⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Leviathan.007]

I don't think there is any concrete reason Guardiola asked the club to sell Haaland immediately, he has had a perfect first season off with lots of goals already scored for Manchester City. Haaland goals helped Manchester City win a lot, his playing style almost blends with Guardiola's concept. I don't think cases like Ibrahimovic at Barcelona will be repeated, Haaland has become one of Guardiola mainstay players in the Manchester City squad.

I don't think Guardiola will want the club to sell Haaland because he has been a major contributor to the team's success this season recording 28 goals in the league this season and has helped Manchester City win tough games by scoring a late winner on different occasions. I think Guardiola is satisfied with his performance so far and will want him to stay at the club.

This is Erling Haaland's first season and in his first season he has adapted very well and even scored more than 30 goals in all the competitions he has participated in with Manchester City, it would be very strange if Pep Guardiola wanted him to leave with the glorious form he had show this season. He is still very young and it is not easy to find a young player who has the abilities of Erling Haaland.

This is not even a matter of if Guardiola will allow Haaland go. It is more of a matter of if Haaland will agree to gamble his career by leaving Manchester City.
No reasonable footballer will make that mistake or take such an unnecessary risk.
It is even not upto one season  that you signed for a big club like City, the club accepted you wholeheartedly and gave you glory roles and yet you want to exit the club such a way.
I'll rather suggest we stop this Haaland transfer unrealistic rumours.

Manchester City is not a team with a weak financial system and their superstar forward is just 22 so they will try hard to keep this player in teams and extend his contract and even if they have to pay him more than other stars in the world they will do it because this can be a good investment for the future to hold a 22y old player in your teams with the current situation of Haaland and the recent performance we saw from him.

A striker in top club as Manchester city can have great players that would stay and win games with alot of goals. What makes this possible is the welcome and trust the team hath put on him. If he considered leaving, it could be perhaps he has a fallout with the manager or that the manager was replaced with a new one that doesn't like him. Other than these, a top striker like Haaland still has more to offer the team and would even get raise if need be. Let him ask Aguero and others who were as good as his performance right now.
If he decides to leave to another club in another league, it might just be career over for him. His dad with football experience must have taught him better.

Haaland will not leave Man City, he said that a long time ago because of the history of his father growing up and growing up with Man City. And what Halaand wants is according to his father's wishes. Who doesn't know how Halaand's father was a historic player at Man City. Although at this time I also heard rumors about clubs that were interested in Haaland, it doesn't look like this will happen in the near future.

I wouldn't generalize it like that. English players also have a chance to prove themselves in La Liga. The examples you provided are actually true, no doubt about that and there are a couple of other players who also failed. But there are still good examples as well.

Though now that you mentioned it I had a look and it is surprising how few English players are playing in La Liga. But I think it is more common for them to stay in the Premier League as it is the best league in Europe anyway whereas there are a lot of Spanish players who go to the Premier League.

To be honest, there is no good example of English players played well in LaLiga. Of course everyone could prove himself to be the best footballer, but it's all about the culture and style played in each league. Bale perhaps the best example of a player who played amazing in both LaLiga and Premier League, but he is a Welsh.

Well it's a never ending debate about which league is the best in the world, which LaLiga team have much more achievements in Europe tournaments, while in the other side, Premier League have the biggest broadcast agreements that make them to be the most popular league. Based on the fact that there are many Spanish players playing in Premier League, it proves us that Spanish players can adapt and play well in any league. In otherwise, English players can play good only in Premier League, well, except Sancho, Bellingham, and Hargreaves in Bundesliga.

That's unnecessary transfer for Real Madrid since they have already brought Tchouameni and Camavinga into the team. Beside that, English players had a hard time playing in Real Madrid, like what we have seen on Woodgate and Owen when they were playing there. Instead Real Madrid should focus to bring new full backs and/or a center forward.

It's still a rumor and it has not confirmed yet. There was also a news that said that if madrid already targeted some players

According to Fichajes.net, Madrid will try to secure all three of their top targets for a combined fee in the range of €300m.

