Introduction to Expiring Contracts in European Leagues
00:00:02
Speaker
Welcome to the Italian football podcast. Looking ahead to this summer, NIMA, we're now in March, so we are April, May, June. We're just over less than four months away now from the expiration of all players whose contracts are running out at the end of the season.
Serie A Players' Contract Expirations
00:00:27
Speaker
is there's a lot of talented players who are going to be available on free transfers at the end of this June, July. So what I wanted to do is I just wanted to read out some of the players from Europe's major five leagues because
00:00:46
Speaker
there is players that Serie A clubs can look at this summer. First of all, I will run down the players in the best players from Serie A, just so we know who is about to leave.
00:01:00
Speaker
Adrian Rabio from Juventus, his contract is about to expire. He's going to wait a few months before, till the end of the season before deciding to do whether to sign another renewal, one year renewal he did last summer or whether to leave. Piotr Zilinski at Napoli, we know that's basically a done deal. He's going to be joining in on a free chance. So then we've got Deji Kamada. I'm sure he's got like an option, like Latu have an option, no?
00:01:27
Speaker
It's not, they didn't decide. He has an option. Yeah. Kamada has an option and he's not going to, he's not going to activate that because he never plays. Well, I mean, it depends on who comes in, isn't it? I mean, if Sari leaves. Well, I think someone else comes in and can really convince him maybe, but I don't know.
Kamada & Anderson's Future Moves
00:01:42
Speaker
Cause this guy, if Kansi Sao comes in with Kamada there.
00:01:46
Speaker
Well, he'll take some convincing, I think, in the way that he's been treated. I don't think he's very, he's very happy at all, the way that he's been treated this year. Felipe Anderson, he's going to leave Lazio. Alex, definitely. Christian Kwame, the African champion, is... He's the actual African. Not his teammate, Coyote.
00:02:09
Speaker
Kwame, he's expiring. They probably have to get rid of him finally now. Martin de Rona at Atlanta, watch that space. I wouldn't surprise him if he ends up renewing. We've got Spin at Sola, Rui Patricio at Roma, then a bunch of interplays. Sensi, Collasen, Cuadrado, Alexis Sanchez, I think they would all leave.
00:02:30
Speaker
only except for Sanchez who's there's talk of extending that they need to need to have five strikers next season. Of course. Castravilli, Fiorencina. I mean, he's broken. It's sad. Very sad with him. Luca Jovic, Olivier. Again, another talented Italian player that has, I mean, it's just new.
00:02:49
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, see monkey and Milan Macatarian into as well. He might end up staying on the key time has extended. Oh, is it? Is that? Yeah, it's official. He's extended. He's officially extended. Okay,
La Liga's Potential Free Agents to Serie A
00:03:00
Speaker
right. I need to update that Danieli Rugani Bonaventura Nanda's a calorie Pablo Marie Galliadini Monza.
00:03:08
Speaker
But Muriel's gone as well. Yeah, Muriel's gone. Hatapoa and Aleksandro finally will leave Juventus. So those are the Serie
Premier League Expiring Contracts & Serie A Fit
00:03:18
Speaker
A ones. So there's a few players. Most of them are older players. La Liga is the place to go for free transfers though this summer. Let me read out the list here. It's insane.
00:03:29
Speaker
Mario Himozo, Atletico, Guido Rodriguez Betis, Tony Cruz, Real Madrid, Coque, Atletico, Alex Bellinga, Atletico, Bertrand Traore, Villareal, Modric, Madrid, Miranda Betis, Munayin, Atletico, Oliver Torres, Lamella, Sevilla,
00:03:45
Speaker
Lucas Vasquez, Real Madrid, Stefan Savage, Cesar Aspilicueta, Atletico, Nacho, Real Madrid, Axel Vitzo, Atletico, Turgini Roberto, Barcelona, Sergio Ramos, Jesus Navas, Sevilla, Marco Solonzo, Barcelona. I mean, as always with Real Madrid, Modric and Cruz will decide, like basically at the end of the season, as they always do, and it's a chance that Cruz might actually retire.
