It is important to understand that Sommer to Inter can only happen if Onana moves to United. Right now things are still in motion with Onana->United so it is difficult to say things for certain. Neuer return can really affect Sommer's chances so he needs to move. He can still move to other clubs, there should be some club monitoring this situation and will probably approach Bayern for Sommer.
Well they bought him not long ago and even with Noyer coming back i dont think he will go into first squad instantly. But still two quality goalkeepers is to much so i think that someone might leave in this transfer window but still a lot to go. Whoever stays on goal is good He was bought to replace injured Neuer otherwise they had no requirement of getting a goalkeeper when they had world class goalkeeper like Neuer in the squad. Now that he is back, Sommer definitely has to go. I think Bayern also will be looking for Sommer solution. And, Bayern had included a release clause equal to what they paid for Sommer so naturally they want to make it easy for interested clubs who are gonna buy. Bayern just want to get back what they paid for Sommer an year ago. |

Manuel Neuer will certainly be in the goal at Bayern Munich in the next season. So the question is, what will happen to Yann Sommer? There are now reports that Inter Milan have started talks with Sommer. Manchester United are said to be interested in the Inter Milan goalkeeper Onana. Should Onana move to Manchester, it would be a good opportunity for Sommer.
Sommer is already 34 years old. I believe he should move now if he wants to. I don’t think it will be a very good active season for him if he does decide to stay in Bayern Munich. Manuel Neuer is going to be the main goalkeeper of Bayern Munich. Inter Milan is looking for a goalkeeper because Onana is going to leave Inter. So I think Inter can actually try to get him. I don’t think him being 34 is going to cause too much problems. Just because he is a goalkeeper. It is important to understand that Sommer to Inter can only happen if Onana moves to United. Right now things are still in motion with Onana->United so it is difficult to say things for certain. Neuer return can really affect Sommer's chances so he needs to move. He can still move to other clubs, there should be some club monitoring this situation and will probably approach Bayern for Sommer. |

Chelsea's management should be a little patient and give time to every coach they bring to their team, not immediately fire them when the team doesn't get good results. Next season everyone will see how Pochettino coaches the Chelsea team by applying the experience and method he already has at the moment, although Pochettino will have to change several players. And make old players better so that Chelsea can regain its achievements which were left far behind last season.
Exactly, nowadays most of the clubs run out of patience and sack their managers. Not sure what their expectations are but they are sure forgetting the fact that such changes always needs time to settle on and bring clubs performance to a strong level. I always thought Tuchel was a fine manager and could have brought club to a good level but some serious of difference in new owner and manager's opinion made it part ways with Tuchel. Now all the players are leaving who won CL with Chelsea- what's next now? There is something going on with Chelsea and if you ask me about Chelsea's situation it's a clean slate or let's say Chelsea starting from scratch. For Pochettino it's very difficult as he has to develop these new players mentality, trust, relationship, tactics and everything from scratch. I would say it's very difficult for Chelsea to be top 4 in this upcoming season but if they had made it in the end then hats off to Pochettino and Chelsea management for making the right decision and doing so much work. |

What is going on!? Inter Miami is rumored to be interested in bringing in several European star players this summer. Of course, this player's age is considered to be retiring, but for Suarez, Alba and Iniesta this is a moment to reunite with Lionel Messi. On the other hand, there are the names of two former Real Madrid players, namely Sergio Ramos and Eden Hazard, who are also rumored to be with the MLS team. All of these players are free agents except for Suarez and what makes me can't stop thinking how much money Inter Miami will spend to pay for all of these players each season.
Seems like MLS is also on the move like Saudi's  . Anyway after securing Lionel Messi, I don't think they will have much capability to sign most of them. I have also seen transfermarkt rumours go wrong many times so I am sure out of these only 1 or 2 will happen. If I recall properly, I think I have seen about their interest in Alba, Suarez and I think they are doing about it internally and in a discreet manner. With Suarez , Inter Miami president said " ...Luis Suarez has a contract and a release clause. I don't know if that will happen or not” [1] - So it does seems like Inter Miami are having some second thoughts there but they for sure were interested or still are.

