FINALLY!! And of course it happened when I had one bar of signal during my son’s PK graduation. Luckily had turned notifications on for the official twitter page yesterday.
So Mendy is gonna get done soon. Need a midfielder I want Pogba but he will likely be too much both in fee and salary. What are other options? Eriksen? Sarabia?
Not if Levy is really demanding €100M+ for Eriksen. Sarabia is Isco/James Lite and there's no room on the left wing. If Pogba isn't an option I'd like Lo Celso. Rabiot and his dipshit mom are known headaches but they could sign him for free and he'd be a great reserve/role option (although I assume he's gonna want a starting spot wherever he goes) Interested to see what the plan is on the right wing. Can Vinicius play on the right? And if so is he ready? Is Rodrygo good enough yet for a reserve role? He's still so young that he's probably much better off getting regular minutes elsewhere. Can Asensio take the next step and claim the spot? Assuming a good enough offer doesn't come in are Bale or James given another shot? If Zidane opts to play both Benzema & Jovic the wings are going to have a lot more defensive responsibility (Lucas). Obviously the sales will play a huge part moving forward and I imagine after Mendy we'll see guys moved before any other action is taken.
Mendy to be announced Wednesday. He needs to pass a second physical in Madrid after the first one found an anomaly on his hip (they’re saying it’s nothing and should pass second physical). Price tag is 48m plus incentives.
Another signing, this time a Japanese wonderkid. https://en.as.com/en/2019/06/14/football/1560495376_808312.html
RDT to Benfica for €20M and Real will get €10M from Hermoso's move to Atletico. That's €70M already without any of the bigger names moving.
I think real will ultimately regret this move but given the funds that need to be raised, 40 million is a good price.
Extending with Napoli. Now all the rumors are about van de Beek which is awfully I'd rather keep Ceballos around and given him those minutes.
Sounds like Theo to Milan for €20M is imminent Odegaard is set to renew & extend his contract and accept a 2 year loan at Sociedad.
Talk of James moving across the city to Atletico which I would hate. Especially if it means losing superfan Soup
Ceballos loan to Arsenal is official. Sounds like Vallejo could be heading to Wolves for the year too
