⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Lordhermes]

Busquet should leave he is still one of the best technical players at Barcelona but the Barcelona captains time is up

How's possible you can say he's one of the best technical player? he mostly used to be a substitue player, Barcelona already have De Jong, Gavi and Pedri who are talented midfielders. Xavi and Barcelona just give a respect to Busquets that's why he's still at Barcelona, if he was a new player and not give any contribution to Barcelona, he already got kicked.

Al Nassr is just a rich team who can pay a star player, even though the performance already decreased and can't compete with the new generation.

we can't just stay here and say Busquets tell is off, he's very important to Barcelona that's why they haven't been able sell him all these while, Xavi has known Busquets for years and I think he would like to keep him to build the younger generation for the club.

Also about the Firmino deal, he hasn't been used by Liverpool for a while now, and even got snubbed by Brazil because of it, I think him moving to another team would be the best decision for him. I would have started him over Nunez any game, sad he is not liked anymore.

I am pretty surprised that Roberto Firminho has stayed in Liverpool this long, there has never been a season that he was their main player, or someone the team looks up to for goals and impact, he has more or less been a fringe player for Liverpool, and now that they have Nunez and Gakpo in their team, his playing time is going to be further reduced.

Having said that, i don't know how well suited Firminho would be in Athletico Madrid, their tactics is somewhat different to what the Brazillian is used to, i know he is a professional and he'd definitely adapt, but he would struggle in the meantime. IIRC as well i have heard Klopp talk about a proposed new contract for Firminho, thus we'd have to see what the decision would be in the summer, if he stays or leaves.

I don't think Barcelona is ready to sell Busquets out from the club. He is still a good player that the club who really need . If Barcelona don't need I don't think they will still keep him the club till this date. He is a young player and the kind of player Barcelona will need.

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.

Yeah he is not the type that will risk his entire reputation on coaching a team that has issue with it or have no ability to win the domestic league and as we speak, Juventus is currently in bad shape. Put any decent top coach on Real Madrid back then, they would be able to win as well even without Zidane as their coach so yeah

Well, Zidane is the kind of guy who would only go to a club where he has maximum chances to win the champions league. Even though he had his time at Juventus Turin, he wouldn't want to coach them in their current state. Juventus is not the club right now where Zidane could get any player he wants. If he wants to coach superstars like Haaland or Mbappe, there is just a very tiny list of clubs where that could be possible and Juventus is not on that list.

I thought he might be looking for a job as a national coach, but Dechamps extended his contract until 2026. Perhaps he would have taken on that position, but he also knows that he can earn muuuch more money as a club manager. As a national coach you have an awesome life, but he can still have that by taking on a club for two years and then take a break again.

The latest on the transfer rumours is that PSG are monitoring 3 forwards from the Bundesliga club. The first is Kolo Muani from Frankfurt, the other two players are Marcus Thuram and Manu Kone who are players from Gladbach. All three are still quite young and it looks like this will only become a reality if Neymar does leave PSG in the summer transfer window.

Maybe it's a bit too arrogant to say Busquets like that, but I agree that maybe Xavi only has respect for him because Busquets has been loyal to Barcelona. But for appearances he doesn't contribute much, maybe behind him he only gives fighting spirit in this case is the motivation when he is in a downturn and gets a lot of deadlocks on how to get up quickly, because he is one of the experienced players who is still in the squad .

A news that has been published a lot for a while is Neymar's club change. The PSG club made an announcement to release Neymar due to conflict with Mbappe at PSG. English clubs Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United, and Liverpool have already expressed interest in Neymar.  According to many media reports, Chelsea are very close to getting Neymar into their team. But I think it would be great for Neymar if he goes to either Manchester United or Liverpool. You will be happy if Neymar's address is in a new club.

