according to the team Kvara said yes to PSG.
Do you mean Khvicha Kvaratskhelia?
The latest news I read, Napoli will reject the offer from PSG.
Kvaratskhelia is still an important part of Napoli team, Napoli mustn't agree to let him moving to PSG.
Moreover, Napoli will hire Conte, Conte must expect to have a big squad. It will be a big lose if Kvaratskhelia moves to PSG.



Napoli will ignore PSG offer

The price would be close to 100 million euros which will be collected by Napoli for the probable purchases of Lukaku and Chiesa.
These would be the pieces requested by Antonio Conte for signing the contract with the Neapolitans.
Napoli has set a minimum price of Kvaratskhelia, they want €130m for the transfer fees. I think it is quite expensive because the current market value of this player is around €85m. Sure, with €130m, it will be easy to buy Lukaku and Chiesa. But I doubt Conte will agree if he really becomes the coach of Napoli. He must force Kvaratskhelia to stay.

https://www.transfermarkt.com/khvicha-kvaratskhelia/profil/spieler/502670

You omitted to specify whether Kvarat was interested in leaving Napoli. Kvarat can announce his wish to leave Napoli if he wanted but i think that the better for him to join in the PSG, and I believe this will force napoli to allow him to leave the club. This is Kvarat's chance to join PSG because he will play frequently in the UCL and improve his performance as a player. Playing in UCL is a very important thing these days.

There is no assurance that Napoli will return to its peak level soon. Kvarat is not pleased with Napoli's decision to sign Conte as a new appointment.

It is preferable for him to depart Naples. I'm sure Conte won't be too excited to use him as a winger. I'm not sure about Osimhen's future with the squad. Conte may also bring Lukaku to Napoli.


Quote
Now Sports Zone in France report that ‘Kvaradona’ wants to leave Napoli this summer also because he is not remotely excited at the idea of Conte taking over next season.

If used wide in a 3-5-2 formation, then he would be further away from the goal and even more frustrated.

Paris Saint-Germain are seeking a player to fire up the crowd after losing Kylian Mbappé and Kvaratskhelia would fit the bill.

https://football-italia.net/kvaratskhelia-pushing-to-leave-napoli-for-psg/

I hope kvarat won't be stupid enough in missing this opportunity. Kvarat needs to improve his career. he shall not be stuck on the napoli. The competition in serie is just getting even stricter than before. Im still doubting that napoli's capability to get into the top positions again next season.

How crazy is that? 5 hours ago Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Mourinho has signed a contract with Fenerbahce until 2026.
I didn't find this news that surprising, in fact I was already talking about this hypothesis here in this thread when no one still believed in this hiring.
That news surprised many people and I found it too in the web. Personally I was waiting for him to move back to his country or join another club in top 5 leagues or maybe in Eredivisie or Belgium league. That move to Turkiye was quite unexpected. I think he is trying to get the 20th Turkish league title for Fenerbahce and maybe an European title?
Fenerbahce is reported also to seek Benzema from Al-Ittihad which might be a good option for the club to strengthen the attack line.
Fenerbahce is one of the strong teams from Turkey and rumors about an offer being made to Mourinho have also been circulating for some time, now everything is clear and Fenerbahce is getting great coach as Aziz Yildrim wants.
Now everyone has seen that Aziz Yildrim is indeed doing his best for Fenerbahce and it is very likely that in the future Fenerbahce will be able to become strong team not only for the Turkish League but also several European competitions, they have potential and must be able to develop well.
Next season Galatasaray will face Fenerbahce with different form, the strategy and playing style under Mourinho leadership will definitely be much more competitive considering he is great coach who has experience in big European team.

Regarding Fenerbahce who will try to bring in Benzema, I don't really follow developments because this is not an easy matter because Fenerbahce has to spend large amount of money if they want to have Benzema.
But if it really happens then it will have positive impact on Fenerbahce's development in having significantly improved performance for the future.

