Paris Saint-Germain have submitted an opening bid to anticipate Skriniar deal in January but Inter want €20m fee. Talks will continue soon, let’s see if they can reach an agreement to sign him earlier. Manchester United and Tottenham were never close to signing Skriniar.

Vesper 30,236 Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Brighton tell Moises Caicedo to stay away from training amid Arsenal interest https://theathletic.com/4133276/2023/01/28/arsenal-transfer-news-caicedo-brighton/ Brighton & Hove Albion have told Moises Caicedo to stay away from training until after the January transfer window amid speculation over his future. Brighton rejected a £60million offer from Arsenal on Friday. Caicedo responded to this by publishing a statement on social media in which he said he wanted to leave the club. As a result, Caicedo will not be present at training on Saturday — which takes place at 11am — and is expected to play no part in the club’s FA Cup fourth round tie against Liverpool on Sunday. Brighton’s position is that Caicedo is not for sale in the January transfer window — and that this will not change, despite continued interest from Arsenal. The club expects him to stay at the club for the second half of the season. GO DEEPER Caicedo's potential move to Arsenal: Why Arteta wants Brighton’s highly-rated midfielder The 21-year-old said on Instagram on Friday evening: “I am grateful to Mr. Bloom and Brighton for giving me the chance to come to the Premier League and I feel I have always done my best for them. I always play football with a smile and with heart. “I am the youngest of 10 siblings from a poor upbringing in Santa Domingo in Ecuador. My dream has always to be the most decorated player in the history of Ecuador. “I am proud to be able to bring in a record transfer fee for Brighton which would allow them to reinvest it and help the club continue to be successful. “The fans have taken me into their hearts and they will always be in my heart so I hope they can understand why I want to take up this magnificent opportunity.” Arsenal are keen on Caicedo as they are looking to sign a central midfielder. They have been exploring a deal for him in recent days and have now made a firm move for him towards the latter stages of the January transfer window. The north London club do have considerable funds to strengthen the squad in this window, as shown by their failed pursuit of Mykhailo Mudryk. Chelsea have also shown an interest in Caicedo and had an offer worth £55million rejected earlier this month. The Ecuador international joined Brighton from Independiente del Valle in February 2021 and is under contract on the south coach until 2025. He has made 25 appearances for Brighton since his move. GO DEEPER Arsenal are out the FA Cup but buoyed by Trossard, Martinelli and going toe to toe with City Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reddish-Blue 2,513 Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 48 minutes ago, OneMoSalah said: Well how did we manage to win the CL with him as a key player who delivered big performances and big contributions in key games if he is that bad 😂 The whole point of these posts have been comparing Mount to Gallagher in terms of keeping them/who would accept what squad roles/their wages/value etc so if your going then going to bring up Saka and Foden in comparison to Mount quality wise then why can’t I bring Gallagher up who we are originally comparing to Mount? Your logic here is baffling. Remind me, was Mount the only stand out player in that CL run or was it most of the team that played very well and showed up on the big occasion? Comparing Mount & Gallagher doesn't make sense as one is meant to be guaranteed starter whilst the other is only starting to get a chance this season as a squad player. As I said before, your logic is flawed as you can't compare starting quality players to squad players. Everyone knows that Mount is better but the fact that he hasn't been able to show that level of talent this season and drag Chelsea up the table to the European competition places is the biggest concern moving forward. The easiest hypothetical would be: Let's say Mount & Saka swapped places at their respective clubs, there's a high chance that Arsenal aren't top of the league right now and we're likely in the top 4.

