⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[izsara]

I don't see any strong reason for Messi to play in the Premier League, at his current age Messi is still able to show pretty good performance at PSG because PSG rivals in the league are quite weak, it's different if Messi plays in the Premier League which is having competition is quite competitive so it feels like Messi will fail if he tries a new adventure in the Premiere League at his current age, I personally think if maybe Messi will end his career in France or maybe in the Arab or American leagues.

Agree. No reason for Messi to move to EPL, it will be a disaster for Messi's career. EPL is a very competitive league, it is a difficult place for old players. Messi should follow Ronaldo's decision to move to a lower league, he can move to MLS or Argentine Primera División. Messi also can consider playing in Saudi Pro League like Ronaldo. Messi must be wise to decide on his next club if he still wants to play. 

The problem may be in terms of age. Even though his current performance is still able to be there, it's still a little uncomfortable when what happened to Ronaldo at Manchester United happened again to this goat.
I think as he gets older with competitive league conditions, it doesn't rule out the possibility of something like this happening to him too if he steps foot in the EPL.

Messi moving to Premier League is not sure happening
Messi would consider retuning to Argentina division than the premier league
Yes it is true that he has a good relationship with Pep Guardiola, Messi should consider leaving PSG

I don't see any strong reason for Messi to play in the Premier League, at his current age Messi is still able to show pretty good performance at PSG because PSG rivals in the league are quite weak, it's different if Messi plays in the Premier League which is having competition is quite competitive so it feels like Messi will fail if he tries a new adventure in the Premiere League at his current age, I personally think if maybe Messi will end his career in France or maybe in the Arab or American leagues.

I definitely agree, and I guess that his transfer to PSG was due to similar considerations. Therefore, his next transfer will probably have good planning. In fact, we know that almost all South American football players spend their last years in their home country teams, but Messi may return to his country after playing from the Arabian Peninsula for a few years because he has the physical strength to do this.

All of transfer that already made by chelsea were failed. None of new players from chelsea gave good contribution to the clubs. Mudryk and enzo were over rated players for sure with non sense price. How stupid todd agreed to buy these players with very high price like that.

10 loses and 1 win. This is terrible result that already achieved by chelsea with new players. So many fans from another club were mocking these players as they didn't look like players with high valuation.

There are so many miscommunications, inaccurate pass and many things that were so bad coming from the new players of chelsea. Why don't even chelsea use money wisely? Todd looks stupid enough as a new owner.

The chance for neymar to join with chelsea becomes even bigger now since todd faces neymar's agent directly. It's now not just a rumor but let's see what deals that will be meet by both of parties. Im sure that neymar was planning to get a new club.

The French press was betting that the Brazilian Neymar would go to a "second tier" team, but I believe that most here are surprised to learn that Chelsea are willing to pay very well to have this player in their squad. Not bad for the most expensive player in football history to date. But is Neymar still worth so much?

I consider his age is too old. There may be a several years remaining for him to continue his career in the professional football. It must be less than €50m. The problem is his salary is high when neymar was playing on PSG. I don't even think todd will be trying to give the same salary for him(neymar)

Speaking of numbers... Chelsea will pay (at least they are willing to do so, nothing is certain yet) 60 million euros for Neymar who is now 31 years old ("old" player). It's still 4 times less than the €222m PSG paid in 2017, but it looks like the Parisian club is quite happy with that amount.
Arsenal were paying "only" €50m, so they ended up having their offer waived.

It's better rather than neymar going out from the club with free transfer even though his contract will expire 2025. A bit surprised to hear that manchester city is willing to offer neymar too.

Either team sounds very good for Ney, however I think he would be a better fit for Chelsea because Chelsea lacks an explosive striker who can bring the team a better outlook, they are very good at defending in midfield but the forward does not bear fruit, they are very thirsty for goals and what Chelsea needs is to score goals, they don't need anything else, if they score goals they win games and the way Ney plays is enough to make him the star of the team because he would have the leading role absolute would take everything, free kicks, penalties, all without any kind of competition with another player on the team.

Declan Rice has been an another player at the centre of transfer targets for big teams for a long time.

Manchester United wanted them back in the day and got very close to finishing the deal. But it failed due to West Ham's greediness which made Rice very frustrated. Later on Chelsea started to have a significant deal of interest in him but still haven't made an official offer. And now I see Manchester City starting to be thinking about a deal to sign him. If they really enter the race to sign him then Chelsea might be in trouble. Yeah maybe Chelsea are also very rich now thanks to Boehly. But Manchester City seem a much more reliable team obviously so I think Rice could prioritize them in that case.

