AC Milan makes Messias loan into a permanent contract

Junior Messias, the Brazilian striker, has been upgraded from the delivery man" rank to a football star in Serie A after Milan turned his loan clause into a permanent contract on Thursday. 

Messias came from Crotone on a season-long loan, with an option to buy to Millan last summer, where he contributed to winning the Siri A title of the Lombardi by scoring five goals in 26 league appearances.

Milan has deposited Messias' contract with Serie A after renegotiating the purchase fee to a reported 4.5 million euros plus bonuses.

Messias' arrival at the highest levels of the round ball world was impressive as he began his career in Italy with amateurs. Messias' fast improvement in his performance in the football world was impressive for someone who started his career in Italy as an amateur.

He first moved to Italy to live with his brother in 2011 and rose through the lower reaches of Italian football, where he worked on transporting fridges for a living - before being picked up by then-Serie B club Crotone in January 2019.

He helped the Southern team up to Serie A, and two years ago, he scored nine times in 36 League appearances for the team, which went straight back down after a year in the top division. He was then able to play for seven-time European champions Milan on loan.

However, his beginning wasn't successful, with his transfer to Pro Vercelli, winner of seven league titles in the last century, which was banned because second-tier clubs were banned from signing players without European passports from the amateur leagues.

To earn his living, Messias worked as a delivery guy instead of going on holiday in the summer.

These sacrifices led to his transfer to the “San Siro” Stadium to defend the colors of one of the most famous clubs in the world and led him to win his first Scudetto since 2011 and the nineteenth in its history.

When he was asked about Cristiano Ronaldo, he said: "I will not specify the names of the players we talked about at this meeting. But it is thrilling to question some names in the transfer market; I will not mention the name of any player because doing so always leads to misinterpretations."

Manchester City has signed Leeds midfielder Kalvin Phillips in a £45 million deal

 

On Monday, Manchester City announced the signing of England midfielder and United midfielder Calvin Philips on a long-term contract. 

Calvin Philips's contract is a six-year contract without announcing the contract's value; however, reports indicated that the deal's worth is £45 million.

The deal was announced half an hour after announcing the 45 million transfer of the Brazilian player Gabriel Jesus from Man City to Arsenal. 

 According to Manchester City's Twitter official account, Calvin Philips, the Leeds United player, has signed a six-year contract.

The Daily Mail had earlier reported that Philips would conduct the medical tests on Friday, and if all went well, the £45 million deal would be announced. 

Last week, Leeds and Manchester agreed on the value of the contract and Philips's clauses, but the midfielder was on leave. 

 Philips is expected to reinforce the squad of the Spanish coach Pep Guardiola, who announced the transfer of the Brazilian striker Gabriel Jesus to Arsenal.

"City have again proved to be the best team in the country with an amazing squad and a manager in Pep Guardiola who is rightly considered to be the finest in the world," Phillips said.

Phillips will make up for the departure of Brazilian midfielder Fernandinho, after a successful career with the City Lions.

The player, who has played for Leeds since the age of 14, has made 234 appearances for eight seasons, scoring 14 goals and assisting 14.

Cristiano Ronaldo: 5 Possible destinations for the next season

European clubs are 'on alert" to sign the Portagalise legend Cristiano Ronaldo, after confirmed reports stating his desire to leave Manchester United. 

Several clubs, given June reports, are considered the closest to signing the Portaagalise star Cristiano Ronaldo in case of leaving Manchester. Other clubs may enter the competition to sign him.

Dream of an American

The Atheltic revealed, last week, a secret meeting between Chelsea's new owner, the American billionaire Todd Boyle and Ronaldo's agent Georgie Mendez. 

After buying Chelsea from the  Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, the new owner, and a group of investors, have big plans for the club.

After restructuring Chelsea's administration, Boyle starts to build the team by hiring superstars. And the first candidate is Cristiano Ronaldo, who will fill the void after the departure of the  Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku.

