If this will not change the premier league will buy players years ahead, and yes it is already happening.


they have just too much money in comparison to other leagues.

It's not the Premier League's fault that they generate money better than anyone else, it's their achievement and pride. In fact, only teams like Real Madrid, Bayern, PSG, etc. can compete with Premier League clubs, but in fact their positions are very strong, since it is important for any player to play in the Champions League, and no matter how good the Premier League is only 4 clubs from there receive tickets to the Champions League.

I personally feel that Ronaldo is becoming over desirous to achieve what he had already achieved. The only trophy that would have been given Ronaldo a very hard time should be the World Cup. Although he cried very well when he was eliminated from the World Cup. Apart from the World Cup what else does he need?
The debate about the ''Greatest of all time" in soccer was one of the best things in soccer for a long time now, more than a decade. I personally appreciate Ronaldo for his efforts and his achievements over the years that cannot be ignored. He didn't win the world cup to win the argument that he is the real GOAT, but it was exciting seeing him and Messi play and be compared to one another, there will never be any duo like them in soccer. Ronaldo has nothing else to prove, he should take things easy on himself and begin to come to terms with his age and fact that he will need to retire soon from playing soccer in general.
For me Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are still GOATs, regardless of Cristiano Ronaldo's failure to win a trophy at this World Cup. Indeed, many are now saying that the debate over who GOAT is actually over after Messi managed to bring Argentina to victory in Qatar.
I think it's too naive to say that just because one of them didn't get what they didn't get, the fact is that they have been football icons even for a very long time, and until now they still exist in the world of football as professional players.
Messi and Ronaldo will always be the best in their different ways of doing it.

I don't know what I would think if in January Manchester United got Gvardiol from RB Leipzing. Of course it will be a solid wall of defense with Martinez and Varane. If this really happens, it will repeat the era of Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic and Gabriel Heinze.
His statistics are quite good as a center-back with Croatia and RB Leipzing. Likewise, from the age factor Josko Gvardiol is still 21 years old which will be his birthday on January 23, 2023. Of course it will be a long-term project for the Red Devils.
Apart from Manchester United, Chelsea also intends to bid on the player because of the impressive performance shown in the World Cup. Manchester United assesses that Josko Gvardiol can fill the center back or left back position, so that the Red Devils' defense will be even stronger next season. Chelsea also has ambitions to bring in Josko Gvardoil, who has successfully brought Croatia to third place in the Qatar World Cup, because it is believed that Josko Gvardoil can help the Blues' defense become stronger.

Another surprise came from the Spanish League Giants, Real Madrid was one step faster to get Josko Gvardoil, they could use Luka Modric as an initial approach to seduce the player, because the midfielder is Josko Gvardoil's mentor in The Checkered Ones squad. The market price for Josko Gvardoil is believed to be around £60m and I think Real Madrid are more likely to sign the player than Manchester United or Chelsea.

I understand Bayern Munich's high interest in Emiliano Martinez of course. He has impressed everyone by a big effort especially in the final stage of the World Cup. He was actually always a decent goalkeeper but this tournament helped him shine even more. It looks like Martinez has overshadowed Livakovic's performance a little as all the people have started to talk about him now. However his current contract is expiring five years later. Aston Villa might not be very willing to sell him now.

It is up to what Martinez will think about this transfer as well of course. Bayern Munich are one of the strongest teams in Europe in the end. While Neuer is out due to an injury Martinez can play in the starting eleven for the rest of the season. However after Neuer's return Martinez would most probably be in the subs. I don't know if he would be okay to that.

So I agree with you he could take a lot of money over the next few seasons before he decides to retire. other players rarely get this fantastic offer so I think Ronaldo will consider this offer before he gives an answer.