How crazy is that? 5 hours ago Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Mourinho has signed a contract with Fenerbahce until 2026.
José Mourinho did better in Europe and made incredible records, he is genius and was free agent all through this season because he completely failed to secure a concrete contract and AS Roma made other elite team believes he's not capable. However his transfer sealed at the Turkey side and I hope he does better with his new club, Fenerbahçe. We all know the Turkish league to be unpredictable and matches states doesn't really worked effectively, there we have the higher part of Medicare clubs that's always challenging for the elite side.
It didn't take long for Jose Mourinho to look for a new club after being fired by Roma a few months ago, now he is ready to start a new coaching adventure at top Turkish club Fenerbahce. Mourinho will sign a two-year contract with Fenerbahce until 2026, Mourinho's decision to join Fenerbahce is very good for continuing his coaching career. He can still lead Fenerbahce in the Champions League and try to conquer the Turkish League like he did with Chelsea when conquering the EPL. Previously he was also reported to be a target for a Saudi Arabian club, but he preferred to go to the Turkish League to help Fenerbahce who failed to compete with Galatasaray this season.

We have heard a lot of rumors about Jose Mourinho and where he will go and many clubs have been linked with him including Fenerbahce, a club from the Turkish League, what makes people quite surprised about Jose Mourinho's decision? it would be surprising if Jose Mourinho went to Saudi Arabia because no European club was trying to recruit him and fortunately Fenerbahce made an offer to him unfortunately clubs from the top 5 leagues were no longer interested in Jose Mourinho because we already know what problems happened to Jose Mourinho while coaching Therefore, we have to accept that wherever he goes, at least he will still be in the European league and is not interested in coaching other leagues than Europe.

That is very good, it means that Fenerbahce wants to improve its performance in Europe, not only in the Turkish league, it is also still taking part in the Champions League tournament next season. If it recruits Karim Benzema from Al Ittihad, it means that it must have the courage to pay compensation from Saudi Arabia and Karim Benzema's price is also very expensive. Fenerbahce have to dig deep into their pockets, after all, Karim Benzema doesn't seem to have good chemistry at Al Ittihad and he also wants to compete again in Europe.

In football, any coach or player can choose to sign a contract with any club they want to even if it is a mediocre club because even though they may not be visible enough outside the league but they will be more valued in those mediocre leagues just like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo choose to play for mediocre clubs but for a team like Fenerbahce i think the team is doing pretty alright so Mourinho signing a contract with the club as their new manager is a good one because a lot of football analysts were making speculation that he will be hired by one of the bigger teams in Europe.
Jose Mourinho is a professional coach that have won a lot of trophies both domestic and European titles for different clubs and he is very tactical and intelligent in his coaching skills so there will be no doubt that he can achieve something for the club he moved to before his contract terminates. Fenerbahce is a good team with some talented players so Mourinho will find it easy to cooperate with the players and the club's management so we will be seeing him explore in the Turkish league soon.

I was also quite surprised by this. I don't know whether I should be disappointed or not by this. Maybe I also hope that Mourinho can remain a coach at clubs in bigger leagues. But actually being a coach at Fenerbahce is also quite good. Because Fenerbahce also qualified and got Champions League tickets for the next season. So maybe Mourinho really wants that. and hope to make a miracle there. And I hope Mourinho can produce good results there.

But I'm not sure if they bring in Benzema it will make them better. I don't underestimate Benzema. but I know that Benzema currently suffers from frequent injuries. And the injury recurs very often. After I researched it, Benzema even played very rarely at Al-ittihad because of his condition. And I'm pretty sure clubs from the Arab League will not let go of Benzema, who is also always a source of attention there. because Al-ittihad also spent a lot of money to bring in Benzema. Even though Benzema hasn't contributed much this season, next season when his condition improves he will definitely contribute a lot again.

How crazy is that? 5 hours ago Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Mourinho has signed a contract with Fenerbahce until 2026. I would never have believed that Mourinho would move to the turkish league when so many top clubs in Europe are looking for a coach! The coming season will be very exciting again. I give Mourinho a very good chance of winning the league title and he will certainly make it far in Europe too. The Turkish league is getting better and better every year.

Jose Mourinho is a good coach and have made good achievements in his coaching career so far so if he chooses to move away from top clubs in Europe to coach a Turkish team is not a bad idea or a bad contract in my own opinion however, Fenerbahce is also one of the competitive side in the Turkish league so Jose Mourinho is just trying to Fantasize football over there and since it's just a two year deal, he can still decide to come back to Europe after the expiry of his contract in 2026.
It's interesting to see that the big teams in Europe aren't interested in hiring him as their new coach and im still questioning myself regarding this. This is what makes me skeptical about this considering the fact It appears that the Turkish squad was the only one submitting him an offer despite so many big clubs are looking for a new coach. At the very least, Fenerbahce can participate in the UCL if Mourinho is able to make it happen. This is better than goes to the saudi.
It's not awful compared to the Saudi Pro League club, where he is also unfamiliar with coaching. You may go into previous stories to see if Mourinho has ever offered himself to major clubs such as Chelsea.

