January will be here soon and that doesn't mean the Saudi league teams can be patient. It is reported that Al-Ettifaq and Al-Ahli will compete with each other to get the signature of Arsenal player Thomas Partey. There has been no further confirmation regarding the offer that will be made and it is certain that the amount is quite large considering that he is also a good European player. Now it seems that the rumors that have been circulating for quite some time about Thomas Partey's future are true and Arsenal will certainly benefit greatly from this transfer with a big fee in the deal.

This rumor has spread widely on social media, whether it's true or not, it seems like Mikel Arteta doesn't really need Thomas Partey anymore and if I'm not mistaken, Thomas Partey doesn't have the opportunity to play for Arsenal this season so selling to Saudi Arabia is not a problem because Arsenal already strong enough without him and this is also an opportunity for Mikel Arteta to use the proceeds from the sale of Thomas Partey to recruit new players so he can strengthen the depth of the Arsenal squad and I am sure the two clubs from Saudi Arabia are willing to pay quite a large amount to recruit this player.
Thomas Partey can continue the rest of his career in football to play in Saudi Arabia, at least playing there provides enough playing time so that Thomas Partey's talent is not wasted.

The Saudi Pro League has brought in a lot of really good players and the future of the league also looks to be good. And certainly a lot better when compared to the MLS. I do not see any intention for any player to actually play in the MLS. I also can certainly say that it is not a dream for any player to be playing in the MLS. And let's be honest, the only reason Lionel Messi was so interested in going through the MLS was because he was getting paid really well by the club. I mean having shares in Apple is just something incredible. Especially when we all know that most of the people in the US use Apple products. Players are not going to get as much money as him.

The salaries received by European players who are brought to MLS are not large. but they offer something else that could attract European players to play in MLS. it's like you said. that also happened to Beckham at the end of his career as a professional player. and now Messi is doing it.

However, SPL clubs have the financial strength to pay Europe's top players. they made an incredible offer, and it surprised no one. more than that, currently the SPL may be an extraordinary business in the world football industry. just waiting for the time, when SPL will grow like EPL or Serie A.

When team has interest in great player but can't pay very large amount then there must be another deal offered to get the player to want to play with them and have contract for several seasons.
But this is the first time I have seen big offer for European player using one of the very popular big stock names in the offer agreement given to the player.
But looking at what Inter Miami gave Messi, isn't that big loss because Messi didn't perform very well there and was the subject of discussion when Inter Miami failed in MLS.

Well, I actually amazed by the team from the SPL which is able to pay very large salaries and can really develop rapidly after so many European players have moved there.
Every player transfer is always done very well and they even provide what each player needs so it is very natural that more and more European players are interested in joining an SPL team.

Once again there is a new about Modric and the Saudi teams.

I doubt he will leave during the winter season.
Real Madrid has a lot of problems with long injuries now, he will probably stay until june.

Luca Modric is a loyal Madrid player, so it is not surprising that he can always decide to stay at this club whenever he wants. The problems faced by Madrid mean that Modric must continue to guide the remaining young players so they can continue playing on the field. The existence of Modric and Kross is the remaining icon that Madrid currently has. The Saudi Arabian club cannot take him in any way, and if they still insist on recruiting Modric, please be patient a little longer. Modric is not the type of player who leaves a club when conditions are down.

It could be true that Arsenal is considering pursuing Joao Neves recently. With Thomas Partey frequently injured and his contributions to Arsenal diminishing over time, Partey might no longer be in Arteta's lineup plans. Arteta seems to have factored in the absence of Partey in Arsenal's future plans and is exploring alternative options, with Joao Neves being one of them.

Additionally, Declan Rice has solidified his role and importance at Arsenal in recent times, giving Arteta complete confidence. The money from selling Partey could help Arsenal search for other quality contracts, at least that's what I think.

Thomas Partey who was once the pillar of the Arsenal midfield currently looks like a player who's surplus to requirements at the Emirates stadium and that's why I believe that the numerous reports about a potential move to the Saudi League might be very true.
The news of his proposed departure I don't think will be surprising to the club's manager Mikel Arteta because he's definitely aware that a player like Partey will want to leave the club and go to where he'll get more playing time. A move to the Saudi League wouldn't be a bad idea for the Ghanaian considering how the financial packages that comes with offers from Saudi clubs

The Saudi Pro League has now ranked 2nd in the top 6 national leagues, with the highest total transfer costs for the summer of 2023. With a lot of money, the Saudi Pro League even had the ambition to bring in Kylian Mbappe, a player considered the best young talent in football today. Although he failed to convince Mbappe, they still try attracting famous young players to their tournament. The Saudi Pro League, from now on, will cause all kinds of real trouble. No one can sit still when clubs in Saudi Arabia still spend a lot of money on shopping, and you are helpless. The European Football Confederation and FIFA (world) need to act to protect European football. They must change transfer laws to be consistent and need financial fairness laws to apply to the Saudi Pro League.

