This is why I do not like Barcelona. The club is always doing things that make no sense for us to see that. Barcelona believes that their players are the best in the world, which is completely incorrect and putting non sense price is one of non sense decision from this club. It doesn't even make sense that the blaugrana has set a price of 100 million for Araujo, which is performing so average. This also makes it difficult for the club to cash in on him. It means the result from unable in selling the players were affecting the club's financial.

I meant Barcelona can make the most money by selling him, but who wants to buy him at such a high price? Barcelona will not put their ego first when deciding on a price for their players. It's best if they use their common sense.

Araujo has average performance and he is nothing special. IDK what's the reason for barcelona to priced him 100 millions. This is very weird to hear that. There will be no club that can afford him if barcelona is now willing to reduce his price.
This is gonna be very hard for barcelona to get a buyer for him. I meant the fact that if club has been trying so hard in leaving from the financial trouble but it's not going through this fuckin way.

Laporta sometimes needs to use his sense before try to priced his player.

Bayern Munich is changing its target now because of Ralf Rangnick's answer to them. He decided to refuse the offer as he was happy with his job at Austrian national team.

They have been rejected by Nagelsmann, Rangnick and Xabi Alonso so far. They have no choice other than looking for other available good managers. De Zerbi has seemed like a good manager but it is hard to predict how successful he would be with a top class team. Conte is still available, they can try their luck with him. He will probably be on the radar of many big teams this summer. I don't know whether he would like to work in Germany but making an attempt wouldn't be bad. 

It's true, Darwin Nunez hasn't contributed much to Liverpool, so I agree with you that he will most likely be a player that Liverpool will sell. For the first season, maybe I would have thought he needed adaptation when he played not according to expectations, but this is his second season and in his performance he has not provided good development in Liverpool's front line. At such a high price and with his appearance, in my opinion it is one of the transfers that is not worth it.

Now rumors are circulating that Barcelona are interested in bringing in Darwin Nunez. Honestly, I don't think in terms of what they are assessing this player, because in terms of his performance with Liverpool he didn't play according to expectations. especially with the high costs that Barcelona will certainly incur, will they hesitate to do it? they must be able to consider everything as best as possible before they make a decision.

I don't know for sure the reason but what is clear is that this is a decision that must be taken before determining the future of these two Real Madrid veterans. Compared to Modric, I think it would be better for Kroos to stay for another season considering that he is more calm in controlling the midfield and also as a tempo maker for attacks.

Meanwhile, Modric, in my opinion, although his role is often very crucial in the 70 minutes and above, sometimes what is changed cannot just happen and it is also clear that Ancelotti has rarely used his services this season. Another bad thing about Modric is that sometimes he wants decent playing minutes, which means other young players lack experience if that happens.

It is only natural that Bayern Munich, as a big and very popular Bundesliga team, will continue to be linked with various new coaches and this is all due to the deadlock that Munich is currently lamenting about its bad luck this season and in fact, I really think of the De Zerbi rumors as just something. rumors that won't come true.
Bayern Munich will never make decisions quickly for the future of its team and one of them is recruiting a new coach, of course they will choose to bring in an experienced coach with excellent intelligence who is suitable for Munich.
even though Tuchel initially gave Munich confidence to be able to get to a higher level because from experience, Tuchel really was one of the coaches who had a big chance of bringing Bayern Munich to a prestigious title, but everything failed.

I'm just wondering why Bayern Munich isn't trying to bring in Mourinho, who is currently easier to give an offer to because currently Mourinho is not a coach at another team and most likely if Mourinho is given an offer to become coach of Bayern Munich it will definitely be considered because Mourinho has never been before, become a Bundesliga coach and this might be a challenge for Mourinho.

Actually, seeing from the contribution given by Nunez, it is quite possible for him to be one of the players on the sales list next season because seeing from the achievements he has made at Liverpool over the past 2 seasons I think there is nothing special and even tends to be bad in Liverpool's attack line.

60 matches in 2 seasons he did but he only scored 20 goals and in my opinion it is not too good for the size of a striker whose price is more than 100 million so in this case it is quite natural that he is one of the players on the sell list.

But looking at some considerations about the Barcelona and Nunez rumours I think this becomes a little more funny because we know the price of Nunez is not cheap and with what Barcelona are buying this player now? Moreover, seeing the statement from Klopp it seems that this rumour is only exaggerated to increase reader traffic by some media.

