Pjanic is going to Besiktas!

The transfer window is still open in Turkey, what an end for Miralem.
Just 3 years ago he was in a very good shape.

I wonder what happened to Pjanic because he used to be rated as one of the best midfielders at that time and was compared to the likes of toni Kroos and Modric but all that is story for another day. Anyway, Goodluck to him a Beşiktaş. It's not a bad club only that it's a small ones compared to the previous clubs that Pjanic used to play at. If he was still in Juventus, I feel he wouldn't have flopped. Same thing that happened to Greizman in Barcelona happened to him. Top of their game, made the transfer and lost form.

Originally the idea bringing Miralem Pjanic from Juventus to Barcelona was to play a big part and maybe rotating with Sergio Busquets. Busquests was already retarded and was having problem with fatigue and consistency. Under Massimiliano Allegri, he was perfectly deploy at a sitting midfielder in a flat 4-3-3 formation. But his time in Barcelona yielded no fruit as Koeman had worked out his team and preferred a midfield trio of Busquets, his country man Frankie De Jong and the talented youngster Pedri. Unarguably, Miralem has been a good player and has replicated that excellence anywhere he has played. I don’t know why Koeman couldn’t even feature him in the copa Del Rey games. He even accepted a pay cut towards the beginning of this season because he wanted to fight for his place, but Barcelona has to loan him out to Besiktas.

PSG did not submit a formal bid for Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo despite holding discussions over a move for the 36-year-old before he left Juventus to rejoin Manchester United. Honestly, I’m sorry we won’t see Messi and Ronaldo playing together at the same club.

Maybe PSG didn't make an offer for Cristiano Ronaldo on purpose. Because we don't know how good this duo would be at the same. It is a really big risk for a team that already have one of these players. Some people say that they would be very good as for the teamwork but some don't. And it looks like we won't see what would happen at least for now. PSG are still very powerful having only Messi and they have a big chance to win the Champions League title.

It is official Mario Mandzukic announced his retirement. One less player on the free player.

This is the list of players without any team who they can join whenever they want outside the transfer market.

There still quite a number of really decent players on that least to be honest, although their wages might be somewhat on the high, if not I guess some average teams can really make do of their services, at least for a short period..

I would have imagined Ribery has retired already, if not for this list.

Transfer rumours:

Real Madrid prepared seven contracts to negotiate with Kylian Mbappe as they aimed to sign the France forward before the transfer deadline, but the Spanish giants are optimistic the 22-year-old will choose to join them from Paris St-Germain in 2022. In this way, it seems that Real did better because they will bring a very good player for free, while PSG will not get anything. I don’t understand PSG’s strategy here.

~snip~

PSG's strategy is simple to understand actually. They are aiming to make use of Mbappe as much as possible in his last season there. They have brought Messi to the team and they want Neymar-Messi-Mbappe trio to play in the Champions League. Their main goal is to win this title in this season. If they are successful on it, then it will be worth it for sure. Otherwise, they might regret it but still I don't think that they really care about his going for free. PSG are one of the richest clubs and that's why they don't care about the money.

In my opinion, PSG desire to win the champions league makes them rule out any losses that may occur next season, one of which is to keep mbappe this season, even though they know that they are likely to suffer a considerable loss because mbappe will leave with the status of free transfer, but even so, there is still a chance for PSG to persuade mbappe to want to extend his contract with PSG and that could happen if PSG can win many titles by implementing the MNM trio this season.

They have been going unlucky so far. Last two seasons , they were have been unlucky with CL and last season they also weren't able to win the Ligue 1. IMO PSG wants to go all in and get results this time. They are building a good squad with experienced players which not only makes a good squad but also leads to development of other players who can follow these experienced players guidance.

Arsenal are considering the possibility of signing Real sociedad player,Alexander Isak,in a potential future transfer to replace Alexander Lacazette,and Aubameyang.The swedish international is rated as one of the most complete young forward in Europe,and has netted 33 goals in 90 appearances for Real sociedad.

I've seen Alexander Isak live several times when he was playing for Dortmund, where he never managed to establish himself. In fact, he is a great talent who found his fortune in Spain after a stop in Tilburg. But I don't think he is made for English football. He is a relatively elegant and lanky striker who will have some problems with the rough English football, similar to the problems he used to have at Dortmund. He should stay in Spain.

