Officially Strahinja Pavlovic aka ex-Salzburg's player join AC Milan, he has outstanding performance in the last two seasons, but he's already old, probably this is the reason why not many top teams interested to sign him.

Actually if we didn't consider his old, he's a good underrated player.



Having Merino will make Arsenal can play with two defensive midfielders, Rice and Merino, this will make Odegaard back as an attacking midfielder. Arsenal already have many quality defenders, I think it's enough for them.

I think the deal has been done with few days ago. Maybe Real Socieded were still in the market trying to get a replacement for him. As they got a personal agreement with Carlos Soler, and the financial agreement with his club, Merino's deal fell through.

Merino will be a good signing for the Gunners. He’s experienced and very technical. I don’t have an issue with his adaptability, because Merino has played for Newcastle United under Rafael Benitez so he won’t need any time to adapt to English football. He made over 20 appearances for them.

I believe Arteta just want to have a solid bench and also can rotate players because of too many competitions and also they need to win at least two silverware. That's what I feel. Arteta will be opening to display more tactics as their squad begins to shape up more.

I don’t understand why everyone is complaining about Liverpool why they haven’t made any signs of any player, well from my own opinion I think the coach is satisfied with the squad he has, Liverpool did not lack any position at this stage, no any of Liverpool players leave the team, if any of Liverpool player has left the team I think it will be those who are not having much time to play under Klopp but at this level, I believe Liverpool still has players that can help the team, can anybody tell me the reason why they want Liverpool to sign another player? We have to look at the squad before we start complaining about the manager that he has not said anything about signing players into the team.

The transfer market has not been closed, there is still time to sign players and I think the coach wants to make sure that the current squad he has can be able to play well, Liverpool has more players than some teams in the premier league and I’m very confident that with the squad Liverpool is going to play very well, even if the coach decides to sign players it will not be more than 2 players, so let wait until September before the transfer window to close and see what Liverpool is going to do.

If Napoli hopes that there will be a club willing to sign Victor Osimhen, so Napoli must not be stubborn and should be realistic. They must be aware that Osimhen did not have an impressive enough performance last season (not like before), so practically it will make the market value go down. But if Napoli still insists on releasing Osimhen at a price from 2 seasons ago, then it could be that no club is interested in him.

I think the option of swapping Osimhen with Lukaku could be a pretty good choice because apart from getting financial income from the exchange, they will also get the players they want. Another option is to lower Osimhen's selling price, maybe that way PSG will make an offer that could become a good deal for both parties.

Talking about this news I think this is fake news and of course there is no truth to it, of course Klopp is thinking about his coaching bench maybe not now but later because right now he wants to enjoy or take a break before returning to the coaching world, how he said at that time he would return, so of course this is fake news because Klopp will return to coaching, but if this is the truth of course there is something else that causes all this to happen because Klopp is a good coach so it is very unfortunate if he leaves the world of football so quickly while he still has many problems that he has not achieved in the world of football. But in my opinion this is fake news and I think they raised this news to deceive the world that Klopp will leave the coaching world, I don't really enjoy football news if it is not Fabrizio Romano who says it because he always tells facts and rarely lies in the news he posts on his social media so this is fake news of course Klopp will return to coaching and is monitoring which country or club he will go to which is more appropriate, all of this is about when he will return.

I am definitely sure that they are not going to loan out Osimhen, that will not be the case, they are looking to sell him without a doubt. It could be PSG, it could be Chelsea, it could be some other team but in the end the yare trying to sell him and just get the money instead.

I understand that they may want Lukaku, and I understand they may even make some profit from that exchange, like get Lukaku for free, give Osimhen and take some money as loan fee as well, all of that could still be "profitable" for them, but it will not be enough, we are talking about a player that could worth 100+ and they are going to look to get that money without a doubt. If we can't make that work somehow then we are going to have some trouble.

What I think will happen is that we are going to end up with a situation that will take a while, and for that to work in the end, we need to be careful, it is going to be very risky and it will not be too simple, we need to see that part. If Osimhen is not sold, that is causing asset that's unloaded for Napoli, they need to unload him quickly and make that money, so they can look for transfer market and see which players they can get with that money.

