⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[davis196]

We also know Benzema as a loyal player, he isn't a typical player who easily moves to another team. Moreover, he still got nothing with Al Ittihad, and he still can't prove anything in SPL. So he must try to stay in SPL to prove his quality as a top player. If he leaves SPL very soon, people will assume Benzema has no responsibility with Al Ittihad.

Benzema deleted his Instagram account with 75 million followers, because he was criticized for his performance.
I can't imagine how angry and frustrated someone could be, so that he could delete his IG profile, just because he was criticized.
Also there are rumors that the manager of Al Ittihad doesn't want to use Benzema and the French player might be loaned to PSG or Manchester Untied for the next half of the season. I don't understand why PSG and Manchester United would want to sign an old and unmotivated player like Benzema. He was a top class player, but his best years are way behind him.

Milan, Manchester United and Newcastle are teams whose names are called with Serhou Guirassy for this transfer window now. However as far as I know there is still no official offer made for him. He was said to be injured but it looks like he is on national duty now. I was curious about the seriousness of the so-called injury news for once.

Anyways I assume we would see some offers for him before the winter window closes. Because he is available by paying a really low sum to buy out his release clause. Teams in need of a solid striker like him shouldn't miss the opportunity.

He is one of the players who attracts attention, with VfB he has scored 17 goals in the Bundesliga and is the second highest goalscorer after Harry Kane. I haven't heard clearer news from the three clubs you mentioned, but there are many rumors saying they are interested in bringing in Serhou Guirassy in this transfer market. Considering his abilities, I don't expect him to leave Manchester United, I'm not underestimating Manchester United, but there fundamental problems often occur and that is risky for a player because it can affect his performance.
I am one of those people who believes that the environment or situation around a player will influence it, especially if it is something that looks bad or there is a conflict between the people around the club.

I think it's ineffective, there are many other players who are younger and more powerful. I think experience alone doesn't mean he'll play better. I think they too brave to bring Benzema back to the EPL, because of the fast tempo of the game. Actually 9 goals 5 assists is not a bad achievement. But maybe 3 consecutive defeats put Benzema under pressure. It seems to be the same with Henderson.  The news of his absence in 3 training sessions also makes speculation worse. Although there was news that he was stuck on the island of Mauritius due to a typhoon.

I would like to mention that it appears Benzema may have chosen to deactivate his Instagram account instead of permanently deleting it, despite having a massive following of 75 million users. It doesn't even make sense if he was deleting his instagram account caused by that. he has a very strong mentality and that's the problem. So, will benzema try to recreate his instagram account again? He knows that if there will be lots of his fans will be attacking him. So, he took the decision to deactivate his account caused by that will help him to keep his mentality.
I would prefer to see him join in the premier league or something else instead of stay much longer in the club. In fact, benzema has been trying so hard to help the club but there were many people who hated him in ittihad. Benzema will take the right decision if he decides to leave from the club to join in the big club. He can go back again into the professional scene in european football league. Benzema is just trying to avoid so many questions came from his fans regarding the future of him in the club. This is not something wrong coz he has privacy as well.

Haaland may leave Manchester this summer.

He will have a release clause around 120-150mil and if Guardiola will leave, he will also leave.

Just my 2 cents.

It will be interesting to see how it goes because if Manchester City lose the figure of Pep and Manchester City, of course this will be a pretty heavy loss for them because after all they are 2 figures who are currently the most meritorious for Manchester City.
We know that Pep had previously planned to leave because the club conditions were not very favorable especially when he failed in the Champions League in his last 2 seasons he had decided to leave but it could still be thwarted by Manchester City and finally got the Treble last season.
As for Haaland although he has only been at Manchester City for 1 season, he has also become one of the players who contributed the most to the goals scored by Manchester City because last season's top scoring title is proof that he is a very talented young player even though this is his first season in a new competition bigger than the Bundesliga.

If indeed these two pillars decide to leave the club then this will be a loss for Manchester City because indirectly there will be a change in performance that could be significant especially when Pep decides to leave the Etihad.

Haaland may leave Manchester this summer.

He will have a release clause around 120-150mil and if Guardiola will leave, he will also leave.

Just my 2 cents.

