Yep quite excited by his signing, looked a decent player at the WC.

Hopefully he can give us that added midfield steel we so severely lack.

Expect one of Higuain, Dybala or Mandzukic to move on I'd say, if only to balance the books slightly.

Shocked. I thought this was just another Ronaldo tantrum that ended with him getting another new contract.

Biggest waste of money in history.

Confirmed on the Real Madrid site :eek:

Thought he was vying for a new contract too, genuinely surprised they'd pay that much for him given his age. It'll be interesting to see how Real do next season, and who they spend the money on.

Mbappe will be at real

AFAIK he hasn't even signed for PSG yet, last season was a loan. Could see Real going for KDB or Hazard.

Quite surprising about Ronaldo, but it seems Madrid want both Neymar and Mbappe to replace him. Quite why PSG would sell them I don't know...

I'd have liked him back, but for all his costs, and his age, we're better off trying to sign younger players really.

Mbappe isn’t a PSG player yet, isn’t he on loan?

Ronnie signs 4 year deal at juve

Tinders · 10 Jul 2018 at 19:07

Wonder if Real would put in a crazy bid for Kane? or even Salah. My money will be on Neymar, i said last season that the only reason he went to PSG was to escape Messi's shadow, Ligue 1 is such a poor league.

BaZ87 · 10 Jul 2018 at 19:09

Both Kane and Salah have signed new deals in the last few weeks so I suspect that's unlikely. I'd imagine it's Neymar they want but PSG's owners will dictate whether that happens. If I were to bet on who they'll end up signing then I'd go for Hazard - he's still not agreed a new deal and Chelsea are a bit of a mess right now.

McBain · 10 Jul 2018 at 20:12

Neymar to Real I would assume.

opethdisciple · 10 Jul 2018 at 20:13

It makes sense from Madrid's perspective I guess to get £100 million for a 33 year old.

He'll be great in the immediate term for Juve but after 2 years will look like a massive waste of money.

opethdisciple · 10 Jul 2018 at 20:14

From what I've seen of Neymar this World Cup he hasn't looked like a £200 million player.

Kenai · 10 Jul 2018 at 20:17

Southampton sign Gunn from City, be interesting to see where he sits in the pecking order, can't see Forster sticking around as third choice.

jonneymendoza · 10 Jul 2018 at 20:51

Mahrez has apparently signed for City
