This is first appearance for Bayern against strong team this season after a big win against an amateur team a few days ago but they cannot playing with full squad because some of players who got injured such as Choupo Moting and in my opinion Bayern were performing well especially in the first half that they looks control the game and Bayern too has gets several attempts to scores in the first 20 minutes and one of them is from free kick Leroy Sane but indeed Bayern weren't lucky because shot attempts from Sane was hit the crossbar but indeed Bayern still unable to playing consistent especially Manchester City too displayed solid defense which makes Bayern players seem to be struggling to create more chances to scores besides that Bayern players too seems had a problem with finishing touch because Serge Gnabry who played as centre striker was unable to performing well

Last time he was played on December last year with Sevilla and because he has bad relationship with sport director of Sevilla Monchi and at that time his performance also not as expected by the coach then Sevilla has decide to terminated his contract and now finally he will get new club again and why Real Betis want him because Isco was purposed as the replacement of Sergio Canales who moved to Mexico league however this is the 5th club during his career because previously he was playing at Sevilla, Valencia, Malaga and Real Madrid but people know him when he was defend Real Madrid because at that time he was successfully to gets 3 Laliga title and 5 champion league trophy although his performance was decline if we compared to when he playing with Real Madrid but indeed Isco is experience player

Sheriff vs Maccabi Haifa

Both teams in the good shape because they can able to qualified to the next round with impressive performance that Sheriff has just made epic comeback with eliminate Farul Constanța with scores 3-0 in the second leg even so with Maccabi Haifa that they were beat their opponent Ħamrun with total aggregate 6-1 so my prediction this match will be so tight and whoever the winner in the first leg will be determined their position to advances to 3rd qualification matches

Although this is away match but the current odds has showing Maccabi Haifa is the favourite with odds @2.36 and Sheriff as the underdog @3.10 but i don't think Sheriff will be easily to beat because during play at home Sheriff also quite strong and based on the recent performance from both teams Sheriff performance is more impressive than Maccabi Haifa however i think pick for the moneyline seems quite risky for this match that's why i was thinking for other option such as both teams to scores or probably draw

Manchester United has decide to raises Scott McTominay price tag this because if there is a team who want him they should be pay not less than 40 millions and actually West Ham has showing their interest to McTominay this because they still look for the replacement of Declan Rice and their manager David Moyes feel McTominay is suitable to be the replacement of Rice besides that Moyes also confirmed he really likes the style of play of McTominay but til now West Ham haven't bid yet for this player
Actually Ten Hag really likes McTominay so this option is still not certain because possibly Manchester United still needed McTominay service for next season but probably if there is a club who dare to pay with high price then Manchester United will considering to release McTominay and besides this rumour Manchester United also linked to Fiorentina player Sofyan Amrabat

Marseille has been confirmed that they gets Ismaila Sarr from Watford and they have to spend 13 millions as transfer fee and as a winger Ismaila Sarr was quite productive that during defend Watford he was scores 34 goals total and now Marseille has Ismaila Sarr and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Chelsea for forward lines and seems they were already to anticipate to losing Alexis Sanchez because these players can be considered as the replacement of him

However so far Marseille has got 4 new players including Aubameyang, Ismaila Sarr, Renan Lodi and Geoffrey Kondogbia from Atletico Madrid as free transfer status but seems they won't stop to buying players because Marseille manager want at least 1 more player for striker position and Marseille currently still working on to restore their fitness condition and they will starting their pre season match against Bundesliga team Leverkusen on August 2

There was a good news for Roma fans that their key player Pablo Dybala has been agree to extended his contract it say previously Dybala has a contract until 2025 and after the negotiation with Roma then Dybala agree to signing new contract until 2026 and Roma and Dybala also agreed to remove the release clause in the new contract which mean Roma has full control to determine the transfer price if Dybala wants to move someday
This summer some of people were predict Dybala will left Roma especially he has cheap price for release clause that 20 millions if there is Italian team who want him and 12 millions if those who want him is came from outside Italy and this also make Roma slightly fear to losing him because Dybala currently as one of important element for Roma and Mourinho also doesn't want to lost him

If i am not mistaken Mbappe price tag which officially announced by PSG is 150 millions which mean to those who want to buy him the price shouldn't be less than that and fantastic bid from Arabian club which is bid him for 300 millions indeed was very insane and i am sure PSG will be tempting to sell Mbappe with that price but Mbappe has a contract until 2024 so although they want to sell him but all decisions are in Mbappe's own hands that they can't force it if Mbappe doesn't want to be sold and recently Mbappe have already giving his respond to this rumour that he will refuse this offer and decided to spend the rest of his contract with PSG Mbappe even doesn't care if this decision will see him benched for the full season

