I've heard that Newcastle are preparing to make two big transfers now.

James Maddison and Youri Tielemans both are under their radar at the moment. As Leicester are having a terrible season and under the threat of relegation, Newcastle must be thinking that it would be easier for them to convince them. However I'm pretty confident that there would be some bigger teams to try to sign them as well.

For example, Manchester United have been monitoring Tielemans' condition for a while. His contract is ending next summer so they have a big chance to sign him for free. A very talented midfielder like Maddison would also be under the radar of a big team shortly. This would be a huge weakening for Leicester in the attacking line but they can't do anything about this I'm afraid.

If Leicester City should lose both Maddison and Tielemans in the January transfer window, I'll probably bet on them to not avoid relegation come the end of the season, Maddison specifically have been on of their best player, Tielemans might not have been the most consistent though but he's still going to be a huge blow to lose him. I really can't see Leicester allowing both players to leave, not during the extreme struggle they facing right now, but you can expect the performance at the world cup too to trigger a whole lot of prospective transfers.

I don't think that these probable transfers would happen in January. I assume that we would see this happening next summer unless Leicester end the season at a decent position in the standings. If they relegate from the league then there is no way they can convince great players like Maddison and Tielemans to stay here.

The thing Leicester need to do in the meantime is that they should bring some new defenders to the team in January to get stronger in defense. This is the only way they can get themselves out of the relegation area and finish the season in a safe place.

The only advantage of Bayern Munich signing Ronaldo is that they will generate more money from the sale of jerseys. Signing Ronaldo will also require lots of money for Bayern Munich.

I don't think Bayern Munich need that, Bayern prefer to strengthen the line-up, they don't look like they are short on funds. Bayern need players who can make the difference and cover the gap left by Lewandowski, and Cristiano Ronaldo is still less effective for Bayern's needs.
I'm pretty sure of the signing of Sadio Mane but to maximize their desire, Bayern need more than what they have at the moment to partner Sadio Mane up front.
Bayern's achievements in the Bundesliga further reinforce the notion that they need new players up front

I am not entirely sure if all will be ok if they just say no to money. I mean think about it, Ronaldo has a big follower base all around the world, which would be a huge amount of money for them, sure he sold a lot in United as well but that was a special case, we should look at Juventus to see something a bit more realistic.

Bayern could have some money, but saying no to even more money while having a good player would be idiotic. I feel like they would say no, not because of any money deal, but because they need someone that could play with them a long time and that’s a bit more realistic approach for sure, someone who is maybe at max 28 years old, probably younger would be better.

[X-ray]

Ronaldo can be a solution for Munich for the front lines. but it all depends on the interest and seriousness of Munich.
if consider the purchase to be a Munich business and long-term investment. Of course, Ronaldo will not be on the Munich buy list. with old age, although the arrival of Ronaldo will make sales of jerseys and souvenirs from the club increase. but it will only last for the duration of the contract. I think Munich is thinking of a player asset that has more value in the long term.

This isnt realistic,Bayern Munich always go for players that will stay in club for 5+ years and they are looking probobly for under 27-28 years old strikers. Ronaldo would be a boost for their marketing and would attract more fans to watch bayern munich but this wont happen because Bayern dosent think he is the future for them.

True, After some confirmation from bayern and why people are still thinking about that. The fact that if bayern munchen didn't need old player like ronaldo. Bayern was always looking for young player and this can be considered as long term assets too.
Buying ronaldo will become a big mistake that has ever made by bayern in the history. Ronaldo is too old. he will give nothing to the bayern. That will give money to the MU.
It's better to buy another player rather than ronaldo

Leipzig might be near losing Christopher Nkunku to Chelsea in the near future according to Transfermarkt.

He actually newly signed a contract extension with his team until 2026. However it doesn't seem like that will be enough to stop Chelsea from signing him. I assume that he wouldn't like to refuse a big chance to play in the best league in Europe also. Chelsea are trying to consolidate their squad to be stronger next season. I said "next season" because this transfer isn't planned for January I'm afraid. Actually Nkunku is a really impressive youngster and he is already a very reliable striker for his team.

His last season performance was like 35 goals and 20 assists in 52 games. Now he is on 6 goals and 1 assist by his 11th game already. However I hope that this doesn't become another disappointment coming from Leipzig for Chelsea. Timo Werner was also amazing before coming here but all his great performance was gone later on.

