Has a new EPL rivalry been born? Haaland vs Nunez

Haaland v Nunez  Two incredible talents have just signed for two premier league title contenders Erling Haaland was signed to City for the fee of 51 million Euros whereas Liverpool signed Darwin Nunez for a whopping 85 million. The 2022-23 EPL season would indubitably be a joy to watch not only because it’s the most-watched league in the world, not only because there are more chances of upsets during the campaign but because the already intense rivalry between City and Liverpool as both teams added prospective goal machines to their already incredible strike force. Let’s get to the numbers both players have put up: Erling has already established himself as a generational talent as he came into the limelight when he burst into the champions league with RB Salzburg back in 2019 and continued his dominance when he joined Dortmund and scored an outrageous 86 goals in a total of 89 matches played .

Is the future already secured for Real Madrid?

   The transfer window reopened on the 10th of June and in the usual fashion, some high-profile transfers of the summer had been concluded in the back room before that date, one of the most notable transfers of the window so far was the transfer of Aurelien tchouameni from Monaco to Real Madrid who is notorious for making at least one big signing almost every window.

Eventually, the preferred move for tchouameni was to Los Blanco's for a reported fee of almost £100m, an initial fee of £68.3m with guaranteed add-ons of £17.1m another further close to £10m fee for ‘easily achievable’ clauses and a balloon d'or clause for if he finishes in the top 3 of the award and another particular clause for if he ends up winning the award. Tchouameni arrives at Real Madrid as their second si

Marina Out! A New Dawn for Chelsea FC?

  As we know we are now in the transfer business part of the football calendar, Chelsea interestingly just got over one huge hurdle which is the change of ownership. Over these past weeks, there have been changes in management,  and  also in the team, as some players are leaving and some are still expected to leave but is it going smoothly? I think the first very notable change is the transfer business conduct, usually, Chelsea has been direct in transfer dealings which makes it easy for them but now that the new owner Todd Boehly is temporarily in charge of transfers as Marina is said to be leaving the club this week, it would have an impact definitely. Also , his idea of how a football team should do transfers might be different maybe he likes to grow and build players, buy quality players at low prices and train them or just buy the big names or sell players off the books to generate funds from the club do transfer business as we know that Chelsea has a big squad with qualit
