Kalvin Phillips opens to leave Manchester City
PSG is trying for Nico Williams.
Aston Villa is moving for Raphinha during this summer.
Liverpool and Tottenham and Arsenal are in a race to sign Viktor Gyokeres
Joao Felix 24 is opened to leave Spain, Villa is interested.

Kalvin Philips is definitely going to leave Manchester city either on permanent deal or at least a loan move to any club, staying will definitely be a waste of time because I don’t see him getting any chance in breaking info this Pep’s team at the moment considering what Pep even said about him before leaving for West Ham last season. With the likes of Kovacic and Nunez still finding it hard to get first team football and Pep favouring young players like Rico Lewis again he needs to leave. At the moment with his contract still much in with two or more years, a permanent deal now might seems expensive for most clubs and the best thing will be for him to just Find another loan move to any of their smaller clubs in the league or away from the league.

PSG seems to baffle with their transfer decisions for goodness sake they have lots of attackers already and are still heavily linked with almost all attackers in the market, there are other positions that definitely need attention too are they not getting it. The position they neglected the most is the defensive which is a bit worrying, Marquinhos needs competition, he is been too comfortable there to me.

Viktor Gyokeres should be the priority for Arsenal, they among the three clubs interested are the ones in need of a striker badly, Jesus doesn’t just have it to me because of his injury woes and lack of consistency. Nketiah doesn’t seem to fit into Arteta’s plan, so Gyokeres with his impressive performance last season will be a great addition. Although Tottenham movement Will be good for the player with the likes of Werner and Richarlison still misfiring.

As long as Diego Simeone is still the manager of this Atletico side, Felix will find it hard to break into the team. He needs to leave and Aston Villa under Unai Emry might just be the perfect solution for him, because it seems Barcelona have moved away from him. Aston Villa have lost a winger already, the space left by Moussa Diaby can easily be filled by Felix.

Real Madrid and Rüdiger have both rejected a transfer, although there have been very good offers and especially from Saudi Arabia. If both cancel the offers from Saudi Arabia, they will not agree with other lower offers, so I am sure that Rüdiger will stay in Madrid.

Saudi Arabia clubs tabling offers for European players, it's good projects for the Asian side but most of these European players wouldn't trigger the sell clause for some pennies, they need huge profits from the sales of their players, I think we should get that. Antonio Rudiger is one of the solid defending for Los Blancos, always coming through for the club in difficulties, never letting his guards down and available when for the club. Real Madrid are keeping firm holding on their players basically the keymen because building a formidable squad requires the serving efforts of these players.

Rudiger has stated that he wants to stay at Madrid so it looks like this transfer will not happen, currently Rudiger has reached the age of 31 but his age has not affected his performance with Madrid so far, he was brought in from Chelsea in 2022 and until now he has been the main choice Madrid in midfield, previously Madrid lost Nacho who left for the Arab League so I think Ancelotti will not let their defense line be weak next season just because they lost Rudiger now, indeed  Madrid are still looking defenders players to strengthen their squad next season, so of course ancelotti not going to sell Rudiger right now even though they got a fantastic offer from Al-Ittihad, apart from that Rudiger still seems to really want to play in a league that still allows him to be called up by the German squad in the future so he will reject the offer coming from al ittihad.

Why are the Arabs after Real Madrid players or don't they see other clubs. They got Macho and now they want Rudiger, this will not work because Rudiger is one and only in Real Madrid and has no replacement.

However, since Rudiger is not leaving Real Madrid, there is not the Arabs can do anymore because it is the choice of a player to choose the club he will play for. Rudiger that is still enjoying himself in Real Madrid and has the zeal to win more trophies with Real Madrid both in domestic and international competitions will not gamble with his opportunity.

To sum up everything, Rudiger prefers playing for Real Madrid because of the reason that, he is widely accepted by everyone(the coach and fan base) and he has already made a name in the Real Madrid squad, so no need to go to a lesser club all because of the big offer being rendered to leave Real Madrid for SPL club.

For Rudiger thought, it is better to stay in a club(Real Madrid) where you will live a legacy as one of their best defenders recorded in winning different trophies at a prime time in football than moving to a club where your legacy in football won't be recorded, other than as one of the players who earned a huge sum of money without winning a single trophy in the club before retiring from football.
For Rudiger, career goals are his main pursuit in Real Madrid rather than being money-oriented to other clubs. Real Madrid has offered him more than enough that he can be grateful for.

