⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[ChiBitCTy]

I still can't get over the fact that Messi is coming to the States and joining the Miami team.  As most of you all know, soccer/football isn't something that's a big deal here at the Pro level, it's maybe the 6th most popular sport after football, basketball, baseball, hockey and golf.. so I'm excited what this can mean for the MLS and soccer in America.  Since the NFL /brain damage has come in to such strong focus, I expect soccer to pick up...as I know many parents won't allow their children to play football any longer ( having played for 5 years myself, I would NEVER allow my kids to play)..that said..do you guys think this will have much of an impact..I mean it has to do more than David Beckham coming here did, right?

Now I see how Arsenal players are excited with the Declan Rice deal. I think it’s great to feel this way honestly
And I remember when they were how Tottenham are now, signing unknown names and cheap players and now they’ve  moved on to bigger things. I’m sure they’ll win a major trophy soon and win the treble some day.
Now they have players with experience and winning mentalities. They lost out on top 4 two seasons ago because they didn’t have the mentality to carry on. Also they lost the league last season because they didn’t have depth in quality. Slowing and surely they’ll keep getting better in all departments.
Next season will be much more exciting.

Besides it looks like Arsenal don't step back from paying a huge amount of money for players anymore. They weren't a team like this in the past but it looks like Arteta wants to play much bigger.

It is a good character that Arsenal is learning something that has helped Manchester City get to the position that they are today both in the English football and Champions League. Investing in quality players that can increase the strength of the team is never a bad investment, it is something that paid off for Manchester City. After making this kind of payment for Declan Rice, in the future, it means Arsenal will make more quality signings of players valued around that price.

[Josefjix]

Manchester City are out in this race at this point. Because they stated they wouldn't pay as much as Arsenal intended to. A package of 105 million pounds is really huge. Maybe players are getting more expensive in the market in time but I still can't see this kind of an amount as normal for Declan Rice here.

He may be a really decent talent as a midfielder maybe but we will see if he will perform as good as his worth from now on.

Besides it looks like Arsenal don't step back from paying a huge amount of money for players anymore. They weren't a team like this in the past but it looks like Arteta wants to play much bigger.

Manchester city opt out of Declan Rice deal because they felt the player is overhyped and value increases doesn't match the performance of the player. Pep Guardiola already nailed his necessary needs this summer, he's not looking for midfielder, because he has already filled in the space of IIkay Gundogan, Kovacic is his immediate replacement. City will do extremely excellent next season. Turn to gunners, they're desperate to sign more players in the market and Declan Rice is their ultimate target this summer, Mikel Arteta needs to sealed the deal inother to get fully ready for next season.

The FC Chelsea and the sell-out continues. 4 players have now been sold and another is leaving without a transfer fee. So 3 of 5 players are going to Saudi Arabia, there is about Kante, Mendy and Koulibaly, all three are over 30 years old. And now also Kai Havertz for 70 million to Arsenal, it only happened because Nkunku came from Leipzig. The best thing is that Romelu Lukaku is coming back, he played so long in England and Chelsea. But Chelsea will not spend another 600 million euros.

Pochettino be doing some Fumigation of players even before starting matches, not bad approach to me, he should let the old dutch bags live and use the fees to buy new players but I wonder if the money they are accumulating will be good enough to bring young players to Stanford bridge. It will be zero sense of reasoning if Pochettino allow Romelu Lukaku to come back to Chelsea, he had the opportunity to go to Champions League and couldn't deliver his team but want to come to a team that is struggling to reach the group stage next season, I think only a successful leaders are needed in Chelsea right now.

The Enzo package was £106m, £65m fixed + add-ons, whereas the Daclan Rice deal is £105 million, £100m fixed + £5m add-ons, therefore Arsenal is paying more than Chelsea because there is a chance that Chelsea will not pay the add-ons if the contract requirements are not met.

If the bid is accepted, Daclan Rice will become the most expensive package.

I refer to the data published by Transfermarkt.com and Enzo Fernández still holds the record in the Premier League previously held by Jack Grealish when Man City signed him, maybe the difference is 106m pounds or 121m EUR, but yeah whatever it is for sure it has passed and now we await another big transfer news from Declan Rice To be honest, I was a bit surprised to hear that Arsenal were willing to spend that kind of money even though Arsenal are usually more careful in bringing in new players. By the way, what about Bayern Munich, did they not raise their offer?

