Griezmann was delivering sensational kind of football in his first spell at Atletico Madrid but has failed to deliver kind of football in his second spell.
I don't know which Griezmann you watched but the Antoine Griezmann of Atletico was exceptional last season. Griezmann was even in the La Liga team of the season and was a candidate for the player of the season. If he feels Saudi is the best decision for him then fine. Atletico need money and they might be happy to sell, but I doubt they would want to lose Griezmann. Griezmann still wants to stay at Atletico and Atletico still want to keep Griezmann but they might sell him to balance the books if a good offer arrives. just like you. I think that after Joao Felix didn't impress, Atletico Madrid will rely more on Griezmann for next season. Moreover, Joao Felix jersey number has been used by Griezmann so there is no gap for Atletico Madrid to sell Griezmann in this transfer window. But if a fantastic offer comes, it is likely that Atletico Madrid will be ready to lose Griezmann in this transfer window. Seeing some of the posts above it is very confusing, I mean Griezmann wasn't too bad last season and he even scored a lot of goals last season. So there is a question why Atletico Madrid would want to let go of their best star if they need his contribution next season. maybe they meant joao felix . lol |

Chelsea to win the Premier League title? It is a really far possibility for now. We need to be realistic now. Chelsea had a very poor season and they are going to try to collect themselves new. Pochettino can hopefully be the savior for them this season. Even if they are seen in the fight for top four during this season it would still be a serious progress for them.
While Manchester City are in this condition it is really difficult for any other team to make it to the title. I know Arsenal did a great job during most of the previous season. But it is hard to expect that from Chelsea for now without seeing their new season look.
Chelsea will not be able to make significant changes after dropping last season, of course they need time to be able to return to competing in the race for the EPL trophy. After all, the depth of the Chelsea squad has changed more than 100%, so they have to find their identity again after last season's unimpressive appearance. Pochettino, who is returning to the Premier League after his departure from Tottenham, will try his luck in rebuilding Chelsea this season. Chelsea is still unable to replace Manchester City as the strongest team to win the EPL trophy. So Chelsea target is most likely the top 4 before they advance in the race for the EPL trophy. |

I think this kind of thing has happened many times and it will always generate hatred from the fans. Maybe in terms of loyalty it is considered inappropriate to imitate, but at least the player has contributed fully to the team he is defending. Sometimes players also see that the potential to win titles is much more open when joining a rival team and therefore this can be beneficial from a career perspective, but not infrequently it is sometimes not what is expected. The need to anticipate unwanted things in order to stay away from guilt after joining a rival team.
Do you guys take this issue really seriously. I think this is a form of baseless rumours I mean there is no way ac milan can afford to buy osimhen in this transfer window because Ac milan's finances are not very good in this transfer window. In my opinion, Osimhen will not go to a Serie A club if he really wants to leave Napoli, of course he will try a new challenge by joining another league, be it the Premier League or Laliga. But so far the development of the Osimhen transfer saga has never reaped certainty because previously he had been linked with PSG, Chelsea and Manchester United but in the end none of these three teams were really serious about making an official bid to recruit Osimhen. |

It looks like Manchester City are willing to spend that much money so no other team can come close to Gvardiol this summer and it looks like the strategy is working even though it seems overpriced. But if I may say it's a pretty decent price for a young defender full of potential. On the other hand, Erling Haaland's price was indeed 60 million euros cheaper at that time and maybe due to the uncontrolled transfer market like today, for any big team with good finances there is no need to be confused about spending that much money.  Anyway, with the news that Gvardiol's agreement to join Manchester City made him the most expensive defender in history so far and beat the record previously held by the former Manchester United captain, Harry Maguire. I think it's quite natural that Leipzig apply the highest price for Josko Gvardiol release clause because previously they did not intend to sell Josko Gvardiol, but Manchester City is a team that can convince them to let go of Josko Gvardiol in this transfer window. At such a young age I think he's a priority in the long term and certainly one of the most promising signings Manchester City have made in this transfer window. For Gvardiol, he has big hopes after being successfully recruited by Manchester City. Therefore he can take this opportunity to show his quality and become the main choice for Pep Guardiola in every game next season. |

