Xavi doesnt like the idea of releasing players whoever it is because he prefers to keep players until their contracts expire and make them lose money that could be used to support their cash flow.
Ferran did not play properly from the beginning he was brought by Barcelona from Manchester City but Xavi remained in a ridiculous way by keeping the player but not giving a decent time to be given the opportunity for Ferran Torres to develop his performance.
In fact, by continuing to be a reserve in the squad,this actually makes the performance and value of Ferran Torres decrease and Xavi sees it, it's just that he seems to turn a blind eye.

I think sooner or later Lewandowski will join Saudi Arabia because the money they want to give for this player is obviously huge and even if they give a share to Barcelona they can use this money to buy younger players and that's what they need right now but I don't think if Barcelona is going to sell Lewandowski any time soon during the winter to the Saudis.

Supposedly, Ferran Torres should have been released last summer. but for some reason, Barcelona or Xavi still keep him. In fact, they could release Raphinha instead of Dembele. but once again, I don't understand why they did something that didn't match the expectations of many of us, even football observers. As for the other players, I don't know for sure, but Alonso is the ideal option that they can release next January. Or, Barca will release him as a free agent next summer.

However, unpleasant rumors are now approaching Lewandowski, it is reported that this Polish striker is an option that will be released by Barcelona. In fact, I don't know the validity of this report. So, I think this is just gossip.
as for being related to Joao Felix, and as Romano reported. If Xavi actually started to like the player from Portugal, he said I want to keep Joao Felix at Barcelona in the long term. I am very happy with Joao and he is happy too. "but it's still too early", the club will have to negotiate. The point is, Xavi is very happy with the two players from Portugal, both Felix and Cancelo.
As for Gavi, referring to Transfermarkt, it is estimated that he will return on June 30 2024.  But actually, I can't confirm its validity. Regarding the discussion in this post, let's see how it develops, especially in January.

If they do end up selling Lewandowski to some Saudi league team, for a lot of money, that would mean that they are going to free up a lot of space, and Joao Felix is not a cheap player but if he can talk to his team and lower his price, then maybe with that sale, they can buy this one, and it will be just equals. Whatever the amount they get for Lewandowski should go to Felix and that would equal everything easily, could be done to improve the team easily and be better about it for sure. They would need a striker in that case, but I think either Felix can be that one, or they could just get a free agent one that doesn't have a contract by the end of the season, they are capable of paying some salary, so they would be able to do that instead.

The probability of his move to SPL is now getting to its nearest possibility. He's not getting any younger no doubt, he's got the skills still in him, SPL are seeing their need in him, he's getting off the age, he needs to lay off well from football, he can still make impact in the SPL before the age beckons totally and he wants an expanded finance too. Now tell me why he won't consider the move by next summer?

 The SPL knows what and how to get what they desire and it's also a good option for players who are gradually approaching the settling down age too, the option is favourable for them. The financial offers are enticing, the benefits are there. If I were Lewandowski, I'd consider all the impacts I've made in past teams and in his current team and just settle for the offer. Not choosing for him though, because he may have a change of mind. But still it won't be a bad move for him, adding that there's rumor of them joining the UEFA games too. So he's still likely to get the audience he needs.

Gavi's injury may be long and this makes Xavi want to buy new players. Felix's option may be good, because he has already started from scratch and will no longer adapt much. But maybe Xavi also has to think because he can't perform optimally after playing very well at Benfica. But it is likely that the transfer fee will be an obstacle, because Barcelona have currently spent a lot of money to buy players.

It's understandable when a fan may feel frustrated with a club showing a slow decision-making process regarding the managerial situation. Constant changes in leadership are often seen as a way to address declining team form. The timing of such decisions is crucial, as it affects how quickly the team can adapt to new strategies and regain momentum. I think that your concern about the limited time for Lyon to adapt to Sampaoli's new strategy is valid. Settling a new manager takes time, and the effectiveness of the transition may depend on how well the players and the coaching staff can synchronize their efforts.

Fans sentiments are an integral part of the profesional football experience, and it's normal for supporters to loud their voice when they feel decisions are delayed or not in the best interest of the club. It remains to be seen how Lyon will respond to the coaching change and whether it will bring about positive transformations for the team.

