⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[tarable]

Although Manchester City has made it obvious that they have no intention of allowing Silva go less than six months from now, Barcelona is still pursuing his signature.
Silva was initially on City's list of players to be sold because, in Pep Guardiola's opinion, he wasn't given enough priority in the first team's preparations. Silva has now assumed a crucial position in City's midfield and was a key contributor as they won the Premier League title the previous year.

Barcelona now has a goal in the 27-year-old despite their ongoing financial difficulties, which prevented them from signing all of the players they wanted this summer.

Barcelona understand very well in seeing players who can have good potential for long-term projects. Bernardo Silva is the kind of player I mean. If Silva is not included in Pep's plans this season, Barcelona will try to get the 27-year-old. Big names Barcelona will make it easy to bring in the targeted players, regardless of their financial condition which is reportedly not good.

Barcelona's financial situation is very bad right now. Barcelona does not have the financial situation to add any new players to the squad. Firstly they spent a lot of money to buy players. Secondly according to the rules of fair play several players on their team cannot stay with the squad. Barcelona is now trying to reduce the wages of the players. And Barcelona has been cutting players' wages for the last 2/3 years. But I would love to see Bernardo Silva with Barcelona. He is a very talented player.

I have heard that Manchester United have been offered to sign Alvaro Morata now. On the other hand, I don't think that Manchester United are in search of a striker now. They are keeping Ronaldo for this season so they would lean towards improving the other positions in the team. For example signing a midfielder would be very helpful as we have said before. Rabiot is expected to sign for them for now but if it doesn't happen I hope they can sign another decent player.

@Velvet78 Manchester United have been hunting for a striker and I’m not surprised that they’re being linked to him, but I wonder will he want to come to play for a club who’s transfer business is in a mess. Also Ronaldo may exit and Martial is injured, hence a striker is a priority for the club but again I’m really doubtful about this transfer taking place.

But apart from that, Barcelona managed to bring in players who were also in demand by other big European clubs such as Lewandowski and Raphinha. This is an extraordinary thing in my opinion even though by law, Barcelona are trying to cut the salaries of some players. However, Barcelona's efforts could be hindered to get Silva if the club that owns the player, namely Manchester City, charges a high price.

After failed to get Antony from Ajax then Manchester United will looking for new forward player and recently they linked to Watford player Ismaila Sarr and seems they had good chance to get Sarr because after relegated to championship league Watford has decided to sell some of their players and Ismaila Sarr confirmed into their sell lists but price tag for him was quite expensive 40 millions pounds

Last season Sare's performance was quite good and if I'm not mistaken a lot of clubs wanted his services in last summer's transfer but indeed this winger was not released by Watford.
At this time, United's interest is returning, considering that after they failed to bring in Antony, it seems that the opportunity is open for Sarr, especially after Watford were relegated because they indirectly have to sell some of their star players and Sarr is definitely included there.

Ismaila Sarr can be used as an alternative because it has been confirmed that Manchester United will not get Antony from Ajax Amsterdam. However, the problem is that the price that Watford has installed for Ismaila Sarr is too expensive, Manchester United must spend more to bring Sarr to Old Trafford. options are getting smaller for Manchester United, Ten Hag must move quickly before the transfer closes, Sarr can be an option because other talented players are no longer available in the transfer market or they don't want to play for Manchester United because Ten Hag team did not qualify for the Champions League.

Manchester United is a little confused about what they really want in the club. Erik ten Hag don't need a striker, rather a defensive Midfielder that will be supportive to Eriksen position, because Christian Eriksen is so creative that he delivers and make absolutely 100% crosses into the opponents box. United defend and Midfield is not that sharp to start with, Harry Maguire, Dalot and Luke Shaw both make punishable errors at the backline of the game. While the Midfield, Mctominay and Fred always makes mistakes and not always available to make decisive passes when necessary.

You are actually right if you say United need a proper DM but saying that United doesn't need a striker I don't agree with that. United need a proper striker aside CR7. Martial is not reliable

[execijutiere]

Fenerbahce have started to accelerate their striker transfer. Batshuayi, who played for Besiktas on loan last year, is on the agenda. On the one hand, there will be efforts to transfer Valencia's striker maxi gomez and on the other hand batshuayi. Valencia wants 12 million euros for Gomez. Fenerbahçe insists on not paying that much.

