⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[CroverNo01]

Now, the money he earns is more than enough for a normal football player to continue his life. That's why some players don't prefer to earn more money. So Mohamed Salah is one of those players who doesn't prefer money. Another example that comes to my mind is Kroos, who chose to retire at Real Madrid. The German player could have gone to Arabia and earned a lot of money, but he chose to leave football at the top. I think Salah made the right decision. He is a player who deserves to be a legend at Liverpool.

Liverpool management have made moves to extend the contract of their key players, it's good enough if you ask me. They've a list of good players that are determined to elevate the club's standards and lifting golden hands in making sure they accomplish their goals. Liverpool main player, Mohammed Salah have passion for the game and not entirely focused on monetary terms of football. He's included in the list of players that have ambition and priorities to meet up in football. Mohammed Salah reputation precedes him as a top profile player for Liverpool.

Barcelona wants to find a replacement for De Jong and then Man City wants to replace De Bruyne. Related to this, I heard that they are interested in Reijnders, AC Milan's central midfielder. His performance was indeed good, even though Milan was not able to compete well this season. I don't know for sure yet but at the moment I hear that Tijani Reijnders is still negotiating with AC Milan for a new contract.

Kevin De Bruyne has made it clear he will be leaving Manchester City at the end of the season. Manchester City will be out in search of a suitable replacement for KDB, I am not sure who their preferred option is but whoever that person will have to be good.

De Jong is being mentioned again, looks like Barcelona are ready to move on from De Jong now. Will Manchester United still be interested after Ten Hag?

Manchester must end their stupidity to keep Hojlund. Whatever how much the offer came from serie a club, they have to accepted it in order to bring a quality striker. It's a common knowledge about how Hojlund not suit them well. They have to use this momentum to sell him, then sign a good striker.
This will never come twice, and i hope they consider to release their flop striker.

Manchester United has never had this bad for attacking line. Hojlund is wasted and should be shown the way out of the club, he's a flop and I don't want Manchester United to keep him next season. He's not fit to play in a bug Club like Manchester United, a player that is not consistent and not even strong in the Premier League.

If any club is interested in him, Manchester United should not hold back just let him go, he's not good for the club. We need a natural striker that's strong and fit to fight for the club.

Manchester United definitely needs a better striker. Hojlund is still not very productive. In my opinion, Manchester United needs a finishing striker like Osimhen, Gyökeres. They also need to change their defenders. They make too many mistakes in the defensive zone and this will be a problem for them next year. The striker is a problem but more importantly the defensive zone. The Portuguese manager needs to rebuild this area next year.

He's not just unproductive6 he's terrible on the field. He's played 26 games this season in the EPL alone and scored 3 goals, that's a very poor record. But that's not even the point here, because there are strikers who don't score as much as you'd like, but they play other key roles, they take defenders behind them at some points and open the way for their partners, but here, there's none of that. He has scored 5 goals in the Europa League though, but is that worth paying attention to? I think not, the teams that play there are not of the highest level.....

Your are saying this because his not an England player, if he was an English player you wont say 100million is small for such a talented striker like Viktor, how much did Manchester city bought Gealish from Aston villa was it not 100m, so Viktor worth 100m too, any club that can pay should pay and get him, I know Arsenal won't pay such amount for him, so Manchester united is at advantage because Amorim can convinced him to join Manchester united with him as his former coach, Manchester united has a chance to sign him than Arsenal. But Manchester united won't spend such amount on him, they will negotiate the best price.

I think the criteria for getting Gyökeres to sign goes beyond player and ex manager relationship. Manchester United are very unlikely to cough out that huge amount to sign Gyökeres at the moment and if any team will be ready to pay such an amount it will probably be Arsenal over Manchester United, therefore Arsenal have a bigger advantage in regards to this deal.

I won't encourage David De Gea not to return to Manchester United. He's a club legend and legend don't hold grudges against their club. Manchester United management thought they were doing the best thing back then by supporting their then manager Eric Ten Hag. You know Ten Hag never wanted David De Gea in his team, and Manchester United management couldn't keep De Gea in the club and be paying him while it was obvious that the coach don't like him. It was only going to create more chaos in the team, so the best was to let him go. Now that the era of Ten Hag is over and the club wants their legend back, I don't see a reason why he shouldn't go back, provided they can reach an agreement that will benefit both parties.

