🚨 BREAKING: #mufc have moved ahead of Real Madrid in the race to sign Leny Yoro. He is in negotiations with United about salary conditions. He's open to the move. [@Nabil_djellit] pic.twitter.com/8Ve95htsM1— The United Stand (@UnitedStandMUFC) July 16, 2024 Don't know much about the source, but apparently he has been close to the Yoro dealings to date.
Possible given Mendes is his agent. We weren't gonna throw money if it's an auction like with Pogba and Utd. Meanwhile reports that Arsenal and Calafiori move has stalled as Bologna insists on 50 ME.
Mbappe: “Vinicius told me to come.” Bellingham: “Vinicius messaged me.”Endrick: “I spoke to Vinicius.” The best agent in the world. https://t.co/3AMta6ixib— TC (@totalcristiano) July 16, 2024
Members in entourage. He isn't a superstar like 2022 Mbappe for such media drama. 🚨 JUST IN: Some members of Lenny Yoro's entourage are in favour of joining Manchester United.They are PUSHING now. No new bid from Real Madrid. @Santi_J_FM pic.twitter.com/U93XoSk8MI— Madrid Xtra (@MadridXtra) July 16, 2024
Yoro would be the perfect back-up to Rudiger and Militao, and would get plenty of minutes given the uncertainty around Alaba's recovery time. Calafiori on the other than will probably demand to start.
Really wish Marin didn't leave. I think Yoro is still 50/50 but imo I'm not going to be sad if he doesn't come. Just annoyed that its only Rudi, Militao and a still injured Alaba as our only CBs.
Given the crowded midfield situation, I’m guessing Carlo is going to count on Tchoumeni as the 3rd/4th option at CB this season. Assuming that Alaba comes back by November or so. Yoro is probably signing for United now, as they will throw whatever money is necessary to get it done. Mendes will push for the biggest payday.
Looks like Yoro might end up in Man U. We need Nacho replacement. Juni and JAS must finalise it. Alaba won’t be back soon. I really don’t want Vallejo
Real Madrid is getting concret with Trent Alexander-Arnold (25)❇️ Arnold has contract til 2025, no contract extension at Liverpool yet❇️ The Player is interested, there is contact since month— Christian Falk (@cfbayern) July 16, 2024 Hmmmm
🚨 Real Madrid knew they were Leny Yoro's favorite destination, so they felt in control, and only offered Lille €20M.Then, Manchester United came in and offered €60M, and despite the player not wanting to join them at first, are now pushing more and more for him.@Santi_J_FM pic.twitter.com/70E8RTDr6N— Madrid Zone (@theMadridZone) July 16, 2024 He'd have huge balls if be stayed beyond the season
🚨BREAKING: Real Madrid will make a new offer for Leny Yoro. @FabriceHawkins pic.twitter.com/K6Y3SojIFY— Madrid Zone (@theMadridZone) July 16, 2024 🚨 Real Madrid made an offer worth €20M + €10M in add-ons for Leny Yoro. Lille REJECTED it. Real Madrid will now ACCELERATE and make a new offer.@FabriceHawkins pic.twitter.com/hqSlzaiytq— Madrid Zone (@theMadridZone) July 16, 2024 We ain't done yet!
TAA is best friends with Bellingham and Mbappe and Hakimi are besties. Hakimi won't be allowed to leave PSG until his contract expires in 2026. Liverpool might sell TAA if he wants to leave given his contract situation like they did with Mane. But TAA is a regular starter there and Carva will be our starting RB next season. Would TAA be happy with rotational role though for short term.
Indeed imagine if we end up with Trent and Davies, two large holes in defence just to add to an attack where we already have so many attacking options right now we're not quite sure how they will all fit Tiny bit of context, no one likes Ferland much and no one thinks he is capable of attacking ( except me and one or two others) but even Ferland has turned TAA inside out at times, TAA has no clue off the ball, he doesn't know what to do, we can't go from the warrior on both sides of the ball that is Dani to this dud as a defender
Yes, you can do Davies or Trent, but you can't do both. Certainly not as starters. In a vacuum, Trent makes more sense to me, we have a greater need for a creative and attack-minded right back given that the right side of the attack isn't great overall, having a defensive-minded left back is perfectly fine given how much field tilt we have there to begin with and will even more-so next season have with Mbappé around. I don't expect Trent to leave Liverpool so it's a bit immaterial, and of course Carvajal just had his best season in years, maybe ever, so the need to phase him out a bit appears to have disappeared for a while to come. Even still, my interest in Davies is nonexistent at this point, worth it on a punt maybe but not for any discernible fee. What's your view on Hincapié?
🚨 NEW: Sources from Franco Mastantuono’s camp are confident that Real Madrid will make his signing the most expensive in Argentinian football history. @TheAthleticFC pic.twitter.com/oGPi0sbfrz— Madrid Xtra (@MadridXtra) July 16, 2024 🚨 NEW: Further developments with Alphonso Davies are expected now that the Copa América has ended. @TheAthleticFC pic.twitter.com/HZLXSHSi7x— Madrid Xtra (@MadridXtra) July 16, 2024 🚨 JUST IN: Jesús Vallejo has made it clear to Real Madrid that he intends to stay until his contract ends next year. Real Madrid will not force him out. @TheAthleticFC pic.twitter.com/gY0Q3QKSyB— Madrid Xtra (@MadridXtra) July 16, 2024
Or just wait until 2026 when Hakimi's contract expires? Happy with Carvajal and Lucas this season. Promote someone from Castilla if we need to. Good to get more Castilla players in the first team.
Hakimi will be put in the stands for 2025-26 like Rabiot and Cavani if he refuses to renew though. They couldn't do that with Mbappe because he's a superstar for France and they also needed him in CL I don't think Hakimi would want to go through that against a powerful state club given the legal troubles he already has in France. He will probably renew for a lot of money like Verratti did. Fortea is a highly rated RB. Think he will be playing for Castilla next season.
I don't think we'll sign Hakimi, but I also don't see him staying at PSG. At this point, players likely view a move to Saudi Arabia similarly; whether professionally (PSG) or personally (Saudi), they're sacrificing a lot for a paycheck -- nevermind the questions about actually getting paid in either scenario.
Italian media says PSG preparing 100 ME bid for Osimhen. Seems like PL clubs not interested in spending that kind of money on him. Conte said Kvara is staying but left the door open when asked about Osimhen's future. He also played in Ligue 1 already with Lille.
