⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[masulum]

Milan always get the old guys, they’re trying to get back to the good times & former glory. I think it will be tough with a bunch of mid 30’s players.

Well, sometimes ages just a number, if we are back to 2011 most of AC Milan squad are old, but they can get a title. Mark van Bommel is the old players joining AC Milan on that season, but he playing well and become success transfer for Milan. Now Mandzukic so close for Milan, after more than 6 months not playing football i wish he still have good strength and still have skill to scoring goal like with Juventus.

Looks like Huntelaar have chosen to go to Schalke instead of ending his career at Ajax.

Yesterday he wasn't at the selection at the match against Feyenoord. If he would stay, they definitely would be at the selection especially against Feyenoord.

In any regards dude is a good football player and fenerbahce got a player just at 32 years old, even if they just play him for the next 1.5 years and at 34 or so tries to sell him? They could still make a decent amount. It would have to be like china or Qatar or something and it would have to wait 1.5 years so that pandemic is over, but they could still make at least 20 million euro or so.

Based on reports ^[source], it's going to be for a "three and a half year deal" and from the same source ^{[and a few others]} he mentioned playing in Turkey and the US before he retires so more or less we already know his next destination after Turkey ^[USA] but I don't think they'll be able to sell him close to that amount when he reaches the age of 36.
Rumors:

• Atletico renewing their interest in Lacazette <sup>[source]
  - I hope he stays, Arsenal really need him.</sup>
• Barcelona not allowing Neto to leave for a loan ^[source]

Before this window opened, Arsenal was looking to maybe get Stones from City but with his recent form, I think it's safe to safe that's not going to happen any time soon.

Georginio Wijnaldum will leave Liverpool for free after they didn't agree on extension of his contracts. Rumours says Barcelona wants him but Barcelona is linked to every player at the moment.

Looks like Huntelaar have chosen to go to Schalke instead of ending his career at Ajax.

Just reading an interview results from media with Huntelaar, he is not decided yet, But he also thinking about Schalke position. I think he stay in Ajax or going to Schalke, he will give a sweet memories. Stay in Ajax maybe give him a trophy, if he join to schalke and make this club safe from relegation, so he was the hero and the fans will remember it.

AC Milan will complete the deal for Tomori next week, About Mandzukic, he will be join AC Milan with short contract till end of season. I don't find any other news about after the season, I think it will depends on his performance,

Transfer news


David Beckham wants Phil Neville as new Inter Miami manager. They had a direct contact in the last hours and negotiations are now at final stages then he’ll be allowed to sign as new coach.  Chelsea are plotting a club-record bid for Erling Haaland. The Dortmund striker has a €75m release clause that can only be activated in 2022. So the German club will demand a much higher fee this summer.

It looks like Dele Alli is not happy at Tottenham and he is trying to go on a loan at PSG. Tottenham don't seem like they are convinced but PSG look like they won't give up until reaching an agreement.

According to Telegraph, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is ready to spend £200 million on the right players in this summer. One of the targets of him is Inter striker Romelu Lukaku (27). He could be a good choice for City as Aguero seems to be leaving the team at the end of the season and G. Jesus is not having a good season.

Yeah means that something is going around with the player, there are lot of reasons why a player isn't in squad but when transfer rumours are around then it does indicate that something is going around with the player and negotiations are being going on. However it seems like it is done deal according to : https://twitter.com/433/status/1351221138819592193

Still yet to come with the official announcement from team social handles.

Also read it in a lot of Dutch news sites. Too bad he doesn't finish his career at Ajax. The chance of being champion with Ajax is bigger then stay in de bundesliga with Schalke.

Lukaku to man city is a big rumour nothing else.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2021/01/16/pep-guardiola-oversee-man-citys-200m-summer-transfer-spree/

Lukaku is not PEp type of striker, PEp prefer ball playing striker and not just a natural standing 9, this is the same problem he is having with Ageuro. G. Jesus is a perfect kind of PEp player.

Agree, Lukaku is not a striker Pep prefers. The ideal striker for Pep is a type like Robert Lewandowski. A tall, playful and technically strong striker who has a natural understanding of match situations. But Lewandowski is too old now and I think he will end his career at Bayern Munich. Maybe he will go to the MLS for one or two years, like many do.

Joshua Zirkzee from bayern munich to fc everton?

I think it will be good for Zirkzee to go to Everton. He isn't playing that much at Bayern Munich.

Let's hope he get the change to play a lot at Everton. It will be good for players at such age to play as much as possible.

Real Madrid have signed David Alaba, this is the story written in Marca. Reportedly he got a four-year contract with a salary of 11 million Euros per year. Glad to hear this news if it wasn't just a rumor. Ramos will get a good partner in defense, or maybe in the future he can become a substitute for Ramos because of his old age. Next I think they still need midfielders and strikers to strengthen the team.

In other regular situations I am sure Huntelaar would have ended his career at Ajax if nothing else happened, however Schalke is not looking good this year and they are reaching to him as a savior for them, and probably offered him more than just money, probably some coaching chances at youth teams and all (which I am sure ajax probably did as well) and other stuff, but going to a team to save them versus staying with a team to be champions are different feelings.

When you are so sure about championship and you know that you are not the reason for it, giving yourself a challenge must feel a lot better, plus this guy has lived so many success in his life, I am sure another championship wasn't really that big of a deal, but if he goes to Schalke and manages to help the team not relegate and they stay at Bundesliga another season? That would be awesome ending for him.

Almost done for Alaba to Real Madrid as free agent.

He didn't win that much if I check his wikipage. Only one time champion with Ajax.



And of course he could be a real hero for Schalke. Let's see if you already plays against Bayern München this weekend.

Valencia is keen on bringing Juan Mata back to Laliga it will be difficult to convince OGS to let him leave as he is not even allowing Lingard to leave despite having 0 time in the EPL while Mata have clocked 336minutes from 6 features 2 of them came from the bench.
 His contract is ending at summer so if a move will happens it will cost close to nothing.
