Hello and welcome to the Premier League transfer roundup for the day! It is that time of the day/night when you – the readers – are fed with the daily dose of transfer window rumours with regards to the Premier League.
And so without further ado, let’s begin!
#5 Ramon Calderon on Hazard
The subject of Eden Hazard joining Real Madrid just doesn’t seem to catch a break. After all, the player himself fueled the rumours with his words about dreaming to play for the Galacticos ever since his childhood.
Meanwhile, Ramon Calderon, the former president of Real Madrid, has stated that Chelsea’s stance on a player who clearly has his heart at Madrid is pointless and that what matters now is the Blues’ stand on a financial standpoint.
“There is no point having a player with you if he doesn’t want (to be there)," he said.
“Slavery was abolished a long time ago. Now the point is what Chelsea has decided to do, that will be I suppose a matter of money.”
Calderon then went on to mention Hazard’s openness in wanting to join the Merengues could make it difficult for the Londoners to keep him.
“If the player insists on doing what he’s publicly saying, it will be difficult for Chelsea to keep him and for Real Madrid it would be fantastic news I have to say.”
Finally, he praised the Belgian for the form that he is in right now and put him on the same pedestal as that of the two greats of football currently: Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
“Now, I see he’s the player of Cristiano and Messi’s time.
“They are still playing but let’s say that he’s the player who’s going to receive from them the inheritance of being the best player in the world.”
#4 London
Tottenham Hotspur failed to land a single new player in the summer transfer window despite the fact that they were linked to quite a few stars at the time. One of them was Tanguy Ndombele of Lyon.
There is a chance that they might still go for him in the winter and if Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas is to be believed, then there is actually a chance that Ndombele could leave the club
"Financially, we have the best results in France", he was quoted as saying.
"That guarantees certain things, but it does not guarantee that we will be able to keep Ndombele, Aouar and other players."
Meanwhile, according to Calcio Mercato, West Ham United have targeted former Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko for the January window and are willing to not only invest €25 million for him but also give him a role in the backroom staff after he retires.
#3 Liverpool
The Reds are perhaps the most active club in the transfer rumour right alongside Manchester United. The Merseyside outfit have been linked to a plethora of players so far this season and it seems like there is no stopping it.
According to Turkish Football, Liverpool are interested in signing Hoffenheim midfielder Kerem Demirbay. Jurgen Klopp has apparently been interested in the player since last summer but backed out after he got a long-term injury and also signed a new deal with his current employers.
However, the Anfield outfit are still considering a move for him by paying his release clause of £28 million.
Meanwhile, according to Glenn Price, Liverpool have no intention of calling back Harry Wilson from his loan at Derby County.
“Liverpool cannot recall Harry Wilson from his loan spell at Derby. Even if there was a call-back clause, #LFC would be extremely reluctant to do so anyway,” he tweeted.
#2 Proud Barella
Liverpool and Manchester United linked Nicolo Barella has revealed his pride at being linked to the two giants of European football after his fine performances with Cagliari so far this season.
When asked about a potential future move, he played down the stories by stating that it is not up to him and that he is only focused on staying up in Serie A with Cagliari right now, before finally adding that being linked to some of the top clubs in Europe is a sign of his improvement as a player.
“I’m not the one who sorts out the transfers. It’s the agents, presidents and clubs who do that. I only think about Cagliari and to stay up in the league. We’ll see about the rest. The interest from big clubs is pleasing and makes me proud. It means I’m doing the right things,” Barella was quoted as saying.
#1 Rumours of the day
We will start off with the biggest club in England: Manchester United. While their summer transfer window was dreadful, they are looking to make amends by signing some world class players in the future.
With the contract extension of De Gea becoming more of a headache with constant delays, it is likely that the Red Devils are looking for another goalkeeper. According to Don Balon, Messi has been tipped off that the Red Devils have made a €100 million offer for Barcelona shotstopper Mar-Andre ter Stegen and will also give him a huge pay-rise to the one that he earns at Barca right now.
If that is not enough of a dashing story, here is another one from the same outlet: Real Madrid are eying a move for a Tottenham star. If you guessed Harry Kane, then you are wrong.
If you guessed Christian Eriksen, then you are wrong again. According to the report the Galacticos are willing to make a €120 million offer to bring Dele Alli to the Bernabeu.
