This season, Real Madrid's defense has faced significant challenges, with injuries to Carvajal and Militao leaving the backline even more vulnerable. With multiple competitions underway, reinforcing the defense has become an urgent matter. However, while rumors have linked Real Madrid with moves for full-backs like Arnold, there has been little action regarding central defenders. Why is Real Madrid reluctant to invest in this position? The answer may lie in this young player. Raul Asensio, the 21-year-old Real Madrid youth product, was called upon during a time of need and seized the opportunity to represent the first team. On the pitch, Raul Asensio showed no fear, engaging physically with opponents and delivering a fine long pass assist for Bellingham's goal in his debut against Osasuna. In addition to his aggressive playing style, Raul Asensio is also adept at getting into the heads of opponents. In a recent Spanish Super Cup match against Mallorca, he not only performed well in both attack and defense but also verbally targeted Maffeo, who had been harassing Vinicius throughout the game, causing him to lose his composure. Raul Asensio's assertiveness on the pitch is evident, whether it's in defense or verbal confrontations, he doesn't back down. Currently, he just lacks experience. Seeing Raul Asensio's demeanor, many might find it familiar - yes, it's reminiscent of Ramos. The former Real Madrid captain was also a tough guy on the pitch, never backing down in either play or words. It's believed that if Raul Asensio can get enough opportunities in the future, he might just become the next…

"Being overturned after falling behind by two goals is something no one could have expected." Just a few days ago, in the Italian Super Cup final, Inter Milan (referred to as Inter) was in a favorable position but was overtaken by their arch-rival AC Milan to a score of 3-2. At the sound of the final whistle, the expressions on the faces of Inter's players and staff were not enough to be described as "unwilling." Not to mention, the failure in the Italian Super Cup caused the team's morale this season to plummet to the bottom - don't forget that Inter used to be a team accustomed to soaring at the forefront of the storm, but now they can't even win a game meant to boost morale. What to do? At this moment, a surprising rumor exploded: Messi might join Inter on a short-term loan in the winter! If this seven-time Ballon d'Or-winning legendary player really puts on the blue and black jersey, will Inter's fate be completely reversed? Or is this deal just a dream? Many people can't help but ask: Didn't Messi go to the United States early and set fire to Miami International again? What does he want to achieve by coming to Serie A? The story starts with Messi's next plans. As a 36-year-old veteran, coupled with leading Argentina to win the World Cup, almost no one would question his professional loyalty. However, Messi's goal is very clear: for the upcoming important events, he still wants to maintain a high level of competitive state. "Someone asked…

The first game of 2025 saw Ronaldo score again and continue to lead his team to victory. After the win, Al Nassr moved up to third place, having played one more game than others, but they still trail league leaders Al Ittihad by 8 points, making it difficult to compete for the title. After the victory, Ronaldo was in good spirits and quickly made a decision. According to an official source from Al Nassr, Ronaldo is set to complete his contract renewal with the club, which is expected to be officially announced in the coming days, although the length of the new contract has not been disclosed. Ronaldo's current contract with the club is due to end in the summer of 2025. If he does not renew his contract during the winter transfer window, he will be able to negotiate a new contract with other clubs as a free agent. For Al Nassr, this would undoubtedly be a significant loss. Ronaldo has previously stated that even though it may be challenging to compete for the league title this season, he still hopes to make a strong push for the AFC Champions League title. However, with Talisca confirmed to be leaving the team, how the team strengthens itself will affect Ronaldo's signing progress. Recent reports suggest that Al Nassr is in talks with Manchester United to bring in Casemiro and is willing to offer him a weekly salary contract worth up to 650,000 pounds. It is reported that Ronaldo is currently persuading his former Real Madrid teammate to join Al Nassr…

