Gonçalo Ramos looks like a target for Manchester United now. To be more precise, he is among the candidates in their transfer list. He is surely a promising striker right now. Despite his very young age (21) he has been doing an incredible job with Benfica during this season. 25 goals, 11 assists in 44 matches is such a great statistics for him. We don't see so many players being this much capable as a striker at these ages.

His market value is also only 40 million euros now. However as far as I know he has a release clause also which is worth 120 million euros. It is quite a huge sum surely. I don't think Benfica would let him go below his release clause fee. Therefore I'm curious about what action Manchester United are thinking of taking.

Kane is such an experienced top striker that I assume he would still be their priority. But if Tottenham's demand for a transfer fee becomes too high then maybe Manchester United can lean towards a deal for Ramos.

I also don't think Manchester United would agree to take him to Old Trafford if the transfer fee from Benfica was that high
The value of the € 120 million clause is practically half of Manchester United's total spending in 2022-23 to bring several new players to Old Trafford
Manchester United's failure in several competitions made the club to rearrange its starting eleven
Manchester United have been linked with a host of big-name strikers for the upcoming window. With Harry Kane and Goncalo Ramos as the target strikers. Ten Hag isn’t really talking much about Harry Kane so I believe that  he’s placed Ramos at the top of his wishlist, hence Manchester United are willing to spend a large chunk of their budget to get him. Remember, they got Antony for £100m, so I don’t see why they won’t be able to spend more on getting a striker.

Chelsea are trying to convince Atletico Madrid to swap Chelsea players with Felix, it is reported that with two players Aubameyang and Cucurella is this possible because it is felt that Chelsea will not be strong enough to make Felix permanent by buying.

Not so impressive for Felix for half a season maybe he hasn't found his identity with Chelsea but if he had stayed longer maybe he would have been much better as his performance.

Because Chelsea's current badness all affects its players so they can't do their best for Chelsea.

I'm certain Atletico Madrid will be tempted by this offer, I'm not happy Joao Felix isn't a Manchester United player all because I love his style of play. He suits the club very well and adapted faster and quicker than expected.
As for Cucurella, he can leave for good, Ben Chiwell will settle in that left wing back position better.

The squad lacks a good coach, but even the games he's come on, he hasn't disappointed me even if he doesn't gets the credits he deserves. Chelsea needs a good coach to bring out the potentials of these young lads.

With that much contribution with Benfica, of course Manchester United wants to bring him to Old Trafford and it is not impossible for now he is a strong candidate for the Manchester United striker next season. Looking at the price, it's actually still affordable for the Red Devils, but if you talk about the value of the clause, it's definitely too expensive, maybe Manchester United will make the best offer, including giving one of their players to play in order to get Goncalo Ramos at a reasonable price. Indeed, rather than choosing Harry Kane who has an older age, of course Goncalo Ramos has the advantage of being so young and with a little guidance from erik ten hag he will be an excellent striker for the red devils.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Rafael Leao has signed a contract extension with Milan for 4 more years there. 5 million euros for his salary isn't a huge amount for a player like Leao to tell the truth. He deserves much more than this considering the effort he has made so far. But Milan aren't very rich now as far as I know. It must have been easy for them to convince him into it anyway as there wasn't any team intervening. His release clause is pretty huge - 175 million euros.

I don't know how many teams would be willing to pay that much for his transfer fee. Osimhen has been more popular for a long time but even his price tag isn't that high as far as I know. It looks like Leao isn't much eager to leave the team now as he accepted these conditions.
In some Italian local media Rafael Leao also said he wanted to survive at the San Siro for at least the next few seasons. The release clause of Rafael Leao is also too high compared to several other players who have quality above, even the player's agent has offered Rafael Leao to Real Madrid and several other clubs, but no one has responded to the offer since it was submitted.

So the decision to extend the contract is much better than waiting for some clubs that submit offers to him, in my opinion this is the right decision taken by Rafael Leao, at least for the next few seasons related to his future, because when intending to move to other clubs also do not necessarily get the hours of play as given by AC Milan.

