Pep Guardiola is not only a great coach but in the figure of a shrewd coach. He has proven capable of inventing tactical innovations for every team he leads. Since he first handled Manchester City, he has been able to make Manchester City's game always develop from season to season. Last season, Pep Guardiola changed John Stones' position from a central defender to a defensive midfielder. Then, there is Manuel Akanji who has been transformed into an all-round defender.
Indeed, it is worth admitting that the tactics possessed by a Pep Guardiola are very great because they are able to change players for the better on the lines he wants so that the Manchester City team really looked stronger last season and this was proven by the treble winner they got. Next season Manchester City will still be very strong even though several other teams are also trying to get stronger, but Pep Guardiola will of course always make a better tactic in order to get another treble winner next season.
To achieve a treble winner in a row is indeed very difficult because there is no history of a manager or a club that has been able to achieve a treble winner in a row. However, as a coach, Pep Guardiola has set a record for being the first coach to be able to win the treble twice with different clubs. Next season Manchester City remains a candidate for the championship in the premier league and champions league. Not because City is the defending champion, but as long as there is Pep Guardiola as a coach, Man City has always been a champion candidate.
This is possible in EPL and other local league that is mostly dominated by few clubs, but in champion league which is made up of champions from the different domestic league, it will be a very difficult task to accomplish. Pep Guardiola may not go that far by next season. Reason being that a good number of clubs has joined the raise due to the efforts of last season. Many are getting their system set for the champion league and other top contenders like Madrid, Bayern,  PSG, who left the tournament last season, will be coming back with a different fight g spirit. Guardiola is a legendary coach, but next season's champion league will be a tough fight for him.

But can't guarantee with Mbappe extend one year or until his contract over on June 2024 although has participant on presenting new jersey for PSG next season.

Kylian Mbappe's appearance with Paris Saint Germaine's home kit for next season will indeed be a great news for the club's fans who surely wouldn't be happy to see their star man leave the club.
However, it might also be a bad news for club's management board because next season will be Mbappe's last season with the club as stated in his current contract with the club. Which means that if Mbappe doesn't renew his contract with club before the end of next season, he'll surely leave the club for free come next summer transfer window

Bayern Munich in the hands of Tuchel seems to really need a big overhaul for next season. Some of the players they have targeted in the transfer window are quite good, especially Harry Kane who is believed to be the right sticker for them for next season. But one of the things that was very difficult for Bayern Munich to get Harry Kane because the price clause that Tottenham wanted was quite high.

Tuchel will bring several new players to the depths of the Bayern Munich team, especially they have got Kim from Napoli. And I think they are trying to convince Tottenham to let Harry Kane go in a second bid later.
I think Bayern munich last season almost didn't get the Trophy but in the end they were able to get the Bundesliga trophy after Dortmund couldn't make good use of their last game. Thus, of course, Bayern Munich will try to rebuild their strength in this season's transfer window. If we look at Bayern Munich, they are one of the Bundesliga teams that has been quite active in this season's transfer window.

Tuchel will try to do a bigger signing to support him to win the trophy next season. Harry Kane is one of the attacking players who has been strongly linked with Bayern Munich and even Bayern Munich has made an offer for Tottenham but the offer was rejected. I think if Bayern Munich fail to sign Harry Kane they will most likely try to approach Osimhen or Vlahovic.
Bayern Munich of last season I think is the weakest team of the club that's been seen in over a decade ago and the earlier they do something reinforcement the better for the club.
They need an in form and complete striker and also better defender than Upamencao. Harry Kane surely is the best player to fill in the striking role and also the best that'll positively effect a change in the attacking line of the club. It rumoured that Bayern Munich is doing everything possible to bring him to Allianz Arena and that I think will be great news for the club's fans if the deal is finally signed

