⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Minecache]

As there were several rumors that FC Bayern could be interested in signing Jude Bellingham, FC Bayern CEO Oliver Kahn has now spoken on the subject and has denied a possible transfer.

The German Sportbild newspaper reports on the topic:

In an interview with @SPORTBILD, Oliver Kahn was asked if Bayern are among the teams interested in Jude Bellingham: "Of course Jude Bellingham for me is an outstanding player. However, with Kimmich, Goretzka, Sabitzer and Gravenberch, we're very well equipped in this position. So we're not thinking about that at all"

Personally, I think that's the right decision. FC Bayern has a strong midfield and another expensive transfer costing millions is definitely not necessary at the moment.

As far as I can tell, Bayern Munich's weakest point at the moment is the fact that they do not have a prolific goal scorer on the team. There is no doubt that they are having some difficulties scoring goals since Robert Lewandowski left the team. At the same time, Bayern Munich's performance dropped drastically. Currently, I don't think they have any major problems in their midfield areas so I think it would be a good idea if they went for a striker in order to resolve that problem. Consequently, they will not have to play wingers as strikers.

Bringing in Cristiano Ronaldo as the main striker of the team would be the best move to make. Because Cristiano Ronaldo wants to leave the team and in Bayern Munich, he is going to have a good performance I believe.

Bellingham and Musiala are both wonderkids playing in the same position. Their market values are very near each other also. I think that any of them would be a great choice for Liverpool. However I don't think they will be alone in these races. But Liverpool really need a solid midfielder now. They can't go on with Harvey Elliott in the whole season. Maybe these players are also very young like Elliott but I think Bellingham - Musiala duo are more talented.

I assume that it would be easier to convince Dortmund for Bellingham rather than Bayern Munich. Because Dortmund are already accustomed to selling this kind of skilled youngsters after some time passes. Bayern Munich are more like the buyer kind of a team when it comes to this kind of promising players.

Marcus Rashford only has 8 months left on his contract and I think it's a pretty short amount of time. So it's a bit surprising that Man United hasn't offered Rashford a contract extension considering Rashford has progressed quite well after Ten Hag coached Man United. There are rumors that Barcelona and Arsenal are eyeing Marcus Rashford. If Man United doesn't give enough concern to Rashford's future then Man United might lose Rashford, and that would really be the worst if Rashford leaves on a free transfer.

There are speculations that Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe gave the club five potential signings as part of negotiations to extend his contract. And Marcus Rashford was one of the players he wanted. Rashford is still young and has the ability the improve, hence Manchester United might be making a very big mistake if they let him leave freely. If Neymar leaves PSG, Rashford might be a very good replacement.
Barcelona really utilized the summer transfer market, hence they have a lot of quality players which would make Rashford not play regularly. 

Bringing in Cristiano Ronaldo as the main striker of the team would be the best move to make. Because Cristiano Ronaldo wants to leave the team and in Bayern Munich, he is going to have a good performance I believe.

For me, Cristiano Ronaldo should be thinking of retiring from football. He has won everything except the world cup. His performance is dwindling daily and age is also affecting him negatively. I know he is still strong and ambitious to win trophies but I think his glory days are coming to an end. He should remain in Manchester United and help them win trophies, maybe he might attract some teams. But Ronaldo would not be a good signing for Bayern Munich. The team needs a young striker that can last for a longer time.

TyCSports is reporting that the FC Bayern is interested in signing Internazionale striker Lautaro Martínez:

His agent Alejandro Camaño: "I wouldn’t be surprised because there are always enquiries. But today Lautaro has very clear ideas. He thinks about Inter and the World Cup"

"Anything can happen in the future. Inter are not in the best moment, but they’re a great team and a wonderful place. No one rules out other clubs appearing strongly on the market for him, but he is in no hurry. We'll see what happens"

Source: https://twitter.com/iMiaSanMia/status/1577695485682384896

Martínez is performing well this season and is on the verge of making a move to one of Europe's top clubs. However, the 25-year-old still has a contract until 30.06.2026 and his market value is estimated at €75m.

The long-term contract and the high market value make a smooth transfer to FC Bayern at the current time pretty unlikely. IMHO, Bayern won't pay that much for a new striker.

However, should Bayern not become Bundesliga champion this season and also perform worse in the CL, the topic could become interesting again in the summer.

I read this news in Local news.
According to agent Alejandro Camano, Martinez still wants to focus on playing at Inter Milan even though it has been said that many European clubs have become his targets but he will not focus there but at Inter Milan with his Argentine National team to face the World Cup in Qatar 2022 later in a few months.
Although it is possible that with time he could leave but I am sure he will still stay given the high market price and obviously Bayern Munich will not sign him, although there will be negotiations later but I think this is still too expensive for Martinez's players this.

