Transfer Rumours | Tactics | Who to buy/sell etc

Milan called Benz' agent.  Di Marzio went complete BS on the content of that conversation.  Benz' agent said thank you for the call... but Benz is not interested in a transfer unless Madrid want to sell. The rest was complete editorial by GDM.

GDM is a bullshit artist like all of these other "scoop" type reporters who only get paid if they come up with this stuff. He has to come up with something every week.

Problem is, PSG doesn't have an alternative, so it's really difficult to get him now, especially with Florentino in full cheap mode.

Icardi is an option, though I'm not sure whether his release clause has expired. He's not a killer, but at least he's way better than the joke we have right now. He, at least, can score.

looks like Theo is going on loan to La Real

does this mean we're signing a lb or will the club expect nacho or odriozola as cover for marcelo is enough?

i will enjoy it until Bayern shut it down lol

According to Marca, Lope wants a new n9. Now go get Cavani for us por favor. Lewa can stay were he is imo. That ship sailed 5 seasona ago when he opted for Bayern instead of RM

Cavani, according to French media, would cost 120 mil lol. PSG don't want to sell unless they get his weight in gold.

It’s not the 120 that scares off Perez, it’s the 12M salary. I still think we end up with Rodrigo!

Ending up with Rodrigo.

Might as well end me now. Terrible player.

Might as well buy Yussuf Poulsen. He's younger and the exact same player.

So team has left for USA, including Theo, although his loan to Real Sociedad seemed like it was to have been done before the flight. And Courtois is still not here and Kovacic is here, bottom line may be no more deals!

you really think that? lol let's wait and see. i think there will be moves to be made, i doubt flo and lopetegui are stupid, what's bothering flo is he's got to resort to going after people he isn't familiar with or wasn't interested in. that's where its now up to the coach to make his demands ; as constructed, in comparison to our rivals, the gap is massively huge and i'm sure the figures in charge know this. i'm sure they're plotting something but are being cautious (and no, not neymar, i said it last season, the guy's under contract, and psg aren't interested, we shouldn't even waste time on that....yet)

bill thinks that because the team is on tour, the transfer market is closed lol

I think there will be more urgency once we get a few games in so we get a better idea of what works and what doesn't work.

what I don't get is why we're not after Higuain since he currently is on sale  he's the safest option imo.

It assumes Higuain wants to come back. I'm not too sure he would. Reports are saying he wants to either stay in Italy or rejoin Sarri.

I've tried to stay hopeful regarding a CF, but the market is just so crap that it feels like we likely won't get anyone. I'm okay with it because my expectations for this season are extremely low, but it would have been nice to see a new face in the CF position.

I guess training must be going really well for Lopetegui.

Julen Lopetegui to MARCA wrote:"We are delighted with the squad we have and are convinced that we will fight for all our objectives, and it cannot be any other way at Real Madrid," he continued. "We want to be a great team on the pitch.

"If a player doesn't come or go, I will be a happy coach.

"We are not going to talk about hypotheticals. With the squad we have, we will be able to face the demands of Real Madrid."

I guess that means vinicius and mayoral will be given confidence?

Di Marzio reporting Inter has initiated contact with Madrid for Modric and the player is open to the move. Not sure how to feel tbh, still a top 2 CM in the world but he is also turning 33 next month.

I guess all those Milinkovic Savic rumors earlier in the window might hold more weigh now although i'd much prefer Eriksen, Pogba or Thiago.

like i said in the general section, at this point, why the hell not.

bring thiago in and this is actually not bad for what madrid are trying to do, which is bringing the medium age of the team down and going in a new direction.

If Modric also asks to leave like CR did, then what? we are gonna force him to stay despite him winning 4 CLs with us? we will allow it.

Marca: United offered 60 millions for Kovacic who insist he wants to go. But Kovacic doesnt wanna go.

Yeah agreed. Never been a huge fan of forcing club legends to stay if they want new challenges or else. No one should be forced to be here no matter the contract they've signed. It's a privilege, not a punishment, to be a Real player.

Wouldn't mind seeing Thiago here as a replacement, but I doubt any of this is going to happen at all. Thiago, Kovacic and Ceballos midfield would be incredible though.

Thiago has no place here. we already have bale to deal with as it is with fitness. lets not add another injury prone player to the squad.


kovacic saying no to Mourinho... well i guess he ain't stupid. thats a sinking ship if i ever saw one.

@Freeza, Kovacic looks pretty set on leaving, I think even he will be allowed to walk

7 days until EPL summer transfer window closes due to recent regulations. are we securing Courtois or will Chelsea be fools and take a loss next year?

Even if we sell Modric?

if we don't sign anyone to replace Modric no but if we sign Thiago for example, he is in the same situation.

I will eat a hot dog on camera if we sign Thiago

He is a La Masia product, it should matter to him
