BREAKING: Report states Arturo Vidal to Barcelona is a done deal
Media Can we finally put the rumors to bed now and move on with life? In the past couple of weeks, we’ve heard it all; Arturo Vidal to Inter Milan, Arturo Vidal to Barcleona, Arturo Vidal to Chelsea or Manchester United, or Arturo Vidal to stay with Bayern Munich. Now, the latest reports out of Europe suggest that a move to Barcelona is pretty much set in stone for the Chilean and that terms have already been agreed. Fabrizio Romano of Sky Sports and The Guardian has already taken to his Twitter account to report the news as well as Sky Italy’s Gianluca Di Marzio:Total agreement for Arturo #Vidal to Barcelona: done deal with Bayern Münich, here we go! ✅ #transfers #Barça— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) August 2, 2018Accordo raggiunto adesso, @kingarturo23 al @FCBarcelona: ora si passa alla definizione dei contratti @SkySport #calciomercato— Gianluca Di Marzio (@DiMarzio) August 2, 2018Sport (Spain) has also reported that Vidal looks set to travel to the Catalans within the next 48-72 hours to complete a medical, which would ultimately finalize the move. Per the report, the fee that’s [supposedly] been agreed upon by both clubs is roughly €30m, €7.5m cheaper than Bayern Munich paid to sign him from Juventus back in 2015. For a club with the financial flexibility like Barcelona, €30m could be considered a bargain for a player of Vidal’s caliber. The Chilean, however, isn’t getting any younger, and Bayern has a loaded midfield with the likes of Thiago Alcantara, Leon Goretzka, Corentin Tolisso, Javi Martinez, and Sebastian Rudy (if he doesn’t, in fact, move to RB Leipzig). The 31-year old would be leaving Bayern after three seasons, collecting three Bundesliga title and a DFB-Pokal with Die Roten, scoring 22 goals and providing 18 assists from 124 appearances across all competitions along the way.

Report: Marc-André ter Stegen to start for Germany vs Estonia or Argentina
SC Freiburg - FC Augsburg Photo by Patrick Seeger/picture alliance via Getty Images The recent public feud between FC Barcelona’s Marc-André ter Stegen and Bayern Munich’s Manuel Neuer might have paid dividends for Ter Stegen. Per a report, Joachim Löw will have Ter Stegen start the next two game for Germany. Per a report from kicker, Germany coach Joachim Löw may give FC Barcelona’s Marc-André ter Stegen a start for Die Mannschaft in one of Germany’s upcoming October matches. Germany will square off against Argentina in a friendly on Wednesday, October 9th, and will then battle Estonia in a UEFA EURO 2020 qualifier on Sunday October 13th. #Barca keeper Ter Stegen is expected to get a chance againest either Argentina (Oct. 9) or Estonia (Oct. 13). Meanwhile, the door for #BVB defender Mats Hummels remains shut (kicker).— Manuel Veth (@ManuelVeth) September 22, 2019The move comes after a two-week media squabble after Ter Stegen griped about his secondary role on the national team, behind Bayern Munich’s Manuel Neuer as first keeper. Since then, seemingly everyone with an opinion on the matter has chimed in with their own scorching hot take. The move to give Ter Stegen an opportunity after his public discontent might be tough for Löw to explain to Neuer, his captain and also one of the team’s most respected veterans. But giving Ter Stegen a start in the friendly match against Argentina would be a small price for Neuer to pay to keep the peace.Interestingly, in a kicker poll of 196,709 voters, a whopping two thirds (67%) voted that Ter Stegen should be the first keeper on the German national team.

