    Rumors saying PSG are front-runners, makes sense given Cavani's issues with Neymar.

    SportBild also saying Bayern would listen to offers for Boateng, Vidal, Thiago and Bernat.

    I'd welcome it, we need fresh blood and guys like Boateng have been more active on social media than on the pitch.

    Whenever Bayern is on, I never see Boateng - dude is always out for some reason.

    If Lewandowski does leave, who does Bayern get to replace him?

    At least he seems to be healthy in time for the World Cup.

    While Lewa is a top striker, he is a selfish prick.

    Cant believe he b****ed and moaned about his manager/teammates not setting him up for goals to become the league's top scorer.

    And now this drama.

    The good: In this crazy over inflated market, and with not many top strikers in the market, you can get top money for a top striker like Lewa.

    The bad: In this crazy over inflated market, and with not many top strikers around, you are not going to be able to easily find a top striker to replace him at a reasonable price, even if you do find one.

    lfc told by roma that alisson will cost 80m. i would go ahead and spend if i were them. good keepers are hard to come by, especially with lfc's leaky defense.

    City was clever, Ederson 'only' cost them 40 million the first time. Great deal.

    Brazil is like a goalkeeper paradise again.

    In other news, Mourinho wants Arnautovic again, hope that does not happen. Everyone goes to death with United.

    Current strategy is to not buy any stars and instead grow the current group and youngsters, but I'm sure that'd change if Lewandowski left.
    As @daywalker02 breh said, I want Martial. A good option for 2-3yrs would be Cavani, seeing how PSG rumoredly wants Lewa.

    How old is Cavani, I would keep Cavani over Neymar, that glamour doll mercenary.

    31 yr old. Ok.

    IDK what he can achieve there. 15 more?

    I think Jupp Heynckes also left Real after a title?

    Better than being fired.

    There were rumors, but they were usually tied to performance. It's possible that Madrid's failures in Spain contributed. Looks like he's going with exhaustion, though. Look for Madrid to go through a down period, IMO.

    They sacked Heynckes because they are biches.

    If they get a good coach, they might contend for the league title but I think they won't win the CL easily.

    I dun think it came out of nowhere as Zidane was visibly tired/taxed, esp. past season.

    I expected him to be fired after half a season next year. Lmao, good move.

    Madrid has no scruples firing championship coaches.
