Chelsea are planning to make things more heated for signing Mbappe. They are thinking of joining the race seriously soon. However their offer is rumoured to be a cash plus player kind of one. But PSG are really desperate to sell him as long as they get a reasonable offer. They would accept Chelsea's offer if they don't keep the cash at a low level.
They accepted an offer of 300 million euros by Al Hilal in the end. They wouldn't like to accept a much lower offer than that. Mbappe was giving green light to coming to the Premier League once. But I don't know if he thinks the same now while there is a Real Madrid option.

There are still many more names which are rumoured to leave Bayern Munich these days. Sommer, Gnabry, Davies and Goretzka are the most rumoured ones lately. Gravenberch is also likely to leave. If they lose all of these players they had better have a plan to fill their places in the squad. It is important for them to keep the squad quality as high as possible.
Gnarby and Davies are still young enough and well enough to play for Bayern Munich. I understand if Bayern want to sell Sommer and Goretzka but I disagree if they want to do the same for Gnarby and Davies. In pandemic, Davies grew up quickly and contributed to help Bayern Munich winning Champions League. He did not play too well in the last season but as said he is young and his performance is at least acceptable in quality. I agree with you about Davies and Gnabry. Gnabry has already been a beneficial player for Bayern Munich. He had similar statistics in the previous season as well. Why did Bayern Munich start to think of selling him suddenly? He still has 3 more years left on his contract too so there is no such thing like he is in his last year and doesn't want to extend. Davies is also a really promising left back. He is only 22 years old now but already has a market value of 70 million euros. If I were in their place I would definitely keep him and try to extend his contract. Because he is in his last two years of his contract. If they don't extend until the end of the season they had better sell him before he leaves on free transfer. |

Barcelona were so close to having Dembele's release clause going up to 100 million euros. Today must be the last day for it to be 50 million euros. But it looks like PSG have made a big progress and they are likely to finish the deal today.
After Dembele leaves it is said Barcelona will use that money to sign Cancelo. You know Cancelo was loaned to Bayern Munich previously and he seems like an unwanted player for Manchester City. This is really an opportunity for Barcelona to sign him.

Yes they have a lot of players and have also brought in some good names too. Imo Chelsea will make the UCL. I’m so sure of this but they won’t win the league. They don’t have European distractions. Pochettino have given them a sense of play and they’re bonding and finding the rhythm this preseason. They will make the CL, people are underestimating what being totally out of Europe brings in term of squad's fitness. It's three teams that one can boldly say are ahead of them.
In the next season, Chelsea cannot be underestimated with their new squad, but Chelsea just needs to focus better on a position that can bring them into the UCL next season. Because I'm also not sure that Chelsea can win the Premier League next season, but if it's just fighting for the top four in the standings, I think it can be very possible for Chelsea. With a new coach at Chelsea, they will definitely have a different spirit next season, especially in terms of trying to be in a better position. I don't think Chelsea's squad is fully ready for this season yet. Because so many players have left the team in this transfer window like I said before. After completing all of their transfers they will be ready. Even with their current squad they aren't so weak of course. They had a really good squad in the previous season as well. But due to bad management and the high level of drop in the morale of the players they had a really poor season. This isn't a thing that can't be reversed of course. Chelsea had such bad times in their past too. I hope to see them making a stronger return by this season. |

We rarely see a different champion in this league from now on. Lille's championship was an example of high consistency. Otherwise they didn't have a squad quality that could even race with PSG's. They showed a much more extra performance in that season to make it to the title. Consistency was the key for them.
However we don't see it from such teams often because it is a really difficult task to perform while you don't have a high level squad. Lens were the team that might have had a chance but they couldn't stay more consistent than PSG. They only needed a few more points while PSG were having a more inconsistent season.

Inter's defense focused game was really working well against Manchester City. Maybe they lost but it was still not a humiliating type of loss. They could have even turned things around if they didn't waste big goal opportunities. Therefore I believe Inter also deserved to win that title with their smart game.
Manchester City will need to learn to stay stronger against this kind of teams as well. Otherwise they might get eliminated by such team in a really unexpected time. They play easier against teams playing an attacking game or the ones with weak defenses. But the most challenging ones for them are like Inter which know how to deal with teams like Manchester City.

