⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Cryptmuster]

We can say something like this: Mbappe was more prominent than PSG, and this must have made the other players uneasy in the team. I think that team awareness will be fully established in place of Mbappe, who left the team, and they will be more successful with the contributions of the new player. PSG no longer mattered to Mbappe. This is frankly sad. PSG now has a period without Mbappe and they will try to make the best of it.

For Mbappe, the end of the season turned out to be difficult, he had some controversial issues regarding money with PSG (something about bonuses in the contract that had to be returned), this clearly affected his play, as a result, the last games at PSG were very weak and I see that nothing has changed at the Euro, perhaps he just needs time to rest before the new season, and now he will have such an opportunity. I don’t think that Ancelotti is very worried about this, he has many forwards who are ready to score, and if one of them has a temporary decline, it will not be a problem for the team.

It seems hiring Nico Williams can't be easy for Barcelona at all because they don't have the financial power to pay a huge amount of money for this player and on the other hand, Athletic Bilbao doesn't want to accept the offer from Barcelona to give this player away. They said Laporta should not even talk about their player. They want to keep him for a longer time in Athletic Bilbao.
While any team can hire this player for 58 million euros.

Nico Williams is one of the transfer targets that Barcelona really wanted, Barcelona is using the friendship between Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams as a way to approach William at this time, but what you say may be somewhat true because so far Barcelona has experienced  bad financial conditions and that make it possible for their has to think repeatedly before recruiting a star player whose price is quite expensive, Previously, Nico Williams market price was estimated at 60 million euros and after seeing his very consistent performance with the Spanish national team, it is likely that his price will increase drastically in the transfer market today.

The deal before seems almost impossible for the Barcelona board, but yesterday the Club president Laporta said they are in perfect position now to trigger the players release clause which is not upto £60m. According to Fabrizio Romano, the deal is upto Deco who handles transfer and the manager Hensi Flick. If both of them wants the move to happen then the president definitely will approve it since he so Much moves the boy. If you ask me this is a move I would say Barcelona needs to go all out on. Just look at the chemistry between the boy and Barcelona’s youngsters like Yamal and Pedri, he will settle into the team perfectly

Laporta has confirmed that they have enough ability to bring Nico Williams to Barcelona, ​​but would that be a good solution for Barcelona at the moment? The arrival of Nico Williams will certainly make Barcelona attack line quite dangerous next season, especially if he is partnered with Lamine Yamal in the front line, but for now Barcelona should rethink their finances and buying Nico Williams will certainly make their financial problems it will get worse later, to face next season the laporta should have the courage to believe their academy players or at least use Ansu Fati as a solution for their front line than buy nico williams.

Manchester United is moving on with their CB transfers... Branthwaite and de Ligt both are likely to come. However Everton wants a really huge sum so I'm curious about how much the Red Devils is keen on paying that.  

Honestly I would use most of my funds for CBs rather than other positions if I were in their place. Because the area they need to improve the most is defense like I said before. Both defenders mentioned are really skilled ones. I think creating a duo with them would strengthen their defense line a lot.

By the way how's it going with their possible departures? They can raise lots of funds by selling useless big earners in the squad.

According to rumors that I read, Chelsea has agreed to exchange 2 star players and a certain amount of money to recruit Oshimen. It is known that the price tag for Napoli is quite high and Chelsea is negotiating by donating 2 of their players and the players that Chelsea sacrificed are Casadei and Lukaku.
I think this is a quite profitable exchange for Napoli because it gets 2 players at once and a transfer fee, at least Antonio Conte has several options to use that players.

Chelsea consideration would not be only the price of Victor Osimhen but his wages meaning they would not continue going after him regardless of if Napoli agreed to their swap deal. The money would not have been a problem for Chelsea to sign Victor Osimhen if he was not on a high salary. Chelsea has Jackson which although many people are considering him a flop but he has a good statistics if you look at other strikers that has played for Chelsea before him in their first season. If he is being taught well, He can become a top striker for Chelsea because his problem is not the lack of opportunity to score but his conversation rates. He needs to be taught how to take this chances and what to do when in front of the goalkeeper. Instead of Chelsea throwing away money in the transfer window, they should build on what they have already.

Victor Oshimen is a star player so it is only natural that his salary is high. If Chelsea wants to bring in Oshimen they also have to be prepared for bigger expenses and maybe Oshimen will have the highest salary among other Chelsea players.

