⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

The Blues are trying to bring back Joao Felix to  Stamford Bridge  

Actually, right now Enzo Maresca is making a team for the future. And getting a player who is only 24 years old as the striker of the club is definitely going to be a good choice. But the biggest thing is all the players will have to work together. Otherwise, it is not going to work out. You know, it is Cole Palmer who carries the whole team along in every match. So I will say now going to Chelsea is a little risky decision for any player. Because the recent history of The Blues has not been very good and at the same time The Blues has not been keeping the coaches for a longer period of time. I hope that is going to change from this season.

By the way, playing in the English Premier League is definitely something that can improve a player a lot because he is always playing against a quality opponent.

Joao Felix was loaned to Chelsea two seasons ago when chelsea was have Potter and Lampard as a coach. So if Joao Felix is ​​successfully acquired by Chelsea then Joao Felix will have no difficulty adapting. although the current composition of Chelsea's players is almost 80% different from two seasons ago. And I don't think it will be difficult for Chelsea to get Joao Felix because we know Atletico Madrid also wants to let the player go. Moreover, the player himself also wants to move from Atletico Madrid. because he was always not in the Atletico Madrid coach's plans. So there is no reason for Joao Felix to stay longer at Atletico Madrid. Because if he stays then he will only continue to be loaned to other clubs.

Yeah we know Joao Felix has the ability but not all coaches can handle it as you said it takes the right approach to bring out the best performance and yeah there's no harm in trying it.  Apart from that, Joao Felix can be placed in several positions meaning this player can be relied on to replace other injured players well I'm just not so sure if Joao Felix will be the starter. I can see Joao Felix's market value continuing to decrease with each passing season even though he is a young player so the Premier League is the right place for him to get back what he has lost, how much do you think Chelsea will have to spend to bring in this player? 30 million or lower?

The problem for now is that we must be aware that the relationship between Joao Felix and Simeone is not going well because although they still try to be professional when talking about club matters (Atletico) but for personally they are not too good because they have a sense of dissatisfaction between each other which makes their relationship stretched so it will be difficult for Simeone to approach individually with a relationship like this.

Now even Joao's situation at Atletico is getting more difficult with them bringing in some of their attacking players so indirectly Atletico will be eliminated I think because Julian Alvarez and Joao have the same typical in attack and it is certain that Julian will now be chosen as a line up in attack.

During the period of Bowley's leadership there were 8 of the 13 most expensive transfers in the history of Chelsea, but it did not affect the result, or rather it did not affect in the best way, because Chelsea of Roman Abramovich's time was one of the best teams in Europe and this despite the fact that no one bought midfielders for 100 million like Enzo or Caicedo.

Seriously I also am baffled with people that actually compare Bohely era with that of Roman Abrahmovic, both spend Money but the latter spent in a more sensible manner, Abrahmovic was always signing the best players In the business not like Bohely who actually sign’s everything available, last season when I saw Bohely signing players like someone who is on a shopping spree I had thought it was because of his lack of experience and the poor season would have thought him lessons that it is not about buying players but buying the right players. This season he has been doing same thing much worse than last season, Chelsea currently have more than 40 first team players and yet no one considers them as title contenders which means he is spending wrongly again. One key thing I would say Bohely lack is that he doesn’t have a function board at Chelsea, departments lack the scouting department have been abolished by him and it is affecting the club. Seriously i don’t see Chelsea the same club like I did last five seasons ago

Joao Felix was loaned to Chelsea two seasons ago when he was still coaching Potter and Lampard. So if Joao Felix is ​​successfully acquired by Chelsea then Joao Felix will have no difficulty adapting. although the current composition of Chelsea's players is almost 80% different from two seasons ago. And I don't think it will be difficult for Chelsea to get Joao Felix because we know Atletico Madrid also wants to let the player go. Moreover, the player himself also wants to move from Atletico Madrid. because he was always not in the Atletico Madrid coach's plans. So there is no reason for Joao Felix to stay longer at Atletico Madrid. Because if he stays then he will only continue to be loaned to other clubs.

