After successfully carving out a great record with Manchester City which made him the first coach to be able to win 2 treble winners in Europe. Pep Guardiola is on another mission after guiding Manchester City to their first treble winner, the mission I mean is to make Manchester City the third club to win the Sextuple title.
To become the first coach to win 2 Sextuple, Guardiola must lead Manchester City to win the FA Community Shield title, European Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup. With the current squad depth, can Guardiola help Manchester City win three more titles to become the first Premier League club to win a sextuple?
I believe Manchester City can achieve that. Guardiola planned friendly games vs Bayern Munich and Atlético Madrid by the end of July to see the teams performance and how ready they are before official games. First match will be played vs Arsenal regarding FA Community Shield. Gunners aren't easy but City are much powerful in my opinion. There is time for Arsenal to recruit more players and fix the team so we will see. Second match is UEFA Super Cup vs Sevilla which is feasible tho. FIFA Club World Cup will be more challenging depending from the teams that they will face. |

It has been discuss before and why PSG doesn't choose Mourinho as new manager because they know Mourinho pattern is the manager with defensive style and his tactic was so bored and not entertain many people so that's why although probably Mourinho will considering the offers from PSG if they choose them but PSG owner doesn't want to see this team will play with parked bus for each matches
Some people will argue that Mourinho is a better option but I will not want Mourinho in my team at this point in his career. Actually, at no point in Mourinho's career would I have loved him at my club. He's too defensive. I know he's sticking to what works for him and that is cool, but I just do not enjoy that pattern of football. PSG were lucky they did not sign him because they wouldn't have loved it later on. I hope Enrique can replicate his Barcelona performance at PSG and be a success for PSG. Luis Enrique is on Paris to finalise the contract with PSG so Mourinho page is turned over this season at least. Regardless of the way Mourinho manage his team and the tactics used, he proved in the past that he could lift trophies whenever he has good and well organised players. These years, he gets consumed and his way of playing football are well studied by his opponents, that's why he gets difficulties to win, besides he doesn't get what he asks for from the team, especially new recruitment. For Luis Enrique, he has to pick new players to replace the empty spots left by Messi, Ramos... The other teams started their chasing earlier. |

I have noticed that France can't be champions in Euro tournaments since Euro 2000. The last time they did was then and after that time they made it to the finale even for only once. They actually have a squad that can win a championship next time. In Mbappe's lead they can really do a great work. After missing the chance to win a back-to-back title in the World Cup by a small margin they would surely aim the next Euro championship. They have a comfortable qualifiers group so they should be finishing it as leader.
But the real challenge will be the main tournament. There are a couple of very challenging opponents for France so their job won't be easy at all after a point.
There is many good teams over there like Spain but definitely France is one of the best teams with a lot of good players since they collected them from different nations. Germany didn't recover yet and Italy are quite unstable right now. Croatia have a bad luck but are a threat for the others |

I don't know about solving the problems in Manchester united so soon because this team or club will definitely need time to restore it former glory days with sir Alex ferguson. I mean since he left the club Manchester united have seriously struggle to each in shape.
Eric ten Haag indeed has done brilliantly with the club in securing a place in the final three in table of the premier
League, but he still need more time to developed the club
Well, Manchester United is a team that doesn't have a problem with spending money to recruit new players and even top players. The problem is with the management that wasn't good nor stable to maintain the brilliance of the team. With Ten Hag, the team shortly moved from playing like clowns to compete for the top spots. That was a good step for a team that missed a lot of points in the beginning of the season. Next season will be more promising in my opinion for Manchester United but they have to consolidate the team and get ride of useless players. |

Even Modric is very likely to be sold by Real Madrid and move to another team in the middle of the season. Renewal of the contract is just Real Madrid's marketing strategy so that Modric does not leave on a free transfer, so if in the winter transfer market Real Madrid get an offer for Modric then it is very possible for them to sell him.
Real Madrid know that there are many teams who want to get Modric, so they have to move fast and seal him with a new contract. So if any other team were to approach him, then of course they would have to pay Madrid a transfer fee instead of free.
Limited contract is a strategy done by Real Madrid to keep their players while they are fit and let them go whenever they fail to prove themselves, otherwise the contract will be longer than 1 year. This point made Sergio Ramos for exemple quit Real Madrid although he was the captain and the longest player that played with the team exclusively. Modric is a good player and he can play good for another two seasons in my opinion |

I was thinking exactly about that. He flirted with Real Madrid for over half a decade now and Perez will be furious if now Liverpool is the one to snatch Mbappe out of nothing  As often as Klopp said that a transfer will never be possible for Liverpool and they won't even try to make an offer, as funny it would be now if he is wearing the Reds jersey next season. But yes I would also like to see him head-to-head not only with Haaland, but with the strongest teams from the Premier League in general. it would be an even more amazing league with him playing for Liverpool. Mbappe will left PSG a day to join Real Madrid until he became old or useless. That's the only reality I believe it will happen. If we continue to talk theoretically, then except Real Madrid, only few teams could afford him and his transfer money. Saudi Arabia teams but he will not move there since he is too young and he will ruin his career. Manchester City but they already picked Haaland and don't seem interested to pick him. There is Manchester United and Chelsea but we didn't hear anything from them. Bayern Munich? but Bundesliga isn't that competitive comparing to La Liga and EPL. |

