⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[KTChampions]

It turns out that when Guardiola said a few months ago that he would let Silva go to Barcelona without any problems (since they respect the player’s desire, etc.), was a lie and a bluff? Looks like the bluff failed and now they have to double his salary LOL. I hope other City players will be equally ambitious and City's salary fund will simply burst 

First of all, I think selling Bernardo Silva is probably not the best idea for Manchester City. I believe when a player has good chemistry with the squad, he should not be replaced with anyone else. He is also only 28 years of age. This is basically the prime years of his career. So I don’t think it is actually going to make sense for Manchester City to sell him right now.

I also think that £87 million is probably a little less for a player like him. This is a time when any player who even has a little bit of potential goals for more than a hundred million. So I don’t think reaching around a hundred is actually a bad idea. But putting 100 million tag on a player also means that it is going to be very hard for other clubs to get him. And so I guess Manchester City are actually willing to sell him if they get the price that they want. What do you guys think?

What is there to think about if they are willing to DOUBLE his salary just to keep him in the City and extend the contract.
But I wrote about something else - I remember exactly that when this option of Silva's transfer to Barcelona initially arose, Guardiola spun a lot of beautiful words about the fact that City do not hold anyone by force and respect the wishes of the players, etc. And it turns out that it was not true in the sense that they really need Silva, and beautiful words were just an attempt to "solve" the issue not by increasing wages, but by introducing into Silva's head the idea that City doesn't need him that much.

Last update, Mbappe confirmed that he would stay with PSG until the 2023/24 season ended even though he was not played at all, PSG has bad position what happen with Mbappe because he won't extend contract but want to stay with PSG until his contract over next years and earn bonuses clause 90 million euro. PSG never tolerance what did by Mbappe, he was removed from pre season squad tour to Japan and looks strongest with PSG want to sell him before contract expiry.

PSG have to sell Mbappe with lower values and difficult to make new transfer record because never find teams want to sign him with higher fees transfer and waiting until his contract over.

In fact, we do not know what is happening in the team, since there are no official statements. In recent days, there have been rumors that PSG are ready to offer Mbappe a contract for 10 years with a total amount of about $ 1 billion, but now I see that Mbappe is surprised that PSG did not take him to the off-season training. Why did this happen, why is Mbappe not preparing with the team for the new season? Apparently everything is not as simple as we see it, it really looks like some kind of conflict.

When I look at the salaries Saudi Arabia Pro League is offering to the players I absolutely respect the players going there. However Mbappe's going there would be a big disappointment for me. It would be a very big joy for football lovers to watch Mbappe especially in the Premier League together with Haaland.

I agree with you on this. But if Mbappe joins the Saudi Pro League, we still have to respect him. I think the English Premier League would be a good challenge for Mbappe. Because Mbappe could compete with Haaland there. But the problem is that Manchester City dominate the Premier League. And they don't give any chance to their competitors. In this case, no matter which team Mbappe goes to, he will not get a fair competitive opportunity against Haaland. Still, I think Arsenal or Chelsea would be the best team for him in the Premier League. Outside of the English Premier League, the Spanish Laliga would be the best choice for him. But the Saudi Pro League is still too early for him.

If the choice of which club to play for in the English premier League is between Arsenal and Chelsea for Mbappe, I think he will pick Arsenal. He hinted he would love to play for the club sometime back and his mentor in the person of Thierre Henry used to play there and was one of the greatest ever.

Mbappe would fit well into a team that has promise and is a fertile ground for growth like Arsenal, rather than one who is yet to get organized and has changed managers more than once in one playing season, like Chelsea.

If Mbappè will leave PSG a lot of strikers will change their own team.

Vlahovic is set to leave for PSG if they will sell Mbappè or to Real Madrid if they will are not selling Mbappè

[Huppercase]

It is now clear that the parties have not been able to come to agreement on a new contract for the team, and it will be very difficult to persuade Mbappe to stay because it appears that he plans to leave this summer. Since he won't sign a new contract and the club doesn't want to miss out on the money from his sale, they also want to sell him this summer. He was removed from the preseason roster since they don't expect him joining the team in the upcoming campaign.  This gives Madrid the go-ahead to make an offer for him. Madrid can't deny that they need Mbappe's talents, therefore they should try to sign him regardless of how much money he would cost. I am confident that they will quickly recover their investment.

AL Hilal offers is still on the table, it is left for the young lad to accept or deny it, he knows better and what he want, going to Saudi Arabia is as good as end of his career because there will be nothing like fame and comparison with other young players in European clubs, he would always be among the old players like Ronaldo and Benzema that are already old cats of football. I respect him for staying in PSG, I believe before that new offers will come or going to choice of his club will be easier than all the pressure PSG is trying to make upon on him because they want to make back the wages they have paid to him from another club or accept slavery contract that will end his career, Mbape is smart and I like that about him.

