Kroos is a complete professional. He wants to leave football at the top and spend more time with his family. I understand him on this issue because he has worked hard for years. He'll need some rest, too. We know that money is not important to him because he is blind to the astronomical offers that may come from the Saudis. In addition, if he returns to football after a year, he has the quality to play in big teams again. I think he will listen to himself and rest a little. I remember him with respect and thank him for his efforts in football.

Luka Modric will remain at Real Madrid next season. Modric has signed a new contract with Los Blancos. Modric is currently 38 years old. He is no longer the main choice in the Los Blancos squad. Even though he often acts as a bench warmer, Modric has just helped Real Madrid win the Champions League trophy. He played as a substitute in the final against Borussia Dortmund. There are rumors that Modric will part ways with Real Madrid. Now, it is certain that Modric will not leave Los Blancos this summer. Modric has signed a new contract at Real Madrid for one year. Thus, the Croatian player will stay until 2025. Previously, Modric had expressed his desire to stay at Real Madrid. He hopes to finish his career at Los Blancos.

Just as you rightfully pointed out, victor osimhen is definitely going to be an expensive acquisition to any club that want to got his signature on paper, because he is not just and expensive player, but also a very top players also, and it's only few teams that can afford him, though I disagree on what you said that it's only psg that would be able to afford him now, no, Manchester united can afford him if they want to chase this particular deal, it's just a matter of if they are willing to chase this deal.

But to me, on a career move for victor osimhen, I would have love it if he stay put at Napoli, if no English team is able to acquire his signature, than going to Paris, because as for me, staying back at Napoli is not a bad move either, because since their new manager is Antonio conte, they are more likely to challenge for trophies this season, so moving away from the club should not be a must, to have a successful career.

Toni Kroos choose the right time to end his career as a professional player at club level, he left Real Madrid in perfect fashion. The Champions League trophy was his final offering for Real Madrid. His departure leaves Modric as a senior player in midfield, but that doesn't mean Real Madrid will be weak after Toni Kroos leaves. Several young midfielders are starting to show their talents as a new generation who are ready to make Real Madrid add another prestigious title.

The presence of Carlo Ancelotti in the coaching chair will enable Real Madrid to dominate La Liga this season, especially since their rivals are not at their best. Real Madrid is still a strong team in La Liga, the depth of the team they currently have will make it easier for them to control the match, especially since they already have the best striker who has just been brought in from PSG.

You're wrong, it has nothing to do with money, it's just how you perceive things. If he wanted money then he wouldn't hesitate when Saudi Arabian Premier Clubs came last season all out for him. It's tiring to keep on reading things like this online. Jesus Christ! You don't even know a person and you go on to make such conclusions.. a-and for your information,  Victor Oshime is not the perfect replacement for Kylian Mbappe, they're both different players don't get it wrong.
I see him wanting to challenge for more domestic trophies and possibly the Champions League Competition.

He has no issue with Antonio Conte, not yet but we'll see what happens. I would love to see him becoming the next Manchester United number nine if you ask me, there's no way he'll play with Bruno Fernandez and not convert those chances. Manchester United cannot depend on Rasmus Hojlund next season.




Toni Kroos is has won it all, he should be feeling relaxed already, i don't think he cannot give his all for the club anymore,  it's cool though, creating chance for those youngins to compete. Also giving his jersey to Valverde was one good thing I saw him do before retirement. It's the right thing to reduce the salary of Luka Modric. They're capitalizing on his current situation very well. He wants a send off same way they did for Toni Kroos last season.

I don't see him getting too many chances, he'll just be there to also pass what experience and knowledge he has of the game to the player's who are much younger in the squad.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Victor Oshimen are both strikers so Conte can still rely on one of them if it is true that one of them will leave, in my opinion Oshimen and Kvaratskhelia's performance is not much different and Conte can put Kvarat in Oshimen's position but yes Conte still needs players others to fill the void that will be left behind.
It is the hope of Napoli fans that they don't want to lose one of them because they are an important part of the club, but if one of them is uncomfortable leaving is the best decision rather than forcing themselves.

Whatever the price, it is clear that Victor Oshimen is an expensive player and only rich clubs can recruit this player, not only PSG dares to make an offer to this player. The Premier League is also occupied by rich clubs and I see that Manchester United is also interested in this player, but they had to sell one of its mainstay players to be able to recruit Oshimen. Let's see which of them can finally recruit Oshimen.

