There are lots of news saying that Liverpool is preparing to extend Salah's contract.  Smiley  This is great to hear honestly. It is a big privilege to watch a player like him in the Premier League. He is still performing amazingly. Liverpool clearly needs him.

Maybe you will say he is getting old but this doesn't affect his performance negatively. Special players generally show this to us. I hope he doesn't go to Saudi Arabia next summer. His current contract ends by that time.

Salah doesn't look unhappy either. He is just enjoying his game. It seems like he doesn't have any problems with Arne Slot too.
This is good news for the Liverpool fans because after the clash between Salah and Jurgen Klopp, it looked like Mo Salah time at Liverpool would be cut short. I thought Salah was going to leave the club when Saudi came knocking but that didn’t happen. Klopp was the one that made a move away from Liverpool. Mo Salah seems to have a great relationship with Arne Slot. Watching Liverpool games this season and seeing how well he has been performing shows he is very happy playing in the Liverpool shirt, he deserves an extension.

Real Madrid is keeping an eye on the 23 years old Arsenal defender William Saliba for the next summer move:
 
Here is the thing Real Madrid's current defenders are just getting older, and Real Madrid needs to bring up a replacement for them. Antonio Rudiger is 31 years okd, despite David Alaba is more than 32 years old, and Nacho left the club for Saudi Arabia side. So looking forward they are going to sign the replacement for them and the replacement is Arsenal center back William Saliba.
 
William Saliba is considered one of the best defenders in Primer League. He won PFA Team of the Year twice back to back in two seasons with Arsenal and is the pair of center backs with Gabriel Magalhaes in the heart of the Arsenal defense and only let only a few goals to concede in the entire season which is quite impressive...
 
So this remarkable performance forced Real Madrid to attract and now they want to make William Saliba a part of their defense. William Saliba's current market value is £67.5m. What do you guys think, should Arsenal demand Saliba's £67.5m value or more? Express your opinion.

https://x.com/DeadlineDayLive/status/1832675093140361329?t=p4_LqoZNypeKACVmmq7gwA&s=19

Does Real Madrid ready to break a transfer record to get Saliba? We know he has a long-term contract with the Gunners. It takes more effort for Madrid to get him from this London club.

It's very obvious that market value has nothing to do with the price tag given by Arsenal itself. If Madrid can afford more than £100m for him, then they can start a conversation; anything less is a no.

Saliba is considered a very important asset owned by Arsenal. He's young, strong, consistent, and a hard worker. A complete CB like him would cost more than 100 million just to open the talk with the gunner.

I am glad that Victor Osimhen finally secured a club after all the delays and tensions. Seeing this headline today, I think it is worth discussing because it has some lessons. To be a successful player, talent is not enough, character is more important. Victor made some mistakes that affected his transfer, he has anger management issues. His unguided comments about some coaches he has worked under are not okay. Coaches should have the right human management skills but no coach would like to work under a player who cannot control his emotions.

How some players react to certain situations in public has effect on their career and I have never imagined it was because of the issue he heard with Findi George that may have resulted to this transfer issues he had, I mean indirectly his anger management issues with Napoli could have caused his delayed transfer and not getting the club he wanted with a good offer. Mikel Arteta only showed up in the transfer window for Osimhen’s talk at a time, he didn’t follow up again after that, maybe he stopped after he immediately lost interest in the guy’s behaviour. This should be a lesson to him and other players though, your coach is your superiors and should be respected all the time.

If so then it is good news for them, this is something that is expected regarding players who are confirmed to still be able to play and are not seriously injured. Barcelona is in financial trouble and when there is bad news about their players it will clearly cause new problems, especially if the player has a good performance. Real Madrid for example, they do have a luxurious squad and they also don't have any significant problems. However, when many of their players are injured it will make it difficult for them. Because the injured players are the main players in the team. Injuries are something that cannot be predicted at all, even though the player takes care of himself very carefully, but when they have to get injured no one can stop them, sometimes they also get injured during training sessions.

