Liverpool will lose Salah for free if they do not renew their mega star contract before June 2025, many believe that the club is preparing its best offer to keep Salah at Anfield. Most likely Salah will be offered a short term contract, one or two seasons, his influence on the team is still very large. Liverpool will find it very difficult to find a replacement if they let Salah go, the Saudi Pro League club really wants to bring him in with a fantastic offer. I think for a player of Salah caliber, moving to Saudi is the last option before retiring.

Meanwhile, Salah is currently included in the top five list of top scorers for Liverpool, with a breakdown of 214 goals in 352 matches in all competitions. If Salah stays at Anfield for the next two seasons, it seems that the Egyptian player can freeze 300 goals for Liverpool. Arne Slot has high hopes for Salah, he will be the team mainstay in every match, especially this season Liverpool will play in the Champions League. Reportedly, Mane is tempting Salah to move to Saudi, even though on the other hand, Salah family is very comfortable living in England.

This gets interesting because it is imperative that Madrid wants to get in tune with everything, and if they were to take this player from one of the biggest teams in the PL then it would be something Bad for them The good thing is that Madrid has very good players, it has the resources and why not, they want to ensure their team with the best players, so I don't blame them, it is a great investment, they also have a great coach, for me Madrid is the best armed of all the Teams in Europe.

Actually this is a sad truth but sometimes this is not really the problem of Manchester United like the aspect of Anthony but  in Harry Maguire I still think it's both here, because in the aspect of  Anthony we can see he is still in good terms with the manager and also from the fact that they rated him above   Sancho in the picking order before his loan move to Chelsea.

While the Cr7 issues were thanks to Manchester United and then the media escalated everything and that season was really a nightmare for CR7 especially in the World Cup.

In the aspect of Martial I think we will be able to see if Manchester United was the main problem if he can do well to get his career back on track.

Still around the discussion of Osimhen, but what you said is true, it was even reported that the Nigerian international striker had been crossed out of Conte's squad list. which means, if Osimhen does not choose a club, he will not be sitting on the Napoli squad's bench. so, there is no choice for him but to be loaned to Galatasaray. thus, Osimhen continues to play and he can improve his performance again. in the Napoli camp, this loan option is the last one because of the pressure of the transfer window closing. IMO, I am sure Napoli wants a club to bring him in according to his release clause. thus, Napoli has a large injection of funds from Osimhen's transfer. unfortunately, everything did not go according to plan. which in the end, the last news I read from Fabrizio Romano reported that Galatasaray borrowed Osimhen but Napoli will extend the contract of the Nigerian striker. but until now, I have not read the latest report regarding further developments.

Martial is still a good player and the problem has not been his injury, the problem is Manchester United and their manager. No matter which player goes there, it ends badly. The best examples are Maguire or Antony, both were top players before they came to ManU who got into big trouble there. Even CR7 didn't last long at ManU, so you shouldn't look for the problem at the players. As long as the management and the coach don't change, it doesn't matter which players come, ManU will lack success.

Salah is already on a $350,000 wage contract since his renewal last season, the Saudi league is going to have to double that to get him to their club, last time it was Al Ahli who were ready to give him almost a $1m wage and Liverpool rejected the deal proposal right at the moment it was presented which shows how high they held their talisman. With his contract ending if such deal comes forward again I think he might consider it since he hasn’t rule out the move. I don’t think mane’s condition will actually affect salah’s decision because everyone is different. Moreover I don’t see mane struggling in the league as you have pointed out he is earning the money he deserves and his team have just been unlucky with the silverwares only.


I could remember when the teenag kid was actually labeled a flop even before he had to kick the ball in the premier league he came and had a mesmerizing first season and only got into trouble at Manchester United when he fell out of favour under Mourinho and he actually started losing interest in football and that’s why his personal life became a mess and affect his career. Martial is not fragile and injury prone as we put it he only needs to add hard work to his game, once he gets that back then he can be able to compete again and might be heading back to Europe again

At that time Martial came to Manchester United, he was an hot prospect everyone wanted him, sadly injury woes slowly kill the young lad, I remember when he was trending among new headlines before and after the transfer.
While Flamengo may look backward, showing is career is coming to an end I believe there's hope for him to do well and attract the eyes of European clubs again, remember Willian was still able to secure a move back to EPL even when he went back to  Corinthians, which look as if his career was coming to an end at that time but still keep to Fulham and have a decent stat for his age.

