After his father's statement that Diaz really wanted to play for a big Spanish team of course triggered Barcelona and Madrid to get him, but I think it will be difficult because Luiz Diaz is one of the important pillars for Liverpool at the moment, indeed Luis Diaz's current performance is often up and down, but still he can make a lot of difference when playing so I think maybe Liverpool don't want to just let him go next season, in addition to Madrid and Barcelona, reportedly PSG are also very eager to sign him and even they are ready to pay a high price Diaz to be able to add to their strength next season, currently Diaz has a contract until 2027 and of course Liverpool will have a high bargaining value for teams who want to sign him.

Barcelona are targeting Diaz as a replacement for Osman Dembele, while PSG are ready to give the place left by Mbappe next season to Diaz, and I think even if next season Liverpool want to sell Diaz of course PSG will probably be the leading club that can get him regardless of Diaz's desire to play in Spain, for now Barcelona may find it difficult to penetrate the price asked by Liverpool if they really want to buy Diaz,  PSG are prepared to pay Liverpool €120 million to €145 million and of course it would be a consideration for Liverpool to offload Diaz, who Liverpool bought from Porto in 2022 for £40m.

Even currently he is still under radar of Bayern Munich but as he clearly announces he will never go in country where he had language problem so most chances he will not accept offer from the Bayern Munich and now waiting for the offer from the Manchester United where most chances after having performance like this most chances new management will sack Eric Ten hag, and they will go ahead about next season with Zidane which is one of the best coach and having good record as coach with Real Madrid during his stint at the Bernabéu.

In case we have Zidane at the Manchester United, surely things can take change we will be able to have one of the best performance from them as well in coming season while we will be had few other teams could be also prepare well for having good chance of title at the top of the league table.

He did mention a lot of things but the one thing he did not mention was maybe he is actually the problem of Manchester United. Actually without him, Manchester United probably would have been better. Decisions that he had made for Manchester United, looked very good at first. But as time progressed, we all were able to understand that the decisions that he made were not good at all for Manchester United. It was only taking Manchester United into a hole that was getting deeper and deeper. And he was digging that hole by himself. Manchester United is not a bad club.

Well, actually it was not. Now the new owners do not care about anything. So it is a problem. If the owners actually cared about the club, the coach would have been gone by now.

Every club gave their best player and they also have backup players. Pep Guardiola have been the outstanding coach that's keen on managing his status this season. He have grown most of his epic players to be professionals and have always been in the picture. Every player is replaceable in the current days of football except for the two undisputed GOATs, Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi. They are irreplaceable based on their accomplishments so far in European football and their incredible stats every season consistently.

I said it and I stand by my words. Every player is replaceable. Except for only two players, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi in their prime. Except for these two every player is replaceable, at least so far. Even Mbappé is replaceable.

Do you remember the magical words of Pep Guardiola? When he said "we cannot replace him, we just cannot" about Aguero?

In the end, he was probably the easiest to replace. So I never believe that no player is replaceable. Only the two that I mentioned were irreplaceable in their prime and those two are exceptions. And remember exceptions do not make the rule. Maybe a few very select players are not replaceable at a certain time. But in general, it is not true that you cannot replace a player. With time and money anything and any player is replaceable.

Kimmich is an important player for Bayern Munich, but it can be said that he is about to pass his prime, so it is understandable for Bayern to sell Kimmich in the future. However, Musiala is a player who represents the talented youth of Bayern Munich, so I also think it is unlikely that Bayern will sell him.

Many clubs are looking at Musiala because of his impeccable talent. This is a versatile midfielder who can play many positions well and has a lot of potential to shine in the future. However, there is a problem: Bayern's current situation is quite unstable as it is unknown who Bayern's next coach will be? And Musiala himself wants to know who the new coach is before making a further commitment to the team. This is also an opportunity for other teams like Manciy and Liverpool to rely on to attract Musiala.

Nagelsmann will definitely consider it if he wants to return to coaching Bayern Munich because previously he was fired for no clear reason. But in football the impossible can happen and Nagelsmann could return as Bayern Munich coach if he is given the freedom to decide which players he wants to buy. Of course Bayern Munich will always be a special place for Nagelsmann and I am sure that if management gives him the freedom he will return to coach Bayern Munich.

Regarding the Champions League and I don't think Tuchel will make it to the final because if you look at the strategy he is implementing, it is too easy for opponents to read. The semifinals will bring together strong teams and I think this season there is no chance for Bayern Munich to become a champion candidate.