But in this season I think they are going to go for all. Because they are the winner of the Champions League and also the English Premier League as well. They will certainly try their best to defend. And I am not sure if they are going to defend both of the titles successfully. But I am confident that they will be able to win at least one.
They have won PL 5 times in last 6 seasons so it's not a big task for them. They right now will sure target to win CL again because that is something that they haven't won until last season and how crazy will it be to start winning CL on a consecutive run. PL is easy for them as it needs a consistent run but since CL has knockout stages, it makes things much more difficult so for City it will be a real challenge this season. I am also not confident if they will win it but from my view I think they really have a good squad and will definitely go deep into the knockout stages of CL again this upcoming season. |

Granit Xhaka, who is a former Arsenal player, is now in Germany to complete a deal with Leverkusen. Reportedly not only signed a contract with Leverkusen, but at the same time to carry out a medical test as a condition for moving to the new German club.
The transfer fee is around 25 million euros and in my opinion that is quite a fair price for a Granit Xhaka who has so much experience in an English league club. His contract with Leverkusen will last until 2028 and it is a long-term contract that Granit Xhaka will sign to be part of the Leverkusen squad from next season.
Heartbreaking for us as a Gunner but have huge respects for him. He definitely was a great player for us. He saw some difficult times but he finished off his career at Arsenal way too strong. Wished he had stayed longer at Arsenal but guess he wants a different challenge now. Bayer Leverkusen is getting a very strong defensive midfielder who can attack well also. They really do need a strong midfielder and hopefully Xhaka is what they were looking for exactly. 25m is really a good buy for Leverkusen given his experience and how strong he is. A very good buy for Leverkusen in my opinion. |

I was surprise to see Arsenal performance reduce when they season was about to end, at the end of the season which they are suppose to put more effort, that was when their performance started reducing, but everyone knows the problem which Arsenal had, they over used their players but am sure their coach will solve the problem before the beginning of next season. Let’s be honest Arsenal ending the season in second position is a great achievement for them, we know it’s really annoying that they wasted the opportunity which they had, they shouldn’t have allow Manchester City win the league, but let’s just see what will happen next season, let’s hope their performance will get better next season.
It was mostly injuries which took us bit in the end. Our players were not 100% fit and ready for some of the matches. It was tough for us but we did the best we could. Yeah an opportunity gone but we got what we targeted for- top 4 finish. Going against City isn't an easy task for title race. We all know how good City's squad is and how consistent they are. You can't expect City to drop points in PL so I would say Arsenal has to come up to that level where they are as consistent as City first. We are on to that road but hope that we get to it soon. |

Update: Andre Onana transfers to Manchester United Source: https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1676960627796082695Currently Manchester United has made its third offer for Inter with details of 45 million euros plus add ons of 5 million euros and it seems that this offer is still below the desired cost by Inter of around 60 million euros. I think Manchester United have done the right thing with their latest offer and it is possible that if Manchester United insists then the costs will be covered in a total of 55 million euros. Inter should be able to consider this big offer from Manchester United because at this time they also need funds to add new players in various positions and considering that currently the only club interested in Andre Onana is Manchester United, I think they must immediately terminate the contract agreement with Manchester United because if too long it is likely that Manchester United will go find another goalkeeper. Classic United  They always start far below the club values the player. Still I do agree 60m is a bit much for a goalkeeper though. Best thing that they have done is to get Onana to agree on personal terms [1] which at some point might be a way to make pressure on Inter Milan (like Mount did on Chelsea). I think if things drag on for too long, United might go for extension of contract of De Gea as I don't see any other goalkeeper that is reported to be in their list. Inter are trying to make most of it if you ask me. I think they will accept around 50-55m fixed. 45m + 5 is not bad though but like I said Inter think they can get more out of United still. United have just started on Onana and Inter knows United when interested in a player drag negotiations a lot. Once United makes a bid and makes it as a final one to Inter for Onana, I think Inter gonna accept it.

