Another news is coming from chelsea now. We know that if reece james is now facing a new injury but he has been targeted by real madrid and bayern munchen. The possibility of losing him during the winter transfer season is something that Chelsea cannot afford and would be detrimental to the club.

According to a report by Defensa Central, Real Madrid are keen on having Reece James in their ranks. The Spanish giants are desperate to sign a new right-back next summer, and he is their priority target. But, they are not the only club interested in the 23-year-old, with Bayern Munich willing to go out for his services.

As far as i know that if chelsea was also interesting in signing valverde from real madrid. It's likely chelsea will try to do a swap process for him and valverde. I think that it's still understandable caused by chelsea needs someone like valverde but losing reece james is really painful for all of chelsea fans.
I hope that if chelsea will able to sign valvede without losing reece hames but this looked like impossible caused by i know that if chelsea is still in a difficult position.

I've come across the news before now and i think this deal doesn't look iikely to happen, due to the fact that James just became the captain of the club this season and is a very important player for the team, and even if Chelsea decide to cash in him, it's going to cause the preferred bidders a lot to get James out of Chelsea and I feel Madrid would be his preferred destination if he decides to leave Chelsea next summer.

 But talking about a swap deal between James and Valvede I don't think it's going to be possible, regarding how valuable Valvede is to Realmadrid and coach Ancelotti,  Realmadrid would prefer a direct deal with Chelsea for James, instead of a swap deal that would make them lose one of their most important player, i don't even think Valvede would fancy a move to Chelsea cause his loyalty is currently pledged to Realmadrid that's offered him alot in his career.

Sometimes we see how a player falls.
Jesse Lingard is a player who played for Manchester United and he started his create in the academy in Manchester United, he also played for the England national team.
Recently this palyer didn't have a good performance and he couldn't be stable at all.
Now Al Ettifaq said he can hire Lingard but they need to have him for a one-month test and then Gerrard will make the decision about him.

Some players are unlucky not to have a long-term career. They usually face a decline at a certain stage of their career. Many players have suffered such a premature drop in quality. I find it embarrassing to hear that a club wants to test a once world-class player for just one month. Which means he will be asked to leave if he fails the test. Players need to make proper use of thier earnings because their performance can drop at any time.

Another news is coming from chelsea now. We know that if reece james is now facing a new injury but he has been targeted by real madrid and bayern munchen. The possibility of losing him during the winter transfer season is something that Chelsea cannot afford and would be detrimental to the club.

Signing Reece James from Chelsea will be extremely difficult because he is more than an ordinary player.  He has been in Chelsea for a long time and he is a defender who has scored many goals and given many assists. His case is also complicated because he is the new captain and his contract runs till 2028. He has suffered from many injuries recently which has reduced his consistency but I don't think Real Madrid or Bayern Munich will easily sign the English defender.

I was very surprised to hear this rumor that David De Gea is considering retiring immediately if no top European team wants to recruit him. I think it is quite regrettable if a goalkeeper who can still perform well at European competition level has to retire early at an age that is actually quite a long time ago for a goalkeeper to retire. Moreover, it is strange that with the current situation of several top European teams such as Chelsea or Bayern Munich, which have goalkeepers of inadequate quality, they should be able to get a good goalkeeper like David De Gea for free.

However, other things such as David De Gea's salary per season may be too expensive for them and that could be the reason why they don't want to sign him at such an old age. Do you think David De Gea will retire in the near future or do you have predictions about another team that will sign David De Gea?

I think this will only be temporary, in the future when there are offers from clubs he will play again, as a goalkeeper he is still of productive age, if he decides to retire then being the second goalkeeper at Manchester United is better because there are still opportunities to play when United's current main goalkeeper is not playing according to expectations.
There are rumors that the retired Mezut Osil will return to play in the Saudi Pro league, but the truth is not yet known, so there is still a chance for David deGea to return, I don't think that he should retire because he is one of the goalkeepers who is quite good at saving though sometimes he make mistakes, but all players make mistakes.

