Kelvin Phillips' performance at Manchester City is another reason example of a player who left the club he was performing extremely well to go to much bigger club and ended up as a flop. As midfielder for Leeds, Kelvin Phillips was simply one of the best defensive midfielders in the English Premier League and was on e of the best performers in the league between 2020-2022 that he left the club. After signing for Manchester City in the summer of 2022 many were of the opinion that he was gonna defensive midfield rockie like Manchester City's legend Fernandinho but unfortunately for him and the club that spent hugely to bring him to the Etihad stadium, Kelvin Phillips have not been able to replicate his form at Leeds in his current club.

Now that he's struggling to get a playing time at Manchester City, the England international is trying to force a move away from the club in other to get more playing time that might see him picked by England manager to play in the summers UEFA Euros Championship but that I don't think will be possible at the moment. Pep Guardiola I think have given Kelvin Phillips the needed time to prove himself to the club but he failed to use those times to cement his place as a regular starter in the team. The best thing for him to do now is to move to another club and see if he can revive his career again because I don't think he can do well at Manchester City probably because of the clubs style of football.

Yes, there are indeed several rumors about this. but it was Low himself who later refused the rumors. In his interview, he said this:

It seems he also wants to become a club coach which can motivate him more. He already knows many clubs in the Bundesliga, knows them very well, from stadium to stadium. but apparently, that didn't interest him. He even thought that Bayern Munich would not be interested in him.

Currently, Bayern Munich is experiencing a quite complicated position and its performance is really dropping from time to time. However, Bayern Munich views this as one of Tuchel's big responsibilities. But on the other hand, Tuchel himself said that he is not the only problem that created this condition at the club. Meanwhile, on the other hand, Bayern Munich hopes that next season, they will get coaching stability which will be able to make Bayern Munich strong again and not be shifted again, especially in the Bundesliga. However, we'll see later whether Bayern Munich's next choice of coach will be better than Tuchel or not.

The fact that now he wants to leave is obvious, especially after that scandal when, due to SMM management, he began to blame the entire club for unfair treatment of himself. But a year ago the situation was different and Osimhen had a plan to “continue to play in Napoli, gain a foothold as a top striker and then choose a top club to leave.” The plan was really worthy (and not like other young players who immediately try to get into a top club, and then either sit on the bench or go on loan), but he could not foresee that Napoli would fail like that.
Now Osimhen obviously needs to leave, but PSG is not the best choice.

Kalvin Philips was impress Guardiola on season 2022 so that's why Guardiola was decide to bought Kalvin Philips from Leeds but unfortunately Kalvin Philips was got long term injured which make he lost his place on Manchester City starting lineup and when Kalvin Philips was recover from his injured he was failed to adapt with this team and this make Manchester City has decide to loan him to West Ham because they want Kalvin Philips can gets much opportunities to playing regularly but unfortunately at West Ham too Kalvin Philips failed to earn trust from David Moyes which make Kalvin Philips only became an substitution player and since January Kalvin Philips only played 4 times in Premier League with West Ham

Leeds probably will thinking to bought him from Manchester City but only if they able to promoted to Premier League because if Leeds can return to Premier League again then i am sure they will bought several players to strengthen their squad including Kalvin Philips which probably will into Leeds buy lists for next season and i am sure Manchester City will let Kalvin Philips to leave as long as Leeds are willing to bought him with decent price and i am sure this transfer will more likely to happend because Kalvin Philips have no places anymore into Manchester City squad especially Kalvin Philips has lost to compete with Rodri for midfielder position

Saudi Arabia is continuing its hunt for football's biggest names, with Man City midfielder Kevin de Bruyne and Liverpool's Mohamed Salah among the top targets. Man City currently has a lot of worries about De Bruyne choosing to move to Saudi Arabia at the end of the season. The Belgian star's class is still very useful for Man City. However, considering the two sides have not yet successfully negotiated an extension, Man City can sell De Bruyne this summer to avoid losing everything next year. And Bruyne's injury problem is also worrying them right now. Re-injury is entirely possible. Right now, the choice belongs to De Bruyne, but it is likely that the contract that Man City wants to sign will only be short-term, lasting 1-2 years.

