As we know, Liverpool is a team that has a very limited spending budget for players and it's been proven that they were only able to bring in Cody Gakpo in the transfer market last winter. Even Liverpool also withdrew from competition for Bellingham in the summer, although in the end Bellingham preferred Real Madrid in the end. I think the transfer fee of 80 million euros is too much for Liverpool and I don't think they will be able to afford it. It seems that if Liverpool fail to get Mac Allister, they will have to look for other talented players and for the current midfield position, Liverpool really need regeneration.

Alexis Mac Allister has shown that he is a great team player in the games he played this season. Even if world stars play next to it, it will still make you feel the difference. It could be a very logical transfer. Liverpool need a transfer like this after a bad season. Other big teams will follow Alexis Mac Allister. I wonder how much it will cost.

I wouldn't be surprised if Alexis Mac Allister would be in demand by many big clubs, including Liverpool. not only that, rumors of Mac Allister are also in the interest of Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea. some of the news I've read and one of them from Teamtalk reports, Chelsea are reportedly set to anger Liverpool with a cash-plus-players deal, which risks convincing De Zerbi. a cash plus player deal could see a player De Zerbi admires have been launched, and if successful, it could be Chelsea bringing Mac Allister to Stamford Bridge instead of Liverpool bringing Mac Allister to Anfield.

The argentinian outlet claims offers totaling at least £70m are needed before Brighton accept them. TyC Sport claims Liverpool are in the best position to sign the midfielder, there have even been reports of an oral agreement on personal terms already in place. however, according to a new report from the Daily Express, it could be Chelsea who emerge victorious for Mac Allister. to beat Liverpool, Express said the action plan that Chelsea can do. based on the rumours, centre-back Levi Colwill could hold the key to unlocking Mac Allister's transfer. well, we'll see which club Mac Allister goes to later. because as Fabrizio Romano said, it is very likely that Mac Allister will leave AMEX this summer.

There are many other players who are under contract with other teams but in the end, they can still get offers from other teams however, the club should make a decision for that player and for a team like Dortmund that's important to make money by using their young players I don't think if Dortmund rejects the offer.

This is likely to be held back a bit by Brighton because regardless, at the moment they only want to offload Mac Alister for 80 million euros.
Now it's just how Liverpool react to this because indeed on the other hand, for now Liverpool also still really need a midfielder considering that some of their current midfielders are old enough in terms of age so they need regeneration for Milner or Hendersen at this time and indeed if they can If you manage to get Mac Alister then of course it will be very profitable for Liverpool, it's just that negotiations on this price issue will seem a little longer.

Liverpool are still after the 24-year-old Brighton midfielder Alexis Mac Allister now. They hope to finish the deal for £70m according to the source below. This would be one of the most sensible deals for Liverpool that's for sure. Because they really need to strengthen the midfield more to build a solid bridge between their defense and offense lines.

Mac Allister has been able to impress people a lot with a high level of effort. His being a World Cup winner has also added extra value in him too. He is just the player Liverpool would make a great use of in the midfield. These days Liverpool seem to be the only team interested in him but let's see.

This is most likely correct because transfers of that magnitude are only decided by the club's bosses, Arteta's word won't have any weight at all. It would be the same if Terzic said to his bosses in Dortmund that Bellingham won't be sold because he has a contract for one more year. That won't ever happen.

As soon as transfers become substantially relevant, the coach is out of the loop. When it is about signing younger players, talents or to fill up a particular position for like 40 or 50 million, then the coach's opinion is probably taken into account.

Bukayo Saka is one of those players where Arteta's voice won't count because it doesn't make sense anyway. The coach needs the best squad on the pitch, what should he answer when the club were to ask him whether to sell or keep Saka?

Arteta is just the head coach in the team, when business issues are decided, he is unlikely to even be asked. If in a year PSG/Real/City, etc. offer 150 million for the player (which is quite realistic, isn't it with the current rise in prices?) and the player himself will want such a transfer, then he will be sold without problems. Even with Haaland, who has a fresh contract with City, not everything is clear - there are rumors that there are options in the contract that will allow him to leave, so City want a new contract. Therefore, no contract will guarantee that the player will really play it to the end and will not leave for another club.

To be honest if it will be a difficult thing to be done. Chelsea needs to agree with what already wanted by mason mount to make him stay even longer in the stamford bridge. As far as i know if chelsea has not yet agreed with the salary that being wanted by mount.
It seems to be a difficult job for chelsea caused by the team will not reach an agreement for the contract extension if the club didn't wanna try to increase his salary like what he wanted.

that's the only reason why mason mount is not willing to put his signature in the new contract with chelsea. I think that pochettino tried to reconsider him again as an important player.

I wonder what kind of transfers that have been preparing by pochettino in summer. Chelsea is one step closer to sign him as a new coach for next season.
Im feeling curious about what big movements that will be made him.

Bellingham might have snubbed Manchester City for Real Madrid but I don't think he actually said Man City is a "plastic club". It will be very unprofessional of him to say so and if he did, he is very wrong. Manchester City is the most successful club in England for the last 10 years and they have a bright future ahead. People keep seeing Man City as this small club that have no history, but they fail to forget that they're writing their history right in front of our eyes.
It is only rational that he picked Real Madrid over Manchester City. Who doesn't want to play for Madrid?

Mendy is a very good player and I also don't believe Real Madrid want to sell him. He's one of the best defenders they have so I don't see a reason for them to put him up for sale. Mendy and Alaba are the best defenders Real Madrid have at the moment. I don't believe these rumors.

