⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

Al Hilal seems to be ambitious after Neymar was officially signed by Al Hilal now the Arab club is chasing Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrović there will be a new proposal at the end of this week for an offer and negotiations from their side is it possible that this will happen?

I know money can change a player's path there, Mitrović is still not old because he is trying to be 28 years old but the offer from Al Hilal never disappoints along with the salary received.

Al Hilal will be stronger if Mitrović comes to this club. Source

But what will happen to the current players in the team of Al Hilal ? Will they all leave these Arab clubs for greener pastures? And what's with targeting the big names of these clubs, are the Arabs trying to destabilize European sports   to leave theirs more attractive with all these big names??

Btw, talking of Neymar..What is really going on with PSG? Are the players having difficulties with management or its players failing to play as a team, because there is no way players can be leaving one after the other..first it was Messi, now Neymar and next up Mbappe...

And with Neymar leaving PSG, I see nothing that will keep Mbappe here as the atmosphere seems acidic and it's best for the club to rebuild a new attack force for them

Previously, Manchester United had reached a fee agreement with West Ham for the transfer of Harry Maguire. However, it seems that the transfer failed to start today because the player never made his decision to leave Manchester United. It looks like West Ham are annoyed enough with the wait they are putting in for Harry Maguire's transfer that they prefer to call it off. On the other hand, Manchester United seems to have no other choice but to allow Harry Maguire to stay at Manchester United. This also proves that Harry Maguire is very loyal to the red devils and he prefers to focus on improving his performance.

According to Fabrizio when the news about the transfer broke out, he said Manchester United and Westham have agreed a fee of €30 for the transfer of Harry Maguire, it is left for the player and Westham to agree on personal terms. There's two versions of story as to why he hasn't moved yet, before the latest development of the failed transfer which I'm hoping to be a lie. I heard Manchester United wants to buy a center back first before allowing Maguire to leave and there's another version that Maguire wants United to pay him £15M before he could leave the club. If the later happens to be true then he will spoil United plans in recruiting a center back this summer because they were hoping to use the money from his sales to bring in another replacement.

The Mitrovic-Neymar Jr duo makes a huge impact in the forward zone. I think they will be ahead in the champions league by bringing them to the team. Neymar is an important player and let's see if Mitrovic can be transferred. I would like to watch Neymar without injury for a season. Besides, SPL is now a very different league. We see great teams. The league leveled up in a year.

Neymar is set to move to the Saudi league, agreements are in place and medical scheduled. It doesn’t come as a surprise because a lot of big names have already moved to join the “money machine”. Seeing the kind of benefits that comes with a deal from Saudi, it will be really difficult to turn down such a juicy deal honestly. Which league in the world pays players for taking pictures that promote the club?? Their deals are mind blowing.

Al Hilal is still successful, the team tried hard to sign the big stars of Europe but the first two they offered huge sums of money did not get them in the end but finally Al Hilal succeeded in signing Neymar. Saudi club Al Hilal completed the deal with Neymar in exchange for 160 million euros. First, Cristiano Ronaldo in Al-Nassr, then Karim Benzema in Al-Ittihad and lastly Neymar Jr. in Al Hilal, that is, Saudi Arabia looks like a European league. Al-Nassr, Al-Ittihad, Al Hilal, these three clubs of the Saudi League are now far ahead of other teams with big star teams. Al Hilal are very excited to sign Neymar to their club and they will respect Neymar a lot which Neymar did not get from PSG.  

Millions of Neymar fans want Neymar to return to his best form for Al Hilal and prepare for the next World Cup from Al Hilal.

Does anyone think that it is a coincidence that these superstars all join different teams in the Saudi Professional League? Ronaldo, Benzema and Neymar are now the biggest names in SPL soccer and I believe that is done on purpose to have more games when these superstars play against each other. It is then not Al-Nassr vs. Al-Ittihad, but Ronaldo vs. Benzema and globally that sells much better as a product to a potential audience. I wonder if the next big star will again join a different club.

