It is reported that Roberto Firmino will leave Liverpool in the summer on a free transfer. After eight years in the Reds uniform and having won many titles, he is finally starting to think about the next future and this is a good step because he has very rarely been included in the starting line or has come on as a substitute which Liverpool has played in every game. Which club do you think Firmino will continue his future with?

I hear rumors about Erik Ten Hag wanting to buy Harry Cane(or Victor Osimhen) as a central striker and Franky De Jong and/or Jude Bellingham in the midfield. Bellingham, on the other hand, wants to join Real Madrid. The are offers to the Glaser family coming from different sides and I guess that Manchester United will have a new owner by the summer of 2023. This means a bigger budget and more money for new players.
Perhaps United will return to the "sir Alex" era of competing for the Premier League and the Champions League cups every year.
I also hear rumors about Arsenal wanting to buy Ducan Vlahovic from Juventus. Vlahovic doesn't fit the Arsenal style. I don't know why Mikel Arteta would want to buy a heavy striker. Arsenal is doing just fine in attacking and scoring goals.

Erik Ten Hag is doing a decent job with the squad, I doubt the deal for Victor Oshime, he deserves Chelsea, that's only if they sign a top manager. ( Zidane or Enrique ). Harry Kane might be the best option but I don't want the repetition of history, especially how Van Persie had just a good season and Injury crises for the rest.

With the recent Barcelona transfer ban, they'll b forced to sell, so I'm sure of Manchester United getting Franky De Jong since he's top of the list amongst players to be signed. Still anticipating to hear Manchester United has finally been sold.
Vlahovic to Arsenal is a waste move, they already have Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah, he'll prolly become an alternative player who lacks game time. No need for the switch.

hmph..

Zidane somewhere stated publicly that he is ready to coach a club again when everything is looking great. That was to be expected.

That he denied Brazilians offer or request isn't surprising. I don't think that Zidane is the guy who wants to have long distance travels all the time out of Europe. He seems to be a very relaxed yet focussed guy who exactly knows what he wants. And to be honest he can actually get what he wants as the soccer player he was and then all the success he had with Real Madrid. His behavior is backed up with full credibility. I initially thought that Chelsea might not be a club for him, but if they keep improving the squad at full speed, perhaps it is possible that next summer we will see him coaching Chelsea.

Zidane is the coach that PSG really hopes for, that's a rumor very often i read in several media. However, Zidane has a history with Juventus and there is an assumption that Zidane has a chance to coach Juventus too. When it comes to opportunities, I think Juventus have more opportunities than PSG. Returning to Madrid, it seems not, because there is a possibility that he will look for other club options. Chelsea? I'm not sure he will going to Chelsea.

These days I started to see some rumours such as Barcelona would be likely to sell some of their players to raise funds.

Even Raphinha is shown like he is in this list. Maybe this is the reason why Barcelona are targeting to sign Bernardo Silva in the summer on one hand. Silva would be a great strength addition to the team surely. But I would rather giving up on Dembele instead of Raphinha. There would be many people who can disagree with this but I think Raphinha performs better than Dembele. Besides Dembele is quite injury-prone now. Xavi said before how he liked Dembele but I think Silva should replace him instead.

Now that Deschamps contract was extended until 2026, Zidane won't just be sitting around and waiting for 3.5 years until he could become the national coach for France. It is plausible to me that he would become a club coach this summer, stay there for 2 or 3 years and then become the national coach.

When you say he wants a team in a perfect condition, which team in your opinion is in a perfect condition? Right now I find it hard to say. I think generally PSG is a club that he would coach if the offer is right and the players stay there and he could perhaps add a couple of new players that he wants. But if Mbappe leaves he might also change his mind again.

Would he go to Chelsea? That is difficult to tell. Guardiola's contract is also running until 2025. I doubt that it is going to be Liverpool as he might not be fully convinced of the quality of the team although that is probably not major issue. Depends on whether they qualify for the Champions League and if they do, Klopp is not going to leave.

