Leaving Wolves in August 2023 then joining Botafogo in the Brazilian league and now Diego Costa has moved again to another Brazilian club, namely Gremio. Diego Costa's journey as one of the great strikers several years ago was extraordinary and this former Atletico and Chelsea player is now getting older and he finally prefers to stay in the Brazilian league considering that his performance is also declining.

Diego Costa was brought to Gremio with the intention of replacing Luis Suarez who had previously left for Inter Miami and I think he is a suitable replacement for Luis Suarez because both of them have a lot of experience in Europe. Well, it's been a long time since I saw Diego Costa and finally he is in the right team to enjoy his old age.

Guirassy is really shining right now. and he will be in demand by many clubs. but Stuttgart has to defend it. if they do not get into serious financial problems, it is better not to take financial advantage at this time. it is better to focus on the club's achievements and achievements while maintaining a solid squad.
If Stuttgart sells Guirassy to any club, they could get a cash injection. but they might have difficulty getting a good talent like Guirassy. They have to defend it. because it's not just Liverpool and MU who will approach.

And I'm sure that in the end they will release Guirassy to a club that offers high prices and in modern football it is quite difficult to retain players who are interested in many groups, especially if the club cannot have any impact on the player, for example, such as a domestic title or Champions League title which is almost all players want it. In fact, there is a typical player who is quite easy to persuade to move with a large salary offer from another club.

I also don't see the vision that clubs that are not title contenders will try to keep their shining players and they will definitely be tempted by big offers from other clubs. This is a matter of business and I think almost many clubs will take this opportunity to make big profits from the players they have.

Al-Ittihad are expected to make another move for Mohamed Salah this summer. As you might remember they made an offer after the end of the previous summer transfer window. But their offer was turned down by Liverpool because of being out of a transfer window. But this summer they will have a chance to find a replacement for him if they let him go.

Klopp must be hoping to see him staying despite Klopp himself being about to leave by the end of the season. I wonder what Salah is thinking about his future.    His contract still lasts until 2025. I think they should keep Salah until the end of his contract even if he doesn't extend more.

I don't sure Mohamad Salah will leave Premier League competition next season and accept offer from Al Ittihad, he still on the top level performance and playing well with Liverpool for this season. Indeed Jurgen Klopp will leave Liverpool and not easily for Mohamad Salah leaving the highest level competition and acceptable for playing with Saudi Pro League. Currently the future of Mohamad Salah with Liverpool depend on new manager next season, I think if new manager are friendly and keep priority Mohamad Salah to get regular position seems he will stay with Liverpool until his contract over one year.

Salah's contract until 2025 its become crucial for Liverpool, if can't reach agreement extend contract get possibility he will be free agent and Liverpool loss opportunity for getting money by selling Mohamad Salah.

Rumors about the player leaving Liverpool are still going around. Mohamed Salah has only 18 months left on his contract with Liverpool. Hopefully, the Reds will negotiate new terms with him to prevent losing him for free in July 2025. however there's a possibility of a new offer from a Saudi club in June.

Sources say that Salah is happy at Liverpool. but a final decision will be made in the coming days, considering how things unfold.

I also agree that Salah is very happy at Liverpool, he has been there for a long time and has won trophies with the team, i don't see a reason why Salah would be unhappy at Liverpool. Having said that, if he leaves at the end of this season, it would not be because he is unhappy with the club, but because he feels his time in Liverpool and in England is over, if Salah leaves, there is one destination that looks very likely, and that is the Saudi league, they have been after Salah since last summer and they might get him this summer, we'd see how it pans out.

Happy but it's time he moves, No? Lol! With Jurgen Klopp leaving lost of names including Mo Salah will definitely leave the club since he's already set records, scored goals and also won the Champions League Competition and Premier League Competition included. In the history of Liverpool football club, they should also consider him a legendary player whenever he leaves.

With that figure set out on him by that Saudi Arabian Club, I ask my self if Liverpool won't be accepting that pronto!! That's a huge fee and they'll splash that on quality players if we'll spent.
Worries are just who takes over afterwards the departure of Jurgen Klopp. So they don't scrab all them good works his done in the past nine years for his club.

[X-ray]

Underrated in what way? He's currently playing for a club in the Bundesliga League competition,  they done have that media to sing praises of him lol. Those who've seen him play, has good knowledge of what he's  got.

