Joao Felix was loaned to Chelsea two seasons ago when chelsea was have Potter and Lampard as a coach. So if Joao Felix is ​​successfully acquired by Chelsea then Joao Felix will have no difficulty adapting. although the current composition of Chelsea's players is almost 80% different from two seasons ago. And I don't think it will be difficult for Chelsea to get Joao Felix because we know Atletico Madrid also wants to let the player go. Moreover, the player himself also wants to move from Atletico Madrid. because he was always not in the Atletico Madrid coach's plans. So there is no reason for Joao Felix to stay longer at Atletico Madrid. Because if he stays then he will only continue to be loaned to other clubs.

During the period of Bowley's leadership there were 8 of the 13 most expensive transfers in the history of Chelsea, but it did not affect the result, or rather it did not affect in the best way, because Chelsea of Roman Abramovich's time was one of the best teams in Europe and this despite the fact that no one bought midfielders for 100 million like Enzo or Caicedo.

Fabrizio Romano writes that Felix is part of the deal for Gallagher's transfer to Atletico. Atletico value Felix at 50 million, and Chelsea want to sell Gallagher for 42, so in a way it's basically a swap, with a small surcharge and Felix has agreed to the transfer and now it's up to Chelsea and their part of the deal to sell Gallagher.

I don't think Nico William will go to Barcelona anymore since I saw they given him another number at Athletic Bilbao, and if he is ready to leave the club for Barcelona, I am sure he will not collect the number 10 garbage. Barcelona made a good move to purchase Olmo because Williams will no longer be able to play for the club. Athletic Bilbao is still interested in him, thus Barcelona should forget about him and buy a new player. I think Barcelona won't sign any player again. Since they have signed Olmo, they will stay with him this season because Barcelona don't have enough money to acquire other major players to the league. The new coach should only try his best and win the title for the club so that they will have enough funds to sign new players next season. And am sure they will try there possible best and achieve trophies next season to make the fans proud, am just waiting for the season to start this week to see how Barcelona will perform or they will get the opportunity of winning the title.

What I see is that when I read some of the rumors including Nico Williams, Flick is more interested in Dani Olmo and wants to make him a key player at Barcelona than Nico Williams. That is why they are more likely to speed up and negotiate seriously about Dani Olmo than Nico Williams.
But for the current rumors the situation has become a little more exciting and more challenging for Barcelona because in addition to Dani Olmo they have already obtained rumors that the pursuit for Nico Williams is also busy again for Barcelona.

Although there have been several statements saying Nico Williams will stay at Bilbao and Barcelona are still very troubled to maintain their financial stability, it does not dampen the rumors that are currently happening where Barcelona are again pursuing Nico Williams as their target to complete Barcelona's attack line.

It is still under consideration by the club whether to sell or not this also depends on Luis Diaz's decision whether he wants to find a new challenge or will stay at Liverpool, I think he will get a place with a lot of minutes under Arne Slot could be his plan in the main squad in the current season.

It could be that Liverpool are still confident in their current squad by not making any changes this squad will remain consistent in the game with the new coach, when other teams are aggressively looking for new players Liverpool still remain silent.

Believing that Liverpool will not decline further even though there are no new players, I feel Liverpool are now still strong enough and fine there is nothing to doubt with the squad.

In fact, Manchester United already has a lot of defensive players in their squad at the moment, but seeing their very poor performance in defense last season, of course Ten Hag seems to be making the defense line a priority for him to improve next season, Ten Hag has brought in Leny Yoro previously with the price is very expensive and that's why they didn't recruit De Light from Munich, but the departure of Bissaka and also the injury that befell Leny Yoro some time ago made Manchester United revive their interest  recruit De Light again at this time and it's not even half-hearted, Manchester United went straight to it recruited two defenders currently owned by Bayern Munich, namely De Light and Mazraoui for a total of 70 million Euros.

