I don't know why the Spanish National team management are being so quick to do away with Ramos, first it was Luis Enrique not including him in their 2022 WC squad, a decision that came as a surprise to many people, including me, because imo Ramos is still playing at a high level in PSG. In his retirement message today he claimed he was called by the new manager who told him he wasn't part of his plans, thus it is basically clear they pushed him out of the team and forced him into this retirement, what boggles me is that Spain do not even really have too many solid defenders, in the WC they had to convert Rodri who is a defensive midfielder into the heart of defense.

Having said that, i wish Ramos a good retirement, he can now focus entirely on his club football, and work towards achieving success with his club PSG, he has already won it all with the national team, so he can retire with contentment.

Liverpool are also joining the race for signing Gvardiol as it seems. It would be for their benefit actually because there is an obvious problem in their defense line. After conceding 5 goals against Real Madrid in a very easy way this problem is even more realized now. Gvardiol would be an amazing choice of a centre-back for them as well.

Because Gvardiol is playing really effectively as a defender despite his very young age. He is a rare talent in my opinion. He played a big role against Manchester City by scoring the equalizer as well.

Plus he's been out injured for quite a while now which makes it a bit tricky in my opinion for Kante.
Previously he had experienced a good period until his performance slowly decreased. but with the addition of his current injuries making it even more difficult for him to come back and pick up where he is now.
Although this is still a matter of speculation because we still haven't seen much of his form this season but still a long injury will affect his performance later on the field because he has to get used to it.

Kante staying at Chelsea would be a good deal for them. Even if they do not really want him, if they could sign him and then sell him, that would be better than getting rid of him for free. Not saying they will sell him, of course they may not end up doing that, but they could, having that possibility is a lot better. Plus, if he is not injured and he plays then he could provide so much for the team.

We have seen how they have been without him so far, and they are playing quite terribly at this moment. Even great players in the club end up playing terribly for some reason, and I am guessing that adding Kante, who grinds a lot and doesn't play badly that often, could help them a lot.

Due not any extended contract reach with PSG and become free agent player on the next season seems potential for Xavi bring back Lionel Messi to camp nou, but I don't Barcelona's financial is ready to sign in Lionel Messi as new player for next season, seems excited with Lionel Messi's future on PSG, will extended or looking for new challenge with another team .

Potential for Lionel Messi's get 50% salary cut off if want return back with Barcelona, but I don't think he will agree because he want priority with the highest salary received from PSG, has Manchester City or Saudi Arabia pro  League team excited to sig in and bring him there become compete for Cristiano Ronaldo.

According to the source below, Xavi is quite willing to see Messi back at Barcelona and he is in contact with him regularly.

I was having my doubts about a possible return while Barcelona were in a bad financial condition. They have spent quite much money and become in more debt as a result. The financial fair-play rules are also hindering them from doing whatever they would like as well in the end. One time they got close to signing him back after he was free agent but they couldn't even meet the half-cut version of Messi's salary. From now on I think maybe he would return right before he retires.

Everything is possible if there is a higher offer, of course later Osimhen's market price will rise again if his performance continues to improve and indeed if he plays for a big club then it is likely that his salary will also increase more than Napoli and of course Osimhen himself will decide if a team definitely wants to profit from every sale of its players.

I think in the summer there will be a lot of temptations for Victor Osimhen maybe at the moment he said he will stay with Napoli because he has been successful here whereas big clubs have been after him for a long time there is a possibility of a change later where Victor Osimhen can make the right choice and play in the league super tight for example the Premier League.

Sergio Ramos announces his retirement from international football. He made over 180 appearances for the Spanish National team with the all-time record  over the course of a career that stretched over 17 years and saw him win two European Championships and lift the World Cup in 2010. He’s contributed his Quota during his time. Indeed he is brilliant defender with top strikers heart. Scoring over 100 goals a fit very many midfielders and strikers could not do. Ramos, a true legendary. One of the best defenders in the world. By not being in the last world cup, his team lost early.

Rumors related to Osimhen were already circulating at the start of the transfer market last season, the striker from Napoli has always been linked with several big clubs. natural, because after all, Oshimen has proven his sharpness with Napoli, and his role has become very vital. at least, Osimhen has contributed 18 goals with Napoli in the Serie A competition.

The impressive performance shown by Victor Osimhen has become a bone of contention for many European clubs in the transfer market next summer. not only Chelsea, or Real Madrid, but the frontrunners to bring him in are Manchester United. The Red Devil's interest is at the forefront of bringing him to Old Trafford.

According to rumors, the President of Napoli will reveal the fate of Victor Osimhen in the transfer market this summer. Aurelio De Laurentiis has hinted that Napoli are willing to let Osimhen go if a club is interested at a high price. Despite all that, I'm pretty sure, Osimhen's career will shine even more if he is willing to play in the Premier League and the club he is most compatible with is Manchester United.

Kante has been instrumental for Chelsea but that was 1-2 years ago. Now with injury a club has to look out for options. First thing is that they can't keep a player who gets injured easily when they are playing at a stage where they have to play CL, PL and other cup games and everything is crucial for them.  So it's usually coach and board's call and how they see it. Right now they have lot of players in Kante's position so they might be thinking of dropping a few. I don't think they will try to get midfielders now if they think Kante is important. If they make a big move for defensive midfielder then I think there is no future for Kante then. He will be losing lot of his game time and has to part his ways with the club eventually.

About Mount's future, he is a good attacking midfielder and can adapt to lot of positions but right now Potter has many options so I don't think he is getting considered for the regular lineup. During the time of Tuchel, Tuchel used two attacking midfielders but Potter uses wingers instead of midfielders so there is no chance of pure attacking midfielders to find a role in Potter's formation unless they are good at certain roles. So unless Potter changes his tactic a bit and try incuding an attacking midfielder, I don't see Mount getting chances as he would want. Now Chelsea board has put their trust on Potter for a long term so let's see how long Mount handles this situation. Likely scenario is that he might leave.

