It's funny because there are other football journos who are reporting that Arsenal have given up their pursuit of Raphinha because it seems that he already his eyes set in a move to Barcelona.  :/  So which is which?  

And between Arsenal and Barca, I feel like Raphinha could be better off at Barca under Xavi.

The books lined him going to London with the Gunners tho.

Arteta was criticised a lot at the beginning of the previous season but now he must be loved by the fans. Because the comeback they made wasn't easy at all. They are making good transfers for next season currently as well and this can help them have a more consistent season. It isn't guaranteed as it depends on how good they will play as a team. But in my opinion they should be able to fight harder for finishing the season in top four. They lost the opportunity by only a small point difference the last time.

According to some news Barcelona have rejected an offer from Manchester United like Harry Maguire + money for Frenkie de Jong.  This didn't surprise me at all.    I see no reason for Barcelona to sign Harry Maguire after that poor season he had last. It looks like the only way Manchester United sign Frenkie de Jong is paying the amount Barcelona demand from them. I have no clue how much money Manchester United have allocated in their transfer budget. But if they want to bring a solid midfielder after Pogba's leave they need to be prepared to pay a very high amount of money also.

Christian Eriksen is yet to make his final decision this summer, either he will extend contract with Brentford or leave for another English team. I think he would extend his contract with Brentford because they gave him a chance when other teams turned him during hard times, like Inter who couldn't condole him in the club and relieved him as their player. Eriksen will still be in the Premier League, he's not going to accept any deal outside of Europe because he's familiar with the English football and knows how to adapt to their Pattern easily.

Rumours are flying that Rooney is leaving Derby County. I have no idea why Rooney is leaving Derby County but whatever the reasons be he would be looking and open for better opportunities. It would be good for him if he gets a club in the EPL to manage . I would love to see him coming back to  the EPL this time as a manager coaching a premier league club. I wish him good luck in his managerial career and hope to see him win trophies as a manager.

It seems that Ronaldo wants to leave Man Utd. He said that he wants to play in the CL for the remainder of his career and he seems to be frustrated by the lack of new signings at the club.

I think that Ten Hag is praying for him to leave - he is not the type of player that he wants to build his game around. Ultimately it will be up to the board though - and I feel that the final decision will be the one Ten Hag will not like.

Where could Ronaldo even go now? I don't know a single club that would want him with his current workrate and wages.

Despite his advance age he stills  performs like a young star , Ibrahimovic is such a talented player that plays a very vital role to his team. He may not be playing games often due to injury he develops,  next season may likely not go well for him to play back to back and it can also be like this till he retires.

The main reason why Manchester City have brought Erling Haaland must be that they want to achieve the Champions League title easier. By saying easier I don't mean that it is going to be easy for them. But they have a much more reliable and stronger centre-forward on the front. We don't know how much time it will take him to start playing as always but hopefully it won't take long. Manchester City aren't stopping now of course and they are still continuing on their transfers. Kalvin Philips is nearly done too.

I have started seeing on some sources that Liverpool have started considering the selling option for Mohamed Salah in this summer. I mean they are thinking of doing this on the condition that they get an offer around 60 million pounds. This is really shocking to me as I wasn't expecting this to happen already now. Maybe at the end of next season this would have happened but not now. I hope this stays as a rumour only in the coming days. Otherwise Liverpool can have big struggles if they haven't thought of an alternative for Salah.

High inflation has many causes and could be outside the control of the United Kingdom, so blaming the central bank policy will not be useful, but it is responsible for part of it by the delay in raising interest rates. What matters now is that the crisis has occurred and must be managed, so the bank acted within months The next one will clarify whether inflation will be under control or whether the problem will increase.

In general, I have visited and lived for several months in countries with a runaway inflation rate of more than 20%, prices change every few days, so people should get used to these fluctuations in the short term.

will there soon be another transfer within the premier league?
according to transfermarkt.co.uk Kalvin Phillips is moving to eglish champions manchester city - the deal could break leeds united's sales record

First there were some rumours that Ronaldo was linked with Bayern Munich for a possible transfer depending on Lewandowski's departure. But I see now that Salihamidzic indicated those rumours as lies. Ronaldo wouldn't be a bad choice for Bayern Munich in that case though. But I assume that he is telling the truth now. Lewandowski had a much better season than Ronaldo and I understand the reason why they don't want to replace him with Ronaldo. They would like to sign a striker that is capable of scoring as many goals as Lewandowski then.

Nigeria has one of the best players currently in Africa. They are likely to be the best team and can win the 2023 African Cup is nation.
