Transfer: 2023 Summer Transfer Window - Open Window Edition

[Scandale du Jour]

Tebas:

“One thing is what the clubs pay the players and then, depending on the cases, there are internal valuations at La Liga that adapts these figures to market prices. We have valued Joao Felix’s contract at much more than what Barca pays.”

So Tebas himself has said that we’re only paying 400k this season for Felix, but the league is counting it against us at a much higher figure. I’m guessing over 10 million. This is the bullshit we’re dealing with and I highly doubt this is happening with any other players.

This is incredibly dumb.

Interesting.

I imagine it's something like Arsenal had with Fabregas. If Bayern decides to sell Kane, Tottenham gets 1st option at him.

Saw from a Brighton account that United put a 50 million offer in on Ferguson this summer. Lol

Brighton will get at least triple that

Yeah they laughed off the offer.

What does it say?

Can you actually not understand it or are joking/being difficult?

Arsenal now working on long-term deals for Zinchenko and White.

[Corto]

Good, maybe now they can go back to playing him.
He's been absent from the roster til they were sure the sale goes through, avoiding injuries etc.

Club has confirmed the deal now. Contract until 2030, will join 2025.

That dude is not 16. No chance.

Funnily enough his brother who plays for Hamburg is suspended for doping.

I'm not saying he's doping, I'm saying he obviously lied on his birth certificate and he's 22

When this came up last week, the German reports said it was for a conditional fee, the lowest of which would still net Bayern a profit.

*shrug* I have pretty much looked the same since I was 14...I've added & lost weight, changed my hair, got a tattoo, and my beard is less patchy, but otherwise I look the same.

He looks like Sidney Crosby.

Also a good player if he can get his career back on track.

I think they might do 25m.
But honestly, if Micky van de Ven goes for 50m, Sutalo should be going for 80,
I get that scouts are careful with players from the Croatian league, but mostly these guys work out - especially if going to Germany first (lately France too).

Ivanusec is also gonna go for 8-10m, which is dirt cheap for him.

Well, so far the price for van der Ven seems more than justified, whereas Sutalo has been the worst player on the current second to last team in the Eredivisie.

Yes, Van de Ven has been amazing. I had my doubts when he was signed, seemed like an overpay, but now it's looking like a steal.

You're not wrong.
Sutalo looks absolutely shell shocked. Even for the national team you could see something was "off".
He didn't play in the 2nd game vs Wales. He looks like a shadow of himself, honestly no idea what's happening with him.
There're some rumors he's basically battling depression, doesn't know Dutch or English (basic english is sort of "the norm" in Croatia), etc etc.
But really it's all conjecture, all we know is that he's been struggling a LOT since moving to Amsterdam.

I've been really very impressed by him. Not often that a centre back hits the ground running in the Premier League, but he really has.

Van de Ven and Romero a new Vertonghen-Alderweireld for the foreseeable future? It's more likely than you think

Very happy to have the two of them as our main centre-halves for the foreseeable future. Do wish Spurs would sign a strong 3rd option too however. Someone who can fill in for both on either side when needed. Right now Eric Dier is right behind them in the pecking order.

It tends to go better for CBs making the step down from the BuLi; VdV, Akanji, Konate, etc.
