It is true, he prefers to stay with Man United. PSG already tried to sign him in 2022 but Rashford rejected the offer. Although PSG offered a higher salary, Rashford decided to stay because he feels comfortable in Man United. Now, PSG will try again with a higher offer, they offered £75 million. If Rashford rejected again, I think PSG will make a bigger offer, may be around £85 million. This can be interested for Man United and Rashford may change his mind if PSG offers him with a weekly salary above £500,000 a week.

Honestly, I am not sure if Rashford is really valued close to £100 million. According to transfermarkt, his highest market value is £85 million. And now it even dropped to £60 million. I think the offer £75 million should be enough for Rashford but Man United must expect higher transfer fees. I think £85 million can be tempting Man United.

Regarding Yamal, it doesn't make sense if barcelona wants £200 million. Is he in the same level with Mbappe and Osimhen? I think his level is much lower than superstar players like Mbappe and Osimhen.

City's boss Pep is one good coach that has good foresight. His style of play, choice of players and combination of squad makes City formidable in all their displays. City themselves has a lot to offer in football, they're one team that are tough to encounter, this is because of Pep. How best can a team be with 3 different squads that are too good to face any rival. Even the youngsters are doing far better than old big Dawgs in other teams. The best thing that's ever happened to Manchester City is Pep Guardiola. Sometimes one would wonder if he'd be able to do these exploits with a different team, the answer is yes.

 We've seen his works in the clubs he's been before City and we've seen that he's the right man for any club's managerial position.Liverpool on the other hand has experienced a push ahead in their stance since Klopp joined the team. They have been impactful in all areas of contests they find themselves. They've pulled through series of finals and have lifted a number of trophies too. The manager has been a positive addition to them and it's understandable if the club can't let go of him yet.

 This season, he's aimed for a number of trophies too, first when they took on Chelsea in the EFL finals, definitely the boss was charged to win again. The European contests too is there. He's been able to put the team in the spotlight which they need to excel. The players he's worked with are definitely improving in their abilities too. Just like Pep in City, Klopp is been a savior to Liverpool and they'd definitely have to get to some greater heights before he exits the team soon.

In the context of Kylian Mbappé deciding to leave Parc des Princes at the end of this season, PSG is urgently looking for a replacement, and Rashford could be chosen. PSG tried to recruit Rashford in 2022 but could not convince the English player despite offering him a salary of £400,000/week. Rashford's performance this season has been extremely poor. And this could be PSG's chance to get him. If PSG is willing to pay such a large amount of money to bring Marcus Rashford to Ligue 1 to play football. This is not a small number at the present time and forces Man United to consider. In case they do not qualify for the Champions League next season, Man United may have to consider selling Marcus Rashford to reinvest. Rashford should find a new land. This place is probably not suitable for him anymore. Ten Hag is excited with Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund. This season, Man United will be almost empty-handed. If Rashford continues to stay at a club that is in decline, his results will not be much different.

Barcelona have been dealing with financial issues for quite much time. They couldn't act much freely due to La Liga FFP rules in the past as well. This even caused them not to be able to register some players in time.  

I hope to see them solving this kind of issues as quick as possible. Because while their main rival Real Madrid are making their squad much stronger with new transfers Barcelona should also be able to answer. We are even talking about Mbappe's joining Real Madrid this summer. When this happens the power gap will be even much bigger between these teams. Barcelona would also make use of a star player transfer.

Rashford is an important player who has quite a big influence on Manchester United, but this season he seems to have lost his best form, but that doesn't deter big European teams from using his services. Apart from that, it is quite natural that Manchester United will set a high price because Rashford is still quite needed for next season. For PSG with strong enough finances, I think €100 million is not an obstacle to withdrawing to get Rashford. So in this case of course PSG wants to make a cheaper initial offer to disturb Manchester United.

