Maybe that's not good for Roma to hire Leandro Paredes from PSG because this player was out of the squad in Enrique's team in PSG and they wanted to sell to release this player to use the empty slot for another player they can hire in the next season, I was thinking Leandro Paredes can't find a team for the next season easily because we didn't see a lot from him in the last season, however, there is the possibility for Leandro Paredes to have better performance in Roma and make PSG feel regret.

PSG was never interested to used Paredes service that since this team was trained by Galtier Paredes was several times spend his time on loan to other clubs and the latest is he was loaned to Juventus but unfortunately Juventus weren't satisfied to his performance so they decide not to permanent him and Paredes have no place anymore in PSG especially after Luis Enrique arrived that this manager has starting to sell the players who have no potention with PSG including Paredes

Mourinho is know how to utilized the potention of the particular players and the latest is Dybala that when Dybala contract hasn't extended by Juventus Mourinho has decide to bring Dybala because he know the potention of this player and the result is Dybala can able to being an important player for Roma and maybe it will happend to Paredes too that with Roma maybe Paredes can able reach to his top performance again

It is definitely possible that Peredes will start performing better when he does come to Roma, if that does end up happening though. Romen currently needs to think about players who are better value for money. I don’t think Paredes actually falls into that category. Even though he is not performing at his peak, will still cost a lot of money for Roma.

But I actually agree with @bering that jose mourinho will probably be able to unlock his full potential. And he will also get a good amount of playtime if he does end up going to Roma. But is it going to be worth the money?

Manchester City has added another trophy to their chest. They were the favorites and they proved their worth. City had a greater hold of the midfield and dominated the game. Ball possession was City 74% and Sevilla 26℅ which shows how City had total control. They created many chances and had about 7 shots on target. Kudos to Palmer for canceling En-Nesyri's goal in the second half. If not for that goal Sevilla would have defended their single goal till the end. The match was not rough or physical and only two yellow cards were issued which went to Servilla players.

I never expected that game will be decided by penalties because City has the quality to score more goals. But the discipline and hard work of the Spanish side restricted City's fierce attack. Penalties are a combination of luck and skills, so Sevilla was once again unlucky. The Spanish side has lost this trophy more than any European club. Congratulations to Pep Guardiola's Citizens for adding the 15th trophy since the coach took over the club in 2016.

They finally won the game but they got it the hard way, your analysis shows you only checked the game your mobile football application to check the stats. City couldn't score more than that because the player's to create goal scoring chance was absent in the game.
Erling Haaland also has poor stats when it comes to the finals and semi-finals. It shows that Lionel Messi has the lead over him for the chase of the world best player. Pep is a great coach four trophies in how many months wonderful!
This is the UEFA Super Cup final which brings together 2 of Europe's great teams at the moment so it's only natural that the match will be fierce.
It's true that Manchester City didn't play well in this match, because they had trouble scoring goals even though they completely controlled Ballposition but I still think that's a natural thing and also the victory they won couldn't be separated from the very strong mentality of this team.

I think here we don't have to compare Erling Haaland and Messi, Erling Haaland is a striker. He can't play well if he's not supported by a midfielder who provides a good ball supply for him to score goals and also it's a big game.

The way Manchester City has started this season is really questionable. Looking ahead, I remain hopeful that their gameplay will progressively enhance throughout the season. And I think in the last season Manchester City also started a little shaky. I think that was the time when Haaland was missing a lot of easy chances. After that, they were able to become consistent in their performance. And after that, we all know what happened. So the key is to stay consistent and always try to improve. Just because Manchester City is the champion of the Champions League and English Premier League, does not mean that they are going to defend the title successfully. Performance is going to matter a lot for them.

Yes, Manchester City was able to win the match against Sevilla. But I think we all agreed that we expected a bigger and more convincing win from Manchester City.

