Hot rumors are now again involving star players from PSG. Leonel's future with the French League giants, PSG, was a big question, especially since the megastar's contract was about to run out. Messi's contact will end in June 2023, while La Blaugrana is reportedly planning to take him home. there has been much speculation linking Messi with big clubs, even Premier League clubs.

Meanwhile, journalist Gerard Romeno reports a different matter stating that Messi will not stay at Paris-Saint-Germain. if the reports are true, there has been speculation as to whether Barcelona and Lionel Messi will get back together, as many football fans have questioned.
On the other hand, Marca journalist Marc Vila reports that Messi will not return to Camp Nou.
To be honest, I'm not sure about the current rumors around Messi. so, let's just wait and see what Messi will do for his future.
If Messi leaves to play in a more competitive league, he will face what Ronaldo faced, maybe one season of everyone being happy that he is there, and he is loved by his teammates and everything looks great, but then he will get too old to play that competitively and instead start to play a lot worse.

I believe he should stay in PSG because it's a league that is not too competitive, not that they are leading comfortably now but even in this situation they are leading which is all that matters. It's important to remember this dude is not a kid anymore, he is close to retirement age and playing in a competitive team would definitely cause him to have a lot of trouble.
Messi is losing strength ,if you watch him play in PSG. You will understand that Messi is Doing less work. He doesn't need too much pressure at this stage, he has won everything. Barcelona shouldn't be an option for him. He will face humiliation, because he can't give Barcelona 100% again because of his age. It's better to stay in PSG or move to USA and enjoy the game.  Xavi Hernandez are building Barcelona future with these young stars. Bring Messi won't be cool . because the fans wouldn't want to hear excuses, it's better to avoid the pressure.

Maybe Juventus will lose even more players. I personally would not like to continue playing at a club that has been charged with fraud. As a player you may also run a certain risk financially. And Juventus players are generally all quite agile, they have found another club in no time. I also don't know to what extent players are loyal to Juventus in this regard. It is a pity that pogba now has to play football again in this situation, that transfer had actually been for nothing.

It's heartbreaking for a player like Pogba to be in this pitiful situation at this stage of his career. Even I, as a player, would not want to continue playing in a team where my future is uncertain; they may not be able to overcome this in due time, which may have an impact on the players' finances as well. The players' concentration and zeal to win a match will also be reduced to a bare minimum. This is a sad and pitiful time for a big club like Juventus.

It looks like Marcelo Bielsa is the strongest candidate for the job at Everton after sacking Lampard.

I think this might be a good decision for Everton. Because Bielsa is a very experienced manager and he has a lot of experience with some decent teams like Athletic Bilbao, Marseille, Lazio and Lille. His last team was Leeds and he isn't working for any team right now. He worked with Leeds for nearly four years so he knows the Premier League very well also. I hope he builds a good relationship and has a good chemistry with Everton players to put an end to their misery in this season.
It is disappointing to see Frank Lampard lose his job, a number of fans think that the whole problem in the club is caused by the owners of the club, not really blaming Frank Lampard for the poor performances and results in the club. Marcelo Bielsa replacing Lampard could be the best move for Everton judging from his stats and records in his managerial career.

Another rumor is that Luka Modric was also offered by Al Nassr to join the Arab League and made a fantastic price offer of 40 million euros. However, this offer was rejected out of hand by Modric because he still wanted to insist on retiring at Los Blancos. Modric is not too interested in this big money, of course it shows that Modric loyalty to Madrid is very high.
Well, not every player is so interested in making huge salary, some players value loyalty and family more than money and Modric seems to be one of those personalities who value the love and good memories created in Real Madrid and wish to end his career with the club. I expected that Modric will fancy a move to join his old time team mate Cristiano Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia.

