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.

It is true that when a club sets such a high price for a player, it actually says that this player is not for sale, but if a buyer is found for such a high price and they will be able to make an appropriate replacement, for this money. On the other hand, I constantly see how prices for players are constantly rising, if earlier it was a wonder to hear the amount of 100 million, now it has become the norm for almost any top club.

130 million euros is too high for him even though he performed well at Newcastle but for a club that buys a player at too high a price there is a risk of incurring losses because there is no guarantee that he will perform as well or adapt well in his first season.
With the price set by Newcastle, it is actually a rejection of any club that wants this player.
Alexander Isak scored 15 goals for Newcastle with 1 assist and at his young age his future is quite bright, especially if he can get a better club, but still 130 million euros is too high for him, unless the team that wants him is Chelsea who are always willing to pay high for the players he is targeting, and I am sure that with the price set by Newcastle, Tottenham are out of the hunt.

If he is called as the "new Gabriel Jesus" then I don't know how bright his future would be.    Joking aside it is really difficult to say something about this player considering there aren't any proper statistics to take into consideration. He is really young of course and if he has a big talent he would surely be signed by a big European team sooner or later.

He is quite a versatile player as far as I can see. He can play on both wings and as an attacking midfielder at the same time. Big teams would love to have such players with talent.    The reason why I said that about Gabriel Jesus is his not being able to develop good enough. Especially the recent injuries have been an obstacle.

I'm more confident that Newcastle will keep Alexander Isak in the next few seasons because I'm sure Arsenal or Spurs won't want to spend 130m just for 1 player and Arsenal usually prefer to look for players who are younger and have a price below 100 million.
Isak contract period with Newcastle is still very long and Newcastle condition is currently in an inconsistent state which requires support from players like Alexander Isak.
so it is very likely that they will be retained and the reason why Newcastle said they would let the player go was if another team was able to spend a large amount of money, in fact that is just one way of retaining the player because surely Spurs and Arsenal will also think longer about spending 130m.

this case is the same as the offer made by Napoli last season when Osimhen was offered at a price of 100 million and it was an effort to retain the player.

Alexander Isak the player of Newcastle had an amazing performance in all the games we saw from this team so far and because of the good performance he had in Newcastle, it seems there are some teams that want to have this player for the next season.
Tottenham and Arsenal are two teams that sent offers for Alexander Isak. However, Newcastle said they are not going to let Alexander Isak leave unless they pay 130 million euros for this player which is a huge amount of money for any team but I don't think if they can even make the team to spend this money for a player like Alexander Isak.

Selling raphinha? Barcelona has no other solution than this. This makes me feel very skeptical with barcelona right now. The club is performing even worse financially and barcelona may not able to get up again in the future.
It's hard to pick which was the best solution for this since barcelona is suffering huge lose. Let's wait from which barcelona will get additional money to compete with chelsea in getting him. Im doubting barcelona this time.

The main problem is barcelona doesn't have a lot of money to buy the players. Many players who have projected to leave from the club decided to stay even longer in barcelona and it means that if club must have paid more.
Laporta is feeling confusing now on how to get additional money to buy the new players. It's hard to think on what plan prepared by laporta to get a new player. it's caused by barcelona has no other option than selling the players.
The club is performing even better than before and it must be noted that if laporta is also having trouble with a big debt owned by barcelona and it's still getting unpaid.

Yes that is right. Barcelona is going through difficult times financially and they cannot spend 51 million Euros to transfer a 16-year-old player because the player will not be able to join Barcelona until he turns 18. They will have to wait 2 years to get a contribution from him. For Chelsea, this money is easy to pay. I think the team that will make the transfer easier is Chelsea.

I believe that this will be Luka Modric's final season with Real Madrid. I haven't seen Real Madrid allow many older players to stay longer than Modric, and part of the reason for this is his physical makeup and longevity. I also think that Real Madrid will want him to leave if mbape decides to join the team. Despite Vinicius's refusal to give Mbappe a number 7 shirt when he wants to join Real Madrid, they should have given him the number 10 clothes to wear in order to resolve the issue rather than selecting a different number that might cause confusion.

