I'm not so sure about Haaland, to be honest. Yeah, Dortmund really don't want to sell him this summer. They want to keep him at the team at least for one more year. But if they get an offer which they wouldn't like to reject, then everything could change about their decision. Some sources were saying that Chelsea were preparing to make an offer around 175 million pounds. If this happens, I don't think that Dortmund would even think of keeping him at the team still.

What a race we got, man! It was incredible from the start to the end. The huge accident among many drivers in the first lap already was really shocking to see. Bottas, Leclerc, Stroll, Perez and Norris were out because of the incident. And Verstappen got a hit also unfortunately. He had a big damage on his car and it was not a reparable one in pit. So, he had to race like that if he didn't want to retire the car. And he did his best with this broken car but he was able to finish only as the 10th. At least, he got 1 point which could be really important in terms of the title race. Hamilton made a huge comeback and managed to be on the podium finishing as the 3rd. But Alonso was definitely the driver of the day. He defended Hamilton for many laps incredibly well. Thanks to him, Ocon and Vettel were able to keep their places and Ocon made it! His best placement was being the 2nd before this one and now he won a race! But to be honest, I would like to see Vettel winning this race.  

I've heard that Harry Kane is going to tell Tottenham that he wants to join Manchester City this summer. So he is holding talks with Tottenham for now. He doesn't want a new contract. He just wants to leave the team as soon as possible. So, there is no meaning for the chairman Levy to object to his decision. Tottenham should have a good understanding about why he wants to leave. He is one of the greatest strikers now and he doesn't want to get stuck here winning nothing.

We are getting close to the new season. And guess what will happen. Yeah, your answer was true. It will be another season that Bayern will have the control mostly. As long as they are not out of discipline, I don't think that this will change easily. I really believed in Leipzig to do it but they started playing bad on the last weeks. And it was an easy title opportunity for Bayern.

In this season, maybe Dortmund can put up a really good fight against them and for the league title. But if they lose Haaland, I'm not sure of it then.

I've heard that Manchester Utd are planning to sign B. Dortmund's young and very talented player, Erling Haaland next summer. But before them, I think that some other teams would like to make a serious and big offer. Chelsea should still be searching for a way to sign him. We've left many days behind but still there is no result.  But they still can change this situation as long as they make an offer which Dortmund won't be able to reject.

It looks like Atletico Madrid's 26-year-old central midfielder Saul Niguez will fly to England. Because Liverpool and Manchester Utd both are making an effort to sign him. He is actually a quite good player and he is still young. Maybe he can perform there in the EPL much better than now.

Eriksen is even under the risk of not being able to play football forever. Because he will be using a cardiac pacemaker. But I hope that he gets really well as soon as possible. I would like to see him playing football happily after the incident. But if his condition isn't good enough, then there is no need to make him continue to play. Because if it happens again, he could even die. So, the situation is this much important.

If he goes to Liverpool, I think that he can play in so many games as being in the starting eleven. It actually depends on how he will perform. If he becomes a disappointment, then Liverpool would try to sell him immediately. As he can play in too many games at Gladbach, I think that it's not time to leave. He should play for them at least for one more season and then decide what to do.

France and Australia are the best teams so far as they won all of their group games. France managed to defeat even the USA. And as far as I know, they made it after many years against the USA. This was a really meaningful victory because of that. But still I think that the USA are the closest team to the gold medal.

By the way, we have 2 more games tomorrow. One of these games will be really important in terms of the best third-placed teams table. Argentina still have a chance to be one of the top 2 in this table and promote to the next round. They must defeat Japan first. And the other one between Spain and Slovenia will determine who will be at the 1st place.

I must admit that I'm quite surprised about the result of the qualifying session. I was expecting Verstappen to take the pole position. He was actually faster than Hamilton in Q1 and Q2. But in Q3, something started going wrong for Verstappen. He tried a different tyre set and he complained about the grip. And we saw its reflection on his time also. This helped Hamilton take the pole even easier. Verstappen couldn't even take the 2nd place.

