As reported by Transfermarkt that Bayern Munich are interested in signing Pablo Gavi from Barcelona. As we know, his name has now been removed from the Barcelona main squad list due to the polemic that Barcelona has faced and he is re-registered as an academic player. Even so, it seems that Barcelona also doesn't want to let go of one of its young players' assets, but if Bayern Munich wants to spend more, I think Barcelona will consider that.

hmph..
It is unlikely that Barcelona will bring Lionel Messi back to the Blaugrana, the financial conditions they are facing make the deal not go smoothly, plus there is a ban for Barcelona regarding player salaries that must be balanced next season, so Messi's arrival will make the club's financial condition even more chaotic.

Nothing is impossible in football, even though MLS is a place that is often chosen by players who are no longer playing in the big leagues, Cristian Ronaldo's move to the Saudi Arabian league will open up space for other players to come there. The club's financial condition there is more ready to accommodate a player of Lionel Messi's caliber, so there will be a lot of speculation about what will happen next season.

There is a news PSG wants to extend the duration of the contract with Messi for at least one more season. However, we know, PSG's golden boy, Mbappe is not very happy with the presence of other stars at PSG including Messi. PSG must be able to make difficult decisions in this regard. Messi return to Barcelona is actually not that important, because, currently Barcelona performance is pretty good. Xavi just needs to improve the mentality of the players so they can compete in Europe. and about Messi going to Saudi Arabia or MLS just a speculation so far, no official offer from any club from Saudi Arabia nor MLS

I believe that for several more seasons Messi will still play in Europe. In the near future, it is likely that Messi will also extend his contract with PSG. Seeing Barcelona's current condition it seems difficult for La Pulga to be able to return to the Blaugrana uniform, because Messiah's reason for leaving the team from Catalan was purely for financial reasons. Furthermore, if he has a career outside of Europe, MLS is a realistic goal for Messi. I firmly believe Leo will not follow in Ronaldo's footsteps.

Christophe is very lucky to have one of the best player in the world to be in his club, his presence alone will gingered his teammates. Leo Messi is a versatile player and capable of bringing out the best from PSG in top competition. His future is not certain to remain in Paris, he might make a shocking move back to camp Nou if his demands are not reached. Barcá really need Messi and his former teammates are in full support to work with the GOAT. He's an influential player and his targets are top priorities for clubs.

Seems like Julian Nagelsmann won't move to another top club right away. So a Premier League transfer (at this point) becomes a little more unlikely. The German newspaper Bild is reporting:

Taking over a new job in England immediately is not an option for Nagelsmann. The coach still wants to come to terms with the 'painful' dismissal from Bayern and let it sink in. He wants to analyze what went wrong and learn from it before embarking on a new adventure [@BILD]

Source: https://twitter.com/iMiaSanMia/status/1640450064752717825

I almost thought so. Nagelsmann seems to have been hit pretty hard by the end of his time as coach at FC Bayern. I feel bad for him.  Undecided

In this phase, I also think it's wise to first get together and analyze what you can do better at your next club. After all, a job in the Premier League at a top club like Tottenham certainly won't be any easier if you ask me. There, the competition and the pressure situation is probably at least as high as at FC Bayern.

That is why it is important to start the new job with a clear head and a good concept tbh. And I am pretty sure that he will receive many more offers in the summer.

Undoubtedly, Messi will play in Europe for a long time.  Because Messi's performance is getting better day by day.  Since the World Cup we have seen a new Messi who has become much more adept at scoring or creating goals.  So no club in Europe would want Messi to leave Europe.  Maybe every club's dream is to have Messi play in their team but it may not happen due to financial problems.
In the near future, it is likely that Messi will also extend his contract with PSG. Seeing Barcelona's current condition it seems difficult for La Pulga to be able to return to the Blaugrana uniform, because Messiah's reason for leaving the team from Catalan was purely for financial reasons. .
I don't think Messi will extend his contract with PSG.  Because PSG authorities have decided to sell Neymar and Mbappe is contacting Real Madrid to join Real Madrid. If Neymar leaves the club then there is a possibility of Messi moving to Barcelona. Although Barcelona sold him because of money, but if Messi and Barcelona can make an agreement on their salary allowance through bilateral meetings, then Messi's address will be in Barcelona again.

There is still a rumour about Messi to join an MLS team in the summer but I don't think it will be happening for Messi at least this summer.

