Arsenal does not require a player like Asensio at this time, and he would prefer not to be there because the competition for a position will be fierce. But, because he's a versatile player, he might be able to play from Mertinelli's wing, but that can't be guaranteed either, as Martinelli is doing well and developing under Arteta's tutelage. Making Asensio a substitute or second choice for Saka will be detrimental to his career, as he requires more playing time than ever before.
Asensio will be a long term plan by arsenal. The transfer season already closed and asensio will come next season if arsenal will be decided to buy him. Saka needs backup to prevent once he may get injury anytime. That's better to make a prevention rather than waiting for saka to be injured. I hope that saka will never get injury caused by saka is really important for arsenal. Asensio looks good to be a backup for saka.
Arsenal needs to build long term plan. it's not only until the end of season. that's why arsenal has been targeting saka as next player to be bought by the club. Stan kroenke was fully supporting arteta.
I agree, but Asensio is not a player that you can just simply bench all the time, you need to play him a bit as well, even if you sub him in later in the game, he has to play, if you keep him out of the game for too long, he will create some sort of drama. Look at him now, played in nearly 1000 minutes this year, and not in every game, but he did played in some games and that is the important thing.

I believe that he will ask the same thing, not to play in every game, but get good minutes to show himself. However, I may agree that if they do not get him, that would still be fine and I think it would be not a big deal for anyone if they just not buy him.

Asensio is a good player but Real Madrid is a special club and as we have seen just being good (and sometimes even super good) is not enough to be a first team player here. If the club and the player have such a big disagreement about the salary (almost 20%), then they may part ways. I don't think Asensio is in a strong negotiating position, as in the summer transfer window Real Madrid will most likely be looking for one super forward (Mbappe) to pair with Benzema (or immediately replace him) and a second one for the future (when Benzema completely leaves).
The team is build up with fantastic players who have the top experience needed to lift trophies for the club. They're among the best team in the world and almost a dream club for every player. The board is a good one with planning on signing new potential players to the club. Marcos Asensio is a top talent player in real madrid and every European team would want the Spaniard player in their team. The Los blancos want him to stay in the club to further his football career but they're not planning to meet up the bids placed on the table.

Currently Manchester United have two big targets for their centre-forward position. These players are Harry Kane and Victor Osimhen. There have been speculations like Manchester United are preparing an offer of 100 million pounds to sign Kane. This might seem as a really insane amount to some people but it isn't at least. Because teams are spending on such money for even some above average players these days. Maybe some other people can criticize the amount to be given for a 29-year-old player.

But Kane is definitely worth this amount. He is still an amazing striker and we have been witnessing how capable striker he is since the beginning of the season. If this transfer doesn't happen they will go for Osimhen but I think it is more difficult to sign him compared to Kane.

Manchester United deserves such a great striker as Harry Kane in the team as that is what's currently missing even the current game they are playing. He will so form a good relationship with Rashford on the pitch if he moves to Manchester United.
Victor Oshimes team has declined any news about the sell of Victor Oshime to any of the top clubs with Paris Saint league, Chelsea and Man United all fighting for the signature of the Napoli star

The Turkish Football Federation made an official application to FIFA due to the earthquake disaster and demanded the extension of the transfer and registration period.
Normally, the transfer period was ending today, but for the last 3 days, everyone has been dealing with post-earthquake aid. All matches have been postponed. If FIFA answers yes, it's possible that the transfer period will be extended.

Malatyaspor goalkeeper lost his life. The cities of some clubs suffered great destruction. We look forward to seeing what steps they will take after some time has passed. At the moment these are not important, but after a while life will go on.
My heart goes to all the affected victims of the earthquake, so many lives and properties lost. I also think it will be a good gesture for Fifa to consider their request and extend the closing date of their transfer window. The country is facing an unfortunate setback which definitely will have an effect in the footballing world.

