But there is something I didn't really understand. Wasn't Saudi Arabia full into the race for the World Cup 2030? I thought that was one of the main reasons why they signed Ronaldo and all those players for so much money. As far as I understood, wasn't it their initiative to convince the committee and get public support to become the hosts?

Regarding the number of countries and continents involved, I think it isn't a bad thing. Imagine how many people only get to see one World Cup in their home country once in a lifetime, if at all. This solution caters to more people getting the opportunity to become witnesses of a major sports event in their home country.
Maybe Saudi Arabia have got the plans to host the 2030 FIFA World Cup and as a preparation they're much focused in making the Saudi Arabia Pro League popular and have signed popular players. The reality is different, it is the FIFA to decide the host. 2022 FIFA hosted by West Asia country Qatar and once again the 2030 FIFA World Cup by another West Asia Country Saudi Arabia won't be considered that easily.

The plan for the matches to be hosted in three continents and 6 countries is simply different. However the opportunity provided for the small nations to watch FIFA matches on their home country is something great for them and welcoming move from FIFA.

Ok now I see that their planning for the bid for the World Cup 2030 ceased this June. But what I didn't know is that Saudi Arabia will probably host the 2023 FIFA Club World Cup and the 2027 AFC Asian Cup and they immediately announced that their bid will be prepared for the World Cup 2034 as the FIFA already announced that the World Cup will take place in Asia or Oceania region.

This would give them another 10 years to boost their Saudi Professional League further and then go all out when they indeed become the hosts for those World Cup. The point is that the more players they sign with huge followings, the harder it becomes for the FIFA to reject their bid. These guys are strategists in and out and I expect them to pump money into soccer relentlessly until then.
The 2030 FIFA World Cup has been awarded to be co-hosted by Portugal, Spain and Morocco but the opening matches of the tournament will be played in Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay and that's to the centenary anniversary of the FIFA World Cup which was first hosted in Uruguay.
FIFA in their statement said that they'll only accept bids for 2034 World Cup from countries in Asian Football Federation and Oceania Football Federation and that was the reason why Saudi Arabia had announced that they'll be bidding for the 2034 world Cup. It's not yet confirmed but it's believed that they're strong contenders to win the bid

I think the best news for Pep Guardiola and his team is about two palyer they have Stones and Bernardo Silva. Both players are really important and effective for Manchester City.
Manchester City lost the game against Newcastle and I think having some players injured was the main reason for it but this time both players Bernardo Silva and Stones are back in the team and they are recovered from the bad situation they had.
Now Kevin De Bruyne is the only important injured palyer.


Manchester City has somehow struggled to win their matches since some of the important members of their squad were sidelined because of their respective injuries and that has got people comparing them to the Manchester City team that lifted the treble last season.
So the return of John Stones and Bernardo Silva will definitely be a very good news for them and their manager who's always tried to rotate the limited squad he has already. They play away at the Emirates stadium against Arsenal this weekend in the English Premier League and are hoping to win that game in other to maintain their lead at the top of the premier league table.

Real Madrid's match with Napoli actually both looked impressive in terms of possession of the ball even though Real Madrid had taken the lead early in the first half and in the second half Real Madrid greatly benefited from an own goal from a Napoli player, making Real Madrid win the match. In La Liga, Real Madrid has also been ahead of its rivals and is in first place after beating Girona at the Estadi Municipal de Montilivi without reply.
If you look at the statistics of the game, Napoli were superior because they managed to control the ball well, but unfortunately they still lost even though it was only one goal difference. This shows that Napoli's strength is actually on par with Real Madrid, and it could be said that Napoli is a worthy opponent with Real's strength. Madrid. Hopefully, Napoli will still have the opportunity to meet Real Madrid again so they can avenge the defeat they received in yesterday's match.
Real Madrid isn't a perfect team that will always be better in possession in every game they play but the ability to win in games they didn't have more of possession of the ball is a true testament that the club is always resilient in their bid to always win.
Their performance against Napoli was nothing short of good and I think they deserves to be praised than to be reminded of their shortcomings as a club. It's not an easy task task to go to the Diego Armando Maradona stadium in Naples and a pick all three points from the game.

It's been a very bad night for PSG. Newcastle United crushed them. No one could have predicted it would end like this.
This was the most enjoyable game of the night.

M.City scored 2 goals in 6 minutes and won the game.
RB Leipzig were very close to getting 1 point.


