It's 'crazy season' and you know what that means? We have plenty of silly passing rumors to sink our teeth into.
This past week, we've been blessed with crazy transfer deals, clubs have been linked to quadruple their transfer record and Liverpool finally do some business.
Here's our pick of the worst transfer rumors of the past week.
Rumors
According to the Turkish journalist, Ertan Suzgun, Besiktas has tabled a request for Antony, who runs for Manchester United. The Brazilian, however, is determined to stay at Old Trafford despite the club's desire to offload him this summer.
Our take
'Big name player linked with move to Turkish Super Lig' rumors from Antony this week.
And while Man Utd's willingness to sell Antony this summer is no surprise, Besiktas' ability to sign him would be. It's hard to imagine the Brazilian star's reported £43m price tag being feasible at the Super Lig club – in fact, it would be four times his previous record fee.
Rumors
Sports Area in France report that Jadon Sancho has reached an agreement with Paris Saint-Germain, but the Ligue 1 giants are yet to meet United's £50m asking price.
Our take
Sancho has endured a torrid time with United so far, but after settling in for Erik ten Hag and seeing his involvement in recent friendlies, it looks like he will be given another chance to impress at the start of the 2024/25 Premier League. League season.
90 min and he understands that PSG are prioritizing the movement of the likes of Desire Doue et Victor Osimhen instead of one of Sancho.
Rumors
AS are reporting that Chelsea and Real Madrid are discussing a swap deal involving goalkeepers Kepa Arrizabalaga and Andriy Lunin.
Our take
This is such a ridiculous transfer rumor that we have to make a list of reasons why it's stupid:
- Chelsea are in the news for signing Filip Jorgensen from Villarreal.
- There is a point in Real Madrid swapping Lunin, who started ahead of Kepa last season, for Kepa, who warmed the bench behind Lunin while on loan last season.
- Direct exchange is not financially inclusive, as Lunin is better and smaller than Kepa.
Rumors
In accordance with El NacionalBarcelona are interested in Luis Diaz as another target for Nico Williams if they fail to secure the services of the Euro 2024 star. Diaz is valued at €60m by current club Liverpool.
Our take
So…here's the gist of the story:
Barcelona will target a player worth €2m more than Williams – his release clause is €58m – if they can't sign the Athletic Club forward.
Make sense.
Rumors
Turkish-Football reports that Liverpool have inquired about the availability of Arda Guler and are now preparing a formal bid.
Our take
Considering the lack of guaranteed game time available at Real Madrid, this could be a smart move for Arda Guler, as he would be a key player for Liverpool.
That being said, it's hard to imagine Madrid agreeing to sell him this summer after his impressive Euro 2024 campaign. He's very bloody.
Rumors
Marca they report that David de Gea is about to sign a contract with Serie A club Genoa, which will end his one-year suspension from the game.
Our take
De Gea's contract bids initially looked set to reject the deal, but after that was ruled out, the former United goalkeeper now looks set to sign for Genoa any day now.
It's an interesting move for the Spanish goalkeeper, who may have turned down lucrative offers from Saudi Arabia to play his football in Europe next season.
