⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Mr.right85]

Arsenal talking with PSG for Fabian Ruiz but they need to sell someone 1st.

Yeah, another top signing by Arsenal. Fabian is a quality player, but PSG was not respecting him. I think this is a good move. Partey has many issues, and Jorginho can't play many games. Ruiz would improve Arsenal's midfield. It would help the Gunners compete with City by making the squad more stable.

Fabian was brilliant in Euro tho, so if his price makes sense and i think Gunners don't mind it. I wonder how much it would cost to get him from PSG? PSG tries to cash in on him to acquire Joao Neves.

PSG would not oppose selling him for a decent fee. It would be a bargain if Arsenal acquired him for under £25 million.

It's quite strange to see that Fabian Ruiz is not part of PSG long plans, though Fabian Ruiz is a good player and appeared quite impressive at Euro 2024 where he managed to score 2 goals and 2 assists, but somehow PSG sees Fabian Ruiz in different ways (it seems that Joao Neves is what makes PSG doesn't see Ruiz). If Arsenal can really sign Fabian Ruiz, that will make Arsenal stronger because their midfield will have even greater creativity and balance, with the collaboration between Declan Rise, Martin Odegaard and Fabian Ruiz.

There are reports linking Fabian Ruiz to Arsenal but I’m not sue if Arsenal have opened discussions with PSG about him. Since the beginning of the transfer window, there have been just two names linked to Arsenal; Fabian Ruiz and Mikel Merino. They’re good players if Arsenal can get one of them. Arsenal have 3 players in the No.6 but limited options in No. 8 position.
With the way PSG are going about bolstering their squad with the addition of young players in the midfield, I’m won’t be surprised if they let go of few names to creat space for the incomings. Ruiz is 28, his experience will benefit the Gunners if they can get him. We saw how he was pivotal to Spain's successful outing in the Euro. His performance in the Euros will play to PSG advantage as they hope it’ll attract potential buyers.

It is true that Rüdiger gets an interesting offer from Al Ittihad. They offered Rüdiger with a huge salary, it is around €12m-€13m each season. However, Rüdiger has stated clearly if he wants to stay with Real Madrid. He has no interest to join SPL now, he is happy with Real Madrid. He must expect to win more trophies because Real Madrid looks stronger with a new striker, Mbappe. So even if there is a Saudi club trying to sign him, he will never accept the offer.

He already rejected the offer. You can see in this article: https://www.besoccer.com/new/it-s-not-all-about-money-rudiger-turns-down-lucrative-offer-from-al-ittihad-1324510

There's no way on earth he'll want to move outta Real Madrid, Na-da! This is not the right time, he still has enough to give Real Madrid. If I was him, I will go nowhere as much as Real Madrid wants me to stay, I will give my all for the badge until the last day with the club. Money is not everything, and even if it's a tool use to lure people, not everyone falls for that strategy.

Nacho Fernandez left Real Madrid and they're yet to sign a replacement for him and you still want Toni Rudiger to leave?! Laughable honestly!
I see they want to do to Manchester United what Manchester did to them as they have plans to hijack Manchester United target de Ligt from Bayern Munich.

Bayern Munich will obviously sell to the highest bidder but this could also be another test of loyalty to de Ligt, since he has been waiting for Manchester United to complete the deal so he can reunite with Erik Ten Hag. Hopefully, Manchester United don't snooze because he will bring so much balance for Erik Ten Hag. In between, how can one say no to Real Madrid?   This is indeed a tempting offer, hard decisions to make here, we'll see.

Kevin is not just a player, he's the engine that makes Manchester City run. Look at what happened last season when he was out - Haaland couldnt buy a goal, the whole team looked lost. Thats how important De Bruyne is.

Now, some people think Guardiola is a genius, that he can build a winning team with anyone. Thats true, to a point. But De Bruyne, he's special. He's the kind of guy who makes everyone around him better. You cant just replace that.

Every team has that one player who is very important to them that makes things happen when he is available and missed when he is not available. De Bruyne was missed when he was out injured and even Haaland couldn’t do much on his own but as soon as he came back everything changed again that’s who De Bruyne is, his impact on the team is huge and right now losing him is not an option.

Even Genius coaches needs genius players to make their work easier and that’s what De Bruyne is doing for Guadiola, if he leaves someone else might take on his responsibility and carry the team but then the longer he stays the better.

Not fully believing what he said because for me it is part of his strategy in getting the desired target players so as not to be overtaken by other clubs.

About 40% of what Pep said I believe because the existing Manchester City squad is very good for the second half of the league season this season. 60% of what Pep said is being prepared in a structured manner.
There is no way Pep will not bring in more players to pursue his target achievement for the 2024/2025 season with Manchester City.