For clubs likely to get him,  I'd say Arsenal off course,  easy ans cheap for them to afford. Not that I underrate them financial system but he'll blend in quickly.
Linked to Chelsea? I'd say no, it's no other name than Victor Osimhen. Number 1 priority for them to purchase.

Liverpool off course has Nunez, Serhou Guiassy ain't headed that way.  For Manchester United,  they're now linked with Ivan Toney. They're ready for a 70m euros bid though.

That will happen only if kroenke will approve it. Guirassy has not yet tested in the most competitive like EPL. He can also be a flop too. So, im never praising him caused by he was only playing in the bundesliga. The only good thing for him was helping stuttgart to carry the club . His release clause was very cheap but im not even thinking if it's gonna be the right thing to think he was fit to the arsenal. Arsenal needs to kick nketiah/gabriel out from the club next season to sign guirassy from bundesliga. I do like to see manchester united try to chase him. This will also help MU to fix the problem that has been occured in the striker position.

Chelsea was very dynamic in term of transfer. Osimhen never said anything related to the chelsea and how can you link him as a strong candidate for chelsea? Even osimhen is still confusing with the future of his career as a professional football players. I put a lot of respect to him but i think that will be far better to say he has not yet decided his future.
Osimhen's performance was just so amazing last season but that's only happening last season. It's very different compared to this time. Osimhen is still bottling it right now.

But it could be that when Klopp leaves the situation will be more different. It may seem that now M Salah looks comfortable at Liverpool under Jurgen Klopp, but we don't know after the change of coach whether he will get a place by the new coach or not. Maybe in terms of performance he will get a place, but we don't know if there are personal problems that arise later.
Mane for example, he is considered not getting anything more, and after that many Mane supporters require him to leave Liverpool. Well things like this could happen to M Salah later.
Now there are also many rumors that say he has been targeted by one of the clubs from the SPL, if the offer that comes to him is very good, then maybe he will take it.

[tusandii]

Yes, your opinion makes sense, but as I said before, it won't be easy to get Guirassy because he has just joined Stuttgart but has given a very good performance so it will be impossible for Stuttgart to let Guirassy go.

Guirassy is really shining right now. and he will be in demand by many clubs. but Stuttgart has to defend it. if they do not get into serious financial problems, it is better not to take financial advantage at this time. it is better to focus on the club's achievements and achievements while maintaining a solid squad.
If Stuttgart sells Guirassy to any club, they could get a cash injection. but they might have difficulty getting a good talent like Guirassy. They have to defend it. because it's not just Liverpool and MU who will approach.

Stuttgart's goal machine could be money machine for them in next transfer window, and they have to cash out this as well because he is currently at his top with impressive season and price is almost which can give them good relief in future because it is good time for them to have things into control and take bold decisions with they can bring few young players for their future which will make things more interesting currently he is under radar of few big clubs which can give good amount so most chances Stuttgart will be agreed about this, and also they will be no regret after completing this all.

Now it's going to be interesting would be they sold him, or they are going to keep because currently they are at third spot and now most chances they will be able to stay into top four with next year Champions League is also under their radar.

In my opinion, if Stuttgart sold Guirassy it would be both an advantage and a loss for the club.
If Stuttgart has plans to sell Guirassy, the price will definitely be very expensive because Guirassy performance is currently in very good condition, giving confidence to other big clubs, but it would be a loss if selling Guirassy to another club because Stuttgart striker's performance will weaken and to get a ticket to the Champions League it would be very difficult and the best option for me to keep Guirassy for the next few seasons.

Meanwhile, currently Sebastian Hoeness as Stuttgart coach has plans to retain Guirassy to help the club survive in getting a ticket to the Champions League and will try his luck in the Champions League with Stuttgart.
Sebastian Hoeness really believes that with Guirassy, Stuttgart can become a stronger club in next season because from now on Guirassy has shown that he deserves to have a good career with Stuttgart and looks like this rumor will just be an absurd story and Guirassy remains will choose to stay in Stuttgart.

Transfer window opened and new players makes the decision to move other clubs. Saudi Arabia keep coming for best European players inother to strengthen their league, it will definitely led to good connection between the Egypt international and the SPL side. Mohammed Salah is enjoying his time at Anfield, playing the key roles and handling the top targets of the team which happens to the ultimate target. Happiness is derived from players that are determined to play good football for there team. They don't relent from anticipating for good and higher levels in football.