I don't believe in that statement, if Real Madrid want to be even better next season then they have to bring in more players because this season they were left behind by some of their main players and even now there are many old players at Real Madrid whose quality has decreased.
The position of attacker and defender is Real Madrid's weak point next season and if the current transfer market does not buy the players needed in these positions, then Real Madrid's strength will not be much different from the previous season. For the midfield position they have Bellingham as a new force that can help Real Madrid and I think that position is safe for them next season.
Currently there are some rumors that say Davies still refuses a contract extension with Bayern and is waiting for an offer from Madrid which we know that Madrid also want this player and of course this could be a good thing if they intend to bring Davies from Bayern.
At the moment, the position that Mendy still has as a Left Back is still a bit risky especially with some rumors that Mendy wants to find a new adventure and last season he was also injured for quite a while so this is a special concern for Madrid.
Fran Garcia has actually arrived and can already be positioned there, but seeing the rumors and Madrid's desire to bring in Davies, it doesn't rule out the possibility that this could also happen.
The two positions that I think Real Madrid doesn't possess the required kind of players needed on those positions currently is the left back position and the top 9 position which I know Fiorentino Perez would definitely do something about before they end of the season.
Bayern Munich's Davies is one of the best left backs in the world right now and if there's any chance of signing away from the Allianz Arena, the Real Madrid would definitely do anything possible to bring him to the Spanish capital.

I think that it will never be too late for PSG as long as they stay as one of the richest teams in Europe. They will always have the opportunity in hand to build one of the most impressive squads to be competitive for the Champions League title. While this isn't a tough task for PSG the main problem is not about this.

The main problem has always been management issues. PSG have made so many changes in manager position of the team but none of them was enough to secure a Champions League title. Although Enrique has a different style of his own it is the truth that he is still a Champions League winner. If we see a good chemistry between then I don't see any hindrance for them to do better here compared to last season.
Manchester City also just won the Champions League title for the first time, so indeed it's never too late for PSG and that applies to all clubs. But PSG can be said to be more serious for UCL, they recruit superstar players and does not matter with the cost. Previously, Neymar was the player with the most expensive transfer fee. PSG were very serious about signing players but they were not very lucky and now their hope is in Enrique hands, seeing its historical achievements, PSG should be able to be better than the previous season.
In as much as I don't want to sound like one who doesn't want to see Paris Saint Germaine lift the UEFA Champions League trophy, it is also expected of me to voice out my opinion about the possibility of the French champions winning the UEFA Champions League.
After Lionel Messi's arrival at the club two years ago, PSG's attacking line up that consists Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe were expected win the UEFA Champions League competition but they failed to do it despite the kind of quality players at the club's disposal. I don't PSG stands a chance to win the Champions League anytime soon especially in the coming 2023/24 season

As we all know that the age limit for gambling in casinos varies from country to country and can also depend on certain casino policies. And in most countries the minimum age for gambling in casinos is 18 years, there is also in some countries the age limit may be 21 years or more.
and 18 years and over are considered adults, but it is important to remember that gambling can be addictive and can have negative social and financial consequences, so it is important to gamble responsibly and really think maturely and play maturely to avoid addiction.
I don't know of other countries but gambling in my country is strictly for people that are 18+. However because of the fact there's limited number of law enforcement agencies that will punish offenders,  their seem to be good number of under age children in gambling sites

Arsenal will appear with a different face and will appear to be stronger in the upcoming 2023/2024 season. Yesterday in the 2022/2023 season, Arsenal looked attractive from the start to almost the end of the Premier League competition. They were able to dominate the top of the standings before being painfully cornered by Manchester City. Arsenal are even more determined to improve. Moreover, this season they will play in the Champions League as well. Arsenal have also targeted a number of players, including Declan Rice, Kai Havertz and Jurrien Timber. They need improvement on a number of fronts so they can compete for the Premier League and Champions League titles.
Arsenal is not the only team that will appear with a different face and be stronger by next season. Other teams like Chelsea are doing the same thing. They have changed close to about 99% of their players plus the coach. We expect to see a different face and formation in the Chelsea team.
Next season will be a tough one for every team in the premier league because every team is signing quality players to their team. I don't think Arsenal will be dominant in the premier league as they did last season. They miss their chance to lift the premier league and I don't think they will have such an opportunity again
Arsenal for a fact will be a team to beat next season. However, they won't be as a strong force as club's like Manchester City, Liverpool and probably Manchester United.
Last season was Mikel Arteta Arsenal's best chance of winning the English Premier League but failed because of the fact that the club lacks depth and also because Arsenal weren't  competitive enough to challenge till the last day again City

No casino would survive with that kind of system. While they may attract a lot of borrowers, the question remains: can they ensure that they will receive the payment? We are discussing online casinos, where most of us gamble anonymously, so the risk for the operator is very high.

