If Giroud wants to return to an EPL club I think that's good enough, but the level of competitiveness in the EPL is so high, I doubt that Giroud will be able to compete with the younger players. Even if he rejects the offer of a contract extension, I think he'd better go to another club in Serie A because there will definitely be other clubs who want to sign him in the summer.

Yes, he is used to the rhythm of the game in the Premier League, this is nothing new for him. You are right that AC Milan has enough time to prepare which players they will target if AC Milan does part ways with Olivier Giroud. Olivier Giroud played 21 times this season and scored 7 goals in Serie A, in the Champions League he played 7 times and contributed 4 goals.

It could have been a great decision to go to Al Nassr for Marcelo. I know a lot of people have emotional attachments to their first club.  But when you can get a huge amount of money by going to a club and you go to your boyhood club just for the feel of it, I think it is a dumb decision. I understand it was an emotional decision. But emotions are not going to get you money. What I am trying to say is, it was going to be a better decision to go to al Nassr and get a lot more money for his service.

Sunday's transfer gossip:

Liverpool's pursuit of Borussia Dortmund and England midfielder Jude Bellingham will not be harmed by their struggles this season as Champions League qualification is not a deal-breaker for the 19-year-old. I'm not so sure about that. Every player wants to play in the Champions League and fight for trophies. I believe that there is still a greater chance that Bellingham will go to Real as a replacement for the aging Modric.
Croatia midfielder Marcelo Brozovic could be sold by Inter Milan in the summer, with Barcelona, Chelsea and Real Madrid interested in the 30-year-old. It seems to me that Inter is making the same mistake as they did with Perisic, and that they will only be aware of the kind of player they let in later. For Brozovic, this is the last chance to make a career transfer.
Paris St-Germain could let at least one of Argentina forward Lionel Messi, 35, France striker Kylian Mbappe, 24, and Brazil forward Neymar, 31, leave the club in the summer as the club looks to reduce its wage bill because of Uefa financial fair play. Who among them is the biggest candidate to leave? It seems to me that PSG would prefer to get rid of Neymar 
AC Milan and France striker Olivier Giroud is open to a move back to the Premier League with London sides West Ham, Fulham, Crystal Palace and Brentford all potential destinations for the 36-year-old. Lots of interested clubs for this great player. What Giroud will decide in the end?

All of that backfired for Chelsea to let Potter go and replace him with a new coach, that doesn't mean that all of this is a guarantee that Chelsea can complete their duties in the Premier League. Vice versa, maintaining Graham Potter is also not a guarantee of any kind. But at least Chelsea will continue to see this progress in the long term. I mean Potter has 2 or 3 games as a chance. Hasn't Chelsea been gambling from the start by taking Potter and buying expensive players who can be said to be not too dangerous while on the field. For example, Mudryk was unclear about his role at Chelsea and his performances simply did not match the price.

Liverpool are still feeling confident about signing Bellingham. They don't think they would be more disadvantageous even if they finish this season without a single title or another achievement. But I'm not thinking that Bellingham would like to join a team that even fail in qualifying for the Champions League. They are still continuing to get bad results in the league. This is just making them far away from top 4. A player like Bellingham would like to continue to be a part of the Champions League.

At that point Real Madrid would be even more advantageous to sign him. Bellingham was already prioritizing them though but the recent situation can also help him make up his mind.

I know building a team takes time but Graham potter have had lot of time to improve the team but no still good performance. Their is  no sign of Chelsea improving , that means Graham is not fit to do the job even with the players Chelsea have signed in so far.

It won't be a bad thing for both Giroud and Milan to part ways. Things come to an end. If Giroud wants to play football somewhere else then it's fine. He's already used to the EPL so it won't be a very difficult situation for him.
Milan also have a lot of time to look for a replacement since it's the summer that Giroud would be leaving. There are a lot of exciting top strikers that would love to play for Milan. They may not be as experienced as Giroud but they can deliver and that's all that matters.

