It is true that currently Barcelona cannot recruit new players because they still have a lot of debt that must be paid off immediately, even though in fact Barcelona really needs new players to support Barcelona's success next season. If Barcelona cannot recruit the players they need, we cannot predict their performance. What will Barcelona be like next season, especially since Cavi Hernandez is no longer coaching Barcelona next season, Barcelona's appearance will definitely be different from this season and the strategy used by the new coach will also definitely be different from the one given by Cavi, but if the new coach is able to handle it well as stated Cavi did it when he coached Barcelona for the first time, perhaps not needing to recruit new players is not a problem, the most important thing is that the club does not put excessive pressure on the new manager.

Yes, Barcelona does need to sell some of its players if they want to make changes or exchange the players they need or at least extend the loan period of Joao Felix and Joao Cancelo because their loan contracts will expire at the end of this season and it seems Barcelona cannot make them permanent because their transfer fees are quite high expensive, Barcelona can recruit players if Barcelona is also willing to sell some of its players.

I think Ten Hag is a problematic coach. He sent Jadon Sancho from the team and was among the first 11 players in the Champions League quarter-final yesterday. He plays great in Borussia Dortmund. Why can't Manchester United use him? I think the problem must be in Ten Hag because there are many more examples like this. I hope he doesn't take charge of the team next year because he is a coach far from success.

Actually i believe that if Manchester united can acquire the services of Antonio conte, and he finally signed for the club, it's going to be a major upgrade to Eric ten hang, because Antonio conte is a manager that is definitely going to improve this Manchester united side and he is going to stop most of the unprofessional attitude being put on by most Manchester united player no doubt.

So as for Juventus thinking of replacing alegri with Antonio conte, though their is nothing official, but I really don't think it's a major upgrade because alegri is also a top quality coach as conte, what I feel that Juventus really needs is for them to strengthen their club more, because I believe that alegri can still deliver the goods for this Juventus side if their is enough quality in the squad.

Sancho will back in the next three months, if Ten Hag still stays, it means Sancho won't want to play for Manchester United and he might loaned to other teams again.

Manchester United don't have to sell Mainoo to other teams because Manchester United currently didn't have a good squad. There are many teams sell their potential player and that player perform very well in the next team, to sign the player back is already impossible due to the high too high.

I was expecting for that nice.    Conte has a pretty good career so far and I can comfortably put him in my best managers list. He just needs to be managing the right team for himself. Tottenham weren't the right team obviously. But he managed another Premier League team very nicely which were Chelsea. Now the Red Devils are after him.

On the other hand the probability of Allegri to get sacked is getting higher indeed. If the seat at Juventus get available then Conte might want to go back to where he was the most successful in his career as well.    It is up to him but honestly I want to watch him in the Premier League once again at a different team this time.

Haha there are not titles for Manchester United to be won except for the FA Cup where it is probably Manchester City waiting for them in the final. Other than that, Manchester United finished last in the Champions League group stage against Galatasaray and Copenhagen. If that sounds to you as if they are doing their job as one of the most important clubs in the world, ok then that's fine. But Manchester United is having big problems for a very long time and I can't see how that could be seen as a team that is doing its job.

They are going to miss the CL qualification this season, they are out of the League Cup, they didn't win four games in a row now in the Premier League. Well done, ten Hag.

The Red Devils have numerous potential players and they will also continue to push for more this summer. Manchester United having hard times this season but it doesn't mean they wouldn't do their job to lifts major titles. Kobbie Mainoo is an uprising youngster that have proven himself in club and country level football. Erik Ten Hag have seen him as the future of Manchester United and also England headcoach, Gareth Southgate appear to see his potentials, he's breaking limits in all standards.

I do agree that Mainoo is a great future prospect without a doubt. Along with Hojlund and Garnacho, we could say that Mainoo is the future of the club and doing fine. By the way, people are acting as if others are old, but the reality is that Bruno is only 29 years old, and Dalot is only 25, Rashford only 26, Scott is only 27 years old.

