As far as I remember a year or so ago(when Mbappe interrupted what seemed to be a done deal) Perez said they wanted him for free, they weren't going to pay for it. In that case they will have a chance to do it in a year when Mbappe's contract with PSG expires. But I'm not sure he'll fit into Real's squad now...
Whether it fits or not is not seen from what has not happened, if indeed Perez wants Mbappe free, that means waiting is a good opportunity. Because by coincidence PSG still don't want to sell him even though this moment will benefit them instead of having to be in 2024. Regardless of where Mbappe is going later, so far the club that is closer to him is only Madrid and as he said Madrid was his dream club since childhood.
The truth is that Kylian Mbappe has had initial agreement with Real Madrid's president Fiorentino Perez even before the end of 2021/22 season but was surprised by Mbappe's last minute decision to remain at the Parc des Princes by renewing his contract with the French giants in a deal that made him the highest paid footballer in the world as of then.
That been said, Fiorentino Perez is a man whose interest for the player is still very much at it's peak. He still wants to bring the electrifying forward player to Santiago Bernabeu and if PSG fails to sell Mbappe to Real Madrid this summer they'll have to watch him go the Madrid next summer on a free transfer

I think any club that has not performed well in the present season and is not ready to spend good money on signing new players it will be hard on them in the coming season,

The way last season ended, am sure next season will be very competitive, most clubs should be prepared to sign quality player's before the next season is going to start, any club that thinks they performed well in the last season and they don't really need to update their squad before the next season start, they are going to perform poorly in the coming season, next season will be very competitive.

and this is a big sign of potential troubles for Manchester United because if they make the mistake of signing the wrong goalkeeper,
The worst thing that will happen to Manchester united is signing a wrong goal keeper, De Gea made some silly mistakes in the season that ended which really affected Manchester united, if they didn't sign a experienced goal keeper, then they are going to end the season in the position which they don't expect.
Considering his performance last season, I think David De Gea's time as the first choice goalkeeper of United is coming to an end and that's why the club needs to make sure they get a better replacement for the Spanish goalkeeper in this summer transfer window.
I think United's scout team must have tabled the name of some world class goalkeepers that are capable of taking over from De Gea. However, it is rumoured that the club has a current financial crises at the moment which why they won't be spending much on new players this summer
5343  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: June 17, 2023, 09:17:06 PM
Manchester United have to balanced on defender and attacking line, seems with midfielder have been completed with Casemiro and Bruno Fernandez back up by Fred and Cristian Eriksen. I think Manchester United need new center forward regarding Erik Tan Hag always put Rashford as right or left forward. Current Manchester United's forward right now filled by Wout Weghorst and Anthony Martial seems hasn't consistent performance in this season based on how many goals contribution for Manchester United.

I think you're absolutely right with your analysis concerning the positions where Manchester United really needs to strengthen in this summer transfer window so as to be competitive enough to battle it out with other clubs in not just the English Premier League but also in the UEFA Champions League competition come next season.
Manchester United's need for a prolific world class striker that'll compliment the brilliance and pace of Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho can't be over emphasised but I also think they need a good goalkeeper that'll perfectly replace their current no.1 David De Gea because the goalkeeper doesn't seem to be best man for that job right now at Old Trafford

~snip~

Still, people think Erik Ten Hag is guilty of the bad performance we saw recently from Manchester United in the recent games and this can't be true because I think he did all he could do to help his teams but sometimes it doesn't matter how hard to try, a personal mistake from some players can destroy everything immediately. That's what we saw in the game against Sevilla.
Also, Harry Maguire is getting old and I think because of the mistakes he had and his age he won't get any good offers for the next season.
Erik Ten Hag's culpability for Manchester United's recent performance is highly disputable. I agree that he has made significant efforts to drive the team forward, but football, being a collective sport, leaves room for individual errors that can lead to match losses, as was the case against Sevilla. Regarding Harry Maguire, his age and recent errors might indeed limit his future prospects. Nevertheless, United's overall progress this season under Ten Hag's leadership is palpable, and with an impending takeover, I anticipate further growth and better outcomes. They could potentially advance further in the Champions League, thus improving on this season's performance.
Erik Ten Hag for a fact is a good manager who knows how to make important decisions on and off the pitch and also knows how to handle controversial moments just like he did in his fallout with Cristiano Ronaldo before last year's World Cup.
However it is crystal clear to every football fan that Manchester United were ousted by Sevilla in the quarter finals because of his tactical errors especially in the first leg of that encounter. So it's safe to criticise him concerning that quarter final tie against Sevilla

