Busquet is already 34 years old, we can understand if he wants to leave Barcelona to MLS. Since Barcelona have some midfielders, I think Barcelona is not really needed (not urgent) for the new midfielder to change him. But if Barcelona thinks to sign a new defensive midfielder, I think Rodri or Kimmich are the best options. However, I am not sure it will be easy to sign them because both players are key players of big clubs. From the candidate list, only Martin Zubimendi is possible to sign by Barcelona.

The veteran midfielder claims no decision has yet been made. He said the rumors were not true and were just rumours. "I can't tell you anything because it's nothing, it's just rumours," Busquets explained

for now it looks like he is dismissing the news that he will leave Barca in the near future but he has also explained in several interviews that he is aware that he is not young anymore so changing clubs is the best option to keep the team in shape

my personal opinion is actually he knows that barca are trying to get rid of him but because he is still under contract and in love with barca he prefers to stay for a while

we'll see next year, whether busquets will move from barca or not!

But about the Chelsea coach I totally agree with you, he was a great coach last season and could very well continue in the same vein and do it now, but for some reason the management decided otherwise. He will be perfect for Bayern, he has German roots, he will work well with the team.

Basically Thomas Tuchel start his coaching career from FC Augsburg II which became part of the German association football club. Tuchel has 10 seasons of experience in the German league including Borussia Dortmund
It will be a plus if Tuchel returns to the Bundesliga to manage Bayern, he is already familiar with the local league and for competitions outside the Bundesliga, his experience at PSG and Chelsea will be a consideration to see the quality of coach Thomas Tuchel in managing the club.
I fully support Bayern planning to bring him to the Allianz Arena

I so also support this decision, it only remains that the deal would take place, but I would still give the current coach a chance to try to fix the situation. For example, give him 4 games and see how the team plays under him. And if not, of course replace him with Thomas. The main thing is not to be too late to do it. Now the situation is still more or less correctable

I didn't know that Marcus Rashford had a 12-month extension option on his contract to be triggered. Manchester United have started to negotiate with some of their important players for extending their contracts. He is one of these players currently. If they don't convince him to extend then they will guarantee one more year by triggering the option at least. Maybe Rashford might not rush things about extending his contract with the team. Because he heard about some interest by PSG before and he would like to wait to see if he will get any offer.

Manchester United are in talks with De Gea at the same time because his contract is ending next summer normally just as Rashford. De Gea is the most important part of the team now actually so they should do their best to convince him. If it wasn't for his great saves so far the team would have been in a much worse condition.

He has never had interest with the move to Paris Saint Germans, that was really initiated by his brother so Manchester United could raise his salary they had initially with him.
Erik Ten Hag has also cleared those talks about him saying they have long term plans with him ( Marcus Rashford ) he was indeed Manchester Uniteds pivot during the second season with Ole Gunner Solskjear but all didn't go as planned for that season as he got injured.

Good they want to keep David De Gea at Manchester United, he has been a good shot stopper not until the Introduction of Harry Maguire and some lazy defending. Chris Smalling loaned or sold was far better than H-M!

Reportedly Sergio Busquet will play in MLS. Barcelona have prepared money to find a replacement for Busquet if his decision to leave Barcelona is certain.
There are three names of players who are included in Barcelona's target list. The three candidates are Martin Zubimendi, Rodri, and Joshua Kimmich.
According to a report from Football Espana, Sergio Busquet will strengthen Inter Miami in MLS.
Busquet is already 34 years old, we can understand if he wants to leave Barcelona to MLS. Since Barcelona have some midfielders, I think Barcelona is not really needed (not urgent) for the new midfielder to change him. But if Barcelona thinks to sign a new defensive midfielder, I think Rodri or Kimmich are the best options.

Bayern really thought they could cope without a striker, not knowing that they are not used to it and badly for them, they are in dare need of a striker and strikers are scarce. The good ones are committed to their clubs for now, it will really be a long difficult season for Bayern if they don't figure out how to overcome this challenge.
January is too far but not too far. Too far because they are not sure Kane would be interested to join them, not too far calendar wise.

Yep, they thought wrongly.

They always played with a big number 9 in the mid of the attack.
Moving from Lewa in attack to no one to be like the Man City of the past years with no number 9, is not ad easy and fast change.

