Real Madrid launch bid for Arda Guler

Last night, Real Madrid submitted an improved proposal for Arda Guler. They are offering a guaranteed €20m to Fenerbahce, which is more than his release clause, and also a 20% sell-on clause. There would also be add-ons, so it’s a big package, and an agreement is really close, even if not 100% completed yet.

Real Madrid now believe Arda Guler will be their player, they think the deal is going to be done. It’s a crazy story because many clubs wanted him, but Real Madrid are now in a strong position to make it happen. They feel he wants to go there, and it’s just about final details now.

Declan Rice - here we go!

It’s an historic day in English football because Arsenal have finally got their man - Declan Rice to Arsenal, here we go! The agreement is done between Arsenal and West Ham, things were finalised late last night and now it’s complete - the fee, the payment terms, everything.

Rice will now undergo medical tests with Arsenal this week, probably on Friday, that’s the plan for all parties right now, and then an official statement. Rice will be an Arsenal player, the most expensive English player in the history of the game, and the most expensive signing in the Gunners’ history - £105m. This is a very important moment, and I want to share some more behind-the-scenes details of this story.

Mikel Arteta and Edu, they never lost their patience at the key points in this story. When Manchester City entered the race, Arsenal didn’t panic, they decided to wait and then send in their best proposal - the strategy was very clear. They decided back in January that Rice would be their top target, and now they’ve got their man after long and complicated negotiations.

I’ve also been saying in the last couple of weeks that if Rice becomes an Arsenal player, it’s going to be thanks to Arteta - behind the scenes, he’s been pushing, and explaining to Rice just how crucial he’s going to be to the project, on and off the pitch. Rice was really attracted to the plan. Arteta also pushed internally with the directors and owners to give him this signing.

This also means Arsenal can now give the green light to Granit Xhaka to join Bayer Leverkusen as they were waiting to finalise the Rice deal. And after that, an agreement with Ajax for Jurrien Timber is very close, and now that Rice is done, the focus will be to complete the signing of Timber.

Who could be leaving Chelsea next?

https://caughtoffside.substack.com/i/133134440/who-could-be-leaving-Chelsea-next

We’ve seen so many players leave Chelsea this summer, and I have further updates on some big names who could follow the likes of Mason Mount, N’Golo Kante, Kai Havertz and Kalidou Koulibaly out of Stamford Bridge.

I’ll start by saying that Christian Pulisic is really, really tempted by Serie A. AC Milan asked about Pulisic one year ago when they spoke to Chelsea about Rafael Leao, but then the Portuguese forward was, and remains, untouchable. Still, talks are ongoing - Pulisic is in the club’s plan and he’s pushing to join Milan, but Chelsea want €25/30m so I expect Milan to bid again soon.

Conor Gallagher has been on Newcastle’s list since May. Of course, after signing Sandro Tonali they are now discussing internally about how to spend money in the next weeks, but Gallagher has always been appreciated by West Ham and Newcastle, these two clubs. Ben Jacobs has reported on Chelsea’s stance on Gallagher here.

At the moment, the situation is quiet around Hakim Ziyech after his move to Al Nassr fell through. For sure all parties will try to find the best solution together in the next days. As he’s hinted on social media, Ziyech believes that many stories in the recent days were not correct, I’m sure he will clarify his position soon.

As many of you will have seen, Mount also finally said his goodbyes to Chelsea fans in a video message last night, and he’s now set to be officially unveiled as a Manchester United player today.

I just don't see Gallagher leaving, feel like he would suit Pochettino's pressing tactics and we could use the depth heading into new season.

‘See you soon’: Andrey Santos now sends message to £13m Chelsea target on Instagram

https://www.thechelseachronicle.com/transfer-news/see-you-soon-andrey-santos-now-sends-message-to-13m-Chelsea-target-on-instagram/

 

Andrey Santos has just dropped a massive hint on Instagram that Angelo Gabriel may be joining Chelsea very soon.

The Chelsea method of signing some of the world’s best youngsters certainly isn’t slowing down, with Angelo Gabriel the latest rising star to be linked with a move to Stamford Bridge.

The Athletic claimed last week that Chelsea have agreed a €15million (£13million) deal with Brazilian club Santos for Angelo Gabriel. They added that the 18-year-old Brazilian winger could be loaned out to French side Strasbourg once he officially becomes a Blues-owned player.

Now, it looks like one of Chelsea’s current talent has let slip the deal is taking place. 

Chelsea midfielder Andrey Santos, who’s just 19, may have just let the secret out with a three-word message on social medica.

“See you soon”, he responded to Angelo Gabriel on Instagram.

They have represented Brazil’s Under-20s together in recent times, and it looks like the pair will soon be reunited in West London.

Let’s hope they can bring some South American flair to Stamford Bridge.

Man United going with a low ball for Onana, 39M total package, just like they did with Mount- Onana keen on the move

what is Everton asking?

it wasn't like I used a supercomputer to correctly predict the £60m for Mount

I just split the difference on the first serious price we put on him (£80m, as there was some places that said £85m, but no legit sources backed that up)

and then Manure's lowball initial offer (£40m)

and said the average of the two would be what he went for (£120m divided by 2 yielded £60m)

It's the goalkeeper from Inter

Pool getting Lavia (if they can get it over the line) will likely crank up the price on Moisés Caicedo and Amadou Onana 

and may affect the price of Khéphren Thuram and Nicolo Barella (not a true DMF really, but can play the pivot and is a great all round player)

Martín Zubimendi has a set release clause of £51.4m (€60m) so that is stable, but not sure if the Chels board rates him

assuming that Real Madrid do not lose their minds and allow Tchou to be sold (I wish),

we really are running out of great DMFs to target if Lavia and Onana go into the Red zones: Pool and Manure, with Rice now in the 3rd, Arse)

if none of the above work out, the last 3 I can see are

Teun Koopmeiners  
Sofyan Amrabat 
Florentino
(Benfica) (vastly more athletic than the other 2, but also more of a gamble)

Alan Varela from Boca Juniors is a wild card

So, what's happening with this Caicedo deal? Weeks ago it was PT nearly done. last week they were all agreed, and at the weekend we where in talks with Brighton-since then a nothing update from Romano, but pure silence.

Mount has now fucked off and added another 55M to the pot, what the fuck are we actually doing?
