In my opinion, these are absolutely stupid rumors/assumptions. No matter how unlucky Bayern may be this season, Kane has excellent statistics at this club (which means he feels good there), plus Bayern is now in the semi-finals of the Champions League and will also participate next year (unlike Chelsea). I don't see any reason why Kane would move to Chelsea.

Maybe you already reading the news about Darwin Nunez, this Liverpool player was called as the worst finisher in the European league according to ESPN^[1]. This assessment can reduce the selling value in the upcoming transfer market. It was brought in for 85 million euros, but currently the valuation is only 70 million euros. However, until now there is no rumors that Darwin will become Liverpool selling list in the summer transfer market. What do you think about Darwin, do you believe Darwin will stay at Liverpool next season?

Sir Jim Ratcliffe, as the large owner of Manchester United shares, has reportedly contacted Thomas Tuchel as the new coach if Manchester United part ways with Erik Ten Hag. It seems that Sir Jim Ratcliffe is not quite satisfied with the results provided by Erik Ten Hag with the Red Devils and because while he still has the opportunity, he has approached Thomas Tuchel, who has also been confirmed to be leaving Bayern Munich at the end of the season.

But is it the right decision if Manchester United recruits Thomas Tuchel? Remembering that with Bayern Munich he has failed to defend the Bundesliga title which he has won for 11 seasons and now only has the chance to win the Champions League. I doubt that Manchester United will be better, especially since Manchester United will start from scratch with a new coach later.

Luiz Diaz been a very good advantage to the English side Liverpool having a wish to showcase himself on the Spanish La Liga platform is kind of a sad news to his English club being that the team as a whole have grown fond of him being a building block and a full time contributor to how balanced and stable the team has turned out to be.

 He's been an effective midfielder who knows how well and best to deliver his role assigned till the last minute. It'll only be an enduring loss to Liverpool if his move out of the club is finalized and I must say, his absence will be felt for a while in the club.Talking about his wish to join a Spanish side, Barcelona have their eyes on the midfielder after seeing how well and advantageous he's been to the Premier League team and also seeing that he'll add impact to his position when he replaced Ousmane Dembele.

 Well it's understandable that a team as big as them would go for him. He's a prospect and he's got advantages too. Well his move won't be much of a tough decision because he already has a wish and when he's seen the offer from a team as mighty to some extent as Barcelona, well it'll only be advisable that he accepts and work with the club to the best of his ability. It'll be good to watch and follow up on his performances with the Spanish side too.

For Erik ten Hag to think that leading Manchester United to the finals of the English FA Cup is a big achievement, then i think he truly doesn't understand the value of the club he's currently managing and that's the more reason why Manchester United management as a matter of urgency must start to make better plans for the club's managerial position if they don't have anyone in place already because their current manager simply do not have what it takes to help the club get back to their traditional status.
There are great managers that are currently out of job and it'll be the best decision for Manchester United to try sign one of them instead of allowing Erik ten Hag remain at the club beyond the current season. The club can not continue to be with a manager who continues to reduce the standard of the club.

That true because each coach will have his own point of view regarding each player he has, the coach will have the authority to determine who will be kept and who will be sold or replaced by another player who is considered to be much better.
Pep is great coach with unquestionable experience, with Barcelona in the past Pep also often did things like this and I don't think it was the wrong decision because he also led Barcelona to win several competitions.
Now Pep is with Manchester City and he really understands what to do with the squad he trains, in the end we all know that his hard work and decisions have indeed succeeded in producing great achievements for Manchester City.

When it comes to Ronaldo and Messi, they are two football stars who will never be forgotten, in fact there is no other player from anywhere who can replace these two great players.
I don't think it necessary to talk about them.

If this news by Football Insider has some solid truth in it then this could be the reason why Manchester City is interested in signing Musiala from Bayern Munich.  

According to the source Manchester City are open to offers for Grealish this summer. I don't see any reason why for Manchester City not to replace him with a player like Musiala either honestly. I don't find Grealish's performance as impressive as the previous season. In case of there is an opportunity for Musiala Manchester City should go for it by sacrificing Grealish in my opinion. Musiala is a player with much bigger potential and he is much younger as well. But it won't be easy to get him from Bayern Munich. 

I don't know why Ange Postecoglou's contract duration is so long even though Tottenham don't know what this coach's performance will be like in the future and he has never previously coached an English club so it is very natural that Tottenham's performance is not able to compete with other top clubs. It is even quite difficult to be in the zone Champions League for Tottenham even though he still has a chance to overtake Aston Villa but I'm not sure Tottenham will consistently win even though his recent performance has not been very stable. Even though he has a fairly long contract but I think Tottenham can fire him at any time if Tottenham doesn't there is quite a good change this season. Tottenham is in the top 5 for a while, at least better than last season which was ranked 8th, but it would be very good if Tottenham were in the top 4 to take part in the Champions League competition next season.

Actually, Ange Postecoglou is not a bad coach, in my opinion he is better than Erik Ten Hag, even though the performance of the two clubs is almost the same. But Manchester United has a busier schedule and that might be what makes Manchester United a little tired, making their performance decrease compared to the season then. While Tottenham itself have no matches other than in the Premier League, it should have given Tottenham a bigger chance to perform well in the Premier League, but unfortunately Ange couldn't make Tottenham appear consistent until the end.

I strongly believe that based on what ten hag stated above and to be honest United's standard has been declining significantly compared before when ten hag was not there. United is now entering into the another bad era when a garbage coach like him gets chance to stay even longer in the club. United was one of Europe's biggest clubs, and Ten Hag still considers it on par with Ajax. I believe it's time for United to replace its coach. Ten Hag is a disaster owned by Manchester United. He was lowering United's standards by claiming that two finals in two years was acceptable. It's unfortunate that a big club like United was doing this. Sir Jim needs to breplace him asap, and I can't believe what Ten Hag said. Things have been going so badly for ten hag, with him claiming that it was something for United to reach the final twice in two years which is totally crap for a big club like united. Reaching final in any season is a must. Ten Hag has lowered United's standard to match Ajax's.

Harry Kane was transferred to Bayern Munich at the beginning of the season with high hopes. The English footballer contributed 33 goals and 10 assists in 30 matches in the Bundesliga. Kane has performed well individually but this year Munich's poor performance has also affected him.
Harry Kane could leave Bayern Munich next season and return to the Premier League. After disappointing at Bayern Munich, Kane is tempted to play for Chelsea next season. Harry Kane should definitely be in Chelsea's squad for next season. Because Chelsea need someone exactly like Kane. Kane is a consistent footballer but sometimes you need luck on your side. I hope his transfer to Chelsea will happen and we will see his goals in the Premier League again next season.

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.
