Real Madrid is still after Trent as it seems. Because there is still no extension made by Liverpool and in January there are going to be 6 months left.

In this situation Real Madrid can really push the button for this signing. They have been rumoured with him for a long time if you remember. Finally it might happen for real.

I don't like Trent in defense. But he is really great in offense.  Smiley  But I wonder if Real Madrid cares about this or not. Because Carvajal is impressive in both fields. If they intend to fill his place then they should be sure of what they are looking for.
Real Madrid are indeed very smart in recruiting players, they see Trent has so far rejected all new contract offers from Liverpool and has not responded to the latest offer. Real Madrid immediately made contact with Trent whose contract will expire in 2025, if he has been persuaded by Real, it is not impossible that Trent will be obtained by Real Madrid for free.

However, considering that Carvajal is currently injured, I don't think Real Madrid wants to wait until his contract ends, I heard that Real Madrid is serious about bringing in Trent in the near future by offering another option by exchanging Tchuameni to secure Trent because Liverpool also want a midfielder.

It will be interesting to see if Liverpool will consider releasing one of their defenders, even in the hope of getting a quality midfielder like Tchuameni. If this deal happens, then this could be one of the most important transfers for both teams.

Indeed, this season Man United looks bad under Ten Hag's coaching but it doesn't feel necessary to judge him so quickly because it needs to be remembered that building a team is not an instant thing, especially a club as big as Man United. Maybe Man United's rivals hope he remains the coach so that Man United continues to slump. However, it could be that behind all the criticism, there are those who want this situation to continue for their own benefit. After all, who doesn't like to see Man United stuck in uncertainty like this considering the club's long history as one of the biggest clubs in Europe.
This season is Ten Hag's third season as a coach for Manchester United and that is quite a long time for a coach to develop a team. So for now it is very natural for Ten Hag to receive more criticism from Manchester United fans because he has wasted a lot of time while the Manchester United team continues to deteriorate until this season. So for now, it is no longer about instant or needing time for Ten Hag to fix this, but Ten Hag must find a way so that the team does not continue to slump throughout the season before new criticism comes to him again in the middle of the season.
Yeah, Ten Hag has enough time to improve his team, but yet nothing to show in terms of team performance improvement, he is not more valuable to Manchester United fans, they are all waiting for him to be sacked by the management because many teams are improving except Manchester United, and their performance in the European competition is getting worse.
The management of Manchester is still supporting him and they trust the process, they don't want to sack him maybe because he won two trophies for the team in his first two seasons.

I don't think Ten Hag has any excuse to give fans now because the management supported him from the beginning and they helped him to sign all his desired players, and yet nothing has changed which I think is from him since we are seeing how bad he is in terms of team selection.
Therefore, Manchester United fans have the right to call for his sack because it seems like even the players have started to play against him.

Marsille has been denied as possible destination for Pogba.
The president of Juventus release and interview also saying that they are speaking with their agent.

He explained basically that the player is not playing for 2 years now so I guess or he will take an huge deduction on his salary (at the moment he has no salary paid) or his contract will be terminated.
As he was banned from football for a long period of time due to his offence, the club must not pay him extra for his ban. He might not be paid but the French midfielder would have been the happiest if Juventus had kept him at their club again but Juventus would not have kept the player at their club and ended his contract. If the player is not signed with Juventus, where could his next destination be? Having been out of football for a long time, he will naturally have to work hard and prove again that the midfield is still effective. If another club feels that taking this player would be useful in their midfield, then another club may make an offer for this player, but at the moment there is no such possibility from any other club.

What a poor start and if he doesn't win against Brentford United, it'll definitely make the situation worse. I'm a staunch fan and I know what's lacking but you have to back him until the day the management shows him the exit. He has the experience already, but the style of football he is trying to play has not clicked and some players are lazy ASF. Games against Brighton, Crystal Palace and Twente has shown his tactics working but the attackers need to score goals. The defenders have done quite well. Finally, Back the Boss till the last day.

Martín Zubimendi the player at Real Sociedad was recently invited to Manchester City to play there and they showed interest in hiring this Spanish player because of the performance of Zubimendi in Real Sociedad.
Since Rodri the effective player of Manchester City got injured they were trying to find another player to fill his place in the team and Zubimendi was one of these palyer and Manchester City can pay 66 million euros to hire Zubimendi but it seems this won't be that easy for them because Zubimendi said he doesn't want to leave Sociedad and prefers to stay in La Liga.

