⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[NotATether]

Juventus has rumoured will release Ronaldo, I think this is a bad decision if they are released him this january. i think Juventus still need him to take a chance to win, but he is not a players who can follow Pirlo's instruction, this is the reason of this rumour coming. However, Pirlo is new as coach, i think to early to decide about Ronaldo

Juve doesn’t really have a choice, they can’t pay for his extension. I feel like some other Series A club is going to take him. They want PSG to take him but depending on how much they are paying for Neymar they’re not going to have enough money to sign Rolando too.

^  How is Pirlo and Ronaldo's relationship tho?  There was a meme about Ronaldo not listening to Pirlo and Pirlo is not allowed to drop him.    I posted it itt.

Edit:

Could this open the possibility of Alaba moving to Liverpool this winter? His contract runs out next year and he doesn't want to extend it. So if Bayern doesn't want to let him go completely without any compensation, that could be a good deal for both sides.

I thought that Alaba would be our first pick, but from the info I've been able to gather he's not even on the shortlist.

According to rumors, top 3 picks are Leipzig's Dayot Upamecano, Brighton's Ben White and Schalke's Ozan Kabak.

Not sure what to think of them, Upamecano seems overhyped, don't really rate White and I've never seen Kabak play.

Upamecano will end in Munich, at least that's what I think. He'll replace either Alaba or Boateng. Don't know about Ben White though.

Schalkes Kabak could be very realistic. Wasn't Liverpool already interested in him during the summer transfer window? Just the question how much they'll have to pay Schalke so that they let him go. They are currently in a very difficult situation: One one hand they could need every penny because they are broke af. On the other hand they are in real danger of relegating this season and a strong Kabak could maybe help avoiding the relegation. For Schalke it becomes a matter of weighing up what helps more: A strong Kabak or the money they get for him to strengthen the team in other positions.

The currents rumour not because they are can't extend Ronaldo's contract on 2022. But, as @tokeweed mentioned above, Pirlo want to release ronaldo because he is not follow Pirlo's instruction on the training nor on the matches.

We will see what will happen, as said in the past Ronaldo with the increased sponsor's deals negotiated by his sign, costs only 15€ year as passive to Juventus.

We will see what he will want to do, and an extension in his contract will be less money/year than now at the same salary because the cost/year will be divided into more years equal to the extention.

How about another crazy scenario: Messi leaving Barcelona for Man City (https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/man-city-transfer-rumours-messi-19276998) and Rolando somehow joining United? These are rumors, and they still sound far fetched but in the rare case it happens, Premier League gets hurled into the center of the football stage with more Rolando vs Messi battles

Transfer gossip today:

Manchester United are not discussing bringing Juventus and Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo back to the club. Is this news the final end of that rumor?
Liverpool are ready to make an offer to Olympiakos for Portuguese defender Ruben Semedo, to cover for the injuries to Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez. Panic shopping for LIverpool?
Maybe they shouldn't have sold Lovren after all?
Real Madrid believe they might be able to sign France striker Kylian Mbappe for about £160m if the 21-year-old does not sign a new deal with Paris St-Germain. Will this be the transfer of the decade for Real and the beginning of a new era?
Bayern Munich defender Jerome Boateng, has admitted surprise at speculation that he could leave the club at the end of the season and join Tottenham. It seems to me that Bayern are giving up their deserving players too easily.

@Daniel91 it’s really sad if Ronaldo is not coming back, as I sincerely believed that he would be making a return to Manchester United.

Also I can’t believe it that Real Madrid can sign Mbappe for such an affordable amount, and if this transfer goes ahead then it’ll be one of the best transfers that Real Madrid has finalised since Ronaldo left.

Lastly Bayern is risking losing Alba and Boateng for free in the summer transfer window, and i believe that these two defenders will be snapped up quickly by other tops clubs if Bayern allowed their contracts to expire.

The rumor has been exist for quiet a while.
Since messi ask to trigger the clause to release him , he's been linked to manchester city becuse of the pep gurdiola relation
I am sure if messi will leave barcelona , Manchester City will be the first destination to talk about , you know it is always about money right?

I heard that the arsenal is ready to bring Yusuf Yazici he is a Lille attacking midfielder. He is a left-footed player and shares the vision of playing with Mesut Ozil. This similarity makes him called the next Mesut Ozil.

That was just a meme..  And I have no idea what's going on at Juve or the Serie A for that matter.  Lol.  I'm mostly an EPL fan.

coinlocket$ for sure knows.  But my guess is it's a money thing...  It always is.

So far we have no rumors about bad relationship between Ronaldo and Pirlo.
The team is a work in progress with missing players (broken) and it should be better in 2-3 weeks when players will come back

[NotATether]

I prefer everbody just to stop bet on football,basketball and other sports which have more then 1 players because of corona because right now it is very hard even to win something because many players have corona virus so unexpected team win the game ,it is 100x more harder then before to predict score.Better bet on tennis,table tennis,picado or MMA where 1VS1 only exist.

Think how difficult it is to get a list of players in each club with covid, I tried to search Google for one and miserably failed to find any. What you're suggesting precludes betting on almost all teams for a couple weeks. Usually the team with 2+ players on covid-leave is at a disadvantage too so hedging your bets with an opponent win is not a bad idea.

Now no one going to talk about this all because already we have some good media haulk about this before start of season and now again is all just waste of time and something masala for media if any thing like this going to happen then still have some good enough time and its need too much talk and some other formalities which are not easy to settle and about Ronaldo I sure its not going to happen as Manchester United is taking good shape and now they not need him.

As for Ronaldo, for now it is just a rumor and not confirmed news and anything is still possible.
Mbappe will probably be the most important transfer for Real in the last 10 years.
I think Bayern are really making a mistake because they let very good players leave the club.

If Mbappe can show his abilities and adapt successfully, yes, he could be an even better player at Real Madrid. I don't think it's difficult for Mbappe to adapt. Because he can prove his performance at the last World Cup. Usually, players who can play well while defending the national team, they are easier to adapt to the new coach's strategy, although there are also players who have difficulty adapting and even become the worst transfer when they have moved to other clubs, like Torres.

There are lot of teams who would love to have them both. Took a bit of shock to me after Bayern withdrew their contract offer after not coming in terms with Alaba. On other hand they never proceeded for contract extension to Boateng. That's quite some player exiting the team from defensive area. Wonder if they have thought of replacement target or have someone around replacing them.

so for JB bayern munich has surely already found a replacement and i think it is Dayot Upamecano from rb leipzig. already during the last season there were rumors that bayern should be interested in this very good central defender.
and for DA fcb will also find a very good replacement - i am quite sure of it

[tomahawk9]

Barcelona fans, where you at? do you guys rate Rudiger (Chelsea) as a good defender capable of defending the colors of the club? if not, what about Mustafi (Arsenal)? 'cause those are some of the players that Barca are interested in signing in January 🤔 at least according to the Barcelona biased newspapers like Sports https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/mercado-fichajes/barca-busca-central-low-cost-8204746

i think Barca would be doing both london clubs a favor if they sign one of them, the english will no longer have massive wages sitting in the stands but rather that money will go towards the signing of a young and top quality centre-back

That's a good target if they are targeting him. His performances in last CL made many big teams to proceed towards him.

Rudiger isn't that good but he is ok in defending IMO. Same goes for Mustafi as well but right now I would rate them both better than Lengelet or Pique. So if they are thinking of maybe try out them and replace them I would say go for it. Barcelona really need some good central defenders.
