The January transfer window will soon open and Manchester City have found their next target player and he is River Plate's striker, Claudio Echeverri. As previously circulated, rumors about this player were on the table for three teams, apart from Manchester City, there were Chelsea and Barcelona. But overall, if a player is young like him then the right choice is to join Manchester City. Apart from having a good career, he can also gain experience including winning titles and a commensurate salary.

If Claudio Echeverri goes to Chelsea or Barcelona, I think his career will be destroyed in an instant and his name will disappear. The release clause is currently priced at 25 million euros and that is an easy matter for Manchester City. Currently Manchester City is trying to reach an agreement and we'll just have to wait and see whether he will land at Manchester City or not.

I have to disagree with you there because, in Barcelona, I believe he will develop the most. Barcelona has a very good academy system and young player develop their younger players. Pedri, Gavi are some of the best young prospects in the world right now. As for Chelsea, I would agree with you.

On the other hand, Manchester City has a history of destroying a few player’s careers. We can see how Kalvin Phillips is doing. He was bought into the team for doing nothing. It almost seems as if City bought them just to not play against them. If someone had asked me where should a young player full of potential join? My answer would be Barcelona any day.

After getting approval from De Laurentiis the owner of Napoli it seems another effective player is going to leave Napoli soon.
Elif Elmas is the player of Napoli who had an effective role in this team during the time when Spalletti was working there and he had good performance in this team but recently and after Spalletti left the team they didn't use this player a lot and that is why they decided to sell this player to Leipzig.
In this transfer, Napoli will learn around 25 million euros and De Laurentiis about this transfer said they are selling a gem.

Manchester United record in ranking is shameful whether in the goals scored thus the attack line or the defence line which is taking more goals than scoring.
I do not want to criticise the strategy adopted by Eric Ten Hag but it is definitely not working especially in the attack line, it is dysfunctional and just horrible.

Marcus Rashford needs to be dropped, no player is bigger than the club. If Erik Ten Hag continually make use of these players, they'll definitely sack him. They played very well but couldn't score goals yesterday.

Antony was brought in for a big fee but haven't done enough for Manchester United this season, I understand he had some level of challenges before the season kicked off. I'm disappointed in a way because I expected some levels of upgrades from last season.

Whenever you recruit a player, you never know when he will worth the money spent on him or not. It is like Hazard or Bale in his latest years in Real Madrid. No one is above the club indeed, it is whether you play good or leave your place to someone better and this includes the coach..

Let's see what happens with the announcement of Jim Radcliffe and all of his partnership if they'll be backing Erik Ten Hag and whatever crap his got to show. He remains a good coach, but I don't know of he doesn't go back home to watch and check all of these errors done by these players

Maybe Jadon Sancho would've done a good job in this Manchester United declining attacking state. Bit he's yet to lay down and apologize to Erik Ten Hag. These two are stubborn for real.
Playing footbal ain't one easy task I know, but these players are being payed huge fee's to be playing this bullshit.

According to the information I have, it seems like Manchester United is considering swapping Antony for Takefusa Kubo, who's been performing exceptionally well for Real Sociedad. Ten Hag appears to want to turn Antony into a "good guy" to calm the frustration of MU fans, who have recently shown clear dissatisfaction with Antony. MU is determined to sign winger Takefusa Kubo from Sociedad in January. At least seven times this season, Coach Ten Hag has personally traveled to Spain to observe the Japanese star.
Despite his small stature, Kubo, with Japanese roots, possesses a solid foundation of personal technical skills. Kubo can play as a right winger or an attacking midfielder. MU aims to strengthen their attacking power on the right wing with Kubo's services and might succeed if they make an offer close to £43 million.

Good speculation, maybe Kubo could be a solution. But I think Antony is a good player who doesn't have the support of quality players. So he seems to be working alone and the quality is poor. Both players have good dribbling. But indeed I see that Kubo with Sociedad can always get past opposing players. Even though his body is small, he looks like Messi. He could be the new Park Ji Sung for Man United.

Currently, Bellingham's market value is 180 million Euros according to Transfarmarkt. To be honest, I believe Jude is performing better than Halaand or Mbappe this season.

