⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Inwestour]

It seems that this transfer will not happen because Real Madrid is not interested in selling Rudiger, he is also not interested in leaving Real Madrid because he feels comfortable playing there. Rudiger has been a key player for Real Madrid since joining the Spanish giants two seasons ago, winning six trophies with the club, including La Liga and the Champions League in 2023-24.
Rudiger gained Ancelotti trust after the injuries suffered by Eder Militao and David Alaba, his impressive performance in guarding Real Madrid defense made Ancelotti include his name in his plans for next season. He will remain at Real Madrid despite a big offer from Saudi Arabia, Ancelotti is very satisfied with his contribution to the defense and will keep him to keep the defense solid.

Rudiger has become an irreplaceable player in Ancelotti's team, so he will not allow him to leave the team and basically players leave Real Madrid only when they are going to finish their career, like Kroos. If we evaluate Casemiro's decisions, I doubt that he is very happy about his decision to go to Manchster United, he could continue playing in Real Madrid and winning titles, but now in Man Utd he will not even be able to play in the Champions League

Harry Maguire's future at MU is in big question. Especially after MU recruited 18-year-old center-back Leny Yoro for $68 million from Lille. MU is still planning to recruit other central defenders. Bayern Munich's De Ligt and Jarrad Branthwaite are being actively sought after by MU. Should Harry Maguire stay as Erik ten Hag no longer values ​​him?

If MU can't sell him, Harry Maguire could be out for the final year of his contract and must know that he will only get the chance to play if a player is injured.

https://www.90min.com/harry-maguire-reveals-update-man-utd-transfer-plans

I read an interview earlier today where Harry Maguire suggested that the arrival of 18-year-old center-back Leny Yoro isn't gonna limit his playing time at the club rather it'll the young defender the chance to learn from him and the other senior defenders at the club. That statement I think came from a place of absolute belief that he'll always be preferred to start ahead of Yoro but that doesn't mean that the club manager Erik ten Hag will play to his card. For Harry Maguire to remain a regular at Manchester United next season, he must prove to the manager that he's worth starting games ahead of the other center backs in the team.

Harry Maguire is a player that has been known for being persistent in terms of penury. When this guy was at his very low, he was ripped of his captain band and he was also been offered to West ham for transfer, but he insisted that he will remain in Manchester United to fight for his position. Even against everyone's believe, went through the criticism, the media war and came out victorious. He became one of the formidable forces of Manchester United defense last season. Idea for belief that they arrival of the 18 year old boy in Manchester United is not in any way going to hinder his performance. As long as I know, Maguire has a lot of experience more than the 18 year old boy. So it is expected that should be a kind of synergy between him and the young boy to enable the young boy learn from his huge experience and that little competition that is going to be created will benefit Manchester United defense.

Do you know that from the coach body language it's very obvious that Maguire is not in his plan anymore, but he is just managing to use him because there were no options for him that's why Maguire is still seeing some game times at Manchester United. Now that the coach is buying his preferred players, Maguire will go down the picking order. If Maguire was the the coach favorite there was no way he would have been strip of the captaincy at Manchester United and also offered to Westham United. No coach will treat his favourite players that way. I think it's high from time for Maguire to consider leaving Manchester United and seek for a way to revive his career elsewhere, he was a fine player before his move to Manchester United. No matter the fight he thinks he will fight at Manchester United to get back his place it won't work, because you can't impress a coach who sees nothing good in you.

It seems like Arsenal's interest in Viktor Gyökeres is still alive.    However they are said to be facing competition from Liverpool and Tottenham as well according to Football Insider.

Like I said before, Sporting's intention was to sell him only by his release clause to be bought. It is 100 million euros as a reminder. If they are still thinking the same then all of these teams might drop their interest. I also think he isn't worth that much normally but the market is like this these days unfortunately.  

All of these teams would make use of a striker like him of course. But I would like to see him signing for Arsenal especially. Because it would be like the last piece to complete the puzzle. Then they can go all-out attack for the Premier League title.

[Despairo]

Robin Le Normand from Real Sociedad move to Atletico Madrid.

He's not a superstar and not the best player in Real Sociedad, but he has good passing skill and mostly won in aerial duels. He's 27 years old and it cost only 40 Million Euros, a good signing by Atletico Madrid.

I think he will shine in Atletico Madrid and I won't be surprised if Premier League teams will interested with him.

100m euros for a player that has no good experience of the Premier League Competition? How quickly will he adapt to the Premier League Competition and also to the Arsenal squad? That's not a great idea in my own opinion. They should rather go all in for Julian Alavraz currently playing for Manchester City as he is so eager to leave Manchester City for more game time. Manchester City are trying so hard to halt the move but I don't think they can, the lad wants to play as a first choice striker.

