Yeah Bernardo Silva have blended very well with Manchester City and for sure he is a big player now such that any team that wants to sign him to their squad will know that they will be letting a huge sum off their bag but certainly for FC Barcelona, I don't think they can be able to afford Bernardo Silva because we all are aware of the financial situation of Barcelona now, and even if they will afford him it will involve selling off two players before they can be able to raise money for his transfer but however, Barcelona will not like to sell off two players just to afford Bernardo Silva.

Looking at it from another angle, I keep asking that what really led to Barcelona's financial constraints because this is a club that was blooming in finance before the exit of Lionel Messi just all of a sudden they just fell into financial crisis which has deprived them of making quality signings to the team. Whether Xavi Hernandez remains Barcelona coach or not it will not change the club's current situation right now unless they build up quality players within the squad and possibly sell them off then they can raise up money for the team.

PSG's struggles to win the Champions League have taught me that assembling all the best players in the world in a team doesn't guarantee success. PSG had Mbappe, Neymar, and Messi but couldn't win much, so it's not certain that Real Madrid will experience wonders if the French player finally moves to Madrid. Having too many superstars in one club also has its problems.

Personality clashes could arise because each of them will want to also strive for personal awards, but I trust the ability of Carlo Ancelotti. With his experience and human relations skills, I think he would be able to get the best out of the players. He has worked with many top players during his long coaching career and was able to handle them effectively. I also hope that Mbappe will be able to drop his ego and become a team player. This is because he might not get all the attention he got in Parc des Princes.

Kylian Mbappe ought to be the most completed player in the history of football, he won the World Cup at tender age and have completed lifting significant titles, remaining the UEFA Champions League, he should make a move to Real Madrid because that's the only team that's capable of giving him the desired award, Ballon d'Or. Real Madrid are regarded as the best team this season and their probability of winning the UEFA Champions League is very high when compared to other teams. It's necessary to acknowledge the big winnings of Real Madrid based on the incredible players that don't give up but stretched themselves to record good results and these are not some random mediocre players but classic and there performance is good enough to lift the team's performance to next phase.

Will it still be speculation? I don't think Mbappe will stay at PSG for any reason, but if he moves to Real Madrid without having to sell Vini or Rodrigo then that's a great striker combination because Real Madrid have done the same thing in the past.

Now that decision could change because currently Real Madrid have not sealed Mbappe to move to the Bernabeu, there must be a twist but this will be the news that continues to be talked about during the summer and even in the transfer window.

I feel Mbappe is still having trouble making a decision because PSG is definitely looking for ways to keep him especially if PSG wins the UCL for the first time, there is a bigger sweet promise.

The news about Mbappe is still hotly discussed. I personally don't follow how Mbappe will determine his fate for next season. PSG certainly doesn't want to lose but from the many news on social media. I think Madrid is indeed the team that is the strongest candidate for Mbappe's choice. especially with his extraordinary abilities, I think Madrid doesn't want to lose the opportunity to get Mbappe for free.

Mbappe must act professionally in making decisions. imagine Madrid getting Mbappe, they will be a very strong and productive team next season. Let's see the end of this drama.

If Mbappe is successfully brought in by Real Madrid, of course their strength will be much stronger for next season.  Mbappe, Vini, Rodrygo and Bellingham will certainly make Real Madrid front line sharper and will be a big alert for the opposing defense they face. So, this season alone, Real Madrid is very strong because Real Madrid managed to beat Manchester City and qualify for the Champions League semifinals.

Real Madrid steps to get Mbappe are of course at the forefront, but we hope Mbappe doesn't change his decision because if he chooses to stay with PSG then Mbappe has given Real Madrid false hope. Both PSG and Real Madrid this season are the strongest teams in the Champions League and there is a chance that these two teams will meet each other in the Champions League final.

I think they are a little late to the party. If they had gone for him a little earlier, they might have been able to get him. But now the Real Madrid boss has said that they are not going to let him go to any other club on loan.

Definitely, Real Madrid sees a future with this kid and are going to try to keep him close. Real Madrid is also planning to get him more and more playtime. they had made this approach earlier, maybe there was a possibility.

