For a defender of Mat Hummels quality, I wasn't expecting him to struggle in getting a new club after leaving Borussia Dortmund at the end of last season. The former Germany international was a rockie kind of defender during his days at Dortmund but considering his age, I don't think it'll be wise for him to play for another European team when he has the option of going to Saudi Arabia where he'll earn a lot of money. Rejecting offers from Saudi clubs just to sign for Bologna  where it's almost impossible for him to win any major trophy with k don't think is a wise decision for the German veteran but since he wants to remain in Europe, his decision will always be respected.

It's clear that Chelsea are no competitor for the title, they focus more on building the team and just getting to a level where they can fit in on other top leagues, most importantly returning back to the Champions League. I feel where you underestimate Chelsea is now comparing them to Aston villa, there is a gap between last season and this season, Chelsea are not getting cut off  from the top four in the Premier League this time, looking at their choices of players, they now hold the ball more comfortably and relaxed which enhances their possibility of possessing matches and winning them.

Any striker coming to Chelsea as a lover of the club not just about the deal, should be more concerned about the future than were the team is currently. Chelsea are still in construction under a new management, it takes time and efforts to some level to achieve all that is wanted.

I believe it is because of the poor performance of Chelsea last season that has made a lot of people not to believe in them again and their chances of winning the league next season. Chelsea was already getting better before the end of last season despite not making the top4 last season I think getting a good striker they can be able to perform better than Aston Villa who knows if they will even end up winning the league or finishing as runners up since they will not participate in the champions league next season.

Indeed it will be difficult for some good players especially strikers to accept to come to play for Chelsea next season due to their inability to participate in the European competition no doubt but getting Victor osimhen to play for them is also difficult because of the amount placed on him right now but it the team will be willing to pay in order to bring Victor osimhen I think they will be able to challenge other teams in the league next season.

I couldn't stop laughing when I read your post. Anyway, looking at this situation in Barcelona, makes me sad and also laugh, because once upon a time, Barcelona was known as a big club and the competitive rival of Real Madrid, but after seeing current conditions, it makes one laugh 😂 that now Barcelona would now buy players on installation. By the way, you rightly said that these people in Barcelona should drown in shame because, because of the corrupt staff, Barcelona cannot afford to buy a player. 
 
Shame 😔 on them

Yes PSG have already shown up interest in Julian Alvarez and I think they are fully committed to him, but we also know that another competitor is also in the race to sign Julian Alvarez and that is Atlatico Madrid. From the below source, you will all know that in the transfer of Julian Alvarez, Atletico Madrid has also shown commitment and wants to buy Julian Alvarez for €70 million plus €20 million in bonuses. Atlatico Madrid want to sell Joe Filix to Barcelona and if they don't buy, I think they won't be able to sign Julian Alvarez for such a big price. Let's see which club wins the competition to sign Julian Alvarez.

Indeed, the fee is the same as what was offered before but the difference here is that while previously Barcelona tried to pay in installments with terms that were actually unreasonable, for now they immediately try to pay in full.

Their finances are still very problematic and we know that, although it cannot be denied when they dare to pay then indirectly we can understand that their finances can still handle it but the problem is not only enough about paying because they also have to be able to stabilize player salaries and several other things as their financial support.

Barcelona can actually avoid things like this but what I see for now is that they don't really want to solve this quickly so they seem to continue to struggle in the same problem.

Chelsea have never complained about how high the price of a player is, they just go for it without thinking if the player is worth it or not. For Osimhen any amount being placed on him is fine but from how the Napoli owners are taking this deal I don't think they want the best for the player, reducing his wages for a reason best known to them and Conte doesn't even want anything to do with the player if not he would have been included to his plans next season, after Osimhen is still in his best of form. But I don't think PSG are ok with having Osimhen come over to France to start a new chapter and I kinda think they are going to get someone different to replace Mbappe.

There are indications that Alvarez could leave, previously he was linked with several clubs and also PSG. Romano's latest report regarding the Argentine international player, said that Julian Alvarez asked about his future, although in the same report Alvarez said he was happy at Manchester City. but it does not rule out the possibility that he could leave, especially since the rumor is that he asked for more playing minutes. to be honest, I haven't read more recent news regarding Julian Alvarez and PSG. it could be, this news indicates that PSG is serious about their shortlist approach in this transfer window. because, PSG has been linked with several other names as we discussed. for example, the possibility of Nico Williams to PSG is difficult to realize. although, it is possible that this winger accepts an offer from the French League giants. while Osimhen, PSG is not willing to pay Napoli's demands by paying his release clause. although, Osimhen is reportedly willing to move to PSG. now, Julian Alvarez is linked with PSG. it could be like that, especially if PSG gives an agreement to play him as the main starter. Well, there is still enough time in the summer transfer window. Let's see which players PSG will bring to Parc des Princes.

Hummels isn't actually that old and he could still play in a good european league. I could very well imagine that he could play in the Turkish Super League, they like older and more experienced players. But I haven't read of any offers yet.

I am of the opinion that Chelsea is not at all interested in spending crazy amounts of money to buy Victor Osimhen, he has blatantly said that he would like to go and play in France and PSG was interested in the player but with the arrival of Antonio Conte at Napoli he will probably be able to stay one more year. Be that as it may, vlahovic also has a very expensive price tag, for Juventus fans he is Halaand's direct competitor

One cannot really vouch for Hansi Flick yet when the season has not yet began. For every team that is bringing in a new coach hopes that they perform better than the previous one, especially in the case that the previous coach was sacked due to poor performance. In cases like this, not all new coach does better than the previous one and they might end up getting sacked again after a poor display of good management for the team, this was the case of Chelsea when they’ve been sacking coaches back to back ever since Thomas Tuchel was sacked as head coach. Barcelona might have a different case scenario, but we cannot ascertain that until the season begins. I don’t really know much about Hansi Flick or how much he can do well with managing a big team like Barcelona, but when the season begins, one can tell the direction of things and know his loopholes and great achievement he can bring to the club.

