After 13 years wearing the black and yellow uniform, Matt Hummels will part ways with Dortmund this summer and he will leave as a free agent. It's sad to see that his loyalty with Dortmund has ended and he has gone as a club legend. Even though he went back and forth from Dortmund to Bayern Munich and back again to Dortmund, he still became an important part of Dortmund. I didn't expect one of the best center backs of this generation to be gone.

But it is true that he is already 35 years old and therefore regeneration is really needed for the Dortmund squad. Maybe after this Dortmund will immediately look for a replacement in the summer and I hope they make the right recruitment for their new center back candidate. It's a shame that at the end of his career with Dortmund he appeared impressive, especially when he was able to take Dortmund to the Champions League final and in my opinion, defenders of his age are very rarely consistent.

If it's not Real Madrid then it's likely Manchester City will be the next champions because these two teams are the only ones who have clear prospects of winning the Champions League title. Maybe other teams have the same chance to win the title, it's just that if one of them faces one of Real Madrid or Manchester City in the final then everything will be in vain.

I don't mean to belittle but everything is very clear with the great coaches and also the depth of the squad that these two teams have. In my opinion, Liverpool still can't compete to win the title at the moment because they still have to adapt to their new coach, Arne Slot, and as long as Liverpool still entrusts the striker position to Darwin Nunez, it won't work.

From the start, the problems at Manchester United were very complex and every season there were always more varied problems and for some reason this team seemed to have bad luck. However, I am sure that any team that makes real progress will get what they have planted.

Manchester United is quite unlucky because they have nothing to highlight during this season so they are still the same as a big team that failed to even win the FA title at the last minute. Erik ten hag is a coach who should be given more opportunities and maybe if everything goes smoothly then Manchester United next season can overcome all the existing obstacles and if this time the recruitment of new players meets the club's needs it will be able to support their performance.

It's only natural that Girona moved quickly to get a new center back because Aleix Garcia has already joined Leverkusen this summer. This left the main center back position vacant so Girona's decision to sign Krejci from Sparta Prague was the right one. However, what still amazes me is that his goal contribution is almost the same as that of an attacker and it seems that every time there is a free kick or corner kick he can always score a goal from that process.

Of course, Girona wants to repeat the same success this season and at least they can compete in the top four again, therefore they must optimize strengthening from all sides. However every season will present great battles and Girona does not want to have a bad season after what they did this season.

Before reaching an agreement with De Zerbi, Marseille must redeem his clause of 6 million euros and after all the conditions are completed De Zerbi will immediately be announced as the new coach. I think the development is quite positive and I think De Zerbi is worthy enough to handle Marseille. Even though this season has not been very good with Brighton, we cannot equate this regarding performance because since last season they have lost several important players so the results have not been optimal.

However, I welcome how De Zerbi will perform with Marseille and we will see whether he is able to improve Marseille's performance with the depth of the current squad. Regarding the Ligue One competition, I would actually be happy if there were significant changes from the newcomer teams and that would make the competition even more lively. But maybe Ligue One will be less popular if they don't bring in any more star players.

I just heard this name and he seems quite promising. But I don't think Real Madrid will take him considering the depth of their squad is already so good. But if Real Madrid want to take him and loan him to another club, that could still happen. We know that Real Madrid often does this for its young players.

On the other hand, it would be much more useful if Pedro Lima just joined Chelsea because the team still needs improvement for next season and it is felt that his abilities will be quite helpful for the Blues. Apart from that, of course the EPL would be much better off increasing their intensity as players and competing for the main places.

I agree and it feels very difficult to repeat the same luck. Dortmund has indeed struggled very well this season but of course luck is also an important factor in the team's success. Moreover, being able to reach the final round was never even imagined for them before. So as you said, Dortmund will find it difficult to compete next season.

The arrival of new teams will definitely make the competition more difficult to predict and sometimes these new arrivals can provide unexpected surprises. Leverkusen and Bologna could have reached at least the round of 16 but it feels like if they advance to the semifinals or final they will need more luck and because of that I think luck is the key to everything that happens in this competition apart from the hard work they put in.

