That remains to be seen, player's who have tried to leave haven't been all that easy, mainly because nobody can or is willing to come close to matching their earnings or however much the club want in transfer fee.
I think players who tried to leave did not receive the agreed salary, which reflects poorly on these leagues. But anyway, it will not last. No self respecting player will go there in their prime, no real stars will go there and once CR leaves (so 1-2 years) there won't be any media coverage too. We saw it already in China.

China is a bit different because the money was meant to be spent on developing domestic players with some help of international influence, eventually it wasn't sustainable and covid changed everything.
The Saudi league can definitely make this more long lasting and have the resources to make it grow far beyond the Chinese ever could.

It does not matter, the league does not have a pull European leagues have. So i can only see it as a retirement destination like MLS and nothing more.
We'll see in a few years i guess.
There are plenty to moved there before they're even 30 years old, and it'll only keep going, it really can't be that much of a retirement league.

BREAKING NEWS : Sporting CP has offered 20M€ for Alberto Costa according to Alfredo Pedulla‼️
Sounds too good to be true lol

I mean he barely played for us in half a season and we are about to make almost a 50% profit on him? It’s a no brainer… although i’m a bit worried about what kind of replacements we will find for the right side because we’ll then need another two if both him and Weah are leaving.

Sell him. I dont get why he is getting all the praise.

No techqnique at all.

but as you say.. who will replace him? So maybe he is a keeper after all.

The problem with Chico deal was that Porto doesnt want installment payment. They want cash upfront.
If we can force them to accept installment, good for us then.
Porto is also opening up to the possibility of installment payments for the total amount for Francisco Conceição 7. In the coming hours, Juventus will raise their offer to 25M€ in an attempt to finalize the deal.

I dont mind Sancho, but if you’re looking for unwanted wingers, there is no better one in the world than Rodrygo. Fuck Chico. Get Rodrygo

Rodrygo is fantasy football but would sure fit in perfectly in our trio upfront, is very versatile with high workrate too, anyway he’ll likely cost way more than we can afford so it’s pointless thinking about it.

Well my analysis of him - He is ok, he can do good things but could also mess it up. He played well in the club world cup although I dont expect him to do much better than he has.
20M - I think we should ask for 30M - We dont really have anyone on the right to replace him unless you for some reason want Cambiasso at RB which IMO is retarded given he is much better on the left.

So update on chiccu 20% of sale goes to him personally as Porto couldn’t pay his wages so this is why Porto doesn’t want to go below 25 mil
Napoli trying to by miretti 15-20 mil
The 20 mil for costa has been rejected and we don’t want to sell the player

their squad is not considerably weaker than ours.

as for comolli's alleged list, meh. it's weird to see chico left out though, especially since tuttosport wrote just a few days ago that we're selling nico and getting chico lol. that's how credible they are.
