It's strange to see Florentino Perez, who is usually very active when the transfer window is available, but now making a statement that he will be on hiatus in the January transfer window, even though his team is facing an injury crisis and there should be a new face to fill the hole.

But I think that might just be his strategy, so he can close the deal quietly without worrying the other teams who might also be eyeing their targets. Let's just see if all his words will be true or again he will make a surprise.

Yeah this is no surprise to me honestly. Because if I'm not wrong Al-Ittihad was the Saudi team making an offer to sign him before. But as it was out of transfer window in Europe, Liverpool didn't want to consider it much.

But now I think the probability of seeing him leaving is higher than ever. Salah actually seems open for new contract offer by Liverpool. But there is no such negotiation yet.


They have been after Gyökeres for quite a long time. At first Sporting wanted too much for him. It must be around 100 million euros which was his release clause. By the way rather than Isak I would push for Osimhen as he is going to be available for 75 million euros.  

Salah's future is now on Liverpool's hand. He has said it louder his team has not yet handed him a new contract extension. I was seeing it as a signal form him if he wants stay much longer in his current club. Many fans are also chanting the club to extend his contract as soon as possible.

Salah has a half of season remaining at his current club, and i hope Slot will help him on this. It will really disappoint us if he leaves at the end of season.

This season their hopes of being able to become a contender for the UCL title with the current unequal squad condition very small, the number of injured players, the lack of team cohesion and also the poor performance shown by Madrid at this time actually shows the need for significant changes in their squad, with the current condition of course Ancelotti needs some new players, especially in their defensive line which is too fragile at the moment,  But I think with Perez previous statement that he does not want to enter the transfer market in January later, of course it hints for us not to expect too much from Madrid this season, because it will be difficult for Ancelotti to return to their form later.

It seems like the news about Mbappe is getting hotter after making a mistake and I think isn't it too early to say Mbappe failed?
I know how we feel as bettors or maybe as Madrid fans, but I prefer to think logically that there will be nothing easy to fight with a big team with several other players.
I also always say and repeatedly say that Mbappe is likely to experience a decline in mentality and must adapt longer because he previously competed in a league that was not too big and now has to compete strongly in a bigger league.
We have to be patient to see how far Mbappe will end this season. Will he end up successful or will he continue to perform badly.

They just got Mbappe who they gave a signing bonus and receives a high salary. Vinicius also receives a high salary, so it's not easy to get another expensive player that will get a high salary. If you notice, Madrid is eyeing a lot of free players next summer like Arnold, Davis and a few more. They want to use that strategy to balance the books. The media not focusing on it doesn't mean they have the luxury to sign whoever they want, they're just in a better place than Barcelona.

Madrid has a lot to do if they want to have a very good team again. The midfield they have is not good enough. They have ball winners in the midfield, but they're not creative enough and they're not press resistance enough so when they get the ball, if the opponent presses them, they'll either lose it or not do anything meaningful with it. They need a defensive midfielder like Rodri and a CM like Kroos, but I wouldn't mind if they go for a more creative attacking midfielder like Wirtz and join him with Camavinga and a DM in midfield. Even their defence needs a lot f work. They need another CB, they need a RB and  a LB. Mendy is not good enough and Cavajal is old and injury prone. Its achievable if they put their mind to it.
Right now, what could have saved Madrid is if the front 3 of Vini, Mbappe and Rodrygo clicked well and all on top form, but unfortunately, only Vini has shown that he's ready to carry the weight of Real Madrid.

Its big problem for Carlo Ancelotti have many player out due injury and most of them take around three until four weeks later for recovery, Real Madrid have two matches every week until play at FIFA Club World Cup at the next month and Carlo Ancelotti must be smart how to make rotation avoid get other players have been injury. I think Real Madrid president Florentino Perez must prepare much money for signing new players when January window transfer opening or Madrid will get difficult keep in La Liga or UEFA Champion League tittle race in this season.

For Champion League match, have many days take recovery after around three weeks but Madrid get busy schedule matches in domestic league match and will play at FIFA World Club match before facing Atalanta, however when January window transfer opening Madrid must sign new player at the early window transfer opening or difficult keep in the tittle race.

after they allowed MANE to leave the club and go to Al Nasir, refusing to initiate another contract with Muhamed salah will only suggest that they don't want to enjoy this era that is gradually getting to them now that they have a great chance of winning both the premier league and the champions league with the help of Muhamed salah considering that both man city and Liverpool are both struggling in both tournament. how can you let go of your highest goal scorer at a time when you need him the most? at the time he had some fracas with Jürgen Klopp, it was getting clear that he isn't in the best of relationship with the club but that should not be enough reason to allow him to go out from the club at this important period.

even though salah is already 32 and will be 33 by June next year, going to the Saudi league at a time he is still firing will not be the best of decision. his openness to the media regarding Liverpool's refusal the extend his contract is an indication that he is willing to stay as long as the club wants him to stay. it's now left for the club to release a statement about the fate of the Egyptian Stricker but regardless of the decision, salah is not something that another club wouldn't rush at if Liverpool are not interested in him again   

I think Man City is still able to pay salaries to its players even though they are relegated they still have enough finances to pay those salaries, City will also not last long in the Championship I think in just one season they will return to the EPL and become a strong club there again after that they can generate income as usual.

