Manchester City bought Trafford from Burnley for £27 million, according to Fabrizio Romano.
https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1948680616796459433

Trafford is an extremely promising young goalkeeper who played 45 games for Burnley last season and kept 29 clean sheets at he is only 22 yo.
It seems that Guardiola has finally found a replacement for Ederson, but decided not to buy a ready-made goalkeeper, but a young one with prospects for years to come. The length of the contract is not yet clear, but I think it will be at least five years, given the player's prospects.

I don’t know much about this young goalkeeper but his stats are so impressive, 45 games and 29 clean sheets obviously explains why Guardiola has opted for him and for a fee of 27million I think this is good business. Manchester City seem to have successfully moved towards life after Ederson with this signing.

Yeah that's absolutely right !!!
James Trafford is such a fantastic goalkeeper like his positioning, reflexes, and handling is outstanding. So definitely his move towards Manchester city will bring up some good progress to the team because just like you said that he capped 19 clean sheets in 45 matches which I think quite impressive. Thus far his age is also too young like he is just only 22 years and I am pretty obvious that Manchester City will keep him for the rest of his career. Ederson often makes mistakes, and because of this, Manchester City faced a lot of difficulties in the previous season, even getting knocked out of the UEFA Champions League and also performing poorly in the league.

Pep is a great coach, he signs the player after seeing the player's specificity, and Pep Guardiola has also signed James Trafford after seeing the specificity, and therefore this signing will definitely be great.

Arsenal has signed Gyökeres, whom they have been pursuing for a long time.
They signed Gyökeres for a five-year contract for a fee of €73.5 million. Gyökeres will wear the number 14 jersey, once worn by Arsenal legends Henry and Aubemeyang.

Finally, after a long period of rumors, Arsenal officially announced the signing of Gyokeres on a five-year contract until June 30, 2030. It's really real now, no longer a rumor. Even when the signing was near, Manchester United tried to poach him. Fortunately, from the start, Gyokeres wanted to come to Arsenal. Welcome to the Central Forward, valued at €75.00m CMV.

This is really great news for Arsenal fans. It seems like all waiting and talk about Gyokeres is finally finished and it is big relief that he has officially signed. It is especially good to know that even though Manchester United tried to sign him Gyokeres always wanted to play for Arsenal. A five year deal shows strong commitment from both sides. Bringing in main striker worth €75 million clearly shows what Arsenal plans to do. This new player will definitely make their team much stronger for next few seasons.

I don't know if Joao Felix is interested in moving to the Saudi Pro League. Based on Fabrizio Romano tweet a few hours ago, Al Nassr has submitted a proposal to bring in Felix and the details of the contract are not yet known but it is estimated it will exceed his current market value. I personally think it would be a shame if Joao Felix had to leave Europa at the age of 25 even though 25 years should be the golden age, what do you guys think? Should he go to Benfica or Al Nassr? Indeed overall Joao Felix performance continues to decline since the last few years and most elite clubs are not interested in him so this is a difficult choice for him.

Real Madrid feels so reluctant in fulfilling Vini's request to get the same salary as Mbappe. I know he deserves it caused by he also contributed the same to the club. However, his club doesn't accept his offer and he may be looking for an alternative way like leaving from the club.

He was so desperate in getting the same wages, and talked to his club multiple times, but never successfull. At this point he shall forget to increase his wage. if he still wants to increase his wage, he shall leave from the club.

I think that's the best decision to leave from Real Madrid, then join in a club that can pay like what he wanted.

It's very sad and regrettable that in modern football, most top clubs mostly pays those that was signed with a lot of money more  than those that was signed on a smaller amount, even though the player that was signed with a smaller fees is doing well more than player signed on a huge contract, and if he demands the same pay rate they starts feeling cheated. I have seen situation like this countless times and it's heartbreaking, but for the love of the game, I think he should stay put, allowing this  salary issue drives him away from real madrid is not ideal because their is no better club than real madrid.
Though he wouldn't be short of suitors, but I still think that he is overrating himself, he is not better than mbape, Kyler mbape is not on the same league with him because mbape gives out more numbers than him, in goals and assist, so leaving real madrid because of this is not proper in my own opinion.

