Its really wired that Napoli give up this player because he is definitely the best defender in the club and with 40$ i doubt that they can get a player like kalidou, i wonder what will be Napoli plans to cover this position

I agree it is a bit strange that Napoli doesn't defend this player because he is their main center-back. His role is surely crucial, it will be a big loss for Napoli. But we don't know what's really happening there, Koulibaly may ask to leave personally. After losing Koulibaly, I heard a rumor that Napoli is trying to sign Eric Bailly from Man United. I assume Napoli has a high chance to get this defender because he is no longer expected to be a part of Man United squad.

I don't think Eric Bailly is a suitable replacement for Koulibaly. Koulibaly is a very talented player. On the other hand, Bailly has managed to play only 20 matches in the Premier League in the last 3 seasons. Besides, his performance in the national team is not very good. And so Bailly is not suitable as Koulibaly's replacement. Also, I don't think he can adapt easily to Napoli.

He cut the salary by 50% in Juventus maybe he wants to play with maximum if so he have motivate to bring him back to the top player without the big money that he usually received. He also rejected Newcastle and another club where he can receive a salary big than before, but he still chooses Juventus. So with this situation, I believe he wants to make the rising back where he makes it before in Juventus together with Allegri. But, if he used the number 10, looks like his previous position is different for now, maybe he will a bit adaption to the new position.

In the press conference, Pogba did say that even though he was at Manchester United for a long time, he always thought of Juventus as his home. Now I know that a player is pretty sweet when he moves on to another team.

I also believe that performance will also be better if Pogba is confident. It did feel really different.

It did feel like he was really happy to be back at Juventus. And he also said that he had been planning this for almost a year now. That’s why I think that he took the pay cut. What I like about him is that he seems to be really positive about his move to Juventus. And I also believe that performance will also be better if the player is confident.

But Pogba must have to fix how don't get injured easily, we know all Pobga's problems are there. Change of coach and change the strategy aren't the problem, all have been done before in Juventus, So if he still has confidence, let's make him do physical training like Ronaldo, he doesn't do that in MU which makes him prone to injury. In Juventus, if he still gets injured, he will get the same situation as in MU, so he can't blame anyone.

I agree it would be a big mistake if Napoli bought Eric Bailly as a replacement for Koulibaly, apart from the quality of the two players are different,
Eric Bailly also lacks leadership, so I doubt Eric Bailly can replace Koulibaly at Napoli. Eric Bailly is an experienced player, he has strengthened
for Man United since 2016, but is rarely trusted to be starter at Man United. But Eric Bailly is not a bad player, but just a mediocre player, if Napoli
buys Eric Bailly as an additional defender it doesn't matter. But if to replace Koulibaly I highly doubt it, so it's better for Napoli to look for other
players who have the same quality as Koulibaly. Maybe Napoli should have competed with Juventus for Gabriel Magalhaes from Arsenal.
Because Gabriel is still 24 years old, it means that he is still can developing even better, and the quality of his game is quite good with Arsenal.
So it is perfect to replace Koulibaly.

By the way, Koulibaly hasn't been confirmed to leave Napoli right?
Chelsea, who are a koulibaly interested club have also had news with Nathan Ake, so I think they will not prioritize signing koulibaly. And talk about replacement, there are names like Min Jae Kim, and Leo Ostigard which made it possible for Spalletti to prepare them to fill the void if Kalidou Koulibaly leaves Napoli this season. Leo Ostigard though doesn't have many matchs , but this player has experience with various clubs, so I think it will be easier for him to adapt to Napoli.

Milan have made an offer of 4 million euros per season but the offer has not been confirmed whether Luiz Suarez is interested in Milan or other clubs.
It was also reported that the United States club was interested in Luiz Suarez but in reality it was impossible for anyone to say it didn't match with Suarez, maybe that was a reason for them.
I think Milan are still eyeing another striker because Ibrahimovic is still injured for a long time even though he is 35 years old I think with one season we can see how Suarez can contribute goals to Milan if it happens his move.

Milan with Paolo Maldini is very smart on transfer market. They filter the market with help from scouts to find list of good players but temporarily have troubles in their career. They knock doors of those players and convince them to join Milan from a loan or very cheap transfer. Some of them have relive of career in Milan. Leao, Theo and more. They contributed to Milan Scudetto last season.

Suarez is a very good striker and he can play well in Serie A. No issue with skills and age lf Suarez of he joins Serie A.

Maybe this will be a new chapter in the rumors of where de Ligt will go. I actually just found out that Bayern Munich are also interested in de Ligt.
Rumors about de Ligt have become a hot ball that until now there is no certainty which club really expects him and officially came to the table with a proposal. I myself thought a little about him staying here.

Basically, the high transaction value set by Juventus is what makes Matthijs de Ligt still at Juventus, if Juventus only set a low price then of course Matthijs de Ligt would have left sooner. Juventus still hopes for Matthijs de Ligt to stay for at least one more season, but if Bayern Munich are willing to pay the price Juventus wants then why not, of course we will see Matthijs de Ligt really leave. Because of the player's own wishes, basically Matthijs de Ligt really wanted to leave, but at the same time Juventus still really hoped for him to stay, so it's no wonder this transaction is still being discussed.

