Summer Transfer Window 22/23

Looks like we have just about signed Raphinha's replacement with a like-for-like player, Sinisterra from Feyenoord. Good stats for last season, looks really skillful, quick, and creative, 20 odd mill. Hopefully, we can get De Ketelaere too who could be amazing.
 
Wouldn't surprise me if Ronaldo went to MLS, could probably make a killing in terms of sponsorships etc if he raised his profile in the US a bit. Would probably suit his ego as well everyone telling him what a legend he is, banging in a few goals etc.
PSG doesn't feel right with Mbappe having signed a new deal, not sure he would go to another English club, Barca can't afford him. Bayern could be a possibility if Lewandolski leaves, or maybe he could wash up in Italy again.
 
You aren't the only one. I'd loved Eriksen to play for Leicester. Thought the Schmeichel connection, would have tipped in our favour :(
Lol, Brentford are 80% Danish and it didn't help us. Rumours going that his agent was still out there trying to drum up interest in a massive deal last weekend... if that's true then very disappointing that he didn't let us know earlier that he'd not be staying.

He wants Champions League football and to continue at an elite level. That’s the last thing he’ll do. Unless you mean he’ll end up there eventually in a few years?
 
The Malacia deal was finalised yesterday. Seems highly regarded so could be a very shrewd signing.

The De Jong situation is less clear. It does seem a deal is effectively agreed, but the below is an issue (from Simon Stone at the BBC as reported by Spanish media);

Manchester United have been getting a bit of heat over the difficulty they have experienced in trying to sign Frenkie De Jong from Barcelona.

It is understood an outline deal is in place but progress towards completion has been slow.

A piece in the Spanish newspaper Marca might explain why.

Marca say they have seen De Jong's Barcelona contract and it confirms the Dutchman agreed to a major restructuring of his contract within an overall extension that was designed to help the Catalan giants through the pandemic.

Essentially, Marca says De Jong had his salary reduced to €3m in 2020-21 and €6m last season. Starting from next season, he is due to earn €18m for the next three years - and €19m in the final year.

Evidently, if he was to leave for United now, De Jong would want some kind of compensation for the money he should have earned by now but hasn't.
Hopefully it won't take ages to resolve. Martinez talks ongoing. Eriksen should be sorted by the end of the week too. I suppose the medical may take longer than usual...

Sounds like a complete mess of Barcas own making. As it stands, a large chunk of the transfer fee will probably need to go to De Jong to cover the missed wages. I guess that there is no hard and fast rule about deferred wages and transfers that result in those future years never happening.

If I was de Jong I would be telling them to pay me what my salary should have been for the past 2 years if they want me to leave, otherwise I will stick around for the last 4 years and basically bankrupt them.

I'm stuck between United playing hardball and trying to screw Barca over as much as possible and just wanting to get a quality player like De Jong in. God Barca are a bunch of *****.

Yep, they are an absolute dumpster fire of a club these days. A financial disaster.
 
Steve Nickson is in Brazil chasing some wonder kid and looking at striker options.

With agent Bruno and J7 in the squad might make negotiations easier. :)

Edit: Ângelo Gabriel 20million has been rejected so far!!!

This is were Ashworth will have his work cutout. So much deadwood needs cleared.


I very much hope this isn't true.

If Leverkusen sell then they'll outbid us on Mudryk as his replacement. If we sign Hickey, Lewis-Potter and Mudryk this season without losing anyone I'll be over the moon.
It's a hard one for us to pull off for various reason. Transfer fee being one.

If (big if) he joins he'll be on silly money with you lot as he won't take a pay cut to join. Image getting the Ronaldo cash flow off the books and then paying this guy 350k plus a week. Mental.

Seems entirely logical to me, assuming he performs.

If Ronaldo does go, the wage bill will have been massively reduced. Pogba/Mata/Matic/Cavani/Lingard/Henderson have all gone too.

Yeah, I don't see the issue, hes a top quality CM and we have reduced our wage bill massively this year especially if Ronaldo goes.
