I don't think Real Madrid will continue to have that much problem in the La Liga this season as well. Every big team have this kind of seasons in which they can't be competitive enough for the league title. I will be expecting Real Madrid to pull themselves together and be better this time. They are even on the verge of bringing Mbappe to the team. In case he comes here this summer Barcelona had better be ready for an extra challenging season against Real Madrid.  I don't think Mbappe would have any issues with adaptation here. Both team like to play a fast game and Vinicius - Mbappe can be a great duo in the attacking line after Benzema has left. |

Mane's name is called with only Saudi Arabian teams as I can see from the rumours. I don't see any European team being interested in him. I don't know maybe this is due to his statement before. He was thinking of going to a Muslim country after he leaves Bayern Munich. This is the kind of an opportunity he would like to take right now actually.
He still has 2 more years on his current contract. If I were him I would have stayed until the end of my contract and then join a Saudi Arabia team. I think it is still early for him while he is still performing decently. He can still win championships in Europe until then.

I wonder how things have changed this much about Joao Felix for Atletico Madrid. Not a long time ago Simeone didn't seem to be a fan of him. Atletico Madrid were even thinking of selling him for around 50 million euros as far as I can remember. But now the situation is the opposite. Now he has become a more indispensable player for his team.
According to news Atletico Madrid even want 100 million euros for him to think of selling him to any team. PSG have been the rumoured team with him recently. But after hearing about the price I don't know whether they would be keen on signing him that much. Maybe a loan option would be okay depending on Atletico Madrid's plans for him.

Probably Milan will gets new striker this summer because Atletico Madrid player Alvaro Morata has spoke with his agent that he want to leave Atletico Madrid and it say if he is willing to join Milan then Pioli will provide more opportunities to play even most likely will make him a main player if he is able to show good performance and apparently Morata is tempted to play at there even the latest news is that he is willing to lower his salary if he moves to Milan and in the near future Milan will starting to bid him with 12 million and they hope Atletico Madrid will accept this offers however last time i heard Morata was linked to Arabian club Al Taawon it say this team want him and they dare to pay 50 millions per year for his salary and apparently Morata doesn't interested big money and he is more likely want to spend his career at european club
Joao Felix is back at Atletico Madrid now. Therefore there is going to be a bigger competition for earning the centre-forward position in the team. Morata must be wishing to leave because of that too maybe. Because after the loanees returned to the team there are quite many strikers available at Atletico Madrid now. On the other hand Milan are in search of a striker for next season. Because they can't rely on Giroud anymore and Origi isn't promising either. Milan should keep their productivity high to be able to fight for the league title again. Morata could be a quite nice addition to the team in terms of that. He can be beneficial with goals and assists both. |

This is an important season for Xavi. He has finally made a good progress with Barcelona and won the La Liga title. This is a great point to start from. However it isn't enough to be an indispensable manager for Barcelona. He will need to maintain this success in the league first of all. Because their rivalry with Real Madrid in the league is really important.
Meanwhile they need to focus on the Champions League more this time. The previous season didn't end up well for them here at all. It has been the same for two seasons actually. Xavi will be expected to make improvement without excuses. If we see the same poor effort from them then Xavi's seat might also start to be under threat slowly in case they don't continue to win La Liga titles on one hand.

Rain is expected for one week at least as far as I see from the weather report. It looks like we can have some extra fun with rain in the race. Honestly this is one of the tracks that I like to watch under dry conditions. Because most of the impressive attacks on this track have been made while it has been dry. But rain can still make races more interesting no matter what track it is.
Maybe this is an opportunity to take advantage of for Mercedes as well. If they get prepared for these conditions well they can turn it into an advantage and at least one of their drivers can make it to podium. That driver would most probably be Hamilton. He was on podium in the previous British GP but Verstappen had serious difficulties and couldn't finish in a proper place. Now Hamilton's job will be extra difficult unless Verstappen has a problematic weekend.