Thomas Partey was once and not longer, it's in the past and I think he has no spot in the midfield where he would try to suits in because Mikel Arteta have already sign specified important midfielders that are promising. Thomas Partey complain of not having a regular playing time under Mikel Arteta regime, it actually hurts but he's the core cause of it, when he would have make good use of his energy and fights for his jersey in the starting XI that was when he sustained a longterm injury and was ruled out. Coming back, he couldn't developed to his peak and led to questions on his football career.

[tygeade]

Richarlison is a great player that Ange Postecoglou can rely on to give his best contribution even though the bad news that is currently haunting Tottenham but I think Ange Postecoglou will never let go before getting a new player who can replace his position and has equal talent and it is possible that the Arab club will have to be patient to get Richarlison.

But indeed until now especially after he was at Tottenham I still feel that he has declined a little in terms of performance.
Indeed, he is still one of the most influential players but he is still not optimal in terms of performance.

Currently with his injury, he will definitely make him rest for a long time which makes this could further disrupt his performance.
Even though indeed if from the beginning he was willing to be operated on quickly then I think the current condition could be avoided but when he initially refused then indeed his body condition was not optimal which actually hampered his own performance.

Injuries really have a big impact on his performance, plus Richarlison's performance has really declined so it affects his mentality and self-confidence. In terms of quality, Richarlison is quite capable, but there are several problems outside of that that threaten Richarlison's future.
At the start of this season, Richarlison was very down, he only scored 1 goal in the 10 matches he played and this required a lot of self-confidence for him to get up and also recover from his injury.

When teams or at least doctors of those teams tell you the return date for a player,  they tell you the physical return date, when they will be ready to physically go out and play, but they do not talk about the emotional state.

I have seen players who broke their leg so bad that their knee bent the otherway, like it takes years to recover that, literally bending of the knee to the opposite of what it should, and then they came back and still had a decent career, whereas I have seen players who tore their ACL, a terrible injury of course, but haven't seen them make a comeback at all, just become terrible. This could be the same for Richarlison, some players do recover physically like doctors say, but emotionally they may not be 100% just like before the injury.

Real Madrid has a lot of problems with long injuries now, he will probably stay until june.

Lucz Modric loves Real Madrid a lot but he knows he can't stay there forever. Real Madrid respect you as a player until you turn 35 then you risk being off each year once your performance drops. No names or trophies count on Real Madrid decision. That's why I assume Modric will not keep staying in the benches the whole season or play once there is injuries. Until now Saudi Arabia count on his presence and I assume Al-Ittihad has reached Benzema to talk with Modric about Saudi Arabia.

I remember such an offer came last year and Modric rejected it. He may want to end up playing football in Spain instead of playing in Arabia. He is a player who is wholeheartedly committed to the Real Madrid club. I'm almost sure he'll get high wages like Benzema, but I don't know if he wants that money.

I think now it's different because Modric no longer has a main place in the Real Madrid team so it's possible for him to accept the offer and play while waiting for his retirement.
Now that Luka Modrić is 38 years old, of course he can no longer regularly compete with the young players in the Real Madrid first team.

With a fantastic salary offer I think it is very possible for Luka Modrić to accept the offer, and even if he leaves it will not have any impact on Real Madrid's midfield, it is time for Luka Modrić to enjoy football in a non-competitive league before he decides on a possible retirement there are only a few seasons left.

For the winter it still won't happen because with the current situation, especially with the number of injured players for Madrid, it would be foolish for them to release some players just for money that they don't really need.
Instead, they should add some players to be used as replacement options in the midst of the current player crisis. But whatever it is, Modric will leave at the end of the season so instead of making things difficult at the halfway point of the season, it would be better for Madrid to keep Modric until the end of the season because that would be better than letting him  go in the winter.

Those clubs will be also competing with serie a club. Juventus has been also reporting have interest to recruit him from arsenal. This is a very difficult choice for partey since arsenal has been also targeting his replacement.
The new players targeted by arsenal has already expected to join in the club. Partey is good but he lacks of trust from arteta to be a starting line up. Arteta's performance look so good even when he was starting from the bench.

I don't know what's the real motive of arteta to sell him. I think that juventus has bigger probability to get him rather than saudi pro league club. It's very bad to think it is going to happen.
Saudi club may use its weapon to give arsenal lucrative offer for him. I hope partey will be going to the old lady instead of saudi pro league.
Juventus has charisma that didn't owned by saudi club.

 Well though Modric has an undying love for the club and would still love to continue playing for Realmadrid but he should understand that he's not as young as he used to be and most coaches in the European league would mostly prefer giving chances for youngsters to thrive, making him to be at the bench in most matches, 38 years is an age that's due to retirement and I doubt if he modric would be able to play full 90mins and compete with younger midfielders in other teams in terms or physical strength and agility.

 The best thing is for him to seize the opportunity of moving to the Saudi league where we'll be earning a more better salary and given enough match time compared to if he remains at Realmadrid and also the money he receives would really serve as a retirement fund when he finally leaves football.

Yeah. that's bad to hear that how modric was rejecting a very big offer from saudi club for him.

