⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[uchegod-21]

As per Aubameyang, it'll take him 20+games before he scores five or six or seven goals for Chelsea, they should get a striker that those it week in week out. They should have gone for Erling Haaland when they actually moved for him.

And how many of such strikers are currently in the market, willing to leaving their current teams to join you, what you must understand is that every club wants a lethal striker that can bang in goals every week, but most times those strikers might not be available for purchase and the club then has to made do with the next best option. Aubameyang is not a bad striker imo, he gets a few goals every now and then, and he is definitely not in the level of Haaland, but like i said earlier, Haaland for example was never willing to join Chelsea or any other club other than City, thus the rejected teams have to move on till they scout someone of similar abilities.

Are you judging Aubameyang based on his past or his present performances? Aubameyang has played two matches for Chelsea fc in the matches he started, this is a good result and a nice stat. If Aubameyang is used well, he will get decent amount of goals than you expected. Especially now that Chelsea has Graham Potter who seems to understand how to use a striker than Tuchel.

According to Coyster, strikers are scarce to find, especially those super talented ones. That is why good strikers like Benzema and Lewandowski are still in demand even at their old age. It is because new good strikers are hard to get.

Atlético Madrid has secured the services of Antoine Griezmann until 2026 on a permanent basis. I am glad Antoine returned to a permanent contract, the loan agreement conditions were ridiculous anyway. Despite the fact that he shouldn't have left in the first place, it's good to see him happy once again. There will be no more 30-minute cameos! It's business as usual at Atletico Madrid!

Atletico played Griezmann for 30 minutes due to financial situation. I'm glad they finally agreed with Barça. Barça may not have received 40 million euros from Griezmann, but they still made a profit. It was what both sides wanted. We missed watching Griezmann play for 90 minutes.

According to the source, Inter are seriously interested in signing Nathan Ake from Manchester City.

Ake is playing regularly these days and it is mostly 90 minutes also. Considering that maybe Manchester City might think twice before selling him. On the other hand, they were nearly doing so in the previous transfer window while Chelsea were after him too. Manchester City have 5 centre-backs at the moment. All of them are solid players so losing Ake wouldn't be much sad for the team for sure. His market value isn't even much now (€25m).

Inter have Skriniar and de Vrij as their best centre-backs. Inzaghi prefers a 3-5-2 flat formation and the third man there is Bastoni. Maybe they want to replace him with Ake to consolidate their defense line more. Because they haven't started well to the season and they are having some defensive issues and conceding goals easily.

He is a 27-year-old football player that I find successful. I am sure he will contribute to Inter. I don't know if the transfer will happen, but he will carry his success in the Premier League to Serie A. If he is transferred. I heard that Inter was interested in Merih Demiral. He can also be useful to Inter. Around this time, Inter will get a defender but let's see who they will get?

Chelsea has been scouting nkunku for acouple months now.

it's even reported that chelsea and nkunku have a pre-contract agreed , he is 24 years old having a successfull year with leipzig and chelsea yet trying to try another talent from leipzig after the werner flop.
i just seeing boehly had too exciting vision making it looks so random unplanned long term project really well for the fans like me.

Christopher Nkunku is a potential striker, he is still young and has good skills. But if we consider the productivity in scoring, I think André Silva is better. If Chelsea wants to sign one of Leipzig strikers who can bring an instant impact, I prefer to choose André Silva. Although André Silva isn't a part of Portugal national team, his quality seems as well as other Portugal top players. This season he already played 3 times, and he scored 2 goals and 1 assist.

I think the key agreement in the loan deal was related to his minutes. For the move to become automatically permanent, Griezmann would have had to play 45 minutes or more in 80 per cent of the matches for which he was available over the two year period. It’s a good deal for both parties in terms of player and Atletico Madrid's perspective but huge financial loss for Barcelona, but then taking him off their books counts for a plus as well.

Glad to see he was going back to the atletico madrid instead of becomes a player that doesn't have good future in barcelona. I have the same opinion like you about loan agreement which is preventing him to play a lot in atletico madrid. it seems like griezman much more suitable to play in atletico madrid rather than barcelona. This is his old home and he was going back to what is must be. It seems this can boost his performance as well.

After Atletico Madrid and Barcelona agreed to transfer Griezmann permanently, now Griezmann future has seen a bright spot at Atletico, he is fully an Atletico player and Diego Simeone can play Griezmann whenever he wants. Griezmann must thank Atletico for being willing to accept him back, if the transfer fails to reach an agreement between the two parties, Griezmann future will be bleak at Barcelona, because there he is no guarantee of a place in the first squad.

