⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Juggy777]

Chelsea should be able to finish the extension of Mount's contract one way or another. They tried to offer a very long-term contract to him like seven years but he didn't lean towards it. I assume he doesn't want to hand over his future to Chelsea for that long. But he still likes to be here so he is open for a reasonable offer.

Chelsea should definitely keep him at all costs. He is one of the key players for the team. They are already not doing very well in scoring these days. If they lose Mount as well then things would get even worse.

If Chelsea can increase his salary, it is very likely that Mount will stay there, at the moment he is a core player but his salary is quite low compared to others https://www.spotrac.com/epl/chelsea-fc/payroll/
If Chelsea feel that Mount is a player who can benefit them, then the players must also feel benefited by the contract and the salary they are getting.
There will be big clubs who will pay attention to the development of the contract if there is no agreement then the clubs are ready for him.

and according 'the guardian' there are already two interested clubs with fc liverpool and juventus turin, following the growing uncertainty surrounding Mason Mount's future after fc chelsea talks with the england midfielder over a new contract were put on hold until after the world cup.

@cygan if Chelsea end up losing him then the fan’s won’t forgive the new owner’s, because he’s a real talent and Chelsea can’t afford to let him go. Furthermore I personally believe that he’ll sign a new contract because publicly he’s been calm about his situation, but it’ll be really disastrous if he ends up leaving like Rudiger did and replacing him won’t be easy too.

A few more details on a possible new FC Bayern - Choupo-Moting contract. Bayern is offering a ~7m salary and a one year contract. However, Choupo wants to sign a longer contract.

Choupo-Moting could at least double his wages if he extends his contract at FC Bayern (currently on €3.5m/year + bonuses). The sticking point is the contract duration - Bayern would offer a 1yr deal while Choupo wants a longer contract [Bayern-Insider]

Hm, exactly what I expected. I was pretty sure that FC Bayern would offer Choupo a significantly improved contract after the offer from Manchester United. But now you have to weigh up whether a two-year contract with €7m per year is financially a good idea. Choupo would be 36 years old at the end of his contract. What do you guys think?

Other rumors, Chelsea have now signed a pre-contract with Christopher Nkunku (Leipzig). Be prepared to face the risk that Aubameyang can no longer be said to be productive to continue to provide encouragement on the front lines. Moreover, Aubameyang was unable to play for 90 minutes. The Leipzig striker was paid around £52 million up front. However, rumored to be absent from the 2022 World Cup due to injury, it's a shame that France has lost a player who has been in top form this season.

I've been a huge fan of Christopher Nkuku since last season but watching him play for Chelsea has never been something I envisaged, although, good luck to him on that. It breaks my heart seeing one of my favorites players crying as a result of loosing out from the French squad, the dream of every player is to represent one day for his/ her country but all of that fell short with the injury.
 
He'll make a good addition to Graham Potter's army, possibly next season, with Hudson Odoi loaned out and American Captain America in a bit poor form this season Christian Pulisic. Raheem Sterling should be good starters with him next season, one on the left and the other on the right.

It'll take Per Emerick Aubameyang five game's before he scores a single goal for Chelsea and another five game, such a players contract should be terminated as the player offers nothing but lower efforts back to the team. A striker in that matter  ?! He should kindly leave. Please!

One of the people who understand Cristiano Ronaldo is Alex Ferguson, I think he will fully support Ronaldo, in fact I think he will be the first person for Ronaldo's departure in the transfer market later.
Yes, of course the existing problems will make the chances of his departure even greater. I don't see Manchester United keeping him, nor do I see him wanting to stay at Old Trafford much longer.

Yes, Ferguson might still show some support but he also knows what Ronaldo did was wrong. It was going for war against the club by going out public. Besides Ronaldo also knows that his chances of ever playing for United is close to none. About Ferguson I think he will be bit inclined towards the club because these things aren't meant to go out public. Yes maybe their infrastructure is not good or someone is plotting against him to make him out of favour from the regular squad but these things can be discussed behind the doors of a player has issue with that.

At the moment it seems that the response from Sir Alex is the most awaited one, but in this case it seems that he still doesn't really care about this because the last time the media said that he was busy shopping.
Actually this is something that is quite natural because if he gives a response, of course this will become a deep mess because indeed this can go awry if it is in favor of one party.

Ronaldo unhappy with his former team manchester United, where he thought he would make history and legend. But the new management is not favourable for the GOAT as he looks to exits the club during the January transfer window. Ronaldo worst mistake was choosing united over city, he was very close to joining city until Sir Alex Ferguson had a little chichat with him and made him change his mind and go for united. Ronaldo needs to look for new opportunity elsewhere.