He has spent his entire career with Real Sociedad and he has even been able to break into the main squad since he was promoted from Real Sociedad B, Xavi has long monitored the development and journey of Zubimendi career at Real Sociedad, and as you said Unfortunately zubimendi continues to choose to stay at Real Sociedad, as a young player who has talent and the ability to regulate the tempo of the game as a central midfielder. Of course, Barcelona is not the only one who is interested in bringing Zubimendi from real Sociedad next summer, Asenal and Bayern Munich are also interested strong to get Zubimendi from Real Sociedad so it seems difficult for Barcelona to get Zubimendi.

It is reported that zubimendi currently prefers to stay at Real Sociedad next season, so of course many clubs are disappointed with his decision, but I think maybe in 1 or 2 more seasons Real Sociedad will let him go to another team and of course as a professional player, Zubimendi wants to be able to getting a trophy that he may never get at Real Sociedad in the future, so I think maybe sooner or later he will have the opportunity to move to other team that is bigger and sure to win trophies in his career.

I think that most of this coaches being link to the managerial position at Bayern Munich are just mere speculations, especially in this closing stage of the season, and since it's very obvious that Bayern Munich are very desperate in their search for a new manager, everyone, including managers that is not up to Bayern Munich standard will also be linked with the club, so am not that surprised that zerbi is being Link with the vacant managerial position at Bayern Munich.

And as for Thomas tuchel, I think it's best that he is leaving on mutual consent because his coaching pattern is not that suited to this Bayern Munich side, not that he is a bad coach, No, he is not, but his system is not just suited to this Bayern Munich side.

I don't even know what' bayern's officials think this time. They have been heavily linked to the ralf ragnick but it seems like that bayern is changing its target again. I can't really understand what's the main target owned by this club. I mean that if bayern is always changing its target.

This time the club is now targeting de zerbi as a new appointment to replace tuchel that will leave from UCL at the end of season.

Do you guys agree to see zerbi as a new appointment for bayern? Brighton is having poor season this time. I think that if's a gamble by bayern to sign him as a new coach. Why doesn't bayern keep tuchel instead of replace him?

I prefer bayern munich to keep tuchel for another season.

If say that Darwin Nunez has performed badly this season, it actually not quite right because Nunez performance this season can be seen to be much better than last season, after all, he is young player who has quite lot of potential.
I think what makes Nunez bad is related to Liverpool performance which failed to compete for the Premier League and Europa League titles this season, but blaming everything on Nunez is also very inappropriate.
I think keeping Nunez for at least one season can still be done, as you said, Liverpool will have new coach and with new coach it is possible for Nunez to improve in the next season.
I sure that with the right coaching method, Nunez can still be reliable goal machine.

Rumors circulating are true that Barcelona is really linked with Darwin Nunez and if you look at the situation it is clear that Barcelona is targeting Nunez to be able to have stronger front line performance.
Honestly, it would be shame if Liverpool had to sell player like Nunez at this time.

but I think otherwise, Juventus is still having financial problems so they have to let some players be free agents. If we look at the statistics on transfermarkt, Rabiot market value has increased since last season from 30 Million to 40 Million well, Juventus should be able to get 10-20 million from releasing this player, that's a fair price for a player 29 year old . Juventus' situation is still the same as last season regarding finances so I suspect they won't make any changes except getting free players or through loans. We still remember last season when Juventus wanted to bring in Lukaku, they were in financial problem until finally an agreement was not reached. I estimate that this season the teams from Serie A will not be very active in bringing in new players except for cheap and free players.

PSG doesn't want him to stay. That's why the club has decided to part ways with him soon. He never get chance and is there a point for him to stay? i would prefer him to go to the other league and he can have a better career there. In fact, PSG has a good goal keeper. He is not keen to always sit on the bench and does nothing.
The better for him to leave from there and then he can get a good club to play. Playing in no european club is not that bad for navas but i think if he reduce his salary and there will be a lot of clubs try to sign him.

Neves's career is end on PSG. He shall find the best replacement for his current club. It will not be so good for him just to stay in the club then does nothing.
Im hoping he will able to get a new club as soon as possible. He is a good goal keeper but enrique was rarely giving him chance to play.

If more and more great players leave PSG then this will be the downfall of PSG, their strength will be greatly reduced, Mbappe as an attacking player at PSG will lose their attack power which may not be very strong anymore, but if the Goalkeeper from PSG also leaves So this is a nightmare. It is certain that PSG's strength will be greatly weakened. I hope Keylor Navas can consider this carefully so that he doesn't make the wrong decision.
 
I mean he is quite old at 37 years old. It would be best to continue his journey at PSG until he is old and retire to enjoy his old age with his family. Instead of having to join another team and having to work from the bottom again, it will require a lot of extra energy to show your skills again.

