Koeman new coach of Barça, a Pogba-Dybala exchange or AC Milan which rushes on Bakayoko: find all the information of the transfer window football this Wednesday, August 19, 2020.
Koeman appointed to FC Barcelona (official)
All that was missing was formalization, and it finally fell on Wednesday. Ronald Koeman is the new coach of FC Barcelona, a club whose colors he wore between 1989 and 1995. He succeeds Quique Setien , who only stayed in Catalonia for 7 months. Koeman (57 years old) signed with Barça until June 2022. The Dutchman had been the coach of the Netherlands since 2018. He had reconverted as a coach in the year 2000, serving in particular at Ajax, at Benfica or even in Valencia.

Pogba to Juve in exchange for Dybala?
According to Tuttosport , Juventus are considering parting ways with Paulo Dybala . Many reasons. First, despite a very good season statistically (17 goals and 14 assists), the Argentinian would have disappointed the Turin leaders during the final sprint, especially in the Champions League, and they would remain skeptical about his ability to be decisive in really important moments. And the other reason concerns Dybala's contract, which will expire in June 2022 and which seems complicated to extend given the player's requirements. Suddenly, this summer could be the best time to carry out a very good operation and the Italian daily evokes the possibility of an exchange with Paul Pogba (Manchester United). It remains to know the position of the Mancunian leaders, who have no real lack on the post of Dybala.
AC Milan: Bakayoko "at all costs"?
Loaned to AS Monaco where he had revealed himself, Tiémoué Bakayoko is coming out of a full season. The French international (26) still has a two-year contract at Chelsea, but he would not be favored by Frank Lampard. Last week, the Gazzetta dello Sport already informed about the desire of AC Milan, where he had been loaned in 2018-19, to bring him back to Italy. This Wednesday, the transalpine daily even speaks of a will "at all costs". The club and the player would agree, but Chelsea have yet to be convinced who, according to the latest news, were asking for € 20m.
