Just heard...  LFC is interested in signing Adama Traore.  I hope it happens.  It's about time he's given a break at a big club imo.  And he's surely gonna improve under Klopp.

I don't like that guy for Liverpool. Maybe I am wrong but it seems to me that Traore is very limited tactically and that he just uses his extraordinary athletic abilities to make the difference. Furthermore, he sort of takes the ball and doesn't give it to anybody until he looses it or manages to break the flank. Nothing wrong with that but that sort of plays are not for the biggest clubs in the world where all your teammates are top notch and love to have time on the ball as well.

I can see him only as a last 15 minutes sub to take advantage of tiring defenses when things aren't going LFC way, or to exploit counter attacks when they do.

According to the Football Espana report, Newcastle have made an official approach to the Barcelona player who is currently on loan at Bayern Munich.  Although there is no certainty yet about the salary or contract that will be offered by the Magpies to Coutinho, it is likely that the amount will be high.

In addition, two of the main candidates for Newcastle new coach, Mauricio Pochettino and Rafael Benitez, are reported to have agreed if the club brings Coutinho.  Reportedly indeed Pochettino and Benitez, who also briefly coached Newcastle, were plotted to replace the current manager, Steve Bruce.

Adama Traore is not a necessary signing for Liverpool right now. They have two pacey forwards in Salah and Mane. Mane also has that physical ability to go one on one against defenders. Adama Traore would just be more of a liability IMO and will be more of a bench warmer just like Shaqiri

Traore has scored only 5 premier league goals for Wolves, that's poor imo, he may not be a striker, but for a wing forward 5 goals in two seasons is below standard and that's not the level that can take him to Liverpool. Traore is heavily built and he's strong, so he most times bullies defenders; but other than that many times he just overplays and outruns with the ball, no skills, he is not a good passer or dribbler and doesn't score, for me Traore is so average, if not below.

I can see him only as a last 15 minutes sub to take advantage of tiring defenses when things aren't going LFC way, or to exploit counter attacks when they do.

Or kept for the carabao cup and FA cup games, when Klopp will most likely give first team players a rest.

^  Nope.  Werner.  Perfect fit.  IMHO.

The thing is Mane could go to Real.  At least that's what the rumors are.  And Trofo's prolly right.  He could be a sub and could prove useful at cup games.  To his defense, he's still young and has a lot of potential to improve.  He obv has the ability.  Maybe he'll break through under Klopp..?

Some fresh news from Italy.

Arthur is almost a NONO thing now, Barca still interested in Pjanic, Juventus wants 50m or an equivalent player.
Inter wants 111m€, not 1 € less for Lautaro Martinez.

Inter wants 70m€ for Icardi, PSG has 2 days to decide.
Inter maybe can ask less if PSG can convince Cavani to go to Inter for free.

Some fresh news from Italy.
Arthur is almost a NONO thing now, Barca still interested in Pjanic, Juventus wants 50m or an equivalent player.

I don't know who suggested Arthur's swap for Pjanic, it's funny TBH. Although their current market values are close but Pjanic's value will decline in coming years because he's already 30. But Arthur on the other hand is just 23 and not to forget that he is good fit for Barca DNA. I love that guy, he is my third favorite player just next to Messi and KDB. The way he moves ball in the midfield is spectacular, it's almost impossible to take the ball off his feet. The only issue with him currently is that he moves ball sideways too often but with time I think he can make those strategic Xavi type passes in the box too. If he keep playing good, he may become Barca legend in coming years. It would to funny to lose him for some 30 years old basic midfielder.

Inter wants 111m€, not 1 € less for Lautaro Martinez.

It may sound bizarre but I no longer want Lautaro's arrival to Camp Nou. Braithwaite really stole the show with his cameo in last few La Liga matches. I didn't expect him to have such pace and precision but he was wonderful. The way he sprint with ball provides much needed pace in Barca forward line. Now Suarez will be fit too so if Suarez and Braithwaite can together give good 90 minutes in front then who needs Martinez. Not to forget Trincao coming next season too. Kid is astounding player, I expect him to perform much better than Dembele.

Adding one small thing,

in Italy, the next market session should be from 1st September to 5th October.
This is obvious in a situation like this without a second wave of COVID19.

