⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[DIA7]

Well, they are trying to get Pogba 

I have heard the rumor. I hope it really happens because Juventus needs a midfielder like Pogba. If we look at the chance, it is quite open as Pogba has ever a nice story in Juventus as a shining boy before he moved to Man United. Now, it depends on Pogba, how interested him to go back again to Juventus in the next transfer window.

These rumor has been running right after Pogba went out from Juventus and I think its just fueled by fans wanting back the former Juve star, I have heard this rumor from the last 2 transfer windows but all I have seen are just news but in reality nothing is happening. Not until I see a main source or someone really really reliable I won't believe that Pogba will be going back to Juventus especially if they don't have the money to make such deal. Maybe there is a possibility but only if Juventus is willing to sell other key pieces for them to have the money for a transfer.

I don't think that United will go for Grealish now as I doubt now that Pogba could be staying in United after the summer if United have a successful season with Pogba involving he will stay that is why they will not go for Grealish yet as I only expect them to buy him only if they sell Pogba also Van De Beek already struggling to get minutes to play that is why I think Pogba is staying because if he is not he wouldn't be starting every game while VDB sitting in bench. The only player that united linked in for in January is Norwich City 20 yo right-back Max Aarons who also can play in left side. Other then that Man united will only try to trim from their squad Rojo, Romero and Jones looking to be sold while William's and Lingard is looking to be loaned.

Well it is for a reason.

- Pogba keep posting on his Instagram things in black and white for over 1 year.
- It is the same thing he did in the past when he was in Juve and he was posting things in red on his Instagram before joining Manchester United.
- Nedved said several times they are interested in the situation
- Raiola said he will leave Manchester
- Raiola said Juventus is a possibility

ah, last photo of Pogba "black and white" was during this Xmas.

I think will different result later if Manchester United success get trophy primer league and Pogba will keep stay for Manchester United, after failed from champion league many prediction Pogba will move to Juventus but now Manchester United success wake up and first standing after win last night from Aston Villa and Pogba become star player who give penalty kick for Manchester United and success scoring by Bruno Fernandes, between Bruno and Pogba look potential duet and become continue next season for Manchester United.

The news that Diego Costa came to Galatasaray is increasing day by day. I hope such a thing does not happen for galatasaray. If it comes to Galatasaray, it will be bad because they have financial difficulties, it would not be wise.

the german sports magazine 'kicker' and also the spanish magazine 'marca' reports that real madrid is ahead in the negotiations for David Alaba (fc bayern munich) - the offer is: 4-year contract with 10 mio/€ per year

Transfer rumours:

Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane has dismissed suggestions that Croatia midfielder Luka Modric 35, Spain defender Sergio Ramos, 34, and Spain utility player Lucas Vazquez, 29, will leave the club. It seems that Real still can't play without the football ''old men00 in the team. 
Manager Jose Mourinho says it would be a "big surprise" if Tottenham are busy in the January window and insists he will not ask chairman Daniel Levy for reinforcements. Surprise, surprise ... Daniel Levy has become a legend for his stinginess and has once again justified his reputation  Will that help Tottenham in his fight for the title?
Liverpool have changed their stance on Switzerland winger Xherdan Shaqiri,  and will not allow him to leave this month. Obviously Liverpool have a lot of injury problems and need every player available.
New Paris St-Germain boss Mauricio Pochettino has been linked with two of his former Tottenham players - England midfielder Dele Alli, and Inter Milan's Denmark playmaker Christian Eriksen. Will these transfers be realized?

PSG just announced it a few minutes ago.
Pochettino will be at PSG until 30 June 2022.



The polling question on this thread could be closed now

Mancester United brought in winger Amad Diallo from Atalanta. Diallo is only 18 years old and has also played 35 minutes for Atalanta and scored one goal. Diallo was born in Abidjan and has lived in Italy since 2010. Now Diallo holds an Italian passport. Mancester United had to pay an initial fee of € 21 million to sign him. At the moment, Manchester United only need to get a work permit in England. But this purchase I think is long term and I hear that he will play for U-23 Mancester United.

Well, that would probably mean that they are preparing for an eventual Ramos departure. Real wants him to stay but last I heard, they are not willing to offer a long-term high salary contract.
PSG was keen before they signed Pochettino, Ramos is still a great defender so I guess he will want him as well if he can get him.

Alaba will attract many clubs, I mentioned many times already - hope Liverpool will be among them. I'm sure we would not match the salary that Real would be offering so it might be a hard deal to pull off for the Reds.

According to rumours, Manchester Utd hopes to sign Jadon Sancho for less than 100 million pounds this season. It seems that Manchester Utd are ahead of other big clubs to sign him. But it is still not clear that whether Dortmund will let him go or Sancho would prefer going to Manchester Utd.