Mbappe and Halaand are 25 and 23 years old respectively. But Jude Bellingham is 20 years old. He is shining with Real Madrid right now, and he is currently Real Madrid's biggest key player. Another thing is he is the top scorer in La Liga right now with 13 goals. He has been contributing to Uefa Champions League as well.

You know, from last season, this season's performance of Real Madrid has increased a lot. So we have to thank Bellingham for that.

So we can say that there are every reason to say that Bellingham's market price is justified. But to be honest I thought Mbappe's market price would be lower than 200 million Euros.

The most surprising and enjoyable part is that he's not a forward, but plays a different position. Moreover, I think we should draw the final conclusions when he is paired with a good attacking player who will finish attacks, then Bellingham will open up fully. Most likely that attacking player will be Mbappe.

But isn't this one of the most interesting questions that we need to await the answer for? How will Bellingham be doing when in front of him there is a genuine striker fulfilling that offensive role to the maximum and Bellingham has less space to freely move in the center? I Have been thinking about this and where Bellingham would be at right now if he had Mbappe or Haaland in front of him?

There is no answer to that question yet, but the wait is likely to be short, depending on when Mbappe moves to Real Madrid, winter or summer. There are rumours that Mbappe has already signed some agreements with Real, but when exactly he will move is not clear

After receiving news regarding Man United planning to recruit a striker in January and some of the names on the list were quite strange. Maybe because the budget given is still limited, I don't think this recruitment will have much of an impact as long as the coach is Erik Ten Hag. I mean even if you recruit famous players, it is very difficult to get out of the position of Man United players who don't work together on the field. Based on the last match alone, it shows the lowest quality of Man United game.  Bruno Fernandes looks tired of seeing Rashford who is lazy about chasing the ball, Antony who usually doesn't play much  of a role in his position, so it's no wonder there are plans to swap Antony with Kubo, a Real Sociedad player and former Madrid player,  who is definitely more useful in helping sharper attacks.

Eighteen goals for a big club like Manchester United is a big disgrace. Playing Bruno Fernandez off his best position must be affecting him badly, he needs that freedom,I don't understand how he plays Scott MC Tominay a defensive midfielder ahead of Bruno Fernandez! Man that shit funny ASF fr!

Marcus Rashford needs to be dropped, no player is bigger than the club. If Erik Ten Hag continually make use of these players, they'll definitely sack him. They played very well but couldn't score goals yesterday.

Antony was brought in for a big fee but haven't done enough for Manchester United this season, I understand he had some level of challenges before the season kicked off. I'm disappointed in a way because I expected some levels of upgrades from last season.

I think the solution for Manchester United is to sack Erik Ten Hag. He isn't able to do anything this season. If he is sacked now, the new manager would get the chance to rebuild the team as they have nothing to achieve this season. They are out of the Champions League, they are in the 8th position right now and they have nothing to win this season from the leagues anymore.

They are constantly losing one match after another. I don't even know how Ten Hag got the manager of the month last month. If the new manager comes now, they can achieve better things in the next season. Erik Ten hag doesn't seem to be able to solve his problem right now which is very humiliating for a club as big as Manchester United.

I wonder who is the initiator of these potential transfers. In theory, it shouldn’t be Ten Hag, since everyone has already seen what “brilliant” transfers he makes and what their average effectiveness is. Plus, he has already spent 400 million on transfers in a season and a half and it hardly makes sense to give him the opportunity to throw money at everyone, given the fact that new (and old lol) players degrade under him (what Casemiro has become).

But taking into account the fact that he still hasn’t been fired (I wonder what he has to do to make this happen), this is not the initiative of a new potential coach or the club’s management (who generally don’t care about anything except the endless story with the sale of United). Maybe these news are just rumors and have nothing behind them.

He could be the new Park Ji Sung for Man United.

Hopefully his magic doesn't fade when he joins Man United, reportedly Kubo is being projected as a replacement for Sancho in the future. the dowry is quite large, and the proposed salary certainly makes Kubo tempted to move, But for Sociedad they must immediately look for new players who are suitable to be able to compete in La Liga and UCL.

If Ten Hag is hunting for more players, it is implied that he is still very much supported by the club top brass, where United inconsistency so far has not shaken his position as head coach. several new players who had previously been recruited did not contribute optimally, hopefully Kubo can become a new hope when he is officially brought in.

