Alessandro Nesta, set to sign as new Monza head coach to replace Raffaele Palladino.
Verbal agreement in place and now set to be completed.

We all know it. When Fabrizio Romano is the man saying it, it is almost certainly going to happen. I honestly do not know much about this coach. All I know is that he was a very decent player. But she is definitely not a top-level coach. He did work with Miami FC, Frosinone before. Do not think he has actually worked with any very big teams before. So I wonder what he is going to do with his new club. To be honest I am not very hopeful about this one. But again he is not taking up the job of an elite level club. He’s going to work with Monza. If they finish in the first 10, they will probably be happy.

Alexandro Nesta is a legendary defender who is indeed very tough, strong and also fast, so far we have known him as an irreplaceable player in the Lazio and Milan defense in particular, in playing of course he has a very extraordinary ability, but as a coach of course he does not have brilliant achievements and is quite proud at this time,   Monza of course has the opportunity to work with Nesta after they now lose Raffaele Palladino who has indeed left for Fiorentina, currently it seems that many teams are starting to try to pit their fate by appointing young coaches and also beginners to coach a club and of course it is an opportunity for young coaches to show their talent in coaching at this time.

During the coaching of Raffaele Palladino of course monza has improved quite rapidly and even in the last two seasons they have been able to consistently be in the middle of the Serie A standings, so I think nesta will certainly not have too much trouble maintaining the form and also the position of monza next season because indeed monza will reportedly retain the majority of their squad this season.  In addition, even though he does not have much experience in coaching mid-table teams, at least Nesta can apply all the knowledge he has gained as a player so far to build Monza even better and of course the target of entering the top 10 is the most realistic target.

Julián Álvarezthe player of Manchester City had a good performance in this season and he got some offers from the other teams. It seems Atletico Madrid is interested in hiring Julián Álvarez for their teams and they sent him an offer. He joined Manchester City back in 2022 and for 22 million euros but because of Haaland, he couldn't have the opportunity he wanted to have. While Atletico Madrid was hoping to see him accept the offer.
But Manchester City clearly said Julián Álvarez is not for sale and they won't let him go.

If the deal to Chelsea would be possible, I'm thinking if he swings that way it'll be a great idea for him.... What do you think? Yeah, Atletico Madrid needs a point man there since Memphis Depay has already parted ways with the club, Alvaro Morata has not been long consistent with his form and how long can they rely on Griezmann alone? It would be awesome move and switch.

For his move to Chelsea,  he'll have to discuss with whoever's in charge so he doesn't have to compete with nobody about his place in that squad.

Manchester City cannot hold down a player who wants to leave the club, and saying it's because of Erling Haaland he hasn't gotten enough chance to play sounds somehow to me.
Erling Haaland is definitely one step ahead of Alvarez and we all saw hi impact. Pep Guardiola would have to merge them both together them if he has no plan placing him on the bench them.

Here we go. The rumor about Szczesny is coming up again.

Some points about him:

• Turin is not let him to leave from the club. He has not yet decided on which team to continue his career as a goal keeper.
  
  Possibility
  
  
• Al nassr
  - This rumor has appeared a few months ago but there was no further development about that. The latest news about juventus tells him free to leave from the club is opening the possibility for Szczesny to go to the saudi pro league to reunite with ronaldo.
  Al nassr's current goal keeper is so garbage. The club needs to bring him back.
  
  
  
• Arsenal
  - Raya took the spot as main goal keeper in arsenal. Ramsdale has showed his interest to leave from the club. Arsenal may possible to lost its second goal keeper as he is keen to join in the newcastle as a new goal keeper
  Szczesny may be good enough to fulfill the empty spot if ramsdale will leave from arsenal.

This was not true. Losing Mbappe will not impact PSG's playstyle considering it's only missing its good striker. Enrique continues to employ the same gameplay as when Mbappe was there but with the different striker. There's no difference here. The only difference is that PSG will be losing someone capable of scoring many goals in the French league, as he has transferred to Real Madrid.

Since when did Enrique say he would not rebuild? He has done it since he joined the club. Did you forget this was a game for eleven players? Do not attempt to centralize anything on mbappe. He's good with his choice to join madrid. The picture clearly said how big mbappe's contribution to the club this season. we may not able to see someone who was capable enough in doing it on PSG.