00:04:11
Speaker
and but otherwise the other all the others are i mean they're there they're there they're ready for offers um so there's some good players there i think yeah some of these i think will end up in could potentially end up in seria i think so as well i'm looking at someone like savage i'm looking at someone like amosa definitely more so yeah yeah um maybe modrich
Luka Modric's Serie A Prospects
00:04:34
Speaker
May be moderate I think you there would wouldn't mind having it go to America or to the Middle East. Yeah, I think so. I did. But then again, he wants to remind me, he wouldn't surprise me. I think this will be his last year at Madrid, though. I think he I think this will be when I wouldn't be surprised if you ever went in from Madrid.
00:04:55
Speaker
At his age, I don't know. He's unbelievable. He's still been fantastic. He's still fantastic, but yeah, I don't know. It'd be great to see him finally in Serie A. He grew up loving Serie A. This is why I think as well, I think he would love to go to Serie A. And also the kind of... When you sign a campione like Modric, even if he's not performing as good as he used to a few years ago, just his presence in a dressing room,
00:05:23
Speaker
elevates the quality of training and concentration of everyone around them. And Modrich is a model professional. So I wouldn't discount the impact that could have.
Defenders Considering Serie A Moves
00:05:37
Speaker
to be honest, regardless of who he joins. Yeah, I would be surprised, but you know, it'd be great to see. So yeah, those are the legal ones. Now I'll go through the Premier League ones. Not as impressive Premier League this year as in past years. There are two players there that I'm at for three players. Let me read them out. Josh Brown, Will Burnley, Lloyd Kelly, Bournemouth, a lot of them. Marcialle, Manny Knight, he'll definitely leave 100%. Georgina Arsenal, that one's up in the air, could go either way.
00:06:05
Speaker
Tete Fulham, Andre Gomez Everton, Joel Matip at Liverpool, Adara Baiol at Fulham, Tiago Alcantara at Liverpool, Lasselles at Newcastle, Kufal, Michael Antonio at West Ham.
00:06:20
Speaker
And maybe Antonia can join Scamaco. Well, back at Brighton. El Nene asked, no Suarez asked, no Deliali. Is he still alive? Everton, William Fulham, Jonny Evans and Rafael Varan. Varan, Varan, Varan. I don't care what anyone says. That is a quality defender. That took on, though. I don't think he is. His knees are gone. Yeah.
00:06:49
Speaker
I don't know. The thing with Riveran is he's going to ask for a massive salary and I just think he's broken physically. I just think it's another, you're just risking another Pogba with him. It's just like, what's the point? I mean, who's going to take him on the salary that he wants only probably Juventus, Inter or
00:07:11
Speaker
or maybe Milan could probably afford his salary. Well, you even need defenders. He's absolutely what Juventus should not be signing, given everything that's gone on with Pogba. I don't look at this anywhere near him. That would be a huge mistake. And he also hasn't paid well for a few years as well. I think he's someone to stay away from.
00:07:31
Speaker
Unless he asks for a really small salary, then he goes to a team like Roma or a team that level. But I don't know if he would drop to that level. We'll see.
Jorginho & Martial's Serie A Potential
00:07:42
Speaker
But Tiago Alcantara, Antonio Martial, Jorginho. I mean, I'm looking at Jorginho and I'm thinking, Sarri Jorginho to Milan. If Jorginho doesn't sign that new contract at Arsenal, 100% he'll come back to Serie A. I'm certain of that.
00:08:00
Speaker
I'm certain of that. I would love to see Sarri and Giorginio reunited at Milan. It would be very interesting to see what he can do. I think Giorginio still has football in him. I think this notion that he's finished is ridiculous. He's had a good season. He's been played selectively.
00:08:25
Speaker
by Mikolata, which I'm actually happy with, actually, because I think it means he'll go into the Euros very fresh. Fit. Yeah, fit and fresh. He's been playing like one every three or four games. He's been playing enough to stay fit. And he's played well. He played well. He's fantastic against Liverpool recently. He run the game. He was actually, I think he was a man of the match. He has quality and he is a quality player. And Sarri, those two together,
00:08:49
Speaker
No, for sure. And Tiago Alcantara, I mean, we're talking about broken bodies. Oh, God, he hasn't even played this season. Yeah, I mean, it's, yeah. Yeah, no, look, for me, Varan, I mean, if you have a proper medical, and for me, that's the player, I love Varan. Would you go anywhere near Marcial? Or would you just write him off?
