@Giggs, @Perumthachan, Any idea about Jonathan Tah, is he an option if koulibaly transfer fails??

According to the Italian sports newspaper TuttoroSport and Transfer Window Podcast, personal terms are 'all but agreed' between Manchester City and Kalidou Koulibaly himself, while it is also claimed that 'a lot of work' has gone in over the past few days when it comes to agreeing fee with Napoli - work that has been successful in terms of 'making progress'.

Agree with your points - previously I mentioned the same as well; now blues need a striker like Diego Costa and Eden Hazard. Anyway personally I don't like CR7 to join in blues

City-kku avashyathinu strikers undu, Chelsea aau nalloru striker illatha team.
Looks like Lampard is settled with Werner-Pulisic for now.
I prefer them selling Giroud and bringing a new Forward.

Having said that, I don't prefer CR7 coming back to EPL or La Liga at this late stage of his career.

Barcelona coach Quique Setien is set to be sacked after their humiliating 8-2 Champions League defeat by Bayern Munich on Friday - and Mauricio Pochettino, Xavi and Ronald Koeman are the leading contenders to succeed Setien at the Nou Camp

Indeed, reports in Spain claim former Tottenham and Southampton boss Pochettino had already held talks with Barcelona days before Friday's drubbing

For Pochettino ..his Espanyol connection may be a block ....but can consider since they are relegated

Lionel Messi 'tells Barcelona he wants to leave immediately' after crisis talks

- fervently hoping it is not true.

enikku manassilavathathu ithanu - Messi Barcelona vittu engottu pokananu !!!!

I don't think he will fit in any any other big club (Bayern, Inter, City, Pools, PSG ....) and he won't go to some small club or small leagues like MLS, China etc.
I don't know whether he is popular in England also.
