The official announcement will be made after Real Madrid and PSG play each other in the Champions League or if this opportunity disappears. It seems to me that all parties have already hinted at this quite transparently.
Yes, Real Madrid definitely needs Mbappe (or Haaland). With the kind of midfield that Real Madrid currently has, a top striker will return La Liga's performance to the level of 40+ goals. It is quite unusual for the top scorer in La Liga to score only 23 goals, even less than the top scorer in Serie A.

Indeed, the president of this club is very fond of sensationalism and seems to have no shame in public. I think some Barcelona fans will also not be happy with this statement and they also know that their favorite club cannot compete to bring in star players for their club. Apart from that, the gimmick is also not playing around when talking about a 16 year old kid who still hasn't got much experience or even trophies but he is already talking about 200 million euros, it's really crazy isn't it?

As a club president he should have the authority to be respected by his colleagues from other clubs or everyone can respect him. But this time he has crossed the line and maybe in the future it will also be like this to increase his prestige. Barcelona used to be a team full of history and now we know they have a club president to entertain everyone including the environment around the club.

Rumors regarding Xabi going to Real Madrid to replace Ancelotti have been circulating for long time and this has become quite hot topic among football fans, even Ancelotti himself quite agrees that he would be replaced by talented coach like Xabi.
But in reality Real Madrid actually extended Ancelotti contract as coach and after that they targeted to bring in Mbappe and this was pretty good decision so Xabi chances of being brought in would be delayed.
If there is chance then it will be when Ancelotti has finished his contract and of course there are still several season left.
Currently, the closest thing in the Xabi rumors is Liverpool and everything happened when Klopp decided to retire early at the end of the season, Liverpool were linked with interest in Xabi.
It just that this is difficult considering that Xabi himself also has the desire to bring Leverkusen to win major competitions in the next season.

I really doubt that Liverpool will be able to bring in Xabi, even though at first they were quite happy if they could have Xabi as coach because this could improve Liverpool performance and make the Premier League competition even more interesting.

Liverpool included in the lists to win the English Premier League this season. However they got hit by bad news, Klopp leaving, and will remained dormant in performance and development when Jurgen Klopp finally exits at the end of the season. We know how tough and easy at the same it have been for Jurgen Klopp, he's keen on making significant titles to the team's collection before he departs. Perhaps Liverpool board will not fold their hands, they're scouting for good replacement for the outgoing experience coach. The team just need someone that's Jurgen Klopp 2.0 version.

Bayer Leverkusen will become promising and winning the Bundesliga title this season, why? Because they have one of the best coach in European football and he's prominent, having lengthy vision to strengthen his path and team. Bayer Leverkusen will not release Xabi Alonso to Liverpool or any elite club because they need him to be present and watching him executing top priorities for the club. Since taking over Bayer Leverkusen as headcoach, they've been unbeaten this season and they've few games left.

Xabi to Real would definitely make sense, but Ancelotti situation prevented that and I fear that it may not happen for a while longer. Liverpool will push for him hard, we are talking about a legendary manager leaving so Xabi may fear failure, after such a great period with Klopp, Liverpool fans are spoiled and expecting either success or a good ranking at least, haven't they had bad years? Of course, they had some bad years along the way as well but usually they got what they wanted, title, cups and all that.

So in the end, Xabi may fear it, but Liverpool will chase him hard and if Liverpool somehow gets him, I think they will not fire him that easily, I do not think that he will do that badly, he may actually do quite fine.

We admit that Arsenal are currently in good form and even they are a team that is quite sharp in scoring goals in recent games, although it cannot be denied that Arsenal's squad depth is currently the weakest among two other title contenders such as Manchester City and Arsenal, from the beginning Arteta has admitted that Arsenal are developing well but still Arsenal need some new players to Strengthening them next season, currently several names have been targeted by Arsenal to be recruited, especially attacking players.


Players such as Ivan Toney, Viktor Gyokeres, and Victor Osimhen are targets to fill the front line, as well as some lines that currently still need strengthening such as midfield so naturally Arteta is eyeing Morgan Gibbs White from Nottingham Forest, I think actually with the presence of Declan Rice and also the return of Partey to the squad of course Arsenal are not too desperate to find a midfielder,  Because I think Arsenal main focus at the moment should be they are looking for a striker who can indeed replace the role of Gabriel Jesus who is less than optimal at the moment, I think instead of Arsenal recruiting Ivan Toney who is not too sharp as a striker better for Arsenal  to sign Viktor Gyokeres who is currently one of the young attackers who has a high scoring instinct,  Indeed, the price of Viktor Gyokeres may be very high, but it is not wrong for Arsenal to sign him next season.

