⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Fesatmas]

After missing out on Kounde, it seems like Chelsea's targeting Leicester's Fofana.
To be honest, I feel that Fofana is a great CB in the making and he's been below the radar so far. I think he'd be a great addition to any PL club.

Yes, because after all Chelsea have to get a player who plays CB, because of their current shortage that looks to be in that position. In addition, they also need a striker who until now they have had difficulty getting players who can optimize attacks on the front lines. These two positions are now in dire need of Chelsea.

Newcastle are just unable to attract players who are world stars now. They still need time to prove themselves to that kind of players about how much they are passionate to be successful. The only way that they can do this seems like that they need to bring players like Draxler who is better than average. Sven Botman, Matt Targett and Nick Pope are the only transfers so far. Therefore Draxler would be the best signing now directly. They still have a long time to sign more players so I hope them to stay active.

No offense but Newcastle was never really a big team, not even in EPL. The only way is if they could offer their target players huge amount of salary, since they have new rich owner. Though I still doubt they will easily get a star player with only offering huge salary but at least they can compete with the actual big team with that. Newcastle hasn't done anything significant in this transfermarket until now, I expect them to make some big announcement next month.

For now maybe yes, but they have been in the ranks of big clubs and not even a few people admire them because some of the players who were very successful in their time such as Jackie Milburn, Malcolm Macdonald, Paul Gascoigne, Kevin Keegan to Alan Shearer.
Currently with their financial condition that can be said to be abundant, I don't think it will be difficult to make them one of the serious challengers for the next few seasons because with what money they can't achieve. We already have the example of Chelsea and City in the EPL.

When he said Arab and Turkish clubs wanted him he realized that indeed he would not be as attractive as before and the news would be lost with him going there but for the bigger leagues at least this gives something more for him to be news material even though the club he will join is not too attractive like she was young.
Currently he is 33 years old and it is very difficult if he wants to penetrate a big club.

Diego Costa appearance with Atletico Mineiro throughout the 2021 season was not very impressive, he was only able to score 5 goals from 19 appearances so I think it is difficult for him to be able to get a big European club for now, maybe going to Arab or Turkish clubs is very realistic for him at the moment, for his career development I think it has been very difficult especially now that he is 33 years old.

It depends on him now whether he really wants to compete in the big leagues in Europe or will he just be in a league that is not well known but his finances are guaranteed.
The Arab League will obviously be something to be relied on if that is an option but if he really wants to return to La Liga there may be some risks he will have to take in the future because staying here he will be a regular player now.

33 years old is not the end of a footballing career, Costa is a player full of experience so far and he has had impressive performances when he was a player at Atletico Madrid and Chelsea, Costa current status is without a club and reportedly there are several clubs from Arabia, Turkey, Spain and England are indeed interested in signing him, but of these clubs so far only Rayo Vallecano is serious about getting Costa and even now Rayo Vallecano has submitted a proposal to Diego Costa agent, although Costa is still one of the most dangerous strikers and honest I really miss all the controversies that have arisen due to the high temper that Diego Costa has had all this time.

There are rumors about Christiano Ronaldo joining Atletico Madrid, but the Atletico fans don't want him, so they have started a petition on Twitter. I totally understand them. Ronaldo scored lots of goals against Atletico in the past. He's not the player he used to be, so he can't be a leader or a top scorer anymore. He will turn into a substitute player with a big salary and this isn't what Atletico Madrid needs right now.
The rumors of Ronaldo joining Chelsea are most likely false.

This is a dubious statement, after all, in a more difficult league for attackers, Ronaldo became the top 3 scorer in far fewer games than the first two places. Well, if you look at the success of Atlético scorers, what will we see there? Correa 12 goals, Suarez 11  It's hard to be worse.
As for the noise generated by the fans, I would say that often the majority of the noise is created by a smaller part. But in general, now I do not expect Ronaldo to go to Atlético.

I suggest you not to be very sure of that.    He is aging and getting really old when we consider this sport. However Ronaldo still can be really effective at the team he goes to. I think that Manchester United are a very good example for this. He scored 24 goals in 37 games in total last season. This is really striking statistics for a 37-year-old striker I mean. He is still in a very solid shape physically as well. If he returns to the La Liga, I'm pretty sure that he can contribute more than Suarez's last season performance for Atletico Madrid.

many reasons that those rumors will only be just a rumors, first of all Atletico does not need Ronaldo. They already have Morata, Griezmann, and Joao Felix, their attacking is already so strong.
Moreover, I don't think Atletico want to pay his high salary.

One more thing, he was able to become the top goalscorer at Manchester United in the midst of their very disappointing performance. I don't want to compare with other players if they face the same situation as Ronaldo had at Manchester United last season. But in my opinion it is enough to prove that his time is not over, he still has high ambitions to become a destroyer of the opponent's defense.

Agree with what you said, Ronaldo's performance at the age of 37 can be considered one of the most striking at this time and it is not wrong if he is sometimes called a football robot in my country.
But the thing is I'm still not too sure of him at Atletico, Despite the rumors that have existed until now I still can't imagine this will happen.

