SIGNATURE OF THE MARKET CLOSURE IN SUMMER 2021
Tuesday August 31
We are days away from solving all the conundrums of the transfer market. We are, without a doubt, facing an atypical summer of total and absolute change. Paris Saint Germain is the big dominant after having acquired Messi, Ramos, Donnarumma, Wijnaldum or Achraf this same summer period. Big clubs on the European scene like Real Madrid, Bayern and Juventus have barely budged, while others hope to be part of a last-minute move that will allow them to rise in the hens to win the League of champions.
One of the most recurring names in recent days has been Cristiano Ronaldo. The United and Real Madrid legend wants to leave Juventus and has no shortage of girlfriends as to his future. The Portuguese have been linked in recent days with the Whites and Paris Saint Germain. The favorite appears to be the club that holds all the quota goals [3.75], despite Carlo Ancelotti’s statement denying his interest. The Parisians, having managed to sign Messi, come in second place in [4.50], although this quota can vary diametrically if one of the pieces of the puzzle is moved.
And the play that can trigger the madness in the transfer market at none other than Kylian Mbappé. The Frenchman seems willing not to renew with Paris Saint Germain and if the French were ready to negotiate for their star, Real Madrid would become the club in the best position to [1.57] for the [7.00] from Liverpool. Everyone knows the striker wants to be the headliner and with Messi and Neymar in the same coop it will be very difficult to achieve his ambitions.
Admittedly, Mbappé is the most attractive actor for this market, but that does not mean that he seems to be the most expensive to move. This honor seems to go to a Harry Kane that Pep Guardiola has an eye on. Tottenham aren’t going below 200million and the forward are awaiting a resolution of his case after City bid up to 150million. We’ll see what happens, but for now his signature for citizens is listed on [1.67], while its continuity lies in [2.10]. We already know how tough Daniel Levy is.
Another who looks tough is a Mino Raiola who wants to collect a big commission from Erling Haaland’s future. Although the Dortmund striker appears calm in his current role, the big European clubs have by no means forgotten his potential. Chelsea, fed up with Timo Werner, remains their main claim to [2.75], but let no one forget that this may be Harry Kane’s Plan B for City a [4.00] or plan B to Mbappé so that Real Madrid [6.00]. The Nordic is dynamite in the neighborhood and in the offices.
Finally there is a soap opera which was parked in July and which could come back to life with the closure of August. We are talking about the future of Saúl Ñíguez. Atlético appear determined to sell him to balance his books and the player is keen to leave after not having a good time with Cholo Simeone. The main candidate to host him before the next closure is Barcelona a [2.40] paving the way for an exchange with Griezmann. Another possibility is that he ends up in Liverpool to [2.88] or United to [4.33]. We see that the midfielder maintains a big poster in England.