I can see from the lineup for Manchester United today indeed Jony Evans is the only senior player who played and Manchester United with young players seems cannot able to displayed good performance and it proven from their statistics that although Manchester United were dominate the match but they only have 1 shot on goal during the match especially after Daniel Gore got the red card Manchester United seems looks very difficult to penetrate the defense of wrexham and after final whistle Manchester United have to lost with scores 1-3

On the other hand Arsenal too tomorrow will facing Laliga champion Barcelona and based on people prediction Arsenal and Barcelona possibly will playing with their best of starting lineup and according to the statistics i can see Barcelona is the favourite because from 3 recent meetings Barcelona were unbeatable from Arsenal and for Arsenal they still unable to displayed good performance and got dissapoint result from Manchester United few days ago and today lets see their progress whether they can able to beat Barcelona or they will lost again

First time i heard Atalanta want 70 millions for Rasmus Hojlund but apparently they were decide to raises his price to 85 millions and Manchester United only dare to bid maximum 60 for Rasmus Hojlund and Atalanta doesn't want it so this bid most likely will be rejected by Atalanta and this transfer have a potention to be failed because 60 millions is the final bid for Manchester United because if Atalanta aren't willing to lowering the price then Manchester United will switched their target to look for other striker

And about Anthony Elanga in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer era he was gets the opportunity to playing with Manchester United senior team and the records 7 goals from 35 match is quite impressive considering his current age and when Ten Hag come to this team Elanga was struggled to break into the first team which make his performance was decline because last season Elanga was only played 16 times with no goals and mostly he starting the match as substitution player and moved to Nottingham Forest is good for his career because at this team Elanga will gets more opportunity to play

Mbappe linked to Barcelona was only a cheap rumour and media speculation because with the current condition of their financial it's impossible for Barcelona to buy Mbappe and they even have to release some players with high salary just like Busquets or Jordi Alba to balanced their financial condition and Barcelona too didn't give their respond to this rumour so Mbappe to Barcelona is very impossible and for now if Mbappe want moved from PSG then he have to choose rich clubs this because he is the player with the most expensive salary in the world and so far only Arabian clubs and Real Madrid who will be able to pay his salary because we all know Real Madrid too known as a team with stable and rich finances

PSG has gets unsatisfactory results today that playing as the favourite against Al Nassr that most of PSG fans were expected they will be able to win with big scores especially Al Nassr recent performance weren't good that they lost against Celta Vigo and Benfica with huge scores but PSG surprisingly has unable to scores which make they have to ended the match with draw result 0-0

Since the beginning of match PSG has been playing with their some of new players such as Škriniar and Asensio and they were slightly dominate the match but seems PSG players look difficult to score goals and wasted several attempts to scores goals and Luis Enrique should be evaluate this result because losing Mbappe and Neymar had a huge impact on PSG's game and it proven some of PSG strikers are still unable to adapt with Enrique strategy

Eddie Howe is very serious to preparing Newcastle squad and it proven from Newcastle behaviour for this summer that Newcastle was very active to bought some players and for new player i have been watching Sandro Tonali performance during pre season tour and in my opinion he was performing well and can adapt quickly with Eddie Howe strategy and regarding Newcastle chances in this competition i think they had good chances to qualified from group stage but indeed this task is quite hard because Newcastle will facing some of big teams from outsides England

And just like i said before because this is their first appearance after 20 years so UEFA didn't putting them into the favourite and Newcastle current status as underdog team but if we see from their performance last season which is very stable on Premier League then they have potention to make big teams get in trouble but some people predict because Newcastle is in the pot 3 then most likely they will be into hell group

Inter Milan still look for new goalkeeper that after there was no progress for Yann Sommer transfer then reported Inter Milan switched their target to Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez and it say Aston Villa confirmed they were receive the bid 15 millions for their goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez yesterday and Aston Villa was give their respond for Inter Milan bid recently that they had refuse that offer and Inter Milan hasn't give up yet and they were asking the price tag for Martinez but unfortunately Aston Villa didn't give the information regarding the price tag of this player and Martinez has a contract until 2027 and indeed since he was performing well with Argentina national team some of clubs has showing their interest to him but Aston Villa have no interest to sell Emiliano Martinez because they considers he is important player for Aston Villa

Conratulation for AC Milan that they were successfully to gets 7th recruitment recently this because Samuel Chukwueze has officially became an Milan player and for transfer fee Milan have to spend 28 millions plus ads on and Samuel Chukwueze will gets long term duration contract 5 years until 2028 and he will gets 4 million salary for each year compared to other new players Samuel Chukwueze price is quite expensive but i am not surprised because last season he was declared as the best African player in Laliga

