With Sancho starting to look nailed on and Varane looking likelier by the day that puts our spend around the £120-130m mark, add in a few sales like Lingard and we could have another £50m-ish to spend on a CDM (I'm going to assume we don't get Trippier and keep Dalot). What does this get us? It's definitely not Rice or Ndidi money, and Locatelli will likely choose Juve over all others.
Would be getting a top young player like Tchouameni or Camavinga be our best (only?) option with Ligue 1 clubs being in financial peril this summer and forced to sell? I'd love us to take this route, but we really haven't been linked to anyone by any decent sources when it comes to a CDM yet. If you don't count the loose, we're interested in Rice throwaway comments. Beginning to worry we won't get a midfielder once again and it'll be another season of geriatric Matic as our top reserve there.

Even Ruhr Nachrichten have the feeling that the deal is close to completing.

How much is de Jong on? We should do our part in helping out Barcelona by taking him off their hands.
Apparently on 400.000€ per week.
He's not going anywhere unless they lose their mind and bid something stupid like 60M+

Who do they have to sell? Looks like some creative player plus cash swaps with Juve is on the cards

Basically, everything is in Arsenal's hands. The player's chosen Arsenal, so unless Arsenal decide not to sign him, Lokonga won't be going anywhere else.
I haven't seen any links for us and a midfielder. Or they haven't been concrete. Thus I doubt midfielder is on the shopping list this summer.
Once Sancho is complete we'll turn our attention to a CB - hopefully Varane happens. Once that's done we'll work on players leaving and bringing a RB back up. Which might be done, might not. But it's a position that needs addressing. However I don't think Trippier deal will happen. We don't have that much money for him.
150m pounds is 170m euros. 90 for Sancho and 60 for Varane - that's us left with 20m Euros. It has to be rabbit out of a hat deal to get a Trippier/Telles type of full back. Fairly experienced and having a good whip.
Sunderland are considering bringing Ethan Galbraith in on a loan deal.

That's got to be wrong surely? Their total yearly wage bill is only $170M odd isn't it?

Jeez! How big are his wages?

The players would be absolutely idiots if they even think about agreeing to that.

Timo Werner's agent Karlheinz Förster (not sure if it's actually the former player or just a namesake) on whether Nagelsmann can convince him to join Bayern Munich:
A couple of Marseille transfers:
He is but it will always be difficult to keep a hold of him when bigger clubs like Villa come knocking.
So this is what Ornstein's Tweet was based on. There's some hope that a compromise can be reached on 90 million Euros (or what Dortmund were always okay to go down to according to the German outlets).
Will Nuno's team play better football if he had at his disposal the quality that's in Tottenham right now?
They have a good chunk of decent players, besides the obvious Kane and Son, they have Lucas, Dele Ali, Bergwin, Lamela, Lo Celso, Ndombele.
It will be a curious case.

Werent they playing quite counter/transition ish under Mourhinho anyway?
£108m was what they asked for last year. There's debates to be had as to whether the year wait was worth it, considering all our draws in the league, but financially we've done well here in a tight market.
So Real Madrid and Tottenham are after Kounde eh? Decisions decisions..
It looks like Inter have got their new backup keeper.
Indeed. Also good investment on young player, this could be worth the penny if he does well for long term years like 8-9 years.
Good pickup for any side. Proven keeper. Surprised Jose didn’t get him for Roma. I thought he was set on Argentina though?
I’d still take him over our current keepers
Nuno to the Spurs just seems an odd fit to me. I guess it's not like he was their first choice though. Or second. Or...
If that is true, Ed got the price reduced by arround 30 million. Ed is going to get a hefty leaving bonus on that alone.
More like, I was nothing more than a squaddie at Milan and they don’t want me
The state of Barca.
Might sound like sacrilege to some but I think they'd genuinely be better off if he left and they could renew their squad.
