Is that Alvaro Morata? I also heard previously about one of the SPL clubs who had made an offer for Alvaro Morata. And that club is Al Qadsiah. But then a few days ago I also heard the news that this player had rejected the offer and chose to stay at Atletico Madrid.

But 2 days ago I heard that this player would move to an Italian club, namely AC Milan. Even though no agreement has been made, it seems like this player has also given the green light regarding this matter.

I can't find any news saying that he will go to the Saudi league, from what I see here

https://www.transfermarkt.pt/alvaro-morata/profil/spieler/128223

He has a contract with Atletico Madrid until 06/30/2026, that's 2 seasons. Another important point is that Atlético Madrid still needs him because looking at Atletico's attack from last season, it was clear that Alvaro Morata helped the team a lot, he played 32 games, scored 15 goals, made 4 assists, which shows how to have A striker like him at Atletico is still very important, he is also 31 years old, it doesn't make much sense to leave Atletico to go to a Saudi team where at most he will have a 3-year contract and then retire, the right thing would be for him to stay at Atlético until 2026 and after 2026 at the age of 33, he will go to the Saudi league to retire. this is my opinion


I see Raheem Sterling as being a good player and he has a contract with Chelsea until 30/06/2027, last season he had an acceptable performance, he played 31 games, 8 goals, 4 assists. Looking at Chelsea which is a disaster of a team, it still needs to be improved, I think that the performance that Raheem Sterling had last season is very acceptable, and it doesn't make sense in my opinion that he is 29 years old and that performance is good I left Chelsea to go play in the Saudi league knowing that I would have a maximum 3-year contract and after that it would be difficult for me to return to a big European team. In my opinion he should stay at Chelsea and improve at Chelsea. when he is 33 to 34 years old he could go to Saudi league and then he would retire

Going by the buzz in the transfer market, we can assume that quite a few players are going to come to the Saudi League in this transfer window as well. Several players have not signed an agreement with the clubs and there are no good offers from the European clubs for those players, but if there are good offers for those players from the Saudi League, then surely those players will come to the Saudi League without retiring. We have a perception that only older players move to Saudi Arabia but there are many middle-aged players who have moved to Saudi Arabia in the middle of their careers. Saudi Arabia has now improved their football league a lot and each team is now competing hard with each other which is why the players are more attracted to this league.

Yes, it is not surprising that Al Qadsiah is very interested in Morata, because he is a player who still has good performance, but has a price that can be said to be cheap. However, to be honest, I have a little doubt that Morata will want to join Al Qadsiah, because currently his performance is very good with Spain which will definitely remain Atletico Madrid's mainstay. Because Morata is still under contract with Atletico Madrid until 2026.
So we can be sure that Al Qadsiah's hopes of bringing in Morata will definitely be hampered a bit because of this. Unless, for example, Morata really doesn't want to be at Atletico Madrid anymore, he will definitely choose the big money offer from Al Qadsiah. However, until now there has been no definite news regarding Morata's career, everything is still just rumors. So basically we can't draw a clear conclusion yet.

However, it would be very interesting if, for example, Morata joined Al Qadsiah, because if he joined Al Qadsiah then it is certain that the Saudi Arabian League will be even more interesting and competitive. Apart from that, if for example Al Qadsiah succeeds in bringing in Morata and recruits several more players from Europe, perhaps Al Qadsiah will become a very strong rival for the big teams in the Saudi Arabian league. The reason is, currently in Al Qadsiah's defender position there is already Nacho. However, it looks like it will be a little difficult for Al Qadsiah to bring in players from top European clubs. The reason is, big clubs in Europe are currently competing to get players who really have good quality. So Al Qadsiah definitely has to fight harder to get top players from Europe.

Everything about Kepa is so messy. Right, Real Madrid had him? They're not biting after his stellar season. "Yeah, I might stick around, maybe not." says Lunin. Kepa returns to Chelsea, where Sanchez is sitting in the starting lineup. Getting the shaft is like being the top striker in a goalie-filled squad

Well, the Saudi Pro League is like that rich friend who always buys the next round. By pursuing Kepa, they're making a statement. "Yo, we want the big names, not just the old dudes looking for a final paycheck," they say. These talents make Kepa marketable and ideal. Seriously, it's a chess move, not a transfer. Win-win scenario

It feels like it's only been one season in the Saudi pro league but Saint Maximin feels like he doesn't feel at home anymore and I think this decision came from his own awareness. How could it not be, because he came here at a fairly young age and was only interested in the large amount of money offered by Al-Ahli. Maybe now he realizes that this is a waste of his abilities, but unfortunately it will be very difficult for him to get into Europe's top five leagues. Even so, Fenerbahce is not bad and at least he can still have a career in Europe.

