From the rumors circulating, Tottenham's mainstay player Heung Min Son is in demand by the Spanish giants, Real Madrid. What I'm asking is whether Tottenham will let go of the players they rely on every season? honestly i doubt about it. while Real Madrid reportedly want to bring him to strengthen them. Heung Min Son's contract expires in 2025 at Tottenham, and I see him still at home.

Lionel Messi have not given any comments concerning his future and there is no guarantee that he wants to go back to Barcelona. For me I am speculating that PSG's performance in the UEFA Champions League would really have impact on his choice of his future career. I am suspecting that if PSG wins the trophy, Messi might be motivated to remain in the club. But a disappointing outing might force him to leave the team.

We shouldn't also forget that it was because of the financial challenges of the Barcelona that led to the departure of Messi and the financial position of the club has not improved because the club is highly indebted and we saw that when they were unable to register some of their new signings this season.

Messi have won almost everything, I think it is time for him to make more money and prepare for  his life after football.


The number of players Barcelona signed this season shouldn't be used as a benchmark to prove that they are financially sound because most of the players they signed came in through free transfer. The only spent money on few players and some of these players joined Barcelona because of the love for coach Xavi and the club.

Rumors of Messi returning to Barcelona grew louder after Xavi asked Messi directly to help him at Barcelona. Now Barcelona have no trouble signing Messi back because the club is in a much healthier financial position, you can see from the number of star players that Barcelona brought in the summer of 2022.

According to one reliable source Veronica Brunati from Telemundo Deportes, the Barcelona president really wants Messi to return to Camp Nou, he will try to bring Messi back to Barcelona. Messi's contract with PSG will expire on June 30, 2023, Messi has also postponed a contract extension until after the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. This situation can be used by Barcelona to seduce Messi to be willing to return to giving the club that has been instrumental in his career.

I think that it is still doubtful whether Messi would like to accept a 12-month contract extension offer despite his great performance this season. It might depend on whether he gets an offer from Barcelona this summer.

Because I'm one hundred percent sure that his priority would still be returning to Barcelona. Barcelona is his home in the end no matter how great he plays at PSG. But it is also doubtful whether Xavi would like to see him back in the team. I mean that it might be difficult for Xavi to make big changes in his system. Because the current system doesn't fit Messi well. Xavi doesn't have a system focused mainly on one player. I know that Lewandowski is the most important player of course but he is their striker. But Messi was directly at the centre of their previous system. He was responsible of so many duties. But now there is no such player in the team so team effort is the key point.

EDIT: Thanks for making me realize the mistake @GiftedMAN. I've fixed it. 

Lionel Messi contract with PSG over at the end this season, still not have agreement deal between PSG and Lionel Messi for new contract extended. Give good rumor and speculation for Barcelona fans hope they can sign in back Lionel Messi and retired his football career with team have given many trophies. I think not easy to compete with PSG with salary payment for Lionel Messi and actually have most expensive salary, Barcelona need to prepare more planning because will have new player cut off salary again if want to sign in Lionel Messi next season.

I don't hope  Lionel Messi extended one or two years contract with PSG or returning back playing for Barcelona, but most expected if Lionel Messi can move to Primer League teams and want to see how his talented with most competitive league.

It's simple because Ronaldo is still contracted to the club and can only leave freely when the contract expires or it is terminated by the club or its release clause is been payed by any interested club. Although I doubt if Ronaldo has any release clause in his contract if not then he has to just hope a club submits a bid good enough to push united to sell.

I think Son might get a place in the team considering his pattern of play. If we notice Madrid hardly uses the right flank, Valverde is used there more often to create space for Kroos and Modric in the midfield. So since Kroos is yet to sign a contract extension I think ones his contract expires Valverde will be dropped back into the midfield leaving the right flank empty. It's also clear that Ancelloti doesn't trust Asensio much in that position so Son could actually get a notch there. Also Son can also the false 9 role perfectly. Having done that with Tottenham I think Ancelloti would love to try it out in games he that Benzema needs rest. Son is 28 but he is still ageing like a fine wine



Another news is Barcelona have agreed terms with Wolves for the transfer of midfielder Ruben Neves, with personal terms also rumored to have been agreed.

Although its a great signing for them since Xavi doesn't trust De Jong. But my question is what about Kiesse, Xavi hasn't even giving enough playing time to actually prove its worth. Could Kiesse's be another Pjanic disaster?

I hope messi will try to accept the new contract that already offered to him. There's no reason for him other than try to accept it. He will never able going back to the barcelona. This club may go to the europa league and team will be loosing another income again from champion club.
I think barcelona will have tried to take another financial clever if barcelona can't succeed in the champion league. Messi is a player with high salary. Another team will think for twice before they will be trying to bought him from PSG.
Messi's impact is really big to the PSG. It can be seen from some matches that already passed

@Pandu I feel that Son will slot in well because of his vast experience, and look at Modric he’s done so well for himself hence there’s no doubt in my mind that he’ll settle in well at Madrid. Furthermore while Vinícius has done well so far but he’s yet young and playing alone side with Son he’ll get to learn a lot from him, thus if Son gets a chance then he should probably seal this transfer.

Competition at Real Madrid will certainly be difficult for Son. Vinicius is young and he is very energetic. even though Son moved and tried to get a place in the main squad, he certainly had to work hard.
especially now that we can see how Vinicius and Rodrygo play, who always get the main place. or interchangeably.
it all depends on Son, who wants to be ambitious for a trophy or a place in the main squad.

