⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Iranus]

It seems Manchester City is not taking care of the future of the team and they easily lose their young talent, Alfie Harrison.
Alfie Harrison is an 18-year-old player who played and had a good performance and many people were even comparing him with Haalnd because of the performance he had in Manchester City.
But this player left Manchester City and he is going to play for Newcastle after signing his contract for 3.5 million pounds.




https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-13032389/Newcastle-Man-City-Alfie-Harrison-Pep-Guardiola.html

I think Manchester City is thinking that they have a lot of money and they can actually buy players if they want. But they have to be careful because nobody knows when the money is going to run out. I will also say the same thing it definitely looks like Manchester City is not taking care of their future.

Maybe they also think that they do not need to actually keep him in the squad and maybe they have better options compared to him. But I think that's also a coping mechanism because he was a very good player. I think they could have kept him. That would have made more sense.

https://www.90min.com/posts/armando-broja-joins-fulham-on-loan-from-chelsea

Well, i never expect him would be agreed to join in the fulham as a loan from chelsea. Broja needs to develop himself even further caused by sometimes he has been so wasteful with so many chances received by the club. I must admit that if broja needs to prepare a lot of things. He is willing to participate in the euro 2024 and he needs to develop himself even better. Having him to play in the fulham's main squad will give him regular time to play. This will help him so much in developing himself to be even better. I think that this is the right decision to send him as a loan to the fulham. Pochettino can try to put all of his focus onto the nkuku which will become the main striker owned by the club.

Nkuku was the best one compared to another club caused by he was always able scoring through the Openplay unlike some strikers like broja and jackson which are always so wasteful with any chances. The only problem if pochettino was very often in starting him from the bench.

The club needs to put him as starting line up. This will be helping him a lot to adapt with the environtment in the EPL. I put a lot of hope for nkuku rather than jackson and broja.
The poor performance from jackson and broja were making me feel so upste with them. I dunno why pochettino can buy jackson. That was useless transfer for the club.

Nkunku might actually be able to produce a better performance compared to what the other players are giving the club. I highly suggest that they put him in the starting lineup. I believe he has the capability of performing well. And they will not know what he is capable of if they do not give him a good chance. Maybe play him in the starting lineup for a few weeks. And if he performs well keep playing him on the starting lineup and maybe if he gets tired substitute him. But if he does not produce the performance that they are looking for, they can obviously go for the players that they are already playing

Swedish talent Lucas Bergvall has picks Tottenham Hotspurs over FC Barcelona. Fee approaching €10m and add ons agreed with Djurgarden(Swedish club). Picked Spurs over Barcelona as there would be better appearance chances in the Premier league with the first team while FB Barcelona only promised him to be playing with the Acadamy and the B team. So, the move makes sense for him for the near future. Good pick up for Spurs.

Really? I still don't believe this news because in the last few days Lucas Bergvall has been very close to Barcelona and I think Barcelona fans will be very disappointed to hear this news. However, after I read the latest tweet from Fabrizio Romano, it is true that Lucas Bergvall chose Spurs over Barcelona. Lucas Bergvall changed his mind at the last second and I think this is the right decision for a young player who prioritizes playing minutes rather than joining a big team where it is not clear that he will get the playing minutes he deserves.

Maybe Barcelona should be more sincere because the players they are targeting are joining other teams and I think there is still time in the summer to attract other young talents. Spurs are very lucky to be able to get the services of this 18 year old player and he plays as a midfielder. I saw his skills in the video footage and indeed he is quite a genius for a player his age and with the competitiveness of the EPL he will be able to further develop his talent.

Well, it's not that strange because even though Barcelona is a big club, there are other priorities to think about when it comes to the future of a young player's career because after all, apart from money, there is a condition where young players also need guarantees in this regard.

Barcelona's financial problems are still very complex and will be very difficult to solve so in this case it will definitely be a problem especially for young players if they do not have certain conditions at the club.
In addition, the competition at Tottenham will be a little easier when compared to Barcelona because after all we can know that until now Barcelona is a big club to be in the senior dquad rather than having to let themselves be in limbo in the academy.
He's still young enough that even if Tottenham's club performance isn't the best, the decision to be at Totte ham rather than Barcelona could be the right one.