It's not only crystal palace and fulham.

There will be more clubs to come.

Giroud is interesting to feel the atmosphere in the EPL again. It seems like he was deciding that after seeing how competitive EPL. He misses playing in the london. He ever became a part from Chelsea and arsenal. I would not be surprised if he will be going to the EPL again. Brentford looks very good team for him.

I think you mean they are going to fire Potter before the season ends. We know the performance of Chelsea is not good at all and they are in the middle of the table and probably they won't be even in the Europa league but still even if they fire Potter before the season end the new coach won't have enough time to do something show better performance with this team.

There's no place like home, which is why Marcelo made the right decision by returning to Fluminense. Very few football players would put their families and country ahead of their paychecks. And since he can still play effectively at a high level, he should return to the team where he first made his mark. I believe Marcelo's devotion to Fluminense will inspire him to give his all every game and motivate other players to do the same. I wish you the best of luck, Marcelo, as you continue your football career

With his condition that he didn't have a club at that time receiving offers from any club would definitely be his priority no longer choosing which one would make a good offer, and Al Nassr wanted it to be just a rumor and Fluminese were serious about making an offer and he accepted it and with his age the option would be very limited is not the same as when young.

There was a rumour that Olivier Giroud has refuse contract extension from AC Milan and it didn't mentioned the reason why he don't want to extended his contract with Milan but there is a speculate he will open the possibilities return to England and Giroud priority is London teams and if this rumour is true i think it's not difficult for him to find new clubs because some of premier league clubs such as Crystal Palace and Fulham were interested to him
On the other hand this would be big lost for Milan if losing him this summer because compared to other Milan forward players only Giroud who can able to playing consistent

Even until the end of this season, Potter's chances are pretty low. He was also subjected to a lot of criticism when he was chosen as coach. It seems they are right. Graham Potter isn't good enough to lead a team of this level. Another top manager will need to restructure Chelsea. Just as Ten Hag was successful at Manchester United, a European coach can come to Chelsea in the same way.

Even though Chelsea should be able to bring in a new coach who is not currently managing any club like Pochetino, Zidane, and of course the former coach Thomas Tuchel is still open. But it seems that if they wanted to bring in Tuchel, of course Chelsea would be embarrassed because they had sacked him. But even so, if this is allowed to continue, Chelsea's fate could get worse at the end of the season if they keep Graham Potter.

Actually, Lionel Messi is still able to perform at the top. Personally, I would like to see him one more year at the top. But if he decides to give rest to his body, that's up to him.

Joao Felix should go to Atletico Madrid in my opinion. It is not going to be a good idea to stay in Chelsea. He is already not playing very well in Chelsea. And at the same time, Chelsea is going through a big overhaul. I think it will be the right decision to move to Atletico Madrid.

@Daniel91, Brazil is a young squad. I think with that squad Carlo Ancelotti could have been the better one.

Now I can understand for footballers to return to their home country when they are closest to quitting football.  They played away from their country for years and missed their country very much.  Before leaving football, they may want to go to a team of their country for a few years and breathe that atmosphere again.  Marcelo's decision should be exactly like this.  Al Nassr wanted to sign him and he could go to that team and make good money.

Anthony can be more useful I guess when he comes frommthe bench I don't entertain the idea of starting Anthony
Garnacho can be a very useful weapon but newcastle will be so much of a stubborn side today
United fans better hope this is a strategy for united so newcastle will not plan for Rashford

I already know that Chelsea is looking for a long term solution and not a short-term solution. This is the reason why players like Aubameyang are not giving future in the club. Meanwhile the Chelsea management has assured Potter of their continued support in this trying period of his career.

In my opinion I think Ganacho is in a better position to fill in for injured Rashford, Garnacho has been playing from the left flank this season and have been impressive too in that position. He should be the one to replace Rashford in the left wing position. Rashford's absence will definitely have a negative impact on the team's performance but I am confident Erik Ten Hag deals with this setback.
