During the time when Thibaut Courtois was injured, Lunin had an effective role in Real Madrid and he had a good performance and was effective in Real Madrid to help this team win the Champions League and La Liga. But it seems his super agent is trying to get him out of the team and even Lunin himself is also interested in leaving Real Madrid.
Andriy Lunin has to leave Real Madrid if he wats to get playing time, yes he turned out to be so important for Real Madrid last season, but that was only because Courtois was injured for quite a long time, once he was back for the CL final, Lunin went back to the bench. If he wants to leave, Real would allow him go, they can always get a decent backup goalkeeper.
If Lunin decides to leave Real Madrid.  Arsenal is very welcome to him. But it's a setback for his career. It's because he is leaving a club that consistently wins trophies for a trophyless team. It's a disappointment for him. There is team that offered him an offer other than Arsenal, and it's Chelsea.

To be honest, Chelsea has also been linked to him, but the blues have even three goalkeepers now. It's kinda weird if they add more keeper to join in line up. Lunin still real madrid's number 2. Still, Real Madrid needs him as a good backup for Courtois. This is because Kepa went back to Chelsea after Real Madrid decided not to keep him. Yet again, Arsenal are keen on offering him as a secondary goal keeper after Raya. In the end, staying in Real madrid is still best for Lunin.

If he wants to leave, Real would allow him go, they can always get a decent backup goalkeeper.
Andriy Lunin las season surprised many football faithfuls with his incredible performances for Real Madrid. After Thibaut Courtoise picked up injury that sidelined him for most part of last season, Real Madrid needed a world class goalkeeper who'll always stand on for the club and Lunin actually stepped up to fill that gap that was left by Courtoise unavailability. He was so impressive that even when Real Madrid's first choice goalkeeper became fit again, many people were still expecting the club manager to start Lunin in the UEFA Champions League final but the Carlo Ancelotti decided to start with his first choice goalkeeper.
If his agent wants to get him a new club, I don't think there's anything wrong with because at Real Madrid, Lunin will definitely find it difficult to get playing time. He deserves to be a first choice goalkeeper for one these big clubs in Europe so he should leave the Spanish champions

Lunin played well in the 2023/24 season, but this player is still not a big name. In the context of the contract between Real Madrid and Andriy Lunin expiring next summer, the Ukrainian international's future at Santiago Bernabeu gradually became unclear when he decided not to renew his contract with the club. Because coach Carlo Ancelotti still has faith in Thibaut Courtois, considering Thibaut Courtois as the top choice as goalkeeper. After an impressive season with Real Madrid, the name Lunin is becoming increasingly attractive in the transfer market. His elimination from last season's Champions League final gave many clubs more grounds to own Lunin.

The remaining issue is who will be Courtois's backup goalkeeper. If Lunin agrees to stay, that position will belong to this goalkeeper. On the contrary, Kepa can be chosen.

I just saw that Kevin De Bruyne have agreed to leave Man City for a Saudi Arabia side Al Ittihad. Well, I will say is the right timing because he has to make good use of the little glory he has to chase the money, this time, oil money. This will be a great one for Man City because De Bruyne, who have spend many years in Man City have made remarkable impact in the team, scoring great goals and a huge threat to any opponent they face. I think age is also one factor that made him take such decision.
Source

It is a fake Rumor according to the top Journalist Fabrizio Romano, there is not even a single negotiation between Kelvin De Bruyne and the Al Ittihad club so the news of him agreeing any personal contract is fake news. The club has only just signed Aston villa’s Moussa Diaby and not after the signing of Kelvin De Bruyne. De Bruyne is still having a contract with Manchester city which I think is upto like 2026 and he definitely intends to run down his contract. Although he had earlier said that he doesn’t rules out the move to the Saudi Pro league as he thinks it won’t be bad to go earn the high wages there but there was no indication that he is leaving this summer.

