I do not think that Lionel Messi is actually going to go to Al Hilal. I know he has achieved everything that he can in football. But I think he is still interested in winning European championships in his career.

Of course, if he does get a huge amount of money, it will make sense for him to go to a club like that. If the money is 300 million then I do not think it is worth it. But if it is more than that, actually at least 100 million more than that then I think Lionel Messi can obviously think about the deal. Because at this point no one actually expects too many things from him. Because he has already achieved everything. It is not going to hurt at all if he chooses money over his career at this point.

Gordon is a promising talented young player who will be one of the core member of Newcastle team in future with age on his side £40 million is a good deal for Everton who are expected to pay part of Gordon's sign on fee to their new manager Sean Dyche, Chelsea had previously bidded for him last summer but was turned down, I believe Newcastle manager Eddie Howe is raising a formidable team in preparation for next season UCL by ensuring that the team has quality first and second team players because of increase in the number of matches to played especially midweek UCL matches.

Finally a breakthrough in the deal for Newcastle agreeing on a fee with Everton for Anthony Gordon for £40 million, all necessary papers ready yo be signed and sealed and medical also scheduled to take place withing 24hours, this is good news for Newcastle, Anthony Gordon will add more fire power to Newcastle's attack going forward and give them more options in the midfield.

Now when talking about Messi, actually it's not only European clubs, because at this time, Al Hilal is the most likely to offer another crazy offer for the goat, like what Al Nassr did.
Messi's condition was actually still there and gave the green light for an automatic contract extension for one season at PSG but it looks like this is changing after Galtier decided to move Mbappe up at the club as he is currently the vice-captain for PSG and of course this could be one of the things that matters. not easy to accept for goat.

I have waited for a long time to see Chelsea getting a suitable replacement for Reece James in right back position so seeing  Chelsea working hard to successfully get this deal done makes me believe in Boehly's plans and project for the club. Malo Gusto will be a good addition for Chelsea, they only have to agree on fees with OL to get him sealed and signed.

Even United that approached Napoli are certainly aware that this kind of deals aren’t proper to be done in this winter transfer window because of the impact of Osimhen. The deal can be agreed with the player moving in the summer but united can’t have him this January. To me I think Osimhen is best center forward that united should be going for because he suits the Ten Hag’s style. He has the physics to bully defenders, can hold up play, His aerial skills are good and more so he is pacey. Although the EPL is different to other leagues but I think he can perfectly fit into the team


The Hilal deal to Messi was rumored to around 300 million yearly and this is bad. The major question is whether Messi will like to leave Europe but another problem that may suffices should he decides to stay is; is there many European clubs that could afford his wages. To me No probably clubs like only PSG and Man city have that capability now to make this deal. A move to Barca doesn’t seems realistic to me since they are yet to be out of there financial Woes. Another destination probably possible for Messi is the MSL, with Beckham heavily interested in him and inter Miami having that cash to spend we might see him heading there.

But as it stands now I think Messi will renew his contract with PSG should he wants to remain in Europe

I heard that from the latest news if al hilal would be offering messi two times more salary of CR7 if messi wanna move from EU to the Arabian league. I hope that's gonna be real. The competition between ronaldo and messi will continue for sure.
Messi will not be retiring from football very soon. Messi has lots of options available at this moment. The future of messi is not yet clear at this moment. there will be many things that can happen anytime just like some EU teams that rumored in talks with Messi about his future. that may give us surprise about what will be the new club of messi.

Brighton know if Arsenal really need a midfielder and Arsenal is one of big club in Premier League, so Brighton want to force Arsenal to spend more money to bought Caicedo. But I don't understand why Arsenal is more prefer to Caicedo rather than Mac Allister, Mac Allister is also a midfielder and he's better than Caicedo. The difference is Caicedo is 3 olds younger than Mac Allister.

It will depends on how much PSG and other champions league's club are willing to pay Messi salary, Messi will consider to join a champions league club with high salary rather than looking for high salary only. Except he has no option like Ronaldo where there's no good clubs are willing to spend a lot money to pay his salary.

