Gallagher is a graduate of Chelsea's own academy and as such, it would seem to make sense that Chelsea would keep him. But anyway, the fact is that Gallagher's contract will also expire in 2025 and thus, if this season Chelsea does not extend Gallagher's contract then maybe Gallagher will also be able to leave for free in 2025 later. But perhaps, about the absence of an agreement between Chelsea and Atletico, it seems that Atletico also still has to consider whether to bring Gallagher or maybe also choose Kante.

Because after all, the current rumors are that Atletico are also negotiating to bring in Kante. But at least, if I consider about age, then of course it would be better to bring in Gallagher, because Gallagher's age is also young compared to Kante who is approaching retirement age. At least, there is still time for them to reach an agreement, and anything can still happen for Atletico's success to bring in Gallagher or Kante or maybe not at all.

There has been no agreement on negotiations on Gallagher so he decided to return to London and I think Atletico Madrid will not succeed in recruiting him this season. Though the presence of Gallagher in the squad can help Atletico Madrid become stronger but this has not yet been realized. As you say if they are serious, maybe Gallagher is not left to fly to London because it will cause speculation about the future that survives or leaves this season.

Chelsea have to secure Plumer because there are many clubs that may be monitoring him. Plumer appearance is also arguably good last season so Chelsea don't want to take risks. Chelsea are building the strength of the team for the better and they must try to maintain players who contributed last season.

This is actually a form of Chelsea's protection for Palmer because after all, with the current conditions and by looking at the performance that Palmer is their only successful purchase in recent seasons because his performance has always increased, it seems that the release date will be a little easier to break into other big clubs if they are interested in Palmer, especially since his value is also still quite cheap before when Chelsea managed to bring Palmer from Manchester City so they forced to renew the contract even though until now the contract still remains long enough just to increase the value of a Palmer.
Chelsea have the right to do that and we don't need to be disappointed even though their current actions are actually unnecessary but they already have a policy for that and they are free to do it.
It's just that with this, Todd must start thinking about his money from now on because if something like this continues to happen then sooner or later their finances will be in trouble later.

There will be other challenges in the Premier League, not just Manchester City and Arsenal. Many clubs will try to stop Guadiola from winning the league title this season. Chelsea is signing many young players and will perform well in the league, even if they do not have the opportunity to win. they will try and end in top 4,  and I think they are on race for Osimhen and if Chelsea achieve Osimhen this season before the Windows close.

I feel Chelsea will be stronger in the striker role since they lack finishers on the pitch and struggle to win goals, but if they are given the opportunity to bring Osimhen, they will undoubtedly win games and fight with the other large clubs in the league. Arteta has tried many seasons to win the EPL but has yet to defeat Manchester City, and if they don't get a better striker who is more talented, they won't succeed against Manchester City because Guadiola is a very experienced coach who has read all the coaches in the EPL and knows how he can do and defeat them on the pitch, so Arteta needs to use another strategy to capture Guadiola plan.

You know for the past two seasons now Mikel Arteta have shown resilience for Arsenal because even though he didn't win the premier league but it's not also easy to come out second in the league table for two consecutive seasons, he is optimistic despite that the challenge is becoming tougher for him but I see determination in him to bring a trophy for Arsenal and he can achieve that if he puts more efforts than he did last season but talking about the champions league i don't think Arsenal is prepared to win the champions league yet and for the fact that there are still more stronger competitors in the champions league makes it difficult for Arsenal to hope for a champions league triumph but they should still try their best to upgrade their performance this season. The problem with Arsenal is that they always have a good start but to maintain in same energy is the problem they have so they should try I do things differently this season for the growth of the club and to entertain their fans.

I would say that Chelsea managed to finish in the top 10 of the table because of Cole Palmer's excellent performances last season. Otherwise, the Chelsea team could not even be in the top 10 of the table. Cole Palmer had 22 goals and 11 assists in 33 games last season. He was Chelsea's best player. Besides, no other player has been able to play consistently well.

Chelsea are looking to strengthen their squad and challenge for the Premier League title. In such a situation, Chelsea will never decide to sell a young talented player like Cole Palmer. If Osimhen and Cole Palmer are in Chelsea's attack, Chelsea's attack will be stronger. But they still can't reach a final decision on whether Osimhen will be bought by Chelsea management.

