Today I read about the history of the worst transfers using artificial intelligence. In artificial intelligence including ex-England star and Arsenal record buy. I don't understand how their procedure works. They seem to combine the number of minutes played, performance, price and level of disappointment. But from this result, it explains that Arsenal have the worst record in transfer cases.  It seems that this can be an evaluation in the team. Good performances from the original club do not guarantee adaptation to a new club, although not all are the same.

Still wondering which Arsenal transfer you rate the worst in the history of EPL, apart from signing Nicolas Pepe for £72 million which was Arsenal all time high I doubt there have been any other tranfer of that nature that cost Arsenal too much. I think Chelsea have more of such records than the Gunners have currently. Murdryk is one and koulibaly is another.

Saturday's gossip:

Juventus have set a £52m asking price for Federico Chiesa, 25, with Liverpool keen on the Italy forward, who is also attracting interest from Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain. So, the big football story starts again. Where will Chiesa end up?
United are also looking at Porto and Portugal goalkeeper Diogo Costa, 23, and Brentford's Spain goalkeeper David Raya, 27, as alternatives to become their new number one. Why is United changing the goalkeeper? Or is the club just looking for a good backup solution?
Manchester United are thinking of giving Argentina winger Alejandro Garnacho, 18, the number seven shirt, which was last worn by Cristiano Ronaldo. A huge honor and recognition for a very young player. What did he do to deserve it?
Borussia Dortmund could target Chelsea and England midfielder Conor Gallagher, 23, as a replacement for Jude Bellingham. Gallagher seems like a very good replacement for Bellingham and a great deal for the club.

In my opinion, £52 million is not too much for a player of his calibre. I think Garnacho has proven to be a good asset and shown maturity in big games he has featured in. I also believe he has earned the chance to play in the first team next season along side Rashford after all he made more impact than Sancho coming from the bench last season.

Thomas Partey its close to joining Arabia too.
They are talking about 30-50 mil per year.

He will be happy to leave Premier League.
And it's happening again, I don't know what will happen to Europe's top league if the players gradually start leaving and I think Thomas Partey seems to be not so comfortable at Arsenal since there were rumors that Declan Rice would join. But for Thomas Partey this might be an opportunity for him to be able to get a big salary per season even though the Saudi league is not attractive enough for him.

On the other hand, he will also start to age next year and it seems he decided to leave earlier than returning to feel comfortable in the European team. Well, whatever his decision is to join the Saudi league team or not, I think he still deserves to play in Europe.

Lukaku has indeed said he wants to stay at Inter, and if the player is still in the context of the plans that the coach will build with Inter, I don't think it will be a loss if Inter keep him.
Lukaku still wants to be in Europe and play for Inter. that is the reason why he turned down offers from Saudi clubs with higher salaries than in Europe. I think Inter will regret it if they don't get a deal.
It would be stupid if Inter want to sign Lukaku because they had sign Lukaku on 2019 and it's the biggest transfer of Inter made, but after played for 2 years, Lukaku seems not contribute a lot and they choose to sell it to Chelsea.

Now it don't make sense if Inter need to spend a huge amount money to get back Lukaku when they were sign him before.

I think Lukaku will play for Chelsea in the next season, if his performance not looks good, his market value will decreased and Inter might sign him.
Recently Inter Milan have already signs Marcus Thuram from Mönchengladbach with free transfer so i think small possibilities for Inter Milan to get Lukaku but today AC Milan was reported under negotiation with Chelsea to discuss about Lukaku transfer and rumour is Milan has agree to pay according to Lukaku price tag 40 millions so lets see whether this rumour is true or not and currently AC Milan has money because they had just sold Sandro Tonali with expensive price to Newcastle so i am sure if Chelsea agree this transfer will be happened

Chelsea actually want to sell Lukaku to Al-Hilal because it will be more profitable for them besides that Al-Hilal was offering him high salary approximately 30 millions per season for Lukaku if he want to considers that offer but seems Lukaku has been refuse it because Lukaku feel he still decent to moved at europa teams and playing at europa competitions

