There are reports that Aubameyang is poised to sign a three-year deal with Olympique Marseille. I feel that despite his poor spell in Chelsea last season, his reputation still remains strong and he has been subject of interest from a number of major European clubs. Also he has been among the Premier League players wanted by clubs in Saudi Arabia. It’s surprising that he isn’t attracted by the offers of these Saudi Arabian clubs. Seems he wants to play UCL football and Marseille can offer that at the moment.

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.

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.

Well Real Madrid also has a lot of debts as almost every Club in the spanish league but i guess for most clubs it is already a normal thing now to have huge debts, which is a very bad thing of course and i hope this changes again in the future but i doubt it.
Even among those spanish clubs FC Barcelona still stands out though because they have far more than 1 billion € of debts and really need to be careful to keep the club running and to not go bankrupt. I hope they have learnt from their mistake and begin to reduce their debts.

Manchester United have been looking for a new No.1 since deciding not to extend David de Gea’s career. De Gea left as a free agent at the end of June after Eric ten Hag insisted he wanted a goalkeeper who is better with the ball at his feet. I think that is one of the strongest areas in Onana’s game having played under Ten Hag at Ajax before joining Inter last summer. So I expect a change in the team when the season starts, Manchester United will be better now on with his arrival and with more signings to come.

Harry Maguire performance is good when he play for England, if his performance is bad, Gareth Southgate can easily replace him with another player because England never lack of good players. There's no reason for Southgate to kick Maguire from England's squad.

However what we have seen before, Maguire was making so many mistakes when the goalkeeper is De Gea. Since De Gea already leave Manchester United and high likely Onana will replace him, we need to see if Maguire will still bad play or not.

Bernardo Silva's contract at Manchester City will expire in 2025 so there are still about two seasons for him to wait so he can get an offer from Barcelona so there is no need for him to accept offers from PSG or from Arab clubs that promise big fees, of course not without reason for he hopes to play at Barcelona more because the club is one of the target clubs for players who want to get a lot of achievements, but from the news circulating, Manchester City doesn't like the player's decision not to extend his contract at the club, but hopefully, he really rejects the offer from Al Hilal because his international career will be very much at stake in the league, staying at Manchester City while waiting for an offer from Barcelona or accepting an offer from PSG would be better than going to the Saudi Pro League because playing in the European league will still be the best choice for a player like him whose age is still possible to play full time in every match.

Harry Maguire went from confident defender for club to a very undependable defender for Manchester United. He was very terrible that he made the former goalkeeper for Manchester United that has just left, look bad in some games. The new season demands a stronger team from every team and that is what every coach is trying to do. Harry Maguire is a weak link for Manchester United and just has to leave the club or get used to becoming a regular substitute in almost every game. Lucky for Harry Maguire that his bad Manchester United record has not affected his international career.

I'm impressed with the red devils, they're on the right track to correcting fixed problems. Harry Maguire was given more than a second chance, but he continued to screw things up for the team, committing blunders that led to goals. Manchester United are attempting to enhance their performance next season, particularly in the UEFA Champions League, consequently there is no place for skeptical performance from their players, so Harry Maguire's inferiority from the position of Captaincy is understandable. Erik Ten Hag is aware of the qualities he demands in a leader, and regrettably, Harry Maguire lacks these qualities. 

Chelsea must agree with Olympique Marseille as long as they want to pay the transfer fees at a decent price. Aubameyang only spends most time on the bench, Chelsea must expect him to leave because he is not a main player. If Aubameyang leaves, Chelsea can reduce the burden of the player's salary a little. Anyway, Aubameyang's market value is about €4m, Chelsea only expect €6m for the transfer fees. I think Marseille has no problem with that price, it is rather cheap for a good striker like Aubameyang.

Let's hope he will have a better luck if he moves to Marseille. Ligue 1 can offer him a better career, it is not as competitive as EPL. Aubameyang possibly can shine again if he gets enough chance to play. Since Marseille has no strong striker, I believe Aubameyang will be the main CF and play regularly again.

Oh, how cruel! Don't you really think that Maguire deserves a second chance and that it's worth giving this chance anyway. In my opinion, it's quite enough that the player has already been stripped of the captain's armband and I don't think it's worth finishing him off and throwing him out of the club now. This can destroy a player's self-confidence and completely destroy his playing career. Still, Maguire played quite well in the England national team and maybe the whole problem is in the Ten Hag game model and where he sees the player.

Aubameyang has been one of the unlucky professional footballer i have seen played in recent times, he was doing very well at Barcelona when he left Arsenal and I don't understand his move coming back to the premier league. He was a shadow of himself and has had many badluck since coming back to the premier league to join Chelsea. He was removed from the champions league squad after been initially included and that goes to show how unlucky he has been. I wish him to leave the club as the club has given him a go ahead to find his next club. I always thought he'll be heading to Saudi Arabia but seems he still wants to play in Europe.

