If this is the case, it's a shame, because he's a great player and he has a long way to go, it would be a shame if he didn't try out for another team at his age , for me, teams like Manchester who have a coach who don't produce results should leave because they will be tied to a level of football where they will always show and expect the same game , also Ten Hag for me Personally is not good , neither as a Person or as a coach , they have already Given him many opportunities and he does not give good news , So as long as they continue in that cycle, I believe that they will never be able to say that they are going to go to another Level.


Well apart from seeing it the way you say it , I also see it as a resource that now in Arabia they are highlighting , they want to raise their level of fútbol anyway, and that is why they are Targeting the best players, those players who are very good, but Due to European football mistakes they are no longer accepting them, Mesi style, CR7, Benzema, and more, in this order of ideas seeing that it is working to take them, they also have to increase the level of thought and strategy, that's why they point to Allegri, In addition, with those amounts of Money that they offer, it is quite Difficult to say no , Really each one has the power of Decision.

It's insane how money can change an entire sports landscape and they are just beginning with their project in Saudi Arabia. In China politicians intervened and capped the salaries when they went through the roof a couple of years ago. That is why there are no more transfers to China these days while back then it became popular for a little while as they paid average players high double digit salaries. A cap is not to be expected in Saudia Arabia as it is the state's bosses themselves who invest the money into these players and the league. This will go on for a very long time and nobody knows when they will stop and if they will stop or if they are using their money to even build their own associations or push the plan for a super league with the saudi league being part of it or even leading it.

Allegri may leave Juventus after all.
The rumor of today is about an offer for him in Saudi Arabia for 30+ m/€

If the rumor will be confirmed I can't see how he will refuse it.

Real Madrid is always very careful selling players. They do not sell a player for whom they do not have a replacement in place. Real Madrid’s going with an old generation. I don’t remember when was the last time I saw this type of old player being in the main squad of Real Madrid.

I don’t know if La Liga is it farmers league or not. There are other leagues which are much less competitive compared to La Liga. But at the same time, I cannot say that La Liga is one of the most competitive as well. It is very true that three clubs are the most competitive, and those three, Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Atletico Madrid are generally in the top three.

Manchester United have considering to loaned Mason Greenwood to other teams because they want to give him more minutes to play so he can get back to his best performance again and we all know Greenwood status is still suspended because stumbled upon a legal case but because he has a contract until 2025 with Manchester United so probably Ten Hag will considering to using him again and about loan option it says 3 Italian teams have already contact Manchester United to loan Greenwood and they are Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan but Manchester United only will allowed to loan him to the team who can ensure Greenwood can playing regularly for each matches

That will be a great transfer for Liverpool. Benjamin Pavard can give Klopp a really good option especially when he can play at both central defence and as right back as well. Manchester United also is reported to be in the race but since they are so much focused on Kim Min Jae, I would say that Liverpool have good chance on getting hands on Benjamin Pavard here. Would love to see him play in PL. I do wonder how much Bayern are expecting for Pavard here.


I believe that his role is pretty much clear as it is certain that he has become a crucial member of the squad and is a first team player. I would say Arsenal are offering contract extension early as they want to secure the player for a long term so that other clubs keep him out of radar for the time being.



William Saliba was impressive in his loan at Marseille and had an impressive season which earned him regular chance at Arsenal. He really had a great season and saved us lot of money which we would have spent in transfer window buying another strong defender. He deserves a better contract and it seems that contract extension is done as reported by Romano ^[1].

We must be waiting until some billionaires from saudi arabia will acquire some mediocre clubs in la liga. The same thing like what happened in the EPL. After some saudi billionaires were acquiring some mediocre clubs and the tension in the league has been changing a lot.

There have been so many clubs that were climbing up even higher like manchester city.

Waiting for almeria, cadiz or even valencia to get saudi billionaires as the new investors.  This will so funny if there will be some mediocre clubs that evolved after it gets billions of money from its owner.

Im not sure if madrid, barcelona and atletico will able to always dominating the league. 

Farmers league indeed lol
Funny as it may sound quite true also , these never change positions that much and its  easy to pick the next team to win the cup in the next season based on this farmers league belief 

Hope this changes in the coming years to make league more competitive!

As bad as this may look, these top guys were bound to leave the club especially that they are coming of age and a  new generation was due to be introduced and their timing wouldn't have been any better!

As for the Bad season I dont know about that, academy and a few new players to fill the shoes of the greats  that are leaving should fix this...

Real Madrid confirmed that one of its players who had just returned from a loan period from Milan was Brahim Diaz. We know that his actions have been great for several seasons and with Milan he also led the team to win the Scudetto in season 21/22. Now Real Madrid's attack line has more and more player options and I think this will be the start of Real Madrid's rise in all competitions next season. Brahim Diaz's contract expires at the end of the season, but he has also reached an agreement with Real Madrid to extend his contract until 2027.

La Liga is a farmer league, the top 1,2, and 3 always Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, they just swipe their position and there's no club can compete against them. I think the reason why Real Madrid is successful in international competition is their key players are still playing, it's not like Barcelona where most of their players were retired and they need to make a regeneration.

