Previously Madrid had no intention of extending Modric contract as a player and offered Modric to become one of Ancelotti coaching staff at Madrid, but Modric turned him down and preferred to continue playing as a footballer despite possibly not again playing for Madrid, the decision madrid to keep Modric for another season was due to the decision of Kroos to retire last season and Madrid still need one of the two to be a mentor for young players next season, Madrid will not be able to change Kroos decision to retire but they know that Modric is still very loyal to Madrid even though he only gets one season of contract extension, currently extending Modric contract is nothing but aimed at being able to lead the young players to be more directed and have a high mentality to be able to compete next season.

Madrid next season is filled with young squads so they still need one or two experienced players to guide and support them in every game they play next season, and that's why Madrid still retains Modric for one more season even though they have a lot of young midfielders in their squad at the moment.


Perhaps Modric did not want to retire in the same year as Kroos, and decided to postpone it to next year, but there is a possibility that he will not be as successful as this one. In any case, it is his decision, but he can increasingly start matches on the bench, and appear on the field only at the end of the match, if this suits him, then he will be a Real Madrid player for another season. I think that Perez's decision is simply a tribute to the player who dedicated so many years to the club.

🇭🇷 Luka Modrić has signed a 1-year contract extension with Real Madrid, keeping him at the club till 2025 ✍️

Another good news for all Madrid fan and I'm particularly happy that he's still an active legend in the game and is definitely retiring as a Madrid player maybe after the completion of next season and banging the 16th UCL title with Madrid 👏👏

Guardiola is good at everything. He would be an excellent fit for England. But, the chances of getting him are astronomically low. I hope he can help England face world cup.
Pep Guardiola had a successful career in Spain, a good career in Germany and is having a wonderful time in England. If he can successfully guide Manchester city the fifth consecutive premier League title then it will mean that he has successfully dominated the premier League and needs a new type of challenge. England has not won a major trophy in many years and if pep guardiola becomes the coach to break that curse, he would have made himself a bigger Legend in England.
Winning with England will be a bigger record than winning with Spain who just won the Euros. This is if he accepts the Job.

Elsewhere, Thomas Muller has announced his retirement from the German national team and this year's Euro will be the last event he will participate in. It doesn't feel like he has been a mainstay for the German national team at international level, but in the last competition he took part in he started to decline and we rarely see him starting. Despite all that, he will still play football with Bayern Munich next season and his contract will end in 2025.

Compared to Kroos, this is an expected decision, and he is not finished with club football. It will be interesting to see what happens in a year - whether he retires from football altogether or goes to Saudi Arabia. Müller spent his entire career in Bayern, 17 years, and it seems to me that it is unlikely that he will go to play somewhere else for additional money.
It is undeniable that with the age of 35 it is clear that in the end this must be done because forcing the will to continue to be in the German national team will be increasingly difficult for Muller so it is very good for him to retire for now.

He is no longer young and Germany is one of the teams that is indeed very good and always one of the favorites when competing so it is certain that he takes into account and gives space to young players to contribute further in the upcoming state competition.
Looking at the Caps that Muller has given for Germany, if you look at the 131 Caps that he has given it seems like he is one of the players who has the most appearances in Germany because he only lost to Lothar Matthaus with 150 Caps and Klose with 137 Caps.


It's the end of a golden era where stars like him and the great Toni Kross shone at a great level , although looking at it from a more specific point of view, Muller is a player who didn't have many minutes, and he didn't do much at Bayern He had Opportunities, but I think he still needs a long way to go to be up to date with the level of demand that exists. If we compare him with a team like Leverkusen, Real Madrid, then obviously the differences are noticeable, I don't doubt his technique , but what I could see is that he was Arriving late and that is not good in football.

Lukaku has been moving on loan for a couple of years now, i hope he can finally be sold now and move away from Chelsea for good, all these different loan moves hasn't helped his career, though i know it is due to his transfer fee and salary/wages. If Napoli sell Osimhen, they will receive a lot of money from the transfer, so they should be able to use that and fund a transfer for Lukaku.
I feel Napoli are hesitant to sell Osimhen out because it might be hard to get his replacement but from what I've seen of Lukaku, he fits the bill. Granted, he may not be able to leap in the air like the Nigerian, but he can still be able to use his size to his benefit. Truely, the Belgian needs to be bought permanently by a club because continuous loaning of a player can affect his performance; he won't be able have roots.
As for Osimhen, he should leave the club now he's still a hot cake because the way I see it, if he continues to remain at Napoli and doesn't give good results, his value will be dropping gradually especially now that Antonio Conte has taken over the job from Walter as coach. I doubt he'd be seeing much playing time like enjoyed under Walter and the coaches before him.
Napoli signing Lukaku is solely dependent on the sale of Osimhen. Yes, Conte has let the club understand his preferred Candidate in the attack. I believe that the club willl begin talk with Chelsea when they can finalize Osimhen deal.
Right now, there are speculations that PSG has started discussing with Osimhen entourage. I think PSG x Osimhen is one to watch for the window.
Although they plan to sell to be able to make concrete move for him.  But he’s on their radar.

