The chance for neymar to join with chelsea becomes even bigger now since todd faces neymar's agent directly. It's now not just a rumor but let's see what deals that will be meet by both of parties. Im sure that neymar was planning to get a new club.

The French press was betting that the Brazilian Neymar would go to a "second tier" team, but I believe that most here are surprised to learn that Chelsea are willing to pay very well to have this player in their squad. Not bad for the most expensive player in football history to date. But is Neymar still worth so much?

I consider his age is too old. There may be a several years remaining for him to continue his career in the professional football. It must be less than €50m. The problem is his salary is high when neymar was playing on PSG. I don't even think todd will be trying to give the same salary for him(neymar)

Quote from: alegotardo on February 17, 2023, 08:44:07 PM

Speaking of numbers... Chelsea will pay (at least they are willing to do so, nothing is certain yet) 60 million euros for Neymar who is now 31 years old ("old" player). It's still 4 times less than the €222m PSG paid in 2017, but it looks like the Parisian club is quite happy with that amount.
Arsenal were paying "only" €50m, so they ended up having their offer waived.

It's better rather than neymar going out from the club with free transfer even though his contract will expire 2025. A bit surprised to hear that manchester city is willing to offer neymar too.

Either team sounds very good for Ney, however I think he would be a better fit for Chelsea because Chelsea lacks an explosive striker who can bring the team a better outlook, they are very good at defending in midfield but the forward does not bear fruit, they are very thirsty for goals and what Chelsea needs is to score goals, they don't need anything else, if they score goals they win games and the way Ney plays is enough to make him the star of the team because he would have the leading role absolute would take everything, free kicks, penalties, all without any kind of competition with another player on the team.

All of transfer that already made by chelsea were failed. None of new players from chelsea gave good contribution to the clubs. Mudryk and enzo were over rated players for sure with non sense price. How stupid todd agreed to buy these players with very high price like that.

10 loses and 1 win. This is terrible result that already achieved by chelsea with new players. So many fans from another club were mocking these players as they didn't look like players with high valuation.

There are so many miscommunications, inaccurate pass and many things that were so bad coming from the new players of chelsea. Why don't even chelsea use money wisely? Todd looks stupid enough as a new owner.

Messi moving to Premier League is not sure happening
Messi would consider retuning to Argentina division than the premier league
Yes it is true that he has a good relationship with Pep Guardiola, Messi should consider leaving PSG

I don't see any strong reason for Messi to play in the Premier League, at his current age Messi is still able to show pretty good performance at PSG because PSG rivals in the league are quite weak, it's different if Messi plays in the Premier League which is having competition is quite competitive so it feels like Messi will fail if he tries a new adventure in the Premiere League at his current age, I personally think if maybe Messi will end his career in France or maybe in the Arab or American leagues.

I definitely agree, and I guess that his transfer to PSG was due to similar considerations. Therefore, his next transfer will probably have good planning. In fact, we know that almost all South American football players spend their last years in their home country teams, but Messi may return to his country after playing from the Arabian Peninsula for a few years because he has the physical strength to do this.

Agree. No reason for Messi to move to EPL, it will be a disaster for Messi's career. EPL is a very competitive league, it is a difficult place for old players. Messi should follow Ronaldo's decision to move to a lower league, he can move to MLS or Argentine Primera División. Messi also can consider playing in Saudi Pro League like Ronaldo. Messi must be wise to decide on his next club if he still wants to play. Wink

The problem may be in terms of age. Even though his current performance is still able to be there, it's still a little uncomfortable when what happened to Ronaldo at Manchester United happened again to this goat.
I think as he gets older with competitive league conditions, it doesn't rule out the possibility of something like this happening to him too if he steps foot in the EPL.

It feels like Chelsea are rushing things for no reason about making Felix's deal permanent now.

At least the speculations say that they are planning to sign him on a permanent deal soon. But instead I think they should wait and see how he will perform in the rest of the season first. Then they can make a decision about this transfer. I know that they are eager to solve their striker issue completely as soon as possible. But this season is already wasted for them. So they had better move on more carefully about deciding upon their attacking line. They will have the whole summer ahead as well. Maybe there will be a better opportunity than even Felix.

Not too surprising, as it's been their trademark this season of always rushing things but Todd doesn't seem to want to admit that.
I think if they still want some players in the same position later then making Felix permanent is too hasty because it will only add to their expenses without any real results this season.

Todd Boehly is an American and Americans love star players, it think the only reason Todd Boehly wants Neymar is because of the influence he'll be bringing to the club in regards to ticket and jersey sales. Tood Boehly has always wanted a star player on the club right from his very moment or takeover. We saw him trying to sign Ronaldo but Thomas Tuchel spoiled that deal. Chelsea signing Neymar doesn't mean Mudryk won't have playing time instead both stars will compliment each other on the wing and when one isn't playing well the other can step in.

