Ajax striker Brain Brobbey didn't extend his contract recently but after the last matches Ajax will keep trying to keep him.

Now he is even linked to Manchester United. I don't know if that's the right club for him. https://www.unitedinfocus.com/transfer-talk/who-is-brian-brobbey-and-why-is-he-linked-to-manchester-united/

I don't know if it would be a nice transfer for Manchester Utd for now at least. Because rather than him, I think that Manchester Utd can make a young and great striker for their starting lineup. If I'm not wrong, they are one of the clubs after Haaland too. If they somehow manage to bring him, it could be incredible for them. Btw, I know that they are the most scorer team in the league right now. Bruno Fernandes is their most scorer with 15 goals which is awesome. But if Haaland plays as a centre-forward, they could even be more productive than this.

Hard to make a list right now but...

Pogba // Juve - Real
Messi // PSG - City
Aouar // Juve
Mbappe // Real
Haaland // Real

I would be happy if this happened. Yesterday's transfer market Real Madrid was not actively recruiting players. This makes it difficult for them to compete, as many have been injured and on loan. But under these conditions, can Madrid spend a lot of money? I think a lot of clubs are struggling with money at the moment, including Madrid. In total, Madrid have to spend € 355.00m for the three of them, this does not include the cost of other deals.

It looks like Manchester Utd are preparing for a bid for Milan's young main goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma (21). It seems they are ready to sell De Gea this summer and they are thinking Donnarumma to take his place. Considering he is a very good goalkeeper, it can be a good move for Manchester Utd.

De Gea seems to be past his peak, he makes more mistakes than he used to. Maybe a move back to Spain would suit him. The young Italian GK you mention is very highly rated. Italy has a good tradition of top GM’s, I think this would be good for Man Utd.

Can anybody compile a nice list for the top transfer targets for the top 5 leagues in Europe and where they’re rumored they might be going?  I’ll update and post it  at the OP.  I’ll be giving away some merits as a token of appreciation.  Thanks!

Hard to make a list right now but...

Pogba // Juve - Real
Messi // PSG - City
Aouar // Juve
Mbappe // Real
Haaland // Real

No way Real sign both of them, it would be so expensive. What would be interesting is how much money gets spent this summer due to the pandemic. Most clubs won’t be able to spend what that normally would.

Haaland, Mbappe and Alaba are rumored to join fc barcelona if Toni Freixa is elected as new president

Toni Freixa, candidate for president of fc barcelona, has announced that he will bring three world-class stars to the Camp Nou if elected.

In what world exactly? Not in this earth, they have 1 Billion € debts and for sure some of them will expire before this summer.
And no they can't just spend money like nothing they have the Financial Fair Play to honor, they can't just add 1 billion to the cashier like nothing.

Like Inter,

Inter needs to pay 375€ before December 2022.
40m € to Real before March
and 200m € before June.

It is really ridiculous.    David Alaba is in his last 6 months at Bayern and they can sign him without spending too much money, okay. But Haaland and Mbappe? Really? Haaland's market value is €110.00m and Mbappe's is €180.00m. They will have to be willing to pay insane amount of money to be able to sign them and it is only for their transfer fees. There will be many expenditures like salary, signing-on bonus and other bonuses. I'm very sure that they won't be in a perfect financial condition to make all these happen.

Haha, I really doubt that! Barcelona is heavily in debt and I can hardly imagine that such an amount of money is available for player transfers. I am pretty sure that we won't see Mbappe or Haaland at Barcelona next season. Maybe if they finally sell Messi to PSG or Manchester City one of the previously mentioned transfers could be realistic.


FC Everton, Manchester United and FC Bayern München are still interested in signing Max Aarons, who is currently playing for Norwich City.

Everton are interested in Max Aarons as Carlo Ancelotti is looking for a new right-back. Bayern have already opened talks with Norwich to sign the player. Manchester United have also scouted him [@FabrizioRomano]

Emili Rousaud already said, if he becomes president of Barcelona, he will sign Haaland and Mbappé.

