It looks like FC Bayern is not longer interested in signing Joao Felix who is currently playing for Atletico Madrid and has a market value of €50m.

Bayern are no longer interested in João Félix, contrary to recent reports in Spain. The Portuguese forward was an option for Bayern last summer. Salihamidžić had contact with Atlético, but the Spanish club rejected it. Félix is no longer a topic at Säbener Straße [@kerry_hau]

Too bad, I could have imagined him at FC Bayern pretty well tbh. He could have covered the striker position in the long term and would certainly have been a great addition to the squad. Especially after the transfer of Robert Lewandowski to FC Barcelona last summer. IMHO, Bayern definitely needs a new striker in the mid to long term.

However, the Bayern bosses are probably currently focusing on a possible transfer of Moukoko from Borussia Dortmund. He would also be a perfect fit for FC Bayern.

Following Spain's shock defeat to Morocco in the last 16 of the World Cup, Luis Enrique has resigned as the national team coach. The decision was reached after an internal meeting. As soon as possible, Luis Enrique wants to return to club football. I knew they would sack him, so I was not surprised. Nevertheless, it didn't take long for this decision to be made. In fact, Spain hasn't really changed its style of play in more than a decade, so I'm not solely blaming him. It seems that he cannot control Spain's lack of real strikers either, something he cannot do anything about. Spain's new head coach is Luis de la Fuente.

~snip~ Spain's new head coach is Luis de la Fuente.

Luis De La Fuente is a 52-year-old replacement manager with a wealth of experience. After the old coach was dismissed, it didn't take long for him to find a new coach and Luis De La Fuente will officially start serving on December 12, 2022.
The first task that must be carried out by Luis De La Fuente is to bring Spain to qualify for the upcoming Euro 2024. Luis De La Fuente is no stranger to Spain, he is the coach of the U-21 Spanish national team. and his achievements as coach of the Spanish national team for the age category are quite good. He was able to win the U-19 Euro in 2015, and the U-21 Euro in 2019, and won a silver medal at the 2020 Olympics.
Currently, Luis De La Fuente will begin to focus on training the main Spanish national team and making Spanish players better prepared for the next match.

Santos is one of the most underrated coaches of our time (or the last decade). And yesterday his plan worked great. I think it was not to change Ronaldo at the end, but to do the opposite, release him after the first half, and start the game at a high pace with high pressure. Who knew that the pressure would be so successful and that Switzerland would not be ready for high speeds. As a result, Ronaldo was released into the phase of the game when it was actually completed and Portugal played to keep the score. I think in the game with Morocco he will be in the first team.

CR7 has a bad attitude towards the others which leads him to be sanctioned in a way or another. There was some tensions between him and the staff but it was resolved tho. I am not sure if he will be picked to play vs Morocco since the beginning but I am pretty sure that he will not play full-time.

I wonder where did you find this out? If you read the yellow press (90% of all), you can find out that Ronaldo is the devil in the flesh and we need the second coming of Christ to get rid of him  In fact, most of the players who directly played with him speak of him in a strictly positive way. I think he will play with Morocco from the start and will be replaced at 70-80 minutes when the game is already done.

It seems that the media can't make even 1 minute not to be news for them so everything related to Ronaldo always makes headlines for them.

That was why Ronaldo called out Rooney and Gary Neville in his recent interview with Piers Morgan, the criticism of the Portuguese superstar is sometimes over the top and unncessary, players make mistakes and do things wrongly sometimes, it is normal, but the moment Ronaldo puts a foot wrong anywhere, the media all rise up wanting to tarnish his image and demoralize him, i think enough is enough of all that, right now i do not even believe most of the reports that's made about him, because i consider many of them to be false.

Having said that, the latest news about Ronaldo is that he wanted to leave Portugal's camp when he discovered he was starting from the bench against Switzerland, but the Portuguese FA have come for the media outlet that covered that news, stating that every bit of it is false, and i believe them, it isn't possible that Ronaldo would threaten to boycott the WC just because he started one game from the bench, this is the same way they have been spreading transfer rumors about him, he hasn't made any decision yet, and we'd find out Ronaldo's next club after the WC, and not before it ends.

I already know now that the media only takes advantage of Ronaldo's mistakes to make headlines because this is one way to increase their ratings, where there is bad news about Ronaldo made by the media, it will make headlines all over the world, so it's true that the media now only seeks from the profits made are exaggerated, while Ronaldo has not made any mistakes, including the news of wanting to leave Portugal.

