⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Bananington]

Tottenham is lucky to sign Maddison with 40m only, there are many teams interested in Maddison. Previously, I guess Maddison will be valued more than 50m. But Tottenham paid him with 40m, it is a nice signing for Tottenham.

Maddison willingness for the move to Tottenham made the business an easy one.

Tottenham chooses the right player to strengthen their squad. Maddison is a very cool midfielder, he is quite offensive. Tottenham has a lack of midfielders, especially a midfielder who has a great capability in attacking. Maddison will complete the squad of Tottenham, I'm sure he can fit with Tottenham tactics and starting players.

Tottenham has been a very disappointing team for many seasons now without being able to win anything. The have always had good players, but somehow they always perform badly. We expect the new coach to change all that and hopefully he will know exactly where to use all the players he will keep in the club and the new ones that have just joined them like Maddison.

Tottenham have completed the signing of a new goal keeper from Empoli, Guglielmo Vicario for a fee between £16m to £17.1million.

Kim min jae was wanted by United a lot, and I mean like really A LOT and they failed to get him, which is a big reason why all the fans want Glazer family out in the end. Because they fail to get the player they want, let alone the player they may need. He would have been perfect for their defense, and this dude will worth 100 million when he peaks at a big club as well, Bayern will make sure of that.

They are going to be pretty upset, if the takeover happened early, that would have resulted with Kim maybe getting a lot more money offered by United and would have been easier to get him. I am not saying they would have offered 20 million a year, but at least 12-15 range would have been possible, and that is a normal price for a future star of Uniteds defense if you ask me.

Well, it looks like Bayern Munich has already agreed with him on some type of personal terms.
He is going to go to Bayern Munich if everything is alright.
Apparently, he is going to Bayern Munich for a €50 million euro deal. Now Manchester United has been beaten in this race.

In other football transfer news as concerns the German league, an agreement was reached last week for Liverpool's young player, Fabio Carvalho. He would be joining Leipzig on a strict loan deal without a buy option that would run until June 2024.  
Klopp with this move shows the team still got plans for the Portuguese player despite the shuffling ongoing in the team after their struggling performance last season.

[ampere]

  But their defenders are slightly below Premier League quality. And Kim Min-jae could help them close that gap. 

This is a wrong statement, Yes Kim Min Jae can improve the Manchester United backline and this does not mean the MUFC Backline is terrible lol. Manchester united defensive troubles is over exaggerated by everyone and somehow everyone believes it. MUFC conceded as many goals as second placed Arsenal team; definitely defenders are not the problem.

What MUFC need is a quality attacker and midfielders; with Mount deal finalized, i reckon MUFC will sign another midfielder and striker before the summer ends.

[Asiska02]

Arsenal and Arteta strengthening their squad isn't my problem but they're doing it ridiculously with paying these outrageous fees for players that aren't worth it or even had a spectacular season at least, paying such fees for Havertz who played in 35 of 38 matches for Chelsea this season but only scored 7 and assited only once, Eddie Nketiah off the bench was literally more productive than Havertz was last season, I'm not saying that makes him a better player than Havertz, but makes the outrageous fees Arsenal paid a dumb move, and now they're threading the same path with Declan Rice saga, Partey was a better DM than Rice was last season imo, and Arsenal would be better off not parting ways with over £100m plus addons for Rice, especially with his contract almost running out already at West Ham, and they could get for almost free next season, getting Declan Rice would not by any means increase their chances of winning the title race, imo opinion.

Your opinions are valid points but I have some exceptions to your opinion still. There’s this question that comes into mind in cases like this “What if”. What if Declan Rice and the coming of Kai Havertz to Arsenal will improve their midfield with the new set of players they will be playing with at Arsenal. Arsenal knew what they were looking for and they got it, so I see no reason why they should feel remorseful about paying the amount set for this players. The prices might seem outrageous, but since the demand for it was urgent, in a typical trader market, the price will definitely go on the rise too.

Talking about Partey, I don’t know why Arsenal part ways with him, they should have at list kept him till the contract expires. I really love his type of football and I know many Arsenal players and fans will miss him in that defense line.

[nurilham]

Well, it looks like Bayern Munich has already agreed with him on some type of personal terms.

Apparently, he is going to Bayern Munich for a €50 million euro deal. Now Manchester United has been beaten in this race.

