I think Di Maria has always been in the shadow of other players in his team. In the Argentine national team you always have Messi, of course, no name can compete with that. Aguero had you there too. He didn't do badly at Real Madrid, but you'll never be a striker if Ronaldo is in your team too. He wasn't bad at United, but I don't think he was able to show his best there. He only got really good later on. Now at PSG, he also has the problem of playing in a team with Messi, Neymar and Mbappe again. Then you are basically 4th choice.
It will definitely be difficult being in spot light when you are playing with these players of this pedigree, these players are like gods they have the ability to keep you on the bench for as long as they stay in the club. I think it will be much better for Di Maria at Juventus, there he would play with players on same level and will have opportunity to shine and stay relevant in the team again.

Ronaldo is still not attending trainings for Manchester United at the moment. He has just made up his mind already about leaving at the earliest opportunity now. The most serious interests are from Chelsea and Napoli curently seemingly. Chelsea seem to be more interested lately however his salary might cause both of Chelsea and Napoli to think twice about this deal too. Because his current weekly salary is 510k pounds already. I don't think he would accept a huge pay cut also.
For De Ligt, Bayern seems to be the closer one to sign him. Chelsea almost abandoned that idea and are turning towards De Jong which will cost them a lot unless they agree to a swap deal to reduce the cost. Of course, Chelsea still have to fix their defence line. There is Kimpembe that might be available since PSG agreed on his departure if they find a good deal ~€60m..
Yes, it looks like FC Bayern is going to get there 2 center defenders some support. Lucas Hernandez and Upamecano are young and good players, on the outside right / left Bayern is well positioned, there I think they need no new player. I think the deal makes sense and Bayern gets him now for the defense. One Goalgetter, one in midfield and one as a right defender is already there. And now one for the center defense.Juventus is looking really sharp for next season. I think they are now with all of these signings the main favorites by far for winning the serie a title. With Pogba they will complete the midfield and will have a really good player for the upcoming season
They are favorites already for Italian Seria A in the coming season.
Imagine the combo of Paul Pogba Did Maria and Chiesa all together.
Also that player they signed from Sassuolo last season.
Vlahovic likely to be the highest goal scoring player next season at Italy.

But they let Dybala go and replaced him with Di Maria. Dan sell Mandragora to Fiorentina and plans to replace it with pogba.
I just saw Di Maria officially join Juventus on a free transfer, Juventus gave the former PSG player a one-season contract. At first I thought Pogba would come first but I was wrong
So there are already two names that have officially joined Juventus, Chiesa and Di Maria.

And now one for the center defense.The defensive line of Bayern Munich is in shambles. They seriously need a defender very quickly. Otherwise, it is going to be a big problem for them in the next season. I don’t think money is going to be too much of a problem for Bayern Munich because they are winning the league title almost every time And I think they have enough money to get a defender that they want. And right now with Chelsea eying another player, it is going to be better for Bayern Munich to get the player. I think de Ligt is going to be insane in Bayern Munich. And honestly, I think it is just a matter of time before Bayern Munich finalizes the transfer.

This evening Juventus had a lot of meeting and this is the situation.
Di Maria will come to Italy tomorrow.
Pogba will come Saturday.
Today Juventus pushed for Koulibaly from Napoli and Zaniolo from Milan and Arnautovic (back up player)

Pogba is a very good signing but only for Juventus, where the club already knows how to use him and what he's really capable of. And it's a free transfer too and he's just 29 years old.
Juve bought him for cheap from United then sold him back with a high price tag and now they're getting him back again for free. Lolol.Anyway, what's the news on De Ligt? A week ago I heard he's going to Chelsea, now it's Bayern Munich. I think he could be a good signing for United. Maguire sucks.
Complete deal for Paul Pogba would be completely done on Saturday. He's still got all of everything we do know about Paul Pogba. Exactly the one that won the league with Antonio Conte and with France.
Getting a proper Defensive Midfielder behind him to recover those balls and free Paul Pogba upfront to make good, great and decent ball delivery.
De Ligt currently pressured by Bayern Munich, higher chances of getting him are from the Bundesliga Champions.
To Manchester United? Lol I'm still patient on how Erik Ten Hag deals with Harry Maguire situation at Manchester United coz he's Subpar and not just good enough for Manchester United.
It's unlikely that Chelsea are much interested in Ronaldo as they are in frenkie de jong. Truth be told, Ronaldo is good and has a lot to offer any club but I think his input will be much appreciated at a less competitive club like Chelsea. Another factor tuchel is probably considering is his age and the fact that he is nearing the end of his career. He is too valuable a player to be prized at £15m! It's quite embarrassing that with his calibre, clubs are not falling over themselves to get his signature.
I doubt that Chelsea is even interested in signing Cristiano Ronaldo. I mean it definitely makes sense to discuss the transfer of such extremely skilled and effective striker but just because you are thinking about something does not mean that you are really wanting to sign him in the end. It is the same with Bayern Munich. It is also pretty much confirmed now that Ronaldo also was a topic that was discussed at Bayern Munich but in the end they decided to not try to sign him, which was a good decision in my opinion. Yes Ronaldo is a still a great player but not the best in the world anymore and he still wants to be paid like he is the best.
Another rumor Chelsea success reach personal agreement with Raheem Sterling from Manchester City and looks Ronaldo transfer will close. If Chelsea success get Sterling I don't think keep need Cristiano Ronaldo on forward position. After losing Lukaku, Chelsea still not find with new central forward bit Sterling ability to play on Lukaku position or have option with right and left side of winger. Not close opportunity before finding new central forward Chelsea will make alternative option with Cristiano Ronaldo transfer, but all it depending with Thomas Tuchel need to get Ronaldo or not.I doubt that Chelsea is even interested in signing Cristiano Ronaldo.

