⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[kamvreto]

Yeah, I’m not sure why they have decided to bring Werner in. I guess it’s on loan so essentially risk free.

Son is at the Asian Cup too so they will need somebody to step up in his absence. I am doubtful Werner will come close to replicating the influence Son has.

In Werner's video interview on the Tottenham YouTube channel, Werner is very optimistic about returning to the Premier League with Spurs, who is said to be a big club. He believes in this team with the greatness that Tottenham has, including the stadium problem.
Werner at RB Leipzig has not played much this season. Only 8 games and two starts.
I doubt Werner can emulate Son's influence at Spurs. Maybe Werner can prove it on loan, as he said in an interview, so that the Tottenham public will fall in love with him.

Complete imitation may not and will never happen, but Werner is trying to perform even better even if only as a player on loan. Timo Werner officially joined Tottenham Hotspur on January 9 2024 and will return to RB Leipzig on June 30 2024. Tottenham Hotspur coach, Ange Postecoglou, is a long-time admirer of the former Chelsea player. Tottenham Hotspur immediately borrowed Timo Werner considering that Manchester United also wanted him.

I think Barcelona should be careful with Joao Felix. Buying him looks dangerous given Barcelona's financial position and his lackluster performance. They have greater problems like debt, so focusing on a premium player like Felix may not be sensible. I think they should focus on defense rather than buying a questionable attacker. Jarrad Branthwaite is amazing. Its no wonder Manchester United and Real Madrid want him. Everton has a jewel, and if they play their cards well, they could profit from his sale. They have a good chance to recover financially.

Yeah I dont think that Barca will offer a permanent contract to Felix, Barca cant afford to buy any expensive player in this year due to the club financially struggles.
They might only buy young players/wonderkids with hope they able to become a star in the future.

Too many defenders with high wages at Barca now, Xavi will be happy if the club decides to offload 1 or 2 defenders and buy a good player on other position he needs.

I think Joao Felix is not a priority for Barca at the moment, because there are still several attacking options that Barca has.
Like Vitor Roque and Ferran Torres who can fill this position. Moreover, if Barca force themselves to sign Joao Felix, he will incur a very high new salary burden.
I think selling some players is also impossible because the current performance is still unstable. The most sensible option is to extend Joao Felix's loan if Barca really wants him.

[Docnaster]

Joao Felix is unavailable for purchase by Barcelona due to financial constraints. Barcelona would rather not purchase Joao Felix for that reason. Should they permit Joao Felix to return to Atletico Madrid, they will later regret it as they lack a player as skilled in that role as Joao Felix. I always watch Barcelona games, and every time Joao Felix enters the pitch, you can see that the game changes because he always moves the ball really well, allowing Barcelona to score goals. It's even better than before. At least Barcelona will know if they made the right decision or not if Joao Felix leaves.

In regards to Branthwaite, I think Real Madrid needs a defensive player badly. His play has drawn attention from both Real Madrid and Manchester United, which is good, but I don't think Real Madrid will sign him. As it stands, Real Madrid needs a defensive player badly, but they don't want to sign anyone because they think their injured defensive players will recover well. As a result, they didn't worry too much about any defensive players; instead, they concentrated on finding the player who would wear number nine, and I believe they are in the process of acquiring the player.

Felix has always been a good player, he's a loan player no doubt but he's performed more than he did with his original club. Barcelona has given him the type of tempo he needs to play with. They're a good and committed team and their players are coordinated. The coach himself is young and knows what he needs and builds his team to deliver rightly. It won't be bad to watch Felix stay to do more at Barcelona. Atletico didn't favor him as much as Barcelona has. He's now out of his shell and has built more confidence in himself as well.

 I personally don't think that after being watched to grow by Barcelona, then they'd let him off their camp. And I'm convinced that he also would want an extension with the Spanish side.
What kills a team is favoritism and it's one factor that should be worked on. Coaches should not involve favoritism as it may have an impact on the game outcomes and as well cause a whole lot of technical errors to occur and it may affect the players' conditions. They need to be encouraged and made to put in efforts to working in the team. It'll build their ball playing abilities and causes positivity in every game outcomes.