Mason mount has been out of form lately while he was still at Chelsea. I just hope he overturn and become a great player who had a dream as he has always been in his new club. ETH is an experienced couch who knows how make use of the available players and I trust he will bring the best out of MM.
I would say it was lack of chances and all the rotating players that kinda lose Mount his form. I still think Mount is a great buy for United but where he will play, I mean position in the lineup is a big question to me. Now they have spent 60m Euro on the player then that definitely means that they were really serious about the player so I am kinda curious on how ten Haag will use him. His role and his position needs to be right in order to squeeze best out of him. |

 Yeah the new roster has finally been built.  I think this change was really needed for NaVi. Because they have been on the decline in rankings due to having unsuccessful tournaments for a while. They were once the leader in rankings and near unstoppable as well. But the same old relationship between the players was gone for a while. They were in search of a good IGL for a long time as they couldn't find the right one. And they finally created a solution by making even a bigger change. I can't wait to see this roster in a big official tournament. We can watch NaVi's resurrection hopefully. I think things fall apart for Navi when boombl4 was forced to leave Navi when some kind of controversy happened with his wife and Navi had to part ways with boombl4. I will rather sit out and see how the teams combines in the games as I have seen many cases where a team has brought in good players but still failed to perform as one hoped. Eitherway, its some good changes and they really are some good names. Let's see how quickly they adapt and adjust to Navi's play style and tactics. Natus Vincere new roster will face Astralis in Blast Premier Fall in less than two weeks. So a good test for Navi to start things out. |

Arsenal failed to win the Premier League because they could not maintain their consistency. I think the reason is that they don't really have the proper preparation and they don't have a lot of options to rotate players, so fatigue and injury became a big problem for them. Besides that, Arsenal also don't really have a winning mentality, one important thing that their rival (Man City) has. We are still far from the level of mentality that City has but we are coming near to it. Last season we made lot of improvements and the fact that coming from a 5th position in 21-22 season to close to winning the title in 22-23. It's difficult when there are strong competitors like Liverpool, City but we still did our best. Now we know what is to face a team like City in title race so hopefully we will start things strongly and maintain consistency throughout the season. Arteta certainly wants to make Arsenal even better this season, but I think it won't be easy for Arsenal to become champions because apart from Man City, Liverpool and Man United will also have the same target.
Yeah, its tough to win the title no matter how strong a club is. What's important is - consistency and right now City are best at it. We need to improve our game a lot to match City's consistency and hopefully will make a great progress in this season. |

In my opinion, Bruno will play in Eriksen's position, while Mount will play behind Striker. Bruno will start the build-up of attacks from behind because Bruno is a typical playmaker so he is the one who flows the ball from the back to the front, while Mount will move freely behind the strikers looking for and opening space and has a high enough scoring instinct so he can score goals when the strikers experience stalemate to score a goal.
I like your analysis about the way they will play... But imagine a double CAM role for Mount and Bruno, with Casemiro being the sitting Dm!!! Because Bruno can score goals and assist well too and i am sure both CAM's track back enough!!! Lol... in my opinion the attack will cook and Manchester united will be so unpredictable moving forward!!! Mount can play at many positions. You can play him as winger also but he won't be as effective as he is in central attacking midfielder role. It could be possible like Fernandes going a bit back on defensive midline but is given a right to be a bit aggressive and contribute with attacking moves also. But it would reduce the playing chances of Eriksen as well. If you ask me I would say ten Haag would start Mount slowly into the matches and then perhaps as a winger later on as matches go by. I don't think that it will be two CAM's as it would really bring back United to their old form and has to cover a lot of ground in opponent counter-attacks. It would be really risky. Two DM's is fine as it is in my opinion. |

The news about azpi has been surprising me. He has been linked to the intermilan but since chelsea gives him free agent transfer and atletico was also interesting to sign him as a new player.
Azpi potentially does U turn. It's caused by his family has been forcing him to play in spanyol and he can't refuse it. Intermilan may be losing in competition against atletico madrid to get him from chelsea.
I almost forgot with this guy, he's actually one of best defenders aside Thiago Silva in Chelsea, but it's weird he only appeared few matches in the last season. Barcelona and Real Madrid already have plenty of defenders, so yeah he can't force himself to join those two big clubs in La Liga, but playing in Atletico Madrid is surely would kill him in football career because that club has no vision to become a champion in international league. Atletico Madrid only good in business as they used to be a stepping stone by great players. I think Barcelona actually were interested in him last season's summer transfer window when Chelsea lost most of their defenders. They were interested in 3 names- Marcos Alonso, Christensen and Azpilicueta. While they managed to sign Alonso and Christensen, Azpilicueta was actually interested to move to Spian but he instead decided to play for another 2 years at Chelsea eventually. Now Barcelona is no more interested (I guess) which is why Atletico Madrid just swooped in the perfect opportunity they had. |

