Today, information has already appeared on the pages of the Football-Italia publication that Osimhen can extend the contract with Naloli, he will receive a salary increase, and besides, he initially wanted to continue his career in Napoli. I saw the news that Chelsea are interested in him, but perhaps 100mn is not the amount for which Napoli are ready to let go of such a talented striker.
€100m is very logical in my opinion for a player like Osimhen. While he should be the target for all top teams, Napoli aren't willing to let him go like that! For example, Kolo Muani is being targeted by PSG and although there isn't any agreement yet, but signing him will reduce the chances of getting Osimhen. Now hearing that the player himself want to stay in Napoli then I assume it will be a waste of money to not get that big amount of money from selling him but the positive side, Napoli could be the favorite candidate for the scudetto next season with him in the attack line. |

Klopp's major problem from last season was creativity from the midfield and he really wants to change that. I feel their midfield is okay right now but they need an additional player for quality squad depth.
Liverpool will be a contender for the league next season. They will continue on the form they ended with last season. The players and coach are very motivated right now so they will be ready next season. Liverpool will most likely not go without a trophy next season.
I'm looking forward to seeing MacAllister for Liverpool. I really enjoyed him at Brighton and he was superb in the world cup. I love intelligent midfielders and MacAllister is not only intelligent, but he's also a worker, the perfect player for Klopp's system.
We have to expect that Liverpool will return in the competition after their horrible season. They lost Firmino who moved to Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia league for free and they got two midfielders who could boost the team. I agree that the midfield need special attention to make the game be smoother but they need to focus on the attack line too with Salah playing good and Nunez improving his performance. Until now I don't see Liverpool very competitive for EPL title but picking a Champions League spot or maybe FA or EFL Cup might be possible. |

I think Harry Kane will be able to adapt to the Bundesliga if it is true that he joins Bayern Munich in this transfer window. Yes, Harry Kane almost has the same thing in common with Lewandowksi, that is why Bayern Munich are really trying to make this signing work for them to do.
I think Bayern Munich will increase their bid to convince Tottenham to let Harry Kane go for them. For now no other competitor has come to Tottenham to recruit Harry Kane. I think Bayern Munich are in the front line to get Harry Kane this season.
Spurs aren't willing to let Harry Kane go to any club inside England while the player doesn't seem wanting to leave Tottenham. At least he didn't select any club yet. For PSG, they appear to be attached with Mbappe. For Real Madrid, there isn't any move. Bayern Munich are willing to sign him but without paying much since they have the intention of signing Niclas Fullkrug from Werder Bremen for less. |

Generally there is a list of countries not authorised to use credit cards, otherwise fees are the limited factors for using these services when they are very high. The card will be available as physical but also virtual form which is pretty good. Hopefully it will not be restricted just after the launching due to restriction from the issuers... |

So Gerrard is the 2nd coach come to the Saudi Professional League this season after Jorge Jesus became the first when Al Hilal was announced as their new coach
As we suspected the surprises are not over this league will bring in more top players and coaches Europe, I can't wait for the matches from these clubs next season
At first I was worried that this league would be dominated by AL Nassr but now not, because 4 clubs are taking the same step.
This is not over yet since Saudi teams are still trying to pick more players and managers eventually. This season things become interesting in Saudi Arabia and more teams are attracted to the recruitment race. Al Nassr for exemple seems interested in Saul Niguez and Carvalho from La Liga and Al Ahli with Firmino. Al Hilal and Al Ittihad are the other two teams that are taking the lead in this mission. |

Saudi Arabia league will soon be as competitive as Bundesliga or Ligue 1 if they continue recruiting players that way. They started with Cristiano Ronaldo and every day you hear about new name coming to play there. Mendy, De Gea, Neves, Koulibaly, Firmino, Kante, Niguez, fofana...are names that joined or will join Saudi Arabia league! Lol no way that they ever become as competitive as Bundesliga or Ligue 1. Sure, they managed to attract some players but those players are mostly past their prime and just came for one last big contract but it would take much more to come even remotely close to Europe level of football. Imho, I see it as just another fad that will eventually pass, like it happened years ago with China. Well, honestly in Bundesliga and Ligue 1, apart from Bayern Munich, Dortmund mainly and PSG +/- Lens and Marseille, the other teams are quite normal although their big names and the name of the players they have. If we incorporate the teams that Saudis are trying to build by recruiting many European players then they will be as competitive as Marseille and Lens, or Leipzig and Leverkusen for exemple. The remaining Saudi teams if they pick similar players then we will have something similar to Bundesliga and Ligue 1. Dunno if you understood what I meant. |

