Chelsea team managed to sign raheem sterling from man city, am not very excited about this deal true raheem is a really good and talented player but he plays he is a bit selfish on the pitch and he play solo lot of the time and its not good for the team strategy maybe tuchel will be strict with him or else he might bench him.

It's still a long way from Man United position, which is currently in confusion over Ronaldo. Local news said there was a big offer made to Ronaldo to play in Saudi Arabia. But can Ronaldo give his end there? I know the fee is quite large and from the nominal value, it is clearly not worth the offer to play in the Champions League which has never been obtained. Even though this season's transfer window closes on September 1, 2022, Ronaldo shouldn't delay too long.

Even though this season's transfer window closes on September 1, 2022, Ronaldo shouldn't delay too long.

With Ronaldo's current age, he would not accept any offer to join a club outside of Europe. I am sure, even if there is an offer from an MLS club he will not be willing to accept and join the club. The Saudi Arabian League is not the right place for Ronaldo, especially since Manchester United are no longer going to sell him. Even though he is on the transfer list, Ronaldo will definitely prioritize teams in Europe.

[Pulsar77]

Ronaldo has got a really huge offer from that Saudi Arabia club but I still doubt that he would accept this offer. Because his target is not to play for a club out of Europe now. He wants to play for a club that are going to compete in the Champions League next season. Taking this into account I don't expect him to accept it. I hope that he will find a proper club for himself in Europe. His current salary can be a big obstacle for many clubs though but maybe he might accept some amount of pay cut too.

This transfer was over before, but Raheem Sterling officially joined the team today. I don't think anyone would pay a 60 million dolar transfer fee for a substitute. I have no doubt that Thomas Tuchel will have special plans for him. Thomas Tuchel could use Raheem Sterling as a second striker, use him as a winger, maybe use him as something else... But I have no doubt that he has special plans for him.

Chelsea is really firing on all cylinders. Makes sense though, their whole defence is changing going into next season.

With Koulibaly and Ake all but agreed, seems like Kounde will be the 3rd incoming defender. With Sterling already there - I have to say that on paper they look really strong.

Still - they will need time to gel - especially in defence. If they don't start winning early - City and Liverpool will take advantage.

Honestly I like the idea behind these recruitments. Tuchel is currently targeting a wide range of centre-backs and players in the market, so it is hard to get a clear idea about his system for the upcoming season. Regardless of the formation, I believe Koulibaly will be an asset on the pitch. Koulibaly would be the perfect injection of experience and leadership the team needs following Rudiger's departure. The defense now has Thiago Silva and Koulibaly. They’re more experienced and adaptation won’t be difficult since they have played at a top level.

Mason Mount is expecting a long-term contract offer from Chelsea at the moment. His current contract is expiring in 2024. I think that Mount is one of the players who absolutely deserves a new contract now. Long time ago I heard an interest from Manchester United to sign him but there is none now. Chelsea had better secure his future here by making his wish come true. Having him and Sterling both will be very beneficial for them in terms of scoring goals. Productivity is a very important thing for a team like Chelsea.

Manchester United are finally finishing their centre-back transfer with Lisandro Martinez. Arsenal seem like no longer a rival for them in this race. Manchester United are expected to pay 43 million pounds to sign him. After this transfer they will need to sign a midfielder also. I don't know about Frenkie de Jong yet as Barcelona are still not too willing to sell him. But if Manchester United are ready to pay the amount Barcelona want then this deal is likely to happen. But Manchester United would need to pay a sum like 85 million euros in total.

Finally we will see Maguire on the bench, .
Some source said that Barcelona has already agreed about the price and other stuff, but the big obstacle is still Frankie de Jong personal choice, he seems eager to stay in Barcelona, but then again he doesn't want any salary cut.

https://metro.co.uk/2022/07/14/man-utd-reach-agreement-with-barcelona-over-frenkie-de-jong-transfer-16998658/

I didn't even see him on the bench and the list of players written on the bench for Maguire, but still in this case he will still be Captain for next season according to Erik Ten Hag's words who officially announced that Harry Maguire will remain Manchester United captain .
If it's true about De Jong staying then I think this is one of the wrong decisions, especially with Barcelona's current condition.

[ingiltere]

Arsenal want Oleksandr Zinchenko, well that's what I call a good move. He's one of the best left backs you can get right now. Manchester City is open for offers for him. I wouldn't sell Zinchenko but they think about buying Marc Cucurella from Brighton for left back position, so that transfer may happen. If that happens all three clubs may be happy. I don't know if Cucurella has potential to be better than Zinchenko though. I'd like to see Zinchenko under Arsenal shirt, that would definitely boost championship or finishing in top three chances of them.

It looks like he is quite comfortable at Chelsea and is looking forward to a longer contract now.
Actually, if you look at his performance this season, I think he is very good and has indeed become one of the important players for Chelsea.
His role in midfield is still very much needed and I still feel that it will be easy to pass because Chelsea still need him.

We don't know what Ronaldo plans for his career. It is very possible that he will play out of Europe. But it seems not in the near future. So, I agree with you that he is likely to reject the offer from Saudi Arabia club. Ronaldo needs a competitive club that plays in UCL and quite strong in the local league because he wants to play at his best level. And he wants to keep his good performance to always perform well in his national team as well. If he plays in Saudi Arabia league, it may decrease his performance.

[BIT-BENDER]

I just learnt that Cristiano Ronaldo turned down the chance to be the highest earner in sport history after rejecting and offer from the Middle East. Well I understand Cristiano Ronaldo skepticism even with such huge figures he still chooses being relevant than money, and it’s quite smart. The moment Cristiano Ronaldo decides to play out of Europe I think his reign as a playing force would diminish, so I hope he finds a club in Europe soon.

