Official: Roman Saïss signs for Besiktas
A large summary of what the deal means for Barcelona and how this will affect their transfers:
Transfer plans:
- Barcelona have decided to sell 49.9% of Barça Licensing and Merchandising (BLM) + 10% - 25% of their La Liga broadcasting rights.
- Total proceeds: 400-800 million Euros
- BLM sale: 200-300 million Euros
- Broadcasting rights: €200m per 10% of the rights (or up to €500m in total)
- For the current fiscal year (ending on June 30), they will sell only 10% of the rights
- Defence
- Barcelona hope to buy both Marcos Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta for low prices.
- Azpilicueta has a promise from Granovskaia to be allowed to leave even after the 1-year extension.
- Chelsea are interested in Barcelona's Alejandro Balde.
- Koundé prefers Barcelona and is waiting for their proposal despite Chelsea's advanced interest.
- Barcelona will hope to offer cash + players to Sevilla.
- Midfield
- Xavi prefers Real Sociedad's Martín Zubimendi to take over from Busquest.
- Xavi wants Bernardo Silva for one of the more advanced midfield roles.
- Bernardo wants to play for Barcelona.
- Conditional on Frenkie De Jong leaving
- Sale no longer necessary for financial reasons, but Xavi doesn't like Frenkie's profile (Bernardo's is more appealing to him)
- Barcelona hope to finally be able to seal Gavi's contract renewal.
- Attack
- Barcelona sees Ousmane Dembélé as being more likely to leave the club than stay.
- Already an agreement in principle with Raphinha, but Leeds are asking for €50m, which is expensive for Barcelona.
- Barcelona can finally offer Bayern Munich a tempting offer for Lewandowski.
Meeting at Paris Saint-Germain to decide whether to activate Vitinha's release clause - 40 million euros. Porto is not available to sell for anything other than the 40 million in cash.
Update Polter: As just reported in the Transfer Update, a transfer to Eintracht Frankfurt has collapsed! There are three forward candidates: Alario is in the pole [position]. Weghorst + X are also still in the race.
That choice of clubs is underwhelming but i am glad that the figured out what was wrong with him so it could be treated. It cost him beings worldclass but he is still earning millions kicking a ball, has his health figured out and seems like a reflected guy.Sad to see his decline.
Yeah, Romano was reporting in May that Demiral's option would be triggered by Atalanta. After that, Di Marzio reported that Atalanta won't trigger the purchase option, but yesterday, they suddenly had a change of heart and decided to trigger his option in the end. Romano, however, never changed his tone throughout this period.So he was right in the end. But didn't Romano say that the option wasn't gonna be triggered in between those two tweets?

Paris Saint-Germain will pay 40 million Euros to FC Porto for Vitinha. French club hasn't informed FC Porto yet but the decision is already taken. Vitinha will sign a five-year contract at PSG.
In the next few hours, Juve will receive Di Maria's official response, who will try to convince him by offering him a contract tailored to his needs: 1 year guaranteed and 1 year optional.
Barça's option is the one that has most appealed to the player and his family for the last two weeks, when the interest of the Catalan giants became clear.
The Argentine does not want to wait without guarantees and Juve have seen a loophole to try to sign him NOW.
Allegri, key.
In recent weeks Di Maria has made it known to those closest to him that he and his family would prefer to finish his European career in Barcelona or Lisbon (Benfica) as a personal choice.
But the team most in a hurry to sign him is Juve.
Di Maria has taken his time, while waiting for the moves of others, but in a couple of days he should give a definitive answer to Juventus, who believe they have done everything possible to sign the Argentine.
Torino has come to offer for Mandragora a total of about 8 million [Euros]. Not enough. Juve wants more and has reiterated this even in the last hours to the Granata club.
