⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[bering]

Mirror claims that Bayern Munich are thinking of signing Ollie Watkins in case of not being able to convince Harry Kane to sign for them in the summer. However it doesn't seem very realistic to me honestly. Because Watkins is surely a skilled centre-forward but I believe that there is a huge difference between him and Kane now. Kane is literally one of the best strikers in the world currently.

We haven't even seen Watkins playing for one of top European teams yet. I think that it would be a big risk to take for Bayern Munich if this rumour turns out to be true. They have already been continuing with Choupo-Moting and they shouldn't take another risk again. Maybe there is no guarantee about Kane to play superbly there also. But at least he is more convincing to do well compared to Watkins. Besides it would be the best for Bayern Munich to sign a striker whose characteristics are similar to Lewandowski - Kane looks like the best alternative for now.

Ollie Watkins is one underrated young player who is capable of leading the next generation attack for Bayern Munich after Lewandowski's departure. He is fast and capable of scoring many goals but it will be a risk because he is still young and lack that much experience to play for a top club. Nevertheless I would opt to take the risk if I were the manager for Bayern Munich, it might turn out to be a good move after all, who knows 

Ollie Watkins currently 27 years old so i don't think he will be categorized as young player anymore and indeed with Aston Villa he was reach to his top performance and the records 11 goals from 14 latest matches with Aston Villa makes Tuchel interested to bought him just in case if Bayern failed to gets Kane from Tottenham and besides that i am sure Watkins price cheaper than Kane price so he could be good alternative player for Tuchel

I think Aston Villa will don't mind if Bayern really want to buy him because the money from the sale of Watkins can be used to buy other players and Aston Villa really required more players for next season especially Aston Villa will playing at european competitions and indeed i have seen Watkins records that he has stable performance even while still at Brentford Watkins can able to scores more than 10 goals for each seasons but indeed because he was came from small teams it makes people didn't recognized his talent

The recent rumours have been telling that Manchester City are on a new duty to extend Haaland's contract. He has technically four more years on his current contract. However there have been news all around like his contract consists of a secret condition as well. After playing one more season for Manchester City there will be a release clause to be activated for him.

If this really happens in the summer of 2024 then it might be difficult for Manchester City to keep him any longer. Because he seems to be open for playing some other big European teams later. His father has also made a statement on this situation before. If Manchester City don't find a way to convince him for staying longer then I think his next team would be Real Madrid. It depends on whether Real Madrid sign Mbappe until then of course.

I'm sure Manchester City will still try to give their best to keep Erling Haaland at Manchester City because Kunic's victory in every game that Manchester City has passed has also been influenced by Erling Haaland, so it seems unlikely that Manchester City will release Erling Haaland with ease. Erling Haaland's career at Manchester City skyrocketed very quickly with excellent teamwork, and it is not certain that you can get it at other football clubs.

Erling Haaland is a very good player, he has all the skills that a striker should have. At Manchester City he received an excellent supply of balls, and that made it easier for him to be able to find loopholes to be able to score goals in every match. To be honest, I like players who want to keep looking for experience from one team to another, not just sit back and look for security in their position. Erling Haaland's ability is indeed suitable for playing in big European teams.

The success of Manchester City this season was majorly contributed by Haaland.  The goals from Manchester City majority was scored by Haaland,  if not for Haaland Manchester City wouldn't have been able to be at the first position in Premier league, Haaland remains the best for Manchester city.

I laughed at that, it's only going to make things worse for Chelsea. Chelsea's players are not so bad, all the problems started from the management of the coach who was so bad that it caused big problems that are now hitting Chelsea. I think it's better for Todd to improve team management by finding the right coach. I know Todd's goal is to cut the salaries of old players so he can bring in new players to restore Chelsea's performance, but I say it's too late, Chelsea will not be able to catch up if only relying on new players. I see that it seems that Lampard is the same, it is too difficult for Lampard to be able to fix all of this.

