Emi Martinez 'will be made available for summer transfer exit, the defeat to Arsenal where he made a fatal mistake especially for Arsenal's fourth goal which made Villa look very bad at that time was the trigger but I suspect his inappropriate celebration during the World Cup victory celebrations also became one of the triggers why he will not be retained by Aston Villa https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/21461435/emi-martinez-aston-villa-summer-transfer-unai-emery/
It seems that even if a big club wanted to sign Emi Martinez, most of them would doubt it because he only performed well in the 2022 world cup, while for the club he didn't perform well enough. Speaking of league competition, of course, every club needs a goalkeeper who plays very well and is also consistent in every season, while for international competition it seems that this is not a good enough benchmark for each club to go through all the matches in every season.
We know very well about that, but actually if we look at the statistics at the World Cup, the Croatian goalkeeper is far superior than Martinez, it's just that Argentina's success in winning the World Cup is one of the reasons why he got the golden glove.

I read in the local media that Ronaldo advised the management from Al Nassr to sign Marcelo, his team-mate at Real Madrid, who currently doesn't have a club, and the Saudi Pro League would be the best place to earn big money.

So indeed winning the world cup and getting the golden glove cannot guarantee that his career will get attractive offers from Europe's top clubs. About Marcelo's rumors I have heard about it and it looks like it will come true he will reunite with his best friend Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr.



Source: Transfermarkt

But not only that, reportedly Al-Nassr is also interested in signing Wilfred Zaha from Crystal Palace this summer. We know he is a pretty good player from last season to now, I think Al-Nassr is very serious about signing some players who are in Europe at the moment.

I don't think there is hope on Potter doing well,for half a season and we can't tell how he wants to play,directly opposite of what he plays in Brighton.when Tuchel came his first game you could see what he wants to do,the system he employs,with arteta at arsenal is the same,iven if result were not going his way,but you could see how they play,notably against city iven if they lost that  game that season..Potter is not just the right man for the job,and Todd should cut his lost and just hire a new manager.
Conditions are still very bad for Potter now but that doesn't mean he is hopeless because indeed there is still hope with the players' current condition it's just that this is very difficult and it is indeed impossible for them to return to their ideal position.
Even so they still have to deal with all conditions now because just blaming Potter also doesn't have any effect in my opinion and it's also not very useful because it doesn't make them better.
Iven in all this play,I watch every chelsea game,and if you follow up closely you will see,that the team practically just play what comes to mind,no tactics..you watch arteta,pep,tuchel on the sideline and one can see when a play makes a mistake or do not go according to plan,the coach corrects them immediately on the field.but potter does not do that,we can't rely on individual skill to win a match,or pray for corner kick to score..there is no magic there,of you play well you will score,and for that you have to play as a team..Porter is not doing enough..I remember the days of lampard,hardly a match chelsea does not score atleast 2 goals..thou they will conceed as well but they are scoring.

It has been mentioned even in some reliable media if kante is very very close to extend his contract with chelsea. Im so glad that chelsea was not letting him to go out from the club caused by he was a very important asset for chelsea. Kante's contribution is a lot for the club since he was coming to the chelsea. Kante has been winning so many trophies with chelsea too.

Chelsea streamlined their work a lot in this transfer window, as he did not have an interesting level in their "cast" and the injuries of some important players were also a concern.

Fortunately, Kanté is returning to training after the serious injury he suffered and even with his contract ending in June, it's practically certain (as far as I've read too) that he will renew it.
The player, in fact, has the possibility of signing a pre-contract with any club in the world, being able to leave for free at the end of his contract with Chelsea, but it seems to me that this is not what he wants.

I feared that the strong rumors about Chelsea not being interested in renewing Kanté, due to the fact that there had been some disagreements in the negotiations, such as mainly the time of the new contract, in which they did not want a very long contract, due to the injuries that the midfielder had over those years.

But apparently everything is resolved and good news should be officially announced soon.

I hope so. Kante has become a very good player that has ever owned by chelsea. UCL, World cup, Europa league and so many trophies already won by kante. That will be a big mistake if chelsea didn't extend his contract as kante was putting chelsea at the top of everything.