Three days I read a report Barcelona not interested in signing Barcelona loanee Joao Felix and decided to halt any kind of negotiations at the moment. If that report should be true, Joao Felix will definitely not be happy with that because from his actions during the game between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid earlier in the season, I think the player isn't interested in returning to Barcelona again.

His utterances in the post match interview suggests that he was happy with how he was being treated at the club and should Barcelona not permanent his deal, I think the Portuguese international will definitely move away at  from his parent club.

Jarrad Branthwaite is amazing. Its no wonder Manchester United and Real Madrid want him. Everton has a jewel, and if they play their cards well, they could profit from his sale. They have a good chance to recover financially.

Joao Felix has been used so much as loan, he deserves some level of respect at this time and be free to decide on his own but not by the club but I don't think Barcelona has the resources to extract him from the contract that bind him with Atletico but I will really love to see him make decisions on his own and not by the club public interest. This is why a young players need to be careful with the kind of deals they accept because they want a club badly, if he has signed a small duration contract, Atletico deal would have expired long time ago.

Mbappe's contract expires at the end of the season. Also, he is not getting successful results with Paris Saint-Germain FC outside Ligue 1. Therefore, his transfer to Real Madrid would be a very reasonable development. But Haaland is still under contract at Manchester City. And he continues to achieve a lot of success at Manchester City. I think Haaland's transfer to Real Madrid is not realistic. I will be very surprised if Haaland transfers to Real Madrid.

If Mbape sign the next contract with PSG, then I will believe that their is something wrong with him not after what they did to him when the season was about to start. I remember how he was denied entry to even the GYM where he can train and he will really want to sign a new deal. I think there is something he loves about PSG because why will you abandoned Real Madrid and go a place like PSG. I don't so.

But it's kind of weird that this is the second season in a row that the team has performed poorly. It's not a bad performance though, more like an unlike Chelsea. And now, when it is repeated for the second season in a row - it is obvious that people will compare Chelsea not with the top teams, but with the average ones, among which they are in the table

How can a team has the same number of win and loss and we expect them to bouce back, how? Not like there is changed or new player that has come into effect. I remember the last time when Lampard was facing the same challenges, Kante came and everyone was thinking yes, he will improve the quality of their performance but it seems the opposite was what happen. To effect a major change in the team, the coach must go and that is Pochettino and his crew including the assistant.

I have my doubts it will happen anytime soon, it's more likely to be delayed until the end of the season, either at half time they could sack him or right at the end, although I don't see the point of that, there's little to change at the end. If Chelsea continue in the same vein, they will definitely finish the season in the second half of the standings, and that's a serious wake up call, you could say that Chelsea have levelled with average clubs and are no longer in the top

Many believe that if Abramovich was still the owner of the Chelsea club, Pochettino would have been fired by now. All his efforts led to setbacks, some of the players recruited last summer did not show their best performance, and some of them even ended up in the treatment room due to injuries. Nkunku, who has just appeared since being brought from Leipzig, has suffered another injury, Jackson has now received a call to play for the national team at the Africa Cup of Nations, and I think Pochettino is experiencing a big headache at the moment.

Honestly, I agree if Pochettino is fired, in order to save the club reputation. We can say that Chelsea has now turned into a mediocre club, as proof that they lost to Middlesbrough which we never imagined would happen. However, it seems that management still believes that Pochettino is the right person, even though some fans are currently urging him to resign as head coach.

There is no longer any discussion about Chelsea chances of winning any trophies this season, if they cannot recruit sharp players up front. A squad that is mostly made up of young players is not enough to make the Blues consistent, maybe recruiting an experienced striker will make them improve in the second half of the season. It is indeed very difficult to do, and I think Chelsea will miss European competition again next season if they don't find a solution soon.

[QueenVera]

If Mbape sign the next contract with PSG, then I will believe that their is something wrong with him not after what they did to him when the season was about to start. I remember how he was denied entry to even the GYM where he can train and he will really want to sign a new deal. I think there is something he loves about PSG because why will you abandoned Real Madrid and go a place like PSG. I don't so.

