the fact that Juventus, it seems, has given up on
- Chiellini
- Bonucci
effectively puts the team in a defensive emergency situation
remember, Juventus generally plays 3-5-2
you need a solid defense and wings that run

I ponder why they have not yet replaced Chiellini already.
Also sure they will not stick to this style of formation this season.
They used the formation to win three straight trophies for Juventus with Allegri and Conte.

Your decisions are only for you, wait until the season starts to see who Bayern coach plays in attack.
Sadio Mane played the number nine role previous years at Southampton and Liverpool.
Why do you doubt if he can still perform at a top level ?
Bayern Coach Will take he's finally decisions.

Is Barcelona really strong this season? I would say a stable squad is needed to win the title. But we see in the Barcelona team, their forwards are very strong. But the midfield and defence are not that strong. Barcelona's midfield will be even weaker if de Jong leaves the team. Moreover, if the defence is not strong, Barcelona will not be able to perform well on a platform like the Champions League.

Looks like De Jong will stay with Barcelona next season. If he chooses to stay, the midfield will be stronger. barcelona have signed a defender in this summer window he is Andreas Christense, I think his presence will help the barcelona defense sector next season. barcelona have a stock of players for the position of defender. I don't think Barcelona will have a big problem in the lower or midfield because Xavi already knows which areas to improve this season before they are really ready to compete next season.

Yes De Jong will remain at Barcelona next season and Lewandoski has completed the move over.
Christense would improve next season because he will have enough time to play games.
Having brought in the player from AC Milan will help them in Midfield.
Serjio Busquet also have enough to offer not looking he is 34

Anybody else think it’s a little low behaviour by Ronaldo? He’s effectively whoring himself out to anybody who is in the CL. Maybe he should just do his job & play for Man Utd.

I dunno, I just find it a little cheap behaviour.

Staying a second time and season would be the best decision.
Going over to some random team that'll still get knocked out from the Champions League will get him furious.
So why not wait complete the season and contract before leaving.

Saw that Chelsea have officially confirmed that they've completed the signing of Kalidou Koulibaly from Napoli side, a deal that worth about £34million, The centre back has officially penned a four-year contract ,the signing of the defender have made it Chelsea's second summer contract deal.

And he joined the team at the states immediately after completing he medical.
A good back up for the loss of Rudiger for me.
He is very solid behind and very strong physical and with the head.

Brazilians and the world Cup are five and six.
They have always taken the tournament very very serious.
I see it's the reason why they have won more of it than anyone.
The current squad are ready and determined to win. Argentina also wants to do it for Messi.
France are also having a solid squad but they won't get the world Cup

Frenkie de Jong doesn't seem likely to join Manchester United according to latest news. Because it is said that Barcelona have added him to their squad for their tour also. This must be meaning that they are willing to keep him at the team. On the other hand there are some rumours like two sides have reached an agreement about a deal like €75m + €10m bonus. I really don't know what to believe now. Cheesy

Manchester United need a midfielder immediately so they would continue to push for him I guess.

Indeed, from the start the rumors about his move to Manchester United seemed like there was no clear continuation. But now if he was really on the pre-season tour roster, he would most likely stay at Barcelona. But on the other hand, Barcelona have spent a lot of money to sign their new players. But whether they will sell de Jong to cover the money they spent or not.

It seems that Erik Ten Hag plan to recruit his former men to Manchester United failed miserably, because Barcelona have confirmed that they will not sell De Jong in the transfer market this season. The inclusion of De Jong name into the list of Barcelona players participating in the pre-season tour to the United States further clarifies De Jong future, especially since De Jong has told his colleagues that he will not leave Barcelona. Erik Ten Hag must forget De Jong, looking for another player would be a good option for Manchester United before the transfer window closes.

De Jong can come to Manchester United if they play Champions League.
Another move that can force him out will be the move of Bernado Silva at Man City to Barcelona.
I know he has a good relationship with Ten Hag, settling down in the squad won't be hard.

Robert Lewandowski will complete his move to Barcelona this weekend, after Bayern Munich verbally accepted an increased offer worth 50m euros (£42.5m) for the Poland striker.
After selling Lewandowski, Bayern will increase their bid to Juventus for the Netherlands defender Matthijs de Ligt, 22, who has already agreed personal terms for a five-year contract.
So, Bayern obviously decided to make good money on Lewandowski and bring in a new football star.