Lukaku good relationship with Jose Mourinho saved him from future uncertainty at the start of last season, Roma benefited greatly from Lukaku presence on the front lines. Statistically, Lukaku has played in 41 matches for Roma this season, and the Belgian striker has scored 18 goals and recorded 4 assists in all competitions he has participated in, and Lukaku has missed several matches due to injury. Apart from that, Roma management should deserve to make Lukaku permanent, even though they will most likely have difficulty buying him permanently from Chelsea.

Inter Milan cannot afford to make Lukaku status permanent, they do not have an adequate budget to cover the asking price set by Chelsea management. Lukaku was also rumored to be joining Juventus before finally choosing to strengthen Roma this season. Apart from all that, we certainly realize that there is no guarantee that a player will continue to be consistent in his best performance, and the club situation and needs will always be different every season, Lukaku is at the right club at the moment.

Does Nacho state that reason?  
As long as Nacho never stated a reason of not joining a certain team, it is possible to move the team. So far, I don't get any information about the next plan of Nacho. He may stay in La Liga or move to another league. If he doesn't want to face Real Madrid, he must prioritize to move to another league. He probably join Italian teams, EPL teams, German teams, or France teams. He may surprise us if he moves to SPL or MLS.

Nacho Fernández is 34 years old. Sure, he is still possible to continue his professional career as a footballer in the next few years. However, I am also not sure that he will play until 38 years old. Most players have considered to retire when he is already 35 years old. However, it depends on the condition of the fitness ang physical of the player. If he has no bad issue with his physical, he may play until 38 years old or more.

Taking into account the fact that Nagelsmann’s offenders, Kahn and Salihamidzic, were fired in disgrace (I think one could say so) that Nagelsmann’s return will not be something surprising. The question is whether Bayern is now an attractive project for him, given that he has options.
As for Tuchel, winning the Champions League will not change anything - he failed not only his tournament performance but also his relationship with the team, he will 100% be fired.

Lukaku career was never good since transfered to Chelsea because he never performing well again just like when he was showing with Inter Milan and actually last summer Inter Milan almost permanent his status but Lukaku made contoversial statement which make Inter Milan don't want to buy him but unfortunately Juventus also doesn't want to buy him although at that time this team was linked to him and in the last minutes of summer transfer window Mourinho has decide to save his career by loan him with one season with Roma

Actually in the beginning of season Lukaku performance is very impressive but i don't know why since Mourinho leave the team Lukaku performance was decline although De Rossi still attempts to playing him for every matches but Lukaku performance is never getting better and one thing for sure it is confirmed Roma will not permanent Lukaku status which mean after league ended then Lukaku will return to Chelsea again and i think his future could be so uncertain because Mauricio Pochettino doesn't want to putting him to Chelsea next season plan so if Lukaku want to playing regularly then Lukaku have to find new club this summer

Luis Diaz's possibility of leaving Liverpool gets higher day by day as it seems. This time Barcelona is called with his name.  

Honestly it would really be a nice choice for him if he decides to leave. He should continue to play for a big team in one of the best European leagues. Barcelona is a good place in terms of that. There are Felix and Ferran Torres on the left wing there though. When Luis Diaz also comes the competition level will get much higher. Joao Felix's future is still uncertain as he is on loan. If Barcelona don't sign him for a longer time period then Luis Diaz would be replaced with him.

Mistakes must be made for changes to sip through. This is just how I see it with this Lukaku's case. He has enjoyed a fantastic career and even at Inter Milan, he was good as much as he has been for Roma in front line while being proficient in goal delivery. He is still a good fit in the manager, Daniele De Rossi's plan and at 30, if he should consider leaving, it might just be to the Saudi Arabia pro league, where the money is good and better than he currently is worth, the play is easier and the fun is great.

Pressure is something expected for football players. The bigger club they play for, the bigger ambition they set, the bigger pressures are expected. However, it shouldn't be something excusable to drop in performances. Good players are them who are able to overcome all the pressure on them at every level of stage.

I think the reason for Chelsea players not able to overcome the pressure is because they are a collective young players in a squad who are new to the club. High wages and high expectations have make them hard to develop, because this pressure and expectations have been making them not allowed to make mistake. This situation makes them difficult to develop, because developing means they are allowed to make mistakes which are lessons for them to learn from.

