Aston Villa in the last 1year have been the highest point takers in the EPL. They've been exceptional at their games, winning almost always and ensuring that they stay at the top chart. No one saw them coming and they've been able to be consistent, keeping home win records this season and they've not failed to cause troubles for teams.

 They've got the capacity to remain on top but I really don't think City who's now below them would let them stay there, so if at all there'd be a change in the standings, then Villa won't go below the 6th position. They're so good to even try qualifying for the UEL next season. As competitive as the EPL has been this year, so far Villa have proven to be strong enough to fight back threats and create value and confidence in the team too.

 Newcastle in weeks have been doing good, they've been surprisingly excellent in a couple of games that they've been underrated in.  They're one team that didn't let the injury situation affect their performance, they were able to keep up with the games and ending them with victories. Even against PSG in both legs of the UCL group stage faceoff, they played in their highness and held PSG to ransom twice. It's just an amazing remark of their performance in football in the past weeks.
 
 Weeks back they lost to Everton which wasn't entirely their fault. They also faced City, a team who's also had huge impact on the league table, they did their best to put in extra effort. Any side had the chance to win even though City are doing exceedingly well, Newcastle were the host and maybe they'd be able to hold down City's pressure.

Yes, I have to look to understand that when it comes to a bidding competition between Chelsea and Barcelona, Chelsea is most probably going to win. But I think the player should wait a little more and look for other options. I think if he is able to wait, he might get offers from Real Madrid, Liverpool, Man City and other big clubs. The situation that Chelsea is in right now, I don't think he should go to Chelsea. Like makes me understand one thing, how can Chelsea perform worse and worse the more they spend money? How is that possible? They have serious problems to fix and until then he should stay away from Chelsea.

Anyway they will only sell him after the end of the season if they want to do so, of course there will be a break and a transfer window when they can both buy a new player and besides, Diaz won't play without a break. For that matter, if he's a professional, he can play all the time, after all, other players don't rest, do they?

I also think the same as you. Real Madrid has no reason to sell Rodrygo. He is one of the key players in Real Madrid attacking line, he contributed very well for Real Madrid since he came to Santiago Bernabéu. Sure, he is also very young and he adapt quickly with Real Madrid game. Ancelotti and Real Madrid must put this player for the future of Real Madrid. So, it doesn't make sense if Real Madrid wants to put him on the transfer list.

Although Real Madrid succeed to sign Mbappe, there is no change with Rodrygo's position. He is a right winger, meanwhile Mbappe is a striker (CF). The arrival of Mbappe won't impact on the position of Rodrygo. We must understand that they have different positions.

I did follow him from last season honestly. Wasn't him the coach that won and knocked out gunner's from the European Europa League Competition?
He is well known for how he handles yougins, but this is the fucking premier league competition and Liverpool is another big club, he should be ready to be slandered if he fails to meet up with whatever standards set up by the management. He will need a season or two to settle down in the Premier League Competition.

I will not say nothing, I feel like Roberto De Zebri had a good understanding of the Premier League Competition and has a great relationship with players and would also be a great option if he is to be considerate. Italian already having the jerk of what the Premier League Competition is and can be.

in the event that, according to the Italian media, the next Juventus coach is increasingly likely to be Tiago Motta with the dismissal of Massimiliano Allegri, negotiations would also open for several Bologna players.

DiMarzio has already started talking about it today, the players Juve are interested in are Zirkee and Calafiori.

The total sum of the valuations of the two players could be close to 100 million euros, in which case the departure of Dusan VChalovic from Juventus seems certain

Real Madrid will not sell young players because they are targeted for the long term and even if, for example, Rodrigo is sold, it will not be based on a need for money. There are many young players in the Real Madrid squad now and they even dared to buy Hendrick at a slightly fantastic price even though he cannot yet join the Real Madrid squad. Selling Rodrigo is not a good decision because he has good talent for the future and I agree that if they want to streamline the squad then the players sold should be older.

It looks like Real Madrid will not downsize their existing players and if Mbappe decides to wear the Real Madrid uniform then their strength will be much more dangerous. It will be eagerly awaited and Mbappe has long been rumored to be leaving, but it seems like the process of moving is still not very clear until now.

