Newcastle still is interested in Dominic Calvert-Lewin and theya re preparting an offer for him

Honestly, I am a bit confused with Newcastle management. They have Alexander Isak, why they want to sign Calvert-Lewin? If they want to sign him for a substituted striker, it is better to sign a younger player. Calvert-Lewin is older than Alexander Isak, he is 27 years old. If Newcastle management wants to have a future striker, they should sign a new talented young striker.

Napoli coach Conte, said that Osimhen will leave, for this reason journalist are thinking that they are going for Lukaku

I think Conte has a bad relationship with Osimhen. He looks happy if Osimhen leaves the club. TBH, I doubt if Lukaku can perform better than Osimhen, he is no longer in his prime age. If Conte relies on Lukaku for the main striker, I assume Napoli will be difficult to compete for the title. If Napoli gets hughe money by selling Osimhen, Napoli should sign a better striker. Rashford is rumored to leave Man United, why Conte doesn't want to negotiate with Man United?  

Barcelona is ready to sign Nico Williams paying the big release clause.

Where Barcelona can get enough money to pay the transfer fees of Nico Williams? His market value is around €60m, Athletic Bilbao may expect to get €70m - €80m as the transfer fees. It is not easy to get that amount of money when Barcelona is in financial crisis.

First of all, I see no wrong in Newcastle united wanting to strengthen their squad with the signing of David Calvert lewin, because where their is competition for places, their is much improvement from the players, and besides, if you look at most bigger teams in the league, they mostly have up to two quality players in the same position.

Then as for Antonio conte wanting victor osimhen to leave, no, he has no problem with victor osimhen, according to what he said a few weeks back, he said that when he came to the club, their was already an agreement between victor osimhen and the club that he is going to leave the club this summer, so he can't alter that agreement, because I think it's sign on paper, so the logical thing to do as a coach is to focus more on those that are staying with the club, and facilitate the movement of any one going out, so that their wouldn't be no distractions, so in my opinion, it's quite normal.

Then as for Barcelona trying to acquire the signature of Nico Williams, I don't actually think it's going to happen considering the financial crisis they are in now, unless they sell any of their big name player that can attract a huge amount of money, if not, I don't see this deal happening.

Como, which is one of the promoted team for Serie A, seems to be really serious about its player transfer activities this summer, it is reported that currently there are three players who will actually join and among them are Pepe Reina, Alberto Moreno and also Raphael Varane.
Raphael Varane himself is player who has lot of experience with big teams, he has played for Real Madrid, Manchester United and also the French national team, this also allows him to play well with Como.
As defender, Raphael Varane playing quality is actually quite good and during his glory days with Real Madrid he also showed that he was capable of breaking into the main squad, he also won several titles.
There is only little bit left before the agreement with Como can be officially concluded and in the future we can see Como filled with more great players.

Looking at Como in the transfer market this time, they are serious about starting their new season in the Italian Serie A, just yesterday they succeeded in bringing in two Villarreal free agents, Pepe Reina and also Alberto Moreno, and now they have almost finished bringing in Varane. he into their team Cesc who is the head coach is very ambitious about his future with Como, they really want to bring something new to show in Serie A next season.

Como have also been widely linked with targeting Icardi in their front line next season, they are really serious about forming a very effective team next season, it is clear how they have continued to work in the current transfer window, and I think they will make the right decision. surprise in Serie A next season with Fàbregas as their head coach.

Como is one of the teams that managed to get promoted to Serie A next season, they don't want to miss the opportunity to perform well so they are trying hard to create a solid team. They are quite serious in approaching experienced players, I quite understand why they prioritize players with more experience, because they have to be able to compete first before they prepare for their future in Serie A. Because it is quite risky if in their first season playing in Serie A, they immediately play with a lot of young players.

I hope that in their first season playing in Serie A they can show a good game, or in other words they can provide good competition to other teams in Serie A. As for the ranking, I won't say anything, but what is clear is that for the first season, just being in the middle of the table is enough for them. However, if they are able, competing at the top is clearly a better thing.

Matthijs de Ligt will not be able to join Man United before his current team can return to its best position. I mean, Munich is currently in a bad condition after being left Tuchel with several problems that have not been resolved and Kompany job is to solve all these problems.
Last season we could see where Munich problems lay and it occurred in a weak defense that needed improvement selling several players who were not very productive while De Light still had high productivity and always made a very good contribution in every match.
Even though Man United will be able to pay a large amount to recruit this player, there is one thing that I am very sure of, namely that Munich will keep De Light until his contract expires.

It is said that Matthijs de Ligt is not included in Kompany's plans and if I am not mistaken Kompany is not interested in his style of play. Most likely Bayern Munich will sell him for the transfer of the player they want. Matthijs de Ligt's contract still has until 2027 but that does not mean Man United cannot recruit him and Erik Ten Hak's closeness to the player can also be used to get him to move to Man United.

Bayern are in stance to sell De Ligt to the Manchester United. And Romano's tweet above has explained all.

In my opinion, i don't like this transfer decision by Kompany and Bayern Munich. I'd rather keep De Ligt and sell Upamecano. Then, use the money from selling Upamecano to recruit Jonathan Tah. The decision to sell De ligt, then replace him with Tah is a blunder by Bayern munich.
This is because it sounds like you're replacing De Ligt with a cheaper and worse player than him. Tah is playing in the same position as De Ligt.

That is a good call from you I think as Upamecano barely plays a game without mistakes. It baffles me that he is part of the French core team. He is not only making mistakes in defending all the time, but also wasting chances when he gets to shoot a header after a corner. Bad call by Bayern Munich I guess, but the times are over when defensive players were much cheaper than offensive players. I think they know the transfer market is quite complicated at the moment, but undoubtedly for that reason I would think twice before selling De Ligt. He had a severe injury at the beginning of the season, but afterwards I think maybe he didn't get along with Tuchel and Tuchel is known for making emotional and tough decisions. If he doesn't like a player, it is almost irrelevant how the players plays, he won't get many chances.

And they would be selling a 24 years old defender for a 28 years old defender who had an amazing season with Leverkusen, but I am still not sure whether he can play at the same level for Bayern.

If Jürgen Klopp should return to a club as a coach at some point (he will pause for at least a few years), I would like him to take over a traditional club where there is a big fan base that has been waiting for the title in the league for ages and there he should then lead the respective club to the title. I wouldn't want a strong club for
him like City/Madrid/Barca.

Yeah if he would like to have some challenge maybe he might make a choice like that. But I don't feel like he wants that anymore. Because he has already said he is very exhausted after managing Liverpool for nearly 9 years. If he does such thing you mentioned he would need to be ready to give many more years of his life for his job again. I think he won't have that big energy anymore. 

I would say maybe he would return to his old team which is Dortmund. But Nuri Şahin has just taken over after Terzic. Let's say Klopp returned in 1-2 years, I don't think the seat would be empty then.