PSG isn't getting better in their appearance in the champions League who knows if this season will be their worst appearance so far since they lost tonight against the Newcastle team that has no experience and losing with a 4:1 goal margin shows how weak the PSG defense has become.

Firstly before the game started my prediction has been PSG has taken all the 3 points but Newcastle proved that they are back on track by giving PSG a humiliating defeat to take all the points at home.

For the Manchester City game, it is an expected result from the defending champions this shows how improved the team has become always coming from behind to win matches and their ability to utilize every opportunity they have got within few minutes to score goals is one special thing about the team, good performance they put up and an excellent 3 points to keep them as the group G leaders with 6 points.
Very few persons among millions of football fans across the globe would've predicted that Newcastle will be at the top Group F after two games as well as beating Paris Saint Germaine with a convincing 4:1 win. Eddie Howe gotta be the best English manager at the moment for what's he's been able to do with his Newcastle team.
Paris Saint Germaine's manager Luis Enrique isn't showing any sign to prove that he deserves the managerial role at the club. It's absolutely very poor of him to be losing matches against weaker teams.

Before Ronaldo’s arrival Talisca has been an important player for the team and for a player with so much quality it is only right for him to shine along side Ronaldo in the team, he is a goal scorer that’s why it’s easy for him to shine as well. Al Nassr attackers are all goal scorers that is why they score 3 goals and more in almost every match they play and in this way they can easily challenge for the trophy. They are just 2 points behind the league leaders so there are still in the title race.
Al Nassr are among the favorite team clinching for title, the Knights of Najd is elite club who want the very best results in SPL. With the presence of frontline vital players, Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mane and Talisca, scoring goals have been made easy for the team. They have ultimate targets to hits this season, moving into more considerable essential spots on SPL table with the aides of frontlines who doesn't relent in games. Al Nassr keeps consistent winning this season, they're able to achieved it because of the star line-ups, who are ready to take the team to next level.
Al Nassr having been achieving their first target as they sign Cristiano Ronaldo for this club and bring in this league with now their second target is winning the Saudi League and also having AFC Champions League title which is also looking good until now because after losing two early matches now they have good record with 9 matches winning streak and right now with their performance and quality look like things could be good for them to have these titles in this season.

Ronaldo is having company of Sadio Mané and Talisca which are giving their best and currently after having 24 goals from 8 matches things are clearly indicating what is their target for this season and how they will be in coming days as well. From these 24 goals we have 20 from their three main players which is amazing stuff and if they have no injury then surely things could be at different level until end of this season for the Saudi League and Al Nassr club.
Cristiano Ronaldo's goal on Monday was his first the Asian Champions League while Talisca scored two goals to help Al Nassr beat Istiklol and that's why I think both players are very important to the team. The truth is that no player can authoritatively say he's the sole reason behind the club's current impressive performance.
Al Nassr is club that's made up of football stars and will always do better as a team than when the players wants to show their individual brilliance.
2586  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: October 04, 2023, 02:57:38 PM
If Bayern Munich do not achieve the maximum this season, it is entirely their own fault. Bayern Munich is a full team this season. The team management has not left any weakness in this team so it is natural that their expectations will be the highest with this team. 
Bayern Munich have looked consistent in the Champions League so far and they will look to maintain their consistency in the Champions League. Besides being consistent in the Champions League, they need to be a consistent enough team in the Bundesliga to win the Bundesliga title as well as do well in the Champions League. 

We won't be surprised if Bayern Munich win the Champions League and Bundesliga this season.
The key is for Bayern Munchen to be consistent and focused on getting points. Tuchel has a tough task to make FC Hollywood continue to dominate the Bundesliga. Improved performance of Laberkusen, Vfb, Dortmund and Leipzig could be a real threat to Munchen, Laverkusen leads the top of the points table and Vfb is below it, with a difference of 2 points. Munchen must be willing to sit in 3rd place in the standings. I think it proves that this season is more competitive than the previous season, Tuchel has to be really alert.

Even though he is the favorite in the two competitions UCL and Bundesliga, sometimes bad results can happen at any time. With two consecutive wins in the group phase making Munchen lead the Group A standings, I think Munchen can easily qualify for the last 16 with group winner status and get perfect points.
All Bayern Munich matches should be watched very seriously. No matter where they play in the Bundesliga or the Champions League, they have to worry about winning all their matches and if a match is too difficult for them, they should not drop points in that match. If they think they don't need to practice much because they are Champions League or Bundesliga favorites then they are wrong. 
Opponents are never weak, each opponent must be taken as their much stronger opponent. They can play at their best whenever they see the opponent too big. Bayern Munich should be a consistent team from the beginning to the end of the season. 