Manchester United are said to be worried about the possibility that they might not be able to sign Kane this summer. Because Tottenham still don't seem willing to let him go easily. It is up to Kane's statement from now on as well. Actually he said something on the current condition of the team. But he didn't put it in a way like he wanted to leave the team from now on or said that he was open to offers.

I think joining Manchester United would be a much better move for him. He won't be leaving England first of all and he can make Manchester United much stronger to be more competitive for titles.
There remains uncertainty regarding Kane's long-term future, with him having one year left on his current contract. I think Manchester United have a six-man striker shortlist for the summer, but Harry Kane remains the club's leading target in the final third of the field. So if they can’t convince Harry Kane to join them, they can still get their hands on another quality striker like Goncalo Ramos or Ramus Hojlund of Atalanta. Honestly taking Harry Kane out of Tottenham is going to be a very difficult job and I don’t see it happening this summer.
why is kane so difficult to leave a club he has not given them any trophy? what kind of loyalty is that, its crazy how a young good striker wants to end his career without winning any European trophy as a captain. it's time for him to move to other club that is ready to fight for trophy next season, Manchester united are in need of a good striker and Kane is a perfect match for them. put if he is tired of premier league football, Bayern Munich need him too, he has so many option to move to an elite club if he wants to, he can forbid the one year contract with Tottenham. it all depend on him.
I completely agree with you!
It seems like he has lost his patience with Spurs.
He hasn't been able to achieve any trophies with them so far.
From what I guess, due to a long relationship with Tottenham Kane is confusing whether to go or not. The club also determined to keep him, even though he only has one year left on his current contract.

What I believe that it would be best idea to sell Kane this summer. So, he could join a team where he has a better chance of winning a trophy. I believe that Bayern Munich would be an ideal destination for him where he has a better chance of winning silverware with them compared to Manchester United.

Chelsea selling Cucurella after a season? I really doubt this. Only thing I can read is Cucurella being offered in swap deal for Felix which I think could be possible but then again I have my doubts as they will be left with only one option- Chilwell as a left back.
Chelsea needs strikers, it is a good idea to swap Cucurella with Felix. But I don't think Felix performed quite well so far, he even did some bad performances previously. Even if Cehsela succeeds to swap Cucurella with Felix, they still need other strikers. They must plan to look for 2 top strikers in the next transfer windows to strengthen their attacking line.
Chelsea are trying to convince Atletico Madrid to swap Chelsea players with Felix, it is reported that with two players Aubameyang and Cucurella is this possible because it is felt that Chelsea will not be strong enough to make Felix permanent by buying.

Not so impressive for Felix for half a season maybe he hasn't found his identity with Chelsea but if he had stayed longer maybe he would have been much better as his performance.

Because Chelsea's current badness all affects its players so they can't do their best for Chelsea.

But how good is Joao Felix really? I know that he is strong with the ball and can accelerate very well and go into driblings, but is he really the offender that Chelsea needs? He has only 25 goals to his name in almost four years for Atletico Madrid. The numbers Chelsea is moving around for transfers are astronomical. If they decide to spend so much money anyway, why aren't they trying to get someone who could be even more expensive, but has an inbuilt goal scoring insurance so to say. Chelsea has a heavy problem in their offensive game with 34 goals in 34 games. I can't believe that these numbers are true, but they are. Joao Felix won't solve that problem.

I just saw him as a player that is very loyal to the ac milan. There have been many clubs targeted him since last transfer season, but he was choosing to stay even longer in ac milan. Intermilan has lautaro martinez and ac milan has leao which has become a player with most contribution to the club. If he agreed with the new contract, that means he was feeling satisfied with his current salary. That's very to say that i will miss seeing him play in another league like EPL.

I do feel how confidence leao in this club. Ac milan is so lucky to have him on its side. Leao is a potential player and that's the main reason why ac milan decided to extend his contract.

