Real are stacked at WF and buying Bellingham plus a striker, probably rotation striker with Benzema.

Wouldn't shock me if they really did want Richarlison. Ancelotti and the Brazil guys love him.
Real Madrid have the following WF;
Vinicius, Rodrygo, Hazard, Asensio and Endrick; of which Asensio is leaving, Endrick is not joining them until July 2024 and Real M. are pushing hard to get rid of Hazard (who's reluctant to leave despite of hardly playing), so they would need another WF.

Ancelotti has worked with Richarlison at Everton and I would not be surprised if the Brazilian contingent has recommended him.

They have a guys called Mariano as well. never seen him play.

Valverde plays as a forward sometimes as well.

But yes, could def see Richy as a serious target for Real.
 




A lot to like about this 24-year-old Nigerian international. Excellent dribbler, lightning quick, good first touch and left foot etc.

I really like his profile. He is a fantastic dribbler, very quick and of course is a left footed RW which seems to be getting more rare. But he has a big inconsistency problem. He shows up in big games and doesn’t in smaller games. Maybe he needs the right coach

I’d do a straight swap with Lo Celso maximum, don’t think he is worth adding cash to the deal
 

Tottenham could sign Arda Guler for just £4.3m​

Guler, still only 17, has been incredible for Fenerbahce.

The talented attacking midfielder has three goals and an assist to his name in just three starts in all competitions this season. He’s a fine talent, but Fenerbahce run the risk of losing him for a very small fee if they’re not careful.

Journalist Valter De Maggio revealed on Radio Goal that Napoli, Tottenham and Paris Saint-Germain are all interested in signing young Guler – who has a ‘variable release clause’ inserted in his contract.

The young Turk will apparently be available for just £4.3 million if he plays less than 1,500 minutes of football. However, if he’s on the pitch for more than that period of time, the clause will shoot up to £17.3 million.

De Maggio said, as translated by Area Napoli: “Guler is an interesting player, he is doing very well and he is also followed by Cristiano Giuntoli, now I’ll add more details. About the player There are two other top clubs: PSG and Tottenham. He was also proposed to Napoli in the past.”

“A variable release clause hangs over the player. If he plays up to 1,500 minutes with Fenerbahce, the clause is €5 million, If he exceeds 1,500 minutes, it rises to €20 million. Reflections are underway at Napoli.”

At the time of writing, Guler has played 303 minutes in all competitions this season and just 676 minutes of senior football in total for Fenerbahce since he made his debut.

Compared to Messi, De Bruyne and Ozil​

Having played just over 11 hours of senior football in his professional career, not much is known about young Guler to fans outside the Turkish Super Lig.

Scouting website Foot the Ball published a detailed report on the teenager earlier this year.

The outlet claims that Guler has often been dubbed as the ‘Turkish Lionel Messi.’ They then compared his ‘pinpoint and unpredictable’ crossing to that of Kevin De Bruyne and Mesut Ozil.

Guler is yet to set the stage on fire, but if people in his country think he’s the next Messi, he must be special.

Guler has earned rave reviews from team-mates and opposition managers this season for his performances, and is rated as one of the brightest young talents in world football. He has been referred to as the 'Turkish Lionel Messi' (via football.london).
And former Woolwich and Fenerbahce star Mesut Ozil, who played alongside Guler for the Turkish club, made his thoughts clear on the 18-year-old: "Quality. You will be a world star."
He has also been praised by Italy, Juventus and AC Milan icon Andrea Pirlo, who was in charge of Fatih Karagumruk this season prior to his departure earlier this month.
Guler grabbed a decisive assist in Fenerbahce's 2-1 away win over Pirlo's side in April.
The previous month, the Italian admitted to Hurriyet: "Arda Guler is a very talented player. He has the potential to play anywhere in the world. He has quality, he can read the game well, and he has great technique. If he keeps developing his game, there is no limit to his potential."

Almost certainly a leak to shake out bigger bidders and we have no chance. If we do have a chance and it's now or never get this done. Generational talent in Turkey.

Not strong enough yet to play through the middle so could play off the right. Usually I'd be repeating the frustrations about signings with no DOF or Coach, this one is different. Just sign this kid if you can.

4.3M even 17M quotes seems like a risk worth taking. Who is his agent? One of the companies that won’t deal with Levy?