Well, I have also seen that there has been a lot of recent news published about PSG interest in Rashford, but at this time there is still no certainty whether Rashford plans to move to PSG or stay at Manchester United. Maybe Rashford is a player who is quite suitable to fill the void in PSG's front line when Mbappe leaves. I predict that PSG management will continue to make contact with Manchester United to persuade Manchester United to release Rashford in the next hot transfer window.

From the article I read he didn't want to leave Manchester United, his contract is still long too. Frankly, it's not really make sense why PSG only offering 75 Million Euros when they're interested with Yamal and don't mind to spend for 200 Million Euros.

His market value is currently 82 Million Euros, so 100 Million Euros for Rashford isn't really high.

Phew, interesting rumor and I hear this for the first time, but am wondering whether it would make sense for any of the clubs involved and the player himself. The question is what does Rashford gain from leaving Manchester United and the Premier League to then go to PSG and play in Ligue 1? I doubt that money could be the reason as I think he is probably earning a lot at Manchester United and would he leave the club when PSG offers him like 10% or 15% more than that? You never know, but what does Manchester United gain from it? If it is really 100 million, then it might make sense as that is enough money to get another top player who then also performs on a higher level than Rashford. But my point of view is that it's more a ten Hag problem than a Rashford problem. Rashford is a great player, but he has problems living up to his full potential.

I saw a brief rumor on social media about PSG's interest in signing Rashford, and Man United wanting €100, so far PSG haven't been able to raise the price by that much. So is there any interesting information regarding Rashford going to PSG?
In general, this is certainly good for Man United and they can buy another striker who is able to play stably with Hojlund up front. Rashford's recent performance is also not very promising, but I won't blame him because Erik Ten Hag can't make the most of his players. If you look closely, all the Man United players seem to have lost their playing style, under Ten Hag there is a kind of forced appearance and shows an uncomfortable position.

Really? Miroslav Klose? It was so surprising to hear that his name was in the Lazio coach rumors and I was quite enthusiastic about welcoming him to Serie A. In fact, at the end of his football playing career, he retired at Lazio in 2017. He is a young coach and also a former great legend in football and usually with a brilliant career when he was a football player, usually he will also be good when he becomes a coach.

If we look at his coaching record, he started his career as an assistant coach for the German national team and as coach of the Bayern Munich academy for several seasons. A year ago, he also coached a team in the Austrian league, namely SCR Altach, but unfortunately he didn't manage that team for even one season. Now if he goes back to Lazio and becomes a coach it would be good enough for him and could at least make a difference before the season ends. We hope that this rumor will come true because Lazio cannot wait too long for a new coach to replace Maurizio Sarri.

It's hard to believe that despite greenwood's bad story in manchester united and now there are multiple clubs have ben callling to buy him from manchester united which is very good progress from him caused by i though greenwood's career have already ended. I read a few weeks ago that Barcelona was interested in recruiting him as a new striker, and el blaugrana had made direct contact with United's representative about the possibility of him being recruited as a new striker but still no update regarding whether barcelona will buy him or not. Another rumor has surfaced, this time from Atletico Madrid which is telling public about their interest to recruit him as a new striker. I can understand it since atletico madrid must also regenerate its players. Some players are getting olders and they may not capable enough to compete in la liga.

Diego simeone took him as one of potential striker to be recruited. Greenwood is still young enough and a very good striker. People were only underestimating him due to the his scandal but it doesn't remove the fact that if green wood was a good player.
It can be seen from how greenwood was able shining again after he had got scandal that was almost destroying his career. Despite his previous scandal, Greenwood has received some demands.

Greenwood is rediscovering his best performances. I think that if club is only need his skills to play as a striker and it's not about his previous scandal.

Actually Barcelona have wanted Diaz since when he was porto but at that time Diaz preferred to join Liverpool because he considered the Premier League more challenging, with his current impressive performance of course the price will be the main obstacle for Barcelona to sign Diaz who has even played 85 times with 22 goals and 13 assists with Liverpool,  Currently Diaz has a contract with Liverpool until 2027 and reportedly the current price market Diaz even reaches a fairly fantastic price of around 120-140 million euros.

