I have read the same posts regarding Neymar on this board. the difference is, the first post said that Neymar wanted to return to his old club, namely Barcelona, ​​while your post linked it to MLS, which ultimately attracted me to do a search. Rumor has it that Neymar has officially confirmed to PSG his intention to leave Paris before the end of the transfer window this summer. French sports newspaper L'Equipe reported on Monday, August 7, 2023, that the Brazil international wants to return to Barcelona even though the Catalan club are not interested in signing his former player.

On the same page, Neymar also expressed his complaints regarding the lack of protection aimed at PSG for his players following the incident with PSG fans. according to several other sources which I will not reveal the sources of, PSG are aware that they will not sell him for less than 150 million euros, although they are willing to accept a loan to supplement his huge salary.

Other news, Al hilal has been associated with Neymar. I'm pretty sure Al Hilal has the courage to pay Neymar with a high price tag. only, the problem is whether Neymar is willing. So, as for MLS, are they able to pay Neymar's wages or according to the price asked by PSG to let him go. to be honest, I'm not too sure about that. the only club that is able to meet the salary and price value of Neymar is, the Saudi club. Anyway, I understand why this news is the latest news. however, I will not review from that side. so, it looks like PSG will start releasing players who have big names and they will rebuild PSG with a new philosophy under the tutelage of Luis Enrique.

I don't think Neymar is a sales target for PSG this season because he has recovered from injury and can help the PSG team next season. Apart from that, PSG still needs Neymar in terms of experience to support their performance in the next season. I think PSG's focus right now is selling Mbappe after Mbappe didn't extend a new contract with PSG.

Apart from that, Neymar is also quite comfortable at PSG and he also has a contract until 2027. Moreover, Neymar release clause is set high enough by PSG so that it will make it difficult for European teams to recruit Neymar. Except for the team from the Saudi Arabian league who was able to send the offer as desired by PSG. Several Premiere League teams have expressed their interest in recruiting Neymar, such as Arsenal and Manchester United.

PSG seriously messed up the whole situation up. If a player is not ready to sign a contract extension you don’t necessarily force them to stay and if they refuse you don’t also placed the on strict terms again. This doesn’t only sour your relationship with this player but also damages your reputation towards any potential signing. They have shown in the past that they seriously lack regards to players wishes, they did same thing with Messi and now Mbappe. Neymar is now requesting Also for an exit. This will definitely distract PSG this season even if some of ten players still remain



Harry Maguire’s deal has only had a fee agreement between both clubs but there are things that are yet to be finalized most especially the personal terms. There are plans that he might me named captain by David Moyes. But the stalling part in this deal is the fact that Maguire wants a compensation from Manchester United which has around 10 million. Until then we can’t confirm the deal first.

After Ward-Prowse I think WestHam will place higher attention towards acquiring McTominay who United feel is above the 30M bid made by WestHam

If you follow Harry Maguire's career on Man United, you will understand that he never made a good contribution for Man United. When he leaves the club, surely all the fans will be happy and Man United management will slightly reduce the allocation of player's salary. For Maguire, he may get a chance to play regularly in the new team. So, nothing bad to happen when Maguire leaves Man United, it is actually the right decision. It is lucky that there is a club that want to pay 30 million, we know that Maguire performed badly during the last season. This is also the reason that West Ham has he right to lower the salary of Maguire, he deserves to get a smaller salary. I'm sure Maguire wants to accept smaller salary as long as he can be a main player in West Ham.

Neymar leaving? Mbappe having issues because he wants to leave too. It seems PSG would be tested and tried big time, if all the top players who know how to change the dynamics of a match in their favor, leave too soon. I do think Neymar might likely prefer an MLS team compared to the Arabs.
Chelsea on the other hand are going to have a hard time in this season because they got a team with too many players, new manager and new style of play to adapt to before the beginning of season.

So, in this situation, speculation about Lukaku future has not yet found common ground because several teams that wanted to recruit him withdrew from their plans, such as Inter Milan. So the option that Chelsea will take may be agreeing to Juventus offer of their interest in Lukaku by expecting additional money for this transfer saga because Vlahovic will be bartered with Lukaku plus 40 million euros that Chelsea must pay to Juventus.

Apart from that I think the Juventus management will make quite a big blunder if they release Vlahovic in this transfer window. Because Vlahovic is still quite young and he needs time to be able to make a big contribution to juventus. Meanwhile, Lukaku is getting old compared to Vlahovic, especially since Lukaku often experiences injuries so that it will be a blunder that will have bad consequences for Juventus.

I think Barca won't be able to bring him again, because his salary is quite expensive. Even though they can get money from merchandise sales, I'm sure it wouldn't be enough to cover it. Neymar to Al-Hilal? That would be a good place for Neymar if he can't accept lower salary in Europe. Even though 31 years is a relatively young, but i believe, his salary would be a problem for most European clubs to sign him.

Kepa is a good shot stopper especially when it's a closed range shot but he's not good at stopping shots from outside the penalty box which is one of his big problem and I don't think he can work on that since he doesn't have the height to stop balls placed at the corners of the goalpost. He is a good keeper and does have his moment and i believe that's why Thomas tuchel wants him. He's also a good penalty goal keeper as he saves penalty regularly. He might suit the Bayern Munich team more than he suits Chelsea so we can never know unless he plays for them. I think he should move over there because at the premier league, his flaws are already known and players can always used that against him to score.


