⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Igebotz]

So, the transfer window started today and the clubs are free to start negotiations with all the players whose contracts are expiring this summer. The list is huge and I can't remember a period when more really good players were available on free transfers.

Some of the players available are Mbappe, Pogba, Dybala, Kessie, Rudiger, Insigne, Brozović, Dembele, Zakaria, Lacazette, Christensen - that's more than 500 million euros worth of players that can change clubs without a transfer fee.

It's really going to be interesting, I hope Liverpool gets some bargains during this month.

Toronto FC has offered Insigne a multi-million dollar deal with 5-year contracts. It's only a matter of time before the deal is finalized.

It hurts me to see our two important defenders on this list; they love and want to play for our club; why is the contract extension taking so long? Rudi and Christiansen are both deserving of a raise. I'm disappointed because my club can't afford to lose these players.

Pogba and Dybala are always in the news, but they never seem to find a new club. I'm hoping to see one of them in a different jersey next season.

If PSG is being prudent, this is the optimum time to approach Real Madrid with a bid for Mbappe now that his still valuable before he walks to Real Madrid free in the summer when his contract expires.

I dont know why would Insigne go for Toronto he can still do a lot in europe and had a few offers from some big european clubs. If he leaves for Toronto that means he just want to earn some more money before he retires from football. Everyone who goes to MLS just goes for the money.

What juventus did was the right thing to keep morata,

Morata is on Loan until June and Juventus can buy him for 35 more Milions to Atletico.

Cleary Juventus told to the player he will not be bought so everyone is searching for a solution but if Juventus can't find a player over him then Alvaro will stay until the end of the season and will go back to Atletico.

If Morata leaves the most probable at this point can be Icardi on load for 6 months.

He has been in Seria A since 2006 when he was only 15 years if I recall well, so perhaps he needs a change of environment. Napoli were giving him an offer with reduced wages, and it looks like the Toronto deal is much sweeter to him.

I have heard some rumours like Real Madrid have already prepared a contract offer for Kylian Mbappe.

There are too many rumors about him. Some stated that Mbappe has reached a personal agreement with Real Madrid. While others stated that Mbappe prefers to focus on helping PSG to win UCL and Ligue 1. So, he didn't want to think much about his decision to leave or stay in the next season. I don't know which one is true, but Mbappe should already consider moving to Real Madrid since it is his dream.

It seems like they are planning to offer €21m yearly for him and it is going to be a 6-year contract. And the signing-on fee is speculated to be around €40m. If this rumour turns out to be true, I think that it would be a really cheap deal for Real Madrid. Because I was expecting the signing-on fee and the yearly wage much higher than this level.

Whether it is cheap or expensive, it isn't a fixed amount. It can increase along with the progress of Mbappe performance in Real Madrid. If Real Madrid management is satisfied with his performance then, the amount of money can be increased. Anyway, it is still a rumor, I think the final amount of money got by him can be changed.

In the end, Mbappe is one of the greatest players already.

Mbappe's salary today is 22 million euros and some time ago PSG offered a contract extension with 45 million euros in salary and this was rejected by Mbappe.
Of course Real Madrid must be able to provide good service if they really want that and I think Mbappe's salary could be more than that because he is indeed one of the most successful wonderkids at the moment and indeed the salary could be commensurate with the performance he offers.

Real Madrid won't pay €21m yearly, it should be bigger than that number. I suspect you got a news from untrusted source, so just don't believe it. For a super player like Mbappe, Real Madrid won't pay a cheap salary. If you doubt it, just compare the salaries of the current Real Madrid players. Then, Mbappe must have the biggest salary in Real Madrid squad. Don't worry, if Real Madrid doesn't want pay more, he may reject Real Madrid offer.

In fact, maybe he gave the correct numbers, but only for the base salary. The salary of football players depends on the sporting achievements of the club and can vary greatly when the agreed conditions are reached. As elsewhere, a lot depends on bonuses, this is quite logical, since the club insures itself against the fact that a player receiving a huge salary had no motivation to play and would just sit on the bench

Morata going back to ATM can save them this season since their scoring ability is in its lowest.. Juve will try to find a better scorer. Icardi isn't finding the right time to show his ability to PSG, so moving out to Juve might be a good option and this won't happen unless Morata moves to Barca... Barca is already making offers to several players from City and I heard about Cavani from ManU.. They have enough money to sign many players?

I doubt they are in the financial situation to sign many players. They are also reworking their stadium for a billion or so very soon. A few years ago they would have never considered signing Morata. He isn't really a bad player, but at Barca's best times he wouldn't have been the right calibre of player.

Maybe you are correct. But I guess Real Madrid will give a bigger number for his salary, probably the highest salary among Real Madrid players. When Mbappe arrives in Bernabeu, I am sure he will become the new icon for Real Madrid. Having the biggest salary and being a new icon there, should be a great motivation for him to play with his best. He must be aware that Real Madrid won't pay him for his big-name only, but how Mbappe can contribute to the success of the club.

I think not any problem about how much salary need pay by Real Madrid trough Mbappe as free transfer player, Madrid have much money where transfer amount most higher than salary to pay for Mbappe. I think need agreement first will Mbappe want to Real Madrid or not and how about his contract with PSG will extended or not, how ever PSG will try again to get agreement with Mbappe and brave to make him become most highest player salary in the world than Messi or Ronaldo.