Since we have a new poll, I will vote again for Manchester City as usual.
For me they are the best team and they have the best players. I think they need to fix few things to make the team even better like the midfield. Otherwise, the other teams are searching for players to recruit and to improve their teams too. Manchester United might become a threat along with Arsenal which I expect to be as competitive as the previous season. Liverpool will be on the list once they fix their broken system last season..

It seems the Saudi teams are still trying to hire more superstar players and coaches for their teams, and again Al Hilal is seeking to sign a contract with Paulo Fonseca for next season but they need to have some negotiations with PSG. That's why Fahad bin Nafil will visit France and try to hire Paulo Fonseca.
Saudi Arabia teams are trying their best to make their league known and popular at a point you see many people talking about it and here we have a post about it which is interesting in my opinion. After Modric and Messi refusal to join them, among other players, Saudis don't seem to refrain from searching top players and coaches to sign them. Popularity of this league increased and is increasing every time. |

Hanry Kane would definitely strengthen Bayern Munich. After their last season they have to build a new team and need important players like Kane. Should a transfer took place, it should only be Bayern Munich. At least that is what his management says. But this statement may just be a ploy to get other clubs to come forward quickly and to push his price.
Hmm I doubt Harry Kane will leave EPL to join a lower league like Bundesliga. I can understand La Liga move but I don't think he will be interested in other offers. Real Madrid was a recent target that seems to pull itself from him. I don't recall other news |

Hakimi is not yet deciding it. He is not quite interesting to join in manchester city. The different situation if it was madrid who has been putting interest to get him back again from PSG. Hakimi is very loyal to the real madrid but not for another club.
He was always opening his door for real madrid but he is not yet giving comment regarding city's interest to sign him. Im thinking if he may be trying to stay even longer in PSG rather than join in manchester city.
Hakimi potentially goes to the manchester city but it's not easy to say he will accept it caused by city was madrid's rival. Hakimi is not likely to accept such an offer from manchester city.
Hakimi like Real Madrid but what makes things more interesting is to play with Mbappe in the same team. Hakimi and Mbappe are friends and go along together, if Real Madrid manage to get both then it will be an interesting deal and we can say RIP PSG for real this time. PSG have to find a way to attract top players and keep their best ones. It seems like it isn't an easy mission.. |

Saudi Arabia teams are trying desperately to make Allegri join them but also Modric from La Liga rejected a very nice gift from them. It is about playing competitive football rather than enjoying money which is a little bit surprised. |

Indeed, we can imagine when Barcelona was eliminated by Inter Milan and Bayern Munich in the group phase where Barcelona had to give up early in the Champions League last season. I believe Xavi can restore Barcelona glory in the Champions League, but that may take time and management's hard work in bringing many star players into the depths of their squad.
It looks like the champions league next season will be even tighter and it will be tough for Xavi to take Barcelona to far in the champions league. Yes, it looks like their first target is to qualify from the group phase and enter the quarter-finals, which will be extraordinary. But so far the big hope is the ucl trophy even though it's impossible but there are always surprises that happen.
Champions League is always important and interesting to watch. The games there aren't easy obviously and next year will not be an easy challenge as usual. Barcelona's performance under Xavi improved but they still need to prove how powerful the club is among the present one. The only problem with managing Barcelona is how hard to get a cohesive team |

Manchester United have been on the rise since Erik ten Hag era started. The question is how consistent can they be next season? Hopefully thanks to the working system of him they should be able to stay solid. I'm imagining the Red Devils fighting for top 4 again in the worst case. The most important question is about whether they can do well in the Champions League.
They had better do so. Transfers will be crucial to help us have some ideas about it. I wonder what kind of a plan they have for the attacking line. Rashford to be the main striker and a winger transfer? Or maybe Rashford to stay on the wing and a striker transfer? The second one can be way better in my opinion.
Erik Ten Hag made a list of players to sell but there isn't a clear vision until now about the ones coming to consolidate the team in Manchester United. Among the rejected list there is Maguire, McTominay, Fred, Van de Beek, Hannibal,... Forgot the other names. There is goalkeeper position among what Ten Hag declared, likely Onana. There is rumours about Mount, Rabiot, Min jae-kim.. Basically improving all lines. |

