Talking about Hakim Ziyech, who was linked with Newcastle, seems to make the hunt for one player even hotter, the latest rumors say that Everton are interested in signing Hakim Ziyech from Chelsea. According to my speculation, this happened because several Everton players who will be sold in the current transfer market such as Anthony Gordon and specifically Amadou Onana were rumored to be going to Chelsea, it is likely that so that Chelsea can more easily get Amadou Onana from Everton they are offering a fee option plus one player Hakim Ziyech as condition. What do you think? Will this become a reality before the transfer market closes in a few days?

It looks like the competition between these two teams will never end in the transfer market. Arsenal and Chelsea are both interested in signing one of the young players, Amadou Onana from Everton. He plays as a midfielder and of course his services will be very good in securing the midfield. Which of these two teams will succeed in signing the contract from Amadou Onana?

if this is real then, expect Chelsea to clinch it f on Arsenal as usual.  Chelsea new owner is doing everything to get the club back to it Glory days. Whatsoever players Potter Graham wants he buy for him. If Potter Graham is really in need of Amaduo  Obama then Arsenal will lose out.

21 year old young football player.  It has promising potential.  He is a quality player who will be very good for both Arsenal and Chelsea.  Whoever wins this race, I think Everton will be the most profitable team.  He's taller than a midfielder, which will make him more effective at air balls.  It's been a very active transfer season for Chelsea.

Returning to Barcelona is very possible for Messi after his contract expires with PSG, Messi can help his partner (Xavi) to repeat his success with Barcelona. At the age of 35, he can spend time with a club that has made his name big, Barcelona will welcome Messi arrival, especially since some time ago Xavi had said he really wanted Messi to be in his squad.
Messi relationship with Xavi could be one of the reasons for Messi to return to Barcelona, Xavi has also asked Messi directly to help him rebuild Barcelona.

Many fans also want this to happen, Messi to come back home and play with Lewi, but PSG still believes that Messi's future lies at PSG.
Messi contract extension talks at PSG are underway, and I think PSG is the best choice.
With Paris Saint-Germain, Messi has the opportunity to win the Ballon d'Or and win the Champions League.

I personally don’t see Messi returning anytime soon back to his former club, Barcelona.
He has played his time over there and now looking ahead to better and a more competitive football. PSG, would not agree to see Messi go back to Barcelona after paying so much for him in the first place. I’m pretty sure they’ve got plans for his stay in the club and are probably looking to extend his contract at the club.

I don’t see Messi ever coming back to play for Barcelona. I don’t even think it wise to do so.

No, I think Messi can still return to Barcelona to play for his childhood club before retiring there as the club legend. The last time I read that he is yet to renew his contract with PSG and considering the his form and performance lately and looking at all he has see in the team due to the power given to Mbappe, I think he may return to continue playing soon to Barcelona to help them better their performance. PSG as his current team can't keep him if he does not want to play for them again so it is still the decision of the star player to make if he wanna play again for Barcelona or extend his contract with PSG.

@Iroh Messi should not return to Barcelona, because there’s a good chance that he may be benched often and at PSG he’s yet running the show hence in my personal opinion he should not come back and play for Barcelona. Lastly while I don’t see him returning as a player, but I would love to see him return as a coach and I believe that he will achieve great success whenever he decides to become a head coach at Barcelona.

It amazes me seeing how often Chelsea have to jump into transfer deals Arsenal have been making efforts to pull through and hijack it, somehow it gives me a sense that Chelsea management admires how successful Arsenal have been regarding transfers and whenever they read about any player Arsenal wants to sign they immediately want to have him. Amadou Onana is a young player showing good prospects for the future and will be a good addition to Arsenal but I don't think Arsenal will be ready to go to bidding war with Chelsea for him.

[laurenB7742]

Conor Gallagher has considering to leave Chelsea this winter because Potter didn't trust him to played regularly although he was transfered from Crystal Palace this summer but he hasn't feel comfortable stayed at Chelsea but it doesn't take long time for him to gets new clubs because reported Newcastle and his former club Crystal Palace also interested want to bought him even possibly Newcastle will win the race because this club is very serious want to gets him and this winter Chelsea was very active to buy players i think if Gallagher stayed at Chelsea he cannot gets more minutes to play and moved to other clubs could be wise decision for him

Chelsea have made quite a number of additions which will cause surplus in some positions like in the midfield position and expecting to do an overhaul to cut short the numbers. If Conor Gallagher is listed as surplus. Crystal Palace have an edge over Newcastle in this race because he has been part of the Patrick Viera's project and ideas and is already acquainted with the club so it will be easier to fill in quickly than starting over at Newcastle.