Several media say that PSG is currently trying to bring in Maignan from AC Milan. The rumor is, PSG will try to swap Donnarumma with Maignan. There is no additional value information for this swap yet. PSG already got Donnarumma for free, if Milan pays, or PSG gets Maignan without additional money, the one who loses is AC Milan. Because PSG get Donnarumma with free, but back to Milan, but Milan need to pay for him. Please don't be the next MU, when juventus get a lot of profit from Pogba 

Donnarumma to be swapped with Maignan?
It is known that Donnarumma went to PSG because he was ridiculed a lot in the past for not being loyal to AC Milan, how he came again may not be trusted and will lose mentally for Donnarumma.
The PSG club is like that when there is a rising player like Maignan The Ac Milan goalkeeper is immediately interested like there is no other talent for PSG. LOL
Some sources say that Milan does not want to exchange with his former goalkeeper first, but if PSG wants to buy then AC Milan can let him go but still Donnarumma must be eliminated first if he wants to get Maignan.

I think in terms of quality, it is going to be a decent trade. Donoma is a great goalkeeper. And I can also say the same about Maignan. It is true that PSG got him for free. But he is definitely a good goalkeeper. I know it might look like Milan is going to be the losing party in this trade, but I don't think it should be a big problem for anyone to pay for a player who is performing well. But of course, they cannot just spend money like there is no tomorrow. But at the same time, I do not think PSG is going to add anything to this trade.

Donnarumma performance was not quite up to PSG's expectations if we compared when he was still playing at AC Milan so that's why this rumour appears because PSG doesn't want to hold him anymore and why PSG want Maignan because before playing at Milan Maignan is from PSG academy so that's why PSG think if they swaped Donnarumma to Maignan is good transfer because just like i said before Maignan is already know the atmosphere of PSG team so he might be will not required long time to adapt but i think most likely this swap won't be happend because AC Milan doesn't interested to Donnarumma anymore and the most important why this transfer have potention to failed is Milan fans were feel dissapoint when Donnarumma decide moved to PSG so that's why the fans considers him as a traitor

Do you think David De Gea will retire in the near future or do you have predictions about another team that will sign David De Gea?

David de Gea is only 32 years old and he can continue to perform well for many more years but he still hasn't signed for any club. Onana, Manchester United's replacement for David de Gea, has been disappointing with his performance. I think the football gods have punished both sides. David de Gea's return to Manchester United could solve many problems. Even if he doesn't transfer to Manchester United, I hope he gets a chance to play for any club and continues to play football.

It is clear that 32-year-old David de Gea is still talented and experienced. His unsigned status bothers me. I expect him to be a fantastic goalie for years. Unknown events make me anxious. Even though Onana failed at Manchester United, De Gea's tenure there isn't finished. Going returning to Manchester United would provide the goalpost security and trust. I hope De Gea finds a team where he can showcase his skills and grow as a football fan, even if not United. Look past the current scenario and consider how long a player like De Gea will play and leave behind

Though it is not impossible in terms of the rules of football concerning transfer of players, I don't think David De Gea is gonna return back to Manchester United anytime soon just because Manchester United decides to re-sign him since his replacement Andre Onana isn't doing too well for the club.
For a goalkeeper of David De Gea's class to be told he's surplus to requirements which made him leave the club in the summer, it'll be a let down for him to return to the same club just because he couldn't find another club. I think the main reason why he's still not contracted to any club is because he's not gotten a good offer from a good European club not because he's not getting offers at all.

[mamesso]

To be honest, I also don't believe this rumor, but if De Gea continues to be without a club until the end of the season, it is not impossible that we will see him retire at his current age. The reason is that we know that De Gea is still very enthusiastic about playing football, but the absence of an offer means he has to rest at home without doing any activities. If there are rumors of an offer to return to Manchester United, I don't think De Gea will want to return because he will definitely be hurt by being dumped by the club. Indeed, in terms of salary it shouldn't be a problem for big teams to contract him, however they have good finances and there are no problems, but again I'm still confused as to why no top European team wants to sign him.

