Harry Kane is surely having love affair with Tottenham as he already spent nearly 14 years here, and it's his boyhood club with many records are also existing right now but as we have poor record of Tottenham then surely we need a better place for the player like Harry Kane, and now he is having last season here if Tottenham fail to sell him then surely in next season he could be free agent which could be more bad for the club because now they can sell him on very good price with this amount they can do many things specially bringing few good players for the long run also helpful for them.
Yes, Harry Kane already played with Tottenham for a long time, it is time to get a new team. Sure, Harry Kane becomes a special player in Tottenham, he showed that the team relies on him, he is Tottenham machine goal. He also becomes a captain that have a big role to lead Tottenham players in the field.

True, if Tottenham doesn't sell him in the current transfer window, Harry Kane will leave Tottenham with free agent in the next season. His contract expires in June 30, 2024. Or Tottenham may try to extend his contract for more years again.

Asking price is nearly €100M and Bayern Munich is paying around €60M but good thing happening negotiating are going on for the better solution hopefully things end in good for the all parties and Harry Kane will be also able to have his name as trophy winner in next season.
If Bayern Munich doesn't want to offer a better price, I'm sure Harry Kane will stay in Tottenham or may consider an offer from other club. I think Real Madrid can sign him if Harry Kane price is below €100M. Not sure if this is true, I ever heard that Kane's price above €100M.

I can understand that as I myself think that the first player who comes to mind when talking Tottenham is Kane and when you talk about Kane , Tottenham comes to one's mind. It would be a big loss for them and that is why I believe they will offer him a lot of money for a last signature from him.

This kind of problem always exists with players who stand out at a club. It's like the case of Ronaldo or Messi, the expectation of all fans on them is to stay at the club. How much money with a new contract will not make Kane comfortable if his heart is uncomfortable. His second move may have already peaked, last season he failed to leave. I felt some time at the beginning of last season Kane seemed to have a decline in quality. But he was able to perform professionally, he scored 30 goals in the EPL. But Tottenham suffered a final drop in the EPL.

That's what I thought as well last season when he decided to not leave Tottenham it was as if he missed the boat for the final part of his career. But he did perform really well and scored this high number of goals but the issue is: for what? Of course it is awesome for him to have this goal count and the performance in general, but when it does not come with titles then what is it worth? I have no reason to make his achievements smaller than they are because they are great and everyone acknowledges that. It is more that I feel sorry for him because a player of his category should be able to tell about titles as well one day. That he scored the goal in the final and won the trophy or something, but that is not possible with Tottenham.

Yes indeed, even if for example Kane really left for Bayern Munich and then played in the Champions League it would still be good, even though in the end it would still be difficult to win a trophy in this Champions League. But yes, at least if Kane plays at Bayern Munich, then at least a Bundesliga trophy can be an achievement that he will certainly get. So bottom line is, it's time for Kane to play for a better club that can have a big chance of dominating at least in the domestic league. Because yes, if Kane continues to play at Tottenham then there will be no achievements that he can achieve during his career.

That's it. If you see what Harry Kane individually achieved you would never think that this guy has never won a trophy with a team in his entire career and that is so wrong. He doesn't have to prove that he is a loyal player. He could have left many times but didn't. He was the top scorer in 2016, 2017 and 2021 in the Premier League and 2018 at the World Cup and he has numerous other individual awards, but still he is left with empty hands in regards to titles with his teams both nationally and internationally. Winning the Bundesliga or maybe even the DFB Cup would at least be something.

PSG was once led by several top coaches, Ancelotti, Laurent Blanc, Unai Emery and Thomas Tuchel, but all of these coaches were unable to lead PSG to win the Champions League. Failure after failure experienced by PSG in the Champions League does not mean the coach is unable to make PSG win the Champions League, but so far PSG has not had a winning mentality.

