Wow, am still in a shock in the kind of quality transfer westham united are making, this is an attacker that should be going to a bigger clubs, no disrespect to westham united but the kind of players they are signing this days shows that as a smaller club that they are, they really want to replace team like Chelsea in the big six, because what I have seen from them so far, they have proven beyond reasonable doubt that they mean business.

So when I compare this kind of players to the kind of players/kids Chelsea are signing, it shows that Todd boehly is busy restructuring the club to a mid table team, instead of a team fighting for trophies.

Lastly, I believe that if this players westham are signing can blend very fast, they are definitely going to cause a whole lot of troubles to most teams in the English premier league, and if they are consistent enough this coming season, they will definitely qualify for the uefa champions league next season.

Barcelona's unstable financial condition currently makes Dani Olmo the second choice after Nico William failed to be recruited and did not reach an agreement. We all know the reason why Barcelona's previous offer to Leipzig was rejected. With the new agreement being discussed by the two clubs, it has reached a bright spot and is running smoothly, and as we know, Dani Olmo has long wanted to return to Camp Nou considering he is a graduate of the La Masia academy. We cannot deny that Dani Olmo's physical condition is currently declining and has resulted in him often getting injured, it is impossible for Barcelona not to realize this. and it seems that Barcelona has prepared other things that will be able to fix this, there must be other options that Barcelona has planned for this.

I repeat again the current financial condition does not allow Barcelona to buy many new players, and with the current condition of Barcelona, ​​the best choice is to rely on its young players, and like other clubs that are preparing for the new season, they will definitely prepare their club seriously to start a new competition in the real competition, including Barcelona, ​​​​if you look at the pre-season matches that they are currently playing with positive results, Barcelona is quite serious about facing La Liga later with its young players.

I think he's one of the articulated strikers I know to have joined the premier league, he is calm but dangerous, discipline and confident with the ball in the box as I have seen him play. I strongly believe he going to smash a lot of goals in for West Ham. There are a lot of quality players in West Ham and with their assistance synergizing with that of Fullkrug am optimistic he is going to succeed with the Hammers.

No good player like him would be comfortable seated in the bench so it was necessary he left Dortmund and this was just a perfect timing for him.

With the Alvarez transfer, Guardiola is showing the rest of us that he is in charge at Manchester City, not the players. There are no more than 5 coaches like Guardiola in the world I guess . Even Klopp had to negotiate with Salah, Mane and the rest, and his influence in Liverpool was huge. Apparently after Barcelona, where Messi and other stars played, Guardiola realized that you can not build a team like that, even if you have the best player in the world, discipline and team play is much more important than talent and the ability to score one player.
Now Guardiola has sold a capricious player and still got more than 60 million profit and can buy any other player with this money, and maybe try to keep De Bruyne from moving to the Saudi league.

Welcome to London, Rodriguez.

Rodriguez is an underrated player, although he only played for small teams like Real Betis, CF America, Tijuana etc, but he's included in Argentina senior team which mean he has a quality. His performance in Real Betis was good since he always entered in top 3 best players.

West Ham got him for free, they're really lucky.

Absolutely amazing transfer by Manchester City to sell him for a generous profit. I remember when City signed Álvarez from River Plate for £14 million in 2022. Now, they are selling him for £81.5 million. Álvarez has had an amazing journey at Manchester City. I know how vital he is to the team.
Álvarez's career at Manchester City has been be overshadowed by Haaland. This is because he was a backup to Haaland, and he covered for City in Haaland's absence. They got him at a very low price & are now selling him at a high price. Profit on all fronts.

Atleti is buying the hardest-working young players, such as Gallagher and Alvarez. And they have a couple of pressing monsters now.

Barcelona is a team without much direction, it seems like they don't sit down and think much before acting. Dani Olmo is a player who got a lot of attention in the Euro games. Before that he didn't get much attention, and Barcelona seems to have become a club that doesn't research players before signing them, they just need to see a player getting attention at that moment for them to be interested in that player. Note that Dani Olmo played 107 games in the Bundesliga but only scored 17 goals and made 24 assists. That's not a good performance for a midfielder, another point is the case of Nico Williams. Barcelona always saw Nico Williams playing, but they didn't try to sign Nico Williams because he didn't get attention, but with this Euro Nico Williams got attention. In other words, Barcelona is not looking for good players, they are looking for famous players.