---

On the other hand, it seems that this transfer is quite related to rumors that Sterling will be a replacement for Saint Maximin and Al-Ahli expressed his interest in the Chelsea winger. We know that Sterling is finished and cannot compete with the players in the EPL and maybe it is time for him to leave. It wouldn't be too bad for Sterling if he accepted an offer from Al-Ahli and there he would of course just have to live a peaceful life. His performance has also fallen and that is why Sterling is one of the players Chelsea will sell before his contract ends.

The Saudi league has no strong competition while Morata already has a lot of experience competing with the strongest clubs in Europe and if he joins the Saudi Arab club, I believe he will be the most scoring player and compete with Ronaldo and also Mitrović.
His talent has never been doubted in history he has always been able to give an attractive appearance with the talent he has and the Saudi Arab competition would be more attractive if it were true to accept an offer from the SPL club.
Atletico Madrid will definitely not hold him again because the offer from the SPL is always of high value and this is also an opportunity for Morata to earn a higher salary and enjoy the game before he later decides to retire.

From what I have seen previously, it shows that Casemiro still wants to stay and play with Manchester United until next season, there are indeed many offers made to Casemiro, including Al Nassr, but there is no certainty.
Recently I saw that there was an opportunity for Casemiro to leave Manchester United even though he wanted to stay, several SPL team seemed quite interested in making him release offer at high price and apart from that, there was an agreement and sales effort being made by Manchester United.
This summer, Manchester United needs additional money to be able to additionally bring in several players, as I said before, Manchester United will need lot of finances right now.
In recent times there has been quite lot of debate about Casemiro departure because initially the desire to leave was Casemiro own desire because he was not included in the main squad for the FA Cup match but after some time there was change.
Casemiro decided to change his mind and still wanted to stay, this was one of the debates, on the other hand Manchester United also needed money and put Casemiro on the selling list.

Reporting from Fabrizio Romano, Fenerbahce have reached agreement deal for signing Al Ahli former Allan Saint-Maximin with loan, there are not including permanent contract and the players have decreasing his salary received with Al Ahli.
Jose Mourinho become one reason the interested of Allan Saint-Maximin reach agreement leaving Saudi Pro League competition return back to Europe although he can return back to Al Ahli behind his clause as loan only.

Its little sad for Al Ahli fans because Allan Saint-Maximin have appearance around 90% in this season by playing 30 of 34 matches in domestic league by contributing 4 goals and made 9 assists. But not close interested of Saudi Pro League competition after some top players have perform well in Euro 2024 such as Nacho have reach agreement deal for playing with Saudi Arabia club.

Yes, Morata is a good player as a striker and there is no doubt that he will definitely be successful in the Saudi Pro, especially considering the advantages he can get in Saudi, of course he will be interested in moving there and of course ATL. Madrid will sell him for a high price, but if it all works out then there is no doubt this player of Spanish descent will make himself a goalscorer in the Saudi Pro, because his skill in finding the back of the opponent's goal is second to none I'm in doubt, so I think he'll be comfortable scoring at the Saudi Pro.

Al Nassr offered a 3-year contract and Casemiro accepted it. It seems that he will leave football in the Saudi Arabian league. One of the things that will strengthen Casemiro's hand is that he will play in the same team with Cristiano Ronaldo. Casemiro is an excellent midfielder and I think he can be successful in the SPL.

Real Madrid is still waiting for Lunin to sign a new contract but this player seems hesitant because Real Madrid only uses him as a backup goalkeeper. In fact, he just needs to wait until Thibaut Courtois leaves. He is already 32 years old and his contract will end in 2026 when he gets older. Real Madrid will definitely immediately sold it and this was a good opportunity for Andriy Lunin to fill the main place.



Real Madrid doesn't have much time for his contract before expire until next season. If he isn't sold immediately, he will be a free agent and Real Madrid doesn't want to just lose out. Apart from that, Real Madrid also needs to prepare itself to look for a new goalkeeper.

However, Al Ittihad has not yet received a definite agreement regarding the goalkeeper, so we'll just have to wait and see what the latest news is, Real Madrid is also actually interested in the goalkeeper considering he also performed well at Real Madrid last season.