Barcelona's financial issues won't let them to even choose a good coach and since Xavi is going to leave Barcelona because of the bad performance he had in this team, they are about to hire another coach and it seems this time Barcelona wants to hire coaches from the Saudi League. Marcelo Gallardo is currently linked to Barcelona to work in this team, he was working in Atlético River Plate before and now Gallardo is working on Al Ittihad. Barcelona wanted to even hire this coach in the last season.

The amounts of money spent during the winter transfer season has been dropping drastically compared to the summer transfer season. It seems like that many clubs are still feeling confidence with their squads and they don't need to buy the new players.

The latest report from https://www.90min.com/posts/premier-league-spending-drops-drastically-compared-january-2023-window

Premier League clubs spent a combined £96.2m across the January transfer window, almost £700m less than in 2023's winter window.

Im also having other opinion if many clubs were aware if there will be so many great players to leave from their club in the upcoming summer transfer season. So, they are trying to save their money to recruit competence players in the summer transfer season instead of spend a lot of money at the middle of season.
Some clubs like chelsea and arsenal became less active in winter transfer season. I was only seeing broja being loaned to the fulham and it was also happening in the last minutes.

I hope there will be so many surprises to come in the summer transfer season. There will be so many rumors to be answered like the future of mbappe.
Mbappe had been heavlily linked to the real madrid and we will know what's gonna be his answer in the future. Mbappe has been known as one of best player in this decade. Some players linked to the saudi transfers and we will get the answer in the summer trnasfer season that will come around mid year.

I can't even wait to see where the hell mbappe will be going on. This guy is full with gimmick and i hope he will find the new club asap since he has no intention to extend his contract in PSG.

Barcelona wanted to even hire this coach in the last season.

The problem is that the possibility of them gambling again next season is very likely to happen.
Losing Xavi is a certainty now and we still don't know who his replacement will be for next season and they will surely lose Cancelo and Joao Felix due to expiring contracts.

It's going to take a lot of thinking because with the way things are going for Barcelona, they're going to have to try and find the right alternatives to make their performance next season better than it is today.
Of course, the most important thing of all at the moment is to manage and solve their financial problems and FFB restrictions as much as possible because after all this is something very important for Barcelona in order to change the club for the better.
If in the end it is possible that there are other victims who must be released too I don't think it's too much of a problem because Barcelona's players actually for the midfield are quite piled up but Xavi is always reluctant to release them and would rather bother with salary problems than release players.

Am very interested in the signing of Osimhen to Arsenal as in the news. He has really shown class in the AFCON for the Super Eagles and as such has proven beyond any doubts that he's a top class and very valuable player for Napoli.

Osimhen to my club, that will be incredible and blast but he is not among the top 20 goal scorer but over all, I'm impress with his performance in the Afcon, he is young but the way he dedicated his power in the Afcon shows he is good and Nigeria will be playing their Quarter Finals today which I'm optimistic to come great for Super Eagles. However, his Performance in Napoli has decline maybe this was due to what has happened as a result of the racism.

If Osimhen will be making moves, I don't want to see him in Arsenal unless they are ready to let's go of either Jesus or Nketkiah, there is going to be a conflict of interest between these three guys and I fear Osimhen might be bench for these two guys.

With the renewal of his contract at Napoli, we could see him being signed up on the release clause of almost £119m  and am very sure Chelsea FC, Real Madrid or PSG would struggle to grab him from the bid made by the Arsenal management.
I for one want him at Arsenal and he would do very much good with the inclusion of J.Gabriel, Saka, Odegaard, Nketiah in the team.

Osimhen has cleared this during his interview with Fabrizio, he said he has just signed a new contract with Napoli but it doesn't mean that he can't move to another club but he is going to finish this season and now that the transfer market has close, till June before we are going to see if he will be going to any Premier League or not at all but I personally don't want to see him in Arsenal because of the situation of the team.

