For the upcoming transfer market, Barcelona must target a young striker as one of the options included in Xavi's long-term project, even though Lewandowski's performance is good this season and he still has two years left on his contract with Barcelona. Xavi must have the option to rotate players if at any time Lewandowski gets injured.

Dybala may be one of the considerations for Xavi, but so far there has been no news about the approach being taken, so the potential for switching to another striker is still quite open. The next problem is as you stated, financial conditions can prevent Barcelona from buying quality players in the future transfer market.

Barcelona's success in first place in La Liga cannot be separated from Robert Lewandowski's performance this season, so far he has become La Liga's top scorer with 15 goals and still has the potential to increase the number of goals with 12 games remaining. Up coming three years later seems not problem for Barcelona if have consistent performance from Robert Lewandowski and have potential for winning La Liga tittle in this season after 12 points gap awhile from Real Madrid.

Actually Barcelona this season has been performing quite well not only on the front lines but the back line position is very solid, only conceding 9 goals in 26 matches so far proves the toughness of Barcelona's back line and has been able to score the most clean sheets this season compared to other European teams.

I agree, that Robert Lewandowski is a very important player for FC Barcelona, which is no surprise because he is probably the best number 9 of the planet. I don't see though why FC Barcelona would have to act after this season and get another high class striker, because the contract of Lewandowski is still running until the summer of 2026, so 3 more years after this season. Of course Lewandowski is already 34 years old and it is not sure if he can keep his level until 2026 but given the fact that he is an extremely professional sportsman just like Cristiano Ronaldo i think it is very much possible that he is also in great shape when he is already 37 years old.

I think the issue of Barcelona being interested in Dybala has been around for a long time. It's not a new issue anymore. If Dybala goes to Barcelona it will be like seeing Messi play for Barcelona, because it is typical for Dybala to play exactly the same as Messi, his position is the same, so in the national team Dybala cannot play as long as Messi is still there.

Yes, it's true, I think Xavi needs an important role next season to fight for the UCL title, if he only relies on the existing squad and now it won't be enough to be able to fight for the title next season. Xavi needs players who are not just players but what is special is that he can bring the game to life when all the players are down and that is in Dybala because his playing style is almost like Messi's. And that can be combined with Lewandowski next season, to make it even more effective.

I am quite certain that his market value is going to increase soon. Probably that's why Manchester City wants to bring him into the team early on. If managed correctly, he is going to be an asset to the team. He is also showing really good performance and good potential at his early age. At only 19 years old, it is great to be noticed by a club like Manchester City. And I agree with the fact that it is not going to be easy to convince Leverkusen because they are not going to try to sell a player who is showing such good potential for a small amount of money

Referring to the Goal report, Chelsea are now determined to end Auba's contract, and allow him a year early. in fact, some Spanish media even said that Chelsea would terminate Aubameyang's contract before the end of this season, considering that he was not registered in the Champions League squad.
I don't know if this is an advantage for Aubameyang or a problem for his career. however, if Barcelona are willing to take him home, that means, Barcelona are signing him for free.

Other rumors, Barcelona are interested in repatriating Aubameyang because they need additional power in their attack line. last winter, Memphis Depay decided to leave Camp Nou. while several other strikers such as Ansu Fati and Raphinha are rumored to be leaving next summer. so, this situation makes the Blaugrana potentially short of attacking positions next summer, so Barcelona are interested in repatriating Aubameyang. However, I am not sure about the validity of this rumour.

Barcelona are currently very dependent on Lewandowski. They don't have any other players commensurate with him. Local reports I've heard Barcelona are interested in Dybala. Dybala's contract with Roma runs until 2025. With Roma Dybala has quite good performances. Dybala has a release clause after one year of the contract. He will be worth 20 million euros when he goes outside Italy, 12 million euros when he leaves still in one league. But I don't know if Barcelona still have a transfer chance, they have spent a lot of money this year.

I am actually interested to see if Harry Kane actually makes an effort to play for the Real Madrid squad, especially after the sacking of his coach. We all know that Tottenham is not in the best situation right now. So it is not going to be surprised if Harry Kane tries to push a move with Real Madrid.

It is absolutely true that Mbappe did choose money over his dream club when it counted. So there is no certainty that he's not going to do that again. And I wonder if Real Madrid wants to bring a player like that who is not true to his word and breaks commitment.

It was all a game, conte wanted that sack and he did it at a perfect time. He knew the international break will give him sometime to relax and consider the next club that he'll be heading to. He knew he'll never win anything with Tottenham because they aren't desperate to win any trophy. He said it in the press conference that the problem isn't just the players but the club itself and he wasn't lying. How many managers have they hired so far yet no success. They even had the audacity to fire Jose Mourinho after he took them to a final that they would had probably won because Jose Mourinho is a winner same as Conte but you must give him what he wants for him to deliver.


