It seems Buffon is going to get retired soon this season and in a few days or he can just play for one other season because this legendary goalkeeper is still under contract with Parma where he starting on career but it he also got good offers from Saudi teams and he didn't pay attention to these offers. Currently, he is on vacation with his family from the 7th of July but there is a chance to see him getting retired after he comes back.  Currently, Buffon is 45 years old and you could say he is the oldest goalkeeper to defend a team in European competition. Maybe it's time for Buffon to retire, especially at that age he won't be able to provide significant performance for the team he defends. I think Parma must also be aware of looking for a new, younger goalkeeper to start next season's competition and must not continue to depend on the big name Buffon. But if Buffon does the professional thing by complying with his contract of course he can do nothing but finish it. Despite the offer from the saudi league team, I think he should start taking care of his health and maybe not chasing money so much anymore, enjoying moments with family is the most important thing nowadays for an aging Buffon. |

After Harry Maguire will not captain Manchester United next season, now the main captain position will be held by Bruno Fernandes. I think Bruno Fernandes is the right player for this role and I hope he can be a confidant for his teammates on the pitch. Maybe in discussions with the referees he is very good, but when the team is in trouble I don't think he has the soul of a leader in those situations and often the player who can get a squad motivated again is Casemiro. I had thought that Casemiro would be the next main captain for Manchester United because he has a great leadership spirit, but it seems that Erik ten Hag has again appointed the captain of a player who has lasted quite a long time at this club.

Another experienced player who transferred to Inter Miami was Sergio Busquets.The 35-year-old experienced player has left Barcelona.It was a good adventure for him.We are talking about a player who has served and played for Barcelona for 15 years.This transfer took place without a transfer fee.
Barcelona, on the other hand, transferred Oriol Romeu from Girona for a fee of 3.5 million euros. Although the player is 31 years old, he is an experienced player who knows the league and can be useful for Barcelona.
After not defending Barcelona again starting next season, Sergio Bosquest determines his future by meeting Lionel Messi in one team in MLS. Maybe for me this is not too surprising because the harmony of former Barcelona players is still very much felt even after not being in Barcelona anymore. Then it was also reported that Inter Miami is trying to bring in Jordi Alba on a free agent status and at the same time will make a reunion with the two previous players.
 Source: https://twitter.com/barcauniversal/status/1681693210827948033Regarding the latest transfer of barcelona Oriol Romeu, I got a source that is quite reliable and there is something quite strange, even though the transfer fee is listed as 3.4 million euros, it seems that the actual fee is 4.5 million euros and that makes Oriel Romeu have to spend money from his pocket around 1.1 million euros to pay for the remaining shortfall. I think for a club as big as Barcelona this seems embarrassing and very inappropriate to put its players in such a situation. |

Al-Nassr has reportedly started making formal bids for Moussa Diaby from Leverkusen and the cost will be around 43 million euros plus add ons. I think he's a talented young player and has a lot of potential to become a great player. I never thought that a young player would also be interested in playing in the Saudi league team. On the other hand, he has also received an offer from Aston Villa and now it looks like Diaby is considering where his future will take him. Even though Aston Villa started to rise last season in the EPL and it is very likely that they will continue to improve significantly in terms of performance, after that it could become a springboard for Diaby to continue his career at Europe's top clubs. But if he is really interested in making money then at the same time he will end his football career in Europe. Source: https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1682021941501214720 |

Al-Ahli is getting closer to an agreement with Riyad Mahrez and it was reported today that everything will be finalized. However, it seems that getting Riyad Mahrez did not make Al-Ahli feel satisfied quickly and they immediately sealed another deal with Allan Saint-Maximin from Newcastle. This means there will be around 4 new recruits for Al-Ahli this summer including Roberto Firmino and also Eduard Mendy. I couldn't stop thinking that the transfer went so fast and everything felt so easy for a Saudi league team to be able to sign this European player.

Kim Min-Jae was a magnificent player last season, he played for the eventual champions and he was a great reason why they won as well because he locked the best players down very well. I am not saying this is the type of player that can go to UCL and lock Haaland and Mbappe, that "may" not happen, which it could too, but I could easily say that he is a much better defender than what Bundesliga requires and that's why I believe that they are going to be doing fine.
I believe that we are going to see him be a beast at Bayern and Tuchel will efficiently use him. He is also young as well, which means that he could play maybe like another 10 years for them as well, that should be possible and they can get the most out of him.
By bringing in Kim Min Jae, of course Bayern Munich knows very well the problems he faced last season and one of them is the defensive position. Therefore, with Kim Min Jae, it is hoped that he can strengthen Bayern Munich's defense next season. I think the bad results in the bundesliga last season must also be a priority that must be addressed so that Bayern Munich is more consistent with a strong defense because it is very unfortunate if they often get consecutive draws like last season which allowed Dortmund to catch up with the difference in points. As for the champions league, I think that even if Bayern Munich faces other strong teams they will try to stop every attack from their key players and I think they with the current squad are quite capable of dealing with that. I think every player must be based on a more mature character so they can be more motivated not to give up under any circumstances. |