According to this latest news report the board of Chelsea football club the owner Todd Boehly had backed Graham Potter to continue to manage the club after some poor runs, recall Chelsea had just won 2 out of 14 matches in all competitions, a poor record for such a big club having spent so much in buying players in the last two transfer, despite all the injuries suffered by some of their players the club has depth in terms of reserve players yet the club hasn't made any progress both in the league and in Europ, I believe club owner wanted to give Graham Potter more time perhaps he might improve the team else he might be  sacked.

Tottenham have been reported to be interested in Antonio Rudiger from Real Madrid maybe but I don't think this transfer is likely to happen. I mean he is one of the members of the starting eleven for Real Madrid. He has been playing for 90 minutes regularly for a long time. It looks like Ancelotti is quite contented with his performance in the defense line for now. Otherwise there are five natural centre-backs in total in the squad so he would have preferred to give chances to some other defenders.

Tottenham also have quite many centre-backs now but I can't say their defense is very solid now. Maybe they want to get rid of at least one of the current players and bring a credible one to the team.

I think Real Madrid will not want to let Rudiger go in the next transfer window to any club including Spurs. So far this season Rudiger is an important player and his name will continue to be in the main squad until the following season. I don't think these rumors will ever materialize and it seems that even Rudiger himself will turn down the offer if another club tries to offer him.

I think Rudiger is happy in the Real Madrid squad.  I think it is unlikely that he will go to another team from Real Madrid.  They may have to pay a huge fee to Real Madrid to get him.  Considering that he is 29 years old, I don't think Real Madrid would want to spoil a position where they won't have problems for a few years.

Marcus Thuram was into Chelsea and Inter Milan radar even he almost moved to Chelsea this winter but i don't know why Chelsea preferring to prioritize Mykhaylo Mudryk over him because i am sure Marcus Thuram quality doesn't below to Mudryk and in Monchengladbach he can playing with different position as a winger or striker and as the player who from mediocre team i think his goals records very impressive that from 20 matches Thuram has been scoring 11 goals during this season

His contract will be expired on summer this year because apparently Monchengladbach has decide not too extended his contract and if the rumours is true then PSG has joined the race with the teams i mentioned above so very interesting to see which clubs will be his destination

The latest news regarding the summer transfer rumors that Atletico Madrid are interested in signing Roberto Firminho from Liverpool on a free agent status. I think this is a pretty good opportunity for Firminho considering he has rarely been in Liverpool's starting line-up since the arrival of Gakpo and Nunez and has mostly been on the bench this season.

It was rumored even before the World Cup that he would leave Liverpool, actually he contributed quite a bit but it's unfortunate he was injured and also the presence of Gakpo will put Firmino on the bench even more, but Liverpool still need him because he has proven several times by scoring goals when his team it stalemates in the game.

Maybe Busquets will join and play alongside Ronaldo in Arab after his contract at Barca expires this summer https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/21420200/al-nassr-sergio-busquets-transfer-approach-cristiano-ronaldo/

Busquet should leave he is still one of the best technical players at Barcelona but the Barcelona captains time is up
Gakpo is a winger while Roberto firmino is an attacker they play separate roles
Darwin Nunez is turning up and growing into the fighter he use to be at Benfica

these teams in arabia are becoming the destination of players who retire in teams in europe, this is not a good thing, they still need to do a lot so that people want to play in arabia as their first option and for that the government of arabia needs to change laws and forgetting to live based on religion, something that won't happen anytime soon, it even becomes ironic that people who call themselves religious, steal from the people and every day they are richer and stay in power based on blood and not based on people's choice

i know they don't say they retired, it just keeps looking like they transferred to arabia, but the age they arrive to play in arabia it is clear that they are already retired players in arabia europe and who went to play in arabia, in these Arab countries that despite being rich and paying players well, people don't have freedom in these countries, so what's the use of earning a lot of money without being free?

