Hello everyone and welcome to Sportskeeda's Daily Transfer Roundup. The rumour mill has certainly seen busier days this summer. That was expected with the Premier League transfer window coming to a close.
However, there is no shortage of excitement elsewhere in Europe. Without further ado, let's take a look at the top transfer news, rumours and updates that made headlines on 10 August 2019.
Bayern Munich agree loan deal for Ivan Perisic
Bayern Munich have reportedly reached an agreement with Inter Milan over a loan deal for winger Ivan Perisic. As per the report, the loan fee is €5 million and the deal comes with an option to buy for €20 million at the end of the loan spell.
The report adds that Perisic has agreed to join Bayern Munich as well and he is set to touch down in Germany soon. The Croat was left out of Inter Milan's squad that travelled to Spain to take on Valencia in a pre-season friendly.
As per the deal, Bayern Munich will pay Perisic's wages for the season. Though age is not on his side, Perisic has proven that he is a dependable campaigner, the sort that Bayern are in desperate need of following the retirement of Arjen Robben and departure of Franck Ribery.
As a result, the Bavarians had been actively scouring the market for quality options on the wings. They had zeroed in on Leroy Sane, however, Manchester City were not keen on selling the German international and this forced Bayern to look at alternatives.
Bayern Munich will feel like they dodged a bullet as Sane tore his anterior cruciate ligament in the FA Community Shield tie against Liverpool last week. He will be sidelined for 6-7 months.
Perisic, who has scored 40 goals and provided 37 assists in his Inter career spanning 163 games, is reportedly not part of new manager Antonio Conte's plans for the upcoming season. Niko Kovac has managed Perisic for Croatia before and that would have certainly had an impact on the deal materializing.
Perisic has also played in the Bundesliga with Wolfsburg and Borussia Dortmund. As such, he is a pretty good asset to have and a relatively cheaper one at that.
Unai Emery confirms he talked to Mustafi about leaving
After impressing initially, Shkodran Mustafi has struggled and is hardly a 'fan-favourite' at the Emirates these days. With Arsenal's defensive problems becoming the major source of concern for Unai Emery, the fans expected Mustafi to be shown the door during the summer.
Arsenal have signed David Luiz from Chelsea as a stopgap but Mustafi continues to be at the club. Laurent Koscielny left Arsenal for Bordeaux and thus, there is every chance that the fans will see Mustafi play quite a lot this season.
Emery admitted that he is open to letting the German leave and that he has already talked about it with the player. He said,
"I spoke with him when we finished last season. I spoke with him when we started pre-season and I spoke with him also two weeks ago saying maybe there was the possibility he can leave.
"But I don't have doubts if he needs to play because he is a good player."
Roy Hodgson urges fans to be sympathetic towards Wilfried Zaha
Roy Hodgson has issued a request to the Eagles' fans. He wants them to be sympathetic towards Wilfried Zaha who failed to secure a move away from the club despite being linked with Arsenal and Everton throughout the summer.
Hodgson said,
"You can't control fans' reactions. Fans will react in the way they feel they should react. Of course, I hope that they won't get on Wilf's back. I hope they'll be sympathetic to him and will help him produce more good performances for the team.
"But whatever happens, Wilf will have to deal with that, just as he has had to deal with his disappointment over the last few days in the transfer window.
"I'm expecting him to be able to do those things. But it would be nice if our fans can draw a line under it and give him the support he needs to produce the performances that I as a manager and we as a team really need from him."
Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid both want Neymar transfer to happen
It has become quite a mess. With Barcelona yet to make a move and Neymar's heart set on a departure, there is really no telling which way this one is going to go. Real Madrid's entry into the scene has made matters even more complicated for the Catalans as according to the latest reports, PSG are keen on selling Neymar to Real Madrid.
The easy way out for Neymar is to agree to a move to Madrid. However, things are not that simple thanks to the relationship that the Brazilian had with Barcelona in the past. It will not be well received by the Barcelona fans who will see this as a repeat of the Luis Figo fiasco when the Camp Nou did not take kindly to the Portuguese joining Real Madrid from Barcelona.
However, Real Madrid share a good relationship with Paris Saint-Germain and as such, do not want to do anything that will upset them. At the same time, Barcelona and PSG share a strained relationship.
The report claims that the Real Madrid camp is waiting for the nod from PSG to go ahead and wrap up the deal as they remain confident of Neymar choosing to join the club.
Roma in talks with Manchester United over a loan deal for Alexis Sanchez
Manchester United's attack could be depleted further as AS Roma have entered negotiations with the Red Devils to secure a loan deal for Chilean international Alexis Sanchez. Sanchez has largely flopped at Old Trafford since joining in the winter transfer window of the 2017/18 season.
Manchester United are already being forced to rely on the likes of Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford and a young Mason Greenwood for goals following the departure of Romelu Lukaku. Despite that, Sanchez is not promised a spot in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team.
Though Solskjaer earlier said that he expects Sanchez to stay at the club, the latest reports indicate that Manchester United have given AS Roma the opportunity to sign him on loan. As it stands, it is not sure whether Sanchez is keen on making the move.
If at all a move happens, Manchester United will be expected to keep paying a major chunk of Sanchez's £391,000-a-week wages which rises to £500,000 with bonuses as Roma do not have that much in the tank.
