Luka Modric is a monument of stability. We can say that he has done the best in the position he has played for years. There is also the Ballon D'or award. I think this is enough to prove to us how loyal he is to his job and how successful he is. I'm sure he will play great matches at Real Madrid next year as well.
In the past two days, Luka Modric has also extended his contract by Real Madrid because Real Madrid still considers Luka Modric as a player who can help the team in the midfield so that Luka Modric will still be seen at Real Madrid next season. I also believe that Luka Modric can still give his best performance for Real Madrid next season by making the midfield more lively and also by providing the best passes to the players up front.
Luca Modric has undoubtedly brought balance to the Real Madrid midfield in recent seasons, his players are vital to being able to keep Real Madrid's game in good touch. Good teamwork is also shown by this player, it is proven that he can work with anyone in the midfield. Experience doesn't lie, maybe now he is slower than before due to the age factor, but his experience will be very influential to provide calm and also set a good example for young players who are in the current squad.



Barcelona do need a midfield player to replace Busquets and Ilkay Gundogan fits perfectly in that position. His contribution to the club is undoubted and he has proven while at Manchester City, this is the right choice and Xavi knows very well the conditions Barcelona are facing so recruiting Ilkay Gundogan can be an alternative in maximizing their budget next season.
Xavi is indeed smart in taking advantage of moments like this and he doesn't want to lose a great player like Gundogan who was the key to victory in several important matches for Manchester City before finally getting the treble winner last season. His arrival at Camp Nou will certainly be greeted with great enthusiasm by his colleagues, moreover there will be so much knowledge that other young players at Barcelona can absorb. Gundogan's job is to replace Bosquest and we don't need to doubt his quality because Gundogan is very experienced in winning titles in various competitions before.
Yes, Barcelona benefited from Gundogan joining the squad, Gundogan was brought in for free, and he is a player who has good abilities which has been proven to have contributed to bringing Manchester City to great success this season. Of course his presence in the squad will be welcomed, because at the same time they also need players who can replace Busquets who left this season. They had the right moment, and I think it's the same as what happened last season, like when they brought Lewandowski to Camp Nou.

At an age like Luca Modric, there are those who start thinking about money, there are those like Modric where when he feels he can play for a top club like Real Madrid, he will be happy to do it and without thinking about the money that is offered to him. Modric himself must have considered what will happen next when he is unable to provide the best for the club, and surely that is a risk that he will be ready to take on later.
Winning Champions League is a dream for every player and many super star players did not win a single Champions League. Luka Modric has won five Champions League titles and he even won a Ballon d'Or as well as many La Liga titles with Real Madrid. In Croatia, he has been awarding as a best player of Croatia in many years. He can retire anytime he want without regret.

However he still plays very well at nearly 40s and it is another big surprise from Modric. He still don't want to leave Europe and I guess he wants to win one more Champions League with Real Madrid or want to win a title with Croatia. This summer he came very nearly to a first title with his national team but failed in a penalty shootouts by Spain.

Quote
Joining a Saudi Arabian club is a shortcut, especially for those players who have not been looked at by many European clubs, of course the money they will get is so tempting.
Joining a Saudi Arabia club and be rich is not too bad. I believe Modric will join that league soon, maybe after Euro 2024 as after that, it's impossible for him to aim at World Cup 2026.
Yes, winning a prestigious title is a dream for every player, and Luca Modric has earned it with Real Madrid, but that doesn't just make him satisfied and he still wants to wear a Real Madrid uniform when he is no longer young as he is today. And also he is showing a good game to make Real Madrid still want him to be on the list of squad names that will go through the next season. And also his ability on the pitch with his old age still really deserves to be in the squad.




Don't say a player is not looking at the money or must play in Europe, it's all about your choice, and mind you, some people choose poorly whether you like it or not, but it's their choice. And this still doesn't mean he would not get the offer next year as he only extended his contract by a year with Real Madrid, why not more if he so sees this the way you narrated?

For the record, most players always go for the best offer, and for those that have been well-decorated already, I see no reason why they can't play for the money in the few years remaining in their career. They should think of their retirement above anything else and learn from the former shining players that can no more afford to pay their hospital bills again.
I wouldn't say they don't play for money, because they are also working but their job is a paid hobby. It's clear that they really need money, moreover they will definitely retire and enjoy old age with their family, and of course that requires money. I think we understand when talking about money is the nominal, and it's true that it is a player's choice where they will play. But now it is clear that the nominal money offered will be more when he goes to Arabia.