This is a logical thought, of course. I think it would be more interesting if they played against each other instead of playing on the same team. Also, it should not be forgotten that large salaries can cause big problems. That's why teams usually keep 1 player at a level that can give a big salary. The latest example was Neymar. We will watch together what happens next season.

The Saudi league has grown so much overnight only because of the competition and huge amount of money. We came to know about the club in Saudi Arabia when Cristiano Ronaldo moved to Saudi Arabia. Even after Ronaldo's departure, we never thought that the Saudi League could change the football market so much, but in the end, what we did not expect happened. When Cristiano Ronaldo joined a club in Saudi Arabia, another club thought that if a big star could not be brought from Europe, it would not be possible to cope with Ronaldo. Later, Neymar arrived in Saudi Arabia with Karim Benzema. Because of the huge amount of money available to the clubs, any big star from Europe can come to Saudi Arabia later.

Yes it is like a small avalanche for now. I would still call it a small avalanche because most of the players have been about to retire and it's ok if they go elsewhere and take a big bag of money before they say goodbye to their soccer fans around the world. But things would change again when they transfer a dozen players in their mid 20s and who are all high quality players.

But the reality is that it is all about the money here and it wouldn't matter if this is Saudi Arabia, South Africa or Australia, if anyone opened their wallet and would let billions flow into transfers and player salaries, the players would go anywhere.

It has once more caught my attention that this guy Fabrizio Romano has all this first hand information, if that is true. His name is all over the place and I asked myself whether he is right all the time with what he publishes. I know that most of the stuff he says also becomes true, but has anyone ever checked whether he has also been significantly wrong in the past? I never did that and I understand when he reports about clubs that he is close to, but to me it seems that he is close to literally every club. We can only verify after the fact and when I find the time I will have a look into that, but this guy is reporting so many transfer news on a daily basis that it is hard to track whether he is accurate like close to 100% of the time.

News about David De Gea being eyed by Bayern Munich.

Munich's consideration for De Gea but it is windowed by the salary he wants, I don't know how much De Gea demands Munich for a salary that Munich clearly doesn't want a bigger salary for him.
Arab clubs also want him but Munich want a decision this week, is De Gea's chance at Munich greater or going to Arabia?

Sevilla goalkeeper Bounou is on Munich's list, as Sevilla want 20M Munich say that is expensive, so there may be more negotiations, between the two of them.

De Gea is a good player but I am surprised that he has nkt been signed by a big club since he moved on
He lacks some qualities which has made him totally different ans difficult firckubs to sign him.
He should have at least moved to Arabs when they wanted him . Munich is a big club so they need nothing other than getting the place player. Sevilla Bonu has done well but he deserves another big clubs.

I feel the same way as you about De Gea, man. It's weird that he still hasn't signed with a big team. He is a very important goalkeeper and his quality is still there. Of course, I'm sure there are many teams that want him. One of them is Fenerbahçe in the Turkish league. We have a goalkeeper problem and I would be delighted if De Gea was one of the options for the goalkeeper. Undoubtedly one of the best goalkeepers in the world.

[snipie]

this is not only about the top European players but about the existence of the club

True. The Saudi teams are competing themselves to stay in the first places in all competitions obviously but also they have larger goals to achieve.
First they did indirectly heavy advertisement to their league, attracting the attention of everyone and surely more viewers, more TV ads, more shirts to sell, more copyrights to sell, so they are spending funds but also collecting crazy money.
Second, Saudi Arabia want to host World Cup and having a good league + a bunch of international and famous players to support it, will make their candidature stronger.
Neymar is one of the last players to confirm joining Al-Hilal, but surely others will follow in order to make the ambition of officials in Saudi Arabia true.

