If Manchester United are still considering selling Selling Mc Tominay this summer then there are chances they will sign a replacement before the end of the window but since no talks are in place till today I have doubts they will be able to complete a deal in this regard before deadline. I would suggest Mc Tominay and Gravenberch swap, that could happen a lot faster considering beating transfer deadline.

There is a possibility that Eden Hazard is purposely not listening to offers in a bid to finally hang his boots from professional football it can also be that he is taking his time before picking his next destination so it doesn’t end in regret and unsuccessful as his Real Madrid spell was. Eden Hazard is a free player with the choice to pick his final destination himself without a parent club interfering in his decision making.

I guess it also depends what position ten Hag needs to fill when McTominay would leave. This is the exact reason why Tuchel wants McTominay and would let go of Gravenberch. Gravenberch is too offensive in Tuchel's opinion and McTominay does more work for the defense while still having his qualities to give the game a push in the offense when needed. So this is not so much about a 1:1 change between Manchester United and Bayern Munich, but whether both think they can benefit from it and get their positions filled as needed.

I’m not aware of Bayern Munich’s interest in Mc Tominay but if this is true it isn’t a bad deal at all even for £40 million I feel it is a fair price for Mc Tominay after impressing in the past Euro 2024 qualifiers. The former Ajax and Dutch player who is valued for 30 million can be a replacement for Mc Tominay but I’m not sure if Ten Hag’s interest in Gravenberch. However there may be a possibility since he played for Ajax, Erik Ten Hag has some kind of sentiment towards his former Ajax players.

SPL in the new generation of the modern football, European conquers but most supporters and football lovers are picking interests in watch SPL games. Saudi Pro League is gaining more supporters around the space, they upgraded alot to get closer to standards of European football. It's a step by step procedure, and I'm hoping they will reach there. Al Nassr made the bold step by signing one of the best players in Football history, checking at the present condition of the team, they're weigh better and modernized than their competitors. Cristiano Ronaldo is a top player with enormous popularity in the world.

Honestly the influx of many European based players to the Saudi Arabian league who had toyed the path of Christiano Ronaldo who might retire in their league and was having a flourishing football career coupled with lucrative weekly wage pay, I am not surprised when the likes of Benzema, Koulibaly, Mendy, Mane, Neymar Jr, Kante, Fabinho, Henderson etc and Managers like Steven Gerrard and now Roberto Mancini followsuit, in no distant future Saudi Arabian league matches would attract more views and attraction because many of those players are still playing active football, I watched one of their league the stadium was full to the brim, honestly I like the ongoing reform by Saudi football federation such move would improve the quality of play of their home based national team players.

Luke Shaw's injury has put Manchester United in a crisis in left back with his injury. It make sense that they want to sign Cucurella who has a similar playing pattern with Luke Shaw who can run up front and provide reasonable assist for players to finish. Maybe Chelsea may not want him to go to a rival club just like Arsenal that refused selling  Emile Smith Rowe to Chelsea who they consider a direct rival to them in the premier league this season.

If Chelsea offer a lot of money, Arsenal may change their mind.

Money is the King 

It cannot be denied that the presence of Christiano Ronaldo helped popularize and 'paved' the way for other top footballers to join the Saudi Pro League.
And I hope the club in the  Saudi Pro League can maintain their financial viability after spending a lot of money to sign top stars.

It makes sense that with the finances owned by Manchester United, it is currently impossible to make a permanent purchase for the new players they will bring in and it is possible that Pierre-Emile Højbjerg will be brought in later on loan, but that is if Spurs agree to a loan agreement.

Regarding the transfer of Cucurela from Chelsea, it has just been reported that Manchester United has sent an offer to Chelsea to bring in Cucurela on loan and the result is now that Manchester United has reached a personal agreement with Cucurela, but now the decision remains in Chelsea's hands whether they want a loan fee of 2 million pounds for a season.

It is a sensitive situation. I mean if Liverpool accepted and Salah didn't want to go, that would mean that you would have a player with 2 year left on his contract that realized you wanted him to be sold. That's not normal, Liverpool is already not doing that well anymore, they are not as good as they used to be, they can't really bother with Salah not being happy at the club neither, it would result with Salah not going there, but wanting to go somewhere else and they would make even less money.

This is why you need to be 100% certain that the player wants to go as well, in this case he didn't want to, and if he wanted to then I bet that Liverpool would have been more than happy to sell him, and get some younger players, a few of them.

It is reported that Eden Hazard has turned down offers from the MLS and Saudi Pro League, and several clubs from France are also reportedly interested in signing him. It looks like Hazard is considering retiring early due to injury, but he doesn't rule out delaying it either. I myself quite enjoyed his game while at Chelsea, but his career was destroyed after moving to Madrid in 2019.

Four years in Madrid made Hazard a transfer that failed miserably, and could not live up to any expectations. Actually, he'd better choose to just go to the SPL, the league isn't too heavy there, and the money is good enough for a retirement fund.

IMO, it doesn't look like Marco Alonso is the ideal choice for Manchester United. even if they want a replacement, there are several options they could bring in towards the end of the transfer window. as Romano reports, Cucurella, Reguilón, are the right options over Marcos Alonso who has entered the age of 32.  but to bring in Cucurella, United must budget a sizable price. it could also be, Ten Hag is more adapted to the available budget.
it looks like Reguilón could be an option, because the price of this player is not expensive for them to bring them to Old Trafford. but if Ten Hag chooses Alonso, the price tag will be lower than the other two players. besides, Alonso has experience and is an established player. Unfortunately, at his current age, his contribution cannot always be relied upon. but to fill the void left by Luke Shaw, with the narrowing dateline, Ten Hag could not linger in making his choice. well, it looks like United have the main target.

