⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Docnaster]

The speculations of Messi's return to Barcelona are now hitting up and it seems likely that a move can happen in the summer as Barcelona President has mentioned that the club is talking to Messi's camp and discussions taking place already. I think Barcelona is also putting in place measures to satisfy every financial fair play rules if Messi is to join eventually.

Barcelona has considered everything wisely, they will not take any action that could harm the club. Bringing Messi back to Camp Nou is a management priority, Xavi has also started to actively build communication with Messi. The good relationship between the two was one of the reasons Messi returned to Camp Nou.
The first step Barcelona must take is increasing their finances to comply with financial fair play rules, Messi's salary is still too high, unless he lowers it to help the club that has made him what he is today.

Yes Messi must get ready to accept salary cuts if they return to Barcelona. The consequences are based on the state of the contemporary of the club that is not okay.
But if Messi is willing to reduce his salary it will be a beautiful story for Barcelona and Messi. For La Pulga, Barcelona is a special piece in its brilliant gait. He is more famous and has won many titles with Blaugrana.

Conversely, if PSG is able to increase a higher offer to him, it could be that the Argentine national team captain will survive. But clearly speculation about the future of Messi will always be interesting to discuss. Let's wait for the summer transfer market 2023 later.

Barcelona's interest to bring Lionel Messi back to the Camp Nou has been confirmed by the club's vice president himself Rafael Yuste which means that it's 100% true as speculated but the big question is will Lionel Messi return back to Camp Nou again after he was embarrassingly asked to leave the club despite cutting his wages to adapt to the club's financial challenges as at that time?
Lionel Messi is unarguably Barcelona's biggest footballer in the history of the club and has inexplicable passion for the club and in his teary farewell message to the club's fans he promised them he'll surely gonna be to Barcelona again in the future but I don't think he meant coming back as a footballer again. We keep our fingers crossed and see what happens in the coming days concerning the transfer deal

The latest news about a contract extension has come from the English Premier League. Luke Shaw, who is a full back from Manchester United, has agreed to a 4-year contract extension. Surely this is good news for Red Devils supporters, because Luke Shaw's role is so important for Manchester United this season and sometimes he can also fill the position as a center back if Martinez or Varane are absent. Erik ten hag is also pleased with the presence of Luke Shaw in his main squad this season and for Luke Shaw the contract extension proves that his love for the Old Trafford public is extraordinary.

He made the correct decision to stay back in his team. He his valued and respected there, and he might not get that if he joins another team. He's a crucial player who Manchester United desperately needs right now. His position as Manchester United's full back has brought the team more success; finding a replacement for him will be difficult. However, with this contract extension, Eric Ten Hag will be at ease knowing that he will not have to scout for a replacement or groom another player to fit into that position.

That's right, Luke Shaw's role so far has been very helpful for the development of Manchester United's back line and with this contract extension it proves the trust of club management and also Erik ten hag. For the left-back position besides Luke Shaw there is also Tyrell Malacia and in my opinion Malacia is also quite good as a cover for Luke Shaw. Malacia is still young and her future will be bright if she stays and waits for her turn as the main line-up for Manchester United, so I think for now it is impossible for Erik ten Hag to buy a new player for the left-back position.

I have been hearing rumours like Leicester want to see Maguire back in the team on a loan deal. If this is true I think Manchester United should lean towards such deal. They can even try to put a condition to buy him as well for Leicester. Because Maguire isn't a part of the starting eleven anymore. He is just an option in the subs and I support Erik ten Hag about this decision as well.

Even in this situation I think Manchester United can find a better alternative for him to replace his place in the subs. I don't see him as a trustworthy defender because he can't play consistently I'm afraid.

Since his first time at Manchester United, Harry Maguire has not been able to show his best game. But the previous coaches always made him the first choice, everything changed after ERik Ten Hag took over the coaching chair. In his hands, Harry Maguire sat more on the bench, this was inseparable from the good appearance of the 2 new defenders who were partnered by Ten Hag. So I also agree if he leaves the team even though his status is a loan player.

