⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[ajiz138]

In terms of performance, Raphinha is not bad, there will be reasons related to the club's finances if Barcelona is finally willing to sell him. We know how Barcelona faces prolonged financial problems. It's been quite a long time and still not resolved.
Moreover, now they are also facing problems related to Dani Olmo and Pau Victor. Barcelona is not in good shape, so releasing some players might be the best option. Or bringing in players with free transfer status as usual.

Barcelona might want to sell Raphinha because of money problems not because he is playing badly. Club has been struggling with money issues for long time and now they have more problems with players like Dani Olmo and Pau Victor. Because of their money troubles Barcelona might have to sell some players or find new players who do not cost anything to sign. This could be smart move to help club be more stable and competitive in future.

Barcelona sell players but buy players at high prices again it will not cover their financial problems, which continue to be burdened. What about Frankie De Jong is Barcelona unable to sell him? I think Rapinha is still needed because he's pretty good right now whereas I don't see De Jong being better than Rapinha.
But the problem is probably now how Barcelona have to recover in order to sign up Dani Olmo and Victor.

Barcelona management are doing everything within their capacity to ensure they pay off these trembling debts that have been one major setbacks for the club. They're dormant and having no ruling steps to follow especially when it involves signing players in the transfer window. This is not the first time Barcelona are struggling to win matches, I've experienced and watch the club all these years. They're absolutely working hard enough to ensure they sealed their places and standing odds just like Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. Raphinha to be on the lists of players that their sell-clause will be triggered? Well it's all in the hands of Joan Laporta and Hansi Flick because this player have been significantly important for the club's performance and stats. He's making long runs to ensure he's having one of the very best performance in the team, one of the efficient players in the frontline.

For me this is not a smart move and I can only acknowledge it as such if only the player in question is already seeing off his contract and the extension is still not yet agreed maybe due to him demanding more money, yes they can simply move sell him off to other clubs so as not to lose him for free. Performance wise now Raphinah isn’t a player they should consider selling with him been even versatile to play in three different positions.
The players which are suppose to be top on the list for Barcelona to sell should be players on high wages and are currently not playing enough. One is the Frankie De Jong and secondly is Araujo; both are excellent players too but they are facing injury crisis so let the club simply cash in on them.

Do you believe it? The latest news said LFC offered TAA 5 year contract extention with 300k/per week. This sounds very big for a right back, but i'm not really sure if Liverpool does it. 78m deals looks a very lucrative offer, but he can also get a signing bonus from Real Madrid to join there for free.

I think the better for him to join in Madrid. Although, 300k salary per week is big, he can make a history in Real Madrid. I think Real Madrid can easily outbid Liverpool's offer. Come on Perez!!! show your power!!!!  

This is not an outrageous fee base on how Liverpool value him, Salah takes home more than this and I think Liverpool too might have seen that Arnold would want something equivalent to this number, I have predicted a price range of this been proposed before because this modern day players most certainly prioritize the fees than loyalty. For me this is reasonable to take off Madrid off his tail, I don’t think Madrid will offer more wages than this except maybe he will be paid signing bonuses which at Madrid it is usually huge some of money but the basic wages will be this

For me Arnold should accept this offer but his dream of winning ballon D’or will definitely go away, one more thing is he will certainly be Liverpool’s next captain and that was one of his dreams so he might consider staying

Barcelona is facing significant financial challenges and also serious problems related to Dani Olmo and also Pau Victor at the moment, so selling players such as Raphinha, de jong and also Christensen can be one way to reduce the financial burden of the club especially they are still in demand by many teams although they are not have a significant contribution for Barcelona so far,  even in the near time Barcelona will appeal to the court after the RFEF did not accept the registration of Dani Olmo and Pau Victor for the second time this season due financial problems and the salary burden that they have, currently it is actually not the recruitment fee that is the main problem of Barcelona but their poor finances and also the large spending burden allows Barcelona to not be able to register new players.