I hope he signs with Olympique Marseille and  get playing again as he was at  Borussia Dortmund and Arsenal. Players need to be mindful the type of moves they make so it doesn't destroy their career. If only he was in good terms with Arteta, he won't have been moving round clubs. He might had established himself as an Arsenal and premier league legend. I wish him luck anywhere he goes to continue playing his football and hoping he pick up form because he hasn't been getting lucky lately. If Europe doesn't work for him, I'll suggest he join others in joining the Saudis Professional League and go make some money for his retirement from football.

Ko Itakura was the next target for Al Hilal and they wanted to hire this player for a huge amount of money but he didn't accept this offer, Also Napoli wanted to hire Ko Itakura to replace Kim Min-Jae in this team and he didn't accept this offer too.
This 26y old defender joined Mönchengladbach in the last season from Manchester City for 5m and he played 25 games for his team in this season.
Rejecting the offer from Al Hilal shows us he didn't pay attention to more money he can get.

No definitive news on selling Tominay from Manchester United. He had success with Scotland, but not much with Manchester United last season. I think that all of rumors that said MU gonna sell him in summer was just fake news. No team who was interesting in signing him at this moment.
I remember tominay being linked to the EPL club but there's no further development already happened with him. It's likely manchester united tries to defend him from being moved to the another club.
Tominay's performance was not so good like when he was playing in scotland.


Maguire lost his captain's band. That's a signal if MU doesn't need a captain like him. Meguire must be leaving from manchester united as soon as possible. Westham is interesting in signing him but the club wants only to sign him once united will able to decrease his value.
Meguire's market value was always decreasing since we have known him as a player who made so many blunders in manchester united. He is such a clown in the club. Meguire deserves no place in the main squad. He shall leave from the club if he wanna gets regular time to play a main player in the club.
Manchester united shall sell him.

It would not be a bad thing if he accepted PSG's offer and joined them, but Ligue 1 is no longer regarded as one of the top leagues in the world among European countries. Barcelona might be his next destination after declining an offer from PSG and failing to prolong his contract with Manchester City. I'm not sure how Pep will utilise him next season; if he doesn't use him as much as he did last season, he might lose a lot of form on the bench and won't be regarded much by the next season when he wants to join them once his contract with Manchester City expires.

He is still waiting for barcelona. It's quite clear to see that caused by he was not even saying yes to the other club's offer for him. The problem is now barcelona has no money to get him. Barcelona needs to sell the players first. The club has gotten gundogan but barcelona is facing financial problem. De jong will be sacrificed by barcelona to get silva from manchester city. Barcelona are unable to sell the players like ferran torres or even ansu fati caused by they don't wanna be sold by barcelona.

He was interesting to join in barcelona and play together with gundogan under xavi. Any rumors that linked him to the other club than barcelona totally fake rumors. Let barcelona to sell some of its players first before the club tries to buy silva from manchester city.
Pep can easily find his replacement. That's why im thinking if losing silva or gundogan was nothing. Manchester city is having ability to make it even better than before.

The club can do some regenerations.

If there's anything about crises between the two teams then it'll surely be Barcelona who's currently having financial crises. However Barcelona still remain as one of the best teams in the league despite their inability to sign as many players as they'll wish to.
Barcelona won the league last season even when it was visible that Real Madrid had better squad which will surely make Madrid to try make up for their shortcomings when the new season kickoff.

Real Madrid lacks a solid attacker, that could replace Benzema and score goals. In the previous season, Real Madrid suffered a lot from Benzema injuries for exemple and they struggled to score in many occasions. Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo did a good job but they couldn't hide that missing spot.
I would add that Real Madrid don't have enough attackers, they don't have right now any substitutes for their wingers after the departure of Asencio and Hazard. The worst part is not seeing enough rumours at least about recruiting new players in these positions apart from Mbappe. Even Harry Kane want to join Bayern Munich..

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.

Gundogan has a lot of experience under his belt and aside the fact that he along with his former teammates at Manchester City won the English Premier League as well as the Champions league, he’s a player that any club would want to have in their squad.
I believe he could be really instrumental in helping Barcelona retain the La Liga title. Obviously, they’re going to face a lot of competition from other clubs. Real Madrid, who is their biggest threat in my opinion and a strong contender for the title, with their recent signings should really be a concern to Barcelona if they want to retain the title.

If there's anything about crises between the two teams then it'll surely be Barcelona who's currently having financial crises. However Barcelona still remain as one of the best teams in the league despite their inability to sign as many players as they'll wish to.
Barcelona won the league last season even when it was visible that Real Madrid had better squad which will surely make Madrid to try make up for their shortcomings when the new season kickoff.