Yeah. i think he deserves it consider he helped Madrid won so many trophies. It's kinda weird when they gave a new player far higher salary compared to him while the new player still gives nothing to the club.

I meant his club has no respect to his loyality. Seeing him demanding same wage as Mbappe is totally making sense.

I completely disagree. Mbappé is a way better player than Vinicius, and you say that Vinicius has been longer at the club I would say that Real Madrid had a lot patience with him because for the first several years he was a very average player. He had a couple of very good seasons but he's no Mbappé, he's no Messi, and he's no Cristiano Ronaldo. If you want to be paid like the best you have to be the best, and Vinicius is not the best. He gets a lot of credit because he plays for Real Madrid.

The Premier League has 38 matches, so there's no need to overstate the fearsome Liverpool squad. I mean no matter how consistent Liverpool are they'll inevitably have their weakest. As a Liverpool supporter, I remain rational and understand that anything can happen, no matter how strong your squad is. Even in the Premier League we often see the strongest teams lose to underdogs.

I am surprised this is coming from an LFC fan. Anyway, what you said easier is nothing but the truth. In the eye of football fans, the current Liverpool squad look tough and bring Isak they may look invincible. But that is not how it works in reality. Even the toughest club lose to underdogs in some cases and it can happen again. If we also, look at their club friendly match against Milan, you will understand that LFC still need more players in their defense, although we wont be judging their strength based on the fact that they lost to Milan 2:4 yesterday.

I'm sure the money offered by Saudi for felix is big, but he will reject it. He prioritizes a move to Benfica instead of saudi club, though he will able to reunite with Ronaldo. His club only wants to sell him right now, and it doesn't matter what kind of club they're selling him. They will follow his decision.

Perhaps Paris Saint-Germain Football Club is currently looking to sell the French forward permanently and as far as I know the Italian heavyweights are also showing strong interest in him. At the moment, it appears that they are currently in new negotiations to finalize the transfer terms for this player maybe Randal kolo Muani was previously involved with the Italia club and even played on loan that season. Maybe the French player will definitely join the Italian club because it is largely true that he has not been able to establish himself as an important player in Luis Enrique's plans at the moment. My idea he will be able to rejoin Juventus Football Club and increase his value as a dynamic and clinical forward.

If Randal Kolo Muani is not in Luis Enrique's plans, then this forward should change clubs and go to the club that is interested in taking him. When Luis Enrique first took charge of PSG, we saw that he sold several PSG players after taking charge and kept those he planned for in the club. Randal Kolo Muani's performance last season may not have been enough for Luis Enrique and Luis Enrique may not need him much in the team now, which is why this manager is planning to leave this player. We are very close to the closing of the transfer market, now if PSG releases this star, they will have to buy another star. If PSG does not buy a replacement player, then PSG may be in danger if there are injury problems next season, I hope the management will definitely think about these things and then make a decision.

`snip`
Kolo Muani can fit in anywhere as long as he plays as an attacker but for Juventus I think he needs a club that plays more flexible than Juventus. I see them as a team that loves to defend more than they attack and the player Kolo Muani always stress himself to bring the ball to the attack, that alone shows how slow Juventus are, that's to me.

But I think Kolo Muani is quite a good fit for Juventus. I considered when he first arrived and immediately made a positive impact on the club. If I'm not mistaken, when he was still managed by Motta and currently Juve is managed by Igor Tudor, whose playing style emphasizes the attacking side, and that would make Kolo comfortable in his role. I think making this player permanent is a good move for the Old Lady and the price is quite cheap for a player of Muani caliber.

