I have been hearing about Bayern Munich to make big changes in the squad by sending quite many players from the team. However there is still no such action while there isn't a long time period left for the beginning of new season. If they have such plans they had better do it in time. Otherwise they might need time to have a good chemistry during the season.
Mane has been the most rumoured player to leave as you know but for now there is nothing on the table. If he leaves it is most probably going to be a Saudi team. Tuchel is actually okay with his leaving this summer so it looks like it will be the best for Mane as well.
I don't think Bayern Munich will want to sell sadio mane because they know he is still useful for the club even if mane didn't show much performance in the club last season, mane still remain a gofbod player and will be needed by the club. I have been expecting change of players from Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich not having the right players in the right position was also a challenge to them last season. This new season I expect them to form a strong squad. Mane can technically be useful as long as he plays as a left winger rather than a centre-forward or with some other role. This is possible only if Bayern Munich complete the striker signing in the coming days. They are still trying to finish the Kane signing and then maybe we might see a good relationship in the attacking line between Kane and Mane. But this is all an assumption of me of course. I don't know what in Tuchel's mind is now. Maybe he isn't thinking of Mane as priority for now. But I would have definitely given Mane a chance in his natural position. He can still be very productive and I don't know with whom they can fill his place strongly either. |

The Red Devils had better be convincing with their offer to Atalanta. But I think they will start with a much lower fee then the amount Atalanta expects classically. But the Red Devils really need a striker as there is only Martial if we think Rashford as playing on his wing.
Rasmus Hojlund is quite expensive, his market value is €50 Millions, I think Manchester United need to spend €50-60 Millions. His performance in Atalanta wasn't that good, but his performance in Denmark is quite good and he's still 20 years old, so there's a potential he could develop become a great player. Manchester United need a new striker, they always lack of striker and Rashford is forced to play in this position. Actually in today's football 50 million euros for a player isn't that expensive. Especially if that player has a good potential for the future I mean. Besides if the team to pay that amount are rich then they wouldn't even be affected very badly in terms of finances. Manchester United are one of the rich teams of course. 50-60 million euros wouldn't be found enough by Atalanta most probably. I heard that they could ask for 80 million. It feels like the Red Devils can find a middle way at 65-70 million euros to finish this deal. However do they really want him that much? We will see that. |

Lautaro Martinez has long years ahead of him to continue to play in Europe. There is literally no reason for him to join a Saudi Arabian or MLS team in the near future. He is happy at Inter for now and he has become an indispensable player for his team with this performance on one hand. Inter wouldn't even be keen on selling him to bigger European teams unless they get a very good offer.
He was once linked with Real Madrid but it was a long time ago. I don't think Real Madrid will make such signing this summer.

There are more and more news about Vlahovic leaving Juventus.
Hard to tell at the moment whether they are clickbait or not.
3 teams seem to be interested in him, Real Madrid, PSG, and Bayern Munich
We have already known about PSG's interest and it is a really serious one. He seems to be a priority for them currently. But they are thinking of Hojlund as a second option as well. When it comes to the other two teams you mentioned Bayern Munich's priority seems to be to finish Kane deal for now. For Real Madrid I can just say that I haven't heard of any serious news linking them with any striker recently. But Vlahovic should be a good option for them as well actually. They still need to fill Benzema's place in the team. |

Manchester United are preparing to make their first offer for Rasmus Hojlund. It has been recorded that PSG also have an interest in the player. This makes me surprised because as far as I know their priority is to finish the Vlahovic signing. Maybe they are interested in case some problem happens in the Vlahovic deal. I don't think Hojlund is a priority for them.
The Red Devils had better be convincing with their offer to Atalanta. But I think they will start with a much lower fee then the amount Atalanta expects classically. But the Red Devils really need a striker as there is only Martial if we think Rashford as playing on his wing.

I'm curious about Leverkusen's new season performance as well. They have made good progress with Xabi Alonso so far. They were near relegation zone before him and after he came they finished the season at the 6th position which helped them qualify for the Europa League group stage. This is just a wonderful improvement in performance.
But from now on the board would keep their expectations higher from Xabi Alonso. Their target would be to fight for top 4 to earn a Champions League spot just as they did previously. This isn't the most difficult task for him of course thinking of the capability of the players. Consistency will be key at this point.