Bayern seems to sign him successfully.
If Bayern Munich already got a personal agreement with the player, it will be easier to sign him.
They only need to ensure the amount of money for the transfer fees, I believe Bayern Munich will have no problem with the transfer fees.
€50 million isn't too huge money for Bayern Munich, especially when they really need a new defender like Kim-Min Jae. Signing Kim will strengthen Bayern defense, it is really needed since Bayern Munich defense looks not strong enough in the last season.

Sure, Man United is likely no chance to sign Kim. If Kim agrees with the offer from Bayern, he probably will focus on Bayern. Now, it depends on Bayern and Napoli management about he transfer fees agreement.

[Leviathan.007]

We were expecting to see Edson Álvarez join Dortmund and I think this Mexican defender could help Dortmund in the next season and give them more luck in Bundesliga while everything was done, ib the last moment Dortmund changed their mind and they said they are going to extend their offer with Emre Can and they won't need to hire Álvarez anymore.
So they won't need to pay 70m for Álvarez anymore.

[Igebotz]

According to Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United have a deal for Mason Mount with Chelsea for 60mil

The deal it’s done weeks ago

Strange deal this one in my opinion. I really don’t think he’s that good. Maybe they think it’s good to have anotger homegrown player due to the rules around having a certain amount of English players in the squad.

I just don’t think he’s a great player, maybe the takeover isn’t as close as we’re led to believe because surely if Qatari owners with deep pockets were coming then better players would be targeted.

British tax

I'm a Chelsea fan, but aside from being a high presser, I'm not sure what Mount is really good at; we all thought he was going to be the next Lampard owing to the English media hype.

I'm sure if Chelsea hadn't been in danger of losing him for free next season, his asking price would have been higher. English players are prohibitively pricey.

[makishart]

Pochettino is selling every notable player the club is having, only time before he sold out Toed Boehly  But joke aside, Chelsea had sold roughly 6 players that has amount to $160m, Mason Mount been sold for $55 inclusive of the adds on, that will be roughly $205 millions. This amount is good to buy talented players from Benfica and some other clubs that are known for selling of good players.

Chelsea is having another target. Moises caicedo was still in the radar. Consider chelsea has raised a lot of money and it's likely caicedo gonna come to the chelsea as soon as possible.
There is still another player to be sold by chelsea like lukaku. The negotiation with intermilan is still happening right now. I hope everything going well for lukaku transfer.

Congrats to Manchester United for bringing in Mason, but I thought Erik had only $100m as balance to buy more players, now that he has spent $55m, he would be left with $45m and that can only buy only a single great player except that balance amount was just a speculation from anti Manchester United people.

It could be a bit more. Onana is next. As per manchester united itself is still talks with inter regarding onana's transfer. Intermilan has been giving deadline for manchester united to tell intermilan its final decision regarding onana.

Mason Mount I think Chelsea's attacking central midfielder's signing to Manchester United is a great transfer. Mason Mount will make an important contribution to strengthening Manchester United's midfield. The English star is a very fast player. His attacking style, especially from midfield, is a challenge for opposition defenders to counter. Mason Mount will probably try to give his best by joining manchester united and hopefully manchester united will fulfill the purpose for which they signed him from chelsea.

I hope so but seeing how bad his performance last season makes me think if i shall not expect big from him before we will see how good or bad his perfomance in the pre-match.

It's official where Kim will become a Bayern Munich player next season after Bayern Munich beat Manchester United to get Kim signature. I think Manchester United setback in approaching Kim is because they weren't serious about getting Kim. On the Bayern Munich side they get an injection of power in their defense. Bayern Munich under the new CEO continues to make improvements to their squad. I think Bayern munich should also bring in a new goalkeeper and an attacker in this transfer window.

Tottenham has been a very disappointing team for many seasons now without being able to win anything. The have always had good players, but somehow they always perform badly. We expect the new coach to change all that and hopefully he will know exactly where to use all the players he will keep in the club and the new ones that have just joined them like Maddison.

Tottenham have not been able to compete in the trophy race because they really don't have the mental strength to win a trophy. If you look at the strength in the depth of their squad, of course it's quite good, moreover they have enough quality attackers but in the end they still lost to other teams in winning trophies. Well if Harry Kane goes i am sure they will have big problems on their front line next season.

[AndySt]

True, De Gea has agreed to extend his contract with Manchester United until the end of next season and now the deal is just waiting for Manchester United to sign it. De Gea has lost more than half of his wages by the time this contract extension expires. obviously, this cost him a lot, I don't know what reason made him so sure about extending his contract at the expense of half his salary. If he really wants to stay with Manchester United, he must accept the fact that De Gea is no longer Manchester United's main goalkeeper.

