⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

Mckennie is really close to joining Premier League from Juventus.

The deal is almost done with Leeds.

Juventus had initially made McKennie available to loan with an option to buy, prompting interest from Leeds. But negotiations for him  are close to completion over a permanent move, although Juventus and Leeds are yet to come to an agreement over the fee paid. If Leeds successfully get him, he’ll be a good addition to them at least his strong physique will be of huge benefit to Leeds, and he is also versatile and looks set to play a key role in their battle against relegation from the Premier League.

According to some media reports, Leeds is currently offering an initial price of 28 million for the midfielder from the United States, but this obviously will not be seen too much because Juventus still want 35 million for McKennie.
But looking at the current conditions it seems that sooner or later McKennie will leave because indeed several Juventus midfielders are now almost ready to fill the void because Pogba is recovering and Nicolo Fagioli and Miretti can also fill in the positions left behind.

Maybe Juventus will lose even more players. I personally would not like to continue playing at a club that has been charged with fraud. As a player you may also run a certain risk financially. And Juventus players are generally all quite agile, they have found another club in no time. I also don't know to what extent players are loyal to Juventus in this regard. It is a pity that pogba now has to play football again in this situation, that transfer had actually been for nothing.

Talking about Hakim Ziyech, who was linked with Newcastle, seems to make the hunt for one player even hotter, the latest rumors say that Everton are interested in signing Hakim Ziyech from Chelsea. According to my speculation, this happened because several Everton players who will be sold in the current transfer market such as Anthony Gordon and specifically Amadou Onana were rumored to be going to Chelsea, it is likely that so that Chelsea can more easily get Amadou Onana from Everton they are offering a fee option plus one player Hakim Ziyech as condition. What do you think?

It may be good for Chelsea, it will be easier to get Amadou Onana if they include Ziyech in the transfer agreement. But it is bad for Ziyech to move to a team that is in the relegation zone, which means Ziyech won't play in EPL league in the next season. I guess it will ruin the career of Ziyech if he accept it, he should refuse it if Chelsea plans it. The best option is Chelsea to buy Amadou Onana with fresh money without Ziyech, let Ziyech to move to a proper club. AC Milan is interested to sign him, it is much better than he moves to Everton.

It looks like Marcelo Bielsa is the strongest candidate for the job at Everton after sacking Lampard.

I think this might be a good decision for Everton. Because Bielsa is a very experienced manager and he has a lot of experience with some decent teams like Athletic Bilbao, Marseille, Lazio and Lille. His last team was Leeds and he isn't working for any team right now. He worked with Leeds for nearly four years so he knows the Premier League very well also. I hope he builds a good relationship and has a good chemistry with Everton players to put an end to their misery in this season.

It is disappointing to see Frank Lampard lose his job, a number of fans think that the whole problem in the club is caused by the owners of the club, not really blaming Frank Lampard for the poor performances and results in the club. Marcelo Bielsa replacing Lampard could be the best move for Everton judging from his stats and records in his managerial career.

Another rumor is that Luka Modric was also offered by Al Nassr to join the Arab League and made a fantastic price offer of 40 million euros. However, this offer was rejected out of hand by Modric because he still wanted to insist on retiring at Los Blancos. Modric is not too interested in this big money, of course it shows that Modric loyalty to Madrid is very high.

Well, not every player is so interested in making huge salary, some players value loyalty and family more than money and Modric seems to be one of those personalities who value the love and good memories created in Real Madrid and wish to end his career with the club. I expected that Modric will fancy a move to join his old time team mate Cristiano Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia.

Hot rumors are now again involving star players from PSG. Leonel's future with the French League giants, PSG, was a big question, especially since the megastar's contract was about to run out. Messi's contact will end in June 2023, while La Blaugrana is reportedly planning to take him home. there has been much speculation linking Messi with big clubs, even Premier League clubs.