I watched Messi debut against CRUZ AZUL with a spectacular free kick to score the first goal of his MLS career. I was unable to watch the next two matches because of the huge time difference between my country and the US.
Cruz Azul Vs Miami, Messi 1 goal 95'
Atlanta United Vs Miami, Messi 2 goals 8', 22'
Orlando city Vs Miami, Messi 2 goals, 7' ,72'
Judging by the outstanding performance Messi has shown in the first three matches of his career, Messi will surely move forward very quickly in MLS as well as the best title of all time. Messi's five goals from the first three matches indicate a bright career ahead.
Messi changed everything when he came to MLS because he managed to bring the MLS league back to the attention of football fans. Now seeing the progress made by messi with Inter Miami I think he will be the top scorer this season because he immediately showed his best quality by scoring 5 goals from the 3 matches he has played. For Inter Miami they are a club that was founded 4 years ago but since Messi was successfully recruited in this transfer window they have become a team to be reckoned with by their opponents. Even in the Florida derby where Inter Miami was able to beat Orlando City with a score of 3-1. |

Chelsea played against Dortmund and the Chelsea players showed that they have become a more confident team. Nkunku was subbed off early in the game after he appeared to have had a contact injury, it made Chelsea supporters a bit scared that he may be out for some weeks, but later on while the game was on, he walked back to the field unassisted which was a good sign that the injury was not too serious. Mudryk is a player to watch out for next season, he looks to be more relaxed, and his pace is back. Chelsea will make Todd Boehly smile next season.
Chelsea game is quite interesting if we look at the comparison from their game last season. But so far the finishing is not that great considering the many chances they created but they failed to score. So Pochettino needs a few changes up front to be more aggressive in their goal productivity next season. Vlahovic has been a target for Pochettino in this transfer window and talks are continuing and it is hoped that a deal will be in place this week. Lukaku has been left out of Chelsea main squad because he is no longer Pochettino mainstay for next season so the transfer saga will be completed as soon as possible for the good of both parties. |

The news that I heard between Real Madrid and Mbappe's side had only been having personal talks and nothing more. And indeed a club like Real Madrid will definitely be careful in this regard. They definitely don't want to get penalized later if they do something that breaks the rules.
What is clear is that Real Madrid have made a good offer on a personal level which makes Mbappe seem confident enough to join Real Madrid next season after his contract expires. And it seems that PSG has started to realize this. So PSG is trying to release Mbappe in this transfer market. But no suitable club yet. And finally, PSG is now trying to continue to benefit by going on loan to Mbappe
interested clubs and reportedly one of the Premier League clubs, namely Liverpool, is interested in borrowing Mbappe's services for one season.
By the way, Real Madrid currently seems to have a bit of trouble in their line of attack. In the two pre-season matches Real Madrid did not show good goal productivity from their forward players.
In my opinion, Mbappe will join Real Madrid next season, not this season, because Real Madrid in this transfer window did not push themselves too hard to recruit Mbappe on the grounds that they did not want to waste the large amount of money that PSG wanted. Other than that they can count on joselu for next season before they sign mbappe next season. Mbappe transfer saga is not very interesting because he only wants to join Real Madrid, so that other teams will not be Mbappe's destination in this transfer window. Even for Liverpool, I think their attempt to borrow Mbappe will not work if you look at the current situation. |

A swap deal between Romelu Lukaku and Dusan Vlahovic popped up from Chelsea side and rest to know the details and whether Juventus will accept it this time or not.
Chelsea offered Lukaku service to Juventus in addition to extra money which wasn't clear how much it will be.
I find it an interesting move to get ride from Lukaku which wasn't helpful for them and to recruit a good player that can help them in the future.
If you look at vlahovic seriousness it seems that Chelsea want to solve this problem as soon as possible because they want to bring in vlahovic and sell Lukaku in a deal that will be carried out by Chelsea with Juventus. However, so far Juventus have not clarified their decision because so far it is still limited to long talks and there has not been a special meeting between the two envoys to find an agreement point. Vlahovic was previously targeted by many big teams from other leagues but in the end he seemed to give the green light to join Chelsea. I think Pochettino will try to make this transfer work because he doesn't want Lukaku for next season so vlahovic would be a good swap option to make. |