There is Real Madrid and I would like to see what happens when Ancelotti wins the Champions League. Will he remain the coach for another year? He said Real Madrid is his last club ever. But if Real Madrid wins it, would Zidane still go there or would he think that he could only do worse the next season?

When I think about Zidane, I think about him wanting a particular team that is in great condition, which is why I mentioned Real Madrid again, the French national team, and maybe PSG.
But it is hard to know what he wants, maybe he doesn't even want to work as a coach anymore.

The Brazilian team has already tried to approach Zidane for a possible contract, but he has already denied it even before any contact.

The biggest probability, in my opinion, is for Ancelotti to finish this season with Real Madrid and then go to the Brazilian team and Zidane to take over once again Real Madrid.
And the second best probability would be for Zidane to wait for Deschamps to finish his contract with France to take over the national team.

I agree with you that if it's money maybe if Osimhen is loyal to his current team it won't be a problem. But we are talking about his career, as a footballer he definitely wants to be in a bigger team than Napoli, like a team from La Liga or the Premier League. Maybe he also has a dream team, so with the great performances he has managed to show it will be a way for him to join other big teams, because now there are also many big teams who want to get his signature.
Yeah and that's why osimhen has not decided yet whether he wanna leave or stay even longer in the club. I meant we shall take a look at how confident he was staying in napoli. If osimhen will able to get at least three trophies with napoli and im sure osimhen will be staying with napoli.

His contract will expire in 2025 and it's still very long time for him to determine what will be his new club. Osimhen's release clause is very big but it may decrease with the goes of time since his contract with napoli will be even shorter.
Napoli is also willing to extend his contract since osimhen is a very special player for napoli.

Victor Osimhen is one of the strikers targeted by Europe's top clubs next summer. natural, because he played very well with Napoli. most likely, if Osimhen will leave in the next transfer market if there is a top European club that dares to bring him with a high enough dowry. because as we know, a few weeks ago the president of Napoli said he hoped and believed that his star player would stay with Napoli for a long time. however, it is possible for Oshimen to leave next summer. also, he says, sometimes there are offers they can't refuse. meaning, the opportunity to bring in Osimhen is wide open. however, on condition that the price tag is fantastic. I'm sure, if MU or Chelsea have the opportunity to sign him in the transfer window next summer.

If osimhen will able to get at least three trophies with napoli and im sure osimhen will be staying with napoli.

I don't think Osimhen will leave the club in the summer transfer market. he is really enjoying the game with the current squad. I think he is aware, a good game he might not get in another team.
Several clubs, such as Arsenal and Chelsea, were reportedly interested in Osimhen some time ago. I Napoli have to think about their fate if they lose their most productive player.
even if only with 1 Serie A trophy, Napoli should be strong to maintain osimhen with better ambitions next season.
Osimhen performance with Napoli who has scored 19 goals in Serie A has invited the attention of several Premier League clubs. Besides Arsenal and Chelsea, Manchester United are also very interested in the appearance shown by Osimhen this season. Osimhen has emphasized his commitment with Napoli, his ambitions at this time want to deliver Napoli to win the trophy this season.
Although he had said the Premier League is his attraction if one day wants to move from Napoli, the focus is currently only for Napoli, he has not thought about the next step because his contract with Napoli is still two years left.


As a matter of fact, Napoli is a football club that doesn't have the capital to invest in and the financial power to keep an effective player like Osimhen for a third season. In my opinion, Osimhen will leave Napoli at the end of this season for a team that has more financial power than them, and he is likely to end up playing with a team in the Premier League, such as Manchester United, at the end of this season.

Rumors about Harry Kane and Osimhen going to Manchester United have been heard a lot, but it doesn't look like that will be as realistic in the near future as it will be in the summer. I think both players are still comfortable at their respective clubs and are reluctant to leave unless they are bored or want to try a new challenge. But for Harry Kane I think the summer is the right time to leave Spurs.

For Rumors Arsenal are interested in signing Vlahovic from Juventus, I don't think there is anything wrong with Arteta's style of play because of course he wants a tall striker to catch the attention of defenders and Vlahovic has a very good finish in front of goal.

