⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Gosgosking]

Barcelona manager Xavi has admitted he is increasingly concerned about the club's difficulties registering new signing Jules Kounde. The Blaugrana have freed up enough money to be able to register the rest of their new players.

Barcelona are trying to offload players to clear space under the salary cap, but the likes of Frenkie de Jong are not leaving the Camp Nou, as their wages are still suspended up to the €17m he has to pay.

It is very disappointing to see that Barcelona made expensive signings in the heat of their financial crisis and are unable to register players. Why make big signings if you cannot get them registered to play? They have to sell some more players to free up cash for registering players. The issue with Frankie's de Jong salary owed is not even resolved yet and nothing until now has been done about it.

I don't really understand why Barcelona would make such decisions to sign him players that they can not afford to manage,  it does not make any sense. Maybe before Barcelona might have taken such decisions they have plans on how to loan money maybe to settle their players.

While Chelsea are in need of a good striker, Aubameyang would be a great candidate to fill the place. However I don't know if he would perform as much as he has done at Barcelona so far. He doesn't seem willing to come back to the EPL as well. On the other hand his problem was related to Arsenal rather than the league. Therefore maybe things could be different at Chelsea.

When Chelsea were defeated by Leeds, it was very clear that Chelsea had a hard time scoring goals, because they didn't have a pure striker.
Even though Chelsea in the match created quite a lot of chances and also dominated the game. So the signing of Aubameyang is a good move
actually, but seeing the last two seasons with Arsenal Aubameyang's form has declined, I doubt Aubameyang is the right choice for Chelsea.
But if we look at Aubameyang's pretty good performance with Barcelona, looks like Aubameyang at Arsenal lost confidence after Arsenal's
performance was bad at that time. So hopefully my guess is wrong and Aubameyang can be successful with Chelsea. Since Pierre-Emerick
Aubameyang is likely to join Chelsea in the near future, because both Chelsea and Barcelona have reached an agreement on a price. After all,
Barcelona don't really want to sell Aubameyang. But because they couldn't register Jules Kounde, Barcelona were forced to sell Aubameyang to Chelsea.

Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel sees Aubameyang as Barca's top scorer of 13 goals in all competitions despite playing less than half a season at Camp Nou, so he still has it even at 33. Tuchel has previously worked with Aubameyang at Borussia Dortmund, the two winning the DFB Cup together in 2017.

He still has it on LaLiga and that doesnt mean that he will be playing as effective as that in Premier League. Its a whole different league and everyone knows that its the toughest league around. Chelsea is in a quick desperate needs of striker so they signed him, otherwise Tuchel would be favoring some other younger potential striker on his team

Young strikers are very much needed in Chelsea club because if they are to survive with other teams or with the club they definitely need young players. If the team does not have young players and skill and experience then the team will not be able to compete with other clubs.

This is the lowest i have ever seen of ronaldo, imagine coming on in the last four minutes, when he is not injured, Ronaldo played his cards all wrong. Now in a situation where Sancho, Rashford, Martial and even Elanga may start ahead of him. If he stays at United...he's a bench player. Nothing more. Impact sub. Or a plan B depending on the OPPOSITION. No longer a guaranteed starter, I think that he should make the bold move to those clubs interested in his transfer at least they will value him more than ETH, its a huge shame coming in to play in last four minutes of the game

[kawetsriyanto]

I believe that these things are no longer in Xavi's hands, Xavi has already done what he wanted with the players, and it has cost him a bit to register them,

It is Xavi's responsibility to decide the future of the players whether to stay or leave the squad. During the season, there should be some changes, Xavi will always continue to manage the squads/players. So, it doesn't make sense if it is not in Xavi's hands, Xavi always has the role regarding the players' matters.

however, I think they should not sell him, he is a fundamental piece for Barcelona , but I don't know what forces are pushing for this sale to take place, it can also be speculated that the Club needs some money, to be more liquid during the League and the UCL,

I don't think Aubameyang is a fundamental part of Barcelona squad. He only played for Barcelona for 1 season and he still can't prove anything that he has a big role to lead Barcelona to win any title. So, if Barcelona wants to sell him in this transfer window, we can't blame Barcelona, especially when Barcelona needs some fresh money to register another player which may play a more vital role. The latest rumor I heard is that Aubameyang agreed to move to Chelsea. So Barcelona doesn't need to force him to leave because he is going to leave with his own intention.

