These days we see on the news that Benzema is going to leave Real Madrid for the Arabian team because he is getting old and won't have good performance anymore because of his age. This can be true especially when you think Benzema is currently 35y old and this can be better for Real Madrid to find a player to replace with him for the next season.
On the other hand, Benzema is getting near to end of his career, and playing the Arabian team can help him to earn much more just like what Ronaldo did when he moved to Saudi teams.
Karim Benzema is aging and should leave a competitive club like Real Madrid since he will be pulled from the squad sooner or later if he does not perform to expectations. It appears that these Saudi Arabia clubs have the financial resources to attract great stars to their league, all in the effort to make their league recognizable globally. The Saudi Arabia club made a huge offer for Karim Benzema, which is more than his current salary at Real Madrid. The Frenchman is mulling a transfer away from Santiago Bernabeu in the summer, though nothing has been finalized. Carlo Ancelotti has Benzema in his plans for the Los Blancos next season in case he changes his mind.
It's very obvious when we review the present performance of Benzema his has lost his touch as far as his pace and scoring ability is concern and definitely age is already catching up with him, recall in their last semi final match against Man City Benzema had few touches throughout the period he is on the field and doesn't have the ability to track back to midfield as usual, I believe as Ancelloti is trying to rebuild the team he should release Benzema and scout for a bery young experience formidable striker possibly Mbappe if he can play a striking role or Victor Osimen is another option.

With a major offer from Saudi Arabia on the table for Benzema, and a tough campaign blighted by injury in Madrid, honestly, Benzema will to be considering a departure. But at the same time, Real Madrid are also hopeful of extending Benzema’s contract for a further year. I’d love him to leave now, he still have 2-3 active years to play and earn more, other than stay in Spain and lose form. Two names Real Madrid are focusing on at the moment in case he leaves are Harry Kane and Roberto Firmino, but Kane seems complicated at the moment because of his price and Daniel Levy's tactics.

It looks like Manchester United are already preparing to offer a new contract to Lisandro Martinez because of his great services for the team so far. Thanks to him and Varane both the defense has been pretty solid. We see their absence a lot when they are absent. The recent days must be a great example for that as they couldn't win some matches while Martinez and Varane both were injured. I don't think Martinez wouldn't lean towards such agreement as he must be happy here.

However his current contract already lasts until 2027 so I don't think there is any need to be in a rush. Maybe they want to do this to fend off interests in him but instead they can spend the money on new necessary transfers.

Well, with that contract until 2027, they are making sure you have a solid defense, mainly these players can be very good, what they should do is something with the attack, I don't see Man United very well in the attack, sometimes I see that they don't make sense when they arrive and do nothing, it's as if they sometimes have a lack of luck, but with a forward loose, who is daring and can take the defenders with some good dribbles would be the best, of course, this is not the one style of play that the Manchester coach likes, which limits him greatly, that's why I would like to see Manchester without a Ten Hag that limits them so much , they were in a Europa League and didn't win it , so this already means a lot.

I don't think Benzema is ready to leave Real Madrid now despite his age.He has won so much for the club,and would want to hang his boot their.They now most of the times rely on him to score the goals in the team,and with the special treatment they are giving to him at Madrid,I don't think he want to go to any other place now.
Benzema can leave from real madrid anytime. Only if there would be a good offer come to him. He may re-consider his decision to stay in real madrid even longer. I think that if benzema realizes that if his journey with real madrid is almost coming to its end.
There have been some candidates who potentially replace him in santiago bernabeu very soon.

Joselu and Firmino have been very close to the real madrid. I think that benzema's era will be passing soon. I hope that if he will get a new place that can give him good amounts of money. He has been getting so many trophies with real madrid.
It's time for benzema move on from real madrid.



Benzema is about 35 years,but he is still scoring goals on a daily basis,not every player can still be delivering up till this age,he is really a special player,and I wolud even like it if he extends his contract with Madrid.
I do agree with it but since other team was also regenerating their players and real madrid must do that too.

