Even though the new season hasn't started yet, I believe Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United have a big chance to be the favorites for the title. The main favorites are Manchester City, followed by Arsenal, but I doubt the other two teams I mentioned as well.
If Manchester City are really capable of winning the Premier League title next season, then it will be their 4th title in a row, too good to be true. But I also believe that some Premier League teams will try to stop Manchester City's dominance, even if it's difficult.
For now it is difficult for me to see Arsenal as a title contender yet. Because they are a quite young team and unpredictable as a result. Their run in the previous season was really pretty impressive. However they haven't been a consistent team at all about being this much competitive for the league title for years. Therefore we never know what can happen in this season. It is the truth that Arsenal have brought really good names this summer so far. But the team is just getting much younger and we can feel the lack of a leader in-season most probably. But no matter what I will be expecting them to be competitive for top 4 at least. |

Sevilla played the second half of the previous season much better than the first half. Because after Mendilibar's arrival everything started to change in the right direction for them. Honestly I wasn't expecting him to make an impact like this. Because he didn't have an experience with high level teams much in his manager career.
But he won the Europa League title with the Sevilla that weren't in a good condition before. In addition he saved the team from relegation by reaching safety in the standings. The board must be contented with his work a lot for now. But the expectation in the La Liga would be to competitive for top 4 this time for sure.

Imagining Norris at Ferrari could be really interesting. But it depends on whether Ferrari change themselves and become more competitive than this. Because currently they aren't in a title race and they are the 4th team in constructor standings. The car can be strengthened more than this but the important point is to deal with bad strategy issues the most.
If Leclerc and Sainz both leave at the same time then I wonder who Norris' teammate would be at Ferrari. Maybe the rumours about Albon would come true and we can see him there.

Im feeling doubtful with rudi garcia. We will not only seeing a slightly chance to the napoli but we will be seeing huge changes to happen with napoli. Rudi garcia is not a good coach in my opinion. He was not even able coaching al nassr properly. Im thinking about napoli will not able to defend its scudetto right now. The new coach shall become the main concern. It will be changing a lot in the playstyle of napoli next season. I saw how failed rudi garcia in bringing nasser into the top position of SPL.
He is gonna have tougher situation in the napoli caused by rudi gonna receive bigger pressure compared when he was still coaching al nassr. I think that i can't even agree with you in this case. The club's performance will be so different.
Can we expect the same thing delivered by spalletti from him? I dunno why napoli has not even hired world class coach in managing the club. I did believe napoli take the wrong step by hiring him
Honestly I think the opposite about Rudi Garcia. Because he has a really good history with Roma in the Serie A. He managed Roma for the whole 2013/2014 and 2014/2015 seasons. Roma finished both seasons at the second position being right behind Juventus. Maybe he didn't manage Al Nassr very well but we should think about this as well. Spalletti and Rudi Garcia use nearly the same formation and game plan as well. Thinking of Rudi Garcia's past with Roma here maybe he can be competitive with Napoli for the league title as well. Napoli should find a solid defender to fill Kim Min-jae's place too though and then they should be ready to go for another run. |

Well, the latest rumor, Bayern's Uli Hoeness : "Harry Kane has signaled very clearly that his decision has been made". If he keeps his promise, we will contact him. Spurs have to give up, we have to get Levy's asking price, as Romano quoted.
that means, the Bayern and Kane agreements have been established and it remains only to make an agreement with Tottenham for Kane. and considering some of the previous rumours, it seems likely that Bayern will sell several players including Mane and Sommer. interesting, let's just wait for the transfer saga for Harry Kane.
Yeah I have also written about Kane's most recent situation under another subject. Kane is really keen on joining Bayern Munich seemingly. It is all up to Levy's dropping this attitude and taking a step forward for this deal. I don't think keeping Kane or signing another decent striker would change much thing for Tottenham. They can't win titles already now. At least Levy can ease things for Kane to have his last years of his career with championships. This is too selfish of him but of course this is an industry from now on. |

I'm not a fan of Ten Hag at all, I know he is famous for the hard training he makes for the players and he is also famous for punishing players after they make mistakes, maybe this was the reason for Manchester United took better result after Ten Hag joined there, but still I can't forget the game they had against Liverpool in this season and Ten Hag had a bad performance there, maybe this is a good reason to say even Tenb Hag can make mistakes.
But still, he made a revolution after joining Manchester United.
That result against Liverpool was too unexpected while Liverpool were even struggling in the league games. I also can't forget about that one. However every team can have such humiliating results in their domestic league or a European tournament such as the Champions League etc.. The important point is to know how to collect yourselves after a loss like that. Looking at the achievement Manchester United got from that season they did a really good job. Sometimes it is better to be extra disciplined to bring success easier. Therefore I think Erik ten Hag does the right thing there. |

Aubameyang is rumoured to be brought by Marseille soon. As you know they have parted ways with Alexis Sanchez after the end of his contract. He made a really nice contribution with 14 goals as well. Him and Aubameyang are at the same age right now. However the problem is Aubameyang hasn't played at Chelsea regularly.
But he is an experienced good striker that he can start performing decently in a short time when he signs for Marseille. I think this news would make him happy as well. Because he must be really regretful for coming from Barcelona but he has nothing to do about it.

