What Andreas Pereira said about the Copa Libertadores in an ad-hoc interview with one of the Flamengo supporters' groups:
You can count on me, I’ll stay here until we win the next one.

  • Barcelona want Dembélé's contract situation to be resolved by the 15th of December.
  • Barcelona are annoyed by Dembélé and his agent's delay tactics.
    • Fear that the player is being offered to the highest bidder
  • (Somewhat speculative) Newcastle and Manchester United are being given more hope to sign Dembélé as a result of this delay.

Partial translation:

The remainder includes Ferran Reverter stating that the club is able to renew Dembélé's contract.

None of these bits of info are actually coming from Falk. He's relaying information from other Bild journalists (see here). Falk himself doesn't tend to have good sources; the only Bild journalist with good sources nowadays is Tobi Altschäffl, who covers Bayern Munich.

I'd take each and everyone of them.

That Nkunku kid has been very, very impressive to be fair. He deserves a call up for France.

It's a bit ridiculous that he hasn't been called up recently. Would love to have him at United, can practically play everywhere in attack and considering Lingard, Martial, Mata and Cavani will be gone soon, there would be a place for him.

Two key takeaways:
  1. Some Everton players feel like they've outgrown the club and want out (Richarlison?)
  2. Everton may not have the money to strengthen the RB & CM positions.

  • City are willing to negotiate, but they won't offer a discount.
    • Barcelona are able to make up for the difference (somehow).
  • Ferran Torres wants to leave City and is wiling to take a pay cut to join Barcelona.
    • He can push for the transfer if needed.
  • Ferran Torres will get a 5-year contract from Barcelona should an agreement between the clubs be found.

Translation:

Dembélé is keen to stay with Barcelona, but he wants an improved offer. Moussa Sissoko (the player's agent) thinks that his client is a potential Ballon d'Or winner and should be treated accordingly.

Summarised translation:

Basically, Watzke was ruling out the particular amount of the release clause (€75m - €100m). He wasn't necessarily ruling out a release clause altogether.

Whilst this reads more like an opinion piece, we do get to learn that Liverpool's Nat Phillips is one of Newcastle's targets for the upcoming winter transfer window.

Ignore the image in the Tweet. Basically, Portuguese prosecutors are investigating €20m worth of illegal payments pertaining to football transfers involving Portuguese clubs. FC Porto is one of the clubs involved in this.

Here we go again...

  • Dembélé isn't responding to Barcelona's recent proposals.
  • The agent's playing a big role in this.
    • Convincing Dembélé that he will earn more in other clubs
    • Newcastle and Manchester United touted as potential destinations
  • Man. Utd. are capable of signing him but have yet to make a move on him.
  • Dembélé is telling people in the dressing room that he wants to stay whilst telling his agent the exact opposite.
  • Plan: see the season off and, hopefully, move to another team

:lol: Of course, the first sign of a transfer budget and Eddie Howe immediately plans to hand some over to Liverpool for one of their young-ish fringe players :rolleyes:

Our name being dragged into this, so his agent can play some poker and try get a better pay for him.
Whilst Newcastle might be interested in him, Dembele was 2nd or 3rd option for us when we were chasing Sancho.

Nonsense, we are crowded in the wings. Can't see us going for him.

Seems unlikely unless we have a big clear out. If Martial, Lingard and Cavani leave then we might well pick him up on a free and have Greenwood as an out and out striker then Dembele, Sancho Rashford and Diallo as wing options?

I'd love to see us pull some shithousery and get him, he's a beast and could be a strong partner for Varane.

What has gone wrong here? Ferran seemed to be doing pretty well under Guardiola as a false 9.

If that was the case I prefer the Nkunku rumours.

In that scenario yes, but you are talking about 3 players leaving and one changing position to free up space for him.

I personally don't see it happening.

Patrick Berger interviewed Michael Zorc, and this is what Zorc had to say about Haaland's contract:
I like to stick to facts. The fact is that we have a contract. But it is also a fact, and it's no secret, that he can leave the club under certain conditions.
He basically confirms that he has a gentleman's agreement with Haaland to allow him to leave the club in the summer on certain conditions.

EDIT: Tweet with English translation

So it's not an official release clause?
