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. 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.

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

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.
Buying or introducing well-known stars to the Saudi Arabian league is an advertisement strategy to woo both quality players and investors. The presence of Benzema and others will encourage more younger players to come to the league. This will no doubt increase the quality of play in the once-unknown league. With an increase in quality players, more sponsorship deals will find their way to the league which will lead to an increase in the financial standings of these Arabian clubs.

Benzema might still be a top-class footballer and may want to remain in Europe but the money Saudi is ordering is very tempting. The world footballer's performance will not improve any further because of his age and he has almost won everything as a player. This might be his opportunity to make money. His decision now will be based on either passion or money.

Moreover, in this case the age of Maddison and Tielemans is actually still in a fairly productive age condition at 26 years so it is quite clear that with this condition they will not stay at Leicester, especially since they have dropped to caste 2 which is still quite interesting but not as much attention as the Premiere League.
Now after some previous big clubs about Maddison today there are some rumors that Newcastle has started preliminary talks and after City's previous 50 million now there is an offer of 70 million from Newcastle to Leicester for the desire to get Maddison for next season.
In addition there were some notices with Tottenham but looking at the clubs with middle eastern sheikhs competing now it seems hopeless for Tottenham.
Now it seems that it's only a matter of money, but even if it is possible, Rice will definitely weigh which team he will choose in the future.
The conditions are simple because indeed when Manchester City or Bayern actually have a guarantee for him in terms of trophies but of course that has to be accompanied by performance which still has to be very good especially at a big club like this of course when you lose the competition then it's over but on the other hand for Newcastle the guarantee for him in regular football is huge but whether he will want to be here because it is guaranteed a title is not certain. But with the price being offered now from Newcastle and with their current condition in the Champions League, of course this will also provide a big lure for Rice's career going forward.

Joao Felix is no longer on the target list for Chelsea's main squad due to Pochettino decision, so we need to know what steps Pochettino really wants in overhauling the composition of Chelsea's players for next season. Moreover, from a game perspective, it is really needed where Chelsea should have an ideal place in the Premier League. After Joao Felix, I'm sure there are still many players that Pochettino will throw away, one of which might be Mudryk who isn't too promising for the future of The Blues.

Glad to see he will back to the atletico madrid again soon. This guy was over rated in my opinion. Felix's performance was not as good as loaned striker owner by chelsea, lukaku. I remind you that if chelsea is also having nkuku from leipzig.

Chelsea had some good strikers. Felix is not needed in the club. His performance is also very bad at this moment. Poche was thinking about which player that must be/not be included on its plan.

There's the possible plan by pochettino


- Bring back lukaku
- Buy lautaro from intermilan
- Creating duet betwen lukaku/lautaro or Nkuku/lautaro

I think that plot was making sense, Im happy felix backs to the atletico madrid.

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.

I'm also interested in what Bayern are planning in the transfer market. In the end, they were able to admit the fallacy of Kahn's decisions and maybe they will be able to realize that times have changed and they should make top transfers for top money and not wait for someone to come to them almost for free. If not, Tuchel may still be able to make Dortmund champions next season  Grin - how Bayern play in the second halves under his leadership is frightening.

I think they need to make a more profound analysis and then make their decisions. They thought that getting Mane will solve their offensive problems, but I think lots of people disagreed and knew it wouldn't work out as Bayern was hoping for. That transfer was a mistake and if they want to do it right now, they should get a younger striker for lots of money. They can't afford to start into the new season without a really good striker. But this is easier said than done as there are hardly strikers available and if they are, Bayern will have to outbid rich Premier League competitors. Even 80 million doesn't sound like much anymore, but it is still a lot of money for Bayern Munich.

The West Ham United midfielder is the target of many clubs. Bayern Munich and Man City are very serious clubs to have his services. Declan Rice is playing well this season, his good take is level with Belingham, Declan is the best option after they lost to Real Madrid to get Bellingham. Declan Rice could provide a new creative midfielder option. It seems that Tuchel has wanted Declan Rice since he was at Chelsea. Bayern Munich have offered £95 million to West Ham United.

yep, it's like an open secret because Rice's performance this season is quite good and there are lots of big clubs who want his services.
The possibility this season he will leave West ham is certain especially with a few tweets indicating his thanks a while ago anything about which club he is going to at the moment seems to be a mystery because of course West ham wants to see the highest profit in this regard and now it depends on the offerings of some of the big clubs themselves.

