The name of Giroud is increasing in rankings of Juventus interest as 4th striker.

I think is the best you can have as the last attacker for very cheap and for only 6 months contract.

Indeed. His link-up play is great as well and this deal ^{[if it happens]} would surely benefit them in both ways.

I rarely follow Championship so I did look him up on YouTube and looks promising but I think he's a bit pricey in regards to what he brings to the table...
^{- Based on their current standing, it'll be extremely hard to make them lower their asking price.}

The candidates who could move to Norwich in return are said to be Joe Willock and Reiss Nelson. Both still have contracts running until 2023 and could make Norwich lower their asking price for the Argentinian, whom they are understood to value at around €44 million.

Ramos has denied the first offer from Real Madrid. He wants 15M per season where RMA authority can give 12M/season. Ramos also declared PSG is offering him a great salary and they are bringing Messi to the France league. 

[TedMosby]

I don't think Thomas Tuchel is that good at PSG, just because he sent PSG to the final last year.
IMO, PSG was just lucky with the drawing. Before the final, they won against RB Leipzig and Atalanta.
But yes, they kicked out my team Manchester United this year, but it's still so so for me
PSG is like a one man team show in ligue 1, it's difficult for a new manager to set a standard to make PSG stronger and better every year.
ligue 1 is not that competitive. but yeah, this year is different. not sure if they become weaker or other teams become stronger.

Tottenham have begun negotiating with Kane for extending his contract. Actually, he still has 3 more years left on his contract but Tottenham must be doing this for fending off the interest from big clubs. I wonder whether he will finish his career here. In my opinion, he could go to Real Madrid or PSG in the future.

somehow, I think Kane will be a United Player. just my feeling, but maybe not this season.
United is a good place for the England National Team strikers.

PSG could have won even last year, everyone looks at hindsight and say that Bayern was the much better team, however finals have this sort of magical situation where you could be any great team and you could still end up losing for just one game, look at the leagues, does PSG never lose? They lose to teams that are much worse, look at Bayern, do they never lose? They can even lose to teams bottom of the league, it is all luck in football at certain point and sometimes players are not on their days.

With Poch, I am sure PSG will get better, not only because he could be a better manager, but also because it would be fresh situation and everyone will get a reset. Think of it like your computer starting to run slow, you close it, wait a few minutes, reopen and suddenly it is better, you didn't change anything, but it is still better, think of this addition like that.

Against Bayern?  I don’t think so, no matter how you put it.  But you could make a case against any other club tho.  Bayern was just too good last season.  But yeah...  Chelsea did win against Bayern in 2012.  Lol.  I think they were 5 to 1 underdogs or something...

Anyway, where’s Tuchel going...?  I see Chelsea is struggling with Lampard.

United is a good place for the England National Team strikers.

There is absolutely no way Kane would go to United if you ask me. Obviously this is football and we have seen weirder things happened before so I wouldn't really be shocked, but Kane is still a very good piece of Spurs team and they have no intentions of selling him. There were so many teams that asked for Kane, but Spurs simply said no amount of money could replace Kane ever, so they are going to just keep him until he retires, if they were intending on selling him, they would have done that years ago and taken insane amount of money for it.

This leaves us with Kane not accepting next contract, but he could have done that before as well, not like he had this 15 year contract ending now, he had chance to leave before as well. So, I am guessing both the team and Kane are very happy together, I doubt it would change. And even if it changed, which I doubt it would, it would probably be for a much bigger team paying much more money.

According to ESPN, Manchester City are closely interested in signing Sergio Ramos as a free agent this summer. I know that he is 34 years old but he can still be quite beneficial for big clubs and it could be a nice transfer for Manchester City. It is also a nice opportunity to sign him without paying transfer fee to Real Madrid.

It's like Manchester city have no defenders.
they have already 6 center back with unless they get him to play as a striker as he proved himself to be a goalscorer because City now lacks a center forward.
Aguero hasn't been fit all season while gabriel jesus is not going to be relayed on to be the sole striker for the blues so they need to strengthen that position. Sure ramos will be a great addition but it's not a great move for city especially If he asks a lot for weekly wages especially if he is joining on as a free agent. The should renew KDB contract first as he rejected to renew and he is negotiating for a better contract

I agree with you. Manchester City don't really need defenders now. It will be great if they sign a qualified forward now or for the next season. Gabriel Jesus is having problems on scoring and like you said Aguero hasn't played decently for a long time. If they transfer a very good scorer, they can solve the problem on finishing.

