Finally he is gone. Khedira to Hertha Berlin confirmed and official

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.

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?

I think is a 6 months deal at least is what they are saying here: https://www.juventusnews24.com/khedira-hertha-berlino-contratto-fine-giugno-2021-dettagli-calciomercato-juve/

Ah, thanks for the information. That's even better for Hertha BSC. If he can help the team, he will probably stay longer - if not, they can look for a new player in the summer. Anyway, let's see how this transfer turns out. The opponent this weekend is FC Bayern München. 


We also have some news from Liverpool FC:

FC Liverpool signed the 25 year-old defender Ben Davies.

Welcome to the Reds, Ben Davies.

According to transfermarkt the Ozan Kabak - FC Liverpool deal is only a matter of minutes.

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).

https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/brendan-rodgers-confident-midfield-signing-4950129

Ndidi is one of their most dependable midfielder once he is injured the team always felt his absence, presently he is injured and the lapses as a result of his absence is felt in the team, Chalobah no doubt will be a good signing however when ndidi returns, Chalobah will definitely sit on benched at least Leciester will have another option which is good for the team

Liverpool have acted excellently and gotten 2 centre backs to bolster their defensive options and importantly allow the midfield of Henderson, thiago and Wijhalum to thrive. It remains to be seen how the defensive signings will blend to the premier league; atleast Liverpool have less injury records to worry about as the champions league resumes in few weekks

It was a very good decision by Liverpool to bring in two center backs, because now Liverpool's defense is really worrying. After several Liverpool
center backs were injured at the same time. Like Van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joe Matip. While those available in the reserves are Rhys Williams and
Nathaniel Phillips who are still very young. But what Liverpool need is an experienced center back, so bringing in Ben Davies and Ozan Kabak is a must.
Moreover, in a few weeks Liverpool will have to face Leipzig in the Champions League.

Does anyone from Premier confirmed the offer from Liverpool to Demiral? Don't follow Fabrizio Romano for Juventus.

Finally, we can actually start addressing our defense problems now that we have Davies and Kabak. I thought LFC would be too slow to finish one before the transfer deadline that I think has just been crossed but we got a blessing, two deals at the same time! (I know this deadline only applies to international transfers so they could've got Davies later, but why though? We needed a defender ASAP)

They need Davies in particular, from what I understand, because there's an empty CB position in the Chanpions League that they must fill with a domestic player, and not with one from abroad, so Kabak cannot be included in such a squad.

We're still at a little disadvantage against RB Leipzig though, we are only at a 24-man squad because VVD is taking a spot but he's injured and can't be unregistered from the champions league squad. Besides why unregister him anyway, he's a world-class defender and will be very useful if we ever make it to the semi-finals. Maybe even to the quarter-finals if he recovers fast enough

But coming back to the present, while Fabinho and Matip are injured we don't want to overplay Nat. We definitely do not want him to get injured too.

EDIT: I just read that Matip is going to miss the rest of the season too. Damn it

Kovalenko transferred to Atalanta today. However, he will not be able to play at Atalanta because of the limit on the number of players not from the European Union. And most likely he will be sent to Genoa on rent.

Atalanta B.C. announce the permanent signing of footballer Viktor from Shakhtar Donetsk.

Arsenal are off-loading their players heavily whether it be on a permanent transfer or loan. Just recently they have sent Maitland-Niles on loan to West Brom also they are also considering moving Willock to Newcastle on loan as well. They are quite some talent but guess Arteta feels he has got everything he needs for now for the remainder of the season.

As for Liverpool, they did well to sign some defenders and sent Minamino to Southampton on loan. How do you feel about this? (Liverpool fans)

Yeah.  They become partners in the national team.Butgenerally, Çağlar Söyüncü and demiral partner together.  Ozan Kabak is only 21 years old and a very successful career awaits him.  I believe it.  It was a great transfer for Liverpool.We are proud of such transfers more with our Turkish players in Turkey.

Liverpool will be fine without him for the time being. Southampton have a huge goal scoring drought and Minamino is a good striker. He hasn't featured in the starting XI or substituted in much because Klopp has more preferred strikers he'd like to start off with (Salah, Mane, Firmino, Jota).

Soton need a man who can reinforce Danny Ings because although he is good, I feel the rest of them are mediocre. The nice thing about this for Minamino is that he will get more playing time (for one he will definitely be in the starting XI, because it makes no sense to blow money on players only to leave them on the bench, unless you are Real Madrid  ). I feel that Soton might even try to make him a permanent transfer after this season if he proves good enough for them.

It looks like Ozan Kabak was already a big fan of Virgil van Dijk. Check out his Tweet from 2018.

Great that he now has the opportunity to watch him from the bench!

Ozan Kabak to Liverpool looks like a done deal unless something major changes, he passed his medical and ready to play for LFC. I believe he is not going to be a great change to the teams roster, but he is definitely a good enough defender that he could be used for the bench, they already lost VVD and that is a horrible injury for them and missing one of the most important players, but with Ozan they will not replace him for sure, that requires players worth 50+ million instead, VVD is too good to be replaced easily.

But at the end of the day they were down one defender and got another defender, even if not the same quality at least they could have the numbers back up again for rotation pieces. Paying 2.8 million for the loan is basically nothing for them, they make that money from probably just one game, and it was just a "just in case" transfer for them.

According to rumours, Manchester City have joined the race to sign Inter midfielder Achraf Hakimi (22) who is also wanted by Chelsea and Arsenal. He was a Real Madrid player but on loan at Dortmund before coming to Inter on last September. He has played in 27 games so far. He scored 6 goals and made 5 assists.

I was really really hoping for some transfer news for Spurs but it seems the clubs all around have not really done anything. I see good signings for Arsenal (oh no Spurs) and Liverpool got 2 new centerbacks,,, not sure about the "cheap" guy from Preston but their German defender will probably be a good stop measure. Liverpool new defence good enough you think?

It's official Mayland Niles has joined West Brom on loan from Arsenal. I have not expected but indeed it's happened. He played a big role in couple of matches and brings in a lot to the team. He will be missed and hopefully come back much more stronger.

This sounds like a really good move from WBA side. They needed to add some extra qoulity to their squad. Not so sure from Niles perspective, it is tough to get into the team fighting to avoid relegation and even if he gets first teams starts WBA does not have a lot of ball possession and it will be tough for him to show his prowes.

The transfer window is closed & rumours will slow down now until the summer. Most January deals were low value & loans, probably due to the financial hit clubs are experiencing due to covid.
