Chelsea looking to spend a ton... 140 for Haaland, rumored 70-100 for Grealish. Who they gonna offload to help fund that? Particularly interesting after spending big on Werner, Havertz, Ziyech & Chilwell last summer.

Thats what I'm trying to understand as well. I know they just sold Tomori to AC Milan for $26M but even then they need to make at least $100M in out going players.

I think Abraham is on the way out, wouldn't be surprised if CHO, Emerson and Kovacic were up for sale as well.

EDIT: Forgot that they have like 10 players out on loan including the likes of Miazga, Loftus-Cheek, and Barkley.

They also resigned Giroud with the intent to move him as well from what I read. Also, Pulisic could be moved if he doesn't like coming off the bench. I think his energy is great coming off the bench and has provided a spark when he's out there.

Maybe they can give away Kepa and cash to keep him off the field. The entire team plays worse when he's in goal.

I was hoping Timo might remember how to play during Euro but who am I kidding?

FFP is a joke for Chelsea, City & ManU.

Chelsea had two recent windows where they were under transfer ban and where their net spending was like -$250 million, so they likely had huge profits able to offset FFP even before whatever Abramovich is allowed to put in

Man City supposedly offer 100m + one of Sterling/Jesus/Laporte to Spurs for Harry Kane. Levy planning to reject this bid as he is still trying to convince Kane to stay. Kane will no discuss until Euros are over.

Konrad De La Fuente sold to Marseilles for $3.5million. Should be a good opportunity for him.

First team minutes are the biggest thing for him at this stage of his career.

I really feel like Tim Weah grew exponentially after making the move over to Lille.

Great chance for him to continue to develop as he fights for 1st team minutes. Hopefully this will further add to the winger depth for this WCQ cycle.

Beyond Aaronson, Weah and Arriola there isn't a lot of proven depth in those spots at the international level. Arriola is serviceable for most CONCACAF play with Mexico being the exception.

Jurgen Klinnsman has expressed interest in managing Tottenham. Tbh he may be the best they can get at this point.

Not a huge transfer but one everyone can get excited about...

Caden Clark has officially signed with RB Leipzig. He'll be loaned back to NYRB through the 2021 season and join Leipzig in the winter break.

News from England this morning is that Man City is prepping a $100M bid for Grealish.

And yes that is on top of the bid they are looking to table for Kane. So in total over $200M for 2 players

Whenever I hear Jack Graelish, I think of the movie Scent of a Woman

Konrad De La Fuente to Marseille is official. Not super sure of the details but I think its a good move for the USMNT winger. Moved from Barca.

3M pounds with 50% on future transfer fee. There is no buy-back clause due to Ligue 1 regulations.

Makes me wonder who they are going to get rid of. My guess in that Dan James is on the outs now.

Leipzig shopping with their Upamecano/Konate/Nagelsmann money and are bringing in Andre Silva from Frankfurt. I think this is the first time they've acquired a proven starter rather than an up-and-comer.

Yeah, much less than expected!

It is believed the final fee is 72.9m - with no add-ons.

Yeah, it's a great deal for the guy who finished 2nd in the Bundesliga in goals at 28. They have an incredible front office.

I look forward to the English media absolutely crushing Sancho with expectations

Messi out of contract, Ramos scrubbing RM from social media profiles and his brother allegedly flying to paris. Mbappe supposedly told psg he's not extending his contract. Fun times in la liga unless you're a Barca fan. Imagine Messi leaving and then having to offload griezman or dembele to balance the books. Gotta make you nervous.

I think the only reason Messi hasn't signed a new contract is Barcelona aren't below the La Liga wage limit. They were at over $600M last year

Might be the best move of the summer. I love it when a player I hate joins a team I hate.

Exactly. I had felt my hatred for Ramos waning over the year, so this is really helpful.

I 2nd both these sentiments. Never have been a fan of Ramos. Never will.
