Real Madrid hasn't officially said anything, but several sources suggest it. Kylian will turn 26 in 2024, so the club wants to sign younger players. Because Kylian asks for a big salary and signing bonus, Real Madrid might decide not to sign him next summer. He chose politics and money over his dream, so be it. Also with Jude Bellingham around, everything has changed. Instead of focusing on him, Real Madrid should concentrate on strengthening their attacking force.
In my opinion, Madrid will remain focused on looking for a striker, regardless of whether it is Mbappe or Osimhen. Even though Madrid stated that there are no plans to recruit next season, last season was at the forefront and has always been the main focus in bringing Mbappe to Madrid. Regarding Jude Bellingham, his position remains in midfield and relying on him continuously is not a good solution. Do you think Bellingham presence will make Madrid good every season? That was so careless

Madrid needs more options than none, this is for long-term stability. Do you think one season is enough? Then afterwards, if you are hit by an injury storm and don't have any other options, can you still say you're fine?

I thought that Barcelona looks pretty strong without Lewandowski, but I made a mistake here. They have several young players that are very good with the ball, technically on a very high level, but they all lack the deadly efficiency that Lewandowski had when he was in perfect condition. Without him it seems that some experience is missing and also someone who can score the easy goals because he knows where the ball will go next. Lewandowski had this intuition and was always at the right place in the right time. This isn't the same since he has joined Barcelona. His numbers dropped and now injuries are increasing.

It's obviously wrong. I don't even see barcelona looks like a strong club without lewandowski. You shall better see the result in the previous games. Barcelona has been facing difficulties in beating its opponent. Having no striker played in the club makes the club was not able in doing one tap to scoring against its opponent. Does it make sense to think the club will be much better to play without pure striker rather than a striker that has good positioning and one tap?
I think that's pretty naive. Look at the result from the previous season. Lewandowski has been also the top scorer of la liga. It sounds like that you were underestimating lewandowski's contribution to the club.

Barcelona was just facing the weak team and it has not yet faced the strong team. How can you said that if the club is strong enough at this moment? I don't even think like that.
Barcelona will struggling in scoring against strong opponent when it will be playing without striker.

You tend to interpret too many things into other peoples' posts. And some of the confusion may be my fault for not being more precise with my wording, but the situation is what it is and starting from where Barcelona stands, I thought that they could bridge the gap of a missing striker due to injury with their creative attacking line and midfielders, but they can't. With the striker Lewandowski, they also have big problems. Which is why I said that I made a mistake thinking that on paper they don't look all too bad, but the results are not reflecting my first impression. That's why they definitely have to come up with a plan for the future to restructure the whole team and sign world class players where needed. But since they are still on a downtrend somehow, it is hard to convince players to go to Barcelona as it is not the club anymore that everybody wants to play for.

Arsenal looking at one signing currently this window as it stands, likely a Striker or Winger 🤝They also want to be smart with the deal they strike, for example something similar to the Raya deal 💵. Arsenal is expecting  to spend big again in the summer window 👀. Lest see who their target is. Am guessing it might be Ivan Toney Or Boni face. Also we are expecting to see Timber's twin brother to join Arsenal as a RB am not sure but that is the Rumohr everywhere.
I'm not sure if Arsenal needs a right back when we have Ben White and Timber at that position,we also have Tomiyasou,but if Arteta is to convert Zinchenko into a midfielder,which he is already doing,then I think they might go for a left back instead of right back.And concerning Ivan Toney's rumour,I think Arsenal might really want that deal to happen because the two strikers they have currently, aren't performing the way they were supposed to perform.Gabriel Jesus is not reliable,he is mostly disturbed by injury and even when he is on the field,he hardly gets goals like a top striker.Arsenal needs a reliable striker that can score Atleast 20-25 goals every season,and I think Toney maybe able to get them like 20 goals every season because he has that pace and strength.