Roberto Firminho is a good player, I think he will be useful in Atlético, but honestly I don't understand why they sell Roberto Firminho and keep Darwin Nunez? in my opinion they should have sold Darwin Nunez and kept the firmino

I think that Rudiger would definitely want to stay and Real Madrid will be fine with it. Even if they are planning to make their squad younger over the coming years, you usually want to have some balance between older, experienced players and younger players especially in the defense lines. Experienced players do have a couple of tricks up their sleeves to shut down a strong offensive opponent. I would say that very young defenders are more prone to mistakes in certain situations.

[Docnaster]

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.

Talking of helping the club I'm overall, is the club helping him at all? Currently, I will say it's Joao Felix if any one asks me who is doing undoubtedly well for chelsea. Joao Felix will offer more than he shows if t all other players best is as good as joao's. If u doubt it, count his contribution per match and compare it to every other attacker.
Has far as chelsea is concern, the only wrong deal is Graham Potter, cuz chelsea will do very well with this present squad., and the best of those newly signed players will be seen if not for Potter poor football techniques.

I really thought that the Chelsea owners would definitely retain the current coach but we know that Potter needs time to manage the club for the better even though many out there want them to fire Potter as Chelsea coach.

Let's say this season they won't get anything including a place in the champions league next season they won't enter. What's clear is that the next season must be a better team because Todd Boehly's hope as the owner of Chelsea who has spent a lot of money has to wait longer to see his team back on the good track.

Only now how can Chelsea take advantage in the second leg of the champions league despite being left behind 1-0 on aggregate.

Some people have suggested that Joao Felix will play better as the top striker for Chelsea, but I do not agree with them because watching Felix play, he does better running from the midfield towards goal than being placed at the center as the main striker. Havertz has not been impressive, but there is something about him that offers hope, but still I think Chelsea another pure striker since they are into the buying business, they need a new coach as well, that is very obvious by now.

If I'm not mistaken, Marcus Thuram's contract with Borussia Mönchengladbach will expire at the end of this season. So, PSG or any other club can transfer him for free. This is a great opportunity. Also, Marcus Thuram has proven himself in Germany. He also plays for the French national team. I think he is a valuable football player.

Also, Messi's contract will expire at the end of the season if I remember correctly. If PSG want to continue to be an ambitious team next season, they have to transfer a few quality forwards already.

I think whether or not they are going to sign some forwards also depends on what Neymar is going to do and whether they want to keep him in the team or not. His number of injuries and escapades is outrageous. It is sad because he is an amazing talent, but he never put 100% of his focus on soccer. If you have him on the team it is hard with Neymar, Messi and Mbappe to sign other great players and promise that they get their chances. That would mean you have to leave someone of the three out and that will end in a lot of drama.

...

It's because no big team wants him, and he likely doesn't want to play for smaller team. But seems in 2-3 seasons later, he would play in either of Asian teams or his home Brazil league. He was a superb player, but that when he played along with Salah and Mane. After Mane's departure, Firmino has not found his best shape yet, and at the same time Gakpo arrived. His career in Liverpool is going to end imo.

Wait what? Not sure why Chelsea dont get any financial fair play punishment like City lol.

I think it's part of the process, we can't just look at the game shown by one player, we have to see them as a whole. Have we seen Chelsea play well now? I can't say that yet, to be honest. Joao Felix can show good performance if his team plays well, in the sense that he can't play alone. Graham Potter has yet to find a strategy that is truly implemented optimally by the players who are on the field, it also affects the performance of the players. He also recently joined Chelsea, so I still have high hopes for him.

Manchester United is a good example for that. They have become more and more united in the literal sense over time. Chelsea isn't a real team yet. They are quite strong individually, but they don't have a system that they can stick to for 90 minutes and outplay the opponent. They just need too many chances as well. Werner is gone but he could have scored twice every game and hardly scored any goals at all. Havertz is the same problem and we will see how Joao Felix will do.

What leaves me seriously puzzled is how Chelsea will stick to the financial fair play rules. Everyone with a sense of fairness knows that this can only be with accounting tricks, but then it still has nothing to do with financial fair play in my opinion.
