Inter want to sign Merih Demiral. Inter seems to be the biggest suitor for Merih, who is not expected to stay in Atalanta. The team playing in the Champions League final wants to strengthen the defensive line. They should definitely get a quality player to replace Milan kriniar. I'm not sure if Merih is the right name for them. Another candidate is Trevoh Chalobah, but this player has a long career ahead of him to prove himself more. I think Inter should spend a little more money and focus on higher level players.
Inter are really in need of a centre-back now after releasing Skriniar. I still don't understand why they parted their ways with Skriniar in the first place. He is a really great defender and he should have been kept for a longer amount of time. Now they will need to find a solid replacement to be able to fill his place nicely. Merih Demiral is a target for Fenerbahce as well but their chance would be much lower than Inter technically. I'm not sure about Chalobah. I think Inter can find better alternatives than him. Inter should have some decent transfer budget to spend actually. I agree that they should pay more and find a more reliable defender. |

A few days ago Barcelona canceled the contract with Umtiti and now they don't have to pay 20m salary to him still they are trying to decrease the salary they have to pay for some players and that's why Barcelona is selling some players or canceling some contracts to save more money while It's time for them to do something about Dest and Lenglet.
Xavi doesn't need these two players. Dest is going to return from Milan and they don't need this player anymore that's why he should return to Barcelona.
But Lenglet's performance in Tottenham was not bad however he also should return to his team.
Samuel Umtiti was once called as one of the really talented centre-backs. He was brought to Barcelona for a really cheap price as well. However he couldn't continue to develop his game much in time and he became an unnecessary player for the team after a point. Now he is out of contract and I don't even see a single rumour about him. Barcelona had better keep the defense line strong at the end of the day. They need to get stronger in the Champions League this time. Their attacking line is strong for now but the defense should also be kept solid to prevent themselves from losing in big matches easily in the Champions League. |

For now Kovacic is the only transfer made by Manchester City this summer. However they have been working on completing a way bigger deal for a long time. They are after Gvardiol as you know and their latest offer was really close to the amount Leipzig wanted for him. I still don't see any update on these negotiations but I assume Manchester City wouldn't stop until securing the deal.
Guardiola has been eager to see him in his team for a long time. This is going to be a really serious improvement in their defense and they will be even more challenging to be stopped. Maybe Gvardiol is a very young player for a defender but he is already impressive with his defending skills.

I don't remember the previous Austrian GP as this much problematic. It looked like this time there were many more deleted laps than before. Sainz's race really turned into a nightmare after these results. But not only the time penalty he got caused this to happen of course. Ferrari really destroyed his race by a really bad pit.
Norris and Alonso were really in profit after the latest version of the results. Normally especially Alonso didn't have an impressive race. I'm happy for Norris because he was really having issues with maintaining a good performance in races despite having a solid result in qualifying.

Despite selling Nkunku for a really nice amount Leipzig still have four strikers in the squad. Benjamin Sesko is their new signing who arrived at the team yesterday. They signed him for 24 million euros and he can be another player to shine in this league to draw the attention of bigger teams later. His performance with Salzburg was really decent despite his young age (20).
However with Sorloth's returning to the team as well after his loan spell ended there are 4 strikers. I wonder how Leipzig are going to handle the situation. Maybe Sorloth can be loaned again. But if I were in their place I would have got rid of Poulsen instead. I don't think he is good enough to be here now.

I'm curious about whether Inter can live up to the expectations from them for next season. Because they are the number one contenders for the league title according to bookies. After seeing the previous season in the Serie A it is really hard to believe in Inter that much honestly for now. Of course they weren't consistent and that was why they were out of a title race in the first place.
Maybe bookies are considering that Inter would maintain the current level and that would be enough to become champions in the end. But it is still early to make sure of it. Besides they are losing some players one by one recently. Dzeko, Lukaku and who knows who else will be leaving this summer. Di Maria is also leaving for example.
In fact, the expectations from Inter are not so great - a 30% chance of becoming champions is, at least formally, and being a favorite in this case, but in fact, if we take the situation "against all", then this means being an underdog. As for Inter's problems, they exist, but competitors also have them, and now it is difficult to single out someone from the Inter-Napoli-Juventus trio. Milan is close, but they look weaker than this trio. I agree with you. Milan can't give much hope to their supporters these days. Because they have some issues to solve first. They should start with bringing a solid centre-forward this summer. Maybe their productivity wasn't that bad in the previous season. But they can't rely on Giroud or Origi from now on. Giroud is 36 years old and in a couple of months he is going to be 37. I assume Milan would part ways with him after his last season on his contract. Origi is a big disappointment as he just can't score goals properly. It is like he was way better at Liverpool. |

