Romelu Lukaku's future will be determined mainly by the decision of Chelsea's new coach Enzo Maresca. The coach would have to determine if the Belgian striker fits his plan for Chelsea next season. Maybe he might decide to bring him back to Stamford Bridge as a supporting striker, after all, Chelsea's current strikers Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku are struggling to make a great impact. But if Lukaku is not in Enzo Maresca's plans Chelsea will have no other option than to sell him cheaply or send him on another loan again.

Last season Lukaku maintained his position to remain in Europe and play competitive football. But it seems he has shown no interest in moving to the Saudi Professional League if the offer is good. Chelsea will be happy if he agrees to move to the Gulf League because they might be the only league that can pay much for the 31-year-old player. For now, Lukaku is having a good time in his international appearance scoring a brace against Luxemburg in their 3-0 win.

It's simply that as long as your bid meet 38 millions then lukaku is yours. It's quite clear that about the price asked by chelsea to the other clubs that are willing to sign him as a new player.

Does the announcement come from Maresca? I assumed it was coming from the management of the club caused by maresca has no power to decide which player to be sold and buy by the club. Chelsea's management has been working hard to give him to another team, but the bids are always significantly lower than what Chelsea wanted and it seems to me lukaku may be playing for chelsea next season.

This is why Chelsea wants to sell him as soon as possible. Lukaku's contract is always running, and it's getting closer to the end.

Chelsea will definitely sell Lukaku for less money. The €38 million demanded is certainly negotiable and I think it's pretty certain that he will leave the club, but I doubt that he will leave Europe, as there are now a lot of players who regret this move. Even if they get a lot of money for it, it's usually not worth giving up european-living-standards. Lukaku is still a very strong striker and he played well at Rom. He will definitely find a club that wants him.

The price is too expensive for a player whose quality has declined, I don't think European teams will be interested in signing Lukaku if Chelea is too expensive, for the Saudi Arabian team it is possible because the Saudi Arabian team has quite strong finances.
Now it is reported that Napoli are interested in recruiting Lukaku, but Napoli's offer price is still below what Chelsea wants.
I think that however Chelsea maintains Lukaku's price it will be detrimental to them because they don't want Lukaku's services anymore so whether they want to or not they have to sell him so that he doesn't become a burden on the team.

It is true that the problem of Arda Guller breaking into the main squad is very difficult, but because this is Ancelotti decision and how he will arrange the rotation is still a question that we cannot know the answer to. Therefore let's see what method the coach wants to apply, with so many candidates who are strong enough to compete to break into the main squad, this means that this really demands Arda Guller to work harder. There's no harm in looking at the next season with the challenges that Ancelotti will give Arda. Whether we can do it or not, we can see the progress until next season.

I say no to Greenwood but yes to Maguire and Wan Bissaka to be retained because their contribution has been extraordinary this season when several players like Martinez have been sidelined for quite a long time due to injury. Maguire and Wan Bissaka fought hard to become Manchester United shield by using all their strength to protect the back line. Maguire and Wan Bissaka can be said to be important pillars for Man United, even though the results this season are not very satisfactory, at least they were able to perform optimally to maintain their position.
Greenwood is up for sale and Erik Ten Hag seems to be very careful about the development of Manchester United players who contribute and those who don't.

Grenwood is a great talent who was born from the Manchester United academy, after making his debut with the Manchester United first team a few seasons ago, Greenwood was able to penetrate the Manchester United first squad at that time and even he was often the differentiator and hero of Manchester United to win their matches, but unfortunately Greenwood's glory did not last long at Manchester United and when he was in the prime of his career with Manchester United's rape and violence against women cases have turned his career around 360 degrees at the moment, even though the case has been completed and he was found not guilty, but many football fans still insult him including current Manchester United fans, I think this is what makes Manchester United no longer include Greenwood in their first squad next season even though he have impressed season with Getafe this season.