Retiring at the age of 32 is not the best decision for De Gea, he is still capable of playing at a high level, his reflexes are still very good and at his current age he is not considered old for a player who plays as a goalkeeper. De Gea must be patient until a suitable offer comes to him, he needs to maintain his physical fitness while being a player without a club.
I think De Gea's pride is greater than money, he will not accept an offer to return to Manchester United after the club treated him so badly. Currently there are no signs of elite European clubs taking an interest in him, but there will be clubs interested in using his services when one of their main goalkeepers has a long injury or is not performing optimally.

It is reported that De Gea wants to continue playing in Europe, because he has just had his wedding and wants to stay in Spain. I think it makes sense that the former Man United goalkeeper refused to join an SPL club, reportedly Al Hilal is interested in recruiting him. But I doubt the reports linking him back to Old Trafford, I don't think it will happen.

Real Betis, Bayern Munchen and Real Madrid have previously been linked with De Gea, but these rumors sank and were not realized until now. However, I predict that De Gea will not choose to retire early. SPL is very interesting as a port for his professional career, before deciding to retire.

There is talk in the press about the possibility of De Gea signing for Real Betis. But nothing is certain. If he wanted to go to the Arab League, he would have done it already. He probably won't go to the Arab League. I think Erik ten Hag should have kept him. I think Erik ten Hag made a wrong decision in terms of planning. By the way, if I remember correctly, De Gea was signed under the Ferguson era. He was Manchester United goalkeeper for many years. He could have continued to be Manchester United goalkeeper for a few more seasons. I think it was one of Erik ten Hag's wrong decisions to let him out of the team.

It's a wierd one but I think if they send out Donnarumma, PSG will be the one on the losing end. In my opinion, not everything matters in terms of money. Donnarumma is a young player with huge potential and it's very tough to get around with such talents especially in goalkeeper position these days. He is starting for PSG and have been performing well, so I don't see any reason for PSG to swap him for Maignan to Ac Milan. Would love to see some tough reports before I start believing in this ...too much to lose for PSG.

De Gea is 5 years younger than Neuer (Bayern continue to make plans for Neuer even at this age) and I see no reason why he can retire from football at that age. We must not forget about the difference between field players and goalkeepers - if for a field player 32 is a serious age after which a gradual decline begins, then for goalkeepers this is shifted approximately by 4 years. It seems to me that De Gea will find a club for himself (even if he has to reduce his salary expectations); in extreme cases, he can go to Saudi Arabia or MLS. He 100% will not return to United, firstly because the situation with Onana, even if it gets worse, they won’t remove him anytime soon.

I don't really understand him. What is the point of finishing his career if he is not offered a contract by some big club? If nobody wants you, why not go and make money in the SPL? The level of football there is growing like on yeast, maybe in a year he won't feel the difference between European football and Saudi Arabian football... When you're on the verge of ending your career, and at that age, principles have to take a back seat

Its best opportunity for professional football player get highest payment salary with Saudi Pro League and that opportunity will come once only in their life. I don't thinknhave problem when top European more priority with SPL than stay on European team. During have many top player arrived there will make SPL become more compete league and with top European player level. But have some bad viewed when top European player more priority for playing with SPL team and claimed they have make money first than their career. Interested to see if David De Gea move to SPL team and there have two top European goal keeper after Edouard Mendy have joining early with Al Ahli.

I don't think Bayern or Real Madrid will be interested on buying De Gea next season because i see De Gea as already lose form since is contract will expired with Manchester united and buy onana, real Madrid as already get kepa for loans and is trying is best for the team if Courtois come back now i think he will continue keeping for real Madrid, am very sure de gea will retire in European, Manchester united can't bring de gea back because onana is already performing well and he have confidant very well i like how is performing in the Epl, he make mistake in the champions league group stage against Bayern Munich but any keeper can have the same mistake.

Do you think David De Gea will retire in the near future or do you have predictions about another team that will sign David De Gea?

Until now De Gea is still unemployed, this indicates that not many big teams are seriously interested in him. Even though this goalkeeper is an extraordinary goalkeeper, for some reason no one was serious about recruiting him in the last summer transfer window. I also read news from several newspapers, reportedly De Gea might choose to hang up his boots if he doesn't get an attractive offer.

