⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[BuNga_cute]

Liverpool are planning to offer Senegal international Sadio Mane a new contract. The 30-year-old forward's current deal ends in 12 months. What will Mane decide? Continue to play together with your friend Salah or decide on a new challenge?
Borussia Dortmund chief Sebastian Kehl says Manchester City have not agreed a deal to sign Norwegian striker Erling Braut Haaland, 21. Does that mean that Haaland is going to Real in the end?
Bayern Munich chief executive Oliver Kahn says the club do not have the financial might to sign Haaland. Kahn also confirmed the club are in contract negotiations with Polish forward Robert Lewandowski, 33. Bayern can't bring in Haaland but the question is whether they can keep Lewandowski at the club as well?
Arsenal could let as many as 12 players leave this summer with Germany goalkeeper Bernd Leno, 30, Spain defender Hector Bellerin, 27, and France forward Alexandre Lacazette, 30, all set to depart. A lot of players are leaving. What's going on with Arsenal?
Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti says Croatia midfielder Luka Modric will finish his career at the club. The 36-year-old has been linked with moves to Newcastle and Manchester City. Has this finally confirmed that Modric will stay at Real until the end?

I think Sadio Mane is absolutely a great football player and he is also playing really well for Liverpool and I really don't think there need to be any changes. I expect him to stay.
I really don't know how Bayern Munich does not have the money to go for Haaland but I really think Robert Lewandowski is going to make a move to Barcelona.
And after all these, I think Real Madrid might be the destination for Haaland. Because the other player which they have been keeping an eye on is still staying at PSG.

Just few months ago, almost every Liverpool fan was skeptical about Sadio Mane contract but Klopp believed in him and since returning from the AFCON competition, he has revived his career. I sincerely think he have earned it. Haaland likely destination is at Etihad and not Real Madrid because he's not the first option for Real Madrid, Mbappe is.

Sadio Mane is one of the best strikers Liverpool have, his contribution is quite big for Liverpool. Sadio Mane is also a player that is trusted
by Klopp, especially this season Mane has shown his productivity as a Liverpool striker. So far Mane has scored 13 goals from 28 matches
in the Premier League, it already shows that Sadio Mane deserves a contract extension offer from Liverpool. And reportedly Liverpool are
interested in extending Mane's contract. But maybe because he is already 30 years old, Liverpool will consider giving a bigger salary and
a long-term contract. Hopefully Mane and Liverpool find an agreement soon, because it would be very detrimental if Liverpool did not extend
Mane's contract.

Regarding Haaland, many have linked his move to Man City, because since the beginning of this season Man City are looking for a striker
to replace Aguero. And indeed Haaland is considered very suitable to play at Man City, I am sure Haaland will grow even more if he is
coached by Guardiola. Then Real Madrid was reportedly very interested in signing Haaland too, but because Real Madrid's main focus was Mbappe,
Haaland is very unlikely to join Real Madrid.

[Pokapoka124]

Man Utd will attempts to get new midfielder because seems Pogba confirmed will leave Man Utd because refuse to extended his contract and the recent rumour is Man Utd want to bought Sergej Milinkovic-Savic from Lazio and why Man Utd want him because they consider Sergej Milinkovic-Savic have equal skill to Pogba and his performance also during play for Lazio was quite stable and price tag for him is 70 millions euro

This is the seventh year now Manchester United have been chasing Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and still Lazio haven’t increased his salary. He is a top player by all standard but still below Paul Pogba's clsss though. Sergej Milinković-Savić has been directly involved in 19 league goals this season, scoring 9 goals so far. Can he really thrive at Manchester United?

[LUCKMCFLY]

Newcastle have an incredibly big transfer budget now indeed. But I'm not sure how many top players would like to come here and start over. Newcastle will need to sign so many players like that to create a very solid team. They wouldn't be too strong if they sign only a few players who are top ones. When it comes to Mbappe and Haaland, Newcastle would be able to pay much more money than their rivals for sure. But I've big doubts whether these players would be willing to join them. To me, I don't think that it would happen.

