But everything else is speculation without substance in my opinion. Mbappe won't stay at PSG for another season. He will either go to Madrid for sure or to Al-Hilal. I think the chance that he will play for Madrid next season is 80:20 and all of this is the normal drama to stay relevant and push prices and salaries.
Mbappe contract has a few moments left at PSG, so as we know, PSG has always pressured him to be willing to go on the sale list. True, now there are only two more realistic choices, namely Al Hilal or Real Madrid. Mbappe still has many goals to achieve in Europe and this statement allows him to go to Real Madrid, let's see the truth.

The drama of Mbappe's move continues today, this drama started after Mbappe did not want to activate his contract extension clause. If the contract extension agreement doesn't happen soon, Mbappe can leave for free next season. PSG certainly don't want Mbappe to leave for free, they will immediately find a club that is willing to accommodate him according to a predetermined price. After the rift that occurred between Mbappe and PSG, Mbappe began to be linked with many clubs. Real Madrid have been heavily linked with Mbappe but the Spanish giants have yet to make a formal bid for PSG.

Saudi Arabian clubs have also tried to negotiate, but Mbappe is not willing to play in the Arab League. It was rumored that Liverpool had an interest in Mbappe, but the rumors were denied by Liverpool. This drama has not seen a bright spot where Mbappe will go, the point is that PSG will not let one of their most valuable assets go for free next season.



It is really surprising to see how determined Real Madrid are in the pursuit of Kylian Mbappe. PSG will be getting frustrated with the situation as they will be worried of losing their most priced asset for free to an European rival. The best they can do now is to sell Mbappe this summer or in January but Real Madrid who look like the only club currently willing to spend that big on this purchase is taking time and not in a rush to get the best fees for the deal.

Complaining about how difficult it is to earn merit will not make it come any easier. Merits is a subjective thing, everyone has their own reasoning of what a merit worthy should be, and just because a post gets some merit does not mean the post is necessarily a quality post, it could just appeal to another member at that time. It’s ironic that you complain about the merit distribution when you have been hoarding merits for the last 150 days, maybe you have been saving them for a merit giveaway like this.

If loss Dembélé, barcelona hasn't many option on right or left winger between reserve players not on the top performance, actually selling Dembélé is disappointed for Barcelona fans actually for defending their La Liga trophy next season.
There are Raphinha and Ferran Torres who can fill the right wing position because Raphinha and Ferran Torres can play in the right wing and left wing positions. Pedri and Gavi can also fill the left wing position even though their original position is central midfield.
Dembele is considered an important player for Barcelona coming from the mouth of Xavi Hernandez since he was appointed as head coach of Barcelona and words of praise for Dembele were spoken by Xavi while in the locker room.

The number of goals that Dembele managed to score in the 2022/23 season was 5. This number still makes Raphinha superior, scoring 7 goals.
I think Raphinha fits in better because the right wing is his preferred position ever since and since joining Barcelona has already proved how good he is playing from the right so Raphinha and Dembele are the best options in that position gmfor Barcelona, as you said already that Xavi has expressed his delight and satisfaction with the duo since taking over as the club’s manager.

Mason Greenwood's future at Manchester United is increasingly full of question marks and the club is considering the best options for the player before the EPL starts on the 14th of August. Some time ago, Mason Greenwood wanted to be loaned to Atalanta for a season, but seeing the developments in the news, until now there has been no common ground, making him have to accept an important decision in that time. Actually Mason Greenwood is still pretty good even though he had experienced a case that got him in trouble and had to undergo punishment. But in this case, Erik ten hag also doesn't want to make too many decisions and he prefers to leave this matter to the club. Even Erik ten hag would not take any responsibility for the situation.

Source: https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1685949984095555584
It was an unexpected and unfortunate incident that occured between Mason Greenwood and his girlfriend which resulted in him getting suspended for the whole of last season. I expected this would have died down since the news broke out that the case was settled between the two parties. At some point, it was speculated that a move away was being considered but until now no steps have been taken and no decision have been made concerning this. I really want this to be settled quickly as I love to see Greeneood on the pitch.

