Vesper 31,181 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Man City & Barcelona battle for Ajax pair De Jong & De Ligt https://www.goal.com/en-sg/news/man-city-barcelona-battle-for-ajax-pair-de-jong-de-ligt/1fqf0tae7ai8o1hsp2anp2xper Both clubs have been working to sign the Netherlands internationals and in recent weeks each has believed that the other has the upper hand Barcelona and Manchester City have gone head-to-head in the race to sign Ajax prospect Frenkie De Jong, Goal understands. The two clubs each believe that the other has an advantage when it comes to landing the 21-year-old, who is being chased by Europe's biggest sides. And the situation is further complicated by a mutual interest in Ajax centre-back Matthijs De Ligt. Barca spent the summer trying to open negotiations with Ajax for De Jong, withGoal having revealed that former technical secretary Robert Fernandez spoke with Ajax director of football Marc Overmars on numerous occasions , but the €30 million (£26.2m/$34.8m) fee on offer was well below the Dutch club's valuation. De Jong has spoken of his desire to play with Lionel Messi at Camp Nou on several occasions, and sources at Manchester City had been of the belief that the Primera Division champions were in pole position. But senior Barca sources now believe that it is City who have the upper hand thanks to a recent push by sporting director Txiki Begiristain, who has travelled to Amsterdam for talks on several occasions. Barca are resigned to the fact that they would not be able to match City's financial muscle, although Manchester United's Paul Pogba does feature as an alternative midfield option. Paris Saint-Germain's Adrien Rabiot, whose contract is up next summer, is also under consideration. There is a feeling within the Catalan club that City could even try to buy De Jong in January and loan him back to Ajax until the end of the season. De Jong, for his part, insists he has no plans to leave the Amsterdam club : "For the moment I'm staying at Ajax, at least another year and maybe two or three more, I'm really enjoying it here," he told Elf Voetbal on Thursday. Yet that public stance is not enough to put off his suitors. City are chasing midfield reinforcements after missing out on top target Jorginho to Chelsea in the summer, and the Premier League champions are also drawing up their plans for next summer's window. A January move has not been ruled out; last season they moved to bring in a centre-back and a forward to aid their push for honours. The versatile De Jong, who can play in several positions in defence and in midfield, is regarded as a special talent by virtually every leading European club and City do not want to miss their opportunity to sign him. Ajax are hoping to take advantage of the situation to recoup as large a transfer fee as possible. City have also been working on a deal for Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves , although the Midlands club have indicated that they will fight hard to keep the 21-year-old Portugal international, or at least hold out for as close to £100 million as possible. It remains to be seen whether City are ready to buy just one midfielder - an effective replacement for Jorginho - or two. Lyon's Tanguy Ndombele is another player that City have been watching closely for several months. snip further confirmation of my previous Shitty post Meanwhile we just sit on our hands and watch Eden's long goodbye (and will lose over £100m in valuation when he does leave in the summer, or even more if he leaves on a free in a little over a year and a half), offer contract extensions to ageing 30-somethings Luiz and Willian that will take them to 34/35 years of age, will probably lose Kovacic back to RM, are now supposedly once again chasing yet another Italian CB (Romagnoli) that will more than likely end in a giant stall/price gouge and partial window-wrecking, time-wasting failure as has almost every Serie A negotiation over the last 4 years, are also apparently going to offer an extension to an already too slow LB, Alonso, that will also take him well into his 30's, are failing to unload almost ANY of our large pile of deadwood, and, finally, are playing our young players so sparingly all but Ampadu may end up bailing out, CHO possibly on a free.

To replace Neymar, who is Real bound (or maybe back to Barca) Jesus Christ, they go from strength to strength. I am sure they go after Dybala or Icardi or both too with the Neymar quid. SMS is in the mix too, along with Neves and Frenkie de Jong. Maybe even take a stab at de Ligt at CB (they would sell Marquinhos or more likely Presnel Kimpembe plus Draxler and ageing Cavani). Talk about buying a CL!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we flip it and try to include Willian + Cash for Dembele haha thats the dream in a bizarro hypothetical world if we end up with Dembele and Asensio + 75-100m for Hazard and Willian that is a ridiculously good reset for the team. *No, i don't want hazard to leave, just a hypothetical* Johnnyeye and blues.bridge 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesper 31,181 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Kylian Mbappé Contract Leak Reveals Staggering Demands for Private Jet & More https://www.highsnobiety.com/p/mbappe-contract-demands/ As one of the best young footballers on the planet, we kinda assumed Kylian Mbappé’s contract at French giant PSG would be worth a lot of money. Today, the German news magazine Der Spiegel reported leaked details of the Frenchman’s earnings and contract demands — and the numbers involved are mind-boggling. Mbappé initially joined PSG from AS Monaco on a loan deal in August 2017, which was made permanent earlier this year for a reported fee of €180 million. He has since gone on to cement himself as one of the game’s upcoming superstars, and capped a memorable World Cup win with France in the summer by winning the tournament’s best young player award. Mbappé famously operates without an agent, instead leaving his father, Wilfrid, to do his negotiating. After receiving documents from the whistleblower platform Football Leaks, Der Spiegel reviewed the information related to Mbappe’s contract with a network of journalists at the European Investigations Collaboration (EIC). The article states that Mbappé asked for a contract worth €55 million that would see him become one of the world’s best-paid players. He demanded a €5 million signing bonus and a €50 million salary for the duration of the five-year contract, which the report says PSG accepted. It then goes on to detail demands from Mbappé’s camp that PSG refused to meet. These include: Mbappé reportedly wanted a clause inserted into his deal that would see him automatically become the club’s highest-paid player, even eclipsing Neymar, if he were to win the Ballon d’Or. Mbappé’s father, Wlifrid, reportedly requested permission to attend PSG training sessions Mbappé reportedly wanted the use of a private jet for 50 hours per year. PSG compromised, instead offering stead €30,000 euros per month to fund Mbappé’s personal staff, which includes a butler, a chauffeur and a bodyguard. Mbappé’s family wanted assurances that they would be financially compensated should PSG be banned from the Champions League for breaching FFP (Financial Fair Play) guidelines. Prior to signing with PSG, the article also reports that Real Madrid had agreed a €180 million transfer with Monaco for Mbappé’s services, but that his father halted the move because he was uncertain his son would be guaranteed game time.
