Top transfer news

Stay updated with the summer transfer window as we bring to you a fresh digest of the top 10 crucial news of the day, dated July 16th. The day has been abuzz with intriguing rumors and announcements.

Fenerbahçe Ramps Up Its Arsenal

The Turkish club, Fenerbahçe, is one of the major players in the transfer market this summer. Fenerbahçe has already signed Edin Džeko, Sebastian Szymański, Ryan Kent, and a few other newcomers. But it doesn’t stop there.

The latest addition to the Turkish league is Dušan Tadić. The 34-year-old Serbian initially requested a release from Ajax, and then moved to Fenerbahçe as a free agent. His contract is set for two years.

In another development, as per the reliable Fabrizio Romano, Dominik Livaković is transferring to Fenerbahçe. You probably remember this goalkeeper from the 2022 World Cup with the Croatian national team. Many expected him to move to a top club last winter. However, instead, Livaković stayed with Dinamo Zagreb until the summer and headed to Turkey. The Croatian club will receive €9 million for the 28-year-old player.

Mané to Join Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia Instead of Firmino?

Saudi Arabian clubs initially picked European stars one by one, and now they’re hosting a real transfer race. Al-Ahli was the first to show interest in Sadio Mané, having already signed his long-term Liverpool partner Roberto Firmino. The Senegalese winger was reportedly offered a salary of €20 million per season, but the story has not yet evolved.

Now another club is competing for Mané. Al-Nasr, where Cristiano Ronaldo plays, has upped the stakes and offered the 31-year-old Sadio a salary of €25 million. This news comes from Nicolò Schira. Mané is not in Bayern’s plans, and negotiations with Al-Nasr are already in full swing.

Chelsea Acquires Another Young Brazilian

This time, the London club has enlisted the services of 18-year-old forward Angelo Gabriel from Santos. The contract with this promising talent is set for five years, and the transfer fee amounts to €15 million. While the young player hasn’t made a huge splash yet, with only two goals in 21 matches in all competitions this season, surely Chelsea wouldn’t invest in just anyone, right?

“PSG Redeems Its Rising Star”

Young prodigy Xavi Simons has been reclaimed by Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), who exercised a buy-back option to retrieve the 20-year-old midfielder from PSV Eindhoven for €6 million, according to sources like Fabrizio Romano. Simons’ adventures appear to be far from over, as he is tipped for a loan move to RB Leipzig. While several clubs show interest in the player, the German outfit leads the chase, especially if Neymar and Kylian Mbappe stay with PSG this summer.

“Kane in PSG’s Crosshairs, Not Just Bayern’s”

The linchpin of Tottenham Hotspur and the England national team, Harry Kane, is now reportedly on PSG’s radar. The Telegraph indicates that PSG is keen on bolstering its attacking force and considers several players, with Kane being the prime target. PSG’s president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, has initiated talks with Tottenham, expressing confidence in presenting a superior offer for Kane. The potential acquisition of the 29-year-old Englishman seems to be independent of Mbappe’s fate. Now the ball is in Kane’s court.

“PSG Offers Hefty €90m for Juventus Striker”

In what appears to be a bid to further enhance their offensive lineup, PSG is ready to shell out a substantial €90 million, including bonuses, for Dusan Vlahovic from Juventus, as per Alfredo Pedulla. The French club is also prepared to offer the 23-year-old Serbian a €9 million per annum contract. Initial discussions have been held, but a formal offer has yet to be tabled. Juventus seems willing to wait, but not for too long, as Chelsea is eager to offload Romelu Lukaku, who is highly anticipated in Turin.

“Man Utd Targets Bayern Star”

Leon Goretzka may make a surprise move to England, with Manchester United displaying strong interest in the 28-year-old German midfielder, says Sky Sport Germany. However, they may face stiff competition as two to three other top European clubs also wish to sign the player. Interestingly, Bayern Munich seems willing to let go of Goretzka for a fee between €40-50 million. This is largely due to head coach Thomas Tuchel’s preference for midfielders Konrad Laimer and Joshua Kimmich, possibly leaving Goretzka without a starting spot. Goretzka isn’t keen on leaving Munich but may reconsider if he’s kept on the bench.

“Barca Plans Midweek Sale of Three Players”

According to a report by AS, FC Barcelona intends to sell midfielder Franck Kessie, full-back Sergiño Dest, and centre-back Clement Lenglet by Wednesday, July 19th. Each player has potential suitors: discussions are underway with Juventus over Kessie, Dest might return to Ajax, and Lenglet, who had a loan spell at Tottenham, could possibly make a permanent move there. But the clock is ticking.
