There's a news where Marcelo decide to leaves Olympiacos which result termination on his contract, so he need to pay the penalty fee to Olympiacos. I don't understand why he did this because he's not a good player anymore, his peak performance was at 2017-2018 after then his performance start to drop and it's make Real Madrid don't want to extend his contract. I don't think there's a big club want to sign him, he might join a weaker club than Olympiacos or officially announce retired from professional career.

Actually, 34 years old is still good enough if he wants to go to a Ligue 1 team or a Bundesliga team, but not as a main player but more as a second tier player, at least he still has a one-season contract duration if he goes to one of the teams in the league above. But I really think that the left fullback position really requires a lot of stamina because you have to often help attack and defend. Is it possible that Marcelo will follow in the footsteps of his best friend in the Middle East League? I think it's a pretty good option if there is an offer from a club from that league.

Probably nothing relevant but this is a photo of Today.

At the beginning of the season, there was a lot of pressure and criticism on Massimo Allegri. If I had seen this photo at that time, I would definitely have thought of different possibilities. However, such is not the case today. Because Juventus have had good results in the league. They would have been in a much better position if they hadn't been penalized for points deduction. Perhaps, a discussion of Carlo Ancelotti can be started today. Because they are far behind Barcelona.

It feels like Chelsea are rushing things for no reason about making Felix's deal permanent now.

At least the speculations say that they are planning to sign him on a permanent deal soon. But instead I think they should wait and see how he will perform in the rest of the season first. Then they can make a decision about this transfer. I know that they are eager to solve their striker issue completely as soon as possible. But this season is already wasted for them. So they had better move on more carefully about deciding upon their attacking line. They will have the whole summer ahead as well. Maybe there will be a better opportunity than even Felix.

I even wanted this for United but couldn't work
Chelsea should not do so because nkuku, sterling, Ziyech and recently added players will nkt have enough game time to start
Felix should make the return back to spanish league he will be nice to replace Neymar once he leaves
Chelsea shouldn't rush into permanently making Felix deal just because he can play football. Infact every footballer can play football but they should give him time to check his productivity this season and how he is able to help the club in overall.
Felix might be a good footballer but not the type of England player so it is important he is observed closely in some few matches.

I don't see any strong reason for Messi to play in the Premier League, at his current age Messi is still able to show pretty good performance at PSG because PSG rivals in the league are quite weak, it's different if Messi plays in the Premier League which is having competition is quite competitive so it feels like Messi will fail if he tries a new adventure in the Premiere League at his current age, I personally think if maybe Messi will end his career in France or maybe in the Arab or American leagues.
Agree. No reason for Messi to move to EPL, it will be a disaster for Messi's career. EPL is a very competitive league, it is a difficult place for old players. Messi should follow Ronaldo's decision to move to a lower league, he can move to MLS or Argentine Primera División. Messi also can consider playing in Saudi Pro League like Ronaldo. Messi must be wise to decide on his next club if he still wants to play.  Wink


There's no denying that the English League is a very competitive league, it's not even rare that the English League takes its toll, I mean there are a lot of very good players in other leagues, but when it comes to the Premier League they are players who fail even though they are still at a very young age. very ripe. I don't mean to belittle Messi, because we know that he is one of the best players in world football, but at his age I agree that he has to consider it when he wants to compete in the English League, because in my opinion it is a challenge with the age he is have it feels too late.

Me too, i expect messi won't go back to the barcelona. I consider how big salary of messi. I doubt if anyother teams are also willing to sign him. Messi has a very big salary and that makes the club think for twice before try to sign him. His team mate neymar already linked with EPL club which can be considered as rich club. Messi has not yet found a club that meets his criteria. I mean the new club must be in a good financial condition.
The possibility for other clubs is clearly still there, it's just that it's like you said, there needs to be a club that has good finances and of course enters into the qualifications of Messi himself because this is indeed important.
Here also does not rule out the possibility that there will be other Arab clubs who will start looking at the same as Ronaldo, of course, with offers and salaries that really don't make sense later. Even though many people say Messi does not only see money, but all possibilities can still happen.
All possibilities can still happen, no one can predict what will happen and which club will become Messi port after leaving PSG. Messi charm is still very strong, especially after successfully bringing Argentina to win the world cup, there are still many clubs who want to try to bring in Messi, including Barcelona. However, Jorge Messi as Messi father and agent has said it is unlikely that the star will play for Barcelona again.
Messi salary is a consideration for several clubs who want to bring him in, other Arab clubs may make a surprise by offering a bigger salary than that offered by Al Nassr for Ronaldo.