In fact, ball observers said that Ronaldo was too big, so the media needed him to report bad news, so the news would rise, whereas if you think about it further about Ronaldo having retired, the media will be lonely because there is no more Ronaldo news about the mistakes he made create media.

I don't know where he was getting such news. I just know that even ronaldo has said that if the team was very solid at this moment. It needs a hard effort to break it. Ronaldo itself is fully believe with portugal's team despite some rumours about he was  sulked with portugal's team. I think that ronaldo will have a very big chance to place since the first minute even until the end of game. I can't deny he may dislike with how fernando santos treated him during the last match against switzerland. I just only hope will be playing full time against morocco

Cody Gakpo is a fantastic player and his performance so far for the Netherlands in the World Cup has been nothing short of brilliant. I do not think that his price will skyrocket even if they end winning the tournament. This is because, his contract expires soon and there is already a clause in his contract that he is supposed to move for forty to forty-five million Euros. If not for this clause, we all know that Cody Gakpo is worth hundred million euros.

this is actually what I regret from MU,, why did they choose anthony and valued him almost 100 million euros instead of choosing Gakpo. Gakpo still really hopes for a new offer that is made by MU, besides that as long as MU wants Gakpo, I'm sure PSV won't want to lose a good opportunity from that offer, maybe they will force MU to buy Gakpo for more than 45 million euros.

World Cup Qatar 2022 has been a great stage for Cody Gakpo. His performance with the Dutch national team looked very good. He is still very young and he has the potential to get even better, so it's very reasonable if many big teams are interested in signing him. Besides Gakpo, I think Goncalo Ramos from Benfica will also be wanted by big teams because he had a very impressive performance when he played against Switzerland.

ramos made history, he became one of the hat-trick printers from Portugal besides cristiano ronaldo and that certainly made his name soar but he is still young, reportedly benfica is targeting ramos' value to touch 45 million euros. I think the England league clubs are talkative enough with players who have performed extraordinarily in the world cup.

He isn't that young, he's 31 years of age and has definitely go pass his peaks. I feel so sad for him, since his departure from Chelsea, he has just been meant with one disaster or another. I guess he (Eden Hazard) voluntary retiring is because he doesn't think he'll be call up again and his footballing career is over after his contract at Real Madrid ends. I think he should return to Chelsea and he'll get everything back on track. Him leaving a club that was built around him to a club that he'll just be an ordinary players was the worst career decision of his playing time.

He better not make retiring from international football his second worst decision without achieving anything with the national team. There's more tournament to be played that Belgium can do something about, in the next 2-4 years and if all the players in the national side are fit, they are a deadly opponent to play against.

agree with you, if we investigate, that the average age of Belgian players has not touched 36++ years, if hazard is a little patient for the next 4 years, then he will be 35 years old to return to defend Belgium in the world cup. I still remember Belgium's extraordinary performance at the 2018 world cup and was very surprised by their performance at this year's world cup. What Belgium needs is a good coach who has a good strategy and is able to take advantage of the star players in the Belgian squad.

I am surprised Barcelona have not concluded their transfer dealings from last summer and are looking to bring in some more players this winter. Bringing in more signings will only mean we will also see more departures too. It seems Xavi isn't satisfied with the level of performance of the team and wants to strengthen his side. The intriguing one is their interest in Martinelli, I can bet Arsenal will not sell anytime soon, they would have to sort other alternatives.

Strange thoughts returned from Xavi even though they already had players who were very good in attack.
I personally feel that rather than them looking for a new striker they better focus on defense and for strikers there Xavi would be better off maximizing the performance of Ferran Torres and Ansu fati now.
They are two good youngsters and this has to be maximized rather than being preoccupied with increasing the budget for strikers.

As it stands now every information about Ronaldo's transfer is just a rumour and should be regarded as false information. This is because many information has been viral on the social media about Ronaldo for how many months now. This is what the journalist do in order to keep their business alive. even Ronaldo as of now does not know where his next destination will be. I think he is more focused on the World Cup, immediately after the World Cup Ronaldo will have a clue on where his next destination will be.

