Exclusive: Arsenal & Chelsea face huge Declan Rice transfer fee and more – Fabrizio Romano

Posted by

Crystal Palace

There’s no decision yet on Wilfried Zaha, and the situation remain open. Patrick Vieira wants him to stay but it’s up to the player, we will see what he will decide. For sure, the club are not yet in the process of deciding replacements… it’s still February, too early.

Galatasaray

Nicolo Zaniolo remains open to joining Galatasaray — as reported last night. The Italian midfielder wants the move while AS Roma and Gala keep negotiating on the formula of the deal. There will be another round of talks taking place today as Galatasaray are trying to find a solution.

Zaniolo himself has already given the green light to joining Galatasaray, personal terms have been agreed, so it now depends on the clubs.

Inter Milan

Inter CEO Beppe Marotta confirms: “Skriniar won’t be our captain anymore because we’ve to share the same clear values.”

Milan Skriniar already signed pre-contract as new Paris Saint-Germain player for the next season one week ago.

Manchester City

Pep Guardiola on potential Joao Cancelo’s return in June: “Now he’s at Bayern and we will see what happens next season. At the end of the season, we will talk many, many things with many, many players. So we will see.”

Nottingham Forest

Clean sheet on Premier League debut for Keylor Navas. Steve Cooper: “He deserves the credit for saving the points, but I also loved his composure in the game; his game-management and his decision-making.”

PSG

PSG director Luis Campos: “I’ve zero criticism for Neymar, trust me. I only have good things to say about him. He’s always on time. Always in a good mood. This Neymar, he’s an incredible Neymar.”

PSG director Luis Campos confirms: “We are in talks with Leo Messi as we want to extend his contract. I’d like to keep him in this project. We are talking now to achieve this goal and continue to have Messi with us.”

Tottenham

Yesterday we witnessed Harry Kane making history with the winning goal against Manchester City. 267 goals as Tottenham player, he is now the club’s all-time record goalscorer – a superb achievement.

I know everyone has an opinion on this, so here’s mine: Kane is an incredible player, on and off the pitch because all the players love him and respect him as a leader, goalscorer, teammate. This makes the difference. I’m sure he will try to destroy records again.

In terms of trophies, he really wants to win something with Tottenham, he’s been focusing on that for a long time and at times he’s come close and been unlucky. But trophies aside, using this lack of silverware to call Kane’s career “not good” wouldn’t be correct, he’s a fantastic striker, and he now deservedly has his place in the history books.

West Ham

David Moyes: “I’m sure Declan Rice will be a British transfer record plus more whenever he leaves West Ham.”

All parties expect Declan Rice to leave in the summer after he refused to sign new contract with West Ham 14 months ago.