Greenwood is of course no longer included in Manchester United plans because it will get rejection from their fans, but Manchester United will also not sell Greenwood at a cheap price considering the talent and potential he has, so of course it makes Greenwood in a dilemma at the moment about his future, there are several teams that are now interested in bringing in Greenwood such as Fenerbache and Juventus,  In fact, it is reported that Juventus has reached a verbal agreement with Greenwood, but it seems that the high price set by Manchester United will be a barrier to Greenwood joining Juventus next season.

Here I completely agreed with you about this all with things are clearly indicating he is the good player, and he can develop by time as well, but Manchester United needs to give him some respect with playing time as well because in last season he has done good job at the Getafe, and now he deserved better things here as well if they are not having any intention to give him chance then surely they need to sell him, but current price is too high with few clubs are not able to afford specially Barcelona and Getafe both are interested and having good mind about him but this all depends on Manchester United management what they want to do.

Man United is building a stronger squad next season and they will sell several players who have high salaries for the club's financial stability. Casimero deserves to play in the Saudi Arabian League and I am sure he will get a suitable offer because he still has the potential to play and it is not as competitive as the English league. Maguire still deserves to be maintained and given a chance because he is very loyal to the club and that was proven in the previous season after failing to join another team.

Wan Bissaka, Maguire and Greenwood should be maintained because I see these three players can still develop. It depends on how the coach makes the three of them show their best performance. For the other players I agree if they want to be sold, it is not because of poor performance but to balance the finances to buy some other players that are needed.

Every team are welcome for signing Lukaku in winter transfer window opening if reach Chelsea bid offer 38 million euro,
Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca seems not including Lukaku as his game plan for next season have official announced for selling him to interested club want to sign Lukaku.
Not easy for selling Lukaku to Saudi Arabia club because he want keep stays with European teams in this season, has two years contract left I think Chelsea not opening an option for loaning him and try to sell  Lukaku in winter transfer window if any club serious for signing him or put him in the bench until his contract over.

Mason Greenwood is a target for multiple teams in this summer as it seems.    Manchester United has a price tag like 50 million pounds on him as far as I know. It is two times of his current market value but they just don't want to sell a talent like him for a very cheap price. I think it would be even better to keep him for next season. He can increase his value much more in time.

Some interested teams are said to be Juventus and Fenerbahçe. As Fenerbahçe has Mourinho as their new manager now maybe it might be an advantage for them. But I would understand Greenwood if he would like to play for Juventus in a bigger league at the same time.

Lukaku has a contract until 2026, so it will not end so quickly, although I think that Chelsea would like to sell him, but they paid a lot of money for him and they will not give him to Napoli simply because they are the only club that wants to buy him. And from what Lukaku says, I can also understand that he is not against playing in Saudi Arabia, and Chelsea would be better off selling him to someone who has money. Although if they do not do this before 2026, then Lukaku will become a free agent, this cannot be allowed.

Arda Güler played only 373 minutes this season and scored 6 goals. And he did this in the last 5 or 6 games of the second half of the season. If Carlo Ancelotti had given him a chance earlier, he could have produced better stats.

Real Madrid have the best football players in the world. Arda Güler is in a very strong competition. He may get very few chances again next season. For this reason, I think it would be better for him to go on loan to another team. But if he wants to stay at Real Madrid, I think he can stay. Because his stats from last season give him the chance to stay at Real Madrid for one more year.

The Italian club will strive to spend more money in order to acquire Lukaku from chelsea following the latest announcement said that blues won't let him leave without 38m fees. There is only one team approaching Lukaku at the moment. Napoli is doing something, but it is unclear what the conversations between Chelsea and Napoli are about; however, it is apparent that Chelsea wants 38 million for him. Napoli plans to get him for a very low price, which is impossible to do. I'm glad to see that Chelsea is actually committing to selling Lukaku for a a high price, especially because Lukaku's contract is coming to an end at Chelsea. The blues must sell him as soon as possible. I believe Napoli can submit a bid of at least 30 million euros or more to Chelsea in order to get him. Still, not really sure whether chelsea will accept it even if the bet is closer to the 38m.

Lukaku is a seasoned striker in Serie A. It's ridiculous that no club would be interested in acquiring him from Chelsea. His performance has always been consistent.

