English Premier League Transfer Rumors
One of the bumper transfer rumor of Thursday includes Blaise Matuidi as the French midfield has become a surprise target of several Premier League clubs. While Arsenal and Chelsea have been in his pursuit since long, Manchester United has been the newest admission in the admirers of Frenchman. Having the reputation of a strong and fierce tackler in France, the 27 year old is tailor-made for the Premier League. However, like most of the transfers that occur, price tag could become a source of concern for any team which want to include Matuidi in their first team 11.
For-seeing the war for the signature of Matuidi in the summer, PSG have slapped a 35million pounds price tag on their main man. While they are no short of players in the midfield and want to comply with the financial fair play regulations, a good offer can lure PSG to sell their prized asset.
Iikay Gundogan wants Manchester United move
In other transfer news, Iikay Gundogan is gunning for a move to the Old Trafford in the coming summer. After refusing to sign a new contract with Borussia Dortmund a week ago, Gundogan is reportedly looking for new pastures and Manchester United can be the club to offer him escape.
While he will have 1 year left on his contract in the summer, Borussia Dortmund are looking to cash on him as they seems to have learnt the lessons from Robert Lewandowski’s transfer saga. One positive aspect for going towards the German is his price tag because with only 1 year of contract under his belt, a reasonable bid can force Dortmund to part their ways with the Gundogan.
Glen Johnson to Roma:
In contrast to the summer of 2014 where Liverpool bought a truck-load of players, the coming summer is expected to see many players leaving the Merseyside outfit. While Steven Gerrard has already announced his plans, Glen Johnson might become the next one to depart.
However, unlike his captain who has chosen to try his luck in MLS, Glen Johnson is eyeing a move to the Serie A. And with Roma interested to offer him an escape, he might join them in the summer transfer window for free. He is expected to agree to a pre-contract offer with Roma in the coming days.
Liverpool plotting a move for Karim Benzema in the summer
While there will be many outgoing’s for Liverpool in the summer, their fans would be pleased to know that the Reds are reportedly eyeing a move for the Real Madrid striker Benzema. While they were linked with the Frenchman profusely last summer, it seems now the time has come for them to make a concrete offer.
Barring Daniel Sturridge, the future of all the other 3 Liverpool strikers is un-clear at the club and that might become the reason for Liverpool to go and splash the cash on Karim Benzema in the summer.