Lamine Yamal is a good football player. Even if he does half of what Messi does, it would be great for him and for Barcelona. But we can't judge him definitively because of a few games of good performances. He has to show us a few seasons of good performances. However, I see Laporte's statements as natural. Every club president always praises his players and says positive things about them. It's a marketing strategy.

To be honest, which one team interested for signing Lamine Yamal over 200 million euro behind many top players with much experienced on the top level performance available for signing above 100 million euro. I think its more bullshit underrate values for youth players without much experienced and not winning any tittle yet for this season, there are have many top players already with price over 100 million euro and some teams won't spending over 200 million for Lamine Yamal only because there are available to sign until three players with higher level performance.
I doubt with Lamine Yamal future will be the same the next Lionel Messi label put for Ansu Fati, finally he has leaves Barcelona and joining with Brighton Albion teams but can return to his top performance.

Arsenal have been performing incredibly well since the start of the season and the good thing about them is that despite not having so many goals scored by their top 9 strikers, Arsenal have been scoring a lot of goals. They're the highest scoring team in the English Premier League this season but none of their players is in the top three of the highest goal scoring charts in the league which o think is an issue that needs to be solved. So the news that they want to sign Ivan Toney I don't think should be a surprise because they surely want to make sure solve that striker's problem they've been having this season but is Ivan Toney the best option to help them solve that problem? I don't think he is if you ask me.
Ivan Toney without doubt is a good striker that's capable of scoring many goals for any team he's playing for but I think Arsenal needs a stronger and more energetic striker than Ivan Toney. They need a striker that can muscle and bully defenders and also create space for the club's wingers to score goals and that I don't Ivan Toney can be able to do.

Whether it's Perez's ego or not, it won't matter because at the end of the day he can do whatever he wants.
Perez has control over Madrid and he knows that his decisions when signing players are sometimes not wrong so even though many people think that signing Mbappe is a form of selfishness from Perez, I don't think it will be a problem because in the end he will also be very useful in Madrid later.

Now the issue of Mbappe and Madrid continues to be discussed but there is still no clarity about the rumors that are developing now because in the end rumors are only always rumors considering that a lot of news is thrown but none of them get a good response so we just wait whether this will become a reality or not because certainly all situations will definitely become clearer when the transfer saga reopens.
But certainly for next season we will see something new in Madrid because with the conditions last season where they slightly suppressed their ego not to bring too many players then there will certainly be some changes that occur next season.

Toney? it must be joking from the author's right? Im not even thinking that if toney is worth to buy especially when brentford valued him 100 millions. What in the hell is this? It will be so damn stupid if arteta will be buying toney from brentford. I would rather get osimhen if arsenal is willing to spend 100m for a striker.

I have heard that if there have been some names linked to the arsenal. It will be benjamin sesko and gyokeres but it's not yet clear whether arsenal is really targeting these names. Arteta made no comment regarding this and it seems he is still putting all of his focus on to the title race against city and liverpool.
The better if we are waiting for the league to end in may consider some big clubs being involved in the serious battles to get the EPL trophy this season. It's hard to believe if arsenal will put ivan toney as the next target.

It's unlikely to happen and im not even trusting it too. Kroenke is not likely willing to spend another big amounts of money to strengthen his club. Let's see whether arsenal will be winning PL trophy this season or it will have same story as last season when city was winning it.
Arsenal has been unfavored club in winning PL this season.

Yes, we have to follow developments, but we also shouldn't just swallow the information that comes, especially if it comes from sources that are not clear at all, we must still hear direct confirmation from the players or teams themselves. One reliable source comes from Fabrizio Romano, what he has conveyed so far has very high accuracy, that's why I always see news that comes from Fabrizio.
Regarding Mbappe's future, until now as usual, the news circulating has always linked Real Madrid, it almost happens every season and maybe this season it will become a reality. However, we also cannot fully confirm whether this will become a reality or not, because they are still carrying out the process that can bring Mbappe to Santiago Bernabeu. This process is difficult because Paris Saint Germain itself still wants to keep this player, but we know that since last season Mbappe has always insisted on leaving Paris Saint Germain. Let's just enjoy the news circulating now while waiting for definite information.

This is football and it comes with shocking moves and stats of teams. Each season, there's always a better elite team to stand strong enough and there we also have it, the backsliding ones that will struggle throughout the season. The underestimated Arsenal are the elite team topping the table this season, though it comes as a surprise to everyone but the deal is already done. The only thing remaining for Gunners is mounting streak winnings in their EPL fixtures. I trust Mikel Arteta, there's no slide but full focused on the title this season.