It's caused by once benzma will not able to play anymore and real madrid will not have a good successor for him.

Agree with what you say because this really happened because of a mistake by the top officials at Juventus who did violate it and surely this will have an impact on the club, of course. Talking about Zidane, I actually still hope he returns to Madrid but indeed as you said, the current conditions, even though he is close to Juventus, of course there is still no reaction and a really convincing statement, which means that all possibilities can still happen.
Yep, but in this case there are only two chances because several big EPL clubs and also PSG, who are still insistent on bringing Juventus, were responded to coldly by Zidane because he has problem constraints for EPL clubs and he doesn't seem too interested in PSG but indeed the news is from him who pays attention to Juventus of course it will be welcomed by fans at this time, especially for Juventus fans, although we still cannot conclude because this rumor might not have happened, especially when Conte was always a guest in several previous matches.
for the EPL it is impossible unless there is another statement from Zidane because indeed with the previous statement it is clear that he is not at all interested in the EPL.
But talking about Juventus now there is a new name because indeed in the last few days the name of Fabio Grosso has started to be busy in discussion and could be an alternative to Juventus.

As of Pochettino's signing for becoming Chelsea's new manager officially people are wondering how successful he can be of course. Technically he has a good chance to meet the board expectations next season. He has a pretty good level of experience with Tottenham especially and PSG. He can think of all the points where he made the mistakes so far and try not to repeat them with Chelsea. Nagelsmann was a candidate too and people even said that Boehly was keen on bringing him the most.

Pochettino had better prove why they picked him over Nagelsmann after this. This season was a big mess for Chelsea and he will be expected to make the team have a top 4 finish next time. To do this they need to take the right steps in transfers too. They need to solve the striker issue after Felix's departure.

Pochettino's arrival is defining the start of a new era at Chelsea... record it well.

Obviously no one questioned the ambitions of the new owners... £2.5bn for the club and a further £600m in funding to sign new players over two transfer windows. but not all the investment in the world is enough to build a team that already has two coaches fired, two seasons in a row without trophies and a melancholy 12th place in the Premier League.
But I think Pochettino is the leader Chelsea needed, a manager who remains highly respected in Europe, having led Tottenham to four consecutive top four finishes in the Premier League and a UEFA Champions League final.
It's okay that his "inconsistent" spell at Paris Saint-Germain raised some doubts about his abilities to rebuild a team like the current Chelsea, but that doesn't erase Pochentino's credibility.

What's more, I've been reading that Pochentino has been granted an active decision on player recruitment, so with the "team in hand" I think Chelsea have a chance of getting back on their feet this time.

As reported by Fabrizio Romano, Karim Benzema received a big offer from a Saudi club of around 100 million euros a season but the name of the team is still a secret. It is likely that Benzema will leave Real Madrid in the summer if he is so tempted by such a large amount of money. Even though Benzema has a contract that will expire in June 2024 with Real Madrid and the contract is still valid today. Now Karim Benzema's future will soon be known and it will not be long before we see one of the big transfers of the summer. Anyway I think Benzema should take up the offer as he is too old for the Real Madrid squad and let Los Blancos look for a replacement next season to fill the void he has left.
I read this rumor on Forbes, they also reported the same issue. But we don't know what Benzema's response is, there is no official statement related to the offer yet. Sure, it is a big offer, Benzema will get above $214.2 million for 2 years contract if he is interested. For me, it is an interesting offer for 35 years old player like Benzema.

However, since Benzema is still the best striker at Real Madrid, I am a bit pessimistic that he will consider moving from Real Madrid. Although Real Madrid will sign a new striker, Benzema probably still get enough time to play. Real Madrid plays in many competitions, they need some quality strikers. Moreover, Carlo Ancelotti is very selective to buy new players. He isn't a typical manager who wants rebuild his squad with most new players. He seems only buy a few players who are very needed for the squad. So, I think he is likely to stay in Real Madrid for 1-2 more years.

