I read this rumor yesterday and it seems true that Xabi Alonso will be the next coach's choice if Ancelotti leaves Real Madrid next year. Maybe Zidane won't return to Real Madrid if it's not really needed and I think Real Madrid chose Xabi Alonso because he has a more modern style of play, maybe that was one of Real Madrid's judgments about signing him. Now Real Madrid will definitely not be confused anymore regarding Ancelotti's replacement and the rest of them will focus on all competitions next season first.

The squad size is extremely large, so the club is getting rid of players who have less than a year left on their contracts and those who spend the majority of their time out injured. It appears that only James and Kepa will remain from the 2020 CL winning squad after the ongoing clearance.

It was long overdue; this is the best way to build another competitive team while staying within the FFP with our incomings after spending over €600 million last summer.

No more zidane for madrid as perez has found the most suitable replacement for ancelotti next year. Im very happy if xabi will be a new coach for real madrid next year. Xabi has been passing a sensational season with leverkusen last year. Xabi came at the middle of season and he was able to change everything in leverkusen. Im feeling if xabi gonna be another greatest coach in the future. I do like the way he coaches his club. I hope that xabi will become the next coach for real madrid.

Im feeling so good to see how bayern was able pushing leverkusen from relegation zone to the middle of standing in bundesliga.

The Frenchman news continues to circulate on football-related sites, and I believe it is an appropriate moment for Mbappe to decide whether to sign a long-term contract with PSG or accept the offer on the market. Kylian Mbappe's future is uncertain because he has yet to extend his contract with the Parisians and does not want to trigger an exit move from Parc des Princes this summer; the board cannot afford to lose him as a free agent, definitely it would be a hugh loss for PSG if he leaves as free agent next season; he's a big catch and also on Real Madrid's radar this season.

Randal Kolo Muani could be the best transfer Frankfurt have made in their history so far. Because they signed him on a free transfer and now his value has reached €80m. It was only €20m when he first came here. That is a really huge increase as a result. He is only 24 years old now also. He is such a great centre-forward right now.

Because he isn't only a centre-forward who scores goals and does nearly nothing other than that. His statistics this season were amazing - 46 games; 23 goals, 17 assists. He is the kind of a striker that many top teams would like to see in their squad. He is known by wasting that huge goal chance with France shirt in the World Cup maybe but he is a really skilled player in fact.

I don't think he won't get offers this summer. His value is really high but I think there would be still teams trying their luck. The most recent rumours are related to Newcastle.

It's true, Mbappe's future is now being widely linked with Real Madrid and this connection started when Madrid was looking for a world-class striker, Ancelotti plans to prepare a coating as well as a substitute for Benzema's figure and I'm sure Real Madrid already know that they are not Mbappe's goal. , so it's useless if they still plan to get it, it's not going to happen. Mbappe has said that he will stay with PSG until his contract is finished, on the other hand I think PSG has no objection to releasing him to Real Madrid but that only applies for now before the contract expires, because after all if that happens next season when the contract runs out, it's the same as PSG will get nothing. But yes, it all comes back to Mbappe's decision where if he really chooses to stay with PSG until his contract expires, it is certain that PSG will gain nothing from his departure and Real Madrid also cannot expect too much from his arrival.

If you have been a long-time Madrid fan you should have understood for a long time what Peres wanted for the future of Madrid. Because so far Madrid is not in a hurry to buy, buy, and just buy. Keep in mind that compatibility is the main thing, it's useless to buy lots of players but in the end they don't match each other. Look at Chelsea who rush to buy here and there and when they find a mismatch in the end they can't solve the problem at hand. So I believe Perez is doing it very carefully and not recklessly just because the transfer window is still open.

Maybe you don't agree with Joselu recruitment, right? just because it doesn't mean Madrid is showing bad results? This is still the early stages of the transition, so you need to be very careful not to make a fatal decision. Florentino Perez has been monitoring Joselu for a long time and his progress will surely be monitored. Because of that Madrid dared to take it back. Even though Joselu's track record is not very good at Espanyol, because Joselu is a player from Madrid he will again show significant changes. Perez's hopes are indeed like that and hopefully, Joselu arrival will help the Madrid attack line a little, even though it is not 100% a suitable replacement for Benzema. Meanwhile, next year Mbappe is free without the need to incur large costs.

