Frenkie De Jong may be sold this summer by Barcelona. His quality is well known to the club, but the club needs to sell him to fund its finances. Certainly, if Messi leaves for free, you can say that Barcelona had a choice. FC Barcelona will soon sell Memphis, Depay's in order to improve their financial situation? This is a completely bad idea. FC Barcelona is still trying to get rid of quality players! That's a stupid move by management.

Looks like juventus are really ready to bear the loss by selling dejan Kulusevski to another club, because I know Kulusevski was bought by juventus from atalanta for 44 million euros, but now they will sell him for 25 million euros, although he is a good player, but in my opinion he is not the right choice for arsenal, moreover they have to sacrifice pepe in the purchase, actually pepe is a nimble player but he only gets a little playing time in arsenal so he can't show his best performance so far.
Loss? Kulusevski is a great player and all, but they could sell him for a lot of money, as high as 50+ million euro if you ask me, and if it is not that high then they do not have to sell him neither and just could keep him and use him. That guy deserves to be sold for at least 50 million right now, only 21 years old and they already paid a lot of money to get him, which means that unless they are making some profit from it then there is no reason why they should not keep him.

If they are selling him for anything over 50 though, in that case they are making a good chunk of profit and they could end up buying another player for that much money and could even pay a lot less and keep the change, could even get as much as 2 players for 30 each if they could sell him for 60 million. That is not a loss if you ask me, that would be a lot better for them in the long run.

Arsenal has Saka who is a player of great potential. Bringing Kulusevski would really be a bizarre move, Arsenal needs to strengthen in multiple positions and bringing a player to a position where you already have a strong starter in their situation would be a waste of money.

Pepe is not playing because Saka is better, Kulusevski would not be playing even if they bought him - because Saka is better. Switching them around and playing one of them on the left side could be a solution, but not something that can be taken as granted.

Having 2-3 good players in a particular position is always beneficial to the team because it motivates everyone to play at their best. For example, Manchester City has several world-class players sharing the same wing, but only the ones who are at their best start games. R. Steeling and Mahrez occasionally sit on the bench to allow Foden and B. Silva to play. Saka is a versatile player who can play LB, RW, LW, and Number 8 at times, so I don't understand why any potential player shouldn't be on the squad. On the Chelsea team, Zirech, Pulisic, and Odol all play the same position. More depth in the team, the better.

I'd really love for Zidane to take over at United. I feel there's a reason why Zidane did not land a good job after he left Madrid for the 1st time and I think there's a reason why he isn't getting any great offers now.

All in all - I feel he was at the right place at the right time and is not that good of a coach as his trophies say and United is the perfect place for him to show that Grin
I am also very happy if Zidane is really interested in Man United but all that there is no good contact with the management maybe there is still no agreement, unless Ronaldo continues to persuade him to go to Man United.
If Zidane takes over United then I think it will be a tough challenge to bring the trophy back to Man United but it won't be difficult for Zidane because inside Man United players already have talent so this only needs good care from a coach if Man United wants to win.
I'm excited to see him at Man United. Yes, Zinedine Zidane is a good replacement for the club, it is for the clubs success. There is a possibility that Manchester United won't be successful in their bid to get Zinedine Zidane because it's widely believed he's already decided where he'll work next. What you don't notice about Zidane is that he likes already assembled teams that make it easy for him to win trophies. Does Zidane not want to join PL?
Normally my pick has always been Zidane because he will be able to command a dressing room full of super stars like he did in Real Madrid for some seasons. But that is not really the main issue now. Because Man United will fail again until there is no outside interference from these so called experts. They are successful as coaches yet they want to give advice. It all shows how Man United is misguided by its higher level. Bad decisions have been constantly made since the last few years of Sir Alex Ferguson. What they have been trying to do now is building a narrative that Ole is the best choice, other tactically rich managers are shite United board are paying handsomely to gaslight the whole fanbase.

Calciomercato reports that Juventus Turin winger Dejan Kulusevski is interested in the top club from England. According to the source, the footballer is at gunpoint at London's Arsenal. The head coach of the red-whites Mikel Arteta is personally interested in the Swedish player. It is also reported that the London club is ready to offer its winger Nicolas Pepe in exchange for Kulusewski. Recall that Dejan has been in favor of the black-and-whites since 2020, and his current contract is valid until June 2025.

