If Hazard wants to leave and go to a CL club there aren't many teams he could join:

Safe to say he won't be sold to the top EPL teams. In Spain Real Madrid won't sign him if they are getting Neymar; Barca already have Coutinho. And in France PSG are trying to sell players.

So there is Bayern, Atl. Madrid and us who could tempt Hazard with CL football. Atl. Madrid, like us, might have to sell before they can afford him.

All of the above is speculation of course and I'd say at 90% he'll just stay at chelsea. But I also think we're an eligible destination for Hazard if he indeed decides to leave depending on how deep Suning can and want to dig into their pockets.

If we been negotiating this whole time for a winger like Malcom, then hazard is not a target at all.
Unless we can swap him with peresic plus cash. I would do that in a heart bit. Hazard or William.

I wish we were linked with rabbit. All we'll have to do is sell vecino, Joao Mario and Valero and we could definitely afford him.

Madrid have officially denied that they are in for Neymar (or negotiating with PSG for Neymar and Mbappe). Think Madrid is very possible destination if he leaves.

Maybe Gundogan, Bernardo Silva plays as winger for them or sometimes as attacking mid.

Bruh chelsea wants 30 millions for zappacosta and 90 millions for willan,
They for sure want at least 200 millions for hazard or kante
No wonder they bought useless pos like drinkwater and morata for so much money,
They live in different currency

Abramovich will allegedly stop pumping money - though Chelsea like most EPL teams have significant revenue streams already - so them selling a player at a foreign league instead of risking him joining on a rival on a free is something they'd discuss. Kante does not want to leave. Willian is not going to be sold for 90m because no club would spend that much on him. Somewhere around 50-60 would suffice.

There is rumours about Barca spending 120 on Willian. Actually the supposed offer is Rafinha + Aleix Vidal + 60 mil.

Think it's just a rumor. No one is stupid to pay 60 million for Willian, especially when he will be 30 in a month.

City are so idiots that they may give up B Silva on a free loan. That would be a good plan B for Malcom.
About Gundogan, no way, injury prone, plays 10% of the season.

I have a plan. If we sell J. Mario and Vecino (even tho I like him as a squad player), maybe getting Florenzi, Dembele AND Duncan makes this mercato be the best in a long time.

We don't actually have to sell anyone to get Malcom and Dembele. Unless Dembele costs 25m which makes it unworthy.

Dembele is from a top EPL side, so he is really good and worth the 25mil

B. Silva is a winger, Jorginho is a CM.

But B. Silva might be available because City are also trying to buy Mahrez. This is not a bad idea, B. Silva is one portuguese player I actually like despite quite a poor season and World Cup by his standards.

So players from top EPL sides are really good and worth 25m?

So Fellaini, Lingard, Lallana, Trent-Alexander-Arnold-Whatever, Holding, Monreal, Welbeck, Iwobi, Joe Gomez, Milner, Young, Sturridge, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Drinkwater, Moses, Rudiger, Pedro, Darmian, Rojo, Smalling, Valencia and Blind are also really good and worth the 25m or more that their teams would be asking for?
Be reasonable please.

Dembele is not worth more than the 12m in transfer fee that we already offered. At most we should cede to a 15m demand.

I mean, yes, Victor Moses, Lingard, Alexander-Arnold, and Rudiger are all worth more than 25.

More than 25 what? Pesos? Maybe Rubles with the World Cup going on?

So you would want Inter to spend 25m on any of those players you mentioned?

They make Candreva, Eder, D'Ambrosio and Ranocchia look world class. 25m on a scrub just to motivate your starters or bench warmers is not a great piece of business.

We're going to have to just disagree. Moses would walk into this starting eleven. None of the others would, obviously, but 25 million today is pennies for solid rotational players (which is what we paid for Vecino, who at best is a mediocre rotational player).

I'm not saying we should make these purchases, but you're delusional if you think these players would be sold anywhere for less than 25.

Yet if Inter made hose signings, you'd probably be pissed, whilst "preaching" that 25m is an okay price for them. Not sure what's delusional about saying that I'd go apeshit at the potential of signing players who are worse than our bench warmers for twenty five fucking million.
And Vecino was signed to be a starter because Brozovic couldn't be trusted. And he was a starter for most of the season, until his injury and when Brozovic decided he's a professional football player of worth.