I am aware that some land-based casinos have lenders, but they would not easily lend money without collateral. This collateral serves as assurance since its value is higher than the loan, and the interest rates are typically high. These lenders are often referred to as loan sharks.
Just like in our small store business before. We also allow people to shop for goods and they can pay it later on. Some pays longer like after two weeks while some pays after a month. The outcome is not great and our business fails later on. We have no choice but to have that kind of system because our business location is not good enough.

It wasn't placed in a really crowded area but it was only placed in our own backyard where the customers are mostly the people that we already know the most. The same thing could happen to a casino if they implement such scheme. An active flow of money is important because we will also use it to maintain our service.

This is the consequence of letting someone borrow from your business. In my opinion, small business such as this don't have to add this feature because given that you only have a backyard store, you have a limited capital and source of fund. With that being said, the profit of your small business is what you use to buy products again to make the income flow continuous. Hence, you can't really afford to let your goods be borrowed to be paid later since the money will be stagnant, there will be no profit on your end for a specific time frame. Additionally, you don't even know if they will pay you as soon as possible or if they will only pay if they remembered or want to, since there's no written agreement on this, I assume.

The same way with gambling casinos. They shouldn't really put credit or pay later features to deter those who don't really have money in the first place to gamble. If they don't have enough fund as spare, then do not play or bet. It's not about being greedy or putting up discrimination. Rather it is a form of concern and setting boundaries to keep your business operating and to keep them away from having so much debt they can't even afford to pay.
It deeply baffles me that many people knows very little about the consequences of becoming a habitual gambler which casinos aren't excluded.
It is better not to be involved in the gambling than to know about how it works if a young man truly wants to succeed  by every

That should be showing you how much this league got popular and when you are wondering why they are overpaying players more than what they are worth, it is 100% definitely not about how good those players are. They do not care about that, they all get someone, that's not the point. The point is that we wrote almost 1 page per day for this league, over half a page at the very least. This is why they spent that money, to be talked about, to be known, and to be followed. They achieved it.
Now can they sustain it?
It is one thing to get the attention of the world with high profile signings and it is another to become a top league from the current position of the Saudi pro league.

So far I will say they are doing better then the Chinese league and Japanese league did some years back and are making much better signings. If they do keep this up and also prioritize home grown talents and also better their scouting network they will be on the right track.

- Jay -
For real, it is one thing to get the services of this high profile European players and it's absolutely another thing to sustain it. Take the Chinese League for example. There's was a time they were hugely spending on big European players to get their services  but we stopped hearing about Chinese mega deals after the league management understood that they can't continue to to pay these huge wages.
The Saudi clubs might have learnt from Chinese deals and must have deviced a better meand avoid going bankrupt

Marcus Thuram signing is a really profitable one for Inter surely. Because they signed him on a free transfer. As you know they have been in need of solving the issue of lacking strikers after Dzeko - Lukaku duo both have left the team at the same time. It was quite fast that Inter brought a decent striker already like Thuram.

Thuram and Martinez can make a decent duo hopefully. But as two centre-forwards have left the team I wonder if there will be another striker transfer for Inter. I don't think they are broke now. Whenever we talk about their potential transfers they are said to have bad finances.

However I think Inter are currently in a good financial condition to make bigger signings.
Marcus Thuram is a good attacker and his signing will surely be a bargain for Inter and the fact that he was signed for free makes it even greater deal for the Milan club.
Inter Milan who aren't sure of retaining the services of Romelu Lukaku at the club for next season needed to get a forward player that can play alongside Lisandro Martinez and luckily for them Thuram who was out of contract with his former club was discovered. Inter Milan might be currently facing financial challenges but I think they are handling the situation very well

according to the numbers of votes made in this thread Beşiktaş has 45% of votes, while Galatasaray has 36% of votes, well Fenerbahçe has 18% and in my opinion I don't see Fenerbahçe with any chance (not even one small chance ) of becoming champions, now as for Beşiktaş being the favorite according to the majority of people who voted for this thread, I think it's something I can only see in the first games when the league starts, that's because I've been following some news from Beşiktaş signings but they are news in Turkish and with very little data