Ronaldo is a very ambitious player, he has never been satisfied with what he has got so far. Retirement is not on his mind yet, he will continue to play to set new records even though he knows at an old age it is very difficult to compete for a place in the main squad. He is just waiting for his contract with Manchester United to finish, then he will look for a new club that can give him a chance to play in the Champions League. Because the reason he wanted to move from Manchester United at the beginning of last season just to play in the Champions League.

Mate, Martinez is a good striker but I think €75m is too expensive for him. Bayern Munich may be able to fulfill Inter's request for Martinez, but I don't think this transfer will happen easily. After all, Inter also haven't got another striker who can replace Martinez so I don't think Inter want to let him go to Bayern Munich in the next transfer window.

The long-term contract and the high market value make a smooth transfer to FC Bayern at the current time pretty unlikely. IMHO, Bayern won't pay that much for a new striker.

You're right, Bayern Munich will probably get another alternative later. But let's see later.

Because the reason he wanted to move from Manchester United at the beginning of last season just to play in the Champions League.

but in reality, Ronaldo did not get an offer from a club playing for the Champions League. Before convincing other clubs to sign him, I think Ronaldo must show the quality of his performance that has not dried up.
only a few opportunities for Ronaldo to play in the main squad. even now, Ronaldo has not scored a single goal in the Premier League.
a player as expensive as Ronaldo looks bad now at Man United. The winter transfer market will probably be a new step for Ronaldo. hopefully, he really can still compete with other young players.

[KTChampions]

If Rashford has ambition, he will never move to PSG, a club made up of capricious stars. And Ligue 1 is not the place where you will improve your skills after the Premier League. By the way, I'm surprised that Rashford's contract expires in the summer - it turns out that United have every chance of losing this player for free. Sadly.

If Rashford joins PSG then I doubt his playing time there. It's because they already have a great trio of Neymar, Mbappe and Messi. I don't think that Galtier would like to change this trio that easy as long as one of them doesn't want to leave the team next summer. Each one of them is a better player than Rashford now. So if we see Rashford joining them under these conditions he would most probably be a substitute of these players mostly.

Besides yeah, Manchester United are really in danger of losing a talented young player like him for free. Rashford doesn't seem like he is eager to sign a new contract now. Or I wonder if Manchester United haven't even tried yet? The same thing happened with Pogba also and they let him go for free. If they don't do anything about Rashford too then it will happen again.

With Pogba it was a different story as the club were willing to let him go in order to get rid of the burden of his big salary. Another thing is that it was possible to earn money on the transfer, but even such an outcome suited everyone.
I disagree about Rashford and PSG - firstly, Messi is obviously ending his "big" career, he cannot be a priority for PSG even if he remains in the team. In addition, the possibility of leaving Neymar also exists. But even Messi's place for Rashford will be enough.

BAYERN LEVERKUSEN has a new coach

The former Bayern Munich midfielder, the former Real Madrid midfielder and a legend of Liverpool fc has been appointed the new Head coach of Bayern Leverkusen. It is a nice appointment and a good honour to the midfield maestro. I am quite skeptical that Leverkusen is rather a big club, so that he won't make the Lampard mistake.
I can say that Alonso did not do too well when he was with The Sociedad B team. It could be that he doesn't have quality players. I welcome him to the big stage of football as a professional coach.

After Tuchel refuse the offers from Leverkusen management then they immediately looking for another options and Xabi Alonso name appears as one of the candidated and apparently the management has decided to choose Alonso and he has difficult jobs to lifted up Leverkusen performance considering this team currently at relegated zone on Bundesliga standings league because only can able to win once from 8 matches and regarding his experience indeed as a manager he has lack of experience but as a player he know the culture and Bundesliga atmosphere because he was 5 years playing for Bayern Munich

It seems like tuchel didn't wanna try to deal with the club that was in the relegation zone. It seems like the owner of leverkusen will be giving a very big target for the new coach. Just wanna see how xabi will be complete the target that already given to him. It seems very difficult to make it happen.

Ronaldo is very ambitious as you said, we should not be surprised to see Messi retire before Ronaldo. This is because Messi has just announced today that this year's world cup will be his final world cup. But we cannot hear this type of statement from Ronaldo because he feels he is still strong and energetic to face the world of football.
I am not sure if Bayern Munich will offer Ronaldo more than 2yrs contract because they will rather look for a younger striker to replace Lewandowski and not Ronaldo. If they sign Ronaldo by January it could be to serve as a placeholder till the season finish and they get a younger striker.

[izsara]

It is now clear that United do not want Rashford to leave and it is clear from the statement that Ten Hag has said that they will not sell Rashford no matter what.
Ten Hag knows this season he is in dire need of this young player and until now despite several names in attack he has still started several United games.