When it comes to players, the Gunners have some notable names on their radar; prudent scouting will undoubtedly bring these exceptional players to the team. Mikel Arteta is prepared to anticipate every solid vicinity and the players who will arrive; he is actively sketching out structural winnings for his team, and he will not tolerate mediocre performance. Arsenal is having a fantastic season and is fully committed to winning the title this season. Mikel Arteta will not condone any act involving a subpar performance; he has already envisioned his squad to be at the top, and they will do everything in their power to strike more efficiently in upcoming EPL matches.

Arsenal are reportedly ready to buy players for next season. Ivan Toney and Morgan Gibbs-White were targeted by Arsenal. If you look at Arsenal, many transfer players from the EPL. This means they buy players who already have experience in the EPL. They don't want to risk the adaptation of failed players. These two players also have not bad statistics, they deserve to join Arsenal. I think Arteta didn't choose this player wrong either.

Milan is a money oriented team. Once it get benefit from selling the players and milan will do that even by forcing the players to leave from the club through threatening him like tonali. I remember that correctly how milan was always threatening tonalli to leave from the club.
Tonalli has rejected it many times but the management keep threatening him and it never stopped. Tonalli gets upset and he has no choice other than leave from the club to join in the newcastle.

That's sad that milan was not transparent and tonalli gets banned till next season due to the his scandal. I know that if reaslistically, club needs to put money as everything considering the fact that if football is not about winning the trophy. It's also about how you can run your business preoperly.
It has been known very well if duo milan have very big debts.



The data i provide below showed how intermilan suffering huge lose caused by the total income from selling the players far less compared to the buy players.

Acmilan needs also cover it through selling the potential players that valued very high. Im sure that acmilan got interesting offer for maignan. That's why milan accepts him to leave

Milan isn't a team who want to focus to develop their team, from the last decade, Milan only become a champion for one time. Their peak performance were on 90s, now they're like a mediocre team. Milan currently don't have any good goalkeeper beside Maignan, they should prepare to get someone who replace him.

Well, Milan did right to sell Tonali, do you know where's Tonali now? he got suspend for 10 months due to his gambling addict lol.

I personally don't believe any rumors about Mbappe. I won't believe that Mbappe will join Real Madrid until I get the official news. Because in the last few seasons we talked a lot about Mbappe and Madrid. Finally we haven't seen Mbappe in a Madrid jersey. So I will definitely wait to see the news for sure. But we are seeing a lot of news this season regarding Mbappe's transfer. Florentino Perez is likely to be keen on Mbappe this season.



Real Madrid told they ‘don’t need Kylian Mbappe’ as move for PSG forward slammed for being ‘just for the ego of Florentino Perez


I don't agree with that. Madrid definitely need a talented player like Mbappe. There is no regular scorer in Madrid's squad. Real Madrid have to rely on midfielder Bellingham to score. Mbappe has the ability to score a lot. And Mbappe's addition to the squad would certainly be beneficial for Real Madrid.

It may initially seem counterintuitive to sell an effective and important player like Mike Maignan, but Milan's decision could indeed be a wise one from a strategic and financial standpoint. Goalkeepers tend to have a lower market value compared to outfield players. Selling Maignan for a significant sum can capitalize on the high demand in the transfer market and potentially generate substantial revenue that can be reinvested into strengthening other areas of the squad.

Milan may already have a capable replacement or alternative options in mind. The club's scouting network and managerial staff are likely to have identified potential replacements or internal solutions to fill the void left by Maignan's departure. This ensures that the team's performance is not significantly compromised despite selling a key player. Selling Maignan could also help balance the club's finances and adhere to financial fair play regulations. It's understandable that Maignan expresses a desire to have bigger challenge, or if the club receives offers that are too lucrative to refuse, it may be in the best interests of both parties to facilitate a transfer.

Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid, let's wait till the deal is been finally triggered. There are shocking news in football, we just have keep listening ears on ground because what's coming would seem surprising to our eyes and most of us will find it hard to believe. For me, I'm already open up and will accept the legit news which will be flowing in anytime soon. Besides I can't be easily deceived or following rumors, just patiently wait for the top football journalist, Fabrizio Romano to make posts on his page, that's probably where I get my information and stay updated with football trends.

Although I didn't believe everything I read in media easily but I found several sources talking about this including some respectable ones including The Sun, Marca... Even Barcelona president said that he rejected this offer and will reject any future offers for Lamal since they count a lot on him.
The crazy amount of €200 isn't available for any team to offer. Assuming it is not Real Madrid then there is PSG that could afford that or a team from English Premier League like Chelsea and Manchester United. I tend to think it is PSG when regarding the common history between these two teams..