It seems Real Madrid is not going to make the same mistake they did last summer and they don't want to keep seeking for Mbappe and hope to hire this player in the next transfer window.
Even Real Madrid is choosing alternative options for Mbappe and they want to hire Jamal Musiala.
Jamal Musiala is a young player and he is currently under contract with Bayern Munich and he asked his team to extend his contract and increase his salary.
However, Manchester City also want to hire Musiala.
Do you mean Real Madrid already decide to give up?
I don't see their statement that they're no longer interested in Mbappe. They still expect to sign Mbappe but they probably have some alternatives. I think Musiala isn't the right alternative, he isn't a striker. Real Madrid has enough midfielder, they won't sign a new midfielder because it is not an urgent thing. Osimhen is the best option for the alternative, I expect Real Madrid has planned to negotiate with Napoli. It won't be easy to sign him because they are many teams to try signing him as well.

I don't think Real Madrid will recruit Kylian Mbappe again because Real Madrid management is frustrated. After several attempts to recruit Kylian Mbappe have occurred in recent seasons, there has been no agreement between the two parties, there is always no result even though they have offered him at a fantastic price. Apart from that, Kylian Mbappe is already 26 years old, making Real Madrid management think twice because the peak of a football player career is under the age of 26 considering the high purchase price and the management cannot get it when he sells it again.

I would understand not wanting Mbappe, but Musiala is not the player that could replace him, they need a striker and without a striker they will not do well enough. Musiala is another midfielder, and yes he is an attacking midfielder, so he is someone that would be good for the team at the front, but he is not a striker.

Real already has way too many midfielders and this would not make any sense. At that point, they will end up having like 2 defenders, 2 wingers and just 6 midfielders for the whole game, that just doesn't make sense at all if you ask me, that is a silly silly move. They need to get a striker, its fine if they do not want to get Mbappe, I do agree that he is a trouble, but at least get another striker.

One of Arsenal's skills is that they spend quite a lot of money in the transfer market to buy their players, almost the same as Chelsea, but for now Arsenal no longer accept criticism of spending money in the transfer market because their performance has experienced a lot of development since last season when they almost became champions of the English Premier League, but This season, if they fail to become EPL champions again, they will receive criticism again.
Purchasing a pure striker that is quite sharp might be their target in the next transfer market because currently Arteta is still in a state of changing the position of his squad. Havertz, who has not yet shown good results, now plays as a midfielder and uses Nketiah more often.
Usually there will be some rumors that come true

Yes, you are right that Jamal Musiala is not the best option for Real Madrid to replace Kylian Mbappé. Musiala is a deep-place midfielder, Kylian Mbappé is a perfect striker, and Real Madrid needs a solid striker in the midfield. Already, Jude Bellingham has taken over and left no stone unturned, but Real Madrid's strike space is empty for a perfect striker, and I think Kylian Mbappé will do his best. So, Real Madrid should not make a mistake by signing Jamal Musiala, but should try to complete the transfer as soon as possible by adding Kylian Mbappé to their signing list.
By the way, in case you didn't know, Mbappé's favourite positions is not Centre Forward. He prefers coming off the left wing. If Real Madrid sign him, it means Vinícius Jr's style of play might get impacted, perhaps this is one of the reasons Real Madrid don't really care that much about signing Mbappé like they did a couple of seasons back. What Real Madrid need is an actual centre forward and one that is top class, and it's hard to come by such.
I don't think it's a matter of left and right wing positions that is an obstacle to recruiting Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid, but because PSG is not giving way to any team at the moment because PSG would rather keep him than sell him. I don't think the problem with Kylian Mbappe playing on the left wing is a problem because usually a professional player can play on both sides, left and right, we can see that like Real Madrid super start C.Ronaldo he can play on the left and right and we can see that in one 90 minute match he can change positions how many times in the game, and I think kylian Mbappe can play on the left and right too.

well, this is why we always speculate that Real Madrid must immediately look for a reliable striker, but that does not mean Mbappe could be Haaland or Osimhen, etc. the most important thing is a striker who has high quality talent recruiting this striker player, Real Madrid can strengthen their attack line even though they already have Bellingham and Vinicius, but Madrid needs a striker because Bellingham is a midfielder who will definitely have a little difficulty playing an important role as a striker and on the one hand, Bellingham is currently injured and Vinicius is also new. just recovering from his injury and looking for a talented striker will be the best alternative for me to maintain the performance of the attacking line.

from now on I dont really hope for Mbappe arrival again, but if Madrid can bring in Mbappe, this will be happy news, but if not, I hope that Madrid is targeting a striker player who is almost the same as Mbappe.

