Although psg have many players who can still contribute, but the team still depends on mbappe's performance. Real Madrid can afford to pay whatever it takes to acquire mbappe because the team needs someone who can score more goals and win more trophies, and I believe mbappe is very good at doing that. However, based on the news I'm hearing, mbappe isn't leaving psg at this time.
The fact that PSG has previously made mbappe a sizable offer is what has kept him from leaving the team after this season, but I think mbappe will unquestionably leave the squad next season.

that means Mbappe only plays the remainder of his contract with PSG, and that could be a loss for PSG if Mbappe is on a free transfer.
I don't think PSG will let that happen. if Madrid are willing to pay high enough, I think Madrid can get Mbappe. but if Mbappe gets a new deal with PSG. then Madrid shouldn't expect it anymore after it happened like that before.

Modric is still here till next year. Romano has been confirming if modric has been agreed with 1 year extension from real madrid. https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1673270393132425220

Im really happy to see him stay in real madrid even though he was old enough to play in the professional football. His performance is rarely disappointing for madrid fans. he was also able bringing croatian to go to the final but lose against spain.
Modric showed his loyalty as a player by rejecting the biggest offers from the Arabian club and staying even longer in Real Madrid. He is very loyal as a player.

Well done modric, you can be a teacher for bellingham too. Your experience with be help him a lot to develop himself to be the greatest midfielder in the future.

This is the same as last season, PSG and Real Madrid both offered big money to Mbappe and now the decision rests with the player, I don't think any team is willing to let go of their players on a free transfer let alone an expensive player like Mbappe.
I hope that this season Mbappe's transfer will really meet a bright path and it is my great hope that he can move to Real Madrid, this is all to be able to improve Mbappe's career because if he stays at PSG then it is very difficult for his career development to be different if he is in the Real team. Madrid.

It is up to Mbappe, not up to the clubs. He wants to get all the money he can and if he was willing to let some of it on the table, he would already be in Madrid. While the transfer fee at the moment is too high for Real Madrid, PSG is not willing to go any lower as Mbappe wants more money from PSG when he leaves. It is odd to me but he could also offer some concession to make the whole transfer easier but it is again the poker game we know from Mbappe.

Just as I expected Lewandowski also got an offer by Saudi Arabian teams. But thankfully he didn't accept the offer according to news. I wasn't expecting him to leave Europe this early after joining Barcelona truthfully. I will be expecting to see him play for at least one more season and then he might start thinking of his exit from the team for a new adventure.

Meanwhile Barcelona had better work harder to be better in the Champions League while they have Lewandowski. It isn't easy to find a special striker like him these days but they haven't been able to do much in the Champions League group stage so far. I hope to see some improvement next season and hopefully Lewandowski can lead the team to a bigger success. I know he wasn't impressive against big teams there in the previous season but I expect him to return much stronger thanks to his experience as well.

He is still comfortable at Barcelona, especially the impressive performances he showed in his first season playing for Barcelona in La Liga. With looks like that, Lewandowski has decided on the right thing, except that money is his top priority at the moment. He refused, meaning he is not thinking about money yet and prefers to stay with Barcelona to continue his career in Europe for the next few seasons. But maybe decisions will change over time and maybe in the next transfer market he changes his mind, it's possible.

Modric is still here till next year. Romano has been confirming if modric has been agreed with 1 year extension from real madrid. https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1673270393132425220

Modric is a player that Real Madrid still really needs to provide experience and also provide motivation for the young players currently at Real Madrid. Even though he is not young anymore, in appearance he is like other young players, he moves quickly, even though there is a decline.
Real Madrid are not ready if they have to leave their senior players, because even though the young players they have are showing very good progress, they still need guidance from senior players, especially in terms of mentality.

Lewandowski is enjoying good times at Barcelona and of course El Barca must always make the striker comfortable. I am sure that in the near future Lewandowski will not change his mind about joining the Saudi League even though he is offered a double salary.

The arrival of Gundogan can also be a strong reason for Lewandowski to stay at Camp Nou. And the two of them will definitely collaborate to bring Barcelona back to glory in La Liga and in the Champions League. I see that the Blaugrana have started to bounce back even though financially they are still not stable.

