Mason Greenwood is a target for multiple teams in this summer as it seems.    Manchester United has a price tag like 50 million pounds on him as far as I know. It is two times of his current market value but they just don't want to sell a talent like him for a very cheap price. I think it would be even better to keep him for next season. He can increase his value much more in time.

Some interested teams are said to be Juventus and Fenerbahçe. As Fenerbahçe has Mourinho as their new manager now maybe it might be an advantage for them. But I would understand Greenwood if he would like to play for Juventus in a bigger league at the same time.

Here I completely agreed with you about this all with things are clearly indicating he is the good player, and he can develop by time as well, but Manchester United needs to give him some respect with playing time as well because in last season he has done good job at the Getafe, and now he deserved better things here as well if they are not having any intention to give him chance then surely they need to sell him, but current price is too high with few clubs are not able to afford specially Barcelona and Getafe both are interested and having good mind about him but this all depends on Manchester United management what they want to do.

Mason Greenwood is a target for multiple teams in this summer as it seems.    Manchester United has a price tag like 50 million pounds on him as far as I know. It is two times of his current market value but they just don't want to sell a talent like him for a very cheap price. I think it would be even better to keep him for next season.

Some interested teams are said to be Juventus and Fenerbahçe. As Fenerbahçe has Mourinho as their new manager now maybe it might be an advantage for them. But I would understand Greenwood if he would like to play for Juventus in a bigger league at the same time.

Grenwood is a great talent who was born from the Manchester United academy, after making his debut with the Manchester United first team a few seasons ago, Greenwood was able to penetrate the Manchester United first squad at that time and even he was often the differentiator and hero of Manchester United to win their matches, but unfortunately Greenwood's glory did not last long at Manchester United and when he was in the prime of his career with Manchester United's rape and violence against women cases have turned his career around 360 degrees at the moment, even though the case has been completed and he was found not guilty, but many football fans still insult him including current Manchester United fans, I think this is what makes Manchester United no longer include Greenwood in their first squad next season even though he have impressed season with Getafe this season.

Greenwood is of course no longer included in Manchester United plans because it will get rejection from their fans, but Manchester United will also not sell Greenwood at a cheap price considering the talent and potential he has, so of course it makes Greenwood in a dilemma at the moment about his future, there are several teams that are now interested in bringing in Greenwood such as Fenerbache and Juventus,  In fact, it is reported that Juventus has reached a verbal agreement with Greenwood, but it seems that the high price set by Manchester United will be a barrier to Greenwood joining Juventus next season.

On the other hand, it has long been rumored that Casemiro will go to the Saudi league and maybe that could happen next summer. However, I don't agree that Maguire should be sold because he has tried very hard to maintain his place in the main squad and he has no more problems after experiencing a difficult time last season. However, if all these players are successfully sold, Manchester United will receive fresh funds of 228 million euros and that is enough to spend on several new players they are targeting.

Do you agree with this list of players to be sold? And in your opinion, which players should not be sold and are worth keeping with their performance?

Man United is building a stronger squad next season and they will sell several players who have high salaries for the club's financial stability. Casimero deserves to play in the Saudi Arabian League and I am sure he will get a suitable offer because he still has the potential to play and it is not as competitive as the English league. Maguire still deserves to be maintained and given a chance because he is very loyal to the club and that was proven in the previous season after failing to join another team.

Wan Bissaka, Maguire and Greenwood should be maintained because I see these three players can still develop. It depends on how the coach makes the three of them show their best performance. For the other players I agree if they want to be sold, it is not because of poor performance but to balance the finances to buy some other players that are needed.

I say no to Greenwood but yes to Maguire and Wan Bissaka to be retained because their contribution has been extraordinary this season when several players like Martinez have been sidelined for quite a long time due to injury. Maguire and Wan Bissaka fought hard to become Manchester United shield by using all their strength to protect the back line. Maguire and Wan Bissaka can be said to be important pillars for Man United, even though the results this season are not very satisfactory, at least they were able to perform optimally to maintain their position.
Greenwood is up for sale and Erik Ten Hag seems to be very careful about the development of Manchester United players who contribute and those who don't.