If the Napoli administration chose him, I'm sure he could have done something like this after a long research. This year is a year with higher expectations and Garcia should be aware of this. He has to plan for next year's transfers now. If they want to win the Serie A championship once again, they have to make a good strategy.
I don't know why Luciano Spalletti will just turn his back on Napoli when the star is shining brighter, I guess the guy did not believe in the second time of a good performance like this season, so, he stylishly exited. As for Rudi Garcia, I don't know much about the guy but I believe him as an old player and coach that he would be able to deliver in his own little way. I will not cast much doubt in a good performance of Napoli in the next season, but that is only if they do not eventually sell Victor Osimhen.
It is quite obvious that we are going to see Spaletti come back again, but the fact that he had a high tempo life that asked so much of him and the amount of stress that he had to endure was very high.

I know that this is normal for the job, you get millions and in return you work very hard, there are people in this world that deserves it more, like surgeons who operate and save human lives, and yet managers and players get, it is the old argument I am not going to repeat that again, but the reality is that it is still a tough job and if you have millions, why endure such thing? Napoli fans, players, officers, owners and everyone else would have look to him to get the title again, and he just wanted to not have that stress anymore and rest.
After Napoli former manager Luciano Spalletti won the Italian Serie A title and when the tempo, excitement and expectation from fans was getting higher he decided to draw the curtain which I think was a surprise to so many fans of the club.
Some football managers does leave their clubs after winning major trophies so to maintain their reputations with the club and that I think is what he did

Borussia Dortmund is known to be selling their best players in almost all the summer transfer windows and that is why Bayern Munich will continue to dominate the German Bundesliga for more seasons to come.
Jadon Sancho was sold last two summer before Erling Haaland was sold to Manchester City last summer and now Jude Bellingham has left for Real Madrid. I think the club's transfer strategy isn't concerned by the success of the team rather they're more concerned by how much they make as gains when they sell these players. They might also be lucky raise another great player before the end of next season and still sell him at the end of the season

If they were able to retain the good players, Bayern could not have been dominating the league for years. It takes a consistent team to have great success, it's only financially good to sell a player who can make money without using it to another team.
On the one hand, they are doing something quite logical, they always sell their players when they are at their most valuable and make a lot of money. But their chances of becoming champions are dwindling Smiley
You rightly understand my point on why it'll be very difficult for Borussia Dortmund to end Bayern Munich dominance in the German Bundesliga.
It takes a consistent to achieve success and if the club's management doesn't stop that their traditional transfer policy, it simply means they're more concerned with how much the club makes from those transfers instead of helping the club win major football honours
5347  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: June 17, 2023, 05:50:54 PM
Yes, if Mbappe and Neymar leave then of course PSG's attack line will be weak next season. What's more, so far there are no strong rumors stating about the players PSG will recruit in the transfer market later. Because after all, Mbappe himself seems certain to leave and thus, many PSG star players will also leave. This of course will make the PSG squad next season not in good shape and of course, will have an impact on their performance as well.
Reading last statement from Mbappe not sure he will leave PSG for next season, although he won't extend contract will expiry on June 2024 but has one year left playing for PSG. For Neymar has many time rumor will leave PSG on every season but he still loyal and stay with PSG until his contract over, I think failed winning Champion League on every season has bigger impact with several PSG player issues will leave and join with other team has bigger chance for winning Champion League tittle.

First, PSG need signing new head coach after sacking Christophe Galtier and actually Zidane is the best option for PSG because has experienced winning Champion League with Real Madrid.
I don't think calling him loyal to PSG is fair because as right now Neymar is having luxury salary and bonuses no other club can afford hum just because of this he is staying here even have never been ideal performance which helps to PSG for having anything good in Champions League which is main target for them in years but right now situation is very interesting with Mbappé is also under review about his contract if he rejected to extend his contract then most chances PSG will sell him because they will never like to release him as free agent in next season now next two month are surely going to be interested about this all.

