⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

Napoli is thinking about getting Kevin De Bruyne from Manchester City.
The player is clearly in his declining stage of the career but he can still make the difference in a slower league like Serie A.

He is going for 34yo and he should be a free agent.

What do you think about this opportunity?

Getting De Bruyne as a free agent is a smart idea. I truly support Napoli's idea in this. They get a world class player who still have skill and stamina to play. Why not?
It's getting even worthy if De Bruyne can also agree with small pay cut to his salary. This is a golden opportunity for them to sign him as a new player, though he's not young anymore.
I see no reason for them to let him go to the Chicago. Having him in the squad will also increase club's depth especially in midfield. I hope they sign him asap!!!!!

Real Betis seem to be very interested in making Anthony’s stay permanent at the end of his loan spell. Real Betis want to sign Anthony on permanent deal and will do anything to achieve this despite Atletico Madrid’s interest. The bad news is that Manchester United will want to take advantage of the situation to hike his price and get a good amount for him.

According to some current rumors, Antony is reportedly set at around 35 million for release at Manchester United but for now it does not rule out the possibility that when Antony is interested in several big clubs it is possible that his release clause will be greater than what they currently decide.

Because after all, the more interested people, the more they will be able to take advantage, especially at this time Mancheuk ster United is also in the desire to overhaul players so it is quite natural that they will aim for greater profits for the release of their players.

Now it remains to see whether this rumor will come true because I think it would be better for Antony to be released from Manchester United because even though his loan spell at Betis was quite successful but still in the end Manchester United allows not a suitable place for Antony so it will be forced to be difficult.

Of course it would be great for Napoli to get De Bruyne as a free agent. A world-class player in such conditions is a gift for Napoli but on the other hand it is a failure of City. If they have brought it to the point where De Bruyne can leave as a free agent, I think it would be worth putting such a player on the transfer market to get money for him. Unless they wanted to sign a new contract with him, then it is understandable why they did not sell him. But if that is not the case, if they wanted to let him go, then letting such a player go as a free agent is a big loss.

If you look at Napoli Midfield combination this season you will find out that they have actually been lacking the required creativity there, the most players in that squad aren’t much of a creative midfielders but rather proper central midfielders who simply carries the ball and still not better than De Bruyne at this stage too, the only Player bought to fill in that creativity void was Billy Gilmour who hasn’t played to that expectations. So seriously they need to have a creative midfielder and even at 34yo Kelvin De Bruyne is one player that standout.

One thing I have actually learned over this few years is the fact that many players have turned clutch on in their late seasons and have adapted so well that they excel more than the younger players. Seria isn’t a place new to older players coming and excelling. If we even look at the like of Inter Milan and the older players they have we wouldn’t be having second thoughts about De Bruyne.

The two worries I have though for this transfer is; one the wage needed to lure in De Bruyne will most surely be something close to €500k if not more because of his current wages and then his Injury crisis over the years which has continued to grow, considering how hard the league is it will be another thing to worry about

[Luzin]

De Bruyne's injury history and old age do not seem to be a problem for Napoli. Even the age of 33 does not make them attract desire. It seems that De Bruyne's experience and ability are the main factors. A new rumour I read Napoli want De Bruyne to join next season. Napoli hopes that the Lukaku factor can make De Bruyne come to Napoli on a free transfer. But Napoli seems to have many competitors, one of which is Aston Villa.

Vazquez is not a bad player and  he has already played over 2000 minutes for Real this season and Real have only 7 such players, but Vazquez is already 32 years old and for an edge defender it's quite a lot. Trent by position plays more like a midfielder and likes to play more in offense than in defense, unlike the same Vazquez, but apparently Real don't want to have 3 players in one position and Vazquez probably really will leave.

DefensaCentral said that besides Vazquez, Lunin, Vallejo, Mendy and even Rodrigo may leave. In fact, everything is clear except Rodrigo, who apparently will leave in order not to create competition for Bellingham, Vinicius and Mbappe.

At certain point, having experience is great, someone with more experience means they are making better decisions. This is why they keep experienced players and yes Carvajal is experienced, but that also means that we are not seeing Carvajal bringing that much to the table, because he is "too" experience, that means he is getting older. So from a point to another, experience is good, but "too" experienced means he is old.

Vazquez is on the other side of this discussion, he "could" play right back, but he could play other positions but they are not playing that much, so that means Vazquez, that has to be the most important part. That will be the most important part, that has to be the key figure here, if they fire him, that would be enough for them, they do not need him anymore. So he could be sold.

For now, regardless of the injury history, I think if KDB comes for free because his contract will expire in June, it will not be a big problem because he will still be very useful in midfield, especially for an age over 30 in Serie A, it is still considered normal, especially with the tension of Serie A which tends to be slower when compared to the EPL as a comparison for KDB now.

Many players even have a history of injuries that are even worse like Zlatan but he is still very useful when he is in Serie A. I think this situation will not be much different if Napoli can convince KDB later because they will benefit greatly if KDB is in midfield as their playmaker later.
At least with KDB's age now at 33 years old, there are still several years of contract time that Napoli can prepare if they are serious about bringing in this player.

I'm not really concerning De Bruyne's injury as long as he agree to join Napoli by getting smaller salary than what he received at City. He's been a top player, have magical pass, fourpeat EPL, one UCL trophy. No reason to pass him.
In fact, his performance is also quite stable now even after he came back from injury. I hope Napoli try to open talk with his agent before opening of summer window. It will be so bad a talented player like him wasted by joining in US.

When Kevin De Bruyne announced that he was leaving City, i actually thought he was going to leave for a less competitive league, but as more details have emerged in the preceeding weeks, and we found out that it was City that didn't give him a new contract, and KDB openly saying he can still deliver in the elite league, i think he is still going to end up in a top club in Europe.