Before the transfer window closed last time, Jadon was pretty much interested in playing for Man Utd. Only that Dortmund didn't want to let him go so they kept raising the bar (his transfer fee) so Man Utd won't be able to afford him given the current economic situation caused by the pandemic. It's a good thing that Man Utd is still interested in getting him to old Trafford because Sancho hasn't exactly performed well this season. He seems unhappy with his stay there at the moment.

During this summer he was almost a Manchester United player, the deal went off probably for the lack of money caused by the COVID 19

15 players who will be free transfers in 2021

1. Lionel Messi (Barcelona)
2. Sergio Aguero (Manchester City)
3. Mesut Ozil (Arsenal)
4. David Alaba (Bayern)
5. Memphis Depay (Lyon)
6. Arkadiusz Milik (Napoli)
7. Angel Di Maria (PSG)
8. Julian Draxler (PSG)
9. Sergio Ramos (Real Madrid)
10. Jesse Lingard (Manchester United) --- The update has been extended by Manchester United for 1 year.
11. Henrikh Mkhitaryan (Roma)
12. Hakan Calhanoglu (AC Milan)
13. Jerome Boateng (Bayern)
14. Shkodran Mustafi (Arsenal)
15. Gianluigi Donnarumma (AC Milan)

It is very interesting to see the list of players whose contracts will expire soon in 2021, some players with high prices and also have high salaries.
What is interesting may be related to Messi's fate whether to stay at Barcelona or move, I think Barcelona should sell Messi in January. Because
Messi's salary is large and his game has decreased considerably, especially Barcelona is experiencing a financial crisis.

15 players who will be free transfers in 2021

Adding small info here.

From this year players who are in expiration on their contract can sign during the winter transfer window for free with a new team and they can leave their old team from the end of the season (1st July 2021).

I don't know if it is only an Italian change or a European change, till last year they could sing only after the end of the winter transfer market if they were in this situation.

I think that United will only try to sign Sancho this year if only they take advantage of him not performing well this season and they will try to cut off his transfer volume.
I expect from them in the to step away from Sancho and persuade his team mate Haalaand as neither Rashford or Martial have settled well enough in the number 9 role. So if it was up to me I would not go for Sancho who United have wingers yet to be tested first in that position. Like Diallo and Pellestri.

The negotiations were on quite some stages between United and Sancho in last transfer window. However, Dortmund on other hand were adamant on not going below a price tag I think which was little over 100 million Euros. United wanted to negotiated about the price tag but Dortmund never agreed to it. They gave their own deadline to United about Sancho but it never went serious for Dortmund after that deadline was also passed. It is gonna be still same if they are still going to negotiate like earlier.

Right now Diallo to United is going strong atm for United. Haven't seen any strong transfers rumours other than that linking up with United.

Actually, I think it was always like this. A player can start negotiating with another club when he has less than 6 months remaining on his current contract.
Since 99% of the contracts expire last day of June, it gives the players a chance to start negotiating on January 1st - which is the 1st day of the winter transfer window.

A lot of good players on that list, BTW. I'm really surprised City is letting Aguero go.

It's either Manchester United go to their price tag or Sancho himself request to a transfer to ManU which will ultimately pressure Dortmund on giving in their highest offer which I think didn't happen in previous negotiations as Sancho I think is ok in staying in Dortmund or maybe is looking for other competitive club. What Man United can do now is talk to Sancho or maybe give him a better offer/contract that would make him request a transfer.

[Coyster]

A lot of good players on that list, BTW. I'm really surprised City is letting Aguero go.

Is it certain that Kun Aguero is leaving City? I know his contract expires at the end of this season and he's yet to sign a new contract, but I don't think Aguero's time at the Etihad is over, he could be given an extra year at the end of this season. I'll think that for a club legend like Aguero who's leaving on good terms, the club should update fans when they are certain of his last season, like it was done with Silva, and I think the club has also announced this is going to be Fernandinho's last season, but I don't think there's any statement yet on Sergio Aguero.

Aguero is going to be missed so much by City when he eventually leaves the club, Gabriel Jesus is younger, but I think Kun brings more to the team than Gabriel, if Kun leaves, then City must look for another world class striker, I don't think Gabriel Jesus is good enough to solely lead the line for a team as big as Manchester City.

[cryptofrka]

Is it certain that Kun Aguero is leaving City?
...

Well, at the beginning of the season I was sure that he will sign an extension. He was heavily used in all of Guardiola's seasons and was their main forward option throughout all his years there.
Something happened this year though, Aguero played in only 10% of all City's minutes this season. He was injured for a few games, but he was fit for the last 7 games in which he has only 2 appearances and only 27 minutes played.

He is on a big salary and in a COVID situation, maybe City will think a bit differently. They are also changing their attacking patterns a bit, often going with Ferran Torres up front.
I'd say Aguero is more likely to leave, which I would never have said 3 months ago.
