⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[GxSTxV]

Wellmost of them had no options left but honestly I still will say Saudi league is far from PL or LaLiga in terms of competitiveness. Saudi league wants the spotlight which they are doing by signing some big names but question is can they really come at the level of PL or LaLiga or Bundesliga in future? I hardly think so. Anyway it is good for players to rake in all the big offers and make huge money before they set off for retirement as of now.

Indeed! it's a big challenge for Saudi Arabia to create the same high level of play we have seen in the UCL over the past years. European leagues differ significantly from other Leagues and also not really followed by much fans. Saudi Arabia doesn’t have football academies to create young talents, which is why they mainly focusing on recruiting players from different nationalities. Their strategy now is attracting known players, like Ronaldo and Benzema, So they can create a bit of competition and boost the popularity of teams like Al-Nasr and Al-Ittihad, As we have seen how their social media pages grew in a very short time just after these players signed.
The key is to build quality football academies that will produce talented young players which gonna represent that country and not only in Local champions but even in National ones. That’s why we only see the same countries in the World Cup.

That's right, if you look at the leagues in Europe all clubs are required to have an Academy squad. They will be able to take advantage of potential players from the results of their own development, like Barcelona has La Masia. It won't give instant results, but steps do aim for the long term.

SPL will develop gradually, I think this is just the beginning of their efforts. in the future, even though it will not be on the same level as the league competitions in Europe, they will approach a similar game. The league will be competitive and the competition to recruit players will be even tougher, it doesn't stop there even great coaches can become their future targets.

It seems bayern has closed its door for him. Tuchel doesn't like him. The management can do nothing about that. Tuchel was determining which goal keeper that suit to the club.
It's hard to accept reality but de gea already rejected by ancelotti and tuchel.

It is really unbelievable. How can't Tuchel and Ancelotti both be interested in David de Gea? I mean I don't think his performance has been bad in the recent times. He has still been doing really well. I can't even remember how many times he made a serious impact on Manchester United's matches.

But now he is just a goalkeeper who isn't wanted by any big team. Real Madrid just went for Kepa instead and Bayern Munich are said to be looking for a completely different name.

I won't be surprised if de Gea ends up with a Saudi Arabian team.

[Stepstowealth]

But if we talk for the next 2-3 seasons then I will have more confidence in the Chelsea squad as you said they implement long term investment or is heading for a golden era, while other teams like Manchester City will soon end the golden era we have seen that this season several important players have moved on and are going to retire meaning they have to repeat the regeneration like what Chelsea is doing right now.

There was a time when Arsenal was heavily criticized for what Chelsea is doing right now. Arsenal have always loved to buy young players for long term purpose. That is what Chelsea is doing right now. They have invested so much in young players and are still actively in the market to sign more young players because they understand the need to have quality players both on the pitch and the ones for substitute like Manchester City. Chelsea have also joined in a move to try to sign Folarin Balogun from Arsenal. I do not think he will accept Chelsea though because he wants playing time and Chelsea cannot give him that.

That's right, we can see how De Gea performed as Manchester United goalkeeper for 12 years, as you said he had a very significant positive impact on the progress of the team with some extraordinary saves there. Now De Gea is still without a club, Real Madrid have agreed a deal with Chelsea for Kepa and Kepa has joined there, and what is a very interesting discussion now is the current condition of Bayern Munich. We can see that they have succeeded in the Kane deal from Tottenham, for the front line maybe it is safe, and the problem now is that they desperately need a goalkeeper because Neuer certainly still needs a lot of time to rest until he fully recovers from his injury. For now I think De Gea is the best option that Tuchel can choose, I'm sure he will be a great goalkeeper there, he will help Bayern Munich in every competition in the Bundesliga and Champions League, to be honest I really believe in him. So the point is I really hope Bayern Munich can take advantage of this open opportunity to get De Gea, instead of them being busy with their radar which is rumored to want to get Son, they still have a good winger.

Is there really an update on this because the last I read on Mbappe's news was where he agreed to renew his contract for one season but with a note that he might be sold next season and that was the last time I read an update on Mbappe's news.
There is too much speculation and news about Mbappe which makes us dizzy in the end for what Mbappe's future is like so in this case I think we still have to wait about the official decision made by PSG management and Mbappe but unfortunately they seem to be comfortable in the news and exposure that makes this confusing.

I think the rumors of tension between Mbappe and Neymar are true, because if Mbappe stays and signs a new contract extension then that could become a fact. Neymar has officially joined the SPL with Al Hilal, and the news that the French striker is staying and extending his contract has been widely publicized after Neymar departure. I think this is very related, but there is no definite source about this.