There's a bad news for Brighton & Hove Albion fans since Enock Mwepu who played on Central Attacking Midfielder will end his career on football since he have a serious heart condition. I think this is a reason why Brighton performance are quite decreased while they previously was on 4th position, now they're currently on 8th position.

Also Liverpool fans will be sad too since Luis Diaz have a knee injury and he's expected return on middle December, there's will be 10 match he will miss to play. I think this season Liverpool can't reach top 5 in Premier League since he's losing a good left winger.

Although Aubameyang has only scored two goals for Chelsea, I believe Aubameyang can score many more goals for Chelsea in the future.
Chelsea's move to sign Aubameyang in my opinion is quite appropriate, because Aubameyang is a good player and already has experience playing
in the Premier League. After all, Aubameyang's transfer fee is also not that expensive,

The fee Chelsea bought Aubameyang for was the perfect fee, anything more than that would be expensive considering Aubameyang has gone past his prime. He's still in good shape but can't be on the same levels as the young strikers we have currently. Broja for me is more in shape than him but since he's a long-term player we can keep in on the beach for we to get our money worth form Aubameyang. In regards to the goals, he (Aubameyang) hasn't played much for we to expect much gaols from him.

I believe when he get play frequently he'll get used to the team and have higher chances of scoring. From his two goals so far he looks like he still have some strength in him to score brilliant goals. His debut goal for Chelsea was phenomenal same as that of broja and that goes to show that we have striker that can keep us going in this campaign to win the champions league.

griezmann's contribution at barca is also not big, so the decision made by barca is very good. griezmann has a high salary and with the financial crisis that barca is facing, he is only a burden

from what I read, apart from the high salary, barca also found fraud committed by the ATM. griezmann is very suitable to play at Atletico Madrid, he has made a lot of contributions at Atletico Madrid

Retaining a player who has a big salary but has no contribution is the beginning of Barcelona financial problems so far and that's why releasing Griezmann permanently is the right step in my opinion, previously Griezmann performed quite well with Athletico but after being bought by Barcelona his performances became very bad and his contribution for barcelona is small enough that it is not commensurate with the big salary he has received so far, even if athletico did not act fraudulently in playing Griezmann but I think Barcelona should have sold Griezmann to stabilize their finances, now Griezmann has officially belonged to athletico and I hope he will be able to return to his best form in helping athletico win every game there is.

Rafael Leao, a Milan striker, reportedly has a €150m release clause in his contract which Paris Saint-Germain are ready to trigger. The significant release clause in Rafael Leao's contract at Milan is not expected to deter Paris Saint-Germain's interest.

Leao, 23, has established himself as one of the best attacking players in Serie A after joining for €35 million in 2019. He scored a career-high 14 goals across all club competitions in 2021-2022, and then he has had a great start the current season.

Will this contract issue really happen?

Rafael Leão's market value has tended to increase since Milan signed him from Lille a few seasons ago. Rafael Leão is known as a prolific striker in Milan due to his good goal stats which makes him the first high priced player in the current Milan squad by reference.

I'm not sure if PSG really want to get him at such a high price, but it's possible given PSG have a lot of funds. I would prefer PSG to extend the contracts of some of its players than activate Rafael Leão's release clause, but I don't know.

With the official statement that Antoine Griezmann has been made permanent by Atletico Madrid, he is now free to play at any time without the need to set minutes to play.
This certainty at the same time aborts the issue of the French striker's move to Manchester United, next January. this is better for him than returning to Barcelona, ​​because after all Griezmann will have more playing time than if he returned to Bacelona which incidentally has players in his position.
"This is a good deal and it's done," said Joan Laporta after agreeing to let Antonie go to Atletico Madrid.

Griezmann is a great player, hard worker and I really like a typical player like Griezmann.

There is some unconfirmed rumor about Real Madrid wants to have Erling Haaland from Man City as the replacement for Karim Benzema in 2024. Seems unlikely for now since I doubt Man City would part away with Haaland based on how much he has done and the money will be a huge issue cause Haaland is highly sought after his performance in the Premier League.
But then again still carries some merit as they planning this in 2024 season, a replacement for Karim Benzema at that time is understandable.

But then again still carries some merit as they planning this in 2024 season, a replacement for Karim Benzema at that time is understandable.

