Don't worry. Klopp is still keeping his word now. He is not even interested in a job as USMNT coach, though he was approached by USSF. I really appreciate him. He is keeping up what he planned at Liverpool.

He is retiring from his role as a club's manager for a while; He is also unlikely to take a job as a manager in the new club. Klopp still sticks on what he wanted to do.

Newcastle United recent interests in Dominic Calvert-Lewin is off course surprising to me because they already have two center forwards that in my opinion are far better than him. Now with the persistent of signing Calvert Lewin I think the two strikers now might have to be on their way out of Newcastle. I think Calum Wilson will be staying with the squad where my guess is the Isak might be sold off this summer. The striker had a  brilliant season last time that it still baffles me that is still not chased after. The likes of Chelsea and Arsenal who are looking for a premier league proven striker can also get Isak.

It seems there is no going back for Victor Osimhen into Napoli team with Conte another obstacle for him. I heard even Kvaratskhelia’s case was up there with Osihmen but the board had a rethink and have decided to keep Kava and then offload Osimhen himself

What' will happen with Aleksander Isaak? Are they already for his exit or something we don't know about yet? He wasn't looking happy last season with Everton though, a move to Newcastle United could be possible.

Antonio Conte had a direct face to face talk with Victor Oshime and Victor stands on what he said before, he'll want to see himself leaving Napoli during this transfer window. I believe he could still make it to Chelsea and become the replacement for Didier Drogba and Diego Costa.

Long time since I saw a video of Super Mario. How has he been? Nico Williams to Barcelona is such a great idea, I hope he gets to that club and comes out with a great performance.
Arsenal shouldn't be hesitant for a player that would lead them towards winning the Premier League Competition.

As far as I know, Bayern Munich does not have any big plans for Matthijs de Ligt in the upcoming future. So It is probably best for him to actually leave the club and go somewhere where he will have a big role in the future. Manchester United does not seem to be a very good club in which you would want to stay for a very long period of time and also think about having a great future. Especially at this moment. Maybe there is a conversation going on between him and Ten Hag. that's why he is convinced to join Manchester United. But many of the football fans including me are not convinced that it is going to be a very good idea for him.

And yes he also brought up a very good point, which is about the money. Manchester United is broke right now. So I don’t think they will be able to afford expensive players like him very easily.

After Jurgen Klopp announced his departure from Liverpool last season, a lot of people were curious to know his next destination but the German manager was blunt enough to tell the media that he wanted to take a break from football for some time and for a man of Klopp's status, I don't think he's going to change that anytime soon. Even if Jurgen Klopp wants to return to coaching, I think it'll be after the end of next season. Professional coaching is one job that doesn't give football managers the freedom and time to always spend quality time with their family and I think it is the desire to have more time for his family that Jurgen Klopp have decided to take a sabbatical leave from football.
It's never been reported of his next job but if he'll come back to coaching a team after just one full season, then I expect the news of his next destination to be revealed before the end of next season

I just don't think it will happen, especially with Lunin's statements hinting that he wants to stay at Madrid, which clearly proves that Madrid's charm is too great even though it is sometimes difficult to compete.
At present Courtois is 32 years old and that means if you look at the condition of Madrid, actually only a few seasons he can still survive if his performance is still very promising because Madrid sometimes does not hesitate to kick their players when their performance is not very good and this can also be a good opportunity for Lunin so that he can survive because after all it is difficult to release Madrid with the condition of the resources they have.

There is an option where if there is no playing time he can leave, but I don't think that's an option because after all, when he doesn't get the option to play he should be determined to change the coach's judgment in order to compete fairly for the main place in the goalkeeping position with Courtois.

Inflation has a lot to contribute to this rise of expense for getting any player. I don't think it is about the young players. Almost all the players actually cost kind of the same in this day and age. if the young player that a club is trying to get has some level of talent, he is for sure going to go for more than € 100 million. There was a time when Real Madrid got Cristiano Ronaldo for less than € 100 million. It was € 95 million if I recall correctly. And now you have Players like Antony being sold for € 95 million.

Anyway, I think if a club has the money, they can definitely go for players who cost a lot. But it is only going to create a bigger difference between the clubs that do not have huge amounts of money with those who do.

Yamal is going to attract a huge amount of money. Probably more than Mbappé could ever attract.

Some updates

Newcastle still is interested in Dominic Calvert-Lewin and theya re preparting an offer for him

Napoli coach Conte, said that Osimhen will leave, for this reason journalist are thinking that they are going for Lukaku

Mario Balotelli, is joinin Corinthians as a free agent
Barcelona is ready to sign Nico Williams paying the big release clause.

Arsenal almost close the deal for Riccardo Calafiori, big player but big risk considering his knee.

If Jürgen Klopp should return to a club as a coach at some point (he will pause for at least a few years), I would like him to take over a traditional club where there is a big fan base that has been waiting for the title in the league for ages and there he should then lead the respective club to the title. I wouldn't want a strong club for
him like City/Madrid/Barca.

@len01, Benfica has been robbing a lot of clubs lately by setting insane price tags on their young talents. Yes, some young players do deserve it but more than 70m for an unproven player is just crazy. And the fact that they put a tag of 120m on Joao Neves is beyond my understanding.

Honestly, I see Man United being linked with every other player, and their transfer tactic is still not understandable to me so I don't know what they are trying to do, typically, they just sweep in into deals that other clubs are aiming for. On the other hand, PSG is just simply looking for a rebuild after Mbappe left, so it’s understandable if they spend big money on young talents now. Their hunt for an UCL is still not over, I guess.