Declan Rice been linked with speculations of a potential move away from Westham United has raised the lids of premier teams seeking his signature. Honestly I expected Declan Rice to be listed as a top priority target for Chelsea in place of Enzo Fernandez because for one reason, he has wide experience of the league but Chelsea opted for Enzo instead. Arsenal and Manchester United can now try to sign him up in the summer.

There's a news where Marcelo decide to leaves Olympiacos which result termination on his contract, so he need to pay the penalty fee to Olympiacos. I don't understand why he did this because he's not a good player anymore, his peak performance was at 2017-2018 after then his performance start to drop and it's make Real Madrid don't want to extend his contract. I don't think there's a big club want to sign him, he might join a weaker club than Olympiacos or officially announce retired from professional career.

I wonder how Neymar can be persuaded to drop his contract with PSG (which is valid until 2027) and switch to a lower salary in a more difficult league? I think it's unrealistic.

that makes sense but since neymar was not happy anymore in PSG and it may possible as long as neymar can still get a good salary in the new club. He is now in conflict with mbappe.

We have already seen that PSG were unhappy with Neymar, but this did not bother him much and he allowed his contract to be extended automatically from 2025 to 2027. I think Neymar is arrogant enough to even sit on the bench and still get his huge salary.

You're right about Neymar was arrogant as a player. It's not that PSG was unhappy with neymar but neymar itself who has been deciding to leave from the club. Since neymar's intention to leave from the club already appeared and many of his scandals got revealed to the public too.

There's a news where Marcelo decide to leaves Olympiacos which result termination on his contract, so he need to pay the penalty fee to Olympiacos. I don't understand why he did this because he's not a good player anymore, his peak performance was at 2017-2018 after then his performance start to drop and it's make Real Madrid don't want to extend his contract. I don't think there's a big club want to sign him, he might join a weaker club than Olympiacos or officially announce retired from professional career.

I have heard that if marcelona was interesting to join with the new club that already contacted his agent. It's not olympiacos who terminated the contract but it's him. That means marcelona is much more interesting with new club that already contacted him rather than stay even longer in olympiacos. Let's see what name of club that already contacted marcelona's agent caused by it has not been revealed yet.

The new of Marcelo's departure from Olympiacos does surprise me. It's perplexing to consider the various factors that may have influenced his decision, such as the weighty penalty fee he'll have to pay. Nevertheless, who am I to make assumptions about his motives? Perhaps he's seeking novel opportunities or diverging from his established path in the soccer industry. The indication of interest from other clubs could also indicate his potential for further success. Alternatively, maybe he's simply ready to retire and bask in the pleasures of life beyond football. The possibilities are endless, and I wish him the best in his future endeavors. Good fortune, Marcelo!

[mamesso]

Me too, i expect messi won't go back to the barcelona. I consider how big salary of messi. I doubt if anyother teams are also willing to sign him. Messi has a very big salary and that makes the club think for twice before try to sign him. His team mate neymar already linked with EPL club which can be considered as rich club. Messi has not yet found a club that meets his criteria. I mean the new club must be in a good financial condition.

The possibility for other clubs is clearly still there, it's just that it's like you said, there needs to be a club that has good finances and of course enters into the qualifications of Messi himself because this is indeed important.
Here also does not rule out the possibility that there will be other Arab clubs who will start looking at the same as Ronaldo, of course, with offers and salaries that really don't make sense later. Even though many people say Messi does not only see money, but all possibilities can still happen.

All possibilities can still happen, no one can predict what will happen and which club will become Messi port after leaving PSG. Messi charm is still very strong, especially after successfully bringing Argentina to win the world cup, there are still many clubs who want to try to bring in Messi, including Barcelona. However, Jorge Messi as Messi father and agent has said it is unlikely that the star will play for Barcelona again.
Messi salary is a consideration for several clubs who want to bring him in, other Arab clubs may make a surprise by offering a bigger salary than that offered by Al Nassr for Ronaldo.

There's no denying that the English League is a very competitive league, it's not even rare that the English League takes its toll, I mean there are a lot of very good players in other leagues, but when it comes to the Premier League they are players who fail even though they are still at a very young age. very ripe. I don't mean to belittle Messi, because we know that he is one of the best players in world football, but at his age I agree that he has to consider it when he wants to compete in the English League, because in my opinion it is a challenge with the age he is have it feels too late.

It feels like Chelsea are rushing things for no reason about making Felix's deal permanent now.

At least the speculations say that they are planning to sign him on a permanent deal soon. But instead I think they should wait and see how he will perform in the rest of the season first. Then they can make a decision about this transfer. I know that they are eager to solve their striker issue completely as soon as possible. But this season is already wasted for them. So they had better move on more carefully about deciding upon their attacking line. They will have the whole summer ahead as well. Maybe there will be a better opportunity than even Felix.