So United doesn't really have anything that big, we could consider United to be a good team for a good while and I think people are overreacting. With a better manager I am sure that they will do fine, they just need someone who can turn them into a good team. This will of course require them to get a great manager, but I am not sure who that new manager should be, it will definitely be a bit hard.

Conte is juventus and juventus is conte. I strongly agree if juventus keen to recruit him back as a coach. I don't even see a good candidate other than him at this moment. Allegri shall leave from the club as soon as possible. It must be noted that if club must be also performing even better than before.

I don't even see a reliable name to replace allegri other than conte which has been fully known about juventus. I remember when conte was recording a record with juventus. I hope that conte will able to bring it back again soon.

Conte has rejected napoli but no confirmation regarding united's offer to him. I can assume he has also rejected it too if there was a real offer came from united.

Kobbie Mainoo is on the rise, he was reportedly a target for big European teams including Real Madrid. However it seems that Manchester United will immediately take further steps to extend his contract so that he doesn't let it go. I'm sure that Mainoo has special qualities that need to be explored further, but it all depends on the coach and Ten Hag doesn't seem to be able to do that well. I mean Ten Hag is not the type of coach who has a sense of pride, his ego always comes first. I know Ten Hag has ambition but on the other hand he doesn't realize the potential that Manchester United players have. In fact Manchester United does not lack quality players but the coach is not qualified to manage it all.

I think they have made the right decision. Because he is an important player for them at this moment.
So, if they sell him, they will have to at least bring in a similar level of player if not better. You know, they cannot do that with 60 million.
I actually don’t think they will be able to do that with 80 million as well.

But I understand that they also need money. So I am not going to blame them if they actually sell him. However,  I also think at the same time that it is not worth it to sell a player who is playing well for the team trying to save some money. Yes, 80 million is a good price for him. I want to be surprised if Barcelona somehow manages to get something more than that.

It seems Conte is going to be back at work after being away for one season. Conte is well known for the good performance he had in Juventos and he had the best performance on Juventus in Serie A and got more points in the history of all teams in the Serie A with Juventus.
He was working in Tottenham and he got fired from this team, but there are still some teams that want to hire Cnote because of the good performance he had before.
Manchester United is not happy with Ten Hag and they linked to Conte. Other than Manchester United, it seems Juvenstos wants to stop working with Allegri and they want Conte back to the team.

I don't think if Barcelona can ever find a coach like Xavi which the current financial situation they have. We know there are many experienced coaches in the world but these coaches will ask for a huge amount of money and they won't work there in Barcelona with the current situation is this team. While it seems Xavi was the coach who asked for some players and Barcelona couldn't hire these players while he had a good performance in Barcelona. That's why maybe the best thing they can do is to extend the contract of Xavi for a longer time.

It's the right thing and step to make, he has been nothing but brilliance which has brought him this far, it was earned and merited. He will be going for his very first European Competition in the next few months and I'm more than pleased to see his massive development and rise in his career.
Hopefully he doesn't buys into his own hype ahead in the future and keep his head locked into the game for Manchester United and doesn't fall off like Marcus Rashford and other players who have from the Manchester United academy.

His abilities and qualities has brought clubs like Real Madrid and Barcelona all rooting to make him a part of them team. Manchester United knows the in built qualities and wouldn't let him go easily.
Top lad for Manchester United and Erik Ten Hag, so many youngins are breaking into the first team just like him and it's great to see.

The limitations possessed by Barcelona at this time of course make them must be able to utilize existing resources to save club expenses but still maintaining Barcelona's chances of continuing to compete in La Liga next season, Xavi's decision to leave Barcelona is certainly a big question at the moment even though we know the relationship between Barcelona and Xavi is very good and even reportedly Xavi will not take his last season's salary at Barcelona in order to maintain Barcelona's finances To stay stable, what Xavi is doing now is inseparable from his love for Barcelona and I think Barcelona will no longer find another coach besides Xavi who really cares more about Barcelona than money.

