Sunday's gossip:

Manchester City are considering a bid for Paris St-Germain right-back Achraf Hakimi, 24, and "will not hesitate" to pay a big fee for the Morocco international. Manchester City is getting stronger for the new season and another top footballer is leaving PSG.
Manchester City have agreed personal terms with RB Leipzig's Croatia centre-back Josko Gvardiol, 21. According to all available information, Guardiol will become the most expensive defensive footballer in history and join another Croatian in the team, Kovacic.
Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea will hold meetings with the agents of Napoli's Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen, 24, next week over a potential move to the Premier League. Everyone wants Osimhen, but what will he decide in the end? 
Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel has asked the club to bid for Barcelona's Netherlands midfielder Frenkie de Jong, 26, after pulling out of the race to sign England's Declan Rice, 24, from West Ham. Good job for Bayern, but will Barcelona agree?

If Achraf Hakimi succeeds to Manchester City, then in the hands of Pep Guardiola he will become a reliable player. Since becoming the main Moroccan squad, Achraf Hakimi name has continued to be in the spotlight and will have a fairly high selling value. Considering that PSG is currently rocked by various problems by leaving several players and if Achraf Hakimi is finally brought in by Manchester City, PSG will automatically not have a solid back line defense. I agree with Achraf Hakimi playing in the Premier League because there he can do more.

This might be an initial reaction because we know that one of Manchester City's mainstay defenders Walker has been linked with several rumors to leave Manchester City and of course this will be a reference for them so they are eager to bring Hakimi from PSG.
He has good enough potential to replace Walker, on the other hand he also has the vision to play and sometimes he is also always able to defend and attack in a match.
Apart from that, even though Walker didn't leave in the end, his contract and age are no longer young, so it is possible for Manchester City to seek regeneration earlier and Hakimi can do that.

I don't think for de Jong he would not be interested in going to Bayern Munich at the moment, as several other clubs have offered, the answer remains the same which is that he really wants to stay at Barcelona and be part of the priority squad and is even willing to accept a reduction in salary. That means de Jong really loves Barcelona as his dream club.

For Bayern this indicates that they have given up on targeting Rice and are looking for new options and when I saw De Jong's name I wasn't really surprised because last season the rumors were still the same.
I don't really know the condition of Barcelona's arrears to De Jong now because if you look at the previous mirror he didn't want to leave because Barcelona still has arrears on de Jong's wages that haven't been paid but now I don't see any news about this.
On the other hand, De Jong's best friend is still at Bayern, so this could also be of added value now if Barcelona's arrears end and Bayern want to leave.
But as you said, this is unlikely because it looks like De Jong is back to being comfortable with his position at Barcelona at the moment.

according to information from german sportmagazine 'kicker', croatian international Josko Gvardiol has reached an agreement with manchester city on a long-term cooperation and has informed rb leipzig of his intention to transfer. however, the german dfb cup winners have not yet received an official offer for the 21-yo center back from rbl. leipzig are prepared to let JG go, but only in return for a transfer fee in the region of €100 million.

Romano has also reported the same. Manchester City and Josko Gvardiol has reached an agreement in personal terms after a week or so but as expected RB Leipzig wants 100m Euro for it. I think there is no surprise given how hot Gvardiol is going right now. I would say City will try to negotiate in coming days and I think with a fixed fee + add ons nearing to 100m Euro I think RB Leipzig are gonna allow Gvardiol transfer to City. It would really make City's defense line strong for next season and he is young as well so can serve City for long term and can win lot of trophies with City. I am sure Gvardiol gonna sign at least for 5-6 years at least for City when he signs as a new player in this transfer window.

It's no wonder that RB Leipzig is charging a price for one of its defenders. although to be honest, the price they charged for Josko Gvardiol was too high. I also read this news from several newspapers, including from Romano and TEAMTALK. Manchester City have agreed personal terms with the player Jugen Klopp wants to sign for Liverpool, according to Romano. both City and Liverpool, are in the market to deepen their defense during the summer transfer window.

City could lose centre-half Aymeric Laporte as he hopes to join a new club where he will have more playing time. meanwhile for Liverpool, a defensive overhaul is in sight as Virgil van Dijk and Joel Matip have reached the age of 30+. that means, The Red needs a younger centre-back. Therefore, Klopp really wants to bring in Josko Gvardiol from RB Leipzig as the successor to Virgil van Dijk. sadly, City have come a long way closer to bringing him to the Etihad Sadium. I think City will try to negotiate with the Club to smoothen their plans. if this is the case, it is very likely that Josko Gvardiol will play in the Premier League next season. with status, as the most expensive defender to bring him to england.

