Currently, the most significant managerial appointment confirmed is Arne Slot joining Liverpool FC. The agreement is expected to be around €13 to €15 million, including his backroom staff, and all parties have reached an agreement. This weekend, Feyenoord and Liverpool will finalize all necessary contracts. The Liverpool management is optimistic that Slot can bring an elevated level of quality football to the club, nurture young talents, and continue the legacy established by Jürgen Klopp.

This summer is anticipated to create a ripple effect in managerial movements across several clubs; however, the process is not straightforward or immediate, particularly regarding timing. As of now, prominent managers like Thomas Tuchel, Rúben Amorim, Roberto De Zerbi, Hansi Flick, Erik ten Hag, and Mauricio Pochettino are not close to any moves. While discussions are ongoing as is customary, no deals are near completion or have advanced significantly.

For instance, Amorim had discussions with West Ham United but is not expected to sign with them; similarly, the situation remains quiet for others. The managerial landscape is fluid, and until concrete offers are made, the coaching carousel may continue to spin without significant changes.

As for Chelsea FC, their situation remains unchanged as previously discussed; decisions regarding Pochettino’s future will be made at the end of the season rather than now. At that point, the club’s ownership will be involved, and their decision will be crucial. Importantly, European football could play a significant role in Pochettino’s future at the club.

In contrast, at Barcelona, Xavi has chosen to remain with the club and expressed a desire to be actively involved in the club’s strategic planning. He is particularly interested in acquiring a new midfielder during the summer transfer window. Recently, he has had extensive discussions with Deco and Laporta, and they have aligned on several key points. In my view, maintaining continuity at this juncture is vital for the club, making this decision beneficial for all parties.

I continue to assert that Thiago Motta is unlikely to remain at Bologna next season, as I have stated since January. More information will emerge over the upcoming weeks, as the focus now shifts to securing a Champions League spot.

Many inquiries arise regarding Bruno Guimarães, the Brazilian midfielder for Newcastle, particularly in relation to his rumored link with Paris Saint-Germain during the January transfer window.

Numerous clubs are aware of his situation leading into the summer transfer window. I previously revealed the details about the £100 million release clause in his contract, and I am here to clarify how that clause operates.

This is crucial information, as it pertains to the interests of various clubs and is particularly significant for Newcastle supporters. From what I understand, the release clause is only active from the last week of May to the last week of June.

This means the clause will not be valid in July or August. Any club interested in acquiring Bruno Guimarães can activate the clause until the beginning of the final week of June. After that, if they wish to negotiate in July or August, they will need to engage in discussions with Newcastle, which will then have complete control over the situation.

Regarding Arda Güler – many of my contacts at Real Madrid have been inquiring about him. I want to clarify once again that Güler has shown great respect towards the club. He has not requested to leave the club, either recently or in the past ten days. This assertion is not accurate based on the information I am receiving.

Real Madrid has not received any indication from Güler regarding a desire to leave or create any internal issues; he has remained very professional, and the relationship between him and the club has been excellent.

His recent goal against Real Sociedad showcased his talent once again, reinforcing his value to the team.

As the season concludes, discussions will occur between his representatives and Real Madrid regarding a potential move during the summer transfer window. Several clubs are already expressing interest in him.

This creates numerous possibilities for a potential loan, with clubs like Sevilla and Napoli already reaching out for updates on his situation. However, it is important to note that Real Madrid holds the reins, and no decisions will be made before the end of the season.

Currently, I want to clarify that I am not aware of any negotiations or developments regarding Darwin Núñez. There are no significant updates available at this moment.

What I can share is a reminder about Chelsea’s interest in Núñez at the end of last summer’s transfer window. In those final weeks, they were actively seeking a striker and made attempts to acquire Darwin Núñez.

They genuinely attempted to make it happen, but Liverpool firmly rejected the proposal. Reports indicate that Jürgen Klopp was adamant about keeping Núñez as a crucial player for both the present and the future of Liverpool FC. However, Chelsea displayed significant interest in acquiring Darwin Núñez.

As we look ahead, it will be interesting to see if any clubs approach Liverpool this summer regarding Núñez, or if he will ultimately remain at the club where he is regarded as a vital player.

In terms of Barcelona, there appears to be a possibility that they may allow Ansu Fati to leave once again this summer, and this is the current expectation from the club’s perspective.

Whether it will result in another loan, a permanent transfer, or if Brighton will make another attempt for Fati remains to be seen. However, at this stage, it is still too early to make definitive conclusions about his future.

Ansu Fati’s future remains uncertain and open to various possibilities.
