⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

Two new recruits from West Ham, each worth £30 million, finally officially reached an agreement with their respective clubs. First there is James Ward-Prowse who has been a target for quite some time for West Ham and he was a pretty good midfielder last season for Southampton. He is a midfielder and also a freekick specialist, surely West ham are very happy for the midfield strengthened by his arrival.

The second is the former Manchester United captain, Harry Maguire, and after going through a rather tough negotiation process, Manchester United finally agreed to accept the fee offer from West Ham. This will be a turning point for Harry Maguire with West Ham after he is no longer believed to be in the main Red Devils squad. West Ham have been busy cooking this summer and they are trying to aim for something new besides winning the conference league title last term.

Maybe for Toby it's a chance to rehabilitate his reputation and show he can play normally. When he played for Leicester City he didn't have such an unremittingly bad game and did a decent job in defence, I don't know what happened to him at Manchester United but obviously the best solution for both him and the team is to sell him

If Chelsea will not give 40m too in the deal, the deal will not happen.

This is good news for West Ham fans because they are getting 2 talented players at once even though Harry Maguire at United did not have a good performance but who knows at West Ham this player will improve his performance so that it will benefit the club that signed him.
I think West Ham this season is very passionate about improving the performance of their players so they are a bit more active in transfer market to get players who are more talented and have good performances.

Zakaria to Monaco from Juventus is almost done.

Tomorrow should be the day of the paperwork, the price will be 22+ bonuses.

Lukaku-Vlahovic is on stand-by.

If Chelsea will not give 40m too in the deal, the deal will not happen.

Normally chelsea are not really interested in signing Vlahovic or any striker at the moment because they already have Nkunku and Jackson and any additional player will be seen as surplus to the team. Even pochettino made a comment that he doesn’t wants alot of players and that he wants to trim the squad as much as possible so there won’t be excessive number of players in the squad. What chelsea are focused on right now is to conclude Caicedo’s deal as soon as possible and sell some few players like Ziyech, Chalobah, Lukaku and Hudson Odoi before the window closes.

Juventus are only trying to force chelsea to pay the amount so they can use it to buy other players.

And Vlahovic could end similarly to Lukaku. I think both have been overrated while I still see some potential for Vlahovic to improve, but he has never really been this outstanding goal scorer who broke all records. He has scored a decent number of goals and he was good when he played for Fiorentina as it is always harder to score in teams that are not the leaders in the league or belong to the top group of the league. But his performance for Juventus Turin wasn't really fascinating. At the same time I think he is also quite expensive.

Maybe moving to a new club will help him regain his prime performance, because if he was still as good as he was for Chelsea, they would not have considered selling him off and replacing him with a new goalkeeper. Chelsea's new goalkeeper Robert Sanchez will be the first choice of the new Chelsea coach when the season begins, so Kepa will not have many opportunities since Chelsea will only be playing in the premier league. In the news, they said the new Bayern coach who was the former coach used Kepa as his second choice while he was at Chelsea, It is surprising that he wants him now as first choice in Bayern Munich.

Kepa is a good shot stopper especially when it's a closed range shot but he's not good at stopping shots from outside the penalty box which is one of his big problem and I don't think he can work on that since he doesn't have the height to stop balls placed at the corners of the goalpost. He is a good keeper and does have his moment and i believe that's why Thomas tuchel wants him. He's also a good penalty goal keeper as he saves penalty regularly. He might suit the Bayern Munich team more than he suits Chelsea so we can never know unless he plays for them. I think he should move over there because at the premier league, his flaws are already known and players can always used that against him to score.

Brazil is hiding young talent so it is not surprising that the potential players Pochettino is targeting are quite difficult to predict. Chelsea, who are now optimistic, certainly bode well for next season, all that remains is Todd Boehly full support in realizing Pochettino's wishes. Because learning from the case the Chelsea coach often disagreed with Todd and then was removed. So now it's better for Todd to leave Chelsea in good hands, let Pochettino do his thing, don't be confused by policies that end up not compatible with each other.

