⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[rendravolt]

Gakpo seems to have impressed some big teams by his World Cup performance already. It looks like this can help him find a bigger team for himself to be signed soon. PSV have also been seeming to have no problem with selling him in even January. Manchester United is the most rumoured team for now. However it is said that PSV might demand £50m from them. Manchester United got really close to signing him last summer as you know and the amount was much less than this. I wonder if the new amount will be a problem for them now.

If they don't manage to sign him they might turn their direction to Rafael Leao. However they would have to pay much more money for Leao. I don't think Milan would demand less than 100 million euros for him. Maybe it isn't related to how much Manchester United want to spend. It might be related to the price they estimate for a player.

Gakpo's performance in the world cup has been so impressive and so far has caught the eyes of scouts and many too clubs in Europe including Arsenal and Manchester united who has shown firm interest in the player. This will definitely be a huge problem for PSV trying to hold on to the player now that he has attracted a lot of interest from other top clubs. They have to move fast or risk losing their star player in the window.

It is reported that Real Madrid are also interested in signing Cody Gakpo, in my opinion that is good enough to fill the winger position at Real Madrid. Considering he's still quite young, hopefully he lands in the right team. Maybe Gakpo will decide later after the world cup ends and now he prefers to focus on the match he will face with the Netherlands.

Maybe Gakpo will decide later after the world cup ends and now he prefers to focus on the match he will face with the Netherlands.

Given that PSV did not make it to the group stage of the Champions League, Gakpo, if he moves to Real Madrid, will be able to play in the Champions League this season. I wonder how much Real Madrid are interested in him? He is 23 years old, he has the ideal anthropometric data for a striker and perhaps this is the very option that can replace Benzema in the long run.

Cristiano Ronaldo can't win this much money in any of the big teams in Europe. That's why he should think about this excellent offer that came to him. In my opinion, he is currently focused on the world cup and is not responding to offers. The deal can be discussed after the World Cup is over. If Al Nassr can bring it, he will gain a great reputation in the world.

"Ronaldo already has a lot of money" a sentence I often read on this forum. This is a true comment. With the money he have, money is no longer his personal target. However, he wants sweet history before he retires. According to some media, he will not choose a club from Saudi Arabia, but he would prefer to join Chelsea. If this happens, then this will be good decissions from players who no longer expect to be richer but want an personal achievement.

BTW, there is a plan from the Portugal coach not to play Ronaldo against Switzerland. It looks like the coach will make a mistake if he doesn't play Ronaldo in this match.

With Gakpo having an opportunity that might not come twice, Real Madrid's offer opened the door for his extraordinary future. He has potential that he must show, for a Gakpo he must be able to consider Real Madrid as the right choice.

I agree if Madrid can bring him to Los Blancos. The position offered to him will make Gakpo a very special player. His performance in the Netherlands is clearly a perfect fit for his development at Real Madrid.

Right now nothing is clear about his future because things are really messed up, and we can't talk about how will he handle this all with most chances he will not join any club outside Europe because of his love affair with UEFA Champions League and right now too many rumours about his next stay with most chances he will stay in England because Chelsea and Newcastle United both are interested even these are just rumours but still anything can happen.

Many are feeling money is issue, but he is already having enough funds from his system which can cover but now mainly he wants to stay in UEFA as he is having good memories and records in this even and want to end his career on high note with his best last time performance in this Champions League for next one or two years.

And so for Ronaldo, it is now more important than the club to perform well in the jersey of Portugal.
However, Portugal's next match is against Switzerland. Switzerland is not a weak team. However, I believe if Ronaldo performs well, Portugal will be able to fend off Switzerland.

Of course Ronaldo has more priority to appear in the world cup with the Portugal national team because if I'm not mistaken, Ronaldo currently without a club. Even though if he is currently a player at one of clubs still will not change his decision to focus more on Portugal, considering that as you said this is his last chance to appear in the world cup (based on Cristiano Ronaldo's current age)

As a player full of ambition, Money is not the main goal. Without having to move to the Saudi Arabian League he has accumulated a lot of wealth, the proof is that he was able to collect some of the most expensive cars in the world during his career as a football player.
Ronaldo still has some ambitions that have not been achieved, he can still realize his ambitions in the rest of his career as a footballer. Surviving in the prestigious league is one of the ways that Ronaldo can do it. At the moment he is very close to Chelsea, he could become Potter's mainstay player if he officially joins Chelsea.