I think the reason Flamengo did go for him was also from the fact that he is quite popular and that will definitely shift the media attention more to them after his signing. Though I hope he can do well and get his career back on track.

The way you guys analyze Napoli and Osimhen situations made it look like you guys are there when all these talks were going on but what we have are just mere stories propagated by media which are most often false just so they can get the engagement and views but since we love bad side of the stories to create different images and comparimsm among players, the agenda will be push until it becomes successful or reach where those people want it to go.

You really think Osimhen doesn't want to be in Chelsea or play in Premier league and chose money. Don't you think he would have left for Saudi Arabia when he was offer crazy fees last 2 seasons but he rejected it because Sauidi is a retirement place. Napoli and his agent jeopardize his career but he was smart to leave for Galatasaray because there offer was there even before Saudi came but that wasn't reveal to the public. One day the truth will be out after his deal expire with Napoli.

I felt really bad for Andre Gomes after Son Hyun Min injured him and even though he didn't mean it, but still Andre Gomes leg fracture was terrible and the most frustrating thing is that before that Andre Gomes was quite good at Everton and was showing good play. Last season he played only 2 games at Everton and it was obvious that he was having a hard time playing and it is nice to see that in such a difficult situation LOSC soccer club decided to help him and took him for the season. I hope that Andre Gomes will be able to restart his career, because his potential was very good.

If you ask me I can say that Salah's case is already closed and we can't expect to see him in the Saudi league any time soon yet because he still wants to stay in Liverpool and most of the fans in Liverpool want to see him in this team for a longer time which can show this player is still in the good form to play in the top European teams for more year and neven Liverpool likes to have this superstar player for a linger and expecting the contract of Salah is one thing I expect to see soon in Liverpool and maybe after some more years he leaves his team to Saudi League.

Osimhem's contract with Galatasaray is only for one season and Osimhen will return to Napoli when the contract ends on June 30 2025. Napoli may consider selling Osimhen next season so that his market value does not drop too low, but we don't yet know what the continuation of the transfer rumors will be next season.

So far I don't know why Osimhen was loaned by Napoli to Galatasaray, but if the reasons you mentioned are true, then of course Osimhen's move to Galatasaray is good. As a productive center forward, Osimhen needs a lot of flying hours so that his performance does not decline. Galatasaray can maximize Osimhen to win more games than last season, but Osimhen can't help if this team is not good in all positions.

I would never tag Casemiro a bad player. The truth is that, he has lost the energy and strength he had when he was a Real Madrid player. Or could it be that the Manchester United tactics used by Erik Ten Hag exposed his weakness? It's either it did or he has lost pace and strength as a defensive midfielder. Because the pace of thr game in the Premier League Competition has increased truthfully. Go back to see the games he played against Fulham United and Brighton and you'd see how he wasn't able to break down plays and counter attacks. I don't want him to leave this very season, maybe they should do that next season. They're moving forward towards winning the Premier League Competition for the first time next season so I'd be expecting so upgrades done.
Yeah, I do imagine Bruno Fernandez as a Real Madrid player every now and then. Most of the important chances he creates are even missed by players like Rashford and co's. Play a striker who can convert these chances created by Bruno Fernandez and you'd see him talked about everywhere.

It seemed not so long ago Manchester United gave 70 million euros for Marcial and offered a 5-year contract, because at that time Marcial was a great hope, but now as you rightly pointed out in his 28 years he is not needed by anyone in Europe.
It is strange that he was offered to play in Brazil considering that Marcial is a rather “fragile” player who gets injured, and the Brazilian championship will not feel sorry for him and although Flamenco most likely wants to sign him instead of Pedro Abreu, who suffered a cruciate ligament injury and is out for the rest of the season, but it may happen that Marcial will be on the injured list with him, considering what a “fragile” player he is.

