Musah will be a rotational player at Milan to start. Start league Cup and rotational against lesser opponents. Theres talks and speculation amongst fans that Bennacer might be sold for 50+M to a saudi side come January as his knee injury might be more serious and the Saudis league doesn't seem to care other then throwing money around like drunken sailors. It open up another EU spot plus Musah wouldn't have to worry about game time.

Milan have changed their offer to Valencia.

It was changed from 18m plus addons to 20m flat. The report said Valencia will accept this change.

$20 million for a backup? Milan must be doing something right.

Yunus Musah to AC Milan, here we go! Agreement sealed between Milan and Valencia on €20m package deal, add ons included. Medical tests next week and five year deal set to be signed. After Christian Pulisic, Musah will join AC Milan.

Turner to Nottingham Forest?

 

[NewlyRetired]

Turner to Nottingham Forest?

I think Arsenal just signed Ramsdale to a long term deal. Would they really spend that much money on a back up?

Any move in the EPL that gets Turner PT would be great obviously. Would he get starters time at Forest? If he doesn't, this will be a worse situation than Arsenal since he won't have Europe games to play in at Forest.

Come to think of it, isn't Forest Whorebath's team?

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

It's silly season, so obviously huge grain of salt.

But Ornstein is a legit journo.

 

[AAABatteries]

United will always have to overpay, just comes with the territory but I don’t get paying $82 million for Höjlund. I trust ETH and if he said get it done then so be it but I don’t have a ton of confidence after what’s happened since SAF retired.

I will say I think it’s good they didn’t pay crazy money for Kane (even though I don’t think Spurs would have ever sold him to United). A young, talented kid on the rise is ideal but not sure this was it. Definitely need help scoring goals so if he can come in and do that then it will be worth it. I like bringing in Mount and Onana - as BMav said, sell some dead weight and it’s a nice next step.

Horvath is there but he's never going to play for them. He was a backup for them when they were in the Championship and then they loaned him out last year when they got promoted. I don't think they view him as more than depth.

Arsenal are exploring buying Brentford's David Raya (who is their starter and quite good). Hard to see a point to that if Turner isn't on the move. My guess is they flip Turner this summer for a small profit. He's not a long-term prospect for them anyway and I'm sure he's itching to play.

And Forest don't have a keeper. They played Henderson and then Navas last year - both were on loan. It's a wide open landing spot.

 

[prefontaine]

Not on the list but I believe Bryan Reynolds has now made a permanent move to Westerlo from Roma

good update. Looks like we can move Reynolds into the "Close" category, at least

===========================

Roma are ready to complete the sale of American fullback Bryan Reynolds.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio of Sky Sport, Reynolds is on the verge of completing a move to Westerlo on a permanent deal following his recent loan spell there.

The Dallas native will depart Roma on a permanent transfer worth €3.5 million plus a 25% sell-on clause.

The two clubs are discussing the final details before completing the necessary paperwork to make the transfer official.

Looks like this is now official

Huge step up for Turner if that were to go through. He'll be holding on for dear life a fair bit, but it'll be fantastic experience. And he's still go like 7-8 years ahead of him at his peak.

Strong start to the 2.Bundesliga season for Greuther Furth- Paderborn gets an 8th min red- Furth storms to a 5-0 win- Julian Green assists on final 2 goals- German American Maximilian Dietz, 21, goes 78 minutes as a RCB in 3-man backline that was untested

 

[prefontaine]

Pukstas scores again today and Split win 1-0. Their first two games have been against the sides that finished 1st and 3rd last year and he's scored winners in both. Not a bad start to the season.

He played as a central mid in a 442. Last season he played a lot of positions including an awful lot as a wing, but seems he's pretty nailed as one of their 6/8s this season.

I like bringing in Mount and Onana - as BMav said, sell some dead weight and it’s a nice next step.

The United tax is real, but they seem to be doing a good job of negotiating the fees down. All of the fees paid have been lower than the reported "initial asking prices" when the players were first linked to United. And I agree, the track record post SAF (And David Gill, got to give the credit) has been poor. But with Woodward out they seem to be doing better in negotiating and players seem to actually want to go to United.

From what I have seen, Hojlund has the size, speed (recorded a top speed .03 faster than Rashford) and movement to be good. Can he finish in the EPL? Will he get the service? If he can, then the price may be a bargain.

Last report I saw was NF was either going to sign Turner or Dean Henderson.

It seems odd to me that Raya would want to go to Arsenal and be a backup. He was a top starter in the EPL last season. I get the CL chance, but is sitting behind Ramsdale what you want? Or will it be a genuine competition between the two. And if it is will Ramsdale be happy?

Regardless, if Turner does move he will play and that is a good thing.

We are not just relegation fodder, we're selling our only attacking outlet because our owners are idiots, and are going down 80-90% of the time unless this kid we've signed from Sweden is the next Zlatan and everyone else missed it, so Trusty would get a lot of work, LCB is a huge hole in our side and he should start immediately

It’s a small-ish risk - they can absorb him being a miss or giving him time to develop. They would need to have a lot of things go right and for a few things to go wrong for others for them to challenge for the title.

Two other things of note that I think shows where things stand with ETH (in a good way) - him letting DDG walk and taking the captaincy from Maguire. Two somewhat big calls but ones he needed to make.

Agreed. I would have liked a better send of for DDG, but he did need to move on. Onana already looks the part. And for sure on Maguire. Bruno was the captain last year and they needed to make it official.

And Sancho looked decent at striker yesterday and Martial does have the capability to play there as Hojlund settles in. Plus Rashford can play there as needed. He is better on the left but with the depth they seem to be building they have options.

Anyway this is probably the wrong thread....

It is a shame because Balo should be in a $25-30m range for a Serie A team. Arsenal are asking for too much if they are hoping for the $40-50m range from a Serie A team imo.