Of course, the Paris Saint-Germain management believes in Luis Enrique much more than in Galtier. As far as I know, initially Zinedine Zidane was considered the favorite for this post, and only failure in negotiations with him led to the option with Galtier. By the way, I think that if PSG managed to persuade Zidane to lead the club, Mbappe would be happy to extend his contract with the club. There were rumors that Mbappe was almost promised the arrival of Zidane and the player was very disappointed in the end.
Did negotiations with Zidane fail or did he turn down an offer before they could even send him one? I think he never really showed any interest in becoming the coach of PSG. As for Galtier, I think many reasons now played a role in their decision and it became even easier when he was now confronted with the allegations concerning racism. But I guess they would have fired him either way and negotiations with Enrique were underway for a while already. But let's see what Enrique can even do now with that team. Winning Ligue 1 with PSG is easier than winning La Liga with Barcelona as their is at least Real Madrid that has to be beaten. According to my knowledge there was never even a negotiation with Zidane so far. At least they could have tried and got their answer officially. I know that they have been interested in France job but it isn't likely to happen at least until the end of Euro 2024. Deschamps hasn't been very unsuccessful so the board must be wishing to see him in Euro 2024 as well. But after that maybe Zidane might have a chance. It looks like Zidane is okay for waiting for a year to see what his future will be about that. Anyway maybe some time in the future he would manage PSG but it won't happen in the near future as it seems. |

Rasmus Hojlund seems to be a target for Manchester United. They are said to be preparing an offer worth around 58 million euros. His market value is 45 million now so this offer might be really tempting for Atalanta. They brought him from Sturm Graz for only 17 million. This would be a really profitable deal for Atalanta side.
He is a promising centre-forward surely. But do Manchester United really prefer a very young striker to an experienced one like Kane now? Because even though Bayern Munich have made offer for Kane the Red Devils can still capture the advantage by intervening thinking of Kane's will to stay in England maybe.

Onana deal should be completed for approximately 55 million euros for Manchester United. They offered 50 million and Inter still wanted 60 million. They should be able to reach an agreement right in the middle of these offers hopefully. The Red Devils had better act quick about completing the goalkeeper transfer after De Gea's departure.
They are lucky that they were able to find their target in a short time. Onana impressed people by good performances for a while. I liked to watch him in the Champions League as well. I believe he is really among the goalkeeper candidates who can fill De Gea's place strongly.
But to get Onana I think Man United need to be braver to increase their offer. Because at this time Inter Milan does not seem to be in a hurry to sell Onana. because even Inter Milan itself actually still needs Onana. So that Inter Milan at this time is like saying "60 million euros or nothing". Because Inter Milan also knows the problems that are being experienced by Man United, who really need a new goalkeeper after the departure of David De Gea. So Inter Milan will definitely maintain that price. and wait until Man United agrees. But Man United actually saw that the price offered by Inter Milan was quite reasonable. it's just that the remaining spending budget for the Man United club is currently only a few. and the Man United club actually still has to buy other players besides the goalkeeper. And this is what makes it difficult for Man United to make a higher offer. Even if Inter don't drop down from 60 million euros I don't think Manchester United will back down from the deal. Because Onana might really be the best option available in the transfer market now. They can't sign a random goalkeeper after having a wonderful one for 12 years like De Gea. They should be able to keep their defending reliable for bigger successes. Manchester United will have already spent around 120 million euros for Mount and Onana. But I don't think they will stop right there. They need to make an addition to the attacking line as well. A top striker transfer such as Kane would be really amazing for them to play bigger. |

Roma will aim to finish next season in top 4 just as they were aiming the same for the previous season. They couldn't make progress in the Serie A the last time. People were talking about the possibility of Mourinho's leaving but he is staying now. He indeed even turned down a huge offer from Saudi Arabia.
He has one last year left on his contract and Roma's performance will be very important for him to decide his fate. If Roma don't make it to top 4 once again then I don't think the board would like to continue with him. But let's say they won the Europa League title then he can increase the probability of staying.