Arsenal shouldn't make such plans truthfully. And I wonder why Liverpool needs him too, don't they have Darwin Nunez? Ain't he good enough no more? These clubs are not doing things well, he is my even a proven striker in the European level and you want a club to sign him for that valuation? Jesus Christ!

Gunners knows how much they want to win the Premier League Competition this season, they should sign up a player who has a good experience of the Premier League Competition and will settle down into the sqaud immediately. There's no other name that comes to my brain than the name ( Julian Alvarez ). The Argentine is tested, approved and trusted.

I think he will shine in Atletico Madrid and I won't be surprised if Premier League teams will interested with him.

This is Atletico Madrid's attempt to anticipate the gap in the defensive line as we know in this transfer window 2-3 players in the Center-Back position left Atletico Madrid so they need to find a replacement, as you said Robin Le Normand has the ability to secure both defensive and attacking areas so 40 Million is a fair price. Real Sociedad have been fortunate to have the player since he arrived on a free in 2016 until finally they let it go at a high price. Last season Atletico Madrid's defense was less effective they conceded 43 goals while Real Sociedad only conceded 39 goals that's why Atletico Madrid is interested in this player.

At the age of 33, of course it is still possible for Manchester City to rely on him and even if he cannot be fully relied on in every match, the Manchester City coach himself also knows how to manage De Bruyne's time to keep playing in every match even though it is not full time. De Bruyne is a player who already has value and can also be the key for other players so that he is still worthy enough to be used next season by the Manchester City team, especially if his own contract still has one more season left there.

His quality is indeed not in doubt because De Bruyne has proven it, especially the style of play applied by Pep Guardiola and they must control the midfield in order to dominate the match. De Bruyne's presence in midfield can control the game and he can be the ball holder before giving a pass to the attacker. The needs of the Man City team are indeed greater in midfield because they are a typical club that dominates the game so that De Bruyne can help.

But in any case, Man City must prepare a replacement because if he is injured it will affect the pattern of the game. Like last season when he did not play, Man City's performance was slightly different and it would be quite difficult to dominate the midfield with ball possession, as a result, they will have a little difficulty in scoring goals.

Real Madrid and Rüdiger have both rejected a transfer, although there have been very good offers and especially from Saudi Arabia. If both cancel the offers from Saudi Arabia, they will not agree with other lower offers, so I am sure that Rüdiger will stay in Madrid.

Saudi Arabia clubs tabling offers for European players, it's good projects for the Asian side but most of these European players wouldn't trigger the sell clause for some pennies, they need huge profits from the sales of their players, I think we should get that. Antonio Rudiger is one of the solid defending for Los Blancos, always coming through for the club in difficulties, never letting his guards down and available when for the club. Real Madrid are keeping firm holding on their players basically the keymen because building a formidable squad requires the serving efforts of these players.

I don't know about Saudi Pro League clubs but I heard many presidents of these clubs are thinking about leaving since they have problems with the budget and the restrictions done by the Saudi football authorities. I do think they will recruit few players but without real top names.

You are correct.  Real Madrid will not sell Rudiger by mistake because he is very good and has helped the team win major trophies. Ancelotti enjoys how Rudiger is performing on the pitch, and even if Alaba returns, they will still place him because he is very strong and can battle all the big strikers that are strong, because when Real Madrid plays against Manchester City Is only Rudiger capable of holding Haaland because he is really powerful.

Ancelotti will no longer try to sell any players since the team is complete and everyone fits in. So Madrid will start next season with a full squad, and any club that challenges them will undoubtedly have big players who can compete with Real Madrid. In my opinion, any player who tries to move to the Saudi league is looking for money or does not like stress, because players who move there you will never hear their names again, unless it is Ronaldo, who is still good and winning trophies for Al Nasrry. If somebody claims Rudiger is leaving Real Madrid, he will be the subject of speculations. Because is one of Real Madrid's foremost defenders right now.

There are too many transfer rumors going on, but out of all of them I am only interested in Liverpool's competition with Spurs to win Viktor Gyokeres. If I'm not mistaken, Viktor Gyokeres has just extended his contract with Sporting Lisbon until 2028 and if you look at his current transfer value of around 65 million euros, it seems that both EPL teams will have to spend more money to be able to sign him.