Joao Felix without doubt is a very talented attacker and when it comes to being skillful enough to create goal scoring opportunities from nothing, he's that kind of player you'll have to mention but I don't think Chelsea needs him at the moment. You said the report about his potential move to Chelsea will interest the club fans but if you ask me, I think most of the club fans will frown at such deal because Felix spent the whole of 2022/23 season at Chelsea but failed to perform impressively, the club recently signed Pedro Neto who also plays in similar position like Joao Felix. What Chelsea needs at the moment

This is the consequence for Barcelona. They had to buy a new player without selling anyone to raise money. I have expected it to happen, and it's also kind of weird if Barcelona decides to take Coman's offer from Munich.

Firstly, Barcelona has not registered Flick and his staff due to financial issues. Secondly, it cannot register players with La Liga. It seems Laporta never thought of a long-term solution. Instead, he kept betting on short-term fixes, like using the financial lever.

Barcelona must either finalize a $150 million deal with Nike or sell players quickly. It seems Barcelona is going to play without their new player.

But the fact is that until now we have not seen a fairly aggressive movement from PSG because even though they spent quite a lot of money on Joao Neves from Benfica some time ago but his position was not as a striker but a midfielder so until now PSG is still not looking for the right alternative to replace Mbappe for the attack line.

It is undeniable that there are several alternatives such as making a slightly different formation with 2 strikers or maximizing Barcola who until now has only been the only left winger at PSG.
Now if PSG really wants to find a replacement for Mbappe for the attack line then while the time is still there they have to be quick because for now they are already chased by time where the transfer season in a few weeks will end but PSG is still quite passive in finding a replacement player. Unless Enrique is already comfortable with the players and wants a new situation with a different scheme and attack pattern than the previous season.

Do I miss new news about this reliable defender that Bayern Munich has?
This seems to be good news when Ten Hag continues to hunt down reliable players to prove that Man United can rise again. De Ligt is one of the best defenders owned by Munich and is now completing medical test and waiting for the signing of the two teams.
Initially it was very doubtful but seeing Ten Hag efforts that continued to improve every bad line last season, making me sure if this team would be able to compete in the new season that will be immediately started later.
In your opinion, will this really happen?

The Blues are trying to bring back Joao Felix to  Stamford Bridge 

Actually, right now Enzo Maresca is making a team for the future. And getting a player who is only 24 years old as the striker of the club is definitely going to be a good choice. But the biggest thing is all the players will have to work together. Otherwise, it is not going to work out. You know, it is Cole Palmer who carries the whole team along in every match. So I will say now going to Chelsea is a little risky decision for any player. Because the recent history of The Blues has not been very good and at the same time The Blues has not been keeping the coaches for a longer period of time. I hope that is going to change from this season.

By the way, playing in the English Premier League is definitely something that can improve a player a lot because he is always playing against a quality opponent.

If you followed the news, you must know Barcelona signed Dani Olmo because they were unable to sign Nico Williams. Unfortunately, they get difficulty to register Dani Olmo in La Liga now. With this condition, I am sure Barcelona won't sign any new player now. They even still couldn't register Vitor Roque, Eric Garcia, Inigo Martinez, and Clement Lenglet. So, how they will register another new player? Even if they successfully sign Kingsley Coman and Nico Williams, it will be useless if those players can't be registered to play in La Liga for the new season.

The news: Barcelona is unable to register €55m Dani Olmo with La Liga

It's no secret that journalists love to sensationalize speculation about Nico Williams future. Barcelona has shown a keen interest in acquiring him from Athletic Bilbao. Joan Laporta dreams of building his ideal front line, with Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal leading the attack, just like they did in Euro 2024 when they helped Spain win the trophy. If the transfer of Nico Williams is successful, Hansi Flick job will be much easier, and it could certainly boost Barcelona performance next season. I think the transfer saga can be realized, on the condition that Barcelona must be willing to let go of some old faces, because Atletico Bilbao does not seem to accept loan proposals for their star players.

Besides, Barcelona management actually still has a lot of work to do, they have to complete Dani Olmo registration to La Liga first. Looking at the current situation, it seems that the recruitment of Nico Williams is nothing more than a mere rumor, the financial crisis that has been suffered has really hampered Barcelona various plans. The transfer market is still open until the end of August, anything can still happen, it would be a big surprise if Barcelona managed to build an ideal squad amidst a limited budget.