There is nothing wrong with this and I am not surprised by this news because basically Jurgen Klopp wants to take a break from his job, isn't that the reason he left Liverpool and I think Jurgen Klopp has his own views on his life in the future, maybe he is tired of the hustle and bustle of the football world and wants to enjoy his old age in peace, no one knows about that.
And I'm sure there is nothing wrong with anything here, and it has nothing to do with Liverpool management for Jurgen Klopp's decision, this is a natural thing in someone's life.

It seems that Jurgen Klopp has not confirmed about this, he still has a lot of time to think about his coaching career is still long and at his current age it is still not enough for him to retire, it is indeed tiring to be a manager, let alone coaching big clubs, he also spent a lot of time at Liverpool and has achieved many achievements but it is sad if he has to retire at the peak of his career. Even the England national team is also interested in him, I hope he only rests for a few years and when he is ready he can return to being a coach again.

If he wants to get the salary he wants then going to the Saudi Arabian League is an option and only there he will get the salary he wants.
The top clubs in Europe will not want to pay him a big salary because maybe it is about De Gea's age.
I think if he wants to save his career he should decide to play in the Saudi Arabian league or accept an offer from a European club with a salary that suits the club's demands.

Several offers have been made by clubs and probably most of them are from Saudi Arabia, the latest news is that Genoa are also interested in signing him but may be constrained by the salary he is asking for and Genoa are also looking for a replacement for their first-choice goalkeeper who has been sold.

Who has read this news?
I read this from the social media handle of Supersport that Klopp is bowing out of football coaching career. Who has thought it will end like this?
Nothing is heartbreaking to me than reading this. I thought he was gonna have a year rest and take up a job again, even if a national team. I pray Liverpool should not miss him every weekend and what did Liverpool management do to him. I believe something personal is wrong with Jurgen Klopp. This is not about leaving the stage when the ovation is high.

There's nothing to feel worry here, and we are still a month away from the end of summer transfer season.

I hope so, but it taks too long for liverpool to complete a single transaction. Does liverpool has a transfer shortlist? Im thinking they don't have it.


It's hard to predict what's Arne's plan regarding the team, but let's say we will be make our first signing probably when the time is getting closer to the end of transfer season. Klopp's legacy was strong enough, but i think Arne will still stick with the same squad in the upcoming season. Arne apparently doesn't need a new signing for his squad.

Indeed. Because fake news moves and spreads very quickly and we also cannot stop the spread of the news, then we ourselves are required to filter the various material and news intake that we get to provide the information to others. And then, waiting for official news from a trusted source is one way, by cross-checking from various other supporting media.

Yes, we just have to wait a few days regarding the closing of the agreement with the club. €30m is a pretty good value for Merino with his position as a Central Midfield, and his ability can also be a Defensive Midfield. Because originally, Arsenal currently does not have a central midfielder. So this will really boost the lineup. Most likely to be paired with their Arsenal Defensive Midfield, Declan Rice.

Arne Slot is a new coach so it is impossible for him not to bring in new players I'm sure he already has plans or has even sent offers to some players while an agreement has not been reached. Yesterday Fabrizio Romano posted news about Rio Ngumoha the young player from Chelsea the 16-year-old has been linked with Liverpool, it seems Liverpool are targeting young players and avoid expensive players or Liverpool return to their old ways of prioritizing investment in players?

We also heard rumors regarding Mohamed Salah wanting to move to the Saudi Pro League if this news is true then Liverpool must prepare a replacement and also a reserve player and Liverpool could also use the release fee to bring in new players. Anyway, there are still many possibilities that will happen before the transfer window closes.

Real Sociedad's Mikel Merino is an ideal option for Arsenal. With Emile Smith Rowe leaving, Arsenal have reason to step up negotiations for this deal. Merino While perhaps not the most inspirational player, the Merino midfielder is tall, strong, technically sound, and capable of taking on multiple roles in midfield. He is very strong in hand-to-hand combat and is also very good in the air. And a move to the Emirates would be a huge step forward in Merino's career at the age of 28.


