Real Madrid has as many as three superstars worth up to 180 million this season, with English star Bellingham and French captain Mbappe both valued at 180 million euros (according to Transfermarkt). Vinicius Jr., who recently won the FIFA World Footballer of the Year award, is even more valuable at 200 million euros. It is this 2024 FIFA World Footballer of the Year award that will change the annual salary of some stars in the Galaxy Battleship. Mbappe joined the team for free from Paris Saint-Germain this summer, earning a hefty signing fee and becoming the highest-paid player in the team with an annual salary of 15 million euros. However, this situation is set to change soon. According to recent reports from Spanish media outlet AS, Brazilian star Vinicius Jr. will surpass Mbappe to become the highest-paid player in the team. Vinicius last renewed his contract with Real Madrid in October 2023, but the renewal was actually successful as early as 2022, with the announcement being delayed by a year. The two parties signed a five-year contract with a total post-tax salary of 75 million euros, which translates to an annual salary of 15 million euros. This originally put him on par with newly joined Mbappe as the top earner in the team. However, during negotiations for the contract renewal, Vinicius' agent, Pena, included clauses for bonuses if he were to win the Ballon d'Or or the FIFA World Footballer of the Year (5 million euros per year). With Vinicius winning the 2024 FIFA World Footballer of the Year, this…

Liverpool has been leading the Premier League table for a long time in the 2024-25 season, with a six-point lead after playing one less game in the first half of the season. What will be the final outcome for Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool this season? In Klopp's first season at Liverpool, he achieved nothing! Pep Guardiola's first season at Manchester City also ended with no trophies! If Liverpool can win the Premier League title this season, Klopp will surpass two of the world's top managers, Klopp and Guardiola, by winning the Premier League title in his first season in England! Theoretically, Liverpool even has the possibility of winning the "quadruple" of the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, and League Cup. At the very least, even if they only win the League Cup in the end, they can still surpass Klopp and Guardiola's achievements in their first season in the Premier League, as both of them had zero titles at the same time. But thinking like this now may be too optimistic. Last season, Klopp's last season coaching Liverpool, they were also leading the Premier League table halfway through the season, but they eventually finished third. Currently, Liverpool's main players in all three lines have almost no injuries and are maintaining full attendance, which is quite rare. Klopp's luck is quite good. Last summer transfer window, Liverpool sold some young players and made a lot of money. They used part of it to introduce Federico Chiesa before the window closed, but he was also left idle. New coach Klopp did not…

‌€5 million! Atlético Madrid's attacker's value plummets to an all-time low, bought for €72 million 5 years ago On the morning of January 2nd, Beijing time, the German transfer market website updated the value of La Liga players. The French attacking player Thomas Lemar, who plays for Atlético Madrid, is now valued at only 5 million euros. At his peak, his value was as high as 70 million euros, and Atlético Madrid spent 72 million euros to sign him five years ago. This season, Atlético Madrid's performance has soared. After a 2-1 away victory over Barcelona in the 18th round of La Liga, Simeone's team has won seven consecutive victories in La Liga and 12 consecutive victories in all competitions, successfully topping the La Liga standings. However, none of this has much to do with Lemar. So far, the 29-year-old French attacking player has only played two games as a substitute for Atlético Madrid, one in La Liga for 13 minutes and one in the King's Cup for 22 minutes, totaling 35 minutes with no goals or assists, having become a marginal player. But what's worse is that Lemar's contract runs until the summer of 2027. Born in November 1995, Lemar is 29 years old this year and comes from the Caen youth training in France. He once played 36 games in various competitions for the Caen first team, scoring 1 goal and providing 6 assists. In July 2015, Ligue 1 giants Monaco signed Lemar for 4 million euros. At the Stade Louis II, Lemar fully demonstrated his abilities. In…