Of the options that they have available right now, I think Harry Kane is going to be the best one among them. Of course, it does not have to be Harry Kane. But we all know that Harry Kane is very hungry for titles right now. And this could be the right move made by both the team and the player. Because Bayern Munich is going to be very determined to hold onto the Bundesliga title, which was actually hard-earned by them. I also believe that the next season is going to be a little harder for Bayern Munich. Other clubs are getting stronger. I personally believe that Harry Kane is going to be the best option for them right now.
Well yes, Harry Kane would be top of the list for sure, its just that Bayern can consider someone effective on less price as well. Bayern need some reinforcements and right now they are interested in Kim Min-Jae as well where they will trigger the release clause, they might need a replacement for Lucas Hernandez as well who is moving to PSG and they also need a striker since last year. Kane is the best option but the question for Bayern is if he is worth according to 100m Euro tag considering they have to buy further players as well in the transfer market. |

It is a profitable business from free agents to be able to sell 50/55 million if this scenario occurs, while Inter Milan can buy a goalkeeper at a lower price but of course you are right it will not be easy for Inter to find a goalkeeper of Onana's class anymore because already have extraordinary abilities.
I think Inter Milan is currently considering it, if for example Inter is ready to let go then the negotiations from Manchester United won't take long because Erik Ten Hag still wants goalkeeper Onana to be included in their project plans with Manchester United.
The great profit doesn't get them very far. As ajiz138 pointed out correctly, it will not be easy for Inter Milan to find a goalkeeper of the same class. Goalkeepers in general are hard to be found when they really want one who belongs to the top 10 or even top 5 in the world. I would say that even a top 10 goalkeeper is not available right now and if one was available, it would cost more than 50 million. I think it started with Alisson Becker that transfer fees for goalkeepers also went up and are now closer to 100 million than they are to 50 million. But if Inter Milans wants to attack again in all competitions they have no choice but to find a goalkeeper of the same level. True it is hard to find but they are still goalkeepers at a good level that hasn't been in much targeted yet by the clubs like Livakovic. Take the situation of Mendy until he was approached by Saudi club. Mendy was bought below 20m Euro and Livakovic also is having interest but none at the level of Inter with around 7m Euro bid. Yes, it is bit hard to find but if they have good scouts then I think they really can find themselves a good buy. I hardly see much competition between the clubs when it comes to buying a goalkeeper as compared to players at other positions. This was obviously a good deal for Liverpool. Liverpool actually needed a good midfielder. It was good to see that they were able to finalise this deal without making too much noise. I am quite sure that if they actually waited long enough, they would have actually missed out on this player. Because once a player is making some noise in the transfer market he is for sure going to be approached by other clubs and he is going to actually get a good offer from other clubs which will probably end up making him turn away from the initial offer that he got. And I know that he is not a proper midfielder. But that makes it more interesting because Liverpool will be able to use him as a winger and also an attacking midfielder as well.
He is more like a winger basically. Right winger is confirmed Mo Salah for Liverpool so I am expecting Szoboszlai to play at left wing most of time for Liverpool next season. Could be mid also like you said as they are kinda low in terms of depth at mid at the moment with lot of players leaving and age getting some of them. Anyway, it is a good signing and I am looking forward to see how Klopp uses him in the squad. |

