Is coach the problem of the club? I don't think so because the board are too quick to change coach simply because he failed to win vital matches for the club, don't forget the exact same coach is suffering from his end to fixed himself into the system. Napoli board should exercise patience because they're the ones single-handedly ruining the glorious moments for Parthenopeans this season. Napoli president, Aurelio De Laurentiis should take things easy, we know how desperate he's keen on watching the positive development of his team but this requires step by step and gradual planning.

Why Napoli seems to hurry firing Walter Mazzarri? I think Napoli management must wait for the match against Barcelona first. Although they are no longer patient with the bad results got by Walter Mazzarri. But let him to manage Napoli for the match against Barcelona. I assume it should be better to be managed by Walter Mazzarri than the new coach. I'm not really familiar with Francesco Calzona, I think Walter Mazzarri is still more experienced coach for a big match. As far as I know Francesco Calzona was just an assistant manager, he has no much experience to be a head coach (manager).

I don't know why Napoli wants to hire Francesco Calzona. Napoli has an option to find out a new coach. I think there are still many other coaches who have better ability than Francesco Calzona. Napoli must hire a top coach who often win the trophies if they want to improve Napoli. If they only hired an average coach again, I'm not sure with the future of Napoli.

To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if Marseille fired the coaching hot seat again for its squad. yeah, referring to sources reported by Romano, it seems that Gennaro Gattuso will have to part ways with Marseille. naturally, after the club fired Marcelino, Gattuso replaced him and is expected to improve the performance of Marsielle's team. but unfortunately, this Italian coach was unable to bring Marseille back to its strong side in the Ligue 1 competition. so, in one season Marseille changed 2 coaches. referring to his statistics with Marsielle, in 24 matches in various competitions. Gattuso was only able to win 9 matches, 8 matches with a draw and 7 defeats. It seems that what Gattuso did with his team did not make the club management happy.

Since Igor Tudor left Marseille, this team seems to have lost direction and experienced a decline. currently, Marseille is only able to be in 9th place in the standings in Ligue 1..On the other hand, it is rumored that Gattuso's comments after the match against Brest are considered to be one of the factors that made Marseille officials sack him. as he said, we hit rock bottom. when you reach the lowest level, you have to take responsibility and there is nothing to say, "Gattuso". On the other hand, based on Romano's report, Marseille is currently targeting former Ivory Coast national team coach Jean-Louis Gasset to become Gattuso's replacement. well, let's just wait for developments.

Yes. There are few sources that claiming Mbappe has decided joining Real Madrid. I'm not surprised to know Mbappe has 5 years contract with Real Madrid. Real Madrid must try to give a contract as long as possible, they want to secure Mbappe to stay with Real Madrid. However, Mbappe must have a lower salary because Real Madrid has a maximum amount of money to be the salary for each player. I think this is a positive way, Mbappe won't be too high salary as in PSG currently.

Sure, Mbappe will have a bigger chance to win UCL trophy and domestic trophy with Real Madrid. It is the most team to win UCL trophy, Real Madrid is the best option for this reason.

The saga about Madrid, Mbappe and PSG has been around since 2022 and now we are again being treated to speculation about Mbappe and these two giant clubs, In fact apart from Madrid, many clubs are interested in bringing in Mbappe, but the problem at the moment is the issue of high salaries. For Liverpool and Manchester City, I haven't found any information about their interest in Mbappe, but if that's true then we will see lots of star players again next season in the EPL and it will clearly make the competition in the EPL even more exciting, but I also haven't confirmed whether it's true or not because there are rumors circulating that in fact now Mbappe has officially signed a contract with Madrid until 2029 and it is also reported that Mbappe will receive a salary of up to 10.3 million pounds per season at Madrid.

It is true that Madrid really needs an ideal striker in the front line, who can be used as a replacement for the role left by Benzema. however, sometimes the media creates a lot of rumors where quite a few of us fully believe what they say, even though in reality there is currently no agreement whatsoever between Madrid-Mbappe-PSG.

I think as long as there is no official statement, Mbappe transfer can only be considered a rumor for the time being, even though it will eventually become a reality. other big european clubs are also very interested in Mbappe, because they can recruit him without having to pay transfer fees. So far, I'm still very curious about how PSG won't suffer losses if Mbappe leaves as a free agent.

It's just a matter of time, when the transfer window opens again it will be clear where Mbappe is going, speculation is that the top team is Madrid. What needs to be underlined is that Madrid is still a big club that can win the Champions League trophy, even though Mbappe has failed to be recruited again.

Totally agree with you, this whole Mbappe news is very confusing....I have already seen some bookies here give some details of how the deal will happen, stating he will move to Madrid in July & that he has signed until 2029 and also going on to give extra details that he will be paid €15-20 million per season plus €50 million in bonuses...