As long as Real Madrid still needs Rudiger's services, it is not a good choice for Rudiger to leave and try a new challenge. Rudiger has been a good defender in the Real Madrid squad since he was brought in from Chelsea, in fact Rudiger has won many titles since joining. Staying at Real Madrid is a good choice for Rudiger, unless he feels that Real Madrid no longer needs him.

Rudiger could perhaps follow in the footsteps of his compatriot Kroos. Retiring as an active player is something that may be worth planning for, but some players will want to play at the end of their career and they will only play in lower competition. Rudiger is still quite good at 31 years old, he will definitely have a good season in the next few seasons.

Rumors about an offer from Juventus to Atalanta for koopmeiners.
Offer was of 45mil, Atalanta wants 60mil.

On the player we got Liverpool also few weeks ago but the player wanted only Juventus.
But at that price Juventus can't buy him.

Keep an eye from Premier League teams.

This surprises me. The last time I heard him linked to Juventus was two months ago. Personally, I thought he was too expensive for Juventus. Though Koopmeiners is a good player, we don't know if he can do it in a different system than Gasperini's set up. Also, it may be hard for him to adapt to Motta's set up too.

Atalanta priced him 60m is way too expensive. I hope Juventus uses the money wisely. I'm curious, who will be sacrificed to get Koopmeiners from Atalanta?

We can get a cheaper option than Koop, such as  Gudmunsson which is also far cheaper than Koopmeiners.



I think Juventus should consider another option for Koopmeiners. And Atalanta can keep him for now! Im not a fan for this transfer caused by atalanta priced Koopmeiners so damn high!

It seems like Arsenal's interest in Viktor Gyökeres is still alive.    However they are said to be facing competition from Liverpool and Tottenham as well according to Football Insider.

Like I said before, Sporting's intention was to sell him only by his release clause to be bought. It is 100 million euros as a reminder. If they are still thinking the same then all of these teams might drop their interest. I also think he isn't worth that much normally but the market is like this these days unfortunately.  

All of these teams would make use of a striker like him of course. But I would like to see him signing for Arsenal especially. Because it would be like the last piece to complete the puzzle. Then they can go all-out attack for the Premier League title.

Arsenal have spent most of the summer transfer market looking for a new striker, they have often been linked with a number of names of players who play in the center forward position, one of which is Viktor Gyokeres, the Sporting striker has attracted quite a lot of attention thanks to his performance. Interestingly, several other clubs are also reported to be eyeing this Swedish international player. Not only Arsenal, but Liverpool, Spurs and Chelsea are reportedly ready to provide competition to Arsenal to get the signature of this Sporting Lisbon striker, although other sources previously reported, one of which is the Portuguese media, claiming that Gyokeres wants to stay for another year, there are also claims of extending his contract with one more season and a salary increase. However, rumors are that Arsenal's offer will be submitted after Nketiah leaves. In addition, the Gunners' transfer funds will also increase immediately by releasing Emile Smith Rowe, where Emile Smith almost moved to Fulham. However, based on several references that I have read, Arsenal will only submit an opening offer, they also know very well that Sporting has a release clause of around €100 million. let's see which striker Arteta actually wants to bring in, because Arsenal's need for a productive center forward is very clear. but so far there is no certainty about the striker that Arsenal will bring to the Emirates Stadium, because there are still several players in other striker positions who are also linked with Arsenal in this transfer window.

Real Madrid and Rüdiger have both rejected a transfer, although there have been very good offers and especially from Saudi Arabia. If both cancel the offers from Saudi Arabia, they will not agree with other lower offers, so I am sure that Rüdiger will stay in Madrid.

It seems that this transfer will not happen because Real Madrid is not interested in selling Rudiger, he is also not interested in leaving Real Madrid because he feels comfortable playing there. Rudiger has been a key player for Real Madrid since joining the Spanish giants two seasons ago, winning six trophies with the club, including La Liga and the Champions League in 2023-24.
Rudiger gained Ancelotti trust after the injuries suffered by Eder Militao and David Alaba, his impressive performance in guarding Real Madrid defense made Ancelotti include his name in his plans for next season. He will remain at Real Madrid despite a big offer from Saudi Arabia, Ancelotti is very satisfied with his contribution to the defense and will keep him to keep the defense solid.

Rudiger's not going anywhere. Why would he do this? He is a winner; winners for Real Madrid perform. Think back on those injuries to Alaba and Militao. Rudiger got up and carried us to another Champions League trophy. Ancelotti is gifted. He is aware of who he can rely upon. And believe me, he puts Rudiger first. That is not given; it is earned.