Well, I have always seen Newcastle with good eyes for many years, but now with the owners of the team that they have, they are able to include even CR7 and Messi if they want and make Mbappé and Neymar Jr their apprentices, because they have the capacity. to do so, I even believe that in terms of money they far exceed PSG and Real Madrid, I believe that with what they have, the necessary material to make them function as the best team in the world, and this becomes interesting because by placing to Haaland and Mbappé is something that already changes all predictions about the other matches of any team, I think that if they do it well, Newcastle will be the sensational team.

Man Utd will attempts to get new midfielder because seems Pogba confirmed will leave Man Utd because refuse to extended his contract and the recent rumour is Man Utd want to bought Sergej Milinkovic-Savic from Lazio and why Man Utd want him because they consider Sergej Milinkovic-Savic have equal skill to Pogba and his performance also during play for Lazio was quite stable and price tag for him is 70 millions euro

He is a top player by all standard but still below Paul Pogba's clsss though. Sergej Milinković-Savić has been directly involved in 19 league goals this season, scoring 9 goals so far. Can he really thrive at Manchester United?

Well, for me, Man United will always be a great team, the fact that Pogba is leaving is serious at the moment, despite the fact that CR7's situation is not good, due to his private life and the loss of his son, it is a person who must be having a hard time, however I don't think the team will disintegrate, I think every team goes through various crises of its best players, for me it will prosper, and everything will be put together in the best way for the team.

It's clear that the goal of Erik ten Hag is to build his own empire. This summer, he may bring Antony to Manchester United. Considering the strong competition, the Dutch coach has requested United's hierarchy to speed up the transfer process. Could Antony get more glory at United?

Transfer rumours:

Manchester City and England forward Raheem Sterling, 27, is on a list of players AC Milan want to sign amid reports of a potential £850m takeover of the 18-time champions of Italy. Is this a good decision for Manchester City? What if Haaland gets hurt?
Manchester City have told Dortmund and Norway striker Erling Braut Haaland, 21, that he could join Real Madrid later in his career if he moves to the Etihad this summer. The signing-on fee and agent commission on a potential deal could add £40m to the £63m transfer fee stipulated by Haaland's release clause. Interesting news. Does Haaland really have that much desire to play for Real once?
Real Madrid and Barcelona are both interested in signing Chelsea and Germany defender Antonio Rudiger, 29, who is out of contract at the end of the season but is keen to stay at Stamford Bridge. What Rudiger will decide in the end?
Lazio, Juventus and AC Milan could all be destinations for Chelsea and Italy midfielder Jorginho, 30, who is unlikely to be offered an extension to a contract that expires at the end of next season. Everyone is leaving Chelsea, who will eventually stay at the club?
Tottenham are confident of keeping England forward Harry Kane, 28, this summer and considering a move to bring Brentford and Denmark midfielder Christian Eriksen, 30, back to the club. Spurs are also keeping tabs on 24-year-old Leicester and Belgium midfielder Youri Tielemans. How realistic are these expectations?

The money bag continues to buy stars. But we must admit that this is reasonable behavior - competitors are actually nearby (and Liverpool may even be ahead) so if you do not buy a player, then a competitor can buy him and bypass you. As for the record salary, this is also quite logical - Haaland has a wide choice and he can dictate terms. Let's see how this transition will justify itself.

He is worth the price tag places on him.and even more, expecting a quick settling in the premier league, he has pace strong, good at positioning and gives he's team mate's assist.
A good team player, you should go see some highlights during Sancho's days at Dortmund.
I was expecting Bayern Munich too approch him before Manchester City did,they have other options I see.

Haaland is already an accomplished player and his qualifications are not in question. The problem is that sometimes a change of scenery does not contribute to progress, but rather hinders it. Is the Premier League right for him? During the season we saw that he often gets micro-injuries - maybe in the Premier League, which is famous for its toughness, the issue of injuries will become more serious for him than in the Bundesliga.

[freedomgo]

Money cannot make that happen overnight even if they will pour their money up to the last cents. There will be some changes but that will take some time and definitely won't happen so sudden just because they have the money, time by time and little by little they will win some titles along the way as there will be some new good players who will join them along the way if the price was good enough for them.

