Lyon released a statement saying they have ended talks with Liverpool this evening and want Fekir to stay. Weird situation, France football association boss earlier today said the medical was already done and the deal would be done this weekend. Rumor has it Fekir has a bad knee and Liverpool wanted to lower the transfer fee. @Jontro faints
woke up expecting the deal to be finished and lfc can move on to signing lerbon james. but wtf is this schitt?
Lyon's owner Jean-Michael Aulas is renowned as a tough person to deal with. Dont expect to low ball him or for the negotiations to be a breeze.
Tio Florentino looking to spend major bank this summer for the first time in several windows (this is true, net positive in transfers, look it up). Neymar for 300+, Milinkovich-Savic for 120+, Santos wunderkid Rodrygo for 50+... Financed with several outgoing transfers including Bale and Benzema with a miniscule chance of a Ronaldo exit. Not to mention another push for De Gea. With their recent history of being sellers plus the offloading of several current players all of these moves will be as Fair as these types of transfers could get.
Wild situation, also has to do with the president suspending 19 players after the EL defeat vs Atletico and a public feud. This will probably be decided in courts, but I think in this situation (players attacked and injuried when hooligans attacked them at the practice grounds) the players will be favoured, as their employer couldn't provide safety and they can claim fear of their lives.
Santos president saying the Rodrygo-Real transfer is not done and they weren't willing to pay enough, says Bayern are interested. Would be dope, it's still a dream of mine to see one of the upcoming Brazilian youngsters join Bayern, their new generation is insane.
Out of nowhere. Very untypical pick for Real, thought it would be another club legend like Hierro or Guti. In the worst case this will hurt Lopetegui's authority during the World Cup, especially among Barca players.
BILD today saying Arp has finally agreed to join Bayern, now Bayern have to decide whether to buy him out of his contract now or wait til it expires in 2019. Makes me really happy, he's going to be a great one if his past performances are any indication.
Arp is a gud choice. Thomas Lemar to Atletico de Madrid......soon. Arsenal is eyeing Lucas Torreira from Sampdoria.
Dick move by Real also, Spanish team causing turmoil for the own National team, worst timing, could have just appointed Wenger. It's not like there is someone better than Zidane. For the Champions League and at this moment at least.
Rummenigge during an interview today: Lewandowski will definitely stay, bosses won't listen to any offers and don't care who calls. Boateng is thinking about leaving, Bayern will listen to offers and would sell him if the sum is right. Kevin Vogt rumor is fake, Bayern aren't looking at him. Bayern has no info regarding a Thiago transfer, player and agent haven't mentioned anything to the club or openly wished for a move. Still, Rummenigge knows the midfield is extremely packed and that there are about nine players for 3-4 positions, so they'll consider changes. Also says that Bayern would look at the market if players leave and Rummenigge mentioned how the world cup is a good way of scouting some under the radar players.
Agent today stated he's joining Real and has passed the medical, sucks. Guess no Brazilian youngsters for me.
Rai saying Napoli has made a 20mil bid for Rudy. I like the guy, but unfortunately our midfield is packed and we also have Goretzka incoming. Realistically should sell like 2-3 of our central midfielders.
