Dembele turned down an offer of $200m to join Cristiano Ronaldo’s teammate from Al Nassr club

Al Nassr intends to take advantage of the uncertainties surrounding Ousmane Dembele’s future at Camp Nou in order to activate a release clause in his current contract for the amount of 50 million euros, which is equivalent to £43 million or $56 million. This wealthy Saudi Arabian club already has Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcelo Brozovic (a former midfielder for Inter Milan), and now they are willing to pay Ousmane Dembele 40 million euros per season over the course of a five-year contract.

Despite this, the French winger, who is now 26 years old, has expressed a desire to continue playing for Barcelona and is keeping his fingers crossed that the Catalan club will make an offer to extend his current deal.

In addition, Barcelona is interested in extending Ousmane Dembele’s current deal and bringing his release clause up to a greater level. After selling Neymar to Paris Saint-Germain for 222 million euros, Barcelona used those funds to acquire Ousmane Dembele from Borussia Dortmund in 2017 for a cost that is estimated to be 145 million euros. In the previous six seasons at Barcelona, Dembele has only made 185 appearances due to his propensity to suffer injuries. However, he has scored 40 goals in that time.

Alex Telles, Al Nassr, and Sadio Mane are defending for the opposition against Bailly.

Recent news reveals that Al Nassr have been successful in their pursuit of Manchester United left-back Alex Telles.

Alex Telles’ transfer from Manchester United to Al Nassr has been finalized, according to a statement released by the Old Trafford club. After playing for Manchester United for 50 times in their first team, the fullback will be playing for a side in the Saudi Pro League. He is 30 years old.

According to reports in British media, the Red Devils made a loss on the sale of Alex Telles by agreeing to a price of £ 4 million. However, depending on how well the Brazilian defender plays, that value might grow to £ 10 million.

Alex Telles is overjoyed to be playing on the same squad as Ronaldo once more. During their time together at Old Trafford, the two players developed a strong friendship with one another.

In November 2022, following a shaming interview with MC Piers Morgan, Manchester United decided to release Ronaldo from his contract. In it, he was critical of the club’s facilities as well as coach Erik Ten Hag, former teammates, and the entire Glazer family. He also was critical of past teammates. CR7 signed with Al Nassr in January to take advantage of the club’s annual revenue of 200 million euros.

Alex Telles was no longer considered for a role at Manchester United when Erik ten Hag took over as manager at Old Trafford during the summer of last year. The defender spent the previous season on loan at Sevilla, where he made 38 appearances and contributed to the La Liga club’s success in winning the Europa League. The Red Devils decided to sell Alex Telles even though he still had one year remaining on his contract in order to free up more money for transfers.

Following the signing of Alex Telles, Al Nassr continued to negotiate with Manchester United in an attempt to get Eric Bailly as a midfielder.

Eric Bailly spent the 2017–18 season on loan at Marseille, where he made a total of just 23 appearances across all competitions. Despite his promising play for Marseille, the Ligue 1 club decided not to exercise his buy-out clause.

The Ivory Coast international midfielder, who is now 29 years old and plays for Manchester United, still does not have a chance to play for the club under coach Erik Ten Hag. The player is currently in discussions with Al Nassr to come play in Saudi Arabia.

The Red Devils most recently estimated that Eric Bailly is worth just over 2 million dollars, but they may ask for a greater transfer price if they receive a bid from Al Nassr.

Al Nassr is reportedly in negotiations with Bayern Munich regarding the sale of Sadio Mane, as reported by L’Equipe. Despite the fact that his contract is still valid until 2025, the former Liverpool winger has seen very little playing time under coach Thomas Tuchel, which bodes poorly for his future with the club.

Al Nassr went to Europe in search of players to add to their roster in order to improve their chances of winning the Saudi Pro League this coming season. Even though Ronaldo scored 14 goals in 16 matches for Al Nassr during the 2022–2023 season, the club only finished second in the Saudi Pro League and was eliminated from the cup competitions. This was despite Ronaldo’s presence on the team. Luis Castro was selected to take over as the team’s new head coach by Al Nassr at the month’s end. CR7 has suggested that the leadership of Al Nassr work with this particular coach. The former coach of Shakhtar Donetsk is looking forward to working with Ronaldo and has high hopes for the player’s overall performance for Al Nassr.

After only three months of working with Ronaldo, Al Nassr in 2023 sacked coach Rudi Garcia in the middle of April of that year. According to a number of sources, the Portuguese superstar, who is 38 years old, was dissatisfied with the tactics used by Rudi Garcia, and that dissatisfaction was the reason why the French coach lost his job. After that, Al Nassr decided to assign Dinko Jelicic to the position of interim coach till the end of the 2022/23 season. However, CR7 did not think highly of this ineffective instructor.

According to reports in the Saudi press, CR7 is a member of the Al Nassr transfer committee, which gives it the ability to make decisions regarding the personnel matters of the squad, including the hiring of a new coach.

Luis Castro and Ronaldo share a tight friendship, and Castro has been very effusive in his support of Ronaldo. A statement once made by the Portuguese tactician said something along the lines of “when you have Ronaldo in the squad, you will never let him go.” Ronaldo is, in my opinion, the best player in the world right now. There is a ral machine there. The path that Ronaldo has taken during his career is one to remember. He has made a name for himself in the business all on his own.

It is not well known that Luis Castro is a coach in Europe. His victory with Shakhtar Donetsk in the 2019/20 season to win the Ukrainian championship is his most noteworthy accomplishment. The Porto club is the most successful one he has ever managed.

After 79 matches, Botafogo’s head coach Luis Castro has a record of 42 wins, 14 draws, and 23 loses throughout his tenure with the club, which began in March 2022.