In news from Romano, Manchester United are in contact with Chelsea to inquire about the terms of Marc Cucurella's deal over a potential loan - but no concrete offers or talks yet. but it seems, United will choose to look for LB but not too expensive. and that fulfills these requirements is Alonso. the problem is, do these players have a personal agreement. if not, Ten Hag will find it difficult to anticipate problems within his squad with increasingly limited time.

Why the retirement option? Eden Hazard can still play for Saudi Arabia teams in his last years of his career to make a huge deal of money instead of retiring. I don't think that he can't find any team from there. They are already okay about bringing well-known names by paying quite much money without looking at if they have been playing nicely lately.

I think he would get an offer soon if he hasn't yet. He should wait instead of retiring and play professional football for 2 more years at least.

He might not find a team for himself in Europe easily from now on. He can give the option I talked about a chance instead.

I do bet that we are going to end up seeing them look for someone bigger, and then end up getting nobody. That's the problem with United, we are talking about a team that usually does a lot and then ends up with nothing in their hands. They try their best and all that, but then they turn back and have nothing in the end.

I hope that people will realize that United is not managed properly, it is not a team that is doing good thanks to management, it is a team that does amazingly well considering how terribly they are managed. Erik Tan Hag, all his staff and all the players are getting good results despite the terrible ownership. Alonso should definitely be bought, but that would be too smart of a choice, they won't make it.

For me Mo Salah is an indisputable figure of Liverpool, he has become an icon, and now he has a good friend who can help him, the Colombian who is eventually flying, what is strange is that the Colombian does things very well in Europe but he has some shortcomings in the Colombian national team, because I don't see him as explosive as he is there, he has scored average goals, Diaz has done many excellent things that have made many English people excited, And in particular to me, I'm not Colombian, but I live next to that beautiful country, so these things when a Colombian does well in Europe and stands out is to celebrate, because it shows that South American football is one of those that It makes a lot of history, and it can do more things, only there is still a long way to go, but I would like Liverpool to do great things with Mo Salah + Luis Diaz, so that they obtain good results and thus be able to do excellent things, I do want them to be able to do great things like that.

Good but one of the good ones will do:

Sometimes things and people are not eternal in a team you can do many things and achieve good moments, victories and good camaraderie, which is something I like about this team, especially having such star players, for me of all Of the PL teams, Liverpool is the most complete, it has a solid line of defense, a good midfield and an enviable striker, the fact that this player leaves can cause some destabilization, but it is something that can be overcome, now More than that, you never need a Mo Salah to wake up and after all, the Colombian is very well connected, in fact he is the favorite player of many Englishmen and that is something spectacular, his football, his joy is unbeatable, regardless That this player in his early days suffered from clear malnutrition shows that with gnas he can go a long way and be one of the best in the world in a club that is well loved, respected and acclaimed by many, this is something that is noticeable. One less player makes the squad start to falter, but it's time to caste.

Saudi Arabian football federation is making wave in the sport. They are experiencing a major upgrade and boost this year, they had a plan and target when they decided to sign Christiano Ronaldo  and ever since they have been having sucess in signing big names. They can now influence even the best players in the world to Join them now coaches too, I am really impressed by how quick they have turned their football league and business around no doubts having Roberto Mancini is a major boost.

I mean, can we really blame Chelsea though? At that time, Lukaku was performing like he was the best striker in the world. Chelsea saw an opportunity to win the Champions League competition with him.

But of course, things will not go like that. Chelsea made a very bad financial decision. And now he is getting loaned out again. It would definitely be better for Chelsea if they could actually sell him to Saudi League for a good amount of money.  But we all know that Lukaku is not really interested in that based on what he was asking for to go to the Saudi league. So of course, if Chelsea can avoid giving him the salary, that is a financial profit for them at this moment. Just imagine him going to the Roma squad and start perform well again. That would be hilarious.

It would not have been a personal decision to take, his family would have had a minority opinion on his career because when he is injured as much as he was while in Real Madrid, his family where constantly going through the ordeal with him, so he has likely decided not to put them through anymore. He also must have gotten advice from medical practitioners regarding his health and fitness. It is a good for him to consider retirement now, football training can be rigorous.

He will always be remembered for his best performance while in Stamford bridge.

I believe that Eden Hazard has been approached by MLS and Ligue 1. But Hazard has decided to retire. I can’t say if the decision was good or bad. But I definitely think that all the injuries that he had been going through had an effect on his decision for sure.

He was definitely a great player when he was in Chelsea. That is why Real Madrid approached to get him in the first place. He did win a lot of trophies with Real Madrid, even though he did not play in the finals many time.  I definitely think that he could continue his career in MLS or the Saudi league or even the Ligue One.  But at the end of the day, I think all of us should respect his decision of hanging the boots. It is actually understandable why he has made this decision. But at the same time it is really sad to see a player like him, ending his career like this.

MU has been choosing which player that will be signed as a new left back for the club.

Im quoting this from romano's tweet. The main problem if manchester united's offer for him was very low. Chelsea was not interesting to let cucurela goes to the MU for this season with a very low fees like that. It seems like that ten hag prefers to take cucurela rather than another player.
My guess if MU fans gonna call him as chelsea's agent. There have been many people who pros and cons regarding his transfer.

I can't even believe if ten hag was picking cucurela as its next target. Many people called him as the next mount.