I see Liverpool not being very active this summer and there have been no surprising transfers from them but if they can get Viktor Gyokeres it will be exciting news for their fans. However, I am also not sure if Liverpool want to pay a large amount for him and usually they back off first if they know about it. For Arsenal, previously they were the closest to signing Viktor Gyokeres but until now they have changed their transfer direction and no longer want him. Well for Spurs that possibility is still within reach, especially since they no longer have a productive striker like Harry Kane and it feels like Viktor Gyokeres could be the right solution to replace him. Whoever gets Viktor Gyokeres I think he would fit in well with one of these teams.

it's interesting if PSG wants nico williams, because nico williams is a player targeted by barcelona since last season but we know barcelona's finances are bad this will make it easy for PSG to bring nico williams to france,

but i think aston villa will not be able to bring raphinha to villa park, to add strength to their attack line in the champions league, because barcelona set a fairly high price and this could make aston villa think twice if they want to bring him, and it will be easier to bring joao felix for now,

because sporting lisbon set a high price for the player, and if there is an agreement to be able to bring in viktor kyokeres it will make sporting lisbon get a big profit, and it seems chelsea is also interested in being able to bring him to Stamford Bridge Stadium.

[Marykeller]

I mean Rudiger is not that bad, he is still good enough for Real Madrid. I think I agree that eventually Real will need to improve their defensive side as well, and will do fine, like they still have Carvajal for Christ sake, of course they will get younger there, but for the time being Rudiger is fine and I do not think that he needs to go. Knowing this, Rudiger doesn't want to leave, he will leave when Real doesn't want to play him, when that time comes I am sure that he will leave, and SPL clubs will still keep on trying to get him, but at the certain moment I think it is not really that important for him.

Making 10 million a year will be possible for him after a few more years, he has that name and he has that talent, it is not going to be impossible at all. What we need to look at here is that Rudiger isn't all that bad, and he can definitely continue to play at Madrid for a few more seasons.

The people who leave to go to SPL are usually people who are not finding time at the top clubs anymore, once a very crucial part of a top club, now just benched or not even resigned, so that means that we are looking for people more like Casemiro for example, which could work very well.

SPL so far only good to those who really want to earn a lot of money before they retired and for an example the players such as Neymar, Ronaldo and Benzema that these players have already to passed their prime and almost retired and they know with their condition it's almost be impossible to stayed at Europa and playing at high level of competitions so that's why they choose SPL because this league is not too competitive compared to European league such as Laliga or Serie A

About Real Madrid we all know the age some of their defender players have already above to 30 years and indeed they have to regeneration their squad by buying young players but i think they still needed senior players because with their experience these players still can makes Real Madrid defensive lines is still solid besides that senior players could being an the mentor for young player so that's why although Rudiger still not young anymore but Ancelotti still needed him

I think the rumour about Rudiger will went to SPL will not going to happend because Rudiger want to staying much longer in Real Madrid at least until his contract ended until 2026 and Real Madrid too have no plan to sell him this summer and Ancelotti might be will buy new defender players this summer but he said Rudiger will not going to anywhere because he is Real Madrid key player and next season Ancelotti is ensure Rudiger still gets one place on Real Madrid defensive lines

To sum up everything, Rudiger prefers playing for Real Madrid because of the reason that, he is widely accepted by everyone(the coach and fan base) and he has already made a name in the Real Madrid squad, so no need to go to a lesser club all because of the big offer being rendered to leave Real Madrid for SPL club.

For Rudiger thought, it is better to stay in a club(Real Madrid) where you will live a legacy as one of their best defenders recorded in winning different trophies at a prime time in football than moving to a club where your legacy in football won't be recorded, other than as one of the players who earned a huge sum of money without winning a single trophy in the club before retiring from football.
For Rudiger, career goals are his main pursuit in Real Madrid rather than being money-oriented to other clubs. Real Madrid has offered him more than enough that he can be grateful for.

https://www.90min.com/harry-maguire-reveals-update-man-utd-transfer-plans

Maguire should just leave and never look back.    One of the goals they made the Leny Yoro transfer for was to send Maguire from the team undoubtedly. Maguire is no use for this team, I have said it many times.

I can't believe how the Red Devils paid 87 million euros for Maguire... Those were really dark times of the team but now they seem to have a real owner.

I hope they make progress next season. Finishing even in top four would be a good improvement for me honestly. At leat they would return to the Champions League.

It's not that Harry Maguire didn't help the team a little. Last season, although he wasn't in the first team, he played in many matches and was very helpful to the team. Maguire still wants to stay at MU, he loves the club and believes he will get more playing opportunities this season. For Harry Maguire, if he wants to continue at MU, he has to fight for his position.

With the price of 87 million euros for Maguire and his current wages, MU is throwing money out the window. I also want to mention Antony's case, which was also nearly 100 million euros, which was even worse, it was truly a dark period for MU.

Of course, MU will progress but don't forget that other teams will also have breakthroughs and cannot be as slow as MU. To get into the top 4 is also difficult.