According to Sport, Modric will leave Real Madrid when his contract expires at the end of the season. Over the summer he reportedly rejected a contract offer from a Saudi club worth £120 million a season ($149.5m). At 38 years old, he is expected to retire in the Saudi Pro League.

This guy is the same like ronaldo. Modrid was as good as him. I hope that modric will not make another mistake again by rejecting it. Many speculators have expected him to retire in the saudi pro league. There are two SPL clubs are targeting him at this moment.
Modrid is still having a chance to go ther as long as he will not be stupid enough to did the same mistake. There is also speculation he will leave after his contract end but in my belief modric will able to leave from madrid anytime.
Welcome modric to the saudi pro league.  glad to see he was smart enough to do U turn for SPL.

His contribution to Real Madrid will be appreciated by fans and he is one of Real Madrid legends whose loyalty can surpass everything. As he is 38 years old and his physical condition seems to be declining and it is appropriate for him to look for an easier league to play in for the next 2 season.

I would be interested in seeing him play in the Saudi Arabian league with Ronaldo next season because he could be reunited with Ronaldo in one team. But we'll see what the decision is after this season ends, whether Modric will announce his retirement and join the board of the Real Madrid team or return to play with a new team in the coming season.

The current Arsenal squad is still playing well without Thomas Partey and therefore Arsenal no longer need his services despite his good performance last season. Now Mikel Arteta prefers to place young players in his squad and Thomas Partey is certainly not in his plans considering he is already 30 years old. On the other hand, in fact he can still continue his career in other top European leagues such as Serie A or La Liga even if an offer comes his way. But indeed, with the trend that has been building since the beginning of last year, the Saudi league is very difficult to resist, especially with the large number of European players coming, making this league even more popular in the future.

Sancho and Antony are two names that I think Man United should be ready to cut losses on these two deals.

It is already certain that Jadon Sancho is going to leave Manchester United in January, either on loan or in a permanent deal, after the fall out with manager Erik Ten Hag, there is definitely no way back for Sancho into the Manchester United team, he has been completely separated from the team and has even been removed from the players' Whatsapp group chat, his agent must be looking for a new club for him already.

That being said, i don't think United would be ready to sell Anthony now, he has greatly underperformed, but they bought him for quite a lot of money and no team would even be willing to pay half of that money for Anthony, they would give him more time or send him out on loan next summer, it all depends on how he performs from now until the end of the season.

The current issue between Manchester United boss Erik Ten Hag and their winger Jadon Sancho escalated to this point because of the fact the player's arrogance and that I think is an attribute that should be found among a young footballer of Sancho's age.
After the alleged altercation between the player and the manager happened, the manager demanded an apology from the young star as the only solution to whichever problem they were having and the only thing that can make him recall Sancho back to the club but unfortunately, he proved too stubborn to apologise. He's surely gonna leave during the January transfer window

Yes, and that money is going to probably bring in players who will perform better. But to be honest that is something we have been saying for a long time. The reality is whichever player they bring in, suddenly starts to perform pretty badly. So I don't know what will happen with Manchester United even if they sell these two and bring in new players. Right now the future of Manchester United is quite uncertain. And the players who are coming into the Manchester United squad are differently going to have a thought about that.

But we'll see what the decision is after this season ends, whether Modric will announce his retirement and join the board of the Real Madrid team or return to play with a new team in the coming season.

Indeed, senior Madrid players cannot avoid this. His contribution is already big enough in Madrid so there's no harm in him choosing his own path with promising profits in Saudi Arabia, but the competition in the Saudi Pro League is no less interesting. There are big European players who have now felt how competitive this League is. Like Benzema who decided early before his contract ended and Modric could have done the same thing. Modric departure will also be a challenge for Madrid's young players to be more independent and to be able to develop the club in their own way.

As he is 38 years old and his physical condition seems to be declining and it is appropriate for him to look for an easier league to play in for the next 2 season.

Do you think the game is easy in the Saudi Pro League? It doesn't seem like it's that easy, the competition there is no less fierce and for Modric himself he has to be able to prove his quality, old age doesn't mean the game in Saudi Arabia is easy to control.

Considering the current performance of Jadon Sancho and Anthony, I don't think they're gonna cost anything close to 80% of the amount Manchester United spent to sign them from their respective former clubs because since they joined the Old Trafford club, they've been a shadow of the players we all saw in Borussia Dortmund and Ajax.
It's been reported that they're gonna leave during the January transfer window but I don't expect Manchester United to make reasonable amount of money through their sales.

Luka is a legend at Real Madrid and his 12 years stay at the Spanish capital might finish when the season comes to an end. I think because of his age which is a declining factor Real Madrid might nit want to renew his contract.

 He should probably be the next big European star to grace the Saudi League if the right offer comes in for him but currently his aim and focus is to help Real get the La Liga title and have a good shot at the UCL because he has the experience on these competitions, It’ll be a sweet scene to watch when he reunites with either Karim Benzema or Ronaldo, as for joining the board I think that will be a thing of 1-2 years from now and not immediately because he’s still pretty cool with the ball and has a lot to offer.
