With less than a month to go, I think we can slowly start posting stuff here…
Romano:
Bayern agree €15m deal to sign Bryan Zaragoza from Granada, done deal.
◉ Understand Bryan already completed medicals.
◉ Deal valid starting from July — not for January.
◉ Contract agreed until June 2028, it’s all done.
RB Leipzig wanted to pay €14m clause to sign Bryan in January but he wants to help Granada, and he will sign for Bayern now then join the club next season, staying at Granada on loan.
Unsure whether I’m more amused by Bayern signing Bryan, or that they’re getting him from a Spanish club that isn’t Zaragoza…
Romano:
AC Milan have reached an agreement with Juan Miranda to join in 2024. Personal terms agreed with Spanish left back on a contract that will be valid until June 2028. AC Milan will now offer around €2m to Real Betis to anticipate deal in January as Miranda’s contract expires in June… more to follow.
Eric Bailly from Besiktas to Villarreal on a free, 2-year deal.
Great signing by Milan.
Think the Italian DOFs are the best in the business…
Shocking that Bailly is still only 28, but he really derailed his career moving to ManU (7 years ago!). I think he will have ended up peaking at Villareal at 21, unless they can get him back on track.
Have we bought anyone or five yet? FSG out!
Fabio Silva to Rangers on loan from Wolves. What a massive flop that has been for Wolves - £40m.
Eljif Elmas from Napoli to RB Leipzig for €23m.
Lucas Beraldo from Sao Paulo to PSG for €20m.
Isak Hien from Hellas Verona to Atalanta for €9m.
Will we sign Kylian in early or mid-Jan?
Both.
Yes.
It’s nearly mid January and we still haven’t signed anyone yet. Come on lads, get on with it!

The lack of churn around PSG right now really suggests that Mbappe is just going to leave on a free in June.
