Van De Beek signing looks secured, he'll be a Real Madrid player next summer. [@marca]

Real Madrid put on hold Van De Beek's signing completely but they've secured it for next summer. At the moment this has been agreed. [@jfelixdiaz - @marca]

So, they aren't signing van beek and Pogba this summer? Hmm

this is not on marca website, i assume you found this off twitter? looks fake.

Zidane doesnt like him, that's why he is not in madrid today, and if Zidane is still the coach next year,then he still wont sign. Sounds like BS to me, he is a nothing special player, waste of time.

Pogba isn't coming, and van beek isn't coming, I wonder what zidanes plans really are going forward tbh.

His plan is to keep his team as is lol

We need another midfielder at least but Van de Beek isnt that imo. There were some rumors about Roca, but nothing came off it, that's too bad. and we will see how the Nerman thing ends this week

So apparently, Navas' move to PSG is imminent according to Marca.

Wish him all the best if that's true. I rate him higher than Courtois, but I'm not the one calling the shots, so thanks for everything Keylor and good luck!

In regards to GK, the likely reported scenario is Keylor leaving to PSG for 13 million and we get Areola on loan. Wouldn't be too bad I supposed. I also saw Pacheco being mentioned as a possible target, but we would have to purchase instead of loan, something we shouldn't do IF the plan is eventually integrate Lunin to the team next year.

I do not watch the french league so I have no opinion on Areola. I leave that up to sports lol

Areola has been very average with PSG though... the fact that PSG tried Buffon and then are buying Navas instead of giving Areola a chance (despite him being French and a PSG youth product)... should tell you all you need to know about him.

Suspect with the ball at his feet. Has poor instincts in any 50/50 ball.

I'm not a big Areola fan. Talented but lacks instinct.

What's with all the Bruno Fernandes talk ?
Is there any merit to it ?
I also don't know much about the guy aside youtube clips. Is he good ?

A week ago you were saying Navas would be a backup to Areola?

Areola has looked like shit in preseason and early games for PSG. No big mistakes... but he's not stopping any shots. Reminds me of Courtois lol.

Apparently, his agent has been pimping him to any and every big club that would respond to his whatsapp messages. Madrid is the latest "target" lol.

I'll take him tbh. We need midfielders...

Baffling

If I had to choose between him or Eriksen the obvious choice is Eriksen. Hell even Van de Beek is a better choice

Unless you want a CM and not a AM. We need players that help us transition from the defense to the attack... not guys who support our attack.

Not sure if it happens... but we need CMs.

Sports, I genuinely don't care at this point. We need midfielders that can run without getting injured.

Barca may slap PSG around when they meet in CL...  but PSG does slap Barca around in the transfer market lol.

I have a hard time enjoying PSG debacles as a OM fan since we suck so bad and Ligue 1 desperately needs PSG to do well...  but as a Madrid fan, i enjoy Barca looking foolish immensely.

Neymar is going to get cursed out by PSG fans (already has) for a while.  I hope his fragile little ego can handle it.  He's about to get the full treatment.

It's too late for deals to come through at this point i think

So Bruno Fernandes, a panick buy? Is he good enough to partner Casemiro and Kroos?

Van de Beek should've been the one.

Although, no idea if Bruno Fernandes is any good.

His agent is Mendes though, he has a reputation for overselling players to clubs.

I know these videos mean fuck all, however I do like his constat use of the roulette, Zidane used to do that move a lot.

He seems like a confident player, that likes to take players on, with a decent shot on him. We need a player like that.

He looks more like an AM to me then a CM, however at this point, I'll take anything. If he does come, lets just hope he ain't the next James.

when it comes to signing players, for real madrid especially, the worst thing to go by are youtube videos. yeah yeah i know you prefaced it with these videos don't matter, but everyone seems confident on youtube clips. i'm not dismissing him, as i know little to nothing about him. just dismissing youtube as a gauge for potential

the problem is not the youtube clips, it's the bogus rumours that are linking him to us lol. When Madrid want to sign a player they let their favorite journalists know. They have not done it in this case, instead it's Fiorentina's sporting director talking about it lol.

Bruno Fernandes is the Nico Gaitan of 2019, bogus signing announced in every club from Manchester to Madrid all summer because there is 0 interest and his agents want to move him for big money.

This is as unlikely as ever, looks fake as hell

i was going to ask, what does fiorentina's director have to do with this? when i first heard him talk i was like why is he the one talking about this? reminds me of when the president of some club in segunda, can't remember which, was saying guti was going to be hired as our coach, and certain "reputable" media outlets ran with that

So sad to see Navas leave. Probably the ONLY player we've sold that has left through the front door. PSG have a WC keeper on their hands and and even better person

Fiorentina were interested in a Sporting player called Raphina but then he commented that since Bruno is going to Madrid he is not on the market.

What's funny is that Raphina is going to Rennes today
