Transfer Tweets - Europe - 2024/25

Official: Alessandro Nesta returns as Monza's head coach seven weeks after being fired by the same club


 
Funny that city struggle and run straight to the transfer market. Says more about pep that he can’t get a tune out of his current squad. Supposedly best manager in the world and he can’t improve what he has without the best DM in the world.
I've always said it, the guy can't win without Money or Messi....

Christian Pulisic: ‘I never argued with the coach and I never asked to leave. I am very well at AC Milan and I want to continue wearing this jersey. Reading these lies is unacceptable, but let's all continue to stay united and fight together on the pitch, for the club and for our fans.’
 


First call:


For Barcelona to sell Vitor Roque immediately despite the loan, they need to compensate Betis. The compensation: 30% of Abde's rights to Betis, meaning that they will own 80% of Abde's rights, whilst Barcelona owns 20%. Tier 1:
 
Official: Vitor Roque returns to Barcelona as his loan with Betis is terminated

More info on Kimmich (Tier 2):


Kimmich has not decided on his future yet. He also has a formal offer from another unnamed club.
 
Tier 2:

  • Lukeba is currently too expensive for Bayern Munich.
  • Lukeba has 3 release clauses:
    • 2025: €90m
    • 2026: €80m
    • 2027: €65m

Would be good business for Bayern if they can bring in Lukeba and Wirtz this summer. Significantly weakening rivals while strengthening their own hand. Two of the very best players in the league in their positions and in Wirtz’s case, the world. A very Bayern-esque move and a repition of historical strategy. Will help them maintain their stranglehold on the BL and bounce back from the aberration of Leverkusen winning a title. Bayern know how to keep their domestic competition in check.

That said, they won’t pay the release clause this summer for Lukeba. In two years they can get him for 25m less, at which point he’ll have more experience and still be only 24.

Musiala and Wirtz behind Kane, or whatever striker they replace him with in 2-3 years, will be an incredible prospect. Dream stuff if I’m honest, and as a United fan I’m extremely jealous.
 
Tier 2:

  • If Dortmund fail to qualify for Europe, then the agreement between Kovac and Dortmund is severed.
    • Kovac gets 50% of his base salary as part of the severance agreement.
    • Total cost to dismiss Kovac & staff: €3m
  • Kovac's salary: €3-4m/year
