We know Kylian Mbappe became a Real Madrid player officially on July 1. But for Euro 2024, he has been doing very well for his country so far and has led the team to a good position. Anyway though I have seen a few media reports that there will be a great deal for Kylian Mbappe at Real Madrid on July 16th. After the Euro final on July 15, Real Madrid has planned a grand celebration for Mbappe on July 16. 80,000 spectators will be on site wearing Real Madrid's new kit jersey to present Mbappe, and Mbappe will be walking in the number 9 jersey. It will be really interesting for a French youngster of 25 years old to have such a big event for Mbappe. Of course I'm also a Madrid fan so I'm waiting to see this event, if it's really official news I guess it will happen.


Mbape celebrations will be one of the biggest events in Bernabeu this season, the dream has come true for both the team and the player, we all can see after the announcement that Mbape has signed for Real Madrid he posts that the dream has come true, that shows that Mbape is also a Real Madrid fan since his childhood, and again showing that Ronaldo is his idol and which means he is going to make history in Real Madrid, coming to Real Madrid is every player’s dream and that is why when Real Madrid step up to sign a player no any team can challenge because the players will choose Real Madrid over any other team.

I will be very happy to see Mbape playing with, Real Madrid players, Real Madrid will be able to dominate the league every season, and it is time for Real Madrid should also win Laliga trophies back to back like the way Barcelona used to do before, Real Madrid winning trophies every season will keep the team being the most successful team in the world, next season will still be a very exciting season for all Real Madrid players and the fans.

Conte himself has confirmed that Kvaratskhelia will not leave the club this season, because his contract still runs until 2027 at Napoli. This was also confirmed by the president of Napoli that Kvaratskhelia is a great player and will stay at the club this season.


Source: Conte said about Kvaratskhelia

However, based on the latest news, Kvaratskhelia rejected Napoli's offer and has not yet continued talks. Yes, it is an option extension contract until 2029, but the player is not interested in that yet. Previously, based on rumors, PSG was interested in taking Kvaratskhelia, but that was just a rumor and certainly won't happen this season after the statement from Napoli.

And for Osimhen, he will still leave Napoli and Napoli have also made a new clause release for Osimhen. Based on the latest news, Napoli's release price for Osimhen is around €120m... and Chelsea is still a candidate club which is currently quite close to Osimhen's transfer.

Most likely what will happen is like the previous news, namely by swapping Osimhen to Chelsea and Lukaku to Napoli. And negotiations are still ongoing today. Meanwhile, Conte also agreed to negotiate with Osimhen.

I can't imagine what would happen if Napoli lost two great players, namely Kvaratskhelia and Osimhen. That would definitely be a bad situation for Napoli. but losing one of them might not be that big of a deal. But fortunately, Kvaratskhelia doesn't seem to have any intention of leaving this season and the coach and the club have also spoken about this, saying that Kvaratskhelia is still really needed and will be retained within the club.

But speculation in the transfer market about Osimhen still feels ambiguous to me. Chelsea reportedly has no intention of making a swap regarding Lukaku. And just want to focus on selling Lukaku. Meanwhile, Chelsea is also reportedly the closest to bringing in Osimhen. But on the one hand, I haven't heard any offer from this club to Osimhen. Maybe everything is still in the negotiation stage. But there is no update regarding the negotiations that may already be underway. Osimhen's closeness to Arsenal is also the same. i.e. everything looks uncertain. So it seems that it is certain that Osimhen will remain with Napoli in this pre-season. And he might not leave this season if an official offer has not come from a club interested in him. PSG are even interested in Osimhen but there is no further news about this.
That's why Napoli owner want to hold Kvaratskhelia because they don't want to lost their 2 important players in the same times because Napoli owner says it's very risky and could destabilize the team for next season but the most problem is Kvaratskhelia is very doubt to Napoli and he feel pesimistic this team can able to performing well next season although we all know the arrival of Antonio Conte makes positive vibes in this team even Conte was very confident he can makes Napoli to great again and at least to compete for top 4 position