Maybe from Milan this contract extension feels very profitable and of course the fans are also happy to hear this news. Rafael Leao is a talented player and has contributed a lot while wearing the Milan jersey. I think that from Rafael Leao's part he feels disadvantaged, but as long as the player is very comfortable playing at Milan it's not a problem. The price clause is actually not that expensive either, but still no other team wants to spend that price. Maybe he is better at Milan first while continuing to hone his skills so that other teams are also starting to be tempted to sign him.

Arsenal have decided to extend with Bukayo Saka for 4 more years (until 2028) and he is okay for this deal also. This is absolutely one of the best actions Arsenal could have taken honestly. Saka is one of the most valuable players in the team now. He is only 21 years old maybe but the things he has done so far are amazing anyway. This season is also going great for him with 14 goals and 11 assists in total. Saka was speculated to be a candidate for Manchester City in next transfer window but now he wouldn't be anymore.

Look at the grow rate in Saka's market value in the recent 3 years:


Arsenal and Saka's talks over the past few weeks have gone smoothly, personally, Saka has said he wants to continue to stay at the Emirates Stadium. His desire to stay has made negotiations with Arsenal work very well, the four-year contract extension making him an important part of Arsenal's long-term plans. Being able to score two goals against Crystal Palace in Week 28 of the Premier League made him the only player who managed to do so. Bukayo is a valuable asset for Arsenal at the moment with his high quality and young age. Now that I've heard some rumors that the Guiners will raise his salary significantly at the start of his new contract, I think this is reasonable. The various achievements that have been carved now make him one of the best players and also the foundation for Arteta's team.
Bukayo Saka is an untouchable asset in this Arsenal side. He has played a pivotal role in the Arsenal’s title challenge this season and is the only Premier League player to reach double figures for goals and assists. He’s a player adored by the Arsenal fans, his team-mates and coaches alike, and with the way it is, Saka looks set to commit his future at the Emirates by signing a long-term new contract that would make him the club's best-paid player. It’s important for the team to keep their best players and not make the mistakes they made then, allowing their players to leave.

That's right. This is quite a good move for both parties. For Bukayo Saka, Arsenal is a club that can keep him in top form because his place in the squad will get more playing time compared to other clubs that Saka may not necessarily get.
For Arsenal, giving a new contract to Bukayo Saka is the same as keeping future assets in running a long-term project considering Saka's contribution to the Gunners is quite promising while making a fence to other interested clubs.

For me, this new contract extension can dismiss the news that Arsenal are not a club that does business with star players born from them.
Congratulations on Bukayo Saka new contract.

I think the conversation over Harry Kane leaving in search of silverware is not a new one by any means, but it is one that needs an answer sooner rather than later. His future has been a major talking point in recent years and it will increase to new levels ahead of next term as he gets set to enter the final 12 months of his contract. I don’t think Tottenham chairman won’t allow him leave except on good negotiating terms. With the pressure surrounding Kane’s transfer, I think Levy want to appoint a new head coach and also improve the playing squad and try and keep Kane, who has been linked with Manchester United and other top clubs.


We know Harry Kane is a loyal player but if he wants to leave his team for another team, now is the time because of his age he won't get any offer better than what he got in the next season, and playing on teams like Manchester United or Bayern Munch can help him achieve his goals.

Yeah i knew that too.

The sun has been reported it but it's not yet confirmed by manchester united regarding the possibility transfer for kane. There were some reasons why MU might be giving up from getting him :

Complicated process since levy is not even having intention to sell kane to another club. Levy wants kane to stay in totenham until the end of his contract.

Clause release is also very big. It's more than 100 millions pounds.

There are some optinos for MU like ramos and hojlund .

It's better MU used the money worth with kane clause release to buy new defenders and strikers from another club.




I think joining Manchester United would be a much better move for him. He won't be leaving England first of all and he can make Manchester United much stronger to be more competitive for titles.
It's better for him to leave from totenham after his contract will end with spurs. There will be a lot of teams contact him caused by he leaves with free transfer status.