Todd Boehly is in loved with signing youngster as he is more invested in building for the future so if this is another youngster on the radar of Pochettino, he's as good as been called a Chelsea player because Todd Boehly won't hesitate to sign him. Todd has trusted the decision of the scouting players to Pochettino and signing them because in the past it would had been Todd Boehly pushing for signing of players and not the coach but things are different now which means Todd Boehly learnt from the diaster he did the last time he took charge of the transfer window.

--> Barça will be able to reinforce its attack and have a good option of player, besides that Neymar makes the team earn money with marketing, sale of shirts, tickets etc


There's some gossip about Neymar and Al Hilal, but in my opinion it's the worst place to go now, 31 years old is not too old yet to go to Saudi Arabia, even with lot's of good players, there's a huge gap among european championships like La Liga and Premier League and Sau Arabian League

I think Barca won't be able to bring him again, because his salary is quite expensive. Even though they can get money from merchandise sales, I'm sure it wouldn't be enough to cover it. Neymar to Al-Hilal? That would be a good place for Neymar if he can't accept lower salary in Europe. Even though 31 years is a relatively young, but i believe, his salary would be a problem for most European clubs to sign him.

Juventus are only trying to force chelsea to pay the amount so they can use it to buy other players.

So, in this situation, speculation about Lukaku future has not yet found common ground because several teams that wanted to recruit him withdrew from their plans, such as Inter Milan. So the option that Chelsea will take may be agreeing to Juventus offer of their interest in Lukaku by expecting additional money for this transfer saga because Vlahovic will be bartered with Lukaku plus 40 million euros that Chelsea must pay to Juventus.

Apart from that I think the Juventus management will make quite a big blunder if they release Vlahovic in this transfer window. Because Vlahovic is still quite young and he needs time to be able to make a big contribution to juventus. Meanwhile, Lukaku is getting old compared to Vlahovic, especially since Lukaku often experiences injuries so that it will be a blunder that will have bad consequences for Juventus.

Neymar has been linked with Saudi Arabia and MLS teams recently. I don't doubt anymore that Neymar would accept teams from these leagues from now on. Because there is literally no offer or serious interest from European teams. That must be due to his being highly prone to getting injured and his high cost in terms of salary and other demands.

Neymar has already talked to the board about his wish to leave if I'm not mistaken. Hence I expect him to get an offer from outside Europe and to take that offer. Most probably his choice would be Saudi Arabia I think because they would probably offer much more money than an MLS team.  

Neymar leaving? Mbappe having issues because he wants to leave too. It seems PSG would be tested and tried big time, if all the top players who know how to change the dynamics of a match in their favor, leave too soon. I do think Neymar might likely prefer an MLS team compared to the Arabs.
Chelsea on the other hand are going to have a hard time in this season because they got a team with too many players, new manager and new style of play to adapt to before the beginning of season.

Is bad or good news for Manchester United fans losing their captain after Harry Maguire reach agreement deal leaves United and join West Ham United next season. But still not clear with this negotiation process although West Ham United reach agreement with 30 million transfer fees because Maguire have much expensive salary around 190k pound each week. I don't think West Ham United want to pay the same salary receiving by Harry Maguire with Manchester United, have find winning solution for Maguire cut off few percent of his salary and get back regular position.

If you follow Harry Maguire's career on Man United, you will understand that he never made a good contribution for Man United. When he leaves the club, surely all the fans will be happy and Man United management will slightly reduce the allocation of player's salary. For Maguire, he may get a chance to play regularly in the new team. So, nothing bad to happen when Maguire leaves Man United, it is actually the right decision. It is lucky that there is a club that want to pay 30 million, we know that Maguire performed badly during the last season. This is also the reason that West Ham has he right to lower the salary of Maguire, he deserves to get a smaller salary. I'm sure Maguire wants to accept smaller salary as long as he can be a main player in West Ham.

And one thing is that PSG is a scapegoat where Mbappe is a high priority player in the French national team, therefore if he does something that is detrimental to the French side I'm sure PSG will experience pressure. So the scheme is like this, the League 1 match will start soon and as we know Mbappe is not included in the main squad list, while the players he currently has are not so ideal in terms of attack. Relying on Dembele and Neymar who are both injury-prone, so like it or not, the fact is that Mbappe will be played. This means that the rest of playing until next season Mbappe will go according to plan. I support Mbappe in this matter, even though there are a few pros and cons because it provides a lesson for PSG in the future so that they no longer prioritize one player over other players.

