Frank Kessie returns to Atalanta after having been first at Milan and then at Al Alhi
All those who had gone in search of large profits are slowly returning to base. Is the era of Saudi Arabia already over? It seems to me like I'm seeing China again a few years ago.

A lot of players who signed for Saudi clubs will soon start returning back to Europe because football is enjoyable when a player gets visibility. Money is not everything a player should go for, because there is more a player can achieve in his football career than centering their interests on making huge amount of money signing for Saudi clubs. I have a feeling that the Saudi league has achieved the awareness they wanted, very soon they might not even be offering mouthwatering transfer deals. Frank Kessie is the Ivorian captain, if he continues to play in the Saudi league he might just end up as a low profile player so it is better that he has now returned to the Serie A club Atalanta.

Worst transfer of the season.

Galatasaray reach agreement in principle to sign Rafael Leão.

Leão accepted Galatasaray better personal terms proposal today, after Aston Villa couldn't come up with a better terms proposal for the Portuguese winger.

AC Milan to receive package in excess of €45m with add-ons and sell-on clause also included.

The worst transfer? What’s so bad about it. In fact, Milan was lucky to be able to sell Rafael Leão, especially for €45 million. Rafael Leão’s performance has declined, and he has frequently caused trouble, he has even shown a lack of discipline on more than a few occasions during his last two seasons at Milan. So, it was only right for Milan to sell Rafael Leão to Galatasaray because, aside from Galatasaray, other clubs weren’t particularly interested in him due to his poor attitude.

Gabriel Jesus is no longer injured. He is fit and would start for any club he joins.

This week's list of players in training was released. Gabriel Jesus was not in training. Martinelli and Nwaneri were in training. The confusion here is that Gabriel Jesus and Martinelli have to leave for an incoming attacker. Arsenal wants to break the bank for a big name. It could be that Alvarez is going to happen before the window ends.

It should obviously be Julian Alvarez. Arsenal already expressed their desire to see him join them,but he still has Barcelona on his mind. These are the last few days of the transfer window and he is yet to have a change of mind, he will have no other plan than to do so, play for Arsenal a season or two and then look and hope they'll make up a swap deal between Arsenal and Barcelona.

The youngin Nwanyeri should stay, I can not say the same for Gabriel Martinelli, he is not a worthy and effective winger anymore. Arsenal obviously needs more creativity up front and all he offers is less. Gabriel Jesus should move first, we will be hoping he makes it to the Serie A and Napoli.

I guess that many players realized that basically the average level is quite low and there is no professional growth. Sure, you make a ton of money, that is for sure. But the question is: how long can a European or South American adjust to the Saudi lifestyle? Of course there are exceptions like Ronaldo and Benzema because when you get paid 200 million euros per year, you'd play in Papua New Guinea too, but for all the others is a different story.

What's wrong is leaving Italy for Turkey. Rafael Leão killed his career. By now, he should be playing in the English league, the German league, or in Spain. He chose to stay one season at Milan, which ruined his career.

Milan won the transfer. Rafael Leão is a troublesome player. I'm sure Milan is happy Rafael Leao has gone to Galatasaray. From there, he has hope of winning the Turkish league with Galatasaray.

Huh that's sucks.....
Literally this will be the awful deal for the year.....

Rafa Leao was one of the most extraordinary natural winger of the modern generation but still he couldn't find any big team to dilute his capacity. Even AC Milan was also best place for him but unfortunately he pick those league where he will never be able to make his career profile.

Here in Europe we have high profile football and here a recognize potential players can definitely be a prominent like if a players have a good capacity then European team is best to made dominant career. However so far so good like Rafa Leao know better than us but still in my opinion he chose the wrong destiny.

It seems any european players who went to Saudi only last for a few seasons, and they choose to comeback to the european competition instead of finishing their contract in Saudi. So far it's good to see him back after he went to saudi, but i'm wondering how much his wages.
I've heard he rejected Juventus offer before he agreed to join Atalanta. So it sounds Atalanta offered him lucrative salary, isn't it?

However, he's 29 years old. So there are only several years remaining until he will enter to the end of his career. But i appreciate giuntoli for pairing him with Ederon. Both of players are gonna be the most  hefty midfielders in serie a. I can't wait to see his first game.

Regarding Alvarez, it’s public knowledge that he wants to join Barcelona but obviously the Atleti president has made it clear that won’t happen.

I wonder if his preference is to join Arsenal or stay with Atleti if they are the choices he has.

Since Julian Alvarez is unhappy at Atletico Madrid and wants to join Barcelona which won't be possible since Atletico Madrid president made it clear a deal for Julian Alvarez to join Barcelona won't happen, if Julian Alvarez insist on only joining Barcelona he will remain at Atletico Madrid. So if Arsenal are interested in bringing him to Emirates Stadium he should accept Arsenal because that's the only way Atletico Madrid will allow him leave.

The Saudi Pro League was all about hype; many players wanted joining the league in the past seasons due to how they pay money, but it seems like they now have the attention they need, and players don't usually get what they want since they have already gotten the recognition to sign any player they want now, unlike when they were looking for players from Europe and only old players do join them.

I don't know why these average players like going there; they have now started to realize that it is not about money alone. They still have a future since they don't usually get what they wanted in the Saudi Pro League again, as they usually come back after one or two seasons.

Probably yesterday I saw on social media that Alvarez is thinking about going to Arsenal. The deal will be completed if Arsenal takes responsibility for Alvarez's entire family. Arsenal has said about his wife and children, but Alvarez demands that the club take responsibility for his entire family. Now Alvarez is waiting for this.