I expect to see him for at least one more year in Europe honestly. He is just not rushing anything about his future for now. PSG seem ready to extend his contract already but he isn't thinking the same yet. I assume he would be free agent and wait for some time to make his final decision. Barcelona might be his priority but if it doesn't happen then he can continue with PSG.

I don't know if that's correct or not but even if Messi leaves PSG at the end of this season his destination is still unknown and there are many possibilities for him because unlike Ronaldo he can still play at the top team leagues, Since Messi started shining from Barcelona I think there is the possibility for him to return and then retire or he can even join the Asian teams just like Ronaldo to earn more. however, MLS can be another option for Messi as the last destination.

We might not really know the reasons behind his sacking. But you don't drop.10 points at a club like Bayern to second position and expect the board to be smiling at you. The standards are too high. Champions league, 100% yes. But has he won it before? NO!. Club is not confident he can secure either the champions league or the Bundesliga.


If you are always keep update with the latest news and you will know the main reason. Even bayern ceo was giving reasons why naglesmann got sacked.

Quote
Oliver Kahn says Bayern Munich's decision to replace Julian Nagelsmann with Thomas Tuchel as head coach was due to the team playing "less successfully and less attractively" since the World Cup.
https://keepup.com.au/news/nagelsmann-sacked-bayern-ceo-kahn-cites-less-successful-and-less-attractive-football-as-reason-for-change/

I do understand why Oliver Kahn was saying like that especially when we are seeing the performance of bayern in bundesliga is not so good as it's still inconsistent.

You need also see the response from cancelo after he heard that if naglesmann already sacked

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHcbbIXVnpY&ab_channel=AlphonsoDaviesClips

it's clear that if bayern is always looking for a perfect coach who can handle the team go to the to the success

I think senior club managers can also make mistakes.  I am curious about Thomas Tuchel's performance like everyone else.  Despite Nagelsmann's not bad statistics, his brutal dismissal from the club even took place in the world press.  Many sports commentators said they found it pointless.  I hope Tuchel draws a good graph from Nagelsmann.
That was indeed brutal and happened suddenly when no one see it coming that fast. I believe most people expect him to be sacked if Bayern lose Bundesliga title or get kicked from Champions League. That wasn't the case obviously that's why everyone is talking about it.
Bayern have high standards and when they see a bad trending they just cut it off without much hassle. Poor Nagelsmann, he didn't deserve that but I assume he expected it at any moment. This doesn't mean that Tuchel will get green lights to do whatever they want or an immunity from being sacked, it all depends from the results.

It doesn't feel like Messi would share the same fate as Ronaldo. I mean I don't expect Messi to join a team in the Saudi Arabia league.

I'm sure that some team in this league would be ready to offer an incredible amount of money to increase the quality more in their league. But it just feels like Messi wouldn't choose that country if he decides to leave Europe. He might prefer MLS or maybe even his first team in his career which was Newell's Old Boys. But it is much better to watch him playing for the biggest teams in Europe honestly.
Who knows? everybody were not believe Ronaldo would join Al Nassr because Saudi Arabia league is really unpopular and not interesting. But Ronaldo prove everybody if he have joined Saudi Arabia league because there's no any champions league club want to sign him and they can't afford to pay Ronaldo's salary.

If Messi is really loyal and want to achieve more trophies, why he joined PSG instead of staying in Barcelona until he retired?

There are conditions where now if Conte returns to Inter after leaving Tottenham maybe this could be something else from the Lukaku drama because we know Lukaku and Conte really get along and Lukaku himself is Conte's favorite child which makes Lukaku's performance shine at Inter too not regardless of Conte's services. This could be another consideration but this is unlikely because seeing Lukaku's current price it is certain that Inter will think further even if Conte is around.
On the other hand, after Conte left Tottenham, there is currently no further news about this, especially for a new club.
This is only one of the possibilities that will happen when indeed Conte is at Inter but until now as you said, you still haven't commented further about Conte's future now that he has left Tottenham. Even though there have been a number of clubs linked today but that is just a rumor without any real certainty there.
Conte has been known as a cold-handed coach and he was even able to give trophies to every team he coached, but for some reason he failed at Tottenham?
I think if Conte was not able to give trophies to Tottenham then I don't think there will be a coach who will really be able to do it, the only way for tottenham at this time is to change and make a major overhaul of the tottenham squad as was done by their eternal rival (arsenal), If not of course the arrival of a new coach (whoever) it  is unlikely to provide great contributions to tottenham. .!