The report states they are comfortable with the asking price of Kvaratskhelia, which is said to be a minimum of €100m, while they expect Liverpool to rival them in a €150m chase for Bellingham.

Cancelo has a €70m (£61.5m) buy clause in his loan deal, which is said to be more palatable to Madrid than Bayern, as they view him as a long-term solution at right-back.

https://therealchamps.com/2023/03/14/real-madrid-140-million-transfer-offer/

The problem is why didn't madrid think to bring a new capable striker to the club? this must become a major concern for real madrid. Since benzema was only playing at the important match and madrid was not able to make perfect results with rodrygo as a striker.

Im not sure if napoli will be willing to let Kvaratskhelia leave from the club easily as this players have not even reached 1 season in the club.

Oh finally a good transfer rumour for Real Madrid! Kvaratskhelia is a good option to play alongside with Vinicius and Cancelo is what Real Madrid need the most. Especially the second name, his ability to play in two sides of full back position is the perfect choice and I hope Perez could bring him in, by taking advantage of the relationship between Cancelo and Pep that getting worse.

Yes true, as i remember how david beckham play in real madrid before, he look hard to adaption on spain atmosphere, it's different when he play on premeir league, he look relax and and play with ihe as he is. But I think both is enough capable to adaption, they just need to learn latin language to make them easy communication for each players

Ikr, it's not a secret that English players are so hard to learn a new language, so it makes them cant play well in league outside of their country. Beckham didn't play that bad actually but he showed good performance only in his last season in Bernabeu.

Pretty interesting development. FC Bayern wants to keep Joao Cancelo in its squad, but won't trigger the €70 million option to buy him.

Bayern will definitely not trigger João Cancelo's €70m option to buy. The club would sit down with Manchester City and try to negotiate a lower fee [@cfbayern]

As a Bayern fan, I obviously hope that the club can come to an agreement with Manchester City and sign Cancelo for a lower fee. However, ofc I understand that other clubs are also interested in a transfer and that it probably won't be an easy negotiation process. Let's see how it goes, maybe €50 million would be fair for both sides?

For a long time there was a news that Neymar is going to leave PSG. Now, not only Neymar, but the two big stars of PSG, Lionel Messi and Mbappe, have decided to leave the PSG club. Mbappe has already started contact with Real Madrid, but Mbappe is now ready to move to Real Madrid, although he has fewer opportunities than before. Lionel Messi is likely to join Barcelona if Mbappe joins Real Madrid.  And Neymar can be seen in any of the three clubs Chelsea Manchester United or Manchester City of the English Premier League. Messi and Mbappe made the decision after PSG lost against Bayern Munich.

The price of football players becomes even crazier. The latest news said that if dortmund was putting €150M valuation for his release clause. The main purpose was keeping him to stay in the club even longer caused by the club still needs him until the end of his contract.

Today, that new angle comes from Spain, where Cadena SER claim that Bellingham’s relationship with his current club is growing strained as he grows concerned that their €150M valuation of him could block a transfer to England or Spain this summer.

In fact, they claim Bellingham’s frustration and anger is due to having been informed by Liverpool and Real Madrid that at that price they will both either be unwilling or unable to do a deal, while Manchester City have already moved on to other targets.

There are some rumors about real madrid prepared around €130M to buy him from dortmund. Is this to prevent real madrid to buy his clause release?
Bellingham's release clause didn't even make sense. This pure intention by dortmund itself. Jude didn't even wanna see it to happen. Jude is angry now. LMAO

In fact, maybe City will be interested in selling Haaland. It seems to me that he falls out of the City game, although he scores a lot of goals. If you remember, Guardiola kicked Ibrahimovic out of Barcelona (even though he had great stats) simply because Ibrahimovic didn't fit into his concept of the game. Is there any reason why this story cannot repeat itself?

