Money does have a huge impact, but everything can not be measured by money. High loyalty can beat money (an example is Messi), as well as for young players who expect new challenges, in order to fulfill their desires they can do anything because they still have a long journey and the money will come by itself.

It's not a good thing to keep a player who has no heart for his club anymore, besides being able to affect performance, it can also affect the team's atmosphere.
Barcelona is very lucky to have such an unmatched player, Messi an example of loyalty. As long as you honor your club, your club will honor you. No matter what the circumstances, respect and love for your club must always prevail. Mbappe would like to show his talent elsewhere. Here, the difference is clear, that's his own business. The truth is that not every player will commit to his club until his retirement.

If I had such an opportunity, I would have taken Ronaldinho to the team. The way he played, his play-style, his dribbling I still miss. I really love this player. I would have been fascinated by the pairing of Ronaldinho and Messi in Barcelona. Together these two had the ability to knock down any team's defense. Who would you choose?

I am not watching much of Barcelona but I always feel like there was a huge missed opportunity with Ronaldinho, so I agree here,,, this is the one guy to bring back BUT first to fix his problems off the field. He was SO good with all his issues imagine if he was even half as disciplined as Messi is, how much more he would bring.

I love all players who give us good memories:)

Maybe Mbappe really doesn’t want to leave but just wants more money from PSG.  Neymar prolly has better wages than him and prolly wants that.  We’ll find out how it all pans out and what’s really up by January.  But I’m pretty sure big clubs are already watching.

That could be possible but I think a while ago there was a report that PSG would do anything to keep Mbappe. He was also offered a better contract a while ago and was offered a better deal than Neymar according to reports [1] . And he has told that he doesn't wants to sign a contract and wants a fresh challenge [2]. What you said is a pretty good trick for the club to push and give them an enticing offer but in case of Mbappe I hardly think so. He is young and so wants a change.

Arsenal are indeed in a difficult position to be able to get Locatelli, even though Arsenal have agreed to the price that Sassuolo wants.
~
Arsenal should think about the defender position first, I know how they play on last year, they have a bad defense. About Ben White, I think it's good for Arsenal they must continue it and just looking for a new defender more by ignoring to buy a new player with another position.
Arsenal do not have defensive problems.They had one of the best defence in premier league last season,but since the likes of David Luiz who was very solid at the back has left the club,they had to bring in Ben White.What Arsenal really needs are midfielders,atleast two or three should be able to solve problems at the middle of the park.If Locatteli can give them what they want,then they need him.

If we compare the number of goals conceded by Arsenal with Manchester City, which is not so far away, I agree that Arsenal have no problem with
defense. Moreover, the joining of Ben White should be enough to make Arsenal's defense even more solid, for Arsenal's wing positions and attackers is
also quite good. What has to be improved is the position of the center and the goalkeeper, especially the Arsenal midfield that needs players like
Locatelli. Therefore Arsenal also tried to buy Emiliano Buendia, but in the end Buendia chose Aston Villa over Arsenal. If they fail to get Locatelli,
Arsenal are reportedly trying to bring in James Maddison or Houssem Aouar.

That could be it. He is young, talented and considered as one of the prodigy as well as the future star but he play in one of the league with no real competition in it. PSG basically dominate ligue 1 although they didnt win last season which is kinda absurd considering that their whole squad worth atleast 5 times of what the other team has
He knows what the real problem is so he choose not to sign the renewal contract, if he sign another contract with PSG then there is probably no club that would be able to sign him considering that he is worth atleast 150 million euro right now according to transfermarkt.
Well things could change though, I doubt PSG would be letting him go as a free agent. Thats definitely not going to happen
In football, money decides a lot, and even more decides how this money is spent Wink The fact that the Paris Saint-Germain squad can cost five times more than other rivals in the French championship speaks only about the potential of the team, but this potential must be realized and it is not always possible to do it and this is good, which gives a chance to not so rich clubs.

What I don't understand about Paris' transfer policy still is this fair play rule or what it is called. How do they manage to again and again circumvent it without getting any penalties from the UEFA? If there is one club violating that rule by far, isn't that obviously Paris? They probably have contracts with those players that go beyond their normal task as a soccer player. I don't know, maybe some special purpose vehicles where they can cash in extra money from other activities which Paris supports, although I thought that is also forbidden.

Ronaldinho without any double, the best dribbler we have ever seen in this game.