Milan's performance was really interesting in the Champions League unlike the Serie A. They eliminated Napoli as well indeed and it is thanks to their experience in this tournament too. Because technically Napoli were the better playing side in that matchup but Milan still found a way to get past them. Reaching the semi finals there was definitely a success for Milan.
But on the other hand they might not have been able to qualify for the Champions League again if it weren't for Juventus' 10-point punishment. Juventus were going to take their place in that case. Milan should make a good improvement in their Serie A performance this time.

Joselu is good for only the La Liga not for the Champions League. I don't think he is quality enough to take a big responsibility in Champions League games to bring success to the team. Real Madrid's aim is to win the Champions League title every year. They need to build a squad according to that as a result.
There is a huge gap between Joselu and Benzema at this point. I think Real Madrid should definitely make a much more reliable striker transfer for the Champions League before the season starts. Otherwise Vinicius Junior will have even a bigger responsibility in Champions League games.
Yes, Joselu can't take the big responsibility in Champions League games. He can't replace Benzema. Ancelotti just put Joselu on temporary substitute status. As for Vlahovic, he is not on Real Madrid's radar. Harry Kane would be a good choice to replace Benzema, but Real Madrid may have put all their efforts into preparing for a super blockbuster transfer to bring Mbappe to the Santiago Bernabeu. This is a perfect alternative that couldn't be better. Mbappe can bring the royal team Real Madrid back to the era of European dominance, just like Cristiano Ronaldo did. Yeah Joselu must have been brought as an alternative. He can find more chances in the La Liga especially against much smaller teams. But Real Madrid should focus on making their main striker transfer immediately. There are only three weeks to go for the new season. The earlier they finish this signing the better for them. When it comes to who can be brought it is really hard to predict for now. Because while Bayern Munich are trying to finish Kane deal Real Madrid still don't want to intervene. Vlahovic is also not a target for them as it seems while PSG are making an effort to complete the signing. |

With the Gvardiol addition Manchester City defense line will be much more secure surely. The deal is soon to become official between sides. He is only a 21-year-old defender maybe but his performance tells us the opposite. It makes me feel like he is already a quality experienced defender. Mostly this much young defenders are prone to making simple mistakes often.
But Gvardiol is really different. He is great at keeping a balance in his game and this is another attracting point for Manchester City. It wouldn't be surprising to see him in the starting lineup in a short time after his joining the team as well.

Real Madrid are really much weaker without a striker like Benzema now. That's why I'm seeing it certain that Real Madrid will bring a decent centre-forward this summer. But I don't understand why they aren't interested in Vlahovic while PSG are about to finish the signing soon. I believe he is one of the best alternatives for Real Madrid for this season.
I don't know maybe they don't want to rush this transfer in case something happens about Mbappe's situation. In the end we can still see another team trying to sign Mbappe by making a huge offer. In that case Real Madrid would like to save their funds for Mbappe transfer as they will need to spend insane amount of money.
Benzema was the main striker of Real Madrid. So losing Benzema will definitely weaken Madrid's attack. However, Ancelotti chose Joselu as a replacement for Benzema. Joselu is nothing to ignore. He is a very talented player. He managed to score a lot of goals even against a team as weak as Espanyol. So I would say if Joselu can adapt himself well to the Madrid squad he should be able to score a lot of goals. Madrid management does not want to rush to get Mbappe into the team. They definitely need a talented striker. But it is also important to consider whether Mbappe is suited to Ancelotti's strategy. I wouldn't be too surprised if Ancelotti doesn't include Mbappe in his match plan. Because Mbappe plays a bit selfishly. He does not want to cooperate with his teammates. Joselu is good for only the La Liga not for the Champions League. I don't think he is quality enough to take a big responsibility in Champions League games to bring success to the team. Real Madrid's aim is to win the Champions League title every year. They need to build a squad according to that as a result. There is a huge gap between Joselu and Benzema at this point.