I'm thinking Foden can replace De Bruyne? Foden gradually proved to Pep that he could become a leader at Man City with the constant learning spirit of a big superstar.

De Bruyne prestige in the EPL is still very ideal and despite saying that, of course any player would want to play on the same team as Ronaldo. so for now I still support him staying in Europe for a longer 1 or 2 seasons which is still possible. De Bruyne is different from other players in that his level of strategy in breaking down the opponent's defense is beyond doubt. Al Nassr only needs to know about his interest in going to a Saudi Arabian club and the club will definitely be interested in getting his signature.

Moreover his presence at Manchester City is still needed, his leadership spirit is the key to the team's success or De Bruyne departure will not be far from Pep Guardiola departure in the future.

Yes, I agree with you, at least De Bruyne will stay until Pep Guardiola finds a suitable replacement to fill the void after De Bruyne leaves.
It is very difficult to see a key Manchester City player have to leave the club but nevertheless it is his wish to be able to compete with Ronaldo as a dream that he must achieve.
In fact, Manchester City won't have much of a bad impact when De Bruyne leaves the club, but with De Bruyne he very strong, able to compete against big clubs in all competitions, but even though there is still Haaland, he also needs a contribution from De Bruyne who always provides the right breakthrough passes. and gave Haaland the opportunity to score.

Regarding De Bruyne replacement when he leaves MC, currently there are no exact rumors about who the candidate will replace him because De Bruyne current transfer actually still a rumor that has not been confirmed so there still at least 1 more season for De Bruyne to make a contribution best for MC if want to go to Al Nassr.

If De Bruyne said so then maybe he could seriously think of leaving if an offer comes from Al Nassr FC.  It is very enjoyable to watch him in Europe now so I would really like him to stay for another season but let's see.

He is one of the most critical players for Manchester City now. You know he is playing a huge role in the team to be more productive. After his recovery from his injury he started to play like nothing happened. This consistency is another great thing to see about him. I would be curious about with whom Manchester City would like to fill his place in case he decides to leave this summer. It isn't easy to find a special player like him. 

I have no further doubts that he'll want to leave the club either of Manchester City or West Ham United. Has he even got good minutes on the pitch sinc he's left for West Ham United on loan? That I'm not so sure of either.
I know he considers Leeds United to be home and will take everything to go back to the good old days. But why do I feel like this feels like going back to your Ex? If playing for Leeds United gives him solitude and his peace of mind, then he should seize the opportunity by the balls when it cmes clear for him.

I don't know who to blame right. Should it be Pep Guardiola or should it be Kalvin Philips?

Pep Guardiola did had a chance to bring him on as the only perfect name to replace Rodri who was absent during that game but he didn't not. ( I can still recall it's the gane against Aston Villa )
Or am I to blame Kalvin Philips for adding weight? At least he has all of these equipments to keep him fit, why slack?

Bayer Leverkusen has a record of 33 consecutive unbeaten matches and is firmly at the top of the table. Coach Xabi Alonso's students also have the best unbeaten record in German football history, breaking the record held by Bayern Munich. I am sure that Bayer Leverkusen is always aiming for the championship title. Even if Bayern Munich performs well in the remaining matches of the season, it will be impossible to catch up with them. Xabi's teachers and students appear very energetic and can still be explosive until the end of the season.

Xabi Alonso is currently the most sought-after coach in the world. Leverkusen's eye-catching, flexible, and exciting playing style explains why this former famous player is so sought after. Just nod to join Bayern Munich or other clubs. Coach Xabi Alonso is expected to receive a much higher salary at Leverkusen. But for now, Xabi Alonso should focus until the end of the season. The rest of this season is becoming a process of proving his talent to big clubs.

Due to Xabi Alonso's good performance with Leverkusen, it made him one of the coaches who were in great demand by teams that were in need of a coach. Liverpool became one of the names of the team that was rumored to be very interested in working with Xabi Alonso after it was confirmed Jurgen Klopp would not be there for next season. I think it is very natural when he becomes the target of a big team like Liverpool because he does have selling points when he managed to bring Leverkusen to his best game.
Apart from Liverpool, Bayern Munich are also reportedly interested in bringing Xabi to be part of them. Indeed Bayern Munich is a team that has such habits, when players or coaches in the Bundesliga can make them depressed then they will recruit them. This news also makes the position of their current coach threatened.

