⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Bobrox]

Benzema extended his contract with Real Madrid but he is not a young player and there is not any benefit for Real Madrid if you ask me, because he is 35 right now and getting old in this team also time after time he gets injured more than the previous season in Real Madrid which mean his performance in decreasing, I guess real Madrid will start seeking for younger players soon.

Report from several media, Karim Benzema have extended one year contract with Real Madrid after his contract expiry on June 2023, seems good choose for Real Madrid keep extended him for one years later and rumor have interested from Saudi Arabia team want to sign him on next window transfer opening.

Not problem with Karim Benzema have been 35 years old because he still on the top performance and consistency scoring goals for Madrid in this season on La Liga and Champion League, during not get injured I sure Karim Benzema still favorite forward for Carlo Ancelotti except there are not any back up attacking line for filling Karim Benzema position.

Best we sell him to Bayern Munich with a buyback clause although if they won't want to buy him with such contracts then we let go off him completely. I think we shouldn't be selling tu a premier league rival as our players sold to teams in the kids position always hurt is back. Mason mount at Liverpool could cause problem if he achieved success as Mo Salah did but Mount success at Bayern Munich won't hurt Chelsea as they won't be competing in the premier league. We might only be hurt if we meets in the champions league but that doesn't happen often. There's no doubt of mount talent but I still don't understand why he can't accept the contract.

Yeah will be better off at Bayern if possible. However Liverpool have been actively looking for a midfielder and recent rumours are suggesting that Bellingham to Liverpool is less likely so Liverpool will be going on after him as with his current situation at Chelsea, Liverpool might get him at a bargain here. I haven't looked into his situation with Chelsea but whatever it is Chelsea are about to lose a very good attacking midfielder. You seem like a Chelsea fan so was Mount offered a contract extension? If so seems like Mount wants a good raise maybe?

Harry Kane is still Manchester United's priority in the summer transfer window seemingly. But Manchester United won't be the only team interested in him also.

So many striker has been linked to the united. I would prefer to get osimhen rather than kane as osimhen is far younger and he has more productivity compared with totenham. It will be more suitable for MU rather than try to buy an old striker with non sense price like him. Just let him stay in totenham with no trophy until end of his career. That's his choice.
It would better for MU to hunt osimhen caused by this striker is good right now playing in napoli. I will not even support MU to get kane. He is bad.

Bayern Munich will also be an interested team most probably. They have been the team to have been speculated with his name the most for a long time actually. Bayern Munich said that they weren't interested back then. Because they weren't thinking of making such a big signing in the middle of the season. But in the summer things can be more different. I don't think they will continue with only Choupo-Moting. I think it is visible that they are much better when they have a striker like Lewandowski.

Tuchel already tried to give kay havertz a spot in bayern. I think that bayern will not even be interested to buy kane too. Kai havertz is far better than harry kane. To be honest, using so much money to buy old striker that has not even won prestigious trophies are waste of money.
Kane is very suitable to stay in totenham even longer. Kane is a part of totenham forever.

Harry Kane is someone who could easily replace Lewandowski. Harry Kane is a player who can really be very compatible in attacking Manchester United. Harry Kane can unleash his talents on any team. One of the best forwards right now and to have such a forward. It takes teams like Bayern Munich and Manchester United to a separate level. I think Harry Kane will stay in England and continue to play there. If Bayern Munich insists and increases the offer, then of course things may change.

Do you think Real Madrid will let Karim Benzema go this summer?

Why not, we know that Arab clubs in the Saudi Pro League that have the financial ability will make attractive offers to star players even though they are old and approaching retirement age. I am quite sure that there are Arab clubs that really provide attractive offers to Real Madrid in order to let Benzema go they will let him go and use the money to find players that suit them and are still young because Real Madrid needs a younger striker who will give them a big contribution next season so they can compete with Barca in laliga next seasons.

I also thought like you, if Real Madrid wanted to let Benzema go, they would definitely get enough money to buy other young players. But we don't know what will happen in the summer, it is highly likely that Benzema will continue his career in the Middle East league because he is still good enough to play at the club level of Europe's top leagues.

As reported by Transfermarkt, Karim Benzema is now starting to be eyed by one of the Saudi Arabian league teams Al-Ittihad. As we know, the Middle East League is incessantly hunting for European players who are now about to retire and if Karim Benzema accepts an offer from Al-Ittihad, of course he will receive a fantastic salary like Cristiano Ronaldo, who has now joined Al -Nassr. Karim Benzema's contract with Real Madrid will also expire in June this summer and if Real Madrid does not immediately offer a contract extension then the opportunity for Benzema to join the Middle Eastern club will be very wide open. Do you think Real Madrid will let Karim Benzema go this summer?

