Werner will be hot property in the summer, no way he goes to Spurs. The very biggest clubs will be interested, without any disrespect to Spurs there will be bigger trophy winning clubs ready to take him.

This is true. I don't think that he is going to choose Liverpool - even though he is going to make the Reds very strong in the next couple of years - but I think that Barcelona is going to be interested in him. German players doesn't have good tradition with Barcelona but I think that Werner is going to be the exception to this.

I think he’ll end up at Liverpool, he’s very quick & aggressive. I think his style of play suits the PL & there’s the Klopp factor which I guess could be a pull for a German player.

Yup...  It mostly comes down to style.  I used to watch Leipzig during their first season at the Bundesliga every now and then, still managed by Hassenhutl, they'd defend and Werner and Forsberg would run soooo fast on the counter.  

Werner's gonna fit right in at LFC taking Firmino's role imo.

Looks like the Leroy Sané transfer goes to a new chapter..   What do you guys think, will Leroy stay at Manchester City in the end? Or will he move to FC Bayern München? In my opinion, after hard negotiations, Leroy Sané will be transferred for about €80m - €100m to FC Bayern München, but thats still very speculative. Things could go one way or another. Let's see how this transfer develops.. I will keep you guys posted.

Leroy Sané will consider staying at Manchester City beyond this season, offering hope he could sign a new contract at the Etihad Stadium. Sané is understood to be refusing to rule out remaining at City, with Bayern yet to make clear their summer plans [@mcgrathmike]

I do not think any club would be willing to spend so much on Leroy Sane after being sidelined for close to a year now.
The fitness level, and chances of injury reoccurences is unclear to everyone and Bayern to begin with would not pay such fee.

I think sane needs to be calm, fit and firing before thinking about a move away from City

[tokeweed]

^  Yup...  You never can tell tho.  The transfer market has been insane for like almost 10 years now.  Lol.  But yeah, I guess if there was a club who spends smart, it's Bayern.

You could be right on that. It looks like FC Bayern München is more focussing on a centre back than a winger, which again makes Dayot Upamecano a possible target for a transfer to Munich. I am really excited for the next transfer period, since so many interesting transfers might happen!

The topic Leroy Sané will be further discussed. But internally there are doubts about the transfer, which - among other things - will depend on the financial situation [Kicker]

The club sees a bigger need to sign a right footed centre back than a winger. Dayot Upamecano - who can leave Leipzig in the summer for €60m - is an option. [Kicker]

Coutinho sold to Barca for £140,000,000 & the money spent on VVD & Alisson was pretty smart business at the time

As you may know, the deal for Ibra to Milan is for 6 months.

After these 6 months, he maybe goes to Monza, the new team of Berlusconi family/Galliani according to rumors.

Next year they will probably on Serie B and I doubt Ibra will be happy to end his carrier on second league...

Berlusconi and Galliani is the reason why he was sold to PSG just to have some profit in the first place why would you think Zlatan will want to play for them again? Obviously Zlatan loves Milan that's why he went back but if it weren't for Berlusconi leaving AC Milan he wouldn't be re-joining them during the last transfer window. Also Zlatan does'n have that much youth left to join a rebuild at this level where they need to be promoted twice to be in Serie A, they'll be winning a lot of games of course but Zlatan will be overqualified in that kind of league.

Bayern has the ability to spend smart because they have a lot of talents coming from their under 20 coming from.
This way they cannot only sell those talents to other teams that do not spend smart, but also they have the ability to cover empty spots in their line ups with those players.

[bullrun2024bro]

Even if Jérôme Boateng played a lot better during the last games, it still looks like he is going to move to another club this summer. I am pretty sure on the one hand he doesn't want to stay at Bayern and on the other hand Bayern doesn't want to give him a new contract. There are many rumors that English and Italian clubs are interested in signing him. Let's see how this transfer will develop over the next few weeks.

Jérôme Boateng is unlikely to stay at Bayern beyond this season despite his current form. Boateng's form is a win win situation for both parties as the player would attract suitors in the transfer market & Bayern would get a bigger fee than they would have gotten weeks ago [Sky]

[bullrun2024bro]

It looks like Ivan Perišić might stay at FC Bayern München. €15m sounds still a little high for the 31 year-old left-forward. His performances for Bayern were "ok" I guess. He's the classic back-up if someone from the first line gets injured. Let's wait and see if he stays in Munich beyond the summer. I would give this rumour about 70%.

Bayern are concretely considering to sign Ivan Perišić permanently from Inter. Perišić is happy at Bayern & despite a €20m figure that was agreed between both clubs, Inter could even let the Croatian join Bayern for only €15m, in order to secure the sale. [@FcInterNewsit]

That's not entirely true tho...  Bayern is known to poach talent from their competition at the Bundesliga too.  And it feels like if a player goes to Bayern, he sold his soul.

Can we expect to see some spectacular transfers this summer? mostly because of Coronavirus.
Stoping all competitions and not playing brings huge losses to all clubs. those who do not have stable incomes or money reserve they will find yourself in a big problem for two months. Small clubs will be forced to sell some of his potentials also, super expensive players like Neymar, Pogba etc... it is difficult to expect some move for them
will this make an even bigger difference between several rich clubs and the rest of Europe?

After the Manchester City ban, I am waiting to see how many players get off the team. I am actually thinking of some big names especially De bruyne and Sterling. There were also some rumours of Pep being at Juventus next. What do you guys think?

BTW Real Madrid are targeting Liverpool winger Sadio Mane. I don't think that Mane will be interested in joining Madrid. He is doing so well at Liverpool. What do you guys think about that.

Every player is for sale at the right price, I don’t think Mane will leave. More likely Salah could go, I don’t know why but I see him as more attainable than Mane.

I think that Mane is going to show some interest in a transfer move to Real Madrid.
Salah is older than Mane and he has made his career cycle - pretty much successfully.
Mane is more prone to a move than Salah.

I do think that Manchester city appeal for the ban to be overturned will be delayed by the virus, which needs to be contained sooner.
While sterling has reiterated his wishes to continue at city irrespective of whatever happens.

I do not think Madrid are targeting Mane, i think Madrid core target is PSG Mbappe, which will fill the missing void in Madrid's attack

My bet is also on Mbappe or even Erling Braut Håland in a couple of years since they are much younger as compared to Mane or Salah. They have lots of players they first need to get rid of that can position on the left side or right side of the attack. So buying Mane or Salah when they just acquired Hazard and still have Vinicious, Bale, Rodrygo, Lucas, Rodriguez would make no sense

Manchester City’s important players have already confirmed that they won’t be leaving the club because of the ban, but there’re various rumours online which state that Mahrez will be sold at the end of the season. @JeromeTash I’m not surprised to see that Real Madrid is targeting Mane as he’s a proven serial winner, and he’ll be cheaper alternative in comparison to Mbappe or Halland.

Yes you are right, United triggered their option to extend for an extra year on MATICS Contract, while negotiating a new long term deal.
He has been a good cover, leader and got very improved in his role this season.

And with 14 cleansheet in 20 games, tells how much about the massive job that matics done in the united team. Now is the time to get a young replacement to learn from matic time to time
