Transfer Thread 2022/23

[LDNMagic90]

So like I said Mane is likely to move to Bayern, some places are reporting it... He has said in the media he'll decide after the Champions League final but I think it's pretty much all agreed. Liverpool are doing succession planning with most of their core.

More news:

Bayern want to sell Gnabry rather than let him go for free.
Bayern want Zielenski
Clubs in the prem want Levi Colwill from Chelsea (what a player by the way)
West Ham and Everton are interested in Maxwell Cornet
Zlatan is unlikely to retire

Leicester want Levi Colwill. what chance they get him?
Cornet is a good little player. I wanted him last year at Leicester when his French team were in financial problems. Saying West Ham and Everton want someone is pointless - they want everyone.
Zlatan is out for 8 months which means he can return refreshed for the end of year trophy push.

It’s very true about West Ham and Everton wanting everyone loool they are always linked with moves.

I could see Leicester being interested in Colwill played really well this season, plus he fits with your younger players (Justin, Fofana etc)

I wouldn’t be surprised if Leicester try to secure Cornet as well

So after saying how busy Tottenham will be…

They are after Kostic, Bastoni, Bissouma, Gvardiol and Bremer.

Gvardiol and Bissouma is liked by Chelsea as well

City have supposedly submitted a bid for Kalvin Phillips

Chelsea I’ve heard are speaking to Gimenez

I've read that Kostic is our backup option in case we fail to get Perisic. All signs seem to be pointing to Perisic coming to Spurs on a free, which is really cool news if it happens. He's getting on a bit now but he's a wonderful player, hugely experienced and can play LWB.

Gvardiol is staying at Leipzig for another season.

Perisic is going Spurs.

Chelsea apparently really want Nkunku and feel confidently they can lock in Dembele on a free.

Kostic isn‘t going to swap the Champions League with Frankfurt for Champions League with Tottenham I would guess…

If he can remain a legend in Frankfurt, why go to Tottenham? Would have to be someone who is competing for the league title for him to swap teams I guess.

Perisic is getting old no?

Premier League money. It's that simple.

I can't really speak on Kostic's motivations, but it looks to be irrelevant anyway as I don't think he's coming to Spurs with Perisic confirmed to be on his way.

I like the Perisic signing. You're right that he's getting old but he's a crafty and intelligent player who always shows up in big games, plus Conte has gotten good results out of him as a left wingback in the past, which is a position of weakness for Spurs. He's coming off one of the best seasons of his career, too. It's a two-year contract, and while the wages are reported to be fairly high, I don't see it as a big risk signing for the attributes he'll bring, and his tutelage will hopefully help the development of Sessegnon.

Whether he can adapt to the PL is a question mark, but I think ballers like Perisic can ball wherever they go.

[LDNMagic90]

It's a bit quiet on the transfer front so far, there's conversations happening probably.

From what I've seen/heard:

Villa supposedly had a bid rejected for Koulibaly - 30 mill euros.
Mane said his goodbyes on the weekend, but Liverpool and Bayern are thrashing out a deal. Liverpool want more than 30 mill euros for him.
Bastoni may want to stay in Italy, but Spurs are pushing to convince him.
Teams will wait for Rice to run his contract down - He has 2 years + 1 as an option left - West Ham will look to sell maybe next season.
Perisic is currently here in London to finalise his deal with Spurs.
Man Utds priority is to sign Darwin Nunez, Timber and De Jong - Latter one is harder to convince with no Champions League, but the Ajax connection will come in handy if De Jong were to leave.

It's Monday and we have the Nations League starting this week, most teams are on their holidays or joining up with their countries for the Nations League. With that said I don't expect a lot of movement this week (I say this and I bet there's a flurry of transfer activity

[LDNMagic90]

Ok some things I've heard at work...

