Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions
Looking at the rumors right now, it seems to me that a player from the Saudi Pro League is very open to joining the Turkish Super League. In fact the player is about to join Fenerbahce Football Club and has even already held talks with the manager of that club in the Turkish League. If Jhon Duran has indeed discussed this matter with Jose Mourinho and Devin ozek, then we can say that perhaps this agreement between them will be completed and this player will be transferred to Turkey. Jhon Duran was associated with Cristiano Ronaldo's club in the Saudi Pro League and performed very well there, even performing well with the Portuguese player.
If Jhon Duran goes to another club and leaves Al-Nassr after an extraordinary season last season then this will be Al-Nassr's second loss for their striker. Talisca is one of Al-Nassr's very good players. But he also went to the Turkish Super league, namely to the Fenerbahce club. And if Jhon Duran also takes the same step, namely going to Fenerbahce, then it will be the second time for the Fenerbahce club to bring in a striker from Al-nassr. In the past, losing Talisca also made it difficult for Al-Nassr in the attack line. And now Al-Nassr seems to have to prepare to lose one of their strikers again and what an extraordinary coincidence because it is possible that Jhon Duran will indeed go to Fenerbahce, which is the same club that also recruited Talisca.
This is also a unique fact that playing in the SPL does not mean that a football player's career will fade. because good players will still be the target of European clubs. Even if the player leaves Europe. It seems that the SPL has become on par in terms of popularity with leagues in Europe. So players there are also starting to get attention from European clubs.
What do we expect? Duran has gone and achieve what he had in mind, the money the Saudi side are splashing just to get the best players in Europe to play in their league is gradually killing football, the money is getting into the heads of some players who choose to play for money and not for the love of the game. For the player going to Fenerbahce after 1 season in the Saudi league shows that he has nothing more to prove in that league, he has seen it all and I believe he saw the boredom in that league before planning on leaving. Some players who went there are not getting that joy like when they play in European competition so this news of Duran leaving shouldn't shock us at all.
