The appointment of Fabian Hürzeler is bold, absolutely.
Of course there are risks but that’s Brighton’s style, going for talented and young people. I think it’s a good idea to follow their plans, their style.
Hürzeler did very well at St Pauli so he has all the potential and potential to shine in the Premier League as well.
It will take patience, of course.
Álvaro Morata would like to return to Italian football, of course. Nothing is happening now because he is focused on the Euros, but there could be a move between July and August when Serie A could be there if there are proposals.
He is open to leaving Atlético Madrid because they are already in talks for other strikers, Artem Dovbyk being one of them.
Sticking to La Liga, I am not aware of any request from Newcastle for Barcelona’s Ferran Torres, despite the reports.
He is happy in Barcelona, not in talks with any club which is currently completely silent. If anything changes we will see, but at the moment there are no ongoing discussions about Torres.
The situation is similar with Nico Williams of the Athletic Club. Totally quiet for now, totally focused on the Euros. There is a release clause of around €58m, so clubs are informed.
But again, Nico is happy at Bilbao and any club should pay a big fee for the player again, in terms of the wage packet.
After the Champions League final and due to many internal problems, he decided to leave the team. Among the big favorites to be the new manager is Nuri Şahin.
I will say that almost here we will go to Olympique Marseille and Roberto De Zerbi again. There is an agreement on a three-year contract, and everything has been arranged between De Zerbi and Marseille, they are just waiting for the final details.
All that is needed now is an agreement between Marseille and Brighton.
We talked about Michael Olise in October, November, December, and in recent months he has become a target again for Chelsea and Manchester United.
Chelsea have been there and some people on the board consider Olise to be a wonderful player. That’s why Chelsea have officially approached Crystal Palace to inquire about a release clause. They want to understand how it will work.
These details are still confidential according to official documents, but Chelsea need to understand about the clause in order to get the green light to hold talks with Michael Olise and his agents over the contract.
Manchester United and Newcastle are still there and both clubs are really interested in Michael Olise.
At the moment Chelsea are still considered favorites because they know the player wants to go there, and it is up to them to agree on personal terms and agent fees.
Conor Gallagher currently does not want to decide anything now before the Euros. He wants to focus on the tournament, but Gallagher will be watching it for the next few months.
We have been repeating since February, March that Mason Greenwood’s story is over at Manchester United.
They want to sell Mason Greenwood and my information is that it would be a loan to buy, so it would be that kind of formula – a move that could have a loan to buy and not an option.
Let’s see what happens but there are many possibilities surrounding Mason Greenwood, and Man United will take time to choose the best offer.
There is interest from Juventus but they have to sell at least one attacking player before they can get a player.
Matias Soulé is attracting serious interest from West Ham and others but has yet to make an official bid, so Soulé could be someone to watch in terms of an exit.
Juventus wants around 40 million euros to allow Soulé to leave the club, so it will not be an easy negotiation between the clubs… It is an open race, but West Ham is determined.
It is also important to say that we have to follow the situation of Federico Chiesa because that is another interesting situation in this transfer window.
Nothing is imminent or developed yet, but it is normal to monitor one of the most powerful talents in Europe.
For now it is still the case, watch closely and we will see which club will “attack” the situation.