I think Inter Milan should triggered am option to buy in lukaku contract, inother to secure him permanently on their side. Lukaku knows exactly what he wants and only wants to play for Inter Milan. He rose through the ranks of the club after gaining favor with the coach. Saudi clubs approached the Belgian about a prospective move, but he declined and stated unequivocally that he has no aspirations to play in the Saudi league. Inter Milan is his home, and he has received enough of encouragement from his teammates, coach, and fans. Romelu Lukaku wants to stay at Inter Milan and play regularly.
.
The problem is if it's enough for chelsea to send him as loan to another club. Chelsea is wanna exchanging him for money that can be used to buy another player from the market. Chelsea has been linked to the caicedo as the club almost reaches the personal agreement with caicedo.
Intermilan is interesting to re buy him again but the problem if intermilan can't afford it due to the weak financial. That's why intermilan is still not able stabilizing its financial caused by intermilan has very huge debt.
It was making intermilan has no choice other than try to sign a new striker for the club since dzeko has been also going out as free agent this summer. Lukaku just faces more problems as it has lots his mind to be in conflict with chelsea.
Chelsea has been owning his contract and chelsea can sell him to the arabian club. The same case that happened with ac milan and newcastle.

I hope both of parties will able to find the best solution.

According to Saudi Arabia news Allegri is one step away from going there.

They are talking about 100m€  for 3 years.

It seems that Saudi Arabia will continue to sign the biggest transfers of this year. They talk about such a money that even players who do not have the thought of leaving the team have started to want to go to Saudi Arabia. I think they're talking about a very high contract offer for a manager Cheesy
They are trying to create a football country with state support, but I don't know if they will be able to succeed Smiley
When viewed from the stability of Saudi Arabia's money, I am quite optimistic that the next 5-10 years will be filled with other European players, who in terms of salary offers are clearly very profitable and Saudi Arabian Clubs are not half-hearted in making offers like this. There is no doubt that apart from improving the current position of the Arab League in world football standings. So it is possible that the future is much more promising. For now, in my country, as a small example, since long ago there was no television showing Arab League football, but now the Arab League has become a very interesting show to watch. And of course this impact is quite significant which indicates that the Arab Pro League is increasingly competitive.

It is a fact that the league is getting more interesting every day. As the number of quality players increases, there will be more viewers. We used to know nothing about the teams in this country, but now we have an idea about them.
Many things can change with money. This is what we're seeing right now. While they thought they had no interest in football before, now they take part in big organizations or they can buy football clubs Cheesy

It took a lot of money to come up with this idea. We have to admit that, if such large salaries were not paid, Saudi Arabia would not have been attractive for these players. Ruben Neves transferred to Saudi Arabia at the age of 26. They are now able to transfer younger players as well. They transfer to Saudi Arabia from the most important countries of football, England and Spain. This is the new trend.

Lukaku has his heart only for intermilan my friend. Signing him from chelsea will be only wasting acmilan's money caused by lukaku will not be playing seriously for ac milan. It will become a blunder for ac milan if lukaku was going for lukaku.

This player is stupid caused by he is not even having professionalsm in the football. He was only willing to play for a team that makes him feel interested.
That's why chelsea wanna try to sell him as soon as possible before it's too late. Lukaku tried so hard to be a permanent transfer for intermilan.

I hope intermilan will try to buy him as soon as possible from chelsea. it's caused by he was only wanna playing for intermilan. It's not interesting to go to the another place.

Lukaku is a player with soul like Ibrahimovic and he would be good enough to become an AC Milan forward and a perfect replacement for Giroud if Lukaku accepts an offer from AC Milan. I believe his current situation is to stay with Inter Milan for next season but that may not happen again once Inter milan reach a verbal agreement with Marcus Thuram. I think signing Marcus Thuram is one form of replacement for Lukaku next season after Lukaku's loan spell ends this season. Al Hilal was one of the teams that officially showed their interest in signing Lukaku but things looked different after Lukaku expressed his desire to stay in Europe for next season. Lukaku will not be likely to return to Chelsea after Chelsea are not interested in using his services for next season and one way is for Chelsea to sell Lukaku to another team in this season's transfer window. Only Ac milan and Al Hilal are very close to signing him in this season's transfer window.

Actually there is no result in Lukaku's situation yet. Milan are preparing an offer worth 40 million euros for Lukaku. But Lukaku is still insistent on staying at Inter. Al Hilal also made a really solid offer for Lukaku which is a salary of 30 million euros per year according to news. As a result maybe Lukaku might even accept Al Hilal's offer in case of Inter's not being interested in keeping him longer. But if he still wants to be competitive in European football then he should accept Milan's offer.

