I would be really surprised if this rumor would turn out to be true. After all Liverpool already had to let Mane go to Bayern this summer and even though they have bought Darwin Nunez as basically the replacement for Mane this would still mean that they would be again one offensive player short if Firmino would leave the club. I also doubt that Liverpool is able or willing to invest another big amount of money to sign a replacement for Firmino then because they already had to pay 75 Million € for Nunez and this number could even go up to 100 Million if all bonuses have to be paid. So i doubt they could make another transfer of 50 M€ or more.

I agree, Liverpool wouldn't want to lose another striker, moreover Nunez hasn't been so great on the Pre-Season and liverpool does not have many choice for their forward. I have not heard any rumor that Klop aim on any striker. The transfer fee of €22 million is still too low for Firmino, Liverpool will definitely ask more than that for Firmino.
Liverpool has played 3 pre-season matches this year, from the 3 matches played by Liverpool, they only got one win and received two defeats, most likely Liverpool will lose Firmino because Firmino is aware that he is no longer a priority, he wants playing minutes and he also wants a main place in the squad, because Firmino is still very ambitious to be able to play in the Brazil squad at this year's world cup in Qatar, although liferpol doesn't want to let Firmino out at 20 million euros, but I'm sure Firmino is no longer happy in the squad Liverpool, because jorgen klopp believes more in nunes and Luis Dias, so when there was an offer from Juventus, Firmino was very happy.

It's looking obvious that no big team wants to take Cristiano out of that Manchester United for now
It's better to stay at United, help them compete for the Europa League title, and help Erik rekindle United's lost glory.
Missing a season is not a problem. Nobody will catch up.

It is actually very clear that big teams have to think about three things if they want to get Ronaldo out of Manchester United at this time, first about his salary and the second is about transfer fees which are not like ordinary players and the last is Ronaldo who is no longer young. Maybe because of these three things, there are no big teams that want to remove Ronaldo from Manchester United at this time.

That is if he will lower his salary and how possible will it be that the acclaimed GOAT will be in a club and another person earns more than him. This is the problem Ronaldo is facing. It is obvious Manchester United is not willing to lose him either but he didn't help the new manager, his departure would have distracted the young man if not that he is determined.

On the other hand, number 7 is not his problem. Any clubs he joins, whoever that has number 7 will be willing to give it to Ronaldo, maybe except Mbappe in PSG.

Let's wait for Mendes to sort out the new contract, make it quick and stop getting rejected

Rumors of Firmino's transfer to Juventus have been circulating in recent days and I think Liverpool will also consider the offer. Liverpool have some good players this season but maybe they still need Firmino but I don't know what they think because there is a possibility about another new player if Firmino moves to Juventus.

Of course it's not easy to get good players under 50M, it's difficult. Liverpool have to spend more money to get good players especially if it's a striker, I imagine Antony as an example.

Many things in the transfer market did not benefit Chelsea, the players who were targeted even mostly chose Barcelona. In fact, from a financial point of view, Chelsea dominates over Barcelona. Turns out it's not all about finances. For example, Chelsea wanted Lewandowski, Rhapinha, Dembele to extend his contract, then Christensen was even free to transfer to Barcelona. Thinking about it so far in the pre-season Barcelona have been lucky with poor finances but still can fulfill the expected squad.

Marina would have handled all of those deals smoothly, who I blame for all of those failed deals is the new Chelsea's owner.
Looking at how they have failed, they will also find it difficult to cope in the Premier League. They found it difficult winning games during the Pre-season. Tuchel made a clear list of players he wanted but not all have been provided for the Chelsea squad. For me, I think Chelsea will find it difficult in the midfield. Defense looking solid but attacking players especially a nine is muchly needed.
Luck was not on Chelsea's side in the transfer market this season, I don't know what happened to Chelsea so it was very difficult to get the player he wanted. Surprisingly, every player Chelsea is targeting prefers to join Barcelona, ​​even though, economically Chelsea is much better than Barcelona. As was the case with Raphinha, Lewandowski and Kounde, these three players will be paid more than Barcelona are offering, but the money from Chelsea seems to have no value in these three players.

Chelsea must immediately move to find other players to strengthen their team, While rivals Chelsea are very active in the transfer market, Liverpool, Man City and Arsenal have strengthened their teams with several new faces in their squad. If Chelsea is unable to sign players before the transfer window closes, there is no guarantee that Thomas Tuchel side can compete at the top of the table.

Scandal Profi Balotelli is back. +10 years ago he had his great successes, he win the Champions League with Inter Mailand 2010. Agreements between Adana Demirspor and FC Sion are intense. The price for the transfer fee has already been discussed. Balotelli still has a contract until 2024 and he has scored 18 goals in 31 games, so he currently plays good soccer. With 31 years he can still play for 2-3 years. Maybe we will see him soon in Switzerland.
The career of Balotelli really was a rollercoaster ride so far. Around 10 years ago he was literally on the top after he scored both goals for Italy in the semifinal of the Euro 2012 against Germany. Sadly it seems like that whole fame and attention that he got back then was maybe to much for him, because after that most of the time Balotelli was in the news for negative stuff that he did like extremely stupid fouls that gave him a red card again which made him miss big parts of the season and other stupid actions that are just not really understandable from outside.
I hope the transfer to Sion happens and that Balotelli can show his talent again for a few seasons.

