This summer transfer window is going to be full of surprised moves,because most teams wants to sell their first team players,and one of those teams I know is Arsenal,who might sell Nketiah their striker, Gabriel Jesus their no.9 and the rest fringe players who were occupying space on the bench.On the other hand,they will be looking forward to signing some big players like Brono Guimaraes of Newcastle,Watskins of Aston Villa and other names whom they've already highlighted out that they will sign.
Arsenal really need this signing if they are to win the league,because as far as I'm concerned,this season is over for them,City have won the league already and there is nothing that will make City drop points again till season ends.

Apparently Milan decision to changing manager is the final decision because after this season ended Pioli will be replaced and besides Julen Lopetegui previously there are several names as the candidate next manager of Milan such as Paulo Fonseca, Domenico Tedesco, Mark van Bommel, Christophe Galtier, and Thiago Motta but apparently Julen Lopetegui is being an strong candidate to be the next manager of Milan and indeed West Ham too has been thinking to hire Julen Lopetegui even they were offering huge funds for him to bought the players and high salary too for Lopetegui but apparently Lopetegui is more likely to interested to train Milan than West Ham

Milan is a big team in Serie A and i am sure they will demanding the trophy for each season and i have to says Lopetegui reputation as a manager is not really good because he was several times to gets sacked from his previous teams but indeed after save Wolves from relegation zone last season Lopetegui has no club and about this rumour apparently it will possibly to happened because Lopetegui agent is still under negotiate with Milan representative to talking about this transfer

Has interest from the Saudi League gone away? I remember rumors that Salah would go to Saudi for a $150M transfer fee. I honestly doubt his performance for Liverpool is a huge concern for Saudi clubs, considering players like Benzema also fail to perform iirc. If anything, he will probably perform better just like Mane, so the goal is probably marketing. On the other hand, Liverpool probably needs him for other stuff like team building, so I doubt they will let him go for free next transfer window.

The both clubs you mentioned are definitely two good clubs that desperately need a top tier coach like Antonio Conte but I will prefer he goes to Napoli ahead of Chelsea reasons been that first he just left Chelsea rivals Tottenham without any significant impact and he might need do away from the environment at the moment. Secondly Conte doesn’t know how to manage young players which are definitely what are packed in Chelsea squad at the moment.

For Chelsea their choices of both Mourinho and Conte is not that good to me, they need a long term coach that can build a team around young players. This two coaches cannot stand the nuisance of this young Chelsea players and might be requesting for older signings. Also both of them do not stay beyond three seasons in a club before they start their tour to another club again

Salah still has a pretty good performance at the moment with Liverpool, so I think he still has a pretty high selling value even though he is not young anymore, at the moment some Arab clubs have reportedly made fantastic offers to sign Salah from Liverpool and I think it is better indeed for Liverpool to consider the offer in order to get a big fund to use in the summer,  Liverpool of course still need a lot of improvement on many fronts so I think selling Salah would be the right option in order to be able to improve the team next season with young and talented players, besides that so far Salah has a history of injuries so it will certainly make his market value will continue to decline if later Liverpool keep him until Salah contract expires.

Maybe Salah will only be able to stay in his best form with Liverpool 1 more season but slowly of course his performance will decline due to age and injury, so that in the end Liverpool no longer have high bargaining power to benefit from the sale of Salah in the future, what you say is quite true, because now Liverpool should project their team long-term and regenerate the team to be one of the solutions.

But the problem is that fans are not satisfied with what he has shown this season. The fans definitely want to get better results than now, so it's natural that they doubt the performance of their current coach. This is nothing new, even with teams that can only compete in the top 5, there are some fans who don't like their coach because they think their team can show more than that.
However, Chelsea also have to consider it carefully, because in the last few seasons they have changed coaches several times, and in my opinion this is not a good thing. We can see their decision when they fired Thomas Tuchel at that time, even though their performance was actually not that bad. But when they made the decision to sack Thomas Tuchel, they had even worse results. they must be able to learn from their experience, because there is no guarantee that when they change coaches they will be better, although there is also no guarantee that when they retain their coach, they will improve even more.

