There is some news about David Alaba leaving Real Madrid and moving back to Bayern Munich.
The fans of Bayern Munich are expecting to see David Alaba return to Bayern Munich and play for this team because David Alaba had many good memories in this team and Alaba earned many achievements in Bundesliga with Bayern Munich.
But he recently said he is not even thinking about leaving Real Madrid.

Of course, he can leave Real Madrid because every player leaves the team one day. Real let outstanding players such as Sergio Ramos and CR7 leave, despite their services. Alaba may also leave the team, as they even sent players who had established a strong bond with the club. Bayern would be the best option for him.

Arsenal are pursuing the signing of Aston Villa super player Douglas Luiz,and according to report,he is one of the main target Arteta wants to acquire before the window slams shut by January.It is indeed a nice business if Arsenal can make this one materialise because Arsenal's holding midfielder,Thomas Partey hasn't been consistent at all this season,and because of that,the mind of getting someone who can pair with Declan Rice in that midfield is ideal,and the perfect person who can replace Partey is Douglas Luiz who has been doing exceptionally well at Villa.I really can't wait for this deal to materialise,because his presence in the Arsenal dressing room will bring more spirit to the team.

Douglas Luiz has been linked to Arsenal last summer but Arsenal have decided to withdraw to gets him because they want to focusing to gets Declan Rice and now after Thomas Partey got injured and Jorginho performance is still not stable Arsenal will attempts to gets Douglas Luiz this winter and at Aston Villa Douglas Luiz has been showing significant progress and his performance was quite better compared to last year Douglas Luiz even can able to defend Brazil national team again
The price of Douglas Luiz currently increase especially he has signing new contract with Aston Villa until 2026 besides that i am sure Aston Villa won't let him to leave easily because he is important player for Aston Villa and the rumour is if Arsenal really serious want to gets him they have to spend at least 55 millions or could be more

Bayern Munich are ready to extend Joshua Kimmich's contract. The 28-year-old is out of contract in 2025. It seems that Bayern believe in Kimmich's performance until Bayern have started discussions for a new contract. But the funny thing is, Joshua Kimmich apparently does not have an agent. Joshua Kimmich immediately discussed with Bayern Munich about extending his contract.

At the beginning of last season, it was rumored that Joshua Kimmich would leave Bayern Munich and join one of the big clubs in Laliga, but that did not happen, and considering his current role in the team, there is very little chance that Bayern Munich will let go of this player.
It's quite interesting that he doesn't have an agent because currently, agents have quite an important role in a player's career because they have a role in negotiating and securing the player's contract. Maybe Kimmich doesn't feel he needs it because he wants to stay at this club and feels he can handle all the negotiation matters for a player. himself or he just hasn't found the right agent yet.

Arsenal football club is still following the same process they'll used the last they approached him and they failed, the player was opened to move out of Villa only that Arsenal did not make an official bid early before the transfer deadline.

Arsenal has someone in place for Thomas Partey only that they need a player to come in since there is enough speculation about  the exit if the player 
Injuries has lead to his poor season and Arsenal aims high, now he is one of the players that becomes a limitation to that. Leaving is wise.

I love Joshua Kimmich's style. He has a game that makes Bayern very comfortable in the midfield. He is also young at 28 years old and has many years ahead of him. Considering that he will go to La Liga, either Barcelona or Real Madrid will take him. Since Real Madrid has many players and alternatives in its midfield, Barcelona will probably want to transfer him. He must evaluate whether it is worth leaving Bayern Munich.

Not sure why that would be a great transfer for them at all. Not like he is a player that they need, they do not really need a player like him, he is not a winger, he is not a pure striker neither but he is a forward and they have players there plenty, they do not need it. Whoever is the director that decides on these transfers at United must be thinking if they could keep getting more and more attacking players, one day they will be good and ignores that they do need a great defender.

I mean it's obvious that their defense sucks big time, they do score, but then they concede goals, their defense needs to get better, they do not need Griezmann they need a defender, and I mean like urgently this winter break if they can, and yet they ignore that and keep looking for attackers.

I don't sure how accurate with this information about Atletico Madrid Antonie Griezmann will move to Manchester United, last few hours I checked on some media reported about fake news with Antonie Griezmann will reach agreement deal moving to United and he will extend with Atletico Madrid until his contract over on Jun 30, 2026.

Personally, Manchester United really need new center forward striker and Antonie Griezmann can play well on many position as second striker, winger or center forward. But I don't sure will easily adapt well with Premier League atmosphere who know more hard and need higher level physical. Antonie Griezmann on the top performance right now in La Liga from 12 matches he scored 8 goals and made 1 assists, in Champion League he scored 4 goals of 4 matches.

