⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Litzki1990]

If Messi returns to Barcelona again, Messi will have that time back. The PSG club has no players in support of Messi recently and it is never possible to play in a club with the fans and against him. If Lionel Messi goes back to Barcelona, he will go back to his country and that country will keep his word. There should be no shortage of Messi supporters. Barcelona are showing a lot of interest in signing Messi but they are financially strapped so if they really want to sign Messi they can let go of a few players. Because when the best time of his career comes, Messi will definitely not want any problems with salary. Al hilal could be a good opportunity for Messi considering the salary.

If Messi really decides to leave PSG, then Xavi will be able to convince him return to Barcelona, I remember how he did this with other players who are now in the team. But you are right, the team still has financial problems and this may be a reason for Messi not to return to Barcelona, although he really likes this city, his friends and family are there, and I am sure that his family also wants to return home.

In terms of changing clubs, Messi will prioritize a return to Barcelona as his career in Europe began with Barcelona and he has spent a long time with this club. Being from Argentina he may have spent most of his life in Barcelona so he will also want to return to Barcelona.  

Xavi will certainly do his best to bring Messi back to Barcelona but the financial aspect of the deal could be a problem. If Messi thinks he will stay at Barcelona with relatively less money, then that is entirely Messi's decision. If Barcelona can get Messi back in their team then Barcelona will be the best team in La Liga.

Today Gaultier also confirmed that Messi is going to leave PSG for another team. In the previous weeks and because of that we saw we could already know that Messi is leaving PSG for another destination. But the fact about Messi is we can't be sure about his destination for the next season and all we know about him is the interest of Barcelona to hire this player for another time.

OMG! Is this for real, folks? Messi, the GOAT himself, ghosting PSG like an ex on Facebook! This may be peak 2023 Twitter drama, but then again, we're talking Messi here - the rules of the game change when he steps on the pitch.

Let's hit the pause button and analyze this, shall we? The odds-on fav for Messi's next autograph signing has got to be Barcelona. That's his crib, his chill zone, his safe space. If he went back, it would be like the prodigal son returning home, stirring up all kinds of nostalgic feels and giving Barcelona that power-up they're thirsty for.

But please, there's a money problem. Barca is pretty much trying to pay rent with Starbucks change. Can they really afford Messi without putting half their squad up for sale on eBay?  Al Hilal and Inter Miami are waving fat stacks at him. But, would Messi really trade his game for the bling?

But the fact about Messi is we can't be sure about his destination for the next season and all we know about him is the interest of Barcelona to hire this player for another time.  

La liga urgest barcelona to raise 200 millions first before it was trying to sign messi again. Messi may be agreed with his salary to be cutted once he will back to the barcelona again but the problem is whether barcelona can raise 200m in a short time before try to sign messi back the club again. I think that if will be impossible thing. It's better for messi to go to the al hilal. he will get everything he wants there.

Some world class players like benzema and busquets may also come to the SPL too. It will be a big mistake for messi back to the barcelona again. Xavi will not also give him long term contract consider his age is old now.

I don't even think barcelona will be a good destination for messi when it was old. He must be learned from what happened with pique. he was still good but there's none can deny if messi is old now.
Don't be so stupid messi. Pick al hilal while it's still there.

[FanEagle]

Nkunku would definitely help Chelsea a ton, he will be the type of player that will benefit them quickly and won't even take long to show why he was worth the wait. Chelsea still needs some sort of financial stability, they overspent last season and achieved nothing, lets hope they don't do anything crazy or they are putting their future in danger. But, aside from that they are looking pretty alright with this.

About Vlahovic I think Bayern could do better, I know he is good but I think they should be aiming at world star level players, he is good but for a team that is going to fight at UCL for a title hopefully, they will face teams with Benzema, Haaland, Mbappe and so forth, so he won't cut it, they need someone that can do better.

[X-ray]

For real there have been plenty of rocky years along the way, Xhaka has come full circle to being a cult hero at the club once again. He’s been a key part of the team, the success of the team and I’m so happy everybody is appreciating what he’s done for the team since he joined. He’s wanted to leave since Arteta needed in for some seasons and I think it is the right time to find another path. Now there have been recent links with a move to Bayer Leverkusen and the supporters and Xhaka appeared to share a moment of farewell.