With what Manchester city just did today, I think am going to go for Newcastle to have a win on that game because the so called Harland don't seem to find his stride without the help of his mastermind Kevin debryune and since debryune is out due to injury sustained in their first game Newcastle might just have an edge over city plus with the added fact that they did brilliant on their first game.
Manchester City managed to show their quality as a team with a winning mentality, Manchester City's struggle to win the European Super Cup was not easy, they conceded first through a goal scored by Youssef En-Nesyri in the 25th minute. Manchester City who controlled the game, managed to get an equalizer which changed the score to 1-1. after going through a long drama, Manchester City finally managed to add to its trophy collection after finishing the match with a win after beating Sevilla on penalties.

Against Newcastle was a tough match for Manchester City, moreover the players energy was drained after going through a tough struggle in the European Super Cup. The experienced Guardiola will try to find an additional three points for his team, playing at his headquarters will be very profitable for Manchester City, the good news is that Guardiola's troops were not injured in the match against Sevilla.

I don’t think Manchester City is going to lose against Newcastle United. The manifestation of Manchester City's prowess has been somewhat lackluster, if I may speak candidly. It is, but I think the performance is going to get better. I personally think that it is going to be a draw between Manchester City and Newcastle United.

The current performance of Manchester City has not been very good and at the same time, we have not seen too much from Newcastle United. Of course, it is the start of the season, so the results might be unpredictable. And we also know that Newcastle United has become a really good team in recent times. So of course, Manchester City is going to have to work really hard to win this match, but I think this might be a draw. But it is probably not going to be a goalless draw.

I don't get why a lot of people are really amazed on how AIs can do things. Without human touch and input, AIs will not function to a human's liking and would be more of a liability than a tool. In sports betting, those who are versed in the game are more likely to do better decision-making than an AI who can only crunch numbers that is fed on to it by a human or another machine. AIs can do a lot of cool things in terms of automated betting, but I wouldn't depend on it 100% to bet on my behalf in sports.
Using AI bot to making your bets doesn't mean you won't lose a bet, it's even useless when someone with someone who have no knowledge about sport betting now relying on AI to do the whole chunk of predictions for him because he won't know how well to use it because for AI to give you a good result of something you must have good idea of what you're  using it for.
With the use of AI in gambling and sport betting we perhaps might start having more losses in gambling than we're now having making use of our very human intelligence, as our intelligence can't be limited in any form by the gamblingg/casino house but it can with AI usage.

Agreed, it is crucial to highlight the significance of comprehending the constraints and intricacies involved in employing AI within the realm of sports betting. Undoubtedly, AI possesses the potential to wield substantial analytical capabilities and furnish valuable insights. However, it is imperative to acknowledge that AI does not offer an infallible route to triumph, nor can it supplant the quintessential faculties of human decision-making. Although AI can proffer indispensable perspectives and contribute to the decision-making process, it must not supersede the intelligence and expertise that humans bring to the arena of sports betting. To achieve favorable and gratifying betting experiences, it is prudent to adopt a well-balanced approach that integrates AI-generated insights with human judgment, comprehension, and the practice of responsible gambling.

PSG tried everything within their reach to sell Kylian Mbappe but all their strength all to no avail. Kylian Mbappe will not extend his contract with PSG, however we have different rumours circulating round his transfer. PSG president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi wants Kylian Mbappe to be in the club, he even tried a couple of times to persuaded the Frenchman to extend his contract which was seen as an impossible tasks. Mbappe stand firm on his decision, he's not signing any contract or leaving the club, he wants to leave as free agent, turning down the gigantic offered.
You're right, Kylian Mbappe seems very confident about leaving PSG at the end of next season and will not change his plans. Real Madrid is the most realistic destination for him as there is interest between the two, but something different can still be expected if PSG manage to find a better solution.

PSG don't want to lose Kylian Mbappe for free, even if it were possible. Kylian Mbappe will try his luck in La Liga with Real Madrid because he is very ambitious to win the Champions League title and become the best player in the world. He believes it will be achieved with Real Madrid and I believe in that possibility.

