I think Antonio Rudiger is not at all interested in the tempting offers from Saudi Arabian clubs even though he is currently 31 years old because this player prefers to continue fighting with the giant European club. He has been at the best club and he is an important player to maintain Real Madrid's defense in the back line. He wants to feel a lot of achievements first before leaving Real Madrid because he is not satisfied enough with Real Madrid because he has only felt 2 seasons.

In the statement above, money is everything and is the most difficult thing to refuse, but if the player thinks about his future, then they don't think about it at all and instead want to continue to advance in the European League, only here can players have a career.

Before City will want KDB to leave or will be enticed by any offer they will obviously already have a replacement for him who will still play with him in the club before he finally leaves and I guessed among their main options is  Jamal Musiala been speculation about this.

KDB as always been instrumental on City success and last year it was pretty obvious I much he is seeded by the team especially Haaland so I doubt that no matter how much a team from Saudi bring Man City will want to sell except he wants to leave which I doubt will be the case this season.

Like you rightly said, Real Madrid is reported to have received tempting offers from a Saudi club on behalf of the club's defender Antonio Rudiger but even before reading about the club's response, i was never expecting Real Madrid to accept such offer considering how important the German defender is to the club at the moment. Maybe in the nearest future, Antonio Rudiger will be joining a Saudi club but for now, he's focused in his role at Real Madrid and is working towards bettering his impressive performances of last season with the club.

Yeah, another top signing by Arsenal. Fabian is a quality player, but PSG was not respecting him. I think this is a good move. Partey has many issues, and Jorginho can't play many games. Ruiz would improve Arsenal's midfield. It would help the Gunners compete with City by making the squad more stable.

Fabian was brilliant in Euro tho, so if his price makes sense and i think Gunners don't mind it. I wonder how much it would cost to get him from PSG? PSG tries to cash in on him to acquire Joao Neves.

PSG would not oppose selling him for a decent fee. It would be a bargain if Arsenal acquired him for under £25 million.

When you posted about news, I think you need to enclose the sources.

It is true that Rüdiger gets an interesting offer from Al Ittihad. They offered Rüdiger with a huge salary, it is around €12m-€13m each season. However, Rüdiger has stated clearly if he wants to stay with Real Madrid. He has no interest to join SPL now, he is happy with Real Madrid. He must expect to win more trophies because Real Madrid looks stronger with a new striker, Mbappe. So even if there is a Saudi club trying to sign him, he will never accept the offer.

He already rejected the offer. You can see in this article: https://www.besoccer.com/new/it-s-not-all-about-money-rudiger-turns-down-lucrative-offer-from-al-ittihad-1324510

I agree with you. Kevin De Bruyne has been an important instrument in the success of the Manchester City team, he's been a creative player in the club and his impact is always felt whenever he's in the team because of his contribution towards the goal scoring of the team.

Truth be told Kevin De Bruyne is aging and he's been doing so well but last season he has faced a lot of injury challenges which has really affected his performance in the team and last season, his absence as a result of injury affected Manchester City's performance because it reduced their performance and made the team not to score a lot of goals and right now I think he's got few more seasons to Play and it is necessary for City to start sorting for a replacement for him because he may not likely be strong to keep pushing the team and may be he will finally move to Arab league when he finally leaves City.

People expects the club owners to just get every available player since the need to find someone in that position and it is not so. Arsenal knows they needs a good center forward and they have been scouting the likes of, Gyokores and Benjamin Sesko have been in their radar. The transfer window is definitely not going to close now and that’s why the club isn’t panicking. There is a lot of time remaining and if they force the deal for any of this now they might get a bad deal.

Aside the striker position I think you are right that Arsenal needs a very good number 6 or 8 in the midfield, it was clear last season that they missed Xhaka and proper box to box will be an ideal replacement. Last season as they league started, Arteta tried to play Rice as a 6 and it didn’t work out because he needs another 8 that can also deputize or read game so well for him and none was in the Arsenal squad, the player that would easily complete that midfield is Thomas Partey but Man isn’t available when they need him and I think it is time for the club to move ahead and go for another player

Whatever happens Nico Williams will not accept Barca's offer and I am willing to bet on what I believe at the moment because he is a young player who wants to gain experience with a club that has good finances to provide additional value.
While Barca can only provide guarantees that cannot be given in real terms for Nico Williams because currently Barca has very strong competitors.