I don’t know how Borussia Dortmund allowed Alexander Isak leave like that. One thing I know about the Club is there ability to capture Young stars and make them pro. He’s a young promising and intelligent player. He’s made his name in the first Eleven in Real Sociedad. He can perform excellently well in the English premier league. You may think a Striker's performance is based on body features? Peter Crouch, Peirre Aubameyang are not too bulky but they were giving double figures. Alexander Isak is a technically gifted striker that knows more about positioning and is also a striker that knows more about playing the ball around to his team. He makes couple of runs around the penalty area making the defender unbalanced.

I think the reason why PSG chairman Nasser Al-Khelaïfi didn’t enter the deal of Christiano Ronaldo was prolly because he wanted Mbappe to stay. There’s Neymar, Lionel Meesi and Mbappé. They’re first team players, Ronaldo coming would’ve limited Mbappé's chances of playing and that alone could’ve seen him move to Real Madrid. I don’t know if they could’ve been able to handle the wage structure of these top players though but combing these forces would’ve been good for the champions league since it’s their target this season. PSG is a serious contender of the UCL trophy this season and if injuries do not set in, I don’t see any other team more prepared to win it than them. They’ve a very fearsome and sophisticated squad with a high level of experienced players. I hope they can blend well on time and win the UCL.

You may think a Striker's performance is based on body features? Peter Crouch, Peirre Aubameyang are not too bulky but they were giving double figures. Alexander Isak is a technically gifted striker that knows more about positioning and is skilled at holding up the ball and playing with his back to goal, he is also adept at making piercing runs in behind the defense and attacking the box.

Teams are struggling for money because of Covid19 and it was probably why they had to let him go for less than they would have got in a couple of years. I do not think he will ever become a top player and because of that his value will always be semi low. I do not think you can compare Isak with Peter Crouch or Peirre Aubameyang they are different players. I would not doubt Dortmund they are good at replacing players when they need to and I do not think Isak is irreplaceable and was just a promising talent.

Ronaldo was not interested in joining PSG he only had the Manchester clubs in mind, the Messi and Ronaldo thing is never going to work, I'm sure if Ronaldo and Messi were to play in one team Messi would outclass Ronaldo in the team. Ronaldo is good at scoring goals but Messi is all round player.

I guess they would have performed well on the same team, the issue is just that you need to have a spot for everyone of them if you have Mbappe, Neymar, Messi and Ronaldo. I also think that Ronaldo is a bit too much of a diva who would want to kick every free kick and every penalty. Messi is different, he is fine with giving away a penalty or free kick.

Would have been an interesting constellation to say the least. It's ok now the way it is, but it would have certainly been exciting to see the two play for the same team and how they would have managed their relationship as teammates.

Personally I wouldn't be surprised if PSG do not with the UCL, yes they are contenders, just as they have been for quite a lot of seasons now, but imo, they are not outright favorites this season, there's still Bayern, City, even Chelsea as well (the blues made a couple of smart signings), another thing I fear about PSG this season is if Pochettino would be able manage these world class players and keep all of them happy, there is already talks that Mbappe isn't too happy being in the team right now, if these players aren't managed well as a team then there could be problems as the team wouldn't blend well, they could all individually play well, but to win trophies the whole team needs to work together, they'll definitely win the French league, but the CL may still prove elusive.

regardless of who is the best, of course it is in each other's opinion because they both have skills and a very large support base so it depends on the perception of people who see if they say who is the best.
what I want to underline here is when they are faced with the same team I think this if it happens it will reduce their rivalry a little because we know Messi cannot be separated from Ronaldo and vice versa in terms of rivalry, if they are a team I feel their rivalry reduced and it will make the game less fun.
and Manchester is a good thing for Ronaldo at least to make his blood boil before he hangs up his boots.

He already left Italy for flying to Manchester before his transfer became clear. So, it seems like he didn't even think about joining PSG. Or maybe PSG weren't intending to make an offer for him so Ronaldo didn't have anything to do about it. Manchester City seemed to be the closest team but suddenly everything changed and we saw his deal with Manchester United.    It was a really weird 24-hour period to be honest.

As far as I know, the deal between Ronaldo and Manchester United has been in the final. And we haven't heard any rumors that PSG has made any offers to Ronaldo. But I heard he might join Manchester City. But City may not have been interested in him.