Yes, actually Chelsea already have good players in their squad such as Cole Palmer and Jackson, they both performed impressively last season.
But do you know what Chelsea is like? they feel dissatisfied if they haven't bought a player yet, while Oshimen is the player Chelsea is most interested in, even though bringing in Oshimen may not necessarily achieve success.

In my own opinion, the only thing that can make victor osimhen to Chelsea happen is if his transfer fee is reduced drastically, because due to financial fair play, Chelsea can't afford to spend more than 80million pounds on a single player, talkless of going as high as 120million dollar, unless Napoli decides to reduce their asking price to a reasonable figure Chelsea can afford for now.

Another way he can move to Chelsea is if Napoli will accept lukaku, plus a  few million box, just to drive down the initial cost of the transfer, but as it stands now, I think he is more likely to move to psg than moving to Chelsea, the only concern most of this clubs are having, that are making them to think twice about acquiring his signature is his injury record, which is very bad, and no club will be happy to invest so much on a player that is always injured, that's just the major problem.

They said Laporta should not even talk about their player. They want to keep him for a longer time in Athletic Bilbao.

I love what Athletic Bilbao is doing, Bilbao knows the value of the player and that is why they don’t want to leave the player for any team, although the player would also like to play for Barcelona but the player also wants to be the hero of Bilbao by playing for the team and win them trophies, Bilbao really like Williams and his brother and they are willing to keep them as the future players of the club, Barcelona president said that economically they can afford Williams jr, for me that sounds funny because they are going to spend a lot of money and at the end, they will continue complaining about not having enough money to sign more players.

Barcelona only likes players that they will spend a huge amount of money on and in the end they will regret it, I didn’t see anything wrong for signing the player but I think Barcelona should not spend money on the player because they are just a team that is recovering from financial problems, signing the player will make them lose money, it will be good if Barcelona use their players since Ansu Fati is back from loan and a player like Raphina, Torres yamal are there they should use them to make the team performance look good and win even a single trophy next season.

[Leviathan.007]

There are two strong teams that target the young player of Benfica, João Neves.
João Neves is getting more and more important for the teams they want to hire this player because he is just a 19 player and he can play for years also has enough time to get in better form and improve which makes this player and interesting option for some teams like Manchester United and PSG.
PSG sent an 80 million euro offer for this player but the offer was rejected by Benfica and they only let this player go for 120 million euros.

Is there any update on how their financial situation really is? The last time I heard about them they needed to fix a deficit of 130 million Euros[1] in their bank account but there doesn't seem to be any new articles on that. The latest one that I can find is talking about how difficult it is to know what's happening inside Barcelona[2] after their president rejected a lucrative deal for Lamine Yamal. I guess it's clear they have difficulties signing new players, but how much is caused by their financial situation is unclear. CMIIW.

That regret has been forgotten by PSG and building a team that is more prepared to face the challenges coming next season and forgetting Mbappe. An experience that Enrique has to face to build a team which initially relied on star players and now he has to be pressured to be able to bring PSG to compete strongly in domestic leagues as well as in major competitions without relying on a star player like Mbappe.

It's a good time to build a team with young players or build new talents from recruiting young who can contribute in the long term and it's one of the best ways than spending large amounts of money on star players who can't last long and also give big losses. Nasser Al-Khelaifi seems to have already realised that building teams with star players won't give you a reputation in the longer term and building teams of reliable young players better guarantees a better future for the team.

There is nothing to regret because the interests of the team are greater than those of the individual. In fact, in my opinion, Mbappe is just a burden for anyone and it is difficult for any coach to determine his policies on the field. Now PSG must develop a clear road map to be able to compete domestically and in Europe. I think this transfer market must really be utilized well in order to get players who match the vision. I am sure that PSG remains a big club and they will always learn from their mistakes for the sake of a brighter future for the club.

We can say something like this: Mbappe was more prominent than PSG, and this must have made the other players uneasy in the team. I think that team awareness will be fully established in place of Mbappe, who left the team, and they will be more successful with the contributions of the new player. PSG no longer mattered to Mbappe. This is frankly sad. PSG now has a period without Mbappe and they will try to make the best of it.

