Liverpool is one of the elite clubs, and I am convinced that they will return to their best form next season. Jurgen Klopp is actively obtaining midfielders, addressing his issues with well-thought-out plans. Trent Alexandre Arnold, one of the best defenders at Anfield, has returned to training and has changed his hairdo to plaited braids, traveled trenches, mountains, lakes, and also hit the gym with the goal to get back shape and good condition and prepare 100% for the English Premier League. I'm anticipating an outstanding performance from the Englishman.
I hope klopp deploy Trent Alexandre Arnold in his new role for the English team i.e playing as an attacking midfielder instead of his usual right back in Liverpool, Southgate had tested him in that role and he proved effective in the their last matches, it's up for Klopp to rejig his midfielders with the inclusion of Trent Alexandre Arnold,  he is a player I admire because of his overlapping and crossing of ball ability,though he faced a lot of criticism following dip in his form towards the end of last season as a right back, however I am optimistic that he had put that behind and ready to put in his best for Liverpool in the new season.
I think it was Klopp that started playing him in that advanced role. Arnold impressed in a hybrid role in the latter stages of last season, playing as an inverted right-back pushing into midfield. He then played in an advanced midfield role for England in the recent Euro 2024 qualifiers and shone against Malta and North Macedonia. Now Arnold will be linking up with midfield signings Mac Allister and Szoboszlai. It’s left for Klopp to pattern his midfield 3 in a way that would include Arnold. I don’t know how he’s goin to do that, but we’ll see.

What do you think Maguire future looks like? is it still worth being a Manchester United player even if it's only as a reserve player?

In my opinion Maguire leaving for another team is a win-win situation for both.
Yes, I know that Manchester will lose money if they sell him and probably should not loan him to another team, but it is past time for Manchester to accept that the player did not play in high level as much as they expected from him, and opting for other players is the best solution now. The team has to take advantage of having great players in the squad like Casemiro, Mount, Rashford, now Onana will arrive and set up a different team.

For Maguire it is also the best solution, and I still say more, he could probably play in another team outside England, some intermediate team in Spain, France or Germany to get rid of all the pressure that came with him for the millionaire sale to which he went to Manchester United.
Maybe a season playing without so much pressure could do the player good, and at 31 or 32 he could still come back to play in a bigger team.

If he stays on the bench, he will gradually disappear and the situation should become even more stressful for everyone.

Even though his fate is increasingly unclear in the eyes of Erik Ten Hag, now Maguire is trying to correct his mistakes, especially when guarding Manchester United's defense. It was reported that he was taking private lessons with Carvalho, this was done so that Maguire would not lose his regular playing time in the Red Devils squad. I know Maguie often makes blunders, there are not even a few disputes on the field with De Gea. But there's nothing wrong if he really intends to fix it on the sidelines of a long holiday. Next season maybe he will no longer be part of the main squad. But at least Maguire has learned a lot that the competition to find the ideal place at Manchester United is not as easy as it used to be.


What do you think Maguire future looks like? is it still worth being a Manchester United player even if it's only as a reserve player?
Regardless of the mistakes that Harry Maguire has often made over the past few years, I think we must appreciate his intention and hard work to earn the trust of the coach and all his team-mates. It's definitely not easy being Harry Kane, who every time he makes a blunder he gets scathing criticism from everyone, especially the Red Devils fans who are getting tired of the performance of their captain. But now seeing that some of the players are still on vacation and elsewhere Harry Maguire prefers to do private lessons with the Chelsea Legend, I think that's very good and I hope he can find his best performance which he has been missing all this time.

Regarding his future with Manchester United, I think if he can prove once again that he deserves to be in the squad then Erik ten Hag will not want to sell him this summer and he will have to go through pre-season to prove it all before the official EPL matches start.

Napoli bought Osimhen 75 million in 2020 and now he is one of the best players in the Italian League so it's not an exaggeration if Napoli opens an offer at a price of 120 million moreover he is a young player 24 years. If we pay attention to the current player market prices are increasing this happens every year , we still remember how Enzo Fernandez was bought by Chelsea for 121 million it really doesn't make sense but that's what happened.