Kante has been achieving so many achievements since he was coming to the chelsea. Kante has been achieving all of his dreams in chelsea.
I think that kante shall take a few minutes to play in the match against totenham. Kante's hamstring injury may be fully recovered very soon. I think that could be one of reason why chelsea wanna extend his contract.

Kante has finally recovered from his injury and the biggest question is about what he will do with his future from now on.

Because Chelsea still haven't extended his contract and it expires this summer. If they still have an intention to keep him for longer then they had better be quick about their contract talks. Otherwise there are already some big teams being speculated to go for him soon. Kante has had a lasting injury indeed but we don't know how good he will perform yet. Maybe he won't lose much of his usual performance who knows. I don't think he is too old now either - 31. I think he deserves some chances at Chelsea to see what he will do.

You shall not worry about that. Kante was putting chelsea as the top of his choice. Kante has been waiting for the new contract and he is very close to extend it right now.

I don't think that only Manchester United and Chelsea are interested in signing Osimhen these days. There are more big teams to have this interest in him to sign. He is even leaving his team to decide upon what to do this summer. Napoli would like to keep him longer as a result of course. Why would they want to lose their most important play that easy?

Or maybe they would be ready for that only if they can get a high amount of transfer fee for him.

Not sure if they will fire Graham Potter this season, we all know Chelsea could perform well and they are spending lots of money after spending these huge amounts of money they obviously expect to get good results from the league while so far most of the fans are unhappy and I guess they are going to find a new coach to replace with Potter because they have enough money for it but still Potter won't leave Chelsea before this season ends.
In the previous five matches, Chelsea seemed to have only won one victory, and that was a very bad achievement for this season. Chelsea could not compete in third place from the top of the table, and Thomas Tuchel is still the best coach because he is longer and has a history of setting records for Chelsea's achievements in 2020-2021. Hopefully Chelsea will find a coach who can bring progress and victory in the next few seasons that Chelsea will follow.

Some clubs are already interested in Osimhen since several months ago. We can understand if they are interested in Osimhen because Osimhen is one of the most productive strikers in the world now. With Osimhen's contribution, Napoli can stay in the 1st place of Serie A table. He also played very well in UCL and helps Napoli to qualify to the next round. These are a few reason why some big clubs want to sign him.

I think Napoli won't sell Osimhen, they will be difficult to get the replacement if Osimhen leaves. So, I assume that Napoli prefers to keep Osimhen than expects big money by selling him. Osimhen is irreplacebale for Napoli, he is the key player in Napoli attacking line.



He is without no doubts the best football player in the world currently if you have to talk about scoring goals, regardless of all that, he will never get the praises he deserves because he's black. Victor Oshime is not just a goal scorer but a team player, he does deserves the the Ballon d'or really. Have you considered to check his work rate ?

They'll sell him and even if they refuse to, he should want to try other big boys and win other titles, he will surely get what he desires but I honestly prays it's not Manchester United before they go on with them british familiarity.

He deserves a club that will protect him ( the fans ) just as they ( Manchester United fans loves Cristiano Ronaldo )

https://www.espn.co.uk/football/soccer-transfers/story/4883573/man-united-not-planning-big-summer-spend-even-if-qatari-bid-successful-sources

ESPN says that Manchester United might not spend a great deal of money on transfers in the summer even if the Qatari takeover bid is successful. This isn't good news for the team at all. Because I think they have definitely had big plans for the summer. Because the team have started to gather themselves up after building a solid chemistry with Erik ten Hag. They are technically in the title race in the EPL as well. After all this I think they should definitely strengthen the team even more. The news have been saying that they have had plans to sign a top striker for example.

Maybe this is just a rumour because it doesn't make sense to me. They should at least sign a solid striker. Weghorst doesn't contribute much and his loan will end by the summer as well.