Can yes can no, I think they have a strong network to ensure the legitimacy of a news they will release. in particular, Fabrizo Romano who has a reputation as an A1 football journalist when it comes to player transfers. for example, Ronaldo, who is currently focusing more on his attention on this world cup championship, doesn't mean he doesn't know the current developments related to his future career. at least, Ronaldo's agent "Mendes" who worked behind the scenario regarding contractual matters related to Ronaldo.

whether it's true or not, as far as the news I've read there hasn't been a single statement that came out of Ronaldo or his agent agreeing to a contract agreement with an Arab club. on the contrary, Fabrizo Romano also said that Ronaldo is currently more focused on the world cup. after that, he will only think about his future. so, let's just wait.

When did Jaoa Felix become a natural attacking player, like I mean, is he no longer a winger ? Jaoa Felix can not fill up that role left by Robert Lewandoski.

I was honestly thinking they're currently now switching plans to make Harry Kane the number one signature immediately the window resumes mMMH ?

As far as I know, what I think Bayern Munich needs is a complete Striker and Felix is a winger, I have also read they Christian Pulisic in exchange for Kingsley Coman, for me that will ne a very good deal and the intensity with the attack will be sharp.
Currently Striker's are difficult to get, else they will make plans to also get Lisandro Martinez from Inter Milan.

The German newspaper SportBILD is reporting that FC Bayern really wants to keep Jamal Musiala at the club. Despite his long contract until 2026, Bayern bosses are interested in extending his contract.

Bayern want to keep Jamal Musiala in the long term and make him the identification figure of the club. Despite a contract until 2026, the bosses don't want to take any risks and are already planning talks for a further extension with a pay rise.
Hasan Salihamidžić to @SPORTBILD: "Of course, we told Jamal's mother Carolin and his management before the World Cup that we're very happy with Jamal and we let them know that we want to sit down with them after the tournament to talk about Jamal's further future at FC Bayern"

Source: https://twitter.com/iMiaSanMia/status/1600265859569946625

I can imagine half the football world wanting to sign Musiala after this World Cup. By far the best German player, IMHO. His market value has already reached €100m, making him the most valuable German player. It's pretty crazy that he's only 19.

This is actually a normal thing to keep the young star players longer in the club. Recently we have found some star players like Jamal Musiala, Fede Valverde and so on. And their clubs are trying to keep them in the club for longer because they are a real asset for them in the long run.

Bayern will for sure try to keep Jamal Musiala with them because he has played exceptionally well for the German team in this world cup, also not to mention he has also played well in the German league last season. So, although he has his contract until 2026, they are trying to extend his contract more.

Agree with this because when we talk about Barcelona we know that their current attack line is filled with players who are actually quite feared.
Lewandowski, Dembelle, Raphinha, Ansu and Ferran are clearly players whose individual skills are above average so rather than thinking about strikers anymore, they should focus on the defense now if they have any money to spare.
At the moment they have also lost Pique and it is not impossible that Alba is also preparing to leave now. It needs some regeneration for them in terms of defense even though there are already some but at the moment I think it's still a bit lacking.

[Pokapoka124]

I would like to point out a detail about a possible Endrick transfer to Real Madrid.

Real Madrid aren't going to be able to sign him until he turns 18. Because there is such rule in his country. Frankly speaking, I find this rule pretty meaningless. Because Endrick can improve his game much faster if he joins a team like Real Madrid which have excellent youth setup for young talents to improve themselves. Real Madrid will have to wait for two more years to be able to complete this deal. As long as they reach a verbal agreement with the player it would still be enough for them for now I assume.

Real madrid seem to have firm interest in the Palmeiras wonder kid this season. Endrick is the name that has been mentioned and trending since the international break and been valued at 70m with age 16 is some worth of gamble and risk in today's football. With Benzema's age and fitness level deteriorating Madrid are so much in need of a suitable replacement for the team and if they can get Endrick he will be part of the plan for the future.

Yeah not a proper striker but he is a good dribbler but still far away from natural striker. About Kane to Bayern , I am sure Kane gonna stay at Spurs as long as there is Conte. Possible if Conte leaves then maybe he can move on to some other club but right now he believes in Conte a lot.

I can imagine half the football world wanting to sign Musiala after this World Cup. By far the best German player, IMHO. His market value has already reached €100m, making him the most valuable German player. It's pretty crazy that he's only 19.

I am not surprised that he is getting so much attention lately. Musiala is gonna extend with Bayern for now but lot of clubs will be after him when his contract is about to end in future. Some may even hold talks with the player beforehand, just a verbal one.