Well 120 Million € is a huge amount of money, but that is also the current market value of Osimhen and he also has 2 years worth of contract left at SC Napoli. So it just makes sense that they are asking for a transfer fee, that his around his current market value in my opinion, even though that amount of money for a single player is just crazy, but that is just they way modern football works at the moment.

The move from Enzo Fernandez was totally different story though in my opinion. FC Chelsea paid 121 Million € for him even though his market value is "only" 80 Million, but back then Chelsea and their new owner was just throwing around money without any reason and without brain. Now they have a squad that is way to big.

I'm not going to say Osimhen is a cheap player and they should not pay him a huge amount of money but the thing about this player is Napoli is trying to make money from selling this player and I'm sure they are not going lose Osimhen easily and even if they don't get a good offer to make money for his team he is going to stay there.

But It seems the first priority for Napoli is to keep this player for another season, if they wanted to sell Osimhen they could ask for a cheaper price because Napoli knows finding a player to replace Osimhen is not easy at all for them.


Napoli isn't acting dumb in this market. They know that there are not so many good strikers and whoever has the need to find one, those clubs are also prepared to pay a price that could even include a premium due to the scarcity of good players in this position. There are only a few names that have proven their skills in the last season and that could stand the test in one of the best clubs and those players are the most expensive on the market. Napoli is calm and there is no need to rush anything for them. The smaller the window becomes for the interested clubs, the higher is the compulsion to pay whatever a club asks for a player.

Chelsea and Juventus has lost to compete with Al Hilal to gets Sergej Milinkovic-Savic this because he almost be leave Lazio and joining Al Hilal and it say both representative has been agree about the price that Al Hilal have to spend 50 million as transfer fee so this ends the speculation about his future at Lazio because before he decide to joining Al Hilal Milinkovic-Savic was linked to plenty of clubs and Lazio has allowing him to discuss about the salary with Al Hilal but it doesn't mentioned how much salary will he get per year and Al Hilal will give him 3 years contract and he will joining with Chelsea former player Kalidou Koulibaly
Losing competition to clubs with a lot of money is very common and also very reasonable even though the players they are after are players who are not bad. And if Chelsea and Juventus are unable to get Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, what's more, the player's age is also almost approaching thirty or to be precise, he is still two years short of turning thirty. So Chelsea and Juventus must be able to look for others while forgetting their defeat in competing with Al Hilal.

Enzo Fernandez is a good player, but unfortunately he was playing with a bad striker, so we don't really saw the contribution from him. Signing Osimhen for 120 Million Euros is still a good deal, 150 Million Euros is the maximum offer if there's a club really want to sign him, above than that it's too much.
All Chelsea players could not be said to be bad last season because they experienced such alarming conditions after several changes in coaches. Even the loan of Felix ended so disappointing because he could not contribute to the club, even though he played well in the previous club. Player prices are always above expectations and sometimes do not match their abilities when playing and sometimes their arrival to the club does not give any results. If seen further in my opinion it is not a problematic player but a coach who is unable to meet expectations and weaknesses in gathering strategy and is unable to take advantage of the quality of the players they have.

In this season Enzo will play with Nkunku, Sterling and Lukaku, maybe we could see a change.
This will be a good duet next season, the collaboration of Enzo, Nkunku and Sterling will definitely make Chelsea's front line more dangerous and added to the arrival of new coaches will make Chelsea better and solid next season.

Fabrizio said it was something like 48-50 million range, but of course I do not know the full story but looks like that could be around the level where it is because usually he gets the news better than most places and I am guessing that would be the case. I can't really say if that's going to be the right number, but I feel like 80 would be way too much for him as well, that just doesn't feel like the right number.

Hernandez has been waiting for this moment for a long time, he really wanted to be able to join PSG and finally this deal happened. I heard from several members of the media that PSG managed to recruit him at a cost of 45 million euros with a contract period of 5 years, I think that is a reasonable price for Hernandez at this time. After Hernandez's arrival PSG has been one of the most extravagant clubs this summer, they have poured 155 million euros to bring in Manuel Ugarte, Hernandez, Hugo Ekitike and Lee Kang-in.