What? if this happens it will be very surprising I think because of course seeing Mbappe in the last few seasons of course we will definitely think with Madrid without anything else Cheesy
In other conditions, if this really happened, then again Liverpool took an extreme and unexpected turn because they also overtook Manchester United for Gakpo last season. But with other clubs interested than Madrid for Mbappe it would be very interesting given the competition there will definitely be and I'm quite excited about what will happen if two clubs dare with over 200 million for a player.
If Mbappe's transfer to Liverpool takes place, Liverpool will suddenly become one of the big favorites as Manchester City. Actually, from the very beginning I believed that Real Madrid could make the transfer, I still believe in him, but if Liverpool convinces Mbappe, next year the Haaland and Mbappe race will be the scene of a tighter competition in the EPL, that's for sure.

Yep, if indeed Mbappe's transfer to Liverpool is successful and turns Madrid around then Liverpool will indirectly get a strong boost for their attack line and of course the hope for them is very big especially if in the end Mbappe goes to Liverpool then we will see a new rival created between Mbappe and Haaland of course Cheesy
It's just that in this case it's still a little difficult because seeing from this condition there will still be competition because of course we know that even though Madrid doesn't really want Mbappe but I don't know what the media is behind because there could be a surprise with a big offer for Mbappe from Madrid.

To be honest, I always put Real Madrid in the list of names of clubs that will be a big consideration to win the Champions League, for some reason I saw something different from Real Madrid when they were in the Champions League. Maybe for some people what I say is a bit of an exaggeration, but that's not a problem because of course we will always have a different view of the clubs every season.
Yes you are right, that now Mamnchester City has everything they need, they are one of the most stable clubs in recent seasons and they proved that by winning the Champions League this season.

@Jody.Drummer both these team’s have lost a crucial player i.e. Benzema and Gündoğan hence it’ll be very important to see who they buy because if they don’t get quality replacements then they’ll have a difficult time especially in the champions league. Furthermore another team you’ll have ignored is Barcelona and while last season I didn’t think much of them but now I feel that they’ll be a tricky opponent to play against in the champions league.
Even though Manchester City lost Gundogan, I think this can be easily anticipated, especially now that they have also got Kovavic, who can be used as a substitute to fill the void. Not to mention that they are also now trying to approach Rice which Manchester City could have got.
As for Madrid, they did lose Benzema, but in other conditions, at the moment, even though Brahim and Joselu are currently lacking big expectations, at this time the transfer has not been closed, especially since there is still drama going on about Mbappe, now they just need to find a suitable striker. hungry for goals for Madrid, even though Perez said he would not look for any more players but I would not really believe in this.

For Barcelona, last season they were also predicted to be able to talk a lot but in the end for the second time in a row they were in the Europa League because they failed in the group phase. now the hope is still there but it depends on their performance in the end whether they can qualify for the group phase or not.

I'm wondering how Dortmund is going to perform in the next season with their key player because they sold Jude to Real Madrid and got enough money for it, they can now hire hire other players to fill this position in their teams but the during I Know prefers to use the money to grow young talents instead of the hiring superstar players even if if they lose the title for the next season but that's how their bussness works.
Talking about that, of course we will ask questions, even before what they have done this season we will ask questions because they lose valuable players every season. But as we know they can always create new potential young players who will fill in the gaps when players who contribute leave, and I think now will do just that. They are very smart in eyeing potential young players, but they are not smart enough in exploiting them, they are only smart in making a profit from selling these players.
Dortmund's cycle has been predictable since a few seasons ago, which managed to sell their talented players to Europe's top teams with very fantastic transfer fees and it's no wonder they do this almost every season. But this is also not something that should be done continuously and for a team to win a title is one of the dreams that they have to realize apart from the business of selling these talented players. I think Dortmund is still not on par with Bayern Munich and they will still have the same match with the same result if they continue to maintain such a business pattern.
I've talked long ago about this problem because their focus is different.
They know that a club will be looked up to more if they manage to at least win in the domestic competition, Dortmund also wants to be like that, it's just that right now it's creating different conditions and competing for the title with Bayern is a little difficult. Those who were even able to do that last season will eventually have to accept failure which will take a bit of a toll on their mentality and self-confidence.
So there's nothing you can do about something like this. Changing players to make them able to compete with Bayern in domestic competition will require big money and they don't want to experience financial problems in the end so they try to farm in another way when Bayern do farming with titles then Dortmund do farming with good players and can profitable for them.
Broadly speaking, for connoisseurs of the ball, this will be a little annoying, but on the other hand, for Dortmund, who don't only talk about the ball, but also for business, as long as they profit from it, they will definitely do it.