He is not a players just need a money, if Al-Nassr offer the amount to not ambitious players or need more money, maybe they will accept this offer. But, Ronaldo will trying to find better club to play in UCL not just a money anymore. See hor Ibrahimovic did, with lower salary, he accepted Milan offer, and he can bring a trophy for Milan. Ronaldo has a same feeling, need a trophy before he going to retired. Today I read some rumor, if maybe Ronaldo will try to talk with Madrid board, to give a chance to comeback as Madrid players. if this rumor coming true, we can see the best decision ever and maybe become a world record to reject a super expensive offer by Ronaldo.
It is true that Ronaldo will not be tempted by the money offered by Al Nassr. Ronaldo will not be ambitious about money. He still wants to play in European matches, especially playing in the Champions League.
Rumors about Ronaldo being in Real Madrid training have been circulating in some media this may indicate that Real Madrid is giving him a chance, although it is not clear whether he will go there or find a new club again.

PSG are expected to start the talks with Lionel Messi for extending his contract after the end of the World Cup.

I assume it wouldn't be any longer than a one-year extension. Because I don't think that Messi would make long-term decisions at this age. He would like to just see how things go and act according to it. He has played really good for PSG until this moment. He has improved his performance level even more by this season. It is good to see him adapting to a completely different team as well because people were highly criticizing him for not having played for any team other than Barcelona before. Now as PSG aim to win the Champions League title they don't want to lose Messi until achieving that at least.

Yes, they have begun to value Messi much more, because a long time ago they said that Messi had an open letter to leave whenever he wanted, obviously the sheikh wants to have a cup in his UCL team, he knows that with the main trident like Ney, Mabppé and Messi can guarantee it, but it is something that he himself does not know if it will work for him. They have a very strong test against Bayern, if Bayern manages to get a good striker and a good midfielder, they can make life impossible for PSG, let's remember how bad PSG had last season, due to carelessness they left, The same thing happened to Bayern, for me Bayern's worst mistake was letting Lewa go.
I still can't believe that he is not moving to Al-Nassr, those guys offered him 500 million euro for 2.5 years, that is 200 million a year, how could anyone reject that? I get that he likes his freedom and being in Al-Nassr would mean that he would have to follow their culture or it would be a big trouble for him, all of which means even his family would be pressured into living the way they live unless they want risk, so that type of thing is a scary thing or could be at least and I understand that.

However, we are talking about FIVE HUNDRED MILLION EUROS! that is good enough to literally do whatever you are told to do, just way too much money to reject.

I saw that Cristiano Ronaldo did not care about money, rejecting this offer. While it was almost impossible for a football player to earn that money, it was unthinkable for Cristiano, who did not accept the best deal of his career even at the end of his career. No football player could easily refuse this. An incredible offer. 500 Million Euros. I can't even imagine the size of the money. For a moment I thought I wished he had accepted.

I think that CR7 is looking for other things, money is not his priority, because he already has enough to live a full life for himself and his family, what CR7 is looking for is recognition, he is a value For his country, I dare to say that he is a hero and that lately he has been kicked around a lot by everyone, the press, technical directors and players who are barely on the rise and dared to tarnish it when they don't even have the level to do so, I mean their own teammates, so here the lesson of CR7 was that very few are loyal to him, no matter how good you do, here if you make a mistake it is what they will remember, his greatest loss and I think his descent was when he lost his daughter, and that knocked him down, it's normal, he's a human, and I think many showed that they don't have humanity.

Personally, I hope that CR7 manages to reduce his pain to a minimum and returns to his performance and improves much more.

And silence is a part of it:

SILENCE Cristiano Ronaldo remains silent on social media as rival Lionel Messi leads Argentina to World Cup triumph over France



Quote
Fans and football legends have been quick to praise Messi and Argentina, with three-time World Cup winner Pele lauding the Paris Saint-Germain forward, along with fellow Brazilian Neymar.

Even boxing star Canelo Alvarez congratulated Argentina for their triumph, despite feuding with Messi earlier in the tournament.

Piers Morgan was also forced to eat humble pie after predicting a France win, with Messi to be left in tears at the end of the match.