I think United also need to streamline the squad by releasing several players who have minimal contribution. previously, Martial is reportedly going to be released by The Red Devils and he will not be given a new contract extension.

Let's say you're correct and Manchester United show's Erik Ten Hag the exit letter, can you recommend who would be the suitable replacements for Erik Ten Hag that would have such a great first season and continue the same the following season. Because as far as I can remember, Not even Pep Guardiola had a great first season in the Premier League. And don't you dare call the name Zidane because he cannot manage youngins developing them into machines just like Xabi Alonso is doing.

I'd want to say Hansi Flick but not even his tactics been working for him in the National Team ( Germany ). Mikel Arteta, Jurgen Klopp all faced hits like this but they wasn't sacked.
I have the feels that he's having internal affairs with Marcus Rashford for him to be having these poor games and he still comes out to defend him in public. Just like Jose Mourinho said, "Manchester United have those dead woods that cannot offer nothing for the club" they should all leave!!!!

Eljif Elmas was transferred to Napoli together with Kim Min-jae after his successful performance in Fenerbahçe. Kim Min-jae transferred to Bayern Munich after his successful performance in Napoli. If Eljif Elmas transfers to the German league, he can improve his football there. I see the German league as a more suitable league for Eljif Elmas.

Also, there are reports in the press that Napoli want to sign Fenerbahçe's successful right-back Ferdi Kadıoğlu. After Eljif Elmas and Kim Min-jae, Ferdi Kadıoğlu will most probably play for Napoli.

Erik Ten Hag saved Manchester United from the bad situation they had in the last season and helped them to even get the Champions League ticket while the situation wasn't good in Manchester United at all.
I think the news is correct about Erik Ten Hag and this coach will not see the 2024 in Manchester United anymore.

You have mentioned a few important aspects here when it comes to letting ten Hag go now. Zidane would never go to Manchester United. He isn't a developer. He wants the best team right off the bat and compete for the Champions League title. If he knows he can't do it with the team that's there, he won't go there, so he is out. Flick, good analysis and I agree, I think his performance with national team from Germany has revealed some issues about his approach as well although I have to say that the national team isn't the same as it was in 2014 in terms of the player material. Guardiola would do better, I am quite sure about that, but he wouldn't go there as there really is no incentive for him to do that.

But just let the mess continue and wait? As much as I agree that finding a suitable replacement seems to be impossible, letting it continue is also not an option. They have some tough times to walk through.

He would only want to manage a club that has already made and we'll built team, a team like Manchester City would be handled successfully if Pep Guardiola leaves but managing Manchester United would be difficult for him.

Hansi Flick would go through all these processes Erik Ten Hag is also going through. I would not use his performance with his national team to judge him because I can remember how he won the Champions League if not the treble with Bayern Munich few years ago.

Pep Guardiola? He would never do that! It's like saying Pep Guardiola should leave Barcelona for Real Madrid. That's something you'll never happening. So, to Manchester United? Knock it off!!!

Hopefully his magic doesn't fade when he joins Man United, reportedly Kubo is being projected as a replacement for Sancho in the future. the dowry is quite large, and the proposed salary certainly makes Kubo tempted to move, But for Sociedad they must immediately look for new players who are suitable to be able to compete in La Liga and UCL.

I think United also need to streamline the squad by releasing several players who have minimal contribution. previously, Martial is reportedly going to be released by The Red Devils and he will not be given a new contract extension.

The fact that Erik ten Hag is actively involved in recruiting new players suggests strong support from the board that indicates confidence in his vision for the team. Real Sociedad losing a player of Kubo's caliber would indeed require immediate action in the transfer market to maintain competitiveness in La Liga and the UEFA Champions League that demands a well-balanced squad, and Sociedad will likely be proactive in finding players who can fill the void left by Kubo.

The fact that Erik ten Hag's position as head coach remains stable suggests continued support from the club's leadership. The recruitment of Kubo can be seen as a strategic move to inject fresh talent and creativity into the squad. While some recent signings may not have delivered as expected, there is optimism that Kubo could bring a new dimension to the team. Streamlining the squad by potentially releasing players is the need for efficiency and a focus on players who contribute optimally. This aligns with the ongoing efforts to build a competitive and cohesive squad.