Pep Guardiola covets David Alaba for Manchester City
Bayer 04 Leverkusen v FC Bayern Muenchen - DFB Cup Final Photo by Alexander Hassenstein/Getty ImagesNot even a global pandemic can stop silly season. The Court of Arbitration for Sport has given the green light.Now that the Court of Arbitration for Sport has overturned Manchester City’s two-year Champions League ban, one of the biggest players in the international transfer market just got a big green light to continue to flaunt Financial Fair Play rules put in place by FIFA. Per The Guardian, City will reportedly have £150 million to play with, and manager Pep Guardiola has added left-back and center-back to his list of demands.Enter David Alaba. Pep, the former Bayern boss, is all too familiar with Bayern’s versatile defenseman extraordinaire. Alaba is obviously more than capable at playing either of those positions at a very high level — some would say, the highest — and now is reportedly Pep’s top target.Alaba, who has previously expressed no such desire to play in Manchester, or even the Premier League, could potentially be swayed by the enormous wages that City can offer. Besides ruling that City can basically thumb their collective noses at FFP laws, the CAS also reduced City’s €30 million fine by about €20 million — roughly equivalent to a year’s wages for an elite player of Alaba’s caliber.As far as transfer rumors go, this smells like nothing more than someone connecting the dots of former manager with former player at a position of need. Alaba has expressed interest only in joining Real Madrid or FC Barcelona. Of course, this ruling in City’s favor could change things very quickly if Alaba no longer sees a future for himself in Munich.David #Alaba doesn‘t want to join #ManCity.

George Alaba spoke to a number of media outlets saying that no contract had been signed with anyone yet, and that a number of clubs were still interested. What this means for the whole saga is still unclear — you can assume that Madrid are still the front-runners.Here’s all the lastest updates, as captured by Sport1’s Florian Plettenberg:Update <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Alaba?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Alaba</a>: Minutes ago his father George told <a href="https://twitter.com/SPORT1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@SPORT1</a>: "No decision has been made yet and David hasn't signed with Real either.

Why <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Barca?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Barca</a> are still in the race?

Other German journalists are reporting the same. However, it seems like the move to Madrid is closer than ever, and won’t be made public until after the season is over. After all, Bayern are adamant that no one major will leave the club in January — and as a starting defender, Alaba still counts as a major player.Real also have plenty of incentive to keep the news from going public, since they’re trying to negotiate a new deal with Sergio Ramos. Ramos reportedly wants a contract with the same salary that he currently earns, while Florentino Perez is offering a 10% reduction in wages. Announcing an expensive new signing like Alaba (even on a free)…

Brazzo is nothing if not consistent.According to a report by RAC1 journalist Gerard Romero (considered quite reliable), <a href="https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com">Bayern Munich</a> have called <a href="https://www.barcablaugranes.com">FC Barcelona</a> to enquire about a loan deal for one of their right-backs. There’s no information on which player it could be, so any one of Sergi Roberto, Sergino Dest, or Emerson could be on the table.This is the total extent of the “report”, such as it is, and confirming its existence was a nightmare and a half. So, before I get into the question of plausibility, let me take you down the rabbit hole we go through to try and make sure our info is properly sourced. In a sea of fake news, this job can get very difficult.It starts with a tweet by @iMiaSanMia, who every Bayern fan follows. They actually do a pretty good job of making sure their news is real, so this is a good sign. However, when it comes to non-German sources, it’s best to find an outlet that corroborates the report.Bayern have called Barcelona to ask for a loan deal for one of their right-backs (Sergiño Dest, Emerson or Sergi Roberto). No more information on the identity of the player at the moment [<a href="https://twitter.com/gerardromero?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@gerardromero</a>]— Bayern & Germany (@iMiaSanMia) <a href="https://twitter.com/iMiaSanMia/status/1416525851315818498?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 17, 2021</a>The first step I usually go through is to look through the replies and quote tweets to see if anyone has called out the report for being false. There was nothing like that here, so I instead moved to Gerard Romero’s twitter to see if he had tweeted about the news. This led me to his Twitch stream, which is almost TWO HOURS long.Uf!

