⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[BlackRexuz]

Surprised, Al-Nassr sign deal with CR7 for 7 years as their Ambassador, and deal as their players. As we know, he is linked with Al-Nassr last few week, we are thinking he wouldn't accept this offer, since he wants UCL trophy again. But, in the end, Ronaldo move from europe, since no club able to sign him, the contract till 2030 as ambassador and he have a special task from Al-Nassr to help Saudi Arabia to host World Cup 2030.

It's a pity that Cristiano Ronaldo's ultimate fate, he had to be willing to go to a Middle Eastern club when he was old. But if the news is true, it's actually quite good, considering that he has struggled to play at a European level club and his desire to play in the Champions League seems to have disappeared. I hope CR7 can continue to motivate the young players at the Al-Nassr club so that his enthusiasm will spread to the various young people there.

That's right, what I said a few days ago, there will be news about this one mega star to the Middle East club, even these rumors are not mere figments, I'm sure that Criestiano Ronaldo will end his career there, I also hope for young players there  can appreciate it as it deserves..

Mbappe is at the peak of his career, he is still very young, his performances on the field are also extraordinary. Real Madrid is perfect for Mbappe who wants to fulfill his dream of becoming the world's best player, the failure to bring France to win the world cup makes his chances of winning the Ballon d'Or even smaller because it will be difficult for him to compete with Messi.
He has to make a decision, right now Real Madrid are very serious about bringing him to the Bernabeu. Mbappe should not waste this opportunity to win individual titles that can make his name even more equated with Ronaldo and Messi.

It's understandable that you believe Real Madrid would be a good fit for Mbappe and that he should consider joining the club in order to further his individual ambitions!!!However, ultimately it's up to Mbappe to decide what's best for him and his career. He may have other factors to consider, such as his current team and the potential for success there, his personal preferences and priorities, and the offers and opportunities available to him. It's also worth noting that individual titles are not the only measure of success or accomplishment in soccer, and that Mbappe may have other goals or aspirations beyond winning the Ballon d'Or. Ultimately, it's important for him to make a decision that aligns with his own values and goals, rather than solely focusing on winning individual accolades!!

I think if he comes to Arsenal he will only be on the bench, whereas going to Man united or spurs it could be a good option for the midfield of the team. What do you think?

If Adrian Rabiot goes to Arsenal, he may get to play, may be not in the starting eleven at a go, but he will have enough playing time because the players will be rotated to play. Arsenal do not have enough quality players in the substitution list, I think maybe that's why the starting eleven keeps remaining the same. If Rabiot joins in, it will trigger competition among the players who lay in that position for Arsenal and that will be a good thing. Also to have options in midfield when injuries begin to plague Arsenal, Rabiot can be a good choice. It will also be good if he considers joining Spurs.

[BigBos]

As reported by Transfermarkt, there are several rumors regarding the future of Adrien Rabbiot in the next season and several clubs from the EPL seem to be interested in signing him. There's Manchester United, Arsenal and Spurs? I think if he comes to Arsenal he will only be on the bench, whereas going to Man united or spurs it could be a good option for the midfield of the team. What do you think?

Adrien Rabiot should go to Manchester United to be able to play longer on the pitch and to improve his skills compared to going to Arsenal and sitting on the bench, Adrien Rabiot is more experienced, he has played with Paris Saint-German and Juventus which are one of the best teams in the world. respective league.
This of course will have a good impact on Manchester United, where reconstructing the game strategy for the future, of course, bringing in Adrien Rabiot is something that must be taken by Manchester United. However, it is not certain that the competition to bring in Rabiot will definitely be quite difficult, as well as Rabiot himself who is still considering a better next career path.

Al Nassr have Cristiano Ronaldo on their rader and they're aiming to pull up a big move for the Portugal international. Al Nassr targets €200m/yearly. Ronaldo have not made any decision on the club he wants to play for, but his agent hoping to get an european club but with the look of things, he have many things going through his mind but sooner or later, he will make his decision on the club he want.As things stands now,he is no longer in good terms with Manchester United and wants to leave the club despite the fact that the club is his boyhood club.He may find it ok to secure a move elsewhere.

