Chelsea are trying their best to complete their defender transfer as soon as possible. It seems like de Ligt is most likely to join Bayern Munich now. His asking price seems to be very high like around 90 million euros. Bayern Munich seem ready to meet this amount. I don't think that he would choose Chelsea over Bayern Munich even if Chelsea offer the same amount. Therefore Chelsea might focus on transferring Nathan Ake from Manchester City more after this happens. They are already in talks with them for him.

After Arsenal's interest started for N'Golo Kante, I see that Manchester United have also decided to intervene. Kante is one of the best midfielders of the Premier League now. Aging doesn't change much for him for now. Chelsea wouldn't like to lose a player like him because this would cause them to be weakened in defense more. By the way I understand Manchester United's interest too as they are already after Frenkie de Jong too. They must be aiming to sign one of these players for sure.
Why do Arsenal and Man United try to sign Kante? They must know he is a key player for Chelsea, it is almost impossible to sign him. As far as I know, Chelsea has no other defensive midfielder that has the same capability as Kante. Even if they have Jorginho, Jorginho still can't play at the same level as Kante. I am really sure that Chelsea won't lose another key player after they lost Rudiger. Chelsea must be aware that they must keep the quality and the quantity of their squad if they still want to compete for the title in the next season.


Both teams are trying to build and strengthen their squad and will be willing to get any available player. for N'Golo Kante fits right in as a very qualified player and a player who will guarantee the team a certain level of safety in the midfield and defense.  I don't think Chelsea will allow their star player go as they also need him and see Kante as a very important player in the club and would need his services for the coming season.

Personally, I think it could have been really intriguing to see if Chelsea came forward and had an agreement with Cristiano Ronaldo. It was going to be really great to see Cristiano Ronaldo for Chelsea as well. But I don't believe that is going to happen.
I think so, although there were rumors that Chelsea were at the forefront of wanting to get Cr7, but the issue did not become strong evidence because there were no rumors that said Chelsea had made an offer for Manchester United. So there were no further talks after the chelsea owner met with ronaldo's agent and the meeting didn't seem very meaningful if chelsea really wanted to get ronaldo.

Btw previously, Manchester United performance under Erik Ten Hag was really impressive, they can control almost all sides and can turn off quickly every time there is an attempted attack from Liverpool. in this friendly match Manchester United can win 4-0 even without the presence of Ronaldo.

It looks like Chelsea are after Ronaldo and Lewandowski both now but they must be intending to sign one of them now. Honestly my choice would absolutely be Lewandowski if I can buy him. But it seems like a more difficult deal as Barcelona and PSG also seem to be in this race for him. When it comes to Ronaldo his current wage is pretty huge and I would hesitate to buy him at this point. He had a good season the last time in the Premier League but there is a risk that he might not adapt to Chelsea too.
I don't think, Chelsea is still after cristiano Ronaldo because Manchester united coach has spoken yesterday that cristiano Ronaldo will remain with them till next season before they can release him to any team that is ready to afford the money. I believe, Chelsea will like to sign in Lewandowski because many teams what to have Lewandowski in their team in this season so that they will have full confidence of winning next season title to make their fans happy again. I guess, Chelsea president will do everything possible to bring in Lewandowski in this season, because he is among the talented strikers that know how to change game for their favour in any competitions.
Lewandowski is no longer a talented player but a senior player, a talented player is a young player. Also, Barcelona are not in the race to sign Lewandowski, but it is Lewandowski himself who wants to play for Barcelona. If the race to sign Lewandowski was purely meaning that there was no strong desire from the player himself but rather an offer from the large bids made from interested teams, then of course Barcelona would lose early because their finances were in disarray.

I don't think that Robert Lewandowski is going to be a better option for Chelsea when they have Cristiano Ronaldo available as well. But the problem is neither of these players will probably end up moving. 

Cristiano Ronaldo is obviously not planning to move from United because we would have heard a lot more things. And the amount of money that Bayern Munich is asking for Robert Lewandowski is just pure stupidity. I do think that both are really viable options. Chelsea should do whatever is most likely to work with their game plan.

Today Macnhester United took a resounding victory over Liverpool. Of course it doesn't mean anything because it's not a game for the competition, but you can bet that they are happy with this result in Manchester and that Liverpool are definitely not happy that they lost 4-0. These are practice matches, but this does indicate that there is another team at United and for Ten Hag this is also a good preparation for the EPL. I have high expectations of Ten Hag.