There is obviously a very big difference between a celebrity and an influencer, not every casino or gambling platform can afford to become partners with celebrities whether they are from sports industry or film industry or music industry, because a partnership with one of these celebrities would cost the casino way higher than having multiple influencers promote their services but the impact of all of them combined won't be enough to compete with one of the celebrity's.

Even among influencers, those who have a lot of followers and people watch them very often and they have a lot of views and interactions on their videos and live streams tend to charge more money for promotions than those influencers who are relatively new and has less followers or even if they have many followers but they don't get enough views and interactions.
Also, not many celebrities want to work with casinos because they think about the reputation it has built. And also, they don't want to see their fans playing gambling and getting addicted. But if it's an influencer, the casino can offer them cooperation, especially if the influencer has a lot of fans and often gambles. This will make it easier for the casino to offer the influencer to accept it.

But the casino also doesn't offer cooperation to just any influencer and only chooses influencers with a lot of followers so that lots of people will see videos from that influencer. And usually, if the casino has found the influencer they are looking for, the cooperation offer will last a long time because each casino and the influencer can both benefit.
Yeah right, I rarely see them go for gambling promotion, that's because maybe they think about reputation like you said. But apart from all that, of course I see more of them (influencers) who are more active on social media and more interactive with their fans. I actually don't want to differentiate between celebrities and influencers, but there is a slight difference between them.
They (what we call influencers) are interactive with their fans which is a distinct advantage, because someone who follows them on social media will feel closer and after that they will definitely want to try something that influencer does.
4327  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: As a Gambler and a Die-Hard Fan of a Club Would you Bet Against your Club on: June 27, 2023, 12:56:04 PM
The thing is that, sports bets are not the same as other gambling games where players play for fun,  but in sports bets,  it's all about winning so is not for being a fan but for winning in the bets,  and if the team playing against your team is stronger and likely to win the match then the club will get my winning ticket because it far better to win the bet by selecting the other team instead losing it because you want to show solidarity to your team.

So for me yes,  I would pick a club that will win and not based on being a fan of the other and lose my bet.
Yes, if we draw it into the realm of gambling, then we will think realistically here, even though the club that will compete and will be the opponent for the club that we are betting on is our favorite club or our favorite club.
Precisely this is our chance to be able to increase our chances of winning the bet, because we will definitely know the strengths of our favorite club better and of course with everything we see which club has more potential to win the match. For me the best bet is our favorite club, whether it will be the club we will bet on or vice versa.
4328  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: June 27, 2023, 12:40:14 PM
For the next season of the Champions League, they are two teams they got obviously more chances than other teams.
Real Madrid, if they keep Ancelotti or find a better coach because they got a good player to improve their team.
Manchester City, they got all they need because Guardiola is trying to keep the players they need for the next season and hire players also he is a coach he knows to win the champions league.

Seeing the opportunity to be the strongest candidate next season, I admit that Real Madrid and Manchester City still dominate to become the strongest team to win a trophy. Because they have strong strength in the depth of their squad plus Manchester City who had the best quality players last season, of course they are a team that will be highly reckoned with next season.

Now, if you see the other team's opportunities, maybe they will have great difficulty in providing big resistance for the two teams. However, a number of new challengers are coming back next season such as Manchester United and Barcelona. I think these two teams have relatively good progress after what they have done in the domestic league this season.
TBH I've always put Real Madrid on the list of clubs that would be a big consideration to win the Champions League, somehow I see something different about Real Madrid when they are in the Champions League. Maybe for some people what I say is a bit exaggerated, but it doesn't matter because of course we will always have different views on clubs every season.
It's true that right now Mamnchester City have everything they need, they are one of the most stable clubs in recent seasons and they proved it by winning the Champions League this season.

Saudi Arabia teams are trying desperately to make Allegri join them but also Modric from La Liga rejected a very nice gift from them.
It is about playing competitive football rather than enjoying money which is a little bit surprised.

