⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

Ronaldo told in an interview that he has played for European club and now be wants to play for Arab club . He took this decision very sensibly as he knew he wasn't getting any offers from Europe and A Nassr was very wiling to sign him with such good pay package.  

No man, Ronaldo itself was really wanna play in EU but since he has not gotten any club that wanna give him a new contract and then he has decided move to the arabian league. So many times ronaldo has been sending various offers to the so many clubs but none of these clubs were showing interest towards him. Ronaldo has no chance again to perform in EU. I guess money was not the problem in this case since he was also biggest football influencer in the world. THe problem is he is not yet finding a new club. if he was still try to continue wait for the new team to call him with no ETA

here are more transfer rumors and completed deals...
Dejan Lovren returns to olympique lyon after almost ten years. the ligue 1 club announced on monday that the croatian world cup participant will receive a contract until summer 2025.
Cristiano Ronaldo's new club al-nassr has reportedly identified Sergio Ramos (psg) as its next big-name signing for 2023.
manchester united, arsenal london and fc chelsea have all been approached by João Félix's agent, Jorge Mendes, and are currently considering making a move for the atlético forward

[Marvell1]

Well, we can see that everyone says that it's the end of CR7's career, but seeing that he's a player like CR7, I don't see it that way, I think that there can be many things to do, the player has a great future, The fact that he has gone to Al-Nassr does not mean that he is a totally buried player, he is a player who can play at any level, and I hope that if he can regain his confidence and potential in the Middle East, it would not be bad. idea, the great goalkeeper who was from Napoli in Italy will also be playing next to Ospina, so it could be that the player that everyone thinks is finished is not finished, he just came out of the failure of Portugal once he went to train at Real Madrid, and it is a pity that Florentino Pérez has not caught him, even if it is 6 months.

When I said it's sad to see the end of his career, I'm not talking only about the choice to go to Al Nassr, but in general, because he's 37 and we know the end is near, even for him.
We won't see anymore his memorable matches in Uefa Champions League, we won't see him making a hat trick in an important european match or playing among the best players in the world, this is the meaning when I said about the end of his career.
He'll probably make good matches with Al Nassr, lot's of goals and he's probably going to be the best player of national championship hehehe, but again, it's sad.
Maybe he'll end his career in Sporting, and the team have a good chance to play the UCL.
And there's a chance to see him at Euro 2024, but I don't know about being a starter or a bench player, like in Qatar 2022.

Right now, I see a lot of people making dumb comparisons between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi after Ronaldo joined Al Nassr.

A lot of people are saying that PSG does not have any Champions League and Cristiano Ronaldo’s current club also does not have any Champions League. So they are equal!

Those are really dumb comparisons. I am not saying that Cristiano Ronaldo made any mistakes or anything like that. All I want to say is that he made the right decision. No Champions League-playing team is willing to take him on for such a high salary. Because there are a lot of younger players who actually perform better than him. And they can also dedicate their time to the team and the club for a longer period of time.

[Slow death]

I wonder why Ronaldo's move to Al-Nassr is seen as a mistake; a reduction in his standard. Let's face it, the amount being paid him a year is enough to feed one small country, hehe..just kidding. But honestly, won't blame hos actions or choice because the way I see it, the dude does not want to lose out totally. With clubs refusing to sign him and all.

Most of Ronaldo's fans still want their idol to play in big European clubs. that is why, there are many who say his move to the Arab League was a mistake. however, the real problem was that no European league club expressed their desire to sign Ronaldo even though at that time he was a free transfer player.

There is a lot of speculation if a European league club brings in Ronaldo. apart from the problem of very high salaries, Ronaldo also wants to play as a regular player. because of this, that is the consideration of most clubs to sign him this January. after all, his performance has declined greatly because it cannot be denied that at his current age, he cannot force himself to perform as brilliantly as he did in his prime.