But instead of tears of sadness, there were tears of joy as Messi spearheaded Argentina to their first World Cup since 1986,

I agree with you, that Cristiano Ronaldo is a player who is hungry for achievement and doesn't really prioritize money. If he is a player who only cares about money then we will see that Cristiano Ronaldo was already in the Arab League even before this season because last season he also had fantastic offers from the same team. But he chose a team that could compete in prestigious events such as the Champions League, or a very competitive league.
I personally feel that Ronaldo is becoming over desirous to achieve what he had already achieved. The only trophy that would have been given Ronaldo a very hard time should be the World Cup. Although he cried very well when he was eliminated from the World Cup. Apart from the World Cup what else does he need? He already won the Champions League three times with Real Madrid what is the essence of going back to Real Madrid. it is his personal opinion and choice because he's a player who is hungry of achievement but if I were him and considering his age I would not be pushing so hard I would rather go back and play the role of a role model

Several teams are interested in signing him after yesterday's magnificent performance. In the World Cup, Emiliano Martinez was named the Best Goalkeeper. Bayern Munich might consider signing the Argentine goalkeeper during the January transfer window as a replacement for injured captain Manuel Neuer. Argentine international Emiliano Martinez from Aston Villa could be a serious option for Bayern, not only after Manuel Neuer's serious injury but also because he failed to perform well at the World Cup.
If the rumors of Bayern Munich's interest in Emiliano Martinez are true, I think he should accept a proposal from Bayern Munich as a stepping stone in his career. With Bayern Munich he was able to win several trophies that might be difficult to get from the club he is currently defending. His status as the best goalkeeper in the world cup has benefited him, he has begun to be contested by several clubs who want to use his services. Bayern Munich is perfect for him while Neuer is injured, he can play regularly without having to compete with other goalkeepers because of his experience and impressive performances while defending Argentina in the world cup.

Emiliano Martinez holds the title of best goalkeeper at the Qatar 2022 world cup, of course, this will enhance his reputation and increase the value of Emiliano Marinez himself, but Aston villa will not gracefully sell Martinez to anyone, of course, it will be sold for a reasonable price which can make it difficult for teams that will pay for it.
If it is true that Bayer Munich has managed to recruit Emiliano Martinez into their squad, that is good news to replace the injured Neuer. But I think it will be very difficult to get Emiliano Martinez at the moment because there will be a lot of teams fighting for him.

But, Ronaldo will trying to find better club to play in UCL not just a money anymore.

the problem now that cristiano ronaldo is not attracting many teams to sign him and that in addition to this world cup he did not perform well, see that in this world cup cristiano ronaldo did not manage to score many goals, no managed to be a standout player like in the past, when he took the ball he didn't do the incredible dribbles he did in the past, he took the ball and made a pass to his teammate and was out of it, he's not the same cristiano ronal anymore, his playstyle has become a common playstyle like most players

but the biggest problem that is keeping many teams from not wanting to hire ronaldo is his high salary and also probably the fear that teams have of him talking bad about them in the press like he did with manchester united, I still haven't heard the ronaldo talking about something about reducing his salary and I think he won't be willing to do that, and I also think he doesn't want to go to some small team, he wants to be in the European champions league, and he has been complaining about coaches, that It's something close, which will make the teams not look for him

I think it is time for Arsenal to recruit some top-tier players as for the past few seasons, they have been heavily relying on medium players in my opinion.
Yes, I have to say that Granit Xhaka and Mohamed Elneny are decent players but I do not think that they are enough for Arsenal to win the league.
As a result, I think Sofyan Amrabat could be a good addition to the squad.

I'm sure Arsenal will recruit some newcomers in the January transfer window. Arteta already has several names on his list, for them to bring to the Emirates Stadium in the January transfer window. not only looking for a replacement for Mohamed Elneny, but Arsenal are also rumored to be bringing in several front-line players. for Sofyan Amrabat, his performance at the Qatar world cup was quite good.

however, I am not sure Arteta will be interested in him. because, Arsenal already have several names for this position, there is Danilo, he is a young potential who plays with Palmeiras and Arteta has been monitoring this player long ago. there are also other names like, Youri Tielemans who plays for Leicester City. they are predicted, as one of the replacements for Mohamed Elneny or Granit Xhaka. Another name that will be included in Arsenal's shopping list later is Mkhayko Mudryk. however, so far no official statement has been made by Arteta or Arsenal's management. however, I still hope that Arteta will continue to bring his troops to appear consistently after the league is restarted.

