⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[DIA7]

If they decide to sell Haaland, I'm positive they can get a much better player as part of the deal than Abraham. It would be really dangerous for Dortmund to count on Abraham as their 1st attacking option so in that case they'd either have to bring in an additional striker or try to work out a swap deal with another club.

These player swap deals rarely become reality, they are often simply media speculations. If Haaland leaves, it will probably be a straight cash deal.

There was strong news about Chelsea's desire to sign Haaland, in the current summer Mercano, which worried Dortmund fans, who wanted the first-team star to continue for at least another season. But Dortmund already sold Sancho this summer I don't think that they are obliged to sell Haaland.
It's true that Haaland has a release clause in his contract, worth 75 million euros, but it will not be activated until next summer. So he could be available next summer for less money but I don't think that it's going to be a big matter for them.

Chelsea are trying hard to bring in Erling Haaland, in order to get approval from Dortmund, Chelsea offered Tammy Abraham an additional 150 million
euros to Dortmund. Tammy Abraham is not a bad player, but his level is very far compared to Haaland. As you said player swaps rarely come true,
then it is likely that Dortmund will ask for a money deal if they really want to sell Haaland. The fact that Sebastian Kehl as Dortmund sporting director
said Haaland will remain at Dortmund in the 2021-2022 season, this confirms Haaland will not for sell. So it is very unlikely that Chelsea can bring in Haaland.

[cryptofrka]

All depends on whether they can make Haaland sign a new deal with a bigger clause. It would be silly from Dortmund to settle for 75 million next season if they can get let's say 120 million now.

Replacing Haaland is impossible, but Dortmund is a selling club anyway so they are used to this. They will strengthen multiple positions instead of directly replacing him and that will benefit the team.

Regarding Sancho - seems that Dortmund will go for Malen. The price mentioned is around 35 mil euro, which sounds like a really good deal for Dortmund.

5 more years with Messi, Barca secured the future. I told you Messi won't leave.

Yes, it was expected. I made decent money betting he would stay at Barcelona
He's been there since he was 13, he is loved by the fans and settled in the area. The issues that caused him to want to leave have largely been remedied. He has no need of a more lucrative contract, and there is no need for the world's best player to prove himself in another country.

He will likely stay at Barca for the remainder of his career... although there is still the possibility of a 40yo Messi going somewhere like the US afterwards.

He'll sure give he's best again this Season,i was expecting a move to Paris Saint German,i won't lie so the reunion between Neymar and Messi continues...its a wrong prediction from me then.
Five years signed, he'll win the Champions League one of this years.
Congratulations again GOAT.

Official Donnarumma to PSG.

They found the easy way to win.

Be promoted to president of ECA.
Spend infinite money probably violating the FPP.
Having 40 players in the squad.

It's definitely one of the best transfers that PSG have ever made I think. I checked their squad and I saw that they had 8 goalkeepers. But why? Do they really need that many GKs?    I don't know why they are signing too many players. They won't even be able to register them all in the end, right? It's hard to understand PSG's strategy.

The sole aim of professional players is to win trophies right?
Nice move to Paris Saint German Donnarumma.
I'm sure they'll get the League one title this season

Antoine Griezmann should move out off the Spanish La Liga.
Its high time he moves to a new League and plays at he's best form.
Manchester City on the lookout for a replacement for Sergio Aguero.

[leea-1334]

I believe the simple reason was Donnarumma was available on a free transfer, and at his age he can give PSG 10 - 15 year’s of football before they need to find a new keeper, and that’s a wise investment. Furthermore to elaborate his transfer value could easily be $50 - $60 million, hence even if they sell him later on they’ll get amazing returns on this deal hence a wise move in my opinion.

I think this is the most likely option too. IIRC even 2 years ago when United were looking for a replacement for deGea, they were also looking at this guy but his price was still too high at the time. It is all about long term cost for a goalie and I feel like this was simple math for PSG who want to refresh the squad.

