Starting from the front line to the back line, Manchester City has a very outstanding squad including players who are on the bench have the same quality as the main squad. They sold Sterling, but the position will be filled by players who are just as great as Raheem Sterling.

Chelsea last season was hit by several problems that had an effect on the team. Their front line is also a failure in my opinion. Sterling's presence next season in Chelsea's attacking line will be Tuchel's solution when it comes to goalscorers.
That's why I said Chelsea must strengthen the defensive line to stem the strong attacks of opponents such as Manchester City and Liverpool in the Premier League.

True, Sterling will be the first option for Tuchel since Werner was very underperform last season, I really thought Werner will kill it last season since he plays very well on the previous season but maybe because the pandemic break something happened to him. And for the defense, and let's just wish Koulibaly can adapt quickly, the leaving of Rudiger will hugely will make a big hole in Chelsea's defense

The new owner of the team, Todd Boehly, has made his first signing for the team and it is Raheem Sterling. They didn't have a natural left winger in the team so this is a great transfer for them. Sterling is a very skilled player and his contribution to Manchester City so far has been really significant. I don't expect him to have any adaptation problem to his new team. Chelsea like to play fast and Sterling would like this a lot. He can do a great job by goals and assists both.

Actually I'm not so sure that Chelsea will be able to compete with Manchester City and Liverpool next season. The previous season they could actually compete, but towards the end of the league they couldn't be consistent and in the end they had to be knocked out of the competition.
Next season I see that Chelsea will be slightly below Manchester City and Liverpool.
Chelsea's efforts in strengthening the team amazed me even though they haven't gotten some of the players they want. It's only Raheem Sterling that they've gotten and Chelsea keep moving to get a tough defender. Of course, their efforts are a real form that Chelsea are very serious about the title fight.

Someone not being sure of a team in competing for the title for me is not a problem, but I am sure that if a team that someone like Chelsea does not believe in that will not be able to compete with Manchester City and Liverpool in the title race, I think that is wrong.

Leicester City have already proved it.

Ousmane Dembele has signed a new two-year contract with Barcelona to remain at the Camp Nou, Ousmane Dembele's contract with Barcelona expires at the end of June, but the winger has agreed a two-year new contract.
Although Barca had insisted that Dembele will be sold or released on a free transfer at the conclusion of the season after the winger rejected a contract extension, Barca on Thursday made it official that Dembele will stay with the Catalan.

Dembele wanted to leave initially because he actually thought the club had no ambition,and was ready to force through a move to another club,but it is now very clear that due to some players that Xavi have signed,the player was now very keen to extend his contract at the club.This is  a very good news for Barca and for Barca fans because indeed Dembele is a good player that the club never wanted to let go.
which must be given appreciation to the club management. Even though they are in poor financial condition, they are still trying to bring in some players with the given negotiations.
I think Xavi will be quite happy with the arrival of some players in his squad. now he just needs to think of the right strategy for a player with the midfield strength that Barca is used to showing.

The latest speculation surrounding Ronaldo involves crazy money - even for a world-famous footballer.

Apparently, a club in Saudi Arabia have offered him €300 million (that's £254 million) to play for them for two seasons... so roughly 100 weeks in two years, that works out as €3 million a week.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articles/cv26xqywgrno

If true, I suppose a lot of this is due to the publicity and sales it will generate for the club, rather than a measure of what he could offer on the pitch (particularly as he'd be 39 by the end of the contract). Even so though, it's quite an astonishing offer.

I was just going to talk about this rumour. It is an enormous deal and this kind of teams don't see it a big deal to pay fantastic amount of money for a star footballer. However I don't expect Ronaldo to take this deal and go. Because his wish is to be able to compete in the Champions League. This Saudi team can't give this to him. Ronaldo has no problem with money also and he is still very ambitious about winning big titles. Therefore I expect him to reject this offer.

Chelsea must manage to convince one of the defenders rumored to be bought by them such as Kimpembe and Koulibaly. If the two defenders are successfully obtained, then next season Chelsea can be said to be the team that has the opportunity to win the trophy from Manchester City considering that Chelsea's front line is already very good with the arrival of Raheem Sterling.
Obviously it will be very good for Chelsea and I am sure that Chelsea will try to convince one of the two so that Chelsea can be even stronger next season and will be tough competitors for all teams in the Premier League in terms of trophies. Because Manchester City's line of players is also very complete now with the arrival of several new players who are no less great than the others and that will make the game even more exciting next season.

Koulibaly is an admired defender, he was one of the most important players for the team while playing for Napoli. I'm sure he can be successful at Chelsea too, he can win the champions league with this team. Chelsea spend a lot of money, but they make a good team.
There has been talk that Napoli will also get Kim Min-Jae. There will be a player they can substitute for Koulibaly Smiley
Are we seeing a replacement for Rüidiger already.  Koulibaly is more than a complete defender and having him in Chelsea's squad next season will strengthen the club and keep them fit to compete in the Champions league next season and also stand tall on the league. The money spent is worth it. Antonio Rüidigers absence might not be felt much once Koulibaly deal is sealed. This will obviously be a long term contract....
Kalidou Koulibaly is indeed a competent center-back, so he could potentially give his best for Chelsea (if the deal happens). However, there are things that need to be underlined, Serie A and Premier League have quite different game characteristics, which means Kalidou Koulibaly has to adapt first to find his best performance and it could take a lot of time, or maybe it won't work at all  Grin.