That's right, even Pep Guardiola own future is not yet fully known, although he has hinted at staying until 2026. If Pep Guardiola stays for the next two seasons, it is clear that the Spanish coach will continue to move to recruit new players, so that he can achieve success again in the Champions League. Most recently after Pep Guardiola successfully recruited Savinho, he also denied rumors regarding De Bruyne future, saying that the Manchester City captain would stay. Meanwhile, if Enderson and Julian Alvarez leave, Manchester City will certainly move to find new players. In my opinion, the depth of the squad owned by Manchester City is very good, but their efforts to bring in new players can happen if someone leaves.

Pep Guardiola tries to remain optimistic, although he actually cannot hide his concerns that this season the EPL clubs are competing to be able to conquer Manchester City. Believe it or not, Pep Guardiola may be more appropriate as a warning that EPL clubs such as Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United Chelsea can give a surprise at any time to try to seize the English League throne from Manchester City.

I'm also not expecting Rüdiger to leave this summer. He is the best defender Real Madrid has at the moment. I don't even think it is open to discussion.    He is one of the best defenders in general these days as well. Even the most capable midfielders and strikers are having big issues against him. You would remember Haaland from last season matchup.  


When it comes to Guardiola, I think he is lying. He just doesn't want to make his plans clear obviously. Manchester City might not sign a star player maybe but they would sign some more still young talents.

Eberechi Eze has been in rumours recently for example.

[fuguebtc]

Nothing to worry, Manchester City always sign the right coach since 2009, so I believe they will find the right coach again in case Pep leave them. There's no problem with Manchester City, they're almost a perfect team and the team is rich too, so they can get any player that they want.

Manchester City doesn't like Manchester United where Manchester United is really struggling after Alex Ferguson and Cristiano Ronaldo left them.

Have you forgotten what happened to Manchester United after Sir Alex Ferguson left?
It won't be easy for another coach to become the successor to Guardiola who has managed to ink gold with Manchester City, perhaps Manchester City will suffer the same fate as Manchester United who are having difficulty finding the right replacement to become Alex Ferguson's successor. The club always hopes for something positive for the club every time they bring in a new coach, but if the coach experiences a bad start then the fans will be angry and they will demand that the club find a new coach.

There are still many great coaches available and they are still actively managing clubs and national teams, but Manchester City has to fight hard to get them because they are still under contract with other clubs. Guardiola is the most successful coach in Manchester City's history, if they are able to bring in another great coach, it might be difficult to achieve the success that Guardiola has achieved.

Looking at the coaches right now, and looking at how the coaches have been performing in recent times, it is very much possible that Manchester city falls into the same kind of situation that Manchester United did. But I think a big club like Manchester city will actually realize that and learn from the mistakes that their rivals made. They will actually bring in coaches who will be able to bring in fresh and new ideas. This is a time when football is changing. So it is going to be up to the young coaches to actually change the tactics of how football is played. Change in football is probably the biggest reason why big coaches like Jose Mourinho is not that good anymore. in 2009 he was able to win the champions league competition with a squad which had the average age over 30. Now it is it is kind of impossible.

In short, I think Manchester city will be absolutely fine if they go about it wisely. They just need to make the right decisions and not throw away money in the trashcan just like Manchester United did.

It cannot be denied but Pep Guardiola has built the Manchester City team with a strong enough framework and character so I think they do not have too much worry about it because the competition in the Premier League is always fierce every season and Pep Guardiola's job is to maintain the stability of the team and make the team stronger in the next season. Manchester City is the benchmark for other Premier League teams to be able to rise because in the last few seasons Man City has been able to dominate the Premier League.

And for the players I think Pep knows better what the team needs, it's like last season when many of Man City's core players left and many people doubted Man City but in the end they were still able to retain the Premier League title. With what Pep has done I think there is nothing to doubt anymore.

Coaches will always claim they have enough players to compete for the season, but they will still grab any opportunity to sign more players. I think coaches use this strategy as a motivational tool for the current players to make them feel that they are the best. Saying we don't want more players makes the players feel that the coach is okay with their quality.

It could also be a means to deceive other top clubs who might see them as close competitors for some targeted players. Other clubs might not be aggressive to get a player they want since a close competitor is not showing any interest in getting new players. Hansi Flick claimed that Barcelona doesn't need any new players, but the same club is doing everything possible to sign Nico Williams and Dani Olmo. I don't believe Pep Guardiola; he is a master strategist.