All the times Abramovich departure made Chelsea better but in fact everything only made it worse. Even Todd Boehly doesn't seem to care about how Chelsea is feeling this season. Todd made the purchase, spending large sums of money and the controversy over the selection of players was unimportant. I prefer to call it a player that is not that important to buy. It's like Mudryk who was bought out of respect for Ukraine, but Chelsea football doesn't just talk about that kind of thing. There is something much more important that has been going on for a long time. Noni Madueke, Andrey Santos, Benoit Badiashile, David Fofana, and others even though they are not really needed properly. Fired Tuchel and brought in Potter, then replaced Potter by bringing in Lampard who was not too qualified. Aren't Todd Boehly's many decisions that really don't need to be made if he really understands football?

[Tumanggor]

I really appreciate Harry Kane's loyalty to Tottenham, but he also has to think that as a player he needs trophies to get him, and at Tottenham it's very difficult to get that. He needs to get out of his comfort zone at the moment otherwise he won't have enough courage to go out and move on from Tottenham. In fact, he had many targets from the previous season, it's just that he was still comfortable at Tottenham even though he didn't win the title.

Until now, I still can't stop thinking about what exactly made Harry Kane feel at home in Tottenham, the loyalty he gave seemed pointless, especially as Tottenham barely had a chance to get a trophy

if harry kane chooses to move to another team like man utd or bayern, he has a great chance to be at the peak of his career, and get the ucl trophy at least once in his life

Even so, hopefully Harry Kane changes his mind and chooses to move to a new club

Well ... everyone start blaming todd boehly for his total failure despite have sacrificed nearly 1 billion in just a single sector of buying players , he knew it .. he knew the consequences so yeah he will just be quiet and the total success later in the next 5 to 20 years become his noise talking about how he sacrifices everything.

Total rebuild takes time and it cost a lot ... plus super hurting , chelsea on its way ... not just in transfer window, chelsea got nkunku already who will join the team in a couple months, we'll see how this striker help chelsea scoring goals after goals.

There are rumors of all Chelsea players taking a 30% pay cut since they won't be having a spot at the champions league next season and this I think will be among the major reason many players will be leaving the club next season. Football in this modern ages is all about money and no players really carries that love for the club narrative anymore because the club can always fail you at anytime, take a look at the situation with Mason mount, he's a grassroots Chelsea blood but the club doesn't care since he isn't accepting their offer. Same thing can happen to anyone, gone are the days why players had an advantage if they put the club first, now they have to put themselves.
.

Taking a 30% pay cut in their salary is not a good idea. The management of the club is struggling and some of the key players looking for a possible exits in the upcoming transfer window. Chelsea has already suffered enough defeats, and it's high time for them to start winning games, because I'm worried they'll wrap up up in the relegation zone. Chelsea will continue discussions with Mauricio Pochettino this week in order to finalize a deal to hire him as the club's new coach after replacing Graham Potter with Frank Lampard, who's actually terrible at the moment. The board of directors is eager to bring Mauricio Pochettino to Stamford Bridge, and he has been a good priority coach for the club this season. As fans gain confidence in the board's ability to close the deal, the discussion will reach critical stages.

Pochettino is a joke. He can't handle stars very well as he has shown at PSG.

The salary cut isn't a result of a short-sighted decision. It is implemented in most of players' contracts as is written here. Not all of them are equally affected, but it is true that some are going to lose out on 30% of their salaries and it is exactly the right way to pay soccer players. There is no point in paying them if they deny to deliver proper work. It is time that these salaries get cut even more. What the heck is going on with Chelsea? It is unbelievable how that team performs this season. It's almost a shame that they still get 70% of their salaries. People are paying money for the tickets and for all those subscriptions to watch their favorite team and the team is just burning over half a billion dollars that Boehly already put into the squad.

let's compare, in the transfer market last winter. every major club, resisted the urge to shop for their coveted player. because, they want to make sure which players will be retained and which players suit the needs of the team. then, they will be looking for the ideal player in the transfer window next summer.

