I can't believe with my eyes, Manchester United is requesting to loan Kolo-Muani from PSG. They do it caused by their financial issue. They are asking PSG to let him out from there, though, i doubt PSG letting him leave even as a loan.
It's high likely just a rumor, Amorim is too aggressive and want to sign any players he likes, he should sign underrated players instead of overrated players. When the players are from England, Brazil and France, the price went up to 2-10x than other players with similar performance.
Hopefully, yes, but who knows. Many doubted Manchester United when they linked to the Ugarte, but they did bought him from PSG. The same thing can happen to the Kolo Muani as well. As long as they take him on loan, it doesn't sound bad at all.

Manchester United was really underperform in their xG. That is because their attackers were  performing so poorly, often doing improper finishing. Who knows Kolo Muani may fix it.

Very few European players who are 31 years old will be productive and even if there are only a few players so Pogba's chances of performing at his best are almost certain to end. After playing in the Arab League and moving back to Europe then the question is which club will be willing to recruit and give him a big salary. So it is almost impossible for that scenario to work well and I think playing in the Saudi Arabian League will be much more profitable for him financially. There he can also collect more money and retire after seeing the development of football against him no longer getting his best quality.
While I would say you are wrong when it comes to someone else, you could be right about Pogba. Normally, even if a player doesn't play for 2-3 years, when they are 31 years old, if they were any good before the break, and if they kept their shape up as well then I would say that they can make a comeback. Sure it would take a while for them to get back on form, and as far as I know Pogba will come back on March right? Then in that case we could see Pogba end up with being not that good this season, from March towards May when most leagues end, that would make sense and I understand that and should not be worried about it.

But at the end of the day, Pogba is different because he has always been a bit of a problem for most teams he has been on, he has always been a very talented player but he has been personally creating issues wherever he goes to and this is why I believe that any team who gets him will regret it, not because of the break or anything, but he is not worth it.

Osimhen charm has not faded even though there was a dispute with Napoli which resulted in him being crossed out from the squad list led by Antonio Conte. He was forced to move to Galatasaray on loan to get playing time to maintain his fitness. With his new club, he managed to amaze everyone with his performance, now several clubs are starting to show interest in bringing him in, including Manchester United who want to give €30 million + Zirkzee to Napoli to get him to Old Trafford.

Despite his issues at Napoli, it is very obvious that the Nigerian striker is still amazing and has become an integral part of his new club Galatasaray since he moved to Turkey. His performance for his new club has been amazing and he has scored several goals and given so many assist which could tempt the Turkish side into moving towards making his deal a permanent one, though a lot of people disagree with his choice of club because they thing he deserves to be in a club bigger club than Galatasaray or in an elite league that tallies with his class as a world class player and not a league like the Turkish league.

I doubt Napoli will agree to Man United's offer. A Swap Deal of Osimhen with Zirkzee plus additional money looks very unfavorable for Napoli because they really don't need another striker, and maybe that's one of the reasons why Osimhen was exiled to Turkey. Man United should have done a swap deal at the start of the season when Napoli really wanted McTominay. If Amorim really wants Osimhen, then he will have to come with a lot of money or offering one of his players who Conte might be eyeing.

Yeah, i'm very happy seeing Pep is staying here even longer. He signed one year contract extension + one year option. He is a very important for us, and we won it in long term with him to stay until 2027. He will help us refresh our squad, then build another winning squad.

I really admire the love Pep Guardiola has for Manchester city and the fans and the club also respects him a lot that is why they extended his contract to 2027, they still believe in his ability to make the team become stronger than they have been despite their little slacks, Pep Guardiola is a good coach that every team will dream to have as their head coach and it's really good to see that he has made good impact to Manchester city. Retaining Pep Guardiola is the best decision that Manchester city has taken at this material time and it is a recommended move. By renewing his contract has now nullified the rumors of his possible switch to become a National team coach. I wish Pep Guardiola and Manchester city good luck until the end of his contract with the club.

He's going to be a top striker playing for Manchester United, but I hope he'll be willing to wait for Manchester United to get things together before he start demanding the club gives him a major trophy as Manchester United aren't in a position to start competing for titles as they're yet to get the club in sharp. They have a new manager and it'll take some season for him to start showing strong contentions for the premier league title or even the champions league title but still, a move to Manchester United is going to be a great move and an upgrade for him from the club and league he's currently playing at. Napoli shouldn't sabotage this deal if Manchester United are serious about it.
Now the future of Rashford in the team is being discussed, under ten Hag it was clear that he was not playing at full strength, he was not the forward we were used to seeing, and it is being discussed that Amorim will not allow him to go out on the field with such an attitude. If nothing changes, he will leave the team, I don’t know how relevant this is, maybe it was precisely because of ten Hag, and it is obvious that Amorim will build the team at its own discretion, and no one knows how long it will take.

