I don't think so, because both of them are still quite good players if in the end there is a possibility that Manchester City will bring Mbappe then there is no harm in taking Haaland because he is a pure attacking type player in contrast to Mbappe who is more on the wing with his speed and Madrid needs a pure striker like Haaland if in the end Mbappe is at Manchester City.

But for now agree with what was said that Manchester City can only bring Mbappe if Haaland leaves or indeed have to give up Haaland if Manchester City really want Mbappe in their squad because however it will not be possible for a club to unite two players of the caliber of Haaland and Mbappe now because of their large salaries and value.

PSG putting on close eyes on backup replacement for Kylian Mbappe who's leaving Parc des Princes stadium at the end of the summer. His departure will disturbs the peace of the team and their performance will decline, we have started witnessing the slight decline in Les Parisiens performance, this incidents happen when Luis Enrique keeps Mbappe on the bench. PSG have eyes on good players, for instance they're aiming for the Englishman. Marcus Rashford is top player for Manchester United and selling him off doesn't appear to be a good choice for the team. Erik Ten Hag knows his importance and he will worked on improving his team to be better.

But if you think about it that way, Reshford is just as unfit to replace Mbappe, he's extremely unstable after all, he can play well one time, terrible the next. It's all about adaptation most likely, but if they are going to buy him I don't think they should overpay for him even though they can afford it

The fact is that not all coaches can do the same and maybe it can be confirmed this season because it is likely that Tuchel cannot get the trophy if Xabi's glory in coaching Leverkusen is not stopped from now on.
Although indeed in this case all possibilities can still occur in the hunt but looking at the current chance and Bayern's performance this season we can see that not all coaches can do well even though they are given more resources in training Bayern.

For Xabi's future at this time it will indeed be a little different class if he is in a big league like La Liga and the EPL especially if he is successful there but on the other hand this is also still too risky for a new coach especially if the EPL is one of his goals because after all we often see many examples of young coaches who are quite good but immediately destroyed when the choice is wrong, I will take the example of Potter here where he did train very well when he was at Brighton because the vision and mission in training was very good he was too confident to go further at Chelsea but instead it made his career fall apart until now.
Possibilities like this should also be able to Xabi think because not everything that happens can be done easily because the higher the level the greater the challenge.

Xabi has been with Leverkusen for almost 3 years, so he can get to this point in need of a process. So if Bayern want instant results it seems that is also difficult to happen. Because I believe Every coach must have a process, there are not many coaches who can give a champion when he just comes. So if Bayern want him, it is also the same as the previous coach because there is no definite guarantee from Xabi.

I'm not sure that Pep Guardiola knew Haaland will be this good, man change everything for Manchester City in just under a year. The same vibe Bellingham brought Real Madrid so far, I wasn't too sure man will be that good as forward and midfield but Mbape became a god in PSG after boy won his first world cup and because the club was afraid to lose their little treasure, they increase the take home, that's what I think Manchester City will never do with Haaland, the success of the team doesn't depend on his presence but also we can't deny his input.


If will be a big mistake for Real Madrid to hunt for Mbape all this while and then settle for Haaland. Pep has made comment on that the last time he was asked about his opinion if Real Madrid will want to buy Haaland and he just laugh it off that his boy is not going their. I think that Real Madrid has seal the deal of Mbape but because the season isn't there yet to end, we can't here Fabrizio right now but by the end of the season, things will become transparent.

Well, now it definitely looks like he's not going to stay in PSG.
They are literally treating him like they were doing the last time he wanted to leave PSG.

So I don't think there is any chance for him to stay and that also indicates he has actually some kind of contract with some other club,
and we all know that club should be Real Madrid.

But I still think that just because he is leaving the club at the end of the season does not mean they had to treat him like that.
They could still use him. But probably there is pressure from the top, don't know.

Rashford no longer gets regular playing time with Manchester United at this time after his game performance is no longer as good as the previous season, especially before Rashford had a conflict with Ten Hag due to his indiscipline and of course we all know if players who are in conflict with Ten Hag are just waiting for time to be eliminated by Manchester United as happened with Ronaldo and Sancho before,  In addition, the chances for Rashford to be ruled out by Manchester management next season are quite large, with the new owner Manchester United planning to make many changes in the Manchester squad, after this season Manchester United are in poor form.

