⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Bobrox]

I hope messi will try to accept the new contract that already offered to him. There's no reason for him other than try to accept it. He will never able going back to the barcelona. This club may go to the europa league and team will be loosing another income again from champion club.
I think barcelona will have tried to take another financial clever if barcelona can't succeed in the champion league. Messi is a player with high salary. Another team will think for twice before they will be trying to bought him from PSG.
Messi's impact is really big to the PSG. It can be seen from some matches that already passed

Lionel Messi contract with PSG over at the end this season, still not have agreement deal between PSG and Lionel Messi for new contract extended. Give good rumor and speculation for Barcelona fans hope they can sign in back Lionel Messi and retired his football career with team have given many trophies. I think not easy to compete with PSG with salary payment for Lionel Messi and actually have most expensive salary, Barcelona need to prepare more planning because will have new player cut off salary again if want to sign in Lionel Messi next season.

I don't hope  Lionel Messi extended one or two years contract with PSG or returning back playing for Barcelona, but most expected if Lionel Messi can move to Primer League teams and want to see how his talented with most competitive league.

I think that it is still doubtful whether Messi would like to accept a 12-month contract extension offer despite his great performance this season. It might depend on whether he gets an offer from Barcelona this summer.

Because I'm one hundred percent sure that his priority would still be returning to Barcelona. Barcelona is his home in the end no matter how great he plays at PSG. But it is also doubtful whether Xavi would like to see him back in the team. I mean that it might be difficult for Xavi to make big changes in his system. Because the current system doesn't fit Messi well. Xavi doesn't have a system focused mainly on one player. I know that Lewandowski is the most important player of course but he is their striker. But Messi was directly at the centre of their previous system. He was responsible of so many duties. But now there is no such player in the team so team effort is the key point.

EDIT: Thanks for making me realize the mistake @GiftedMAN. I've fixed it.

Lionel Messi contract with PSG over at the end this season, still not have agreement deal between PSG and Lionel Messi for new contract extended.

Rumors of Messi returning to Barcelona grew louder after Xavi asked Messi directly to help him at Barcelona. Now Barcelona have no trouble signing Messi back because the club is in a much healthier financial position, you can see from the number of star players that Barcelona brought in the summer of 2022.

According to one reliable source Veronica Brunati from Telemundo Deportes, the Barcelona president really wants Messi to return to Camp Nou, he will try to bring Messi back to Barcelona. Messi's contract with PSG will expire on June 30, 2023, Messi has also postponed a contract extension until after the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. This situation can be used by Barcelona to seduce Messi to be willing to return to giving the club that has been instrumental in his career.

Lionel Messi have not given any comments concerning his future and there is no guarantee that he wants to go back to Barcelona. For me I am speculating that PSG's performance in the UEFA Champions League would really have impact on his choice of his future career. I am suspecting that if PSG wins the trophy, Messi might be motivated to remain in the club. But a disappointing outing might force him to leave the team.

We shouldn't also forget that it was because of the financial challenges of the Barcelona that led to the departure of Messi and the financial position of the club has not improved because the club is highly indebted and we saw that when they were unable to register some of their new signings this season.

Messi have won almost everything, I think it is time for him to make more money and prepare for  his life after football.

The number of players Barcelona signed this season shouldn't be used as a benchmark to prove that they are financially sound because most of the players they signed came in through free transfer. The only spent money on few players and some of these players joined Barcelona because of the love for coach Xavi and the club.

From the rumors circulating, Tottenham's mainstay player Heung Min Son is in demand by the Spanish giants, Real Madrid. What I'm asking is whether Tottenham will let go of the players they rely on every season? honestly i doubt about it. while Real Madrid reportedly want to bring him to strengthen them. Heung Min Son's contract expires in 2025 at Tottenham, and I see him still at home.

Cristiano Ronaldo has been widely rumored to be leaving Old Trafford, including after leaving the pitch when Erik ten Hag did not play him against Tottenham.
Rumors of Ronaldo's move to Napoli became the talk of several media such as The Sun.

Fabrizio Romano said Ronaldo had started training at Carrington in preparation for the match against Sherif on Thursday.
John Murtough as Head of Club Manchester United has also hinted that Ronaldo's future will be at Old Trafford with Erik ten Hag. That's because there are no further signing plans.

I thought it was clear for a while. We'll see if anything changes later.

