Transfer Rumours transfer thread fact and fiction

Weird move indeed. Similar to Oduwa leaving to join that Slovenian side last season.

 

Did the double, though.

 

OP Updated you annoying mofo

 

Rabiot Watch
Sources in Italy(?) are suggesting that PSG have set out their stall at any offer worth of €50m. Somehow not a single blog has suggested a Rabiot-for-Alderweireld swap deal that would tick every single box possible...

Random Roundup

FootMercato are linking us with a €25m bid for Nice striker Assana Plea, which brings to mind two thoughts
1.) We're linked with a Nice player who isn't Jean Michael Seri because...?
2.) Plea does strike me as a Anthony Martial substitute as he's primarily a striker but can operate on the left wing, coupled with some blistering pace to run onto through balls

Bild, meanwhile, are linking us with Ante Rebic - even though that is the least Levyish transfer deal imaginable, considering Eintracht Frankfurt have activated the clause to make his loan from Fiorentina permanent and he officially becomes a Frankfurt player on July 1st.

 

Suggestions that we might be in discussions for the sale of GKN to Fenerbahce. The suggested fee is £6.1m, which if true, shows how his value his fallen. Apparently, we're earning £4m+ for loaning out Vinie for a season and his social media skills are **** in comparison.

 

Wake me up when Danny Murphys gone - Nigeria the better of 2 average teams -Moses is still a diving..........

 

Kovacic Watch
"I know that it's difficult to be a starter at Real Madrid, especially when I arrived at a really young age. I understand the situation, but because of that I believe the best thing for me would be to go to another club where I'd have the opportunity to play regularly as a starter. I think I can have this opportunity and it's one I want right now...I have been at Real Madrid for three years and haven't played too much, something which has affected my status with the national team. This is something I'm not happy about. That's why the best thing would be to change team." - Kovacic, to Marca

 

My daughter's told me not to post on transfer threads.
Buying and selling people is modern slavery.

 

No, that's slave trading. Owning people is modern slavery. And ancient slavery, too.

 

What Jose does to Man Utd attacking players that
he signs, is banned under the UN human rights convention.

 

Barrios has played well tonight

 

I’ve barely noticed him. Probably because their forward players have been very very good.
Quintero impressed me the most. He’s been superb tonight.

 

He is well down the Madrid MF pecking order, but I
guess they would wait for the dust to settle on a potential
internal "domino effect" if Bale does leave, before
agreeing to his sale.

A fair bit of chat too about his alleged current wages at
Madrid, and therefore easily accommodated by the Spurs
wage structure.

This one could happen if Pochettino wants him, providing
Levy does not think this is VDV mk 2 in terms of getting a
low transfer fee.

 

"Hmmm..." Watch
FootMercato are linking us with Santos U23's French defender Junior Kingue - a player so obscure that Danny Rosing his name only reveals the churnalised articles reporting that FootMercato are reporting that we're looking at Santos U23's French defender Junior Kingue.

 

Ole (yes, that's a real site, based in Argentina) are reporting that we're interested in Juan Fernando Quintero - you know, that Columbian attacking midfielder whose value has gone through the roof in the tournament so far, which is exactly what Porto are hoping for considering they've been loaning him out for the past couple of seasons...

Meanwhile, bastion of fact and truth TurkishFootball are reporting that we're about to be on Fenerbahce's hit list thanks to Vincent Janssen's agent offering his client to...Galatasaray.

 

De Ligt Watch
CalcioMercato are reporting he's agreed personal terms with Juventus

So...Pavard?

 

Is this a “good times” goodbye, or a “good times” to continue? Hmmm...

 

I see Son is now being linked to Man Utd with suggestions that he would be swapped for Martial. I'm not sure what to think about that tbh. With the military service thing it sounds a reasonable deal but I'm not convinced Martial is a better player.
