If Nico Williams comes to Arsenal, it is likely that he will be Arteta's first choice for a starter because with these statistics it would be a shame that his talent would be hidden on the bench. I think if Arsenal are really interested in him then they should bring him in and his release clause is still within their reach.

Apart from that, there are other rumors that Chelsea are also very interested in Nico Williams considering that their main target, Michael Olise, chose to join Bayern Munich. I think Chelsea also have the same opportunity here and it will definitely be very easy for them to redeem their release clause. Instead of continuing to rely on Mudryk on the left side, Chelsea would be better off looking for a replacement and Nico Williams is considered very suitable for that position. Well, it looks like we will see competition between these two teams from London to fight for Nico Williams.

Arsenal has contacted someone close to Williams, but there has been no update so far. I am sure this will not be an effortless recruitment for Arsenal, and according to recent reports, Arne Slot is also interested in pursuing Nico Williams as a fresh prospect. 

The main issue is that if Barcelona competes for him, and Arsenal will have no chance of recruiting him from Bilbao. Nico has many friends who have played for Barcelona, so it will be easy for him to join the blaugrana. 

Trossard and Martinelli's performances have always been falling throughout the season, and now is the greatest opportunity for Arteta to bring in a new star to join Arsenal. 

Calhanoglu may leave Inter!
He is speaking with Bayern and Inter is bad about it.
They want keep him at all costs infact they are asking 70 mil for him.

Clowns.

PSG is currently looking for a player who can indeed replace Mbappe position in attack, currently there is no definite news about who is indeed targeted by PSG to be their main striker next season, indeed so far we have heard that Osimhen is one of the players that is being targeted by PSG, but we do not see any active movements that are indeed made by PSG to reach the agreement with Napoli,  In fact, it is reported that currently the Saudi Arabian team and the English League are more inclined to be active to be able to recruit Osimhen next season, the arrival of conte in my opinion does not guarantee that Osimhen can get a place in the Napoli squad next season, especially now that it is reported that conte is currently making Lukaku their main striker target next season and making Osimhen a barter to get Lukaku from Chelsea.

Talking about Kvaratskhelia so far he has a 3-year contract left at Napoli, but I don't think if he will be retained by Napoli when a big offer comes from a team like PSG, Enrique of course has to work hard enough to be able to get the right player at the moment, but of course it depends on the support of PSG who is willing or not to spend a lot of money to get the player Enrique is currently targeting,I think PSG is currently in the right hands and they just need to give Enrique a little more time to be able to build his squad.

That's how demand and supply works, it's completely fair.

Mbappe know he can't develop himself is he's playing for PSG, that's why he ask for money instead. PSG can't meet the request, but they're still want to convince Mbappe to stay, they even hold Mbappe's bonus and there's no news whether PSG has paid the bonus or not.

PSG need to learn if money isn't everything.

Nico Williams is rumoured with Arsenal recently. What do you think about a potential transfer?

Honestly I really like him. He is quite talented and effective on one-on-ones. He is a deadly left-winger for sure.    He is only 21 as well which is just great for Arsenal. You know how much they are into bringing this kind of young talents to the team. He was like an assist machine last season and contributed well with goals too (8 goals, 19 assists in 37 games).

However Arsenal already has Trossard and Martinelli. Nico Williams should definitely be used on the left to get more efficiency. I wonder what kind of changes Arteta will make in case of signing him. Maybe he might try Nico on the right anyway to compare and then decide.

Conte will not let Osimhen go, he came to Napoli and his intentions are very serious. PSG, by the way, were interested not only in Osimhen, there was much more talk about Kvaratskhelia, but Conte is also determined to keep him in the team. Well, he is only 23 years old, a very young forward, I would probably try to find someone more experienced in Enrique’s place, although on the other hand he needs several good forwards, and so far their search has not had the proper success.

Yes, I believe Real Madrid has been a pretty solid club so far and in fact the Real Madrid players are quite comfortable playing there even though Real Madrid has a lot of great players but they still work together to show their best, after all Carlo Ancelotti will definitely do his best for At the club, he is an experienced coach so he really understands how to set strategies for his players and doesn't just rely on Mbappe because Mbappe is a new player for Real Madrid so he needs a long adaptation and Ancelotti will definitely make the player adapt quickly so he can quickly contribute to the cause for club.