I don't really understand whether young player Lucas Bergvall has good talent but for me young players always have better performance and it all depends on how the club can develop these players to become players who have reliable talent.
Barcelona should not need to be disappointed with this rejection because as a young player he will definitely choose the right club to be able to provide a great career in the future but it seems not only that but Lucas Bergvall will think about the future of his salary because Barcelona is actually also the right club because Xavi could be a reliable coach to develop Lucas Bergvall talent but unfortunately financial shortages affect a player's confidence.

Lots of people say that joining Tottenham is the right choice for a young player, but I'm a little disappointed to see a young player reject an offer from a popular club like Barcelona even though any young player wants to be part of a popular club but I don't know what the goal is. Lucas Bergvall is certain that this is not just about career.

Is Xavi leaving because of bad results or is it that he's not enjoying managing at all. The management are putting pressure on him and are unhappy with the performances even when he's winning matches. Which isn't a good sign. I think he even mentioned in an interview that it's going to be an unpleasant experience for anyone who's seeking a job to manage Barcelona and the next manager should be ready for that.

I must have talked about PSG's interest in Rashford before. After some time they dropped it. But now according to rumours they have started to be interested in signing him again. 

But I don't know if Rashford is really worth it...    Because he has been a really inconsistent player for many years. One season we see him being very productive and playing a big role in his team to rise. But in the other one (like this one) he is like a ghost. I don't think this would change if he signs for PSG as well. PSG must be taking this also into account before making an official offer.

Yeah, for some seasons now Marcus Rashford has been very inconsistent just as you've stated that's how his form has been for quite some seasons now but notwithstanding his performance I think he isn't comfortable being in Manchester united again because he doesn't give in his best in matches as he usually does before so when a player that have been very up and doing for his team begins to show some kind of backwardness in matches rather than improve his performance just know the player is becoming tired with the club.

Marcus Rashford is just 26 years old and has a promising future in his football career so if PSG is interested in him and sign him to their squad I believe he would make a difference there because if not for his inconsistency in Manchester united, Rashford is one of the players that have the interest of his team at heart and always try his possible best for his team but regardless of the rumours suggesting that Rashford may move to PSG I don't see the player leaving Manchester united anytime soon because I just feel he's having a bad time now and needs some more time to bounce back to his good old days at Manchester United so hopefully, he's still gonna stay at united.

Hahaha Xavi has changed all the expectations of the Barcelona management team and all Barcelona fans and it seems like he has experienced various pressures.
All because in declining conditions like this, Barcelona management is definitely putting pressure on him to produce good results.
It just that it still too early to blame Xavi for not being able to bring Barcelona into change because there is chance that Barcelona can have one of the top rankings even though they are not winners of the title.

We all know how the Barcelona team management puts pressure on the coach if the team cannot get satisfactory results, but this is normal thing and happens quite often to other team.
I just hope that in the future, if Xavi is replaced, he can become truly appropriate coach and can bring about change.

In the past, there were rumors that he would return to Bayern Munich after the German club experienced a central defender crisis, but now Jerome Boateng has instead joined the Italian club, Salernitana. I am happy to see that Jerome Boateng can play again as a professional footballer because he was not on the field for quite a long time after not receiving an offer from any European club. His status is a free agent and this is a free signing for Salernitana and I think at least he can help Salernitana who are currently experiencing poor performance in Serie A.

His experience will be very useful and even though he is 35 years old, at least he is quite reliable. Maybe this is not a good signing, but considering that Salernitana's finances are not that good, they can only rely on players who are free agents like Jerome Boateng. Congratulations to Jerome Boateng and in his prime he was a very good defender for Bayern Munich and the German national team.

It seems Manchester City is not taking care of the future of the team and they easily lose their young talent, Alfie Harrison.
Alfie Harrison is an 18-year-old player who played and had a good performance and many people were even comparing him with Haalnd because of the performance he had in Manchester City.
But this player left Manchester City and he is going to play for Newcastle after signing his contract for 3.5 million pounds.

This transfer move  shouldn’t automatically mean they’re not looking to the future of the team. And they’re not losing their young talents only cause of his departure, they’re letting him go. There’s a difference.
He’s a talented player and that’s why Newcastle had an interest in having him. He wouldn’t get the playing time he would have loved at Manchester city as there are other experienced players in the squad that are more likely to be picked for a game.  

