In today's football world, there are even fewer top centre-backs than top strikers. Players who can be called top centre-backs will hit sky-high prices in terms of transfer fees and annual salaries. It is understood that Chelsea are currently interested in Juventus defender De Ligt, who also wants to clean up the highly paid player and free up 17 million euros.
The Dutch defender is only 22 years old. He joined Italy two years ago for a transfer fee of €85.5 million, but his performances did not conquer the previous coaches and did not become an absolute main force. This season, he has played six of his final nine rounds of Serie A, five of which have started. While the Dutchman is happy with his current form, Juventus have recommended him to Chelsea and the Blues are in dire need of a top centre-back. They almost signed Sevilla centre-back Conde this summer and now De Ligt is their candidate.
It is understood that Chelsea have already negotiated with player agent Rayo. Rayo wants his clients to transfer to get more commissions. He has been in constant contact with Chelsea, Manchester City and Barca. But now the penalties for the player and Juventus have reached 148 million euros, which will be the biggest obstacle to his departure
After Newcastle was acquired by a Saudi consortium, news came that the club had ties to many of the stars. For now, the team's latest target is Arsenal striker Lacazette, who signs the French striker next January. While Lacazette is not a top star, his abilities are very well-rounded and outstanding. He has always been an underrated striker.
After Bruce was sacked, Newcastle's primary goal was to find a new coach before watching player transfers. However, many teams need strikers like Lacazette. According to the Daily Star, Lacazer will be a free agent next summer. If Arsenal can get a suitable offer in the winter transfer window, they will be happy to let the Frenchman go. Of course, Newcastle will also face competition from many Premier League teams, including giants such as Atletico Madrid and Juventus.
Real Madrid want a star striker, not a combination of Ronaldo, Benzema and Bale. They are working on transfers for Haaland and Mbappe next summer. At the same time, Salah was also on the front line reinforcement list. After the relatively calm transfer market this summer, Real Madrid's lineup may be renewed, with a "Galacticos" style lineup again.
With Mbappe's contract set to expire next summer and the €75 million termination clause between Haaland and Borussia Dortmund also come into effect, Real Madrid hopes to hand over the two contracts to the Bernabeu at a cost of only €75 million to achieve this. Real Madrid have rekindled their thirst for European football. They want to replicate the great achievements of the Galaxy and the triple-title title, so they have to win Mbappe and Haaland
Salaher of Wupu did not renew his contract with Liverpool. The Egyptian striker's contract expires in the summer of 2023. If Liverpool don't want to lose money and personnel, they could sell him at a low price next summer. Real Madrid has all the characteristics that appeal to him. Annual salary, honors and even top offensive teammates are all favorable conditions for him to join. Of course, the most important thing for Real Madrid is to strengthen their defense. At the moment, many centre-backs are the target of their reinforcements.