In fact, Ronaldo's agent "Jorge Mendes" has tried to offer Ronaldo's services to many clubs in the last season's transfer window. but the fact is, as we know. in the end, Ronaldo didn't have many options and he ended up signing with Al-Nassr.

ronaldo's ego has blinded him so much that he can no longer see that his age has reduced his abilities as a player, he no longer has the same speed he had in the past, he has not been able to do the dribbling he did in the past, he doesn't have the same ability to score goals anymore, so this is a situation where he should have lowered his ego

but the biggest problem from what I see is that he doesn't want to have a low salary and he doesn't want to play in some small team, for that reason he chose a big team from an Arab country where he will earn a high salary and with that he will continue to appear in the media, of course he is forgetting that his fame there is temporary, in a few months everyone will forget about him

on why all the big clubs didn't want him apart from the reasons i already mentioned i think the core of the problem is that ronaldo has been complaining about the coaches constantly, and adding that interview where he just leaked all of manchester unted's internal problems so all clubs are afraid that he will repeat the same thing if they hire him

[MoonOfLife]

Is Ronaldo's decision to join Al Nassr a big mistake? The reason for his decision is unknown to me, of course. It was not just financial considerations that led to the decision to go to Al Nassr. Other incentives don't exist for going there. There is no need for money, but he should hold onto his legacy. There was a link to FC Porto, which I thought would have been perfect, as it would have provided an opportunity to play European football.

I don't think it was a bad decision because an offer of high salary is always hard for someone who is 37 years old to refuse. Does Ronaldo still care about his career in Europe, it seems not and now he is more concerned with big projects at the end of his career.  Ronaldo may have realized that he would no longer be able to compete on the European stage with a number of players who were younger and faster than him. There's a lot of pressure for him to play in the top league, it's because he's a superstar.
Al Nassr themselves also have big plans behind their success in signing Ronaldo, and from a business perspective I think they will get a big profit even if they have to pay Ronaldo a fairly high amount. Maybe it was a tough decision for Ronaldo but he knows what he has to do in the next 2-3 seasons to increase his wealth rather than his playing career.

It does not seem to me like a bad idea for Cristiano Ronaldo to join the Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr FC at this time. Because all of the reasons for him not to do so are to do with the fact that he did not receive any other offer from any European club, and this is a very serious problem. In addition to the above, it is pertinent to keep in mind that if we look at the view of other clubs, it is evident that they will not be able to afford Cristiano Ronaldo on such a high salary that would be suitable for a player of his age. In light of all of these factors, I think joining the Saudi Arabian club is a good deal for both sides.

So many times ronaldo has been sending various offers to the so many clubs but none of these clubs were showing interest towards him. Ronaldo has no chance again to perform in EU. I guess money was not the problem in this case since he was also biggest football influencer in the world. THe problem is he is not yet finding a new club. if he was still try to continue wait for the new team to call him with no ETA

Exactly Ronaldo has been waiting for offers from clubs in Europe to invite him to join them. Since no one interested took an interest in him, he also took up other offers that came from outside Europe. Money was not Ronaldo's goal in joining Al Nassr, because in the transfer market last season Ronaldo had wanted to leave Manchester United because he wanted to play in the Champions League.

What is clear is that now we will see one of the best players in the world will play for the Arab league, and that means we will not see another appearance in Europe at club level at least until his contract runs out. It could be that there will be another surprise in the next transfer market when he returns to Europe again right? lol. I didn't expect that, but I wouldn't rule out this happening.
He has decided to play in Arabia with a very fantastic salary. What I see is how influential he is for the Arab league itself. We can see now from the number of followers who have signed him on social media which has increased dramatically, I also heard that television stations will be broadcasting Arab league matches in droves.

After Chelsea brought in Aubameyang I thought the team will improve very quick.  But I'm not seeing any improvement from Chelsea instead.  Most of the big teams in the English  premier league are showing improvement but only Chelsea is still remaining stagnant,   no improvement at all.

Aubameyang is no longer a top quality footballer, i actually thought Chelsea would make a move for Ronaldo before he went to Al Nassr, but that wasn't to be, i guess they had other ideas in their head. Having said that, Chelsea's problem isn't solely on Aubameyang, it is a team issue, Sterling that came into the team in the summer from City isn't doing too great, but prolly not too bad as well. The thing is, at this point in time Chelsea look quite average, they do not have that top club mentality anymore, and imo that problem stems from the manager Graham Potter, he isn't a big club manager and i have said it a couple of times before, Chelsea deserve better and i don't think they'll achieve much, if anything with Graham Potter as their coach.

