Benzema's departure does make for less competition up front, as you say it might make it easier for Lewandowski to win La Liga's top scorer again. But apart from that, I expect Real Madrid to surprise us, they only have Joselu, who has been in doubt, but they also have youngsters like Rodrygo, who was given the nod last season to pick up where he left off up front. Now the burden is on Joselu's shoulders, depending on whether he can give something to expect or not.

Logically, we're bound to have doubts about what El Real have, but they usually answer them if they're doubted.

Likewise, if there were any pre-season bets, I would avoid them, as it would be a huge risk betting on a match where the club would not be giving their all, but simply gauging the strength of the team. For me it's not wise to bet on matches like that.


Will there be any surprises when the transfer window closes? I think so, because maybe they are now trying an unheard-of approach with the players they are targeting. Or even transfer news that until now has only been a rumor will become a reality before the transfer market ends.
I'm eager to see where the surprises really happen, especially for transfers that might break new records. One of them might be Mbappe for example, or there are other surprising players like Osimhen, 2 players who are much talked about.

Perhaps we have a different idea from Harry Kane about the title that many players want. I wonder if he doesn't really want the title so much that he is so loyal to stay at Tottenham for years, because if he wants he can actually find a club that can give him a title that many players want. He's a good player, we can't deny that, but it's unfortunate if he never gets a prestigious title during his career. There's something to be said for that, because it's not ambition but it's a form of wanting something.

He could go to Real Madrid for example if he pressures Tottenham to sell him. But it seems loyalty trumps all and he is comfortable at Tottenham despite not winning titles.

All possibilities are still there, as long as they have the desire to be a competitor of Bayern Munich. at this time they also definitely want to be a competitor of Bayern Munich, but what I mean is that they must have a serious desire to make it all happen. want alone is not enough to be able to shift the dominance held by Bayern Munich at this time, they need to take real action with improvements for example or something like that.
Borussia Dortmund for example, if they don't sell many of their quality players then I'm sure they will be able to be at the same level, or even better than Bayern Munich.

It was a move made by them to attract younger players to join them. If they directly target a player at his golden age, it is clear that the player will prefer Europe for his career. But when they target players who are older and approaching retirement age with a large amount of money, then they will be easier to convince. But the point here is that their first move opens the door for other players. I don't know the exact number of European-labeled players that have joined them, but I do know that it's quite a lot.

It's about capital, because I also want to know if they're going to continue this program in the long term or not.
Their management of finances must be well managed, the slightest mistake will make it difficult for them. I'm just thinking realistically with the money they spend so much.

I believe they have a good business in Arabia, but they shouldn't get too carried away with it. About finances I mean because again the money they need is not a small amount of money to do everything they are doing right now.

Arsenal in recent seasons have always made transfer moves that can contribute to them, and this season they did it again even at a higher price. You are right that if the money they spend can't give them what they want then it will be very sad, but on the other hand I quite believe Arteta brings in players with what he needs only, and in this case he is ready to spend a lot of money as long as the players he is eyeing can join the squad.


Saudi Arabian clubs if they want a player, they will not hesitate to make a high offer no matter even higher than his current market price. Fenerbache do have an interest in David de Gea, but whether they will be able to afford what de Gea wants is still the question.
But for me it is natural that de Gea wants the price as you mentioned, the article in the game he is also still very good and fairly will last long with his age.

I heard Al Nassr is interested in signing David de Gea, but I have not received clear confirmation of this information. If that happens then I feel he will be happy because he will be back in the same team with Ronaldo.

What I'm looking forward to now is the pre-season games that the big clubs will have, especially those who will be in the Champions League next season. For me pre-season matches are very important to measure and test the strategies they will apply in the competition later, also I want to see the game of new players who have just joined the club club.
In pre-season matches, all strengths will be tried, including seeing the ability of players who will be the second tier later, who knows they will be able to show a good game and eventually be able to penetrate the main squad.

First, Mbappe's contract at PSG is only one season away.
Second, this is Ligue 1 not Bundesliga

Enrique is indeed one of the good enough coaches especially when he was at Barcelona but of course there are other factors that cannot be released.
PSG has always had a tendency with coaches losing out to players in terms of dominance. It's a bit bad if in the end Enrique's arrival is just like the previous coaches who seemed to lose to the players. On the other hand, Enrique must try to make some things in communication better for PSG because looking at the last few seasons their problems still seem the same in communication that does not really go well.

Even then on condition that PSG lose Mbappe this season because if they don't lose Mbappe they won't push too hard actually.
As for PSG and Dusan Vlahovic, I think this will get stumbled especially now that rumors about Dusan being close to Chelsea are also getting bigger and Juventus wanting Lukaku is one of the strong reasons if Dusan will be a little difficult to PSG because Chelsea and Juventus both have certain intentions in exchanging their players.
But of course this will be interesting because player transfers will take a toll on each other and when the domino effect of Mbappe leaving indirectly Napoli may lose Osimhen and when Dusan leaves Juventus then Inter will accept defeat because it is certain that Lukaku leaves there as a means of exchanging Chelsea for Juventus.

