According to renowned football journalist Fabrizio Romano, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) forward Moussa Diaby will join Juventus on a pure loan deal, with the Turin club taking on the player's full salary. With Diaby's move to Juventus, PSG's significant investment in the French forward is considered to have been wasted. In the summer of 2023, PSG spent a transfer fee of 95 million euros to bring Diaby from Eintracht Frankfurt to the Parc des Princes. Prior to joining PSG, Diaby had an impressive record, contributing 26 goals and 14 assists in a single season for Frankfurt. He also nearly helped the French national team retain the World Cup title in Qatar in 2022. However, despite his promising form, Diaby struggled to adapt at PSG. In his 19 months at the club, he became somewhat of a spectator. This season, he has only played 14 Ligue 1 games, scoring 2 goals with no assists. His performance in the UEFA Champions League has been equally disappointing. Under coach Christophe Galtier, the 95-million-euro forward seems expendable. Due to his underwhelming performances at PSG, Diaby's market value has plummeted. As the player with the biggest drop in value in world football in 2024, the French forward's value has decreased by a staggering 40 million euros. Currently, Diaby's value has fallen from 95 million euros upon joining PSG to just 30 million euros. For Juventus, however, securing a player like Diaby is a stroke of luck. Even though his value has diminished, as a key striker for the French national team, the 26-year-old still possesses considerable…

On that crucial match day, the 14th round of the Saudi League officially kicked off. Al Nassr FC eagerly awaited their home fixture against Al Kawkab. Al Kawkab is not a well-known name in Saudi football and has performed poorly in recent matches, with only 2 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses in their last 5 games. They are currently hovering at the bottom of the league table, ranked fifth from the bottom, just 3 points above the relegation zone, facing a severe situation. Looking back at the two teams' previous encounters, they have only met twice, with Al Nassr emerging victorious on both occasions. Cristiano Ronaldo was particularly outstanding, scoring 3 goals over the two legs, making the opponents wary. In this match-up, Al Nassr deployed a 4-2-3-1 formation, aiming to control the rhythm of the game. A host of foreign players led by Ronaldo started the game, with the team boasting star-studded names such as Mane, Angelino, and Otavio. The defense was anchored by Laporte and Simakan, while Bento guarded the goal. Unfortunately, Brozovic and Talisca were unable to make the squad. As soon as the whistle blew to start the match, Al Nassr seemed to be still asleep, performing extremely lowly with frequent passing errors. As a result, they were suppressed by Al Kawkab. Just six minutes into the game, a crisis arose. Otavio made a fatal mistake in the backfield, allowing the ball to be intercepted by the opponent. Petros quickly sent a through pass, and Basogog, who received the ball on the right side of…

On January 15th, Beijing time, a strong confrontation took place in the 19th round of Serie A, with Atalanta and Juventus battling for 90 minutes, ending in a draw. Neither team scored in the first half, but in the second half, Juventus defender Kalulu demonstrated his goal-scoring abilities, giving Juventus the lead. However, Retegui came off the bench to save the day, resulting in a 1-1 draw between Atalanta and Juventus. Argentine fans are disheartened by the loss of Retegui. In 18 rounds, he has scored 13 goals! The 25-year-old discarded player from Argentina is shining in Serie A, while Scaloni's oversight led to the departure of a powerful center forward. Last season, Atalanta won the Europa League title and finished as runners-up in the Coppa Italia. However, the team suffered losses to their lineup during the summer last year when Scamacca injured his knee ligaments in a warm-up match and was out for an extended period, while Kupmenas became a Juventus player. Scamacca scored 19 goals for Atalanta last season with 7 assists, while Kupmenas had 15 goals and 7 assists. Despite losing these two key players, Atalanta has remained competitive this season, ranking third in Serie A and currently only two points away from the top eight in the Champions League. The 66-year-old head coach, Gasperini, is the soul of Atalanta. He has been coaching the team for 8.5 years, ensuring that Atalanta always maintains its competitiveness. Last summer transfer window, Atalanta signed Retegui for a transfer fee of 22 million euros, and under Gasperini's guidance, he has…