Bayan Munich are unbeaten so far and need to continue this streak and focus hard on the two matches they have shared points with.
Bayern Munich needed an 83rd minutes goal from Mathys Tel to defeat Copenhagen yesterday in their UEFA Champions League game and that I think goes long way to explain how not-so-good Bayern has been in some of the matches they've played since the start of the season. But the good thing is that despite not having a clear impressive performance yesterday, Bayern Munich were able to take all three points from that game.
They need to improve in their performance as a team if they really want to have a better campaign than what they had last season.

Gambling responsibly isn't an advice but a necessity for anyone who wants to get involved in gambling. Gambling is one engagement that's rendered many people useless and those are the people who ended up as gambling addicts because of the fact that they chose not to gamble responsibly. Gambling responsibly will help a gambler to know when he's losing a lot of money and to quit for the day instead of trying to get everything he's already lost. It's helps regulate the emotions of gamblers thereby helping them make good use of gambling instead of going bankrupt because of gambling.

I am almost sure that Osimhen will leave Napoli. You will have to pay a lot of money for it. Chelsea are ready to pay this money and they can handle this burden financially. The biggest advantage for Chelsea is that Osimhen is very interested in playing in the Premier League. I am sure he will achieve success with Chelsea in the Premier League.
Osimhen base price is actually around €120m, it is according to transfermarkt. But Napoli president always tells us non sense price for Osimhen. It is likely no interest to sell Osimhen to other clubs. The latest news I read, De Laurentiis will only consider an offer above €500 million for Osimhen. I think no club wants to sign him at that price, it is too crazy. Even I doubt Chelsea has an interest to sign Osimhen if Napoli only wants the offer above €500 million.

It would be difficult to see a club that would sign Osimhen for €500 however if it finally happens it's going to make him the player with the all time highest transfer price, but I doubt if that would happen cause even the Saudi's wouldn't want to spend that much to get him and Osimhen In person wouldn't want to over to the Saudi Pro League yet, cause he still has lots to achieve in the European competitions.

 The inflation in his release clause is to scare off other clubs that would come in demand for him by summer, just like PSG did with Mbappé this summer, it's obvious that they've got no Interest to sell him, but I feel they'll be forced to reduce their asking price to the normal €120 or 150 if Osimhen decides to leave the club and try to force a transfer out of the club which is very possible by summer,Chelsea are really in need of a striker but I don't think it would be Interest for him to move over there.
Despite the fact that's he's been very prolific for his club Napoli, there's no way Victor Osimhen's market value will reach €500 million. The truth is that during the summer transfer window, Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis was trying to scare other European big clubs away with very high price for any club that comes for the services of the Nigeria international and that's because if the fact that he didn't want to let him leave the club in the summer.
That being said, it's understood that Osimhen had a little misunderstanding with the club recently and reports has it that he wants leave in the club in the winter transfer window. So if the reports are true, Osimhen might leave Napoli in January but in anything about £250 million

Children are the smartest set of beings and they are very fast in learning from whatever they find around them and that's why adults are advised to be sensitive enough to know what to do and not to do around children and which gambling is one the vices children shouldn't be introduced to.
Adults gamble because they either want to gamble for fun or because they want to find financial aid from it and as adults, they can regulate themselves and know when to quit. But any child that's introduced to gambling is likely to ruin his/her life with gambling because as children they wouldn't know the implications of gambling addiction hence they'll always do it because they saw an adult who was doing. It's very bad to gamble around kids
2590  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: October 04, 2023, 01:41:23 PM
Galatasaray is in great shape, but by all means I can't conceive of Manchester United finishing this game as the loser. I think if this game ends with a loss, ten Hag will also be under immense scrutiny. I think he is already, but as long as he now delivers some acceptable results, it will remain quiet in Manchester. This game is one of the most important games for ten Hag I think. Galatasaray would shut up the stadium pretty quickly with an early goal in that game. It would be a shocker to everyone.
Galatasaray would try to play the ball by long over head passes so as to weaken or discourage Manchester united from playing a settled-ball-on-the-ground football.
If Manchester can hold onto possession, it might not be enough because like I hinted, Galatasaray are known for long passes and crosses which might be overwhelming for the Manchester United players.
I do think Manchester united will play to a hard fought win and am sure of an above 2.5goal margin.

