⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[slocker]

Looks like Milan struck another bargain by signing Brazilian defender Leo Duarte into the team, hoping that this would be the next Thiago Silva for the team. Milan is really upgrading their defensive end with the early signing of Theo Hernandez whom is unfortunately injured right now Romagnoli would have to wait before these two can start to make an impact for the team.

Regarding this, it is no longer a bargain but it is soon to Ac Milan. That means for the price to have agreed and just the time to be introduced in front of supporters AC Milan. And Coach Flamengo Confirms Leo Duarte Joins Milan

To be honest it been some time since I saw players want to go there. Maybe I didnt notices that much, but Im glad that they building team after all there were back in the 90s one of the biggest clubs.

yes I also felt the same way, they were a very strong team that year they were a very dominating team in Italy and throughout Europe.

• Moise Kean (Juventus) to Everton almost done deal. 30M, medicals tomorrow.

Sadly he can be a 100M € players in 2 years but Juventus seems to have some priority clauses if they want him back, not a buyback we will know more soon.

According to Di Marzio^[1], Juventus have 'first refusal' on his contract, meaning that if a team decides to buy Kean from Everton for 100M, Everton must let Juve know of the offer, the italians will have priority so if they want Kean back, they get to pay the 100M first.

Very nice post, keep them coming.

I didn't see Sarabia mentioned, he can play on all attacking oriented midfield positions. They got him for about 20M which is great price for a guy who was only behind Messi in La Liga last season in most creativity oriented statistics. Link

Glad you liked the post  I usually make this kind of recap posts whenever the thread is moving slowly and people don't post too many updates.

And yeah, forgot about Sarabia, weird that no other team was interested in him, especially after looking at his statistics.

I wonder why Juventus allows Kean to leave the club.

With 1 year left on his contract, and too much competition on the forward position (Cr7, Mandzukic, Higuain). this was the best outcome for both Juve and Kean, the club gets some good money and Kean gets to be in a team where he'll get much needed playtime.

Let's go for a new round of transfers confirmed and rumours, shall we?

• Zenit's agents in Barcelona to close the deal for Malcom^[2].

• Man Ud and Inter in the race for Rakitic (Barcelona).

Let's do this please, especially Rakitic. He's got a very little left to offer for Barcelona at top level, meanwhile Malcom could still turn good since he's got age on his side and all he needs is some playing time.

Rakitic has a way to surprise you. He is my fellow country man and I have been watching his career almost from beginning (Schalke). He has often been underrated in Croatian press and among Croatian people as well. He never was the fastest or toughest player. He also isn't flashy or dribbler like some others but he has very good football brain. There aren't many footballers with his ability to adapt and read the game. When he was transferring from Sevilla, where he was probably best player and captain, I was among those claiming that it was bad move and he will never succeed in Barca. However, he proved all of us wrong and played best football of his career on quite different and much more defensive oriented position and became very important Barca player.

Of course he doesn't sell as much merchandise as some/most Barca players and he is nearing end of his best footballing years but he still has few excellent seasons in him. He is the type of player who doesn't lose that much as he grows older since he never based his play on physical attributes. I don't see many players who can cover defensive hole behind Messi and at the same time bring that much when Barca is attacking.

Let's go for a new round of transfers confirmed and rumours, shall we?

• Gueye (Everton) to PSG done deal^[1]. Herrera, Verrati, Gueye, Paredes, for the next season, PSG now have a pretty decent midfield.

• Moise Kean (Juventus) to Everton almost done deal. 30M, medicals tomorrow.

• Zenit's agents in Barcelona to close the deal for Malcom^[2].

• Nicolas Pepe (Lille) in London ready to join Arsenal^[3].

• Roma wants Higuain?

• Man Ud and Inter in the race for Rakitic (Barcelona).

For moise, I think it's a good transfer for him as a talented young player, in a new club he will get more minutes playing it will make his career good.

What do you think about this transfer?

Manchester United in Dybala talks that may lead to Lukaku swap with Juventus
Source: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/jul/30/manchester-united-dybala-talks-lukaku-swap-juventus-agent

I am not sure what is the primary reason for Juventus in this deal. To buy Lukaku and make the team stronger or to make impossible his move to Inter Milan.

