⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[gabbie2010]

Basking from the euphoria of winning the World Cup Messi had agreed a contract extension with PSG, this news had put to an end the speculation that Laporta wanted to lure him back to Barcelona after his present contract expires in 2023, Messi is expected to sign a one year contract extension with his present club, I think PSG will never let him go now as the club is desperately and battling to win the coveted UCL this season and from every indication Messi had settled down in Paris and hopefully with the arrival of Neymar and Mbappe back the team all is now set for UCL matches coming up next February.

I haven't heard the latest news regarding Ronaldo's move is it true that Al nassr canceled their plan to sign him? I read local media published 1 hour ago
It seems that Ronaldo will continue to be a conversation in the upcoming transfer market, usually clubs from the American League always come at the last minute

I don't think Al Nassr will withdraw their bid for him; they're still working hard to sign him to their club. Ronaldo has not issued an official statement on the matter, but his camp has confirmed it. Ronaldo appears to be hoping that big clubs in Europe will still come after him. If Ronaldo does not receive an offer before the January transfer window closes, he will make a last-minute decision to sign Al Nassr.

Al Nassr seems to be the best choice for Ronaldo. after there were rumors that the media reported that Ronaldo was rejected by 11 big European clubs. but Al Nassr seemed to have different plans. the proposed contract is quite long. but the duration is 2.5 years as a player and the rest as an ambassador from Al Nassr. This is reportedly related to Saudi Arabia and Egypt's mission to host the 2030 World Cup.

I wouldn't say Ronaldo is done. he is still strong enough to play. but I believe Al Nassr is a good choice or he could choose to retire.

I think Tottenham will become more dreadful as they are currently linked up with Milan Skriniar, Randal Kolo Muani,  Isco, Weston McKennie, and Sofyan Amrabat in the transfer market. with this, they will be able to face any challenge that comes from the premier league and champion league. Recently, son Heung min has been kicked off by injury, and with this things may be a bit difficult for the gunners. hurdles like this would be easy to handle if Tottenham can bring in Eintracht Frankfurt kolo Muani as stated by the transfer market news. Among the aforementioned targeted signings, I believe Tottenham will add at least one more attacker or defender to the squad if not more than one.

This is a transfer discussion I know but it is not good to talk about players that are not for them
Until all these players are brought in they won't be dreadful
It is not good to plan with players that are not for them

I'm just not sure about Fofana's performance at Chelsea but I wouldn't like to be prejudiced either. Most probably Chelsea are thinking of him as their backup striker while there is Nkunku. But of course the performance levels can make a change in balances in the team. Fofana is a player who has performed amazingly for Molde in this season so far. He has scored quite many goals. Can he be like Jr Haaland maybe?    One of Haaland's old teams was also Molde that's why I made that joke. 

Hope you do understand that Nkunku won't be available for Chelsea until the summer which the season will be over by then. If we can't get our scoring problem settled now, of what difference does it make to the season that has started badly. Fofana is no backup to Nkunku instead a backup to Aubameyang and if he impressed the coach, he might even be a starter and then combine with Nkunku when next season begins.

If Fofana can give us 50% of what Haaland is giving Manchester city, I think we have gotten our season back on track. Chelsea lack goal scorers and all our forward are worst at converting chances or crating one themselves. Sterling that was bought to create chances has been poor this season and so has Mount and the others.

It looks like Enzo Fernandez's price of up to 200 million euros will not happen, considering that there are two players whose market value has skyrocketed lately Mbappe with 180 million euros and Haaland 170 million euros. Of course, the two clubs don't want a player whose transfer value exceeds their flagship player.

One of them will set a new transfer record. Paris SG has made the most expensive transfers in history with Neymar and Mbappe. In 2018 Neymar with 222€ Million Euros and in 2019 Mbappe with 180€ Million Euros. And if Haaland has won a few titles in England, then it is possible that he will change the league. His father said that Erling wants to win titles in every league. So far he has a few nice trophies at home, but the big titles are there yet.

One way Manchester United can get Rabiot is by showing their seriousness to the club that owns Rabiot and to Rabiot himself, not making Rabiot an alternative if they fail to get De Jong from Barcelona. For me it's an attitude that can make every player their target reluctant to anchor to Old Trafford.

Chelsea are rumored to have gotten David Datro Fofana from Molde. Fofana just needs to have a medical in London and the price agreement for the Ivorian player is worth €12m.

In terms of transfers, I am very interested in their strategy. It's very different to the way Manchester United target their targets in the transfer window.

In terms of Adrien Rabiot's point of view, I think you are right, but I'm not sure about Manchester United in terms of his point of view.