The most appropriate adventure

A Few weeks ago, reports from Spanish newspapers stated the desire of Bayern Munich to sign the Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo before the clubs' sports manager made a statement to address the situation.

Bayern Munich's sporting director, Hasan Salihamidzic spoke to Sky Sports and denied any news that link the team to Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Times now suggests That Bayern Munich may consider signing Cristiano Ronaldo in case Robert Lewandowski leaves the Bavarian club.

But Bayern Munich will not take any step forward signing Cristiano, before resolving Lewisowski's issue.

Moving to Bayern Munich is the most logical choice for Ronaldo. As the team is among the strongest in Europe, the dream of winning the Champions League one last time is more likely to happen in Bayern Munich. 

Juventus betrayal

The newspaper referred to Mendes' contact with the Serie A runner-up, Inter Milan, which has an attacking style under Simone Inzaghi. 

Ronaldo might return for the last adventure in Italy and participate in the Champion League. But he will be considered a "traitor" among fans of the Inter classic rival, Inter Milan.

Weirdest Transition

The strangest move could also be a move to Paris Saint-Germain, where he will play alongside  Lionel Messi, which will be a historic step.

So far, Paris Saint-Germain hasn't shown any interest in Ronaldo, despite being the most capable among the previously mentioned clubs to afford Ronaldo's huge salary.

Having Ronaldo with Messi will be a big marketing victory for the club, which always seeks big names, even at the expense of coaches' opinions.

Going to square one

In earlier statements, the Portuguese star expresses his desire to play with his first team, Sporting Lisbon, one day: to finish, there, his career. 

Despite being unlikely to happen now, Cristiano Ronaldo's return to Portugal may be a possible option, especially since the player is 37 years old.

"I feel ready for the next stage, and when the first game comes, it will be good that I have trained before it for nearly six weeks," he said. 

Weeks ago, it was reported that Ajax's former coach would lead Manchester United next season.

 "FIFA is committed to harnessing technology to improve the game of football at all levels, and the use of semi-automated offside technology at the FIFA World Cup in 2022 is the clearest possible evidence." 

How semi-automated offside technology works?

The new technology uses 12 dedicated tracking cameras mounted underneath the roof of the stadium to track the ball and up to 29 data points of each individual player, 50 times per second, calculating their exact position on the pitch.

The 29 collected data points include all limbs and extremities that are relevant for making offside calls.

The Al Rihla official World Cup match world has a sensor, positioned in the center of the ball, and sends the ball data to the operation room times per second, which guarantees a precise detection of the kick point. 

This new feature provides an automated alert to the officials in the video operation room anytime the attacker receives the ball in an offside position, at the same moment the ball was played by another player.

Benzema ranked first and Salah beats Mbappe in the list of the best in Europe

 

Real Madrid star forward Karim Benzema has been named the best Champions League Player of the Season. 

With a 27-goal lead and breath-taking performance, Benzema led his team to the victory in the La Liga and the Champions League in the season 2021/2022. 

On the mass survey on Marca.com for the best players last season, Real Madrid players dominated the survey.

The survey was conducted by 75 international experts to name the top 100 players according to their contributions to their teams throughout the season, individually and collectively.

Benzema ranked first on the list, followed by Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and their teammate Vinícius Júnior in third place. 

As for Mohamed Salah, the Liverpool star, he came in fourth place, followed by Kilian Mbappe, Luka Modric, Kevin De Bruyne, Robert Lewandowski, Virgil van Dijk, and Sadio Mane, then Bernardo Silva and Erling Haaland, in order.

Portuguese striker Cristiano Ronaldo ranked 21st on the list, while Paris Saint-Germain star Lionel Messi came 26th after his modest season with the French club.

Neymar came in 57th place on the list, and the star Ashraf Hakimi appeared in 67th place, and his Moroccan compatriot Yassine Bounou ranked 80th, with the absence of Algerian star Riyad Mahrez from the list. 

This nomination gives Benzema the push to get closer to his dream of winning the Ballon d’Or, the winner of which will be determined according to his performance last season, not the calendar year.
