A deal with liverpool had also been agreed for very close to that amount, but the ecuadorian had always fancied a move to stamford bridge. that was his preference. and after having a number of offers knocked back, the blues have secured the services of the 21 year old midfielder. he is their eighth signing of the summer transfer window. staying with big transfers, the saudi pro league has pulled off another coup. the brazilian forward neymar looks to be on his way to al hilal for 90 million euros from paris saint germain. his wages at the moment, about 25 million euros a year in france. if hejoins the pro league, he will make six times that, about 150 million. patrick geary reports. neymar. they re walking their way through. neymar! there are few players on earth who could do that in a world cup quarter final, but neymar has always stood out. footballer, symbol, brand, and now the latest

The british transfer record. that face belongs to moises caicedo. liverpool have had an £111 million bid accepted for the ecuador midfielder and caicedo s manager is moving on already. i would like to transfer only one time. i ve already forgotten moises. i m really proud for the player we have in the squad. caicedo s departure from the amex to anfield might not be as cut and dried as de zerbi suggests. chelsea have long had an interest in the midfielder, and it s thought caicedo s preference would be to move to stamford bridge. but chelsea would have to match liverpool s bid for someone that cost brighton only 4 million two years ago. mauricio pochettino didn t commit to anything today, butjurgen klopp did both to the fact his club have had an offer accepted and also that he might have spoken a little too soon when he questioned in 2016 teams spending
