Didn't Juve just buy Zakaria a window or so ago?
I'm sorry, but I'll bet money in this post that Jude Bellingham winds up on Real Madrid. I guarantee they'll over pay not only his fee but give him stupid wages that will blow everyone else out of the water. Dortmund and Bellingham both would be stupid not to take it. Save this post.
Caicedo could get a deal done in January and stay with Brighton until July. It would be smart business. Probably have his pick of English clubs.
Kouadio Kone from Borussia Mochengladbach. Remember the name. He can play DM, CM or AM. French U21 International, turns 22 in May. Someone I'm sure the English Premier League will be looking at.
Definitely a possibility, Reals got the money and they make usually smart moves and Bellingham looks like one of the more sure things to come out of the midfield in a while.
But the way your describing it “blowing away with an offer and stupid wages” sounds much more akin to the Premier League strategy. The money they’re throwing around is just dumb.
Chelsea paid 10 million more Fofana than Bayern did for De Light, who’s valued at twice as much. Newcastle spent 77 million on a Alexander Isak, when superior attackers went for much cheaper in Lewandowski, Richarlson, Cheisa and Mane.
Even Barca has been getting players for relatively fair value this past window. The only Premier league team that seems to be acquiring players under their market price is Man City, unfortunately.
