Conversation for football gourmets.
Record transfers are also important, but the more expensive deals – Anthony, Fofana, Tchouameni, Nunez and Casemiro, and the most talked about transfers like Haaland and Lewandowski – cannot fascinate people who know football cuisine well. Did Sterling and Jesus move to London? Fantastic players, but nothing intriguing, tired of being on the sidelines at Manchester City. Casemiro’s choice is also in favor Manchester United more interesting.
Although we are waiting for a trivial individual success here, because one incredibly high-level football player, and ten Hags, did not give up after two notable losses. But alongside the transfers, which have been discussed in detail, there are those that can make you think about the market from a different angle. Or on the spot of skinny players in the world of big commercial football. Make sure you share the transfers you are interested in, but for now our list.
Julián Alvarez (River Plate at Manchester City, € 17m)
Opens the list of Argentina’s most talented young footballers. The hypocrites will immediately complain that there is no tool that can measure talent, but those who have seen Alvarez in the legendary River Plate have no doubts that the second striker can fit into Guardiola’s game, making the “citizens” stronger. Time leaves its mark on De Bruyne, the midfielder is not as intrusive as before. Plus get ready world Cup-2022, where the Belgian generation of Kevin and Eden Hazard will make a desperate final push. But Alvarez runs to the World Cup after Messi has passed with Di Maria, and inside Premier League it will open. A special, non-trivial footballer.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (from Dinamo Batumi to Napoli, € 10 million)
Is it easy to spot Kvaratskhelia, who was successful in the beginning? These are the characteristics of the transfer window, closed by the first autumn cold, and even before that the sun of Georgian football managed to illuminate the streets of Neapolitan football. This is just the passage that Khvichi was terribly curious outside of talking about the first few games. There is a concept of potential achievement, and in this case in RPL the outside did not turn out because it lost interest. At Napoli everything is different, Zidane’s Marseille roulette spins against Lazio, ruins great moments, but scores the winning goal. Kavaratskelia’s lightness is impressive, he continues like this.
Jules Kunde (from Seville to Barcelona, 50 million euros)
It is not that interesting if Fofana will play for Chelsea, because Tuchel has many defenders without him: Koulibaly, Azpilicueta and Silva. Obviously, Wesley was overpaid, so more of a candidate for the role of Maguire than for steady success, a game for all money. It is more curious to evaluate another French: Kunde. Xavi has a short, fast, dominant and game-readable central defender who, at Barcelona without Dest and Bellerin, at the height of his form, can place both on the right in the top three and on the wing. Araujo and Kunde aren’t easy to play, but Xavi has a new Puyol.
Fabian Ruiz (from Naples to PSG23 million euros)
Why is this transfer important? He can talk about the cynicism of the world of great football. PSG took away one of Napoli’s key players, but if Vitinha plays, another interesting but different midfielder, and expert Verratti does not lose his place at the base, then Fabian Ruiz will not be the heir of Busquets and he will not make see in attack alongside Messi, Neymar and Mbappé. At Napoli the Spanish of the Betis school was important in PSG it is necessary to plant a desert after cleaning the center of the field under Galtier.
Charles de Quetelare (from Club Brugge to Milan, € 32 million)
The young Belgian cost the new club the same money as the transfer of Mane – Bayern. Football Ageism: Age Discrimination in All Its Glory? No, just the traditional influence of the contract duration and the player’s freshness on the deal amount. But the Senegalese salary is eight times more, immediate results are expected from him. And the clever Pioli can give de Ketelara a chance to grow. Charles still doesn’t shine much, only Bologna hurts, but as soon as he physically adapts they expect incredible moves, assists and goals. A true football painter came to Milan.
Nahuel Molina (from Udinese to Atlético, € 20 million)
Witsel and Reguilon are unlikely to surprise at Atlético. And certainly none of the newcomers of the summer has equal influence on the momentary result with Griezmann, Suarez and Felix, who came at different times to strengthen the “mattress” attack. But Simeone’s heart beats to the rhythm not only of tango, but also of defensive football. The loss of England’s Trippier, who went to Newcastle in the winter, has hit the side harder than they could have imagined. Argentine Nahuel Molina, against Udinese, will try to restore balance in the Atlético match. So far it hasn’t worked: he retired against Villarreal, Simeone led Llorente on someone else’s right flank. Let’s see what happens next, it’s unusual to see so many mistakes from Cloud’s defensive line.
Angelo Di Maria (from PSG to Juventus, free agent)
The only superstar on the list. But let’s highlight the old Di Maria, because we live in an interesting world. Bale was sitting on the Real Madrid bench, receiving over € 20 million, and has now gone to sunbathe in California. Of Mary inside PSG he was one of the most productive attacking players in the world of his time, created an incredible number of chances and now Angel has been expelled from the Paris squad by three prima donnas. The winger has signed for Juventus, where he will only receive around 7.5 million euros a year. But the benefits can bring a great deal. Allegri’s team is still crooked and oblique, but the Argentine’s class, when he is healthy, will help in the Champions League, where he will have to beat Angelito’s former clubs- PSG and Benfica, and in Serie A, where there are much better teams in terms of play. Vlahovic, Cuadrado and Di Maria have to work hard to make sure the former champion is at the top of the standings before Chiesa returns.
Alexei Miranchuk (Atalanta-Torino, loan)
Torino loses vertebrae, Bremer in defense and Belotti in the center of the attack. But Yurich yelled at his superiors and ended up with a couple of awesome newcomers. The Turinese are identified in Italy itself, a stubborn “bullock” bathes in the sea of giants. The success of the team strongly depends on the quality of the game Miranchuk and Vlasic. But Nikola’s transfer can hardly be called intriguing: it is believed that the Croatian will play. Yes, and Radonjic will show his best on the eve of the World Cup to enter Serbia’s candidacy. But Miranchuk’s passage is more interesting, because either he will tune in to serious work and become the leader of Torino, he will earn a ransom contract, or it is time to pack his bags in Cyprus, where a striker awaits him, which Serie A Un a fan rarely seen on the pitch, but he won’t soon forget it.