[rahmad2nd]

Ronaldo don't care about money but he cares about achievement on his career. Ronaldo doesn't even care with al nassr's proposal. It seems like he will be seriously looking for a new professional club after he will be finishing his world cup with portugal.
I just aware about how hard mendez was promoting him to the big clubs anytime to make sure ronaldo will get a new place before the world cup end and he will be playing in the new environtment.
I hope that there will be some clubs will try to give him offer to play in the club. That will be making him so happy if he will be going to the what he wants.

As Fabrizio Romano has said, on his social media "Ronaldo is 100 percent focused on the world cup and after that, he will only think about his future" there is no definite clarity, so far Ronaldo has not made any claims.

Right, Ronaldo doesn't care about money. even so, let's wait which big club is interested in signing him in January. however, if it turns out that none of the big clubs are interested in signing him. not impossible, if Ronaldo will accept the offer. considering the salary offer is so fantastic.

In this world cup, Ronaldo must prove that he brings his national team to victory after victory. I hope he can do something to bring out his best performance. and if not,. let's see how far he can bring Portugal in this world cup.

Before World Cup Cody Gakpo was doing good job at PSV with currently he is leading goalscorer in Dutch League with 9 goals and 12 assists which mean he is the quality player but now with the performance of World cup he is having better intention from media and many clubs which mean now in next summer transfer window things are going to change for him and his club because with the rumours around Real Madrid and Manchester United both are having inquiry about him, and they will try to bring him in their club mostly Real Madrid which is looking for the better replacement of Karim Benzema could be in pool position because they are desperate, and Cody Gakpo is surely good for them.

Rumours about CR7 didn't stop since the beginning of the season and it was obvious that he won't stay for long there.
Until now there is 2 options: whether he join Chelsea or Saudi Arabia.
For Chelsea, Pro: playing in Champions League ; Con: less money.
For Saudi Arabia: Pro: less hassle, moar moneh ; Con: where am I? no more important games and competitions. His records will stop.
There is option 3 that doesn't make sense after Saudi offers which is USA.
Option 4: home sweet home but what's the point now? He can return after a year or two.

[wiss19]

I do not believe that this has already happened. I think the media is trying to get views. That’s why they are spreading these news. As far as I know, Cristiano Ronaldo has been offered this amount of money. Basically, he has been approached with this offer from Al Nassr. He has not yet accepted it. I think if he does not get any really good teams, accepting this type of money is always good for the future of anyone. I think he should go for money at this stage of his career, regardless of how much money he already has.

I agreed with you about this all this is surely not realistic news and mostly having just for the media intention because Saudi Arab Soccer League is having not enough allocation for the covering of this all and most chances Ronaldo is not going to join any club outside UEFA because his all sights are set for the next seasons Champions League and with this most chances he will stay here in England or most chances his second destination could be Italy where some clubs are interested but currently nothing is clear because recently we have few clubs are facing tough financial issues and which club can afford him it's also not easy.

But, good advantage which is going to help him is now he is free agent which is good but his personal terms and salary is also problem as we have this in last season with Atlético Madrid, Roma and Napoli all fail to compete with his personal terms.

It doesnt really matter at this point because he is not going to lower his minimum wage that he wants so its going to be an issue wether or not he is a free agent. He was struggling to move on summer and his agent has been all over Europe looking for a potential club for him which didnt end up well so its going to be pretty much the same for him and his only option left is to go to Al Nassr or lower his wage requirement to stay in top Europe club

[alpamar99]

These Journalist.ake millions especially when they write about Ronaldo
That is the main reason why everyday you must see Information about Ronaldo
As so many have complemented Ronaldo is going no where yet just him want to win the World Cup

It's no wonder that this is always a hot topic of conversation because even the slightest news about Ronaldo will still be exaggerated because this is a field of money for the media so news about him will never subside in my opinion, especially his current condition is very interesting because Ronaldo is a free agent.
So that things like this will continue forever.

They are right, what happens is that when they are players who are so impressive and so famous, those things happen. The same happens with Messi, I have realized that in all the games in Argentina they always look for Messi to be the one who has the responsibility for everything, what happens is that Messi is in a different situation, he is much more confident and has a team who is playing for him above all, the Argentines know that they have to support their top scorer in order to win.

