⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Karartma1]

Aston Villa has a great window of opportunity to sign new players, in any case, Grealish gave his best years to his native club and now both the club and the player himself can now deal with their future development.

Let's be real. Aston Villa can get the money from Grealish transfer but who will they sign? It's clearly not an attraction zone. High profile players don't want to play there. They know they can't get any cups with Villa. You can only get unambitious Tier B players with money. I don't think Aston Villa have a plan to be in Top 6 teams in Premier League anyway. They will have another season ending in 10th-14th spots.

They'll just get the money and rethink their financials. They don't need to replace him, they can live without him as they're not a top tier team. Every year they survive in EPL, never showing much consistency. Presidency's happy to have made a huge profit that will get internalized. As you were saying I highly doubt they'll find a decent substitute for Grealish.

Harry Kane did not show for training today from the spurs - man city is considered the only club that would pay the required €150 million transfer fee

According to unanimous reports in the English media, Harry Kane (28) did not show up at Tottenham Hotspur's training session on Monday. The captain apparently assumes a "gentlemen's agreement" with the club, according to which he may change despite a contract until 2024. Until now, only ManCity was considered a serious candidate to pay the price around 150 million euros.

will Thilo Kehrer (psg) return to the german bundesliga?

Bayer 04 Leverkusen is still in need of defensive personnel and would like to kill two birds with one stone - a player for the defensive center and the right side. The Leverkusen club is focusing on two professionals for this purpose: DFB international Thilo Kehrer (24, contract until 2023), whose future at PSG doesn't look too bright, and Ecuadorian international Piero Hincapié (19, AC Talleres, contract until 2025).

Real Madrid may sell midfielder Martin Edegaard.

According to ABC, the Madrid club will consider a proposal for the Norwegian of 50 million euros and will try to include a buyback option in the agreement.

“Real” is ready to sell the player to “Arsenal” for this amount, but there are no offers to transfer Edegaard either from the Londoners or from any other club.

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti is counting on the midfielder and told him about it. Club sources say Odegaard is leaning towards staying at Real Madrid.

Edegor spent the second part of the last season at Arsenal on loan. In 14 games in the Premier League, he scored a goal and made two assists.

I think better to put the table like this to have a better look:

Indeed top 5 leagues shared the most expenditures with a huge difference between them and the others and even between them. EPL is like spending twice as much as the next in line. Bundesliga, Serie A and Ligue 1 spending 2x comparing to La Liga.
That simply reflects the economical situation of each club/country. We all know how much Barcelona and Real Madrid suffering. PSG is boosting Ligue 1 statistics and EPL contracts are ridiculously hyped for some players.

Three things that shows up to me. First of all Eredevise is almost always a good place to get young players and they always make a profit in transfers and that is why I never understood why they are not bigger, like why don't we see Dutch teams at the top of European competition at all times, after a while of making these kinds of profits isn't it more expected them to use it and buy super famous players and pay them big amounts and win many cups with that high paying way and eventually they will be known to be good so they will make more profit as well? Germany is still Germans, barely any profit/loss, they are taking care of it. Premier league lost so much money that it is obvious how unfair it is when it comes to premier league finance vs other leagues finances.

FC Bayern is still trying to sell its midfielder Corentin Tolisso. It looks like not only Juventus Turin are interested in signing him, but also West Ham United. [...]

Juventus trying to sign a midfielder in every single transfer window...at this point, they have to be doing this for the memes, right?

Harry Kane should have supported Man City if he wanted to join them, so Tottenham will also be under pressure to accept an offer from Man City. The possible reason for Harry Kane why he is not attending training at Tottenham is because he wants to show his support for Man City and he started to feel worried that Man city will withdraw their offer and changing their target to Jack Grealish.

I think, Eredivisie isn't famouse or interesting because it's very rare for a team from this league to reach the UCL final. Then, star players from Eredivisie tend to be more famous after they leave their team and join one of the EPL, Serie-A or La-Liga. So, even though they could bring a lot of talented and young players, the Eredivisie were not in interest, as most of their stars had already left. A lot of fans need entertaint in football, playing style and strategy, Eredivisie, not meet these for now. Ajax most known team  from Eredivisie currently don't have star players like Zlatan or Huntelaar. Even they are have a talented players like them, then after few season, that players will go out to the leage i mentioned before. thats why eredivisie not famous IMO.

