David de Gea is only 32 years old and he can continue to perform well for many more years but he still hasn't signed for any club. Onana, Manchester United's replacement for David de Gea, has been disappointing with his performance. I think the football gods have punished both sides. David de Gea's return to Manchester United could solve many problems. Even if he doesn't transfer to Manchester United, I hope he gets a chance to play for any club and continues to play football.

I think De Gea just needs to be more patient, there should be some offers in the next transfer window. Sure, 32 is not too old, even a goalkeeper can have a career until 40 years old. I also don't hear that De Gea has a serious problem with his fitness, he ever rarely got injured problems. So, there is no strong reason for De Gea to retire very soon. I believe he must regret it if he finally decides to retire in 32 years old. He still has a chance for a better career in the future.

It's possible for him to get an offer easily if he was not always targeting to play in the european competition. There would be also a lot of small clubs might be offering him a job. De gea needs to also decrease his salary if he was still willing to work as a goalkeeper.
I think that the salary has become the main reason why there's no club was trying to recruit him as a new goal keeper right now. His era with manchester united already gone.

De gea needs to find a new job but he must also try to decrease his salary and im sure there will be many teams try to recruit him. It's bad to see a talent like him got no job.
It's too early for him to retire. He can still actively to offer himself to play in the saudi pro league club but the main problem if we are not yet in the transfer season. De gea must be patience caused by we are still a few months away from january transfer season.

What Joao Felix has done so far has also made Barcelona happy and Barcelona's decision to respond well to his desire to play at this club has at least paid off, with the very little money they have spent in the transfer market and with what is currently being shown it is quite profitable for Barcelona, and the next thing is how they patented Joao Felix as a full Barcelona player.

Joao brothers aka Felix and Cancelo looks really different when they were playing in their old teams and when they play for Barcelona, I expect Barcelona will sign both of them permanently. Barcelona need to prepare at least 200 Million Euros because Atletico Madrid tend to ask ridiculous amount.

Obviously, both players are important for Barcelona to keep them for the next season because the performance of these players has been amazing so far.
But still, we can't forget that Barcelona is not in a good financial situation, and if they want to keep both players permanently they need to supply more income.

After a good start to the season the board must have decided upon extending Xavi's contract. I don't know if they rushed things about this. Maybe they would have waited to see how the Champions League will go on. Especially after the group stage I mean because their group is too easy for them.

But I still respect their decision because he has made a really good improvement in the team in general. Most probably we will see that improvement in the Champions League too finally this season.

I don’t think this season’s performance would have mattered a lot to this extension, Barcelona seemed to have had there mind made up after winning the league and were just waiting for the right time to give him the contract. I would say Barcelona were also wise not giving him a very long term contract as this will make deal easier, should Xavi not meeting to their requirements then the would part ways without having to pay much like in long term contracts.

I think it is not only the case of De Gea not Getting a team but the reluctance for him not to want to leave European football is the major thing. The Saudi clubs will have definitely make an approach to him but privately. If he wants to continue playing in European league then he needs to think of reducing his weekly wages because no club can afford the 350K. Also he needs to have up his pattern of playing because most coaches now want to have goalkeepers that are also good on their feet because it reduces risk. This balling playing thing is still a major factor why De Gea is still without club

David de Gea at age 32 is not too old when it comes to keeping, and still has quite a good number of years left in his career if you compare him with the likes of Keeper as Buffon who was still agile in keeping even towards when age is no longer by his side.
IMO, De Gea moving to a new club would be a better option for his future career than thinking of coming back to Man United, he will have more opportunities to lift a trophy should he move to a better club than Man Utd.

Age is the advantage that goalkeepers have over players when it comes to the football career. Apart from coaches who always be in the the business even when they are old, other set of people are goalkeepers. Manchester United is also known for keeping their goalkeeper till old age as in the case of Edwin van der Sar. Counting on this David De Gea is barely 32 years, which means he still has more time to keep in his professional career. He could simply sign for any other club to keep for but I do not support the idea that he should return to Manchester United while they have already signed a new goalkeeper. It will be a very big controversy and pressure to both keepers.

Nobody knows what is actually going on with him. All that we know is that he is training hard without a team and is free on the market. It's a tough spot for him but he has to face that alone. I think he might be able to get himself signed if he is willing to adjust a little with his wages. I don't think retirement rumours are true, he still has lot to give.

It's so sad to see that a keeper of such quality is training alone without any team I think a good goalie like David De Gea should be keeping in one of the big teams but i don't understand why no club ended up signing him even as a free agent, I think De Gea would had been willing to reduce his wages just to secure a spot in a team and continues his goal keeping career because training alone at the moment without any team is not beneficial to his career in any way.

