WEBVTT

1
00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:13.320
<v Speaker 1>It's time for another morning espresso here on the SDCH network.

2
00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:16.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm Jason Longshore. All the soccer news you need to

3
00:00:16.079 --> 00:00:19.719
<v Speaker 1>know for Friday, January third. Yeah, I had to double

4
00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:22.600
<v Speaker 1>check what day it was. It's a holiday week. It's

5
00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:26.399
<v Speaker 1>a little bit off putting at times, but we're getting

6
00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:30.160
<v Speaker 1>back into a normal routine. MLS teams are just honestly

7
00:00:30.199 --> 00:00:34.119
<v Speaker 1>a few days away from preseason camps opening up, so

8
00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:37.079
<v Speaker 1>there will be plenty more talk on the MLS side

9
00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:40.159
<v Speaker 1>with roster moves and such. Plenty of other things to

10
00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:44.640
<v Speaker 1>jump into as well. Today, let's start with the Philadelphia Union.

11
00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:47.759
<v Speaker 1>They've hired Bradley Carnell as their new head coach. That

12
00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:51.840
<v Speaker 1>was announced yesterday. Ten years of professional coaching experience. He

13
00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:55.000
<v Speaker 1>was last with Saint Louis City. Also served as an

14
00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:57.960
<v Speaker 1>interim head coach with the New York Red Bulls. Forty

15
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:01.520
<v Speaker 1>seven years old. Probably going to play a somewhat similar

16
00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:04.680
<v Speaker 1>style to what Jim Curtin did in Philadelphia, Ernst Tanner

17
00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:08.040
<v Speaker 1>said his approach emphasizes a high press style of play

18
00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:11.840
<v Speaker 1>while organizing a structured defense. That's kind of any team

19
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:14.719
<v Speaker 1>with a structured defense, I would hope. Additionally, he shares

20
00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:17.719
<v Speaker 1>the club's vision for developing players. According to Ernst Tanner,

21
00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:20.719
<v Speaker 1>we're confident he will bring a clear sporting philosophy that

22
00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:25.519
<v Speaker 1>elevates the team and delivers a competitive season. Kind of

23
00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:29.040
<v Speaker 1>basic stuff there from Ernst Tanner. I want to see

24
00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:32.359
<v Speaker 1>how different Bradley Carnell's system would look to what we've

25
00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:36.400
<v Speaker 1>seen under Jim Curtin. He yes, should play young players.

26
00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:39.079
<v Speaker 1>Philadelphia has a very strong academy, but this is a

27
00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:42.079
<v Speaker 1>team that is, at least last year was on the

28
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:45.719
<v Speaker 1>older side. They are in the process of remaking it.

29
00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:48.120
<v Speaker 1>I will be curious to see what the roster looks

30
00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:51.480
<v Speaker 1>like on opening day and how high pressing he will

31
00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:54.079
<v Speaker 1>be able to play with the roster that he has.

32
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:57.840
<v Speaker 1>New England Revolution they have been very busy as of late.

33
00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:02.840
<v Speaker 1>They've transferred homegrown winger as Sir Birekterovich to PSV that

34
00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:06.799
<v Speaker 1>was announced yesterday, nineteen years old Bosnia and Herzegovina International.

35
00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:10.080
<v Speaker 1>About six million dollars is what the reports are saying,

36
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:12.919
<v Speaker 1>also a sellon fee for the REVS. Three years with

37
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:15.599
<v Speaker 1>the first team in New England, five goals for assists

38
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:19.199
<v Speaker 1>in fifty seven games, was a top player in MLS

39
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:23.520
<v Speaker 1>next pro as well, a very very strong young talent.

40
00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:26.840
<v Speaker 1>We'll see how much time he gets at PSV. So

41
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:30.199
<v Speaker 1>on the outgoing is brek Terovich. On the incoming is

42
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:34.120
<v Speaker 1>Louis Diaz, formerly of the Columbus Crew. The winger twenty

43
00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:39.800
<v Speaker 1>six years old Costa Rican international, signed for one season

44
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:43.400
<v Speaker 1>with two years of options after that, and he signed

45
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:47.840
<v Speaker 1>on a free transfer last playing with Saprisa in Costa Rica.

46
00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:52.039
<v Speaker 1>Six goals, fourteen assists in eighty six MLS games during

47
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:55.759
<v Speaker 1>his time with Columbus twenty nineteen to twenty twenty three.

48
00:02:56.599 --> 00:03:01.080
<v Speaker 1>Also has played with Gracia Eridiano and Saprisa in Costa Rica.

