HERE’S YOUR DAILY dose of transfer gossip from the madness of the summer transfer window and who better to guide us through the latest wheelin’ and dealin’s than ‘Arry himself.
Just don’t use the words wheelin’ or dealin’, alright?
Vidal So Soon? Bayern Munich have pinpointed Chilean midfielder Arturo Vidal as the man who can help ease the loss of Bastian Schweinsteiger. The German giants have confirmed an agreement has been reached for the 28-year-old with the remaining details to be sorted out in the coming days.
Right Said Ped: Sergio Busquets has given a strong indication that Barcelona team-mate Pedro is on his way out of the club. The midfielder has confirmed the 27-year-old is desperate for more game-time and with Manchester United set to trigger his £22m release clause, he could be on his way to Old Trafford sooner rather than later.
How Do You Solve A Problem Like Di Maria? The answer could be ‘sell him’. Paris St-Germain are ominously hovering and should a deal for Pedro go through, United will have a tidy replacement for the Argentine who greatly under-performed in his debut campaign.
Jov Lost That Loving Feeling: Steven Jovetic can be exciting and electrifying but he’s not really shown much since joining Manchester City for £22m two years ago. So, a loan move back to Italy makes sense. Inter want him for the season and a permanent deal will follow in 2016.
No Mulling Over Thomas Transfer: It was always unlikely that Bayern would allow two home-grown talents leave the club in the same window and move to the same team. But just in case, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has reiterated how daft it would be.
We Need To Talk About Kevin: Belgian midfielder Kevin de Bruyne was rarely selected for Chelsea and was moved on to Wolfsburg for £18m after just eighteen months in London. He played five games for the Premier League side but has been in superb form in the Bundesliga, scoring 10 goals and making 21 last season. Still, would City really bid £60m for him – a player who flopped when originally coming to England? And, would the player himself return there so quickly, especially with such an inflated price-tag?