I think whatever they do, it is definitely going to be very hard for them to actually get out of the relegation zone. Yes, they might see improvements. But the improvements are not going to be quick. Even if they start performing better, the improvements are going to happen later on. I am not saying that the coach is probably not capable. But I don't think the players are going to be able to regain their confidence quickly. It is going to take the players lots of time to actually get confident and also perform consistently. To be honest, at the moment I do not see them performing consistently anytime soon.

Jorge Sampaoli once led Sevilla to qualify for the Champions League for three consecutive seasons and he has also won the Europa League with Sevilla. If this rumor is true then I think Lyon's decision to sign the former Argentina coach is very appropriate because currently they are really slumped at the bottom of the standings after the previous coach was unable to handle the team. Lyon needs a coach who is able to motivate the players to win and also needs a coach who is able to create winning strategies when they play.

So far they are quite at risk of being in the relegation zone because they have only collected seven points from 14 matches. Fabio Grosso's poor record of being unable to manage the team made Lyon sink to the bottom of the standings. Interim coach Pierre Sage has also not been able to give Lyon a win and has suffered two consecutive defeats in two matches. Lyon must take immediate action if they don't want to have difficulty getting out of the relegation zone because if they don't change their coach they will have difficulty getting out of the relegation zone.

As mbappe said that if he will tell us everything after the end of the European competition. that means if PSG will not be able pass the group stage and mbappe is likely telling us the future of his career as a footballer. I strongly believe that if mbappe is going to leave from there.

There have been many articles explained it very well. Even some has been also been making clarification if mbappe will not be extending his contract in the PSG. I think that makes everything clear.
Mbappe is only waiting till the end of PSG's journey in the UCL. This is going to become the main consideration to determine his future in the club. Mbappe just need to learn from what thiago silva had done.

He leaves from PSG after he spent many years with this french club and 0 UCL. He had joined in chelsea then he got what he wanted.

But it's quite ridiculous if in the end when from the beginning they were more holding back even at a very high price but now left on a free transfer.
I think they will still intend to sell Mbappe because after all with the current situation PSG will definitely still try to get a little profit for finances from the sale of Mbappe so instead of them issuing it with a free agent it is likely that they will make the same drama as before so that something like that does not happen.
Mbappe is a money pit for PSG so it would be foolish of them to just let the big money pass them by.

Im waiting for laporta to sell more shares to be used for felix. I think that xavi will try to push him to get felix from atletico madrid. This is not that good for barcelona caused by felix has very small salary. The club needs to pay a lot of money and fees.
Felix's salary needs to be increased as well as long as he will become a permanent transfer. Barcelona really needs a new player at this moment. The club has no choice other than make felix as a permanent player or try to search for a new player that will able to replace him.
Felix is good but his price is not. Atletico madrid will not try to decrease his price and barcelona has no choice other than sell some players. Barcelona has planned to sell some players.
My curiosity has sparked regarding the players that Barcelona will choose to put up for sale. It seems like that some useless players will be kicked out from barcelona.

I think Mbappe would wait till the end of the season to see out his contract with PSG and I also think the club prefers he leaves on a free transfer because leaving in January to Real Madrid means he won't play UCL matches again this season having played for PSG in current UCL and I don't think a high profile player like him would prefer to sit on bench throughout the knockout stages of the UCL with European competition coming in the next summer, the only option is whether Mbappe would extend his contract at PSG or the club would allow him to leave on a free transfer thus losing huge some of money.

Indeed, changing teams does not necessarily make a coach good for the career he is pursuing, but at least he has had experience of managing quite strong teams in Europe's top leagues. However, this also does not guarantee that Lyon will recover from adversity and perhaps it will be up to their management to consider choosing the right coach.

I'm quite worried that if Jorge Sampaoli fails to get Lyon out of the relegation zone, then that will be Lyon's umpteenth sacking. However, I quite hope that there are other candidates before deciding on Jorge Sampaoli as the new coach. The two players you mentioned haven't recorded good statistics at their new clubs and maybe that's just the adjustment they need. The rest goes back to the club's internal problems in determining the right coach to navigate this season.