Hopefully we will have good changes in PSG with new coach is also under this all overhaul Zidane is already rejected this job now Mourinho is also under rumors so what is coming next to PSG is going to be full of masala for the next transfer window.
There's every possiblity of Kylian Mbappe leaving Paris Saint Germaine this summer because of the news that surrounds his future with the club how PSG will be losing reasonable amount of money if they persist to keep him at the club beyond the summer.
While Neymar future with the club looks set to continue for at least another season. Neymar injury crises is the main reason why so many clubs are yet to make official request for his services despite how phenomenal he is when he's on the field of play.
5348  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: June 17, 2023, 05:38:39 PM
Whenever we hear about Mbappe's transfer, the name Real Madrid comes to mind. But this matter needs a lot of time to be clear. Because Mbappe will continue with PSG until next June 2024. When he will change the team then the matter will be cleared. Because it is a long time. We've heard various kinds of news about Messi but finally he take the decision. It is almost certain that Mbappe will change the team. However, after observing the financial aspects and his career, it can be assumed that he will join Real Madrid.
If you are saying that Mbappe will join Real Madrid next year, that means he is going to join them as a free agent and psg would not get any money from his move there. Psg would not let that happen, that is why they are trying to force him to extend his contract, because if he does not extent it, there is a possibility that Mbappe who is the most valuable player in the world would leave for free, that will be a huge loss for psg, so i don't feel they will let it to happen. If Mbappe does not agree to the extension of his contract, psg may be forced to sell him this summer.

Yes you are right, PSG has no many choices extending the contract or release it to Madrid I think we all know the right choice if the contract is not extended
Another rumor is related to the problem between PSG and Madrid reportedly the two teams are not in good condition so PSG prefers to release mbappe to another team anyway except Madrid while Mbappe himself prefers move to Madrid, looks like a complicated agreement here.
Kylian Mbappe's contract with Paris Saint Germaine makes doesn't allow PSG to extend his contract without his permission and that's the main problem at the club right now because Mbappe has refused to extend his contract.
It now left for PSG management to keep him at the club till when his contract expires by 2024 summer and watch him leave the French capital for free or sell him this summer and make money from his sale. It's actually a big decision to make at the moment for the club's management considering the amount of key players that's left the club this summer
5349  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: June 17, 2023, 05:31:01 PM
I think Erik Ten Hag already has a potential replacement for David De Gea if he leaves, I think Andre Onana will be the candidate if he will replace De Gea,
Whilst André Onana is a decent goalkeeper, i do not think that he is a good upgrade to de Gea, if Manchester United are going to let de Gea leave, i expect them to replace him with someone who is far better than he is, and i don't think Onana is that guy. De Gea has been quite exceptional for Manchester United all these years, but i think it is high time he left the club, in the last couple of years he has become famous for making really costly mistakes, thus for both parties it is better he leaves now and take up a new challenge elsewhere.
André Onana is a very decent and good goalie that I think is absolutely good enough to replace David De Gea at Manchester United. If Erik Ten Hag can get the services of Onana, it'll surely be a good transfer deal for the club.
For Pep Guardiola to praise the goalkeeper and talk about how extraordinary he is before and after their UEFA Champions League final game tells how great of a replacement he'll be to De Gea at United

I saw on the news that Manchester United doesn't have enough money to hire good goalkeepers and that's why David De Gea is the best option for Manchester United.
David Raya is also another player Ten Hag wants to hire him from Brentford. but I don't think they have enough money for it.

Yeah there's a news of Manchester United having current financial issues and that is why they might not be much involved in this transfer window.
But I think no matter how bad it seems to be at United, they still have the financial strength to get another replacement for David De Gea unless the manager Erik Ten Hag has confirmed to the club's management that he's okay to continue with him as the club's No.1.
5350  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: June 17, 2023, 05:24:58 PM

IMO, I'm pretty sure that in the end Manchester United will be released to the Qatari side. because, the Glazers are well aware that the 5th bit that Qatar offers is the final stage. and if, Glazer still rejects it. that means, there will be a political role that contributes to the acquisition of Manchester United. anyway, this is just based on my personal point of view. one more thing, I'm not a fan of The Red Devils. however, I like what Ten Hag did. he is a coach who can bring Manchester United even better, especially if he is financially supported to bring in the players he wants. and I'm sure United will be a strong contender in both the Premier League and the Champions League. only one thing is lacking, United's players don't have a proven mentality yet.

