Well, who wants to see Messi at Manchester City? Because if he moves to PSG, then the French will surely win all possible titles for the coming year.
I'd prefer to see him move to none of them, and to another club that isn't spending millions upon millions each season. I highly doubt that Manchester City will have the capability of bringing in Messi at least while complying with English league laws. There's also the Kane saga going on. Imagine if Manchester City managed to get Messi, Kane, and Grealish all in one transfer window. It would be ridiculous, and this also applies to PSG who has also had a absolutely ridiculous transfer window.

Inter have rejected Chelsea's €100m offer for Romelu Lukaku. But it seems like Chelsea won't be giving up on him soon. They are preparing to make a bigger offer. Inter chairman is already not too eager to sell Lukaku to any club. So this will be a quite hard deal for Chelsea to end successfully. It's also said that Lukaku wouldn't say no to going back to Chelsea. Let's see what the coming days will bring us.
I honestly do not feel like City made the right choice here with Jack, they should have gotten Kane because he was a better player. They paid 117 million according to transfermarkt, and if that is true I am pretty sure they could have gotten Kane for that money too right? Plus they still need a pure striker, Gabriel Jesus is a great player but he is an overall player and not a pure striker, he doesn't always look at scoring every time, he runs, he passes, he playmakes, and yes he does score as we all know. What City needed was a pure striker in front of him so that this would be a great deal for them.
In any case, I think it is still City and they are still one of the best teams in the league if not the best team as they were for the past few years. What I really want to know is, did they talked about Kane with Spurs? What was the price requested?

Well noticed, as Messi's transfer to any of these clubs would imply a slap in the direction of Fair Play's ethics. But that doesn't matter ... the main news is that Qatar has offered the Argentine a billion dollars. Just think about this figure ... 1 billion dollars over three years, I just don't have enough words. So stock up on popcorn and watch what kind of dough Messi is really made of, whether he opts for money or fame (in the hope of getting another cup in the Champions League).

N'much news: Chelsea have joined the race and are looking to strengthen the attacking line. The owner of the London club, Roman Abramovich, asked for an urgent meeting with Leo's entourage through an English intermediary, and is ready to accept any requirements of the Argentine.

Dortmund decision to not sell Halaand this season forced chelsea to look for another striker to fill chelsea front line next season, chelsea decision to recruit Lukaku was indeed quite right, especially since we knew that Lukaku had played for chelsea before, so that Lukaku ould not take time It took a long time to adapt to the English Premier league, but the news about Lukaku joining Chelsea is bad news for another London team, namely Arsenal, because with Lukaku departure it will automatically make it difficult for Arsenal to get Lautaro Martinez from Inter Milan, because Inter Milan will rely more on Lautaro Martinez as their striker next season if later Lukaku really will go away.
Without a suitable replacement it will be difficult for Inter to release two of its best players in one season. Lukaku and Martinez are Inter's mainstays and maybe Inter should find a suitable replacement before the two move to other team. If Lukaku is successfully bought by Chelsea while the transfer window is still open, then Martinez will likely not be sold again until Inter find the right replacement. As an Arsenal supporter, it seems Chelsea's interest in Lukaku leaves you a bit disappointed, doesn't it? 
He's good but he's not done anything to justify that tag, but it's getting out of hand with these transfer fees when even average players are fetching silly money. I suppose it depends on their finances and who they've sold, but they surely can't afford both Grealish and Kane. Is the Grealish signing a done deal? If it is I'm betting they're regretting that now Messi is a free agent and City would have been on of the likely teams he was interested in.
English players have overvalued price on transfer market. I don't say Grealish is not a good player but the cost for him is high crazily and it is an overpaid transfer from Manchester City.Messi is already a free player and Manchester City won't not pay transfer fee. The issue is salary for Messi and how to convince him to join Manchester City. Pep can be a plus point for them to convince Messi. Manchester City can help Messi to win at least one Champions League before he ends his career.
well its not only in EPL, the overvalue trend has been there since the oil money involved in football, nobody can deny this.
the trend getting crazy and crazier year after year, its start from cristiano transfer to madrid with 95m euro in 2009/2010 (not oil money though)
sane , john stones & kyle walker each 52m euro in 2017-2018
rodri, sterling & laporte 60m euro each
cancelo, mahrez & ruben diaz 65m euro each
de bruyne 80m euro and now grealish 117m euro!
all by manchester city oil money!
psg oil monehyside?
neymar himself cost 200m euro!
mbappe 150m euro!
cavani, dimaria & achraf hakimi 65m euro each.
jeez, oil money everywhere now.
financial fairplay isnt really fair though.
now a huge price tag would be a huge burden to bear by grealish to perform and meet that 100m price tag, wish him luck .
Looks like Chelsea are really serious this time. They have made transfers of some great players. In some rumors, Lukaku has also officially become a Chelsea player. It costs 130 million euro, which is fantastic. It looks like the Haaland option has been replaced by Lukaku. But officially I haven't seen it on the Transfermarkt site.
If Lukaku is officially already a Chelsea player, then they will no longer need Haaland. Or rather, Chelsea would like to get Haaland too, but I doubt they will be able to buy both players. Borussia Dortmund is not focused on keeping Haaland, it is a very good deal for them.