I'm not against signing Neymar but in support of the new management. Firstly because if Neymar was to come to Chelsea, I don't think Graham Potter could manage him. We all know Neymar is a star player and not all managers especially the young and inexperienced ones can manage teams with stars on them. The image of Neymar at Chelsea will be beneficiary both on and off the field so I don't see this as a bad deal provided we won't be breaking any financially fair play rules.

If that was the case (which I disagree with) then why would he spend 500+ million and get nearly no superstars, I mean sure they are good players but none of the players have that kind of name. If he bought no other player, and just Mbappe, he could have paid 200+ million to PSG easily, and 200+ million to Mbappe with future payments as well, and it would have been maybe even cheaper, or at least cost the same.

Chelsea at the start of the season with just Mbappe addition could have been at least this good, if not even better. I understand that people are unhappy with the current situation and they are looking to add even more, but that doesn't mean that they should, it just doesn't make sense.

I wonder how Neymar can be persuaded to drop his contract with PSG (which is valid until 2027) and switch to a lower salary in a more difficult league? I think it's unrealistic. We have already seen that PSG were unhappy with Neymar, but this did not bother him much and he allowed his contract to be extended automatically from 2025 to 2027. I think Neymar is arrogant enough to even sit on the bench and still get his huge salary.

It doesn't take much, if the dressing room is very toxic, he can leave.

Also, such star players despite being "arrogant" do have very big egos to quench. Being benched for many matches would definitely not go well with Neymar. I think you remember when there was some chaos over who should be the main penalty taker in PSG. This was all happening with the big salaries in their contracts Grin

The hope of returning to Barcelona should have been buried because regardless of anything, even though he had lots of good memories there, it was over and he had to realize that his current condition was different, especially with his salary and age.
If indeed he goes to Barcelona this will only become a new problem again and again. On the other hand, when we look at the EPL, it's also a little hard actually, I'm worried that conditions like what Ronaldo experienced will repeat itself and this is a little difficult for me to see for a Goat.

Me too, i expect messi won't go back to the barcelona. I consider how big salary of messi. I doubt if anyother teams are also willing to sign him. Messi has a very big salary and that makes the club think for twice before try to sign him. His team mate neymar already linked with EPL club which can be considered as rich club. Messi has not yet found a club that meets his criteria. I mean the new club must be in a good financial condition.

The possibility for other clubs is clearly still there, it's just that it's like you said, there needs to be a club that has good finances and of course enters into the qualifications of Messi himself because this is indeed important.
Here also does not rule out the possibility that there will be other Arab clubs who will start looking at the same as Ronaldo, of course, with offers and salaries that really don't make sense later. Even though many people say Messi does not only see money, but all possibilities can still happen.

I don't understand why Liverpool don't want to extend with Firmino while he has less than six months left on his contract.

His performance has been really impressive in this season so far. I can comfortably say that it is even better compared to last season. Of course he experienced an unfortunate injury period for some time and maybe this is one of the main reasons why they don't want to keep him. But still it doesn't make sense. Klopp should put him in the starting eleven to see how he will perform first. I think that he can still be more productive than Nunez. Nunez is not a good scorer at least here. I know they spent a lot of money on his transfer but this shouldn't mean that they can still give up on a player like Firmino easily.

Liverpool are back to winning ways after thrashing Newcastle united 2 nil with wonderful performance from them. They needs consistency in their league games. Robert Firmino is an outstanding attacker in Jurgen klopp's squad, but with his recent performance, he's unfit to start games for the reds. After all, the red's have singed new players that will served as good replacement for the brazilian in the nearest future. Darwin Nunez is trying his best to fit in position interms of goal scoring which served a threat to the Uruguayan.

The latest news regarding the summer transfer rumors that Atletico Madrid are interested in signing Roberto Firminho from Liverpool on a free agent status. I think this is a pretty good opportunity for Firminho considering he has rarely been in Liverpool's starting line-up since the arrival of Gakpo and Nunez and has mostly been on the bench this season.

Last season could actually be the last season for Firmino but indeed Liverpool pushed a little because their time was a bit of a crisis because several of their players in the attack line had left and some were injured which kept Firmino maintained but with the current conditions it is very difficult to return to hold Firmino moreover he also does not want to continue to be on the bench.
The chance is great for Atletico even though there are already several strikers but this could be a new challenge for Firmino.

The condition is a little difficult because apart from Chelsea there are actually many better clubs than those who want Jude, but this can still happen if Chelsea has a good offer in terms of price and salary.
Dortmund still won't be able to keep their players and will be in the same condition as Haaland sooner or later so indeed they are currently looking for suitable offers as it is the only way for them to benefit from Jude Bellingham's departure.