This season is not the best season for Barcelona who have missed the opportunity to get the La Liga trophy, so maybe they are ambitious to continue to improve their squad next season including by trying to bring Diaz, but the question now is whether Barcelona can afford to buy Diaz when their finances are still slumped?
Other than that I think it looks like Diaz is comfortable playing at Liverpool, and he certainly doesn't want to go when he's been playing in one of the best teams in the world right now.

That sounds contradictory. So they need Yamal to shoulder responsibilities, but they also need to protect him from becoming another Pedri? Besides, Xavi's stance is clear afaik. He will leave regardless of how Barca's season ends, it would be stupid to sack him. anyway since looking for a decent coach near the end of the season is almost impossible. If I were Barcelona, I'd rather use this remaining time to prepare for the next season or try to go as far as possible in the Champions League. It would help them propose a better deal for players instead of paying a ridiculous amount of money as the main appeal for every new signing. CMIIW.

Well, this could be a rumor, or PSG could already be paying attention to Yamal. But the price is just a rumor.

Anyway, Lamine Yamal's potential is real, and Barcelona's task is to use this player appropriately. Previously, Ansu Fati and Gavi were equally talented, but being abused too early and too much caused the duo's career to be interrupted by injury. If Barcelona does not want to be disappointed about a "second Ansu Fati" in the case of Lamine Yamal. Xavi and the coaching staff must have a thorough plan to protect this player's natural development and progress. In fact, this young player could be Barcelona's rare remaining striker shortly. If Robert Lewandowski's performances continue to decline, Yamal could be the answer. Yamal could be the key to saving Barcelona's season and keeping Xavi in his job.

Attracting free players is not as easy as it seems, and the best ones are bought first in any case, rather than waiting until their contracts expire. While the team has financial problems, it is very difficult to plan anything on the transfer market, but even without victories it is not easy to improve its financial situation.

The team's largest debt so far is for players signed in 2022:

* For Raphinha they have to pay €24 million this year, and €38 million next year.

* For Lewandowski they must pay €10 million this year, and €21 million next year.

* For Torres €13 million this year, and €26 million next year.

* Kunde will have to pay €11 million this year, and another €24 million next year.

In my opinion, there is still a debt for de Jong, that is, you see how many obligations the team has that they must cover, if they cannot pay, there will be legal proceedings, and a ban on the club from operating in the transfer market. So there are a lot of problems and it’s difficult to think about new transfers with such financial problems.

You should know that Yamal is only 16 years old. It's impossible for a young player just that age to lead a team to win an award. How many players started playing in the first team at top European clubs at 16? I know Yamal's price is not that high, but PSG wants Barcelona to release Yamal. They have to pay an unbelievable amount. Yamal is already the owner of many records, even though he is still young. Yamal is already the youngest scorer in La Liga history, the youngest player to ever start in the Champions League and the youngest player to ever score for Spain. Pele, Diego Maradona, Lionel Messi, and Cristiano Ronaldo couldn't have been that young when they scored their first goals for the national team. That's enough for PSG to bet on young player Yamal. As for Barcelona, this is a bargain for them to solve their financial problems. In the context that Barcelona is still finding a solution to the debt repayment problem.