According to report, Lukaku told Inter to accept Chelsea offer. I think he will make Chelsea squad stronger, if transferred to Chelsea.

Is the Grealish signing a done deal?
Yeah it is.
Aston Villa release public statement to explain Jack Grealish decision which made Liverpool millions (2million from a sell-on clause after they bought Danny Ings, not something to gloat about at all).
So basically they confirmed that he was sold and then they reinvested the money with more players.
Looks like every time a forward leaves they buy another marquee. So they're just playing with the same strength front line over and over again.
I don't think Kane will go to City, it'll probably be like the Messi drama that started in 2019 when he had a rift with management and just now, two seasons later, left Barca.

He's definitely good, and has manged to shine in a Aston Villa side which I would describe as overwhelmingly average, however they did over perform last season, which is probably because of the impact that Grealish had, but I don't think hes a huge improvement over Manchester City's existing players.
Grealish is good but the appearance of Jack can put other players in the squad of Manchester City in uncertain positions. De Bruyne has a solid position, Bernado Silva too. Grealish probably takes the position of Phil Foden. It wil be bad for Phil after the last good season.Quote
If Manchester City get Kane or actually any prolific striker, we'll be one step closer to having a one team league, similar to that of the French league. I don't want that, and that's exactly the reason financial fair play was introduced, to prevent this from happening.
Kane is the most desired player of Manchester City now because they need him to replace Kun Aguero. Gabriel has never provided enough goals for the club. Sterling is not a striker and unbelievably misses great opportunities. 
I'm not really that concerned about Man City getting Grealish. I don't think he justifies that 100 million price tag. I mean, Sancho who I would say is arguably better than Grealish by quite some margin went for less. The issue is if they get Harry Kane, I know that Kane is trying to force a move at the moment, and I think everyone, but Man City fans are hoping it doesn't happen. It would be the biggest example of buying the league that I've seen, and it begs the question what's happened to financial fair play? I know that Manchester City has previously battled the financial fair play, and actually won in court, but surely they couldn't get away with it if they were to acquire Kane for 150-200 million?

I hope Manchester City don't force their will to buy Kane this season after they managed to buy Grealish for €100m. Actually I don't know why this midfielder is priced so high and why Manchester City are so eager to get him when many other midfielders are much cheaper than Grealish. Everyone knows that Manchester City have the financial capacity to buy expensive players, but if they spend a lot of money to buy players in one season then they have to face financial fair play.

It's was a little too late though. Teams like Man City have already bought themselves titles by throwing ludicrous sums of money at players before the fair play rules were introduced and enriched themselves so much they might never be dethroned.
According to some rumours, Manchester Utd are still putting in an effort to sign Atletico Madrid right-back Kieran Trippier in this transfer window. But Atletico Madrid clearly stated that they were not thinking of decreasing their £34m asking price. The 30-year-old player had a decent season last. He got 6 assists in 28 La Liga games in the last season. He was transferred by Atletico from Tottenham for €22m. Now he has a market value of €20m. So I think this shows that Atletico are not very willing to sell him to any club now. That's why they are demanding this much money from Manchester Utd. I don't think that he's worth more than €20m now.
It is said that Paul Pogba is going to start the season with Manchester Utd and then decide what do before the transfer windows ends. PSG seem to be still interested in signing him this summer. But I wonder what Pogba thinks about this now. He is actually doing quite good here. He had a really good season too.
According to the news circulating, it is not only PSG who want Paul Pogba but Paul Pogba former club, namely Juventus, has also sent a proposal to buy Paul Pogba from Manchester United and according to Calciomercato, Juventus have offered Pogba for 50 million euro, it seems selling Pogba is the right move for Manchester United because Pogba contract will expire on June 30, 2022 and until now Pogba has not signed a contract extension and this is the reason some rich clubs want to buy Pogba.He's definitely good, and has manged to shine in a Aston Villa side which I would describe as overwhelmingly average, however they did over perform last season, which is probably because of the impact that Grealish had, but I don't think hes a huge improvement over Manchester City's existing players.

Remember, that Manchester City did very well, and sort of run away with the league on multiple occasions with Aguero being out for half the season multiple times. If they have a player that is as good, and doesn't have as many injury problems, that's a massive problem for the balance of the league.
Grealish shone with Aston Villa last season and I've seen him a few times and more and more since I found out Manchester City started to take an interest in him. To be a great player maybe Grealish will have to compete and adapt quickly at Manchester City and I hope he can do that in his first season. I don't think Kane will be a Manchester City player for the 2021/2022 season although it looks like Kane is starting to force himself to leave Tottenham. City should consider FFP if they don't want to be punished, but City really need to get a prolific goalscorer in place of Aguero who moved to Barcelona.If Manchester City get Kane or actually any prolific striker, we'll be one step closer to having a one team league, similar to that of the French league.

But I think Manchester City are really making the player he's after more expensive. Either because they have a lot of money or the other team just wants a lot of money from Manchester City or indeed the player they are after deserves that kind of price.
I don't know how much money Manchester City still have after signing Jack Grealish for a great deal of money. €120m is absolutely too much. And I believe that it is a quite high price for a player like Jack Grealish. I don't mean that he is a bad player but he is not perfect either.
Now, this could mean also that Harry Kane transfer wouldn't happen in this transfer window. But let's see what they will say or do about this.
