⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[erep]

It is quite sure that Joao Felix is going to leave the quarantine because he is being pursued by a lot of big teams. So, I assume he’s not staying. But if he’s going to Chelsea is a big ask. Because currently Arsenal is at the top of the table and they need a striker pretty badly.

Logically, Felix should choose a club that benefits them. however, negotiations are still ongoing.
I also support Felix going to Arsenal. but if there is a possibility of him choosing Chelsea, of course, everything has been considered properly. especially the news that Chelsea is in the plans as a loan transfer to borrow Felix from Atletico.

It's very interesting to see Felix transfer drama, the big EPL clubs are bent on each other to get Felix. Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United are keen to sign Felix from Atletico. Manchester United manager Ten Hag has confirmed that Manchester United will bring in a new striker in the January 2023 transfer market. Ten Hag needs a player to fill Ronaldo's position, whose contract was terminated some time ago.

Manchester United is building a squad to continue playing in all competitions that are still being followed, the arrival of a new striker will make Manchester United able to compete until the end of the season. Currently squad depth is Ten Hag priority, Felix is considered capable of making the attack line even stronger, Ten Hag is also trying to persuade De Jong to join Manchester United.

I really like Darwin Nunez though because he is fast,  good in the air, I was shocked when I read the news Darwin Nunez completed his move to Liverpool because Arsenal had first interest in the player but were sloppy with the deal and Liverpool got him. I hope Gakpo is not here to replace Darwin Nunez rather be a backup. Nunez might not be meeting your expectations but I don't doubt his abilities and I know he will deliver for Liverpool.

The presence of Gakpo at Liverpool will be good for player rotation, Liverpool still have 3 competitions where they have to play quite a lot of matches so having a backup striker who is just as good will be able to get them good results in every game especially they really need to win in all League matches if want to be in the top 4

I am really surprised by this news because as far as I know Gakpo is closer to Manchester United but somehow he ended up going to Liverpool
So this is Liverpool's first step to improve their performance spend around $40-50 Million   I know Liverpool are still ambitious to finish in the top 4

That's football, surprises don't only exist in a match, the transfer market will also present surprises. Unexpected players will join a team that the rumors don't even sound like, until the transfer of mega stars that costs a fantastic transfer fee.
Cody Gakpo will try to replace Darwin Nunez, there will be an interesting competition here, any player who can impress will be the first choice. Things like this are needed in a team, namely internal competition among players, because that will trigger them to work even better to get the main place in the squad.

Gakpo being bought by liverpool as a rotation for nunez. Nunez's performance was really bad at this moment since liverpool must compete in some competitions at the same time and liverpool has no choice other than buy gakpo from PSV. Liverpool will have so many matches to come. Liverpool was surprisingly hijacking him from MU. Gakpo might think if liverpool may more capable compared with united at this moment. That's very sad to see MU was not getting him from PSV

Nunez performance actually not so bad i can say he was performing well in the several matches that Nunez was fast and he also active player to help defense and open room to other players to scoring goals but indeed in the term of goals amount Nunez wasn't so lucky because he still lack of goals and i think the arrival of Gakpo is not for the rotation of Nunez even in my opinion it's more likely to replace Diaz position which is still got injured so i assume in Liverpool Gakpo position is similar such as on PSV that Klopp more likely will played him as a winger and it could be right winger or left winger and he can playing well on that position before and Nunez will still playing as centre forward

Frenkie de Jong is a player Barcelona really needs right now, so I don't think Barcelona will be willing to sell him. In the last transfer market, it was also rumored that he would leave Barcelona and Manchester United were teams he was very close to, but Barcelona were not interested in letting him go. Especially if Barcelona sell him now, they don't have players who will be ready to replace him. So I think Frenkie de Jong will still be part of Barcelona for the next few seasons.

Frankie De Jong is surely one of the best player in Barcelona but due to their debit issues and having very high salary of de Jong they want to sell him in last season with two clubs like Manchester United and Bayern Munich both were ready to buy him, but he rejects this all because he wants Barcelona clears his errors in salary, but there was no deal between Barcelona and de Jong, so they ended this transfer now again things are looking into this way with both parties are ready as Barcelona is demanded, but again salary issue is having trouble which is surely not good for the reputation of club like Barcelona with most chances if Manchester United able to bring him this give them good strength and good boost as well in performance for the future in all competitions.

Darwin Nunez hasn't really been as bad as people think, i know he hasn't scored as many goals as people expected him to when he arrived at Liverpool, part of the problem/pressure on him is that City signed Erling Haaland around the same time Liverpool signed Nunez, and whilst Haaland is firing on all cylinders, Nunez isn't doing quite the same thing and people are making all sorts of comparison all over social media.

I didn't know why people have been busy flying the negative news of Nunez. They have refused to measure the young guy in his own abilities. It is either they are measuring him with Haaland or they are measuring him with Mane.
Being signed after Mane was sold doesn't mean he is standing in place of Mane and must therefore play like Mane.
It is very difficult to see a player that can play like Mane because the guy is very dedicated and selfless.

