Rumor has it that Man City are also preparing a possible replacement for Pep Guardiola, and the right person right now is Xabi Alonso. He has a game with a clear system and is quite capable of identifying the abilities of the players as he did with Leverkusen. The problem is that Madrid is also interested in Xabi Alonso, so I hope the hunt for a coach must be taken seriously, especially Madrid who seem lazy about the future of the coach. I don't doubt Ancelotti but we also need to see with quality players like Vini, Mbappe, Rodrygo, Valverde, Bellingham etc. there must be a coach who is able to provide an effective game system.

Juventus has zero tolerance for doping. I do support their decision to part ways with Pogba. He has been destroying his own reputation, and it's the right decision to leave him alone. He would be of no use to them even if they signed him back with a lower salary.
Also, it's clear their objectives are now different from when they signed him. They're going for the young talent with a low salary instead of aging players with a high salary. So, i see no reason for them to welcome him back again.
It hurts but is fair for either of parties.

Young talents with low salaries are an oxymoron these days
As for Juventus and Pogba, it is not a matter of zero tolerance to doping, but simply that he received that injury and the long recovery lowered his shape. Later, doping added another one and a half year pause in playing practice, and given Pogba’s age, this raises the question of whether he will be able to return to an acceptable level or not.
Do we need to keep discussing Juventus and Pogba at the moment?
Isn't it reported that the two parties have officially parted ways so far, because indeed in addition to the doping case, Pogba injury history and age are strong reasons for Juventus to terminate Pogba contract, I think Pogba situation is very complicated because after all it will be difficult for his to return to their best form, especially if he plays in a competitive league later.
Arne Slot has always avoided answering questions about Alexander-Arnold future, although everyone knows that the player contract will expire in June 2025. Liverpool will certainly try their best to persuade him to stay at Anfield, amidst Real Madrid increasing interest. Letting him go in the January transfer window will reduce Liverpool bargaining power in every competition, indeed the Reds have Conor Bradley as a backup player, but it seems that he still cannot convince Arne Slot to occupy the right-back position regularly.
Actually, Liverpool are faced with a dilemma, Alexander-Arnold plays a key role in the negotiations, because staying or leaving all depends on himself. What is clear is that Liverpool do not want to lose out with Alexander-Arnold leaves on a free transfer.
Real Madrid want to make Alexander-Arnold a long-term plan, and for now, they really need a right-back after Carvajal suffered a serious injury. We have often seen, it is difficult for every player to refuse an offer from Real Madrid, Florentino Perez has a thousand ways to tame the player he is targeting.

I wouldn’t get ahead of my self but deals like this aren’t deals mean’t for the winter transfer window because the negotiations most at times takes long, for me Madrid is a club that can get just anybody they want but some players are seriously tied to some certain clubs that it takes alot to convince them to leave. Madrid have made it clear that they will approach this deal with upmost respect for Liverpool and would certainly go through Liverpool before any negotiations takes place. Liverpool on the other hand wouldn’t lose their gem just like that we all know how they treated Gerrard in the past, I see the same situation as this.
Madrid easiest buy should be Hakimi he would in my opinion be a good and easy option for them and more over they are not different in terms of inputs and stats

Juventus now have higher capacity to deal with young talents, they no longer have time to settler for age players because there's actually more potentials in the club. The coach, Thiago Motta have his own plans and the club's director, Cristiano Giuntoli have made his decision of parting ways with Paul Pogba and that's final. We should know that before any fierce decision is been taken, it have gone through the precess of thorough check from the team's board and generally agreed within them, so the case of Paul Pogba who's now a free agent because his contract have been terminated by the club, he will simply push harder to sign for any elite club, it might be outside Seria A.Also, it's clear their objectives are now different from when they signed him.

Paul Pogba is severely punished for his offense and he concord to the full blame for it. Doping have no room in Juventus and putting him up as an example is simply taking the ram by the horn, with Paul Pogba circumstances, no player would even dream to take such moves. The Frenchman learned his lessons from the mistakes he personally made, this happen to him in a hard way and it's time for him to rewrite a new chapter of his football career somewhere else.
I think Alexander would likely remain at Liverpool because he is most needed with the teams current performance and hopes for the premier League trophy. Many other performing players like Salah has also not yet been approached by same team for contract extension talks, so I believe Liverpool will likely have that talk with him and dissuade any move to the Spanish giant, Real Madrid.