PSG should have thought about it earlier. Now, even if they want to sell him for some money, they cannot do that. It does feel like real madrid is going to be the destination for Mbappé in the next season. Real Madrid has probably given up the hope of achieving great things in this season. A lot of players are injured for Real Madrid. I have a feeling that Real Madrid has deliberately chosen to not go for Mbappé this season. They are going into the season with just a decent enough squad, and in the next season, they will be looking to make all the upgrades that they want.

It looks like X (formerly known as twitter) has been granted a money transmitter license. This is a pretty big step towards being the financial hub that Elon claimed he wanted to build. As X becomes the everything app, you have to wonder what impact it will have on Bitcoin and even crypto as a whole. Maybe DOGE is finally about to have it’s time come.
I learnt the new Twitter Elon Musk is working on is not going to allow trading cryptocurrency on it. I only wondered if crypto signals or heading whale move signals is also going to be allowed to be broadcast on the social media site, Twitter.
Am also very certain that this move to change the twitter logo is to create a new outlook, instead of having the old one remind its customers of what it used to be, and giving Mark Zuckerberg a yardstick to poke meme at him with the launch of Thread which shares almost similar features.
Since Elon rebranded twitter, all the plans for project X are still a mystery, no one has any information on whether they will use cryptocurrency for their app or not, nobody knows. Elon has stated that they have no intention of creating a new coin of their own, but he has not stated that he will not use bitcoin or doge in the X app.

Changing the brand name as well as the logo of Twitter, I think has a cause and reason for it. As far as I know, Elon likes the X symbol and it was his dream when he was working at PayPal. He once offered to rebrand PayPal to x.com and got fired for it.

Man , I have a feeling that Kane might lift UCL trophy with Bayern and that would be kinda awesome for him after all the suffering he had with Spurs when it comes to trophies or international performance. Also , at the first look of new Bayern team , even if they lost today against Leipzig , they do have a strong team that can win UCL this year.  Cool

We all actually feel that he will be able to lift the Bundesliga trophy with Bayern Munich. But the problem is they have not started the season Well. They have lost against RB Leipzig. And it was also a convincing win for Leipzig. Nevertheless, it is my contention that, during the initial stages of the season, even highly skilled teams may falter. . Because the players are just coming out of a big break in play.  And there are also some new players who are just starting to get used to with the conditions. So I think they will get better over time as a team. it is hard to think that they are not going to win the Bundesliga title because they have been winning that title for 11 years straight.  And even if for a second I think that there is a chance for Bayern Munich to lose the Bundesliga title, I quickly remember that the other teams in the Bundesliga are absolutely stupid and they are never going to actually beat Bayern Munich to the title.
588  Economy / Economics / Re: Real estate vs cryptocurrencies vs business on: August 13, 2023, 05:47:59 AM
Which one would you choose from these and why?
You provided three options that are both reasonable and likely to entice someone who is working toward financial independence to choose them on their own.
If I had a million dollars, I might build a major business for myself, get into the real estate market, and invest in cryptocurrencies.
I'll discuss each of the three choices in turn. 40% of the $1 million should be invested in real estate, 10% in cryptocurrencies, and the remaining 50%, depending on the situation, should be invested in other business ventures. That's how I will utilize the $1 million if I am to have it


Only 10% to invest in crypto? You don't believe in bitcoin and cryptocurrencies? While real estate is considered the safest asset, that doesn't mean it's risk-free, and investing 40% of $1 million in real estate is a lot. If it were me, I would invest 30% in real estate, 30% in cryptocurrencies (bitcoins), 20% in emergency savings and the remaining 20% in business.

When I have such a large amount of money, I will not risk investing in altcoins expecting high returns, and I will turn bitcoin and real estate into long-term investments. I will focus most of my time on the business to grow it to generate more better income streams.
589  Economy / Economics / Re: All millions are from real estate. on: August 13, 2023, 05:31:58 AM
The real estate sector has been plugged with a lot of challenges recently which have made it not to be the most profitable smart investment sector any longer,  because of the infiltration of the sector with so many demands that have made real estate not to be profiting like before,  inflation is over the roof and taxation plus repairs/renovation of the property has made that investment a lot demanding compared to its income and profitability.

