I think that the most suitable team for Messi is Manchester City. I would like to see him there and I hope Manchester City make a move for the transfer. The playing style of Man. City is quite similar to Barcelona's. I am not sure that PSG would be a good move for Messi.

PSG is the only team that can be said to have a strong financial position apart from Manchester City, but on the one hand Messi still wants to play in a competitive league like the Italian League or possibly the English League. However, currently Messi's strongest prediction will reunite with former Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola who is the coach of Manchester City, but it is still a question of whether Barcelona will sell Messi during the January transfer window or Messi will become a free transfer player at the end of the season.

They will probably wait till the end of the season. Remember the reason Messi wasn't able to leave Barcelona was because of the buyout clause which is in the region of £630m/$825m

There is a specific period of time he is free to leave but by the time the previous extended season had ended, that period had expired but I believe he can easily go to a club of his choice minus them spending a lot on him once that time comes again.

I agree with the possibility that PSG and Manchester City will wait until the end of the season to sign Messi, even though the two teams are rich,
but the current pandemic situation must be wiser in buying players. Messi's age is not young anymore, so it is impossible to spend large amounts
of money to be able to bring Messi. If they can get Messi on a free transfer why not do it.

I wont surprised as italian teams often doing this method.
Loan a player with buy option , they are tend to see a couple years impact before permanently trasnfered.

Haha, you are right, especially for Milan, if we are remember in Berlusconi+Galliani era, mostly of Milan transfer from loan+option buy+installment 😂

But for Brahim this is out of their plan, the first deal just for loan no buy option. Actually, this deal is not good for Milan. Because, if we are talking about Need+Urgent in business, Madrid will increase the price of Brahim, I don't think will be a players like Adil Rami anymore, he agree to get lower salary and use some € to help Milan for his transfer from Valencia to Milan.

Transfer rumours:

West Ham are among a number of clubs tracking the progress of English winger Marcus Edwards, who plays for Portuguese side Vitoria Guimaraes. Where he will go finally?
Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane has contacted Red Bull Salzburg's Hungary midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai in the hope of persuading the 20-year-old to sign for the Spanish club. Is this about real reinforcements for Real?
Paris St-Germain sporting director Leonardo says the club is making progress as they look to tie France striker Kylian Mbappe, down to a new deal. Does that mean Mbappe stays in Paris after all?
Former Liverpool and Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli is set to sign for Serie B club AC Monza on a deal until the end of the season. The 30-year-old Italian has been without a club since leaving Brescia after their relegation last term. Such a football talent and such a difficult character, which made a much bigger football career impossible.

Mario Balatolli returns to the club after not having his contract extended at the Brescia club, of course very good news considering Balotteli has been unemployed for a long time and AC Monza, the Serie B club, which is reinforced by former AC Milan players including Boateng, is not too bad for Balotelli to play in Serie B while returning to his sharpness where he became one of Italy's great strikers at the 2012 European Cup.

[acquafredda]

Mario Balotelli might have received a call from Mr. Silvio Berlusconi. Mario has his last chance to have a say in his football career. Berlusconi knows him very well and actually he understands how to treat these problematic players. I hope Mario will go there and play for the Bagai because it can't be possible that a champion like him finishes his career in despair.

Yeah there is a bit of problem going on around. Not sure what is going on actually. There are lot of rumours flying of some fight between players and now this. Maybe this is what is happening. Arteta is a very good and strict manager. We already saw what happened with Guendouzi so have confidence in Arteta that he will get this settled. They started so well this season with 3-4 wins but they fall apart after that. I think this will get resolved but I hope its not too late.

it would be very, very sad that such a gifted and individually strong player would end up like this.
i can still remember the semi-final game at the european championship 2012 in poland, when he single-handedly defeated germany with his two goals and was celebrated by all of italy.

[masulum]

it would be very, very sad that such a gifted and individually strong player would end up like this.

Yes, it's true, but having new clubs even on the second division is not too bad, at least they are still continued their career. AFAIK, another former AC Milan player that doesn't have a clubs is Pato, last time I read a news if he wants to back to Italy, but till today no clubs give an offer to him.

[kawetsriyanto]

Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane has contacted Red Bull Salzburg's Hungary midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai in the hope of persuading the 20-year-old to sign for the Spanish club. Is this about real reinforcements for Real?

I smell it only wastes money and no effect on the team. I don't know why Zidane's transfer policy isn't as good as expected. It is no doubt if he is very good at managing the club and motivate players to have a winning mentality. But it is always sad to see his decision in buying players. We know that Real Madrid needs a new experienced striker and a new strong defender, they actually have no problem with midfielders. So, buying Dominik Szoboszlai won't affect any thing to the squad. What for???

I think good position player looking by Zidane after not good brilliant performance from Modric because have old year, maybe Zidane wanna get young player for midfielder and give many chance for new player to get evaluation with old player in Madrid, better Zidane have seriously to get Mpabbe because Benzema era have end and he has looking new forward and Mpabbe become good player to replace Benzema position in Madrid.

[ingiltere]

Hulk is now free agent. After 4.5 years in Shanghai SIPG he announced he's leaving the club.
I wonder which team he will go after this China experience. He's 34 years old, he can still play in major leagues. His wage was a problem but if says ok to lower wages considering also his age, this might be his last contract. I think big teams will be interested in him. He's a quality striker who can also play in right wing.

So far, Real Madrid haven't had any new players and what I know about the news is that Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane plans not to buy any new players for the rest of the season.
and are still satisfied with the composition of the squad so that any shortcomings of players can still be overcome, in fact Real Madrid is planning to release several players.

omg, IT'S HAPPENING!! let's gooo

Frabrizio Romano's tweet in case you don't want to give the infamous Dailymail more clicks and views lol https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1335970068002430979

Well, speculation time: where is he going to go next? odds in the bookies went live. Skybet have Real Madrid @5 odds, Juve @9 odds and then PSG at 11.00. We'll get better odds as we get closer to the transfer window

I think that his reputation is very bad, his character is very difficult and it's questionable how much more he can give as a footballer.
I think it's almost impossible for him to play in a serious club or league again.

Serie B?
It's a big step backwards for a player who was once the best player of the Italian national team.
Still, the good thing is that his career isn’t over after all.

[DIA7]

Agent Mino Raiola says that's all over for Pogba In United.
The french Midfielder had his contract extended by one year so his contract with United will end in summer 2022 while Raiola is looking to ship his player as soon as possible that means in this January transfer window.
Only Juventus and Real Madrid have shown interest for the french midfielder in the past so it will be interesting to see who will get his services I think PSG will try to grab him for the right price.