TBH, its not that surprising actually if you ask me. We all know about the Chelsea situation with FFP and with deadline coming near which is on June 30th, it was evident they will sell most of the players. I think I have written about the situation somewhere last week, yeah got it ^[1]. Using your list and editing it to see how much Chelsea has recovered from the sales.

• Kai Havertz >>> Arsenal : 70m Euro [fixed] + 6m Euro [add-ons] ✅
• Kovacic >>> City: 30m Euro ✅
• Kante >>> Al-Ittihad: Free ✅
• Ziyech >>> Al-Nassr: Still in negotiation ⏳
• Koulibaly >>> Al-Hilal: 25m Euro ⏳
• Mendy >>>Al-Ahli: Both combined with Koulibaly deal reported to be 40m Euro ⏳
• RLC >>> AC Milan interested (reports about 2-3 weeks ago) !?
  
• Mount >>> Manchester United: Chelsea wants 60-65m Euro⏳
• Pulisic [open to move]
• Kepa [not sure if he is open to move but I think Chelsea will keep him]

Recovered: 100m Euro almost
In negotiation: Around 120m Euro
Target: 200m Euro of Player sales

Yeah, its bit crazy that they are letting go most of the players that helped them in CL in 2019 but right now that's the only way to get out of this FFP situation.

Its actually a good thing these Chelsea players are leaving Chelsea because most of them are either surplus to requirement or don't add much to the team. Players like Pulisic and Loftus-Cheek don't add much to the team. They're good players no doubt but they are not just as productive as they should be in Chelsea.
Kante is been plunged by injuries recently.
Another reason the squad overhaul is necessary is because the amount of players in Chelsea right now. There are so many players in Chelsea and they need to sell to stay on the positive side of the FFP rule. Hopefully Chelsea get things right this time around and so far they've been dong good business. 

Even before the season ended I knew he was going to leave Manchester City, tracked back to that game he missed the penalty and how Pep Josep Guardiola reacted, I knew they had Internal issues and would grace the chance to leave during the transfer window.
Man City made moves for Kovacic early even before the finals.

I'm no City fan, but I'll miss IIkay Gundogan honestly, he's so much of what is called creativity. But it does seem like Pep Guardiola won't miss him at all. He'll rather be a better help to Barcelona and bring balance and experience to the midfied. I'm sure of Barcelona still defending the La Liga next season.
Gundogan deserves everything that has to do with Barcelona, another player I expect to make the swith you City is Bernado Silva, fantastic player.

Arsenal should understand that when you need a player's services, you simply have to be prepared to pay the team's asking price when they are keen on that price. Instead, they delayed concluding this Declan Rice's agreement, which produced all of this drama for themselves. Similar to how Arsenal lost Mudryk to Chelsea, when you hesitate to pay the asking price, another team may enter the fray in an attempt to sign the player. When they offer a better price and the offer is sufficiently persuasive, the team and player will quickly choose the better offer. They should have paid the 100m West ham was asking for when they were alone in the race but now that Manchester United have joined the race it may become difficult to secure this player. Arsenal needs to be more serious when buying a player.

Real Madrid were lacking so much in their defensive line last season that some players had to switch roles from playing in midfield and move to the defence to help out since they were not so many options to play that position, they made playing their original role a second option and played in the defence to start games. Some players like Camavinga. With more players in the team, more solid defensive options, Camavinga can move back to were he can also play very well which is the midfield.

Real Madrid did not have a goal scoring problem last season, since Benzema has left there was a need to get a new striker. With long term goals, Mbappe is who they have always wanted, since he wants to move, waiting for him with Joselu is okay. In games where Joselu cannot score, players like Vini jr, Rodrygo and others can score.