I'm still confused about Ronaldo's clarity where he will go is still a question mark, there is so much speculation going around I don't know which is true but there is still confusion because there has been no official decision on that statement.
Apart from these rumors, there are indeed those who believe he will leave and Chelsea as a club that is predicted to be at the forefront for Ronaldo, do not deny this we will know after the transfer window closes or before that decision will be seen.
Whether this is a delay or indeed Ronaldo strategy not to rush in determining the direction where he will land. Because so far the transfer window is still open and closing also has a long enough time span for Ronaldo to give his official decision. Of course, on the other hand, this is considered without clarity, but this could be a strategy to shock people who are already busy spreading speculation. In the end, we can be surprised by the inauguration of Ronaldo.

Good response from Manchester United, United fans are very very happy with the results from first half. Tour games prepare clubs ahead of the new season. Liverpool didn't get a chance to add a single score to the game. But Manchester United should take it more seriously the season will start in the next three weeks.
Will Eric Ten Hag be the one to take Manchester United back to old ways ? Premier League will be very interesting.

A tense match from a total of 18 Liverpool shots, none of which was able to break into De Gea's goal. Although this was only a friendly match, initially fans expect that Liverpool make a change to be sure they will lead the top of the premier league standings next season
Good results from the Ten Hag team, even though playing without Ronaldo can still bring home the win

man this was a result that shocked me, I know that in a friendly game teams don't try very hard to win games, they are more focused on getting data from the experiments they are doing with each player that the coaches put. but in this case it seemed to me that the manchester united manager had already done his homework well, he came up with a clear idea of ​​the starting 11 players who would play, the positions they would play and how each player would behave. It's like he's known those players for years and that's why he wouldn't need a lot of testing and changing. he is to be congratulated, he has not conceded goals and for the first time the defense of manchester united was not a disaster and the most important part is that they won with many goals without needing cristiano ronaldo, maybe with that cristiano ronaldo can come back with the his idea of ​​moving because he thinks the team is too weak and won't get anywhere. About liverpool as a fan, well I know that in the premier league things will be different

The situation with Christiano Ronaldo wanting to leave are rumours, there is no official release from Ronaldo or his team about his next move. What Ronaldo wants from the club is for the club to bring in talented players this transfer window to strengthen the squad. He wants to compete at top level and win trophies, he made this clear from the start. Erik Ten Hag made a statement to say he had a conversation with Ronaldo and he never said he was leaving so that should be enough to put an end to the speculations.
Yes, these are all rumors circulating on social media. However, the rumors were getting stronger when Fabrizio Romano tweeted about Ronaldo wanting to leave in the transfer market this summer, especially when there was news about the meeting of the Chelsea owner with agent ronaldo so that this news was getting hot on social media.
from Fabrizio Romano recent tweet today where Erik has spoken to Ronaldo so far and Ronaldo has never said he wants to leave this summer. So it has been proven that Ronaldo will stay for next season with Manchester United and cancel his intention to play in the Champions League next season with other clubs.

Personally, I think it could have been really intriguing to see if Chelsea came forward and had an agreement with Cristiano Ronaldo. It was going to be really great to see Cristiano Ronaldo for Chelsea as well. But I don't believe that is going to happen.

Despite my desire for Cristiano Ronaldo to leave Manchester United, I am also confident that he will not move and play for Manchester United next season. It will be sad to see that Cristiano Ronaldo is not able to play in the Champions League. However, if Cristiano Ronaldo does make a move he will have to take some more time to get settled in his new club.

Will Eric Ten Hag be the one to take Manchester United back to old ways ? Premier League will be very interesting.
Eric Ten Hag still has a task ahead of him, this is just pre season and the club supporters should not get too excited or jump into conclusions that they are already a better team than they were last season. The win was however important to instill confidence in all those who are loosing confidence in the team, and also give the supporters something to look forward to. Manchester united has always played better without Ronaldo, his arrival made most of the other players withdraw into their shell and loose confidence in themselves and this affected the team, this game is also a pointer to show that they don't really need ronaldo to stay at the club, they can do better without him.

Honestly Liverpool didn't pushed much and Liverpool lineup at defense was quite loose and made too many errors and United got the upper hand there. Despite that United's attack was good but still lot of work need to be done before them to be considered as serious contender for title race. I think they can work without Ronaldo but having Ronaldo will really benefit them. He can perform when team needs him but that also comes with a cost where players like Rashford and Martial loses regular playing time.

