Indian Super League [ISL] is growing rapidly day by day, season by season. Many exciting foreigners are playing in the league in the last few seasons. Now ISL is catching the eyes of big names as well.
Yesterday some reports suggested that Inter Milan midfielder Radja Nainggolan was offered to an ISL club. But he was asking for a salary of around 5 million Euros (approx. Rs 42.5 crore). Inter Milan representatives were told, “No Indian club is in a financial position to pay such an amount.”
Day 5
A representative for Inter Milan medio Radja Nainggolan offered the ‘world class’– exact words – player to ISL club. His salary expectations were 5 million Euros (approx. Rs 42.5 crore). He was told, “No Indian club is in a financial position to pay such an amount.”
FSDL has set some financial rules for all the ISL clubs. All the clubs have to respect the rules. The violation of rules can lead to serious punishment.
According to the rules of ISL, clubs cannot spend more than Rs. 16.5 crores on player salaries. The salary cap does not include the transfer fees of the players. Loan wages are included in this cap though.
There are mixed reactions to this rule. The rules are made to balance up between the squad. This salary cap ensures no club will have an advantage by spending more than its rivals. But this rule restricts ISL from attracting a player beyond a certain profile.
ISL is now one of the top leagues in Asia. The topper of the league gets the chance to play in AFC Champions League. To compete with Chinese and other top teams in Asia ISL should re-think these rules as the ISL clubs are falling behind their Asian counterparts in signing world-class players just because of this salary cap.

The full 23-race Formula 1 season calendar for 2021 has been revealed!
Finally some good news for Formula 1 fans after the dreadful year of 2020. F1 could arrange only 13 of the planned 17 races of the 2020 season and 12 of them happened without fans which led to a massive loss.
The season is expected to start in Australia on March 21. But the calendar will not include the much-anticipated and hyped inaugural race in Vietnam.
The British Grand Prix will be held on July 18 next year to avoid a clash with the Wimbledon men’s singles final and football’s Euro 2020 final at Wembley. The intended round in Hanoi is off due to political complications. Police have arrested Hanoi’s People’s Committee chairman Nguyen Duc Chung for the alleged appropriation of ‘documents containing state secrets’.
That vacancy is expected to be filled with a race at Imola or Istanbul. Portimao, in the Algarve, is an alternative, but it is doubtful whether they have the infrastructure to accommodate a GP with a full quota of fans.
An F1 spokesman said: ‘We will not comment on the provisional calendar until it is made public and confirmed.’

Formula 1 reported a $115 million loss this quarter due to races without fans. The loss was for a three-month period which ended on September 30 despite record quarterly revenues of $597 million.
The Bundesliga is the top tier of professional football in Germany and is one of the biggest leagues in the world. While they say that there is no small team in Germany, the modern game is heavily influenced by the financial aspect as well.
Keeping that in mind, here are the top ten most valuable teams in the Bundesliga.
10. Schalke 04 (€171.55 million)

Despite their dismal performance in 2020, Schalke are placed tenth in terms of the most valuable team in Bundesliga by squad value. Their most valuable asset in these trying times is the 20-year-old centre back Ozan Kabak at €29 million.
9. Eintracht Frankfurt (€184.9 million)
They progressed deep into the Europa League a couple of years ago, but have been absent from continental football since. Frankfurt are currently 11th in the table with 10 points from 7 games. Filip Kostic, at €32 million is the highest valued player in their squad.
8. Vfl Wolfsburg (€209.25 million)
Wolfsburg narrowly missed out on qualifying for the Europa League qualification this season but will be hoping for better results this time. Their most valuable player is Dutch striker Wout Weghorst at €30 million.
7. TSG Hoffenheim (€224.19 million)
Hoffenheim is an extremely small village in Germany, but have a pretty big football club now. They were the first team to beat Bayern Munich in 2020, achieving something that many top clubs in Europe could not. Striker Andrej Kramaric is the biggest star at the club and is valued at €27 million.
6. Hertha Berlin (€234.64 million)
Despite being valued at about four times that of their city rivals Union Berlin, Hertha find themselves placed 12th in the table with 7 points from as many games. Their highest valued player is Matteo Guendouzi, on loan from Arsenal. However, Matheus Cunha is the most valuable permanent Hertha Berlin player at €22 million.
5. Borussia Mönchengladbach (€313.43 million)
The Foals managed to make it to the Champions League this season and currently sit at the top of Group B on the back of a 6-0 spanking of Shakhtar Donetsk. Denis Zakaria is the most valuable Gladbach player at €40 million, followed by Marcus Thuram and Nico Elvedi at €32 million each.
4. Bayer Leverkusen (€323.45 million)

