Potential Salah replacement. Highly rated but PSG are interested too.

Richard Hughes should be very careful how he throws money in the transfer window, I think this player Yan Diomande is very expensive, his just had a one season with RB Leipzig, and he isn’t a proven player, he only had one good season, for God sake why trying to spend so much money on this player when they can get better players in the region of £50 million, personally this player is too expensive, this wasn’t the Klopp way that we know in Liverpool, Saido Mane, Mohamed Salah, Firmino, wasn’t bought for such amount of money, and when this players come with so much money on their transfer fees, the pressure comes in and they will struggle to perform.

Yan Diomande, is just 19yrs old and he is too expensive for the kind of money that RB Leipzig are demanding, Liverpool should be all over Bradley Barcola who have more experience and have won numerous trophies and have experience in Europe, RB Leipzig wants to reap Liverpool of so much money for someone who doesn’t deserve that price tag.

Bastoni has been rumoured with especially Barcelona a lot honestly. They have said that he is their number one candidate for their defense signings.

But now Chivu says this... Maybe he has been able to be convincing for him to stay. But still the dream of playing for a much bigger team like Barcelona is just something else. 

If Bastoni also dreams of it then they would still have a chance to get him.

He is simply playing down Barcelona's advances for Bastoni. If I was Bastoni, I will want to try something elsewhere. Barcelona is one of the finest clubs in the world and with Hansi Flick in charge, he will most likely upgrade his game and also complement the young defender Pau Caubarsi.
I see Barcelona pressing furthermore to get him. I'm proud of their sporting director ( Deco) he knows the club and makes good significant signings for them.

After winning the Scudetto this season, Alessandro Bastoni is certainly very ambitious to play in the Champions League, strengthening Inter Milan defense. It seems to me that Barcelona should take another option to recruit other star players to strengthen their defense next season. I think Bustoni will be a legend in Milan and Italy. Barcelona offer is very tempting, but staying and playing in Serie A is a very realistic option for him after bringing Inter Milan to the championship this season. Playing in Milan will make him a legend if he performs consistently every season. Italian players nowadays are very rare to stand out, especially after the Nesta and Canavaro eras. He must stay if he wants to be a legend in the future.

Barcelona really need to improve how they do business. Did they really expect to get Marcus Rashford for 13m? I feel sorry for Rashford because I know his heart is in Barcelona and he doesn’t want to return to Manchester United. Unfortunately for Rashford, he is not making the starting eleven, his only hope right now is having an impressive performance in the World Cup so he can attract offers from a top club in Europe.

Rashford is just unfortunate that it was Barcelona that loaned him from Manchester United. I think another club would have secured a permanent deal considering his positive contributions to the club. He is not important to them which is why they prefer to buy another player instead of keeping him. I think the English player's focus now would be moving to any top club that can move him away from Old Trafford.  Rashford wants to leave United by all means.

With the current performance development of the Man United team, I think there will be many players who want to play for Man United, including Rashford, especially when he is not getting a place in Barcelona's starting lineup.

Barcelona's management business methods have indeed been very poor so far, but we can see that in the last few seasons this has been somewhat covered up and has been able to slightly improve Barcelona's performance. For a player like Rashford, I think it is very difficult because so far Rashford has not shown his best performance even though Barcelona has given him several opportunities, so I am a bit doubtful about Rashford, and it is also understandable if Barcelona's management offers a low price to be able to get him.

I think Barcelona just need to make it clear for Marcos Rashford to known his stance if he’s going to leave or stay. But I doubt if Barcelona will sign him permanently but I’m hopeful the club can still renegotiate for another loan deal for him with Manchester United his parent club. Marcos Rashford have showed signs of being a quality player during his loan spell in Barcelona and for a player who have been coming off the bench to have score 8 la liga goals with 3 assists and also 3 goals in the champions league deserves to be retained. Antony Goron is a main starter for Newcastle and have over all 16 goals this season just 8 ahead of Rashford who is not a regular starter which shows that if Rashford starts almost every game for Barcelona he will score more goals for them.

Marcus Rasford is a good player just that he wasn't playing regularly at Barcelona if he has i believe he would have score more goals. It's better for Barcelona to come up with something now so the striker will know his next movement if also Man united won't need him i believe some other clubs will need him because he can still score good goals, I think carrick has also build a team if he goes back to old Trafford he may also be coming from the bench also he prove otherwise.

Barcelona have reportedly made a €15 million offer to Manchester United for Marcus Rashford, which is only half of the amount United are asking for. Unsurprisingly, Manchester United rejected the proposal. Barcelona still have 10 days to change their mind and meet the full asking price. The situation seems fairly straightforward, Carrick wants Rashford in his squad, and Manchester United are unlikely to accept a reduced fee. Therefore, everything depends on Barcelona. If they truly want Rashford, they will pay the €30 million fee before June 15. If not, he will return to Manchester United.

