Yes, his wage demands might become a major issue. But before Haaland came, before Donnarumma came, we were all talking about their wages too — and just think about Haaland’s first contract…

Real Madrid have already decided to sell Vinícius, with an asking price of at least €150 million. Manchester City have been in contact with the player’s agent and are currently one of the leading clubs in the race. This could become the most shocking signing of the winter transfer window.

According to the Portuguese newspaper Record, Manchester City will compete with Manchester United in the winter transfer window for Sporting CP midfielder Morten Hjulmand. Record is one of the most authoritative newspapers in Portugal.

Wait, I think I’m a bit confused… Jack Gaughan said we loaned out Akanji in order to meet the Champions League registration rules, but even if we include Donnarumma and leave Ortega unregistered, we’d still have exactly 17 NHG players. So just to take four goalkeepers, we threw out someone who...

@Damien10 Come out, we need to TALK.

need news about a right-back, I can’t stand Nunes anymore! We need a proper full-back! Where is Damien10!

From a reliable Turkish source. I am usually considered a pessimist. Because while everyone on this platform is expecting Wirtz and Rodrygo, I said they won’t join. If I didn’t trust this information, I wouldn’t say it.

Ederson's transfer is expected to be completed within the next two days, and Donnarumma might join on September 1. Galatasaray has sent a revised offer, still below €15 million, but they are likely to accept him. It's coming to an end.

sounds very negative, and I don’t think we’ll sell him. Although the £67m offer is tempting, it seems Soriano’s involvement has changed everything. Maybe £75–80m is a price that would force us to accept, but that would hurt Levy even more than killing him. I can’t see any possibility of him...

I don’t think there will be any big news today. But a reliable Turkish friend told me that Akanji and his agent are satisfied with Galatasaray’s contract. At least the initial talks were positive, and now he needs to decide whether to stay at Manchester City and compete, or go to Turkey for a...

If Akanji accepts Galatasaray’s contract today, then we will complete both the Akanji and Ederson deals and bring in Donnarumma. Otherwise, we will have to let Aké go and keep the other two.

Yes, what I mean is that maybe we’ve set a budget for the Rodrygo deal — rather than pouring in endlessly (even if we could). Maybe Viana is only willing to spend £70m or £80m on him!

Don’t forget, Rodrygo is asking for a salary of £300k per week — that’s four times what Savio earns! And we’d be tying him down to a long-term contract, which is superstar-level treatment. Financially, yes, we could afford it if we wanted to. But this wouldn’t be a rational investment. We might...

Calm down. Of course, if we want, we can buy him. But 100m + 300k for Rodrygo? No, better to spend that money on areas where it’s more needed.

Before Balague’s post, Xabi Alonso also hinted that Rodrygo would stay with the team this season. So yes, Tottenham’s offer did meet our standard (£68m), but the deal collapsed because we couldn’t afford the cost of a replacement.

As I said, this is already a reduced price. A few weeks ago our asking price was higher, but after Galatasaray looked around the market, they came back to continue pursuing Ederson. Viana believes they have no other choice and will pay this price.

At least I said he wouldn’t choose us. The day after I posted it here, BILD published the same news. The reports from Germany were misled by Bayern’s confidence. If it were back in June, I would have confidently said Rodrygo would definitely come. But now, no. Reports from Real Madrid say he...

City’s asking price is €20 million, as confirmed by a media friend from Turkey. This was personally told to Galatasaray by Jorge Mendes. They will make an offer of €11 million today (excluding add-ons). Let’s see how Viana responds.

I must emphasize that we will not be signing Rodrygo. He wants to stay at Real Madrid, and Real Madrid have no reason to lower their price. If Manchester City want to get him, they would need to pay a transfer fee close to €100 million as well as a weekly wage of £300,000. That is unacceptable...

No Rodrygo. Savio out. Eze in.
