⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[CryptopreneurBrainboss]

Pochettino when compared to Potter is clearly much different, Pochettino has better experience than Potter in coaching big teams with top players in them.
From when Chelsea was coached by Pochettino to when he was coached by Potter, we can assess his progress which was quite good while he was with Pochettino, even not yet though with Chelsea for a long time but all his hard work was very clear.

Pochettino is a better manager than Graham Potter, the season is just starting so we can't judge his ability with just two games played, obviously we should not expect everything to start moving smoothly immediately he took over office. We'll have games that we'll lose and we'll win some but provided we're not losing every game then we have improved from how we were under graham potter. With time the boys will understand what Pochettino is asking of them, we just got new signings and they'll need some time to get used to the new system and coach. It'll be disgraceful if after spending this amount of money that we have in the transfer window, we don't get anything from this season, that'll be very disappointing.

Hudson-Odoi rumours are ready for sale for Chelsea. He did not feature Chelsea at this player opening. Even last season Hudson-Odoi was on loan at Bayer Leverkusen. Chelsea offered the 22-year-old. At the moment Fulham and Everton seem interested in him. But the latest news Turkish giants Fenerbahce are interested in him. Chelsea are offering £120k a week worth of mainstay players.  

Hudson odoi situation is the reason I don't opposed Chelsea selling any youngster that's currently at the club and been valued very high. I remember when Bayern Munich was coming after him that if we sold him then we would had made big money from his transfer fee but we decided to keep him and now we're regretting. It's better we sell and regret when they become superstar but we made money from selling them then when we keep them but they become worthless. Hudson odoi was a star but everything changed after his injury, he became a shadow of himself as he couldn't reach his peak again and this made him to fall out of favours from coaches that have coached Chelsea football club.

barcelona managed to get joao cancelled, this will make the team stronger, i think barcelona is preparing to perform well in the european champions league, they know that in the european champions league they go every game or phase earning money so they get far in the European champions league is something very good for their finances and if they manage to have a strong team for the next 3 years that they don't need to make big signings anymore then it would be the next 3 years to start getting more money without being a lot of money coming out, probably this is barcelona's intention or plan

in the last few hours I read news of players who denied going to the saudi arabia league, it seems that the money offered by the arabs was not very high to the point of pleasing these players, and it is strange that the arabs have stopped making big offers or else the Arabs just made big offers of money for players who are very famous and have a lot of followers on instagram, so the purpose of the Arabs is something big, they are more concerned with publicizing their country, and in this case they are using soccer, whatever for we will see how far the saudi arabia league will do with all these players who went there, I read that Rodrigo de Paul will not go to saudi arabia

I don't really see why Mancity have decided to sell Cancelo because when I watched the player's highlights,I saw how versatile he is and he will be able to fit into any side comfortably without stress.This was a player I thought any of the premier league teams will sign, especially Chelsea because there are a lot of young boys at the team right now,and they need some level of experience among them,someone that can bring that winning mentality into the squad,just as Gabriel Jesus and Zinchenko did.There is no doubt about the level of mentality that the both players brought to the Arsenal team,and how they elevated Arsenal and turned them into a tittle contending club,instead of a club that would be be fighting for European competition.Nevertheless,congratulations to Barcelona who has acquired Joe's signature.

I am aware that Manchester City have agreed and sealed in a €60 million deal with Rennes for Jeremy Doku this week, medicals now scheduled and booked for Wednesday. The supporters of Manchester City are thrilled about this news. Manchester City have been involved in several deals this summer and many did not pull through, this is a good one and one to be excited about.

The reason why it seems City go into negotiations with clubs and don't come out successful sometimes is because of their strict policy of not overpaying for players, they must ensure that the player is worth the selling club's valuation before they agree to the deal and make payments. We've seen City walk away from numerous deals in the last couple of years because the selling clubs were asking for too much money.

Having said that, Jeremy Doku is a new City player, i don't know too much about this player, but i read he is a very impressive winger, thus City will be very happy to have him. This signing is their third of the summer, but i think they still need at least one more midfielder, talks between City and West Ham for Paqueta already broke down, thus they have to look elsewhere if they are to sign a midfielder before the window closes.

