⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Sterbens]

I really did not want Mane to leave Liverpool but it is what it is. Everything is going to change with time and this is no exception. I am sure that Liverpool will not have any problems since they are selling Mane and Minamino so almost all of the 64 million is going to be covered.

Almost no Liverpool fans want Sadio Mane to leave Anfield but I think the management and coach know what is best for the club, his departure is also for its own sake because the club has tried to offer a new contract but until now Mane is still reluctant to do so signing a new contract, releasing Mane and being replaced with Darwin Núñez, I think is quite feasible.

Sadio Mane was already disappointed, so he already had the determination to end his career at Liverpool and find a home that could appreciate his contribution far more. That was the topic of Mane's departure, coupled with a request from Senegal itself to withdraw and return there.

After Mane departure, we will still see him in a club shirt that has very good potential.

Transfer rumours:

Manchester United will join the race for Poland striker Robert Lewandowski should the 33-year-old's dream move to Barcelona fail to come off, with the Spanish giants attempting to move on some of their high earners. What’s going on here, I thought Barcelona and Lewandowski had agreed on everything?
Paris St-Germain are also interested in Lewandowski, who has one year left on his contract with Bayern Munich. Lewandowski becomes the story of the day.   Which club he will choose in the end?

It is very interesting, Lewandowski deserves to be a bone of contention for a giant club. His quality is promising, this can be seen from now on. Lewandowski has so many offers with the door open, the options at Barcelona have been agreed upon but if this pre-hunt continues will it change Lewandowski's mind? I don't think Barcelona can compete with higher bids.

A very high sum for a player of his age. I've never heard of him, I'll have to look at his stats, but I still don't think anything justifies this exorbitant sum. The expectations will be very high now and will he live up to the expectations? There will be a lot of pressure from the fans

First, inflation. Secondly, how much did you hear about Mbappe when he was bought for 180 million? It's one thing that that deal was in the shadow of the deal with Neymar (300 million), but in fact Mbappe became a world star after that transfer. Plus, you should take into account that Tchuameni is not a striker but a defensive midfielder - such players get into the media space much later than the attackers.

[Avirunes]

So - Nunez deal to Liverpool is done. All that's left is a medical examination that Nunez should no issues with. The fee is 64 million pounds upfront, with 13 mil. in appearances and 9 mil in team success bonuses.

The biggest transfer in club history - I really hope it will be worth it. We needed a striker and we got one of the most promising ones and we will cover most of the fee with Mane and Minamino transfers.

Well Liverpool needed an answer for Haaland to City and they got Nunez who showed remarkable performance in Champions League matches against Liverpool. I think he is gonna do well in Premier League and gonna develop well under Klopp.

Minamino transfer? Didn't heard anything about that. Any club interested on him?

You have a point. Kylian Mbappe needed to join a team like PSG to make the world hear about his name and talent much more. He is really a world star player now. It can be the same for Aurelien Tchouameni also. He is also a Monaco player who is waiting for joining one of the biggest teams in the world. I hope that he also can develop his game a lot at Real Madrid. As long as he has real talent I don't expect him to have big difficulties though. He will make the squad more dynamic as well.

[Harkorede]

Then in my opinion, if Dybala joins Inter, he will replace Edin Dzeko, because Dzeko is 36 years old. So it's time for Dzeko to be replaced
by a younger player like Dybala. What's even more interesting is that Lukaku returns to Inter on loan. It is possible that there will be a change
in strategy, because Inter have quite a lot of strikers, so there is the possibility of  Inter playing 3 strikers at once. If it is true that Inter managed
to get Dybala and also Lukaku, it is certain that Inter have a big enough chance of winning the Serie trophy, because Inter have a very strong front line.

Even though Dzeko is quite old, his contribution is still quite influential for Inter, like Ibrahimovic at Milan. Lautaro Martinez has appeared as a star this seasons and it is highly unlikely that Dybala will replace him, so choosing a dzeko to replace is the right decision, time for the dzeko to rest. If Inter play three strikers at once, it means Simone Inzaghi will make a formation change for Inter next season, maybe Inter will continue to use 3 defenders, 4 midfielders and 3 strikers, or try 4-3-3

By the way, I'm curious about the price for the transfer of Dybala to Inter, is it free?

Dybala is out of contract at Juventus and both parties couldn't agree at a renewal, so he's officially a free agent, and every compensation for signing would be his, and addition of Dybala would make inter much better, and by the looks of it, Juventus having let go of a host of players have been pretty quite in the transfer window, they'll be less competitive imo if they fail to make replacement signings in this transfer window.

What’s going on here, I thought Barcelona and Lewandowski had agreed on everything?