I have studied and argue about Bitcoin some topics which I posted and also came across in other board. Today I begin to think about the whole Idea of Decentralization, and I think the inventors of bitcoins since the idea was conceived till it was birthed has done the greatest good to humanity. With my view as at the time of writing , I think bitcoins will go long way to reduce poverty if they allow it achieve it's purpose. Reducing poverty in my context is not about profit but the peer to peer transaction mechanism. The idea of centralized exchange is very much in place because a lot of people are yet to accept bitcoins but once it become accepted by majority, I think there will definitely be no reason to convert to fiat.
I think what you mean is Bitcoin users will benefit in terms of transactions because they don't incur a lot of costs if they do it in Bitcoin. Because if someone does it with fiat surely they have to pay for third parties and also the taxes they will pay on remittances. Maybe that is the point that I digest from your words against bitcoin will reduce poverty. So in my opinion bitcoin has greater potential to advance a country as El Salvador has done because they were the first country to use Bitcoin as the first currency and as a statistic for their progress for now of course they are able to develop better than income sector from tourism where this will have a big impact on making its citizens reduce poverty. |

XRP is an altcoin whereas Ripple previously won a lawsuit against Sec in court. So Coinbase had to go back to delisting XRP on their exchange after having re-listed it in the previous two weeks. This is the latest Joke made by Sec on their opinion against Coinbase to remove all altcoins except Bitcoin on their exchange.
I think it will be quite opposed by many crypto community be it Ethereum community or XRP Community because these two Coins have big investors in them. I think this request will not be won by Sec or Coinbase will ignore it. The SEC always make the situation more complicated with their judgments or appeals. people can take risks to their finances and freedom is what they want.

As for Mourinho he hasn't still made much progress in the Serie A with Roma so far. That progress has been made well in European cups surely though. First winning the Europa Conference League title and right after that making it to the finale in the Europa League. They could have won that one as well if it weren't for Sevilla's great work.
But the board will surely expect Mourinho to finish a season in top 4 indeed. It isn't an impossible task for Roma. They just need to be more consistent with the players they have currently. I don't think their squad isn't adequate or so to perform this task as well.
Roma under Jose Mourinho coaching had a pretty good impact on their progress, be it an increase in their strength or performance in Serie A. Last season, Roma almost managed to close the season in the top 4. But the last few matches at the end of last season Roma lost a lot of points in a match that was relatively easy for them, which made Roma ranking shifted by another team. But Roma are still a strong team if we see jose mourinho is still with them because mourinho needed time to bring the scudetto trophy for Roma. In this transfer window Roma management made several changes in the depth of their squad in order to compete more strongly in next season's competition. Indeed, Jose Mourinho main target is the top 4 places because they want to experience the Champions League competition. To be honest Roma have that chance next season if they can play consistently every game. |

Sadio Mané hasn't had a good time since joining Bayern Munich from Liverpool. The star was out of the field for the entire season due to an injury at the beginning of the season, then he became a thorn in the club's neck in an argument with his teammate, which is why the club decided to sell him this season and finally sold him to the Saudi League. I think this change was necessary for Sadio Mané because he was not getting enough respect at Bayern Munich. If a player does not get enough respect from his club then he will never perform well on the field. Going from Europe to Saudi, I hope he will build a good relationship with his club teammates and perform well for his new club.
I think since Nagelsmaan was sacked, Sadio Mane started to feel things weren't too good at Bayern Munich because it was Nagelsmaan who wanted Bayern Munich to sign him. I think Sadio Mane is still in his best form and Al Nassr will not regret buying him from Bayern Munich because Al Nassr success in recruiting Sadio Mane will allow Al Nassr to compete more strongly next season. In the depth of the bayern munich squad there are several gaps that must be overcome by tuchel in this transfer window. Because bayern munich is not so strong when they face big teams from other leagues like when they were defeated by manchester city in the pre-season match. So tuchel will have to make a decision to make some more changes to their squad depth such as recruiting an attacker in this transfer window. |