Mario Balotelli was a talented player once but he had to face a lot of problems throughout his career. And he was a target for a lot of racist people, which had a lot of effect on his game. We saw him playing really poorly even when he was in good form. This was because he was unable to concentrate because the fans shouted racist stuff at him.

I think he will still live for at least three years more. There was news that he’s going to go to Juventus but I think we all remember how he was racially abused throughout the whole match by Juventus fans. So that seems like a rumor.

Firmino is in his last contract year and will be able to leave on a free transfer in the summer, but I still feel it would be a mistake to allow him to leave.

If we do that, we would have to bring another player in (or rely more heavily on Elliott/Carvalho combination) - but the issue is that Firmino is a specific type of player with huge experience.

I wouldn't feel comfortable changing more players in our offensive line - we have already made a significant one. Firmino did not even play much last season though and was often behind both Diaz and Jota, so the club might actually feel that getting some money now might be a good business strategy.

When it comes to Ronaldo he is said to be wishing to be released on free by Manchester United now. But the team don't want to do such thing of course. I don't know how much credible this rumour is but it is of course known that he wants to leave. But he isn't going anywhere as we don't see any team going for him at the moment. The Atletico Madrid rumour has also turned out to be false as it seems. It is time for Ronaldo to focus on the Premier League from now on.
I don't think that he wants to be released for free, it's completely unreasonable. There is always a contract that must be strictly adhered to, otherwise there may be sanctions. Regarding the rumors that have been related to Ronaldo, indeed it has always been broken by the statement of the team in question. That is the end of the rumor itself in my opinion. And true, maybe he should lower his ego a bit.

The Premier League is indeed the best league there, but it's not friendly there for players who can't adjust quickly, as a result they slump in their first season and will quickly be sold or loaned out. Ramsey is indeed a quality player but looking at it now will he be able to compete with Premier League players who are in the same team? I doubt it a little, unless he is the only player in that position.
In the Premier League every player does have a special challenge in terms of playing because it is true as you say that if a player who is not able to adjust himself faster and play better, then that player will not stay at the club for long and is always more close to the transfer market unless his contract period is still long with the club. But that does not mean the player will not be sold if he does not have the desired performance.

Luis Suarez has officially re-joined his first club Nacional in his native Uruguay. The transfer was officially made on Wednesday, although the length of the contract was not disclosed.
I sincerely apologize that I did not formalize my thought in the right way. I know and understand perfectly well that Suarez signed a contract with the club Nacional from Uruguay, where he started his career, and if you believe the rumors, then for a period before the start of the World Cup. I just remember the statements of Suarez, who said that the priority for him is to continue his career in Europe and it seems that there were also such proposals, and therefore I was surprised that all these negotiations did not lead to anything and Suarez still went to play in his homeland.

Barcelona won't be interested in Fofana, this player seems just an average player for them. Barcelona only wants to sign an experienced player. Currently, Barcelona builds their squad for a short-term goal (winning the titles of UCL/La Liga/Copa del Rey). To get an instant impact for their squad quality, Barcelona ideally signs experienced players only. Fofana is still 21 years old and seems not strong enough to improve Barcelona defense.

Still not enough and stopping from transfer player for Barcelona after success getting Sevilla defender Jules Kounde and right now have new target with young defender from Leicester City Wesley Fofana. I think will make Barcelona most completed if success get Wesley Fofana because now they have Jules Kounde as central defender and make Wesley Fofana become right defender. Looks crazy when thinking about Barcelona in transfer window because spent much money when they have issues can't pay fully for senior player salary, still with another rumor were Barcelona faced financial crisis but unbelievable they can get many players in this time window transfer.

I still consider the Ronaldo and Atletico rumors a joke to this day.
As for him now, it is reported that he has returned to Manchester with his agent to discuss his future but there has been no further confirmation on this and it is certain that speculation about his departure will continue in the days or weeks before the transfer window ends.

I have said it right from the start that Ronaldo doesn’t want to take a pay cut, and it’s evidently clear that no champions league club wants him therefore I feel that Manchester United should not budge. Lastly even if he leaves then too we’ll be better, but if he stays then maybe Ten Hag will have to make changes cause he can’t press like Ten Hag wants.
But to say a pay cut I saw some media reporting that he was willing to drop 485 Pounds per week to around 300 thousand Pounds there, although indeed this is still very big for clubs who are currently experiencing financial difficulties.

When discussing it with clear emphasis this will not end well especially for a player of Ronaldo's class so I feel this way will not suit him and Ten Hag must do something else that makes more sense than doing this.

Luis Suarez has officially re-joined his first club Nacional in his native Uruguay. The transfer was officially made on Wednesday, although the length of the contract was not disclosed.
After more than 15 years he returns to his home, which I think is a good decision by Suarez and the club. He is now coming back and can hopefully tell his story to old friends and motivate them and bring his club forward. He has cancelled two clubs in America for this. With 35 years, he will not play at a level for champions league. I think that he is still active in the club after his active soccer career.

Now most chances Ronaldo is going to be stayed here at Manchester United without Champions League because Atlético Madrid also having not enough funded for this transfer and after this there is no other options available for him to go for Champions League even Manchester United management already give him green signal for this. Atlético Madrid needs to offload few high salary players if they want to have Ronaldo, but they are also having some trouble for this which is creating mess up with this all most chances now they are also giving up about this transfer and trying to stay in their limits.

Now he needs to do some positive part in Manchester United rebuilding process because here he can play a good role for their better chances into next season's higher spot with place in Champions League.
