⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[poldanmig]

I found the picture on social media and it looks like the picture was taken after the match between Liverpool and Arsenal in the Carabao Cup last week, I think the picture should be a warning to Arsenal in protecting Bukayo Saka from Klopp seduction, so far Saka performance at Arsenal has been very good and many big teams are starting to approach Bukayo Saka in order to leave the arsenal, one of those teams is Liverpool, and Klopp has openly said that he really likes the style and speed of the game from Saka.

Saka would be a fantastic transfer for Liverpool. He is versatile, direct, English, has great mentality and he's really mature for his age. He'd give a lot of options to the Liverpool attack.

I don't think Arsenal would listen to anything south of 100 million pounds though, which Liverpool will not pay for sure. He is one of the most interesting young players and their whole new project will be based around players like him.

Bottom line - I would love it to happen but I see no chance of it actually happening.

Bukayo Saka who is now 20 years old can certainly be a long-term project for Liverpool, Saka's impressive performance which is quite consistent with Arsenal makes Liverpool seem ready to spend big money to get Saka, I think the possibility of a Saka transfer could happen considering Arsenal is one of the clubs who are famous like for selling their star players so far, so maybe if there is a big offer that comes of course the arsenal management will release Saka to another club without much consideration.

I think Newcastle are aiming for a short term priority of escaping relegation first that is why they are trying to set  up a formidable team atleast to escape relegation, signing of Keypas Navas from PSG, Trippier is already in the team with addition of three more signings, they will fight relegation tooth and nail, till they escape thereafter I believe will start signing of young players at the end of season luckily the owner of the club is rich, they will be to afford any player who wish to join the club.

Newcastle United new management trying to avoid possible relegation but as they are doing I am feeling this could be fail attempt because right now their first priority is needed some quality players those able to handle team in current situation, but sadly they have no options, so they are bringing some players those are having some good experience but sadly no quality for doing some better things for this team.

Somehow if they were able to fight and survive from relegation then they will try to have some quality team in next season but right now their options are very limited with some tough competition with Watford, Norwich and Burnley all having some better results and Newcastle United is losing ground very badly.

Market cap of 65 M€ Bukayo Saka. I think a transfer offer above this amount has to come for Arsenal to sell him. He's only 20 and plays great for his age. He is seen as one of the stars of the future. It is unreasonable for Arsenal to sell to one of their rivals. Selling to a team from another league will not put them in a difficult situation. However, this football, transfers were made between big teams before, it can be done again.

Barcelona don't have too many players who are valued at insane levels.

True. Only a few players who have value above €40m. (according to https://www.transfermarkt.com/fc-barcelona/kader/verein/131)
1. Pedri €80m
2. Frankie De Jong €70m
3. Ansu Fati €60m
4. Ferran Torres €45m
5. Memphis Depay €45m
6. Ter Stegen €45m
7. Gavi €40m

Haaland's value is about €292m, which means Barcelona needs to sell 5 players on the list above (1-5). I don't think Barcelona wants to lose those players on the list since they are the key players on the Barcelona squad. Some of them are probably the future of Barcelona superstars because they are still young and have great skills. Forcing to sign Haaland will be a stupid decision if Barcelona has to lose them. In my opinion, it will be wise if Barcelona forgets Haaland and look for a cheaper central forward.

Would Haaland like to play beside Mbappe as Real Madrid are likely to sign him too? If he would, then there is no problem left.

I don't think it is a big problem for Haaland. As long as Real Madrid can pay his salary and guarantee him to play regularly, Haaland probably wants to join Real Madrid although he must play together with Mbappe. However, we don't know if Mbappe really joins Real Madrid or not in the next season. I heard a rumor that he may consider extending his contract in PSG.

Fabrizio Romano says that Chelsea are after signing the PSG left-back Layvin Kurzawa this month. But the talks haven't been opened yet. They were planning to sign Lucas Digne but Aston Villa were quicker than them and finished the deal. Now, Chelsea wouldn't like to be slow about this transfer I assume. They should make their offer as soon as possible. And I think that Kurzawa is a decent left-back. He is 29 now and he played for only nine minutes in this season until today. PSG wouldn't make difficulties for Chelsea because of this.

https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1482780232981651457

Chelsea eyeing perisic as well.

but a left back player much more important though with chilwell have to miss the rest of the season with his surgery.
kurzawa could be a perfect addition but i wish players like robin gosens , theo hernandez or the old transfer target tagliafico could be chelsea player as well this january.
not much they can do in this transfer window as chelsea might stacking money for a mega transfer later in august.

