There is a lot of gossip surrounding the summer transfer window. Transfer Talk keeps you up to date on all the latest gossip. Calciomercato says that a second offer will be made to sign Matthijs de Ligt but will need to part ways with Robert Lewandowski. The Dutch international defender is being demanded a total transfer fee of 90 million by the Italian giants. A total package of 70m was rejected by the Bianconeri, despite the initial proposal of 60m plus a further 10m. With De Ligt already agreeing a multi-year contract worth 10m-per-season, the next proposal will come closer to what the Bianconeri want. Barcelona had an initial offer of 40m, plus 5m in add-ons, rejected by the German club, while Paris Saint-Germain have now shown a willingness to get involved at around 50m. The incoming funds can be diverted into the De Light transfer once an agreement has been reached. On the U.S. only, you can stream the daily edition of ESPN FC.