In order to "catch" the peak Cristiano Ronaldo, how much have European and American socialites paid? Let's talk about Daniela Chavez first. She is a model who met Ronaldo in 2015. Can you imagine? This woman actually left a video. In 2023, when Ronaldo denied their relationship, this socialite took out the video and accused Ronaldo of being unfaithful to his girlfriend. This was a big deal, as Ronaldo was immediately caught up in a whirlpool of public opinion. Netizens were going crazy over it, and Chavez didn't fare much better. Due to too many negative messages, she was affected in her acting and hosting fields. On the contrary, Ronaldo remained carefree. Let's take a look at Georgia La, another model. In 2022, she received a text message from Ronaldo at a hotel, so she went to his room. This socialite said that although she was willing, she felt controlled by Ronaldo. Overnight, she gained 200,000 Ins followers, which is an invisible treasure. Since spending a night with Ronaldo, her relationship with her husband has broken down. If she hadn't accepted the invitation, she might still have a happy family. In 2005, Ronaldo encountered a "bait and switch" in the "beautiful country." He met a socialite named Katherine at a nightclub, who claimed to have been "stabbed." This incident made Ronaldo want to cry without tears. What was originally a consensual matter turned out to be manipulated by this woman, causing Ronaldo to dare not set foot in this place for many years. Although justice may be late, it never…

On January 10th, in the semi-finals of the Spanish Super Cup, Real Madrid defeated Mallorca 3-0 and advanced to the final with a clean victory. This victory was not unexpected, but every detail reminded us: how terrifying this Real Madrid team is this season. After the semi-finals, Real Madrid will compete for the championship with their old rival Barcelona - a classic confrontation between old enemies! But the question is: will it be Real Madrid's "new core" Jude Bellingham and the gradually improving Kylian Mbappe who will come out on top, or will Barcelona teach this new generation of giants a lesson with their experience? After the match, many fans were impressed, saying, "This Real Madrid team plays with such precision!" Behind this, Bellingham's performance was undoubtedly the key factor. From attack to defense, this young midfield prodigy has repeatedly proven that Real Madrid made a great deal by signing him. The focus of the game was undoubtedly Bellingham. In the 63rd minute, he scored a goal to break the deadlock for Real Madrid. This shot not only ignited the team's morale but also secured his title as "Man of the Match." He received a score of 8.7, with four key passes and several successful interceptions, dominating the midfield with his all-around presence. However, Bellingham's highlights extend far beyond this one game. Throughout the season, he has consistently performed well: in 12 games, he has been directly involved in 13 goals (9 goals and 4 assists), with statistics so impressive that one might think they were playing a video game.…

Manchester City Signs Kusano with a Transfer Fee of 40 Million Euros Plus Bonuses On January 11th, according to reports from Fabrizio Romano, The Athletic (TA), and German Sky Sports, Manchester City has reached an agreement to sign Kusano, with a transfer fee of 40 million euros plus bonuses. Including the floating bonuses of 10 million euros, Manchester City will spend a total of 50 million euros to complete this transfer. Romano stated: "Kusano is joining Manchester City, here we go! The deal is done, with a transfer fee of 40 million euros plus bonuses. Lens has accepted the offer and approved the player's medical examination in the coming days. Kusano's contract with Manchester City runs until June 2029, with an option to extend for an additional year." According to L'Équipe, Kusano will set a new record for the highest transfer fee received by Lens for a player. Lens only spent 100,000 euros to acquire the Uzbekistan defender in the summer window of 2023, and now they are selling him for 50 million euros, making a massive profit of 49 million euros. Kusano becomes the most expensive player sold in Lens' history. Kusano is an international player from Uzbekistan, playing as a central defender and can also play as a defensive midfielder. He is currently 20 years old, standing at 1.86 meters tall. His existing contract with Lens expires in 2027.

We have already enjoyed 10 days of air in 2025, but the French media Foot Mercato is "a bit slow this year," only now compiling a list of the top 10 highest-paid football players in 2024. The Saudi Professional League, Asia's number one league, has become the undisputed "Gold Football League," with a total of four superstars making it onto the list, dominating half of it. President Cristiano Ronaldo tops the list with a staggering income, while Lionel Messi single-handedly supports the entire MLS with his earnings of 124 million euros, ranking second. Both the English Premier League and La Liga have two representatives each on the list, while the German Bundesliga, Italian Serie A, and French Ligue 1 have none. Let's take a look together. Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo tops the list with 263 million euros, becoming the highest-paid player in football in 2024. His main income comes from the world's highest salary at Al Nassr, with additional significant earnings from advertising endorsements, reflecting his current influence in the football world; Argentine boss Messi, who is usually low-key, earns mainly from his substantial annual salary and some advertisements. However, if the Ballon d'Or winner were to focus solely on making money, his advertisements would surely be in high demand; Third place goes to Brazilian superstar Neymar, who, while lying on the sidelines and recovering from injuries at Al Hilal, still manages to earn 101 million euros a year, making him a true winner in life. French team's T-Rex Benzema came to the Saudi Professional League to make a fortune,…