Goncalo? No mate, he was a flop.

sometimes big players like mbape and the likes of Christian Ronaldo could be a major distraction to other shining starts in the team and untill the leave the club, that's when you will notice that there are great replacements that could do literally the same thing they are doing at the attack. It's no doubt that mbape is a good attacker who does is job very well for PSG and his absence would be felt by both players and supporter but as a team, there will always be alternative and a substitute in the event that he's no longer in the team. The team will struggle somehow maybe for few matches to learn how to play without him but overall, PSG will survive and do well even without mbape.

Lukaku's still got it. The guy's a goal-scoring machine. Okay, maybe he's not 25 anymore, but experience matters. Chelsea's not giving him away for peanuts, and thats smart business. Napoli wants him? Great. But they gotta pony up. This isnt some garage sale. Lukaku's a superstar. Now, if he's against Saudi Arabia, that limits his options. But a talent like that doesnt stay on the bench for long.

Something will happen. Maybe another team steps up. Maybe Chelsea realizes what they've got. The transfer window is crazy. Anything can happen. But one thing's for sure: Lukaku's too good to be sitting around.

I mean the problem is that Arda has people who are quite young on the same place as he normally plays. Like if he was a right back, then I would say put him into the bench and anytime Carvajal can't play then he would play and then when Carvajal retires or leaves then Arda would take his place. But arda is a midfielder, he could possibly play at right wing too, or advance midfield but those are it.

At the same places, they have Camavinga, Valverde, Tchouameni, Jude, Rodrygo, and Modric for a while longer as well. Maybe I am even missing some names. I am not saying they should sell him, dude is a great player and all but it is clear that we are talking about a player who will not have that much time when they have these players and it is going to be tough. At the very least he is young so we could maybe see him get some time when he grows older, he is only 19 years old and already played some, I bet that he will play more and more from the bench with more time.

While Atletico Madrid was hoping to see him accept the offer.
But Manchester City clearly said Julián Álvarez is not for sale and they won't let him go.

Julián Álvarez performed well in Man City, but he still can't get a regular position there. Haaland becomes the obstacle of Álvarez to play as the main striker there. So, it is very unlikely to be the main player there. Considering this situation, it is normal if there are some teams interested to sign him. As far as I know, not only Atletico Madrid which is serious to sign Álvarez. PSG and Chelsea also try to negotiate with Man City to sign this player. But I doubt if Álvarez will move to Chelsea because it will be a problem for Man City. I guess PSG and Atletico Madrid will be the next team of Álvarez.



These are some news related to the possibility of Álvarez moving from Man City.

Yes, it's actually true that it's being speculated everywhere in the media that Julian Alvarez might be leaving Manchester city this summer due to the fact that he can't cement his place as a regular starter in Manchester city team because Erling halaand is more famous and more ruthless in front of goal than him, though his contribution to this Manchester city side is very much visible for all to see, but Erling halaand is way more ahead of him in the team, so he just want to go to a team that he is going to features more.

So among the teams that is being speculated that is vying for his signature is Chelsea and atletico madrid, and to be frank, I would really like seeing him in the Chelsea colours, but I don't think Manchester city will want to sanction such move, since he might face them next season if the move to Chelsea went through, so at this point, atletico madrid is his most likely destination.

Here I completely agreed with you about this all with things are clearly indicating he is the good player, and he can develop by time as well, but Manchester United needs to give him some respect with playing time as well because in last season he has done good job at the Getafe, and now he deserved better things here as well if they are not having any intention to give him chance then surely they need to sell him, but current price is too high with few clubs are not able to afford specially Barcelona and Getafe both are interested and having good mind about him but this all depends on Manchester United management what they want to do.

This is a good offer for the young that striker to join a bigger club. He played well at Getafe, which made several big clubs interested in buying him from Manchester United and the club set a fairly expensive price because of his good performance in La Liga. But Getafe can't afford to buy him, this club can only afford the loan option from Manchester United but it is an opportunity for Juventus to recruit this player if Getafe can't afford him and it is a good opportunity for the player to join the Italian league and join a big club there that is very good to support his career in football.

Rather than having to stay at Manchester United which doesn't give him much playing time, it's better for him to leave the club and choose a club that uses his services and at Juventus he can play as a regular player especially knowing that his potential at Getafe is quite good and Juventus is looking for several players to improve their performance next season because this season Juventus is not playing optimally and next season Juventus needs new players to perform well in the Champions League next season.