PSG are about to be quite active in the transfer market as it seems. There have been many players being speculated with joining them. Skriniar and Lucas Hernandez are the biggest candidates for centre-back position. Lee Kang-in transfer has been completed by PSG as far as I know. He is a quite good talent who is only 22 now.
On the other hand they have been after Bernardo Silva signing also. But they might have to be ready to pay a lot of money for his fee as his market value is even €80m. Besides he is a very important player for Manchester City. They wouldn't let him go unless they reach an agreement on a very profitable deal.
I don't see any speculation related to the centre-forward position for now. Maybe they don't want to be hasty about that until Mbappe situation is clear. But even if he stays Icardi is likely to leave on one hand. Therefore I don't expect them to finish the transfer window without a striker signing.
PSG need to have a good management first, players with quite long contracts for the stability of the team second, and third to choose wisely the best ones without overspending. For Mbappe, it is unclear yet what he is planning to do but wearing the away jersey of PSG send a message that he will stay. We will see anyway, things change even in the last minutes. |

Chelsea already sold some players which am sure Pochettino made the perfect decision by selling those players, it’s of no use keeping all those players, they have no any impact on the club’s performance, the club is just getting worst, chelsea is just wasting money on them, I really commend Pochettino for making the decision which he made to clean Chelsea squad, and he is making good decisions by signing new players, am sure the player’s which he sign will help Chelsea performance, but Chelsea management have to give Pochettino to stabilize with the new players, they shouldn’t be in rush, things might not really be easy for the coach at the beginning of the season, so he should be given enough time to adapt with the club and the new players joining.
Chelsea got money from selling Havertz, Mendy, Kovacic, Koulibaly, Loftus-Cheek, and they added Nkunku and Jackson to the team. Eventually they will continue selling other players like Lukaku, Mount... in order to restructure the team. That move should be done to build a healthier team. Thus, we should be aware that with the current squad, fans shouldn't expect much from Chelsea other than trying to pick a Europa League or Conference League spot. If they want to fight for EPL or Champions League spot, they have to recruit more players and manage the team in a better way. |

If we check statistics in Serie A actually Lukaku did not contribute much to Inter from 25 matches Lukaku scored 10 goals and 6 assists but in the Champions League a little better 8 matches 3 goals overall not too impressive. Lukaku's best career in 2020/2021 when he got several awards after moving to Chelsea his career seemed dim and now he is 30 years old so I thought he only had 3 years to maintain his career, besides the Saudi League and Inter who else wants to approach Lukaku? I have never heard of another club want to bring Lukaku.
Romelu Lukaku career was ruined after his departure from Inter to Chelsea where he couldn't do anything. Chelsea spent a lot on him and got nothing in return and they have to give him back to Inter. They try to get like €40m from Inter which is trying to spend €30m after getting money from selling 2 players. Inzaghi wants Lukaku back and the player denied an offer from Saudi Arabia Al Hilal so I assume it is a matter of time to see Lukaku back in Inter, at worst as a loan. |

That release clause being made to prevent another club to buy him but if there will be a club that can afford to buy his release clause and that depends on napoli's choice whether the club is willing to accept it or not.
He is not worth with the risk of paying a huge amounts of money. He can fail in the new club. It's pretty much the same like hazard or even mudryk.
Buying expensive player is not giving guarantee if he will be success in the new club.
Sometimes the result may be opposite than what already expected by the management of club. Buying osimhen's release clause will be so stupid.
Keeping Osimhen in Napoli for another season will be a risky move because his market value will not increase more and they risk seeing the price asked halving by the next transfer windows.. There isn't any team that is foul enough to pay more than €120m for him in my opinion and his price will be lowered by the end of this summer transfer window. If Napoli were more open, they could get a lot of cash from his departure to Bayern Munich or Real Madrid or PSG, or any other club.. |