Chelsea is happy in selling Lukaky for 40 mil.

If they will sell him they are going for Vlahovic, they have already spoken with the player.

Only Arab teams can give $ 40 million for the transfer of Lukaku. However, we know that Lukaku wants to stay in Europe. Chelsea had really bad transfer planning in the past. When I look at the players they are trying to send from the team, my mind stops. If they manage to turn the transfer frenzy of the Arab teams into an opportunity, they can make up for some of the mistakes they made in the past. Otherwise, it seems as if they will have to grapple with first the sporting failures and then the financial problems. It's sad to see the once great Chelsea in this state now.

I'll want to see a switch to Real Madrid over Manchester City for Hakimi, Real Madrid needs a young and experience player for the right fullback position. But, everyone wants to work with Pep Guardiola, this might still turn out interesting.
Josko Gvardiol has been linked with top European side's ever since the Fifa World Cup Competition kicked off, glad to see he took a great decision to work with Pep Guardiola, great player honestly.

I'll say it even a million times, the final destination for Victor Oshime would be Chelsea, the case of not being involved in any of them European Competition is just the flaw to his move this summer, once Chelsea returns, it'll be a done deal between Osimhen, Napoli and Chelsea.   Barcelona are financially unstable, it's either they take it or leave, bit since the player is loyal to Barcelona, I don't think it'll get finalized.

I think that leipzig will consider manchester city's offer. City is seriously wanna get gvardiol from leipzig as soon as possible. The decision will be on leipzig as personal agreements already reached. If leipzig will agree with manchester city's offer and the transfer can be done as soon as possible.

City, who also won the FA Cup and Champions League to complete a stunning Treble last season, are determined to secure the signature of RB Leipzig defender Gvardiol, who the German club value at around €100m (£85m/$109m). The European champions have reportedly tabled a new bid worth £77m plus add-ons after reaching a verbal agreement with the player according to Sky Sports journalist Philipp Hinze.

Goal has reported it

I think city's bid alreayd quite high and it's almost touching what is demanding by leipzig at this moment. I think that leipzig must consider such offer seriously.
Gvardio is only a few steps away before he will be city's player.
It's a big dream for him to join in the club that recently won treble winners.

Every time the transfer market opens there are always surprises that occur and cannot be separated from hot issues regarding player transfers. After Messi left PSG and then chose to join Inter Miami, now unfavorable news has returned from PSG.
Mbappe contract with PSG expire at the end of next season, PSG still wants to continue working with Mbappe for the next few seasons by giving him a new contract, but the player rejected the offer. Mbappe rejection could cost PSG a loss, because he can go to another club for free next season.

PSG has only one choice in this situation, they must immediately sell Mbappe to get income from his release clause. This situation is very profitable for Real Madrid, who have been interested in Mbappe for a long time, Real Madrid, who want to form a more ferocious front line since Benzema moved to the Arab League it will soon materialize if Mbappe transfer agreement occurs with PSG.
There is no other choice for PSG but to give up Mbappe departure to Real Madrid rather than lose him next season for free.

I like Manchester city approach in this transfer market. They are direct and straight to the point.

• Released Gundogan, and then Took 25M for Kovavic, added add ons and got him with ease.
• If Hakimi joins City, he would replace the agey Kyle Walker
• Sent an 100M offer to West Ham for Rice.
• Now another 80+M offer to Liezpig to sign Josko Gvardiol; WITH Laporte reportedly leaving Manchester after been unfavorred to start; Pep and MCFC are already planning for the future.

This is how a football club should run haha.

As far as i know Lucas Hernandez has already told the officials of Bayern Munich, that he wants to leave the Club and they made a gentlemens agreement that he can leave Bayern if Paris is paying around 50 Million € of transfer fee for him. If PSG is not willing to pay that amount, then Hernandez agreed to stay at Bayern without making any problems and then is even possible that he prolongs his contract in Munich. It is much more likely though in my opinion that PSG is paying the asked amount.

