Wow, that’s a great deal for PSG to get Icardi, he’s well worth that kind of money. I do wonder if we’ll see many big deals though due to the financial mess covid19 will have created.

I guess we just have to watch this space.

Werner would be great for Liverpool, they are already doing awesome right now and they rarely ever play a striker, they play with firmino as a false 9 but that could go along for so long, people will eventually figure out their tactics and that is the death of many teams, even Barcelona who won like multiple cups each season for a while back in the day (pep days with xavi and iniesta and so forth) eventually started to lose badly only because everyone in the world figured out how they were playing and created a solution to it.

So, if Liverpool wants to continue being good, they will have to switch things up and with Firmino behind Werner they would be offensively amazing, well they currently are already but they will continue to be like that and create this new enigma at least.

I see that these first attempts to summarize the sport especially football. It is that the organizers and teams are more prepared and aware of what it is to get ahead in the face of the virus. There is a strategic plan (logistics, health protocols, funds, etc.) so that everything goes well is the impression I have after seeing the news. Consequently, all members, teams and athletes will demonstrate immunity to the virus and that will be a contribution to science and the calendar in this session market could be successfully followed.
 

Icardi is almost a PSG player for the price of 50+7 milions from Inter.
Don't clear if Inter will use this money to pay Lukaku-Barella or if they are going as someone is saying for Tonali.

Meanwhile small rumor about Juventus Pogba I don't know how much trust put on this info but we maybe have 2 offers

70m € in 3 years payment
80m € in 4 years payment.

If there will be an another wave of outbreak in Italy, I think people teams can not think about transfer season.
And yet, transfer activity should still be done. However, if the epidemic continues in a few waves, we can see pauses in the next season.

It seems that Icardi still continues to play in Paris SG for 50 million euros plus 8m more in variables.
Caio Henrique will return to Atletico Madrid.
It seems that Paul Pogba is not returning to Real because Manchester United is asking too much
Atletico Madrid, Inter and Liverpool are fightingto bring in Timo Werner. Who will eventually bring him?

Adding one small thing,

in Italy, the next market session should be from 1st September to 5th October.
This is obvious in a situation like this without a second wave of COVID19.

I don't know who suggested Arthur's swap for Pjanic, it's funny TBH. Although their current market values are close but Pjanic's value will decline in coming years because he's already 30. But Arthur on the other hand is just 23 and not to forget that he is good fit for Barca DNA. I love that guy, he is my third favorite player just next to Messi and KDB. The way he moves ball in the midfield is spectacular, it's almost impossible to take the ball off his feet. The only issue with him currently is that he moves ball sideways too often but with time I think he can make those strategic Xavi type passes in the box too. If he keep playing good, he may become Barca legend in coming years. It would to funny to lose him for some 30 years old basic midfielder.


It may sound bizarre but I no longer want Lautaro's arrival to Camp Nou. Braithwaite really stole the show with his cameo in last few La Liga matches. I didn't expect him to have such pace and precision but he was wonderful. The way he sprint with ball provides much needed pace in Barca forward line. Now Suarez will be fit too so if Suarez and Braithwaite can together give good 90 minutes in front then who needs Martinez. Not to forget Trincao coming next season too. Kid is astounding player, I expect him to perform much better than Dembele.

Some fresh news from Italy.

Arthur is almost a NONO thing now, Barca still interested in Pjanic, Juventus wants 50m or an equivalent player.
Inter wants 111m€, not 1 € less for Lautaro Martinez.

Inter wants 70m€ for Icardi, PSG has 2 days to decide.
Inter maybe can ask less if PSG can convince Cavani to go to Inter for free.

^  Nope.  Werner.  Perfect fit.  IMHO.


The thing is Mane could go to Real.  At least that's what the rumors are.  And Trofo's prolly right.  He could be a sub and could prove useful at cup games.  To his defense, he's still young and has a lot of potential to improve.  He obv has the ability.  Maybe he'll break through under Klopp..?