Mbappe leaving is for the best interest of PSG. They have been winning the domestic league without and with Mbappe. When Mbappe and the other stars were they couldn't win the Champions league, which is one only trophy that they are lacking currently. Even if Mbappe had remained there for the next season they will still not win the Champions league and they will keep paying him the big wages he has been earning there. Now with Mbappe gone, their wage bill has been reduced and they are still going to win the French league 1. So for me PSG are the one that's going to benefit on the long run. They have opportunity now to bring players that are going to be loyal to the club. It was obvious that Mbappe wasn't loyal to the club any more.

PSG has tried very hard to keep Mbappe. But Mbappe has rejected every offer of a contract extension since last season. And PSG may indeed feel lost after Mbappe left, but the club has tried their best to keep Mbappe even though in the end they failed. And now they just have to focus on finding a suitable replacement. and in the transfer market there are still many names of strikers that PSG could still bring in to replace Mbappe. And it is reported that PSG is also quite interested in bringing in Osimhen but there has been no further news about this.

And reportedly there are several players who are expected to be suitable replacements for Mbappe, namely of course first Osimhen, then Luis Diaz and then PSG is also reportedly interested in approaching Bernardo Silva. But I feel that Osimhen is the closest to coming to PSG

[bitLeap]

Mason Greenwood has no future in Manchester United. The rape, sexual assault, and assault allegations negatively affected his reputation. And the management didn't handle the issue appropriately and this caused the player to lose interest in the club. The club should just facilitate either a permanent deal or a loan for him. Getafe showed interest in signing him, however, it seems that Marseille is more serious after tabling about €25 million. But a current report shows that Marseille fans are opposing the transfer because of the dropped charges against him.

It's what it is right now. I never wanted him to go despite all of the charges but it's what's best for him, he is also trying to make sure this particular deal goes through.
Working with and for Roberto De Zebri would be a great one. He is one of the best when it comes to building with a younger squad and also positional plays. It's good to see Mason Greenwood swinging that way.

I have no issues with the management about his case. As much as I want him to stay, the hard decision to make would be for him to leave and it's good to see that they have an update on that. The same goes with the name Jadon Sancho as he will most likely join Thiago Motta and Juventus. I don't have no clue about the charges from Marseille, we'll see.

Barcelona could most likely get Nico Williams, he would be a great addition to Barcelona, I love him because he is a business footballer honestly, he has no such time to gamble with the ball.

Mason Greenwood future needs to be reorganized again, no matter what, there is no way he will stay at Man United. he will have more freedom to develop his abilities at other clubs who are willing to accept him and utilize the skills he has. Like Sancho who now looks happier, freer and feels he is truly needed. In fact players like Mason Greenwood and Sancho would be useful if they were treated more kindly, meaning that regardless of their actions breaking the rules, at least someone would be able to lead to something positive.

William Jr has chemistry with Yamal, therefore if Barcelona succeeds in bringing him in, perhaps next season's Barcelona squad will be able to surprise their rivals in La Liga.

[bitgolden]

If Osimhen leaves, replacing him with Lukaku isn't a bad idea to be fair, he has been a decent striker at Serie A for a while now and making that work is a great idea and should be done. I think Napoli is looking into something that will take a while and we could probably do something more for Napoli as well because they have some other positions that needs to be filled as well.

With Conte there I think we are looking into something that would be very good for them this season and I do not think that they are going to get anything done aside from the good top four finish, that is what the yare looking at. I mean not saying that they will do it, Just saying that they are going to be looking for that as their goal at the very least.

They have opportunity now to bring players that are going to be loyal to the club. It was obvious that Mbappe wasn't loyal to the club any more.

If seen from one side, this is true, but it cannot be denied that Mbappe's contribution to the PSG team is very large, Mbappe is one of the best players in the world so it is not easy for PSG to find a suitable replacement.

However Mbappe departure does not need to be deeply regretted, PSG is a team with strong finances, they can rebuild this team to be able to meet its targets.
I see that PSg management is too ambitious to win the CL title so they spend a lot of money, and it has proven to be a failure.
PSG management should be able to reflect on the success of Manchester City in building a team through a long process.