Well, I want to first tell inhact that Chelsea has no chances of winning the English Premier League. They are not contenders. They are just trying their best to make the top 4 which will also be a challenge for them. I don't see Chelsea finishing above Aston Villa coming season. It is not all about wish, but then the club needs to show working.

Talking about Chelsea going for another striker is also not an easy task. Just  few strikers will be willing to go to a club that is not playing in any European competition. They should make sure Osimhen sign.

If Victor Osimhen is becoming too expensive for Chelsea to be able to afford, why don't they go for other strikers in the market that'll be less expensive and have some experience in the premier league already. Chelsea aren't going to be playing champions league football therefore it is going to be hard to get them to sign big players without putting big fees on the table. Chelsea mess up when they played very badly last season and lost the chances to play in Europa, with that competition Chelsea would had being able to get top players to come play and build with them. Before Chelsea waste money on players they should look at other options available.

In a financial crisis, any steps that Barcelona management wants to take will be very limited, so we must be able to understand whatever transfer plans they will execute. Barcelona management must also consider FFP regulations, so as not to cause sanctions in the future. The plan is that Joao Felix will be returned to Atletico Madrid, as a replacement Hansi Flick must rely on the potential of Ansu Fati. Barcelona had said goodbye to Joao Felix on the club official website, but then the post was deleted. Most recently, Barcelona intends to submit an offer to extend the loan with the option to make Joao Felix status permanent at the end of the season. Meanwhile, Barcelona is actually having difficulty finding a club interested in Ansu Fati, because the player is currently injured. With the uncertain situation, it is actually difficult to predict Barcelona transfer steps.

Until now Mats Hummels' future is still unclear after parting ways with Dortmund, but he still has hopes to consider joining Bologna if it is possible. I think it would be the right choice for Mats Hummels, especially since Bologna has just lost Riccardo Calafiori who chose to join Arsenal.

With this, he will have the opportunity to become a starter based on his experience and current performance and he will also be able to feel the new atmosphere in Serie A and also return to the champions league. Mats Hummels actually also received offers from the Saudi league team and also the French team but he chose to reject them and currently a transfer to Bologna will be his priority.

Well I don't think I can make any justification among the two coaches because the league hasn't officially kicked off and whatever form or brilliant performance that Barcelona might pull off during this period won't really count because they might start off with really good vibes and then when the leagues start they might still struggle to keep up with the form.

It's true I don't doubt about the money for PSG but the management already has considerations when the price is expensive whether it will be worth buying or not, if indeed Alvarez wants more minutes to play then he can go to PSG after all the dreams Alvarez has done have been fulfilled because he has won all his titles.

If there is a rift with Pep Guardiola then he is no longer comfortable at Manchester City and I'm sure he's just a substitute player in the coming season, but still have to admit that Alvarez can still be relied on at Manchester City, then if it's a matter of salary I don't doubt if Alvarez's desire wants high pay.

There is nothing impossible when it comes to PSG. Especially, if Alvarez wants more playing time, then he will have to leave Man City unless he is satisfied with just being a super sub. Ligue 1 is still less prestigious than the Premier League, but if he joins PSG he will not only get more playing time but will also get a bigger salary. I also heard rumors that the relationship between Guardiola and Alvarez is not that good. Now we just have to see whether all this is just speculation or Alvarez will really leave Man City.

Julian Alvarez reportedly wants to leave but so far we don't know which team will take him, from several sources Atletico Madrid is the team that is interested in him and as you said PSG might be one of them. Indeed, Manchester City has set a high price for the release of this player around 80-90 million well, maybe this is also the reason why Atletico Madrid did not continue the offer then PSG is the next target because it is considered have sufficient finances.

On the other hand, Manchester City also doesn't really need this player because he is only a second tier player so if there is a club that wants to pay a high price for him, why not? Manchester City spent just £21m to bring him in in 2022 this means Manchester City has the potential to make bigger profits around 50 million clearly this is a profitable and right investment.

I see why they charge greater fees to clubs that are interested in signing him. Napoli should cut his fees if they are willing to sell him. Chelsea have the money to buy Osimhen, but the money is too high for the club because they don't know if he will perform in the club or not, and PSG are not interested in Osimhen because is not that better like the last two seasons because last season their performance was very poor, they didn't do well in the league and the champions league, and I am just thinking that Osimhen will still stay for Napoli for next season because no club wants to buy him anymore because the price is too expensive and is not like that key player again.

Let see if Chelsea will increase their money and buy the player because I am sure he will help the team since Chelsea strikers are suffering from scoring goals. If they get the opportunity and buy the Osimhen, I am sure he will be the best player that will be scoring goals for the team. I will like the coach to do something because I want Chelsea to do their best and get the chance of winning the league. It has been a long time since Chelsea won the Premier League and even champions. since when Tuchel won for them against Manchester City, Chelsea should try and transfer Osimhen to the team.

A small surprise from Barcelona to let Fati go back in the squad. I thought that he had finished, but it seems Barcelona has not yet given up on him. Fati's peak performance has passed, and he is a very bad player. The fact is that he has always failed when he has played football anywhere.
Even Brighton also benched him. Fati is not physically good, and he's super injury-prone. I think Barcelona has no choice but to let him in because this club has run out of money. But, replacing Felix with Fati is like swapping a bad player for another bad player.

I'm skeptical about whether Fati can break into the starting eleven. I'd prefer Flick to take Félix's replacement from La Masia rather than him.