It's also possible they're not looking for his on-field performance as mentioned above. It's not new, I recall Liverpool doing the same thing with Milner. I suppose a team player who can lead and be vocal in the dressing room is essential. I believe a one-year contract for old but key players is also common. Most of the time they become the second or third choice for the captain position. I think it's a good deal if their goal is to rejuvenate the squad with new leaders for the future. CMIIW.

I looked for some of the latest sources regarding Luca Modric and it seems that he is still staying at Real Madrid.
Some of the news related that I found were these:
Luca Modric will become the captain after Nacho leaves Real Madrid this season. And indeed, if Modric plays, then he is the one who deserves the most to be captain, with his experience, trust, position, and also of course his demeanor on the field and mental readiness. It's just that, is it possible that at his current age, he can compete fully? I don't think so, it will definitely affect the stability of the performance. But I personally still really expect that he will be right here.

Oh yeah, the content that is a bit confusing is also on transfermarkt. because he has now been a free agent since July 1.
Luca Modric profile:

In fact, based on the latest news, Real Madrid really wants a 1-year contract extension for Modric. This makes perfect sense at his age. 1 year contract extension is enough for him to spend this season with Real Madrid. However, maybe the signing hasn't happened yet because they are still focused on the Euros for some time. so it is recorded as free on transfermarkt.

As far as I know, Napoli is trying to keep one of the players at least. But it is untrue if Conte isn't worried because Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia actually have different positions in the lineup. So if one of them leave the team, Conte must sign a new player to replace the position left by the player. It is not easy to get a new player who has the same level as them. And it should take a lot of money to sign a top player, Napoli must do a hard effort if they must sign a player with the same level as Osimhen or Kvaratskhelia. Personally, I hope both of them will stay in Napoli.

The latest news I know, Napoli wants €150m for Osimhen. PSG already made an offer above €120m but it was rejected by Napoli management. I don't think there is an EPL team that wants to pay for €150m. I guess only PSG which is very serious to sign Osimhen and they want to spend money over €120m.

Dumb? It is funny to see your comment. 
Real Madrid isn't dumb because they know well what Modric can do for Real Madrid team. Real Madrid only extends 1 year for Modric's contract, and Real Madrid never replaced the role of Kroos with Modric. If you are a Real Madrid fan, you must know well that Modric and Kroos have different roles in Real Madrid team. And Modric won't be the main player anymore, he must spend most time in the bench. He only plays if it is needed.

Modric is old but golden but his decision to stay isn't a call from Real Madrid, the stay was his idea entirely. There talk about him been given a role as an assistant coach but I don't know how that went, maybe it was a rumor but he should be resting if I were him or better still go to where other old players are getting their retirement check in Sauidi Arabia and the retire from there unless he want to remain legend to Real Madrid but doesn't that even matter? I don't think so.

It will be dumb for Real Madrid to keep Modric as a replacement for Kroos, he is irreplaceable, his ways of changing the midfield games is different from the way Modric plays. If they are keeping him to enable young ones blend well in the game, then it's fine but Modric as Kroos replacement is misplaced priority and I don't see any reason for another extension of his contract.

Modric is old, but he is still playing like a young player because he is still doing well. This is good news for real Madrid fans because they have already missed Kroos, and it is better that Modric renews his one-year contract. I am sure that even after the season ends, they will want him to renew again. if he continues to do well. Real Madrid is completely prepared to perform well next season, even without Mbappe, and they are ready to compete with any club. Modric is not concerned about salary because if it were, he would have left Real Madrid and moved to the Saudi league, where he would have earned a lot of money. Real Madrid's first and second elevens are both good, and they are all fit. Real Madrid is expected to win the La Liga and possibly the Champions League next season due to their excellent players and ability to fight with other clubs.

This will obviously be done because it will be very difficult for Madrid when losing some of its senior players, especially 2 of the 6 players who can be said to be their most senior have decided to leave where Kroos decided to retire and Nacho went to Qatar.
With Modric staying for one more season, it is indeed a very good thing for Madrid in the end because regardless of anything although his role in Madrid may not be as intense as before where he was always a player in the midfield but with just his presence in the squad it is very good.

Modric can be an alternative and an option when Madrid rotate but on the other hand he can still be in the core squad but he might be one of the players who won't be on the pitch for too long, not that he's bad because he's a legend but this is so that the young players have more flying hours.

Real Madrid are entirely in formidable shape, I see no opponents capable of withstanding their pressures. Toni Kroos and Luka Modric are partners and they've accomplished brilliant records together. However Toni Kroos made public notice regarding his exits from Santiago Bernabéu this season, after winning treble with Carlo Ancelotti this season, the German have taught of high time to hanged his boots and enjoyed his moment.

