That could ruin the dressing room spirit given some are only on £15,000

It seems Frenkie De Jong is heading to Chelsea on loan after secret talks held between them and Barcelona.

it would be really funny if Chelsea got him. Personally i think united should have given up on him a long time ago

I mean, we poached Mikel from under Utd's nose. They certainly didn't miss out on that one. Most forgettable player ever.

You'd have a 2 man squad of Maguire and AWB if that was the case

Fortuna Sittard keeps on delivering in the transfer market


now also Inigo Cordoba (whom was loaned out to Go Ahead Eagles last season where he made strong impressions to many dutch top teams here but Isitan Gun's resources are more than enough to beat clubs like AZ, FC Utrecht)





imagine a offence like Cordoba, Yilmaz, Seuntjens


Rodrigo Guth and Siovas as our central defensive duo also a powerful combo, wow

especially amazing considering Fortuna were almost bankrupt couple years ago before the Isitan Gun takeover, he cleared us from all debts first and now he can begin investing into the club



and we aren't done yet, we still haven't given up on american midfielder Cole Bassett either, which has a bit of trouble regarding a work visa

If Cole bassett arrives, it's a wrap for the rest of Europe. Might as well just hand out the prizes now.

Now Chelsea want Saint-Maximin.

Both Athletico and Real Madrid have apparently already rejected him.

Arsenal officially confirm Oleksandr Zinchenko transfer as Mikel Arteta reunites with Ukrainian for £30m

Arsenal have confirmed Oleksandr Zinchenko as Mikel Arteta’s fifth summer signing in a £30million deal with Manchester City.

The Ukrainian reunites with the Gunners boss, both having joined City within a day of each other in July 2016 as Arteta builds his side for a return to European football.

Zinchenko, who cost Pep Guardola’s club £1.7m when arriving from Russian side Ufa, won four Premier League titles along with an FA Cup and quartet of Carabao Cups in his time on Eastlands.


Mikel Arteta said of the deal: “We’re so happy Alex has joined us.

“He’s a player that I personally know really well and continued to follow him after my time at Manchester City. Alex is a high quality player who will give us options and versatility. It's not only about the positions he can play but as well, the versatility he will give us in attack and defence.

Unpopular opinion, i don't really rate Zinchenko. I think Arsenal have done good enough business though.

Also i think it'll be the most unpredictable season ever, what with the World Cup in Nov/Dec.

Well, and Liverpool with Salah.

are any PL teams interested?

Dries Mertens will leave Napoli as a free agent, as President Aurelio De Laurentiis explained the situation. ‘We thank him for everything he did here, but when it’s cold hard cash, we have to say no.’

The striker is the club’s all-time top scorer who has been at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona since 2013, scoring 148 goals in 397 competitive matches for the Partenopei.

His contract expired on June 30 and there had until today been some hope of negotiating a new deal with a reduced salary, but these comments suggest the door has now been shut.

“I feel the love for the club, but I must never forget that football is also an industry as well as pure passion,” De Laurentiis told Radio Kiss Kiss.

“Unfortunately, that means sometimes going against what the fans want. When a supporter tells me, why don’t you keep Mertens, I can only reply that Mertens offered himself to us for another year, because he knows that he’s 35 and then has to retire.

“If he makes it a matter of cold, hard cash too, then I have to say no. If I have to pay a disproportionate salary to Mertens, that would take money away from the budget of next season, when it will be needed to sign younger players.”

So does that mean Napoli have said goodbye to Mertens, after Lorenzo Insigne, David Ospina and Kalidou Koulibaly?

“Yes, I offered him €4m per season gross and he refused. So I said thank you very much to you, your son Ciro, your wife, for everything you’ve done here and the extraordinary goals scored, but we cannot go beyond our capabilities.

“I need to have money to buy young players who can represent Napoli in future seasons. When we changed all the older players to bring in those like Mertens and Koulibaly, the fans were doubtful, but they became champions here.”

Mertens had been on a salary of €4.5m per season net when the contract expired on June 30.

As De Laurentiis confirmed to a fan this week, he had initially offered the veteran a wage of €1.8m per season net, which would’ve been a huge cut.

He increased that to €1.8m and then eventually €2.4m, but that too was rejected.