Each time this man talks I feel that joy whenever he says things concerning his players and himself, now he is fine with the situation at Man City and I believe him, he has his way of doing things to work for him perfectly fine and that's what other managers don't have, the ability to take control. If he says until a player leaves that's when he'll think of getting a new one then we should believe him because as it is the squad is just as strong as we know and no amount of pressure can make him start going into the market to get players that ain't suppose to be in the team.
Fine we know Pep is the Chief owner of mind games but he can't let his guide down, as it is he has a plan be which I know is going to favor him and the season is going to be tough for every clubs competing for the title but Pep has everything sorted out.

Germans are angry and they say they will now let Alphonso Davies leave Bayern Munich for Real Madrid. Recently we saw some rumors about Alphonso Davies linked to Real Madrid to play there in the next season.
Alphonso Davies is a good paler and his good performance made Real Madrid to send him an offer but Bayern Munich is trying to make him still in the team.
The contract of Alphonso Davies will end in the next year.

Actually, if you look at De Bruyne's age now, it stands to reason that the player is open his mind to every possibility that could happen because when he passed his prime time, so it's not a wrong choice if he prioritizes money above everything else. Now he has decided and will continue playing with Man City for at least the next season but one day he will definitely leave, and for this reason, Man City should start preparing a replacement from now on.

Savic's departure seems to have been very much anticipated by Atletico and this summer he left as a free agent. Savic continued his journey to the Turkish league to join Trabzonspor and considering his old age it is only natural that Atletico also did not offer him a contract extension. Apart from all that, Savic has become an Atletico legend by spending 9 years and surely all the fans left behind will be saddened by his departure.




On the other hand, it didn't take long for Atletico to find a replacement for Savic and they have just announced their new recruit and it is none other than Le Normand. Thanks to his stunning performance in the Euro with Spain, it would be very pleasant for any club that could secure his services. Le Normand was brought in from Real Sociedad and reportedly an agreement has been reached between the two parties. For the introduction of the player, it is scheduled to wait for Le Normand first who is currently still enjoying his vacation time.

Now he has decided and will continue playing with Man City for at least the next season but one day he will definitely leave, and for this reason, Man City should start preparing a replacement from now on.

De Bruyne has confirmed that he will be with Manchester City for at least another season and he said he was not interested in any offers he will serve his contract until 2025. The question is, are Manchester City not worried about losing this player for free next season? De Bruyne's current market value is 50 million and that's not small money meaning Manchester City could find a replacement for De Bruyne with that money. De Bruyne market value also continues to decline from season to season which is predicted for next season to be only around 30-40 million when he was 34 years old, I don't understand why Manchester City don't take this opportunity even though it can increase their budget.

Guardiola is not making things up! City's team is like a well-tuned machine; it's quick, effective, and ready to take over the Premier League. They have shown that they can keep going even after losing stars. Wow, that's really smart of Pep. Last season showed that they can handle pressure, even when people were doubting them

I'm not just taking the Kool-Aid. This 40% view comes from real, cold facts. It's not luck that City keeps winning in the tough EPL. It's planned out and done with great care. Things could go wrong during the trade window, but Guardiola has a point. This is a smart flex from a team that knows how to stay ahead

I do not believe Pep too.
Did anyone leave before they signed Savinho? Clubs do not only sign or bring in new players when an old one leaves. Clubs bring in new players also when they notice that some players holding some positions in the team are getting old, they may bring in younger replacements to fit into the team and make sure that the transition process from old to new player is smooth and does not affect the club.
I have heard rumors of Manchester City's interest also in Musiala from Bayern Munich.

There is still 1 more season of De Bruyne's contract at Manchester City, his contract will end in 2025 but I doubt Al Ittihad can get him because of course Man City management will not remain silent for their mainstay player, in terms of quality De Bruyne is still quite good and also his market price is still high so at least if De Bruyne leaves then there will be benefits obtained by the Manchester City team.

Personally I believe that Al Ittihad will not get Kevin De Bruyne next season or with free transfer status, De Bruyne still has very good quality and there are still many top European teams who still want him so that will be a difficulty for Al Ittihad.

We can see it on the field, from every match De Bruyne can still appear very impressive and he still shows very good playing quality so that he is not left behind by other young players.
Clearly all this shows that De Bruyne is still very worthy to stay with Manchester City and indeed there will be possibility for him to stay for few more season before deciding to move and prepare for his retirement.
But it would be much better and truly respected and even get sense of pride by everyone if De Bruyne was able to survive and retire from football by spending the rest of his time to remain Manchester City player.
Like Toni Kroos who decided to retire and spend everything with Real Madrid.

Let see what will happen to one of the best midfielders, what is clear is that seeing him succeed with Manchester City is an extraordinary pride.

In fact, the team has a basic squad. Of course, adding better players to this would be great, but even if they don't, this squad will compete for the championship in every tournament. They will continue to be one of the important candidates for the Premier League championship. Pep may have made a strategic statement or he may have told the truth.
