Matteo Moretto gives Football España exclusive information on the latest business dominating the newspapers in Spain, as revealed in Daily Briefing by Fabrizio Romano.
Sevilla central defender Loic Bade has just renewed his contract because the player really wanted to stay in Sevilla, despite offers from Italy and France. It may seem simple to say, but the fact that he renewed does not mean that he will stay at 100%.
In any case, Bade's wishes and what he wants to do will be decisive, and he should reiterate that he is doing well in Sevilla and feels good here. At the moment, I am not aware of any iinterest from Liverpool in Bade, despite ties this week.
Tottenham and Manchester United had asked about the possible terms of a move for Barcelona midfielder Fermin Lopez, who enjoyed a brilliant summer, winning Euro 2024 with Spain, and then playing a key role in their triumph at the Olympics. His goals from midfield have seen his stature grow in recent months.
But it's a move that never got hot because Barcelona and Fermin didn't want to know anything about a potential deal. Fermin wants to stay at the club, and Barcelona are looking for a potential contract renewal for him. For Barcelona, it is a key piece for their future.
The goalkeeper of Real Madrid and Ukraine Andriy Lunin had all agreed to renew his agreement already in March or April, bearing in mind that his previous contract had ended next summer in 2025, and he could achieve his agreement . Then Thibaut Courtois returned to fitness, and Carlo Ancelotti returned him to the starting team as soon as he was ready.
Let's say he wanted to be 100% sure whether to sign a new deal or not because his priority was to play football regularly. After some reflection, Lunin decided to extend his contract and stay, knowing that he would have to compete for a starting place with Courtois. If an important team comes with an offer in the upcoming transfer markets, and the player asks the club to evaluate that offer, then Real Madrid will consider it. If Lunin doesn't ask that they watch, then they won't.
Matteo Moretto will be back with more transfer news in the coming days, providing exclusive information on the biggest stories in Spain and Italy.
