Some updates from Sky's Transfer Centre:

quote:

Ben Mee is to extend his stay to beyond a decade at Burnley, having signed a new deal.

His existing contract had 12 months still to run and the Clarets have today triggered a clause to keep the long-serving defender until June 2022. 




quote:

There is a broad agreement between Leicester City and James Maddison over the terms of a new four-year contract.

No paperwork has yet been signed, but it looks like Maddison will be staying at Leicester until 2024.




quote:

Sky Sports News reporter Kaveh Solhekol has provided an update on Chelsea’s pursuit of Leicester left-back Ben Chilwell.

“In the background, talks are under way and plans are being made about Chelsea’s transfer strategy this summer,” he said. “What Frank Lampard really wants is a new goalkeeper, and another left-back.

“His number one target is Ben Chilwell. The problem is he is under long-term contract at Leicester, who are under no pressure to sell.




quote:

Bayern Munich will let Thiago Alcantara leave if they receive an offer of €30m this summer. 

The Spaniard has rejected a new contract to remain at the Allianz Arena, and Bild report that the player's valuation has now dropped to £25m.

Nathan Ake's great and £41million seems a good deal for all parties.

Most of all though, I love that Pep Guardiola is signing a centre-back with as many tackles in the defensive third this season as Felipe Anderson.

Ake is a great signing that I’ve wanted for awhile. He is an above average CB and home grown. Could thrive under Pep.

Torres and Ake for a few mil more than what we sold Sane for is great business.

Stones and Otamendi are gone if we can offload them. Garcia will get a chance if he stays but lots of Barca rumors floating about. Ake will get plenty of game time especially if Laporte misses any time.

I like Ake even at 40. Provides depth at CB and LB which is needed. HG. He's pretty quick, which is lacking in our other CBs.

Must have been a ton of interest for Bournemouth to get that much. Thought it be closer to 25

Yes, I thought he would be a bit cheaper as well considering they have been relegated. That is a good chunk of change for them.

I believe Chelsea had first refusal on him, so perhaps that played into the price being driven up.

I think we did. I'm assuming that's why y'all offered so much. Probably priced us out with us still likely signing Havertz, a LB and a GK.

Yup. I read somewhere it was a 40m buyback. Makes sense why we'd offer it and just get it over with.

I was more thinking we would get one attacker, one midfielder, one defender

But Jimenez and Sancho can’t hurt
