Reportedly now Chelsea have obtained an agreement with Nkunku from Leipzig, if it is true that the news is realized in next season then it is certain that Chelsea will be able to get additional players who are quite reliable on the front lines, so far Nkunku has performed quite well with Leipzig and he has succeeded being a key player over the last few seasons, his speed and ability to score goals made Nkunku one of the sharpest strikers in the Bundesliga last season, it was reported that Nkunku would undergo a medical at Chelsea and Chelsea reportedly dared to lock the deal by agreeing a release clause of 53 million euros with leipzig.

This makes sense for Chelsea, Nkunku is a very good player and has goal scoring ability, So far as for Chelsea Frontline issues, it's not yet solved because you could see that from their last Champions League match with AC Milan, two defenders scored two goals out the 3 goals, Fofana and James as supposed goals should mostly be coming from the front guys. This is evidence that front guys , Sterling, Mount , Havetz, are still sleeping , only Aubameyang is trying to catch up.
They really need to boost their Frontline and with Nkunku coming into show would be nice deal for Chelsea.

Bringing in Cristiano Ronaldo as the main striker of the team would be the best move to make. Because Cristiano Ronaldo wants to leave the team and in Bayern Munich, he is going to have a good performance I believe.
It's actually a time for young blood in football, at least Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have tried well and are still giving their best in football; I don't believe you that Cristiano Ronaldo will be any team's main striker anymore, he has served his own time and this is a time for young strikers, moreover any team that signs Ronaldo will do so just to get people attention and get more market value, not to use him as a key player for fighting any title unless the team is very strong enough, because no team can rely on him anymore, he has tried hard, but it's time for them to give a chance to upcoming young players.

He will be using the time in manchester city as the best time to get more and more experience. Im sure that any team in EPL will be feeling worry when they will meet manchester city. I just wanna see him against the rest of big clubs in the premier league. The quality of haaland will be determined after city will have passed all of big clubs in the premier league. I can't wait when city will be facing chelsea and many more.
Seems Haaland keep respect his contract with Manchester City and not any speculation he will move to other team, actually several games played for Manchester City has more contributing and always scoring goals on Champion League and Primer League. I think Haaland as typical player want to get maximum achievement, actually he still not get any trophy yet and Primer League tittle become his ambition with Manchester City.

Still on young age and have several years later with his career can spent with Primer League competition, have give proof about Haaland quality after made hattrick against with Manchester United and I think not problem with bigger other team like Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool seems easy for Haaland can scoring many goals again.
He will still focus on Manchester City to win the trophy they dream of, of course, with Haaland's performance so extraordinary, there is a possibility that a prestigious trophy between the Premier League and the Champions League is still possible for them and other squads to achieve.
So I'm not sure there will be rumors about Haaland moving away it's far from possible in my opinion, Pep Guardiola's plans are so good with Haaland that he has brought in, in the Premier League can be the best player whoever they play against Haaland is definitely ready to score back in every game.

Didn't United spend a lot of money since they kicked out the genius Moyes from the club?  What they should do is spend smart.  They have been wasting a lot of money acquiring bums.  City's spending can be justified because those players they acquired have mostly been performing well and taking City to a higher level.  
I totally agree with you on that spending smart is key , there has been no changes done to the club after several coaches has been sacked, Moyes, Jose Mourinho etc. At some point it makes sense that a club needs to rebuild its squad during when they start having unresolved issues with their performance and start crumbling down after several attempts trying to get back on track and I think this is the point at which Manchester united are right now, seems like this Big names signing aren't going to help matters anytime soon, and what they should do next window transfer is to spend smart and target only young vibrant talented players to add with the old guys already there, and with that they could start seeing some improvement with their team.

TyCSports is reporting that the FC Bayern is interested in signing Internazionale striker Lautaro Martínez:

Quote
His agent Alejandro Camaño: "I wouldn’t be surprised because there are always enquiries. But today Lautaro has very clear ideas. He thinks about Inter and the World Cup"

"Anything can happen in the future. Inter are not in the best moment, but they’re a great team and a wonderful place. No one rules out other clubs appearing strongly on the market for him, but he is in no hurry. We'll see what happens"

Source: https://twitter.com/iMiaSanMia/status/1577695485682384896

Martínez is performing well this season and is on the verge of making a move to one of Europe's top clubs. However, the 25-year-old still has a contract until 30.06.2026 and his market value is estimated at €75m.