Moreover, even if they get like world's best team type of situation going on, it will not be easy to put a whole system around it and make it work. Look at PSG, they got like world star level players and they still ended up failing against Madrid, why? Because Madrid has been a team for a long time and learned how to play with each other, which is a proof that having a proper system means a lot more. They are ruthless as well, if you suck, you are gone. Look at Ramos and Bale, they are players that Madrid played for so long and paid so much, and as soon as they became bad they let them go.

This is why I highly believe that Newcastle could be a PSG level team even after many years, and it would take decades before you could be a team that can sustain even without spending much money.

Exactly, I agree. Real Madrid is on a different level because their team is already so seasoned because they have been lots of through ups and downs before they got the position they're in now, it takes time and patience when investing for a team like that. As even if you put the best players in the whole world in one team you cannot just expect that they will be so harmonious in an instant and give you a positive result/win. Best thing to do is to scout and invest in some good experienced players first.

Sadly, Manchester United owners are not one that wants to build an empire, they only want to grow their profits. I am not entirely convinced about Erik ten Hag, but i am trusting that he will be able to get results by building the core of the team around hungry youngsters. Anthony? cdm ? the big question is will mufc owners be sanctioning any purchasE? i don't believe so much in the glazers

Definitely Erik ten Hag will sign Anthony as one of his new signings and possibly one of the few players that might opt to follow the new manager, honestly Man Utd midfield has been in shambles and one of the major area that needed to be fortified, Anthony, van de Beek (on loan to Everton) and few more quality midfielders will do the job brilliantly, while the likes of Matic, Pogba, Fred and should be shown the exist door, infact the club needed to be completely overhauled, with exception of DeGea, Ronaldo and few other youngsters.

I think Erling Haaland can be a great addition to Manchester City. and with any transfer, the fear of injury will always be there but it is absolute. But, I really think that Real Madrid is the most suitable team for Erling Haaland.

 I think if Real Madrid and Barcelona are both pursuing one player stand both teams really need that very badly, in my opinion, Real Madrid should win in that race because Real Madrid has a lot more financial stability compared to Barcelona. But if the contract does not get extended then it is a different story.

Jorginho can move to Juventus in my opinion. Of course, if the options are Lazio, Juventus, and AC Milan I think Juventus is the best bet here.

Even though if the spurs want to keep Harry Kane I think it will be better for Harry Kane to leave the club because I think he can achieve a lot more in a lot of other clubs.

Manchester United management is reportedly going to make a massive overhaul next season, after yesterday crushing defeat to Liverpool, Rangnick, who will serve as Manchester United consultant next season, said at a press conference that they would make a revolution by bringing in six or seven new players, I think the revolution carried out by Manchester is inseparable from Ten Hag desire to rebuild Manchester United next season, so I think it is impossible that Glazer will refuse to spend money to cover the shortfall from the sale of Manchester United players later.

transfermarkt.co.uk reports that Erling Haaland has now reached an agreement with manchester city and nothing stands in the way of a summer transfer
EH will then be the highest paid player in the premier league with a weekly salary of more than £500,000

Multiple reports in England have suggested that Erling Haaland has agreed on personal terms with Manchester City. On Tuesday, The Athletic confirmed a report by the Daily Mail that the Borussia Dortmund striker had given the green light for a move to the English champions while also adding that there is still work to be done before a move can be finalized.

I am going to say that he is worth the money if he actually plays all the matches in the season. well, at least most of the matches.

If he does miss more than half of the season I think this money is just a waste. with this amount of money, they could have bought two. But as I said he is obviously worth it but I am concerned about the injury issues.

[Marvell1]

I really don't know how Bayern Munich does not have the money to go for Haaland but I really think Robert Lewandowski is going to make a move to Barcelona.
And after all these, I think Real Madrid might be the destination for Haaland. Because the other player which they have been keeping an eye on is still staying at PSG.

