Looks like he's off to PSG (Fabinho).
it castles is right, Matic leaving is dependent on Chelsea signing two CM/CDM's not just bakayoko. He said Conte will not sell Matic if he only gets bakayoko
I said this a while back - they would only sell one of Bakayoko or Fabinho, whoever was sorted first. Predictably, Chelsea have beaten us to the punch. Matic for us now.
Looks like I was right there, maybe.
God knows what's going on, it seems to be purely all speculation right now, nothing reliable.
Maybe Di Marzio will provide an update if somebody prompts the question.

Maybe we wanted Matic which in that case Monaco have done us a favour.
or we end up with neither. it is a real possibility.
We can sign Fabinho first - they only said no transfers after Bakayoko.
Seen a few people mention something like this on here and it's not quite right. Guardiola left Barca in 2012, Sanchez left in 2014 - Pep didn't sell him. They had a good relationship and Sanchez's positional issues at Barca post-date Pep's departure. Sure they didn't have a master / apprentice relationship but I've not seen anything from Alexis that's less than complimentary towards Pep.
Regarding the striker / winger issue I've read it's the other way round (at least during his time at Arsenal). He wasn't happy being used as a striker last season as he felt isolated from the game too often. He prefers to play on the left as he's far more involved in the build-up.
For a player who has pretty much done nothing in his career, he has played for some pretty high profile clubs. What's his secret?
Compromising photos of some people?
What a crap signing.
Could the info that after Monaco sell Bakayoko nobody else will be leaving be a ploy from Monaco to encourage clubs after their players to just pay up and get the deals finished?
14 in 82 league games over both spells but think he only got 2 last season
I think that we should conclude a couple of signings by now as we should have our team final line prepared properly.
Nah igonore it.
Don't think they will sell Veratti.
The fact they've already signed Tielemans and Meite makes me believe they're preparing for life without Bakayoko and Fabinho
Simon Stone just tweeted that Duncan Castles said that "To explain failure to sign Fabinho, Juve said he'd agreed to join Utd"

which might explain Di Marzio, but what explains the Bouhafsi tweet saying we are in negotiations?
That's nice.
I don't think any journo knows what exactly is going on. All of it seems a bit of a guessing game without any real substance. Castles has been reliable recently but at the same time he's also put out a lot of nonsense as well so he's not the all seeing oracle he's made out to be.
Didn't this happen like a month ago?
Good signing for them. And at least now we can say we got nearly £9m for him in total which isn't too bad.
I'm also starting to think United faked their interest in order to get a bidding war started and raise their own cut. Good strategy if so
Woody will probably still be preparing his bid by the time Bakayoko gets his Chelsea testimonial.He would be 29 during next summer, so a bit old then? About time we were discussing extending his contract.
Just to harp on this some more. ANOTHER discussion of our transfers by Simon Stone, yet absolutely silent on Matic.
Stone/BBC have now discussed Fabinho twice, keane once, lindelof once.
Could castles actually be onto something here? BBC/Stone not reporting matic because it's a deal that requires chelsea to sign two players before Conte will agree?
3 years ? I thought he was like 34.
3 year contract for a man coming up to 35 years of age? Jesus.
I hope to God we're in for Sanchez if he'll move to a prem team.