Victor Osimhen's future doesn't rest on only Napoli's hands, the player might also decide to leave and the club would not want to force a player to stay with them, that could make him unhappy and would inevitably affect his performances. The issue of big and rich teams pricing away players from small and mid clubs has always been a big problem. It is very difficult to keep a player that most big European clubs are chasing, even if you manage to keep such a player, it won't be for too long.

Having said that, i know it would be very difficult for Napoli to keep Osimhen in the summer, he is definitely going to attract a lot of attention from the bigger clubs in Europe, clubs like Manchester United, Real Madrid and some others. Sometimes when the money on the table is quite big and the player is willing to go, then the club would have no choice but to release the player.

Osimhen is really a player who really contributed to the slick game displayed by Napoli, so it's no wonder that he is in great demand by many of the top teams in Europe. This player's contract with Napoli will expire in 2025, I think the decision is now in Napoli's hands, if they are willing to let go of a player who has a positive impact on the team, then signing with another team can happen. But if Napoli wants to keep this player, then maybe we will see him with Napoli until the end of his contract.

Without much arguments he has been one of the most valuable and important players for Chelsea, from helping Antonio Conte winning the FA Cup and also the English Premier League with Antonio Conte down to Sarri, though, Sarri played him off position which contributed to his injuries. With Lampard he had injury problems but when fit was very useful for the team. I think Thomas Tuchel had the best of him really as he bossed the midfied when Chelsea faced Real Madrid during the Champions League.

He doesn't deserve more than a year contract because it seems like Chelsea would be down for the deal of Declan Rice of West Ham United.

Mason demanding such is very Insulting, he's just been Chelsea best player of the season ans hasn't given up to twenty plus assistance in the Premier League. Hes just over hyped. No club would want to get him for that.

the truth is that assuming Kante is not old he would have recovered from his injury very quickly. The more older players become the more difficult it takes for them to recover from injury. Kante has played good football in Southampton and also in Chelsea and he is in no doubt one of the best midfielders that English Premier League has recorded in recent time but I think he has taken very much time to recover from injury which is one of the problems of Chelsea and this would affect his position in the club

It's too soon to start talking about Kante's age he is just 31 however that's true that he is usually not showing any good performance in Chelsea because he is injured most of the time. but still, he got enough experience to feed Chelsea and he is an important player for this team even if they start finding a replacement for him because of his situation It's better to invest in young players instead of buying another player above 30 years old who can bring same problems to the team.

You are talking about Abramovich actually. But Todd Boehly who is the current chairman is also a very rich person. They have an incredible amount of transfer budget in their hands now and they have already spent a lot of money for some talented players. I think they will continue to strengthen the squad with new transfers as well. The summer transfer window should be quite active for them. I don't think Boehly would refrain from spending a lot of more money either.

He looks like he is ready to do whatever it takes for the team to be more successful. For example we might see them bringing a much better manager than Potter by making a solid contract as well just as they did with Potter.

Kante is a has been a very important player in the Chelsea team. He has been instrumental to some of the success stories of Chelsea. His performance have not declined but age and injuries is really affecting him negatively. I think Kante might have up to two to three years fruitful active football years ahead. It will be good if Chelsea renew his contract because his strength and experience is hard to find in the transfer market. Chelsea's poor performance can be linked to his absence.

Mason currently has some competitors in the Chelsea team. His is a good players but I think he is overestimating himself. He wants to earn £300,000 while the club is willing to pay £200,000. The 23years old Englishman might consider going to any club that can afford his wage bill. With Chelsea's current poor run, Mason might decide to move to another club. Chelsea has many replacement for him if he decides to leave. But age is still on his side because he is still young,  it is possible that he could be another case of Kevin De Bruyne.

If he did stay at Wolfsburg I am pretty sure that he wouldn't have turned out to be a great player like he is right now. The performance of a player can vary from club to club, team to team. So we can never say that the performance would have been the same if he had stayed in Wolfsburg. And I do not think that Wolfsburg should be feeling some way about it. Because at that moment he was not performing for Wolfsburg. So they sold him. And at that time I don't think anyone would have complained about the money they sold him for.

How the tables have turned!

The arrival Ronaldo to Al-Nassr could give positive impact for Arabian League because european players seems starting to interested to playing at there and reported Wilfred Zaha has get an offers from 3 Arabian teams Al Nassr, Al Hilal, and Al Ittihad but he haven't decided yet which team will he choose and besides that rumour too Milan want to signing Zaha but they have small chances to get him because Zaha want high salary which is this cannot be realized if he moved to Milan

Zaha contract will be expired this summer and actually contract extension has been discuss by Crystal Palace and Zaha but the negotiations have reached an impasse because Zaha want high salary and now it comes the offers from Arabian teams which mostly some of them will offering high payment for him and now it's simple if Zaha want money then Arabian teams could be his next destination

Chelsea has lost their investment from their chairmen because he was forced to step down because of his connections with Russia so they need to secure as many 1st team player contracts asap Kante was the most important player I think. They are probably going to lose Mason Mount and they will not get any money for it because I think his contract is expiring even if it is not expiring this season I think he will leave in the transfer window for a small amount because no one is willing to pay big on a player that is unhappy and contract expiring. Kante is a good step without Kante I do not know where Chelsea would be this season but for sure they would be doing worse then they are today.

Do you think Chelsea will invest in another player or will they try to secure their best players before they start following Mason Mount and asking for a transfer because of the recent decline of Chelsea?