The first time I saw a report that suggests that Bayern Munich are trying to secure the services of Germany national team coach, I couldn't believe it because to me, I felt it wasn't possible for Bayern Munich to try sign Julian Nagelsmann after sacking him last season without a strong reason. Julian Nagelsmann is currently contacted with his job as German national team manager but I strongly believe that he'll still not accept to manage the Bayern Munich team anytime soon if he was not free.
Bayern Munich played a fast one on him last season by sacking the German and replacing him by another German who wasn't able to give them what they wanted. There's still every possiblity of Thomas Tuchel leaving Bayern Munich at the end of the season with the UEFA Champions League trophy but that's very unlikely to happen if you ask me.

Lukaku joined Roma when Mourinho was working there and he was a player with good performance for his team, Even after he joined Roma he had good performance in some games but it was not enough because time after time Roma was disappointed in Lukaku.
Now after De Rossi started working in Rona he didn't use Lukaku and instead, he used other players. The thing about Roma and Lukaku is they are playing well without Lukaku and this means it's time for him to leave.
I think he made a mistake when he left Inter Milan like that because Lukaku was famous there and he had a good performance even the fans of Inter Milan wanted to see him play for their team, but now everything is changed.

Inter Milan are already champions of the Serie A league at the moment though they still keep going in search of free transfer players. I don’t think this is a bad idea as signing this kind of players will be able to help the club save up some more funds for when it’s really needed.

 ⁠The players that are on the radar of Inter Milan are players with quite a handsome of experience and you can trust them on the pitch of play. Players like this will be able to help them in their bid to defend their league next seasom and as such one can be confident of the signings made by this Inter Milan team.

 ⁠I heard of thr interest in Real Madrid’s Nacho and I think that’s one interesting move especially as he’s spent most of his time at Madrid and will be willing to try out some new challenges. Joining the Italian giants wouldn’t be a bad one as that’s a new and better form of challenge for a player like him.

 ⁠Addition of Nacho will be more or less a pattern of reinforcement in the defense area because of how composed he is and his experience with Real Madrid, you can trust his game of play so well. I think Inter aren’t on the wrong path with  their signings or should i say interests as most of them are all quality with enough experience.

It would be very natural if Nagelsmann rejected an offer to return from Bayern Munich, who previously fired him and replaced him with Thomas Tuchel. The internal conflict that occurred in the Bayern Munich camp at that time meant that Nagelsmann had to leave Bavaria. Several founders and senior players were suspected of being the background to Nagelsmann's dismissal. Now, Nagelsmann has extended his contract with the German national team until 2026. Quoted from BCC, it is an honor to coach the national team and this is a decision from the heart. for a coach of Nagelsmann's age, it is a big thing to manage a project with Der Panzer.

As for Zidane, this legendary French and Real Madrid player is always linked with any team that is looking for a new coach, I think this is just news which is actually probably just a rumor. In fact, Bayern has been linked with several competent coaches, including two coaches who have both managed Bayern Munich before. Apart from Nagelamann, Hansi Flick has also been linked with the Bavarian team. however, the news was no longer heard. there is also another coach, who trains a club in the Eredivisie League. What is certain is that Bayern and Thomas Tuchel have an agreement to end their contract until the end of this season. So, let's just wait for the replacement candidate later. At least, for now Bayern Munich's focus is on the Champions League semifinal match. So, before changing coaches, Thucel will do his job and provide the best.

Therefore Chelsea must realize because in the end a lot of money will not be able to bring good results if the search for players and management who are not in line with the philosophy then the money spent will only burn in vain without any results.
They are not aware of that at this time and all they are doing is trying to find new players with great potential without caring whether the player will fit or not with the club which in the end it backfires on Chelsea itself and the fact that these 2 seasons have been stagnant even though they spent more than 500 million should be proof that the scheme they did was a mistake.
It is wrong to say that a player who plays in the previous or current club they do it without pressure because in the end it is the same thing where the pressure continues to always be there, it's just that they are able or not to overcome the pressure and at Chelsea the pressure is greater and unfortunately they are unable to conquer it because of several internal reasons not only from their lack of adaptation but there are still many things that must be improved from Chelsea and currently what I see for Chelsea is only the purchase of Palmer is the best for now the rest is just a standard situation.

I think he is to blame himself for the most part as I think he should have tried to settle somewhere and give his career a chance to develop over a longer period of time at the same club. He was jumping around all the time and always went after the money. He couldn't gain the appreciation and loyalty of fans because he said he loves the club one day while announcing that he signed a contract with another club the next day. I think this is never good for a player and no doubt he is a talented striker, but as I said, he never gave himself a chance to find a good way at one ore two clubs.
