⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

Niko Kovac wants to bring Mario Gotze to Monaco.

That would be good to see. Mario Gotze is without club right now and it is really sad to see no one buy him because of how injury prone the player is.

There are rumours that AS Monaco and AC Florence are interested in Goetze. At AS Monaco, Nico Kovac is now coach and he knows Goetze well from the Bundesliga. And he would fit good into the team. So this could be an option for him. And in Florence, Frank Ribery is said to be pushing for an Goetze commitment, as he also knows him well from his time with Bayern Munich.

I actually don't think Zapata will be a good replacement BUT €30m does seem like a good deal at the moment,

Actually it's not really bad for player with 24 appearance in Serie-A with 17 goals (this season), But he must compete with another juventus target players such as Milik, Jimenez, Gabriel Jesus and Lacazette. So, let's see who will be joined Juventus this summer.

[SFR10]

Lacazette according to L'Equipe and le10sport.com, both French press is talking with Juventus for the after Higuain.

Meh, another old player for the old lady if he comes. 

Can't see this happening ^{[Arsenal surely won't allow Lacazette to go, unless for a better player]}, especially after his spell at Chelsea ^{[it's best if Higuain plays in other leagues]}.
^{- Having said that, I wouldn't mind seeing "Lacazette/Dybala swap".}

Considering that Lacazette's game wasn't very good,

He might not score goals on a consistent basis but no one should question his abilities + fighting spirit ^{[something that we see regularly]}.

Barcelona and Arsenal are getting into talks over Coutinho-Guendouzi swap deal.

Yes, please...
^{- It'll be a win-win for both clubs.}

Seems like Unai Emery will be the new head coach of Villareal FC. Isn't official yet. (Source: https://www.marca.com/en/football/spanish-football/2020/07/19/5f14a32322601df64e8b4644.html)

Good luck to them ^{[they'll be needing it]} if it really happens.
Rumors:

• Arsenal is working to secure Ceballos for another year/permanently ^[source].
  ^{- Very likely to happen.}
• Joelson Fernandes to Arsenal for £41m ^[source].
  ^{- Might happen but for a lesser fee or a swap instead.}

[Avirunes]

• Arsenal is working to secure Ceballos for another year/permanently ^[source].
  ^{- Very likely to happen.}

Ceballos is really a good midfielder. He has produced so many chances and many have turned into goal. Arteta is also including him more often now. It's a very good deal but I think Arsenal should go for a permanent deal for Ceballos. New formation and lineup is working well so far for Arsenal.

Just some Ceballos stats:

According to information posted on Juventus site which prove the information to be genuine. Juventus have made an offer for Atalanta striker Duvan Zapata this summer, according to Corriere dello Sport.

The report suggests the Bianconeri are trying to plan ahead, with Gonzalo Higuain looking ever likely to leave the club in the coming months.

Juve have been linked with Alexandre Lacazette and Raul Jimenez in recent weeks, however the favourite for the strikers’ role is Arkadiusz Milik.

Talks with Napoli have reportedly been ongoing, however their valuation of €50m is seen as too steep, leaving Juve to look for alternatives.

Corriere dello Sport suggest that Juve have made a €30m offer to Atalanta for their in-form striker Duvan Zapata that would also include Mattia Perin heading to Bergamo. Source

Juventus' attack line is very good this season. I think they lack right-back, Danilo and Mattia de Sciglio these players are often injured.
Juventus VS Lazio match, Maurizio Sarri chose Juan Cuadrado who plays right wing at right back. This is a Juventus problem this season, this needs to be fixed. I think there are a number of names that need to be considered for right-backs such as Nelson Semedo playing in Barcelona, ??Achraf Hakimi playing in Dortmund on loan from Real Madrid and Ricardo Pereira from Leicester City.

[redsun114]

Juventus looking for a striker both makes sense and also doesn't make sense at the same time. They already have a good trio ahead with Ronaldo, Dybala and cuadrado, why would they want to change that, is one of them leaving? As far as I know Ronaldo and Dybala is still here, so the only one that is leaving could be Cuadrado, if there is noone leaving I would say there is really not that much need to buy a huge name star for that role, they could instead loock for some defensive backs that could be improved.

However they are going to get someone, it should definitely not be Lacazette, I would say Jimenez would be a lot better, dude managed to play awesome at Premier League, think about how much more awesome he could be if he moved to Serie A and fits in the system.

[Captain Corporate]

 I would say not spending so much and making a bigger depth would be a wiser move. If they buy all of it on just one player that would basically be one shot at success and thats it, but if they spend that money on something more players that means they could hit it right if not for one player and eventually one may become a started. Look at Merih Demiral for example, he wasn't really considered a player that would be super starter for the top eleven but at the same time he beat all others for the spot and he became a great part of the team, of course he is injured but he will come back and would probably get back into starting eleven. Instead of getting a player for all the money, just get few players like him and you would be a lot better if they turn out good.