To be honest I think they could go for Lautaro Martinez next year.
Do you think that Bayern will not try to bring a player by the winter transfer window?
The situation there is quite critical. They aren't winning in most games as they used to do. I am even worried how they will perform in CL after group stage or even during it Undecided

Truly Thomas Tuchel has more experience in the Bundesliga and coaching a team again in the Bundesliga will be much easier because he already understands the league. It will be easier for settle in as a manager in Bayern Munich as he is familiar with the club and the hierarchy.

Harry Kane could really do exploits for Bayern Munich if the deal pulls through. Kane is an exceptional player who I strongly believe can strive and maintain top scoring form in any league on the world. For a team like Bayern who have very talented players including Sadio Mane, Musiala and Gnabry it will definitely be an atmosphere for Harry Kane to make impact, scoring a high amount of goals and strengthening the team.
The news about Kane will obviously make Tottenham a little threatened now because seeing a pretty good offer and the lure of getting a good place at Bayern is clearly tempting especially since the main position and targetman are clearly visible in this offer.
But we know the scheme that Tottenham always do when their star is glimpsed by other clubs and a few seasons ago City had to give up bringing him. It's not an easy thing to get Kane out of Tottenham now.

Selling Lewandowski is a thing of the past - there is no point in talking about how good it would be if he stayed or something like that. Now Nagelsmann has to work with what he has - either change the game plan, taking into account the fact that Bavaria does not have a center forward, or endure until the winter transfer window and buy Ronaldo (this will be the only option in winter). I don't see any other options given the state of the market and the frugality of Bavaria.
Agree with what you say because this has already happened and there is really no need to argue about it anymore because the most important thing now is that Nagelsmann has to rack his brain to make Bayern what it was a few seasons before.
At the moment his condition looks normal but this is quite serious for a team like Bayern because it is rare for them to get results like this in a row in one season.

It looks like Sergio Busquets will stop playing football and will enjoy his old age to rest or maybe also do business again as a football coach even though he is still not too old to be a soccer coach, but if he until now still hasn't shown where he will go because Sergio Busquets is still too in love with Barcelona. But usually those who are not extended at Barcelona will be targeted by other clubs, so it depends on whether Sergio Busquets wants to continue his football career or not.
Busquets is likely to leave Barcelona in the summer and continue his career in MLS. He said that it was important for him to play in the main team and I think that the amount of the contract is take not the last place in this choice. Many star players continue their careers in the MLS. Busquets has had a great career at Barcelona, he's been with the team since 2008 and I think of players like that that they should finish their career at the club where they spent their best time.
Sergio Busquets is surely one of the legendary players at Barcelona and now like Messi he also decided to leave this club after 14 years of his amazing performance but good thing most chances he is still going to play for some more years because he feels he can do this and his body is also allowing him to do this for some more years than it's good with this now he is transferring into MLS which is surely heaven for old players from UEFA having good money and some good last seasons in soccer, so he is also doing with this as CDM position now World Cup and then MLS surely going to be good for him in next few years and good money making portunities in MLS which is also important for player like Sergio Busquets.

Bayern Munich didn't accept the rumours regarding their interest in Harry Kane in the previous transfer window. Maybe they really didn't have such interest because they were believing that they would still do a good job without signing a new striker also. However after seeing their very poor performance about scoring goals, they must have changed their mind about this topic.

They are in immediate need of a credible striker now and it would be better for them to have a striker who can make a similar impact as Lewandowski in the team. Harry Kane is really the most sensible candidate for this role. It won't be easy for Bayern Munich to convince him and his team both for certain. I don't expect such transfer in January honestly. But I can't say anything about next summer because it depends on Tottenham's success this year. They are very promising for now but things might change later on.

I'm still not very sure about Conte's not renewing his contract with Tottenham for certain. Because depending on the success rate of the team maybe we might see the team and him reaching an agreement for a contract extension later in the season. For now things are going the way they want in the English Premier League. I believe they would start doing better in the Champions League as well. We would watch them qualifying from their group at worst.