Currently there are several teams that are interested in Arda Guler and want to get him with a loan option, but from the beginning Ancelotti has made it clear that Arda Guler is still in his plans for next season, but I think what Ancelotti said will of course only hinder Arda Guler career and make him slower to develop, indeed, Arda Guler is one of the talented that Madrid has at the moment but without more opportunities to play is given of course his ability will only run in place, when Ancelotti said he want to give him the opportunity to play more next season, but at the moment I am confused about how he can do it when Madrid have a lot of good attackers in their squad.

Currently after Mbappe arrives, Madrid has also called Endrick to the first team after being bought last season from Palmeiras, Endrick who is also positioned as a central striker and can play in the left and right wing attacking positions will certainly make it even more difficult for Arda Guler to penetrate the main squad later.

It is true that the problem of Arda Guller breaking into the main squad is very difficult, but because this is Ancelotti decision and how he will arrange the rotation is still a question that we cannot know the answer to. Therefore let's see what method the coach wants to apply, with so many candidates who are strong enough to compete to break into the main squad, this means that this really demands Arda Guller to work harder. There's no harm in looking at the next season with the challenges that Ancelotti will give Arda. Whether we can do it or not, we can see the progress until next season.

Every team are welcome for signing Lukaku in winter transfer window opening if reach Chelsea bid offer 38 million euro,
Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca seems not including Lukaku as his game plan for next season have official announced for selling him to interested club want to sign Lukaku.
Not easy for selling Lukaku to Saudi Arabia club because he want keep stays with European teams in this season, has two years contract left I think Chelsea not opening an option for loaning him and try to sell  Lukaku in winter transfer window if any club serious for signing him or put him in the bench until his contract over.

The price is too expensive for a player whose quality has declined, I don't think European teams will be interested in signing Lukaku if Chelea is too expensive, for the Saudi Arabian team it is possible because the Saudi Arabian team has quite strong finances.
Now it is reported that Napoli are interested in recruiting Lukaku, but Napoli's offer price is still below what Chelsea wants.
I think that however Chelsea maintains Lukaku's price it will be detrimental to them because they don't want Lukaku's services anymore so whether they want to or not they have to sell him so that he doesn't become a burden on the team.

Chelsea will definitely sell Lukaku for less money. The €38 million demanded is certainly negotiable and I think it's pretty certain that he will leave the club, but I doubt that he will leave Europe, as there are now a lot of players who regret this move. Even if they get a lot of money for it, it's usually not worth giving up european-living-standards. Lukaku is still a very strong striker and he played well at Rom. He will definitely find a club that wants him.

Lukaku has a contract until 2026, so it will not end so quickly, although I think that Chelsea would like to sell him, but they paid a lot of money for him and they will not give him to Napoli simply because they are the only club that wants to buy him. And from what Lukaku says, I can also understand that he is not against playing in Saudi Arabia, and Chelsea would be better off selling him to someone who has money. Although if they do not do this before 2026, then Lukaku will become a free agent, this cannot be allowed.

Every team are welcome for signing Lukaku in winter transfer window opening if reach Chelsea bid offer 38 million euro,

It's simply that as long as your bid meet 38 millions then lukaku is yours. It's quite clear that about the price asked by chelsea to the other clubs that are willing to sign him as a new player.

Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca seems not including Lukaku as his game plan for next season have official announced for selling him to interested club want to sign Lukaku.

Does the announcement come from Maresca? I assumed it was coming from the management of the club caused by maresca has no power to decide which player to be sold and buy by the club. Chelsea's management has been working hard to give him to another team, but the bids are always significantly lower than what Chelsea wanted and it seems to me lukaku may be playing for chelsea next season.

This is why Chelsea wants to sell him as soon as possible. Lukaku's contract is always running, and it's getting closer to the end.

I think that however Chelsea maintains Lukaku's price it will be detrimental to them because they don't want Lukaku's services anymore so whether they want to or not they have to sell him so that he doesn't become a burden on the team.

Romelu Lukaku's future will be determined mainly by the decision of Chelsea's new coach Enzo Maresca. The coach would have to determine if the Belgian striker fits his plan for Chelsea next season. Maybe he might decide to bring him back to Stamford Bridge as a supporting striker, after all, Chelsea's current strikers Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku are struggling to make a great impact. But if Lukaku is not in Enzo Maresca's plans Chelsea will have no other option than to sell him cheaply or send him on another loan again.