AC Milan has been struggling this season, with an "obvious" lack of offensive prowess, scoring only 26 goals in 17 matches, leaving fans wishing they could rush onto the field to give them a laxative! Well, they've changed coaches! Portuguese coach Conceicao is tough and doesn't talk much, but he immediately sets rules and conducts a thorough overhaul within the team. Then he declares, "We need to strengthen our attack in the winter window!" Looking at his targets, it seems he's aiming for two "cast-offs" from the Premier League: Manchester United's Zirkzee and Liverpool's Chiesa. Is he looking to take advantage of the situation? Conceicao's vision is quite interesting! Let's start with Zirkzee, who stands at 1.93 meters tall and is a big guy, but he doesn't rely on headers. He's technically skilled, likes to dribble, and organize attacks, somewhat like a "false nine." Last season, he thrived at Bologna, scoring 12 goals and providing 6 assists in 37 games, with impressive stats. Milan was interested in him at the time, but negotiations fell through when his agent suddenly raised the price. Zirkzee ended up joining Manchester United for 42.5 million euros. However, since moving to the Premier League, he's struggled to adapt. Neither Ten Hag nor Amorim have been able to get the best out of him, as he's only managed 4 goals and 2 assists in 27 appearances. In the last match against Newcastle, he finally started but was substituted after just 33 minutes, leaving him green with frustration. Now, it's rumored that Manchester United wants to trade…

After eliminating Arsenal in the third round of the FA Cup, Manchester United has received another piece of good news. The club has signed its first new player under new manager Amorim, who is Paraguayan left-back Diego Leon. Currently, this 17-year-old youngster has completed the medical examination and signing procedures and officially joined the team. Recently, according to Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United paid a base transfer fee of 4millionforLeon,plusaneasy−to−reachfloatingclauseof4 million for Leon, plus an easy-to-reach floating clause of 4millionforLeon,plusaneasy−to−reachfloatingclauseof1 million, and a more challenging bonus clause of $3.5 million. Although Leon has already signed with Manchester United, due to age restrictions, he will temporarily be unable to officially register as a Manchester United player. This Paraguayan teenage talent will only be able to officially join the Manchester United first team after turning 18 in April 2025. Before that, he will return to Paraguay to continue playing for Cerro Porteno and accumulate more match experience. After officially signing with the club, Leon visited the legendary Old Trafford stadium. Additionally, he took photos at the Carrington training base with fellow South American players Lisandro Martinez and Garnacho. Interestingly, even Manchester City's Belgian superstar Kevin De Bruyne met and took a photo with this future "Red Devil" star. Leon's signing with Manchester United coincided with the team's fierce confrontation with Arsenal in the third round of the FA Cup. Although he was unable to watch the game on-site, Manchester United achieved victory under Amorim's leadership, adding joy to the new signing's arrival. It is reported that Leon's joining is just…

As the undisputed king of football today, Cristiano Ronaldo maintains an excellent competitive state at the age of nearly 40, coupled with his super high commercial value, making many European giants covet him, and he seems to be getting closer and closer to returning to the Premier League. Currently, three European giants, Chelsea, Paris, and Newcastle, are all pursuing Ronaldo. Especially the wealthy Chelsea, after the team suffered consecutive defeats, they urgently need Ronaldo, this spiritual leader, to lead the young Blues forward, while transforming Chelsea into a more well-known top club. On the other hand, Newcastle, backed by the Saudi consortium, can enjoy more convenience in their transfer operations involving Ronaldo, which also gives them the lead in the race to sign Ronaldo. So, who will be Ronaldo's new home for the new season? Recently, renowned football transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano has given a definitive answer. According to his information, although Ronaldo is eager to return to Europe and play on stages like the Champions League, after considering various factors, Ronaldo has decided to renew his contract with Al-Nassr. At that time, his contract will end in the summer of 2026. It is precisely because of his loyalty and huge influence that Ronaldo will receive a pay raise, with his annual salary reaching 220 million euros. Looking at the world of football, at the age of 40, it is still terrifying to have such a money-making ability, and Ronaldo is undoubtedly the GOAT in this field. After all, Messi's annual salary in the MLS is only 60 million euros,…