Napoli was offering contract extension to Kvaratskhelia but just like i said above he still doubt the development of Napoli will run well under Conte and the latest rumour is Kvaratskhelia was considering to look for new clubs but there is still no certain news to which club he will move to and for Osimhen indeed some of clubs including Chelsea are interested want to bought him and this player is almost certain to leave Napoli but the most problem now is he is overpriced and indeed Chelsea is very serious want him but they didn't dare to pay according to his price tag and some people has been says if Napoli is really want to sell Osimhen then Napoli owner must be willing to lower the price

I fully agree with you that experience matters a lot in sports like football. Olympic Games show this where older players help younger ones. Real Madrid kept Luka Modric because he is valuable even if he is older. Experienced players like Modric and Cristiano Ronaldo lead and guide team when things get tough. They inspire younger players to keep going. When Ronaldo missed penalty he did not give up. He took next one with confidence showing his experience and strength. Experienced players help teams stay strong during difficult times and encourage their teammates to keep pushing forward. They are important for building strong team that can win.

Even though older players are needed because they have experience, there are also levels of weaknesses they have, such as fitness when playing the full 90 minutes. Luka Modric was not played for 90 minutes in a crucial match because Ancelotti realized that his physique was no longer the same.
Most coaches only play three older players during a game and the rest will be played by much easier players. In terms of experience and mentality, older players will be much better and they can help young players to develop.
However, if you face a team that has a defensive and attacking strategy, older players will have a little difficulty keeping up because they rely on running and physicality.
This is what Ancelotti has been doing for a long time, Luka Modric no longer has a regular place, he only plays in important matches and Ancelotti has said that Luka Modric is really needed in the team to guide the young players in the Real Madrid squad.
Real Madrid's decision to extend Luka Modric's contract is quite right in my opinion, despite his age being 38 years old, Luka Modric's quality is still quite good and it was clear that last season Luka Modric still contributed greatly to the Real Madrid team when they won the CL title and La Liga.

When i first saw this initially, I was just laughing because this is what most players do, so that their respective clubs will increase their salaries just to convince them to stay put, so in this case, I know very well that the player in self want to stay put, but he just want to wind up a transfer rumours on himself, so that the club will be trying to persuade him to stay by increasing his salary, and am quite sure that deep down, he doesn't have the intention of leaving Napoli, he is just playing mind games with the club, to get a more lucrative pay from them, just as victor osimhen did last season.

And as for victor osimhen, I think that an agreement is already in place that they wouldn't stop him from leaving the club if a better offer comes in, so I believe that him leaving Napoli is more likely than kvaratskhelia leaving Napoli this summer.

Who would have thought that Riccardo Calafiori would become a hot topic for the big European teams and now Arsenal is also hunting for him. Mikel Arteta has approved the club's plan to recruit him and maybe this transfer will go well considering Arsenal has a good relationship with Bologna. Riccardo Calafiori is priced at 50 million euros and it looks like Arsenal can still negotiate that fee down a little.

On the other hand, Chelsea are reportedly also interested in him and they are offering to add additional players to Bologna as a transfer agreement for Riccardo Calafiori. This Bologna central defender seems quite interesting because previously Liverpool and Real Madrid were also interested in him and let's see which of these teams will manage to get him.

I don't understand why when there's a hot football transfer rumor, Chelsea is always joining the race? I'm enough to see the words "Chelsea" and "transfer" at the same time.
Media sell the name of big club like chelsea to gain the traffic. Chelsea is a big club with many active fans. So, it's no surprise to see Chelsea often mentioned in hot football rumors. The loyal supporters of chelsea will keep update with the latest news about chelsea. And lastly, it's the easiest way for media to attract loyal Chelsea fans. They just have to mention the blues in a hot rumor.

