According to Sky Sports, West Ham's young midfielder Declan Rice said that he is happy at West Ham now and he doesn't think of a move to another club for now. As you might have heard, Chelsea and Manchester United have been making an effort to sign him. Honestly, the thing this source says about him seems really awkward to me. Because Rice was really unhappy that his team prevented him from joining Manchester United side by increasing his asking price. I wonder what happened later and he changed his mind if this is true.

His performance very good on EURO 2020 but less chance to get new bigger club last transfer window, many club interested with him but Declan Rice keep and happy with West Ham United. Maybe next window transfer open West Ham can get much money if selling Declan Rice to bigger club like Manchester City or Manchester United.

A very stunning performance with West Ham and the England national team, made Declan Rice in great demand by Man United and Chelsea.
It is even reported that Man United and Chelsea will prioritize signing Declan Rice in the 2022 transfer market. But surprisingly based on the sources
I read Declan Rice confirmed that he would commit to West Ham, and still feel happy playing with West Ham. This is very reasonable in
my opinion because Declan Rice is only 22 years old, which maybe he is not ready to move to a big team to compete. But I believe one day
Declan Rice will leave West Ham, because it is very difficult to win trophies with West Ham. But if the price West Ham wants is too high for
Declan Rice, this can make some big teams who want to buy Declan Rice will hesitate.

Regarding the poll about Haaland's next club, I think that it can be Real Madrid or Manchester City. And this transfer will happen in the next summer most probably too. Manchester City's priority is Tottenham striker Harry Kane of course. But in case Levy still manages to keep him at the team, then they would go for Erling Haaland and be ready to use their most of their funds. Besides, Real Madrid want even Haaland and Mbappe both in the next season. And they seem like the most serious team to sign Haaland now. I'm very sure that they won't give up on him too. As a result, we will see a great competition between these teams for Haaland I assume.

[mv1986]

I think a lot depends what is going to happen to a number of other players from top clubs, first and foremost Mbappe. That definitely makes other players also change their minds if a world class player joins the team from elsewhere.

I don't know how Real Madrid is going to manage the financial fair play rules, but next year I think they want to get a decent number of world class players and then Pogba could be one of them.

Mbappe is going to demand 500k+ wages to join Real Madrid I do not think Real Madrid will be able to afford both Mbappe and Pogba. This is why I find the rumors around them signing Haaland and Mbappe stupid because they cannot afford both of them they can only afford 1 of them. Then they have to follow financial fair play and signing Mbappe might take them over that just like Barcelona there is a salary cap per team in the La Liga to and if Real Madrid want to avoid becoming like Barcelona they have to be careful how much they are paying these players that they sign. I think Mbappe might be to expensive to sign because of his wages. I think Haaland could be the better option because he will not demand as much as Mbappe.

I somewhere read the headline that financial fair play failed or is about to come to an end. That it failed is clearly true because the penalties for violating the rules don't outweigh the benefits the clubs achieve with transfers they would normally not be allowed to do.

Anyway I think that Madrid could go for a big move next season. Mbappe + Haaland would be absolutely insane, but I don't think it is impossible. Although it might not even be their plan to get two strikers of that calibre. They should rather do something for their midfield I guess.

I have heard that Manchester United are planning to make their final decision about Paul Pogba by Christmas. It is still speculated highly lately that he can leave the team and join one of the biggest alternatives now which are Real Madrid and PSG. Actually, Juventus also have been interested in signing him. But if I were Pogba, I would never want to go back to Juventus in this situation. If I leave for certain, then I would choose Real Madrid or PSG.

Next summer we will have a hot fight between the clubs for some very strong players. Pogba, Mbappe, Holland. Real Madrid, Manchester City, Chelsea and other top clubs will vie for these players and English clubs have a good chance of attracting these players to their clubs. They have great financial capabilities plus a very interesting championship. Real Madrid can attract players only with its history, financially they are unlikely to be able to compete.