For Barcelona, although the team's operational situation this season has shown significant improvement compared to previous seasons, the club has once again stumbled in individual player transfer operations. After the registration deadline in the middle of the season, Barcelona still failed to register Olmo, which undoubtedly caused significant losses for the team. According to La Liga regulations, Olmo will not be able to represent Barcelona at least for the second half of this season. In the most pessimistic scenario, Barcelona may ultimately face a situation where they "lose both their wife and their troops." At the beginning of this season, when Barcelona signed Olmo, the team did not have the conditions to register the player. At that time, Laporta took advantage of the injuries of players like Christensen to trigger the injury clause of La Liga, allowing Olmo to be registered. However, with the recovery of Christensen and others, Barcelona could no longer use this clause. In this situation, Laporta has taken various measures in the past period to try to convince the management of La Liga to agree to register Olmo, but all were rejected. With the registration deadline over, all of Barcelona's efforts have ultimately failed. According to the contract between Barcelona and Olmo, if Barcelona cannot continue to register Olmo for the second half of the season, the player has the right to immediately terminate the contract without having to pay a breach of contract fee and can receive the full salary for the six-year contract period. Currently, Olmo faces two choices. The first is to immediately…

Barcelona has a rich history of top-tier football stars, with legends like Messi, Neymar, Xavi, and Iniesta leaving their mark on the club. The "Dream Team" of Barcelona's third era created an unprecedented sextuple title-winning season that no other team has been able to surpass. However, in recent seasons, Barcelona has been overshadowed by Real Madrid, and this season has been particularly challenging, with the team experiencing a decline in form. Despite this, Barcelona has never been short of top talent, including several players in their prime who have chosen to leave the club for various reasons, only to find it difficult to return to their peak performance levels. Neymar At 32 years old, Neymar has just made his comeback, having come off the bench twice for Al Nassr this season, with his market value dropping to 15 million euros. In August 2023, Neymar moved from French giants Paris Saint-Germain to Saudi Arabia's Al Nassr, effectively stepping out of Europe's top five leagues. Many still believe that Neymar should not have left Barcelona, especially when he had a significant chance of winning the Ballon d'Or. Neymar officially joined Barcelona from Santos in 2013, forming the formidable "MSN" trio with Messi and Suarez, achieving numerous accolades and being widely recognized as the third-best player in the world and the natural successor to Messi. However, in the 2015-16 season, Neymar chose to leave Barcelona for PSG. His career trajectory has since been on a downward spiral, and his departure also contributed to Barcelona's rapid decline from its peak. While at PSG, Neymar…

17:10 - Al Nassr did not consider signing Cristiano Ronaldo, and his name was not mentioned in the meeting preparing for the World Cup. 17:00 - Barcelona failed to register Olmo and Victor. If Olmo chooses to stay at Barcelona, he will not be able to play for Barcelona for the rest of the season. According to the contract, Olmo can regain his free agent status, and Barcelona still needs to pay him a fixed transfer fee for six years. 16:55 - The "Manchester Evening News" reported that Manchester United has no budget for new signings in the winter window, and the club must sell players before buying. The management of Manchester United still supports Zirkzee privately, and the club will listen to offers for Rashford, Casemiro, and Antony. 16:30 - Real Madrid offered a formal offer of 15 million euros for Arnold, which Liverpool rejected outright and stated that they would not give up trying to renew the contract with Arnold. Owen publicly stated that in his opinion, Arnold joining Real Madrid is just a matter of time, and both sides have been conducting secret negotiations. 16:02 - Salah and Van Dijk are about to renew their contracts with Liverpool, and it is expected that both will sign new contracts for two years. Chiesa is still struggling to adapt to the pace and weather of the Premier League, and many teams including Milan, Inter Milan, and Napoli are interested in signing him. 15:53 - Romano revealed that Arsenal will not introduce new wingers, and the club will continue to…

The registration of Olmo by Barcelona has become a "New Year's joke" in La Liga and even the world football community. On January 1st, there is no longer any information about Olmo on the official website of La Liga - his information has been deleted due to his unsuccessful registration. In the summer of 2024, Olmo joined Barcelona for a transfer fee of 55 million euros. However, due to the salary cap, Barcelona was unable to register him. With Christensen out injured for four months, Barcelona freed up salary space to register Olmo for half a year, with the need to re-register before January 1, 2025. An incredible event occurred. On December 31, 2024, Barcelona failed to raise funds and could not register Olmo. Media outlets such as "Mundo Deportivo" revealed that Barcelona had three more days to handle Olmo's registration. However, this was not the case. Looking at the La Liga top scorers list on the official website, Olmo, who scored 5 goals in La Liga, is ranked 17th in the top scorers list. However, Olmo's avatar is black, while other players have photos. Clicking on Olmo's name, it clearly states: "We don't have any data on this player." In other words, Olmo is "untraceable." Another Barcelona player, Paul Victor, also has a "black avatar," and his information has been deleted. According to Olmo's contract, if he fails to register successfully, he can freely transfer away from Barcelona. If Olmo really leaves on a free transfer, how much will Barcelona lose? "Mundo Deportivo" calculated the cost. Barcelona spent 55…