Christopher Nkunku is on Chelsea radar for next season as he has already completed his deal. He's promising striker and I don't think he would be a flop just like Timo Werner. He's sharp with the ball and he's 24years which means he still have a big chance to explore his chances of becoming a top striker for Chelsea. He might served as a backup striker for blues like coming up from the bench to substitute Pierre Aubameyang. Chelsea is a team where they always expects the best from their new players therefore putting the players under pressure to impressed the club and fans.

The war chest they received from Chelsea for Wesley Fofana will actually go a long way with helping them reinforce their defense by January, they should be to get a couple of decent defenders or maybe 3 of them if they choose to look outside the bristish players and scout for them in other leagues across Europe.

I believe they'll snap out of their terrible form very very soon.

The fact that a player increased his contract send 2 messages: whether you forgot about the transfer or you pay more! In this situation Chelsea will pay more imo to get him.

The reason was also coming to the club that owned the player. Chelsea has been giving various offers to the so many players owned by another team. The problem is sometime the player wanna join but the team owned them refused to agreed with the offers that already made by chelsea or MU. This is why the transfer can't be done easily caused by the player was still in the contract.
Chelsea must put more effort to make it happen. I think that with the current squad is good enough as long as graham can use all of resources that available for the best.

It is true that the transfer of players must be approved by the club first. because as you said since the player is still under contract, and there
have been rumors that Christopher Nkunku will move from Leipzig for a long time. But Leipzig always refuses incoming offers, because Nkunku is
a key player for Leipzig. But if Chelsea are serious about signing Nkunku they will have to be willing to spend a lot of money, considering that
Nkunku has just extended his contract until 2026. I believe Chelsea with the new owners have very strong financial strength, So like the issue of
price is not a barrier for Chelsea. Besides, I'm sure if Chelsea dared to make a very big offer, then Leipzig will accept the offer.

Leipzig also actually has quite a lot of forwards, so losing Nkunku wouldn't really be a big deal for Leipzig. I honestly agree with your opinion,
Chelsea don't need to spend a lot of money to buy strikers. Because Chelsea already have Aubameyang as a striker, so actually Chelsea's squad is
solid enough, it's just Graham Potter's job to find an effective strategy.

However I hope that this doesn't become another disappointment coming from Leipzig for Chelsea. Timo Werner was also amazing before coming here but all his great performance was gone later on.

Actually last season extended contract until 2026 need spent much money for Chelsea to sign in Christopher Nkunku, no doubt with Chelsea attacking line most poor this season after leaving by Lukaku and Warner. Not enough with new replacement by Aubameyang because still can't scoring goals until several games with Chelsea. I believe RB Leipzig give offering most expensive values, actually Christopher Nkunku just sign in extended contract with Leipzig last several months ago and seems above 100 million euro is most valuable for bringing him to Stanford Bridge.

No doubt with Christopher Nkunku potential become attacking player for Chelsea and he has brilliant statistic with RB Leipzig from 35 goals, 20 assits in 52 games. Most incredible in this season Christopher Nkunku have scored 4 goals of 7 games with RB Leipzig, I hope Chelsea as soon possible get deal with new attacking player looking on several games in this season faced difficult scoring goals except did by Raheem Sterling as most ever Chelsea player scored goals.

The speculation about Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't seem to be over yet
Sources from several media report that the Portuguese star's desire to leave Manchester United was still a hot topic, although in the end Ronaldo play his first match in the Europa League with the Red Devils which became the answer that Ronaldo would stay in Manchester. United at least until his contract expires next summer.
To date Cristiano Ronaldo has played 8 match with Manchester United since the season start, yes although the minutes are still far from what we expect

Graham Potter has equally played down talks about this move in his press conference
Believe it or not there is an amount of truth in the news immediately after the world Cup it'll be up in the media again
He is a big name he should move else where to prove himself.

[Jody.Drummer]

There are several rumors that I read regarding the transfer of Barcelona players at the moment. according to some news quoted from Tuttosport says Lewandowski suggested Barcelona to bring in defenders and juniors in the Jakub Kiwior National Team from Spezia.
Currently Jakub Kiwior is being monitored by West Ham and Milan maybe for a season transfer in the mid-season break they will fight with these 2 clubs in bringing in young players who according to Lewandowski have quite good potential.

Oh my god, you all talk about his age, did you even watch the Manchester United games? Or do you really think that in the three months of the break he got so old that he stopped playing well. After all, last season he was playing fine. Most likely he just lacks playing practice. And besides, his mother recently said he would play until he was 40.