49
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:05.120
<v Speaker 1>Eight caps for the Costa Rica national team. Incredible speed

50
00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:08.439
<v Speaker 1>for Luis Diaz and at times for Columbus he looked

51
00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:11.639
<v Speaker 1>incredible and then at times it didn't really come off.

52
00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:13.879
<v Speaker 1>So I'll be curious to see what Luis Das shows

53
00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:17.759
<v Speaker 1>up in New England when they get started. Also, reports

54
00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:21.319
<v Speaker 1>out of France, including let keep saying that the Revolution

55
00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:25.159
<v Speaker 1>are looking to add Ignatius Ganago on loan with an

56
00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:28.560
<v Speaker 1>option to buy. He's currently at not in France. He

57
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:32.240
<v Speaker 1>has not scored in eleven games the Cameroon and International,

58
00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:36.360
<v Speaker 1>and there are confirmations on both sides of the Atlantic

59
00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:39.800
<v Speaker 1>that there are some form of negotiations going on between

60
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:43.960
<v Speaker 1>New England and Ganago and not Chicago Fire. They have

61
00:03:44.039 --> 00:03:50.080
<v Speaker 1>transferred to Bias Saulquist to Danish super lega side FC Norchland.

62
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:52.960
<v Speaker 1>That was announced yesterday. Twenty nine year old Danish center

63
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:56.199
<v Speaker 1>back played one year with the Chicago Fire, one assist,

64
00:03:56.280 --> 00:04:00.840
<v Speaker 1>sixteen games across all competitions Boca Juniors. They are continuing

65
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:04.840
<v Speaker 1>to chase after Alan Velasco. According to Ole and Argentina.

66
00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:09.000
<v Speaker 1>The latest offer is up to eight million dollars from

67
00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:12.080
<v Speaker 1>Boca for Velasco and it's kind of fifty to fifty

68
00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:15.120
<v Speaker 1>according to Ole on if that would be accepted by

69
00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:19.560
<v Speaker 1>FC Dallas. Taysa and Argentina reporting that Miguel Borja, the

70
00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:23.759
<v Speaker 1>striker at river Plate, the Colombian, is still on the

71
00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:29.040
<v Speaker 1>radar of the Columbus crew. The clause to bring him

72
00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:33.600
<v Speaker 1>in the release clause right now, allegedly in January, has

73
00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:39.240
<v Speaker 1>dropped to four million dollars. That's not outrageous. That is

74
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:43.079
<v Speaker 1>a very I think realistic kind of number for Borja,

75
00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:46.560
<v Speaker 1>who scored thirty goals in thirty eight games for Riverplate

76
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:50.360
<v Speaker 1>in twenty twenty four. Now, with Martin di Michelis leaving

77
00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:55.240
<v Speaker 1>the club, Guijardo coming back into the club, seemed like

78
00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:57.639
<v Speaker 1>Borja's spot was kind of lost a little bit. He

79
00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:01.079
<v Speaker 1>has said he wants to stay at River Plate. Columbus

80
00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:03.920
<v Speaker 1>chasing him, and I wonder if they're chasing him again

81
00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:07.399
<v Speaker 1>in a renewed way, because potentially there could be some

82
00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:10.720
<v Speaker 1>interest or a deal in Couco Hernandez leaving the club.

83
00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:12.519
<v Speaker 1>We'll all wait and see on that. That's a lot

84
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:16.040
<v Speaker 1>of things to play out, But according to Tesa in Argentina,

85
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:20.199
<v Speaker 1>Borja is still being chased by the Columbus crew. According

86
00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:24.360
<v Speaker 1>to Uriel Jute in Argentina and or Miami have started

87
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:27.920
<v Speaker 1>talks for twenty four year old Argentine forward Alexis Cuejo

88
00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:31.839
<v Speaker 1>from San Lorenzo. Eight goals thirty six games for San

89
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:35.920
<v Speaker 1>Lorenzo in twenty twenty four. Let's move over to the NWSL.

90
00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:39.240
<v Speaker 1>The Houston Dash have hired Fabrice Goatrou as their new

91
00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:43.160
<v Speaker 1>head coach. According to the Equalizer that broke last night,

92
00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:46.680
<v Speaker 1>Gotrou has been an assistant coach for the North Carolina Courage,

93
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:50.560
<v Speaker 1>the Chicago Red Stars. He also finished his playing career

94
00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:53.560
<v Speaker 1>here in Atlanta with the Atlanta Silverbacks in twenty fifteen.

