We wouldn’t miss Bernardo, yet Saul would improve us. If both players want out of their respective clubs, and said clubs benefit from both deals, it’s a transfer I’d be more than happy with.

Newcastle have been in touch very recently asking about our players.
It sounds like there might be a new sheriff in town very soon?
And this one has an even bigger gun than ours!

What type of player is Saul? I know he plays in midfield.
He's a really good box to box midfielder or 8 that Simeone has been abusing by playing him LB, CB and wherever Atletico have a gap.
He's a very good dribbler in midfield, he's technically very good, a goal threat if you play him high up the pitch. Doesn't really spray passes around but he will be solid in possession.
He has been linked to moving away from Atletico for a few years because he fell out with Simeone for being too defensive and sticking him at LB for a season when he was just making his breakthrough as a top level midfielder.
He could play instead of Rodri or Gundogan, but he also played well next to Rodri as a midfield 2 in a 4231.

PepKun's mate is relentless. Gundogan, Mahrez, Laporte, Sterling, Jesus, Bernardo.... Have I missed anyone?
Would not mind if all these rumours about players were leaving would be all about Chelsea and Liverpool.
I think there will be 1-2 players shock departures for us this summer and not the ones who would have been expected to leave like Sterling who will probably get a wage rise for his shit season.
Also not much money in the market, Txiki needs to make sure we will not be shafted with these low value/player exchange deals. Strange enough when we are about to bid for players the fee is still sky high despite the market...
Mahrez is the one I would be looking to move on, he has had a good season imo time to cash in as he might not have another great season like this and will be 31 soon.
Gundogan very useful and intelligent player but needs to be used further upfront rather than deep.
Bernardo would be a big loss, very good player and hard working one, Pep did not really look to unlock his creative potential tho as we did not need that, could be one of the reasons he might looking to move on.
Laporte another one would be hard to replace with same quality for the sell price we get for him.
We need a shake up in the squad after winning the league, it might be a bigger shake up than expected/needed.

Translation:
Nobody currently at a club interested in Kane is stupid enough to take that step down.
It's by Ken Lawrence. I would check even if he said it was Tuesday today.
