Welcome to Tuesday’s dose of the latest and sometimes wildest Premier League transfer rumours that we’ve caught washing around the internet – and we start today with news of a three-way transfer tussle that’s allegedly about to erupt over free agent defender Mario Hermoso.
The five-cap Spain international has spent the last five years as an important member of Diego Simeone’s squad at Atlético Madrid but has let his contract run down in order to seek pastures new – and while Aston Villa had already been linked with him, Sport Witness now believe that they face competition from both Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur.
Napoli are also interested in signing him, meanwhile, and have been in “direct contact” with the 29-year-old, who made 174 appearances for Atléti before deciding to move on. Apparently Chelsea and Villa have both made “timid” approaches to the player, while Spurs’ interest remains “dormant” – but with Napoli looking to jettison players before they make new signings, there is time for any of them to swoop in and disrupt his Serie A move.
Thousands swear by the productivity routine in The 3-Minute Rule book. I gave it a go to see what all the fuss was about.
The 3AM Verdict:
Given that he’s experienced, extremely capable, covers both centre-half and left-back and wouldn’t cost a penny, we’re surprised that we haven’t heard about more clubs looking into Hermoso. He’s an excellent technician and calm under pressure, which makes him ideal for teams that want to play around the high press and also a good passer who gets the ball forward quickly and accurately, which suits sides who play a strong tempo. Really, these are three teams who should get a move on before Napoli get it over the line.
One of the more unlikely Barcelona players of recent years, 33-year-old Denmark forward Martin Braithwaite, could well be on the move this summer despite earning promotion to La Liga with Espanyol last season – at least, according to TeamTalk, who claim that he has a clause in his contract allowing him to leave the Catalan club for free.
Apparently, his representatives have already been in touch with Everton about bringing the veteran forward back to England, five years after he played for Middlesbrough. Perhaps optimistically, they have also been on the phone to Chelsea, too. According to the article, the Toffees are more interested in signing Armando Broja or Elijah Adebayo, but if Dominic Calvert-Lewin leaves then things could change quickly.