According to a report in one of the news outlets I read, Hansi Flick and Deco had a meeting with Pogba to discuss the transfer process to Barcelona. If this news is true, perhaps Barcelona will release one of the midfielders who has been part of the starting XI in the main squad, De Jong might be released by Barcelona soon, especially in the last match Hansi Flick made him warm up throughout the second half and in the end he was not played.
Baye Coulibaly, young player owned by NK Kustosija and also part of the Mali U-17 National Team, is reportedly getting interest from one of the big Spanish team and also several other team, from the rumors circulating Atletico Madrid has tried to discuss an agreement to bring in Baye Coulibaly.
He is still 18 years old and by joining Atletico Madrid he can certainly develop his career as well as his potential skills in playing, I curious about how the agreement made by Atletico Madrid with NK Kustosija will be successful or not.

He said that he only wants to win trophies, I also think that he would like to extend his contract with Liverpool, but since such an offer has not followed, he will wait for other offers and he certainly will not be against becoming a Real Madrid player if he receives such an offer. He can go to Real as a free agent, Real Madrid manages to negotiate this with players, as they did with Mbappe, as PSG did not try to persuade him to stay in the team, he rejected all offers. If Alexander-Arnold wants to become a Real Madrid player, then nothing will stop him from doing the same.
Every player wants trophies, I think this is a very general statement. Alexander-Arnold can win trophies with Liverpool if he only wants trophies. But, if he wants a bigger chance to win a more prestigious trophies like UCL trophy, he needs to try luck joining Real Madrid. Although Liverpool is a big team, I'm not sure if Liverpool is strong enough to win UCL trophy. So, this will depend on what the goal to achieve by Arnold in his career. If Alexander-Arnold refuses the contract extension in Liverpool, it will be easier to move to Real Madrid. Meanwhile if he extends his contract with Liverpool, I think the chance to move to Real Madrid should be smaller. I doubt if Real Madrid wants to spend huge money to sign Alexander-Arnold. Real Madrid also has another option, Achraf Hakimi. The market value of Achraf Hakimi is cheaper, Real Madrid probably prefers Achraf Hakimi.
...
He’s probably waiting for his contract to expire with Liverpool so that he can join Real Madrid as maybe a free agent. Real Madrid are good at getting players at cheap rate and they won’t hesitate to also make this work out for themself for their own good. Arnold will be happy to join Real Madrid next season. He will get new experience there and will also get to win some trophy there to add to his career. I’m very sure he’ll not turn down that offer when it comes for him at the end of the season. Real Madrid just keeps getting better and strengthening their squad and they don’t look like they’re in rush to make things happen for the team, they’re taking their time to make the right decisions in this course. No team may be able to find the best fit to tamper Real Madrid soon because they’re just the best and they’re proving it always that they are.
Oh buddy I am sure that free agents are not that much cheaper. It's quite simple that the potential to make big money shifts from the club to the player when he becomes a free agent. Liverpool as well as Real Madrid would want him and Liverpool knows that if they have to replace Alexander-Arnold, it is going to be very expensive for them. Since they are aware of his quality, they could just make an offer with a signing bonus that he can't resist. Issue is that Real Madrid will do the same.
It is not like the contract expires and the next/new club signs him for free. It is quite the opposite. Whatever the transfer fee would have been by estimation, a large chunk of that money will go to the player instead. It's also a question of how Liverpool will perform. I think Alexander-Arnold will see after the season how it went and how competitive Liverpool is. I think the last word hasn't been spoken yet because Liverpool seems to be finding back to old strength. Of course it comes down to money then, but in Liverpool he is already a right defender legend. Does he want to give up that position and try something new? It's possible, but not set in stone yet I think.

Talking about Paul Pogba, I feel sad and sorry for a talent. Career ruined by a moment of carelessness. Juventus have indeed invested in several other players in the years since Paul Pogba's absence, and their squad is now complete. Juventus have made it clear that the club does not want him, even though Paul Pogba is willing to take a pay cut to continue his career at the most successful club in Italian football.
But anyway Teams like Olympique de Marseille and Los Angeles FC have shown interest in Paul Pogba. I think the Saudi Professional League will be the ideal place for Paul Pogba to return to the pitch and the most important thing is to earn some retirement money, I believe there will be some clubs in this league that will pay attention to Paul Pogba's talent.
The club is willing to part ways with the French midfielder because of the negative publicity he would bring to the club. In August Lorient's new manager, Olivier Pantaloni froze Benjamin Mendy from the club because of the effect of the rape allegation against him even when the court found him not guilty. Paul Pogba is desperate to remain in Italy but it might not happen.But anyway Teams like Olympique de Marseille and Los Angeles FC have shown interest in Paul Pogba.