If we evaluate Casemiro's decisions, I doubt that he is very happy about his decision to go to Manchster United, he could continue playing in Real Madrid and winning titles, but now in Man Utd he will not even be able to play in the Champions League

Of course, Rudiger has been an important player for Real Madrid and Perez will not let him go just like that even if he gets a high offer. He also still wants to continue defending Real Madrid and win several more prestigious titles with the Spanish giants. It is very difficult for any player who is guaranteed a place in the first team to leave Real Madrid just like that, unless the club wants him to leave and accepts an offer from another club. Casemiro is one example and must be deeply regretting his decision to leave Real Madrid. During his time at Santiago Bernabeu, he was always in the starting XI and his performance was also very good, but after joining Manchester United, he seemed to lose his ability and had to accept the fact that he had to miss out on the Champions League.

After his impressive performance with Bilbao athletics and also the Spanish national team in the previous Euro, currently Nico Williams is a hot asset that is being competed for by many teams, PSG has the financial capacity to recruit Nico Williams, but problem is  that Nico Williams only interested in joining Barcelona and on the other hand Laporta has confirmed that they have the financial ability to recruit Nico Williams at this time.

Previously, Rapinha really wanted to leave Barcelona due to his bad relationship with Xavi, but after hansi flick came, Rapinha really wanted to stay at Barcelona although currently Aston Villa, Arsenal, Al hillal and al Nassr are interested in signing him, Aston Villa does not seem to be a team that will be able to meet Barcelona demand of 100 million euros, although Rapinha who is projected for replace Moussa Diaby.

Viktor Gyokeres has so far attracted the attention of many English league teams after successfully scoring 43 goals in 50 appearances with Sporting, but currently no team has serious moved to try to recruit Gyokeres from Sporting, Sporting Lisbon recruited Gyokeres for only 21 million euros, in fact now sporting has set a price of almost 105 million euros for the club that wants to sign him, chelsea which has brought in several young players currently I think will no longer be interested in getting him, because they have spent a lot of money to buy many players, it is reported that Arsenal are now starting to move to get him and has offered 60 million euros for sporting.

Well, as the player have already accepted the offer, there is no reason for the club to not let him go. It is not like Manchester City really need him badly. Manchester City has a lot of players who they can play instead of this 21 year old player. If anything, he will get a lot more playing time in Dortmund. And that’s why he will also be able to improve quickly in Dortmund. And the offer is also not bad. So  I think Manchester city should accept this offer. Maybe if the player already did not accept the offer, Manchester City could do something about it and ask for more money. But now I think that option is not available for Manchester City.

[Palakka]

Real Madrid and Rüdiger have both rejected a transfer, although there have been very good offers and especially from Saudi Arabia. If both cancel the offers from Saudi Arabia, they will not agree with other lower offers, so I am sure that Rüdiger will stay in Madrid.

Saudi Arabia clubs tabling offers for European players, it's good projects for the Asian side but most of these European players wouldn't trigger the sell clause for some pennies, they need huge profits from the sales of their players, I think we should get that. Antonio Rudiger is one of the solid defending for Los Blancos, always coming through for the club in difficulties, never letting his guards down and available when for the club. Real Madrid are keeping firm holding on their players basically the keymen because building a formidable squad requires the serving efforts of these players.

Rudiger has stated that he wants to stay at Madrid so it looks like this transfer will not happen, currently Rudiger has reached the age of 31 but his age has not affected his performance with Madrid so far, he was brought in from Chelsea in 2022 and until now he has been the main choice Madrid in midfield, previously Madrid lost Nacho who left for the Arab League so I think Ancelotti will not let their defense line be weak next season just because they lost Rudiger now, indeed  Madrid are still looking defenders players to strengthen their squad next season, so of course ancelotti not going to sell Rudiger right now even though they got a fantastic offer from Al-Ittihad, apart from that Rudiger still seems to really want to play in a league that still allows him to be called up by the German squad in the future so he will reject the offer coming from al ittihad.

At the moment what I can see and feel is that Madrid must look for several players in defense to improve the quality of their defense as well as rotations that must certainly be considered in the conditions of a busy schedule, especially with the new Champions League format which is certain that it will make Madrid get more matches than before.

Therefore, their defenders need to be added, not that they are bad in terms of defense at this time but indeed they need more players because after all this is an effort to minimize if the hurricane of injuries occurs again just like last season felt by Madrid.

With this in mind, it would be ridiculous to let Rudiger go because he is still very useful at the moment and it would actually make Madrid's job more because they have to get at least 1 or 2 defenders in the transfer season which will close in a few weeks.