Yeah, I hear the rumors. Saudi money talks. But Madrid's not about the money and Rudiger's about winning. There's no better place to win than Madrid.

Besides, look at our backline. Nacho has left. We need Rudiger. He leads as much as he plays.

So forget the rumors. Rudiger's stay-still. For us, he is our guy. And with him, we will win another Champions League.

Koopmeiners has attracted interest from several clubs this summer thanks to his performances for Atalanta in Serie A.

The fact is that Atalanta is a economically ok club and they dont need to sell players to make money for the balance.
They are selling players every year with overpriced value and no one of them outside Atalanta has not became a top player.

Koop can be the tipical Atalanta's player, a very good player in the club, sold for a ton of money and underperforming outside Atalanta.

it is a risk.

Kalvin Phillips opens to leave Manchester City

Aston Villa is moving for Raphinha during this summer.
Liverpool and Tottenham and Arsenal are in a race to sign Viktor Gyokeres
Joao Felix 24 is opened to leave Spain, Villa is interested.
Newcastle wants Malick Thiaw from AC Milan.

News from BBC

BrO, you know what I'm thinking about? Outta that Spanish prison. Simeone locked Joao Felix down more than a chastity belt. Emery, though, he is going to release the beast! Felix fits Villa's situation since he has Diaby money burning a hole in their pocket. That man have abilities. Emery will shape him into a really outstanding Premier League player

And this Gyokeres kid is a MONSTER! Liverpool, Tottenham, Arsenal are all circling like vultures. Arsenal, though, they most need him. Though they're nice, Jesus, Nketiah, are not cutting it. Gyokeres generates opportunities, he targets goals, he has that fire. This window of transfer will be crazy, man. The Premier League is going to burst! We will witness some insane events and some major upheavals

Am I the only person who considered the way Kalvin Philips was treated last season by Josep Pep Guardiola unfair? I don't know the real details but why but him from leeds united if you had no such plans to use him? He is eager to leave Manchester City with immediate effect. He has no such plans to leave on a short term loan. I feel like this is a good approch for him.

Paris Saint Germans are very good using money as a tool to lure players. Ask me if it'll work on Nico Williams and I'll say hell no. We both know that he wants to be close to his mother in spain and also reunite with his mate and friend from the national team Lamine Yamal. Barcelona will finally be his next decision.

I don't even understand them, they want Joao Felix and Raphina? Well, this would be great news for Barcelona, because they need sell off some players to get money so they could fund for Nico Williams and Daniel Olmo.

Whoever signs Viktor Gyokeres, he is not well experienced in the Premier League Competition, he will deff take time to settle. Newcastle worries me honestly, the coach Eddie Howe would be in his third season but yet to win a single trophy after all of the money splashed few seasons back. Do you think he'll be able to do that finally?!

Chelsea will pay € 24.5m for Danish talented GK Filip Jørgensen.

Filip Jørgensen does look to be a very talented goalkeeper. I hope he will actually be very useful to Chelsea.

By the way I was looking at his stats and I saw that he has picked up for yellow cards in the last season. How does that happen ! ! By the way right now Chelsea does need some goalkeepers because they do not have a great main goalkeeper to be honest. And I think this Villarreal  goalkeeper who will be able to give good service to the Blues for quite a long period of time. Actually it is also going to be a good thing Jørgensen because he might actually get good playing time in Chelsea.

Do you think so? I know a few good players which they sold and who have continued to show a very strong performance in their new clubs. Atalanta is more likely to be one of those clubs that spend little on player purchases and then earn more on sales.

Examples for players:

Kulusevski to Juventus and Tottenham
Bastoni to Inter
Mancini to Roma

It's high time Kalvin Philips forces himself out of Manchester City if he wants to get more playing time and start his career afresh, because I don't think he'll get much opportunities to exhibit his talent with Pep Guardiola at Man City, age is not on his side, he's 28 years old and needs more playing time, but if I were him, I would've considered a short term loan to a club where I'll get playing time, considering the fact that my performance could be so attractive and force the club to sign me. Nico Williams to Barcelona looks mostly likely cause Williams prefers Barcelona where he'll link up with his friend and country man Yamal but PSG are financially capable of performing a hijack on the deal. I wonder why Barcelona could not keep Joao Felix for another season, well he'll be a very good addition to Aston Villa and Barcelona would be hoping that Aston Villa sign Raphinha over Felix so they could afford Nico Williams signing fee. Who else think Aston Villa would have a great season ahead, with the quality of players they signed and those they're still after they're really serious with the upcoming season by strengthening the team to be ready for the challenge ahead.