Arthur is on loan from Juventus to Fiorentina.

What an end of this player... he was a promising star at Barcelona 5 years ago, and he is so lost.


1 year and he will be back, hoping he will shine again this year.

He barely featured in games during his loan spell at Liverpool. I was excited during his arrival but that quickly turned sour when he wasn't participating in any games (A total of 1 appearance) which is why Liverpool had no interest to extend hid stay. Goodluck to him at Fiorentina. I hope he picks up form again. These things always happen in retrospect - More often than note, it's better to stick to a club that you're in good form and doing well vs moving away.

Inter Miami want Eden Hazard following Real Madrid exit?

Could this be the resurrection of Hazard's career??
I doubt because he is old already and the strength is reduced, he wasted the peak of his career in Real Madrid. But then, seeing him in a new club, especially where Messi is will have rejuvenate his career a bit if only the media can hype him that much.
In Maimi, I am sure Eden will see playing time and that is what is needed to pick form.

I really hope that it can be like this, because what this player does is of another level, it may be that the USA or in any other country he goes to take his expertise again and shine again, although those who go to soccer of the MLS it is practically going to retire , that is what I do not like , however , one must also think About the Benefit that a player can bring to his life, it is not as competitive fútbol as Europe, in my opinion it is not It catches my attention to watch MLS football, I didn't even see it when Bweckham left, so now with Messi and well , things can Look Different , I just hope that the fútbol of these players doesn't reduce anymore and they can continue to play , without carrying age.

PSG paid a lot of money for Mbappe when they bought him from Monaco and its normal that they should try and sell him to get some money back. But looks like Mbappe is either greddy or something else. But i think they will get him back in the squad once season starts because he is the best player in that team

Mbappe will become another Gareth Bale of Real Madrid but for PSG this time and the list of similar players done such attitude are long and I remember there was a player who did this for PSG this time and he was thrown on the benches until he went out of the team.
PSG has nothing to do with him, just sell him even with loss rather than seeing him walk free and smiling on their faces..

Well, we all know what Mbappé's strategy is, always make noise for PSG to hire him for more money, he is a key player for PSG, and Real Madrid is not interested in him, he has no choice but to stay at PSG, the sheikh himself told him that the easiest way is for him to stay but sign a new contract, as things are, it is easier and more profitable for him to stay at PSG, because Liverpool or Arsenal don't allow him They will offer the same as PSG, also, as I have said many times, saying no to Madrid once is saying no forever, that's the way the white team is, they don't give second chances, no matter how good they are.

The French player is very good, he has an impressive talent, I couldn't say that he does it wrong, he is a player who would do well in any team, but I think that his ego has played him very badly here, besides, I think that not having won the World Cup is something that has affected him a lot at the moment, things sometimes happen for a reason, and for now I think that the best destination for the French is PSG.

In the latest saga twist, Mbappe has been left out of PSG’s preseason tour of Japan and will remain in Paris to finalise his future plans.

PSG are ready to offload him, but Real Madrid are assessing their options, after originally planning to sign the 24-yeear-old for free in 2024.

As per reports from Sky Sports, Mbappe only wants to join Madrid, and is prepared to sit on the bench next season and run out his contract.

Source: https://www.football-espana.net/2023/07/22/kylian-mbappe-prepared-to-sit-on-psg-bench-in-2023-24

I don't know Whether to call this a whim or a lot of love for Real Madrid, things can be greatly affected when things are forced to be done when you want, if at one point you didn't want to leave, you don't have to force it, I think Mbappé has a way of seeing Madrid as if he were doing the same as he did at PSG, he can't get there as he did at PSG, and above all I think that everything he's doing is Turning into a problem that It is difficult to Overcome , Personally I think that Mbappé is a player who overreaches in his actions and that they can affect a whole team , being on the bench all the time is not the best option, he will lose shape and he will look like a capricious child.

It would be a very big joy for football lovers to watch Mbappe especially in the Premier League together with Haaland.

A player like Mbappe does look fit to be in the Premier League, because apart from having a bit of agility in playing, he is also still young so Mbappe can use his time for a career in a more well-known league. But rumors about this still don't have a clear meeting point except for the option to stay at PSG next season for Mbappe, because I would also be very happy if Mbappe could go to the Premier League leaving PSG.

You've gotta be kidding me right?
Kylian Mbappe does fit in anywhere, but it has to be a club with past glory and winning records. Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, and also Manchester City. For now the chances of him leaving are currently slim, but sure he'll leave Paris Saint Germans next season.

Authur Melo? I never watched him for a long time with Barcelona, a little bit when he moved to Juventus. Godspeed with him, as he eventually moves to Florentina.