Hernandez's own contract will end soon and indeed the midfielder really wants to join PSG, there have even been reports that Hernandez had threatened Bayern Munich by not extending his contract, this means that it is very likely that Munich will lose him for free. The only way Bayern Munich can take is to sell him now if he doesn't want to suffer too many losses next season. On the other hand, PSG do plan to sign him, and Bayern Munich set a price of 50 million euros for his sale. I still haven't heard whether PSG can meet the price set by Bayern Munich because so far there has been no news regarding an offer from PSG. But apart from that, I think with the economic strength of Les Parisiens, it is unlikely that the league giants will have any trouble meeting Bayern Munich's price demands.

Angel Di Maria is returning to Benfica. He will play in Portugal again after 13 years. There was a lot of news about him, I wanted him to come to Beşiktaş, but the work on this issue was weak. We know that Di Maria can still play high-level football. He can win the championship in Portugal. How successful they will be in Europe depends a bit on the luck of the draw. Benfica has always been one of the strong teams. The contract will be for 1 year, but can be extended depending on performance. I think Benfica made the right transfer move.

After Juventus decided not to renew Angel Di Maria's contract, there were several clubs who were rumored to want to sign him, but none of them actually completed an agreement with the player. Benfica have finalized the deal and Angel Di Maria will play for them next season and I believe he can still make a contribution to the team, even if he is not the same age and ability as he used to be.

The prestige of Angel Di Maria seems to have disappeared and not many talk about it because maybe his performance is not as good as before and he is not young anymore. Benfica is a suitable place for Di Maria because after all this club has its own history and they also often represent the Portuguese league in the Champions League.

For Bayern this indicates that they have given up on targeting Rice and are looking for new options and when I saw De Jong's name I wasn't really surprised because last season the rumors were still the same.
I don't really know the condition of Barcelona's arrears to De Jong now because if you look at the previous mirror he didn't want to leave because Barcelona still has arrears on de Jong's wages that haven't been paid but now I don't see any news about this.
On the other hand, De Jong's best friend is still at Bayern, so this could also be of added value now if Barcelona's arrears end and Bayern want to leave.
But as you said, this is unlikely because it looks like De Jong is back to being comfortable with his position at Barcelona at the moment.

Bayern will not be signing Frenkie De Jong. Frenkie won't be leaving Barcelona this season. Worst of all for 50 million. He wasn't sold for 80 million, so how can they sell him for less when his value has not dropped?
The reason De Jong did not leave Barcelona last summer was not because of his wages that have not been paid. He did want to leave because he wants to remain in Barcelona. He enjoys living and playing in Barcelona.

Barcelona wanted to sell De Joong last season because they needed the money and because they wanted to try and sign Bernado Silva, but this season it's different. Barcelona has lost Busquets and in their squad right now only De Jong can play as a DM, plus De Jong was very good last season.

Now maybe a third player who has played for FC Barcelona in the past will join Inter Miami. So if that doesnt bring more fans to the stadium and a successful season, it would be a surprise. It is about Jordi Alba, his contract expires this month and he still has no new club. With 34 years he would play football for a few more years and it looks like he will do that in America with Messi and Busquets. So if all three play together, Inter Miami would have this three in the defense, midfield and a new goalgetter.

[Bobrox]

After selling some player, Chelsea success reach agreement for signing Nicolas Jackson from Villareal with €37m fee, but has unique with contract duration because Chelsea give him for long term contract until eight years later and Nicolas Jackson will stay Stamford Bridge until 203. Last season, Nicolas Jackson has good performance with Villareal by scoring 12 goals and creating 4 assist in 26 matches played.

Usually, maximum contract duration some player until five years later but Chelsea looks try difference than other team by giving contract until eight years later. But is coherence with Nicolas Jackson still on the young age and his contract with Chelsea over when his age reach until 30 years old.

Messi, Busquets, and Jordi Alba these three quite close as friends. However, Jordi Alba is not sure where he'll end up next after his contract expires. I wouldn't be surprised if Jordi Alba ends up joining at Miami team. The reason for this is because when the three of them had dinner together, I'd assumed they were going to have an influence on each other and possibly end up at the same club.

I find it hard to comprehend the direction football is heading in when the team insists on keeping the defender as the priciest in the game. It's becoming increasingly unclear if Manchester City is recouping their investments through their extravagant spending. Personally, I don't believe Van Dijk should be sold, considering his statistics aren't all that bad. Silva has demonstrated that even at the age of 30, a defender can remain influential through maintaining good fitness levels.

