Yep. It's another reason why they'll stretch it until deadline day imo. They'll want both to help them qualify for the conference league proper before selling.

Do they not have to name their squad for the competition ahead of it starting? That would mean they need to get these deals done quickly.
-
Hmm yes maybe. But they might not care? Also wonder if squads between qualifying round and full competition proper can be revised. Expect so.
-
There will be some rules about at least squad substitution until the deadline. Presumably not even UEFA/FIFA are sufficiently dim to insist that teams global climate change league squads include players not contracted to them, and for whom they don't hold the registration, nor ban superstars who have changed clubs contributing to their national league smashing conspiracy?
-
Miguel to Palmeiras confirmed by the club.
-
Yeah. They've probably missed that email though.
-
Romano gives Luiz the 'very nearly' HWG.
-
He feels like the biggest gamble to me. Given his age his resale value is minimal. So he needs to perform.
-
He's probably also the only one who's proven as a top quality premier league player.
-
And in his prime, but because of one year at Juventus we're getting him at a discount.
-
Rumour I saw this morning is that we're paying 35M for him. But he's 27, so in his prime.
Our midfield is stacked, we'll have Sangare / Anderson / Dominguez / Yates / Luiz competing for two places. I wouldn't be surprised to see us sell one of Sangare and Dominguez before the end of the month.
-
I hope it isn't Sangare. Feels like we're finally getting the payout from persevering with him the last two seasons. He's been looking great.
-
This is the engine room of the team. I would say the critical area for a team looking to be top 6 and we will need 4 quality players available to play twice a week. If you want to say goodbye to Ryan then that's a decision but he wouldn't bring in a massive fee and he gives us a lot off the pitch.
-
If we go deep into the Europa then it’s a lot of games and travel, we will need this depth of quality. There’s bound to be injuries along the way too.
-
Agree with this. With Sangare getting up to speed, this is starting to feel more like the sort of midfield options we need with midweek games, not an area to trim.
-
I didn't say anything about Yates. Nuno clearly likes his ability to disrupt opponents when we're closing matches out, and he's the club captain who clearly loves being here. As I said, I think Sangare or Dominguez are the ones we'd listen to offers for, and both would probably attract strong money.
