what the fuck!!!!!!!!! fuck PGMOL outrageous this cunt is allowed to ever again ref a game of ours

Marcus Bettinelli is 30yo and homegrown Born: May 24, 1992 and surely we sell either Kepa or Mendy

HG slot on cheap wages

could have had him for around £30m or so last summer and his salary would have been one third or so what Koulibaly's is, for example £50m or so total cost over 4 years versus KK's £95m total cost over 4 years 4 years from now Kone will be 25, turning 26 in May 4 years from now KK will be 35, turning 36 in June and that is just one of our shit buys just what we lost in transfer value from AC and Rudiger leaving on frees due to shit contractual management would have covered Kone's entire 4 year cost and likely had £30m or more left over do not even get me started on Lukaku or CuCu, etc

Chelsea: Potter has his own Saka in Tudor Mendel-Idowu The precocious youth has been in fine form at youth level.. https://www.footballfancast.com/Chelsea-graham-potter-bukayo-saka-tudor-mendel-idowu-opinion-premier-league/ Chelsea have been poor this season, despite the lucrative expenditure on the transfer front over the past year, with the west London outfit languishing in mid-table mediocrity and out of both domestic cup competitions. Graham Potter replaced previous manager Thomas Tuchel in the early phases of the campaign with the Premier League club on a downward trend, but fortunes have only recently seen sunlight after a wretched run of form. The Blues had won three successive matches, and clinched qualification to the Champions League quarter-finals, where holding champions Real Madrid await, before Everton snatched a draw at Stamford Bridge before the international break, with the Toffees' homegrown talent Ellis Simms scoring a brutish goal to restore parity. Simms' strike was a reminder of the impact youth can have, with some of the Premier League's greatest current gems graduates of respective youth academies - Phil Foden dazzles for Manchester City after plying his formative years at the club, the same can be said for Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold; the most arresting individual at present, however, is surely Arsenal sensation Bukayo Saka, who has been integral in his side's title-chasing campaign. Drawing comparisons to the Gunners' prodigy, Cobham starlet Tudor Mendel-Idowu is pushing for an increase in responsibility at Chelsea, flourishing at youth level. Who is Tudor Mendel-Idowu? Mendel-Idowu is the encapsulation of precocity; a Kings Scholar at the prestigious Eton Academy, the 18-year-old has also been riding the crest of a wave throughout his maiden footballing years, signing for Chelsea's academy when was a child and hailed as "talented" and a winger who "possesses great dribbling ability and is often in the right places to score goals" by the club's official website. Often utilised as a central attacking midfielder or on the right flank, the burgeoning star has been in emphatic form this season, scoring four goals and supplying two assists from nine displays in the U18 Premier League and making an appearance in the EFL Trophy, coming off the bench against League One outfit Peterborough United. Dubbed a "remarkable" prospect by Chelsea writer Matt Addison, Mendel-Idowu looks a genuine prospect for Potter to consider, nurturing his skills over the next few years and emulating established stars such as Reece James, Mason Mount, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Tammy Abraham in graduating from the side's youth ranks. Having scored three goals from four appearances for England U17s, the fleet-footed dynamo is on the way to prominence on the professional scene, especially after indeed bearing a semblance to the imperious Saka, with one writer saying "Chelsea already have their own Bukayo Saka" when talking of the Cobham ace. Saka rose through the ranks at Arsenal's Hale End academy before emerging as a prominent and paramount component of Mikel Arteta's system, having made 169 appearances and scoring 36 goals and 39 assists, winning the FA Cup and now en route to clinching Premier League glory. This season, with Arsenal atop the Premier League table, the 22-year-old has scored 12 goals and supplied ten assists from 28 appearances, hailed as "electric" by Statman Dave and is valued at £106m by CIES Football Observatory, one of the most coveted gems in world football. If Chelsea provides a similar platform for their nimble star, he could emulate Saka's career and cement himself as one of the Premier League's biggest stars in a matter of years.

and Bayern may not get past Citeh

2 more goals tonight for Rasmus Højlund. 5 in last two games. https://streamtape.com/v/KX2W4xAJkMh0kKO/kaz_edit_edit.mp4

I am really leaning towards Rasmus Højlund turned 20 on Feb 4th, 1.91m tall, super pace, great motor, great presser, already strong, superb positional instincts already hat trick last night for Denmark great goals too especially the first

the big clubs atm with potential or for sure openings Real Madrid Chels (hopefully) Liverpool (if Klopp packs it in) PSG Juve AC Milan Inter Milan Atletico Madrid (perhaps, if Simeone finally packs it in there) Spuds

Bayern are usually so close to the vest. This was very uncharacteristic for them, and yes, it was very poorly handled. I hate Neuer, always have, he is the epitome of self entitled cuntishness. Salihamidžić also seems to be a bit of a loose cannon. Tuchel and him (and the hothead Kahn) are going to likely devolve as the years roll by into a shitshow. 3 ticking time bombs, one cup, lol.