No matter how good a team is once they actually start getting injury crisis they easily get into trouble, Barcelona as a team have a very thing squad that is there is no significant depth due to their financial difficulties to have much players on their pay role so any injury to their first team players will be a very serious problem for them. Injuries sometimes are said to be unavoidable but to me there is numerous ways that we can simply have the players more fit by reducing the congestion of games.

First of all the friendlies that is been organized is completely useless to me and very unhealthy for this players. How can we have country friendlies just less than a month into the new season, this needs to be scrapped by the football federations. I don’t blame clubs that prevent their players from going sometimes to this friendlies by lying that they are injured, most of the countries do not take care of the players rather when they get injured they ship them back to the club again

the existence of the release clause provision that may be targeted by Madrid who have been rumored to be very interested in bringing in Haaland and allowing him to play with Mbappe on one team. it is unimaginable if Madrid has Vinicius, Mbappe, and Haaland in their attack line.
~~
I don't think Real Madrid will be interested in bringing Earling Haaland. This is a depiction of fake rumors that Real Madrid intend to bring Earling Haaland. And even if it is assumed that Earling Haaland is signed, it will still be a problem for Real Madrid in the squad rotation. Because Real Madrid has already signed Killyan Mbappe. So players like Killyan Mbappe, Vinice Junior and Rodrigo are used in the front three in the squad and if Earling Haaland is signed, then 4 Superstar players are used in one match at the same time. It will be impossible to do.
 
So it's meant to say that this could be a fake news published only to spread rumors among people. Because first of all, it is clear that even Manchester City will not agree to let Earling Haaland move to another club and secondly, Real Madrid's attack is strong enough, why does it need to bring more players.

Pep Guardiola's contract will end in the summer of 2025 but until now there has been no sign that he wants to extend his service at Manchester City. I wonder if the previous rumors about Pep Guardiola leaving at the end of the season will really happen because the coach has also created a long history with Man City so far, Pep Guardiola must immediately make his decision because finding a coach like him is not easy for the big club.

The club has anticipated that if Pep Guardiola leaves next season, the club will dig deep into its pockets to recruit many star players so that its performance remains stable and does not experience a drastic decline.

As if City didn't spend enough under Guardiola  Grin
But in fact you are right - I saw information that the club plans to allocate 300 million to the new coach for transfers. But still, the most important thing is how the League vs. City case ends - if the League wins, then sanctions will be imposed on City and Guardiola will leave, if City can get away with it again, then he will stay and continue his dirty deeds.

If the report in the headline about Arsenal's manager Mikel Arteta backing out his interest on Victor Osimhen because of the spat with Finidi George is true, then I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I love Victor Osimhen and will want him to continue to fly high but discipline and self control from unnecessary issues are the things he must possess in other to remain at the top. There are managers who doesn't like to work with players with past track record of media dramas and they do that in other to avoid having same experience with the said players which I think is okay

I wonder if the previous rumors about Pep Guardiola leaving at the end of the season will really happen because the coach has also created a long history with Man City so far, Pep Guardiola must immediately make his decision because finding a coach like him is not easy for the big club.

The club has anticipated that if Pep Guardiola leaves next season, the club will dig deep into its pockets to recruit many star players so that its performance remains stable and does not experience a drastic decline.
I think Manchester City will continue with Pep Guardiola. Guardiola is the most important part of the current Manchester City. Players can be the most important part of a team, but if you are Guardiola, you can be the best part of the team. His technical knowledge is amazing. His analysis of the opponent is great. Also Manchester City achieved a lot of success during this period. He adapted the team to go on for many years without any problems. He made all the players fit together. I think the management will extend his contract.
Most likely no. That's enough Guardiola to coach the club. He dreams of coaching the national team. And i think he has no interest in extending his contract with Manchester City. However, City may be trying to convince him to stay, but i believe Guardiola is not gonna take a new offer from City.

I think he wants to end his career at a football club. Then, he wants to chase his dream of managing a national team. He has signalled it in many of his interviews. He'd not stay forever there. He must complete his dream.