Hugo Lloris has entered the last year of his contract now. There have been many rumours so far like he will leave the team this summer. But he is still at Tottenham while there isn't much time left for the end of the transfer window. There was news like he was going to go back to where he started which is Nice. However it didn't happen. Now Lazio are another team being interested in him.

Tottenham have been looking for a goalkeeper as well depending on Lloris leaves soon as far as I know. As his worth in the market is nothing now Tottenham would like to have his last season with themselves and then release him I guess. It depends on how serious Lazio are in this interest on one hand as well of course.

Tottenham already have some GKs, they even just signed Guglielmo Vicario from Empoli. With many options for GK, I believe Hugo Lloris will leave Tottenham on June 2024. He has no reason to extend his contract with Tottenham, he already spent a long time with Tottenham and now he should get a new challenge before retiring. The rumor where he will move, isn't very clear. Sure, if he decided to go back to his country, he can join Nice or Lyon. However, I don't hear any serious offer from these clubs.

Not sure if Lazio really wants to sign him. Lazio must look for a younger GK if they expect for a main GK in their squad. They also still 3 GKs, so they are actually not in urgent for a new GK. I doubt Hugo Lloris will move to Lazio.

I'm not completely sure but as I can see Tottenham's situation is even getting worst than last season and they are losing more players because we knew Kane was an important player, they lost him and never bought a player to fill his place and now when Hugo Lloris is getting near to end his contract with Tottenham they are not considering any option to buy a goalkeeper for the next season.

It's so strange why doesn't chelsea sell him when his price was around 70 millions instead of sell him now with 8m price. There's no club has been showing his interest to buy him too. It's very disappointed result from chelsea.
The club shall have sold a young player as long as he already priced so high. I can imagine if chelsea was selling him when he was worth 70 millions.
Hudson odoi was rarely playing for chelsea. It's not giving a lot of benefit to the club. he shall be sold as soon as possible no matter what price will be gotten by chelsea. Another mistake by chelsea.
This guy never showed good performance. He is far from chelsea's speculation to have a big potential as a young talented player.

It is obvious that Tottenham bet on Guglielmo Vicario and it is not a fact that Hugo Lloris can even be the second goalkeeper of the team if he still stays. As far as I understand, negotiations with Lazio were unsuccessful, because they did not guarantee him the post of the main goalkeeper of the team, which indicates his level of ambition, so I still think that Lloris will make every effort to change the club, if not now, then in the next transfer window, and not wait for next summer and the end of the contract.

Al Ahli is not trying to hire Marco Verratti from PSG anymore and it seems even with the huge money they wanted to pay, their offer was not enough for Marco Verratti to make his agent move and the case seems closed between PSG and Al Ahli about this player.
Now there are two other teams Galatasaray and Manchester United who both want to hire Verratti.

I think that Lloris potentially to be sold for lazio. Lazio is still trying to get Lloris from totenham. The negotiation already stopped for a while but it's continued now. Totenham never had an interest in extending his contract. The club is now focusing on finding a suitable replacement for kane.
Gift orban already listed as a potential replacement for kane. Totenham needs to complete so many tasks before it will be thought about finding a new goal keeper to replace Lloris. Lazio is trying even harder to approach him right now.
The negotiation is still ongoing at this moment. I expect Lloris to leave from the club rather than joining in the totenham. It's likely the chance for him to stay in totenham is quite small.
Totenham needs to think about the regeneration of its goal keeper.

Hugo Lloris is still undergoing medical treatment following the injury he suffered last season and he is currently unable to make a contribution to Tottenham. Postecoglou has also considered who will be the main goalkeeper for his team this season, if you see Guglielmo Vicario's excellent performance against Manchester United and during pre-season, it is not impossible that he will be the main goalkeeper for Tottenham this season. Hugo Lloris actually has good ability under the crossbar, but before he suffered an injury last season he often made blunders.