It still seems quite difficult for Al-Nassr to approach Van Dijk and I think like Mohammed Salah, who has been rumored since last season, there is no clarity until now whether he wants to join a Saudi league team. Liverpool really looks after their players and it is very difficult for other teams to touch them. Even though Saudi clubs have the power to bring him in with money, it seems like his loyalty to his proud club is still very high and very difficult to break.

Maybe Al-Nassr really needs to look for a strong defender and I think that is their current focus before the competition starts. Maybe Ronaldo will contact former teammates like Varane, who parted ways with Manchester United after his contract expired this season.

Bilbao have extended Ander Herrera's contract for another season and it seems that the club management still trusts him to strengthen the midfield next season. The former Manchester United player is no longer young and therefore Bilbao only gave him a short contract extension before he left as a free agent.

Ander Herrera is certainly very happy with this decision and he will give everything in his final season with Bilbao. Apart from that, Bilbao failed to play in the Champions League but at least they can still participate in the European League next season. I think after this Ander Herrera if he doesn't retire then he can try another adventure in MLS or the Saudi league to get a bigger salary.

Arsenal were unlucky this time with their failure to recruit Benjamin Sesko, but at least they still have many options to choose a striker for next season. From the names you mentioned, I think all of them have the capacity to be able to do their job according to their position. But I doubt which is the right choice for Arsenal.

If I'm not mistaken, Victor Gyokeres was rumored to be with Arsenal from the start, but Sporting Lisbon seems to want him to stay and this depends on how Arsenal can make a decent offer for him. On the other hand, Evan Ferguson did perform very well with Brighton but it only lasted one season and his inconsistency would only make Arsenal feel at a loss. For Zirkzee, perhaps he has been a shining figure this season with Bologna and I think it is quite worthy to consider him as Arsenal's new striker. However, I doubt whether Bologna will want to let go of one of its key players and of course Bologna will ask for a fee that is not cheap.

The Brazilian club Palmeiras is indeed a producer of talented young players and previously we would have known that their players like Endrick joined Real Madrid and Estevao chose to join Chelsea. This makes West Ham not want to be left behind and they have just announced the signing of a new player from Palmeiras, namely Luis Guilherme.

He is still very young at 18 years old and plays as a midfielder and this is West Ham's first signing under the tutelage of their new coach Julen Lopetegui. West Ham provided their own atmosphere in the EPL last season, but this season they experienced a deadlock and had to fire David Moyes. Now they seem to be focusing on young players and of course with an experienced coach like Julen Lopetegui it is hoped that the results will be optimal. Well, good luck on your new journey Luis Guilherme.

Edin Terzic is a good coach and thanks to him, Dortmund was able to reach the Champions League final. It's just that maybe the club owner doesn't really like the achievements in the Bundesliga, which are quite minor this season. Moreover, with the conflict, as you say, everything makes sense as to why he left Dortmund.

It is very unfortunate with this departure even though Dortmund could have corrected the existing mistakes and next season they should be able to perform impressively with Edin Terzic. Regarding his replacement, I think Dortmund are still considering the candidates and to be honest they don't have much time before the season restarts. Of the three coaches you mentioned, I don't think anyone is up to standard as a Dortmund coach and of course the club owner will look for a more proportional coach. For Will Still, he has officially become Lens coach in the French league so his name will not be on Dortmund's radar.

Quite surprising news came from Marseille where they will reach an agreement with former Brighton coach De Zerbi. Actually, I'm not quite sure about this, but seeing that Marseille this season is far from expectations and not like last season, it is very feasible for them to think about looking for a new coach to replace Jean-Louis Gasset.

In recent months, De Zerbi has been rumored to be close to several clubs, but that has not happened and now it is Marseille who have come to recruit him. Maybe he could be the right solution for Marseille next season and Marseille's consistency could be repeated. This season Marseille only managed to finish in 8th position and I don't think that's a good result for them. Therefore, significant changes are needed and I think management is taking the right steps.

The arrival of Thiago Motta as a new coach will start a new era for La Vechia Signora and we will no longer see a fairly monotonous game from Allegri. I really appreciate Allegri's service over the years at Juventus, but his time is now over. This season was the last time he made Juventus unable to be consistent and lose in the competition that was clearly in front of their eyes.