With Casemiro leaving and followed by Benzema, Real Madrid will make some regeneration. The big change happen when both Kroos and Modric performance aren't good enough, Real Madrid might have a bad season like Barcelona in the last year.

No arsenal. Manchester city will not repeat the same mistake again to sell its player to the its rival. You shall aware about what happened with zichenko in the past. it has been confirmed that if gundogan will possible move to the barcelona rather than arsenal.
I will remove arsenal from your list caused by it's not possible anymore. barcelona has been trying so hard to get gundogan from manchester city. It seems like that gundogan will also able to change his mind if manchester city will be failed to win UCL.
I think that was the main reason why gundogan has been explaining to wait after the end of final match that will commence very soon.

It's caused by gundogan itself is not sure with his decision. that's why he is trying to make sure what's gonna be the result from the match against intermilan very soon.
The result from final of UCL will be affecting his choice to leave or stay in the manchester city for another season.
City has been ready to sign kovacic from chelsea as a replacement for him.
I think that barcelona is the strongest candidate right now.

Yes, this is very reasonable, and indirectly those players who have just joined Real Madrid will be able to get at least some achievements when they join a good team. Real Madrid always impresses, especially in the Champions League, their game is very solid, and is always able to dominate in every match. Harry Kane is indeed being linked with Real Madrid in the upcoming transfer market, Real Madrid sees that Kane's performance and quality will be able to replace Benzema who has left the team to go to Arab. Previously Real Madrid had held talks with Tottenham regarding Kane negotiations. Real Madrid has offered 100 million euros to Tottenham to be able to sign Kane, Real Madrid is willing to spend that much to be able to sign him. In my opinion, at that price, it is still reasonable for a player of Harry Kane's class because he is one of the strikers who has complete quality on the blue continent.

Ødegaard has a contract with Arsenal till 2025. I believe this is just going to be done because he deserves a better role in the team. The amount of money will also be changed. But I believe the main reason was to get a better role in the squad.

William Saliba has certainly impressed. Actually, Arsenal as a team had impressed. It is just that Arsenal was not consistent enough towards the end.

Anyway, William Saliba performed well. I believe that the contract extension off him with Arsenal is going to be good for both parties. It will be interesting to see how Arsenal performs in the Champions League.

Saturday's gossip:

Paris St-Germain are planning a move for Manchester City's Portugal midfielder Bernardo Silva, 28, this summer as a replacement for the departing Lionel Messi. Is it even possible to find a replacement for a player like Messi?
Manchester City have held initial talks with RB Leipzig over the signing of Croatia defender Josko Gvardiol, 21. If the rumors are true, Gvardiol could become the most expensive defender in history, and join another Croatian in Manchester City, Kovacic.
Saudi side Al-Ahli are ready to offer Algeria winger Riyad Mahrez, 32, a contract worth £40m a year to leave Manchester City this summer. Football clubs in Saudi Arabia seem to have truly unlimited finances and currently offer the best football pension in the world  
Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe has been told he will have £75m to spend this summer with Leicester'sEngland international James Maddison, 26, their top midfield target and Brighton's21-year-old Ecuadorian Moises Caicedo, Manchester United'sScotland international Scott McTominay, 26, and Chelsea and England's Conor Gallagher, 23, also under consideration.  Newcastle is obviously preparing very well for next season and the Champions League, and will also be a very serious competitor for Manchester City in the championship.

Ibrahimovic isn't one of the best examples, he is one of the best exceptions. People aren't amazed about players like Ibrahimovic or Modric because they are some of many, but because they are true exceptions. This is not going to be a trend I believe unless population is getting older anyway. That will also shift the average age for peak performance and decline in performance, but generally speaking Ibrahimovic certainly is an exception. It then is important to see whether players know how to compensate for certain aspects of their game that are in decline. Messi isn't as fast as he used to be ten years ago, but he understands how to compensate for it by playing a different role during the game.

Real Madrid has been the most consistent club so far in both the domestic league and in international competition, indeed they don't always win every season but they have never experienced a dark period where their achievements have slumped as experienced by other clubs including their competitors in Laliga Barcelona which due to mismanagement experienced a financial downturn that resulted in them not being so impressive.
Every player targeted by Real Madrid will be happy to accept it even though the salary value is not always high because the certainty of getting a title can be obtained at this big club. The success of bringing in Jude Bellingham was a brilliant move and in Laliga Barcelona must be wary of how Real Madrid returns to its best level next season which is a threat for Barca to retain the title, and it would be even more extraordinary if Harry Kane could also go there but it doesn't seem like an easy thing for Madrid to get.

Manchester City's odds of losing one of the English Premier League's most undervalued midfielders are 50/50 because no one is certain of his departure. Ikay Gundogan will not reveal any discussions until after the Champions League final; the German has a lot on his mind, but he is completely focused on tonight's match in Istanbul. There are multiple bids on him, and I'm very sure he'll turn down bids from the gunners because his standards won't fit in with mediocre teammates. Arsenal has a huge list of potential players on their radar, and they are eager to complete the essential ones.