It's not all about strong finances sometime clubs needs to sell their players for the better narrative, so this is also happening same with now they are looking for few players which are looking better, and they can take them with good profit like Rodrygo is almost in rang of 100 Million Euro and after selling him they can bring better quality new blood which will give them same services, and also they could be having good profit after selling Rodrygo who is quality player and can do good for any other top club with Arsenal and Liverpool both are interested and things can go favourable for the Liverpool which is going to overhaul their squad in coming season after having new coach.

Even right now, we have no official reports about this with few new players are under their radar, so things can take good change, and we can also have some good transfers which will make things better and improved for the few top clubs here in Europe.

Rodrigo is still a young player who is doing well for Real Madrid. If Ancelotti sells Rodrigo, I believe he would make a tremendous mistake. Even if Mbappe comes to Madrid, he should not leave since Rodrigo has an edge at the club. I doubt Ancelotti will make the decision to sell Rodrigo to another team because he is extremely talented and skilled. Rodrigo has helped the team win the Champions League the last two years by scoring in the 90th minute against Manchester City, allowing Madrid to advance to the finals and face Liverpool, where they won the title. If somebody sells Rodrigo, I doubt even the fan and the president won't be happy. He has played in Madrid and will win numerous trophies  for the club and am very sure you will see how Rodrygo will perform in the Champions League this season because the boy is in real good form this season.

Joshua Zirkzee is currently a Bologna player and he openly hopes that if Milan can sign him next summer, I think as a player of course he wants to have a career at a bigger club like Milan, besides that Milan has been quite friendly to players from the Netherlands and maybe Joshua Zirkzee hopes to follow the success of his senior seniors like Sedorf,  Frank Riijkaard and Van Basten so far, I think what Joshua Zirkzee expects is of course getting a positive response from Milan at the moment, and even reportedly Milan have started talks to buy Joshua Zirkzee next summer in order to replace Giroud who will leave next season.

Looking at the possibility that exists of course the deal will not be difficult to happen, currently Milan need a striker who can indeed replace Giroud, while Bologna will certainly need a lot of money to strengthen their squad next season which will most likely play in the Champions League, although currently Joshua Zirkzee is a striker who is quite sharp but it seems Bologna will not be difficult to release him to Milan because they still have players who have Other scoring high instincts like Ferguson and Orsolini in front line.

IMO, if the club is serious about competing this season, Newcastle can do it. after all, they have a final that can bring in the star players they need. however, the club management did not do so. I mean, before Newcastle got serious about their project, the club still gave Eddie Howe the opportunity to do his best job. Unfortunately, he was unable to make it happen plus many players were injured. My guess is that next season Newcastle will start getting serious about competing in the Premier League. In this way, they will make major changes, including replacing a more competent coach. Thus, Newcastle is serious in competing for the Premier League trophy next season.

As you said, they will release several players and at the same time bring in a coach who can be relied on for the Newcastle squad next season. This is all done, if Newcastle is ready to compete, especially since this team is supported by PIF which has abundant finances. but this is just my personal assumption, we will find out after this season actually ends and how Newcastle faces next summer. specifically, in this summer's transfer window.

If AC Milan doesn't increase their offer, I'm not sure Bologna will let this player go, because Bologna themselves want 75 million to let go of this player, so with the 50 million offered by AC Milan they will reject it. If they want this player then inevitably they have to make a higher offer or they can include a player clause in the offer as you said, that might change Bologna's thinking.

But I'm also not sure how serious they are about wanting this player. and we will probably see that as time goes by. If their current offer is rejected and they come back with a higher offer, then it is very likely that AC Milan really wants this player. But I also don't think AC Milan will fulfill Bologna's wishes and maybe they will come with a final offer of 65 million.

Bologna doesn't need money, but they will look after their players so they can get the numbers they want. they don't want to lose players so easily.

This things happened in football and it has now become something of memories. Reflecting back how PSG spent a lot to get Neymar took the whole world in shock and surprise for a player to be bought with such high price. Later after that, many more players have been bought with prices larger than what Neymar was bought back then by PSG. PAG got the player they wanted but never got to achieve what they wanted through him till date until he left the club. Barcelona also got the money but it had to put them in a lot of debt trying to look for a replacement for the player they sold out for that large money. One thing is clear here, it is not always about the player that can win a trophy for the club but he needs a good coach and a group of great and smart players like him. And for Barcelona, it is not always about the money, the money will come but will still go and you won’t find a better player than the one you sold out when enticed with the money being put forth for the player. This is just an irony of life.

