When one succeeds he gets the praises because he’s doing what he’s hired for and when he fails he gets the criticisms because he’s not making the fans and board happy. A club performing poorly could lose quite a lot in terms of investments and partnerships. This season Juventus were under fire at a point this season and that caused a lot of criticisms, the team and one big characteristics of a good manager is changing the face of the team when it’s in her dying stage and that was what Allegri did and many started seeing them as one team that could pose a threat to Inter Milan.

 Well the party is over already and now Juventus have had some poor results which wasn’t expected though but they’re a football team and football is a game. I think the fans should take it easy as they don’t expect to have great results match in and out as this same Allegri have also won for them the Scudetto and they should know that the league is quite competitive and other teams also want to shine. Spaletti is said to be one of the huge favorites to replace Allegri and I think that’s not a great option right now though except he’s mentally ready.

 Spaletti together with Osimhen was responsible for handing Napoli to her major trophy in over 30 years of waiting. Yes he can do same with Juventus but the club also must be ready to spend on the purchase of players. Allegri time at the club is up and I think what he can try to do is to help the club finish 2nd and I think he would get the applauds but will still leave. Juventus should be wary of rushing to get a replacement else they might be forced to search for Allegri again when the need arises.

Luis Guilherme is a young player who I have continuously heard lately in several news reports that this young player is being linked with several big clubs and in my opinion it is very feasible because Luis Guilherme, although he has not shown his best skills, the talent he has is clearly visible at several big clubs. believes that these young players will be a big investment in the future, this is why any big club will be able to spend large amounts of money on young players like Luis Guilherme.
I was thinking, isn't it too early if one of the popular clubs like Liverpool or other big clubs takes the risk of bringing in these young players who don't have any guarantees yet.
But I am very sure that if there is a big possibility that Dortmund can get Luis Guilherme, he will definitely be a very reliable player and have a very high price.

This is definitely the biggest "what if" in football. you know he had the potential to be the best, only because of injuries he was even unable to unlock his full potential. He left Barcelona to get out of the shadow of Lionel Messi, and in PSG he had to live under the shadow of Mbappe. He is definitely the Player who had the potential to be even better than both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, but in the end he was nowhere near that.

Maybe if he did play for a big club for longer period of time there is a chance he could have actually achieved something more. but it is actually hard to think he would actually have been successful.

Anyway I personally that his career is going to have a little more longevity at least compared to Cristiano Ronaldo. but in the end his career was actually short lived compared to both of them. now the only thing left for him is probably to get back to Brazil and maybe have some respect from his people.

Alexander Isak is a well-known footballer for those who play FM.😅 He was one of the great wonderkids in FM 2017. He was an athletic, fast and young footballer. Now he has also managed to become a good goalscorer. The €130 million that was talked about for his transfer fee seemed a lot to me too, but Newcastle United signed him for €70 million if I remember correctly. Alexander Isak is a footballer with high potential. In the right team and system he can do much better things.

Indeed Newcastle United's performance not quit well and drop to 8th standings position but difference with their striker Alexander Isak had impressive performance in this season after scoring 15 goals of 22 matches in Premier League. Its very good statistic and I think many teams interested for sign him on the next season, but Alexander Isaak keep loyal with Newcastle United and won't to play with other team until his contract expiry.

Newcastle United has opportunity without participants in European competition if failed to reach to six position standings, questionable for Alexander Isaak will stay with Newcastle United next season without playing in Champion League and Europe League or acceptable the interested team has chance for playing in champion league.

And keep in mind that his statistic isn't outrageously good. He has scored 15 goals and out of those 15, 4 goals were scored by penalties. I would never put that guy at any three figure value, never.

As you said, top players like Leao or Musiala are worth that money, but not Isak. I am not sure about Osimhen at the moment as he isn't quite able to repeat what he has done last season. But I think these price tags suggest that a player should be able to maintain top form over the course of several subsequent seasons. It isn't enough to score a high number of goals one season and then play subpar the next season. Osimhen is at 11 goals for the season so far. That's not enough for a world class center forward. Leao is a different type of player. He is not mainly responsible for scoring goals. His main task is to assist and confuse the opponents's defense with his speed and technique.

