Busquets has made the right decision in my opinion. At the end of his career and at this old age he should give his body some rest and it is good to see that he knows even though he is not one of the best players for Barcelona anymore he can still contribute to some other League and in some other teams. And at this point, I think it is more important to end the career with some more money in hand compared to just being the representative of just one club.

So, I think he made the right choice and in his new team, he is going to get a good amount of playtime and also get a good amount of money considering that he is quite old at this point.

He is a barcelona legend and he has a lot of achievements in his heyday, now that he is entering the age of aging it is only natural that he has become a back-up player in the transition period carried out by Xavi. Barcelona have a stock of quality players who can occupy his position so that in the remaining period of his contract Sergio Busquets will lose a lot of playing time due to the age factor. we will see where he will go when his contract expires but I think he will go to an easier league like MLS or he will go to Serie A. Xavi transition period has also been very successful so far so no wonder the senior players  will lose more playing in each match.

C Ronaldo will consider moving to his local league than going to Bayern if Manchester United will let him go, am not sure if Manchester United Wes
I sell him soon. He's part of Teng's long-time plan. Except Manchester United buy Good striker next season who can fit in.

I don't understand why so many people expect him to go to Bayern when it's clear Bayern don't want to bring them to the Alianz Arena and are more interested in Kane now.
Ronaldo's condition is indeed still able to compete in the Bundesliga but we also have to see that his style of play doesn't really match Bayern's game which is clearly a problem if forced.
In addition, many Bayern officials have also given statements that he will not be at Bayern so why should he continue to be involved when the club itself does not want him to be there.

Mbappe will want to move to Real Madrid to fulfill his childhood dream of playing for Real Madrid, tbh Real Madrid have the capability to sign Mbappe, this transfer is very likely to happen in the future. I will love to see Mbappe in Madrid and linking up with the likes of Rodrygo, Vinicius and the rest of the young and talented Madrid team and I have a feeling these players will blend in very fine and will form a more formidable partnership at all positions for Real Madrid.

Mbappe ought to have move to Real Madrid in the last transfer market considering the contract  he was offered by Madrid, but PSG decided to extend his contract by three years while giving him a mouthwatering offer worth £4m monthly including other terms which is far better than Madrid, from my own point of view such an offer is irresistible and there is the tendency of contract extension if the present one expired and PSG major priority and ambition is to win the coveted UCL trophy this season having dominated the Ligue-1 for many seasons this was one of the reasons of keeping Mbappe at all cost.

PSG done more than they afford for keeping Mbappé and this all just because of their desire to win Champions League because this is surely having some positive impact but sadly recently all soccer world watching how childish behavior is Mbappé with his teammates which is creating mess up, and they are fail to have any positive result in Champions League even new coach doing good job but still they need to be better in Champions League because this year is going to be very important for the management if they fail to have their desired result then certainly it's going to be the worst case and most chances we will have some big changes in this club.

Even many expecting changes of management also can happen because this failure is surely going to be had some serious trouble for them in future and change of coach which happened in last transfer window was also just because of their desire for having Champions League title but managements treatment policy is also under fire because they need to be change this as well.

It is unlikely that Cristiano Ronaldo will return to Italy in the near future. there is a possibility that Bayern Munich might be interested in approaching him in the future, and this would be the best thing for him. my opinion is that his going to Bayern Munich is obviously a good move for both parties in the long run. Bayern Munich is prepared to pay him a reasonable wage, but the question is how much are they prepared to pay him?
Honestly, i think he will have to take a pay cut as a result of this. to let him go, Manchester United will also be looking for a good amount of money in order to do so. however, on the other hand, Manchester United also does not want him on the team at the moment, so it is likely that they will be ready to let him go for a lower price as soon as they are ready to let him go.

"In the future" is something that is quite tough when we are talking about Ronaldo. I mean he is already old enough, getting him next season for example would be even older player, and yes he is still decent enough but I would prefer if they got someone younger. I get that they lost their chances for Haaland, but there are other strikes in the world that they could get and take advantage of their young age.

With Ronaldo that is maybe 1-2 season covering the issue, maybe not even that much and he would be straight up bad for them because even if it's Ronaldo we are talking about, even he can't beat father time and he will eventually get worse.

We all know about the characteristics of Cristiano Ronaldo. He is not going to retire anytime soon. But I also agree that he does not have too much time left in his career. He is not getting enough time on the pitch because Manchester United is getting good results without him.

So, I don't think Manchester United is going to want to keep him in the team. Even if Cristiano Ronaldo has to take a pay cut, I think he should move. I really hope that he is approached by Bayern Munich in the very next transfer window. And I think I should have used "in the recent future" when I am talking about Cristiano Ronaldo, especially now.