 The following is a list of teams that will enter the Champions League group stage next season and we can see a total of 26 teams that will fight each other for a place to qualify for the next phase. All of these teams will be divided into several groups and are highly anticipated for the draw round. Is it possible that we will later see a group of hell that contains all the strong teams and if that happens it will definitely be very exciting to watch all the matches. But I have my own hopes regarding which team I think will be the group of hell, namely Manchester City, Manchester United, Real Madrid and PSG, but the possibility is very small. If from you, who deserves to fill in the hell group later? |

It's clear PSG don't want to sell Mbappe, it's the attitude shown by Mbappe that forces PSG to sell him immediately instead of letting him go as a free transfer next season. PSG just lost Messi who chose to join Inter Miami, Mbappe's departure will further complicate PSG situation because they lost two important players at once.
PSG will certainly find it difficult to find an ideal replacement for them, especially since the stock of quality strikers available on the market is currently very limited. Enrique, who has just been appointed as the new coach, will experience problems in strategizing if the agreement with Mbappe reaches a dead end, he must make several changes to keep PSG's performance on track, without a goal machine that fills the striker position in the squad he leads, it is difficult for Enrique led PSG to success in the Champions League.
yes, Enrique has serious problems to form his team with some problems and also good players who leave the team. it is very likely that Mbappe's departure will cause PSG's front line to experience problems. Enrique must immediately think about getting a striker with good quality. otherwise, this season could be the worst ever for a wealthy club PSG. Of course fans don't want to see that. maybe in Ligue 1 PSG can still compete, but in the Champions League when they meet strong teams they will have a hard time without a good squad. I don't think losing a few star players won't make Luis Enrique confused this time around and he's definitely got something ready that will help PSG improve next season. Even if Mbappe leaves, PSG will not be in big trouble because this team is filled with more average players at this time, so they won't depend on just one person. On the other hand, if I'm not mistaken, Vlahovic is predicted to fill the striker position if his transfer process from Juventus goes well and that means Mbappe's position will return to the left wing next season. Especially now that PSG still has Neymar and of course they won't be confused by the depth of their current squad. When it comes to the champions league, I think PSG's level will still remain the same, that is, at least advance to the round of 16 and for Ligue 1, there is no doubt that they will remain the defending champions. |

Real without Benzema can expect very difficult times indeed.... Especially if they can't find any good top class attacking player.... But still all the talk about Mbappe is just rumours for now.... He probably won't play for Real this year.... And there's probably nothing wrong with that for either of them....
After being abandoned by Benzema, Vini is now the leader for Real Madrid's attack line. I think this young player is enough to make a new breakthrough for next season because we know that there are no senior players who will lead the attack line later. Even so, I think with Modric and Kross they can all still play as usual and not be too burdened. In the next season, all players must be prepared with the experience that has been passed down from the previous season and for players who have just joined, of course they cannot be left behind if they want to continue to grow. Rumors of Mbappe will gradually start to disappear again and without any clarity until now, of course, Real Madrid only has one striker at the moment, namely Joselu. |

The result of friendly match between Chelsea vs Wrexham is really outstanding, they beat Wrexham for scored 5-0, Ian Maatsen who's from Chelsea Academy scored 2 goals. This is a big achievement compared to other European teams where they only with 1-2 goals margin, I think Pochettino will include Maatsen in Chelsea international team. Does this a sign Chelsea will be a strong candidate in the next season?
I didn't even believe before that Chelsea could score 5 goals in one game and even though this was only a pre-season match, the effect was quite felt for the development of Chelsea's players. Pochettino became the figure behind Chelsea's big win and with his ability was able to provide good results for the Chelsea squad. Most of Chelsea's starters are filled with players with an average age of 20 years and they play very loosely without any burden. Even if you look at the process of the goals that were created, it doesn't look like Chelsea did it and they were very fast when they made one-two passes with other players. Ian Maatsen became a striking young player in this match because he managed to score a brace. I don't think Chelsea can be said to be a strong candidate for the championship next season, considering that this is only a pre-season match and it's possible that if they compete with the top 4 of the standings, I think they can do it. |