The failure of those who cannot appear in the Champions League next season is because of their own mistakes that they have done outside of their game this season, yes it is a form of punishment that they have made mistakes they should not have made. If sanctions don't come to them, then they will be one of the clubs participating in the Champions League next season.
Zinedine Zidane has long been rumored to be joining Juventus, and until now these rumors have only been rumors that have never been confirmed by Zinedine Zidane's side. Indeed, some time ago it was heard that Zinedine Zidane would return to coaching, but until now there has been no clear information on which club or which country he will handle.

Zidane to Juventus? That sure doesn't sound right at all. Since departing Real Madrid two seasons ago he has barely agreed to take up a new job. Many clubs like Chelsea, PSG, have approached him in the past but he has not obliged to working with any club  so tell me could it be that He is planning to coach a country?

Recently there have been some rumors saying that there is a link between Zidane and Juventus even though it's still just a hot rumor but indeed this is still very interesting.
But for the EPL and PSG clubs, as I said above, this possibility will still be constrained, different from the current rumors about Juventus and Zidane.

Signing Lukaku and Lauturo Martinez would put players like Madueke, Borja Nkuku at risk,  like this is not making sense,  you have to take care of the pile of players in the club currently,  filter the good ones and the ones the coach would want to work with. Felix wasn't overated the bad and flaws of chelsea also affected him. Back to Atm he will give his best. Pochetino has already started listing player he will work with and let free for the transfer.

There's no need to signing lukaku again as it's owned by chelsea but he has been loaned to the intermilan at this moment. It sounds non sense to signing lukaku for twice while it's still under contract with chelsea.

Lautaro martinez can become a striker that is also having the ability to marking its opponent caused by he was being trained as CB in the past. Madueke was a winger. Chelsea can play with double striker mechanism if lautaro will able to go to the chelsea. Nkuku could become secondary option to be combined with lautaro. There will always be a victim to make the club even better.

that's the main point. Since broja will not be included in the pochettino's plan and no reason to use him anymore. Chelsea needs to build a new thing.

That's why signing lautaro was making sense at this moment.

Joao Felix inconsistency should be pointed to the fact that he has faced too much injury woes as a young player and that has affected his time entirely at Atletico. Also the pattern of football played by Diego Simeone boys is not favourable to slicky players like Felix. At Chelsea he hasn’t been injured since coming and he was certainly one of the there best players in a very poor season by the club. The reason Chelsea are opting out of buying him is that his valuation is just too much for them to handle coupled with the fact that they already have bunch of young talents already in the team and also coming in. So Felix leaving Chelsea wasn’t about his performance but this reasons.

Injuries are always a problem, but he has never been an outstanding striker. The best time he had was back in Primeira Liga and that is when Benfica Lissabon took the opportunity and sold him for an unbelievable amount of money. He was nowhere near a player like Haaland and yet he cost more even then. All his years he played for Atletico Madrid were average if that's not even an exaggeration. I have no idea how much Atletico would be asking, but it is probably too much. Atletico will now try to integrate him into the squad and play a goos season with him. They would never be able to ask the money that they paid for him. That transaction was a spectacular mistake. I don't mean that he is bad, but he has never even nearly justified the price.

Joao Felix will leave Chelsea in the summer and as we know that Joao Felix was indeed on loan from Atletico last winter. This news has been confirmed by Fabrizio Romano and the new Chelsea coach starting next season, namely Pochettino will not include Joao Felix's name on the Chelsea list for the upcoming season. Even though Joao Felix is also very comfortable living at Chelsea and does not rule out the possibility that he will be bought permanently by Todd Boehly if Pochettino wants him. But unfortunately that's not going to happen and Joao Felix will be back at Atletico this summer.

I will rate Joao Felix's chelsea loan a successful one because he made quite an impression with Chelsea, scoring 3 or more goals in the premier league this season. I'm sure he will want to stay at Chelsea if they want him to as he has already made mention before now that he loves Chelsea and is life in England.

