Modric and Kroos have been part of the outstanding midfield trio for Real Madrid in the last couple of years but now they are aged and no longer efficient as before. On the bright side, I’m glad Real Madrid sees this as an opportunity to bring in young players to replace them when they leave. Jude Bellingham happens to be one of the young good prospects Madrid are looking to recruit for the next season. Although Jude Bellingham seems to be a priority for Liverpool in the summer, Madrid will need to do some lobbying for him to accept a switch to Real Madrid.

Sunday's transfer gossip:

Barcelona still want to sign Portugal midfielder Bernardo Silva and Manchester City would be prepared to let the 28-year-old, whose contract expires in June 2025, leave for 65m euros (£57.5m). Is Bernardo Silva the right solution for Barcelona and is this price realistic? Can Barcelona, given their financial difficulties, afford Bernardo Silva?
Man City will look to bring in Croatia defender Josko Gvardiol, 21, from RB Leipzig if they sell 28-year-old Spain defender Aymeric Laporte, who is attracting interest from Paris St-Germain. Allegedly, Josko Gvardiol will become the most expensive defender in the history of football, with a price of more than 100 million euros. Can any other club pay such a price for a defender?
Tottenham want at least £100m if they are to sell 29-year-old England striker Harry Kane, who has 15 months left on his Spurs contract, this summer. This saga around Kana has really been going on for a long time, several years. Will he eventually leave or not? Kane clearly wants to go to a club where he will start winning trophies, but the question is who can pay that price for him.
Netherlands midfielder Frenkie de Jong is wanted by Manchester United but the 25-year-old is not looking to leave Barcelona. Barcelona already wanted to get rid of Jong, but he really showed great determination and will to stay. Will he finally earn the trust of the club and stay?

Asides Laporte's deal, Manchester city is very serious about bringing in Gvardiol and that may be done by next summer. For the sake of numerous competitions the club will be facing, I will not say that Emmaneul Akanji is not enough to give what ever is required from the Central defense. It will be a bit difficult if for fatigue reasons Akanji doesn't feature in Manchester city matches next season. I think Josko Gvadiol will be of great assistance.

They do not have defenders that are good when it comes to ariel duels
Leave John stones and Diaz of Portugal, Akanji is just good with his feets and knows how to attack
Having a player who can offer both is a plus for Pep and his club. Croatia Gvardiol can bring that in

There is a chance for Manchester City to intervene and try to sign Gvardiol. But it looks like it depends on whether they sell Laporte in the summer.

Because according to reports, PSG are interested in a possible signing for Laporte these days. I wonder why they also aren't interested in Gvardiol. In the end they are also a very rich and big team just as Manchester City. Let's say they also did it but I would still expect him to choose Manchester City instead. Because the Premier League is much more competitive and honestly Manchester City have a more qualified squad than PSG on paper.

It pains me to see the fantastic trio era ending, I remember the good times with Firmino, Salah and Mane for Liverpool, an attacking trio that was formidable and achieved so much for the club. If Firmino leaves at the end of the season, Salah will be the only player from the fantastic trio remaining at the club. I think with Ibrahimovic and Giroud said to be listening to offers outside, Firmino could be the perfect replacement in that position.

Even with the poor result the club is having, I don't see any player that is to bear the faults. Chelsea made good use of the old players excellently under Thomas Tuchel's management and Abramovhic's ownership until the arrival of Toed Boehlly and Graham Potter who seems to have little or no knowledge of club ownership and players management respectively. Chelsea as it stands now only have numerous substitute for central midfield not much for other positions.

Arsenal this season  has really performed good signing to afford they wish for the club but it is unfortunate after all their good signing no difference in their performance.  With all this signing it has proven that the problem of the club is nor just player. But poor management.

Actually going to Al-Nassr is a pretty good option, on the other hand he must have an amazing salary per week. But maybe the question is whether the decision is good enough considering he is still very sharp for a top class European striker. But if Firmino wants a lot of money, of course it's the right decision to go to Al-Nassr, but if he still wants to compete in Europe's top leagues, of course he will last longer here for the next 3 years.

Robert Firmino is a top striker with lengthy experience in European football, seems his time is over with the reds as his agent is surfing for bids for his client. A shocking move to Barcelona is considered high frame impossibility because the bluagrana already have the key striker in the club, Robert lewandoskwi. Although Firmino might served as a backup striker for the Poland international, the main thing is for Firmino to obtain favor from Xavi Hernandez, because if a coach doesn't like you, you would end up been a bench player.