[tbterryboy]

Ansu's mentality has already destroyed caused by he was always getting bad result when he playes in any team. I think that this must be noted by liverpool to get him as a new player. I don't even like this guy caused by ansu fati was the worst player in the barcelona. People are just overvaluing him but the fact that if his performance was not as good as before.
Liverpool needs to consider other option to give the team a chance to recruit a good player. I think that the next season will not become klopp's responsibility in recruiting the new player. I don't like this guy. Ansu fati has so many drama in his career.

Having him in the squad will be only destroy it. I disagree if he will be targeting by liverpool caused by this is really really bad. I would prefer for liverpool to get a better candidate to replace him. He will never fit to the liverpool and he is very very far from salah's level.
Liverpool needs to get a good winger who can play as good as salah and i would be mentioning rodrygo from real madrid as a better candidate rather than him. I hope this rumor will not come true or liverpool will be only degrading its performance caused by the club was recruiting the wrong talent.

Even Ansu Fati is just 21 years old but too many injuries and bad performance create too many problems for him which is surely having negative impact on his career and future as well with this all we can't give any real time argue about his future at Liverpool because it's also not sure with new coach surely will bring most his own favourite players and is he could be in this list it's not sure so just because of this having too much talk about him is current not good because we have to wait for the right time with still his fortune can change as well because too much time, but he needs to work on his fitness.

Jürgen Klopp is leaving at the end of this season with we can expect too many changes like few top players are already announces they will leave as well so most chances Liverpool will bring good number of players and things will be completely in new hands, let's wait and watch all about this.

I also agree that Salah is very happy at Liverpool, he has been there for a long time and has won trophies with the team, i don't see a reason why Salah would be unhappy at Liverpool. Having said that, if he leaves at the end of this season, it would not be because he is unhappy with the club, but because he feels his time in Liverpool and in England is over, if Salah leaves, there is one destination that looks very likely, and that is the Saudi league, they have been after Salah since last summer and they might get him this summer, we'd see how it pans out.

Happiness is derived from players that are determined to play good football for there team. They don't relent from anticipating for good and higher levels in football.

Salah contract will end in June 2025, rumors of his move to the Saudi Pro League have been circulating for some time. If you look at Salah age, he can still play in the Premier League for another two or three seasons, and his performance can still be said to be very good and stable. The offer that came from one of the Saudi Pro Clubs was no joke, and Salah would become the highest paid player at the club and break the transfer record. Apart from that, maybe this is the reason why Jurgen Klopp chose to resign, Salah departure was the cause of his decision, and winning other reasons, such as time for family.

The Saudi Pro Legue ambitions cannot be underestimated, with the money they currently have, they can build the League as they wish. Sooner or later the Saudi Pro Legue will become more competitive, and there will be many football fans waiting for their matches, automatically their fan base will also get bigger. Although their ambitions must be done in stages, and I see the pinnacle of their League development being hosting the world cup. Salah is a player they have been targeting since last summer, it is likely that next June the Saudi club will again tempt him to leave Anfield.

Serhou Guirassy is reportedly being targeted by several teams in the EPL and considering that his release clause is still at 17.5 million euros, I think the striker from Guinea is still underrated. This season at Stuttgart he has put in incredible performances for a striker and he has scored 17 goals in the Bundesliga so far. It is possible that the number of goals will continue to increase considering that Stuttgart is also still holding out for a place in the Champions League.

If we could guess which EPL teams would be interested in him? could it be Chelsea, Liverpool or Arsenal? because Manchester United is impossible because they already have Rasmus Hojlund. It will make you curious about where your career will go next and the EPL will be even busier if the arrival of a striker like him who is ready to compete on the top scorer's board next season.

Good news, guirassy deserves a better team rather than stay in the mediocre team like stuttgart. If he is willing to enhance his professional growth, it is necessary for him to relocate from Stuttgart and join a different club that provides better prospects. I meant that if guirassy will able to get a lot of experiences in other club.
Im thinking that if he shall also try to tell his club to leave from there as soon as possible. It will be also helping him to develop his performance with the new club. Im only wondering what club that is interesting to recruit him as a new striker.

I think that guirassy will be choosing a club that will give him a better chance to push his name going up soon. Im not seeing a chance owned by chelsea to recruit him as a new striker. guiirassy was a good striker, and he deserves to be recruited by a good striker.
I do support him to leave from bundesliga as soon as possible. He can take how endo was pushing his name to be even bigger after he joined in the liverpool. guirassy needs to join in the big club.

