Summer Transfer Window 25/26 *Sponsored by Bigpig*

true I didn’t so I was even more glad when it did occur.

Nunez to Napoli seems to have broken down so I wonder where he will end up. I don’t see him going to Saudi
I'd stay away from Fsbrizio tweets as he'll be spamming yesterdays tweet, just worded slightly differently, for the next day or 2 (I see he's started already this morning judging from bigpigs post above).

As for Darwin, I think it'll depend on what happens with a striker, saudi most likely (how funny would that be). Tbh I could see a scenario where he stays. I'm more invested in the Diaz out stuff, come on bayern, throw some proper cash on the table and stop being shy!!
 
I think if Diaz goes the Rodrygo links could come true and we push for him as replacement
I'd be in heaven if we pull that off, couple of seasons of him on the left before moving to the right replacing salah with Ngumoha having cameos and making the left his own when he turns 18 )

There were rumours that AC Milan still hold interest in Nunez, I'd rather we had just accepted Napolis offer, it was a reasonable price for Nunez and I'd rather that cash than end up still having Nunez on the books at the start of the season because we werent budging on price.
 
That doesnt make much sense...they made offer, which was refused, BUT they havent yet made a 2nd offer (as it says its expected, indicating it hasnt yet happened), so how can it be significant progress or advanced, if they've not yet made a 2nd offer. Surely making a 2nd offer would be progress or advancement. The two statements (progress advanced but no 2nd offer made) are contradictory
 
It's another Romano guys, he will provide 150 'updates' a week on every transfer rumour going.

edit: I'm pretty sure this was the guy that claimed one of the hold ups in the Wirtz deal was Wirtz wanting the number 10 shirt, until Wirtz outed him as full of **** on Instagram.

Two different German sources. One stated Newcastle is the only one currently at the table.

On the player side the deal was extremely close. Nicholson flew out to Germany late last week and Hugo agents even jetted in to Newcastle warm weather training camp to see what of figures gets the deal done.

Like I said yesterday the Fab and Orstein press release was strange. Looks like we might have caught Liverpool off guard with regards to Ekitike.

You're kidding yourself here. Transfers of this size aren't done on a first come, first served basis. If Ekitike signs for Newcastle then it's either because he's chosen Newcastle over x or because x weren't interested. He's not signing for Newcastle because they moved first.

Talking of German sources, Bild say that Liverpool intend on signing BOTH Isak and Ekitike :D

In other news... according to Caughtoffside, United have "made contact" with Ekitikes representatives about a player plus cash deal for Ekitike

I've even seen one source on twitter today saying that Isak has handed in a transfer request.

I fear that I lean toward what @BaZ87 said, twitter is full of crap, guesswork and outright nonsense, designed just to get people retweeting their posts and increase their social media footprint.

We'll know whats happening when we know and not before :)

Until the contracts are signed anyone can gazump anyone else.

It's happened to us with at least one player where they were meant to come for a medical and went to London instead

I didn’t say that. I said we were pretty advanced in the deal not just registering an interest.

I also agree with you. We could be very well be calling your bluff if indeed that press release even came from Liverpool.

@Tombstone well there’s one outlet claiming Isak about to sign a 350k deal with the toon :D

an yet the general consensus is the leak came from Isaks agent

Thats probably the one event that really would surprise me, I'm very much of the opinion that (providing he maintains form) if Isak doesnt go somewhere this summer, he will before his contract is up. No particular offence to Newcastle but I'd be very surprised if Isak sees his long term career future at Newcastle, he'll most likely be wanting to join a big team before long

You've misunderstood my point. Whether registering your interest or being advanced on the deal, Ekitike isn't going to sign for Newcastle because they moved first or were quicker with negotiations. He will wait and see what offers are on the table and accept what is best for him. Nobody is getting caught out in a £70m+ transfer, that's just not how these things work.

And re the news of our interest coming out, the journalists reporting it would suggest the leak didn't come from Liverpool. Isak's agent being the source is more likely.

Then happy days. We sign Ekitike and sort out Isak new contract later on or flog him to the Saudies for 200millions and give him enough wages that he could buy a country with!
