‘King of Football’ Pele passed away at the age of 82 after a long baттle with intestinal cɑncer. He took his last breath at Albert Einstein Hospital in the arms of his family, who were with Pele this past Christmas.

Immediately after Pele’s deaтh, the President of Brazil announced the decision to hold a 3-day national mourning in memory of the greatest player in the history of the country. In the city of Santos – where the “Soccer King” spent most of his career playing at the club of the same name, also held a memorial for Pele within 7 days.

During the period playing for Santos club (1956-1974), Pele wore the number 10 shirt. Here, he achieved a terrible scoring performance with 619 goals in 638 appearances. After Pele left, there were many players who inherited this number, but none reached the level of influence and class as Pele. Among these, Neymar is a rare name that shows excellent performance and is the most well-known, however, he has never been able to overcome the shadow of his predecessor.

Recently, according to sources from ESPN Portugal, the family of “King of Football” Pele asked Santos Club to hang the number 10 shirt permanently to honor the Brazilian legend. It is known that Pele’s relatives will send an official request after his funeral is over and Santos will listen to this request seriously.

ESPN also said that it is likely that this wish of the Pele family will be approved because hanging the number 10 shirt is the least that Santos can do, in gratitude for his great contributions to the club.

Currently, Santos is also very active in gratitude to Pele. His visitation will take place on Monday (January 2), at Santos’ home ground of Vila Belmiro. It is known that Pele’s body will be taken from Albert Einstein hospital to this stadium and Santos will be open to the public so that fans can say goodbye to the former player for the last time.

Pele’s real name is Edson Arantes do Nascimento. He is known as the greatest player in football history. To date, Pele is still the only player to have 3 World Cup titles (1958, 1962 and 1970) and holds the world record as the all-time leading goalscorer, with 1,279 goals behind. 1,363 appearances.

Liverpool’s takeover has comes to an end!

The future of Liverpool is not clear. The team hasn’t been doing well on the field, and FSG’s decision to sell the club has started a new conversation among fans, who don’t know what will happen to their team. James Pearce, a reporter for Liverpool FC for The Athletics, talks about a new era on Merseyside.

The future of Liverpool is not clear. The team hasn’t been doing well on the field, and FSG’s decision to sell the club has started a new conversation among fans, who don’t know what will happen to their team. James Pearce, a reporter for Liverpool FC for The Athletics, talks about a new era on Merseyside.

The Reds’ 3-1 win over Aston Villa on Christmas Day was another step toward fixing their rough season.

Just a few hours after the game at Villa Park, Fabrizio Romano confirmed with a “here we go” that PSV Eindhoven and Liverpool had reached a deal to sell Cody Gakpo. Liverpool’s win over Villa and the transfer gave them more reason to be optimistic about the rest of their troubled season.

Last season, Jurgen Klopp’s team was just a few points away from an unprecedented quadruple, but now they are 15 points behind league leaders Arsenal and in a fight to get into the Champions League.

Liverpool’s plans off the field are clear because they signed Gakpo, have strong ties to Jude Bellingham and Enzo Fernández, and FSG could leave in the near future. Fenway Sports Groups (FSG) is cutting ties with the Reds because the team needs money and players right away.

This season, their more wealthy rivals have done well, and Liverpool needs financial help to keep up. FSG is not a “cash cow,” so their exit, whether full or partial, is necessary and makes fans wonder about a lot of things.

If Liverpool gets a new owner, will the way they buy players change? Will FSG try to sell the club outright, or will they look for investors instead? Will Jude Bellingham be wearing Red?

With Liverpool’s recent rise in hope, there are still so many questions. James Pearce is often the first person people at Anfield go to for answers. He talked to The Sports Gazette about Liverpool’s future before a busy year on Merseyside in 2023.

Cody Gakpo’s sudden signing suggests that FSG’s position on transfers has changed a little. Because Diogo Jota and Luis Daz were hurt for a long time, they had to pay for reinforcements out of their own money. Liverpool fans will be very happy if they get another great player in January, but they will want a much bigger change from whoever buys into the club.

James said, “We don’t know yet because we don’t know who the owners will be.” When asked if Liverpool’s transfer policy would change with new owners, James said, “We don’t know yet.” “Is it going to be one-figure, a hedge fund, or a group of companies? “Even so, you can’t do much with FFP rules, even though they aren’t enforced very well,” he said.

Since getting new players is Liverpool’s main goal, the idea of investors seems more likely. In the past, when FSG tried to sell the club in 2010, they were always clear that they would only sell part of it. But James told us that based on what he has heard from the people he has talked to, “that’s changed now, and they would think about a full sale.”

It seems more likely that the whole club will be sold, and James thinks that Mike Gordan’s decision to stop doing his usual job at the club is another sign of what’s to come. “I thought it was important that Mike Gordan, President of the Fenway Sports Group, took a step backwards to handle the sale. For me, the fact that he did this is the start of the end for FSG.”

For me, the fact that he did this is the start of the end for FSG.”

So, if everything going on inside the club points to new owners, will FSG be good for the club, and would fans be happy with success by any means necessary? James joked, “I don’t know any Liverpool fans who think it doesn’t matter who buys the team as long as they buy us Mbappe.”

Most Liverpool fans won’t put up with an owner who doesn’t care about the club’s best interests. Still, what owner of a top side does that anymore? Project Big Picture and the European Super League, which FSG helped create, have shown how owners feel about their fans.

“In the past, when FSG made bad decisions at Liverpool, they felt the full force of an angry fan base,” James said. He said, “FSG won’t want all their hard work to be undone by selling the club to the highest bidder.” We don’t know yet, but given FSG’s track record with Liverpool over the last 13 years, we can’t assume anything.

James says that the cost of Liverpool is “as much as £3.5 billion,” based on what he heard from people who know about money. Given the astronomical price tag, the dream of having someone in charge who loves the club is just a pipe dream, given that football is a free market. Fans can only hope for an owner with a lot of money and a good sense of who to bring in.

Liverpool needs players at Anfield to keep up with City, Chelsea, and now Newcastle in terms of money. Klopp can’t wait, and he needs to bring in more players in the next two to three windows to help them get back on track.

James agrees and says, “If they’re serious about getting Jude Bellingham and two other midfielders, they’ll need more than £200 million.” “Their (FSG) current business model doesn’t fit what needs to be done with the team in the next few windows,” he said.

Because of how quickly he became one of the best midfielders in the world when he was only 19, Jude Bellingham has drawn attention from all over the world. Liverpool has been linked to the Borussia Dortmund player a lot, and he would definitely solve Liverpool’s midfield problem.

James thinks it’s possible to make a deal, but he’s not sure where the money will come from. “Want to come Bellingham? “I think everything points to yes,” he confirmed. The only thing that bothers him is that FSG wants to make a deal. He said, “I don’t see FSG making a deal like that while they’re trying to sell the club.”

“If they want to sign Bellingham, it’s important that this sale uncertainty doesn’t last until 2023 or later,” he said. James also said that he has been told that the next transfer windows for FSG will be “business as usual.” Still, the fact that Liverpool signed Gakpo and there are rumors that they won’t be done making moves in January may suggest otherwise.

At the moment, there is a lot of uncertainty and ambition on the streets of Merseyside. The best thing for Liverpool’s future is to sell the club, but fans will be worried about who will be next in line to lead their team into a new era at Anfield.