I feel he could be star player for the Liverpool in coming weeks because he is having good chemistry and quality for the best results but sadly his start is just slow because of this many peoples are feeling negative about him and his performance here I agree about this just after Haaland most of the new players of this generation look like average even they are doing good and can improve with the adoption of conditions and having adjustment into their clubs as well.

With the departure of Sadio Mané surely Liverpool is having some trouble, but now things could be ok, and they could be improved side with new signing Cody Gakpo is also coming, and they will feel strong enough for having positive results and better rank into Premier League table until end of this season.

Cody Gakpo can play in 3 different positions so I don't think these two players will compete against each other
After all, it's a bit strange that Liverpool spent more than $100 Million to buy players in the same position so I suspect they will be played in different positions.

PSG situation is getting more difficult after Mbappe put forward three demands so that he stays with PSG. Real Madrid interest in him has made Mbappe selfish attitude uncontrollable, he put forward three special conditions to the club so that he continues to stay with PSG.

Mbappe first demands were very heavy on PSG, he asked the Club to sell Neymar. The relationship between the two players is not harmonious, Mbappe demands that Neymar be immediately sold to another club, if Neymar does not leave, Mbappe will leave.
Mbappe second demand is that PSG bring in Zidane as a replacement for Galtier, Zidan's experience while training Real Madrid is considered to be able to improve PSG quality in local and European competitions. Mbappe also asked PSG to sign Harry Kane, he felt Kane could be the ideal partner for him.

source : Sell Neymar, Zidane as manager and more: Kylian Mbappe sets 3 conditions to remain at PSG

I'm not sure that a club should allow behavior like this from any player. Mbappe is a great player but he needs to get hid feet on the ground. He should be one of the players in the club, not the one making decisions about buying and selling other players. If this demands are true, I think that Mbappe will be leaving PSG.


There are speculations that Torino is interested in signing Andrej Kramaric from Hoffenheim. Kramaric signed for Hoffenheim six years ago and became the best the best scorer and the best foreign player in Hoffenheim. It remains to be seen if Torino will decide to match Kramaric's contract with Hoffenheim where he gets paid 4 million euros per year.

Some news sources are saying that Rafael Leao is eager to play in the English Premier League in the future. If this is true then it is eliminating the other big team options from different leagues directly. For example Real Madrid have been among the teams having some interest in signing him. Actually Real Madrid still have Mbappe as number one target in their list for the attacking line. If they don't manage to make this transfer next summer then they would look for other alternatives.

Leao can actually adapt to the Premier League football. His playing style is pretty nice for that. But I don't know if there are any Premier League teams interested in him yet. But Leao is a player who shouldn't be missed for sure. He wants to focus on his game at Milan for now.

Rafael Leao is surely one of the most exciting players in Portugal team and his desire for playing into Premier League can bring him into Chelsea in coming weeks because now they are already targeting few players which must for them in coming transfer window for having better results in Premier League and Champions League even right now Real Madrid is also looking for few talented players which can give them good replacement for the future with few players are also having end of their career at Real Madrid but about Rafael Leao things are looking not good as his personal intention is also English Premier League which is good and Real Madrid had to wait for the Mbappé intention or something other option because few already have few good players those are looking for transfers in coming days as well.

The ability of Gakpo to play in three different positions is very beneficial for Liverpool, Klopp can place Gakpo anywhere according to the strategy being played. The arrival of Gakpo will further strengthen the Reds' attack line, now Klopp has many options in attack.
Gakpo sharpness will have a good impact on Liverpool who are trying to get into the top four. Klopp must find the right strategy so that Liverpool appearance will increase and be ready to compete in the Premier League and Champions League

Have special with multi position make Jurgen Klopp feel excited to sign Cody Gakpo, actually Klopp have experienced with James Milner can placed more than several position from right and left defender until have playing well with midfielder position. The arrival Cody Gakpo can back up several position where Liverpool have main player absent until unknow time.

I think Cody Gakpo can replace position from Luiz Diaz as left forward and keep make Darwin Nunez with regular position as center forward, but can't any expectation with Gakpo will get regular position looking on how compete with Liverpool starting eleven right now.

I'm still in disbelief at Liverpool's acquisition of Gakpo Cody. I was surprised at how well Liverpool handled it. When only Man UTD was interested in Cody Gakpo, Liverpool seized the opportunity and signed him.
Maybe Klop saw how essential Cody was to his team. Cody is a capable athlete that can fit in with any squad. Liverpool, in my opinion, needs him more.

transfermarkt reports that premiere league clubs fc chelsea and newcastle united are reportedly ready to trigger the €120 million release clause on argentine international Enzo Fernández.
the 21-yo benfica midfielder was recently voted the best young player at the 2022 world cup in qatar.

Fantastic, really made several EPL clubs interested in him. Newcastle, who we know are on fire this season, also don't want to miss the competition to bring in Enzo Fernandez, Chelsea and Liverpool also don't seem to want to lose in recruiting this player. It looks like it will become increasingly difficult to sign the 21-year-old as he is one of the best young midfielders this season.