Dortmund have slowed down a little about their young player transfers these days. They have brought amazing names to the team so far such as Haaland and Bellingham. Their total profit in the sales of these two players was really good. There are a lot of talented players in the pool right now surely. Dortmund just don't want to rush anything for now.
Maybe a central midfielder transfer would be really good for Dortmund. Because it was Bellingham's main position and now there isn't anyone there whose position is that naturally. They can surely look for a big talent like Bellingham for this position.
I'm not sure if Dortmund is doing the right thing because we know making money from selling younger players is a good move and they can use the money to achieve their goals and they can help the younger talents to grow but like that, they are losing the title in Gundesliha every season. As soon as Bellingham went to Real Madrid, I'm sure Dormound got a smaller chance to win the title compared to the last season when they were racing Bayern Munich for the title. Honestly I would also like to see the Bundesliga being more competitive from now on. The previous season was really nice in terms of that but it was thanks to Bayern Munich's not being completely themselves. It still didn't change the result when it comes to the team to achieve the league title though. I understand Dortmund that they want to keep their finances as high as possible at least while they can't become a title winner here. But I hope someday they decide to be more competitive for the title by taking the right steps for it. |

I'm curious about Chelsea the most now. Because they had a horrible season and now they are starting off with a clean slate with Pochettino. So many players have left the team to join Saudi Arabian teams mostly. They have been trying to keep the squad as solid as possible since then. Squad depth is also very important for Chelsea to have a good start to the season.
I don't expect the same thing to happen to Chelsea this season as well. I believed that the manager choice was completely wrong for Chelsea in the previous season. Pochettino will hopefully be a much better choice than Potter. Their target should be to fight for top 4 for this season.

Vlahovic deal is expected to be announced by PSG in the near future. They must be finishing the agreement and signing behind the scenes. This will push Juventus to sign a new striker to fill his place. That striker is probably going to be Lukaku for now. I assume Allegri would like to continue to adopt a formation with two strikers after he comes.
Lukaku is used to playing like that and he would be more useful in that way. He can play beside Milik mostly and sometimes with Kean as well. Inter officials got very angry after hearing about his negotiating with Juventus for more money. Inter is just a dream for Lukaku from now on.

I think Barcelona won't be interested in him based on their financial problems. And in general, based on the financial problems of the Catalans we can say that for another 10 years they will have little interest in expensive players and stars. So there are two options left, either France or Saudi Arabia. Depends what he wants, money or continuation of a good career
I wonder where some of you get your news from. How can you say Barcelona will have little interest in an expensive player. Just a season after their new manager took over they spent €55m on Lewandoski, but in 10 years they wouldn't be able to afford a €100m signing? It seems a lot of people don't even understand the situation in Barcelona. Silva is interested in signing for Barcelona and he has told them his interest and is willing to wait for them. Man City value the player for around €90m. Now where thing get interesting is that Manchester City are interested in Raphina. So there could be a real deal but it seems there will be cash involved. Negotiate are ongoing and we'll see if anything can come out of it. Barcelona have money now actually. It isn't the problem standing in front of them about signing expensive players now. It is all about financial fair-play in the La Liga. Its rules are creating a big obstacle for Barcelona to make signings whatever they would like. This must be quite annoying for the team as well. Otherwise for example we were going to watch Messi at Barcelona instead of Inter Miami. Because he was prioritizing returning to Barcelona. But the current problems prevented Barcelona from satisfying his demands. |

Luis Diaz is wanted by a Saudi Arabian team but Liverpool didn't find their offer good enough so they rejected it. However I don't think Diaz is sad about this even a bit. Because he isn't only a very young player to go there but also he has been showing a really impressive performance for Liverpool. There is no meaning in selling him for Liverpool right now.
It is already not easy to fill Mane's place exactly. Diaz is at least trying to be as active as possible in the attacking line. Liverpool should be keeping him this summer.

Inter failed to be in a title race in the previous season because indeed their start was really bad. They were struggling with defense issues and conceding so many goals. Even though they didn't have scoring issues it was still not enough to have a balance between things. After the World Cup they made a much better comeback but it was too late for a title race.
But I think they will have a better start this time. They have seemed to have solved the majority of the defense issues these days. If they maintain this and keep being effective in scoring as well they should be in the title race from the beginning. I wonder how good Marcus Thuram will play too if we see him in the starting lineup.

Rashford has extended his contract to 2028 and congrats to Manchester United on that big success. I call it big success because Rashford is technically the most important player for the team currently. As of Erik ten Hag's arrival we have watched a completely different Rashford. He has been showing his skills way more since then.
He scored many goals and made many assists previously. It is crucial for Manchester United to keep him as long as possible. On one hand they are on the Hojlund transfer. Atalanta want only cash deal not any player included in it. I think the agreement will happen soon as his transfer fee is not that high.
