Everton victory vs Brighton was surprising and mixed cards all together. Right now Everton are 1 point away from the relegation zone while they could be just under Leicester without that victory. Nottingham Forest victory against Brighton, again, and draw vs Chelsea that made Leicester suffering.. Obviously Leicester City have to blame themselves for this poor season comparing to the previous ones. They still have a narrow chance to avoid relegation and this by collecting as many points as possible.

Brentford's victory over West Ham with a score of 2-0 at home made them more consistent for the rest of the season. Brentford has moved up to 9th place in the standings and not only that, Brentford also has a good record of the 5 matches they have played, they have only lost 1. For Thomas Frank's squad it is a great achievement and for sure they will continue to win the next matches to get a better position.

In the next match, Brentford will have an away game at Spurs headquarters, we know that Spurs are currently in poor form in the previous matches and this could be a good opportunity for Brentford to secure 3 more points at home to Spurs. If Brentford wins then they will cut the distance from Spurs to 2 points.

Sunday's transfer gossip:

Mauricio Pochettino, who has agreed to take over as Chelsea manager, wants Mason Mount to stay at Stamford Bridge, although the 24-year-old England midfielder only has one year left on his contract and has not been offered an extension. I think Pochettino will have a very difficult job at Chelsea, much more difficult than at any other club he has coached so far.
England midfielder Jude Bellingham reportedly rejected a move from Borussia Dortmund to Manchester City as he did not want to join a 'plastic club'. Very interesting opinion of this player about Manchester City. Do you agree with his opinion?  
Real Madrid are looking to sell French full-back Ferland Mendy, 27, with Arsenal on alert. Real is creating a very strong team for next season.
The president of Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal, Fahad Bin Saad Bin Nafel, has refused to comment on speculation surrounding a move for Paris St-Germain and Argentina forward Lionel Messi, 35. Does this mean that the football transfer of the century is being negotiated?

It can be said that the final between Manchester City and Inter is a final that has been determined since the first leg. But actually I'm not so sure whether Manchester City can fully progress to the final round because the aggregate with Real Madrid is still the same and as everyone knows that Real Madrid has never won at Manchester City, it is a tough job for Ancelotti's squad.

Maybe I will still hope for a miracle like last season when Real Madrid managed to make an aggregate comeback and make them qualify for the final. I have no other opinion and would prefer to see the tension in the second leg later when Manchester City takes on Real Madrid at the Etihad Stadium. For Inter they have secured their next step into the final with an aggregate advantage of 2 goals and with Milan's current state it also seems very difficult to overturn that aggregate advantage.

Saturday's transfer gossip:

Manchester United were offered the chance to sign 51-goal striker Erling Haaland, 22, for £4m when he played for Norwegian side Molde, former boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has said. What a story. This was probably the mistake of the century  
Chelsea and Manchester United are interested in signing Aston Villa's Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, 30, with Tottenham also in the market for a new keeper. Great interest in the world champion and the best goalkeeper at the last World Cup. Which club will Martinez go to?
Borussia Dortmund's 19-year-old England midfielder Jude Bellingham has agreed personal terms with Real Madrid. Is this long football saga around Bellingham finally over?
Newcastle could bid £30m for Bayer Leverkusen's 23-year-old French forward Amine Adli, although they expect competition from Bayern Munich and AC Milan. Newcastle seem to be preparing a big squad for their appearance in the Champions League next season.

Best decision was Xavi because bringing him to Camp Nou was best from the management and after this Robert Lewandowski give them best double which give them win and now things could be interesting for the next season and as we have rumours about Messi which are no clear things can go more aggressive.

Now if they are able to hold things in positive way then surely we can expect good success because right now financial situation is not good they can improve this and have better success as well most chances they will be able to bring Aubameyang because Chelsea already announces about him and Barcelona can afford him as well this could be good for them and give strength to their attack as well.

Arsenal have decided to extend with Bukayo Saka for 4 more years (until 2028) and he is okay for this deal also. This is absolutely one of the best actions Arsenal could have taken honestly. Saka is one of the most valuable players in the team now. He is only 21 years old maybe but the things he has done so far are amazing anyway. This season is also going great for him with 14 goals and 11 assists in total. Saka was speculated to be a candidate for Manchester City in next transfer window but now he wouldn't be anymore.