There’s now a different manager in the chelsea side that might admire the services of Lukaku and I won’t rule out a come back for him. He’s a good and experienced striker. Tuchel’s system didn’t favor him and the other strikers that also left. Graham Potter might request for him after this season loan. If him, the manager can convince him about starting place and the  style of play that will suit him, I don’t see why he won’t want to join them after his loan spell in Inter Milan.

Change of manager is surely having signal of change of things in near future as well because Tuchel system was not having positive development, so new management bring new coach Graham Potter which is looking for few changes which is surely going to happen in January transfer window with Lukaku is also not happy in Inter with their current form so most chances we can watch big changes even right now Raheem Sterling and Aubameyang already in this squad which is clearly indicating how strong their attack is, but we have to wait for more announcements and performance of the team in near future.

Here we have only one point if new coach and Lukaku are agreed about this possible transfer then surely something will happen otherwise they can stick with current squad and with few changes still possible to have good results and change of fortune.

Graham Potter's brilliance is yet to be seen, soon the games will resume and more games will be played then we will be able to to see how effective and efficient can be. About bringing in new signings we will have to wait until January transfer window to see which players he thinks are best for the team and how well they will improve the squad.

[CLS63]

I think that Bayern Munich won't change their mind about not signing Ronaldo in the future also. They need to make a striker transfer that will be enough for at least a few years. Ronaldo is getting very old and we don't know when he will retire. His performance isn't even near his performance in his younger times. This wouldn't be a logical transfer for Bayern Munich as a result.

Harry Kane is the most ideal option for them now. However it is nearly impossible for them to make this transfer happen in the winter transfer window. Whatever amount they offer, Tottenham wouldn't like to sell him in the middle of the season unless they find a solid replacement for him. Kane also looks happy to play for them now as things are going on great for Tottenham in the EPL now.

[D-law]

Therefore, bringing Ronaldo to the Allianz Arena is clearly impossible for now because Bayern's philosophy is very different from Ronaldo's playing style.
We know that some of the officials there didn't want to bring him in transfers last season and now it will be the same because they realize that bringing in Ronaldo could be a blunder for themselves.

I think it would be beneficial for both if Ronaldo joins Bayern Munich. Ronaldo is still one of the best strikers in the world. Bayern Munich now needs a regular scorer. And I think Ronaldo will be able to score a lot of goals with Bayern Munich's strong squad. But Bayern's contract with Ronaldo will not be profitable for more than 1 or 2 years. And in the meantime, Bayern Munich will have to find a replacement for Ronaldo.

Not. When the officials at Bayern Munich are not interested then it is definitely not really worth it for them to do. I know he can still be competitive. but it's a teamwork and Bayern still hold on to that philosophy so when something like this happens there's no reason for them to bring in Ronadlo.
Talks about him to Bayern had actually ended when club officials said they were not interested and there was really nothing else to link Ronaldo with Bayern.

Since they can't get Harry Kane Ronaldo will be the next option
Bayern will do poorly if they don't get a striker to replace Lewandoski
They can still get other options even if it's not Ronaldo.

Bayern is still adaption from what they big lost, Lewandowski. Bayern now is looking to lose a machine goal, and no one can replace as what he have done. As I can see also there is no name of a Bayern player on the top score, this is an unusual thing for fans, especially no Bayern name on the top 3 Bundesliga. And, I thing they will pass it until next session.

It's really strange to see Bayern Munich's performance slumping because of frequent defeats and finally making their points in the standings overtaken by many other clubs, Bayern Munich should have been ready when they lost Robert Lewandowski and in the previous few matches they could also get a lot of wins without Robert Lewandowski. They should have worked as a team to get more goals without Robert Lewandowski.

Kane also looks happy to play for them now as things are going on great for Tottenham in the EPL now.

If we look at Bayern's performances they are not too bad, even in the last 4 matches in the Bundesliga Bayern managed to make 95 shots.
But it was very disappointing that only 4 goals could be scored by Bayern, meaning that Bayern had problems on their front lines. Losing Lewandowski
had a big impact on Bayern's goal productivity. So from now on Bayern must start looking for a replacement for Lewandowski, because Sadio Mane
doesn't seem to be able to play as a center forward. Several times Nagelsmann gave Mane the opportunity to play as a center forward,
but Mane's performance was disappointing.

Actually, the strongest candidate to replace Lewandowski is Harry Kane, but as you said the chances of Bayern getting Kane are very slim.
Apart from Tottenham not being able to let Kane go this season, Kane is also not necessarily interested in leaving Tottenham at this time.
Because since Conte's arrival, Tottenham's performance seems to have improved much better. So Bayern have to look for other alternatives,
maybe I think Victor Osimhen can be an alternative if Harry Kane is hard to get. But if Bayern want to sign Osimhen they have to compete
with Man United, who reportedly want Osimhen.