Since Todd Boehly became Chelsea boss, he has beentagged as the big money investor because of the number of huge money signings he has made in the short time he has been in charge and he has continued to make this big money moves and acquiring players he considers as the best and have the quality he needs to make the club grow. It will not be a shocker for me if tomorrow I get notifications of a proposed bid been submitted by Chelsea for Kylian Mbappe, I believe the club is capable of financing such a move.
466  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: July 31, 2023, 05:53:16 PM
Dembele still seems indecisive about leaving Barcelona now. PSG must have one day left to buy his release clause which is 50m euros. As of next month it is expected to go up to 100 million. In that case I don't think PSG would pay that much for him if Barcelona don't sell him below his release clause worth. PSG would look for someone else instead.

Dembele has only one year left at Barcelona. He will be available for a free transfer by January. Even if PSG can't sign him tomorrow they can still make this happen in January. It will be only up to the player's decision to go there or maybe extend with Barcelona for another year.
I think Dembele has stayed too long at Barcelona and it is time to find another challenge elsewhere before he starts losing his value gradually and one day will be forced to leave the club either as a free agent or will have his contract terminated. I think the offer from PSG is a good opportunity for him to take his career to a new level, playing in France shouldn’t be a problem for him because he is good and still has the energy and momentum to succeed there.

Arsenal are said to be interested in Kvaratskhelia and Kudus both. But I don't know if they are still willing to spend much more money now. Especially Kvaratskhelia's cost would be very high for them. Both of them are really skilled players so transferring even one of them would be quite beneficial for Arsenal.

I think Napoli's demand for Kvaratskhelia will be very high. There is no release clause for him and I think they would want 100 million euros minimum for him. Therefore going for Kudus might be better if they don't want to splurge on a player again like they did with Rice.
I think if Arsenal are to be seeiously linked with a player to play as an attacking winger it will be someone to assist and compete with Bukayo Saka on the right wing. Martinelli, Reiss Nelson and Trossard play on the left wing while Saka operates alone on the right. Kudus is the player I believe  will be consider because he can play on the right and come as a support for Saka in the team.

Chelsea's squad becomes even more mature even though most players were still very young. The quality of the club becomes better and better. It's likely chelsea is ready to compete for UCL spot next season.
Chelsea may not get EPL spot due to strong opponents like Manchester City, but I believe they can secure a spot in the UCL next season. The competition becomes far stricter since newcastle is also joining to be one of big club in EPL.

I saw that chelsea was winning the game against fulham with good score. Chelsea made so many goals from a few games in EPL summer series which has been proving if its opponent shall try to consider it as a threat upcoming season.
Pochettino is not yet stopping in adding more and more talented players to the club. I saw that if he is still pursuing some names to be added into the club before the gone of summer transfer season.

I do like how he was maintaining its positive vibe in the club. Chelsea slowly moves to the right place.

Chelsea are building a very good squad, they have managed to clear out the aged players who are no longer performing at a high level and have recruited young and vibrant players. Looking at the preseason results, it shows that Chelsea will do much better this season with the current squad at their disposal. They show good team work, better connection amongst the players and most importantly they seem to have a better playing style than last season.

Previously, Manchester City managed to get consecutive wins in two pre-season games and today, in the third match of the pre-season, they had to lose against Atletico Madrid with a score of 1-2. Actually I didn't watch this match, but if I look at the match statistics, both teams performed the same as their main squad and in the second half all the players were replaced by second-tier players. But it seems that in this match Atletico Madrid can slightly outperform Manchester City and this narrow defeat isn't too bad either.

I think Pep Guardiola will not worry too much about this because on August 6 they have to focus on the Community Shield final against Arsenal. If manchester city can win this title then they will get 4 trophies before the 23/24 competition starts.
Preseason games cannot be used as a benchmark to evaluate which teams will succeed in the new seasons because historically teams do well in the preseason games and don’t even make it to top four position at the end of the season. Regardless of this fact, it is necessary that clubs play friendly matches to help managers prepare and also evaluate the team’s progress before the season kicks off every season. Judging from Arsenal’s progress so far in the preseasons I can say that the team is improving everyday and gradually developing into real challengers in European football.