[un_rank]

Declan Rice deal has been agreed in principle between WestHam and Arsenal. The next couple of hours would be crucial for the deal to be finalized but it is looking like it is going to go through with Manchester City pulling out of the bid.
WestHam would have favored a bidding war between both clubs and also any of the other suitors but he is more crucial to Arsenal and would get more playing time there, so I would assume the player favors the Emirates.

If the deal gets completed. They have signed a winger/attacker and a holding midfielder both who have experience of playing in the league and do not need to adapt to the system.

I agree with you 100% because with Real Madrid I see a better future for Harry Kane, he has the qualities and attitude to succeed at Real Madrid. He also has good and experienced midfielders at Madrid just the same way Erling Haaland is enjoying life and scoring many goals at Manchester City that is the kind of privilege Harry Kane will enjoy at Real Madrid and certainly winning trophies is assured.

Bayern and Real Madrid are two big clubs, Harry Kane will be suitable to play in these clubs. Both teams have good quality of defenders and midfielders, so Harry Kane will get a big support to be more productive as a striker. But if Harry Kane has the intention to win UCL, Real Madrid is the best option for him. Real Madrid is the most team to win UCL trophy, not other team that has the capability as Real Madrid. However, if Harry Kane only dreams to win local league trophy, joining Bayern Munich is not a bad idea. Bayern Munich also has the chance to win UCL, they have good history in UCL, too. Now, it is about which team is more serious to sign him.

This is correct West Ham have won in the race to sell Declan Rice to Arsenal. and presently West Ham appears to be the biggest winner in this deal. Now both teams are discussing the terms of payment because West Ham owners wants the money to be completely paid in 18 months time. Goodluck to Arteta, who the Arsenal management has backed immensely in this transfer market. First Trossard, now Harverts and Rice; Quality signings!!!

It is easier said than done to prepare a new team with dozens of new players. They have invested so many resources and took lots of consequences like sacking Tuchel and now they are starting from scratch. Pochettino has the luxury situation that he can freely choose players and it is likely that Chelsea will make it happen for him, but he still will be held accountable in the end whether it works out or not and as we have seen it isn't that simple to turn money into goals.

West Ham sold one of their best players and now they need some really good new signings for next season. They now got the money from this transfer and should act fast and get someone really good. Arsenal on the other side is looking really dangerous and i think they will be one the favorites for the title next to Man City.

Tottenham have just announced the signing of James Maddison from relegated Leicester City side for £40million. I remember when Maddison was valued by Leicester City for £100million, now they will be losing 60million and wishing they sold him at the initial time he had the full price tag and top teams were willing to make a deal. Nevertheless this is a good deal for Spurs because Maddison will add strength and improve their game next season.

[Leviathan.007]

We know Victor Osimhen got offers from some teams and since he is a young player with good performance in the last season, he got offers from Liverpool and Bayern Munich. But since the Arabian teams pay lots of money for the players they have, for example, they pay 200m to Ronaldo, the players ask for high prices, and on the other hand, Aurelio De Laurentiis asked 180m for his player Osimhen.
However 180m is a lot but I think for any team that buys this player, this can be a good investment.

Its a good deal for both Leicester city and Tottenham Hotspurs, Spurs get a young quality midfielder albeit injury prone lol. While Leicester City get a good fee for an expensive player as they prepare for relegation struggles in the championship this coming season. Madison is cheaper because of Leicester City current position and not about the player itself. Still, good deal for both sides.

[Leviathan.007]

Tonight Tottenham officially hired James Maddison for 40m. He joined Leicester City in 2018 and he had a good performance there but since Leicester was relegated, Maddison left this team to Tottenham. Manchester United and Newcastle also tried to hire this player who played for five years in Leicester City and he was an effective player there. Since he had one year left on his contract with Leicester Cty I guess Leicester City can earn good money there.

[Velvet78]

Good for Tottenham that they have managed to reach an agreement for Maddison for a price they would like. First Leicester looked obstinate about demanding much more money but it looks like Tottenham still managed to convince them. This is going to be a solid improvement to the midfield for Tottenham without doubt.