But Real Madrid reaching out to very young players is nothing new and they go all in if they see the right potential. Jude Bellingham was one example when they paid such a high transfer fee and it paid off, but look at the deal they have made with 16 years old Endrick from Palmeiras for 60 million? I don't know what the exact transfer fee was, but as far as I remember it was a whopping record breaking amount for a player at that age. Real Madrid is not playing around when they see an opportunity and of course things can go wrong, like with Hazard. But that wasn't because they misjudged Hazard's potential, it was because Hazard began to be injured all the time and couldn't ever get back into his best shape.

Real Madrid is one of the big clubs that is very well known throughout the world and is very popular for its success in winning the Champions League trophy and this is the reason Real Madrid recruits players carefully and considers everything and of course in the long term and as far as I know the players that recruits by Real Madrid has never failed and can always have a successful career in Madrid and this has happened in the past when it comes to bringing in young players, but as you said, it is not a failure but just a player having a bad experience with an injury.
Bellingham is one of the young players who was successfully brought in with very good performance and to this day he has been able to make a career with his skill in scoring large numbers and the next player that Real Madrid will buy has not yet been confirmed because the club is still keeping it a secret because it was done carefully to maintain the quality of Real Madrid's performance in the long term.

But there is still a difference in the risk when they bought Bellingham because he has already had some terrific performances and played a remarkable season in Germany for Borussia Dortmund. Endrick from Palmeiras is another level transfer in regards to the risk and expectations. It is harder to measure or verify and there is also risk involved if you let the player play for a different club for a while that something happens in the meantime. But I guess those contingencies can be captured and solved in the contract. I am excited to see this Endrick guy play for Real Madrid because the transfer fee says a lot about him. It's probably not easy if a club pays 60 million for a player at that age when that player then arrives and everyone expects five goals in the first game.

Eljif Elmas Napoli career was quite good and she saw good success during her time in Napoli. Now he is turning a new page in a different league with Leipzig. The experience of a different league will be very good for him and he will develop very well with a team like Leipzig. I think the transfer that had the worst impact on Napoli was Kim Min-jae. After he left, Napoli's defense was not the same. They signed a contract with Osimhen, there was a lot of transfer news for a while, he was mentioned with different teams, but apparently he will continue to play in Napoli.

I mean even if you recruit famous players, it is very difficult to get out of the position of Man United players who don't work together on the field.

Maybe these news are just rumors and have nothing behind them.

Without taking any away from current  Manchester United boss Erik Ten Hag, I think he doesn't  have the needed tactical experience to improve the performance of the team no matter the amount of quality players that are in his disposal because he's not been able to show signs of a manager who can work  with high profile players.

So if Manchester United management want to improve the performance of the team, they should  first of all relieve Ten Hag of his duties as the club manager and hire a  top European  that's experienced enough to work with big players manager before they can proceed to sign big players that'll help improve the general performance of the club.

Milan probably needs to get 2 defenders in January due to injuries.
What if it will be a Bonucci 2 to Ac Milan?

There is no answer to that question yet, but the wait is likely to be short, depending on when Mbappe moves to Real Madrid, winter or summer. There are rumours that Mbappe has already signed some agreements with Real, but when exactly he will move is not clear

No, Mbappe won't leave PSG during the winter transfer window. This is really not a question of winter or summer. It is rather summer or never. The rumors that Mbappe signed a contract with Real Madrid are probably from the same person that is saying that Haaland has already signed agreements with Real Madrid Everyone who is world class in Europe has presumably signed secret contracts with Real Madrid

What a joke from laurentiis. He said that he was a gem but in fact, elmas was just another average player. There's nothing good from this guy. Elmas is just another average player but since his price is quite cheap but im not complaining about this.
Laurentiis is just always praising his player by said he was gem but his performance in napoli is so average. I would like that if lauretiis is just hyping his player to make other clubs feel impressed with him.

Nothing special from elms and what makes him a gem? You will alway call your player good to ensure there will be other club interested in buying it. This is and old trick used by the old generation.
We shall need to see him based on the statistic. It's only a joke from old guy. Never take it seriously caused by his stat said the truth about how good or bad he was.