Robert Lewandowski has finally got what he wanted. Good for him! I think that Bayern Munich have made a good choice by not forcing him. They weren't going to make any money if they decided to keep him for one more season. Now they can sign a good striker by using this money also. I'm not seeing any rumour about a striker for Bayern Munich. But they would start quickly to search for striker after this transfer. Some people said that they were thinking Mane in that position if Lewandowski left but I don't see it logical.

Didn't Mane play a pure striker - center forward role a few times under Klopp? I've noticed that we've been seeing it recently and towards the end of last season. I think Nagelsmann will def put him in that role and spearhead Bayern's attack in most of their matches. It should be fun to watch.

And btw, if Ten Hag won't be the guy to bring United back to their former glory, hear this... It's gonna be Nagelsmann if they get lucky enough to convince him to join them.

Why do you think Ten Hag can not get the job done ... They have some issues with the owners
The glazers are big drawback to Manchester United for the past season.
Go ask Jose Mourinho, Van Gaal and Ole Gunner, Glazer are not determine and ready to win like old ways.
Haven't you noticed the fans already ?

PSG could easily become champions with their reserve players. It's not really interesting to have a discussion about it. I was also surprised that PSG had decided to let Xavi Simons go to PSV. There is only 1 letter difference in a team, maybe that was it. The big question is what will happen to Messi, Mbappe and Neymar. Could those 3 just attack each other and want to keep playing? It's really time for them to win the CL. The public is no longer satisfied with a national title. That has become too obvious.

Reserve team can not do better than the current players.
They need to have that winning mentality within and among the player's.
They now have a new coach, Galtier can he make the boys play without grumbling amongst themselves.
Neymar and Mbappe us having some internal issues in the team.
They also need to be determined.

Speculation about Serge Gnabry future in Bayern is near to ended because he will agree to renew his contract from Bayern even rumours is he will get long duration contract for 4 or 5 years so this makes Chelsea, Arsenal and Madrid cannot buy him however Gnabry is important player from Bayern even last season he can played with different position as a winger and attacking midfielder and his performance also quite impressive with scoring 17 goals in all competitions so he deserved to get new contract with high salary

Contract has already been extended with Bayern today as I speak.
He is still part of the plan for Bayern Munich nevertheless all the rumors.
Also Cristiano won't be joining Bayern Munich, Medes is pushing for it but Bayern has said no for the second time.

I don’t know about the rest of the players, but De Jong is not so easy to point to the door - he has a valid contract and if Barcelona wants to break it, they will have to pay him a penalty (in addition to the 20 million they already owe the player). I don't think they can afford it financially. They cannot forcefully sell him either, the player's agent has already stated that De Jong wants to stay at the club and he does not agree to a pay cut.

Frenkie de Jong wants to stay in Barcelona. But due to financial problems, Barcelona decided to sell Frenkie de Jong. But now it doesn't look like Barcelona will sell de Jong right now. Because I heard rumors that Barcelona would raise funds for Lewandowski by selling de Jong. But with the addition of Raphinha, Lewandowski's chances of getting into the squad have dwindled. And so I think Xavi will not accept the decision to sell de Jong.

Lewandowski has already been bought, so the Barcelona management is pressuring De Jong to leave for United. If he does not agree to the transfer, then he will not be taken to the Barcelona tour in the USA. LOL. How I am annoyed by the disrespectful attitude of Barcelona towards the players - both old and new. I hope De Jong will show hardness and stay at the club (he has a contract and in fact he does not care about the problems of the club) Grin

Welcome To Barcelona Lewandoski he will score 30 goals for Barcelona this season.
Frankie De Jong joined Barcelona at the tour in USA and he does not want to play in the Europa league competition.
I am watching how he and he's agent deal's with the situation
,He wants Champions League football. But Barcelona needs to register their player's.

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.

That's no lie but who is to replace Koullibaly they just sold to Chelsea ?
And for Juventus I have not seen any replacement for de Ligt if he finally leaves.
If they don't replace him their will be problem else they have other options.
De ligt has accepted Bayern Munich already.

Before leaving for Barcelona, Robert Lewandowski bid his teammates at Bayern Munich farewell and Lewandowski says that after finishing what may be his final practice for Die Roten on Saturday, he will move on.
Due to their financial difficulties, Barca had doubts about the move, but they have recently started to recover financially and now Barcelona hopes to finalise the signing this weekend after reaching a €50 million agreement with Bayern.