Juventus is too pushy even though the price offered by Bayern is actually very large.
But indeed this is quite reasonable considering that Juventus actually don't want to lose De Ligt for next season even though it's true if I see De Ligt is not developing too much in Juventus' play.
Now it's just a matter of waiting for the money who is in charge at this time to sign De Ligt because I still believe that Juventus will not be able to keep De Ligt who wants to leave.

the deal is done we just have to wait for the official announcement, Koulibaly is very close to Chelsea, I think it will happen.
Napoli let go of this important player because Koulibaly doesn't want to renew his contract and wants to go to another club, I think there is no reason for Napoli to keep him.
and Chelsea are indeed after a lot of defenders at the moment because they prioritize the best, and of course if they manage to get Koulibaly it is the best player among the rest.

Yes Chelsea do need defenders, and Koulibaly is one of the players who are on the radar that Chelsea are looking for. Chelsea themselves are closer now with Koulibaly and I think in the near future there will be an official announcement from them regarding this player. If there are no other obstacles this player will be in the near future to sign a contract with Chelsea.

According to one news portal, Matthijs de Ligt has accepted Bayern Munich's offer but as before, Juventus do want a high price for this player. A club as big as Bayern Munich will basically have no trouble fulfilling Juventus' wishes. Moreover, Bayern Munich will also get fresh funds after releasing Lewandowski. That way, Matthijs de Ligt's transfer transaction will only wait for time, just imagine that Barcelona, which is in financial difficulty, finally managed to recruit Lewandowski after long negotiations. So, in the case of Matthijs de Ligt, Bayern Munich is only trying to get a lower price to reduce spending, but in the end this transaction will certainly be completed as well.

Juve until now still have not confirmed the offer from Bayern is because the amount offered is equivalent to that offered by Chelsea to Juve for a transfer de ligt. but it all came back to the decision of de ligt because he also insisted on joining Bayern instead of Chelsea. actually, de ligt is a very good defender and is suitable for juve but it seems with high price offers from other clubs, Juve must be willing to let him go.

Really, how much value did Bayern Munich offer Juventus to bring Matthijs de Ligt?
Because I search several media I didn't see the value offered by Munich, apart from the Transfermarkt media which provided information about the market value but not the value offered by Bayern Munich which might be of interest to Juventus.
Talking about Lewandowski's future, Barcelona have already get his replacement, Raphinha for over $60 million, so I don't think they will prioritize Lewandowski again.

[RealMalatesta]

I think Napoli looking for business and profitable with Koulibaly transfer to Chelsea reach above 40 million euro, not bad price for Koulibaly still on the top level as great defwnder for Napoli and have been 31 year old, keep extended Koulibaly one seaaon later I think have drop values and Napoli can't sell Koulibaly above 40 milion euro. Although very sad because Napoli not easy looking for replacement position leaving by Koulibaly actually he has been important olayer for Napoli last several season. Koulibally will begin new challenge with Chelsea and looks will get regular defender poaition depending how keep consistent performance or not.

I agree that they have the money for it, but there is a new wave in football where teams are trying to make a profit. I have zero clue why it's like that, but the greatest ever in history example is Dortmund for example. They sold Sancho last year and made a great chunk of money, but they didn't spend it at all, they might have spent it somewhere else but they didn't bought players at those prices at least.

This year they sold Haaland that much and they made a ton of money again, and yet not buying any players again. They may end up selling that midfielder English kid to a lot of money too, forgot his name, but not buying anyone. Napoli may do something similar, gain a ton of money, but spend it in operational stuff or debt repayment or something like that, and not players.

Yes you are right, maybe the decision is now in the hands of de Ligt considering the amount offered by Chelsea and Bayern Munich is still the same, except that both clubs offer a higher price. But on the other hand I want to hear what Juventus have to say about this player, because until now I have not heard anything that I can draw conclusions from.

[Luzin]

Napoli may do something similar, gain a ton of money, but spend it in operational stuff or debt repayment or something like that, and not players.

Today business is the main thing. Napoli already has such an orientation, as long as the club is financially healty it doesn't matter. They are famous for producing quality players, they often buy several potential players at low prices. After that they sold it at a pretty high price. Indeed, I heard they just bought 3 new players, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Mathias Olivera, and Andre Zambo Anguissa. All three are less than 40 million euros.

That's no lie but who is to replace Koullibaly they just sold to Chelsea ?
And for Juventus I have not seen any replacement for de Ligt if he finally leaves.
If they don't replace him their will be problem else they have other options.
De ligt has accepted Bayern Munich already.

[Distraction]

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is likely to be signed by Milan again according to some news. I assume that it would be a one-year deal. Zlatan is still ambitious about playing professional football despite his age. He is still very strong also. He is injured for a long time though and he would most likely be able to play after the first half of the season passes. I wasn't expecting this deal so early because of his lasting injury actually. But this is only a rumour for now of course.

Try to use keyword with De Ligt to Bayern Munich but not find anything with new update except news last three days, I think looks not have chance with de Ligt move to Bayern Munich for next season, according still not any confirmed yet from Juventus and believe with de Ligt keep stay with Juventus for next season. Looking with central defender position, Juventus not have many option if try sell de Ligt to Bayern Munich, have loss Chiellini last season and not extended contract I think bad choose if ty selling de Ligt, Juventus failed to get Koulibaly sign and looks not trying to sell de Ligt before getting who will replace position leaving.

The price set by Juventus is indeed too high so it is quite difficult to see De Ligt moving in realization at this time.
But actually Juventus can still release De Ligt but the price they apply clearly exceeds the expectations of Bayern for now.
In the end it's like you said it all goes back to gray and the possibility of a transfer here won't happen.

But this is only a rumour for now of course.

Didn't they get an agreement to keep working together for one year? That's the news I heard some time ago, that they were back to work together but the contract was split in two, because of the injury he suffered. Reportedly the costs to be incurred by AC Milan will be different, the first and second half of the season. That's what I've heard so far.