00:09:11
Speaker
He's still young. He's only 28. He's not old. And he's really not old. And that's what I'm thinking, is that he outside should be looking at him. Because I think he does have something to offer.
00:09:25
Speaker
I think if he used properly he does so he needs a rehabilitator of a coach I think if he has someone that can rehabilitate him maybe greed and I don't know who that would be but yeah he's on a big salary at Milan you know someone like that
00:09:44
Speaker
Again, big salary as well, so he's going to have to accept a much reduced salary if he's going to... Inter have been linked with him quite a lot though, haven't they? Yeah, in the past when Antonio Conte was there, but luckily he's not anymore. So, no, I don't see Inter going after him, especially now with Taremi deal wrapped up.
Inter Milan's Attacking Strategy
00:10:04
Speaker
I mean, okay, if Taremi has some sort of a
00:10:06
Speaker
I don't know, ACL or career ending injury, then okay. Yeah. But before, before June, but if not, then, then I, I don't think Inter are looking at, I would prefer if they could find a way to get rid of Alexei Sanchez and, and, and maybe get Marzia to accept some sort of a lower country, you know, offer then. Yeah. I mean, look, an attack of Marzia, Tarimi, Turam, Lautaro, Arnautovic, that's, that's a good attack.
00:10:35
Speaker
Yeah.
Bundesliga Stars Eyeing Serie A
00:10:36
Speaker
Yeah, no, that's fair enough. Okay, I'll just weed through the best of the Bundesliga now. Mariusz Wolff, Marco Reusz, Mats Hummels, Oliver Isidormund, Eric Maxim, Chupo Mötting at Bayern, Colin Castilles at Wolfsburg, Stefan Leine at Munchingladbach. I mean, these are some of the best. I mean, there's not... Reusz, Reusz is an interesting one. What does he do? Does someone take a chance on him now, like in the Serie A? It would be interesting to see. He's 34, 13 in 35.
00:11:04
Speaker
But remember when a bintry cried to Latzy for a few years? Yeah, Latzy's always been that, but think about it, if he goes to a Latzy or something.
00:11:15
Speaker
like the way yeah he could be like a ribbery type kind of you know come in and be really exciting and and you know same thing with hummus i mean hummus is not broken but he's old but yeah does he have something to offer i mean i've i've always rated in seria he probably would be suited yeah in seria and those are the ones i'm looking at i think he had a right he rolled back the years in um in the group stage in the game against melange remember that the game is sincerely unbelievable unbelievable in in that game so is is um
Mbappe's Rumored Move to Real Madrid
00:11:45
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Okay. And, uh, Liga, Liga, best ones, right? We all know who the number one is. He's the number one Boswell player for the whole summer. That's Keeling Mbappe. He's going to be going to Real Madrid now. Finally. I think everybody knows that now. I can't wait for that to be over. Like I am so done with that. How many years? Four years. The team M-up in nonsense is exhausting. Yeah. Like it is. It's just finally it's over. Yeah.
00:12:15
Speaker
most annoying transfer rumor of all time. Just non-stop, just back and forth, and that idiot, what's his name, getting involved too, and claiming responsibility for him staying at PSG, what's his name? Macron, getting seen. Oh, Macron, no. No, I got involved. I mean, it's just, it's just, it's become- They went to dinner with him, didn't they? Oh my God, it's me, please make it go away.
00:12:37
Speaker
And finally, just join Real Madrid for the love of God and be done with it.
Ligue 1 Transfers to Serie A & Beyond
00:12:42
Speaker
That will happen now, I'm pretty sure of that. Unless he gets kidnapped again by the cheap kidnapper.
00:12:52
Speaker
With Ben Edda, Monaco, Papaguet, Guay, at Marseille, Youssouff-Yasichi at Lille and then three PSG players, Keylor Navas, Lavin Kuzawa and Sergio Rico. So other than Mbappe, yeah. Keylor Navas I think could end up in this area.
00:13:12
Speaker
in a mid-table side as a goalkeeper. Yeah, it could be. It could be like an Ochoa or someone like that. Exactly. That's what I'm thinking. That's what I'm thinking. Yeah, no, it's interesting. It's interesting. Yeah, so I'm pretty sure there are players here from here that will be in Serie A because we know, obviously, the finances of Serie A clubs are not what they used to be.