Unfortunately Klopp will not still be able to achieve any remarkable result as coach of USA, they are still not a football giant and will not still be under Klopp. The best challenge for Klopp should be to take up the role of coach in another club than to become coach of a National team that only play once in a while. Klopp is a very experienced coach, many teams not even in the major Leagues will we be happy to have him as manager.

When a new season starts, every team, strong or weak, thinks that they must do well in the coming season, and they make all the changes they can within their club in order to do well. Some clubs may not be able to buy as many players as expected in their squad due to money but there are some top tier teams who spend huge amounts of money every season just to perform well in various tournaments. In the continuation of all this, Manchester United or Liverpool or Chelsea will want to forget the past bad performance and start a new season. Manchester United performed poorly last season so expectations will naturally be high this season.

I agree. This is Klopp's final decision. I don't expect him to return to his job all of a sudden after saying that he would take a break. He even stated he might not return anytime in the future. But I would really like to see him back one day as he is a really valuable manager.    His journey with Liverpool and Dortmund was so special. Both teams are grateful for his work in these years.

I believe he could think of returning after a break like 1-2 years. He managed teams for 20+ years. It is a really huge career for sure. But maybe he could return for one last time if he misses being in competitive football.

Soulé, very talented young Argentinian player will probably leave Juventus this summer.
Rumors are ongoing for a possible deal done with Leicester for 30 mil + addons.

As Roma is trying to get the player but I don't think they have the money for buying him.

He is already called by main national team,not for this copa America.

One of the reasons for his decision to step down from Liverpool's coaching chair was because he wanted to take a break from his busy life as a coach. Because if he still wants to be a coach, I don't think he will let go of Liverpool or step down from the coaching chair. The reason is that I am very confident in saying that Liverpool will still retain him as coach. Because the performance is still good, even though there has been a decline recently. But Liverpool themselves will not take the risk of sacking him.
He was proudly released by Liverpool and he was widely respected when he said he would step down. Then suddenly he received an offer from another team, which would definitely invite anger from the Liverpool public, especially from the supporters. He would definitely receive disgraceful treatment if he became the coach of another team after he left. The reason was because at the beginning he wanted to rest, not to become a coach for another team..

Of course, Klopp needs a break and that was why he left Liverpool but I think might decide to start coaching again if he wants to come back to coaching or if he has pressure on him by a club to offer him a huge amount of money he might consider coaching again.

I heard that USA wants him to be the coach of their national team in 2026 world cup that would be played in both USA and Canada. Since the world cup is coming up next two years Klopp still have enough time to make his decision on the offer. It will be nice to see him coaching a national team.

PSG has offered a package to buy Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia for 200 million euros and there has been no response from Napoli to PSG offer, but if you look at the current situation it seems that Napoli only wants to sell Osimhen and not Kvaratskhelia, Napoli has recruited several new players at the moment This is so I think they have to immediately stabilize their finances if they don't want to have financial problems later, so far Napoli have recruited 3 new players and there are still several other potential players who are still in the negotiation stage at this time, so it is very likely that Napoli will again spend a lot of money in some time in the future.

Selling Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia seems like it will be a solution for Napoli in the future so I think PSG should continue to try to approach Napoli at this time, so far we can see that PSG is filled with many star players in their squad, recruiting Mbappe, Neymar and Messi is one sign They have been quite ambitious in their mission to win the Champions League trophy so far, so it is not surprising that when these players leave, PSG will immediately look for new players who they can rely on in the next seasons.

Yes, this is the difference from the transfer market in the past. Let's just look at the current phenomenon, the transfer price for players with a tag of €100 million seems to be a common value. although, it seems like it doesn't make sense to us. Maybe FIFA should pay special attention and work around this so that the transfer price becomes appropriate to the other's own capacity. Let's see, there are many expensive players but their performance is not that great. or, the player is actually not that special.

For example Lamine Yamal, even this player is just 16 years old. if there are rumors that PSG is very interested in him, the transfer value is phenomenal. although in fact, Yamal has shown his talent and ability when handling the ball. Another example is the Manchester United striker, although his value does not exceed €100 million, when United brought him from Atalanta the price was very high for a striker of his class. That doesn't mean I'm saying Hojlund doesn't have potential, but his performance has not been proven to be stable, consistent and established. there are many other expensive players, whose value is so very high. Every club now always binds players with clauses, so the player increasingly has no choice, especially if he wants to leave because he is bound by the contract and the rules contained therein.

According to media reports, Paris Saint Germain are interested in signing Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Victor Osimhen. Conte wants Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to stay in the team. On the other hand, Victor Osimhen's release clause is 130 million euros. There are some problems. But if Paris Saint Germain want it, these transfers are done.

After Messi, Neymar and Mbappe, they want to entrust the team to the stars again. There is no doubt that Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Victor Osimhen would take Paris Saint Germain to the next level. They already win the French league every year. But they need more for the Champions League. Above all, they need to be a team that believes in it.

Last season the performance they experienced has already been surpassed. All teams are trying their best to face the tight competition next season to win the title. Not just Chelsea and Manchester United, but all clubs in all leagues.
Last season Chelsea was not bad because they managed to end the season in 6th position in the standings table. The 2024/2025 season is being prepared. We need to wait how and which teams will be great and bad.