[Igebotz]

Real Madrid is also very serious about Mbappé's arrival in Real Madrid but sadly with the current situation they are not going to take any risk with their youths are also giving their best, and they won last season double without any big name which is also one of the best achievements for them and with this result they can feel proud and also can stay with these players for some more time.

Do you think Benzima, Kross, Modric, Alaba, Casimero, and Coutious are a joke? Are these not big names in the Real Madrid team, man? Is Mbappe better than all of these players?

Real Madrid have already moved on from Mbappe deal, and for the next five years we won't hear anything about it because he is fully committed to PSG.

AFAIK Bayern said clearly and more than once that they have no intention to bring CR7. This is mainly due to his salary and his age. BTW that was said before he drops much in performance.. so why would they took him now while they can pick another young talented player? In World Cup we might discover some of them.

It is definitely true that Bayern said multiple times now that they are not interested in signing Cristiano Ronaldo. Of course they respect him as a player and there is no doubt that he is still a very good striker that can help every team, but it just makes no sense for Bayern to pay a lot of money (transfer fee + a very high salary) for a player that is already 37 years old. It also seems like the rumors about Bayern Munich being interested to sign Harry Kane after this season could really be true. This will probably be a very expensive transfer for Bayern so it would just not make any sense to pay 30 or 40 Milion € now for CR7 for only half a season.

[poodle63]

C Ronaldo will consider moving to his local league than going to Bayern if Manchester United will let him go, am not sure if Manchester United Wes
I sell him soon. He's part of Teng's long-time plan. Except Manchester United buy Good striker next season who can fit in.

With what I'm noticing, the best Manchester united will do to balance their team,. Is to buy striker and without that Manchester united will lose most of their matches. Another option is to sell Ronald. Concerning going to local league and Bayern, the way I'm seeing Ronald, it will prefer playing in Bayern than playing local irrespective of the financial value that will be involved,  players like to perform will they will view than local. Except that it's players that is money minded

You're right about that. Picking young talented player is far better rather than bringing an old player to the munich. Sadio mane needs more time to adapt with bayern. It seems like bayern must use its available resource for now to compete with another team in the bundesliga.
I know how hard bayern without pure striker that can act like lewandoski but the season is always still running no matter what happened with club

Actually, Harry Kane does not seem to have expressed and does not show a fervent desire to move to Bayern Munich. On the contrary, judging by the latest information, the player is going to stay and continue his performances for the club. However, I think that in this matter a lot rests on the figure of Tottenham head coach Antonio Conte. It's no secret that the player has excellent communication and understanding with the current head coach of the team. For Conte, there is such a trait as a tendency to change places and clubs and a possible repetition of the situation with the same Inter, when the coach was not satisfied with the efforts and transfer policy of the club. Therefore, if Conte leaves Tottenham, then I would not guarantee that Kane will not want to change the situation at another club. But also I would not guarantee that the priority option in this case would be the option with Bayern Munich.

Bayern's management wants to sign a replacement striker for Lewandowski for the long term, so it's only natural that Ronaldo is not on Bayern's radar.
Moreover, the transfer market has closed, so it is impossible for Bayern to bring in new players in the near future. Maybe early next year Bayern can
start moving again looking for new players to replace Lewandowski. I agree that for now Nagelsmann should be able to find the right formation of
players who are indeed available, if we look at the current Bayern squad, actually there are many good players who have just been brought in
by Bayern and have not been able to adapt. One of them is Sadio Mane who has not been able to adapt to the Bayern game, but if Mane continues
to be given the opportunity to play, I'm sure Mane will slowly start to find his best form. It's good for a short-term solution if Nagelsmann dares to make
a formation change by playing without a pure striker, because instead of imposing with previous strategies that have proven ineffective, Nagelsmann
must dare to make experiment.

[Swordsoffreedom]

I would say Nagelsmann should change his formation. But it seems he won't do it. Because after the formation change, the team also needs some time to stabilize. So maybe Nagelsmann will decide to change the position of Sadio Mane in the next match. I think he will probably use Muller as the main striker. Sadio Mane is more likely to be on the left wing. Probably will keep the same position as Bayern Munich played against Barcelona.

The Leverkusen team is not strong this season I know it too. But this team's performance is erratic. I don't think Bayern Munich can win if they don't play well. Bayern Munich must perform very carefully in this match.