Apart from that, PSG, which seems to have no competition in Ligue 1, makes them feel awkward when playing big matches with other tough clubs. PSG has always been a victim of the toughness of other teams which has made them always fail in the Champions League. The arrival of Luis Enrique gives a little new hope, he must be given time and trust to make PSG a solid team. Enrique experience will be very useful for PSG, especially in realizing his dream of winning the Champions League.
You're right, that's obvious because PSG haven't really had the mentality to win the Champions League title. PSG have experienced the pain of failing in the Champions League final, but they can't do anything about it because other teams have more experience than them.

It's clear they've worked with some great and experienced coaches, but the depth of their squad has never been convincing. PSG must have good squad depth and also be coached by someone with experience, it will support their plans to win titles. Even if that doesn't guarantee them winning the title, at least it can increase their chances of winning the title.

I'm not sure that PSG in the hands of Luis Enrique will be fine, because as long as the owner's principal puts forward top players who focus on filling the front lines, the results are not much different. That is the problem that haunts PSG in the Champions League competition. Meanwhile, its rival club in the Champions League has more players with average skills. So Luis Enrique task is to change the paradigm that has long been attached to PSG, at least Luis Enrique has the will to fully manage the team, especially in terms of player selection. We hope that PSG really gives every player an opportunity and does not prioritize 1 player for business purposes.
The following season Paris SG would suffer a bit of a downturn when Luis Enrique joined Paris SG and tried a different technique.
With this new technique, it's a little difficult to adapt to the Paris SG players.
Hope as a fan of Paris SG wants them to keep performing well even without the old coach.

Real madrid was losing a lot during the second leg due to the ancelotti was picking wrong defender to play.
Ancelotti was using militao instead of rudiger which was able preventing haaland alone.
Ancelotti made a very great mistake in the second leg of the the match, he saw how rudiger performed in the first leg, then he should have make use of him in the second leg of the match, am sure if not for rudiger Manchester city will have won even the first leg of the match, but rudiger was able to hold Haaland very tight which made Haaland very useless in the match, if he used him in the second leg of the game, then am sure Manchester city will find it very difficult to win. In the second leg, Haaland couldn't score but he had lots of opportunities which he wasted, but Haaland didn't have opportunity in the first leg and rudiger was the reason.

Ideally, PSG's technical director and sporting director, have a partnership when looking to bring in newcomers. at the very least, Enrique should be involved in this summer's transfer window. thus, Enrique can have a player that suits his characteristics and the system. Enrique has experience when leading a club, won a treble winner.
The question is, is Enrique able to bring the SPG much better. should, yes. because, PSG has the finances that can bring in any player they want. if Enrique is given full support by the club, it is not impossible that Enrique can bring PSG much better. in fact, they could have become finalists in this Champions League competition.

But the first thing Enrique did was build the foundation so that his squad was much stronger. both in terms of game, team depth, system, and mentality. unfortunately so far our attention has been on the Mbappe transfer saga, which will ultimately interfere with the coach's work.
well, for now I can't measure PSG's strength map next season. so, we'll see every development for the sake of development. in fact, let's see what PSG do in this summer's transfer window. in particular, if Mbappe leaves.

Haaland has been also making a new record in his first season played on EPL. It's very hard to achieve what already achieved by haaland. He has become the beast striker in EPL. All of clubs are feeling worrying to face him in the field. I think that haaland's another season gonna be even crazy. It's caused by haaland has got his confidence to play in EPL. He will able to play so deeply next season. Haaland is such unstoppable striker right now.
It needs a defender like van dijk or rudiger to stop him.
With his stature that is slightly bigger than most of the other players, of course Haaland will have the opportunity to set another record next season. But the teams in the Premier League and also in several other leagues will also prepare tough defenders to block strikers like Haaland even though it is not an easy matter. I am also sure that Haaland will fight to make another record next season, especially in the Premier League because he will definitely not waste this opportunity.
I think other teams already figured it out. How? Well instead of letting Haaland score all the time, just mark him very tightly, put a player on him at all times and that means it would be hard for him to score, doesn't mean he won't and of course he will score a lot, there is no doubt about that but will he be able to score as much as he did last season? I am not sure about that.
He was a new sensation when he first got there and teams weren't really ready for him, so he scored a lot of goals on his early days, but if you look at latest weeks you will see that he wasn't capable of scoring much. This doesn't mean anything bad for City, because that means one player is already down from defense just marking Haaland, and others can score easier.