PSG seriously messed up the whole situation up. If a player is not ready to sign a contract extension you don’t necessarily force them to stay and if they refuse you don’t also placed the on strict terms again. This doesn’t only sour your relationship with this player but also damages your reputation towards any potential signing. They have shown in the past that they seriously lack regards to players wishes, they did same thing with Messi and now Mbappe. Neymar is now requesting Also for an exit. This will definitely distract PSG this season even if some of ten players still remain

The second is the former Manchester United captain, Harry Maguire, and after going through a rather tough negotiation process, Manchester United finally agreed to accept the fee offer from West Ham. This will be a turning point for Harry Maguire with West Ham after he is no longer believed to be in the main Red Devils squad. West Ham have been busy cooking this summer and they are trying to aim for something new besides winning the conference league title last term.

Harry Maguire’s deal has only had a fee agreement between both clubs but there are things that are yet to be finalized most especially the personal terms. There are plans that he might me named captain by David Moyes. But the stalling part in this deal is the fact that Maguire wants a compensation from Manchester United which has around 10 million. Until then we can’t confirm the deal first.

After Ward-Prowse I think WestHam will place higher attention towards acquiring McTominay who United feel is above the 30M bid made by WestHam

Chelsea on the other hand are going to have a hard time in this season because they got a team with too many players, new manager and new style of play to adapt to before the beginning of season.

I don't think Neymar is a sales target for PSG this season because he has recovered from injury and can help the PSG team next season. Apart from that, PSG still needs Neymar in terms of experience to support their performance in the next season. I think PSG's focus right now is selling Mbappe after Mbappe didn't extend a new contract with PSG.

Apart from that, Neymar is also quite comfortable at PSG and he also has a contract until 2027. Moreover, Neymar release clause is set high enough by PSG so that it will make it difficult for European teams to recruit Neymar. Except for the team from the Saudi Arabian league who was able to send the offer as desired by PSG. Several Premiere League teams have expressed their interest in recruiting Neymar, such as Arsenal and Manchester United.

I have read the same posts regarding Neymar on this board. the difference is, the first post said that Neymar wanted to return to his old club, namely Barcelona, ​​while your post linked it to MLS, which ultimately attracted me to do a search. Rumor has it that Neymar has officially confirmed to PSG his intention to leave Paris before the end of the transfer window this summer. French sports newspaper L'Equipe reported on Monday, August 7, 2023, that the Brazil international wants to return to Barcelona even though the Catalan club are not interested in signing his former player.

On the same page, Neymar also expressed his complaints regarding the lack of protection aimed at PSG for his players following the incident with PSG fans. according to several other sources which I will not reveal the sources of, PSG are aware that they will not sell him for less than 150 million euros, although they are willing to accept a loan to supplement his huge salary.

Other news, Al hilal has been associated with Neymar. I'm pretty sure Al Hilal has the courage to pay Neymar with a high price tag. only, the problem is whether Neymar is willing. So, as for MLS, are they able to pay Neymar's wages or according to the price asked by PSG to let him go. to be honest, I'm not too sure about that. the only club that is able to meet the salary and price value of Neymar is, the Saudi club. Anyway, I understand why this news is the latest news. however, I will not review from that side. so, it looks like PSG will start releasing players who have big names and they will rebuild PSG with a new philosophy under the tutelage of Luis Enrique.

An offer like 110 million euros to Kane? Bayern Munich really want to complete this signing as soon as possible. But despite offering a lot of money for him Tottenham chairman is just continuing to resist. I don't know how long he can maintain this attitude against Bayern Munich. Because the offer is just getting better in time.

It looks like Bayern Munich are fully concentrated on signing only Kane for this season. Therefore I expect them to continue to make improved offers until some point. Hopefully they can be successful as well because Kane should leave that place already.

Because the offer is just getting better in time.

