Edouard Mendy was a player who was quite successful for Chelsea last season, in his first season with the Blues he managed to present the prestigious UEFA champion league title. His form was impressive in goal and made some great saves and I think his renewal is very reasonable even though he still has until 2025. Edouard Mendy signed from Ligue 1 club Rennes and not many predicted he would be successful and could immediately adapt quickly at Chelsea, a very appropriate purchase recommendation from Petr Cech.

Indeed, Edouard Mendy is getting the recognition he deserves.
A little while ago I was reading his story, he could be just another player like so many who was born in a poor family, had many difficulties and became a great football player (goalkeeper).
But the particularity of Mendy is, first in being a goalkeeper... this story is often frequent among scorers. And second because his ascent was very fast.
I hope to keep seeing Mendy defend Chelsea's goal for years to come.

I'm also quite impressed with Edouard Mendy's performance while at Chelsea, we know a lot from his sad story to becoming the best goalkeeper from Chelsea and being made the main goalkeeper for his role in the English league, making Edouard Mendy more comfortable and performing optimally and Tuchel will really need a goalkeeper like him, and Edouard Mendy deserve a longer contract.
With several stories of the past turning dark, Edouard Mendy is now the top goalkeeper.

Chelsea's main goalkeeper Edouard Mendy is close to a contract renewal with his team now. He already has a long-term contract running until 2025. This shows how content Chelsea are about him. And I really admire his performance so far. With Kepa, Chelsea were really vulnerable to goal attempts. Because he was making simple mistakes. But it looks like signing Mendy was really the right thing for them. He assures his team very much.

It must be like that, Chelsea is unlikely to let his valuable assets go to waste.
Because Mendy's performances for the past few seasons have been quite impressive and it's not surprising that Chelsea fenced off this player for a long period of time.
This is something that is not desirable and is bad enough for Kepa I think because with Mendy's performance, which continues to receive positive responses, this will indirectly make Kepa stay on the bench for a very long time.

It is rumoured that Arsenal are interested in selling Alexandre Lacazette to Athletico Madrid by next summer,but this deal is not quite pleasing to me because Lacazette has always proven to be the best player that Arsenal has when it comes to attack.

But it seems the player is is fed up with life at Arsenal and seeks for life outside emirate stadium,and his preferred destination is Athletico.If this deal could come through,then Athletico will have a very good player to in their mist.

Lacazette will be out of contract this season and until now there is no sign if arsenal will make an offer to extend the contract  lacazette, I think arsenal are starting to consider releasing lacazette this season, apart from the performance that has been quite declining at this time with arsenal, of course with the age of 30 years and the amount of salary that lacazette is currently receiving may be a consideration for arsenal to let him go, if you look at lacazette performance in the last 2 seasons of course you know that it is better for arsenal to release him to another team and at least it can make arsenal have the money to find another better striker later.

Alexandre Lacazette is actually a good player, I like Lacazette's style of play who has a high fighting spirit. But unfortunately Lacazette is rarely given
the opportunity to become starter by Arteta, so Lacazette is difficult to develop at Arsenal. Now Lacazette is 30 years old, and also his contract is
about to expire. So it's a good decision to sell Lacazette this season, hopefully Arsenal can bring in better strikers to replace Lacazette. Arsenal do
need good strikers, Aubameyang's form has also declined this season, so Arsenal must bring in quality strikers. Meanwhile, rumors say Arsenal are
trying to bring in Raheem Sterling from Man City, if it can be realized soon good things for Arsenal.

Yeah very good point. Arsenal's experienced strikers have lost touch and now most of the goals are scored by the young guns like Saka or Smith Rowe or someone who is not much favourite to score goals for Arsenal. Arsenal right now needs a good young striker with some potential to score for them. Arsenal recently have been contacting agents of some young strikers like Vlahovic which would have been a great signing but unfortunately it seems like they don't want him to move to Arsenal. Still there are lot of young strikers and winters transfer window is just around the corner to start so we will see what move Arsenal plays.

