€150m for a Serie A star? The English giants can break the bank. It would be a hit [PRZEGLĄD TRANSFEROWY]

The English giants continue their transfer madness. The market also became hot in Barcelona, ​​Madrid and Germany. Mercato surprises again!

The last straight of the winter transfer window promises to be extremely exciting. We would like to remind you that Deadline Day falls on January 31. We can already invite you to a several-hour LIVE coverage from that day. We will start with her at Matchyki around 8:00 and we will be with you as long as it takes. Everything indicates that a lot will happen on the market during these several days. Which of the big clubs will be the most active? For now, the palm of priority does not want to give up Chelsea.

Chelsea madness

Chelsea, who won the transfer race for Mikhailo Mudryk at the end of last week. When it seemed that Arsenal was just a hair away from bringing the Ukrainian, “The Blues” entered the game with impetus and quickly closed the deal with Shakhtar Donetsk and the player himself. According to information from the English media, the winger was tempted by a weekly wage twice as high as the “Gunners” offered him. With bonuses, Mudryk could cost Londoners up to €100m. It must be admitted that this is a big risk due to the Ukrainian representative’s poor experience in serious football. Todd Boehly and his people have already proven that they like to go big. And Mudric quickly landed in the capital of England. He even watched Chelsea’s win over Crystal Palace on Sunday.

This is apparently not the end of the offensive reinforcements of the team from Stamford Bridge. Mudryk and Joao Felix, who was loaned earlier, are to be followed by other players. Fabrizio Romano reported in the first days of January that PSV’s Noni Madueke and Gladbach’s Marcus Thuram were on the CFC’s radar. These are still current topics. According to Eindhoven journalist Rik Elfrink, Madueke is expected to cost up to 40 million euros.

Much more has to be paid to Brighton for Moises Caicedo. According to Ben Jacobs of CBS Sports, Albion is seeking more than £75m. Chelsea have so far only explored the ground, proposing a lower sum of 10 million. It is therefore possible that the Londoners will focus on another, more ad hoc reinforcement to the “holey” midfield.

At the same time, journalists write about the possible airing of the team of Graham Potter. Newcastle are thinking of buying at Stamford Bridge, according to The Telegraph. The Magpies are doing great this season, but they still have a fairly narrow squad. Hence the interest in the trio of Conor Gallagher – Hakim Ziyech – Ruben-Loftus Cheek. The second of these players is supposed to be the easiest to sign, especially if Madueke and/or Thuram land in London.

Arsenal finally concrete

After losing the fight for Mudryk, Arsenal got nervous. Mikel Arteta’s side remain at the top of the Premier League, having recently won the derby against Tottenham, but they still have a “short blanket” when it comes to substitutes. The Spaniard has repeatedly spoken about the urgent need to expand the squad, hence the information about the unsuccessful hunt for the Ukrainian winger could give him sleepless nights. Sports director Edu Gaspar, however, prepared an alternative for Mudryk. Leandro Trossard from Brighton will join the club.

He is not the only winger on Arsenal’s radar. German journalist Patrick Berger reported that the English contacted Bayer Leverkusen to ask about Moussa Diaby’s valuation. The Frenchman would cost around PLN 75 million. However, the Bundesliga club prefers to sell only in the summer.

At the end of the season, Declan Rice could also land on Emirates. The England midfielder is out of contract with West Ham next year. In a few months, “Młoty” will have the last opportunity to make a reasonable profit. The Times claims that the Gunners are the main favorites to buy Rice today. Price? Similar to Diaby.

So will Trossard be the only winter reinforcement of the Premier League leader? The Spanish website “Relevo” reports that not necessarily, because Arsenal is among the candidates for the signing of 18-year-old Ivan Fresneda. He is a talented player of Real Valladolid, who is also to be on the radar of teams such as Juventus, Newcastle, Borussia Dortmund, Manchester United and even Real Madrid. His agent has been spotted in the English capital, which may suggest the London option as the most likely. According to The Athletic, Valladolid value Fresneda at around €15m.