Higuain will for sure leave the club I think but probably because he feels that Sarri is not going to be able to survive more than another season (if he even makes it to the next season). I actually don't think Zapata will be a good replacement BUT €30m does seem like a good deal at the moment, all prices and conditions considered for the current market.

I totally agreed with you about the deal not to be good but if we put into consideration the issue of the pandemic and the damaged done to the economy it still a fair deal. However, Zapata manager have the right to reject the deal if they are satisfied in their end.
Speaking of Higuain leaving, hes not leaving Juventus because Sarri contract or age.

I think that Chelsea will make a huge mistake if they sell him.
He is a great player with a lot of speed on his feet.
I wonder why he is so much benched - if it is good for his career he should probably move.

[dre1982]

The blues chelsea looking very serious how to make dream team and good player at the future, they have make fantastic transfer with new and young player, but their quality most impressive on their club before, last day they have announced to get sign Kai Havertz from Bayern Leverkuses and he is young player and become potential at the team, I think chelsea will be good team mange by Frank Lampard after success get many young player like Hakim Ziyech and become chelsea part at next season.

This is a strategic way to get a good team. Young players usually will be able to learn fast in we ever every game to play. The deciding coach knows about this and their play they wants so this young players could easily adapt any situation that the coach wanted a set up of plays. Pretty Hakim Ziyech had a promising career at chelsea but I think he needs to get along with other players. He is one my favorite player knowing that he was also selected as one of the 20 best players in the UEFA Champions League for the 2018–19 season. Not bad for Chelsea to have this guy.

I am still sad Ziyech left Ajax but he was just getting too good to play in the Dutch competition. Let's see what he can at Chelsea.

Wondering which other players will leave Ajax this summer. Let's hope not too much.

Odoi is a good player, but imo, not too good to start for Chelsea just yet, and I don't think Frank Lampard has him in his plans for next season, a move away from Stamford Bridge may well be the best decision for his burgeoning career. The club though prolly do not want to lose him, loan could be an option if the player agrees, though i don't think he and his agent will, a buy back clause is another option, i am so sure Chelsea will do everything possible to make sure he's not sold outrightly. That being said, does anyone think Odoi will have the playing time he's looking for at Bayern? I don't think so myself, a smaller club would fit him more for now.

Yup!  And he's young!  You have to wonder why Real wants to get rid of him.  Prolly surplus for the squad they have rn?  I don't really know much of what's going at Real tbh.

[Captain Corporate]

 I am pretty sure Real Madrid doesn't want to "get rid of him" but at the same time sometimes its not a right moment for some players. For example right now its not a good moment to fight for a jersey in Madrid, they already have a good team and they just became champions so its hard to tell the whole team and the manager this guy should be in the midfield instead of a player who was part of the champion squad. So at the end of the day if one of the players is injured and so forth and they need a midfield very direly, they would totally want Cabellos as well, but since they are doing fine right now, they see him as a good player they could make some money from. I believe they could sell him very easily and make a good income from him.

[DeathAngel]

Cebellos is ok, he’s no loss to Real Madrid though, Real are the biggest, most famous team in the world. They can & will attract much better players to wear the famous white.

I have no doubt that Odoi is a star player but the problem is that he is prone to injuries which have gotten him out of favor with Lampard.  Right now, I don't see anyone on the starting line up that he can bench. A move away from Chelsea does seem like a good plan. If the reason why he wants to leave is due to limited playing time, they he shouldn't be aiming for a big team like Bayern. I do feel that getting loaned out would be a solid option. Because, he would get the playing time he wants while still being a Chelsea player.

[fullhdpixel]

It is also not about what you want to do with a player, this is a business and even though there is a contract involved it could be voided by both parties very easily if you want it done together, or if the player wants to leave and team doesn't want him to leave, you could always say "my back hurts" and there is basically zero chance they could force you to play like that, you say that too many times in a row, or you say like my knee hurts next time and so forth and they will realize that they will not earn anything by keeping you there, plus risking of losing you for free if they wait out your contract.

So, if Odoi wants out and if he is wanted by some other team I am sure both the team and the player could find a middle ground where he can leave and keep everyone happy.

Niko Kovac, the new coach of Monaco, wants to bring 2 Croatian players,  Mandjukic and Perisic,  to the club according to this news: https://www.index.hr/mobile/clanak.aspx?category=sport&id=2200159

What do you think?
Can these players really help Monaco or it's more help to them
and their careers that are in decline?

The German Kicker once again connects Thiago to FC Liverpool. FC Bayern München is looking for €30m, while Liverpool isn't sure if Thiago fits in the team. No decision has yet been made.

Thiago wants to join Liverpool and Bayern expect around €30m. However, the English club has doubts over Thiago's age & whether he'd fit into the team. In addition, LFC are working within a limited budget, which is why they didn't sign Werner although Klopp wanted him [Kicker]

Source: https://twitter.com/iMiaSanMia/status/1286070620393033728

In my opinion it would be pretty sad for us FC Bayern fans, if Thiago leaves, but if he want to have a new experience at the end of his career that's understandable I guess.