[reagansimms]

17 goals and 8 assists has been proven Raphinha is one of Barcelona best player of this season and in the term of scores goals Raphinha is slightly better than Lewandowski this because Lewandowski only able to scores 16 goals during this season but if the rumour is true that Barcelona want to sell Raphinha i think it's not because of his poor performance but it seems that Barcelona needs fresh funds to buy players to strengthen their squad and according to the transfermarkt Raphinha has 80 million market value so if Barcelona really sell him then with 80 million they can buy 2 or 3 new players using that money so i think this is good deal for Barcelona

At times like this Barcelona must be wiser in managing their squad. Selling Raphinha is not a way out to strengthen the squad by bringing in other players because he has developed rapidly under Hansi Flick. He must be retained in order to maintain the sharpness of the front line, selling other players is more realistic in my opinion, who have been a burden on the club, such as De Jong who has the highest salary and other players who rarely get playing time.

In a financial situation like this, Barcelona must stop gambling, they must prioritize what the club needs rather than fulfilling the desire to bring in certain players. Raphinha has been tested and has become an important player in Hansi Flick squad, while the players who will be brought in may not be able to adapt quickly to the scheme implemented by the coach.

The offer is almost the same as what Madrid actually gave but on the other hand it is something like this that Liverpool must do because after all now an attractive offer might be an option for Trent and we know that at this time Madrid is ready to even try to bid with a guarantee of his tetnunya for a regular position and a large salary so inevitably if Liverpool they still expect Trent in the squad then they must try to offer the same nominal or higher so that Trent does not lose momentum and trust in Liverpool when he extends his contract.

This is an action that makes sense to me but on the other hand this is also a progress for management because it is very rare for management to be good like this and it seems that they learned from past mistakes when they could not keep several star players including Mane when the new deal they offered was too little so they are trying more now in the hope that Trent will remain in the squad for the future.

Financial problems do not leave Barcelona alone and this will definitely lead to new problems, If they lose Olmo and sell Rafinha, the team will be weakened, namely, Barcelona's attack will be weakened. It is sad that Flick cannot just focus on the team and on achieving results, but must think about which players to sell in order to cope with financial problems. In such conditions, it will be even more difficult to compete with Real and Atletico.

Real Madrid might offer even more since they will be getting him for free. Trent Alexander-Arnold will be confirmed since he is been pursued by two of the biggest clubs in Europe. Remaining in his boyhood club Liverpool and becoming a Galactico is indeed a complex decision to take. Most players see playing for Real as a great honour, I don't know if Trent has such a perception. Liverpool might have to do everything to keep him including promising him the captainship after the departure of Virgil van Dijk. We might see another Kylian Mbappe drama happening or a show of dedication to the boyhood club.

Barcelona financial management is still the worst among the giant Spanish clubs, they are always reckless in recruiting players. For example by giving high salaries, additional bonuses, and guarantees to a club to release players targeted by Barcelona. Barcelona financial pattern has been going on for a long time and ended in a minus. Now some players have been forced to be sacrificed again but not all of them accept the decision with an open heart. Like Dani Olmo and de Jong who are still pressuring Barcelona to fight for their status at the club.

Sadly for us Liverpool fans, I think he will join Real Madrid. He is the type that enjoys high fashion, nightclubs and fame. He is made for Madrid. He’s a totally different character to, for example, Mo Salah.

Trent is also close to Jude Bellingham away from football so that might help make his decision.

Another rumour about Barcelona. Would they really be okay with selling Raphinha to raise funds now? I don't think so honestly. If it is said for Frenkie de Jong then I wouldn't be surprised. It is obvious he is going to leave soon. 

But Barcelona can't run the risk of losing a very beneficial player like Raphinha these days. It would be a big hit to their attacking line at the same time. You know how much he has contributed to the goals so far.