Jonathan David has started to be rumoured with Real Madrid recently. He is a really young and talented centre-forward. His performance at Lille this season was really impressive with 24 goals in 37 matches in the Ligue 1. His market value is 60 million euros though and Real Madrid might have to spend quite a big amount of money.
Because I don't think Lille would like to let go of him for a cheap price. But do Real Madrid really want him now? Because it looks like there is still a possibility for signing Mbappe this summer. They are still waiting patiently before making a transfer for the centre-forward position.
Jonathan David is indeed a talented young player and it seems that Ancelotti also sees this young player still has the potential for better improvement in the future. So it's not surprising that Real Madrid will start approaching Jonathan David if they fail to bring in Mbappe this season. But for now I still believe that Real Madrid have not given up on Mbappe. But if it still fails, then actually getting Jonathan David is also a good option. it's just that in my opinion this player will need more adaptation time until he can display his best game. There is still some hope about a deal between Real Madrid and PSG for Mbappe this summer. Because the most recent rumours say that Real Madrid have agreed terms with Mbappe on his contract. If this is true then maybe we might even see a big announcement in the near future. It is quite possible to hear about after the recent problems between Mbappe and PSG. PSG are already okay to sell him as he isn't keen on extending his contract. According to some news PSG want 200 million euros for him. If Real Madrid want to start a much stronger era I think they should sign him this summer instead of waiting for at least 6 months. |

When it comes to Hazard I don't think there will be a "resurrection time" for him in the future. Especially if he is going to Inter Miami this summer. Because the players going there aren't going with the aim of showing the same ambition they have had in their career in Europe. They are just going to have a rest and play decently when they are in the mood.
I don't expect Messi to show a very consistent and amazing performance in the MLS either for example. Therefore I don't expect Hazard to be much different than that in case of going there. But it is still better than staying at Real Madrid for him. Because he isn't a wanted man here anymore.

I also think he can actually adapt to Bayern Munich if he prefers them to Manchester United. If he is going to make a big change in his career it should be a wise move. Bayern Munich technically have more potential to win titles from now on. I don't think the same for the Red Devils. I mean they won the EFL Cup title this season but this is the only title they managed to win for many years.
Bayern Munich are the opposite of them. In the end Kane would leave on the condition to join a winner team. He couldn't win any title with Tottenham so far. Therefore I believe Bayern Munich is going to be the best choice for the rest of his career.
Uniquely, now Spurs are rumored to be offering a money deal to Kane. according to Guardian journalist David Hytner, Tottenham have made a huge new contract offer to Kane which would significantly increase his £200,000-a-week requirement. this was done, in order to lock in Kane so that Spurs would not lose the player as a free agent in the upcoming summer transfer window. there is an interesting drama, at this time Levy is adamant not to sell Kane if it does not match their desired price tag of £ 100 million. In contrast, the German giants have seen their first bid rejected by Spurs. however, Bayern are reportedly ready to make a better bid, believed to be in the region of £80 million, this week. well, as I said before that there will be tough negotiations between Bayern and Spurs. Spurs don't want to sell, but on the other hand they will lose the player for the rest of his contract. ideally, Bayern should push Harry Kane to leave Spurs. if Kane no longer wants to stay with Spurs, in the end, like it or not, Spurs have to let him go. however, we'll just have to wait and see how it goes regarding Kane's development. if, in the end Kane chose to stay in the Premier League. I'm pretty sure Tuchel has other options they will bring in instead. in essence, Bayern needs a pure striker as a team need to welcome the 2023/2024 season. Of course, I think the same that Bayern Munich must have other options on the table already. One of these options must be Osimhen in my opinion. Because after seeing them going after Kane it feels like they are determined to make a top signing instead of cheaper alternatives. By saying cheaper I mean Vlahovic for example. However his talent is still admirable. If they go for Osimhen they need to have it in mind that his cost would be way bigger than Kane's to them. In this situation one can say that they can sign Kane for a lower amount. It is time to make a decision for Bayern Munich between going for an experienced top striker and a young version of such striker. For now they are going for the experienced one. |