It was the strong emotional bond between Cristiano Ronaldo, Alex Ferguson and Manchester United that changed his mind, even though he was only one step away from joining their city rivals. But that turned out to be the wrong decision for Cristiano Ronaldo. Many say if only Cristiano Ronaldo had joined Manchester City then his fate would not be what it is now. This has already happened and it's impossible to repeat it, so the thing that can be done is to live with it until the problem is completely resolved.

But indeed in this case we also cannot predict everything from the start and when he was at Manchester City of course the problems he experienced were not only from the club but from the supporters and maybe Sir Alex himself would turn against Ronaldo if he did decide to go to City.

[fullhdpixel]

Man UTD and Ronaldo can't possibly be together again. And Ronaldo needs to find a team that can afford to pay him enormous salaries. I believe Ronaldo had a strategy in place before agreeing to the interview. Aside from the fact that Ronaldo is coveted by every team, football is a lucrative industry. Every club considers a player's market value. And as of right now, Ronaldo has the greatest market worth. As a result, you can be certain that whatever investment you make in him will return double as much. Ronaldo continues to dominate the field. Any club that wants him to play for them will still see him perform well.

Now it's all going to be messed up for Cristiano Ronaldo because after world cup his position in Manchester United is surely not good, and no other club is having better financial position to take him with his salary demand with this all we can expect he hast two options first cut his salary demand and settle for any club which is going to be play Champions League in next season like Napoli, Roma and Atlético Madrid all can go ahead just in case of cut in salary but not with current demand.

Second option is just left his love for UEFA and go to MLS or China where he can take good salary, but his soccer could be at his lowest level, or even he can end in a bad way because his career is going to end, and he has no positive options for himself here in Europe.

If Chelsea feel that Mount is a player who can benefit them, then the players must also feel benefited by the contract and the salary they are getting.
There will be big clubs who will pay attention to the development of the contract if there is no agreement then the clubs are ready for him.

Next year besides targetting new players Chelsea will very be busy to extended players contract this because some of players contract will be expired on 2023 and about Mount recently Chelsea has offering long duration contract until 2029 to Mount but apparently he has refuse it but there was no spesific demand why Mount didn't want to sign new proporsal but Chelsea hasn't give up yet that the rumour is after world cup ended they will offering new proporsal to Mount and hoping he will accept it and probably higher salary than now and this should be done immediately because Liverpool are watching for him and if the negotiation went to deadlock it's not impossible to see Mount left this January

[darewaller]

There is no special player in the Chelsea team that deserves to be begged to extend his contract with the club,  every other person in that club is replaceable from the goalkeeper's to the Strikers.
So there is no big deal anyone that doesn't want to renew should be let go and better players will come to replace them. I don't know why Mount should be begged to sign a 7 years contract , why he is demanding for salary increase and more so he is indirectly opting to leave because since the ownership of Chelsea changed some of the players has lost confidence in the club while some does not believe the ability of Graham Potter to lead the club

I agree with this because Chelsea is not really doing specially well, not because the players are bad. Even if we are talking about good players, the end result is not too well right now which means it is not working well for them and anyone could be expendable at this moment until they are better.

The players on a greatly successful team would have the upper hand to request for more salary, because they brought a cup to the team or something, but when they are nowhere near where they should be, then it doesn't matter how good or bad they are, the players won't get the salary  demands they are asking for, since the team doesn't want to keep them.

As for Ronaldo's possible next club there are some alternatives in Europe now according to speculations. These clubs are said to be like Chelsea and Sporting these days.

Sporting still continue to deny the speculations linking Ronaldo with them. Maybe they would like to sign him in normal conditions but it must be related to their financial status now. Ronaldo's current salary is quite big. He is said to be ready for some pay cut but I don't think the rate would be too much. Messi was okay for 50% to be able to come back to Barcelona for example. But this isn't the same for Ronaldo as Sporting aren't one of the iconic clubs for him.

Chelsea are in need of a striker actually because of having scoring issues in their domestic league. They shouldn't have much problem with money now so they would be able to afford Ronaldo's demands. I just wonder if they still have an interest in him now. Maybe their first choice might not be him depending on if they find a more logical option.

I think Cristiano Ronaldo should personally reach out to Chelsea. Because that team looks like they are in serious need of a striker, but they are obviously going to look to invest in a player who will be able to give them service for a longer period of time and Cristiano Ronaldo is not someone like that. After Cristiano Ronaldo exposed Manchester United like this, it is obviously certain that he is not going to stay at all Manchester United. But one thing is certain which is if he does want to go to Chelsea, he will have to take a massive pay cut. Because I don’t think Chelsea is that much interested in Cristiano Ronaldo as well.