Chelsea are also making plans for Nathan Ake of Man City.
They Chelsea needs to replace Rudiger as fast as possible. Ronaldo to Chelsea is a no no don't think about it happening.

Yes, I would also say they are a favourite. But of course other teams like Milan, Inter and Napoli have the same chance to win the title. I don't think Milan will be too bad to be favorites this season even though Juventus look better about the quality of their team.Milan, Inter and Napoli will not be too disappointed to be called title contenders. This team has done very well to be in the top 4, Milan remains my favourite but will not underestimate the power of Juventus. Regarding transfers, I hope that some of the players who come can contribute well this season. Origi and Messias are expected to help this team until the end of the season.
I don't know much about how Barcelona tried to get out of a bad financial situation. Obviously there are some things they managed to do to minimize the problem, but it's not quite done yet.
They have done various ways to minimize their finances starting from looking for free transfer players and selling some of their broadcasting rights and shares but it seems this is still not enough because they are still very difficult to control at this time especially with some of their wishes about some players which are actually quite difficult to get.

Right now their biggest problem is this debit and few days back I read they have 700 Million with the sell of television rights which was good for them but still they are fighting hard for this debit because this can create many problems for them even they can face some plenty from Soccer Federation.
But, now they are having some better strategy even it's not easy for them, but they are trying to sell few players with their debit hopefully this will work for them, and they are able to have some relief with this because recently they have few offer from different clubs for players, and they are working on this if it's turn in their favor surely they will feel good but still debit is huge and their income in not enough for settling this.
Just because of this they are working on squad strength which will bring few trophies and better contracts in future for them.

The transfers they have made so far are considered good because they seem to prioritize free players so far. Aubameyang, Crhistensen, Alves, Kessie are some of the names that are obtained for free and are good steps from the Barcelona management so far. Sooner or later Barcelona will come out of their financial troubles, so I think they are doing quite well now that they are on the right track.
It seems that the sale of television rights gives Barcelona the necessary money to quickly improve the financial situation, however, I do not know what the status of this deal is and what the payment schedule for this contract is. Judging by such ridiculous news, Barcelona had a cash gap - even if their total debts do not exceed their assets, but the cash flows are such that Barcelona has no liquidity.

Juventus will be highly competitive next season, they've made impressive signings and they're looking pretty solid, Inter Milan too have made impressive signings while AC Milan have not been super active yet.
Juventus also lost some good players; losing Giorgio Chelili, Dybala, Federico Bernardeschi, and Federico Chiesa in a single season will be difficult, and they will soon lose De Ligt. Pogba and Di Maria were both signed as free agents.Ac Milan is also making moves, despite the fact that they did not lose any players from their title-winning team last season.
Quote
Chelsea is also said to be closing on signing Nathan Akè, as per Fabrizio Romano on Twitter, personal terms have been agree but Chelsea haven't made an official offer yet.
A fee of £43m is too much 
Juventus continues to make breakthroughs by bringing in new players to strengthen their squad, and as I suspected so far, if juventus doesn't seem to have a lot of funds after buying vlanhovic previously at a high price, so they use a player barter strategy and also recruit free players to strengthen his current team, the arrival of Pogba, Di Maria and also Paredes prove that Juventus strategy in this season transfer market is quite effective, even without spending money but managed to get players who maybe to give a big contribution to Juventus next season.
The holding of Juventus (Exor owned by the president and family is a multibillion $ holding) has a lot of money, the point is if they can / want to spend in Juventus.
It's not a hindrance if he can contribute to chelsea, but what happened chelsea was not like a striker shortage just because Lukaku left to inter, and chelsea has just launched young player Armando Broja from the u-23 so it's not the right time to think about ronaldo. I also slightly doubt he will agree to join a team from the same league or current rival club

I don't think that it would be realistic for PSG to sign Lewandowski. It is just a rumour of course but I don't see it logical. Because they are in no need of a striker currently. They have Mbappe playing as the only striker of the team in the lineup generally. His substitute is another solid striker like Icardi. They would have serious problems if they increase the alternatives with one of the greatest strikers like Lewandowski. You just can't make him wait in the subs in the end.
Right now PSG have completed forward position with Lionel Messi, Neymar and Mbappe, I think try to get Robert Lewandowski is not really good option depending who third of PSG forward have out from regular player. I don't think with PSG still need new central forward like Robert Lewandowski. But most excited team formation if PSG success make transfer and try to get Lewandowski from Bayern Munich. We can see Lewandowski as central forward and Lionel Messi will move become attacking midfielder.The more strikers there are, the less it looks good if you look at PSG for all their development. For some reason I think it sounds like an unstable competition between players who want to stand out from the rest. After all, in the world of football and having a place as the best player, PSG strikers can compete behind the scenes. There is a possibility that the ego among the players still wants to show that they are the best. Therefore, bringing Lewandowski to PSG is not an ideal choice. PSG just need to show that if they deserve to be in the Champions League, they have to be in mature form. Although many put forward star players, the result is still the same, namely failure.