PSG is always going to be at the top. Because there are simply no other teams which can actually compete against PSG. At least not in the Ligue 1. And so it honestly does not make sense to expect some other club to outperform PSG. I know that in the upcoming season, there is a chance because a lot of players are actually leaving PSG and the club is also not in a very stable state. but I still do not think that other clubs will be able to take the league title away from PSG. The truth is, PSG's precarious state holds little significance. The crux of the matter lies in the insufficiency of the other clubs. Whenever there is a situation where someone else can actually beat PSG, for some reason that club becomes inconsistent, and PSG takes advantage of that.
Ligue 1 is very different from other league competitions because in Ligue 1 only PSG is strong enough compared to other teams, so there is no competition that will make Ligue 1 more competitive in every season. Monaco were the strongest team in previous eras but they lost their strength in a few seasons. Apart from that, PSG without Mbappe seems like they are still quite strong if we look at the players they have recruited in this transfer window. Lens, who last season were quite strong in Ligue 1 but I doubt they will be able to compete in the race for the title next season. Moreover, PSG has succeeded in bringing in an experienced coach next season and I am sure that Luis Enrique will bring PSG to maintain their dominance as the strongest team in Ligue 1. |

That's the main reason but i remind you that if mbappe's price can still be negotiated. Liverpool is making a huge step compared with real madrid. I gonna wait till the final price of mbappe gonna be released. Will it make real madrid interesting to sign him as a permanent transfer? This is the most interesting to be waited. I meant if everything about mbappe is still remain uncertain at this moment. This guy is always making everything become even more complicated than before.
Buying mbappe with such price is actually adding financial issue to the real madrid. The club didn't have a lot of cash to buy him. The club shall sell something to get more funds in buying him from PSG.
Real madrid was not PSG which is owned by billionaire with unlimited money. That's why perez was not rushing in any decision about mbappe. The club prefers to wait till next year to get him with free agent.
Liverpool emerged as an option to loan Mbappe, not to buy him so it is likely that psg is still considering it if no offer arrives before the transfer market closes. In addition, Mbappe price has been set above 200 million euros for teams looking to sign him in this season's transfer window. Real Madrid didn't even move to make a bid for PSG to sign Mbappe in this transfer window as they could sign Mbappe for free next season. So with the drama that never ends, it is very likely that PSG will accept an offer from Liverpool to borrow Mbappe in this transfer window because Liverpool are willing to pay PSG to borrow Mbappe. I will see whether Liverpool's attempt to borrow Mbappe will be successful or not, because all decisions must of course be agreed upon with players and club owners. |

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.
Chelsea need time to prove their strength in the Premier League next season. This sort of thing had happened before to Manchester United when they were really not in a strong form in the Premier League and things changed when Manchester United appointed Erik Ten Hag to be their coach the previous season. Well, it seems that Chelsea is currently feeling this because they have pretty good quality players but they haven't found a coach who can awaken their strengths. Pochettino is expected to bring Chelsea back to competing in the top 4 next season. In this season Chelsea made many big changes, especially in this transfer window where Chelsea sold many players who performed poorly in the previous season and gave a lot of assumptions that Chelsea will start a new era with Pochettino next season. |

Juventus is one of the clubs that always brings big surprises in Serie-A and has always managed to finish in the top five of the standings in the previous several seasons, it's just that the points deduction caused Juventus to have problems and in the end they didn't qualify for the Champions League or Europa League next season. Their performance last season was also not too bad and I see that even though some of their players were injured Juventus still performed at their usual level, it shows that Juventus have a good mentality and they can always face any difficult conditions.
The arrival of several players in the transfer market can also affect Juventus' overall performance next season and I am optimistic that Juventus can compete in the top three next season if they make changes in several positions. Several players who left also had to be considered by the coach and how they had to be maximized with the arrival of new players.
Juventus is a team that is able to provide strong competition in every season in the top 4. For next season, it is hoped that Juventus will come back strong after failing last season so that we can enjoy more competitive competition next season. The management of Juventus for the time being has succeeded in recruiting 9 new players in this transfer window which can add strength to them next season. To compete in the top three doesn't seem like a difficult thing for juventus because in terms of the strength and quality of their players, i think juventus deserves to be included in the ranks of the teams that will win the scudetto. Allegri is not quite satisfied with the signing that has been carried out by the Juventus management, because he feels that there are still gaps that must be fixed immediately in this transfer window. I think Allegri is looking for a striker who has pure goalscoring skills to be able to bring back their aggressiveness up front. Previously vlahovic was not in his best form last season but he is expected to contribute more to score a lot of goals in the next season. |

