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.

Every coach should have a fairly broad view like Graham Potter, he buys players who can fill in several positions and not just one position, so when the match feels difficult he can set a strategy by entering players who can fill these various positions and Nkunku is the best option so far, but I don't think chelsea will be satisfied with just one player, they will definitely buy more players in the future.

Oops I did, didn’t I? Hakim Ziyech was one of the standout players in the tournament this year, he did put his heart and everything into this tournament and helped his country go as far as the semi finals in this world cup so he deserves praises for his immerse effort in the team. He shut critics and shown that he is still able to perform at top level and deserves a chance again at chelsea which at this junction I expect to be given to him when the league resumes.

Manchester are a good team far better with Guardiola as the manager. I think they are doing a really good job putting together are very sophisticated and strong team in the English league. Erling Haaland's introduction has also strengthened their attack even more as he gives them that confidence and sharpness going forward which he executes so well. When the money is there it is easier to put the team to preferred standard to compete at all levels and win trophies.

Apart from Partey, Arteta may still have Xhaka, Elneny and Sambi Lokonga in the defensive midfield position so his focus is on players in attacking positions. It is also possible that Arsenal have approached Amrabat but secretly so that the media does not publish to the public like other clubs.
If Liverpool want to get it because there are not many players in the DM position so the option when there are injured players like Henderson and Thiago then the focus is only on Fabinho.

Apart from Amrabat's ability that has been seen while defending Morocco, Liverpool's efforts to bring him to Anfield because there is not much money to be spent at a cost of around £30million. If this materializes, then the process of bringing Sofyan Amrabat is the same as when bringing Thiago from Bayern Munich.

Barcelona can still bring in players in the transfer market with a note that they have to sell several players to balance the club's income and expenses. The arrival of new players is still needed by Barcelona, but with the financial crisis that is currently befalling the club, Barcelona must carry out its transfer policy properly.
Barcelona's main squad is already very solid, they only need one or two new players in the transfer market. In addition, Barcelona must open the exit door for several players who rarely get minutes to play to cut a number of expenses that can ease the club's burden.

With the current condition from the barcelona's financial and im feeling doubt barcelona will able to buy lots of players. As far as i know that if barcelona was not only aiming for two players but six players being targeted by barcelona in january.
Barcelona was trying to get more funds by creating new sponsorship and extending the sponsorship that will expire very soon. Barcelona was always selling the players at loss. This club rarely making profit from doing activities in the transfer market.
I doubt that if all of players who targeted by barcelona will be able to be bought by the club. Barcelona has lost potential income from champion league. I remember when barcelona wants to sign free transfer players only

If Manchester United does not wants to extend the contract of de Gea, it is actually not going to be very good for the player because I don't know if at this age any team is going to be interested in him, especially with the amount of salary that he asks for. And I think Manchester United does not want him in the team just because of the salary. He will have to take a pay cut if he wants to actually play in a top-tier team. I don't think Manchester United is going to offer him a contract extension. Might have to move even though he actually wants to stay in Manchester United.

That's wrong. Aubameyang didn't suit with chelsea's strategy. it can be seen from his performance during his match with chelsea and he was rarely making the goal. I know that if chelsea got so many problems on the club but aubameyang's performance is far from what already expected by chelsea fan. Chelsea has been trying so many times to get the quality striker but the problem is since chelsea was always changing its formation and that would be so difficult to get the new striker that can suit with the strategy that used by chelsea.
Nkuku will come next year but im not sure if he will be coming in january. Chelsea was targeting some strong defenders for now like gvardiol.

Money isn't everything for Ronaldo, he may expect to play at top clubs and top leagues throughout her career.
But I agree that Al-Nassr offer is a good option than Ronaldo must spend the next season without joining any club. He will be 38 years old in the next season, I assume he won't play above 40. So, he only has 3 years (3 seasons) to play as a professional footballer. He is better to play in Al-Nassr for 2-3 seasons before thinking of retirement.

I assume Ronaldo has another offer, that's why he still didn't decide to move to Al-Nassr. If he has no alternative, he seems to end up in Al-Nassr.

