⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

If it was the infinite money cheat only, then something's utterly wrong with Chelsea. Correct me if I am wrong, but there is a number of teams in the Premier League that has spent far more than Manchester City in the last five years or so. But I am not sure though and sources differ, I am only certain that if the money hack were to be true automatically, Chelsea should be in front of Manchester City almost every single season for several years now. Manchester United also had record spending in one of the last few seasons.

It was not cheating. But, like Chelsea, the club abused a loophole in the PSR rules. I remind you that if when you buy a player, then the cost  of transfer is spread over the length of the contract. Also, when you are able to sell a player, then it's counted as immediate profit for that year's accounts. So, when Chelsea buys Jorgensen for 20 million with a 7-year contract, then it must be like 20/7. But when they sold Maatsen for 35m, and it's immediate profit for Chelsea.

You didn't understand what KTChampions was referring to when he talked about the "infinite money cheat". He didn't literally mean that any team with a lot of money cheated. He meant that in comparison to other teams, those with sheikhs backing them have essentially a "money cheat" and can base their success on unlimited resources. I contradicted and said if it was that easy, Chelsea should have won several titles by now. PSG should have probably won the Champions League.

I am fully aware of the accounting trick that Chelsea applied, but this is not what KTChampions was talking about. That would have actually been available to any club, but Chelsea was the first to exploit it that way.

After having explored various elite European leagues, now Alexis Sanchez has returned to his first club in Europe, where he previously played for during the 2006-2011 period. Alexis Sanchez rejoined Udinese after his contract expired with Inter Milan, signing a two-year deal until June 30, 2026. He is still able to compete at a high level even though he is already 35 years old, Udinese is also very lucky to be able to bring back their former player for free after strengthening a different club in a different League. Now he has returned home, maybe he will also retire there after his contract ends.

Alexis Sanchez's performance is definitely not as good as before due to his age, which can be said to be no longer young, but his playing ability is still worthy of being brought back by Udinese. Now he will play two seasons there and if you look at Serie A, I am sure he will adapt easily because he already understands the pattern of play in that league. But to increase competition, perhaps Udinese needs to look at other players as competitors for Alexis Sanchez so that they can play alternately when needed.

Two seasons were enough for him to make the decision to retire, but if there is another offer as a definite step I am sure he will accept it. Now going to the Saudi Arabian League is a dream for some players who have entered old age because there they can make enough money and the clubs there are also able to provide large salaries to any player they want.

The riddle about Matthijs de Ligt seems to be starting to unfold. Sky Sport reports that Man United agreed to a price of €50 million. Reportedly in these 24 hours Matthijs de Ligt will undergo medical tests. Of course, this is also an anticipation so that Matthijs de Ligt can be registered before the closing of player registration on Thursday. It seems that de Ligt could be a helper for Yoro who was injured. Then another news is that Aaron Wan-Bissaka will go to West Ham.

Manchester United's de Ligt signing is smart. Very smart. 50 million euros? Thats cheap for a player like him. With Yoro out, they needed someone to step up, and de Ligt has the expertise.

He's played under Ten Hag at Ajax and knows his system and expectations. He played for Bayern Munich, a world-class club. He's genuine.

Imagine de Ligt, Martinez, and possibly Mazraoui. All Ten Hag guys know his style. That defense will be solid. Remember their Community Shield performance versus City? Imagine adding de Ligt.

This isnt merely a good season. This is about challenging for the title and possibly reaching the Champions League final. However Ten Hag is green and has a lot of football to play. We'll see what happens. I enjoy United's performance so far. They're winning by making the proper moves.

After going through a fairly complicated round, it is now certain that Manchester United will bring in De Ligt from Bayern Munich.

The details are as seen in the picture where Manchester United will pay 45m euros plus 5m euros add ons and this makes it one of the most expensive recruits this summer. Manchester United are required to bring in a new center back considering that Leny Yoro is certain to be absent for a very long time and this could be a solution to overcome the defense line.

In addition, this will also be a reunion for Erik ten Hag and his former player who also used to defend Ajax and it is hoped that after this Manchester United can advance without experiencing other obstacles.

For real though, after getting the deals for Joshua Zirkzee and Leny Yoro done, Manchester United had been quiet in the transfer window, reading this update brought peace to my heart because I have been worried about the season ahead.
No, the initial plan has always been to bring in two solid defenders, not because of the Injured Leny Yoro. All I'm praying/ hoping, is for de Ligt to give Manchester United solid defending duties for three months consistently before Leny Yoro jumps back in fully fit with the squad.

de Ligt knows the manager well, the project and having Lisandro Martinez andAntony will definitely help de Ligt settle in and prepare for the great season ahead. Mazraoui also has been added. I see the plans of Erik Ten Hag to make use of both Mazraoui and Dalot as fullbacks.
One more addition I'm keen to see happening would be that of a new defensive midfielder. I don't trust Casemiro like I did during his first season. Getting Top Four should be the long goal for United this season.

Manchester United definitely brought in a very good player. And I believe he is going to be very useful for Manchester United. Manchester United is actually pretty lucky in my opinion. Because this is a time when Manchester United not being able to convince a lot of players to actually join their club. and under the situation, they have actually got a very good player to join their club and they should make sure that they are able to use the player properly.

The coach has previously worked with this player. So probably it is not going to be a big problem for the coach to properly use this player. But many people thought the same thing about Antony.

I don’t think this is going to end the struggle of Manchester United. But it will probably be a little less.

I think Manchester United is doing the right thing by signing him because last year they seemed to have serious problems in the defensive area. This year De Ligt will bring some order to that area. They have quality players in the attacking side and maybe if another defender joins Manchester United they will look like a stronger and more prepared team this year.

We recently saw some news about Rodrygo the player of Real Madrid moving to Manchester City. Rodrygo is instead to Manchester City and he would like to start playing there maybe that's because of Pep Guardiola working there.
Even a few months ago, Rodrygo started talking about Manchester City and he said Manchester City is the best team in the world. This made us think Rodrygo is interested in playing for Manchester City soon. But he recently said he won't leave Real Madrid and he prefers to stay in Real Madrid for a longer time even if Guadiola calls him.

The story isn't clear as it is and by now I saw this kind of move like Rodrygo would look for a way to leave Madrid because the Mbappe move made things to turn around for the player Rodrygo. A good player that wants enough playing time doesn't need to be in the bench and it would have been better to join the Citizens because he would get more game time but I can't tell if he's even sure of leaving the 15x champions league winners, if he stays I don't see him having that energy of last season, without any doubt I think this player might force his way out from Madrid at time soon.

Just because we have Mbappé came to Real Madrid, and you believed that if Rodrygo will be benched. Rodrygo is a very important player of Real Madrid, and he was also very well developed by the club. Manchester City's offer for him won't work.

Liverpool had ever sent him an offer, but Madrid and Rodrygo rejected it. Also, his versatility gave Real Madrid more advantage.



Even if City offers Madrid 150 million, it's unlikely they'll accept. It's a degradation for Rodrygo's career if he goes to City.

Rodrygo should be very careful if he considers joining Manchester City. They are facing 115 charges for fijancial irregularities aka cheating.

I don’t think he would like to sign for a club that then gets relegated multiple divisions as punishment.
