Talks of Ramos leaving Madrid for United is an odd one, I don't know how true this news is, or if it's just a rumor,

It is just a rumor, don't believe it.  
I don't think Ramos will go to Man United for his next career. Yep, he wants to play in Real Madrid till the end of his professional career. As he is Real Madrid's captain, the coach must keep him on the team. Moreover, he already has a big achievement in Real Madrid. Club management should consider letting him stay on the team longer.

Even though it is still just a rumor, it is possible that Sergio will actually move closer to Old Trafford, because apparently, he was also interested to join Man United (https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/13901553/sergio-ramos-man-utd-transfer-beckham-real-madrid/).

But I think any club that is able to fulfill Sergio Ramos' wages, then the club will have a big chance to sign him.

The transfer window closes for the PL tomorrow (1st Feb) 23:00 GMT. Many media sources are saying Liverpool WILL sign a CB before the window closes & oh my, we have been desperate for cover since VVD & Gomes got season ending injuries months ago. I’m intrigued to see who we might bring in.

Don't jump with joy just yet
Apparently the guy we chose is Ben Davies from Preston North End, the fee is 2 millin pounds because he's out of contract in the summer.

I've never seen him play (or heard of him), according to Transfermarkt h was in their first 11 for 4 seasons in the Championship.

Here's a quick video I found. Looks decent for 2 million but I still expect him to be behind both Fabinho and Henderson when we are picking the team.

transfer rumor from german sport magazine kicker.de
Sami Khedira joins hertha bsc berlin from juventus turin

They really needed that kind of signing ^{[I know he's old now but still a quality one]}...
^{- It's going to be a permanent deal until June 2023 [source].}

Apparently the guy we chose is Ben Davies from Preston North End, the fee is 2 millin pounds because he's out of contract in the summer.

I guess it's safe to say that we're ^{[Arsenal fans]} not going to see Mustafi leaving the club
Realistically I think we're ^[Arsenal] going to loan out Joe Willock ^[Newcastle], Ainsley Maitland-Niles ^[Leicester] and probably Reiss Nelson as well while only signing ^{[on loan]} Patrick Van Aanholt from Crystal Palace ^{[we really need a backup option for our LB]}...
^{- I don't think other rumors have some weight [signing a CB and getting rid of Mustafi and etc...].}

Getting annoyed that our owners don’t seem to be willing to buy a CB. Our season has been ruined due to long term injuries to VVD & Gomez. Surely it makes sense to sign a CB otherwise we might end up fighting to get top 4.
I appreciate COVID19 has hit teams finances but it’ll be even worse if we don’t get CL football. Speculate to accumulate, it makes business sense surely.

What is a CB?

Btw don't you think the fan tokens would make a significant difference in those decision making?

Could fan tokens in anyway liberalize club funds? become a new source of revenue especially for the billions that watch football on screen rather than on club grounds?

Centerback, if you bet on football how could you not know what CB is? And what on eart are you talking about fan tokens? Juventus has fan tokens but all you can do is choose the kit color and choose which song to play in the stadium if they score a goal. You think fans know better than owners? 10 clubs will all have their fans ask for Messi or Ronaldo (10 years ago) and then what, should they all bid for the same player?

Fabrizio Romano has negated the offer for Liverpool to Juventus for Demiral @50m £. Keep in mind he is an Inter fan and spread any kind of s**t when he can against Juventus.

[cryptofrka]

Liverpool is still trying to sign another centreback. They have been rejected by Marseille for Duje Ćaleta-Car but apparently Ozan Kabak is having his medical now.

Germany's transfer deadline is 5PM, the deal must be done before then. Schalke apparently asking for 30 mil. euro, with Shkodran Mustafi as a replacement in case Kabak leaves.

Not sure what to think, I've never seen Kabak play. Not really impressed with this.

deadline transfer updates:

Bryan Reynolds

Roma have registered Bryan Reynolds with the league, seemingly ending a transfer saga that started all the way back in December. Linked to multiple clubs and subject to various speculations, the FC Dallas right-back is on the verge of a landmark deal that will see him head from Major League Soccer to Serie A.