We know Real Madrid was waiting to see if Mbappe is a free player and joins their team in this summer because they said they will just hire this player from PSG if he was out of PSG, otherwise, they will say congregation to Mbappe for staying in PSG and now after Mbappe decided to stay in PSG, we know Real Madrid should be unhappy but they didn't show any reaction to Mbappe and the recent news about his player training with the team.
It's the second-time Mbappe disappointed Real Madrid in the last minutes.

This is not another disappoint from Mbappe to Real Madrid. Why didn't Real Madrid go straight to him if they genuinely needed him instead of waiting for his contract to expire so they could have him for free? You want to have a player like Mbappe for free? That is completely impossible. I remember last season when Mbappe stated that he would not leave the club during the current transfer window, and he has just shown it by not willing to leave the club now. If he had left the club, it would have been a betrayal to PSG, rather than staying and labelling it a betrayal to Real Madrid, which it is not. Mbappe has had a lot of advantages at PSG, he can’t just leave them like that without them earning a penny for his transfer.

Actually Al Hillal without Neymar and Mitrović they can still be a strong club. But because of encouragement and competition from other clubs to recruit top European players, Al Hillal did not want to lose his prestige as one of the big clubs in Arabia. No wonder because Arab clubs want to show their unlimited finances. Once again that this is not only about the top European players but about the existence of the club itself.

Arab clubs began to compete completely among themselves. This domestic competition deeply affects the football market. 300 million dollars is a really big amount of money in two years. Made a good team for the competition. I can say that the staff with Neymar and Savic was amazing. There will be good competition with Al-Nassr. To me, Al-Hilal looks stronger as a squad right now. They have become very solid with the transfer of Neymar and Savic. The matches were played in the first week in the league, I think there will be more interest in the Arabian league this year. How much it will be adopted is a matter of curiosity for me.

Real Madrid appear to be waiting for Mbappe on a free next season as they are believed to have found an agreement behind the scenes over talks over their future. On the other hand, it is also true that Real Madrid was quite cold and did not take advantage of this opportunity to make an offer to PSG. Mbappe, who finally chose to make peace after his dispute with PSG in this transfer window, made it seem as if his transfer situation was starting to disappear in this transfer market.

The re-joining of Mbappe to the main squad indicates that Mbappe has found his comfort again with the PSG team. So there is a good chance that if he changes his mind he will receive a contract extension with PSG. Will Real Madrid return to reap disappointment, we'll see.

Mbappe can change his decision even though we don't know exactly what he agreed with Nasser Al-Khelaifi as PSG's current owner. Nasser Al-Khelaifi really wants Kylian Mbappe to stay long at PSG, but he could also sell him if it's a last resort.

It's true, I heard that Kylian Mbappe has returned to the team and is training like any other player. PSG needed him to increase the chances of winning compared to the first match with 0 goals against Lorient, but now things are starting to cool. Then from that, PSG also has a new winger who can play well with Mbappe. Dembele is the player I mean, so we're bound to see something different throughout the season. Regarding the possibility of his move to Real Madrid, well, we'll see after this season is over.

Real Madrid hopes are still wide open to get Mbappe for free next season. However, if Mbappe changes his mind then Real Madrid will not succeed in bringing Mbappe to the Bernabeu stadium. Apart from that, Luis Enrique will give Mbappe special treatment because they will gradually convince him to persuade Mbappe to last longer with PSG.

So, in recent days, PSG have lost their star again because Neymar will join Al Hilal. However the departure of Neymar will surely be another replacement as Dembele is the signing made to fill that gap. I think Psg will be more aggressive in their second game this week. I think Dembele will make his debut alongside Mbappe in the second match against Toulouse.

We have a goalkeeper problem and I would be delighted if De Gea was one of the options for the goalkeeper. Undoubtedly one of the best goalkeepers in the world.

There are some clubs rumored to try signing De Gea. The latest rumor I heard, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are considering to sign him. Sure, De Gea is still one of top Goalkeepers in the world. Although he couldn't perform very well in Man United in the latest few years, it was because Man United has bad defenders. So, I agree if you assumed De Gea still has top quality of a Goalkeeper. If he played in a top club that has better defenders, I believe he can perform in his best shape anymore.