From what Erik ten Hag has done, I as a Manchester United fan am starting to see what you are saying.
Under Erik ten Hag's tutelage, Manchester United's signature attack through the wings is starting to reappear. Almost every Manchester United goal in every match is born from the wing sector not from the main striker. It is proven that Rashford, Garnacho, Antony, Bruno, Fred to Casemiro are not players who are positioned as centre forwards.

If indeed the ETH rumours want to buy Osimhen, it's a very good move because Werghost who is positioned as a pure striker is forced to play a new role in his squad this season and get ready for the new era of Manchester United in Europe to arrive soon.

There is one thing I would like to say that the Ferguson era is a thing of the past and we want a new era without the shadow of Sir Alex.

It's still rumor. Harry kane is still waiting for totenham to extend his contract while at the same time napoli is also having intention to give osimhen a new contract with double salary from his current salary. I see no chance for united to buy one from both of top strikers without used very very big amounts of money to make those players interested to join MU. Aiming for kane makes more sense for MU rather than osimhen as napoli's president has been even stating if its club will not let osimhen to leave from the club easily. Osimhen was a player that was bringing napoli at the peak performance in serie a. I think that napoli can also give more offer too.
Victor Osimhen has become a very important player for Napoli now, so it looks like getting Harry Kane will be easier than bringing Victor Osimhen to Old Trafford. Manchester United will be hunting for players in the upcoming transfer market, and I think they will be able to more easily convince players with their current performance, because before that they always had difficulty competing for the signatures of the players they were after because their performance was not good.

Manchester United currently on their top performance, those players have nothing to lose to join Manchester United because they will get a lot popularity and their performance are good in their current teams. Dortmund, Tottenham and Napoli are just mediocre teams, just use that's team as the step stone to join the bigger teams. I believe the players will get better salary too. However Frenkie De Jong have been joined one of the best team in La Liga, so he can choose to stay in Barcelona.
Up to the next level when joining Manchester United than keep staying with Tottenham Hotspur for Harry Kane and Victor Osimhen keep playing with Napoli until his contract expiry in 2025. Indeed this season Napoli have promising performance and potential with Serie A tittle but joining Manchester United become great opportunity and he will be more popular than staying with Napoli.

For Harry Kane I think become second chance for him after last two season rejected with Manchester United offering and keep stay for Tottenham Hotspur without any trophy yet during in his career, seems have bigger opportunity get tittle with Manchester United after having top performance and EFP Cup tittle is the proof how Erik Tan Hag can bring United more success on the next season.

The reason why we think Victor Osimhen is going to leave Napoli for another club is the situation of Napoli because we know in Napoli they are unable to pay him the salary he can get in from a British Club in Premier League a team like Chelsea or Manchester United can pay enough for this player while Napoli cannot have a race with them otherwise Osimhen is under contract until 2025 and normally he should stay there.


I generally agree with you on this. But also I have slightly different opinions. Napoli is having a fantastic season this year. No one can claim otherwise. There is no other team as successful as them in other elite leagues of Europe. But I don't know if they will be able to repeat this success next year. I have some doubts about this. Because being a great team is not a one-season success. Being a great team is a culture. Teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United, Juventus are the most important representatives of this culture. I think football players always want to go to big teams. Osimhen may want to leave the team for this reason.

Yeah the money will be the issue with him staying at Napoli for a longer period because his performances are outstanding and it is normal that the wealthy clubs will come with huge offers that might change his mind. Napoli will not be able to compete with them by stepping up his wage to a certain level to fend off the competition.
As long as osimhen will still be loyal to the club and money shall not become a problem for him. Napoli will put him as an exception for the club to give him more salary once he will agree to keep playing in napoli. It's now osimhen's choice whether he wanna stay in the club even longer or not.
The thing that must become his main concern about his career. He can go to a big club like real madrid or something else to make his career go even higher. It has been published so many times if napoli is willing to increase his salary for the next contract. I see that money is not a problem here.