I can feel how disappointed he was once arsenal was not able winning the trophy before he leaves from the club. It's caused by xhaka has been putting a lot of hopes for its club to win at least one trophy before he will be gone.
Arteta and arsenal didn't need him anymore as there was no new contract comes to him. that means if the club as been letting him to leave in summer. I hope that leverkusen will try to take this advantage caused by xhaka out from arsenal with free agent.

It will give easiest way for leverkusen to sign him from arsenal. It's caused by leverkusen's squad was not strong right now.

Hakan Calahonoglu is ready to be a replacement for xhaka. Im still waiting for the result from rice's transfer.
It's not yet clear whether arsenal agreed with westham's offer or not. Westham putting very high price for rice.

[Avirunes]

It's very interesting that the news continues to grow as the transfer window draws near. Regarding Mount, like Erik Ten Hag's interest in him, with a fairly large price tag, it will probably continue to be a top priority because it seems that Man United wants more player options as a backup squad.

Yeah with the squad United has right now, it seems hard for Mount to be a regular player for them. Maybe ten Haag has some other plans as Mount is not a type of player to be put down on bench. He can really be useful in midfield.

Actually, Kovacic is still quite ideal at Chelsea, but Chelsea clearance process is very simple, namely removing a number of players to pave the way for new players that are being targeted by Pochettino. first. What Manchester City wants for the midfield player remains the same in order to consider more replacement options.

I always felt Kovacic as crucial figure in crucial midfield but it seems that they want to restructure now. Lot of changes are gonna happen at Chelsea so I think they would take a bit more time to find their right form in the league. It's a very tough time for a club when lot of changes go all at the same time.

• Arsenal are keen on Declan Rice ^[4] and are planning to open talks after the Conference League Final (which is about 6-7 days).
  

Apart from Arsenal who are interested in Declan Rice, it turns out that Bayern Munich also did not miss the opportunity where, based on local news, Declan wanted to try a new challenge outside the Premier League, so Bayern Munich made an offer to him. However, these rumors have not been fully confirmed by Declan, after the match against Fiorentina in the Conference League he said he still wants to focus on helping Westham until his contract actually expires in 2024.

Bayern are also reported to be interested- Yes, but I expect Declan Rice to choose an English club rather than settling for a club out of England. It's what I feel like so I could be wrong also. There will be some interesting developments further after Conference League final and I am sure there will be more besides Bayern, Arsenal in Declan Rice's race.

Also Arsenal are monitoring James Maddison also from relegated Leicester. It is also another interesting name to look onto in this upcoming transfer window.

Barcelona are returning to their former glory in La Liga. They don't really need Messi as a savior. They have the chance to dominate the league next season as well. On the other hand, if Messi goes to the US or Arab leagues, he may have a chance to make more money. Realistically speaking, I see a slim chance of Messi returning to Barcelona. However, I would definitely like Messi to come back to Barcelona. Because Ronaldo went to the Arab league and fell out of favor. If Messi goes to the USA or the Arab league, he will be discredited. I'm afraid that Messi will say goodbye to world football like Ronaldo.

[terrorJR]

The biggest chance where Messi will play next season is Barcelona for sure. Comeback would mean a big deal for both Barcelona and Messi. He could play there for 1-3 years more max and thats it. Second option is Al hilal for sure with how the big the salary offer is. Third option is Inter Miami in the MLS but i think that isnt realistic at the moment. Good thing that he is leaving PSG he wasnt even at his best form or even close to it.

Have option return back to Barcelona but I doubt with financial crisis faced how possibility for paying Lionel Messi salary, I don't sure Barcelona have good financial condition right now for paying Lionel Messi and seems excited with second option move to Al Hilal, they have confirmed excited salary will receive by Lionel Messi if agree play in Saudi Professional League next season and will be most expensive salary of football player around the world.

Inter Miami seems not best option for him because Lionel Messi on the top perform, maybe over 38 until 40 years old is the best option retired and play in MLS League.

Yep, even though in this case Messi left PSG which I wasn't too surprised by that but indeed when he said returning to Barcelona this could have been too hasty.
Even though some time ago there were a number of conditions where top officials raised questions about regulations that La Liga had to re-design in order to smoothen their intention to bring Messi, I still doubt they can bring Messi back to Camp Nou.

