It looks like things are happening faster than expected at FC Bayern. With Kingsley Coman demanding over €20m a year, FC Bayern are willing to sell him for a "top" offer. What do you think a top offer could look like? €80-€100m?

After the failed contract negotiations, Bayern are ready to sell Kingsley Coman for a 'top, top offer' [@cfbayern]

According to transfermarket.com Kingsley Coman's current market value is about €65m. Two Premier League clubs, Manchester United and Chelsea FC, are interested in signing Coman. It could be an interesting transfer period for FC Bayern. It will be important for them to find adequate replacements.

According to this News, it still rumors, Haaland still in clausal contract until next year.

Thank you for the information, mate.
I am a bit doubtful if it was Haaland's statement.
As far as I know still no clear information about where he will go, or he will stay on the current team.

So I'm optimistic that it's just a matter of time before an agreement is reached between Dortmund and Chelsea.

Let's see where Haaland finally goes, or he prefers to stay a bit longer in Dortmund.
For now, there are too many top clubs that want to sign Haaland. So, I think it is still difficult to speculate about him.
In my view, Haaland may decide to spend one season again on Dortmund before leaving.

Bad management from Dortmund if get higher value for Haaland because many team never interested with him and waiting when contract ended to get free, I see many good player when have value but club never sell and give crazy price I believe player like that never get more and club just free transfer on next time.

I agree it was a bad decision for Dortmund to set the price too high for Haaland. Moreover, this pandemic situation has made a number of large
teams wiser in spending money to buy players. And Haaland himself had already decided he wanted to leave, there shouldn't be a need to hold
him back any longer by setting a high price. What if the transfer agreement does not happen and the next is most likely waiting for the player's
contract to expire, Dortmund will have more to lose by releasing Haaland for free. It could also be that many teams are waiting for Haaland's
price to drop in 2022. Which happened to Jadon Sancho, the price this year fell compared to the previous year.

As far as I read in the media, it was not only the club that was asking for a lot of money, but also Haaland and his agent.
In talks with Barcelona and Real, his agent allegedly demanded a very high annual salary for Haaland, a higher salary than what Messi or Ronaldo receive.
Haaland is a very good player but also a very young player, and I am afraid that all these stories about big money could harm his playing career.
He would not be the first failed great football hope.
We currently have a major financial crisis in football due to the coronavirus and probably only PSG, Manchester City or Chelsea can meet the high financial requirements of this player.
Greed is always a double-edged sword.

@Daniel91 I believe that Chelsea will sell player’s and pay 170 million for Halland, and day by day my belief is only growing stronger about this. Furthermore I feel that this will hamper his career cause his every miss will be scrutinised and heavily criticised, therefore he should reject this move, and seal a transfer next year.

Chelsea appear to be in the driving seat in the race to sign Erling Haaland this Wednesday, with the Blues hot on the heels of the talented Dortmund forward.

Manchester United have long been linked with a move for the Norwegian, but have rekindled their interest in Jadon Sancho in fear of missing out on Haaland.

Hope he does not end up to be like another ex Bundesliga player moving to Chelsea and not able to score;)

Haaland is a different animal however,,, I think he has a mental capacity to grow even under pressure or maybe even especially under pressure.

Jadon must stay if Erling moves though. Cannot see how both go.

I think that Dortmund wouldn't budge on their asking price for Halaand so nothing less then €180million would make him leave, Dortmund probably will sell Sanchi as he is not their main star anymore and just today it was confirmed that Man United have agreed personal terms with him keeping him to 2026 the negotiations with Dortmund and United over him is also started so that means BVB is willing to sell Sancho who they value this season at €95million €25million less then last year,
So if they sold Sancho that is most likely to happened it well make it too difficult to sell Halaand too in the same year.

Wijnaldum to PSG. What a signing! Him and Paredes and/or Verrati is one hell of a midfield. Barcelona simply don't have enough money for a top signing. Any rumours about a big signing are just hopes and dreams

It looks like things are happening faster than expected at FC Bayern. With Kingsley Coman demanding over €20m a year, FC Bayern are willing to sell him for a "top" offer. What do you think a top offer could look like? €80-€100m?

I don't think a club would pay 80M for Coman, even if market conditions were normal (without the covid impact). He's a good winger with creative traits who also happens to be a clutch player, he's in the right moment at the right time (kinda like Giroud in that regard). But 80-100M? top teams would rather wait until he's got a 1 year left on his contract to sign him for a cheaper fee or even for free

a real reinforcement for paris, which will then make the midfield even more unpredictable for the opponent in terms of future lineup

Paris Saint-Germain have completed a valuable free transfer. The French top club confirmed on Thursday that midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum will join PSG from Liverpool. The 30-year-old, who was also courted by FC Barcelona and linked with Bayern Munich, will receive a contract running until 2024.

another top transfer is imminent, and it looks like manchester united has already reached an agreement with the player J. Sancho, and now only dortmund has to agree to it.

In their attempt to sign Jadon Sancho, Manchester United have apparently made their first official offer: According to Bild, the English club is prepared to pay just under €70 million for the international. However, this is far below the Borussia Dortmund’s demand. According to a report in The Times, this amounts to around €93 million as a basic fee plus bonus payments of up to €23 million.

