⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[slapper]

Tottenham is actively exploring Rashford's transfer. You na it's hilarious to hear this rumor. I know they might become Rashford's last choice, but only if Barcelona decides not to extend his loan. However, i don't also think he will go there, and rather to stay in MU until the end of his contract.
Logically, it's such a huge downgrade if he moves from Barca to the club like Spurs. Nevertheless, there's small chance for this transfer to happen.

I'm wondering what do you guys think about this. How big you guys think the chance for him to join Tottenham?

Downgrade? I dunno man, I think you're sleeping on what's going on here.

Barca's salary cap is getting slashed next season, like, significantly. And Rashford taking the same sitting as Pedri and Araujo while being their third choice on the left. Did you catch the Betis game? Torres gets a hat-trick, Yamal scores, even the young sub Bardghji gets one bag in - and Rashford misses a clear 1v1 and practically disappears. Spanish press gave him a 6.5 when everybody else was feasting. They're not emotionally attached to him on the other side of the world. He's just such an expensive asset which doesn't quite fit.

Now look at Spurs. Same day they beat Brentford playing a game of exactly the kind of vertical, transition-heavy football Rashford was born for. Frank doesn't need another creator. Xavi Simons handles that. He needs a runner that can take the ball 50 yards and make it in. That's quite literally Rashford's whole thing.

Players aren't the cause Liverpool is struggling to win their matches this season, and they shouldn't waste their money in bringing more players to Anfield because as long as Arne Slot remains Liverpool's head coach, Liverpool will continue to struggle this season. Liverpool has good players in all positions. If Liverpool can sack Arne Slot and hire a good and experienced coach, Liverpool's performance will take a new turn, and they will get back to the Premier League title race.

I know that when a team is not doing well, almost all the blames will be placed on the head coach, so I understand why arne slot is being targeted, but by looking at this Liverpool team, arne slot is not doing too bad, just that the result are not going his way since most of the new lads have not blended into the team properly, and that is what I think Liverpool has struggling with right now, because I can still remember very clearly how Chelsea suffered throughout beginning of last season, just because the new players they bought , and they were  trying to get to know each other, so I think that it is what Liverpool are going through right now, arne slot should be given time, and if he is given more time, Liverpool football club definitely get back on track with time,  he is not a bad coach in my own opinion, because he has earned that right in his first season at the club.

A really interesting claim on that. Rodri and Arda Güler are players who are playing in completely different roles. Rodri is a DM while Arda Güler is an AM mainly. This wouldn't be a meaningless swap. 

But of course they can still try their luck with signing the Real Madrid star anyway. However I think neither Xabi Alonso nor the team would like to let him go now. Manchester City would just need to offer a huge amount to be convincing.

What's the rationale for swapping Arda for a player who's been absent more than on the pitch this season? Imo it doesn't make sense and isn't worth the trade. Madrid doesn't need anything extra if Manchester City pays extra. Arda fits perfectly into Xabi Alonso plans, so there's no pressing need to swap him for a first-team player.

[SFR10]

Could it be Salahs way of wanting out and inviting the outside world to put in bids for the January transfers or whenever he can leave..

IMO, Salah genuinely loves Liverpool, but Slot & a few of the other coaches have problems with him... Because of the upcoming World Cup, I think he's looking for a way out to get regular minutes, but ironically, he's also trying to throw Slot under the bus ^[indirectly].

Rashford has been incredible at Barcelona so it’s likely that they will want to keep him. The only problem is his wages,

If Barcelona likes him and Rashford likes the club and already comfortable there, an agreement can be reached.

Actually, he's just an ordinary attacker when compared with others. When Rashford decreases his salary, Barcelona may think again to extend his contract to be permanent, but for sure, Barcelona must allow Lewandowski to leave to maintain Rashford. So when I watched last night, Rashford is still like on MU, he had several opportunities to score a goal, but failed to convert it. When we compare it with another ex-MU, Antony is still better with the skill, Rashford hasn't really improved on Barca. Most probably Rashford for sale on next transfer, Amorim doesn't really him to back on old traford.

If Rashford lowers his salary, Barcelona will certainly buy him permanently, and letting Lewandowski leave won't be a problem for Barcelona because Lewandowski has a high salary and is no longer young, so Barcelona will recruit relatively young players to strengthen their squad. In fact, Rashford's performance at Barcelona has not been truly optimal, but at least Rashford is starting to feel comfortable at Barcelona, ​​and for Rashford, it is better to be at Barcelona than returning to Manchester United, because Manchester United no longer wants him. I am sure that if Rashford no longer acts out about being undisciplined like at Manchester United, Rashford will return to his best form at Barcelona because his playing style is indeed favored by Hansi Flick.

