It has to be pissing their players off that they have 70M to spend on Raphinha but no money to pay wages they are owed. Isn't the total of their deferred wages something around that number? 80M?
The first, Raheem Sterling, for 55 million Euros. Chelsea are planning medical tests.
Chelsea are close to signing Raheem Sterling and Nathan Aké. Small details remain to be worked out between clubs but there is optimism.
Chelsea must sign a new player first, then they will be more open to negotiate the sale of César Azpilicueta. Now the Blues are asking an off-market price, between 9 and 10 million Euros. In time, it will come down.
Aymeric Laporte visited his home town of Agen on Friday, where a stadium now bears his name. The Manchester City Spain international took the opportunity to reflect on his season, his future and La Roja.
You feel fulfilled at Manchester City. Are you staying next season?
Yes, I'm very happy and fit. So is the team. The only thing left is the common goal, the Champions League, but we're going to do everything we can to get it this year.
You said that Manchester was your future. But do you see yourself playing in Ligue 1 one day?
At the moment, that's not the goal. I have three years left on my contract. I'm happy and so is the club. I've played a lot of minutes: I'm the central defender who has had the most. I am a reference and I am very happy that the coach and Manchester City have confidence in me. So why not continue for a long time.
Raphinha sees himself at Barça
Leeds United's Brazilian winger is ecstatic because he knows that his move to Barça is just a matter of time.
As far as I know, Barça and Leeds have it ALL locked up since last week with 50M fixed + variables in 10M.
The transfer will be paid in 3 instalments, Barca are waiting for the activation of the 2nd lever to make the deal official.
Raphinha only FCB, and still quietly waiting.

Wonder wtf we do now that our 2 top winger targets after Sterling are off the table.

It’s a bit odd that with a German manager he hasn’t been a target at all. He’s the kind of direct, aggressive wide player that Tuchel is apparently after and yet there haven’t really been any links to him.I don't know about you but I'm going to camp out in the Gnabry thread
Newcastle interested in Raúl de Tomás. Juventus has also been informed about the situation of the Espanyol striker, who could leave for around 35 million euros
I do not understand. People told me about this discussion but the last thing that would have crossed my mind is that we have to do this (sign another midfielder).
No, (we’re not looking to buy), I can say that. I don’t think something will happen in midfield. You never know, if somebody comes to me and says ‘I want to go’…but nobody came to me yet. If that happens, then we have to talk new. But if the situation stays like it is, then tell me why would we? We can go through it. Where do you want to start? So, Fabinho, (Jordan) Henderson, Thiago, (James) Milner, (Naby) Keita, Curtis Jones, Harvey Elliott, Fabio Carvalho, (Alex) Oxlade-Chamberlain. Now you tell me what kind of player are we missing?
