Writer who covers Barca on Marca says Bayern have set a minimum price of 50 M for Lewa while Barca were hoping for 40 M deal. Also sale will depend on Bayern getting adequate replacements.
If we do land him at such a price, Tchouameni is starting on Opening Day of La Liga. I wonder who goes to the bench first from KCM. Fede should be starting as well
Real Madrid loves french player . Tchouameni is an amazing recruit, certainly the best to replace Casemiro at the moment. Hope he'll play because France needs him at the world cup
Next year Kroos will play way less I think. He was already the one benched often. And Casemiro will share the season with tchouameni. And as you know, there's always injurys, I think it's not too much to have 6 midfielders when you have 2 who are already 35 I truly think that real Madrid already made 50% of their market now. Just need to get rid of Jovic and Mariano + finding a way out for Ceballos (won't be complicated) and Asensio even if I think it's maybe too soon to push him out, he's the only decent player on the right wing
As for Tchumeni acquisition, Madrid will sell Ceballos. We will earn some money for him. Also Isco leaving which his salary remove. I will give RBL Jovic which he proven Stryker in the bundes league + money for Nkouku. It’s a good deal for both sides. The last season Jovic played for Frankfurt before his moved to Madrid, he scored 27 goals for them. And he young.
You can't sign them all on a free or for a cut-price deal. He's only 22, with so many years ahead of him, a complete central midfielder from a profile perspective and will only improve. If you amortise his transfer fee over a long time period, assuming he'll play for us for many seasons, it's not a crippling fee by any means.

I don't think you get rid of Ceballos if you're losing Kroos and maybe Modric in a year. Like others have said, the future three midfielders aren't destroyers and can create but you might need a different piece that you can put in there to shake things up.
How Ceballos could stay next year with Tchouameni coming, Camavinga and Valverde having Ancelotti's preference, Hazard always in the equation... Ceballos has to leave, maybe a loan could be a solution, but his talent is really misused
I don’t think people are seeing why this transfer is absolutely necessary. We literally have no cover for Casemiro unless you slot Fede or Cama in there which takes away from their best qualities. And this will let Camavinga play in that natural B2B role that I think he can thrive in. Also seems like a slap in the face to Mbappe and PSG who were dying to get this kid.
RW and RB and will be a good summer...if not RW , Nkunku probably will not available , Salah will not come so Gnabry? its ok. but what about RB?
Agreed; people overlook the importance of a pure DM like Kante, Casemiro, etc. We've signed one of the highest rated midfielders of this current generation. I'm really excited.
Of course M'bappe is a really good player but Madrid had already Vinicius and Rodrygo who are very good on the left wing. I don't think that Mbappe was the good choice to replace Benzema. But Tchouameni was really important for both clubs, PSG who can't have Verratti all the season because of frequent injurys and also because other midfielders are pretty bad. Madrid has old players and when Ancelotti needed to bench Casemiro it was always pretty complicated. It was for me more important than Mbappe but we won't talk as much (thank god)about it
With respect to RB, we’re already 3-deep at that position, and it seems like the Vinicius Tobias deal has been/will be made permanent? I don’t think we’re signing another RB.
Or they call up PSG and they give them what they want. If you believe the player is going to be a star, what’s an extra 10 or 15M amortized over the life of the deal?
Bellingham was basically on par with Mbappe on my wish list but I’ve always assumed he’d head back to England. Maybe I’m wrong. But Tchouameni’s profile is fairly different too isn’t it?
Tchouameni rejected the Ligue 1 oil club. But English version is not a joke so I don't expect Bellingham to reject them.
Nah, we are getting one or the other. This isn't FIFA. Florentino isn't paying big two summers in a row for midfielders and we have three young starters when we finalize Tchouameni. This is bittersweet for me because Bellingham is going to be super special. It's like having a chance to get Modric and getting Kante instead