Earlier in the season we saw Haaland scoring a lot of goals. And he scored a lot of goals in the Champions League as well. Guardiola's match strategy was centered around Haaland. However, we haven't seen Haaland play well in the last few Champions League matches. Guardiola changed his match tactics. He was well aware that opposing defenders would have the main objective of stopping Haaland. And so we saw excellent performances from Grealish, De Bruyne, and Gundogan in the last few matches. And because of Guardiola's brilliant match tactics, Manchester City was able to win the Premier League and Champions League titles.

For me De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva were the best players in recent Champions League games... Bernardo was able to destroy Real's motivation in the first game... After his double it was clear that Real had no chance... And De Bruyne was able to score a return goal away and as a result Man City did not lose the match... Haaland hasn't been noticeable in recent matches...

Real Madrid aren't interested in big transfers into the defense line these days already. But they are continuing to strengthen their midfield considering the Bellingham signing. When they sign a top striker such as Mbappe or someone else they will be a much more deadly team in the attacking side.
The next season gonna be a bit difference but i don't even think real madrid gonna use bellingham to face manchester city. Real madrid was losing a lot during the second leg due to the ancelotti was picking wrong defender to play.
Ancelotti was using militao instead of rudiger which was able preventing haaland alone. I think that ancelotti shall not only focus in replacement of benzema. The defensive line looks so weak at this moment. Manchester city has proven it.
Real madrid needs to sign a proper defender to defend the club. Signing mbappe will be good as long as the defensive line gonna be balance with the attacking line.
The problem was on the defensive line. Im my opinion if mbappe is still far to become real's new player. Mbappe is still in a complicated thing with PSG. Mbappe is not willing to let club to sell him.


You're partly right and not right, Militao ain't no bad player, but I'll still prefer Carlos Ancellotti using Rudiger over Militao in the heart of the defense. Bellingham is a great lad, hopefully he adapts to the Spanish League sooner than we all expect.
The second leg, Militao did no wrong or play poorly, Manchester City was just on another level, but then, the absence of Rudiger was obviously seen. They need to sign a new right fullback. That was the weak link Manchester City used to operate.

Also, Luka Modric and Toni Kroos looks weak and tired, Rodri with the support of John Stone out powered them. They need to get Kylian Mbappe dome immediately, I concur.

After all, as a coach, of course, he will consider all lines to be good, so it is impossible for Ancelotti to only focus on attack lines in building a good squad. Maybe it would be good if Real Madrid continued to attack, but they also won't continue to attack forever because of course their defense will also be attacked by the opposing team. Therefore, building a team by considering the balance of players on each line is of course the main thing to pay attention to in reshuffling and rotating. Plus, Real Madrid is the team with the most wins in the Champions League, so of course, Real Madrid must be able to have a great squad every season.
It is completely wrong to think that a team will be strong just by arranging its attacking division. In order to organize a team beautifully, starting from the goalkeeper, the midfield and attacking points of the team should be arranged very nicely so that good support can be obtained from all sides, maybe Real Madrid is currently adopting that direction. Real Madrid felt that their midfield was a bit weak last season so they have put more emphasis on their midfield this season and the Spanish club have already signed English midfielder Jobe Bellingham. Real Madrid never play football sloppy. If they need a player in a certain place, they definitely hire a qualified player from that place, that is the specialty of Real Madrid.

Luis Enrique coach career is not smooth and he had failure with AS Roma. He only succeeded in Barcelona and somewhat with Spain so it's too soon to consider he is an excellent coach.