Todd Boehly is in loved with signing youngster as he is more invested in building for the future so if this is another youngster on the radar of Pochettino, he's as good as been called a Chelsea player because Todd Boehly won't hesitate to sign him. Todd has trusted the decision of the scouting players to Pochettino and signing them because in the past it would had been Todd Boehly pushing for signing of players and not the coach but things are different now which means Todd Boehly learnt from the diaster he did the last time he took charge of the transfer window.

And Vlahovic could end similarly to Lukaku. I think both have been overrated while I still see some potential for Vlahovic to improve, but he has never really been this outstanding goal scorer who broke all records. He has scored a decent number of goals and he was good when he played for Fiorentina as it is always harder to score in teams that are not the leaders in the league or belong to the top group of the league. But his performance for Juventus Turin wasn't really fascinating. At the same time I think he is also quite expensive.

Normally chelsea are not really interested in signing Vlahovic or any striker at the moment because they already have Nkunku and Jackson and any additional player will be seen as surplus to the team. Even pochettino made a comment that he doesn’t wants alot of players and that he wants to trim the squad as much as possible so there won’t be excessive number of players in the squad. What chelsea are focused on right now is to conclude Caicedo’s deal as soon as possible and sell some few players like Ziyech, Chalobah, Lukaku and Hudson Odoi before the window closes.

Juventus are only trying to force chelsea to pay the amount so they can use it to buy other players.

Zakaria to Monaco from Juventus is almost done.

Tomorrow should be the day of the paperwork, the price will be 22+ bonuses.

Lukaku-Vlahovic is on stand-by.

If Chelsea will not give 40m too in the deal, the deal will not happen.

Maybe for Toby it's a chance to rehabilitate his reputation and show he can play normally. When he played for Leicester City he didn't have such an unremittingly bad game and did a decent job in defence, I don't know what happened to him at Manchester United but obviously the best solution for both him and the team is to sell him

If Barcelona cannot afford to sign/register the top player that they already have, how can they be able to get Cancelo in the team? And how are they always trying to get new players in the team? They should be thinking about fixing the problem and register the players that day have already acquired. It will be interesting if Barcelona cannot register them to be honest.

I have a question, what if Barcelona cannot register them? What happens to the money that Barcelona spent for them? For Barcelona, does the money not bring any value then? Because if they become three agent, and if Barcelona has already given the money to the previous club, i don’t think Barcelona is getting that money back.

The scenario you mentioned involving a Saudi club buying Neymar and then loaning him to Barcelona while sharing his salary among three clubs does sound like a unique approach to manage his situation. It's true that Neymar's age and salary could be factors in determining his transfer options. However, the actual outcome will depend on various factors including player preferences, club negotiations, and financial arrangements. We'll have to wait and see how the transfer market unfolds in the coming few days.

I know people may see this deal as a ridiculous deal,but one thing I know for sure is that change is something constant,but we might see a new Maguire at WestHam because the player himself has faced so many criticism of recent.WestHam knows the reason why they bought him,and I believe he might just go on to be one of the best defenders in the world.I know the main reason why Manchester United had to let him go is because he is prone to causing own goal.but I still believe that he is a good defenders.
WestHam will be looking for experienced players that can take the team to a different height,and Maguire is the kind of players they want because he possess variety of experience at that defence,and after they lose Rice to Arsenal, Maguire can just step up to be their next captain.

Manchester United fans will celebrate to the morning seeing their brave captain leaving the team and moving to another one in EPL so he can help them got 6 points when they face each other in the league. They can finally see their ex-captain play on their side
A bit serious, Manchester United played better when Harry Maguire was in the benches and his playtime was reduced considerably in the previous season so it isn't a big loss after all.

 

manchester city already started with defeat, they lost in the game against arsenal. but that doesn't surprise me because manchester hasn't started well in the official competitions, but when they get to the middle of the season they become very consistent until the end of the season and they win the title. the manager of manchester city was very smart as always, they sold players but not their most important players, and they made some signings like Josko Gvardiol and Mateo Kovacic, they didn't hire many players for the attack because they already have good ones an attacking player, city's coach is looking to improve the defense, probably because he wants to win the european champions league again

West Ham are making some signings and I must say I was surprised by the courage they had in signing Harry Maguire even though I saw Manchester United fans constantly complaining about Harry Maguire and there was still the incident that happened in the Manchester United friendly game in which the newly hired goalkeeper complained about Harry Maguire in the middle of the game and also Harry Maguire was removed from the position of captain, and even with that it is clear from the past of some goals in which Harry Maguire was pointed out as guilty, even with that all west ham signed harry maguire. we'll see if harry maguire does well at west ham. in my opinion he can do well

in west ham Harry Maguire will not play under pressure so he will play well. now the management of west ham will have to analyze very carefully whether or not they will sell Lucas Paquetá to manchester city, which according to what I read, manchester city is making an effort because they want Lucas Paquetá, mainly because Pep Guardiola really wants Lucas Paquetá. I see that west ham will give in and sell Lucas Paquetá

I prayed for times like this. Finally! Harry Maguire has decided to leave Manchester United, Though he has yet to agree personal terms with Westham. I'm wishing him all the best ahead but not against Manchester United.
The fee seem low personally to me but good they've finally come to conclusion.

Dalot? Nah! Diego Dalot is not as bad as you think. It's just that Aaron Wan Bisakka improvement was impressive and had become undisputable. I'd say Tominay should leave. Dalot should be given a few years, if he doesn't improve then he can be sold.