I wish Tuchel all the best at Bayern if not us (of course) I have no truly strong wish as to the winner other than NO CITEH! ever I hope Citeh never wins the CL, same for Spuds and Arse I feel for Atletico Madrid, 3 finals, 3 losses Mbappe like will have to go to Real to win a CL, as I cannot see PSG winning it anytime soon

he should! we go DEEP at times and hash out a lot of the major controversies plus present a shedload of future-forward thought and documentation in terms of systemic risk/reward argument I, for instance, was already talking about the likelihood of the club perhaps being eventually (down the road as things further escalated in terms of Putin going wild, which of course he did) seized from Roman all the way back in the aftermath of the Skripal poisoning (4 March 2018) going down.

Sack the wannabe wizard Potter and hire Julian Nagelsmann! FFS, do it NOW

Lots of German summer tourist traffic for seaside fun goes to De Cocksdorp in Holland, lol.

Man Utd bid chaos leads to growing fears Glazers may not sell Concerns are growing among some parties involved in the Manchester United sale that the Glazers could be trying to play them There is a concern Glazers are trying to create leverage for loan Eyebrows raised over reports that eight bidders are involved Concerns are growing among some parties involved in the Manchester United sale that the Glazers could be trying to play them - and that instead of selling the club they are trying to push up the price to create leverage for a loan. Eyebrows also continue to be raised over claims that up to eight bidders are interested in the club given that only two, the Ineos owner Jim Ratcliffe and Sheikh Jassim’s Qatari consortium, have gone public. The latest fears come after the deadline for the second round of bids for the club was dramatically extended on Wednesday. On Thursday lunchtime all parties involved were still waiting to hear when the new deadline might be for the second round of bidding, with some suggesting that a “fluid” approach could yet be introduced by Raine, the US bank in charge of the sale. The suspicion remains that Raine is trying to ramp up a bidding process that is not as competitive as some are making out, in order to push the price for United towards the upper end of the Glazers’ £5-6bn valuation – significantly higher than the Qataris or Ratcliffe want to pay – or to allow them to create leverage for another loan. Another option for the Glazers would be to retain the club but sell a minority stake to a US hedge fund, although why anyone would want to hand over so much cash but not run a club themselves is unclear. The latest plot twists comes as United’s share price has risen by over 15% in thepast five days to $25.42 on Thursday lunchtime. As things stand, United’s net debts stand at £514.9m, which means that just £35.1m has come off the £550m loaded onto the club as a result of the Glazers’ takeover in 2005. However both Ineos and Sheikh Jassim’s Qatari consortium have promised to return the club to its former glories on and off the pitch. Sheikh Jassim, a chairman of Qatari bank QIB and the son of a former prime minister of Qatar, has also insisted he would “invest in the football teams, the training centre, the stadium and wider infrastructure, the fan experience and the communities the club supports”. Meanwhile Ratcliffe, a 70-year-old billionaire, who was born in Failsworth in Greater Manchester, has stressed his deep links with the club he supported as a boy and promised to “put the Manchester back into Manchester United”. If the club is eventually sold it would comfortably break the world record for a sports team, held by Rob Walton, a member of the family that owns Walmart, who bought the Denver Broncos NFL franchise for $4.65bn (£3.78bn) last year. The chances of it happening no longer look quite as certain as it once did.