In general, I am very surprised that de Gea is holding on to a place at Manchester United so much. I still understand that if it was a matter of increased wages, but the Ministry of Justice, with its latest proposals with a salary reduction, seems to have removed this advantage. I think de Gea is still a great age for a goalkeeper and he can still find himself a new club from the class of top clubs. Especially after MU suddenly changed his mind and still wants to cut his salary, when de Gea had already agreed to the proposed conditions. Yes, the goalkeeper sometimes makes monstrous mistakes, but at the same time he makes much more fantastic saves. So I want to give just one piece of advice to David. You need to look for a new club.

After last season on loan at Manchester United, now Barcelona are rumored to be interested in bringing in Marcel Sabitzer in the summer. It seems that Bayern Munich will be quite happy if Barcelona wants to make an offer for this midfielder, considering that his performances with Manchester United during the last half of the season were very good. I don't know why Manchester United didn't want to make him permanent, even though his performances have often been the key to Manchester United winning in all competitions.

On the other hand, it seems that Barcelona are interested in signing him so that their midfield will get stronger later and we know that the midfielder options at Barcelona are lacking at the moment. Does Barcelona want to spend this time? considering that their financial problems are not yet fully stable and they need to get new players to compete with other teams next season.

As far as Inkow in the last season, Marcel Sabitzer couldn't help Bayern Munich a lot and they are surely happy that Barcelona send him an offer so they can sell this player and earn some money, while the fact about Barcelona is they need to hire more midfielders and they also need a hire a forward for the next season.

Finally, Manchester United reach agreement deal on 60 million euro for signing Mason Mount from Chelsea, looks expensive values has spent by Manchester United after Mount confirmed will not extend contract with Chelsea expiry on next season. Chelsea more dominance with player sell than in under Pochettino become manager and looks Argentina's tactician want to make balance in their squad before Primer League start on next two months later.

Due Mason Mount position as attacking midfielder, right now Manchester United has competitive position for Bruno Fernandez and Erik Tan Hag many option with attacking midfielder. I don't sure based on quality between Mason Mount or Bruno Fernandez who will get regular position but has option both players will play in the same time.

Manchester United has a good group of excellent players, and they don't hold back in terms of performance.  We should anticipate the best from the Red Devils next season, especially since they are making important signings throughout the transfer window. We are watching their every move; acquiring Mount is not enough; they need to add more potential replacements for their key players, particularly on defense. Mason Mount's arrival at Old Trafford is welcome news for Manchester United fans. Erik Ten Hag pushes even harder before they successfully close the sale.

I think the most important thing Manchester United needs to do for the next season is try to keep the players they need because the Manchester United we saw in the last week had strong players and Ten Hag is surely trying to keep the players they have and then they can think about hiring better players if they need.

[Captain Corporate]

Dude is nearly 33 years old with majority of his life spent on Manchester, of course he will want to stay. I am not even talking about just business here, I mean like his kids must be in some school there, or maybe just being used to the same life basically. Even if he is the backup goalkeeper which would require United to find a better goalkeeper and they haven't yet, and with this extension it could be possible for them to not look for one, and with Glazers constantly postponing the takeover, I feel like maybe that may not even happen and he might stay because Glazers hate spending money so they would rather have De Gea for cheap instead of getting a better one. So both professionally and also in his regular life, this is a much better move.

[SOKO-DEKE]

Arsenal and Arteta strengthening their squad isn't my problem but they're doing it ridiculously with paying these outrageous fees for players that aren't worth it or even had a spectacular season at least, paying such fees for Havertz who played in 35 of 38 matches for Chelsea this season but only scored 7 and assited only once, Eddie Nketiah off the bench was literally more productive than Havertz was last season, I'm not saying that makes him a better player than Havertz, but makes the outrageous fees Arsenal paid a dumb move, and now they're threading the same path with Declan Rice saga, Partey was a better DM than Rice was last season imo, and Arsenal would be better off not parting ways with over £100m plus addons for Rice, especially with his contract almost running out already at West Ham, and they could get for almost free next season, getting Declan Rice would not by any means increase their chances of winning the title race, imo opinion.

seriously,I don't know what arteta see in havertz that is much interested in him so much that he want to offer that kind of money for him.the first day I saw a news about arsenal saying to sign havertz I thought it was just a rumor because I don't think arsenal will even near to signed him with worst season he had last season,I believe havertz have lose form and it is never a good idea to sign player that are not good form thinking that maybe they will pick form back.for Declan rice I believe he a good option because is in good form and I may say if he come to arsenal he may play greatly but till he need a good players to peer with with

Talking about Partey, I don’t know why Arsenal part ways with him, they should have at list kept him till the contract expires. I really love his type of football and I know many Arsenal players and fans will miss him in that defense line.