For David De Gea to even be considering a return to Manchester United in the first place shows just how much love he has for the club especially after the controversial departure from Manchester United. His heart really lies with the club. I don’t see anything bad or wrong with his decision because in the end his happiness is all that matters.

[Antotena]

I don't think it has been officially confirmed yet, Salah's leadership role and performance in the team, his club should not let him go. He needs to be in Liverpool for at least a few more years. The fans have great admiration for Salah and Salah's contributions to Liverpool are great, I think which player will they get who will contribute so well instead of him, it seems very difficult to find someone to replace him.

I believe the rumors are true, Liverpool will make a new contract with Mohamed Salah.

Coming from Fabrizio, you should know it's comfirm but the due process isn't yet completed. The players and agents are the ones that do contact Fabrizio to give them breaf of what has been happening around their players so they can have more views and hype around them and considering how Liverpool position has been this season, they need these set of guys to bring in more boys, probably another year deal wouldn't be bad before they let go of these players.

Liverpool are on the edge of winning the Premier League and I can only imagine how it's going to be if they have remain in the Champions League and perhaps win the EFL cup they loss to New castle, they could have ask for whatever amount they want before they settled but only Premier League is what they ar bringing to the table, it is not bad but despite the odd, the club is ready to keep them with another deal, this is better if the pay is high than previous.

[Pokapoka124]

Good news for Liverpool fans!    Salah's future was really important for the team and it seems like he is staying. I didn't really think he would change his mind after making an official statement to leave the team by the end of the season.

Keeping van Dijk for one more year isn't a bad decision. He is still a useful CB. I also think Trent won't stay any longer. He seems preoccupied which reflects on his game too. It won't be nice to lose him for free but Liverpool doesn't seem to have another chance...

This is indeed good news to Liverpool supporters who initially have feared they were on the brink of losing both players along side Trent Arnold in one summer. It was rumoured that negotiations were not progressing between club and players, this news brings breath of fresh air knowing that both players are staying even though their contracts are yet to be finalized.

[dezoel]

Selling him for 50M and getting Osimhen will be a wonderful business.

It's obviously a win win solution for MU and Napoli.

Napoli has decreased Osimhen's release clause to the 55 million, which even far below from last season. it's bargain price for United to buy him out from Napoli.

It dropped to 75-80 million range, not to 55 million, that would be too small and that is not realistic. Manchester United should definitely get him, there is no questions about it and that would be the best thing they have done in many years, they need him desperately and they should pay whatever they can to get him.

Garnacho for 50 million makes no sense to me, I still like Garnacho and he is young, but Hojlund seems like he is not good enough for United, so selling Hojlund plus Antony would make 50+ million give or take, and they could get Osimhen easily that way. Plus they would be keeping Garnacho in that case too. But if Garnacho insists on being sold, then Garnacho+Hojlund+Antony trio could cover the whole cost of Osimhen, including maybe some of salary too.

The striker is a problem but more importantly the defensive zone. The Portuguese manager needs to rebuild this area next year.

There are many things that Amorim needs to fix for next season, especially the goalkeeper, because it will be useless when the team is ahead but then the goalkeeper makes a mistake that makes them lose points. And now it happened again in the Europa League against Lyon which ended 2-2, Onana's mistake made Man United fail to get three points. Amorim has time to continue to fix the squad in the rest of this season which is not in accordance with his strategy, it is better to sell it and recruit players according to the strategy he wants to implement. Because so far, the players who left Man United and played at their new clubs generally played well, very different from when they played at Man United. So this is what needs to be improved, Amorim must know the character and potential of each player so that it is easier for him to implement the strategy he wants.

Regarding the striker, I also want to say that if United fails to recruit Victor Osihmen, another Premier League club will definitely recruit him, and Man United will definitely regret it. Hojlund is not suitable to play under Amorim, so maybe it is better to sell him, especially because there are several clubs who want to buy him.

[Pokapoka124]

They still keep rumouring this but I don't believe this will happen anyway.

Ancelotti has already stated his intention to stay at Real Madrid longer. Why would he change his mind all of a sudden? I mean unless Florentino Perez decides to part ways with him...

