If this is true, then in the current conditions, working as a sports director may well be a good option for Zinedine Zidane to feel the atmosphere of work at the club again, because there was still some break in professional activity with a further prospect of returning to coaching in the future. And in the future, Zidane, if he still has the desire and ambitions as a coach, and I think these ambitions have remained, could already return to full-fledged activity as the head coach of the football team.

This is indeed the best thing for Eden Hazard to do after his spell at Madrid wasn't successful.I remember his days at Chelsea when he was like their God,he was the best player in their team at that time,and won so many things with Chelsea,but ever since he left for Madrid, everything about his career changed,he couldn't get the minutes  he gets at Chelsea anymore,he felt he has made a wrong choice leaving Standford bridge to Madrid.He tried moving on,but it wasn't just going as planned,so the best thing was to retire,which he did,and it's the best.
I thought he was going to go back to Chelsea to try and revive his football career,but he has chosen to retire.I wish him all the best.

While the transfer window of this summer is already closed but there are still rumors about Mbapp and the next destination he wants to choose during the next summer. Jose Manuel Otero from Real Madrid said they want to hire Mbappe from PSG in the next year and I think that's the first time someone from Real Madrid speaks clearly about Mbappe and PSG. Maybe there is even a chance for PSG to take legal action against Real Madrid because of this player.

That wasn't totally an unexpected move regarding his repetitive injuries, epic failure with his team, being labeled as the worst transfer of Real Madrid...although he isn't considered as old and could keep playing for more than 3 - 4 years.
I definitely understand him and I support his decision since he wasn't helpful for long time.

Eden Hazard retired before football left us satisfied. If he had stayed at Chelsea instead of Real Madrid, maybe he would be playing differently today. He was a great player during his time at Chelsea, but his Real Madrid career did not go as he wanted. I wish he had not retired and played football a little more.

Believe Lionel Messi would be accepted immediately into Barcelona, but no so sure if he is considering playing along with Cristiano Ronaldo.

Good one! Zidane strength can only be seen when he handles and manages a side with players of high quality. He can't really coach a club with players like that in the Paris League 1 Champions.
Last coaching job with Real Madrid and he fumbled at some points. I would love to see how how he handles younger talents. Just same way Xabi Alonso is doing.

Wayne Rooney has literally moved from one club to another as a manager and have failed, I really do hope he's focused on his new job and not get worried over countries that are not his.

It was the best option for Eden Hazard to get retired because he was ready to disappointing recently.
Eden Hazard was definitely the worst transfer Real Madrid ever had, because They spent a huge amount of money to hire this palyer from Chelsa because he was performing well there but in Real Madrid, he could have the same performance and he got injured periodically that's why he left this team even before his contract ends.

Let's wait and clarify, and I researched carefully. This is also a rumor. Zidane has yet to find a new job after leaving Real Madrid in the summer of 2021. Despite receiving many attractive invitations, the French military leader still did not agree. Zidane's ambition is to aim for the position of head coach of the French national team, currently held by coach Didier Deschamps. If the information about him returning to Marseille Club is true. This is just a stepping stone for him to get closer to the position of coach of the French national team.
Regarding information about Messi, he still seems to be a question mark. Since leaving the Catalan giants in 2021, Messi has been rumored many times to return to Camp Nou as a perfect ending. However, He abandoned that hope and an offer from Saudi Arabia to move to MLS to sign with Inter Miami. And Speculation about Messi has once again increased unexpectedly.

This is actually a dilemma in my opinion, let's say this is not a rumor and becomes a reality then when Messi's performance does not match expectations whether he will return unwanted by Barcelona and be labeled as a form of failure in one of the competitions if Barcelona fails. Instead of doing that I think they don't have to force things like this because with his age now even though it's good because the exposure is still there, Barcelona and Messi also have to consider the worst possibility.

On the other hand, for Zidane, it is still a question mark about this because until now the news is still very confusing and before there is confirmation from those concerned we still only have to wait.

It's overhyped in my opinion. For a player whose majority of goals are majority of goals are tap-ins and blanks whenever he is up against much tougher defenders. It's simply over hyped at this point and I would be really surprised to see teams that would be brave enough to trigger his release clause. I have no issue with Haaland and as a matter of fact, he's one of my players tight now and I have him in my FPL but for the sheer fact that the price tag you mentioned is too high for a player of his caliber.

Yes, football is not all about money, it involves other important things to earn such a prestigious name in the world today. Financial benefits and freedom is part of it because good players leave their old team for another team because of better pay even in European football. European football have earned themselves a very big name that no other nations league can compare themselves to that, that is the reason why Europe football is the widely watched and followed football in the world.

Saudi Professional Football is a completely different league, yet their football has recently received a lot of attention, viewership, and good players. I'm just keeping an eye on things; if the Saudi Football League continues in this manner, they will be able to compete with European football in a few years.

These are all rumoured c'mon, Victor Oshime won't want to be part of Arsenal, I read they're in for Ivan Toney. Chelsea is the best way for Victor Oshime to end he will leave at the end of the season and that sure. Moving to Arsenal that doesn't suits him is not wise. I really do hope he makes a good decision ahead.