Hansi Flick would stand against such decision in the first place. He wouldn't like to lose any of his best performers. By the way I have heard Lewandowski also said a thing like he would leave this summer in case the team brings another striker.

I don't think so, that Barcelona will be stupid to sell Raphinha given to his recent performance and involvement in Barcelona success so far in both the La Liga and the Champions League. I hope they won't make a big mistake to sell one of their most influential player in this ongoing season because of financial issues. In as much as Raphinha will attract a hefty transfer fee, losing him will affect Barcelona’s performance this season.

If Barcelona sell Raphinha they don't know what they are doing I swear. How can you sell a player that's already established in the club and helping the club in so many ways for a player that you don't even know, if he will be a success or flop. Barcelona shouldn't make that mistake at all, the two players they listed above that they want to buy are not doing better than Raphinha this season. Even if they are going to sell him it shouldn't be at this stage of the season, they should wait till the summer. Well let me just believe that they are all rumours and not true. Niko Williams is a good player but what if he comes in and flop? He can't do more than Raphinha is already doing at Barcelona. If Barcelona know what's good for them, they should quickly abort any thoughts of selling Raphinha who has been one of their most prolific players this season. There many players they can sell to raise money. They should leave Raphinha alone, if they don't want to get worst from their current situation.

Chiesa may leave on loan Liverpool according to rumors, but why he should do?

lets to to read bbc

Chiesa is talkting with Liverpool for a 6 months loan.
Tyrell MAlacia may land in Italy in January.
Omar Marmoush is wanted at Manchester City.
Stefan Bajcetic from Liverpool to Real Betis.

Liverpool are trying disparately to keep Alexander Arndol who has a deal with Real Madrid for next season.
It is rumored they offered 80m€ to the player for a 5 year deal.

Zirkzee wants to go back to Tiago Motta and leave Manchester united after what happened last week.
Liverpool keeps an eye on Sane if Mohamed Salah will leave at the end of the season.

Source BBC

Believe me, he has won it all with Liverpool and its crystal clear he'll go into Real Madrid and replace both Dani Carvajal and Lucas Vasquez in a flash. It will also be super dump to see Real Madrid moving for you and you'd decline the offer, woe to that player truthfully. I feel like Arnold will want to move to Real Madrid next season but this January? He'll no! They're doing what they can fo win the Premier League competition.

I wish Joshua Zirkzee all the best back to the Italian seria A. He is a great striker but will never be successful in the Premier League or with Manchester United. Sane has been linked to Arsenal also, but I see a long term replacement for Mo Salah would be perfecto. He knows the premier league quite well.

West Ham board to sack Julen Lopetegui
Julen lopetegui could now be sacked by West Ham after the crushing defeat against Manchester City on Saturday, according to James Gheerbrant.
Erling Haaland scored twice as Phil Foden and a Vladimir Coufal own-goal condemned the Hammers to a 4-1 defeat on 4 January, with Niclas Fullkrug scoring a consolation.
Lopetegui may have been hit by the final dagger of his West Ham career after yet another heavy defeat, with his sack now possible tonight, it seems.
Writing for The Times from The Etihad Stadium, Gheerbrant shared what could now happen following yet another defeat for the Irons.
“It was an afternoon when Manchester City rediscovered some of their swagger - - and, perhaps, when Julen Lopetegui’s West Ham United tenure received a final dagger,”
he wrote :
<"a clinical three goal burst either side of half time decided this contest and ensured pep's team would win two games in a row for the first time since october. but this was also a strange game whose final scoreline belied how vulnerable man city often looked and how many chances west ham created.”>

Why on earth did they even sack David Moyes, what where they thinking of? A manager who was arguably considered to be their best manager of all time, as he became the second manager in the club’s history to win an European competition. Sacking him and replacing him with Julien Lopetegui who can't even find his bearing in the Premier League after an unproductive spell with Wolverhampton from 2022 November to August 2023. Well I will say it serves them right. But let's not be carried away by the performance of Manchester City, as they produced an all round cohesive performance that blew WestHam apart at the Ethiad stadium. It was a good performance from Guardiola and his players, they are building on this victory to regain their form.