Real Sociedad v FC Barcelona - La Liga SantanderPhoto by David S. Bustamante/Soccrates/Getty ImagesThe latest saga to rock the transfer scene!With Bayern Munich looking for a new right-back, attention has once again been turned to American youngster Sergino Dest, who moved from Ajax to Barcelona last summer. The 20-year-old was intensely courted by the Bavarians in the last summer transfer window, only to choose a future in the Catalan capital alongside Leo Messi and Ronald Koeman.Since then, Barca have fallen into deep financial difficulties, while Bayern have had no luck finding a new RB on the market. According to Sport, the Catalan club might be willing to let Dest go if they receive a suitable offer. However, Barca want an outright sale, while Bayern Munich are looking for a loan.This news is however contradicted by some Spanish journalists who cover the club:Respecto a Sergiño Dest: calma total. No hay nada que distraiga al jugador. Tiene la confianza de Koeman. Quiere seguir. Va a seguir. #fcblive— Toni Juanmartí (@tjuanmarti) July 18, 2021No doubts regarding Sergiño Dest’s future. He has the trust & confidence of Ronald Koeman & neither does he want to leave Barcelona this summer.Fabrizio Romano says the same, although his information probably comes second-hand on this occasion:Despite rumours about negotiations/potential proposals, Sergiño Dest is not planning to leave Barcelona this summer. He wants to stay and he’s not considering any other option. #FCB #Barça— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) July 19, 2021So which one is the truth? Bayern are definitely looking for a right-back, that much is certain. Benjamin Pavard is considered too defensive to play the wing-back role that Bayern need, unlike his counterpart Alphonso Davies on the left. Known for his offensive prowess, Dest would be the perfect right-back for coach Nagelsmann. He was also extensively scouted and pursued by Bayern back when he was at Ajax, so he’s clearly on the club’s radar.However, it’s still unknown whether the two FCBs can ever come to a deal over the transfer of the young American. Given Barca’s desperate need to earn cash and Bayern’s need to save it, it’s looking very unlikely at the moment. Then again, the Philippe Coutinho transfer also looked unlikely at the time, but it ended up going through. It wouldn’t be out of the question for the two clubs to agree on a creative accounting solution.We’ll keep you updated as this story develops.

Germany Herzogenaurach Training SessionPhoto by Alexander Hassenstein/Getty ImagesDidn’t expect this in 2021, did you? Imagine a Low-coached Barca visiting the Allianz Arena.This news is only tangentially related to Bayern Munich, but it’s really funny so we’ve chosen to cover it. Per Barcelona journalist Gerard Romero, the Catalans are considering former Germany coach Joachim Low as the replacement to Ronald Koeman. This news was revealed following the Catalans’ disappointing draw to Granada last night, where they needed Ronald Araujo (a defender) to score in the dying minutes to rescue a point.In case you’re looking forward to Bayern meeting (and demolishing) a Low-coached Barca team in December, don’t hold your breath. Per Romero, he’s only one of a long list of names, which include world-beaters like Xavi, Pirlo, and Cocu.Low se une a la lista de Pirlo, Cocu, Conte, y Xavi. Estamos en directo en https://t.co/vrsj4Xxjlb #barça #koeman #koemantout— Gerard Romero (@gerardromero) September 20, 2021They also have Antonio Conte somewhere in there, but that seems like wishful thinking at the moment. Conte has always been a demanding coach — he’s hardly going to accept the Barca job when their squad is in such dire straits and they have no money for transfers.As for Low — he’s unlikely to go back into management so soon, though if Barca did come calling it might turn his head. Can he turn Barca around? No, obviously not. Don’t be ridiculous, Low could barely get Germany out of their group at the Euros. He’d do better than Koeman is doing right now, but that’s a very low bar.Still, it’s a funny thing to think about. How would Low line up his team? At least he wouldn’t have to worry about exiling his best player, since Messi already left for PSG. He could experiment with mediocre players all he likes, since Barca have quite a lot of them. And he could probably talk about doing a youth movement without fear of being ridiculed. Hell, the Catalan media would probably praise him. Sounds like the Barca job is a good fit for Low, to be honest.Laporta, time to pick up that phone!