Even if he does wants to leave it won’t be an easy deal considering how important he is to the city team. Manchester city are not looking like a club that can survive that departure now. Probably next two seasons but not right now

The move is great for increasing the emotional connection between fans and the club, and it is not the first in football history. Union Berlin fans are even willing to donate their blood to help the club finances, and this action reflects the fans love for their favorite club. Barcelona actually still has several options to recruit Nico Williams, by applying for new debt, releasing other players, or by bartering players plus adding some money. Hansi Flick will be very happy if Barcelona management succeeds in recruiting Nico Williams, even if finances allow, Hansi Flick still wants to recruit several more players.

The thing that Barcelona needs to do to get Nico Williams isn’t about the transfer fee but the wage load on the club which is where the club is been restricted in spending. They need to release players that have high wages and not so important again and that’s why you see the likes of De Jong coming up for sale because of his high wage which is around 600k, a sale of players like this is what will bring the player to Barcelona

Even though Lautaro Martínez was linked with several popular clubs such as Real Madrid, Juventus etc., finally Inter Milan officially extended his contract for 5 years with a total salary of around 45 million.
It is not surprising that Inter retained this reliable player because while he was at Inter, the player made a very good contribution and the Inter president became more confident after Martinez helped Argentina win the Coppa America title at that time.
The teams like Real Madrid and Juventus, no longer interested to sign Lautaro Martínez because they already have a strong striker. Real Madrid has Mbappe, Juventus has Vlahović. These teams don't need a new striker, they will focus on looking for defenders or midfielders. It is a good decision that Inter board finally extended his contract because it will secure Martínez to stay some years in Inter Milan. Sure, Inter Milan can't lose Martínez because he is their machine goal. Inter Milan doesn't want to experience the same thing as PSG, that they lose Mbappe for free. And Lautaro Martínez market value should be increasing because he contributes well in Argentina national team, his goal leads Argentina to win Coppa America 2024. So, it is very reasonable that Inter Milan immediately extends Martínez's contract.

I really hope he succeeds. Besides, he is a new European champion, it should somehow energise him psychologically for new achievements, if he continues his succession of achievements, he will not end his career soon. But by the way I doubt that he will stay at a new club for so long, I think some club will want to buy him.

In advance for the next colleagues who will read along here: This is about Morata

He is certainly not a bad player but also not a player who can cause big changes in a team. I would see him at the same level as Giroud, but if Milan wants to win the Serie A or CL  again they need a better striker. The fact that Spain won the European Championship was not due to the great performance of Morata, there were many more Williams and Yamal or Caravajal decisive. Morata was rather one of the worse players in the national team.

That's not what I meant. That such personal achievement can help a player to open up and he may be no exception. So if you look at it in that context, that's really true.  If Milan weren't sure that this player could help them in the offensive line, they would hardly have bought him, although Morata isn't very expensive, but he's not a cheap player either
Last season, many players who failed to shine were recruited by AC Milan and will this continue in this transfer market? Of course, Morata is believed to be the right purchase as a quality striker who can replace the role left by Giroud. Morata did manage to perform well at the Euros, but at Atletico Madrid he wasn't too aggressive in scoring goals or his goal productivity wasn't that great.
But that is not a measure that should be considered when assessing players because from another aspect, AC Milan really needs Morata in terms of experience to improve the quality of AC Milan young players.
From one of the articles I read that Morata recruitment was only to support or provide experience for Camarda. However, Morata is still expected to provide his best form for AC Milan this season.

Inter Milan took the right steps they secured this mainstay player until 2029 I can't imagine somehow Inter Milan without Lautaro Martínez. This player was brought in in 2018 with a transfer fee and market value of 25 million now after 6 years its market value has increased almost 400% or 110 Million and I have no hesitation in saying Martínez price should be close to Kylian Mbappe because he has succeeded in bringing his club and country to win several tournaments. But when compared to top players in other leagues, Lautaro Martínez's salary is very low, if he moved to the Premier League or La Liga I'm sure his salary would be 3-5 higher and it's worth it,  imo.

