Could it be that I heard wrong? But it seems like this is an inevitable rumor and Barcelona reportedly wants to bring in its former coach from the 2014/2015 season, namely Luis Enrique. Of course we still remember that Luis Enrique led Barcelona to win the treble that season and this will be a much awaited reunion for the Barcelona squad if that happens. However, it certainly won't be easy to convince the Spanish coach because he is still focused with PSG on developing the existing squad further.

So I don't think Barcelona will be able to convince him to come back quickly, but if Barcelona still hopes he will come then it might take a long time. We know that his responsibility is still huge after being contracted by PSG last season, but his contract will also end in 2025. So, if his contract with PSG has ended, it is possible that Barcelona could offer a contract to bring back Luis Enrique, but that is if PSG does not extend his contract at the end of the season.

Is Luis Enrique the right option to replace Xavi? and if yes, what do you think?

This will be difficult for Luis Enrique because Barcelona is now very different, far worse than when he was still Barcelona coach, so if Luis Enrique returns it will be a threat to his coaching career.

Luis Enrique is currently the PSG coach and he hasn't proven anything with his new team so personally I really doubt that Luis Enrique can lift the performance of the Barcelona team which is currently slumping in a short period of time.

I think this is just a rumor, if Luis Enrique is not successful with PSG this season then he will be encouraged to make the team even better and fulfill management's targets if he is still trusted.
And if Luis Enrique is successful at PSG this season it is also unlikely that PSG management will let him go.

The public perspective can really be a scary one because in reality it could kill a person's career. Though the legal case is over but it will still raise moral problems afterwards and it seems that this is what the public and Man United boards cannot accept. Mason Greenwood has indeed made a stupid mistake but I thought, if the legal matter was over, he should have been given a second chance because regardless of the mistakes he has made, he is still a player who has good potential and it is very likely that he can make a contribution to Man United if he given that trust.

The case is over but still it will cause a bad story in society, especially as a footballer of course he has an example of pride that he must maintain as a person who does have many fans and also represents a team that is indeed anti-violence against women, but I think Manchester United fans should be open to accepting him back,  Apart from the fact that the case is not proven, of course because after all Greenwood is one of the players who was born from their academy and also has a great opportunity to continue to give his best for the progress of Manchester United in the future.

At the moment Greenwood may still get rejection from Manchester United fans for his old case, but I think it would be a regret for Manchester if later Greenwood actually moved to another club, when the beginning of the emergence in the Manchester squad at that time, Greenwood was able to show a pretty good performance by scoring a lot of goals and also assists so I think Greenwood just needs the trust of Manchester United to be able to show his capacity again as a One of the best young talents possessed by Manchester United.

It is difficult indeed to restore an image that has been destroyed especially when the case cannot be said to be ordinary because dealing with harassment and assault is considered worse which makes the situation for Greenwood actually more difficult because it is considered low and indeed things like that will inevitably make Greenwood considered as someone bad even though the case is now over.

Regardless of whether he is worthy or not in terms of performance in the end the case that happened to him some time ago will still be a reflection for a Greenwood and for Manchester United actually it is also a complicated situation because this is the same as gambling especially we certainly know that apart from Greenwood there is also the name Antony which is more or less the same case as Greenwood at this time.
Indeed, for performance on the field it may not be seen but in terms of public stigma it will still have an impact.

Today we learned that Bremer, the Brazilian defender of Juventus, has a release clause included in his contract which is updated from year to year if his salary is not increased by 500k per year.
As of now it would be active for 2025 and the amount would be equal to 60-70 million.

It would certainly be feasible for many English clubs given the performances of the player in question.

And if Luis Enrique is successful at PSG this season it is also unlikely that PSG management will let him go.

