If Costa is close to returning to Atletico, Chelsea may well move for Morata, which in turn would free some funds for Madrid.Cerezo (president of Atlético) about Costa: "We like him a lot, we talk to the player and are working to see him back, he is close", he also said "Bacca is a great player but we are not signing any player from Serie A.That is valid for him and all the rumors(Icardi?) "Tweet

There's no chance Sporting would sell for anything near that. Especially after the very decent tournament he just had. Will be close to his release clause if anything.Wow Steal of the summer.
Carvalho for me was one of the most underrated players at Euros. The way everyone expected Pogba to play Carvalho did for Portugal.
He box to box, very good defensively, can play a lovely long pass and is fit as a ox. Perfect player for Arsenal or City
Pretty significant downgrade going from a prolific goal scorer in Costa to Morata who is more of a support striker in a partnership. I don't think (hope) the club would do this.If Costa is close to returning to Atletico, Chelsea may well move for Morata, which in turn would free some funds for Madrid.
Madrid can find 120m euros. It's the fact they're not willing to spend it all on Pogba that holds them backIf Costa is close to returning to Atletico, Chelsea may well move for Morata, which in turn would free some funds for Madrid.
Didnt they sign Batshuiyi?Pretty significant downgrade going from a prolific goal scorer in Costa to Morata who is more of a support striker in a partnership. I don't think (hope) the club would do this.
Selling Costa would be a mistake. If Morata is still a target it should be to play with Costa, not as a replacement for him.

Yes, we did. But he's a young player with limited experience and will be brand new to the PL. A strike partnership of Morata and Batshuayi would be pretty risky. Having an experienced player like Diego Costa next to one of them would be much more ideal.Didnt they sign Batshuiyi?
I may the only one not getting the hype on W.Carvalho.There's no chance Sporting would sell for anything near that. Especially after the very decent tournament he just had. Will be close to his release clause if anything.
No I agree with you. I don't think he'll ever be world class. Saying that, I think Eric Dier has been vastly overrated by some aswell.I may the only one not getting the hype on W.Carvalho.
Sure, he had a decent EURO, yes, he is a physical specimen with quite decent defensive positioning and tactical awareness. But tbh so does someone like Wanyama.
What they both lack is in the technical department, and maybe a bit more pace.
They are not at the top level imo, and i'd be surprised if Carvalho ever became a player to fit in at United.
Then again, i seem to be in the minority with this opinion.
I'm not so sure. I think it was in Marca today that Madrid have a massive debt and that thy would have to sell before they bought, especially for a fee that high. They also did mention that they weren't willing to pay that much for Pogba.Madrid can find 120m euros. It's the fact they're not willing to spend it all on Pogba that holds them back
Yep, AS reported the same thing. Gross debt of over 600 million euros and that they'd been to sell big in order to buy big.I'm not so sure.

Might be hoping for a 'Boateng'?If they dont pay this summer, he is gone.
I dont think so with Pep at the helm. He knows what he wants and he gets players who thinks fit his system unlike Mancini.Might be hoping for a 'Boateng'?
Aye, probably not, but better players have come to the PL and found it a tricky league to adjust to. I'm not sure any of supposed title challengers would carry an expensive player for more than a couple of seasons if they don't perform (I'm not suggesting that'll happen here, necessarily). I don't think Sterling would survive another bad season, for example.I dont think so with Pep at the helm. He knows what he wants and he gets players who thinks fit his system unlike Mancini.

As confirmed by the two following tweets.Pretty shite day in terms of rumours.
Agreed. That being said i'd rather have Dier than Carvalho. Dier is s bit rough on the edges, and is not a player with the most extreme skills, but he is more well-rounded than a Carvalho/Wanyama type, imo.No I agree with you. I don't think he'll ever be world class. Saying that, I think Eric Dier has been vastly overrated by some aswell.

You would think Ferrari/FIAT would bring in more money wouldnt you?I'd be very surprised if Juventus paid 94m for any player any time soon.. They'll probably try to get him on a loan and offer to pay 50% of his wages.
Looked good, but you get a lot of time in International football. Looks a bit slow. Good price for him though.Wow Steal of the summer.