70 m bid denied is being reported but United are trying hard to secure Sancho. Personal terms are all agreed until 2026. They are somehow trying hard to match 95 m Euro tag for Sancho and honestly it's lesser as compared to what they asked for last season. I would really laugh out like crazy if they still don't make it. It would be like two transfer window gone only focusing on Sancho.

Milan is confidently moving forward on target Olivier Giroud. The 86' French striker has been chosen by Frederic Massara and Paolo Maldini to play the role of vice-Ibrahimovic. The contacts with the player's entourage in the last few hours have led to the total definition of the agreement: a two-year €4 million deal (bonuses included).
A.C. Milan has reiterated to Oliver Giroud's agents that they are willing to close the deal only on a free transfer. And it is from the latter that important reassurances have arrived regarding the possibility of enforcing the promise made by Marina Granovskaia. Chelsea's Director can free her striker only with the certainty of a transfer to a foreign club. And this club is precisely Milan, a choice made several weeks ago and that is now about to reach the final finish line.
We will see what happens

According to several rumors from Spain, Depay is not so close to Barca.

Juventus has stepped in the player too with a higher salary, the race is on according to Mundo Deportivo.

For a player like Depay, I think he needs a team like Tottenham were he can be used as the lone striker unlike Barca were he is going to be made to fight for the ball and feed Messi which isn't like him.

This got me thinking,  if Liverpool keeps dismantling its main team will they be able to compete this coming season and have they got replacements for these players they keep selling.

This got me thinking,  if Liverpool keeps dismantling its main team will they be able to compete this coming season and have they got replacements for these players they keep selling.

He is already replaced with Thiago. Gini is great, I really like him, but with Henderson available he'd mostly be a substitute.
Liverpool trio will be Fabinho, Henderson, Thiago, losing Gini is a setback but not as big as it initially seems.

Even Klopp said Liverpool will not look for a direct replacement, probably meaning more minutes for Keita. It's his last chance to prove he's good enough.

[gadado]

Who actually saw that transfer from Wijnaldum to PSG coming? I don't really understand what to do in France. That boy has been playing in England for a long time, must have earned a fortune and is now leaving because he would earn too little. The difference in culture between Liverpool and PSG seems very big to me. And then you also have to deal with that annoying French language. And what about wife and children?
In my opinion, it is a very strange move at this age.

[kawetsriyanto]

Bad management from Dortmund if get higher value for Haaland because many team never interested with him

It depends on the plan made by Dortmund management. You cannot judge "bad management", they have their own plan. Also, a football club grows their players not only for selling, but some clubs also want their players to stay even if it is not a long time. However, it is a very small chance to see Haaland stay in Dortmund. I agree if he prefers to move to another club with a bigger salary and fantastic transfer fees.

I see many good player when have value but club never sell and give crazy price I believe player like that never get more

Please mention the players' names?
Messi? 
If a club sets a crazy prize for the player, it probably means the player "not for sale".
It is like the situation with Messi and Barcelona. We simply can say that Barcelona isn't serious to put Messi on the transfer list.

It came as a big surprise for me to see PSG hijack the deal from Barcelona. He had been linked with a move away to Barcelona even before the season ended only for PSG towards the end to snatch him via a quick deal. He would have to deal with the change and learn to adapt. His family too will have to be the same. Most players often prefer to play in an entirely different team (in a different league/country) just so they'd would be able to experience life in other places I don't think Wijnaldum's case would be any different. He would be missed at Liverpool. He was one of my fav players.

So if they sold Sancho that is most likely to happened it well make it too difficult to sell Halaand too in the same year.

It is unlikely that Dortmund will release two of its star players at the same time. therefore Dortmund set a very high price to be able to
bring in Haaland. Most likely Haaland will indeed stay at Dortmund for another season, if we know that the agreement between Man United
and Dortmund is getting closer to Sancho's move. But we know Chelsea who are most serious about signing Haaland have good finances and
could have bought Haaland. We still have to wait for developments regarding Haaland, the transfer market is getting more and more interesting
right now.

Barcelona is really poor team right now, how come Wijnaldum as free transfer player but give lower salary in Barcelona how ever great opportunity to get best midfielder player from Liverpool by free, I see Wijnaldum close with Barcelona after Koeman have good connection with him, but PSG try give higher salary more than 50% higher than Barcelona.

[cryptofrka]

Seems like Barcelona won't lose only Wijnaldum. They were supposed to be anouncing Depay in the next few days but that has been cancelled as well.

Apparently, Depay will be joining Juventus instead - also on a salary way higher than what Barcelona was offering. That are 2 free agents they planned to sign and have now lost, let's see now what happens with Eric Garcia.
He's a Barcelona youngster so they will probably complete that one - Garcia himself was pushing for that deal since last year.

Wijnaldum and Depay were two targets I thought would be a strong one as they have good relationship with Koeman as well but guess financial status of Barca right now is what pushes them away. As for Garcia, it is done deal and I think Barca already has announced his signing. It's funny how other big teams are playing the higher salary card to take away potential signings of Barca. Guess that's how transfer things are done.