Look at the grow rate in Saka's market value in the recent 3 years:

Gonçalo Ramos looks like a target for Manchester United now. To be more precise, he is among the candidates in their transfer list. He is surely a promising striker right now. Despite his very young age (21) he has been doing an incredible job with Benfica during this season. 25 goals, 11 assists in 44 matches is such a great statistics for him. We don't see so many players being this much capable as a striker at these ages.

His market value is also only 40 million euros now. However as far as I know he has a release clause also which is worth 120 million euros. It is quite a huge sum surely. I don't think Benfica would let him go below his release clause fee. Therefore I'm curious about what action Manchester United are thinking of taking.

Kane is such an experienced top striker that I assume he would still be their priority. But if Tottenham's demand for a transfer fee becomes too high then maybe Manchester United can lean towards a deal for Ramos.

Every club in the Bundesliga is big, German football is very strong internationally. Currently looks like they are not so good to playing in the 1st  Bundesliga. There are many more good teams in the past. More than 50 years ago, even FC Schalke 04 was German champion 6 times in 9 years. Or Hamburger SV was in the Bundesliga for many years and also won the German championship. But that is all over, you can’t change the past, but you can change the future. Today it is all about of money and a lot of advertising in the social media. That brings even more money for the players and the clubs, and i think it will stay that way.

FC Köln score 1:0.

Manchester United must wipe out all remaining matches to be safe from Liverpool's pursuit. Those four matches were certainly not easy for the Red Devils to earn perfect points. If you look at United's current performance, I doubt it very much, unless Ten Hag has already evaluated his team.

The condition of Manchester United is currently experiencing a center back crisis and also an increasingly blunt front line, of course such a situation cannot happen to a team that is struggling to secure the Champions League zone. If you want to stay in the top four, then Ten Hag must make every effort so that his troops can perform optimally in the remaining matches.

You can see, nowadays Sancho is rarely a main starter. that's why, Ten Hag judged he was not in accordance with what he wanted. As for Weghorst, actually Ten Hag doesn't make him a very reliable center forward in his squad. if many think so, it is wrong. because, his job with United is none other than to open up space for his colleagues. after all, he's just a loan player at a low price. Ten Hag used him as a diversion option, his role with United not being to score goals. so, it would be unsightly to be compared to Haaland. therefore, irrelevant. imagine, a loan player at 2 million dollars, with a player that has a fantastic price tag. so, that's why United are always associated with experienced strikers like Harry Kane, Osimhen, or others.

One more thing, Rashford's performance has decreased due to several problems with his fitness. forced to appear in the match against Sevilla, even though he still has not fully recovered. as I often say in many posts, United's performance will experience a decline after carrying out a series of busy match schedules. which in the end, many of their players were injured. next, next season, Ten Hag will bring in several newcomers who fit the criteria. that way, United will be much better as they are showing at this time. but before all that, Ten Hag must ensure that his team finishes in the top 4 of the standings.

Declan Rice is the prima donna for many teams, a number of elite clubs have expressed interest and are ready to make a bid for West Ham. But I think he would be a better fit to join Manchester City. For next season Pep Guardiola really needs a replacement for Gundogan who maybe next season he will leave Manchester City.

Declan Rice is indeed widely rumored to be recruited by Chelsea, he is included in Pochettino's plans to rebuild Chelsea, but because Chelsea have failed to play in the Champions League next season it seems Rice is reluctant to respond to the offer. It should be noted that the West Ham midfielder really wants to play in Europe's highest caste. So Manchester City is the right port for Rice.

It looks like Chelsea are preparing to turn Felix's deal into a permanent one. They want to offer Aubameyang and Cucurella also in this deal. Aubameyang hasn't even been properly for the team and he has already been eager to leave the team as soon as possible. Returning to the La Liga might be really good for him again. He still wants Barcelona actually but I think he would be okay for Atletico Madrid also.

Cucurella has played in so many matches with his team so far actually. But it looks like he is still not among Chelsea's plans. I still think that he could have been a good use for Chelsea as long as they sign a decent manager. He is actually a skilled left-back and I think he deserves to be given more time. Felix is a really good player but I don't think Cucurella also should be used in this deal.
