Transfer: 2024 Summer Transfer Window - Open Window Discussion

[luiginb]

Man with the most impressive beard in top leagues, Asier Villalibre, has left Athletic Bilbao for Alaves (was already on loan there in 22/23).

Great trumpet player too!

He's what you'd call a defensive forward, little skill but lots of heart and hustle.

 

[Savant]

I’ve always liked Simakan, but especially under the new regime, this is simply not to the French CB at Leipzig that they should be looking at

 

[Eye of Ra]

[VI] Lille have made a bid for Ajax midfielder Branco van den Boomen (28). Ajax wants over 6 million Euros. Personal terms won’t be a problem.

[Mike Verweij] Two Saudi clubs are concrete for Steven Bergwijn, Marseille and West ham also interested. Ajax wants between 25 and 30 million Euros

 

[Evilo]

Lyon are trying to hijack Mikautadze's transfer to Monaco. Medical was scheduled.
Remember Lyon is his childhood team, where he went through the academy.

Also keep in mind Ajax barely played him and deemed him not good enough. Fun times.

Supposedly tier 1 for Lille:

Manchester United insiste pour Leny Yoro (LOSC), mais le Real Madrid n’est pas son seul véritable adversaire

Manchester United, dont les arguments sont séduisants pour le LOSC, fait de Leny Yoro sa priorité cet été. Selon nos informations, même avec l’appui de Jorge Mendes, le Real Madrid pourrait perdre le fil d’un dossier qu’il menait jusqu’ici de la tête et des épaules. Son départ de Lille ne fait...

Also, according to Le Parisien:

As per the reports in French papers, despite having an offer already accepted by Lille, United are ready to raise their offer for Yoro to €60m (£50.4m) to put him way beyond Real’s reach and in order for the French side to turn the screw on the player and get him to accept the move to Old Trafford.

Furthermore, Le Parisien states that Ratcliffe will task the player’s agent, Jorge Mendes, with convincing the player of the merits of moving to Old Trafford, having already moved a number of his clients to United over the years.

Possibly decision coming this week(?):

Looks Like United waiting on Yoro decision with this one:

Denial is the first stage of grief.

 

[Jussi]

Denial is the first stage of grief.

Just pointing out conflicting reports like minutes apart from each other.

And to be honest, he's overrated anyway. Didn't even make the Yoros.

 

[Savant]

I mean I am sure Lille would rather sell him to United for more money. Not really sure how much that matters to Yoro

 

[S E P H]

Bayern going after Xavi Simons, but if that doesn't work, they are going after Olmo.

Lunin is staying at Real Madrid

SA going after Ederson

Aouar joining SA oil money team

The best striker in the world joining Al Qadsiah

Arsenal rejected bids for ESR from Fulham and Crystal Palace.

Arsenal had Sesko as their first priority, but since they lost out on him, getting a striker is now a secondary issue except if a player becomes available.

Zinchenko and Kiwior could both be sold when Arsenal finalises the Calafiori deal.

 

[luiginb]

Demirovic to Stuttgart for 21 mil. A bit rich for my taste, and probably also means one of Guirassy and Undav is gone.

 

[mfilipo3]

How was Undav best used for stuttgart this year? I didn’t have a chance to watch him much but his stat lines are impressive. He seemed to be very versatile at Brighton

Yea their only leverage would be to say that they’re not going to accept Madrid’s bid unless they up it and he can either accept United or stay for another year.

I can’t see them doing that though.

central striker/second forward, a little lower than Guirassy. Not only his stats but his link up play were superb, he'd have been my first choice at striker for Germany at the Euros.

Did I hear right?
Did Mbappe read a Garcia Lorca poem at Real's presentation?
Does he see the disgusting irony?
Claiming a poem in a symbol of what killed the poet?
Or did he just know THAT Spanish poet and didn't connect the dots?

As a huge GL admirer, it gets me sick.

Also I think Yoro might just be okay staying, playing every minute and breaking into the national team. Another season at Lille doesn’t hurt him at all

Rumors of Enzo's future at Chelsea in doubt after a disappointing year and the racist chants against the French players.

What a nice kid. And what a bunch of nice guys, who could've known.

I'm sure nothing will happen, but it'll be hilarious to listen to news from their training camp considering Chelsea had 7 or 8 black French players.