Xabi is considering Guler as untouchable player in his club. So i think no matter how big City's offer for Guler. It will instantly rejected by Madrid. I know how Pep really needs Guler so desperate caused by he sees another KDB potential on Guler. So it's normal when City's getting even more obsessed to sign Guler.

I personally willing to see Guler goes to EPL. However it seems to good to be true.

It’s common knowledge that there is no future for Marcus Rashford at Manchester United. But to brush him off as ordinary is unfair? Rashford is one of Barcelona’s top scorers (6 goals) and has given the most assist ( this season. I’m not a Manchester United fan but I love to see Rashford progressing outside the Premier League. People are quick to forget that there was a time where Rashford was a beast on the pitch, they only his personal problems and troubles at United.

Almost impossible Madrid reach deal swap Rodri with Arda Guller have untouched for playing as regular position under Alonso era, current situation of Rodri spent more time with injury and not playing regular for Manchester City at premier league matches.
Guller have been key player for Madrid this season and difficult Alonso reach deal swap his favorite player with Rodri not guarantee will play many matches than must absent after getting injury.
During winter transfer window opening, Real Madrid not announce yet sign new player but have several player will leave club as loan or permanent from Endrick have linked with Lyon and Rorygo unhappy after losing regular position want leave Madrid when transfer window opening.

I hear Salah is now threatening to leave Liverpool after feeling like his been thrown under the bus .. and what a coincidence to make such remarks after fresh offers from Saudi Arabia are starting to resurface...

Could it be Salahs way of wanting out and inviting the outside world to put in bids for the January transfers or whenever he can leave..

No, Mohamed Salah has only been made a scapegoat by Arne Slot and the media for his failed tactics not just that the signings they have made I mean the £400m transfer done has also flopped and  they have decided to throw him under the bus. Do not forget what he has helped Liverpool won. He is also the highest goal scorer in the Premier League Competition in this generation. He needs to be shown more respect. The person who should be taking all these criticism should be Slot and not Salah. All these reminds me of Erik ten Hag and Ronaldo.

[karabiber]

Arne Slot should try to make star players like Salah feel happy within the team. Perhaps this is also a strategy from the management, who may want to push Salah to leave sooner in order to gain a large profit, even though his contract runs until June 2027. Saudi Pro League teams have long shown interest in signing Salah, and with Salah looking frustrated, they will likely try to take advantage of this situation to make another offer.

Regarding Mohamed Salah somehow I think he will leave after this season ends and it seems like the situation supports it, I don't know if clubs from the Saudi Pro League are still interested but what is certain is that right now I see Galatasaray on the rumor list, although I'm not sure if they have enough budget. I also think the offer for Mohamed Salah is lower because his performance has not been impressive this season, he scored 4 goals in 14 matches clearly decreased compared to last season.

Galatasaray signed Osimhen this season for a record fee, and the club was unable to make transfers in areas where it was lacking. I wonder where the money used for the Osimhen transfer came from. Salah's transfer to Galatasaray is possible, but whether Galatasaray continues in the UCL will be an important factor in this transfer. Furthermore, I don't think Galatasaray is in a financial position to cover Salah's annual salary. If they were to pay Salah around £15-16 million per year, it would be a move that would put the club in financial difficulty.

Galatasaray qualifying to the Champions League wouldn't be a problem, I don't consider it as a factor that will hinder Sallah from moving down to Galatasaray if they can afford to pay him. Galatasaray is a club that wants to build their team with top class players but the ain't financially buoyant enough to achieve this goal.

[KTChampions]

All of them are really good targets for Liverpool. They are just looking for Salah's replacement as far as I can see from this. Arne Slot has already started to bench him recently.

Olise (23) and Kenan (20) are the most impressive alternatives among those players because of their performances this year. 

I'd like to know what Liverpool's budget is after they spent half a billion in the summer and are unlikely to get anything out of Salah's departure. And another question: how can they entice Olise, for example? Let's say they can bring in a player who faces intense competition for a starting spot, but Olise? Why would he move from Bayern, which has found its footing, to Liverpool, which is in crisis? Only for a huge amount of money.