it's very hard for me to get a lot of constant news about the signings that each Turkish team is making, but when the league is starting, the news channels that I've been following soon make available the news about each team in the Turkish league, but for now and because last season I could see their performance, I would say that Galatasaray has a good chance of being champion this season again, which would make them champion two consecutive seasons, I don't know how many good players Galatasaray sold, but I see them as favorites to win again new
Beşiktaş, Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe are the three top clubs that possess the strength to win their domestic league. The best club will always have enthusiastic followers, that is a simple fact of sports. One cannot support a club that is struggling to record outstanding performances and followers; they have to patiently wait for the club to become an elite team before becoming supporters. You ought to refrain from rushing to draw conclusions, and I believe these individuals voted for their preferred teams based on personal preferences rather than team performance and analytical information.
Going by the number of percentages the three clubs got, I think I did agree with the fact that Besiktas has got more numbers of winning the League than Galatasaray did.
Galatasaray is a traditional Turkish club that has has represented the league very well in the UEFA Champions League over the years. Besiktas for a fact is a great club with good players that can successfully win the domestic league but I don't think they have a better chance than the reigning champions.

I think Spurs will back out of their £100m price tag for Kane and settle closer to what Munich is offering. They would be stupid if they keep asking for that amount of money since they are the team at more risk of losing a player for free next season. If Man United is going to compete in signing him then Spurs would most likely get more than £70m

True, I personally also really regret Tottenham's actions or decisions which are still holding Kane back from being owned by other teams. Because after all, in the end Kane will also have the option not to renew his contract and can leave on a free transfer. If that happens, then of course Tottenham will lose because they won't get anything and thus, it will certainly be better for Tottenham to accept the offers that come in for Kane.
Tottenham might think that if Bayern Munich fails to sign Harry Kane then it'll be to their own advantage which is absolutely not true. The price tag they've placed Harry Kane is totally outrageous considering Kane's current age and the fact that he has less than 2 years in his contract with the club.

Bayern Munich needs a striker like Kane who can fill in the vacuum that's been created at the club since the departure of Robert Lewandowski but that doesn't mean that they are ready to pay more than 80 million Euros for his services

For the midfield position they have Bellingham as a new force that can help Real Madrid and I think that position is safe for them next season.
The positions of attackers and defenders at Real Madrid have been weak for the past two seasons and last season Madrid also did not fix the weaknesses in that position, making it easy for them to get knocked out when playing in the Champions League.
For La Liga itself, Madrid is strong enough and able to compete with all the teams there, but Madrid's goal is not only La Liga but also other truly prestigious leagues such as the Champions League.
The transfer season is not far away and the games will start at the start of the summer so if Madrid doesn't make a move soon I'm sure they will stay the same in that they will only win the Domestic League.
A defensive line that contains Vinicius Jnr, Karim Benzema and Rodri, Ascensio, and many more, is a good one. These guys are not an easy side to defend against.  Last season was very tough, many against clubs experienced the same. Barcelona's squad ain't as strong as Real Madrid's. Other factors warranted the exit of Madrid from the Champions League. I will opinion that Midfield is the weak part of the team as it is Madrid up of old stars who have already played out their strength. Among these are Kroose and Modric who is still much in love with football, there should be a strong option that can feel In that position for them in some matches.

What about the rumours Liverpool will buy Mbappe? Many local media in my country are talking about this. Liverpool are reportedly ready to buy Mbappe and are willing to pay more than $300 million. PSG executives from Qatar were furious with Mbappe's decision not to renew his contract beyond 2024. This news seems to be released soon, which means that in the near future.

Source: https://www.marca.com/en/football/transfer-market/2023/06/27/649a324122601d16128b459c.html
There is no concrete news because until now PSG still hasn't announced it, but with so many rumors with Mbappe and several other teams also want him including Real Madrid who first offered him but failed and now these rumors are getting busier, but to be honest I will happy if Mbappe is at Liverpool.

Arsenal are also targeting Mbappe, they just want him to become a free agent first, but I think with Arsenal's plan like this it will be difficult to get Mbappe if you just wait for free, while Liverpool are willing to pay 300 million according to the media.

Will Mbappe be in the Premier League this season?
Mbappe has already spoken about his next destination. But He is not in a heist to leave PSG.  He has told them that, if only they are willing to pay him the left over money in his remaining contract he can to leave,  other wise stays till the next season and get his money before leaving. And I believe PSG will have just one option and that's allowing him to play till the end of next summer. Moreover, Mbappe has not spoken about EPL ever since the tails of his transfer came up. Even if Mbappe is leaving PSG today,  his next destination will be real Madrid not Liverpool.

Kane is a proven goalscorer every season. And he did it in a team like Tottenham. Everyone wonders what he can do in a bigger team. Those who doubt that Kane is a star striker do not watch many games. We all agree that the problem is money. But if they want success in the champions league, they should sign Kane.