Are you joking? Mbappe was successful in PSG caused by any players should have feed him with the ball. He had Messi and Neymar helped him, yet no UCL trophy for him. You call Mbappe successful at PSG, but he never won UCL, weird. 

I'm sorry, but Mbappe has decided to choose Hazard's path, he's gonna be a flop. People were very weird to labelled him as the next Ronaldo. Mbappe is finished, and i hope they put him off the pitch. Real Madrid better without him. 

Salah has said in previous interviews that he does not want to retire yet and that is why he has no thoughts of Saudi Arabia. When we look at his statistics, we see that he is still one of the best in the world, he is at the top of the league. He also said that he wanted to be successful in the Champions League. So no matter how much money they offer, I think Salah will want to play in a team where he can become a champion right now. Maybe in a few years we can see him in Saudi Arabia to make money, but for now I don't think that will happen at all

I am sure Salah will be fine, he will either stay at Liverpool, do great success there for some more seasons, and have some fun and make a decent amount of money, or even if he is out, then he will go to Saudi league and make 100 million a year or something. It's not really that much of a troubled situation he is in, because either case makes him be happy or at least he should be happy.

I have seen him be unprofessional before, we have all seen him during covid time with him attending wedding and all that, none of that was stopping Liverpool from giving him more and more, maybe it's time Salah gives them some time this way they could make a better decision. He deserves a contract, but what kind of contract is questionable at the moment.

Saudi ìs wants to sign Mohamed Salah for the next season.
Manchester United is moving for Tomas Araujo for 60 mil €.
Marc Guehi is ok in rejoining Chelseas.
Arsenal need a new striker and the target is Viktor Gyokeres, also Alexander Isak is on the list.
Duglas  Luiz has been offered to both Manchesters.

The strongest cannot remain strong forever, there must be some unforeseen circumstances that will play around and make them become vegetables. No one saw this misfortune falling on Real Madrid this season, because I could remember when Real Madrid signed the deal with Mbappe, Florentino Pérez Rodríguez said that Madrid would win the champion league for the 15th time, but look at the club currently being paralyzed by injury. The two strongest club that we were expecting something big from them these season are facing difficulties. What an unpredictable future.

Ancelotti made this team Champions League champions last year. Everyone expected a similar performance this year, but injuries have been a problem for Real Madrid this year. They could not take the field with the ideal squad. The absences in the Liverpool match were too many. They will probably make it to the playoffs, but they will be criticized a lot for not being among the top 8 teams.

It will be a tough job for Real Madrid, too many key players are injured, but strangely Florentino Perez still shows no interest in recruiting new players. I mean Madrid is financially stable and what's wrong with a little extravagance in buying players for the good of the club. Don't be surprised if Real Madrid in the Champions League suffers bad luck after losing badly at Anfield. Being in 24th place in the standings is enough to give the coach a red light.

So far we have seen that there is nothing special about their main squad Madrid, all players will only get a starting spot if they can show good performance so far, but I don't see that exactly the same applies for Mbappe, we know if Mbappe has been Madrid main target and they managed to get him for free last summer, So I think there is an agreement behind the scenes that requires Mbappe to get a special place in the current Madrid squad, and it is clear how Ancelotti still includes his in the main line-up although his performance is quite bad, besides that the position given to Vinicius to Mbappe actually indicates that Mbappe seems to have a special agreement when joining Madrid, even though we saw the change in position precisely just ruin Madrid game scheme at the moment, I think if Ancelotti dares to back up Mbappe and try to implement the formation and game scheme like last season, then maybe Madrid will be able to rise now.

I don't even dvck with this Jamie Carragher guy, people who do are fundamentally dump the same way as him, just as Jose Mourinho said years back, he talks too much for a guy who wasn't close to a top defender in the premier league competition. I don't agree with most of his takes as they're mostly one sided. Mo Salah has done enough and if Liverpool fans can't see that for themselves,  then I don't know what to say further. Mo Salah gone definitely leave fr! Ain't no two way bout it.

But in fact we see that Mbappe is given privileges by Florentino Perez and Ancelotti where Vinicius position is given to him according to what Mbappe wants. While when he was brought in number 9, it was a striker to replace Benzema in midfield. My question now is what makes Madrid perform badly because of the players or the coach who has passed his golden age? Personally maybe it's time for Ancelotti to be self aware and hand over the coaching position to younger and more modern hands.

I don't think there is any problem between Real Madrid players, Mbappe is not performing this season and that doesn't mean that he is the reason why Real Madrid lost against Liverpool or why Real Madrid is having a bad performance this season, Real Madrid best players are injured this season and if we look at the players that got injured they are all Real Madrid important players, I know Mbappe don't perform well as the team expects from him but I think he needs time to adapt to the team.

Mbappe is a big player and people will always expect him to play well any time, but I also blame the Real Madrid team and the coach for the team's performance, Real Madrid never played a single season without no a proper striker, Mbappe is not a proper striker that can score with his head and anywhere in the field and I expect Real Madrid to have a good striker that is mature not a player like Endrick, if we look at last season, Real Madrid uses Joselu sometimes and they will win the game because Joselu knows how to score with his head and know how to score goals, I expect Real Madrid to sign more players before the League should start but they did not and I blame the coach for that, the same thing happen for Pep Guardiola too because Pep Guardiola and Ancelotti always think that even if they did not sign players they can still perform well and win trophies every season.