On the other hand, Madrid will bite their fingers again if they are not successful in recruiting Mbappe, and reportedly Madrid has given an ultimatum not to recruit him if he signs a new contract extension with PSG.

are you confused with this drama? yes me too.
from last season break until now how many months have we discussed about Mbappe which has no clarity even rumors keep changing uncertain news but from the start I had a little thought that Mbappe transfer would never happen in the summer unless Mbappe extended the contract after that next season PSG will throw at a high price and it seems that Real Madrid has no interest in signing him for the following season.
of course, Madrid is a little disappointed that they failed to get this player this summer, even though Madrid seemed to really hope that after Benzema departure, Mbappe could be replaced and I also think whether PSG treatment of Mbappe is just a subtle rejection of Real Madrid.

When talking about Mbappe, PSG, and Real Madrid, it will become an endless drama. Even though the relationship between Mbappe and PSG had heated up, it seems that PSG have begun to soften because they still need Mbappe and they still have hope to extend Mbappe's contract.

If this were to happen, then Real Madrid would be disappointed for the second time because they have high hopes that Mbappe will join them next season as a free agent. I think Real Madrid will have to move fast if they want to sign Mbappe because it's possible that Mbappe will change his mind once again.

Varane is said to be on the radar of a Saudi team now. This must be worrying news for Manchester United because Varane is currently one of the most important members of their defense line. They can't just sell him and go on without bringing a replacement for him. Because I don't think there is anyone else in the team who can do as good as Varane beside Martinez in the centre-back position.

Manchester United wouldn't be keen on letting him go. They will hope for Varane not to desire that team and become unhappy. I assume the contract offer would be enormous.

Real Madrid didn't act quickly with Mbappe. They waited since the beginning of the transfer season. PSG has done a lot with Mbappe. He will most likely stay in the team now. Real Madrid want to sign Mbappe for free next year, but they might regret not signing such a player when they had the chance.

Mbappe was very indecisive in making his decision. I think Mbappe was wrong about that. PSG want Mbappe to stay in the team as he is still under contract. They don't make harsh statements like they used to.

[JeffBrad12]

IMO, he is a good backup for sanchez. I saw that his potential is very big. He was also playing as serbian national team goal keeper as well. I saw that if he is still young and he has a lot of room to grow. Chelsea needs a new goal keep as a backup for sanchez.
Chelsea will able to get him with cheap price and it's good. Chelsea needs to add more goal keeper as there was only sanchez as the remaining goal keeper in the club. I saw that his performance was always impressive.
He was very responsive as a goal keeper. It's a good add for chelsea. My guess that if his process will be completed soon. Chelsea is putting him as main target right now.

I also heard about this rumor and it surprised me quite a bit by the news that Varane was linked with the saudi league. I think this is just a media trick to continue to enliven the big transfers of European players carried out by the Saudi league. We know that there is no doubt for Varane to remain at Manchester United, especially since joining in the 21/22 season until now he feels that he still has not achieved the title he wants with Manchester United. Raphael Varane has won 4 Champions League trophies with Real Madrid and his goal in joining Manchester United is of course to bring this club back to winning ways and for now I think that in the future Varane will continue to try to survive until what he wants is achieved.

But despite all the success he had, he is just 30 years old and he could keep going for a long time as a defender as he is good at positioning himself very well during the game. Even when they already won dozens of trophies and had all this success in the Champions League, doesn't their heart also tell them to take it to the highest level possible in their sport? I know most of us would also follow the money, but I wonder if they are hesitating on their inside or whether they are quickly deciding it and go for the money instead.

It could be that the salary factor that De Gea wanted was too high, the club, either Munchen or Real Madrid, was reluctant to fulfill. In fact, it is reported that Man United really wants to extend the player's contract, but De Gea does not want to reduce the nominal salary in the new contract. There is no doubt about quality and experience, De Gea has a good reputation when he was at United

With the current situation, it is very likely that De Gea will join one of the SPL clubs. There he will get the amount of money he wants, they don't care about expenses, what matters now is the player's big name.

Seeing this problem about Mbappe and PSG seems endless, to be honest I don't believe Mbappe will go to Real Madrid, he has said no before and until now Mbappe is still staying at PSG. Previously he had an offer from a Saudi Arabian club with a very high price clause but he was not interested in that at all, to be honest I am very confused about what Mbappe really wants, he is still there and certainly will not extend his contract with PSG because he is still in his initial decision, and maybe he will leave as a free agent but I cannot predict where he will go next. Apart from that it will all go back to the initial speculation that the answer to Mbappe's future is time, we'll just wait where he will go when his contract ends with PSG.

