According to Oliver Kahn, an extension of Jerome Boateng's contract with FC Bayern is not ruled out completely.

I would like to see Jerome playing another season for FC Bayern (for a fair wage ofc). Let's see what happens.  

Totally agree with you that it would make sense for Bayern to keep Boateng for another season. Especially when the rumors are true that the Bayern bosses aren't really happy with Süle either (weight and fitness level). These were probably nothing bur rumors but still Bayern surely doesn't want to rebuild their central defense completely from scratch.

Some journalists here in Italy are talking/asking about Conte's discharge.
Be aware I don't think it will never happen since Conte has another 18 months contract for around 15m €.

Who is so idiot to trash 15m of Euro? No one.

A solution could be the sack ma again, 15m free from the president in Covid times seems not a possibility...

Indeed, if we are look at the financial condition it is impossible. However, if the club wants instant results, then this can happen. The results of the matches achieved by Inter Milan under Conte so far not been able to find a good scheme. From 10 matches in all competitions, they can only win 2 times, of course this can be a consideration for Inter Milan board to sack Conte. If it happens, this will be a the biggest failure for Conte in his career as coach. Because he couldn't give any title, that he could give for Juventus and Chelsea. Of course, maybe to early to decide to sack him, since every team need a time to adapt with his coach.

@coinlocket$ I personally feel that it’s the wrong decision to sack Conte, because he’s put together a decent squad and now all he needs is some more time for the results to show. @masulum let’s hope that he doesn’t get the sack, because I strongly believe that he can galvanise Inter Milan to win many league titles in the long run.

I was among those who were very disappointed with Inter Milan's performance, especially after experiencing the defeat against Real Madrid.
It is very clear that Conte's strategy is ineffective, too pushy to play Vidal, and cannot maximize Eriksen's ability. I see Conte can't innovate,
always relies on his tactics 3-4-1-2.

I agree with giving Conte more time to improve Inter's game, but if Conte doesn't change his strategy, Inter will still be playing badly. As for
the rumors of Conte's dismissal, I also believe Inter Milan will not do this. The remaining compensation for Conte's contract, which is still of
considerable high, is the reason Inter Milan's management will not fire Conte.

He hasn’t been at the very highest level for a while now, he must be on a high wage, maybe they should bring in somebody younger. What is happening with the future of David Alaba?

[sana54210]

I would say Alli would definitely be a good addition to Everton and even with the current line up he would be right fit and someone else would be put on bench. Not right away of course, because there is a chemistry type of deal, he would be a great bench player that gets playing time in almost every single game. However after like 7-10 games he will solidify his position as a starting eleven kind of guy.

Camavinga news is a bit shocking to me since dude is very very young, and I understand that these teams buy players when they are very young so that they could later sell them for a lot more money, but usually there is like this middle team before these players go to Madrid or Juve. Like how Haaland moved from molde first to salzburg and now to dortmund and from there he will probably go to Madrid or Bayern.

I also hope he won't push for a transfer to a top club instantly. Even Mbappe, who is a class apart, did not instantly go to Real or City or a club like that. PSG is a top 10 team as well but plays in a weaker league, where he knew he'd get more opportunities and time to develop.

The right path for Camavinga would maybe even be to stay at Rennes for another season before moving, and then he should be moving to a club that will give him minutes without too much pressure being put on him.

The problem there is that Rennes is apparently looking for a fee of 80+ million euros and that kind of money can spend only a few clubs in which Camavinga would not be in the starting 11.

[slaman29]

I don't think that Alli will ho hor a move to Everton they have a good number of attacking midfielders so he wouldn't change his current team bench for Everton's unless Everton is in a good spot in January also he would be guaranteed a numbers of games to start in. As for Camavinga he is now getting interest from both Juve and Real Madrid  as he will be entering his last year for Rennes he will be more likely to leave in the summer and I'm sure more interested parties will join the hunt to get him which will make his price go high for a player that still have only one year left in his contract.

Well he was always losing his brownie points with Poch I thought, and then for a while we thought ok, new injections of confidence and full of life with the new coach Mourinho, but his old weaknesses come to the top. He's always been lightweight and I'd be careful of going to Everton now where he's not even maybe as good as the current front players. Just remember Moise Kean.

[daarul50]

Seems that Ancelotti will try to go for Dele Alli. It would be a gamble, but on paper looks like a good risk for Everton.
Alli is completely cut off from the team by Mourinho and has showed he's a player with a lot of talent under Pochettino, he's also a homegrown player and a transfer would make a lot of sense for all parties considered. Tottenham would probably be able to finance the Bale transfer then.

Also, it seems that the fight for Camavinga has begun. Apparently, he's looking for a new agent and pushing for a move from Rennes. That kid looks really good, I wonder where he will end up next.

I even heard a rumor that dele alli set to move for manchester united a long with pochettino, that is the better story for me.
Big bet indeed if everton try to do another expensive transfer, bad business especially during the pandemic that it is advised to spend money as wise as possible.
Cavaminga need more matches in higher league level , staying at ligue 1 wont make him a better player so yes we are all understand the reason of this transfer could happened this january.

They got a meeting before the start of the season for the potential sack of Conte.
They were closed with the president and layers for hours, I think 4-6.