Why would City want to sell a striker that has scored 39 goals already this season, and the season isn't over yet, thus who knows how many goals he is going to score for the team. Erling Haaland might have changed City's style of play a little bit, but he doesn't fall out of their gameplan. Pep is a genius and he has set up his team slightly in a way to find Erling more often, last season City didn't have an orthodox striker, so the team knocked the ball around a bit more and tried to penetrate the opposition defense in one way or another, but now with Erling, City have the liberty to find his runs more often and put the ball through to him to score.

Having said that, Erling and Ibrahimovich and two different characters, whilst the former is someone who does not really have a big ego and is always ready to abide by the coaches instruction, the latter had a big ego and was a sort of distraction in the dressing room.

Let's see, I still think there are many different possibilities, including such exotic ones as City being sent to the Championship for financial fraud. I don't think Haaland will be interested there.
As for the big ego, I agree, Haaland does not look the same as Ibrahimovic in this sense, but this has both pluses and minuses. He fits into the team better, but he has weaker leadership qualities that are required at critical moments.

Football has now become a sport with incredible money.  Which team would have paid 150 M € as a testimonial 10 years ago?  Cristiano Ronaldo transferred from Real Madrid to Juventus for €100 million.  Even this price shows how high the current costs are.

Haalaand's adventure in the English league has just begun and there is no reason for Haalaand to go to Manchester City at this time, Manchester City has made Haaland quite comfortable so far and Haaland has made a big contribution to Manchester City according to his price, as a rich team, surely manchester city will not sell Haalaand just like that and i don't think there is a pressing situation for manchester city to sell Haaland at this time, other than that i think Haaland will not miss his chance to be the top scorer in his first year in premier and that's why the issue of Haalaand will go from Manchester City doesn't make any sense at all unless later Manchester City will be punished as a result of the issue of the scandal they have been carrying out so far.

Two big teams from the EPL are interested in signing Pablo Gavi from Barcelona. The winner of the golden boy in 2022 seems to be starting to attract attention from the top clubs in English football and it seems that the opportunity to join Manchester City is increasingly being realized due to the good relationship with the previous Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola. But I don't think Xavi and Barcelona want to sell Gavi in the next transfer window because he is an important young talent asset and has also played an important role in the squad so far.

~snip~

There were some talks about how Real Madrid wanted Kane, because they are lacking a proper striker at the front whenever Benzema misses games, and whenever he doesn't, they can do a dual striker type of situation as well, there is nothing wrong with that. So Kane might be bought from Tottenham and that will result with the fact that we are talking about a situation where Lukaku could replace him instead.

In a world like that Kane would be sold for at least 100 million, and could play there for another 5 seasons, and Tottenham would only spend like 30-40 million at best for Lukaku and the rest will be their profit to buy players at other positions to grow better.

Rumors of Harry Kane leaving for Madrid have been circulating since the start of last season. even in the last January transfer window, Kane's name re-emerged and was linked with Real Madrid. unfortunately, some reports report that Madrid are reluctant to pay a high dowry to Spurs for Kane's services. on the other hand, Ten Hag is also interested in bringing Kane to Old Trafford. because, if Unted signed him. Kane doesn't need to adapt long to his new team, because apart from knowing the Premier League very well, Kane will also suit the style of play that Ten Hag wants.

However, on the other hand rumors circulated. that currently Tottenham are starting to negotiate a new contract to prevent Harry Kane from leaving in the transfer market next summer. so, there is no certainty that Kane is willing to play with Real Madrid or other clubs, even with The Red Devils. for Lukaku, yes, it is possible that he will play for Spurs in the coming season. after all, Lukaku has a special relationship with coach Conte. but in fact, so far everything is still based on rumours.

But I don't think Xavi and Barcelona want to sell Gavi in the next transfer window because he is an important young talent asset and has also played an important role in the squad so far.

I think this won't work because if I'm not mistaken this player is surrounded by a fantastic buy out clause of 1 billion euros by Barcelona so I don't think an offer like this will make them budge, especially with Gavi's contract conditions which are still quite long, obviously this is a strong reason .

But his current condition is not very good with several accusations and of course the bookkeeping conditions are still not balanced so if there is a bigger offer I think this can still be discussed.