Dortmund player Julian Brandt has been on the radar of Tottenham and Arsenal and this summer Brandt contract will be expired and there is possibilities he will leave Dortmund with free agent status and actually Dortmund has attempts giving him contract extension but most likely Brandt will be refuse the offers from Dortmund because after these rumours he was giving a statement and Brandt said he was ready looking for new challenge by playing at premier league

During this season Julian Brandt has been played as a winger and his goal records also looks quite impressive even he has several times scoring important goals for Dortmund so no wonder if some of big clubs were interested to him

No average striker in his right senses will go to Barcelona at this time. The only strikers that will go to Barcelona and succeed in short-term or long-term purposes is strikers like Hallaand, Victor Osimhen and Mbappe. If Firmino goes to Barcelona he will play most of the matches from the bench because his fate would be like that of Memphis depay who later left the club.
Lewandowski is already there as a star striker and it cannot be easy to displace him because he has already proven himself to be a world class striker.

Barcelona already have Lewandowksi, so if Firmino accept to join Barcelona, he will always become a substitute player or he will play if Lewandowski is injured. But there's no point if he join to Al Nassr since he's a striker, his position and Cristiano Ronaldo is same, except he's agree to play at central attacking midfielder or as a winger. After all he will support Cristiano Ronaldo to score a goal.

I have been hearing different rumors about Firmino and Liverpool. The first information I got was that Firmino doesn't want to renew his contract despite being offered by liverpool. Another information I go was that Firmino asked his agent not to make negotiation with any club that he wants to give more to liverpool. I don't know the correct information to believe about Firmino and liverpool.

He's not having enough play time yeah, every single club in the world are currently rebuilding with young lads. The arrival of Nunez gave me this would happen. He's lack of game time was what resulted to him being absent or wasn't called during the Fifa World Cup.
He's also not been scoring goals when called up to play, the clocks ticking and it's good decision you see he's already taken to finally leave at the end of the season. Juventus I know have been linked with the possiblity of getting him signed. It all for him to take his decisions right. It's nothing but Good luck to him in the new phase.

At the start of the season, Firmino helped to the team with both goals and assists. He was the top scorer for the team until he got injured. However all good things must come to an end at one point in time. As Klopp was able to find a suitable replacement for him, he had no other option but to move on. Sad to hear that Firmino will be leaving. But, probably the right time to make the decision of leaving Liverpool as a free agent at the end of the current season. We wish him the best of luck.

Klopp didn't even need him anymore. That was the main reason why firmino has chosen to leave from the club rather than stay even longer in liverpool. As far as i know that if klopp was also trying to held a new talk with him about extending his contract but since firmino knows that if his place already gone in the club caused by it has been taken by the new player and then firmino has no choice other than leaving from the club or always sitting on the bench. that's very sad for firmino to leave from his favorite club.


Firmino has been making more than one hundred goals with liverpool since he was starting his career in liverpool. I hope that if firmino will be getting a good club that can give him a regular time to play. Firmino is still wanna playing in the professional football club.

I had this thought because Liverpool does not give Farmimo enough playing time, despite the fact that he always gives an outstanding performance whenever he is on the peach.
Whenever you see Farmimo play, you see greatness because he is a world-class striker who has so many records in football history; therefore, him working out as a free agent is a great idea that will actually help his football career.

yeah but who knows since al nassr will be also so easy to offer him big amounts of money.

Since this news confirmed that if it's not possible anymore for him to stay in EPL.

Since he will be leaving from the club with free transfer for the club and there will be lots of offer from another club. The club like barcelona will be also hunting him but it's not yet clear for now. the thing that is clear if al nassr has ever given him an offer.

Robert Firmino is an outstanding striker in Liverpool and have lifted remarkable trophies with the reds and also a key project under Jurgen Klopp. The brazilian will walk away as a free agent at the end of the summer, probably start a fresh new start outside the english premier league, moving to an entirely different league would be a decision for Firmino to take, he needs time to think of what he wants, so we should stop with the assumption that he's linked with Al-Nassr because brazilians don't easily give green light Saudi Arabia bids.
