“Potential Transfer Bargains: Paredes, Umtiti and Di Maria in the Market”

This Saturday’s newsletter begins with three names that we will surely be talking about a lot in the coming weeks: Leandro Paredes, Samuel Umtiti and Ángel Di María. Despite the fact that the details are different, the three have a situation in common in the transfer market: being ‘bargains’ in terms of quality and price. Because? Let’s see it.

The Argentine midfielder, currently at Juventus on loan from PSG, will return to France at the end of the year. Juventus will not buy him back and he will be back on the market at almost zero cost. Yes, I have been told that the French club will facilitate his departure with very favorable conditions for him to leave. Although, obviously, the (high) salary he currently has will have to be negotiated.

Same question for Samuel Umtiti. He will return from Lecce to Barcelona, ​​but to go to another destination permanently. The Barca club will let him leave with a very advantageous operation for whoever wants to take him. After the season he did in Italy, it could be a real success.

On the other hand, they tell me that Di María’s future at Juventus is still open. The parties are negotiating a possible renewal for one more year, but there is still no real decision. I would keep any possible scenario open.

Back in Spain: Bellingham, Nico Williams…

The Bellingham-Real Madrid issue is about to heat up. The agreement in principle between the English player and the Spanish team already exists, now the agreement between the two clubs needs to be formalized. Borussia is focused on the championship. However, starting next week, any time is good for a real acceleration. The price of the transfer, without variables, will be around 100 million euros.

From Madrid to Bilbao. Nico Williams, Athletic star and brother of fellow player Iñaki Williams, is of great interest to Aston Villa. At 20, the right winger is currently negotiating his renewal, but he is highly appreciated throughout Europe. Months ago, even AC Milan asked about him. Although the transfer price is high, with a clause of 50 million. Aston Villa wanted to pay for it in January and will return to attack in June.

The future of Kang-In Lee is yet to be written, with many clubs interested, including (above all) Atlético de Madrid. There is no shortage of admirers of Korean talent in the Premier League. We tell you a curious detail: Manchester United has also asked about the Mallorca playerAlthough in the case of the English club the real market will only begin when there is a definitive change of ownership. One of Kang-In’s ‘idols’ has always been Manchester United star Park Ji-sung. Details. We repeat that Kang-In will leave Mallorca in the summer.

We are going to Italy, with the name on the table of Rafa Benítez. It is true, as reported by the Journal in the last hours, that the return of the Spanish coach is a viable option in the event that Spalletti ceases to be the coach of Napoli. Relations between Benítez, who already made history at Napoli, and the owner De Laurentiis continue to be very good.

While, at Wolverhampton they are practically sure of losing Rubén Neves and Joao Moutinho in the next market. There is also talk of offers for the left-handed central Max Kilman. In France, specifically at PSG, they insist that Bernardo Silva It is a priority objective for the club. There are also those who want to sell to Marco Verratti. At the moment, but, there are no real offers for the Italian. His salary, very high, can be a big problem.

Optimism with Morata at Atlético

Another name that we will hear about soon is the one on the left side of MainzAaron Martin. He is 26 years old, he is having a great season, with five goals and three assists in 26 games, and will not renew his contract, which expires in June. His priority would be to return to Spain, but he also has interesting offers from Italy, Germany and England.

Let’s finish with Álvaro Morata. At the moment I see more possibilities for him to stay at Atlético than for him to leave. The parties are negotiating the renewal. There is still no agreement, but the striker is doing very well in Madrid and there is optimism. In Italy, especially Milan and Juventus, they have not yet made any move for him.

Matteo Moretto is considered one of the largest and best sources of information on the football transfer market. Born and raised in Padua, he studied Political Science before

Enter the world of sports journalism. He started at Sky Italia, but it was with Gianluca Di Marzio that he left, making a name for himself in the news about players from LaLiga, the Premier League and Serie A, among others. His best exclusive of him? He feels especially proud of having told the story of Antoine Griezmann’s return to Atlético de Madrid or the historic departure of Marek Hamšík from Napoli.