Now, as usual, PSG has started to aggressively recruit several players that have been rumored, and I think it will still be quite easy for them to defend the Ligue 1 title even without Mbappe.

according to the latest news it seems that Moise Kean has signed with Fiorentina, in my opinion he is a player who can do great things in Florence, I have always seen him as a listless player who at Juventus seems not to have the right space or Allegri doesn't give him gave it, however he is a player who can really make a difference in that club, his statements were: "I chose Florence and Fiorentina because they are a city and colors with many ambitions and that's what I'm looking for now so it's the thing perfect for me"
so now it's up to him to prove who he is

Difficult get regular position and seems not including with the tactician of Thiago Motta make Moise Kean have sell to Fiorentina with 18 million euro fees transfer regarding his contract remaining until June 2025. In this season,
Moise Kean have played 19 matches but most of his appearance as substitutes players without make any one goal yet and make him difficult get regular position under Allegri era. Fiorentina could be new hope for Moise Kean return back to the top performance by getting more minutes playing for next season.

In Fiorentina, Moise Kean signed contract running to 2029 with payment salary around 2.2 million euro every season, its long journey for Moise Kean after getting four year contract with Fiorentina and he must show his potential by getting regular position and scoring as many possible goals for the firsts eason.

Kylian Mbappe departure to Real Madrid was a major blow to PSG, who were always negligent in dealing with situations they could not control. Kylian Mbappe seemed to continue to feel comfortable, but after all this drama culminated, PSG finally had to accept the bitter reality and had no anticipation since the discomfort shown by Kylian Mbappe. PSG was certainly in a difficult situation from the start, even though its finances were adequate, if it didn't have good management the results would be very messy. In Ligue 1 this club will be fine, but in the UCL competition without a striker who can fill Mbappe seat, there is no guarantee that this club can survive any further. The transfer market is still open and until now Osimhen is still in an unclear situation, in my opinion PSG have to gamble by buying Osimhen to find out whether he can be the right person or not. That's the only way PSG can minimize poor performance in the UCL next season.

[Nheer]

Paris Saint-Germain are frustrated when Kylian Mbappe exited Parc des Princes stadium in the transfer window. The Frenchman forces his move to join the La Liga giant and that's a bold step for him. However Paris Saint-Germain will not give up but put more actions into obtaining more promising players. PSG president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi will always bring on solid measures to resolved the current challenges he faces.

It was a very good decision by Mbappe by forcing his way out to seek a better challenge in order to win more trophies. He has served the club well and i believe it was time for them to depart and this is something PSG should understand and move past him, they need to learn to play without certain players and understand that no player will be with them forever. They should start signing players to replace the lost players even though they can’t perfectly fill their void yet.

Victor Osimhen and Lautaro Martinez are rumored to be on the shopping list for PSG and they previously also approached Marcus Rashford but the signal for the player's move is unclear.
Of the two names, the most likely is Victor Osimhen because he doesn't really feel at home at Napoli.

Lots of players are on their target list they need to start signing them as soon as possible and not just keeping them on their transfer list. These are all good players that could bring about a start of a new experience for the club. They will spend a lot but i believe it is worth it if they want to build a competitive squad.

[bering]

There are two strong teams that target the young player of Benfica, João Neves.
João Neves is getting more and more important for the teams they want to hire this player because he is just a 19 player and he can play for years also has enough time to get in better form and improve which makes this player and interesting option for some teams like Manchester United and PSG.
PSG sent an 80 million euro offer for this player but the offer was rejected by Benfica and they only let this player go for 120 million euros.

With his current age João Neves have already to became an Benfica key player besides that he is one of the youngest player for Portugal in Euro Cup so that's why some of European clubs were interested want to buy him and actually since this winter Manchester United was attempts to bought him from Benfica even he almost moved at that time but there was no agreement on the price that made Benfica canceled to sell him and after Portugal eliminate from Euro Cup this rumour is appears again but indeed besides Manchester United it says Chelsea, PSG and even Liverpool were joining the race want to buy him and some people said João Neves game of style is similar to prime Casemiro so that's why the clubs which i mentioned above is realize to his potention and want to gets his signature especially Manchester United that for defensive midfielder Manchester United have already lost Sofyan Amrabat who return to Fiorentina and Casemiro future also still uncertain because currently he was rumoured will be leave and moved to Saudi Pro League so João Neves probably will be suitable to replaced the position of them but indeed if Benfica want to sell him they want 120 millions and we'll see which team dares to pay according to his price tag

Manchester United is moving on with their CB transfers... Branthwaite and de Ligt both are likely to come. However Everton wants a really huge sum so I'm curious about how much the Red Devils is keen on paying that.  

Honestly I would use most of my funds for CBs rather than other positions if I were in their place. Because the area they need to improve the most is defense like I said before. Both defenders mentioned are really skilled ones. I think creating a duo with them would strengthen their defense line a lot.

