Transfer Zone: Real Madrid’s ‘slightly’ improved bid for Mbappe plus, Bayern vs Bayer

Florentino Perez 17 June 2021

Kylian Mbappe is desperate to join Real Madrid but how much more money will Los Blancos have to offer?

Kylian Mbappe

Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly turned down Real Madrid's £137million offer for Kylian Mbappe.

That's not going to discourage the shrewd operator that is President Florentino Perez. You just know he's got another ace up his sleeve.

PSG saying €160m not enough. Scenes when Florentino closes the deal for €161m.

Chelsea

A strong transfer window for the Blues could be about to get even better as Saul Niguez and Joules Kounde near a move to Stamford Bridge.

The deal might as well come with the Premier League trophy…

If Chelsea are able to get Saul Niguez and Joules Kounde to their team, we should just end the league and give them the title

Shkodran Mustafi

Remember Shkodran Mustafi? The former Arsenal man is still without a club following his release from Schalke 04.

It appears that the Gunners faithful are not keen on having him back either.

I'll always be thankful to him for not signing the new contract Arteta wanted to give him

Harry Kane

Harry Kane has announced that he will be staying with Tottenham this season.

Looking at the reaction online, it's best to ignore posts like these. Kane didn't reject City. Levy did.

In order to sign Harry Kane, Man City:

Refused Aguero a new contract
Dropped Haaland pursuit
Dropped Lukaku pursuit
Rejected Messi on a free
Refused to pay €25m for Ronaldo

Today, with less than a week left of the window, Harry Kane has rejected Man City. pic.twitter.com/KqxsU2MCXG

Lyanco

Southampton have bolstered their squad with the signing of Lyanco from Serie A side Torino.

Hard to know what to expect form the defender. This Torino fan is clearly happy that he's gone.

None us at Planet Sport speak Italian but a quick translation showed that two of the words used were 'broken' and 'disaster'… that's encouraging.

Thanks Thanks Thanks from a Torino fan! He is a big pippa al sugo, sempre rotto! Ahahahah

Amine Adli

Toulouse player, Amine Adli, was on Bayern's radar during this transfer window. Instead, he is set to join Bayer.

One letter. Big difference.

True ✅ Bayern had just talks with the Player and his agent but not with Toulouse. Adli wanted to go to Bayern. But there was no official offer at the end from Bayern https://t.co/c0ALUN1oop
