His numbers are better than Kolo Muani's, but it's still not the type of signing I'd expect from a club like Juventus.

🚨🚨| JUST IN: Juventus have opened talks with Tottenham over a move for Richarlison, available for €𝟐𝟎-𝟐𝟓𝐌. 👀🇧🇷

Kolo Muani remains Juve's priority, but Richarlison has emerged as an alternative option.

🚨 JUST IN: Chelsea have been told Rayo Vallecano will not sell full-back Pep Chavarria unless his release clause, now worth £42.4m, is met.

The Blues initially felt they had encouragement to pursue a deal but saw an opening £15m bid rejected.

They have then since indicated…

Good for Rayo. EPL clubs are buying bang average players between them for no less then £50m so they can pay up for talent from Spain

Absolute chaos in the UEFA Conference League qualifier between Malta’s Hamrun and NSI of the Faroe Islands.

Hamrun were convinced the ball had gone out for a goal kick, so they picked it up.

Referee awarded a 91st-minute penalty.

Hamrun lost 2-1 and 3-2 on agg.

Incredible. pic.twitter.com/xSMFPOL9Zm

City never failed to qualify for CL in 10 seasons unde Pep. United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Pool have had down years missing out on CL football in last 10 years.

Villa has also emerged as Top 5 contender in last few years. Wonder if City will lose that kind of consistency with Pep gone.

 

very good player

 

£117m, F**K

Oh my days

 

That’s about 138 million euro, absolutely insane fee

 

Doubt it. Barca needs a striker to replace Lewa which will cost a lot. Their 3rd CB situation is weak. Jong comes back in November.

 

Just bizarre that we seemingly aren't even interested in what is basically current Spain's best and most influential midfielder. What makes this more inexplicable is that he is exactly the player that our midfield needs. Mad!

 

Lovely, thank you very much Chelsea, we only paid £15m for him 2 years ago LOL

I guess that's just the market now for players. Stay out of the firestorm for transfer fees or simply get sucked up into it.

Will Chelsea now have to sell a big name player as a consequence, Enzo?!?

 

How are people still getting shocked from transfer fees in this day and age. We know thats the market.