I think at the moment he just needs a chance and the trust of the coach, so if he can get it of course he can show his prowess in playing, Ancelotti will probably give him more opportunities as time goes on, but I think to get that opportunity of course he has to keep working hard to get it because currently Madrid is filled with a lot of talented players.
Being in a team that has great players will indeed be very difficult to get a regular playing place and that's what Arda experienced but he can improve his quality because he will definitely get the chance to play even if only as a substitute. Real Madrid plays a lot of competitions so it is likely that Ancelotti will rotate and in that condition it is likely that Arda will get the chance to play.

Let's just see how the rotation is done by Ancelotti and we hope he gets the chance to play more often so that he can continue to be a part that is needed by the team in the future.
I understand the situation of Arda Guler who does not want to leave Madrid even as a loan player. Firstly because he is worried that if he is loaned out when there is an empty position it will be overtaken by other players, secondly, his young age sees his closeness to Ancelotti like father and son, if he is loaned out it is not certain that when he returns to Madrid he will get the same treatment. Ancelotti seems to have high hopes for Arda, although he has not been able to provide regular playing time but at least Arda development is always monitored.

Despite ending the 2023/24 season with impressive performance, Arda Guler is still struggling to become a regular player in Ancelotti squad because he lost out to other senior players. Especially after the arrival of Mbappe and Endrick, his chances of getting playing minutes are very small. In my opinion, Real Madrid should use his natural talent as a long-term investment. It would be better if Guler is loaned to another club so that he can get regular playing time to hone his talent. This move will greatly benefit Real Madrid in the future.

With the emergence of star rookie Kylian Mbappe alongside pillars who have firmly established their class such as Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo, Arda Güler's chances of being named in the starting lineup are very rare. In fact, Arda Güler's lack of defensive contribution was the main reason why Ancelotti decided not to play him regularly. Guler needs to practice physical training and defense skills. Not using skills when not needed, focusing more on the task, participating in defensive tasks, and with more intensity - something he lacked before. Only then can he be trusted by Ancelotti and have the opportunity to play more regularly.

As I said before, there are rumors about Arda Güler, and yet this is not confirmed by anyone anymore. All we know is that Mourinho wants to hire this player for Fenerbahçe after the other team in this league hired Osimhen. Now Fenerbahçe doesn't want to lose the race, and they also want to improve the teams.
When Güler joined Real Madrid, he couldn't perform well in the first days because of injury, but he improved over time. Now, I don't think Real Madrid wants to lose this player, considering his age and talent. Maybe they will just get Güler on loan.
Andriy Lunin, signed in Jul 2018, never played, Real Madrid loaned him to Leganes. After that Real Madrid choose to loaned him to Real Valladoid and then Real Oviedo. Now, as we can see Lunin becomes second goalkeeper.

Valverde, signed in Jul 2016, but he played for Castilla and in the next year Real Madrid loaned him to Deportivo La Coruna. Now, as we can see he become one of the best midfielder that always become starter.

I don't see anything wrong if Guler loaned to other teams as a stepping stone.
The loan of the player should indeed be done by Madrid at this time in order to make him continue to develop, but what Madrid did by not lending him to other teams of course has a strong and relevant reason, previously many teams tried to recruit and tried to borrow Arda from Madrid but Arda actually preferred to stay because indeed Ancelotti had given him the certainty to play in the main squad,  Indeed, so far Arda has not been the main player of Madrid but we can see how he is able to make a big contribution when the other main players are injured, Arda very young age in my opinion allows him can to have a strong mentality because he competes with the great players who are in Madrid today.

Jose Mourinho has much work to do in Fenerbahçe. Don't forget that last season, the club finished second and qualified for a European championship. Currently, the Special One has managed to take them to the fourth position, which is below expectations.

