Arsenal and United behind Goncalo Guedes?
Transfer
market picked up some heat today as players like Cesc Fabregas,
Leonardo Bonucci and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang dominated the headlines
ahead of their big money moves in coming months. Chelsea, Arsenal and
Manchester City are eager to splash the cash to add further quality to
their squads.
On that note, we bring to you the best transfer news and rumours making the headlines on October 7, 2016.
Arsenal and Man United going after Benfica man?
Arsenal
and Manchester United have made Benfica starlet Goncalo Guedes their
key summer transfer target ahead of the next season, according to
reports from A Bola. The 19-year-old has been scouted by both Arsene
Wenger and Jose Mourinho with a summer bid to follow.
Guedes has a release clause of €60m and
loves to operate in the free role behind the lone striker. La Liga side
Valencia are also keeping a close tab on the progress of the exciting
player from Benfica.
Dortmund accept Aubameyang will leave the club next summer
Aubameyang finally on his way out of the Westfalenstadion?
Bundesliga
side Borussia Dortmund have conceded defeat in trying to keep hold of
their star striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The Congo international
was linked with a move to Real Madrid and Manchester City earlier this
season but neither side could cough up Dortmund’s asking fee of
£50million.
According to Sport Bild however, things will change
next summer as Chelsea and Manchester City have made Aubameyang their
top priority and are prepared to meet Dortmund’s valuation of £50m. If
the bid is made then Dortmund will have no option but to sell their star
striker, who has scored 5 goals in the first 5 matches of the
Bundesliga season.
Chelsea want to sign Felipe Anderson
Anderson to Chelsea?
According
to the Brazilian newspaper Il Messaggero, Chelsea are pushing harder to
sign the flamboyant wing-back Felipe Anderson in January. Antonio Conte
needs better options in the full-back area to switch to a 3-man defense
and sees Anderson as the ideal signing.
Lazio have demanded
£30million for the 23-year-old, who was linked with a move to Manchester
United throughout the last season. According to Il Messaggero, player’s
agent is already working on a deal to bring Anderson to Premier League
where a meeting with Chelsea is likely to happen during Serie A’s winter
break.
Liverpool closing on the ‘next’ Paul Pogba?
Kondogbia joined Inter in the 2015 summer transfer window
Liverpool
have been strongly linked with a move for Inter Milan’s midfield
powerhouse Geoffrey Kondogbia, according to reports from Football
Italia. The Frenchman moved to Inter in a £27million deal but has failed
to play in 3 of Inter’s last 5 matches. Player’s agent has fueled the
speculation of a January exit by claiming that a lot of clubs are
interested in his signing.
Speaking with TuttoMercatoWeb, Jonathan Maarek said: “Despite
the current situation, Geoffrey is relaxed. There are no problems and
he is happy at Inter. Kondogbia is certainly a top level player. He has a
lot of quality and is very young, so obviously he has a lot of clubs
interested in him.”
Have Juventus named their price for Bonucci?
Serie A Champions want a fee in excess of £50million and want Cesc Fabregas to be part of a player+cash deal
Juventus
are ready to play the hardball with Chelsea over the transfer of
Leonardo Bonucci. According to TalkSports, Serie A Champions want a fee
in excess of £50million and want Cesc Fabregas to be part of a
player+cash deal to let go off their prized asset. Bonucci was linked
with Chelsea last summer as well but Blues could not agree on a fee for
the Italian.
However, after a poor start to the 2016/17 season,
Chelsea have now made Bonucci their number one transfer target and will
try to sign him in January before going out with their final offer next
summer.
Arsenal superstars will not stay for anything cheap
Ozil and Sanchez want their contracts renewed?
Arsenal
duo Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez want a salary in excess of £250,000
to sign their contract extensions. Gunners have tried for long to
convince them to commit their future to the Emirates but the duo are
buying their time and want to be sure of Arsenal’s managerial situation
before penning the new deals.
Arsene Wenger is most likely on his
way out of the club, which is seen as a positive factor for Ozil and
Sanchez to sign their new contracts.