Well I hope the rumours ain't true and that he'll be able to secure a transfer to a good team where he'll resume his goalkeeping duties because retiring at 32 for a goalie won't be beneficial to his career David de Gea still go it in him he's a type of keeper you can trust to rescue the team when your defense is very porous and he'll deliver.

I have heard that Tottenham are preparing to trigger the option to extend Son's contract. It is currently until 2025 but after this it will be 2026. This would be amazing news for Tottenham side because they wouldn't like to lose another significant player in a short time. Kane has newly left the team in the end.

The new manager Ange Postecoglou has been doing a really good job. Tottenham need their squad staying strong at the same time. If they lose more power they would turn into an even much less competitive team. They already have a bad history without titles for ages.

With quite good developments occurring at Tottenham, this could trigger Son Heung-min to accept an extension of his contract until 2026, because playing in a team that is experiencing encouraging development is certainly fun, and Tottenham see him as a player who must be retained considering his contribution in recent seasons at that club quite big, especially with the captain's armband in his hand proving that he is quite an important presence at the club.

And extending the contracts of players or coaches who deliver what the club hopes they should do.
Like Barcelona, has extended the contract of its coach Xavi Hernandez because Barcelona sees good potential in this coach who can make Barcelona even better https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1705270446319444398

After a good start to the season the board must have decided upon extending Xavi's contract. I don't know if they rushed things about this. Maybe they would have waited to see how the Champions League will go on. Especially after the group stage I mean because their group is too easy for them.

But I still respect their decision because he has made a really good improvement in the team in general. Most probably we will see that improvement in the Champions League too finally this season.

I was very surprised to hear this rumor that David De Gea is considering retiring immediately if no top European team wants to recruit him. I think it is quite regrettable if a goalkeeper who can still perform well at European competition level has to retire early at an age that is actually quite a long time ago for a goalkeeper to retire. Moreover, it is strange that with the current situation of several top European teams such as Chelsea or Bayern Munich, which have goalkeepers of inadequate quality, they should be able to get a good goalkeeper like David De Gea for free.

However, other things such as David De Gea's salary per season may be too expensive for them and that could be the reason why they don't want to sign him at such an old age. Do you think David De Gea will retire in the near future or do you have predictions about another team that will sign David De Gea?

It's very sad to hear rumors that De Gea has to hang up his boots when no European club wants to buy this player and it seems to me that De Gea has no confidence in ever getting to a top club again.
But I can understand De Gea state of mind because he has been at Manchester United for almost a decade and this season seems to have been wasted without getting a replacement from an established club and I will not blame Manchester United because a club would prefer to replace more qualified players. And De Gea shouldn't have to pressure to get a top club in Europe if he wants to be sure that a club from Saudi Arabia will want to buy him by offering a big salary following Ronaldo to Saudi Arabia.
However, it seems that this goalkeeper also doesn't want to go to Saudi Arabia, he still wants to have a career at a European club, but in terms performance, he has experienced a decline which makes European clubs unsure about buying him.

We can't blame other clubs like Bayern Munich who currently have better goalkeepers and Munich doesn't want to bring in De Gea because they know that this player is experiencing a decline in performance as a goalkeeper so they chose to get another goalkeeper who is considered more qualified.

For goal keeper, 32 years is not old because many top goals keeper keep consistency although have been 40 years old, I don't think with disappointed performance with Andre Onana but Manchester United have bad performance with their defender. I think the same happening if David De Gea still Manchester United goals keeper because he can't make save on every matches when playing with bad defender.

I don't have ideas with De Gea back to Manchester United, during ten Hag is Manchester United head coach looks impossible for him reunion with United and realistic for playing with other top European teams or he can play for Saudi Pro League team and earn most expensive payment salary.

Manchester United is just giving people false hope in my opinion. Because there is actually some favouritism and hierarchy going on inside the squad. For some reason the authorities definitely do not care about that as much as they should.

I still do not know why the job of Ten Hag is still not in any kind of jeopardy. Are they even actually pushing him to bring in better results? Or are they just giving him the money that he asks for?

Because he is definitely spending a good amount of money without bringing in the results. That should be a matter of concern for Manchester United authority. But they do not seem to care to be honest.

I really understand the fear and worry of Man United fans who are almost doubting Ten Hag, but can not we see how last season Ten Hag managed to lift MU status when they were in a very bad situation like this season and ended up getting 3rd place? big in last season standings. and we will never know what Ten Hag was planning. In fact, in the UCL match in the group stage, Man United almost got a draw against a big team like Bayern Munich and this is proof that this is actually only temporary and I am sure that in the middle of the transfer market season in reopening Ten Hag will provide another surprise like last season.