But it is obviously going to be better to go to Newcastle United right now compared to Crystal Palace, isn't it?

Because Newcastle United is playing really well right now. And I think the future of Newcastle United is going to be very bright. It is true that he will have to start over at Newcastle United. But starting over at the team which is going to perform better compared to a team that he is comfortable going to which is not performing the best is always going to be preferable in my opinion. But in the end, I think the player is going to be the decider of it.

It's hard to find a midfielder as talented and talented as Onana, who has great defensive and tackling skills. In an effort to convince Amadou Onana to switch to Chelsea, Chelsea got in touch with his entourage. Also, Arsenal has made contact with Everton about signing Amadou Onana. Everton needs some money to improve their current position, so Onana has become a playing card. Although Onana prefers to stay at Everton, he is focused on the season's remaining matches.

Everton want 60 million pounds for Anthony Gordon and this has affected the interested teams in a negative way as it seems.

Newcastle and Chelsea both seem that they have ended their interest in him. Newcastle are thinking of Ziyech as an alternative target to Gordon. Maybe Gordon was a much younger player and he could have improved his game more at a better playing team. However Ziyech also might be useful for Newcastle as he is an experienced player. I know that he hasn't been too effective at Chelsea but maybe things would be better at a different team for him.

Leo Messi have accomplished everything he solely desire in football during his prime time so renewing his contract with the Parisians wouldn't be a difficult task, he's not tenderly competitive for any trophy but his ultimate target is the champions league which himself and his entire teammates are working together to lift this season. The GOAT going back to barça to do what actually, considering his age and hooking up with the high competition in laliga wouldn't be a good start for the Argentine international. PSG will talk about renewal of contract in the coming days and Leo Messi agent is responding positive to the talks and sooner, contract will enter key stages. He's probably one of the key players in the team and Christophe Galtier would be very happy if Messi stays.

Even if Leo wants to leave Psg, it shouldn't relate to Mbappe given too much powers of will or decisions. I don't think that those are the problems of Leo. If it were to be Neymar, I'll agree with you that he is wrestling power with Mbappe, but Leo does not seem to be interested.
At the age of Leo what is good for him is a league like the French league where there won't be too much pressure on him in the midfield. He needs not to be stressed again in matches.

Regarding the rumor that the mega star from PSG has returned to being a slightly interesting conversation, it won't be long before it's been reported that Leo Messi's contract will end soon, and Leo Messi's next plan will be brought back to Barcelona, some people also hope that Leo Messi will go to the Premier League, besides that Another rumor is that Chelsea will offer this mega star a long-term contract offer, here Chelsea has a great chance to sign him compared to Barcelona, it looks like Leo Messi will return to his childhood club which made his name big in football.

The performance of the mega star Leo Messi is very good, I think many European clubs want this player, after all, Leo Messi's contract at PSG will be discussed in the near future, maybe a decision that makes Christophe Galtier happy that Leo Messi will remain at PSG and extended his contract.
So now let's wait for the news about Messi's contract and what will be the decision of the superstar.

whatever the conditions at PSG, if Messi doesn't want to extend his contract with PSG, I think of course there is strong consideration from him.
problems with teammates or if indeed he wants to return to Barca, of course, that must be considered properly. especially with Barca's finances, of course, there would be better talks to reach a deal.

Chelsea has win the race with Manchester United to gets Lyon player Malo Gusto and it say Gusto had personal agreement with Chelsea and in the near future his agent will went to London to talking about the further steps for his transfer and Gusto position on Lyon is right back and after Reece James got injured and have to rested for more than two months Chelsea indeed required more players on this position and with the arrival of Gusto he probably can covered James position and with his current age 20 years old Gusto already playing regularly with Lyon and Manchester United and Chelsea seeing his potention but this time he is more likely to choose Chelsea as his next club

Hot rumors are now again involving star players from PSG. Leonel's future with the French League giants, PSG, was a big question, especially since the megastar's contract was about to run out. Messi's contact will end in June 2023, while La Blaugrana is reportedly planning to take him home. there has been much speculation linking Messi with big clubs, even Premier League clubs.

Meanwhile, journalist Gerard Romeno reports a different matter stating that Messi will not stay at Paris-Saint-Germain. if the reports are true, there has been speculation as to whether Barcelona and Lionel Messi will get back together, as many football fans have questioned.
On the other hand, Marca journalist Marc Vila reports that Messi will not return to Camp Nou.
To be honest, I'm not sure about the current rumors around Messi. so, let's just wait and see what Messi will do for his future.