Now we know that Istanbul Galatasaray did exactly the right thing to beat Manchester United. These 3 points are invaluable for the Turkish club and what chances are left for them in the group? I am trying to think about a backdoor for them, but what should that look like? They will need a lot of luck now because apart from the two games against Copenhagen, which won't be easy either as Copenhagen has played a great game against Bayern at home, Manchester United now has to go to Istanbul and try to win the game there. That will be difficult because I think the Galatasaray fans will go nuts and be at least the 12th, if not the 13th player on the pitch. They need to win at least one game out of the two against Galatasaray or the home game against Bayern. If that doesn't happen, it is over. 
Like I predicted before the match, Galatasaray came all the way from Turkey and defeated Manchester United in their own home ground. Manchester United is a big European club without doubt but their performances since the start of the season has been very poor and that was why I was of the opinion that they must be at their best against Galatasaray if they want to take anything away from the game. The Turkish champions have never lost a league match since the start of the season and that tells more of how good they are.
With United's result yesterday, they'll have to win all their remaining fixtures in the group stage to stand a good chance of progressing to the knockout stages of the competition

Aparently make Lukaku as centre striker to replace Tammy Abraham position seems good very choice because 4 goals from 5 matches in all competitions was showing Lukaku gradually has found his shape again with Roma and last week he can able to scored and bringing Roma to ended their poor results in Serie A and win from Frosinone and for next week i think Roma have potention to resumes their winning streak because this weekend Roma will facing weak team Cagliari and obviously not required to analysis because Roma is clearly better than Cagliari and i am confident Roma will ended this match with the winning result and collect 3 points
I was very surprised to see that Romelu Lukaku was struggling to get offers from European big clubs in the summer after  the contract of his loan spell at Inter Milan was over and the main reason for my surprise is the fact that the Belgium international is a world class striker that's very prolific in front of goal. But fortunately for Roma and the player, he was signed on loan to play for them through out the 2023/24 season.
Since his arrival at Roma, he's be very instrumental to the team and should continue to lead Roma's attack. They have a game against Cagliari and I think it'll be a good decision of Jose Mourinho starts him in that match

Hi guys,
Lucky me actually..
Wow, what a pleasant sensation, isn't it? from an unintentional mistake ending in happiness, of course, this rarely happens, and as far as I remember, I once did it, but the mistake didn't result in anything good because it only cost me my money because I placed the wrong bet amount of, I'm pretty sure it's almost impossible to happen again, and actually, it's just a coincidence, and if you continue the game thinking that you are having a lucky day the result might be the opposite, but losing the amount you have earned is not a problem because at least you get pleasure from this unexpected event.
Gambling is a game of luck and that's why anything can happen including unexpected things. For instance, sometimes last year a friend of mine went to a betting shop to place his bet in one of the betting companies but a mistake by the betting company agent was the reason he got very different games from the one he wanted to bet on. The mistake wasn't spotted immidiately and when he got home, it was already late to make complaints as the matches has already started. After the matches, he checked his betting slip to see that he won his bet and was so happy about it.
2593  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you gamble till old age or not on: October 04, 2023, 01:17:01 PM
It depends on the conditions that I will experience in the future, if currently I am still comfortable gambling and there are no burdens in my life of course I will continue to gamble even though I don't know how long I will stop and age is not yet an expectation. benchmark for me to just stop.
The most important thing is to know the limits in gambling, including time limits and limits on bets to be played. Apart from that, we also have to have useful activities or hobbies so that we don't just gamble and don't become addicted.
Gambling is not something to be comfortable about in old age why not get an investment that is more mature and you can always have peace of mind, just imagine betting when you are sixty and you know how betting comes with much expectation if you continue betting at that age then it will have its own way of affecting your health, but if there is enough money it far better to go for agriculture like livestock to keep you a little busy and animals are fun due to some of their displays. the percentage of people that know their limit is very small, if there is a limit it will do us good. when you go to some betting centers you still find some old men still placing bets and the funny thing is that have not seen them win.

It is better we enjoy it now while it last because when we ge to old age, the strength, vigour, enthusiast and excitements and fun in it couldn't be compared to the time when we were still young, the older we go the more the reduction in what we do or have mind with, everything has it own time and it's specific duration, an old man should use the little money he has or earned to maintain his living and eat well and not to be gambling with it.

Gambling for a fact has helped a lot of people across the globe to elevate from their poor financial status and become financially bouyant especially people that's been very careful in their engagements in the game. It has also rendered thousands of people useless as a result of their carelessness in gambling and using it as their as their major source of income.
Looking at the gambling and it's activities, one can clearly understand that it's something that's meant for people in their youthful ages and not for old people because they might not be able to control the shock that comes with huge winnings as well as the shock of losing heavily in gambling.