It would be a nice deal for Milan as well while they are in search of a striker for next season.

Saudi Arabia pays a fortune to football players who have come to retire just like China and they try to design Saudi football with the money. If that worked the Chinese football league would be one of the best in the world. How logical it is to transfer football players who have come to the end of their careers for advertising purposes. Any football player who comes to the end of his career always accepts high offers. We understand from the success of China in football that money is not everything. Have you ever seen a football player at the beginning or peak of his career who wants to play in the Saudi League? You didn't see it because football players at the beginning or peak of their careers want to play football in Europe. Let's see if the Saudis will be able to reverse this situation or will they continue to pay fortunes to football players whose time has come to retire.

I am sorry, but i may disagree with you on this, In my own oppinion the Saudi's seem more efficient and more keen to success than the Chinese era.. The Saudi's approach is different and more convincing to anyone, Money wise most importantly!!,  then they have a beautiful and well developed country and i am sure they can reverse the case and teach the Chinese how it should have been done!!!!,,,  The main effect actually was Ronaldo's addition last season, And then this season they already Got Benzema, a man in form, the present best player in the world, had an incredible last season with about 25goals and 4 assists in all competitions,,, Do you consider someone like that done?? or ready to retire??, Then also Ngolo Kante, although he was out most of last season due to injury, but when he was back, he didn't seem to have lost his juice, did he??, and also there was Ruben Neves, The 26 Year old man with a lot of prospects  and force to give still visible in him, or is a 26 year man ready to retire too?? They didnt even get him for free!!!, They are still about to complete deals of prolific players such as the likes of Koulibaly (Still Very good and decent), Ziyech (Unarguably one  of a the best left legged wingers the world has seen and one of the best players in the last worldcup and just 30Years of age), Mendy, Bernando Silva (One of the best right now) and the likes!!! I can say for a fact that the Saudis are going through this differently and are surely going to succeed.

We have another drama between lukaku and aubameyang vs chelsea right now. I don't know why it's so difficult for one of duo milan to buy him as permanent transfer if they want. They just need to pay it cash and everything will be ok.
Lukaku has been rejecting arabian club's deal. Chelsea is not even feeling happy with it. I guess that the drama between lukaku and auba vs chelsea gonna continue till the end of transfer season.

https://twitter.com/goal/status/1672707855999172610

Goal has reported it if ac milan wants him. There's no progress happening with him.
Chelsea must sell him to the arabian club as soon as possible. This guy was causing so many problems in the club. He has lose his mind. Buying him back from intermilan was a big mistake by chelsea in the past.

In the end I suspected Lukaku would go to Milan because Chelsea and Lukaku don't have many choices and in this situation Milan could have benefited
I mean they can get Lukaku at a cheap price or Chelsea can force to be sold to the Saudi League, I understand why Lukaku refuse the Saudi League
Maybe he thought after in the Saudi League, his career would end up like another player who entered retirement.

In my opinion, a player like Declan Rice should prioritize having more play time instead of looking for the best team to go to. And let’s not forget that Arsenal is not a bad team. They have also finished in the second position.

The sad part is if he goes to Arsenal, there is always a chance for Arsenal to win the English Premier League title. But is it worth having a title in which he is not going to have much of a contribution? With Arsenal, he will also be able to play in the Champions League end. If Arsenal can win the English Premier League title next season. He will also be praised a lot more compared to if he was in Manchester City.

This is exactly how I see it. He's just 24. a four year deal with Arsenal still gives him time to go to any clubs he wants to if he's searching for trophies. If he was a central midfielder, I would also have advised him to pick City without a second thought but as a defensive midfielder, Arsenal is the nest destination for him.
He will have to fight off Rodri to be the starter at City. Guadiola knows hoe to rotate his squad and make sure everybody sees playing time, but in the important matches, Rodri would always be way ahead of him.

Arsenal are also building a great project and it would be nice of him to be part of that project.

If they will sell him they are going for Vlahovic, they have already spoken with the player.