CA Osasuna v FC Barcelona - La Liga SantanderPhoto by Juan Manuel Serrano Arce/Getty ImagesCould Bayern Munich finally get one of Brazzo’s transfer white whales?Before anyone starts throwing a parade, let’s absorb this situation a bit.Spanish journalist Gerard Romero is reporting that FC Barcelona right-back Sergino Dest is nearing a deal with Bayern Munich — and not Ajax as previous reports out of Spain have indicated.Dest, who was a primary transfer target of Bayern Munich before moving to FC Barcelona in 2020, could get a much needed change of scenery if this is true:⚠️ #MERCATO en https://t.co/vrsj4XOUJL: Dest sigue acercándose al Bayern de Munich. No hay trato con el Ajax, sí con el Bayern. Se negocia si habrá cesión o traspaso, pero está muy fuera del #Barça #jijantesfc #fcblive #fcbarcelona— Gerard Romero (@gerardromero) December 22, 2021#MERCATO in http://twitch.tv/gerard_romero : Dest keeps getting closer to Bayern Munich. There is no deal with Ajax, yes with Bayern. Negotiations if there will be loan or a transfer, but he is very much out of #Barça #jijantesfc #fcblive #fcbarcelonaWhile Dest has not exactly lit the world on fire with FC Barcelona, he is still considered a good prospect. Should a move to Bayern Munich come to fruition, Dest would give Julian Nagelsmann a natural wing-back for the right flank — which would potentially allow the manager to move to his preferred back-three set-up.While an acquisition of Dest would not necessarily guarantee that Nagelsmann would make a tactical change, it would at least give the coach an option should he want to change things up occasionally.

Deportivo Alaves v FC Barcelona - La Liga SantanderPhoto by Juan Manuel Serrano Arce/Getty ImagesA new right-back could still be on Bayern Munich’s agenda for the summer.According to Sport1’s Kerry Hau (as captured by Twitter account @iMiaSanMia), Bayern Munich will not only be looking to fill a hole at center-back this summer.The Bavarians will also be in search of another option at right-back. Transfermarkt’s Manuel Veth followed up on that news by stating that FC Barcelona right-back and USMNT star Sergino Dest could be back in play for Bayern Munich.Moreover, Veth stated that should the Rekordmeister pursue Dest, the cost for the former Ajax player will be “significantly less” than the €21 million that FC Barcelona pad for Dest back in 2020:Sergiño Dest to #Bayern could be back on. Although this would be a deal significantly less than what #Barca originally paid for the right back to #Ajax. https://t.co/BVgSNou5dA— Manuel Veth (@ManuelVeth) January 27, 2022Chelsea FC is also said to be interested in Dest, but Bayern Munich’s next investment at right-back will likely need to be able to function in a wing-back role as well. Julian Nagelsmann seems to be trending toward using a back-three at least part of the time in the future.It is safe to say that Bayern Munich will prioritize an offensively-minded option for its next acquisition at the position.

Ajax v Benfica - UEFA Champions LeaguePhoto by Soccrates/Getty ImagesCould Bayern Munich hit the daily double for Ajax players on the transfer market?According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Bayern Munich is making strides with its two Ajax transfer targets, midfielder Ryan Gravenberch and right-back Noussair Mazraoui.The talks with Gravenberch seem much further along and it looks like personal terms could be in the final stages. The fee between the two teams, however, could still be an issue. There was a big gap between the two clubs as of a week ago:Bayern are really pushing on Ryan Gravenberch deal with Raiola as priority signing. Personal terms negotiation now well advanced, contract proposal ready - up to the clubs to complete the agreement. #Bayern