Apart from that, it is certainly not easy for a young coach like Thiago Motta to handle a big team like Juventus, but what we saw before by bringing Bologna to finish in 5th position and giving them a place in the Champions League is an extraordinary achievement. It is not easy with the limited depth of the squad, he was able to transform Bologna into an unexpected team this season. There is still a very long way to go for Thiago Motta and I can't wait to see his debut with Juventus next season.

Slowly but surely PSG succeeded in answering the doubts that existed when their star players left one by one but they still remained strong and could still produce the best results. Moreover, under the guidance of an experienced coach like Luis Enrique, this is very possible and we can see it this season.

I'm sure next season will still be the same and if it's just for all competitions in France they will still be the favorites as winners, but for the Champions League it's still quite far away. Regarding Vinicius going to PSG, I don't think it will be possible even though PSG can afford to buy him at such a large cost, but Real Madrid will still keep the player, especially since he is already a star at Real Madrid and of course working with his colleagues to win other titles.

Maybe it's time for Barcelona to let go of one of their players and this time Newcastle are interested in signing Ferran Torres. Newcastle offered a fee of 20 million euros including bonuses for Barcelona but I think this offer is quite low considering Ferran Torres' market value is 30 million euros. Maybe Newcastle can increase the fee a little more so that Barcelona wants to let him go.

On the other hand, Barcelona certainly knows this is an opportunity to increase their increasingly poor financial resources and at least they have the funds to buy players under the tutelage of their new coach Hansi Flick. Moreover, even though Ferran Torres has recently been getting quite a lot of playing minutes, his overall performance is still lacking.

Actually, I don't really know much about Hansi Flick's playing style, but if you refer to the data you have provided, it is likely that it will work quite well if Barcelona can fill in the existing deficiencies by bringing in players who are targeted by Hansi Flick. In that formation there are Kimmich and De Ligt and I am sure the strategy will work well if these two players join Barcelona. Moreover, with gegenpressing which has been directed by Hansi Flick, everything can be resolved.

It's just that we can't have full hope that this will happen and the same problem is still a hot topic of conversation, so I'm pessimistic about the potential signing. The rest is that Hansi Flick has to make use of the existing squad and even if the results are not as expected, at least he can direct his players slowly.

Nicolo Barella is a key player for Inter and his role in midfield is very solid in organizing attacks for his teammates. His specialty is of course as a box to box midfielder which is very rare for other players and therefore Inter is very right to give him a contract extension. If not for that, Inter would also find it difficult to control their midfield.

This step was definitely taken at once so that other teams could not touch Nicolo Barella and I am very sure that not a few top European teams are interested in him. Nicolo Barella is like he was born for Inter so he will continue to play with Inter until his contract ends.

It's quite reasonable if the reason isn't salary but that's just my speculation so what's going on inside is still being covered up. What is clear is that Benjamin Sesko has signed a new contract until 2029 and I think it is a long-term contract. However, there is another agreement where Benjamin Sesko could leave sooner between 2025 and 2026. I don't know for sure what happens but I think if there is a better offer he could leave Leipzig in that year.

Benjamin Sesko's focus now is on his development plans with Leipzig and perhaps that is what made him reject offers from several elite clubs. There were Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United interested in him but that's over for now. Maybe if it's not the English league, he wants to try another league first like La Liga or Serie A in the future.

Because of this, Rudiger himself still wants to continue fighting to add to his collection of Champions League trophies and doesn't want to lose to other senior players. So it is very difficult with these contradictory desires and maybe Rudiger will firmly reject the offer from Al-Nassr. If only Al-Nassr comes in about 1 or 2 years, it is possible that the offer will start to be considered and at this time this is quite impossible.

Rather than chasing Rudiger and increasing the offer, Al-Nassr would be better off looking for another player with almost the same characteristics. There are definitely still so many options available and they don't need to be confused rather than having to spend so much money to sign just one player. I know they are capable but it will not all be realized with dreams higher than the money that comes.
