That was back when he was being linked with us a handful of seasons ago. I haven't watched him since but, based on that impression, I wouldn't be surprised if all of these links now are nothing more than an active agent doing what agents do.

Yes, he is a pass for me as well. He never really kicked on to truly super level after his Atalanta breakthrough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesper 30,164 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Arsenal turned down Icardi swap https://theathletic.com/3127370/2022/02/14/ornstein-man-utds-new-hire-jamaica-want-spence-referee-overhaul-liverpool-tour/?source=emp_shared_article snip Their main focus looks set to be the striker department following the departure of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to Barcelona, while Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah have expiring contracts. It was well documented that the north London club did study solutions last month — with Dusan Vlahovic, Alexander Isak and Dominic Calvert-Lewin thought to have been their primary targets. Much rested on Aubameyang, who was also wanted by Juventus, and reports claimed that at one point Arsenal were looking into a swap that would have seen Alvaro Morata move the other way. Such ideas were not uncommon and The Athletic has learnt that Arsenal also had the opportunity to explore a potential exchange involving Paris Saint-Germain’s Argentinian forward Mauro Icardi. The 28-year-old joined the French side from Inter Milan on loan in 2019 before completing a permanent switch a year later. He has scored 38 goals in 87 appearances yet is not a regular starter unless one or more of Kylian Mbappe, Lionel Messi and Neymar are unavailable to play. This might have been an interesting prospect but, as with various possibilities that came Arsenal’s way, it did not develop because Arsenal were clear on the candidates they would be prepared to pursue and if none materialised they would stick with existing options until the end of the season. That proved to be the case and manager Mikel Arteta will hope his squad can finish the Premier League campaign strongly before revisiting the recruitment situation with technical director Edu.

Blues Forever 1,232 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) Dortmund sees Noussair Mazraoui as a very interesting option. There have already been talks with Mino Raiola. However, he isn't the number one transfer target. Dortmund main priority is to sign Karim Adeyemi.

Blues Forever 1,232 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 (edited) Talks between Milan and Renato Sanches are expected in the next days. After failed attempt in January, Milan are trying to complete the signing before this summer. The talks with Jorge Mendes for Rafael Leao's contract extension until 2026 are also going well.

Blues Forever 1,232 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 (edited) Talks are on going between Mbappe and PSG for a short-term extension, but so far no offer has been made by the club.

Blues Forever 1,232 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 (edited) Bayern is the club in the most advanced talks with Ryan Gravenberch right now. Gravenberch won't extend his contract with Ajax anymore as the club didn't want to meet his wage demands. In the end, Raiola and Ajax have agreed on good terms that Gravenberch will be sold this summer. The player feels like it's the right time to switch club.
