Summer Transfer Window 2020

La Liga are backing Barca saying the buyout clause should stand, and they won't allow Messi to sign for another club. 

But of course they'd want to do all they could to keep him in the league.

I'm going to wake up shortly and realise that Ken Bates is selling our best player to Norwich for 50p and a 20% off Farmfoods voucher.

Just "a matter of time" before Havertz to Chelsea is confirmed now.

That's in euros too, which would rank as an amazing deal.

FM favourite Sandro Tonali is off to AC Milan.

Wolves have reportedly called off their pursuit for Ainsley Maitland-Niles. Hopefully this is true as I don’t think we should be looking to sell him anyway, even moreso after his Community Shield performance.

More Arsenal related news, Rob Holding is in talks to join Newcastle on loan. He should do well up there.

Fulham have got Lemina on loan from Southampton.

A seventh centre half, just what we need! Can he play up top?

And have bought Harrison Reed. That's a good one for us.

Chelsea will field a 1-1-8 and Newcastle will field an 8-1-1. Bold tactics in the Premier League this year.

3rd kit confirmed.

Bruce is bringing American Football tactics to Everywhere Else Football. Six centre backs will be the linebackers, Shelvey will be the quarterback, ASM and Almiron are the wide receivers and Joelinton is the goalpost.

Chelsea have agreed a deal with Bayer Leverkusen to sign Kai Havertz for an initial club record fee of £72m that will take their summer spending on transfers past the £200m mark.

Negotiations over the Germany international have been continuing for several weeks after Havertz had made it clear he wanted to leave Leverkusen following their failure to qualify for the Champions League. An initial bid of €65m (£58.6m) plus €15m in add-ons was rejected in July but it is understood that Chelsea have now agreed a deal that will surpass the club record £71.6m paid for goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga in 2018 if addons are included.

Leverkusen will receive €80m up front plus another €10m, with a further €10m potentially payable if a number of complicated clauses are met – including if Chelsea win the Champions League over the next five years – while Havertz has already agreed personal terms on a five-year contract.

Manager Peter Bosz also confirmed on Monday that Havertz will no longer train with the squad due to his impending move.

“Unfortunately, our squad has not yet been determined,” he said.

“I don’t expect Kevin Volland and Kai Havertz to train with us again. It is possible that other players will also change. We definitely need to bring in players.”

Volland is expected to join Monaco, with Havertz becoming manager Frank Lampard’s sixth summer signing following the arrivals of Hakim Ziyech for £37m, Timo Werner for £47.5m, Ben Chilwell for £50m and defenders Thiago Silva and Malang Sarr on free transfers.

The 21-year-old met up with the Germany squad in Stuttgart on Monday ahead of Nations League fixtures against Spain on Thursday and Switzerland on Sunday. Havertz has made 118 Bundesliga appearances since making his debut in October 2016. Leverkusen have already targeted Roma’s Patrick Schick having offered €28m for the Czech Republic forward.

Meanwhile, Crystal Palace are set to sign Conor Gallagher on a season-long loan. The England Under-21 international came on as a substitute in Chelsea’s friendly against Brighton on Saturday but completed a medical at Palace on Sunday and will provide competition in Roy Hodgson’s midfield having spent last season on loan at Charlton.

Ole is reportedly interested in getting a deal for Dayot Upamecano done as soon as the VdB transfer is complete.

Personally, I don't think that one will happen as he's only just signed a new deal, but if it did, those two would be a good window. Sancho on top would be a great window.

Rakitic is going back to Sevilla.

Ceballos to Arsenal on loan for another season and James Rodriguez to Everton permanently look likely this week.

One that we were after earlier in the summer.