I think there will be no such thing as Mbappe to join a Saudi Arabian team already now. It just doesn't make sense at all. Even for money I mean as he is already making the highest amount of money among all the players in Europe and the gap is really wide between them. He must be just concentrated on how he can win more titles - especially the Champions League one.
Here at this point he would surely prefer to go to a team that are capable of winning the Champions League title. Real Madrid come to my mind directly at the top of this list as they are the leader in the rankings related to the number of titles by a big gap. Therefore sooner or later Mbappe would join Real Madrid.

Napoli are working on a contract extension for Osimhen. He has drawn the attention to himself quite much after his amazing performance in the previous season. But as his cost is going to be quite high for the other teams interested in signing him I don't know if any team would make an official offer. Napoli must be asking for at least 130 million euros.
His salary is nothing for a player like him now and this gives Napoli an advantage to convince him for an extension. I assume he would demand a couple of million euros rise in his salary and I would expect Napoli to accept that. As he has 2 years left there Napoli had better secure his future there.
Some rumors say Napoli will release Osimhen for 150 million or some other sources say Napoli wants 180 million, but it is unclear and unconfirmed because usually the media will exaggerate the news a little. Osimhen is an important player in the Napoli squad, especially when he was a player who contributed a lot to their title win last season. It's only natural that Napoli would want a high price for a player who has played well. Napoli seem to be between a rock and a hard place, I mean whether they want to sell him or keep him. Because if they sell it, they will benefit from the sale, but they will lose a player who has a bright future. On the other hand, if they keep him then they won't make a profit, but they will still have a very good player in the squad. Yeah there is such rumour as well. But how many teams would like to pay 150 million euros or over that price for Osimhen now? There are surely quite many teams that can afford him. However when it comes to the will to afford him I don't see that many teams. It is even said that the only interested team now is PSG to pay that much. PSG are working on Vlahovic deal behind the scenes as well though. If they decide to sign him instead then I will believe in Osimhen to stay at Napoli this summer surely. But in case he doesn't still extend his contract in this season and has one year left on his contract then Napoli will really have to sell him to not lose him without transfer fee. |

Manchester United have improved their performance quite much since Erik ten Hag took over. He started with finishing in top four and qualifying for the Champions League already. This is a really good start but the board and fans will expect more than this next season. Manchester United will need to be in a title challenge as soon as possible like in the old times.
The current squad is actually quite good for that goal but there is still some weakness. They really need a striker and goalkeeper signings now. Onana deal is nearly done though like I said before. But it is still ambiguous who they will go for when it comes to striker signing. I said Hojlund before but I haven't heard of any offer.
Manchester United team has improved very well under Erik Ten Hag and both the board and fans are happy about this. But then everyone wants more for Manchester United but I do not agree with you, the current squad cannot do anything more than they did last season if they do not make significant changes to the squad. Do you remember that at a time Manchester United would have been strong contenders of the English Premier League title if they got squad depth. They were reusing their squad like Arsenal and eventually caught up by fatigue. I have also stated that there is still some weakness in the squad. After improving the quality of all areas to an acceptable level they will be fully ready to fight for the Premier League title finally. Erik ten Hag already has strategies which work really well. As long as he has the kind of squad in his hands there is nothing stopping from fighting for the league title seriously. Fighting against Manchester City won't be easy at all. But maybe they can at least be the second strongest team of the league this season. Because we don't know if Arsenal can keep this level this season as well. They have a quite young squad which doesn't reassure high consistency over years. |

PSG are trying to intervene and sign Kane for themselves. The last offer made by Bayern Munich is said to be 80 million pounds. PSG can surely offer the same amount to join this race easily. But the thing is which team Kane would like to pick here. Both of them are top teams that just won the title of their domestic leagues and that are going to the Champions League as well.
Honestly the Bundesliga is a way more quality league than the Ligue 1. Technically Bayern Munich and PSG have both been dominating these leagues for a long time. But still the Bundesliga is seen as a way more competitive and quality one now. Besides I believe Kane would be the main target at Bayern Munich as well. I think he should go there.
If the choice is between PSG and Bayern Munich I think it would be better to choose Munich as you said more competitive but the problem is Bayern Munich don't want to pay 100 million they are only willing to pay 70 million even with 70 million it is considered expensive because Harry Kane is already 30 years old which means the price is not commensurate with its age. Tottenham as the party that gets the money, of course chooses PSG, but Kane prefers Munich he wants to get a title before retiring. Rummenigge is talking to the player regularly according to reports. Bayern Munich talk confident about the Kane deal to happen. They believe that they will reach an agreement with Levy and he will finally drop being too stubborn. They still wait for an asking price for Kane while they continue to make new offers. Levy tries to stay adamant in this and leave an impression like Kane won't be sold as the current offer is not even close to the level he wants. But until when can he maintain this attitude? Kane must have stated his intention to leave to join Bayern Munich already I assume. |

Atletico Madrid have been experiencing the same scenario for two seasons. They don't play very good until mid-season and after that they start to collect themselves. They start winning so many games which goes on until the end of the season. But this is still not enough for getting in a title competition.
Do you think the same thing will be happening this season as well? Honestly I think so. Because they are going to use completely the same system as Simeone is staying for another season. There isn't a substantial change in the squad either but the squad is actually quality enough to fight for the title. But as the system is going to be the same I think it will be a similar season in the La Liga. But maybe they can do better in the CL.