It would be a good combination if Jordy Alba decided to move to Inter Miami now only Messi and Busquets have officially joined but it is possible that the former Barcelona trio will return to play together in MLS and of course Inter Miami will have a bigger power if there are them.
They have worked quite well together during their time at Barcelona. I am sure that in the future this club will go even further in terms of performance and now Inter Miami is on the bottom for the western region standings.

City "imperceptibly" continue to vacuum the market regardless of costs. A very convenient strategy - once having bought a lot of all, they continue to buy, while those who for some reason did not fit (or simply could not play in the City) they sell and on average they find themselves in the + - balance of purchases and sales.
De Jong, if nothing has changed, is the highest paid player in Barcelona, so on the one hand it will be a loss for Barcelona, but on the other hand a great relief for the club's budget.

I wouldn't be surprised if Jordi Alba ends up joining at Miami team. The reason for this is because when the three of them had dinner together, I'd assumed they were going to have an influence on each other and possibly end up at the same club.

Watching Leo Messi, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba reunited with at Inter Miami, wonderful memories never fades. Leo Messi is a significant impact in the club, and every award he received today is a result of his hard work; he deserves everything. One of the great moves Leo Messi turned down was a move to Saudi Arabia; he made it plain that it's probably not about the money, but more about playing football at his peak in a different league. The indisputable GOAT will adapt, like he always does, and Inter Miami is open to accept his potential qualities.

Mbappe's case become even more complicated as per some news that were coming from PSG. Even it's also involving mbappe's mother as reported by marca
https://www.marca.com/en/football/real-madrid/2023/06/23/6495b025ca4741095b8b45ce.html



It seems like that's become the main reason why there are rumors if PSG wants 250m for him. I don't even think PSG wanna give him that big amount of money.
Mbappe is now threatening PSG. PSG is in a big lose if PSG was not selling mbappe right now caused by he will be leaving from the club with a free agent but at the same time PSG must have paid very big compensation for him.

That makes me feel curious about what's agreements between mbappe and PSG in the past.

THIS is what I was expecting to hear. Mbappe will want that transfer fee, why would he go for a lot of money when he can take it. At this point we all know that Mbappe (or people around him) knows that he can be worth a lot of money, and I mean a ton of money, he nearly got like half a billion dollars for his contract, which is a huge amount of money but he knew he could get it.

So now, he knows that either PSG pays him the 150 million, if not then he can ask Real to wait, and not pay his transfer fee, and instead pay him signing fee with the same amount of money. That dude could be worth 50-60 million a year, do that for 5 years and we are talking about 300 million dollars, with a 100-200 million signing bonus at least, maybe more, we are talking about another half a billion dollars. That means between 2 deals, he has made close to a billion dollars.

Obviously not really because taxes and cuts to manager and agent etc etc, so what he got was much lesser, but at least he got the biggest amount I have seen in European football with this method.

Jordi Alba actually still has a contract with Barcelona until 2024. However, both parties have agreed to end the deal prematurely due to the financial problems experienced by the Catalan club.

After his success with Barcelona now he has to look for new challenges, but in my opinion it is better for Alba to follow in the footsteps of Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets to Inter Miami even though he is also still in demand by other top European teams.

If Alba decides to go to Miami, it will definitely benefit both parties. For Miami, the presence of the former Barcelona trio will clearly raise the prestige of the team and of course they will have an extraordinary impact on the club. I firmly believe that the speculation about Alba's future will end and that he will follow in the footsteps of Messi and Busquets.

Now maybe a third player who has played for FC Barcelona in the past will join Inter Miami. So if that doesnt bring more fans to the stadium and a successful season, it would be a surprise.

The arrival of Lionel Messi to Inter Miami will certainly benefit the club because they will benefit from selling club jerseys and other benefits they will find it easy to find new sponsors because after all Lionel Messi is still a considerable attraction from these two profits.

It is about Jordi Alba, his contract expires this month and he still has no new club. With 34 years he would play football for a few more years and it looks like he will do that in America with Messi and Busquets. So if all three play together, Inter Miami would have this three in the defense, midfield and a new goalgetter.

It looks like the trend for Barcelona players will be towards American football and if Jordi Alba reaches an agreement and moves to Inter Miami then he will reunite with his friends Lionel Messi and Busquets, but so far I have not seen any good news and whether Jordi Alba will become an Inter player Miami for next season.