I could be wrong, but it seems to me that Bayern will not agree to the terms of the player (even with Lewandowski they did not agree to the terms of the player) and this will be fair. The doubling of the salary is sufficient compensation for the fact that the player remains in Bavaria. If he wants to get a contract for a longer period, he must reduce the salary requirements and significantly, because of his age, the risks of the club are great.

You're absolutely right, but Chuopo is playing one of his strongest seasons ever. His goal-minute-rate is higher than Lewandowski's last season. There were plenty of rumors that he got a very good offer from Manchester United, but still wants to stay at Bayern.

I really hope they will do something like this: 2 year-contract & €6m per year. That would be +75% salary and 2 year-contract.


And some more news on a FC Bayern player: Lucas Hernández and the club will start negotiating over a new contract after the World Cup and it looks like everyone involved wants to extent the contract.

Bayern remain in good talks with Lucas Hernández's agent. Both parties will sit down together again after the World Cup. Bayern want to extend Lucas' contract this season. Everyone involved wants to continue together in the future.

Source: https://twitter.com/iMiaSanMia/status/1593577586881445889

That's fantastic news, of course. Hernández is playing an extremely strong season and is a key player for FC Bayern. IMHO, the contract absolutely has to be extended - even if things get expensive for the club.

Christiano Ronaldo attitude concerning can make other clubs to have fear of bringing him in. No club is having interest in bringing Ronaldo  in because of age factor , Ronaldo still a good player but can't be compared how he was in performance in the last 3 years. The next transfer season might be so difficult Ronaldo again if no club shows no interest on him.

With the lack of depth in this Arsenal team, next chapter of the season will be a tough one for them because of the World Cup and injuries and fatigue will definitely set in. Considering the position they’re in, I believe Arteta have seen why he needs to reinforce in January. Imo he needs to bring in more of midfielders and deputies for both the wingers; Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka. The other departments are okay for now but these positions are my concerns and I hope he uses his head this time around because they have to maintain that first position till the end of the season.

Arsenal team depth us not as bad as you think. When I watched their Europa league group matches before Arteta in his quest to finish first started using his first team players, I saw good boys who can come into the attack of Arsenal either by shifting positions when there is possible injuries. Nketieh was very fantastic last season and I think he is still available. With just one forward signing, Arsenal is good at the front. The critical position I'm concerned about is Thoms Partey position

Even they are at the top of Premier League and having impressive end in Europa Cup but still peoples are feeling they are not good enough to have performed good at coming weeks which is surely not good because mostly they are miss calculating them and feeling this is not as they were supposed to be before start of this season they have few very impressive players

Now we have to wait for the end of this world cup because any injury surely can hurt them and this could be vital for the end of this season as well because if they have not negative news then surely they can go like they were in start of this season which could be amazing with this all we have few rumours they are going to have few buying's in coming transfer window which could be also good for their strength.

Good to see that it seems like that chelsea has been given up to sign osimhen as it must compete with real madrid. Nkuku must move from leipzig caused by he may have a good career once he will be joining with chelsea. It can be said that if chelsea have very big chance to get him. Leipzig will get lots of money from there. France has substitution for him and i think that loosing him in the world cup doesn't mean a lot. Chelsea think that competing with real madrid to get osimhen from napoli will be so hard and it must also pay lots of money.
Signing him may become a good thing for the next year. Aubameyang didn't perform so well in chelsea and it seems like that graham was looking for his alternative.

Salary a major factor for the consideration of the players at the club, as long as they get welfare and an increase in salary, there are no thoughts of moving to another club and of course the contribution will increase and those who get an additional salary will feel they are very valued and become the main player who is eagerly awaited to score goals and bring victory.

Victor Osimhen is a big target right now and it is sure to be difficult for those teams that are not performing very well to get him. Obviously, when he has the option to move to Real Madrid, he’s not planning to choose Manchester United right now. Or maybe not even Chelsea at this moment because Chelsea are not doing well right now either. Real Madrid seems to be the most logical place to sign, even though he has competition, Karim Benzema.

However, I think that a move to Real Madrid would be the most appropriate option for his future. I mean, if he can show a good performance and in a short period of time, Karim Benzema retires from Real Madrid or moves away from Real Madrid, then Osimhen will be the main man in Real Madrid after him.

[bitgolden]

Ronaldo turned down a 350 million two year contract from Saudi Arabia! That is quite a statement and also allows us to come up with an idea about how much money he might have in the bank. He was asked about that as well and he answered that his money in the bank might be as high as his follow count on Instagram.