Simply De Gea didn't want to accept any cut in his salary and there was a disagreement between him and the team. Otherwise there was no reason for De Gea not to extend for a couple of more years. Because his performance was still at an impressive level. Manchester United must also be confident to replace him with a solid goalkeeper that they don't seem very sad.
Onana is indeed their priority now. He still has 4 more years on his contract though. His market value isn't much but I assume Inter wouldn't be very keen on selling him right away for a cheap price. But Manchester United are a rich team so they would be ready to sign him by paying some more money.
Manchester United tries to cut off David De Gea salary and he won't accepted with United offering, finally De Gea become free agent after not reach agreement deal. Actually, De Gea has impressive performance in this season with Manchester United but looks crucial with United want to cut off his salary for extending contract. Manchester United looks difficult for signing Inter Milan goals keeper Andre Onana because high transfer fees and United not any option awhile except finding replacement for De Gea position. Crucial with Manchester United won't accept with De Gea contract extend without cut off his salary, actually he has 7 years with Manchester United but can't get special offering from United for extend one or two season later. It has been a 12-year journey for De Gea with Manchester United. He is still not too old for a goalkeeper as well and his performance should have been enough to convince the board to give what he wanted. If somehow this Onana transfer doesn't happen I wonder if they have another formula. If they can't fill De Gea's place with another solid goalkeeper this is just a really serious problem for the Red Devils. Because in times they weren't able to defend their opponents well De Gea took a huge responsibility. They need a goalkeeper with similar characteristics. |

Atletico Madrid got an additional player for the defense from Chelsea, namely César Azpilicueta. Because his contract expired at the end of June, César Azpilicueta's status became a free agent and Atletico took advantage of this opportunity to secure the services of the Chelsea veteran. His contract with Atletico lasted for two seasons and it was a good deal for César Azpilicueta to finish his career at Atletico. Diego Simeone certainly can't wait to give direction to the former Chelsea captain and his experience will certainly provide motivation for other Atletico players. Source: https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1675030473834389505Azpilicueta is going to become 34 at the end of next month. This isn't a big transfer for Atletico Madrid. Simeone must have only wanted to increase the number of alternatives for right-back position. Because there has been only Molina there until they sign Azpilicueta. Maybe Azpilicueta would show a decent performance for one season but I don't expect more than that. It looks like Atletico Madrid don't plan to make a big signing this summer. The rumours are also not much these days. They were intending to make an offer for Lee Kang-in but he is about to sign for PSG soon. Theo Hernandez might also be a target but let's see. |

Cole Palmer rumours have started to spread around recently. According to these rumours Dortmund are seriously interested in signing him from Manchester City. After selling Bellingham for a really satisfying level of fee Dortmund must be searching for their next target to bring to the team and help him grow his skills to shine here.
Palmer is a strong candidate for that as it seems. He is still 21 years old which is a quite young age and open to development. However he has a contract until 2026 now. I feel like Manchester City would only loan him to them as they might also have plans for him in the future. His market value is really low though so I wonder how negotiations will go.

Al Hilal have been searching for a top manager in Europe. They made offers to Mourinho and Allegri first but both of them turned down their big offers. Maybe the scenario would have been more different if one of these managers was without club now. Jorge Jesus was another solid manager and he was free agent after leaving Fenerbahce.
Al Hilal managed to sign a deal with him finally. I think it is a reasonable move for him as well. Because I don't know if he would be able to find a solid European team for himself to manage currently. It is better to make a good amount of money for him in this time period.

Verstappen's gap with Perez was really humiliating. Perez actually had a strong start and took the lead. But it didn't took him a long time to lose the lead to Verstappen. Both drivers seemed quite angry at each other at the beginning. I don't expect a big achievement by Perez like finishing on podium in this race.
There is a huge decrease in his performance these days and Ricciardo's probability of taking his place soon is increasing day by day. Ricciardo and Verstappen don't have a good history though but we don't see the same competitive Ricciardo anymore for now.

After 18 years it would be a really special moment for Ramos and Sevilla both to reunite again. However there are some Saudi Arabian teams like Al-Ahli and Al-Ittihad after him on one hand. As Ramos is 37 years old now I'm not sure if he would like to return to Sevilla now. While he is becoming a free agent I think it is the best for him to go for making more money for a couple of years in Saudi Arabia.
After that he can just retire. Ramos can still show a decent performance I assume but I have big doubts about whether he is still competitive for achievements in European football.