There must be another solution for this. Milan may also be able to include a player in the buy clause. This will probably make Bologna agree to Milan's offer. Bologna does not urgently need money, and I'm sure it will keep its offer very high. MU and Juventus are interested in recruiting him, but Zirkzee has decided to choose Milan instead of MU or Juventus.
It raises some questions regarding his motivation to pick Milan over Juventus and MU. I have heard that Milan has prepared Alexis Saelemaekers to be included in his buying clause.

Munich will still receive 40% of the deal price if Bologna is able to sell him to Macmillan. There is no doubt that Bologna will demand a very high price for him.

Rodrygo has a contract with Real Madrid till 2028 with a release clause of about €1b. The Brazilian international has been instrumental to the success of the club this season and I am surprised to hear this transfer news. His movement will be largely determined by the plans of Carlo Ancelotti next season. We don't know how he intends to manage new arrivals like Kylian Mbappe and Endrick, because the competition will be stiff. If the French striker and the Brazilian prodigy arrive at Real, Rodrygo will face stiff competition and might not have a constant first-team shirt unless he is moved to another position.

But if the club has decided to let him leave for €100m, the club will not make any financial loss since he was signed by Santos in 2019 for €45m and he has contributed to the club immensely. But players like Rodrygo have the potential of improving to the extent of winning the Ballon d'Or and becoming the costliest player in the world in the future and Real Madrid might regret letting him go. Carlo has the potential and experience to manage many top-class players, thus I am predicting that the Brazilian striker will remain in Madrid till the end of his contract.

Whatever that is happening santiago bernabéu camp, I'm not sure if Florentino is going to allow such deal to even happen. If it's money, Real Madrid has it and this is the reason why it's always difficult to get there best players with such huge money for the club and also for the players because they understand how to take care of their family, if the are going to be letting go of any player right now, it wouldn't be young one, definitely it would be Modric.

Even if Mbape deal is finally completed and expected to start early as possible, I'm very sure that Anceloti will always find his way and make Rodrigo, Mbape and Vinicious to blend in together. When Bellingham was brought into the midfield, his presence doesn't affect the rest of the players, there are times he needed substitute and everything was okay for the team.

I don’t think Juventus are making the right decisions here. Allegri is the manager who got them back on their feet. Comparing their performances with last season, they have done really better job. This season it looked like they were challenging Inter Milan for this season’s trophy. But after they lost to Inter Milan, everything has been downhill for Juventus and Allegri. I was thinking Juventus would be finishing second after Inter Milan in this season and might win Serie A next season.

If Allegri finished this season in 4th position with Juventus, I would be disappointed. But I don’t think Juventus management should sack them considering Allegri really did show improvement this season. I know they are not performing well for the past few matches, but Juventus had bad phases many times before while under Allegri. I don't know why they want to sack him this time because Allegri did a better job overall than before.

It is difficult for a coach who has never had experience coaching a team in the Premier League to adapt quickly.
Ruben Amorim is a good coach but I don't think he is yet at top European level to be able to match Klopp for what he has shown with Liverpool so I doubt Ruben Amorim can continue Liverpool's current form.

It's quite difficult for Liverpool to find a replacement for Klopp and enable this team to continue to be at the top in the title race, maybe in my opinion the only coach with a big name who has good experience is suitable, not Ruben Amorim.

AC Milan has started transfer efforts for Joshua Zirkzee. Milan offered 50 million Euro for the player for whom Bologna wanted 75 million Euro. They could also send Saelemaekers along with the money. Zirkzee, who was sent from Bayern, had a good rise in his second season in Bologna and became the favorite of big clubs. However, Bologna's asking price is very high, I think they will soon agree on a price close to the price offered by Milan.

Quite Correct.

The fact is that, Kylian Mbappe is under contract terms with Paris Saint Germany and the lad is only trying to be very professional. Why would such a promising Ballon d'or potential winner say no to Real Madrid? That must be madness, completely madness.

Manchester City? He won't be swinging that way, reasons because they've signed a winger from Girona, they have Jack Grealish, Phil Foden and Jeremy Doku, who's he gone replace? It'll also be boring having both Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe together in the same team.

He already had his parents take decisions for him, he is a man now and can take the best decisions for himself. The switch to Real Madrid is the best decision he will even make in his football career.
Money won't be issues, Real Madrid will want to bend him, it's either he obliges or leave. I'm sure Los Blancos is the best destination for him.