95
00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:57.639
<v Speaker 1>He is also the husband of Morgan Gotro, a two

96
00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:00.959
<v Speaker 1>time World Cup winner currently playing for the Orlando Pride.

97
00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:04.199
<v Speaker 1>And I'm not sure how many times in NWSL history

98
00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:06.519
<v Speaker 1>you've had a situation like this where you could have

99
00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:09.879
<v Speaker 1>a you could have spouses from a coach and a

100
00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:14.160
<v Speaker 1>player standpoint on opposite sides in a match. Be fascinating

101
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:17.519
<v Speaker 1>to see how that one would go. All right, let's

102
00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:24.040
<v Speaker 1>get your latest Danny Olmo update. Boy, Barcelona still thinks

103
00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:28.720
<v Speaker 1>somehow that he will be registered today. It's outside of

104
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:31.199
<v Speaker 1>the deadline which ended on December thirty. First, it is

105
00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:33.560
<v Speaker 1>January third. Barcelona might be as bad as some of

106
00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:35.319
<v Speaker 1>the rest of us, and knowing what day and date

107
00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:39.959
<v Speaker 1>it is at this point, with Barcelona for some reason

108
00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:42.319
<v Speaker 1>feeling confident that this would happen, there are other clubs

109
00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:44.560
<v Speaker 1>in La Liga who are threatening to take the case

110
00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:50.519
<v Speaker 1>to court if Olmo is registered by La Liga. There

111
00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:55.639
<v Speaker 1>are precedents for not registering him at this case, multiple

112
00:06:56.079 --> 00:07:00.399
<v Speaker 1>precedents in this situation. Pedro Leone in twenty fourteen, Tafe

113
00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:03.079
<v Speaker 1>could not register him due to the salary cap. He

114
00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:07.079
<v Speaker 1>had the support of the Spanish FA. LaLiga denied the

115
00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:10.519
<v Speaker 1>registration in twenty fourteen. The player went to the court

116
00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:14.160
<v Speaker 1>system and finally was able to play after six months.

117
00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:17.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if that's going to help daniy Emo.

118
00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:21.360
<v Speaker 1>Here keik Garcia twenty sixteen, he was unable to make

119
00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:25.639
<v Speaker 1>his debut with Ibar because his documentation to register him

120
00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:30.720
<v Speaker 1>arrived one minute late. LaLiga did not allow him to

121
00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:33.079
<v Speaker 1>be registered and he had to wait six months before

122
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:37.600
<v Speaker 1>the next registration window to be able to play. Shinji Okazaka.

123
00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:41.720
<v Speaker 1>He had a similar experience here at Malaga, a team

124
00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:45.800
<v Speaker 1>that exceeded the salary cap. He took a minimum salary

125
00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:51.040
<v Speaker 1>to facilitate his registration. LaLiga rejected that, and the Japanese

126
00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:54.480
<v Speaker 1>player had to terminate his contract and sign with USCA.

127
00:07:55.560 --> 00:08:00.600
<v Speaker 1>That's three different precedents saying that the league should not

128
00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:06.199
<v Speaker 1>allow Donnyelmo's registration. If they do, it is going to

129
00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:08.360
<v Speaker 1>go to court and the other clubs in La Liga

130
00:08:08.399 --> 00:08:12.040
<v Speaker 1>are going to push this. I don't know how this happens.

131
00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:15.079
<v Speaker 1>So again you go back to Jean Laporta and how

132
00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:18.439
<v Speaker 1>does he stay in his position if he has botched

133
00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:22.160
<v Speaker 1>this to this degree. Meanwhile, at Barcelona, while all this

134
00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:25.519
<v Speaker 1>is going on, they're looking for a new team chef

135
00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:31.439
<v Speaker 1>Robert Lewandowski has complained. Hansei Flick has backed his star

136
00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:36.679
<v Speaker 1>striker and they are not happy about the complaint from

137
00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:40.240
<v Speaker 1>Lewandowski that he was not happy about how the eggs

138
00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:44.240
<v Speaker 1>were prepared by the previous chef. So Hanse Flick went

139
00:08:44.279 --> 00:08:47.320
<v Speaker 1>to the club and has asked for a professional chef

140
00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:52.559
<v Speaker 1>to be recruited. Good job, Barcelona, you are really focusing

141
00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:56.559
<v Speaker 1>on the important things. Let's go to the Italian super Cup.