hard pass on the dwarf

Fabrizio Romano's Daily Briefing Jonathan Johnson's Mercato Magazine - Liverpool may have ideal Bellingham alternative, Martial's Man United future, Lloris' time at Spurs coming to an end, and more Our French football expert with the low down on this week's big stories. https://caughtoffside.substack.com/p/jonathan-johnsons-mercato-magazine-868 Liverpool have a possible alternative to Jude Bellingham and why they failed to sign Aurelien Tchouameni last summer… This week’s big story came from The Athletic’s reliable David Ornstein, who reported that Liverpool are ‘unlikely’ to sign top target Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund with Real Madrid and Manchester City both ahead in the race for the Englishman’s signature. Even though a lot of fans have their hopes pinned on Liverpool signing Bellingham, all hope of the club making a good signing is not lost and that is because the next player that I can see a number of European giants turning their attention towards is Monaco's Youssouf Fofana. (Photo by Stu Forster/Getty Images) Fofana is still only 24 years old and is already one of Monaco’s most highly-rated midfielders. He also has an attractive contract situation which is set to expire next summer or the following year if Monaco decides to trigger his one-year extension clause. As for Real Madrid’s Aurelien Tchouameni and why Liverpool were unable to sign him last summer, the Frenchman’s replacement was ready and waiting at Monaco which enabled the principality club to move him on for a big sum and that is exactly what they did. Tchoameni was wanted by a number of top teams when he was leaving Monaco and Kylian Mbappe was very keen that PSG tried to sign him as he rejected Real Madrid to extend in Paris. However, once Real Madrid came in for Tchouameni, he only had eyes for them and there was only ever going to be one outcome once the fee was agreed. Spurs will be in the market for a new goalkeeper… One of the positions Spurs will undoubtedly be looking to reinforce in the coming windows is their man between the sticks. It would not surprise me if Spurs look to move on from Hugo Lloris sooner rather than later and Mike Maignan would be a good fit. He has already replaced Lloris as France's number one and he showed his value for AC Milan in their recent Champions League tie. (Photo by Justin Setterfield/Getty Images) Top-quality goalkeepers are hard to find so he will likely be wanted by a number of sides, but Spurs could offer that guaranteed starting role that he would require. It is also a question of what happens with the project moving forward given Antonio Conte's situation and the club's need to change tack. Ousmane Dembele’s injury history is putting clubs off… Ousmane Dembele has flirted with the idea of a move away from Barcelona for a while and was being lined up by PSG before sporting director Leonardo was dismissed when Mbappe's future was secured. His injury history puts many clubs off, but he is attractive as a potential free agent or low-cost signing when his deal runs down. Regarding the Premier League, it could be a destination that interests him, but I think that many clubs are wary that he can be difficult to handle away from the pitch. A return to France is possible for Anthony Martial… Expectations were sky-high for Anthony Martial when he arrived at Manchester United and made a fast start to life. He was in great form with Monaco and that continued at Old Trafford. (Photo by Lewis Storey/Getty Images) However, once that wore off, it was clear that he was perhaps not at the level many thought he was at based on his early form. Mixed with behavioural issues and injuries, it has been a tough past few years and he has lost his way at international level too. A return to Ligue 1 could be a smart move for him given that his La Liga experience was not a roaring success. Taking charge of Lyon would make sense for Patrick Vieira… I did wonder if this might happen a few months back. We saw something similar at Nice and now Patrick Vieira has lost his job with Crystal Palace too. I think it was perhaps a little harsh based on where the team is right now and the fact that Roy Hodgson has come in once more. It is hardly progressive stuff. What Vieira decides to do next will be critical to his coaching career given his two most recent setbacks and recurrent questions surrounding his management. It could be that he returns to France and takes a lower-profile job to rebuild his reputation before chasing a high-profile one. Lyon might be a good fit given John Textor's Palace and Lyon links and the fact that Laurent Blanc continues to underwhelm.

the season Cesc turned 30yo he had 7 goals, 15 assist in only 1945 minutes (he had a bad thigh injury in the middle of season as well, that is why his minutes were so low, he fully recovered from it later on) can we find a 'finished' player like that? lol