[kawetsriyanto]

You are right. What for buying more defenders while it is unnecessary. Whereas they only have two Centre-Forwards and unfortunately Gabriel Jesus gets injured now. So, Man City will get difficulties if Sergio Agüero gets injured then, or cannot play with his best performance. I think Pep Guardiola better to focus on improving the number of Centre-Forwards first. There is no guarantee to get Messi, so make some options as the targets of new strikers.

Slaven Bilić has found a new job after his WBA contract termination, he's going to China and will be managing Beiijing Guoan.

I'm a Croat and really love the guy for what he's done with our national team, but he's a mediocre manager at best (on a club level) so I never really understood all the drama that happened after WBA sacked him.

His job before WBA was at Al-Ittihad, so I guess taking this job signals the end of his european managing ambitions.

[Trofo]

Not gonna argue Bilic expertise, he is solid manager but nothing special. For me the drama around his sacking is related to the fact that he managed to get promotion from one of the toughest league, that gets WBA 200 million pounds and they don't buy any new players and expect him to have great results in PL.

Than they hire new manager, he looses all the games except Liverpool one, with big handicaps and just says he can not work with limited team like this and that they need to buy new quality players to avoid relegation. Well no shit Sherlock, that is just the point, Bilic was doing the best possible thing with players he had.

Yes, usually going to China means going into football oblivion and after that it is not a common case for footballers to return to serious football.
With the WBA neither Guardiola nor Klopp could do more because it's truly the worst club in the league.
I think Bilic is a typical example of a coach who doesn't have great results but has charisma and is a favorite among fans and journalists.
I will never forget that tragic defeat at EURO 2008 with the Turks when he was the coach of Croatia.
Still, he was the first to give Modric and Rakitic a chance in the national team and he was the founder of the team that reached the 2018 World Cup final.

Mesut Özil goes to turkey!!!

According to the reliable Turkish news agency DHA, the former Germany international has agreed a three-and-a-half-year with Fener. Özil’s basic salary is said to amount to €5 million net per season – which would make him the Turkish Süper Lig’s top earner alongside Galatasaray striker Falcao. Arsenal will reportedly continue pay Özil’s wages for the rest of the season, while Fener will pay him a €2.5 million signing-on fee ahead of the 2021/22 season.

we will see if MÖ will find his old strength again at fenerbahce. i would wish it on him

[gadado]

the transfer of the century may well be Messi's. Very curious where it will go. Staying with Barcelona seems out of the question. PSG has specific interest, but probably every club in Europe has that.
They should have gotten him out for 200 million in the summer.

For €5 million net per season salary,  I think it's a fair deal for Mesut Ozil. It is obvious that Ozil doesn't have a place in the current Mikel Arteta Arsenal squad so it's best if he leaves and so he can get more playing time. Hopefully, he would impress in turkey  because Fenerbahce is breaking the bank in order to get him down to turkey. I heard some of the club investors including the president decided to contribute to pay his salary.

We have been down this road already and it was clear that Barcelona has no plans to release their star man. The club has chosen to put their interests above the player's own happiness.

The drama was just because he was at the job for too short and he got sacked after getting a point against City! Otherwise,,, no complaints and the fans will get over it. The problem always I think is sometimes clubs and managers have different ideas from what they thought they all agreed upon and it only becomes clear when the training and games start.

This is good news for Mesut Ozil fans, because it has been a long time since seeing Mesut Ozil play. Finally Mesut Ozil's future is clear, Fenerbahce
in my opinion is a suitable place for Ozil to bounce back. Moreover, Ozil's wife, Amine Gulse, is indeed a Turkish citizen and lives in Istanbul.
I am sure Mesut Ozil will be happy to play for Fenerbahce, because Ozil's future at Arsenal has ended since Arteta did not register Mesut Ozil
in any competition.

They should sell some of their center backs to Liverpool to be honest, Fabinho and Alexander-Arnold can use the assistance, but fat chance of that happening when they're also contesting the Premier League title 

If somehow they can't get Ramos on free transfer maybe they could swap him with Aguero. Feels like a win-win situation if they can get Real Madrid to want him.
