⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

So with his impressive form, I see it is impossible for Manchester City to let go of this talented player. Instead of selling Erling Haaland, currently Pep Guardiola is still looking for players to strengthen the depth of their squad.

Erling Haaland even surpassed many Premier League clubs with his goals. Even if we write pages about him, it is not enough to describe him. He's someone who fully meets the definition of extraordinary. Manchester City and Pep Guardiola are unlikely to sell him. But there is something more interesting about this. I think it may not be possible to determine the value of Erling Haaland. After a few seasons, other teams looking to compete with Manchester City will have to bring Mbappe to the Premier League.

Manchester City are very calculative to bring Haaland by this time and already know he will be very productive to the club.  If Manchester does not get who will march up the quality of Haaland they won't let Haaland go. I rate Haaland to be the best player in Premier league.  He is Messi of thus time.

Before you people talk about Manchester city, don't you know that Manchester city, you have to know that Manchester city doesn't have a  good players right now, even their golden player who is Ronald has old and it can not perform well again, i think what they have to do, is that they are supposed to at least watch from this world cup and buy more performing players, Haaland is a good players but some people doesn't like the methods of it's ball.

Manchester City doesn't have good players? what nonsense are you talking now?
Some people don't like Haaland's game? Where is this person from? I think in this case you talk too much unreasonable. Or maybe the petition a while ago about Haaland being too strong at Manchester City so that you take this petition to get Haaland out of the EPL seriously? this is really ridiculous lol

Haaland is one of my favorites players and I really love the way he do play matches. This is a player every team would love to have in there team so that he can bring fortune to the club. Just take a look at his achievements so far which is very amazing and is what had been keeping him on a high scale than other players. His height accompany his pattern of playing.

Player you made mention of is a very good player that everybody know it performance and every club we like to buy him to play in that work but do you know that the performance of one person cannot determine the success of the club in football at least is supposed to have a subordinate that will help to make the goal for the team to achieve some certain of their objectives

Cody Gakpo to Liverpool

Very surprising to me, I really was thinking that he will end up in Manchester United, but Liverpool have beat everyone to it.

Liverpool will pay £37m plus add-ons, up to £50m potential package.

The fact that Liverpool were still fighting to have him shows how unsatisfied they have been with Darwin Nunez who they expected to be very good for them.

Congratulations to Liverpool, Gakpo is a great player!

Manchester city is not a hungry club or a poor club. People should stop to dream that Manchester City will sell Haaland. Why would they sell Haaland?
Is it because of money or what?
Manchester city is a big club already and they are with Haaland, they will be with him for so many years, people should stop speculating about Haaland.

Antonio Conte's contract is only until June 2023. To date I have not heard from the extension. If I see it should be Tottenham should start discussing extending his contract. But perhaps Conte hopes this January he will be given the freedom to add player transfers. Perhaps if it was fulfilled it could serve as an excuse for him to leave. Tottenham have always been in the top five and that seems to make Conte need to add players to support the strategy to be able to win. Because the difference in points from arsenal is still quite a lot of games left and all can still happen.

I didn't read news about Conte contract extension but I assume it will depend from the team results in different leagues, FA Cup, Champions League and especially EPL.
Not getting a spot in the first four spot in EPL and not winning FA Cup will guarantee his departure. Getting a chance to play Champions League next year might grant him a contract extension.

Is this serious? I don't want to believe it but this was said directly by Fabrizio Romano which incidentally is quite valid in the news he gave. I didn't even hear Liverpool rumors with Gakpo before.
Liverpool poured out 37 million plus add-ons, up to £50 million for gakpo's Contract and reportedly this will be a long contract.
Fabrizio also added that in a few days medical tests would be carried out in England.
Sad for Manchester United now because in the beginning they were the most serious about this player.

[Velvet78]

I think it depends on whether Tottenham have a successful season for Conte to think of staying for longer. If they don't get better this season then I think Conte can think of leaving the team seriously. Especially if some big Italian team make an offer to him this probability would increase even more. For now there are just rumours from time to time.

Conte actually did a good job with Tottenham before. But these days things aren't working well for the team. They still continue to lose points which causes them to get away more from the title race in the EPL.

Yeah i saw that too he was saying a non sense thing about manchester city. It seems like he didn't even aware about city's player lol. City has kevin de bruyne and so many good players in the club that were making it sitting at the second position right now. It seems like that he didn't even aware if those great players like haaland who has been making city was placed at the second place. It must be ashame for him to call city didn't have good players at this moment.

Dammit , i know everyone at liverpool didn't expect this .. not even the fans as klopp says that they have nothing to spend on players back few months ago , i guess it's just a trick? Lol i think with this announcement .. everyone is really happy to have such great potential player coming to their club.

Here is some outstanding stats from cody gakpo at psv :

159 games
55 goals
50 assists

And he's just 23 years old!

Man utd still has a decent team, with or without Ronaldo, It could have been such a good deal for them to sign Gakpo, and I thought they were going to, but Liverpool stole him from them, but it's not the end of the world for them, they have what it takes to fight for the CL qualification.