At this point,  what investors are looking for is investments that keep them ahead of the tax such as decentralized assets like Bitcoin,  taking into account the risk that comes along with such investment anditst potential gains.

When inflation occurs, no asset is unaffected because when inflation increases, it will affect everyone's economy and that will reduce purchasing power in all areas, not just real estate. 

Real estate is considered as the best investment because of its stable return as well as low risk but to say it is the most profitable investment is not entirely true.

I want to emphasize the part that I have bolded, I do not hope that you are talking about using bitcoin to evade taxes. That will only make the government take a more hostile view of bitcoin. Moreover, paying tax is one of the obligations, responsibilities and contributions that help the country develop, although I agree there are many taxes that are very unreasonable but that does not mean that we should avoid all taxes.

Well, if he does not do very well in West Ham, and if he actually considers reducing his salary, I think there are a lot of teams which will happily take him in the team and will also give him the captaincy. But will he accept a lower amount of salary?

Anyway, let’s not talk about that right now. He is going into a new club and I hope that is going to make things better for him and he will also be able to redeem himself. I know that for a lot of people, it actually seems laughable. A lot of people are going to say that Harry Maguire Redeeming himself is genuinely going to be crazy to watch. But he was a good player. Let’s see if he can flip the switch and perform better once again.
I don't want to dwell on Maguire's issue, I'm just happy for Manchester United for identifying and solving one of the club's problem. Maguire is a skipper and many younger players look up to him and when he goes on the pitch he makes silly mistakes that cause the team valuable points. Someone said the reason for Maguire's struggles at the theater of dreams is due to United's style of play. I don't really support this argument because he has played with 3 different managers at United and it's still the same result.

Concerning his salary, I don't think he would be earning the same salary or more than what he was getting at United based on his poor performance. Though, Manchester United is still going to reward him £10M for leaving this summer window as promised earlier.

I actually do not understand what happened with this player. He looked like the best player that any club could have ever got. But now it looks like he exists only in memes. He just forgot how to play defence. He makes silly mistakes that I never expected from a player like him. And I genuinely do not think that there is actually any logic behind this. It’s not even like he is playing really bad because he is under a lot of pressure. I realise that he was brought in for so much money and he was supposed to be under pressure to perform. But a person cannot be under pressure for the same reason for three years consistently right?

I didn't hear much when Courtois was injured. It turned out that he had an ACL injury, and it seemed to take a while to heal. But maybe it won't be a problem because the transfer market is still quite open so they still have time to shop for goalkeepers. In addition, they currently have Lunin, there is Lucas Canizares, the main goalkeeper of the Real Madrid Castilla academy, and Fran Gonzalez, who is the main goalkeeper of Real Madrid, Juvenil A. Indeed, there are many rumors that Anceloti is hunting for a goalkeeper, Sevilla's main names are Yassine Bounou, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Hugo Lloris, Keylor Navas, but it seems that De Gea's options are also good on a free transfer.


Real Madrid is on the agenda with a lot of injury news these days. First, high potential young player Arda Güler was injured, now Courtois. 6 months is a long time, the goalkeeper is one of the most important players. Their backup goalie isn't bad, but of course they may have a harder time this year. I don't know if they will decide to make a new transfer

Is the Real Madrid training camp so hard to go through? Players are getting seriously injured in recent times in Real Madrid. I know that hard work is very essential for every player. Every player should work so hard that the actual match becomes easier for them.

