Napoli may do something similar, gain a ton of money, but spend it in operational stuff or debt repayment or something like that, and not players.
Today business is the main thing. Napoli already has such an orientation, as long as the club is financially healty it doesn't matter. They are famous for producing quality players, they often buy several potential players at low prices. After that they sold it at a pretty high price. Indeed, I heard they just bought 3 new players, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Mathias Olivera, and Andre Zambo Anguissa. All three are less than 40 million euros. I really like this sales policy of Napoli. They really get serious income by buying a player and making a star and selling it. There are very few teams in Europe that have done this in the past. I can say Borussia Dortmund, Ajax, Portugal teams that come to mind. Napoli is one of those teams. By selling one of these transfers, they can earn more than they spent this year. Although it is good for their finances, but such things should not reduce their value in competing. I don't mind this kind of thing, because after all the team needs to do business in order to maintain their finances. So far I see Napoli can still be balanced in terms of advantage and competition, I hope they can further improve their competition in the competition. |

As it was expected it turns out that Cristiano Ronaldo has rejected the extraordinary offer by a Saudi Arabia team. He proved his point that it wasn't about money. He wants a challenge in the Champions League and Manchester United can't give it to him at least for this season. He doesn't want to stay any longer as a result. I wonder if there are any Premier League team interested in him now. The freshest rumour is about Atletico Madrid's wanting him.
I am not surprised Cristiano Ronaldo refused from Saudi Arabia, because indeed he still wants to play in the League where the League is the favorite for now. But I myself am not sure that he will soon find the team he is referring to, in the end we will still see him at Manchester United. I hope he is more patient and keeps playing for Manchester United. I would like to see him contribute to the rise of Manchester United. |

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is likely to be signed by Milan again according to some news. I assume that it would be a one-year deal. Zlatan is still ambitious about playing professional football despite his age. He is still very strong also. He is injured for a long time though and he would most likely be able to play after the first half of the season passes. I wasn't expecting this deal so early because of his lasting injury actually. But this is only a rumour for now of course.
Didn't they get an agreement to keep working together for one year? That's the news I heard some time ago, that they were back to work together but the contract was split in two, because of the injury he suffered. Reportedly the costs to be incurred by AC Milan will be different, the first and second half of the season. That's what I've heard so far. |

Barcelona is a club that has an appeal for every football lover and also for other players to join them. maybe a term like this is very suitable to be said for de jong as the news circulating right now he prefers to stay with barcelona even though he gets a pay cut for next season. he is very comfortable and he is happy to be at barcelona more than any other club like those are the words that come out of de jong's mouth.
Moreover, Lewandowski arrival made De Jong want to continue playing with Barcelona because Lewandowski figure is a pretty good mentor for De Jong in next season's competition.
I agree, Barcelona is one of the teams that many players are interested in playing in this team. Not infrequently they even offer themselves even before Barcelona say that they are interested in signing the player. Indeed, the success of this team is one of the factors why many players want to join. Moreover, many star players were born and are here. |

the deal is done we just have to wait for the official announcement, Koulibaly is very close to Chelsea, I think it will happen.
Napoli let go of this important player because Koulibaly doesn't want to renew his contract and wants to go to another club, I think there is no reason for Napoli to keep him.
and Chelsea are indeed after a lot of defenders at the moment because they prioritize the best, and of course if they manage to get Koulibaly it is the best player among the rest.
Yes Chelsea do need defenders, and Koulibaly is one of the players who are on the radar that Chelsea are looking for. Chelsea themselves are closer now with Koulibaly and I think in the near future there will be an official announcement from them regarding this player. If there are no other obstacles this player will be in the near future to sign a contract with Chelsea. |

I'm not sure if they did the right thing by raising transfer fee but let's just focus on the outcome. Lewandowski will play for Barcelona for three years and even though there are some concerns about he may past his prime last season he scored 50 goals. Barcelona may find the exact missing part in their championship path. I wonder how will Xavi make selections though. If Aubameyang and Memphis will stay it will be very hard to bench them. He has to set the tactic so at least two of these three players will be in the pitch at start. With this transfer move, Barcelona seems to be one step ahead of Real Madrid.
I was a little surprised by how successful Barcelona actually got Lewandowski, because of the many difficulties they went through trying to sign the now former Bayern Munich striker. In the end they feel the joy of being really successful in this transfer market. Xavi now has many options that he will apply in attack, of course this is an advantage for him. |

Of course it isn't good to see a specific team dominating the season in the Ligue 1 all the time. But as long as the rest of the teams don't take big actions to get ahead of PSG it is difficult to see different teams making it to the championship. Lille did this yes but it was like a one-time success. They didn't have an incredible squad like PSG had. If some team revolutionize their squad and start playing big then we can start seeing some competition in the league finally.
The situation is the same as in the Bundesliga where only one team dominates the League. This is very boring, especially since Paris Saint Germain is inhabited by many star players. Of course it is difficult for other teams to surpass what Paris Saint Germain currently has. Indeed, their stable finances make them free to sign players of fantastic value. I'm not sure that other teams will displace PSG from the pinnacle of dominance. |