I see that Riccardo Calafiori is a highly potential player, he's only 22 years old, bringing Bologna to qualify for Champions League and he's playing for Italy senior team. He deserved to play in big team, moving to Arsenal is a good idea, they always play with 4-4-2 strategy. Since he's a center back player, he has a higher chance to play without need to wait the main center back injured.
Yeah, that's good idea. Calafiori can step up by leaving Bologna and moving to the arsenal. And again, Bologna is also giving green light for non serie a team to recruit him. It's confirmed, bologna will not sell calafiori to their rival in the same league.
This is a very positive signal, and Arsenal can acquire Calafiori from Bologna.

I stand with Palestine.

Experience definitely matters in sports and football is not an exception. Take a look at the Olympic Games there is a space for older player to be included by each nation just to add experience to younger players. A team filled without experience easily run into crisis. Real Madrid were actually considering allowing Luka Modric to leave this summer but opted against it when there option to stay Toni Kroos choose to retire. Modric was already wanted by some various clubs like inter Milan which shows that the player could still have remained in Europe even if he had to leave Madrid, that’s how important he is still his.

Concerning a team experience matters a lot because during period of downs it is this experience players that the younger players look up to. The issue of Ronaldo mention is a good example, when Ronaldo missed the penalty he became emotional and that was his nature but the ability of him to get back and take the first plenty is what character showcase. In moments like that a younger player will have definitely succumbed to failure and wouldn’t be able to take the next one that will leave other players in fear. We could see when Ronaldo missed the spot kick many of the other players went upto him with talks about the team needing him to stand up to the challenge, that’s what having an experienced player in the squad means, he leads in terms of difficulty

The best way to make up for a missed penalty is to have the opportunity to take another penalty in the same game and convert it into a goal.
This happened recently when an excellent player from the Brazilian team, Lucas Paquetá, kicked the ball out on the first penalty kick, but he had the chance to take another penalty and scored the goal. As a final result, he played very well, he didn't let himself be affected by the misfortune of the first move and the whole team left the field with an excellent result.

In the same way, Cristiano Ronaldo is an excellent player, he continues to be, and he doesn't need to prove anything to anyone. Every good player has missed a penalty at some point (I think) and they don't let that bother them.

Experience helps in a team. Saying experience doesn't matter in a team makes me wonder how well you understand football. I don't mean the team have to be filled with 30+ players, the team just have to find the right balance with the experience and young players. It has to be a mix of both. When a team is too young they lack experience. There are parts of the game that require just experience. We saw how influential Modric was when he came on in the second half of the champions league last season, experience helps you do that.

Ronaldo didn't miss the penalty because he was old, either he was just unlucky or his technique was poor. It could also be that the keeper did a really good job. Ronaldo missed a penalty in his young age at United, at his peak at Real Madrid, so missing a penalty at the twilight of his career isn't a big deal. Even Messi missed a penalty in his prime.
As long as a player is still good and strong enough to play, his experience will mean a lot to them team.
At Madrid, nobody can do what Modric does, despite the fact that he's old. He's the most creative midfielder they have. He understands to the game better than all of the. He may not be strong enough to run all game and win back balls or compete for duels, but when he has the ball, he knows how to make use of it.

Madrid might do fine without him, but I believe their odds of success is better with Madrid around.

As far as I know, Napoli is trying to keep one of the players at least. But it is untrue if Conte isn't worried because Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia actually have different positions in the lineup.
..............
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Victor Oshimen are both strikers so Conte can still rely on one of them if it is true that one of them will leave, in my opinion Oshimen and Kvaratskhelia's performance is not much different and Conte can put Kvarat in Oshimen's position but yes Conte still needs players others to fill the void that will be left behind.

If experience help players, I'm not sure Ronaldo would lose that penalty that in their Knockout stage for Portugal, he weep his eyes all through he match and was pet by his team mate not to cry, this is happening because Ronaldo is old, he can't be like his prime anymore, anything his doing now is just struggle to fit into a place where he is not supposed to be for that time. I hope Modric don't disappoint the team like that too in the end.