Xavi wants to hire Messi and since he has the experience of working with each other, I think Messi can have much better days if he comes back to Barcelona where he started shining.

Barcelona has financial problem and seems difficult for signing Lionel Messi although Xavi Hernandez has good relationship with Messi, its not about how loyal but depend on Barcelona have enough money for signing Lionel Messi or not. Its not about family, Lionel Messi has decision when first time leaving Barcelona due financial problem and management can't pay his salary, I don't think will has second chance for Lionel Messi returning back to Barcelona after leaving PSG and not extended his contract.

I sure about which one team serious and want give interesting salary will be priority by Lionel Messi, but he want stays in European teams but right now only Barcelona rumor want to signing Messi.

As far As I know, Barcelona can't pay enough Salary for Messi, and paying this huge amount of money is not something Barcelona can do, even for a player like Messi who is the legend of Barcelona. But I saw on the news that Barcelona asked Inter Maimi to hire Messi and then give him for a loan to Barcelona. We should wait and see if Beckham accepts this as the owner of Inter Maimi

Chelsea still needs some sort of financial stability, they overspent last season and achieved nothing, lets hope they don't do anything crazy or they are putting their future in danger. But, aside from that they are looking pretty alright with this.

I hope so but i will not definitely put a lot of hope for his performance with chelsea in the first season. Nkuku performed consistently in leipzig but i hope that if he will become as good as timo werner when he was coming to the chelsea. There was also a rumor if chelsea is still looking for a good striker. I don't even know what's gonna happen with some strikers like datro fofana in chelsea. He has very good potential as well.

About Vlahovic I think Bayern could do better, I know he is good but I think they should be aiming at world star level players, he is good but for a team that is going to fight at UCL for a title hopefully, they will face teams with Benzema, Haaland, Mbappe and so forth, so he won't cut it, they need someone that can do better.

I don't think so. Vlahovic was actually over rated player for me. It's better for bayern to get another candidate rather than him. I will prefer for bayern to make a deal for a good striker than vlahovic.
Osimhen is impossible for bayern. Im thinking about bayern will try to get an alternative candidate for vlahovic.

Messi's legacy will not be forgotten quickly; he deserved every single point and accolade for his outstanding performance at tender and exquisite maturity. Leo Messi has finished his football career by winning numerous trophies, the most notable of which was the 2023 Qatar World Cup. He will leave PSG this summer, but the Argentine is mute on his next move, which will be either accepting a bid from a Saudi Arabian club or becoming a free agent during the transfer season. I don't see any more competition for Messi; he needs time to sort out personal concerns and provide strong information to the public this week.

Agree, now Barcelona no longer needs Messi's services. Do you still remember when Barcelona limped and rose from a financial downturn? until finally managed to get out of the abyss little by little. At that time Messi even left with his new contract with PSG. So it makes perfect sense when Barcelona replied as if he would feel Messi was forgotten. Many people regret that Messi will not return to Barcelona, but if you look at Xavi's solid squad, I'm sure everything will be fine and Barcelona will have the upper hand. Plus this season they fixed everything by winning the La Liga trophy so next season they will automatically enter the Champions League, Messi really doesn't need his services anymore.

Xavi wants to hire Messi and since he has the experience of working with each other, I think Messi can have much better days if he comes back to Barcelona where he started shining.

In his old age, I think Messi should be more concerned with the long-term income offered by Al Hilal with the highest salary that no player has ever gotten. For reasons that are too far-fetched if Xavi wants to get his services. After all, now Barcelona has Lewandowski, whose contribution is no longer in doubt. Believe me, everything takes its time and Messi's glory deserves to end in the Arab League. That is if he really has long thoughts about his career and finances in the future.

I just don't understand these news sources. One of them says that Benzema has decided to stay with Real Madrid for another season. But another one which is ESPN here says that he is about to leave the team in a month to join Al Ittihad side. There is still around a month for his contract with Real Madrid to expire though. He can take his time to think about his future.

I think there is no need for him to stay from now on while he has a big opportunity to make a great deal of more money. He has achieved everything he can with Real Madrid so far in my opinion. Now he can think of a different journey for himself.

[makishart]

Xavi wants to hire Messi and since he has the experience of working with each other, I think Messi can have much better days if he comes back to Barcelona where he started shining.