So, Barcelona has almost € 1bi in debt, right? I don't remember the exact amount, but it's a number that can be rounded without making a difference to Barcelona's situation.
I've been seeing that Barcelona have at least 9 players bought from which they need to settle in the short term:
€ 29mi - Liverpool (Philippe Coutinho)
€ 16mi - Ajax (De Jong)
€ 9.8mi - Bordeaux (Malcom)
€ 9.6mi - Braga (Trincão)
€ 9mi - Betis (Junior Firpo)
€ 8mi  - Grêmio (Arthur)
€ 6mi - Atlético-MG (Emerson)
€ 4.8mi  - Juventus (Pjanic)
€ 4.6mi - Palmeiras (Matheus Fernandes)

Former President Josep Maria Bartomeu left Barcelona in a very complicated situation.

I've seen multiple sources have reported that PSG is showing interest in signing Bellerin again ^{[sources: #1, #2, and #3]}...
^{- I hope he goes to PSG so Arteta could finally use Cedric in that position regularly [over his current underperforming favorite player - Bellerin].}

That's interesting.. Bellerin used to be so pacy and good in defending but not now. He still has the pace but yeah he is underperforming. Right now he has received the highest no of yellow cards in PL this season with 8 yellow cards. Cedric Soares on other hand has proved to be a good signing ever since he joined Arsenal. I agree currently he is more suitable option if compared to Bellerin. Might be good if sell Bellerin and free up space for Cedric.

That is as impossible as it gets. First of all there is a financial fair play situation in the new football which I think is awesome, no team should be too much in debt, secondly we are talking about a situation where both of them would cost maybe 300+ million together, where could Barcelona find that kind of money? It would be near impossible to make that happen.

I believe there is no need for this much drastic change dreams neither, we know it won't happen and that is not what Barcelona needs, they just need players who are good and young and not going to end up playing horrible, and they need players that can fit into Barcelona mold as well, even Haaland no matter how great he is, could be utilized better somewhere else, Barcelona needs a player that is more like suarez, a bit more technically instead of just power and speed, I don't know who they can get, but Sancho looks like a great deal for them if you ask me, even someone like that would be great improvement without need to get mbappe.

Exactly it is just no more than a pledge. But I wonder whether they would achieve it if it weren't for covid-19.    It has really affected many big clubs deeply. Even if Barcelona had funds to do it, they couldn't bring Mbappe and Haaland both I think. Probably Real Madrid would sign Haaland. And Mbappe might have stayed at his club.

Does Toni Freixa possible to bring Haaland, Mbappe & Alaba in at the same time?
I think it is hard to happen, Barcelona seems to have not enough money to sign them. Of course, it is a great idea to have Haaland, Mbappe, & Alaba in the Barcelona team. They possibly make big changes in Barcelona, but unfortunately it is likely difficult to happen, mate. Also, other clubs won't let Barcelona has them together, especially Real Madrid.

Paolo Dybala future at Juventus is in doubt and he most likely will be leaving at summer.
The 27 yo Argentinian is currently have 3 EPL teams monitoring him, Man United, Liverpool and Spurs.
Manchester United also is looking at Eintracht Frankfurt Portuguese Striker Andre Silva who is having a blast in Bundesliga this season but it will be all dependent on Cavani extension for next season.

I'm not sure Dybala will leave Juventus, indeed his contract will expire soon. But according to the news that I read Juventus are still interested
in extending their contract, even Juventus sporting director Fabio Paratici said his side was continuing to negotiate with Dybala. Even though
we know Dybala often gets injured, Juventus are still interested in extending his contract. So the EPL team that monitors Dybala's progress must
look for other targets. Regarding Andre Silva, he is waiting for a contract decision from Cavani, but seeing Cavani's performance this season is
pretty good, it looks like Manchester United would prefer to extend Cavani's contract.

De Gea is a very good goalkeeper.  Why would they do such a thing?  A smart transfer to a bad position would make more sense.  Although we look at it from Donnarumma, I don't think he will leave Italy.

I'm not sure we need Messi on a team like this. After all, there are better players for that position at the moment. Even now Messi barely plays for Barcelona. And with this squad I think there will be another player here who is stronger than Messi.

@StartupAnalyst in my personal opinion he’s bluffing, because Barcelona don’t have the required funds to buy these player’s, and then pay their high wages hence we can forget these transfers from taking place.

@Red Pie De Gea is indeed a good goal keeper but lately he’s been absolutely poor, and due to that Manchester United have dropped many points, hence I do expect him to be sold at the end of the season.