Talking about Dani Olmo is actually the same as what I said about Nico Williams.
The reason is very appropriate from the Twitter account post if Leipzig officially rejects the offer and it is impossible for Barca to force spending more money which could worsen the club's financial condition.

Kevin De Bruyne is the most important part of the team. When he didn't play last season, Manchester City had a hard time. But now he's getting older and starting to suffer from injuries. Even if he stays at Manchester City for another season or a couple of seasons, I don't think Pep Guardiola will be able to use him for 90 minutes for the whole season. Whether Kevin De Bruyne goes to the Arab League or not, Manchester City have to find a replacement for him. Otherwise, even Pep Guardiola's tactics might not save Manchester City. Because Arteta and Arsenal look like a more dynamic and compact team in recent years.

I think the annoyance regarding signing a midfielder stems from the fact that they have pressing issues that need to be attended to in the attack department. In as much as Arsenal need a Center forward to challenge Manchester City in the EPL, I also think they need to strengthen every position very well. Last season, they had only Odegaard, Rice, Partey and Jorginho and sometimes Havertz in that midfield. There was no proper rotation which in turn affected their performances. You cannot feature these players in 38 games and expect them not to run out of steam. The difference between Manchester City and Arsenal is that, Manchester City have options on the bench. Injury to one player doesn’t affect the result of their games.

Arteta is looking at bringing in new signings into the midfield to add depth to the squad.
Personally, one of the reasons I want a new midfielder to join them so badly, is because it will put an end to the Havertz in midfield horror show.

Strikers who have good enough finishing are still unable to get Arsenal until now even though there are already several strikers they have brought in such as Jesus or Kai Havertz but still that cannot boost their strength to be better even for last season we can see that more midfielders or winger who score goals than their strikers.

Viktor Gyokeres played very well in the Portuguese league last season especially when you look at his goal ratio. It's just that his current price I think is too expensive for a player who is still quite doubtful even though he is very good at Sporting CP but that does not mean he can adapt to the EPL which is a competition that is quite difficult for current players to conquer.

The current price for Viktor Gyokeres is 85 million and it is very difficult for Sporting CP to make the clause cheaper and I think it is too big for Arsenal's gambling in the transfer of players this time.

Well, Barcelona is looking for the Euro 2024 champions? Maybe this is a reasonable choice given their financial situation. These players have had a close connection with each other in the national team. But their strength is still not enough to help Barcelona compete in La Liga and UEFA Champions League. Barcelona needs more quality players in the long run.
I wonder if Dani Olmo is really necessary for Barcelona at the moment. If Dani Olmo were to be deployed in midfield, he would inadvertently hamper the development of Fermin Lopez, who deserves more opportunities next season after a spectacular 2023/2024 campaign. And don't forget names like Pedri, Ilkay Gundogan, Frenkie De Jong, or Gavi. Barcelona cannot continue to throw money out the window if they want to regain their position soon. And many more reasons. Many clubs want to have this player's signature. Man City, Atletico Madrid, and Bayern Munich are the clubs that are pursuing Olmo fiercely. Is Barcelona's offer better than these clubs?

Lol, the offer from Barcelonan for Olmo sounds seriously funny I mean I get that they do not have money to buy a player like that, and that's definitely fine, but offering something like that is just pure fun at that point, like just don't do it if you do not have the money? They already consider selling some future revenue at this point, and they already did that once and they are in this mess, which proves that if they do it again, they are not going to get out of this mess at all, they are going to just dig a deeper hole.

At one point, I seriously consider that Barcelona may bankrupt, so much so that they will default on their debt, and will be forced to get sold by the government. Normally they are not one of those "sold to some rich oil king somewhere" club, their system doesn't allow that, but if they bankrupt, maybe they can.

Because I don't see any other way out at this moment, they are not paying their debt, and they are not making any new money too, so they will bankrupt if they keep trying these ridiculous offers to players lol. Just keep what you have, get free agents if you can, and bring players from youth system, that is all they have to do for a few years, not going to be end of the world.

