[DISCUSSION] Football Transfers Speculation and confirmed news.

[vegasus]

Aston Villa already signed some players. Although they didn't sign top players but I think they are quite smart to choose good players with cheap prices. Yes, they performed amazing in the last season, they could finish in the 4th place (UCL zone). Besides Aston Villa is ambitious, they also have good squad. I am very interesting with their midfielders, there are some popular names on the line. Aston Villa also has a strong striker, Ollie Watkins. This player becomes very popular now because many teams are trying to sign him. But he must stay because he wants to play in UCL with Aston Villa. Let's hope Aston Villa can perform as well as the last season.

Well, hopefully the preparations they have made can bring maximum results in the next season. I will also be very curious about their performance in the upcoming UCL. Last season, I actually never expected to see Aston Villa rise so quickly in the Premier League standings and manage to finish in a good place, namely in the UCL zone. I will look forward to other surprises from this team. Last season they made a surprise in the Premier League and they could also make a surprise in the UCL in the coming season.

Yes, they entered the top 4 last season and this is a very good achievement in the midst of the tight competition between big clubs in the EPL. So this season, of course they will also fight as optimally as possible to be in the top 4 again or even much better. It's just that this will certainly not be that easy, we know some previous clubs like Newcastle who also entered the top 4 and in the end actually dropped a lot in the next season. Hopefully this will not happen to Aston Villa. Although indeed, there are some of their players who moved clubs, such as Moussa Diaby and others, so this will be a challenge for Unay Emery. because in any case, they are also trying to bring in players who are at least equal to the departure of several players from the club so that the club remains strong and can compete optimally this season.

Last two season, Premier League top big four always difference from Newcastle United on season 2023/24 success finished as the big four and last season have opportunity for Aston Villa get UEFA Champion League spot after securing the fourth standings place. I believe for next season has difference big four of Premier League but the three teams Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool will secure the Champion League spot and left between Spur, Manchester United, Aston Villa or Newcastle United has opportunity or not.
Premier League most compete every season although last five season Manchester City success won 4 primer league trophies back to back, will season 2024/25 Manchester City dominance will over?

Leverkusen is interested in borrowing Arda Guler at Real Madrid, but it seems that it will never happen because Real Madrid itself wants to keep Arda Guller in the squad.

Arda Guler will develop greatly under Xabi Alonso, and will also be having the champions league experience as a player his age that he will not get in Real Madrid because he will most of the time just be a substitute player to the more matured options that Ancelotti has. Yamal has a lot of playing time in Barcelona, and he also will this new season because he has solidified his claim to that role after proving himself in the league and National level. If Arda Guler is to be taken seriously, he needs to play more games and Leverkusen will give him that. Real Madrid are not loosing this player, they are merely loaning him out to become better, and to me that benefits them the more.

We don't know for sure what Ancelotti plans, because he could also give a lot of playing opportunities to this young player and if that happens then I think it would be better to stay at Real Madrid.

However, we speculate that Arda Guler will be on the bench a lot because the competition is very tight to get a main place. With that assumption and Leverkusen can give him more playing minutes, then I agree that being with Leverkusen can add to his experience.

Arda Guler have many compete for his position from Rodrygo, Brahim Diaz until Vaverde but he can perform well when getting opportunity as regular position. I believe next season he will get more minutes playing than in this season due first half season got injured.
Carlo Ancelotti have good tactician when moving some players from their original position, its not problem after leaving by Nacho and Toni Kroos because last season when Madrid faced problem with many injured on defender he move down Aurélien Tchouaméni from holding midfielder become defender as partner for Antonio Rudiger.

AC Milan's got some wheels in motion, they silently formed a competitive squad.
Rossoneri signed a giant defender from RB Salzburg, Strahinja Pavlovic.
After Pavlović. Emerson Royal could be the next one to join Milan and I'm not surprised they're after Royal, he's a solid player. Sounds like an upgrade to me
I hope we'll see those talks on Monday yield some good news for the Rossoneri.

Congratulations to AS Roma who have once again succeeded in getting potential young players for their team. namely Matias Soule Malvano. This young player was released by Juventus after previously being loaned to Frosinone last season. AS Roma will definitely be able to make this player more optimal in their squad. Because I believe De Rossi will be able to do it. And not only that, AS Roma is also targeting one of Girona's best players, namely Artam Dovbyk. Even As Roma seems to have made an offer for this player.