Kulusevski really wanted to be sold by Juventus, because it was reported that Massimiliano Allegri did not match Kulusevski's playing style.
Hearing this, Arsenal were indeed interested in buying Kulusevski. The problem is that Arsenal must first sell Nicolas Pepe to buy Dejan Kulusevski.
Because Nicolas Pepe, who was bought at an expensive price from Lille, was considered to often appear less consistent,  so Arteta didn't make Pepe
his first choice at Arsenal. Actually, it was early this season that Pepe wanted to be sold by Arteta, but the problem was that no club was willing
to buy Pepe. Hopefully Juventus are willing to trade Pepe with Kulusevski, because I as an Arsenal supporter think Pepe has not made a good
contribution to Arsenal and it looks like Kulusevski can develop at Arsenal. Moreover, Kulusevski is still 21 years old, so he can still develop into
a good player. I really hope Arsenal can get Kulusevski.

Regarding Vlahović - Fiorentina offered him a huge contract to stay and he is still considering it. He refused the 1st one but he said he feels he still needs more time before making the step up to a better club so there is stll a chance he remains in Italy.

From what I have seen, he's nowhere near a player worth that much money. If Fiorentina can get it, they would be smart to force the sale - they can reinvest in the team and cover 3 positions with that transfer fee alone.

According to this news, Fiorentina have opened the way for Tottenham and Manchester City to be able to sign their young striker Dusan Vlahovic in January. But the problem is that their asking price is £70m.  Grin  Actually, this mustn't be a big deal for Manchester City especially. But there is an interesting fact also that Manchester City have been after Tottenham striker Harry Kane for a long time. I think that Manchester City would rather make a move for him. And Tottenham might accept this deal this time as there will be an opportunity for them to buy another talented striker like Vlahovic. Let's see what will happen in the coming transfer window.
This Fiorentina player Vlahovich has been link to Arsenal as well,it is understood that his future is uncertain,and will welcome a move else where.
It seems the player is really a nice player with the way he is been hyped,and almost all the big clubs in England are looking for a way to sign him up.
If Tottenham could get a deal for him,they might let Kane leave to Mancity,where he as been so eager to play.
It is popular news that Manchester City have lots of money to throw around, the club doesn't play with signing players they want no matter the asking price. Manchester City will pay just about anything to get what they want and right now they have a star team on the pitch and on the bench

Zidane is indeed a good coach, when he was in charge of Real Madrid, he managed to bring in many trophies. But Zidane only has experience coaching in La Liga, so if he actually coached Man United, it would be a challenge and it would be an opportunity to prove his ability as a coach.
Well I know that Zidane is the Real Madrid coach who didn't switch clubs, with the club at that time he was surrounded by great players so the trophies were quite easy despite Zidane being the great coach we all know.
My opinion about this Zidane will definitely think carefully so that when he returns to any club it should be the same as when he coached Real Madrid and I don't know if he still fits other clubs or is not ready to handle such a tight PL club anymore, but rumors I know he wants to coach his own national team.
yep even this news has been confirmed by ESPN who said that he rejected MU because he would return to France to coach the national team.
but until now the rumors are still confusing and there is no clarity that is really strong whether this is true or not.
On the other hand, I think Ronaldo still wants Zidane to be at Manchester United and will continue to persuade him because Ronaldo now seems to be starting to feel displeased with Ole's leadership.
Let's not completely trust the rumors and just say that Ronaldo personally convinces Zidane to lead Manchester United and weaves intrigues to fire Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Let's not confuse such concepts as supporting the desire of the club and personally convincing. I think that Ronaldo does not have such powers and he does not claim them either, and the club's management is unlikely to be eager to grant him such powers Wink Seriously, you are already starting to lose track of the number of candidates for the post of head coach, who are constantly throwing the media to the public. From the latest rumors I've heard about Pochettino's candidacy. I would personally have great confidence in the castling when Pochettino would have come to Manchester United, and Zidane would have taken his place in Paris Saint-Germain, given that Pochettino had already worked in England as a head coach, and the French specialist that Zidane is would have started working in his native France.

Pretty sure that Tottenham made it very clear that they are not going to let Harry kane go this season so its probably not going to happen atleast until next season. Harry kane has only score 1 goal so far though so this might affect his price as well though, kinda interesting to see how low will it goes to if he keeps up his lame performance

On the other hand, I think Ronaldo still wants Zidane to be at Manchester United and will continue to persuade him because Ronaldo now seems to be starting to feel displeased with Ole's leadership.

We'll definitely see how this goes in the next 2-3 matches. If Manchester United keeps on losing then its the end of the line for Ole but most likely its not going to be Zidane to replace him.