About Osimhen.

He has a release clause valid from this winter transfer market.
Some teams may be banned from this clause knowing his former president.

Anyway if a big team calls he can leave Turkey for the right amount of money to Napoli.

If we look at his performance, of course he has no trouble adapting to the Turkish league because so far he has played 6 matches in the Turkish league by scoring 6 goals and 3 matches in the European league by scoring 2 goals. With that I believe he will get many new offers in this winter transfer market, I think Arsenal can glance at him because Arsenal needs a goal-hungry striker.

As far as I know, Real Madrid already has several star players who play in the front line but I just read the news on Twitter that Real Madrid is targeting Alexandre Lacazette to recruit in the January transfer market, I wonder why Real Madrid recruited the French striker? even though he is already 33 years old while Madrid already has good strikers at the moment but I think he might be used as a second-string player if one of Madrid's strikers gets injured I see his statistics at Lyon are also quite good in the last few seasons.
If this news is true, I will be disappointed in Real Madrid for trying to aquire the service of a 33 years old player when they have so many young and talented players such as Kylian Mbappe, Arda Güler, Endrick, Rodrygo and Vinicius junior who can fill up the striking position effectively. While Alexandre lacazette is undoubtedly a skilled striker, signing him at this stage of his career seems unnecessary for Real Madrid as they have young and talented players that are available to fill in the position.
Most probably as we have history of media, near the transfer window they bring many rumours by their own for having some intention from soccer fans because currently Lacazette is playing in Lyon where his performance is not good having 2 goals from 10 games mean things are below then average and Real Madrid already have much better player into their squad which can give their best in case of better playing minutes.

Lacazette is having his contract until June 2025 so he could be free agent but his age and performance both are not good enough for having spot into team like Real Madrid where we have already enough forwards which are much better and younger which can give their best for long time I have strong feeling this is fake news by any media house which is looking for some intention from the soccer fans.

If you look at the Manchester city squad right now, it's very obvious that the team needs rebuilding, and the best person in the business that can do that is pep guardiola, so for the hierarchy of Manchester city to be able to convince pep guardiola to stay put at the club, it's a massive win for them no doubt.
After all who else if not Pep Guardiola is able to control Man City. This contract extension is very important, especially for Man City who are worried that without Pep Guardiola the abilities of their players can no longer be utilized properly. Pep is not being pursued by other teams and instead of leaving, the club immediately took quick action to submit a new offer.

Finally after a long wait, Manchester City managed to extend Guardiola contract, with the contract extension of course Manchester City is the team he has coached the longest compared to the previous team, Guardiola arrival in 2016 has brought many significant changes to the City squad with their ability to dominate the league so far, so there is indeed no other coach more suitable to coach Manchester City than Guardiola, their slump in form this season does not give any doubt and desire to sack Guardiola because they know if there is no better coach than Guardiola at the moment, he is have a clear vision and a strong philosophy of the game and we can see how he can bring a lot of success to City over the years compared to their previous coaches.

Also, I started to see many desperate theories from our competitors about him out there. They started to talk "pep knew the club won't be relegted due to the FFP breaches, so he extends his contract". Our competitors are hilarious. lol

I was also seeing Pep state he won't leave the club when it's still at the down side.  He's such a legend, and i fully applauded him.

With his new club, he managed to amaze everyone with his performance, now several clubs are starting to show interest in bringing him in, including Manchester United who want to give €30 million + Zirkzee to Napoli to get him to Old Trafford.

As we know that Osimhen has been speculated with many clubs previously, last summer we kept guessing that he would go to PSG, Chelsea and even Arsenal, but in fact Napoli loaned him to Galatasaray after Osimhen also rejected his sale to an Arab League club, Osimhen performance continues to improve so indeed Manchester United are also now starting to be interested in signing him although so far there has been no official confirmation about it, the signing of Osimhen would be a good addition to them but the question now is whether Zirkzee wants to move to Napoli after Bologna has previously made a big name for him in Serie A?
In addition, I think the purchase option of 30 million euros plus zirkzee will not go as Manchester United wants, because  napoli has previously confirmed that they only want less than 100 million euros in cash for Osimhen.