The new of Marcelo's departure from Olympiacos does surprise me. It's perplexing to consider the various factors that may have influenced his decision, such as the weighty penalty fee he'll have to pay. Nevertheless, who am I to make assumptions about his motives? Perhaps he's seeking novel opportunities or diverging from his established path in the soccer industry. The indication of interest from other clubs could also indicate his potential for further success. Alternatively, maybe he's simply ready to retire and bask in the pleasures of life beyond football. The possibilities are endless, and I wish him the best in his future endeavors. Good fortune, Marcelo!

I wonder how Neymar can be persuaded to drop his contract with PSG (which is valid until 2027) and switch to a lower salary in a more difficult league? I think it's unrealistic.
that makes sense but since neymar was not happy anymore in PSG and it may possible as long as neymar can still get a good salary in the new club. He is now in conflict with mbappe.

We have already seen that PSG were unhappy with Neymar, but this did not bother him much and he allowed his contract to be extended automatically from 2025 to 2027. I think Neymar is arrogant enough to even sit on the bench and still get his huge salary.
You're right about Neymar was arrogant as a player. It's not that PSG was unhappy with neymar but neymar itself who has been deciding to leave from the club. Since neymar's intention to leave from the club already appeared and many of his scandals got revealed to the public too.

There's a news where Marcelo decide to leaves Olympiacos which result termination on his contract, so he need to pay the penalty fee to Olympiacos. I don't understand why he did this because he's not a good player anymore, his peak performance was at 2017-2018 after then his performance start to drop and it's make Real Madrid don't want to extend his contract.

I have heard that if marcelona was interesting to join with the new club that already contacted his agent. It's not olympiacos who terminated the contract but it's him. That means marcelona is much more interesting with new club that already contacted him rather than stay even longer in olympiacos. Let's see what name of club that already contacted marcelona's agent caused by it has not been revealed yet.

Declan Rice has been an another player at the centre of transfer targets for big teams for a long time.

Manchester United wanted them back in the day and got very close to finishing the deal. But it failed due to West Ham's greediness which made Rice very frustrated. Later on Chelsea started to have a significant deal of interest in him but still haven't made an official offer. And now I see Manchester City starting to be thinking about a deal to sign him. If they really enter the race to sign him then Chelsea might be in trouble. Yeah maybe Chelsea are also very rich now thanks to Boehly. But Manchester City seem a much more reliable team obviously so I think Rice could prioritize them in that case.
Declan Rice been linked with speculations of a potential move away from Westham United has raised the lids of premier teams seeking his signature. Honestly I expected Declan Rice to be listed as a top priority target for Chelsea in place of Enzo Fernandez because for one reason, he has wide experience of the league but Chelsea opted for Enzo instead. Arsenal and Manchester United can now try to sign him up in the summer.

The chance for neymar to join with chelsea becomes even bigger now since todd faces neymar's agent directly. It's now not just a rumor but let's see what deals that will be meet by both of parties. Im sure that neymar was planning to get a new club.

The French press was betting that the Brazilian Neymar would go to a "second tier" team, but I believe that most here are surprised to learn that Chelsea are willing to pay very well to have this player in their squad. Not bad for the most expensive player in football history to date. But is Neymar still worth so much?
I consider his age is too old. There may be a several years remaining for him to continue his career in the professional football. It must be less than €50m. The problem is his salary is high when neymar was playing on PSG. I don't even think todd will be trying to give the same salary for him(neymar)

Speaking of numbers... Chelsea will pay (at least they are willing to do so, nothing is certain yet) 60 million euros for Neymar who is now 31 years old ("old" player). It's still 4 times less than the €222m PSG paid in 2017, but it looks like the Parisian club is quite happy with that amount.
Arsenal were paying "only" €50m, so they ended up having their offer waived.
It's better rather than neymar going out from the club with free transfer even though his contract will expire 2025. A bit surprised to hear that manchester city is willing to offer neymar too.

