Zidane is a wise coach and one of the most successful coaches in Real Madrid's history. He always chooses a famous club, and behind that success is a team of all-star students. If Zidane goes to Real Madrid, he will bring Mbappé with him at all costs?. It's not necessary to say Zidane has to depend on the stars. His tactics also make opponents afraid.
I still want to see Zidane return as coach. He should prove his bravery when he is ready to revive a seriously depressed team. I mean, Manchester United needs him more than ever. They are in severe decline.

Barcelona are not short of talented players, but their only problem is that their financial conditions are not favorable. If in good financial conditions maybe the top players they can pay and will not worry anymore about who to sell and who to keep. Lewa presence alone is enough to make a big contribution on the front lines. Joao Felix played with passion because for him there was no way back, so playing as optimally as possible was his last choice at Barcelona. Similarly, Joao Cancelo at Man City his position will be easily replaced by Pep Guardiola preferred player. Plus Man City back line competition is tougher than in Barcelona. The same fate was experienced by the Joao duo.

Although there are already Nkuku and Jackson, if Osimhen to Chelsea will provide additional strength that makes the Blues more effective in sharpening their attack. To Manchester United? So difficult, the club did not dare to spend more funds, Erik Ten Hag is clearly not the type of coach who wants players like Osimhen. Just leave Man United with Ten Hag favorite formation, it is difficult to include a great player like Osimhen. In the hands of a Ten Hag the ability that Osimhen has will not develop.

The challenges of this season are getting tougher and Chelsea need a goalkeeper of sufficient quality. Perhaps considering options other than Robert Sanchez is also necessary. At least Ramsdale who lost his regular position at Arsenal will be highly motivated if he gets an offer from another club.

@X-ray there’s definitely the possibility that Kroos and Modric will leave because they know that first team football is no longer guaranteed for them and it makes sense to leave on a high note rather then being forced to leave in a year’s time. Furthermore I’m not surprised that Real Madrid want Halland because he’s exactly the type of striker they need and as I said earlier that his history with Jude will be an added bonus that Real will want to capitalise on.

Those guys were extending their contracts for longterm but nothing certain about the future of joselu in real madrid at this moment. I was not surprised when those guys were extending their contract for long term caused by they have been dedicating their life for real madrid.
The situation can change any time when there will be a few of those players will show big decline in their performances. There will be some players that will leave from the club too like carvajal, modric and kroos (possible).
There may be more players to leave from real madrid but ancellotti is also trying to sing some new players from different club. Real madrid has so many midfielders and ancellotti is now focusing on how to recruit reece james from chelsea.

Ancellotti may secretly working in recruiting a new striker. There are many speculations about haaland will become the main target by real madrid but that's it.

I thought that idea that the Italian Ancelotti to coach Brazil national team was a thing of the past already. That's my thoughts because alot of former Brazilian players have raised their voices against Rodriguez's decision to take that route suggesting that he could do better by bringing into play a Brazilian coach instead.

For instance, Legendary Romario had showed his displeasure not quite long saying that he believes the national team's coach should be a Brazilian stressing out the point that there's a connection between the coach and players because of their cultural and language characteristics. Well, although there are a few other countries who would bring crop of foreign managers to manage their national team, but Brazil is skillful and capable enough produce their national coach themselves.

Well, for now, there are no official comments on that from the team, but Ancelotti is supposed to take over from the interim coach, Diniz in 2024 Copa America Cup, which Romario is insisting that Diniz remains.

It won't be a bad idea if Xabi Alonso takes over from Ancelotti as a former player and he's also doing well right now with Bayer Leverkusen.

I agree more with you that maybe even though Chelsea has Nkuku, this player is not the striker that Pochettino hopes for, whereas Chelsea currently needs a great striker like Victor Osimhen and in terms of whether Chelsea will succeed or not in bringing in this player, it seems we can't be sure because This could happen even though there are different rumors, but these rumors usually don't necessarily come true, while Chelsea's finances are very good, it's very easy to increase Osimhen's salary.
Furthermore, the goalkeeper is actually quite good, it's just that Chelsea needs really quality defenders because the goalkeeper won't be able to perform extraordinary without the support of Chelsea's defenders and currently it seems like Chelsea must focus on bringing in the best strikers and also quality players for the line defense.

