In my opinion, even if Jobe is recruited in the near future, it will only put him on the bench, otherwise he will first be loaned to another team. We know that Real Madrid really likes young talent, but if they feel their performance is still lacking then Real Madrid will give their players the freedom to seek experience elsewhere. I think it is too soon for Jude Bellingham's brother to join a big club like Real Madrid and I think Jobe Bellingham should first gain experience in a team that competes in the top division league.

Maybe one day we will see this sibling duo at Real Madrid and before that time comes Jobe should be able to set several records as a young player. This will make his name often highlighted by the media and also with the help of his older brother's name at Real Madrid, make him even more famous.

Chelsea actually don't need to sign another striker for now. I mean I also don't find Jackson's performance good at all. Broja is also not a good alternative. However they still have Nkunku in their sqaud. He has been injured for a long time which is really sad for Chelsea. However he is expected to return by November. 

Nkunku's performance will be a key factor for Chelsea to be more consistent about finding goals easily in their matches.

The only question mark is about if he would adapt to the team and league quickly. I hope his end won't be the same as Werner. 

I often thought that this son of Ronaldo has a great life to live. The only thing that often is an issue for these kids is that they can't step out of the shadows of their popular parents and in case of Ronaldo it is even more unlikely since he has one of the best footballers of all times. But with respect to Cristiano jrs. potential, who knows maybe he can also have a great career. He is athletic as hell for his age and needless to say he has a great advisor and partner for training around him around the clock. He learns the best methods for training, recovery, nutrition and his father is well connected. He will get the chance for trial training at any club he wants, which many young players don't have access to in the first place.

But it's very rare for a 16-year-old to make the professional squad, I'm not sure Ronaldo's son will make it that quickly.
He needs to be able to adapt for a longer period of time and the appropriate age might be 20 with a good build.

All I know is that Ronaldo's dream of playing until the 2026 World Cup means that by then Ronaldo will be 41 years old, already quite old although still excellent at the top level it seems that his career will end soon and playing with his son is still very small to happen.

At least now Ronaldo can still keep an eye on his son in the same team, with direct monitoring.

Apart from that, how does Chelsea work around this so that they are not subject to FFP sanctions. Remember, Chelsea has poured a lot of money into its investment. both when Chelsea was still managed by Potter, and also Pochettino. However, let's just say Todd can get around it. Well, the other question is, as you said. Is Osimhen willing to join the Chelsea squad next summer, considering that he said at that time there were only two clubs he wanted to play for? if not Manchester United, another option is Real Madrid.

If Chelsea insists, it will be a tough job for Chelsea management to persuade him to join Stamford Brigde. Moreover, Osimhen's transfer value is quite fantastic. However, if this player from Nigeria is willing to join Chelsea, I am sure he can adapt quickly and bring Chelsea back to being a top team competing in the top four of the Premier League standings. Why do I say that, yep, because the current problem Chelsea is facing is the problem of strikers who can consistently score goals. At a minimum, they have to look for players who can score at least 20 goals in a season. and the strikers that Chelsea currently have, especially the center forwards they have are not up to the level they should be. Like it or not, Todd or Poche have to bring him in if they want this team to be able to compete with other big teams.

It's lovely to see that his son wears the same iconic short Ronaldo wears and joins him in any team he goes to, I doubt if his dad (Cr7) would be able to hold on till he comes of age to play in a senior team but if It happens it would be amazing to watch father and son play together in same team, they'll attract more attention to Al-Nassr and even make the team more stronger, cause just like Ronaldo his son works very hard and is as good as him I've seen some clips of him and the skull with goals he scores at his age is very fantastic.

 Ronaldo Jnr would turn out to be one of the best youngster in future and probably turn out to be a world best player in his time as well as achieving the Ballon D'or just like his Dad, he might be playing for Al-Nassr under 13 team currently but I think he'll move to another club ones he turns 16 or 18 years old, he'll probably move to Realmadrid in future.

Many players make their debut  before 18, some as early as 16 or 15. If he impresses and shows promising talent, he can start playing professional football in the next 2-3 years for a decent team.

Can his father play for 2-3 more years? He is in great shape and is still playing at a high level. He possibly can play for the next couple of years at a less demanding league (like the one he is playing at).

But even if they both are still playing football at the same time, facing each other or playing for the same team is not assured.

I wanted Osimhen to live Italy completely and comes to England and have a better life but he has received immensely love from Italy people but I'm concern with some faction of people in that league that hate him badly because of racism. The problem with racism is that no matter how they try to eliminate it completely, it will be difficult to remove completely and my concern is that they love signing Africans players.

I will he happy if I see him in England but godforbid, not in Chelsea. Osimhen childhood club has always been Chelsea but looking at the current form of Chelsea, that's not the best decision to do right now. They will only use and waste his career like they did with Enzo Fernandez and Joao Felix. Luckily, Felix left for Barcelona and has now been able.to revive back his career while Enzo is still struggling, I don't wish to see Osimhen in that form.

The only club I will want to see him is Arsenal, because he is young and very fast with tap in, Arteta has the money in his care, a good call here and there will process Osimhen to Arsenal and it will do much good for them in winning Champions league and Premier League like the way Manchester City did in the last season.