I think De Gea still prefers to play in top European leagues. He is also rumored to get an offer from Saudi club, but he seems to refuse it. De Ge is still 32 years old, it is not a too old age for a Goalkeeper. Some top Goalkeepers can play until 40 years old if there is no problems on the fitness/injury. So, De Gea actually still has a long career.

[Velvet78]

Chelsea are said to be close to agreeing a deal with Romeo Lavia. I wasn't expecting to see them going for him as well after signing Caicedo by spending a lot of money like 115 million pounds. I don't know whether they need another defensive midfielder right now. Because they already have many options in this position.

I would like to see Lavia going to Liverpool instead honestly. Because if he also joins Chelsea I have big doubts that he would have so many chances in the starting eleven while there are too many alternatives. But if he goes to Liverpool his chance will be much higher.

[Bananington]

Which league in the world pays players for taking pictures that promote the club?? Their deals are mind blowing.

And there is no tax yet for these players, makes everything even more attractive. Even Mo' Salah from Chelsea is now tempted.

Since Kevin De Bruyne is now confirmed to be out for more than a month, Manchester City will make sure that they are able to sign Lucas Paqueta from West Ham. Manchester City also have interest in Jeremy Doku from  Rennes' in Ligue 1.
Man City close in on Paqueta and Doku transfers

I believe Manchester City usually gets any player that they want, so it is time, and these deals will be completed.

He should have at least moved to Arabs when they wanted him . Munich is a big club so they need nothing other than getting the place player.  

For David De Gea; i think the biggest problem is that his wages are on the high side; he earned a little over 350k weekly as reported at Manchester United; so unless he is ready to take a wage cut i do not think any clubside in Europe will be willing to sign him. Also, i think another hindrance for De Gea is his mental state at the moment; the treatment from Manchester United to the elite goalkeeper is something he perhaps has not forgotten yet.

For me personally; i hope he finds a clubside he can join to lay under little pressure.

We have a goalkeeper problem and I would be delighted if De Gea was one of the options for the goalkeeper. Undoubtedly one of the best goalkeepers in the world.

The only way De Gea is still without any club is because he hasn’t push towards getting a new one too hard. He still feels that there are days left in the transfer window and many top clubs could come after his signature and that is somewhat why he is staying out for now. Another thing is Any club wanting to sign De Gea will have to make accommodation for him to be first choice rather than second choice option he is been offered by most clubs. Before the season transfer end De Gea might have gotten a new club or just go to either Saudi club or MLS

Mbappe has had a lot of advantages at PSG, he can’t just leave them like that without them earning a penny for his transfer.

I don’t think you guys actually understand this whole circus, Madrid aren’t ready to move to Mbappe this summer because of FFP after signing players like Bellingham with huge money. They want to sign Mbappe for free next season. So Mbappe returning to training doesn’t change anything, in fact it favours Madrid than PSG. Mbappe has already stated that he will not sign a contract extension again and will stay at PSG till next summer just to receive his bonus for seeing out his contract and once he receives this he leaves again to Madrid for free which actually makes PSG to lose him for free and had to still pay for the bonus. This was exactly why PSG wanted his sale this season and even banned him from training thinking it would affect his decision making. But No he is leaving for free next y

[arallmuus]

so unless he is ready to take a wage cut i do not think any clubside in Europe will be willing to sign him.

There are only two viable options left for him which is to take a deep pay cut or getting nothing for the next season. Obviously the former option seems to be a way better option and he gets to play instead of wasting his whole year in vacation which could lead up to early retirement

I believe Manchester City usually gets any player that they want, so it is time, and these deals will be completed.

They do but its a matter of wether the new players will work out in the favour of the whole team or not. Im actually feel bad for De Bruyne though, I mean he has what it takes to lead the whole City squad to win most of their game and now he is out of the equation for months just after their first game
