France Football saying that Hazard and PSG have reached a 5-year deal worth 15 mil a season. After the WC, they will make an offer to Chelsea of up to 75 million for Hazard.

If this happens, they'd need to sell Lavezzi, Pastore and Marquinhos.

75 millions for Hazard rofl

by B-Mac Tue Jun 03, 2014 4:44 pm

like Roman needs that money and would sell Laughing

by Tomwin Lannister Tue Jun 03, 2014 4:47 pm

If PSG spend 125M this Summer, FFP should shut them down Laughing

But they'll give them an extra 10M in fines and cut their squads down to 20 men.

by Mr Nick09 Tue Jun 03, 2014 4:50 pm

not really, they would still be operating within FFP guidelines. Selling and buying etc...

1) that being said, France Football are usually terrible with their transfers rumors so i wouldnt put any stock to it. If transfer God Di Marzio was reporting this, ok. but Frnace football? Laughing

2) Mourinho is not daft enough to sell Hazard just yet. Yes he can build a team without hazard like pathetico, but it's too risky and he has too much to lose if it goes bad. He needs big talents that give guarantees.

by Tomwin Lannister Tue Jun 03, 2014 4:51 pm

Yeah maybe if they sold Cavani and Lucas. But 125M + OUT and selling Lavezzi and some bench scrubs surely wouldn't comply with anything.

by Mr Nick09 Tue Jun 03, 2014 4:55 pm

they can get 25-30 mil for marquinhos, circa 20 mil for pastore, same for lavezzi. English clubs can pay, they have so much cash. it's doable theoretically.

Tbf 3-5-2 would actually work if the wide players in the oppositions 3rd weren't composed of a 1 footed converted CM and a classic 30 year old full back

If we had Marcelo and somebody similar on the other side it would actually work well. Our main problem is our main attacking outlet in our attacking plays ends up being a player who can't cross, can't dribble and can't take his man on.

It also allows them to keep their kids, whom i rate very highly. Namely, Rabiot, Ongenda and Coman. Lucas become the primary sub on the wings... while Ongenda and Coman are also very capable. Rabiot plugs in for Pastore.

which also deals nicely with another issue: The homegrown requirement for CL while dealing with the FFP sanction of lesser number of players.

AC Milan agree deal for Menez, who would sign for free on a 3 year contract and also agree a deal for Alex, who would sign for free on a 2 year contract, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.

Fabio Borini's agent insists the striker wants to stay at Liverpool and fight for his place next season.

The recent arrival of Rickie Lambert from Southampton has again raised question marks about Borini's future at Anfield.

Borini is due to return to Liverpool this summer after a successful spell on loan at Sunderland last season.

The Italian's representative, Marco De Marchi, claims Borini will not be forced out of Liverpool by Lambert's arrival.

"Does Lambert's arrival close the door on Fabio Borini? No, I don't think so," Borini's agent Marco De Marchi told tuttomercatoweb.com.

"We have received no communications in that regard.

"In this last season, Fabio gave a considerable contribution towards keeping Sunderland up.

"He was praised by everyone, especially by the Liverpool manager [Brendan] Rodgers.

"So, after his holidays he will go back to Liverpool to prepare for the new season wearing the shirt of this historic club.

"He wants to compete with everyone and be an extra resource for the coach and the team.

"Borini could be of use to any team, but no-one has contacted us and his desire is to show what he's got at Liverpool."

Roma close deal to sign Seydou Keita for free on a 1 year contract, according to Sky Italia.

Eden Hazard has dropped a broad hint he will be staying with Chelsea by announcing he will wear the No 10 shirt next season.

Hazard has worn No 17 since his arrival at Stamford Bridge two summers ago but he will now be able to wear his favourite number which was vacated when Juan Mata left for Manchester United in January.

The Belgium international has persistently been linked with a move to big-spending Paris Saint-Germain this summer, but his comments on Chelsea's official website suggest he will be going nowhere.

"I am very pleased to be able to wear the number 10 for Chelsea," PFA Young Player of the Year Hazard said.

"It is my favourite number and is one I am used to wearing for the national team, as well as the one worn by some of my heroes from when I was a kid, like Zinedine Zidane.

"I hope it brings me a lot of luck in the future and I look forward to the fans seeing me in it next season."

The deal is already done.

I actually think Paulinho would be decent at Roma. Now on the other hand Tottenham letting go of Dembele would be self inflicted suicide given how weak the left side of the pitch already is...

Yohan Modric wrote:Napoli's main target for midfield is Tottenham midfielder Sandro and they made a €10m bid, according to Sky Italia. Tottenham however want almost €20m.

Given how important the DM is in Pochettino's system Spurs it would be idiotic to offload either Sandro or Capoue. Want to spend €20m on Nabil Bentaleb :coffee:

Would hate to see Paulinho leave Spurs. He's not been used to his full capacity this season and he's been underwhelming, but I really like him as a player.