I think Asensio is important to them right now because they missed Benzema a few times, and that caused Asensio to get some attention, plus finding players that weren't that great and turning them better is what Real does, and they had Asensio for nearly a decade now, so they know what he is capable of. If given enough money, they would definitely sell him, well given enough money any team would sell any player, but I am not sure if Real would be ready to part ways right now, during summer could make sense, but its too late now to sell a player and get another one, it would be very difficult.
This player has long been rumored to be sold by Real Madrid, and it did not happen until now. If Real Madrid really didn't need him then we wouldn't see him at Real Madrid now. At a certain moment I think he will be the answer to what Real Madrid needs, as long as he is entrusted with showing all the abilities he has and giving what Real Madrid expects.

Maybe the reason Asensio chose to stay at Real Madrid was because he wanted to continue to be able to win the league and other European competitions. But I've just heard the latest news that Real Madrid have offered a contract extension until 2027 for a whopping €4.8 million net salary, but Asensio and his agent Jorge Mendes want €6 million. It seems that this will be a difficult decision between the club and the player, but what is certain is that even if Asensio does not agree to this offer, many clubs in Europe will want to bring him in the summer transfer market.

sea will stick with Graham Potter, at least until this season ends. Even though Chelsea's performance has not shown any improvement but the Chelsea Board doesn't seem too bothered by it. So rumors about Mourinho wanting to return to Chelsea is just a speculation from the media, where Mourinho felt he was not fully supported in the transfer window and it was associated with his desire to return to England.

Yes^^, I also don't think they are gonna sack him this soon. Everyone is aware of the situation of Chelsea and they do need signings right now. No one can work with a squad that is behind in certain areas as one of the big teams of PL. It is very hard with the pressure also so unless they get the signings that Potter needs and he still is unable to manage Chelsea well then I think he will be sacked and Chelsea will be on the search for a new manager.

Well, what about Graham is a fact, he will stay the season, but what I think about Mou will not leave Roma, he is very loved there, needless to say that he himself did not want to go and take over his national team in Portugal Due to the enormous commitment he has with Roma, this is something that must be put in context because when making any speculation, the decision of the great Mou must be taken into account, which is a very respectable decision and worthy of one of his world class For this, we all know what Mopu is like when he makes a commitment, he is quite good at fulfilling it, he will never leave things up in the air, he is a very responsible person

Arteta seems still not satisfied after successfully overhauling Arsenal squad to become one of the clubs that has the potential to win the Premier League this season. Reported by The Mirror, Arsenal plans to recruit a new winger. According to the report, Arsenal want to secure the services of Marco Asensio from Real Madrid.

Arsenal desire for Asensio is not without reason, Arsenal do not need to spend money to recruit Asensio because Asensio contract at the Bernabeu will expire in the summer, so far there has been no sign that Asensio will extend his contract at Madrid. Arsenal really want to be a new challenger in the Premier League, Arsenal evolution process will continue as Arteta capital to polish the team to be solid.
Asensio will be off contract in June, and he is a target for many clubs like Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United and Newcastle United. There have been reports that his Agents will jet in to London next week to discuss the possibility of a move to the Premier League. For Arsenal, I don’t think he’s going to be a thing for Arteta and Edu to ponder on. I not sure there have been any internal discussion about bringing him to the Emirates. They have Bukayo Saka already playing in that position, and I think Arteta has a better name on his list for the summer.

You didn't know about Asensio, but are you sure that Real Madrid will let him go? because a striker like him, who has scored goals lately, is hard to let go, it should be noted that they have Benzema and he is one of the most prized by Ancelotti and the managers themselves, the bad thing is his age does not help him not at all, so I don't know if Real Madrid will have plans to start replacing players with new ones or simply send players to play in other positions, which is also one of the things they can do because they have enough material to do it, I don't I would doubt it, because having Vini, Benzema and Camavinga is not just anything, and even more so with Modric creating in the center of the field, they are still the most galactic for me, it would be crazy if a Haaland could be inside, someone like that.

Watch: Marco Asensio Stuns Fans With Outrageous Goal For Real Madrid



Quote

Marco Asensio has been at the center of speculations for the past six months with various reports suggesting a possible transfer out of the La Liga. However, the 27-year-old proved to be instrumental for Real Madrid during their La Liga encounter against Valencia on Thursday as he opened the scoring with a sensational effort from outside the box. Minutes into the second half, Asensio received the ball from Karim Benzema on the edge of the penalty box and he was able to drill the shot past the Valencia goalkeeper. Real Madrid went on to win the encounter 2-0.

