2017 Winter Transfer Rumors Mk. 1

Bokayoko apparently is a Mourinho target (as a Carrick replacement) for the next summer.

Guys i hope there is no hard feelings I was just having some fun lol

Bakayoko is a DM that plays in Monaco's successful double pivot, good defender with decent technique. Sidi r is France new starting right back, he can equally play on the left. Both are all and all good players both very defensive minded, not surprising Conte would like them.

Bakayoko is young and has a lot of talent...  but he reminds me of Kondogbia a bit too much.  He may not have the mental makeup to take the next step up.

As far as Sidibe... he's for real.  He made his name as a good defender for Lille.  At Monaco though, he attacks a ton.  He has 3 goals already this season, which is a lot for 4 months work on a team that plays with 2 full strikers.  He, on the other hand, is a competitor.  A good purchase for whomever buys him. Raw on the edges however. Needs polishing.

According to kicker, Niklas Süle wants to join Bayern and has agreed personal terms with us for a contract until 2022.
However, the transfer fee could prove a stepping stone.
25m € are regarded as appropriate by Bayern, yet a pool of interested clubs including Chelsea, Milan, Inter and PSG might endanger an agreement.
kicker reckons though that a compromise between personal friends Hoeness and Hopp seems feasible.

Note: this is regarding a transfer next summer, not this winter.

Kicker | Alonso's future at Bayern will depend on next season's new signings, Kimmich's role and Renato Sanches' development

Kicker | If Lahm decides to retire next summer, Joshua Kimmich will take over the right back spot therefore Xabi Alonso could stay

Kicker | Xabi is open to the idea of staying at Bayern beyond 2017. Ancelotti still counts on him but Bayern board will have the final say

Can see him joining Pep at City tbh.

He is 35, cant see him getting more than a 1 year contract anywhere.

None taken at all all fun mate

I'd rather we go after Verratti than Bakayoko tbh (seen some videos of him now). I don't think it would be too hard to lure Verratti away from PSG, especially in the summer. And I guess Sidibe would make sense at LWB if he can put in crosses with his left foot too. Alonso needs good competition.

I'd take both, tbh.

It's really disgusting how Bayern continue to buy the best players off other Bundesliga team just to kill the competition. They do it again and again and again. And then when the league doesn't generate the right attraction and TV money because most of the league is shit, they complain and whine about PL clubs having more money to blow than them.

They're just doing their job.

Hoffenheim are not competition & won't even make into EL. Hugely talented German with 20M release clause - Bayern have to be incredibly stupid to not capitalize on it. We also have many home grown players like Lahm, Badstuber, Alaba, Muller, Hummels unlike Chelsea whose oil daddy buys them players. If Bayern won't buy Sule this summer then Chelsea or Liverpool will. We are keeping the best players in the BL.

The idea of the league is sh** is ridiculous considering it is a far better league EUFA co-efficient wise than EPL . Chelsea would lose to Bayern 9 out of 10 times if they were in the same league.

BL has a pretty good TV rights deal, globally 2nd highest after the new deal was signed.The domestic rights money is one of the highest in the world (either highest or incredibly close to England). Only the overseas TV rights fetch less money than EPL because English is a a global language, England had colonies throughout the world. As Asian or American is more comfortable with EPL than BL etc etc.

What abou Ricardo pereira, Nice's RB. Is he as good as whoscored says?

So which Brazilian star is the next guy to jump the China bandwagon ? Wouldn't be surprised if Neymar went there tbh.

Bild | Hamburg are interested in signing Holger Badstuber in January. His contract at Bayern expires next summer

According to Sky Germany, Julian Draxler has joined PSG for €42.5m+€5.5m bonuses. Transfer will be announced today

More disgusting than Chelsea's "Let's sign 50 players, loan them all out and hope that 4 of them are good to sell for profit?"

Everton offer 40 million pounds to #ManUtd for #Depay and #Schneiderlin

http://gianlucadimarzio.com/en/everton-offer-40-million-pounds-to-manchester-united-for-depay-and-schneiderlin

Both of them deserve better than West frikkin Brom. Will gladly take that money from Everton.
Also it will cover for Lindelof transfer which is now just a formality by the looks of it.

LOl it would be hilarious if Schneiderlin and Depay went to Everton and they finished above United.

40m for those 2 sounds about right, would take it

Bayern are interested in signing Napoli's Faouzi Ghoulam (25) next summer [Eurosport]

Don't know if he is good or if this is true. Alaba may move to CM if he comes in since he is a LB

Chinese clubs are offering Rooney 700k p/w if he moves there.


I would not think twice. Just play like one season ffs.

Borussia Dortmund will sign defender Omer Toprak from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer, according to Bild.

A €12 million transfer fee has been agreed between the two Bundesliga sides, with the Turkish centre-back set to sign a four-year contract with BVB.

The 27-year-old has been with Leverkusen since 2011, when he moved from Freiburg.

Toprak is seen as an ideal purchase by Thomas Tuchel, especially after Mats Hummels left Dortmund for Bayern Munich and replacement Marc Bartra's poor performances of late.

ohhh Dortmund the slayer weakened similar competition - Reus Sokratis Toprak!!!!!!!!!!