Last season Lukaku maintained his position to remain in Europe and play competitive football. But it seems he has shown no interest in moving to the Saudi Professional League if the offer is good. Chelsea will be happy if he agrees to move to the Gulf League because they might be the only league that can pay much for the 31-year-old player. For now, Lukaku is having a good time in his international appearance scoring a brace against Luxemburg in their 3-0 win.

I don't actually think that the price at which being set by Chelsea football club for the permanent transfer of Romelu lukaku away from the club is too ambitious, because if you look at the player in question, he is a quality player no doubt, why I believe that Chelsea no longer want his services is because they want a younger squad, and Romelu lukaku doesn't fit into that calibre, if not I don't think anyone in the current Chelsea attacking set up is better than him, even though he is a bit older.

And as for the Saudi Arabian sides, they are in a better position to sign him, just that romelu lukaku has really been adamant that he is not leaving Europe, if not, he wouldn't have even gone to Roma for the first place, but as in this particular transfer window, I think that Napoli will definitely sign him, especially in a scenario where victor osimhen leaves the club, but if that did not happen, and they were unable to sign him, then I don't think he would have no choice than to go to Saudi Arabia, since no other European team are coming for his services.

Before the season was coming to a close there was this rumor of Xabi Alonso going to be the head coach of Liverpool because Klopp was leaving the Reds. The Bayer Leverkusen manager came to the Bundesliga and turned the table around by stealing the title from the unstoppable that got stopped this season, talking about Bayern Munich. Alonso made the Leverkusen side to be invincible (if I should call them that), no team in the Bundesliga beat them in any domestic competition till the season came to a close and every football love would want to give manager of he season to Xabi Alonso with his success. Here comes the big question, how do you see him as the manager of Liverpool that's if he was appointed and not Arne Slo, would Alonso repeat same thing he did at Leverkusen to Liverpool if he has accepted the job?

At this point, Alonso will not join Liverpool. He has ties to Real and Bayern, but Real has Ancelotti, and Bayern was ousted for loyalty. Staying at Leverkusen is smart for Alonso. He's building something major. Why choose the Premier League pressure cooker over a rising star? Give him a few seasons to win medals and build his reputation. He may then challenge England. Let's enjoy the Xabi show in the Bundesliga for now

 I read today that Emery was in the Real Madrid office and was negotiating to buy Lunin, the preliminary contract amount is estimated at 25 million. Apparently Martinez still intends to leave Aston Villa this summer, he announced his intentions earlier. Emery understands the importance of a reliable goalkeeper for the team, and after such a successful season Lunin cannot afford to remain on the bench, perhaps he is right.

[bering]

Seems Manchester United is realized that they probably will lost Casemiro because we all know Casemiro was rumoured to Saudi Pro League so that's why they starting to find new player for holding midfielder and it says Manchester United is really interested want to buy Joao Neves from Benfica and they feel Joao Neves is the right player as the replacement of Casemiro so that's why recently Manchester United was make a bid for this player and reported Manchester United have already to bid 60 millions for Joao Neves but unfortunately first bid by them was rejected by Benfica because for Joao Neves transfer Benfica only want 120 millions but apparently Manchester United will not give up because in the near future they will offering second bid with the higher price however besides Joao Neves reported Manchester United also thinking to buy Amadou Onana and Khephren Thuram as the alternative players if they failed to gets Joao Neves from Benfica

Yes he has decided to stay with Leverkusen next season, so Liverpool's hopes of having Xabi Alonso are closed this season. You are right, Xabi has emotional ties with Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, and I see those emotional ties being closer to Real Madrid, but as you said Real Madrid still have Carlo Ancelotti and he has also been successful with Real Madrid, so this season he is also closed to joining Real Madrid.

But despite all that, his decision to stay at Leverkusen I think is because he wants to prove himself and be able to bring Leverkusen to compete in the Champions League. After the incredible season he's had, the challenge is now upon him, and he'll be working hard to get Leverkusen back to their best. It's not a young task, because maintaining is harder than starting, so I think he'll be under twice as much pressure as before.