According to the Italian newspaper "La Gazzetta dello Sport", Real Madrid is increasingly inclined to accept an offer and sell young player Nico Paz to Inter Milan. This decision is based on the team's personnel structure and the player's personal preferences, with a surprising price tag of 25 million euros. This season, Argentine youngster Nico Paz was sold by Real Madrid to Serie A promoted team Como for a low price of 6 million euros. After transferring to Serie A, Paz performed outstandingly, scoring 2 goals and assisting 3 times in 16 games, becoming the core of the team's tactics. Thanks to his excellent performance, Como successfully occupied the mid-table position in Serie A with hopes of relegation. Paz himself also made it into the Argentine national team and received playing opportunities. It is worth mentioning that in the limited time he played for the national team, Paz managed to get 1 assist, and the recipient of the assist was none other than the legendary football king, Messi, helping him complete a hat-trick. After the game, Messi highly praised this young brother, believing that he has the potential to support the future of Argentina. It is precisely because of such outstanding performances on the field that Paz has gained the favor of Serie A giants Inter Milan. The team's general manager Ausilio and vice-chairman Zanetti were sent to watch Paz's matches on site, listing him as an important transfer target. However, for Inter Milan, the real obstacle to acquiring Paz comes from Real Madrid. Although his ownership has already reached…

With the arrival of the new year, La Liga has once again made clear its firm stance. The personal profiles of Olmo and Victor, along with their respective jersey numbers, have disappeared from the official La Liga website. Meanwhile, Christensen still appears on the website; Barcelona had initially registered Olmo by taking advantage of his long-term injury. However, the registration validity for Olmo and Victor could only last until December 31, 2024. With the passing of that day, La Liga took action in accordance with regulations, as described in their statement on December 31 (for more details, refer to my earlier article today, linked below). Yesterday, at the request of La Liga, Barcelona submitted documents related to the sale of VIP seats at Camp Nou, including contracts and payment guarantees. However, the latest news indicates that the employers' association cannot confirm receipt of all expected revenue. As a result, Barcelona was compelled to issue an official statement revealing that they have submitted an application to the Spanish Football Federation, requesting new registration certificates for Olmo and Victor. However, according to information from the Spanish Football Federation, no player can obtain a registration certificate without the official approval of La Liga. Despite this, Barcelona remains confident. The club has stated that they will provide a full explanation of the situation on January 3.

The transfer of Bayern's left-back Alphonso Davies is becoming increasingly interesting. Previously, according to reports from German newspaper "Münchner Zeitung" and Spanish newspaper "Mundo Deportivo," Alphonso Davies was not interested in signing with Real Madrid for free but instead preferred to sign a five-year contract with Bayern, staying with the team because the salary offered by Real Madrid was significantly lower than the Canadian's expectations. However, considering that Münchner Zeitung leans towards Bayern and Mundo Deportivo leans towards Barcelona, this rumor seemed suspicious from the start, as their respective positions determine that one wants Bayern to do well while the other wants Real Madrid to falter. Sure enough, just a few days later, Alphonso's situation changed again, this time unrelated to any football media. Instead, a fan discovered the Bayern full-back at a concert in Dubai. Even more bizarrely, accompanying him to the concert was not a teammate from Bayern or the Canadian national team, but Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham. A Canadian and an Englishman, who had never crossed paths before, were seen together, engaging in personal activities such as attending a concert and touring Dubai, which is quite intriguing. In fact, Bellingham, valued at 200 million euros, is not only outstanding on the field but also a social networking expert off the field. Throughout his football career, he dared to reject invitations from major Premier League clubs at the age of 16 and went to Germany alone, joining Borussia Dortmund, known for using young players, to start his career. In the following three years, Bellingham's excellent performance at…
