5 bold predictions for Kylian Mbappé in his first Real Madrid season

Real Madrid have begun the 2024-25 season on a positive note. Even though the performances during the first two months of the season have been a mixed bag, with a feeling that this team is yet to unlock its full potential, the results have been there. 10 games, seven wins, three draws, and no defeats. Add to that the UEFA Super Cup trophy to kick off the season, and the arrival of Kylian Mbappé to an already very strong outfit. Things don't look as bleak as they have been made to be. Speaking of Mbappé, the general consensus among the Madridistas and the media has been that the Frenchman is still finding his feet within Carlo Ancelotti's system. Ancelotti fired Real Madrid to the double last season, employing a 4-4-2 tactical scheme with Vini Jr. and Rodrygo as the strikers and Ju...

Tottenham may have just finagled their way to a serious transfer steal

According to a report from Daily Mail (h/t @HotspurRelated), Tottenham Hotspur have pulled off remarkable transfer heist for the 2024-25 season, as they aim to bolster their squad in a bid to finish in the top four and possibly challenge for the Premier League. On Tuesday, Tottenham officially announced that they had extended German forward Timo Werner's loan deal for the upcoming season. "We are delighted to announce an agreement for Timo Werner to rejoin us on loan from RB Leipzig for the 2024/25 season, with an option to make the deal permanent," Spurs stated in the official announcement on their website. Spurs have carried out some shrewd transfer business in recent seasons. Last season, they signed Dutch defender Micky van de Ven for around €50 million from Bundesliga outfit VfL...

PSG want Newcastle ace to kick start post-Kylian Mbappé era

The official departure of star forward Kylian Mbappé upon contract expiry is set to trigger a major overhaul at Paris Saint-Germain during the upcoming summer transfer window. Now, according to a report by Le 10 Sport, PSG are keen to acquire Newcastle United's midfield ace Bruno Guimarães in an attempt to bolster their midfield. Guimarães will not be a cheap signing for Les Parisiens, though, as he is rated at a mouth-watering €100 million. In order to facilitate the move and not let financial constraints hold them back (they never have btw), PSG are considering cashing in on Uruguayan midfielder Manuel Ugarte. It doesn't really come as a shock to hear that PSG are allegedly okay with parting ways with Ugarte. The Ligue 1 champions bought the midfielder from Sporting CP in a €60 mil...

Bayern Munich’s next manager appointment could shock the world

Bayern Munich have already begun planning for the 2024-25 season and their upcoming managerial appointment is bound to send shockwaves throughout the footballing fraternity. The Bavarians experienced a chaotic 2023-24 season which saw their record 11-year Bundesliga winning streak come to a brutal end at the hands of Xabi Alonso's Bayer 04 Leverkusen, who finished the league campaign without any defeat. As if that wasn't enough, the club announced in late February that they would be parting ways with Thomas Tuchel, who guided them to the UEFA Champions League semi-finals. Reports from German media outlets in the past few weeks indicated that Bayern were reconsidering their decision regarding Tuchel and were open to continue their partnership for another season. Heck, the Bayern...

Real Madrid Transfers: PSG are already waving goodbye to Kylian Mbappé

We are set for a big transfer window in the upcoming summer as there are already huge developments as we head toward the conclusion of the ongoing campaign. Kylian Mbappé is set to call an end to his seven-year chapter at Paris Saint-Germain, the player deciding to leave the French capital as a free agent this summer. It has become somewhat of a foregone conclusion as to where Mbappé will play come the 2024-25 season, and all (not most) signs point towards Real Madrid. In February 2024, Mbappé communicated his decision to not trigger an extension in his contract to PSG chief Nasser al-Khelaifi and everyone else that matters at the club, according to a report from The Athletic's David Ornstein. The Parisian outfit have already started to prepare for life without their biggest pl...
