wow, man city really going all out for Echeverri? thats huge, but loaning him back? makes sense but still… can’t wait to see him play in the prem!
Inter lookin at Taremi, Martial and Broja? That’s an interesting mix, would love to see how that pans out, Serie A needs more fire power.
Varane leaving? say it ain’t so… He’s been solid for us, a move back to Lens would be a shocker.
Vitor Roque to Barca, can he live up to the hype? La Liga’s gettin exciting with all these young talents.
25m for Vermeeren, that’s steep but if he’s as good as they say, could be worth it! trust in the process, come on you Spurs!