But what’s the point if working hard actually brings in injuries? No Real Madrid is in some troubles, trying to bring in and fill up the void that has been created because of injuries. It does not matter which goalkeeper Real Madrid brings in right now. It could be the second goalkeeper of Real Madrid and/or it could be Kepa. No one is going to give the service that Thibaut Courtois was able to give.
592  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: August 12, 2023, 11:55:56 AM
It is very reasonable if Maguire is under tremendous pressure because he was bought at a very expensive price by Man United so the expectations are definitely high. He has passed 4 seasons but instead of making a meaningful contribution, he often made blunders that made Man United lose. If he chooses to stay at Man United, the pressure he will face will be even greater, therefore moving to West Ham is a good choice for his career.
It is clear that Manchester United's expectations are very large for Maguire, apart from being brought in at a high price, Manchester United has put their trust in him as team captain. Maguire was unable to repay the trust placed in him, he often made jokes in the Manchester United defense area when he was entrusted with playing. The pressure on Maguire was well worth the money Manchester United paid when it came to signing him, but he failed to make the cut despite being a big signing. He was one of Manchester United's failed purchases, selling him would be much better for him than continuing to survive under the management of Ten Hag who did not include his name in this season's plans.

At times like this, emotions are the least things we should shoulder. Maguire has been comical over the last two seasons, the more he represent Manchester United, the confused he becomes and been a captain, there is no way Erik will want to bench Maguire, it's doesn't make sense to bench a captain, they need him in every match and Erik Ten not removing the tag from him was the best thing because people will think he was judgemental because of Maguire performance, he let the season end and remove him which is very professional I my opinion, he has done waht any Manager would have done from beginning but he let it slide.

Maguire should brace up and accept the challenge of new chapter in West Ham, it was his undisputed performance that brought him Manchester United with good bid. If he do well in West Ham, more demands will follow suit wherever he is but if failed to redeem his performance in West Ham, he should go and rest or consider another profession.

Well, if he does not do very well in West Ham, and if he actually considers reducing his salary, I think there are a lot of teams which will happily take him in the team and will also give him the captaincy. But will he accept a lower amount of salary?

Anyway, let’s not talk about that right now. He is going into a new club and I hope that is going to make things better for him and he will also be able to redeem himself. I know that for a lot of people, it actually seems laughable. A lot of people are going to say that Harry Maguire Redeeming himself is genuinely going to be crazy to watch. But he was a good player.

No, I do not agree that 2024 will determine Bitcoin's fate. I believe some people said 2023 will determine Bitcoin's fate too. The way I see it, no single year will determine Bitcoin's fate.
If Bitcoin doesn't get to a new ATH in 2024 it doesn't mean it can't get to an all-time high in another year.

I agree with you, there is no year that determines the fate of bitcoin, if in 2024 or 2025 bitcoin cannot increase in price, then in the more distant future it will surely generate ATH. The growth of bitcoin depends on many factors, of which demand will determine the majority. So, it's wrong to think that if the 2024 halving fails to boost the price of bitcoin, that doesn't mean it will never go up. The halving was a big factor in creating bitcoin's price rise, but it wasn't the only factor.

By the way, Bitcoin did not fail this year. It showed a lot of positive signs this year and the year ain't over yet. 

Many people think bitcoin has failed this year because it didn't go up in price as they expected, and they blame bitcoin. That's funny, because not a single asset that goes from $1 to $30k is considered a failure. They failed with their plan because they didn't make a profit and then, they blamed bitcoin.

Bitcoin is a store of value,  it can converted from one currency to another without losing any value. 

Honestly, I used to think like you, bitcoin is a store of value. That's not wrong, but given its high volatility, I don't think it's a good store of value, especially in the short term.

I disagree with your statement, when you bought bitcoin for $50k, and now you need to convert it to fiat while its value is only $29k. How can you say it doesn't lose any value? I agree with all arguments that bitcoin is a decentralized currency, an asset that is worth investing in and provides us with the privacy we need financially. But I would disagree in saying that it is a good store of value due to its instability.

    -    If you are a long term holder, you should not ask if you are going to wait for Bitcoin's value to drop, instead when you have Bitcoin to buy regardless of its current price, buy it, this is the DCA (Dollar cost average) method. you are saving for the coming bull run next year.

Because if that's the way you think before you buy, you're not a long-term holder, that's just the way it is, the one who wants to do day trading activity. So if you ask such a question, it also means that you don't know what you are investing in this Bitcoin business. You should make sure and find out for yourself if you are a short or long-term holder, this is just a peace of reminders.


No day trader would ask that stupid question, I think OP is a long term investor but he is looking for a better price to buy bitcoin.