No one can doubt that Mbappe is a good player and he'd improve the squad of the Gunners but I don't think Arsenal needs such a player RN. He's got a self-centered mentality and I doubt he'd be able to fit in the team. What Arsenal needs is not just any kind of forward, but one who would be willing to share chances when he's not in a position to score, not a childish player who stops putting effort the moment he does not see the ball.
Its not that Mbappe would improve Arsenal, but he would improve just about any team in the world (except maybe Man City but I am pretty sure that Pep would fit him somehow). Having said that, there's literally 0 chance of him joining Arsenal as it would go against everything they do as a club and the most realistic scenario is that he ends in Real, either this season or the next (more likely) In other news, I still can't believe that it looks like Brozovic is going to Saudi Arabia in the end, mainly because it might have a big impact on our (Croatian) national team as level of play in Saudi league is much lower and I am afraid that will affect his performace for national team. Too bad that Barcelona can't afford him at the moment... Saudi Arabia league will soon be as competitive as Bundesliga or Ligue 1 if they continue recruiting players that way. They started with Cristiano Ronaldo and every day you hear about new name coming to play there. Mendy, De Gea, Neves, Koulibaly, Firmino, Kante, Niguez, fofana...are names that joined or will join Saudi Arabia league! For Mbappe, I think it is random to think he will agree moving to Arsenal, this if we suppose that they have enough funds to bring him there. |

Personally, I think PSG's owners should learn from Manchester City's example. Both clubs have very rich owners, but Manchester City is still a more successful club than PSG. Why is that so? Why did Manchester City finally manage to win the Champions League and PSG not even though they have three of the best footballers in the world, Mbappe, Neymar and Messi? It is not enough to just bring the best players, you also need to have a top coach who will know how to create a strong team, as Pep for example. Also, long-term systematic work and vision are needed, and PSG does not have that. How many coaches have they changed in recent years? What about Manchester City?  PSG problem is they don't have stable and good management at the same time. Ten Hag for exemple had a lot of horrible results with Manchester United in the beginning of the season but he managed to save the team and make it fighting for top spots. If he was in PSG, he would be kicked since the third match he lose. The other problem for PSG is they don't have a long term solution to keep the team competitive. Short term contract with top players made that difficult. A 2 years contract is nothing other than stress for the whole team since the player will be threatening of leaving them. Well, we should say that Ligue 1 isn't as competitive as EPL.. With all these reasons, it is clear why PSG fail each time while Manchester City made it this season. |

Arsenal will appear with a different face and will appear to be stronger in the upcoming 2023/2024 season. Yesterday in the 2022/2023 season, Arsenal looked attractive from the start to almost the end of the Premier League competition. They were able to dominate the top of the standings before being painfully cornered by Manchester City. Arsenal are even more determined to improve. Moreover, this season they will play in the Champions League as well. Arsenal have also targeted a number of players, including Declan Rice, Kai Havertz and Jurrien Timber. They need improvement on a number of fronts so they can compete for the Premier League and Champions League titles.
Reinforcements are coming to gunners squad and the market value of Arsenal is increasing according to that. Havertz already signed for Arsenal so his case is closed for them. Declan Rice contract will be signed soon since West Ham agreed to let him go to the other London club for £105m and Manchester City left the race of signing him. For Jurrien Timber he will sign soon and move out from Ajax to Arsenal. Improving the defence line, midfield and the attack line especially by having more options to use will make Arsenal threatening everyone next season. |

There are rumors that De Gea has previously agreed to a contract extension with a salary cut, but Man United was reluctant to sign the contract and provided a revised contract extension with a more significant pay cut clause. I think it was the significant salary reduction (revised contract) that caused De Gea to choose to leave Man United.
Losing De Gea could be a big problem if Man United cannot find a suitable replacement for his position. Besides Onana, Man United also seems to be interested in Justin Bijlow, goalkeeper of Feyenoord.
De Gea performance dropped and he was responsible for the loss of many games in the previous season along with Harry Maguire. I wouldn't call it a big loss since they could find a better goalkeeper elsewhere. |