We can see that Manchester United's situation is not favorable at all. Currently, Ten Hag is faced with many problems in their camp. Starting from the limited player spending budget, injured players, then now comes the Antony problem and followed by the Jadon Sancho problem. Meanwhile, Ten Hag is busy preparing his squad to perform much better than last season. but unfortunately, the situation did not support it at all. Plus, Ten Hag made several blunders either with his strategy or during an interview session regarding Jadon Sancho. This should be discussed internally. but there is not much time, what is certain is that United must bounce back and win game after game.

Well, the good news is that several injured players are scheduled to recover in the near future. In fact, some of them have been confirmed to have recovered from their injuries. Varene, Mason Mount and also Amrabat. although it looks like they won't immediately become main starters. Gradually when all the players have recovered from their injuries, United will be much better. After all, they experienced almost the same situation last season. Well, let's just wait, this season there are still a lot of matches left and Ten Hag still has time to improve his squad.

United's chances of qualifying from the group phase are still open, despite their unconvincing performance. It's natural that fans start to worry and judge the coach badly.
If United is in group C or F, it is possible that United will be eliminated. but in group A, United has a chance to qualify. worst case scenario, maybe United will return to the Europa League. just my guess.

Despite losing their first UEFA Champions League game if the season on Wednesday away at Bayern Munich, Manchester United still have been good chances of progressing to the knockout stages of the competition.
Their next champions league game will be at home to Galatasaray before a double header against Copenhagen and these are matches that they can win if they play in their full strength as a team. Despite their current poor results, I think Manchester United can still make up for their shortcomings by winning games successively.

Manchester United definitely still has the chance to reach the next level. I don't think too many people are actually going to doubt that Manchester United will be able to go to the next stage. Even though it does look questionable. But when it comes to Manchester United going further than that, I think that is going to be a problem. They are not playing well consistently. Nobody can actually guarantee how they are going to perform in the Champions League competition.

Actually nobody can guarantee how they will perform in the English Premier League, let alone the Champions League. So it is definitely hard to predict what is going to happen. But I will still tell people that they should not have much hope from Manchester United at this moment.

Friday's gossip:

Manchester United are willing to sell England winger Jadon Sancho, who they bought for £73m from Borussia Dortmund, in a cut-price deal in January. (Star)
Following a turbulent couple of weeks at Old Trafford for Sancho, it looks as though Manchester United are keen to sell him on the cheap in the upcoming January transfer window. Maybe he should just apologize to Ten Hag face-to-face?

Tottenham are to trigger an option in 31-year-old South Korea forward Son Heung-min's contract which will extend his deal by a further year until 2026. (Telegraph - subscription required)

Bayern Munich will compete with Real Madrid to sign Chelsea captain and England full-back Reece James next year. (Fichajes - in Spanish)
It looks like the competition is heating up for Chelsea's talented right-back. Real Madrid seems really keen on him as their top choice to boost their defense in the upcoming transfer window. But Bayern Munich isn't backing down either and wants to bring the England international on board. It's going to be an interesting battle for sure!

Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah is set to leave the club in January, with the 24-year-old English defender keen on a move to Bayern Munich after rejecting Nottingham Forest. (Fabrizio Romano)

Barcelona boss Xavi has agreed a one-year contract extension until 2025 in a deal which has the option to be extended by a further 12 months. (ESPN)

https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/gossip

Since Erik Ten Hag and Jadon Sancho has no mutual understanding, one of them has got to leave. Sancho will be forced to leave since he hasn't been training with the team and won't be featured in any of the games ahead. Still not satisfied with Eriks approach to this matter, two good wingers down and Sancho as the perfect man for that wing axed makes no sense.

Would be great if som decides to try new challenges. Though, Tottenham Hotspur would want to tie him down since he's the best attacking player they have.

Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are pure dreamers, Lol. Though, it's a good thing to dream but they'll never get a grasp on that player names Recee James. Chalobah wanting to reunite with Thomas Tuchel fantastic, though, Bayern Munich has good set of defensive players. I'd love to see how he fits into Munich.

In the last two seasons, Barcelona has achieve more with Xavi Hernandez. More also should be achieved this season. He should guide the lads to another successful Spanish League.

It is currently like very dumb to actually expect anything from Manchester United. I don't think Manchester United authority is actually serious about improving.

One thing I absolutely do not understand is why Manchester United is giving this coach so many chances. The other coaches they did not give many chances. however you know they also did not give too much money to the previous coaches. But they are giving this coach a lot of money. Which he is actually wasting, to be honest. I don't think the money is being used to do anything substantial for the club. I guess we can say that it is hard for any team to win against Bayern Munich. But I honestly do not expect too much from Manchester United in the Champions League.

