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.

I am happy for him on this deal. I think he is quite talented. He is also only 23 years old. I really liked him in some games when he was at Arsenal. Therefore, I think West Brom did a nice thing by signing him on loan. I believe he will make a good contribution to the team.

Kabak is a done deal -

Salvation at the last minute because after Van Dijk and Gomez Liverpool also lost another defensive player due to injury, Matip.
What a drama in the last hours for Liverpool but they managed to make a last-minute deal.

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.

It will depends a lot if Inter will pay Real or not.
They need to pay for him before 30 March, they already delayed the payment 1 time.

I agree with you it's a good thing for West Brom to be able to borrow Ainsley Maitland-Niles from Arsenal, because Maitland-Niles is a good player.
But he are unable to compete with senior players at Arsenal, I am sure Maitland-Niles will make a big contribution to West Brom. Actually I was
quite surprised by Arsenal who were quite active on the last day of the transfer market, after loaning Maitland-Niles to West Brom. Arsenal also
released Mustafi permanently to Schalke and Willock went on loan to Newcastle. Meanwhile Arsenal signed Martin Odegaard on loan. Arsenal's
movement in the transfer market indicates that Arteta is very serious about providing improvements at Arsenal. Hopefully Arsenal can enter
the top 4 this season

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.

I think this Ozan Kabak deal will definitely be a game changer for them. Ozan is a very young player and to be honest he is quite raw talent as well but under Klopp dude will have a lot of time to prove himself and be ready for the future.

His great chance is that VVD is gone for the rest of the season so he will get a lot of minutes, after VVD is back next year, he is going to have some time to play as well but if he shows how good he is during this period he will have a chance to play next year too, but if he fails, he will probably still be Liverpool player and be bought but I am afraid if he is bad he could not even be bought, just this loan and go back to his team again. Let's see whats going to happen, this turkish defensive thing is getting out of control, by this pace we gonna have at least 1 turkish defender in every team eventually.

Yep it wasn't a boring transfer window but if you see this numbers it really looks like it all getting back to normal. The last transfer windows they paid huge amounts for players which I think can't never be good. If you see that players are being transfered for 100mio+ then the market is inflated. All the clubs kept spending money they didn't had.

@dre1982 this is just the calm before the inflated transfers return in the summer transfer window, and buying player’s mid season is always difficult hence I had expected clubs to spend less during the winter transfer window.

Furthermore I’m expecting PSG, and Manchester United to spend big, and buy big player’s as they’ll need to shape their squad for champions league and league title challenge.

It's only good for Maitland-Niles cause it's a loan deal and there's still possibly of him returning to the Emirates if Arsenal have that at the back of their mind, most times loan deals helps the players to get more playing time especially when the move is to a smaller club like in the case of Niles here, I hope big Sam gives the lad a chance to show himself, and increase the possibilities of Arsenal wanting him back, it'll turn out to be a terrible deal if West Brom gets relegated and he has to go down to the championship with them, that'll be a big dent to his career.

Barcelona manager Ronald Koeman hopes that Messi stays at the team but he doesn't feel confident about it. And he is right to feel like it. Because Messi really doesn't seem that he will be extending his contract. The thing I am curious about the most is what team he will choose to go. Like I said before, I want to see him at Manchester City the most. But he could prefer going to PSG because of Neymar being there.

They should just let him go and build up a new team which isn't build random Messi. He is already on his way back. The whole season his head isn't at Barcelona so they won't be that much less if he leaves.

I hope such thing doesn't happen but West Brom's job is really hard in this season. I think it is quite likely that they will relegate from the Premier League. I hope too that it doesn't affect Maitland-Niles' career badly. If he makes an appearence there, I think Arsenal won't let him play in the Championship and give him more chance to play in the Premier League matches.

I think chances are little that Messi stays with Barcelona. There are rumors that he and his family are already learning French, and his leaving would bring Barcelona more financial scope. Barcelona has 1,2 billion euros debt and have to pay 226 million euros in debt by July 2021. They have no choice but to let Messi go or they risk bankruptcy.

But he could prefer going to PSG because of Neymar being there.

According to TNT Sports Brasil Neymar is about to extend his contract at Paris Saint-Germain for another four years.

Neymar has agreed to a four-year extension with PSG, according to TNT Sports Brasil.

The reported new deal would keep Neymar, who arrived at PSG from Barcelona in 2017, tied to the Parc des Princes until 2026.

On the other hand, Kylian Mbappe could leave the club for Liverpool FC or Real Madrid. This could open the way for a transfer of Lionel Messi.

But what about Kylian Mbappe?

TNT suggests that selling the forward, who has been linked to Real Madrid and Liverpool previously, would give the Ligue 1 giants the chance to sign Barcelona star Lionel Messi.

To me, such a scenario doesn't sound so unlikely. Given the club's current financial situation, I think it's quite realistic for Messi to leave Barcelona.

I think Bayern Munich are the closer side to be able to sign him. But I don't know what Upamecano wants to do. Stay in Bundesliga? Or play in the best league in Europe, the Premier League? We will see what he will decide to do in the future.

This is a good news for Milan fans, long time nothing news regarding this, and coming for extending potential. Raiola already give anything for Milan to get players they wants, I wish this time he doing the same thing.

I agree with you, it is possible that Bayern Munich will succeed in getting Upamecano. Because Volker Struth the agent of Upamecano has a very
good relationship with Bayern Munich. This is a strong reason for Bayern Munich who have a greater chance of getting Upamecano than Chelsea.
Moreover, Volker Struth is also an agent of Niklas Sule who is a current Bayern Munich player.