Let's see what Todd Boehly does. he did something the big clubs never do. in fact, Liverpool only brought in 1 player, namely Gakpo. whereas, this team is both in trouble like Chelsea. we'll see, from some of the players he brought in in the transfer market last winter. there is only 1 player who can really adapt well, namely, Enzo Fernandez.  the rest, everything is in shambles.  one more thing, Todd Boehly brought in a winger from Shakhtar Donetsk with a dowry of 100 million euros. but in fact, he did not show a slick performance. in fact, tends to be a reserve player. so, it was clear that this mistake was not Potter's will. but Todd's fault as Chelsea's big boss, as well as a technical director whose capacity is very doubtful.
Now Chelsea's position is ranked 12th. so, don't expect them to finish in the top 4 of the standings. because, it seems almost impossible with only 6 matches left. the point is, Todd Boehly must choose a coach who can really bring Chelsea in a better direction next season.

It is actually hard to understand what Chelsea will have to do so that they can actually fix the problems that they are going through. At this moment I know probably a change of authority is going to do a lot better for Chelsea.

But at the same time, I do not understand how Chelsea will be performing from the next season. The one name that comes up into my mind is Zidane. He is someone who will probably actually be able to fix Chelsea. Everyone has to remember, including the owner that only spending money is not going to make the team better if the money is not spent correctly.

[izsara]

The thing is first of all I know he is very loyal to his club. But it is certainly time to leave Tottenham. I am sure that if it was any other player than him they would have actually left Tottenham a long time ago.

This is a big problem for Kane, even though he must be aware that if the goal is trophies then Tottenham is not the right club.
Loyal is very good but actually it's a shame he's just very fierce as a top scorer but there's nothing more to make him shine even more. His current age is not young anymore and is about to turn 30 years old so if he really wants something more then Tottenham is not the right club but he has insisted even a long time ago when Manchester City really wanted his services.

It is good to be loyal but it is good if he can also learn from history
Van persie from arsenal moved to man United after all the seasons gone without a single premier
Moving to Man United was one of the best decisions he had taken in the football career cause he helped United win that final one

It depends on the player and it is possible that Kane may choose a different path. But back to the core conditions where players clearly want at least 1 trophy for their career and Kane needs to think further about that. Although it is true that a move to a rival club will be hated the same as Van Persie you mentioned for example or maybe Adebayor at that time but it is not a problem as long as the targets are met.

Casemiro's possible leave from Manchester United has been rumoured a lot recently. Now his name is called with Bayern Munich. However I don't think Manchester United should let him go that easy. Because Casemiro has strengthened the line between the defense and midfield incredibly much for Manchester United. In his absence the weaknesses start to be quite visible in this area.

Manchester United should focus on keeping their most valuable players instead of selling them in the summer. Because their main goal is to make this team return to their old days again by entering the title race in the English Premier League. I think they should keep Casemiro and make a top striker addition to the team like Harry Kane. In this way they can be very competitive for the league title and they can have a successful run in the Champions League also.

[Captain Corporate]

I highly doubt that United would be too willing to sell Casemiro just yet. It feels like we are going to see United either keep him, or maybe find someone better than him too, that could be another option. They wanted to get De Jong all summer last year, if they can do that this year, it would both help Barcelona possibly keep Gavi and give him a decent salary, but also would mean United can sell Casemiro as well, would help Bayern too. So all in all that would be a good move between all clubs. But if United doesn't get anyone for that position, they are not letting Casemiro go, that's not going to be a possible option, it just doesn't make sense at the moment, should be replaced before he is gone, after he is gone would make them rush into making a bad decision.

I won't say Todd Boehly cares less about the club because someone who doesn't care about the club will not be investing so much money to improve the team. Abramovich was successful because he let the professionals do their job while he released money to push the clubs objectives while Todd Boehly has decided to handle the affairs of the club by himself instead of leaving it to experts to do their job so I think that is the problem.

