It is rumored that Barcelona intends to introduce Chelsea striker, and the transfer fee may reach £100 million

The smoke of the summer transfer window of European football has become increasingly fierce, and the key operations of the three giants have suffered heavy losses last night.

Barcelona sports director Deco is running for the change of the front line. Barcelona has turned its attention to Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson, hoping to find reliable rotations for 36-year-old Lewandowski on loan. However, Chelsea's response was as tough as iron: they marked the Senegalese scorer an astonishing 100 million pounds, an buyout price of about 118 million euros, and even on loans, they were asked to be 50 million euros, intending to scare away all chasers with a sky-high threshold. Although Barcelona has a subtle advantage in negotiations due to the potential "avoiding deals with Premier League rivals", its stretched fiscal situation is almost impossible to match the Blues' asking price.

Jackson's own situation is also in jeopardy. New coach Maresca has positioned his appearance after new players Joao Pedro and Drapp. His sluggish performance in the Club World Cup has further weakened his position. If he cannot turn the situation around in the preseason, his career may face severe crisis. Among the potential homes, AC Milan believes the price is too high and has withdrawn from competition, Naples only regards it as an alternative to Liverpool striker Nunes' transfer, while Newcastle United and Aston Villa have not yet made official offers.

At the same time, Bundesliga overlord Bayern Munich fell into a midfield reinforcement dilemma due to the serious injury of core Musiara, locking Stuttgart's Waltermad as the number one target. Club senior Eber carefully planned a quotation of 40 million euros fixed transfer fee plus 5 million euros floating bonus, paid in four years, and 10 million yuan a year, trying to leverage this key player. However, Stuttgart's attitude was firm and refused the offer without hesitation. The dark horse team last season adhered to the bottom line of 80 million euros, believing that Bayern's proposal "lack of respect" under the market conditions where Liverpool signed Wilz for 125 million euros. Although the player himself has reached a personal agreement with Bayern and even rejected invitations from other clubs, Stuttgart's uncompromising attitude has put the deal in a deadlock.

Bayern also has some concerns, not only is he willing to break the club's strict salary structure, but also worry that paying sky-high transfer fees for Bundesliga competitors may disrupt the league's ecological balance. If the negotiations eventually break down, Bayern has turned its attention to Leverkusen's target Tilman, with a 35 million euro termination clause in its contract, or Eindhoven winger Bakayoko, a 25 million euro termination penalty as an alternative.

The most dramatic retreat occurred at Atletico Madrid. The Bedsheets Army had ambitiously planned to buy Tottenham center back Christian Romero for a quotation of 55 million euros fixed transfer fee plus 10 million euros floating terms. However, Tottenham Hotspur's position is extremely firm, demanding that the total price must reach 75 million to 80 million euros. What suffocated Atletico Madrid was Spain's strict tax policies - according to regulations, they needed to pay an additional 25% of the taxes for the transaction, which meant that actual expenditures would soar to nearly 100 million euros. Faced with such a heavy financial burden, Atletico Madrid finally had no choice but to announce that it would give up the negotiations.

Tottenham quickly consolidated the fruits of victory. Head coach Postkoglu has clearly regarded Romero as the core of the defense in the new season, and authoritative reporter Romano also confirmed that the players stayed in the team this summer is a foregone conclusion. Atletico Madrid, which was frustrated, then turned to other targets, Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams, whose contract includes a 58 million euro termination fee, became the new focus, but the addition of Barcelona and Chelsea made the battle equally fierce.

The coronavirus situation is stalemate: Barcelona is still waiting for Chelsea's possible price loosening in Jackson's trade, otherwise it will turn to alternative targets such as Rashford; Bayern Munich may raise Walter Mad's offer to 60 million euros to test Stuttgart's bottom line, whose position may change subtly; and Christian Romero's future is settled, and he has begun preparing for the new season with Tottenham.