[Slow death]

Erling Haaland may still be living in Manchester City, and it's hard to let go of Manchester City because his pride club is Manchester City, but Erling Haaland's career will shine brighter and bigger when he manages to make a full contribution to Manchester City and always get wins in every league they participate in.

Yes you are right,  the contribution Haaland will make in Manchester city matters a lot and that will determine his future.  If Manchester City still wins  the premier league this season it will be a big name to Haaland.
The results of Manchester city this season will make good impact in Haaland career.

Before you people talk about Manchester city, don't you know that Manchester city, you have to know that Manchester city doesn't have a  good players right now, even their golden player who is Ronald has old and it can not perform well again, i think what they have to do, is that they are supposed to at least watch from this world cup and buy more performing players, Haaland is a good players but some people doesn't like the methods of it's ball.

City have excellent players, I'll just mention a few of them: Jack Grealish, Rúben Dias, Riyad Mahrez, Phil Foden, Kevin De Bruyne, Erling Haaland, João Cancelo and many other players, if you watch City play you realize that the quality of The game that City presents is very good, City is at a high level, I have no doubts about that so I think it is a big mistake to say that City does not have good players when in practice anyone can see that City has excellent players

and to add that City have one of the best managers in the world, they are also a team with a lot of money, so players who are in city and play regularly will hardly want to leave city knowing that they are in a team that fights to be champions of the premier league and to become champions of the champions league, I'm sure many players want to play in city

I hope that with this signing, Liverpool's attack will improve a lot in the next games, but Liverpool still needs players in the defense, which is the most problematic place in the team because there are players who seem to have not been making much effort in that area of the team, it's up to the coach looking for a good player for defense

If Fabrizio Romano announced it, it is surely serious news.  
TBH, I'm also a bit surprised, what I heard Man United who tried to sign him. Yep, Man United was very serious to negotiate him because Man United needs a new striker to replace the position left by Ronaldo. Sadly, Liverpool beats Man United, they seem to almost succeed sign Gakpo if Gakpo already has a schedule of medical tests. Well, Ten Hag must be very disappointed with Liverpool because they stole Gakpo.  

[CryptoBuds]

it's funny that he said in an interview with piers Morgan that he wants to play for football and for the passion of football, and if he wanted to play for money he would sign for a club in UAE or Saudi Arabia, and there he is probably going to sign for a Saudi club, maybe he lost hope after how he got treated in Man Utd.

By January if no club shows interest in signing Ronaldo,  he will definitely move to Saudi Arabia because that will be his only choice. It is just better for him to accept the club than to stay without having any club, the money should be the most interesting thing concerning the club.

Chances are very small, Ronaldo will receive offers from European clubs before the transfer is closed. Currently it is not so difficult to bring in Ronaldo, Ronaldo status as a free transfer player allows any club to sign Ronaldo without having to spend money. The offer from the Arab League club is very tempting, when the ambition to continue breaking records has become a priority, money is no longer the goal.

Currently there is no agreement whatsoever that has been accepted by Ronaldo, Chelsea may be the club that Ronaldo chooses. Apart from that, Newcastle, who are trying to get a place in the top four, can put their interest in Ronaldo, especially since Newcastle's finances can easily pay Ronaldo's salary.

As far as I am concerned, Newcastle is the only team that will actually be able to get Ronaldo to play for them. As a matter of fact, they can afford to get Ronaldo into the team in the first place. In addition to that, they can also play Ronaldo as the main striker for the team if they want. As of right now, Ronaldo is a free agent. As a result, I do not see any reason why Newcastle United should not take advantage of this opportunity.

There is no way Chelsea is willing to bring him into the team, in my opinion. The reason for this is that Chelsea is most likely not going to want to leave him with so much money on his salary.

Liverpool was silently trying to get him and yeah liverpool signed him as a new player. What a surprise from liverpool. MU must feel disappointed caused by liverpool was taking him first. that's a good move by liverpool to sign him as soon as possible.
I think that MU must be find another target as soon as possible. Liverpool has been successfully hijack cody from MU lol

[LUCKMCFLY]

Well, if it's the way you say it, it could be, but remember, we're talking about PSG, that is, one of the most millionaire clubs in the world,

Of course i am definitely aware of that, PSG are a big club that have sufficient funds to allure world class players to their team, but likewise Manchester United, the Old Trafford club also work with a big budget and i am pretty sure if Marcus Rashford is to sign a contract extension with the club, his salary/wages would be increased significantly; mind you that Ronaldo who was their highest paid player has left the team, thus they are no longer paying any player as high as they were paying the Portuguese superstar, what the club might prolly do is offer Rashford a contract as big as that, make him the highest paid player with a definite promise of regular playing time (which he can't get in Paris), all of these should definitely convince him to turn PSG down and remain in Old Trafford.

Well, the truth is, I think it's clear that they have to keep him anyway, just like they have to keep Bruno and Antony, they are very good players, they shone in the World Cup and have everything they need to help a team move forward, I think they have to have very good offers for them, although personally if I were a player like him, I would try out at a better club, a club where I wouldn't have problems like the one they have now, and you should also think about the future, And it has been shown that for now, Man United, with what they have done, tries to stop the rise of many players, even having stars when the stars have problems, they do not have enough support, and that is not good.