[Iranus]

 think so too. Griezmann was a very talented player. But he could not adapt himself to Barcelona's playing strategy. He should go to a new league. My idea is that the Bundesliga is suitable for him. Premier League teams play very fast, it is difficult to adapt new players here.

[acquafredda]

I would like to focus to AC Milan huge and unforgivable mistake about Donnarumma's contract. It should have been a huge priority to renew his contract at almost any given condition. Good for him and for PSG to start afresh but Milan could have tried to keep him playing in Italy.
When AC Milan started renewing all the other contracts but Donnarumma's one, it was clear to new European champion that his time in Milan was over.

What a coincidence in the Euro 2020. When Insigne, Verratti and Immobile play together in Azzurri. They all were grown up in Pescara.

You are right.
Things change in ten years. In 2011, Zdenek Zeman decided to entrust the hopes of Pescara to three young boys. Ciro Immobile, Lorenzo Insigne and Marco Verratti. One center forward, one left wing and one advanced midfielder. That was one of the most beautiful rides of an Italian Serie B team towards Serie A.

Fast forward ten years and they became European Champions, probably thanks to Zeman!

[Swordsoffreedom]

Paris Saint German are making great move this summer so far. Until now all these are lovely additions but if this sighings means them to win the UCL, they are making huge mistake. They will still find it difficult to win Champions League Trophy, just my thought.

Why would it be difficult for PSG to win the Champions League trophy? La Liga teams are not in a position to compete fiercely for the Champions League. They have become relatively weak. PSG, on the other hand, are building a very strong and stable team for next season. Their forwards are stronger than the previous season. This season they want to strengthen the defense. With Ramos and Donnarumma joining the team, they have become stronger. They have the ability to win the Champions League title.

[Harkorede]

Antoine Griezmann should move out off the Spanish La Liga.
Its high time he moves to a new League and plays at he's best form.
Manchester City on the lookout for a replacement for Sergio Aguero.

Moving to Man City under Guardiola would almost be another grave mistake, it's going to Barcelona 2.0 all over again, Greizmann doesn't fit into such style as obviously witnesed in camp nou. He's better of at Man Utd, or a return Atletico might be better, imo.

I still dont understand why PSG even signed donnarumma this season.Kaylor Navas was one of the best players in the entire team of PSG some amazing saves this year.I know he is starting to get old,but still i think this is really early to get a new goalkeeper.But still Donnarumma is still very young and this is still a big signing from them

Cause they want to flex over everyone else.
Simple like this. Nothing more.

They have right now 9 Goalkeepers in the squad.

Over the last few years, I've seen PSG let go brilliant goalkeepers over the last few years, these are terrible transfer policies. Areola who also is a fantastic keeper is already keen on a move to West Ham, and Keylor Navas would also surely not be comfortable playing as the 2nd choice and that's why he left Real Madrid initially.

[Welsh]

Tammy Abraham would be much more suited to a team like West Ham than Dortmund. I believe Dortmund probably feel the same way about the proposed deal. Its much more likely that Chelsea would need to offer around the valuation of Haaland i.e 170 million or the equivalent with a player that suits Dortmund, and cash to make up the amount.

Personally, I don't see Haaland moving this season, and it'll depend on how he performs this season whether or not he will get a move next season. Real Madrid, PSG, and Barcelona are probably the only clubs that could realistically afford him, and that's assuming the Spanish teams can sort out their wage issues, which looking at Barcelona offloading players just to resign Messi at a pay cut, probably isn't going to happen for a long time. Not until quite a few more of their players are off the books.

Paris Saint German are making great move this summer so far. Until now all these are lovely additions but if this sighings means them to win the UCL, they are making huge mistake. They will still find it difficult to win Champions League Trophy, just my thought.

They arguably have the best team in the world on a individual basis. Why wouldn't they be buying players to win the Champions League? They already have success within France, the only thing that's escaping them right now is the Champions League, which to further their chances of winning it, they probably need to keep investing, and improving their team like any other.