I don't hope too much for Mbappe to Madrid and I hope also they cancel those offers, better to keep the money for Haaland because I don't see any special with Mbappe, he just looks like the rising actor in Paris with his partner Neymar. About €21m yearly, I heard that news on Twitter also, but like you said before it's just rumors from not the official. it's not much money for them. but, Spain has the financial rules limited, Madrid must watch the limit.

Raphinha transfer claim made as Liverpool told to seal January switch
Glen Johnson has claimed Liverpool should sign Raphinha to deputise for Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, both forwards depart for the African Cup of Nations this month leaving Jurgen Klopp short of attacking options.

Former Reds defender Johnson is concerned the likes of Takumi Minamino and Divock Origi are not up to the task of replacing the Reds' prolific duo.

Liverpool are rumoured to be interested in signing Leeds star Raphinha, the 25-year-old has scored eight goals this season despite Marcelo Bielsa's side struggling near the bottom of the table.

Johnson believes signing the Brazilian international is the logical move to strengthen the Reds’ attack in the absence of Salah and Mane.

Rapinha is a very valuable player for Leeds.  Rapinha is playing very well as Leeds United try to get out of the relegation zone.  They need it.  Still, I think if Liverpool sign him, he will be successful in the reds as well.

  There is also the possibility of Bayern Munich.  A week ago, Bayern Munich was also said to be ready to pay 50M Euros for Rapinha.  If Rapinha leaves the English team, his new team could be at Bayern.  Although the odds are high, it looks like Raphinha will choose whichever team he wants to go to.

It is a must. Personal agreement must be reached first before discussing the amount of his salary. Both Real Madrid and PSG managements also need to agree with Mbappe transfer. I know it is not as easy as we think. Although Mbappe has agreed to move, PSG may have many reasons to make him stay. Let's see how professional Mbappe and PSG management in handling Mbappe transfer.

I don't hope too much for Mbappe to Madrid and I hope also they cancel those offers, better to keep the money for Haaland because I don't see any special with Mbappe

I am not a Haaland fan, but I agree if Haaland is a bit better than Mbappe. Haaland is a real fighter in the attacking line, he really makes opponents' defenders be afraid. If Haaland is interested to join Real Madrid, forgetting Mbappe isn't a too bad idea. However, signing Haaland will be difficult. There are too many clubs that want to sign him.

Barcelona are trying to convince their winger Ousmane Dembele to play for them for more years. But it looks like Dembele has turned down their last contract offer. His contract is running out next summer. And I would like to indicate my opinion about him also. I think that he has been one of the biggest disappointments for Barcelona. They had big hopes about him when they signed him by pouring a lot of money like €135m. But now, his value is just €30m. His performance so far has been very bad here. Barcelona had better sell him after Ferran Torres' joining the team. But they aren't going to be able to get any transfer fee unfortunately. This is going to be one of their worst deals ever.

The biggest upset of the season for Barcelona. The contract of Ousmane Dembélé at FC Barcelona will not be renewed. Having spent Barca's money on hospital bills, is this how he attempts to pay them back? Regardless, his demands and decision stand. Maybe a better option awaits. Negotiations have begun between PSG and the agent of Ousmane Dembélé. It will be interesting to see how he does elsewhere.

Ousmane Dembele's current annual wage is around €18m. And as I have heard, he demands more than €40m yearly to stay. This is really an insane amount of demand honestly. Even Mohamed Salah doesn't make that much money now even though he is considered one of the best players in the world now and maybe even the best. Dembele didn't even play properly. I assume that Barcelona will let him go which would be the most profitable choice for them.

Raphinha is a very good player, but I don't think he'll move to Liverpool cause at the moment he is going to get the idea that the reds are only interested in his signature because two of their attacking players are both going to the African Cup of Nations to represent their national team. What of when they are back? That'll automatically mean that Raphinha would get very little game time once Salah and Mane return, in my opinion, that's enough reason for the player to turn down this move. And then again, it seems Bayern Munich are also interested in his signature, it's much better if he joins the German giants, he'll prolly do better there than in Liverpool.

Dembele have announce to public he not get agreement with Barcelona keep extended his contract and become free transfer player exactly he ask higher salary and Barcelona faced difficulty to pay him. Now depend with Barcelona to sell Dembele during have chance to get money or waiting until next window transfer and Dembele become free transfer player. I see have second option for Barcelona to get Dembele as free transfer player because he still need Dembele service right now.

Transfer rumours:

Newcastle have contacted Arsenal with a proposal to loan unsettled Gabon striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, 32, for the rest of the season, with a view to a £20m summer move. Very interesting offer. Do you think Arsenal will agree?
Newcastle officials are hopeful that a deal for Atletico Madrid and England full-back Kieran Trippier, 31, will be completed in the next few days. Very good deal for Newcastle if the deal is confirmed.
Everton have been offered Barcelona and Brazil playmaker Philippe Coutinho, 29, with manager Rafael Benitez interested in adding Rangers and Scotland right-back Nathan Patterson, 20, to his squad. Do you think that this proposal will come true?
Borussia Dortmund and Norway striker Erling Braut Haaland, 21, has told fans that he will play in Spain in the future. So, there are only 2 options left, Real or Barcelona?
Paris St-Germain and Argentina striker Mauro Icardi, 28, is expected to join Juventus on a six-month loan deal, with the option to buy. So Wanda gave her blessing and decided to return to Italy with her husband?