Ronaldo case is somewhat  different from that of modric, Ronaldo was actually after perfection, to proof people wrong since they've been doing some bantering and calling him some sort of names(definitelymessi fans)... Losing a penalty doesn't have anything to do with experience, Messi have also lose penalties....no one is above mistakes and I'm sure that's not his first but in his current stage he's actually  feeling overwhelmed by the social media bully and sure the mistake did cost him alot  Smiley
Coming back to modric, I still feel he makes some great impact in big games as an experience player IMO


Real Madrid have great players in the past years and the current one. The president of the club, Florentino Pérez have done his best to ensure things work fined for the club. He made best signings for the club, Cristiano Ronaldo and Luka Modric are two different players in the same club, they've played together for years and totally contributed in every season for the club. However Ronaldo exited Santiago Bernabéu because he was tasty to pick more challenges for himself which he quite made the long ranging accomplishment.

I don't think Ronaldo should continue to play like that. He is 39 years old and is no longer in the same form as before. He should rest and let the younger generation play and show their talent. I will not hesitate to say that I saw the Portuguese team play very well in the World Cup qualifiers with Ronaldo on the bench. I know that great pressure will be on Ronaldo's shoulders. If Portugal is eliminated, all the blame will be placed on Ronaldo. So the best thing for him to do is rest, so bad people don't make fun of him on social networks.

With Luka Modric it's different. He knows how to accept the truth. He is ready to sit on the bench at the Santiago Bernabeu to be ready to contribute to his beloved team when they need it. Luka Modric is still the mainstay of the national team. Although his physical strength is not as good as before, he is still the center of the Croatian team.

Modric has no where to go again many player in his age range already retired but I think Realmadrid still needs him as an experience player so I think he's probably gonna complete his entire career in Realmadrid, he's a absolute legend.
I don't think it's about him playing with kylian Mbappe,I think they just found potential in him when it comes to big games so they would use anything to keep him from retirement.... until he's completely due for it
If Ronaldo was able to join Saudi league then Modric can also join and play for a few years hopefully that’s if any team wants his services. Staying an additional year at Madrid might actually end all hopes of other team seeking his services, he has no much years left but i still believe he can still play for as long as he want because the performance he showed at Euro before being eliminated was unbelievable for a player at his age.

Playing with Mbappe will be fun for them and but i still think he will play most of the season sitting at the bench

Fine by Time

Even after his 1 year contract currently in Madrid, we will still get to see clubs willing to have him likely the Saudi league. Modric is a great player even when he would turn 40 I believe he can still make a good game on the pitch. Can't wait to see him deliver those passes to Mbappe, it will be a lot fun to watch how Madrid will conquer clubs with ease following the combo between the long passes from Modric and an excellent finish from Mbappe. I know Modric won't be played whole 90mins, Valverde should use this time to master the work of art by Modric so he can do better in his absence.

Going to Saudi should be for retirement and not to continue his career. At age 40 it is advisable to not continue playing football. The idea, intelligence, and technical know-how will still be there but the strength to do a lot of things they could do at a young age won't be there anymore. Modric can do well in the pitch at age 40 if he has a young talented midfielder pairing with him so that he can easily give instructions and control the midfielder without getting to do much work running around. It could be that he directed a true pass or countering attack pass.

Napoli management will most likely not get a profit of up to 100 million from the Osimhen transfer saga, if the clubs interested in him see Osimhen performance last season. We remember that Oismhen failed to find his best game due to injury, which had an impact on his overall goal productivity. Indeed, this is not a benchmark, but I think Osimhen performance inconsistency could affect his market price. Meanwhile, PSG, Chelsea, Arsenal and Man United have often been rumored to want to recruit Osimhen, of these clubs, it seems that only PSG has shown serious interest.

Chelsea backout because of his wages and they would not be trying to sign Osimhen again unless a new ownership comes to the club because this current ownership do not want to spend money signing players that are not very young and they can not build the team around them. As for the price, Osimhen should not cost over $100 million anymore because he is not as good as he was last two seasons. He could not score at the concluded AFCON tournament either and had a poor tournament and he is not very active at Napoli too. He had some injuries but his presence is still not being felt as it was when Napoli won the league. PSG will be a good location for him to continue playing if he wants to remind in Europe but if he wants to leave, Saudi Arabia will be a good location because of his wages.

