I think Bayern might be where he goes. I really do. Fantastic club and finding another Lewandowski level CF will be a mission so Haaland and maybe Mbappe be their only choices and even then Mbappe is hugely out of their usual price range. Plus isnt there a 65m release clause for Haaland?

If I were Håland, I would be bored with the Bundesliga, especially if you are on Bayern. He is not German, so no 'native' draw/ties. No team would over shit for a challenge (Dortmund will sink down after he and Sancho leave, and RB Leipzig is hardly going to be a dynasty). Same for PSG (even more so). No clue what his feelings are for Juve or AC Milan (probably only Juve could afford him). The only leagues that offer truly competitive options would be La Liga (although only against the other 2 of the big 3) and then the EPL.

Manchester at the heart of the transfer market

 

During the last ten transfer windows, Manchester City total the most negative net transfer spending among current big-5 league clubs (-€631M) ahead of city rivals Manchester United (-€586M). Two French Ligue 1 clubs are at the opposite end of the table: LOSC Lille (+€191M) and Olympique Lyonnais (+151M). Issue number 324 of the CIES Football Observatory Weekly Post presents the data for each club.

The third most negative transfer balance since the summer 2015 was recorded for FC Barcelona (-€471M). Beyond the much-debated Lionel Messi’s great salary, this heavily contributed to increase the Catalan club’s debt. Two other teams with recurrent operating deficits, Inter and Milan AC, also are among the ten big-5 league clubs with the most negative net transfer spending during the period analysed: -€386M for Inter and -€211M for Milan.

No English Premier League team has a positive transfer balance during the period considered. The least negative net spending was recorded for Southampton (-€50M), ahead of West Bromwich Albion (-€73M) and Newcastle United (-€77M). The most positive balances in Italy, Germany and Spain were recorded for Atalanta BC (+€133M), Hoffenheim (+€87M) and Valencia (+€67 M). The data comes from the CIES Observatory own research using data published by clubs or reported by media.

I think Messi to PSG and Mbappe to Real. Barca is going into mediocrity.

I have hard time understanding the appeal of Bayern in all this transfer rumors. As a stop gap for developing players, yeah, maybe, but this league is just not challenging; Bayern is buying everything that moves like prime Real, then there's Dortmund two floors below, long nothing, maybe RB Leipzig, then abyss.

Joining the team to win the league if they won't sabotage themselves too much and play 16 matches in CL? Not super ambitious imho.

Thought there were pretty strong reports that Ramos + Messi to PSG in the summer was a done deal.

I hope Mbappe stays at PSG. I want 4 of the Big 5 (Bayern is too well run to crash out) FFP-colluding gangster teams to collapse (Real Barca, Juve, Manure) I hate those 4 plus Spuds with a burning passion. The only huge issue I have with Shitty is the way they bribed/bought off CAs, but IF that helps burn down FFP, then I can almost forgive it, and I have no issue with them or us or PSG (or Berlusconi's old AC Milan, the OG's of it all) trying to but the best players. The Juve Agnelli family are mafia goons, and the other 3 are SHIT run clubs. They have pissed away billions over the last 10, 15 or so years, combined. Now that Pool won the league and lost at home (so our record is safe) I cannot be arsed into obsessing over them, and I think they even go back to normal by the time Klopp leaves.

The 3 teams with the worst fans globally are Real, Barca, and Manure. You show me a Barca or Real English-speaking fan, then the odds are SO high they are utterly clueless about football. All they know is (1) open mouth, (2) suck Messi or CR7 cock. Manure fans know footie, it is just that fucking sense of sheer entitlement they have that enrages me. I am sure the German here feel the same about Bayern, but as long as they stay the fuck away from tapping our players up, I have no huge issue with them. They certainly are (many of them are actually German too) not pure cunts overall in English chats, nothing remote close to Barca, Real, and Manure berks. German chats may be different.

Messi will end up at City.....if Pep wants him they will get him easy. FFP you say? Counts for shit these days as proven.

Tah: "England appeals to me very much. The Play style suits me. If at some point I notice that I am stagnating in my development, then that is an option!"