It is great news for Maddison as well otherwise he was going to play in the second league. This would really harm his reputation while he is a really talented midfielder. It looks like it is finally time for Maddison to shine brighter in the Premier League. Tottenham aren't one of the very successful teams of the league these days. But this is still not a hindrance for Maddison just as it hasn't been for Kane.

Alternative players are definitely needed to make the team stronger. If any of the regulars currently playing for Manchester City are out of the field due to injury, it will be very difficult for them to win the match. Basically, if there are some players outside the regular eleven, they can support the team during the period when the regular players of the team are absent due to injury. In that case, Manchester City may have defense and midfielders on their list. Because I believe defending goals is better than scoring goals. Because if the defense and midfielders perform well and can supply the ball well then the forwards will do well. So right now if Manchester City can find an alternative defender or midfielder then their team will be a more balanced team.

Agreed, that's why it's better to get alternative player that can even priced 50% less or even more compared with rice. pep is always good in chasing talented player from the market. It sounds non sense if manchester city tried to get rice.
Manchester city is still having rodri which is even better to fulfill that position. It sounds non sense if city tried to keep war with arsenal to get him.
Finding alternative player to the rice is not a difficult task and city already had best one for now. The only problem if city doesn't have back up for rodri. I can't even agree if city targeting rice caused by he was over priced.
If people called rice which was winning conference league as world class player and what about rodri? he has been winning UCL with city even treble winners.

Modric shall play with less intensity right now. Even though he looks very strong but he will not able anymore to play football like when he was young.
Modric was only a short term choice for madrid rather than try to buy another player from the market.

His aging will be also impacting his blood vessel too.

It seems that they are trying to minimize expenses. They retained Kroos and Modric for a period of one year. It can wait for the funds to come back in. Anceloti has the opportunity to choose players. It seems that the management planned this to save costs. Although Modric and Kroos are getting old, they are still able to perform well. Moreover, plus Bellingham, he can learn from the two of them.

that makes sense. bellingham has been draining a lot of money owned by real madrid. Madrid is still having some capable midfielders but in my opinion if madrid wants modric to share his experience to the another player like bellingham.
Real madrid has so many options for midfielder. Valverde could also become an alternative for those old players once they were not feeling good to play. Even liverpool has sent valverde a very big offer for him to leave from madrid and move to the liverpool.
Management is not trying to waste money by buying new players. It's learned a lot from what happened with barcelona at this moment by having so many debts.
Madrid must control its financial to avoid the same fate as barcelona.

Chelsea lost many of their players in the transfer market this season. and now their new coach must quickly assemble their squad and prepare to start the new season.
I think MU is more interested in getting Mason Mount. it was even rumored that Mason Mount himself wanted to move to MU. unfortunately when MU submitted 3 bids to Chelsea and all were rejected. but if Arsenal is involved in these negotiations, I think MU may have to step down.

They did lose a lot of players in the transfer market, but to me, it's like changing your wardrobe. When you have clothing that are no longer useful to you, you should get rid of them, and that's what Chelsea is doing right now. There are many extra players on the team who no longer contribute much to its success. They must get rid of the excess to make room for fresh signings, as the new coach's arrival has requested. 

It's not a rumor, Mason Mount has stated publicly that he will not sign a contract extension and that he intends to leave the team. Despite knowing that he is worth the money, Manchester United is unwilling to pay the price tag on his head because he has expressed interest in signing with them. Arsenal will take Mount if Manchester United doesn't close this deal soon.

Modric was only a short term choice for madrid rather than try to buy another player from the market.

His aging will be also impacting his blood vessel too.

Real Madrid is assembling an outstanding team of players who will take over for Modric in the future years; they are young and eager to learn from the Croatia midfielder. Modric has the strength to play in league games for Los Blancos; it's not even an issue; the main idea is for the new young players to be able to handle pressures and perform to expectations; once you're at the Santiago Bernabeu, the fans and the club expect you to give your all in all games. Luka Modric is an experienced midfielder in the club, and he is crucial for the development of new players because he teaches them a lot during games.