Musiala is an amazing player with his impressive body weight balance. I never understand how he is doing many of his movements. It looks as if he was supposed to crash on the floor, but yet again stays up and makes some unexpected move.

Look at their midfield, they have camavinga, tchouameni, jude, valverde and maybe some other players that I am missing at midfield and all of them are young players. This doesn't mean that Modric is a bad player, he is still a great player but Real do not really "need" him. That means Modric needs to start looking for somewhere he can go to this summer, otherwise things will not be great for them.

I personally believe that the best thing to do in this case would be going to Saudi league if he can get a lot of money. He is old, he won't make a big impact on any other team, and he could make more money there in 2 seasons than he did all of his life. So, it looks like Saudi league would be the best place to go for Modric.

I understand your all logic about this but here also have to understand one thing more as maybe Newcastle United don't want to sell their player so just because of this they are having price tag like this on Isak which is doing impressive performance for them as most chances we will have some improvement in coming season as well because things are going to take good changes in coming season for them after having terrible season due to injuries and suspension of players.

Chelsea already have the good number of quality players, so I have feeling they don't need to invest in coming season they just need to have some depth into their team which is more important for them instead of having any new player now we will have too much news about few players in coming days as we are heading for the end of this season.

Isak will not leave from the club. The recent update from romano about him breaks all of rumors. Isaak has confirmed that he is feeling very happy to play in Newcastle. He will not go to another club. He was in newcaslte for a big project by PIF. I think that it's all about rumors.

I don't really believe that price was true. It's caused by it can still be negotiated but since isaak has confirmed himself to stay and no reason to talk about him even further.

Correct, Isak is nothing without Guimaraes and Trippier, most of his goals are just tap-in. His market value is 74 Million Euros, which I think overvalued, his market value should be around 40-50 Million Euros. Asking 130 Million Euros is way too much, it's better to spend that money to sign Leao, Osimhen, Musiala etc.

Just because Isak has a good statistic, it doesn't mean he's a top player.

Amazing!!!! that's the only word that i can give it to the simeone inzaghi.

His achievements have been helping intermilan to perform better by winning so many trophies. I'd like to add that if simeone was also helping intermilan financiall by giving the club a very big income. As reported by football italy

https://football-italia.net/inzaghi-brings-over-revenue-inter/
Inzaghi adds intermilan to the positive trend. The club is now frequently winning trophies, and it is gradually resolving financial issues caused by Intermilan's large income since Diego Simeone joined the club has been helping the club a lot in adding more budgets for the various things. No doubt, interimlan intends to extend his contract even further.
The deal will be made by Simeone and Intermilan in the coming months but i don't know when since the article was not mentioning about the deadline for the deal between simeone inzaghi  and management. It most likely before the end of the summer transfer season. If Intermilan continues to perform well, it may be able to resolve its financial issues encountered by interimlan since it was having bad management. Glad to see that the management was able finding someone who was helping the club a lot to get money. 

I think that intermilan's debt can be fully paid off probably at the end of this decade if simeone inzaghi is gonna be a long term coach for intermilan. 

Most times, club only set high release clause or fee on players if they don’t actually wants to leave the players at that moment of their contract, mostly, these players are either very important to the squad and there is a demand from other teams, they set huge money so that any team that can pay that high will just take the player; on the other hand, if they buy the player with huge amount of money, and the player start having issues with the management, and if they sell him at that moment, they will sell him at lost, they tends to set release clause on the player so that any team that will sign the player will pay the team that money so as not be like they lost money on the player.

Yes, I think the price is too high. Maybe if Newcastle wants to let him go, negotiations might result in a fairly large price reduction from Newcastle's asking price.
It's not just Tottenham who are rumored to be interested in Isak. Arsenal are reportedly also interested in getting the player's signature.

Tottenham are not an ambitious club to spend large amounts of money, and I'm not sure they would pay that price. Unless you really insist on getting his signature, there are still options for players whose value is affordable and can have the same effect. It all comes back to the context of Spurs pursuit and demand. For Isak, whose price tag of 130 million is too much, he still doesn't have much experience at his age. Newcastle only took advantage of the situation when Isak performance was improving, but we'll see if Newcastle succeeds in improving the situation in the Premier League? I think it actually shows a decline compared to last season. And don't forget Joe Lewis is not the type of person who likes to waste money on one player.