He was rumoured to be joining Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. Talks and rumours about joining Real Madrid calmed immediately they gave Carlo Ancellotti a contract extension as they also calmed the pressure of Carlo Ancellotti joining the Brazilian National Football Federation.

Joining Madrid? That's not going to happen even when they haven't given Ancelotti a new contract, they know how other clubs would come knocking to get Ancelotti, Madrid only had to delay maybe because they wanted to see how far he'd go in the champions league, as for Xabi Alonso going to Madrid I feel it was a rumor that wasn't strong to take effect even Bayern Munich rumor.
Every coach won't want to join Bayern Munich after doing well with Leverkusen so I think choosing Leverkusen over Bayern was the best decision as a coach he has made. I think Alonso has already made a statement in the Bundesliga and he doesn't need much per say and going to Liverpool after this just concluded season won't really get him where he is with the Leverkusen team, EPL will humble him at first season but I know one thing for sure that he (Xabi Alonso) won't finish outside the top 4.

But indeed this rumor really happened where the consideration that Ancelotti extended a short-term contract (only 2 seasons) and indeed the rumors of Xabi to Madrid were before Ancelotti officially extended the contract at that time so it is legitimate that there are rumors like this especially if I'm not mistaken at that time Ancelotti was also busy with his news with the English national team at that time.

Now it's over where the speculation about Xabi must end because he has decided to stay at Leverkusen so with this we only need to see what steps Xabi will take with Leverkusen next season menginnat with the current condition of the champions and with their record last season which was very classy where more than 50 matches without losing then indeed at this time he will continue to be tested and seen because after all the expectations are clearly great for Leverkusen this season.

I was reading about LUIS ALBERTO going to Qatar but I wonder why all these players are deciding to go there ok okay the money at this age is a lot but I will never understand the choice of these young players to go to Qatar to get millions moving away from football that counts with the possibility of never lifting a trophy like the champions league again should be the dream for a young footballer

Manchester City knows that this player has excellent abilities, so they won't just let him go and let him join another team. Even though many offers have come their way, for now they want to keep it. But maybe they will change their minds if they get a tempting offer to let Julian Alvarez go. Actually, Manchester City is also a stable team, both in terms of the players they have and their financial situation, so I don't think the offer of money will make them waver.

This season he scored 11 goals and 9 assists from 36 appearances in the English Premier League. In the Champions League he also recorded 5 goals and 2 assists from his 7 appearances. That is a good record for a player, he contributed to the game of Manchester City. The news I also have is that Paris Saint Germain is one of the teams interested in bringing in Julian Alvarez, they are definitely trying with all their might, especially with their weapon, namely money.

  Szczesny may be good enough to fulfill the empty spot if ramsdale will leave from arsenal.
  

Don't know how much Juventus want to sell Szczesny because Juventus have now recruited another goalkeeper named Gregorio with a deal of 18 million EURO I don't know where this goalkeeper came from which is clear that Szczesny's position has no place at Juventus, for me it is better to go to the Arab League because there will get more money if the offer is more attractive will reunite with Ronaldo.

Fabrizio's source said that the decision is in Szczesny's hands whether he will take this step or not.
But I'm not sure Szczesny will fill the void for Arsenal's second goalkeeper maybe Arteta doesn't need him.

I was reading about LUIS ALBERTO going to Qatar but I wonder why all these players are deciding to go there ok okay the money at this age is a lot but I will never understand the choice of these young players to go to Qatar to get millions moving away from football that counts with the possibility of never lifting a trophy like the champions league again should be the dream for a young footballer

I still remember that Luis Alberto had just extended his contract with Lazio last summer and I thought it was possible that he would want to retire at Lazio considering that his contract ends in 2027. But it seems wrong with this news so that initially it will be a sweet ending as a legend and retire in Lazio changed completely when there was a more tempting offer.

Luis Alberto is actually still 31 years old and he should still be able to compete at European competition level. However, it seems that Al-Duhail made a salary offer that was difficult to refuse and his departure proves that money is the reason he cannot stay at Lazio.

I think Luis Arberto is just chasing money because if he is pursuing his career, of course the best step is to stay in Europe rather than joining a Qatari league team. One of them is that the salaries given are too large, which makes European players prefer to play in the Qatari league. An agreement between Al Duhail and Lazio regarding the transfer of Luis Arberto has been reached where Lazio will get €11 million from the sale of Arberto.

