Updates I’ve heard on everything since last week:
As we know about Reijnders and Ait Nouri. Reijnders medical is tomorrow morning. Ait Nouri finished today, signed his contract this afternoon. They’ll probably drop the signing content early next week on the OS.
Cherki. Third time putting this about him but everyone’s getting their knickers in a twist over it not being announced by the big ITK’s. It’s fine. It’s done. Stop worrying if you are. He’s had 2 other teams come in for him last minute (as I’ve put on my other posts) and he said no instantly. PSG offered a lot more money and he said no because Pep had already sold it to him. He’s a man of his word and I can’t wait to see him put on that city shirt!
Once Cherki is all wrapped up and the inks on the paper, we’re putting our foot down and accelerating for Livramento. Heard Newcastle want like £90m for him which is understandable (being English, young and clubs trying to make us overpay still). He really wants to come here too. Arsenal have had a sniff around but he’s told them no unless we don’t go in for him. I expect us to make tracks on this during the Club World Cup, Newcastle are going to stick their heels in. But I’m confident.
As Tolm said the other day, we’re definitely still interested in MGW. He wants to come here and heard Phil’s been down his ear asking him to come too (seeming as they’re best mates). Might be a tricky one with what they’re asking for.
Heard a few on outs too. Obviously Jack we know is looking for a new club. Looking like Everton or Villa (loan) more now after Newcastle balked at his wage demands. Stones has spoke to Moyes and has his eyes on a move back there and may not be included in the CWC squad. If Galatasaray offer anything at all for Gundo, he’s gone too. Definite interest. Ederson still wants to leave for Saudi and Pep saying that he’s staying was a show of confidence because no Saudi clubs have come back in for him yet. Bernardo is definitely staying for this year.
Heard a bit of a mad one too: Leao from AC Milan. He’s put the feelers out for a new club and we’ve definitely had a flirt but it all depends on in’s and out’s. Still expect him to go somewhere else but crazy we’ve actually entertained it. Arsenal more likely as they want him or Rodrygo.
Some week and I think next weeks going to be even better.