Talking about Hakim Ziyech, who was linked with Newcastle, seems to make the hunt for one player even hotter, the latest rumors say that Everton are interested in signing Hakim Ziyech from Chelsea. According to my speculation, this happened because several Everton players who will be sold in the current transfer market such as Anthony Gordon and specifically Amadou Onana were rumored to be going to Chelsea, it is likely that so that Chelsea can more easily get Amadou Onana from Everton they are offering a fee option plus one player Hakim Ziyech as condition. What do you think?
It may be good for Chelsea, it will be easier to get Amadou Onana if they include Ziyech in the transfer agreement. But it is bad for Ziyech to move to a team that is in the relegation zone, which means Ziyech won't play in EPL league in the next season. I guess it will ruin the career of Ziyech if he accept it, he should refuse it if Chelsea plans it. The best option is Chelsea to buy Amadou Onana with fresh money without Ziyech, let Ziyech to move to a proper club. AC Milan is interested to sign him, it is much better than he moves to Everton.

Mckennie is really close to joining Premier League from Juventus.

The deal is almost done with Leeds.
Juventus had initially made McKennie available to loan with an option to buy, prompting interest from Leeds. But negotiations for him  are close to completion over a permanent move, although Juventus and Leeds are yet to come to an agreement over the fee paid. If Leeds successfully get him, he’ll be a good addition to them at least his strong physique will be of huge benefit to Leeds, and he is also versatile and looks set to play a key role in their battle against relegation from the Premier League.

According to some media reports, Leeds is currently offering an initial price of 28 million for the midfielder from the United States, but this obviously will not be seen too much because Juventus still want 35 million for McKennie.
But looking at the current conditions it seems that sooner or later McKennie will leave because indeed several Juventus midfielders are now almost ready to fill the void because Pogba is recovering and Nicolo Fagioli and Miretti can also fill in the positions left behind.

Smart is not enough, there must be skills
There are speculations suggesting Kylian Mbappe may be moving to Manchester City but I don’t believe that will be realistic in this transfer window. There’s been no statement from the coach or club regarding this so until an official statement is made by either parties, I will not get excited. I feel these are all rumours going round the media to pull attention. Imagine having Mbappe and Haaland in the same thing just like having Ronaldo and Messi on the same team lol I won't like to see that happening for the sake of competition.
It's very unrealistic to happen in the current transfer window Kylian Mbappe will definitely stay at PSG because he has been paid handsomely for his current club, however the media always want to attract attention from players who are currently popular, I also believe Manchester City will be able to paid a heavy price for Kylian Mbappe but for now this rumor is only limited to unclear media reports.
On the other hand, I also see disputes between Kylian Mbappe, Messi and Neymar. To be honest, this news is familiar because it is the media that always raises this rumor.

Everton are interested in Arnautovic for their attacking line. On the other hand he is quite old now - 33. I don't know how much they can get efficiency from him about scoring goals.

After selling Richarlison to Tottenham, Everton have made a quite good amount of money like €58m from his fee in fact. I think they could have used this money also to find a solid striker. Of course I know that it isn't easy to convince a very big striker to come here while they are having problems. But they could have still found a better striker than Maupay. He couldn't score even a few goals so far. Calvert-Lewin is also very unproductive. He made a good duo with Richarlison in the past but he isn't good now.

It is just a rumor circulating around,  no statement from a reliable source about this news. Mbappe won't be bad for Manchester City,  I'm am very sure he is a dream player Pep Guardiola would like be part of is squad. If Manchester City eventually have an experience player like Mbappe add to Haaland who is doing great for Manchester City it will be hard for Manchester City not to win the EPL I just hope the rumor becomes real for Manchester City.

Well as far as i know, Messi did not really had to leave Barcelona at all. It was just the case, that Barcelona could not afford to pay Messi his extremely high salary. They have paid him around 550 M€ for a 5 year contract, that are 110 M€ per year, which is probably 5 times more than other world class players are earning. That was the reason why Barcelona has such extremely high debts now and is still in danger of going bankrupt.
Messi could have stayed back then but of course for a salary that would have only been a fraction of the old one. So it was not like he was forced to leave or something. He just wanted to continue to earn ridiculously high amounts of money and he could do that PSG.