Franky de Jong would definitely be my first choice over Adrian Rabiot if I were Manchester United, and I would only buy Rabiot if I failed to buy Franky de Jong.

As for me, I find Manchester United's transfer strategies to be fine so far. However, I doubt Barcelona will be willing to let De Jong go, as he is one of the most talented midfielders in the world.

We just leave it to them regarding the player transfer process this January. Whether they will prioritize Frenkie de Jong or Adrien Rabiot. For me, Manchester United will have a hard time getting de Jong considering Barcelona no longer have their more senior midfield mainstay like Busquet. Of course, Xavi will keep the Dutch midfielder who performed quite well in Qatar.

In terms of transfers, I am very interested in their strategy. It's very different to the way Manchester United target their targets in the transfer window.

Keep in mind Rabiot was basically a deal done this summer.
Juventus sold him to Manchester he accepted to go there, and everything was done but at the last second, something changed.

If Manchester United focus on Adrien Rabiot by agreeing to the fee desired by Juventus, it is possible that Juventus will release Rabiot to Manchester United.

Ronaldo is old enough now. No Premier League club will be interested in signing Ronaldo now. Bayern Munich is likely to sign Ronaldo for 1/2 season. Because Munich needs an experienced finisher. I think Ronaldo is waiting for an offer from Munich. But I think Ronaldo should join Al Nassr now. Al Nassr management is ready to provide good enough wages.

[Sirait]

Rumors about Neymar have existed since last season if I'm not mistaken but are still hampered by Neymar's statement saying he could move as long as his salary remains the same as at PSG which of course this will be very difficult for several interested clubs.
On the other hand, I actually didn't really expect Rashford to leave Old Trafford, especially with his current condition, but sometimes PSG's offers like now for Rashford are actually very difficult to refuse.

Rumors about Rashford going to PSG have been successfully stopped, Rashford extended his contract at MU and dismissed all issues.  PSG has really been rejected by Rashford, and I'm sure that at any time Rashford will not want to move from MU, he is very loyal to MU.

Al nassr was seeing ronaldo was not as common football player but he was an iconic footballer. Ronaldo has the biggest fanbase in the world and that will give al nassr so many advantage. The club has been seeing ronaldo as a good asset despite the fact that ronaldo will get a contract as footballer but remember if ronaldo has become the most influence footballer for this decade. I think that al nassr will not give up to sign him. The main reason why al nassr sign ronaldo to help the country to host 2030 world cup.
I think that's the main motive why al nassr was contracting him with fantastic amounts of money.

Fofana to CFC.
What a fun league the Premier League, they will buy everyone  

Another ammunition will be going to the Chelsea. It seems like that chelsea was only doing the same thing like newcastle by massively signing the new players as the current players in the club have no capability to compete in the EPL. that reminds me with newcastle which has bought 9 players in the last transfer season and it keeps adding more new player since the club being acquired by the arabian consortium and that's how football works. lol
Nkuku, Fofana, Moukoko and chelsea is still targeting some new players.

This is a good deal for Chelsea. They needed to bring in some players because they are obviously not performing well at all. Fofana will be a very important asset for Chelsea. He is only 20 years old and he is showing great potential as a forward player. I think Chelsea will be able to use a player like him right now. He is still quite young but I think with proper care he can be a prolific striker for Chelsea.

Saturday's transfer gossip:

Manchester City are determined to win the fight for Borussia Dortmund's Jude Bellingham and believe the England midfielder, 19, will turn down a £100m transfer to Real Madrid or Liverpool to work with City coach Pep Guardiola. So it looks like another win for Manchester over Liverpool and Dortmund sends a great footballer to Manchester again.
Manchester United have opened talks with PSV Eindhoven about signing the Netherlands winger Cody Gakpo. Gakpo was excellent at the World Cup in Qatar and would be a great reinforcement to Manchester United.
Al-Nassr are hopeful they will complete the signing of Portugal forward and free agent Cristiano Ronaldo, 37, before the January transfer window opens. Are we looking at the most expensive football pension in history?
Manchester United believe they have a chance of finally signing Frenkie de Jong in the summer, but feel Barcelona are trying to increase his value by saying the Netherlands midfielder, 25, is not for sale. Will the clubs come to an agreement in the end? This de Jong saga is going on too long?

If Manchester city have that much confidence in their club that it will be so easy for Jude Bellingham to turn down Real Madrid and Liverpool they will be lying to themselves. I think all three clubs have the financial capability to pay the required fees but it will be the decision of the player to decide which club is suitable for him. Cody Gakpo will be an excellent signing for Manchester United, he will add more attacking power in the absence of Ronaldo.