Now it is reported that Rafael Marquez will replace Xavi next season, I think maybe the appointment of Rafael Marquez as a senior coach will make them not have to spend a lot of money but still it is a gamble for Barcelona, Rafael Marquez previously coached Barcelona B so he has been familiar with Barcelona's game scheme so far, so I think he will not need much time in adapting Barcelona later,  But the gamble I mean is that the atmosphere of coaching Barcelona B and seniors is of course very different so maybe Rafael Marquez will have a lot of pressure in the face of competition in competitions like La Liga and the Champions League later.

According to the latest news, Barcelona is no longer looking for a potential replacement for Xavi; if he does leave, despite being asked to stay, then the new head coach will be Rafael Marquez, coach of the Barcelona reserve team. A completely logical decision given Barcelona’s financial capabilities and, in general, this is a continuation of their “traditional” search for a head coach among former players within the club.

In PSG, Mbappe is one key man that they don't want to give off yet. Even though his contract is set to expire by summer, they still know he's advantageous and would want to keep him. For Mbappe, his stay in the team beyond and after the expiration of the contract seems to be dependent on his intentions as well as the teams performance in the long run.

 Good thing for him that Madrid may not really be interested in him yet until summer so he's got to be a bit patient till then, then maybe, he'd be willing to join the Spanish side. Even though Liverpool were questing for him as well, i didn't think they were set to afford that amount for him during the January transfer window. Let's just anticipate summer break whilst watching his movement decision unfold.

 Real Madrid has even been performing at their best without a stable striker in the team, then we think of how much more they'd perform if they eventually get a striker for themselves. Left for me, they're doing just fine without a striker. They've in the team a lot of youngsters that are doing excellent in their general balling ability. But still they just have to have for themselves a striker that'd be majored on that role of goal scoring and they won't have to be using a false forward in their games.

 Well before now, Mbappe was a prospect but Ancelloti has said for now he won't be making any change to his squad and he's comfortable with them. I believe they have what it takes to get the species of forward they want in the team and the team's commitment and bond would really boost their results.

When Xavi announced that he was going to leave Barcelona at the end of the season, he said that he felt a lot of pressure. I think the Barcelona management and the fans should have been more optimistic about Xavi in those days. They are going through one of the most difficult situations in their history financially. Of course, everyone should be criticized, including Xavi, but when I look at the current circumstances, I think Xavi has been criticized too much. He should have stayed at Barcelona for the new season. I think he deserves it.

This is definitely a bad look for the club and also the player as well. But I think the club actually did well to fix or at least handle the problem.
As far as I know, he was a better player. But his career has gone on a downward spiral. And doing these things definitely does not help his cause. now he is not going to train or even play with the team. I am also hearing that he is not eligible to use any facilities of the club as well. it's basically a paid leave. We all know this thing is not that bad in any other job. But when it comes to tennis sports or any athlete, it can be detrimental to his career. And I don't understand why he wouldn’t play just because he was not chosen for the starting 11. he ain't that special.

Although still only 18 years old but he has managed to make brilliant and consistent performances with Manchester United at this time, since being promoted to the first team, Kobbie Mainoo is able to answer every challenge that exists and even his performance is often still better than the senior midfielders owned by Manchester United at this time, so I think Kobbie Mainoo deserves to play regularly with the Red Devils,  I see Kobbie Mainoo is very solid when even he has to pair with experienced players like Casemiro in midfield, so far I see his performances can change Manchester United's game in important matches and his ability is proven when he was able to score against Liverpool at that time.

Kobbie Mainoo is currently starting to become the target of many big teams, so it is better that Manchester United can tie Kobbie Mainoo to a long-term contract as a club asset in the future, I think if later Kobbie Mainoo is able to maintain his performance at Manchester United, of course he will continue to be able to get the main place in the Red Devils squad next season, currently Kobbie Mainoo has a market value that is quite fantastic for a young midfielder which is 37 million euros so that I think the price will continue to increase as he performs.