Chelsea are rumoured with many defenders currently. Kimpembe is among these candidates also. However I don't think that PSG will be eager to sell him to Chelsea. Because he is already a regular player in the starting eleven of PSG. The biggest candidate for now is Nathan Ake now. Manchester City are already willing to let him go and they think of bringing Kounde to his place. It looks like Chelsea will complete the signing of Nathan Ake soon.

After successfully getting Kalidou Koulibaly, it looks like Chelsea still wants to bring in a few more defenders. But I'm a bit surprised by the rumors
that Chelsea will buy Presnel Kimpembe, because as you said Kimpembe is the first choice at PSG, so it was very difficult for Chelsea to get Kimpembe.
It makes the most sense if Chelsea are eyeing Nathan Ake, because at Man City, Ake is not Guardiola's first choice and is often on the bench.
So most likely in the near future Chelsea will get Ake. Moreover, it is reported that Man City's negotiations with Chelsea for the transfer of Nathan Ake
are running smoothly and are starting to approach an agreement.

But regarding the purchase of Kimpembe it seems difficult to be realized, but it is very natural that Tuchel really wants Kimpembe, because when
he was still PSG manager Tuchel had worked with Kimpembe. So Tuchel understands Kimpembe's ability and believes Kimpembe can strengthen
Chelsea's back line. We'll see what happens in the future, whether Chelsea can convince PSG to sell Kimpembe, what is certain is that Kimpembe's
price is very expensive if PSG are willing to sell him.

I think chelsea is preparing to form a very strong defensive position because they have a very large team of defenders and must be used well, the possible position that chelsea will use is 5-3-2, this is the best defensive position because it will make opponents Difficult to penetrate when you have this many defenders. if it is seen to prepare against PSG which usually uses a 3-4-3 formation, then chelsea took the right decision to increase defenders.

The latest news about Nathan Ake's transfer is that Chelsea agreed to pay £45 million. It seems to get a deal, Man City is likely to be satisfied with the current offer. Since Chelsea already got a personal agreement with the player, it is only about time to wait for Chelsea official announcement related to signing Nathan Ake. I assume Chelsea doesn't need another center-back if they successfully sign Ake from Man City. So, the rumor about Chelsea interest in Kimpembe will be over. It is true that Kimpembe is the main player of PSG, they won't let Kimpembe leaves.

Finally we will see Maguire on the bench, .

I was wondering if Man United actually plan on keeping him after releasing a lot of players hehe. I'm pretty sure many fans will be disappointed if he's still part of the squad next season but they may at least find it a compromise if the club has better defenders coming in. Let's see if starting from the bench lit a fire in his belly.

He has a pretty large contract and a long one so i think he will be here for a long time. No body also dosent want to buy him or even get him for a lower fee. He played so bad that no body wants him so i feel kind of sad for him that he made so many mistakes

That's what I was thought actually but I read there was an offer from Barcelona as part of the trade with De Jong. Maybe the deal wasn't that favorable so Man U turned it down.

Why feel sad? He's been in a lot of football memes and gets bashed but he can simply shrug it off while enjoying his money hehe.

....
Maguire had been retained as Man Utd captain so that put the speculations of being confined to the bench to rest,

Seriously? Naming him a captain doesn't really mean anything. Erik can always name a new one after a week or a month so that doesn't guarantee him any starting position.

[AndySt]

First of all, I would say that it is an honor to perform in the Champions League. But if Ronaldo can't win the title, then how did Ronaldo benefit from here? He has performed in several Champions Leagues in Juventus' jersey. The results were not as expected. He did not do well with Manchester United. I don't think he will win the Champions League if he joins a new team. If the bonding between the players is not good, winning the Champions League title is impossible. It is foolish to think that Ronaldo will win the Champions League title by joining a new team.

Yes, you're right, that bonding between players in a team also matters a lot and it goes a long way in boosting team performance. A player like Christiano Ronaldo who has been a victim of envy from other team members will need more time probably more than a season to get bonded with other players if he joins a new team. To compete in the champions league they will have to work hard and either win the Europa League or finish top 4 next season.

Oh, yes, if Ronaldo still stays at Manchester United and together with the team achieves the right to play in the Champions League for next season or even wins trophies, then there will be no point in changing the team next season. Therefore, this story is at least for a couple of seasons, if right now the paths of Ronaldo and MU do not diverge. Indeed, just changing the team does not guarantee winning the Champions League, but still at least gives a chance for it, which is impossible in the case of Manchester United in the coming season As the example of Real Madrid last season shows, miracles are possible even when the bonding between the players in the team is not quite perfect

[Velvet78]

Now it is said in some sources that Frenkie de Jong is thinking of a move outside Barcelona now but it isn't to Manchester United. However I don't believe this. The deal between Barcelona and Manchester United is still going on. If they find a middle way I think that this deal can still happen. Manchester United need a player like him in the defensive midfield position.

He is the first purchase for this session, this means Chelsea is a bit too slow to move. I think Chelsea looks different when still the old owner where it's quite a splurge to spend on expensive players, with this situation I believe, Chelsea does not have enough ammunition to compete with other clubs, City, Liverpool even with middle stand club Arsenal and MU.

Exactly, they are quite slow enough, but this may be better than only making a transfer but nothing different. Chelsea must have their criteria to do that and still face some problems related to the next players to come to Chelsea. However, Tuchel may not be interested to get Ronaldo for their attacking lines.
Yes, truly they may need more defense to strengthen their back liners. And now, they have Kalidou Koulibaly as their new center back after its signing transfer from Napoli.