But what I don't understand is why the big media houses aren't reporting this development, and on Twitter/X I expected this to be trending news but it's all quiet, tried YouTube but it all looks like all clickbait and I don't know what to believe now...will keep an eye on this one.

It is still early days as everyone knows that things can become wildly speculative when the transfer window comes closer. I am sure that there will be rumors about Haaland and Real Madrid as well. Although I don't believe that Haaland would go to Real Madrid, the rumors will surely come up and they will change the landscape of how people will then talk about potential transfers.

What role will Liverpool play and can Manchester even do it without risking financial fair play issues? The Premier League has become stricter I feel and buying Mbappe would raise some questions. He is a free agent, but that doesn't mean that any club has to pay one penny less for his signature. Mbappe will squeeze the opportunity like never before. If you are him and you are about to become a free agent, that is better than a magnificent lottery win.

But when you look at some of the investments that other clubs made over the last few years, then there are some very rich clubs that have a lot of financial scope to play around with. Everyone is talking about Mbappe and Real Madrid most of the time, but as always I think we will see some huge surprises in the transfer market.

The only possible choices will be osimhen and guirassy. I don't see other alternatives than those guys. Lautaro was very loyal to the intermilan, he had been approaced by several teams last season but it was not even working. leao is working on how to improve his performance in acmilan, his contract will end at 2028.
It's impossible to put him as a candidate to become a new striker for PSG. enrique has been changing mbappe's position from LF to the striker. The club needs a new number nine and im only seeing that if osimhen or guirassy as the best choices for the club.
Let's wait on which striker that's gonna be the main choice for the club. I hope that the club will able to find the best choice for this. Missing mbappe as striker will give a lot of impact to the performance from the club. I hope that PSG will find someone who can replace him asap.

Real Madrid are in pole position to sign Mbappe, but in football anything can happen, sometimes when it is almost certain a player is heading in one direction, we have seen them hijacked by another team, and it could happen this time. Both City and Liverpool are perfect destinations for Mbappe, since he is definitely taking a cut in his wages, then they can definitely afford him. Mbappe has also held small talks with Liverpool in the past and he has also disclosed that his mum is a Liverpool supporter, so maybe there is a chance.

Having said that, the only problem these clubs might have with Mbappe is his attitide and when he joins any of them, he definitely has to work on it, for example, if he plays for Real Madrid, he must understand that it is a different environment from PSG, and no player is bigger than the Madrid team, but this is just a trivial thing that i'm pretty sure the player will work on.

The news about Mbappe's transfer is very confusing at the moment. maybe the media also creates too much speculative news which confuses readers.
The most appropriate place for Mbappe is Madrid. that's what I see. but there is also news regarding Liverpool and Man City also approaching Mbappe's agent. we don't know the truth, but rumors like that continue to highlight the player.
I know that because he is a young player with extraordinary talent. If Madrid really gets it, it will be an achievement that Madrid really wants. because they really need it.

It's one thing to be a great player and totally another different thing to be a good manager and that's why we've seen so many former football greats who didn't end up as great managers as well as so many many great managers who didn't have impressive records as football players. Gennaro Gattuso have been able to manage different top clubs in Europe including AC Milan, Napoli Fiorentina and even Valencia before becoming the manager of French club Marseille but none of these spells with these top clubs was he able to win major trophies. Early this morning, it was reported that he's been sacked by the management of Marseille for his poor performance with the club.


Real Madrid president Fiorentino Perez have never hidden his admiration for France national team captain Kylian Mbappe and this is not the first time he's made official offer to sign the player to Real Madrid on a permanent basis. However I'm very optimistic that he's gonna finally land him to the Santiago Bernabeu at the end of the current season because the player is also very much interested in joining Real Madrid

Real Madrid have higher priorities to meet this season, really one of the good decision made by the president of Madrid, Florentino Pérez who took everything upon himself to ensure this Kylian Mbappe move to Santiago Bernabéu possible. He's a big admirer for the Frenchman and have sets his technique to win him over and this time, he was not desperate because he already have sets of incredible players. However, when the time is right, we will watch the trembling move of Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid, exactly what we're seeing this present day.

I see that some sources write that Mbappe signed a contract with Real Madrid for 5 seasons. And he will officially become a Real Madrid player from July this year. The contract offer ended up being less than it was in 2022, and his salary will be less than at PSG. This means it’s not about money, Mbappe understands that he has more prospects in Real Madrid, he can win more trophies and the Champions League is a higher priority among them.