Kerim benzema still has very good stats. If he leaves Real Madrid, he can be transferred to one of the stronger teams in the champions league. For example, PSG can cover his annual fee. Also, other teams will probably want to sign him. On the other hand, if Real Madrid send him out of the team, they will have to make a deal with one of the quality names like Osimhen or Harry Kane. Otherwise, they will not be able to fill his void and will fail in both league and European cups. I am not commenting on the interest of Arab clubs in star football players. They can sign any star player they can convince.

That's normal for many famous top European superstar players to receive offers from the Arabian teams whenever they get old and Ronaldo was one good example, Real Madrid expected his contract because he still can fit in his position on this team and compared to many other players he got good stats however the reality of his getting old is whats Real Madrid knows and that's why they are looking for players like Osimhen with younger age to take his place.

Regarding returning Messi to Barcelona Xavi said he will be happy to see Messi return to Barcelona which can be a green light from him. However they have many financial problems with salaries, the last issue was Gavi, and Barcelona has to sell him because of that, but I get if Messi wants to return to Barcelona and finish his career there, he needs to give Barcelona a discount for his salary.

https://www.football-espana.net/2023/03/31/xavi-on-lionel-messi-return-its-normal-people-are-excited-its-a-last-dance-like-michael-jordan

I don't know, in this case, I still feel that for Messi, actually this is just exaggerated news.
The reason is simple in this case, Barcelona still have to reduce players due to their instability in the cash book so when they force to bring back Messi will they break back like they did when Gavi's contract was not registered. But sticking with it means Barcelona never learn of their problems and I don't really like their style.

I don't think young players will replace Benzema in the team. Madrid knows their needs up front, selling Benzema, of course, must get a replacement for players who are also experienced and have good performance. it doesn't matter if it's 2 or 3 seasons. it is to guard against how Madrid will face strong European competition.
there are also rumors that Moh Salah is on Madrid's radar to replace Benzema.

In La Liga, Barcelona was good enough even after Messi's departure made Barcelona have to rise from adversity. Starting from the financial crisis to the salaries of the players. Now it's starting to come back with the requirement that Messi's salary must be able to adjust to Barcelona's income if you want to be in Barcelona's ranks. So it's just a matter of waiting for whether Messi will agree and give up everything. Instead of being at PSG where it doesn't make you comfortable anymore, I don't think there is any other choice for Messi.

So far Messi is still using the PSG jersey until the contract period ends, but rumors of Messi leaving PSG have graced the conversation in many sports media. even before, he had been linked with several big European clubs, including clubs from the Arab League and American league clubs. however, several other rumors growing strongly towards Barcelona. Messi is reported to be returning to Camp Nou, the club that raised his name.

On the other hand, several newspapers reported that Lionel Messi would reportedly remain at PSG before moving to MLS. even so, contract negotiations with the star are still ongoing until now. PSG are reportedly finalizing details to offer Messi a second contract extension after failing to reach an agreement. so, there are so many confusing rumors regarding Messi. even if Messi left for Barcelona. As a Barcelona fan, I don't know how to respond. why, because currently Barcelona already has a lot of young players. if Messi comes to Camp Nou, there will automatically be players excluded. even so, we just follow every development. whether Messi will stay with PSG, or will he return to Barcelona, let's wait.

there are also rumors that Moh Salah is on Madrid's radar to replace Benzema.

Older age will make it more susceptible to injury and can reduce performance.
Real Madrid must prepare a new quality young player to replace his role.
Apart from Moh Salah, Real Madrid are also reportedly eyeing several new players whose quality cannot be doubted, such as Darwin Nunez, Richarlison, Gabriel Jesus and Cody Gakpo.
I'm sure Real Madrid have prepared big funds to take one of them and this has to be done.

I heard that Lionel Messi was in talks with Barcelona about his future. I don't know what happened after that. Does Messi not want to go to Barcelona anymore? I would be much happy to see Messi play for Barcelona instead of just thinking his career is finished and going to the Saudi League. Lionel Messi still has at least one more season 2 play at the top of the football competition.

The future of PSG was destroyed by themselves. No reason to blame Messi alone. Yes, Messi did not perform as he was supposed to but his performance was good enough.

The latest news is that Barcelona is also considering Lionel Messi to be brought back to Camp Nou, but if you look at their current financial condition it seems difficult to realize. Everything is still possible and will become clearer when the management have announced their decision for next season.

The condition of the squad owned by PSG is actually quite good, but we don't see the ideal mix when they play. I don't think the coach is able to integrate the existing players, so it looks difficult to keep up with the matches in the Champions League.