This will be a loss but if management has made some decisions, of course, we only need to see what they will do in the end because maybe this could be one of the situations to minimize the worst possible conditions for their balance sheet problems which are still very devastated until now so it is indeed releasing Raphinha even though this will be very influential especially for stability in the winger position but maybe this is still possible.

But if there are other options I think it would be more worth it to keep Raphinha and better sell some players like de Jong or Araujo who in my opinion contribute much less for now.
Moreover, for now it seems that de Jong has restarted his drama with several statements that actually cornered Barcelona so in the end instead of wasting money on de Jong's large salary it would be more worth it for them to release this player and keep Raphinha for the next few seasons.

[Frankolala]

In terms of performance, Raphinha is not bad, there will be reasons related to the club's finances if Barcelona is finally willing to sell him. We know how Barcelona faces prolonged financial problems. It's been quite a long time and still not resolved.
Moreover, now they are also facing problems related to Dani Olmo and Pau Victor. Barcelona is not in good shape, so releasing some players might be the best option. Or bringing in players with free transfer status as usual.

This could be smart move to help club be more stable and competitive in future.

If that will work for them, let Barcelona go ahead and sell him, but he has really contributed a lot to Barcelona victories. Financial crisis can make a club sell out their best players to manage the affairs of the club. I thought that De Jong was the player in their mind to sell, why Raphina. However, Raphina is a good player and I believe a big club will buy him. He might become more successful over there.

It's very risky speculation if Barcelona has to sell Rapinha to get a fresh fund but what is clear is that they will get a lot of money from the sale, it's just whether it will all be worth it for what happens afterward. We all know that Rapinha was the second goal scorer for Barcelona, so he is an important player for Barcelona and if Barcelona decides to let him go it means they are ready for the consequences.

I hope they won't make a big mistake to sell one of their most influential player in this ongoing season because of financial issues. In as much as Raphinha will attract a hefty transfer fee, losing him will affect Barcelona’s performance this season.

Of all the Barcelona players, only Raphinha has been really consistent so far. Therefore, I am not sure if Barcelona will release this Brazilian international player. Moreover, Raphinha has a special place under Hansi Flick, we can see that he has the privilege of being able to move positions. Plus, he is also often the team captain. So, his role is quite big in Barcelona at this time under Hansi Flick. However, if we look at his performance under Flick, he proved it by playing extraordinarily after being given great trust by the coach. Of course, with his impressive appearance, many clubs will be eyeing him, but if Barcelona releases Raphinha, it will be a new problem for them. Even if Barca will release some of their players, maybe some names that are often rumored will be released. Even so, if there is a club that is willing to pay Barcelona the price they want. For example, De Jong, this player is often rumored to be on the sales list. Let's see what the club and Hansi Flick will do.

You are right, some players may not be used much by Flick, but they can be released. But if the need is to pursue other players, of course, they will need quite a large fund. If I'm not mistaken when Xavi was still coaching Barcelona, ​​there was also a rumor related to Raphinha who would be sold by Barcelona. But it seems his career was saved by Flick at Barcelona. If Raphinha is really going to be sold, like you, I am also sure he will be in demand by big clubs with the abilities he has.

[Velvet78]

Yeah sure, he is ill.    It is obvious that the only reason why we don't see Rashford even among the substitutes is Amorim's not wanting to see him in his team anymore.

There are even many news out on the internet that the Red Devils are planning a swap deal between Osimhen and Rashford this month. This would really be the perfect way to get rid of him and sign a great scorer at the same time. But I don't feel like only player swap would be satisfying for Napoli. They would demand cash as well and they would be right about it too. Because clearly Osimhen is way more valuable than him now. He plays regularly and scores while Rashford can't even find a chance and has played horrible so far.