PSG's waste players are good products of other clubs. Carlos Soler is not appreciated by the French giant because they have too many stars. He should go to Real Sociedad to save his career. Carlos Soler is highly regarded for his ability to recover the ball and play aggressively. Therefore, Soler will return to the football environment in La Liga.

It is so suprising and I doubt if Slot would be going into this upcoming season with a big club like Liverpool FC, and as new manager, without further equiping the team with new signings, that's a very big risk and I think something is wrong somewhere. A lot of Liverpool fans I know of are really worried about the whole situation, sometime ago a friend of mine who supports Liverpool told me during a conversation that he feels his club has gone broke and the board is hiding it, he further said that his reason for saying that is because several players have ended their loan tenure and about two senior players have been released due to contract expiration but then the club has failed to sign replacements for them, and that what may be the reason if not lack of transfer funds? Well he might be wrong and that statement might be due to his frustration, but I believe fans have every right to be worried cause, their tough rivals are signing quality players yet Slot a newly introduced manager in the Premier league is still comfortable without new signings, well let's see the magic he wants to perform, it might be that he's really comfortable with the players Jurgen Klopp left him or maybe they could start bringing new players from next month since they still have more weeks left until the transfer window closes.

Todd Boehly is an irresponsible owner as he doesn't know how to manage a football club. It might be too soon for some of you to agree with me but from the way he has been managing Chelsea football club, it is looking as if he has nothing good to offer as everything he does just goes wrongly. In just the last two years Chelsea have signed 3 goalkeepers and this is the total in just 5 years, 6 goalkeepers. Goalkeepers shouldn't be something that a club should be changing every season. The coach has to make one goal keeper the main one and then have a backup and focus on winning games. Spending this amount of money on goalkeeper isn't good spending.

It looks like Slot will try to create a situation where he will be confident in the choices made by Klopp before even though if you look at the whole of course this is full of risks when they are not looking for a single player to bring in to fill the gap that was empty last season.

Currently they only call up 2 of their academy players namely Bobby Clark and Jaros who are tried in the senior team which I think this is still very risky for Slot.
But the transfer is still continuing and we still have to continue to wait until the transfer is completely closed because sometimes there are always unexpected and there could be a show given by Liverpool later towards the end of the transfer before it closes because indeed if this is forced without spending a penny I think it could be fatal for Liverpool.

Transfer News

After  positive feedback from Real Sociedad in the deal of Mikel Merino now  the EPL club Arsenal is now edging closer to the final agreement of the deal with the excess of the €30 million fee. However, the signing of Mikel Merino will give Arsenal a big boost. Today's match will also show very clearly what kind of players Arsenal lack.


While on the other hand Real Sociedad is also on the way of talks with Paris Saint Germain to sign Carlos Soler for Mikel Merino's replacement. Real Sociedad has started talks with PSG in advance to sign Spanish midfielder Carlos Soler, that is, if Arsenal completes the deal with Mikel Merino, then Real Sociedad will rush to sign Soler.

What did you think?

Lukaku is Antonio Conte’s main target because of the Osimhen’s case that he wants to leave the team.

Conte can be comfortable with Osimhen if the team didn’t get Lukaku as he wants, his preference was because he knew the player wants to leave and the management has probably agreed to let him go, if not Osimhen is a good striker that will help Conte to achieve greatness in Napoli.

The team is not bad to that extent of going down just because they lose one player which is even a striker. They won the league last season’s back and most of the players are still in the team, therefore, even if Osimhen leaves and they didn’t sign any player, they can still do well because Conte is a good coach that have experienced the Seria A.

Hmm... what's wrong with his age? He'll only be 26 in December. I'd say he's still far from his peak and has at least 5 seasons ahead of him where he can play at his best and even improve. Remember, for comparison, that Zidane moved to Real Madrid at the age of 29 for a then-record fee. Considering that medicine has made many strides forward since then, we can say that Osimhen has half of his great career ahead of him.