It'll be stupid to also see Bernardo Silva leaving Manchester City, he does deserves to leave after winning it all but it'll make the Manchester City squad so weak. Hazard to Inter Miami? Another Pensioner moving to take all his retirement plans.

These things always happen in retrospect - More often than note, it's better to stick to a club that you're in good form and doing well vs moving away.

He was a very interesting player to watch at Barcelona and had a very impressive debut season there, his role I'm the midfield was superb and I was surprised that despite having a good performance he was still offloaded by Barcelona and since then he's had tough time adapting to other leagues, his was career was that of Liverpool and  wasn't given enough chance to prove himself but it's a good thing moved to a lesser team maybe he'll be able to build back his form from there, since he's still young maybe if he recovers fast he could get the attention of any top European club again.

 Well I feel why Fiorentina got him on loan is because they're likely to lose one of their key man Sofyan Amrabat this season to Manchester united who are desperately in need of another midfielder and have already have terms agreed with him, but are not sure yet if he'll have a good performance in their club or control the midfield area like Amrabat did for the team, so his chances of becoming a permanent signing for them is based on his performance.

If Mbappè will leave PSG a lot of strikers will change their own team.

Vlahovic is set to leave for PSG if they will sell Mbappè or to Real Madrid if they will are not selling Mbappè

I think Mbappe is one of the players who has attracted quite a number of big European teams to sign Mbappe in this transfer window. So what if PSG releases Mbappe to the Saudi Arabian league team next season. Can a team sell their player to a team the player doesn't want and that is likely to be done by psg in this transfer window.

I think for now there has been no offer coming to PSG to buy Mbappe. But most likely the big European teams want to bring in Mbappe to strengthen their team next season. However, the high price will discourage teams interested in signing Mbappe. Liverpool have previously been linked with Mbappe but so far we have only heard reports that Real Madrid really want to sign Mbappe.

[Igebotz]

If Mbappè will leave PSG a lot of strikers will change their own team.

Vlahovic is set to leave for PSG if they will sell Mbappè or to Real Madrid if they will are not selling Mbappè

Vlahovic to PSG is stalling the Lukaku deal since Juventus can only make a bid if Vlahovic is sold, and PSG are not ready to sign a new striker unless Mbappe is sold, and no team has showed interest in Mbappe at the moment due to his costly release clause.

Getting rid of Lukaku is becoming increasingly difficult for us.

Vlahovic is set to leave for PSG if they will sell Mbappè or to Real Madrid if they will are not selling Mbappè

I kinda wonder about this because now that I think about this, a player cant really sign for another team if he personally didnt agree to sign with those teams so the worse that PSG can do is to bench Mbappe for the whole season which is a no brainer at all to even bench him. All the other teams are probably not going to bid for him as every other teams know that Mbappe will only want Real Madrid

[CLS63]

There is even an expected offer to be made by Al-Hilal for Mbappe soon. They are preparing a deal with a transfer fee of 200 million euros. I can't even imagine how much they will pay for Mbappe's salary and other demands. But these all shouldn't still be enough to convince Mbappe to go to Saudi Arabia anyway.

It is just too early for Mbappe to go there. I think it would be a big hit to his career just because he will make more money. I assume he doesn't want that now so he will turn that down.

well, if that happens, PSG will lose their power to sell Mbappe to another team if he doesn't want to join the team. If we look at Mbappe where he is quite calm with the current situation I don't even see him making a big deal out of him being left out of the pre-season tour.

Mbappe has indeed made a behind-the-scenes agreement with Real Madrid to join Real Madrid when the contract period ends with PSG. But PSG don't want that to happen as they could lose a lot of money if Mbappe leaves for free next season. I think it's very likely that if PSG don't manage to sell Mbappe in this transfer window then PSG will reserve Mbappe for next season.

[shinratensei_]

Update from romano regarding mbappe. PSG is willing to sell him asap. I think that being excluded from japan tourney has become a signal if PSG will not be using him next season. I think mbappe will be benched for the whole of season if he is still trying to stay in the club even longer.
Despite Mbappe causing the club to have different intentions, it can still be valued as high as before. Mbappe's market value was also very stable compoared with neymar. PSG has no reason for not to sell him in summer.

Let's wait what team that will be sending first bid for him. Im thinking real madrid will not even try bid on this. PSG has signed a bunch of new players. Mbappe may not be included in the starting lineup next season.

Not a surprise here as PSG have been clear in the beginning of the transfer window that either Mbappe has to sign contract or he will be sold in this transfer window. He had two weeks to decide and it seems two weeks has run out and it is for sure now. From PSG point of view, they are trying anything in order to get something out of Mbappe sale but since they have really took some harsh decision here, it seems like they are the ones at the losing end here.