Yes it's a problem they've had for years, I'm not trying to compare but in Alex Ferguson's time he could see and sign players they could then rely on. Not only that, they were also successful in recruiting young players or even promoting young players to the first squad and it was a success.
Now what they show is not like their glory days. There are some young players who stand out, like Garnarcho for example, but it still can't make up for their shortcomings in many ways.
They have a lot of work to do in this squad, and it can't be done in a short period of time.
How to bring Manchester United back to their glory:
1. The Glazer's family need to sell Manchester United to the rich person e.g. Sheikh Jassim.
2. Sack Ten Hag, hire top manager.
3. Sell useless players, sign top players.

In the next 3-5 years, we will see Manchester United can be as strong as Manchester City or Arsenal.

They have a poor history of transferring plyers and in recent seasons, we've seen them do that. And even they do it when it comes to appointing a coach, how many coaches have Manchester United brought in so far, and how many of them can be said to be "sucessful" (maybe we can start from Fergi's departure). Jose Mourinho is probably one of those who can be said to be successful, although his success is not that glamorous, but it can still be better than other coaches. I don't think the management is serious about managing this club.

They have become really poor at selecting players or coaches. I think the last time they really made some sensible signings was at the time of Ferguson. They had really legends way back then and dominated in English league but right now everything has gotten out of order for them. There is also some issues with management and players which is also affecting them. It's just chaos at United.

Yes, Mbappé is not ideal for the center-forward position because I am more dominant on the left because of my running speed and good ball processing, so there will be a clash if Mbappé is recruited because Vinicius will remain in place in that position while Mbappé in the center-forward position is not to his liking.

One of the top strikers is like Harry Kane who has always been a goal machine but now belongs to Bayern although there were rumors before Harry Kane would go there but it never happened.
With Joselu coming in to fill the center of attack but his ability is not like a classy striker.
Like last season at PSG, Mbappé was placed at center forward with Neymar on the left and Messi on the right, I think with Mbappé's very good quality and even his high goal instinct there is no harm in him playing as a center forward because he has played before. in that position and Vini will not interfere, in fact they can play simultaneously to support each other with the speed of both players.
Now that Real Madrid really needs a new striker, I really hope Mbappé comes soon.

Even Real Madrid is choosing alternative options for Mbappe and they want to hire Jamal Musiala.
Real Madrid have alternatives options to explore if there primary signings doesn't come through, Florentino Pérez have ensure his team is in balance shape, that's the exact reason he appointed Carlo Ancelotti to watch over the atmosphere of Los Blancos in Santiago Bernabéu. Consequently, Real Madrid have eyes on their former target, can the Frenchman pull a big move to join the Spanish side? Kylian Mbappe have been longed enlisted on Real Madrid rader but each time the contract gets closer, Kylian Mbappe will turn them down. Real Madrid is the best competitive club in La Liga and they're globally known for winning significant titles.
Kylian Mbappe has indeed shown his desire to become A Real Madrid player, in fact he has dreamed since he was A child of becoming A player for the Real Madrid team, but we can see now that for several seasons there has been no agreement between Kylian Mbappe and Real Madrid, this is because the PSG team continues to pamper him. Kylian Mbappe to remain in the team by giving him a fairly expensive contract and even setting a price that is quite expensive for Mbappe, this is because PSG has no intention of releasing Kylyan Mbappe to any team at this time.
Mbappe has been playing as a vital role in PSG. Missing him will be so bad for madrid as you can see that if mbappe was helping so much the club during the several matches of UCL. Mbappe has become a new player that is very important for the club.
Remember PSG has been also spending so much money for him. This makes the club will be missing one of its potential talent. This is why people are hoping so much mbappe to join in real madrid.
Let's see what surprise that will come from madrid but i will not believe if real madrid has no intention anymore to recruit mbappe soon.
The only main requirement if mbappe shall have left from PSG with free agent. He will be able to join in real madrid. This is what mbappe wanted. I see nothing wrong with it and it's a common thing when there was a group that is interesting to get more achievement in his life.

