The Germany international only joined the Spanish champions this summer as a free agent. Gundogan however agreed to join Barca on the condition that he is registered to play in the league by August 12, which is the day before their opener against Getafe. Otherwise, his contract would be terminated and he would leave for a new club. With nine days to go, things are still up in the air, although both the player and the club are confident his registration will be completed in time, which is starting to run out.
A report from Calcio e Finanza (via footitalia) writes – citing Football Report – that Italian football suffered losses of €1.4bn in 2021-22 and has thus accrued debts of €5.6bn, with the aggregate loss over the last 15 years amounting to €7.7bn. The overall loss of the Serie A, Serie B and Serie C championships in the three-year period COVID-19 (2019-20, 2020-21 and 2021-22) was equal to almost €3.6bn. Looking at just Serie A alone, in 2021-22 season the league recorded a production value of just under €3bn, a decrease of 6.5% compared to 2020-21, a season strongly influenced by higher…
This summer, sources claim that Arsenal of the Premier League are considering a bid for Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Arsenal are looking to raise money for more incomings with technical director Edu submitting a bid for Brentford goalkeeper David Raya this week. Another rumour currently doing the rounds is the possibility that they will try for Napoli winger Kvaratskhelia after his impressive performances last term. The Georgia international contributed 14 goals and 14 assists in 43 matches in Serie A and the Champions League last term with his displays attracting admiring glances. And now Spanish publication Nacional claims Arsenal are prepared to ‘storm’ the transfer…
Chelsea are refusing to budge from their valuation over the potential signing of Montpellier starlet Elye Wahi as Todd Boehly takes a rare hardline approach to transfer negotiations. The free-spending American billionaire is taking a different approach to negotiations for the striker, who has been tipped to join RC Strasbourg on loan if he makes the move from Ligue 1, but Boehly is holding firm on the price he is prepared to pay to clinch his signature. The 20-year-old has emerged as one of France’s top talents and scored 19 goals in the top flight last season – including four…
Chelsea could inadvertently help Brighton snatch one of Mauricio Pochettino’s transfer targets should the Seagulls receive their desired £100million for star man Moises Caicedo. The Blues have so been reluctant to stump up the necessary cash after having two bids turned down, but they are still looking to bring in a midfield partner for Enzo Fernandez. Roberto De Zerbi’s side currently expect Caicedo to remain at the club and have been impressed with his attitude despite making his stance clear that he wants to move for Stamford Bridge. However, there is still nearly a month left of the transfer window…
The Blues are on the hunt for a new defensive midfielder and are exploring multiple options after getting priced out of a move for No.1 target Moises Caicedo. Among these options are Leeds’ Tyler Adams, PSG’s Leandro Paredes and Ajax’s Alavrez who has been on their radar for over a year. Chelsea made a late move for the Mexico international last summer but saw their £43million offer rejected, despite the player going on strike in an attempt to force through a transfer. The 25-year-old later reflected on the saga: ‘As a player you are aware that this would change everything. A better league,…
Excitement for the 2023/24 season is well and truly building as Arsenal look to continue their rise up the table. Ahead of their Premier League opener against Nottingham Forest on August 12 they first have to take on Manchester City, a true test of their credentials. Although the Community Shield rarely acts as a true precursor for failure or success in a season, in fact it is often the opposite, having lost out to Pep Guardiola’s side at the top last year, Mikel Arteta will be determined to get off on a positive note here. It is a true curtain…
Liverpool face a race against time to get their summer business done before they kick off their new league season against Chelsea on August 13. Klopp made two early midfield additions, and both Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai have featured in pre-season. However, with Jordan Henderson and Fabinho completing moves to the Saudi Pro League, further reinforcements could be required in the middle of the park. That’s not the only area of focus for the Reds, who will be looking to improve on last season’s fifth-place finish in the Premier League. Here are the latest transfer lines from around Anfield. Brighton…
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola insists Liverpool must do more in the summer transfer window. The Spaniard admits other teams are currently ahead of what the Reds have achieved in this market. Liverpool have made two signings so far, bringing in Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai for a combined initial fee of £95million. Jurgen Klopp had to make up for the midfield departures of James Milner, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. However, the German has since lost a further two experienced options in the middle of the park. Jordan Henderson and Fabinho have both left for the Saudi Pro League in mega-money deals. Guardiola himself hasn’t…
The Reds have little over a week now to get any outstanding business done should they wish any potential additions be involved in their opening Premier League fixture against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. It remains to be seen if or when a third offer is launched for Southampton’s Romeo Lavia, who might be in Championship action for his current club this evening – one to keep an eye on. Otherwise rumours continue to link Andre Trindade of Fluminense, while Brighton & Hove Albion have dealt a blow to anyone monitoring Moises Caicedo with their transfer stance. Lavia fails to feature…