That is not a strange thing because after all, with the current situation with Bayern Tuchel will definitely be the target in this case especially since we must also be aware of Bayern performance which although it still looks good but if the comparison is with previous seasons they have declined slightly.

Tuchel is not a bad coach but his vision in coaching and with the philosophy that Bayern have does not seem to be too suitable which makes this an inevitable gap that makes their performance experience a slight decline .
There are currently some rumors being said about Tuchel and Bayern where surely Bayern are looking for an alternative new coach and news from the previous few weeks also Tuchel was linked with several clubs including Barcelona but for now it is likely that we will wait until the end of the season and the summer transfer which reopens because it is a moment that is quite appropriate for a reshuffle of management including players and coaches.

Bayern Munich had much experienced catch up the rival team in the last crucial match before success winning domestic league, although remaining 8 points I don't sure Xabi Alonso in the comfortable position for winning domestic league. Currently many teams have announced interested for signing him and make little confusing focus with Bayern Leverkusen until the end of domestic league.
Xabi Alonso become most trading in social media twitter linked and rumored will be manager for many interested teams from Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Liverpool. Its related the interested teams for signing him have space for manager position after leaving by their manager before this season ended. Will Xabi Alonso focus awhile with Bayern Leverkusen and winning domestic league trophy or he has decision to be manager with any interested teams for next season.

Xabi was not only successfully giving chance for leverkusen to stay at the top but he was also helping leverkusen to break bayern's record. Leverkusen is still unbeatable this time and it has been surpassing bayern's record. It will be so strange if there will be people who will be feeling strange with this.
The statement made by mourinho and pep guariola were true about him. They have predicted that this guy to be as good as them and xabi is slowly but surely showing that if he will be a potential coach for the club. Im feeling very happy by seeing there is a club that can break bayern's record. The chance to win the competition is still there.
Bayern munich potentially lose chance to continue its domination this season. This is why bayen munich is now targeting xabi alonso to be a new coach but the club has not yet approached him. I hope that leverkusen will able to give his best.

Xabi alonso is going even closer to the trophy right now. The chance owned by bayern munich becomes even smaller since its competitor keep continue its record. It took less than two years for xabi to overhaul leverkusen to be as good as now. Im sure that if any club owbners are feeling so amazing with it.
Some clubs were also trying to approach him but it seems xabi is still willing to stay much longer in the leverkusen. The Main factor leverusen could perform like this caused by xabi's existence in the club.
He was a new coach but he has so many experiences caused by he wasting his life in the big clubs. Xabi is a very intelligence coach.

So far, Xabi Alonso has succeeded in bringing opportunities for Leverkusen to be in the race for the Bundesliga title and they have even been able to break Bayern Munich's dominance as one of the kings of the Bundesliga. Leverkusen's success cannot be separated from Xabi Alonso's ability to manage the team and he succeeded in motivating the players to have self-confidence and they also continue to fight without being defeated until now. Xabi Alonso will create new history in the Bundesliga and he has achieved several good records that no other coach has ever achieved.

It is difficult to catch Leverkusen's position even though Bayern Munich is one of the teams that still has a good chance of catching up. If play consistently then I really believe that Xabi Alonso will give Leverkusen the title and the opportunity is still quite big. Hopefully the busy schedule will not result in injuries to several key players because it is feared it could affect the match.

Man United is not the right option for Mbappe and it will only be the same as being at PSG, he will not get a bright career in the long term because the problems that continue to occur at Man United make this team seem to have lost its glory days and for me it is impossible for Mbappe to want to join Man United.
logically, we all know that Mbappe has got what he wanted during his time at PSG, but the only thing he can't get is a brilliant career in europe biggest competition and that will be very important for a great player like Mbappe, even all the players want to experience getting experience title in the UCL and there is only one hope now to join Real Madrid because this team is the only one that can provide a guarantee of being able to provide the experience of getting a title in the UCL and provide a bright future for Mbappe career.