I feel it all depends on how crucial is player to the team. If club finds the player indispensable member of the squad then definitely the valuation will be much more than the initial value and right now Osimhen is actually is as there is no one close to replace him at Napoli. Napoli will surely ask for 150m + Euro easily, there is no doubt about that unless they find someone exactly to replace him. They have already put a lot to get him and that's also another factor too. With recent drama around Osimhen, things can't be said for clear but from Napoli point of view they normally shouldn't budge below 150m euro valuation.

Maybe, but I still think that it depends on what kind of “project” Real can create. Now everything looks very cool and promising, but there is no top striker, if this problem is solved then Zidane will have to come. Purely psychologically, I don’t really believe in this anymore since Zidane has been “on vacation” for a long time and Real has been trying to get Mbappe for a long time and this has already turned into a series that seems to never end.

Cristiano jr just follows his dad and wherever he goes he will go with him until he gets to a certain age to make a career for himself. No doubt he will be a good player with how good his dad is. From the clips i seen he is doing really good and i think he can be a big superstar one day

It is highly unlikely that they will play together, but i'm pretty sure it is their dream to do so. Ronaldo has had an unbelievable career, but at some point in the near future he would have to draw the curtain on his playing career, i know it is something that Ronaldo doesn't want to think about, because he loves playing football, but it is inevitable. He may not get to play with his son, but if he takes up a career in coaching or some other footballing role, then they might work together in the future.

This is interesting for me. CR7 Jr has now signed for Al Nassr U13 maybe it's an academy, interestingly will CR7 Jr follow in his father's footsteps? The father will surely support his son to continue what he has.
That's interesting! I don't think it's likely that CR7 Jr will play with his father as he's now 38 and his son is 13 - maybe by the time his son is 18 his father will have retired.

The opportunity for Messi to return to Catalan with Barcelona is still available, but not in the near future because he is still under contract with Inter Miami until December 2025. Choosing to return to play a season or two before retiring as a club legend is the right thing, I think Messi will be very welcomed by everyone at Barcelona. Maybe this could be the best option as a means to maintain balance in his game when his contract ends in MLS, of course the aim is to be able to appear in the upcoming 2026 World Cup with the Argentine national team.

I think Messi has everything to help Xavi even though he is no longer young, on the other hand Barcelona will get various benefits if Messi returns. We all remember Dani Alves returning to Barcelona, I think the scenario could happen again with Messi. So I think everything is very possible, even though at this time it is just initial speculation.

I am not sure that these inflated prices will be the new standard forever. I guess a lot depends on clubs from Saudi Arabia or clubs like PSG that are run by sheikhs and are willing to pay these prices. Was the Neymar transfer ever really be justified? Did Neymar pay back the 222 million with goals and assists? I don't know whether these investors do some accounting on their investments or whether they only pour their money into these clubs for fun or for other reasons than becoming successful in soccer. I think 200 million would be too much for Osimhen, but that doesn't mean that I don't believe some club could be willing to pay it. Maybe some club will, but Liverpool and Real Madrid would not pay 200 million for Osimhen because these clubs know what they are doing.

I agree to that because bigger clubs would send scouts to monitor a players performance if he's doing well in a mediocre club, I don't know if there are scouts monitoring Jobe or if he's performing very well in his current team, but I'm sure if he stats are good it won't take very long before he leaves his current club to a better place just like his brother Jude,who's now the star player for Realmadrid and has suprised everyone with his goal scoring streak.

 Well I think those are mere speculations that Madrid might consider signing Jude's younger brother based of Jude's performance and they expect the younger one to be as good as that also but I doubt if that's true cause its not confirmed yet, but if it's true it would mean that Madrid have already been monitoring him and are impressed with his performance at Sunderland.

I just found out that Jude's younger brother Jobe, if he plays for Sunderland then no one in the public knows how he's doing.
Even if he is good maybe there must be a Premier League team or another team to recruit him but if Jobe is currently only in the 2nd division it means Jobe's performance is still not convincing.

Right from the transfermarkt rumors now spread to many sports media about Real Madrid who are ready to bring Judi's younger brother, I myself am a little less sure but who knows what happens later, maybe this rumor will be valid?

Man City sold off Ferran Torress to Barcelona in a season he was important than Raheem Sterling and they didn't regret selling such a player out. They may not have the money  to buy Alvarez right now but that won't stop barcelona from negotiating a loan deal for the Argentina youngster. Selling him will not be horrible.  If the player decides he wants more minutes than he gets he can ask his agent for the push peacefully.  Alvarez is a good player but he is not used as the first option he is always used as the back up player for haaland.
He helped haaland pushed him and haaland did same for him too. They have a good coach to guide them.

Football qualities I don't believe is transferred biologically and that's why not all children and siblings of the best footballers in the history of the game ends up as great footballers as well. Jobe Bellingham I've read is good footballer but the fact that he's not been able to perform excellently well like his brother Jude Bellingham was doing when he was 18 years of age means he's not likely to be at his elder brothers football standard in future time. Though he might as well end up as a better player in the future but if Real Madrid sent some scouts to watch him because of his brother's brilliance, they might be making a mistake.

The ups and downs in Alvarez's performance are normal, the most important this is he must keep improving. Now I believe that Haaland is still the superstar striker of Manchester City.  There is no fault in trying to prepare a replacement. And I do not think that Alvarez will be able to compete with Haaland. He is still really good. The problem with De Bruyne is that he is pretty old at this point. 

So it is going to be hard for him to stay healthy, consistently and also perform really well at the same time. We have already seen him getting injured. So I am a little doubtful about him performing at his peak until he is 36.