I can't find the link to that news and I also doubt the authenticity of this news. I just want to know if anyone has read such news? Or what is the percentage of the probability that this news is true?

Madrid has signed a 21-year-old Ghanaian center back. For the time being, he is joining the Castilla squad as a long-term investment. It remains to be seen whether he will eventually break into the first team or be sold. There is not much information available about this player, Oscar Naasei also received offers from German clubs but decided to join Madrid, aiming to eventually make it to the first team.

Wait, why was he told to join the Castilla squad, when at 21 years old, he should already be on the first team, whether as a starter or a substitute. Mourinho should have placed Oscar Naasei on the first team while occasionally giving him playing time to gain experience. But regardless of whatever decision Real Madrid makes, I hope Oscar Naasei doesn’t disappoint, since I didn’t know anything about this player beforehand either.

So, it was only right for Milan to sell Rafael Leão to Galatasaray because, aside from Galatasaray, other clubs weren’t particularly interested in him due to his poor attitude.

This is a good transfer, the player's performance went on a massive decline, and he wasn't getting quality time at AC Milan. Galatasaray bidding €45m for the player is a fair price, and a big move for the player. He will also be playing for a club that qualified for the Champions League, although none of them will win the Champions League, which really isn't a bad transfer after all.

I'm also happy that more and more players are finding their way back to Europe but I have to say one thing: if I were in their position, I would have moved to the Saudi league too. What you earn in Europe over the entire 3 to 4 year term of your contract with a club, you get paid there in just one year. I'd work there for 2-3 years and then I'd be set for life, so to speak.

All of these players follow the money that is why we honestly see a whole lot of footballers leaving for leagues paying high and outrageous prices. I have always known that his move to the Saudi Arabia was never about passion or dedication to the fans. He was recently linked with a move to Juventus. I'm hoping to see how it ends up eventually.  The Saudi Arabian Premier League is not over, I will not put it that way.

Follow the money is not a new invention.

But in terms of team building, it has meaning. You can sell a person only once, the cash may feel good, but like in real life, the wrong decision can get you wrecked.

Outrageous prices? It goes both ways. If you feel a player is exactly what you need, you pay a premium. If you can't see any value, you let go.

Kessie, to get back to specifics, I think he is outdated.

Wait, why was he told to join the Castilla squad, when at 21 years old, he should already be on the first team, whether as a starter or a substitute. Mourinho should have placed Oscar Naasei on the first team while occasionally giving him playing time to gain experience.

It's not by age. There is no age limit for being in the second team. There are players who are 21-23 and are still in the second team. If the player feels he is too old and has no place in the first team, then he would request to leave, and he will be sold.
Being in the Castilla team is better for his development. He would be called to the first team when there is an injury or a missing player, or maybe in games like the Copa del Rey. If he convinces the coaches, he would be promoted and registered in the first team.

Since Julian Alvarez is unhappy at Atletico Madrid and wants to join Barcelona which won't be possible since Atletico Madrid president made it clear a deal for Julian Alvarez to join Barcelona won't happen, if Julian Alvarez insist on only joining Barcelona he will remain at Atletico Madrid. So if Arsenal are interested in bringing him to Emirates Stadium he should accept Arsenal because that's the only way Atletico Madrid will allow him leave.

His dream is not to leave Atleti, his dream is to play for Barcelona. Going to Arsenal will make his dream of playing for Barcelona even more difficult. Arsenal will not sign him for €120 million and sell him for less than that in one or two seasons, and not only will Barcelona not want to spend more than that on him, but they won't wait for him for 2 years. They will look for another striker.
What I can say is that if he really wants to play for Barcelona, he should remain in Atleti from now till January. If the deal doesn't work in the January transfer window, he has to wait till the end of the season.
If he keeps pushing for a move all through the season, they would be forced to sell him to Barcelona.

Worst transfer of the season.

The worst transfer? What’s so bad about it.

What's wrong is leaving Italy for Turkey. Rafael Leão killed his career. By now, he should be playing in the English league, the German league, or in Spain. He chose to stay one season at Milan, which ruined his career.

Still doesn't spell anything about it being the worst transfer.

IMO, there's nothing wrong with the transfer, and in fact, Galatasaray got him relatively cheaply. He's worth more, but Amorim doesn't have plans for him, so they simply decided to make the move happen before the transfer window closed.

Also, he didn't ruin anything. Things could have even turned out worse if he had gone to those other clubs, especially considering he suffered multiple injuries last season. That's one of the reasons his value dropped.

And if you're saying he made the wrong decision by moving to the Turkish league, then you're also saying Osimhen made the wrong decision by moving from Serie A(Napoli)  to the Turkish league.

Well this trend of players actually taking the deal of money than the playing passion of football is quite normal now so am never surprised to see even young players filled with lot's of potential wanting to go to the Saudi Arabia team despite the fact that they still have lots of playing time.

As for the end of the Saudi Arabia league, I don't think anything of such will happen at least not for now, maybe in the nearer future if they don't start trying out new techniques to make the league interesting.

Alvarez linking to Arsenal has always be going on, rumours has it that athletic Madrid want a swap from Viktor gokeres in place of Alvarez ever since that Arsenal have be monitoring Alvarez for so long, but I haven't heard about such thing that you just said about taking care of Alvarez family before he can join arsenal I think Alvarez has already made his mind that he wants to leave atlectico Madrid and he has two club that is after him which is Barcelona and Arsenal but arsenal deal is pushing higher every day than Barcelona if Arsenal where to sign this man I think arsenal we be great once again in this season.