But the European League in my opinion is still a better scenario, because they also have the opportunity to be at the top of the table if they stay on their current form. I'm not underestimating, but we also have to say the possibility of hurry. Manchestyer United have lost their identity, everyone knows how scary they were in the past, but now they are even an opportunity for opponents to get points. I know it's a different era, but they must also realize that they can regain their identity by doing the right things. I don't want to say what they should change specifically, because there are so many problems at this club.

Xavi basically has a deal for his contract.

He will extend for 1 more year until the end of 2025 with an option for 1 more year to 2026.

Im very worried about what will happen with Xavi's deal. I thought he would get a longer contract, given how well he has rebuilt Barcelona's image in La Liga. Sure, he has a job until 2025, but why does he only have a possible job until 2026? He has done a great job with the team and has helped many players from the La Masia school move up. Plus, his good friendship with Laporta seems to be a big reason why Barcelona makes many of the decisions it does. They want to win the La Liga prize, and I think they can if Xavi keeps playing well. So why are they being so careful about his contract? Do they doubt that he can see the big picture?

Inconsistent performance from manchester united still puts me on the hesitation. It's caused by manchester united was sometime making blunder once it will be playing at home. It becomes opportunity for manchester united to farm full points from galatasaray but to be honest if MU needs to be careful with copenhagen. I would take copenhagen as serious competitor to get the second place for united. The impressive performances showed by copenhagen made think it.
The only thing that made me feel so happy if ten hag was not putting meguire onto its UCL squad. There was no someone who would be making blunders during the game but missing antony is still a disadvantage for manchester united.
Obviously you have seen how bad the defenders of manchester united when it was fightin against bayern. Bayern was always able scoring the goal through open play.
It seemed to me like there were no defenders who properly blocking bayern's players to pressing into the penalty box.

I was very surprised to hear this rumor that David De Gea is considering retiring immediately if no top European team wants to recruit him. I think it is quite regrettable if a goalkeeper who can still perform well at European competition level has to retire early at an age that is actually quite a long time ago for a goalkeeper to retire. Moreover, it is strange that with the current situation of several top European teams such as Chelsea or Bayern Munich, which have goalkeepers of inadequate quality, they should be able to get a good goalkeeper like David De Gea for free.

However, other things such as David De Gea's salary per season may be too expensive for them and that could be the reason why they don't want to sign him at such an old age. Do you think David De Gea will retire in the near future or do you have predictions about another team that will sign David De Gea?

David De Gea's career has never been so bad that he has to retire. He is now 32 years old but he is still good enough as a goalkeeper and he performs very well as a goalkeeper so he deserves an offer from a good club at the moment. Why did David De Gea decide to retire if no European club offered him, there are many other clubs outside of Europe that he could join if he wanted to.

I don't understand what is the problem with Messi going out of Europe where Neymar and Ronaldo and other stars are out of Europe. Performing at a club outside of Europe is no worse than retiring. Still, if he wants to go to a club outside Europe, he can join a club outside Europe at a good price.

David De Gea's decision to retire is shocking to me, I hope he changes his mind and gets back on the pitch for whatever club it is.

I just saw this rumor and don't seem to believe the decision that he wants to retire early because he is still 32 years old and also has quite good quality so it would be a shame if De Gea wants to retire now.
But there are other rumors which say that De Gea has been offered to play again with Manchester United and he was previously a goalkeeper with very good performance when defending Manchester United.
Even though Manchester United is currently in a bad phase at least the Red Devils are still a top team.

A fairly expensive salary doesn't seem to be a logical reason and just look De Gea is not the only goalkeeper with a large salary.
Honestly I don't believe the rumors that De Gea will retire early.

It will surely be better for him to go to the Saudi league or even the MLS rather than retire at this age. Especially when he can still perform well as a goalkeeper. I think he has a lot to offer to any team that he will go to. He can definitely offer a lot to any club that is playing in the European competition even as a first goalkeeper. It will actually be very sad to see him retire.
I honestly think that some club is going to approach him. I think there is still capability inside him. Right now, I don't think any club is actively searching for goalkeepers, or actually actively approaching him as a matter of fact. But I think he should be patient.

Am quite shocked to hear of De Gea having to consider retirement so early on. Buffon stayed longer and aged gracefully at Juve, I wonder why he left Manchester United in the first place. Onana replacement of him meant he got a better opportunity somewhere else as everyone thought, perhaps a move to MLS will be better suited for him because he looks like someone who is picky and very detailed.