Aurier can play in every major team in top five leagues, it's surprising teams don't make a move. I wonder what's his wage demand? Fenerbahçe was interested signing him but even if they will they can't use him in EL group stage now. Ribery is wanted by Karagümrük, it would be interesting to watch him in Turkey after all these years. He may retire here as well. David Luiz is another surprising name that couldn't find a club yet. He may either play in Brasil or Turkey as there are transfer offers for both countries.

Aurier is linked to Arsenal in the first place otherwise to Ligue 1 team or less likely Barca or Juve.
Ribery will sign with Salernitana, it was linked also to Verona but was denied later.
David Luiz, well still not clear, Turkey? Brazil? or Serie A? Since he cares much about money AFAIK, he can join a club in Saudi Arabia or Qatar for 2 years then retire in Brazil.

As far as I know, the deal between Ronaldo and Manchester United has been in the final. And we haven't heard any rumors that PSG has made any offers to Ronaldo. But I heard he might join Manchester City. But City may not have been interested in him.

Ronaldo has officially become a manchester united player and of course this closes all the speculation that occurred during the transfer market, previously it was rumored that PSG wanted to recruit ronaldo to replace Mbappe, but this failed because PSG prefers to hold Mbappe now, if you say manchester city not interested in ronaldo, you are wrong, because actually manchester city is the most aggressive club to buy ronaldo and it is even rumored that an agreement between juventus and manchester city almost happened, but at the last second of the closing of the transfer market it turned out that manchester united also wanted to sign ronaldo so of course ronaldo would prefer to return to old trafford because the club was very instrumental in his career.

[Rengga Jati]

As far as I know, the deal between Ronaldo and Manchester United has been in the final.

Definitely. It is very clear that Man United has signed Ronaldo. They already announced it officially on all their social media. Now, it seems in progress to register him on EPL. We probably can see Ronaldo play for Man United in the next week after his registration finishes.

I heard he might join Manchester City. But City may not have been interested in him.

It is not a rumor, what you hear was true. Man City officially tried to sign Ronaldo, but unfortunately they cannot get a deal. At that time, Man United comes to Juventus and contact Ronaldo to offer a contract with Man United. Luckily, Ronaldo is interested to move to Man United and Man United agrees with the transfer fee. So, Man City's offer is refused by Ronaldo.

[MinoRaiola]

There is another offer for Franck Ribéry. It is from US Salernitana and the chances are maybe good. The salary is said to be 1.500.000€ per season and even in Serie A. So it goes on in the same league for him.  The sports director Angelo Fabiani has recently spoken positively about him. I know that Hellas Verona is also in the conversation and there i see a good chance, because his former friend Luca Toni has also played there the last station and he is certainly asked by Franck, as it is there.

Real Madrid prepared seven contracts to negotiate with Kylian Mbappe as they aimed to sign the France forward before the transfer deadline, but the Spanish giants are optimistic the 22-year-old will choose to join them from Paris St-Germain in 2022. In this way, it seems that Real did better because they will bring a very good player for free, while PSG will not get anything. I don’t understand PSG’s strategy here.
France midfielder Eduardo Camavinga, 18, convinced Rennes to let him join Real Madrid this summer, despite PSG making more lucrative offers to both himself and his former club. Another job in which Real seems to have beaten PSG.
PSG did not submit a formal bid for Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo despite holding discussions over a move for the 36-year-old before he left Juventus to rejoin Manchester United. Honestly, I’m sorry we won’t see Messi and Ronaldo playing together at the same club.
Barcelona will attempt to sign Spain forward Dani Olmo, 23, from RB Leipzig in January, having already agreed a five-year contract in principle. Olmo finally returns home 

Ronaldo to PSG wouldn't really make sense so I do understand it, they already have so many players at the offensive side, neymar, mbappe, messi, di maria, icardi all playing at offense and if you add Ronaldo to that, who are you not going to play? Or would they have like 5 offensive players at the front? Which is why that one makes sense.

Also PSG on Mbappe is obvious, they want to win the UCL this year and instead of getting money from Madrid and losing Mbappe this year, they prefer to have one more shot at UCL title and if they win it then they could either keep Mbappe or they could just give him for free because they at least have one UCL to show for it, sometimes winning is more important than money (rarely in modern football). These days there are too many teams trying to fight PSG situation and Real seems like the leader in that fight.
