We present to you some of the most interesting deals and the strongest rumors in this European market.
Madrid and Mbappé
For the stellar French striker to dress in white, it is essential to make room for him in the bulky salary bill of the Spanish club. If Madrid wants to compete with PSG’s offer, they will have to think about paying the French striker the thunderous sum of 30 million per season, pennies more, pennies less.
For this reason, Madrid is passionately calibrating its list of expendable players. They could add eight, Bale, Jovic, Varane, Marcelo, Odriozola, Isco, Mariano and Ceballos.
Varane, stimulated by some offers coming from England, is willing to renew, although doubling his income. Marcelo, due to his great seniority and decreased performance, has been invited to leave, although he does not seem very willing.
As for the loans, it is time to see who they want to recover in Madrid. For now there are offers for Mariano at Milan, Jovic at Eintracht and Odegard at Arsenal.
Mega barter between Barça and Manchester City?
In England they speak of a spectacular barter, which would involve four players. The Portuguese Bernardo Silva and Joao Cancelo would arrive at Barcelona, and Sergi Roberto and Dembelé would fly to Manchester. Everything would have started with Silva’s desire to abandon the colors of the Citizens, given the possibility that his minutes on the court are reduced. Joao Cancelo, who usually works as a right-back, would accompany him on his departure. And while that position is very well covered at Barcelona by Emerson and Dest, we must not forget that Cancelo can perform very well on the left side, a position in which Jordi Alba needs competition and an alternative.
In return, Barça would be letting Sergi Roberto and Dembelé go. The full-back, who ends his contract in 2022, is not essential in the plans of the new directive. Dembelé, for his part, is for now one of the main impediments to carry out this operation. He does not show greater desire to be transferred, but neither does he make greater efforts for his renewal with the Blaugrana. His contract ends on June 30, 2022.
The fashion hub in Europe
Argentine defender Cristian Romero is being highly valued. One of the best central defenders last season in Serie A, Romero defends the colors of Atalanta. However, the Argentine is playing on loan, and his pass belongs to Juventus, although Atalanta has a purchase option. While the 23-year-old is in the Copa América, called up by the Argentine national team, several teams fight for his services. In the Premier League, battered defending Manchester United has the first choice. However, Liverpool also needed to gain weight in its defense, has entered the auction. Although it is also true that a few days ago they already spent 40 million for Konaté, from Leipzig, which reduces their power as a bidder.
An ‘Italian’ Tottenham?
As we already know, Fabio Paratici took over the sports management of Tottenham, after successful campaigns at Juventus. Paratici comes up with many ideas, and a good part of them are Italian. His transformation from Tottenham would start on defense. He wants to strengthen it with the rude Slovak Skriniar, currently a member of Inter Milan, who participates in the Eurocup with his national team. Paratici, too, would like to attract Roma’s attacking midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini to North London.
Sterling, inconforme
Raheem Sterling, who scored England’s only goal against Croatia in the European Championship, would be unhappy with his current role at Manchester City. He is no longer the undisputed starter and is surrounded by young competition. And if we consider that Guardiola is in search of a top center forward, Sterling could be used as a bargaining chip. There has been a lot of talk about Haaland (also claimed by Chelsea and Madrid), but also about striker Harry Kane, star at Tottenham, who seems to be looking for greener pastures on the sports field. There are those who say that City would offer Sterling and Gabriel Jesús (more money) to stay with the English attacker, who defends his colors in the European Championship.
A Bayern with a lot of movement
First, Alaba went to Real Madrid and Boateng would also be about to leave. But midfielder Leon Goretzka would be very close to renewing. Well known is the organic austerity of Bayern, a club that detests extravagance and waste. Two players who are not very happy with the renovations proposed by the Bavarian club are Kingsley Coman and Corentin Tolisso. Both could leave the powerful Bayern headquarters.
Those who leave Barcelona
Much has been said about the essential “exit operation” of FC Barcelona. The arrival of Erica García, Emerson and Kun Agüero, to which we must add the imminent arrival of the Dutch Memphis Depay, put more pressure than ever on the starting list. It is essential to release an extraordinarily inflated payroll at the salary level for the previous management. Not just to ease the economy, but to make room for potential new hires. The first to leave go to France. The extreme Konrad De la Fuente heads towards the Olympique de Marseille. While the central defender, Jean-Claire Todibo, has everything arranged with Nice. In Konrad’s case, Barcelona would reserve a buyback option.
Another who is leaving, although he has no destination yet, is Samuel Umtiti, the undervalued French central defender. The club, fed up with his poor performance and the multiplication of his injuries, is determined to let him go. For a couple of years, the name of Umtiti appears on the transfer lists. But this time, the thing is very serious. You must leave. Not only because of its poor performance. Nor should we forget that his salary is among the 8 largest on the team.
Another who will leave is the erratic Junior Firpo. The candidates to take him are Napoli and Milan.
A new striker for Milan
Since Zlatan was injured, Milan has directed its anguish towards acquiring a new striker. There is talk of Giroud, little appreciated by Chelsea. They are also on the lookout for Edin Dzeko, forward, Bosnian from Roma.
In addition, the Italian club is looking for a way to extend its contract with Brahim Díaz, who belongs to Real Madrid.
Cristiano’s future
As he breaks records with Portugal at the European Championship, Cristiano Ronaldo looks set to be coming out of Juventus. And while the Portuguese plays at being indifferent, it seems that his presence does not dominate the plans of Massimiliano Allegri, who on his return to the vechia signora, does not seem very enthusiastic about the Portuguese striker.
The eternal Gianluigi Buffon
The long-lived Italian goalkeeper refuses to retire. He is reluctant to hang up his gloves. The legendary 43-year-old goalkeeper said goodbye to Juventus, but did not announce his permanent retirement from the courts. It seems that he is willing to champion the new project of Parma, a club in which he started in a distant 1995. Buffon does not care that Parma has been relegated to the second division and would be willing to defend his colors for the next two seasons.
The tireless Chelsea
The current champion of the UEFA Champions League, does not rest. Despite the successes, the club does not seem very happy with the scoring figures of its forwards. That is why they want to add a purebred scorer to their ranks. There is a lot of talk about Haaland, but to get the Norwegian attacker, Chelsea will be forced to lighten their coffers. One of the first on the starting ramp would be Kepa, the substitute goalkeeper who cost a true millionaire.