142
00:08:56.679 --> 00:09:00.679
<v Speaker 1>Inter beat at de Lanta two nil yesterday, will play

143
00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:04.559
<v Speaker 1>Juventus today. Christian Polisic could be part of that match

144
00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:07.360
<v Speaker 1>for Milan. He's been one of their best players this season,

145
00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:11.159
<v Speaker 1>five goals for assists. He's had an ankle injury, He's

146
00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:15.840
<v Speaker 1>had a calf injury. He is back in the mix

147
00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:18.960
<v Speaker 1>for Milan in this match, which will be the debut

148
00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:23.600
<v Speaker 1>of new manager Sergio Concee Sao, who replaced Paolo Fonseca.

149
00:09:23.960 --> 00:09:27.840
<v Speaker 1>The funny thing is Sergio Conte SAO's son, Francisco, is

150
00:09:27.879 --> 00:09:31.159
<v Speaker 1>a winger for Juventus. The winner will play enter and

151
00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:36.080
<v Speaker 1>that match will be on Monday. According to La Republica,

152
00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:40.480
<v Speaker 1>Arsenal and Aston Villa are chasing Atalanta striker Matteo Retegi

153
00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:47.600
<v Speaker 1>born in Argentina, converted his not citizenship but his eligibility

154
00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:50.279
<v Speaker 1>to play at the national team level to Italy. He

155
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:52.720
<v Speaker 1>was the most prolific Italian player in twenty twenty four,

156
00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:56.360
<v Speaker 1>sixteen goals in thirty five games for Genoa and Atalanta.

157
00:09:57.120 --> 00:09:59.960
<v Speaker 1>We'll see, we'll see if Arsenal or Aston Villa can

158
00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:02.200
<v Speaker 1>get this deal done. We know aston Villa is looking

159
00:10:02.279 --> 00:10:05.879
<v Speaker 1>at forwards don Yelle Malin from Brusia. Dortmund is in

160
00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:09.039
<v Speaker 1>their crosshairs as well, and according to reports, Dortmund to

161
00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:13.799
<v Speaker 1>have declined the first offer that was made by Villa fora.

162
00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:17.960
<v Speaker 1>Brizzio Romano reporting that negotiations are underway for Kieran Tierney

163
00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:21.480
<v Speaker 1>to return to Celtic from Arsenal, twenty seven year old

164
00:10:21.480 --> 00:10:24.080
<v Speaker 1>full back. He's keen on the move, according to Romano,

165
00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:27.120
<v Speaker 1>talks will continue to try to get a deal done.

166
00:10:27.679 --> 00:10:30.720
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of Celtic, they had an embarrassing loss yesterday three

167
00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:34.399
<v Speaker 1>Nils or Rangers. They're still way up in the table.

168
00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:36.519
<v Speaker 1>There's nothing to really worry about in terms of the

169
00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:39.240
<v Speaker 1>league side of things for Celtic, but a very bad

170
00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:43.480
<v Speaker 1>performance on the road across down at Eyebrocks to face Rangers.

171
00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:47.559
<v Speaker 1>Also very bad. In this match, a coin was thrown

172
00:10:47.639 --> 00:10:49.679
<v Speaker 1>from the stands late in the game with the three

173
00:10:49.799 --> 00:10:55.159
<v Speaker 1>nil lead, struck Celtic midfielder Arna Engels near the left eye,

174
00:10:57.039 --> 00:10:59.200
<v Speaker 1>as Alisair Johnston said, it is lucky it didn't hit

175
00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:01.240
<v Speaker 1>him in the eye. He was okay and he was

176
00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:04.200
<v Speaker 1>able to continue. But it's an absolute black eye to Rangers.

177
00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:08.679
<v Speaker 1>It's embarrassing. They issued a statement afterwards condemning it. Sure whatever,

178
00:11:08.840 --> 00:11:12.320
<v Speaker 1>let's actually see some action here. There's plenty of cameras

179
00:11:12.440 --> 00:11:15.480
<v Speaker 1>in the stadium. I would assume find who did it.

180
00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:19.440
<v Speaker 1>Ban them from life, Ban them for life from attending games,

181
00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:22.480
<v Speaker 1>for throwing things at players and putting their health and

182
00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:26.200
<v Speaker 1>safety in jeopardy. This should not even be anything to debate.

183
00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:28.440
<v Speaker 1>You can put all the statements out that you want.