They are really trying to build a team with which they will be able to at least stay in the Premier League again and probably even finish as a mid-table team.
I think it is quite possible. With the amount of money they spent in this transfer market, Nottingham Forest will have high expectations this season.
I am also interested to see how they will perform in the Premier League after quite some time.
They will try, but I doubt the team's ability to stay in the Premier League. To be honest there isn't much hope for such a team as their chances of surviving are very small compared to other teams in the league. But of course I would be very curious as to what they can do this season after being promoted to the Premier League.

Somehow I have to say that you shouldn't bet more on a team like this because chances are you won't win much. So I wouldn't consider them if I wanted to bet on the match later.

There’s no truth in N’golo Kante's move to Arsenal. I know that Arsenal still see midfield as an area to improve on but Kante isn’t an option. Although his contract expires next season but I don’t see him joining Arsenal. Arteta is seeking a younger defensive-minded midfielder that will serve as cover for Thomas Partey next season. Kante is 31, he had spells on the bench amid a knee problem last season. That’s not the player that a club that’s building would want to sign. Besides there’s Thomas Partey, a proper defensive midfielder, so I don’t see the need for Kante. Also he is the second paid player in Chelsea after Lukaku, Arsenal would not offer him what Chelsea pays currently.
Somewhat you're correct if Arteta isn't favor to sign a middle age or old player since their past players in was full of young players. But actually a middle age or old player aren't that bad since it's depends on the player how serious he's to maintain his stamina and body to compute with younger player. Take a look how Ronaldo who already 37 years old still become the best striker/winger at this year, his name doesn't appeared too much because he's lose. But if you see the statistic and the contribution, you will see Ronaldo was already giving 30% performance from the whole statistic.
I know that Age doesn’t really matter for every player. But it does for specify positions on the pitch. Goalkeepers, central defenders and strikers can play till when they’re 35 or 36 and still give more than an average performance but specific positions like the defensive midfield need an active player that’s free from injury and Kante had an injury stricken season. And besides the point, there’s no way he can play ahead of Thomas Partey in that role. So I don’t see the need to sign him. Since Arsenal is recruiting and building a young squad, any new signing would still be a younger player. That’s the project and it is what it is.

wolverhampton wanderers have signed defender Nathan Collins from relegated fc burnley on a five-year deal. the €24 million fee makes him the fourth most expensive new signing in the club's history.

Wow that's an interesting fact but well then again I haven't seen much of any notable signings from Wolves but another interesting thing to note is that despite that they still are one of the scariest underdogs in PL. With Trincao loan expired, I think they need a signing at that position so possible we might see another addition to the Wolves squad.

Good response from Manchester United, United fans are very very happy with the results from first half.

Oh come on, Im a fans and Im not happy with the pre season result. It will has nothing to do with the upcoming season and yeah its just much better than losing I guess but Im not going to be biased at all and say anything about this because the real test would be on the premier league. Honestly not hoping that Ten Hag and the team will win but getting top 2 would be nice

Chelsea seem that they aren't going to be able to sign Raphinha as Barcelona have got close to signing him a lot. Chelsea might start chasing the Serge Gnabry transfer after this incident. Gnabry has one year left on his contract and Bayern Munich might be likely to let him go too. He can cost Chelsea an amount like Leeds wanted for Raphinha too. I think that Gnabry would also be a great choice of transfer for Chelsea. His performance for Bayern Munich has been really amazing.

I think it is quite possible. With the amount of money they spent in this transfer market, Nottingham Forest will have high expectations this season.
I am also interested to see how they will perform in the Premier League after quite some time.
I saw Nottingham were really greeted with great enthusiasm by their supporters when they made it back to the Premier League this season because they have waited almost 23 years to experience the Premier League atmosphere again. Nottingham will take this opportunity to surprise every game next season so Nottingham will continue to be active in the market this summer where they have managed to sign 6 players so far and only Taiwo Awoniyi has been signed with a price tag that is quite expensive compared to 5 other players. even the signing of Taiwo Awoniyi from Union Berlin broke the record for the most expensive purchase Nottingham Forest has ever made in their history.

With the kind of performance I saw today from Manchester United preseason match against Liverpool it is very clear Manchester United will be so different from what we had last season,  the performance was so outstanding,  it shows that Erik Ten Hag is doing a great work indeed. It will be so good if Manchester can keep it on with a good play like this .
I pray this doesn't end in high hopes. United performance was impressive. The pre-season performance has added a badge on Ten Hag making his fans trust him with what ever technique he might chose to adopt for next season. Liverpool created lots of chances but it seems united defense improved i am overwhelmed this an indication next season will come with new surprises