Several Madrid players who have now extended their contracts such as Eder Militao (2028), Valverde (2028), Camavinga (2028), Rodrygo (2028) and Vinicius (2027) will make them pillars of Madrid for a long time. With the release of high prices, it indicates that Madrid does not want to lose these players easily. So who else do you think deserves to extend his contract with Madrid? and if it's not wrong Bellingham since he was brought in, his contract has been long until 2029. That means Madrid is emphasizing the list of players above to create a new golden period.

I know there are 2 more things we want with, first a pure striker and a new coach to replace Ancelotti.

Well, Ancelotti has an agreement that he will go to coach the Brazilian national team after leaving Real Madrid and the Brazilian president also hopes that Ancelotti can make big achievements at the 2026 World Cup.
Currently there are lots of rumors about Xabi Alonso who will replace Ancelotti and this news is really the news that Real Madrid fans are hoping for because in Xabi Alonso hands they hope that Real Madrid will return to being team that can dominate the entire league.

So, that was the momentum that really benefited Zidane when he became Real Madrid coach and with the presence of several star players, Real Madrid had the highest caste as very strong team and could defeat anyone who faced them.
But now Real Madrid also has fairly good composition of players whose age is still considered productive, which can make it easier for Xabi Alonso to develop and develop the same strength.
Don't we really want to see this happen where Real Madrid creates feelings of anxiety towards other teams who will fight for the title from La Liga or UCL.

Some members have been talking about modric to leave from real madrid next year and this seems come true. Modric agent has been confirming that if his client has received offers from saudi clubs. Modric is possible to leaving from real madrid to join in the saudi pro league club.
My guess for the teams that have been sending an offer toward him must be (al hilal, nassr or ahli). Im not putting ittihad it caused by the club is still trying to sort out the internal problem that is greatly affecting the club.

very happy to head that modric is starting to open himself for saudi pro league club. I think that modric is aware if he is older now. he can go there as the best place to retire instead of staying much longer in the club.
Modric has been helping madrid a lot since the last decade. I hope he will be going so well in saudi pro league. Glad to see saudi pro league was willing to sign him as a new player.

Correct Klopp mostly put him in right back position, but few times he play as right midfielder or central midfielder, I see he's better playing in midfield position. He has a good ball control, accurate pass and find a space, his defense isn't that good.

If he can't play as right midfielder, he could play as defensive midfielder just like how Pep built John Stones.

Xavi is a coach who played for years in Barcelona himself and that's why it's pretty much easy for him to understand the players which makes it easy to get connected with the younger players.
He usually tries to hire young players who can play for Barcelona in years because he knows in Barcelona they have older players like Lewandoski who can't play for his team in the next years because of his age.

What do you mean they have Nkuku? Is Nkuku a natural central forward? Because he scorer highest goals in Bundesliga League means he'll do same for Chelsea?
For me he's a complete winger of attacking midfielder playing right behind the striker. ( Get the info!! Nkuku not a natural striker )
Victor has that fear factor strength and mentality, when you watch him play do you not get that vibes of Didier Drogba?

Yeah Nicholas Jackson has scored four to six goals for Chelsea but what are the chances he's the right man to lead that attack? I think Borja also should be sold. Meanwhile, Nicholas Jackson should be given time but I'm sure Chelsea needs Victor Oshime.

The goalkeeper is not bad not even doing badly, at least you have a calculative and strong defenses and defensive midfielder to shield him up.

the problem is only Barcelona finances. I am sure that Xavi actually really wants Felix to stay permanently at Barcelona because this coach is very confident that Falix talent and potential are very suitable to be maintained at Barcelona, while this player is really very comfortable in his career at Barcelona, as evidenced by his efforts to score every match even though some matches have decreased but for me that is very normal and all Barcelona fans and management want Felix to stay at Barcelona but are not sure whether Barcelona finances can afford to make Felix permanent.
there are several alternative possibilities if you have to keep these players Xavi will have to release several players to sell to get money to pay Felix contract.

Yeah Ramsdale is unsettled at Arsenal right now but that doesn't means Chelsea will sign him. Chelsea already had recently signed Robert Sanchez and signing another good and experienced player will add another player at bench. It will be same situation for Ramsdale again. Even if there is rumour, I don't think it will materialize in the end. I feel Sanchez is a very strong keeper and doing a great job. It is their defence which is letting them down.