I can't understand Manchester United, Jadon Sancho played very well when he was at Dortmund, it was clear that the problem wasn't on his side, but on the side of the Manchester United coach, and now that Jadon Sancho has returned to Manchester United, then they should keep him for at least a few more seasons to help the team instead of selling him and then signing another player for a higher price who will have a much lower performance than Jadon Sancho.

If the list like,bit should be endless, what I think ATM needs is change of coach. Even if Simeone has been good, but the team needs a new coach;
New idea;
New challenge;
New anxiety;
New trials;
New energy and
New competition.
The arrival of a new person has many things to change, if not same old vibe which looks so energetic will remain without results and gradually they will not even be at the top 4 of the Laliga.

Of course, there is no doubt that Alvarez is a very talented player, only his fame and playing time at Man City are less than Haaland. And he went to Atletico Madrid, a great sign.

And now, with Alvarez and Sorloth, it means that Antoine Griezmann will probably have a higher chance of leaving Atletico Madrid.

Again, lists of other big Atletico Madrid Rumours about signings:

Source: Atlético de Madrid rumour

more lists again?

I was surprised to see only 75 million for this transfer, after all, Alvarez is a great striker, a World Champion, young and it is difficult to say whether he has any shortcomings. But this is not the full amount, taking into account the bonuses, City will receive 95 million for this transfer. It is obvious that at Atletico he will always be in the starting lineup and will definitely not be in the shadow of Haaland, a great development for La Liga, it will be interesting to see how much stronger the club becomes in the coming season.

Finally Barcelona wants to pay the minimum price demanded by Leipzig. As we know Barcelona already made an offer in the past but it is still below the minimum price set by Leipzig, Leipzig only considers to sell Dani Olmo if Barcelona wants to pay €60 million. Now, Barcelona agrees to pay  €55 million + €7 million, it is above €60 million (total €62 million). However, Dani Olmo deserves to have a value €60 million+ but I'm just curious about his physical. As far as I know, Dani Olmo often got injury for a long time. Can Barcelona to give him a special treatment to maintain his physical strength?

Dani Olmo injury history


I don't understand why you claim this. If Barcelona is serious, they must prepare their squad with more new players. So far, Barcelona only signed 1 player from other teams (Pau Víctor). I know we can argue about the quality of this player, but 1-2 players are unlikely to bring very significant impact the the performance of the whole teams, especially if it is average players only. Please check again Barcelona transfer history!

There is some news about Sancho the player from Manchester United who had some problems with Ten Hag and he couldn't have a good time there since there was a bad relationship between Ten Hag and Sancho which was the main reason for this player to leave Manchester United for another team.
Now it seems PSG sent him an offer and they are ready to hire this player while according to some news, he was about to stay in Manchester United for another season.

This is actually a good move for Newcastle though the price seems quite high but what can I say, he is an English player but this doesn't the fact that this guy is still a good buy from the fact that he as been doing these past seasons, we can say Chelsea really lost a gem here especially from the fact that they have suffered defensive woes these past season.

I guessed Man United might be shifting their interest to De Jong since it seems like Barca want him out because of his wages, while  man united interest in Ugarte is slowing dying from the fee PSG are asking for him, so I think they are shifting their interest to De Jong since like they already offer Anthony and some fee to Barca for De Jong which they obviously rejected.

I think Atletico Madrid signing Alvarez will be their best signing this season though the price is quite huge but it's expected for players of his calibre though I hope he succeeds well at Atletico Madrid

Solanke as always been a talent even from his days at Chelsea to Liverpool and now Bournemouth he has been impressive especially last season though I wonder if this big money move may not affect his performance if Spurs decided to pay this fee for him, he might not be able to do well with the pressure which has affected some youngsters

That's the problem; I read the news a few days ago that Alvarez and Pep Guardiola have a bit of tension and maybe this is the demand from Julian Alvarez to play full-time so there is no other way but to leave Manchester City.
This is a clear benefit for Manchester City because they got a lot of money from the sale of Alvarez.
He may be happy to move to Atletico Madrid because he will play full time.
Actually Manchester City will not be short of players after Alvarez leaves there are still replacement players.

With the previous ridiculous offer of course they also have to be serious like this even though the financial condition is not too possible because it cannot be denied that until now Barcelona is still in trouble from a financial point of view.
Now that they've got Dani Olmo in line with Flick's wishes, who prefers Dani Olmo to Nico Williams, I think it's a good addition to their midfield, especially since Dani Olmo can also play a flexible role where he can be an attacking midfielder or a winger.