What doyou mean his support for City?  It’s more like he’s showing his discontent for the Spurs and how Daniel Levy is holding him like somewhat a hostage in the club.  But what Kane should’ve really done was not sign that new contract with the Spurs and left his options open.  

I blame the agent.  He prolly talked Kane into signing the contract...

That's probably why Bayern is trying or spreading rumours about the possible interest of Juventus.
Seriously though, if Juventus can't find the right (?) player for their midfield, I guess they can sign as much as they can afford...

Lionel Messi is on the closing on renewing his contract with Barcelona this summer. After his contract with Barcelona expired last June.
According to the Spanish newspaper "Sport", Barcelona reached in the last hours a final agreement with Messi regarding the renewal until 2026.
Sources close to Barcelona indicated that there were some marginal matters that were pending in the club's agreement with Messi, but they were resolved in the last hours.
The sources confirmed that Messi had already agreed to reduce his salary in the new contract by 50%.

The Spanish newspaper said that the official announcement of the renewal does not lack only an agreement on reducing salaries in Barcelona. And "Sport" added that Messi's contract renewal will become official in the next few days.

Odegaard is a talented midfielder. He's also much younger. He is only 22 years old. Instead of selling Odegaard, I think it would be better for Real Madrid to hire a league that can improve itself like the Bundesliga. Still, Real Madrid may need the money and €50M would count as a very good amount. I don't think there will be a team that can give that money to Odegaard, who didn't have a very good season at Arsenal last year.

If a player is interested in the offer of another club that wants to sign him but his current club doesn't want to let him go or set a higher price for him then the player must show an intention to leave so that the offers made by other clubs can get good results and his desire to join that club can be successful.

I think, what Harry Kane did by not showing up at training is to show an attitude of wanting to leave Tottenham and this is a signal he wants to show to Man City that he also wants to join Man City.

Didn't have a good season? I disagree!

This loan to Arsenal wasn't "very good" for Real Madrid... because in my opinion, the boy showed that during this loan period he was able to have a great season and impressed at Arsenal. Despite the amount that Real Madrid stipulated for his sale, I believe that Odegaard will return to Arsenal.
I would also like to see him at Real Madrid this season, that's of course if he really gets more time on the field and can play as he deserves, but I think that's tricky to happen.

Dutch teams are doing the Dortmund strategy, training and making good players then selling them with profits. Unless they got many extraordinary players that fails to sell at once they will struggle competing in European leagues.
For EPL, teams there earn a lot from broadcasting, many have rich owners so it is normal to see them spending way more than making the money in

Some sources claim that Manchester City's pursue for Kane will most likely end if they are able to sign Jack Grealish. But I don't see the relation between these two situations. Kane is a CF but Grealish is a winger (LW). I guess they meant that Manchester City wouldn't like to spend a great deal of money again. But Manchester City are a very rich club as we all know. I've no doubt that they have an amount which can be enough for signing them both.

yes, if odegaard pushes on real madrid I don't think he will get enough playing opportunities because the number of midfielders in real madrid now is still very large and they have quite famous names like kroos, modric and casemiro besides that there are also isco and lucas vazques . and these names cannot be underestimated because their performance was quite good last season.
if odegaard pushes on real madarid i think he will be difficult to compete with the names above.

As you were saying I highly doubt they'll find a decent substitute for Grealish.

They do not have to replace him directly, they can replace him with 3-4 different players. I remember from "moneyball" movie (and that was based on real life) they had a great hitter, but he got bought by some other team, so they were down a great player but only one, what did they do? They replaced 3 worse players with 3 better players to cover the difference.

So let's assume Grealish goes, and they get 100 million for it, they could spend 25 million for 4 different players and improve 4 different places, 1 will be place Grealish played so that will be worse but 3 others will be better than what they have now, so that 3 total getting better could "hopefully" will cover that one worse.

According to the source, Everton and Arsenal are monitoring Schalke's young forward Matthew Hoppe (20) now. I feel like Hoppe really has a good potential. He got 6 goals in 22 games in the Bundesliga in the last season. As long as he continues to improve himself, I believe that he will be much more deadly on finishing. Arsenal and Everton both would make a good use of a promising CF.

Arsenal has been doing well in this recent transfer season, but I don't think that Hoppe is the type of striker Arsenal should go for, no doubt he's a good player but Arsenal needs a striker with much more experience, Everton will be a good place for him because I don't see him benching either Lacazette or Auba, Arsenal would have drawn the attention of top quality players if they had qualified for ucl