I have also come across such comments a number of times they states Ancelotti’s interest in continuing with Real Madrid but today I came across one that if Real Madrid crash out of the champions league this season the club would consider replacing Ancelotti but honestly man has nothing to lose after all a job with the Brazilian national team awaits him all he needs to do is say yes and it will be done.

[Raflesia]

They still keep rumouring this but I don't believe this will happen anyway.

Ancelotti has already stated his intention to stay at Real Madrid longer. Why would he change his mind all of a sudden? I mean unless Florentino Perez decides to part ways with him...

It is currently possible even for Ancelotti to be fired if only the Champions League and La Liga are released so that indeed for next season his chances of staying if without a title then it is definitely difficult.

He is one of the great coaches and even with what he did at Madrid before proving that he is one of the successful coaches but the conditions in Madrid are different, Perez sometimes mercilessly cuts anyone's contract regardless of whether he has previous services or not when he is considered not too suitable for the club then he will be allowed to leave or replaced so that Madrid's conditions are maintained.
At the moment, that is possible, Madrid are in a difficult situation with La Liga currently being severely hampered by Barcelona and the Champions League being a slim chance despite leg 2, so it is possible that Perez will look for an alternative coach to replace Ancelotti.

This decision should have been taken since the beginning of the season so as not to give excessive concern for Liverpool's condition later because regardless of the age of these two players, they still contribute greatly to the club so to maintain even in the short term I don't think there is too much of a problem with that.

Although in the end Liverpool could not keep Trent Alexander-Arnold, but at least with the survival of Salah and van Dijk for next season it will have a good impact on attack and defense.
For Trent Alexander-Arnold it looks like his decision is unanimous where he will definitely still leave and currently Madrid is still one of the clubs linked to this player. This is actually risky because being in a new competition and a new club there is certainly a situation where adaptation is important but when this decision has been taken then he only needs to show his quality later at the new club.

[Pokapoka124]

Manchester United is putting Liam Delap as their priority target this summer. They are keen in buying him for 40 million, which i think is far too high from his real price, and not worth with his performance. He is still playing at Ipswich, and potentially to put for sale if his club relegated very soon.

I wonder who the heck is initiating him. He's bang average, and yet stll attracted MU's interest toward him. It's kinda strange to see that.

In my opinion Manchester United shouldn’t prioritize Delap as their one striker choice because it will be a gamble buy. If they are to sign two strikers then Delap should come in as a second choice rather than the only one choice. I think they should turn focus to Victor Osimhen if they are to sign one striker.

[SatoPrincess]

I don’t know what is going on with Liverpool, they seem not to appreciate their players. Van Dijk would have been a very smart addition to Real Madrid if not for his age. When you consider his age there is reason for Real Madrid not to consider signing him. Real Madrid have a policy with aged players, I doubt if this transfer will happen but we will see how things unfold in the summer window.

The problem is that nowadays older player don't understand that they can't keep asking for a ton of money when they are at the end of their carrier. It could be because they know there is someone willing to pay them what they ask but they also must understand that they are playing a dangerous game because do you guys remember what happened with De Gea? He was asking a ton of money and at the end he didn't play for a year and ended up signing with Fiorentina, earning way more than what United was offering him.

It is a good thing to finally see the trend that popped up out of nowhere two seasons ago that clubs began to splash big money on transfers especially on players worthy of less the amount they are priced for which is finally ending but that is that. Some players just need to be considerate with their demands late in the career for the world to be a better place.

[Nheer]

It’s reported to be two year extensions for both Salah and VVD. I am happy with that, we would struggle to replace them adequately right now.

TAA is set to leave but I think a right back is easier to replace than your captain and your main goalscorer.

This is really good news for Liverpool fans and the team entirely because these two players are actually very important players for them and playing without them would really be difficult and would be difficult to find a replacement for them. Two years extension is a huge time for the team to try and find adequate replacement for them.
Alexander Arnold has already made up his mind to leave it's a good move for him, and we wish him the best in his career. A right back is not difficult to replace but seeing one that plays like Arnold will be difficult, his passing accuracy and assists will definitely be missed.