[Ahli38]

If Mbappe leaves PSG this summer he has a condition in his contract. As far as I know PSG will have to pay an amount like 150-200 million euros due to this condition. Therefore even if he leaves now PSG can't make a big profit in this transfer. They are in a really problematic situation as a result. But let's say PSG sold him for over 200 million euros then it is still better than letting him go for free.

I wonder whether Real Madrid are interested in paying that much money and sign him already. They can just be patient for six months to sign a pre-agreement contract with Mbappe in the end. I think they wouldn't rush things while there is such opportunity.

Correct. Maybe it would be better for Real Madrid to be patient until Mbappe's contract expires in 2024.  Currently PSG is definitely struggling to negotiate with Mbappe's party to add to the contract. Because PSG definitely don't want to lose Mbappe for free next season. But the decision taken by Mbappe, who still wants to stay at PSG until his contract ends, certainly makes PSG confused. Because what PSG wants is for Mbappe to stay and extend his contract. And Real Madrid, which has been targeting Mbappe since last season, certainly wants Mbappe more than any other club. It's just that if Mbappe doesn't renew his contract at PSG then getting him for free next season is a more profitable path. It's just that the problem is that those who want Mbappe are not just Real Madrid. so I think Real Madrid should be braver to pay more than any other club.

I think Real Madrid will not rush this transfer. Real Madrid has made no hasty transfers to date. Maybe Real Madrid will show their maximum patience in taking Mbappe into the team. After the summer transfer market closes, the winter transfer market opens again six months later, when Real Madrid can sign Mbappe in a relaxed manner. Real Madrid and Mbappe may have discussed this matter. It is only a matter of time before Mbappe joins Real Madrid.

I agree with you. Real Madrid management will not rush any player into the squad. Because Madrid management is very conscious about spending money. For the last 3/4 seasons, they have waited to sign Mbappe. Mbappe joined Madrid. And Mbappe's contract with PSG is set to expire next season. Mbappe has no interest in renewing his contract with PSG. And so next season Real Madrid is probably going to get Mbappe for free. And so the Madrid management is unlikely to add any new strikers to the squad this season after spending so much money.

Real Madrid's target now is only on Mbappe. Real Madrid are willing to wait but are not willing to replace Mbappe. Because last season we saw that Real Madrid waited until the end for Mbappe but even after waiting they didn't take any player into the team that season. After letting go of Karim Benzema this season, they were waiting to maybe get Mbappe in the team this season but maybe this season too, Real Madrid might have to wait for the French star. Because Mbappe can join Real Madrid as a free transfer agent when the club's contract with Mbappe expires next season. So maybe Real Madrid is not willing to spend any extra money for Mbappe this season. Real Madrid has become a successful team because of the careful selection of players.

Gradually, Mbape influence is trying to turn Spain and European leagues into Saudi Arabia leagues, $200m is a lot of money to be used to sign a player who doesn't have a single Champions League trophy, it was the same PSG that gave him a big contract, they should deal with whatever amount they were able to sell him to any potential players, they are even making his move becomes difficult but I know for sure that they will see to him been sold than been giving out as a free agent.

However, Mbabe and PSG are also feeling the heat of letting this new deal in the table, I don't think Real Madrid will be willing to bid that guy for $200, the three of them need each other and they will come to agreement and Real Madrid is the only player in Spain that is capable of buying Mbabe and giving him a great wages and it will also enhance his career because in less than 2 years, I believe he will have his first Champions League from Real Madrid if the deal comes in agreement.

The transfer market is still open about two months away, there is still enough time for the club to continue negotiating until they get an agreement, because of course, PSG does not want to release this player with the status of a free agent because it is certainly not profitable for PSG.
Mbappe's to Real Madrid will open up opportunities for him to get more achievements than at PSG so it is certainly very desirable for Mbappe to be able to move, he can get achievements in European competition not only domestically, we wait in two months what news finally appears about the status of this player, playing at Real Madrid will make him even more highlighted, what's more, Real Madrid do need a striker after Benzema went to the Saudi Pro League.