For the Gunners, this one team is my favorite since the time of Arsene Wenger and its legacy is still being run by the club. now, Arteta has a much tougher task than last season. that's why, he brought in several new arrivals to add depth to his squad. Overall, I am a connoisseur of football. because of that, I have no sentimental towards any team. if it's good I have to say good, if it's bad, I have to say bad, it's that simple.

Pep Guardiola and Manchester City really deserves it shout out to them for they have invested hugely innit and finally won the Champions League.

As for the sale of Manchester United, the entire seems tiring and exhausting, I already stopped following the news update and stopped following Manchester United handles that gets update of it. We want the glazers gone for good. It's the reason most United fans are backing the Qataris to get the club. Talks of takeover are suppose to be finalized this week but nothing really being done.

They may be your best side but they lacked depth, if they had depth, they should have being the side to stop Manchester City from winning the treble. It all went down to Saka not capable of outplaying those defender's, then I knew they was not gonna win the Premier League. Good and best season but failure to get a trophy, made is completely Bs!
The 2022/23 UEFA Champions League season is over with Manchester City as the crowned champions after beating every opponent they faced including Inter Milan who was their opponent in the final.
That been said, I think we should now be more concerned in stopping City from dominating Europe the same way they're dominating the English Premier League. With my assessment, Manchester City will definitely be a team to beat in next season champions league competition
5351  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: June 17, 2023, 05:15:27 PM
Hearing Manchester City are interested in bringing Gvardiol and Kovasic triggers my curiosity to ask what Guardiola is planning for the coming season. Manchester City are in good shape at the moment and still have enough firepower in their reserves, if they successfully add both players to the squad they will be a team to be feared in the league next season.
Manchester City is targeting to spend 120 million euros to get new players in preparation for next season. Josko Gvardiol and Mateo Kovacic two are good Croatia international players that can add to the quality of City. The RB Leipzig defender will be a great plus to the defensive line up and Kovacic have been one of the best players in Chelsea. And the failure to qualify for the Champions League will be one of the motivating factors that is pushing the Chelsea midfielder to depart from Stamford Bridge.

But we have to wait for the clubs involved to announce the deal because the news is that the players and City have made a verbal agreement. Chelsea wants to extend the contract of the Croatian international but the club will have to let him leave if he insists. Chelsea will not make much money from his deal because he is in the final year of his contract. RB Leipzig will make money from the sale of Josko because his exit clause in RB Leipzig's contract for 2024 is worth about €110 million. Will City be willing to make him the most expensive central defender in the world?
Manchester City's current squad is already intimidating to behold when compared to other premier league clubs and that is why I'm so worried about the news that Pep Guardiola still want to spend over 150 million Euros in the the summer transfer window.
Chelsea are doing everything possible to stop the transfer of their midfield maestro Mateo Kovacic from going to Manchester City but with the assured success of being a player Manchester City, Mateo Kovacic will surely do everything possible to become a City player come next season

Yes, you are right, if we care about our family then that will automatically raise our concern for other people who even if they don't have any relationship with us. I think this is something that every human being has, because basically we can't live forever without other people. And when something like this happens, believe something good will come to us for our concern for others, it is a law of reciprocity or a law of nature that will always happen.
Maybe one day, even if it's not us, but our family members who are having difficulties, somehow there will be someone else to help.
Concern for others will lead us to goodness because what we do to others will come back to us later. That way if some people or relatives have problems with gambling, we will know and be able to act on what we have to do, especially if it is our immediate family. And even though it's not our immediate family but other people, we will also help him because we know that helping people, especially those who need help, is kindness. So people with a gambling addiction often get angry and can calm their anger and have the opportunity to talk about it and cure it with our help.
Sometimes when your relative is into gambling, you will not even know but outsiders will be gossiping about it and it is only someone that loves you that will bring the information to you. Especially as anyone can easily gambling with their phones it will be difficult for anyone to know who is gambling or not.
But advices making you to understand your family will go along way to curb addiction only if the person cares about their family.