What makes you feel that Liverpool will be among top three, I will not give account of their performance currently with the change of a new coach. Manchester united might qualify for UCL next two seasons because Ten Hag will be able to make United finish on top four next season and I have the strong feelings of this happening.

Barcelona seems to intend to sell one of their young strikers, namely Vitor Roque. In fact, this young player recently joined the Barcelona squad. Even though the contract was made last season. But he only officially joined in 2024. But it looks like he is trying to be released to one of the Saudi Arabian clubs, namely Al-Hilal. But Vitor Roque rejected the offer from Al-hilal. So Barcelona may have to look for another club that the player can also accept. Barcelona seems to need additional fresh funds in the transfer market. And maybe by releasing these players to Arab clubs they hope to make a profit and be able to buy the new players they are after. But it seems that the player has no intention of leaving the club. And I would even like it if Vitor stayed at Barcelona.

Well, when Arda Guler was given the opportunity, he often showed good performances, so that was a positive value for him, because when given trust he could answer it well.

Currently the rumor is still unclear, because Real Madrid itself has said that it is not interested in letting Arda Guler go even as a loan player. But in football it can change depending on the situation they face. So let's just enjoy the rumors that are happening.

This guy is supposed to be the new “Suarez” according to Barca fans
Barca fans hyped him a lot but Barcelona ruined his first year, they don't want to give him a chance to prove himself.
That is unfair given that he hasn't got almost any chance to play.
And I agree, it would be better if Vitor stayed at Barcelona.

Manchester united might qualify for UCL next two seasons because Ten Hag will be able to make United finish on top four next season and I have the strong feelings of this happening.

It will not be an easy job for ETH. Manchester United still does not have the best squad depth that can comfortably take them all through the season. Hojlund and Yoro have injury scares; imagine if the season has started and they have some key players like Yoro, Martinez, Hojlund injured. It can affect the whole season.

ESR has agreed to move to Fulham from Arsenal, and that will give Arsenal the chance to get Mikel Merino to the Emirates, making him our third signing for the transfer window.

I don't know why people are having high expectation of Erik Ten Hang and Manchester United because of just two average signings. Two signings is not enough to give Manchester United the squad depth they need to compete for the top 4 of the English Premier League. As Ruchiman has said, Yoro and Hojlund are already injured even before the start of the season. What will be their fate when the season starts?
Players like;
Martinez;
Luke Shaw;
Malacia;
Varane
Are all injury players that may disappear immediately the season starts. If such a thing happens, what will be the fate of Manchester United. If Manchester United really want to contest this year, they should simply reinforce their team the more.

correct. Vitor is indeed a striker who actually has great potential if he is given more opportunities. On several occasions when he was given playing time, this player was able to score 2 goals for the team. I hope that in the coming season this player can be given more playing time. so he can show the qualities he has. He is still young and will be able to continue to develop into a better player. But Hansi Flick will definitely give this player a chance. Because even in the pre-season match we saw Vitor Roque given the opportunity to be in the starting eleven. even though it's only in pre-season.

Barcelona continues preparations for the new campaign with a pre-season clash against Manchester City at the Camping World Stadium, Score is 2-2
And in this friendly game,  Academy players never let  Barca down. Pau Victor looks very sharp, has good touches, and makes intelligent runs.
This is a kid's legacy game, a great game from Vitor Roque too
I like to see Roque in the CF position, Lewandowski doesn't have the pace anymore.

Yes now I have heard the statement from Pep Guardiola himself that Kevin De Bruyne will not leave and will stay with Manchester City for 1 more season because that is the remaining contract. A contract extension is still possible if this season performs better and even the contract will be added for another season.

But I will not deny that players who are old, it is common that their performance will drop including from the way of running that starts to get tired due to age, while we know the EPL match is tight if they lose the run or are not agile they can be left behind.

Yep, Guardiola wants him to stay because De Bruyne has a crucial role in Man City team. The strategy/tactics made by Guardiola can be worked well if Man City has De Bruyne in the lineup. I think it wont be easy to find out the replacement for De Bruyne, thats why Guardiola doesn't want to lose him. Moreover, De Bruyne still can play with his best, why don't to extend his contract for another seasons? 

De Bruyne is 33 years old, I think it is not too old age. A top player can play with their best performance until 35 years old. Even Modric in Real Madrid is already 38 years old and Real Madrid still extends his contract. So, nothing wrong to keep De Bruyne in Man City. I think Guardiola knows well about this.
