PSG must be more patient and trust the process carried out by Luis Enrique, losing Mbappe is not the end of PSG dominance in Ligue 1, they still have abundant money to bring in quality players. The money that PSG has can tempt other clubs to release their players and can tempt players with large salaries. Luis Enrique not only needs a quality striker in PSG's front line, he will also try to bring in players who are able to maintain the rhythm of the game in the midfield position, he will try to make PSG what Guardiola once did with Bayern Munich and Manchester City. It takes time for PSG to achieve success on the European stage like Manchester City did, PSG officials must give Luis Enrique time to make PSG a team like Manchester City that is capable of winning the Champions League Trophy.

I find it really awkward that a club as big as Barcelona in world's football are struggling so much financially as this, to the extent that they are so broke  that they can't afford someone as joao cancelo who is not that expensive, when talking into consideration of how costly transfer of players is this nowadays.

And for Joao cancelo getting back into the Manchester city side, I think right now it's near impossible because pep guardiola who is currently the manager of Manchester city doesn't rate him that much and he is a player that want a regular playing time, which is not possible right now due to the present form of Kyle walker, but as it is right now, anything can still happen on his future because the summer transfer window is just starting.

The main position as center defender will definitely belong to Matthijs de Ligt and will be a duet with Lisandro Martinez. Manchester United is not an ordinary club but a big club. My focus behind Matthijs de Ligt's decision cannot be separated from Erik ten Hag's new assistant who is also a former Manchester United player, namely Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Hopefully the hopes of Manchester United fans can come true with a number of new Manchester United signings. It doesn't really matter to me.

Despite the dominance in France and the wealth of PSG, they've not been able to achieve their Champions League dreams. This is why they are trying their best to buy huge names in football, but still do not have that luck yet. I think they should look beyond the buying of big names but completely structure the team in a short space of time, and with a viable coach. They often rely on some sectional players where almost all the players should be trusted to deliver. Take Man City for instance, you will hardly see a player there that is not so fitting for the spot he plays, that's what we call a good team and not having it strong somewhere but having it weak or manageable elsewhere. This arrangement only puts pressure on their key stars and in that condition, they may not be able to deliver at best.

Now, good names like Messi, Mbappe, Di Maria, Neymar etc who were bought with huge amounts a few years ago have left, which can only mean that money and their current style will not get them their desire. Also, you are right about the sorting for big players by luring them with big money and are willing to splash €200m on both Victor Osimhen and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Victor Osimhen may still be tempted even though he prefers to play in the premier league but Napoli has maintained their unwillingness for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia regardless of the offer.

Guardiola doesn't need João Cancelo as you said and that's why they are ready to even give some discount and let this player leave the team because they need the money from his player. Barcelona wants to have him but they don't have the money to have João Cancelo permanently and they want João Cancelo for loan. I think even João Cancelo would like to play for Barcelona in the next season.
Now the bad news for Barcelona is about Juventus showing interest in hiring João Cancelo. Since they have got a better situation, this won't be surprising to see João Cancelo even join Juventus instead of Barcelona.

PSG can't recruit hungry and motivated players because Ligue 1 is not a competitive league, there is only one dominant group and that's PSG. It's also not a popular league. Hungry and motivated players aim for football clubs that play in the Premier League and La Liga mostly. Mbappe left PSG because he was hungry, if they couldn't keep Mbappe, they wouldn't be able to attract motivated players.

There are rumours that PSG is willing to offer a world-record transfer fee of €250 million to sign Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal. Yamal is Barcelona's biggest hope but I don't know whether Yamal will be like Messi who will do everything for Barca or if he moves in PSG because of money.

Now that they have lost their most important players it is now time to rebuild their team because the likes of Mbappe, Messi and Neymar made it difficult for them to sign other players and even if they do they will not have playing enough time. They say everything happens for a reason so maybe losing Mbappe could do them good and bring in other good players that will give their all for the club and maybe they can become good challengers for the Champions League.

It’s all about Money and the team is known to be good money spenders so bringing in players wouldn’t be much of a problem if the player is willing to join them. Yamal is a good player but the selling price set on him by Barcelona is just too much for any team to afford for now, i think they should probably give him more time to develop and probably for his value to depreciate a little. They need a top striker, the likes of Osimhen and also an additional winger, in fact they need to add more players to all departments of the team to build a decent squad.

