Rumor: It just does not stop... - The Summer transfer thread

Jose confrms that United will be signing a replacement for Carrick in the summer.

For that particular position, the order of preference still remains: Fabinho, Weigl and Jorginho.
A genuine B2B is still a must though.

 

Jose makes Kroos his prime CM target.

As excellent an acquisition he would be, I just don't see it, unless Real are planning on directly replacing him somehow (which looks unlikely with the other needs they have).
Kovacic still appears to be the more likely CM guy to be moved on. But if there is any inkling of Kroos being in play, of course, United need to pounce as he'd make a perfect compliment to Pogba.

 

Sergej is a great talent, with a big future potentially. But he still hasn't done much over an extended period, if we're being real about things.
In this crazy market, he's should be worth €80-90mil tops. With big money clubs possibly trying to outbid each other, it could go to 100. But it's really as far as it should go.

 

Chelsea and United to battle for Lewandowski?

Odd report (especially coming from Skysports), even more so when Jose has clearly established that the club is done with any type of forwards for the time being.
Not to mention that if Lewa is really on the move this summer, hard not to imagine him being anywhere but Madrid bound.

 

There's no doubt that Kane would be Real's preferred target, but not only Spurs and Levy will make negotiations hard, but Kane himself will give it every opportunity to help his club attain success.
Real will give it a go one last time after the season, with a crazy offer. And when that will be rejected, they'll go for Lewa. He's 29 already but they should expect to get at least 2 solid seasons from him.

 

The deal between between Atalanta and Milan is: they take him on loan for 2 seasons, then they are under obligation to buy him then.
Guessing it was done that way for FFP purposes (due to all the other players they ad already bought then).
Suppose there's always a way to strike some type of deal with Milan when they have to buy, but that would appear unlikely, unfortunately.
