Guardiola, Klopp and Pochettino believe they will break tradition.

Guardiol, Soboslai and Nkunku among the best signings of the summer

Leipzig sporting director Max Eberl, whom Bayern want to take, cheekily commented on Guardiol’s future move to Manchester City:

We communicate with the “citizens”. For 100 million euros and bonuses, we are ready to let Joshko go to Pep. This will make Guardiola the most expensive defender in history.

The personal contract has long been discussed, it remains to be negotiated. The Croatian will be at Manchester City. And Soboslai took Gerrard’s number eight. Hungarian has a tattoo with Stephen’s quote:

Talent is a gift from God, but it is worth nothing without incredible will and humility.

An ironic phrase given the past and behavior of the Liverpool legend. Gerrard is, to put it mildly, not a humble person. But the two “eights” of the big club are united by incredible self-confidence. Soboslai said in an interview that as a child he hardly watched football, so Gerrard was not his idol and Liverpool was his favorite team.

But once Dominic gets involved in football, he will become the best. Admittedly, Klopp has taken a liking to a young footballer who markets himself as a second Zlatan Ibrahimovic, only playing deeper into the scheme. The Hungarian is a promising midfielder, but there’s a big danger that all of Leipzig’s more expensive sales won’t work out.

Guardiol arrives at Manchester City, where the game system is unusual. It will be a little easier for the Croatian than for newcomers from other clubs – Chelsea and Liverpool, because Guardiola is famous for his ability to babysit players. He will explain the ideas to a Croatian, as he has explained to Kimmich, Zinchenko, Stones, Foden and many other players.

But one hundred million euros will put pressure on Joshko, his mistakes will be examined under the microscope. Nkunku is a little easier, because Boeli has done a lot of crazy deals. While the public is ready to judge Mudrik first. But the Ukrainian, after the success of Euro 2023, can gain a foothold on the left wing of the attack in Pochettino’s team.

But Nkunku, with his unusual style of play, should find his place at Chelsea. Deschamps, who had known Christopher for a long time, was also in no hurry to invite the player to the French national team. And Nkunku missed the World Cup due to injury.

Keita, Werner and Upamecano didn’t play in the big new clubs

Nabi joined Liverpool for €60m, one of the most expensive transfers in the club’s history. Klopp knew the midfielder well. Jürgen believed Keita would play. The German supported the Guinean, encouraged him and asked him not to give up. But as a result, the 28-year-old left Liverpool as a free agent.

And no Champions League level team has signed him as a free agent. Keita is a newcomer to Werder Bremen. The sad result of an attempt to overtake Salzburg and Leipzig playing at the base of Liverpool. The Chelsea managers also had a bad experience with an East German club player.

Werner arrived for 53 million euros, and this is one of Granovskaya’s worst transfers. The German constantly smeared, in none of the combinations did he form a shock attack from Chelsea. Pochettino still does not have a central striker under the base, and Havertz, who covered the post, was sold to Arsenal for exorbitant prices.

Werner returned to Leipzig for 20 million euros and Chelsea was left with nothing. The Rangnick system allows you to find curious players. Timo, for example, was withdrawn from Stuttgart. But can Leipzig stars become kings of the first stage and not of the provincial theater? There are big doubts.

Here Upamecano runs the risk of not staying in a big club. The Frenchman has changed agents for the second time in a year, which suggests a desire to churn out the transfer. Let the rumors about leaving Bayern die down for now, but given that Tuchel is signing Kim from Naples to join De Ligt’s team, where will Dayotchankul play?

Upamecano needs training to play in Euro 2024. And Bayern, which paid 42.5 million euros for the player’s contract, are unlikely to find a club willing to overpay for a centre-back easily. Unless PSG he will wake up, even if there are other favorites in central defense after Ramos.

Leipzig never became the new Bundesliga champion

They have won the German Cup twice, but this is more a fault of Bayern than a great asset of the club, which the Germans don’t like. The Austrians of Red Bull have circumvented a series of sacred rules to enrich a modest club. The sales of players are important for the club, but the main element is missing.

They have not seen the transformation of “Leipzig” into a real contender for the “salad bowl”. In a season in which Monaco and Dortmund have played a hot potato with the world trophy, Marco Rose has not taken advantage of the situation. And in Europe, Leipzig did not repeat the feats of Borussia Dortmund with the Champions League final.

Holland, Gundogan, Pulisic, Lewandowski and other Bumblebee owners played for Bumblebee after leaving Dortmund. Although there have been unsuccessful deals for buyers. Dembele and Sancho among Barcelona’s worst transfers and Manchester United currently. And now everyone is looking at Bellingham.

Not all Bundesliga heroes will play Premier League, like Haaland, who left for Leipzig at the time. This club has precious Olmo and Simakan. The team has new interesting players. But Soboslai too could face a tough adjustment period at Liverpool, even if Klopp is hoping for the best.

And you have to wait for problems, because Konate and Zabitzer are not the protagonists of the English championship. Each case is individual, but “Locomotive” blows from Rangnik’s brainchild. In the sense that they launched a stormy activity, like in a Moscow club under the Germans, but there was a catch.

At the moment, the negative experience of Werner and Keith transfers in Premier League it didn’t cover. Perhaps the impudent Soboslai, Nkunku and Guardiol will repair the reputation of the Leipzig players in England, but in all cases they have paid too much, a frequent indication of future problems.