Currently, many clubs are controlled by rich companies and are ready to spend a lot of money to buy players. In my opinion, this is an unhealthy market shown by the club. Just look at what's happening to Barcelona right now. Previously they could buy players at high prices, but in the end when they lost star players who could attract many investors and sponsors, the club suffered financially. Expensive player salaries do not come with sales of players. This harm the club's finances because of bad money management.

Chelsea should have learned lessons that big players don't lead to quality football. However, this experience would not stop them from going for top players because the team still needs quality players to excel in several campaigns. With the flop of Christopher Nkunku, Alexander Isak might be a good replacement because he has become one of the most clinical strikers in the English premier league. The 24-year-old Swedish striker has scored 29 goals and given 4 assists in 60 games, I don't think he is worth £100k. He should be within the rank of £70-75m and might increase if his performance improves by next season.

Arsenal lost the opportunity to sign the young striker for £37m, maybe they don't want to miss this opportunity because the striker might improve and get more expensive in the future. Newcastle will be very willing to sell the Swedish international because it will help them to balance their books and could also secure some cheap quality players.

Leny Yoro has been linked with Real Madrid for quite some time but it looks like the competition to get the Lille central defender will not be easy because several elite English clubs such as Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea are also in the hunt to secure his contract signature. This certainly doesn't make it easy for Real Madrid to get him this summer and Leny Yoro also said he wants a new challenge.

Real Madrid must be able to convince him to join and considering that Real Madrid currently has not many center back options, Leny Yoro could be the right solution for that. Apart from that, it is possible that Leny Yoro will also be included in the next generation of players for Los Blancos considering that Rudiger and Alaba are also getting older with age. Leny Yoro could be a good duet option with Eder Militao in defense.

Where will Leny Yoro be next season? Is it to Real Madrid or to one of the EPL teams above?

I'd be very surprised if Chelsea went for him at that price, considering how terrible their recent expensive signings were. Whether they can do some tricks to reduce the yearly payment getting another player as expensive as Enzo or Lavia is not a good thing for them when they can't even perform to an acceptable standard. Anyone in charge of these signings needs to be fired quickly unless they want to remain mid-table teams for the next 3-5 seasons. It is also bad for the market if every player is priced so ridiculously expensive like that, only the top 4 clubs or so will significantly strengthen their squads if that is the case imo.

Isak is a pretty good striker and with Newcastle he can play better than when he was at Real Sociedad previously, we admit Isak is one of the talented Swedish players but for the price pegged by Newcastle of course it doesn't make sense at the moment, I think Tottenham, Arsenal and even Chelsea will immediately back down hearing the asking price by Newcastle for a player who has scored 15 goals.

I think the possible withdrawal of Tottenham, Arsenal and Chelsea is not because they can't afford 130 million euros, but I think it's too risky to buy a young player at such a high price and even when he has only been two seasons in the Premier League, even when we look at his current market value which does not exceed 75 million euros so indeed the price pegged by Newcastle is really beyond logic at the moment,  With 130 million euros of course Tottenham, Arsenal and Chelsea will be able to get 2 other players who may be better than Isaak at the moment, besides that reportedly Arsenal and Chelsea are fighting for one more Swedish talent namely Viktor Gyokeres who is still better than Isak, I think even the price pegged by Sporting is not higher than Newcastle for their talented young attacker.

Even if it's like hype, I think it's quite reasonable if he is valued like that, although I agree that it's too big for Isak.
Currently Isak has always been an important part and not only at Newcastle but indeed at his previous club he was also like that so Newcastle wants profit after previously they bought this player more than 70 million so surely when this player is in demand then the value will be given greater because Newcastle is also a businessman so I am not too strange if you see a clause of this size for Isak.

Indeed in terms of current performance he seems mediocre and it seems to be an unavoidable situation when Isak always has some problems in his legs but when talking about performance on the field, posture and his current age then I think it's a little natural for Newcastle to give a large clause even though this seems imposing because the value is not too fitting for an Isak because it looks higher.