I don't even think so. Once messi backs again to the barcelona and there will be a lot of problems to come. it's caused by some players will not able to play regularly and they will be leaving from the club. it's a big lose if the young players will be leaving from the club as messi is old. Did you expect him to play until 40 years old?  The worst decision to sign him back to the barcelona even though he has so many fans in the world and it's not even worthy for barcelona.
It's the time for barcelona to get another star again. Messi needs to accept the deal from al hilal. Im sure that if he will be having same problem like benzema. It has confirmed that if messi out from PSG.
There's no other club that already offered him this time. Jorge messi was only receiving offer from hilal and barcelona but barcelona has no financial strength to make it happen.

Real Madrid are rumored to be interested in signing Kai Havertz from Chelsea, if I'm not mistaken this result came out after the board, Florentino Perez and Ancelotti held a closed meeting. Maybe this is in anticipation if later Real Madrid fail to get Harry Kane from Spurs. We know that yesterday there were rumors that said Benzema would go to the Saudi league to accept an offer of 100 million euros per season, but at the same time, Benzema dismissed this news through an awards ceremony at Marca. It looks like Real Madrid will try to keep signing Kai Havertz no matter what as substitute for Benzema if they still fail to get Harry Kane.

I am not happy with Messi relationship and PSG, there official page posted the celebration of PSG when they won the Ligue 1 title and they excluded him from the rest of the member in the video clip, and he was his last goal that help them won the cup, that's pathetic and rude for the Goat of football. I wish him success on any club that bid for him, but I will like it of Barcelona have another way to take back Messi with two arms without having any financial difficulties in the club, Saudi Arabi want to have his fame just like the way Ronaldo has been taken by Al Nasir.

If he come to saudi and become cristiano rival for one more time ...

Then i bet saudi pro league going as hot as european competition , it's like the el classico as a person not as a club anymore. The figure of these two were crazy as huge as its club popularity and no wonder if messi accept saudi offer not just because of money but the promising competition ahead with cristiano.

I understand why Saudi teams spend lots of money on players like Messi and Ronaldo for their teams, in fact, they want to use these players as investments for their country to make their leagues more attractive to watch and this can bring much more sponsors, also they are going to have more marketing power after these players join Saudi teams.
That's why they don't really pay attention even if these players can't have good performances anymore.
However, Messi is still in good form and that's why I don't think he accepts to join Saudi teams at least not in this season.

Intermilan has interest to buy him from chelsea for £25 million but chalobach is still wanna saying even longer in chelsea. It's not clear whether pochettino will be included him under his plan or not.


In another case, manchester united is still trying to negotiate with chelsea. MU is now trynig to offer meguire + fresh money to get mason mount from chelsea. It will be so stupid if chelsea will accept such offer.  I will support it if it will be rashford + money.


I have heard that if real madrid is trying again to review its interest to the kai havertz. Madrid was interested to sign him a few years ago but it's not yet confirmed this time.

This is the best solution if Real Madrid cannot sign Harry Kane, now Real Madrid is still looking for a way to bring Harry Kane to join next summer. But the problem is that the price set by Spurs for the ferocious bomber is too expensive, namely 115 million euros. For a player who is 29 years old and whose contract will expire in a year, this price is considered very expensive. But when compared to Kane's performance, this price is still reasonable. But it looks like this offer will not happen because Real Madrid now has a solution, namely by bringing in Havertz as a candidate to replace Benzema. Havertz is said to be a multi-position player because he is able to play in three positions. Madrid is reportedly very interested in signing him because of his ability, and he will be able to complement the team next season. Regardless of whether or not Benzema leaves, in my opinion, there is nothing wrong if Real Madrid makes a permanent decision to sign Havertz, if this decision can make the team's performance even stronger next season why not. I read in the news that if Real Madrid could sign him then this would be the perfect signing for Real Madrid.

It's fact that the current situation between Messi and his club is not going well, and it's really pathetic to see. By next week we may know his next destination, but he should follow his dreams, which lie with Barcelona. I have a feeling he'll be more receptive to staying with them, even though he may be offered a fortune and an easy life elsewhere. Speaking of other destinations, Saudi Arabia has now become a new hot spot for world-class players! What if Messi will turn down their offer, considering that Ronaldo's effectiveness has diminished somewhat since leaving Europe? Nonetheless, it's certainly going to be an interesting decision for him to make.
