Definitely fishy. Although Ferguson will prove to be a good singing where ever he ends up going. My guess (and hope) is we are a couple of years away from sale.

Probably better for him Brighton and the team in question to wait a bit he's barely played. I just dont see barca in on him considering their going to blow their load on some Brazilian talent.
I had to look up if an Irishman ever played for Barca for poops and giggles. Turns out the great Patrick O'Connell did between 1935-40.
I gave it a go back in 90's but fat Al Secord was no match for fat Ronaldo.

Liverpool target free agent who ticks all the boxes to begin Klopp rebuild
Liverpool are in desperate need for reinforces following a rough season so far and Jurgen Klopp might have just found a free gem to add to his collection

Don’t think this is a guy than can play in a back 4 reliably, but as stated early LFC CB targets have a lot of left footers that play in back 5s

Rumors of Kovacic and Mount being of interest to Tuchel.
Mount one seems like an easy rumor, but the Kovacic one seems like the better fit.
Hasn’t really been much about whether or not Kova plans to extend this summer, but he too is expiring in 2024.

I wonder if the idea is to put Gundogan as a DM? If yes then Id take it. If not I dont see why he's brought in?

Not sure Kovacic is too much of a fit given Bayern will be adding Laimer to Kimmich, Goretzka, and Gravenberch, this summer.

I think they might try and okay Gavi and/or Pedri closer to goal for….reasons?
Rumors are City wants Kovacic as well. Not sure if Kovacic wants to stay at Chelsea. There were contract talks before the world cup but none since.

Xavi having too many Iniesta at LW flashbacks, but Iniesta was a unicorn
Hope not. I’d rather Casado get the minutes or Garrido if he’s promoted rather than sign Gundogan for Barca Athletic.

Vasilevskiy
The cat will be back
This makes sense, there was too much smoke about both.
This clause though, I don't like one bit that they're signing contracts fearing they might not register them.
Also, it is way too much people in the MF. Kessie and/or busquets have to be goners?

Not arguing whether he'd start or not, just whether Bayern is likely to pursue him...as he doesn't push Kimmich out of the starting 11, he's not the defender Laimer is, or the threat in the final third that Goretzka is, and given how much they love Gravenberch, I doubt they'd want to put Kovacic in his way as well.

Whoops lol, I definitely meant Marcel Sabitzer's NT colleague, Konrad Laimer, who will be joining Bayern from Leipzig this summer
Laimer will get some PT at RB/RWB, but he's primarily being brought in as a 6; giving them a defensive option next to Kimmich (Laimer), an offensive option (Goretzka/Musiala), and a more balanced option that they are grooming for the future (Gravenberch).
I'm a kovacic fan and my ego loves seeing him get love...he's one of the players I hyped a lot when he was first breaking through...so I'm not trying to undersell him and claim he wouldn't get real PT from FCB.
Just that they have little need for him unless Kimmich actually leaves, and they're likely to be frugal this summer so they're in a strong position to win the race for Wirtz next summer.

I was gonna say, you could get away with that with Iniesta. Granted you could use him as a ball playing CB and he’d still probably be good there.
The only problem with that train of thought is Laimer sucks and is nowhere near starter quality for a team like Bayern.
