The latest on Federico Chiesa's £12.5m deal to Liverpool | The Transfer Show

Michael brid dth alongside me for the second edition of the transfer show let's talk about Federico ker so obviously his destination is is Liverpool we saw him leave Italy touch down at John lenon Airport how close is this one to getting done Michael well in terms of the clubs AIA has being agreed of around 12.5 million pounds which people might say is pretty decent value he still got a complete a medical though which we'll see how that goes it could be a longer one than usual we've talked all day about his his record but but relatively close to a first summer signing for this transfer window for Liverpool and honor slot yeah I mean obviously we know about Yori madash going and then coming back to to Valencia so it could be two in two days if this one goes through Michael people will question his form post injury but you mentioned the decent value for that for that money this this does feel actually relatively low risk doesn't it for Liverpool yeah I mean the price reflects his injury record and and his contract length people we've you know talking to our colleagues today and we listening to people today we know about his ability but it is a lot to do with the injur with the injuries he's sustained in the past before of course it's an if but if he stays fit it's it's excellent value but and it's it's a it's someone who's very versatile as well I mean if we look at someone like Liverpool like Diego jot when fit a key key forward key player but I have to say David I've said it for a few clubs this season this summer and we're going to have this draw this week the Champions League draw it is an extended Champions League we are going to have so many matches this season there no no talk anymore about a 1 to 11 it's a squad game a complete Squad game if he stays fit it'll be a good signing for honest okay um let's turn our attention to Raheem Sterling he's got two new days to find a new club Dage what Solutions are Chelsea working on to get him out yeah it could be an interesting couple of days now for rahee Sterling and Chelsea in general what Chelsea are doing is that they are speaking to clubs they've taken it upon themselves to try and sort out a future effectively for Raheem Sterling so they will try and get agreements with interested clubs then they will put those interested clubs and those agreements to Raheem Sterling and then it'll be up to Raheem Sterling to decide where he wants to go he won't get involved in those discussions until there are agreements with these clubs because there's such little time left in this window but it is clear that Raheem Sterling's future could be key to Chelsea's pursuit of jayen sancho from Manchester United Now Chelsea remain in talks with Manchester United over the signing of sancho Sancho himself understood to be open to the move but for Chelsea to do that deal it would require them to release some of their players notably Raheem Sterling it should be noted here though if Manchester United sell or loan jayen Sancho in their summer transfer window it doesn't necessarily mean that they will need to replace jayen Sancho for the remainder of this window because they are well stocked in the forward area however it is clear that the idea of Raheem Sterling potentially joining United is something that Manchester United will consider because he is a good player and it's Raheem Sterling and it would be quite a unique Market opportunity if you like for Manchester United so as it stands all options remain open and those options include jayen Sancho remaining at Manchester United and Raheem Sterling still remaining at Chelsea even though he is part of that 33 man squad just now but he hasn't got a shirt number just carrying on with rahee um Jaden Sancho Juventus they're still pushing to do a deal for Sancho they want to do a loan and that loan would incorporate a loan fee and the payment of wages but Juventus would want to negotiate with Manchester United a portion of those wages to be paid by United United's preference would definitely be a permanent deal or a loan with an obligation but a loan in itself cannot be ruled out with the remaining hours that are left in this transfer window simply because he's effectively got three years left on his contract and if he wants to go to Juventus just hypothetically speaking on a season long loan this season and played well he would still have two years left on his contract effectively when he came back next summer and maybe an increased Market valuation so I think Juventus are keeping an eye on that situation they're waiting for United's decision and for Jaden Sancho's decision but whatever they choose to do if it is to be alone then you would think that that loan fee would have to be a substantial one for United to consider it okay that that's sancha let's get back to to Chelsea Michael because you know dsh alluded to it I mean they've got they've got an awful lot to do in this next couple of days yeah but um I think what we've seen over the last few days it was an excellent win for Chelsea at wolves the other day scoring six goals enesa has been pretty clear I've I've enjoyed listening to him actually about look the previous players i' I've choose my squad everything else isn't down to him he knows the what he wants he knows the amount of players he wants to work with we know there's a number of players who aren't part of his plans anymore what we also know is they want slash need a striker we told you yesterday about the interesting Ivan Tony and of course the one we all know about it's Ross yeah speaking of him I mean dsh we we know that Napoli are under a bit of a degree of pressure to try and move on Victor Osman um Chelsea where where are they at in terms of this whole situation right now well Chelsea remain in talks and Al Ali the Saudi Arabian Club remain in talks as well and Al Ali are understood to be feeling more hopeful of being able to do a deal for the Napoli Striker Victor Osan they've bid around 70 million euros for Victor Osan and talks are continuing to convince osaman to come to Saudi Arabia now according to Sky and Italy there are officials from from Al Ali who are in Italy at the moment speaking to Osman and his Representatives trying to convince him that Saudi Arabia would be a good destination for him Al Ali would be a good