Simone Inzaghi will not be willing to let one of his best assets leave the club, as they will also struggle to find a suitable replacement. However, the transfer could also be realized if Manchester City offers a tempting price, Hakan Calhanoglu himself is currently under contract until June 2027. In my opinion, Pep Guardiola will choose to utilize the available players, he has seen the strength of his team last season when he lost Rodri for several games. In terms of age, Hakan Calhanoglu is still considered capable of playing in the Premier League, at least for two or three more seasons.
On the other hand, Rodri long absence will make the competition for the Premier League trophy more balanced, because as we see Manchester City is a bit unstable without their defensive midfielder.

He is certainly an interesting player and PSG doesn't care about the money at all, but I doubt that Wirtz would be interested in playing in Ligue 1. He would literally waste his career and I think everyone saw that the league isn't on the same level as the Premier League or Liga. But who knows, if PSG were to go crazy and offers him a gigantic salary, well then maybe it is possible. I hope he won't do it though as Mbappe was also a waste in France.

Bayern probably has a good chance as it might be very possible that Wirtz wants to stay in Germany.

It still makes sense for Real Madrid to get Wirtz, though he played in the same position as Jude. But if they can push Jude to the CM, then they can play him together with Jude. They need a replacement for Kroos. He would help control their tempo. But this idea is far from happen.


PSG has many midfielders. They can't add another one, like Wirtz. It makes no sense.

Bayern Munich can likely buy him out from Leverkusen. They are interested in doing that.

Szcezny had a good performance recently but he has not played for any team this season so far and this can be a good chance for Barcelona to hire Szcezny. Also considering the performance we saw from Szcezny, I think there is no reason anymore for Barcelona to be worried about their goalkeeper since he was one of the effective players of Juventus when he was playing there.
Now after Szcezny joins Barcelona they can wait for Ter Stegen to be back in good form without any stress because of having a reliable goalkeeper.

Yes, Man City's ambitions to dominate the Premier League were dealt a blow when Rodri was injured and ended the 2024/25 season early. This is certainly the biggest challenge for Pep Guardiola this season. When it is not possible to supplement from external resources, in the context that Hakan Calhanoglu still has a contract until 2027 at San Siro, it is clear that Inter is taking the initiative at the negotiating table. I know that if they receive an ideal offer, the Serie A champions will let him go. But Hakan Calhanoglu is also being pursued by Bayern Munich. So this deal is not certain to be completed for Man City.

Therefore, Man City must exploit other options to fill Rodri's void. Certainly, the current players Man City have, Ilkay Gundogan and Mateo Kovacic will be used to fill the void left by Rodri. The most likely candidate is Mateo Kovacic, who has started the first four Premier League games of the season without Rodri.

Rodri was injured in the Arsenal game and is out for the season. Manchester City have to make a transfer to replace him. There are many names in the press but I like Hakan Çalhanoğlu because I think he can easily adapt to Pep's system. Also, his career in Milan and Inter is very good. This transfer won't be easy but Manchester City can sign him if they don't want to lose the season. They seem to be a bit more comfortable in the league this season but if they want to be more serious in the title race I think they have to make a good transfer...

Rodrygo will be a good option for Liverpool if Real Madrid can sell him for them.
The player can decide to go to Liverpool since his role in Madrid have several players including their almighty Vini Jr and Mbappe, and I am sure Ancelotti will look for a reliable striker in which if he is able to bring a striker, Rodrygo need to leave so that Mbappe and Vinicius can have good time to play in both left and right depending on how the game turns to be; but two of them in support of any reliable striker will be a powerful combination for Madrid because they will score more goals than they are doing now.

Juventus wanted the player to become a legend in the club since they don’t want to leave him; or they will give him contract extension so that they can put a huge release clause  in case any team will come for him; while Chelsea on Boniface; I don’t think it will work.

I will prefer Victor Osimhen to both Manchester United strikers anyday because Osimhen has some qualities both strikers do not possess. Osimhen is very strong physically and very good in the air which is something the United strikers are not so good at. Again Victor Osimhen has made quite a reputation for himself which is being the African best last year and also stirring Napoli to their first ever league title so it is Osimhen all day for me.

I think they should extend his contract at the end of the year. I wouldn't be wrong if I said that Son is the first name that comes to mind when thinking of Far Eastern and Asian players. We can say that he is the most valuable Asian in the Premier League, especially after playing for many years and being a symbolic player for Tottenham, it wouldn't be right to think otherwise. They should definitely keep Son at the end of the year. They should have a debt of loyalty to the player.

Liverpool is considering moving for Real Madrid  winger Rodrygo for next season when Mohamed Salah will leave.
Juventus is trying to extend the contract of Dusan Vlahovic until 2028 or 2029, if they will not succeed the player will be on market.
Chealsea is interested in Boniface from Bayer Leverkusen’s.

Not so many news, source BBC

Looking back a little, Manchester United should have recruited Harry Kane, who has been tested and experienced in the Premier League, not a young star of Rasmus Hojlund caliber.
Looking at the team needs, it is very clear that Manchester United need a striker who is sharper than they already have, but recruiting Osimhen seems difficult to realize, because it has the potential to disrupt the club financial balance. Actually, Hojlund and Zirkzee have great potential, but they need more time to develop. A more crucial area that Ten Hag needs to fix is ​​the midfield, this will function to support the front line and maintain the balance of the game.

The current situation, Ten Hag is under great pressure, pressure that continues to increase every week, due to only being able to win three of eight matches in various competitions. The players cannot be blamed entirely for the team current unstable performance, they play according to Ten Hag instructions. Maybe Manchester United current shortcomings are no longer about the players, but it comes from their manager.