It seems Barcelona can't give up and they are trying to hire the German midfielder Gundogan because he does not understand and can be an easy target for Barcelona also because of his age he can't request too much salary.
But other than Barcelona, I saw on transfermarkt that Galatasaray also wants to hire this player for the next season and since they can pay him more money I guess the chance for Galatasaray is higher than Barcelona and there is the possibility for Barcelona to fail to hire this player just like they failed with Messi.
I assume moving to Barcelona is a dream for every player and that opportunity cannot be missed for more bucks. La Liga is a competitive league, Barcelona give the opportunity to play in Champions League, while Turkish league is a lower one with less chances to get to an advanced stage with them.
He is old but not that old to move to a less interesting club like that.
I would not want to see Gundogan out of any place I will see him play. Gundogan had a very great season in Manchester City where he won a treble and the best way to celebrate his success is not to go Turkey. He needs to be where he can play actively in the Champions League and Barcelona is much more better for him.
If he feels that he needs money, he should then follow th likes of Benzema and Kante to Qatar for retirement benefits.

That just happened like that, most matches do not end in draw, so are friendly matches, they do not end in draw too. But friendly matches has a disadvantages if you go for one team to win because the team gone for may not play as expected. The best I do choose in friendly match is over 1.5 or over 2.5 because I have noticed that there are always goals in  friendly matches, but sometimes it can end up at no goal scored or under 1.5 or under 2.5 goals scored.
You have idea of friendly matching betting but you missed it somewhere and I also think that is why Op also lost. Friendly match betting is in two types.
1. Nations friendlies
2. Club friendlies
While Nations friendlies always most times end in draw or under 2.5 goals,
Club friendlies end in win and over 2.5 goals. This is the key to succeed in friendly matches bet and it had worked for some times and I am sure it will continue to work.

I wonder who will put up for sale in the transfer market by barcelona. I have some potential names that will be sold by barcelona but so far, there's no official news about this published.

Here are names of the players that will be sold by barcelona.

1 Eric garcia
2 Ansu fati
3 Ferran
4 Raphinha
5 Kessie

I don't even know whether selling all of them will give barcelona 200 millions or not. As far as i know that if eric garcia joined in barcelona as free agent. It will be a bit profitable to sell him in summer.
I don't know about the rest.

Ansu is not willing to leave from barcelona. That means if he will be able to stay even longer. Some players like alba and sergio already gone with free agent and it was not profitable for barcelona.


If Barcelona wants to do clean up, they should do it with care. I don't know how you came up with these names as there is no official link mentioning these names. But my only advice is that clubs find it very difficult to sell young guys and Barcelona shouldn't be an exception. Wr have seen that under Xavi Fati has dropped in form because he doesn't see playing time, if I were him I would go to another club to prove my worth and if I were Barca I will not let him go.
How about Raphinha, such a great talent shouldn't be toyed with by Barcelona at this time.

Ilkay Gundogan is great player and despite his age still delivers great performance whenever he's on the pitch and that's why Barcelona is doing everything possible to make sure they sign him to the club
Galatasaray are interested in him as well which is why they also making necessary arrangements to get his services but I don't Gundogan would chose the Turkish league ahead of the Spanish La Liga and that's what gives Barcelona more advantage to sign him.

Well this league for me is for veterans. All of the people that want to retire go here to earn a few extra bucks because they give the most. But no young player wants to come here to progress in football because the league dosent have quality but i wouldnt be shocked if they paid uefa to join the european championships. But still if they continue like this it will be in the top 10 leagues

The best place for retirement. That's what i call this place is right now. It's caused by saudi clubs are always offering big amounts of money for any players who will be interesting to play in the SPL. It's caused by the main target has not yet reached. It may be different once saudi will be successfully chosen to host 2030 world cup. i don't even think saudi will have very big ambition to sign so many players with big salaries. The young players are always willing to dig their potential by playing in the EU league even longer.
They were only using this as a place to retire caused by they will not able to get a lot of money with remaining time on his career. I think that was the best reason to explain why some big players are coming here.
It's all about money. Let's see how much money will be spent by saudi in this summer.
Of a truth the European based footballers that's been signed to the Saudi Arabian League are all veteran's who are nearing the end of their playing career.
That been said, that shouldn't make anyone think that the league is largely occupied by players over the ages of 30 years because there are so many young Arabian footballers in the league and other young players from other Asian countries in the league and very soon some young European based young players are gonna be joining the league

Yeah I'm also curious about Manchester United's potential for next season from now on. As of Sheikh Jassim's taking over by paying billions of dollars, the transfer window should be much more active for Manchester United side. If they make big transfers to aim more titles next time then I will see Manchester United as one of the serious title contenders in the Champions League.