[AakZaki]

Reading the news in the local media there is a problem regarding Gavi's contract with Barcelona. The new contract Barcelona awarded Gavi was declared invalid because Barcelona passed the deadline for Appeal. But this news does not seem to be final because it was only announced by lawyers in the field of court administration. But Barcelona did have serious problems because the court had warned Barcelona to reduce the cost of next season's expenses by no more than 200 million euros. If this matter of Gavi continues, then he only has a contract until June this year. Barcelona could lose Gavi.

Pretty exciting news for all FC Bayern fans: Bayern defender Alphonso Davies is in contract talks with the club. Davies' current contract runs until 2025 and his market value is about €70m according to transfermarket.com.

Bayern held initial contract talks with Alphonso Davies' reps. The talks were met with approval from the Canadian. With the 2026 World Cup in his country expected to be a career highlight for him, Davies wants to stay in his usual environment at least until then [@FrankLinkesch]

Once again very cool news from FC Bayern. Davies has made a great start at FC Bayern and has become an integral part of the club's defense. Should he extend his contract long-term, that would be great news. Both for his career and for the club ofc. I really hope that Bayern manages to extend as many contracts as possible with its top performers. And Davies is definitely one of them, if you ask me.

What do you guys think?

[cygan]

there are rumors that fc barcelona star Gavi is being linked to some premier league clubs. in view of further financial problems, the spanish top club would have to sell a few stars again this summer...

[terrorJR]

Football has now become a sport with incredible money.  Which team would have paid 150 M € as a testimonial 10 years ago?  Cristiano Ronaldo transferred from Real Madrid to Juventus for €100 million.  Even this price shows how high the current costs are.

The condition will continue to rise with the current business conditions and value for money I think.
Because indeed, if you look at the last few seasons, it seems that the price of 100 million has now become something that is commonplace, even for initial offers there are some that are more than that.
It seems that the longer the condition of football will be crazier in terms of money and business.

Mohamed Salah might be leaving Liverpool in the summer seriously. The speculations in that way are increasing day by day. Especially after this poor season he might be more likely to leave really. Liverpool might not even make it to the Champions League again as long as they play like now. They are still a very inconsistent team and Salah is also playing like that. Maybe he was very impressive against Manchester United but this still doesn't change this fact.

PSG are speculated to be interested in him for now but let's see. If he joins PSG then maybe they wouldn't even renew contract with Messi. Or one of the other members of the trio would leave his place for Salah. In that case Neymar would be likely for it as long as Mbappe doesn't leave for Real Madrid.

That's not surprising to see Mohamed Salah in PSG during the next season because he couldn't perform well in Liverpool and the fans expect more from him to be their superstar while he could be the same Mohamed Salah they want on the other hand PSG is losing players like Messi and Neymar in the next season so they have to hire another player to replace with the players they left and Salah can be a good option for them.

Haaland is one of the best players Guardiola has in the current squad. City got it at a great price. I don't think City will let him go soon. until now Haaland is still the main choice for Guardiola on the front lines. he is also a goal machine for City. the best option is to keep Haaland. and Guardiola certainly understands it all.

I know that the whole transfer market is full of speculation and rumors and in a lot of cases those rumors are really just some made up stuff by medias or other people, but that rumor now that is claiming that Pep Guardiola wants Erling Haaland to leave Manchester City is just absolutely stupid and makes no sense at all. Haaland is performing very well and probably better than anyone expected and what also should not be forgotten is the fact, that Manchester City paid not only a transfer fee for him but also around 30 Million € as a bonus to his greedy father. So they have spent a lot of money on Haaland and i doubt they want to sell him again so soon.

I agree, there isn't any manager in the world who wouldn't want Haaland on their team, even without the whole money thing, they would not really be firing him or selling him or anything like that. Yesterday is a proof that he is a great player and every team needs a striker like that, dude has scored like 100 goals or something already .

Where are they going to get another player like that, it is impossible to find a player like that and we are going to end up with a good return for sure. The best thing to do would be making sure that they keep him until he retires, we are talking about a player that will be a superstar for at least another 10 years.