I know there are some investors in my area who have yet to buy bitcoin because they still believe there is going to be a bigger dumping coming and they are still waiting for that to happen. But I assure you they will have to buy higher than current price because of their greed, they missed the opportunity when bitcoin dropped to $15k last year and now they are still waiting.

OP will be in the same situation as those people if he continues to wait to buy low, while we all know bitcoin is unpredictable. Furthermore, we have a DCA strategy, why don't we take advantage of it?
Those people that are waiting to buy bitcoin in a lower price are only procrastinating and they might end up not having any bitcoin. They wouldn't also make profit from bitcoin bull run because they are greedy and it might lead them to great loss,if they get the FOMO when bitcoin price gets to the bull run. Before they  know it,the bull market will be over and their investment will depreciate drastically.

Such people are the ones that will think that they have been fooled but no knowing that it was their greed that made them to buy at the wrong time. It is better to buy now because we might not see bitcoin price as low as this anymore before the bull run.

Investing without a specific plan and just entering the market with greed will always have bad results. But that is the law of financial markets, we cannot expect everyone to be equally wise. If there are no greedy and stupid people, who will become the liquidity pool for the market? It sounds harsh but that's what's going on. The marketplace is a battlefield, which means there will be winners and losers, without a marketplace, everyone wins.

But what's to blame here is when they lose because of their blind greed, but they blame the bitcoin scam instead of admitting they're stupid, as you said.

Real Madrid should only focus on a centre-forward signing now. I don't think there is any other position which is in a more urgent need to be consolidated now. Maybe a winger can be signed also to improve the squad depth but it is isn't immediate compared to a centre-forward. Benzema has left and his place hasn't still been filled.

If Ancelotti moves on by relying on only Joselu and Rodrygo then I don't expect much thing from them especially in the Champions League. Because maybe they can still do a good work in the La Liga but the Champions League is a way different arena. You should compete there with the best version of your squad as much as possible.

Real Madrid is currently not looking for a striker. At least not in a way that we expected them to. And at the same time, Mbappé has told PSG that he does not want to leave in this season. He wants to complete his contract with PSG.

So is there a genuine connection between these two? Has Mbappé actually agreed on anything with Real Madrid? I have no idea. But I don’t think that Real Madrid coach is going to get a chance. Especially when this is going to be the last season for him with Real Madrid. He would want to finish well with Real Madrid.  But if there is any involvement from the Real Madrid owner, it might be a different story.
597  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: August 11, 2023, 05:03:03 PM
In terms of player quality I like Roma's squad. It is at a quite nice level which is enough to be in a fight for top 4. But the main problem is that in some positions there is an issue of depth. I mean squad depth should be improved by increasing the number of players for specific areas.

Left-back, midfield and left-right wing areas can be secured much more by signing new players. Because especially for left-back and wings there is a small number of players. In case of injury, suspension and so on Roma might have to deal with big issues and this can affect their performance badly as well.

The reason why they are not able to increase the depth of the squad is because they do not have much money to work with. Providing the coach with a modest increase in funds would undoubtedly result in a superior team, relieving concerns regarding the quality of their performance. One or two players are injured.  And injury can happen at any time. And if the players are able to stay out of injury, it is obviously great. But that is not possible all the time. It does not matter how careful a player is, he can always pick up an injury.

I will say that if they are able to fix the problem with the depth of the squad, they can certainly finish in the top four.

I know there are some investors in my area who have yet to buy bitcoin because they still believe there is going to be a bigger dumping coming and they are still waiting for that to happen. But I assure you they will have to buy higher than current price because of their greed, they missed the opportunity when bitcoin dropped to $15k last year and now they are still waiting.

OP will be in the same situation as those people if he continues to wait to buy low, while we all know bitcoin is unpredictable. Furthermore, we have a DCA strategy, why don't we take advantage of it?