Transfer rumours:

Manchester City believe they hold the edge over rivals Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea and Bayern Munich in the race to sign Benfica's Uruguayan striker Darwin Nunez. Great race for Nunez, who will win it in the end? 
Manchester United's Uruguayan striker Edinson Cavani, 34, could join Real Madrid in January, after falling down the pecking order at Old Trafford following the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo. Does Cavani really need Real given that they already have Benzema, and the likely arrival of Mbappe and Haaland next season? It seems to me that Cavani’s football career is over.
Manchester United want to have a final decision over the future of French midfielder Paul Pogba made by Christmas. When will this long football saga around Pogba finally end? 
Paris St-Germain have reportedly thrown their hat into the ring in the race to sign 21-year-old Norway striker Erling Braut Haaland from Borussia Dortmund next summer. Who will win this battle, Real or PSG?

^ Next transfer window is gonna be a busy one. Teams like Barcelona, Real Madrid, and City are in search of a big striker. So Mbappe, Haaland, Kane, Lewandowski will have a bargain and will be the hot favorites of many teams. Real have been trying to sign Mbappe for 2 seasons and Haaland is their 2nd choice. City is also interested in Lewa, Kane is also a good replacement for Aguero.

[cryptofrka]

United will find it really hard to get rid of Cavani. He just signed an extension, he's on really high wages and there aren't many clubs that can afford them.

Cavani is no longer at the top of his game and all of these clubs will either be saving money for the summer when both Mbappe and Haaland will be on the market or looking at better alternatives.

It would really surprise me if he changed clubs during the winter.

We all know Real Madrid has been a huge admirer of Pogba for a long time. Pogba is getting the minutes in Utd, but he will be more appreciated in teams like Real Madrid or PSG. If he chooses Real Madrid, he will have to fight for his place as Real's midfield is stacked with good players. If he chooses PSG, he will be an easy starter in almost every match. Let's see what Utd thinks of him.

Xisco Munoz: Watford sack manager after poor spell
Too bad the board and management had sacked Muniz as Watford manager, he who promoted the club from championship into premier league I think his sack is an hasty decision and not a good idea at this point in time, Watford is 14th on EPL table with two wins, a draw with four losses though and in better position above relegation zone and in better position compared to Norwich, Newcastle, crystal palace, Burnley, Leeds and Southampton, I hope this decision would not lead to spell doom  of the club.

In addition to a contract extension at Chelsea FC, Antonio Rüdiger could also move to FC Bayern or Real Madrid. Rüdiger would like to earn at least £200,000 per week. All three clubs offer him this sum.

Sources have told @TheAthleticUK that Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are willing to pay the kind of salary Antonio Rüdiger is looking for. Two other top European clubs are also thought to be keen. It is believed staying at Chelsea is Rüdiger’s first choice.

Chelsea might not necessarily have to make the highest offer to secure Rüdiger's signature, but it will still have to be a figure close to what others are prepared to pay him. The defender is aiming for a sum closer to the £200,000 a week mark to stay [@TheAthleticUK]

I think Rüdiger would be a huge boost for all three clubs. However, I don't think FC Bayern necessarily needs him at the defender position. The market value of Rüdiger is €28m and I think it will ultimately depend on which club Rüdiger would prefer to play for. It is very likely that he will stay at FC Chelsea.

On 29 November in Paris, the Ballon d'Or will be awarded. Messi, Cr7 and Lewandoski are all great players, but both of them have a mediocre season in comparison to Lewandoski. There comes a point when we all admit that Lewandoski deserves to win. Messi and Cr7 are goats, but that doesn't mean you have to favor them just because they are goats.

However, the winner is already in Paris, isn't it? And the winner of the Ballon d'Or in 2021 will be...

Ughh, I am not so sure about the thing you brought up about Madrid's financials. They offered 200 million EUR for Mbappe just recently and I am quite sure they also offered a very, very competitive salary. Paris just didn't let Mbappe go and so he had to stay. Next year Mbappe is without a contract, which means that Real can offer a horrendous salary plus some very decent hand money. And also keep in mind that Mbappe already said he wants to join Real Madrid. I think we will see one absolute world star in Madrid next year, at least one.

but if we talk about strikers at Manchester United they don't really need to worry even if this happens, considering that until now there are still several names that can indeed be used as options.
other than that I think this exchange will be good for MU considering Tanguy Ndombele is one of the players who can indeed be used as a good defensive midfielder. even though they now have several defensive midfielders, the advantage of this ndombele when viewed from his game he is very creative and can be an option in the starting line-up.