[bitgolden]

Ronaldo has considered his decision even though he previously said he wanted to end his career with honor in European competition. Ronaldo's decision to accept Al Nassr offer was very surprising, he could still choose MLS as a place to continue his career. He has his own reasons for choosing to join Al Nassr rather than staying in Europe or moving to MLS, looking for a new atmosphere in a different league can be used as an excuse even though some people think the reason he joined Al Nassr was because of money.

I think the reason is the money and nothing more. Not the money itself directly, but because he was seen as an idol and offered such a huge amount. Could he go to Bayern and say "please hire me, I would work for just a million euros, I would accept being benched as well please get me!" and Bayern wouldn't? Most teams would want him for that type of money, but that would be humiliating for him and I do not think that he would be fine with it.

Here, he would be starting all games, hell they fired the guy who did not give up number 7 jersey number just so Ronaldo could take it, which is a proof that he is seen as an amazing player for them and this type of respect was the thing he looked for.

For the ones who still have doubts on why he went there.

that's a very big salary but may we see sergio ramos will be moving there too? As far as i know that sergio ramos has got an offer from al nassr. There are some names who under target by al nassr
- Sergio ramos
- Busquets
- Kante
The list might increase as al nassr has an ambitious project to recruit more free transfer players. I think that sergio ramos has got a very big offer like ronaldo.

I think if the Saudi Arabian team Al Nassr is able to pull off the Sergio Ramos deal right after securing the Cristiano Ronaldo deal, football is going to blow up in the middle eastern country.

They have already acquired Cristiano Ronaldo and it seems that they are currently linked with a few more free-transfer players. We all know that the Saudi Arabian teams will not have a problem with money as they have an abundance of them. So I think they will start to attract more players in the near future which is good for football itself as it will expand more.

Even a single Ronaldo playing in a team in the middle east is a big case, I don't know how it will make a difference if the names are spoken. It's obvious that there is no European-grade football in the middle east, but people really like it. I think Ronaldo did the right thing, he didn't want any team, he evaluated the offer of a good salary correctly, other football players of old age can do this.

I do not know if Sergio Ramos is going to go to Al Nassr right now.
Because he has a good thing going on in PSG right now.
But the thing is if they are offering a better amount compared to PSG, I think Sergio Ramos should consider that offer.

About Joao Felix, he has great talent. It will be great for any team to get him in the team right now. 
I am sure that one of the teams which his agent approached, he’s going to get him.

By the way, is Neymar staying in PSG?

European players will soon have a test of the Saudi Arabia league after they pull up the deal of the one of the greatest player in football history. Ronaldo is aging and offering him big contracts is rather consider as slight good difference in the team. Cristiano Ronaldo is a gold investment for the team in the Saudi Arabia league after a big move to the team. Ronaldo influence on the team is a positive one with gigantic funds and fans praising AZl Nassr.

[fuguebtc]

at this time he swallowed his own saliva and chose to get the biggest salary in the history of world football. Ronaldo might also think there will be no Europa League club that can afford al Nassr's current salary of 200 million Euros.

He had forgotten what he said. Besides the most important thing is that no european club is willing to sign him at the moment. Perhaps this is due to the nature that has been done while at Man United. I think a lot of european clubs are afraid he's going to repeat that, besides maybe the coaches are afraid of not being able to control his behaviour.
After Ramos, it turns out that another rumor is Modric. Al-Nassr makes a big surprise if this happens. But at the moment Modric is still a mainstay of Madrid, maybe for January it seems impossible that he will leave.

He did not have any other option. He had the option to take a huge amount of money and play for a relatively less-known club. And on the other hand, his second option was not to play at all and wait for some big team to get him in the team. Which obviously was not going to happen.