Traore has scored only 5 premier league goals for Wolves, that's poor imo, he may not be a striker, but for a wing forward 5 goals in two seasons is below standard and that's not the level that can take him to Liverpool. Traore is heavily built and he's strong, so he most times bullies defenders; but other than that many times he just overplays and outruns with the ball, no skills, he is not a good passer or dribbler and doesn't score, for me Traore is so average, if not below.
Or kept for the carabao cup and FA cup games, when Klopp will most likely give first team players a rest.

Adama Traore is not a necessary signing for Liverpool right now. They have two pacey forwards in Salah and Mane. Mane also has that physical ability to go one on one against defenders. Adama Traore would just be more of a liability IMO and will be more of a bench warmer just like Shaqiri

According to the Football Espana report, Newcastle have made an official approach to the Barcelona player who is currently on loan at Bayern Munich.  Although there is no certainty yet about the salary or contract that will be offered by the Magpies to Coutinho, it is likely that the amount will be high.

In addition, two of the main candidates for Newcastle new coach, Mauricio Pochettino and Rafael Benitez, are reported to have agreed if the club brings Coutinho.  Reportedly indeed Pochettino and Benitez, who also briefly coached Newcastle, were plotted to replace the current manager, Steve Bruce.

I don't like that guy for Liverpool. Maybe I am wrong but it seems to me that Traore is very limited tactically and that he just uses his extraordinary athletic abilities to make the difference. Furthermore, he sort of takes the ball and doesn't give it to anybody until he looses it or manages to break the flank. Nothing wrong with that but that sort of plays are not for the biggest clubs in the world where all your teammates are top notch and love to have time on the ball as well.

I can see him only as a last 15 minutes sub to take advantage of tiring defenses when things aren't going LFC way, or to exploit counter attacks when they do.

Just heard...  LFC is interested in signing Adama Traore.  I hope it happens.  It's about time he's given a break at a big club imo.  And he's surely gonna improve under Klopp.

chelsea is looking for a successor for Kepa and has probably found one in dortmund... Bürki

https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/news/view?id=361533

valencia should be interested in Kepa in return
we'll see what will happen

looks like the deal's going done this week

https://www.transfermarkt.us/inter-milan-drop-price-for-icardi-deal-with-psg-expected-on-sunday/view/news/361527

so most likely the days of Cavani at psg goes slowly to the end... one of my former favorite players on this earth

I'm not saying that Juventus haven't a lot of money, Real and Barca and Manchester has a lot more.
Cr7 costs now around 60m€ with taxes/year at Juventus, when he will leave in 2 years or earlier Juventus will have 60m€ "free to spend".

The example with Mbappè, he can leave in 2 years exactly when the contract of CR7 will expire.

Juventus can use the new law in Italy and pay only taxes in 50% of salary for workers from EU, so... (easy math salary+25%= total fee)

TDLR

Mbappè can leave for free in 24 months and if he will go he will ask a huge salary cause he has no cost for the team for the sale.
Juventus we will have 60m€ free from the ending of the CR7 contract.

Juventus if wants can convince Mbappè with this money 48m € to the player and 12m€ of taxes.

Can any other team pay 48+48=96m year in salary? probably not (only in Italy we have this huge discount on taxes)

Well, when you have good enough players and you are dealing with teams that wants much more money than you can give, you are not going to get the player you want. You have to understand Juventus has a lot of money, and they have been champions for 500 years in a row now or something, but just because they do, doesn't mean they have unlimited amount of money and they can't continue to print money like they always do. Maybe next year they will not be champions? Maybe they will be second or even third? So they can't just spend money like everything will continue forever.

Pogba is a great player but he is also unreliable, they probably realized a consistently 80% player is much better than a volatile 90% player so they will probably go look for someone else instead even if they want to end up paying the same money which I doubt they will have to.

Both they will leave soon IMHO in 2 years they will be both away.
Neymar wants Barca, and Neymar is the target player of the next president of Barcelona in the next election.

Mbappè's contract will expire in 2 years if he will not renew, today he said "my Idol is CR7", Agnelli 2 years ago said, "we will get the next CR7 when he will younger than Cristiano".

Cr7 will leave Juventus in 2 years and he will leave a huge possibility on Juventus casher to pay a huge salary for Mbappè, even 50m€ + taxes.

Mbappè IMHO will go to Juventus or Real.
