Gvardiol transfer is about to get official for Manchester City!

There is an agreement on transfer fee finally and Manchester City have already agreed personal terms with the player. This is going to be another wonderful transfer for them surely. Besides it is a great investment thinking of the future also. Because Gvardiol is one of the special defenders who is this much good at this age already.

He fascinated people with his performance in the World Cup as well which drew the attention of top teams more. There is a quite number of centre-backs in the squad maybe but it might not take Gvardiol much time to consolidate his place in the starting eleven as long as he plays his usual game.

Exciting talent, he was solid for Croatia during the Fifa World Cup but flopped when he met Lionel Messi on the pitch.
Pep Guardiola keeps on attracting the best players to Manchester City. Its still seem like he wants to defend the Premier league once again. Chelsea was leading the race to sign the player but Pochettino has definitely better plans for his squad and the new season.

But Gvardiol would add a lot to the defense of Pep Guardiola. Marhez has also accepted terms with the Saudi Arabians, he achieved a big time ever since he moved from Leicester City to Manchester City.

I think Barcelona won't be interested in him based on their financial problems. And in general, based on the financial problems of the Catalans we can say that for another 10 years they will have little interest in expensive players and stars. So there are two options left, either France or Saudi Arabia. Depends what he wants, money or continuation of a good career

I wonder where some of you get your news from.
How can you say Barcelona will have little interest in an expensive player. Just a season after their new manager took over they spent €55m on Lewandoski, but in 10 years they wouldn't be able to afford a €100m signing?
It seems a lot of people don't even understand the situation in Barcelona.

Silva is interested in signing for Barcelona and he has told them his interest and is willing to wait for them. Man City value the player for around €90m. Now where thing get interesting is that Manchester City are interested in Raphina. So there could be a real deal but it seems there will be cash involved.
Negotiate are ongoing and we'll see if anything can come out of it.

Barcelona have money now actually. It isn't the problem standing in front of them about signing expensive players now. It is all about financial fair-play in the La Liga. Its rules are creating a big obstacle for Barcelona to make signings whatever they would like. This must be quite annoying for the team as well.

Otherwise for example we were going to watch Messi at Barcelona instead of Inter Miami. Because he was prioritizing returning to Barcelona. But the current problems prevented Barcelona from satisfying his demands.

There is no longer any loyalty in football these days; there have been so many player transfers between Juventus, Inter Milan, and AC Milan in the last three seasons now, which were not common when these clubs were dead end rivals, but now I don't see the rivalry. Lukaku is about to join Juventus from Inter Milan, this things are insane right now.

Its all about money now. No body even cares about the feelings of the fans they just care about the money. This is what is wrong with modern football. No body has the respect for the clubs and fans anymore. In my country if you go to a biggest rival that is like one of the biggest betrayles.

It's a regular practise now because no one bothers. In the EPL, the top six clubs exchange players every season, and the players simply move on without regard for the fans of their previous clubs. Kai Havertz and Mount began trolling Chelsea fans when they left with stupid interviews and posts... So filthy that the bitter portion of the game has vanished. Football loyalty vanished a long time ago.

Anyone with good streaming site for pre-season games?

Cuadrado is now officially an Inter player.
Something that seemed impossible given his previous 8 years spent with Juventus.

Nowadays we rarely see a player continue to play for the same club at an older age then retired on that particular club unless he is considered as a top star on the club though. I totally understand that Juventus might not really want him anymore considering that he is a 35 years old player that is easily replacable but kinda shocking that Inter Milan decided to sign him

In as much as we blame some players for leaving their respective clubs for their local rivals, we should also try and know the reason behind some of this moves. Some clubs does treat some of their players badly by not showing concern or respect to this players and probably not giving them enough playing time and by so doing, these players in question will move to their local rivals and give their best so that their former club can see how good of player they missed.
I don't think Cuadrado's move to Inter Milan is a big deal nor a sin against his former club. Despite his current age he still has the ability to deliver quality performances on the pitch and there's nothing bad to continue doing so in Italian League

I can say that I was surprised too. We are used to seeing Saudi Arabian teams signing older players, but it may come as a big surprise that one of the major teams in Serie A signed Cuadrado at the age of 35. I think it's a more attractive option for Cuadrado to still be in competitive Serie A instead of going to the Saudi Arabian league.