So, if you put it that way, there is only one logical choice for anyone. And I think Cristiano Ronaldo made a good logical choice.
After getting Cristiano Ronaldo Al Nassr they are obviously going to be interested to bring in some more star players to the team.
Won't be surprised if they target Messi...

Without a doubt Aubameyang is a great player, he did very good things for Barcelona, in fact he is the best player for me who put Barcelona at the top when Xavi needed to be promoted, for me it was not a good idea to let him go, yes, I know that Lewa is a very great player, but even Lewa himself needs a good partner to be able to show off and shine for a team, in the case of Aubameyang for Chelsea it is the same problem, if the player is not helped, he will hardly be able to generate good results, if the technical director does not focus that the team has to play for Aubameyang they will not achieve anything, and I know this because I learned it not only from Pep Guardiola when he managed Barcelona, the wonders he did with Messi, now with Mounihno they also did the same thing, I think technical directors can focus on the same thing.

Redknapp, Hasselbaink argue over Aubameyang as Carragher hails ‘exciting’ Chelsea, Arsenal target

Aubameyang has scored three goals in 14 appearances in all competitions for Chelsea this season with the Blues currently eighth in the table and 18 points off leaders Arsenal.

After watching Aubameyang play the final 17 minutes in a 1-1 draw against Nottingham Forest, Redknapp doesn’t think the Gabon international is “the answer” to the Blues’ goalscoring issues, he told Sky Sports: “He wasn’t the answer at Arsenal so he’s not going to be the answer now at Chelsea.

“He’s getting older now. He’s not the player that he was. They’re trying to get [Christopher] Nkunku, that’s the player they’re after, whether they are going to get him I’m not sure.”

But Hasselbaink doesn’t think Aubameyang is to blame for Chelsea’s goalscoring woes, he argued back: “It’s not only the strikers who can score goals, it’s also midfielders that score goals and provide goals, and defenders even.

“How many goals have the midfielders got? It’s not only the strikers. Somebody needs to go beyond [the opposition defence], somebody needs to make runs without the ball.

I think Graham Potter needs more time to get the needed results. It is true that Chelsea have spent so much money to get the right players but quality players is not equal to improved performance. The team management should be patient with him because he has the ability to excel. An example is the case of Mikel Arteta of Arsenal that failed to deliver a splendid performance in his first and second season. But the management of the team believed in him and gave him more time and all the support he needs. Today, the club management is not regretting their decision to keep Arteta.

I am surprised that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is not really productive in Chelsea because I expected much from him because of his history and quality. It's unfortunate that his performance has really depreciate maybe because of his age or other factors. I don't think he lacks the support in the team because he ends up squandering most goalscoring he has. He should be given the opportunity to prove himself and if he fails the US or Asia might be good for his class.

I'm starting to be fed up with the changing rumours about Frenkie de Jong continually.

This time it is said like he has changed his mind again and he wants to join Manchester United.    I really don't understand these news sources. While there is no reason for it why would de Jong decide to leave the team suddenly? He is still a regular member of the midfield in the starting eleven I mean. Xavi also likes to see him playing for them. In addition, he is like the biggest earner in the team at the moment. All these things must be good enough for proving that he is happy there.

I doubt if Manchester United is in need of a midfielder for now. Erik ten Hag doesn't buy players whose roles are nor needed in the club no matter how good they are.
Manchester United should rather focus on strikers because Martial's form is not to be trusted because he is too injury prone. That is why Manchester United needs a strong and reliable striker

For €60 million what ? This is a laughable honestly, in a complete season how many league goals can he contribute to Manchester United
? Or Should I say how many has he currently scored for his current club ? Manchester United as said by the head Coach Erik Ten Hag has said all he needs is not just a player, a fighter and the right player that Central Attacking role. I'll consider it as speculations.
Antonio Martial would out score this lad season after season, ain't no way it's working.

And also the case of Felix of Athletico Madrid seem to amaze me, it's a stupid approach, why not call back Amad Diallo ? Sancho I know still having personal treatment, these are players that can get the job done.

Don't know if I'm the only one boggled at Arsenal bidding for Felix when they haven't gotten the player from Ukrainian League. Cracks my ribs and I find it funny. LOL
