Transfer gossip: Pogba to Barcelona? Butland to Chelsea? | OneFootball

We’re back from a two-day break from the best World Cup in history.

But before we get back to the matches, it’s time to talk club football.

Let’s kick-off with the latest transfer rumours.

Real Talk 😀

Chelsea are expected to make a slew of signings at the conclusion of the World Cup, with Football London reporting that 22-year-old Russia and CSKA Moscow star Aleksandr Golovin is expected to be the Blues’ first man to put pen to paper this summer.

Gonzalo Higuaín and Alisson are among those being pursued.

Former CEO of Juventus, Luciano Moggi, says that the Juventus deal for Real Madrid valued at €100m.

Fake News 😡

Don Balon reports that Messi has specifically asked Barcelona to sign Paul Pogba after watching the French go out there and run riot all over Argentina.

Pogba on the move again? Come on now.

Fantasy Football 🙄

The Guardian report Jack Wilshere is set to sign a three-year contract with West Ham.

Torino are one of a number of clubs interested in Watford midfielder Roberto Pereyra, according to reports. However, the Hornets are not prepared to let the Argentine go for less than €25m.

Everton have rejected a €13.5m bid from RB Leipzig for striker Ademola Lookman. Lookman impressed for the German outfit last season, scoring five times in 11 matches.

Wolves have attempted to bid €13.5m to land Manchester City wing-back Alex Zinchenko.

Liverpool have declined the chance to bid for Aston Villa star Jack Grealish.

Chelsea and Tottenham are not expected to try and sign Luke Shaw.

Chelsea are reportedly ready to ship out David Luiz and Danny Drinkwater this summer

The bookies have seen prices for Jack Butland to Chelsea drop from 14/1 to 3/1 overnight. If they sell Thibaut Courtois, the Blues are expected to pounce on the Stoke City goalkeeper.

What you missed yesterday 👇

Watford made a pair of signings, landing Swedish midfielder Ken Sema from Östersunds FK, and Ben Foster from West Brom. Foster had a loan stint with the Hornets 11 years ago, while Sema notably impressed in last year’s Europa League tie with Arsenal.

Brighton signed Brazilian defender Bernardo from German club RB Leipzig for a fee in the region of €10m.
