Mario Mandzukic has joined Qatari team Al Duhail. No price I can find.

What a shameful way for his time at Juve to end. Good luck to big Mario, get that money, don't have a heat stroke.

Reports today are that Juve have agreed to outbid everybody else with respect to agent's fees to Raiola for a Haaland transfer, and that he'll be joining in January. At least he has a release clause, so the transfer fee to Salzburg would be fixed at €30m.

but to have a striker backup to Ron, Gonz and Paulo in the form of fuckin Haaland, that’s not bad.

That role could've been performed quite well by Mandzukic!

French newspapers are saying that Rabiot is trying to force a transfer in January because he's not getting enough minutes. Arsenal have been mentioned as the destination.

Perin back to Genoa (on loan, I imagine permanent at the end). Bad for Juve, as they’ll need a new backup keeper after this year but good for him as he’s too good to be a backup.

Buffon has been indicating that he may stick around another year, so my guess for now is that it'll still be him.

In any event Perin is a good lad (who also got married this weekend) and hopefully he'll stay healthy and find a good permanent situation.

Di Marzio just reported that Juve are about to finalize a deal with Atalanta for Kulusevski, which would leave him on loan at Parma for the rest of the year. Would love to see that happen. I guess they just took the money that was set aside for Haaland and went right onto the next target.

Kulusevski owns, he'd definitely get a shot next year if this goes through. And if it means clearing out Bernardesci too, so much the better.

Are Salzburg that dominant in their own league? After selling Haaland and Minamino, I'd avoid selling Hwang Hee-Chan until at least next summer.

They might not have a choice of these other clubs are just activating release clauses (and the players all choose to leave).

I've said it before but the thing to understand about Can (at least at Liverpool, I haven't seen him since he went to Juve) is that he has unshakable self-confidence and believes he's an amazing footballer, but he isn't. So he'll try dribbling around ten players and lose the ball, he'll try ambitious 50-yard through passes that go straight out of play, and he'll take ten long shots a game that fly into the stands. But like once every few games one of those things works and he looks like a top top top player for five seconds. You could make a great highlight reel of Can's occasional best moments, but actually watching him for a full game 90% of what he does is lose the ball and foul people.

That's Emre Can alright

Di Marzio says that Juve and Barca are working on a swap deal, Rakitic for Bernardeschi. First, my impression is that Rakitic hasn't been good for a while, so that's less than inspiring. Second, my brain can't fathom Bernardeschi at Barcelona, it's just very bizarre.