Arsenal has thrown away players one by one who are not really used in their current squad, after Lokonga moved to Sevilla with a loan option, now Arsenal have also thrown away one of the players who was previously considered talented but failed to compete to break into Arsenal main squad, Nuno Tavarez became a purchase which was previously considered a very appropriate purchase and Tavarez was considered one of the best defender candidates in the future, but the high price spent by Arsenal in recruiting Nuno Tavarez from Benfica previously did not make Arsenal satisfied to keep him in the squad and he was continuously loaned out to other teams during this time.

Arsenal has now officially loaned Nuno Tavares back to Lazio with a 5 year contract + mandatory buy clause option and sell clause at a cost of around 9 million euros, Nuno Tavarez currently only needs to complete a medical examination before he officially becomes a Lazio player next season.

I also see that Mbappe's departure from PSG will not immediately make PSG worse as long as Enrique is still able to manage the PSG team so well and get the other target players he currently wants. Because PSG, which previously had a little dependence on Mbappe, must be able to be more independent in seeing its future because I think there are many other great players who are still at PSG and that will make Enrique more enthusiastic in building the performance of the PSG team next season.

Well, this will be a golden opportunity for Kepa to leave Chelsea and of course he will be very happy to be part of Real Madrid again. Maybe he also doesn't care about the competition to be the main goalkeeper at Real Madrid and the most important thing is that he can continue to win titles. What's more, he will also be very close to his family in Spain.

Apart from that, considering that Lunin still wants to leave if he doesn't get the chance to play as a starter, it is very likely that he will move before the summer transfer window closes. He will be the target of many clubs and I think the team that can sign him will be very lucky.

It's actually saddens me to sees a quality player like joselu moving to Qatar's league when their are so many good clubs out there that would have come begging for his signature if he had waited more, though it's very much logical why real madrid never wanted to retain his services, due to the fact that they have Kyler mbape now, and the likes of Rodrigo can also fill in that void in the team, so what I sense in this real Madrid team and it's the major reason they let him go is that carlo ancelotti want to integrate guler more into the team, so I expect Rodrigo to play more as an attacker than on the wings, but it's actually a wrong move to me, because he is too good to go and waste away in Qatar, when their are so many good clubs that can employ his services in Europe.

Nico being 21 years old IS the reason why he worths that much, I mean him exactly like this but at 30 years old would not worth this much, but a team who gets him would be able to use him for ten years if they want to, and that's the part that makes it worth this much.

I am not saying that it would be reasonable, but if Barcelona had the money and spent sixty million on him and used him and used him for 10 years, that would be just six million a year, nearly nothing for them, even if you add a salary, we are talking about a cheap player for that much of a long time,  plus they could then sell him to some Arabic team and make maybe half of that money back lol. They just don't have the money for it, and that's why they do not do it.

Normally I can also agree that players are overpriced these days.    We weren't witnessing this many players being signed for unbelievably high amounts. But football is changing...

Nowadays considering the fees given to talented players in general, I can say 58 million euros is still nice for Nico Williams. Because he is a big player candidate already taking his current game into account.    I agree with another thing there, about Yamal - Nico coherence. They are both deadly at Spain in Euro 2024. I also believe they would be an amazing duo at Barcelona as well. If Barcelona is investing in youngsters to build their future, they should choose the right players for that.

You cannot bring such a big name to Real Madrid without having players like Aurelien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga worrying about their game time and future with Real Madrid. I don't see him leaving Manchester City right now, he has won it all for Manchester City no doubts but it'll be cool if he can just move to another League Competition but Real Madrid? That wouldn't be bad idea but, No!
That was the perfect response to give such a player, I'm a person that won't take seconds to think if Real Madrid comes knocking for me honestly. I'm taking the next flight, train, and bus to complete and finalize the deal, but this is difficult situation for Rodri.