Chelsea and Dembele have discussed a transfer - this is looking promising
Chelsea have also enquired about Bissouma - Brighton have a bidding war happening.
Atletico Madrid may sign Clauss from Lens
Liverpool are turning their attention to Sangare after Tchouameni deciding on leaving for Real Madrid
Djed Spence is likely to stay at Nottingham Forest - Bayern pulled out from the deal after securing Mazraoui

[LDNMagic90]

Lewandowski has officially announced he is leaving Barca
Barca are struggling to add Kessie and Christensen to their books because of their financial situation (I don't feel sorry for Barca by the way)
Barca will sell some more players soon probably - perfect for a lot of teams looking to get a decent player for a smaller price
Chelsea are interested in Hakimi - this would allow James to maybe move to CB
Sevilla making it hard for Chelsea with Kounde, they want more money after selling Diego Carlos to Villa

[The_Brecht]

I'll add some rumours to the mix:

Juventus want Jorginho.
Gavi could leave Barcelona for Liverpool.
Bergwijn could go to Ajax.
Arsenal target Jesus and Zinchenko.
Newcastle want Diaby form Leverkussen.
Cornet is wanted by West Ham and Wolves.
Chelsea and Man City are interested in Cucurella.
Everton and West Ham want Jack Harrisson from Leeds.
Adam Hlozek can go to Leverkussen.
LAzio want Minamino.
Inter are looking into Dybala and Lukaku.
Liverpool want Dembele as Mane replacement.
Leicester want James Garner form Man Utd who was loaned out at Nottingham Forrest.
Benfica want Leno.
Bayern are looking to pay 15M for 16 year old Anderlecht winger Julian Duranville.

[magik9113]

After losing Dybala, if pogba doesn’t come back I will cry

If Pogba goes back you might cry too.

He was never great at United from day 1

Center mids going from serie A to epl never work out. Maybe it won’t work out for us but I definitely think it’s worth a try and I’m very excited for it

[LDNMagic90]

Hey guys, I had a hectic day so I couldn't give you morning updates...

So here's what I have heard so far...

Dembele has verbally agreed to join Chelsea however PSG are going to try and hijack the deal. Reports in Paris say otherwise, but at work we got info to say otherwise.
Dortmund, Leipzig and Eintracht Frankfurt are keeping tabs on Ronnie Edwards(highly rated) from Petersborough
Laimer may go to Bayern
Despite reports, Gnabry has no offers from other clubs. The latest is that Bayern have offered him a new deal that matches Sane's.
Tchouameni is close to joining Real Madrid just like the reports its around 80-100m euros
Djed Spence is likely to sign perm for Nottingham Forest from Middlesborough - Tottenham have been keeping tabs on him but he wants regular game time.
Bernardo Silva would want to play at Barca soon
Roma want Aaron Wan-Bissaka
Lukaku wants to go back to Inter however it is a very complicated deal
The Richarlison sweepstakes will heat up soon he has changed agency gearing for a move

[LDNMagic90]

Oh and ummm Arsenal have had convos with Tielemans reps the deal will be around 25-30 mill two other clubs (trying to find out who from work) are interested I think one is anothe Prem club.

Haha I’ll try just for you, if I made a guess on the teams I’ll think it’s 2 out of Man Utd, Spurs, West Ham, Newcastle or Villa

This I don't get at all.

Chelsea attacker tabs I keep reportedly seeing: Nkunku, Jonathan David, Raheem Sterling, Darwin Nunez...

(yuck)

A gifted baller like Gnabry is even remotely available, I don't know how multiple teams aren't all over that. Sane too. I'm sure Arsenal would be, but it's hard to get players of that caliber without having CL football to offer.

Nunez and David especially are absolutely horrid. And this is after scouting Timo Werner and breaking spending records and dropping 100M's on Lakaka.

Chelsea won't ever escape top 4 struggle tier until they get a DOF in the ilk of a Marc Overmars or Luís Campos. The Marina Granovskaia / Bruce Buck experiment has been exhausting.

It’s weird with Gnabry because I really thought there would be more teams after him same with Sane, but Sane is on quite a high wage so his pool of available teams is small.

I thought Marina was doing well at first, but I’m not sure right now. She’s good at selling players and maximising their value to be fair.

Newcastle music.

Mané departure has absolutely sent an internal shockwave.

[Shaazzam]

lol, i really like Salah

Liverpool will be fine in the grand scheme of things, they are quite good at succession rebuilding recently. Swapping Diaz for Mane is fine, Diaz is a good player maybe not Mane level but has the potential to be as good or better. Jota for Firmino is good, Jota is arguably a better finisher than Firmino, Firmino probably works a bit more than Jota.

Salah will be the hard part, I do see them spending big on a player theres a lot of noise where I work and around the league that Liverpool will try to land a big signing either this summer or by next year