Manchester United has never had this bad for attacking line. Hojlund is wasted and should be shown the way out of the club, he's a flop and I don't want Manchester United to keep him next season. He's not fit to play in a bug Club like Manchester United, a player that is not consistent and not even strong in the Premier League.

If any club is interested in him, Manchester United should not hold back just let him go, he's not good for the club. We need a natural striker that's strong and fit to fight for the club.

Hojlund has failed to leave up to expectations, Hojlund is a disappointment and I also think Manchester United should look for alternatives instead of sticking with him if they really want to get better they need to start by getting a better striker and also wingers too. I think I am more disappointed in Manchester United with how they make their transfers and the kind of players they go for and how much they pay to get them. Hojlund who have never scored up to 10 league goals in his career was signed for 75 million it was really a terrible deal for them.

[letteredhub]

He wants to build a squad full of stars then?    But it would cost them a lot of money... Erik ten Hag already wasted Manchester United's money over the years. If they make such a huge spending again they might turn into Barcelona's finances in the recent years.

Manchester United is lacking stability due to the unqualified players that fills the team, it's indeed a hole that needs to be filled towards next season. Right from the goalkeeper position to the attack it's absolutely horrendous. I don't know how they intend to get the money to sign star players as Amorim has emphasized but I think Manchester United doesn't really need star players but the right players to fill these loopholes else Amorim could be repeating same mistake ETH did by going after players he thought were stars.

[Pokapoka124]

I agree with you on this. It is true that they made a mistake by sending De Gea away and getting Onana, but it has been two seasons already and I do not see how De Gea would be getting back into United and helping after this age. He is 34-35 years old, and he is only getting older.

Onana was a mistake, and they should sell him as soon as possible, and they should find some other goalkeeper. The sad part about football world is that we do not have many under 30 year old great goalkeepers at the moment, not like we did back in the day. When I look at all the "expensive" goalkeepers from transfermarket, like the highest value, none of them are superstar names, none of them pop out. So United will just hope for the best when they replace Onana.

Onana is not underperforming; rather, he's performing to his best performance; I don't think Manchester United is letting him go that easy because he is not part of Manchester United's problem. He won't defend the goalpost and act like a defender at the same time. He will only act like the goalkeeper, that's it. Nothing above that.

The problem of Manchester United is from their players. If the right players are brought into the squad, Manchester United will have more match wins than loss matches.

I can agree. Onana is trying with Manchester United. If Onana had good defenders to assist him, most chances saved and goals conceded would have been avoided but the defense is weak as well as their midfield which has many loop holes and the fact that their supporters pretend not to see this is hilarious.

His heart really lies with the club. I don’t see anything bad or wrong with his decision because in the end his happiness is all that matters.

David De Gee is a very important instrument that got Manchester United their reputation in the early days of his football career and at this point considering his current state and position in this club, coming back to Manchester United will put him in a more demanding position and being active more while at Manchester United compared to the series of benches he faces in this current club, so it will be a win-win for both Manchester United and David if the deal sail through.

Man United has been unstable since few years ago, it wasn't only in ETH era. Well, I agree that Amorim needs more star players to improve the performance of Man United. However, Amorim must be careful to choose the new players because of many useless players in ETH era after they joined Man United. Amorim needs to choose the suitable players for his tactics/strategies. It is the point of choosing the new players.

I don't think Man United should sign a new goalkeeper, Onana and Bayindir are quite good goalkeepers. But they can't perform very well if Man United has weak defenders. The most problem of Man United is their defenders, they also have weak strikers. I think Amorim should focus to rebuild these lines firstly. It is better to sell old defenders, they look useless. But for the strikers, Man United only needs to sell one of them (Hojlund or Zirkzee). I prefer selling Zirkzee, he seems not suitable with Amorim's game style.

Ruben Amorim desire to build squad depth with star players will hinge on their success in securing a Champions League spot next season. Their moves in the summer transfer window will be hampered if they fail to achieve this, besides also depending on the players who will be released. As is well known, the majority of Manchester United players market value has now decreased due to their poor performances, and in my opinion, they won't gain much profit from that approach.
If Manchester United manages to push one or two of their players to move to the Saudi Pro League, that step might help smooth the way for Ruben Amorim plan to build squad depth. A total overhaul is indeed a must, but it all also depends on Sir Jim Ratcliffe decision.
