Smart is not enough, there must be skills
^ I am hearing some rumors about him being targeted by Liverpool and Aston Villa. I am really not sure about these rumors. But if Mane leaves Liverpool I think Suarez can be a replacement. Even though he will not be able to give his service for a long time I believe there will be at least a good replacement. And it is obviously good to get a player like him for free.

I did hear something about Aston Villa and Suarez but I think he is not going to be a primary target for Steven Gerrard.
I think moving to Liverpool is not the best option for Suarez even though he is a top ex-player at Liverpool. Suarez will not be able to compete with other younger strikers he will not get enough minutes if he moves to Liverpool. Aston Villa are much more realistic for Suarez but there is no word yet on that possibility at this time.

Gerrard will probably try to get a player who is younger than Suarez, but of course I don't think Suarez is finished. He's still earning for but will probably be outmatched by other strikers. At Aston Villa he will have the opportunity to combine with Coutinho, it would be good in my opinion if Suarez gets a chance at Aston Villa.
Obviously choosing Liverpool for his club is not an easy thing for Suarez he is old not like he used to be and Klopp prefers young and talented players with Suarez not the criteria Klopp wants so the rumors don't exist.

Whether Suarez chooses Aston Villa, he must know the consequences because in the EPL a tight league, even if Suarez is old, he must be able to compete again there, even with coach Steven Gerrard, who used to play together.

I heard it but I am surprised with the transfer price for Tchouameni. It is too expensive in my opinion. In addition, with Tchouameni, Real Madrid will not get too much additional income from jersey selling, marketing etc. It is opposite to traditional approach of Real Madrid on transfer market. Usually they are ready to pay expensive transfer cost for star players who can help them to get good results and income from football and from marketing too.

Although it seems too expensive, but if Real Madrid buy Tchouameni and he develops there, this will be a big advantage for Real Madrid considering Tchouameni's age is still quite young. There is nothing more profitable in football than selling potential players.

The presence of Rudiger can already complete the Real Madrid defense.  Militao doesn't look very strong, but next season he will be starting to mature and is very suitable for a duet with Rudiger.  Alaba could have been returned to his original position at left back.  Tchouameni is Real Madrid's main target to regenerate the midfield, because in this position many players have started to age.  Real Madrid also release a lot of old players, so it is imperative for them to find replacements to add depth to the squad.  Maybe for the next season, Ancelotti can still rely on the existing squad.

Although Militao's form has not been very visible this season, I'm sure he will improve next season, we have to remember that adaptation is very important in football, and I'm also really looking forward to the partnership between Rudiger - Militao in the main defense.

I think there is a possibility that Suarez could play for the Premier League team next season because based on what I have seen of him then his performances are still quite good. Suarez doesn't want to retire from football yet and he is still an important player for his country, so I think in the near future we will know his future.
I did not find any news if Suarez decided to hang up his boots so there is no valid information about retiring from football, Suarez apparently does not accept the termination of his contract with the Atletico Madrid team at the end of this season and really hopes that the decision will be reconsidered to defend the Altetico madrid team for next season. So which team is lucky to add Suarez to strengthen the first team in next season's game?

I don't think Real Madrid's defense is weak last season. Their defense is stable enough. At the same time they have a great goalkeeper. Courtois is very talented. Real Madrid should strengthen their attack.
If someone says Real Madrid defense is weak, then what is the most losing goals ever conceded to Real Madrid, Real Madrid have Courtois the greatest goalkeeper and even though they escape the Real Madrid defense but will not have a chance to score a goal from goalkeeper Courtois.
True, Real Madrid have a stable defense even that is confirmed by the appearance of their excellent goalkeeper, Courtois. Maybe some people think that Real Madrid's defense is weak because they saw Courtois being the last stronghold that was difficult to penetrate, so Real Madrid's defense didn't seem so dominant.

Real madrid goal keeper needs to be acknowledged,  he is one of the reasons why Real Madrid were able to win many trophies by saving a lots of shots in laliga and Champions league. People always talk more about Real Madrid defense thinking that is their defense that makes them to win all their games, but their defenses are not good some times and when opponents get to the goalkeeper with shots ,  it is only the goalkeeper to save the ball from the net times like this.

Nobody said Courtois was bad because it was very clear that in terms of goalkeeping at Real Madrid, Courtois deserved a lot of appreciation because his saves were extraordinary, but it would be very complete if Real Madrid's defensive line became stronger again. So a goalkeeper like Courtois won't be too tired in saving a ball shot at goal directly.
Courtois has played 36/38 games this season in Laliga, meaning he has missed just 2 games all season. Real Madrid have only conceded 31 goals this season or 1 more than Sevilla. So it may be true that Real Madrid have had good goalkeepers this season but they are not good enough defensively.

Next season he may still be Real Madrid's first choice in various competitions, but to be honest he will turn 31 next season. If Courtois is able to maintain his form then I believe he will be irreplaceable at Real Madrid in a few more seasons even though he is already over 30 years old.

Yes, that factor is what causes Real Madrid's defense to not work. But if we look at the overall game I think Real Madrid's defense has done well. It's just that when the goalkeeper made the save it was more highlighted because it was the last save from the players. But it's also not wrong for Real Madrid to be better able to improve.