I disagree with you about cheaper and less capable games. The Munich forward should always be a star player.
If the problem is known and it is because of money, Bayern Munich should be able to solve this better if Bayern really need Kane for their front line next season. Because there is no doubt that Kane is a good striker and is able to score goals in every season so he will be very useful for big teams and also very good for his career in bigger teams. But when the problem lies in money, the solution will not be so easy because teams like Bayern Munich also need to consider spending every money on several players they are currently eyeing.
Bayern Munich currently has spend nothing much in transfer window. It is untrue to say that Kane's agreement terms with them are yet to be concluded because of financial issues. Bayern has money, it could be because of their interest in the Napoli striker (Osimhen).  I presume they are having double interest not financial constraint. Bayern currently has the plan of selling out Marcel Sarbitzer and they still have more player that is of very little or no use to the team,  money could be raised by selling them out.  I don't believe financial problem can stop them from getting Kane.

It seems De Gea will be the net target for Saudi teams and Al Nasr since his contract with Manchester United is over and they asked him to extend his contract with a lower salary and this player didn't accept that, I think De Gea is not going to stay in Manchester United anymore, Also Manchester United is seeking for another goalkeeper.
It seems Al Nasr wants to hire this player and he is going to work with his old teammate Ronaldo once again.
Manchester United just changed their mind after agreeing to keep De Gea. He has made some blunders in recent times but he is still the best choice of Erik ten Hag. The Spanish goalkeeper is one of the highest-paid players at Manchester United. He earns about  £375,000 a week, which is quite high for any other team to afford. Moving to Al Nassr will be his best choice if he wants to still maintain his high wage.

But it seems he is attracting interest from clubs in Spain. Real Betis and Sevilla are also interested in bringing the Spanish goalkeeper.  If he wants to end his career with a good financial package, the Saudi league will be his best option, but if he still wants to play quality football, moving to his homeland will be better. For now, I think the Spaniard is more concerned about his marriage that will be coming up in Spain.
Despite some of the big blunder that he made in recent years, David De Gea is still one of the best goalkeepers in the world at the moment. He win the golden gloove of the English Premier League last season despite United finishing the season in fourth place.
There's report that he's finally come to terms with the management of the club and would continue as Manchester United's first choice goalkeeper but I think he would've never moved to the Saudi Arabian League had he left United this summer

Manchester City have strengthened their team by signing midfielder Kovacic from Chelsea. The player has a 29 million euros transfer fee and his market value is 38 million euros.
Kovacic managed to play 37 games for Chelsea last season, scoring 2 goals and 2 assists in total.
I think they bought him to replace Ilkay Gundogan because Ilkay left City and transferred to Barcelona.Kovacic, who is a younger player, is a better choice than Ilkay in terms of age, but it is not known whether he will be able to adapt to City.

I think Pep made the right choice in bringing Kovacic on board. I am aware of the man's high level of football IQ. Inter, Real Madrid, and Chelsea were three of his prior teams where he excelled. Given that he was given a 4-year deal and that Manchester City will now be more active than they have been in the past, I believe Pep will make him one of his permanent players rather than a temporary one.

Quote
but it is not known whether he will be able to adapt to City.

Why will he be unable to fit in at Manchester City? Naturally, he will continue doing it the way he did when he first joined previous teams; that is how he was when Inter, Chelsea, and Real Madrid signed him, so I think he will adjust to them. What I can say is that we should only hope that he succeeds in helping them by improving their squad, as that was the major reason they signed him. If not, we won't be able to predict how he will act until he begins competing for them. You can see that some players will succeed at some clubs, but they will change when they join another one.
Pep Guardiola's Manchester City is arguably the best player in the world at moment in terms of quality players and style of football. Ilkay Gundogan left the club that won the treble last season to sign for Barcelona and Manchester City immediately replaced him with a world class midfielder in the person of Mateo Kovacic.
Kovacic's arrival to the club gives Guardiola a more experienced midfield players than the rest of the English Premier League clubs. The new season is yet to kick off but with Manchester City's squad, retaining the premier league title wouldn't be as difficult as winning it the just concluded season

There were some rumours regarding Lukaku to join Milan this summer. Is there any update about that? As far as I can see there isn't any development about that. Milan were going to sign him for 40 million euros which is current market value at the same time. He has officially returned to Chelsea now. And his contract is a really long one which is until 2026. I don't know what Pochettino thinks about him but Chelsea must not have any plans about Lukaku from now on.