There is no denying that the potential of bitcoin is huge and the price increase is almost certain, but after all, we have no proof for that and it is all hope. So putting all hope in bitcoin is not a wise decision. I mean, if it doesn't go as we expected, we'll be very disappointed. So always prepare yourself with a plan B so you don't have to be too confused if things don't go as planned. All predictions and expectations point to 2025, but what if bitcoin doesn't rise by that time? Would you still believe in bitcoin and keep holding it? We need a plan for that.

Investing for 2025 is short term planing and if Bitcoin didn't pump in 2024, as a determined dreamer you have to continue holding. Investing in Bitcoin should be for future profits and that future doesn't have a date but until you become profitability to your target then it's the future.

You don't have to do too much to be profitable in your bitcoin investment, all you have to do is invest and hold and to achieve that you need to have other sources of income. Depending on just bitcoin for suitability is wrong because the market is very unpredictable  and volatile.

All those that hold bitcoin and don't get easier scared by the market volatility will make profits in the future if you want to be among those set of people you have to invest in Bitcoin and keep holding until the market gives you profits you expected when you invested into Bitcoin.

That's what I'm talking about, many people are putting all their faith and hope in 2024 and they think bitcoin will hit a new ATH to bring them financial prosperity. But the future is unpredictable, so be prepared even if bitcoin doesn't rise and doesn't hit ATH in 2024. We should also continue to be consistent about holding bitcoins for much longer, and to do that we need a job, or other source of income other than bitcoin. Don't just focus on bitcoin and depend on it only in the short term.

The Harry Kane transfer saga is coming to an end and it is reported that Bayern Munich have reached an agreement with Spurs for Harry Kane for a fee of over 100 million euros. We can see that this is a very fantastic price for a pure striker who will soon be 30 years old and we also know that Bayern Munich do not give up and had several offers from 70 million euros to 80 million euros before being rejected by Spurs. This makes him Bayern Munich's most expensive signing so far and we can finally see Harry Kane lifting his first trophy in his professional football career in many years. Now the final decision rests with Harry Kane as both teams have agreed on his transfer.
As many expected of Harry Kane, he chose the right path to end his career with Tottenham. Everyone would agree with this decision because with Bayern Munich we can see Kane develop more at the right club and see him lift trophies. Bayern Munich struggles paid off at the end of the transfer window. Now Tottenham needs to improve so that it doesn't drag on too late because of Kane departure. There are still many talented players out there that they can take advantage of if Tottenham really thinks about the future of their club.

Well, according to what I predicted, if in the end Kane's transfer to Bayern Munich will reach an agreement. although it has not been declared officially, the indications in a positive direction are increasingly wide open. referring to reports Romano, Bayern and Tottenham have agreed a deal in principle for Harry Kane - a package worth over €100 million. next report, now it's up to the player, Kane will have to make a final decision soon after long negotiations.

Take a look at what Romano reported. now only one step away for Bayern to bring Kane to the Allianz Arena. Tuchel could be content with this deal, he could focus on other things once Kane's transfer has been made. at least with Kane in the Bavarian squad, Bayern already has an established center forward and can be relied on when it comes to scoring goals. besides that, Bayern also still has Coupo-Moting as Kane's backup.

On the Spurs side, if this transfer has been agreed by all parties, it means they will lose their mainstay player. but in this way, at least this can be something positive for the sake of changing the team's squad itself. Spurs can look for new talent, and provide other players to show what they are capable of. for example, Richardson. or, the Spurs could bring in newcomers from the sales money of their star players. Well, we are just waiting for the final phase of Harry Kane's transfer.

In my humble perspective, I firmly believe that the convergence of Tottenham and Harry Kane in making this momentous choice deserves significant commendation. Especially Harry Kane had become to a standstill in his career. He was not improving as a player in my opinion. Harry Kane was showing incredible performance in 2018-2020. That was the time when I thought Tottenham is going to win a trophy. But it’s a different reality.

So it is obviously great decision by both of them. In Bayern Munich, even if he is not able to win anything, he is at least going to win the Bundesliga title. I don’t know if he’s going to be happy about that. But at least he’s going to get a trophy under his name. And I think for him, that is what matters.