[Lida93]

Snip

He scored 13 goals and 10 assists in all matches with Barcelona, stats not much different from Lewandowski and Raphinha, it's strange that those achievements didn't impress Flick. My assumption is that this is part of Barcelona game plan to get Man Utd to agree to their offer, as they are bidding less than 20 million euros if I'm not mistaken, to make Rashford permanent. But with new suitors Newcastle, I think Man Utd will sell him to that team. Hopefully Barcelona won't regret it.

Actually, I think Marcus Rashford's transfer at this price would be cheap. Because he made good contributions and played successful matches for Barcelona. He proved himself in Europe. That's why I thought he could be part of Manchester United's plans for next year. However, it seems Manchester United still want to sell him. Marcus Rashford wants to play for Barcelona.

With all that impressive performance which Rashford exhibited supporting Barcelona to winning the La'liga title it was almost certain for some of us that Hansi Flick would prioritise his stay in the team but it's surprising to me how he doesn't seem to think that way. On the other hand I don't think he may as well fit in Carrick's team by returning to Manchester United (just my thoughts), but if Newcastle actually presses for him then I think he should move there and that's what United would do than selling him very cheap to Barcelona.

He has been called up to Barcelona's starting XI in very few matches. Rashford would not have been given much opportunity if no player was injured. He has played most of the  matches as a substitute. But even then rashford has finished a great season. He has scored 8 goals and 7 assists in La Liga. If he had a  place in the starting XI, these goals and assists would undoubtedly have increased. Hansi FLick should keep this talented player at Barcelona. But Flick is not showing any interest in Rashford. However, barcelona is ready to spend a large amount of money for Gordon and Alvarez.

For a quality player like Marcus rashford to score only eight goals this season, it shows that he has really been poor even though most of his appearance is from the bench. Though he scored in some important matches for Barcelona but  the reason I think hansi flick doesn't want to sign him on a permanent deal is because of his poor goals return, because if he is a player that guarantees 20 goals a season, their is no way Barcelona is going to pass on this opportunity because his transfer fee is not that much.

The key is determined not to sell. So Liverpool has no option other than try to fulfill what Leipzig wants to sell him since he has no release clause. It's interesting to see how much Leipzig will demand for him. This potentially to be another Wirtz transfer.

Your club has money, and they can pay like what they did to Wirtz.

If Rashford had a choice, he would not return to Manchester United, not to say that the club really wants him back anyway. Don’t forget that Rashford offered to lower his wages to play for Barcelona, and to make it worse he was very vocal about not wanting to sign for any other club. I don’t know what promises were made to him in private but it’s obvious Barcelona used that as motivation to get the best of him in the season and had no real intention of signing him.

Marcus Rashford is a truly talented footballer. If he had the chance to start in the first eleven, I'm sure he would have been among the top scorers, possibly reaching the 20-goal mark. Perhaps leaving the team would be better for his career; if we saw him playing in Germany or Italy, I'm sure he could have performed much better.
He's a very valuable player, but we can't say he had a fully productive season

[Lida93]

The situation seems to be unfair for Rashford that when he give his priority for Barcelona because love to play with this team but surprisingly Hansi Flick choose Gordon which we still cannot know whether this player will be adapted well or not with Barcelona moreover although Gordon is a good player i think 80 million is over priced even if Barcelona want they can gets Rashford much cheaper with guarantee Rashford know how to adapt with this team but i think Rashford should be accept the fact that Barcelona won't permanent his status and it's time for him to look for new clubs for next season but according to the rumour some of Premier league clubs have showed their interest and one of them is Arsenal so, i think if this rumour is true Rashford should be considering the offer from Arsenal because i think this could be a good transfer

Perhaps unfair it seems for you but I wouldn't think it that way because the player knew what he was walking into by contract, it wasn't as though Rashford doesn't know that there was an option for Barcelona to either retain or discontinue with him after the loan expires. Sometimes a player might good and in a positive form but may just not be what the coach desires to make up his team, and this could just be the situation of Rashford with Hansi flick going for Gordon over the English man.
But since he's in a good form I think other bigger team other than Newcastle would come for him before the end of the transfer window.

Bastoni has been rumoured with especially Barcelona a lot honestly. They have said that he is their number one candidate for their defense signings.

But now Chivu says this... Maybe he has been able to be convincing for him to stay. But still the dream of playing for a much bigger team like Barcelona is just something else. 

If Bastoni also dreams of it then they would still have a chance to get him.

All The Big Team are Interested in Bastoni.  But I Think Bastoni Can’t Leave Inter This season maybe we can see has departure Next Season. But this season Chivu trust him and want to play him in the new project as a main Defender . Bastoni was good last season and everyone want him. But every club is turning arroynd has head from bastoni . Barcelona are interested in Bastoni but they are now focusing on Betis player and Man City Guvadiol . Madrid has interested in Bastoni but now singing konate and Dumfries instead of Bastoni. Now day Every Club show little interest in Bastoni right now I don't know why they can't sign the best defender of Italy

[Princess Leah]

Denzel Dumfries is already here we go to Madrid and maybe Konate will follow pending Perez tenure if elected. So Madrid are starting to clean up in the hands of Mourinho because this season's performance has been quite messy at the back. TAA will have to work harder as the right back position currently has many contenders who will fight for the main position.