Talking about Juselu, I have heard that Real Madrid is willing to make this player permanent. Moreover, the price is not that expensive, so Real Madrid doesn't really mind, but regarding his position at Real Madrid, I'm not sure Carlo Anceloti will use him. I think he doesn't have much time to play and is only used only when he needs it, for example if Real Madrid's mainstay player is tired or injured, maybe he will fill the gap.

Mbappe realized that PSG really needed him because he had above average skills. He immediately took this opportunity to ask for something that was impossible for the club to realize. PSG still maintains a limit that players cannot cross, Mbappe request is very unreasonable because this amount is considered too large to pay the player's salary.
PSG also suffered big losses because they had too much hope in Mbappe. Previously, Real Madrid had offered Mbappe at a high price, but the money from Real Madrid seemed meaningless and they simply rejected it. Now PSG have to look for other players after Mbappe left them on a free transfer. They also need to learn from the case that just happened, when a player has shown an attitude that has crossed the line, PSG has to sell him because if he continues to keep him it will be detrimental to the club.

Well he may have still some "future" in his mind while possibly taking this deal. Manchester United will not be in the UCL this season, whereas Galatasaray possibly could be, they have one game they need to play to be in it, but if they get a win at that one, they will be in the UCL. Also last season galatasarays right back, Boey, went to Bayern Munich and yeah he didn't get that many games played before he got injured but he had that chance.

So, Wan Bisakka could use Galatasaray as a stepping stone, much better than what he has shown at United. If he goes there, plays 2 seasons at UCL, do great against big clubs then he could be transferred to some good team with some good amount of money. Or if not, he could just play there for four years and then go to SA.

It's actually saddens me that the captain of real madrid which I normally called Mr reliable is leaving the club, initially I thought he was staying put, but that wasn't the case, i just think that his mind was already made up, he just wanted a change or since his glorious career is coming to an end now, his just wanted to go and make the money in Saudi Arabia, so on that note, his decision it's quite understandable.

And as for the move  of olise to Bayern Munich, I was very much surprised when I saw the news, and I initially thought it wasn't legit, that it was just a rumour, but to me, it's a massive step forward in his short career, because playing in a team as Bayern Munich will definitely take his football to a better height, though competition for places in the team will be very high, just as every other top clubs in the world, so I believe that he knows perfectly well how competition for places in the team would be, but I believe that his acquisition is a major one for this Bayern side, especially now that sane is out of form and Gnabry is injury prone, congratulations to him on this move.

Yes, of course this has nothing to do with Real Madrid because this club is just a new club that got Mbappe from the transfer market for free without any problems.
Talking about the bonus that PSG must pay to Mbappe, in fact both parties are equally stubborn about Mbappe's desire to ask for a large salary and bonus, while PSG does not want to suffer big losses by paying large amounts to players who no longer contribute to their club.
In my opinion, Mbappe's departure as a free agent was just a form of anger when Mbappe, who was always a player, was given a painful drama while joining PSG and this was the reason why he wanted to leave PSG as a free agent.

I don't want to blame PSG but PSG shouldn't expect Mbappe to stay at PSG because there have been many rumors spreading that Mbappe is linked with Real Madrid and it's a good opportunity to sell Mbappe at a reasonable price.
Now PSG just needs to pay what it should do or else PSG's reputation will become worse in the eyes of professional players and give doubt to professional players who will join PSG.
Maybe this is the reason why Osimhen as a professional player is not interested in the offer from PSG because he doubts that his future will not develop in League 1.

A whooping €100 millions is big and massive. We understand PSG have completely play mute when it involves such contract with their keyman because he exited Parc des Princes stadium this season, perhaps they will fight in due cause. Kylian Mbappe would want everything possibility of receiving huge profits from his contract with Paris Saint-Germain. The Frenchman want everything the club's owed him and he's not holding back because he keep facing straight scene.

