Well he is Henderson but German/Turkish...interesting signing. He isn't nothing special yet right? Just good passing, good energy etc?

Deal is his activation clause which is £9.75M (€12million)

Liverpool rumoured to be interested in Markovic for 30M€ - since Lallana is too expensive it seems, while Atletico are rumoured to be interested in Oblak as a replacement for Courtois. If those go through, Benfica's starting eleven next season:

(TBD)
(TBD) - Luisão - (TBD) - (TBD)
(TBD)
(TBD) - (TBD) - (TBD)
(TBD) - (TBD)

I think our midfield will be particularly strong.

Wasn't their rumors last summer that Chelsea had some sort of option in that Markovic clause? Or was that just silly?

Also hasn't he not impressed that much this season for Benfica? Probably needs another season.

Sky Sports understands a number of Premier League clubs are tracking Spartak Moscow forward Yura Movsisyan. The 26-year-old is one of the hottest properties in Europe after scoring 20 goals in just 35 matches for Spartak over the last 18 months.


Some German clubs interested too, i would think the likes of Dortmund/Leverkusen.

The kid has it. Tons of flair, acceleration and genius and is already more consistent than Di Maria was at his age. Third game for Benfica he scored this goal vs Sporting:

I watched this live and almost came:

On the counter he's absolutely lethal, he'll sometimes be 10 meters behind the line of defense, flick the ball upwards in the field and just breeze past the defensive line and become isolated towards the goal.

He's the kind of player that when the ball arrives at his feet, the energy in the crowd turns up in expectation of something magical happening. That kind of player, when they're young, can be inconsistent and turn off during periods of the game. There were games where he didn't really show up. With Jesus, however, he's grown and become more reliable as the season went on, and he's also faced competition from Salvio who IMO should start in Argentina when healthy.

He should definitely be in the range of 30M€. I'm not sure what is the deal with Chelsea as these kinds of things involving agents and what not are never really transparent.

Catalan newspaper "Sport" claims that the replacement for departing Fabregas will be none other than Ivan Rakitić from Sevilla. The Croatian, who had fantastic season, has a release clause of 25m€, but Sevilla's board is likely to accept 20m€ + clauses offer from Barcelona as the player and his agent seem both determined to seal this deal. There's been also interest in him from Real Madrid, Atletico and Manchester City, but Blaugrana stands out as the most likely direction.

They are sniffing around Koke as well. Personally out of Koke Fabregas Rakitic i would go for Koke everyday of the week. Not because he might be the better passer, but all round for me because of Simeone's style, he would work best in Chelsea/England.
For Barca as well, because he has been in La Liga he will do fine too.

Rakitic would fit in perfectly in the Premier league.
He's a strong winger.

Rakitic and Modric were best top 5 mf's this season. Especially Rakitic, just watch his 120 minutes against Benfica and see how strong he is.

Dont dare to miss Brazil vs Croatia.

I knew he Bayern had a buyback clause but I didn't know he had a release clause. He's strong and athletic, so he won't get outmuscled in the Premier League, but I think he's too naive and raw right now. He should have stayed at Leverkusen for another season or two : /

I hope he does well for Liverpool though.

yeah but Athetico's president has stated that they will not sell Koke and that he wants to stay, so either he doesn't have release clause? or he acutally wants to stay, or it's all bullshit and he's leaving soon

Koke have 60 million euros release clause.

I belive both Barca and Chelsea willing to pay. They just need to persuade Koke.