Paris St-Germain are also interested in Lewandowski, who has one year left on his contract with Bayern Munich. Lewandowski becomes the story of the day.   Which club he will choose in the end?

Chelsea are also preparing to enter the race to sign Lewandowski, but cannot make a move until they sell 29-year-old Belgium striker and £97.5m club-record buy Romelu Lukaku. Who's next?  

Liverpool have reached a verbal agreement to buy 22-year-old Uruguayan striker Darwin Nunez from Benfica and are preparing the paperwork to compete a deal worth £85m.
The deal means Senegal striker Sadio Mane, 30, is edging closer to a move from Liverpool to Bayern Munich. So, it seems that everything has been agreed here, Nunez is coming and Mane is leaving.
Chelsea have been given a transfer boost after Barcelona confirmed France winger Ousmane Dembele, 25, has not signed a new contract offer. Will Dembele really go to Chelsea?

France midfielder Paul Pogba, 29, will return to Juventus on a four-year deal worth £68m following his departure from Manchester United. So, in the end, Juve and not PSG?

I don't see Lewandowski going into Barcelona with the type of money that Barcelona has right now. Any English Premier League team is going to be ahead in the race of getting Lewandowski compared to Barcelona.

I don't think Chelsea is going to be very interested in Robert Lewandowski. I think they have other plans in mind, Chelsea is really trying to keep Lukaku because they have basically got nothing from the 97 million that they have spent for this player and they are obviously not willing to let him go without getting anything out of him.

Liverpool has started the procedure of getting ready for the departure of Mane. And I think that transfer is proof of it.

Paul Pogba is going to play better at Juventus. Probably we will see this player playing better along with his team.

[DanWalker]

PSG will be in the right hands if Zidane officially becomes coach, so far PSG has been inhabited by great players, but the lack of ingredients from the coach, PSG has difficulty competing in European competitions. Zidane quality as a coach is unquestionable, he is one of the legendary great coaches in the UCL competition. Zidane's arrival can also attract Pogba interest in joining PSG, Pogba can increase his level of play again with Zidane. Zidane's genius in applying tactics in every match made it easier for PSG to get the UCL trophy, especially before Zidane had won the trophy with Real Madrid.

I disagree that PSG did not have great coaches so far. I mean just look at the coaches that they have had in the recent years. Pochettino, Tuchel and Emery are all great coaches. I think especially Thomas Tuchel is one of the best coaches in the world and that was obvious when he left Paris and went to FC Chelsea. Back then Chelsea was not doing very well in the premier league but when Tuchel became their coach they performed strong in the Premier League and they even won the Champions League which really no one expected a few months before.
The problem of PSG is that they are just signing players with big names no matter if they fit to the team or not. Maybe if Zidane will also be responsible for that then this will change, but i doubt that Zidane is a better coach than Tuchel or Pochettino.

PSG had good coaches but when you have a team absolutely filled with big names you need a coach who will be able to impose authority over the players. I don't think any of the coaches that have been there for PSG previously in recent times was able to do that. Otherwise, PSG should have performed a lot better. It is also true that PSG is just spending money without thinking about what the team's chemistry is going to be. You cannot win having 11 world-class attacking players on the same team. Zidane would have done a better job but honestly, it is not hard to doubt him at this point either.

Now Lewandowski has to choose where he will go whether to Barcelona, which has to give up his salary cut or to another club with a decent offer, it's just a matter for Lewandowski because the offers of other teams will also affect Lewandowski in his future.
But I think Barcelona is still the strongest candidate who will be his target team on the other hand Chelsea will try to get him but it will all be thought about how Chelsea can play Lewandowski who is 33 years old.
Or Manchester United but for me Lewandowski being under Erik Ten Hag is not very suitable.

Yes I have the same opinion that Liverpool will still agree to Mane to Bayern Munich because they already have a younger Nunez.

[Iranus]

After Mane departure, we will still see him in a club shirt that has very good potential.

As they has taken Darwin Nunez from Liverpool, I guess that Sadio Mane will go into another team, maybe Bayern Munich, maybe another one, but it will be a big team, so, if you imagine it, maybe you should also know
where he would go.
It is really a bad thing anyway, considering that Liverpool is doing so good things in this seasons.

@Gianluca95, It's alright, He is already 30 years old and now he should look for other opportunities in his career. So, I don't think anyone can blame the player in this situation.
@Sterbens, He is a great player, he will do very well wherever he chooses to go next. I personally would have liked to see him in Liverpool at least one more season but I think whatever happens is for the best.

Dybala is such a good player, he has great potential but during the past seasons, he is not doing better in the team due to crucial injury and lack of game time. He will definitely leave the summer and some big teams are interested in the Argentine. Inter Milan is one big team that already has strong link with the player, although Dyby is under probability to leave the team as Juventus don't seem to extend xintry with the player.