Reporting of this rumor is still continuing even though in several previous statements Ronaldo said he had not yet taken a stand but it seems that Alnassr's excitement is now continuing. Big offers from them are still being made for this one mega star.
But on the other hand, I think it will be a little difficult for Ronaldo if he does go there because of course his fame has changed a little, especially if his disappearance from Europe will obviously make less news for Ronaldo later.

Rabiot's contract extension dilemma has hit a dead end so far.

The mother of Rabiot as well as his agent wants Juventus to pay 10 million euros per year for his contract extension. But on the other hand, Juventus actually want to renew Rabiot's contract with the option of reducing his salary.

Meanwhile, Allegri wants Rabiot to be maintained, but instead Juventus are still reluctant to agree to the wishes of Rabiot's mother who asks for 10 million per year.

There are such rumours these days. Aston Villa are looking for being very active in this transfer window. Abraham and Felix are already in their target list. Only their market values are already getting near 100 million euros. Roma and Atletico Madrid both wouldn't demand an amount less than their market values I assume.

Both of these players haven't been very productive until this moment in this season. But they are quality players for sure. Abraham is already familiar with the EPL so he wouldn't have any problem with adaptation. I don't know about Felix. He might not want to join an average team instead of a bigger one. He is still a talented youngster who deserves to play in the Champions League.

Maybe if you see the difference in these players, it is true that Abraham is more worthy of playing in the English league, he has to increase his flying hours at other clubs. But if Joao Felix goes to Aston Villa it will be a downturn in his career in football, moreover he played very well in the world cup with Portugal. Indeed, it must be admitted that at Atletico Madrid he played less effectively, maybe he was not suitable for how to train Diego Simeone, so it was only natural that later he would leave to seek new challenges at a new club, but seeing that Joao Felix is a talented player he should have joined a club that has big name too.

About Joao Felix actually this player want to play at big clubs if left Atletico but my question is who are the big clubs who willing to buy him and last time he was linked to Manchester United but apparently it just remains rumour and in the terms of scoring goals Joao Felix was never been scoring more than 10 goals in one season during joined Atletico so this also caused why Simeone always put him into the bench and he lose to compete with other players such as Griezmann for forward lines and if he want to gets more minutes to play i think moved to small clubs is good option because on that club he might be will playing regularly

The truth would be a total loss if Joao Félix went to Manchester United, with a technical director like Han Teg it is not something that would be a very good idea, so these things can be seen as bad for someone his age, I think it should be expected and choose a new club, it is very young, it should be worth more, it is also doing very well, it can draw the attention of Real Madrid, of a PSG of teams that will really make it grow as they deserve it, but how is the Mnachester United pro now at least I don't see it as the best idea or as the ideal answer to do it, I think this player has many qualities as apra ise there and possibly he will burn out.

The speculation of Ronaldo moving to the Al-Nasr club makes me confusion because the club makes offers for 7 years contract which I thing like Impossible when we look the Ronaldo's age is 37 years old now. So when 7 years from now, Ronaldo will retire from football at 44 years old. So, is that not age not very vulnerable for a football player?, he is an attacker, where there will be a lot of movement to the opponent's area to get a ball. It will different when Ronaldo as goal keeper like Buffon, where just be quiet around the goalpost.

I hope Ronaldo just retired now, and He just doesn't move to any club as a player. He has a lot of money, If I were him, I will buy a football club like Beckham and be the boss or CEO.

The contract is indeed for seven years but it has two parts. The first section is that Ronaldo would work in Al Nasr as a player for two years. The other sector stipulates that Ronaldo would become an ambassador of the club for five years after his football career.
This contract is irresistible because of the money involved and considering the drop in the performance of one of the finest footballers of all time. The contract also includes a periodic upward increase of his €200m-per-year wages.

Maybe after the end of this contract, Ronaldo would be buoyant enough to buy football clubs in Europe or America. But sometimes I wonder how these high-paying clubs in Asia and America recover the money they splash on these superstar footballs.

I think there are many people who think like me, and that is that age is just a number, I have seen how CR7 has brilliant moments, yes, he has been playing a little badly, but I am sure it is due to his emotional side, no It's easy for a child to die and you continue your life as if you didn't care, everything affects, some get over it quickly and others don't, it can also affect their daily life and work, the fact that CR7 is 37 years old is not that he is finished, sometimes the press and newscasts are very tabloid, it is what I do not like about some news, however if CR7 goes there, he will fill up with money, but he will lose shape, it is not the same level of playing there as in Europe.

