Top 5 European transfer news of the day
5. AGREEMENT BETWEEN MARIO GOMEZ AND BORUSSIA DORTMUND
According to Turkish portal Hurriyet, Borussia Dortmund have reached agreement with Fiorentina striker Mario Gomez who has refused to return to Besiktas. The Germany International could be available for somewhere around € 5-10 million.
4. CR7 ASKS REAL MADRID CONTRACT EXTENSION
The Portuguese ace has requested the 11-time Champions League winners to extend his contract through an interview released with Spanish paper AS. Ronaldo has claimed that he will meet Florentino Perez after his return from holidays.
3. MAHREZ AGREES TO JOIN ARSENAL
Leicester City star Ryiad Mahrez could follow the same path of N’Golo Kante and move out from the King Power Stadium. According to reports in England, Mahrez has agreed to join Arsenal and will move to the Emirates in a € 50 million deal.
2. WITSEL MOVE TO EVERTON IMMINENT
Gianlucadimarzio.com claims the Belgium International will move to Everton in a € 25 million deal (plus € 5 million of bonuses). Witsel had agreed to move to Napoli before the partenopei coach blocked his arrival at the San Paolo just a few weeks ago, whilst Juventus don’t seem to be interested anymore in the former Benfica man whose arrival at Goodsion Park appears to be imminent.
1. JUVENTUS TRIGGER HIGUAIN’S €94M RELEASE CLAUSE
Juventus have triggered Gonzalo Higuain’s € 94.7 million release clause to sign the Argentinean striker from Napoli. Last year’s Serie A top scorer has agreed to sign a € 7.5 million-a-year-deal and has already underwent medical with the Old Lady. Higuain’s transfer to the J Stadium means Paul Pogba’s move to Manchester United is almost a done deal. Napoli are considering the signings of Bacca or Icardi to replace the former Real Madrid and River Place ace.
