Mikel Merino is about to join Arsenal and play for this team soon. Arsenal want to get the team improved and finally win the premier league title from Manchester City after years of losing it and that's why they decided to hire more players for Arteta.
They want to hire Mikel Merino the player of Real Sociedad. Merino has good physics and since he is not going to expensive option for Arsenal and they should only pay 30 million euros he is a good option for Arteta and his team.


 

It reason is quite simple. If you were a jobless man, then why would you reject Barcelona's lucrative offer for you? If i were Flick, I would also like to accept an offer that came from Barcelona. This is pretty obvious Flick will not be getting any risk by becoming Barcelona's coach.

He's only getting a burden as a coach with so many targets and terms from Barcelona. Also, don't mind a target from your fans, and this would not be affecting how well your career in Barcelona. It's rare to see the team's decision being intervened by the fans. Also, the financial issue in Barcelona is the club's fault. Hansi Flick cannot be blamed.

Barcelona fans know well the financial state of their club. This is why they are not putting high expectations for Flick's job as a new coach.

Klopp decision when he was decide to break from football was final and currently he really enjoying family time such as vacationing with his family which is something like this he couldn't get when coaching Liverpool because we all know Klopp is very busy when train this team before and Klopp has spend over than 23 years during his managerial since 2001 so i think it's normal if he want to take a break from football and want spend more time with his family

So far Klopp hasn't decide will retired permanently from football which mean after his break then Klopp probably will thinking possibility to return to training the particular teams but he says everything will be decided in the next several months depend on the situations and indeed currently Klopp has been rumoured to several national team and clubs but apparently that is only remains rumour because until now Klopp still have new clubs

The latest rumour i have read is Klopp was linked to England National Team and we all know after Southgate was withdraw from his position currently England have no manager and so far England Football federation still attempts want to hire new managers and previously this team was linked to Guardiola but this rumour was never happend because apparently Guardiola not interested to train England even so with Klopp that he has no plan to being an new manager of England and Klopp has been refuse that rumour too

The main obstacle is Osimhen's inconsistent performance as we have seen in the last 2 seasons so that clubs are hesitant to bring him in especially because the price is also expensive obviously they must have considered it. Imagine if Osimhen had been able to play consistently in the last 2 seasons, the situation would have been different and there is a possibility that Osimhen will be on the radar of elite clubs. The only way to get them to sign Osimhen is to set a lower price but I doubt Napoli will do it moreover as you said Napoli spent 70 million when they brought him in so it doesn't make sense if they let him go for less than 70 million. If there is no other option then Osimhen will remain with Napoli next season.

Napoli bought Osimhen at a high price from Lille, but Napoli should not be looking for a profit that is double their previous purchase price, Many teams that were previously linked with Osimhen actually decided that they did not want to continue negotiations with Napoli, because Napoli were holding out for the same price they previously decided for Osimhen, currently Chelsea and PSG have the financial power to them buy Osimhen but they don't do it because maybe they don't think it's worth buying Osimhen at the current high price, besides, don't financial fair regulations also require each team to be more selective in buy players so that their income and financial expenses can be balanced later, while Chelsea has currently spent a lot of money to buy players and of course it is very risky if they spend even more money to get Osimhen, while PSG seems like they currently don't want to buy Osimhen price dearly because of Osimhen inconsistent performance in the last 4 seasons.

But in the end it was also by mutual agreement and Hansi Flick knew when he agreed to coach Barcelona in place of Xavi that he had to be prepared with all the consequences so that no matter whether he came at the wrong time or not in the end everything remains the same where Flick has to be responsible for the decisions that have been made no matter the difficult condition of Barcelona at this time.

Pep has also got Dani Olmo as a good addition now although there is some concern about the financial problems that Barcelona will face after signing Dani Olmo.
Flick must now be able to survive and compete in the race for the championship that occurs because indeed, regardless of Barcelona's current condition, they still have to be able to maintain the rivalry between Madrid and Barcelona that has been created for a long time so that Flick as much as possible must be able to maximize their current strength even though their situation is very difficult.