Hopefully, the move to Newcastle would give him the playing time he hopes to get. He’s still young and has his career ahead of him.

I think he even mentioned in an interview that it's going to be an unpleasant experience for anyone who's seeking a job to manage Barcelona and the next manager should be ready for that.

It is certain that Xavi was under a lot of pressure because in the previous few matches his team's performance looked very inconsistent and they had to lose to a team that was far below their quality. But management should also understand that Xavi came to be coach at a time when the club was not doing well due to financial problems so expecting anything more from him was absolutely impossible.

The absence of adequate player support will make it very difficult for Xavi to develop the team because he cannot rotate players as he wants. For the new coach, it will also be quite difficult if Barcelona is still facing financial problems because they will have difficulty bringing in new quality players.

Xavi suffered from Barcelona rigid attitude toward new signing. It is whether they pick a player for free or for low cost or a swap deal or a loan. Of course the salary shouldn't be high too. They are acting like a broken team then they got angry when the coach fail to keep good results. They are lucky to be among the top 4 for long time!
Now the new coach will have to find a new strategy to boost the team results or end up being sacked too

Lucas Bergvall is certain that this is not just about career.

I can't say for certain that it's a good decision, but I can see his angle. Barcelona wanted him to start with the junior team and then be incorporated into the senior team later. Tottenham on the other hand will place him in the first team immediately. Nobody at his level would like to stay in the junior team.
Secondly, he is guaranteed more playing time at Tottenham. At Tottenham, he's going to have to deal with less pressure than at Barcelona. Barcelona is a massive club that can boast of some of the best midfielders in the history of the game, playing in this kind of midfield puts so many expectations on one's shoulders.

Also, Tottenham offered more money to his management and representative. Barcelona didn't want to match that offer so they had to let him go.
I hope he comes out good for Tottenham. I have not watched him much but from the little I've seen, he's a very big potential.

It must be admitted, being a Barcelona coach is not easy because there are many demands that the coach must be able to provide, such as winning, playing beautifully and trophies. When the coach is unable to make Barcelona appear consistently winning, pressure will come on him from various sides. Xavi's decision to resign as Barcelona coach was because he had difficulty meeting all the demands on him. I think any coach will have difficulty managing Barcelona with all the club's financial limitations. Xavi cannot be said to have failed with Barcelona, he managed to present a trophy in his first season even though when he arrived there the club was not in the best condition.

🚨🔴🟡 Serge Aurier to Galatasaray, here we go! Deal back on today as exclusively revealed this morning and agreement now in place between all parties. Aurier insisted overnight to join Gala when deal was off with Nottingham Forest. Gala will sign both Aurier & Carlos Vinicius.
https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1753422524967235627


Galatasaray have signed Serge Aurier. After selling Boey to Bayern Munich, Galatasaray needed to sign a right back. According to Fabrizio Romano, this transfer has been completed. Galatasaray also need a left back and a midfielder to replace N'dombele. The transfer season in Turkiye will end on February 9th. I expect two more transfers these days. If we want to win the championship race, we need to spend the transfer window well.

Broja and Nicholas Jackson are not the kind of players to play for Chelsea, they're not going to give a good job for the club so it's best if they can go elsewhere for more game time.
Moving to Fulham makes a good idea, they lack a good number nine since they let Mitrovic leave for good. I believe after this season he'll make a final move to Fulham if he does a good job for them.

Chelsea in between needed to let go of some players so they can rsise a good sum to avoid the penalties from Fifa. Come next season, five to six players will definitely leave Chelsea.

Signing Serge Aurier I think is a very good transfer move by Galatasaray after Boey to Bayern Munich. The Ivorian is a very good right back who has played for big European clubs including Paris Saint Germaine. The arrival of Serge Aurier will increase Galatasaray chances of winning the Turkish Super Lig at the end of the season as he's gonna bring his experience and physical talents to the club. He's still on international duty with the Ivorian national team who are currently participating in the ongoing CAF African Cup Of Nations and is expected to join the Turkish club immediately after the tournament.