That was very good of Lewandoski, I was emotional reading he bid farewell to the team and staff.
Bayern Munich president has also said good of him after so many years with him.
He had won everything with Bayern Munich a complete player entirely.

Manchester United need a midfielder immediately so they would continue to push for him I guess.

Both Barcelona and Man United agreed on the price already.
Frankie De Jong doesn't want to play Europa league football.
They have already moved to USA for the tour, Barcelona does not want to increase his wages.

Jurgen Klopp seems contended with his present squad after signing Darwin Nunez as a replacement for Sadio Mane. It was a big loss for the reds but they need to keep pushing after all, players come and go. Rumours circulating that he wants Jude Bellingham in his squad. Klopp is a very calculating manager and wouldn't go for a player which he knows is a star and get him signed and then dump him or denied him regular play time. That's why he isn't going for Bellingham yet, and moreover Jude Bellingham is not even available in the transfer window.

Wait too see Nunez Darwin finding it difficult the adapt to the premier league.
Bellingham will one day leave Dortmund and at the moment Liverpool had no serious moves for him.
Release clause too big for any club to bid. He remains a Dortmund player.

Dortmund are looking for talent, not star players. that's the difference between Dortmund movement with other teams in the transfer market this summer. So it's no wonder Dortmund have been very active in the transfer market this summer as Dortmund just lost their star Erling Haaland this summer. In the Bundesliga, Dortmund is indeed a tight competition for bayern in the race for the title, but at the end of the competition it is always Bayern who won the German league trophy.

I haven't seen any competition over the last few seasons but I agree with what you said about Dortmund being good at looking for talent here.
Indeed, their eyes are quite observant in bringing in young players and making their potential shine even more because indeed not a few great young players started there.
It's a shame that their talented talents are not used for competitive purposes, even though it's quite worth it from a business perspective.

Bayern Munich get stronger and stronger season after season.
As far as I can tell Dortmund has never been a good and big competitor's for Bayern Munich.

So far my favorite team in the Premier League haven't signed any players. But they must definitely bring in new good players. Chelsea have all it takes to bring in new players to the team but they not ready to do so all because Todd Boehly wants the best for his team. This was not how the team was during Abramovich tenure, don't just know what's going on currently. Perhaps I don't seems to blame the new owner for all that's happening in the team. Beside he's new in the club and haven't get to know some vital and essential things about the club but with time he will soon get use to them.

Chelsea have brought in new players but some of them have just returned from loan and also, there are still players who will definitely come like Raheem Sterling. But indeed if I consider the players who left like Rudiger and Christensen who left with free agents then of course, Chelsea still need experienced centre-backs. Because the central defender who returned from loan seems still not enough to be the main squad in the Chelsea back row.

Nathan Ake issues should be sorted soon with Man City.
City has said they want almost same price they got Nathan Ake.
Ame has win the Premier League once since he's move to Manchester City from Bournemouth.

Chelsea needs to get a striker like a number nine inside the team.
If they fail to do so, they will lack scoring goals to an extent next season.
All the years spent in and with Manchester United by Ronaldo will be useless one he joins Chelsea.
But same Man utd who sparked he's career wants to bring it down.

Transfer rumours:

-snip
The question is which club can afford him?

I mean there is alot of club out there that would be willing to sign him though but pretty sure that he is waiting for the best option right now. I'd like him to stay but thats a tough chances so even if he ended up signing with another club, imagine how massive would it be if PSG sign him. Both Messi and Ronaldo could be playing on the same time which is just mind blowing

Did you see talks about Neymar leaving PSG?
That was because they want to play the ball all around Mbappe and they felt Neymar will be an hindrance.
He doesn't pass the ball always dribbling.
What PSG needs is a good coach that can manage the player in the club, they haven't had that you know.

It seems that the honorary president of Bayern has refused another offer from Barça for Lewandoski, so, he will remain also for the next season here and this

is definitive. He also said how barcelona that is full of debts can bought a player like Lewa Grin

And it seems like Lewandoski will not come for training days and matches for Bayern Munich.
The player wants out let him go is that too hard ?
After all the years for Bayern Munich, this is almost like a Russia/ Ukraine situation.
They should let Lewandoski leave.