80% of Chelsea problem will be resolved once they're able to sort out the necessary problems in the backlines. Felix is experienced and knows the capable things to put in place. He's striving for a promising future ahead but it turns out that he's not having the necessary quality time to spend with his teammates in Atletico Madrid, he fallen out of the sights and favour of Diego Simeone. Joao Felix have become a prize for the Blues to grab and this will become na important bid for the Portugal international.

Maybe why Joao Felix is no longer included in coach Simeone's plans because there is a little rift between the two of them so that it is not harmonious anymore, it could be that the desire to bring Alvarez wants to get rid of Felix in a subtle way and now it's just waiting for how Chelsea will take Felix back.

As far as we know, when Felix was loaned to Chelsea, he did not have much strategy, was it because maybe the coach was not right at that time? Now there is Maresca, Felix could shine even more if he returns to the Premier league.

[Unknown01]

Rumours have been circulating for a few hours now that Al-Ahli want to take Vinicius Jr. from Real, but Real Madrid are pointing to the transfer fee stipulated in the contract, which is 1 billion euros. I can't imagine that any club would pay that amount for any athlete, not even one from the Saudi league. Even for the clubs from Saudi Arabia, €1bn is a lot of money even if they had the money to pay.

Under Enzo Maresca control, Joao Felix may be able to rediscover his best form, we know that his first period at Stamford Bridge did not go as expected. Jorge Mendes as Joao Felix agent may be tired of waiting for an offer from Barcelona, ​​while the Portuguese player wants to leave Atletico Madrid immediately, his relationship with Diego Simeone seems to be not yet harmonious. Atletico Madrid needs a large budget after successfully redeeming Julian Alvarez release clause from Man City, and recruiting Gallagher from Chelsea in a different transfer deal.

If realized, Joao Felix will extend the transfer history between the two clubs, Chelsea and Atletico Madrid have done it quite often in the past. However, Joao Felix must work hard to get playing minutes, because Chelsea current squad is quite bloated, Enzo Maresca may have difficulty giving a fair chance to each of his players. Reportedly Chelsea actually pursued Omorodion signature, but failed on the way, as did their efforts to recruit Osimhen. On the other hand, Enzo Maresca seems to be releasing several players, to balance the club finances in order to avoid FFP sanctions.

Well I agree with this. Because, however, Chelsea still needs young, experienced players. And we know that Joao Felix does have quite a lot of experience even though he is still only 24 years old. Joao Felix can always be relied on in any team when he is on loan. For example, when he was loaned to Chelsea, we saw that he became one of the most reliable players at that time, even though there were still several players who were older than him at Chelsea at that time. Then at Barcelona he was also quite reliable last season. Atletico Madrid wasted the talent of this young player so that Felix did not have much time to develop in one team. And he always has to adapt to a new team every season because he is always on loan. And I think he would be a great player if Chelsea brought him in and gave him lots of time to develop.

[Ryu_Ar1]

As far as we know, when Felix was loaned to Chelsea, he did not have much strategy, was it because maybe the coach was not right at that time? Now there is Maresca, Felix could shine even more if he returns to the Premier league.

Judging from some of the news local media that I read, their relationship has been going on for a long time because they feel that they don't really get along, especially with the perspective in a match so that both of them find it difficult to build chemistry well in a relationship that makes Joao sidelined over time.
With the presence of Julian Alvarez for next season of course this will put more pressure on Joao because he will not be able to have a big chance to be in the line up later unless maybe he only becomes a coating player especially for rotation due to a busy schedule.
Trying to sell is also difficult because the price tag is too high for Joao at this time considering Atletico also does not want to lose too much because Atletico previously bought Joao for 126 million so they don't want to lose too much with that.

There are indeed reports when Chelsea intends to bring Joao Felix at this time and it is said that Gallagher could be an option for a medium of exchange. But if that happens I think Chelsea will lose by just letting Gallagher go

Well I agree with this. Because, however, Chelsea still needs young, experienced players. And we know that Joao Felix does have quite a lot of experience even though he is still only 24 years old.

There are no experienced young players, only young players with potential.
Joao Felix is ​​no longer considered a young player, but he is an experienced player even though he is only 24 years old. In my opinion, the average age for determining young players is in the range of 16 to 21 years, the rest are experienced players.