Otherwise bringing a solid striker won't be enough by itself clearly. They want to bring back their full domination and the first thing to do is this. After that it is up to Tuchel to make sure his game plan works with minimum number of problems for this team.

Arsenal are said to be interested in Kvaratskhelia and Kudus both. But I don't know if they are still willing to spend much more money now. Especially Kvaratskhelia's cost would be very high for them. Both of them are really skilled players so transferring even one of them would be quite beneficial for Arsenal.
I think Napoli's demand for Kvaratskhelia will be very high. There is no release clause for him and I think they would want 100 million euros minimum for him. Therefore going for Kudus might be better if they don't want to splurge on a player again like they did with Rice.

For now it seems like Joao Felix is staying at Atletico Madrid. He has been rumoured with some teams but his asking price is quite high. In this case it wouldn't be easy for him to be signed on a permanent deal. He still has 4 more years with the team as well. I think the biggest thing that can happen now could be to see him being loaned to another team again.
Until Simeone leaves the team which is likely to happen at the end of his current contract Felix is likely to continue his life like this. But after Atletico Madrid bring a new manager Felix can start to find a place for himself in the team finally maybe.

Harry Kane is loyal to his team Tottenham, but still, we know any player will leave his team one day and for a 30-year-old player like Harry Kane this season is a good chance to leave Tottenham and join a better team to achieve whatever he wants, otherwise, he can't he this chance in the next season. Also, Tottenham can earn a good amount of money for selling this player from this deal.
I think right now it's a purely monetary issue and Tottenham are just trying to bargain for a big price for the player. Therefore, I think that Ken's transition is a matter of the near future. No wonder the leaders of Bavaria are going to England again. Kane has been too loyal to his team so far and I don't think this has been good for him at all. I don't know how much he cares about what he should have won many titles so far. Because with that performance level in the biggest European league you are literally one of the biggest star players now. He is finally not eager to extend his contract with Tottenham anymore. He could have done this when he was much younger though. But there is still enough time for him to start winning titles considering his current age. I expect Bayern Munich to complete the signing with their third offer. |

There are so many players who have left Chelsea so far. However the number of players Chelsea have brought as replacements isn't at a satisfying level yet. On one hand the new season is closing in on us. They had better increase their attempts for filling the gaps in the squad. There are so many players on their radar for now.
Michael Olise is a strong target for them now but he is watched by Manchester City as well. Caicedo transfer will cost them quite high amount of money. Ugochukwu is another defensive midfielder who is rumoured but I don't know if he is as talented as Caicedo.

It was technically a friendly game between Barcelona and Real Madrid even if it is El Clasico. Therefore I would have waited for the players to have a sportsmanlike game. But at a moment of the game there was a really serious dive by a Barcelona player and the tension got really high right after that.
Nobody would like to see any of their player getting injured in a pre-season friendly game for sure. Apart from that Real Madrid's statistics were decent actually but they couldn't score a goal anyway. Barcelona got a really solid win by 3-0 especially thanks to the goals came in the last moments.

Mbappe's absence will surely cause PSG to lose power. However it isn't the end of the world for PSG either. They couldn't become champions in the Champions League even with Mbappe. It has been related to the management style of the team more than anything. Now Mbappe is entering his last season here.
In his last season he is going to play under Luis Enrique's management. If we see Enrique as the right man for PSG to become really competitive for the Champions League title maybe they can finally win it in presence of Mbappe as well.

Manchester United should just get rid of Maguire as soon as possible and look for a replacement. The replacement doesn't need to be a high-priced defender either because he is most likely to be a rotation player. While there are Varane and Martinez it isn't easy to get the shirt from any of them.
But they had better find a defender who they can rely on when there is an injury situation for the main defenders. Because we saw how Martinez and Varane both got injured at the same time for some time last season. They should be able to keep their defense solid in this situation too.