Erik Ten Hag has transformed the team into competitors and challengers at his arrival. I must admit that he has made efforts to put together a tough team who today we can say are league competitors and one of the top teams in Europe. Hojlund’s addition to the team this summer will certainly improve them and give the team a better attacking force, they would wish kane was the name been mentioned today but unfortunately that seems unrealistic and will have to welcome the signing of Hojlund.

It seems the deal between Bayern Munich and Al Nasri is done and Sadio Mano will soon sign the contract with this Arabian team because in the recent friendly match between Bayern Munich and Kawasaki, they didn't put this player's name on the list Bayern Munich said on Twitter that he won't be on the list for this game because of the offer he got.
It seems Baytern Munich is waiting to for Kane to sign his contract with them and then they sell Mane to Al Nasr.


As much as I want Sadio Mane to continue his career at Bayern Munich, I also believe this move to Saudi Arabia will be even more profitable and beneficial to him knowing how much he has dropped in form and the fact that staying at Bayern Munich will mean he will not be getting regular playing time under Thomas Tuchel. I must really commend the Saudis for being able to influence these quality players to move away from Europe to join their league. It will be a good experience seeing all these big names coming together again outside Europe to improve the league.

It will be a big blow for Guardiola if the club misses out on keeping Bernardo silva and let him leave, already they have lost a few top players in the first team squad and lost a good percentage of experience in their team. Having Bernado Silva stay will be a good decision for the club as he will play a very important role in Guardiola’s tactical play next season and a good cover up for departed Iker Gundogan and Riyad Mahrez.

One goal chip and one bicycle kick goal

Jude Bellingham and Joselu scored beautiful debut goals in today's pre-season game against manchester united and the 2-0 win has kept Real Madrid on the positive side. Real Madrid appeared with almost all of their core squad in the first half and they took the lead quickly in the 5th minute through a goal scored by Bellingham. If we look at the match earlier Ancelotti used a 4-4-2 formation with Bellingham as a false nine and it went very smoothly.

After that the game got more exciting and after changing almost all the players in the 60th minute, that's where Joselu came in in the second half and scored a goal beyond the expectations of the audience with a bicycle kick. It's only pre-season but Real Madrid are already showing their seriousness for all competitions next season and if they can stay consistent then this is without a doubt the best squad out there right now.
Yes it is only preseason games but what is the importance of the preseasons if not to prepare teams and evaluate their level of readiness prior to the start of the season. Real Madrid played well against Manchester United, what an exciting game as Real Madrid showed their class against Manchester United a with an astonishing win. Bellingham has shown how crucial his presence will be for the team next season.

It is too early for Mbappe to go Saudi Arabia in this time of his career,  honestly going to Saudi Arabia won't be any important to his career and I know him Mbappe won't even make that mistake of going to Saudi Arabia because it is not the best for now. Mbappe still needs to build his career in the European league. Real Madrid are still very much interested in Mbappe and Real Madrid will be his destination . I think Real Madrid will be the best place for Mbappe to be .
It seems Mbappe has made up his mind not to join Saudi club this summer. It’s unreasonable that a young talented player like Mbappe will want to go to a league that’s just starting to gain recognition. Ehat Mbappe needs at this time is trophies and recognition as the world best. All Saudi Arabia can offer Mbappe is money (a lot of money btw) at the cost of his future. Mbappe knows this and at this point I also feel Real Madrid will be the final destination for Kylian Mbappe.

I saw the Premier League Summer Series match between Newcastle and Chelsea very interesting, and Chelsea took the lead through Nicolas Jackson's goal in the 12th minute and lasted until the 45th minute. But in additional minutes Newcastle were able to equalize at 1-1 through Miguel Almiron's goal in 45 + 4 minutes.
and it was a goal that hurt Chlesea because they tried to keep the score 0-1 until the end of the first half but in the extra minutes at the end of time Newcastle were able to level the score, and I think Newcastle deserved it. because they keep attacking to score goals. It seems that in the second half the match will be even more interesting because they have to show their best performance for the summer, especially the new players.
Surprisingly Chelsea’s new signing Nicolas Jackson has been showing potential for Chelsea in the pre season games. He already has 3 assists and a goal recorded for the team, could this mean Chelsea have got themselves the perfect signing this summer?  It’s still early to judge but I am already seeing good improvement for Chelsea under Pochettino. I hope this improvement will remain as the season kicks off next month because most times teams do well in the preseason and flop when the season starts.