destination for him and what the carrot is for Victor Osman would be a four-year deal worth 30 million EUR a year30 million EUR a year but they would also want included in that contract an exit clause so that if a club were to come in for him because he still believes as his agent had said yesterday on social media that he still has plenty to offer one of European football's top five European leagues now I mentioned the reason that Al Ali might be getting a little bit more hopeful that's because other interested clubs including Chelsea are finding increasingly difficult to find a resolution for vikor Osman and the big reason for that it's twofold the transfer fee but also probably more significantly the wages that Victor Osan is on they simply can't go to to those kind of wages and we think at this as it stands Victor Osan doesn't want to take a cut in his wages which is going to be a problem for Chelsea so while that's happening in the background Chelsea are obviously going to look at alternative targets we were told yesterday that Ivan Tony is a potential Target for them for the remainder of this transfer window and Ivan Tony will be keeping an ey aiman situation as well because Al Alli were in talks with brenford over signing Ivan Tony so if they were to get aiman then that would probably leave Ivan Tony needing to find a move to a European or a Premier League club so plenty still to happen in these final two days the one bit of leeway that these clubs have got in Saudi Arabia is that their window closes slightly later yeah the Saudi pro league window shuts on Monday okay I I would say as well over the last couple of years I don't if you agree with this the day before deadline day is busy like like never before it you start to get murmurings before the actual deadline day itself yeah tomorrow is going to be busy I think yeah yeah and I think it's what why I found fascinating is that this has ramped up and just in in the last few days the last week or so the gear that we've found with this transfer window is is just really ramped up and it it stage is set isn't it for yeah Thursday and Friday itself deadline day it's absolutely appointment to watch TV right here on Sky Sports News um Michael we've spoken an awful lot about Manuel as a Manchester United Target and this one has been close and Fe agreed and all these sorts of things for for a little while now but he's still not officially a Manchester United player so I mean I'm guessing nothing for Manchester United to worry about here I don't think so at all and we know he was their Prime Midfield Target this summer I think Eric tenagers has been pretty clear the targets he wanted so much has changed off the pitch of Manchester United this summer right to the top M bar from Manchester City it's Dan ashw to D BR with Jason wil so clear what they all wanted and I think it's a matter of when not if this gets yeah he's in the UK Manuel L he's been having a medical ahead of that move from Paris sgain it's worth 60 million EUR 50 million EUR initial payment 10 million EUR in performance related add-ons shouldn't be any problem with this deal going through and Scott Momin is a player that could leave Manchester United we were told initially that he was going to be flying to Italy Today ahead of finalizing that move to Napoli worth €30 million EUR that's €25 million EUR initial payment plus5 million EUR in add-ons there were just a few documents that needed signing off and that's been happening early this evening and into tonight and we think now mctom will fly to Italy tomorrow to finalize that deal with regard to U and Momin I'm told both deals are on track and there's every expectation that sooner rather than later U will become a Manchester United player and Momin will become a Napoli player okay um let's uh switch our Focus to an outgoing at Aral and that's Eddie and Kea now you told us last night this was deal agreed with with Crystal Palace how long before he is officially a palace player then Michael not long at all medical tests uh went on today we hear there no issues so it is very close to to for Eddie and K ending his long stay at Arsenal and having a new challenge which maybe he he will Embrace he will look forward to leaving on great terms similar to what we saw of Emil Smith row and I got to say Arsenal looking they doing some very very good business they're recing a lot of money as well with the sale of of Smith thr and and soon to be and KY around 25 million rising to 30 million Palace get another forward Oliver Gnar wanted as well there was tentative inquiries about wives zahar weren't there a few weeks ago it was quite romantic being in the world I don't know but it was something like oh this is quite sentimental yeah sentimental that's the better one is it but um I think in terms of there's a few tax issues in terms and it was pretty too difficult to do but yeah Ina close to Crystal P yeah there's been many many years in the making this one because this is not the first time we've spoken about in keto to Palace I was looking through my notes before searching in ketcher what we've been reporting on him in the past few days and all of my historic emails came up and 2021 there was interest and you yeah Crystal Palace deleted them that in itself is a romantic story you know Palace finally finally getting there man um okay well in terms of the other side of the pitch for for Palace Michael I mean you know closing in on a Defender how is that related to Mark Gay's impending departure or or is it not at all I don't think it is at all Maxin laqua is a central Defender from Wolfsburg that um Oliver glasner has liked for some time fear has been agreed we understand and he's preparing to travel to the UK might even be traveling as we speak now that has no bearing on Mark Gay and the interest from Newcastle United time is running out there because Palace are short of Defenders with gay so something big has to happen in these last couple of days in terms of Newcastle United or a Newcastle starting look to look elsewhere we'll wait and see okay mentioned you know potential Arsenal outgo with Eddie and ker and another one let's talk Keepers dares with Aaron ramell Southampton how's that one looking I I'm pretty surprised he's he hasn't moved yet actually because we knew that this was going to be the summer that Ramel was probably going to make a move to