Some sort of club in MLS if he is lucky to get into it then spend another next 3 years playing there until he announces his retirement. He was a decent player but yeah its just suck that this came done to it. The fact that Aston Villa would put him in their transfer list this January means they want to get rid of him and there is a decent offer waiting for him

I didn't see any rumors of US teams interested in Philippe Coutinho.
Usually Brazilians go to Orlando City but I don't believe the player will go to MLS now, in my opinion it would be assuming the end of his career.
I think he still has possibilities to play in a good level, not in England, and not in the biggest teams, and preferably in Spain or France for example.

Corinthians is still trying to get him, Vasco tried and I suspect even Flamengo tried, but money is not the problem, the player wants to continue in Europe.
Another factor to consider, Kia Joorabichian is the manager of Philippe Coutinho, he made a lot of business with Corinthians, and the club is the preference in Brazil.

The possibility is quite reasonable because even now, even though he can still be said to be capable, for Coutinho it seems difficult to join a big team again. MLS or leagues in the Middle East and Asia might be an alternative if someone really wants him before making the decision to quit the professional career he is currently living.
His condition was not going well with the injury that had worsened Coutinho's situation.

A big team is almost impossible at this moment, with 30 years and not playing well for some time, but as I said, I think he is capable to continue in Europe.
I think he's going to try at least another season in Europe before make a decision about any other team in MLS or Brazil.

He already won a Champions League and have experience in the best teams, a good example for some small team playing the UCL next season.

I think Ronaldo is waiting for an offer from Munich. But I think Ronaldo should join Al Nassr now. Al Nassr management is ready to provide good enough wages.

So far, Ronaldo has been linked with many big clubs to clubs from the Arab League. however, there will be no definite statement coming out of Ronaldo or Mendes as his agent. Even though Chelsea originally wanted Ronaldo's services, until now they have not said they will bring him in the upcoming January transfer window.

especially with Bayern Munich, I really doubt that Munich needs Ronaldo's services. after all, Bayern already have Choupo-Moting who can be relied on, although not as sharp as Lewandowski. on the other hand, on several occasions Oliver Kanh has said that Ronaldo is not in line with Bayern Munich's philosophy. So, I really doubt what you said about Ronaldo and Bayern Munich. So, where will Ronaldo land in the upcoming January transfer window, we will find out as soon as that day comes.

Cody Gakpo will be an excellent signing for Manchester United, he will add more attacking power in the absence of Ronaldo.

Yes it will all depend on how quickly he can become indispensable member of the team in the midfield and at City and Madrid he can't easily become right now. I think Liverpool should be the likely choice given they have publicly hinted that they need a strong mid and what's better than Bellingham with the age and the potential he has. I think he can quickly become a crucial member and can play for the Reds for a very very long time.

The problem is that wages are not Cristiano Ronaldo's only goal, he still has the ambition to play in a popular and competitive league. If Cristiano Ronaldo's main goal is money, then he will accept the offer that Al Nassr put forward a long time ago. Until now he has not responded to the offer made by Al Nassr to him, meaning that there is hope that he will likely join the Arab League team, but he is still waiting for teams that are competing in Europe and will soon make his choice.

There have been major talking regarding Ronaldo joining which club , reports are saying its closed deal between Al Nassr and Ronaldo and he's all set to join that club but he didn't confirm that till now .
Clubs in Europe are not showing interest in Ronaldo as there is no news regarding that may be due to his age but his experience is unmatched and undeniable.
Which ever club will have him will definitely get lost of benefits from his side .

The talent of a football player is sometimes difficult to accept at a high price for some people. But looking at a decade and a quarter ago, many players managed to break transfer records, let's say Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale who managed to join the European football giant Real Madrid, they all had very fantastic prices at that time and even many players could not afford to offset the prices of the two players, but most recently in 2017, Neymar moved from Barcelona to PSG for a transfer price of 222 million euros so far no one has been able to break this record.

There's a chance if Mbappe will break this record since Real Madrid is willing to pay for 1 Billion Euro in order to sign Mbappe from PSG [1]. It's really crazy how Real Madrid really want Mbappe, it seems they want to get many trophies in La Liga and Champions League. If Real Madrid is successful to sign Mbappe, there's no clubs that can compete Real Madrid except Manchester City.

[1] https://www.wionews.com/sports/real-madrid-is-ready-to-pay-ps1-billion-for-kylian-mbappe-next-summer-reports-546256

I've heard the news and I never for a moment believed that Real Madrid would pay 1 billion euros for just one player. It's just a media trick that wants to report and want to make everyone excited with an unclear transfer value. If Mbappe had hoped to join Real Madrid for that price, it would never have happened.