I completely agree with what Tim Sherwood said in the video posted by Skysports said that if liverpool must sell salah asap before it's too late. It is time for Liverpool to cash him in caused by salah's price is still very high at this time, it will give liverpool a lot of money to boost the summer transfer season. It would be so stupid if Liverpool kept him for another season caused by salah's price may be declining so ahrd. I'm still hoping Arne will sell Salah during the summer transfer season as klopp will not be liverpool's coach at the end of season. The club would be better off cashing in on Salah rather than watching his price drop from time to time and it will give nothing to the club. Perhaps, arne may think an alternative idea for him.
Salah isn't playing as well as he used to, and I believe this is due to his age. his performance is still inconsistent and i can understand it. It's better for Liverpool to trade him for 100 million than keep him for another season.

Liverpool can use that large sum of money to sign so many talented players. This will be extremely beneficial to the club in the long run because Liverpool will be able to sign some promising young players to join the club beginning with the upcoming season. The Reds will not be as stupid as Barcelona.
Blaugrana was constantly refusing to sell the players because the price was so high. These players were sold for a very low price at the time.

Conte is rumoured with every team these days as it seems.    However I'm not surprised at all of course. In the end Conte is one of the best options who are free agents right now. It is normal to see many big teams going after him this summer. But I'm curious about what his plans are these days.

If Conte would like to return to Italy then I also think he could sign for Napoli. Napoli are in a really desperate condition now. They really need a manager like Spalletti from now on. Conte is a great candidate. However if he goes to the Premier League I wouldn't be against it either. He had good achievements with Chelsea. 

The rumor also contains information that he will be sacked if he fails to win the FA Cup. Before now there was also a report that it was decided by the management of the club to keep him beyond this season. The press could come up with several conflicting reports that can cause confusion. But I am not surprised if Ajax wants him back because he is one of the most successful coaches in the club's history. Erik ten Hag won in his time in Ajax brought Eredivisie titles, two KNVB Beker Cups, and also was instrumental in Ajax's qualification to the UCL semifinals where they were knocked out by Tothenham after a magical Lucas Moura hat-trick. He is a good coach but just unfortunate in Old Trafford, maybe leaving the club to his former club might bring back his luck.

Imagine if Manchester United sack Ten Hag and Ten Hag is successful in Ajax, while Manchester United didn't improve with their new manager. This will be a huge blow to many people since Ten Hag is actually a good manager and Manchester United is just Manchester United, a team that nothing without Sir Alex Ferguson.

I really want to see it, so this will make people to realize don't always put the blame on the manager, instead blame the players.

I think it's not easy to consume every rumor that exists and the rest is just bait that journalists can always use to attract readers' interest. Antonio Conte has not coached for quite a long time and it is time for him to appear again as coach of a club. In my opinion, the rest time he used was enough and if he doesn't train again soon then his name will also start to fade from the ranks of other top coaches.

Of all the teams you mentioned, I lean more towards Juventus considering that he is also a legendary figure with La Vechia Signora and it would definitely be nostalgic if he became the new manager at this club from Turin. Allegri has served as a coach for too long and Juventus cannot find worthy competition while still being managed by him. So I hope he can join Juventus at the end of the season and Allegri hopes he can be fired soon.

Yeah, I was reading this too. Acmilan appears to have realized that the club needed to end its relationship with Pioli because he was never improving significantly. The club keeps getting stuck in the same location. Meanwhile, its competitor Intermilan is gradually gaining ground by winning any trophies this season other than UCL.
I believe that seeing Intermilan win the trophy is a major setback for all Acmilan officials. This is why they decided to part ways with Pioli. He is no longer an important coaching figure for the club. Julen has received an offer from West Ham, but he is likely to move closer to Milan.

I believe he chose Milan because the club is significantly larger than West Ham. That could be why he's turning down West Ham's offer right now for acmilan caused by milan will help him to perform at UCL on his first season with acmilan. it's time for him to show. Acmilan is attempting to gamble again.

Chelsea still needs a process to be truly stable in terms of performance, with last season having made a lot of player changes, it is not easy to be able to compete in the EPL. But if the fans are a little patient next season the results could be much better than now. As a fairly well established English club, Chelsea in the hands of Todd Boehly, has many procontra. The transfer and player purchasing policy is considered a failure. Todd doesn't understand Chelsea cycle so it's not surprising that this season the results are a little unexpected. However Chelsea is still facing the end of the season and can still have a positive impact and is now in 9th place, slowly rising. Last season the Blues were only able to finish in 12th position in the standings, while this season there are still 6 matches and if they are able to finish with 3 points, it is possible to overtake Man United in 5th position.

