Today’s rumours are heavily invested
T
here is a sense that the transfer window is entering a period of calm before the inevitable storm. The chitter-chatter of agents is at a lull and the same old names are being bandied around in the hope someone will finally have a nibble.
Tottenham’s Son Heung-min is on his way out and therefore a replacement needs to be found by Thomas Frank. At this stage of August, it is sensible to target someone who is definitely available. Real Madrid’s Rodrygo will be allowed to leave the Spanish capital and moving to the British equivalent may be a reasonable selling point to the Brazilian, not to mention the joys of testing himself in the Premier League rather than sitting on a number of La Liga benches.
If Liverpool are to get the money together to bring in Alexander Isak, it would be quite helpful if they could off-load Darwin Núñez. Do not fear, because there is often a Saudi Premier League side willing to help out clubs in such a plight and Al-Hilal are open to offering a massive wad of cash in exchange for the Uruguayan striker.