I think that everyone who wants to make profitable bets needs to take very seriously the final part of the European Championship, which is planned for a very significant date, when the sixtieth anniversary of all European tournaments will be celebrated. I do not know why, but for some reason everyone is interested in Cyprus - Kazakhstan.

It’s been sad to see the demise of Milan. It’ll be good if they can get better & start to compete at the business end of European football again.

Firstly, Italian league has to become competitive again and find a way to keep title race open until last few games. It is quite boring to see Juve as good as crowned champions around New Year. Napoli was the best of the rest last seasons so I am hoping more clubs to raise quality and try to put some pressure on Juve.

I agree, Juve have won the league for 8 consecutive seasons, it’s boring. It is up to the other teams to put up a mich better fight, hopefully they can this season.

Hate to say it right now but this could happen to Griezmann too after a couple of Seasons  if he gets over shadowed
I remember when Barcelona acquired Malcolm, people knew he would do a lot in Barcelona and develop a much better player...

This is true, the Italian league is less competitive because there are no opponents who can provide meaningful resistance to Juventus and they always win the league, there must be strong challengers in Serie A.

Not sure if the Lukaku transfer is a real thing or a misdirection deal to get Icardi or someone Else.
Dybala can leave for other players.

The Dybala from last 2 years is not a great player and for sure his value is not 100M as like Lukaku value is not 85M.

Dybala was good 2 years ago as Lukaku was great 2 years ago.

This can be a real negotiation but I don't understand what is the part of Lukaku on the one-touch Sarriball when he is lacking on this thing.

For sure the Lukaku from Everton was a good player, now is meh... I hope he will not come to Turin.


I can agree with Dybala transfer (as told he is not in a good shape right now (mentally)) but for a different player.

I am not sure what is the primary reason for Juventus in this deal. To buy Lukaku and make the team stronger or to make impossible his move to Inter Milan.

Juventus is looking for a strong #9 striker that can be in the center of the attack. Their wish is Icardi but Inter would rather ban him from the 1st team than to sell him to Juventus. Since Juve started playing the 4-3-3 formation there is no place for Dybala anywhere. His bad form doesn't help either. I though the 4-3-3 would be long gone when Sarri came but he seems to be interested in keeping it.

I think it’s a mistake to trade Dybala for Juventus but what do I know, I guess Sarri has a plan. I don’t see how Robaldo is going to work with Lukaku as a focal point, they’re like total opposites. Lukaku’s link up play & technique is awful.

^  Sarri prolly thinks he can do better in trying to improve Lukaku than he could do with Dybala...?  Still both are somewhat young.  There's still bit time for them to improve their game and make some sort of break through.

I hope the trade happens just because I wanna see Dybala at the EPL.  And Lukaku could do better cos of the weaker opposition at Serie A.

Anyway guys, I changed the poll.  Please vote.

Weaker opponents in Italian league?

Overall yes but defenses are a lot stronger than the premier league.

[tokeweed]

^  Seriously?  Lukaka's gonna have a lot of problems then.  I mean he's good vs weaker defenders and almost bullying them even.  But vs the better ones, nope.

Edit:  And it's sooo funny he was dubbed as 'the next Drogba'.  Lol.

I dunno, Man City & Liverpool have good defences. Italian teams have good defences because at times the whole team defends. Liverpool have Van Dijk, the best CB in the world & Alisson got the golden glove awards in the CL, PL & Copa America - https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/talksport.com/football/568306/liverpool-alisson-copa-america-golden-glove/amp/

Sarri might still think that Premier League players are better than Serie A players that is why he thinks a forward like Lukaku can be a star in the league. I doubt that will happen on everyone as proven by a lot of flop big transfers made by Serie A teams, they either end up wasting their money or overpaying a subpar player. I just wish that they keep Dybala instead as he is really valuable for the team.

Sarri told on his 1st interview for Juventus around one month ago that he will not speak about the market, the market for him is a thing for the president & Co, he told he will speak about the kind of players but he will not ask for specific players.
