Bye X, hopefully see you one day soon

Lucas Vázquez: "Yes, Dani [Carvajal] was here 12, I think 12 or 13 years ago, and he recommended it to me because he had been very happy here, both on a sporting and personal level, and said that if I could choose this option, I shouldn't let it slip away."

Manuel Akanji was a topic, but he will NOT join Bayer Leverkusen. [@berger_pj]

🇪🇸 ¡Bienvenido Lucas! 👋 #VamosVazquez

🇪🇸 Amigos 🤝 #VamosVazquez

Comunicado Oficial.

Bayer Leverkusen's first written offer for Jonathan Clauss was €4m, the second €6.25m, but they were insufficient. A third and final verbal €7.5m offer was made to OGC Nice, but negotiations ended there - B04 spent a month trying to convince them. [Regis Testelin, @lequipe]

West Ham United have renewed their interest in Aleix García. [@NocksVon, @kicker]

📸 Lucas Vázquez at the BayArena - he'll wear number 2️⃣1️⃣ [via @667eron]

Hopefully this free transfer frees up even more money for elsewhere...

Lucas Vásquez's medical took place in the last 24 hours - everything was perfect✅ [@FabrizioRomano]

🚨Confirmed: #Akanji is the first name for #BayerLeverkusen. #MCFC asks for 18M, player asks for 6M per season. @sportmediaset

Out of absolutely nowhere

Another overview for another busy day👇 🇪🇨 Piero Hincapié: @FabrizioRomano: Spurs had a loan bid including an obligation to buy of around €60m for Piero Hincapé rejected by B04 - the player also rather wants Arsenal, B04 are fighting to keep him ℹ️ Spurs interest was denied by several English journalists @David_Ornstein/@FabrizioRomano: Arsenal want Hincapié but do not want to activate the €60m clause, are exploring different solutions @youri711: Bayer Leverkusen could agree to a loan deal with an obligation to buy for Hincapié since it would be beneficial from an accounting standpoint @Plettigoal: B04 are insisting on the €60m clause at the moment @JacobsBen: Hincapié has asked to leave for around €45m, he wants to push for a departure @kicker: the release clause is worth €65m at this point in the window - no confirmation for @JacobsBen's report above 🇨🇭 Manuel Akanji: @youri711/@FabrizioRomano: Manuel Akanji is a possible replacement for Hincapié @FabrizioRomano: ManCity accepted a £15m (~€17.5m) bid from Galatasaray, but there's no green light from the player @LianosKostas: Crystal Palace made an official bid for Akanji (£15m including bonuses) 🇦🇷 Equi Fernández: @berger_pj: €25m plus add-ons offer for Equi Fernández submitted, clubs are now discussing details, personal terms agreed @FabrizioRomano: new €30m offer for Equi Fernández, no add-ons, and 15% of the future profit from a transfer - talks ongoing, Equi wants to join @ban_hfc: Al Qadsiah are interested in signing N'Golo Kanté - possible replacement? 🇪🇸 Aleix García: @berger_pj: it's possible that Aleix García leaves if Equi is signed, there's interest from Spain and across Europe 🇫🇷 Jonathan Clauss/new right wingback: @youri711/@kicker: Jonathan Clauss deal is off due to Nice's asking price @kicker: the signing of another right wingback is imminent 🇲🇦 Eliesse Ben Seghir: @SkySportDE: agreement with the player in place, advanced negotiations with ASM @youri711: negotiations regarding a fee of around €25m are ongoing 🇧🇷 Arthur: @lequipe/@youri711: Paris FC are interested in Arthur 🤕 injury/squad updates: @youri711: Palacios, Hofmann and Tillman are expected to be in the squad against Werder Bremen on Saturday, one or two new signings could be too ♥️ Loïc Badé was at the Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium today to say goodbye to the Sevilla FC fans

CONFIRMED: Manuel Akanji could be an option for Bayer Leverkusen should Piero Hincapé leave the club. ManCity accepted a £15m (~€17.5m) bid from Galatasaray, but there's no green light from the player for that move. [@FabrizioRomano]

@bayer04Xtra @FabrizioRomano @bayer04_en That's very good value for a player of his class and experience

CONFIRMED: Arthur could still leave the club - Paris FC have expressed interest in him. [@youri711, @KSTA]

BREAKING: Bayer Leverkusen have submitted a new €25m plus add-ons offer for Equi Fernández in the last hours - the total amount is just under €30m. Al Qadsiah and B04 are now negotiating details. Agreement with the player is in place on a long term contract. [@berger_pj]

Arsenal are currently the most concrete option for Piero Hincapié. At this late stage in the window, his release clause is €65m. Arsenal must pay the contractually agreed fee for the deal to go ahead - a scenario in which they push down the fee must be ruled out from B04's point of view as it would be extremely risky from a sporting perspective to make the upheaval even bigger.

@Dulfinator @bayer04Xtra @Blickch We were linked at the beginning of the window

@bayer04Xtra @Blickch Was hat das jetzt mit uns zu tun?

Albian Hajdari is set to leave FC Lugano for a Bundesliga club - he was not seen at Lugano training on Monday, and several clubs are interested in signing the center back. Sources close to Lugano suggest that TSG Hoffenheim are hot candidates. [@blickch]