I actually think Real Madrid is the team he is going to. We all know that Real Madrid really wanted to bring in Mbappe. But they were not able to. And there is another rumor circulating that Jude Bellingham is pushing to bring in Haaland in Real Madrid. So common sense said he might actually go to Real Madrid next unless Real Madrid actually reaches an agreement with Mbappe. Which I do not think is going to be easy actually. If Haaland joins Real Madrid, Mbappe might actually join Manchester City. What do you guys think about that?

I think Haaland joining Real Madrid is unlikely right now. Manchester City values Haaland, and his contract continues until 2027, so they wont let him go easily. Mbappe is more likely to join Real Madrid. Rumours of a personal deal between Mbappe and Real Madrid seem imminent.

However, Mbappe joining Manchester City if Haaland joins Real Madrid is intriguing but unlikely. Real Madrid will pursue Mbappe, I think. Its a tricky puzzle, but Haaland or Mbappe in Real Madrid's lineup is thrilling. These possibilities will depend on the next two transfer windows.

Milan? Could be true as they've been planning for the exit of Olivier Giroud who has his contract coming to an end within the next six months and his been linked with clubs from the states.

Manchester United? Nah! They're no longer interested in getting the player. Could be at the beginning of the season but not at this moment, I've ot seen shit related to Manchester United and Serhou.

Newcastle United as far as I know saw them striker and winger scoring goals against Manchester City, what else do they need in that team? Believe me I must say it has to be between the midfielder's and defender's. They've conceded lots unlike last season, they need fix that not splashing unnecessary cash on attacking players. Serhou Guirassy could finally be a Milan ppayeiat the end of the season.

According to rumors Benzema wants to leave Saudi Arabia and come back to Europe.

What do you think? I think it is just a Bs, he is good with their lifestyle since his orings are there and he takes a lot of money ...

make no sense if he wants to leave-

Hmmm, this may be frustrating for Benzenma to return to European football because I think only for one reason he wants to return, and the reason is that it ends up ending his career where he started from. From my thoughts, only one reason can lead to his return to Europe, and that is his career ending, which he started at Lyon.
Nevertheless I believe that he will never go back to Europe again because in Saudi Arabia he earned a lot of money, while in Europe he can only get a small amount. Despite the fact that a player becomes older, he only sees his feet hanging out of the shoes. So therefore, Benzema needs to stay in Saudi Arabia to earn a lot of money and spend the rest of his life well. Anyway, no club in Europe will keep him for the long term, except for some time to improve his team. After that, they will not be able to keep Benzema anymore because he will be 38 years old.

[QueenVera]

If Haaland can still be consistent and stable in his performance in every match until the next few season, then it is clear that Manchester City can definitely do whatever it takes to keep him, after all, the owner of Manchester City is Sheikh Mansour.
He is billionaire who owns company that operates in the field of football, there will be large amount of money that can be spent to keep Haaland if he can still play well.
Some people might say that Haaland could leave Manchester City because of Haaland release clause, but it seems that this clause has indeed been changed and from rumors circulating, the clause has indeed been disabled.

Regarding Mbappe and Real Madrid, the opportunity for Mbappe arrival is getting closer and of course we will see how Real Madrid can get stronger when Mbappe has succeeded in joining them.
I sure that when there is collaboration between Belllingham and Mbappe, the strength in Real Madrid front line will become even more dangerous and of course this will be threat to all teams including Barcelona.
Belllingham is only midfielder but he can play very well in attacking conditions, Belllingham has managed to provide 13 with 2 assists for Real Madrid in the La Liga competition.

It's a player's decision if he wants to stay in a club or leave, also it depends on his contract signed with the team as well as the teams decision to either keep him or let him go. In PSG, Mbappe is one key man that they don't want to give off yet. Even though his contract is set to expire by summer, they still know he's advantageous and would want to keep him.

 For Mbappe, his stay in the team beyond and after the expiration of the contract seems to be dependent on his intentions as well as the teams performance in the long run. Good thing for him that Madrid may not really be interested in him yet until summer so he's got to be a bit patient till then, then maybe, he'd be willing to join the Spanish side. Even though Liverpool are questing for him as well, ion think they'll be set to afford that amount for him during this January transfer window. Let's just see how the next coming days would be as regards Mbappe and teams surrounding him.

