5 more years with Messi, Barca secured the future. I told you Messi won't leave.

Yes, it was expected. I made decent money betting he would stay at Barcelona

He's been there since he was 13, he is loved by the fans and settled in the area. The issues that caused him to want to leave have largely been remedied. He has no need of a more lucrative contract, and there is no need for the world's best player to prove himself in another country.

He will likely stay at Barca for the remainder of his career... although there is still the possibility of a 40yo Messi going somewhere like the US afterwards.

All depends on whether they can make Haaland sign a new deal with a bigger clause. It would be silly from Dortmund to settle for 75 million next season if they can get let's say 120 million now.

Replacing Haaland is impossible, but Dortmund is a selling club anyway so they are used to this. They will strengthen multiple positions instead of directly replacing him and that will benefit the team.

Regarding Sancho - seems that Dortmund will go for Malen. The price mentioned is around 35 mil euro, which sounds like a really good deal for Dortmund.

If they decide to sell Haaland, I'm positive they can get a much better player as part of the deal than Abraham. It would be really dangerous for Dortmund to count on Abraham as their 1st attacking option so in that case they'd either have to bring in an additional striker or try to work out a swap deal with another club.

These player swap deals rarely become reality, they are often simply media speculations. If Haaland leaves, it will probably be a straight cash deal.

Chelsea are trying hard to bring in Erling Haaland, in order to get approval from Dortmund, Chelsea offered Tammy Abraham an additional 150 million
euros to Dortmund. Tammy Abraham is not a bad player, but his level is very far compared to Haaland. As you said player swaps rarely come true,
then it is likely that Dortmund will ask for a money deal if they really want to sell Haaland. The fact that Sebastian Kehl as Dortmund sporting director
said Haaland will remain at Dortmund in the 2021-2022 season, this confirms Haaland will not for sell. So it is very unlikely that Chelsea can bring in Haaland.

There was strong news about Chelsea's desire to sign Haaland, in the current summer Mercano, which worried Dortmund fans, who wanted the first-team star to continue for at least another season. But Dortmund already sold Sancho this summer I don't think that they are obliged to sell Haaland.
It's true that Haaland has a release clause in his contract, worth 75 million euros, but it will not be activated until next summer. So he could be available next summer for less money but I don't think that it's going to be a big matter for them.

I've heard that Chelsea are preparing to offer Tammy Abraham as part of the deal to sign Erling Haaland. Dortmund have been seeming really decisive about not selling him this summer. They must get a really good offer to think about it. And giving Abraham also doesn't make the offer more attracting I think.

Halaand and Abraham swap deal would make sense for both team, Abraham is a proven striker, Dotmund would be getting a good deal considering what Abraham has achieved in the EPL, his goal history is very good and Haaland on the other hand would be a great addition to the Chelsea team, they needed that killer striker and Halaand is the man. Great deal if it goes through. With Giroud leaving Chelsea for Ac Milan Chelsea will definitely go all way to make the Haaland switch a priority.

I still dont understand why PSG even signed donnarumma this season.Kaylor Navas was one of the best players in the entire team of PSG some amazing saves this year.I know he is starting to get old,but still i think this is really early to get a new goalkeeper.But still Donnarumma is still very young and this is still a big signing from them

Cause they want to flex over everyone else.
Simple like this. Nothing more.

They have right now 9 Goalkeepers in the squad.

They've signed Euros player of the tournament. PSG might encounter another issue by next season when their squads are bigger and more complex to manage. Kylor Navas is still good, yet they are pushing him out gradually. PSG good at signing big names, however circumstance is getting intense.

I believe the simple reason was Donnarumma was available on a free transfer, and at his age he can give PSG 10 - 15 year’s of football before they need to find a new keeper, and that’s a wise investment. Furthermore to elaborate his transfer value could easily be $50 - $60 million, hence even if they sell him later on they’ll get amazing returns on this deal hence a wise move in my opinion.

This is bad news for Keylor Navas, because the best player of EURO 2020 with a big contract, who did not want to pay Milan, is unlikely to sit on the bench. It seems that a similar story is being repeated, which was between Navas and Thibaut Courtois at Real Madrid. On the one hand, Navas 'mistakes in the semifinals can be said to have decided the fate of Paris Saint-Germain and did not allow them to get to the Champions League final for the second year in a row, on the other hand, we should not forget that it was Navas' saves that also allowed the team to get to the semifinals. Therefore, it is not entirely clear how the bosses of the Paris club are going to solve the issue of playing time for Donnarumma and Navas.

Benzema + Lewandowski playing together? This will require a new tactic but might be a good combination

Maybe, but it means probably Benzema won't play as a Center forward but as a Second striker. With this combination, Real Madrid will be more offensive, but a bit weaker on the midfield. I don't think it will be a good idea to use this strategy in the first half against a solid team with strong midfielders as Barcelona has. However, if Lewandowski joined Real Madrid, there will be more options on its attacking line.

I don't understand the pay cut, it's like La Liga doesn't appreciate what this player has contributed to the league. Rumors that Lionel Messi is expected to extend his Barcelona contract until 2026. He should leave Barcelona, find a new challenge and move out of his comfort zone.

100milions/year with taxes and until 2026 when he will be 39?
I mean everything is possible but maybe it's better to invest these 500 million in something else...

It's definitely one of the best transfers that PSG have ever made I think. I checked their squad and I saw that they had 8 goalkeepers. But why? Do they really need that many GKs? Grin

I don't know why they are signing too many players. They won't even be able to register them all in the end, right? It's hard to understand PSG's strategy.

Donnarumma is a brilliant goalkeeper, a world class one at that, PSG have signed quite a lot of world class players, but definitely this signing ranks up there with them. PSG have money to spend and sometimes they do that carelessly that's why they have so many players, many of whom will never play for them.

Keylor Navas is a very good goalkeeper, but I think he'll be the makeshift goalkeeper to Donnarumma, he will prolly not be happy with that, but he is 35 years of age while Donnarumma is quite younger, if the manager can keep both keepers happy, then they have solved their goalkeeping issues for a very long time.

Most of those players will be going out on Loan spell. Last season, PSG only registered two GK for their squad most of the time so this season it could be Donnarumma and Keylor Navas while the rest will be sent out to another club

Signing most of those top players is one of the way to get some cash flow from another revenue such as merchs so it is understandable because PSG is basically playing on Ligue 1. Thats one of the softest league compared to all the other top league such as Premier League, LaLiga etc

That comes with a significant pay cut for him so yeah Messi really wants to stay on the club and Barcelona made it happen because they want to Messi to retire as one of their legend

Messi will retire in Barcelona shirt, true living legend. We are so lucky to watch him live. Messi will get 35 million € per year. Let's see who will be third player in attacking third of Barcelona after Messi and Agüero, if they sell Griezmann we will see another trio next year.

I think Messi mentally wants to stay in Barcelona. Barcelona's new president Laporta does not want to leave Messi. They need more sponsors now. With the money needed to keep Messi in the squad, Barcelona will be able to add a few young players to the squad. But I hope that, Messi will play at least two more seasons in Barcelona.

What I read in an article about why Lionel Messi still hasn't signed a new contract and Joan Laporta is also optimistic that Messi can stay, actually this is a problem with Barcelona's management that Messi wants can't agree, including not wanting salary cuts and salary arrears before even if it is not finished it will last a lot.

Well if everything can be agreed, I'm sure Messi will continue to stay for a few more seasons, but until now there is still no clear agreement on this but with his national teammate Aguero at least he can survive again.