Traffic at Camp Nou

Let’s stay in Spanish climates. It got surprisingly hot at Camp Nou. FC Barcelona has finally reached an agreement with Atletico over the departure of Memphis Depay. He should earn no more than 3-4 million on it. Therefore, the exchange of the Dutchman for Yannick Carrasco, as advised by some media, did not take place. However, the Belgian can still join Barca, but in the summer. Ilkay Gundogan is also linked with a summer transfer to Xavi’s team. Jose Alvarez from “El Chiringuito” even went a step further – he stated that the club had already come to an agreement with the German and he would change Manchester City to “Blaugrana” after the end of the season.

In the context of strengthening Barcelona, ​​there is also talk of Marcelo Brozovic from Inter. Although according to Gianluca Di Marzio, the Croatian rejected the option of moving to Catalonia, but even Gerard Romero does not rule out such a turn of events. The exchange of the midfielder for the failing Franck Kessie is at stake.

Another name being tried on “Barca” is Goncalo Guedes. However, Romero informs that the club are not fully convinced to sign the Portuguese, who is on his way out of Wolverhampton. Even if he himself would have liked to see himself under Xavi’s wing instead of going to Benfica, who offered the winger on loan until the end of the season.

150 million for a Serie A star?

Let’s devote a few words to the “Wolves” team from Molineux. First, Julen Lopetegui got a new attacker, Wolves’ Pablo Sarabia. Secondly, Wolves could leave former Barcelona player Adam Traore. Italian journalist Alfredo Pedulla reports Napoli’s interest in Adama. The Neapolitans would like to sign him in the summer on a free transfer.

However, their budget should not be limited. In a few months, they will probably make huge money selling Victor Osimhen. According to local newspaper Il Mattino, the Nigerian striker is on the wish list of English giants Manchester United, Arsenal and Newcastle. Napoli value him at around 140-150 million euros! We can therefore witness an absolutely hit transfer.

For now, however, Aurelio De Laurentiis and his staff are focusing on changes to the winter squad. Goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini will join the club to replace Salvatore Sirigu who is leaving for Fiorentina. Admittedly, this is quite a change in the goalkeeper’s profile after the failure to sign Keylor Navas in August. The experienced Costa Rican will not move to Napoli, but he will probably leave PSG anyway. The Athletic links him to Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth. According to L’Equipe, Navas does not want to go to Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, so the English option seems logical and feasible. Forest are also hunting for Dominik Livakovic.

The group of Premier League players can also be enlarged by Nicolo Zaniolo. Roma will agree to his departure in January if someone pays 40 million euros. West Ham and Tottenham, as well as Borussia Dortmund, are interested in the Italian, according to Gianluca Di Marzio. According to “Sky”, Spurs even made an offer to “Giallorossim”, but this was considered unattractive.

Shopping giants

The aforementioned Borussia apparently prepared a transfer offensive for the second half of the window. Julian Ryerson from Union Berlin has already joined BVB. The Dortmunders are also linked with Manchester United’s Anthony Elanga. Fabrizio Romano claims that the Swede gave the green light to move to Germany. Everything now depends on the decision of the “Red Devils”. The winger would be loaned from Old Trafford. Another player tipped to strengthen Borussia is Jakub Kiwior. “Foot Mercato” reported that an offer of EUR 22 million for the Polish representative came to Spezia from Dortmund. However, she was rejected.

The main rival of the team from the west of the country, i.e. Bayern, also went shopping. The Bundesliga champions have finally ended their search for a replacement for Manuel Neuer. Yann Sommer from Gladbach landed in Munich, who will be replaced by another Swiss, Jonas Omlin, between the posts.

Konrad Laimer should also join Bayern this summer. Romano claims the Leipzig midfielder has reached a full agreement with his new employer. Munich will sign him as a free agent.

For dessert, a list of transfers made in recent days, not mentioned above.

We end with interesting information from Rudy Galletti. Journalist “Sportitalia” reports that Liverpool are probing the summer signing of Piotr Zieliński. Jurgen Klopp has long been considered a fan of the talent of the Pole from Napoli. “Zielowi” in 2024, the contract with the current club expires. It would be an absolute transfer hit.
