Transfers and Rumours - old thread

Arsenal have this morning made a bid for Dortmund centre-back Sokratis, @DiMarzio reports.

There are rumors in england that Arsenal would want to buy Cavani since Giroud got injured, but today RMC talked with Cavani representatives and they said that it's no use for a club to make a bid since PSG always replies the same thing : Cavani is not for sale.

Valencia interested in Kagawa.

I find it hilarious how teams from the big-money leagues always seem to believe they can get players from the Bundesliga for cheap.

I know right? But 25M is still a bargain for Sokratis.

I wonder why they'd sell him. Both Hummels and Subotic tend to get injured a few times throughout the season and with only Ginter and Marian Sarr left.... Unless they bring in some unknown player through their scouting network who then turns out to be a gem ofc

25M would be a fair price for both sides. 15M is still much more than Dortmund paid for him, but by now he's worth more than that, especially given his contract's end.

Especially since Sarr has looked far from convincing in the few games he featured for BVB.

btw, it is interesting at what pace Bayern can strike on the transfer market these days. I mean, Benatia took 1 week from first rumors to being made official, Alonso, before yesterday evening, nobody even had a glimpse of what was going on and today the deal is almost done. Same goes for Benatia.
Reschke really is a welcome addition and a worthy Uli successor when it comes to transfers.

Yup, whether you like Bayern or not, you have to give it to them that what they have done in the past week or so is nothing short of extraordinary. Great stuff they pulled off without making any fuss.

btw, I ofc meant Bernat the second time I mentioned Benatia...

It looks like Kagawa could maybe move back to Dortmund.

Great news if true.

Cleverley To Aston Villa for 11.3 million euros More than madrid got for Alonso

you mean you are basically left with the same midfield you had + Di Maria and without the -1 Cleverley gives while getting some money for him WOW. Your mid is still very unbalanced though
