⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[arimamib]

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

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.

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.

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

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

manchester united are reportedly preparing a €60 million offer to sign eintracht frankfurt and french striker Randal Kolo Muani in january.

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

It seems that Dejan Lovren has a good club like Lyon who wants to get him this season, while Joao Felix may still be confused by the rumors and his decision to join one of these clubs. But when talking about Sergio Ramos it looks like it will be a good reunion with Cristinao Ronaldo at Al-Nassr, of course it can make the two players nostalgic like when they were in Real Madrid's uniform, but we don't know for sure whether these rumors will come true or not, considering that Sergio Ramos is still comfortable with PSG.

Ronaldo had no choice but to transfer to Al-Nasrr club; Al-Nasrr made the right transfer attempt at the right time and added Ronaldo to their football team. I never underestimate them. They made a really important transfer. However, I think that other transfer news about them are news made to fill the agenda. In other words, every club pays attention to some things while planning their football team; the average age of the team, the salary balance between the players...

What Manchester united needs now is a striker, this is the most important . Ten Hag is not really interested in buying players that won't be of any use. The players ten Hag has been bringing in has helped the club performance to improve. He is a good coach that understands what he wants.

[Velvet78]

Al-Nassr seem like they are interested in everyone now. The money is like limitless really. 

First they have signed Ronaldo and now Modric is another target. They are trying to do the same thing China teams did with star players who were getting old. They can convince Modric as well actually because he is already getting close to his retirement. He would be replaced with youngsters in Real Madrid squad soon. He is still a qualified player of course but I don't know how long they continue to keep a good level from now on.

Aubameyang has only scored 1 goal since he arrived at Chelsea last year, so I can say that Aubameyang is included in Chelsea's failed purchase. hopefully with the arrival of nkunku to chelsea, it can increase chelsea's attack power and chelsea can again compete tightly for the top 5 positions and get a champions league ticket.