Whether Madrid or another club is still a big question mark, but what is certain is that Kylian Mbappe departure from PSG will be quite hot news. The reason is that the Media is still linked with Madrid even though Madrid has stated that there have been no further negotiations since last season offer which was rejected by Kylian Mbappe. Now we are guessing whether Kylian Mbappe will decide his fate at PSG by extending his contract or trying to challenge himself in the most difficult competition namely the EPL. It's not impossible that this could happen it's just that the most reasonable recruits still strongly support going to Madrid.

Casemiro role at Manchester United is very important, but that alone is not enough when you see several players who cannot match what Casemiro wants. There are many incompatibilities especially currently the Manchester United players continue to lose trust in the coach. So it's not just problems on the field even outside the bar everything doesn't show harmony with each other. There are so many thick walls blocking each other. As a result it is difficult to build teamwork Casemiro sees this as a serious problem. A club with ownership that has not changed a coach who is not clear about where to take this club and the limited funds provided by Glazer in the transfer market have become obstacles to maximizing purchases and problems with players and coaches have occurred this rarely happens at any club so they decided to remove him from the flat. main squad.

My advice is that Casemiro takes Al Nasrr offer because there he will feel free from burden.

Well considering he has a contract, if he runs down his contract and doesn't sign back up again, then there is a very valid possibility that he could do that. Plus, in a world where they do have both Vini J.r, Mbappe and Haaland, they would be the best team ensembled probably ever, and even if not, we can say one of the best and in history Real has built some of the best teams ever.

I think the only problem would be both Vini and Mbappe plays at left, so you would be forcing one of them to go towards the other side, which isn't a smart decision to be fair because the yare great at where they play and playing in another position may not be all that great. All in all, I do not think that they will buy any of these players, just get them when they run down their contract and they just pay them a salary, considering how much money they have, paying some more salary would not hurt their finances neither because they are very much in big profit right now.

After Manchester City won the European Champions League which was their main objective for many years, they started to sell a lot of players and let go of some players, now it's Kalvin Phillips' turn to leave Manchester City, according to Frabrizio Romano:


things are not going well for him this season, when the previous coach was there, he created a formation in which the talisca had greater chances of scoring goals, but with the arrival of ronaldo and the entire marketing campaign around ronaldo the Talisca, who was the team's savior, was completely forgotten and placed in a position where he should not be the center of attention. look at the man, he was always a good and outstanding player, but that was at liverpool because the liverpool coach put him in a position where he was allowed to be the center of attention, when he left liverpool to go to bayern at that whole time That attention he managed to get disappeared and today he is a simple Al Nassr player along with Talisca

Honestly, lyon was very very slow in taking the decision for the club. Lyon should do that since it was going down. It's too late for lyon to do that. The club has very short time to adapt with the new strategy that will be used by sampaoli.
Lyon should do that once the club has been showing decline on its performance. I hope that anyone will be aware about how garbage lyon is. Im not even feling good with the new coach.

It seems like that there will be no chance in lyon even after it was recruiting a new coach. I think that lyon fans were also feeling disappointed with how the management was too long in taking the decision regarding the coach.

A new center back would be introduced since Jonny Evans would be leaving at the end of the season, with Victor Lindelof now Injured, Manchester United would not want to let him go. Though some serious changes needs to be done.
Big Ups to Harry Maguire, but I felt like, Anthony Gordon should have won the November player of the month over Harry Maguire. Two of his three goals are wins for his club Newcastle. I don't really rate Harry Maguire too highly, he lacks pace and that's a big issue with modern day football.

I agree with Casemiro, he can stay for a year longer but he's been linked with a switch to Al Nassr. How would they shape with Crotian Brozovic and Casemiro together? That's too defensive. Anyways, I move!!

Even though Lewandowski is an important player that Barcelona has, in my opinion, gradually Xavi will definitely let go of the striker, especially after Lewandowski suffered an injury, Lewandowski's goal productivity began to decline and his performance was no longer as sharp as before, it is not easy to replace a player who has almost the same potential. with Lewandowski but Xavi can start thinking about other options because it is impossible for Xavi to just rely on Lewandowski, whose age is increasing and his stamina will definitely decline over time.
For this season, it doesn't matter if Xavi still keeps the striker because if Xavi suddenly looks for a striker in the middle of the season then it will make things difficult for him because it's not certain that the new striker will able to adapt well.
However after this season is over I hope Xavi can think about it to find a better replacement for Lewandowski and selling to Saudi Arabia would be a good profit for the Barcelona club.
