£34million Kieran Trippier pressing to agree Man Utd move - Report (thefaithfulmufc.com)

After an impressive showing in Euro 2020, Kieran Trippier has told Los Colchoneros that he wants to play at Old Trafford. Previously, Atleti bought the English fullback for 20M. Now, the lowest that Manchester United could get for him would be 34M. Even with a cool profit of 14 million euros, Atleti will still be in a hurry to replace Trippier with a proven, world-class right-bacl.

Enrique Cerezo Doesn’t Rule Out Griezmann Swap

Atletico Madrid president gives an update regarding Griezmann signing | Barca Universal

Although the Atleti president has admitted the swap deals is incredibly difficult, Cerezo has called quits on the Griezmann-Niguez swap just yet. There’s still hope for the swap deal, but it’s a meek, diminutive hope at that. Expect Griezmann to stay dressed in the Blaugranes, while Niguez heads to England.

Long linked with the out-of-form midfielder, Manchester United and Liverpool looked like they had an uphill battle in the signing for Saul. Now that the Griezmann-Niguez swap has lost traction, the English sides could strike with bids upwards of 34 million euros: if Atleti even want to negotiate. Atleti probably won’t start negotiating a Trippier signing until late August. The Red Devils’(and Liverpool’s) only hope is to activate Trippier’s release clause: a hefty 34M euros.

Atleti Rejoins Race For Lautaro Martinez: Nonexistent Contract Talks The Reason Cited

Atletico Madrid Have Rejoined The Race For Inter's Lautaro Martinez, Argentinian Media Report (sempreinter.com)

Amidst Il Biscione’s failed attempts to extend Lautaro Martinez’s contract, Atleti, after a brief quit, have leaped right into pole position in the race for El Toro. Although Arsenal are the only club that can realistically negotiate with Inter for Martinez’s services, you could expect Atleti to pounce on Lautaro Martinez’s expiring services in the near future. However, they could expect stiff competition from Barcelona and Real.

Manchester United Ahead Of Liverpool In Race For Saul

Forefront in the race for Atletico ace Saul Niguez are the Red Devils, with Liverpool also in the picture. We’ve had news that Saul’s representatives are jetting to England to negotiate with the two sides. We’ll just have to wait and see which side can woo over Niguez’s agents the most. If Saul gets sold at all, Atleti can clear valuable cap space and continue with their search for a number 9, a right-back, and a backup goalie.

Milan Lodged Initial Bid to Sign Real Madrid Playmaker - The Cult of Calcio

This season, Isco hasn’t been too much Real’s picture. Like Saul, Isco is out of form, and played 29 games for Los Blancos(his lowest since the 2010/11 season with Valencia. What Manchester United is right now for Saul, Milan can be exactly that for Isco:a place where more playing time(and money) can be found. Amid LaLiga’s current financial state, Real would be wise to give up Isco for around this price range.

Real Madrid Close To Replacing Varane With Pau Torres

Transfer News: Real Madrid close in on Pau Torres capture (thehardtackle.com)

After Varane’s leaked Madrid exit went viral, Real has went and found a suitable replacement. Spanish international Pau Torres could enter the center-back race, alongside David Luiz and Nikola Maksimovic. However, it’s more likely that Pau Torres will leave from Villareal to Real instead of Luiz/Maksimovic packing their bags for Madrid.

SPIN: Real made a good decision here. It would be silly to fill serious playing time gaps with free agents. Plus, Real got younger here. Hopefully Atleti can counter quickly with the signing of Norwich City right back Max Aarons.

Prem clubs to raid Real Madrid and Barcelona for more stars amid La Liga money woes - Daily Star

Raphael Varane and Bryan Gil will only be the first in a long line of LaLiga players to depart for the Premier League this year. Jules Kounde, Antoine Griezmann, Saul Niguez,Ilaix Moriba, and Kieran Trippier have all been linked with EPL clubs. Caused by the cutting of Spanish clubs’ wage bills in half, you can expect a lot more LaLiga stars to pack their bags to go up north to England.

SPIN: This has got to hurt for Barcelona, Real, Atleti, Sevilla, Villareal, Valencia, every Spanish club fan. You never want to see your star player(s) pack up his bag to a completely different league that you might not be able to watch anymore. Hopefully LaLiga can resolve their money issue and give the financial kingdom a new ruler: LaLiga.

Barcelona Will Not Make Another Ilaix Moriba Offer

After an outrageous offer from Ilaix Moriba that would make the sparsely-used youngster paid the same as Pedri, Barcelona have become increasingly frustrated and won’t make another offer to Moriba.

SPIN: It’s a good decision from Barcelona. Barca tried to negotiate Moriba to a reasonable price, but his wage demands were just too large. The best thing they can do is sell him somewhere. I don’t see any of the top clubs meeting his wage demands if he won’t make a big impact on their club, however. Looks like Moriba will run out the clock until winter, where a club could pick him up on a free.

Koeman To Keep Griezmann, Coutinho, Messi Deal In Doubt

Barcelona to keep Griezmann and Coutinho (caughtoffside.com)

Antoine Griezmann and Phillipe Coutinho have been at the epicenter of the wage controversies in Barcelona. It’s left Lionel Messi without a club, prodigies sent off without warning, and countless transfer rumours. However, Barcelona gaffer Ronald Koeman is prepared to keep the magician Coutinho and the goalscorer Griezmann. It will mean that Koeman will have to get imaginative to sign Lionel Messi.

SPIN: They’ll probably have to dump more players, give players a wage cut(which is hard to do), and just hope. If things go really bad, it could leave Lionel Messi without a club, or even worse, at PSG.

David Alaba To Earn Over 100M Euros While At Real

David Alaba will earn over £100m at Real Madrid according to contract leak - Football Espana (football-espana.net)

While Barcelona try, unsuccessfully, to reduce players’ wage bills, Real Madrid have gone all out an handed David Alaba a 376K-per-week salary. If this hadn’t been a free transfer, there is no way that article up above would exist.

SPIN: That’s crazy. Real clearly have money to spend, and they will spend where they feel it’s deserved. Alaba totally deserves it. Bravo!
