It's crazy to think that Liverpoop actually have a greater pulling power than us right now considering the difference in our recent years success. 

They do and it is not even close anymore I feel. Allisson was the tip of the iceberg

the only way i see Felix coming here is, 1- we qualify for Champions League, 2- we break the bank for him, 3- David Luiz connections with Benfica, im clutching at straws here

Yeah, but everyone can’t go there, can they? Lucas Paqueta rejected PSG for Milan because he wanted playing time. Malcom was a wanted man at Roma, almost signed for them and when Barcelona’s offer came in he dumped Monchi and now he is experiencing what is it like to compete with Messi, Coutinho and Dembelé.

 

Maybe we are not in the best shape now but for young player Chelsea can be tempting. Under Sarri, we have 3 academy products under 23 playing regularly, Ampadu is also a part of the squad(too bad he is injured again)..

Hazard seem to be leaving, Willian and Pedro are over their peak, I think this summer is a good oppurtunity for young AMFs/wingers.

I get that feeling too. This summer is going be a very interesting period in our history.

Avoid a transfer ban, buy Felix, Bruno Fernandes, Piatek and keep Hazard. That would be a good year.

Benfica president Luis Filipe Vieira rejected a 75m euro (£65m) bid for Felix from the Italian champions last week. (O Jogo - in Portuguese)

Buying piatek is not going to happen we had a chance to sign him in January sarri wanted his love child instead

you do release that just those three players will cost close to £270m or more?

Upon signing for Sporting in 2017, the club agreed to place a release clause of £90m in Fernandes' contract which had deterred any solid interest from potential buyers.

Felix will be at least £100m or so (they turned down a 70m offer from Victimpool already AND they want to raise his release clause from 100m to 200m euros)

and zero chance Milan sells Piatek for less than £80m or more

plus, Hazard is gone, he isnt renewing and we will 95% for sure sell him rather than lose 100m or so, especially if we do not get CL

as for the bans, the best we can hope for is a deferral, but now more illegalities are coming out, so we may get the 2 windows lengthened even more (CAS can INCREASE bans on appeals, they have done it before)

Manchester City are interested in signing Benfica’s 19-year-old attacking midfielder Joao Felix, Sky Sports News understands

Cant see them going for both Bruno Fernandes AND Felix. That will be close to £200m for the pair. They really need a LB (Pep is, however apparently going to roll dice on Mendy and his meh backup options) and a new WC DH DMF. Also they need another WC CB. They are loaded elsewhere.

Manchester United to pay £105m for 20-goal attacker wanted by Liverpool; Arsenal linked with £40m swoop

https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/manchester-united-transfer-rumours-gossip-2889448

United to spend on Felix

Record claim Manchester United are willing to meet Joao Felix's £105m buy-out clause to avoid a bidding war for the Benfica attacker.

Felix is one of Portugal's rising stars having helped Benfica to the Primeira Liga title this year, netting 20 goals and providing 11 assists in all competitions.

Yet with Real Madrid and Liverpool also interested, United are willing to cut out negotiations and trigger his release clause.

Arsenal eye up £40m Zaha

TalkSPORT report that Arsenal are preparing a £40m bid for Wilfried Zaha.

Zaha is said to be keen to leave Crystal Palace this season, and a host of clubs are interested.

The Gunners are willing to use their limited budget to bring him to the Emirates.