Here no one blaming Messi for this failure here we have all peoples those are involved in management are responsible for this because only stars can't win trophies we also need good and visionary coaches as well which are having enough mindset for bringing timely changes and winning strategy which helps for having better results here PSG fail to do this, and they are again on losing end for this all with this failure now we have many stories how things are going for the future and what is coming new here even nothing is sure because mostly are media talks and personal views about this all, but surely we will have the good number of changes in coming season with Neymar and Messi both are involved in good number of stories with coach is also having no secure future so let's wait for the end of this season and new arrivals here with can they bring change of fortune as well.

If you pay attention to the fans who try to blame Lionel Messi for the conditions they experienced in the Champions League and that's what happened. It is more ideal if next season they have a qualified coach to combine players and strategy, because if you look at the players they currently have it is impossible not to give maximum results.

If Neymar and Lionel Messi leave, then PSG will also prepare their replacements for next season, for this problem I don't think it's so difficult for PSG, but if the coach they have is still the same, then the opportunity to compete in the Champions League is very difficult for PSG in Next season.

I feel it wouldn't be so easy for Messi to make a move to Saudi Arabia, it was easier for Ronaldo due to the circumstances surrounding his time at Manchester United. At the time no team was willing to bear his wages and the responsibility of managing a player like Ronaldo especially after seeing how his Manchester United spell ended and Saudi move was the best option at that time so it was easy to make the switch but for Lionel Messi the case is different, I don't think it will be an easy decision for Messi.

Those are just rumors circulating in several media and of course there is no clarity regarding Lionel Messi's future until now, so anything can still happen. Let's see what surprises will be in store for the transfer market going forward, especially for the future of Lionel Messi and Barcelona.

Nobody can replace Benzema at Real, he will go down in history as one of their best strikers ever. He has won everything with them multiple times. Salah is a wide forward, he isn’t the same type of player. If Real want to replace Benzema there are only really Haaland and Osimhen who can step into his shoes.

How quick are we to dispose of players like that? This dude won ballon d'or just last year, and within span of one season you start to think he is too old to not sign again? I would not be in support of that, I think he is a great player and that is why it would be smart to just sign him for a few more years at least until it becomes "obvious" that he can't play.

This season he has been injured a few times and missed some games, but on the games he played he was still a good striker that they needed. They do not have anyone to replace him neither, they aimed at Mbappe and if they got him then I would agree that Benzema is no longer needed, but they have nobody else now.

Well Benzema aint young anymore and cannot play all matches in the entire season. In the entire season you have 70+ matches and he needs a good substitute. But you cannot put on the bench Haaland or Oshimen that are playing on the top level.

According to some news, Manchester United can have a higher chance of signing Frenkie de Jong if Barcelona go for Ilkay Gundogan in the summer. Because it has been reported that they are really serious about signing Gundogan whose contract is ending in the summer. Manchester City don't seem willing to extend his contract anymore. Maybe they want to make the squad younger I don't know.

He is 32 years old now maybe but he is a really experienced player as well. Barcelona could make use of a player like him. However I don't think it would be wise to give up on de Jong for him. de Jong is a much better option for the team considering his age too.

Although no one has been able to replace Benzema's position, it must be admitted that Benzema's age will affect his declining performance. Real Madrid really have to build a new squad for next season, not only strikers, but the left and right full-backs also have to find a replacement or second layer. Because we now know that the weakness of the Real Madrid squad is at the wing-backs, so Real Madrid often concede goals.

Yes, Haaland is suitable to replace Benzeman as a striker. There are rumors that Real Madrid will also sign Man City full-back Joao Cancelo to replace Dani Carvajal.

Manchester United have wanted Frenkie de Jong in their squad for a long time, but Barcelona also want this player because he is one of the most important players on the pitch. But if Barcelona want another player, it's clear this will be an opportunity for Manchester United to approach him to make a decent offer so he is also interested in playing at Manchester United next season. The problem is, is it true that Barcelona will be more interested in other players and let him go?

I don't think this would be a logical move for Barcelona. İlkay Gündoğan can now be a good backup for Barcelona, however. There are much better young players, a more dynamic team this Barca has. I'm not sure how Gündoğan would fit there. It's not easy to give up on Frenkie de Jong. The player wanted to stay at Barca, but I think there are people, maybe agents trying to tempt him. I hope it will be the best for Barcelona. Dropping De Jong and getting Gündoğan into the starting 11 would be a downgrade. I think everyone will agree with it.

[ILuckyGuyI]

David de Gea looks like he is happy at Manchester United now and he is willing to extend his contract sooner rather than later.

However his contract is ending on June 2023 and I still don't see any offer by Manchester United to keep him longer. There has been even some speculations like they will be in search of another goalkeeper and after that they will make their final decision about de Gea. Honestly I wouldn't recommend them to lose a great goalkeeper like him. He is still very impressive with his saves this season. He has played a big role in many games by preventing point losses for his team. They don't need a new main goalkeeper.
