Now Messi want to leave Barcelona Manchester City is favourite to have him https://twitter.com/Betfair/status/1295107457275105280?s=20

Messi bought 2 houses in Milan this year.
Messi was rejected by Inter when he was 17 yo if I remember correctly.
Messi was close to Inter when Moratti was president.

Inter is probably cheating as Manchester City did with the FFP-

If Messi will leave my bet is to Inter.

everything is possible if Messi's desire to leave Barcelona is confirmed, Messi's father bought a house near the Inter headquarters, coincidences? During the block for covid, on the Duomo of Milan to bring up the image of Messi, coincidences? Honestly, I don't know if he will eventually move to Milano, but I think Inter is the right team for Messi to end his glorious career and find himself confronting C. Ronaldo. I will focus on Inter as Messi's new team

^  Ooof..  It feels like Barca could go on continuing it's spiral downwards.  Koeman?  It's hard to get excited about his appointment.  Remember Everton?  Cheesy

They should've just broke tradition and hired Poch imho.  But would've Poch break his loyalty with Espanyol?  Wink

Finally, Barcelona officially appointed Ronald Koeman as the new coach, the duration of Koeman's contract for two years at Barcelona.
Koeman replaces Setien who was sacked after a few days ago Barcelona suffered a 2-8 defeat to Bayern Munich. What was surprising
was that after Koeman was chosen to be the new coach of Barcelona, there were many rumors circulating that Koeman would be selling
many players in Barcelona, among others, Busquets, Alba, Rakitic, Luis Suarez and Umtiti. We'll just monitor it for a few days forward
whether it is true or not.

If these are the alternatives, Koeman sounds like Jesus Christ on steroids.
I seriously do not understand Barcelona's board, they can bring whoever they want and their shortlist looks like this? How?
2 assistant managers and Henry who was kicked out from Monaco after 6 months after being 19th at the time. Brilliant.

Ronald Koemann is now officially confirmed as Barcas new head coach.

It's such a shame that Koemann now leaves the Elftal, right before the Euro 20201 and the world cup 2022. He did a great job there and managed to build a strong team. I am sure they would've played an important role in the next tournaments (unlike the last ones). But after he said in an interview back in march that he hopes to become Barca coach one day, it's just logical for him to take the offer.

After losing out on David Silva, Lazio are now turning their attention to James Rodriguez.

Interesting transfer rumour. Rodriguez is now 29 and so I wonder what is the price tag that Real Madrid have in mind. Still it's a good love to off load players struggling. His current contract is till next year June. He also has some interest from United and Arsenal.

There are clubs in China that can buy him as they are cooperated with Barcelona.
Just remember the Iniesta move to Asia.
It would be better if he joins there as he will continue playing football and gaining decent money without really getting the fatigue that La Liga or EPL provides.

He is way too good and still not old enough to have to go there. He can get good money in Europe and most of the players that went to China on big contracts had problems with receiving the money that was promised.

I think there's 0% chance he goes there. I'm reading more and more about the links with Inter, but they don't seem big enough for him in my opinion.

Yes, they finished 2nd and will potentially win the EL but they cannot compete with Juventus for the title and are not good enough to go far in the CL.
But if they won Uefa Europa Cup then surely this could be good for them as they will feel confident for next season and have courage to beat Juventus in next season for double or Serie A as Ronaldo is also not good in Juventus and Inter is doing very good job recently so Messi's next stop in Inter can help him enough instead of going to China or any other way.

Inter would be a good option is Ronaldo will stay in Juventus..
Then, we are going to see those two big players playing in the same league again and the competition is going to be strong again.
The new El Classico is going to be Juve-Inter. Grin

the next weeks will be very interesting Grin

I was thinking about how long it will takes that something like this is coming after the Campion League Match against Bayern Munich.
I wouldnt be surprised if that is or was the reason if this post and article is true , but i can imagine that the story has something true in it.

Inter would be a nice place for maybe ending his Career in the next years.
I am also feeling Messi deserve some good end from this great soccer career so he need to set mind and join Inter Milan because now they have some good things for him and his career and Barcelona also need to live without Messi because they have all from this great player in last many years.

Stuart Pearce has joined club as a first team coach and will work alongside Kevin Nolan and Paul Nevin, who have also signed new contracts https://twitter.com/WestHam/status/1295428289000091663?s=20 

Proper old school British set up, I can’t see that going well. Football has evolved, the tactics those 3 will deploy are outdated. I might bet on West Ham to get relegated.

So sad to see willian leaving Chelsea.
I was one of his fans and I loved the way he was performing in the blues.
It is a mistake that Chelsea left him joining an opponent in the premier league.
I don't believe it's a mistake! If they didn't renew his contract then no two ways about it ,they didn't want him!

The crazy thing about such moves is that the ex-player will always out shine his former team,feel bad for Chelsea...looking forward to seeing Willan against Chelsea hope he gets a hattrick!

It would be best for Messi if he left. I can't really see a club other than Manchester City who could bring him though.

Barcelona would never sell to Madrid and Messi would not go there anyway. It's not a type of transfer for Bayern, he's too expensive for Juventus while Ronaldo is there, Liverpool won't spend big, Chelsea will rather have Havertz and he would probably not go to United. PSG could be an alternative, but they would have to sell either Neymar or Mbappe which they probably won't.

It will be interesting to see how this will play out. I'd consider City as strong favorites.

If he leaves, it's most likely to Manchester City. With Pep he has a coach there where both know each other very well and when Guardiola was Barca coach Messis star really began to shine. Now after City failed to reach the semi finals of the Champions league again, Sheikh Mansour is probably willing to invest even more in the team.

But after that whole legal dispute and the CAS ruling it would be such a bad signal for financial fair play if City can keep throwing around money without any consequences.