If I compare between Bayern Munich and Dortmund, I think I'm more interested in Dortmund. Because after all, Bayern Munich only has a record as a club that really dominates the Bundesliga by winning consecutive titles. But in fact, Bayern Munich also quite often get great players from Dortmund. Also about Dortmund, even though Dortmund often sell key players and star players, but Dortmund has always managed to build a team well. The proof is, Dortmund has always managed to challenge Bayern Munich in the title race and because of that, I think Dortmund is a very unique team. Because no team can produce great players every season like Dortmund and also be willing to sell them, it's like a tradition that only Dortmund seems to have.
You can't compare Dortmund to Bayern Munich because Munich are the best club in the Bundesliga, they are in the top every season in the league and even perform well in the Champions League but last season their performance was very weak, and they too are in the best club in the world, last seasons Dortmund try there best to win the league but they can't, and now they need some players because they sold their best midfielder in Dortmund to Bayern Munich. I'm not the one who made that post, it is @hahay. It seems like you have quoted the wrong person. 
I wonder what Bayern Munich's plans are about signing a centre-forward these days. They made their first offer for Kane but it was way lower than the amount Levy wanted for him. Considering that the first offer was around 75 million euros or so it doesn't seem like Bayern Munich are keen on spending 100 million or above for Kane. Honestly I started to think that they won't pay that much for him and instead they will go for cheaper alternatives. |

İsmail Kartal is a name who became champion with Fenerbahce in the Super League two times. Both championships were many years ago though but this can still be a sign for Fenerbahce to put an end to their longing for being champions in the league. Whoever manages the team he won't have a comfortable work to do for sure of course.
Especially Galatasaray have been doing a really impressive work and they are likely to maintain this look by new season as well. İsmail Kartal needs to work harder than Jorge Jesus to bring the title to his team. Otherwise he might be next to get sacked after completing one season.

Nunez of course deserves another shot. Liverpool signed him for a really big amount of money. They can't give up on him after only one season. It is the truth that he hasn't been very impressive with his finishing skills since he joined Liverpool. He was amazing while he was playing for Benfica. It looks like he needs more time to reach that level.
Nunez is normally capable of competing with Haaland and Kane both for being the top scorer in a season. After Firmino's departure the expectation from him will be higher than before. He will have more chances to prove himself to the team as well. Hopefully we can see his real performance by the beginning of new season.

Manchester United didn't want to intervene for Kim Min-jae unlike my expectation. Because they could have entered the race with Bayern Munich by paying more money before his release clause becomes active. At worst they would cause Bayern Munich to pay more money to sign him in the end. It doesn't look like Manchester United prioritize a centre-back transfer.
Of course after the Mount signing they had better focus on signing a striker. Rashford should be left winger mostly and they can do a great work in a much more consistent way with a solid striker addition. After Bayern Munich's poor offer for Kane I wonder whether the Red Devils would offer an improved version of that amount - 75 million euros was the offer by Bayern Munich.

I don't feel like Liverpool and Mbappe thing will get real soon. Real Madrid have already been on the line to sign him and he is also keen on signing for them. I don't see Liverpool winning a race to pay more money for him either. Because Real Madrid wouldn't refrain from offering the same. Liverpool should look for some other players as a result.
Real Madrid will be signing Mbappe sooner or later. The president Perez doesn't want to rush anything for now. But if PSG make a statement like they are selling him now then things can change quickly. The same thing is valid again if Liverpool or some other team make an official offer suddenly.

Szoboszlai is a really talented playmaker and his performance at Leipzig this season was impressive as well. His main position is attacking midfield but he can play on both wings at the same time. Leipzig had him on the right wing mostly for the season we have left behind. It didn't matter for him anyway as he was productive.
This will be a really decent signing for Liverpool. Since Mane's arrival there has still been something missing there. Diaz's arrival has been really great but it was still not enough exactly. If Szoboszlai adapts here quickly he can strengthen the attacking line a lot.

Lazio have made a big progress by this season as well. They finished the 2021/22 season at the 5th position. But they have improved their success rate by collecting 10 more points and finishing as the 2nd. Roma and Lazio have been the teams I have been following closely to see which one will be more successful. Lazio are better for now.
Roma board have been hoping for a big improvement with Mourinho in the Serie A. Unfortunately they couldn't do it again. Their main target must be to finish the league in top 4. Despite Juventus' punishment Roma still couldn't make it there. Roma project still continues with him as it seems. Let's see if they will prove me wrong this time.