I prefer manchester united to recruit him as a new striker rather than chelsea which is performing so poorly.

Even though Man United already has Rasmus Hojlund, Man United still has an interest in Serhou Guirassy, it seems this is due to Man United's relatively poor goal productivity this season. Rasmus Hojlund is starting to look better but it still doesn't rule out the possibility that Man United will sign Serhou Guirassy because it could be a good option for Man United's goal productivity.

I think when Serhou Guirassy actually joined Man United, his arrival will provide further motivation for Rasmus Hojlund to play even better so that his position as a starter is not taken away. At least he can be a backup for Rasmus Hojlund (or vice versa) because as we know, Anthony Martial often struggles with injuries.

[Webetcoins]

Rapinha is not needed by Liverpool especially if the price is expensive.
In the same position as Rapinha there is already Luiz Diaz, Dieogo Jota, Moh Salah himself his natural position is also the same winger as Rapinha's position.

There is a solid link between Barcelona and Liverpool for Raphinha, but that offer will undoubtedly be denied because a crucial player is not on the Radar for players to be moved. Liverpool is a top team; they have the players needed to carry out successful projects for the upcoming season, but the coach will make spectacular signings each summer. Raphinha returning to English Club? I cannot envision that deal happening because he is also a key player for Barcelona this season, and he has been involved in the team's active phase of development.

Brazilian Raphinha is target of few English clubs for the next season with as Mohammad Salah is also leaving with klopp so we can expect good competition for him and his price is also high, so things could be interested he is good quality player which can create good impact here in Premier League and Liverpool and Tottenham both are currently in race for him now who is going to bring him it's going to be interesting.

Barcelona needs huge amount and also this player know what they prefer in coming season, we have to wait for this all because most chances I am expecting him here in Premier League with things are not good for Barcelona to keep him for more time with the price which can bring good impact for them.

But it could be that when Klopp leaves the situation will be more different. It may seem that now M Salah looks comfortable at Liverpool under Jurgen Klopp, but we don't know after the change of coach whether he will get a place by the new coach or not. Maybe in terms of performance he will get a place, but we don't know if there are personal problems that arise later.

As manager, Klopp has put the team together in such a way that it works well with his style. I fear that the team collective will no longer function in the same way after his departure. You could see that at his previous clubs Mainz and Dortmund. At Dortmund, he won the league twice and the cup and reached the Champions Leauge final. After his leave, Dortmund no longer have had similar success.

[Hvdv]

Ansu Fati cannot and will not replace Salah neither is he going to be the "perfect replacement" as you've said. First of all, Ansu Fati plays as a left winger and Salah as a right winger. Secondly, Ansu Fati has fallen off hard from the time when he was heavily talked about as the next Messi — that plan failed woefully and he ended up playing from the bench at Barcelona until they decided to loan him out.

I have watched Ansu Fati and Raphina play and alone, none of them come close to the level of performance or impact that Salah has in this Liverpool team. Maybe if they combine both of them, I'm still not sure their output matches of Salah (based on the stats). It's even insulting that you'd make such a comparison.

Ansu Fati is a very young player and should have a good opportunity to become the best player, but unfortunately, Ansu Fati seems to be underestimated by Barcelona, and it is clear that his position is not being looked at well because he only sits on the bench and cannot make a full contribution on the field. Conditions like this will attack them mentally, result in poor performance, and usually make players feel uncomfortable, ultimately making them want to leave the team they currently have.

He's not using his talent to its fullest, which is unfortunate. The bench can hurt a player's mental and professional growth. A promising player not receiving enough playing time is disheartening. Barcelona should reconsider giving Fati additional chances to establish himself. My observations demonstrate that he can shine when given the chance. Finding the perfect atmosphere for him is more important than retiring. Barcelona may underuse him, but his career isnt done. A loan or transfer could revive his career.

It doesn't even make sense to hear that. I meant that if you have a bad player in your squad and will you put him as starting line up? So, being benched was the best decision for him. Ansu has proven that if he was a useless player. There must be no club try to sign him as a new player.
he was a flopp in barcelona. How can a club try to hire him as a new player? i think that it has become a common thing when people known him as a useless players. He was rarely playing in the barcelona's main squad. To be honest, i don't like when his family was intervening his problem with barcelona.
It sounds like that he was not even responsible by himself. No doubt that if barcelona was not willing to keep him. the club is looking for a club that was willing to buy him but since ansu fati was a garbage player and there's none club interesting to recruit him as a new talent.