No football player could easily refuse this. An incredible offer. 500 Million Euros. I can't even imagine the size of the money. For a moment I thought I wished he had accepted.
between money and a career where if ronaldo accepts an offer from al nassr then he will be the footballer with the highest salary. For now there is no certainty about the answer from Cristiano Ronaldo whether he will reject or accept the offer from Al Nassr. If we judge Ronaldo, he is already at the end of his football career because he is old and his physique on the field is not as strong as before. So I agree with you he could take a lot of money over the next few seasons before he decides to retire. other players rarely get this fantastic offer so I think Ronaldo will consider this offer before he gives an answer.

The transfer market is getting closer, the big EPL teams are moving faster come near to the players they are targeting in January, Arsenal and Manchester United will be too busy looking for players in the transfer market this season because they need new players to strengthen team.

My personal opinion is that the Saudi Arabian offer for Cristiano Ronaldo could have been a good deal for him. It seems to me that he is now approaching the age of retirement and has aged considerably. Having reached the age of almost 38, he no longer has the same pace he used to have at a time when he was younger. In addition to that, I would like to point out that his scoring abilities and positioning have also been affected.

In light of those factors, I do not believe he will be able to land a top-tier team in Europe in the near future. For instance, I think that the only options he could have are Chelsea and Bayern Munich, since both of these teams are trying to find another striker to join their squads.

Bayern München is looking for a new goalkeeper as Manuel Neuer is injured and is reportedly interested in Emiliano Martinez. After yesterday's magnificent performance, the number of his suitors has increased. We can say that all eyes on him.
Emiliano Martinez started playing regularly after being transferred to Aston Villa after playing for several teams on loan for years. He is 30 years old and we can say that he is currently at the peak of his career. If he's going to make a big transfer, now is the time. Considering the long contract period and the transfer fee given by Aston Villa, Bayern has to spend a serious amount of money to make such a transfer. But they were already going to spend all kinds of money to fill Neuer's place. I think this can be a very logical transfer for both parties.

I don’t think it’s about the money for Ronaldo, the most important thing to him is legacy. Ronaldo could have had a smooth transition to retirement from football if he gone to Manchester City instead he was swayed to join United. In addition to Portugal losing out of the World Cup, the year hasn’t been good for Ronaldo and knowing how competitive he is, he would want to prove to his critics that he is still the best. That’s why moving to Al-Nassr will be an impossible thing for him to do. I have heard rumors that Newcastle may be in talks with his agent for a possible transfer deal. Newcastle from last season have been picking up from a poor form to a historical form this season and in the course of their development they have recruited quite some experienced players and if Ronaldo joins will give them an extra boost going forward so I will opt for this move if it were on the table. Who knows if Newcastle could finish in top four position this season and qualify to compete in the Champions league.

Since the arrival of Antonio Conte on November 18th, Tottenham Hotspur has displayed a shocking performance this season. I think they could end up in the top four at the end of this season. But It could be difficult for the club to keep the fire burning if their key man (harry Kane) doesn't have a well-to-do backup before the remaining half of the season begins, seeing that he features in all their matches. It will be a good thing if they could confirm the signing of Zaha on a free transfer or Mac Allister, as reported by the media.
Tottenham already have Harry Kane, Richarlison and Son Heung min for forward lines so if Zaha left Crystal Palace and moved to Tottenham i don't think he will be first choice for Tottenham because Conte will more likely to playing these players as starting lineup than Zaha unless Zaha are willing to spend his time on the bench so probably he will accept Tottenham offers
And for Mac Allister because he performing well in Brighton that's why Argentina manager was decide to used him to defend Argentina and apparently Lionel Scaloni has made right decision because Mac Allister has successfully to bringing Argentina to gets world cup trophy and indeed Tottenham management was allowed Conte to bought Mac Allister from Brighton but that's won't be easy considering Tottenham have to compete with several clubs such as Inter Milan to gets him
