⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[TopT3ns]

Latest rumours say that Chelsea are preparing an offer for Wesley Fofana which is worth 80 million pounds. This would be a record-breaking transfer at the same time. I still doubt whether he is really worth that much now. He is a decent defender maybe but Leicester want this much high amount of money because of not being very willing to let him go actually. But Chelsea can still be insistent to finish the deal as they want to add one last centre-back to the team. I think Leicester would accept this offer.

I think the urgency of Chelsea need to strengthen their defense makes them ready to spend a lot of money to sign this player, as they did when chelsea signed Cucurella for a price which was also quite high at £62 million, so I think chelsea will also not hesitate to make a good offer quite fantastic for one of these leicester defenders, now chelsea are reportedly ready to break the record for most expensive defender held by maguire in 2019 because chelsea have bid Wesley Fofana more than 80 million pounds at this time, and obviously that is an amount of money that looks like it will be very difficult rejected by leicester city.

Chelsea have a very large budget and have been preparing for it for quite a long time, now is the time to spend that money to buy players who according to management have good qualifications and of course full maturity because they will not just buy people without good consideration.

Sterling is a good buy for Chelsea ,and City will miss him....Gabriel jesus as well...I still have this feeling that pep messed up in letting them leave for cheap these are 75m players cuz Brighton sold a left back for 60m....pep doesn't know how to keep good players.when he sold sane I felt so so bad..but he was still able to manage the team..let's see wat halland and Alvarez has in stock for us..I just they fear after watching the community shield..i hope heget the epl again after letting 4 vital players leave at a cheap price..how can city sell zichenko for 30m and now they couldn't find any left back for 30m as replacement.

Mind you, Leicester is asking for 80m in £ which is equal to €95m. A very abused price, higher than Maguire which turned out to be the worst deal but that's another story. I still can't believe they rejected €75m offer from Chelsea!
Now I heard that Navas could join Napoli. I mean Donnarumma is a good goalkeeper but Navas is still one of the best, that guy is very underrated unfortunately..

this is absolute nonsense, there is no way a defender should be worth £80 million, obviously, the indication is that they are not willing to let this player go because they already declined a €75 m offer from Chelsea, i really do not think Chelsea should offer more money for this player

Gianluigi Donnarumma is playing for PSG, he is already one of the top players in the world, a lot of people do not agree with that because he is a lot younger, right now i think he is actually better compared to Navas
but Navas is also very talented, my personal opinion is that if anyone asks me about these two, i will say that Donnarumma is most likely to be my choice

Mertens is ready to play as free again in Turkey.

I always wondered what will happen to Mertens after his contract end at Napoli but glad to see him find a new team and Galatasaray are one of the top teams in Turkish League so a good move for Mertens. I hope he contributes a lot there. Torreira is also a good player. Galatasaray are definitely getting some top signings for them. Will be interesting to see how they perform in their league now.

After spending a long time with Napoli now Mertens will try his adventure with Galatasaray, Mertens leaving to Galatasaray is one of his love for Napoli even though Napoli has refused to extend his contract but Mertens took the attitude not to play in Serie A and chose Galatasaray as his goal, actually In addition to Galatasaray, Mertens is also in demand by several Serie A clubs such as Juventus, Lazio, and Inter and even some media say that Juventus is ready to pay him more than the salary he has received so far in napoli, but because Mertens doesn't want to betray Napoli, that's why he chose Galatasaray, even though Mertens is now 35 years old, I think he can still compete with other young strikers in Turkey.

They are trying to make money after years of spending billions.

Pretty reasonable to let some of their key players .. but to let them go at a cheaper amount that they actually could get just shows how bad their director on making decisions.
Sterling must be leaving in fuming and he might play with extra effort to prove manchester city have made a huge mistake. Haaland and alvarez could become a flop .. that's what i believe.

I hate the fact that Pep sold Raheem, still can't believe sterling is wearing the Chelsea jersey
and I think Mancity shot themselves in the foot. Raheem Sterling will punish City when they meet
And Congratulations on Chelsea's victory at Goodison Park since 2017 in the first match of the Premier League's first week
Sterling was a threat in that game, a nice debut

Mertens is ready to play as free again in Turkey.

Galatasaray made two significant transfers in the form of Lucas Torreira and Mertens. But I am a wee bit surprised that they actually got Lucas Torreira, a 26 year old youngster for free.

I know how the transfer works. But whenever I see a relatively young player being transferred as a free agent, I cannot help but be a bit surprised.
And for Mertens, there is not much time left in his career. Already 35 years old. Not willing to be surprised if this is the last team that he plays for.

[izsara]

Kostic to Juventus almost here we go.

When he speaks I will not hesitate to say Kostic will play for Juventus next season.
Well this is another addition that is quite profitable for Juventus because indeed he will be a pretty good role especially with the condition of Pogba missing there.
It's quite a good move from Juventus at the moment by bringing in midfielders because indeed some of their midfielders are currently in trouble.