But actually he can still be a substitute player for Chelsea at worst depending on the performances. If Pochettino insists on keeping him then Milan's plans can be ruined. Milan really need a striker now and it looks like Lukaku is one of the alternatives because his cost is quite low.
There is none, so far there is no situation that he would be leaving, not because Inter and Lukaku became a great duo or something but because there aren't any teams willing to spend a lot of money for him, and Inter do not want to part ways for free after spending money on basically his recovery.

I guess he is going to stay there for at least another season and provide some goals and show that he still "has" that talent, after that maybe they can find a buyer for him to leave with some good amount. Inter also lost Dzeko this summer as well which means that it is going to be a bit of a tough situation as well. I am not saying it will be easy or anything like that, but he could definitely be a good thing for Lukaku since he will be one of the main strikers for sure.
With the latest signing of Nicolas Jackson a striker from Villareal, it simply tells that Romelu Lukaku isn't in the plans of new Chelsea manager for next season challenge. So it's worth to note that either Lukaku continues playing for Inter Milan or he'll be sold or loaned to another club.

Romelu Lukaku is a big player that wouldn't want to come back at Stamford Bridge to be the third choice no.9 striker. The departure of Edin Dzeko I think gives Lukaku more chances of playing for Inter come next season

Yes, injury is an endless nightmare that Neymar feels, almost every time he is constantly injured, even though it is not a serious injury that requires him to be sidelined for a long time, even a minor injury will keep him out and unable to play. Yes, sometimes things like this become a factor where the player has to decline, even though if you look at his actual appearance he is still very good. The decline in Neymar's market value proves that it really has a big impact on his appearance. At a time like that, other clubs will also consider signing him more, because they will also think about why bring in players who sit a lot on the bench to rest.

For now, Neymar is a risky investment. His age and injury-prone nature will always discourage many clubs from signing him. He is a top-class player no doubt but he has been very inconsistent recently. No club will be willing to invest in a player that they are not sure of. Due to his underperformance, he might not give clubs extra income from jersey sales and endorsement deals. Another issue about him is his high wage. He €700,000 per week and I am not sure any club in Europe will be willing to pay him such a wage. Maybe Saudi clubs can afford his pay. There are indications that Barcelona is willing to sign him but the only problem is his wage bill. The deal might go through If he is willing to take a pay cut or PSG is willing to pay part of his wage because, with the financial problems of Barcelona, they cannot afford his wage bill.
In fact, if we look at some of the news that has happened, there are lots of clubs that really want to bring in Neymar, like Chelsea or Newcastle, and of course clubs from the Arab League also want his services.
It's just that it's possible in this case, constrained in terms of salary for big clubs like Chelsea or Newcastle because they realize that Neymar's current condition and age also don't lie, so it doesn't really match the salary that will be given if Neymar really wants the same salary like PSG.
As for the clubs in the Arab league, they are actually ready with the salary given, but of course we know for sure it is the last option for Neymar.

Sometimes I think it is incredible that Neymar still has a 60 million market value because no one is going to pay so much money for a player who is going to be injured most of the season. And the way Neymar is fouled most of the time it is very easy for him to get injured. But on the other hand, it is also true that when Neymar is healthy, he can contribute to the team in a way that a lot of other players, actually most other players cannot.

In the end, Neymar is a great player even to this day. But the problem is the coach is always going to be frustrated when a player like Neymar is not going to be available because of injury at the time of an important match.

Now it's just a matter of waiting for what steps Neymar wants to take because looking at the current conditions I see that PSG will still try to get him out of the club before his contract actually runs out and don't want Neymar to leave for free.
But this also returns to Neymar whether he still wants to maintain conditions at PSG with his salary even though there will be a lot of rebukes from PSG fans or is he looking for new adventures in other domestic competitions with a note that his salary will be slightly reduced. Embarrassed
Of all the clubs that's been rumoured to be interested in signing Paris Saint Germaine forward Neymar, we're yet to to see an official statement from any of them to publicly back the rumours and that I think simply means that probably none of these clubs are interested in his services.
Neymar as we all know is one player that's been suffering constant injuries in recent seasons and that's a big factor that's been limiting other clubs from trying to sign him. He's a big player whose wages can't be afforded by any club abd these are the reason why he'll remain at PSG till his contract with club elapses