Previously, we heard rumors that several media outlets had reported that Real Madrid would bring in Kylian Mbappe along with Jude Bellingham for the Los Galacticos project this summer. However, this news has been denied by Real Madrid (as reported by Marca) and they say that Vinicious is better than Mbappe. Maybe it's not surprising what Real Madrid has said considering that Vinicious has proven his performance and contribution over the past few seasons for Real Madrid, so they don't need Mbappe anymore, even Real Madrid don't want to spend a penny to get Mbappe. This may be like fate that Mbappe has to accept because Real Madrid really wanted to sign him, but the player prefers to stay at PSG with a lot of money.

Reportedly his contract is being prepared by Chelsea management and he will officially become Chelsea coach next season

what a good decision for chelsea owners to choose pochettino as the next chelsea coach, he once made tottenham almost win the champions league, with the current chelsea squad the strategy he made will definitely work effectively and well

Christopher Nkuku is not a Natural Striker he is a complete winger, you can go do your findings. For a player that scores twenty plus goals every season then scoring fifty more goals to equal Alan Shearer's record is possible. ( Harry Kane can do the job )


David Fofana and Armando Broja are both natural strikers for that role, how well have they been used, it's quite obvious they do not fit into the squad. Kai Havertz is not a striker, go take a second look, he plays behind the striker at Bayern Leverkusen and that has been his best role. Harry Kane should leave Tottenham Hotspur if he isn't dump, he can remain for two seasons and they'll win nothing.

@Daniel91 one advantage for Poch is that he can fully focus on winning the Premier League as Chelsea won’t be playing in the champions league, and I believe that he’ll swiftly move on to trim this bloated squad which will allow him to give them a new sense of direction which they have lacked so far this season. Also Messi knows he won’t get this big contract again and Barcelona can’t afford him even on basic wages hence he’ll definitely be tempted to go to Saudi but where he’ll end we will only come to know once this season ends not before it.

Sunday's transfer gossip:

Mauricio Pochettino, who has agreed to take over as Chelsea manager, wants Mason Mount to stay at Stamford Bridge, although the 24-year-old England midfielder only has one year left on his contract and has not been offered an extension. I think Pochettino will have a very difficult job at Chelsea, much more difficult than at any other club he has coached so far.
England midfielder Jude Bellingham reportedly rejected a move from Borussia Dortmund to Manchester City as he did not want to join a 'plastic club'. Very interesting opinion of this player about Manchester City. Do you agree with his opinion?  
Real Madrid are looking to sell French full-back Ferland Mendy, 27, with Arsenal on alert. Real is creating a very strong team for next season.
The president of Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal, Fahad Bin Saad Bin Nafel, has refused to comment on speculation surrounding a move for Paris St-Germain and Argentina forward Lionel Messi, 35. Does this mean that the football transfer of the century is being negotiated?

Let's see what decision will be taken by osimhen. I have not seen any clue regarding his transfer in summer. I meant napoli was still interesting to give him a new contract. The chance for EPL club to get him will be disappearing once he will agreed to extend his contract with napoli. It's very hard decision for osimhen for sure. I can imagine how he will be so difficult to pick between stay or leave from the club. Napoli can be considered as a club that was making his name become very big.
It will be so difficult to make him leave from napoli even though osimhen confirmed that if EPL is his favorite league right now. I think that the chance for him to go to the EPL is very small at this moment. It's likely liverpool won't able to play in EPL upcoming season.
Osimhen was good at napoli but he may also play so badly in the next club, there have been many players who were facing such situations.

I'm yet to read about any news that involves Chelsea wanting to get the services of Harry Kane in any European sports news platform. But if the rumor happens to be true, then it must have been influenced with the agreement of making Mauricio Pochettino the next manager of Chelsea.
That being said, Harry Kane is a great player who's always hungry for goal and his style of football would definitely match with that of Chelsea. He'll succeed at Chelsea and because he wants to win trophies before he retires from football, he might be tempted to leave his current north London club to join Chelsea.

I recently have read that Bayern Munich is no longer interested in signing Osimhen because the manager of Napoli said that he will definitely still play for Napoli in the next season. I doubt that this is really the truth and instead the manager already wants to push the price of Osimhen even higher and i think that 100 M€ would not be enough to sign him. I also think we are in the range of 120 to 150 Million €.
As far as i know, FC Chelsea has a lot of debts too, like hundreds of millions but they just don't care about that like most other clubs do too and they just keep on spending a lot of money on players. Financial fairplay never really worked and since a few years it seems to be completely dead it seems, which is a shame. It will only be a matter of time until the first big club goes into bankruptcy.

I haven't heard about Chelsea to have interest in Kane either. They really are after Osimhen and seem ready to spend a lot of money on his transfer. One of Chelsea's biggest weaknesses has been with their offense side. They have had problems on scoring multiple goals or even one goal in many league games so far. This has to come to an end for sure.

Osimhen is one of the most attracting strikers in the transfer market now. Boehly has seemed ready to spend whatever amount of money is needed to make this team great again. I don't expect him to hesitate about Osimhen either.

Considering his present age Saka is a great asset for Arsenal and I am sure the club will put everything in place to keep the players motivated to stay in the club against next season.

Over time, Arsenal have spent quite a good some of the money on players acquisition, /and they have an available replacement for most of their positions so there will always have a possible replacement for Saka already,  but due to the player's wealth players wealth of experience and recent performance, he is a big asset right now.