He will be very difficult for Tottenham to sell Son because is a very great player for the club, I don't see any player that is better than him currently in the club, is a key player and they like him more than Harry Kane, and I am sure if Son leave Tottenham, he will be very hard for the club to achieve their goal because is only the player that is pushing the club now and winning matches in the team, and they even have a match against Manchester United this weekend. They're following the same pattern I'm observing.

I believe the game will most likely end in a draw, but we'll see how it plays out. How Although Harry Kane left Tottenham for Bayern Munich to win trophies, he has yet to win a trophy in the league. This season, I believe he can win a trophy as they are in good form. If Son sees that he cannot win a trophy, he may reconsider his decision and move to another club that can help him achieve his goals. I am not sure why Tottenham has not won titles in recent years.

You don't need to be told to see that Manchester United are creating chances but they just need to be more ruthless when it comes to putting the ball at the back of the bloody net.
I do think Joshua Zirkzee is good but, I can not say the same for a player like Rasmus Hojlund, if I was in charge of getting players, I will never get a player like him despite his energy, he reminds me so much of Romelu Lukaku with those heavy first touch of the ball. Maybe INEOS should also jump in to get Victor Oshime, Manchester United needs such striker and I don't lie he would be perfect fit playing with Bruno Fernandez.
playing the ball backwards would have just made yesterday great but Individual error again cost Manchester United that game yesterday.

Zirkzee actually was expected can solved the weaknesses of attacking lines from Manchester United especially Zirkzee last season was performing well with Bologna so this makes Ten Hag has decide to buy him but after seeing his performance with Manchester United seems Zirkzee still unable to adapt with them and i think this is dissapointing and at the interview Ten Hag has made a statement regarding Zirkzee that he says Zirkzee is still young and there is still plenty of time for him to develop his skills at Manchester United

But indeed Manchester United still lack of option for striker position and this makes too at the beginning of Premier league Ten Hag even have to playing Bruno Fernandes as a striker but this strategy didn't run well because Bruno Fernandes is a midfielder not a striker and the situation indeed is not really good for Manchester United moreover Hojlund still unable to in form with this team

About Osimhen if i am not mistaken Manchester United is including to Osimhen special clause so if Manchester United is really want to buy him then i am sure Osimhen will be thinking the offers from this team but recently i have found a news too that Galatasaray looks satisfied to Osimhen performance and they also considering want to permanent his status

Now the decision has been dealt where De Rossi has been sacked from Roma which makes the speculation even wilder later.
Ivan Juric was appointed as De Rossi's replacement coach at this time although it seems too soon but when the decision has been made then we only need to see whether this change will have a positive impact or actually make the situation worse than before.

Honestly, this situation is almost the same as what happened to Napoli last season so the doubts and pressure, especially on Ivan Juric, are still quite large.

But what is interesting about this dismissal is that even though De Rossi was fired, the club owner said that the door would always be open to De Rossi if he wanted to return to Roma and considered that he was still capable of coaching. This is a little confusing whether this is only used as a temporary option so that De Rossi has more mentality at a new club first before returning to Rome or this is just a goodbye. But I respect that even though they ended the partnership, De Rossi's relationship with Roma remains good.

Son has spent so many seasons in Tottenham, he has been with the club since 28 August 2015 and has really performed so well for the club, I remember back then when Son and Harry Kane were very active for Tottenham as the both players did perfect jobs for the club by scoring most goals for the club. The reason why I am of the opinion that Tottenham should sell Son is so that he can also try another club if he can win a trophy because regardless of the efforts he put in Tottenham he didn't win any major trophies as he only won the International Champions cup in 2018/2019. If Son leaves Tottenham it will really affect the club's performance considering how helpful and impactful he has been to the team for this long time but he can't end his football career at Tottenham so he should be allowed to also test his ability in other clubs.

Erik ten Hag says that they need to score more goals than this. He is right. This is really the point Manchester United are lacking very much. What are they doing for this? I don't know at all... 

Do you think they need another signing for the attacking line?    Like a striker or winger. I don't think they need a winger at all firstly. They really have good talents in their hands. But for striker, I really can't be sure. Zirkzee just can't score. Hojlund has newly recovered from his injury so we don't know what he will do for now.

I'm just curious, maybe they can also join the race for Osimhen at the end of the season? I mean if their current strikers don't satisfy the expectations...

Spurs should keep the player and if Spurs choose to sell him, I believe Spurs strength will be slightly weakened in the attacking line. Son is one of the players who can always find opportunities when the team starts to have difficulty getting opportunities to score. Although he has not been very good lately, he can still make contributions that can help other players to score. I hope Spurs will not let him go unless they have a replacement player who has the same talent.

Florian Wirtz is just 21 years old with he is having amazing time in Bayer Leverkusen with few top clubs like Real Madrid, Liverpool and Arsenal are having strong interest just because of this we are having this price tag this new sensation of soccer most chances in coming transfer window we will have some good fight in few top clubs for this young wonder of soccer because his current performance is good and few clubs are looking for player like him for better results.

Latest updates are clearly showing few top Premier League clubs like Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal are ready for talk with Bayer Leverkusen about this player with Real Madrid which is already having the best soccer talent are also looking for him this can create good masala for the media in coming months but this price €150 million is surely insane for this player.

For the time being it is likely that Szczesny will be the main goalkeeper replacing the injured Ter Stegen after he recovers Szczesny will definitely be shifted again.

Young players will indeed be the priority of the coach now because their abilities and stamina are still very strong compared to older players, and like Gundongan like him last season Barcelona no longer needs it because Olmo has been recruited.

It could be that after the contract expires with Barcelona then Szczesny could return to Serie A again.