Fabrizio Romano's Daily Briefing Exclusive: Ben Jacobs Takeover - Man Utd due for big day in takeover saga, Pochettino to return to Tottenham? Ruben Neves latest, and more This week's exclusive transfer news column, featuring Liverpool, Barcelona, Chelsea, and more. Big Wednesday ahead for Manchester United - the latest on the takeover front Wednesday is a big day for Manchester United. As many as six second bids could go in as part of what is being termed stage two of the process. The deadline for new offers is 9pm UK. Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani and Sir Jim Ratcliffe are the two publicly-declared bidders and are both expected to place improved offers. It’s also important to point out that other groups, including minority investors, are still in the process. If a standout offer emerges then the Raine Group – who are handling the sale on behalf of the Glazers – could name a preferred bidder and put them through to a period of exclusivity. However, sources say it’s “very possible” there will be an extra bidding stage to create “competitive tension”. Sheikh Jassim and Ratcliffe were both left confident a full sale is possible following a day each of long meetings and presentations last week at Old Trafford. But who is put through next will really show the Glazers’ hand and whether they are truly intent on staying or leaving. Both Sheikh Jassim and Ratcliffe are clear they won’t overpay or be sucked into a bidding war, or be made to “ghost bid” against mystery groups. But there is an appreciation that it is going to take a record-sale price for a sports club in order to succeed. The Denver Broncos sold for $4.65bn (£3.8bn) in August last year. Many of the indicative offers are already above and in all likelihood if Manchester United is sold the final figure will be at least £1bn more than this. The ‘overpaying’ aspect comes from the fact all bidders are already prepared to go much higher than the club’s enterprise value – their indicative offers show this. That’s currently £3.75bn, which is pretty high due to the buzz of the process. For much of 2022 it’s been under £2.5bn. But there will be no reckless bidding. This is all still about business value not vanity. As Ratcliffe put it when speaking to the Wall Street Journal: “How do you decide the price of a painting? How do you decide the price of a house? It’s not related to how much it cost to build or how much it cost to paint. What you don’t want to do is pay stupid prices for things because then you regret it subsequently.” [Sir Jim Ratcliffe (left) with Mercedes’ F1 team principal Toto Wolff - Photo by Bryn Lennon/Getty Images] Last week, Sheikh Jassim and Ratcliffe both held what has been termed by sources as “productive” talks in Manchester. They received presentations essentially showing off the club in its best light from a strategic, operational, business and commercial perspective. It’s a bit like a takeover equivalent of an open house. And what was interesting about the meetings is we now know a lot more about the two publicly-declared bid teams. Ratcliffe is very much keeping his team in-house at INEOS with a split between business knowhow and football knowledge. The latter comes from Sir Dave Brailsford, INEOS Sport chair Rob Nevin and their CEO Jean-Claude Blanc (who interestingly is ex-PSG). Ratcliffe also felt it important to attend in person since the day was not only about information gathering but also relationship building. Sources also stress that Ratcliffe doesn’t want to leave this process “empty-handed” making him potentially inclined to partner with other groups if not successful. Sheikh Jassim’s delegation was led by Shahzad Shahbaz, who is president of the Nine Two Foundation. He is an experienced and highly-respected banker and has been earmarked for a key long-term role rather than only parachuted in to drive the bid or help value the club. He’ll be an important part of the leadership team at Manchester United if the group is successful. I understand Shahbaz will likely represent the Nine Two Foundation, a bit like Behdad Eghbali at Chelsea on behalf of Clearlake Capital. He’ll then directly advise Sheikh Jassim, who is expected to be highly engaged but slightly less day to day. We could also see Sheikh Jassim come to London soon if things progress where many of his bid team are working from. Overall, the Nine Two Foundation plan is to build, as one source put it, “The best bench in football administration and expertise, including experienced current and former Manchester United people of history and influence.” The first task will be to bring on board a football lead with multiple candidates currently being considered. And don’t rule out ex-players being involved as well. A number of high-profile ones are waiting to see who succeeds before committing, but there is an openness by many to be a part of the successful group. Spurs exploring Antonio Conte solutions Tottenham are set to part ways with Antonio Conte, although at the time of writing nothing has been officially communicated. Conte flew back to Italy after the 3-3 draw at Southampton, having given an explosive post-match press conference in which he called his players “selfish”. Conte has had to clarify directly to Levy that he wasn’t criticising the ownership since he appeared to allude to Spurs being serially unsuccessful over the past 20 years. Levy is taking his time to come to a formal decision, largely considering what is the best move to try and finish in the top four. The most likely scenario is Ryan Mason will be put in temporary charge, but the international break does allow Spurs some time to explore different options. Mauricio Pochettino, Luis Enrique and Thomas Tuchel are all out of work, although they generally aren’t the type of managers who like to come in mid-season. Pochettino is extremely open to a Spurs return and