Barcelona will make more signings this summer because they've new coach who's not satisfied with the current squad but making his own personal decisions and bringing in new players to fit in and enchanced his strategy. Mentioning Barcelona players, they've executed good plans for the club. İlkay Gündoğan players a major role in Barcelona last season, he's been very contributing towards accomplishing goals for the club. Despite delivering more efforts for his country, I've known him to be a player that dedicates every moment of his career with full determination and not some relenting actions.

But we have to know that every player who has succeeded in growing great has an important role in the other players who can provide good passes to Mbappe so that he can execute well and ultimately score a lot of goals. It all also depends on Mbappe's attitude at PSG. As long as Mbappe can still behave well towards his friends on the field then it is certain that Mbappe will be helped by them to become the best. I really hope that what Mbappe did at Real Madrid was the same when he was at PSG so that his performance on the field will remain good.

It seems Barcelona should be worried about one of their players. İlkay Gündoğan is a key player of Barcelona who joined this team in the last season and had an epic performance there but İlkay Gündoğan played in many games for Germany and this pressure can damage this player.
So far İlkay Gündoğan played in 65 games during this season and this can make this player tired and damaged. If Germany reaches the final match he will play in 68 games.

 

I mean it is going to be easier at Real Madrid too though. Sure, Ancelotti would have been great anywhere he is, but if Ancelotti was at PSG and Mbappe was still there, probably even Ancelotti would have hard time keeping him there because Mbappe dreamed of playing at Real Madrid. So now that he is there, it's both his dream club and a great manager so it should be quite easy for him to be respecting everyone there and Ancelotti has an easier time there in the end.

I just feel like we are going to end up with some situation that won't be all that complicated at all. We should probably see how that works on the long run, because eventually Ancelotti will leave, and when that happens we have no idea what's going to happen at all.

This is just a discourse from Mou who expects this player to join Fenerbahce next season but indeed seeing from the situation that occurred in Barcelona which is very difficult to bring in players I think it is still quite difficult for Barcelona to let a player as important as Gundogan just leave because after all we can see that for now Barcelona still needs players not selling players.

Flick must know the importance of Gundogan's role at Barcelona and he would not be careless to let Gundogan leave just like that. Even though his contract will expire in 2025 and he is now 33 years old, I think instead of giving space to other clubs to bring in Gundogan it would be great if in the end Barcelona gave a new short-term contract to this player because indeed as you said after Busquets' departure to MLS last season, Gundogan has always been a good successor to replace his role in Barcelona's midfield and currently there is still no player who can replace that role so Gundogan I think will be retained.

Theoretically, Real Madrid has always been one of the strong contenders in the Champions League. last season without Mbappe, Madrid could win the most prestigious event title, and now Real Madrid has Mbappe, a striker who has the instinct to score goals in almost every match. with Mbappe's presence at Real Madrid, this elite team from Spain will pose a serious threat to its opponents. likewise in La Liga, it could be said that Madrid is a dangerous team that has a sharp front line. an established line of midfield players, as well as more ideal defensive line players by bringing in several newcomers in this transfer window. Based on Madrid's current strength, it will be a big challenge for any opposing team to overthrow Real Madrid. both in the Champions League and in La Liga.

The question is, does Madrid have a chance to defend the title they won last season. yes, they have a pretty high probability of that. after all, Madrid is a team that has a winning mentality, as well as having a very competitive team squad. whether it succeeds or not is another matter. what is certain is that neither Madrid nor Mbappe intend to let the title that Madrid won last season slip away. especially with Mbappe, he really wants the UCL trophy. therefore, he headed to Real Madrid as a place to achieve his dreams and what he aspired to. to make it happen, Mbappe knows that he has to do his job very well. after all, the Real Madrid squad has many star names. so, Mbappe can't help but follow every rule that applies at Real Madrid. yeah, unlike when he was at PSG, he was the player who shone the most.
by the way, you are right. defending the titles that Madrid has won in various competitions is not easy, although it could be said that Real Madrid has a more competitive squad. but what is certain is that Real Madrid is not just about Mbappe alone, because there are many potential players who could be Mbappe's partners. they will work together to realize the mission and expected targets. Regarding Mbappe's progress, we'll see how much he contributes to Real Madrid.