Congratulations to Manchester United for completing the signing of Rasmus Hojlund finally. The details of the deal is said to be like 70 million euros transfer fee with add-ons. It is going to be a five-year deal for the Red Devils. Hojlund has been keen on joining Manchester United more than the other candidates reportedly.
But as I said before there is still a question mark about his future performance. He hasn't been very impressive just as Haaland was before joining Manchester City for example. Hojlund is also said to have a quite big potential but he needs to prove this to everyone.

Are you thinking about teams have ideas for opening with Europe Super League always become target for suspending?
I believe that you raised a vital question here. With the competition that is now coming from the Saudi Professional League and also the investment fund involved, one risk of being too strict with clubs from European leagues could be that they in return threaten to support the foundation of a new Super League, for instance if it is originating from the Saudi Professional League or the investors backing everything that is flowing into the sport these days. First of all I think the Europe Super League format is never going to happen. Even after it was announced by some top teams UEFA seemed really frustrated about it. They already planned to impose sanction on the teams that are a part of that project. Right after hearing about that we have seen all the teams withdrawing from the project. UEFA would surely continue to threaten the teams coming with similar ideas. As long as not enough number of teams agree upon not giving up their decision about creating a new format UEFA can easily do what they want as usual. |

It is really unfortunate for Arda Guler to have no choice other than returning to Madrid early. Because due to his injury he will miss pre-season games and will have to work much harder to reach the level of the others later. He is a really talented player of course so I believe in him to work hard for that.
Because he didn't want to leave Real Madrid for a different team on loan. He wanted to stay and fight for his place in the team. This must be a positive sign about him to be a hardworking player. Kroos also said that he believes Arda has a really nice talent.

Luton Town are one of the new teams in the Premier League this season. They have surely made a lot of money after promoting to this league as well. However they haven't made so many or any dramatic transfers so far. They had better increase their attempts for better players if they want to challenge for not relegating again. Sure, being promoted to the UCL will make this club get additional income. I meant all the club's supporters who are eager to see their favorite team compete in the highest competition in England will fill the stadium.. Luton has not made yet a lot of money from being promoted to the EPL. The money raised last season used for stadium renovation. Luton doesn't have a lot of money. You can hope this one will get investors to put money on this club. Because the Premier League is way tougher than the Championship. It is extra difficult for them to try to hold onto the league with a low quality squad. I would like to see an activity from them similar to Nottingham when they also promoted to this league.
Agreed, that makes me think that if luton will be relegated again next season. The quality owned by luton is still far from being able to compete in the EPL. Luton was lucky enough caused by it was winning in the play off. At least this can become a very good experience for luton town. It's a small club. It doesn't have a stadium with huge capacity. Luton doesn't have a lot of money to strengthen its squad too. I hope this club will be lucky enough to compete in EPL. Even leicester city already are relegated due to the how competitive EPL is right now. Normally Luton weren't a rich team yeah. However now they must have made a lot of money just because of their promotion to the Premier League. It is the same for all the teams promoting to this league every season you know. I assume the board gave them a decent transfer budget after earning a huge amount of money like this. Of course they can't bring big names but they can still strengthen their squad with average level players as well. They need to do this if they want to stay in the Premier League one more season as I said. I wonder what the board expectation is for this season. |

I'm still behind my words about Mane. I think that he did the best for himself. Because he couldn't even play in his main position as much as he wanted last season. He didn't even play in nearly all games in that season. Why would he want to stay? If Tuchel was planning to use him in the starting eleven continually and stated that then maybe he would have stayed.
But Tuchel also didn't care about his leaving or staying. I still don't understand why Bayern Munich gave up on a player like Mane easily. They were going to bring Kane most probably as well so it would have been nice to see an attacking line with Mane and Kane.

Inter are the number one contender for the league title this time according to bookies. They have made a really good progress recently and I'm also expecting them to be more competitive this time. In the previous season they were having defensive issues at the beginning and it lasted quite long. This prevented them from entering the race.
However they stand much more solid now. We have all seen how they played against Manchester City in the Champions League finale too. If they keep up this level they can surely be one of the biggest contenders for winning the title here. I wonder how strong the other teams can answer them (especially Napoli).