Don't think like that. He will definitely receive an offer from the Saudi Arabian league. Because in Saudi Arabia, not only the old players but also the young players want to watch it and make it a center of attraction. Ansu Fati might be a good option there, but I hope he doesn't end his career like Delle Ali.

At least he can be a backup for Rasmus Hojlund (or vice versa) because as we know, Anthony Martial often struggles with injuries.

next summer transfer market is likely to make many teams busy shopping for players, including Manchester United who are improving their squad to be better,  Serhou Guirassy is Manchester main target for recruiting and in fact Manchester has tried to borrow Serhou Guirassy in the transfer market this season, but Stuggart and Serhou Guirassy refused because Stuggart currently needs him right now, injuries and will end of Antony Martial contract require Manchester to look for another striker, especially so far apart from Hojlund none of Manchester United strikers are really good I think, Rashford lacks discipline, Antony Martial contract is almost ending and Anthony declining performance is the main reason why Manchester is targeting Serhou Guirassy at the moment,  I think if Hojlund can be partnered with Serhou Guirassy then it is possible that Manchester United attack line will be scary in next season.

[QueenVera]

Sehrou Guirassy is a striker who is currently being talked about in the Bundesliga because he has shown extraordinary performance so far this season. For some reason, he has become a productive striker, even though previously his performance was ordinary, but now he is competing with Harry Kane in the list of top scorers. currently he is in 2nd place behind Harry Kane but Harry Kane has created 24 goals in 20 appearances, maybe if Serhou Guraissy had not been injured this season maybe the goals he had scored would be the same as Harry Kane.

Yes, because the price is still quite cheap for a Premier League club, it is normal for the clubs to try to buy this player considering that the market price for Serhou Guraissy is also not too expensive, I think Manchester United is the one who is the loudest with this rumor because Manchester United experiencing a player crisis, and Rasmus Højlund is not very fast for a striker while Serhou Guraissy is in his best form this season and hopefully will continues to be better in the future.

Kane's addition to the German side have been fruitful. He's been a major in their positive game outcomes, even though they're striving to get past their competitor on the table. Kane has been impactful and his contract is still open till 2027 with Munich which gives him ample time to do more with the team. He's been consistent in his job as the striker and he's not stopping at just letting goal chances slip by him. He's quality and his ability speedily increases weekly.

 His time at Tottenham was worthwhile and him joining the German side have even more increased his worthiness to be a standing forward. This is a door to greater football awards opportunity. He's young and has got spare time at his disposal too. So far he's been doing explicitly well for Munich which should be appreciated, even if his time with Tottenham had also been great. It's good he switched to Germany as he's gathered additional experience too.

Miguel Gutierrez is currently a Girona player and there is a possibility that next summer he will be part of the Real Madrid squad. Miguel Gutierrez's performance was very good and Ancelotti expressed his praise for the Spanish left wing-back. It is reported that Real Madrid only needs to pay 8 million euros to bring Miguel Gutierrez back to Real Madrid and I think that is a low fee for this talented 22 year old player.

It seems that this transfer will also be very beneficial for Real Madrid when there are other alternatives when the wing-back is absent due to injury or due to card sanctions. On the other hand, we also know that every season will not always be predictable and this season Real Madrid is experiencing a crisis in its defense. Miguel Gutierrez is also waiting for confirmation news from Real Madrid and he certainly hopes that Real Madrid will buy him again from Girona.

Harry Kane has scored 23 goals in 19 games. And that is only in the Bundesliga. He has scored 27 goals in 26 games in all competitions this season if I recall correctly. So I think he has definitely been able to do what he was supposed to. I really think that the coach is probably not the best suited for Bayern Munich at this moment. My opinion is that they definitely should have been in the first position. I am not saying that what they have done so far is bad. But I think we can and did expect better performance.

Personally, I do not think there is any problem with Harry Kane. He is doing well for his team. If his team somehow fails to win the Bundesliga title, it is going to be pretty sad to see.

This is the reason smaller clubs with lower budgets cannot consistently survive at the top level no mater how good their scouting and recruiting process is.

We saw it with the Monaco and Ajax side that made it very far in the champions league at different times, but then saw their club picked apart just a season after, stifling any plans to sustain the performance for the next seasons.