Conditions are indeed possible like that. Casemiro has always been a strong defender and has always been a good initiator with several other midfielders so it would be a shame if they just let go.
I would prefer some of their defenders to be regenerated than to see Casemiro leave as this could open up a bigger gap at Manchester United.

That is just a rumour, no way Manchester United are letting Casemiro go, he is one of the reasons the team has kept a lot of clean sheets this season, he has been a very important part of the team, he is certainly going to be part of the team for next season and even if he did move, no way Bayern is paying that amount of money for a 31-year-old with only one and a half years left on his contract. And Gavi isn't getting any professional contracts unless he stays at the Academy for another two years or moves as a free agent in the summer, or has the law changed?

I think the situation that made him feel at home in Tottenham is that he has a place in the hearts of the fans and the comfort that he gets in Tottenham makes him feel at home with Tottenham. But lately he has been heavily linked with big teams from the EPL who are interested in securing his services in the transfer window. I think other teams should be able to persuade him of the loyalty he has with Tottenham to accept the offer they are making.

indeed he has quite good qualities at his disposal and he can reach a trophy if he moves to another team. I even think that if he accepts an offer from Manchester United to move, then that's a pretty good choice for his next career.

I find him a hostage of his own contract that he signed with Spurs otherwise being a legend in the heart of Spurs fans is funny since he will be forgotten the moment he leave the team or retire without getting any single trophy and Conte wasn't joking when he said that the whole team and the management are dysfunctional.
Spurs being Spurs is something that start to hear often. Kane has to find another team to improve and boost his career. It is ridiculous to see him in the shadows of Tottenham..

Harry Kane would be a good acquisition for any club but he's almost 30 and age may not be on his side. I would really like the idea of bringing Osimhen to Old Trafford because he's younger and might cost lesser than Kane.

Conditions are indeed possible like that. Casemiro has always been a strong defender and has always been a good initiator with several other midfielders so it would be a shame if they just let go.
I would prefer some of their defenders to be regenerated than to see Casemiro leave as this could open up a bigger gap at Manchester United.

I don't believe the story. ETH knows how important Casemiro is to the team and the work he does. He signed a 4 years contract and he's about to finish the first year of his contract and you think man united would allow him go, when they have no replacement? Hell no.

It is just a rumor, there is no official statement from Casemiro or Man United management.
I am not surprised if there are some clubs interested to sign him. Casemiro played very well so far, he has a big role in the improvement of Man United midfield during this season. He is surely irreplaceable, not another midfielder who has the same capability as him. That's why I think Man United will never agree to let him go. He must stay at Man United, Man United needs him for the next season.

I know Bayern Munich got perfect financial power and they can hire players with higher prices but Manchester United will not lose Casemiro easily because we know Casemiro is a key player for this team and it's hard for Ten Hag to find another player to replace with him because, in the games without Casemiro, they couldn't have good performance.

[jakdanyel]

There have been some rumours going around related to Dusan Vlahovic recently. There are rumours like he can sign for Arsenal or Bayern Munich this summer. I wouldn't be surprised by such transfer though. Because he couldn't meet the expectations this season until now. His number of goals scored is so bad and there is a huge difference between his performance in the previous season and this one.

Maybe Vlahovic just can't improve his concentration level anymore to play for Juventus. Because there were some claims like he wasn't even thinking of staying for one more season. But with this performance level I think that Juventus would think the same too. Arsenal already have Gabriel Jesus. If they sign Vlahovic also then there will be a need of a formation change or we would watch a pretty competitive race between them for the starting eleven.

As for Bayern Munich they are already in search of a similar forward to Lewandowski. Of course it isn't easy to find as solid as him but they can find a complete forward for certain. Kane was already a candidate but in case they fail then they can just go for Vlahovic.