When I read the report that Barcelona is currently trying to convince Luis Enrique to take over the managerial position at the club after the end of the current season when the club's current manager Xavi Hernandez will leave the club, I didn't take it serious because to me, I feel Luis Enrique will never want to leave his current club Paris Saint Germaine and go to manage a club like Barcelona that's currently in deep financial crises. At his current club, Luis Enrique is provided with some of the best quality players in Europe which will make his work easier so leaving Paris Saint Germaine after just one season at the club I don't think will be possible.
Barcelona management should search for a manager that's currently not working for a big club or a top manager that's not without a club at the moment and not a manager that's managing the current biggest club in france.m because I don't think they're ever gonna succeed with that.

[red4slash]

Yamal is a great player there is no doubt about that and if you can convince him and keep him for 15+ seasons then you can, there is technically nothing wrong with that. This is the thing I do not understand about teams keeping their young talents.

But, we are talking about someone you can charge maybe as high as 100 million euro for, and considering how much debt Barcelona has, that's not an amount of money they can ignore, I think they should seriously consider selling him. Not saying that they can, maybe they won't find anyone willing to pay that much, in that case they do not have to sell and they could just consider keeping him, but they should keep their ears open. If anyone offers that high, they should be able to sell.

Well he at least has very good progress in the future because after all by looking at the performance at the club even in the Yamal national team is really very good at the moment but for that price I think it is too forced because after all for a teenage player and priced at 100 million it is a little outrageous even though his current performance is very promising.
The price is not too appropriate because even from his current good performance he is still a child who must be galvanised so that his performance becomes better than today and I think that's a tough task even for Barcelona.

Hopefully the fate of this player is not like Ansu who was not very lucky because before Lamine Yamal we must have known how Ansu Fati performed on the Barcelona wing but because of the lack of good care for this player, over time and the injury problems faced made his performance slowly decline and I hope Lamine Yamal is not like this.

[topbitcoin]

His career already ends, even he can show a good performance after he back from the sanction, there's no big team will interested to sign him. Just take a look with Greenwood, he perform very well in Getafe, but no big team interested with him. I doubt if Manchester United will let him to play when his loan ends with Getafe, many Manchester United fans hate him, they already cancelled Greenwood.

This "next Neymar" will transform to the "next Ronaldinho".

So funny, Mason Greenwood actually has a few clubs interested in him because of his good performance at Getafe currently, since his return he have been doing well for himself and everyone was surprised how well he has been performing after going through so much especially at such young age. Most players would be so affected that their performance would have dropped drastically but Greenwood was strong to have good comeback. There has been interest from some strong clubs like Atletico Madrid and Barcelona which i think is a good thing for him but the price tag United placed on him is actually too much and could make these clubs lose interest.

But even so it looks like he will really be released by Madrid because indeed with conditions that are not too good in terms of stigma in England for this player, the EPL will not be a comfortable place for Greenwood regardless of how his current performance when on loan at Getafe.

Indeed, there are currently rumors that Atletico are interested in bringing this player but Manchester United has set a price will not sell this player when the clause is less than 40 million Pounds and this makes Atletico a little relaxed desire to bring Greenwood to the Metropolitano. For the rest I don't see a European club that is really serious about Greenwood.
Actually Greenwood's fans are still very much but come from the SPL and that could be the last option if indeed Greenwood wants comfort in terms of money and Manchester United also won't mind because sometimes SPL clubs don't really see that much considering they are currently increasing the popularity of the league they are developing in Asia.

I don't know what's going on with chelsea. The club is now interesting to recruit the third goal keeper which is so amazing. The main problem of chelsea was not on its goal keeper but the defenders. Chelsea is the stupidest club among all of big clubs in the england.

Chelsea are plotting a summer transfer bid for the 24-year-old, according to Globo Esporte. However, Inter, Benfica, Wolves and Nottingham Forest are all reported to be in the frame to sign the shot-stopper in the summer.

https://www.goal.com/en/lists/chelsea-no1-goalkeeper-brazil-athletico-paranaense-bento-transfer-radar/blt6bf5fd093e04a6b2#cs31520f6f9cc60f30

The quality of chelsea's scouting team have been declining so hard compared when abramovich was still there. This is not a serious problem considering the available goal keeper is still able to perform prettyu well. Chelsea needs to re audit its club caused by there have been too many non sense transfers are going on.
This club is not even knowing what it has been doing. The coach and management being so clueless with what happened in chelsea at this moment.