Lewa's desire to leave Munich has moved Barca and PSG. Lewa won't be able to adapt if he goes to Barca but it will be better if he goes to PSG later in his career. Barca is struggling with the economic crisis. I don't think Lewa will adapt to the Barca style of football. There are no players to feed him. He can do wonders with Messi and Mbappe in PSG. Munich is making things difficult for the transfer. It seems that they will not release the football player without getting the money they want. Lewa's contract expires in 2023 but he does not want to stay at Munich. Let's see what is going to happen.
I didn't think it was a good thing when Lewandowski went to Paris Saint Germain, for the squad it might be a good thing, but for the cooperation of the game I can't think when there are too many stars. We'll see now what happens with Paris Saint Germain, they can't do anything even though there are many famous players. |

Starting from the front line to the back line, Manchester City has a very outstanding squad including players who are on the bench have the same quality as the main squad. They sold Sterling, but the position will be filled by players who are just as great as Raheem Sterling.
Chelsea last season was hit by several problems that had an effect on the team. Their front line is also a failure in my opinion. Sterling's presence next season in Chelsea's attacking line will be Tuchel's solution when it comes to goalscorers.
That's why I said Chelsea must strengthen the defensive line to stem the strong attacks of opponents such as Manchester City and Liverpool in the Premier League.
Actually I'm not so sure that Chelsea will be able to compete with Manchester City and Liverpool next season. The previous season they could actually compete, but towards the end of the league they couldn't be consistent and in the end they had to be knocked out of the competition. Next season I see that Chelsea will be slightly below Manchester City and Liverpool. |

Winning the Champions League is not a one Man Job. Ronaldo moving in another Club doesn't guarantee he'll win the Champions League. As it might be another season with Juventus a wasted one hope's of winning the Champions League got all shattered in shambles. Further more, he should stay put at Manchester United.
you are right It is impossible to win a title on a platform like the Champions League depending on the performance of just one player. Doing well in the Champions League definitely requires good teamwork and good strategy. And so Ronaldo should now try to make the United team more stable with Manchester United. United will be in contention for the Champions League title in the 2023-24 season if the squad is stable. No matter how great a player is, if his team is not in a good condition, it certainly won't make the team champion. Teamwork and good gameplay are one of the factors for a team to become a champion. I myself have no doubts about Ronaldo's ability, but with the current state of his team I cannot comment on Ronaldo's performance. |

I don't think that it is all about the price for Bayern Munich to sell Lewandowski. They just don't want to sell him for any price now. Because as far as I can see they haven't found an alternative striker for him. They just want to continue with him one more season before his contract expires. They must be aware that they won't be able to keep him more than that. However I wouldn't force Lewandowski to stay if I were them. Barcelona are highly interested and he also wants to go there. It isn't very professional to force him like this in this situation.
Yes, Bayern Munich has the right to keep Lewandowski with them, because the agreement between the two has not expired until the next season. Now the decision is in their hands even though Barcelona came back with the highest bid. From the start, Bayern Munich was reluctant to let Lewandowski go, but as the rumors went on, his decision became more and more apparent. |

Yes, it's difficult to see beyond Man City and Liverpool for the title in 22-23. A lot will depend on how quickly the new strikers at each team bed in and start scoring goals. I suppose there's somewhat more of a question mark over Darwin Nunez than there is over Haaland, but still, we just don't know yet, there are a lot of uncertainties involved when moving to a new country and a new team, it's not just the ability of the player, it's how well they fit into the system of the team and adapt to the league as a whole. Might be a month or two into the season before we get a clear picture.
Yes. That's right. A new striker enters the team it takes a few months to assess his abilities because the process of adapting to the league as a whole is a tough one for new players. Actually, in the era of modern football, the role of the striker has been reduced, because the player behind him can also carry out the role of scoring goals even though scoring goals is not their main task in the team. Maybe what you say is true, that in modern football, the role of scoring goals is no longer the job of a striker, but everyone gets the same opportunity. But here maybe the striker's role is needed to open up the opponent's defense space to be more open. Sometimes opponents focus on the movement of the striker so as to create space for other players. |

Due to the financial situation of Barcelona, we would assume with all the transfers that Real Madrid is in a financial crisis, not Barcelona...
When you say that Real Madrid is in a financial crisis, that's not what Barcelona is. I want you to provide clear evidence here so that your assumptions can be proven correct because everyone has the right to assume as long as they can provide clear evidence for everything they assume. So I want to see proof of what you assume because Real Madrid are the champions this season and still have the potential to win next season. Right, give you at least the source that they are in financial trouble. Honestly, I would like to know what the underlying reason is that the OP concludes that Real Madrid are not doing well in their financial situation. Is it because Real Madrid lacks movement in the transfer market? Or something else. And if we compare with Barcelona, I don't think it needs any further explanation. |