Although this was yesterday news and I haven't heard anything that resulted form the meeting but I guess it'll be positive since Victor Osimhen won't turn down a deal from Chelsea especially if we can somehow find our way back into the champions league discussion next season by finishing fourth or defend our title next season when we win it this year. Chelsea are quite capable of anything because of the squad they have, I thought we would've sacked Potter by now and things will be moving right but he's still incharge but still things are beginning to look positive so let see what we can achieve this season and just hope Victor Osimhen chooses Chelsea over others.

Conte has always had controversial statements especially with the players and his team always arguing if this matter is not better then there will be no solid relationship between the player and the coach so I also read the news Spurs are still considering sacking Conte even though we know he is the coach great but unfortunately his attitude can't be maintained to be better for the sake of the club.

the demands he has with having to get results early in the season for the club he manages to be one of the problems that often occur in this regard.
The conditions remain the same even though of course for the EPL it is clear that it cannot be done that easily even with the conditions where he has made a lot of reforms but of course the conditions will not be as easy as he imagined. Now he is rumored to be leaving again and Tottenham have made several plans to anticipate this. In the end he couldn't stay at a club for a long time.

Yeah he is a demanding one but he wants quick results. There is a process and time has to be given for that. Yeah his recent comments indicated tensions but also between him and players so I think it will be difficult to work around with Conte. It will be good for the club to part ways with Conte. At the moment I think he is likely gonna leave at the end of the season but given the performances possible that could be earlier than that.

I was actually quite surprised that Conte came up like that.

It's good when you have an attitude that plays with the mind of the opponent. But when the attitude becomes self-destructive towards your own team, it is a problem. And it is a problem that has to be uprooted. I will say regardless of Tottenham's performance, they did the right thing.

I know this is going to be an unpopular opinion but I actually want to see what Harry Redknapp can actually do. He is old and his tactics will also be old. But sometimes old things can actually work out great. But is that an experiment Tottenham is going to do?

I didn't read what Conte said about club officials. But professional people should display professional behavior. Conte should have acted more professionally. Everyone agrees that he failed at Tottenham. However, this is not a very important issue. Because he can get more successful results with other teams in the future. He always has the potential to do good deeds. But I think this behavior will come back as big negative marks on his career.

The press is talking about Tottenham with Harry Redknapp. This 76-year-old man is an experienced coach. But he is far from modern football. Tottenham may be about to come to terms with another wrong choice as they get rid of the wrong choice Conte.

Conte causes trouble everywhere he goes. He is a top manager but he has no longevity at any club. I don’t know what he really expected at Spurs, he was never going to get to spend like Man City. He said some quite disrespectful things about the club so it’s a good thing Levy may decide to sack him. Great manager but impossible to employ.

Conte outburst shows there are so many things going on withing the club that outsiders can't see.and I think this will be down to mentality of the players, he has been a serial winner where ever he goes,from Italy with juventus and intermilan and then Chelsea,he wants to win trophies,but that is becoming difficult,first because of the level of competition in England right now, second the mentality of the players,are they willing to give it all to challenge for trophies? Their position currently is not bad, but conte wants to win the league..A trophy whats so ever will boost the players moral,iven if it were to be Caraboa cup..I don't see a better coach out there who can  drastically change that.

I agree about Conte, he uses a good tactic in every game and the team got a plan for every minute of the game while having a good coach won't help the team they also need to have better players and give Conte some more time to work with them and get better results, otherwise using another coach with same players will not help Tottenham and this can even have worst results for them.

Conte was not doing something wrong. His critics may be a bit harsh but if we are aware about the fact that if conte is also saying about what he feels about totenham. I do know what he feels as a coach. Totenham players didn't have strong mentality to be a winner. As you can see that if this is the only club that never won EPL. Leicester city was even performing so well compared with totenham. I would not be surprised if conte got sacked. It's very hard to accept the reality.

Totenham's management must also try to see themselves. Conte did what he can to give big motivation. That's why totenham will always become a garbage team in EPL that will never win a trophy.

I give applause to the conte for saying the truth about totenham. Those players who critized back conte were only showing if they were real example.

It’s a hard pill to swallow. Mesut Özil have come so far and has been one of the standout performance in the game starting from his time at Real Madrid, playing for the German national team and then Arsenal. It is so difficult coming to accept the fact that even legends come and retire, I sure will miss Özil playing professional football.

Previously this young player was often linked by several top European teams and the last I heard Barcelona was also interested in securing his services. But if there are strong competitors like Manchester City, of course Florian Wirtz will prefer Manchester City over Barcelona because Manchester City is financially more secure. I wouldn't be surprised if the price was quite expensive, considering he is a talented young player and of course the team that managed to bring him in would be very happy.