Pep Guardiola to be the next England coach? could this happen? Shocked

Yes, this is still just a rumor circulating and the FA must at least wait until 2025 if they want to start discussing this seriously. This is because Pep Guardiola's contract will end that year and of course we still don't know whether he will extend his contract with Manchester City again or not. Of course, England will be very scary if they are coached by Pep Guardiola and their existing talents will not be wasted.

Following news of Southgate resigning as coach because he failed to lead England to win the Euros this year, it feels like he is self-conscious about his ability to not be able to utilize the golden talent he has.

What do you think? Is Pep Guardiola the right person? Or do you have suggestions for other coaches for England?

Pep Guardiola? He would be a great replacement for Southgate, it shouldn't even be questioned.  Grin  He is one of the best managers in today's football honestly however there is a problem, he isn't available.

I mean he has been giving some signals like he might leave Manchester City in a couple of years. However I don't feel like it will be this summer. The fans would be shocked for sure if it happens.

But let's say it happened... Guardiola is very familiar with English players thanks to managing Manchester City. I would believe in his player choices 100%. He wouldn't make nonsense strategies in games either.  Smiley
I think you're wrong about that. Guardiola may leave next season. His contract ends in 2025. As far as I can tell, Guardiola has no interest to extend it with Manchester City. He won't stay there for a couple of years. It seems to me Guardiola will be seeking a job to coach the national team to complete his dream.

Guardiola will remain for one more season. His contract will expire at Manchester City. The FA is hearing suggestions. They say Guardiola is not a top candidate to manage England, but they seriously consider him.

Im mentioning the latest news here.

But until that time comes, FA needs an interim manager. They will handle England's national team temporarily. England plans to appoint Lee Carsey, the Under-21s' manager, as an interim manager. He will lead the England squad until Pep finishes his contract at Manchester City.

Guardiola is good at everything. He would be an excellent fit for England. But, the chances of getting him are astronomically low. I hope he can help England face world cup.

And last, Fa needs to try sending him an offer, and see what's gonna be his response.

For the last few years, the English Football Federation has been inviting only Englishmen to coach, but perhaps an exception can be made for Guardiola, but whether Guardiola himself will want to leave Manchester City for a national team that is foreign to him. Guardiola has an unquestionable authority at Manchester City that no other coach in the world has. Guardiola can even put Haaland on the bench and no one can afford that except Ancelotti.
It will be a huge gift for the England national team if Guardiola agrees to work with the national team, because there is no stronger coach in the world right now than Guardiola.
Even if English Football Federation makes an interesting offer to Guardiola, I doubt if Guardiola wants to accept it. Guardiola must prefer to be the coach of Spain national team, so he will be doubtful to accept it. When he decides to leave Man City, I guess he won't accept any offer, he probably wants to take a rest for a moment. Sure, Guardiola is one of the best coaches in the world now, there should be always many teams to make an offer to him. But Guardiola already achieves everything in his career, he won't be too obsessed to win any trophy. The last dream he has, may be to win Word Cup trophy with Spain national team.

I think it is better for the English soccer federation to look for a free coach with experience of working with English clubs, for example, Pocchetino.
Why English Football Federation must sign Pocchetino? He is also not an English coach/manager.
There are still some top English coaches. English Football Federation can consider Eddie Howe, Graham Potter, Michael Carrick, or other English coaches.

Luka Modric reached agreement contract extend one year later with Real Madrid and have been 13 years become Real Madrid player since leaving Tottenham Hotspurs as last team.

Can he still play for Croatia? that's what his demand to Real Madrid if they still want him. Since he got one more year extension, probably Ancelotti allow him.

Leni Yoro has flown to the UK to sign for Manchester United.
https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5626457/2024/07/17/leny-yoro-manchester-united-transfer/
They say the sum of 50 million euros for Lille and 7 million for Yoro, plus bonuses and that's another 2 million.
Of course 50 million for an 18 year old defender is a lot, but if the potential will be revealed, then a contract for 7 years will keep such a player in MU for at least a couple of years and then MU will be able to sell him more expensive.
Now 50 mln are given even for players who played 1-2 successful seasons, so apparently there is nothing to be surprised about, except how Ten Hag kept his position as head coach of MU.
It's crazy that Manchester United want to spend a lot of money for this unknown player, he's already 18 years old, didn't have a good performance for Lille and didn't included in senior team, while Yamal and Mbappe already play for their national team since 17-18 years old.