Entering his contract which is almost ending, the option to release him to another team is the best because it will not make Tottenham suffer a loss from his sale. Lazio is one of the most interested in him at the moment, but if the offer made by Tottenham is too big then it is feared Lazio will not be able to buy Hugo Lloris.

I don't really see why Mancity have decided to sell Cancelo because when I watched the player's highlights,I saw how versatile he is and he will be able to fit into any side comfortably without stress.This was a player I thought any of the premier league teams will sign, especially Chelsea because there are a lot of young boys at the team right now,and they need some level of experience among them,someone that can bring that winning mentality into the squad,just as Gabriel Jesus and Zinchenko did.There is no doubt about the level of mentality that the both players brought to the Arsenal team,and how they elevated Arsenal and turned them into a tittle contending club,instead of a club that would be be fighting for European competition.Nevertheless,congratulations to Barcelona who has acquired Joe's signature.

Fact Manchester City loan João Cancelo to Bayern Munich last season and he not get regular or back to Manchester City squad after his name not in the list in last two games. Current rumor, João Cancelo will loan again to La Liga team Barcelona and buy clause option for next season after one year from loaning. Actually, João Cancelo have impressive performance with Manchester City and always get regular position but he got problem with Pep Guardiola and loss as regular position before loaning to Bayern Munich last season.

I doubt with Barcelona has enough money for getting loan João Cancelo, with buy clause option as permanent seems very difficult due Barcelona still has debt with Manchester City from Ferran Torres transfer fees.

It's really crazy if Lazio want to sign Lloris when he's already 36 years and old and his performance was bad in the last season, he also retired from France national team. I think the current Lazio's goalkeeper is better than him. If Lloris still want to continue his career, he either join Ligue 2 or Saudi Professional League.

I check Gift Orban is just playing in Belgium league, not a popular league, it's really risky to use him to play in the most competitive league.

Manchester City have best players, for one to suit in, you have to develop good abilities that will contributes to the team's growth. Pep Guardiola already have what he needs this season, loaning Joao Cancelo to Bayern Munich last season, was one of the unwise decisions he made but he doesn't look bother and planning to loan him again but this time with buy out clause. Joao Cancelo is a prominent player, the challenge is clear, Pep Guardiola doesn't want to use him for league games for reasons best known to him. That's entirely killing the players ambition gradually, I would urged the Portugal international to indulge in possible links to exits Etihad Stadium this summer.

Im feeling so badly seeing how the fate of romelu lukaku. Pochettino was abandoning him and lukaku was already advised to train with U21 team. It's really crazy about how he has lost everything in a matter of weeks.
The good news if roma was coming for him at the last minute. It has been reported by https://romapress.net/roma-to-attempt-last-minute-deal-for-romelu-lukaku/

Roma are reportedly eyeing out-of-favor Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku.

The capital club are still looking to secure an additional attacker for Jose Mourinho’s roster and are hoping to make a big signing in the final days of the summer transfer window.

One of the more recent names to have been linked with the Giallorossi is that of former Inter forward Romelu Lukaku who is on his out of Stamford Bridge.

I think that chelsea shall let him go no matter how much price offered by as roma. Lukaku has no demand. Roma is the only chance for chelsea in selling him after chelsea rejected an offer from juventus to exchange him with vlahovic.
The fate of lukaku will be also determined by himself. Lukaku shall try to tell chelsea to sell him for as roma. Roma will not be coming with huge offer but at least it is still worth something rather than getting nothing. Chelsea shall consider roma's offer.

It's not yet clear how much money offered by roma for him but im sure this will not be so high as roma is still in financial trouble.

Now there are two other teams Galatasaray and Manchester United who both want to hire Verratti.

Maybe Roberto Mancini and Marco Verratti will be reunited soon. Both can play in Saudi Arabia and earn a lot of money, none has signed yet. But in Al-Nassr and Ronaldo there are news. Otavio comes from FC Porto in Portugal to Saudi Arabia. Ronaldo and he know each other from the nationalteam. And noow another Portuguese in the team, because the coach Luis Castro also comes from Portugal. But so far Al-Hilal has spent the most moneyfor new players, over 350 million euros.