At first I thought he could not fit in the style of the Serie A compared to how we know Juventus play but then he can't stay at a place and feel relax for the ball to get to him, he showed that fighting spirit in him to getting the ball from end to end of the pitch just to prove himself, reminds me of how Osimhen plays and that alone over shadowed Dušan Vlahović and made him a second option, who knows if both player (Dušan Vlahović) and club are already planning on parting ways before the beginning of the new campaign.
Like I said before, Juventus should make this deal happen before clubs who are desperately looking for an option of an attacker start coming for him, but if they don't want to secure this deal it will be a poor decision because the player Kolo Muani has shown the love to stay at the club with his performance last season.

I'm sure the money offered by Saudi for felix is big, but he will reject it. He prioritizes a move to Benfica instead of saudi club, though he will able to reunite with Ronaldo. His club only wants to sell him right now, and it doesn't matter what kind of club they're selling him. They will follow his decision.

Chelsea as the owner wants to release Felix completely while Benfica offer was less profitable well this situation makes Chelsea a little hesitant about the deal with Benfica therefore, Chelsea is still open to further talks with Al Nassr and the results of the negotiations will be announced in the next 48 hours. I think in this situation the decision is in Felix hands, we know he still wants to compete in the Europa League but so far only Benfica has opened up opportunities but with less attractive offers.

The best case scenario might be Felix moving to the Saudi Pro League for a few seasons then returning to Benfica well, at that time he was still around 26-27 years old and was still worthy of competing in Europa.

Felix is not being talked about at all in the transfer market at the moment, and it looks like Felix will have to make a decision regarding his future. Benfica is keen to sign Felix, even though Al Nassr could offer him financial benefits. Chelsea have already stated they want to terminate their contract with Felix, so his next move depends on him. Some media outlets have reported that Felix himself wants to return home to play for Benfica. Communication between the two teams is ongoing, and Chelsea is willing to lower his asking price.

I feel very sorry for this guy that upon all the promise he shown in his early days of his career from benfica to Atletico madrid, he can't still evolve more than that, instead his level of play keeps on declining with has made all the top clubs rejected him all this while.
I feel really disappointed in him because he is too good to let his career dies this way, someone that was even thought as a future ballon d'Or contestant.
So just as you have said already, he would prefer going to benfica than Saudi Arabia, but if benfica can't afford him and can't price him away from Chelsea, he will have no choice than to reunited with cristiano Ronaldo at Saudi Arabias Al Nassr because at Chelsea right now, he is no longer in their plans going forward.

Inter Miami strengthened its midfield with R. De Paul.
I was surprised that De Paul chose the US League at such a young age.
I'm not sure if it was his own choice or if Atletico Madrid asked him to find a team.
He'll make a significant contribution to Inter Miami's midfield.
He might retire there for 3-4 years and then return to his homeland.
He's a strong, combative midfielder. Messi's presence in Miami also played a role in his decision to join Miami.

Rodrigo de Paul has been officially transferred to Inter Miami for 1 season. It is a loan from his present club, Atlético Madrid & Inter Miami also has an option to have him permanently till 2029. SO This WC and Copa América winner is 31 now, right? and he will again reunite with his argentinian teammate Messi? I also noticed the team has a stacked midfield with him joining alongside Busquets and Alba under the coach Mascherano. 15 million transfer fee is fair enough I think, which is one of the pricier coups as of MLS's standards. It will definitely be an upgrade in the midfield of Inter Miami & De Paul should focus on creating an impact and allowing Messi to attack by shielding him, helping Miami win the title with his skills and experience.

Usually the players who moved to MLS almost be retire because this league is not too competitive compared to Laliga or Premier league and i think 31 years still not categorize as old player i wonder why he decide moved to MLS while Simeone still played him regularly on Atletico Madrid and after this transfer De Paul receive many of criticism from Atletico Madrid fans because basically they still don't want De Paul leaving from this club but indeed apparently he want to play with Messi together before Messi retire

Milan started very well at the start of last season, but they can't seem to keep it going. In their match against Liverpool, Liverpool were better and had more possession. Despite this, they failed to capitalize on their chances and only managed to score two goals. Furthermore, they failed to prevent four goals from Milan and lost the match. Of course, this was a friendly, but friendly matches between two big teams are generally taken seriously. Liverpool is sounding the alarm right now, even before the Premier League starts. Last year's champions must win every friendly.