That's a decision Cuadrado might have a hard time making. But one strong reason because he was on a free transfer after Cuadrado ended his contract with Juventus. Other than that we've seen the experience he has in Serie A so inter milan did a more precise signing that they did. I think he is 35 years old, for sure Cuadrado will reap all kinds of obstacles in the rest of his career, will quickly run out of energy or everything that will make Inter Milan give a 1 season contract for Cuadrado.

Yes, apart from that there is a side of loyalty that Cuadrado has with Juventus, but Juventus did not give him a new contract which made him unable to do much other than leave and join another team. His arrival at inter milan will also provide additional power to their right midfielder for next season.

I would guess that it depends on the deal, sure he may reject money, but if he thinks he can make it work with another player that is younger then he may end up accepting that as well. Silva may not be "fast" but he is quick, and he plays with the ball very well without losing it all that frequently, which helps them establish an offense very easily, put most of their players on the opponent side while Silva waits for everyone to get into position. De Jong for example was offered as far as I know, and that would not be the same thing. But someone offers like some money and a younger version of Silva, then maybe he may consider it because every team needs to constantly rebuild.

Since Bernardo Silva contract ends in 2025, then Manchester City will definitely ask for money to sell him and this automatically turn down any hope for him to join broken Barcelona squad unless there was an exchange of players.
In the other hand Manchester City seemed not interested in selling the player. PSG for example, offered them an exchange of 3 players for him! These players are Marco Verratti, Presnel Kimpembe and Gianluigi Donnarumma! I could understand the first two wants to quit PSG but Donnarumma?
Manchester City have also rejected €70m offer for Bernardo Silva from PSG. Guardiola isn't ok for these deals apparently to avoid affecting much the team or Manchester City are expecting more money in order to let him go..

I think Inter only wants him as a substituted player. Inter already has Dumfries who plays in the same position. But it is not a bad idea to have Cuadrado as long as he wants to follow the coach plan and not expect much to play regularly.

Yep, he played a long time in Juventus. I think it can be the reason for him leaving now. He may assume he won't play a long time since he is already 35 years old. He wants a new challenge in another team before he retires.

As far as I know, Barcelona is already interested in him since the last season. But Man City keeps Bernardo Silva, he is an important player for the squad. He still performed well in the last season, no reason to let him leaving. Besides Barcelona may have no money to sign him, Man City seems refuse any offer for Bernardo Silva because he is still a part of Man City plan for the next season.

Based on what was reported by Romano who said "so far Kane's camp has always kept their promises" that means that it is very likely that Bayern have entered into an agreement with the player, they have mediated so far with Kane's family. In other news, Bayern Munich are "confident" they have a "serious chance" of signing Harry Kane, says @FabrizioRomano.

On the other hand, Spurs will try their best to persuade Harry Kane to stay. they will do everything they can, so that Kane stays and extends his contract. but if we refer to Romano's quote, it seems most likely that Kane already has a personal agreement with Bayern. only, Kane did not say that he would leave. maybe, if Bayern had prepared their third offer and Levy was unable to turn it down. like it or not, Spurs have to let him go. moreover, if Kane is not interested in signing a new contract. I'm pretty sure Kane will join Bayern Munich next season.

I do not think that the question of the next season is relevant at the moment - everything should be decided now. If Kane leaves for free, then Tottenham will be in a big loss, so if Kane's departure is a definite thing, and the club knows it, then they are obliged to sell him now. The situation is similar with Mbappe, so I hope to see these two transfers now and not in a year.

