Vesper 31,037 Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Elye Wahi made the right choice with surprise Lens move https://thedailybriefing.io/i/136363982/elye-wahi-made-the-right-choice-with-surprise-lens-move Elye Wahi made a move that took everyone slightly by surprise as he made the switch from Montpellier to Lens after links with a number of other top clubs around Europe. Still, I think it is a great move for the player and club. Lens were closing on Chuba Akpom before he favoured Ajax and that was a bit of a blow so this was a nice pivot to sign a player in Wahi who needed the step up in level with European experience for a club who needed to replace a major source of goals in Lois Openda. Wahi has shown that he can score regularly in Ligue 1 and will now get a taste for Europe while Lens can further develop a player who is already being watched by Europe’s top clubs. It is a better fit than being loaned to Strasbourg so it is little surprise to see Wahi jumping at the opportunity and it us also heartening to see such a significant deal done between French clubs which are not PSG. Frankfurt will likely continue to pursue Ekitike and Chelsea had Wahi as one for the future and not now which was perfect for Lens who will make him an immediate starter across all competitions.

Pizy 19,252 Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 10 minutes ago, Vesper said: PSG have the edge over Chelsea for Barcola https://thedailybriefing.io/i/136363982/psg-have-the-edge-over-Chelsea-for-barcola Bradley Barcola’s situation continues to attract speculation, but, to be honest, I do not think Chelsea stand much of a chance as long as PSG are in the race for him. The Lyon man has been clear that a Paris move interests him and he is the last remaining major target for Campos this window along with Kolo Muani. To land both would be a game changer and Hugo Ekitike potentially moving on with both Frankfurt and West Ham keen hints at how PSG entire attacking stable would be reset by both players joining this month. Chelsea is not unattractive to Barcola, especially with former teammate Malo Gusto already there, but the pathway to a clear and defined role at Parc des Princes has already been laid out to him and Ligue 1 keeps him developing without too big a jump in demands. Should PSG’s interest fail to concretise, then a London switch might be considered but it is not currently the priority. Also, a potential loan move to Strasbourg is unlikely to appeal given Lyon’s situation is fairly similar while PSG can also offer continental competition now. What “clear and defined role” would he have at PSG with Mbappe and Dembele there? Maybe next year when Mbappe is gone.

Vesper 31,037 Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Bradley Barcola swap deal latest https://thedailybriefing.io/i/136358814/bradley-barcola-swap-deal-latest I’ve mentioned Bradley Barcola many times this summer and I’m going to start with him again today. PSG have always been interested in this top talent and they have an agreement with the player, he wants to go to PSG, but there is a crucial point - there is no agreement between the clubs. As I reported yesterday, it’s getting tense between PSG and Lyon on these negotiations. It’s also the reality that Chelsea have asked for information on Barcola, without submitting an official bid. What I’m hearing now is that Lyon, more than big money, want players to be included in the deal. Of course a fee will be needed as well, but they believe they can take advantage of these negotiations by including players in the deal. This is going to be a crucial factor, but it’s not easy to find players from Chelsea or PSG who would accept that kind of move. Still, Lyon will try to find a solution, so keep an eye on this story. Hugo Ekitike was one name discussed but he doesn’t want to join Lyon, he prefers a move to the Premier League. Let’s see if PSG will try again, or if Chelsea will really strongly enter into the race as they haven’t yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 19,252 Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Poch did again mention this morning the idea that he wants the attacking signing to be “PL ready.” Who knows if that means figuratively (as in he wants someone physically strong enough to fit into the PL right away) or if he literally means he wants someone who already in the PL. xPetrCechx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesper 31,037 Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku has offered himself to ‘everyone’ in his attempts to find a new club before the window closes, including AC Milan. https://sempremilan.com/corsera-chelseas-lukaku-offered-to-milan There is one week until the end of the market and several teams still have to offload the players who are not deemed a part of their plans, and this situation applies to Lukaku who seems to be on the way out of Chelsea. As reported by Corriere della Sera (via MilanNews), the lawyer Ledure – who represents the Belgian striker – approached Juventus, but without Dusan Vlahovic’s involvement in the operation the deal is struggling to take off. Milan were offered the former Inter striker too, but they have no intention of welcoming such a character in the dressing room because of the fear it could upset the baalnce. Roma are the latest club to have been offered Lukaku’s services. The operation is only possible, however, via a loan formula (which at the moment is excluded by the English club) and with his €12m salary partly covered.