What do you mean by maintaining the old ones? Do you mean players that are already there or players that are old in terms of their age?

I think there can be a good reason to try to maintain the squad over the course of several seasons if possible. The top teams mostly had a certain core of players that played for the same club for a longer period of time. The list of examples is long. Real Madrid, Manchester City, Barcelona for a very long time, Bayern Munich. It is no coincidence that they tried to maintain their core players for a very long time while adding some salt to the soup over time with new players or some top stars if available. But yes at the moment Arsenal is on a good way, but before we praise them too much, I prefer to see how they finish this season.

What I mean is maintaining only the previous squad without signing new players, those teams you mentioned though retained their previous players but you can't tell me that they didn't make any signing within those years so that's actually what am talking about. Okay for example, Leicester city, after they won the premier and still maintain same players without adding much signing instead went ahead to sell some of their players what happened to them? Where they active again as compared to when they won the league? Obviously not!

Arsenal's fate is still swinging yet as their possibility of winning either the league title or the Champions league isn't certain yet but I can assure you that these boys are eager for a title this season that was why they flopped and at a time they picked form again so it wouldn't be a surprise if they take home a trophy this season.

No you are mostly right with what you just posted here. Leicester City is a great example, but there is one thing that I believe should be accepted as a matter of fact and is called a miracle because it is a miracle: when a team like Leicester City wins the Premier League (and this is a great example by the way), there is essentially no chance that this can be repeated. That's why these events are called miracles. They lead the table for 6 weeks, 12 weeks, then suddenly 18 weeks and still everybody thinks that they must crash soon and they still benefit from other teams underestimating their potential consistency. Then Leicester City kept the lead for over half a year and that was when the big names became slowly nervous. In the subsequent season, I don't know what Leicester City could have to realistically have a chance to defend the title. It was obvious they wouldn't be able to di it with the same team because that was a once in a lifetime thing. But at the same time they could have never signed three or four superstars because superstars wouldn't go there despite the fact that they won the Premier League.

I am curious to see what's going to happen to Leverkusen next season. This season it looks as if nobody can stop them and then the question would be legit to ask whether they are unstoppable for years to come. But no, Leverkusen will run into problems as well. Maybe not as hard as your example (Leicester City), but Leverkusen has momentum now and they are using it perfectly. That momentum will be gone by the beginning of next season. They will start from zero and no team in the Bundesliga will underestimate them.

today I saw something funny, the Arsenal player, Ethan Nwaneri, today he signed his first professional contract, he signed for Arsenal. Here is the full news:

Ethan Nwaneri has signed his first professional deal at Arsenal today!

Nwaneri, considered one of the best talents around as Arsenal wanted to keep him at the club at all costs.

Despite three proposals from top clubs including two from Premier League, Nwaneri only wanted to stay.

“I didn’t have to think about it! This is my family and it feels like home here. Everyone’s like a family together and they care about everyone. It feels so special to me here at Arsenal, it was easy”, Nwaneri has confirmed.

The funny part of this news is his face when he signed the contract, I don't know if he did it on purpose as a joke, but you get the impression that it looks like the guy was forced to sign the contract, he didn't. and the face of a person who is happy, mainly because he talked about the arsenal and his family, so he should show in the photo that he is happy with signing this contract. but it seems to me that he in the photo was unable to hide some dissatisfaction, probably his family must have forced him to sign for Arsenal, often new players with good talent are managed by their parents, and parents place their children in the teams they like and not on the team that the son likes. It's been like this for many years and I highly doubt this will ever change, mainly because talented players have a sense that if they disagree with their parents, they would be betraying their parents and that would be a horrible thing they would be doing.

