Vinicius junior is a talented and top tier player and he is one of the most valuable players in the club. He is young and still have a lot of individual accolades like the Ballon d'or and other awards for grabs, moving away from Real Madrid or moving to a less standard team may deter his chances of achieving this success. Staying in Madrid is most advisable unless the club is against him or maybe they have a change of management or dispute, I don't think Vinicius will be willing to leave the club not even in the nearest future.

Real Madrid is the right club for him to win everything including the Ballon d'Or award. Vinicius has just rejected a contract extension offer from Real Madrid, In fact, after winning the UCL trophy last season, he said he wanted to stay at Real Madrid like Modric, Toni Kroos and Carvajal did.
The reason for the rejection may be that he wants to be the highest paid player at Real Madrid and he also doesn't want his salary to be equal to Mbappe. It seems that Real Madrid will have to work harder to keep their star player at the Bernabeu for longer.

What do you guys think about this swap? Is it worthy?

I think it's very worthy for Manchester United to swap. United lacked depth on its mid, and sign Douglas can help them to fix it. The better they swap Zirkzee for Douglas instead of keep Zirkzee much longer.

Zirkzee is a failed striker in PL, and i saw no chance for him to growth. It's a no brainer deal to swap him with Douglas. If i were United owner, i would send a letter to Juventus to accept this deal.

To be honest, if the players on your team tells you not to get a player, then you do not get that player. It is not about just being under their control, it is not about players having too much say in these, you could do whatever you want when just one player tells you something, but if the number grows to 3 starters? You may listen to them, after all you want to make sure that they are feeling happy about their own situation as well.

So all in all, in this case, Barcelona did the right thing by not getting Rashford. Plus, lets take a look at the player, he isn't really that much of an important player to begin with, not like they were missing a striker or a winger, they have both of those positions filled up, even on the bench, so they didn't really need him anyways.

It is great news for PSG fans. I believe Nuno Mendes is currently one of the most valuable players for the team. He is only 22 years old but performing in a spectacular way for his role.

This must be the priority for PSG from now on. They shouldn't lose their crucial players easily. If they maintain the quality level and continue to add the right players, they can finally achieve their ultimate goal one day. The goal is a Champions League trophy of course. Yeah they couldn't win one even while they had a dream trio like Neymar - Mbappe - Messi. However this doesn't mean they won't with different players either. The squad is very young so it just needs to be given some time to go for bigger achievements.

I think the time is right for this transfer and while many people did't see this coming, it was the right decision for him.

When you say that they shouldn't lose their crucial players, at the end of the day it will be equalized when they get another player for him. Money isn't a big deal for them and they will purchase a player as a substitute no matter what the price is for them.

Nuno Mendes is one of the most talented players in PSG. If PSG wants to establish dominance in Europe they must stop selling their top talents instead they should focus on strengthening the squad and improving their tactical approach. While it was disappointing that PSG failed to win a Champions League title despite having the deadliest attack in the world then Messi, Neymar,and mbappe, that doesn't necessarily mean that they can't be able to achieve European glory with other players. Success in Europe requires not just star players. If PSG can be able to build a more balanced team and maintain consistency, they still have a chance to lift the trophy for the first time in their history.

Ancelotti loves Vinicius' game. He won't leave easily just because of the money offered by a rich club. Vinicius will achieve more by staying with Madrid. Madrid should also give a little reward for a salary increase. I don't think it's a mistake. Although Madrid has enough players who can fill Vinicius' position, I'm sure Madrid will keep him by all means. Unless there is a change of coach, maybe the situation will be different.

Vinicius junior is a talented and top tier player and he is one of the most valuable players in the club.

But what was the exact reason these players kicked against the move to bring Marcus Rashford to Barcelona for the remainder of the season? Is because they think Rashford is better than them and might pose a big threat in limiting their chances of playing regularly for the club? I think that's the reason because of not, they should've been happy to welcome a player that's very capable of significantly improving the club's attack and probably help them win the Spanish La Liga title this season. Well the truth is that Rashford is happy with were he is currently

I have looked at the reports and since it is even just available on one newspaper alone confirms that it is fake to me. First of all it is hardly a thing where the board will have to discuss the move with some certain players first before the move can happen, even if the player is coming from a direct rival club the players of the other clubs will just be happy to have a new player most especially if the player is coming to add competition to the team. So this is definitely not true that they stopped the movement.