They have both Kylian Mbappe and Endrick coming in next season, they'll both be joining the Pre-season in the next two weeks so they can prepare for the new season.
Maybe not for him, but for Real Madrid? They are the best in the world and they deserve nothing less all they need is standard and Joselu hasn't been up to the bar I wanted or what Real Madrid expected.
Goodluck to him in his new path, as for Real Madrid, they'll be gunning yet again to win both the La Liga and Champions League Competition again next season.

I don’t know how one can evaluate such transfers, Kompany is well acquainted with the Premier League and he chooses those players whom he knows better. Although I just read that Palhinha was supposed to become a Bayern player this winter, he even passed a medical examination, but something fell through at the last moment, This means that this transfer was in Bayern’s plans long before Kompany joined the team. From this I can conclude that not everything in the team regarding transfers is decided by the Company.

I don't know what will happen if Real Madrid can get Rodri and it could be said that they have the best squad that no other team can match. Dani Carvajal seems to be very close to Rodri because not only as a colleague in the Spanish national team but also in everyday life even though their careers are in different countries.

Rodri's response also seemed to indicate that he wanted to move if he was still not under contract with Manchester City and I think Rodri's attitude was very professional in responding to Dani Carvajal's request. A defensive midfielder like Rodri is one of the best and as long as he defends Manchester City he almost never feels defeated and when he is absent Manchester City always falter. This is a possible target for Real Madrid if Rodri one day wants to leave.

No doubt, one season playing with Saudi Arabia club they can earn payment salary around three until four season with the European teams and make them not really care have to play with higher level competition but depend on how much salary payment receive.
In this season seems has huge invasion of Europe payers moving to Saudi Pro League team regarding bigger payment salary receiving than keep stay with the European team, most of them have reach golden age above 30 years old and their career in football around few years later and won't loss bigger opportunity to earn bigger payment salary.

Joselu still have place with Real Madrid for one season later but he won't loss opportunity without any minutes playing after arriving Mbappe, leaving Real Madrid and joining with team give bigger payment salary become realistic option for him regarding he was over 34 years old and left few years only before retiring from football.

Joselu is really comfortable to playing in Real Madrid and when his loan duration ended Joselu doesn't want to moved from this team even Joselu has putting Real Madrid as his main priority and last season he has scores 17 goals in all competitions with Real Madrid besides that everytime played Joselu almost be scores important goals for Real Madrid and help this team to gets the winning result so in my opinion as substutition player status i think these records is very impressive and i thought Ancelotti will considering these records and will give Joselu more chances next season and permanent his status from Espanyol but apparently i was wrong about that because Real Madrid has decide will not used him anymore for next season

But nothing he can do because the arrival of Mbappe and Endrick makes Joselu will be more difficult to gets one place on Real Madrid forward lines so maybe moved to Al Gharafa is very good decision for Joselu besides that i am sure he can earn a lot of money from this club because i am sure Al Gharafa will give him contract with high salary moreover Joselu currently 34 years old and probably he already passed his prime on football so maybe the decision why Ancelotti not using him anymore is very good decision and about Al Gharafa honestly i didn't know about this club or Qatar league because this league isn't too popular compared to Saudi Pro League

Using the available players at his disposal will be the best option for Hansi Flick because of the poor financial standing of Barcelona. It might be a very difficult task because the team will need some new players but if he can use these players to win trophies and boost the financial conditions of Barca, next season will be better. We will not know if the sack of Xavi Hernandez is a mistake until the season starts.

Pep Guardiola doesn't have João Cancelo in his plans that's why the club has reduced his price. Since Barcelona can only offer a loan, Juventus, Saudi Arabian-based Al-Ahli, and Al-Ettifaq might be some of the options the Spanish international has. He has not shown any interest in leaving Europe, so Seria A might be a good option.

Footballers can earn as much in a single season in the Arab League as they do in 4-5 years in Europe, so some of the choices seem pointless, but that's how it works. Joselu chose to earn more money because after Mbappe joined the team it was very difficult for him to get a chance. Before Joselu, many footballers had made such a choice.

Footballers who go to the Arab League at a young age return to the European Leagues after 2-3 years of earning money. The striking detail of the European championship was that Arab League players had a hard time keeping their form. If they want to play in Europe again, they have to get fit.