Olivier Giroud has reached a verbal agreement to join LAFC on an 18-month contract, starting July 1st

It seems to me that he preferred to go to the USA because despite having a good salary he would be in a country with good democracy and freedom, different from Saudi Arabia. I had already said here that Saudi Arabia's project of signing good players will fail in the long term because of the great cultural difference, while in Europe and the USA they fight to have a much freer society than today, in Saudi Arabia they fight for uses a society based on religion, dictatorship and oppression. So I don't see how football in that country would evolve, Ronaldo will retire in a few years, but it would have been better if he had gone to play in the USA, but he preferred the big money that the Arabs offered. That's why I congratulate Giroud, he made a good choice in my opinion

[Dzigie]

I think the Real Madrid option for Xabi is too early. I think he needs to prove himself a little more. He can stay at Bayer Leverkusen for another year or consider the Liverpool option. I think Xabi can be successful in both options. If Xabi leaves the team at the end of the year, other big teams in Europe can easily make offers to the Leverkusen players who made history this year. They even transfer them. But if Xabi stays for 1 more year, I don't think the players will want to leave. They owe Xabi a debt and I think they need to pay these debts.

I agree with you, I think Xabi needs one more year with Bayer Leverkusen to get a more respectable position. However, according to media reports, Bayern Munich are interested in signing him. Bayern Munich will part ways with Thomas Tuchel at the end of the season. They need a technical director and I'm sure they will also want to weaken their opponents as they always do. If they insist on Xabi Alonso they can finish this transfer, there are very few who can say no to them.

[baeva]

He left Real because he stopped feeling confident because of management, so he's unlikely to come back, only if management are serious about it and can get him reassured. I don't know if that's possible now, but why should Anceloti leave? I think the management will do their best to keep him as head coach

There's always confidence for Carlo Ancelotti, he believes in his army and he knows, bringing to Santiago Bernabéu the UCL title and also in for the La Liga title, really a good run for the team this season. Carlo Ancelotti is going nowhere because he has more work to actually trigger for Real Madrid this season. We know how rough this season have been for them but they took the bull by the horn. Real Madrid are already leading on the table and will become more competitive when they have eyes on the title.

I wouldn't say it's been a very difficult season for them. The usual adequate struggles with some passion in the league that we see every year. The Champions League is another matter, it will be particularly interesting to watch now as it's not a stage where Real are used to getting knocked out of the tournament, but it's a very serious opponent

If they insist on Xabi Alonso they can finish this transfer, there are very few who can say no to them.

It is very clear, if Xabi Alonso leaves Leverkusen for Bayern Munich, then Leverkusen will appear unstable next season. That way, Bayern Munich can dominate the Bundesliga again and restart its glorious era, because it is very difficult for any team to surpass their performance. Having a quality manager like Xabi Alonso, and having equal squad depth in every line, it can be said that Bayern Munich has the opportunity to create an unbeaten record like Leverkusen this season.

If they insist on Xabi Alonso they can finish this transfer, there are very few who can say no to them.

In my opinion, Xabi Alonso on the right time acceptable the other team offer for next season after impressive performance with Bayern Leverkusen last two season and success break the record as manager reached most of unbeaten games.
No doubt with Alonso achieved since first season begin until few matches left he was success make Bayern Leverkusen becoming strong team by unbeaten until 38 matches and success dominance on Bundesliga behind 10 points left from Bayern Munich.

Interested if acceptable bid offer to be Liverpool's manager next season, I think not special if becoming Bayern Munich manager next season because he won Bundesliga tittle and need to be EPL team manager how to fell most difficult competition not easily winning every match games.

[lizarder]

Maybe if that's the case then the choice is for him to stay at Leverkusen for at least one more season, he can use that to prove that he can indeed handle a bigger club than Leverkusen. The reason is that currently I have also heard a lot from those who say that Xabi might just be lucky this season, therefore he must be able to prove himself by staying at Leverkusen and showing the same thing as this season again next season. However, I consider these words to be normal because Xabi has not yet fully proven that he is a consistent coach.

Real Madrid currently still feels at home with Ancelotti, it seems they want Ancelotti to continue the regeneration process first before they appoint another coach. The possibility that Zidane will return to Real Madrid or not is still a big question, because up to now he has not yet spoken about his coaching career after deciding to take a break some time ago.