Meanwhile, journalist Gerard Romeno reports a different matter stating that Messi will not stay at Paris-Saint-Germain. if the reports are true, there has been speculation as to whether Barcelona and Lionel Messi will get back together, as many football fans have questioned.
On the other hand, Marca journalist Marc Vila reports that Messi will not return to Camp Nou.
To be honest, I'm not sure about the current rumors around Messi. so, let's just wait and see what Messi will do for his future.

If Messi leaves to play in a more competitive league, he will face what Ronaldo faced, maybe one season of everyone being happy that he is there, and he is loved by his teammates and everything looks great, but then he will get too old to play that competitively and instead start to play a lot worse.

I believe he should stay in PSG because it's a league that is not too competitive, not that they are leading comfortably now but even in this situation they are leading which is all that matters. It's important to remember this dude is not a kid anymore, he is close to retirement age and playing in a competitive team would definitely cause him to have a lot of trouble.

It is a pity that pogba now has to play football again in this situation, that transfer had actually been for nothing.

It's heartbreaking for a player like Pogba to be in this pitiful situation at this stage of his career. Even I, as a player, would not want to continue playing in a team where my future is uncertain; they may not be able to overcome this in due time, which may have an impact on the players' finances as well. The players' concentration and zeal to win a match will also be reduced to a bare minimum. This is a sad and pitiful time for a big club like Juventus.

Messi is losing strength ,if you watch him play in PSG. You will understand that Messi is Doing less work. He doesn't need too much pressure at this stage, he has won everything. Barcelona shouldn't be an option for him. He will face humiliation, because he can't give Barcelona 100% again because of his age. It's better to stay in PSG or move to USA and enjoy the game.  Xavi Hernandez are building Barcelona future with these young stars. Bring Messi won't be cool . because the fans wouldn't want to hear excuses, it's better to avoid the pressure.

Marcelo Bielsa replacing Lampard could be the best move for Everton judging from his stats and records in his managerial career.

Whatever the real problem is, we can't blame Everton management to fire Lampard because Lampard can't lead Everton to a proper position in EPL standings. Everton is in the relegation zone, it needs a change to take it out of the relegation zone as soon as possible. With a new coach, the whole players may have a new motivation to perform better and they may be more suitable with the tactics from Marcelo Bielsa. Well, let's see how far Marcelo Bielsa to give positive changes on the Everton performance.

It is sad that Frank lost his job. He should know that there is no correlation between being a great player and turning out to be a great manager. I do not think it works that way.
Here's what I think he should do - coach the youth teams. These players need someone they can look up and take every word in.  Then he needs to grow from that rep to produce the best young players and if he gets the chance recruit them to his next club once they have come up. He should learn from Rooney.

I'm confident that the new coach will be able to outperform the previous coach. Prior to his appointment as Everton's coach, he must have identified the club's failings and come prepared to fix them. This will not be Everton's first season in the relegation zone, and a God-sent manager will have them out in a flash. I believe this time is no exception, and he'll make the management proud of hiring him to replace Frank Lampard.

According to rumors PSG made an offer of 10 million for Skriniar to Inter.
Just 5 months ago they offered 60 million and Inter said no thankyou we want 80.

Now the path is clear or they will take 10 or 0 this summer since it will be a free agent.

The last time juventus losing key players due such scandal is at the 2005/2006.

Where they relegated tk serie B due the calciopoli scandal , zlatan ibrahimovic , adrian mutu and zambrotta leaving the club immediately , this juventus situation could be similar ... as the penalty for juventus is not over yet ... they could be banned from european competition as well , key players like pogba could easily leave for sure.

[TopT3ns]

whatever the conditions at PSG, if Messi doesn't want to extend his contract with PSG, I think of course there is strong consideration from him.
problems with teammates or if indeed he wants to return to Barca, of course, that must be considered properly. especially with Barca's finances, of course, there would be better talks to reach a deal.