Pochettino was a good coach while at Tottenham,but with the present situation at Chelsea,it will take like two years for any manager that will come to Chelsea to either fight for top four,or be able to participate in any Europa competition.I still think Tuchel was the perfect manager for Chelsea,all he needed was time for the players he bought to blend well together,but Chelsea were to impatient with him.They will  continue to suffer to have a very good manager.
I also think if Pochettino is to achieve anything while at Chelsea,he must be ready to start from the scratch,derive his own method,and change the player's mentality so they can think of winning always.

Anyway I think Benzema should take up the offer as he is too old for the Real Madrid squad and let Los Blancos look for a replacement next season to fill the void he has left.
These Saudi clubs are on a mission to develop their league by bringing in great players from Europe, i know for now they can only get players' whose times are up in the big stage in Europe, but these Saudi clubs can start from there and prolly in the next few years and with further improvement to the league, they can then allure young and quality players.

Having said that, i don't think Benzema's time in Europe (and Real Madrid) is up, i think he can still play for 1 or 2 years at the very top level, and in Real Madrid also. I don't know if the club prolly has plans to sign a new and young striker this summer, but nonetheless, i expect Benzema to be fully part of their plans for next season.
As of today, developments coming in says Karim Benzema is contemplating a huge contract offer coming in from Saudi Arabia. If you talk about strength I think Karim Benzema has the energy to go on with Real Madrid for a season more but that option looks likely to be kicked aside because of the tempting offers coming from Saudi. There is nothing more to prove for Benzema at Real Madrid, just like Ronaldo he should accept a deal for the huge money.

It looks like there is positive news from Barcelona side. They have decided to go for a longer period of time with Xavi and he is close to a contract renewal these days. Honestly I must admit that I'm not surprised. Because there was a big progress this season. They won the La Liga title after a three-season break despite not being effective in the Champions League at all.
Actually, Xavi's contract as Barcelona manager still lasts until Jun 30, 2024. We also know that his career was growing in Barcelona, he was a superstar and now he is a manager there. I am sure Xavi won't go anywhere, he must feel comfortable in Barcelona. However, Barcelona management must be worried if there is a big offer from any other top club, so they want to ensure Xavi will stay a longer time in Barcelona by extending his contract early. If he extends his contract, I guess he will stay at least more 3 years in Barcelona. Sure, no one feels surprised about this, he really deserves to get a contract extension earlier. Although he failed in UCL and Europa League, he won La Liga title. It is much better than Real Madrid, this season Real only won Copa del Rey. Well, Xavi must target for UCL title for the next season.

Joao Felix is one of these guys who will probably have played for 10 different clubs at the end of his career. Don't forget that Atletico Madrid could have sold him for 150 million in 2020. His market value dropped significantly and constantly. He is too inconsistent and as you said, he is probably never worth the money that has been paid and offered for him. Maybe it will now finally work out for him when he goes back to Atletico, but there is a reason that he was allowed to leave and go to Chelsea as a loan player. Atletico paid over 120 million for him and now he is worth around 40 million. Cheesy

Joao Felix inconsistency should be pointed to the fact that he has faced too much injury woes as a young player and that has affected his time entirely at Atletico. Also the pattern of football played by Diego Simeone boys is not favourable to slicky players like Felix. At Chelsea he hasn’t been injured since coming and he was certainly one of the there best players in a very poor season by the club.

Anyway I think Benzema should take up the offer as he is too old for the Real Madrid squad and let Los Blancos look for a replacement next season to fill the void he has left.

Benzema shouldn’t be offload just like that Atleast till Real Madrid gets a new younger striker next season. With a younger striker next season along side Benzema, the team will have a proven player and also a developing one lead their attack. But selling off Benzema without having a striker that is banging in goals already would be a huge risk. Moreover Benzema isn’t too to ditched out already they just need to reduce there dependence on him by reducing his game time
