It’s nonetheless too early to foretell what’s going to occur within the last weeks of the switch window for my part!
Many issues can occur for all the massive golf equipment… it’s gonna be an extended couple of weeks, for certain.
So, not time for predicting who may have had the perfect window, however credit score to West Ham to date.
They’ve completed a wonderful job touchdown gamers like Wan Bissaka, Todibo, Guido Rodriguez, Fullkrug… these are names for high, high golf equipment.
Congrats to West Ham, actually.
A number of rumours about Actual Madrid guys, however there’s zero information on Rodrygo to date.
His full focus is on Actual Madrid, and there have been no negotiations with different golf equipment.
He’s anticipated to remain on the membership they usually imagine their market is closed additionally when it comes to large gamers’ exit. They’re not planning for any large gross sales.
It’s the identical scenario with Eder Militao. No gamers leaving within the last two weeks, the squad is closed.
Additionally, they’re nonetheless ready for David Alaba to come back again from harm, so promoting Militao now would make no sense and be loopy.
All quiet on the Santiago Bernabeu… nothing to see right here.
The negotiations between Atletico Madrid and Chelsea for Joao Felix are ongoing so no guys, I can’t point out the distinction when it comes to each membership’s valuation of the participant now.
It’s membership to membership dialogue in the intervening time somewhat than the standard course of which is official bid-official reply.
So, talks are fixed and the hazard of collapsing is clearly a risk however, as of now, negotiations proceed.
I’d not concentrate on a deal collapsing to be sincere, I choose to inform folks what’s occurring now somewhat than ‘predicting’ issues – and the fact proper now’s that that the 2 golf equipment are nonetheless negotiating.
I do know it’s a loopy saga. I do know it’s gone quiet within the final 24/48 hours, however behind the scenes, the conversations are happening and I can assure that Chelsea are nonetheless engaged on the take care of Atletico Madrid and with the agent of the participant, Jorge Mendes.
I’ll hold you posted, however this stays an ongoing story in the intervening time.
Newcastle are nonetheless engaged on a deal for Marc Guehi, and regardless of having a 3rd bid rejected, they’re nonetheless hopeful of reaching an settlement with Crystal Palace.
Guehi’s additionally anticipating Newcastle to return to the desk and negotiate once more.
It’d hold this feature open for the ultimate two weeks, whereas Palace have additionally added Robin Gosens to their listing at LWB.
This week in London a director of Napoli has been engaged on the deal for Romelu Lukaku.
We all know that Lukaku has an settlement with Napoli for a three-year contract, the wage is okay and the participant is already speaking with Antonio Conte. He needs to go to Napoli, however work remains to be ongoing.
Throughout these conversations I can inform you, as soon as once more, that Chelsea instructed Napoli clearly that they’ve Victor Osimhen on their listing they usually need to make a transfer for him, however as of now, Chelsea have nonetheless not offered a contract proposal to the participant.
So, I’d say we’re nonetheless on the early levels of the Osimhen story, however on the superior levels of the Lukaku story.
As I all the time instructed you, Osimhen is not going to go on mortgage and won’t cut back his wage from €11m web, so Chelsea nonetheless have to do some work on the participant aspect earlier than saying ‘okay, we are actually on the key levels of the Osimhen story.’
I obtained many questions this summer season about Antoine Griezmann, as a result of we heard many rumours that he could be on his method to MLS.
I can inform you that, this summer season, Antoine Griezmann was by no means near becoming a member of MLS.
LAFC, the membership of Olivier Giroud and Hugo Lloris – so an enormous French affect – are planning to make a transfer for Antoine Griezmann in 2025.
This summer season was only a dream and was virtually unimaginable. Subsequent summer season, they’ll attempt for him.
Let’s see what Atlético Madrid resolve to do, and what the participant will resolve to do. I’m not saying that he’s going to MLS, however I’m saying that they’ll attempt once more.
Griezmann has all the time been and can stay tremendous severe, tremendous dedicated, tremendous skilled.
One yr in the past, he had the likelihood to go to Saudi for loopy cash, however he all the time solely wished to proceed at Atlético Madrid.
We all know that Barcelona are in search of an answer for Vitor Roque.
He rejected the likelihood to go to Saudi however let’s see if they’ll return.
Within the final 24 hours, Sporting have begun working actively to make one thing occur for Vitor Roque. They’re in negotiations with with Deco and with the agent of the participant.
Fellow Portuguese aspect, Porto, have been within the information in the present day as a result of they bought Evanilson to Bournemouth to interchange Solanke, however I’m instructed that Porto, as of in the present day, should not in superior talks for Vitor Roque.