Yeah, I heard about it today also. He said that he wanted him at all costs but it's still doubtful whether Barcelona's financial condition would be enough to be able to afford his transfer fee and demands. We already know that they have been in a financial trouble for a long time. They have sent some players away to increase their budget. But even this isn't enough for now as it seems. Xavi wants Salah this summer but it doesn't seem very realistic to me. And let's say that Barcelona are able to afford him. In that case, Liverpool will still not be very eager to let him go. And I guess that Salah is also very happy here and won't think of leaving a team that are very successful now.

In order to achieve ambition, Barcelona spent large sums of money and attracted great players to strengthen its defense. But as it happened it is not a solution if their finances are running low due to spending that is currently focused on building quality games under Xavi. Maybe there are financial reserves out there that Barcelona haven't put out yet in order to take a peek at the new players that will soon be added to the transfer list next season.

Marcelo should just move over to Manchester United since he has a good    and great understand on the pitch with Cristiano Ronaldo,I don't know why I'm having the feeling Ole Gunner Solskjaer time will be up soon at Manchester United and Zidane will be in charge soon.
Marcelo and Zidane at united?

I mean, well, we can fantasize about certain things we would wish to happen to a club we love, but this fantasy is a little too much. I don't think Marcelo will come to Premier League. He used to be good, but he's old now and has been injury prone.

He's probably going back home to Brazil.

This kind of reminds me of how some United fan we so confident that they would sign Ramos at one point.

Check the post history then look at the sig.  That pretty much shows he’s just posting without even knowing wtf he’s talking about. And it’s not just him.  There’s a lot of them lately.  I saw one in the UFC thread and was called out by somebody else.  He never returned.  Lolol.

The old FJ campaign had a lot of them too.  I remember one guy kept calling all the stadiums ‘Anfield’...  He kept saying ‘at Anfield’ even tho the match was something like United vs Chelsea.  Cheesy
I do not deny the existence of such people, they are everywhere as well and not just sports part of the topics. However Marcelo at United is not really a horrible idea neither. If they could get him for cheap, then he would be a great sub player if you ask me. He knows how to defend, he is fast, he knows how to play with Ronaldo and he would be cheap.

I am not saying pay a lot and get him, or I am not saying get him and start him, all I am saying is that he would be a great sub for them if you could get him for cheap salary. Obviously someone else will pay a lot more than what United should or even could, and he will not be going there at all, but I highly doubt Marcelo is at the top of his game anymore, so nobody should really pay a lot for him.

Barcelona's new manager Xavi wants to re-sign their old player Thiago Alcantara who is playing at Liverpool now.

And now he wants the board to sign Mohamed Salah "at all costs" [sic] next summer.

Never mind he'll probably be handed a new contract in January, it's like Barça haven't learned anything last time they went for a Liverpool mega transfer.

For reference, they signed Countinho from them for €140m back in 2018. And now they're trying to get rid of him for much less I heard.

They couldn't even fully pay off the debt for that transfer and that was when their financial situation was healthy.

Going for a €100m player while they're 1.something billion in debt is just going to tank them, notice how they can only make free transfer signings currently.

Yeah, I heard about it today also. He said that he wanted him at all costs but it's still doubtful whether Barcelona's financial condition would be enough to be able to afford his transfer fee and demands.

Rumors do not come out of nowhere all the same, if there was such talk in the press or elsewhere, it means something leaked to the media from the club. I do not know how he can help Barcelona, because they have a completely different style of play, whether he can adapt to it - I do not know. I have a feeling that he will often sit on the bench there, too, in case of a transition
Apparently, it might be a rumour but looking at the fact that, Raheem Sterling has been sidelined by Pep doesn't make the rumour any less true. Of course, there would be talks secretly floating about but then, that doesn't mean it could all end like we had it between Kane, Manchester City and Spurs.

On the part of Sterling moving to Barcelona, wouldn't be such a good idea looking at his style of play and the Camp Nou players. Sterling better suits into the Manchester City team having the required pass and can hold on to the ball a lot more than it would be in Barcelona where you don't have to run so much or even hold on to the ball. Well, City only advocates for a change of style to suit the changes in the EPL with Chelsea being top predators and all that. A lot could still happen before the transfer window opens.

I agree, at some point he and his agent might be seen in another country going somewhere or something, as is usually the case.

About Spain, I said right away that he has a different style of play and it will be a bit hard to readjust. Although I think what you described is actually a bit the opposite. England's style is quite fast, so you get a lot of goals, and Spain's game is accurate, but beautiful.
La Liga and Primer league have many different style and character game play where Primer league you need more power support counter attack style, on La Liga looks slowly game play and they need new feature as tachtical how to win on every match, I think some player success on La Liga not guarantee keep on the top performance when playing for primer league.