The Arsenal team, a Premier League powerhouse, has had an inconsistent performance this season, particularly lacking creativity in their offensive play. After Saka's injury, Jesus, who had just entered his prime form, suffered a severe cruciate ligament injury. Consequently, Arsenal must introduce a forward if they wish to maintain their competitiveness in the second half of the season. According to the famous football media outlet "Goal," Arsenal has made an offer to Juventus, hoping to lease Serbian striker Vlahovic for half a season during the winter window. However, the lease contract does not include a buyout clause. Juventus prefers a one-time buyout, with a psychological price of around 55 million euros. Vlahovic, 25, transferred from Fiorentina to Juventus in the 2022 winter window for 83 million euros. Due to his high scoring rate at Fiorentina, he was called the "new Toni," and his highest value reached 85 million euros. Since joining Juventus, Vlahovic has been the main center forward, having played for Juventus for a total of 3 years, making 124 appearances, scoring 53 goals, and assisting 11 times. Vlahovic is a tall center forward at 1.90 meters, with very comprehensive personal abilities. He excels in headers, interceptions, dribbling, back-to-goal play, and shooting. He can act as a pivot within the penalty area and also participate in organizing attacks outside the area. As Juventus' largest transfer investment in recent years, the team has high hopes for Vlahovic. However, his performance has been lukewarm; although his scoring rate is stable, he has not taken on the role of a core player.…

Inter Milan has achieved a remarkable five consecutive victories in various competitions, maintaining a clean sheet while scoring 15 goals, averaging a minimum of 3 goals per game, demonstrating an impressive offensive and defensive prowess that commands respect. During Conte's era, Inter Milan won the league title but failed to change public perception of the team, as their defeat in the Europa League final indicated that the team had limited potential. How to solve problems through passing and cutting in the absence of explosive moments, how to improve the efficiency of set-piece attacks, and the reasons for repeatedly faltering in the latter stages of the season - Inzaghi not only continued the formation structure and defensive system left by his predecessor but also solved the three tactical "puzzles" left behind. Inzaghi believes that the ball always travels faster than a person, and as long as the players have solid footwork skills, they can establish chemistry through targeted training and rely on efficient passing and cutting to break through the opponent's defense. When Dzeko served as the frontcourt pivot, Inzaghi required core players to use their experience and skills to guide their teammates' positioning. After the addition of Marcus Thuram, the Nerazzurri's passing and control network was readjusted again, with a more pronounced Latin flavor. This season, Inter Milan averages 577 passes per game, with 513 short passes, accounting for 89%, rarely using direct through balls to feed the forwards, but instead relying on precise crosses to create opportunities (21 times). When the passer and receiver attract the defense, the third…

For Manchester United, it seems that they have gradually regained their form after remaining undefeated in the past two strong confrontations. Looking at the situation faced in various competitions, in the Premier League, they are 12 points away from the top four, and if they want to catch up later, they not only need to perform exceptionally well but also need several main competitors to falter. In cup competitions, Manchester United still has a chance to win the championship. In the eyes of the outside world, if they can eventually win the domestic cup championship in such a transitional season, it will also be a good result. At the same time, in the first transfer window after Amorim took over the team, Manchester United is brewing several important transfers. The "Teng-style recruitment standards" have been completely rejected. In the past two and a half seasons, former Manchester United manager Ten Haag had a high say in recruitment, and the team completed several big-money transfer signings. However, judging from the actual results, these players were mostly unsuccessful, including some typical failure cases. Especially Anthony. This Brazilian winger almost put Manchester United in a situation of "losing everything." In this transfer window, several teams have inquired about Anthony's situation and are expected to send an official offer to the Red Devils, but they estimate Anthony at only 20 million euros. Besides Anthony, other players such as Zirkzee, Malacia, and Mount have basically been abandoned. Currently, the "Teng-style recruitment standards" have been completely rejected. According to the "Evening News," Amorim has communicated with…
