Player Valuation

Even though the signing of Alessandro Bastoni by Barcelona initially seemed quite difficult, the Italian’s defender arrival could now be edging closer, as Inter Milan are reportedly interested in including Héctor Fort as part of the deal. Following the departure of Iñigo Martínez, Barcelona have faced serious defensive issues, which ultimately led to their Champions League elimination. As a result, Alessandro Bastoni emerged as an ideal solution, as he is reportedly looking to leave Inter Milan. While his arrival initially appeared complicated, both clubs have reportedly found a potential solution, with the Nerazzurri showing interest in Héctor Fort as part of the deal. According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Inter Milan are open to the departure of Alessandro Bastoni in the summer of 2026. Despite being a cornerstone of the team, they are aware of the Italian’s interest in moving to Barcelona, valuing his transfer at €70M (around $82M). However, the Spanish side is reportedly aiming for a deal in the €50–60M range (around $58–70M). As things stand, both parties appear to be moving toward a compromise. In an effort to reinforce their defensive line, the Nerazzurri are interested in signing Héctor Fort, a Barcelona full-back currently on loan at Elche CF. With this in mind, the Blaugrana could be open to including him in a deal for Bastoni, reducing the overall transfer package, according to Matteo Moretto. Valued at €12M on Transfermarkt, the Spanish full-back could bring the operation down to the €50–60M range that they are looking to pay. Following his red card with Italy national football team in the last match, Alessandro Bastoni does not appear fully comfortable. Ahead of the next game against Cagliari Calcio, head coach Cristian Chivu acknowledged that the defender is not at his best, both physically and mentally, ruling him out. As a result, he could push the Italian side for a move to Barcelona, potentially forcing a reduction in his transfer fee in the summer of 2026. Alessandro Bastoni of Inter Milan runs with the ball during the UEFA Champions League. Barcelona reportedly add Luka Vušković as backup to Bastoni deal Throughout the 2025–26 season, Barcelona have kept Alessandro Bastoni as their top priority, as his profile is highly valued by sporting director Deco and head coach Hansi Flick. However, his signing could prove quite complex, as Inter Milan maintain a very high valuation. As a result, the Blaugrana have reportedly also turned their attention to Luka Vušković, who has impressed at Hamburger SV. According to Gabriel Sans, via Mundo Deportivo, the Blaugrana are closely monitoring Luka Vušković. Despite being under contract with Tottenham Hotspur until 2030, the Croatian is not keen on playing for the English side and is seeking a move following his loan spell at Hamburger SV. Should they end up being relegated, the defender could push even harder for an exit, with FC Barcelona interested in securing his arrival. After impressing at Hamburger SV, Luka Vušković has seen his valuation rise to €60M (around $70M) on Transfermarkt, and it could climb even higher, as Tottenham are keen to keep him. However, his agent, Pini Zahavi, has a close relationship with Barcelona president Joan Laporta, which could facilitate a move by putting pressure on the English side to negotiate his sale.

Jonny Pringle joins James to discuss all things Manchester City and their FPL assets as they bid for a fifth successive Premier League title. But there's a growing number of neutrals who think this might not be their season. Obviously Erling Haaland is covered, Jonny's initial reaction to the 15.0 price was to consider going without, but following the weekend pre-season hat-trick against GW1 opponents Chelsea how does he feel now? There's debate on Kevin De Bruyne versus Phil Foden at 9.5, the exciting emergence of 5.0 Oscar Bobb and his likely minutes, whether Josko Gvardiol is an auto pick at 6.0 and if there are preferences or desires across the players priced at 5.5 in defence and 6.5 midfield. Plus, will the departing Julian Alvarez be replaced, if Ederson is expected to stay and if City may remain surprisingly quiet during this transfer window despite some feeling a refresh is required.