However:

Cristiano Ronaldo's right-hand man 'touches down in Saudi Arabia' as transfer edges closer

Cristiano Ronaldo is edging closer to a lucrative transfer to Saudi Arabia after his 'right-hand man' touched down in the Middle East. The former Manchester United striker is reportedly on the verge of a £175million-per-year deal at Al Nassr, which he could sign before the end of 2022.

and:

Talk emerging from France that Lionel Messi will extend his PSG deal to 2024 may have made Ronaldo hesitant to give up on a potential switch to a Champions League club.

The name Cristiano Ronaldo has greatly influenced the popularity of football in these 15 years with the luck of Al-Nassr being able to get him of course it will boost the morale of the team and also Al-Nassr supporters, but I don't think CR7 fans around the world seem to be able to accept his decision to play for the club the middle East. And the possibility that people will switch to watching CR7 there is also small, considering that they have a league competition that is not very well known in the world.

Real Madrid is perfect for Mbappe who wants to fulfill his dream of becoming the world's best player, the failure to bring France to win the world cup makes his chances of winning the Ballon d'Or even smaller because it will be difficult for him to compete with Messi.
He has to make a decision, right now Real Madrid are very serious about bringing him to the Bernabeu. Mbappe should not waste this opportunity to win individual titles that can make his name even more equated with Ronaldo and Messi.

It's a tough decision to make in my opinion
Continue to be a king in PSG and maybe never get a Champions League / Fifa Club World Cup, or try to start at Real Madrid and play in a higher level championship, with great possibilities to reach both championships + La Liga but without privilege and worship of PSG?

I think Real Madrid is the perfect club to Mbappé reaches his full potential in career, I don't see any other team that fits better than Real.
Barcelona is a second choice.

I don't think England, Italian or Germany are the best place for him, even with Manchester City having such a strong team.

Mbappe is currently still going to stay with PSG even though he is always compared to other teams, doesn't PSG also have the same potential to win the Champions League while his team is currently with Messi and that can be achieved if they are really solid?

His career is still long, of course if he stays for a few seasons at PSG it doesn't matter after that he can move as he wants but there is no perfect club even though Real Madrid is the king of the UCL, for me for Mbappe the potential at PSG is also the same if this season wins the UCL then it will be possible he can be the best player again.

Kylian Mbappe has a great understanding with the PSG team. If he stays at this club, hopefully Kylian Mbappe can move to a better place in a few more seasons. But if Kylian Mbappe wants to take Real Madrid, I think his career will improve and reach higher places if he joins there.

Ronaldo has joined Al Nassr Club. I think it went pretty well for him. He will not be disgraced there like Manchester United. He will be given the opportunity to play in every match of the team and the focus of the team will be only on him, due to which Ronaldo's career is expected to be successful.

There's Manchester United, Arsenal and Spurs? I think if he comes to Arsenal he will only be on the bench, whereas going to Man united or spurs it could be a good option for the midfield of the team. What do you think?

I don't know how true the rumor is, but Andrien Rabiot wouldn't be a bad option for any of the clubs mentioned above, and whilst talking about playing time, a lot has to do with the player himself, if he comes into the team and proves himself to be indispensable, then there is no way the manager can leave him on the bench, because it is only logical to start your best players, those that can lead to you victory more often than not.

Having said that, amongst the three teams i think Spurs are the least when it comes to competition for the midfield position, thus they might be the team he could prolly get ample playing time in, Manchester United have Casemiro, Bruno Fernandez and Eriksen, Arsenal have Partey, Xhaka and Odegaard, i think in Spurs they have just Hojbjerg, Bentancur and a few others, but i think they are the team that Rabiot might find more easier to break into the starting eleven.

Rabiot contract will be expired on June 2023 and because Juventus have no plan to extended his contract so there is no choice for Juventus to sell him this January and actually Rabiot almost moved to Manchester United last summer but because there no agreement between him and Manchester United for the salary so he decide to stayed and Juventus changed their mind currently that they will allowed Rabiot left but it's hard to gets him because after performing well on world cup some clubs besides you mentioned above such as Chelsea and Liverpool also interested to him and reported after winter transfer window opened those teams will officially make bids

As reported by transfermarkt, the only club that comes closest is Spurs. As for Arsenal and Chelsea, I'm not sure about that. after all, based on Transfermarkt there is nothing to suggest that the Gunners and The Red Devils are really interested in bringing in Rabiot in January. for Arsenal, Adrien Rabiot will not suit the style of play of The Gunners' youth squad. after all, Arsenal are currently more focused on bringing in Mundrry from Shakhtar Donetsk and several players who have a position as a center forward.