After going through rumors for several weeks, Liverpool and Al-Ettifaq finally reached an agreement to sign Jordan Henderson. In these negotiations Jordan Henderson agreed to a contract for 3 years and the cost is around 12 million euros plus add ons. It looks like Steven Gerrard is very adamant about signing Jordan Henderson and with this we will see the two former Liverpool captains join the same team in the Saudi league starting next season. I didn't think that Jordan Henderson would agree to this transfer and maybe again the salary offer that was given was very tempting for any European player at this time. Source: https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1681705250091147265Henderson is certain now and it remains to see if Fabinho will do the same because we know that Fabinho is also rumored to be walking to the Liverpool exit door and moving to Al Ittihad. Currently it is reported that they are ready to provide 40 million as a finalized price for Liverpool and that means Liverpool are really overhauling their midfielders and regenerating younger players. Now with Fabinho leaving, it is likely that Liverpool will make a bigger move for Manchester City's Kalvin Phillips to provide regeneration especially if Fabinho really leaves then they will get an opening for a defensive midfielder. Indeed, the door for Liverpool's midfielder next season is increasingly open for any player to be able to fill it in and after Henderson and Fabinho leave, there will be a place left. We know that Henderson and Fabinho are no longer young and Liverpool are currently in need of regeneration, but the fees offered from Al-Ettifaq and Al-Ittihad are also very tempting for Liverpool. Surely Liverpool will be very happy to accept the offer and now it remains to be seen what the next step will be for Fabinho whether he wants to join Al-Ittihad or not. Liverpool have actually brought in two new midfielders, namely MacAllister and Szoboszlai, thus leaving one place in the defensive midfield and must be filled immediately after Fabinho leaves. I think the Kalvin Philips rumors will come true considering that he also rarely gets minutes to play at Manchester City and Jurgen Kloop doesn't need to be confused if he really wants to come to Anfield. |

That's right, it didn't take a year for the Saudi league to succeed in bringing in these European players and of course the magnet that attracted them to join the Saudi league team was the abundant salary each season. We can see in the picture that one person is sitting waiting for his friends to join, namely Cristiano Ronaldo and unexpectedly, after 6 months, other European players have started to follow in his footsteps to be able to make a lot of money in the Saudi league.
Clubs in Saudi Professional League are richer than clubs in Chinese Super League and they have smarter strategies as well. They don't repeat what Chinese Super League clubs did by signing with average or just a little bit good like star players from Europe. They decided to sign with a super star like Cristiano Ronaldo to make noise and make their league more attractive for European star players. They picked a good time to excecute their plans after a World Cup 2022 in Qatar so that Middle East already got attention from European football fans. The transfer of Cristiano helped the league to get more television rights in Europe and the whole league is more exciting, more attractive for people in Europe. Well, we are still waiting for more European players to come to this league before the summer closes. Anyway, I also found a picture on twitter which is quite interesting and it is the transfer of European players so far to saudi league clubs except for Cristiano Ronaldo who first joined last winter.  Other star players followed Ronaldo to join Saudi Professional League and they succeed to have Karim Benzema but failed to have Lionel Messi. I believe they will have more legendary players from Europe and maintain this like five more years will help to increase their league quality a lot. For that matter it is clear that the Saudi league is superior to the Chinese league and maybe in the past the Chinese league would not be able to bring in players like this. On the other hand, as far as I can remember, the one who was most attached to transfers to the Chinese league was a player from Chelsea, namely Oscar, who joined the Chinese league team and that had surprised people. Even though he was in his prime and he chose to join the Chinese league to get an abundant salary. But indeed, all this did not last long because Europe's top leagues still have the magic of the two GOATs, namely Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, so that everyone prefers to watch all the matches of the young talents within the scope of these two players. A landslide victory for the Saudi league was to succeed in signing Cristiano Ronaldo and at the same time he could no longer compete in Europe, so even a big offer would be very tempting for Cristiano Ronaldo. But his influence and exposure on the pitch has always been a breath of fresh air for other players to follow in his footsteps. But it's a shame we can't see the rivalry of the two GOATs in one league competition and Lionel Messi prefers to enjoy his old age in MLS. In my opinion, with no two GOATs in one competition, they can still prove their competition to influence other European players to join the league they currently occupy. |

Vlahovic deal is expected to be announced by PSG in the near future. They must be finishing the agreement and signing behind the scenes. This will push Juventus to sign a new striker to fill his place. That striker is probably going to be Lukaku for now. I assume Allegri would like to continue to adopt a formation with two strikers after he comes.
Lukaku is used to playing like that and he would be more useful in that way. He can play beside Milik mostly and sometimes with Kean as well. Inter officials got very angry after hearing about his negotiating with Juventus for more money. Inter is just a dream for Lukaku from now on.
It's like there are advantages and disadvantages for Juventus. Their disadvantage is losing an attacker who always contributes fully to the club and the advantage is that they can get large amounts of money for one transfer. I think this is the right decision for Juventus and maybe they really need more funds so they can manage their finances and can also bring in other players. Last week rumors of Lukaku wanting to join Juventus were also the reason for Vlahovic's transfer to PSG and at least Juventus have a pretty good replacement striker for next season. Allegri is known for his two attackers and he is a coach who still maintains the old formation pattern in the Italian competition. |