Maybe the journalists have distorted everything again? How can Ronaldo's future be linked to United if he clearly doesn't fit into the Ten Hag scheme? And most importantly, why does Ronaldo need a problematic club with a problematic coach if he has the opportunity to move to another club where he will simply play without hassle and struggle for a place in the squad. Given Ronaldo's age, any other club would be a good choice for him.

It has become part of the media to broadcast news content like that. It is impossible for a player to feel at home in a club if the club does not need the services of the player.
Let alone Cristiano Ronaldo, other players will also not be able to in such conditions.

As a Manchester United supporter, I'm also not so sure that the rumors regarding Ronaldo's future at Old Trafford will last as John Murtough said and I'm very sorry if Ronaldo isn't allowed to leave when the desire to leave is strong enough.

I think you have mistaken something here, do you mean a 12 months contract extension or 12 years?  I don't think any club would want to offer Messi a 12 years contract considering his age right now. Messi is 35 years old currently so any club giving him a 12 years contract will likely not see the best of him again because he will not be as strong as he is today when he gets 40 years.

About the possibility of him going back to Barcelona, I think Messi will likely return to Barcelona as a legend because despite his departure from Barcelona he still has a good relationship with the club and he may retire there to take up the job as a coach but this is if Barcelona will be willing to bring him back to the team after his contract with PSG.

Messi  is doubted by many when playing in leagues other than La Liga previously but  he is able to answer it by continuing to perform quite well and being able to break  the record, Messi appearance at PSG this season has improved drastic and I think even though he is now 35 years old but he is still showing an impressive performance, seeing the performance that remains consistent I think PSG will continue to try various ways to extend messi contract and as happened with Mbappe of course it will be difficult for messi to refuse an offer from PSG later.
There is no doubt that Barcelona is the club that has the most meritorius for he carreer but I think Messi dedication to Barcelona has enough 17 years, besides that Messi reluctance to return to Barcelona is Laporta, because so far there have been many rumors saying that Laporta and Messi relationship is bad shape.

I've heard that Arsenal are planning to give £50m to Arteta for January transfer window. They must be aiming to give as much support as possible to the team to make it to the league title this season.

I wonder if Arteta has some players in his mind to sign now. Actually they have made good signings so far and strengthened the squad quite much. I don't see any big weakness in defense or offense actually. We can understand this easily from their general performance. But maybe Arteta has some plans to increase the alternatives.

I agree with everything you said. The way Messi plays is just unbelievably smart and precise. There is hardly any player who can serve balls to his teammates as good as he can. Whenever he scores, he uses his brain and precision instead of force and there is also no doubt that he is still able to accelerate crazy fast on short distances and dribble like a god as we have seen when he scored the second goal against Maccabi Haifa. His style is invaluable because it is impossible for an opponent to anticipate what he is going to do next and even if they anticipate it, it often ends in a failed defense because he has this incredible feeling in his left foot that the ball almost always exactly lands where it is supposed to land.

Regarding his return to Barcelona, I doubt that this will happen as a player. PSG will offer him an extension because he is a magnet for fans and spectators like nobody else. That alone pays off for PSG. I think he will return to Barcelona in a different function at some point in the future.

messi will certainly accept xavi offer to help him in the transition period made by xavi. But I think leo messi at psg has been quite comfortable so far and maybe Nasser will be able to tempt the superstar to extend his contract with the privileges on offer. Barcelona does need a messi figure on the front lines to spur back the tiki taka tactics which became a pretty beautiful game scheme when he was still at Barcelona. Juan Laporta must be able to persuade the star to come home at the January window and hope that this will come true.

Possibly maybe in defensive mid area we might need a player but apart from that I don't think we need any more players. We have a good squad and building a great chemistry so not really much. Although Tielemans to Arsenal would have been great as he can give a team a good mid control like he does at Leicester but that didn't happened despite strong rumours in last transfer window. Hope they get Tielemans maybe in next or a similar alternative with strong defensive mid control.

[bitgolden]

It would totally makes sense for him to get back, dude would be at the end of his career, his friend is the manager, he would just have fun. I am not seeing anyone in all of Barcelona roster that could be better player than Messi anytime soon, we have "potential" players which may become better than Messi in 3 years, because by that time Messi would be 38 too, so maybe that will happen.