For Chelsea, I'm also not sure Potter is interested in this Juventus player. especially for Manchester United, Rabiot is not a player that fits the coaching style of Erik Ten Hag. the closest possibility is Spurs, and even then if Conte is really interested in him especially with a low transfer fee.

He will most likely leave in the near future if he doesn't get what he wants. I think the best way for him is to leave Juventus, because he also has the right to have what he wants. Because hearing that Juventus want a smaller salary than before is something that I think is hard for a player. No matter how royal the players are, they also get their rights. I think Manchester United are more suitable for Rabbiot now.

He will be given the opportunity to play in every match of the team and the focus of the team will be only on him, due to which Ronaldo's career is expected to be successful.

Has Ronaldo officially joined Al Nassr?
Because as far as I know Ronaldo had previously confirmed that he only wanted to join a club that plays in the champions league, but if in the end Ronaldo wants to join Al Nassr of course this indicates that it seems that there are no big clubs that are interested in Ronaldo anymore at this time, but in on the other hand I think maybe the big salary factor is the reason Ronaldo wants to join Al Nassr and maybe he wants to enjoy end of his career before he really retires from football.

Reported from [voi.id] Adrien Rabiot will not extending his contract with Juventus where expiry at June 2023 and he will be free agent player. Juventus face dilemma with Adrien Rabiot have impressive performance in World Cup and consistency get regular position from 15 matches in Serie A, actually not good business if Juventus can't reach agreement extended contract with Adrien Rabiot, better sell him for other team have interested to sign him.

Not only with Manchester United, Spur and Arsenal are interested with Adrien Rabiot, but also PSG have in race line for signing Rabiot and actually have lower fees transfer depending his contract with Juventus left few months later.

I am also still questioning this because until now I have not found truly concrete media about Cristiano Ronaldo officially joining Al-Nassr. Indeed, there are lots of photos scattered on my social media, but it is still uncertain whether it is really official or still in the news stage.
I also still think that maybe we will still see Ronaldo playing for a team in Europe. And I also don't think that the only reason for Cristiano Ronaldo to join Al Nassr is only because of the money he will receive there.

The club is waiting for a decision from Ronaldo before the end of the year, but I don't think Ronaldo will be playing there. Ronaldo still wants to play in Europe as it seems, even if the offer is insane then I think he will stay in Europe. Ronaldo still hopes to be able and successful in bringing his team to compete in the Champions League, and that will only be achieved by playing in Europe. But I never know the final decision, and many people will be waiting for him to make one in the near future.

Regarding Messi, PSG have reached a verbal agreement with him. At least Messi still wants to stay in Paris for the next season, but that's just a verbal agreement where meetings will also resume in the near future. That will be very interesting considering that so far Barcelona has still opened the door to re-admit Messi.

[judas]

Enzo Fernandez is also among the players who are targeted by big teams these days. I have seen a claim like an unnamed team has made an offer worth 100 million euros to sign him. However Benfica are not willing to sell him for less than his release clause which is 120 million euros. I wonder what team it is to offer this much money to sign him. Teams like Real Madrid and Liverpool are also interested in signing him and it looks like these two have a new rival in the race to sign Fernandez from now on.

I wonder if it could be one of the Bayern Munich, Manchester City and PSG trio. I don't think some other team would be okay to spend that much money for him. It should be one of the rich teams in Europe. We might add Newcastle to this list as well.    Because after having a great run so far, they'd like to go for bigger transfers.

There may be Champions League teams that are willing to take Ronaldo, but there is no guarantee that he will start. The fact that Ronaldo was benched by the last games of Portugal during the World Cup strengthened the argument that he may not as competitive as he was before. Ronaldo would rather play in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia with an overwhelming contract than sit on a bench. In addition, Ronaldo's pay may ensure that he becomes the most valuable athlete the following year. That is still a significant accomplishment considering that in the past, Messi and the salaries of other sports stars have always surpassed his.
