The European soccer transfer market is gaining traction, and this last month of summer transfers will surely see many more moves and so-called “panic buys” by clubs that have yet to set goals to strengthen their teams.
Some have already finished their homework before the season begins, while others are still on the go. This time, JefeBet brings you a batch of rumored moves that could happen soon, with some of them involving significant stakes.
Transfer Market Rumors in Europe on August 4, 2022
Leicester might be completely disbanded
The Premier League has become the biggest spending league season after season in recent years, with its various clubs looking to strengthen their rosters with the best players in the world and promising young players on the world stage.
Despite this, Leicester has had an atypical market being the only club in England not to have added a new player. In addition, the latest rumors indicate that the team could lose several important players by the end of the month.
James Maddison has attracted the interest of England’s nouveau riche, Newcastle United, who are known to have made an offer of approximately €55 million for the player, which was rejected by the “Foxes”.
Youri Tielemans is one of the players on the radar of another club, with Arsenal showing interest in signing the Belgian midfielder and maybe making a move for him in the coming days.
Wesley Fofana, the goal of Chelsea’s desire following the departures of Christensen, Rudiger, and the failed signing of Jules Koundé, is another player who could be on his way out. A few months ago, the “Blues” were looking to sign the Frenchman for a price between 40 and 50 million euros, but it is reported that Leicester would only evaluate an offer of between 70 and 80 million euros.
Leipzig could bring home an old acquaintance
After much speculation, Leipzig were able to keep their top player, Christopher Nkunku, and may bring in a new attacker to complement the Frenchman.
We’re talking about an old acquaintance, Timo Werner, after the German striker has failed to establish himself at Chelsea after several seasons, which has led the player to express his desire to leave the institution.
However, Chelsea asked for one player in return: Josko Gvardiol. This makes the negotiation a bit complicated, as Leipzig showed no interest in letting the 20-year-old Croatian defender leave.
Exit operation at Arsenal
Arsenal was one of the clubs that made the smartest moves in this transfer market, and after several additions, they are now looking for a way out for one of their important players.
The man in question is Lucas Torreira, as the Uruguayan has never been happy in London and has expressed his desire to leave the club for some time now. There were many clubs interested, but the one that seems to have been left with his services is Galatasaray of Turkey.
Both the Turkish club and Arsenal agreed on his £7.5 million transfer, but the Uruguayan has yet to travel for medical tests, and Galatasaray has expressed its concern, since they know that other teams are interested in Torreira, with several of them being from Italy.
It is known that Fiorentina, Juventus, and Roma were also interested in signing the Uruguayan, and the player has always shown a desire to play in Italy, so the deal could fall through and Torreira could wind up joining another team before the market shuts.
Brentford to welcome a new Dane soon
The Danes and Brentford are a never-ending affair, and a new player of this nationality is rumored to be on his way to the London club.
Brentford and Sampdoria reached a deal worth around €20 million for the services of Mikkel Damsgaard, a Danish player who surprised all and sundry at the last European Championship and who would arrive at the club to fill the gap left by Christian Eriksen,who left for Manchester United this season.
Roma could close a new signing
The “Lupa” has been one of the most intriguing teams this summer, with the UEFA Europa Conference League champions already signing Paulo Dybala and Giorginio Wijnaldum.
Andrea Belotti is currently a free agent, and after several Spanish clubs such as Atlético Madrid, Sevilla and Valencia showed interest, the striker has reportedly decided to stay in Italy and sign with the capital club.
A deal to pay the striker about €3 million each season is expected to be finalized soon.