Although Barcelona's condition is not good enough this season, it cannot be denied that the performance of Gundogan as a match organizer is really good because indeed after the loss of Busquets, it is very tactical for Barcelona in midfield to depend on Gundogan as an organizer and stabilizer of their midfield.
Although he is not too young but with the experience he has he has been very capable of making some differences in Barcelona's midfield.

It would be great if for the next 1 or 2 seasons he remains in the Barcelona midfield, especially with Barcelona's current condition which is still very difficult to find players, so at least he should not be allowed to leave.

It would be very wrong if in the end Gundogan was just let go because after all he will still contribute very well in my opinion this season especially Barcelona does not have a good playmaker who can organize attacks while defending because for some players like Pedri or De Jong they are tye attackers.

I imagine what would happen if Mbappe's presence at Real Madrid means they lose the opportunity to defend the La Liga and Champions League titles and of course people will say Mbappe is one of the unlucky players for Real Madrid. Although that is impossible because the La Liga title seems much easier to defend because Real Madrid's strength is so strong now.

To occupy the highest level in European competition is not easy because there is a lot of competition that will occur in it. I also doubt that Mbappe can achieve the careers of Ronaldo and Messi because these two players were sensational in their era and matching their records is not easy for Mbappe to achieve.

Barcelona and the unpleasant financial situation, today I read news that talks about João Félix and João Cancelo, Barcelona has not yet been able to resolve the situation of these two players either in terms of a new loan or buying them outright, it seems that Barcelona are it became a club without major goals and poor financial management. because it doesn't make sense that a club like Barcelona took these two good players on loan and throughout the season didn't create an effective plan to keep the 2 players permanently if they had really shown good results

Barcelona's management is disorganized, and it is a management that has no plans for the future and acts on impulse, just look at the case of Xavi. We'll see how this João Félix and João Cancelo situation ends. Manchester City is a good team but João Cancelo, who is a good player, will not have space to play constantly in the starting 11 and Manchester City already has many good players and they will benefit if they loan or sell João Cancelo, on the other side we have Atletico Madrid is a terrible team, which does not have great goals and could use João Félix, but Atletico Madrid's coach is problematic and will hardly leave Atletico, so Atletico would be happier to sell João Félix and Barcelona became  bankrupt team to the point of not even being able to buy these two players

This is Mbappe's first season in a different competition after 7 years in Ligue 1 with Paris Saint Germain. He needs time to adapt and I just hope he can adapt in a short time like Jude Bellingham did in his first season with Real Madrid. He should be able to do that because he is skilled as a football player, so it will really help him in the adaptation process.
There is no doubt that this player has excellent abilities and now has the status of a very talented young star player. It is hoped that his move to Real Madrid will enable him to develop himself better and also allow him to change his ego, which in my opinion is still a problem for this young player. He often showed this when he was with Paris SaintGermain. I hope that at Real Madrid he can learn a lot to reduce and even eliminate his ego, because it could be a problem for himself.
Expectations for himself are very high, and if he is not good at controlling it then it will be dangerous.

Basically, Mbappe has been very great player, because Mbappe has been able to have a big impact on the good results and performance of PSG and also the French national team sofar. So, if you feel that Mbappe is not goodenough, then I don't agree because after all,if PSG is able to get the Champions League trophy then of course, Mbappe will really be the greatest player and worthy of getting the Ballon d'Or. But unfortunately, because Mbappe is in a team where it is difficult to get good results in the Champions League, then Mbappe great performance seems to be lacking even though in reality Mbappe performance is already verygreat and above the average of other players. Thus, playing at Real Madrid is the right way for Mbappe to show his quality,  because it will be easier for him to achieve the highest achievements in his career.

Mbappe has now become one of the hopes for Madrid to continue to be able to dominate La Liga, although indeed without Mbappe Madrid is still a strong and difficult club to beat but at least with the arrival of Mbappe will of course make their squad more perfect next season, Mbappe may not be able to match Ronaldo in Madrid before but if he is able to maintain and be consistent in his playing performance, of course gradually he will become an icon new to Madrid, so far we can see how he was able to help PSG win Ligue 1 and also bring PSG to compete in the Champions League so far, so it is appropriate for Mbappe to continue to prove himself as a great player despite playing at different clubs and leagues today.

If we talk about the era of Ronaldo and Messi, of course it will never end, even though the two players are now playing on different continents but still many continue to compare who is the best between the two, Mbappe competition will certainly not be difficult, because so far we have not seen a rival who is ready to compete to be the best player in La Liga.