Everyone in their room wanted to remove Conte from his job after what he did last year but for COVID's economic problem they didn't.

They couldn't pay 25m to Conte and 10 to a new coach so they kept him against their will...

[kawetsriyanto]

If that news is true, it will become a bad news for Tottenham Hotspur. AFAIK, Dele Alli is one of the player who has a big role in the middle field of Tottenham. I don't see any other players who can replace his position there. I will be a big lose for Tottenham if he really leaves the club to Man. United. I think Tottenham president and all management must prevent his move by offering something to make him stays.

Are you even following tottenham situation recently?
Dele alli position has been replaced by ndombele and or lo celso at least in the last couple matches where they superbly defend the unbeaten record until today.
The rumor come up after this situation and given the fact that tottenham under mourinho without dele alli  looks even like a better team, he is rumored to be allowed to leave.
Bit yes if he choose a loyalty to tottenham and stay , he should worm harder and get his place back which it is doubted.

If so, then the only way was to wait for the contract to expire. What is worried about this case is, Conte is unable to develop the team well, because it could be that Inter would choose not to fulfill Conte's request to buy players. On the other hand, Inter Milan's performance can help secure Conte's position and to buy new player for the next transfer window. I think, both Inter and Conte are currently in a zone that has no clear direction and goals in team development.

Inter Milan only available get free player and have option for loan player only because the owner of Inter Milan financial not like Juventus where Andrea Pirlo is free to buy any player he wants, I think after Massimo Moratti sell Inter Milan to Erick Thohir until have new president now Inter Milan faced with financial crisis and can't buy with star player, almost player like Sanchez, Lukaku, Young and the last with Vidal get with cheapest price from their old club because they have lower price right now, maybe if Inter Milan wanna get back scudetto they have brave to get star player and exactly with young and potential player like Sancho, Haarland and many young player right now,

[RealMalatesta]

I really do not believe that this year could be considered "cheap" by any team because if they decline to pay for any player, they have a very very valid reason. We may end up seeing a lot more top heavy teams in the near future just because of this season as well.

Many lower level teams (and I include even Inter into this) will not have too much profit, football is already something very expensive and usually teams do not make any profit, so at the end of the day with covid and less profits teams will have bigger and bigger debt. What these huge teams who constantly make a profit compared to others, and I mean huge teams like Madrid, juventus, bayern and similar big clubs, they could just get all the players smaller teams had to let go and they could sign their own players for cheaper because nobody else can pay them more.

I don't see any other players who can replace his position there. I will be a big lose for Tottenham if he really leaves the club to Man. United.

That was prolly during the pochettino era as head coach of Spurs, but under Jose, Dele has been a shadow of himself, he's not getting game time and that's worrying for his young career, what's more worrying (for Ali) is Spurs seem to have found a winning team without him, and it's bad for a player when he's on the bench and the team gels so well and are winning, the manager has no reason to change anything, as long as the performance and winning streak is good, and I can understand if there are rumors of Ali leaving.

Having said that, it's going to be a loss if they lose him to Manchester United or any EPL rivals, Dele is good and they could just be strengthening their rivals, so even if Spurs are willing to sell, a team in another league will do for me.

In fact, almost all teams are affected by the corona pandemic, including Inter Milan experiencing a financial crisis. Therefore, Inter Milan's
transfer policy is very limited. I agree Inter Milan can only get free players or loan players for now. It is not possible for Inter Milan to buy
star players now, so Conte as a coach must be able to take advantage of existing players. I think Conte lacks creativity and innovation in
formulating tactics, therefore Inter's performance has been very bad in the last few games.

new transfer rumours about the right winger Florian Thauvin from olympique marseille

Milan confirm interest in Thauvin - Among most valuable free agents next summer

[kawetsriyanto]

~it's bad for a player when he's on the bench and the team gels so well and are winning,~

Well, if the situation is like that, leaving should be the solution. I agree it is bad if a quality player like him only on the bench. It will destroy his career if the coach never changes the situation. Jose may have his own style, I don't think Dele Alli isn't on the formation because his quality/performance is decreasing but Jose probably needs a player who has ability stronger in defense. By the way, it is very unfortunate to let Dele Alli just sit on the bench.

Yes.
This isn't an easy solution and Conte is careless about Inter, Why?
I can make an example, this year in the summer he wanted only "old" players with an experience like Kolarov and Vidal only to make the shot, to try to win something and then leave at the end of this year leaving Inter with old and useless player.

I mean he even ruined Eriksen, one of the strongest players in the world? is now almost officially in the market this January.
I think he played 20 games in 1 year with maybe only 10 games form the start "because Conte wants the 3-5-2"

Transfer rumours:

Borussia Dortmund's sporting director Michael Zorc says he can see Norway striker Erling Braut Haaland at the club "for a long time". Wishfull thinking? 
Anderlecht's Belgian centre-back Marco Kana, says Liverpool would be his dream transfer move. A subtle offer of oneself to a beloved club? 
AC Milan's technical director Paolo Maldini admits interest in France winger Florian Thauvin. Milan is getting stronger?
English striker Joe Garner, is quitting Wigan Athletic mid-season after agreeing a move to the Indian Super League. An interesting decision.