Lionel Messi has started to enter an old age at the age of 35 and it is only natural that if he retires, there must be someone who has the same expertise as Lionel Messi to replace his position. Lionel Messi has to consider his future well and doesn't have to spend all his time on football. At an old age, he should be able to spend time with his family.

Juventus' situation now is far better than what they went through in 2005 when they were relegated to Serie B. They are in 10th position and thier last match performance against the strong Atlanta proved that they are still strong contenders for the European competition.

It is also important to state that many world class players like the legendary goal keeper; Gianluigi Buffon, world class midfielders like Pavel Nedved and Mauro Camoranesi, top strikers like Alessandro Del Piero and David Trezeguet and uncommon defender like Giorgio Chiellini decided to stay with Juventus until they were promoted the next season. These player proved thier unshakable loyalty to Juventus and I think players must not always be selfish by trying to satisfy themselves at all times. I expect Paul Pogba and others to remain in the club and help Juventus overcome this challenge.

But they have appealed this judgement, hopefully something good might come out of it. There is a possibility of having a reduced punishment like paying a fine or less than 15 points deduction.

I believe that this hiring should take place now, I'm just not sure if they'll make it for the 10 million.
With the sale of Skriniar and also De Vrij and D'Ambrosio (almost certainly), they are already thinking about reinforcements and Presnel Kimpem is already being speculated.

With a focus on strengthening the defensive sector for next season, Inter Milan is still in the market looking for big names to form the new Nerazzurri defense.

It seems that Inter has already started contacts with Presnel Kimpembé's agents, the player has a contract with PSG until 06/24 and is also looking for "new air" in his career.

Will there really be this exchange of defenders between Inter and PSG?

I think it's too fast for a goat.
35 years is indeed enough to retire but for Messi I don't think he will go that fast regardless of anything even if he wants to spend his old age I think he will still continue to play at least for the next few seasons.
Now with his current age he is still very fit and still able to continue to compete even though his skills are still above average so retirement is definitely not a hope for him now.

If Leeds successfully get him, he’ll be a good addition to them at least his strong physique will be of huge benefit to Leeds, and he is also versatile and looks set to play a key role in their battle against relegation from the Premier League.

Yeah definitely can add to Leeds attack given how well they attack in counters and with McKennie's space they can give their opponents some hard time. Its a good move if you ask me. I was expecting some big clubs to make a move on him but Leeds are also not that bad of a club either. I think at Leeds he is gonna have a bit different role and possibly maybe more freedom for him to play. Let's see what Jesse Marsch has in mind for him.

I think there were reports that Arsenal made contact with his agents to assess his desire for the move, but they weren’t serious as his technical ability was something didn’t impress Arteta. Now it looks like Leeds are leading the race to sign him and it seems he’s agreed personal terms with them already. He is a midfielder who can play in multiple positions; as a right-back or as a holding midfielder in front of the back line. It’s a decent signing for Leeds.

Arsenal is being heavily linked with McKenzie. I think this is going to be a good deal for Arsenal because he is still very young. And he can also give his service to Arsenal for a long time. I also believe that he can be a good player to have as a substitute for Arsenal's defense right now.

I don't know if he had agreed to any contract with any other team. If he has actually agreed to play for Leeds United, it might actually be good for him because he is going to play a lot more playtime in Leeds United compared to what he is going to get in Arsenal in my opinion.

[LUCKMCFLY]

I don't see messi being as greedy as cristiando ronaldo, moreover messi is not very old yet anyone can see that messi's moves are still the same, also messi's dribbling quality is still far superior in relation to many players , while in the case of cristiano ronaldo he started by not participating in manchester united friendly matches in the pre season games, and this meant that the manchester united coach did not put ronaldo to play and with that ronaldo's skills declined a lot to the point of having a bad performance in the world cup, and again he went to complain about the coach which made him stay on the bench, while messi thinking about having some cases reported that he also complained about the barcelona coach, the one who destroyed the barcelona he was before xavi, messi still has 100% of his active skills, he doesn't need to go play in arabia where they have low quality soccer

So you mean the greed that made Ronaldo decide to move to Al Nassr?
That's not it mate, it's not about the money, Ronaldo has had everything amassed since his career in the world of football.
Manchester United did not appreciate the existence of Ronaldo in their squad which made the two parties have to part ways that were not harmonious. Ronaldo is also having trouble finding a club on the European stage after his status as unemployed even though he has lowered his salary.
Al Nassr came as a savior for Ronaldo, he is much appreciated there. Ronaldo will also receive a high salary that is difficult for other players to solve, including Messi.

