Chelsea made attempt to bring in a new centre back but RB Leipzig have not intention of letting go of the Croatian international. Todd Boehly's not giving up on this deal as binds a swap deal with Timo Werner loan deal but let's see how it goes because it all depends on the possible discussion between the two club. Chelsea are seriously in need of a centre back because their is big space at their defense line and looks like these young Players might find it difficult to fitin on time.

Really don't know what's up with Chelsea's owner.
With how it's going I don't know how Chelsea will cope with new player's.
That team isn't looking as sharp as it should be if you ask me

gvardiol is a good option that chelsea can choose, reportedly both teams (chelsea and leipzig) have almost reached a final decision.
Don't know where you read that or whether it was a rumour or conflicting sources reporting that but AFAIK the deal was rejected by Leipzig.
That deal included an exchange of Werner, nevertheless, Leipzig agreed with him separately to cut his wage and the only remaining thing is to see the asked price by Chelsea.
For Chelsea, they have to find an alternative, again... There is Fofana but PSG is looking for him too and there is Pavard which is available for sale once Chelsea made an interesting offer for Bayern.

It's really hard to guess how Barcelona can sign expensive players, even though they are still facing a financial crisis, and there is still a possibility that they will encounter an issue because they still have to register these new players. I guess someone will be sacrificed here, whether it's selling some players or reducing their salary. Well even though it won't be easy (like De Jong who insisted he didn't want to be released to Man United), I think Barcelona will work on it.
Barcelona have forced themselves to spend too much in this transfer window where they spent 135 million as reported by Transfermarkt. It may not make sense to most people because at the same time they are going through a bad financial crisis. But somehow they are optimistic enough to be able to balance the situation even though they have to kick several players in order to register other players.

I watched their game against NRB, it was a good game for the Barcelona players but it's a shame Lewandowski again missed his goal opportunity. Dembele, Raphinha played well and that is the best thing this season. Dembele seems to be scoring more and more goals and he is starting to feel comfortable playing in various positions. I hope he can perform better this season especially because he is supported by other players who are also no less good.

Even though Barcelona has made some really smart transfers this season, I am still skeptical that they will be able to do something truly incredible. To me, doing something really incredible means winning the La Liga title and the Champions League title. That is the only way they will be able to make sense of all the money that they have spent this season.

And I absolutely know that Robert Lewandowski is going to have to be the one to score the bulk of goals, the same thing he did when he played for Bayern Munich. Otherwise, Barcelona is most likely to find things really difficult for them. Barcelona had a problem regarding the defensive line. But they did make some upgrades. I just think Barcelona risked it too much.

if barcelona did not take the risk of bringing in good players, in the next seasons they would be fighting to stay in the 2, 3 and 4 position or they would be fighting not to be relegated, this cycle would not make them get out of the financial crisis, on the contrary many good players would leave the team because they see that the team is not fighting to win the league and champions league and is going through a financial crisis. In order to attract partners, investors, sponsors, the team needs to have good players who attract a lot of attention and win big things like La Liga and the Champions League. Of course they might not win this season, but next season they might be able to win

Don't be surprised, Timo Werner has flop at Chelsea...

good players when they arrive at chelsea they fail, we have an example of lukaku, but now that lukaku is back in inter he is playing well. something that makes me question what's wrong with chelsea

Barcelona was selling more television broadcast rights to get more funding. I would not feeling surprised to see that if there are so many questions about the financial of barcelona. The financial of barcelona can't be called as good as it was before. It must have sold more rights to pay off the debt and buying the players.
They are actually very concentrated on the upcoming season and indeed I think this is a step that is too much because they sold almost half of their stake to get fresh funds and can bring in a few players now in the hope of returning as soon as possible for next season.
Their target does not seem grandiose for next season because with the current composition the title is the target they must get.

losing rudiger and christensen is the biggest loss for chelsea because last season they both performed amazingly in the chelsea defense sector. because kounde chose to go to barcelona then gvardiol is a good option that chelsea can choose, reportedly both teams (chelsea and leipzig) have almost reached a final decision.

—— I have actually been very surprised by the news that Timo Werner is joining RB Leipzig with a 50% pay cut. This was surely a forced decision to leave Chelsea. I expected him to move to a bigger and better team, to be honest. But this is also not an entirely bad move. They finished fourth in the last season.

Don't be surprised, Timo Werner has flop at Chelsea but just because he's a lovable guy, we the Chelsea fans aren't turning against him as we did against Lukaku. Timo Werner is ready to work hard but luck hasn't just been on his side. With the new season starting soon, he's unlikely to have a shot at playing. We just bought sterling and given a shirt number to Michy Batshuayi clearly sent a message to Romo Werner that his service won't be needed this season especially as we can't risk having someone that misses clear scoring opportunity, atleast with sterling he does score.

