And PSG sees Mbappe’s heir in Lamin Yamal.
The summer transfer window is getting closer! For some, transitions are the most interesting thing in football. According to İdman.biz, at the end of each week, “Championship” tells transfer news. Catch our new digest.
PSG sold the forward to Germany
Striker Hugo Ekitike became a football player for Eintracht Frankfurt. The club from Frankfurt activated the buyout option for € 16.5 million. Ekitike previously played for PSG, and in the middle of the 2023/2034 season he moved to Eintracht Frankfurt. Hugo played 13 matches for the Frankfurt club, in which he scored two goals and provided one assist. Ekitike signed a contract with Eintracht Frankfurt until the summer of 2029. Will he become a Bundesliga star?
Mass exodus of football players from Manchester United
Manchester United’s squad is overcrowded with players, almost half of whom are of no benefit to the club. It’s time to get rid of them. According to ESPN, defender Raphael Varane and striker Anthony Martial will leave Manchester United in the summer. Both players’ contracts with the club are expiring. Winger Jadon Sancho has no plans to return to Manchester United – the Englishman is currently on loan at Borussia Dortmund. And Fabrizio Romano said that midfielder Sofyan Amrabat is unlikely to remain at United. The Moroccan is at the club on loan from Fiorentina.
Giroud leaves for Messi
Fabrizio Romano reports: Olivier Giroud will become a Los Angeles player in the summer. The Frenchman signed a contract with the MLS club until December 31, 2025. Olivier leaves Milan at the end of the season as a free agent. Together with the Rossoneri, Giroud won Serie A in 2022, and now he is going to fight Lionel Messi and his Inter Miami.
Thiago Silva leaves Europe
One of the best defenders of the 2010s is ending a great career in Europe. According to GOAL, Thiago Silva will sign a contract with the Brazilian Fluminense in the summer. The player was offered an agreement until December 2025. Fluminense is Silva’s home club. He previously played for him from 2006 to 2009. Now there is a chance to win the Brazilian championship and the Libertadores Cup with him. In Europe, Silva won 28 trophies!
“Barsa” will take away Hwich?
La Gazzetta dello Sport reports: Barcelona are interested in Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. A fan of the Napoli winger is Xavi, who remains at the Catalan club for next season. So Kvaratskhelia’s potential transfer has become more likely. Mamuka Dzhugeli, Khvichi’s agent, will meet with Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis next week. Dzhugeli will probably announce Kvaratskhelia’s intention to leave the team. Transfermarkt estimates the value of the Georgian footballer at €80 million. Will Barça afford this amount?
Will the Saudis take away the Real Madrid mascot?
Joselu is a football meme. In a good way. Yes, he is not the most technical forward of our time, and sometimes he surprises with his mistakes. But Real Madrid fans love Joselu. However, the romance may soon end. According to journalist Jose Felix Diaz, an unnamed club from Saudi Arabia is interested in Joselu. Note that the forward is at Real Madrid on loan from Espanyol. Madrid do not yet know whether they will buy Joselu. Much depends on Real’s decision. If the club takes the striker on a permanent basis, it is unlikely that we will see him in Saudi Arabia. If not, we are waiting for Joselu in the Middle East!
PSG are looking for Mbappe’s replacement
Lamin Yamal is one of the main discoveries of the season. The 16-year-old Barcelona winger plays like a mature footballer. Of course, the Catalans need Yamal, but due to the club’s financial problems, the option of selling has not been ruled out. According to Le Parisien, PSG is ready to pay €200 million for Lamin! In Paris, Yamal is considered as a replacement for Kylian Mbappe, who is leaving as a free agent for Real Madrid. This season, Lamin took part in 44 matches, in which he scored six goals and provided four assists. Transfermarkt estimates his value at €75 million.
Will Falcao go to Russia?
Radamel Falcao will leave Rayo Vallecano in the summer as a free agent, reports insider Fabrizio Romano. The Colombian striker is already 38 years old and his career is coming to an end. Maybe it’s time for Falcao to please Valery Karpin and come to the RPL? For now, Radamel has no plans to give up football. He played in the Premier League, Primera Ligue and Ligue 1. We are waiting in Russia!