Actually, when talking about age, in this case Ronaldo's age can indeed be said to be quite old and even he is at the highest age to compete in the EPL as far as I know at this time.
But I agree with what you said, Ronaldo's capacity cannot be measured only from his current age. He is a goat and even though his current age can be said to be old, his performance will not decrease that drastically.

The reason was also coming to the club that owned the player. Chelsea has been giving various offers to the so many players owned by another team. The problem is sometime the player wanna join but the team owned them refused to agreed with the offers that already made by chelsea or MU. This is why the transfer can't be done easily caused by the player was still in the contract.
Chelsea must put more effort to make it happen. I think that with the current squad is good enough as long as graham can use all of resources that available for the best.

This may be true but even so I think it would be a good thing if Chelsea could bring in a player like Graham Potter wanted.
At the moment he is the new coach and of course there are some players who could fit into his plans and some that don't which means they should have some additions there.

Agree with what you said, even though Ronaldo is currently still a very good option, especially in productivity scoring goals but of course they can still look for potential young players rather than expecting someone who is quite phenomenal like Ronaldo but his career will definitely end in a few more years.
They are also not ambitious in bringing in Ronaldo so there is no reason for those with the financial condition to do this.

If we refer to the last four matches of Bayern Munich, it is clear that Bayern need a main striker to break their deadlock. and in last night's match, Bayern put Muller as the main striker. although they won by a landslide score, but placing Muller as the main striker was an emergency option. which means, Bayern need a main striker as a replacement for Lewandowski.

As for Sadio Mane, no one doubts him but he is not a pure striker. and it looks like Nagelsmann will be targeting several players in the upcoming transfer window. however, the choice is not on Ronaldo.
as you said, Bayern are more interested in young players with more potential than expecting someone quite phenomenal like Ronaldo.

This may be true but even so I think it would be a good thing if Chelsea could bring in a player like Graham Potter wanted.
At the moment he is the new coach and of course there are some players who could fit into his plans and some that don't which means they should have some additions there.

Yeah but chelsea has been wasting so much money without any good result. Graham may need to bought the new player that will be included in his starter line but i think the smartcoach will not always thinking like that. The smart coach will able to use the available resources in the club. We are still too far from the next transfer season. I don't even think if this will be good for chelsea even if the club bought some expensive players as suggested by its coach.
The clun needs a coach that can use everything.

It is normal that Graham Potter wants new players for himself. Every new coach no matter how good he is will always have some players that he has worked with and will always want to work with. That is how football is, whenever a new coach takes a new responsibility there'll be realignment of players, (especially if the transfer window is open) from his former Club they would like to meet up with their new boss because they have known his style of play and his decisions.

So it is not wrong if Graham Porter wants new players who he can manage and can listen to his instructions to win matches.

[Pokapoka124]

The next transfer window will be very interesting, many teams will be active in the market to replace injured players and some players will be departing for new clubs so I'm expecting some surprise moves to be done in January. The issue with Ronaldo have been talked about since August and it will be a relief to finally see what is in store for the legend so we can move on from this speculations.

Indeed, in this case I agree with Bayern to add a striker there but do not have to force Ronaldo, which is clearly rejected by the higher-ups.
Even though in the match the day before they won a landslide victory by changing some schemes that gave Mane wings and Muller as a striker but obviously this is still not the best form in my opinion because Muller is good but his best position is not there so they need a pure striker.

Chelsea might have an insider agent that could make this transfer happened despite the long term contract.

There is some information circulating right now but it looks like this will continue to provide a sensation until the transfer window opens.
At the moment he still hasn't spoken much in these rumours and some of Nkunku's closest people have said that at the moment there is still no agreement whatsoever about him and Chelsea or any club.
Nkunku himself has a release clause of 60 million depending on who dares now because at the moment there are several clubs and of course Manchester United and Chelsea are the frontrunners.

A 2-year contract has been offered to Argentine star Leo Messi by Paris Saint-Germain. There is an option to extend the contract for an additional year, with a salary of €30 million net per year. For now, he needs to take it as he has somehow adapted to Paris. Despite my dislike of Messi being at PSG and the disrespect shown to him by Barcelona, I still don't want him to return to the club. Despite Barcelona's faults, Messi has to go back to the team that made him who he is today and now they need him.

Messi is such a wonderful and a lucky player. He is so lucky to have such amount of money in his contract even at his age not even a year contract but two years contract with an option for extension. Messi has completely adapted to PSG team so there is no need to have a double mind accepting the juicy offer. What I don't understand is when you said that Messi not going back to the club that made him even when they need him most. Does Barcelona actually need Messi that badly ? I think Barcelona is good without Messi