Despite losing two of their most prized assets in Kai Havertz and Kevin Volland this summer, Leverkusen are amongst the biggest clubs in the country. Winger Moussa Diaby is currently their most valuable player at €32 million.
3. RB Leipzig (€514.58 million)
Despite being around for only 11 years, RB Leipzig have forced their way into the title picture of the Bundesliga and have successfully stretched the ‘Big 4’ of the Bundesliga to the ‘Big 5’. Julian Naagelsmann’s highest-valued player is Dayot Upamecano at €60 million.
2. Borussia Dortmund (€587.25 million)
Dortmund always seem destined to finish behind Bayern Munich in every single competition and can be called the nice guys of the game. Despite having a plethora of exciting young talent at their disposal, Dortmund have not managed to get the most out of them and are currently third after losing Der Klassiker 3-2.
Their most valuable asset, to nobody’s surprise, is Jadon Sancho at €117 million while Erling Haaland follows the Englishman at €80 million.
1. Bayern Munich (€875.85 million)
The gulf between Bayern and the rest of the Bundesliga is accurately shown by the market value of the Bavarian squad. The treble winners are once again at the top of the Bundesliga and are currently the biggest team not only in the Bundesliga but in the continent.
Hansi Flick’s most valuable asset is Serge Gnabry at €90 million and is followed by Joshua Kimmich at €85 million.
The workload has been pouring in for Liverpool’s medical team as Trent Alexander-Arnold picked up an injury in Liverpool’s match against Manchester City at the Etihad.
After making a recovery sprint at the hour mark, Trent Alexander-Arnold simply sat down on the pitch, feeling his calf. He was not challenged by any player of the opposition team and didn’t collide into a fellow teammate either.
The 22-year-old could not carry on any further and had to be replaced by James Milner as Liverpool played out a 1-1 draw with their rivals.
Jurgen Klopp’s Injury Crisis
Liverpool’s untouchable backline has been depleted further after Alexander-Arnold was injured in their recent fixture. With Van Dijk already supposed to be out for the rest of the campaign, Jurgen Klopp has a crisis on his hands in terms of the fitness of his players.
Thiago, Naby Keita and Fabinho are among the other players who are injured at the club.
The international break will allow the right-back to rest without missing games for his club, while Gareth Southgate will have to turn to the various other options at right-back to play the national fixtures.
It is stipulated that the defender will miss games against Brighton, Wolves and Leicester in the Premier League while also sitting out the CL matches against Atalanta and Ajax.
He could be back in time for Liverpool’s trip to London against Fulham.
Possible Solutions to the Problem
James Milner has the ability to play any outfield position on the pitch. The 34-year-old could surely fill in for Alexander-Arnold for the next five fixtures.
However, Klopp also has the option of playing Neco Williams, the 19-year-old Welshman, who is a natural right-back and has featured for the club in cup ties.
Liverpool’s injury crisis could prevent them from achieving the levels of success that they hit last season, and it will certainly make retaining the Premier League title much more difficult.
However, as Jurgen Klopp has shown time and time again, it is never too late for the Merseyside club to make a stunning comeback.

The global pandemic forces Apple to delay its launches this year. The Cupertino giant already organizes two events earlier and now going to held the third and the last one for 2020 today, 10th November. It is rumored that Apple will showcase its new MacBooks in today’s event.
The 3rd Apple Event is scheduled at 10:00 am PST, in Indian timing it’s 11:30 pm day. Due to the outbreak of coronavirus, you will be able to witness the entire show online through various platforms including Apple’s official website and YouTube. The link is given below for your convenience.
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will be launched soon. But it seems that the folks in Russia at GameGPU have already posted the new game’s performance results. The first video shows Assassin’s Creed Valhalla struggles to stay above 60 frames per second at 4K along with max settings on NVIDIA’s most powerful graphics card.
The GeForce RTX 3090 is priced at $1499 and is a beast among graphic modules. At times, the game drops to 45 fps, which is disappointing considering the fact it is running on such a powerful graphics processor.
In the second video, the game struggles even more on the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti. I mean, come on, the 2080 Ti is one of the best performing graphics cards on the market. But the game still struggles. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla runs on 15 frames per second on the RTX 2080 Ti, which is slower than the RTX 3090.
However, it is worth mentioning that Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is an AMD-optimized game. It means that NVIDIA’s graphics card will have a more challenging time handling the game. Nonetheless, the game doesn’t include a ray-tracing feature, which is still disappointing in many ways.
According to sources, Ubisoft officially said the game would run at 4K and 60 frames per second on the Xbox Series X. The PS5 version, however, will soon be upscaled to 4K and 60 frames per second.