I guess that they would also need to reconsider what to do with Ronaldo if they lose Martial and looking for a striker as well. Martial could play "around" Ronaldo while Ronaldo plays ahead, which means that the player they need to get should be a good scorer but not a pure striker, not like a poacher level player. Martial is perfect for that, greenwood is perfect for it as well, even Rashford works, but Ndombele? That doesn't work at all because he is a midfield, defensive midfield level of player and he is at the back.

I assumed that this was a discussion they had because of Pogba. If Pogba leaves but they get Ndombele to replace him, that could actually work quite well and that is what I assumed would have happened. We do not know if Pogba would leave or not, we still have no idea about that, but if he does, Ndombele could be the 100% perfect replacement.

the indications are indeed pointing in that direction because until now the news about Pogba who has not renewed his contract for MU is still making headlines and until now there is still no clarity about it.
with the inclusion of ndombele at least they can make a new design and just in case when pogba really leaves old trafford.
but indications like this will also be restrained by the current news that MU is intensively hunting for a midfielder from Westham which has even become a polemic and split between the manager and club officials about this Declan Rice rumor.

This year the awarding of the golden ball takes place earlier... They usually do it in December/January, no?  I don't know, Lewandowski is not that good. He's powerful, he scores a lot of goals, but who does he score a lot of goals for? Top teams? No, mediocre teams in his league. But I also can't call Messi and Cristiano the Ballon d'Or winners, they both had a 50/50 season, didn't stand out on the field in any way.

His performance very good on EURO 2020 but less chance to get new bigger club last transfer window, many club interested with him but Declan Rice keep and happy with West Ham United. Maybe next window transfer open West Ham can get much money if selling Declan Rice to bigger club like Manchester City or Manchester United.

It is obvious that dude is being nice to west ham, you do not have to say that you are unhappy to the news, you say that to manager or your agent or team management but not to news. There is a slight difference between being openly against your team and being against secretly.

He definitely would prefer to be in United, who wouldn't want to be in United, but you can't get there by making a scene because if you do then even they may not get you, so you act nice and cool and hope for them to get you and meanwhile you let your agent know that you want to leave and your agent speaks with both west ham and united and try to find a middle without you actually doing anything yourself so that people think you are just looking at your business and ignore those stuff.

Xisco Muñoz has been sacked as Watford manager.
Muñoz is the first managerial casualty this season, with the club sat 14th in the Premier League table.
A club statement said: "Watford FC confirms Xisco Munoz has left his post as the club's Head Coach.

Ranieri rumours of taking over Watford for the next coach 15rh coach in ten year.

[cryptofrka]

Mbappe just told RMC that he still plans to leave PSG. He said that he told it clearly in July to everyone involved and that he wanted PSG to receive a transfer fee so they can bring a quality replacement.

PSG's decision not to sell him really seems bizarre, they could have bought Haaland to replace him. They still can next season, but the fight to get Haaland will be huge and they will have 200 million less to spend.

This probably means that Real Madrid will make the biggest free transfer in the history of football. I really do not know who can stand in their way.

A positive move is sure,all of this transfer issues makes a player or retards the playing form of a player.
He'll sure move across to the Los blancos side next season.
I'm also certain about the movement of Paul Pogba to Real Madrid, having refused to sign for Manchester United till this moment as well the huge sum given to him.
A dream move I have envisaged a very long time, finally coming through.

Ranieri rumours of taking over Watford for the next coach 15rh coach in ten year.

If we look at Watford's very poor performance, in 7 matches they only managed to win two match. It is only natural that Watford management
finally announced that they had fired Xisco Munoz, this means Xisco Munoz becomes the first coach to be sacked in the Premier League this
season. According to a report from SKY Sport Italia, Claudio Ranieri has reportedly reached an agreement with Watfotd. We know that Ranieri is
not the first time coaching a Premier League team, Ranieri has previously coached Chelsea, Leicester and Fulham. But Ranieri was only successful
when he was coach of Leicester, who managed to give the Premier League trophy the 2015/2016 season. Hopefully Watford can be successful with
Ranieri, Watford will give an official announcement before the Watford vs Liverpool match starts.