Juventus will need to be patient and their priority should be fixing things without changing their manager I believe.
It makes sense for Conte to not sign a contract yet. I don't know what his preferences look like, but I think it is not unlikely that he would like to go back to Italy and if he does, the club he would probably want to coach is Juventus. So he is well advised to wait how things develop there and at the same time he could keep performing with Tottenham and ask for a higher salary when it comes to an extension of the contract. He is in a strong position when it comes to options and negotiations given how things are right now.
In start Conte was here at Tottenham just for one year but after having some positive response from team and management about few new players he extends his contract for one more year now it all depends on team performance because if they have enough results then surely we are going to have another extension otherwise most chances Conte will leave at the end of this season and there are good opportunities waiting for him in Italy even there is still chances he can stay here but as we know all he is looking for excellent results which will give him encouragement for staying here.

But, now as rumors are working around most chances if he has no good results then surely he is going to be not extension and leaving at the end of this season which will give him better opportunity at few Italian clubs which are currently not performing good and looking for him at the end of this season.

Sergio Busquets is one of Barcelona's senior players
Busquets has been a favorite in the Barcelona team for a long time, even in the last two seasons his contribution is very reliable where he has play a role in 36 match out of a total of 38 matches each season.
Circulating news Busquets will not sign a new contract after his contract expires next summer with Barcelona. This will be an a farewell that is hard to forget because Busquets has been a part of FC Barcelona for the last 15 years including with the reserve team of FC Barcelona or Barcelona B at the start of his career in 2007

It looks like FC Bayern is interested in signing Tottenham's Harry Kane. FC Bayern is said to have contacted the player and advised him to wait with a contract extension until Bayern has made an offer for him. After the departure of Robert Lewandowski, FC Bayern has an urgent need for a striker - Mané has (unfortunately) not yet been able to meet the high demands. So that the discussions about another striker at FC Bayern are currently increasing strongly.

Harry Kane at Bayern? Would absolutely love that! What about you guys?  Cheesy

Interesting and that is coming from a strong source too. Kane has contract until 2024 so still quite some years but its a difficult one. Kane is a crucial player for Spurs and Spurs might be holding with the contract extension as world cup is coming and player is focused on that. Possible that Spurs might open contract extension discussions once world cup is over as they are also aware of Bayern's interest.  

I have some doubts. First of all I believe that Kane is forming a great relationship with Conte and like his plans for the Spurs future so it will be hard to convince the player to not sign the extension. Secondly, Kane is 29 right now and by the time his contract expires he will be 31 but yeah he will come for free but still Bayern has to wait 2 years for Kane. I don't think thats an immediate solution for the striker problem they are facing right now.

In my opinion, they are not using him in right position. Mane is comfortable in playing on left wing so he is not an exact replacement of Lewandowski to begin with. Yes he has played in striker role but he can give his best playing on wing. But if they want him as a striker then allow him some time to adjust. With recent results, it seems they definitely don't have time so best is to find a good striker.

Losing Lewandowski is indeed a big loss for Bayern Munich but I don't think this can be considered a mistake because Lewandowski really wanted to leave Bayern Munich and if Bayern did everything they could to keep Lewandowski at Munich, I think it can affect Lewandowski's performance and motivation in playing football (it could be that Bayern Munich's performance is much worse than it is now). So when an agreement has been reached, all Bayern Munich needs to do is find a player to replace Lewandowski.
There is no doubt Lewandowski was amazing player for Bayern Munich but now it's past because we all know Bayern Munich try their best for keeping him, but he was not agreed about this so now talking about him is not worth as he is doing good job for Barcelona and Bayern Munich is also not bad at all, but they are trying to give time few players for better adjustment and having better results which is surely going to work even it's going to take time but if things could not be as they wanted then surely we are going to have few changes in this team in coming days.

Their current form in Bundesliga is surely not as they were in last few years as new players are fail to convert their chances into goals which is surely a big concern for them with current coach Nagelsmann strategy is also under criticism he needs to do some changes otherwise most chances we are going to have changes in this winter with new coach as well.

Robert Lewandowski is a very successful football player, but he is a football player who is already a candidate for retirement. He is 34 years old. He can play football for maybe 3 more years at the most. We should also add to the discussion that his performance will decrease every year due to his advanced age. Bayern Munich sold him and made money. I think they did a very clever job.

Sadio Mané will not create a Robert Lewandowski effect. But he will be an alternative for Bayern Munich's squad depth for 5 more years. If Bayern Munich could fill the void of Robert Lewandowski with Haaland, we would accept that they had a good future planning. It must have been frustrating for them that they couldn't convince Haaland. Cheesy
