The news of the day in Spain
The pending issues of Real Madrid. Reinier and his imminent arrival have been the focus, but what we should be aware of for the rest of the month is undoubtedly players like Mariano or Brahim, usual discards who could be accommodated elsewhere. In addition, we cannot lose sight of the case of James Rodríguez.
FC Barcelona | The other signings that Quique Setién could influence. Emerson de Souza, right back of Real Betis who should, in principle, stay with the team until 2021, could arrive earlier than expected at Camp Nou. His excellent performances this season make us think that his arrival could be brought forward, even though Setién knows him and did not count on him much last season. Similarly, he could be decisive in another signing desired by the Culés, such as Fabián Ruiz, a midfielder from Napoli to whom the coach gave responsibilities very early in the Andalusian squad. In this case, he could be a decisive factor in convincing him.
Atlético de Madrid | Negotiations for Edinson Cavani continue. The rojiblanco team, which gave in against Eibar in Ipurua, wants to secure the services of the Uruguayan striker. However, PSG has rejected a proposal of €10 million considering it insufficient.
The news of the day abroad
The Arsenal's rival in the bidding for Bruno Guimarães. The pearl of Athletico Paranaense, a club that has set the midfielder's price between €25 and €30 million, is on the agenda of the Gunners and Benfica. According to information from several media outlets, including Goal and Globo Esporte, Arsenal wants to do everything possible to add the talented midfielder to their project. The Brazilian club wants to receive between €25 and €30 million for the player from Rio de Janeiro, who played a total of 35 matches last season. However, Benfica has also fully engaged in the race to secure Guimarães' transfer (22 years old). According to the mentioned media, Athletico Paranaense has rejected an offer of €20 million (plus incentives) from the reigning Portuguese champions. All this because their economic demands to part with their jewel are somewhat higher.
PSG | Thomas Tuchel wants to keep Layvin Kurzawa. Thomas Tuchel, the coach of the current Ligue 1 champions, has no intention of getting rid of his current pupil. At least, he wants to guarantee Kurzawa's continuity in Parc des Princes until the end of the 2019-2020 season.
Inter Milan returns to the negotiations for Christian Eriksen. The team led by Antonio Conte wants to resume negotiations with Tottenham Hotspur for the Danish player on Monday, January 20th. The economic demands of the London club amount to €20 million, but the Nerazzurri have currently stood at €13 million + €2 million in bonuses. Without leaving Serie A, they want to reactivate negotiations with FC Barcelona to secure the services of Ivan Rakitić, an operation in which Federico Bernardeschi and Emre Can could be involved.