But in the race, I believe that Verstappen will have a really aggressive and great start and leave Bottas behind already. When it comes to the winner, I still think that Verstappen can win this race.

I've heard that Liverpool are still making an effort to sign Gladbach's young (24) central midfielder Florian Neuhaus. He is a target for Jurgen Klopp but it seems like Liverpool won't be able to meet the demand of the team which is £34m. Neuhaus got 8 goals and 10 assists in 45 games in the last season. He could be a good alternative if he is signed.

Liverpool are after Sassuolo's young (23) player Manuel Locatelli also. He played really great in the Euro 2020. Let's see if they are able to sign him.

It's going to be a really interesting season I believe. Because Lakers have signed Westbrook. And we have a Lebron - Westbrook - Davis trio now. If they don't have any problems with playing together, then Lakers will definitely become one of the favorites for the title. And if Nets don't struggle with important injuries again, I think they are the other favorite for the title as they have a wonderful trio like Durant - Irving - Harden.

Considering the news today, Real Madrid are going to open talks with PSG for Kylian Mbappe in the coming weeks. His contract is going to expire in one year. And he clearly stated that he wouldn't like to extend his contract and he would like to leave the team as soon as possible. There is a golden opportunity for him to go to his dream club, Real Madrid. If Real Madrid are able to meet his and his team's demands financially, then it'll be a done-deal in a short time I believe.

According to the FP1 and FP2 results, Bottas seems to be very assertive in this event. We have the FP3 and the qualifying session tomorrow. And I feel like Bottas will take the pole position or end the session at the 2nd place. But I would really like to see Verstappen taking the pole. If he manages to do it, I think it's very likely that he can win the race also. And he really needs this win after the last incidents in the Britain GP.

It seems like Chelsea will go for Romelu Lukaku if they fail on signing Erling Haaland this summer. Inter are demanding at least £102.5m to let him go. Romelu Lukaku also would be a really good striker transfer. He got 24 goals and 10 assists in 36 Serie A games in the last season. Yeah, he is much older than Haaland of course but he is more experienced also.

According to a source, Bayer Leverkusen have rejected a £30m offer from Aston Villa for Leon Bailey (23). I really enjoyed watching him in the last season. He got 9 goals and 9 assists in 30 Bundesliga games. I think he is a player who has a good potential and he is still young. If he has another productive season, maybe we can see him at a big club in the next season.

This source says that Manchester City have reached an agreement with Jack Grealish. And they are ready to offer a sum around £90m for him. The 25-year-old player got really decent statistics in the last season at Aston Villa. He scored 6 goals and made 12 assists in 26 EPL games. It was enough to draw City's attention to buy him.

City are making an effort to sign Harry Kane also. And it looks like they are preparing to make an offer between £120m and £160m for Kane. Do they really have this much money right now? It looks like they have. 

According to some rumours, Juventus have some plans for Antoine Griezmann. If Ronaldo leaves Juventus, they are thinking of taking Griezmann on loan with an option to buy him. I wonder what Barcelona are thinking about this. Griezmann had a really productive year. He scored 13 goals and made 8 assists in 36 La Liga games. He is 30 years old now. He's still one of the most important players for Barcelona. So, I think they wouldn't be too much willing to send him to another club nowadays.

According to today's news, it's said that Chelsea are ready to offer £130m for Erling Haaland. Abramovich wants him to be signed really much. If Chelsea become successful on this transfer, it's going to be a club-record deal at the same time. Eyes have turned to Dortmund side now. Will they accept it or refuse it? We'll learn about it soon I think.

I completely forgot that Federico Chiesa was on loan at Juventus from Fiorentina.    This player is playing so great that I've already started to establish a strong connection between him and Juventus. When he first came here, his market value was €48m. But now, we see that it's increased to €70m. This guy is developing really fast. And I liked him really much in the Euro 2020 also. Juventus should absolutely buy him. He has one more year on his loan contract.