I think and I share your thought, what made CR7 fall was that incident with his little daughter who lost her, I honestly don't blame him, being a father can sometimes make you bigger and it doesn't matter if the world falls on you, but losing a son, life completely collapses, what CR7 saw in the Saudi team was the best option to get out of the criticism and go enjoy and once again take joy in football, something that they never considered next to a manager that he did not care about his family and especially a Ten Hag that for me has no merit (even if they win for now) so this team that offered him so much money would have been quite foolish to have rejected him, CR7 has achieved a lot, the only thing that What is missing is the World Cup, which should not be given up yet.

whatever the conditions at PSG, if Messi doesn't want to extend his contract with PSG, I think of course there is strong consideration from him.
problems with teammates or if indeed he wants to return to Barca, of course, that must be considered properly. especially with Barca's finances, of course, there would be better talks to reach a deal.

Now with his current age he is still very fit and still able to continue to compete even though his skills are still above average so retirement is definitely not a hope for him now.

I think that Messi is a player who should not retire so soon, with the potential that he has a good age for him to retire at 40-41 years old, I don't see anything wrong with giving us 4 more years of demonstration of great football, in addition, the Argentina team needs him a lot, I also highlight that he is a fundamental piece for any team, I know that there are players who are relatively young like Haaland, Mbappé, but I think they still have not reached his level, he The closest is Mbappé, however he still needs to have a lot of maturity and be a little more humble, although he is a very, very good player.

Al Hilal ready to lure Messi to Saudi Arabia with a record contract

Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo could be set to add more chapters to their historic rivalry in Saudi Arabia with Al Hilal reportedly interested in signing the Argentine to a world-record contract.

Messi, who reportedly verbally agreed on a contract extension with PSG, is said to be considering his options elsewhere as well, with Saudi Arabia a likely destination.

In my very personal opinion, I would love for Messi not to stay at PSG or Barcelona, but in Arab fútbol.

It is sad that Frank lost his job. He should know that there is no correlation between being a great player and turning out to be a great manager. I do not think it works that way.

Well, obviously i think everyone knows that not all great footballers turn out good managers, but there have been quite a lot of great/good players that turned out to be great managers, it is based on how well one can read/understand the game and the clubs they were lucky to manage.

Having said that, i don't think Lampard is a bad manager overall, when he was at Chelsea he wasn't all that bad, just that the owner then (Abramovic) was always impatient with managers; moving to Everton was always going to be difficult for him, even a manager like Carlo Ancelotti couldn't succeed there, they (Everton) have quite a lot of management issues and the problem has to be addressed from the root, or else managers would keep on coming and going. I wish Lampard all the best, and i hope he gets a better team pretty soon.

With a new coach, the whole players may have a new motivation to perform better and they may be more suitable with the tactics from Marcelo Bielsa. Well, let's see how far Marcelo Bielsa to give positive changes on the Everton performance.

The management has been taking a such decisions as a response to the everton's performance after it was coached by lampard. Everton has been performing even worst compared to before lampard was managing the club. That's why everton was sacking him. Bielsa may be able to make the performance from everton even better than before. Anthony gordon has been saying that if he will not even return to the club again. It seems like that gordon was very angry with his former team. It seems like that bielsa was leading the competition to be a new coach for everton. I think that even with the new coach and this will not even change the result from the everton as a team that placed at the relegation zone.