I don't think that's an excuse when I say about Bellingham who can't be brought in later because they spent on Nunez, moreover they have also offered a big price for Bellingham and of course another big offer of 88 million for Enzo is also a little questionable if their condition is not very good .
I think this is a strategy because it will be difficult for them to bring in Enzo and Bellingham at once so they choose one of them as the main focus.

Enzo is a very good player and managed to fully contribute in the middle position to help his club win the World Cup. With this achievement, many big clubs like Manchester United have targeted Enzo too.
At least Enzo has a young age, and this is a good opportunity for Enzo's future, Manchester United and Liverpool will compete fiercely for Enzo.

Manchester United is really making next year's transfer market very lively, reportedly there are several players who are their targets later, including Gakpo, Enzo and Declan Rice

but it looks like Manchester United will find it difficult to get Enzo because Man City has wanted him for a long time, we'll see what Enzo will do, is he interested in joining MU or MC

The safest thing is that Enzo goes to Real Madrid and between those clubs and Real Madrid it is much more superior that he goes to Real Madrid, personally I think that apart from Real Madrid the other good option is at City, but not I see another better one, maybe PSG, there are many rumors that Messi, Mbappé and some others are leaving, we are going to see the Sheikh with what he comes up with for these players to keep them, however I do not think it is a problem for PSG to offer them more money I want these players to be happy, on the other hand, at Man United I hope that many players leave, because the truth is, with all the problems that exist, it is very difficult for them to get ahead, but it will have to wait.

Real Madrid make Enzo Fernandez transfer decision

He is not the only midfielder that Real Madrid have been linked with in recent times though. Jude Bellingham is rumoured to be the club’s transfer priority for the upcoming summer transfer window.

And as reported by MARCA, Real Madrid have placed Fernandez on their radar in the event that they fail to land Bellingham in the summer. Thus, it looks like the club will only make a move for the Argentine if they are unable to bring the Englishman to Santiago Bernabeu.

Van dijk has become the main actor why gakpo has been deciding move to the liverpool rather than MU. it seems like that MU didn't have an agent that can make him goes to the club. That's very sad for MU to see his target got hijacked by liverpool.https://www.liverpool.com/liverpool-fc-news/features/liverpool-transfer-cody-gakpo-talks-25840801

Mu must try to search for a potential player other than gakpo.The main reason why gakpo as picking liverpool rather than MU caused by van dijk and klopp. Van dijk will help him to adapt with the liverpool's environment easily and EPL.
Im so glad that gakpo has been picking his choice by moving from PSV to the liverpool.

Poor MU.

I hope that with this signing, Liverpool's attack will improve a lot in the next games, but Liverpool still needs players in the defense, which is the most problematic place in the team because there are players who seem to have not been making much effort in that area of the team, it's up to the coach looking for a good player for defense

IMO Liverpool already have enough defenders and those players aren't often injured, so substitution isn't really needed. Liverpool has many star defenders:Van Dijk, Arnold, Robertson, Gomez and Konate. While Liverpool is only have 5 strikers, 3 of them are currently injured, since Liverpool usually use 4-3-3 strategy, they need to find one more striker and it's Cody Gakpo.

I think the reason why many striker doesn't want to join Manchester United is people will think the new striker is replacing Ronaldo position, which make it's not easy for them. They need to have a good mental and high skill in order to make people didn't attack him when he's playing bad.

Fabrizio Romano is an expert and accurate when updating about player transfer window, he never update or publish with speculation only and when he said "he we go" actually become official announcement and have agreement deal between player, previous and new team destination.

I don't know what happen with Manchester United based on Cody Gakpo transfer values about £37 million and seems not really expensive based on Manchester United pocket, why Erik Tan Hag can make Gakpo believe and get offering from Manchester United? After losing Cristiano Ronaldo as center forward, I think Tan Hag most disappointed because losing his target as Cody Gakpo has predicting for replacing position leaving by Cristiano Ronaldo.

As far as I am concerned, Newcastle is the only team that will actually be able to get Ronaldo to play for them. As a matter of fact, they can afford to get Ronaldo into the team in the first place.

There is no way Chelsea is willing to bring him into the team, in my opinion. The reason for this is that Chelsea is most likely not going to want to leave him with so much money on his salary.

It makes perfect sense, Newcastle needs to take advantage of this opportunity to sign Ronaldo. Ronaldo status as a free transfer has made several clubs from outside the Europa League begin to take an interest in Ronaldo with the lure of a large salary. Newcastle don't need to make a lavish offer for Ronaldo, what Ronaldo needs right now isn't money because previously he already had everything in luxury.
Ronaldo needs support from a team that can give him regular minutes, with Newcastle struggling to finish in the top four, Ronaldo can help Newcastle achieve their goal.

Cristiano talked about the following in his interview with Manchester United. There are a lot of basketball heads on Man United's board. The United team is far behind in terms of infrastructure and technology, which every player wants from their club. Players will turn United down unless and until their training complex is upgraded to a modern facility.

The signing is a good one for Liverpool as a whole. Once again, United is too busy talking to do anything.