I think next season Manchester United no longer need Rashford in the squad so it is very likely that he will be sold, but for a club of course getting big money is a goal of selling players and that can be done by Manchester by seeing the desperation that PSG has at the moment, the need for strikers and the lack of great strikers available in the transfer market will of course make Manchester United increase the selling price of Rashford later so inevitably PSG have to spend a lot of money to get Rashford, especially if we look at the opportunity to get Osimhen seems a bit difficult because Osimhen has committed to Napoli by extending his contract last December.

Behind all of that there must be a financial manager who analyzes the club's financial expenses, maybe we are aware that Barcelona is in trouble because of the financial crisis and even rumors that some player purchase debts are still piling up but their expensive player spending may have sponsors behind it.

The news is they will also sell some of the main players to cover it all, I feel this might happen even Barcelona wants to regenerate some players to others as they want, including choosing a coach requires large funds especially this famous coach.

There is a reason why Marcus Rashford experienced a decline in performance even though in the previous season he was the top scorer for Man United. From several news reports that I read, the coach pushed Marcus Rashford's abilities too hard at such a young age so that at certain moments he lost his best ability in playing. This happened not only to Marcus Rashford and even before Martial, who was quite successful at his home club, became less productive after two seasons at Man United even though he often suffered injuries.

PSG is hunting for several players for the front line and one of them is Victor Osimhen who is their target, however, as you said, up to now there is no clarity regarding this player because neither the player nor the club have shown any progress. It is appropriate for PSG to look for a replacement for Mbappe because if it is true that he leaves this season there will be a void in the front line so Luis Enrique must immediately find a replacement.

But City got Haaland. This is very close to realizing the ability to "get any player" since Haaland and Mbappe will not play on the same team. In fact, City got one of the 2 best strikers in the world, and Real couldn't do it because of the crazy finances that PSG gave Mbappe on a new contract.
As for Mbappe's move to City, this will only be possible if Real buys Haaland.
This is already an unlikely option (since leaks say that Mbappe has already signed a contract with Real), but previously it was quite possible since the compensation for Haaland is comparable to the bonus for Mbappe.

Marcus Rashford has experienced a decline in performance recently, but with such a high price I think Manchester United is trying to take advantage of Paris Saint Germain as they usually don't think twice about buying players. Yes they usually pay whatever the player is worth if they want it badly enough. But for Rashford I think they are still considering him or in other words they don't really want him, unlike when they wanted Mbappe for example. Even Mbappe got something very special, that's what would happen if Paris Saint Germain really really wanted a player.

Now they are being linked with several players, one of whom is Victor Osimhen from Napoli. It is reported that Paris Saint Germain is also approaching this player to recruit them next season. However, the news is currently still not completely clear, because no confirmation has come from either party. I understand why Paris Saint Germain is targeting many players for next season, it is their preparation for losing Mbappe. Let's take a look at who will join Paris Saint Germain from among the players they have been linked with.

It seems that Barcelona management has plans to release some of its young players who are La Masia products such as Yamal, and several other players who they are currently loaning to other teams such as Ansu Fati. If Barcelona management releases these players, the scenario of recruiting Luis Diaz might be implemented. I feel that the Blaugrana management is directing its policy in that direction, wanting mature players to work together with their new coach in the future.

However, they could be careless again in the transfer window, we know they also have to think about making two other loan players, Felix and Cancelo, permanent. With the financial crisis they are currently experiencing, it is very important to act carefully in shopping for players, because the risk is that apart from failing to compete next season, the club will also face further financial difficulties.

If Barcelona can advance further in the Champions League, maybe they can get additional capital to buy players, but everything still looks unclear at the moment. In essence, Deco as the person in charge there will certainly not destroy the club, who else can challenge Madrid in the future if Barcelona goes down, Girona and ATM in my opinion are difficult do it.

Well at the moment it seems like Ten Hag is more interested in bringing in players that he personally likes and he does not care about the performance that the player he brings in. At least that's what has happened so far. he has single-handedly destroyed a good Manchester United squad and made it a laughing stock.

Anyway, I also agree that Sancho is not coming back to Manchester United. he is going to join Dortmund for sure. I do not have doubts about that. and even if he is willing to come back to Manchester United it is not going to happen now. Sancho In my opinion is a Dortmund player now.


Well only if the owners of Manchester United understood that. Actually, I think the owners do understand that. but the point is there is only one, "money" and that's why they are still not opposed to him being the coach of Manchester United. If the owners were actually interested in winning trophies, they would have brought in a better coach a long time ago. right now the situation is very interesting because now the good coaches are also not interested in managing Manchester United.

