Ivan Toney ready to leave Brentford

https://thedailybriefing.io/i/138094949/ivan-toney-ready-to-leave-brentford

Many clubs are keeping an eye on Ivan Toney, and he’s another big name to watch for January. Arsenal and Chelsea are informed on Toney’s situation, they know his situation very well and that he’s ready to make a top club move in January.

It will depend on how much these clubs want to spend, because Toney will likely cost at least £60-65m to sign from Brentford. Let’s see if Chelsea decide to attack the situation, or if Arsenal go for him, or someone else, because, for example, we know Tottenham didn’t end up signing a direct replacement for Harry Kane in the summer, though they are very happy with their squad.

In any case, Toney is absolutely ready to leave Brentford, so let’s see if it’s January or next summer, and of course, as always, let’s respect Brentford in this saga, because they will insist to receive important money for their star player.

Trevoh Chalobah 90% likely to leave Chelsea this January

https://thedailybriefing.io/i/138094949/trevoh-chalobah-likely-to-leave-Chelsea-this-january

Another player to watch is Trevoh Chalobah, as I can confirm now that my information is that he will leave Chelsea in January. You may remember that Chelsea were prepared to let him go to Nottingham Forest in the final hours of the transfer window, only for the player to say no.

Bayern Munich were also interested in Chalobah and their interest remains, while there are now other clubs as well. Chalobah loves Chelsea but he wants to play, so he is prepared to go. A January exit now looks 90% guaranteed, so let’s see how this develops, but in all likelihood he will be on his way out of Stamford Bridge.

One player Bayern are not currently in talks to sign is former Arsenal defender Sokratis Papastathopoulos, despite what has been reported elsewhere. Real Betis spoke to Sokratis but there was no agreement between the two parties so the deal collapsed. Bayern are not speaking to Sokratis as of now, they’re happy with the squad they have; in case they change their mind, Sokratis would be super keen on the move.

worked out in the end. Cole Palmer for similar money

lol at anyone who wanted Neymar here over the past few years

 

• Al Hilal have officially announced that Neymar tore his ACL and his meniscus in Brazil’s World Cup qualifier against Uruguay.

• Neymar: “It’s very sad moment, the worst of my life. I know I’m strong… but this time I need support of my family and my friends. It’s not easy to get injured, undergo surgery and then… do it again just four months later. I have faith, I leave it in God’s hands.”

Maatsen extended through 2025

 

[MoroccanBlue 5,380]

Di Laurentis basically hinted we may make a move for Osimhen. Whispers £90m may be the fee. 

Thinking a strike force of Osimhen, Jackson and Nkunku (during AFCON) may be the way forward.

His contract expires in 25 and he doesn't seem keen to renew.

I'd pay 90-100m for Osimhen over 60m for Toney.

thats a no brainer 

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

Problem remains that with Jackson also missing games bc of Afcon we would be without a striker for a month every two years. They are also very similar in terms of playing style so not sure if paying a huge sum for a striker for the umpteenth time is the way to go here. 
It sounds comical but by the crazy standards we have set ourselves, 90m or even 120m would actually be reasonable for a healthy  Osimhen if he continues to perform like last season and started this one.