Barcelona didn’t push for the move Because they didn’t actually had the capability to cover for the fees or even offer Manchester United the option to buy after the loan. Rashford is a winger and none of the players mentioned against him coming are actually winger ad they are all centra midfielders so even the issue of him taking up their spaces isn’t even up their for debate

Finally! If the rumours turn out to be true though... Nunez doesn't deserve to be a part of Liverpool. He isn't useful for the team most of the time so what's the reason to keep him longer right?

Nunez has greatly underperformed, he came to Liverpool with quite a lot of potential, but he has not lived up to that expectation and has totally fallen short of it. The Uruguayan also came for a lot of money, £85m if we include add-ons, the only way Liverpool can make a large portion of that money back is if they sell him to Saudi, if he stays in Europe, no team is definitely going to buy him for anything close to that amount.

Salah extended his contract with Liverpool, and Van Dijk says that he himself does not know what awaits him in the future. It seems to me that Liverpool would not like to let go of their captain, but now it will depend not only on their desire, perhaps it will depend on the terms of the contract that they offer him.

I think that Van Dijk understands his importance for the team, in addition to being a leader and captain, he is also a fundamental player for Liverpool. In addition, it is not clear what will happen to Alexander-Arnold, whether he will stay or want to go to Real, and this will also weaken the defense.

No, Salah hasn't extended his contract yet. But some sources are telling that Arne Slot talked about some contract talks for him, Trent and van Dijk all. I wonder how this is going to end... Honestly I feel like Trent will sign for Real Madrid.

Van Dijk has been instrumental and crucial in the team’s great achievements in recent years from Klopp’s time at the club and he could be a very important figure in defense for Liverpool in the coming years. It will be good for Liverpool if they retain him by getting every contract terms agreed and settled. Van Dijk understands how much value he has and as a leader I think he will commit if given the right terms.

I really disappointed with some Barcelona players who told the club not to sign Rashford. If they were doing opposite thing, i believe Rashford would be playing there. This is my first time to see how players are deeply involved in the player transfer.

It seems to me Barcelona player didn't wanna see a stranger to join in their club, and disrupt their harmony. That's why they told. club to move on from Rashford.

It could be a golden opportunity for him, but yeah it's passed.

Why are you surprised that players are asked their opinion on potential transfers? After all, it is they who will play with the new player and they have their own vision of whether he will be useful to the club or not. In general, even with the amendment that this is all unconfirmed information (possibly a fabrication of journalists), I am not surprised that many have a negative opinion about Rashford; he earned it himself.

I'm getting surprised caused by it's rarely to see how club is deeply reconsidering the opinion from their players, especially Barcelona. I often saw Laporta didn't care so much about his players opinion, but it's kinda different in this case.

I wouldn't blame anyone, if truly that Barcelona players concluded that the management shouldn't bring in Rashford, because assuming Rashford is a superstar, all players and clubs will want him in their side. Rashford didn't value himself neither did he take his career serious and that has led to this. I don't think that the players want only Spain players to be in Barcelona because it is not possible since there are other players that aren't from Spain in the club.

I disagree with your judgement on this. Barcelona is one big club in Europe that is all-embracing to any quality player regardless of national allegiance. I assume that the case of Marcos Rashford is far from an issue of nationality but that the player has been viewed to not fit in the Barcelona team considering his style of play or probably he can't deliver in the task ahead more than other available choices they are open to which they seem better than Rashford.

As for clubs seeking the opinion of their players in buying a new player to the team I think it's nothing new about Barcelona. If you can recall in the time of Lionel Messi at Barcelona he had much influence on which player is to be brought to the club, the only difference now is that it's not one player making that decision but the few key players of the club. I don't see anything odd about this.

I don't think it's true that Barcelona only wants Spanish players because they have a lot of non-Spanish players. I think Barcelona is a team that doesn't care about the nationality of the players anymore. I don't think they would impose such restrictions because they only aim for success. If you want success, such restrictions will hurt you. I'm sure Barcelona management is aware of this.

The reason Rashford failed to go to Barcelona according to Fabrizio Romano was because of financial fair play rules, and in my opinion that opinion is more reasonable. As we know, Barcelona is experiencing financial difficulties, La Liga salary restrictions make it difficult for them to move in the transfer market, they even have difficulty registering their own players like Dani Olmo. So the failure to recruit Rashford in my opinion is not because of the request of Barcelona players who rejected the transfer, but because of financial factors that are not possible.

I totally understand the reason if the supporters thought that bringing in a stranger could disrupt the harmony of the team especially seeing how much tension and issues this whole Rashford saga caused Manchester United. In my honest opinion it was wise by the club to avoid this deal at the moment because the club itself is not in a very stable state at the moment regarding finances, bringing in an extra trouble wouldn’t be good at all for the club.