But sometimes it sucks because maybe for those who are in the scope of the media, all forms of news can be commercialized regardless of whether it is a true or false thing, the most important thing is that their traffic goes up but on the other hand it is not too ethical if it is talking about the rules of football which should uphold fairplay.

Although currently there are still some media that are still very good at reporting things like this, but most of them just want to reap profits sometimes not paying attention to that.

At the moment Conte is still unclear even though there are some rumors but I don't want to discuss that because the rumors that are happening now could be tricky because there is no validation that can be truly verified so seeing this condition is important I think to wait at least until the end of the season how this continues.

AC Milan is in talks with Julen Lopetegui to replace Stefano Pioli as head coach next season.
West Ham is also reportedly interested in Julen Lopetegui but Lopetegui is reported to prioritize AC Milan over West Ham or other European clubs, currently Julen Lopetegui is without a club so it is just a matter of time until there is an official announcement from AC Milan for their new head coach
https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1784164516810330143

Julen Lopetegui can be said to be ordinary in his coaching career because when he was at Real Madrid he was fired because of poor results, at Sevilla he was quite successful with a European league title but after that he only became a coach at a mediocre team like Wolves, so Julen Lopetegui may not be the right person for a club like AC Milan.

I think realistic with Chelsea's fans expected with their manager Pochettino giving any tittle for the first season after spending much money and make huge rotation players after sacking many senior players. Its problem for Pochettino not trust yet any senior players in squad and replacing by youth players has higher transfer market values but get inconsistent performance, actually too fat comparison between Jose Mourinho and Pochettino how difficult with Chelsea break to top fourth standings position in this season although become most much money spending recruit new players as Premier League teams.

Seems still has second chance for Pochettino in next season will make Chelsea more competitive to get top fourth position standings or not any change yet with Chelsea performance keep difficult raise to Europe League and Champion League spot place.

After his rollercoaster experience, I doubt he'd want to use that pressure cooker again. Winning awards is different from being dumped. Left a mark. Not sure he wants to risk it again. With Jose likely out, United needs a game-changer without baggage. Liverpool needs out-of-the-box thinking like Arne Slot. Not only a tactician, but someone who ignites the team, handles the media circus, and unites the locker room. We need a new age and attitude to change things.

Since rumors about United to find his replacement have has been circulated since last season and it was also triggering so many speculations to appear regarding him, Ten Hag has begun to appear on the short list of his previous club (AJAX), which is very good for me to see that. United must not help him to find a new club. This comes to me as no surprise given that ten hag will most likely leave the club at the end of the season consider even sir him has been starting to feel upset with him. The situation at United will improve if he is not in the club and im hoping him to leave from the club as soon as possible. United needs to recruit a new coach to rebuild the club. 

It's good to hear that Ajax is willing to get him back consider ten hag may be finding some difficulties to get a new club since his bad journey with united, and I believe Ten Hag is fully prepared for it.

It would be too naive to say that the trophies that Pochettino has won are not special and we must know that other coaches have had a hard time presenting trophies for the clubs they manage in the French League Competition and in my opinion it is also quite prestigious Because not many coaches have succeeded in getting them and instead only a few a coach who is able to provide the best for the club. For European competitions such as the Champions League and Europe, I agree that Pochettino does not yet have the ability to provide that.

Jose Mourinho cannot be compared with Pochettino because the two are quite different and Jose Mourinho has been successful at various clubs, including domestic league trophies, European leagues and the Champions League. For me, comparing the two is not comparable because there is a big difference between Jose Mourinho and Pochettino.

I don't see any possibility of Mourinho returning to Manchester United, because after all this time Mourinho has not performed well at Manchester United, indeed currently Manchester United is in the search for a new manager but I think Manchester will not make Mourinho as an option to replace Ten Hag, Morineho's coaching is very short and only ended in disappointment for both parties at that time,  I think at the moment Manchester United's owners will be inclined to find another coach and maybe Zidane could be the right solution to replace Ten Hag at Manchester United next season.

I think ten Hag has a lot of mistakes that he should be able to correct during his time at Manchester United, Manchester United's performance is getting worse every day even though their squad is filled with good players, but unfortunately many of ten Hag's decisions in optimizing Manchester United players have actually become boomerangs that make them often lose so far,  For now I think Ten Hag no longer has the full support of the fans and also the Manchester United management to keep coaching.
