red-bull leipzig has officially signed 2 new players for the next bundesliga season today:

Hee-chan Hwang as Timo Werner replacement

I am seeing more and more Chinese players come up the ranks in Europe,,, now for me the big surprise would be to see a Chinese player sign as a regular in England. But the continent waiting for football talent is India I think. Anyway big signing and the guy will be so proud to play at a club like Leipzig!

Asian =/= Chinese! Hwang is from South Korea, not China.

But otherwise you're right. There aren't really that many Chinese players in the European top leagues. In fact, I only know Wu Lei (Link) from Espanyol by heart without any further research. Other Asian players are more common, mostly Japanese or South Korean players.

Speculation regarding Jorginho's future with Chelsea has come to the attention in recent weeks, although he is still under a long-term contract until 2023, not a few predict that the Italian will soon leave from Stamford Bridge.

This certainly brings back the news if Jorginho will become one of the players who could potentially be released by the Blues at the end of the season. Not a few who predicted that he would reunite with Maurizio Sarri at Juventus.

Jorginho is a good player but he’s not so physically strong which is often important in the the PL. Perhaps the slower pace of the Italian league suits him better.

I heard some rumors that Mandjukic could still return to Italy, of course not in Juve but in Verona.
Reportedly, the Croatian coach of Verona, Ivan Juric, really appreciates him and wants to bring him as a reinforcement for next season when Verona could play in Europe as well.
If that happens it will be interesting to watch the matches between Juve and Verona given that Mandjukic will certainly be highly motivated against the former club. Grin

Well, that makes sense, yes. He knows him well and has a good idea of what he would be getting.

Regarding the Havertz transfer - that one is by far the most interesting one for me. Yes, he can play the false 9 (deep striker) role, but from what we've seen so far, he's at his best in a no. 10 role.
The problem? Not so many teams play with no. 10 anymore and Havertz will be sold for huge money. Yes, he's good enough to play anywhere in midfield or attack but he might just be that case where a player is at his best in a position most teams don't play with, his quality there demands a high price tag and clubs are reluctant to pay that price to gamble with him in a different position.

I think whoever gets him will get a player who can play wing, 10, false 9 and offensive midfield, but it will be an exciting transfer to follow. In this situation, ~100 million is a huge gamble. No matter the quality.

Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka were delivering pretty strong performances during the last weeks. In addition to that FC Bayern also has Michaël Cuisance and they just signed Tanguy Nianzou from Paris-Saint-Germain, who can also play the central position.

Kimmich has been playing in midfield for sometime now, but we know his favorite position is at right back, versatile players who can perform in more than one wing is what managers love, pep did it when he was at Bayern, IIRC he played Philip Lahm in the defensive midfield role, just as Flick is doing now with Joshua Kimmich; but with time or prolly if there's a change of manager in the team, the player usually returns back to his normal wing. That being said Kimmich may prolly start next season at right back and imo Nianzou is not just good enough.

More rumours:
Is Mandjukic really potential candidate for Inter? It seems that La Gazzetta dello Sport think so Grin

Manchester City and Juventus are leading the race to sign Adama Traore.
Chelsea are in pole position to sign Kai Havertz, according to the news from Sky Sports.

What do you think, is possible that he will play again in some strong club in Europe or his time passed?
Where he will go now?

Nah, don't really think so. You don't go to a top club after having a goalless season in Qatar.
I think he'd even be a bad transfer for clubs in the Croatian league in his current state if he would want a big contract.

His ego is huge, he's disruptive to the atmosphere and he wasn't a top player even in his prime.

I'd like him to return to Croatian league, but in a normal role - in which his overblown salary would not halt a club's overall progress.

It is more and more likely that Liverpool will not pursue the transfer of Thiago. It's really a shame because he's a perfect player and Klopp rates him too, but due to the coronavirus crisis Liverpool have said they will not spend a lot during this sumer, and although Thiago is the ultimate player to push their midfield to a new level, they are packed with players there and another one would mean somebody would have to be sold.

I would not mind that because Thiago is individually better than any one of our current ones and also fits our style of play, and we would not be selling Henderson or Fabinho. If Gini signs his extension, he's safe as well and if we could sell Keita or Chamberlain and replace them with Thiago, it would be a major improvement.