I believe that there is a good chance that we are going to end up with PSG getting a few more players, and that way they can get rid of Mbappe without worrying about getting worse, they need a proper striker in that place, and they may end up getting a big name there as well then sell Mbappe to some other team instead.

So far I'm still waiting for the agreement between Mbappe and PSG, we know that this summer PSG has spent a lot of money to get several players. Because of that I hope PSG will be able to negotiate with Mbappe to get an agreement on his sale. My point is I hope that in these last weeks before the Transfer Market Mbappe will be available for sale, because with this sale at least PSG will get a little fund to replace the money they have spent on Manuel Ugarte, Hernandez, Hugo Ekitike and Lee Kang. -in.

Yes, Manchester United are interested in signing Atalanta striker Rasmus Hojlund for roughly 50M with Mason Greenwood going on loan to Italy for a year. The signing will be the first time that Manchester United has signed a young striker since Wayne Rooney. Rasmus Hojlund will rival Antony Martial for a starting berth in the leagu; while Marcus Rashford starts the new season in LW
Rasmus Hojlund is still very young, I think Ten Hag is thinking about a big season for Man United. he realized that to compete with other strong teams like City and Arsenal, Ten Hag couldn't with his usual squad. he needs a main player and back-up that has the same qualities.
I will only hope that what Ten Hag and Man United did in the transfer market this summer does not turn into a useless purchase. I can't wait to see how Man United start this season.

United will play their first game of preparation next season against Leeds United in Oslo, perhaps this will be the first debut for Mount. United are reportedly ready to negotiation to pay £50M for Rasmus Hojlund striker from Atalanta. They wanted him as Rashford's companion. According to Sky German Man United are also interested in Ambarat, although there have been no more serious talks.

Manchester United have taken a bold step in letting one of the best Goalkeeper EPL has ever had to go and a replacement is on the way, the Inter Milan goalkeeper Onana. Is Manchester United desperate in having a replacement or is Onana the desperate one? The whole thing is some how complicated. To me Onana shouldn't just give in just like that if Manchester United are looking for a replacement and come to think of it, De Gea is even better than Onana, although the Inter Milan goalkeeper is still young and he has so many years ahead to prove himself that's if Man UTD get Onana.
I feel Onana is not going to do half of what De Gea did while he was at Man UTD, the united team lack defenders so is not going to be possible for Onana to do better at Old Trafford (that's if the get his signature).
I'm sure this decision will be regretted by Manchester United in the future, De Gea is a very consistent goalkeeper, he has been Manchester United's main goalkeeper for a very long time and has never disappointed in every season.
While Onana is a goalkeeper who just appeared last season, meaning he just shone last season and I doubt a little if he will be able to be consistent for the next few seasons, of course this will be a big blunder for Man United if Onana can't be consistent and they will regret the decision they made now.
Regret will always be there for Manchester United for giving the main place for so many years and David De Gea has always proven with his consistency that proves that during that time there was also no goalkeeper worthy of replacing David De Gea. Even in his last season with Manchester United, David De Gea was still able to win the Golden Gloves award. This proves that even though there are problems with the Red Devils' defense, David De Gea can still keep a clean sheet that far.

Andre Onana has indeed shone since last season, but Erik ten Hag seems very confident in Andre Onana's appearance, therefore Erik ten Hag entrusted the next main goalkeeper place to Andre Onana. Brought in from Inter with a transfer fee that is not cheap, it is hoped that Andre Onana will provide a much better performance than David De Gea.

Liverpool is one of the elite clubs, and I am convinced that they will return to their best form next season. Jurgen Klopp is actively obtaining midfielders, addressing his issues with well-thought-out plans. Trent Alexandre Arnold, one of the best defenders at Anfield, has returned to training and has changed his hairdo to plaited braids, traveled trenches, mountains, lakes, and also hit the gym with the goal to get back shape and good condition and prepare 100% for the English Premier League. I'm anticipating an outstanding performance from the Englishman.
Actually, for Liverpool to return to their best performance it is not as difficult as Chelsea. When they were in the top 10 positions in the standings but at the end of the season they tried to maximize their opportunities and finish in the top 5 quickly. That's because Klopp really knows how to get back up, supported by the right players. So for next season Liverpool can still provide extraordinary games. And in addition, Liverpool has the arrival of ideal players like Mac Allister who will help sharpen The Red's attack line.

