Matthijs de Ligt's situation is still ambiguous right now. Juventus are trying to be hopeful about keeping de Ligt in the team but there are still likely offers from Bayern Munich and Chelsea in the coming days. Actually Chelsea are interested in Ake at the same time as I said before in another thread. However if they fail then they would increase their attempts for de Ligt. Bayern Munich might be able to steal him from Chelsea too. Because I believe they also need a solid defender now beside Upamecano.

Something is wrong with Cloud9 these days. Because after winning the IEM Dallas tournament their performance started to go down significantly. I wonder what the reason behind this is. Here in this tournament, firstly they were defeated by Astralis 2-0 and they are under the danger of losing the lower semi-finals game too now. Team Liquid is already 1-0 ahead and we are on Vertigo. This is Cloud9's map pick and their success rate is 80% (on 5 maps) here. I'm favouring them to win this map but it is doubtful if they can make it to next round.

The qualifying session was really nice to watch for me. I regret to say that Hamilton and Russell had a bad day but both of them are still in a little profit now. Because Perez's best lap in Q2 and all laps in Q3 have been removed and he went down to the 13th place in the grid. Especially Russell is still going to start in the 4th place even though he crashed into a wall and left the session early. Verstappen and Leclerc competed very well against each other and Verstappen is starting from the 1st place today in the sprint race. I think we will see a really good competition again in this race and Leclerc might even take the pole too.

Galatasaray'ın toparlanması kolay olmayabilir evet ama yine de ligin en büyük takımlarından birisi olduğu için her şeye hazırlıklı olmak lazım. Şimdilik transfer hamlelerini gerçekleştirme aşamasındalar ve doğru hamleler yapacaklar mı hep birlikte göreceğiz. Artem Dzyuba forvet olarak düşünülen isimlerden birisiydi ve duyduğum kadarıyla imza atmak için getirildi de. Dzyuba bence iyi bir forvet. 33 yaşında olsa da önemli olan adapte olup sağlam oynaması. Gomis de geldiğinde kaç yaşındaydı ama yine sağlam katkı verdi.

Among European teams, my favourite team are France for now. Maybe we didn't watch them solid in the Nations League but it wasn't surprising. Because that tournament is seen by no more than a preparation chance for the World Cup for many big teams. France must be keeping their real strength for the World Cup. They didn't want any of their main players to get a serious injury also in the Nations League as they didn't have their full main lineup there mostly too.

It is very good for Gabriel Jesus. I'm aware that friendlies don't show the reality all the time but this still shows that he is passionate already now. If he goes on like this and make a good start to new season too then Arsenal can be a team that are hard to stop by many teams. Because Arsenal were struggling in unexpected matches in the previous season because of wasting too many goal opportunities. But now they have Gabriel Jesus to take advantage of them.

Chelsea might have changed their direction about a defender transfer from de Ligt to Ake now. Because there are some recent rumours like they have made a significant progress about signing Ake. This would still be a good transfer for Chelsea if they don't manage to bring de Ligt. Because Ake is also a reliable defender and his current value is like one third of de Ligt's now. Besides Juventus might be waiting for Chelsea to pay de Ligt's release clause to be able to sign him too.

Kendi aleyhine sağlam kanıtlar ortada mevcutken nasıl oluyor da Kadir Şeker tutuksuz yargılanabiliyor anlam veremiyorum. Başta verilen cezanın az bile olduğunu düşünüyordum ama böyle bir karar çıkacağı asla aklıma gelmezdi. Düşünsenize ne olursa olsun en başta siz bir insan öldürüyorsunuz ve hiçbir ceza almadan sıyrılıyorsunuz. Hukuk sisteminin geldiği nokta gerçekten bu olmamalı. Son yıllarda neler neler yapıp bir şekilde az cezayla paçayı kurtaranları görüyorduk ve bu da onların arasına girmiş oldu.

I also agree that Neymar won't leave the team by the arrival of new manager. Galtier doesn't want him out of the team already. PSG need all their greatest stars like Mbappe, Messi and Neymar to be able to achieve the Champions League title. I don't say any thing about the Ligue 1 as I see them as the champions of next season as well. PSG will need better strategies to become the champions in the Champions League as well. I don't know if Galtier is capable enough to do this but we will find out.

The transfer fee wouldn't be a big deal at all for Chelsea now. Because they have so much money to spend in their transfer budget at the moment. The salary topic could be a little problem to think over for Chelsea. They wouldn't struggle to pay of course but they would assess the situation whether it's worth to pay that much money per week to Ronaldo. This claimed amount is much lower than his current salary too actually. He is earning 510,000 pounds per week now.