To be honest, I don't think MBappe will join Real Madrid because he is the kind of player that you can't trust. After what he did to Real Madrid over the course of two seasons, I don't believe him anymore. The only thing that will convince me to believe is if I hear from Fabrizo that MBappe has signed a contract and I see MBappe wearing Real Madrid gear. I also think Modric should play for one or two seasons before retiring from the game, but he would prefer to stay at Real Madrid.

Yeah, I have pictured them winning the Champions League Competition already up in my head with Antonio Conte. ( Little fantasies of mine though )
With Olivier Giroud leaving, they would be exploring the market, Maybe Romelu Lukaku? Because they've both worked together and and had a huge successfull season together.

Antonio Conte has a good understanding of the Seria A Competition and I'm sure he'll do just fine as expected. Though, I feel like he's got his big eyes on the Bayern Munich job. He would definitely successfully win the next Bundesliga League Competition and also the Champions League Competition.

Coaches who have failed before in the Champions League finals always go ahead to win in another club. A good example was Thomas Tuchel who failed to win with Paris Saint Germans and went ahead to win with Chelsea. Many more falls under this case scenario though.
I honestly feel like since he took Juventus to the finals against Barcelona, he hasn't done well in the Champions League.  Let's hope for what's to come anyways.

Greenwood to the Juventus? It is possible, given that Manchester United was very interested in recruiting Bremmer from Juventus but bremmer's price is quite expensive and it makes mu think an alternative solution for this. United prepares greenwood to be included in the deal with juventus to get bremmer. MU was desperate to make it happen, and it may make getafe has lost chance to get greenwood. I makes me curious why doesn't united sell greenwood then buy bremmer from juventus? This story will totally make sense rather than try to put him as a part of buying clause between united and juventus.

It appears that Ten Hag has begun to run this mission. I can only hope that he will be a successful transfer for United and no more flops like what he did with onana and mason mount. Manchester United is now seriously strengthening its defensive line, which may lead to some players leaving the club to be sacrificed in order adding more value to the united's offer. Im seeing this as a very good decision from united's management. We may be seeing a new united next season. The defensive line needs to be overhauled.

Yes, Serie A clubs seem to have difficulty competing in major competitions, starting with Milan, who were eliminated first in the Champions League, followed by Inter Milan and Napoli, who were eliminated in the round of 16, while other top clubs, Milan, Roma and Atalanta, are still competing in the European League, however. We also don't know for sure whether they will also be eliminated in the European League if in the end they are all eliminated. There are no Serie A representative clubs who will get this prestigious title. I think this happens because competition in big competitions is more difficult than competition in domestic leagues. and the squad gap also has a big influence on the strength of the club's performance and is probably because the Serie A coaches are not very good at tactics.

Antonio Conte is indeed an experienced coach in Serie A because Antonio Conte continued to win domestic titles when he coached Serie A clubs, he gave Juventus the Scudetto many times and also gave a similar title to Inter Milan, although only once, but at least he also made good history in Serie A. It's a shame that he has to be unemployed after coaching an English club. I think one of the Serie A clubs should try to think about taking this coach back to Serie A. I really want to see him at Juventus again next season if Juventus fires Allegri.

What's actually wrong with these Seria A top clubs this season? They're finding it challenging too win matches and this have flew beyond the capability of some of these coaches, more referring to Napoli new coach, Francesco Calzona, though he's trying but he needs improvement if he wants Napoli president. Also looking at one of the important faces in football, Antonio Conte is one of the prominent coach we have in the space and having watch how he risen elite clubs, I think he cam manage any club in the world of European football. Conte is no newbie in the system, I'm pretty sure one of these elite teams will surely need his services.

For the substitution player, I think it is no problem if Real Madrid extends his contract. Real Madrid must extend for 1 year only with an option of leaving Real Madrid in the end of the season. As long as Modric still can contributed well for Real Madrid, his age shouldn't be a problem. But it will be a problem for Modric, he must expect to have a longer time to play and he doesn't want to sit on the bench in each match.

Modric must decide anything carefully. If he moves to Saudi League, there is no guarantee to success there. He may end up like Benzema, he may face a problem with fitness and can't play as Saudi club's expectation. It may be a bad ending for his career as a professional footballer. But if he stays in Real Madrid, he may only spend most time in the bench.