I can't overlook what Spalletti did with Napoli as well. It was really something else. After more than 30 years Napoli won another Serie A title in a really magical way. It was such a dominant one that it would never be forgotten in team history for sure. He could have stayed and worked for maintaining the success but he didn't want the continuation of this relationship anymore. Because he believed that he didn't have any energy left to maintain success.
Now he has even given a break for his job. If the situation is really like that then I believe he did the best for himself. Hopefully Rudi Garcia can keep Napoli being competitive.
I think the Napoli players will have to get used to being without Spalletti in Serie A next season and they will adapt to the new coach later. Spalletti is a great coach and I think the reason he didn't want to continue with Napoli is because he doesn't want to taint what he achieved last season should he fail next season. Surely anything that Spalletti has given will be an extraordinary experience and they cannot if they continue to reflect on the current situation. The Napoli players have to give all the best for the team and also the new coach, namely Rudi Garcia, but even if we dream, it will not be easy to achieve in a short time. We just have to see them show it again and prove it with coach Rudi Garcia. |

 Today Lorient announced its new player and he is Benjamin Mendy. Maybe we forgot a little about this player and after I remembered and then looked for information he was a Manchester City player. He is also a former French national team player who won the 2018 world cup and at that time his career was indeed very good. The last time he played football was defending Manchester City in 2021 and that was already two years ago he has never returned to the field. But maybe he was really unlucky that he had stumbled on cases of rape against several women and he was recently proven innocent. Well, I think it will be a new journey for Benjamin Mendy with Lorient and his contract will last until 2025. |

 Milan has officially announced its newest signing from AZ Alkmaar, namely Tijjani Reijnders. He is a central midfielder and it looks like he was brought in as a replacement for Sandro Tonali who first went to Newcastle a few weeks ago. He is still quite young at 24 years old and the transfer fee is not too expensive, around 20 million euros. Tijjani Reijnders will be at San Siro until 2028 and this is a long-term contract for Milan. It seems that the profits from the sale of Sandro Tonali can be put to good use by Milan to recruit new players. Now Milan just needs an additional striker for next season's competition and I haven't seen any rumors regarding which striker will start in the future. |

this beautiful cartoon currently shows the situation in the current transfer window. K. Benzema, R. Firmino, N. Kante, R. Neves, K. Koulibaly, M. Brozovic, S. Milinkovic-Savic and E. Mendy are just a few players who have followed the path of big money and left the european football stage for the saudi arabian pro league  That's right, it didn't take a year for the Saudi league to succeed in bringing in these European players and of course the magnet that attracted them to join the Saudi league team was the abundant salary each season.

Joao Felix's statement is true that he wants to join Barcelona and he is very, very happy if he can later be in his childhood dream team. This is quite surprising whether he really doesn't feel comfortable at Atletico or he really wants to be able to win a title if he joins Barcelona, because at least if he joins Barcelona then his chances of winning the La Liga title will be very open. But indeed Barcelona's current financial problems make it impossible for Joao Felix to join.
Initially, Joao Felix played at Chelsea but Pochettino did not want him to be in the main squad, so with the status of a loan player Joao Felix was returned to Atletico Madrid where he himself no longer wanted to play for the club. When there is an offer from the Barcelona club he will automatically take it with pleasure and will not refuse it at all, as well as his dream club as if he will be given a way to get out of Atletico Madrid. It's true that Joao Felix's fate is quite unlucky, even though he looks very comfortable at Chelsea but with Pochettino he can't get his name into the squad list. It must be admitted that his talent is now starting to fade if it is not immediately handled by the right team and maybe when he returns to Atletico he will feel that he cannot develop his talent. I think this situation looks complicated for the future of Joao Felix and even though barcelona are interested in signing him it could happen, but of course barcelona cannot pay the full amount and maybe barcelona will make several installments to pay it off. Well, if later there is an offer from Barcelona and Atletico agrees with an installment transfer fee, I don't think that's a bad thing, especially since Joao Felix is also a very good player. |

       The season has been 22/23 over since last June and EPL teams are the most active in this transfer window. Several teams compete with each other to bring in their newest recruits and I'm trying to take some of the newest recruits here. There are Mateo Kovacic, Kai Havertz, Alexis MacAllister, James Maddison, Dominik Szoboszlai, Mason Mount, and finally, currently the most expensive English player, Declan Rice. If from me from that list, I choose Mateo Kovacic as the best transfer so far because he joined the best team at the moment, namely Manchester City. His talent would be a shame to continue at Chelsea and with the ingenuity of Pep Guardiola I think he will be even greater. Who do you think is the best transfer so far and state why? |