By the way how's it going with their possible departures? They can raise lots of funds by selling useless big earners in the squad.

I would be very happy to welcome these two players if they do come to Old Trafford and maybe this could be the answer to the defensive problems that Manchester United has often experienced in recent years. We know that currently the Red Devils are in quite a central defender crisis and only Lisandro Martinez and Harry Maguire are left who can be relied on so far.

Branthwaite and De Ligt can further strengthen the defensive line that is needed and that is why Manchester United is very adamant about bringing them both in directly. However, here we know that if an offer comes from a team as big as Manchester United, of course the value of a player will be unreasonable and that is what Everton is trying to do to gain large transfer fees from their players.

I am quite monitoring several unused players at Manchester United and they should first start talks with any clubs who are interested in these players. The reason is that if the player continues to stay, it will only use up the salary budget each season which should be an additional force to sign the desired player.

[Helena Yu]

Lolll look at the market value, for real Araujo's market value now is only 450K Euros?

I can't believe it, even he made a big mistake in Champions League against PSG in the last few months, but he's still young and can give some contribution, I don't think his market value can be so that low. That's actually a market value for players that play in small league.

Manchester United is moving on with their CB transfers... Branthwaite and de Ligt both are likely to come. However Everton wants a really huge sum so I'm curious about how much the Red Devils is keen on paying that.  

It's very obvious manchester united keen to pay everton less than what they wanted. Manchester united has sent the second offer to everton, but it's getting rejected again. The second offer was around £45 million, which is too far from what everton demanded for Branthwaite.

I think Manchester United's effort will be wasted if they keep sending small offers for Branthwaite. Everton is likely open to Manchester United if the next offer is close to the £70m.

Everton's price tag makes sense. Branthwaite carried his club last season and contributed most after Onana. Jarrad Brainthwaite helped the club avoid relegation zone.

Manchester united paid £80 for Meguire, and i don't think everton is trying to rob Manchester united. £70m is reasonable price for Jarrad Brainthwaite.

Honestly I would use most of my funds for CBs rather than other positions if I were in their place. Because the area they need to improve the most is defense like I said before. Both defenders mentioned are really skilled ones. I think creating a duo with them would strengthen their defense line a lot.

By the way how's it going with their possible departures? They can raise lots of funds by selling useless big earners in the squad.

 Agreed, united break a new bad record last season with most conceded goals in the club's history. It's really unacceptable if they will repeat the same thing in the upcoming season. I have no problems with their attacking line. But, some forwards are likely leaving Manchester United. This follows ten Hag's decision to exclude them from his future project.

I put defensive line as the top priority that must be re-assembled. This is the loophole owning by united, and it's not yet fixed.

By the way how's it going with their possible departures? They can raise lots of funds by selling useless big earners in the squad.

United has put 75% of its players up for sale this summer. But, it's hard to find buyers for them because they played so badly last season.

Paris Saint-Germain are frustrated when Kylian Mbappe exited Parc des Princes stadium in the transfer window. The Frenchman forces his move to join the La Liga giant and that's a bold step for him. However Paris Saint-Germain will not give up but put more actions into obtaining more promising players. PSG president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi will always bring on solid measures to resolved the current challenges he faces.

I don't think so because PSG have tried to keep him and in the previous season Real Madrid also made an offer for Mbappe, but PSG were able to keep him.
It's time for PSG to forget about Mbappe and they have to try to find another replacement, having lots of money and a capable coach will make PSG even stronger in the future. We need to wait for the big steps that PSG will take after Mbappe leaves for Real Madrid.

Victor Osimhen and Lautaro Martinez are rumored to be on the shopping list for PSG and they previously also approached Marcus Rashford but the signal for the player's move is unclear.
Of the two names, the most likely is Victor Osimhen because he doesn't really feel at home at Napoli.

PSG will do everything in their accordance to come back from the setback. Losing a player like Mbappe, who also happens to be the person the team was built around on is a good blow for sure. But PSG is a club who never backs down, at least not in terms of transfer business, or in terms of having good players.

They will definitely go ahead and buy a few big names and will build a squad around them. Likelihood of Osimhen going for a PSG move isn’t too unlikely, so we might see things like that happening in the coming days. Lautaro is also a big name, and did wonders in this Copa. PSG may go for him, too.