This is good news for Manchester United fans, they will be happy to see their club have secured the signature one of their important players in the first team. Luke Shaw has been really helpful and of immense value to the squad, I think Erik Ten Hag will be happy with this development as Luke Shaw will boost their options and as well add power to their defensive lines.

I guess meguire will be very happy if he will able to come back again to his old club. meguire was a hero for all of the leicester city fans. Having him in the club will be better for the leicester city. It seems like MU is also giving a green light for him to come back to his old club as loan. As long as leicester will be able to pay full his salary and MU will be agreed with it.

There has been many rumors about that there are so many clubs that interested to sign him as players. I really fully support him to go back again since he was not getting lots of time to play in the main squad.

The Manchester United centre-back faces limited game time in the run-in both at home and abroad after returning to Old Trafford from England duty. Now Brendan Rodgers is keen to take him back to the Foxes, where he was a massive hero.

MU is also being rumored to sign more defenders in summer. Meguire may never play again in the main squad. Meguire can still prove it if he is still worthy to be considered as a profesional player by manchester united.

It will be good if he will able come back as permanent status to the leicester city.

Sunday's transfer gossip:

Manchester City and Real Madrid have made RB Leipzig's 21-year-old Croatia defender Josko Gvardiol their top centre-back target, and the German side would want £75m. Croatian defender Guardiol is on his way to becoming the most expensive defender in football history. Where will they end up? England or Spain?
Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy has told former manager Mauricio Pochettino he does not want the Argentine to return to the club during talks over a potential return. What happened between the club and their former coach?
Argentina forward Lionel Messi, 35, will not take a pay cut to stay at Paris St-Germain.
Messi's options, should he choose to leave the French champions, include an offer from Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal and a return to Barcelona. What will Messi decide in the end? There are rumors that he would most like to return to Barcelona, but can Barcelona pay him?
Italian manager Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed Brazil want to appoint him as their coach, however he wants to stay at Real Madrid. How realistic is it that Ancelotti will remain the coach of Real if the club does not win any trophies this season? It seems to me that only winning the Champions League can save his job.

According to media reports, Messi's wife and children want to return to Barcelona. In fact, there were reports earlier that they were having a hard time adjusting to their life in Paris. However, Messi continued to stay at Paris Saint-Germain FC. But this time his contract expires at the end of the season. Pressure from his family may also be effective in his new decision. Therefore, if he does not stay in Paris Saint-Germain FC, I do not think he will go to the Arab League. It is very likely that he will return to Barcelona again.

PSG want Messi to join his club longer and they want Messi to press a new contract, so far Messi is open to negotiating with PSG even though there doesn't seem to be a final decision yet, but recently there have been rumors saying that Messi is interested in extending his contract for 1 year with PSG .
Although his family has struggled to adjust to life in Paris, on the other hand his father says that Messi will definitely not be returning to Barcelona in the near future.

Other rumors have come from Man United regarding their interest in persuading David De Gea to extend his contract. But the reason is that so far the goalkeeper has not been able to give an official statement about whether he will stay or not. Therefore, there is another discussion where the Man United manager is preparing a goalkeeper option, namely David Raya from Brentford. Even though Brentford are still comfortable with this one goalkeeper, Brentford principle is not to force his players if they really want to leave in the summer. David Raya also said that he wanted to have experience at a bigger club, so if this deal happened it would not rule out that Man United would take him to Old Trafford.

Lionel Messi returns to Barcelona is of nothing, what will he be coming  back to do ? . Instead of Barcelona he should just follow Ronaldo's step look for a club that can offer to pay him very well .
Barcelona needs young players to strengthen the team more, not people like Messi that is losing strength in performance as time counts.

