In the summer window, both Milan and Inter made attempts to sign Manuel Akanji, who was free to leave the Citizens, with his game time dwindling. Despite positive signs from a Rossoneri perspective, a lack of Champions League football, partnered with a lower salary, pushed him to the other side of the city, and he signed for the Nerazzurri.
Simons is currently playing for Tottenham Hotspur, but his situation in England has become increasingly uncertain. The 22-year-old joined Tottenham last summer after a high-profile move from RB Leipzig in a deal worth around €65 million. At the time, the transfer was seen as a major step forward in his career. However, things have not gone entirely according to plan since arriving in London.
Dortmund have identified Gonzalez as a player who could strengthen their attack in the near future. The Bundesliga club are known for spotting young attacking talent early and developing them into top players, and they now appear ready to track the Chivas forward closely over the coming months.
Newcastle don't want to put the player up for sale at the moment. Not even Woltemade wants to make a move now. If he were to do so now, it would give off the impression that he hasn't "made it" at Newcastle. He wants to prove that he's better and is good enough for Newcastle.
Alessandro Bastoni is the centre-back most desired by FC Barcelona's sporting management and coaching staff to strengthen the squad ahead of next season. The Catalan giants have been monitoring the Inter Milan defender for months now, waiting to begin definitive negotiations, both with the player and his club.
When going for players on a Bosman, you have to take into account that the asking prices - both for wages and signing bonuses - are higher in the absence of a transfer fee. This is also the case with Goretzka, who currently earns €7m at Bayern Munich and wants the same from his next club.
I have often said that we have a lot of respect and admiration for FC Barcelona, but there has been no contact with Haaland or his manager with FC Barcelona or any of their candidates for a transfer.