On the other hand yesterday Milan has just through an their first pre season match but unfortunately they have to lost with slim scores against Real Madrid 3-2 and yesterday actually Milan has just starting the match with performing well because in the first half Milan have already to leading 2 goals but Real Madrid has just make epic comeback and scores 3 goals in the second half and Vinicius Jr is the man of the match

5 years contract with total salary 200 millions this is fantastic offers from Al-Nassr and maybe those who thinking about money will accept this offer but apparently Ousmane Dembele was not interested to moved to Al-Nassr because he want to stay at Barcelona for much longer and Ousmane Dembele is a good player and i have been notice everytime he was playing since the beginning of match Barcelona almost gets the positive results even Xavi always be considering his talent and everytime Dembele in the good fitness Xavi always be putting him into Barcelona starting lineup

Just like i said before that Ousmane Dembele is injured prone and since he joined to Barcelona Dembele could not play full for 1 season due to injury problems moreover he has 1 year remaining contract until season 2024 over and negotiations for a contract extension are also still no progress and Al-Nassr also are willing to pay according to Dembele release clause which is the price is not too high 50 millions but this is still not final decision for Dembele because possibly he will change his mind

Liverpool today got unsatisfactory results this is because they could only draw against German Bundesliga 2 club Greuther Fürth that playing with some of their key players such as Moh Salah, Mac Allister, Alexander-Arnold and Van Dijk Liverpool was dominate the match and Liverpool have already leading with the goal from Luis Diaz in the first half but everything was change in the second half that surprisingly Greuther Fürth can able to performing well because they can scores 4 goals and the match almost ended with 4-3 but Moh Salah can equalized and the final scores is 4-4 and Liverpool has through an 2 matches on pre season tour and they have conceded 6 goals from those matches and obviously their defensive lines is still not solid besides that losing Fabinho is greatly impacted to their game because Alexander-Arnold who played as holding midfielder still unable to displayed consistent performance

I was read this news too that PSG has been confirmed that they were receive the offers from Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal for Mbappe for 300 millions today and this is very fantastic bid which is never happend before and it's very interesting to know how Mbappe and PSG will respond to this offer whether he will accept that offer and Mbappe will playing at Al Hilal instead of Real Madrid or Mbappe will refuse it because he still want to playing at european club but Mbappe is very talented player and playing at Saudi Pro League will be a career downgrade for him so most likely he will reject that offer but for PSG this is good opportunity to sell Mbappe with expensive price because possibly this offer will come only once and rather than let him with free transfer next season maybe it's better to sell him immediately

Inzaghi confirmed will bring all of Inter Milan players which mean the key players such as Nicolo Barella, Hakan Calhanoglu and Lautaro Martinez will be played even so with their new players Juan Cuadrado and Yann-Aurel Bisseck most likely they will make their debut in this match but Inter Milan still have any problem for goalkeeper position because after Andre Onana leave Inter Milan haven't bought new players yet on that position and so far only Raffaele Di Gennaro is new goalkeeper but his quality still be questioned because before joining with Inter Di Gennaro only spend his time at Serie C teams

I haven't checked the odds yet but i am sure Inter Milan is the favourite because in the term of team quality obviously Inter Milan is much better than Al Nassr besides that Al Nassr have a problem with their consistency because after 2 pre season matches against European clubs Al Nassr were unable to performing well even they have poor defense because Al Nassr have already to conceded 9 goals from those matches so after seeing these records i think it's not difficult to Inter Milan to beat Al Nassr

Giving new contract is one way for Napoli to protect Osimhen from moving to a new club this summer and reported both representative still under negotiation for this contract but Osimhen objected for the contract proporsal which offered by Napoli this because his release clause in the new contract was very high because Napoli want Osimhen release clause price is more than 200 millions but Osimhen feel this is too high and he only want Napoli to putting release clause is only 100 millions but Napoli hasn't give up yet and they will still try to convince Osimhen to sign a contract extension

Chelsea and Manchester United are watching this situations and they will attempts to take the advantage of this problem that if Napoli unable to convince Osimhen to immediately sign a contract extension then not impossible he will left Napoli this summer and for sure Osimhen dreamed Premier League because he really want to playing at this competition

Marcel Sabitzer possibly will be joined to Dortmund this because Dortmund is really required new midfielder especially after Bellingham left and the latest is Mahmoud Dahoud who leave Dortmund to Brighton so Dortmund really want to bought more players on midfielder position to strengthen their squad and Dortmund thought Sabitzer is the right player for them and the good news for Dortmund is Bayern Munich are will not hold Sabitzer and they are willing to release him especially Tuchel have a plan will not used Sabitzer service again so that's why if there is good offers who came to them for Sabitzer transfer then Bayern will sell him immediately however previously after loan duration ended Manchester United will thinking to permanent Sabitzer but apparently it just a rumour because Manchester United don't have any plan to buy him
