Transfers – Kane, OM, Zouma, Lille, Saul, Juve: the 12 transfer window information that you missed on Sunday August 1

KANE DECIDED TO JOIN MANCHESTER CITY

The Citizens will hit hard on the English market this summer. In addition to Jack Grealish who is due to arrive for a record amount, Harry Kane could also join Manchester City. According to The Telegraph, the Tottenham center forward will meet his leaders next week to make them understand that he wants to engage with the champions of England.

• Our opinion : Kane appears ready to go to a standoff with Spurs but needs to be wary as City may not have the funds to recruit him.

NEGOTIATIONS TAKEN FOR ROMERO

The next few days promise to be hot for Spurs. In addition to the Kane case, Tottenham and their sporting director Fabio Paratici must manage the Cristian Romero case. The Argentine central defender is the target of the London club but Atalanta resists. According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, the 23-year-old international is pushing to join Spurs and the situation between the two clubs is tense.

• Our opinion : Despite these tensions, the three parties should be able to find common ground financially.

IT’S STUCK FOR ZOUMA IN WEST HAM

The transition from one London club to another is proving difficult for the Frenchman. According to Sky Sports, Kurt Zouma is West Ham’s priority and the player wants to leave Chelsea. However, the Blues are claiming 30 million euros in exchange for their 26-year-old central defender. Which seems too much for the Hammers like the salary of the international tricolor. Suddenly, West Ham talks with Fiorentina for the Serbian Nikola Milenkovic.

• Our opinion : Zouma will recover quickly if he has to stay with the European champions.

BOLOGNA RECRUITS ARNAUTOVIC

It was expected, it is now official: Marko Arnautovic has joined Bologna. The Rossoblu have announced the arrival of the Austrian international from the Chinese club Shanghai SIPG against a transfer fee estimated at 3 million euros. The 32-year-old forward has signed up for the next two seasons.

• Our opinion : Despite his sulphurous nature, Arnautovic is expected to do good to the Bologna attack and did not cost much anyway.

NTCHAM LEAVES THE CELTIC

The situation of the midfielder becomes clearer. Loaned by Celtic to OM in the second half of last season with some noise, Olivier Ntcham was back in Scotland but the Glasgow club announced that they had terminated their contract by mutual agreement. The 25-year-old Frenchman posted a thank-you message on Instagram. If OM had not exercised the purchase option, Ntcham was present in the stands of the Vélodrome last night to attend the friendly match against Villarreal.

• Our opinion : A funny end after four years at Celtic for Ntcham but the rebound is certainly not far.

KRYCHOWIAK LEAVES LOKOMOTIV MOSCOW FOR KRASNODAR

The former Parisian changes air but remains in Russia. FC Krasnodar have announced that they have reached an agreement with Lokomotiv Moscow for the transfer of Grzegorz Krychowiak. The 31-year-old Polish international midfielder is now expected to undergo his medical examination before signing his contract.

• Our opinion : A regression for Krychowiak because Lokomotiv will play in the Europa League unlike Krasnodar.

LILLE TAKES HIS LUCK FOR GRBIC

The Mastiffs are desperately looking for a new doorman and are multiplying the leads. After Areola, Rico or Rajkovic, Lille is now interested in Ivo Grbic, substitute goalkeeper for Atlético Madrid according to Sky Italia. The Cochoneros could take a loan for the 25-year-old Croatian.

• Our opinion : By dint of searching, Lille will eventually find but the season will already be started.

SAUL IS LOOKING FOR A DOOR OF EXIT IN ENGLAND

Barça’s door has closed but Saul Niguez is still trying to leave Atlético. As reported Brand, the midfield agents went to England to meet the leaders of Manchester United but also those of Liverpool. The Red Devils are preparing for a possible departure of Paul Pogba. The Reds want to compensate for the loss of Georginio Wijnaldum.

• Our opinion : The English clubs have the means to recruit the Spanish international but Atlético will have to give up on his departure clause set at 100 million.

KAIO JORGE A STEP FROM JUVENTUS

The Old Lady holds her new nugget. According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Juventus have finalized an agreement with Santos for the transfer of Kaio Jorge for 3 million euros plus another as a bonus and a percentage on a possible resale. The 19-year-old Brazilian striker must now sign a 5-year contract with the Turin club.

• Our opinion : A nice shot from Juve who followed the player for a long time.

REAL READY TO PAY 60 MILLION FOR TORRES?

Despite the arrival of David Alaba, Real Madrid are still looking for reinforcements in the defensive sector to fill the departures of Sergio Ramos (PSG) and Raphaël Varane (MU). The Jules Koundé track remains relevant but is not the only one. According to The Sun, the leaders of the White House would seek to recruit Pau Torres. Villarreal was even reportedly approached for his 24-year-old Spanish defender with an offer of … € 60million.

• Our opinion : An amount that seems very high given the current economic situation and Real’s finances.

REIMS RETAINED TOURÉ

Unhappy with his playing time last season (11 starts), El Bilal Touré wants to leave the Stade de Reims and refuses to train. But Jean-Pierre Caillot, the club’s president, closed the door to a departure of his 19-year-old Malian striker, under contract until 2024, telling France Bleu: “There are players who have exit vouchers, he does not. He must get back very quickly in the direction of travel and have a good season to evoke a departure”.

• Our opinion : Boulaye Dia having left for Villarreal, Touré, 19, will necessarily have more playing time.

OM REBATES NEWCASTLE OFFER FOR KAMARA

The Marseille club want to sell their midfielder but not at any price. Under contract until 2022, Boubacar Kamara is on the shelves of Newcastle, who approached OM with an offer of 14 million euros. But Olympian leaders rejected the proposal, according to the newspaper The team.

• Our opinion : This file should be settled at the end of the transfer window.