The long-term contract and the high market value make a smooth transfer to FC Bayern at the current time pretty unlikely. IMHO, Bayern won't pay that much for a new striker.

However, should Bayern not become Bundesliga champion this season and also perform worse in the CL, the topic could become interesting again in the summer.
Martinez have had some good seasons at Inter Milan, he is a very good player and excellent at top attacking line. I think Martinez will favour a move away at this time in search of a new challenge and new environment to develop. However the 25 year old is still in contract till 2026 and a market value estimated to be around €75m and I don’t think Bayern Munich will be willing to pay that much for him as things stand.

Bringing in Cristiano Ronaldo as the main striker of the team would be the best move to make. Because Cristiano Ronaldo wants to leave the team and in Bayern Munich, he is going to have a good performance I believe.
For me, Cristiano Ronaldo should be thinking of retiring from football. He has won everything except the world cup. His performance is dwindling daily and age is also affecting him negatively. I know he is still strong and ambitious to win trophies but I think his glory days are coming to an end. He should remain in Manchester United and help them win trophies, maybe he might attract some teams. But Ronaldo would not be a good signing for Bayern Munich. The team needs a young striker that can last for a longer time.
Ronaldo is a very ambitious player, he has never been satisfied with what he has got so far. Retirement is not on his mind yet, he will continue to play to set new records even though he knows at an old age it is very difficult to compete for a place in the main squad. He is just waiting for his contract with Manchester United to finish, then he will look for a new club that can give him a chance to play in the Champions League. Because the reason he wanted to move from Manchester United at the beginning of last season just to play in the Champions League.
Ronaldo is very ambitious as you said, we should not be surprised to see Messi retire before Ronaldo. This is because Messi has just announced today that this year's world cup will be his final world cup. But we cannot hear this type of statement from Ronaldo because he feels he is still strong and energetic to face the world of football.
I am not sure if Bayern Munich will offer Ronaldo more than 2yrs contract because they will rather look for a younger striker to replace Lewandowski and not Ronaldo. If they sign Ronaldo by January it could be to serve as a placeholder till the season finish and they get a younger striker.

It is true that Cristiano Ronaldo is still very strong. He still has the ability to perform really well. I really cannot agree with @Die_empty because I think Cristiano Ronaldo still has a lot to give to the football world. I know that he has almost everything that can be achieved in football. And there is nothing left in his career that he did not achieve. In my opinion, he has been placed in the wrong club, which is destroying his career. Cristiano Ronaldo knows that very well.

@rby I agree with you that I am also not going to be surprised if Lionel Messi retires before Cristiano Ronaldo. I think Lionel Messi knows that his body is not going to be able to take much more. But Christiano Ronaldo still has one of the finest physical attributes in football. So he can carry on for a few more years.

Haaland is enjoying his time at Manchester City, it is clear he loves the club and feels at home at Manchester City. I heard some fans are already protesting that Haaland should be sent out of the league, I won't blame them the player is trouble for opponents and epl fans are scared of him for the way he easily scores goals. His capabilities are worth being worried about.

I don't really know why people are all of a sudden discussing about Haaland potentially leaving City some years from now, it could prolly be because of his dad's comments a few days ago, but that wasn't a direct statement to indicate that Haaland won't be staying at City too long.

I fully agree....
In just over two months at Manchester City, Erling Haaland has already racked up many goals so that he has numbers above several other world football stars such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
Haaland is scoring a lot of goals at an astonishing pace. I've been researching the data here so I don't get it wrong, and he scored no less than 17 goals in the first 11 games this season... I think Haaland at city is much better than he was at Borussia Dortmund or Salzburg.
He is a player who is certainly already starting to go down in football history.

And Man City is trying to emerge to become an elite club in the level of Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern.  It's not quite there yet but within 20 years it would prolly have racked up enough trophies and write its own accolades in the history books.  The criticisms that they're a money club is true, but how can a club really excel in modern football in the current transfer market the we have without spending too much money?  It's impossible.  And if anything, City has spend their money smarter as of late than clubs like United and Barca.