really maintain his place in the England squad if anything else now at the start of the wi aax were interested but they were only offering a loan wolves were interested but they couldn't agree a deal Southampton even before that were interested but they couldn't agree on an obligation fee now Southampton since switched their targets to the fin keeper Justin biljac but they couldn't get a deal done for him because there was an issue with the medical and so they now seem to have gone back to to the ramsdale situation they're still exploring this deal there is still we think a gap in valuation on what the obligation fee would be and we think the obligation would come into play if Southampton did stay in the Premier League because they want to do an initial loan with an obligation fee so there'll be lots of talks going on between the two clubs around the kind of deal that can be done here because if it is going to be an obligation and the big factor is is whether Southampton will stay up you would think then rather like we were talking about with uh Raheem Sterling and potential loan fees and all of that kind of thing there could possibly be a bigger loan fee that Arsenal would demand just in case Southampton didn't stay in the Premier League now if Aaron ramsdale was to leave Arsenal in this transfer window they have been doing due diligence and working on potential Replacements Joan Garcia from espanol is one we have been talking about and I think they'd be ready to really accelerate on that deal if ramale was to go all right guys some thank you very much indeed um Premier League rap is next with these two I'll put darish and Michael on the spot with their predictions for the next couple of days as well stay with us this is the transfer [Music] show ree Nelson could be one to watch in the final hours with a number of clubs interested in signing the Arsenal forward Chelsea could turn back to Aston Villa Striker John Duran as their search for a striker continues Bournemouth are hoping to complete a lone move for Kea Ariza Baga before

their offer foran wher Notting for us to still trying to sign a striker before Friday's deadline Southampton remain in discussions with Arsenal over the potential signing of Aaron ramsdale but there's still a gap in the obligation fee well as it stands at Tottenham the focus is outgoing giovan Lelo and Sergio regon could leave before Friday's deadline West Ham United still working on a deal for PSG midfielder Carlos Solair and the final hours could see a few players leave wolves have agreed a fee of 10 million with Crystal Palace for Sam Johnson negotiations continue but the deal is getting [Music] closer all right so not long to go as you heard it's Friday that is deadline day you can can follow every single twist and turn from 7 Sky Sports News the place to be and the deadline in England and Scotland is 11:00 p.m. we will go beyond that of course and just make sure we've got you across all the deals that are done okay um let's get to romelo Lukaku very quickly because we know that Chelsea have had this sort of situation trying to sort of move him on he's been on loan many many times is this the time that they finally say goodbye to Romo Lukaku in Napoli certainly looks that way the the deal was agreed um a few days ago worth an initial 30 million EUR plus bonuses and Antonio con it was his primary Choice from the moment that he got into the job as Napoli manager and these are shots these are incredible shots actually chaotic if you like of romelo Lukaku arriving in Rome to take a medical the couple of the photographers actually fell down there but Lukaku helped them up such is such as the I mean it's no one is getting a clean shot of Romero Lukaku everyone is getting the every single time he's every time single time he's moved particularly to Italy these have been the scenes for romelo Lukaku is a high-profile signing Napoli have wanted him from the moment that Antonio Conte had come in as I mentioned before there was a bit of doubt about this deal because they couldn't agree on a fee when they finally did there was still a bit of an issue with the image rights between romelo Lukaku and Napoli that thankfully got sorted and now we're on the verge of him being formerly presented as a Napoli player yeah okay last couple of minutes of the show time for your predictions if you like gaze into the crystal ball for me guys um Raheem Sterling will he be leaving Chelsea or staying by the end of the window Michael uh I think they'll find a solution for Raheem Sterling yes okay to move him out of the club yes yeah okay what about Jaden Sancho will he be at United or at Chelsea or elsewhere dsh well the Raheem Sterling issue is going to be key to what happens with Jaden Sancho be It Go going to United or them finding another solution for Raheem Sterling to be able to go and get J Jaden Sancho so as it stands there is an expectation that both will leave but there's still a possibility both will remain at their clubs Victor Osan I'll ask you both on this one I mean it would be such an incredible transfer for him to be in the Premier League given you his story will he be a Chelsea player or is he heading elsewhere what do you think Michael I I think he'll leave Napoli but I don't think he'll join Chelsea because we've been talking about napol all summer and they want to bring in Scott m as well players and wages have to go out you agree yeah I mean Napoli are under a bit of pressure here they're a bit hamstrung because of the situation they've effectively ostracized him from the first team squad he's earning over2 200,000 a week and he's training away from the first team is not an ideal situation they need to get him out Saudi Arabia really pushing Al Ali it's such a difficult deal to do for a Premier League club or another European Club simply because of the wages he's on okay very very briefly just five seconds from you each Ivan Tony to Chelsea yes or no no no categorical dsh oh I don't want to say um predictions it's um give me another one no we hav't got time we have not got time I have to leave it there Michael doas thank you very much indeed it's all set for deadline date itself don't forget that it is from 7 uh on Sky Sports News all the way through to 11:00 p.m. the deadline and Beyond and of course soccer special follows besite on us in the game stay tuned for that [Music]