Maybe we all have an idea about the PSG club and the president of that club, what kind of person he is. As the president of PSG club, he lavishly spent money on players even bought world famous players for his team. PSG club was once full of star players but with the change of time the players have changed and joined different clubs. When Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe took the field for PSG, opposition teams were scared. I have seen that no one player is permanent in any club they change teams in different seasons. Just because a player leaves a club does not mean that the club becomes useless.

Even if these star strikers leave the PSG club, maybe in the next season or in the current season, the president of the PSG club will spend more money and try to buy better strikers. So that his team improves in a strong place like before.

They are interested too then, cool.    I would be happy for Barcelona if they sign Coman. They have been searching for a solid LW for a while. Indeed the transfer of Nico Williams isn't happening obviously.

Coman isn't old. He is still quick and deadly with his talent. I'm confident he would perform better than Raphinha. More consistent at least. That's what Barcelona needs there. A reliable winger. Maybe you will doubt Yamal also being reliable because of being very young. But he has a really special talent. I believe Yamal will be better every year. But the dream for me has been to watch Williams - Yamal together at Barcelona.    It isn't happening for now.

Previously, Barcelona was the team that most wanted to recruit Luis Diaz from Liverpool, but after they succeeded in bringing in Dani Olmo, of course Barcelona will no longer be interested in bringing in Luis Diaz at this time.
I don't know whether this news is true or not, but I see that now Diaz continues to be Arne Slot mainstay to fill their in left wing line in pre-season matches, selling Diaz will of course be a loss for them even though they will get a lot of money from the sale, but in terms of quality, performance and also Diaz style of play currently it is difficult for us to see it in other players even though Liverpool still has Gakpo at squad.

So far Liverpool have not made any moves in the transfer market and I think it has nothing to do with their current finances, it is possible that Liverpool have not brought in new players just because they tend to have more confidence in the current squad or they haven't see a player worth buying at the moment.
Yesterday Liverpool played two friendly matches which were quite crazy in my opinion, how could it not be, they faced two different teams in friendly matches in just one day and only a few hours apart when facing Sevilla and also Palmas and what's more amazing is that they were unbeaten in these two matches.

Kingsley Coman played only 17 games for Bayern Munich last season. The manager did not see him as part of the squad. The 28-year-old French player must no longer see his future in Bayern Munich. In my opinion, he could be a very good alternative for Barcelona instead of Williams. I think his ambition will be at the highest level with Barcelona in La Liga, and he will play better with this ambition. Let's see if Barcelona can complete this transfer.

Alexis played for Udinese between 2006 to 2011, again signed a 2-year contract.

I think it is possible that he will make an approach to go to the Saudi league.

Actually, It is going to depend on the performance that he is able to show in his new club. If this former Arsenal and Manchester United forward is able to perform well, and he feels like he is still able to compete against the big teams and has enough capability to provide good enough Performance for his club, he will probably play two seasons. But if Sanchez has a drop in performance I think he will go to the Saudi pro league. And it is not something bad to go for as much money as you can get when you are already 36/37 years old. I mean Alexis Sanchez is already 35 years old. He does not have much time left in his career. So he should already start thinking about money.

They are not throwing millions of dollars away thoughtlessly like in previous years. They are price-performance oriented and are careful when transferring players. I like this management style of Paris Saint-Germain. Money spent thoughtlessly like in the past has not brought them success. They are aware of this. Therefore, they must have entered a good review process about the player they will buy after Mbappé. In addition, Mbappé leaving the team for a free has also made them very difficult financially.

Rumor has it Liverpool will consider selling Luis Diaz for €60M, is this the way Liverpool will save their finances, by selling Luis Diaz and buying a new striker in their target?
In my opinion Diaz can still be relied on at Liverpool even though he often suffers from long injuries but his performance has not decreased it's just that last season he didn't have a large collection of goals, so far there has been no interest but if there is an offer like Liverpool will be very open to it.