retains a strong professional and personal relationship with Levy. But Levy isn’t the only decision maker, even though his opinion carries huge weight. Fabio Paratici will lead on any appointment and he views Enrique as a strong candidate. Both options would be popular choices amongst the fanbase. Pochettino has taken his time despite receiving lots of offers since leaving PSG. He was under consideration from Chelsea, even though Graham Potter was always the leading candidate. But he was not entirely sold on the vision. If Poch is to go back to Spurs, he’ll want to understand the dynamic between himself and Paratici first. My understanding has always been Thomas Tuchel is not a leading candidate. He is obviously a top coach, but not seen as quite the right fit by the senior leadership team at Spurs. And after Conte’s outbursts, finding the right type of personality, not just coach, may well prove important. Brentford’s Thomas Frank and Fulham’s Marco Silva could also be considered. Roberto De Zerbi has also impressed since joining Brighton but hasn’t even been there for a year. Brighton CEO Paul Barber told talkSPORT the club want to keep hold of him for as long as they possibly can, and with the Seagulls pushing for Europe it’s not thought De Zerbi would consider leaving mid-season. First, Spurs have to resolve matters with Conte, who was always expected to leave at the end of the season. Again, at the time of writing, nothing has been officially communicated (perhaps that will change by the time you are reading this!). Thereafter, the key decision is whether an immediate appointment is made or Spurs wait until the end of the season. 💬 Who would your preferred managerial candidate be for Tottenham should Antonio Conte depart the club? Let us know your thoughts below! Chelsea want to extend Mateo Kovacic as Man City ‘aware’ of situation Although there has been some doubt over Mateo Kovacic’s future at Stamford Bridge over the past few months, and his contract ends in 2024, Chelsea are keen to extend his stay. Chelsea are putting a high premium on leaders right now, and Kovacic has also been captain with others missing, including in the win over Dortmund in the Champions League at Stamford Bridge. And Kovacic scored a spectacular goal in the victory over Leicester in the Premier League. Jorginho’s departure to Arsenal was a great deal for all parties, but Chelsea nonetheless lost an experienced and well-liked player. Now, the owners don’t want to fall into too many repeat scenarios where they are selling players whose contracts are winding down. That’s why cashing in on Kovacic this summer has been discussed. But right now I understand things have changed a little. Kovacic has been linked with Liverpool, Manchester City and Milan, and with new Chelsea midfielders incoming this summer he must understand how many minutes he’ll get, especially with N’Golo Kante back. Kante is expected to sign a new deal, too. Plus, Kovacic could have options that include Champions League football. It's a tall order for Chelsea to now qualify for the competition in 2023/24. [Mateo Kovacic (right) in action for Chelsea - Photo by Marc Atkins/Getty Images] But from Chelsea’s perspective they’d like Kovacic to extend, especially with him being 28, which makes a bit of difference compared to others (like Jorginho, for example) in their thirties. Chelsea’s owners want to get the average squad age down. A renewal is not yet a given, but there’s been a clear shift, with Kovacic now someone Chelsea ideally want to keep. The broader challenge for Chelsea’s American owners is players like Kovacic, Mason Mount, Christian Pulisic, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Cesar Azpilicueta and Ruben Loftus-Cheek are all approaching the final year of their contracts. This makes it harder to get value from departures. And Chelsea want to stop contracts just ticking down because it puts them in a weaker position in the market. To get Kovacic to sign, he’ll have to agree to the new incentive-driven wage structure. This will include handsome opportunities to earn, but also a decrease if Champions League football isn’t achieved. Manchester City, in particular, are well aware of Kovacic’s situation. Let’s not forget they also tried to sign him in 2018 from Real Madrid before his move to Chelsea. Although City’s top midfield target is Jude Bellingham, Guardiola may push for more than one midfielder especially due to other potential outgoings, including Ilkay Gundogan, whose future remains undecided. Wolves expecting Neves departure as Liverpool ‘still really like’ teammate Wolves showed last summer they were able to hang on to Ruben Neves despite interest from Arsenal. But this summer things will be different. A bit like West Ham with Declan Rice, Wolves are pretty resigned to losing Neves. They know, with his contract expiring in 2024, selling at the end of the season is the only way to command a healthy fee. Liverpool have certainly tracked Neves, but keep an eye on Matheus Nunes. He’s the one Liverpool still really like from Wolves. Barcelona have also considered Neves, but it’s not a deal (financially speaking) they can pull off right now. Manchester United and Newcastle are looking for a player with a profile like Neves. A lot of attention will be on Rice, with Arsenal and Chelsea pushing, but Neves will be highly-sought after as well and is available cheaper than the West Ham talisman (perhaps even around half his price). That’s the silver-lining for Wolves. They may lose the Portuguese midfielder but be able to drive up the price a little due to a high volume of suitors. Let’s not forget last summer Neves was being valued at over £75m. His price has dropped due to the contract winding down, but Wolves would still ideally want closer to £50m than £40m. 💬 Would you prefer your club to sign Matheus Nunes or Ruben Neves?