Ronaldo case is somewhat  different from that of modric, Ronaldo was actually after perfection, to proof people wrong since they've been doing some bantering and calling him some sort of names(definitelymessi fans)... Losing a penalty doesn't have anything to do with experience, Messi have also lose penalties....no one is above mistakes and I'm sure that's not his first but in his current stage he's actually  feeling overwhelmed by the social media bully and sure the mistake did cost him alot  Smiley
Coming back to modric, I still feel he makes some great impact in big games as an experience player IMO


Real Madrid have great players in the past years and the current one. The president of the club, Florentino Pérez have done his best to ensure things work fined for the club. He made best signings for the club, Cristiano Ronaldo and Luka Modric are two different players in the same club, they've played together for years and totally contributed in every season for the club. However Ronaldo exited Santiago Bernabéu because he was tasty to pick more challenges for himself which he quite made the long ranging accomplishment.

I don't think there is anything unique about experience in a game, he isn't the only legend Real Madrid has ever produced and they all have retired in peace, they have found something better off football that fetch them money but as for Modric, I think he wanted to stay by all means and Perez gave him a chance by signing a year contract and they maybe doing that probably they don't have the best man yet for his replacement, somebody young and talented.

If experience help players, I'm not sure Ronaldo would lose that penalty that in their Knockout stage for Portugal, he weep his eyes all through he match and was pet by his team mate not to cry, this is happening because Ronaldo is old, he can't be like his prime anymore, anything his doing now is just struggle to fit into a place where he is not supposed to be for that time. I hope Modric don't disappoint the team like that too in the end.

Penalties have nothing to do with skills or anything other than luck. There is a bit of experience, feeling, just like gambling, even big players lose money!
For Cristiano Ronaldo I find his way to apologise from Portugal fans as the trigger that made media more interested in talking about it, otherwise it is just a normal thing like Messi, Benzema and basically every player that missed a clear goal or a penalty. It happens!

I think Luka Modric is already a legend in the Real Madrid team
and looking out the sacrifices he has made and his commitment in the progress of the team, it shows a lot of respect,love and loyalty he has for Real Madrid team and I'm so happy that he has been offered yet another year contract hopefully he's going to retire in the Madrid team instead of going to Saudi Arabia to play for money as some will say.

I don't think Luka Modric cares about he's playing time any longer in the Real Madrid team all he's up to right now is to give his best to help the team win games and win more trophies so I think it an honor to see him play along side the young stars whom will emulate a lot of qualities from him, can't wait to see him play next season a long side Mbappe.


Modric is already old because 38 years is almost close to a retirement age so ending his football career in Real Madrid will be an honor for the Croatian international footballer. He has really made positive effort for Real Madrid during his stay and for the fact that the club have offered him another year is a very good one even though speculations where tipping him on joining the Saudi league, going to the Saudi league would have indeed earn him good cash but football is not really all about the money but your commitment to the team you are playing for is very important. Real Madrid already loves Modric that's why his contract was extended so it will be lovely watching Modric play with Kylian Mbappe next season. Madrid have just got so many best players and am wondering if any team can be able to win them next season.
Modric has no where to go again many player in his age range already retired but I think Realmadrid still needs him as an experience player so I think he's probably gonna complete his entire career in Realmadrid, he's a absolute legend.
I don't think it's about him playing with kylian Mbappe,I think they just found potential in him when it comes to big games so they would use anything to keep him from retirement.... until he's completely due for it
Even after his 1 year contract currently in Madrid, we will still get to see clubs willing to have him likely the Saudi league. Modric is a great player even when he would turn 40 I believe he can still make a good game on the pitch. Can't wait to see him deliver those passes to Mbappe, it will be a lot fun to watch how Madrid will conquer clubs with ease following the combo between the long passes from Modric and an excellent finish from Mbappe. I know Modric won't be played whole 90mins, Valverde should use this time to master the work of art by Modric so he can do better in his absence.