Transfer rumours:

Manchester City are tracking Fiorentina's Serbia forward Dusan Vlahovic. The 21-year-old has scored 19 goals for club and country this season. There is no doubt that he is a great football talent, but will this young player withstand the pressure of great expectations in Manchester?
Barcelona have held talks with Manchester City about signing Spain forward Ferran Torres, 21, in January. Torres has scored nine goals and provided three assists in 28 Premier League games for City. He is a quality player, but does Barcelona have the finances to conclude this transfer?
Everton chairman Bill Kenwright has called an emergency board meeting, with the future of boss Rafael Benitez set to be discussed. Is Benitez getting fired and who will be the new coach?
Real Madrid are convinced they will sign Paris St-Germain's France forward Kylian Mbappe, 22, who is out of contract next summer.  Is it just a verbal promise or is there something more specific, some written agreement?
Barcelona's Netherlands midfielder Frenkie de Jong, 24, will not be leaving in January. De Jong has been linked with several clubs including Manchester City. Given Barcelona's financial situation, this is a bit of an unusual decision.

The management of Real Madrid is going to put up for sale several players at once, according to Marca. According to the source, the team will be left: Eden Hazard, Gareth Bale and Isco.

These athletes have long been suspicious of the bosses of the team, and the head coach of the "cream" Carlo Ancelotti does not rely on them at all.

Roughly the same situation with Marcelo, but the club will not insist on the Brazilian's departure in January. He can play out the season and leave the team as a free agent.

Manchester city now really needs a sharp striker after last transfer market they failed to find several target strikers to replace aguero, I think Dusan Vlahovic seems to be the right choice for manchester city especially it is reported that Dusan Vlahovic really wants to leave Fiorentina and look for new experience at another club right now, but it looks like Fiorentina will value Dusan Vlahovic at a high price of around 70-80 million euros.

But it seems the player is is fed up with life at Arsenal and seeks for life outside emirate stadium,and his preferred destination is Athletico.If this deal could come through,then Athletico will have a very good player to in their mist.

I heard some news about this, because if I'm not mistaken there were actually several teams who wanted Lacazette after he decided not to renew his contract with Arsenal and did not care about the two Italian giants (Milan and Inter) and the two La Liga giants (Barcelona and Atletico) really interested in this player.
On the other hand, according to a report from the Catalan outlet El Nacional, Lacazette already has clear plans for his future if he leaves Arsenal at the end of the season. and rumors that he has decided to move closer to the Wanda Metropolitano, the headquarters of Atletico Madrid, rather than joining Barcelona.
and it's not wrong because he has a fairly clear relationship with Diego Simeone and this is said to be the strongest reason why Lacazete is more interested in the Atlético Madrid shirt than Barcelona.

Arteta is not also helping matters by not starting Lacazette in matches until recent times, honestly I prefer him to Abumeyang in a striking role, of course he will seek alternative offers where he will be guaranted a regular playing time of course his choice of signing for Atletico Madrid should be his best choice, playing under Diego Simone an experience manager would enable him to prove his mettle being an aggressive player that always give opponent defence tough times, starting matches might enable him get a call to french national team

[Igebotz]

The management of Real Madrid is going to put up for sale several players at once, according to Marca. According to the source, the team will be left: Eden Hazard, Gareth Bale and Isco.

A must-do move for Eden Hazard to save his career before the next World Cup; there are reports that Chelsea are interested in a loan move for him in January; I'm not sure, but maybe he'll pick up his boot at the stadium and the club he loves so much, and we, the fans, are ready to welcome him with open arms and give him the time he needs to pick up. Isco's career is already on the decline, and it's unlikely that any serious team will pursue him, as is the case with Bale.

Roughly the same situation with Marcelo, but the club will not insist on the Brazilian's departure in January. He can play out the season and leave the team as a free agent.

It hurts to see one of the best LBs in the world fight injury for the past three years, and now he's completely out of shape and will likely wind up in Brazil.