According to the SUN https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/25049203/transfer-news-live-chelsea-newcastle-liverpool-guimaraes-updates/

It's said that if chelsea has been rumored to target benzema or firmino as a new striker. Is this a sense idea to get one of them to join in the EPL? Benzema has no experienced in EPL unlike firmino but it's likely the chance is pretty small for firmino to accept chelsea's offer since he needs to keep his promises to the all of liverpool fans. I can't even believe that if chelsea would be thinking of buying old striker like benzema or firmino. I thought that chelsea would not care so match with the crisis on its striker.

There are lots of choices available in the market like guirassy or even osimhen. It appears that Chelsea was willing to pursue one of those strikers because their price was quite affordable for the club.
The club is not even willing to lose another chance to strengthen the club. Do you guys support this?

I personally think that chelsea needs to reconsider it again. Im not saying this is a bad decision, but the club needs also to consider their salary or various factors. If Benzema agrees to join Chelsea, it will undoubtedly shock a lot of people.
So, they will see benzema to play in EPL.

Mauricio Pochettino have to make quick decision because Chelsea currently lack of forward players this because Christopher Nkunku still got injured and Nicolas Jackson playing at African Cup and indeed Chelsea has several names such as Armando Broja or Cole Palmer but the performance of these players is still unstable so it's quite risky to rely on them for each matches so that's why to solved this problem Pochettino want to bought some players and Pochettino have been thinking to loan Benzema or Firmino because they are experience players especially for Firmino that he has playing with Liverpool for 8 years so it will not hard for him to adapt with Chelsea because Firmino already know the atmosphere of Premier League

Just like i said before Benzema found it very difficult to adapt to Al Ittihad so that's why he will considering every offers which came to him so although this still a rumour but not impossible to happend and for Firmino the rumour is Al Ahli doesn't satisfied to his performance because Firmino was through an 18 matches with only scores 3 goals which this is poor statistics from Firmino and this record also has proven Firmino was failed to adapt with Saudi Pro League however besides Chelsea Al Ahli also reported offering Firmino to Fulham and if Fulham agree then Firmino will return to Premier League this January

Benzema is a footballer who has proven himself with many successes in Europe. I think playing in Europe has only one purpose. And that is that the player wants to prove himself against the best in the world. Benzema has already done that in the past. Ronaldo, Messi and others have done it in the past. They don't need to go back to Europe again. It makes more sense for them to make money in America or Asia. I don't think Benzema will return to Europe.

Whether this is possible or not, only time will tell because there are always some transfers that can be unexpected and we can't trust so in this case it depends on time and agreement in the end.
Currently, the issue of the charges against Manchester City is also still rolling even without the clarity of FFP and autonomy in the EPL but this issue still remains and could be the difference later.
In addition, the situation of Pep even though he is one of the legendary coaches at Manchester City could leave.
We know Pep always leaves when his goal at one of the clubs is achieved as he did when coaching Barcelona and Bayern so it is possible that this also happens for Manchester City because after all, with the situation that Pep received at this time, his goal has actually been achieved where the treble from City last season was enough to make his name even more recognizable and even back to back EPL champions are very rare for coaches in the EPL so he could be looking for new challenges at a new club if he wants.

[Furious 7]

It will be useless if you were awaiting real madrid to give you a clue about which player that has been signed to the club. It's caused by real madrid will never ever try to reveal its transfer to the public before official announcement from the club itself.
Real madrid was always keeping it secretly, just like when ancellotti was extending his contract. None expect it to happen and that is it. It was also proving that if real madrid has been committing to keep the integrity from the club.

Same here, because in the matter of player transfers it seems that Madrid is currently always careful because they do not want the same incident to happen again when they have been rumored and are very confident that they can get players to run aground in the last days as happened to Mbappe so Madrid will definitely always keep it closed because this is also good for their marketability because in the end if it is too open things like this will not be a good surprise.

In recent seasons there have been a few things that have happened there such as the departure of three players last season and the extension of Ancelotti's contract when we were fully convinced that he was leaving for Brazil some time ago.

As for Madrid transfers whether they involve star players or not, it looks like we will just have to wait and see what they do because at the end of the day all thats happening for them is speculation especially with some of the rumors circulating at the moment.

I get your point concerning Chelsea's striker situation, but Benzema or Firmino coming seems odd. Benzema is a world-class player, but Chelsea may not suit him. They need a player who can grow with the team, and Benzema is too old. His EPL inexperience may also be a factor. Firmino, however, knows the Premier League well, but leaving Liverpool for Chelsea? Given his Reds loyalty, that's hard to stomach. I think Chelsea should target younger players who can offer a new energy to the team rather than huge stars who may not fit the club's long-term plan.