I even wanted this for United but couldn't work
Chelsea should not do so because nkuku, sterling, Ziyech and recently added players will nkt have enough game time to start
Felix should make the return back to spanish league he will be nice to replace Neymar once he leaves

Chelsea shouldn't rush into permanently making Felix deal just because he can play football. Infact every footballer can play football but they should give him time to check his productivity this season and how he is able to help the club in overall.
Felix might be a good footballer but not the type of England player so it is important he is observed closely in some few matches.

At the beginning of the season, there was a lot of pressure and criticism on Massimo Allegri. If I had seen this photo at that time, I would definitely have thought of different possibilities. However, such is not the case today. Because Juventus have had good results in the league. They would have been in a much better position if they hadn't been penalized for points deduction. Perhaps, a discussion of Carlo Ancelotti can be started today. Because they are far behind Barcelona.

Actually, 34 years old is still good enough if he wants to go to a Ligue 1 team or a Bundesliga team, but not as a main player but more as a second tier player, at least he still has a one-season contract duration if he goes to one of the teams in the league above. But I really think that the left fullback position really requires a lot of stamina because you have to often help attack and defend. Is it possible that Marcelo will follow in the footsteps of his best friend in the Middle East League? I think it's a pretty good option if there is an offer from a club from that league.

Marcelo was one of the best defenders at his prime. Any club that gets his services will enjoy his wealth of experience. He will be able to groom young defenders and make them understand how to defend. For now he should consider moving to the United States or the Middle East like most players in his level. He could also consider embarking on a coaching course that can certify him to get a coaching job in the nearest future. He can also retire and decide to go into other businesses and spend good time with his family and friends.

I don't think that Zidane would go to Juventus as a coach. It first depends on whether or not they will play in the champions league and another problem is that they are not the top team right now that I think Zidane would ask for. I also don't think that Juventus could compete with bigger clubs financially.

If he goes to Real Madrid again that's almost going to turn into a running gag. It would be the third time then within just seven years. If PSG gets kicked out this season and they can keep the squad, maybe Zidane would want to give it a shot and be the first to win the champions league with PSG. He would also earn a ton of money for sure.

I have read that indeed Juventus have hopes for Zidane to be able to coach Juventus. But I agree with you that in the hands of Allegri, the current situation for Juventus is still fine, their current position is because they have received a point deduction sanction. Because if that doesn't happen they will still be a team ranked in the top 4. But if Juventus say something else by wanting Zidane to be their coach, then they will replace Allegri (if Zidane wants).

David Beckham's Inter Miami are in pole position to sign Argentina forward Lionel Messi, 35, should he decide to leave Paris St-Germain. Messi in the league of American football? Somehow it seems to me that it would be too early for him, because unlike Ronaldo, he is still playing at the highest level of football and can still achieve a lot in Europe. It is still early for his football retirement.
Messi's father and agent, Jorge Messi, says it is unlikely the frontman will play for former club Barcelona again. What happened between Messi and his former club that he does not want to return and finish his career in Barcelona?

Messi is not moving to Barcelona. That should not even be a topic of discussion. Lionel Messi tried a lot to stay at Barcelona, but he could not. And there is no reason for him to go to Barcelona. It would be better for him to play in a league that is not going to be too much competition. In addition, it will give him a healthy amount of money. That is if he decides to play for a club like that.

Atletico Madrid want £80m for Chelsea to make 23-year-old Portugal forward Joao Felix's loan move a permanent deal this summer. A lot was expected of Felix at Atletico, but he did not live up to the high expectations. Can he do more at Chelsea?

Felix is currently needed at Chelsea. But I do not know if he will be able to do more for Chelsea. Another thing is right now it doesn't matter Chelsea or Atletico Madrid, because both of them are not playing well right now. But considering the current performance, I think it will be better for the player to play for Chelsea. Because he is probably about to get a good deal.

How much of a good coach do you think zidane is please
Real Madrid had all it takes then zidane did nothing more but put them together
A season he was poor with them they had to do all they can to save his reputation and job by winning the champions league for him and immediately he resigned because he was clearly pressured. moving to france would be good they will protect him but it is too late for him

Marcelo may be one of the best left-backs in football history since Roberto Carlos. Moreover, he never came to the fore with his physical features. I don't think his age matters much. It is actually an important issue, but since the person we evaluated is Marcelo and his technical capacity is ahead of his physical features, we may take some rules into consideration less. In addition, I think that with the right tactics, the highest level of efficiency can be obtained from football players with extraordinary abilities like him
