This is already a generally considered problem. Joselu is considered lucky to be transferred to Real Madrid. This team urgently needs a quality striker. Joselu may be a good striker, but he is not of sufficient quality for Real Madrid. He cannot fill Benzema's void. If Mbappe comes, Real will eliminate that problem too.

That's how unlucky some players are and when they left the club managed to win several titles and maybe Henderson was one of the people who were unlucky enough that when Liverpool managed to emerge as champions of the English league he wasn't there. There used to be Ibrahimovic and he always failed to win the Champions League title and strangely enough, after he left the club he previously played for managed to win the title. That has become a bit more common as there are now many Europa players willing to accept offers from the Saudi Arabian League.

Even young players are now starting to be looked at by clubs there and they never care what price the player is offered by their home club because when they intend to recruit then money is not a big problem for the club owners there.

Liverpool the club he left are doing well this season and look like likely winners of the premier league this season if they continue like this. Henderson may be regretting that he is not a part of that story. Al-Ettifaq has been described as a ship that is sinking, Henderson is trying to get off. I also think that maybe he has not been able to settle into the country and maybe that has contributed to him wanting to leave a club he just joined and a move to Saudi Arabia which he defended well. That is to say that some other European players are not happy too, but are still just silent about it.

Amadou Onana will be good for Arsenal's midfield and Arteta has projected how Arsenal will be better with the presence of Amadou Onana in Arsenal's midfield.
but the purchase will have an impact on other players. Maybe Arsenal will also release some of their players too. This should reach an agreement soon. because there were rumors previously that Chelsea and United were also interested in Amadou Onana. everything is just a rumor. and Arsenal might be the right choice for Amadou Onana if a deal goes through.

Arsenal might have the money to sign the Belgian midfielder but they are also limited by Financial Fair Play regulations. The Gunners spent about £208million summer which means that their expenses are approaching  £400million in the past three years. Arsenal might be more comfortable with a loan deal that will lead to a permanent deal after the expiration. But the Gunners is not alone in the chase for the signature of Amadou Onana. It was also reported that Chelsea is also interested in signing this young player. Sometimes I wonder why Chelsea is still pursuing more players when it is glary that they don't lack quality stars. The problem they have is how to maximize the players they already have.

Amadou Onana is interested to join Arsenal, and negotiations might progress rapidly. While Arsenal considers signing additional midfielders this summer, the absence of a focus on acquiring a striker could hinder their competitiveness in the league. Arteta might be overlooking the need for a striker, and not addressing this in the summer would be a critical oversight. Having reliable strikers in the January transfer market is expected to be challenging. If the opportunity arises to sign Onana, it would be a great move for squad depth. Hopefully, Onana will find success at the Emirates and serve as an excellent replacement for Partey.

From the start, no one expected much from Joselu, he was trusted only to fill the existing void, not to be a player who was truly reliable like the previous Real Madrid striker. However, it must be admitted that he didn't play badly, but he also didn't play extraordinary, he played just normal. Actually, I really appreciate his hard work, because it turns out he is mentally strong enough despite the pressure because many people doubt him.
The striker position is now the main focus for Real Madrid, they have to bring in new players who can fill the void well. Because it would also be very dangerous if they faced a club whose defense was very strong while they didn't have a striker who could disrupt the opponent's defense. They also now need a defender, that's what Ancelotti said, there are still gaps in their defense.

Jorginho was a flop but partey could play a bit better than jorginho but these guys were performing worst this season. Arteta wants a new midfielder but no guarantee if having onana will make arsenal goes to the top again. I remind you when arsenal bought jorginho from chelsea last season.
The same publication being made to increase the capability of club in winning the trophy but it was trophyless last season. I will not even trust this caused by onana can also have chance to be another flop like jorginho.

I would like to see him stay much longer in everton but since arsenal has offered sense fees to get him and it seems like that the club was just agree to sell him. Arsenal once again does another gambling at the middle of season.
It will be so hard for onana to adapt with the game play of arsenal. His performance was quite impressive on everton but im really doubt about him. The supporters will be ready to booing him if he will play as bad as jorginho.