Modric is a good player and understands that if he leaves Real, his career will end at an unknown club... That's why he chose to continue playing at Real... Nothing surprising about that, money is not the main thing in everyone's life... As for Saudi Arabia, it is interesting to see how they try to attract top players from different leagues to their country... But it seems to me that it won't succeed anyway... They just have a lot of money but little skill...
I don't believe that Luka Modric's career can end uncelebrated anymore, the guy is a well-decorated player that many will always pray to attain his achievements. At 37, the guy is a go for the money if he's wise just like his colleagues in the industry, I wonder what he could still do in the next 2-3 years when he would have clocked 40 years of age. For me, building your retirement should be for players at such an age and it should go to the highest bidder.

Also, contrary to what you said, it's actually working for Saudi Arabia, there is a revolution going on everywhere, must it be other countries/leagues alone? Their strategy is working as people are now following and viewing Saudi League more than ever, and even streaming companies have increased, which includes journalism and means more money and relevance for them.

It's about what people value, and with the look of things, they are valuing the league because of the stars they are wooing there.
At an age like Luca Modric, there are those who start thinking about money, there are those like Modric where when he feels he can play for a top club like Real Madrid, he will be happy to do it and without thinking about the money that is offered to him. Modric himself must have considered what will happen next when he is unable to provide the best for the club, and surely that is a risk that he will be ready to take on later.

If this is for real nobody would have seen it coming!

Liverpool seems now to be the hottest candidate to sign Mbappe, but what the heck is going on? Klopp has been asked often times and he said that it would never ever be possible for Liverpool to bid for Mbappe. Never, he emphasized! Cheesy Now there are many sources that say Liverpool is about to pull the ultimate trigger. I can't believe it, but I would like it. Mbappe as the leader of a whole new project at Anfield Road. This would be amazing. it would be something different than Manchester City and Real Madrid. Even though Liverpool is huge, still nobody would have expected it. That makes it so interesting.
What? if this happens it will be very surprising I think because of course seeing Mbappe in the last few seasons of course we will definitely think with Madrid without anything else Cheesy
In other conditions, if this really happened, then again Liverpool took an extreme and unexpected turn because they also overtook Manchester United for Gakpo last season.

Yes I also have that thought, predicting the junior team is much more difficult than predicting the senior team, and I think we already know that. Experience may be one of the factors why we see a lot like that, when they were young most players were still in passionate feelings, instead I saw that passionate enthusiasm if it couldn't be controlled properly it would have an impact on their quality on the field. It's different from the senior team who already have a lot of experience, and they can already be tested in terms of mentality, so it really influences the game and teamwork.
For junior teams, usually tournamentnets like this will be used as a way to show off their skills to talent scouts so that they will have the opportunity to make their football career shine even more, because of those who play in this tournament maybe only a few percent have played at senior clubs, like in In the English national team, there are Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliot who have played quite often for the Liverpool senior squad
And I was quite curious which of the teams playing were actually the favourites, and it turned out that they weren't much different from the senior team because from first to fifth place there were Spain, France, England, Germany and Italy, and then maybe we can use that benchmark even though favorite team will not always win.

Yep, there are indeed some players who are now quite worth watching and monitoring, especially for talent scouts.
In addition to the names you mentioned, I don't think we can rule out Germany's Moukoko who is now a mainstay of Dortmund or Ryan Gravenberch who is touted as a future Bayern striker.
There's also a new name I'm curious about for England in Levi Colwill, who is currently out of favour at Chelsea but is still doing quite well for a young player.

Although the conditions for the championship are a bit tricky because there will definitely be differences although as you said the favourite team always comes from a country that is quite big in football in the end.

Although Karim Benzema was available in the previous season, Real Madrid tried hard to bring Mbappe into the team as a replacement for Karim Benzema. If Real Madrid had signed Mbappe a season earlier, he might have done a little better in the Champions League. But Karim Benzema has already left the club this season so Real Madrid definitely needs a suitable striker to replace Karim Benzema. In that case, like the previous season, Real Madrid is looking at Mbappe this season as well. Maybe Real Madrid will not get Mbappe in this summer season. But even if Mbappe is not in the team this summer, we expect Mbappe to join Real Madrid in the next winter season.
We can't speculate about the previous season for now because everything can't be changed and right now they just need to focus on their condition for next season.
Currently PSG, Madrid and of course Mbappe are still in a maze. It's still a bit of a pain to see the final result and now it depends on how brave Madir can afford to splash out over 200 million on a player because if they do then Mbappe will definitely be at the Bernabeu for next season, But if indeed Madrid don't dare then it is likely that Mbappe will be the same as the previous season

