With David Luiz getting closer to PSG, Marquinhos could leave, according to Sky Italia. Barcelona are interested in him. They tried signing Marquinhos last year.

Noooooo, I want Benatia, not a 20 year old ugly pos who had the chance to join Barca last summer but went for the money.

Marquinhos had a terrible season at PSG, not worth what they paid for him, but they said it was for the future

Alves-TS-Luiz-Maxwell

next thing you know they are signing Gustavo and Cesar

Anybody heard of this kid?

scouted and bought him in FIFA

so i can confirm, he is the real deal

Benatia (Roma): "I'm fine at Roma but a renewal isn't possible and I'm 27, an age at which offers from big clubs make you think" [arriyadia]

Benatia (Roma): "Clubs like Barça, Bayern, Man City, make every player dream. My agent is dealing with things, I think we'll have news soon"

Yes, yes, yes. Obviously he mentioned Bayern and City as a smokescreen. The fact he mentioned Barca first means it's basically done.

yeah, benatia going to barca, looks so obvious lol

As great as he's been this season, we'd very likely sell him in a heartbeat if our evaluation is met. Part of the new Roma business model.

Still don't think he's a good fit for Barca from a tactical perspective though.

I also think he's angling for a higher salary as well.

Are you telling me if we met Strootman's or Pjanic's valuation, they'd be ours?

According Gazzetta dello Sport , Benatia's agent is going to Barcellona to talk and to understand better what are the  intentions of Barcellona for him. In Italy all talk expecially about Barcellona more than Bayern or City anyway

Yes, but Ayre would still find a way to *bleep* it up

Ayre gets more stick than he deserves, to be honest.

As good as Varane they said

Nice!
Benatia is surely a good addition for us.

Pretty much everyone knew it was the greatest rip-off of last year, so it's not that surprising to be honest.

Toni Kroos confirms he is not signing for Man Utd:

PSG have agreed a £40mil fee with Chelsea for David Luiz:

Yep. Kroos to Chelsea. It's all there. You heard it here first.

TBH, I'd take 40m for Luiz.

Looks like he is gone, too.

That's more than the fee PSG paid for Thiago Silva. With a cap on their spending this summer, would it really be wise to spend so heavily on one position on Luiz? I'm taking this rumour with a pinch of salt until I read the news out of France itself.

Luiz news to PSG is bogus.  Absolutely bogus.  Marquinhos/Silva are the starters and they just extended Camara as a backup CB.  They just need one more bench cover, not a starter.  Don't pay attention to any big money expenditure on a CB.  Alex wants too much money for a new contract, which is why he hasn't been signed yet and they're looking to replace his spot.

PSG are looking to buy 2-4 players according to Laurent Blanc yesterday.  The top 2 are RB and LAM/LW.  The rumors regarding Aurier, Hazard, Griezmann and Alves are all legit.  After that, it's about a backup CB as i mentioned and, if Rabiot wants to go, another CM.    That's the extent of the recruiting.

Oh and Cavani is going nowhere. He's already been told and he's agreed to give it another year.

Thanks for the summary sports. Would PSG look to loan Rabiot out for playing time rather than lose him permanently? I know he's very highly rated.

That's what they want but Rabiot either wants to stay or be sold... his feeling is that, unless a club pays a large enough amount of money for him, they have no incentive to play/invest in him. He's right btw.

Also, l'Equipe had a big article on Monaco, a clun they never get good info from But in any case, they said that Monaco are targeting 2 spots for investment; They are going to thrown the kitchen sink at Di Maria and they are looking for another top ball recovery player like Toulalan.