Arda Guler deserves more playing time which he will not get in Real Madrid currently. The number of stars in Madrid will always relegate this gifted Turkish star to the bench. Maybe Mourinho wants to use the opportunity to get the player on loan because Real will not be willing to let him leave permanently. The player is seen as the future of Real Madrid, so they will want him to come back when there is an opening for him. Galatasaray got Victor Osimhen cheaply, but I doubt if Los Blancos will let Guler leave without any financial obligations to the Spanish side.
While I agree about Arda Guler needing more playing time to improve, there is a balance in this kind of situation for younger players. Meaning, Arda would improve himself a lot more if he stayed at Real Madrid and play only on some games and only on later stages of the game, he still gets 15-20 minutes a game in most games unless it's a very close or important game, we see him play there time to time, not a lot of minutes, not as much as he needs to play, he needs to play a lot more.

However, if he goes to Fenerbahce, this would be a team he can play all 90 minutes every game and he still wouldn't improve as much as he improves just from training at Real Madrid, he can't drop that low, he needs to be loaned to a team at least in UCL, not back to Turkey.

ancelotti come sempre è riuscito a mettere sempre nella migliore condizione di giocare tutti i giocatori presenti in rosa
questo è per dire che lui è molto ma molto preparato come allenatore, facendo vedere al mondo di quello che è capace con la sua preparazione, basti guardare quello che ha fatto con vinicius jr, e tutti gli altri

For now Ten Hag is still the head coach and will continue to be so until we hear otherwise, after all, the team has begun to play better than last season and with new additions including the management back room staff am sure they would be as lucky, if not luckier than last season when they only won the FA cup.

As regarding the news about De Bruyne and Pep Guardiola having a contract extension, it is in play and we might see either a two year contract for both parties unless De Bruyne decides to leave for bigger pay.
Ten Hag got a good chance this season to immediately provide an increase and from the current results at EPL, Man United is indeed a little better but Ten Hag still has to continue to struggle to strengthen the team with several different tactics and strategies to produce more stable performance.

And related to KDB that will extend the contract actually could have happened, but for me to extend the contract for 2 seasons something very long and Man City should not take the risk. It would be better to extend another 1 season's contract and Guardiola must also immediately find a suitable player to replace the KDB position. Because I'm sure sooner or later De Bruyne prefers to join the SPL team.
I think all of Manchester United's rivals want Ten Hag to stay as long as possible, because as long as he coaches Manchester United there is no serious threat to the team and as long as United are going through the worst scenario since 1989, in fact 35 years have not seen such a bad start to the season in Manchester.

Surprisingly, I just read that Marseille wants Pogba. Reading your post, I immediately surfed to get more information. Apparently, there are many newspapers reporting that Marseille has been in advanced discussions with Paul Pogba, for several weeks to recruit him in January. Source: journalist Malick Traore. However, I did not find what you said. I will quote it, "Marsille has been denied as possible destination for Pogba". Referring to Romano's latest report regarding this player, the Juventus CEO confirmed that they are negotiating with Pogba and his camp to find a solution. The solution is clear, only the terms must be agreed. But Pogba will leave Juventus and become a free agent. Other news also, Poga is linked to MLS and Saudi Pro League.

Recently Paul Pogba linked to MLS League teams but still need waiting until the January transfer window opening, after mutual contract agreement reach between Juventus and Paul Pogba he will be free agent on next window transfer opening but have wait until March next years to make his debut.
Marseille make huge top players transfer after last signing Rabiot with free agent due his contract expiry with Juventus and could be good reunion with Paul Pogba linked to Marseille although have opportunities with few matches only before end this season.

Paul Pogba is top and most talented players, but since most of injury faced make him difficult return back to the top performance until get suspended from FIFA almost one year more. Left few months for him returning back and still waiting his team future keep stays with European clubs or joining with Saudi pro League teams or MLS League teams.

People will always get criticised, whether good or bad, what matters is taking the decision which you feels is good form your,  you aren't living anybodys life, Klopp's decisions to return to football activities after couple of months should be no one problem regardless of what he said initially, and after ending almost a decade contract with Liverpool.
I wonder why the hate or criticism, I guessed majority are just jealous and would have wanted him as a coaching consultant for their club or any other thing as long as he is with them, since everyone can agree he is an excellent coach, guess we can say a great one. At least we all should be happy, he's not entirely leaving football.