Fifteen Trophies for Eden Hazard and that's a good achievement even though not enough to some critics. He achieved the Premier League in a remarkable season with Antonio Conte as head manager.
Gabriel Jesus for exchange thats not happening he will not move to Napoli. The Premier League suits him well though.

Erling Haaland has a contract with City until 2027, apart from that I doubt that Erling Haaland will make the decision to leave Manchester City in the near future if someone wants his services. ideally, he will remain with TheCitizen for the next few seasons. Even though there are clubs who dare to redeem Haaland's clause, it is not certain that he will be willing to leave Manchester City. I'm sure Haaland is well aware that Pep is the way in his career to achieve what he wants apart from the League championship trophy. What is certain is that Haaland also wants to make personal achievements or wants to get various awards to become one of the best players. Through Manchester City he was able to break through directly to win the treble in his first season. In fact, on several occasions ago, Haaland said that he did not expect that his first season at the Etihad Stadium would immediately bear sweet and very historic results for him and also for the club and team.

Haaland is a great player, but thanks to Pep Guardiola he has also developed even further.  In the following seasons, he has the potential to win many personal awards including the Ballon d'Or. But, we agree with what you said. What is certain is that City will not let go of their star player and will retain him by binding him to renew his contract terms so that the potential for him to leave in the near future does not occur.

You obviously got something wrong here and you also missed the development that Inter Miami has undergone ever since Messi joined the club. Just as a reminder, most of the last few games that Inter Miami lost were played without Messi because he is trying to recover from an injury. When Messi newly arrived, Inter Miami started an unprecedented phase of success. They won one game after another and Messi scored nonstop goals and assisted his teammates. I guess you have either not followed closely enough what is going on there or you felt it was due to bash Messi once again.

I didn't really expect he will have retired by now. I thought he will still want to carry on with his career. Although, 16 years down the lane is not a small thing. That's really some lots of years spent as a career footballer. I think this should also go as a signal for the rest of Old star players that does not want to hang their boots and pave way for other upcoming star players.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are my major concern in this, I suggest that they retired by now. They should just go ahead and hang their boots by now. I am not criticizing their decisions to have joined those small clubs, but at the time, when you reanalyze it, you will arrive at the answer that suggest that they have finished their professional career and just in for the money. I think that's the point Ibrahimovic for referring to.

Real Madrid should go all out to get the signature of Erling complete.

Kylian Mbappe can be the new Eric Cantona at Man United the kind of force he possess will be a blast in the Premier only in a big club and only Man United suitable option for him.
Hazard will forever be a legend to the blues and Chelsea fans he made a bice move to Madrid but personally done at the wrong time.
Give credits also to Maguire he deserves it but making England call should not be. Maguire knows something Southgate must have done.
He should be nowhere near that England team.

A winter transfer would be like comedy considering that PSG did everything in their power to not sell him during the past summer transfer window. Then selling him in the winter would really be weird decision making by PSG management. As you said Real Madrid also feels no serious urge to buy a player during the winter transfer window, but conditions could change when serious injuries were to happen.

But I guess most here will agree that the main plan for Real Madrid will be to transfer Mbappe next summer. As far as I know that contract is now designed such that PSG would still make some money and Mbappe is free to leave because of a special clause he has in his contract. But I don't really have any expectations anymore. It's only waiting for now and see what they will do. I believe that Mbappe is a Madrid player when he wears the jersey for the first time in an official presentation.

In the end, there is nothing he can do again with his current condition because it is indeed forcing the will to stay on the field as a professional player will also be difficult for Hazard.
It's unfortunate even though he is one of the players who can impress me for his performance but indeed things like this are inevitable where when the wrong decisiin in choosing this club will have an impact on the future.
He was at Chelsea very good and indeed he was one of the best players at that time in the EPL but with the decision to be in Madrid this did not benefit Hazard which made him unable to do much even until the end of his career.

But Hazard's decision to go to Real Madrid is of course that he also wants to continue expanding his career, especially since he couldn't refuse an offer from Real Madrid because he also gets a large salary and is also the player with the highest salary among other players at Real Madrid. Moreover, by joining the best team in the world, he certainly wants to continue to add to his trophy collection, but it is a shame that his career at Real Madrid has not gone smoothly.

Injury is the thing that all players fear most and when it comes, sometimes there are players who can return to their previous performance or even, on the contrary, become a prolonged flop. That is what Hazard is facing, of course he feels the frustration and pressure within Real Madrid very deeply. He is still quite far from retirement age, but since parting ways with Real Madrid he has stated that he has lost his passion for playing football so that even if there is an offer from any team he will refuse it.

Erling Haaland and Manchester City have one goal so they both continue to try to strengthen each other. However, if you look at Mbappe with PSG, he is a bit of a contrast, so his potential to leave is much easier even though PSG is trying to hold him back. From this comparison, I think it makes perfect sense that Manchester City doesn't want to lose Haaland so quickly. His career at Manchester City will continue to shine, this guarantee has been proven. So why am I comparing him with Mbappe because these two players will be one of the candidates to replace the Messi and Ronaldo era in the future.