First signing for Real Madrid under Jose Mourinho and Denzel Dumfries will play for Madrid next season after signing from Inter Milan with transfer fees 20 million euro, I don't think high fees transfer for the most experienced and top players Denzel Dumfries possibility for him players as right defender, holding midfielder or sometime can put him as central defender. Actually signing Denzel Dumfries to back up Trend Arnold position make Jose Mourinho have several option at right defender since leaving by Dani Carvajal, next season the defender have many option after Madrid signing two top players at defender position and avoid classic problem for Madrid when their player getting injury.

I am still waiting the new recruitment Ibrahima Konaté agreement deal based on the regulation he will join Madrid if Florentino Perez winning the election, I don't know if have possibility Perez loss at election has chance for Ibrahima Konaté join to RealMadrid?

I agree that he's worth more than €20 million, and I think he'll be a very good signing precisely because of his pace and explosiveness.
The only thing i've mentioned before in previous posts is whether he'll be able to adapt to la liga. We'll have to wait and see. It's not the same moving from serie a to spain, where the intensity is generally higher and the league is more demanding overall

I keep wondering what would be Trent Alexander Arnold's fate after this cause Dumfries is better and would be the manager's preferred option for left back which would reduce Arnold's playing time so he has to stay and fight for playing time which would be tough against a better defender like Dumfries who is also good at attacking.

 So it's either he leaves or face the challenge. I don't know what Mourinho saw in Konate but I don't trust him to be the right defender for Real Madrid, improving that centerdefense need a Gabriel or Saliba kind of player a some like Lizandro who ain't injury proned and Konate is not of the standard of players I mentioned.

Now day Every Club show little interest in Bastoni right now I don't know why they can't sign the best defender of Italy

I think the main obstacle is the price, Inter have set 70 million euros for teams that want Bastoni, too expensive for a defender, but it's understandable because Inter don't want to lose an important player.
That's why Madrid and Barcelona are slowly backing off, but there are rumors that Barcelona are bidding 50 million euros, I don't know if this is just part of the same Barcelona game that bid for Alvarez or if they really have the money to sign Bastoni.

[blue Snow]

There is absolutely no way that Real Madrid will be able to get Haaland. First of all, even if Haaland wanted to, he still has contract with City, so it's all up to City to decide, and they are not going to let him go, if there are any 200 million euro players in the world, he is one of them, other being maybe Mbappe.

So it's clear that we are not going to see Real Madrid spend 200+ million on Haaland, at which case, City may reject even that if Haaland doesn't pressure and feels like he probably won't. This is just a whole ploy by Riquelme to get the presidency, and the alternative? He said if he can't, then he will pay for subscription or whatever it is, for all the Real Maddrid members, which would be few million euro at most, probably not as much, and paying that is easier.

Rumors about Haaland joining Real Madrid caused quite a stir, and some people even believed them. However, it turns out the rumors were completely false, as Fabrizio Romano recently stated in a video posted on his social media that Haaland’s father, who serves as his agent, never discussed a transfer to Real Madrid. in fact, such a conversation never even took place. So, this is likely just a ploy by Riquelme to rally support so he can be elected as the club’s president. What’s clear is that Haaland will remain at Manchester City, and that has been stated by his father, who serves as his agent.

It's crystal clear that Barcelona doesn't need him, I think Barcelona option for Marcus Rashford to remain there is for Manchester United to reduce his price tag to something £15'000.000, or Manchester United should still loan him to the club with extra one year deal, without any option of buying him, but Manchester United refused, they stand on their ground of getting the actual price or he come back to Manchester United, and the worse part of it is, he's not in Micheal Carrick's plan, so if he should come back to Manchester United he will starting from the bench if given the chance to play, that's exactly the repercussion of betrayal.

That could be the case, but I think if Inter really don't want to lose their defender then Inter will keep the price as the main condition if they want to buy Bastoni.
70 million euros is a fantastic price for a defender, but we don't know who will dare to take such a high price, unless Inter really get more achievements in the champions league this season and Bastoni gets an award, maybe it can be considered again, unfortunately it's not like that.

[Alonso_]

Perez has stated that he is willing to send 150m offer for a player he rated in the same level as CR7. It's really surprising me he's also mentioned if the player won't be PL player or Bundesliga player. He also denied about the rumor that money is for Olise or Kane.

So i can only guess the possible player to reach this value is Dembele or Vitinha.

As far as i know Dembele won D'or and it most probably he's winning it again. So i think 150m player must be him. Other than him, Vitinha is also contributing so much to the PSG's success to b2b UCL champion.

Can you guys guess which player worth 150m which in Galactico level rn?

This people should stop playing games with supporters, I’m completely sure that this player he is talking about is Micheal Olise, well I’m happy that he is interested in the player and I’m going to wish him a goodluck with that ambition of signing him, nothing is unpredictable in football, anything can happen in football, so it’s just better to be ready and prepared in the transfer market for the clubs because we are always going to see some surprised moves in the transfer window and some surprise transfers link, this player that he is talking about is Olise and it’s been confirmed by other media outlets.
