Summer Transfer Rumours 2018/19

Benzema can easily replace Pjanic

But seriously, Kovacic is a great talent you could sign, starting bid at 90 mil , we have already warned City

ps: very surprised there is like 0 interest in Ruben Neves from big clubs

We should definitely keep Pjanić but man that's one he'll of a crazy offer if true. Ofcourse we won't well him if he wants to stay.

And I agree with Luca. Can't replace Pjanić with fantasy names like SMS for example who is of a completely different profile. We'll most likely end up with Rabiot or Paredes if we sell him so I'd much rather Pjanić in that case.

I would love Benzema, i love false nines, i love having someone to offset goalscoring wingers, he's the antithesis of a 9, he's a 6 in a striker position. All we need is a goalscoring winger

but I;m struggling to think of players with his profile as good as him being available atm

can see a cheeky bid for Andre Gomes tbh

Paredes, maybe PSG will be forced to sell Verratti if they are successful for Kante.

It's not that Pjanic is this ultra talented player [but I rate him highly], it's that our midfield is complete cheeks without him and wouldn't be able to pass a ball 5 meters. Maybe we'll go full thuggery and play with Matuidi-Can-Khedira and break teams in half, or maybe we'll use Barca's contacts and replace Marchisio's knees via the black market. Who can really be sure. Without Pjanic, it doesn't matter how good our attack is I fear.

If you think SMS doesnt have the profile to replace Pjanic, well the same is true for Rabiot.

to be frank, i would find it a bit pathetic that you sign CR to then sell key assets, thus downgrading the quality of your team. If you sell Pjanic, you better be doing it because you want to sign Kroos or someone like that.

CR did not join you to play with ex russian league players like Paredes.

The same applies to Higuain. You need a strong squad around CR. I hope your management doesnt think they are just gonna waltz the CL because CR join. We basically built the team squad in europe to achieve what we did, CR was clearly not enough.

Calma. Matuidi and Khedira are two World Cup winning midfielders. Put some respect on their names.

If we sell Pjanic it will be because he refuses to extend, not because of a lack of ambizione.

Higuain will be sold because we have far too many forwards as it is, again, not a lack of ambition here. Even without Higuain, this is our attack: Cristiano, Dybala, Mandzukic, Douglas Costa, Bernardeschi, Cuadrado.... that's damn good.

@nick

Può ridere quanto vuole...magari non riderà se e quando il giocatore cambierà agente. E quando scoprirà che Benzema ha fatto parlare altri intermediari con il Milan. E ha parlato lui stesso con Gattuso. Io non rido...racconto quel che ho verificato.

Yes, Di Marzio did roast Benzema's agent ffs

Tbh we will replace him with a top MF if Pjanic gets sold. I'm just being on the realist/pessimist side for the moment.

But I also think this all a ploy by his agent to get a raise which he will IMO

In the end I think Pjanić stays. Rugani and Higuain gets sold..

I think just Higuain in the end @s

Pjanic was set for a new contract before Ronaldo's transfer happened, now I'm sure he's trying to get paid even more

where is the CR effect if when you sign CR Pjanic refuses to renew

why does he not want to stay?

Di Marzio reported yesterday that it's his agent pushing for the sale (Fali Ramadani who is like a Balkan version of Mendes) but the will of Pjanić is to continue with Juventus. Don't know how true the story is.

No one has actually said he wants to leave. He has a contract until 2021, Juventus want to renew his contract, its unclear if he does at this point, perhaps its his agent looking for better wages

Yes honestly i would be disappointed if you sell your key players, that includes HIguain.

You think were going to go into the season with 7 forwards? It would be a waste. Selling Mandzukic or even Cuadrado would accomplish the same thing but logically Higuain would return a higher fee and personally, I see a more interesting group of forwards without him

Roma prise Malcom from the EPL.  How in the hell did Monchi pull this one off.

BREAKING: Everton close to signing Richarlison from Watford for £50m! https://t.co/c9CXriukHH pic.twitter.com/6SJbxhQ4un

wattba...

Everton manager Marco Silva was "part of the management team" that brought Richarlison to Watford. Managers sometimes have clauses in their contracts that entitle them to a percentage of any profits from sales of players that were signed by that manager. I bet Marco Silva is going to personally land some of that £50m, the only way this transfer fee makes sense.

I don't understand this obsession with Higuain. We have 7 great forwards. We won't be any worse if Higuain leaves and he gives us the highest fee. Great if he stays, but we have to be realistic.

I feel bad for him if he only got two seasons at the club as he clearly is a nice guy who did great here and likes It, but the club has to do what it has to do.

Barcelona have launched a third bid to sign Chelsea winger Willian which is in excess of £55m, Sky Sports News understands.

Sky Sports News reported last week that Barcelona had tabled a second offer believed to be worth up to £53m for the Brazil international, with talks still ongoing between the two clubs and representatives of the player.

Sky sources understand the La Liga champions first began efforts to lure Willian to the Nou Camp over three months ago.

Sell sell sell

are they already looking to offload Dembele? seems impossible. They can't recoup.  I think Willian would improve us but only because we are shit up top. I'd honestly rather we didn't go for him, so if Barca can snag him and the links to us die,yes pls. Can see Chelsea signing Fekir definitely though.

Hazard Higuain Fekir actually looks legit

I dont think Barca are trying to sell Dembele.

As a reminder they invested 150 MILLIONS on him lmao, they will try to make it work. good luck with that; he reminds me of a less talented version of Sanchez, we will see if he can improve his game intelligence with repetition and training.

They shouldn't sell him, you don't buy a player and then give up on him after 17 games.

At least if you have any sort of intelligence but Barca doesn't show that very often

Should we talk about then investing 65 millions on a 30 years old william? like what the fck

the only explanation is they know some chinese team will sign him in a year

Inter Milan sporting director Piero Ausilio is in Munich to negotiate a deal with Bayern for Arturo Vidal. Inter will make an offer between €23m and €24m. Bayern asking for €30m. Vidal has made it clear that he wants to return to Italy with Inter [Sportmediaset]

He's not even that good either

Their management is awful.