United have taken so much coward moves for the pass seasons with a lot of players that doesn't suit the club from 2013 till date, I can't even call a complete player for Manchester United. Ten Hag is a good man and knows what he wants, they shouldn't hesitate to splash the cash when he finally demands for it, the only thing that has helped reduced the talks about Pep's expenditures is just that they have been winning trophies for some years now.
Man United needs to start winning even if it's the Europa League and then try winning the Premier League next season it will be so much benefit them alot.
Barcelona spent carelessly on Griezman and Dembele but they have not done to the expectations of the fans

Didn't United spend a lot of money since they kicked out the genius Moyes from the club?  What they should do is spend smart.  They have been wasting a lot of money acquiring bums.  City's spending can be justified because those players they acquired have mostly been performing well and taking City to a higher level.  I mean there are mishaps here and there but they are fixed really fast.  I remember Pep acquiring a keeper during his first season and realized it was a mistake...  No ifs, no buts, City got rid of the keeper they very next year and acquired Ederson.

There are very interesting rumours about Ronaldo recently and I don't find them much realistic to be honest.

Because he is rumoured with some Turkish teams like Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe. No matter what I can't imagine a legend like Ronaldo playing in the Turkish Super League. While he is still ambitious to play in the Champions League this would be a big mistake for him. I know that another legend like Roberto Carlos played for Fenerbahçe before. But I believe that it is different when it comes to a player like Ronaldo. I think the same for Messi also. Besides I don't think any Turkish team can afford Ronaldo's demands now.
The gossip about Ronaldo are getting wild recently because he linked with so many clubs without uncertain news and the news about this appears since last month
this because Turkish media Ajansspor that they claimed Ronaldo has personal deal with Fenerbahce manager but Ronaldo has refused this rumours because he don't have any plan to playing at Turkish league moreover Fenerbahce probably cannot pay his salary which is very high so this rumour probably will not going to happend but one is certain about him that Manchester United are willing to release him and to find new clubs in January so let see which clubs will be his destination

FC Bayern was interested in signing RB Leipzig's top player Christopher Nkunku. However, the €60m release clause in the contract only applies to foreign clubs and not to clubs from the Bundesliga. This makes a move to FC Bayern very unlikely that Bayern and Leipzig can''t agree on a "fair" transfer fee.

Quote
Christopher Nkunku's €60m release clause is only valid for foreign clubs. Bayern were interested and enquired to Zahavi's agency, but the fact they have to negotiate a fee with Leipzig made a deal impossible. Nkunku, meanwhile, looks set to join Chelsea [@cfbayern, @altobelli13]

Source: https://twitter.com/iMiaSanMia/status/1578349247375675392

Currently, a transfer of Nkunku to Chelsea FC in the Premier League seems very likely. Most likely in the next summer transfer window.

What kind of fan would make such a protest just because Haaland has qualities that other players rarely have? Precisely any game will be much more considered with Man City who has extraordinary assets like Haaland. I'm sure Haaland contract at Man will continue to be a reference to keep. If you look at the history of his parents, Haaland parents have agreed to serve at the club that has been loyal to his life.

What did they buy Rashford for? At the moment I don't think it is necessary, Although Messi is old he has helped PSG's game become more offensive enough. Enough to keep Mbaape and Neymar I think quite well.
Players at the club depend on how the coach understands his abilities and is able to develop. Rashford at Man United had a difficult time, so I think it's natural. In addition, he also often gets injuries so that he cannot perform optimally. I'm afraid if he goes to PSG he will be a reserve player and that won't make him develop.
There was a lot of potential in Rashford. However, that does not mean he was not overrated in the first place. In my opinion, he is one of the players who was highly regarded by a lot of legends in the game at the time he played. If I am not mistaken, even Sir Alex Ferguson has said that this player is going to be one of the best players in the world. However, that did not happen in the end. I think right now he is not a necessity for any team, to be honest.
I also agree with @AakZaki, he is not a necessity right now unless his performance on the team improves a lot. I think it is safe to say that this is just a waste of money right now.
Rashford has improved this season, his contributions this season is far much better than last season especially towards the end of the season. I wouldn't blame him entirely for the poor form because it was entirely the fault of the team including the coach. I think Ten Hag has been able to change somethings and map out possible solutions to boost player improvement because not only Rashford has improved, Martial and Sancho also which is a good start to progress.

Rashford has obviously played better this season. At least he started better. Currently, I think he is someone who is in the wrong club at the wrong time in his career. Because if he was at another club where he had a lot more playing time and also a coach who trusted him a lot more, I feel his performance could have been far enhanced. Additionally, Manchester United is also one of the clubs at the moment that is not doing well at all. So if he is not getting one goal each game on average, I don't think it's entirely his fault. He is still a highly-rated player, he obviously has the potential as well.

On the other hand, Erik Ten Hag is probably not relying on him to a sufficient extent in order to be successful. That is understandable at this point. Because when the team is performing well without Cristiano Ronaldo, anything is possible at that point. Yet, I think the coach should still have some faith in this player.