Fabrizio Romano's Daily Briefing 🚨 the Daily Briefing - Liverpool out of the Bellingham race? Man Utd takeover latest, Carlo Ancelotti's future, and more Tuesday's transfer round-up, featuring Lionel Messi, Joao Cancelo, Jude Bellingham, and more. Good morning! Welcome to my latest Daily Briefing - an exclusive round-up of the biggest stories and headlines, brought to you ad-free and straight to your inbox. Thanks for reading, and enjoy! 🙂 Today’s top stories Liverpool’s status in the Jude Bellingham transfer race New bids expected soon from Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Qatar Who Tottenham could replace Antonio Conte with in the short-term Barcelona Barça have an excellent relationship with João Cancelo’s agent, Jorge Mendes, but nothing will be decided at this point in time. Bayern and Cancelo will discuss things at the end of the season, and in the meantime, the fullback is now 100% focused on FC Bayern. 📰 Barcelona are interested in resigning their former striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (The Evening Standard via CaughtOffside) Christian Falk to CaughtOffside: “I talked with Julian Nagelsmann about João Cancelo and he said that the defender is doing well but he isn’t a player for his system, which involves three defenders behind two wing-backs. So that’s the problem. “If Pavard is fit, it’s getting difficult for Cancelo and time is slowly running out. It’s not a perfect situation for both sides and it’s worth considering that the clause of €70m is too high for Bayern Munich. I heard they’ve already informed the player and his management that they can’t pay this amount.” Gift Orban Wesley Sonck (Belgium U18 coach) on rumours of possible Premier League transfer [Sporza via CaughtOffside]: “I think it’s great that he is so ambitious. He is also fast, he adapts well. I must also admit that he easily scores goal. He is often in the right place. “But the Premier League or the Bundesliga? That is still a few steps higher. Even with teams like Borussia Monchengladbach or Eintracht Frankfurt you have guys like (Marcus) Thuram and (Randal) Kolo-Muani in front of you. “They are still on a different level.” Inter Milan 📰 The Italian giants are unlikely to re-sign on-loan Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku following a disappointing season in Italy (Football Insider via CaughtOffside) Liverpool Jude Bellingham has not made a final decision yet. The situation remains open; it was not done with Liverpool in December and January despite many rumours, and it’s not off now. Real Madrid are pushing a lot as they really want Jude, same for Manchester City. Of course, Liverpool’s uncertainty in their ownership situation is not helping but the club is still there in the race. Christian Falk to CaughtOffside: “I heard that because of Liverpool’s experience in the Champions League this term, Jurgen Klopp made his thoughts very clear: Bellingham is now the top, top target. He said that every other transfer should be pushed down the pecking order; names like Randal Kolo Muani aren’t as important at the moment - there’s just one name and this is Bellingham.” Manchester City 📰 Manchester City are said to have tabled their first offer for Croatian defender Luka Vuskovic as they look to steal a march on their rivals for the defender (The Athletic via CaughtOffside) Manchester United New bids are expected soon from Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the Qatari group, for sure they are both in the race at this stage. The next few days will be crucial; details of this negotiation are still private as of now but there are going to be some crucial days/weeks coming. [Sir Jim Ratcliffe (left) attends AS Monaco v OGC Nice (Photo by VALERY HACHE/AFP via Getty Images)] PSG From what I know, PSG have already made a proposal to Lionel Messi - and he’s waiting to make a decision based on PSG’s project, coach and more key details for the next season. It’s up to Messi, and his father Jorge. 💬 Is it time for Lionel Messi to return to Barcelona? What’s the next best step for the legendary midfielder? Let us know your thoughts below!Leave a comment Real Madrid Real Madrid are still protecting Carlo Ancelotti as they hope to do great things in the Champions League again. No decision will be made now; but only at the end of the season. For sure, winning trophies at Madrid is crucial to keep the job and Ancelotti knows that too. 💬 Who should Real Madrid replace Carlo Ancelotti with if the club decides to sack him in the summer? Share your predictions below! Tottenham Tottenham’s final say will be up to Daniel Levy. The process is ongoing, Spurs are not happy with Antonio Conte’s comments so they are seriously considering parting ways with their manager after less than two years in the role. For the replacement, it could be Ryan Mason as a short-term solution; they haven’t decided on a long-term option as of yet.

Boavista F.C. FTW

hard pass on both, especially the shortie Raya