His club only wants to sell him right now, and it doesn't matter what kind of club they're selling him. They will follow his decision.

It's hard to refuse a big money offer, especially if the only option is Benfica, which doesn't guarantee Joao Felix's career will develop, so I think it's right for Joao Felix to choose the offer from the Saudi Arabian team to get a big money, especially since I see that it's difficult for Joao Felix to compete in a top European team, he doesn't have consistent performance even though he's quite good individually.

I just think it makes sense for him to make that move to Saudi, I really don’t think there was any good reason of moving to Benfica probably just to leave Chelsea and Saudi Pro League is offering a lot of money So it’s best for his career that has been going ups and downs ever since moving to Athletico Madrid and moving to Chelsea then to Barcelona this just shows how bad it’s been for a player like Joao Felix he latar went to AC Milan on loan which wasn’t a good move for him, and still didn’t work out for him there, I still don’t understand why a player like Felix who was once a golden boy nomination is having a bad career when he is supposed to be at his prime just at 25years it’s definitely a thing of surprise. So at this point it just makes a lot of sense for him to move to the Saudi pro league because they will offer a lot of money to him.

So at this point it just makes a lot of sense for him to move to the Saudi pro league because they will offer a lot of money to him.

Perhaps expectations were too high for him. We're now forced to accept that he's an average striker. I remember when he transferred to Atletico Madrid for a record fee. If I'm not mistaken, he was 18 and made quite a splash worldwide. Atletico Madrid thought they'd found a new star, but the Portuguese player's career continued to decline. He never lived up to expectations. He couldn't adapt to the Premier League. Similarly, he couldn't adapt in Italy. Perhaps it would be more logical for him to go to Portugal and start a new competition there. Of course, earning money in Saudi Arabia also makes sense.

Last year's champions must win every friendly.

No mate, no one expect last year champions to win every friendly matches. This is just friendly and team play it to fixture the new players and young academy players. Club do not take it serious, is just a fitness game. Ac Milian lost their previous match againt Arsenal, but won against Premier league champion. Football is just a crazy game, very hard to predict. Beside i don't take friendly matches serious.

Secondly Liverploo player are still mourning Diago Jota,the trauma will really affect their games next season, i hope they get over it and get back on their fit. Because next season will be very tough for them, they have to defend the league which am pretty sure they can't.

[SatoPrincess]

Rodrigo de Paul leavning Europe for MLS.
He was a great player until 3-4 years ago and then his class declined.
Its a shame, this player got a lot of potential.

The price is still a good income for Atletico, they are talking about 15m€ so after all it can be a capital gain for them.

Rodrigo De paul is now 31 and his move to MLS isn’t a big deal in my opinion because he’s had his fair career run in Europe. His price tag of £15 million is a good price for the player, I believe he will be happy at his new club reuniting with his countryman Lionel Messi next season.

It will all depend on his goal as a player. Some players are in football to make money while others want to make a name and win personal awards. I don't see it as a shame for Joao Felix to move to the Saudi Professional League because the Gulf League is not doing badly. We know it is developing but it has also attracted young and talented players. Mateo Retegui, the Italian Serie A top scorer, just moved to Al-Qadsiah for £56m.

Joao has not been at his best recently and needs to rebuild his career. He could use the SPL as a rejuvenation ground and return to Europe after a few years when he has improved. The money is also good and playing with legends like Ronaldo in the same league is also an attraction.

[sana54210]

What we are watching right now with Juventus, that should not be an issue for PSG to improve their squad and Kolo Muani could bring in some to help them. However, from this point on forward, they can't just get some 20-30 million player, because they are dealing with a ton of players that are already great, so we should focus on just getting star level players from here on out.

Like how Wirtz was dealt, that should not be focused at all, we should not be all that complicated we need to just realize they should get a ton of 100+ players if they want to. That is going to be the only way they can improve on what they already at all. That should not be all that complicated, we could focus on how to get better results.
