2016/17 Summer Transfer Rumours Mk. I

AS saying that Ozil is "crazy to return to Spain" and that Arsenal are interested in players like Turan, Munir and Sandro. Since Madrid has 2 clauses in Ozil's contract Barca are apparently getting creative.

Madrid gets a third of whatever exceeds 50mill in a hypothetical Ozil transfer. To get around that, Barca would look to include some players and lower the cash.
Madrid also has 48 hours to match offers on Ozil if they'd want. So Barca would wait until the transfer ban is active to make the move.

Spanish media is hilarious.

Imagine offering Sandro, Munir and Turan. We have better players in our youth team than them

At least offer us Samper, Aleñá and Lee (:

Dat midfield of Özil - Busquets - Iniesta, such mobility.

My personal rule of thumb is that any story from Spain including the phrase a player "is crazy to join.." is BS.

the work rate is basically nonexistent

I wish to see Ozil at Barca but there's no place for him

Barca play 4-3-3, Ozil isn't a CM anyway.

The should be writing screenplays for heist movies with these ideas

I'd watch it

Laporte has a broken leg and ankle. This should end all speculations about a transfer to Barca. He won't be the same player ever again, much like Varane.

He wasn't going to Barca anyway

According to Tuttosport we are interested in Benatia (who Bild says is looking likely to leave) and are working on a 2m loan with obligation to buy for 22m if some conditions are met.

I don't how valid any of that is, but we do need a CB for next season

Götze is on his way back to Dortmund according to several reports.

lukaku leaving everton

I would sell Goetze & Benatia gladly! The Benatia deal is fantastic for us money wise.

I wonder why any club actually still considers buying Dortmund players out of their contracts

Boy my heart aches for that poor bastard Gotze tbh. Such a talent getting wasted.

If no one else is interested he might just join us for something like 60 mil this window.
Wont mind it tbh. Him Martial and Rashford and our striker options are set for some years to come.
However with the impending arrival of mou he will be hesitant to join us sadly.

Question for those in Germany:

Is Sky over there reporting anything about Xhaka to Arsenal for £34million? See it plastered all over Twitter but, well, it's Twitter.

That's from BILD. They claimed couple of days ago that Wenger and an Arsenal lawyer met with Xhaka's father and his agent, Arsenal are willing to pay 43 € to BMG, 5m € to Xhaka as a signing fee and another 2 something m for the agent.

I'm not able to directly check BILD items anymore since I'm not willing to turn off my adblocker for those pigs lol, but apparently they're basing it on souces 'very close' to Xhaka.

Such BILD claims are rarely ever COMPLETELY made up, but the accuracy is still very doubtful.

I saw reports that klopp met with his as well. both reports must be false as his club did not give permition to arsenal or Liverpool to talk to him.

Inter want Candreva

Chelsea opened negotiations with Nainggolan

United interested Miranda, Marquinhos is also an option

Conte wants Cuadrado back at Chelsea