I would like Coutinho at Arsenal or Manchester United. I think he still has the potential to be a world class player but he is getting older now. I have watched him in the German league for Bayern and he was a very good player when he played for them. Injury problems I think is the biggest problem with him and he is not getting younger. The next move for him will be his last chance to prove himself before retirement and I think the Premier League or the Bundesliga suits him best. I do not watch much of the Spanish league but I heard he has not got the best of performances in spain. it is probably because of the different style of play. The Bundesliga and the Premier League are very similar in pace and ferocity. I do not think he suits Dortmund but I would be willing to give him a shot if we did make the move for him.
What potential? Even getting into the core line-up from West Ham, he is having a hard time right now. Is it possible that with his current condition the big EPL clubs will eye him as a player with potential?
Coutinho is a pretty good player but that was a few years ago now he's past that and in the last few seasons he's had nothing to be proud of at the moment so it's going to be very difficult for him now. Unless indeed he has a significant increase in performance which even in my opinion this is something that is difficult to happen because regardless of anything until now he has always experienced a decrease in performance.

Newcastle and Manchester City are both rumoured to sign James Maddison. I don't think there is any need for a player like Maddison for Manchester City. They already have a very solid squad now. They aren't in need of an attacking midfielder. Maybe they might be thinking of increasing the number of alternatives but I don't know if Maddison would be eager to wait in the substitutes.

On the other hand Newcastle would make use of a midfielder like him a lot. They are already trying to build a strong team for next season. Maddison would be a solid addition.
I agree with you that maybe Maddison will be needed more while at Newcastle. Competition at Manchester City is very tight to be able to occupy the main players in every match. I think it will be up to the player to decide, because there's nothing wrong with choosing Newcastle over Manchester City. Maybe Manchester City's name is now better than Newcastle, but they are now a team that will compete at the top with performances that I think are surprising this season.

James Madison should think about moving to Manchester City rather than Newcastle United, he is still a young talented player that needs to work with a good coach and pep is the one that fits him very well.
Newcastle are doing thie right plays this season, winning games and defending very well, they have to qualify for the champions league.
They signed some good players younger that will go along with the long plans for the club ans that is great.

But with that, is it really not too much? then why do they bring in wingers like Mudryk, Sterling or maybe even Joao this season? The presence of Leao will obviously make the wings more crowded in terms of competition which even though it's good but I think this will be an obstacle in the adaptation of new players.
Osimhen is also actually very good but does he really want to? Osimhen's chances of reaching the Top Score and selling in the domestic league in Italy are now open, unless he is willing to leave that and get nothing at Chelsea.
It's ridiculous move if Chelsea want to sign Leao, the problem of Chelsea is their strikers, they need to find a pure striker who score many goals like Lewandowski, Haaland, Kane etc. Osimhen is the top scorer in Serie A right now, so it's a good move if Chelsea can sign him. Chelsea midfielders aren't weak, there are a lot chances created by Fernandez, Mount and Kante. But the finisher aka striker can't maximize the chances created by the midfielders, it's why Chelsea is rarely win or score many goals.

For Osimhen side it's gambling, because he can be a superstar for carrying Chelsea or he can just choose a safer place but he will have a lot pressure since he need to replace the old great striker of the strong team.
Leao is a winger, not a midfielder, so maybe they are still thinking about this because of the dissatisfaction of Chelsea officials, even when they have brought in lots of players of the same type there.
As for Osimhen, when he was at Chelsea, it wasn't just going to be good right away and becoming a star because things could not be wanted again. Remember Lukaku before when he came from Serie A. The conditions are the same as Pogba was at Manchester United and it is possible that something like this will also happen to Osimhen, isnt it?

Yes that's correct. actually Chelsea need a striker who is sharper, Joao Felix has not been able to answer that. even on his first debut, he was suspended for a red card. Kai Havertz, unreliable, Auba, not showing his sharpness. after all, he'll be leaving next summer. while the other strikers, do not have a clear future. however Potter had no other choice but to make use of the available strikers, perhaps because of that the name Osimhen emerged in response to the team's need for a pure forward.