Actually, Osimhen scoring capability has made him to become one of the most sought-after striker we've had in the past couple of seasons, And to me Osimhen's playing style is well suited to the Chelsea's tactical system.

Despite that Chelsea hasn't been in their best performance for the past couple of seasons, but you're categorically saying that Chelsea is a wrong club for Osimhen doesn't make much of sense as currently there has been newly appointed manager in place and a couple of other things that has changed too, like stepping up the team with new signings of players and to going for new keeper and more to come, Now should Osimhen come into the team, his physical ability will help him adapt quickly and while his speed will help Chelsea have a devastating counter-attacking team, and playing alongside Cole Palmer and Enzo Fernández would have his goal scoring ability increase.

Therefore, making team Chelsea improve this very season and possibly lifting some other trophies aside the Premier League trophy.

I think it's natural for Napoli to want a big profit from the sale of Victor Oshimen because the player is very valuable and has contributed greatly to the club so far, Napoli when they bought Oshimen from Lille for 70 million euros and then after playing for 4 seasons they started to raise the price because they felt Oshimen could be on par with other expensive players, Jude Bellingham, Erling Haaland and also Mbappe but for some reason there is not much interest in Oshimen's current price even PSG or Chelsea even though they are actually quite capable of buying this player.

The job is not a difficult one truthfully. Barcelona are just lacking finance and facing unnecessary injuries without having a good squad depth. I don't agree that the job is difficult, if you say it's difficult, then it should be because, they're yet to make any significant adding into the sqaud.

They need a defensive midfielder who can replace Sergio Busquet, Nico Williams would be a great addition but that would most likely be during the next transfer window. Getting him right now would be difficult.
Selling unwanted players would have been key but the players they had in mind all have been reported Injured even before the transfer window commenced.

Having no signatures sends a clear picture and message that, Barcelona wouldn't be fighting for the La Liga. Finishing top four would be the goal. As for Girona, repeating what they did last season will be tough.

Victor Osimhen is no longer the most sought-after signing on the transfer market like this time last year. It was Napoli's decline and Osimhen himself. Since playing professionally, the 25-year-old striker's biggest problem has been his ability to contribute regularly. Osimhen is no longer the dangerous threat in the box that he was in the 2022-23 campaign. So clubs are doubting the talent of this player. They are very cautious because they can be cheated with the current price.


If Osimhen did not play for glory but for money, then I think everything would be solved very simply. He should go to Saudi Arabian clubs. They have enough money to release Osimhen from his Napoli contract and will not hesitate to pay him a big salary. But if it's for glory then my condolences to him, maybe he should wait for the contract to end. If Napoli does not lower the price, European clubs will remove Osimhen from their recruitment list this summer.

Hansi Flick is aware that the job is difficult but he must have thought about how to bring Barcelona so that Hansi Flick is willing to take this job.
I think this is a natural thing and Barcelona's internal is not as bad as reported and they still have a lot of ammunition to be able to rise in the future.
Barcelona has many quality young players and I think that will be a big capital for them and Hansi Flick's coaching career will improve rapidly if he succeeds with Barcelona.

I don't know why Hansi Flick would accept the offer to coach Barcelona with their current poor financial condition, this will be a problem for Hansi Flick who is not free to choose the players he wants for the strategy he will implement, and can only utilize the young players currently available, this is a challenge for Hansi Flick, if Barcelona fans demand more from Hansi Flick with Barcelona's current condition, in my opinion that is excessive, Barcelona must immediately rise and fix its finances, so that it can become a feared football club like in the Pep Guardiola era.

Honestly, I think the current situation is frustrating Victor Osimhen, there have been several interests in him but it seems that Napoli is the issue. No doubt, they bought him and made him stay in an expensive condition, but being reasonable about their negotiation is also important. The PSG would have concluded the whole episode if not for the overbearing attitude of Napoli, they want more and I wonder what other clubs could possibly offer than the PSG's €130m plus other benefits.