I really can't wait to see Greizman's performance in the EPL, the forward is very much versatile and can replace anyone as long as it's in the attacking line, he's doing well in La Liga which is far less competitive than the EPL, we hope on the accuracy of the news of his move to Manchester United.

 He'll be of advantage to them as the team right now needs a player or his caliber to decipher through the defense lines of the opponents, although the EPL teams won't make it that easy for him as he'd need to put in extra mental and physical efforts to be able to combat their tackles, It'd definitely be fun watching him perform in the Premier League and I believe he's going to play well and do what he knows how to do best.

The Saudi Pro League has now ranked 2nd in the top 6 national leagues, with the highest total transfer costs for the summer of 2023. With a lot of money, the Saudi Pro League even had the ambition to bring in Kylian Mbappe, a player considered the best young talent in football today. Although he failed to convince Mbappe, they still try attracting famous young players to their tournament. The Saudi Pro League, from now on, will cause all kinds of real trouble. No one can sit still when clubs in Saudi Arabia still spend a lot of money on shopping, and you are helpless. The European Football Confederation and FIFA (world) need to act to protect European football. They must change transfer laws to be consistent and need financial fairness laws to apply to the Saudi Pro League.

I don't understand what you mean about "protect European football"
The football market is free, the players are free (within what their contracts allow), the teams are free... to negotiate what they want and with whoever they want.

For many years, European teams "ruined" smaller teams, always paying a lot of money to take young talents to Europe who stand out in their national clubs.
So, what are the Saudi Pro League clubs doing differently than the European ones?

I'm certainly also sad to see several European clubs being "dismantled", but I don't see anything illegal or immoral happening, it's just free market negotiation.
No one needs to be "protected".

As you know. To prevent tycoons from "pumping too much money" into football teams, The European Football Federation (UEFA) has decided to promulgate the Financial Fairness Law. With this law, football teams are not allowed to receive too much money from their owners and are not allowed to suffer too many losses. Football teams that violate the Financial Fair Play Law will be fined in some other forms, such as point deductions and spending limits. Specifically, recently, Everton violated financial fair play laws, and they received the heaviest penalty in Premier League history.
As for the Saudi Pro League clubs, they spend money without any regulations that can control them. With deep pockets, they can attract all the famous players to their tournament. What do you think European football will be like if that happens? That's why I want to impose financial fairness on Saudi Pro League clubs.

Manchester United keep making stupid move if this rumor went true, Griezmann is already old which mean they can't use Griezmann for long term prospect. What's the point to spend good amount of money when the guy can only play for 2-3 years? no one will interested with him anymore and Manchester United can't able to sell him.

If this rumor becomes something real, then it can be said that Manchester United did not learn from the mistakes they made in the past. Why don't they try to focus on young players at this time? I mean what they did with some transfers in reality did not make them better, so there is no harm when they do more programs for potential young players. Besides it will be good for their future, also who knows with the presence of many young players can restore their erratic performance. I know it's a risk, but there's nothing wrong with taking that risk.

I feel the performance of Manchester United is getting worse every season. Even when we see good performances from Manchester United in some games they had challenges to decrease the performance of this team and that's why I think that's better for Manchester United to not make any changes during winter. Griezmann was a good players years ago but now he is far from his good days and he can't be a long-term investment for Manchester United at all.

Man Utd are always buying former world class stars that are older, past their best and on huge wages.

It’s like they don’t learn from their mistakes. They really need a new transfer strategy, it’s been a decade of severe underperformance.

Consider it stupid and that's fine and correct. Antonio Griezmann has no plans of leaving Atletico Madrid this season as reported, no direct talks between the player and Manchester United likewise. Anyways, I do think that, If he agrees, they'll have to sell of Antonio Martial and loan out Facundo Pellistri.
I be reminiscing Robin Van Persie for Manchester United and how he won them the Premier League at age what? Anything can happen, if Erik Ten Hag wants the lad, he'll have a direct talk with him.

But you know what? You're completely correct, why not invest in a much younger player than to move for a player that may likely not adapt in thr club.

I think what people are actually angry about is that Manchester United has been making a lot of stupid moves in recent times. And them spending money for a player who is not at his prime and also getting old is definitely not going to be a good idea for Manchester United. I personally also do not think that he is going to go to Manchester United. But if he does, I don't think it is going to be the best idea. He can certainly look for other clubs. His performance is improving compared to the last few seasons. So maybe he will get a chance to go to a better club.