Emery understands the importance of a reliable goalkeeper for the team, and after such a successful season Lunin cannot afford to remain on the bench, perhaps he is right.

Lunin was a great goalkeeper when Courtois was injured Lunin became a substitute goalkeeper because he had done enough great performances during that time, but with him going to Aston Villa and Kepa being sent back to Chelsea because the loan was not extended will Real Madrid look for a second backup goalkeeper?
I hope he stays at Real Madrid but on the other hand when Courtois starts to recover then he will sit back on the bench, it's a choice for Lunin whether he wants to play full-time then has to go to Aston Villa or stay.

You forgot about ATM, which made an offer to trade Felix for Greenwood with more funds from united's side. Greenwood is doing well thus far in getafe. Despite the numerous criticisms he received from fans caused by his scandal but he can still keep his performance stable. Greenwood can continue to play professional football. That's wonderful, to be honest after people were massively blaming him.
Manchester United may have no plans to sell or swap him at this time but it can change anytime. I've heard that Juventus attempted to recruit him as a new player. Greenwood regards Juventus as a reliable place to continue his career in Serie A and this is the right place for him to play.

It appears that United is unwilling to transfer him, while Greenwood is interested in joining Juventus. Motta has added Greenwood to Juventus' priority list for the upcoming season.
Greenwood's contract with United with only one year left atm. It's better for United to sell him rather than keep him. Juventus is willing to offer chiesa and lling junior for Greenwood. This offers sounds good if juventus will able to add some money on it.

The coach will always try to manage his team with a strategy that can put pressure on his opponents, Mbappe arrival will add competition to Real Madrid front line, he will certainly lock up a place and will get regular playing time. Ancelotti could rotate his players because Real Madrid has a very busy playing schedule. Arda Guler can be relied on at CDR to provide rest time for the core players. Arda Guler needs time to break into the Real Madrid first team because the level of competition is very high, he must be able to improve his abilities to be guaranteed regular play like Vinicius is currently experiencing. Patience and hard work will give satisfactory results, he needs to learn from Vinicius' journey which took a very long time to get a place in the first team.

Lukaku's still got it. The guy's a goal-scoring machine. Okay, maybe he's not 25 anymore, but experience matters. Chelsea's not giving him away for peanuts, and thats smart business. Napoli wants him? Great. But they gotta pony up. This isnt some garage sale. Lukaku's a superstar. Now, if he's against Saudi Arabia, that limits his options. But a talent like that doesnt stay on the bench for long.

Something will happen. Maybe another team steps up. Maybe Chelsea realizes what they've got. The transfer window is crazy. Anything can happen. But one thing's for sure: Lukaku's too good to be sitting around.

It is possible that Chelsea will encourage Lukaku to move to the Saudi Pro League, so that Chelsea can get a big profit from his sale. Napoli are reluctant to sign Lukaku at a high price, even though Conte really wants him. Chelsea are also reportedly unwilling to open up loan options for Lukaku, after previously letting him go to Roma because there was no other option. Pochettino and Enzo Maresca both don't want Lukaku in their squad, Lukaku's second period at Stamford Bridge has fallen short of expectations.

On the other hand, Chelsea have actually cut Lukaku selling price, but considering that Lukaku is over 30 years old, and his sharpness has also decreased, this has resulted in a lack of interest in him. I think leaving for the Saudi Pro League is the right choice for Lukaku, it will be mutually beneficial for all parties, for Lukaku himself, Chelsea and the club that recruited him. The large salary is of course the main attraction, and the luxurious facilities provided will make Lukaku comfortable. But the decision to move to the Saudi Pro League depends on Lukaku, Chelsea clearly wants this transfer to materialize.

If I am Lukaku, I will move to Saudi and forget about playing in England or Italy since there is no good deal done for him next season. Lukaku needs a place to call him and not moving from one  club to another on loan. SPL will be beneficial for him with the huge pay and he will retire successful.

Due to Lukaku current age, I don't think that there is much for him to achieve again in big leagues but having a good club that respects your presence and pays well is a good retirement plan. However, it is not all players that will love to move down to SPL, so the choice is left for him to make.
