⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[RealMalatesta]

The ronaldo news wasn't really strictly about united but more about how Juventus was considering releasing Ronaldo. In order for that to happen there needs to be something major happen for Juventus to release someone like Ronaldo. That never really made sense to me at all, why would they gave up on him for nothing? His salary? I doubt a team that won the league for 500 times in a row now would have any economical issue to just not pay Ronaldo his salary, they can afford it surely right? So, it needs to be a personal problem and looking at Ronaldo he has always been loved by the team that he played for.

So, it really makes no sense why they would release him, but if it comes to that and they release him, in that situation United surely will at least ask him to come back and offer him something, don't know if it will happen but I know it would be at least asked.

They can't release him for the FPP Fairplay the only way is to sell him if he wants to leave but again Ronaldo is a big clickbait and they will end his 4 years contract.
If he wants to leave is another story but they need to sell him for 30ish milions.

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

It's not really an issue that they will find adequate replacement(s). I am confident that they will do so. But Alaba is only 28, he can still play some years on a world-class level. And where ever he goes, it really sucks that Bayern don't get any financial compensation for him.

Also the way Bayern is handeling the situation with Jerome Boateng isn't really how you should treat a longtime and valued player. Apparently nobody told him that they won't extend his contract and that he has to leave the club ...

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.

Just finished watching a video about him and IMO, he's an okay player but not good enough...
^{- Can't see this going through.}

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)?
~Snipped~
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

I'm already picturing his slip-ups in a Barca shirt ^{[they should trust their academy players instead]} but to be frank, he's better suited for La Liga than EPL ^{[just not for a team like Barca]}.
Some rumors:

• PSG after Ramos
  ^{- 50-50 chance.}
• Guardiola wants Haaland or Martinez
  ^{- There's no way Haaland would leave at this point so Martinez is the most realistic option.}

So many gossips here ^^
Have to gather it all in one post
Ronaldo from Juve,
Haaland to Madrid, Haaland to City?
Messi to City?
Mbappe, to Real??

[coderben]

Messi was nearly leaving Barcelona on the last transfer season. He was looking really decisive on leaving the club. I don't know how but they managed to keep him in the team. But I still think there is a high possibility that we can see him leaving the club before the start of the next season. I would like to see him in Manchester City. He could find himself again there.

Even though Haaland is eligible to release from Dortmund in 2021, which is very soon from now, he can stay there until 2024 so City's going to take Martinez instead of all the other targets available for City because I feel that Martinez won't be a financial burden on them, even though Haaland is about the same price. And Messi is definitely cheaper than both of them, he also insists that Sergio Aguero stays as a condition but they are trying to get rid of him. IMO Haaland > Martinez > Aguero + Messi.

Now who will replace Martinez for Inter, if they will even fill his spot?

What really really gets me about all these so called big clubs is how terrible they have done their normal relationship management. I know in some countries without transparency or where the state sponsors a lot of clubs, you get this lack of clarity about salaries and status but when you hear about things like this in big clubs, it really, really gets to me. They really just do treat humans like meat it seems. I would tell all those players to get out and play where they are considered like real people.

There's a lot of rumor about this crazy skilled kid erling haaland, he's been linked to numerous huge club such as real madrid, barcelona, chelsea, liverpool etc.
Real mardid ready to splash more money to bring haaland and mbappe at once which it's never in doubt when it comes to bring big names to Santiago Bernabeu... this ginna be a madness transfer if real madrid do that move.
It's been rumored that real madrid will use odegaard to ask haaland , to convince him to sign for real madrid.

I would say this transfer is a 50/50 too.

I think it is very likely he move to Man City. Of course  if Pep Guardiola will remain City's coach. City don't play very good at the beginning  of this season.. if their performance won't improve maybe they'll change  a coach?

[AakZaki]

I heard about Messi's option to move to Man City. Reportedly he will be happy and will soon move out next summer if his request is followed. Messi asked Pep Guardiola and Sergio Aguero to remain at the Etihad.

I believe the best option for Lionel Messi is Manchester City. I think he can get accustomed to the playing style of the team very easily. I also think that Manchester City can win the Champions League Cup with the help of Messi.

[Porfirii]

Lionel Messi plus Pep Guardiola in Manchester City is, to me, a win-win.

Let's see what happens eventually, it seems that it is not the best moment for Barça, so it wouldn't surprise me. Anyway, it is being an atypical year, because of the coronavirus and all, and it may be too early in La Liga to judge the team's performance.

About the Champions League Cup, it could be won if the tandem works, but maybe we're speculating too much

new rumors about David Alaba, who will not extend his contract with bayern munich until 2021

PSG favorites to sign Alaba? - In contact with Real, Chelsea monitor situation

How it can be a win-win Pep+Messi?

In these 5 years, Pep spent a lot of money with Manchester City and he won not so much, especially in the Champions League I think he never went to the semifinals even he spent over 1 Billion of € in the 5 years he is there.

I think is more likely Messi to Barca and Pep beck in Spain too...

That's make sense if David Alaba will not extend his contract with Bayern, because David Alaba needs new challenges after getting
many trophies with Bayern. David Alaba does have to feel the sensation of playing in another League, like its the Premier League is
perfect for David Alaba. Moreover, several Premier League teams have started to monitor the situation, after big teams like PSG and
Real Madrid are also interested in getting David Alaba.

Moise Kean according to Fabrizio Romano is still on Juventus Radar.
They probably tried to take him back from Everton after selling him to them the last year but he ended in load to PSG.
Kean is a key player for Juventus if they can have him back because is a player raised in the "Cantera" so he is a free+1 in the Champions league players list.

Every team can bring 22+3 from Cantera players.

Last I heard is that PSG is pushing hard for Sergio Ramos. Apparently they are willing to offer a big 3-year contract and Real is offering a smaller salary and a 1+1 contract.

If they go for Ramos, they will probably skip Alaba - not even the richest clubs have enough money to do multiple big transfers anymore.

Alaba transfer will be an interesting one to track though, theoretically he fits well to a lot of clubs and is a free agent in the summer.

Dude, Moise Kean has been an absolute failure in the PL. I understand he might be required for the home grown rule but there must be an academy player who is better than him.

I think is more likely Messi to Barca and Pep beck in Spain too...

If Xavi returns to Barcelona and takes over as sports director, along with the new management, I believe Messi will stay.
The most important thing for him is to work with people he trusts and to see the promise of winning new trophies.
Pep has not stayed at any club for a long time and the existing contract with Manchester City has not been extended yet, although the contract expires at the end of this season.
Given that Manchester CIty started very badly this season as well, it seems to me that the realistic option is for Pep to definitely leave at the end of the season..
Given all of the above, the much more likely possibility is that Messi and Pep will reunite in Barcelona instead of Manchester City.