He can only go one place and I don’t think any would flinch at paying €150m for Enzo Fernandez either in the summer. I am actually surprised Madrid haven’t been linked with Kroos apparently considering retiring this summer and Modric’s age. Bellingham would be a fool to choose Pool over Real. Pool likely will have no CL, have an ageing team, and a Klopp in a bit of funk, plus, imagine living around several million scousers in that rathole dingy dreary city, versus one of the great European capitals and the best football-only stadium on the planet, and, at the end of the day, the best club in football history, by far the biggest club of any sport, in the world plus slots opening up in MF for Jude at Real hello Madrid for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesper 30,236 Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Chelsea sign right-back Malo Gusto from Lyon https://theathletic.com/4134794/2023/01/29/Chelsea-transfer-malo-gusto/ By The Athletic Staff 50 minutes ago Chelsea have completed the signing of right-back Malo Gusto from Lyon. The France under-21 international will remain at Lyon on loan for the remainder of the season. The west London side have agreed to pay €30million (£26.3m) plus add-ons for the services of the 19-year-old. Gusto broke into Lyon’s first team last season, making 30 Ligue 1 appearances and helping his side to reach the last eight of the Champions League. Chelsea identified Gusto as someone who can provide back-up to first-choice right-back/right wing-back Reece James, who has suffered two knee injuries this season. Gusto is the seventh signing of a busy January window for Chelsea. The Premier League have already brought in Mykhaylo Mudryk, David Datro Fofana, Benoit Badiashile, Noni Madueke and Andrey Santos on permanent deals and signed Joao Felix on loan from Atletico Madrid. bigbluewillie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzo is not prime Messi or CR7 or current Mbappe also: zero chance Enzo signs that deal sub zero Idk players do this kind of shit all the time, if he is on very low wages right now and his potential future is: stay on this contract for most of your career, or move to a bigger contract right now with a gentlemen's agreement we'll let you leave if a good bid comes in... Players tend to sign. And then get fucked over by their club later (see Harry Kane) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him ending up at City is exactly why I'm in favour of us just overspending to get him. They already took the cheat-code Haaland to guarantee a serious level of dominance, if we let them have the best CM in the world as well then come on what are we doing here? We're spending a lot of money to compete yearly in a race for 2nd... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tchouameni starts in the DM role, but Bellingham is definitely starting in that future midfield as you would say he is better than both Valverde and Camavinga who are very talented. Either way, all of them would get decent amount of minutes anyway. City seems a realistic choice also. Wouldn't surprise me to see them go after Fernandez as alternative though if we don't sign him in January.

Liverpool will be back on track next season 100%. More so they sign Bellingham and if they get a few others. Plus Nunez is gonna score a lot more next year I think.

With the weird ownership stuff going on at Liverpool I can’t picture them spending well north of £100m on a player. He has predominantly played on the right under Ancelotti, particularly in the bigger games and in Europe he goes for Kroos, Modric and Tchou as his 3. I don’t think this would stop them going for Bellingham. Plus hes already 24. He’s hardly a “future superstar” like Bellingham would be considered, FV is already a very good player who should be coming into his prime football in 2 or 3 seasons. Plus on Bellingham he is totally different to all 3 of them players. So why would they not go for him? Also they’ve got Ceballos in the squad still and have had to play a lot more this season due to injuries. You telling me Madrid are going to keep/not pursue Bellingham if the opportunity arises? City is another good shout also but I think Liverpool is the most ideal move for him out of the 3. Just seems to suits him as a player and he’s exactly what their missing, a physically imposing midfielder who has the ability to drive a team forward and contribute more offensively.

If they suddenly get a new ownership group perhaps. Wouldn’t necessarily say they wont. Just because they’re looking for new investment means nothing conclusive as in they will sell or wont. They’ve spent big on Nunez, Van Dijk, Alisson, Diaz, Keita in the past to name a few. Yes there was the Coutinho sale also for VVD & Alisson but I don’t think its as if their owners will sell the club anytime soon and everyone knows Klopp is extremely set on Bellingham. Usually Klopp gets what he wants at Liverpool also. Bellingham doesn’t have a release clause so any club could structure a deal worth over £100m in a beneficial way that suits both parties regardless.

Vesper 30,236 Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 roflmaooooooooooooo and remember Kane's (who is 30yo this summer) contract expires the exact same date as Mount's this is why English footballer valuations are delusional and the press are idiots and trolls £300m Harry Kane transfer cost https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/transfer-news/tottenham-transfer-news-porro-kane-26100735 A move for Tottenham striker Harry Kane could cost Manchester United up to £300million in the summer transfer window, reports the Daily Star. The England captain is nearing the end of his contract with the Lilywhites, with uncertainty as to where his future may lie in the seasons ahead. United are said to be one side interested and in need of a striker, but a transfer cost of £300million for the overall transfer package could change things.
