Matthijs de Ligt deal is finally over! Bayern Munich have agreed on terms with Juventus and the player both. He has landed in Munich to sign his contract. He is going to sign a 5-year contract. The deal is 70 million euros plus bonuses which are worth 10 million euros. This is actually a lower sum than I expected. It is still a huge amount of money of course. Considering that they are going to need to sign a centre-forward too they have spent a lot of money already. But their financial status must be solid still.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic adds another year at AC Milan. If he continues like this, you can soon build a statue or give him a wall with his picture in the clubhouse. His contract is extended until 2023 and Ibra is 40 years old. That is actually a high age for a goalkeeper.... but he is striker. Currently he is injured, but it does not matter. I think they gave him another year because they won the championship and because he motivates the team extremely.
It's very rare to find a player playing active football at 41, Zlatan Ibrahimovic had proved to be an exceptional and experienced player that is why AC Milan are still retaining him despite being injured and had undergone a knee surgery, he was signed by AC Milan in 2020 and help the club to win Scudetto for the first after 11 years, had it been he had not been impressive in the club they would have release on a free transfer, I believe Ronaldo wanted to follow Zlatan Ibrahimovic footsteps by playing active football as much as he can.At the age of 41, Zlatan Ibrahimović continues to perform brilliantly. Last season he also performed in 23 Serie A matches for AC Milan. But one of the reasons for bringing Zlatan Ibrahimović into the team is that when Zlatan is in the squad, the players are more confident. He is able to influence the players. And when the players are confident they can play well against any strong team. I think AC Milan decided to keep Zlatan Ibrahimović in the team again considering this reason.
I don't think Lewandowski took as much as risk as Barcelona did, Lewandowski is already almost 34 years old, and I don't Bayern Munchen would have renewed his contract next year beyond a year or two at most, and with Barcelona he very likely the going to get 2-3 years worth of deal as well, he barely has anything to lose, he's had an already illustrious career that most player would give everything to have. However, Barcelona on the other hand have taken a huge risk, and more so a financially unwise decision, given their current financial status and the amount the club will have to pay in terms of wages, the team literally cannot afford to go another year without silverware else it'll be back to how awful things were after the previous board left, if not far worse.
I think the risk is being taken by Barcelona a little too much because if they don't win almost everything in the next season, there will be a lot of problems for them. Tend meaning every competition means a lot more money and they sure need that money right now. and it is also true that Robert Lewandowski is already 34 years old almost. And he does not have too much time left in his career. and almost half of his first season in Barcelona is going to go away just thinking that he is getting set in the team. But Barcelona can not afford that to happen.
The way I see this if Barcelona fails, and Robert Lewandowski also does not score, this will be a case of not being able to get a seat on the team for Robert Lewandowski. but for Barcelona, this will be taking some dumb financial decisions. But I trust Robert Lewandowski is going to play well in Barcelona. I just hope that they will be able to win both the La Liga title and the Champions League title next season. Otherwise, I don't think they will be able to get enough money. Not to mention I already don't understand how they are paying the fee for Robert Lewandowski in the first place.
I don't think it's all been decided this way. After all, there are many teams (who play in the Champions League) and if Ronaldo lowers his salary expectations, even many top clubs will gladly take him. And it seems to me that now that Ronaldo is no longer training with the team, he was already absent from the presentation of the new form, staying at United is more difficult than leaving it.
I guess that's one of the basic reasons as to why Chelsea have refused to go for Ronaldo as his world class and could get a shirt number in whatever team but, salary is always going to be the problem. Write now, Chelsea don't fit the bill as they've got several positions yet to be field in its squad.On the other hand, Robert Lewandowski finally arrives in Barcelona after signing a 3years contract with the Spanish giants over the weekend. Its been a long time coming after so many talks between the champions of Bundesliga who weren't ready to let loose the player yet, despite his eagerness to play in the Laliga. It's been a fantastic 8years in the Bundesliga for him even with 1year still on his contract and his joining Barcelona is surely a good one for the team with Xavi as its coach. Its going to be tough this season for Real Madrid and the UCL.

you are right Ronaldo doesn't want to leave Manchester United just for money. He wants to play in the Champions League. Want to win the Champions League title once again. But now he is not a young player. So the renowned teams are not interested in taking Ronaldo into the team now. And so Ronaldo is now forced to stay with Manchester United.
It started to get funny that Ronaldo wanted to be transferred to every team that played in the Champions League. Now he wants to go to Atlético Madrid. It was clear that he would not stay at Manchester United, but it seems strange that he will return to Spain and play for a team other than Real Madrid.
Atletico fans didn't like Ronaldo, now it is a question of how they will react if this transfer takes place. Will the fans accept him? I'm not sure.
Indeed I also read this news some time ago but I really don't believe Ronaldo can join Atletico.
Visibly we know that the feud between Ronaldo and some Atletico players became purely guaranteed because of the El Clasico and even until he left for Juventus this feud still continued.
On the other hand I still can't believe that Atletico can pay Ronaldo £480,000 per week because under the current conditions it's obviously difficult for them to do something good like this.
Nonsense. Ronaldo has a good salary at United right now. He is looking for a top club that matches his ambitions. This is quite difficult to do given his age and leadership qualities (many coaches are afraid of his influence on the team and may therefore avoid working with him). If it was only about money, then he would have left for the USA long ago or moved to some club where sheikhs do not count money. With his name, this is quite easy to do.