Lewandowski's absence has affected them, ok let's assume that this is true. But how did his presence affect the team? The bottom line is that Lewandowski played 96 minutes in this game without getting substituted and he did not score a goal against an opponent who is not even close to be equal in player quality and strength. I think Lewandwoski's impact on the team is modest at best. It's there, but it is not groundbreaking when is playing and it is also not a horror scenario when he is not playing. He had his peak two years ago and now he is contributing quite little to their game.
Lewandowski is surely one of the factors why Barcelona performance is decreasing this season. Lewandowski missed few matches because he got injured problem. And after he recovered, he still couldn't play with his best form again because he didn't play for a long time. It dropped his performance, he needs time to try returning to his best form. Unfortunately, Barcelona really depends on Lewandowski to score goals. Because Lewandowski has a problem with his performance, Barcelona goal productivity is decreasing a lot. You can't see Barcelona gets a difficulty in scoring goals. This is the reality, we can't deny that Lewandowski's performance affects the performance of Barcelona team as a whole.



I thought that Barcelona looks pretty strong without Lewandowski, but I made a mistake here. They have several young players that are very good with the ball, technically on a very high level, but they all lack the deadly efficiency that Lewandowski had when he was in perfect condition. Without him it seems that some experience is missing and also someone who can score the easy goals because he knows where the ball will go next.

However, the role that Mbappé usually plays is wing striker. He possesses incredible speed, which helps him overcome defenders and create dangerous attacks. In particular, accurate shooting is one of Mbappé's outstanding characteristics. He is perfect.
Yes, coming off the wings is his thing. To me, his abilities will be under used if they just decide to play him as a centre forward.

I will ask the question: Will Vinicius Junior give up the number 7 shirt to Mbappé, or will Mbappé wear Benzema's number 9 shirt? In fact, I think the number 7 shirt would be more suitable for Mbappé. Vinicius Junior is showing that he cannot own the number 7 shirt.
Even Ronaldo first wore shirt Number 9 when he had just joined Real Madrid. He got the number 7 later. Vinícius Júnior has a lot of potential, and I still believe in him. He was actually playing so good with in the Last couple of seasons with Benzema around. This season, he just doesn't seem to connect with Joselu at all. If he turns out to be so good, Mbappé will have to settle for another shirt number. Maybe Number 10 when Modric leaves.

Who will be capable of shouldering this great responsibility?

But I feel Barcelona might not endure his injury crisis for too long before they start seeking for a replacement, except he gets back very fit and start helping them score immediately he recovers, cause his absence is really affecting the performance of  the club,
Barcelona signed Felix, I think it is one of the way to prevent the crisis of striker. Unfortunately, it seems Felix is still not in the level of Lewandowski, he is not enough to replace the role of Lewandowski. So, I also guess that Barcelona will try to sign a new striker again. They need a striker with the same level as Lewandowski.
Speaking of Felix, he is only on loan for a year and there is no permanent option in the current loan because of the condition of Barcelona which is still struggling financially and Felix's current high price so that for next season's striker if Lewa finally leaves, Barcelona will indirectly experience a crisis because Felix will also definitely return to Atletico because his loan period expires, although maybe they will start trying to consider something else for this player if it is proven that he is still very good in Barcelona's attack.


Barcelona will not even try to make him as a permanent transfer. Atletico puts non sense price for the garbage player like him which is unbelivable. Im thinking about felix's price shall be under 40m. It's caused by his horrible performance when playing in any of clubs. His performance in barcelona is not that good too. He was also getting small salary from barcelona. This is making the situation even worst than before. I wonder where barcelona will get money to buy the new players.
it doesn't have good income but the only way through selling the players to be used to buy a new striker. Im not seeing a possibility to recruit a new player at this moment without selling the players first.