Last season he managed to lift Chelsea performance even though he had not been in the squad for long time, Palmer arrival was the answer to their attack line which was previously quite blunt, so it was indeed appropriate for him to get a contract extension and also a salary increase from Chelsea, but in my opinion, Chelsea should have been more inclined to increase his salary as a form of appreciation for his performance last season, but extending the contract to 9 years is of course a big gamble that Chelsea should not take at this time with Palmer who has only been with Chelsea for one season, because we don't know how he will perform in 9 years later, Palmer showed significant performance in his first season but most young players often experience inconsistencies in the following seasons, especially when there are coaching transitions and changes in their squad.

Conor Gallagher was previously at Atletico Madrid, but now he has returned to the Chelsea training camp even though he is in a disappointed condition after previously he was only one step away from joining Atletico Madrid, at the moment we don't know why he returned to Chelsea, but it seems like the two teams haven't found an agreement to realize the transfer, especially since it is reported that Chelsea wants Joao Felix or Samuel Omorodion as conditions.

In the upcoming season, situation is going to be interesting for the few clubs because we are having too many changes and things could be not easy for clubs to keep themselves at the top level West Ham having troubling time in last season due to poor quality but now in this season we are having too many good names into their squad which will surely improve the performance and quality of the team, and they could be able to fight back for the top ranks because they surely need to be stayed in upper half of the league table.

Wan Bissaka and Fulkrug are good purchases with these things could be on better level even too many Surprises about few players because mostly were not expecting them to be here, but they are now part of this club for their contribution.

As regards to Palmer's new contract, IMO a salary raise due to performance is not a bad idea as he was the best forward or the best player for Chelsea last season and even as we speak, there should always be a reward for good work. 

But They are also trying to exploit a loophole in Financial fair play rules that allows you to spread huge amounts over a longer period of years. Also, as you have rightly suspected it also gives them the leverage of holding on to players as regards to market value. Imagine a player like palmer leaving for other big teams next season with about 7 years left on his contract, Very huge some. The new owner and board directors want the money they have invested because a lot has been invested.

It has been revealed that Gallagher has returned to London and is currently training with Chelsea, negotiations between Chelsea and Atletico are ongoing, but at the moment the teams cannot agree on a transfer fee. I think if Atletico were more serious about getting Gallagher, they would not have let him return to London to train with Chelsea, so perhaps this transfer will not happen.
And Plumer's new contract is impressive, it shows how much they value him, and do not want to allow him to move to another team, but 9 years seems too much.

Palmer deserves it all because of his impressive performances last season. Chelsea are trying to invest in Palmer, he is a talented player and his ability will increase if the coach can handle him well. Chelsea's additional salary and contract duration are in anticipation or to prevent him from moving to another club, in addition Chelsea will also increase the Bay Out Clause so that other teams have difficulty poaching him from Stamford Bridge. Hopefully the change of coach will not affect his performance, Enzo Maresca must be able to make him a future star who can help Chelsea win trophies again.

Indeed, during the two seasons Arsenal showed good development, there were always significant changes. In my opinion, Arsenal's only weakness is that they do not have a striker who consistently scores goals in every match, or in other words, a striker who is hungry for goals. Arsenal does not have that yet, if Arteta gets a striker like that I am sure the percentage of winning the EPL trophy will be much higher. or even win the champions league.

besides that it will be difficult to talk about Man City which is indeed not easy to beat, Pep is still very much relied on in the City squad, he is able to make the competition in the English league even more difficult.
during the two seasons I saw these two clubs showing tight competition in the league standings.

Personally, I would say it is a good contract for the young superstar. He will improve in performance as he is getting old and big clubs will be looking for how to bring Palmer into the club. Watch the youngster how he performed last season, he single handedly elevated Chelsea to the 6th position on the table and they are in conference cup.

He is still show his outstanding skills this season by scoring more goals and assist. I will say that since Todd took over Chelsea, Palmer is the best signed player. In the nearest future his praises will be on the lips of all Chelsea fans.

That's my point, many people believe that Ten Hags has bought many players to strengthen their performance, but I stated before that I'm not happy that Ten Hags bought two defenders because he is the same manager who was unable to improve their old players, Manchester United has a lot of players who can't perform at their high level since Ten Hags took over as manager, and now they've signed two players, and many people believe that Manchester will improve after signing. Let us see what Manchester United achieves next season, otherwise, I am not expecting a lot from them.


I believe the Chelsea management was impressed by Palmer's performance last season and chose to increase his salary. We don't know what the Chelsea management's target is, do they want the player to finish his career with the club? Palmer is currently 22 and has signed two additional contracts, making nine years with the club, Palmer will be 31 by then. Palmer's salary deserved to be increased based on his performance last season, but I don't think signing a new contract is an ideal choice because Chelsea management can add new players at any time and decide to sell Palmer to another club.