Well I see no reason why Mbappé would choose to remain at PSG over Madrid, the Ancelotti might have made statements concerning the Mbappé but we all know that they're in need of a good and experienced striker and would definitely make a move for Mbappé once he declares his intentions to move there or he's declared free by PSG. If he wants to win a major trophy and make better name for himself then a move to Madrid would be the b option.

  Well he still got from now till the end of this season's competition to make his decision and I also think he decided to stay a PSG and extended his contract last summer cause he wouldn’t want to move to the Saudi league which is not good for his career as a young player and he's very comfortable with the figures he's receiving at PSG, else he would've gone to Arab for the money.

I doubt Werner can emulate Son's influence at Spurs. Maybe Werner can prove it on loan, as he said in an interview, so that the Tottenham public will fall in love with him.

Timo Werner will have a tough task with Tottenham in the second half of this season because timo werner was brought in as an option to replace Son because Son will strengthen his country in the Asian Cup. Apart from that, Timo Werner already played with another team in the Premier League last season, so Timo Werner will not need time to adapt to with Premier League. With his performance not being very satisfactory with Chelsea in the previous season I hope he can revive his best qualities with Tottenham in the second half of this season.

If you look at Tottenham performance this season, of course they are very dependent on Son so it is hoped that his absence in the second half of this season will not have a bad impact on their performance. For now, Ange Postecoglou must immediately think about how to set the best strategy to make Tottenham stronger. Apart from that, Tottenham will face Manchester United in tomorrow's match, maybe this will be Timo Werner first match.

Jarrad Branthwaite is amazing. Its no wonder Manchester United and Real Madrid want him. Everton has a jewel, and if they play their cards well, they could profit from his sale. They have a good chance to recover financially.

Indeed. Since signing Felix probably spend a lot of money, Barcelona must think again about their financial situation. If they are not in a good condition to sign Felix, it is better to extend his loan for 1 season more. Or if there is another club interested to sign Felix, Barcelona must look for another striker who has cheaper price to loan or buy. I think Felix performance isn't very amazing, but he could play quite well so far. So, Barcelona doesn't need to force themselves to sign Felix.

I don't know which player can be the alternative for Barcelona. Considering the limited budget of Barcelona, I think Barcelona only can target for an old striker or a very young striker.

[Coyster]

Son is at the Asian Cup too so they will need somebody to step up in his absence. I am doubtful Werner will come close to replicating the influence Son has.

Of course Timo Werner cannot, and then they also have Richarlison who is on the same level with Werner as average players, so i would have imagined that this is the time for him to step up in Son's absence. Well, if Ange went for Werner, then he definitely has plans for him in the team, we'd see how everything pans out.

Werner's potential first game is a big one against Manchester United, that is if the manager thinks he is ready to play on Sunday, if he can go on and make a statement in such a big game, we might start to take him seriously in his new team.  

[Obari]

With the way things are going at Chelsea,it seems they will be looking at the possibility of signing a new coach who will change their focus.Chelsea of recent had been an average team who was not counted among top elite teams again,but I believe after this January transfer window,things will change for good,and they will start getting some positive results.
Chelsea needs to go to the window,and sign like two or three players who can help the team get some posituve result,and not someone who will drag the team to the mud.It is good,and I think that  giving Pochetino time is the best thing to do,maybe they should judge him after the end of the season.

[Oluwa-btc]

If Chelsea continue in the same vein, they will definitely finish the season in the second half of the standings, and that's a serious wake up call, you could say that Chelsea have levelled with average clubs and are no longer in the top

Chelsea former owner, Abramovic was the man that led the team to triumph with good points but this current Chelsea is a mess with zero evidence to exihibits. Chelsea have not ceased the golden moments in football after the new manager, Todd Boehly took over. We're yet to discover the purpose of the club and these new young signings can not enchance the club, not with their present averge performance. Chelsea dissapointed everyone this season, despite not in the major tournaments, they have failed to meet the requirements to reach the top four this season.

