⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[rendravolt]

According to news from dailymail Manchester City is not going to lose their players Kyle Walker and they are trying to make him stay there not the next season other teams and especially Bayern Munich want to hire this player but Macnshter City wants to extend his contract.
Some German news was saying Walker even joined Bayern Munich for 20m.



https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-12210335/Man-City-Kyle-Walker-wants-stay-talks-contract-extension-despite-Bayern-links.html

Manchester City made the right decision if they wanted to keep Kyle Walker with a contract extension and it looks like talks are currently underway between the two parties. In my opinion, even though Kyle Walker is quite old, his experience as a cover for Manchester City players will still be useful and therefore of course Pep Guardiola wants his services to remain available for another two seasons with Manchester City. Meanwhile, Bayern Munich seem to understand the decision taken by Kyle Walker and maybe they will not press him too much to want to join Bayern Munich.

Kyle Walker is still a valuable asset to the squad, and letting him go at this point without finding suitable replacements will be terrible. He's now 33 years old and will most certainly lose form in the near future, but I believe he can do amazing things and play well in the meantime. Pep is a highly experienced coach; he understands which players he needs and which to sell. If he still wants Kyle Walker, he sees the potential in him and will do all in his power to keep him at Manchester City.

I think Pep know the real strength of Kyle Walker, rather than Walker join other club and it will cause an another challenge in the future, it's better if Walker just stay in Manchester City so he don't need to find how to beat Walker.

Walker is a good defender even though he's lazy, he can't play in inverted full back position because it will drain his stamina. But if he's going to fight one on one with opponent player, Walker mostly win, just like how he destroy Vinicius Jr.

Liverpool have already started to be active in the transfer market slowly. They have already signed Mac Allister as you know. They look like they are focused on sending players who aren't useful anymore on one hand. Milner was one of them and he has just been signed by Brighton on a free transfer. Oxlade-Chamberlain and Firmino are the players left who are expected to be free agent by July 1.

I understand Oxlade-Chamberlain's situation. I believe it is the right decision for him. However I still don't understand why Firmino is being released now. Because there are only 2 natural centre-forwards in the squad and they are sending one of them away now. If they have plans to fill his place nicely then okay. Otherwise it doesn't look good to me.

I think they are aiming at getting some pure strikers, Firmino wasn't a pure striker, he was a forward but he wasn't like goal-first mentality player. The football world is evolving around that idea nowadays, there needs to be at least one guy who is chasing goals, and they want to get that. They have one already that keeps on failing, they may get another that would actually be good.

Firmino hasn't been playing at Liverpool recently as we all know, so there is no reason to keep him, dude could leave and he could find himself a starting position somewhere else, he is good enough to be the forward of many clubs and this is why they let him go, he deserves to play, he is not deserving of a bench role, hence he should be let go to find a place he can play.

It's a shame but it seems that Thomas Partey is likely to leave. Romano reports that there is a good chance of Ghanaian midfielder leaving Arsenal this transfer window ^[1]. I really liked the guy and way he drives himself and find a long distance scoring position and also has scored some stunners for Arsenal this season too. We now just have Jorginho as a defensive midfielder.

Now Arsenal can't afford to lose in Declan Rice race.

Despite Arsenal’s interest in getting Declan Rice on their side this summer I still expect that they have someone also good enough to be coming in from the bench as a substitute for Declan Rice and I believe Thomas Partey can come be that player. One major problem Arsenal faced in title chase was not having sufficient backup for their best players, so when fatigue and injuries came, the performance of the team dropped. I hope they can fix this problem this summer.

Arsenal is also bidding for Romeo Lavia the Southampton youngster who will likely replace injury prone Thomas Partey at the midfield, honestly Partey made some costly error this season that cost the team losing some crucial matches of it by losing possession to his opponents easily therefore the earlier he leaves the better, Xhaka is reportedly leaving to a Bundesliga club therefore Arteta needed to sign the trio of Declan Rice, Romeo Lavia and Moises Caicedo from Brighton with Ødegaard and Lokonga in that midfield that setup will be formidable enough by selecting his first team among those players.

Lavia is 19 years old and a promising actress. If Arsenal sign him, if they can, I think they would have made a very good transfer. The Belgian player is a very good player in his age group. He behaves physically above his age. I hope Arsenal manage to sign him.

English star Kyle Walker is one of the mainstays of Manchester City's defence. It would not be wrong to call Kyle Walker Manchester City's best defender. Manchester City have been able to achieve so much success this season by looking to strengthen their defence. The idea that he will lose his form now that he is 33 years old is completely wrong. He may stay at Manchester City for a few more seasons. When Pep Guardiola thinks Kyle Walker is no longer needed in the team he will look for someone else as his replacement but for now I don't think he needs a replacement.

