Transfer: 2020 Summer (we think) Transfer Window Rumors, News & Discussion

[Savant]

But why would he sign there though?
He's at PSG. He has a nice proposal and Tuchel loves him.
He'll leave if he can find a starting spot on a good team.
He won't start at Liverpool I'm guessing.

He wouldn’t sign and he wouldn’t start. But a player I like. Virgil and Gomez is the pairing there and nothing except for injury is going to break that up for now.

 

[Evilo]

Yes, which is why Liverpool to him is like PSG, except without the fanhood status.
Nah, he'll move to a team where he'll be promised to start or he'll stay.

 

[Gecklund]

Icardi at 55M is huge business. His option was at 70. The 15M clause is how PSG got Inter to lower their demands, which is great business by Leonardo.
Cavani might or might not leave. He has proposals from nearly every big team but his agent has offered PSG to stay with a 40% salary discount. Talk about a heart and soul player.
With Icardi signed though, I'm not sure Cavani still holds that position. He'll be a bench option probably.

Meanwhile Aouchiche (St Etienne) and Kouassi (Milan) will likely leave PSG on a free. Aouchiche had trouble finding playing time but Kouassi played a lot in the second part of the season, playing way more minutes than Diallo or Kehrer (and to be honest, he was SPECTACULAR).
These two will hurt PSG. At some point, if they don't start playing their youngsters, at the very least on the bench, they'll continue to lose money. Coman, Ballo-Toure, Zagadou, Guendouzi, Moussa Dembele, Ikone, Diaby, Nkunku, Maignan, Rabiot, etc...
Crazy talent coming from their academy and leaving for cheap or free.

Didn’t even read the whole post before liking it. Welcome back to one of my favorite posters!

I see, I was unaware that he outperformed Kimpembe who I was reading a while back that he was having a good season.

Kimpembe did have a strong season.
But Kouassi was better down the stretch. Strong at the back, huge ball skills and deadly on set plays.

Fair play to him. That’s the right thing to do.

It’s going to be Werner or bust for LFC this summer. Anything asides that I think they might try to add some homegrown players. Backup Leftback is most pressing position on the back line but they aren’t going to break the back there.

i like that PSG doesnt play their youngsters. Moussa Dembele and Odsonne Edouard for under 10m pounds thank you. which PSG youth should celtic sign next evilo?

Icardi is going to be Ronaldo 2.0 at PSG, just wait you lot will see.

The reliable L'Equipe reporting that Arsenal very much want Moussa Dembele (Lyon) this summer - scouted him almost the entire season. While, Inter are looking at either Lacazette or Auba to help their striker situation from the grasps of Martinez potentially going to Barca.

Which ROnaldo and what stage of career Ronaldo?

Brasilian Ronaldo and at the beginning of his glory career you will soon see from the Archangel that is known as Mauro Icardi.

It’s best to just ignore him. He’s got some very strong opinions but we still love him.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

I mean hes no where his level not to mention style is completely off. Sooo

 

[Chimaera]

I don't know if it's the Werner or bust. But I do think it's going to be limited. Klopp will want players in house to get a shot. With Jones and Elliott coming up, I can see some logic to that direction.

I would take another midfielder, especially with the concern that Wijnaldum has not signed a new deal (though I guess it could get done) and Keita/Henderson still injury concerns.

Leftback is a thought, but if they're keeping Milner it isn't as much of a concern.

I would like to give Brewster a chance, and let Origi move on if he wanted, though that's a tough one there.

It’s a concern if they are keeping Milner. He can’t play that role well anymore. Milner is still useful as a midfielder but he is not great at full back. Of course he will probably be an option there because of the way this summer is going to shake out, but that really isn’t a good position for him

Haha, pretty much every high profile PSG youth player.
The Paris area is the one that gives the most professionnals in Europe by a huge margin. Many come through PSG ranks, but plenty sign elsewhere (Rennes, Caen, Le Havre, Lyon, etc...).

Ronaldo? Nope.
More like Inzaghi, which is mighty fine.

L'Equipe reports Kouassi has narrowed it down to 3 proposals (each with a 5M signing bonus) :
Leipzig, Milan and ... PSG.

He should go to Leipzig. Would probably get the most playing time there with Upamecano likely leaving this summer

What are your thoughts on this? Isn’t Gaich a pretty high profile prospect?

Here's my take on it. Someone good enough to play, probably doesn't want to sit the bench in 90% of the matches. It's not like forward or midfield where there are matches to be had. If Robertson is hurt, then it's obviously a concern, but I think that's in most places in the squad where they would have to make due until the player got back. I know they've looked at some younger players who they hoped would come in, sit for a year or two and maybe deputy. But at this stage, I think the club's economics don't make sense in buying a 15-20 million dollar player to never play.

Maybe with the pandemic happening the cost for a backup part player will be more affordable.

He has a high profile because he's scoring goals but I dont rate him. A lot do for sure but I think his style is very one dimensional.

I agree with most of this, but LB is that one position that sticks out like a sore thumb unless Hoever can play there. LFC got scored on a lot when Milner played LB this season. Next season probably won’t be better. They need a body there. Tried to do it last summer with Lloyd Kelly, need to try to do it again. They wanted Saka, which would have been great, but there won’t be money for him now. They probably try to get another utility player back there.

 

[Cassano]

Good career move I reckon. Leeds desperately need a striker (Bamford is a donkey) and he gets to play in PL next year for a team who plays very good style.

Nobody will EVER come close to il fenomeno. My all time favorite!

Well, for one fact Ronaldinho was the better player.
