The summer transfer window 2019 thread

Cillessen, heading to the Premier

United has probed him, West Ham wants him and Everton appears as an important new option
Barça now has clear that the goalkeeper will leave the club during this market

Jasper Cillessen will leave Barça ahead of schedule. It was already known that the goalkeeper wanted an exit, but it seemed that everything was stagnant. In these moments, the events are precipitating and most likely the Dutch international is one of the first to leave the team.

His destiny clearly points to the Premier League , although Valencia is very interested in signing him. Barca will not wait and Cillessen does not want to risk either, so he will most likely play in England during the next academic year. United has tested him, West Ham loves him and Everton has appeared as a more than reliable option in the last hours. Now there will come an offer that can satisfy all parties. And in very little.

NEGOTIATION IN PROGRESS
Barça opened the doors to Cillessen before the end of the season. The goalkeeper asked to leave to have minutes and the club promised to facilitate their departure by rewarding their professionalism during these years. That yes, the Barca demanded an offer superior to 20 million euros to formalize the transfer. And, until now, the conditions to sell him had not been given.

Benfica was the first to knock on the doors of Barça, but his offer was unsatisfactory. Cillessen did reach a principle of agreement with the Portuguese, but there was no agreement between clubs. The Benfica was only willing to pay up to 12 million euros and negotiations finally broken. The Valencia also contacted the club to ask for money . And they have been negotiating in the last days. Cillessen liked this option very much, but the club must sell first to Neto, so the times were going to lengthen more than expected. The interest persists and Valencia does not give up, but already knows that the goalkeeper is negotiating with two English clubs.

And those options that Cillessen has on the table are West Ham and Everton . The former are investing a lot of money for their new sports project and the goal of Barça fits them. They have already let you know. The second option has appeared a few days ago and it is Everton. The Liverpool club may be left without their goalkeeper and they want to tie Cillessen as soon as possible. The relations between the two clubs are very good after the operations signed last summer and the communication channel is open. At Barça they understand that if everything goes as planned, next week there could be important news regarding the future of the Dutch goalkeeper.

André Gomes, one step away from signing for Everton

Their representatives traveled to Barcelona and approached positions for their sale
Barça calls 30 million for its transfer and the operation may close shortly

Barça is finalizing the transfer of André Gomes to Everton . The definitive movement of the Portuguese to the whole of Godison Park accelerated as a result of a recent trip of its representatives to Barcelona. The footballer is clear that he wants to remain in the club where he has acted as a loan in the last campaign and his advisers moved the English proposal, which he points to as the definitive one

Barca calls 30 million for his transfer and Everton is trying to lower this price , but in any case the figure will not be much lower. Although there are other English clubs that have also contacted Barcelona and could open a bid, the determination of Gomes to play alone in Everton limited the options Blaugrana to put pressure on Liverpool.

Thus, the scenario is very defined and all points to the formalization of the transfer of the midfielder to Everton. It will be an operation that will mean the total disengagement of the player , who will sign a new contract with the 'toffees'.

Barça will be satisfied if they reach an amount close to 30 million . Two seasons ago he paid Valencia 35 'kilos', so a sale only for five million less than the initial cost would mean its amortization after two seasons. Or what is the same, the club will not record losses in the account of resalados to get rid of the player.

On a sporting level, Valverde no longer counted for anything after the player in his first season in Can Barça did not meet expectations. In addition, the sports management Barcelona has opted for Frankie de Jong to pay 80 million euros for his signing and will be the player who must take the handle of the game in the coming years.

Shows how key Pellegrini is to attracting players. I doubt the likes of Diop, Anderson and Fornals would come to West Ham without him being at the helm.

The same thought also crossed my mind yesterday. 100% agree.

Absolutely zero chance of us signing a 20m euro goalkeeper.

1. We don't have the budget
2. We already have a great first team goalkeeper
3. We've only just brought in a backup goalkeeper and a 3rd choice goalkeeper!

My thoughts as well.

[psychoscoredthelot]

thats exactly what i thought BH - unless this chap can also play up top :lol:

[dixie1978]

I am also calling BS on the keeper story........ unless Fab has indicated he wants to leave for some reason, which I seriously doubt.

[EastVillageHammer]

Fab is comfortably amongst the best keepers in the league. I'd suggest absolutely no chance we're in for him.

It really is very nice to be able to relax in the knowledge we have a decent manager and professional set up to sign players. Jack Sullivan hasn't even been mentioned this window.

[funky chicken]

Maybe Peller's tactic for next season to concede less goals is to have 4 goalkeepers in goal? :lol:

he has now

[iLoveLasagne]

The media just link all players to West Ham and Everton by default. I wouldn't be surprised if they link our own players back to us. Javier Hernandez interesting West Ham after disappointing stint with the Hammers.

[WHU Independent]

"WHU linked to a very very expensive player that we are never gonna sign shocker!"

Every season without fail.

"But we tried."

1pt each mention = Ambition/Project/'Big Club'

Why would we or Everton for that matter attempt to sign a goalkeeper for big money when we have established goalkeepers regardless of how little I rate Pickford.

That lad in it... top quality acting.

I'm glad Fornals is done, seems like an exciting player to watch. Next week we can all obsess over a different player!