I read some reports that Mertens was open to take a deep cut in his salary but Napoli didn't renew it and so he has no option but to leave as free agent. Mertens is also a good player and has helped Napoli a lot. I am just glad he found a good team to play from. I am not sure about other teams and yeah I also agree that playing for another Serie A club won't be in his mind given his history with Napoli so yeah Galatasaray seemed likely.

I have actually heard that Napoli was willing to renew the contract of the player. But he did not agree to the contract which was offered by Napoli to him.
Honestly, I don’t know what’s right and what’s wrong. But I think rather than talking about what happened in the past, we should talk about the future.
And I think the future is going to be good with Mertens & his new team.

Well Man City has a lot of winger and attackers and i just think they didnt need Sterling. Plus Sterling started most of the matches from the bench so probobly he wanted to leave aswell the club. But it will be intresting when he plays Man City to see what will happen

[Unknown01]

Galatasaray have bought some really great players this year including Mertens, Torreira, Oliveira, Seferovic and Dubois. These players are all very strong & good and will greatly strengthen the team. Since Galatasaray is only playing in the Turkish league this year, they will want to win the title there and are currently the clear favourite.

Things are getting more difficult for christiano Ronaldo,  I wonder where he will be going to after some club have shown no interest in signing him. I think Manchester United is the only place that can accommodate Ronaldo , I wish Ronaldo will understand that and do what he knows best for the club.

There is nothing he can do but stay at United. But indeed his current attitude is not very good in fact there are some rumors about him not starting in their opening match in the EPL this season and the possibility that he will play as a substitute due to his behavior that left even before the match ended on the tour some time ago.

No doubt about Ronaldo's quality as a player, but one must say that he was always extremely egoistic. I remember so often when his teammates scored a goal, you could really see that he was unhappy it wasn't him who scored. He certainly is not a team player, but one of the best solo players of all time. In terms of assists, Messi outcompetes Ronaldo by far.

Now he is stuck and I really don't believe he is willing to play Europa League. I guess he will be trying till the very last day to go to another club. What I don't understand is that he isn't willing to charge a lesser salary. I mean come on, he might be turning into a billionaire anyway, maybe he already is. So why not play for just 15 million instead of 30?

The problem is that it would be useless if he did selfish things by creating a ruckus like this now, even if he wanted to move but with his current condition it was clear that this would be very difficult and this made him even more frustrated. What he has to do now is accept that he will play at United again and continue the season as usual because that is a good thing instead of having to make noise everywhere with the excuse of wanting to move that he won't even be able to get.

I still doubt whether he is really worth that much now. He is a decent defender maybe but Leicester want this much high amount of money because of not being very willing to let him go actually. But Chelsea can still be insistent to finish the deal as they want to add one last centre-back to the team. I think Leicester would accept this offer.

They should get lads not from England for such a price and I'll know they're worth it. I think Wesley Fofana for such a price is overrated and over priced, makes me reminiscing the sale of Harry Maguire from Leicester City to Manchester United.

Its now up to Chelsea is take them conclusion, he is no bad player, but, that transfer fee is just too much. Chelsea needs to bring in the players that fits in for Thomas Tuchel.

They are also interested in Daniele Rugani from Juventus.
They are making a good team be in the Champions League.

And yes they should win easily their league.

Indeed. There are too many wingers in Man City, they don't need Sterling. But they shouldn't sell him to the rival in EPL competition. I think Sterling is a good winger, he potentially makes a difference in a match. Man City will regret it if in the future Man City will be defeated because of Sterling's power. Ideally, Sterling needs to be sold on the club outside of EPL competition.

I agree that Sterling is better to be sold on a club in a different league. But Chelsea may be the most club interested to sign Sterling, they want to pay high transfer fees. Not all clubs are interested to sign Sterling, moreover to pay high transfer fees and give a high salary for him. Man City and Sterling probably consider that Chelsea is the club that seriously fulfills what Man City and Sterling want.

[Captain Corporate]

Raheem Sterling is not the type of player you would like to just send off, he was a great player, I have no idea why he was sent off like that. I get that it shouldn't something to care about, but I do not keep myself from being annoyed about it. I am neither a city fan nor a chelsea fan and not even a sterling fan. But when a team makes decisions like this on a season they seem to have the highest chance of making it big? It makes me feel like if they end up getting a loss eventually in UCL, and go back and think if they kept Sterling and made him play on later minutes or when someone is injured, would they instead win it? That "what if" is always quite bad.

[Velvet78]

It looks like the Frenkie de Jong situation is coming to an end at the moment. He has been reported that he has accepted a pay cut to continue to play for Barcelona. I understood his not being interested in joining Manchester United but there was a good possibility for him to sign for Chelsea actually. Barcelona must be very satisfied with this decision of him. If they sold him then they were going to start looking for another midfielder this time which would not be very easy.

But if Sterling isn't needed by Manchester City, why should they keep him for the team?  If the coach believes there is a better player in that position than Raheem, then he should not be forced to sit on the bench, he would rather play for another club, but in the main squad and get consistent game practice