Real Madrid isn't a too strong team, Real Madrid actually has a problem with their defense and attacking line. However, it is true that the departure of Modric won't hurt club because Real Madrid already has some top midfielders. Federico Valverde, Jude Bellingham, Dani Ceballos, and Eduardo Camavinga can replace Modric position. Real Madrid also still has Toni Kroos in their squad.

Ancelotti offered Modric to begin a new career as a coach by joining Real Madrid coaching staff for the next season. Modric will help Ancelotti in planning the tactics or strategies for Real Madrid. Modric will also help Ancelotti to improve the quality of Real Madrid midfielders skills. He will be very helpful if he wants to accept Ancelotti's offer.

Since sacked by Tottenham Conte has no club and he is experience manager and previously he can able to gets several trophies with Inter Milan and Juventus so he know Serie A teams with very well and maybe Conte will be suitable to train Napoli and reported Napoli even have to compete with Bayern Munich to gets him this because Bayern Munich too still look for new manager and Conte name was appears as the candidate for that team but it says Napoli are willing to pay Conte a high salary if he is willing to become an their next manager and Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis even offering fully control for transfer players which mean Conte can decide by himself to bought or sell the players and Aurelio De Laurentiis also said he will give Conte huge funds for transfer players but Napoli is compeletely messed up this season and their problem is hard to be solved so if this rumour is true i think Conte has hard jobs for this team moreover Napoli will lost some players and one of them is Osimhen who targetting by big clubs just like PSG

Modric is one experienced player in Real Madrid and he has in himself enough dedication to help the team's growth and advancement. He's the oldest payer in the team currently and he's spent so many years with different minds working together and he's made a huge impact to the team being a part of most of their successes.

 His contract will expire by the end of the season and he's got just two options, to remain with the team or to move out of European football. No doubt both options are good but a better option for me would him moving out of Europe to the Saudi league. There he'd be able to accumulate his finances too and even impact the league in his own way. Saudi will so be eager to welcome him and for Real Madrid, of course they'd miss him but it'll give them room to nurture younger players.

 Modric is definitely a good asset to every team as he delivers well in his position without fault. Real Madrid's midfield is very much solid, they've got good hands in charge, the likes of Luka, Bellingham, Kroos and others. Luka and Kroos have been older in the team and they've mastered all the tactics and techniques of Ancelloti. They're more or less the leaders and they're coordinating other bodies well. They're literally a good example too.

 They've been able to be the support the young players need to push and forge further. For Bellingham, he's been a potential asset to the team, a trained midfielder, performing perfectly in the forward position. He's now become a versatile player and that's one quality that a coach really craves for in his team and every player needs to activate in themselves that skill too. Real Madrid still has lots of exploits to do with these boys and the coach is the right man for the job in grooming them into better men for the future Madrid.

For this season, it is exactly as you said, none of the players who joined United or Chelsea last summer have stood out. I see that the fault lies with their managers, where Ten Hag and Pochettino failed to bring out the best potential from their players. Indeed, injury is another reason that can be used here, but it is completely irrelevant for a full season.

I think everyone is confused by Chelsea and United management policy this season when bringing in players, and releasing their experienced players. As happened with Chelsea this season, where Ziyech and Lukaku shone even more at their new club, Pochettino has clearly failed to see the player potential. Meanwhile, Ten Hag also did not escape negative attention when he did not utilize the potential of players like Jadon Sancho, it has been proven that at Dortmund he has become an important part of their main squad.

I think United and Chelsea will have difficulty finding quality players in the next transfer window, because these two clubs will not appear in the Champions League next season, therefore it will be difficult for the players they are targeting to be invited to join. It could be that, if Chelsea and United fire their coaches, the clubs can develop for the better next season.

AC Milan has a nice squad so it wouldn't be a bad decision if Antonio Conte decides to move to the club and mere watching at the play nature of AC Milan, I believe that Antonio Conte can do very well over there. Rumors or no rumors, it is believed that even if Antonio Conte didn't succeed to move to AC Milan, clubs like Arsenal, Bayern Munich are still very important teams he can move into so there is no doubt that Antonio Conte can perform very well wherever he finds himself.
