Andre Silva officially joins Real Sociedad for the next season. He is on loan from Leipzig to strengthen Real Sociedad until next season and is a good signing for Real Sociedad who need a striker to be more competitive in active competition next season. We know Real Sociedad since last season was so passionate and they managed to finish in 4th place in the standings as well as to secure a place in the champions league. Andre Silva's statistics last season were also quite good with 9 goals and 9 assists. Therefore, I think that all of this could be a reason for Real Sociedad to really want Andre Silva as a goalscoring machine.

Gabriel Jesus has been injured again and this time a problem with his knee has kept him out of Arsenal's pre-season game against Monaco today. It is still unknown since when he has been injured again and as reported by Fabrizio Romano is currently being assessed by the medical team. We know that Gabriel Jesus recently recovered from injury but when the EPL is about to start in a few days he has the same problem.

I think he needs to be more careful and if he is an important enough player Mikel Arteta should be able to rest him a bit longer. At the moment there are not many striker options at Arsenal and only Nketiah is left as a pure striker. I hope his knee problem is not too bad so he can return to strengthen Arsenal next season.

Manchester city has reportedly reached an agreement to bring in one of the stars of the 2022 world cup who is now defending Leipzig, namely Josko Gvardiol. His cost is estimated at around 90 million euros and this week he will undergo a medical test before being announced as an official Manchester City player. Now for matters of Manchester City's defense line there is no need to be confused for a long time and Pep Guardiola is certainly happy to be able to get one of the talented players who is still 21 years old. I think this is the most successful transfer for Manchester City this season and Josko Gvardiol's choice was the right choice to join last season's treble winner.

These two former Liverpool midfielders will face each other to defend their new team in the saudi league and I think their meeting will be quite interesting. Jordan Henderson is at Al-Ettifaq and Fabinho is at Al-Ittihad, although in depth the Al-Ittihad squad is much better but both of them will definitely have good memories when they are in a team that is no longer the same. In addition, so far Liverpool can be said to be the most contributor to the former players registered to join the Saudi league team this summer.

I think it's quite natural that PSG are not optimal in this pre-season match and they have lost more. Maybe the reason for having a new coach is very understandable and we can find out later whether PSG can start the competition well or not. Because of course there are many who expect PSG to continue to dominate Ligue 1 next season, but if later there are many who bet on PSG's victory but it doesn't come true, maybe we can know that PSG has started to lose its power. Apart from that I still quite believe that Luis Enrique's progress to bring this squad into a more organized state will be achieved and he is also an experienced coach in European clubs, so I have no doubts about it.

I think even if there are rumors like that then you can be sure that Ugochukwu will not get a lot of playing minutes at Chelsea. I understand Chelsea are still hoping for Caceido, who is currently still in the negotiation stage and if the fee desired by Brighton is still too high, at least Chelsea can use Ugochukwu's services first. But if the deal between Chelsea and Brighton comes in at 100 million euros for Caciedo, then for sure Ugochukwu will go on loan first and I think that will make sense again. Moreover, Strasbourg is also a team that is currently held by Todd Boehly with its share ownership.

Losing the title can happen to any club including PSG, therefore they must be able to build a squad more without relying on one player. Regarding Kylian Mbappe, I read the news that PSG will report Real Madrid to FIFA because indirectly the Spanish team has reached a personal agreement with Kylian Mbappe for a fee of 160 million euros and PSG seems very sure about his accusations. On the other hand, even if there is another agreement, it seems that PSG is also very sure that Mbappe and Real Madrid have agreed to meet later in 2024 and that is probably what makes PSG so annoyed that they want to take this case to court.

I think PSG is exaggerating because after all, as a player, Mbappe also has the right to accept offers if outside parties contact him, especially since everyone knows that Mbappe's only goal is Real Madrid. So PSG should be more open and sincere about their players to be able to get a better future. After all, Mbappe has also been so loyal to PSG over the past few years and when his contract is about to expire it's clear he wants to decide for himself and doesn't want to be held back by PSG.

With the arrival of Sadio Mane, Al-Nassr's line-up was so terrible with so many other European players and now it is certain that Al-Nassr's squad is starting to be evenly distributed. Al-Nassr is definitely working on additional ammunition for other European players and indeed for the next player, management will definitely ask Ronaldo for advice on players who are worthy of strengthening the team. If we look at it, it is very suitable if Al-Nassr later uses a 4-3-3 formation and this formation is very synonymous with fast counterattacks which are so difficult for the opponent's defense.

David Raya is rumored to be getting closer to joining Arsenal and this breaks previous speculation that David Raya will be a back-up to Aaron Ramsdale. What is clear is that David Raya wants to join one of the big teams and Arsenal is his choice so it will be a competition between two goalkeepers for the starting position. An agreement in principle with Arsenal has been reached and is now in the stage of negotiating a fee with Brentford to let go of its flagship keeper. In your opinion, is David Raya really worthy of being Arsenal's main goalkeeper for next season?

I was very sad when I heard the news that Gianluigi Buffon had finally retired from football. He is one of the living legends who accompanied me growing up in knowing football and when I played football I always wanted to be a goalkeeper like Gianluigi Buffon. So many great players respect him and after returning to Parma he finally chose to retire in the team that made his name when he was young. It doesn't feel like he is already 45 years old and indeed it is time for him to retire to be able to enjoy a quieter life. Legend of Parma and Juventus, I will never forget his name.