Moises Caicedo dropped a statement about his decisions to leave and also having the fans in his heart. He loved been in the club and he's time is up and he want to search for new opportunities elsewhere. He had dreams to pursue as he visioned to be one of the decorated player in Ecuador and have triggered record for the transfer fee in Brighton Albion. He's still young and got the strength to played in any club that meet up the bids for the player. Arsenal leading in the race to sign him but Chelsea also in the race, means a tough competition for gunners because the blues always end up with the players they desired.

but I'm sure retirement is not something that Messi will achieve shortly. after the news he didn't want to extend his contract with PSG, it seems that there are many rumors about Messi with other clubs. it was even rumored that Arab clubs were also interested in bringing Messi. and if it does, it will be good business for the Saudi league.

So far, chelsea has been securing 7 players. Malo gusto bought from lyon with reasonable price which was around 30 millions include additional bonus. Meanwhile, chelsea is still targeting some players especially enzo fernandes.Caicedo has been making a statement if he wanna leave from brighton and take opportunity to play in the bigger club like chelsea and arsenal. Brighton must understand if caicedo wants to determine his own future. It's clear that if he was feeling so desperate after his club rejecting some big offers for him. 60 millions was a lot of money for brighton.

@Distraction, I am hearing that Victor Osimhen is not a big priority for Manchester United right now. Actually, he is still a priority but probably not the top priority for Manchester United right now.

I think Manchester United has understood that Napoli is not likely to sell Victor Osimhen right now. I do not believe that the player would have faced too many problems to get settled in the English Premier League. But Napoli is certainly going to take a risk if they consider selling him right now. The way he is performing, it is in the best interest, if Napoli keeps him.

It is funny that Brighton rejected Arsenal offer, €60 million actually is a good offer for Moises Caicedo. This player only has a market value of around €38 million, Arsenal offer (€60 million) is almost double the market value. Although Moises Caicedo is a young midfielder, I think Arsenal no needs to improve his offer. If Brighton refused it, Arsenal is better to look for other midfielders. I believe Arsenal can get a better midfielder with €60 million.

This is what will definitely happen, regardless of anything I still feel it is one of the impossibility if Messi leaves so quickly especially as you said Al Hilal is even ready to make him the player with the highest salary again as well as revive the rivalry of the two goats in one competition.
Even if this doesn't happen, I think there are still many teams who want his services, even though he is now approaching 36 years old.

That price didn't make brighten feel satisfied to let him leave the club. I meant that we must also aware that brighton already rejected such an offer. Brighton was thinking caicedo is worthy even more than 65 millions. It must be close to the 70. That's why arsenal's offer got rejected by brighton. I hope that MU will be offering like 70 millions. that will make brighton to let him leave from the club. that's very good to say that brighton was seeking for more money from the big club.
Caicedo was an important asset for brighton. The club will not let him leave with cheap price like that.

Antony has been criticized because of his form now. He is a huge signing as his transfer fee was like 95 million euros. However people think that his performance is not good enough now. He has scored 7 goals and made 2 assists so far. I also hope to see him doing better than this in the remaining matches. Because Manchester United have brought him here by believing in his high productiveness. He was really impressive at Ajax in the previous season.

He started his journey with Manchester United decently but he isn't consistent these days. He needs to make more contribution especially in the Premier League while the team have an important chance to qualify for the Champions League.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal have submitted a bid worth €6o million for Brighton's Moises Caicedo but I also read later today that Brighton have rejected Arsenal's bid and insisting on keeping the player until the end of the season, hopefully Arsenal will return with am improved bid and see if Brighton will change their minds and agree to sell their star player before the end of the window.

There is another piece of news that brighton already rejected offers from arsenal. That means brighten has been rejecting offers for caicedo two times. Manchester united has been starting to take advantage of the brighton that already rejected two offers. Caicedo feel so desperate to see that its club was rejecting arsenal's offer. poor caicedo.lol Chelsea is now focusing to get a player that played on the benfica. It seems chelsea continues to talk with his agent. Manchester united may give more offer for brighton for caicedo. Caicedo itself really wants to join with arsenal.

Was almost done for McKennie from Juventus to Leeds but Juventus wants the real money.
Leeds wants a loan plus obligation under circumstances, and Juventus wants to sell the player definitely, especially because they don't have a target if they sell him.

So I'm not sure anymore that he will leave in January.

It's been reported that Keylor Navas will join Nottingham Forest and they both have agreed to the deal, it's just that this is on loan as I know from other sources while Nottingham Forest is in discussions with PSG as terms and other costs may also be Keylor Navas will try out the Premier League this super tight one, but don't know how long it might last until the end of the season.
Still in the Negotiation stage with the club.