IMO, Real Madrid has nothing to do with mbappe's case. Although, mbappe is madrid's player, but it is a dispute between mbappe and PSG. Mbappe refused to be sold by PSG, and he left the club on his own initiative. Just to refresh your memory, PSG handed him with two options: Firstly, sign a contract extension. Secondly, Mbappe should agree to be cashed in by PSG, but Mbappe has stated that he intends to leave PSG as a free agent.

And, once again, PSG has affirmed that they are in the process of negotiating payments with mbappe, and if PSG continues to refuse to pay mbappe's compensation, mbappe will take this case to court.

I also think situation with Mason Greenwood is complicated. Even though he was found not guilty accusations against him are serious and have raised concerns. Manchester United looked into it and decided it was best to let him go and I think that was a best decision. Some people like Erik Ten Hag might want him back but others are unsure. I think it is best for Greenwood to move on and start over somewhere else away from all  attention and criticism. A new place maybe outside of England would let him focus on his career without being reminded of his past mistakes. It's a chance for him to start fresh and improve as a player.

Mason GreenWood case is a very different story, he was reported to have been bullying his girlfriend and even video evidences were shown but the court had ruled that he wasn’t guilty of his charges and he is even now with the lady after she had his child. Yes many would have wanted Manchester United to bring him back to the team but they had their own personal investigation and thought it would be wise for him to go elsewhere to avoid the public eyes away from Manchester United. To me it was the perfect plan and gracefully it worked out for Greenwood. After a stellar performance at Getafe it was reported that Erik Ten Hag would love to have him at the club with the right wing still much vacant but some factions of staffs and fans still are yet to be convinced about the whole thing and that’s why the board are reluctant to keep him.

My opinion is they the boy be allowed to leave because ten environment already is discriminating him already, if he stays he would have more of this to deal with which might hinder his career. My advice is for him to move elsewhere outside England as this will allow to stay away from this saga. But if he remains with Manchester United the stigma will be still use against him by either fans that don’t want him to stay or by away fans to distract him

Indeed. Nacho has got almost every prestigious trophy with Real Madrid. He even becomes the captain of Real Madrid squad last season. But he already decided to leave Real Madrid although I heard Real Madrid offered him a contract extension. I guessed he will join Al Nassr, Al Ittihad, or Al Hilal. It is quite surprising that he decided to join Al Qadsiah.

Michael Olise may think he will have a better career in Bayern Munich because it is a bigger team. But Bayern Munich already has enough wingers. It seems to have a big challenge to compete for the position in Bayern Munich. Michael Olise main position is a right winger, Bayern Munich has Serge Gnabry and Leroy Sané in that position. I think the level of Michael Olise is still below those players. So, he seems to spend the time on the bench.

Playing in the Euro made many players faus and some countries are having good performances because of having some players in these teams. This can make these players to get good offers from great teams.
For example, Morten Hjulmand the Danish player of Sporting had a good performance in this tournament so far,
Teams like Tottenham and Manchester United are linked to this palter but they should pay around 89 million euros for him.

 

Looks like things are going to end dirty between PSG and Real Madrid. I have a problem with how PSG operate as a club, they had different opportunities to sell Mbappe and make money off him, of which they refused, now that he has left to Real Madrid for free, they should swallow the difficult pill and allow everything to end on good terms.

Why are they owing him his salaries and bonuses for the month of April and May, and since they are owing him that, they're certainly not planning on paying him for June; it is all messy, and i think the best option is for the club to do the right thing by paying him, and then move on.

But it looks like they are able to circumvent these salary restrictions with sponsorships from companies, but correct me if I am wrong. They are negotiating revenue-sharing deals and in the case of Messi there was Apple, Adidas and others on board. With Apple, they negotiated a deal that if more people by Apple+ to watch the MLS, then Messi gets a share. He can make a fortune, but I assume that the salary portion of Messi's contract ends up being the smallest part of his overall income from his engagement with Inter Miami.

I am pretty sure that the MLS does allow for ways to be found to sign superstars. They would not want to restrict themselves too badly if their goal is to turn MLS into a globally attractive league.