Maybe the journalists have distorted everything again? How can Ronaldo's future be linked to United if he clearly doesn't fit into the Ten Hag scheme? And most importantly, why does Ronaldo need a problematic club with a problematic coach if he has the opportunity to move to another club where he will simply play without hassle and struggle for a place in the squad. Given Ronaldo's age, any other club would be a good choice for him.

Son have excellent performance with Tottenham Hotspur on every season and seems faced difficult with main position if want to move Real Madrid depending his position is the same with Vinicius Jr. Son seems frustrated with Tottenham Hotspur although have top performance and give many contribution for team on every match, but he not get any trophy yet trough stay long time with Spurs. Based on several rumor about Real Madrid manager Ancelotti interested with Son, but I don't think how competitive at his position will easy to get regular in starting eleven, seems Hazard as best player at Chelsea before moving to Madrid get difficult to be main player on ever match, he loss regular position with Real Madrid team due have impressive performance from Vinicius Jr.

with its current performance.

Ronaldo's chances of changing clubs in the next winter transfer window, it looks like it will be difficult for him. except, his contract period has expired with Manchester United.
As for Napoli, this club has been linked since the transfer market last summer.

Likewise with Chelsea, Ronaldo is always predicted to move to Chelsea next January. as you said, Ronaldo transfer rumors are just a diversion. what is certain, Ronaldo will stay with Man United until his contract expires. because after all, also for now Ronaldo is still needed by Ten Hag before they get a replacement in the next transfer window.

Hazard isn't having a good career at Madrid is because he doesn't fit the Madrid style of play and also because of his injury crisis. All the tackles he suffered while he was at Chelsea is now coming back to hurt him. Then it seem he was indestructible but little did we know he wasn't. Also Hazard was the go to man at Chelsea but at Madrid, he's just like everyone else and nobody cares. Son on the only hand will fir into the Madrid system since he's fast both on and off the ball.

Madrid is known for counter attack football and that's son's specialties. He'll do just fine at Real Madrid and might even beach those players you think are better option than him currently at Real Madrid. Son has been excellent at Tottenham and I think it's high time he moves on to greater challenges, the la Liga side won't be bad.

Ronaldo won't be leaving Manchester United anytime soon; I believe the Napoli transfer rumor is merely a diversion. Ronaldo and Ten Tag will settle their differences and begin again after.I think that Manchester United needs Ronaldo, so I hope they sign a new striker in January. However, as things are, Ronaldo's future will continue to depend on his connection with Ten Tag.

There are a lot of transfer rumors about Ronaldo. It is said that he will go to Napoli, but I don't know how well he will be able to play in Napoli, they are already a pretty good team right now. On the other hand, there are rumors that Chelsea are also interested in Ronaldo.
In the last transfer period, we used to say that Ronaldo's team would definitely change, but it had not changed, we will see which team will go this time

I don't see Son succeeding in Real Madrid. His advisers should tell him to avoid Real Madrid. Son will not have good playing time in Real Madrid and he will possibly be like Hazard in Real Madrid. The kind of players Real Madrid want is a standing striker like Haaland, not people like Son.
Real Madrid has great young forward like Vinicius, Rodrygo and Valverde. I don't think that they need Son to add to this group.

Son has give important contribution for Tottenham although this season he hasn't find his top performance again but during playing for Tottenham he has scoring a lot of goals and indeed one of important thing is Tottenham is the team who cannot give him the trophies and if Real Madrid offers is true i think it's time to Son considering that offers because it's a shame if the player such as Son will ended his career without single trophies and with moved to Real Madrid his chances is quite high to achieved the trophies because so far Madrid is strong contender for race title on Laliga and champion league but before that he have to realized to get one places on Madrid starting lineup is quite hard because he have to compete with other star players in Real Madrid

I also read about the rumors that Real Madrid is interested in signing Son for the next season but to be honest i doubt that this is true. Son is definitely a great player and he showed for the last few years now that he can compete on the highest level but usually Real Madrid is looking for the biggest superstars. There have been many rumors in the last few weeks that Real is already working on a deal to get Haaland in two year or so, when Benzemas contract is running out, because apparently Haaland has a clause in his contract that could make this signing possible. So with a possible Haaland transfer on the horizon i doubt that Son wants to join Real, if he only is the number one striker again after 1 season.

It's not a funny thing. He knows that he has more potential rather than still playing for this club. The potential from any player can be seen from how good the coach to maintain the players to give their best performance. I think that you shall not underestimate uncellotti in this case by saying conte's style affecting his performance. totenham has too many winers on its club. The competition is also very strict. Richarlison and dejan have become the main reason why he was also rarely playing for the club too.
It's better for him to think about his future career rather than still stay at the club that doesn't need him anymore. He was only wasting his time. He can be a big guy with real madrid.
The world class club. Totenham was also rarely winning any competition.

It’s just funny that he’s now deciding to leave Tottenham when he should have left a long time ago. It’s obvious that Antonio Conte style of play is affecting his performance. He’s not the Heung-Ming Son we used to know. Real Madrid is hunting for a striker and I think Son is comfortable at operating as both a left inside-forward and a centre-forward. Due to his versatility and finishing, the Korean is considered to be an ideal fit for Ancelotti's side. Without an doubt, he’s going to be a good addition to Real Madrid attack.