Partey is a fantastic player, as we are all aware, and he has given the arsenal midfield his all.As a result, whenever Partey is absent in the midfield, the squad always felt
it  absence.Due to his impact but still Arsenal needs a strong player in the defensive middle of the field once more.Selling Partey doesn't seem like a smart option to me right now, as the Arsenal squad is doing well. However, Arsenal was not suppose sell him for now.

[Velvet78]

It is difficult to understand Arsenal about that Havertz signing for a big amount of money indeed. But I'm considering that he would be able to play in his natural position at Arsenal whenever he is in the lineup. Because that was how he impressed other top teams while he was playing for Leverkusen before. But he started to be less effective at Chelsea.

This is a golden opportunity for Havertz to bring back his better performances as an attacking midfielder. Arsenal would like to make sure he is really worth his transfer fee. It feels like Arteta will make him born again there and we will watch a way better player. I would really like to see the real Havertz there.

It's great keeper but not with all of his blunders. ten hag must put this as the main concern as making blunders in a very important competition will lead its club to the lose. Onana will come soon and he is better than de gea.
The new contract gets some revision as he gets even less salary. I hope de gea will leave from MU and onana will come in. It's good for MU to have onana as de gea's replacement.

The goalkeeper position at Manchester United is currently in disarray, one might say. Personally, I am concerned about Ten Hag's indecisiveness regarding De Gea's contract extension. In addition, acquiring players from other clubs seems to pose a challenge, and Ten Hag must come to terms with the fact that the Gazler family is not on his side. The rumors of Manchester United changing hands should be resolved promptly to facilitate the player transfer process. Until now, I still hold disdain for the Gazler family, who appear to be playing games when it comes to selling the club, despite two interested parties already being present.

It appears difficult to part ways with Onana from Inter Milan. Perhaps Ten Hag needs to make a swift decision.

I understand perfectly well that Ten Hag and the club's management already want to see a new face in the team's goal, and therefore the club's legal department does not even approve a signed contract from de Gea. It just surprises me that the club has cut his salary twice, they openly hint to him that he will no longer be the first number of the team and de Gea is still trying to stay at the club. At his age and with his talent, there are still huge chances to find a top club even higher than Manchester United in its current state.

I'm sure if Chelsea hadn't been in danger of losing him for free next season, his asking price would have been higher. English players are prohibitively pricey.

My problem with Chelsea is that they often play their players out of position with different players playing together while having different ideas and I'm not sure of the last Chelsea coach that have a squad or starting xi, playing in their rightful position and having one specific goal or philosophy, Havertz playing as Centre forward was the height for me, and every Chelsea fans blames a fish for its inability to sing, Mason Mount is just another player that you really can't place a specific attribute to, unlike Havertz who is very technically good player imo, but as No 10, or just behind the striker, while I would rather play Mason Mount as a LM, because he might not be the best individual player, he's a very good team player and players like that really cannot be attributed to just one skillset, but are pivotal to a team's general chemistry. That's why most the new Chelsea signing haven't figure their shit out either, there need to be an adaptive game plan and general structure, not just having 11 players on the field leaving them to just go figure it out themselves.

Well, you made a fine point. I'm not a fan of Arsenal but Arteta has won my heart on numerous occasions so I trust that he knows what he is doing. I know the reason why these signings have met a lot of criticism is because Arsenal is one of the few teams in the PL Big 6 that spends so little in the market with a majority of their players coming from their academic. As for Havertz, I wouldn't say his poor form was 100% his fault (some is) but the entirety of the Chelsea squad performed below par throughout the season. We even Mendy losing his spot to Kepa. My point is that since it's a team sport, that might have been attributed to his poor performance. I'm rooting for him to shine at Arsenal.

I have no problem with Arteta taking "risks".

At the age of 32 years it seems that it will be difficult for De Gea to find a new club I mean the club at the same level as Manchester United
He was approaching retirement while there are more young goalkeepers who are ready to replace him it will be difficult for him to compete
I also heard that one of the teams from the Saudi League was interested in contracting De Gea but this rumors cannot be confirmed.