I personally believe that the best thing to do at this moment for them would be getting a pure striker, doesn't have to be Kane but it has to be at least a good striker, a Bayern level striker, if they can get that then the rest of the squad will do amazingly well eventually.
Good point. Kane is a tough one and a good striker but is 100m Euro worth going for from Bayern's perspective? It was surprising to see them actually going for Kane with 70m bid. I would say Kane is a type of player that Bayern needs but it will be better if they can look for other strikers who can give them goals and bit of qualities like Kane. I do agree, that it doesn't has to be Kane as we have seen Choupo-Moting having a great season scoring goals for Bayern. Maybe someone more stronger than Moting that can adjust better in attack and score goals. It will be interesting to look into the names Bayern have in the shortlist for striker position. |

Now its next step Andre Onana from Inter [1] . It will depend a lot on De Gea's decision but I really like what United are targeting in this transfer market. It would be important to see if they will join Bayern in Harry Kane's race as ten Haag also wants the England striker in his squad. With Spurs also now listening to offers now for Kane, if United meets what Spurs are asking- 100m Euro then it will really put United as a tough contender for the PL next season. Considering how much they have spent on Sancho (85m Euro) and Antony (95m Euro), this should be easy in my opinion for United if they don't drag this negotiating fee for long.

[1] https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1674426049575419905I have been asking myself why Inter Milan will want to give such a talent away after just a year with them. Onana joined them as a free agent and has been spectacular, he is a good goalkeeper and I think they need him, giving him away seems like a really bad idea in my opinion. Nevertheless it is up the the club to decide what they want to do, it’s not like my opinion counts anyway but Manchester United have not been clear with their plans for De Gea and until they decide on the way forward for both parties, I don’t think the deal can push forward. From business end of things, I think it will turn out to be very good for Inter if you ask me. At worst, they will have to search for a new goalkeeper but they will really make a great profit out of Onana sale if you ask me. Yes, they will lose a very strong goalkeeper but guess maybe they have someone already in mind to replace Onana in the squad.
@FabrizioRomano BREAKING: Dominik Szoboszlai to Liverpool, here we go! Understand RB Leipzig are now informed that Liverpool have triggered the release clause. 🚨🔴🇭🇺 #LFC €70m deal done. Personal terms agreed, Szobo is now ready for medical tests soon. Huge signing for #LFC.  https://twitter.com/fabrizioromano/status/1674834213831311362I would say a very quick and very discreet move from Liverpool in transfer market to make this signing. No wasting time negotiating, triggered the clause and confirmed deal. Seems like Carvalho negotiations kinda worked like a cover-up for this major transfer, no? A very good winger with good passing and vision and can really create some good attacking plays. I was actually hoping for midfield signings from Liverpool but guess it works out too. |

Chelsea are in a position to spend again under Todd Boehly as they are set to raise around £200m ($253m) from sales – with the likes of Kalidou Koulibaly, Kai Havertz and Mason Mount moving on. Standard Sport claims that some of those funds will be invested in Caicedo. Source: GoalChelsea has been a lot of its players. It was able raising a lot of money. Chelsea is now starting to make its move for caicedo. It has been reported if chelsea is ready to send bid for caidcedo while moudou onana has become a secondary option for chelsea if brighton is not willing to let caideo leave from the club. Brighton gives caicedo very expensive release clause but chelsea has so much money right now. Chelsea really needs a replacement for kante and kovacic. Caicedo has become one of the most potential player to replace kante. Caicedo has almost the same playstyle as kante. I hope chelsea will get him asap. Caicedo might just get his best game when at Chelsea. he would fit in the midfield position at Chelsea. but there are rumors regarding the price of Caicedo which was raised by the club. is it possible to cut interest from Chelsea to sign him. because it is also reported that United have withdrawn from hunting for Caicedo's signature. or maybe this is just an excuse for Brighton to keep him in the team. IIRC both clubs agreed on about 80m Euro for Caicedo. Chelsea has to make a defensive midfield signing as there is all their earlier DM's have left whether it be Kante or Jorginho. So definitely, they need to make a signing in that department. Although I haven't heard about Brighton asking more for Caicedo, I still think 80m Euro is a lot. I don't think Brighton wants to keep him, its just that they want to make most out of it. Caicedo have been clear that he wants to leave so there is no point for Brighton to keep him and take a loss if he doesn't signs for contract extension later on and leaves for free- doesn't makes sense. |
