Transfer News Around the World


Bayern Munich and Juventus have agreed to pay €80 million for Matthijs de Ligt.

Bayern Munich and Juventus have agreed to terms on the transfer of Dutch defender Matthijs de Ligt. De Ligt joined the Italian giants in 2019 after staring in Ajax's Champions League semi-final run, and while he initially started behind Giorgio Chiellini and Leonardo Bonucci, he quickly established himself in the starting XI and impressed.

We understand the two parties have reached an agreement, with Bayern potentially paying €80 million to sign the 22-year-old—€70 million guaranteed and €10 million in add-ons. De Ligt has already agreed to a five-year contract, so all that is needed now is medical and official approval. De Ligt will depart for Juventus after three seasons.

Paulo Dybala has agreed to join Roma.

According to reports, Paulo Dybala's move to Roma has been completed, with the former Juventus forward signing a three-year contract. After leaving Juventus as a free agent at the end of last month, the Italian capital-based club were in a three-way battle for his services with Napoli and Inter Milan. However, Sky Sport Italia claims that Roma have won the race and that the Argentine international will sign a contract worth £5 million (€6 million) per year plus bonuses until 2025 with the Stadio Olimpico. That conversation appears to have been crucial for Dybala, as Mourinho explained Roma's project to him, with the only thing missing now being the final signature.

Chelsea is currently leading the KOUNDE race.

According to Spanish media, despite Xavi's efforts to persuade the French international to change his mind and join him at the Camp Nou, the Blues remain ahead of Barcelona in the race to sign Kounde.

 

The Catalan club has already signed Franck Kessie, Raphinha, and Robert Lewandowski this summer, with Kounde the next big target of their spending spree.This, however, contradicts their interest in Alonso and Azpilicueta, who will both demand first-team football if they leave the Blues. Jules Koundé appeared to be on his way to becoming a Chelsea player last summer, and while that fell through and the track had cooled in recent weeks, we've begun chopping away the overgrowth and clearing a path for him once more. According to multiple Spanish media outlets, including ABC de Sevilla and Diario AS, we have made our "first formal offer" of the summer, valued at €55 million plus add-ons.

According to Spanish media, despite Xavi's efforts to persuade the French international to change his mind and join him at the Camp Nou, the Blues remain ahead of Barcelona in the race to sign Kounde.

Chelsea have made a £40 million bid for Presnel Kimpembe, the PSG defender.

Chelsea have made a £40 million bid for Presnel Kimpembe of PSG and are in talks with Sevilla about Jules Kounde, who is also wanted by Barcelona. Thomas Tuchel is looking to bolster his defence this summer, and after signing Kalidou Koulibaly from Napoli, he has turned to the French centre-back. PSG is said to be willing to sell Kimpembe for around £42 million. The Ligue 1 champions are also in talks with Juventus about signing the 26-year-old French international. He had previously worked with Thomas Tuchel as manager of the Parc des Princes for two and a half years.

FC BARCELONA'S SEASON WILL BEGIN AGAINST RAYO VALLECANO.

Last season, the Catalan giants finished second in the table, 13 points behind champions Real Madrid, while Rayo impressed on their return to Spain's top flight from the Segunda Division, finishing 13th.   Barcelona failed to win a trophy in the 2021–22 season, but the club will be expected to challenge for major silverware this season, especially given their summer business, with a number of statement signings arriving despite the club's ongoing financial problems. Andreas Christensen, Franck Kessie, Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski, and Jules Kounde have all arrived to bolster the squad, while it is believed that Chelsea's Marcos Alonso and Manchester City's Bernardo Silva are still on the club's radar, making it an even more unusual window for the club. However, there has been a lot of nervousness, concern, and pessimism among fans in the last week or so as Barcelona struggled to register their new signings due to their bloated wage bill. However, late Friday night...

THE JOAN GAMPER TROPHY PITS FC BARCELONA AGAINST PUMAS UNAM.

   The Joan Gamper Trophy, also known as the Joan Gamper Cup, was established in 1966, with the Blaugrana inviting Anderlecht from Belgium, Nantes from France, and Koln from Germany to the inaugural event. It had four participants until 1997 Barcelona and three other invitees and consisted of two semi-final ties, a third-place playoff, and a final. The Blaugrana won their first championship, defeating Cologne 3-1 in the final. Due to an increased fixture list, the Joan Gamper Trophy underwent changes in 1997, abandoning the previous format in favour of a one-off match style. Furthermore, there is no extra time in the competition, with a penalty shoot-out deciding the winner if the game is tied after 90 minutes. This tournament has drawn teams from all over the world, including fellow Spanish powerhouses Atletico Madrid and Valencia, as well as South American behemoths Boca Juniors, River Plate, and Santos. In 2017, Barcelona invited Chapecoense to the 52nd Joan Gamper Trophy...

CHELSEA WILL PLAY TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR AT HOME FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS 2022/2023 SEASON

Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur meet at Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon, looking to build on their first weekend victories in the Premier League. Spurs easily defeated Southampton, 4-1, before Chelsea won a close game away at Everton later in the day. Chelsea were vulnerable as they faced Everton at Goodison Park, with the club still looking to move players in and out. Nonetheless, Thomas Tuchel's team prevailed by a 1-0 score, with Jorginho scoring the game's only goal from the penalty spot. There were aspects of Chelsea's performance that would have disappointed their manager, but this was a game where only the final result mattered as Chelsea sought to maintain their lead in the title race. Aside from Marc Cucurella being given a full week with his new teammates, little has changed in terms of new arrivals ahead of this London derby. That said, Tuchel will expect a far more efficient display from his team, who will be aware that they have to develop a ruthless streak ...