Jose Bordalas will not be Valencia manager for next season although he have contract until 2023 but he decide to leave and about the replacement of him Valencia reported want Gennaro Gattuso as new manager and seems everything runs smoothly because Gattuso also seems interested in becoming Valencia manager and if this happend then Gattuso want new players which is most likely from Italy and the management targeted Valencia can reach to European zone under Gattuso

Name the club that can fight Real Madrid in La Liga?  Roll Eyes Even if Real have some less effective striker instead of Benzema? I think that the next season will start with the fact that the bookmakers will quote the Real championship as 1.3-1.4.
The transfer windows is not close yet, some people can not just conclude about this and think Real Madrid will lead next season. For a good club like Real Madrid, it is normal that the odd against other clubs can be low, but this also goes to Barcelona and Atletico. The beginning of the season will be tough, the odds can only get lower when the team of each clubs have been known with their potential and the extent they are winning which will be used to determine the odd to use. Clubs like Barcelona and Atletico Madrid has always be Real Madrid competitor in La Liga.
What do you expect from Atletico now? for the top 3 maybe you can but to compete again I don't think so. they would now just be an ordinary team with lots of gaps everywhere. Seeing from this season alone they have a lot of holes that need to be repaired, their back line is completely destroyed, their front line can't score well then will this be corrected in 1 season? I do not think so.

for Barcelona maybe next season will not be as bad as the start of this season but on the other hand they are still short of money which makes it difficult for them to get new players there. even if there are some new players coming in for next season it will be difficult because there is no conspicuous roster right now. Lewa maybe just wishful thinking

Thanks to Courtois, Real Madrid defense became solid because it was difficult to shoot on goal. We have seen Courtois' outstanding performance in the final match against Liverpool. Although there are many opinions that Real Madrid's defense is weak, it cannot be denied because it is more dominant that there is no strong defender to snatch the ball from the opposing striker.

Because of what happened in Champions League final with Liverpool, that does not mean the goalkeeper can do it alone, the defenders also are very important, Courtois is a good goalkeeper but the strength of the defense is not about the goalkeeper only, also the defenders have great role to play, else, that will be difficult for the goalkeeper.

Real Madrid would of course be active in the transfer market this summer. And they had better be so because I don't see their defensive line as strong enough now. Militao - Alaba is not a very good line I think. I didn't like Militao against especially Manchester City in the Champions League semi finals. I would like to see Alaba playing as a back rather than a defender also. Even if he doesn't play in a position like that, Real Madrid should be able to find a better central defender. They have signed Rüdiger so far but I would like to see one more transfer beside him.

I think it's enough for Real Madrid to have Militao and Rudiger in the main defence. Alaba and Carvajal are also very suitable to play on the left and right sides of the defense.

Have you heard that Real Madrid want to sign Aurélien Tchouaméni? Tchouaméni is currently a hot topic and he is also a target for big clubs in La Liga. do you think Real Madrid need Tchouaméni?
There have been several issues regarding this and it is reported that Real Madrid have prepared no less than 50 million Euros to bring Tchouaméni to the Bernabeu next season.
Actually, judging from the needs, maybe at this time Madrid want to go back to looking for regeneration there considering that in this case the Madrid midfielders are quite old and really need regeneration there.
As for Rudiger this is something good because at least Madrid will get stronger in defense and maybe now Alaba will return to his position as he did at Bayern.

Courtois performance in the champions league final was extraordinary, but a brilliant performance from courtois could not eliminate the fact that in fact madrid defense was very weak this season, if you see match and the number of goals that Madrid have conceded this season throughout the UCL match, surely you will realize that madrid lucky to have a sharp front line because it can cover the weakness in the defense sector, in my opinion, madrid poor defense so far has forced Courtois to work hard to make many saves like in champions league final yesterday , and of course madrid can't hope if they continue to rely on courtois good performance without wanting to improve his defense next season, but compared to the rest of us, of course ancelotti knows madrid's weaknesses and in fact he prioritizes rudiger and a few defenders to buy in the transfer market this summer.

Real Madrid should strengthen their attack. In the last few seasons, they have relied only on Benzema. There is no guarantee that Benzema will be able to maintain his extraordinary form next season. At the same time, if midfielder Luka Modrich leaves, Madrid needs a proper replacement.

When Rudiger was young, he played as a right swing back and he did it well but now he is old and is not good for that position. Alaba is no longer young too. I think Alaba and Rudiger will play in central of Real Madrid defense system. Militao will be substitution for them or he can play at right or left side.

Quote
Alaba could have been returned to his original position at left back.
I don't think Alaba will feel happy with this change because of his age. He can play in many position but his best position for now, in my opinion is central area, in defense system or midfield.

I can not say too much about Tchouameni but if he is a strong defense midfielder, it is a good deal for Real Madrid to support Casemiro now and replace Casemiro in future. Camavinga is better with attacking even he can do both but it seems Real Madrid will use him at his best with more freedom to do attacking, than support defense in midfield.

For a long-term goal, they need someone who can substitute Casemiro. Tchouameni has the same position as Casemiro, he is a defensive midfielder. We know Real Madrid has Camavinga, but his main position is a central midfielder, not a defensive midfielder. Camavinga will be the successor of Kroos, and Tchouameni will be the successor of Casemiro. Now, they only need to look for the successor for Modric, I don't think Ceballos is a suitable player for it.
Casemiro is a good defensive midfielder. He is world-class midfielder in his position and he maintains his performance in many years. With Casemiro professional and his good record against injuries, I think he will play well in 3 to 4 more years but it is good if Real Madrid can prepare for his retirement.

Camavinga is a good replacement for Casemiro but he is even better than Casemiro in attacking. So I think Camavinga will be a replacement for Toni Kroos, not Casemiro.