This season, many top players are being chased by Qatari league teams and Saudi Arabian league teams. Lukaku is also closely linked with several top teams from the Saudi Arabian league, but for now Lukaku is still focusing his career on remaining in Europe.

He's already done enough since his days with Arsenal, at least he can boast of winning quality trophies with Juventus. It's time fir him to leave and this is a good challenge and journey he's already had in the past few years. All I see is agent Cristiano Ronaldo working under to get him over.
Asides him, Casemiro has also been linked to be swinging that way, I'd love that because he would fetch Manchester United some huge fees to get a quality replacement for him.

Ramsdale to Juventus? Lol! Football has evolved, he need to learn how to make good use of his both feets. David Raya has earned his place and he deserves it. You could see what he brings into the club.

Aaron Ramsdale is filled with errors and was amongst thise that cost Arsenal the league last two seasons. He should be sold out completely.

They did the wrong thing from the start, how dependent they were on Mbappe, and that's what made them feel a deep sense of loss after Mbappe said he would not renew his contract and their next season was certain to be without this player. I understand that Mbappe's abilities make them dependent on him, but actually they can already make preparations because in a team players will come and go at any time.
What I see is that they weren't ready for that, so they were confused, and it even took them a very long time to persuade Mbappe, even though in the end they were never able to convince Mbappe again to stay with them.
Now they have to forget about that and better focus on the team to be even better even without Mbappe. There is much they can do instead of regretting Mbappe's departure, because after all it has happened.

Frankly, I don't really know how Luis Alberto performed last season, and how many teams are interested in him, but it seems that if he decides to join the Qatari club, I think it's a pretty realistic decision. He knew very well that he was not young anymore, and if he didn't really impress last season, not many clubs would look at him. So the only choice is to stay with the remainder of his contract or accept an offer from any team that offers a bigger wage.

There are not many opportunities that can be obtained by players who are no longer at their productive age to get big salaries. So when the opportunity came to them, it made perfect sense that they would accept it. I think this is what is happening to Luis Alberto.

Of course, any footballer can be replaced, and one way or another the club (especially such a dominant one as PSG) will continue to win, but this does not mean that there is no significant difference between the departed star and the one who replaces him. It's like running the 100 meters: everyone is running very fast, but tenths of a second advantage makes you a champion and separates you from the crowd.

These players you mentioned didn't just wake up one morning and became the strongest force in their respective leagues. They actually worked hard for it and rightfully earned the attentions they get in their respective leagues. For a player to be so good that he can single-handedly win important games for his team, it's normal thing for the team to be built around such player. Cristiano Ronaldo and his protege Kylian Mbappe are two players that their influence in any team they're playing for is always beyond normal because of the positive impact they bring to the team.
In the last six seasons, Kylian Mbappe haven't just been Paris Saint Germaine's best player and top performer but has also been top scorer in the French league. That's the kind of impact he posseses and that's why he's move away from the club is expected to affect the team. But even in his absence, Paris Saint Germaine is still the strongest team in the French league and that's why I think they'll succeed without him

That is a good record for a player, he contributed to the game of Manchester City. The news I also have is that Paris Saint Germain is one of the teams interested in bringing in Julian Alvarez, they are definitely trying with all their might, especially with their weapon, namely money.

I know that Man City is financially stable. But Julian Alvarez must leave Man City. Man City wants to keep Alvarez, as a backup plan for Haaland. Despite being labeled the 2022 World Cup champion, Alvarez is still just a supporting player in Man City's attack, in the huge shadow of Erling Haaland.

If Julian Alvarez wants to play football more often, he should leave and find a new club. If he continues to act as Haaland's shadow obediently, his career will soon decline. Give a nod to any team that wants to release his contract. Because at that club there is still a chance for him to play more to prove himself.

The source named Sport says that Xavi is keen on managing a Premier League team. His whole career has been Barcelona as a footballer and manager both so far. He went to Qatar too of course but you know. 

It would be interesting to see him managing a team in a league which he has no experience yet. I'm just thinking about which team in the Premier League would like to bring Xavi these days. Some time ago I would say Chelsea maybe but they have already signed Enzo Maresca. In case of parting ways with Erik ten Hag, maybe Manchester United?    Let's see how things go but Xavi needs to continue his job shortly to get more experience as a manager.