Pedro Neto is definitely young and exciting. But I honestly think he is over hyped. He is 24 years old, but as exciting as he is, he is not bringing in good enough results which he should be in my opinion. Now I understand that he might play on the winger position, but even after that, for a forward player to have only two goals in 20 matches is just not good enough. It’s like he is the budget version of Antony . I know that goals are not the only contribution that a player can do for his team, but I still think he should score more.

At the same time, the argument is completely trance on its head when we look at the number of assists that he has made. Suddenly it doesn’t look like he is a bad player or as bad as someone might think him to be. Emm, nine assists and two goals in 20 matches is not bad for a 24 year-old, isn't it?

All I am trying to say is it is good that Chelsea have brought him in. But they should not trust him too much at the start. Give him chances and see how he does.

Sometimes I think, the money Todd Boehly has spent for injury pron Pedro & Kiernan Frank, if it was spent on Victor Osimen or at least buying a good goalkeeper, both or one of them would have improved the squad.

Of all the names, only Wan Bissaka is very surprising, even though this player has never caused problems at the club and he has always been able to show his quality for the Red Devils. I think Manchester United management made a mistake by releasing him and Wan Bissaka should not have been sold just like that. But I also won't blame the club's decision and it seems like they really need additional funds to be able to recruit the players they are targeting as has been revealed recently.

In addition, Fullkrug is a promising striker, his awareness to score goals in front of the goal is very capable and I am sure he will be able to compete in the EPL top scorer list next season. There will be at least 15 goals that he can score with the support of other players that West Ham has brought in so far. I hope West Ham can cook well and make the standings list continue to change every week.

I read some of the latest rumors related to Arsenal, some news sources reported that Arteta is unlikely to bring in a center forward in this summer's transfer window. It's a shame, I think they really need a forward who is hungry to score goals. Thus, the competition for the Premier League title will be even more open for The Gunners. Given their performance in the last two seasons, Arsenal has been able to closely shadow Manchester City in the League table. It would be a shame if Arteta doesn't bring in the players they really need, because Arsenal doesn't have a striker who is a finisher. Even though Arsenal has G.Jesus, Nletiah, Trossard and even Kai Havertz, they are not the type of players who are able to consistently score goals for Arsenal. Even though Arsenal's game is very collective with the type of striker they have, for us as Arsenal supporters we need a pure striker who is qualified. Maybe with that, Arsenal will be closer to the Premier League trophy.

Whenever I see things like this, I take a close look at players from before who have signed same similar contracts and how did it go for them? Pay attention to the case of Gareth Bale when he played for Real Madrid or should I also mention the name Isco? Things didn't get well for them at some points and when they wanted the exit the club made it difficult for them to leave.



Anyone else paying close attention to the hammers? ( West Ham United ). When I take a good look at their blunders from last season, they indeed suffered heavily in defense and so far they have brought just the right names to boost the defense. Tobido, Kilman and also Aaron Wan Bisakka from Manchester United will definitely add to make that defense solid.

Füllkrug from Borrussia Dortmund was one of the germans with the top goals, I believe he could also do the same with West Ham United.

The  same I'll say for Summerville, he was very creative from his previous club, I'm sure he'll add to the creativity and goalscoring of Bowen.

From the changes that we have seen so far in the Arsenal team, of course it would not be wrong if many people are more hopeful to see Arsenal become a candidate for champions next season and have the potential to beat more of their rivals in the Premier League. I also see that Arteta himself is still quite enthusiastic about making changes to the Arsenal team so I am not surprised when Arsenal can win right away at the start of the season. However, Pep Guardiola's team will still be a tough competitor for Arsenal next season so Arsenal must remain vigilant against Manchester City.

Cole Palmer is a young player who has the potential to become a bigger football star. And Chelsea is pinning their hopes on that. And Todd Boehly is invested in this. Now this does look a little strange. But we'll see because I think Palmer is a great young player with potential. He showed his good qualities not only when defending Chelsea. but he has also been a very instrumental player for the England national team at Euro 2024. Yes, Cole Palmer is the only player who immediately scored a goal after being put on the field a few minutes. He was a second tier player but immediately scored 1 goal for England with a kick from a corner which was actually quite difficult. I wouldn't be surprised if Chelsea put this player on a long contract so that one day this player could be worth more. But yeah, a contract until 2033 is a bit excessive. but let's just see if it's worth it or not. but I like this young player.