At club level, Pep Guardiola has won everything, it is natural that the Spanish manager wants a new challenge by coaching the National Team. Pep Guardiola contract will expire in June 2025, Manchester City reportedly gave a deadline until December 2024, whether the manager will decide to stay or leave.

Everything is possible, as is known, the England National Team is very interested in appointing him as the new manager after parting ways with Southgate. Even the 2026 World Cup will be the first opportunity for Pep Guardiola if he officially leaves Manchester City and chooses to coach the England National Team, he will have one of the best squads.

On the other hand, staying with Manchester City is also not a bad decision, he has the potential to win more trophies in various competitions. Arsenal fans certainly pray that Pep Guardiola will leave soon, so that their steps to win the Premier League trophy will be easier, as well as other elite Premier League teams.

Yes. Pep Guardiola has not made any official announcement about his stay or departure, making "The Citizens" fans somewhat worried. If Pep Guardiola decides not to sign a new deal. Man City must be ready to react strongly. Man City must launch a huge transfer package to support the new coach. They should understand that the new Man City manager will need a lot of financial resources to bring in top recruits for his new empire at the Etihad.
We still don't know which coach will take over the hot seat of The Citizens after Pep Guardiola. But one thing is for sure, Man City's board of directors is also doing everything to keep Pep Guardiola in Manchester after 2025. Hopefully, they can keep Pep Guardiola, to continue to conquer and set legendary records for an extremely successful empire.
I think the fan should more worried about the possible penalty for the fianancial fair play issue.
We everyone thinks that they will have no points as penalty but this should be too big to ignore it.

The penalty if come will be very big.

So in the end it will be nothing at all or relegation to second division.

Pep's decision will be everything for his future. He is someone who doesn't really get influenced by money, or other things. If he realizes that his time at City is over, he will call it a day and won't think of more discussions at all.

There's a word around that City's plan for Pep's replacement is Arteta, and it's also said that Arteta is doing really great at Arsenal, but apparently, he might be open for a move at City. If that happens eventually, City won't have to worry as Arteta's been Pep's assistant for a long time, and both of them have a very similar approach to football.

Real Madrid is keeping an eye on the 23 years old Arsenal defender William Saliba for the next summer move:
 
News about Saliba for Madrid has been around for several months where indeed the condition of Madrid's defense has always been a concern not because of performance problems but because of the unending injury problems of some of their defenders.
Alaba is still not fit to play, Rudiger and Militao are also often problematic because they are very susceptible to injury which makes things a little complicated for Madrid and previously we also saw that Saliba was rumored to be in Madrid even though until the transfer season ended no deal actually happened.

Next season or possibly in the winter transfer window, Madrid will try to make some waves by bringing in defenders because forcing their conditions where they are vulnerable to a hurricane of injuries is likely to be very difficult so the option of adding new players is the most likely thing to do.

William Saliba has been outstanding since joining Arsenal. Even when he was on a loan to Olympique de Marseille, he finished as a top league defender there, so it is no surprise at all that he is attracting interest from top clubs. Too bad William Saliba is not for sale and certainly not going anywhere. Arsenal fans adore him, I doubt he will be leaving Arsenal this season nor the next. Real Madrid will have to look elsewhere for a replacement for Rudiger.

William Saliba has already earned this attention with the football he plays. He will now be on the transfer list of big clubs. Everyone has seen that he has improved his game and this development has made him the center of attention of big clubs.

I think that clubs do not care about defensive transfers. They pay a lot of money for attacking players but they do not spend much money on defense. In football, not conceding a goal is as important as scoring a goal. Therefore, the amount of money given to a good defender should not be important because it is difficult to find a good defender. William Saliba is also a good defender.

Looks lke we have a potential deal for Rabiot and Manchester United, for the 3rd time in 12 months.

According to rumors, he refused Galatasary for a potential deal of 30m in 4 years.
He also has no plans to accept Saudi Arabia too.


It is rumored he wants 40m for 4 years deal.

It is actually very good news for him otherwise his career would have derailed pretty badly in my opinion.