Another month passed and Dybala has not renewed his contract with Juventus.
This story is going too long, since October 2020 is like "he will sign next month".


Month after month we are in the same position, at this point I think he will be a free agent in this summer.

This is one of most talked saga in Italian League, but one thing is sure Dybala is going to stay here in old lady club Juventus until 2026, and he is going to sign new contract in next few days it's taking time just because of few legal papers and layers already working on this because Juventus is having good faith in this talented player even he is not happy with the arrival of Algeri.

Plus, getting new goalkeeper is always a hard thing. Most goalkeepers who are great already found a place, you can't just pay to get Allison or Ederson, teams won't sell their great goalkeepers for that easily. This is why you need to keep yours if you trust him and pay them as much as you can afford to. Otherwise you are going to keep having revolver door type of situation where one comes in and be bad and then they leave.

Look at Leeds for example, god knows how many goalkeepers they had in the past 4 years or so, they had one during their first Bielsa year where they failed to go up, then they had another the year they went up, they had another last year, and they have a new one this year. Four goalkeepers in four years, that is really not amazing for a team since it breaks the whole chemistry of the defensive line. Chelsea doesn't need that right now, they are doing fine.

I'm not sure about it.

Since October 2020 until August2021 it was "He will sign next month"
Since September 2021 it is "He will sign next weeks".

We are now in December, and in 2 months he can sign for free to anyone.

News reaching me is that Chelsea want De lite at Juventus currently,but I didn't see this connection coming close, I just feel this will be a huge loss for the old ladies.
They will sure loss bonnucci and chiellini during this.
All they have got to do Imbe patient with him and him with them.

So far, Man City's lack of good strikers, therefore, since the previous season, Man City has been trying to find strikers. Even Man City have tried to
bring in Harry Kane and Cristiano Ronaldo, but ultimately failed. Now Man City's top target is to sign Vlahovic, but Fiorentina did charge a pretty high
price to get Vlahovic. Arsenal are also reportedly eyeing Vlahovic, but I don't think Arsenal can compete with Man City for Vlahovic. Actually
Fiorentina wanted to keep Vlahovic, but finally Fiorentina started to think realistically, it was very difficult to prevent Vlahovic from leaving.
So Fiorentina are ready to sign Gianluca Scamacca from Sassuolo as a replacement for Vlahovic.

Maybe, of course, but honestly, even though he's young and talented, people are starting to notice him less and less, not because he's fading, but because he doesn't play in a very loud club or he's not doing so well that there's nothing to say about him. If I were him, I'd go to another club as long as his age allows it.

Vlahovic would be a perfect fit for Manchester City. But i think Fiorentina is asking over 80mil and with him scoring for national team and now the best scorer in serie A i think that price will go over 100mil plus he is very young as well. Too bad Man City didnt sign Kane,they signed Grealish that for me isnt a good fit for the City team

Thiago Silva is good to go for another 2-3 seasons for Chelsea so they might not go after De ligt - Juventus needs to retain De ligt if they want to be able to salvage what's left of their team when more players take the exit route at the end of the season. But if Chelsea does manage to sign De ligt - either in the january transfer window, it would help bolster their defense as they try to compete for the title this season. It's a long shot but it might still happen. This is football.

Tottenham have 'tempted' Ousmane Dembele with a move to north London as his future at Barcelona remains in doubt.
The Frenchman's contract expires at the end of the 2021/22 season, though Barça are determined to tie him down to a new deal.

Club president Joan Laporta recently claimed that Dembele is better than compatriot and Real Madrid target Kylian Mbappe, but Barcelona are only willing to offer him a pay-as-you-play style contract because of his long history with injuries.
https://www.90min.com/posts/ousmane-dembele-tempted-by-tottenham-transfer

pay-as-you-play style contract? This is a bad deal already because for a player that knows that his not hit his top form, he might not get the incentives that come with such a contract...For all i know these guys are chasing him away with such a contract.