Arsenal have to compete to get Nico William with La Liga clubs, because Barcelona themselves reportedly want to bring him in, some supporters even support them by raising funds to help them financially. However, Arsenal has the advantage here, because financially they are more convincing to bring in this player than Arsenal. However, Nico William himself reportedly also wants to join Barcelona.

Barcelona seems to be continuing to try to bring in this player and indeed it is also supported by its fans for now.

I saw Barcelona's official account on social media TikTok we can see a lot of donations specifically to increase Barcelona's finances to buy Nico Williams. Although this sounds sad for a club as big as Barcelona, which indeed to bring in just 1 player must be helped by its fans, it cannot be denied that I have enough respect for Barcelona fans who do know the current condition of their club but still want to make them give their best next season by trying to help reduce the cost burden for Nico Williams' transfer fee.

Barcelona is indeed quite a hassle to find players in this transfer because it is indeed a problem that they consider trivial in the last few seasons for finance indirectly it makes their own hassles in the end.
The move is great for increasing the emotional connection between fans and the club, and it is not the first in football history.

In Real Madrid, the situation of Andriy Lunin was not clear recently and they know Andriy Lunin is trying to find a way and leave Real Madrid.
During the time when Thibaut Courtois was injured, Lunin had an effective role in Real Madrid and he had a good performance and was effective in Real Madrid to help this team win the Champions League and La Liga. But it seems his super agent is trying to get him out of the team and even Lunin himself is also interested in leaving Real Madrid.
Lunin is under contract until 2025 but Real Madrid wants to let him go for 30 million euros.

For example take Osimhen he renewed the past season just to be sold better and it can be the same situation with Lautaro.

Another thing to consider is if (and we don't know) they applied a release clause under some circumstances.

So for sure is better for Inter if they extended it but it doesn't means that he will stay in Italy for another 5 years.
But with this new contract we can be sure that at least for the next 1 season Lautaro will remain at Inter which makes fans seem to breathe a little relieved because it cannot be denied that Lautaro's current performance is still very good and is the spearhead for Inter who has never been replaced.

As for the future when someone is interested in Lautaro at a good enough price I think it can also be used as a business field for Inter because after all we know that Inter always get benefits for player transfers and do not rule out the possibility for Lautaro as well.

With the current contract extension then indirectly the clause will also definitely increase for Lautaro and that could be a good condition later for Inter so the most important thing now is to secure Lautaro for next season while after that it is thought later by Inter whether to try to keep or sell at a high price for their business and financial benefits.

Manchester United is selling Mason Mount if they can have Adrien Rabiot, who is now a free agent.
According to goal.com parts are close to the deal.
Arsenal are signing Tommy Setford, from Ajax.
There are players that don't have the potential to explore their abilities due to the hostage of injuries. These players have suffered long-term and recovery do take time than the expected moments. Manchester United have a lot to deal with this summer. They have quite number of players to released and they've top targets on their radar. Erik Ten Hag will not fold up his hands because duty calls and he's present to attend to them.

Mason Mount was regarded to be the best signing for the Red Devils but it turn out he was only a total dissapointing figure following his constant severe injury. Mount is still part of Erik Ten Hag project and he will continue to make improvements if he's stationed to be among the starting XI of Erik Ten Hag.

Selling Mason Mount will be better for Manchester United because since he joined them, he never had complete five matches straight without injury, it was like a wasted money that is why they want to sell him to raise funds for other players since the team is now focused on young stars.

Arteta is looking for way to let Ramsdel go that is why he is keen to sign the young goalkeeper as a backup for the team since we know that Ramsdel cannot be happy as a second choice keeper.

Quote
Arsenal is also signing Riccardo Calafiori someone says is already done, others it is far away from to be done.
In the football news journalist can just create news when they don't know what to write...
The Ricardo Calafori’s deal is almost a done deal that we are just waiting for announcement form both Arsenal and Bologna because they have agreed on certain fee.