Madrid seems like the likely destination now and I am also sure that behind the curtains, Mbappe and Madrid have already agreed to something. Will Mbappe backstab Madrid again like last time? I don't think so as Madrid is his dream club and he wouldn't want to lose it now if he were to sign contract extension again.

I had heard that if some players of real madrid have been refusing mbappe's arrival to the club. These players are joselu, brahim diaz, vini even rodrygo. PSG has changed mbappe's status for sale starting from this day.
I would like to see EPL clubs try to get him from PSG.

Well that's an interesting report and would like to see a strong source about this. But I am sure that some of the fans will really be against it.

PSG considered selling Mbappe after the striker refused to extend his contract. Real Madrid still leads the race for Mbappe. Last year, they missed the opportunity to recruit him. As for Kylian Mbappe, this player has yet to make an official statement.
But I believe the French player has goodwill with Real Madrid and will join the Bernabeu next year. Is President Florentino Perez planning to welcome Mbappe for 0 dong and generously for the French striker? However, the Paris team will bring Real Madrid into the negotiations, and they have to export a lot of money.

Well, that's a win and lose situation for PSG. The club will not able to get money if mbappe will be leaving with free agent. It's dilemma for PSG and the best choice to sell him. as soon as possible and getting some money that can be used to buy the players again. Since mbappe has been refusing to extend his contract and PSG had no choice now. PSG has been also identifying if mbappe has been making personal agreement with real madrid for next year. It's a big lost for PSG if the player gonna leave from madrid with free agent. PSG doesn't even want it. We shall wait what's gonna be further development from his drama with PSG. My guess if there will be clubs that send him offer but not as big as PSG wanted.
What price asked by PSG is too much for the football club. It's PSG's fault to bought him with non sense price like that. The club feels how hard is to selling him right now. The only time can tell us.

[X-ray]

I can't even imagine how much they will pay for Mbappe's salary and other demands. But these all shouldn't still be enough to convince Mbappe to go to Saudi Arabia anyway.

Well, that's pretty interesting to wait how much first bid that will be coming from hilal. It looks so crazy to see thet saudi club is trying to get mbappe at such price. I meant the fact that if mbappe's price is very expensive even the european big club will think for twice before try to chase mbappe. I guess that if PSG will not even try to miss such opportunity to sell mbappe to the al hilal if such an offer will be true. Al hilal has not got yet great star after its offer being rejected by messi. It's the time for al hilal to at least pursue mbappe till he will be leaving from PSG and join in the al hilal in the future. PSG will let him go to the club that was able paying a lot of money for him. 200 millions are enough giving PSG a small profit while the club has been also getting benefit caused by mbappe has been playing for PSG a few years.

It is just too early for Mbappe to go there. I think it would be a big hit to his career just because he will make more money. I assume he doesn't want that now so he will turn that down.

It's not too early. Anything can happen. Can you expect european club to make a very big deal like that? It's not even chelsea wanna try to buy him at such price. I would like to see how it will be going on.
Mbappe's transfer saga may start soon. There will be so many fake rumors related to him.

[Leviathan.007]

Since Xavi didn't need Samuel Umtiti for the next season he asked his team to release this player and Barceona released Samuel Umtiti recently but very soon after leaving Barcelona Samuel Umtiti sign his contract with Lille. Samuel Umtiti is going to play for Lille in the next season after signing his contract with Lille for two years

[Coyster]

Mbappe would still make quite a lot of money if he stays in PSG or moves to Real Madrid, thus why would he move to the Saudi Pro League which is a less competitive league and effectively end his chances of winning the CL or the Ballon D'or. There is no chance in hell that Mbappe is going to switch to the Saudi Pro League, he is either going to be forced into signing a new contract with PSG or he is going to be sold to Real Madrid, these are the only two feasible options imo.

I think Mbappe still has big ambitions in his career, so most likely he will turn down offers from Saudi and Qatari teams. It's not PSG who is in control at the moment, because if Mbappe does not want to extend the contract and also does not want to move to another team, then PSG will lose Mbappe with free agent status. What PSG should do is persuade Mbappe and of course set a reasonable price for him, so that there will be many big teams who are interested in signing Mbappe.

Samuel Umtiti is going to play for Lille in the next season after signing his contract with Lille for two years

Xavi Hernandez did not include the former World Cup winner in his team this season; once his contract with the blaugrana was terminated, there was no single spot available for him; all he had to do was move on and find an improved environment where he could notice normally, regular gametime. It's disappointing to see Samuel Umtiti leave Camp Nou this summer and join Lille, a new French club. It's time for the tackling defender to make the most of his opportunity as a Lille player, time to go the gym and develop in all random fixed spots on the body, because he's signed for business this time.