That said, i don't think KDB would remain in England though, but i think he would leave for a top European club, maybe Bayern Munich in Germany, but we would see how things would pan out.

Kevin De Bruyne is still a player who could have suitors all over the world. He is one of the best midfielders of the last decade. He is a player who played a big role in Manchester City reaching these levels. I thought he deserved at least a retirement at Manchester City. But Pep Guardiola doesn't seem to think like us. The player, who will be free at the end of the year, is being linked to many big teams in Europe. I am sure he will be very successful in Napoli if he goes there.

I don't think De Bryune is the kind of player Napoli should be going for right now. Don't get me wrong, he was the best in his position at his peak, but right now, he's weak and injury prone. When fit, he can be unplayable, but I don't think he will ever be that again. The fact that Napoli is getting him for free is an advantage, but even at that, his signing may close the window for an even more available player.

Also, for De Bryune's sake, I'd like him to go to the MLS. The football there is not so tough and physical. With his technical ability, he might become a great player there. Theres nothing else he is looking for in Europe, he has won everything and I don't think there's anything for him there anymore.

Accepting a cut on Napoli from his initial pay he is receiving from the club he is currently playing at is hard because he is still a big player that still worth more than what Manchester City is paying him and even if his age is a kind of high there could still be Smart signing of two or three years contract as those years still has his best form and he can do as he is already doing, so actually if by age Napoli is considering to cut the pay they might not get De Bruyne because his worth has not reduce, so actually except they can't afford him if not even if is the money Manchester City usually pay him they should pay and only hire him for two season.

Napoli efforts to recruit De Bruyne would be easier if they succeed in winning the Scudetto this season. By playing in the Champions League again next season, Napoli will also have more revenue. Furthermore, letting go of Osimhen would also provide significant financial benefits, and I believe the Napoli management still has remaining funds from the sale of Kvaratskhelia last January. Therefore, Napoli would not lack funds when entering the summer transfer window to recruit De Bruyne and several other players.

The Saudi Pro League and MLS might be the last options that De Bruyne would consider, even though we know that clubs from these two leagues are capable of offering higher salaries. De Bruyne seems to still want to stay in Europe to maintain his playing quality, with the aim of being able to participate in the 2026 World Cup with the Belgian national team. Liverpool are also reportedly in the competition to secure De Bruyne signature.

Officially now it's here we go so the rumors that have been circulating are over. Just waiting for who else Madrid will bring in because they still need a lot of players to strengthen the back line. But if someone comes, there must be someone who leaves and so far the rumor about Rodrygo has surfaced to leave. I remember the regeneration process in forming Los Galacticos where there had to be players who were sacrificed.

It's official now and I think Real Madrid are lucky getting a layer like Arnold, he might not be strong defensive wise but his attacking prowess will be very useful for the team. Real Madrid needs to strengthen their team especially the defensive line, they are very weak in that department and so Arnold will help strengthen it but they still needs to add more defenders especially a Central Defender which I think they are considering also. I believe before the start of a new season they will improve their team. Rodrygo is a very fine player but unfortunately he was not in form this season and that might be why they want to dispose him, but I don't think selling him will be a wise decision because he is young and talented.

I have been seeing this news circulating on net through out the weekend but as of today there has been no concrete news or statement from club or player concerning a potential move from Real Madrid so I will assume they are all rumours and no concrete story to them. Until any official statement surfaces Rodrygo remains a Madrid player.

I think it would not be too great for Kevin De Bruyne to move to Napoli because Serie A is a physical league, and we all know that currently Kevin De Bruyne is too old and due to his old ages his injuries capacity is surging. So I think he need to stay in EPL like there is also many club in EPL who's are also in an intense push to sign Kevin De Bruyne. Mikel Arteta or Aron Slot is also intending to sign Kevin De Bruyne for his club.

Moreover, Kevin De Bruyne will be a free agent at the end of his contract, and many club are looking for him to sign him permanently for his club. In my opinion he needs to stay in EPL because he already has a experience rather than going to Napoli where he doesn't have any experience regarding through the league competition. So he needs to stay in the EPL...

That is some interesting news but I think it all depends on how much De Bruyne is offered from the Saudi clubs. There was at least some information going around that Saudi clubs are after him. Since I like to watch players like De Bruyne, Aston Villa would be a good solution as he would be more or less invisible if he goes to Saudi Arabia. Apart from the money that ends up in their pockets, I think going to the Saudi league is a waste. Aston Villa could be the right challenge at the right time for him.

Napoli probably can not get Kevin De Bruyne if they ask him to take less money. He is still really good player maybe even better than what Manchester City pays him. Even though he is getting older he could still play great for two or three years. If Napoli offers him less money just because of his age he may not sign with them because he is still worth much. So if Napoli can afford it they should pay him what he is worth and sign him for few years.

[joniboini]

Aston Villa could be the right challenge at the right time for him.

I wonder what more challenge is there for him to take on the EPL, though. He won many things with City, I guess helping a mid-table team to perform in the Champions League is one of them, but seeing him play in Serie A would be refreshing. It's quite competitive right now, and it will bring more eyes to the Serie A to some extent. That being said, I do hope he still plays in Europe instead of Saudi Arabia, simply because I can't watch any games legally in my area (I guess overseas subscription count,s but it doesn't fit my monthly budget).

Napoli do not need to spend big money to bring De Bruyne. Although his quality is still world class and his statistics will remain good until current season, but now is not him while he is young. If Napoli have to pay more for him, then it might be because they really need a creative leader who can immediately change the team game, It mean, Napoli is not just buying De Bruyne's status. There are still alternatives that Napoli can look for, before making a decision, the market still has creative midfielders who are younger, cheaper, and more productive.