But, if they get him this summer, I am 100% sure that dude would make the team a better one for sure, and he will make sure that Barcelona gets another league title before he retires and then he can retire. The money issue should be gone as well because both Barcelona can pay more now, but also Messi could accept a lot less as well.

FC Bayern is interested in signing Manchester City midfielder İlkay Gündoğan next summer transfer window.

Bayern are considering a move to take İlkay Gündoğan back to Germany next summer. Gündoğan's Manchester City contract expires next summer and there's a willingness from the Premier League champions to extend his stay [@GraemeBailey]

Another strong midfielder linked with FC Bayern. I don't quite understand where all the rumors are coming from - since FC Bayern is actually pretty strong in midfield. A transfer of Gündogan would only make sense if another midfielder leaves FC Bayern.

IMHO, much more important would be a transfer of another striker after the transfer of Robert Lewandowski to Barcelona.

It’s just funny that he’s now deciding to leave Tottenham when he should have left a long time ago. It’s obvious that Antonio Conte style of play is affecting his performance. He’s not the Heung-Ming Son we used to know. Real Madrid is hunting for a striker and I think Son is comfortable at operating as both a left inside-forward and a centre-forward. Due to his versatility and finishing, the Korean is considered to be an ideal fit for Ancelotti's side. Without an doubt, he’s going to be a good addition to Real Madrid attack.

Maybe Son Heung-min recently saw an opportunity to move to another club and maybe he can't stand the turmoil of problems that exist in Tottenham which not many people know, Real Madrid has been watching Son Heung-min's game so they decided to buy it on the transfer market next year.

What is affecting Son in Tottenham is not the pattern of play of the coach, it could be among but it is less than what is the main cause.
I discovered that the main cause of son's decline in performance is the arrival of Richardson.
Since the player came from Everton to Tottenham, Son seems to have forgotten his role in the club.

Son going to Real Madrid is like gambling with his career. He could be successful and he could also not be successful because there are a lot of young players in that club who are ready to play and who are ready to bench any player who cannot compete with them. Son should consider other clubs where he is sure of the starting lineup.

Real Madrid is a comfortable place for Heung Min Son, so I think he would love to be there to be part of the Real Madrid squad. The South Korean man did play very well so Real Madrid were interested in bringing him to the Santiago Bernabeu. Despite his declining form but he still has the potential to do something extraordinary if he joins Real Madrid. Heung Min Son has good pace in attack, and that is very much in line with the strategy that Real Madrid have always applied with their quick counter-attacks.

[Pokapoka124]

Son have played his best part of his football career in Tottenham Hotspur and the Korean is still hungered to lift more trophies to add to his archive of collections. There's still time for him to move to any big team he wants to play in, and these big clubs will always signed him since he's a speedster and have pace, especially he knew how to position to score. The thing is, Son can still force his way to real madrid only if the Spanish giant offer bids for him, like when united came for Anthony, Ajax refuse to let him go, so Anthony had to force his way in to making sure that Ajax let him go for manchester united. Son not having a good stats this season with getting out of his best form and it's really affecting both his teammates and the club.

IMO this season is the worst season for Son, he's very good on Tottenham since 2017/2018 season and the peak was last year where he's become the top scorer, usually it's always a Harry Kane. I don't know why he can have such poor performance, he seems to be either don't happy to play on Tottenham or have an internal problem. Like you said above, Son is really fast and he's very good play on Winger position to challenge the opponent defenders to chase him.

Son is still on prime age, it's a good decision if Real Madrid want to sign him on the next year.

Indeed this season has been tough for Son, and his slow start to the season has become noticable by fans and he footballing world and questions are being asked about his performance and why his unable to score many goals at the start of the season but there is hope because the season is still young and just like in recent seasons where he surprised everyone when he got back his form towards the end of the season to outscore his competitors.

Yeah this news is being on media, would say news rather than rumours since Son mentioned his intention to diversify his career and his ambition to play for bigger clubs. I don't know but I feel that he could fit in Bayern more than Real Madrid.
Now whether he will stay in Spurs or not in the next months, that's hard to say since Spurs don't let their players leave that easily..

[Pokapoka124]

I don't think Real Madrid will be open to bringing Ronaldo back to the club as a player, probably on a managerial challenge. The fact that's he's old and not as strong as he used to be gives a scare to other top teams especially now that his spell at United has not being better a lot now depends on his output currenctly at his club. The best option for Ronaldo now is moving to the MLS or Asian league.