I read an article about an opinion of a university lecturer who believed bitcoin can be used to propagate critical thinking and study culture in students.
I’m a bitcoin enthusiast and share the same passion as the professor, I taught my students bitcoin along with other subjects during my one year service to my country, and I have also seen other bitcointalk members take the initiative to teach bitcoin to others. However I don’t believe bitcoin can improve one’s critical thinking, I would agree if he said, learning bitcoin will open the eyes of the students to the world of internet money.

I think Brighton are on a different level since last season. I know towards the end of last season, many would say this is a “one season wonder” for Brighton and they will not be able to keep up the same performance level in the coming season but watching the pre season game, I am thinking otherwise and have a good feeling that Brighton will perform well next season. There is going to be a lot of heat in the EPL this season and I really can’t wait for the games to resume proper.

what would you do if you got money?  
which coin do you prefer to hold for long-term or short term and what do you expect from your portfolio?

opinion?
When you post this question in a bitcoin discussion board, the answers you get will mostly be Bitcoin. If you want a more diverse reply you should move this topic to Altcoin discussion.


If you ask that question from me then I say that I try to hold BTC because first of all, BTC is a modern form of money I think soon cryptocurrency f*** the paper money. then everything should be traded in digital coins like BTC and others.
BTC is now much lower than his ATH which means if you buy BTC at that time it means you can see a huge profit in the future but if only you hold BTC for a long time. it means a patent is required for it. that one also boosts your portfolio.
I think BTC broke his ATH in the year 2025 and make a new ATH on 100k what is your

I used to believe bitcoin will replace fiat, but as I grew older in the crypto space I have come to realize that both fiat and crypto can coexist, the issue of one replacing the other is overrated. CBDCs are already here, last I read the WEF is about to a launch a Universal coin, I believe when this happens, bitcoin price will go up because more people will want a decentralized cryptocurrency.

Sabitzer is a done deal for Dortmund as you know. After Bellingham's departure there was a big space in the central midfield. I was wondering if they would sign another talented youngster to the position. But it looks like they haven't scouted any such player to this position. Therefore they decided to go for an experienced midfielder like Sabitzer.

It is still a good transfer though. Sabitzer isn't only an experienced midfielder. He is a quality player also and a good choice for maintaining their level in the Bundesliga. But still I won't expect Dortmund to just give a long break to scouting new youngsters to the team.

Dortmund's vision necessitates bringing talented youngsters to help them improve their skills. They are mostly sold to bigger teams after that.
Sabitzer will be a good replacement for already departed Jyde Bellingham who joined Real Madrid this summer.  For a while Dortmund have been in search of a replacement for the English man and Sabitzer is the name toping the list of potential replacements this summer but whether or not Dortmund will be able to get this deal done this summer is the question on my mind, there is still time on their side to make something happen.

A coach can be in charge of a national team and a club. But this will not be the case for Ancelotti. He will be leaving by the end of this season next year. He has been assigned to lead the Brazilian national team to the 2024 Copa America. And the competition will start in June next year and by then almost all the leagues in Europe have ended. For now, the coach of Fluminense, Fernando Dinizis in charge of the Samba Boys until the Italian take over next year.

Coaching the Brazilian team will be a challenging task for the Italian because national teams are not like coaching club sides. In national teams, you will have to work with many bodies such as the Sports ministry, Football association, and even the president. He has to face the entire nation and not just a city as in the case of football clubs. The Italian will want to make history with the Brazilian team by winning competitions starting with the Copa America.
If this be the case then it is very likely that Ancelotti will leave the club at the end of coming seasons and will take charge as the Brazilian national team coach. Definitively coaching the Brazillian team will be challenging but the fact that he is already acquainted with some of the first team players at Real Madrid should ease the job for him when he finally takes over at the end of the coming season.

There has been a lot of speculations about the future of Kylian Mbappe, but one thing is certain, there is no way Barcelona is signing Kylian Mbappe this summer because AFAIK Barcelona are still struggling with financial restrictions that will prevent them from making such a huge signing. I see news of Liverpool, Real Madrid being interested in this deal but Real Madrid seem to be the only team in pole position to make such a signing.
