Rodrygo to City: Transfer market rumors shake up Europe

Latest Transfer Market News: Rumors and Key Movements

The European transfer market is in full swing, and clubs are already closing major deals. At Alofoke Deportes, we bring you the latest information and the most in-depth analysis of the most outstanding movements. What does the future hold for Rodrygo and Savinho? Sources close to Manchester City indicate that there is a possibility that Savinho will leave the club. If the winger moves to Tottenham Hotspur, City could look for a replacement. For this to happen, Savinho would have to request his departure and Tottenham submit an acceptable offer. In that scenario, Rodrygo from Real Madrid would be in City’s sights. Although Real Madrid’s valuation, close to 80 million euros, could make the operation difficult, City does not rule out the possibility. Tottenham, after losing Morgan Gibbs-White and Eberechi Eze, seeks to reinforce its squad in the last days of the market. Fans are hoping for a high-profile signing, and Savinho, with his potential, could satisfy that demand. The club plans to be more aggressive with its salary budget, but convincing Rodrygo seems complicated. Eberechi Eze is preparing to join Arsenal, but who could leave before the market closes? There is a small possibility that Leandro Trossard will leave Arsenal, despite having agreed to an improved contract. Oleksandr Zinchenko is available, and Real Betis has shown interest in the left-back. As for Jakub Kiwior, there are mixed opinions about his possible departure. Reiss Nelson seems more likely to leave, perhaps on loan. Fabio Vieira, Albert Sambi Lokonga, and backup goalkeeper Karl Hein could also leave the club.

Analysis: What prevents the signings of Garnacho and Simons for Chelsea? Chelsea is still in the process of signing Xavi Simons and Alejandro Garnacho, but first it must comply with UEFA financial regulations. The club needs to generate profits in its “List A transfer balance”, which relates to the squad cost for players selected in last season’s Conference League. João Félix’s departure to Al Nassr does not count, but Noni Madueke’s to Arsenal does. Failure to comply with this rule would prevent the registration of new signings for this season’s Champions League. Is there any possibility of Garnacho staying at Manchester United? It is unlikely. United knows that Ruben Amorim’s stance on Garnacho could open the door to low offers at the end of the market. Garnacho wants to join Chelsea, so the decision is in the hands of the London club. United values the player at around 50 million pounds, but Chelsea has no incentive to pay that amount. The situation will depend on whether United accepts a lower offer or risks having an unhappy player for at least six months.

Analysis: Is there room for Alejandro Garnacho at Chelsea? What’s up with Rasmus Højlund? AC Milan have cooled their interest in Højlund, as the United striker prefers a permanent transfer instead of a loan that would leave his future up in the air. Milan preferred a loan, but have now turned their attention to Victor Boniface of Bayer Leverkusen. A deal for Højlund is still possible if Milan fail to sign Boniface and the United player does not find another destination. Napoli could be the best option for Højlund, even on loan, due to Romelu Lukaku’s injury. Could Raphinha leave Barcelona? Although not the most likely scenario, it is not entirely ruled out. Barcelona is aware that Raphinha’s departure could help them comply with LaLiga’s financial fair play rules. However, after the departure of Iñigo Martínez, Barça could consider signing a central defender if the opportunity arises. The club would be open to offers for Ronald Araújo, Andreas Christensen, Marc Casadó, and Fermín López, although all four want to stay. Will there be more departures from Bayer Leverkusen? Piero Hincapié, central defender for Leverkusen, is in the sights of several Premier League clubs, and his departure before the close of the market is not ruled out. The player has also been linked to Real Madrid. Leverkusen wants to keep Hincapié, but an offer of between 40 and 60 million euros would be difficult to refuse.