Klopp is returning to football, but not as a coach but as a global leader in the Red Bull system. He will work with coaches and do consulting work for teams such as Leipzig, Salzburg, New York, Bragantino, Omiya Ardija, and he will start working on January 1, 2025. I suspect that money played a big role in this decision. After that, he received a lot of criticism, and explained that as he said before, he does not want to return to football as a coach, but he still loves football and wants to be involved in the development of football.
Actually it doesn't matter even though Jurgen Kloop returned to the world of football as far as I know he never said to really stop he just said he wanted to rest for a while and so far he has been on a break for almost half a year so if he returns to the world of football there should be no one to criticize, it is the right of Jurgen Kloop who decides to return to coaching or not. I am actually happy if he returns even though he is no longer the Liverpool coach because the club has also found a new coach who is no less good. Jurgen Kloop is a wise person so it is only natural that Red Bull is interested in Jurgen Kloop to become a consultant.


People forget that certain things can play a role for someone to have a second thought on their initial decision, several coaches after being sack or retired from a certain club decides to take a break for a while, some stay longer before they resume coaching again, for instance (Zidane) but in Klopp's own case he made it public after his retirement from Liverpool that he won't resume coaching in another club immediately and would rest for a while before assuming coaching duties again, moreover the period he's stayed without any managerial role is enough time for one to rest, he mustn't stay away for a longer period beyond this so I wonder why the criticism on the media regarding the news of his possible assumption of coaching duties, it's a matter of choice and it's his choice take any decision he feels is best for him. It would be lovely to watch Klopp coaching again, moreover he's not coming back as a coach but a consultant to the Red Bull footballing company. Well I love what Kloop did at Liverpool and I think it would've been lovely to see him assume coaching duties to being a consultant.
People will always get criticised, whether good or bad, what matters is taking the decision which you feels is good form your,  you aren't living anybodys life, Klopp's decisions to return to football activities after couple of months should be no one problem regardless of what he said initially, and after ending almost a decade contract with Liverpool.

Laws are made and later changed, so no decision is always the final, Our views can change as regards to what we might have tthought before. Wishing Klopp another good time at Red -Bulls club, now not as a coach but as a coaching consultant.

I know Fenerbahçe's coach, Mourinho, is a world-class coach. But it doesn't mean it's right destination for Arda Güler to go there. Unless he wants a career suicide, he should stay here, in Real Madrid, as the next upcoming talent. He needs to be developed in a competitive league to form his performance and mentality.

I admit that benching Arda Güler at Real might hinder his development. But there are better loan options for him soon. Anyway, I think he should stay, and i belive he will shine later once he gets a proper club to be loaned. He still has enough time to develop himself. There's no need to rush.

Arda Güler already stated before that he wasn't intending to join back Fenerbahçe soon. Loan or permanent move, it doesn't matter. Therefore I just expect those rumours to stay as they are.  Smiley

Yeah he is benched by Ancelotti most of the time and it is frustrating for any young and talented player who is very eager to play more and prove themselves. But Real Madrid is full of stars so he has no choice other than being patient.

If he was playing for Barcelona for example then maybe he could play much longer. I'm not saying it to underestimate their squad, don't get me wrong. I'm just trying to say that Barcelona gives more chances to youngsters.

Chelsea's insistence on Victor Osimhen continues. Napoli will be forced to let the player go if the 81 million Euro contract termination fee is paid at half-time. Osimhen, who is currently on loan at Galatasaray, will have a release clause of 75 million Euro at the end of the season if he doesn't move to another club at half-time. There are also reports that Galatasaray want to buy Osimhen, but I find them very unrealistic. No club in Türkiye has the economy to pay such a huge fee.
Galatasaray actually was very satisfied to the performance of Osimhen so that's why they want Osimhen to stayed for at least until this season ended and indeed to buy Osimhen Galatasaray has good advantages because only them who can bought Osimhen from Napoli with 75 million this january but i don't think this ambition can be realize considering Galatasaray is cannot be categorize as rich team in Europa and i think they don't dare to buy Osimhen on that price and for Chelsea actually since last summer they have been linked to Osimhen but the transfer was cancelled and Osimhen loaned to Galatasaray but i think this news also still not certain but i believe after winter transfer opened there will be a team who willing to pay according to his clause and it could be Chelsea or other teams