Undoubtedly, Harry Kane's striking prowess in front of the goal makes him a perfect match to fill in the vacuum that's was created by the departure of the lethal Robert Lewandowski.
Harry Kane's days as a hot striker is nearing the end and if he fails to force a move away from Tottenham this summer, he might play for them through the rest of his career
I know Harry Kane is a good player but I find it a little bit exaggerated to see him as the unique choice that many teams are chasing starting from EPL teams to La Liga (Real Madrid) and Bundesliga (Bayern Munich) ones. Kane literally ruined his career when he agreed to extend his contract with Spurs and there is many players who require more attention |

Kvaratskhelia is a young player who is quite talented for the attacking position.
He was successfully brought in by Napoli for a fairly high transfer price and it seems that Napoli will still keep him until the contract expires in 2027 and today marks one year since he has played for Napoli.
During his career in football Kvaratskhelia has also won quite a few titles and this can make him a player with high transfer fees.
Napoli will not expect much return of investment from Osimhen who is in his peak performance and market value and who doesn't have much time left with the team before going as free agent or see his value dropping so better to sell him right away. For Kvaratskhelia, he is still young and his contract will not run shortly so they whether keep him or sell him if they find +€100m offer. |

I would put England over others aside from France, I would say it's France first, England second, Croatia third and so forth, rest could be similar because I believe one of those three will win it and rest do not have much chance. Obviously this is a tournament and anything could happen and we shouldn't really talk big about this.
I don't think England to be superior from Croatia although they have better players but Croatia have better team play. It is not names that make team successful but the way they playing, otherwise Morocco wouldn't play in advanced stage in Qatar World Cup. So I will go with France, Croatia, Spain then the others depending from their performance in each game. |

I agree, players like Nunez need time to adapt to a new league as competitive as the EPL and we sure knows he has potential, So all Liverpool needs is patience for him to get to that top tier they expect!!!
Over time Nunez will also get used to the team and the environment in which he plays, because adaptation is only a matter of time which eventually will also get used to everyone who has been in a new environment and I don't think there is much to talk about Nunez at that time this is because the final hope of the team that is currently sheltering him is to be even better next season by scoring more goals and glorious achievements. Liverpool is counting on Nunez as a future project of the team but they are consolidating their team in many ways. Until now they bought Dominik Szoboszlai from Leipzig and Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton. Since Firmino planning to leave to Saudi Arabia Al Ahli presumably then Nunez importance will be more clear and he has to prove himself. |

Kylian Mbappe has denied wanting to leave PSG this summer, he claims he only rejected a contract extension but wants to complete his already running contract at the club. Real Madrid are the only club showing serious interest and has informed PSG that they are willing to buy Mbappe for £200 million, apart from Real Madrid I am not sure Liverpool will be will want to sell their players to get Mbappe. I think moving to Real Madrid will be a boost to his career, he’s an incredible player and he’s young, PSG may be paying him a lot of money but if he wants to win ballon d’or, Real Madrid is the club he should go.
The situation is very complicated concerning Mbappe: - The player himself declared wanting to stay in PSG until 2024. That's what was said at least. - Real Madrid declared its interest in Harry Kane. Now the facts are the following: - Mbappe didn't activate a clause for extension of his contract with PSG. - PSG will lose Mbappe or exactly around €150m in 1 year. Since there is rumours about PSG wanting to recruit Harry Kane too then I think Real Madrid will get Mbappe and with the money paid for PSG they could purchase the player they want. |

Many Manchester United supporters are not excited about this deal because they feel Mason Mount does not fit in the calibre of players they want to see joining the club this summer. Mount is a good player and will be able to contribute his best to the team. He is not new to the league and shouldn’t face much difficulty adapting to Manchester United.
I believe Ten Hag has a point from picking Mason Mount from Chelsea. He needs him and he will contribute for the team if not in the beginning then at a later stage. I think Mount will face some difficulties adapting with the team and its style but he has the advantage of knowing well the league and how things going on. For the supporters, they might change mind early if they see him improving and helping the team. |