As for Osimhen, judging by what I could psychologically decipher about him, I think the guy is not playing for the glory anymore but for the money, he may not care like many other players. This could explain why he seems to be willing to accept offers from any serious clubs be it EPL, French Ligue 1, SPL and others. I hope he can still end up in PSG for more money, however, if it's for the glory, EPL is the key, but Chelsea is the wrong club for that. With Arsenal, he still has a better shot to win important trophies.

Actually, I quite feel sorry for Hansi Flick. He is a great coach, and indeed Barcelona is also a great team but I think Hansi Flick came to Barcelona at the wrong time. Like Xavi, Hansi Flick will most likely face the same problem. Barcelona's financial problems make them have limited spending. So it is clearly quite difficult for Barcelona to get Nico Williams and Dani Olmo at the same time unless they want to let go of some of their players to get fresh income that they can use. Another option is to reduce the salary budget for the players but obviously, it can trigger disharmony and I think that will be a tough problem for the new coach.

Jurgen Klopp is now 57 years old and wanted a break. And this is why he has stepped down as Liverpool coach. And by now we know that Jurgen Klopp wants to stay away from football for now. And he wants to enjoy the holiday.

Klopp: Count Me Out Of England Managerial Job
A few days ago we heard strong rumors that the England management wanted Jurgen Klopp to coach the England team. But I don't see any possibility of that happening now. Jurgen Klopp has also distanced himself from the discussion. And so far in several news I have seen that Jurgen Klopp is not interested in coaching England. Even now he is not interested in taking any new responsibility.

Barcelona is trying to force it and in my opinion this is because of panic in preparing strength for next season. Buying Dani Olmo in installments will force their finances to be unstable and on another occasion they also want young player Nico Williams so that it will increase the financial burden at the same time. The club where they play will definitely let go when they get an offer like what they want, but I doubt Barcelona can buy them both at the same time.

What Barcelona needs to do is to make the club's finances more stable and buying players in the hope of competing with other clubs will be very difficult in the midst of poor financial conditions. The strength they have now is quite good although it will take time for them to develop very well.

Its crazy offer giving Barcelona for signing Dani Olmo trough installments payment because Leipzig won't sell his players without getting cash once time.
Dani Olmo have impressive performance for Leipzig last season and success keep his consistency performance in Euro 2024 with Spain, currently not only with Barcelona but also Manchester City have interested for signing Dani Olmo and give more excited offering than Barcelona.

Barcelona need to sell their players and get fund for signing Dani Olmo with full payment without installments, based on market values of Dani Olmo around 64 million euro Barcelona need that amount if want sign Olmo or waiting until his contract expiring around several years later with RB Leipzig.

I honestly can't imagine what Klopp's life would be like away from the football field.
I know he is almost 60 years old, but his physical and especially mental capacity (reasoning and strategy) still seems to be very good.

I know Klopp is tired, but does he really believe that he will be able to live a peaceful life just enjoying life and playing with his grandchildren?
Nooooo!!!!

He himself said that it is "the end of him as a coach", but he did not rule out other areas of activity.

I believe he should take a sabbatical to rest his head and then get back to work with some advisory or consultancy work for the clubs.


The fact is that Klopp still has a lot to contribute to football.

Im also feeling curious about that. It feels like he was not feeling confidence with his decision, and he is now confusing many parties with his inconsistent statement. I'd be simple if klopp says yes or no to continue his career rather than create a vague statement like that.
Many parties are not thinking about what's gonna happen to the future of his career, but if he decides to retire then let hin to do that.,

There is no something clear about Klopp future. I even read on some media, they said Klopp will retire.

Anyway, Klopp may feel already get anything from football, he wants enjoy his life with something new. However, if he says he doesn't know his decision on the next 2 months, there is still chance to see him again as a manager. If he returns to football, no doubt he will return as a manager (coach).   But we don't know if he prefers to manage a club or a national team. I suspect he will stop to manage a club, he will find out a chance to manage a national team. It is very possible if someday we will see him as a coach of German national team.

Yes, we surely won't see his comeback in the near future. He may need a lot of rest, he has no intention to return to football in the near future. We don't need to force him, he has the right to enjoy his life. I think the same, he may return when he feels to manage an interesting team. I personally think the most interesting project is to manage German national team.