Joao Felix can always be relied on in any team when he is on loan. For example, when he was loaned to Chelsea, we saw that he became one of the most reliable players at that time, even though there were still several players who were older than him at Chelsea at that time. Then at Barcelona he was also quite reliable last season. Atletico Madrid wasted the talent of this young player so that Felix did not have much time to develop in one team. And he always has to adapt to a new team every season because he is always on loan. And I think he would be a great player if Chelsea brought him in and gave him lots of time to develop.

Joao Felix has had good experience in La Liga with Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, ​​while he played with Chelsea for one season on loan. Chelsea could bring him in to provide healthy competition to Mykhailo Mudryk, but these two players have basically not shined much in recent seasons. Joao Felix was good with Barcelona, ​​but unfortunately Barcelona couldn't afford to pay the high price to Atletico Madrid.

A player like Joao Felix cannot continue to be loaned out to other clubs season after season when he is no such player with less quality that cannot be utilized by the team. He should try and get a permanent move to a good club and that will help in his career more because he’s a player that actually needs to be utilized well because of the so many potentials he has and we’ve seen on him when loaned to other teams. Chelsea is a good destination for him, with his prior experience there, he can easily adapt to the nature of football there and even though little changes have occurred there, he can still adapt without taking much time for that to happen. If a coach shows that he does not needs you and you’re not part of his plans, you’ve two choice from that moment. You either continue staying in the club on bench or you move to another club to try your luck there.

[baeva]

I don't think they'll find a full time replacement for him in the end. To replace such a player you have to completely change the squad, which PSG categorically do not want to do. They do not want to change their transfer policy and this is their main problem, they think you can buy a player for a lot of money and only from that he will play better, but no.

With time running out in this season's transfer saga it looks like PSG will be starting with something new and I think that's well thought out by Enrique.
The plan to bring in Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia is also likely to fail this time due to the difficulty of negotiating with Napoli about the large release clause but indeed this could be a re-start for PSG so that they know what to do when there is no Mbappe in their squad as well as to see which attacking gaps are weak when they do not have a player of Mbappe's caliber who always made hopes for PSG last season.

Until now PSG has only brought 3 players whose positions are only in defense and midfield and this is clearly a little lame with the loss of Mbappe in attack. But even so PSG can also still take advantage of existing players and slightly change the scheme where Mbappe's position can be filled with several young players like Barcola or change the formation where 3 strikers who are always a mainstay are changed to 2 strikers because they also still have good strikers like Ramos and Asensio.

I don't deny the fact that PSG may change dramatically after Mbappe leaves, the only question is in which direction, because it's quite possible that they may not develop adequate tactics for the new season without Mbappe and then their results will be lame at least at the beginning of the season. Although they have no competitors in Ligue 1 you could say

[Sexylizzy2813]

The Osimhen and Lukaku switch is one move I would want to happen now that Chelsea has finally opened their eyes to get the man Joao Felix, this has been a deal I want Chelsea to go for at least they can say they have a creative midfielder and not those guys who choose to run from end to end of the pitch. For Osimhen he said he wants to leave the club (Napoli) and Lukaku has been a pain in the neck of Chelsea since his come back from Inter Milan to Stanford Bridge, he hasn't been the player that wants to play for Chelsea and now we can see a switch that's having something stopping it from happening since better part of last month.
It won't be that bad to have both Osimhen and Lukaku on the same team (Napoli) but from what I heard in the news, their wages are going to affect the club, one has to go for the other to come in. I feel something big should happen let's forget about these guys, is becoming the Mbappe move to Madrid. Napoli and Chelsea should come to an agreement let's see who will do better between both players in their respective destination.

I agree with you Joao Felix deserves better chance. He is great player who needs to play regularly to show his skills. Moving to top team like Chelsea where he is already done well would be perfect. His current coach does not think he is important, so Felix should look for new team. Sitting on bench won't help his career, but starting fresh at Chelsea could make him shine again. He is too talented to be ignored and I hope he makes brave move to change his situation.

