Mendes been busy this summer

This means we'll get Kepa back. Fml

Not sure who is Chelsea main keeper at the moment but whomever he is, Lunin is better.

Good signing if it turns out true.

Kepa is rejecting BIG MONEY for Real Madrid. He wants to return even as a backup goalkeeper. @FabrizioRomano pic.twitter.com/xVslx8lwzK

No suprirse he wants to statpad a bunch of trophies lol. But must say he's a great professional last season. Not the one that disrespected Sarri

O Barca want to sell Roque half a season after they got him what was the purpose of that purchase? They have screwed this guys career up.

They should leave the Brazilian teenager niche to Florentino

Why didnt Real keep Lunin, was amazing last season...

Roque have no idea wtf is going... perhaps was just another money laundering move?

Lunin wants to leave to be a starter which he won't be at least for a couple to 3 seasons and he doesn't have that patience especially after last season. He deserves to go and start somewhere. He's unlucky he has Tibu ahead of him.

It's absolutely mad how they went there to supposedly buy the superior player to Endrick only to discard him without giving him a chance.

Ineos moving like pros

Psg are asking for 70 mil. They basically want to cast him off and still want a profit. Probably want to fund their Neves deal. Should tell them to fk off if that is the case. There must be plenty of pure destroyers who are better than Casemiro who we can get for under 50.

In other news though, Yoro looks mint. Is he actually 18.

I dont understand the recent reports, they are saying that the ball moves too fast and he cant keep up lmfao, sounds like they're trying to justify his sale/loan

But he was pretty good in the games that he played. Its kinda weird.

Barca cannot afford Nico at the moment. Need to raise the 58ME required to get him

AS is not a reliable source. Even if they have to take out a loan, they've already positioned themselves to activate the clause soon and are waiting for Nico's move. More credible sources are saying it should be finalized within next week

The issue is with Olmo whom they want to sign as well and for whom the funds need to be found somewhere, now there a sale would probably be needed.

Is Olmo legit or just another one of those who has a lucky decent tourney n then returns to shit for club? Cos we definitely dont lack AM, we lack LW n DM mainly?

Olmo strikes me as a system player, needs a lot of good players around him to tick

Havent seen a lot of Olmo outside of NT tbh. He seems pretty good but injury-prone which is a big issue. I dont think the financial effort is worth it because of his injury record but I'd probably prefer him over Simons

He was great against us in the CL tbh but so was Mudryk and he's been a total bust for Chelsea so far

I watched Olmo fairly often two seasons ago. My impression of him at the time was that he showed that he was capable of brilliant moments, but he didn’t stand out or impress very often throughout the entire season.

He clearly has some talent in him, but if he’s upped his consistency over the past year or so, that’s news to me. International football has a tendency to be quite misleading, in terms of being able to gauge what players are capable of at the club level.

It's not just international performances, Barça maintains an interest in Masia graduates regardless of whether they're truly elite or if they're even needed. Olmo was going to be wanted by Barça the moment he emerged as a decent player on the world stage

I wanna believe this trend (probably) started with Gerard Lopez.

To the younger ones reading and watching, Gerard Lopez was sold to Valencia for a rather humble amount. He then was loaned out, came back and had a really nice season (singular season mind you) at Valencia. Barcelona re-signed him for about 21 million euros which he contributed all but nothing during his 4-5 years at the club. This was back in 1999-2000 season I think.

That was definitely the era when "Masia privilege" led to certain mediocre players being shoehorned into the team. Players like Gerard and Oleguer would not have started for any top team back then.

This here we go is gonna hit like crack cocaine

Barcelona are increasingly confident to get final green light from Nico Williams to contract terms.

Club now confident about having convinced Nico about the project, with La Liga approval for Finacial Fair Play as key step.

More contacts to follow this week. pic.twitter.com/sUVIjpSXY5

Deadline date is like 30 Aug... so this might go on for at least a month?

They want to wrap it up by the end of this month because Nico doesn’t want to wait too long either

Should be this week insh allah

Hope some English club steps in and hijacks the deal.
