2021/2022 Forwards Rumours Thread

Am I the only one who thinks the rumblings of dramatic price increases after international tournaments is significantly overblown?

This isn't 1990 anymore. No club is dumb enough to buy a player solely because of two good weeks of football.

In 2016 we bought Joao Mario for 45m because of two (fake) good weeks of football. Or even less.

But you were also the one who thought Mancini would bench his best midfielder in the last 2 years for the last minute call up Pessina too no?

Yes, because "decent chance" obviously means "with utmost certainty."

Also, sorry to burst your bubble, but Jorginho is his best midfielder of the past two years.

Even suggesting it was absurd enough to me.

According to Brazilian journalist Venê Casagrande, Inter are interested in Flamengo wonderkid Rodrigo Muniz (20). The club has contacted its representatives and plans on sending a bid to the Rio club in the coming days.

Translation: Inter Milan consults Rodrigo Muniz's situation and plans to make an offer for Flamengo's striker; Al Nasr, who has a financial agreement with the player, does not give up and is willing to pay €5 million + €2 million for add-ons, but Fla wants €8 million.

Any idea if the kid is any good?

He's pretty decent and has potential.

 

[TheNetworkZ]

The fact that it's between us and AL Nasr says more than what I want to know

Looks slow, but with a good finishing skills

Yeah, whatever...I dont even know if we can expect more than keita when it comes to basically fourth option forward.

Barbosa 2.0 ?

Speaking of Brazilians, we`ve been linked again to Kaio Jorge, this time by SI and GdS. His club has initially slapped a 30m asking price and nobody bit the bait.

Did anyone see him play? Stats are not impressive at all, but he`s just 19.

It seems that both Inter and Milan are monitoring the situation, with Napoli also interested, as his contract is expiring on Dec 31, 2021 - we all know Marotta`s favourite dish is free transfer.

If his contract expiring at the end of this year, it means we or other clubs can already arrange an agreement with him for new club.

If there is no other club had made an agreement with him, I would think that he is not that good.

Right, but they know it`s summer mercato in Europe, so are probably waiting to see if they can get some money for Santos first + the player can benefit of pre-season training.

Here you go: according to Calciomercato.com, the Rossoneri have made a formal offer of €6m, including performance-related bonuses and add-ons.
Santos are asking for at least €10m, but are in a tricky position, seeing as the 19-year-old’s contract with them is due to expire in December 2021. It is because of that situation that Milan hope they can whittle down the cost of the operation, raising the threat his club could lose him as a free agent.There is another potential pitfall, as it’s reported the player’s entourage are pushing for up to €5m in commission to broker the deal.

Director Paolo Maldini is determined to bring Kaio Jorge to San Siro, where Brazilians in the past have flourished, such as Ricky Kaka and Alexandre Pato. Napoli have long been interested in Kaio Jorge, but never stepped up with a formal offer, while Juventus have recently joined the race.

There’s no chance some lunatic named Kaio Jorge will end up a top player. I bet he’ll be another Ganso or Kenedy

 

[sdvroot]

I would look at a couple Gianluca Scamacca 195sm and Martín Satriano 187sm as a reserve deuce, Sanchez and Balde are not interesting.

 

[PHM1605]

Scamacca? Have you watched him play full match? I swear if he is here you guys will cry for Dzeko or Giroud and I am not even joking.

To be worse, Sassuolo is asking 30m for that turd. Who can't control a basic ball and makes stupid decision all the time. He is strong, but that's it.

Agree on Satriano though. His touches with his size are something special and worth a chance.