Actually, I am not denying any possibility of him being loaned to another club. But the thing is, as soon as Real Madrid gave him a chance he was able to deliver. If he keeps performing like that, he is definitely not going away from Real Madrid on any kind of deal. But the way he is performing, it is definitely worth approaching Real Madrid for him. But if for some reason he actually accepts the deal, it is not going to be really good for his career.

Barcelona must have trigger his release clause in order to buy him out from manchester city. Bernardo silva has sent some signals if he is very interesting to play in barcelona. The final decision totally depends on barcelona whether laporta will approve it. I strongly believe xavi sees silva as a potential player to be recruited by barcelona.
Yet again the financial problem is the reason why it's unlikely to happen. Barcelona must have sold some players first.

Barcelona's only option is to sell some of its players in order to cash in some money to lift the ban from recruiting the new player. This money can be used to recruit the new players. Some players such as Araujo and De Jong have received offers from major clubs, but Barcelona has yet to decide whether to sell those two players. The longer barcelona decide it, less amounts of money can be sached in by barcelona. I strongly believe that Barcelona will make another stupid mistake, such as rejecting a large offer for Ansu Fati, which is now a flop.

In my earlier post about this subject matter today, I categorically stated that Bernardo Silva has established himself as a major force in Pep Guardiola's team so I don't expect the club to easily release one of their most important player to Barcelona and if they should do it, then it must come with a huge  prize which I don't think Barcelona will be able to pay. Over the past four years, Barcelona have seriously struggled to sign top football players that'll represent the club not because they actually do not want to sign high profiled players but because they do not have the financial strength to sign them. The financial crises at the club have significantly limited their spendings in the transfer market and for a player like Bernardo Silva, I think it'll be very difficult for Barcelona to pay his required buy out clause.
Barcelona is very lucky that their manager Xavi Hernandez have accepted to remain at the club beyond the current season so the best approach to improve the club now that they've got limited finances is to invest more in their young players

Chelsea's weakness this season is always their defense line. Not only do they c struggle to defend to the lead, but also concede easy goals, which supposed preventable. Reece James and Chilwell being constantly injured may have affected their defense structure, because there are projected to be regular starters due to their are 'senior' players in the team who know better about the team.

Another Chelsea's weakness is Central Forward position. It's clear to see that Jackson can not be expected to lead the attacks. He doesn't look a threat to the opponents' defense with his skill and movements. The amount of chances he has missed implies that he is not good enough to be the striker for a big club with big ambition. The wingers are not the worst, but they are still below expectations of what they could do for the clinical attacks of the front line.

Yes, this is the latest news we heard about Mbappe possible moving to Real Madrid. Mbappe actually already got a personal agreement with Real Madrid, he showed his intention to join Real Madrid for the next season. I think it won't be the same as in the last season, Mbappe's status is a free agent now. PSG management can't stop him anymore. As long as Mbappe didn't extend his contract with PSG, it is clear that Mbappe will leave PSG and probably move to Real Madrid.

There is a big chance that he will leave PSG. He has no intention to play with PSG anymore, he has no good relationship with PSG management lately. Real Madrid is Mbappe's priority now. Sure, it is his dream to join Real Madrid and wins many trophies with Real Madrid. I think Mbappe won't try to postpone his intention again.

Cole Palmer is currently the runner up top scorer while the Premier League, besides that even Jakson is included in the top 17 top scorers, so indeed what you said is quite true if Chelsea's main problem this season is not the attacking line, so far Chelsea's attack line in my opinion is quite sharp both the middle side and their two wings that are able to continue to trouble the opposing team's defense,  In addition, if we compare Chelsea's percentage of scoring goals this season is quite large, almost 2.0 per game and it is proven that the number of goals they have is still better than Manchester United who are currently ranked 6th who are only able to score 52 goals, while Chelsea are much better with 63 goals and it proves that they have sharpness in terms of scoring.

But why can they also be down in the league?
Of course because they often waste victories so far by continuing to concede when victory is almost in sight, their very fragile defense certainly makes it difficult for Chelsea to maintain every victory, so of course next season Chelsea must be able to focus on defense for them to fix immediately.

Bernardo Silvas contract doesn't end until 2026 which is going to be the hardest thing for Barcelona. I mean if his contract was ending like İlkay then I would understand the logic because it would work better for Barcelona to just pay the player and that's it. But when we are talking about someone with already a contract then it means Barcelona will have to pay a transfer fee as well.

