Manchester United had better forget about signing Frenkie de Jong from now on. Because Laporta still seems determined about keeping him in the team this summer. As the season is very close to starting Manchester United should find a midfielder as quick as possible now. They have just made two defender transfers and signed Eriksen, that's all. Pogba's place should be filled in time if they want to have a solid start to the season. I know that they have Eriksen but him and Pogba are completely different kind of players.

According to the news on Bild, Timo Werner has even taken a 50% pay cut to be able to join his old team, Leipzig. It says that he can be loaned to them and there will be an option to buy for Leipzig as well. If this happens Werner would surely be happy about coming back to the team he shined very much in the past. However there will be a heated rivalry between the strikers in the team. Andre Silva is the biggest hindrance for him but it is all about who performs the most of course.

As long as PSG don't find a better alternative yeah they need Neymar for sure. They were after Bernardo Silva and wanted to swap him with Neymar too. But Manchester City weren't eager about such deal as it was meaningless for them. PSG just need to be hopeful about Neymar not to get injured for a long time. He is injury prone and this isn't good for the team at all. They are targeting the Champions League title in the end. They need every single one of their stars.

Benjamin Pavard is a really great player in terms of being able to play in various positions in defense. He is mainly a right-back of course but can be used as a centre-back as the second option too. He can even play in the left back position when he is needed. Now he seems eager to join Chelsea as well. As Chelsea might lose Azpilicueta they can sign Pavard to fill the place. Maybe this can even help them drop their search of a centre-back as well because as I said Pavard can play there too.

Hamilton has struggled in free practice sessions so far but we will see what he will do in qualifying session. Practice sessions still give us a little idea about what can happen at least. Ferrari and Red Bull are very quick as always. Norris have been making me surprised so far by his solid effort in both sessions. Ricciardo also did well so I wonder if McLarens will manage to have a decent success in this Grand Prix. Things haven't gone just as they expected for them so far and they would make use of some good amount of points here.

Bernd Leno, Pablo Mari and Hector Bellerin are expected to leave Arsenal this summer. I can understand Mari and Bellerin. Mari can't find chances here and Bellerin was loaned to Betis last season which shows that they don't think of opening space for him in the lineup as well. However I still would expect Leno to stay. Because as I said before maybe he is the second goalkeeper of the team but he is still very useful when Ramsdale can't play. But if he really wants to leave Arsenal wouldn't block his way.

This is a problem to solve for Chelsea, agreed. If they can't hold their important players in their hand then they would lose quite much strength before the start of the season. Azpilicueta and Alonso transfers might not happen by the way because Chelsea are angry with Barcelona for intervening their Kounde deal and nearly completing the signing as well. They might have revenge on them by not selling these two players. Losing Werner and Pulisic both won't be good for them unless they find replacements.

Milan and Roma are in a competition to sign Manchester United defender Eric Bailly now. The Red Devils don't give much chance to him in their starting eleven. Considering this fact I think that it wouldn't be too difficult for one of these Italian teams to sign him. His market value is 6 million euros now and I don't have big expectations from Manchester United's asking price as well. Bailly is still a skilled defender so it would be a really good transfer for Milan and Roma both.

The source says that Barcelona are getting close to finishing the signings of Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso both now. On the other hand this deal doesn't seem too much likely to me. I'm thinking like this considering the rumours that Chelsea won't sell any of these players. Because Barcelona have signed Kounde while they were also after him. I'll give them that because it must be really annoying to just watch the same team stealing your target players one by one.

I agree with your opinion about Chelsea. They are one of the most serious contenders of the Premier League title at the moment. It wouldn't be the right thing to overlook them this season. I can still say that they need some transfers now on one hand. For example their biggest need is a striker now as Lukaku is no more here and Werner might also leave the team soon. If they somehow find the right striker for themselves then they would really compete harder to achieve the title.