Koulibaly flew to England and tomorrow will do medical with Chelsea.
Yes, it is official already. I read on Fabrizio Romano's tweet, he said Koulibaly moves to Chelsea. It is a great deal for Chelsea, they finally can get a replacement for Rudiger. It is very important to have another strong center-back like Koulibaly since Chelsea only has Thiago Silva as a top CB right now. Having Koulibaly in the Chelsea squad has fixed the problem in the defense line. I really appreciate Chelsea scout that can sign Koulibaly although he is the key player in Napoli.

In last few days too much news about Chelsea in transfer window is having some good impact because now they are working on defense and now having player like Koulibaly is surely going to fit in this place after Rudiger is already gone with few bad news like Raphinha is heading for Barcelona, and now they are also in for Robert Lewandowski which may be also not going into their favor.

But, Koulibaly and working on Nathan Ake is surely good for them and their future system which is going to be tough for their challengers because Raheem Sterling is also another exciting signing for them and with player like this they are surely having strong squad in Premier League.

Raheem Sterling to Chelsea has to be one of the biggest transfers of this window. I mean, Chelsea are getting a wonderful player for the right amount and at the right time, if you put into consideration how old Sterling is, you'd understand that Chelsea now have him at his peak, even in his goodbye message to the City supporters, he said he is leaving the Etihad as a 'man', whilst he came as a 'boy'. Tuchel really went for this, and that can only mean he has got plans in his head on how he is going to deploy Raheem Sterling next season.

As a City fan it's actually sad to see Sterling go, but we just have to accept it, in the last two seasons he has not been a regular starter in the team as he used to be, and now we signed Haaland and Alvarez, i am pretty sure Sterling knew this was the right time to move elsewhere, somewhere he will play more regularly, and in a very big team as well. Goodluck to Raheem in Stamford Bridge, of course except when he is playing against City, Lol.
I admire Chelsea for strengthening. I must say Raheem Sterling did so much for the club and leaves as a true standout. Rarely got the credit he deserved. Raheem Sterling has his impact on game play, a great one at that. I still couldn't understand what happened when he saw most matches on the bench over the recent past. Maybe it’s squad rotation. If only Tuchel could get Sterling's spark back on, then he'll surely make a very fine signing for Chelsea.

One down, two more defenders to go, probably Kimpembe or Koulibaly and then Ake. Let's not sign all three as that'll not give playings time to Levi Colwill and he's one of the younglings I'll love Tuchel to give a chance to. Look how giving Trevoh Chalobah, James etc some opportunity to prove themselves played out, Colwill should also be given same opportunity or we'll reject just as we have in the past since we're known for letting our young talents leave the club or go on loans.

Let's get it done with the defense quickly so some attention can be given to the attack. Yes we have secured sterling but is that enough to compete with Liverpool and Manchurian city for the title, not yet. We need a striker or better alternative to our current attacking force assuming we'll be using Havertz as a false 9 next season.
Levi Colwill is already in Thomas Tuchel's planning next season. Levi Colwill should not be played in the major leagues right away. In my opinion, the 19-year-old should be played in other tournaments such as the FA CUP and Carabao Cup to get regular playing minutes in order to gain experience like Thomas Tuchel did on Chalobah.

Chelsea must manage to convince one of the defenders rumored to be bought by them such as Kimpembe and Koulibaly.

What's the point of De Jong being in Barcelona if the team is after salary reduction and looking actively to sell him? I get that he wants to stay, but if they do not want him to stay, forcing them to keep him wouldn't really make his life better.

Look at what happened to Bale, he was a great player who just didn't wanted by his team and because he had a huge salary, he didn't get any playing time in order to be convinced of leaving, and he didn't because he wanted that money and couldn't get it anywhere else. In return, he wasn't played, and basically kept off the roster and now he is not a player he used to be and not wanted as much by other clubs neither.

Almost every team in the Premier League continues to try to strengthen the squad. Chelsea has signed Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly. Chelsea has spent around 40 million to sign this Napoli defender. Chelsea has a lot of money. They are trying their best to strengthen the team now. Thomas Tuchel is probably looking to win one more Champions League title. But in addition to strengthening the defense, I think Chelsea also needs to strengthen Forward.
In this case, it is clear that Chelsea's transfer has made those who were originally passive now quite active.
they have signed several players including 2 brilliant transfers Sterling and Ake.
For the previous few weeks I wasn't really sure about Chelsea considering they always let players go including their defenders.
But maybe now there is a little gap for them to be able to maintain the top 3 position next season.

Goodluck to Raheem in Stamford Bridge, of course except when he is playing against City, Lol.

Shall we do wait to see how it goes down, it's a very good move especially for someone who had lesser games to play. How many goal can he give Chelsea? All time at Manchester City, he never scored Manchester United for once, maybe he will finally get a goal against Manchester United ? Lol. I'm happy for him but that's what we're rival's for I wish him the best but hopefully he doesn't get a goal against Manchester United.

Asides all said earlier, He (Sterling ) is a bit of a selfish player hope he doesn't takes that to Chelsea FC. With Sterling on the Left Flank, Harvertz would be on the right. Getting all the defender's and not get a clinical finisher is almost detrimental ahead of the new season.
Can we see Timo Werner get more of those appearance ?