According to reports,Arsenal are on the verge agreeing a loan and obligation to buy deal with Everton for the services of their star midfielder Amadou Onana.Arsenal really want to boaster their midfield option by bringing in a long term replacement for Partey and Jorginho.According to reports,Everton are in financial crisis,and would want to cash in on the player for a fee in the region of 50 million.
This would be a very nice deal for both parties of the deal materialises,with report saying that Onana loves a move to Emirate stadium,where he can play alongside Declan Rice,and Martin Odegard in midfield.

Joselu and Mbappe's status at Real Madrid intrigues me. Joselu, on loan from Espanyol, has scored and assisted. Real Madrid should prolong his loan or buy him considering his productivity. Given his star status, Mbappe will presumably get the no. 9 jersey if he joins.

I think Madrid shouldnt rush to decide based on Mbappe's preferences. Joselu's jersey number flexibility is helpful. I think Mbappe plays better as a winger than a striker, allowing Rodrygo to play up front and Vini and Bellingham to support. This could balance the team and keep the offensive powerful without relying on one guy.

Henderson is not having a good time in the Saudi and it's obvious that the moves was not as expected. At this point he can't continue to stay where he is not happy. He still has lot of years ahead of him to play active football. He has lots of experience in playing in Europe so he will be a great addition to the Ajax team.

Joselu has ever played for real madrid in the past and this was not unexpected thing to happen. I meant that if he was doing his best to make sure the club can perform better by having him. Joselu's stat was not that bad but it's far from benzema.
To be honest, from what i have been watching that it seems his team mates lack of trust in him. As you can see that how many times madrid's players were not passing him and yeah i can understand that since they were not fully trusting joselu.
He can back again to the espanyol very soon after his contarct with real madrid will be running out. I knew that real madrid has no other choice but the club can try to get a new number 9 right now. Im thinking about the possibility for ancellotti to get a new player soon.
It will be so good for real madrid to have a new striker to come and i would like to see that someone like haaland to join in the real madrid as a striker. At least someone like napoli's striker will be quite well to play for madrid.

Finally, manchester united has been reaching an agreement with dortmund over sancho's transfer. I was feeling that if sancho would be back to dortmund again and finally it's happening right now.

Dortmund is still trying to believe if sancho will able to perform good again in the team. Im also happy to see that if dortmund is still trusting him right now. Im doubting him caused by sancho was performing so badly in united but it seems like that sancho is opening his eyes again if the best place will be going back to the his old team. Sancho has learned a lot from this cause to never try to join in the club that is not making him feel happy. Ten hag never try to trust him and sancho was lucky enough caused by he can still join in the big club.

This is the main problem owned by sancho but dortmund has solved it and sancho needs to thankful to the his former club to accept him back again in the club. Well done, sancho. You are picking the right choice to join in the dortmund again soon.

Leipzig will not be able to increase his price at the end of the season because the agreement is clear with the purchase option mentioned above cannot be changed and Spurs only need to pay around 15 - 20 million euros to make him permanent at the end of the season. But it is better to see his development first and it can also be a consideration at the end of the season whether Spurs will be interested in making him permanent or not.

At Chelsea previously he couldn't really shine, but this time Timo Werner doesn't want to experience failure like before when he was in the Blues squad and he will try to convince coach Ange that this can be considered by management to make him permanent. Of course it's not easy and Timo Werner must provide decent expectations, especially as a prolific striker until the end of the season. Returning to Leipzig will not provide hope and he will only be a bench warmer and that is bad enough for his career.

I was the person who supported Joselu when he returned to Real Madrid, he looked very serious and wanted to show that Madrid was not wrong to borrow him. Joselu is aware that his stay at Madrid is only temporary, however Joselu does not give up on giving his best to this club. Discussing how the team worked together when Joselu kept trying to score a goal and at that time Bellingham became the main support until finally Joselu was able to score a goal. The emotion was felt until the stadium  was amazed by Joselu struggle.

In my opinion, it doesn't matter to Joselu whether he will be returned to Espanyol or if he gets a valuable offer in his life to make it permanent with the option of being a back-up, Joselu will accept that. Because at Madrid he understood the meaning of a big club and the struggle with all the players.

