It seems that Paul Pogba wants to wait for the end of the season before deciding to leave or not. Because Manchester Utd fight for the title and they have a big chance to do it. Their biggest opponent on this is Manchester City now. If Manchester Utd manage to get the title, then we might see Pogba not leaving the team.

Transfer rumours:

West Ham midfielder Declan Rice, could be available for about £50m in the summer and that could see Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United battling it out for the England international's signature. Great demand for this young player, are we talking about a new football star?
Liverpool are to prioritise a new deal for Dutch centre-back Virgil van Dijk, before considering talks over a fresh contract for Egypt forward Mohamed Salah. There are rumors that Liverpool do not have enough money to pay both of their football stars and that they will have to opt for only one player and sell the other player.
Manchester United and France midfielder Paul Pogba will delay a decision over the 27-year-old's future at the club until the end of the season as the Old Trafford club challenge for the title. After Ozil, this is probably the greatest saga of English and world football

That is not really a great decision by pogba, when we are talking about off-season teams could look for other players as well, but when you are a disgruntled player in a big club that normally should worth a lot of money but you want out and insist on getting to another team (specifically a team like juventus) that drops your value and the team that owns you feel a bit forced to send you away in case you create problems in the locker room.

However Pogba played well, got along with teammates, provided help for the team and now says he wants to go out during the off-season, that makes him a lot more expensive and teams would not be easily giving that much money after such a huge covid season where they didn't make nearly enough money as they could have normally, next year doesn't mean we are going to see stadiums filled with fans neither, it is going to get better slowly. So teams may not be capable of spending that much money on Pogba, but if he lowered his value and insisted out during this period, he could have been sold a lot cheaper just to get rid of him and that is when other teams could have afforded him.

Declan is a great young potential player who is very vital to Westham they see him as a future captain but everyone has dreams he spent his youth age at the Chelsea academy I think Chelsea would be his first choice if they make any serious contact

Frankfurt played today and the important thing is that when I saw the result of the match and the goalscorers, I found Jovic scored a goal after entering as a substitute in the 66th minute, a goal indicating the amount of talent the player possesses so that he has three goals from two games. All this and the player did not exceed the average minutes played in the three matches 75 minutes, taking into account that he is still somewhat far from the pattern of matches and not in full physical fitness. Each round proves that he has wronged him and I hope he continues to prove himself and succeeds in confirming the phrase "Jovic is a great striker and will remain so." And it shows that Zidane failed to extract the potential that he had.

Barcelona hope to sign Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero and Bayern Munich defender David Alaba both on free transfers in the summer. They will strengthen their squad quality if these transfers happen.

Could be possible with the pocket they have. Only thing they can target are the ones going out for free or falling under their budget. Still there would be lot of teams going for both players. They are well recognized players so it won't be so easy. Don't know about Aguero but couple of days ago Alaba to Real Madrid was going on pretty strong. There are many players whose contracts are going to end in next transfer window so just wait for the crazy and these two with be amongst them.

Chelsea and Manchester Utd both want to sign Barcelona right-winger Ousmane Dembele who has 18 months left on his contract. I have no doubt that wherever he goes, he will do very nice things there. I believe he can adapt to both of these teams.

Dzeko has been not called for the last game with Roma and now he is out of the team's plan for the next future.

He is on the market and they even open to loan him, only 6 days left the problem is his high salary.

I think Dembele has missed his chance to make a move away from Barcelona; Chelsea have gotten Ziyech and Werner and also have odoi and pulisic who could play on the wings; while Manchester united are heavily interested in Jordan Sancho, who is younger and better. Barcelona would have to renew Dembele contract in the end or he joins Klopp at Liverpool who is also an admirer.

Barcelona hope to sign Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero~

It is not a new issue that Barcelona tries to sign Sergio Aguero. However, I am not sure if Barcelona can be successful to sign him since Man City isn't a club that really needs money to buy other payers. Also, Sergio Aguero is the key player there, the best CF that Man City has now. I believe Man City won't do a careless decision by selling him.