I agree with you, At least a core Chelsea fan knew about his capacity and how he's already made history with the club. I'm no blue but I can say Chelsea in the last decade has got to be the most decorated English Premier League club in all of European footbal competition.
Though, we shouldn't forget that pain changesea man completely.

Arsenal moving for a player who hasn't score more goals than Nketiah this season?
They shouldn't be daft, they need a good goalscorer and not a yougin,they fail to make signatures then they'll fail the Premier League Competition.

[EL MOHA]

Son is at the Asian Cup too so they will need somebody to step up in his absence. I am doubtful Werner will come close to replicating the influence Son has.

Yes the Werner signing was definitely a huge surprise to everyone as no one will think both the club and the player himself will make such move after the last stint the player had in the premier league which was not convincing at all. But I thought about what the player will offer after it was revealed that it was Ange’s decision to sign him i will say he looks like someone that will fit in. Ange’s pattern is mostly playing a high line and this formation needs someone very quick in the striker role and that’s why Son was switched there. Just like everyone is saying if Werner can time his runs well he will definitely be big threat in the league. Postecoglu has been excellent to me with his signings so far, players like Van de ven, Sarr brought back from loan and also  Vicario who have been superb too.

Timo Werner flourishes in this kind of formations, even though he struggled in the premier league he did help them to win the champions league with that playing time. If this time he gets his running well and stay offside he will definitely help Spurs

This is a real dilemma for Barcelona because after all Joao still contributes greatly to Barcelona, especially when losing several players like Gavi, so the best option is Joao Felix. It's just that with the current situation Barcelona is too self-asking too in the end it might not be too good for them.
Looking at the transfer last season when they brought Victor Roque even though it was very cheap but it was also difficult for them to give a clause to Paranaense for the purchase of Roque because at that time they were still limited in terms of budget, especially spending because the conditions were not very good and one season I think it will still be the same because even this season Barcelona's finances are still very unsafe.
Currently Joao has a price of 40 million and of course this price is very difficult for Barcelona to give because after all with their current situation spending money is the same as increasing their cash flow which actually must be narrowed.

Joao Felix is a player who plays for Barcelona on loan and he couldn't really have a perfect performance during all these times and says more money on this player can't be good for Barcelona.
Instead of giving this huge money to Joao Felix, Barcelona can think about other players.

What kind of perfect performance do you mean because in the end when looking at Joao's current performance it is actually very good if you talk about performance, especially for some matches sometimes he actually makes a difference when Barcelona is having problems.
In addition, whether it's Joao or in the end other players Barcelona's problem is still the same, namely in finance where they cannot carelessly spend money on a player especially if it is a player who has a large enough price tag.

Unless Barcelona is ready to release some players who are considered not to make a big contribution and look for alternative replacements because the problem in this case is not about the player's compatibility with Barcelona but their finances do not support it.

[coinlocket$]

African cup will start in 1 day.
How does it work? do they play in only 1 country or over the continent?

Anyway, the transfers for them will be locked so a good portion of this market transfer window is dead.

Barcelona seems to be in a dilemma situation whether to make Joao Felix permanent or not because he has a high release clause which Atletico Madrid wants while Barcelona is not in a strong financial situation. In my opinion, Felix this season has been impressive for Barcelona, ​​in fact he has always been Xavi choice in every match. I think Xavi sees that Felix has the potential to show his best qualities but he needs time to prove it.

Maybe as you said, if Barcelona wants to make Felix status as a Barcelona player permanent, Barcelona will of course have to sell players who are unable to appear impressive this season. They have to turn around their finances to be able to make Joao Felix status permanent. Xavi certainly never fails in every transfer market, he will always take advantage of the best opportunities to make Barcelona stronger. but this time they have to think about Felix because he looks quite good so it would be a shame if Xavi and the Barcelona management don't make his status permanent.

It must be like that since pochettino keeps deliver nothing. He was making so many worst decision making otherwise. This is going to be another disaster for chelsea in long term. Pochettino has been on chelsea for more than a half of season and he shows no improvement to the club.
Chelsea really needs someone who can change the patter of club, pochettino was always using the same pattern anytime and this is the main problem owned by the club. Chelsea needs a new coach who can lead the club to the top 4 again.

