A deal for two stars
Barca’s priority right now is Bernardo Silva. And clearly, his transfer will be complicated to complete as written brand in its inner pages. Manchester City do not want to let him slip away for less than 80 million euros. The Blaugranas do not have the means to take out this sum, a loan was envisaged, but City will never accept under these conditions. Therefore, according to the Mirror, the Barcelona leaders have a new plan: to offer a Frenkie De Jong-Bernardo Silva exchange. It would be a deal that could theoretically suit the European champions as the Portuguese winger is eager to leave and they will get a talented midfielder in return.
Talent flight to England
Saudi Arabia has been blasting the transfer market for a year. The country’s clubs do not seem to want to stop their raid on European football. THE Sunday Mirror dedicates its first page to this desire to dominate the world. Besides, it’s quite paradoxical to have put Lionel Messi on the front page, because he preferred the United States. Finally, the tabloid brings us all the latest information on the departure of Premier League players for the Gulf country. Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson has agreed to join Saudi club Al-Ettifaq on a big salary. Then Allan Saint-Maximin, who was put on sale by the Toons, is very close to joining the Saudi Pro League according to Qatari media. Newcastle are hoping to recoup at least €45m for the Frenchman. The latest target of the Gulf clubs is Fabinho. The Brazilian was left out of the Liverpool group, and according to the Daily Star on Sundayreigning SPL champions Al-Ittihad have made an offer which is around 40 million euros.
Morata validates Roma
It is still Romelu Lukaku who is making the front page of Italian dailies, because his future is once again taking a turn. The Belgian will be at Chelsea tomorrow to start pre-season with the Blues. The Belgian would no longer be very convinced by a definitive departure for Italy. Juventus will still try it by traveling to London to discuss a transfer. The Bianconeri leaders will also pass through Paris to discuss with PSG about the future of Dusan Vlahovic. Another transfer that is making headlines in Italy, that of Morata to Roma. According to information fromAS and Corriere dello SportMourinho is seriously considering signing the Spanish striker, who knows Serie A well. The player has already met with the Roman representatives and would have been attracted by the proposal.