Now they need a few things to rebalance the attack and to play big clubs like this straight away is of course pretty good.
Milan, Juventus, Manchester United and of course the last match I'm waiting for the first El Clasico with Barcelona.
Even if the format this time is only a friendly match, it will still be very interesting because no matter if it is an official match in a competition or a friendly, the tension is still the same because both have high prestige so the tension will definitely rise.

Speaking of El Clasico, Barcelona are now without their plauer golden era as players have left. Benzema and Lewandowski's rivalry was very short-lived, now we need to find candidates for player rivalry to heat up the El Clasico atmosphere even more  .

If you look at Real Madrid's pre-season fixtures, they will face AC Milan in the near future, interestingly Real Madrid will face many big clubs in their pre-season matches. I want to see how they do in the pre-season matches, I won't judge them and conclude, but I will see the development they will show during the pre-season matches. There will always be a difference between pre-season matches and real matches, but it can be a reference even if it doesn't guarantee it.
We'll be shown some matches from big clubs as they prepare.

Yes, that's right, and I don't think it's any different from what I was talking about before, and maybe it's just the way we deliver it that's different.
Players will definitely see the figure of a coach, there are players who follow whatever the coach says because they are afraid, some are out of respect. Maybe the result is the same because they will follow what the coach says, but what is different is the end result. Of course players who are afraid will not be better than players who are respectful, I mean a coach does not have to be feared by players, but they have to be a person that players respect.

Manchehster City managed to create chemistry between the players. I was reminded of one of the local clubs in my country, yes they did not get good results when they had a golden squad, but they could actually do something extraordinary when they had a fairly makeshift squad, I saw that because of the chemistry they created.

Everyone has their reasons for gambling, I wouldn't fault them for it as it's their right, but keep it within limits. Also everyone has their own way of making themselves happy internally, and I think gambling for some people is to fulfill their pleasure internally.
Yes you are right, maybe some people will be satisfied with just watching a movie, and for some others may prefer to go out for a walk, and there are also those who just rest at home to fulfill their need for pleasure because they are too busy working outside the home.
It's all about how people enjoy it.

Now it's just a matter of waiting to see if there is a club that can afford it because if you look at the current situation, only PSG has said they are ready to spend 150 million for Osimhen only on the condition that Mbappe leaves.
But if not then the chances of him staying are actually certain at least for this season.
There are positives and of course there are possibilities for negatives too in this case.
If Osimhen's performance is better or at least matches the performance in the last season then in this case he will be back in contention next season but when he fails to show his capacity then this is also a risk for Napoli so this will be a new task that is actually heavy for Rudi Garcia.

True, I wouldn't say it's a mistake, but it's better to avoid anything involving money with a friend or anyone else. Money is a very sensitive thing, believe me money will change everything, and even we will see someone's true nature when dealing with money. Maybe you've heard about these words "money is the sharpest relationship breaker". And that is indeed very true.
This is one of my personal experiences, (now we are on good terms again). At that time my friend was struggling and I tried to help, and when I needed it he antagonized me, even though, I spoke nicely.

Yes, they should do business now by selling Mbappe on the grounds that Mbappe will certainly not extend his contract with Paris Saint Germain. But this seems to be an obstacle for Paris Saint Germain, because they still really hope that Mbappe can be with them again and extend his contract.
Even if they don't get the price they want, but at least they don't release Mbappe for free.
I wonder what the management are really thinking at the moment, why they are still insisting on their will.
I don't mean to mock them, but that's how it is when the money they have can't be put to good use. Lol


By the way, for next season I hope there is a club that surprises in Ligue 1, I hope to see a club that will be able to shift the dominance from PSG, it will be a fun league if they can be more competitive and we don't just see one club that is very superior.

Well I agree with you, because after all Manchester United need a striker to add to their power in attack. I actually see that they can still rely on David de Gea rather than bringing in a new goalkeeper, but that is the decision of the coach so David de Gea must leave Old Trafford.
Last season, they were very lucky because Marcus Rashford could be a player in their attack, but in some matches, they really struggled. So they have to add at least one more striker for the upcoming season, because with the current squad, I think it is too risky.
I know ETH is a coach who brings good changes, but that doesn't mean we should be complacent and fully trust the strikers they have at the moment. So I think they should bring in another striker, I agree with you.

Not every positive experience has to have a monetary reward is a good point. If we go back to the idea that everything has to be monetized, then we will never experience pleasure. I liken it to when we are on vacation for example, we will spend money and it will give us a reciprocal pleasure that we will not be able to feel in other things. Likewise with gambling, maybe some people will say it's just wasting money, but for those of us who seek pleasure in gambling it is a form of entertainment that we don't get in other things.

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.

Talking about the money in the Arab League, personally I don't doubt their ability financially. Many of the clubs in Europe are owned by wealthy Arabs, so I conclude that they are financially well-established clubs. Although it is rumored that some clubs have debt, but in my opinion it is still in a reasonable category, because in fact the big and fairly rich clubs in Europe also have debt. As long as it is not excessive and still within normal limits, it is valid. What is clear is that most Arab businesses that have an interest in football are successful in their business.