The fundamental issue is that big clubs nowadays are more interested in hiring mediocre coaches than professional coaches with a track record in football. The current trend appears to be shifting rapidly. I'm also curious in the motivations behind the large teams' decisions to hire amateur coaches, like as Bayern with Kompany and Chelsea with Maresca. Something is wrong with the owners of these major teams these days. They were not enhancing the quality of the clubs. They did the reverse, demolishing the club.

I didn't find this news that surprising, in fact I was already talking about this hypothesis here in this thread when no one still believed in this hiring.

Fehnerbace have not been Turkish champions since 2014, but were second in the last edition of the championship and lost only one game. So, the team that Mourinho will take on is already "a little ready", so... for a coach who has already led European giants such as Chelsea, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Porto and Inter Milan, this is probably his first job in Turkey it won't be that complicated to achieve good results.

The thing is it will come as a huge surprise for some football fans as they think Mourinho will get any of the top jobs in clubs who play in the European top 5 leagues but it wasn’t. We wouldn’t deny the fact that the Turkish league is a bit lower than what people think Mourinho will get. I see Mourinho as an adventurer looking to wander around different European countries as to win and this could be one of the reasons why he choose Fehneberche over some clubs so that he could come to the league and fulfill his dream of winning trophies everywhere.

Moreover it was looking like the top European clubs weren’t going to offer him any more job reasons been that most clubs now are looking for very long term contracts and someone that can stay for a that long. Mourinho hasn’t done past three years in the past few years in a club and that is what most vacant clubs do not want at the moment.

Overall it is a good move for the club and Mourinho, I think he will definitely do great there considering the players the club as now and how competitive they were this season

Mourinho was a campaign promise from Aziz Yildirim, former president of Fenerbahçe from 1998 to 2018 and candidate for the club's presidency in the election scheduled for this Saturday. Current president Ali Koç, who is running for re-election, reached the agreement before the election. About 10 days ago, Yildirim, who was previously president of Fenerbahçe, confirmed his candidacy and pointed out that he had already negotiated directly with the former commander of Real Madrid and Manchester United about this signing.

Fehnerbace have not been Turkish champions since 2014, but were second in the last edition of the championship and lost only one game. So, the team that Mourinho will take on is already "a little ready", so... for a coach who has already led European giants such as Chelsea, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Porto and Inter Milan, this is probably his first job in Turkey it won't be that complicated to achieve good results.

We should consider how to get better with time, but that doesn't mean that we are going to end up with a much better situation. In the end, we should consider how to get better, and that means we are going to be able to afford a lot better results for sure. Arsenal just needs to be patient.
Let's understand the concept of the game, Pep Guardiola will always prove himself to be the very best in the whole game. He's genius and have been the pillars holding Manchester City. The transfer window, another season to watch Gunners make crucial signings for these players, atleast they've strong odds of winning the EPL next season. Patient for how long? Mikel Arteta needs to put in more pressure because winning the English Premier League shouldn't be a problem although facing Manchester City for the EPL means challenge on their path.

When I first saw the report that Jose Mourinho have been signed by Turkish Super Lig club Fenerbahce to become their new manager, I was extremely surprised and couldn't believe my eyes because I personally think that the Turkish league is too small for a big manager like Jose Mourinho to manage a team. I was expecting Jose Mourinho to get another coaching job in any of the top clubs in Europe's top five leagues.
Fenerbahce in the last two seasons have come very close to winning the Turkish Super Lig but ended up as runners up to Galatasaray and I think it's the reason why the club management decided to get a very experienced manager like Jose Mourinho who'll help the club become more competitive than they are at the moment or better still help the club win the league title in the nearest future. Mourinho is undoubtedly one of the most experienced managers amongst the current football managers and I think he'll definitely succeed at Fenerbahce

Actually seeing every line of Arsenal players at this time is very good because if we reflect in terms of statistics where their productivity this season is still very good and the fact that they are a club that only has the least number of conceding ratios in the EPL already shows that they are still quite solid in every line. it's just that there are still some things they need to improve at this time.