No doubt Manchester united has been solid ever since Ten Tag took over, he managed to play two cup finals and won one and ended the league in top three,  he has proven beyond reasonable doubt, that he is the man for the job. and if this ownership handover favour the Qatar investor,  I'm convinced that Manchester united will be contending for the title next season and will perform well in the champions league as they used to.

its just unfortunate, that the ownership issue is still delaying and the transfer Market is very on, Manchester united has not brought in any players none sold any. this issues is really affecting the whole club. I just wish it turn out well for the club.
Now we just have to wait about the ownership of Manchester United today because even when we want speed, this is still very difficult because there is a lot that needs to be done considering that the Glazer Family still haven't made a decision.
Ten Hag's plans are still a bit up in the air due to their Inter problems and I hope this doesn't bother them next season especially if they end up not being able to sign many players this winter.
But indeed if in the end this is done and Seikh Jassim stands as owner of the club next season then that will be even better because Manchester United's profits will come when it comes.

Previously, the U17 World Cup was to be held in Peru, but due to several reasons, FIFA could not proceed with it because it considered that the supporting infrastructure for the U17 World Cup was not ready and not feasible, so FIFA canceled it. Then FIFA announced and appointed Indonesia to be the substitute host for this World Cup, maybe this had something to do with the cancellation of the U20 World Cup which was to be held in Indonesia, so FIFA considered Indonesia because it had previously prepared everything for the World Cup in the age group.
This may be medicine for Indonesia after the previous big disappointment because they failed to host the U20 World Cup.

Barcelona made the right transfer move. İlkay Gündoğan will be very successful there. They needed to reinforce the midfield. İlkay Gündoğan is a true maestro who both scores and assists. He will fit perfectly into the FC Barcelona system. It's necessary to make such additions to the champion roster.
Barcelona benefited greatly from their success in signing Gundogan from Manchester City for free. He is a talented player who can play in several positions, his right foot and left foot are equally strong which allows him to play in both left midfield and right midfield positions. He is also able to play well in the defensive midfield position, when the coach needs him to play in that position, he is able to play his role well.

After officially introducing Gundogan as a new player, Barcelona immediately fenced off the player with a high release clause. Reporting from Fabrizio Romano report on his Twitter account, Barcelona installed Gundogan release clause of 400 million Euro. He will be an important player for Barcelona because his experience and talent can help strengthen the Barcelona midfield area and he is also very diligent in scoring goals and assists.


As luck would have it, Barcelona can get Gundogan for free and put up a high price because it is to improve their finances or if not, Barcelona really don't want to lose Gundogan from their club.
I think next season Barcelona will not be as strong as last season even though there are still some other reliable players but the dominance of the club is definitely weakening every season and needs new players to strengthen it but Barcelona can't achieve that and one way is just to charge a high price for Gundogan.
Yes, that includes the luck that Barcelona got when they were able to get Gundogan for free, and indeed in recent seasons Barcelona have often hunted for players they can bring in for free. At the same time, Gundogan also had no objections to joining Barcelona so their process went very smoothly and without any significant obstacles.
with a financial situation that is still difficult, indeed Barcelona must do something like this, they are looking for players whose contracts have ended from their previous club, but of course these players also have good abilities and have the potential to make a big contribution to them.

As I said before, we know what other reasons are behind his decision, and that is indeed his right. If you feel that there is a business behind his decision, then that is very reasonable because he will definitely think about business when he really quits the world of football.
Precisely this is a great step for a player to do something that will make money when he retires from football. and it seems that all the players do this too, yes they start pioneering careers in business to prepare everything they need in old age. And with the great name he has of course it helps him in developing and realizing it.

And to be honest if I had the choice between playing in Miami and making a lot of money and playing Saudi Arabia and making a lot of money, I know what I would do. Smiley

As Messi said he is looking forward to this time and I believe him every word. The great weather and people he gets along with like Beckham and now it seems that also other former Barcelona players come to the MLS.

For the US it is great news as well with their view pointed towards the World Cup 2026. Having Messi in their national league is the best that could happen to them as he will get the show going from now on.