IMO

The truth for the price is somewhat tempting, however I have seen that they can do more for a player like Joao Féliz that Atlético has him for sale for 100 million euros, so this is nothing for Real Madrid, he is also young and has a lot of future ahead, I think that this could be a great objective and in the style of Real Madrid, for me it can be one of the assets to put it in context as one of those who should take advantage of signing, in addition to the current situation of almost all the teams In football, they are going through difficult times, of course, with the exception of Real Madrid and PSG, which are teams that are not seen to have bad financial situations.


Well Nkunku is a good option, because Aubameyang is a very good player and he needs help, I see that Chelsea is a team that is getting very in tune with everything, Poter is undoubtedly a very good manager, some criticize him a lot, but I think Nkunku is the perfect choice, now we have to wait, I don't know if now they only have Nkunku in view, as I see it I think there may be other player options, when Aubameyang played for Barcelona he did so excellent, for me it was a mistake that he left, this is something that I don't know how Xavi thought of releasing it, but hey, everyone decides how their team will go.

Chelsea to test the waters with £45m bid for 20-year-old World Cup hero

Actually, Chelsea has a strong striker, Aubameyang. Unfortunately, Aubameyang seems hard to show his best in Chelsea, he experienced a difficult adaptation to Chelsea tactic. That's why Chelsea needs another quality striker, Chelsea needs a striker who fits with Chelsea game style. Having Nkunku in the squad will make Potter to have more options/alternatives in Chelsea attacking line. He can play with 2 strikers (Nkunku-Aubameyang), or choose Nkunku as a the striker if Aubameyang can't play effectively.

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.

Nkunku is now officially a Chelsea new player.

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.

I think it is still early for Messi to leave PSG. There isn't even any other official offer for him by another team these days. It just feels like only Barcelona would be interested in signing from now on. He isn't like Ronaldo in terms of performance of course. He has been much more impressive than him in the recent times. He has proven how strong he still is by his performance in the World Cup also. However not many teams would be eager to meet his demands as they would be quite big.

Even Barcelona wouldn't think of such deal while they are not in a good financial condition. They couldn't even meet Messi's demands when he accepted a pay cut by 50%. Hence I expect him to sign for PSG for one more year at worst.

He is still enjoying the euphoria after winning the trophy that has been a dream in his career, so talking about his future with Paris Saint Germain is unlikely to happen in the near future. His contract with Paris Saint Germain will expire in the summer of 2023, according to reports Paris Saint Germain is trying to extend his contract, but due to the World Cup regarding these talks had to be postponed.

Competition in the Premier League is very tight so if you don't improve in the squad then it will be left behind just like Spurs who are still having a hard time breaking into some of the other teams so they need a better squad with several players having to be brought in by Spurs.
There have been reports previously about Son looking for a new club in the summer of 2023 and Real Madrid have been eyeing the Tottenham man but all is still unclear and Son is still under a long contract with Spurs.
It looks like Harry Kane will be in a dilemma if Conte leaves him if he doesn't extend his contract, despite all that, many have been waiting for Kane to move from Sprus.

I agree with you, my dear,  I don't believe any player that has a strong showing in just one season before the media begins to tout them as a world-class athlete. Players that excelled during the world cup have been known to struggle the following year. Performance at the World Cup shouldn't be used as a criterion for teams to sign players. It need to be based on their reliability at the club levels.

Even Cody Gakpo that Man Utd is interested in due to his present level of performance and fitness. He needs to remain at PSV for many seasons to demonstrate his skills because I don't trust him. before Man Utd even considers making an offer for him.

Right now Manchester City is having the best unit with the help of their coach who is doing good work over the years and now having few quality players which are helping them for having best results and quality and performance both are increasing so just because of this now most chances they will be not jumped into transfer window for any buying with mostly doing comparison Manchester United which is having issues over the years specially after the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson they fail to have good unit and quality player's combination even they spend good amount but still results are not coming as they want which is surely never been ideal for them but hopefully now things could be good and improved with this coach which is doing few positive developments.

Rich clubs, I underline this, because money is one of the factors where clubs will develop very rapidly and that's what happened in the Premier League. Let's call it Newcastle now, after they had a new owner who made the club's finances more stable, this affected their appearance in the League. Now they prove it by occupying the 3rd place in the table. I don't know how long they will last in that ranking, but this is an improvement that they have shown after having a new owner.
Even in the transfer market, clubs that have a lot of money will not hesitate to spend budgets on the players they want. Plus if they are not in good shape, it will make them hunt for players who have a very high market value.