Chelsea do need young strikers so that their front line becomes stronger, but at this time there are not many young strikers that can be obtained by Chelsea in the transfer market and I also do not know in which position Cesare Casadei was bought by Chelsea at Inter Milan. Because of his age, the player is very young and can still be trained well to become a young striker in the Chelsea team.

In Football Transfers tweet, Chelsea and Barcelona have reached an agreement in which the London club will pay €22 million up front with an additional €5 million in variables, bringing Aubameyang closer to the Premier League club Chelsea.

I hope that will come a real thing. Look at how broken attacker chelsea against leeds. That makes there would not be a good execution for any ball that already passed. Chelsea needs a professional striker that can adapt with the situation in the club and strategy. Let's see whether aubameyang will be going to the stamford bridge or not. i hope that will become a real thing. I have been seeing so many players from barcelona were always performing good in chelsea.
Chelsea needs a pure striker. As far as i can see recee james was always become a key for chelsea to help the team in attacking opponents.

Don't forget that he also has experience in being in the EPL because before at Barcelona he had been at Arsenal for quite a long time so this was not too big a problem for him to keep up with the EPL.
I think this is a pretty good thing for Auba and it should be like this, his performance can still be used as a starting line-up not a rotation player.

[Smack That Ace]

Fofana to Chelsea seems likely to happen after the player met with Brendan Rodgers. I like Fofana, I think he's got big potential, but at the same time it seems that Chelsea is willing to pay around 80 million pounds to get him.

It might be that I'm just getting old and am used to much lower numbers - but it seems like crazy money for a player that still isn't among the best defenders - and might never actually become one.
That said - Chelsea needs a good CB and he's among the best in the league that are available for transfer. It's just too much money - but that's the overall state of the market.

I guess as the price of almost everything is increasing in the whole world, so does the price of players  .

There is no way he should be worth 80 million at all. We have seen what 80 million might bring in the form of Harry Maguire.

So whatever anyone says, I am not ready to see another 80 million transfer for a defender. But I think Chelsea can spend that type of money if they want to. The good news is Leicester City is Fofana's current team. So he does have Premier League experience. That is why I don’t think he will be an absolute flop like Harry Maguire. But then I remembered Harry Maguire came to Manchester United from Leicester City as well .

Now what Chelsea needs is a striker who is ready to play and become a mainstay in Chelsea's attack line. The talented young sticker is no longer available in the transfer market, Chelsea's purchase of Cesare Casadei for their long-term investment. Now that Chelsea are looking to sign an experienced striker, they have reached an agreement with Barcelona to hijack Aubameyang from Camp Nou.
Aubameyang can be a new hope for Chelsea to strengthen its attack line, because Aubameyang's goal-scoring instinct is very good.

Chelsea does have a shortage of attackers who can work as a team well and maybe the management has realized this so they are currently still looking for a striker who can be bought, Chelsea does have a strong plan to bring Aubameyang to Chelsea but still no one knows when it will be. This can happen because at this time Barcelona also still really needs Aubameyang as one of its best players.

The rumours about Frenkie de Jong to Manchester United are still on interestingly. I don't find this realistic because Manchester United have already signed Casemiro officially. They were looking for a defensive midfielder and they have found who they exactly wanted. There is no meaning in spending a lot of money for another midfielder when they already did the same for Casemiro. This news would be gone after some time I guess.

Why it isn't realistic? Don't you know that Casemiro and Frenkie de Jong have different positions? Casemiro is a defensive midfielder, while Frenkie de Jong is a central midfielder. Their nature/characteristics are different, Casemiro is good for defense but Frenkie is good for attacking. So, it is actually no problem to have them both in Man United squad. The problem is that Man United already has too many midfielders. Adding Frenkie to the squad means there is another player who is going to sit on the bench. Man United needs to sell some of their current midfielders to balance their midfield line.