The following is a list of 13 Manchester United players who are likely to be sold this summer and it is certain that several of the players on the list are planned to be sold before the transfer market opens. In my opinion, Sancho, Antony, Greenwood are at the top of the list for Manchester United to sell because in terms of performance and previous problems with the club and coach, they have to leave for whatever reason.

On the other hand, it has long been rumored that Casemiro will go to the Saudi league and maybe that could happen next summer. However, I don't agree that Maguire should be sold because he has tried very hard to maintain his place in the main squad and he has no more problems after experiencing a difficult time last season. However, if all these players are successfully sold, Manchester United will receive fresh funds of 228 million euros and that is enough to spend on several new players they are targeting.

Do you agree with this list of players to be sold? And in your opinion, which players should not be sold and are worth keeping with their performance?

Not entirely sure if Arda Guler would want to stop playing for Real Madrid though. I mean we are talking about a situation that would be sensitive because if Fenerbahce doesn't do that well this season, and Arda looks bad, not because he is bad, but because he is not playing at a great team, then his value would crash down quite hard without a doubt.

Whereas, if he stays at Real Madrid, he would firstly be training with the best players in the world, which would make him better, and he would be training with best trainers in every aspect, from fitness to skills to practice, those are all great even before he plays. I also think that he will probably get a little bit more time next season, and break that 1000 minute mark too. I think it's unfair to expect him to go back now, just as he is getting more.

Coaches are probably not the problem of the club falling behind. Paris Saint-Germain problem originates from the club's president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi who's desperate to see PSG lifts the UEFA Champions League trophy but he has failed woefully. PSG are regarded to be mediocre when it comes to winning top titles, they're exclusive from the competitive teams for the UCL trophies and we know how hard Les Parisiens have pushed themselves.

Yea, I agree with your sentiment bro, I don't think xabi Alonso can replicate such unbeaten streak in the English premier league the way he exhibited it in the German bundesliga, because the higher level of competitiveness in the premier league will be too much for any team to sustain.

Though their are some sets of people that might want to argue otherwise that, it can still be done, due to the fact that, this was how people were saying that pep guardiola wouldn't be able to dominate the English premier league the way he has been dominating other leagues with his previous teams , but look at his Manchester city side today, they have actually turned the English premier league into a farmers league, so in essence of all this is that, in as much as it looks impossible at first, but it's actually possible, because in football, anything can happen.

 But I will still stand on my word that xabi Alonso can't do it in the English premier league, because he doesn't have the capacity as pep guardiola to do that in the premier league.

He was rumoured to be joining Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. Talks and rumours about joining Real Madrid calmed immediately they gave Carlo Ancellotti a contract extension as they also calmed the pressure of Carlo Ancellotti joining the Brazilian National Football Federation.

We also made predictions of hm joining Bayern Munich and how he will achieve back to back success for the club but joining Bayern Munich felt like treachery to the former Liverpool, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich midfielder. Anyways, I understand his decisions to stay further with Bayern Leverkusen for next season, knowing quite well that in the future he'll be a coach for either of Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.

Joining Liverpool wouldn't be something I would love, I would love him to win and decorate his profile with enough trophies before deciding to come to the Premier League, so this media can respect him.
He will be a great coach for Liverpool, but he would need players, who he can work with to project his tactics and strategies.

First is that Liverpool has made it official that Arne Slot is the new coach to start the 2024/25 season and Xabi himself has also decided at the end of this season to stay with Leverkusen and try to make history again by competing in the UCL.
This is truth that cannot just change because everything is clear and agreed upon by those concerned, after all, if Xabi really wanted to become Liverpool coach it would have happened some time ago.
At the same time, there is another team that might be much better than Liverpool and could be the next place for him to succeed in European competition, Real Madrid is team that is also interested in bringing Xabi in the future.
If Real Madrid makes an offer at the same time as Liverpool then it is clear that Xabi will still be more interested in joining Real Madrid, they are strong team and they are able to dominate several important European competitions.
This is tough competition for Liverpool if they want Xabi and now we will see Liverpool struggle next season under the leadership of Arne Slot.