I don't think Real madrid is very strong.  Several weaknesses in their squad are quite visible. There is no experienced striker in the squad . The team depends on their midfielders . The team is especially  dependent on bellingham's performance. Bellingham did not play well against atletico madrid, as Madrid lost the match 3–1. Now,  if Bellingham suffers an injury, madrid's performance is likely to  deteriorate.

It is true that barcelona's performances are still somewhat erratic . Still  the team is strong enough. I say this because they have enough talented players in attack, midfield and defense. And if the players can adapt themselves well to Xavi's match tactics then Barcelona's performances will be more consistent and stronger.
Yes, I also think that the current Real Madrid team is too dependent on just a few players and when these players are absent it has quite an impact on the team's performance. Bellingham is quite sacred in midfield with a very big role and it was also clearly visible when Real striker Vini was injured. Madrid was quite bad and now after Vinicius' return it has helped lift Real Madrid's performance.
So with the season still very long, of course Ancelotti will not be calm with his existing squad, they are very vulnerable to being inconsistent in maintaining their good performance.
Indeed, currently the Real Madrid team is in good form, their position in the standings is also good, but I doubt that they will be able to maintain it until the end of the season.
Real Madrid might not be at their best currently but they've been getting good results domestically and in Europe and deserves to be accorded some respect for what they've been able to achieve this season. Carlo Ancelotti has been doing exceptionally well in managing his team despite the fact that the club's management were unable to sign good replacement for their former striker Karim Benzema in the summer transfer window.
How can you say that a club that's currently at the top of the Spanish La Liga table and also topping their group in the UEFA Champions League after winning their first two matches in the competition aren't a strong club.

I don't know why they are doing this but even after all the negative news from Antony and his case, still they let this palyer start training with the team. Antony had his first training after the case against him.
I'm sure if they play even one game with Antony playing for Mcnashter United, the fans of Manchester United will be unhappy to see this palyer playing for their team.
We know Ten Hag needs to improve the team situation and he needs to have more players in the team but using a palyer like Antony will not help this team because he can change the atmosphere in Macnshter Unitred in a negative way.
I think they had to wait until they close the case completely.


Anthony has been cleared of any wrong doing and that's why he was allowed to rejoin the Manchester United first team training which means that he might feature in United's game against Galatasaray in the UEFA Champions League competition on Wednesday.
Manchester United lost their last league game against Crystal Palace last weekend in a game many thought they were gonna win comfortably and with the return of Anthony to Erik Ten Hag's team, he might be be the reason they'll win their UEFA Champions League game on Wednesday.

Atletico Madrid came back from 2-0 down to win the match 3-2 and move up to 4th place with 16 points despite having a game in hand. In the first half, Cadiz scored the goals with accurate shots. Cadiz, who had 2 shots on target and scored 2 goals, managed to score a goal 5 minutes later and although Atletico Madrid closed the first half 2-1 down, it was not easy for them to turn the game around. At the beginning of the second half, the Madrid team equalized with Molina and won the match 3-2 with the second goal scored by Correa.
Barcelona remain the only unbeaten team in the league so far. Real Madrid's defeat of Girona this week was impressive for them. At the moment Real madrid is 1 point ahead but it seems that the championship fight between the teams will be close.

Diego Simeone should be very happy after this game, Diego Simeone and his palyer were losing the game with a 2-0 result against Cadiz, and losing this game could put him under pressure because so far in this season Atletico Madrid couldn't have a good performance at all. But they didn't give up even after the 2- result and especially in the second half of this match Atletico Madrid had a perfect performance against Cadiz.
Now they have 16 in the seven games they had so far.
Coming from two goals down to win in the Spanish La Liga isn't something that happens very often and that's why Diego Simeone deserves all the praises for their result against Cadiz. With that crucial win, they're five points behind league leaders Real Madrid while a having a game at hand. A win their outstanding game will take them to just two points behind Real Madrid which will keep their Spanish La Liga title hopes alive.

PSG is paying more attention than they should to Mbappe. He is just a player and if they give him more attention than they should, there is the possibility for other players to be unhappy because of giving more attention to Mbappe than other palyer. However we saw this season in some games even without Mbappe, PSG could still win the games. Also, since his players are about to leave at the end of this season, maybe they should start seeking alternatives for this player now.