So far Joselu and all the Madrid players seem to support each other, showing chemistry even though  they realize they still feel lacking. That's Madrid with different quality players but the level of solidity should be appreciated.

The problem in this case is in the contract. It does not matter that he continues to wait until whenever about the future he will go but on the other hand it will not make PSG a favorable position because in any case seeing from what is happening now for the Mbappe problem we know that previously there was a drama where PSG tried to ultimatum when he refused to extend the contract.
This will also continue to happen as long as he is at PSG because until now when we see his contract at PSG it is only a few months left because his contract will expire in June this year.

Seeing from this situation then indeed even if Mbappe does not matter but PSG clearly will not expect too much because they realize that they definitely do not want to lose big money to sell this player.

It also became a hot rumor but there was another statement from Klopp when they said that they would never sell Salah for now it seems that it could also be an answer even if there is a good offer like last season from the SPL club but it seems that Liverpool will still keep Salah and it could be that with the survival of Salah the thought of Mbappe will fade because after all they must have to spend a lot again if they really expect Mbappe to be in the Liverpool squad.
What I know is that Ancelotti will not sign any more defenders even though they have a lot of problems because Rudiger and Alaba are injury prone, not to mention Militao who still needs time to heal but for other players in midfield and attack I don't really know about that update.

The problem is that finding a replacement for Benzema is not easy because we know that strikers who are suitable for a club like Madrid are a bit difficult to find so in addition to taking time, they still need to consider the compatibility between players later.

Joselu did not perform as well as Real Madrid expected from Joselu, and it cannot be said that Real Madrid performed too poorly considering the position,the star performed averagely after the departure of one of the main strikers. Karim Benzema was one of Real Madrid's best strikers and most of the goals came from him but after his departure Real Madrid failed to find a new best striker to replace him. I say failed because they considered Mbappe to replace Karim Benzema but they couldn't complete the deal with Mbappe. Mbappe is fully responsible for the contract not being completed because he prioritizes money every season.

Real Madrid might not have spent so much time chasing any other player, but on the contrary, Mbappe is the star, so this club is still waiting for him. But next season, something positive is definitely going to come with Real Madrid and Mbappe's deal.

He is often played as an option and sometimes it is not uncommon for him to play as a substitute for a spare actually with a score of 5 goals and 2 assists at his age which is not too young anymore I think it is still quite appropriate for Joselu because after all he must know that his priority during his loan at Madrid this time is only to be a coating and contribute his best when he is trusted to play by Ancelotti.

This season Madrid made a breakthrough by not putting a pure striker in their squad and until now it is still going according to plan as for the problem of finding a main striker who really fits Madrid and in accordance with the criteria for Benzema's replacement this is definitely not something easy so Madrid's current steps are quite right by not rushing to find players who have the type as pure strikers because if it is rushed it could also be the result is not very good.

I absolutely agree about Joselu! I mean it was clear from the beginning that nobody could expect Joselu to play on the world's best strikers level as he was already 33 years old and didn't play for one of the best clubs for the most part of his career. It would be unfair to compare him to Ronaldo or to the best year Benzema ever had. But when we look at the performances he delivered, I think he really did a great job. In 25 games he scored 9 goals and gave 2 assists and keep in mind (!), he only played one half on average per game. The number of his participations in all the goals scored is almost 50% when he only plays 50% of a game. That's very solid in my opinion.

Even though his contribution at Madrid wasn't too much, at least Joselu didn't disappoint us while playing on the field. Maybe Ancelotti plan from the start was to borrow him until he actually got a main striker to replace Benzema. Moreover, the news we heard this year is that Madrid is definitely looking for the right replacement. I wouldn't expect Mbappe because 2x giving false hope made Madrid learn a lot of things. A club as elite and rich as Madrid must continue to uphold its reputation. This is the first time a young, shining player has rejected Madrid in a quite surprising way after confirming that he would go to Madrid last season. Everyone already knows and is now disappointed with his decision. But back to Madrid future, what I see at the moment is that Joselu is only a temporary player who will be returned to Espanyol.