I do not think that they can get both of them. Barcelona 10 years ago was a big big name, they were capable of signing any player they want both with money because they were earning so much but for free as well  because they were a huge team that can pay so much but also give you a lot of titles as well, who wouldn't want to be on the team with xavi, iniesta and peak messi and win champions league, la liga and many more with them? There was some hype around it.

However now, they are similar to other european giants, not bad of course, they are whatever liverpool, real madrid, psg, bayern, juventus and similar level teams are, which is still huge of course but they are not on a different level of their own anymore. So they will have to fight with other these level teams if they want to get these players, if other teams do not try to get alaba or aguero, that means they will be capable of getting both of them, but if these teams get involved it is going to get tougher.

[SFR10]

It remains to be seen if Arsenal can complete the deal and if Martin Odegaard himself can leave up to the hype in the premier league.

Looks like it's almost done now ^[source] and hopefully the latter part happens so we could finally see someone else apart from the other two clowns ^{[Willian and Pepe]}.
Other rumors surrounding Arsenal:

PSG offering Draxler in exchange for Guendouzi <sup>[source 1 and source 2]
- A worthy addition.</sup>
Torreira to Monaco for a three-year contract ^{[from the same mirror source (#2)]}.
^{- Personally, I think he can still be useful to Arsenal.}

It's looking like Frank Lampard is getting the sack.
This will be after poor run of form in the league losing 5 out of 8 matches.
Lampard this season managed to get the lowest amount of points 1.67 per game since the arrival of Roman Abramovitch.
His most potential replacement is Thomas Tuchel as he is not occupied like other targets like Southampton man Ralph Hasenhüttl or Julian Nagelsmann tge manager of RB Leipzig.

Yes you are rihght; its the biggest news on skysport at the moment; Lampard greatest undoing was failure to get results when it matters most; and failure to beat a single top half team in the league this season and not getting his team to play the most basic football; Lampard was also unable to get his players firing on all cylinders. Chelsea are going for Tuchel, with the hope he is able to rejuvenate the german brothers season. But will Tuchel be a better replacement?

I think Abramovich is possibly annoyed that he backed Lampard heavily in the transfer market. They spent a lot in the summer but are miles off the pace in the PL.

Lampard surely has his part in all of this, but Chelsea's problems are much bigger than that. To start with, a shaky defence and overall a really bloated and unbalanced team that will take a few transfer windows to trim and balance.

Whoever takes the job will have to deal with 30 players wanting to play, without the ability to offload them due to high wages and lack of interest from other clubs due to the COVID crisis.

Chelsea is a club run by its directors, Lampard said already that he found the politics 'impossible to handle'. Good luck to the next one, although an experienced manager will probably deal with it a lot better than Lampard could. This job came way too early in his management career.

[Avirunes]

Like earlier Trofo said, Lampard wasn't capable o
of handling the team such big. His last couple of matches have all gone wrong. Now Tuchel to Chelsea is up next and in pole position to get job. Allegri hasn't been contacted for the job.

Still he was a very strict manager so he needs to take his job with small clubs and develop step by step and make it into managing big clubs.

Personally, I consider the decision to dismiss a coach, regardless of his name in half a season will have a lot of risk for the rest of the season for the team, especially that in Chelsea case. there are demands to reach a qualifying position for the Champions League compared to the number of contracts that occurred to the team and the money that was paid.
Chelsea are currently in ninth place in the league as no team has yet beaten them in the ladder. 25% of their goals in the league came from set balls and this is not a bad thing, except that it shows that open offensive play and through the depth of the opponent's defense does not exist.
The inability of the team to break through the last line makes it easy for the opponent to defend against them despite the great quality of the players in the squad, Chelsea this season relies a lot on the strength of James and Chilwell to make the play from the space on the right and left side.
 Lampard has one approach, which is to play in the semi-spaces or play through the sides, and if the opponent can limit these two options, it will be easy to stop Chelsea offensively or to move more precisely to greatly reduce his attack risk.

All these causes made Lampard threatened with dismissal a long time ago, to have his neck cut off today simply because he did not cope.