Napoli situation is getting worse and the club president wants to save Napoli from further setbacks. It is possible that if they continue to retain Walter Mazzarri they will be eliminated from the top 10 of the standings, and will be eliminated early in the Champions League. appointing Francesco Calzona is not right considering the timing, he needs preparation to face Barcelona who actually have a better chance. Napoli management mistake was letting Luciano Spalletti leave, and appointing Rudi Garcia, who was not at all ideal, to coach Napoli.

Rudi Garcia previous substitution was also very risky, fortunately Walter Mazzarri was able to maintain the transition period in the team well, But then he also made Napoli go backwards. Osimhen injury was also another factor, Which caused Napoli to experience a decline in performance. Francesco Calzona looks like he will suffer the same fate as the previous coach, he does not have adequate preparation, and the risks he holds will be greater than he thinks in the future.

One of these rumors were linked mbappe to the barcelona.

https://www.goal.com/en/lists/kylian-mbappe-barcelona-joan-laporta-four-word-response-fan-request-psg-superstar/blt64aad5941fdf344a#csedfde8a79222d1a5

Laporta has been confirmed that if barcelona may not sign him as a new player. it can be seen from the result in his interview. He was saying that if the fans didn't know anything and laughing to the journalist who has interviewed him. I think that barcelona will never ever able to get mbappe.
Mbappe is demanding very high salary for himself and barcelona has no ability to make it happen. Im thinking that if this is also confirming that if barcelona has rejected a rumor about club tries tor ecruit him as the new player.

It was fucking disaster for the club if barcelona to sell a lot of players for mbappe. I hope that i was wrong but seeing barcelona financially bad makes me think that this is the truth about barcelona. Even the club needs to raise hundred million to buy a new player from other club.
The debt has been burdening barcelona. This club is slowly dying. it may be bankrupt very soon.

Actually, it's not wrong if Manchester City wants to get Mbappe but with a note that they are ready to lose Haaland because of this.
We can know that until now Manchester City are still always messing around with FFP rumors and a lot of demands where they are considered to violate the provisions in finance so that when they are preparing to bring Mbappe, it is certain that Haaland will leave Manchester City because after all, apart from the financial conditions that must be unstable in income and expenses if Haaland and Mbappe are in the same squad, this will also be considered as Manchester City being immune to the rules in FFP.
This is clearly impossible and I think Manchester City and Mbappe even if it's true but this is just a bluff to feel Madrid is a rival and want to enliven the headlines in the news.
What you say is also true in that they wouldn't be prepared to destroy their current perfect squad just for Mbappe.

However, this headline in the news immediately became quite a hot topic even though something like this is just a game and is unlikely to happen.

logically speaking, Man City will not need a player like Mbappe and it is impossible for Guardiola to destroy Man City line up which is currently perfect, it will change for the worse when he forces to bring in Mbappe and the only question that answers these rumors is what will happen to Haaland if Mbappe really joins Manchester City?
this question is quite clear, if the line up will be very bad when a team already has a great striker player and bringing in another quality striker will definitely make one of the players feel uncomfortable because both quality players both want to score big to get the top scorer award.
and on the one hand Man City players are perfect enough with no problems so it will just be a rumor.

different from Real Madrid, logically it needs a pure striker like Mbappe because even though Madrid has several attacking players, they always win only with a narrow winning score, even though it is quite perfect, the strength of the attack line will be more impressive if they have Mbappe.
but I wouldn't get my hopes up because drama will definitely occur in every Mbappe transfer and I would rather hope that Ancelotti has a more perfect alternative than hoping for Mbappe arrival.

Acmilan is not helping him to improve his performance. It can be seen from how leao has no good improvement this season. He has been so wasteful and it was bad decision for him to extend his contract for long term. Im expecting better from him but he was not able giving it. My expectation for him is too big this season.
Im feeling disappointed with his performance since early season. The bad thing for him to stay for another year in the milan. It's bad for him if he was unwilling to leave from his comfort zone. He can developm himself even better when he got better challenge.
I think that we will not be seeing another improvement from him. This is pretty much the same like when osimhen got some offers but he decided to stay in napoli till his old contract ended. Osimhen was aware about that and he requested napoli to put release clause when there will be a club that is willing to buy him.
Acmilan needs to find someone to replace giroud. Leaso needs also to consider leaving from the comfort zone. he needs to go that to get more knowledge and experience from other club which was better compared to the acmilan. Im still be patience waiting for him to join in the EPL.

I think Napoli's choice to fire Mazzarri before a crucial Champions League match was wild. Napoli's management must be thinking something. Mazzarri's results arent great, but the timing? Changing tires on a moving car is like that. Francesco Calzona, who isnt a well-known head coach, was hired. Its risky, but he's worked under some big names and having Hamsik on the coaching staff adds nostalgia. It makes me anxious. Napoli seems to oscillate between anticipation and disappointment. You'd think they'd choose someone with more power, given the stakes.