Do you think it's about salary when the team is in such a place in the standings? Imho, in the next season Chelsea easily break into the top of the table, to keep among the leaders and so on, but when choosing a club most often the player pays attention to the current situation, and Chelsea's situation is not rosy

It's just an opinion and it's not something that is certain because indeed in this case there is no real guarantee about their performance in the next season even with now they spend a lot of money to bring in many players which can be said to be expensive but still nothing to be proud of so far not.
Next season also does not rule out this possibility if they continue to change players again and again which keeps their chemistry disrupted. Being top of the standings next season would be great but if that doesn't happen then what? Looking for more expensive players in terms of price and salary? I think it's not a good solution.

Naturally, this is not the best solution. You can build a dream team, pay players the highest salaries in soccer, but they will not play better. What I meant was that it's too late to change anything in order to get to the top position. Now there is time until next season to find that very chemistry and start next season with a clean slate, to show their power

Declan Rice has been an another player at the centre of transfer targets for big teams for a long time.

Manchester United wanted them back in the day and got very close to finishing the deal. But it failed due to West Ham's greediness which made Rice very frustrated. Later on Chelsea started to have a significant deal of interest in him but still haven't made an official offer. And now I see Manchester City starting to be thinking about a deal to sign him. If they really enter the race to sign him then Chelsea might be in trouble. Yeah maybe Chelsea are also very rich now thanks to Boehly. But Manchester City seem a much more reliable team obviously so I think Rice could prioritize them in that case.

This player is still being hunted by several big clubs but until now there has been no decision about his future at this time because West Ham is still reluctant to discuss this with any club and indeed something like this is bound to happen.
Rice's condition which is what many great clubs want is clearly an opportunity for West ham to make a real profit so they will still continue to wait until the price is really worth it for Rice but sooner or later it looks like this player will leave.

Honestly i would like to see Firmino playing a litle longer with Liverpool and hoping Liverpool immediately to extended his contract and last time i heard Liverpool will giving their priority to discuss about this but i don't know why after long process negotiations appear to have reached an impasse but indeed after the arrival of Gakpo and Nunez his chances to being an regular player is quite small and lets be realistic that if he want to play for every matches i think Liverpool isn't right place anymore for him

I think I saw a strong source on twitter indicating that Liverpool are gonna held talks about Firmino's contract extension very soon.And also Klopp has said in the past that he would love to see Firmino continue. Feeling is clear and it's upto Firmino where he wants to see in next. I don't think Liverpool will allow an experienced player like Firmino leave especially when he is the most experienced in the position he plays.

Some key reasons are just why he will still play
Bobby should leave Liverpool as fast as he can I believe he is just there for the money and not to play
If Salah leaves then he can have enough time to play

According to some news there are three big English Premier League teams monitoring Mason Mount's situation at Chelsea now. These are Manchester City, Liverpool and Manchester United.
I don't know why these teams are after Mount anyway. Because he doesn't have any impressive performance in this season. Chelsea as a team don't play very convincing though. Maybe these clubs are still believing in Mount to play much better for themselves. He is still a youngster and open to developing his game much more in fact. Mount still seems willing to stay at his current team by the way. He just wants a fair contract extension that's all. Chelsea had better give what he wants if they really don't want to lose him.

That's nothing but a complete speculation moving round. Manchester City are only interested in the signature of James Madison of Leicester City currently. As for Liverpool, Jude Bellingham has been linked with a move to Liverpool, Engineered by his father. And Manchester United, Erik Ten Hag feels like Jadon Sancho can fill that role up just if Bruno Fernandez is absent.
I cannot just imagine Chelsea letting go of Mason Mount, don't be deceived, all these news and speculations are rising all because Chelsea has refused to increase the expected contract he's be demanding. Same strategy was done by Marcus Rashford's brother to trigger Manchester United Into extension of his brothers contract and salary.

I believe there is going to be a big change in the Chelsea squad. So even though I do believe that Chelsea is not going to let Mason Mount go, I think I am going to be almost ready for anything. To be honest, it is not going to be a surprise for me if Mason Mount does end up leaving Chelsea. But right now it does feel like these are only speculations and nothing more. And I would like to wait for the actual official news. Because right now the media is absolutely doing anything to get the attention of the people.

David Beckham's Inter Miami are in pole position to sign Argentina forward Lionel Messi, 35, should he decide to leave Paris St-Germain. Messi in the league of American football? Somehow it seems to me that it would be too early for him, because unlike Ronaldo, he is still playing at the highest level of football and can still achieve a lot in Europe. It is still early for his football retirement.

Lionel Messi can still play at the top of the competition without any hesitation. So it is probably not going to be the best idea for him to move to a league that is not that competitive. I believe after all it comes down to him thinking that he has done everything that there is to be done in football. So he is trying to chill right now. Might also be him losing the competitive mindset.

Honestly tell me what more can he achieve in his career? I do not think there is any motivation for him as well. The only thing that he was missing from his career was the world cup. And, now he has that as well.