Messi could choose Saudi teams to earn more money or he could choose European teams like Barcelona to play in a team where they can get back home to where he started his career and he could also have the chance to earn more achievements with Barcelona but instead of choosing between money and home he did choose his family and that's why he came to America to live where he can take a rest with his family, That's why he even quit the national team temporarily to avoid any stress, take some rest and have more time to spend with his family.
Yes, it was his decision, whatever the background to his decision, actually we don't have the right to fully know because it is indeed part of privacy if the player doesn't want to say and only says what he wants to say.
Now that Miami is his new place, I just hope he can play as expected, or in the sense that he won't have the same problems he had before at Paris Saint Germain when the Paris Saint Germain fans turned their backs on him.
It could happen, but I don't think it will happen the second time in the last 2 seasons.

This is something to think about because some of the hasty decisions made by current owners and management regarding coaches or players have actually made them worse off.
Potter is indeed very good to train a club which in fact is an ordinary player without star players but indeed for a club like Chelsea, Potter's qualifications are clearly not capable and indeed this is also the case even though his decision is at Chelsea but of course there are those who play a more role and that is management there that made him at Chelsea and made Chelsea not play as well as before.
Now blaming each other is also useless for Chelsea because what they have to do now is improve their performance so that a dark season like this one doesn't happen again for them.
Potter will have a chance to prove his skills, if he really knows how to work with mid-level teams, then there will be many options for him, I mean that there will definitely be teams that want to invite him as head coach. He had a chance at Chelsea, but he didn't take it, maybe he got into a team of this level too early, but it was an invaluable experience. I think Poccettino should do much better with Chelsea as he has experience with very big teams and very importantly he has a lot of experience in the Premier League. After his departure from Tottenham, the team's game began to decline, and this indicates how important he was in the team. His departure from PSG was somewhat incomprehensible, but it doesn’t matter anymore, Chelsea are a team with a great history and great opportunities, Poccettino can reach any heights here.
Potter destroyed Chelsea in record time, despite the fact that they were quite erratic when they were with Thomas Tuchel. I'm not going to completely blame Graham Potter for how Chelsea are feeling this season, but he did play a big part in causing Chelsea to fall apart. It is hoped that the presence of a new coach will boost Chelsea's performance even better, but we also have to see what their new coach can do first.


I am a little sure that Pochettino's arrival will make a change for Chelsea to be better than last season and I heard rumors that Poccettino let several players leave Chelsea and I believe with this attitude there is a clear purpose.
Poccettino has let several players leave, it seems like he will create a new formation with new players who will be bought lately and strengthen performance to be able to return as strong as before, hope is with Poccettino[/left]
As usual, it is expected that a new coach will make a change, and for now it is only a hope because we don't know if he can or can't make Chelsea better in the coming season. In my opinion, expectations are allowed, but expectations should not be too high, because the coach now has to build a foundation from scratch before he can work with his strategy in the game.

Neymar is a very talented player and indeed he is a player who is very unfortunate that he has problems with his health because he is often injured and has to be sidelined a lot to heal the injuries he has experienced. Indeed, injury is one of the factors in which the player is not given much attention because it is thought that he will not contribute much to the club because it is thought that the same thing will happen to him, namely that he will often suffer injuries.
But apart from all that, I quite appreciate him, because in the midst of frequent injuries he has not experienced a significant decline in terms of play, and that is indeed something that is not easy to do.
That's because this player really has very good individual skills, but because of the injury he experienced, he didn't contribute much to the team.
However, I think that a very high salary makes the PSG team not worth it to have Neymar and as long as he is at PSG there is not much he can do to help PSG perform on the European stage.
If you compare Neymar's performance over the past few years, of course, the injuries he has experienced have caused a slight decrease in performance and it is likely that this decline will continue to occur in the future.
For now there is no team that plans to sign Neymar because his salary is too high and in my opinion if PSG continues to keep him it will be a loss for the team.
I think this is appropriate or not, depending on the conditions, maybe it's true that now he doesn't really deserve that kind of salary because with his current performance, what can be said to be unsatisfactory is clearly like giving a salary that doesn't match his portion. but when looking at the previous few seasons I think it was appropriate and when talking about salary there was already a previous agreement between PSG and Neymar, which means that PSG did provide a salary according to Neymar's previous portion.
Talking about injuries is a risk for both the player and the club because indeed such a thing is actually one of those conditions where no one expects because no athlete wants to be injured.
Now his future depends on whether he really wants to move to the Arab League with a bigger salary or still hopes for competition in the European leagues.