[Ebede]

I have been wondering how the Gunners are actually doing during these Transfer market,i want to see a more Challenging side that will fight down to the end of the season.
Arsenal haven't been in the Champions League for a While now, hopefully they get good players.

[kassex]

Real Madrid midfielder Braim Diaz will continue to play for Milan.

According to Goal.com, the Spaniard will be on loan for two seasons.

Milan will pay him the full salary and will not receive the player's ransom rights. The estimated costs of the club are estimated at 3 million euros.

Diaz is expected to take number 10. The deal must be announced by the end of the week.

Dortmund has scored dozen of talented players who are contested by other team in Europe at the moment. Haland has so far been reported to have attracted the interest of many team who gave Dortmund the opportunity to profit from the sale. However, it is possible that Haland will be retained considering the season will start in mid-August while there is no suitable replacement for Haland's position. Haland will be for sale, but not for now I guess.

[DIA7]

Leicester City have announced the signing of left back Ryan Bertrand on a free two-year deal following his departure from Southampton.
Bertrand spent 7 seasons with Southampton, during which he participated in 240 matches.

A new development regarding the future of Kieran Trippier.
He is still receiving great interest from Manchester United during the current summer. According to The Sun, Trippier wants to return to the Premier League, and will inform Atletico Madrid officials of his desire to leave this summer.
Atletico Madrid had previously rejected an offer from Manchester United this summer regarding Trippier, but the situation has now changed following the request of the English player. And the British newspaper pointed out that Atletico Madrid is ready to give up Kieran Trippier, if he receives an offer of 30 million pounds.

[TheGreatPython]

De Paul going to Atletico for only 35 euros! It is a coup and a terrifying gift for Simeone, who loves this type of fighting player.

I just saw De Paul, how he make Argentina to be champions for this year. I don't know why The other clubs like Manchester City, PSG and real Madrid didn't move fast to get his service. I congratulate Atletico they going to get big profit, who knows until next year the price could be 3x.

I do not think that De Paul went for cheap, those type of clubs can't request like 100 million type of prices, that is just not possible for Udinese. At the end of the day there is just facts of life that smaller clubs can't request a lot of money. However De Paul wouldn't have worth THAT much higher neither, he worths around 50-60 even at the best of clubs, and that is why I do not think that this was as cheap as you make it out to be.

So long story short this was a good deal for Simone and ATM and that's about it, I doubt that they could repeat but they are trying their best to get as many good players as they can with the money they made in order to keep the streak alive and be top 3 next season guaranteed, sure Barcelona and real could end up playing a lot better next season and end up one and two but at least ATM will be three if they keep this up.

Raphael Varane and manchaster united have agreed on a transfer - if real madrid still wants to get a transfer fee for the player, they have to sell him already this summer.
in one year he would then be move without a transfer fee...

Raphaël Varane to Manchester United has been the subject of speculations for months. Reports now indicate that the Real Madrid defender could soon be on his way to England. According to a report by RMC Sport reporter Mohamed Bouhafsi, the Red Devils have agreed personal terms with the 28-year-old. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has also tweeted that there has been contact between Man United and the Varane camp.

I've heard that Chelsea are preparing to offer Tammy Abraham as part of the deal to sign Erling Haaland. Dortmund have been seeming really decisive about not selling him this summer. They must get a really good offer to think about it. And giving Abraham also doesn't make the offer more attracting I think.

Halaand and Abraham swap deal would make sense for both team, Abraham is a proven striker, Dotmund would be getting a good deal considering what Abraham has achieved in the EPL, his goal history is very good and Haaland on the other hand would be a great addition to the Chelsea team, they needed that killer striker and Halaand is the man. Great deal if it goes through. With Giroud leaving Chelsea for Ac Milan Chelsea will definitely go all way to make the Haaland switch a priority.

Yeah, he is a decent striker though. Especially his time at Aston Villa was really great for him. He scored 25 goals in the Championship in that season. After he's come to Chelsea, he hasn't been doing bad also. He's been better than Werner at Chelsea at least. But I don't know whether Dortmund would say OK to this deal now. I guess we will learn about it soon.