Neymar, as a top superstar in the world of football, has indeed not lived up to the expectations placed upon him. At the peak of his career, he chose to leave Barcelona and join Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), which left fans with many questions. Indeed, during his time at PSG, Neymar did not meet the expectations that others had for him. After joining the Saudi league, Neymar became a player that fans felt sorry for. Throughout his career, he was never able to win the Ballon d'Or. In the Saudi league, he only played 5 games in two years, and even after this season, he was unable to secure a contract renewal. Now, Neymar, who will be leaving the Saudi league, is set to become a free agent without any teams interested. Originally, Neymar had expressed his intention to join Inter Miami and reunite with his older brother Messi. However, it now appears that Neymar, driven by money, is unlikely to choose to join Inter Miami. In an interview, new Inter Miami coach Mascherano was asked about Neymar's potential signing. Mascherano responded, "I can clearly tell you that we will be making targeted reinforcements for the 2025 season. However, we are unable to directly sign Neymar. His salary demands far exceed the salary cap of the MLS." From this statement, it is clear that Neymar is likely demanding a super salary, a level that Inter Miami cannot provide. Therefore, Neymar is likely to abandon brotherly affection for wages, and even Messi cannot persuade this Brazilian superstar.

In the 14th round of the Saudi League, Al Nassr secured a 3-1 comeback victory over Al Kawkab at home. At first glance, this match seemed to be a heroic stage for Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane, with a penalty kick, a series of assists, and goals that were enough to get the blood pumping. However, if we look beyond the excitement of the game, was this victory as perfect as the score suggests? The initial setback of conceding a goal and the reliance on individual star power may have masked deeper issues within the team. Speaking of this match, Cristiano Ronaldo is undoubtedly one of the biggest focal points. He continued to write his legend with a steady penalty kick, once again刷新ing his career statistics: 60 goals in 60 Saudi League matches, 782 club goals in his career, and a total of 917 goals. Just these numbers alone are enough to make people marvel: Ronaldo's career is like having a cheat code. Especially considering his age—38 years old—at this stage, he can still maintain such a competitive state, which is truly astonishing. This penalty kick not only equalized the score for the team but also reaffirmed his status as the undisputed spiritual leader of Al Nassr. What's even more interesting is that Ronaldo's career has another feature that commands respect—the ability to score in 24 consecutive calendar years. From 2001 to 2024, he has managed to leave his mark on the field every year, a level of consistency that is rare in professional football. If you're a seasoned fan,…

Vinicius, as one of the top stars in world football, unfortunately ranked second in this year's Ballon d'Or selection. However, there is no doubt that he is currently the top star at Real Madrid. The club has always taken good care of him, but due to personal character issues and some off-field dramas, Vinicius often does things that fans find hard to understand. In fact, rumors about Vinicius wanting to leave emerged during the summer transfer window. This time, it was reported again that Saudi Arabia had extended an invitation to Vinicius, offering him a salary of 1 billion euros over five years. It must be said that this contract is quite terrifying, with a total salary of 1 billion euros, which would tempt anyone. Even Vinicius himself is very interested in this offer, and Real Madrid realizes that the salary offered by the other party is indeed top-level. Real Madrid has only been paying Vinicius 30 million euros. The salary offered by the Saudi giants is something they can hardly match. However, Real Madrid also needs the other party to pay a top-level transfer fee before they are willing to let Vinicius go. Seeing the current turmoil surrounding the departure of their top player within the team, Mbappe naturally becomes the winner. He has always hoped to get the left winger position instead of continuing to play as a center forward. If Vinicius leaves, Mbappe will be able to take his place and perform at the highest level.