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.

Their performance this season has been disastrous and it is a little difficult to accept the fact that they were one of the surprises especially for the championship a few seasons ago but now they have completely lost their potential and have to return to the Championship division.
Some conditions did not go well for them such as when Rodgers who wanted an update for his squad and released some players who were possible to be overhauled but was not done, on the other hand their finances were disrupted because their business in the aviation industry was disrupted due to the pandemic which made their finances clogged and the departure of the goalkeeper and captain who could actually lead to some conditions also left which made them even more devastated.
Now they have to try to start from scratch but in this case I am quite doubtful for Leicester with its star players because I still feel that some players must have left by now especially for Maddison and Tielemans who are actually still interested in several big clubs.

Definitely, the players are not going to stay. There is no reason to stay when they are approached by other clubs. No one wants to play in a team that is getting relegated when they are being approached by other teams which are still in the English Premier League. Or at least not getting relegated. The club will have to work hard and also improve its financial situation so that they can again get promoted to the English Premier League.

With the important players of the team leaving it is going to be definitely harder. But it is not impossible. Certainly not impossible for a club like Leicester City. And I absolutely agree that they will have to start from scratch because the bigger clubs are certainly going to be interested in the players who are performing well and the club will have to find replacement for them. Of course, the replacements are not going to be as good as the previous players but the club will have to work with what they can get.
Moreover, in this case the age of Maddison and Tielemans is actually still in a fairly productive age condition at 26 years so it is quite clear that with this condition they will not stay at Leicester, especially since they have dropped to caste 2 which is still quite interesting but not as much attention as the Premiere League.

Nagelsmann was sacked just as Bayern were in contention for the treble, but in the end the substitution only resulted in Bayern being lucky that Dortmund were generous and gave them the title at the last minute. I'm not sure if Nagelsmann could have beaten City, but most likely the team would have played more reliably in the DFB-Pokal and the Bundesliga than in the face of the sudden change in situation due to the arrival of a new coach in the middle of the season.
I think that if naglesmann has not sacked by kahn and he will have more chance to make bayern won at least two trophies. It's not like this time where tuchel was relying on its luck like that match against koln. Kahn was happy with the single trophy that has been winning by bayern.
The only problem if bayern's directors are anti-critics that came from the fans. They are very selfish.

I wonder what squads that will be planned by tuchel for this upcoming season. The bundesliga has ended and it's the time for us move on from bundesliga this season.

The new season will come in august. it's time for all of teams in the bundesliga to take rest after a very long journe this season.

Let's see, Tuchel comes in a difficult position. There was no adaptation time for Tuchel, he was given a tough task when the end of the season began. While for now I don't mind champions they are considered lucky. Any great coach will struggle in Tuchel's position. Maybe if the end of next season he remains bad and no better than this season, the management will have to evaluate him.

Mauricio Pochettino have made the decision that João Félix will not be featuring for Chelsea in the next season. It seems like a well thought-out and highly better decision by Poch, who has been watching Chelsea games. From where things stand currently, it appears that Chelsea might be focusing more on bringing experienced players on board. However, this begs the question that who is better than João Félix at Chelsea at the moment?
The arrival of a new coach, namely Pochettino, made various decisions appear, maybe this is indeed the best step from the decision issued by Pochettino. On the other hand, Felix admits that he is happy to be playing with the Blues in the second half of this season. But togetherness that will not last long, only last until next season. The reason is, Chelsea does not have a permanent purchase clause for the young star from Portugal. On the other hand, I see Felix will find it difficult if he returns to his original club, namely Atletico Madrid. So far I see that Felix always looks good, Felix has proven to be able to show that he is Chelsea's best signing last January. Felix has scored four goals in 15 appearances in the Premier League. Pochettino is facing a big problem at Chelsea, Todd always hopes that Pochettino's arrival will hopefully improve the team. Hopefully this is the best decision Pochettino takes and I hope Pochettino is able to find the right replacement for Felix's departure.

Chelsea had some good strikers. Felix is not needed in the club. His performance is also very bad at this moment. Poche was thinking about which player that must be/not be included on its plan.