Sommer is also likely to join Inter this summer as they are about to lose Onana to Manchester United. Neuer got injured for a long time in the previous season. I'm curious about how good he will return to the game. He is 37 years old now yeah but he is still Neuer. Bayern Munich might not want to replace him now before seeing his performance next season.
However they can find a replacement for Sommer on one hand as he is likely to leave as I said. They had better find a player who doesn't care about being Neuer's substitute much. Because Sommer doesn't want this now.
It depends if Manuel Neuer will be getting to his full fitness back without any issue. I saw a report yesterday from skysport about the situation around Neuer and the Goalkeepers at Bayern Munich. And they say that he is not already ready for games and it will be taking more time for Manuel Neuer to getting back. But we will see who the first Keeper is when the season starts. There are quite many options at Bayern Munich actually when we check their squad. Let's say Sommer didn't leave then there are 4 goalkepeers available as alternatives to Neuer. One of them is a really young one and let's say we kept him outside. Ulreich, Nübel and Sommer are the ones left. If Neuer doesn't start playing right away then Bayern Munich can actually reassure Sommer about being the main goalkeeper here. In that case Sommer wouldn't leave and the problem would be solved. Otherwise Nübel can be a decent choice maybe until Neuer gets ready to play. |

As it is Ancelotti's last season at Real Madrid it is the same for Xavi as well for now. Barcelona board still might not be very convinced to extend Xavi's contract yet. But I understand that of course. Yeah maybe they won the La Liga title previously and put an end to the longing for the title for 3 seasons.
However this might still be not enough. The board must be waiting to see Xavi winning this title again and expecting some success in the Champions League at the same time. By saying success I mean going beyond the league stage at least. Because as you know they haven't been able to get past the group stage successfully in the old format recently.

Relatively this was going to be good deal for the AC Milan which are looking for the strength into their attack but right now situation is looking not good for them because few hours ago we have reports about his possible move to Manchester United as Erik ten Haq have good intention of bringing goal machine like this, so his agent is also already in England for the possible deal which is going to complete in coming days even things are favorable as 30 years old Mehdi Taremi could be Manchester United player in coming days
Porto is surely insisting about their demanded amount but Manchester United finances will be not allowing them to spent amount like this but still all things favoring for this deal could be completed, and he will join EPL instead of Serie A as they are also in not good shape for spending amount like we are having from English clubs for the strength of their squads.
Yeah Manchester United are also in need of a centre-forward now as there is only Martial left as natural player in this position. Rashford can also play there but not mainly. It is better to have Rashford on his wing and signing a reliable centre-forward instead. At this point Taremi could be a good choice for them as well though. He is a really solid scorer in the end. If the Red Devils and Milan enter the race for him both then I don't believe Taremi's choice would be Milan. Because he knows that he can play in the starting eleven at the Red Devils as well. They are a bigger and more capable team now so I would also support a move there. |

I don't see much impressive player being linked with Chelsea recently. I see only really young players being linked and it doesn't look like Chelsea have an aim to change the starting lineup much with new transfers for now. Actually Laporte and Dybala have also been rumoured players to join Chelsea.
But as I can see Dybala transfer is not happening as he wants to stay at Roma. Laporte still has 2 more years on his contract. However he couldn't play much in the previous season. We watched him in the Premier League in only 12 games. His market value is also only 25 million euros. Chelsea might be likely to sign him by not spending too much money I think if they push for him.

So far we have seen two free transfers by Bayern Munich side which has been their only activity. Konrad Laimer and Raphaël Guerreiro have joined the team in this way. But I must say that these are both really good additions to the team to have a bigger squad depth. But this won't be the only action they take of course.
A right-back and of course a centre-forward seem to be urgent for them to transfer. They have been interested in Kyle Walker for right-back position for a while and they are waiting on the player's decision. He still has one more year left on his contract but we will see. For striker transfer you already know that their priority is Kane. Apart from that Julian Alvarez is also rumoured.
I think the first priority for Bayern Munich is not hiring a good forward and goalkeeper to have alternative for Neuer because he is getting old, as forward they are waiting for Tottenham and Harry Kane because they know the first and best forward they can target is is currently Kane however I think Bayern Munich got some alternative options for Kane. Sommer is also likely to join Inter this summer as they are about to lose Onana to Manchester United. Neuer got injured for a long time in the previous season. I'm curious about how good he will return to the game. He is 37 years old now yeah but he is still Neuer. Bayern Munich might not want to replace him now before seeing his performance next season. However they can find a replacement for Sommer on one hand as he is likely to leave as I said. They had better find a player who doesn't care about being Neuer's substitute much.