Football is one of the entertained and popular sport in the world, it's a big game and watching players having a stellar display on the pitch is fantastic and stunning. Spanish clubs, specifically Barcelona are having good moments with their players because Saudi gigantic offers are not any where close to the players. Robert Lewandowski have no intentions to exits Camp Nou, he's here for long term contract and we should give him the required supports. Xavi Hernandez always had the Poland international in his budget, and he delivered the club whenever the need arises. Moreover the arrival of IIkay Gundogan would give the striker more goal scoring opportunities.

Mbappe could be released if he plays for PSG for another season and PSG will not ask for this free leave. They're working hard for him, but if Mbappe doesn't see a big increase in his salary, PSG's effort will be wasted and they will lose Mbappe after one season.

I don't think Real Madrid will pay such a high transfer fee. Of course, if a very high offer comes from Saudi Arabia, they miss Mbappe. I think Real Madrid should make a serious decision about Mbappe this season or they will miss it.

We know Lewandoski's potential and his accomplishments. He is utterly great. The problem with Barcelona lies within something else. That is why İlkay Gündogan's transfer is quite important. He could be so good for Lewandowski's performance also. Contrary to the general belief, I think that he can make a difference with his experience and talent. He is a very high football player. Its contribution to both the game and the score is high, which is a perfect profile for such teams. He played and captained City for years without deteriorating his quality. Now he is going to maybe the biggest club in the world. İlkay left the club, maybe because of the salary difference that was given to him, or because of Pep's plan to replace him with another football player. Nevertheless it could be a great transfer for Barça.

Seeing Mbappe decision not to extend his contract with PSG made him believe he would have the opportunity to leave PSG.  indeed real madrid is his goal because i believe he has big dreams of winning the ucl trophy and psg can't make that happen. Well, if Real Madrid wanted to bring in Mbappe in this transfer window, of course, Real Madrid would spend quite a lot of money, but I don't think Real Madrid will do that this season. They will make an offer to mbappe in the winter transfer window at a lower price.

Perez seems to know when to move forward for mbappe as he doesn't want this signing to be rushed. At because Mbappe has given a definite signal that he will not extend a new contract with PSG which allows Real Madrid to get Mbappe in the next transfer window at a cheaper price because his contract period is getting closer.

I just read the news which quite surprised me. Because my previous estimate was that Real Madrid might delay signing Mbappe due to the current high transfer fee. and it would be even better to get him for free next season when Mbappe's contract with PSG runs out.

But it seems my guess was wrong about that. Because I just got a news notification about the President of Real Madrid, Florentino Perez, who finally decided to recruit Mbappe immediately. Because it is reported that Los Blancos' management will agree to redeem Mbappe's transfer from PSG for 250 million euros. I think this is really a very brave move and also very good for the future of Real Madrid and also for Mbappe's future. but I don't know whether this news is true or not.
News Local I read : Sourch

[KTChampions]

European football has long been experiencing problems with profitability, and by the way, the influence of oil money has already existed for many years - but before, the sheiks invested in clubs (killing all other medium and small clubs along the way) and this was more or less acceptable since it was an investment in European football. But now they are investing in their league and heating up the salary market so much that even the top clubs can't afford what they need (like Bayern or most of the top Italians, which are much poorer than the rich clubs). In Europe, they are now discussing the salary cap, but I don’t know how this can be implemented when, in addition to internal intercountry competition, there is now external competition. This is really a huge problem.

The thing about limiting wages is of course something that might have to be realized too because after all, if there is no limit then of course the top players will be able to demand even higher salaries. Meanwhile, economic growth does not seem to increase quickly and may also not balance the growth. But yes, even though currently Arab businessmen and/or investors are moving to improve their own football but in reality, there are still many who will still be involved in big European clubs because they have started it first.

European football is attractive because it is the undisputed top 1. All the best players are here, and if someone is not here, then it can be said that he does not exist  This is something like the NHL (not in terms of business but in terms of uniqueness). All record statistics all real history is the history of football in Europe, even Pelé's fans admit that his goals in yard competitions in Brazil are not at all of such value when we talk about goals in Europe.
Now imagine that this situation breaks down - even if 10% of the undisputed top players play in another league (even if for money). It will destroy the entire system. I don't know where this will lead.

as I said before that Mbappe has a dream of getting the champions league title so he decided not to extend the contract and in this situation PSG will take advantage of the conditions of selling at a very high price. but unfortunately it looks like Real Madrid have plans to be able to take Mbappe but don't use too much money because they know that Mbappe wanted to join Real Madrid a long time ago.
and I will be more than happy if Mbappe can join Real Madrid because his career will be better if he can qualify for the champions league.