Atalanta's secret is Pierre Gasperini and everything else is built around what Gasperini needs. Atalanta sell any player if it brings profit and you have written great players: Kulusevski, Bastoni, Mancini and even without them Atalanta could win the Europa League.
Recently Atalanta quietly sold Alexei Miranchuk for 15 million euros, even though he had a good season, but since Atalanta will make a profit on this deal, they sold the player.
It will be the same with Koopmeiners, when Juventus will offer a little more than 45 million.

For Rudiger, career goals are his main pursuit in Real Madrid rather than being money-oriented to other clubs. Real Madrid has offered him more than enough that he can be grateful for.

His age is something to consider especially in his role as a defender. Staying back in Real Madrid to retire will be better for him than retiring at any club because just like Ramos back then, he is well known and accepted by both fans and the coach which is what every player need. He has also keeping some records and he is well respected by all players in the team because of his talent, and zeal to fight for trophies.

He is not more young to be relied on, but he can still help the team to achieve some greatness. I think he will be able to guide any defender been signed to the playing pattern of the team because teams like Madrid need defenders that can do their best to defend with their heart.

Rudiger is still very productive in making a strong contribution to Real Madrid and it is impossible for the club to release the player.
He seems to be very comfortable with Real Madrid which has given him such great experience and even being able to win the Champions League title provides a strong motivation to continue with Real Madrid and maybe it will be like you said if Real Madrid could be the last club that Rudiger stops by.

Ancelotti understands Rudiger's performance very well so it is impossible for Ancelotti to release the player without getting a replacement player while currently there are no plans to find a replacement for Rudiger.
If there are rumors linking Rudiger to another club I am sure it will not come true.

Gunners knows how much they want to win the Premier League Competition this season, they should sign up a player who has a good experience of the Premier League Competition and will settle down into the sqaud immediately. There's no other name that comes to my brain than the name ( Julian Alvarez ). The Argentine is tested, approved and trusted.

There is Alvarez yeah but Manchester City wouldn't want to let him go. I don't think Alvarez would like to leave now either. He is happy with the chances he finds now. His situation isn't like Palmer's. You know the biggest reason why Palmer left them was the lack of playing time.    Guardiola wouldn't let it happen to Alvarez too as he is another great talent.

There are many solid strikers out there. It all depends on how eager Arteta wants one. I think he had better sign one to have a bigger chance for a Premier League title. Consistency is everything if you are competing a team like Manchester City.

Chiesa may end in Premier League, Talks are ongoing with Chelsea and Spurs, The rumored price is for 25m€.
Tobido can be official to Juventus in days.
Florunsho officialy renewed his contract with Napoli until 2029.
Soulè left for Rome and tomorrow will do his medical for De Rossi, price should be 26+4 + % of resell in the future.

Jørgensen is close into joining Chelase, a very expensive but young goalkeeper.

That will be a great plus to the squad. I never thought of that before but this will be a huge one for Arsenal if they can have him in their squad as top striker. Julian Alvarez despite coming in those days as substitutes always make impact in the game for Manchester City. He is a great asset to Manchester City, I don’t think they’ll let him go. He is a player that’s going to be playing for a long time there even after Pep Guardiola leaves the club. I don’t know what Arsenal can do to convince him to join them but it is still unrealistic to happen. Arsenal should just look for other options to go for, but Alvarez is not a player that will join them anytime soon or in the future as far as I know for now.

I don't think Alvarez will leave Manchester City either. Manchester City will do whatever it takes to keep him from leaving the team, he is currently one of the most valuable football players in the world. I think he will either be transferred for a very high price or continue to play for City for a few more years. It's always good to be in the Premier League, it wouldn't be good for him to go to other countries

According to sources at X that Alvarez's £77m price tag is a big value because indeed this young player is quite impressive in his appearance with Manchester United he has also won many titles he is a lucky young player I think so.

Arsenal, Chelsea and PSG are rumored to be interested in the Argentine, but there has been no official talk from Manchester City whether they are interested in selling or not, and what is the personal agreement with Alvarez.

If Arsenal want him then they will have to spend a lot of money which could be more than £77M.