We all know dybala is a good player, he is a experience player with a great potential. Though his last season performance at Juventus wasn't better, though he had some crucial injuries and he did not have enough game time in the club. He created alot of impact in the team, his time in the club will always be remembered in the heart of the fan, he was once a hero in the club and will forever be. I think the team no longer need him, cause his contract had expired already and he really need to move to a team that he will have enough game time.

Dybala is a player I admire so much. I am always inlove with his setpiece, footings and composure with the round leather. I have almost admired him with the likes of Coutihno and Griezmann when the trio was at their peak. They have almost same playing pattern and they are the kinds of players I will buy as a coach.
However all those praises cannot be said of the three players now as their performance has dropped. Then Dybala is still a good player and I don't know why a club like Manchester United will not see him.

Yeah Juventus kinda didn't used Dybala well in last few years of his contract. Dybala is a great player and is really unique player. Quick on the ball and good passer as well. I think Inter will be able to make good use of him. With Perisic out to Spurs they did need to fill the spot and Dybala will fit in perfectly.

[Alanaz]

You have a point. Kylian Mbappe needed to join a team like PSG to make the world hear about his name and talent much more. He is really a world star player now. It can be the same for Aurelien Tchouameni also. He is also a Monaco player who is waiting for joining one of the biggest teams in the world. I hope that he also can develop his game a lot at Real Madrid. As long as he has real talent I don't expect him to have big difficulties though. He will make the squad more dynamic as well.

In fact, I feel more that he will not be able to develop the pattern of the game he does if he only relies on PSG. PSG are a great team but their Ligue 1 opponents are definitely not up to par and this could have made him less focused on improving as their opponents are just so far behind. On the other hand, he himself also knows that he is not at PSG because he wants to develop his current game.

Kylian Mbappe should have gone to Real Madrid. PSG is good only in their domestic league, they are found wanting when paired against teams from other leagues. I think it’s too early for him to put money first ahead of his career. He’s a young lad and has a promising future. Mbappe style of football is entertaining and is similar to that of Pele. I think it would be better if he goes to a club where he can win championship trophies and increase his chance of winning a ballon d’or.

The important thing is not that he is the champion in Ligue 1. Any coach can do this with the current squad. The main is to win the trophy in the Champions League. I think Zidane can do that. He is an experienced coach. I think he will get along well with his compatriot Mbappe. Maybe no other coach could have done it.

[judas]

PSG have had good managers so far. It is a sure thing to me. The problem is that they still haven't been able to find the one who can make them reach the Champions League championship easier. People are all talking about Zinedine Zidane to be the most fitting manager for PSG now. To be honest it is the same for me too. I just trust him a lot as I really admired his management at Real Madrid. Why wouldn't he experience the same success with PSG too? There isn't still any official news linking PSG to him for now but I hope a deal like this can happen.

[terrorJR]

expectations that more often burden a player and ultimately make the performance unable to be displayed optimally, but I don't expect that to happen to Nunez.
Nunez played very well throughout the 2020-2022 season with Benfica and I really hope Nunez will also show his best game with Liverpool.

Actually, I still see that this kind of thing will be a double-edged sword, it can be burdensome but on the other hand it can be a pioneer of enthusiasm because this kind of expectation will always be there and players, especially those who have had good careers before, cannot avoid things like this because of goals. they are bought is to show good performance.
But I feel that he will still improve especially at his young age.

[sana54210]

Real Madrid is a team that always surprises me, I think the failure to recruit Haaland and Mbappe will be replaced with better ones in the next 1 or 2 seasons, now they are still very able to rely on Benzema on the front lines for the next few seasons.
Rafael Leao may be very close to being at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium but he is not a star worthy of replacing Karim Benzema.
this season there are not so many transfers at the Real Madrid club because it doesn't really matter now they still have an adequate squad to look forward to next season.

Still they would have sign a capable player, one who can replace him when he is not playing and can also play with him when he is on the pitch,they are still good players out there,is not only Mbappe and haaland that are better in there position, Sadio Mane is in the market, Darwin Nunes is available, Lautaro Martinez, Dybala so many good players are still available so I think is ignorance to real Madrid not to bring in another star attacker because you never know Karim benzema might have an injury season not wishing him that though.

I think just because they had one deal, doesn't mean that they won't have any other neither. I feel like they are going to still look for a replacement to Benzema for sure.

However, Real is not the type of team that will be pressured into making a decision, they would rather move on with the same roster than make a pressured decision, we have seen this a million times before. They will find a player eventually and pay a good top money to get him, but until then, they will keep on looking. Benzema will be replaced for sure, there is no denying that, and it is going to be either this summer or next summer for sure, the only difference is that they are going to not rush into it.
