Random Rumours

Been linked with CDM Kouadio Kone of Werder Bremen. 

Definitely a signing I can get behind.

Supposedly a Vivell recommendation.  Don’t know enough about him to have an opinion.  Interesting because most of the recent rumours seem to be players we have been linked to under the previous regime.  Hopefully this is the fresh out look in the transfer window we desperately need.  The guys from BM Gladbach by the way.

 
How reliable is the source?

This is what I am picturing you being like at this moment:

Would expect he has some say for sure.

 
Apparently our two "big money" priorities for January are Enzo and Rafa Leao, but both are said to be highly unlikely for different reasons.

On these two neither club is willing to sell unless their releases clauses, Enzo at 120mill euros and Leao at 150mill euros, are met.

We have made the offer of 120mill euros for Enzo, a few different sources reporting this as fact, we have however not offered for Leao the 150mill as we are said to hope his desire to join us as his priority and him having 18 months left on his deal would see Milan accept less, supposedly we are willing to wait till the summer expecting Milan to soften their stance as long as no one tries to sign him ahead of us, which seems very unlikely.

Enzo is the opposite situation as he has several years left on his Benfica deal and he is aware of Real Madrid, Man City and Liverpool holding an interest in him. It has been said he is happy to stay at Benfica and assess his options in the summer, where Benfica would also be more receptive to offers. 

Chelsea are using a man Todd has gotten to know well, Jorge Mendes, to try and convince Enzos camp to join us in January but the deal has a Raphinha feel to it in that he is said to not see Chelsea as the move he desperately wants, nor a step up from Benfica, and is willing to wait for a more dream move.

What I have gathered from a few searches on the matter.

Standard is also on this story now. Ready to pay the release clause now in January according to their sources too.

Could very well be something in this. Would obviously be a massive coup. If we somehow land Fernandez in January and Rice/Caicedo in the summer we will have fixed or midfield more or less.
Hopefully if this actually happens it means we're not going anywhere near Rice.

We still need to pair Enzo with a DM though; sure he can play as the DM but I reckon he is most effective with a water carrier next to him. Florentino Luis does that for him at Benfica, Rice can be that for him.