I don't think so, Gundogan is no longer young but his performance and quality are still very good and his protection is really needed by the Barcelona team, as we know now the Barcelona team is filled with many young players and they need motivation from senior players and Gundogan is a player who appropriate.
Gradually we see Xavi building a much better Barcelona team and for next season I have no doubts after seeing the steps they have taken.
Barcelona are simply broke, they cannot spend much on players so they are collecting players free from any contract to lower their spending. Obviously Gundogan is a skilled player that can reinforce the midfield line after Busquets departure. Having seniors and juniors to learn from each others is a perfect thing but we should know that in 2 years there will not be Gundogan nor Lewandowski in Barcelona and they should count on other young players for the future of the team |

After Nagelsmann couldn't meet the expectations last season Tuchel will have a serious responsibility to make this team rise again. Of course they won the Bundesliga title anyway but it was thanks to Dortmund's unbelievable result on the final week. This can't be called as a successful season for them at all.
First the squad should be consolidated well which would increase their chance to bring back their usual dominance. But Tuchel's system will play the key role here. He can be relied on in the Champions League to be more competitive for being champion maybe. It was a big success of him that he won this title with Chelsea while they didn't have one of the best squads among the bigger title contenders.
Maybe he can do his magic here with Bayern Munich too but we will see. For now they have a long way to go for even being able to compete at the same level with the tournament favourite, Manchester City.
Bayern Munich season was chaotic and they were lucky to get Bundesliga title gift from Dortmund at the end of the season. Otherwise, the measures taken by staff and management were poor.. Nagelsmann sacking wasn't fruitful and Tuchel couldn't help improve their results. Next season will be tense for all of them, better to consolidate the team and especially the attack line to be able to face Dortmund in Bundesliga and Manchester City and the other folks in Champions League. |

It seems in this season Saudi teams are making trouble for the European teams and they are making players ask for higher amounts of money because they can get better offers from these Arabian teams, Lukaku can definitely be a good player for Milan but considering their financial situation I don't think if Milan can pay enough to Lukaku.
If Lukaku insist on playing with Inter Milan then Chelsea will end by letting him go there, they don't have many options. There is 2 players that left Chelsea to go to Saudi Arabia teams but the amount gained from them aren't that big since one go there as free agent. For Lukaku, his contract expires in 2026, there isn't a rush from Chelsea side to get ride from him with winning some money so indeed another loan is very possible. |

The reason is just simple that it will be maybe end like it was with Bellingham and Haaland , because other Clubs has more Money that they can use for players. Dortmund hasnt any rich guy behind there back and have to make there one Money from players and stuff. But yeah i guess Edson Alvarez can bring something special to Dortmund and the whole team. The market value of Bundesliga are a little above the half of what Bayern Munich have BTW Bayern have the 1/4 of the market value of 1.Bundesliga. Dortmund played their way with the tactics of making stars from young players then sell them with a good profit so they can bring more players and so on. Right now, it seems that Edson Alvarez is the one that seems close to join Dortmund, he is young and might improve with the team. There isn't much rumours about other players to join. |

His future isn't clear, there are many rumors about him.
Actually, his contract will expire in 2025, he has 2 remaining years. Since Messi has left PSG and Mbappe is rumored to leave as well, PSG may expect Neymar to stay. If you look at PSG attackers, they have only a few players on the positions.
I don't think Neymar wants to join Al Hilal if PSG still expects him to stay. Even if he will get a huge money in Al Hilal, the league isn't as competitive as League 1. He got enough salary in PSG, he seems to stay comfortable if Mbappe is leaving. But if Mbappe stays, Neymar is possible to move to SPL or MLS.
Sure, Barcelona won't sign Neymar. Neymar is no longer in his best form.
I doubt Barcelona will accept him back after his departure and the way he is playing right now especially with many injuries. He better leave PSG too if he wants to have a fresh start also. Going to Saudi Arabia will grant him money which was one of the purpose he left Barcelona for. Playing in MLS will make him feel some competition but with less money. Going back to Brazilian league might be interesting but I doubt he will do that before the end of his career.. |

And not to forget that there still hasn't been a trustworthy and public statement if Neymar wants to stay or not. He has a contract but everything can change quickly and that would be like an earthquake for PSG if they lose their three most popular players all within a few weeks. They can't fill those gaps with equal players and it will be a new start for PSG, but will they still call the win of the Champions League the main goal? If they do it, who are the players they want to win that trophy with?
PSG already played many games without Neymar so I wouldn't call his loss as important as losing Mbappe and less than that for Messi since his first season wasn't that top with them. Neymar performance dropped and injuries made him less valuable and his price/performance ratio isn't very profitable for PSG nor for the other teams around the world, except for business purposes or to attract people to their league  |

Neymar and Harry Kane are among Manchester United's favorites. If any of these two stars sign a contract with Manchester United, Manchester United's chances of winning the league title next season will increase a lot.
Maguire in the defence line and Neymar in the attack line will make Manchester United fans crazy  Harry Kane is far better than Neymar in my opinion in many aspects, better to chase him tho.. Manchester United have many plans to bring players but there isn't any move done yet as far as I am aware of. |