The test in PSG will be important to assess Enrique coach ability as he will have many challenges in PSG to handled. The club does not win Champions League even they were supported from their boss with so abundant transfer budget and other costs for club operation. He will have to restructure the club player resource including new players and selling some current players, it is big task in this summer for Enrique.

He will have a bigger and more important task, unite PSG players. With recent egoic reactions from Mbappe, the dress room in PSG has surely become worse and worse.

Ligue 1 is indeed inferior when compared to the Premier League, La Liga, Seria A and the Bundesliga. Not only popularity, but from the level of strength and the intense of competition, Ligue 1 still can't match it. Even, there is no team from Ligue 1 that has managed to win the champions league trophy in the last 20 years.

If we look at these conditions, it can be assumed that PSG did not really face a tough challenge in Ligue 1 and they become accustomed to such a level of play.

I also think that PSG doesn't have a winning mentality, especially on the Champions League stage. last season PSG was only able to make it to the round of 16. Even if we look at PSG having a series of star-class players, it can be said that almost all coaches want their squad to be similar to PSG. Neymar, Messi, Mbappe are the three big names they have, not to mention that the midfield is Veratti and behind them are Sergio Ramos and Hakimi. Nothing is lacking in terms of players and also coaches.

However, as you said, PSG really needs time to cultivate a winning mentality in order to be able to compete on the Champions League stage. I'm sure the presence of Luis Enrique as coach next season will change the mentality of the team in a better direction. He brings a number of experiences and awards as a coach, the players certainly respect him there. Hopefully he will be successful at PSG and can give the team the first Champions League win.

Sempre inter has been reporting that if intermilan gonna let onana to get a new club as soon as possible. It will be manchester united that will become onana's new club.
Quote
Inter Milan are close to completing a deal to sell Andre Onana to Man United and moving for Anatoliy Trubin and Yann Sommer as his replacements.
Im quoting it from sempreinter's article here https://sempreinter.com/2023/07/09/inter-milan-close-selling-andre-onana-man-united-signing-anatoliy-trubin-shakhtar-donetsk-yann-sommer-bayern-munich/
It has been said that if intermilan is interesting to sign two players at the same time. The only problem is now if manchester united has not yet finalized its offer for onana while intermilan is still waiting for that too.
It's quite surprising for me to see that inter wants two players to be bought by the club from different team.
I can't even expect inter will take such decision if onana gonna leave from intermilan.

Intermilan and MU gonna have new goal keeper. That will be also impacting the performance from the club in UCL next season.

I have the same thought. A team that has a winning mentality will have high motivation, optimism and fighting effort, and they can synergize into a solid team, so they know exactly what to do in order to achieve their target.

In my opinion, PSG doesn't have that yet. So even though they have a lot of star players, they always have a hard time to realize their dream in the Champions League.

PSG are very ambitious for the Champions League. and it leads them to burn too much money to get it all instantly. and they always fail. they didn't keep their best squad for long. if they can plan some good long term players. I think it is very likely that they will not only be Ligue 1 champions. It is possible that the target of their ambition for the UCL trophy can be achieved if they consistently build their team, not just with a business that brings them money.
after several strong players in their team left, it is possible that they will have a hard time competing in the Champions League.

They need two things,the winning mentality in Champions League which can only be build during many time participation there which they have done,now they have it as they have been participating from many years now and second is what they are missing which is a team that will play long term with each other and that both players will be harmonized and would have a single objective to win the Champions League while having fun playing.I think that when they will achieve this,to have a lot of great players in each department,defense,midfield and attack only then they can try to win the Champions League,I see difficult for them to achieve it this year.
I have the same thought. A team that has a winning mentality will have high motivation, optimism and fighting effort, and they can synergize into a solid team, so they know exactly what to do in order to achieve their target.

In my opinion, PSG doesn't have that yet. So even though they have a lot of star players, they always have a hard time to realize their dream in the Champions League.