But will Barca really break the wage bill while trying to have it below the FFP rules at the same time.  Is that really what Xavi wants?  I doubt it.  And all these Messi rumors stemmed from his and Neymar having some problems with their other team mates at PSG.  

With Xavi still in the process of rebuilding the club, I don't think he'll do it even if all the bones in his body says do it.  He has to be smart about it.

Anyway, what are the biggest and smartest acquisitions in the winter transfer window this time around?

I haven't seen a new Dm joining the squad, not even a good Cm that matches to pair, Even with the number that has joined Chelsea, I haven't seen a significant change that is convincing enough to even start thinking of selling out the old ones, yet we are making fans are making noise and listing out players to be sold out. Let's give these new players more playing time to see if there is a need to sell out the old ones. Moreover,  we need many players to compete in the different leagues coming next season

Chelsea has win the race with Manchester United to gets Lyon player Malo Gusto and it say Gusto had personal agreement with Chelsea and in the near future his agent will went to London to talking about the further steps for his transfer and Gusto position on Lyon is right back and after Reece James got injured and have to rested for more than two months Chelsea indeed required more players on this position and with the arrival of Gusto he probably can covered James position and with his current age 20 years old Gusto already playing regularly with Lyon and Manchester United and Chelsea seeing his potention but this time he is more likely to choose Chelsea as his next club

They've reached verbal agreements with the player already, just as you've said agent will be in London to clarify everything immediately to get the entire desk running.
Ever since the injured Recce James the right wing hasn't been functional as it used to be. Azpilicueta has come of age and it high time.he leaves the club for younger bloods to come in and play.
He has won it all with Jose Mourinho, Antonio Conte, Sarri and lastly Thomas Tuchel he'll be given one of the best send off as a Chelsea legend.

With Aaron Wan Bissaka present, Manchester United have lessen talks of bringing in a fresh right full back, all they want to complete is contract extension for Diego Dalot.

Chelsea affected heavily with series cases of injuries blasting their keyplayers, therefore making them to use the bench which they don't even have quality players with good replacement. Todd boehly don't want such mistakes to happen again as he's aiming at bringing hungered players who are eager to play games in Stamford bridge. Only in this transfer window, they have signed players who are tender and some would joined the club in the nearest future while some will join in June. Graham Potter should make out good plans for the team and includes his squad with better replacement for each keyplayer. Blues very active in the transfer window with signing youngsters who have bright future ahead of them. Chelsea have high probability of bringing Malo Gusto to the team.

[Woodie]

No, I think Messi can still return to Barcelona to play for his childhood club before retiring there as the club legend.

Players returning to their so called childhood clubs is a bad idea because all those beautiful memories he left could be erased and we saw what happened with Cristiano. Maybe that Saudi Arabia deal is in the pipeline after all because his playing days are almost over and what better way of ending it by getting a fat pay check.

Chelsea has win the race with Manchester United to gets Lyon player Malo Gusto and it say Gusto had personal agreement

Looks like this move has not yet happened based on my Google search.. It's all about these tabloids getting more traffic using fake news!
By the way, I don't think united was ever in this race looking at the position that Gusto plays has several other players fighting for this position, but had it been a striker maybe United would have been interested.

I wonder, can Lionel Messi refuse a contract extension from PSG with the option that Paris Saint-Germain have, I mean PSG are quite famous for spending money, they don't hesitate to spend money with fantastic value just to make the player play for Paris Saint-Germain?

What is a player like Lionel Messi looking for at his age, apart from money?

[rdluffy]

I know some people here are afraid of how much Chelsea is spending on new players, however I bring good news, at least from one player.
We have already commented here about Andrey Santos who was signed for 18 million pounds, and even I thought the price was high.
But check out how he is playing with the under-20 team of Brazil.



Check the last goal against Argentina, it was a beautiful one: https://twitter.com/olheirosvideos/status/1617691269303767042
3 games, 3 goals in U20 South American Championships

I think Chelsea fans are happy to see the potential of this player, he can be a starter in a few weeks / months

Messi became in the public spotlight after news broke out that he did not want to extend his contract at PSG, a number of possibilities began to be linked as a reason for not wanting to extend the contract. According to the news I read on the Marca website written by Spanish journalist Gerard Romero, one of the reasons Messi was reluctant to extend his contract with PSG was because the club treated Mbappe very special.
Galtier decision to place Mbappe as vice captain of the team sparked Messi disappointment as the club did not take into account his existence and the contribution he had made to the club. Moreover, he is the captain of the Argentina national team, which has just won the World Cup trophy.