Many clubs have been linked to him recently but he has not yet given any confirmation regarding this whether he will stay or leave from ittihad. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-12964601/Chelsea-loan-Karim-Benzema-Roberto-Firmino-transfer.html

As some people said above that if some clubs were also interesting to take him as loan. You can say that those guys can think about how to make money but how about when they were not feeling so well in SPL?

henderson will join in ajax soon, fimrino and benzema have been targeted by the big clubs in EPL too. I think that the better if those guys will leave from saudi pro league even although majority of these clubs are demanding them as loan from saudi pro league club.

I think that moves to the european league was not a bad decision for all of them. They can still play there even without having high salary like when they were at saudi pro league.

[rendravolt]

Anthony Martial is the next player who is likely to leave Manchester United and there was an offer from a Saudi league team to sign him but Anthony Martial rejected it and preferred to stay in Europe. I think that's quite the right decision, especially since Anthony Martial is not that bad even though he rarely plays and as long as he is at the right club his performance can be honed again. At Manchester United he was rarely played by Erik ten Hag or even his previous coach and maybe this could be a good option so that his career can recover.

There are several European teams such as West Ham, Inter and Fenerbahce who have been linked with him and I think joining one of these teams would be very good for his future and I think it could also make him sharper as a striker. Now we'll see who will be closer to Anthony Martial because he doesn't have enough time at Manchester United.

He is another player that I think could have done well for the team, but if he is about to leave the club, I wonder whether they will replace him equally. But I know that he couldn't really live up to expectations sometimes, so maybe this is the right decision for both of them. But we will then see whether ten Hag will get along with any of the substitute players or not. My guess is that he will never bring back Manchester United into a shape that they can compete with the top four in the Premier League.

[TelolettOm]

According to rumors he wants to leave now...

but he will never happen, the Arabs have a lot of money, an infinite amount of money and they will never leave him.

I bet they are ok with letting him on the bench with the full salary over selling him for free.

I'm surprised to know he wants to leave now. It is very early to leave Al Ittihad, he even doesn't finish 1 season.
I think Benzema should be more patient to stay in Al Ittihad until his contract expires at least. It is not a wise decision to leave Al Ittihad now.

Sure, Saudi teams have a lot of money, they will try to keep their star players with their money, including Benzema. There is no chance for Benzema to leave Al Ittihad for free, he has a contract until 2026. Benzema also has a big responsibility in Al Ittihad because he is the captain. Al Ittihad will never let him to sit on the bench, Benzema will always be in the starting lineup.

For a player that was the Balon D'ior holder before he was signed Al Ittihad, Karim Benzema have failed to deliver the kind of performance that was expected from him by the management and fans of the club since he arrived the Saudi Arabian club last summer and I think it is his inability to deliver impressive performances at the club that's the main reason to leave the club and not because he's not offered of best financial deals he could ask from the club management.

Karim Benzema was not just Real Madrid's captain before he left the club last summer but was unarguably the best player at the Spanish giants and must have thought that the Saudi Arabian League will be less demanding but little did he know that just like many European leagues, the Saudi Pro League is a very strong one. I know that Al Ittihad's management would definitely want to increase his wages in other to keep him at the club if not for anything, then for his influence as a five times UEFA champions league winner

Given his Reds loyalty, that's hard to stomach. I think Chelsea should target younger players who can offer a new energy to the team rather than huge stars who may not fit the club's long-term plan.

Bringing in Benzema might turn Stamford Bridge into a retirement home for football legends, and we can't have the pensioners outnumbering the players on the field. I dont think Chelsea fans want him mistaking the pitch for a shuffleboard court. And Firmino leaving Liverpool for Chelsea? That's like trying to convince a cat to become a dog's roommate. It's just not in their nature. Besides, I can already hear the Liverpool fans chanting, "You'll Never Walk Alone... Unless Chelsea offers a better dental plan!" LoL

Chelsea need to aim for younger blood, someone who's not on a first-name basis with their physiotherapist. We want players who can bring new energy to the team, not players who need a GPS to find the goalposts. Chelsea needs a fresh face with determination to develop his own career. Chelsea should be in the market for a sprightly striker, not a footballing ambassador. Let's keep the team young, vibrant, and free from early-bird dinner reservations.