First, there was a report out of Poland breaking the story:As TVPSPORT.PL learned, Robert Lewandowski is to sign a contract with Barcelona . According to our source, the captain of the Polish national team informed the Bayern Munich authorities about his decision.In recent weeks, a lot has been said about the future of Robert Lewandowski. The striker’s contract expires on June 30, 2023. Bayern’s authorities are reluctant to start talks on a new contract. The Polish representative is disappointed with this attitude. So far “Lewy” has played 369 matches for the 31-time German champion. He scored ... 340 goals in them . He is one of the best footballers in the history of the German tycoon.As we have established, Lewandowski will not sign a new contract with Bayern. We learned from the close circle of the player that the striker had already communicated with Barcelona. The best striker in the world is to come after a teleconference with the Blaugrana authorities. The information provided to us shows that all the terms of the contract have been agreed.The Pole informed Oliver Kahn about his decision. Bayern authorities already know that “Lewy” will start a relationship with a new employer. It is supposed to be FC Barcelona.Then, another Polish journalist ran with it further:With Lewandowski deciding to join Barcelona, it remains to be seen whether Bayern will agree to let him go. In previous years, Bayern always refused to negotiate - but now with one year left on his contract, Lewandowski's camp says chances of a transfer are bigger [<a href="https://twitter.com/s_staszewski?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@s_staszewski</a>] <a href="https://t.co/bCjV6HTk00">https://t.co/bCjV6HTk00</a>— Bayern & Germany (@iMiaSanMia) <a href="https://twitter.com/iMiaSanMia/status/1513509652037877766?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 11, 2022</a>Later, though, a few German reporters got wind of the story and refuted it or at least parts of it:Sport Bild’s Christian FalkNot True ❌ (as of today) <a href="https://twitter.com/altobelli13?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@altobelli13</a> <a href="https://t.co/qhKdiqDVDc">https://t.co/qhKdiqDVDc</a>— Christian Falk (@cfbayern) <a href="https://twitter.com/cfbayern/status/1513516737639165957?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 11, 2022</a>Sport1’s Kerry HauEin <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Lewandowski?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Lewandowski</a>-Abschied im Sommer ist möglich, Zahavi spricht mit anderen Vereinen (darunter <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Bar%C3%A7a?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Barça</a>).

However, Bayern Munich’s <a href="https://www.sbnation.com/champions-league">Champions League</a> rival, <a href="https://theshortfuse.sbnation.com">Arsenal FC</a>, would love a chance to bring in Kimmich: Arsenal have made an approach for a sought-after Bayern Munich star, but the club received a blunt response, according to reports.

Bayer 04 Leverkusen v Holstein Kiel - Bundesliga Photo by Joris Verwijst/BSR Agency/Getty Images Bayern Munich vs. VfB Stuttgart....are you ready? Leverkusen looking to block Wirtz move to Bayern (@Plettigoal)It is no secret that Bayern Munich wants Bayer Leverkusen ace Florian Wirtz. It is also no secret that the two clubs have built up some heat in recent months, so Bayer Leverkusen is not too thrilled about the noise that a move could happen this summer. In fact, Die Werkself wants to “block” Wirtz from transferring to Bayern Munich, but — if things take a turn for the worse — want to at least ensure they make a nice chunk of change from a sale of Wirtz: Florian #Wirtz is FC Bayern’s top target for the coming summer. Max Eberl has already held initial talks, and Bayern are ready to spend a massive transfer fee ✔️However, Leverkusen are determined to block a move to Bayern!From Leverkusen’s perspective, Manchester City are currently the club showing the most serious interest in the 21y/o and making the strongest efforts at the moment.If Wirtz decides to leave, Bayer definitely want to make him their record sale.X account @iMiaSanMia added more context to Plettenberg’s report with additional information on what kind of fee Leverkusen wants: In case of a sale, Bayer Leverkusen’s goal is to get €90-100m plus X for Florian Wirtz. The X could be either add-ons or players included in the deal.Like the Leroy Sané pursuit, it just feels like Bayern Munich is on a mission with this potential transfer. It really feels like it is a matter of “when” and not “if” this happens. As expected, though, Bayer Leverkusen is going to attempt to make this as difficult a process as possible.