I guess you've not been watching Lionel Messi. He may be getting old, he may not be as strong and good as he used to but he's still an asset every big club in Europe will like to have in their team. There may be a few downside on Barcelona if they sign Messi, but his performance is not one of them. Messi is still among the best players in the world right now. You saw what he did in the world cup, you also saw his performance for Argentina during the international break (if you watched).  Right now Messi has over 50 goal and assist this season, and that is his bad season. How many players in Europe today have over 50 G/A this season alone?

Messi would be a very big asset to Barcelona but the problem is, they might go back to the way they used to and just keep relying on him, making it difficult to strengthen the squad because the weak links won't be noticed much. Another issue is that players like Raphinha, Dembele and Ferran won't have enough playing time to develop because Messi would be a starter ahead of them. Also, Messi's salary might make it a little difficult to recruiting big players because there might be no money to pay them and Messi.

David de Gea joined Manchester United in 2011 and until now means he has been in the red devil uniform for more than 1 decade. Actually, De Gea is still very good as Manchester United's main goalkeeper, but as far as I know De Gea has never hesitated to give everything for Manchester United and it is only this time that I find out that he is starting to hesitate to consider the offer of a contract extension. David Raya is one of the best goalkeepers in the English league and I think if Erik ten Hag is interested in signing him to replace De Gea later that would be great. However, we still have to wait for the latest news whether De Gea will really leave or not.

The recent news from this rumour is Manchester United has attempt to give De Gea contract extension but he was refuse that offer and some rumours said why De Gea refuse new contract from Manchester United because he want higher salary than the current contract but the negotiations still on going and both sides will find a way out to determine De Gea's future in this team however besides that apparently Manchester United is ready to lost De Gea if negotiations fail and recent rumour is Porto goalkeeper Diogo Costa is in Manchester United radar and he could be an alternative options if De Gea decided to left

I won't be surprised if Benzema chooses to leave Real Madrid in the summer. I know that he made a statement like he would like to finish his career at Real Madrid but we still never know what the future can bring us.

I don't know how long Real Madrid are planning to continue with him above all else. Maybe they don't have plans to sell him yet. But Benzema doesn't need to stay until the end of his career in fact. Because he must have already achieved all of his goals with this team. He had an unforgettable season last year as you know. He has collected the most reputable prize for himself also. Maybe it might be the time for him to make some changes in his life. This can really happen especially if Real Madrid find a good alternative to him meanwhile.

It would be sad to see such a quick transition from Ballon d'Or to retirement, but in fact it would make sense. Benzema has achieved everything in football and given that he retired from the national team, the next "end" (at club level) will be easier for him. Although if he chooses a big contract and a couple of years in Saudi Arabia, then I think that everyone will be happy.

However, we still have to wait for the latest news whether De Gea will really leave or not.

With De Gea's long-deserved contribution, he decided to leave and no one could stop him. After all, De Gea has given everything for The Red Devils, even from year to year he has completed his duties. Once again, in my opinion, it is only natural that De Gea finally decides to leave and no longer wants to extend his contract.

The recent news from this rumour is Manchester United has attempt to give De Gea contract extension but he was refuse that offer and some rumours said why De Gea refuse new contract from Manchester United because he want higher salary than the current contract but the negotiations still on going and both sides will find a way out to determine De Gea's future in this team however besides that apparently Manchester United is ready to lost De Gea if negotiations fail and recent rumour is Porto goalkeeper Diogo Costa is in Manchester United radar and he could be an alternative options if De Gea decided to left

The decision that De Gea took has shown his satisfaction at Manchester United. We all know that the replacement option will be exercised in the summer whether it's David Raya or whoever is sure that the task of guarding Manchester United's defense is very tough and with a club of this size it will take a long time to really adjust. Ready or not, De Gea is already a Manchester United legend and his name will be clearly displayed in the Old Trafford museum.

Also, Messi's salary might make it a little difficult to recruiting big players because there might be no money to pay them and Messi.