What will they do with their situation which is still having problems with their finances, will they force themselves to buy expensive players? Honestly, I don't believe they can buy Luis Diaz from Liverpool. What's interesting for me is when I see Barcelona targeting lots of expensive players, even though we know their financial situation is not good at the moment. Will they start selling valuable players on the team and will use the money from those sales to buy players?
Barcelona should start fixing their problems within the team, I think it would be better for them to solve the basic problems first, because the most basic problems can be handled, I think it will be easier for them to return to building a team like before. Because if their main problem is still not resolved, I think every season they will always experience the same problem. Obviously something like this is not healthy for a team, because when old problems have not been resolved, I am sure there will definitely be new problems that will come and that will make it even more difficult for them.

the best option is simply to abandon the desire to acquire players at very high prices at a time of dire financial circumstances.
of course Barcelona would prefer not to bring in Luis Diaz at a very high price, of course Barcelona management will not be able to pay the player, even if the price is $80 million, it is likely that Barcelona will not sign him either.
as we know, Barcelona currently only has the best option to bring in free players from the transfer market to still be able to provide salaries to all its players rather than forcing them to get expensive players but the line-up will be a little worse.
and on the one hand, I don't think Liverpool will let go of Luis Diaz, even though his performance is not very impressive, he is able to make a good contribution to other players.

I shake my head when I see takes like this. How do you follow Pep's Manchester City and say he was successful only because he has financial backing? Do you know how that sounds?
Klopp has spent almost as much as Pep in Liverpool. Klopp has a net spend of about £900 million. Check how much Arterta has spent so far in Arsenal. What about Manchester United which has a net spend of over £1.2 billion post Alex Ferguson era?
Most recently we have Chelsea that have spent a billion on transfers in the last two seasons, yet all these clubs don't have Alf the success of Manchester City in the Pep era. So how do you say he's successful because the club grants him all the players he needs?

I know that you can't be successful without good players, but at the end of the day, it comes down to the wit of the manager. Pochettino has Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe in his team and struggled to win even the Ligue 1.
My point is, no matter how much a club spends on transfer, if they don't have the right manager they won't be successful.
Funny enough the players Manchester City but are not so expensive. Now they've gotten Savio from Girona if he comes to the team and turns into a beast, people will start talking about how Manchester City always signs good players. No manager in the top 6 would do what Pep is doing to Doku.
Give Pep his flowers, he's successful because he's good.

Xavi will never fit Bayern's gameplay. I strongly disagree with this because Bayern has a totally different gameplay than Barcelona. I'm also demanding the club recruit Xabi Alonso instead of Xavi Hernandez. I only think it's a joke to link Bayern to Xavi, which is impossible to happen.
Bayenr has always been the club that destroyed his club. This rumor is only a joke, and I can't even trust it without concrete evidence. Barcelona is not likely in a good mood to let his coach leave the club at the end of the season.

This sounds too good to be true. Xavi is not even certain about his future. It sounds like he was not willing to decide on which club he would continue his career with. Why rush it? There is nothing unclear about his fate now.
Xavi may also be able to stay even longer in Barcelona as long as he achieves good results with the club this time.

We are still quite far from the day we will see Xavi's final decision on whether to continue step down as Barcelona's coach. Let's think about that.
Real madrid's a loyal supporter like him becoming barcelona's coach? what in the hell is this?

Xabi Alonso does not have good experience compared to good coaches in general, but seeing his hard work in developing a club like Leverkusen, which was initially in the middle of the board, now Leverkusen has become the strongest club in the Bundesliga and is making things difficult for Bayern Munich in the title race, and now Xabi Alonso has proven his ability that the club he is currently coaching is really performing optimally, but why do you say it's not going well?? and doubt the potential that Xabi Alonso has? even though you can see for yourself that this coach is extraordinary in building an ordinary club, especially if he is at Bayern Munich which has everything, of course Xabi Alonso doesn't think too hard about providing the best strategy.

Indeed, being at a big club provides different and certainly greater pressure because he will many demands by the board and fans to give a perfect performance like Leverkusen currently has not experienced defeat. If Xabi Alonso is at Bayern Munich but is unable to meet expectations it is that his future at Bayern Munich will be threatened, but I am very sure that Xabi Alonso will be the best coach in the future because he is a coach who is very adaptable and his training system is not so stressful because it provides good motivation so that it makes his players play very comfortably.