What kind of attention are you talking about these days? I have been reading sports news here and there and Mbappe isn't really in the news or is he? The fact that he is playing is due to his quality and not because anyone pays him more attention than others based on some mood. They should try to improve their game in almost all positions. Mbappe is doing quite well, but he can do better, too. But for him it is almost like he is waiting for the Champions League games all the time.
I haven't read in any of the European sports tabloids about Kylian Mbappe being singled out for criticisms or anything like that. The Frenchman international might not be at his best at the moment but we mustn't forget that he's been doing well since he returned to action this season. He's the top scorer in the French Ligue 1 and despite the fact that he was unable to help his team score against Clermont in their last weekend match, Mbappe still remain a huge asset for his PSG side. They have a UEFA Champions League game this week and I think he's gonna help his club secure all three points from that game

~~ Snip ~~

That is correct but not to forget that the three games against the first three ranked teams are still to be played. So the hard stuff is still pending, but I think those are the games that I would also spend some time on to watch the highlights as I really want to know how the best teams over there are doing against each other. Ronaldo currently also tries to get along better. If I know correctly he didn't have any minor scandals, is focused on the game and he can even enjoy goals of his teammates. Quite rare for him but seems to work now.
Of course we are waiting when Al Nassr meets other favorite SPL teams, the consistency of getting points will be determined in such matches. There is no doubt about Cristiano Ronaldo scoring goals, we hope the Portuguese man can do it in big matches or SPL derbies. The top of the standings is currently very competitive, the difference in points between them is very thin, entering the ninth week it looks like there will be significant changes.

In my opinion, there is one interesting match in week 9, Al Ittihad will host Al Ahli. In a match featuring a European stage, Al Ittihad has a greater chance of securing full points this time.
With the current performance of Al Nassr, meeting other big Saudi Arabian clubs wouldn't be scary for them as a team because they seem to have found the best possible pattern that helps them play at their best.
 In the coming weeks they're gonna face the team's that are ahead of them in the league table and I think with the current confident level of Al Nassr, winning those matches is more likely to happen. Cristiano Ronaldo is currently on fire for his Saudi club and with him in full fitness, winning the Saudi Pro League is very possible for Al Nassr

It's a fierce battle in Germany. It is hard to predict who will be the champion. Because when we look at the teams, they all seem to be stronger than each other and frankly I don't think there is a clear favorite right now. I can say that each team has an equal chance. The first 5 teams seem to have equal chances for the championship at the moment. Dortmund, Bayern Munich and Leverkusen are yet to lose in the league. Stuttgart, on the other hand, has had good results in all their matches except the one against Leipzig. Stuttgart had a chance to win that game, but they played badly in the second half and conceded goals.
Great to see that Bayern Munich is facing a strong competition from Bayer Leverkusen in the race for who wins the German Bundesliga this season unlike we've seen in the last 11 seasons in the German top flight league.
Xabi Alonso has to take much of the credit for transforming his Bayer Leverkusen side to a very strong and competitive team. Stuttgart have also being scintillating with their performances this season as they're a point better that Bayern Munich in the German Bundesliga table.

Lamine Yamal is ready to sign a professional contract with a 3-year contract. This means that Yamal will be with Barcelona in these 3 years. Yamal is currently 16 years old. There is an interesting thing with the release clause. Lamine Yamal could be released for 1 billion euros or £867 million. It's a fantastic clause.

In addition, Barcelona opened talks with Corinthians. They are interested in 18-year-old Brazilian midfielder Gabriel Moscardo. Namaknya Moscardo is a 2024 transfer target.

Barcelona have set Lamine Yamal's release clause at €1 billion. Lamine Yamal is a very valuable footballer. He is the youngest player to play for the Spanish national team and score a goal and the youngest player to play for Barcelona and make an assist. To be honest, I don't think he is as big a talent as Messi, but I felt the same feeling watching Lamine Yamal as I felt watching Messi for the first time in Barcelona. Talents like that are not easy to find. He is like a rare diamond. I'm sure Xavi will treat him very carefully.
Good move by Barcelona to put a huge price tag on their rising star Lamine Yamal. The young player has been absolutely impressive since the start of the season both for Barcelona and Spanish national team. With his current performance, many European big clubs will definitely want to sign him and playing a  €1 billion price tag on him will scare most of the clubs away from the young Spaniard. Comparing him with Messi when he was in Yamal's current age isn't the right thing to do now because he might end up achieving more in football than Messi did
