Petar Ratkov – uefa.com

Lazio has completed the transfer of a 22-year-old forward Petar Ratkov from Red Bull Salzburg. They bought him for 13 million euros. Ratkov has a four-and-a-half-year contract. The player had 29 games in the current season and scored 12 goals with 3 assists. Even though the new player for Lazio, Petar Ratkov, was bought by Lazio and now will play for them, Lazio’s head coach, Maurizio Sarri, admitted that he does not know much about Ratkov. When asked by a journalist about the transfer of Ratkov and who will replace the player sold to West Ham, Valentin Castellanos, Sarri said: “I don’t know this player. Perhaps the club knows him better than me, but honestly, I don’t know what to say. I did not watch Austrian football; I do not have time. I’ll try to determine his strong points and weak points and to find the way to use him effectively.”

Peretz leaves Bayern on loan… again

Bayern Munich officially transferred goalkeeper Daniel Peretz on a temporary basis to Southampton. Peretz, who is 25 years old and is from Israel, will play for Southampton until the end of the season. The deal costs 0.4 million euros, and the Championship club has the option to buy Peretz for 8 million euros. In the first part of the current season, Peretz was on loan in Germany—he was playing for Hamburg. However, he only played in 2 matches of the German Cup for Hamburg (he allowed one goal), and during the entire season in the Bundesliga, he sat on the bench for every match, and therefore Bayern called Daniel back in the winter.

Frenchman goes from Premier League to Bundesliga

Arno Kalimuendo, a 23-year-old Frenchman and forward for Nottingham Forest, has finished his career in the Premier League. He will continue to play in the German Bundesliga. Kalimuendo has gone on loan to Eintracht. The transfer deal is worth 1.5 million euros, and there is an option for the clubs to make the purchase of the PSG academy graduate, who did not succeed in the Premier League. In the current season, Kalimuundo has participated in nine matches of the league without contributing to the score. However, he has only spent 90 minutes on the field, and in the Europa League, he scored two goals in four games.