If Real Madrid is planning with Karim Benzema as their number one central striker until the end of the 23/24 season then i think this is a huge sign of trust from the club towards the player because in the summer of 2024 Benzema will be 36 years old already. Of course his last season wsa probably one of his strongest ones in the last 10 years or so but still the age also has an effect on him. He is definitely not as fast as he was a few years ago.
Regarding a potential Haaland transfer to Real: I heavily doubt that this will happen. Haaland has a contract until 2027 with ManCity and in 2024 he still has 3 years of contract left then, which means Real would have to pay a huge transfer fee of probably 150 M€+ if Haaland continues to perform. Also the salary demands of Haaland are pretty outrageous too. He gets more than 1 Million € per WEEK at ManCity at the moment.
Also it is still a long way to go until 2024 and everything can happen until then. Haaland can get injured or completely lose his form.

Rafael Leao is growing very rapidly with AC Milan, since being brought in from Lille, Leao has developed into a great forward. Not only productive
in scoring goals, but Rafael Leao also provided many assists to his colleagues at AC Milan. Therefore PSG are reportedly interested in signing Leao
in the January transfer market, especially since Messi and Neymar are likely to move next season. This means that PSG must prepare forward
players who can help Mbappe on the front lines, it looks like the 23-year-old Leao will fit in with Mbappe.

The problem is that PSG must pay a very high cost if they want to bring in Leao from AC Milan, because AC Milan was never interested in selling
Rafael Leao, meaning the only way to get Leao is by activating his €150 million release clause. Which I doubt PSG will do it, because since
Luis Campos became PSG's sporting director, it seems PSG are wiser in buying players. This means that PSG will likely not spend too much money
to buy players, moreover signing Leao is not something that is urgent for PSG.

You shouldn't have hyped up Haaland too much. In the EPL, we have witnessed players who excelled for two to three months before underperforming later on. Let's wait until the season is over. Before making any decisions about moving to Madrid, Madrid may not yet be of interest to him. Give Haaland two or three seasons to rule the EPL. Madrid will undoubtedly want a striker with such potential to replace Benzema. But will Manchester City allow Halaal to leave for Real Madrid, given they have been without a great striker since Tevels and Aguero left? Haaland has the support of the supporters and the management; I don't believe he will leave Manchester City very soon. He has vowed to remain a member of the team. However, nothing is impossible in football.

According to the source, Inter are seriously interested in signing Nathan Ake from Manchester City.

Ake is playing regularly these days and it is mostly 90 minutes also. Considering that maybe Manchester City might think twice before selling him. On the other hand, they were nearly doing so in the previous transfer window while Chelsea were after him too. Manchester City have 5 centre-backs at the moment. All of them are solid players so losing Ake wouldn't be much sad for the team for sure. His market value isn't even much now (€25m).

Nathan Ake is a quite an intelligent footballer, he reads the game so perfectly and doesn't make any mistakes across 90 minutes, imo he is Pep Guardiola's most trusted central defender this season, and i am pretty sure the qualities i see in him are the same as what Pep sees because he is a regular starter this season, except when injured.

Having said that, City were close to losing him this summer as he was about to head back to his former club Chelsea because he lacked game time last season, well that deal did fall through and Ake is still at the Etihad, even the man himself admits he is happy he did not leave, and why won't he, he is playing nearly all the games and City are winning. About the interest from Inter Milan, i think it will be a very easy decision for Ake to make, City are a better club, with better players and have the greater opportunites to win trophies, so i can't see a reason why he would leave City for Inter Milan, and i also don't think City won't be too worried to lose Nathan, he has proved to be very important to Pep in the way he wants his team to play.

[RealMalatesta]

Ronaldo can really join Chelsea side next summer. It depends on especially Manchester United's being able to qualify for the Champions League this season. Maybe this is the main factor but I can predict a side factor that can strengthen the probability of him to leave also. This side factor is that Erik ten Hag still doesn't give him any chance to be in the starting eleven of EPL matches. If Ronaldo continues not to get much chance then this can cause him to be more decisive about leaving.

Chelsea have Aubameyang now maybe but it seems like they can lose him to PSG indeed. Let's say they kept Aubameyang then there would be an interesting challenge between him and Ronaldo in the team. Because they both are playing in the same position so one of them would need to wait in the subs.

I think at this point it’s not really about United being in UCL or not, Chelsea may not be in UCL neither, it’s really beyond that nowadays. Ronaldo is not being played, and he just scored his first premier league goal as well. This dude wants to play a lot of games, be the striker, and be in UCL and score many goals to increase his stats.

I mean let me explain it this way, if Haaland scores 50 goals each year for 10 more years, he would still not be anywhere near Ronaldo, because he is that good. So at the end of the day United benched him, and he didn't play, and that means he wants to leave for a club that he could play for, where he will start every game, that’s more important.