I think it was a good decision and staying one more season at Leverkusen and being able to bring Leverkusen to consecutive championships will make his name even better in the coaching arena. Person always attribute luck to Xabi Alonso's performance at Leverkusen, even though this happened inseparable from his hard work with the entire team and players. That's why he needs to prove it next season so that people can see that he does have the ability to organize strategy.

If Ancelotti still intends to stay for the next season then I am sure Real Madrid will not look for a replacement. Zidane's name is very familiar there and he has brought several prestigious titles to Real Madrid, but as you said, maybe not for next season because Ancelotti has not yet decided to leave Real Madrid.

[Raflesia]

I wouldn't say it's been a very difficult season for them. The usual adequate struggles with some passion in the league that we see every year. The Champions League is another matter, it will be particularly interesting to watch now as it's not a stage where Real are used to getting knocked out of the tournament, but it's a very serious opponent

Ancelotti is ready with all the consequences of the transfer method which is actually not very good if it says the condition of the players he has but he is still confident in that so now for Ancelotti only has to prove that what he has done is the right thing.

Facing several major competitions such as the Champions League, especially in 3 consecutive seasons always facing Manchester City, this indirectly makes the situation more complicated but the initial decisions that have been made cannot be withdrawn so now he just has to focus on the squad they have.

But for next season there are some things that will certainly be changed including bringing in some players because by looking at the age of players like Modric it is possible that this is the last season even though he is still very useful but his age is too old to be in Madrid with very heavy competition.

Chelsea's performance has been poor since the change of ownership to a new owner, and this trend has continued year after year. The new management has invested heavily in transfer widows, but they have yet to produce impressive results. Could this be the result of their poor scouting? I'm not sure, but it could be related if you think about it deeply. Another season is coming to an end, and Chelsea does not appear to be a team that will be able to compete in any European competitions the following season; their performance continues to decline, with the hope that a long-term solution will be found soon.

Currently the new contract signed by Ancelotti until the 2026 season is a form of Madrid's trust in Ancelotti, and of course they are more rational in seeing the ability to coach a club at this time, indeed Alonso is able to bring Leverkusen unbeaten this season in the Bundesliga, but of course this does not guarantee he is able to do the same when later coaching Madrid,  In addition, experience in coaching is of course the main factor needed by Madrid now compared to risking the future of the club to Alonso who is currently on the hype.

Yep. you are right...
Alonso is a good coach but not for Madrid.
Don Carlo is the most appropriate coach for Madrid.

FYI. Kroos signing a new contract until 2025
Camavinga was not seriously injured, he only suffered a mild sprain in his left ankle.
He should have no problem playing against Athletic Club at the Bernabéu this weekend.

Bayern Munich are coming to recruit the only promising manager in Bundesliga this season, the Bavarians will do everything within their reach to ensure they're all in for the top target. Leverkusen will continue to fight to get tight grab on Xabi Alonso because he's the frontrunner for the club, the formidable pillar behind the sudden improvements of Leverkusen this season, it's not always easy to keep striving for good results. Xabi Alonso will never stop believing how far he has gone this season, accomplishing and breaking records this season, they've been doing the ultimate moves.

Today we learned that Bremer, the Brazilian defender of Juventus, has a release clause included in his contract which is updated from year to year if his salary is not increased by 500k per year.
As of now it would be active for 2025 and the amount would be equal to 60-70 million.

It would certainly be feasible for many English clubs given the performances of the player in question.

Manchester United are strongly behind the chase of the Brazilian and I consider it a good one for Manchester United, they need experience as much as they need a youngin who can develop with the rest of the club and the players. Personally, I consider it a fair rate for both club nd whoever has interest signing up the defender from Juventus.

Also leaving could be Chjesa and Dusan Vlahovic. But not so sure about the moves of Dusan Vlahovic who picked up a good form you see for Juventus.
Oliver Giroud has also been another name leaving Seria A. They have no further plans of giving him a new contract.