The sanctions received by Juventus today were purely the result of their management's negligence, not Juve players. If you don't change the direction of Juve transfer policy, you will always be in this situation. Degradation, deducting points, fines are a series of sanctions that are continuously shown to their fans, really very disappointing.
Even though the Europa Conference is not an elite competition like the Champions League, if they can win it it certainly means a lot, because apart from making the fans happy the club will also receive a good income. The only target that makes sense now is to win the Scudetto next season from Napoli hands, if it doesn't work it will put them in an even worse position.
But it looks like after juventus received the two penalties that were handed out to them last season and also this week I think they are free from punishment next season. Even the ban on Juventus participating in the Europa Conference competition is not a surprise because they had previously sent a letter not to take part in the competition before the official decision was issued by UEFA. Indeed, from that point of view, Juventus must take a lesson not to repeat fraudulent acts in the coming seasons. Apart from that if we see that Juventus will not participate in any competition in the next season and for them to focus all their energy only on Serie A. |

United got Harry Maguire too for a high price. and West Ham's offer I think was clearly rejected at that price. although he won't get enough playing opportunities next season. but I still believe Harry Maguire can be Ten Hag's choice in United's defense even though he is not in the main squad. meaning Ten Hag can still use Harry Maguire as a substitute.
but maybe if West Ham or some other club made a better offer to United, it would definitely be another consideration for the club.
I don't think other Clubs will offer Maguire above £30m or only a few will offer above £20m. Maguire is indeed a big attraction for big teams in Serie A, but Manchester United will not get a more fantastic offer from the Serie A Team. Yes, if you look at West Ham offer, of course it is quite cheap, but I think the price is quite appropriate because Maguire is not at his best. So, if you don't want to experience big losses, it means that Manchester United will find it difficult to find buyers for Maguire at the price they want. Because other teams won't spend a lot of money on players whose quality wasn't very good last season. Maguire also can no longer stand staying with Manchester United because he gets ridicule from Manchester United fans. I think he will leave the EPL and develop his qualities outside of the EPL next season. |

I feel just the opposite.
There are more important things than just friendship when it comes to El Clasico because matches like this are always full of prestige.
I think we know how the tension and rivalry is when these two clubs play so I don't think there's anything to be relaxed about because egos and prestige are obviously bigger.
Even though this match will not mean anything and will not prove that they are the strongest in the next season, losing to rivals is something that is highly avoided in order to maintain the prestige that has long existed.
The match starts tomorrow and I think it will be an interesting first El clasico of the new season.
This El Clasico will be proof for both teams to welcome next season where the two coaches will try to compete against each other in today's game. I believe the tension of the game will spur on a match full of prestige in today's match. Most likely both squads will come down with the perfect squad to test their strength in today's game. In the previous match Barcelona suffered defeat against Arsenal and for Real madrid they were able to win the 2 matches they had played. Statistically, it is very likely that Real Madrid will be able to maintain their winning streak in trial matches in today match. I think Real madrid will win today's match by a thin score. |

For Maguire a change of the location, or the league to be more specific, would be the best way to move on for him. I think that his career is more or less over in the Premier League because it is the same people in the end who are watching him and who are giving him the bird if they see him making any mistakes. Minor mistakes will already be an issue because he has no room for error left, which is bad for a defender as the press will attack him as soon as he makes a small mistake.
Of course Maguire has to see the opportunities that exist because it is very difficult for him to develop his qualities in the Premier League so he needs an easier League for his career. Apart from that the interest from the top teams in Serie A in him opened up opportunities for Manchester United to release him in this summer's transfer window. For the value of the release maybe Manchester United can adjust well so that the Serie A teams can reach it because we know the Serie A team finances have not been very good in the last few seasons. The time for the transfer market is still long. I think some teams are still actively trying to sell players or buy players in this summer transfer window. Manchester United are still trying hard to convince Atalanta to agree to their offer to sign Hojlund in this transfer window. |