Well i think that Bayern has the money to sign Haaland but it seems like they are just not willing to meet the outrageous demands of Haaland and his agent. Haaland asks for a salary of around 40 M€ per year if the rumors are true which is just crazy for a 21 year old players that has missed most of the games this season. What is even more ridiculous though is the fact that Haalands agent Mino Raiola wants 40 M€ for himself as a signing fee and Haalands father wants 30M€ for himself as a brokerage fee. That are 70M€!!! just for Haalands agents, that is just absolutely crazy and no club in the world should agree to such terms even if their money comes from sheikhs and oligarchs.
Bayern is one of the clubs that could still afford such a deal as they are still having at least 100M€ lying in the Bank, they are just not paying such crazy unjustifiable fees for agents because they always spent their money reasonably and carefully.
Clubs like Real Madrid (900 M€ of debts) and Barcelona (1,3 Billion € of debts) just keep signing new players even though they are broke already. Spanish clubs just can't deal with money apparently.
Bayern could spend 1 Billion € for players and would still be financially healthier than Barca after that. Pretty crazy.

Yes, I agree. I also think that Bayern Munich does have the financial capability of pulling this type of deal but they just do not want to risk it because it is quite unbelievable and to be a  little ‘riding your luck’. 
so, I think it is best that they are not trying to pull out any type of deal like that.

Erling Haaland is going to be a great addition and also going to play well in Manchester City I believe. But what I am concerned about is the injury issue.

It would be a shame if this player went to another club but until now there has been no official statement and even kloop is still silent about this.
I just hope he still stays at Anfield because whatever the reason he is still a really great player and the moves he made made Liverpool strong as they are today.
I think it would be unbelievable if Liverpool just let him go

[AakZaki]

I read that Man City's move to sign Haaland and make him the most expensive player is just a rumor. There is no agreement yet because Dortmund also have a special release clause. Haaland's future will be announced in two weeks. So it still seems to be a mystery where Haaland is going.

It has been claimed that the "special" release clause equals to a price between 70-80 million euros which is really nothing for a player like Erling Haaland. This kind of a transfer fee wouldn't be any problem for Manchester City for certain. And even with all his demands, Manchester City wouldn't still have any trouble in this. However the biggest question is whether he would like to leave the team this summer above all else. Maybe he will decide to stay and all the things will start to get boring all of a sudden.

Christian Eriksen has been on an incredible form since returning back to football for both club and his national side and been on a free transfer will make him one of the most sort after player this summer.  Although, he is 30 but on a free that’s a risk worth taking in any possession based team and his ability to pick out pass from anywhere is top-notch. The only reason I think Chelsea might lose any of their players will be because of the external situation surrounding the club and the uncertainty about the club's future.

[VanityWallets2015]

Eriksen is still a great player. Still, I don't think a top transfer will be possible for him. Clubs simply don't dare to run the risk of offering him a contract because of his health. But I think Eriksen has long been happy that he can still play in the Premier League, even if it is at a lower level. He also has to think about his health, he was lucky that he survived last year. I will give him a transfer, he still has the qualities.

Regarding the issue of Haaland's price and also all the demands that Haaland wants, I am also sure that Man City can certainly fulfill them.
Because with the financial strength that Man City has, then Man City can definitely bring in Haaland. I agree it all depends on Haaland's own decision,
but I'm sure Haaland will move at the end of the season. Moreover, with Dortmund Haaland had difficulty winning trophies, therefore there was
no reason for Haaland to decide to stay any longer with Dortmund. Even though Haaland will move from Dortmund, Haaland doesn't necessarily
choose Man City as his new team. Because we know so many big clubs want Haaland, we will see if Man City can convince Haaland to choose Man City as
his new club.

It's only a matter of days to announce Erik Ten as the new coach, I'm optimistic that Erik Ten will become a coach who can replace Alex Ferguson, and return to success in bringing Manchester United to fight for the title next season, most likely Antony will shine with Manchester United, since in brought in from the San Paolo, at a price of 15.75 million euros, Antony's performance can be said to be very good, has played 79 matches, managed to score 22 goals and managed to provide 20 assists, in my opinion this is an extraordinary achievement, especially at Manchester United he will return later coached by Erik Ten, it is certain that his ability will get better, it is worth waiting for next season Manchester United again competes for the EPL title.