Not too big an opportunity was given to Timo Werner by Tuchel at Chelsea. Prior to joining Chelsea, I was very attracted to him because of the speed and skill he had during his time at RB Leipzig.
Werner stats at Chelsea are also quite good even though his playing minutes are not as expected.
Chelsea's decision to sell Timo Werner to RB Leipzig after joining in 2020 in my opinion is a wrong thing. They should reconsider.

Werner is a quality player and age factor is also still in his favor, but sadly he is not in good list of Tuchel which is big setback for this quality player even his stats are much better but may be this is going to be good decision for him, and he could be in good shape at Leipzig with his natural game and better minutes at ground. With the arrival of Sterling at Chelsea Tuchel and management both were not comfortable with him, and now he is back to his native club which is surely a positive for him and surely a bad decision for Chelsea because he still can do much better in coming season.

Hopefully now again in Leipzig he will have regular time and good support from all others for having another good season and good change of fortune which will give him better future place in any big club.

Timo Werner is only 26 years old and is currently suffering from a Hamstring injury which he has suffered since Jul 28, 2022 and is expected to return in Mid August 2022.
The decision to return to RB Leipzig is very good for him in order to maintain the opportunity to play with the country (Germany) in the World Cup.

For some reason I feel that Timo Werner's move to RB Leipzig makes me worried if he will be back in interest by Chelsea one day. At least one season he played in the Bundesliga, there will definitely be a club from England who will sign him like the story of Mo. Salah, although not necessarily the reality will be as you think.

Martial wasn't reliable but he showed he is still useful for the club. Unfortunately his injury prevent him to prove his usefulness. CR7 alone isn't enough for the moment, he needs to collaborate with Eriksen to be threatening.
Adding a good striker is always welcome but who? Almost all good players were picked by other teams.. ManU transfer window isn't that top and they found high concurrence from the other clubs.

Remember the good old days player's seems to be reluctant with the switch to Manchester United and Sir Alex Ferguson ( The Gaffer ) will fly into another country to hunt for players ? Recall how he brought in Javier Hernandez Chicharito ?
Manchester United needs a complete number 9. Cristiano Ronaldo should be player on the left wing and the number nine dropping deep for him just as it was at Real Madrid. Also, after the season or half of it, Ronaldo needs to leave Manchester United,it's rebuilding stage.

Arsenal have been said to be going for Milan midfielder Tonali. It is said that Milan want 46 million pounds for him too. Tonali transfer would be really great for Arsenal for the defensive midfield. He is much younger than the current players and he has a really nice talent too. But this transfer wouldn't be good for Milan because they would have only Bennacer left in this position. They will need to find a defensive midfielder as good as Tonali because he has been one of the valued players for the team.

[MinoRaiola]

A talent from the own youth has now extended at Juventus. It's Nicolo Fagioli. He played the last season for Cremonese and has played really dood there. Now he is to stay at Juventus, not be loaned out and has signed a contract until 2026. He is only 21 years old and will probably play for the Italian national team soon. I see great potential in him, like a nedved in his younger years - cool and calm.

I think Man United need a new defensive midfielder and a striker at the same time because it is an effort they have to take for a better solution for them. There is no good flow from the back line to the front line, that's why they need a water carrier, at least it will improve their ball possession and rhythm. Cavani has left Man United, Martial is also injured (and last season he didn't have much opportunity to play), while Ronaldo is still whining to leave. So Man United does need a new striker, and for that Ten Hag needs to take action as soon as possible because the transfer window will close soon.

The main problem Manchester United is facing right now is its own players are not happy with the team and also the club. One of the main reasons for that is there is no Chemistry between the players. Manchester United is also facing another problem, which is that they will not participate in the Champions League this season. So players are obviously not very interested in signing for Manchester United right now. I think that is the reason why they were not able to get De Jong on the team.

When I look at the Manchester United squad right now, I must say that they lack both midfielders and attackers. And honestly, I don't think they will be able to solve those problems because of what I mentioned earlier.

I agree Werner didn't fail miserably at Chelsea, but he didn't get more chances. He is not able to compete with other strikers who have better goal statistics. Werner has made 56 appearances in the last 2 seasons in the Premier League and he only scored 6 goals and 8 assists in the 2020/2021 season in 35 appearances and 4 goals and 1 assist in the 2021/2022 season in 21 appearances. That's why Tuchel has no patience for him, he's decreasing instead of increasing.