Chances are that Mbappe may not be signing a renewed contract with PSG after his current contract expires because the striker is really keen to joining the Spanish side Real Madrid next season, both Mbappe and Madrid are just tryna be patient with PSG for this season to come to an end including his contract which will be a big financial advantage for real Madrid spending less compared to how much they would be spending if the Mbappe transfer had taken place this window.
Mbappe continuous stay at PSG can't give him the titles and competitiveness he's looking forward for just like Haaland is getting at Manchester City, and only in a club like Real Madrid can this be possible for Mbappe.

https://football-talk.co.uk/190359/chelsea-have-real-interest-in-signing-folarin-balogun/

But question is are Chelsea giving them chances as well. Arsenal gave chances from time to time but with Chelsea with the big squad they are having right now, it has become rather difficult for manager to manage as well. Regarding Balogun, I hope Arsenal does find some solution with him and perhaps try to keep him as much as possible but it would really hurt as Arsenal fan to see him move to our rival Chelsea. There is Monaco also interested in Balogun and there is a top Serie A club interested in him as well.

On the other hand, I read about their negotiations not going smoothly because Tuchel had doubts about De Gea's fitness and Bayern did not dare to promise to give De Gea a regular position when Neuer returned from injury.

This may also be one of the reasons why negotiations will be more difficult. But with this I am a little doubtful for Bayern if indeed they try to do without a goalkeeper again and only Ulreich is used as a foundation for the main goalkeeper. Even though for the striker position especially by looking at the first match yesterday it was very good but it would be risky to do without a goalkeeper option if the worst possibility Ulreich could not play.

Benjamin Pavard said Bayern Munich in the last weeks in the previous season that he doesn't want to stay in this team anymore and he wants to leave but Bayern Munich wanted to earn some profit from selling this player and they said they will accept the offers for this player he couldn't join Manchester United when they send him offer. Now Inter Milan wanted to hire Benjamin Pavard for this season but it seems Bayer Munich didn't accept their offer too.
Some people think Bayern Munich wants to keep this player and some other people think they will accept the offers with 30m or higher.

For sure Bayern Munich wants him to stay as they still needs his services in the club. It's rumoured that Bayern manager Nagelsmann had talks with the  player about his future in the club since he has one year left in his contract. But EPL clubs like Arsenal and Manchester United are said to be bidding for Pavard, and among this two I think arsenal are much in need of a player like him who can play as a centre-back and a right-back in the team  filling the space of Jurrien Timber who's on months injury. IMO, With a good offer Bayern won't hesitate to let go of Pavard.

Mbappe has already lost some of his golden years at PSG, but he is still young and he can turn things around. In addition, he already has an amount of money that is difficult to count, and in general he has everything except satisfying his ambitions. Mbappe looks much more focused on football than Neymar and I don't fear for his career in that sense.

I guess I would agree with everything you said but I would like to add one thing that I believe could come into play when you talk about the amount of money that Mbappe has.

The clubs from the SPL are entering new spheres all the time, which means that a player who says "ok, I now have 200 million in my account, I will decline any offer as I am rich enough and will only pursue my career". Then the sheikhs pass by and say "you got 200 million in your account, we'll make it a billion". So these offers are not about doubling the wealth, but they are about changing life once again even for people who couldn't supposedly have been any luckier in their lives. When he got a billion and the contract expires, the sheikh might say "I am going to turn your billion into 5 billion if you sign a life-long contract with us. No? What about 10 billion?".

It is so weird what they are doing financially that I would not be 100% certain that Mbappe would decline every offer that is catered to him.

Yes, the sheikhs bring some element of madness into football and it is almost impossible to predict (with reliable accuracy) what will happen. As the saying goes, if a person cannot be bought with money, then he can be bought with big money  
In general, the modern world is like this (rather strange) - you can work all your life and not earn anything, and someone who shoots a couple of successful tik-toks will fall into a trend and become a millionaire in a very short time. Therefore, the crazy money that football players receive now is more or less logical - after all, they give their whole lives to football (maybe except for Neymar, haha) and are not just lucky.

Since being brought in from Rome last season and playing for Galatasaray for just one season, Niccolo Zaniolo has attracted interest from one of the EPL teams, namely Aston Villa and the full extent of this agreement has been reached since today. However, this agreement is only in loan status with a purchase option at the end of 35 million euros.

It seems Galatasaray doesn't really mind this transfer and for Zaniolo when there is an offer to play in the most competitive league team it will definitely make him very happy. He can add experience and can also know how each team competes in other leagues. I think Zaniolo's arrival is really needed by Aston Villa, considering that coach Unai Emery has started to find the best performance from this team.
