Time.news: Welcome, everyone, to a deep dive into the whirlwind of soccer transfer rumors! Today, we’re joined by renowned football finance and scouting expert, Alistair Finch, to break down the hottest stories and what they mean for the future of the beautiful game. Alistair, thanks for joining us.

Alistair Finch: Pleasure to be here! Always exciting to dissect the transfer market.

Time.news: Let’s start wiht a Crystal Palace defender Marc Guéhi. Reports suggest he might wait until 2026 and make a free transfer to either Barcelona or Real Madrid. He’s also drawing attention from premier League Clubs such as Chelsea and Newcastle. Is this a realistic scenario, and what does it say about his value?

Alistair Finch: It’s certainly a interesting situation. Guéhi is a very highly-rated defender.A free transfer to a club of Barcelona or Real Madrid’s stature is always a possibility when they are monitoring a player who may become available that way. That makes Guéhi an attractive option due to his skill set and lack of transfer fee for the club. Waiting for that free transfer allows him to dictate terms and command a higher salary, but he also risks injury or a change in form diminishing his appeal. for Palace, it’s a risk of losing a valuable asset for nothing, versus cashing in now or in the next window before his contract runs out. It’s a delicate balance – a calculated gamble, if you will.

Time.news: Speaking of calculated gambles, Liverpool’s Darwin Núñez is linked with a move to Napoli. is this move logical?

Alistair Finch: Núñez’s situation is different.Liverpool has not been showing signs of renewing the contract. His finishing hasn’t always matched his potential, and with potential interest from the Saudi Pro League, Liverpool might be tempted to cash in. Napoli, especially with the potential departure of Osimhen, needs a striker with Núñez’s tenacity and goal-scoring potential.The challenge will be aligning his wage demands with Napoli’s budget, and competing with the lucrative offers likely to come from Saudi Arabia.

Time.news: The Rumor Mill is also saying that Jonathan David is drawing attention from multiple European clubs, possibly challenging inter’s pursuit. Any thoughts?

Alistair Finch: I am not surprised that David’s situation is so contested,especially being available on a free. Inter is looking at getting a discount, but he does field the interest from Barcelona, Real Madrid, Liverpool and Chelsea, among others.it is a tricky situation for David, as a move with Inter is a sure shot, whereas other clubs aren’t as secure.

Time.news: Let’s shift gears to Leroy Sané, Sané is reportedly considering a premier League return after contract negotiations with Bayern Munich stalled. What does this signal about Bayern’s strategy and Sané’s ambitions?

Alistair Finch: This suggests a potential misalignment in valuation. Sané, at 29, likely feels he deserves a salary reflecting his contributions. Bayern might be hesitant to commit major resources to an aging player, especially if they have younger talents emerging. A return to the Premier League would offer him a chance to be the star man at a club like Newcastle,with important financial backing,and to prove himself again in a league where he previously excelled.

Time.news: The article also mentions Atlético Madrid’s interest in Dusan Vlahovic and a potential move for Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen to Napoli. Any insight here?

Alistair Finch: Atlético Madrid have very high standards and always want the best when it comes to strikers, as they always need the best to score goals. Vlahovic is a top notch striker, and it makes sense for them to make a claim. If Osimhen doesn’t join Atlético Madrid, Vlahovic makes a very strong second choice and ensures their goal-scoring ability.

Time.news: Real Madrid has completed the signing of Dean Huijsen. Is this a good move for both parties?

Alistair Finch: Absolutely. Huijsen is a promising young defender, and Real Madrid has a history of nurturing young talent. He’ll learn from some of the best in the world and get a chance to prove himself on the biggest stage. For Real Madrid, it’s a smart investment in the future, adding depth to their defensive options.

Time.news: Alistair, this has been incredibly insightful. Any final words of advice for fans following these transfer rumors?

Alistair Finch: Take everything with a grain of salt! Transfer rumors are often used as leverage in negotiations, and the landscape can change dramatically in a matter of days. focus on reliable sources, and remember that ultimately, the decisions rest with the players and clubs involved.Enjoy the ride,but don’t get too attached to any specific outcome until the ink is dry!

Time.news: Great advice! Alistair Finch, thank you again for your time and expertise.

Alistair Finch: My pleasure! Always happy to talk football.
