This shouldn't be a surprise. Madrid have a gone job of getting rid of some aging players and thus offloading some big contracts. You might argue they could have kept Casemiro around, but again that was pretty clearly a financial move.

The 2 best clubs at having no sentimental burding in making their business decisions are Real Madrid and Man City.
Even when you are a legend or a good servant, they will cash in and rebuild again.
Well I'm no supporter of either, primarily and especially the former, but I think that happens with other clubs as well. I mean you could say the same with Barça and Messi, though that would ignoring precedent and context.
Specifically regarding Asensio, to be fair to Madrid, they honored his contract he's literally leaving upon it's expiration. Additionally, they seemingly have offered him a new contract.
Then you have the player's side of it too where in the case of Asensio, unless someone wants to argue it, they're very well compensated.
Now, will someone please take a screenshot of this so I can get credit for not sticking to it Madrid for no good reason and so I don't get falsely labeled in the future? @Scandale du Jour @Power Man ?
f***ing Madrid.

Some chelsea side sources saying we’ve matched the proposal, but with slightly lesser salary terms
The reporting is odd. Apparently Ugarte didn’t make the shortlist for our 6/8 targets initially, but Pochettino wants a defensive minded midfielder as priority over one whose primary strength is ball playing. Pochettino recommended + Mendes offered him and Chelsea proceeded to re-scout and make an offer.
Dysfunctional process.

The only player from LFC core I feel they could let go is Nunez but I don't expect it to happen.
Outcast from the 1st team like Matip, Gomez, Tsimikas have more chances to happen.

After years of having a 'lol' at that every time I would play them in FM, I was disappointed to discover he is actually from Hamburg. False advertising IMO.

Where did you see that? I can’t imagine we would loan him back given our desperate need for a defensive midfielder.
RMCsport, which is pretty reliable (but relying partially on portugese press).
Mercato: Chelsea pourrait doubler le PSG sur Ugarte, assure la presse portugaise
Proche de signer au PSG, Manuel Ugarte pourrait faire l'objet d'une manoeuvre agressive de Chelsea, qui souhaiterait chiper le milieu du Sporting Lisbonne selon la presse lusitanienne. Son entraîneur Ruben Amorim a confirmé l'intérêt de "plusieurs clubs" pour le joueur de 22 ans.

I feel like the more likely outcome would be a loan of Andrey Santos or Cesare Casadei, if anything.RMCsport, which is pretty reliable (but relying partially on portugese press).

Casadei impressed at Reading in the championship.
Joe Shields has been frequenting Lavia, Ugarte, and Caicedo’s social medias. It’s kind of funny.

Spurs apparently targeting Fulham loanee Manor Solomon who is available on a free after FIFA ruled he can sign with anyone following his release from Shaktar. Solomon hasn't decided to leave Fulham, but he is free to go anywhere.
I don't know if he should stay at Fulham, but he definitely shouldn't go to Tottenham. And why would he go sign somewhere without a manager in place? For all he knows, the guy they bring in won't be on board. And for that matter, why is Tottenham targeting anyone before they make a coaching hire?

He needs to realize that he can become All Elite if he stays at Fulham.
It was a tough year for him, but I agree he has tons of untapped potential. Silva seems married to guys like Decordova-Reid and Harry Wilson, so moving on might not be the worst move if he finds the right situation.

Wijndal is a high quality player.
Hopefully, he'll rebound and show you his colors.