So inevitably Nagelsmann must target several main strikers in the next transfer window to improve Bayern's performance going forward. however, currently bayern munich have to play with existing players.
I'm not saying that their overall performance has decreased greatly. it's just that they don't have a finisher striker as the main Target Man like when there was Lewandowski.
so let's see, what strategy will Nagelsmann apply in that match. but I assume, Mane will still be the main striker.
As for Leverkusen, many people assume that Bayern will have a hard time in this match, but in fact it is Leverkusen who really need a win to rise so they can not fall to the bottom of the Bundesliga. I predict Bayern will win the game with a score of 2-1.

Not sure what strategy Bayern Munich will play yet. But I think they will play the same strategy against Leverkusen as Nagelsmann did against Barcelona. Because they were able to beat a strong team like Barcelona 2-0. Sadio Mane played the main striker role against Augsburg in the next match as well, but Bayern Munich lost the match.

Since the opponent is Leverkusen, it is very difficult to guarantee that Bayern will win this match. Leverkusen is not in good form right now, but they continue to try their best to get back on track. It is always difficult to win against such a team.

[makishart]

Even if Lewandowski stayed at Bayern, it would not change the problem that the club would be forced to deal with the problem of his departure. Well, if he left a year or two later (due to age) - I don’t see any fundamental differences. Top clubs solve the problem of leaving their stars in advance, for example, Real got rid of Ronaldo long before he passed his peak (or at least an acceptable level of play to be in Real) and nothing tragic happened to Real.
But of course it's funny that everything is shaping up so that in the end Ronaldo can be the savior of Bayern in the winter.

While you are correct in that it is counterproductive to talk about the past, I think you have a really great perspective on Cristiano Ronaldo joining Bayern Munich and I think you are really right. Since last season, CR7 has been wanting to get out of Manchester United as he has learned that United are not the team that will be able to compete in the Champions League, and he really wants to play in the Champions League. In my opinion, this could be a great option for both parties as Bayern Munich will be able to get a good striker for the next one or two years and Ronaldo will be able to play again in the Champions League.

Rather, not for a year or two, but for half the season and, at best, the next season. It seems that United were ready to release Ronaldo on loan, provided that Ronaldo extended the contract for another season. The idea was to bring him back if United won a ticket to the Champions League. Now the situation has changed, but a lot still depends on the results of United this season.

United is still having a chance to win a ticket to the champion league for the next season as long as this club can consistently winning the match against big club like city. United able to defeat arsenal and it was also able to do the same with city. MU has a big chance to make it happen. We know that if some big clubs like liverpools are starting to face difficult time to get full points in EPL. Remember that menchester city was also loosing against liverpool.
MU has more than enough to enter into the top 4 if the club will not face another lose or bad situation like early season.

I don’t think that this transfer is going to happen, unless Bayern have a new coach in place who badly wants Ronaldo to come and play for them. Furthermore it’ll also depend if Ten Hag wants him on the bench as the season progresses, hence it’s not in Ronaldo’s hand because as far as I know Bayern don’t want him and Ten Hag may not let him leave.

[Smack That Ace]

Bayern Munich has always been the Champion in Bundesliga , it is possible for Bayern Munich to win the trophy in the Bundesliga.  Their present performance  will be solved in short time.  Bayern Munich needs some time to come back strong.

Bayern Munich still has time to improve its performance to be more consistent in the upcoming matches, the defeat to Augsburg is an embarrassing tragedy for Bayern Munich because based on predictions and the quality of the Bayern Munich team it can easily win the match, but what happened on the field was the opposite, Munich had to swallow the first defeat of a team they should have been able to beat.

Julian Nagelsmann must be able to bring Bayern Munich to catch up 5 points behind Union Berlin who are at the top of the standings, however if Julian Nagelsmann fails to live up to the club's management hopes of seeing Munich back at the top of the table then his position will be jeopardized. A change of coach could be done if Nagelsmann failed to do his job, the Munich management could appoint Tuchel as the new coach because his current status is not in charge of any club.

Bayern Munich is not performing well right now and there is no excuse for that. They will obviously have to improve their performance. And I really don't understand what is not working. The team itself is really good. The players are very good individual players as well. So, there is no question that this team is still the best in Bundesliga.

And after that obviously, the finger is going to be pointed toward the coach. After all, the management can be the only reason why the team is not working as it should be. So I think the job of Nagelsmann is under a big threat. Unless he can improve the results of the team with some changed strategy.

Everything geta better off your comfort zone, I'll be much paranoid if this deal doesn't get sealed, that would be the best decision he has ever taken in his career honestly, he should have moved to Manchester City some seasons ago but too much of the price couldn't get that sealed.

I know very well he's been professional, but I must say he deserves a better and bigger team than Tottenham Hotspur. They're my hot pick foe the premier league though, but you can keep silent to Bayern Munich this way when you see they lack a number nine and you can fill in that space with your eyes wide shut!

I would be so happy to see another British player doing well with the likes of Sancho and Jude Bellingham who's doing it already.