Either team sounds very good for Ney, however I think he would be a better fit for Chelsea because Chelsea lacks an explosive striker who can bring the team a better outlook, they are very good at defending in midfield but the forward does not bear fruit, they are very thirsty for goals and what Chelsea needs is to score goals, they don't need anything else, if they score goals they win games and the way Ney plays is enough to make him the star of the team because he would have the leading role absolute would take everything, free kicks, penalties, all without any kind of competition with another player on the team.

All of transfer that already made by chelsea were failed. None of new players from chelsea gave good contribution to the clubs. Mudryk and enzo were over rated players for sure with non sense price. How stupid todd agreed to buy these players with very high price like that.

10 loses and 1 win. This is terrible result that already achieved by chelsea with new players. So many fans from another club were mocking these players as they didn't look like players with high valuation.

There are so many miscommunications, inaccurate pass and many things that were so bad coming from the new players of chelsea. Why don't even chelsea use money wisely? Todd looks stupid enough as a new owner.

Messi moving to Premier League is not sure happening
Messi would consider retuning to Argentina division than the premier league
Yes it is true that he has a good relationship with Pep Guardiola, Messi should consider leaving PSG
I don't see any strong reason for Messi to play in the Premier League, at his current age Messi is still able to show pretty good performance at PSG because PSG rivals in the league are quite weak, it's different if Messi plays in the Premier League which is having competition is quite competitive so it feels like Messi will fail if he tries a new adventure in the Premiere League at his current age, I personally think if maybe Messi will end his career in France or maybe in the Arab or American leagues.

I definitely agree, and I guess that his transfer to PSG was due to similar considerations. Therefore, his next transfer will probably have good planning. In fact, we know that almost all South American football players spend their last years in their home country teams, but Messi may return to his country after playing from the Arabian Peninsula for a few years because he has the physical strength to do this.

The problem may be in terms of age. Even though his current performance is still able to be there, it's still a little uncomfortable when what happened to Ronaldo at Manchester United happened again to this goat.
I think as he gets older with competitive league conditions, it doesn't rule out the possibility of something like this happening to him too if he steps foot in the EPL.

Not too surprising, as it's been their trademark this season of always rushing things but Todd doesn't seem to want to admit that.
I think if they still want some players in the same position later then making Felix permanent is too hasty because it will only add to their expenses without any real results this season.

Todd Boehly is an American and Americans love star players, it think the only reason Todd Boehly wants Neymar is because of the influence he'll be bringing to the club in regards to ticket and jersey sales. Tood Boehly has always wanted a star player on the club right from his very moment or takeover. We saw him trying to sign Ronaldo but Thomas Tuchel spoiled that deal. Chelsea signing Neymar doesn't mean Mudryk won't have playing time instead both stars will compliment each other on the wing and when one isn't playing well the other can step in.

I'm not against signing Neymar but in support of the new management. Firstly because if Neymar was to come to Chelsea, I don't think Graham Potter could manage him. We all know Neymar is a star player and not all managers especially the young and inexperienced ones can manage teams with stars on them. The image of Neymar at Chelsea will be beneficiary both on and off the field so I don't see this as a bad deal provided we won't be breaking any financially fair play rules.
If that was the case (which I disagree with) then why would he spend 500+ million and get nearly no superstars, I mean sure they are good players but none of the players have that kind of name. If he bought no other player, and just Mbappe, he could have paid 200+ million to PSG easily, and 200+ million to Mbappe with future payments as well, and it would have been maybe even cheaper, or at least cost the same.

Chelsea at the start of the season with just Mbappe addition could have been at least this good, if not even better. I understand that people are unhappy with the current situation and they are looking to add even more, but that doesn't mean that they should, it just doesn't make sense.

It doesn't take much, if the dressing room is very toxic, he can leave.

Also, such star players despite being "arrogant" do have very big egos to quench. Being benched for many matches would definitely not go well with Neymar. I think you remember when there was some chaos over who should be the main penalty taker in PSG. This was all happening with the big salaries in their contracts  Grin