Newcastle are aiming to sign the PSG goalkeeper Keylor Navas in this transfer window but PSG don't seem to be keen on selling him now. He has still two more years left on his current contract right now. I know that he is 35 years old but this is not a big problem for a goalkeeper as long as he performs great. And we see that Keylor Navas is still doing a great job at PSG and the team prefer him in the starting eleven more than Donnarumma. Newcastle don't seem to have much chance to sign him now.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10408651/Newcastle-preparing-ambitious-PSG-goalkeeper-Keylor-Navas-making-contact.html

That makes insanely no sense at all. Why would Newcastle want someone who is so old? And why would PSG not want that to happen? I mean even as a goalkeeper, he could give MAYBE 5 more seasons and that's veeery doubtful, which means that PSG should be gleeful to sell him, they already have Donnarumma so why would they want to keep Navas who is 35 years old when they already have (to my opinion) a better 22 year old player? This doesn't make sense from both sides, it should be PSG who wants to sell him and it should be Newcastle who doesn't want him.

Navas is not bad, I agree with that but if someone offers you the right money and you have a great backup, then why wouldn't you want to sell a player. PSG could be a very rich team, but being rich doesn't need to mean that you also have to be an idiot neither, you just need to make sure you are doing right movements for your team.

It's just that Paris Saint-Germain wants to have two strong players in the goalkeeper position who can replace each other if necessary. There are different opinions about goalkeepers, and if some teams believe that for confidence in defense and psychological stability there should be a main goalkeeper, then it is obvious that Paris Saint-Germain has a different opinion on this matter. Also, I do not advise you to look into Navas' documents about his age, 35 is the normal age for a player of this playing role. Also, let's not forget that Paris Saint-Germain has everything in order with finances and the club can afford to think more about the sporting result than about the potential benefits from the sale.

[kawetsriyanto]

Barcelona's financial condition didn't allow for Haaland's signing and I don't think Barcelona will be able to sell several players at once just for the sake of getting Haaland. Barcelona let off Messi and Griezmann because of financial problems. If they insisted on getting Haaland then their situation could get even worse, because in order to sign Haaland then there will be some that will have to be sacrificed.

Yep. Barcelona shouldn't compete to buy Haaland, they have no capacity to sign him. Even they finally sign Haaland, there is no guarantee that Barcelona to win every title. Remember that a success of a football team doesn't rely on 1 player only, it should require a quality of all lines. Even having Haaland can improve Barcelona attacking power, will be useless if Barcelona has a weak defense and midfield. Also, Haaland may be not suitable for Barcelona playing style or Xavi's strategy, so we cannot say "he easily can give a significant effect on Barcelona". I still remember when Ibrahimovic played in Barcelona, even he is a fantastic central forward but he cannot adapt to Barcelona playing style well.

PSG wouldn't be willing to sell Keylor Navas to Newcastle or any other club now I think. Because Keylor Navas is still showing an amazing performance. Why would they want to sell him in this case? I know that they have Donnarumma also and he is just a wonderful goalkeeper which is for sure. But PSG would look at their situation from an aspect like it is better to have two solid goalkeepers at the team rather than one. In the end, they might have big problems when their main goalkeeper gets injured in case they have only one solid goalkeeper.

Navas is only a substitute player on PSG, if I become him I will move to another club. The player's ability will be going to decrease if rarely plays on the field, what else is he a goalkeeper where it needs takes so much time to get experience. He is not young also, better to move to Newcastle especially being paid and cash even though the possibility in the next session he will play in the championship.

He is 35 years old and his contract with PSG ends in 2024. At this age he will not become better, best he can do is to maintain his good performance if not lose some of it.
I doubt PSG will let him go to Newcastle before the end of the season. They need him in CL especially. Otherwise money isn't a problem for Newcastle, they will pay more than what will be asked. The problem is would Navas accept move there if Newcastle will relegate? I don't think so. He will most likely stay in PSG imo unless they will place him in the benches most of the time.