At least although Gavi won't be able to play due to his ACL which is still healing Dani Olmo could be a good option for Barcelona's line-up later on as they're likely to stick with a 4-3-3 formation where Gundogan, Pedri, De Jong and Dani Olmo will take turns in midfield or maybe they could use Dani Olmo, Lewandowski and Dani Olmo to play.

Atletico Madrid took a bold step by paying Julian Alvarez release clause from Man City for 82 million pounds, an investment that broke the club transfer record. Man City eventually let the Argentine striker leave, and so far there have been no rumors that Pep Guardiola will look for a new player as a cover for Halaand. Julian Alvarez wants a regular place in the first team squad, and Pep Guardiola cannot guarantee that, it seems that is the main reason why this transfer was realized. Of course this is a move that is beneficial for both parties, and Julian Alvarez is planned to be plotted as the main striker after Atletico Madrid released Moratta to Milan.

The competition for a regular place in Pep Guardiola first team is very tight, so it seems reasonable for Julian Alvarez to choose to leave, because it is impossible for Pep Guardiola to reserve Halaand. With the many competitions that Man City will be participating in next season, it seems that they will look for new players again, as a rotation option if Halaand is injured. However, there is a possibility that Pep Guardiola will also maximize the players who are already available, we will see how Man City management responds to it.

Secretly Atletico Madrid managed to complete their new transfer by successfully bringing in Julian Alvarez in this transfer market. An agreement has been made and this season, Alvarez will be the spearhead of Atletico Madrid. Alvaro Morata's departure was successfully closed with the arrival of Alvarez. One side, Manchester City managed to reap big profits because as said, the complete package reached €95 million and that is quite a fantastic price.

On the other hand, this season's La Liga will be more interesting because Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid have all improved big enough to compete for the trophy this season. But unfortunately for Girona they instead released Dovbyk to Roma.

Re:FabrizioRomano

I think yes we all have known about one of the latest news from both parties between Atletico Madrid and Manchester City who have reached a final agreement regarding the sale of Julian Alvarez at a very fantastic price. A very fast agreement from both parties, there was no delay whatsoever where Atletico Madrid immediately fulfilled Manchester City's wishes regarding the price, and I am sure that one of the reasons why Atletico Madrid did not make any delays regarding the price desired by Manchester City is because they already know about the performance of this player, where Julian Alvarez is a player who has made a big contribution to Manchester City's success in winning various trophies since he was there. So maybe Atletico Madrid prefers to move quickly in this hunt.

On the other hand, this is also a big advantage for Manchester City, they broke the sales record, because previously Pep Guardiola brought Julian Alvarez for only 14 million euros from River Plate and now sells him for a fantastic price without experiencing any problems in the agreement.

Newcastle during the season before last season had one of the best defense and thanks to that they were able yo qualify for the champions league but last season we all saw how they conceded goals and had Shitty defense due to the number of injuries they had then, in some matches they had to even look towards academy players to fill in Those spaces, so seeing them going for Marc Guehi isn’t much surprising considering how well he played in the euros and helped England to the finals, I definitely knew he would be on a move away from Crystal Palace. It’s a good move by Newcastle but the fee is obviously too high at most a 50m € is ok other fees can be on ad ons.

Manchester United truly need a midfielder to help reduce the dependency on Casemiro, relying on Mac Tomminay definitely didn’t work last season, the club is just still reluctant to sign anyone yet as I read that the move for ugarte has collapsed as they see his valuation by PSG to be too high and also they are yet to sell any of their players to create space for him, Mac Tomminay who was supposed to move has his deal also collapsed as Fulham couldn’t meet united criteria

Atletico Madrid have already agreed to sign Alvarez for 75m € plus 20m ad ons, overall the move is a good one, the boy isn’t going to be a starter for Manchester city as long as Halaand is in the squad with them. The fews though seems too high for me as Manchester city definitely got a huge profit here, I remember them buying him for like 25m then nonetheless it was a good investment. Now let’s see who comes to Manchester City as back up

About time for Tottenham to get a new striker, Solanke isn’t bad as he was a menace at the front for Bournemouth last season, he will be a very good addition to this team

I want to see Fulkrug succeed in the Premier League. I think he will perform best with West Ham. He had a good season with Borussia Dortmund, but Dortmund had already put Guirassy on the back burner. By selling him, they not only made a good profit, but also prevented the problems he would have caused when he was on the bench.