“Barca” found a replacement for Romeo
Barcelona will swap one shopkeeper for another. In the summer of 2023, the club returned its graduate Oriol Romeu. But the midfielder has not proven himself to be an important player – so Romeu will be put up for transfer in the summer. And 30-year-old Betis midfielder Guido Rodriguez is being considered as a replacement. Journalist Fernando Polo reports this. Rodriguez’s contract with Betis is coming to an end, so Barca will not have to pay for the Argentinean. This season, Guido played 25 matches in all tournaments, in which he scored two goals and provided one assist.
Will the Bayer Leverkusen leader end up at Manchester United?
Journalist Nicolo Schira reports that Manchester United are interested in Bayer Leverkusen defender Jeremie Frimpong. Under the current contract, the footballer can be bought out for € 40 million if the release clause is activated by the start of Euro 2024. Frimpong’s representatives are already negotiating with Manchester United and Bayern. This season, Jeremy played 40 matches in which he scored 13 goals and provided 11 assists. With Bayer, Frimpong won the Bundesliga and also has a chance to win the German Cup and Europa League. Transfermarkt values the 23-year-old Dutchman at €50 million. Top reinforcement for United?
“Milan” will part with the player of the “golden” team?
Calciomercato reports that Ismael Bennacer could leave Milan in the summer transfer window. It is noted that the Algerian is of interest to teams from England, France and Saudi Arabia. In May 2023, Ismael injured his cruciate ligaments, causing him to miss six months. This season, Bennacer played in only 18 matches, in which he provided one assist. The estimated cost of the player, according to the Transfermarkt portal, is € 35 million. Will anyone pay this amount for the 26-year-old midfielder, who became the Italian champion with Milan in 2022?
Will “Roma” win over the leader of “Juventus”?
It’s hard to imagine this transfer. But Daniele Longo reports that Federico Chiesa has become a target for Roma. The 26-year-old winger has one year remaining on his contract with Juventus. The Romans are probably going to seduce Chiesa with a cool offer. And football played by Roma suits Federico much more than Allegriball. Chiesa’s transfer value (according to Transfermarkt) is € 40 million. Will Roma pull off the deal?
Will Bayern steal the new German champion?
Bayern did not become German champions for the first time in 11 years. Munich are going to strengthen themselves in the summer to regain the title. One of the candidates for transfer is Jonathan Ta. According to journalist Toby Altschaffl, Munich are showing serious interest in the 28-year-old defender. This season, Ta helped Bayer become the champion. Should I now take the title with Bayern? Transfermarkt estimates Ta’s value at €30 million. Not the largest sum for the Munich team.
Real Madrid have found a defensive boost in Italy
From playing for an outsider in the Bundesliga to Real Madrid. Malik Tschau moved from Schalke 04 to Milan in the summer of 2022 and became the main defender of the Rossoneri. And from 2023 he is called up to the German national team. Now Tshaw can find himself in one of the strongest clubs in the world. According to Bild, Real Madrid are very interested in Malik and have intensified contacts with the player. Due to a knee injury, Tshaw played in only 26 matches this season. However, Real Madrid probably value Malik’s potential. And the price for a football player is acceptable – only € 30 million (according to Transfermarkt).
Will Barca make one of the biggest signings of the summer?
Barcelona are interested in Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva, reports Sport.es. It is noted that the 29-year-old Portuguese is not against changing clubs. He likes the option of moving to Barca; Bernardo has already asked ex-Manchester City partner Ilkay Gundogan, as well as compatriots Joao Felix and Joao Cancelo, about the club. Silva believes it’s time to move to Spain. Also a fan of the footballer is Xavi, who will remain at Barca next season. The problem is the cost of the player. Transfermarkt values Silva at €80 million. Considering Barça’s financial problems, the amount looks daunting. But if the Catalans pull off the deal, it will become one of the loudest this summer.