I don't think Chelsea will achieve anything with Potter. He looks like the kind of coach that cannot deliver on a big team. It is Potters fault Chelsea are doing so poorly, I say this because Chelsea don't create a lot of chances and when a team don't create chances it is the fault of the coach. There are still some positions that needs fixing in Chelsea but that is no excuse for how poor they're performing. They should be able to least win bottom table teams. If I were Chelsea I would sack him this season so the new manager would have time with the players.

Ronaldinho's son, Joao Mendes (17 yo) is set to sign with Barcelona's youth team. There are no game statistics from the previous club Cruzeiro. Not much information about him, I tried to find his appearance on Youtube, and found this video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hK2Bm9a5QBQ

Is it possible that Joao Mendes will be able to compete with other Barcelona players as a starting XI, or will he be loaned out more often than played with Barcelona? What do you think?
It feels good to see the son of one of the club legends following his father’s footsteps. I’m sure he will succeed in the Barcelona youth team same way Ronaldinho did. I also haven't seen any of Joao Mendes video clips but I assume his father's reputation should have some impact and evidence on him. We will see how well he will be able to adapt and fight his way into the first eleven if he signs.

Leeds United have announced Javi Gracia as their new manager. I think it’s a decent appointment. He did well at Watford then unfairly treated like most temporary managers there. He led them to an FA Cup final and their best Premier League season. He took over Watford in a much better position than what Leeds are in now which might make his job even more challenging. But he could still do well as Leeds have some good players who might suit his style of play. I'd like to see Leeds stay up.
The club has finally taken a bold decision to change the current manager and Javi Garcia luckily emerged ad favourite for the job. I hope he will be able to deliver and bring Leeds out of tight corners, he had a good run at Watford, it is expected that he will do same at Leeds now.

I just have the impression that Graham Potter has a strong relationship with the new Chelsea owner; coaches don't last long at Chelsea when they don't produce good results when they are most needed. If the management still believes Graham Potter can help the team improve, he needs to act quickly. The club cannot thrive like others by hoping, rather it needs quick action and fix. Hopefully, he'll find a way out before the season ends.

If Chelsea lets Kante go now, I will be disappointed in the team. Kante, of all people, has contributed to the success of Chelsea since his arrival. He's a very good midfielder who can't be let go when he's in good form and ready for any game. He's needed in that midfield, I'm not sure how, but his presence will undoubtedly make a difference. I hope the club thinks about extending his contract and keeping him around for a while.

Victor Osimhen has scored for the Parthenopeans in each of their games this season, which is his finest run yet. He has Luciano Spalleti's full support as the club's leading scorer this year, and there is no doubt about it. He is an important player for the team with years of experience playing as a striker. In addition to him, his teammates support the striker from Nigeria. With favorable topping points from their opponents, Napoli is in first place on the table. The club's first aim is winning the scudetto, and the second priority is lifting the champions league title which seems like a complex task for the club. The coach will bring in new players to replace any injured key players.

several big clubs have begun to show interest in this Napoli sticker. Even Manchester United is reportedly quite interested in bringing in Osimhen in the next summer window. The skyrocketing name of Osimhen this season was none other than his slick performance on the Napoli front line which was able to present goal after goal and also made him the temporary top scorer in Serie A.

Several denials have come from Napoli owner or president where he will try hard to keep Osimhen from in the next summer window. But one side is that Napoli needs a lot of money to strengthen the Club's finances. I guess that may change later if a surprise offer comes along.

I expect something to happen this Summer one way or another. I don't think that Zidane will take another year off and there are some clubs who may already be negotiating with him. It woud almost be negligent to not negotiate with him and get some feedback. He is probably in talks with Madrid, Liverpool, PSG, and Chelsea.
Zidane would have accepted to be the coach of France national team if that was offered for him but I think that wasn't the case in the first place.
Harsh words targeted him from the head of the French football federation before he gets sacked and I believe there was some tensions between them. At the same time, Deschamps still wants to be in the picture so I don't think Zidane will wait for 4 years to be selected. He will most likely move and chose a team to train. Maybe Liverpool? Chelsea? Back to Real Madrid with Mbappe in his side? PSG maybe?