What they are doing is not bad, because I think that for now each of the players is aware that they need much more of his talent, as it will be when he returns to Ligue 1.

Now Messi is also still faced with various kinds of rumors and of course rumors about his future, where the contract at PSG is almost up to date, so it is likely that this will also be quite a hot topic of conversation and it is not impossible after this season, Ronaldo will then next season. is Messi.
Indeed, in this case journalists also will not rule it out because they still really need news that must satisfy them even though they have indeed created a lot of drama.

I have heard that Manchester United are in talks with Yann Sommer these days. His contract with Gladbach is going to expire next summer. He is not so much different than de Gea in terms of age. I wonder if this is a signal that de Gea might leave the team at the end of the season. Because there is still no contract extension for him.

I don't think Yann Sommer is a goalkeeper that deserves to be a backup player. I assume he would accept their offer on the condition that he won't have few chances in the starting eleven. To be honest, I hope de Gea doesn't leave the team soon. The team still owe him too much and need his services a lot.

The Chelsea rumour isn't even that certain yet because the coach is yet to accept him. It is not that Ronaldo isn't still prolific again but his problem is the distabalization he causes to a team. If he goes to Saudi he might be worshipped as a God there but Ronaldo is still eager to compete mostly against Messi. Had Messi left for non European team, Ronaldo will also have left.

His world Cup performance was supposed to be his showboating to new clubs but it is not going on well right now. He is even currently on bench for this round of 16 tie with Switzerland

What do we all think of the goalkeepers? The Cameroon goalkeeper has left a great impression in the group stage for the suspended Onanan. And goalkeeper of the Netherlands, Noppert, saved the Netherlands in the match against America and only conceded 1 goal in 4 matches. That is also good and he has made many great saves. I think that after the World Cup many players will be eligible for a nice transfer. Most eyes will be on Ronaldo to see what he will do and what his salary will be.

Cristiano Ronaldo can't win this much money in any of the big teams in Europe. That's why he should think about this excellent offer that came to him. In my opinion, he is currently focused on the world cup and is not responding to offers. The deal can be discussed after the World Cup is over. If Al Nassr can bring it, he will gain a great reputation in the world.

To be fair nobody in the world could earn this much money in any club on the world. This money is a serious one that needs to be not mulled over, it's money that you need to accept right away without even thinking about it twice.

I had a friend who worked there on a construction and said if I was Ronaldo I would reject it because it's really hard to live there and Ronaldo already has money, someone like us could accept it because it's a lot, but he should pick USA and less money instead of living there for 2.5 years, would be very difficult. But I do not think that 500 million would be not a lot even for him, it's a lot even for Ronaldo and he should accept.

That's a pretty big payoff for him if he is paid €200m a year. But I heard that Ronaldo can only join a new club after January 1, 2023. I wonder why he went to Asia! I heard before that he wants to keep winning UCL. But maybe a lot of clubs became doubtful because of his behavior. If it's really Asia, maybe he's attracted because of the money. Apart from that, maybe he will still be the first choice and of course his stamina may still be quite good for the Asian level.

According to some speculations Manchester United were also having some interest in Bellingham but they decided not to go for him after seeing that many other big teams also entered the race to sign him.

This is a wise thinking for them because they wouldn't really stand any chance against teams like Real Madrid and Liverpool especially. I know that Liverpool are technically below them in the league standings currently. But they have still been a much more successful team than Manchester United in the recent years. They have a much more capable squad at the same time. Apart from that Real Madrid are actually ahead of both of them now. Because Real Madrid is always a dream for this kind of talented youngsters. They were very successful in the previous season also and they are the same for now.

Real Madrid are building another squad full of future stars. Bellingham is already impressive of course and he can have a really unforgettable career there.

[martyns]

Very sad to hear the truth said by former USA defender, Alexi Lalas. He quote "Cristiano Ronaldo will be out of sight, out of mind if he complete the big move to Saudi club Al-Nessr". It's going to be one of the big transfer in history of football, but he's definitely will be out of trends and his popularity will reduce since he will no longer feature in the champions league and top tournament in the football. Ronaldo is one of the GOATS left in this present time of football an his presence alone in a team will pull big threats to his opposition.