Nemanja Radonjic

The Serbian international (20 caps) is already on his way to the medical check. Hertha wants to loan out the left winger until the end of the season. The contract is to include a loan fee in the mid-high six-figure range plus deployment bonuses and an option to buy for twelve million euros in the summer.

Viktor Kovalenko

Viktor Kovalenko (24) is moving from Shakhtar Donetsk to Atalanta Bergamo. The Ukrainian midfielder's contract would have expired at the end of the season, so the Champions League eighth-finalist is paying less than a million euros.

Shkodran Mustafi

Jean-Clair Todibo

Because things didn't go as planned at Benfica, FC Barcelona is likely to loan defender Jean-Clair Todibo directly on to Nice. However, the Ligue 1 club is said to have secured a purchase option worth ten million euros.

Leicester City want to sign Watford defensive midfielder Nathaniel Chalobah (26) on the deadline day. But Leicester have many options on that position (Wilfred Ndidi, Hamza Choudhury, Nampalys Mendy and Daniel Amartey).

Oussama Idrissi will go from Sevilla to Ajax to replace Quincy Promes who will go back to Spartak Moscow..

Since David Alaba will leave FC Bayern München this summer, the FC Bayern is looking for a new defender. David Upamecano, who is currently playing for RB Leipzig, could be the perfect replacement.

Karl-Heinz Rummenigge on Upamecano: "There are two other clubs interested in Dayot. We will lose David Alaba. It depends on the player now and how quickly he wants to make a decision" [@SkySportNewsHD via @Sky_MaxB]

The future of Jerome boateng also remains unclear. He might extent his contract at FC Bayern München for an additional year.

I haven't watched Kabak play too. I thought if we were going for a defender to fill in for the injured Van Dijk, Gomez and injury-prone matip, then it should be a well known defender at least. Anyway, if both Ben Davies and Kabak are completed before the deadline, it only means we'll have more defensive options to pick from pending when our injury defenders CBs get back.  People say a bird in hand is better than two in the bush. I will wait and see how both performs.

We’re desperate for specialist CB’s, I haven’t seen Kabak play but even if him signing means Fabinho & Hendo can go into CM it’s a good thing imo. We lose so much in CM without those two there.

[ShowOff]

Not sure what to think, I've never seen Kabak play. Not really impressed with this.

To be honest, I have never watched a Kabak game even though the current name seem quite familiar. Kabak has been a regular at Schalke 04 and has made 14 Bundesliga appearances for Schalke 04 so far for the 2020-2021 season. Given that he is a CB, I doubt his quality as Schalke 04 has conceded 49 goals in the BundesLiga in just 19 games. What made Liverpool interested in him ?

And we got another deadline day transfer: Joshua Zirkzee will join Parma Calcio on loan. According to German Sky Sports News Parma has an option to buy of €15m.

Official: Joshua Zirkzee has joined Parma on loan until the end of the season with an option to buy.

Khedira to Hertha Berlin confirmed and official

[acquafredda]

He is a great add for Hertha Berlin: the guy said he was tired of not being considered anymore. He has what, 3 to 5 more years to play? I bet Bundesliga is his right championship at the moment. Of course, Juventus is finally happy (unloading €4,6M from its balance sheet).
I personally always found him a great player but Juventus was not the best team for him: he has been a bit unlucky and I hope he will find the best possible environment at HB.

Everton striker Tosun Cenk return to Turkey on a loan deal to play under Besiktas.
Rumors that Arsenal defensive midfielder Lucas Torreira is in talks to join French side Monaco. He is now playing for Atletico Madrid have been loaned by arsenal in October last year and his loan runs out this summer.

I already posted in the German Bundesliga thread - but the transfer to Hertha BSC makes a lot of sense for both clubs. Juventus Turin gets a player who hasn't played a single minute this season off their payroll and Hertha BSC gets a decent midfielder with no transfer fee.

Furthermore, if he remains injury-free, Khedira could be a great addition to Hertha's squad. Since there is no information about the length of the contract, I wonder if he will stay longer than one or two years. Does anyone have any information on this?
