De Ligt to Bayern almost done

Former Ajax star defender Mathjis De Ligt is on the verge of leaving Juventus to join Bayern Munich after the two clubs agreed fee for the sensational defender.

Chelsea and Barcelona had enquired about the player but he only ever wanted to switch to Bayern Munich and reports suggest he was on his way to Germany before his then agent, Mino Raiola convinced him otherwise.

Paulo Dybala joins AS Roma

The shake up at Juventus continues with the exit of Paulo Dybala as the Argentine has now completed a move to AS Roma on a free transfer after the expiration of his Juventus contract.

The Serie A is not new to players dancing around and Jose Mourinho has successfully convinced the former Palermo man to join his project at Roma. Dybala signed a deal for three years with the capital side with an option of another year.

Broja on his way to Westham?

Since PSG shut the door on Gianlucca Scamacca, Westham United already threw their hats in his ring but news coming out of the London Stadium today is that the Hammers are discussing with Chelsea for a potential move for Armando Broja.

The Albanian spent last season on loan at Southampton and caught lots of attention with his crisp finishes. The Saints aren’t going back for him and he isn’t going to be in the first team plan of Thomas Tuchel, Westham want him permanently but the Blues could do loan with option to buy.

Where will Kounde end up?

At the start of the window, it was believed that Joules Kounde was on his way to Chelsea but the shake up at Chelsea, which led to the ouster of key figures at the club seemed to have cooled that conversation around possible transfer but it could be back on now.

Barcelona will always be Kounde’s preferred destination but the Catalan giants must sell a few players to be able to afford him. Chelsea on the other hand need Kounde since they didn’t find joy with their pursuits of Nathan Ake.