And I don't blame the young player for his dream of winning the champions league the last time Madrid wanted to go to Real Madrid but PSG increase his pay and he later changed his mind, I think the young man now wants to chase his dream, and since he has a lot of potential in him I feel he will do better in real Madrid, and him not extending his contract has an advantage to the club, since football don't just involve games alone but also involves business for clubs to make money out of there players, among my favorite young players Mbappe is already part of it and I feel everyone will be happy if he joins Real Madrid since they have not finalized let us see what the outcome will be, but am sure he go from his actions I feel his mind his already made up to leave.

[Ayers]

As for Eden Hazard MLS or Saudi Arabian League can really be the best places for him from now on. He hasn't even played even properly for Real Madrid since the day he was signed by the club. Injuries just ended his career during this time period. If I'm not mistaken he has missed 78 matches in total since the 2019/2020 season. I can say it wouldn't be easy for him to adapt to English Premier League football either as I see some people talking about such transfer probability.
He should just focus on where he can make more money from now on. Who knows maybe he would think of retirement after playing in one of those leagues for a couple of years.

Persistent injuries have definitely ruined his career, Hazard's market value has dropped to 5 million, and not surprisingly, that no one wants to have a player on their team who spends most of the season in the infirmary due to injuries. He has a contract with Real Madrid until 2024, I have no doubt that Real Madrid would be willing to sell him, but at this price it's like giving him away for free...

It is going to be a total waste. Buying someone for  $107 million, and in the end, selling him for only 5 million is an absolute joke. Especially when the player has almost never played, to be honest. I have actually forgotten the last time I saw Hazard play. I don’t know if Real Madrid is willing to sell him right now. I don’t know what they are going to do with the 5 million that they are going to get for him.

At the same time, they are also not going to keep him on the team. Because quite frankly they cannot use him. I think the best move is to sell him because it doesn’t make sense to keep him on the team and pay him his salary when he is injured most of the time.

Sociedad had really a great season in LaLiga this year and they were close at some point to actually secure 3rd place but ATL.Madrid really ended in a high note with victories on the line which pushed Sociedad back on 4th position which is still great for the club. Now , it seems they want to rerun this season by making important transfers and also keeping the key players in the squad but this proves that the club is ready to trow the big money into transfers.

For me , I hope Valencia finally wakes up and decides to start and make some transfers but also they can let some old players go because at this point , they cannot help to revitalize Valencia who really needs a great season in order to regain hope for both the club but also for the fans. So far...everything seems quiet on Valencia side which is not great at all .

Yes, Sociedad last season was in impressive performance, although they ended up in 4th place but at least they succeeded in securing the UCL ticket. They are currently getting a player who looks like he will be able to defend and will help Alejandro Remiro, because I think Hamari Traoré can definitely defend the back line very well. Also as you said at the moment they are also retaining key players for the new season, of course this situation will might an advantage to them to continue their good performance again in the upcoming season.

I haven't found any exciting rumors regarding Valencia, but I also hope they can find some young players in the transfer window, so they can strengthen their squad depth for the next season. Previously they were lucky to stay in La Liga, next season they cannot depend on luck because I hope they must to be really consistent.

Also as you said at the moment they are also retaining key players for the new season, of course this situation will might an advantage to them to continue their good performance again in the upcoming season.

Sociedad finally will return to champion league and last time they playing at this competition 10 years ago and Imanol Alguacil as the current coach has been successfully to make Sociedad became an tough team and since he was arrived to Sociedad on 2018 Sociedad has make good progress under him and last season is one of Alguacil best achievement because he can bringing Sociedad to finish at 4th place

But Sociedad did not automatically to playing at group stage because they had to go through a qualification round but i believe they can able to beat their opponent and qualified to group stage and last season Sociedad can able to beat several strong teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona and even Sevilla and Sociedad also quite strong during playing for  home matches but unfortunately on europa league Sociedad have to eliminated by Roma at round of 16
