Haaland, Botman, Perisic, Milan: The 5 transfer window info that you missed on Thursday

Barca dream of Haaland

This is information that makes the front page of Sport this Thursday. According to the Iberian daily, Erling Haaland, courted by PSG, is also FC Barcelona’s priority for next summer. Sports world, who confirms this possibility, explains that the Blaugrana intend to free themselves from the wage bill by selling several players. And on the arrivals side, the Catalan management could take players at the end of the contract so as not to spend huge sums on the transfer window. Marcelo Brozovic (Inter Milan) is notably tracked, as are César Azpilicueta and Andreas Christensen (Chelsea). The final goal: to obtain a substantial envelope for the Dortmund striker.

• Our opinion : We are heading towards a PSG-Barça-Real battle for Halaand. If his release clause is really set at 75 million euros, anything is possible.

Perisic to an extension at Inter…

At the end of the contract with Inter Milan, Ivan Perisic could finally extend it. Although difficult, an extension is now possible according to The Gazzetta dello Sport, which states that the parties met a few days ago. The player, who receives 5 million euros and claimed one more, could be offered a net salary of 4 million for two years. A new meeting would be scheduled in 15 days, but the good weather seems to have returned between Perisic and Inter.

• Our opinion : Perisic may have had an exceptional season, but Inter have a guideline that they cannot cross. Perisic has to make a little effort.

… and Handanovic should stay there

If the Nerazzurri have already completed the arrival of André Onana for next season, Samir Handanovic, he is not announced on the departure. Also according to the Italian daily, the captain of Inter could stay in order to support the goalkeeper of Ajax Amsterdam. “It would be in the spirit of what Juventus had done with Szczęsny and Buffon“, writing The Gazzetta dello Sport. A one-year extension + another optional one is envisaged.

• Our opinion : Rather a good idea on paper. Handanovic could thus accompany Onana in his adaptation to Italian football and his new life at Inter.

Kluivert reflects on his departure from Roma

• Our opinion : Nice has a purchase option (around 13-14 million euros), which can become an obligation under certain conditions. If he continues like this, the prodigal son will remain on the Côte d’Azur.

Milan met Botman’s agent

After trying (in vain) to recruit him during the winter transfer window, AC Milan is back to the charge for Sven Botman. Nikkie Bruinenberg, the player’s agent, was also present on Wednesday at the San Siro during AC Milan’s victory against Lazio Rome (4-0). And the transalpine media mentioned a possible meeting in the Lombard capital this Thursday to discuss a possible transfer of the LOSC defender.

• Our opinion : The Rossoneri want to get ahead of everyone else in the race for Botman. And this upstream work could bear fruit.