Transfer news: https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/kevin-de-bruyne-drops-transfer-29583332.amp

I really did not see this move coming.  Saudi clubs are still following through with their plans to buy famous players from around the world to their lesgue. Though KDB has won all the trophies in club football, I didn’t think he would be leaving the EPL so soon. Like many I assumed his future at Manchester City was solidified even though he’s 33years. Kevin De Bruyne is one of Manchester City’s most important players on and off the pitch. He’s the playmaker in the team and the engine of Pep’s goal scoring machine, Erling Haaland. Arsenal fans will be delighted at this news, they probably think they stand a chance this season to win the premier league lol.
Kevin De Bruyne probably talked to Pep and made that decision. If Pep doesn't have plans to keep him in the team, I think his best move would be to go to Arabia and earn money. He is 33 years old, but I think he can play at the top level for 2 more years. Since he is a dynamic and quality player like Modric, he has many years ahead of him if he wants to play. I think it is more attractive now to earn good money and retire in Arabia.
To be very honest it's time for Kevin De Bruyne to leave the club. Because he already 33 years old and Manchester City can keep Kevin De Bruney for a maximum of one season and then ask De Bruney to leave the club at the end of the contract. And if Pep says yes to Kevin De Bruney to leave the club now, it will be an advantage for both the club and the player. Pep will get an opportunity to check Kevin De Bruney's replacement player soon, that is, he will start the rotation of players for the replacement of Kevin De Bruney as soon as the new season starts, and on the other hand, Kevin De Bruney will also be on the bench. You won't have to go, like let's say, if Kevin De Bruney stays for one more season at Manchester City, Pep will not let him play a full match because Pep will rotate De Bruney's replacement with different players and ultimately as a result. Kevin De Bruney will not be able to play the full match which may affect his performance.
 
Therefore, Kevin De Bruney should leave the club this season. In Saudia Arabia, he will also get a chance to play full matches and earn high wages.

So for sure is better for Inter if they extended it but it doesn't means that he will stay in Italy for another 5 years.
5 years (2029) is a very long time and you are correct that quite a lot of things can happen within that time, Lautaro might be sold even before then, but one thing that is certain is that right now he is happy at Inter. He won two titles with the club last season and went on to win the Copa America with Argentina, Lautaro is having the time of his life right now and i think it is a good decision that he decided to remain in Inter for now. If anything changes along the way, the 5 year contract will give Inter the bargaining power, so good for them too.
I think there will be many clubs interested in him before then since he has been consistent in past seasons though the main reason he is still at Inter is because of the fee Inter place on him while most teams who can afford him may just go for an alternative or already have one doing the job for them, I guessed Lautaro might just remain at Inter since both player & club are in good terms or maybe if his price tag is reduced then there will be a club that will force to get him.

Galatasaray have given up on the transfer of Guela Doue despite reaching an agreement with Rennes. I already thought it was a bad transfer move.
They are working on the Wendel transfer. Zenit don't want to let him go, they see him as their best player. But here Galatasaray offered a serious amount of money. Zenit turned down an offer of 20 million Euro, Galatasaray raised the figure to 22 million. This transfer will be finalized soon. In my opinion, this is a very expensive and unnecessary transfer. That money could have been used in a much better way. The midfield transfer market is very active.

The report that Kelvin De Bruyne have agreed to leave Manchester City and join a Saudi club didn't come as a surprise to me and that's because of the statement the Belgian made after the end of last season where he said it'll not be a bad idea to go to Saudi Arabia and earn huge amount of wages in last years as a professional footballer. I believe he already had the talk of leaving with Pep Guardiola towards the end of last season so I also do not think the Spanish manager isn't aware that De Bruyne was ready to leave Manchester City this summer.
Like he's been doing at Manchester City, I strongly believe that Kelvin De Bruyne will still be bossing the midfield when the gets to Saudi Arabia but just that he'll not be as energetic as he used to be because his current age.