Chelsea’s pursue other Wesley Fofana is going to be a very difficult one considering the fact that he just signed a new five-year contract in March that runs until 2027. That alone has put Leicester city in a strong bargaining position. Asides that, if Chelsea can get Wesley Fofana, it would be a very good deal for them, he's better than Kounde IMO considering his experience in the EPL and his age, but I am sure Leicester city will demand every penny from Chelsea.

So, where is Ronaldo now? In this transfer market, he is the best at keeping the hype around him. I see there are already rumors that Ronaldo will move to Atlético Madrid, but Cerezo immediately reacted to this and replied that this was impossible. In the end, everything will be resolved so that Ronaldo will return to Manchester United, and he will comment on all these rumors as gossip that had nothing to do with reality. And he was just absent for family reasons, as he initially stated.

Cristiano Ronaldo have return back to Manchester United training with his agent Jorge Mendes, he has talk with Manchester United manager Erik Tan Hag about his future, but still not have any official announcement what are talking about between Cristiano Ronaldo and Erik Tan Hag. Looks good news for Manchester United fans because they got back Cristiano Ronaldo but any speculative still happen before window transfer closing. But Manchester United have try to make several transfer player and Ronaldo really want his club keep actives on window transfer and pre pare for next season be better than last season after failing with champion league spot standing.

Atletico is very calculating when bringing in players, if Ronaldo status is a free transfer "Maybe" Atletico will bring him. But if you have to spend money, Atletico will step down.
Sometimes I feel sorry for Ronaldo, towards the final stage of his career he had to fail to appear in the Champions League because no club was serious about signing him. Manchester United, which is building its strength, will try to keep Ronaldo, even though the player wants to move. It is better for Ronaldo to stay at Manchester United to help the club that has given him the opportunity to become a great player, Ronaldo must be part of the Ten Hag project in rebuilding the strength of Manchester United.

[Rruchi man]

Looks good news for Manchester United fans because they got back Cristiano Ronaldo...

Are we sure it is good news because the new Manchester United team under the management of Erik has showed an improved performance even in the pre-season without Cristiano Ronaldo. It seems to me that they were already moving on and getting used to the squad without Cristiano Ronaldo it gave other players an opportunity in my opinion to step up and show their worth. with Cristiano Ronaldo deciding to stay after a failed attempt at leaving all the players in the club even those who just recently joined and play the same position as he does may begin to doubt that they will have enough playing time before the transfer window closes we may see some other players deciding to leave or go on loan to other clubs from Manchester United.

In other news, Lisandro Martinez has reunited with Erik ten Hag   in a deal worth £56.7 million from Ajax. Manchester United are lucky to have him as Arsenal was also interested.  He is a versatile and solid defender that can stop top attackers, he is surely an asset to Erik, hence his move to have him.

Is it possible for Atlético to sign Cristiano Ronaldo? Whether it's Atletico Madrid or another club, we are concerned that the possibility of Cristiano Ronaldo leaving Manchester United is fading. As a 37-year-old, he is still chasing individual records, but teams are now looking for team players. Suppose he is chasing the Champions League and ends up with a team that finishes 3rd in the group stages and goes straight to Europa. Cristiano, however, thinks differently. There might be a better plan in his head.

In my opinion, Cristiano Ronaldo deserves better but at this time most of the teams are rejecting. May be high salary is the main reason. Teams which are playing UCL, there is a small chance to get huge playing time because there has good players already. I think he will stay in Manchester United.

Unless there is some strong interest from clubs, he will stay. It is hard for clubs to go for Ronaldo given his salary and most top clubs already have striker they are satisfied. I can see why Ronaldo wants to move away from the club but it is likely that he has to make do with United this season. So far Atletico and Bayern were reported to be interested but both club's representatives shut down those rumours.

After reaching an agreement with Sevilla, Barcelona is set to sign Jules Koundé. Barcelona definitely needed to strengthen their defense, so this is great news. A great job has been done by President Laporta in hijacking players to build a strong team. Barcelona team is handed Chelsea front and back. Right now, Barcelona is interested in signing every Chelsea player. A lot of players are being scouted by Chelsea, and some are being signed by Barcelona.

[tokeweed]

Timo Werner can exit Chelsea this summer only if Juventus are ready to pull the deal. I think the Old Lady's really need a backup winger and Timo Werner falls in the category of players Allegri want. Morever Chelsea have plan a loan deal which will involve RB Leipzig player Mukiele, but since PSG first them opening bid with the player, and it's also a done deal for Mukiele to Paris. There's still possible move that might go on for the German this summer, it's never too late for Todd Boehly and Thomas Tuchel to decide on what to do with Timo Werner.

Yeah, Chelsea should sell him while there's still some value to be had.  I think it's safe today that he's a flop at Chelsea.  What would have been if he went to Liverpool and play under Klopp instead.  If I remember it right Klopp had interest in acquiring him from RB Leipzig but he decided to go to Chelsea.

Anyway I'm seeing lots of new names I'm not familiar with.  Lol.

Rumour was just rumour. The same thing was happening once rumour about chelsea interested to brought ronaldo was pretty much the same like atletico madrid. The thing that makes it different is if all of these clubs were rejecting ronaldo. It seems like that ronaldo has no chance other than still stay at old trafford. So many rumours about him even some said that he will be going back to the real madrid but real madrid was also rejecting such rumour as well.