Apart from Tottenham, who are rumored to be interested in Nagelsmann, there is also Spanish giant Real Madrid who made an approach with the former Bayern Munich coach. Real Madrid projected Nagelsmann as a replacement for Ancelotti, who is currently also rumored to be the new manager of the Brazilian national team. Nagelsmann was considered appropriate to replace Ancelotti because he was a young coach who had successfully brought Bayern Munich to several titles.

If these rumors are true, I believe Nagelsmann will choose Real Madrid over Tottenham, because given the great history that Real Madrid has made and Nagelsmann can continue this tradition. To train Real Madrid is not easy and is exactly like training Bayern Munich, because the club has big players who sometimes have their own egos, but Nagelsmann has managed to keep the Bayern Munich squad solid and maybe that is also a consideration for Real Madrid's management
I'm surprised Real Madrid is trying to negotiate with Nagelsmann. If we compare his achievement with Ancelotti, Ancelotti is still much better than him. The current bad results got by Real Madrid aren't totally caused by Ancelotti. I think the main problem is the quality of Real Madrid attackers, they are lack of quality strikers, they only rely on Benzema. To deal with the problem is signing top strikers, not changing the coach.  Cheesy

Sure, Nagelsmann will choose Real Madrid if he gets the offer from Real Madrid. But I assume it is just a rumor, I think Real Madrid will try to keep Ancelotti for the next few seasons.


No way if real madrid have to replace a world class manager like ancelotti with julian nagelsmann especially if real madrid win the champions league , there is nothing wrong with ancelotti ... he is doing good at real madrid so far , just because he's been rumored going to take the brazil national team offer doesn't mean he will do it.

I tend to bet that nagelsmann might join tottenham or chelsea rather than to real madrid , no way.

Even Julian Nagelsmann himself was shocked at his dismissal, that's to tell you how shocking the decision was, Nagelsmann maintained a 100% record thus far in the CL this season with Bayern Munich and his team is only a point behind Borussia Dortmund in the bundesliga table, thus his dismissal was not justifiable.

The hierarchy at the club were asked why Nagelsmann was dismissed, but their answers were not enough to warrant it. Anyway i am happy that Tuchel now has a job, and for Nagelsmann he is now being linked with the vacant position at Tottenham hostpur as Antonio Conte has also been fired yesterday, thus i don't know if Nagelsmann would take up the vacant position or if he would wait for the summer and see if there are other clubs that would want him.

the result against dortmund will tell us the truth about whether that was a good decision by bayern or not. There are some bayern's players are pros and cons with naglesmann that got sacked by bayern. The comentators need to see what's gonna be the result for upcoming match. That will give them a reason to give a criticism to the bayern for sacking naglesmann without a good reason. It would not surprise me to see that there will be a lot of comments about the club if tuchel will be losing against dortmund on his first match with bayern.

Naglesmann may perform better if he has been given another chance to be bayern's coach even longer. It's a choice that already choosen by bayern. Let's see what's gonna be the result.
Bunch of people will be mocking this club if bayern lose against dortmund.

some bayern's players didn't agree with the decision to replace naglesmann when he is still having good record in UCL.

Now that Conte is gone from Tottenham the rumors are all over the place that they are already in touch with Nagelsmann, but I don't think Nagelsmann will do it unless they pay him a salary he can't ignore. Going from Bayern to Tottenham is a step back rather than one forward. Yes he would be in the Premier League and it is all good, but there is nothing to be won with Tottenham now. If you guys were Nagelsmann, would you go to Tottenham now? With the squad they have and in the position they are in now?
Why not, isn't this a good offer for Nagelsmann at the same time? He is fed up with his departure from Bayern Munich, other than there are no offers in a short time so it is possible that Nagelsmann will agree. Even though this season Tottenham is not much different from last season, it is always in an unclear position, maybe with the management of Nagelsmann there will be slight changes.
Going from Bayern to Spurs would be a big change. Not just because Bayern is a better team, that's not the point, like if he moved to Dortmund, then Bayern is still a better team but he would be used to that. However, the type of football played at bayern and played at Spurs are very different and using those players would be very hard.

Nagelsmann is not a tactical genius neither, he is a genius on who to get at what position to make the team better, hence why so many people wanted him as their football director, I would trust him blindly on transfers, but when it comes to tactics he is not that great like some others. Conte would be better there for example.