This narrative emerged shortly after Cristiano Ronaldo joined Al Nassr, people then started discussing the possibility that Al Nassr could play in the European Champions League. So I conclude that this is something that exists because of the desire of several people who want to see Cristiano Ronaldo play in the Champions League. This is natural because Ronaldo himself is an influential figure in the Champions League which invites many benefits that they can get. He is also the top scorer of all time with 140 goals scored while playing in the Champions League.
I'm sure when Ronaldo retires or he leaves Al Nassr (Saudi Pro League) then this narrative narrative will disappear. All of this is only seen from the business side, while there are regulations governing who or which teams can play in the UEFA Champions League. Unless it is possible if there is a competition that will be held by both federations or even more. But I think it will also get a lot of protests (if this really exists) because even now the schedule is too busy for some teams and there are those who have spoken about this too.

Morata is a player to go into Arabia Saudi League he is gonna score a lot of goals surely, he tends to play in a way where this league can suit him in the perfect way, plus for sure Atletico Madrid is gonna be interested in sell him for a good ammount of money.

His pace really declined last season and not just that, the entire disastrous season affected almost every quality player for Manchester United at some point in the Premier League Competition last season. I would love him to stay for another season because I feel like he could still play this season with his experience if the game and also in the last two seasons. But I'm not so sure what will he done by the new owners as they hopento cash out from his sale so they could find other players for Manchester United.

A move to Al Nassr would be much more likely to happen because of his old pal and teammate Cristiano I would want to reunite with him again after they've had all tuese years together with Real Madrid and a short time with Manchester United which wasn't up to a full campaign season.

It won't, so many players who even left for that league are also returning back to another league. A good look would be former Newcastle United player and winger Maximan as he would be joining Jose Mourinho in the Turkish League Competition soon.

Even though Kepa has returned to Chelsea, there is still a possibility that he will be signed permanently by Real Madrid. The reason is that it is rumored that Lunin will leave if he doesn't get the main place, but it seems impossible considering that Courtois has recovered from injury. Therefore, the biggest possibility is that if Lunin leaves, Kepa will be replaced by Courtois at Real Madrid.

However, if this doesn't happen, then Kepa's move to the Saudi pro league will be wide open and maybe he can live in peace after having a good season with Real Madrid, even if it's only for one season. He is certainly not very comfortable at Chelsea because he is starting to be left out of the club's planning structure so the offer from Al-Ittihad is really worth considering. I think Al-Ittihad will get a very good goalkeeper and they can be calmer about the threat of conceding goals if they have a goalkeeper like Kepa.

The news I received a few days ago explained that Casemiro would choose to stay at Man United for one more season. And even Ten Hag had agreed to it. But in the article I read, it was also explained that if Casemiro changes his mind then the club has already prepared a replacement.
(Sourch: https://www.bola.net/inggris/uang-arab-tidak-menggoda-casemiro-putuskan-bertahan-di-mu-77da50.html)
 This does show that there is still a chance that Casemiro could change his mind and decide to leave Man United. And if he does go to the SPL then I also hope it is to Al-nassr. Because I think it would be a good reunion between Casemiro and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Casemiro has also told his coach that he wants to stay and he also realizes that last season he did not perform optimally and was not satisfactory for the coach and the fans, and he really wants to stay and will prove it next season, so I think this season he will stay and will not go to Saudi Pro or Al Nassr who are desperate to bring him into their team to strengthen their midfield.

Looking at the actual situation, it is very difficult for Casemiro and also Man United because Man United also requires large costs and of course player sales will be available, but looking at Casemiro, I think he should be given the opportunity for at least half a season to fight at Man United because he is a very good player experienced so Casemiro should not leave this season.

Al Ittihad seems interested in recruiting the Chelsea goalkeeper who was loaned to Real Madrid last season and he performed well there. Real Madrid has sent him home, meaning the club has no intention of making him permanent. Apart from that, even if he returns he no longer has a place at Chelsea because the club already has Robert Sánchez, who was just recruited by Chelsea last season and will be the main goalkeeper so there is no better option than accepting an offer from Al Ittihad besides that there is no clubs who are rumored to be interested in him.

Well in 2 years they can easily find a new substitute, but the way Morata has played, the way he has led his team to the Euro Cup , that is Something that is pure gold for a team like Atletico, the "Colchoneros" have very good players, that is why in the League they have Always been a team that should be taken care of, although they have not had the luck to win a UCL final, because unfortunately they have to face Madrid or a team that is really on a roll, but even so, this player is very valuable, for me he is playing at a great football level.