Rashford has a quite different performance from last season, and his performance seems to be declining this season. So for this reason, I think his highest market value may not be able to break £85 million. But when it comes to PSG, anything can be possible and it wouldn't be surprising if one day PSG made an offer with a fantastic value just to sign Rashford (the more Man United insists on rejecting PSG's offer, the more PSG will insist on making crazy offers).

Yes they should have fixed their problem first, which you said was a leaky ship. If they push themselves too hard to continue adding cargo to the leaking ship, there is a risk that the ship will sink in the future.
I can't understand what Barcelona always does, is this because the management doesn't have credibility in building this team or are they who want to destroy Barcelona from within? Over and over again we see them doing something that is not really important, because there are other things that are more urgent. But they always ignore it all, if they continue like this then I won't be surprised when they become a team that can no longer be relied on.

After Mbappe confirmed will leave PSG at the end of this season with free transfer status then people has starting to speculate which player will PSG buy as a replacement for Mbappe and some players were starting to linked to them including Lamine Yamal and Rashford but indeed about Lamine Yamal recently PSG representative has refuse this rumour although they admitting Lamine Yamal is young talented player but they don't have any plan to bid for this player 200 millions this because PSG feel Lamine Yamal is not worth to that price or overpriced but PSG does not rule out the possibility that later they will make an offer to this player

Lamine Yamal is still 16 years old and Barcelona should be giving him more chances to playing regularly for each matches because he still can develop their skill and become a great player and actually Barcelona has big plan for Lamine Yamal because after his contract ended on 2026 Barcelona want to give Lamine Yamal contract extension until 2030 and Barcelona too are willing to give him the contract with high salary and at his contract Barcelona will putting 1 billion release clause

That's what I mean, meaning Rashford has quite a lot of potential but in Ten Hag hands his potential is no longer outstanding. We know Ten Hag manages this team, but now firing him is not the solution. Who knows, PSG can fill in the place left by Mbappe and offer what Man United has not been able to provide, where a large salary is not a problem for PSG whose finances are completely stable, but we'll see what the future holds regarding this rumor.

For Yamal, with such a high price, of course Barcelona itself wants the highest price and needs an injection of funds so that the club does not go bankrupt. Rashford definitely wants to stay with Man United because Ten Hag himself considers him an important player on the front line. Meanwhile, in my opinion, Hojlund is much more important if he is given many opportunities after recovering. Rashford productivity this season has dropped drastically and it can be seen how difficult it is for Ten Hag to develop this player's abilities. Man United's player problems are a legacy left by previous coaches, so like it or not, Ten Hag has to improve this team beyond its capacity.

Because the position left by Mbappe is quite vital, so if PSG really needs a striker and that player is Rashford then they should do whatever it takes to bring him in. PSG is in a very worried phase, their dependence on Mbappe is now demanding that the club have to spend more money if they don't want the attack line to be left empty.

rashford's release clause was very close to the 100 millions but it's still 100 millions less. I think that if it's very clear that if rashford may be tryng to consider the high salary offered by PSG. The first offer which was around 75 millions has already sent to the united but since this was coming from PSG and it's likely to increase soon.
This is far better than getting Yamal, which has a nonsensical release clause. I would rather get Rashford instead of Lamine Yamal. The better for PSG to buy his release clause which is not so far from what has been offered by PSG to the manchester united.
United needs to reconsider PSG's next offer soon.


I would rather put Rashfrd as a winger instead of a striker since this is his actual position. Manchester United was not even interested in letting him leave the club. Ten Hag is his biggest problem, but I'm sure he will leave if United is able to get a new coach soon.
Manchester United has some players who will soon run out of contracts. The club must be able to make better preparation for the upcoming season. The only way to do this is by recruiting the right player to play for the club.

Its unclear how Barcelona will handle the financial burden of pursuing high-profile targets like Luis Díaz. Spending 120 million euros when the club is struggling financially seems like a formula for catastrophe, no? Trying to improve the team while keeping the lights on is difficult.

I understand that Díaz is a top-notch player with impressive stats, including 22 goals and 13 assists for Liverpool. Barcelona taking on too much? Thats not something I want to see. Financially, they're sprinting before they can stroll again. I prefer that they mend the leaky ship before adding more cargo.
