Some transfer rumors of the day:

Bacca would prefer SerieA over EPL if he would leave Sevilla and it is said AS Roma is interested in signing him (Daily Mail)
Mirallas might leave Everton to join Monaco
Real Madrid interested in a MC: names that pop up are Biglia, Witsel and Nainggolan.
Jasper Cilissen to replace de Gea if he would leave for Real.
ManU interested in signing Lazio's Filipe Anderson (41MEuro is said)

Nice move by Inter. Any rumored fee?

No idea who the other two are, though.
Both Marseille players. Imbula is a powerful box to box midfielder while Mendy is an attacking leftback. Both exploded with Bielsa this season; Imbula was actually one of the best midfielders in the Ligue in the first half of the season. Both could turn out to be decent prospects IMO. Imbula is a box to box midfielder that is physically very strong, and he's quite a good dribbler too, he's quite similar to Yaya Toure in playing style, minus the creativity in the final third, but he's mostly similar in how he runs past defenders using his physique very well, he faded away at the end of the season though, so he's yet to have a full good season. As for Mendy, he looks very promising, the only reason more people haven't heard about him was because Amavi and Kurzawa had excellent seasons. The biggest criticism I'd have for Mendy is that he doesn't seem interested in defending, because going forward he's really good; very fast and is actually a decent crosser of the ball.

Speaking of Ligue, where's @Aush lately.

:tup: 28mln seems like a lot of cash though.

I used to watch a lot of Marseille a couple of years ago but sadly I stopped following.

I don't blame you man, the league is losing its appeal because French teams now aren't even able to keep their players from moving to leagues like the Russian, Turkish let alone the big leagues. To be honest, even I don't follow the Ligue as much as I used to, but this season has been great, the best season in ages tbh. Lyon have been a revelation, Monaco are boring but they've been very competitive in the second half of the season, Marseille have been a joy to watch with Bielsa, St. Etienne played their best football in years, then you have Sagnol's Bordeaux who also did well this season and Lille with Rene Girard (The manager who won the league with Montpellier a few years back) who played good football, and had some really interesting players.

All in all, this has been the most enjoyable Ligue season in a while tbh. But the league is fvcked so long as the tax rates remain the same in France.