The end result I think would be a return to Napoli for a further transfer. He moved to Turkey simply because he had no other choice but to sit on the bench. The relationship between the player and the club had deteriorated so much that the latter couldn't even negotiate with other clubs to sell him because they weren't happy with the amount. Greed in this case has put a question mark on the player's career, sad that this is still the case

It seems so because signing for such small club have no relevance to his football career, in fact, it is a sign of ending career because no any big team will consider signing him again among the top teams in the Europe. Martial should rather sign for any team in the Saudi pro leagues than this Brazilian side because he can make a lot of money in the Saudi league since his football career is going to an end because there is no any sign that any big team in either the Premier League or any other European leagues to sign him due to his performance in his former team Manchester United.

Manchester United was too big for him, he find it very difficult to survive or adapt to the stress of the position he is playing that is why he is was loaned out to Sevilla, and after his return, he couldn’t make good impact to get his position back which is why he keep staying in the bench until he is been released last season to search for another club. He still have some time to play football, but if he will be happy with his move to Flamengo then he should move there to end his football career.

That's how flipping strategy is working. Chelsea bought him for small amounts of money, then flip him for 50% - 100% profit. However, it's shame he never had chance here, though he looked decent in pre-season.

And i'm very disappointed to see a young talent is getting wasted.


You must be wrong.   

Salah is a Liverpool legend. At 33, he's still scoring like a pro. Still, the Saudi league has everyone talking. The fact that they want Mo at his age shows his talent. Its tough for Liverpool. Without Salah, a limb is lost. Years of attack have focused on him. Though they have young talent, replacing Mo will be difficult.

They should release him. It could work if the price is right and they have a plan. It must be done wisely. They cant let him go and hope for improvement. Liverpool's always taken the long view. With a great manager, they're always improving. Salah is a real test. The right decision must be made now and in the future.

The latest rumor is as you said that Anthony Martial is likely to leave soon to join the Brazilian team Flamengo, and I heard that one of the reasons Flamengo wants to bring in Anthony Martial is because they have problems with one of their strikers, Pedro, who is currently suffering from an injury problem.
But the problem is as you said that one of the reasons why Anthony Martial did not get a contract extension at Manchester United was because of his frequent injuries while as I mentioned above that one of the reasons Flamengo recruited Anthony Martial was to overcome Pedro's injury problems, so in conclusion I think there is a possibility that in the end the deal will not change anything for Flamengo because both players have the same problem, but there may be other stronger reasons.

I completely agree with what is being said about Mo Salah. Even though he is 33 which is old for footballer he still plays like he is much younger. He is still very good at scoring goals and helping his team. So it makes sense for Liverpool to keep him for one or two more years. But Liverpool also needs to think about future and find someone to replace him when he retires. This way team can stay strong and keep winning. Salah is amazing player and his hard work will inspire younger players. He is great asset to team and will help them for long time.

But there are still huge differences between players in regards to their dependency on the rest of the team. Messi and Ronaldo were able to score goals for themselves due to their superior dribblings and ball control in general. Speed and force and agility were the things that set Ronaldo and Messi apart from the rest and that gave them the opportunities to score goals without the team assisting them.

Osimhen on the other hand is not like Messi or Ronaldo. He is good when he has the ball and he is definitely agile and his movements are great, but he is not a player who can take on several opponents at once and then successfully finish off the attack. He is more the player who is waiting for a good ball to reach him and then make the best out of it, that could be a perfect pass or a cross ball. If the quality of the players around a striker drops significantly out of a sudden, it is far less likely that the striker can produce the same number of goals as he did before. I see this as a test for Osimhen although it should be kept in mind that the whole level of the Turkish league is far lower in general. You can't compare the Turkish league to Serie A, let alone to La Liga or the Premier League.

In my opinion Osimhen has now wasted valuable time to further build his profile as a top star in Europe. Even when he now scores 30 goals in Turkey, it won't be the same as scoring 30 goals in Serie A. God bless he didn't choose to go to Saudi Arabia at his young age. I wouldn't have been surprised if he did.

The most likely scenario - that is my guess - is that if Osimhen plays well for Galatasaray Istanbul, there will be a few big clubs watching out for him during the winter transfer period. Since he has a clause in his contract that he can leave Turkey if the interested club is willing to pay the fixed fee, I guess he will probably be gone by January. There will definitely be at least one club trying to improve their own team due to whatever reasons. Could be their own strikers failing or injuries.