This is news should be more than 3 weeks ago since his one year contract deal was signed, though I'm not impressed but as a legend that he is, they keep renewing it instead of giving him a full comract, the last 3 contract his signed were chopped of 1 year but I'm sure that Modric is closed to been retirement than we we might see, perhaps after this season he will decide to stay but this time as an assistant coach to Anceloti just as the club want for Kross as well but he want to go further that place.

Players like Modric aren't supposed to be playing at this level, they have shown dedication to Real Madrid and it's not as if the new guys aren't capable of doing the job, Kroos is done and at this junction, Modric is supposed to be resting with his family as well but from his reactions and interviews, he doesn't want to play any football for club other than Real Madrid, I see that as a respect and royalty but it doesn't really matters because even Ronaldo moved on despite been the legend icon of the club.

This is actually good news in my opinion. Especially I am very happy to actually know that Luka Modrić is staying. Even though he is old, the quality of him actually surpasses anything else. Tony Kroos could also play for a longer period of time. But we all know that the Kroos is not someone to do that. You know  Kroos has previously famously said that "he is retiring because he is not able to give his 100% anymore." But you know even 70% from him is good enough. That also applies for Luka Modrić as well. Florentino Pérez and CEO José Ángel Sánchez said they are in discussion about reducing Modric's salary a little Modric also accepts that and they committed money is not important here.

Anyway, I am happy that he is staying. Carlo Ancelotti is going to have a really quality player on the bench if he stays.

I tried to find some video games of this young player, it turns out Han Willhoft-King players with good talents owned by Spurs. Indeed, Manchester City's talent guide is quite fast and accurate in targeting young players who have good potential. If Manchester City still lasts a long time with Pep Guardiola, then Han Willhoft-King will be a future project of Manchester City and the British national team if he decides to choose to become a British country.

Comments on Han Willhoft-King on Fabrizio Romano's tweet about the transfer of Han Willhoft-King to the Etihad Stadium are also very positive. On average they comment on the greatness of the game Han Willhoft-King.

I think there are two possible reasons why Osimhen was reluctant to leave Napoli last season. The first possibility, he has settled very well and feels comfortable in Napoli, thus making him reluctant to leave it all behind. Meanwhile, for the second possibility, at that time he would only want to move to the team he wanted.

At the moment, it looks like only PSG will be able to pay 100 million euros to Napoli because they really need a striker to fill the vacant position after Mbappe left, and as we know, PSG does not hesitate to spend lots of money for players they really want. As for other teams, it seems like they would think twice about the price of 100 million Euros because Osimhen's performance was not as impressive as last season.

Even if it is not official yet from clubs, Thuram is now a Juventus' player.
The deal done has been announced by the top tier for reliability journalist, including Fabrizio Romano.

25m and 2.5m salary for him.

So far PSG have not made a decision or made an official offer to secure Osimhen's services, and even several Premier League clubs who were linked have not made an official offer. The reason is, it seems that bringing in this striker from Nigeria is too expensive, not to mention his salary. In other news, Victor Osimhen is expected to start pre-season with Napoli next week because no club has submitted a concrete offer for the Nigerian international player. therefore, Napoli coach Antonio Conte is likely to meet Osimhen at Castel Volturno next week.

After all, Paris Saint-Germain is apparently more interested in Osimhen's teammate, Khvicha Kvaratskheila. Well, maybe because Osimhen is more interested in leaving for the Premier League. If in the end no official offer is submitted to Napoli, that means Osimhen will remain in the Serie A competition. Unless Napoli is willing to reduce the transfer value for Osimhen. Thus, maybe there is a Premier League club who is serious about bringing him. for example, Arsenal had intentions for this Nigerian international striker. Well, if in the end Osimhen stays at Napoli, Conte will automatically use his services. because after all, Osimhen is one of the top strikers who can be relied on heavily on the front lines, Conte just has to formulate a formula for his team's squad regardless of the players he wants to bring in or his disputes with the clubs he previously managed.

I was quite surprised by Fabrizio Romano's tweet about Willhoft-King. The Tottenham U19 player is rumored to be of interest to Man City. I am monitoring Willhoft-King because he has my country's blood. It is said that the Indonesian Federation is monitoring this player to join the Indonesian national team. But it seems that he is not willing to join, because he seems to have the ability to develop and hopes to join a better England national team.