Right, I already said it above. Friendly matches don't really mean anything to these teams because maybe they don't play seriously the whole game. So I wouldn't really believe it was a bad start for Liverpool, but it's a good sign for Manchester United.
This is match is just to see the opponent's strength and entertain people in Bangkok. So the scenario could be if there are most MU fans inside then Liverpool will be a bit slow to make how MU wins. So, I believe win or lose, both will receive the money whatever the result. I also see Klopp just sitting on a bench, this is different from when Liverpool playing in the premier league, where he never had time to sit or just drink water. Apart from that, both teams must see how the strength of the team that will be their opponent in the Premier League is. Yes, although this match did not run with a high tempo and desire to win, but I see there is good progress at Manchester United under Ten Hag. Apart from Liverpool who say "not serious" in this match, but Manchester United are more daring in holding the ball. We'll see later in the League, whether there is hope or not. |

I don't think that Real Madrid needs to stress too much about their squad. From my perspective, they have a very good squad and a very strong attacking lineup. Despite not getting Mbappe or Haaland, they do not have to worry, since they did well with the same lineup last season. The team does have a little bit of concern about defense, but that has also been solved with the addition of a new player.
For now it may be true, because they are still reinforced by the majority of players who brought great success to Real Madrid. But over time they will definitely decline due to age. That's what Real Madrid have to anticipate, but so far I've also seen them prepare well by adding a lot of young players. |

There were a lot of rumors about Neymar and even before the new coach came Neymar was one of the PSG players ready to be sold or loaned out, but the strongest option was to go on loan with the wages paid by both teams being paid half each. Newcastle were very capable of getting Neymar but for Neymar himself it would not be possible to accept him because Newcastle currently are a rich team but they are still a mediocre team, it is an impossible move because even Newcastle are not a team that is in the top four.
But the rumors are only rumors that until now no serious proposals have come to Paris Saint Germain's table. But I'm a bit sure that the Paris Saint Germain coach will try to keep Neymar to be part of them next season. I also see that the chances of Neymar leaving Paris Saint Germain are very small. |

I agree with you. Bayern Munich is not only aiming for the Bundesliga title next season. They want to win the Champions League. Bayern Munich does not have to suffer too much to win the Bundesliga title. However, if you want to play well on a platform like the Champions League, you need a strong squad and a good match strategy. Bayern Munich is now focusing on this aspect.
Yes I think most people also realize that in the Bundesliga there is hardly any competition every season to win the title. Therefore Bayern Munich should see this as an opportunity to focus on the Champions League. Because some other teams, besides they have to compete in the Champions League, they also have a pretty tough competition in the domestic league. |

First of all, I don't expect Neymar to go anywhere at this point. His current wage is too high for all the rich teams to accept. Maybe Newcastle would still try their luck with him but I don't think that he would like to go there in the first place. The remaining rich teams wouldn't pay a significant amount just to sign him too. So Neymar is staying as it seems and Galtier wants him in the lineup too. If Neymar doesn't have a season with serious injuries I expect a bigger contribution from him which is going to be important for the Champions League.
That's right, after all, Paris Saint Germain didn't hear any rumors that they would sell the Brazilian. And they are also not interested in having another team try to submit a proposal for his move. I think they will refuse if someone makes an offer. Moreover I heard that their coach said that Neymar was part of the strategy he was going to implement. |

Bayern Munich are really after de Ligt currently but for now it seems like just an interest. I haven't heard of an official offer yet. Chelsea are in this race also and I see Bayern Munich one step ahead of them. But the opinion of the player is the most important point here of course. de Ligt can be an important part of the team if he stays at Juventus. Because Chiellini has left the team. If he doesn't desire a move out of Italy then Bayern Munich and Chelsea both might be unsuccessful about signing him. Unless they pay the release clause amount of course.  I was surprised to read the news that de ligt was more interested in the new offer made by bayern. even the issue is that Bayern want to make the transfer de ligt the most expensive in the club's history. I really never think that Bayern was so focused on improving their defense by buying expensive defenders. I am not surprised when Bayern Munich are willing to spend big to strengthen their defense or the squad as a whole. They did this because they started to focus on the bigger competition. I think they should put the Bundesliga aside, because now there is no competitor to bother them. Instead they should focus on competitions like the Champions League. |

PSG's current attacking line is good enough actually and I don't believe they need to strengthen it more. They had better be careful about not losing any player there. Neymar has been rumoured but it would probably stay as a rumour too. Because his wage is quite high for many big teams to think twice about signing him this summer. He would continue here.
If you look at the existing squad, Paris Saint Germain is actually quite promising to compete outside the domestic league (Champions League). However, they are often unable to compete with representatives from other countries. They are inhabited by very quality players, especially in their attack line. But it was not enough for them to reach even higher achievements. |