That is typical of Daniel Levy, it is very difficult to negotiate with him if you are interested in one of their important players, this wouldn't be the first time that Daniel Levy has rejected reasonable amounts of money for Harry Kane, only for the player to continue in the club. The EPL season starts in a few days and the transfer window closes in a few weeks, if this deal is going to happen, i'm pretty sure all the parties involved would want it done as soon as possible. I still believe that if Kane really wants to leave, he has to somewhat force his way out of the team, and the first step in doing that is to hand in a transfer request.

Kepa is a good shot stopper especially when it's a closed range shot but he's not good at stopping shots from outside the penalty box which is one of his big problem and I don't think he can work on that since he doesn't have the height to stop balls placed at the corners of the goalpost.

He might suit the Bayern Munich team more than he suits Chelsea so we can never know unless he plays for them. I think he should move over there because at the premier league, his flaws are already known and players can always used that against him to score.

The problem in analyzing Chelsea players is that it's even difficult because Graham Potter destroy everything, the players didn't have a wonderful moment. They conceded goals that it became a norm that one can't even predict what these guys were capable of doing. Kepa has a lot of potential been a young player that have devoted his career to Chelsea, it was the same goal keeper Tuchel used to make the Champions League winners for Chelsea and all of sudden everything start to failed for Chelsea when they changed the managers. I think the defenders weren't doing their job perfectly then but if they will be making more money from him than letting the contract expired, if it will give Pochettino good sales to Bayern, it's up to them, he has done his time perfectly for Chelsea.

Todd Boehly is in loved with signing youngster as he is more invested in building for the future so if this is another youngster on the radar of Pochettino, he's as good as been called a Chelsea player because Todd Boehly won't hesitate to sign him. Todd has trusted the decision of the scouting players to Pochettino and signing them because in the past it would had been Todd Boehly pushing for signing of players and not the coach but things are different now which means Todd Boehly learnt from the diaster he did the last time he took charge of the transfer window.

We all see what happens to the players they brought to Chelsea after the World Cup, the PR was great thinking that Chelsea would perfect their game and come back to form but all turned out to waste of investment that weren't put to good use, Enzo Fernandez, Joao Felix, Mudryk and others, about $400m were wasted in vain without showing anything for the club. I hope this time they turn this around before at the very end of the season else Todd Boehly will have no choice than to auction this blue club.

Harry Maguire agreeing personal terms is never a problem. the guy wants out of Old Trafford and the toxic environment. Yes, Ward Prowse deal to West Ham is confirmed too. With Manchester City trying to buy Pacqueta from West Ham for 80M, it looks likely that the hammers will push forward and get McTominay for 40M unless the clubside refuse to sell.

An impressive premier league season beholds us.

[Leviathan.007]

Lukaku-Vlahovic is on stand-by.

If Chelsea will not give 40m too in the deal, the deal will not happen.

Normally chelsea are not really interested in signing Vlahovic or any striker at the moment because they already have Nkunku and Jackson and any additional player will be seen as surplus to the team. Even pochettino made a comment that he doesn’t wants alot of players and that he wants to trim the squad as much as possible so there won’t be excessive number of players in the squad. What chelsea are focused on right now is to conclude Caicedo’s deal as soon as possible and sell some few players like Ziyech, Chalobah, Lukaku and Hudson Odoi before the window closes.

Juventus are only trying to force chelsea to pay the amount so they can use it to buy other players.

I don't think if the deal is going to happen ever between these two teams because Juventus fans are in the situation to say welcome to Lukaku and they are against this player which can make a negative atmosphere in the team for Lukaku if he joins Juventus. Also, Chelsea didn't need it before because of Nkunku.
Now when Nkunku is injured they maybe need this player for the next season.

Previously I thought Bayern Munich would resign to sign Harry Kane after their third bid was rejected by Levy. But in fact Bayern Munich again made a higher bid to convince Levy that he could no longer refuse the offer recently made by Bayern Munich.

I think that after losing Sadio Mane to Al Nassr, Bayern Munich should be able to fill their gaps in their front line by signing Harry Kane in this transfer window. But Levy is one of the Tottenham bosses who has been very difficult to convince to let Harry Kane go.