Anyway, this should be the week for Locatelli to Juventus, the only player they will take IMHO.
I still enjoy watching his videos on YouTube from time to time, he was an impressive player, so yeah I pick him too.
For Locatelli, Sassuolo is asking for €40m which is offered by Arsenal but since the player wants to move to Juve then there will be more talks. Juve offered €30m (loan) which was rejected and now consider swap + cash. Hope they will not lose this deal Undecided

Arsenal are indeed in a difficult position to be able to get Locatelli, even though Arsenal have agreed to the price that Sassuolo wants.
But Locatelli is only interested in a move to Juventus, meaning Juventus and Sassuolo's subsequent negotiations will determine Locatelli's fate.
If Juventus and Sassuolo reach an agreement, then Locatelli will certainly move to Juventus. According to the latest news I read,
Juventus are confident that the next offer will be accepted by Sassuolo. We'll just have to wait for updates regarding Locatelli's transfer.

However, such dominance of one team over others has both pros and cons. On the one hand, this makes other teams reach for the leader's level. On the other hand, if it is not possible to reach this level, then this is fraught with a drop in the level of both the hegemon club itself and a decline in the level of the entire championship.

For a player to be considered credible, probably taken to be among  the greats,, he needs to play in a competitive league and Mbappe is looking for that. He has the talent to be the next big star after the Messi, Cristiano era and the timing wouldn't be any better, I hope he could go somewhere like Spain or England places with one of the best leagues .



Well things could change though, I doubt PSG would be letting him go as a free agent. Thats definitely not going to happen
PSG will do everything in their power to ensure his not a free agent, maybe better salary...but for all I know they would rather make a sell than go out with empty pockets.

The young Dutch striker is good at playing in the wing and spear positions, which makes him a distinguished alternative to the Norwegian striker Erling Haaland as well, who may leave during the current summer transfer season,
The signing could as well mean that Borussia Dortmund are preparing for life without Haaland, that's not certain though as it could mean they are looking for support for their marksman, but whichever it is, it's a good acquisition for the team and I hope the lad can develop more in Dortmund. On another note, I don't think it'll take Dortmund too long to learn to manage without Haaland should he leave them, they are used to making/building quality players and then go ahead to sell them just when it looks like they are at their best moment, I don't know if they do it to make money or they just can't hold on to their best players based on the status of their club.

Sebastian Keil, technical secretary of Borussia Dortmund, announced today, Sunday, that the young Dutch striker, Donel Malin, underwent a medical examination in preparation for his inclusion in the team from PSV Eindhoven.

Press reports indicate that the value of the deal may reach 30 million euros, pending the announcement of the official figures in the event that the contract with 22-year-old Malin, who will join the team in compensation for the departure of the Englishman Jadon Sancho to Manchester United, is completed.

Player who has a year left in his contract and doesn’t want to stay with the club...  But still has a ton of value in the transfer window.  There’s only one move:  Sell.  By January those clubs bidding for him now would just wait for a few months to get him for free.

Every time that some big star (or not) who has one year contract, doesn't want to renew and wants to join another club, I wonder the same thing. What can you possibly get as the present club from him, if he wants to go? Simple nothing. There is no logic for PSG not to sell Mbappe and I'm a bit surprised that they didn't seal the deal already.

Maybe Mbappe really doesn’t want to leave but just wants more money from PSG.  Neymar prolly has better wages than him and prolly wants that.  We’ll find out how it all pans out and what’s really up by January.  But I’m pretty sure big clubs are already watching.

I have a same feeling. Should I start hate him now cause of this approach, maybe this young boy has some plan. Let him go where he wants and I will be happy seeing him leave. I won't be like on a debate on this but let's see wen he moves from Paris. He should get a new challenge, I respect his decision.

The FC Bayern is looking for another winger and seem to be interested in signing Antony. The 21 year-old Brazilian youngster is currently playing for Ajax Amsterdam and still has a contract until 30.06.2025. Ajax Amsterdam demands €30m from FC Bayern.

Bayern have already contacted Ajax winger Antony (21) and are negotiating the conditions of a potential transfer with Ajax. The Dutch club reportedly want at least €30m for the Brazilian, a fee considered too high by Bayern's board [@geglobo]

Source: https://twitter.com/iMiaSanMia/status/1418989378202972168

A transfer to FC Bayern is only realistic if an agreement can be reached on the transfer fee. I can't imagine that Bayern are willing to pay the sum of €30m in the end - even if Antony's market value is around €25m according to transfermarket.com. As we all know, FC Bayern's financial budget is very tight in this transfer period and they actually have to rely on player sales if they really want to sign new players. But who knows, maybe Coman is leaving the club.