In fact, he was forced to leave (by the way, I think you are mistaken about the size of his salary - it seems Barcelona paid him less than 100 million a year), because of the laws (either trade union or Spanish labor laws) that do not allow to reduce wages employee by more than 50% per year. Barcelona didn't have the money to pay even half of his previous salary - leaving was the only option.

This is a false News, and if Mbappe would like to leave PSG, Manchester City isn't he's favorite club to move to, rather he would prefer moving to he's dream club Real Madrid. For now base on the current news there's no indication of such Mbape link to City.


Imagine having Mbappe and Haaland in the same thing just like having Ronaldo and Messi on the same team lol I won't like to see that happening for the sake of competition.

No miracle will happen more than what has happened having Mbappe currently playing along side Lionel Messi and Neymar in Paris St German,  Assuming if the rumuor is real and Mbappe moved to Manchester City to pare with Harland in the club.

After parting ways with Depay Barcelona are planning to sell Ferran Torres as well.

It is like Barcelona are eager to sell every player who can play in the centre-forward role too.  Grin  This isn't a good sign for Barcelona at all because Lewandowski's alternatives are leaving the team one by one. Of course I don't mean that they can play like Lewandowski. But in his absence Barcelona will need a proper striker to fill his place. Otherwise they have serious problems on finishing their dangerous attacks with goals. The Getafe match can be given as an example.

This is Misleading because you can’t blame Messi for leaving Barca. People accusing him of not signing a new contract because he doesn’t wants to take a pay cut are just falsely accusing him. According to many reputable media reports, Messi had agreed to take a 50% pay cut off his salary and when it was time to sign the contract Laporta; the club president opted against it because even that won’t save them. Barca were suffering from the pandemic crisis and also the large spending on new transfers then. The club was left in shambles by Bartomeu. Even when Messi left Barca still had same issues and players like De Jong are still suffering. There are many things that are considered when we a say a club is in a financial crisis not just lowering wages of the players. Messi did nothing and even Barca had to give him a befitting farewell. Had it been he had issues will they do that?

Mbappe is nearly the highest paid player anywhere. I am sure Ronaldo is above him already, and maybe there must be a few players here and there. But in no competitive team in the world is there a player that is paid as much as Mbappe. Which means that there is no team in the world that can beat PSG and still manage to pay one player more than Mbappe. Because if you want to build a good team, you share that wealth around normally, you don't pay a single player that much, and even though there are teams that pay more than Mbappe's salary to their players, none of them do it to a single player if they want to be good. PSG manages to not only pay Mbappe that much, but still field a very competitive team at the same time. Unless the team starts to be terrible in the future, he will stay until he retires depending on if the contracts keep being this big.

Kylian mbappe is going nowhere as it stands, PSG already offered him one lifetime contract which he agreed, he's the highest earner in the club and Ligue 1. He's tough winger with good footing on the ball, Galtier key player in his project for the Parisians. Rumors circulating but it's totally untrue about the move, Pep Guardiola have no plans to bring the France international over to city. He's satisfied with erling Haaland in the frontlines with good aides like Phil Foden and Riyad Mahrez. Manchester city is strong team and they're aiming to bring more youngsters to the team.

No, I think Messi can still return to Barcelona to play for his childhood club before retiring there as the club legend.
Players returning to their so called childhood clubs is a bad idea because all those beautiful memories he left could be erased and we saw what happened with Cristiano. Maybe that Saudi Arabia deal is in the pipeline after all because his playing days are almost over and what better way of ending it by getting a fat pay check.

Well as far as i know, Messi did not really had to leave Barcelona at all. It was just the case, that Barcelona could not afford to pay Messi his extremely high salary.
Come on, Are you saying that Messi is still a Barcelona player...  Tongue

I have already said it, the major concern of players is to continue to earn highly ridiculous amount of money. I first asked this question that if Messi loved Barcelona that much, why not take some pay cut.
The same thing happened to Ronaldo. When the bid from Saudi came, I told people that Ronaldo will go for the money but they said that Ronaldo will like to play only in Europe and possibly in the Champions league. But today we have seen where Ronaldo is.