Jude Bellingham can currently introduce himself the another most high-end Footballer in the planet. Thanks to an expansion in his Estimated Transfer Value( ETV), the Real Madrid midfielder is currently worth€ 135 million. He has bettered Kylian Mbappe and currently just has Erling Haaland ahead of him. Bellingham transferred from Borussia Dortmund to Real Madrid last summer for a price tag of€ 103m. With his scores in both LaLiga and the Champions League, the English National team has earlier proven his value to Los Blancos. In LaLiga, Bellingham has 12 goals and two assists after 14 matches. He has also been historic in the group standings of the Champions League. The midfielder has formed four goals and delivered another two assists in four matches. With his scoring capability, he's one of the biggest exposures of this season. Bellingham surpasses Mbappe His excellent form in the Real Madrid shirt have an effect on his ETV. When he transferred from Dortmund to the Santiago Bernabéu last summer, he was worth€ 110m. That volume has risen smartly in recent months, touching a record high of€ 135m this month. With his current value, Bellingham has stormed past Kylian Mbappe. The Paris Saint- Germain striker saw his price drop this month from€ 136m to€ 133m. This striking weakening can not be unlinked from Mbappe's ending contract. PSG have consequently far crashed to extend his deal, and he can move on a free transfer after thisseason., which inherently does not advantage his ETV. Erling Haaland tops the list Mbappe has currently been caught up by Bellingham, who in turn has to allow only Erling Haaland in ahead of him. Manchester City's Norwegian striker still has the top ETV of any Footballer in the world. exactly like last month, his value has been settled at€144.2m. Haaland bring City' only'€ 60m in the summer of 2022 due to a clause in his contract with Dortmund. now his worth is slightly below that. The top three most high-end footballers in the world stand head and shoulders above the rest. Harry Kane is ranked four in the list at quite a distance with an ETV of€108.5 m. The Bayern Munich striker remains just front of his countryman Bukayo Saka. The gunner forward has a worth of€104.5m price tag. How PSG Champions League elimination will impact Mbappe's Real Madrid call With PSG on the point of group- stage elimination, French news media has cast about to worry that Kylian Mbappe's tomorrow isn't tied to the Champions League. The Frenchman has still not made a decision on his PSG future despite January being only a many weeks down. In the forthcoming transfer window, Mbappe will be free to negotiate with any interested club as his contract expires in the summer. PSG naturally want to tie their star man down, while Real Madrid still want to grab him, especially after steadfastly defying the temptation to shell out on him during his brief exile in the summer. In recent months, media reports have claimed that Mbappe will not make a decision on a implicit move to Real Madrid until the spring of 2024, commodity that Los Blancos are said to not be happy with as they want to resolve the matter in January. The pivotal issue for Mbappe, according to these reports, would be PSG's performance in the titleholdersLeague.However, it would increase their chances of keeping the 24- year-old, If the Parisians were to do well. Were they to crash out at an early stage, he'd depart. Now, still, the tune is changing. Ahead of PSG's potentially season- defining clash with Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League,L'Equipe is stressing that Mbappe's future doesn't depend on the Ligue 1 side's performance in Europe. Indeed if they were to crash out in the group stage by failing to beat Dortmund, Mbappe could stay. The French outlet asserts that it's further about' the design' than immediate results forMbappe.However, the megastar could yet again rebuff Real Madrid- and this time for good because his French club are trying to tie him down long- term, If PSG can move him that they're going in the right direction. The report claims that rather than signing yet another two- year contract, Mbappe could instead pen a lengthy deal with PSG, likely dashing any possibilities Real Madrid had of signing him for the foreseeable future, or maybe ever as Florentino Perez and company will simply move on from him. There's a possibility that 2024 is the last chance Los Blancos will have of welcoming Mbappe.

On the first of three Clash of the Correspondents during this International break James is joined by Newcastle fan Simon Bibby and Crystal Palace fan Ruaidhri McLaughlin-Dowd to discuss the latest at their clubs ahead of the GW9 meeting between the two at James' Park. Ten points from the last 4 in the league from the Toon Army which included five consecutive clean sheets across three competitions, there's been a 4-1 beating of PSG in the Champions League and an 8-0 away win at Sheffield United and it's meant FPL assets, particularly defensively are of interest. But it's Palace who current have the highest scoring goalkeeper in FPL (Sam Johnstone) and the highest scoring defender (Joachim Andersen!). And despite a growing and concerning injury list The Eagles find themselves only 1 point behind Newcastle in the table. Is Kieran Trippier worth the 2 million or so more than the other Newcastle defenders in FPL? And if not who is the best from the cheaper assets? Does Marc Guehi at 0.4 cheaper than teammate Andersen worth consideration now The Dane is approaching the 5.0 mark? Plus, can Callum Wilson or Alexander Isak be invested in despite injury and rotation concerns? How much should Fantasy managers be considering Anthony Gordon and can Palace find the way to goal with Michael Olise still unavailable and talisman Ebe Eze now sidelined? ...and does this have the potential to be last on Match of the Day.... again?
