Day 160 of Quarantine: We've Settled for Keeping Bale - The Summer Transfer Thread

Dortmund won't sell Haaland in 2021 as his clause is in effect only in 2022. They will make plenty of money selling Sancho next summer. Won't even be surprised if they double Haaland's salary to get the clause to 100 ME in 2022. Their CEO already confirmed they want to renew him and there's no clause in 2021.

 

All the big clubs will be after him, can't see him renewing.

 

Agreed. I feel like we've had a long term understanding with Mbappe he would come toward the end of his contract. I'd prefer Haaland as a goal scoring machine 9 is much much rarer than a great winger. Love his attitude as well. Hope there is any chance we can get both

 

I don't see why we wouldn't be able to get both if the idea is Mbappe is playing out wide.

If the idea is that Mbappe wants to be the CF then that isn't possible.

The issue here is if Mbappe wants to be that can he even adapt to it? Couple years ago I believed he could. Now? Not so much.

 

Same. Thought he'd transition into a 9 but he's going to be a goal scoring winger/forward. Maybe he still can but thats what he is now

 

I'd like to add that we should look to extend Modric and Lucas as we are extending Sergio. Both are solid options and show up big when called upon.

 

Sky Germany speculates that there could be Eriksen Isco swap in January.

 

Meh save money on that wage and put it towards Camavinga.

 

Swapping Isco for Eriksen is a marginal upgrade at best. We already have Kroos, Modric and Odegaard, who are better than Eriksen. Doubt he will come here to be 4th choice CM.

 

Doesn't even make sense for Inter, they don't play Eriksen because he doesn't work hard enough, Isco is who they replace him with?

 

If we are willing to match the offers financially, maybe Odegaard can help recruit Haaland in 2022. I hope they are close NT teammates like Courtois and Hazard. Mendy and Mbappe seem close too.

 

When you read things like this you start to wonder if we’re able to afford to sign any of our targets next summer.

In a normal situation, Real Madrid would have already renewed @Lucasvazquez91's contract. But with the pandemic around it's difficult for the club to offer him a new contract. Lucas is very likely to depart the club. [@abc_deportes] pic.twitter.com/A3bTefuQOH

Lol, the club using Covid as an excuse not to extend Lucas. I mean there' are "other" reasons not to extend him and the player might be willing to take a pay cut to stay. Also, it looks like Lucas earns more than Casemiro, Valverde and Odegaard.

 

We can afford to sign Vazquez, it's a matter of priorities and the club will allocate that money elsewhere. I'm more concerned about what happens with Nacho.

 

Is this before or after foreign tax is applied? Either way Valverde brutally sold himself short, 1.5-3ME per season until 2025 is Scottie Pippen levels of bargain.

Odegaard is on an older contract so that seems about right, he'll be due for a raise this summer.

 

Soon

 

******** me sideways.

 

Lemme change my undies

 

Atleast 75-80% of the players need to GTHO,the medioctiry at this club is beyond believe .

 

Buy Camavinga in January. Rennes won’t even make Europa league out of the groups and they’re falling in the league table.

Flo must act.

 

will never happen.

 

We won’t sign anyone, let’s be realistic here. We actually need a terrible season for Flo to splash major cash. Imo we need another midfielder plus Camavinga. Isco is gone and I don’t trust Kroos, Modric and Casemiro atm. Only midfielder I am 100% on is Valverde. Ødegaard right behind him.