I actually don't want to compare the two Real Madrid teams with Man United but because in fact Man United has really lost its glory days and even always fails in the UCL even though it has got quality players but in fact all of that is just a dream for Man United which can no longer be achieved like now Man United already has Hojlund and this player is very quality for me but look Man United failed to qualify for the next round in the UCL.
meanwhile, Real Madrid, which only has its main players, even though it lacks a pure striker, can still go further in the UCL because Madrid has too much experience and if Mbappe joins Madrid, it will be the perfect line up and will be a reliable striker to win prestigious titles in the coming season come even though the salary is not too big.

I hope so but i have heard that if saudi pro league wants to chase him. I meant that if he will become the main target by saudi pro league for the upcoming season. Things will be so hard for saudi pro legue to gep him. Even though manchester city has not yet sent a new offer for de bruyne regarding the new contract but im skepticism regarding this caused by de bruyen has become the main pivot for manchester city till this time. he was more than 30 years old but his performance is always amazing. No doubt that if saudi pro league may be sending city very big offer to get him. Im not really sure if city will let him go and join in another club.

We are curious to find out what measures the city will implement in order to resolve this matter. I think Manchester City wants to take measures to prevent this, they should consider sending a new offer to him. I think that if this is the best choice that can be done by manchester city. Guardiola was always willing t see him stay in the city caused by this guy was his favorite player. No doubt that if saudi pro legue must send very big offer to get de bruyne from city. De bruyne has become the most important asset owned by the club. Haaland will not be so effective without having good attacking midfielder that was alwasy helping him to score.

Things are going even harder for the club since pep has not yet found the best replacement for de bruyne. It means that if city must able to get a new player as his successor as soon as possible. this is not going to be an easy job to be done.

Bayern Munich is facing problems that are causing them to fall behind in the standings and Tuchel is again one of those at issue, rumors of change of coach have emerged for some time and may occur at the end of this season.
If we talk about Joachim Low, he is actually quite great coach, after all, Joachim Low is also the former coach of the German national team who was able to bring Germany to win the 2014 World Cup and also the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup.
If he wants to become Bayern Munich coach, it can give them hope of being able to perform consistently again next season by becoming Bundesliga champions, for now, Bayern Munich will not change coaches quickly and this will be done when this season competition is over.

Seeing Leverkusen being able to dominate Bundesliga matches so well and still being the only unbeaten team really gives them huge opportunity to emerge as champions.
But all of this is also worth it because the change of coach that was made last season by bringing in Xabi has indeed succeeded in bringing about very big changes.

Not even half a season at West Ham has made Kalvin Philips' name emerge again because his former academy team, Leeds United, is interested in bringing him back. The start of Kalvin Philips' career when he was still at Leeds United and his performance as a defensive midfielder was so good that Manchester City were interested in signing him in 2022. However, unlike what he thought, he would get decent playing minutes at Manchester City, but instead he often spent his time on the bench and that was what changed his decision to accept a loan offer from West Ham until the end of this season.

Well, now of course Leeds United has to negotiate with Manchester City because Kalvin Philips will return to the Etihad Stadium after his contract with West Ham ends. However, there are also questions because Kalvin Philips' contract will end in June 2024 and if Manchester City does not extend it then Leeds United could get him as a free agent and that would be very profitable. But that all happens if Leeds United succeeds in promotion to the EPL next season considering that currently they are still struggling to qualify and become champions in the championship division.

I hope so but there was a rumor about saudi club is stepping up to sign de bruyne as the new player. it can be seen from various news that have been published. I hope that everything will fine for him. De bruyne must be staying much longer in the club. It will be a disaster if manchester city will be selling him. it's caused by de bruyne was still playing as one of important player in the club. Guardiola must not make stupid mistake to sell him for saudi pro league club. De bruyne's contribution was still bigger compared to the rest of player in the club. I think that pep will try to keep him much longer. We can't deny that he was still in the uncertainty caused by the talk regarding the new contract has not yet begun.
It makes me think that if de bruyne deserves more than it but city has not yet started to talk over the new contract for him. Pep must keep him caused by de bruyne was a player who was always contributing a lot to the club. De bruyne must be staying even longer in the club.
Pep will be blunder if he will intend to sell him for money to the saudi pro league club. Even though de bruyne is old enough but his conttribution is still a lot for manchester city. I thought that he needs to stay for the more seasons in city. It's caused by he was the most important player in the club.
He is now even more important compared to the foden or haaland.