I know Manchester United has the worst attack in the league, Manchester United needs to add a -classer to improve. Osimhen is a name that suits them so well.
But I still like Osimhen to go to Arsenal. Osimhen doesn't need to think or worry about anything. Coach Mikel Arteta has turned Arsenal into a Premier League title contender in recent years. Osimhen will be the final piece in Mikel Arteta's tactical jigsaw. Get there, join Mikel Arteta and his teammates to overthrow the empire created by coach Pep Guardiola.

Osimhen should not risk going to Manchester United, even though they have a new coach, there is no certainty that he will help Manchester United regain their form. Look at the players: Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, or even Cristiano Ronaldo, Old Trafford doesn't bring them anything, even destroying their careers.

Maybe he can be a role model but in this time there are many other options that seem to have more potential for the future.
How can he be a role model if he has so much drama around his career though? Maybe he's different when you see him in person, but it's hard to see that when young players consume social media content a lot. If a role model is what a club is looking for, maybe they should go for someone like Milner instead. He works hard and has leadership qualities, never see him in any drama whatsoever. Not sure if players like him are available on the market, especially outside of the Premier League though.
There are 2 sides that I see, first he can be a role model and second he cannot be a role model. The first reason I said he can be a role model is because of his ability as a good player, so that is a positive side for him and can be a motivation for other players. And the second reason I said he cannot be a role model is because of his attitude.
I think I have to be fair in judging a player, when he is good I say he is good and when he is not I will say no. I don't want to judge a player subjectively because I don't like the player, but I have to judge objectively.

Pep Guardiola is reported to have extended his service with Manchester City until 2027. It is known that his contract with The Citizen will end at the end of the 2026 season and many speculate that Pep Guardiola will leave Man City and he will switch to become a national team coach to achieve new challenges and achievements that he has always wanted to conquer, namely the World Cup, but because of his love for Man City, it seems he wants to stay longer and win many titles so that he can become a historic coach for Man City and this must be happy news for Man City fans because they have loved the coach.

Great news for Manchester City and possibly for Guardiola himself.
For 8 years Guardiola won 16 trophies and it turns out that at least 2 trophies a year he brought the team, you can compare for example with PSG, which spent more money on players, but the result is much more modest.

Guardiola said that he has everything in Manchester City and we see that other teams just can not offer him such. In Manchester City Guardiola is an absolute authority and none of the players can dispute this and the players also realize it.
This is a unique case, because often the management or the players can dictate their will to the coach, like in the Real Madrid, where the team management actually imposed Mbappe Ancelotti, although apparently he did not strongly want it.

Wow, though the link you drop is not in English, so I can't go verify it, but if this piss of news is true, then I think that it's the best news and the best transfer dealings of Manchester city this season, though Manchester city isn't as dominant as they are used to this season, but retaining the presence of pep guardiola at the club is the best transfer dealings they have done this season, because I believe that the ability of the head coach determine how strong the team is going to be, and when it comes to coaching in world football, pep guardiola is among the top three best managers, so retaining his services at the club is really a good thing for all the citizens and those that loves the club.

If you look at the Manchester city squad right now, it's very obvious that the team needs rebuilding, and the best person in the business that can do that is pep guardiola, so for the hierarchy of Manchester city to be able to convince pep guardiola to stay put at the club, it's a massive win for them no doubt.

Lacazette? It's absolutely no way to sign him from Lyon. He's a finished player, and i hope this rumor will never come true. He's been bad at Lyon. He played 10 games and only scored 2 goals. He's too far to be compared to Joselu, and 10 million is overpriced for him.
You shouldn't only look at the current season.

Look at the previous season, he was a top scorer, in 2022 he scored 27 goals and become the best player in Lyon, in 2023  he scored 19 goals and become the second best player in Lyon. 10 Million Euros is worth it, especially Real Madrid really need a striker.

Joselu is nothing different than Lacazette.

I can't believe with my eyes, Manchester United is requesting to loan Kolo-Muani from PSG. They do it caused by their financial issue. They are asking PSG to let him out from there, though, i doubt PSG letting him leave even as a loan.
It's high likely just a rumor, Amorim is too aggressive and want to sign any players he likes, he should sign underrated players instead of overrated players. When the players are from England, Brazil and France, the price went up to 2-10x than other players with similar performance.