There are possibilities that Olympique de Marseille, Major League Soccer or the Saudi Professional League will be his next destination. At 31 he should be considering playing for a few years and preparing for retirement except he has the same strength as Messi, Ronaldo or Modric.

Alexander-Arnold is not only a right-back but he is also one of the sources of creativity in Liverpool's attack and losing him would be very detrimental to Liverpool. Some reports that I read in the media Liverpool gave up on Alexander-Arnold's contract extension and they opened the opportunity for negotiations with Real Madrid but so far there has been no clarity. Unlike Mbappe's status who in reality does not want to stay at PSG so that the effort to negotiate a contract extension was unsuccessful because previously PSG had extended Mbappe's contract for one season.Actually, Liverpool are faced with a dilemma, Alexander-Arnold plays a key role in the negotiations, because staying or leaving all depends on himself.

Doesn't Madrid have no plans for January? So which one is right? They are interested in buying new players or still want to force the existing squad. Although ideally recruiting new players is very appropriate but until now there is no bright spot regarding Madrid plan to bring in players in January. Hopefully Florentino Perez thinks again, their defense is very vulnerable, when playing against Celta Vigo everyone can see how unsolid Madrid's defenders are at the moment.
Since it is not the transfer windows, I'm sure any team won't speak a lot about signing any new player. But if we look at the condition of Real Madrid squad, I think it is necessary to sign 2-3 new players. Florentino Perez and Ancelotti shouldn't talk much about the plan of signing new players. However, this doesn't mean they will revoke the plan to sign new players.

None is gonna be recruited by Real Madrid. It's their tradition. They rarely sign new players mid-season. It can disrupt their rhythm. Though, they're underperforming, but I understand why the coach did it.
Even Real Madrid rarely signed new players in the mid-season previously, it doesn't mean Real Madrid will be no chance to sign new players in this mid-season. They may not sign new players if their performance is good already, but currently their performance is not satisfying. There is also some injured players, it will be a problem if there is no new players.
Yes Paul Pogba returned to Juventus after being banned for doping but things have not gone well. Club has moved on and does not need him anymore. This is sad for Pogba talented player who made mistakes. He will likely leave Juventus without team. But Pogba career is not over. He wants to play in different league and has been training hard to stay fit. Top clubs should consider signing Pogba. He has experience and is working hard. New start can help Pogba career.
He came back just to solve the problems he created, but not to play for Juventus and for now the conditions are not so good before he finds a new club.
His career depends on the club who wants to buy him and I have no doubts about Pogba's ability and quality but he has to regain the confidence of himself and the fans.
Pogba has to work hard again to show people that his career is not over and he also has to stay away from doping so he doesn't have the same problems.
But anyway Teams like Olympique de Marseille and Los Angeles FC have shown interest in Paul Pogba. I think the Saudi Professional League will be the ideal place for Paul Pogba to return to the pitch and the most important thing is to earn some retirement money, I believe there will be some clubs in this league that will pay attention to Paul Pogba's talent.

Transfer rumors continue to abound even though the transfer market is over. Many clubs already have long-term plans for the future of the club. Another news is that Jamie Gittens, a Borussia Dortmund player, has pretty good statistics. Positioned as a left wing he has made 6 goals. This makes Tottenham and Arsenal interested. Reportedly Dortmund gave a price of € 50 million. Other news is that Chelsea will not try to sell Mykhailo Mudryk in January. He is still very young and there is plenty of time to keep improving.

Bad news for Paul Pogba who returned to the club after serving his long term match ban for doping. Juventus director, Cristiano Giuntoli have other plans for the club and it seems to be rather too late for the Frenchman to have a spot in Juventus this season, Giuntoli have other plans to explore for the club and they’re already made a complete team without Paul Pogba. Heartbreaking to see such a classic footballer been forcefully removed from the club, Paul Pogba will leave the club as a free agent and we knows what that simply means for him.
No atom of hope for the frenchman to play in Juventus jersey again. One mistake might ruined your whole football career, we’re talking about a legacy Paul Pogba have build so hard all these years. Moreover he can write a new chapter somewhere else because he’s keen to move to other league outside Seria A. In the mean time, other elite clubs are yet to place a bid for Paul Pogba considering the fact that he’s still proactive as before, he’s training nonstop just to bounce back to his stellar stats and physique in football.

Currently with the statement given, of course Pogba must find a new place for him to return to being a professional player and currently there are several clubs that are actually rumored to be approaching Pogba to make a new contract later.
Currently Marseille is still the strongest candidate and there are indeed some rumors that say that Patrice Evra is also urging Marseille to accommodate Pogba so that he can still be quite likely to be in Ligue 1 if indeed this offer occurs.