Those players must be included in exception caused by they have great achievement while when someone ask about what achievement that already made by enzo and then world cup must become the only greatest achievement by him. Neymar was a fantastic talent and that's why he has a high price along with messi which was also joining in PSG with high price. They have someone that already achieved. Enzo becomes popular caused by world cup.
I never heard this football player before as he was not so popular like messi or neymar.

That's right, we know that Neymar has not only excelled with Barcelona and PSG, but he has his own selling points individually such as his skill in playing ball and the dribbling that he plays makes everyone amazed at every action on the field. So everyone feels entertained by his agile actions. For Enzo, maybe one of the reasons why the price is so expensive is that he is still very young, 21 years old, so in my opinion it's not too overpriced as long as it doesn't exceed the price proposed by Benfica.

[Google+]

I read some news about Rafael Leao where he seems to be leaving Ac milan in the transfer window this season because some news sources say that he is interested in arsenal playing, is that a signal that he will join arsenal even though from arsenal it seems they are not chasing leao in the window  transfers this season.
indeed he has performed quite well with ac milan this season, Leao often scores goals to help ac milan win where in 14 matches he has contributed 6 goals and scored 4 assists. Ac milan really needs Leao in the next few seasons i think maldini should keep him in ac milan.

Rumors about Rashford going to PSG have been successfully stopped, Rashford extended his contract at MU and dismissed all issues.  PSG has really been rejected by Rashford, and I'm sure that at any time Rashford will not want to move from MU, he is very loyal to MU.

Rashford's choice was very appropriate because if he went to PSG it would not be certain that Rashford would get as many playing minutes as at Manchester United, and also Manchester United's efforts were very strong to retain Rashford because the team is currently lacking a striker.

and regarding Neymar wanting to move I think it's just an issue raised by the media without any continuation or further certainty, PSG is a very ambitious team to want to excel on the European stage and Neymar is a very quality player of course PSG doesn't want lose this player.

To be honest, the competition on the front line for Paris Saint Germain is very tight with the star names in it, so I agree that Marcus Rashford's decision to stay at Manchester Unbited is the right decision. After all a player needs enough playing minutes, even being a player who plays regularly. AT Manchester United Rashford has the opportunity to play regularly so much higher than at Paris Saint Germain, because there is no guarantee either that he will be given a lot of playing minutes, I even see maybe he will become a second tier player there.

  I've to admit it, I've missed all of your transfer updates, I think you stop prior to the start of the FIFA World Cup, good to have your updates back.

Before the start of the FIFA World Cup, I saw from a source of how Pep Guardiola has been handed a €100m or more to get any player he wish too get especially if he does scouting for the right player that suits his style, it's a good coach, I wouldn't him ( Bellingham ) to have double thoughts bout it despite Liverpool also tracking him, like Man! Go sign the contract signed. Sure thing is, he'll nkt sit no the bench as I expect Gundogan leaving soon.

Erik Ten Hag wants more options on the flank but everyone says his a Central Attacking Player but no, he is a good player for the flank but not for the CA position, Manchester United shouldn't hesitate to get the deal sealed. Good fighter. Three great goals at the World Cup, he'll be a good pair with Rashford, Anthony and Martial.

Good Luck is all I wish Cristiano Ronaldo wherever he decides to go, my Idolo 🐐 I'll crazy miss him since he's no longer gone be seen across the big European screens.

Manchester United should stop making plans for a player who doesn't want to fight for the club, Barcelona also playing hard even if they need the cash splashed on De Jong so they can solve some financial issues. Whatever happens next, I'm blank. LOL

Thanks for the information.

Thanks, nice to know someone missed my transfer updates. I will try to be even better  
I admit, for the last month I have been focused on the world football championship in Qatar, I neglected the topic a little, but here I'm back again, ready to continue  

Villa manager Unai Emery does not want to work with Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, 30, and is keen to offload the World Cup winner next month. This is very surprising news, which is the reason for the coach's decision?
Liverpool could give up on trying to sign Borussia Dortmund and England midfielder Jude Bellingham because they believe getting a deal done for the 19-year-old is proving too complicated. What is too complicated for Liverpool will probably be much simpler for Manchester City?  
Chelsea will have to make RB Leipzig centre-back Josko Gvardiol, 20, the most expensive defender in history if they are to sign the Croatia international in January. It seems to me that the more realistic option is for Guardiol to stay another year in Leipzig and then go to Real or Manchester City.
Atletico Madrid are reportedly willing to let Portugal forward Joao Felix, 23, leave on loan for a Premier League club so long as the Financial Fair Play costs of his contract are taken care of by the other side. Felix came to Atletico as a big star but obviously he failed to adapt to Atletico's way of playing and this is the best solution for the player and the club.