Manchester United is gambling for signing Yoro.

This is football my man, anything can happen! Would be 60 years without a trophy soon, they need the best to get the best.

Pep Guardiola should be tempted already, but I don't think I know how he'll feel like doing such a huge job for England rather than his country Spain. I have also read they plan to bring in an interim manager to take the job while they anticipate and try to flatter Pep Guardiola into taking the job. Pep Guardiola is the best manager in the world honestly, everybody loves him.

Gareth Southgate has done his best. He has done the right thing to resign. He failed to bring the best outta these lads. For now, no time to lament, goodluck to him innthe next phase ofnhis career and life. Three Lions has to move forward.

Honestly, I would want him to take the job even if I'm not english. I hope they don't snooze, because if they do, the names listed to land the job are not fit enough for the job. Eddie Howe wouldn't do any serious change or upgrade. Pep Guardiola could be the right man.

Menarih here, after there was an interview that he was interested in coaching England then the FA will now wait until his contract expires, still curious how the FA's efforts made it happen.

If only the FA wants to wait for Pep Guardiola until the contract expires, it means that the coach is now vacant, will there be an Interim coach for the time being and who will it be? Very curious indeed but this is not needed sooner some are still focused on their respective clubs maybe Pep Guardiola also doesn't want to discuss it now.

You asked about how Pep would be right for England? It's clear from our point of view how Pep manages the club very well with Manchester City let alone England which is never short of players from its squad.

Chelsea have no plans for the Belgian player, they've stated their priorities on other players and we understand the budget of Todd Boehly and other board members. Romelu Lukaku have played for major EPL clubs and also won titles with them perhaps he consider a league where he's the center of attention. Romelu Lukaku have failed to understand and comprehend his potentials, he can't stay for a long term in a club. Other aside, he's always keen on making loan moves to other club, atleast his presence is important for the big advantage, like goal scoring chances and threatening option for oppositions.
From what Lukaku says, I can understand that it is likely that he will play in Saudi Arabia in the near future. Constantly playing on loan knowing that you have a contract with a team that doesn’t count on you is hard. Chelsea once paid a lot of money for him and now they can’t sell him, so they give him out on loan, this situation tires not only Lukaku but apparently also Chelsea. And Lukaku talks about Saudi Arabia because he understands that there he can spend a good end to your career, and at the same time earn very good money.
It's time for Lukaku to play for a Saudi club at the age of 32. However, this doesn't mean that playing for a Saudi Arabian club makes him considered bad, it's just that European clubs are now more focused on targeting young players for long-term preparation. It is time for Lukaku to think about the future of his career by getting a bigger salary in Saudi Arabian Football. There is nothing wrong and I think there are Saudi Arabian clubs who would like to get his signature.

Big league like La Liga, Serie A is also still quiet about the transfer of players. We just saw a breakthrough from several English Premier League teams in terms of player transfer. This means that we need to know that all teams in the big league in Europe need new players in certain positions, not only Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City, Inter, Milan, Barcelona, ​​Bayern.
The reason is, clubs in La Liga and Serie A only need 1 or 2 players to be added, while Premier League clubs, especially Man United, have to reshuffle more players. This season there is too much quality below standard and too many injured players so we have to be more active in taking advantage of the transfer market. Liverpool seems to still have the same format, Arsenal just needs to add a pure striker, in my opinion Man City doesn't need to be overhauled much because from the back line to the front line is a formation that is still ideal for maintaining trophy. Inter and Milan are definitely stagnant in terms of purchasing players, then Barcelona ​​even though their finances are relatively bad, Yamal and William are two figures who can be the difference next season.

Bayern are in stance to sell De Ligt to the Manchester United. And Romano's tweet above has explained all.

In my opinion, i don't like this transfer decision by Kompany and Bayern Munich. I'd rather keep De Ligt and sell Upamecano. Then, use the money from selling Upamecano to recruit Jonathan Tah. The decision to sell De ligt, then replace him with Tah is a blunder by Bayern munich.
This is because it sounds like you're replacing De Ligt with a cheaper and worse player than him. Tah is playing in the same position as De Ligt.
The tweet further clarifies De Ligt's future and if Man United succeeds in bringing him in, next season will be much better. De Ligt's agent has also spoken to Man United representatives even though PSG are also reportedly interested in him, now De Ligt prioritizes joining Man United over other clubs. It seems that Kompany doesn't really like De Ligt's style of play so he is not retained and another reason is to use the money from the sale to recruit other players.