Hiçbir alakası olmadığı halde doktora sen benim bilmem neyimi öldürdün diye saldırmanın canilikle hiçbir farkı yoktur. Böylelerinin toplumumuzda bizlerin arasında dolaştığı aklıma geldikçe sinirlerim bozuluyor. Doktorlar bu olay sonrası 2 günlüğüne eylem gerçekleştirme kararı aldı sanırım iş bırakarak. Bugün başlamış olması lazım. Bu eylemlerin ne kadar sonuç vereceği muamma bence değişen bir şey olmayacak. Düzgün bir sağlık sistemi oturtulmadığı sürece doktorlar şiddet görmeye ya da katledilmeye devam edecekler. Sonra da derler ki bu doktorlar neden ülkeden gitmek istiyor.

Chelsea are expected to make an offer worth 38 million pounds for Matheus Nunes. He is a young talent for Sporting who is playing in the central midfield position. He played in so many matches last season so he is a regular for the team now. I think it can be difficult for Chelsea to sign him now. This offer is not good enough in the first place. I don't expect Sporting to accept a value that is only a few millions above his current value in the market.

We are in another race week right now. The next station is the Austria GP. This time we have a sprint race also which is very important for especially the championship contenders. Leclerc had a really bad race last week because of Ferrari team. Their bad decisions caused him to be even out of the podium. They just did everything they can to make Sainz win the race instead of Leclerc. When one of your drivers is close to the championship race you should prioritize him in critical moments. I hope they don't mess up things again this week.

Kim Min-jae şu an Fenerbahçe'den ayrılma yolunda ilerliyor. Rennes takımının 18 milyon euroluk serbest kalma bedelini ödemeye hazır olduğunu okudum. Fakat bu bedeli taksitlendirmek istiyorlarmış ve Fenerbahçe de tamamını nakit olarak istemiş. Taksit detaylarını bilmediğim için bir şey diyemiyorum ama bence Rennes yine de geri çekilmez. Fenerbahçe şimdiden onun yerini doldurabilecek bir stoper baksa yararına olur. Geçen sezonki performansıyla göz doldurdu ve yerini doldurmak da kolay olmaz.

Newcastle seem like they have an interest to sign Callum Hudson-Odoi and Anthony Gordon both. However their main target now is Moussa Diaby. I understand why Diaby is their priority now of course because his performance last season was way better than the other two alternatives both. On the other hand Diaby has the biggest market value of 60 million euros also. As he still has three more years on his contract too it might be more difficult for them to sign him.

It looks like the Eriksen deal is done for Manchester United.  

Verbal agreement has been completed and the deal is for three years. This is a sensible deal for Manchester United too as they have increased the alternatives for the attacking midfield role. Bruno Fernandes and Eriksen are the options in the team now. Eriksen might even play as a left winger too sometimes but I don't expect Erik ten Hag to prefer him there. Bruno Fernandes has a rival for his position in the lineup now so he would work even harder now which would be helpful for the team a lot.

Beşiktaş forvet mevkisi için Wout Weghorst ile anlaşmış gibi gözüküyor. Oyuncunun bu gece 23.30'da İstanbul'a gelmesi bekleniyor. Transfer ihtimalinin bulunduğunu ancak çok büyük bir olasılık olmadığını biliyordum ama Beşiktaş çoktan işi bitirmiş bile. Wolfsburg ve AZ Alkmaar gibi takımlarda performansıyla ve istatistikleriyle dikkat çeken bir forvet kendisi. Geçen sezon Burnley'de oynadı ama bekleneni veremedi. Bunun sebebi adaptasyon da olabilir tabi. 29 yaşında yetenekli bir forvet olduğunu düşünüyorum.

I don't think that Ronaldo would like to return to Sporting for now. He wants to play in the Champions League maybe but this doesn't mean that he would be eager to join any team that have qualified for it. He would prefer playing for a bigger team than Sporting. There are a couple of teams on the line for him and we will see what happens in the coming days. Ronaldo must be still thinking about leaving the team as he didn't join the first pre-season training for Manchester United.

Everything happened so quick in the Franck Kessie deal. I've just seen that Barcelona have signed him on a free transfer. His contract is going to last four years. This is one of the most profitable and plausible deals for Barcelona. Kessie is a great midfielder and he is at the same age with Frenkie de Jong too. This started making me think about whether they are preparing to sell Frenkie de Jong. Maybe they just wanted to guarantee themselves against his probable departure.

Napoli have an interest in Ronaldo according to the source below:

https://theathletic.com/news/cristiano-ronaldo-manchester-united-transfer/mcRLqZDo8fXJ/

However I am still believing that Ronaldo will stay at Manchester United at the end of the day. He is speculated to be unhappy currently but I guess that he hasn't made an official statement about this. Fabrizio Romano tweeted about this topic like he wanted to leave but I still want to hear it from Ronaldo to make sure. If he is really going then Napoli can try their luck with signing him. His priority must be a team that are a qualifier for the Champions League then.