Batshuayi and Kai havertz would probably lead the attack so Timo Werner isn't favorite at the striker position. In the wings we have Christian Pulisic, Hakim Ziyech, Callum Hudson-Odoi and other midfielder we could use in that position so he isn't favorites as well and him moving would be the best assurance of getting better play time so his move is understandable, hopefully he succeed over there

Tottenham are still after Memphis Depay but they haven't made any offer for him officially yet. I don't expect Barcelona to make any difficulties about this deal as they are also willing to sell him immediately. They need to start from somewhere to make their finance better. They wouldn't be able to make a huge profit in this transfer of course but it would be a start. Depay has been ready for joining a strong team so I don't expect him to reject Tottenham.
Memphis doesnt want to leave barcelona , but the club would just fine if he look for somewhere else .. and now it seems makes memphis depay feel unwanted and uncomfortable , guess what? It's reported that juventus silently approaching him which it's gonna be a wild wild transfer window for barcelona and juventus this season.

I dont see tottenham are really in an intense interest .

You know, I think it's better to go to Juventus than to endure this attitude from Barcelona, the team that needs the player himself. They tell him directly that they do not need him, so if I were Memphis, I would consider a move to another club, and Juventus is a very good option, I think he would be welcome there
Barcelona plays it really dirty.

I mean how the freak they signed the likes lewy .. rapinha , kessie & kounde within a month while disrespecting players like de jong and memphis just they have a replacement already.
There is no sense in it but evil acts around barcelona management.
Leave and show barcelona completely wrong.
I wish they did it.

Real Madrid have enquired about the availability of Chelsea's Albania striker Armando Broja, 20, who impressed on loan at Southampton last season. Very interesting news. Is Real already preparing for the era after Benzema?
Chelsea's Germany forward Timo Werner, 26, has accepted a 50% pay cut to rejoin RB Leipzig - and a loan fee with a purchase clause is being discussed. This is also a bit of surprising news to me as it looked like he was either going to stay at Chelsea or move to another big club this summer, I think some big Spanish clubs were mentioned?
Barcelona's Memphis Depay, 28, is among Juventus' options for a new attacking option along with Werner and Atletico Madrid's Spain striker Alvaro Morata, 29, but there have been no direct talks between Tottenham and the Netherlands forward. Juve have done a very good job with transfers this summer and are clearly preparing to return to the top of Italian football.
Manchester City have denied they are willing to sell Portugal midfielder Bernardo Silva, 27, to Barcelona after reports his departure could fund a deal for Lyon's Brazil midfielder Lucas Paqueta. Does this mean that Silva is staying in Manchester or is it just a negotiating tactic?  Cheesy
Barcelona president Joan Laporta says there is a "strong possibility" Manchester United target Frenkie de Jong will stay at the club and he will "do my best" to keep the Netherlands midfielder. So, in the end, Jong succeeded in his plan to stay in Barcelona?

Sooner or later, Real Madrid will have to prepare for that next era after Benzema. So I think they are already starting the process.

—— I have actually been very surprised by the news that Timo Werner is joining RB Leipzig with a 50% pay cut. This was surely a forced decision to leave Chelsea. I expected him to move to a bigger and better team, to be honest. But this is also not an entirely bad move. They finished fourth in the last season.

—— Juventus is making some wise transfers. And I really like that they are taking decisions by staying under the radar. So the players that they are targeting are not being chased by a lot of other things which can increase the value. Still no clear news. But they are obviously on a hunt.

—— It is actually quite difficult to say about Bernardo Silva because I don't believe that Barcelona is willing to spend more money this season. But at the same time, we have seen unexpected things happen. But personally, I think this player is going to stay in Manchester City.

—— So, my question is what is going to happen about the pay cut? Frankie De Jong has agreed to take the pay cut or is Barcelona not even offering him a pay cut if he stays with them?

The riddle about Cristiano Ronaldo I think is now in the final that he will stay at Manchester United. From Manchester United's official social media uploads, he seems to have rejoined the team. And that I think is enough to answer our curiosity about the very strong rumors about him. We will see him play for Manchester United next season.

Going back to training with the team doesn't have to mean Cristiano Ronaldo will stay at Manchester United. There can still be many negotiations behind the scenes. Of course, in my opinion, it would be best for him to stay there, but as always, the most important thing will be money, I mean whether he received any interesting offers.

Ronaldo didn't only return to training with Manchester United, he has also featured in Manchester United last pre season match in Spain with Roy Vallecano. Ronaldo was featured among young and second team players in the match. Which I believe that because he has been absent in other fixtures and majority of the players have passed their assessments test. Remaining Ronaldo and the new Eriksen and Martinez.
Suprsingly Ronaldo didn't get a goal in the first half, as soon as he was subbed for Diallo A who returned from loan, the young player got the first goal of the match. We are about 60mins into the match.
I will likely update what the full score will be like.