I wouldn't say that he had bad stint at Chelsea. He was one of the players who I felt was actually creating most of the attacks. It's good that Pochettino thought about this and decided Felix not to be part of the plans early. Pochettino certainly has thought about the squad he wants to use and Felix is not part of it. Now that decision could be in many ways but I think given the market value of Felix, Pochettino must have thought it isn't the worth.

It's not about the fees; ATM was willing to take a lower payment because they wanted him gone, and the Chelsea owners were willing to pay. Felix is an exceptional player, but he is a poor team player; he is the type of player that prioritizes himself over his teammates, and there were numerous occasions when he could have set up his teammates for goals but instead chose to play it wide. I like him a lot, but if the coach says he's not a good fit for his system, there's nothing we can do as supporters; we have to support the coach's choice and trust the process.

I expect Chelsea to sign some good defenders because they conceded lot of goals in last season. Its a huge task for Pochettino and I am looking forward to see how he builds up the squad.

That's on Lampard; under Potter, we were the 3rd team in the league with the most clean sheets, the defense was solid, the players were properly placed in their positions, and the team never had a defensive problem until Lampard arrived; the players are there, but Lampard is terrible at setting up his defense line.

Out of all the Chelsea front line players, I prefer Felix over the rest. maybe if given better time with a different style of training, Joao Felix will be able to show his best performance. unfortunately, Felix will be sent home to Atletico Madrid because he is a loan player. plus, Felix's loan contract is too expensive. maybe that's why Pochettino doesn't include Joao Felix in his squad next season. because to patent it as a Chelsea player, Altetico will not let it go for a cheap price.

I think the steps taken by Pochettino are still just the beginning. most likely, there will be several players on the sale list in the next summer transfer window. otherwise, it will be a problem for Chelsea. the first job Pochettino does is to improve Chelsea's players, get rid of the unnecessary and replace them with the ideal players according to his choice. now, Pochettino's move has just begun. we'll see how many players he will release and which players are on Chelsea's radar.

If that is true, then i also agree that this makes totally sense from the perspective of FC Chelsea. Joao Felix has not really performed that well during his stay in London. As far as i know FC Chelsea does not have a buy option for him in his loaning contract. Given the fact, that he did not rally show convincing performances they could maybe get him for relatively cheap because his market value is now down to 50 M€. That being said, if they are not convinced, that he will help them then they should buy him even if he is pretty cheap.
This already makes me wonder if Joao Felix is another one of those extremely hyped young players that are slowly but surely losing relevance and will end up in average teams.

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.
Felix wanted to remain in Chelsea, but that is not going to work for him. He did good to some people and did not do well enough for some others talking about his overall performance. Atletico Madrid will be in champions league and they will need him and what he can provide back in their team. Chelsea on the other hand are rebuilding and need to let many players go, so the new coach can have a better clarity of the players to form his first eleven ahead of next season. Their focus will be finishing first or in top four ahead of the next two seasons champions league.


But Joao Felix at least contributed by recording 4 goals during the bad season experienced by Chelsea and it seems that Atletico really need his services again to navigate all competitions next season. After all, even if Joao Felix stayed he would not be able to appear in the champions league if he was with Chelsea and it seems that Pochettino's decision helped him to return to Atletico.

But I'm still quite surprised by Chelsea's poor performance and the London city team is still under repair, why did he choose to stay huh? does he feel compatible with his colleagues at chelsea. Well, the most important thing now is how Chelsea are able to adapt next season and compete with other strong teams at the top because they will definitely target these results and if not, then maybe they will experience the same process even though they have brought in Pochettino as coach.

I wonder how many top players will decide to remain in Chelsea next season. Most of them came to the club with the expectation that they will be playing in the champions league and some of them came from top clubs. Chelsea have started their next season plan on a good note by bringing in an experienced coach but the have to be patient with him. His target shouldn't be to win any competition but to be in the top four positions. The disorganization in the Chelsea team will take a long time to reorganize. And Pochettino will be able to do the job.

I think the players who just joined in January will be staying at the club except for some who might not find favour with the new boss and some players who were already tipped to be sold in the summer, despite the expectations of most of the new arrivals to play in the Champions league I believe they still understand that Chelsea is a big club and getting back to playing in the Champions league will only take a short while, probably next season Chelsea will be able to finish in top four.