Ligue One becomes an important league when we have the Frenchman in the league, he was popular enough to make it entertaining and competitive, we love watching Kylian Mbappe playing for Paris Saint-Germain, carrying the team's burdens on his shoulders. Kylian Mbappe was the main star in PSG and have dominated everything the club, his prowess and incredible ability made him to be formed. Paris Saint-Germain can survive without the critical aides from Kylian Mbappe who happens to be in Real Madrid jersey. Luis Enrique knows the challenges he faces and working towards resolving them becomes smooth for him.

[Litzki1990]

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.

Perhaps the move by Man City to sell Julian Alvarez to Atletico Madrid has something to do with Rodrygo, currently Manchester City still really needs a replacement for Alvarez and Guardiola sees what is needed in his squad in Rodrygo. Leaving Real Madrid is not an easy thing to do because he has everything there, but if Guardiola can give him more playing time, maybe this transfer will happen soon. He is a good player, he needs more playing time to develop his full potential, if Ancelotti cannot guarantee him a place in the first team due to Mbappe arrival, he will look for another club that can improve his quality. Manchester City is also a big club, moving there is not a bad choice for him because he can win titles with Manchester City.

But I remember when Ancelotti said that there would be no more players coming in and out of their current squad, that means it is unlikely to expect Real Madrid to release Rodrygo to Manchester City. But all that could still change when the player continues to pressure the team to immediately sell him to another team. Personally, I believe more that what Ancelotti said will happen, which is that they already have a squad that will not change again at least at the beginning of this season.
Honestly, I don't know in depth about Pep Guardiola's interest in Rodrygo, even if it is true then it is a very natural thing because in terms of ability Rodrygo is indeed a player who has very good abilities. However, it will be difficult for Manchester City to realize his move from Real Madrid, because Real Madrid itself has closed itself off from the transfer market.

After Real Madrid signed Mbappe, there were rumors that their key player Rodrygo could leave Real Madrid and join another club. The reason for this is that many people have said that Rodrygo will not get a place in the regular eleven of Real Madrid when Mbappe is in Real Madrid and if this Brazilian superstar cannot play in the regular eleven then he will not stay in Real Madrid. He was rumored to be joining two clubs that the player could go to, but now Manchester City is being rumoured. But as far as I know Real Madrid will include Rodrygo in the regular eleven and he will be in the team as an important player for Real Madrid.

Another Brazilian star Endrick may be in the irregular XI but stars like Rodrygo along with Vinicius Jr. Mbappe are certainly one of the mainstays of Real Madrid's attacking line.

Fabio Carvalho from Liverpool now joined Brentford for 30 Million Euros, I see that he's a potential player, not really sure why they want to sell him. Liverpool actually a team that usually promote the players from their Academy to senior team.

Actually Liverpool is looking to sign Maximilian Beier, a striker from Hoffenheim, but he's officially move to Dortmund.

Liverpool need to find a striker since they only have Nunez.

Since Fabio Carvalho joined Liverpool he has been loaned to 2 different teams Leipzig and Hull City but it seems Liverpool did not see any significant improvement so Liverpool decided to let him go meaning Liverpool already have other options, Fabio Carvalho was brought in for a fee of 9.5 million and Liverpool let him go to Brentford for a fee of 23.5 million that means Liverpool have already made a profit of more than 100% yeah that's pretty good as an investment. I also heard that Liverpool are targeting some players but so far we haven't heard any more details, for sure as you said Striker will be one of their targets also some defenders like Martin Zubimendi.

PSG remain the favorites in Ligue 1 after Mbappe's departure. Luis Enrique will likely have more freedom in managing his team because he won't feel pressured by just one particular player.

[Mr.right85]

There are speculations linking Kingsley Coman to Arsenal in this summer transfer window. Arsenal have gotten a defender and their fans are clamoring for a center forward but it looks like the manager is not interested in getting one. They scored a lot of goals last season without a center forward and their goal distribution is versatile.
Edu and Arteta are currently working on some targets and I understand how difficult some deals can be and their aim this season is to strengthen certain positions so they can challenge for the title.

Imo there is absolutely nothing wrong with them bringing in Coman. He's a serial winner with like 10 or 11 league titles or something outrageous like that. He's had only one serious injury and he actually knows the work of being a winger. For a loan deal, there’s no spoils.
