Other Club Transfers 2022

Sesko to United?

@Nymzee

Doubt they'll sell him this Summer, next year. Tend to keep them for one breakout full starter season then sell.

Preoccupied with can Barca afford him more than why Bernardo would want to leave City for such a doomed destination. Chelsea fans thought similarly

Spoiler

He won't have that much hair left by the time your bunch of disrespectful cheap lady parts sign him.

Maddison to the horse punches. Leicester wanting 60 mill.

Leicester have financial woes like us. They have a wage bill they can’t afford without European football

First was not a fringe player, he was playing most of the matches and Pep publicly lauded his value to the club. Second was also key but injured at the time he was pursued. Pep does not stand in the way of players who do not want to remain, he will do the same with Bernardo whose dream it is to join Barca - Guardiola knows better than anyone the pull of Barca

So what’s the real deal with the De Jong situation? Apologies if already covered previously

No deal apparently...yet

I meant more about the wages which seem to be the hold up for any potential deal if what I read is accurate

The deal with respect to wages is that the player signed a hefty contract under Bartomeu (€14M annually), then they renegotiated the contract to defer some of those wages later into the contract to meet La Liga FFP (€3M in 2020, €9M in 2021 - that €16M deferred spread over last 4 yrs of his contract) and when Laporta took over in 2021 & assessed the wage mess at the club made a number of decisions to shed itself of exorbitant contracts and players who were not adding anything to the squad. Frenkie's deferred wages amounted to a financial ticking bomb for Laporta - he made moves over first 12 months of his 2nd tenure to reduce the imbalance but high wages remain

The 4 last beneficiaries of Bartomeu's financially wreckless policies are Umtiti (hobbled), Neto (unwanted), Pjanic (End of his career) and FDJ (who is valuable but wages are highest in team). Frenkie stands to currently receive €18M this season, €28M in 2023. Player & club are publicly saying he is going nowhere but in truth they are trying to negotiate a severance package for those deferred wages

My guess, he is moved ultimately (likely ManYoo) but a negotiated reduction in those deferred wages as the club cannot afford it under the FFP rules - they have the money but cannot spend it and be within the rules. Moreover, every player in the squad had accepted a reduction in salary except Frenkie (He just deferred the wages rather than lower it). But sides have a legitimate argument - FDJ deserves what his contract stipulates and Barca under Laporta are entitled to shed the club of exorbitant contracts he inherited to ensure viability of squad/club. A solution will be found

If rice is giving them one more season it's a good tactic by west ham.
He guarantees 100m minimum even if he is garbage this season.
Spend it now to try strengthen now to get money back in league places, euro ventures and generally cementing that 'best of the rest' tag.
If it doesn't go to plan......sell rice

If he does his knee they'll be a bit stuffed...

Have Southampton hired Zat as their DOF?

Who have they signed? Not paid much attention...

Sorry, but nothing will ever top this

This is class

Wish we signed an Italian just to do something similar

Just a lot of young and unproven kids by the look of it. Could be a good strategy though if Livramento is anything to go by

Basically Barcelona want to sell him so they don't have to pay him. Frankie has essentially said that he's fine with actually just getting paid the crazy amount that they agreed to in the first place. I'd say understandably so. The hold up is they have to find an "agreement" but reality is they are just trying to strong arm him into not demanding what he's owed.