The report is false. We haven't sold Lukaku yet, he is valued at 50m euros and the only clubs willing to pay such a fee for him are the Saudi clubs, but he is not ready to move outside of the euro, he wants Inter Milan and they want another loan, and Chelsea has made it clear to Lukaku and Inter Milan that he can only move for a permanent deal as they will no longer accept a loan deal for him. No team in Europe has expressed an interest in or willingness to pay such a transfer fee for him. This summer, he is a major issue for us. He is not in our plans, and we wish to stay away from him.

There is no concrete link to Vlahovic at the moment
I'm acquainted how the space operates, circulates false information about a player, which are absolutely not true. Chelsea have no single plans to sell Romelu Lukaku, he's the perfect striker for the blues, is just that he lost ambition and interest playing for chelsea, his style of game is quite different from Chelsea pattern of game. Inter Milan keen on another loan deal for the Belgium international by all means, not knowing that they also need some backup replacement for him, in as much as lukaku is strong, he's also vulnerable to certain factors, which we all know and it's severe injuries.

Brozovic is very close to joining Arabian teams as well.

However, Xavi is pushing a lot he wants him at all costs with Barca the next year.
I think Xavi has said publicly that he wants a high quality replacement for outgoing Sergio Busquets, but they may not have the resources to do so. Several names have been linked with succeeding Busquets. Like Martin Zubimendi and Joshua Kimmich and Brozovic are leading candidates, but Barcelona will find it very difficult to sign either player this summer because of their poor financial status. Brozovic looks as if he will leave Inter, and must decide whether to head to Saudi Arabia or resist the millions in hope that a move to Barcelona comes off. Imo I think it’s  best for Brozovic to head to Saudi Arabia for the money and return later to Europe as that is possible. A move to Barcelona is not an assurance but a trial because the present Xavi’s Barcelona may still prefer their home grown players.

Even doubts will be always remaining on success or failure because this all is natural but as things going, and we have huge investments from Saudi Authorities surely things looking interesting because they can do much better than expectations while they are buying the best soccer players, Coaches and technical directors as well which are going to set things as these are important for the better future of this game here in this country.

Mostly peoples were feeling mostly players which already done their best in Europe will join here but in last few days we have few best currently players which are young and have good future ahead are also joining for the huge salaries which is interesting and with this now positive changes can happen as well.
I believe that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is genuinely committed to building and investing in this particular sport for the long term. An undeniable fact is that Ronaldo has indeed joined Al Nashr on a 2.5-year contract, amidst the world's focus on Portugal's defeat in the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. Ronaldo's return has once again sparked conversations among football enthusiasts, as we witness the news of the mega-star's landing in Saudi Arabia, despite his previous statement in a short video where he expressed his unwillingness to play in the Saudi Arabian League.

The addition of Ronaldo to Al Nashr, in my opinion, serves as a benchmark for other top European players to consider playing there. With his superstar status, he has the ability to attract players, coaches, and certainly garner media coverage, shedding light on the Saudi Arabian League. This move is, in fact, a brilliant step that has the potential to enhance Saudi Arabia's image on the global stage. With such strategic measures, I believe they will achieve success in the future.

I agree with you that Ronaldo's addition was the turning force for the great success the Saudi's are experiencing right now in the transfer market!!!, Ronaldo might have done it all for himself when he joined, but a man of his affluence will always pull the crowd wherever he goes, and also whatever he does...  a man of that affluence would always seem as a role model to a lot of people and people randomly follow his ways even sometimes unknowingly... And to the positives of the Saudi's, they have so much to offer in terms of money, with the beautiful city too,,, i really feel it would just keep getting better for them!!!  On similar notes, Inter Miami Got Messi, then just maybe the MLS can follow in the Arabians path too and bid for better players with better future and prospects with a sumptuous fat salary to make it convincing and good!!!

It is a fact that the league is getting more interesting every day. As the number of quality players increases, there will be more viewers. We used to know nothing about the teams in this country, but now we have an idea about them.
Many things can change with money. This is what we're seeing right now. While they thought they had no interest in football before, now they take part in big organizations or they can buy football clubs Cheesy

Today, money is capable of almost anything. They sought fame and are now enjoying it, and they will appreciate the process being as transparent as possible. They have all of this popularity because they have the financial resources. Although this won't affect how many people watch the European competitions, it will undoubtedly divert some viewers from following other leagues as much as before now. Each league has a distinctive style of play and the two leagues cannot be compared.