Even so, there are several clubs that want the services of this Napoli striker. Rumor has it that Napoli will release Oshimen next season and the club at the forefront is United. and if that's true, I think Oshimen would prefer United over playing for Chelsea. it's just that, the problem is, Napoli will sell Oshimen at a fantastic price.

On the last day of transfer season (if they don't extend the period) Beşiktaş transferred right wing back Onur Bulut from free transfer. Onur Bulut terminated his contract with Kayserispor. There were multiple clubs interested in him but he chose Beşiktaş. It's a good addition to the squad as Rosier don't have a backup player in right wing back. If Onur performs well he may even cut Rosier from the starting eleven as Rosier don't have a standard performance. He's only 28 years old so he's in his prime. Signing him for free is a great move for Beşiktaş. Hope to see him play in next matches.

This is my first time hearing about a such rumour. I meant i just see the news that chelsea is willing to pay any mounts of money as long as osimhen will be coming to stamford bridge. I don't even know why there was a rumor linked to the leao. The performance from osimhen is very consistent compared with leago. I will doubt if leao will be joining chelsea. Osimhen has become even better compared with leao. Chelsea is now putting osimhen as main target. I think that osimhen will be very suitable to become a new striker for chelsea.
Osimhen has pretty much the same play style as drogba. Osimhen can become the next drogba for chelsea. I prefer to see osimhen to go to the stamford bridge rather than leao.

The news is not too crowded and not many online media publish it. I read the news from football-Italia.net dan Football.london, which was on my Twitter timeline at that time. And from the same media, I read that Chelsea is ready to help pay off Leao's debt problems with Sporting if he is willing to join Chelsea this summer. Of course, so far this is just a rumor, but who knows, even get Osimhen, Chelsea keep their eyes to bring in Leao.
I think Todd Boehlly should be careful in other not to attract investigation or Charges. Chelsea already has Nkunku and Fofana coupled with some other attackers who sometimes can be used as false 9, but their present coach is unable to rotate and use these players. instead of paying all it takes to bring in a good coach he is out there to pay for another attacker.  I don't subscribe to this idea cuz Oshimen may not have a better future in England.

Previously, my condolences for the earthquake disaster that occurred in Turkey, this is sad news for everyone in the world and we hope that everything will return to normal as soon as possible. Regarding the deadline for the transfer of the Turkish league it seems that it will be a priority that is set aside first and of course FIFA will understand this. As for the players who play in the Turkish league clubs, I hope they are safe and can continue the competition when things start to subside. To the family of the Malatyaspor goalkeeper Ahmet Eyup, we wish them all the courage to face difficult times.

If Galatasaray is really able to sign Coutinho then i think this would be a huge deal for them. Philippe Coutinho is still one of the most talented players out there in the world of football in my opinion,

Coutinho was exceptional at Liverpool, but the transfer in Barcelona ruined his career. I don't know what happened in the Catalonian team with this guy. Going to a club like Galatasaray means that Coutinho is now basically a second tier player. Perhaps Jurgen Klopp would've tried to convince Coutinho into signing with Liverpool, so that the Brazilian player could get a chance to revive his career in a top tier club and help Liverpool in their battle for the fourth place in the Premier League.
Marco Asensio was never really a key player for Real Madrid. He's more like a substitute player, who replaces the big stars at the end of the match  for 10-15 minutes. Unfortunately he didn't turn into the new Raul Gonzales, despite the fact that he was prepared in Real Madrid's Academy. Maybe he will find his place in Arsenal.

The performance of Coutinho has greatly declined. Presently playing at Aston Villa, he rarely scores goals or assists or even to create chances. After his disastrous season in Barcelona, he went over to Bayern and actually did pretty good over there. He may have actually did better under Klopp at Liverpool. Now speculations going round about his move to Galatasaray over in Turkey.
In my opinion, Liverpool’s Salah performance has also dropped a notch. He hasn’t scored much goals as he did the previous season and with his recent performance, it doesn’t look like he would have a turn around soon.