He will never sell rashford but the performance from team may change the way of rashford thinking about the club. If united will not able to finish into the top 4 and this gonna be a big problem for MU. Rashford may thinking to leave from the team to move to the promising team than MU. Some clubs have been aiming him in the next transfer season consider his performance which is good. I think that the situation is also conditional and it can change anytime following what's decision that will be taken by the player.
Rashford can surprisingly leaving from MU too. The possibility will always there

The possibility is always there, but with the assurances he is currently in the first-team squad there might be another comparison.
We know that Rashford was also rumored to be leaving in the summer transfer window but this was muted and now there are rumors like this again.
This could be something of a long drama because still Manchester are still not budging on this and will continue to keep Rashford away.

[FanEagle]

The idea that Haaland has a "release clause for Real Madrid" never made sense anyway, if he wanted to leave for Real directly instead of City, I am sure he would have been bought by Real too, and they would be glad to pay something tiny for his talents, like 60-70 million, and then pay him too, they were ready to pay triple to PSG just for Mbappe, so he would be easily accepted at Madrid.

The rumor started by Haalands father who said he wants to play at 5 big leagues, and already done 2 of them, so Real at his prime made sense, doesn't mean it has to be a clause, when his contract is over, he could just simply leave for them for free, that's the problem for them.

Bayern munich would never sell Musiala to any club this youngster has a bright future in the colours of Bayern he would be price out by his club thus Liverpool will definitely keep off, meanwhile Bellingham will jump at any opportunity to sign for Liverpool if Dortmund and Liverpool agreed on his sign-on fee, of course Dortmund is synonymous with selling of their talented youngsters to big clubs thus recouping their investment in such players whom they signed cheaply that is indeed a massive profits, the likes of Abumeyang, Haaland, Manuel Akanji etc are products of that club, it's obvious that Bellingham will also follow suit in that order to big club.

Yes I think so too but that depends on how far the other club is willing to go for the player with the bid and negotiations. Musiala is a great talent and Bayern Munich will obviously like to keep him but there are lot of eyes on him. Any big bid might tempt the club or any pre negotiation from players side also push things internally for a transfer. There are more eyes on Bellingham however and it will be a good war between those clubs in the transfer window for the player. Liverpool might go quite far for their player as they don't have a strong mid and Klopp has admitted that they need a strong player in a mid to fill that void but it has to be the right one for them and I think Bellingham fits in quite well.

The team might not benefit from Sancho and Antony as much as Rashford and Antony on the wings. I'd rather put Rashford up front now that it's obvious Ronaldo is out of shape. Despite having a chance to score, Ronaldo's luck once again ran out as he wasn't performing well tonight. I think Rashford was playing at his right flank position tonight, so playing him in the top 9 doesn't sound technical to me. Rashford's speed and pace are urgently needed by Manchester United. This season, Rashford has played in 8 games and scored 5 goals. He's been in terrific form for Manchester United, so I hope he keeps it up. Ten Tang ought to start Ronaldo, Rashford, and Martial all at once for a more powerful squad.

He wanted to, but didn't find a club willing to take him on. He is a good player, but he has too high an opinion and only plays for money. At least that's the impression, couldn't he have lowered his wage demands? If he did, he would have been taken to any club he wanted... His mum said he would play until he was 40, which means he has 3 seasons left

It seems like Barcelona are close to happy ending about Griezmann. They have wanted to get rid of him for a long time and he has been on loan at Atletico Madrid for some time. Now it seems like he is nearly a permanent Atletico Madrid player officially.

Because it is said that Atletico Madrid have already triggered his obligatory buying option and there is no turning back from it. His permanent deal is expected be for 20 million euros + add-ons (€2m-8m). His annual salary now is €12.5m so Barcelona are going to get rid of a big load over their shoulders. It is important for them as they have spent a lot of money recently.

Musiala is a very important player in the development plan of Bayern Munich. I don't think they are going to let him go. We've seen before that Bayern Munich is more interested in buying players who cause trouble for them. Before, whoever gave them problems, they bought those players. But right now it feels like they are actually thinking about the future and keeping potential young players as part of their future plan. I also believe that Musiala knows that as well.

But Jude Bellingham, unlike Musiala, will probably move. Because I think Bayern Munich are also not very keen on keeping him. At least not like Musiala. Bellingham is someone who wants to seek any opportunity to prove himself. And I don't think he would mind playing for other clubs.

It looks like Barcelona's drama with Atletico is over for Griezman and soon he will officially return to being an Atletico player (not on loan).
With this option means Atletico managed to bring Griezman for half the price after they sold for 35 million and interestingly there is further news about this which to make Griezman's desire as an Atletico player also he is reportedly willing to cut wages for his new contract now.