The Guardian's report revealed that the 32 year old goalkeeper considers himself still at the peak of his performance and still wants to compete for prestigious titles in Europe. It was also stated that De Gea wants a new club that can guarantee the opportunity to play as the main goalkeeper. However, if his wish does not come true, then De Gea could end his professional career. Recently, there have been rumors linking David De Gea with Real Betis. However, until now the rumors seem to have just evaporated.

IMO, there are several factors that cause big clubs to be reluctant to contact him even though he is a free agent. Apart from his high salary, he is also a typical classic goalkeeper who doesn't play much of a role in helping attacks starting from him. Maybe that's also why Bayern doesn't really intend to propose to him. Apart from that, they are still waiting for Neuer to recover from his injury. Well, we can't predict with certainty. But what is certain is that we will find out later regarding the decision of one of Manchester United's legendary goalkeepers.

I've heard these rumors and if AC Milan accepted a swap for this player without getting an additional fee it would be a ridiculous swap.
In my opinion, Maignan and Donnarumma are no different in terms of performance at each club, but seeing Maignan contribution is superior to Donnarumma because I don't need to explain, we all know how Donnarumma was with PSG and we can see the comparison.
But I also heard rumors that AC Milan refused the exchange if there was no additional fee because Milan management would not easily believe it like in case of Pogba at Juventus last time which made Manchester United fans disappointed and I don't expect anything long as Maignan still makes a good contribution at Milan. I hope Milan rejected it.

But he is definitely a good goalkeeper. I know it might look like Milan is going to be the losing party in this trade, but I don't think it should be a big problem for anyone to pay for a player who is performing well. But of course, they cannot just spend money like there is no tomorrow. But at the same time, I do not think PSG is going to add anything to this trade.

Wouldn't that trade be a bit useless in that case? I mean they are very close in talent level, I wouldn't be able to say which one is better, and if they just trade them straight up with no money involved, that would not make sense for either team. Donnaruma leaving Milan wasn't all that nice neither so it doesn't make sense for him to get back neither, it would be useless trade for him as well.

I guess if they want to do it they will, but I do not see a point on this trade at all. Why did PSG think they do not like their goalkeeper suddenly? Did he do something that pissed off the manager or something? Because outside of that, I do not see why he would not be considered good enough to stay at the team currently.

Arsenal among three Premier League clubs monitoring £50 million PSG star Ousmane Dembele:
Paris Saint-Germain recently signed Ousmane Dembele in the summer transfer window, but the club is monitoring his progress in the French capital.
The 26-year-old striker was signed by PSG for £50 million from Barcelona in the summer but failed to find a footing with the French champions. Moreover, PSG signed former Bebfica FC center forward Goncalo Ramos for £63 million in the summer, so it seems that PSG wants to sell Osman Dembele because their strike position is better with two strikers, Ramos and Mbappe. Osman Dembele is also an extra player in the attack position. Besides that, Osman Dembele has had a poor performance in recent games at PSG after exiting from Barcelona in the summer transfer window. In PSG, Osman Dembele has made 5 appearances with zero goals and no assists.

Dembele is a very good player but if I were to be a coach I will be very skeptical of signing him because I believe he is a delicate player. I mean he can be very useful this week but next week he might not perform optimally.
In my opinion, I believe that PSG needs Dembele more than Arsenal need him. Marteneli, Jesus and Saka is good for Arsenal as Dembele may not find his place in the squad.
Considering again will be the availability of Mbappe after this season which is highly in doubt. So consider the age of Dembele he is a good deal for PSG

He 100% will not return to United, firstly because the situation with Onana, even if it gets worse, they won’t remove him anytime soon.

Manchester United abandoned their first choice and signed André Onana from Inter Milan, that decision was unwise because the new goalkeeper doesn't fill in the vacant position, conceding goals and causing irrelevant mistakes that leads to goals. David De Gea enjoyed his moments at Old Trafford, received his accolades. He's currently without a club due to the high earning salary, we just hope he's able to make things right in his career and return to what he does best. In due time, the spaniard will make his choice if he would return or continue his adventure to win more significant titles.