Messi continues to be in the spotlight due to PSG failure in the Champions League, PSG fans increasingly ridicule Messi for not being able to bring PSG to win the Champions League. Now Messi's future is being speculated, his contract with PSG is valid until June 2023. At an increasingly old age, it has not reduced the interest of big clubs in Europe to use his services, he can still be relied on even though he is not able to run as fast as he used to.

It is difficult to find players who always maintain their performance at a high level. Almost every year he always looks good, he is also very active in scoring goals and providing assists. He will not make blunders in his career, offers from Arab clubs are indeed very tempting, but his status is not an outcast player from the club he has defended which is difficult to find a new club. Barcelona are still trying to sign Messi, maybe he will have a new role under Xavi. Barcelona already has top players on the front lines, Messi can be placed as a playmaker who serves the attackers in the front row.

We can still read in the online news about the possibility that the Saudi Arabian club will buy Benzema, Modric and Segio Ramos, and there are rumors that Al Nassr will do that

at almost 40 years old, I see these three players better playing in the Arab league because currently only clubs from the Arab league can accommodate them all at once

playing for money at the end of their career I think is a very reasonable reason

Once again, in my opinion, it is only natural that De Gea finally decides to leave and no longer wants to extend his contract.

From his recent interview it seems like he wants to stay at United. He has been the oldest player at the club and his contributions towards the club immense. His contract is about to expire and United haven't proceeded with extension talks so no progress in that right now. I personally don't think he will leave the club at all. At the end this will be done. Ten Haag also wants their first goalkeeper to stay so let's see how board feels about it now. It's a busy schedule for them so naturally they will be lot more focused on the games right now but I am pretty sure they will do something about this situation in the end.

[bekti3]

I'm getting bored with this because every player transfer update is sure to include him in the news which is always busy. But actually the conditions remain the same as before, with Barcelona still having difficulties in balancing their cash book conditions and with those who are still having financial difficulties, it is certain that Messi will not be there.

Just ignore any rumore related to the messi. Let barcelona sell some players first before talking about bringing back messi to the camp nou. Barcelona will never ever able to bring back messi if it's still having bad financial conditions.
I may believe that messi will be moving there if barcelona already sold some players and got bunch of money from selling its players. So much media was always trying to linked him to the barcelona caused by that was also the hottest topic that is attracting treffic.

Gavi may leave barcelona in the summer. This guy may be leaving barcelona with a free transfer agent. I hope that gavi will be moving to another league like EPL. that will be so good to have him joined in one of big club in EPL.

They need fresh funds of more than 170 million now to balance their cash book in terms of transfers on the other hand they also need to release several players who are not really used there for that but they still hope to be greedy with Messi is something that is like dropping into the abyss.
At the moment Gavi's contract is still in trouble because previously the contract renewal was canceled and there needs to be something real for this because otherwise I agree with you that the possibility of him leaving is quite high.

Either the club preparing something big and promising for de gea ... or simply the club can't offer much as the salary demand that usually become a problem for a player like de gea , loyal player that ask for more , or could be united waiting for the takeover to be conpleted so they would have a fresh funding.

It's been reported that de gea turned down the first contract extension offer few days ago , he had his salary got cut in the last couple of the season and looking to gain back what he sacrificed for the club but united dishonored him.

[D-law]

I have been hearing rumours like Leicester want to see Maguire back in the team on a loan deal. If this is true I think Manchester United should lean towards such deal. They can even try to put a condition to buy him as well for Leicester. Because Maguire isn't a part of the starting eleven anymore. He is just an option in the subs and I support Erik ten Hag about this decision as well.

Even in this situation I think Manchester United can find a better alternative for him to replace his place in the subs. I don't see him as a trustworthy defender because he can't play consistently I'm afraid.

I expect him to leave next season, his faith with the club is uncertain
Leicester has been a good home for him a good deal can be strucked to send him back
He has been watched saying how much impact he adds to the club but we both know he adds nothing but pressure to the defense