According to Bild Bayern Munich are still thinking of going for Harry Kane. I really don't know about this because it seems very difficult for Tottenham to let him go now. They have been doing a great job with Antonio Conte and they have qualified for the Champions League as well. In these circumstances Tottenham wouldn't like to lose a huge strength. I know that they have signed Richarlison but I don't think that they have made this transfer against the possibility of selling Kane.
Kane is currently in a disadvantaged form but looking at the moment it looks like he is about to return to the form he was in the season he went completely crazy.According to Bild Bayern Munich are still thinking of going for Harry Kane.

It would be great if Kane could be up front at Bayern, but at the moment the chances of him leaving are very slim because apart from his current desire to restore momentum, he also has a long contract left at Tottenham.

According to Diario AS, Ronaldo might travel back to Spain with Atletico. According to the source, Ronaldo's representatives have spoken with Simeone, the manager of Atletico
Is this even real though? Ronaldo has a long history of mockery between him and the fans including Simeone as well when he was playing against them. I know that he is desperate to join another club that would play in the UCL but honestly joining Atletico Madrid just for that is pretty much just weird though. Why would he even want to, its not like they could afford to offer him that high plus all those past mockery
Cristiano Ronaldo, based on his legend, tries to find a rich club that will be able to pay a lot for him. He realizes that this is probably the last moment to sign a big contract. Next year, no one will want to pay a lot for him, because it will probably be the end of his career. I think Ronaldo should be a bit humble and if he wants to finish his career calmly in a good club, then he should reduce the financial requirements. If he does not, the predictions from the memes can actually come true and he will become a free player without a club, and that would be definitely the end of his career.

De Jong is so hungry for a title. The former Ajax Amsterdam player saw that Munich was more likely to win many trophies than moving to MU. The possibility of a reunion with his close friend Matthijs de Ligt also makes De Jong prioritize Munich. Incidentally, Munich is actively hunting for De Ligt from Juventus. Munich reportedly will almost certainly get De Ligt. De Ligt's move will be completed by the middle of this week.
I think de Jong's decision is really unwise, if he wants to go to Bayern, will he be able to compete with Gravenberch or Kimmich for the core team?
In my opinion, because currently only MU has the most serious intentions for de jong then it's better for him to go to MU, rather than dreaming of going to Bayern
Maybe he knows that his friend Matthijs de Ligt is almost certainly Bayern's and he wants to follow suit, but so far I haven't seen any interest Bayern have for this player and I quite agree with what you said he will be a bit difficult to compete. in the bayern midfield if it pushes there.

Maybe it's both of these things, money and a good chance of winning another Champions League title. Or maybe there is already an offer on the table, and what Cristiano Ronaldo is doing is just a negotiating game. The truth is that the clubs with the best chance of fighting for the biggest titles do not want him and in my opinion he should stay at Manchester United. I'm surprised he acts like he doesn't want to.
Marca says that Barcelona have started to have an interest in Jules Kounde once again. He is among Chelsea's transfer targets also now so I wonder where his next station will be this summer. There is an interesting situation also now. Chelsea are interested in Ake also. In case they sign Ake then Manchester City are also thinking about signing Jules Kounde. If Manchester City enter the race then I don't think Barcelona would have the biggest chance to sign him. They would just hope for him to stay in the La Liga.

It is very difficult to buy a player from Spurs, especially one that they do not want to let go of, and still has a contract with them, i have seen it happen, they know how to drag the transfer discussions, and table exorbitant asking fee from the club that wants the player. Spurs did this same thing to City last summer when they were chasing Harry Kane, and thus i believe it is going to be very difficult for Bayern to sign Kane, except the player forces a move, and doesn't care at all about a fall out with the club and its fans.Lewandowski has moved to Barca, so it is quite normal that Bayern will need a replacement, they have got Mane, but i am pretty sure they will want to play him from either the right or left side of their attack, rather than from the middle, Kane is a perfect replacement for Lewandowski, and it is a team he can win absolutely any trophy; but i am pretty sure Spurs will once again stand in his way of an exit.

According to Diario AS, Ronaldo might travel back to Spain with Atletico. According to the source, Ronaldo's representatives have spoken with Simeone, the manager of Atletico, and convinced him to take action to get Ronaldo back to Madrid. He also thinks his acquisition will be as successful as Luis Suarez's arrival in 2020, albeit he thinks the Portugal star may have a greater influence on both the sports and business fronts.
Will Atletico start the campaign with a legendary Portuguese player like the formation below?
