Arsenal and Chelsea in list of sides who want Brazilian – Club willing to negotiate in January

http://sportwitness.co.uk/arsenal-chelsea-list-sides-want-brazilian-club-willing-negotiate-january/

Brazilian side Athletico Paranaense are about to start the season with a huge doubt about the future of their biggest star. 

Midfielder Bruno Guimarães could be leaving the club in January, even though it’s still hard to guess who he will be signing for.

Website Globo Esporte brings a story about it this week, listing the possible destinations as Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, Benfica, Chelsea and Flamengo.

And although it’s claimed that Athletico Paranense would favour a January move, the interesting thing is that the report brings a negative point for each one of these clubs, except for the Premier League sides.

Atletico Madrid have the priority due to an agreement from the transfer of Renan Lodi last year, and could pay €30m for Bruno Guimarães. But the Spanish side’s wage bill has been too big, and even if they make a January signing, they would prefer a striker rather than a midfielder.

Something similar happens to Benfica, who have just spent €20m on the signing of Julian Weigl and are unlikely to sign another midfielder in January. And Flamengo aren’t a very strong option, since Bruno Guimarães’ staff and Athletico would favour a move to Europe.

Globo Esporte doesn’t say a lot about Arsenal and Chelsea, except claiming that the interest from the Blues has been there for a while, and since they had been banned from making signings, this is the first transfer window they could make an attempt for him.

So the two London sides seem to be the clubs who don’t have anything blocking them from trying to get the Brazilian this month.

I feel like the only real chance we have at the likes of Werner and Sancho is if we tried this month. But neither of their clubs will sanction moves in January. By the time the summer comes around many more big clubs will be after them and would likely outbid us.

But how many other big clubs out there really need a ST and RW? In Werner's case, think there will be a release clause come next summer, so it'll be a case of convincing him as opposed to outbidding others for him. Being able to promise CL football for next season will also be key, I think (more so with Werner than Sancho).

If we can't get them in January, fine but if we want to be certain for the summer, then we should try to do a Pulisic type of deal for them, unlikely for Sancho but maybe possible for Werner.

I feel like there are clubs that are probably satisfied with what they have now in those positions but come summer will become interested. Liverpool comes to mind. There have been rumors recently that they wanted Sancho. I expect United will be after him hard as well.

But which club really need Werner/Sancho? (I WANT WERNER!)

Sancho to Liverpool makes no sense because Klopp isn't suddenly going to drop Salah (or Mane) and he's only 27 years old, hardly at an age where they need immediate replacement. Plus, they just bought Minamino from RB Salzburg. 

Not worried about United, because they are a mess and if Sancho chooses them, well, then maybe he's not very smart. If there's a Manchester club to be worried about, it's the blue half side. The Chelsea connection could ultimately decide whether we get Sancho or not, assuming the club isn't scared off by the big transfer fee. 

[Jase 43,479]

Cheeky bid for Eriksen, anyone? 

[DDA 9,691]

Sancho is 100% not coming here this window and probably wont be coming in the summer either. We wont pay the fee Dortmund will demand. 😔😭

Looks like Michy will be leaving.

Liverpool only spend what they sell, unless there's a big sale of one of the front three Liverpool are firmly out of the race.

Can't make a judgement either way as not saw a game he's played ever but 17 goals in 37 games is a pretty sound return at 21, even in the Russian League.

I wouldn't be surprised if Real target Mane or Salah in the summer, especially if they can ship out the likes of Bale, James, Isco.

It's quite possible if (or I suppose when) Liverpool win the league this season, either of those two may be ready for a new challenge as they haven't much else left to do or win at Liverpool.

Sure we are a counter-attacking side but you cannot leave Wilf one on one with a full-back, if you do he’s going past them no question. He leads the charts for successful take-ons and is up there every year so you need to watch him a bit more closely if you are not sure he is tricky enough. I have seen sides double, sometimes treble up on him and unfortunately our lot don’t have the quality to make use of the space that it leaves. Put him in a better attack and I think he (and they) will flourish with the extra space they get.

In terms of the major flaws in his game, you could argue his mentality is one; he is pretty easy to wind up. Secondly I am not sure his ball striking technique is up there with the best in the world, more than a few crosses are overhit and his shooting can be erratic at times too. He also takes too many touches occassionally, though I think that would improve in a better team with more options for him to pass to. I watched your game at the weekend and there’s no question in my mind he’d contribute a lot.

Personally i'd love to see Wilf play for a top side to see how much he'd improve. No, i don't think he'd be the next Ronaldo but i do feel that he'd surprise many.

A bit of Palace perspective on Zaha if anyone's interested.

If we can somehow get the price to £60m I'd take him, especially if (as is likely) we'll have to wait till the summer to make a play for Sancho. 

Go into next season with both and we seriously improve our attack, I got high hopes to both CHO and Pulisic but neither are anywhere near ready to carry our attack for an extended period of time.

It would be interesting if we offered them say £30m, to see what they would do. I don't think any foreign clubs will bid for him in January when they can take him for free in the summer.

I read somewhere that Spurs may be prepared to deal with a rival to get a return on him and Mourinho has previous selling Mata to United to help fund moves he wanted to make. If Eriksen wants out, they may be forced to accept such a bid to give them more flexibility to replace him.
