I feel like this one is going to be pretty boring, innit?

Unless we count Saudi Arabia as Europe

Bellingham for 103mil€ + up to 30.9mil€ in add-ons is a pretty significant transfer?

There are going to be a couple more 100mil€+ transfers. Bayern just said they're open to making one which might mean they're serious about Declan Rice.

Rice is coming to his boyhood club to replace Xhaka

Inter with the first big signing.

Scamacca is going to Juve, along with his ****ing entourage, for more than West Ham paid for him.

£35m for MacMessi seems rather cheap to me.

Release clause.

I don't want to believe it but there's some smoke about rice and caicedo

Can I interest anyone in some relegated Southampton players?

There has to be a home for a lot of them - Lavia, Livramento, Ward-Prowse.

Will you have the 6'7" forward starting up front next season?

Yeah, I think Walker-Peters could start at a lot of PL clubs too, or back up some of the better teams

No idea about Onuachu, would be surprised if he stayed but I guess it'll depend on if we can shift him

Our contracts are pretty much settled. Really great news on Saliba.

I have full faith in our transfer committee doing a good job in the summer.

Is Gundo coming home too? Cant say I would be too down on that

I wish, for a 2 or 3 year deal. But if Barca have the dosh available he'll go there.

Tic tac.

Imagine madrid would probably be the favorites for his landing spot?

I had weird feelings about this for a few weeks now, but I wanted to ignore it. It makes sense, though. He leaked the fact that his contract renewal was for 2+1 optional year and not 3 years, then the fact that he has until the 31st of July to activate the optional year and one week later making public statments like "I have one more year left of contract and I will honour it."

Good timing and the only way to approach this imo. PSG won't sell him if he starts rebelling and they won't negotiate with RM anyway. Mbappe is making it clear to them early in the summer that he doesn't want to be a part of PSG's future. It's not like they'd be ripping the band aid off if they sell him this summer. You can see why they bullied him into staying for the last 2 years, but keeping him for one more year would be pointless now. Another CL disappointment, Messi & Neymar most likely gone, another coach sacked. I think most of their supporters would agree that selling Mbappe now is the best option.

You'd think PSG understood by now they can't win the CL if they don't try to build a real team and that will take them years and years.

And when it comes to Madrid, I think it went something like: It's either Mbappe this year, or it's pretty much over because otherwise they'll spend 100m+ on Bellingham, 100m+ on someone like Kane, 60m+ on someone like Havertz, huge salaries, Benzema, Asensio, Hazard, Mariano left for free, next year Modric, Kroos, Nacho and who knows who else will leave for free as well. Endrick is coming next year as well.

RM probably gave him an ultimatum, try to move early in the summer, or we're moving on with our transfer window.

If Madrid can get mbappe on the cheap they might. More likely florentino will troll him and sign someone else. He pissed florentino off and florentino is a Mafia don who doesn't forget being disrespected. But he might hate PSG more.

Florentino is a businessman in his late 70s and this is his last hurrah. He's going to leave RM financially sound, with a new stadium and revamped squad. He'll pay whatever PSG wants, something like 200m most likely.

Yea just came to post that it is most likely Barca. Oh well Rice and Caicedo it is

He's never been a stupid business man and he already has vini

yeah it seems like people are imagining mbappe as the benzema replacement in the middle but that's not the position he wants to play

What? Are we following the same stuff? Are we still talking about Kylian Mbappe?

lol. if PSG calls Florentino today, he's sending them the money by tonight

People were saying the same thing in 2021, RM won't bid for him, he'll go to RM for "free" in 2022. What happened? RM were ready to pay a quarter of a billion for him with one year left on the contract. And that's when they still had to pay salaries for the likes of Benzema, Hazard, Bale, Isco, Asensio, Marcelo, Mariano, Jovic.

It's either something like 200m for PSG, or ~150m for Mbappe asa a free agent. Do you think Florentino has the opportunity to go for Mbappe and instead buys a 30 year old Kane and Havertz?

right, just as he already had 34 year old Benzema last year and didn't even try to get Haaland. What happened?