Despite the opinion that only Spanish players are in control of Barcelona, the fact that not only Spanish players are currently in the Barcelona squad is actually enough to make this statement in the end.

Rashford's condition is not in good condition with the current price it seems that this is only an issue to increase traffic because after all even though in the end there may be some protests by some players but when talking about the club in the end the absolute decision is certainly in the management not the player.
On the other hand, all forms of speculation may be discussed, it's just that I'm not sure if in the end the main reason only refers to the Spanish players who are the reason because of Barcelona's philosophy even though from the beginning there were more Spanish players but that is not the philosophy they adhere to.

Real Madrid's priority target is revealed. They're putting Saliba transfer as their priority during the summer transfer season. I totally agreed to target him, and signing him will help club to have perfect defense. However, i'm doubting Saliba to accept it, and will call him as the dumbest player if he rejects Madrid.

If he chooses to stay at Arsenal, he deserved to be blamed as someone who has no motivation to step up.

It will be disastrous for Arsenal to lose one of the most priced and talented asset in the coming summer. Real Madrid looks to be very interested in signing Saliba in the summer but I doubt Arsenal will be ready to lose their key player in the coming summer but who knows for a very tempting price Arsenal might be forced to reconsider and be open to sell. We know how influential Real Madrid can be when it comes to matters like this, I will suggest that Arteta starts preparing for life after Saliba.

I am sure that Real will pay a very high transfer fee and Arsenal will certainly not say no. But the transfer of Saliba alone will not solve Real's defensive problems, because they currently have serious problems in defence and only one good player can't solve these problems, so I expect further purchases in defence. Offensively, they probably don't need anyone so they will be focused on defense.

I think one of the reasons Barcelona didn't take Rashford's loan is because they don't need him, currently the wingers that Barcelona have are quite good and also the Barcelona academy under Flick has also developed rapidly they can focus and take it if something happens to the main players, and hearing Rashford's bad attitude during training of course makes Barcelona slump again because if we judge Flick he is a very disciplined figure many Barcelona players are now getting better under his guidance and Rashford certainly won't be able to follow what Flick wants especially the news circulating about Rashford who likes to party of course this makes several clubs not only Barcelona but also Milan slump again and I think that is the right choice, because basically players of English descent are indeed very difficult to manage and many of them are exaggerated by the media not because of their hard work.

Barcelona does not need to sign Rashford at any rate at the moment, he is not a player who can be relied on because of his performance. Rashford has not performed well with Manchester United and that has become a problem that he cannot fix at Manchester United. Bringing in Rashford will only cost money including wages to be paid, while Barcelona have several players who are ready to get the opportunity.

Some of the players who are said to have tried to speak out against signing Rashford basically know what the consequences will be, but they cannot dictate the decisions of the club and its coach. If Hansi Flick really needs a winger like Rashford, then he will sign him no matter what.

Real Madrid have suffered an injury-ridden season and they will want to start preparing for next season. William Saliba will be a good buy for the Spanish side. The possibility of Arsenal letting him go will depend on how much Real will be willing to offer. If they can break Harry Maguire's £80m move to Manchester United, the Gunners might consider letting him go. At least, with that amount, another suitable replacement can be purchased. Another determinant will be the Frenchman's decision. If he decides to remain in Arsenal, Madrid might not sign him.

This is good news for the club and its supporters, they have finally secured the signature of one of their best players and tie him down to a new five year contract. Nuno Mendes who has been a crucial member of the team since joining in August of 2021 and so far won 6 trophies for the club. His contributions have been recognized and appreciated by this contract extension, hopefully he will help the club achieve more trophies in the years to come.

Finally! If the rumours turn out to be true though... Nunez doesn't deserve to be a part of Liverpool. He isn't useful for the team most of the time so what's the reason to keep him longer right?

I understand Arne Slot about Luis Diaz and Jota. Especially Luis Diaz has been horrible for a long time. He has 0 goal contribution since the beginning of this year... Sad

I don't know what's going on with him but I hope he recovers soon. He is normally one of the best players in the squad. He must just be having a bad time these days.

Lately I often hear from people talking about Nunez who should not be with Liverpool. But what I think is, if Nunez is indeed Liverpool's fault, where is the badness? Whereas so far since the beginning of the season Liverpool have gotten positive results. And I think the results are part of Nunez's contribution who tried his best so that his team could get high consistency. Although he is currently not scoring many goals, the fact is that he can help other players to score.

Regarding Luis Diaz and Jota, I don't see him performing badly. It's just that fatigue is one of the causes of the decline in performance. I don't think it's a big problem because Liverpool in the UCL and EPL are still performing very consistently.