[Daniel91]

It seems that Icardi still continues to play in Paris SG for 50 million euros plus 8m more in variables.
Caio Henrique will return to Atletico Madrid.
It seems that Paul Pogba is not returning to Real because Manchester United is asking too much
Atletico Madrid, Inter and Liverpool are fightingto bring in Timo Werner. Who will eventually bring him?

If there will be an another wave of outbreak in Italy, I think people teams can not think about transfer season.
And yet, transfer activity should still be done. However, if the epidemic continues in a few waves, we can see pauses in the next season.

Icardi is almost a PSG player for the price of 50+7 milions from Inter.
Don't clear if Inter will use this money to pay Lukaku-Barella or if they are going as someone is saying for Tonali.

Meanwhile small rumor about Juventus Pogba I don't know how much trust put on this info but we maybe have 2 offers

70m € in 3 years payment
80m € in 4 years payment.

[verita1]

I see that these first attempts to summarize the sport especially football. It is that the organizers and teams are more prepared and aware of what it is to get ahead in the face of the virus. There is a strategic plan (logistics, health protocols, funds, etc.) so that everything goes well is the impression I have after seeing the news. Consequently, all members, teams and athletes will demonstrate immunity to the virus and that will be a contribution to science and the calendar in this session market could be successfully followed.
 

[SquallLeonhart]

Werner would be great for Liverpool, they are already doing awesome right now and they rarely ever play a striker, they play with firmino as a false 9 but that could go along for so long, people will eventually figure out their tactics and that is the death of many teams, even Barcelona who won like multiple cups each season for a while back in the day (pep days with xavi and iniesta and so forth) eventually started to lose badly only because everyone in the world figured out how they were playing and created a solution to it.

So, if Liverpool wants to continue being good, they will have to switch things up and with Firmino behind Werner they would be offensively amazing, well they currently are already but they will continue to be like that and create this new enigma at least.

Wow, that’s a great deal for PSG to get Icardi, he’s well worth that kind of money. I do wonder if we’ll see many big deals though due to the financial mess covid19 will have created.

I guess we just have to watch this space.

[coinlocket$]

It was a good negotiation the final price should be as said 50 million +4 million easily reachable bonuses and 3-4 million 2 if the PSG arrives in the Champions League final and another 2 if it wins the cup.
It is not yet clear whether they are 57 or 58 total, different sources report a different price.
Let's say that 9 times out of 10 Icardi has cost 54 million.

Good price but 20% off due to COVID, the original price agreed last year was 70 million.
We have to see if the future sales will all be carried out with this 20% devaluation

[Upgrade00]

Icardi is almost a PSG player for the price of 50+7 milions from Inter.

He has impressed at the Parc de Princes during his loan period and would be a great permanent addition to the club. Inter also made a move to prevent him joining their close rivals in the near future by adding what goal reports to be an 'anti juve' clause to the contract which is set to be completed anytime soon.

Liverpool are showing interest in Dembele, as a contingency plan should they fail to get Wermer. The Frenchman has two years left on his contract, but has failed to hit his full potential after 3 seasons at Barcelona.

EPL: Chelsea to sign Chukwueze with Sancho likely to join Man Utd

Just came across this news on my timeline and I got the urge to share with the community for some insight thought. The breakdown of the article simple highlighted that Lampard is targeting the Nigeria international and Villarreal’s winger Samuel Chukwueze. Sure he might not be that popular like the big names in the market but the kid is good and if been properly developed on, he'll delivery brilliantly. He isn't short of skills and got some number of goals to his name too.

I'm a big fan of his not just because he's from my country but I have watched him play both for his country and current club timelessly and performed perfectly. Any football fan and most especially Chelsea fans seeing this, what do you think about this kid, will he have an impact if this rumors becomes a reality. You can Google about him for better knowledge.

[Coyster]

Any football fan and most especially Chelsea fans seeing this, what do you think about this kid, will he have an impact if this rumors becomes a reality.

I'm not a Chelsea fan, but I've watched Chukwueze play, both in Spain for Villarreal and for the Nigerian national team and I'm a fan of his; he is fast and strong, skillful and can score goals and best of all he is very young(21). Chelsea will be signing a precocious lad if they sign him.

Frank Lampard likes young players, so Samuel Chukwueze's age will be a delight for the English manager, who I think will be a good fit in the premier league and under a young coach like Lampard, the article did not state any official bid from Chelsea, has any been made?