This is very sad indeed, I see that Romelu Lukaku's performance in a Premier League team is not as good as when he played with Inter Milan in Serie A and indeed now rumors are circulating that Roma are approaching him and I think that will materialize, it is impossible for a player of Lukaku's class to be treated with embarrassment told to train with the U21 team.
And even personally I still want to see him in Serie A like 2 seasons ago when he contributed a lot when Inter Milan won the Scudetto.
Maybe he will be able to do the same for AS Roma, so I really support this Roma plan, it's good for the team I think.

It seems like that endo has not become the final target by liverpool. Liverpool is still looking for a new midfielder. I do know that if liverpool needs to strengthen its mid as soon as possible. There was a new that ESPN has published regarding liverpool's bid to the andre which is playing for fluminense now. We are coming to the end of summer transfer season and fluminense is feeling reluctant to let him go out from the club. Fluminense was feeling doubt caused by it will be so hard to get his replacement in a short time.

Liverpool have had a €30 million ($32.5m) offer for Fluminense midfielder André rejected by the Brazilian club, sources have confirmed to ESPN Brasil. The Merseyside club want André to join them before the transfer window closes on Sept. 1 but Fluminense are reluctant to let the Brazil international leave before the end of their season.

https://www.espn.co.uk/football/story/_/id/38240549/liverpool-bid-brazil-andre-rejected-fluminense
Liverpool may need to increase its bid. Andre already priced so high by liverpool and i think he is also very interesting in joining liverpool as a new midfielder. Liverpool really needs him at this moment.
Liverpool needs to increase its offer for him. I think that fluminense gonna be easily let him go out and join liverpool as soon as possible.

It looks like Veratti's transfer can be forgotten as he significantly increased the financial requirements, this angered Al-Hilal and they stopped further negotiations. Perhaps Veratti thought he deserved it in Saudi Arabia, but the club's management is of a different opinion. I don’t know who is right in this situation and who is not, Saudi Arabia is not a very attractive country for football players, and they want to compensate this with big money, but apparently not everyone is ready to pay big money.

Maybe he will be able to do the same for AS Roma, so I really support this Roma plan, it's good for the team I think.

Romelu Lukaku seems to be the target of several big clubs in Serie A, because actually Inter Milan still really wants the Belgian player but his attitude which is reportedly negotiating with Juventus has caused dislike on the part of Inter Milan, and after that it was also reported that AC Milan was also interested in him so AS Roma is the most recent club reportedly interested in a player who is no longer young.
It's quite strange to see Chelsea's attitude that they weren't interested in using Lukaku's services but kept this player at a high enough price so that his new contract at Inter Milan was not realized, including negotiations with Juventus which eventually reached an impasse.
If AS Roma are really interested in him, then how much money will they be prepared to buy Lukaku, of course it has to be bigger than what Inter Milan has ever offered to Chelsea.

Al Hilal have managed to land some great players lately and it's only natural that Marco Verratti is no longer on their list.
But this might be a financial problem for PSG because it can have a detrimental impact even though it's not too pronounced.
Now Marco Verratti must really be able to make his choice because he has reached 30 years old and is just waiting for a few more seasons to become the right time for him to retire from a career as a football player.
Maybe Manchester United is a good option for Marco Verratti and Manchester United also has a big chance of competing to win the League under Ten Hag.

[rozak]

Maybe Manchester United is a good option for Marco Verratti and Manchester United also has a big chance of competing to win the League under Ten Hag.

Marco Verratti actually also received an offer from Munich. if the offer from Man United isn't good enough, I think Munich will also be a good club for him.
he definitely understands how to compete with his age that is not young anymore. and he must immediately determine his fate to move to which club might be his last club before retiring from his professional career.
if he really wants to move to an Arab club, I don't think that's a bad thing for him either. but there are still European clubs interested in him, it's better to stay at European clubs.