Ideally as you said, the Spurs would have to let Kane go if there was no contract agreement. but as I said before. that there will be tough negotiations between Levy and Bayern Munich. So far, the proposals that Bayern have offered are nowhere close to the €100 Levy has said. To be honest, I don't know if Bayern will bid anywhere near the €100 price Spurs want. most likely, if Bayern will again bid with a better offer plus add-ons. so, let's just wait for the third offer that reportedly will soon be submitted by Bayern Munich.

Talking about Mbappe, Mabeppe's transfer saga looks like it will be a little complicated, I have read some new rumors that PSG have held a meeting with Mbappe's mother. as reported by Marca, that Fayza Lamari and PSG had a meeting. Ramon Alvarez, confirmed that the meeting had not yet resulted in a decision regarding Mbappe.
well, I agree with you. ideally, Mbappe should leave in this season's transfer window. for Harry Kane, I'm pretty sure it's only a matter of time for Kane to become part of Bayern Munich.

I think Teh Tag should not sell Fred and Mc Tominary is not advisable, there is nothing wrong of having good bench, and options in the midfield to encourage competition in the midfield. Mc Tominay has been key player to the squad, and to his National team. see his tag price surprised me. or its because his not an England player? to me his value more than that. Manchester united can sell Fred but not Mc, there are so many competitions this season, the power of any team lies on the quality of our bench.

At the end of the season when the club released the list of potential outgoings, Mc Tominay made the list and maybe Fred did too although I was surprised to see both players been mentioned because they were crucial for the team in the final stages of the season. If Ten Hag decides to sell both players then I am certain plans are in place regarding replacements.

Indeed, in terms of adaptation Lukaku must be very familiar with INter Milan. But now his productivity has dropped dramatically after they sold to Chelsea and returned on loan. I know what you think, maybe you think that in the next season he can play much better than last season and I also actually agree with that. But maybe Inter Milan see other potential coming from other players besides Lukaku. And the problem is also that Chelsea is also like hanging Lukaku's status, they don't expect Lukaku to be in the squad, but at the same time they don't want to release Lukaku permanently.

Yes that's the reason why Chelsea loaned him back to Inter Milan last season, he couldn't make the contribution expected at Chelsea. The reasons for productivity and decreased performance made Chelsea not want to take the risk of losing too much, high prices were not a benchmark for the productivity of its goals. Inter did not want to spend more than 35 million to buy him, because Lukaku demanded to become the main striker for Inter coach Filippo Inzaghi. In fact, if Chelsea want to let Lukaku go below that number, it is possible that many clubs will want to sign him.

It is most likely that Lukaku will move to Juventus after being hanged by Chelsea for so long, and could possibly go to another club depending on the negotiations going well. My prediction is that Lukaku will still be able to contribute next season to the club that recruited him because looking at his statistics in his second season, Lukaku always looks impressive except when he was with Chelsea.

In the end Lukaku was one of the players who made Chelsea lose 2 times in terms of transfers so they also didn't want to let him go that quickly which made them take the option of a loan to get his form back but this did not go well.
Lukaku and Juventus are still linked now and this is what makes Inter look for other alternatives (now Morata) to be their next target.
The problem in this case is that if Lukaku decides to go to a rival this will obviously spark new drama for Inter and Juventus and I expect this to happen because with transfers like this it will increase the intensity and tension in the end.

Currently, he is not part of Mauricio Pochettino's plans and he will not be joining the team for pre-season games in the United States, just as Hakim Ziyech and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The Saudi League would have been the easiest route for him, but Lukaku has made it clear that he is not moving to the Saudi Arabian League so he has to wait to see if his transfer to Juventus will come through.

Juventus are making a mistake signing him, he's a great player but lack the personality of a great player. He isn't loyal to his parent club and easily gets disloyal to any club that he signs to. I won't be surprised when stories of him having issue with Juventus begin to circulate the internet. Saudi Arabia indeed would had been the perfect destination for him but he has already rejected them and it seems him having a club depends on only Juventus to offer him a contract. Chelsea are just fed up with this player and wants to get rid of him as soon as possible. You can see it all over the Chelsea management.

