Considering player contracts and updates

I need to be cautious about not asserting any unknown updates beyond October 2024. It’s important to frame things as analysis based on general trends. I can ask the user if they prefer a quick summary or more details. I'll keep it concise and suggest a breakdown that includes a headline summary, feasibility odds, and contract notes. For instance, Lewandowski's contract with Barca goes until 2026, and both Alaba and Rüdiger have contracts expiring in summer 2026. Clarifying the "next summer" reference in the article is also key.Assessing contract situations for players

With the current date of December 27, 2025, it looks like next summer refers to 2026. Players would be in their final contract year, and under the Bosman rule, they can sign pre-contracts starting in January 2026 if their contracts expiring in June 2026. By summer 2026, they could become free agents. However, I need to be cautious since I'm unsure about specific end dates. Lewandowski might get a final payday in Saudi; Rüdiger has performed strongly, potentially leading Real to extend his contract. Alaba's injury history may affect his situation as well.Analyzing potential Saudi transfers

I’m considering including potential Saudi clubs needing center-backs: Al Hilal may target Koulibaly, Al Nassr has Laporte, Al Ittihad is looking at Hegazy, and Al Ahli has Ibanez and Demiral. For strikers, Al Hilal has Mitrovic and Al Nassr has Cristiano, while Al Ahli signed Allan Saint-Maximin. I should keep it concise and reference “Mundo Deportivo” for reliability, though it’s rumor-level info. I can offer a rumor digest or assess transfer probabilities based on contracts and player situations, being careful to keep numbers approximate for wages.