They are in search of a striker for example. Harry Kane's name has been called with them a lot. But according to The Guardian, they have lost their interest due to not being keen on paying an amount over 100 million euros.

Let's see if they can bring back Alex Ferguson's times who won the CL trophy twice with them.  Smiley
Although Sheikh Jassim has taken over from the Glazers but we still don't know how big their budget will be for the current transfer window perhaps it is still being considered and Erik Ten Hag is still looking for some talent to fill in for the start of the new season.

Harry Kane's price is too expensive but this is still associated with several other clubs, maybe at this time he is still trying to negotiate with several other players, I would be interested if Man United brought in a lot of players in this active transfer window.

I'm sure Erik Ten Hag has the potential for that but of course it takes a process to get back to his former glory.

Of course I talked about it confidently by assuming the new owner would allocate an enormous transfer budget for the club as it is oil money we are talking about. I made this assumption by looking at the Newcastle example though. Because 80% of the club is owned by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment now. And moreover Newcastle's budget was said to be around 1 billion euros once.  Grin

Maybe Manchester United's budget might not be that big but still I assume it would be at least a few hundreds of million dollars. This should be more than enough for Erik ten Hag to build the kind of a team he would like freely. If he can do this then this team should be ready to play bigger in all the tournaments they are in.
Manchester United is still owned by the Glazers pending when the agreement to sell the to the new bidder is confirmed.
So it simply means that Manchester United will remain to continue with whatever transfer strategy and budget that's been put in place by the Glazers until the club is finally sold to another individual or group. United current sqaud for a truth needs to strengthened by signing more world class players which I think will be done in this summer transfer window regardless of who owns the club

Bellingham is joining Real Madrid by the end of this month officially. This was one of the most profitable deals for Dortmund in the recent years though. In this way they can still reach their main target for a season even if they don't make it to the Bundesliga title. This target is to make a big profit in sales of talented young players such as Bellingham. Despite doing this the ending of this season wouldn't be forgotten too easily in my opinion. Because they literally handed over the title to Bayern Munich despite having a comfortable match on paper.

Fans and the board should still be happy with Terzic's work in general. This was really one of the closest seasons to the title for them.

I don’t think Dortmund should be happy with what they have achieved. Having a clear chance like that to win the title and not taking that chance is absolutely disastrous. Probably if they’re going to win the Bundesliga title players who are playing in. Dortmund were going to be a little hesitant about leaving because they just won the title.

But watching what they have done at the end of the season makes me understand why Loklhon is not a long-term destination for any player.
Real Madrid getting Jude Bellingham is great news for both the player and also Real Madrid. Interested to see how he is going to perform in a better club.


I still think BVB got a bad deal with Bellingham, as usual.

Every season you see mediocre players getting bought by big teams for 70-100 million and now Bellingham, one of the best talents in Europe which is already a superstar, is just being bought for 100 million + bonus payments. I don't get it. When it comes to Bundesliga players every team in Europe always gets a discount.
Also, why does Madrid pay the money in partial payment?? When you don't have the money, you should not be allowed to sign new players!

At least often enough those players, after going away from Dortmund, can't continue their rise and performance, love to see that.
In the past, players like Sancho and Dembele didn't meet the expectations. Only Haaland, who left for a laughing 75 million (because of contract) to Manchester City of course delivered. This must be the best deal in history in regards to money spent.


Borussia Dortmund is known to be selling their best players in almost all the summer transfer windows and that is why Bayern Munich will continue to dominate the German Bundesliga for more seasons to come.
Jadon Sancho was sold last two summer before Erling Haaland was sold to Manchester City last summer and now Jude Bellingham has left for Real Madrid. I think the club's transfer strategy isn't concerned by the success of the team rather they're more concerned by how much they make as gains when they sell these players. They might also be lucky raise another great player before the end of next season and still sell him at the end of the season