I do not think that transfer fee would make sense in this case, Barcelona is already poor and in big debt, which means that spending money on transfer fee doesn't make sense for them anyway, they need to get free agents and youth players from la masia to make sure that they stay afloat. Not only that, but I agree that Silva won't be a cheap player, so it will be a lot of money as well.

If we check the performances of Chelsea so far this season, you would agree with me that wingers aren't the major problem to the Chelsea's current team, how would you know of this? if you go back to their games records, you would notice that Chelsea have always had difficulty in defending their victory, they always comceive goals in almost all their games which shows that their defence line is very weak and faulty which needs to be fixed.

Idk, what's plan owned by chelsea and pochettino but this really surprises me to se that how chelsea is interesting to add nico williams to join in the club. This sounds bad consider chelsea is willing to gamble by buying a new winger from bilbao.
This sounds bad for the club, i meant chelsea has so many wingers in the squad. None of these wingers were showing good performance this season.


Todd boehly is not yet giving up in giving more money to rebuild the club. As a new policy in the club. When chelsea buys a new player and it must also sell an old player. Im only guessing that if nico william will be used to fulfil an available spot owned by thiago silva.
I would rather than chelsea to focus on how to recruit a good defender instead of always putting its focus on the attackers.

The performance from chelsea is far below my expectation. Adding another winger is only creating chaos in the club.

Barcelona will not sell Lamine Yamal even if they offer a lot of money, this is because Barcelona knows that Lamine Yamal has great potential to even surpass Mbappe in the future and if Barcelona keeps Lamine Yamal and gets more young players with the potential of Lamine Yamal so Barcelona could go back to the old days when they had a great squad with great individual talent. What we have today in Barcelona is a team made up of many normal players. different from the past when Barcelona was made up of a cast of genius players. So it is necessary for Barcelona to retain as many genius players as they can and Lamine Yamal is a genius player

now about mbappe, he has already played a lot for psg and knows that he is in a weak league, psg has no opponents in the league1 so we hear news like: psg became champions of the league1 it is no surprise, on the contrary, it is something common every season . and this will not make mbappe win individual awards. If messi and ronaldo won great individual awards it was because they played for great teams like real madrid and barcelona. players like figo, zidane, david beckham, kaka, ronaldinho reached the peak of their careers because they were at real madrid or barcelona. That's why in my opinion Mbappe needs to go to Real Madrid if he also wants to reach the top as a player

Let's say Mbappe won the Champions League with PSG, so what? Will this somehow cancel the fact that League 1 is not a top league (compared to the other 4 top leagues)?
Leaks say that Real Madrid have already notified the French Federation that they will not allow Mbappe to go to the Paris Olympics, it is obvious that the contract has already been signed. The official announcement will take place as soon as Real Madrid or PSG are eliminated from the Champions League or played each other (in this case it will be the final).

That's because of news sources' writing about Mbappe every year actually. For years we have seen them linking him with another team and people discussed the topic like all the time. The last time Mbappe was nearing the end of his contract he decided to extend by signing a new huge contract. This time people are discussing whether it would happen again or not. 

I have also heard such thing like Real Madrid and Mbappe has already reached agreement with each other. However this is also a rumour without any proof. I remember Mbappe's recent statement that he didn't made up his mind about his future yet and he just wanted to focus on his game. I wasn't also expecting him to reach a verbal agreement that early.

Mbappe chance and opportunity to get the Balloon d'Or is by giving the UCL trophy to PSG, this is something he still cannot give to his club. In fact, even when PSG had Messi and Neymar, Mbappe also failed to provide a UCL. IMO, The best moment was when Mbappe managed to win the World Cup title with france, unfortunately he was not good at UCL. If at that time Mbappe could bring PSG more longer in UCL and become top scorer, maybe Mbappe could have won the Balloon d'Or. Currently, if Mbappe moves from PSG, if he experiences a decline in performance, it will be the same, he will not be able to get the Balloon d'Or.

He will have his teammates as the competitors to get the ballon d'or. The better for mbappe to win UCL trophy first since this trophy is the hardest trophy to win by him. I remember mbappe has entered world cup final two times and won one of it. It's kinda different with UCL. Mbappe was so struggling to win it.
Moving to the real madrid for a better future is good for him and his career. Mbappe will be real madrid's legend after CR7.
