Holly shit, it seems the news are real, I found few more articles on same topic

This will have big repercussions on City if true and stays like this. Best players in the world (and arguably one of top coaches) will not be so keen to play for team out of Champions League. I expected a money fine but two years without CL is really gonna hurt them. Of course, City still has the right to appeal and I have a feeling they will manage to reduce the fine to maximum one year without CL.
Edit: Few more links, all sources write pretty much the same stuff and probably copy from each other but maybe some of you value these ones articles more.

German newspapers are rumoring that Liverpool FC might focus on the 23 year-old center-forward Timo Werner, currently playing at RB Leipzig. What do you guys think? In my opinion Timo Werner would perfectly fit into Juergen Klopps system. He could really make a good addtion to Liverpools squad. His current market value is about €75m.
Quote from: https://twitter.com/iMiaSanMia
Timo Werner's desire to join Bayern has dropped massively after the latest statements of Salihamidžić and Hainer. Liverpool currently lead the race for the player who knows that his playstyle fits them perfectly and that he can achieve his dream of winning the CL [SportBild]
For Ziyech moving to Chelsea I don't know why he agreed to it in the first place since I don't think he will be one of the main guys for the team considering that they already have a lot of good players in the position he main plays. If he don't do anything to become the real deal for the club his playing time and role would diminish quickly and he won't be that top prospect that other teams will be targeting.
With Ziyech being a wide forward, Pedro Ageing, Willian Uncertain, Barkley average. it is the right step by chelsea and Lampard
There would have nothing to worry about if it was Pedro and Barkley but Willian is playing quite well. Now I think about it , Willian's contract is about to end this season and Barcelona are keen on getting him.
^ I heard... Is he really good? I don't really follow Dutch football.
Potential target for Liverpool, Timo Werner. If LFC acquires that guy then Mane - Werner - Salah would be one of the best (or could even be the best) front three in Europe.
And Klopp would def love him. He loves to run.

Ziyech was brilliant in Ajax’s run to the semi final of the CL last season. He’s been good this season too, without a doubt he’ll improve Chelsea.
Eredivisie isn't really that competitive compared to other European leagues we have, you'll always see Ajax, PSV, Feyenoord, and AZ on the top four since there is really no competition going, that's why these teams can sell their top players all the time since they know what they have is enough to maintain their spots in the league.
The eredivisie can indeed be a less competitive league, but with Ajax and Ziyech perfomances in the champions league, i can say he is a quality addition to the chelsea squad.

Ziyech is an amazing player and he is a great signing for Chelsea.
In my opinion, he is what Chelsea needs, a young and talented midfielder with attacking preferences in his playstyle.
I watched some Ajax's games this season and I can say that his crosses are deadly!
But I doubt that these players can help Barca much.
Yeah, it's not like the lack of goals is the main problem...Barcelona are simply a one-man team, that's the real issue.^ I heard... Is he really good? I don't really follow Dutch football.
Ziyech? You haven't seen him in the Champions League? He's like Mahrez 2.0, left footed, extremelly skilled, great ball control, passing...40M is a bargain, Chelsea are signing a top-class player.Potential target for Liverpool, Timo Werner. If LFC acquires that guy then Mane - Werner - Salah would be one of the best (or could even be the best) front three in Europe.
Can you imagine the counter attacks? The three of them could very well run the 100 meters in less than 10 secs 
@tomahawk9 I’ll agree with your analysis about Ziyech as he’s a top class player, and I’m completely shocked as to how did Chelsea get him for such a bargain price. Also I’m sincerely hoping that Liverpool do not get their target, because they’re unstoppable at this moment and if they get Werner then they’ll become completely invincible. According to various news reports Jack Grealish is keen to seal his transfer to Manchester United, and this is exciting news for Manchester United fans.

Can you imagine the counter attacks? The three of them could very well run the 100 meters in less than 10 secs There is only one problem with that. How many teams will be willing to go out attacking against Liverpool? They will always have their chances from high pressing but that is not a conventional counter attack and maybe speed is not crucial factor.
I actually quite like Firmino in top of Liverpool attack, he brings a bit of different class and magic to their play. In other words, Werner is a great player but I think he looks for similar kind of open spaces like Salah and Mane and there could be problems with that. Mane and Salah are so good because Firmino is willing to drop back, stretch the defensive line and clear more space for them while simultaneously feed them trough balls.
But I doubt that these players can help Barca much.

It is reported by this peculiar reporter https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1227701319596683269?s=20 that chelsea fc has agreed a deal with Ziyech and he is to join in the summer.
What do you think about the deal ? Will he replace pedro/willan instantly ? or Odoi will be pushed to perform even better ?
And somehow, i feel chelsea deal for Ziyech will free the way for manchester united to get Jordan Sancho this summer.

It has now been confirmed that Ziyech is a Chelsea player
He is going to be a great addition to the Chelsea team, and also going to provide more squad depth.
Perhaps Chelsea can launch a epl challenge come next season.

Good player Ziyech, will be a good signing for Chelsea if they can seal that. I don’t think Sancho will go to Man Utd, why would he? They’re a Europa League team atm & they might not even qualify for that.

So now that Dembele (FC Barcelona) was confirmed to miss the rest of the season (out for 6 months), the spanish club can finally sign a replacement even though the transfer window is closed. But, they can only sign a player only from La Liga or a free agent. There's a lot of rumours going around, here are some of the main candidates:
Willian Jose (Real Sociedad), Angel, (Getafe), Loren Moron (Real Betis). Any Barca fans here? Who would you like to have on your team?
I have posted same thing yesterday - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.53820050. Speaking about these names mentioned doesn't sounds solid. Lucas Perez had some solid seasons in mediacore La Liga teams, but didn't show anything impressive on higher level. So, I would pick between Angel and Loren. But I doubt that these players can help Barca much. Willian Jose (Real Sociedad), Angel, (Getafe), Loren Moron (Real Betis). Any Barca fans here? Who would you like to have on your team?
Pep doesn’t usually stick around at one club for too long. I think I said before I can see him going to Juve this summer, if not the year after. Man City need a big rebuild & I don’t think he’ll stick around to do it.
Pep has it in him of not staying put for too long, I don't know if that is about to change with city, it will depend on his love for the team, how long will they be able to keep him happy, this are the big questions that'll determine how much time pep has to stay in city, pep hates to lose, if they have another terrible season such as this one again(could still turn out to be a good season though, in other competitions other than the EPL)then he'll not be staying longer than then.Manchester City's penalty shall come later or sooner.
?? I'm out of the loop. What penalty?

Til when is Pep's contract at City? Til 2021? Pretty sure he'll not leave til then. He owes Ferran Soriano and Txiki Berigistain. He wouldn't be enjoying a career like he's having now without them imho.
Edit: But I'd def want see Ronaldo + Messi + Pep!!! Lolol.
Yes till 2021 but...
City is not doing great, Juventus and Sarri are not happy, Pep lost Arteta, and last but not least the Manchester City's penalty shall come later or sooner.