It was reported that Al-Hilal offered him a contract that would have made him the highest paid footballer in the world. From all indications Ronaldo is not really motivated by money. He just wants to play in the best leagues and feature in the Champions league. He also believes that his performance is superb and he has the potential to contribute positively to the success Manchester United but he has not been given the opportunity to achieve his dreams. Ronaldo might be correct that he still has more two to three active years in football and coach Erik ten Hag was not nice to him but he must also understand that he also contributed to his problems. He has blamed everybody but refused to take any responsibility for this current crisis.

After watching this all situation here and reading on social media and different news channels I have feeling new Manchester United coach is not having good view about Ronaldo presence in club just because of this all he is ignoring him, and we have mess up in club because he is still capable of giving his best for this club and game, but his strategy is surely not favorable for this legendary player, so they are not doing good after this all.

As he rejected the biggest offer in soccer history this was not easy for any player but now if he wants to stay he has to change few of his things which are surely having big impact on his finances because now no club is going to take him with current situation because many clubs are suffering, and they can't afford him, but they want to give him chance hopefully we will have good end of this player as he is now having few seasons left.

I mean, if he can show a good performance and in a short period of time, Karim Benzema retires from Real Madrid or moves away from Real Madrid, then Osimhen will be the main man in Real Madrid after him.

If he goes to Real Madrid, he can be the striker for many years because Benzema is now 34 years old and maybe he will not be there in 2 years. Osimhen is only 23 years old and has a long career ahead of him. He's playing incredibly well in Napoli, I don't think he will stay there for another season. If Napoli becomes the champion this year, it would be a great success story, but if Real Madrid wants you, you are unlikely to say no. In England, bids from teams other than Manchester City cannot compete with Real Madrid. Since City has no such plans, the chances of other teams to sign Osimhen are lower.

Manchester United started to take a stand on the Ronaldo interview with Piers Morgan a few days ago, reportedly Manchester United will take legal action and also fire Ronaldo in the near future, the news of this dismissal will certainly make Ronaldo happy, because his really wants to leave from Manchester United so far, in my opinion if later manchester united officially sack ronaldo then maybe several clubs will try to get him, maybe it's not a top club but I think ronaldo is still an attraction for football clubs today even though he has a little old.

Real Madrid will always be in pole position in the hunt for Victor Osimhen compared to Chelsea and Manchester United. It is very difficult for players to refuse Real Madrid offer because of the history of the club and Real Madrid is also one of the clubs that has won the most titles. Real Madrid can offer Osimhen a title but he will have to fight hard to secure a place in the first team, he will have to rely on himself to be part of the starting eleven as competition within the Real Madrid squad is fierce.

Osimhen's name is increasingly being discussed after giving the best performance since being trusted by Spalletti to be one of the main pillars at Napoli, he was able to answer the coach's trust well. Osimhen has developed very quickly during his time at Napoli, he is still very young and his career as a footballer is still very long.
He needs a place to develop his talent, staying at Napoli can improve Osimhen quality for the next few years rather than moving to another club because he is not guaranteed to get a place in the main squad with his new club.

[Swordsoffreedom]

Maybe Barcelona would really make use of a defender transfer in January after the injuries and Pique's retirement decision. However their performance in the defense line has been quite well generally. They have had big problems against big teams maybe but they still managed to dominate the rest of the games like the usual Barcelona.

Barcelona has so many defenders on its club. i think that the only main important thing to replace a defender that has very bad performance. Midfielder has also become the main problem for barcelona. I think that barcelona needs to sell lots of its players but it must also replace its coach. The current coach of barcelona is really bad. There are lots of things need to be replaced.

Another problem for Xavi is that he always brings in a lot of players without taking others off which makes it pile up.
For their defense and midfield there are several players who are not really used much but Xavi still keeps and even holds back if a club wants to buy these players and now they are trying to return to looking for free players but there is still no expression of wanting to release several players who don't used even though this is clearly an obstacle to Barcelona's financial condition.

I also think that Barcelona really should think about getting rid of some of the players because first of all Barcelona does not have too much money right now in the bank. If they can get rid of some players whom they do not need, then I am sure that it will be a boon for their financial situation if they are able to do that.

And another thing is that players might be able to have a better future somewhere else by having a better amount of playtime. We have seen Barcelona defend well throughout the season, except in the match against Real Madrid. The defense of Barcelona was not convincing against Real Madrid at all. Barcelona cannot afford to do that if they want to win the La Liga title.