However, Chamberlain is really loved among his teammates and Keita has started to show potential, so the question remains if Thiago at this point really is something that Liverpool should be fighting for.

In my opinion definitely, but I'd rather have a backup left back and another option up front.

If news of Thiago Alcantara leaving Bayern (to Liverpool) turns out to be true and now Javi Martinez, I don't think it's too good for Bayern, losing two senior midfield players at the same time going into next season. I know they are both above 29, but they bring experience in the center of the field for the German champions. Any news on possible replacements?

Javi Martinez is about to turn 32 in two month. Unfortunately he isn't 29 anymore. There were rumors that FC Liverpool wants to trade Naby Keïta + a decent amount of cash for Thiago, but no idea if that is true. In my opinion FC Bayern might only need a (young) back-up for the central position (if Thiago leaves at all). Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka were delivering pretty strong performances during the last weeks. In addition to that FC Bayern also has Michaël Cuisance and they just signed Tanguy Nianzou from Paris-Saint-Germain, who can also play the central position.

The huge amount of money put into teams are not something owners are doing so that they could win something and just be happy about it, it is actually a great financial decision as well. Because, if you build a team that can sustain for a long time, a young team that can go for 5 years at least without a transfer and 10 years with only few transfers, you are actually spending money right now for future profits. Also why do you think Manchester United makes that much money?

Because they were amazingly great under SAF and he took that team to multiple premier league championship and constant champions league high levels so they were worldwide known for a loooong time.

Same goes for Real Madrid and Barcelona as well right now. So, when you put so much money into PSG, they will eventually win something and get more famous and will be a lot more known all around the world, which will cause them to make more money and won't need the owner to put in too much money or even zero.

These clubs and their owners do not have "unlimited" amount of money, in the end they are billionaires but they have a limit to it as well, and football is not like basketball where money is short, you spend hundreds of millions of dollars for each player. Look at PSG and how much it cost the team to build that and tell me thats sustainable, obviously its not and because of that I believe that these owners may spend a lot for their team for a while but eventually either you get success or they can't keep paying hundred million every single year, thats not really something they can afford even as a super rich person. Hence why these teams need success, these teams need fans, and these teams need to be world wide known and loved like Manchester United, otherwise they can't just keep going like this and will become a team not going for a title constantly at all and become good in their leagues and thats it.

Clubs don't have to win the Champions League to be rich. For example, Lids will earn about the same, maybe more money just for promotion in the Premier League.
Do you know that is Manchester United in the top there the richest club in the world? they make a profit regardless of the results. only Adidas pays them ~80million annually on sponsor contract.
Chelsea and PSG owners take profits from other business, winning CL is more for reputation than for money. Of course, extra money is not bad for them.
there will be small clubs in trouble, the rich can only be richer in the end.

That was not what I meant. I talked about the examples of clubs who spend a fortune in the hopes that their dream squad will win the Champions League. This is City and PSG especially who both have their owners want nothing but to win it. So if their gamble did not pay off, then they have debt. If they win, they get a lot of prize money and big fanbase who buy their merchandise.

I don't think it would turned into debt.

They know what they are doing , it's a real huge investment... you can't expect an instant result of course .
Unless they are as lucky as roman abramovich at chelsea .. transform an ordinary club into top European clubs and it takes around 8 to 10 years until the club get the first ever champions league title.

Manchester City and psg won't regret their decision to make a crazy big transfer involved huge amount of money every year , first their fund is like unlimited then second they are making way for long term business.

Manchester City have spent over 1.5 billion pounds on 278 players in the last 10 years .
While PSG have spent over 1.2 billion on 151 players.

According to "insider" ManU has rejected an offer from Juventus of 80m for Pogba.
Keep in mind this news will never be confirmed, so I guess is your choice to believe on it or not.

The extra year on Paul's contract seems to be an option only valid for English teams so basically, if a team from the UK wants Pogba, United can extend the contract of PP6 for 1 year cause they will risk to lose him for free.

HOWEVER, if a team outside the UK wants him at the end of his contract they can't extend the contract.

The truth is that Paul Pogba will not be leaving Manchester United; the vibes and the cruise he demands are now available with Bruno; With United aiming to add Grealish, Sancho and Van de beek to the ranks at old trafford; then its a title challenging squad already. All that is left now is for United to agree a new contract extension for Pogba.