Chelsea wasn't looking for any highest bidder, they had a price tag of Lukaka already and was willing to sell to any club that can match the bid which the club in Saudi Arabia already matched the bid but Lukaku rejected their offer and wasn't willing to go to Saudi Arabia probably because he knew Juventus was coming for him since Inter Milan was finding it difficult to match Chelsea bid and was messing around with offers they were bringing to the table. When they saw that the talks with Juventus was advancing they brought in a better offer but it was already late because Lukaka has lost interest in the club.

The situation with Lukaku is still not clear. Few days ago, I read that he will resume training as a Chelsea player for preseasons and that Inter Milan had withdrawn from signing him and it is also not certain if he will want to move to Juventus because he might consider that move as betraying his former club. What decision he will make remains a mystery to all and I hope he makes the right one for the sake of his career.

Lukaku to Juventus does not appear to be a viable option. I also observed on a TV news a few days ago that some Juventus fans were chanting in front of the stadium that they did not want Lukaku. I don't think Lukaku will join a team where he will be unappreciated or disliked by the fans. He should reevaluate his choices, and I hope he takes the best decision for his career.

This kind of scene for Juventus I think is something that is quite common.
Reflecting on the previous case where when Ronaldo's arrival was so welcomed but when Ronaldo left they were many who were in front of the screen saying they didn't need Ronaldo. This is ridiculous in my opinion and at this time when talking about Lukaku it could also be that this was initially rejected and when Lukaku arrived he could be hailed by fans from Juventus.

Besides, we need to realize that it is the management who decides in the end whether they reject or not but when the management's decision wants to bring Lukaku especially if Allegri feels suitable in the end they will accept so that things like this do not become a reason whether Lukaku deserves or not at Juventus.

News in Italy: Juan Cuadrado is 35 years and he play another season in Serie A. Not for Juventus, but for Inter Milan. He moves without transfer fee and it will possibly be his last stop in Italy. He has played for Juventus, Florence, Udinese Calcio and Lecce, in total more than 360 Serie A games. He has played for Juventus since 2017, before that he was loaned to Chelsea, but was still under contract at Juve. Now for Inter Milan, lets see how often he plays.

I am learning that Juventus did not renew Cuadrado's contract due to salary demands and this is the reason why Cuadrado joined Inter on a free transfer. Personally, I am surprised that Cuadrado chose Inter out of many possible teams. I think that the Inter management made an intelligent move by signing Cuadrado for a low cost. I watched an interview where Juan Cuadrado expresses his happiness and gratitude for the opportunity to play for Inter. No one can at the moment can tell Cuadrado's potential impact on Inter's future success but I am sure it would be significant, given his experience and skill.

There was some news about Bernardo Silva joining PSG in the next season and since PSG lost some players and they need to fill the spots, they were thinking about Bernardo Silva.
But Bernardo Silva didn't accept the good offer from PSG and he didn't accept the offer from Macnshter City to extend his contract too.
He even got an offer from Al Hilal but it seems Bernardo Silva wants to join Barcelona and Xavi in the next season.

Bernardo Silva has so far not received any news from Manchester City about a contract extension, which has led to rumors of Bernardo Silva leaving the club. Since PSG have already lost some players, PSG will have a chance to sign this Man City player. PSG may not have much money ready for Bernardo Silva. Bernardo Silva won't join PSG if he doesn't get a good money offer from PSG.

According to your information Al Hilal can make big offer to Bernardo Silva to join Saudi League but I think Bernardo Silva will not go to Saudi League at the moment. If Barcelona are interested in signing Bernardo Silva, he may be able to sign Barcelona's interest. If he leaves Manchester City and joins Barcelona, his football career should not be bad for him.

I think Barcelona won't be interested in him based on their financial problems. And in general, based on the financial problems of the Catalans we can say that for another 10 years they will have little interest in expensive players and stars. So there are two options left, either France or Saudi Arabia. Depends what he wants, money or continuation of a good career