Every coach or management has a different view of the players they have, although if you compare De Ligt to Jonathan Tah it is completely different. It seems like a hasty decision by Bayern Munich, but it seems like De Ligt is not the type of player that Kompany likes.

De ligt is a very solid Defender. If the new Bayern Munich manager doesn’t want his service, then he needs to move to another club. At the moment Manchester United are advancing in talks to get him and he’s interested in joining Manchester United. A deal is yet to be finalize. I think they are also focusing on another defender, Yoro. For a reason, i think the De Ligt’s deal is dependent on Yoro. But there are recent speculations that Manchester might be getting both Yoro and De Ligt.
Lindelof is expected to leave and a new center back will be signed. Preferably a right center back.
For a high line, someone who can mop up and disrupt play will be handy.
Man united need a strong, athletic rearguard and perfectly falls into that sort of category at the moment. And that’s where De ligt comes in.

Leni Yoro has flown to the UK to sign for Manchester United.
https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5626457/2024/07/17/leny-yoro-manchester-united-transfer/

Removing Osimhen and then replacing him with Lukaku will not necessarily have a positive impact on Napoli. Lukaku is no longer ideal but many people still expect his best performance. In the national team at the Euros how many opportunities failed to be converted into goals and there were 3 goals disallowed by the referee until he finally collected O goals at this year's Euros. As for Serie, it is the only league that still gives Lukaku the opportunity to score more goals, and in the EPL it seems too difficult to achieve.
Talking about what the future holds for Napoli, which currently cannot be predicted, but whoever the players are chosen, this club will have good improvements as long as it is managed by Antonio Conte.
Lukaku has talent that can be relied on and Osimhen also has equal reliability to Lukaku, it's just that these two players have their own advantages and disadvantages that cannot be compared.


Unfortunately, Osimhen was hampered by high demands by Napoli who wanted to profit from the sale of players whose abilities had declined.
I think Osimhen is still very productive and still has the ability to become a professional player.
I understand that maybe you say that Osimhen has a decline in his abilities but in fact that is a wrong statement because in fact Osimhen is just not comfortable appearing with Napoli because he previously had problems with the club.

So don't think that Osimhen cannot be relied on and I am very sure that if Osimhen is released at a cheaper price, he will definitely be a very reliable player with his new club.

Osimhen best option is of course to leave and let Napoli reorganize their squad with Antonio Conte. Unfortunately, Osimhen was hampered by high demands by Napoli who wanted to profit from the sale of players whose abilities had declined.
Well, I think and I strongly believe that switching both strikers to either teams would do both teams more good than harm, I mean Conte really wants Lukaku, he's worked with him at Inter and even helped him revive his career, then he was able to bag goals and even win the title and I strongly beleve their partnership once again would take Napoli back to a better level even though they don't win the trophy like they did at Inter. Also,  Chelsea needs a solid 9 a Drogba like striker and Osimhen is the perfect player for that role, since he's not likely to be used by Conte and since Lukaku is having same fate at Chelsea, I feel a switch by both players is a win win for both teams, Napoli's demand for Osimhen might seem very high but Chelsea could include Lukaku plus a fee for Osimhen since Conte is really interested in the reunion with Romelu Lukaku.

Apart from Chelsea and Manchester, no other top club has signed any player.Liverpool must recruit in key areas to be able to match the performances of Manchester City and Arsenal in their quest to win the title. Liverpool need like 2-3 new signings. We are yet to see what areas of the squad that Liverpool new manager would be keen to  strengthen before the start of the season.

In the current transfer market, big clubs such as Arsenal and Manchester City have not made any visible movements in the player transfer market. But several other clubs have made many changes and added new players. Chelsea is one and then there is also Aston Villa who seem to have brought in around 5 new players to their squad. Such as Lewis Dobbin from Everton, Ian Maatsen from Chelsea, Samuel Iling-Junior from Juventus, Enzo Barrenechea from Juventus and Ross Barkley from Luton. And Newcastle is actually quite active in the hunt for players at the moment. It's just that because the players they are targeting are not up-and-coming players, they don't get much attention from the news media.

Lukaku has had an outstanding  career as a striker while there are many timeshe still fails to meet up to expectations especially in his national team and at Chelsea I guessed Serie A might just still be the best option for him and  I think Napoli might just be able to get him if they finally let go Osimhen which I think PSG might signed but still considering if Napoli will lower their fee.