Walker is deciding to stay even longer in manchester city. Glad to see he is not interesting to leave from manchester city. Despite rumors linking him to several clubs, he has decided to stay longer in Manchester City.. I wonder how long his contract extension.
It looks so weird to see the rumors if he would be leaving the club caused by he was not happen not become the main starter in the UCL. That's a non sense reason for him to leave from the club.
It seems like that walker is interesting to secure another treble winner with manchester city again next season. Pep sees him as one of the important asset on the defensive line of manchester city.
No reasons for him to leave from this biggest club in EPL right now.

Manchester City became one of the best teams in the world, not just the EPL. Pep naturally tries to protect this line of defense in the best way possible. Haaland will stay in the team anyway. KDB will continue to serve him while he stays in the team. Maybe they can make a midfield transfer, but in general terms, they can win triple trophies with this team in the next season.

Arteta and Edu might be making a hell of a mistake. How do you let go of your two most senior midfielders in the team. Bringing in Lavia and Rice should also not be an excuse to let Xhaka and Partey leave. Why can they keep Partey and also bring in understudy. Good squad depth is of importance to every club. If they seriously want to compete, they must be ready to have enough depth.

Real Madrid have decided to drop the interest in Tottenham striker Harry Kane, according to a report from MARCA.
Los Blancos' idea is to wait to sign Kylian Mbappe on a free transfer in 2024, having already sealed the signing of Joselu from Espanyol.

https://www.goal.com/en/news/live/real-madrid-transfer-news-and-rumours-today/blt4104c487aa7c5f80
Well done real madrid, the club has been taking the right decision to discard kane from its transfer list. Joselu proved that he could win competitions with Spain, even though the club took him from espanyol on loan.
Joselu is good and cheap compared with harry kane which is overrated striker. The decision waiting for mbappe next year is a very good decision. Instead of wasting another hundred millions for kane and the club was waiting for mbappe by signing joselu as temporary striker.
I wanna say that if real madrid's management is thinking so smart right now. Josely can also perform as well as when he was playing at espanyol last season.
I do like the initiative from the club to pick joselu from espanyol. under rated striker. Joselu will be able play in the la liga again.

KDB will continue to serve him while he stays in the team. Maybe they can make a midfield transfer, but in general terms, they can win triple trophies with this team in the next season.

For this season, Manchester City has really become the best football club in the world and I am also sure that if they get stronger in the future, it will not rule out three or 3 more trophies next season.
Haaland has become one of the key players for Manchester City but I heard some news that there are other big clubs who are trying to look at Haaland but it looks like Manchester City will never let Haaland go for the next few seasons.

It used to be that Manchester City took Haaland was a fortune because he managed to bring Manchester City to have several trophies this season.

There are reports that Arsenal are working on a deal to sign Ajax defender Jurrien Timber. He is a very good player and a lot of clubs have been on him for a while now. But I doubt if Arsenal can quietly seal off his deal, because Arsenal are always sluggish with their transfers and I hope they learn from last season. Because deals like this Timber need to be closed quickly. Unlike Rice that has clearly told everybody that it’s Arsenal or nothing. Timber can change his mind anytime or Ajax can invite other clubs to bid as well so they can sell to the highest bidder. Arsenal shouldn’t waste time on this particular one.

Dortmund have already thought of a replacement for Jude Bellingham according to Transfermarkt. This player is Edson Alvarez who is a defensive midfielder playing for Ajax. He is the second most valuable player in Ajax squad right now. He is mostly playing in this position but he can be used as a centre-back when there is a need also.

However I don't see this being the direct replacement for Bellingham. Because Bellingham is more like an attacking midfielder as you know. There is a significant difference between their roles as a result. I guess that Dortmund aren't planning to make him get used to playing in the same role as Bellingham but let's see.

There is a significant difference in terms of direct or indirect goal contribution between these players this season.