As for PSG, Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis stated that only Paris Saint-Germain could bring in the striker from Nigeria. Osimhen is one of the hottest players in the transfer market this summer. apart from PSG, other clubs that have targeted Osimhen are Chelsea, Bayern Munich. but if we examine the message from the President of Napoli, it seems that he is hinting that Nampoli is ready to let Osimhen go to PSG, even though the player states that he is not interested in Ligue 1. with the salary offered by PSG, it is not impossible that Osimhen will accept an offer from a giant club  of French origin. even then, on condition that PSG are interested in bringing in Osimhen with a very fantastic price tag. So, let's just wait for further developments.
For PSG interest in Osimhen, of course what must be done now is to complete the sale of Mbappe first. That way it will be easier for PSG to pay attention to Osimhen. Meanwhile, for now there is no guarantee that Osimhen will be top priority. Like Madrid, which ruled out Osimhen because its main priority was to bring in Mbappe. But back to the difficult price agreed by both parties. For Madrid instead of buying it this summer and waiting for it until next year is a dilemma.

That price tag for Victor Osimhen is way too high. Osimhen is a natural goal scorer, but it's difficult to justify such a high price for his services. As of now, it appears that no club is seriously considering buying Osimhen at this price. Napoli had hoped for a bidding war, but it looks that there is no interest so far. It's acknowledge that these discussions are currently just talks.
I just guess if Osimhen stays with Napoli, it might close his opportunities to play for a better team in the future. I just hope that Osimhen doesn't sign a new contract with them.

In general i agree that 120 Million € for a single player is definitely to much for me no matter how good he is. The truth is though that modern football is marketed so much and everywhere in the world that the sums that are paid for players are consistently rising since many years. Back in 2009 Cristiano Ronaldo was moving from Manchester United to Real Madrid for 94 Million €, which was an ridiculously high amount back then. Now they would have to pay around 200 M€ for him i would guess.

Regarding Osimhen, i also think that potential buyers of him are deterred by the huge demands of Napoli. If they want to keep him at all costs than this was the right tactic, if they wanted to sell him for a high prices than they went a bit to far and maybe no one is interested anymore.

for other clubs, United had been linked. it's just that, there are obstacles that prevent them from bringing in other stars of the caliber of Osimhen or Mbappe. however, if United changes ownership by Qatar. it is not impossible, if Osimhen will be their main target.
The English league would have been a good place for Osimhen to show his worth again, because of the good competition, but because his contract with Napoli still has like two years left, many clubs will not be willing to spend so much money to try to force the club to sell. Chelsea have already spent a lot of money, so it is very slim chance for them to need to make another expensive signing. Osimhen will remain in Italy, I do not believe that the French club PSG will be able to bring him.
Napoli had an impressive 2022/2023 season when winning Serie A early and reaching the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Victor Osimhen's brilliant performance became a hot commodity in this transfer window. However, I think Napoli Aurelio will not let their number 1 striker leave the club, they will find ways to keep Osimhen.
As for PSG, they will not be in a hurry to look at Osimhen, because Mbappe still has a 1-year contract with them and there has been no move to confirm that Mbappe will leave them in this summer market. Victor Osimhen will be the focus of Bayern Munich and Man Utd, these two clubs are lacking a talent like him, they want to own his signature.

The problem is napoli was even putting increasing his price once the club knew that if PSG was willing to buy him. Napoli is not putting osimhen's release clause around €150m again. It's now €180m. Napoli tries even harder to make sure osimhen to stay a bit longer in the club at least till next season. Osimhen may refuse the new contract from napoli. His price doesn't even make sense. These days so many clubs were putting on sense prices for their players. PSG was destroying the price of player once the club bought neymar and mbappe with non sense price.
The requested sum by Napoli in his release clause surpasses Osimhen's market value by a large margin. That will be a big gamble for PSG if the club will take him as a replacement for mbappe.
So much news rumored mbappe already made an agreement with real madrid but there is no further confirmation regarding this. I thought that this rumor was probably fake. Real madrid is not having that amount of money to buy mbappe from PSG.