Actually you're wrong, most of people who received Ballon d'Or are strikers and the highest goal is sexier than the highest assist.

A good midfielder do receive some attention especially manager who want to recruit a good player. But when it comes to statistic, striker is better than any other positions.

Yes, it's exactly what I said before, money will be a factor that everyone will think twice about turning down. Especially in this case is a club, they will think if they get a large amount of money, they will be able to buy new players cheaper with similar quality. Thus they will benefit from the sale.
Yes I like when you say Harry Kane who also has a very important role at Tottenham. And we all know that it was money that eventually made Tottenham decide to sell him to Bayern Munich.


I don't agree that a player has to score a lot of goals to get more attention, in this case a contract. I personally don't think a player has to score goals, but contributing greatly to the team's play is also very good. I don't deny that they need to score goals to win games, but for me personally, I don't care who scores, because it's a team game, not an individual game.
If our standard is to look at players by how many goals they score, then we will never see the genius midfielders that we have now.

Joao Felix is a player tipped to be one of the best strikers in the world. His days in Benfica were glorious but his performance reduced drastically when he moved to Atletico Madrid for a record fee.  He never adapted to the club's style of play and fell off with the coach Diego Simeone which made him move to Chelsea on loan. He has so many opportunities to make an impact on the team but he also failed to live up to expectations.

Xavi gave him the lifeline to rejuvenate his career in Barca and he was performing well as he scored three goals and gave three assists in fourteen games. Joao's main problem is inconsistency in his performance but it all depends on Xavi and the management of Barcelona to decide if he will be signed on a permanent deal. But Atletico Madrid will not let him go for free because they are known for making money from player transfers.

Going back to Atletico is not an option for the Portugal players because it is glary that he is not in Coach Diego's plans. He indicated that the player has failed to blend with the team and has also refused to abide by the tactical plans of the coaching crew. He even alleged that Atletico's fans don't like Joao Felix and he would be pleased if he secured a permanent deal with Barcelona.

There have been rumors circulating that Chelsea are monitoring Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale, but it seems that this is just a rumor, although often a player's move starts with a previous rumor, finally confirmation is obtained by seeing the player sign a contract with the rumored club. Robert Sánchez at Chelsea was indeed a mistake and maybe next season or in the nearest transfer window Chelsea will try to correct this mistake by buying a more reliable goalkeeper with minimal blunders.

Usually clubs are very enthusiastic about making a player's status permanent, but this time the opposite happened, the problem is how much money does Barcelona have to spend to make Joao Felix permanent at Barcelona? only value that matches Barcelona's abilities will make this happen, and the one who suffers the most is Joao Felix whose fate will again become uncertain if he has to return to Atletico Madrid, unless he can show extraordinary things at Barcelona so that there are elite clubs who are interested in buying him from Atletico if Barcelona can't afford him.

I feel it's not a problem of adapting to the English Premier League and if I'm not mistaken, Joao Felix actually wants to stay at Chelsea and he feels comfortable there, but Chelsea's decision not to extend his loan period is an obstacle for him. Moreover, he also didn't want to return to Atletico which made things even more complicated, but fortunately a team like Barcelona wanted to come with a loan offer so he didn't have to think long about accepting the offer.

Now Joao Felix has expressed his interest in staying longer in his dream team and is now just waiting for Barcelona to decide whether they are able to make the transfer permanent or not. It would be another misfortune for Joao Felix if he doesn't get a permanent deal and has to return to Atletico.

This news was appears because Osimhen podcast with the former of Chelsea player Jhon Obi Mikel that Osimhen said if he want to moved to Premier League then he has 2 clubs to chosed and it was Manchester United or Chelsea but currently Chelsea has plenty of forward players at the team and besides Nkunku Chelsea has Jackson who recently can able to find his shape again and return to scores with Chelsea besides that Osimhen price will be so expensive and i don't think buy Osimhen could be a good transfer for Chelsea

Besides Osimhen other rumour is Pochettino want Club Brugge player Antonio Nusa why he want this player although Chelsea has Noni Madueke as a right winger but Pochettino hasn't satisfied to Madueke performance so that's why Pochettino want new player on that position and at Club Brugge Antonio Nusa has being an important player even with his current age he was into Norway senior squad with Haaland and Odegaard and no wonder if Pochettino showing his interest to him and Club Brugge want 30 millions for him and Chelsea most likely will pay according to his price