Not really yet as Navas only substitute player on PSG because he can plays regular and playing well when get chance, Donarumma and Navas ever on bench and some time Navas playing as regular and Donnaruma have starting on bench, I think Navas still as best keeper right now and he can playing well try looking new club and can playing as regular on every match, but right now he looks happy with PSG although not playing full on this season after arriving Donnarumma make him playing as starting eleven not fully. Navas as important player for PSG where success for the first time take to champion league final although defeat by Bayern Munich but I think he not get guarantee playing as starter for every match.

although newcastle has a very large coffers of money, and is ready to pay keylor navas with a high salary, and is ready to redeem keylor navas at psg, i think their business is very difficult to happen, because they are still in the bottom rank of the standings, and are a degraded team, even though Navas is only the second goalkeeper at PSG, I don't think Navas will want to join Newcastle, according to rumors circulating, PSG doesn't want to release Navas to any club, because PSG still wants Navas' services to defend their goal..

New rumours about Adam Hlozek. FC Bayern & Dortmund have contacted Sparta Prague. Adam Hlozek is 19 years old and is currently  the Czech Republic's greatest talent (market value € 19,000,000). He is also a national player. For FC Bayern he can only be a substitute, for Dortmund a replacement for Haaland? Would make more sense. Maybe they can had him for €25,000,000 and if Haaland leaves, there's €75,000,000 in the pocket, so it's an easy deal.

I don't know why you say that Keylor Navas is only a substitute at PSG, because I see that Keylor Navas has quite a lot of playing time with PSG right now, and it can even be said that actually Keylor Navas is still the main goalkeeper of PSG. You can compare the statistics between Keylor Navas and Donnarumma below:

@asus09, I also don't think that Navas would be joining a club that's at the bottom of their league. Also, I think that Newcastle should focus on younger players rather than old ones.

@TopT3ns, No, I don't think that Navas has been getting the minutes he deserves after Donnarumma arrived. He is clearly the 2nd keeper and only played in not-so-important matches. So for the welfare of Navas, maybe selling him would be a good idea?

It’s very funny seeing this Bukayo Saka's transfer saga. Arsenal can never listen to any offer from any club. First of all him Saka is not thinking about leaving the club anytime soon. He’s just 20 and he’s one of the fastest developing players in the world. Arsenal will never want to allow him leave. He’s a integral part of the Arsenal team. In fact he’s one of the players is the team play and tactics is built upon. I don’t know what Juergen Klopp wants to do with him. They have Mo Salah on the flank already. Mo has like 3-4 years to play. They can’t buy Saka and sit him out on the bench awaiting Salah to leave before he plays.

I think it could make sense for Bayern to sign Hlozek and i also read about this rumor the first time a few weeks ago. I mean of course he would not have a starting position right away at Bayern Munich but his first 1 or 2 years at Bayern could be used to increase his times on the field gradually and then afterwards, once Lewandowski is gone he can be the number 1 striker at Bayern. Also there are always rumors about Lewandowski that he wants to leave Bayern again after this season in order to be able to play at least once in England or Spain in his career. So if that would be the case then Hlozek would be needed right away at Bayern.

[cryptofrka]

Tottenham is pushing for Adama Traore - they want a new winger in this transfer window. They are still trying to sell players to make it happen but they didn't really receive a lot of interest for players that they want to sell (Ndombele, Bergwijn and Alli).

That might be a blessing in disguise for them, I cannot understand why anybody would want to buy Traore. He's a player for the NFL, not for football. If they bring him, I would not be surprised at all if Conte threw him on the wingback position.

I still remember when Ibrahimovic played in Barcelona, even he is a fantastic central forward but he cannot adapt to Barcelona playing style well.

A team cannot win if they only have one great player. If you look at this Barca squad, the only star players I can see are Busquets, Pique and Depay. Of them, the former two have aged.
So even if they bring Haaland, he alone can't only do so much. They have a very young midfield who won't be able to serve Haaland the way he gets the supply in Dortmund. Even his career might also get wasted if he joins FCB at the moment.
