Do you think any interesting trades are going to happen due to World Cup performances?

I could see Vida being sold to somewhere bigger than Besiktas. Pavard had his moments and is only 22, so he's probably a future prospect for some bigger teams.

I can't come up with anything else right off the top of my head. I think most of the bigger performaces were by the usual suspects or at least players already secured by bigger teams.

I'd think Inui will be sold to a bigger club than Betis. But I haven't heard any buzz about it.

RM is flirting with Hazard and Mbappe, but whether anything will materialize. Who knows. Then again, these aren't exactly revelations of the WC: these players were already known talents, they just played as well at the WC as they do for their club every week.

Milinkovic-Savic is being talked about by the English papers, that would almost certainly be based on his WC performance.

I'm a bit surprised there's nobody making a run on all the Tottenham and Leicester players. Trippier and Maguire had a fantastic worldcup, as did some others. I guess it's just because the PL is always swimming in cash, so buying English players is always more effort than it's worth?

I could see Meunier getting a transfer upwards too, because he doesn't seem to be very happy at PSG anyway.



It seems Pavard will be joining Bayern Munich, also Hazard/Courtois heading towards Real Madrid, and although they have been playing well for years, there weren't any rumours about Real Madrid interest before their world cup appearances.

And yeah, Premier League players are really expensive right now, Maguire was linked recently to ManUtd with 50M which is really a lot, also Mahrez transfer was really expensive as well

Rebic & Trippier, and probably Lloris is getting an upgrade, be at tottenham to bind him or in another team. A lot of player will probably follow that situation, happy at their teams but with better negotiation power, like Pogba with it's rumoured $150m fee to go to Barcelona, Kante is going to be talked about and will probably get a better contract at Chelsea, etc...

Pavard also, but he is like 99% in Bayern Munich, Vida too

I also think Schmeichel will get a few decent offers

€75 million for Alisson, Chelsea also interested but not made a bid now. I think that figure will scare our board away and rightfully so right?

Donarumma who imo is Buffon's heir has a buyout of €50million due to Milan not making Champs League, sign him! Far higher potential than Alisson for example.

Pavard is going to join Bayern but that has nothing to do with the World Cup performance

Fifa team is voted by fans IIRC.

So I am not surprised that England and Brazil players are in it

Neymar is ridiculous. Paulinho and Young I kinda get.

Also, that should be Courtois and not Lloris. Courtois was out of this world in the Brazil match. And consistently excellent. Lloris was good, but also dropped the ball in the finals and never had any outstanding match.

Griezman also should be replaced by Lukaku or Kane, Both of which did more. And swap Neymar for Rakitic or Perisic.

Lloris is "questionable" as in, he was super good but Courtois better, ok, debatable but not like "WTF IS PAULINHO DOING THERE"

But Griezmann totally deserves it dude, he was a monster throughout the entire tournament

Henderson, DeBruyne and maybe Rakitic only CMs i can think of who should be in over Paulinho. In terms of who else is there right, they put him in there but if they put say James Rodriguez in, i would also be like wtf but could only list the 3 i have listed to be "over" him.

Over Neymar who else would replace him? Not sure i can think of anyone who deserves that. Maybe change formation and add Kane for golden boot but he was so missing in the important games (SPURS CHOKE ARTISTS :D)

Also as other say, Tibo was golden glove winner for a reason.

I'm just surprised that Salah wasn't voted in considering it was a fan vote and how they usually go

Jose Luis Sanchez: Real Madrid are not expected to make any ‘galactico’ signing as the transfer prices are exorbitant & will cost around €400M. They will bet on young talents like Asensio and Vinicius as the club doesn’t want to break the salary limits.

Some Journalist from Madrid who is very good with Real Madrid news (Tier 1 on systems on Reddit etc) said this earlier today. Would be great news for me and Chelsea fans :D

Kante. Hè played well every game except the finals and is one of the main reasons for France's stable midfield.

That €400M sounds oddly specific. Some rumour had that Chelsea was asking some €230M for Hazard, just a bit over the Neymar world record.

Hazard is turning 28 in january, not old by any means just that, after Madrid i don't think he has much left, i imagine 4-5 years at Madrid means 32-33.

Doubt Chelsea can get more than 140-150 for him, just because Madrid will probably not be able to sell him for a huge price at 32-33, Madrid is making a 130m euro offer which seems, good, even tho i think he ranks much higher in terms of "price"