The source: https://www.transfermarkt.com/edson-alvarez-dortmund-want-ajax-star-as-jude-bellingham-replacement/view/news/423200

Some people has calling him as Casemiro from Mexico because his game of style is not so different like Casemiro this because Edson Alvarez is very strong to help defense and he has good skill as holding midfielder and sometimes he create some of opportunities to scores goals just like playmaker and often too scores some of important goals and help Ajax to win the matches and i understand why you called him as one of valuable player in Ajax because he is important player in this team but indeed in the term of attacking Bellingham is much better than him but currently Dortmund has Julian Brandt and i think he can be performing well as Dortmund attacking midfielder or as the replacement of Bellingham and if Dortmund want to buy Edson Alvarez i think this is could be good purchase because it can be strengthen Dortmund squad

I agree with you on this. Firmino is actually a very talented player and would be good enough to fill in the roles of the forward in a lot of clubs. He does deserve to play and I bet he’s not having enough playing time as he would have loved to have in Liverpool.
The more he remains on the bench, the less we all see of him. If he doesn’t get the playing time he deserves, he should leave to somewhere else where he could play and be seen. Out of sight is out of mind, they say.

I still think Firmino does a pretty good job at Liverpool and his presence during gameplay makes an impact in the team. I do think he plays well at Liverpool and deserves some more playing time.

Expecting Kane or Mbappe to Madrid instead to bring in Joselu, this is quite unconvincing as far as I know Joselu has indeed played in Madrid, but for the moment and the void that Benzema has left is still not enough to complete the front line of attack. Hopefully this election is really right but personally I'm still not completely 100% sure about Joselu. Either Perez is saving money or has no other options so he decided on Joselu as the main squad.

[Avirunes]

Arteta and Edu might be making a hell of a mistake. How do you let go of your two most senior midfielders in the team. Bringing in Lavia and Rice should also not be an excuse to let Xhaka and Partey leave. Why can they keep Partey and also bring in understudy. Good squad depth is of importance to every club. If they seriously want to compete, they must be ready to have enough depth. 

Yeah, its going to be blunder if both leaves right now when we have to play CL also in next season. Without proper defensive midfielders it will really again set us back after building the momentum and the squad for so long. I think both will only leave if we find replacement for them. We need experienced defensive midfielders to rely on. Declan Rice is one but we need another one go really competitive into the next season.

[makishart]

Either Perez is saving money or has no other options so he decided on Joselu as the main squad.

Perez has always the reason to sign a player. It's also need to be reviewed by ancelotti too.
That's why spain was also putting him in the main squad as well. He played 32 matches last season and gave 16 goals for espanyol. He can make a lot of goals even though he was playing in the shitty club. Perez consider his last season stat in the la liga was quite good.



The top scorer board is more than enough to explain the reason why real madrid bring back joselu from espanyol. Joselu has also become the last transfer by real madrid in summer.

There is no doubt about Mbappe's football skills. Mbappe is undoubtedly one of the best stars in the world of football. It is natural that Real Madrid would want to take a star like him. Real Madrid is a club that every player who wears the club's jersey dreams of and Mbappe is no exception. Real Madrid have expressed interest in Mbappe and Mbappe is planning to leave PSG.  

Mbappé rarely misses the chances that come in the game. And because of his speed and clearance, the loss means the opposition's defense. I personally think Mbappe should go to Real Madrid.

Now there is an interesting speculation going around about Kane. According to Le Parisien PSG have started to be interested in Kane. It says that Kane is a candidate to fill Messi's place in the starting eleven from now on. Of course we all must have been waiting for PSG to replace Messi with a solid alternative. However I thought first that the player they thought of was Asensio. Because they have been signed and he is playing in the same position with Messi.

Besides Asensio and Kane aren't even playing in the same position. You just can't put Kane on the wing instead of centre-forward position. I wonder if they are planning to have Mbappe on the wing in that case. Mbappe has been playing as centre-forward for a long time but I don't think he would be less effective on the wing either.

Arsenal has been in the news very regular this season on transfer markets. I wonder what Arteta wants to achieve. It is fine that he reinforce his team but he should not make so many changes in his team in order not to disturb his team.
That squad is very good to play any kind of football. The likes of
Saka,
Odegaard,
Thomas,
Jesus,
If he reinforces the team well, he will be able to bench some of his star players for some matches.

I wonder if they are planning to have Mbappe on the wing in that case. Mbappe has been playing as centre-forward for a long time but I don't think he would be less effective on the wing either.

When did Mbappe play in the centre-forward position? I had a look at like 7 or 8 games just right now and he either plays left wing or half-center forward together with Messi. I can't even remember when he played a centre-forward game, he usually prefers to attack from the left-wing anyway.

Harry Kane is no replacement for Messi at all. If Mbappe really stays for another season, they need someone who perfectly understands how to put Mbappe in action and there is nobody who can do that like Messi. But Kane already said he doesn't usually want to leave England and while I thought he could make an exception for Real Madrid, it would be surprising to see him go to France.