If he fails to compete with other Chelsea strikers, which strikers do you mean? There are no productive center-forwards on Chelsea squad right now, they only have Batshuayi and Broja. I don't think these strikers are better than Werner. 
I think Tuchel is too hurry to sell Werner, they have no quality strikers on their squad. I cannot imagine how Chelsea to face this season if they fail to sign a new top striker. So far, they only signed Sterling, but Sterling isn't a center-forward, he can't replace the role of Werner.
Anyway, I agree that the stats of Werner in Chelsea isn't quite impressive. But I think Tuchel contributed to the decline in his performance. Tuchel cannot motivate him well and he may use a strategy that isn't suitable for Werner's play of style.

yes chelsea did not have any long-term plans for timo werner, and he somehow got to know that, that is why he left chelsea so quickly

otherwise, he could have stayed at chelsea and obviously could have performed better next season, i really think chelsea could have used this player, as you have also mentioned, i also don't think that borja and batshuayi are in any way better than timo werner

obviously, his performance at chelsea was poor, but i believe he should have been given a little more time

News sources are still claiming that the Bernardo Silva transfer will happen for Barcelona. There are even rumours like both sides are going to agree on a transfer fee worth above £40m. However I think that it will be no more than rumours still. Because Manchester City clearly stated that they had no intention of selling him in the near future. Barcelona just know where to stop as well. They don't need especially Silva now as the current squad is quite capable for achieving their goals.

If Barcelona is also buying Bernardo Silver and paying 40 M pounds for him (48 Million €), then i completely lose the faith in the financial fairplay and of course also in the mental healthiness of the people that are in charge of the financials of FC Barcelona. I just read a report that Lewandowski is still not registered for the LaLiga because Barcelona simply has no money for that and probably needs to sell some of their property, like TV rights or ownership shares of their own TV channel in order to be able to register Lewandowski and still they want to continue to sign new players. Bernado Silva should stay at ManCity there he can at least be sure, that he will receive his salary.

Arsenal have been said to be going for Milan midfielder Tonali. It is said that Milan want 46 million pounds for him too. Tonali transfer would be really great for Arsenal for the defensive midfield. He is much younger than the current players and he has a really nice talent too. But this transfer wouldn't be good for Milan because they would have only Bennacer left in this position. They will need to find a defensive midfielder as good as Tonali because he has been one of the valued players for the team.

Arsenal have already bid 50 million pounds for this player if I am not mistaken. This is a really significant amount of money for Tonali. However, if Milan let Sandro Tonali move, they might not find a player as good as him in that position. So even though the money is really lucrative, is it enough to be worth risking? 

They are also defending the Italian League title this season. This means that they must build a team that is capable of being reliable. They will not be able to rely on much reliability if they are making this change in my opinion. I think they will be able to find a competent player who can replace him for this amount of money but will he be as effective as Tonali?

Manchester united has no need for a striker. They have to handle the most pressing issues first before you talk about less pressing issues. Manchester United cannot have the likes of Fred and Mc Tommy in their midfield and be talking of getting a striker. If Ronaldo is finally available, he will do decent job for united in striking position. Anthony Martial is a great talent that will also lead the attack for Manchester United. Apart from these two, Rashford was also a striker before a he became a winger. Manchester United need a DM and CD and not a striker.

Last season Sare's performance was quite good and if I'm not mistaken a lot of clubs wanted his services in last summer's transfer but indeed this winger was not released by Watford.
At this time, United's interest is returning, considering that after they failed to bring in Antony, it seems that the opportunity is open for Sarr, especially after Watford were relegated because they indirectly have to sell some of their star players and Sarr is definitely included there.

Ismaila Sarr can be used as an alternative because it has been confirmed that Manchester United will not get Antony from Ajax Amsterdam. However, the problem is that the price that Watford has installed for Ismaila Sarr is too expensive, Manchester United must spend more to bring Sarr to Old Trafford. options are getting smaller for Manchester United, Ten Hag must move quickly before the transfer closes, Sarr can be an option because other talented players are no longer available in the transfer market or they don't want to play for Manchester United because Ten Hag team did not qualify for the Champions League.

Manchester United should make smart decisions because they have spent a lot of unnecessary money before and that did not work out well for them at all. Manchester United is in the process of transferring players quickly. Because of this, many clubs will be able to make some extra money from them during this period. I am hearing that Leeds United is also very interested in Ismaïla Sarr.

Between these two, Manchester United is clearly the better team. But for any player right now, switching to Manchester United is basically equivalent to putting his career into uncertainty. And that is the reason why Manchester United are not being able to successfully chase any player whomever they are targeting.