It was confirmed that Antonio Conte was never going to play him in the next season. At least definitely not as much as he would have wanted to. So it is obviously good for him that he could actually go to Galatasaray. At least he will be able to play as much as he wants in that club.

You could say that his staying at Napoli could have been the biggest mistake of his career so far.
But if you ask me, at the end of the day, the mistake is done by himself and he has only himself to blame for that.

I am pretty sure that a lot of people had actually told him to get out of Napoli while he still could. But obviously, he did not take that advice. I am just glad that he did not have to suffer too much for it.
And also at this early stage of his career, he should really think about that anger management issue that he has.

Luckily for Spain they didn't lose Olmo due to injury, Barcelona were also lucky. Olmo has been one of the players who caught the most attention at the start of this season with Barcelona, ​​but Olmo has actually been a good player since the previous few seasons with Leipzig and Spain too. He has made a valuable contribution to the Spanish squad every time he is called up, if he is injured then it is clear that both parties will be at a huge disadvantage.

Since being brought in from Leipzig, Dani Olmo has scored 2 goals in 2 appearances. He really has connections with other Barcelona players who actually also play for Spain, so his adaptation to the game didn't take much time. It's still early in the season, but if Olmo is seriously injured then his performance will definitely have an impact once he recovers.

The entire Barcelona and Spanish team would be worried over Olmo's injury, Olmo has been a great addition for Barcelona this season, he's made good contributions even though he just got recently signed and he's gradually becoming one of the most reliable players in the Barcelona squad, losing him to an injury would've indeed been a big disadvantage for Barcelona. Come to think of it, I think Barcelona made the right choice in bringing Dani Olmo to their team, sometimes you don't really need to have the best players in your team to succeed, a good player that connects well with his teammates and understand the coaches tactics is enough to help a team improve and Dani Olmo is a prove to that, I just hope it's not a very serious injury that would keep him away for a long time and cause him to drop form, I think Flick would be more worried lately cause this current situation would cause him to figure out a temporary replacement for Olmo.

I like to believe that he has learnt his lessons now.

Victor Oshime wouldn't be a bad idea but I doubt he'll want to play for a club who had history of not winning European Competitions.
If Arsenal persisted and was able to meet up to the wage requirement that he was demanding, he would have ended up in Arsenal even without us not winning any European competition yet. These players like to relish the idea that they go down in history as their signing was what helped the club make a new record, they know they can achieve legendary status that way.

Luckily, it wasn't a fatal injury, and Dani Olmo could soon be back on the pitch. If it were a truly long injury, then it would clearly be a big loss for Barcelona because Dani Olmo could join and play with Barcelona in a fairly complicated way due to Barcelona's financial condition. Even that sacrificed Gundogan, who went to Man City so that Dani Olmo could be registered.

Many people were doubtful when Barcelona decided to sign Dani Olmo rather than Nico Williams, but looking at how Dani Olmo performed with Barcelona and the 2 goals he has scored, it seems that it will be able to clear the hesitation.

There is bad news for Barcelona, ​​because the player who performed well is reported to have suffered a serious injury, namely Dani Olmo. Of course this is detrimental news for Barcelona if the injury he suffered will take a long time.
He will currently undergo tests and to ensure whether he can recover quickly or not. He will also be absent from the training session because he will undergo a medical test earlier. I hope this is not a fatal injury and he can return quickly. Because Barcelona also has players who have been injured at the beginning of this season. Indeed, injuries are scary things for both players and teams.

I'm sorry, but that's old news. Romano has given the latest update regarding the situation of Olmo's injury. He's not getting a serious injury, and he will be back to play in the next friendly game for Spain.



De La Fuente, Spain's coach, has been confirming it if Olmo is not getting a serious injury. He could get seriously injured if De La Fuente pushes him to play more in the friendly.

And yeah, La Fuente is a criminal 'cause every time Barcelona players come back injured.
If so then it is good news for them, this is something that is expected regarding players who are confirmed to still be able to play and are not seriously injured. Barcelona is in financial trouble and when there is bad news about their players it will clearly cause new problems, especially if the player has a good performance.
