Top Transfer Rumours Of The Day: Deulofeu, Dembele, Mbappe, And More
1. Gerard Deulofeu To Roma
What’s the story?
Marca recently published a report stating a transfer rumour which can be of good reading for A.S. Roma fans, as their club is reportedly chasing Gerard Deulofeu over the transfer window. The Everton winger spent a part of last season playing for AC Milan, and Roma want to bring him back to the Serie A as soon as possible.
Should the deal take place?
This comes after the Italian club sold their prized possession and attacking player Mohamed Salah to Liverpool for £35 million, and are out there looking for someone to fill the gap. The young boy from Barcelona matches the abilities needed to replace the Egyptian, and the Giallorossi could find all the answers they need in him.
Possibility of it happening
With Salah gone and Totti saying goodbye, Roma are desperate for new names to come in fast, and hence, a deal for Deulofeu could soon take place, with the possibility being 7/10.
2. Ousmane Dembele To Barcelona
What’s the story?
According to Eurosport France (via Daily Express), Barcelona have entered the race to sign Ousmane Dembele.
The player is reportedly eager to set foot out of the Bundesliga, following the departure of Thomas Tuchel as Dortmund’s manager, and with his abilities and talent, the big clubs are on their toes.
Should the deal take place?
In his first season at the Westfalenstadion, the pacey forward enjoyed rapid success and managed to score an impressive 10 goals while assisting a further 21 for his teammates. His performances have turned him into one of Europe’s finest young talents at the moment, and given his age being as low as 20, his career has just begun.
Staying at Dortmund and helping them grow into a force might be the noble thing to do, but heading to a bigger club with higher ambitions might just take his career to sky high levels.
Possibility of it happening
When asked about the player, BVB director Michael Zorc said: “Ousmane is going to be playing for Dortmund in the coming season.”
The negotiations hang in the balance, thus leaving a possibility of 5/10 in favour of any deal taking place.
3. Suso To Tottenham Hotspur
What’s the story?
According to reports in Marca (via Sky Sports), Mauricio Pochettino is currently eyeing AC Milan winger and former Liverpool star, Suso. The player had an exceptional 2016/17 campaign, and is being closely watched by Tottenham for a possible move to the Premier League.
Should the deal take place?
The 23-year-old is also a reported target for other big names, especially that of Italian side Napoli.
On one hand, Milan seem to be on the rise yet again and aim to compete for much awaited glory next season onwards, and on the other end, Spurs look to take their young and organised squad towards Premier League success, and hence, the player finds himself in a slight dilemma. However, England has a League that is currently doing better than the Serie A, and if personal growth is the aim, London might be a good destination.
Possibility of it happening
The possibility of this happening is currently 6/10.
4. Kylian Mbappe to Liverpool
What’s the story?
According to The Mirror, Liverpool are readying themselves to break all barriers possible in order to secure the services of Kylian Mbappe. The Reds are assumed to be preparing a jaw dropping £100 million worth deal, which could see the 18-year-old become the most expensive footballer in the world. The intentions clearly show how important the striker is for the side from Merseyside, and hence, going all out is a choice they prefer taking.
Should the deal take place?
Liverpool have already begun their raid into the transfer market, after signing Mohamed Salah for £35 million and making their attacking intentions clear.
Given that pace and panache is what Klopp loves fielding out on the pitch, Mbappe will be a perfect fit for the German’s team. However, other attractions from Real Madrid and Arsenal might cause the player to think twice before making a decision.
Possibility of it happening
With an earlier bid rejected, the Kop will have to stretch their hands as far as possible, and the possibility of the player coming is currently 5/10.
