The generic transfer thread

[Sanguine]

We don't really have a place for non-European football, so - Endrick Felipe is 15 years old and scored this goal for Palmeiras in Brazil's under-21 competition. Watched by scouts from all the big European clubs, considered the country's next big star. Expected to go on to make his full debut for Palmeiras this season.

It is a fantastic goal, but of itself a one in a million … it could have gone anywhere.
I’ve not seen anything else of him so can’t pass any sort of comment on whether he’s likely to be the next big thing

Strange one - Burton have signed Oumar Niasse - he seems to drop his standards of club each season, strange signing from Everton

If Guillem Balague is to be believed (never quite sure as he comes across as a bit of a d**k) Haaland is only considering options from Man City, Barcelona & Real Madrid and will make a final decision in the next 2 weeks. All 3 offers are financially very similar. Agent to get something like €25-30M.

Spain has always been his preference and Real Madrid has always been his dream move but he is unsure whether joining a forward line up of Mbappe & Benzema will be good for his career as he won't be the focus. Barcelona are a mess and not the force they were so can't offer him immediate chance of silverware and their future is less certain than the others. City can pretty much offer him all trophies and money he wants, and he will be the main man up front as they currently don't have a top class no.9. City currently in a very tempting position for him, but Haaland would rather play football in Spain so that is the decision he has to make.

Dortmund also trying to offer him a deal to stay for 1 more year saying that the strength of the 2 clubs in Spain which be much clearer then for him to decide over

[Orion1871]

City have shown with Ferran Torres that they are willing to let players go if they request to leave, so he may well join one of the two Spanish clubs after a few years if he wants.

[Loafer]

Seem to be mental to me for a football team to offer you a new contract with the sole reason of deciding which team to join when it runs out because they will be better

Barca coming in CLUTCH with getting kessie and anders christening on free transfers ,and possibly dave from Chelsea on one aswell.

[Sanguine]

Barca 'doing a Liverpool' out of necessity - and funnily enough beginning now to put together a decent looking side again.

It's not all about the star names. Kessie and Christensen are two excellent signings.

I can't stand Raiola. I love watching Haaland. Disappointed he is going to City (it appears). Can't see past him being brilliant in the PL.

[YorkshireRoyal99]

I could potentially see Bayern swooping for Haaland if Lewandowski was to move anywhere. It's been in the rumour mill for a couple of seasons that he might do, but it does seem pretty unlikely all things considered.

I just think that Real Madrid and City will be the front runners for him, PSG could always stick their noses in as well but I can't see that materialising. I think he would go to Madrid if Benzema moved elsewhere, which is probably more unlikely than Lewandowski moving from Bayern as well. City could potentially have to choice of Haaland or Kane again this summer.

[NathStPaul]

Haaland is not staying in Germany, not a chance. Premier League or La Liga only.

[Winston Biscuit]

The reports in recent months have all said that moving to Bayern is simply not an option he is willing to even consider

I reckon he should join Real Madrid. Benzema is 34 years old so won't be around for too much longer. A forward line of Mbappe, Haaland & Vinicius has the potential to be ridiculously good (though Mbappe & Vinicius both like to play off the left so one of them may have to adapt their game somewhat)

[YorkshireRoyal99]

I don't think he will stay in Germany, but I wouldn't be surprised if it opened up as an option if Lewandowski was to move somewhere, but again, that seems unlikely.

City on the surface seems to be his best move due to their lack of a CF and selling Torres in January to Barca as well. Madrid might be better long-term though as Benzema moves on due to age.

[NathStPaul]

It isn't an option. Both the player and his agent have said that, it was just explained to you.