Bellingham is also another name who is getting too much interest. Madrid and Liverpool are the clubs confirmed but Liverpool are leading the race. Can't wait to see him in PL if happens.

[CLS63]

There are such rumours these days. Aston Villa are looking for being very active in this transfer window. Abraham and Felix are already in their target list. Only their market values are already getting near 100 million euros. Roma and Atletico Madrid both wouldn't demand an amount less than their market values I assume.

Both of these players haven't been very productive until this moment in this season. But they are quality players for sure. Abraham is already familiar with the EPL so he wouldn't have any problem with adaptation. I don't know about Felix. He might not want to join an average team instead of a bigger one. He is still a talented youngster who deserves to play in the Champions League.

Not only Aston Villa, but other European clubs are also interested in Felix, including Chelsea and Manchester United, but it is not certain whether there is interest in Felix and Abraham to move to Aston Villa, while Felix prefers to play at the highest level, namely the Champions League.
But there is a possibility that Abraham could join Aston Villa but with Felix it is difficult to determine the Portuguese player is indeed of quality I saw them play in the World Cup quite well too, this is only a rumor but after the world cup will see the decision.

The intriguing one is their interest in Martinelli, I can bet Arsenal will not sell anytime soon, they would have to sort other alternatives.

It doesn't make any sense to buy new striker since Barcelona still has a lot good strikers. Lewandowski and Dembele has a stable performance because they're seniors, but even though Torres, Ansu Fati and Raphinha still young, they can focus to develop their skills and they might become the best strikers after next few years. Currently Jesus in injured, this will make Arsenal think twice before sell to other clubs.

I would say that Arsenal were careless if they let Martinelli go. And conversely I agree maybe Barcelona don't need an attacking player, because they have quite a few players at the moment. Xavi Hernandez's ambition to bring in new players is indeed very high, but he should also be aware of Barcelona's current financial situation. Don't let what he's doing now become a problem one day that Barcelona will experience.

I don't blame Arsenal if they lose Martinelli, because players sometimes are hard to convince when renewing contract. And clubs like Barcelona are hard to turn down. I still think they need a winger. If you look at Barcelona their wingers always prefer to play from the right wing. The only player that plays from there is Ansu Fati who is always injured. And with Lewa almost looking to leave possible next season then it is a right move for Barca.

On their transfer issues it is still ridiculous how they sign players and still say there having financial issues. I just think laliga officials are turning a blind eye to there financial dealings

[dbc23]

Eric Ten Hag and Xavi race for Martin Zubmendi's it is reported the Real Sociedad star has sparked interest from everywhere. Ten Hag is not willing to let go as the don't mind spending the next transfer window battling it out. Remember last summer  when the both club spent almost the whole summer trying to negotiate on Frankie de Jong and despite the two clubs having a good agreement on a fee it failed to materialise.

It is also reported Zubmendi has a lengthy contract with Sociedad which will last till 2027 therefore the chance of either club talking and convincing Sociedad for the release and if any one succeeds in signing Zubmendi the will have to pay north of £50m.

Real Sociedad president Jokin Aperribay has claimed that the player is keen on remaining in San Sebastian. He said: "[Zubimendi] has had many opportunities to leave, but he wants to stay at Real and is a fundamental pillar."


"If the player wants to leave, I am not very much in favour of him staying," he added.

Zubmendi might say good bye to Sociedad in the coming transfer window but he hasn't made his intentions know to which club he might prefer but Hag is eager to have him in his team.

[emrecemsan]

Southgate might still continue to do his job even if England are eliminated by France in this round of the World Cup. There are some news like he is wanted by The Football Association to stay until EURO 2024 at least. But I wonder what he is thinking about this now. Of course he would like to focused on their France match at the moment. Even if they don't get past France this is still not a bad run for them actually. Because they are facing one of the biggest contenders of the title already in the quarter finals.

But the last time England became the champions in the World Cup was in 1966. The supporters are believing in them to make it this time as they have a great momentum and a squad full of talented footballers. I think Southgate won't leave the team unless they find a better alternative.

[cygan]

it's a mega deal that highlights the potential of brazilian striker Endrick!!!
real madrid will pay €60 million plus taxes which will see the transfer grow to €72m to brazilian club palmeiras. the player and real madrid have already agreed personal terms. once concluded, the transfer will become the most expensive u18 transfer in history. Endrick is expected to join the spanish team in the summer of 2024 after his 18th birthday.