When Ancelotti's future was still unclear and his contract expired in the summer, a new name emerged as his replacement, namely Roberto De Zerbi. Even though Roberto De Zerbi has the potential to be a candidate for the next Real Madrid coach, it doesn't seem to be serious because at the moment he can't bring Brighton to peak performance and is starting to experience instability in consistency. Of course, Real Madrid also doesn't want to place a big responsibility on a coach who only trains well for one season and in the following season starts to lose his tactics. Apart from that, I think Xabi Alonso is still a strong candidate as Ancelotti's replacement if Ancelotti doesn't extend his contract in the summer.

€25m millions were nothing for manchester united. The only problem if MU has offered him 450k salary for a week which is amazing. I have heard that if al ittihad is also ready to trigger griezmann's clause release. The aspect that piques my curiosity is how this club will manage to secure the financial resources necessary to acquire a multitude of players simultaneously.

Manchester united was ready to trigger griezman's contract and joao neves from benfica. The club needs also to buy a new goal keeper since onana may be out for weeks or months due to the injury.
Altay Bayindir is not ready to perform as starting line up. Losing onana is another disaster for manchester united. I never understood the way of ten hag thinking to solve the problem. He was always making blunder.

Instead of addressing the existing issues that MU has, Ten Hag has a preference for introducing yet another problem.

It seems that Bayern believe in Kimmich's performance until Bayern have started discussions for a new contract. But the funny thing is, Joshua Kimmich apparently does not have an agent. Joshua Kimmich immediately discussed with Bayern Munich about extending his contract.

This site looks doubtful because it doesn't have any evidence of an official statement. But anyway, it would be good for Bayern Munich as well as Joshua Kimmich's because he has such a fantastic stream of play, and their game play really matches up with the Bayern Munich tactics. So Bayern Munich needs to place more emphasis on Joshua Kimmich's signing of a new contract than his departure from the club. Moreover, Joshua Kimmich's is still young and should play the best for Bayern Munich. It is true that big clubs like Barcelona and Real Madrid have more potential than other clubs for players to win big trophies as well as individual trophies. So I think that's why Joshua Kimmich wants to move towards Laliga. Besides that, Barcelona boss Xavi also wants him because he has nice play and very good quality to take a place in clubs with prominent player stats.

But are the transfers the problem or is the coach the problem? It is simple to just say that the transfers were all flops and didn't work out, but if the coach is the problem and has no plan how to integrate the new players into the team and how to give them a chance to prove themselves, transfers in any transfer period can become a problem. Whatever their plan is for Griezmann, it is a risky transfer for Griezmann as he knows how everything went with Sancho.

Antoine Griezmann to Manchester United, I've a feeling that deal will not take place because there's definitely alot of things that could go run, because Atletico Madrid needs the Frenchman, he's key player in the frontline and moving to English league will mean huge adaptation for Griezmann. Signing players that turn into flops at the end of the day is something that's concerning. We focused on the important aspects of the team, Erik Ten Hag ensure to sign more promising players this summer and he's currently scouting players that ought to be added to his team inother to improve the team's performance this season.

This is why I said that it can only be about money since Griezmann has everything he can wish for at Atletico Madrid. Simeone appreciates him so much, the fans also do and he is earning a lot of money and feels comfortable. He fits into the team and has his role as some sort of leader. They have great chances to make it into the next round of the Champions League and Griezmann can be a key part of the team in their Champions League journey. If he decides to leave the club and go to Manchester United, I don't know what's wrong with soccer professionals.

I'm certain Carlo Ancellotti would be leaving Real Madrid at the end of the season, it's just a matter of timing, he has indeed helped the club raise a lot of trophies and awards. For Roberto De Zebri, he's indeed a great coach with top tactics, even Pep Guardiola gives him high regards with how he builds from the back with Brighton last season.
He did well last season and helped them qualify for the Europa League Competition for the very first time and they was able to go above tenth position for the first time.

This season, he has been unable to handle the pressure that comes with both the Europa League and Premier League, I know he is a good coach when it comes to handling younger talents but how well can he shapes them tactically. I don't think that he will ne the perfect man to replace Carlo Ancellotti.

Joshua Kimmich has been with Bayern Munich since 2015. That means almost 9 years he was with Bayern Munich. During his time at Bayern he always got a lot of minutes. In one season he always played more than 25 times. So it seems that keeping Joshua Kimmich is a good option. He has good performances, so keeping him is a good option. Because he is also young, he is currently in the best age condition.