After Kim Min-jae signed for Napoli officially Fenerbahce started to look for a new defender as a replacement. According to latest rumours, Arsenal centre-back Pablo Mari is a candidate for them now. He was on loan at Udinese last season and played in 15 games in the Serie A. He scored 2 goals as well. He isn't an important player for Arsenal now so this transfer wouldn't be much hard for Fenerbahce. However we don't know if he can play strongly as Kim Min-jae.

Unfortunately it is true.     In my opinion, Sebastian Vettel is one of the greatest drivers ever in Formula 1. It is frustrating to see him saying goodbye to Formula 1 after racing with a very bad car during the whole season. Aston Martin couldn't even give a proper car to him to be able to have a decent season before his retirement. It would have been nice to see him in a better car next season and race harder before he retires. But I'm still going to remember him with his great years with Red Bull especially.

Fenerbahce's performance in the first half especially was incredible. They just dominated the whole half and Dinamo Kiev were really lucky about not conceding a goal. However the red card made things really difficult for Fenerbahce all of a sudden. Dinamo Kiev captured the psychological advantage and scored too. Fenerbahce missed a penalty in this game too by the way so if they got ahead first then things might have been different. Although Szalai scored the equalizer Fenerbahce still lost the game 2-1 by extra time.

The goals Fenerbahce conceded were really annoying as well. It was unexpected for me to see them being eliminated in this round already.

There have been some times that Chiesa played as a centre-forward as well. But this playing time doesn't cover the majority of his performances so far of course. He is mainly a winger now and I expect him to play in that position as long as there is no need for him in the centre-forward position. Kean is a really promising striker now. Vlahovic is a wonderful signing for Juventus and it is really difficult for Kean to take his place in the future considering Vlahovic's determined behaviour.

Yeah I have heard about it. Ronaldo is most likely staying at Manchester United in this transfer window. Atletico Madrid president has refuted the rumours regarding them to sign Ronaldo. In addition I agree that they already have three centre-forwards in the team. Even if they play with a two-forward system they would still have an alternative striker among the subs. However Morata might leave the team to join Juventus but this isn't a big probability for now.

Juventus' friendly against Barcelona was really amusing to watch. Barcelona were the better side actually but it still ended in a 2-2 draw. We watched a nice duel between Dembele and Kean when it comes to scoring. Even though Kean seems to be a really good alternative for Vlahovic now, Juventus want to bring another striker for Dybala's place. The biggest candidate is Roberto Firmino for now as I have mentioned before. If we consider that Allegri would prefer a system with two centre-forwards they need an additional player now.

Icardi would really be a nice candidate for filling Haller's place. His performance wasn't much good last season and maybe PSG are also keen on selling him in case there is any team wanting him. However if they sell Icardi then there won't be any substitute left for Mbappe in the team. If they have thought of some alternatives for him already then it isn't a big deal. Icardi is even a better alternative than Suarez actually because he is 28 years old and can play for longer years.

The rumours regarding Roberto Firmino to Juventus are getting stronger now. Liverpool have already been seeming willing to sell him actually. Juventus have a good opportunity to sign him and they need a striker after Dybala's departure. Liverpool have signed Darwin Nunez so it might be really difficult for Firmino to find too many chances in the starting eleven from now on. There is no guarantee for him at Juventus too of course because Vlahovic is the main striker. But if they play with a system including two strikers then he can play more.

I suggest you not to be very sure of that.    He is aging and getting really old when we consider this sport. However Ronaldo still can be really effective at the team he goes to. I think that Manchester United are a very good example for this. He scored 24 goals in 37 games in total last season. This is really striking statistics for a 37-year-old striker I mean. He is still in a very solid shape physically as well. If he returns to the La Liga, I'm pretty sure that he can contribute more than Suarez's last season performance for Atletico Madrid.

The opportunity to sign Luis Suarez is gone for Dortmund now. Because he has already expressed via his Twitter account that he is signing for Nacional. This is no good news for Dortmund if they really thought of signing him seriously. However it isn't like there are no players left as well. Dortmund can find another striker to fill Haller's place in the team. Considering that they were planning to go for Suarez, I assume that they are in search of an experienced striker this time.