The coach seen to have so much trust and faith in him this season saying he will be part of his long term plans at Manchester United
Even Antonio Martial has improved since the preseason he came back strong against Liverpool and also scored a goal against manchester city, the game last night was good as they put up standardized results to win the game for manchester united.both Marcus Rashford and Antonio Martial scored as they help United win that game.

A bit difficult for him to find a new club. His agent has been giving so many offers to the various clubs in the past and these clubs have been rejecting offers from his agent. I meant his age has become the main problem for him to continue his intention to play even more in the champion league. The performance from MU is really bad at this moment. I think that ronaldo has no chance other than try to make its current club to be able enter into the top 4 and secure the champion league ticket for the next season.
This time it's playing in europe league which is not make him feeling satisfied with it

After his form dropped so much, is it possible for a big club to sign him in the next transfer window.
I hope yes, there are big clubs interested in him. maybe by leaving Old Trafford his performance will be even better, and can find his rhythm.

However, if I look at the Omonia vs United match, it seems that Ronaldo has lost his sharpness. even in that game, he forgot how to score goals.
So as you said, it looks like it will be difficult for him to find a new club, especially a big club that is competing in the champions league. like it or not, Ronaldo must improve his performance if he still wants to be the main starter in the Europa competition.

It seems like Barcelona are close to happy ending about Griezmann. They have wanted to get rid of him for a long time and he has been on loan at Atletico Madrid for some time. Now it seems like he is nearly a permanent Atletico Madrid player officially.

Because it is said that Atletico Madrid have already triggered his obligatory buying option and there is no turning back from it. His permanent deal is expected be for 20 million euros + add-ons (€2m-8m). His annual salary now is €12.5m so Barcelona are going to get rid of a big load over their shoulders. It is important for them as they have spent a lot of money recently.

Good news. And for Atletico too - now they will be able to let him into the field in the first team and not after the 60th minute for the sake of their machinations (an option in the contract that increased the price of Grinzman depending on the amount of playing time). I think Grinzman is also pleased because he needs game practice before the World Cup and in general it is probably better to be a player in the main team than to sit on the bench most of the game.

Halland will definitely leave City in 2 year’s time, because Pep will too quit City and look for a new challenge and that’ll allow Halland too walk away too. Furthermore I don’t think that he’ll want to want to play for PSG, so that leave's only Real Madrid that can actually afford him but if they buy Mbappe then he’ll have to consider Bayern or Juventus provided they can raise the funds required to purchase him.
I think the speculations surrounding Haaland leaving City is unnecessary and somewhat annoying to City, their fans and board, Haaland just arrived at the club a couple of months ago, he has also had a dream start to his City career, but just almost immediately the media and football fans across the world are already discussing his exit from the club soon after he just started life there, i mean, if we are to be talking about Haaland it should be about how fantastic he has been this season and not when or if he will leave City.

Having said that, as for Pep Guardiola, he is very much happy at City, he has never stayed at a club this long, and this indicates how much he loves the club and the city, and he has said that numerous times, i think Pep is going to be manager of City for a very long time, he will prolly leave the club as a coaching legend, he definitely isn't leaving the Etihad anytime soon.

IMO the resolution appears to suit all parties. Now Barcelona will have Antoine Griezmann off their checkbook, Meanwhile Atletico Madrid will retain a player who is firmly etched into the club. Atletico Madrid have been enjoying his services for the few times he has been on the pitch for them and this agreement should allow Antoine Griezmann to play as much as Diego Simeone wants him to. Besides Atletico Madrid have limited options in the attack and it has affected Simeone's selection in games.

Liverpool are considering their options if they cannot convince Jude Bellingham to leave Borussia Dortmund. Liverpool are one of the teams targeting Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund.
How does Liverpool convince him of the current situation of Liverpool performance? Moreover, Real Madrid showed big interest to sign him. It is normal if Jude Bellingham should prefer to move to Real Madrid. Liverpool must change their target, there are many other midfielders that may fit with Liverpool games.
Complicated situation related to our attempt to get Jude Bellingham. Not because of rivals like Real Madrid but because Liverpool's management is a little frugal in spending big money to recruit players.
If Liverpool are willing to prepare a large fee to sign Bellingham, then there is a possibility that the Dortmund player will choose Liverpool over Real Madrid.

For me, it's time for Liverpool to prepare a potential replacement for Henderson considering Thiago is often injured.