Juventus seem really having plan to rebuild their squad. Letting players go on free agent status is uncommon for Juventus, but the idea of refreshing squad has become an important issue since they have ambition to stay competing at the highest level of football. We will see Juventus making big signings this summer to replace those players.

The biggest issue now is about their head coach. It's whether or not Juventus keep Allegri as their their manager. I think it's better for Juventus to have a new head coach for their rebuilding plan, because it's important to have new idea to compete in Serie A that is getting tougher season after season. Inter Milan and AC Milan have become stronger teams lately, the title race next season will be tougher.

Adrien Rabiot in my own opinion have gone past his prime as a world class midfielder which is why I think he'll find it very difficult to get offers from the top clubs in Europe when his contract with Juventus finishes in the summer. The France international haven't been convincing enough with his recent performances that should interest other top teams in Europe to come rushing for his services when he finally leaves his current club in the summer. But I think if he can be lucky enough to get into a team that has manager with a track record of helping players rediscover their best form, he's probably gonna be delivering great performances again.
On the other hand, Alex Sandro have been a great member of the Juventus team and have helped the club win numerous trophies in the past years but I think age is no longer on his side so he's very likely to join a league that's less energy demanding than the major leagues in Europe.

What league do you mean a farmer league? Ligue 1? 
Sure, that's why Mbappe has decided to leave PSG after his contract is over this year.

It is not special for you, it is special for Mbappe. You never win a single trophy that's make you easy to say the trophies are meaningless or not special.
Dude, it is a false accusation that you say PSG owns the league. Even if PSG looks very superior now, there is no guarantee PSG will always be as strong as now. You may see that Bayern Munich has no serious competitor in Bundesliga for many years, but now Leverkusen is the winner of Bundesliga. This also can happen with PSG in the future.

PSG also joins UCL, dude. 
If PSG still can't win UCL title, they may have no luck in UCL. Sometimes it needs a little luck besides a strong squad.
You don't need to remind me how many time PSG wins the UCL. PSG never wins UCL title, I know it well. I have been a long time to be a fan of football, I've watched football since 1990

Anyway, it is easy to know the achievement of PSG: https://www.transfermarkt.com/paris-saint-germain/erfolge/verein/583

It is up to you if you don't appreciate it. But most people must appreciate it because it is not easy to win trophies. Even it is only domestic trophies, it needs a hard effort in the whole season. I don't know if you are a football fan or not, but it seems you don't understand how a club wins a trophy. It is not an easy matter, a club makes a lot of efforts to build their winning squad.

Rabiot will probably leave Juventus for free at the end of the season.
Alex Sandro, same.

Both players will be free agents and they can signs for free.

Rabiot the past year was very close to sign for Manchester, this year will be probably a united player.

But that is not important now because PSG has chosen that they want the final result even until the contract expires for Mbappe so that inevitably for now they must be prepared to lose Mbappe and not get too good financially because currently Mbappe is at the end of a contract that makes money slip away even though the clause given by Madrid a few seasons ago was very large but PSG bravely rejected it.

Mbappe leaving is likely certain because seeing from the current news he has certainly left and will say goodbye to PSG on the other hand, currently PSG also has no way to hold Mbappe because the big exclusive contract in the end is only used for the benefit of Mbappe so that when it is obtained, why does he stay at PSG who have never won any prestigious titles to date apart from trophies in domestic competitions.

Yep. I heard the news from Fabrizio Romano that the future of Kroos and Modric will be decided very soon. Both players are expected to meet with Real Madrid president before the final UCL. The decision of the future of both players will be made soo. So we must be patient to wait for the decision of Real Madrid management.

IMO, Real Madrid will keep one of those players because they need to balance the squad with an experienced player. Since Modric is 38 years already, I think Real Madrid won't extend the contract of Modric but they will offer Modric for a new job to be a part of the coaching staff. I heard this news few weeks ago that Ancelotti may offer Modric for the job. Meanwhile for Toni Kroos, he is still 34 years old and looks ready to play for 1-3 years more for Real Madrid. Because of this reason, I also believe Real Madrid will keep him in Real Madrid squad for the next season.

Let's see if our guess is true!!
As a Real Madrid fan, I really hope it will be true.

Xavi once again tried to hire Martín Zubimendi but again he failed. We know Martín Zubimendi is one of the favorite players of Xavi and he wants to have Martín Zubimendi in his team to get improved for the next season. But it seems Martín Zubimendi joining Barcelona is impossible with the current situation they have.
Martín Zubimendi is palying for Real Sociedad and Real Sociedad know he is an important palyer for them. That's why they won't let this player go. Real Sociedad asks for 60 million euros for this player which is too much considering the current financial situation of Barcelona.