I think Casemiro is a good piece of business, as it provides an immediate fix in the defensive midfield role. That besides the point, I feel that the Glazers are buying the love of fans. Clearly, Manchester United fans are not pleased with the board's activities. They've barely brought in any quality reinforcements this summer. The club spent almost the entirety of the summer pursuing Frenkie de Jong, a deal that never came close to fruition. So I think that thrm buying Casemiro automatically terminates De Jong’s pursuit . Because it’s the same holding midfield/defensive role. And one cannot go to the bench for the other.

So, it doesn't make sense if it is not in Xavi's hands, Xavi always has the role regarding the players' matters.

As a manager and coach of Barcelona, I believe Xavi Hernández has almost complete control over whether a player stays at Barcelona. I mean that is why he is the manager right? I know that there can be some exceptions where he will have to think about other variables. Occasionally, other people in authority might also have a say. But for the most part, it should be the manager who is responsible for taking critical decisions about the squad.

however, I think they should not sell him, he is a fundamental piece for Barcelona , but I don't know what forces are pushing for this sale to take place, it can also be speculated that the Club needs some money, to be more liquid during the League and the UCL,

I don't think Aubameyang is a fundamental part of Barcelona squad.

The latest rumor I heard is that Aubameyang agreed to move to Chelsea. So Barcelona doesn't need to force him to leave because he is going to leave with his own intention.

I really don’t think it is going to be detrimental for Barcelona if they do decide to sell Emerick Aubameyang. I agree with @kawetsriyanto because Barcelona needs money and this player is not someone who has too much emotional attachment to Barcelona like Messi or Xavi. So I believe Barca can let him go. In addition, the player shouldn't be opposed to this idea since he'll get more playing time at other clubs than he would if he stayed in Barcelona right now.

it's very obvious Ten hag does not like Ronaldo, Ronaldo will definitely fit in this current United squad, he's still fit and still have something to offer, I think he wants to leave Manchester United honorary that's why he's still skeptical about his move to another club, I'm very sure that he will be blaming himself for returning to Manchester United. He might be among the players who doesn't want Ten hag to come to Manchester united then, maybe that's why ten hag is sidelining him. He should just bear it and move to another club

This can happen because at this time Barcelona also still really needs Aubameyang as one of its best players.

Aubameyang prime has been passed and I don't think Barcelona still need him again after they sign Lewandowski, as you can see the previous 9 match he's never play anymore and become a substitute player. If Chelsea want to sign Aubameyang, Barcelona will get the advantage since they can sell Aubameyang with exact amount that they want. Chelsea had too many midfielder player, while they're lack of attacker, so Chelsea had no choice beside sign a new attacker.

Bruno Fernandes saying that his teammates' decisions must be respected, Bruno Fernandes revealed that he knows where Cristiano Ronaldo plans to play his game after this transfer window.

So far, Ronaldo has been linked with many big clubs, especially clubs that will compete in the Champions League, even last week, rumors of Ronaldo being linked again with Dortmund, however, until now there is no club that really needs Ronaldo's services. as well as dortmond who still refuse to recruit the star.
I think ronaldo will stay at Old trafford until his contract expires.

the reason erik made ronaldo a substitute, he spoke in his interview with sky sports before the game. erik ten hag made decisions purely out of team needs. I think what Erik did was right and proved, Man United won the game against liverpool.
I am sure, in the next match Ronaldo will be the starting lineup with several new players like Casemiro, plus Dest and Antony, and even then if Man United have obtained an agreement with Barcelona and Ajax, to bring them to Old Trafford.

Barcelona must sell either Depay or Aubameyang. As Chelsea is interested in Aubameyang, it is likely that Barcelona will decide to sell Aubameyang. Barcelona needs money, while Chelsea needs an experienced striker. The need for this was heightened after the 3-0 defeat against Leeds United. But I'm not sure how interested Chelsea is in Aubameyang. Also, I have yet to see any credible news regarding how much Chelsea is offering for Aubameyang.