Zidane would be a great choice for any club for many reasons. If he really decides to go back to Real Madrid once more, Real Madrid also knows that the chance that Mbappe then decides to leave PSG becomes much bigger. At the moment the French national team is so strong and has world class players in so many different clubs that signing Zidane would also open the door to signing a couple of other great French players. But is he really wanting to do Real Madrid again? I think for him it is the same, if Mbappe would agree and Real sees a way to actually finance the transfer, who knows maybe we get to see another engagement of Zidane with Real Madrid. But given the outrageous numbers of Mbappe's current contracts, I don't know whether that's even possible. But maybe Mbappe does have one special clause in his contract that the public doesn't know about.

Victor osimhe,at the moment is one of the hotest striker in Europe,no surprising that he has been in the news lately on transfer rumour.Napoli chief have also voiced he could leave with good money on the table,thou I think it is still too early for him to move to England,not to forget that one of osimhe secrete this season has been his partnership with kvaratskhelia,who is the creator in that team,wonder if he could achieve great feat else were with limited supply.
Man, let me tell you, Victor Osimhen is straight up one of the hottest strikers in all of Europe right now. No cap, he's been making headlines left and right with all these transfer rumors flying around. Personally, I don't think he's quite ready for the cut-throat competition in England, but hey, that's just me. It's no secret that his partnership with Kvaratskhelia has been clutch for his recent success, but the boy's got skills for days. He don't even need a top-class playmaker to shine, just look at how he did with Insigne last season. And don't forget, he was tearing it up in Ligue 1 before he moved to Serie A. I ain't worried, he'll ball out in the EPL if some smart club scoops him up. I'm hype to see how this summer transfer window plays out and who's gonna lock down Osimhen.

Mourinho has been eager to go back to Chelsea according to speculations. But I'm not sure if he can make this team better. I don't like his style much when he adopts a cautious game after getting ahead in a match.
I honestly doubt that a third stint/spell for Mou in Chelsea is possible, after his first spell as Chelsea boss from 2004-2007, and with the trophies he won at the club, he was adored by the fans, they loved him, and that gave him the opportunity to return again as head coach from 2013-2015, and even though he won another EPL title in his second spell as manager, he didn't quite leave on good terms with the fans and the Chelsea board (though it's a different hierarchy right now).

Having said that, remember that afterwards Mou has coached both Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, both of which are Chelsea's rivals, and if i remember correctly he had somewhat of a clash with the fans when he returned to Stamford Bridge as Manchester United's manager, all of these makes it quite difficult for him to come back to the club. Anyway Mourinho is currently enjoying his time at Roma, and i think if he is to move from Italy, he would prolly go and coach PSG.

Yeah actually I would also like to see Mourinho continuing to manage Roma as long as they have a decent run in the Serie A. Now things are going on quite good for them as for their chance to qualify for the Champions League. If they manage to make it there then I don't think Roma would like to lose Mourinho to any team either. But there is still time for the end of the season and it is early to be sure of something.

I don't know if PSG would prioritize Mourinho in case they sack Galtier at the end of the season. Maybe they would prefer a manager who likes to play more offensive considering the trio on the front.

Apart from that, we also know that Rudiger's contract at Madrid is still quite long because he has only had half a season at the moment so there is really no reason for him to leave so soon with the condition that he is a mainstay for the club.
Even though he really wants to, I don't think Madrid will let that happen because they are in a condition that can be said to be not doing well at the moment.

For Real Madrid, Rüdiger is an important player and a newcomer to the team.  We will still watch many matches with Real Madrid jersey.  I also think it's successful.  I don't think Real Madrid will let him go easily.  If Anthony Rüdiger wants to leave the team, of course, this may change.  I honestly think this possibility is unrealistic.
Actually there is no reason for Rudiger to leave because indeed he has also got what he wanted by becoming a player who has never been replaced in Madrid's defense to date.
I think for a player like Rudiger who always spends the same contract as he did at Chelsea this is bound to happen at Madrid too.
He'll be here until his contract expires and that's definitely a few more seasons because he's also on a long-term contract.