Xhaka was one of the best midfielders Arsenal had back then but Thomas Partey and Rice made the midfield more confident to hang in the ball, be flexible a little bit and they are doing it perfectly well, where Xhaka would be missed is when the other midfielders are not doing well but for now Rice, Thomas Partey even Jorginho are doing well so you can't say no player have step up to fill in the void.
I'll still tell you that the Gunner need a striker, a better one and fast if not they are still going to struggle in front of goal next season, ok lemme ask you, when was the last time Arsenal went all out for a striker since Pierre-Emerick Emiliano Aubameyang and Alexandre Armand Lacazette left the side? The Gunners have not had time to scout properly for a striker and if you say they don't need one and no time to rush then you just want to see the Gunners fail to achieve something this season. For the Sporting CP striker the Gunners can over look that player and move on, that's what I don't like about Arteta and Edu, they need to wake up if they want to crush the other EPL title competitors.

In general, Barcelona said that in the first place they will fight just for Nico. Meanwhile, PSG are ready to double any amount of Barcelona, but here the choice will be solely for the player, where he wants to play and develop and I think it is obvious that in PSG he will achieve little, except for the championship within the league, no more than that

Arsenal's midfield may look strong, but since Xhaka's exit, there has not been a player to fill that place very well and be very creative for Martinelli as Odegaard is for Saka.

Arsenal need a goal scorer but they do not need to rush the process to get one because it is not all about rushing to get one but getting a striker who is a perfect fit for the team.

Arsenal have eyes on Gyokores the Swedish striker playing for Sporting CP. It is possible they will be able to sign him.

Arsenal so far has successfully to bought 2 players because recently they had just permanent David Raya status from Brentford and Arsenal also has gets Bologna player Riccardo Calafiori although the transfer of Riccardo Calafiori still not officially finished yet but this player almost certain will be arrived to Arsenal because whether it Arsenal and Bologna has been agree about transfer fees of this player and besides these players i can see Arsenal hasn't stopped to gets more players and now they will targetting midfielder players

For midfielder players actually Arsenal has two names Fabian Ruiz and Sociedad player Mikel Merino but Fabian Ruiz name was appears recently as a player who is very likely to be bought by Arsenal especially Arsenal was very impress to see Fabian Ruiz performance when he defend Spain even we all know Fabian Ruiz has successfully to bringing this team to gets Euro Cup trophy

Fabian Ruiz is not the main player of PSG this season even Fabian Ruiz only spend his time on the bench and during last season Fabian Ruiz only played 14 times as starting lineup of PSG and if Arsenal is really serious want to bought him i think PSG won't hold this player as long as they received good offers from Arsenal however about this transfer possibly Arsenal will do the same thing just like what they did to David Raya that if PSG is really want to release Fabian Ruiz then Arsenal will loan this player for 1 season with permanent option at the end of next season

Because in the end this is like a joke with a pretty ridiculous offer made by Barcelona.
I know they are struggling with their finances at the moment but they don't have to make offers like this because after all this is like embarrassing themselves in the end which makes Barcelona lose even more face.

They forced themselves too much with an unreasonable offer in Dani Olmo's condition which has many options to cooperate with several big clubs.
They have to sell some players first if they want a player of Olmo's caliber for next season because after all with the conditions of the offer like that and of course with a salary that is certainly possible to cut I am quite sure anyone will find it difficult to accept offers from Barcelona at this time.
I hope that instead of them having to try something that seems ridiculous like this, they should try to make some adjustments with players in order to maintain their current financial stability.

Arsenal will never make the fans happy for ones, like why in the world are they going for a midfielder while they know the midfield isn't their problem? Sometimes I think the Gunners are cursed to never get an attacker in any transfer window. Having better midfielders that can turn things around in favor of the club but they want to add more to the list, is like Chelsea getting every player but don't know their main problem.
If Arsenal don't get a better striker I don't see them getting anything this coming season, I mean take a look at Aston Villa how they are going about business, they make sure all the weak spots are being covered, why is Arteta avoiding that position, who's going to give the Gunners the goals they lack? And nobody should mention Saka because the play has been doing both the work of an attacker and a winger so this coming season is not going to be as easy as they think.

Real Madrid and also Rüdiger have received very high offers from Al Ittihad, but the club and the player are currently not interested in a change. I think Rüdiger's decision is important and right, he currently plays at one of the best clubs in the world and is a very important player there. In Saudi he would earn more money but his career would be almost over.