Uefa Champions League Facebook page had put a post yesterday regarding Mason Mount which will keep a legendary number 7 for Manchester United and from the names I saw there like Ronaldo,Valencia,Owen,Cavani and a couple others looks like this guy is the weakest from all of these names,well at least in theory,in practice I have to wait and see how much Manchester United will improve thanks to this player,for me he is a brilliant player and I hope to see huge improvement from Manchester United during the upcoming Premier League season.
Some people say that number is not important in football. But I don't think the same honestly. Because there are some really special numbers who are known with legends. 7 is really one of these numbers. Mount will carry a really big number on the back of his shirt and hopefully he can show a solid performance with it at Manchester United as well. He hasn't had a good time period at Chelsea in the recent times. Chelsea didn't even want to extend his contract with the conditions he asked for. This might be the opportunity for Mount to shine again. I expect him to have an enough playing time to show his skills. |

Honestly I think Inter shouldn't sign Lukaku back while he is this much bad. He is longer the Lukaku we know. His past performances in the previous seasons with Inter were much better than this. He was like a goal machine together with Lautaro Martinez. But now that performance is long gone. At least this season showed this to us.
I see him performing really well only at his national team. He continues to score many goals there. As long as he doesn't improve his finishing skills again I don't see a move to Inter as sensible for him. But if he can promise to work harder from now on then Inter can give him a second chance.

Harry Kane has been in England during his whole career. Therefore it isn't easy to make very comfortable assumptions about whether he would be this much productive at Bayern Munich. Maybe his priority is still an English team. We can understand this if another English team make an offer for him. That team is likely to be Manchester United.
In a race between the Red Devils and Bayern Munich things can get really interesting. Bayern Munich technically look more attracting to big players due to the success rate. However we see some special cases like this as well. If Kane decides to prioritize the Premier League and these teams offer the same conditions Bayern Munich had better look for someone else.
Rumors surrounding Harry Kane have become a hot topic of conversation in recent weeks. So far only Bayern Munich have made the first move for Kane, given their €70m opening bid was swiftly rejected. however Bayern have not given up on it, it is rumored the German giants are now preparing a much better offer for Kane. as a result, Bayern are reportedly confident they can persuade Spurs to sell him. several other sources reported, rumors United are still interested in this Spurs striker. it's just that what makes me confused, how do they get the funds to bring Kane to Old Trafford, aren't they constrained by financial problems to spend on players. So, in theory Bayern has a bigger probability than United. Referring to what you're saying, it's very interesting to remember that Kane has been in England for his entire career. in fact, this is the door for Kane to prove that he is a striker who deserves to play in any league. with his status as a center forward, he should be able to adapt to the Bayern squad if he later joins. Apart from that, Tuchel really wanted Kane's services to fill the vacant position after Lewandowski left. let's wait, whether the Spurs will release the striker. I also think he can actually adapt to Bayern Munich if he prefers them to Manchester United. If he is going to make a big change in his career it should be a wise move. Bayern Munich technically have more potential to win titles from now on. I don't think the same for the Red Devils. I mean they won the EFL Cup title this season but this is the only title they managed to win for many years. Bayern Munich are the opposite of them. In the end Kane would leave on the condition to join a winner team. He couldn't win any title with Tottenham so far. Therefore I believe Bayern Munich is going to be the best choice for the rest of his career. |

Maybe PSG believe in Enrique more than Galtier as they have signed a two-year contract with him. But in case of having a similar season I don't know how PSG chairman would react to that. One thing is certain that Enrique will need to take his time until applying his strategies and formation without any difficulties.
Because he will bring a much more different approach here. PSG have been playing a really fast game so far but now that is likely to change. Enrique might want to have a similar understading with PSG just as he had at Barcelona in those successful years.

Of there is no need to have the best squad among European teams to become champions in the Champions League for example. There is a great example in the 2020/2021 season as Chelsea made it to the title just like that. Having a solid manager always helps you get ahead of others. But it is still very important to have a reliable lineup as much as possible.
After a good relationship between a solid manager and a squad full of skilled players there is no reason not to be very competitive for the Champions League title. PSG have brought a winner manager in the Champions League like Luis Enrique. Maybe the only team he did this with were Barcelona. But maybe he can do the same with PSG as well.