This is not related to saving the budget but indeed Madrid has no way to bring mbappe if they have a chance I believe Madrid is willing to pay more than 100 million
I know at this time the situation, Mbappe hasn't extended the contract and could have left next season but I don't think PSG will let him go just like that. They will do everything they can, including selling it at a cheaper price, assuming the extension of the contract is canceled, what is clear is that Madrid is not the main goal.

Real madrid has been making very good decision by signing a very cheap striker like joselu. So many madrid fans are skeptical but i do know that if this is a part of a strategy that owned by ancelotti and perez. If madrid can save up to 100 millions for mbappe for next year and why not? that's why real madrid was only taking joselu from espanyol as loan. Joselu was also very happy to play with madrid.
I think that if this gonna be one of the important thing. Madrid can use 100 millions of money for something better than giving it to the PSG. Mbappe's contract will end next year.
that will not gonna be a difficult task for madrid to attract mbappe to join in the club. Im supporting the decision by madrid to take joselu rather than rushing to get mbappe.

Ancelotti is aware of it, that's why he asked for a more striker to sign before the new season begins. But a rumor said that Perez thinks Real Madrid doesn't need more new players. I'm worried that Ancelotti may leave Real Madrid if he isn't allowed to sign a new striker. This situation is almost similar to Zidane's case, it triggered Zidane leaving Real Madrid at that time.

Real Madrid has no problem with the midfield line, they have many options there. There are many good midfielders, both old and young players. The problem of Real Madrid is in their defense and attacking lines.

Indeed. Joselu is actually a good striker, he can score many goals last season. But Real Madrid needs a striker who has a great experience in UCL, not only in the local league. Mbappe, Osimhen, Harry Kane, and Vlahovic are the strikers that will fit with the standard of Real Madrid main striker. Unfortunately, the prices of these strikers are expensive and their club managements are difficult to negotiate. They are expected to stay in their current clubs, so the chance to sign them looks a bit small.

Im happy with this news. Chelsea will able to maximizing the new striker. Havertz was helping chelsea so much in winning so many trophies but he is not fit to the chelsea right now as a striker. I know that if ST has not become his best position. He must be playing behind the attacker.
So many arsenal fans are feeling skeptical for this transfer but arteta may have different opinion regarding this transfer. 60 millions are good amounts of money for him consider he has experienced in so many competitions.
That's pretty much the same like jorginho transfer from chelsea. Let's see how good performance from havertz in arsenal. i don't put big expectation for havertz.
In my opinion that if the gunners fans shall not underestimate hvertz before he will be playing for chelsea.

Gallagher already linked to the brighton. This club seems interesting to sign him as a new player next season.

Rushing is never good. If any work has to be done in haste, there will be mistakes in the work. In that case, Real Madrid should not make such a big mistake in signing any player, they keep an eye on every player. Apart from keeping an eye on each player, they offer a player based on how well they did in the league or how much advantage the team would gain by taking them. Every player wants to play for Real Madrid but many players are unable to join Real Madrid despite their desire due to not being able to show enough of their skills. I think Real Madrid will never sign a player unless they get a suitable player.

It is easy to remember that those players won the champions league seasons ago but it is not easy to remember that those players are also the people that wanted to send Chelsea to relegation this ended season.
I support Pochettino and I believe he has his plans and targets. It is not all about having good players but the big question is of they play together as a team or they play destructively.
Average players playing as a team is better than star players playing solo and greedy football.

Pochettino will definitely hold back players he feels can strengthen his team. and letting go of a few that are not in Pochettino's plans won't be a problem.
Chelsea shouldn't be too bad next season. it will indeed be hard work for Pochettino, because indeed there are several players who want to leave the team and some who survive must be optimistic about Pochettino's coaching.
hopefully it will be good, even before the pre-season games they have to be prepared.

After the news said that WHU rejected an offer from Arsenal, Manchester United immediately had the intention to hijack Declane Rice, you're right about the rumors saying that Manchester United also offered 2 players (Maguire and McTominay) apart from money. Of course, this situation is very profitable for WHU, they get money + players.