Pochettino has no capability to make it happen soon. He has been wasting so much resources for nothing and im thinking about if you were todd then you have already sacked him from the club.
he was bad and chelsea needs to sign new coach not new players. Chelsea has so many players in the squad but coach being so clueless about how to maximize its potential.

Im not supporting coach right now caused by he was making so many wrong decision about that. Im only talking about the fact that.

Manchester United have expressed a firm interest in signing Real Madrid winger Vinicius Junior, who could be sold to fund a move for Kylian Mbappe. Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain are both keen on the Brazil international as well. (Fichajes)

There was a rumor said that if manchester united has been showing good interest to recruit real madrid's winger vini from elreal. I don't even think this is possible to happen caused by we do know how vini was alwasy feeling good when he was playing for real madrid.
He came as nothing in real madrid then he was staying to become something after the coach has been developed him so much compared a few years ago when he was starting his debut on real madrid. He was one of greatest winger in the world.
I have no doubt that some clubs may have interest to recruit him but the main problem if it seems he will be willing to stay very long in real madrid. This news appears after real madrid being linked to the mbappe.
I meant mbappe can play with left/right legs and this is not a problem to have mbappe in the club without selling vini to the another club. Vini was a good winger and this rumoa may never happen. It will be so bad if real madrid will be selling vini to the other club like Mu.
tean hag will destroy his career as a greatest winger.

[sana54210]

I think it's easy to understand why Kylian Mbappe wants to leave PSG and join Real Madrid, he is a fantastic player and wants to win many trebles, other than Uber Eats League 1. He is in his prime, is fast, amazing and will be a very nice transfer for Real Madrid too, he will further boost the performance and results of this team. But I can't find a single reason about why should Haaland move in Real Madrid. Manchester City is amazing team today, they have amazing coach and they perform extremely well. Manchester City is also one of the most famous and successful team, so, it's already privilege to be in their squad. At the same time, I want to mention Pep Guardiola again. He is probably the best coach who can create a beast forward from Haaland, he will not find as great coach as Pep to make him a successful footballer and he has mentioned it many times in interviews. So, I believe Haaland will not leave Manchester City, he has simply no reason to leave while Mbappe has many reasons to leave and I also believe that Mbappe might be a better addition for Real Madrid in this case.

I feel like he could have won that at PSG as well if he was that good enough, he wants to go to a team that could already win without him, so far in the past 6 or so years Real won 4 times, not sure if it was six or seven, but they won a lot and they have built a great young squad as well.

So what Mbappe wants is not to go to Real Madrid and help them win, what he wants is to go to a team that would already win, and just be there when they do. He could stay at the bunch and they would still win it, I am not saying they are going to, but with this squad and players? I am pretty sure that they are going to win one eventually anyway, and that is without Mbappe, if you add Mbappe then he will get one thanks to other players there too. That's just what he wants, an easy title.

[Belarge]

What kind of perfect performance do you mean because in the end when looking at Joao's current performance it is actually very good if you talk about performance, especially for some matches sometimes he actually makes a difference when Barcelona is having problems.
In addition, whether it's Joao or in the end other players Barcelona's problem is still the same, namely in finance where they cannot carelessly spend money on a player especially if it is a player who has a large enough price tag.

Unless Barcelona is ready to release some players who are considered not to make a big contribution and look for alternative replacements because the problem in this case is not about the player's compatibility with Barcelona but their finances do not support it.

The finance are unbalance and we have quite some measures for Barcelona to start earning free flow of cash in the system, only if the Super League formed insuing out a bullion to both Real Madrid and Barcelona, one of the good ways to help the Blaugrana from debts. Barcelona will release players who are no longer valuable to the team especially all these players vulnerability to injuries is high. The current condition or Barcelona is not something we should be laying down our conclusions, rather look up to the board for their initial executions. Joao Felix is talented and has a good footings on the ball, but unfortunately, Diego Simeone have failed to noticed the Portugal international and focused more on the players that aged and experienced instead of settling for a rare gem.