So many people expected that Arda Guler would be the next Mesut Ozil at Real Madrid, but after this injury some people assumed he would be the next Eden Hazard. I think it's a bit risky with an injury that must keep him out for so long and he could be left behind by other Real Madrid players who have already started the competition later. But in conditions like this all it takes is mentality and also the belief to get through all of this and I hope he has it all. Support from fellow colleagues is also needed so that Arda Guler can recover more quickly.

Hasn't the Bundesliga been too boring for so long? and maybe last season was one of the most competitive seasons in the last 10 years because bayern munchen almost lost their seasonal title. I think this is all thanks to good management from Bayern Munich who are always on target to achieve goals and while Dortmund even though they also have good management but returning to the title is not their main focus. As for the other teams in the bundesliga, it's likely they won't be able to compete either due to a lack of funds to be able to get decent players to be able to improve squad depth, but I see Union Berlin being able to do that next season with their current squad.

Chelsea continues to add ammunition to their young players and now it's Lesley Ugochukwu's turn to be brought in from Rennes. After going through quite tough negotiations, finally the cost of 27 million euros was agreed by both parties and the duration of Lesley Ugochukwu's contract will last until 2030. Pochettino really seems to want to build the Chelsea squad filled with more young players and he is very confident that Chelsea can return to the highest caste of European football with the players of his choice. I'm very curious about how these young players will be in the most competitive competition and we know all EPL teams are in a transitional period so they can consistently achieve the desired results.

Now Sadio Mane has also been introduced by Al-Nassr as his newest recruit after previously bringing in Alex Telles. At the age of 31, Sadio Mane has received a contract duration until 2027 and this is a long-term contract carried out by Al-Nassr. He also uses the number 10 jersey which was his favorite when he was at Liverpool. The Ronaldo and Mane partnership will be one of the most dangerous in the saudi league next season and considering the two players have a good relationship, I think the two of them can work together to contribute more goals for Al-Nassr and win the saudi league title.

After Riyad Mahrez left and joined the Saudi league team, the right winger position became vacant and it seems that Manchester City wants to move quickly to get a replacement. One name has been rumored with Manchester City, namely Jeremy Doku from Rennes. I honestly don't know how this young Belgian is performing and if Pep Guardiola is interested in bringing him to the Etihad stadium then he is a player with even greater potential. If you refer to last season's statistics in Ligue 1 with Rennes, he recorded 6 goals and 2 assists in 29 appearances. I think this player is quite good but immature so it takes enough time to reach his best performance if he later joins Manchester City.

I understand that it's not always good to follow what you say and often the numbers are manipulated. But if journalists do that, the name that is published will also become more famous, whether it's because of good or bad news. I really admit that Erik ten hag is capable of carrying out the tasks inherited from the previous coach and with the current squad he has been able to prove this since last season. Erik ten hag will continue to work to pursue his target of bringing Manchester United to the pinnacle of glory to win various titles including the EPL.

I don't doubt Rasmus Hojlund, it's just that at a cost of up to 70 million euros it seems too much but as long as he proves his quality later at Manchester United is equivalent to that money then of course it has paid off and is very well deserved. Hojlund and Haaland are compared because both are players from two clubs who have high rivalry with each other and I think that's natural because at any time the team's competition will continue to be aligned to the players' business. However, for more specific similarities, the two players use the same left foot, tall posture and are also Scandinavian.

That's right and it will at the same time make it even more difficult for Arda Guler to be on the starter list if he is absent for that long. We know that currently Real Madrid has 8 midfielders and from all of them at least 3 or 4 midfielders will be taken as main starters. With that, it's clear that Arda Guler's chances are dwindling and maybe he will enter as a supersub first in the second half.

Apart from that, we can see how important the roles of Kroos and Modric are in pre-season matches, who can always lead Real Madrid's young players to be better. I think Ancelotti will not be too pushy with Arda Guler's current state because for a midfielder he has many options at his disposal.

That's right, if Dortmund try to take Neymar now it feels very pointless for a team contribution but if for business, I think Neymar has it all. We know he is also a star player even though in recent seasons he has experienced a decline in performance due to frequent injuries. On the other hand, Dortmund will be increasingly hampered from producing other talented players and indirectly their business will be quite disrupted if Neymar joins. What is clear right now is that the possibility of Neymar joining Dortmund feels impossible but for Gnabry I quite agree that Dortmund will sign him.

But if we look at David Raya's desire to choose Arsenal over Bayern Munich, it proves that he is very ready to compete with Aaron Ramsdale for the goalkeeping position at Arsenal. Looks like this will be one very exciting transfer, especially goalkeeper competition which we rarely see and these two goalkeepers are very good at filling a main place in the team. Now maybe what is quite difficult to achieve is that Brentford wants a fee of 40 million euros for David Raya and with the allocation of funds that Arsenal have so far spent on players on a large scale, can they still be able to bring David Raya to the Emirates stadium?

What you see, I just finished watching it and actually Rasmus Hojlund is really bad at finishing. Until now I don't know what made Erik ten Hag want him so much as a Manchester United striker for next season. He is a little younger than Haaland and indeed for the long term a player like Rasmus Hojlund is what Manchester United needs the most, but if in one season or after there is no improvement in terms of finishing then it is certain that he will not be as mature as a great striker like Erling Haaland .

For those of you who haven't seen Rasmus Hojlund's finishing results last season, I'll provide the source:  https://twitter.com/manutdnocontext/status/1686078129465364480
