European football transfers: Know what's happening
Even though European clubs are involved in their pre-season tours, the transfer market is in full swing. Will Chelsea's Olivier Giroud end up with Atletico Madrid? Has Russia's World Cup star Golovin agreed terms with Chelsea? Leicester City, meanwhile, have rejected a bid for Ahmed Musa. The transfer market is taking a crazy ride and here are the updates.
Foxes reject bid for World Cup star Musa
2015-16 Premier League champions, Leicester City, have rejected a bid of £12 mn for mid-fielder Ahmed Musa. Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr made a stunning bid for the EPL star, who had a stellar campaign at the FIFA World Cup 2018. Turkish club Galatasaray are also interested in the player. But the Foxes are unlikely to let go their 25-year-old star.
Leicester sign goal-keeper Ward from Liverpool
Liverpool sold their third choice keeper Danny Ward to Leicester for £12.5 mn in a four-year deal. The Wales International will provide competition to first choice keeper Kasper Schmeichel of Foxes. He could also become the number one if the Kasper leaves Leicester.
Atletico in for a stunning move for Giroud
FIFA World Cup 2018 winner with France- Olivier Giroud is being lined up by Atletico Madrid for a shock loan move. The former Arsenal man joined Chelsea in January this year and scored thrice in 13 appearances. He won the FA Cup with Chelsea. With manager Maurizio Sarri wanting Gonzalo Higuain at Chelsea, Frenchman Giroud could be loaded off, with Atletico being the favorites.
Is Golovin moving to Chelsea?
Is 22-year-old Golovin joining Chelsea? Well his CSKA Moscow team-mate Sergey Chepchugov thinks so and has already wished the player all the best. Chepchugov shared the same on Instagram. The mid-fielder could be the 2nd addition for the Blues this summer after Jorginho. The Russian star at the World Cup could add more options and depth in a loaded Chelsea mid-field.