Gabriel Slonina is a potential goalkeeper I think at a very young age, but in this case I actually still feel that Chelsea are just wasting their money on this transfer.
At the moment Mendy is still quite tactical in their defense even though he is 30 years old but it is quite clear that he will still be the main choice for now.

I don't think so, If you could recall last season Mendy had a stressful season he almost keep in all the Chelsea's matches both important and unimportant matches while kepa was still there, In my humble opinion Mendy need an assistant ,So they made a wise move in getting the young goal keeper to support Mendy in case of possible injury or just saving him the stress of keeping in some minor games. I really love Chelsea when it comes to signing of keepers they got the eye in selecting quality goal keeper,  still believe that this young keeper is gonna be great keeper if everything is done.

Arsenal boss, Mikel Arteta have been always happy and proud of his new striker, Gabriel Jesus who recorded an hattrick against Sevilla in their friendly game. Mikel building a squad full with Young players below 30 is a good one for the team. Saka, Martinelli and Jesus will impressed the club with their brilliant performance this new season and they ought to reach their ultimate target which is to qualify for top four. Mikel Arteta aiming to win trophies this new season and compete with tough teams in the Premier league.
Gabriel Jesus have impressive performance on pre season match with Arsenal and looks he not waste Arsenal money after pay higher transfer values from Manchester City, no doubt with his performance not only with Arsenal on pre season match but also Gabriel Jesus most ever scoring goals for Manchester City last several years. I think he need proof about his talented and make Manchester City disappointed have sold him to Arsenal by keep consistent scoring goals on Primer League. I think not really important with how many goals success scored by Gabriel Jesus on pre season match but we need waiting about how many goals scoring on Primer League.

Newcastle are seriously interested in signing James Maddison now. Leicester have a price tag for him like at least 50 million pounds. Newcastle's last offer for him was 40 million pounds and Leicester turned it down as a result. Newcastle shouldn't give up on signing him of course as the gap is not too big for them now. They have a huge amount of money to spend and Maddison is one of the really good players who are worth it. Leicester are trying to keep him by offering a contract extension on one hand.

I think this is going to be beyond our understanding. For sure, it's beyond my knowledge. A team that is in absolute debt and probably 1.5 billion dollars in debt. I have no idea how they have managed to spend so much money. I really hope they will be able to do something good in the next season. I do believe the board actually trusted the new coach Xavi Hernandez. That’s why he was able to afford the luxury of spending so much in this transfer market. I think now they should be strong enough to give Real Madrid a good fight for the title. And if they can beat Real Madrid, it will be easy for Barcelona to win the league. But I am still not expecting too much from them in the Champions League.

There is a version that the Super League can arise at any moment, so Barcelona is trying to be ready for such a turn of events. Otherwise, these expenses look irrational - they are unlikely to get around Real Madrid (that is, Barcelona will remain in the same place where it was - in second place), and even more so to win the Champions League.

What you write is of course probable, but in my opinion it is too early to be able to talk about it for sure. If the team changes prove to be successful, it is possible to swap between Real Madrid and Barcelona places in the La Liga table. Barcelona lacked effectiveness in the attack, and after the recent sparring matches, it can be concluded that the new strikers can change this situation a lot.
we can't say it now just looking at their game in pre-season, Barcelona have improved a lot and I have no doubt that they will be even stronger under coach Xavi next season, look at what Xavi has done when he arrived in the second half of last season, many changes he has made and it is not impossible that he will do something better or better next season to put them above Real Madrid.

That's exactly what I meant. All in all, I am surprised that despite the fact that Barcelona, as we all know, have financial problems, the management of the club decided to take such a bold step and made several big transfers. In my opinion, this squad has a very good chance of changing the balance of power in La Liga.

Brighton are very insistent about demanding at least 50 million pounds for Cucurella from Manchester City. This situation is closing to a dead end as long as Manchester City don't make a compromise. I still don't understand why Manchester City are this much stubborn too. They don't have any money problem now and they seem very eager to sign him also. Then they should decide to pay this amount and sign him. They literally don't have a single left-back in the team now.
Marc Cucurella is one good Leftback Brighton have at the moment, so them letting him leave the team would create a big vacancy on the position in the team. On the other hand, Manchester city seriously needyhe player on their side because their is big gap in the defense line. Pep Guardiola have already mark out Marc Cucurella as his priority in the transfer window. Brighton might be recalcitrant to accept any bid below £50m. The Leftback only wants City move and he's saying no to any other bids