184
00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:32.639
<v Speaker 1>This is an absolute embarrassment in a three zero win,

185
00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:36.440
<v Speaker 1>your team is winning and you're throwing things at players

186
00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:40.120
<v Speaker 1>on the field. Get a grip. Get that person banned

187
00:11:40.480 --> 00:11:44.159
<v Speaker 1>for life. There should not be any conversation about it.

188
00:11:44.679 --> 00:11:47.720
<v Speaker 1>Let's go back down to South America in Zo Beetres,

189
00:11:47.879 --> 00:11:51.039
<v Speaker 1>the legend at river Plate, has returned to the club

190
00:11:51.080 --> 00:11:55.000
<v Speaker 1>from Miss Studiantes. Thirty seven years old. He played forty

191
00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:59.240
<v Speaker 1>seven games forty one starts for Studiantes last season and

192
00:11:59.279 --> 00:12:04.960
<v Speaker 1>he was brilliant in all tournaments, all competitions, very good

193
00:12:04.960 --> 00:12:08.559
<v Speaker 1>with his passing, won the majority of his duels, was

194
00:12:08.679 --> 00:12:12.759
<v Speaker 1>big time on creating chances as well. He's headed back

195
00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:16.879
<v Speaker 1>to play for Gayjardo at river Plate. Bayer Leverkusen has

196
00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:20.159
<v Speaker 1>signed a young Argentine forward ale hel Sarco. It was

197
00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:23.320
<v Speaker 1>on a free transfer from Vella Sarsfield. I'm baffled how

198
00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:25.279
<v Speaker 1>Vella's didn't handle this better to get some kind of

199
00:12:25.279 --> 00:12:28.240
<v Speaker 1>a transfer fee. He's not expected to come into lever

200
00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:32.399
<v Speaker 1>Cusan squad straight away. He's an Argentine youth international. He

201
00:12:32.679 --> 00:12:36.519
<v Speaker 1>is a player for the future according to leverck Cusan.

202
00:12:36.600 --> 00:12:40.320
<v Speaker 1>Really excited to see what he can turn into. According

203
00:12:40.320 --> 00:12:44.240
<v Speaker 1>to their managing director Simon Rolfiz, with his finishing skills,

204
00:12:44.240 --> 00:12:47.159
<v Speaker 1>he completes the profile of a modern center forward, has

205
00:12:47.159 --> 00:12:49.320
<v Speaker 1>a promising career ahead of him. We'll keep an eye

206
00:12:49.399 --> 00:12:54.480
<v Speaker 1>on ale Jilsarco at Levercusen. Let's go back down to Brazil.

207
00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:59.080
<v Speaker 1>Now Flamingo they have rejected an offer from Aston Villa,

208
00:12:59.120 --> 00:13:03.279
<v Speaker 1>who is very busy in the transfer window so far. Villa,

209
00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:08.320
<v Speaker 1>chasing a fullback. Wesley, offered fifteen million euro. Flamingo said no,

210
00:13:08.759 --> 00:13:12.039
<v Speaker 1>they're looking for twenty five million euro. But they also

211
00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:15.480
<v Speaker 1>want to hold on to Wesley through the Club World Cup,

212
00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:18.080
<v Speaker 1>which I love that Globo in Brazil is calling it

213
00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:21.679
<v Speaker 1>the Super Club World Cup because of the size of it.

214
00:13:21.720 --> 00:13:24.919
<v Speaker 1>Now the Super Club World Cup. Flamingo wants to hold

215
00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:27.679
<v Speaker 1>on to Wesley through that twenty one year old fullback.

216
00:13:27.720 --> 00:13:30.679
<v Speaker 1>He'll be in Europe sooner rather than later. Last year

217
00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:33.519
<v Speaker 1>there were two offers for Wesley, a twelve million euro

218
00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:37.440
<v Speaker 1>offer from Bournemouth that was rejected, a twenty million euro

219
00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:42.559
<v Speaker 1>offer from Atalanta that was accepted. But Flamingo did not

220
00:13:42.759 --> 00:13:46.240
<v Speaker 1>want to leave have Wesley leave before the end of

221
00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:49.960
<v Speaker 1>the round to sixteen of the Copa Libertadoris. Deal fell through,

222
00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:53.639
<v Speaker 1>so Villa offering fifteen million euro that's not going to

223
00:13:53.679 --> 00:13:55.480
<v Speaker 1>get it done. We'll see if they can up that

224
00:13:55.559 --> 00:14:00.200
<v Speaker 1>offer and get the young Brazilian into Villa Park to

225
00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:03.879
<v Speaker 1>do it for me. On this edition of The Morning Espresso,