I haven't heard any news or rumours, regarding Chelsea being interested in signing Joao Felix. As for Felix, according to several news sources, Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone admits that Joao Felix might move this January. but he also promised, to get another player better than him in the coming weeks and months. however, the current rumor is that Ten Hag wants Joao Felix after one of their target players Cody Gakpo has had a deal with Liverpool. and because of that, Manchester United will be more hunting to bring in a center forward.

and one that is currently their target, namely, Joao Felix. Interestingly, Arteta is also reportedly interested in the appearance of this Portuguese sticker. however, there has been no formal agreement for talks to bring him to the Emirates Stadium. so, let's wait and see what Arteta and Erik Ten Hag will do to bring in this Atletico Madrid Sticker.

Chelsea linked with all these yougins makes me laugh really, still haven't cleared my head over the loss of Cody Gakpo to Liverpool now it's Chelsea and Newcastle hunting a player Manchester United wants Lol. He'll be a good replacement for weak Jorginho mmhh ?
Still linked with Athletico Madrid Portuguese star boy Jaoa Felix who's agent is currently trying to lift his agent of Athletico Madrid.

Enzo Fenandez is a good lad, but it'll be best if he ends up with a better and tactical coach like Erik Ten Hag or Pep Guardiola to bring out the potential in the player. Hopefully he takes the right direction at the end of the look out for a club for him.

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.

I was also surprised to check social media today, even trending on Twitter about Cody Gakpo's move to Liverpool. It seems this is thanks to the guidance of Virgil Van Dijk who advised Gakpo to join Liverpool this season and Jurgen Kloop would be more than happy to welcome the Netherland star to Anfield. I can't stop thinking, again Manchester United can be caught up in the hunt for players, we know the rumors first appeared that Erik ten Hag was very interested in bringing Cody Gakpo to Old Trafford and it seems that Liverpool managed to secure the player first, soon they will sign a contract in a few days.

This has been confirmed now and Manchester United must lose their start now even though there are still several other options such as Dumfries or Joao Felix who have been widely rumored before.
But indeed in this case it is also an advantage for Liverpool. They have some great attackers but until now there are still some who haven't been able to strengthen Liverpool like Jota who has a problem in his leg and Diaz who still hasn't fully recovered so Gakpo will be very useful to fill the void.

Apart from Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota, the inconsistency of Darwin Nunez has also created problems for Liverpool's front line. After getting Cody Gakpo it seems that the problem will be fixed soon. Manchester United have always been apprehensive when it comes to targeting players and now they have to focus on finding a new striker, even though Martial performed quite well last night and scored a goal in the match against Nottingham Forest, it seems that Erik ten Hag still needs a decent main striker to go through next season.

Argentinian young talent, Enzo Fernandez in Chelsea's sights, according to rumors, currently Chelsea are ready to offer Fernandez for € 127m ^(source) to Benfica. A very fantastic price for this player. Because previously not many paid attention to him, the World Cup skyrocketed his name by becoming the best young player at the World Cup 2022. Even though he is being linked with Chelsea, Fernandez admits that he doesn't know anything ^(source).

Finding a club in the English Premier league for Rafael Leao shouldn't be a problem, he is a real talent with good dribbling skill and good finishing just the kind of player premier league clubs will love to sign. Maybe clubs are not coming now because they are not sure he will be available for sale but if they know he is available and ready to move, clubs will definitely coming rushing in.

I think Cody Gakpo can replace position from Luiz Diaz as left forward and keep make Darwin Nunez with regular position as center forward, but can't any expectation with Gakpo will get regular position looking on how compete with Liverpool starting eleven right now.

Cody Gakpo is a player who played quite well at the 2022 Qatar World Cup event and he was eyed by many clubs, but now it is reported that Liverpool are moving efficiently to get this 23-year-old player from the Netherlands.
I think this is very good additional ammunition for Liverpool after they have played inconsistently since the start of the season and bringing in Cody Gakpo is clear evidence that Liverpool are serious about improving this team to be even better.
and regarding several positions that Cody Gakpo can play well, of course coach Jurgen Klopp knows this better and so this player can be included in any strategy that Jurgen Klopp will apply with Liverpool, of course a big advantage when a team brings in a player who can play in multiple positions, and Gakpo is a young, quality player with good prospects for the future.

Cody Gakpo is a really versatile player in my opinion. It is well known that he is capable of playing in a variety of positions, as he has demonstrated with the Netherlands team. As a matter of fact, this guy is capable of playing in a striker position, a winger position, and perhaps even in a central forward position as well.

As far as I can tell, what I have observed is that Jurgen Klopp likes to play his players in different positions, which might prove to be advantageous for him, especially since Liverpool have bought Gakpo at the moment. In that case, maybe the coach can use him as a left winger, while playing Roberto Firmino as the striker and Mohammed Salah as a right winger.

When talking about a good coach for Enzo Fernandez, of course Pep Guardiola is the answer. But it looks like Man City won't be spending players this season, Pep Guardiola is still comfortable with his current squad. But if there are other options maybe Manchester United is good enough because they still lack a creative midfielder.