I think even if in the end they will stay with the same players next season it will still be good enough but of course to maintain existence then there may be some changes especially for the current midfield.

Their midfield is still very good but of course there are some things that are lacking including the supply of the ball which is a bit lacking because they don't have a play maker who has advantages in duels because some of Arsenal's midfielders like Odegaard and Rice rely more on passing and their speed in accelerating so they need at least one fighting midfielder who can attack and defend according to the needs of the match.

Clearly, Arsenal has come very close to Man City's level, just like Liverpool did before. And if the current momentum continues, Arsenal winning the Premier League is only a matter of time. They are making progress and they are definitely on the right track. Arsenal is having a fairly quiet summer transfer period up to this point. If they can get two more top-quality players and add them to what the club already has, I think they can win the title next season. In defense, it remains to be seen whether Arteta wants to recruit more recruits or not. But certainly, William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes are still the first choices as central defenders.

I would suggest that To reach that next level, Arsenal need to upgrade their squad. Arsenal needs to understand the importance of upgrading the squad. This is even a must if they don't want another season to become a failure under Man City. A consistent goalscorer is something Arsenal fans especially want the club to strengthen over time.

When Benzema was still playing for Real Madrid, Real Madrid always use 4-3-3 strategy, so all of them should able to play in their own positions.
Actually this strategy can still be done with Mbappe, Vini and Rodrygo up front regardless of who will be the actual center striker Mbappe, Vini and Rodrygo can also still depend on how the needs are.
In several matches this season we have seen Vini or Rodrygo placed at center striker when 4-3-3 and indeed the results although need further adjustment but I think it is still good enough so something like this can still happen.

But if in the end Ancelotti still wants 2 strikers supported by 4 midfielders who do function as defensive midfielders, 2 playmakers and 1 second striker it means that Rodrygo is likely to share or his position will be slightly changed by Ancelotti because we know with Ancelotti's tactics any player he can place in a position that does not even match his style and this season we can see that Camavinga and Tchouameni and even Jude who are new players are placed in positions that are not ideal positions but they still play very well.

I give Mourinho a very good chance of winning the league title and he will certainly make it far in Europe too. The Turkish league is getting better and better every year.
Mou realizes that his prime is up and with the modern style of big European competitions even though he tries to stay competitive but in the end the results remain the same if Mou still does the same scheme where he only focuses on emphasizing a conservative playing style and seems to be left behind from modern football today.

Indeed, he can still train several clubs in big competitions but with his current condition where modernization in football continues to occur, it is difficult for Mou if he still maintains his style of play.

For the Turkish league this can still be interesting because indeed the competition cannot be considered small but indeed the tension is not greater than the top leagues in Europe so this can be a suitable place for Mou to continue his career especially Fenerbache is also not a small club because this season they only lost 1 time even though they had to be willing to be in 2nd place after a long drama in the competition of 2 clubs from the beginning to the end of the season with Galatasaray.

I do not think that Arsenal should look into attacking position, they are great there, I would say that defense would be a lot more important right now, would definitely allow them to get better. In reality, Arsenal do not even "need" anything to win, they are going to be a great team, they need City to be worse. If you ask me Arsenal played a great game and we have seen them do a lot better and I think that is going to end up with something that will be much better.

We should consider how to get better with time, but that doesn't mean that we are going to end up with a much better situation. In the end, we should consider how to get better, and that means we are going to be able to afford a lot better results for sure. Arsenal just needs to be patient.
In my opinion, Arsenal should look for a striker who is more productive in terms of scoring goals because that is one of the shortcomings that must be corrected. Even though their front line is quite good this season, they don't yet have a striker who can make things better like Haaland did with Manchester city. If Arteta relies on Jesus, I think that is not appropriate because Jesus seems to have experienced a decline in his performance this season. So, for this reason, Arsenal must buy a top striker to bring changes to their front line.

It can also be noted that the defense line is an important point for the team to change to become stronger by buying players who are ready to give all their strength to break the opponent's attack. This season Arsenal is showing their best game and I think Arsenal just need to improve in several positions which are considered to be points that need to be improved. To become champions they already have big ambitions and I hope Arteta can make it happen next season.