In other words, Mbappe brings the hopes of many people because in Madrid his name is now the most prominent. A new icon and also added as a future star, Mbappe is required to be able to fulfill everything. However, everything requires a process, it is not easy to occupy the highest level of European competition as a star player with brilliant achievements. In my opinion, competition in the current era is not as fierce as the era of Messi and Ronaldo.

Barcelona can do nothing until it completes the deal with Nike, which is its only hope of obtaining further funds to repair things.


Until Barcelona and Nike complete the contract, Barcelona can only sell its players to raise additional funds to lift their ban and register the new player. Nike's money can also help Barcelona rebuild its team. But I'm still dissatisfied with Laporta's refusal to sell some players who could help Barcelona financially.

La Liga's ban still prevents them from doing so. This is why Barcelona requires significant funding.

Not only that, what can also be questioned is whether Mbappe can survive or maintain his performance like Messi and Ronaldo who can maintain their appearance for a very long time, and we have even known these two players have competed for a decade or more. If you say players who have good skills, then there are many players like that, but if you look at how long they can maintain their performance, I don't think they last that long.

I don't doubt that Mbappe is one of the best players at the moment, but he still has a long way to go and that could create two possibilities for him, he could be consistent and decline or even his name will no longer be heard.

His future is still quite long because he is still young for that. He must be able to maintain his current appearance and that requires commitment to maintaining consistency of appearance. At Real Madrid he will learn a lot about how competition is created and in the midst of that he must be able to maintain his performance.

Mbappe has yet to make his debut with Real Madrid, but big expressions are starting to come with his above average quality compared to players of his age. Mbappe joining the Real Madrid squad is predicted to increase his quality, he also won't need long to adapt there because he is an experienced player and has above average talent.
Mbappe will easily integrate into Real Madrid game because of his position as a striker, he has a very high goal-scoring instinct, his very strong physique and fast running will make him the new top scorer in La Liga. Joining Real Madrid is the start of a new history in his career, there he has the opportunity to win the UCL trophy and make it easier to win individual titles such as top scorer and Ballon D'or.

Definitely, Mbappe is talented. But the next Messi or Ronaldo? Slow down. Look, Ligue 1 is easy. Nobody comes close to PSG. No actual competition - its like playing in your garden with friends. GOAT status cant be discussed until he faces La Liga or Premier League giants.

Its not just goals, folks. Messi, Ronaldo, those guys are leaders. They're the soul and inspiration of their teams. Mbappe? His large head and toxic attitude are problematic. Ancelotti, he's a good coach, and I bet that he can easily manage egos. Mbappe has talent, but he must perform when it counts. He's just another hyped youngster unless he proves he can manage pressure and put the team first.

Rather than Gundogan continuing his career in the Turkish league, I think it would be better for him to remain at a big team like Barcelona. However, La Liga is still one of the most attractive in Europe and because of that it must remain despite interest from other teams. At Barcelona it might be difficult for him to get what he wants but at least he will still be able to maintain his quality even at this club in times of difficulty.

Under the direction of coach Hansi Flick, who also comes from Germany, Gundogan will definitely still be the main choice for midfield matters and perhaps it could be said that he is old but his performance is still better than De Jong. Barcelona won't just let him go and it feels like getting a gold nugget from Manchester City for free and it will be maximized well.

I doubt that Flick will want to let Gundogan go anywhere, he does not have the opportunity for new transfers, so retaining the core players is extremely important for him, and Gundogan is of course one of the leaders of the team. And as for Gundogan, I think he understands the difference between La Liga and the Turkish League, why should he agree to such an offer. By the way, I searched and couldn’t find any mention of this news anywhere. Unless we are talking about the offer from Galatasaray, which was made back in early June, then Gundogan refused this transfer.

Real Madrid will start their starting XI this season with several new players, while some of the players who were in the starting XI before will be dropped. 

Joselu has not been a regular player for Real Madrid before and there are rumors of him leaving the club, with Real Madrid again offering him to stay for one more season. Joselur himself knows that if he stays at Real Madrid for one more season, he will have to sit on the bench for most of the season and may be brought on for a short time in a few matches. Even if he renews his contract, he will have to sit on the bench as before.   

Now the decision is entirely in his hands. If the star feels that he should go to another club and play in the regular eleven, then his contract with Real Madrid cannot be renewed this season. But he can extend his contract with Real Madrid if he feels it is honorable for him to sit on the bench of the big team.