[SquallLeonhart]

Like you said he didn’t score much last season but he assisted much. Let me bring it to you notice Vinicius only assisted only 8 league goals last season that in over 30 matches he played. He recorded a total of 18 G/A last season since the 20/21 season. This is a player who is more familiar with the league already and with Mbappe joining the squad we were hoping for a much better G/A from him but instead he is getting sloppy.

For what he his demanding he needs to totally do better, I don’t even think anything club can pay him what he is asking for currently, he his not a goals merchant. To be paid 40million is what he his asking for and only Cristiano Ronaldo have earned that in Real Madrid. Vini get at least a ballon D’or then you ask of such income.

When you have a striker like Mbappe, passing is easy, you just pass him the ball and you get yourself an assist in most cases, plus Vini missed many games last season so it is understandable if he didn't had some great stats last season but still I do not thin he can provide as much stats as Mbappe could, so he can't be getting the same salary.

Doesn't matter where you play them, if you put Vini and Mbappe 100% healthy for a full season then you are not going to get the same stats. Don't get me wrong Vinicious Jr. is a great player and every team in the world would be lucky to have a player like him but the reality is that even though he is great, he is not a player like Mbappe and that is why he wouldn't be getting the same salary.

[Lida93]

Let’s hope slot will be able to fix Liverpool problem soon, because Liverpool fans are already requesting for his sack.

It's quite obvious that the Liverpool fans are getting fade up of recent happenings at the club and are eager to see some improvement but rather the situation continues to deteriorate under Arne Slot. Liverpool came close to recording a win against Leeds united yesterday but just along the line they lost concentration and conceded two goals before taking the lead again, only to concede another late goal which saw them settle for a draw in their league encounter with Leeds united yesterday, this result spells doom for the manager as his job could be on the line if he fails to get the right result from the next game.

Saudi Pro League teams have long shown interest in signing Salah, and with Salah looking frustrated, they will likely try to take advantage of this situation to make another offer.

With the situation at hand between the manager and Mo Salah, i doubt if there will be any understanding among them again because for Mo Salah to say that the club has neglected him after many years of his devotion to the team, it could be that he is done with the club and will want to try a new club. The problem i have with some of these big teams is how they backstab a player who was once the pride of the team. Whether Liverpool plans on making a huge profit from Salah's transfer to the Saudi League, it do not matter anymore because the Egyptian is no longer happy at Liverpool which means a transfer to the Saudi League is inevitable. Perhaps, he will also earn huge salary at the Saudi League so definitely it will be a win-win for the club and Mo Salah. I do not even like the idea of a player staying too long at one club because the moment you start declining in performance the club will sideline you so it is better to leave as soon as you have gotten an achievement with the club.

Salah still has a contract with Liverpool till 2027, which means the club will not let him leave for cheap. Liverpool rejected about $200m that was offered. Nobody knows how much Liverpool will accept for now since his performance has deteriorated and he now wants to push for his departure. Galastataray might not be able to offer a high amount, so his option might still be the Saudi Professional League.

In my opinion, Mo Salah should have moved elsewhere when Klopp left the club. They want to use salah as a scapegoat to cover for Arne Slot lack of creativity. Mo Salah is 31 years old and can’t afford to be where he’s not valued.  The interview was a eye opener and I’m disappointed in the way Liverpool are treating Salah. This could very well be the last time we will see Salah in Liverpool shirts.

Why would he move from Bayern, which has found its footing, to Liverpool, which is in crisis? Only for a huge amount of money.

I doubt that Oliseh would leave Bayern Munich or the club would even agree to sell him to Liverpool, would Liverpool even want to spend heavily to sign Olise after spending much during the summer? Anyways they could try lure Kenan from Juventus and it's more likely than going for Olise cause it's a waste of time, except they'll manage Salah for this season then sell him next summer then try to sign Olise by then which would be more realistic than now. However I feel that Liverpool need to strengthen their defense by January than going for a winger.

Slot have nothing to do with the players happiness, they are also contributing to the downfall of the team because they also not playing that well as expected this season.

I am not pointing out that Moh Sallah is the problem of the team, I just believe that he is not in good form and can do well in the future because has been doing well for the team countless time; he helped the team to win the Premier League last season, do he should be respected in this hard time when he is not in good form.

The possibility of him leaving the team at the end of the season is very high especially as the team has lost focus and are not more in the title race, he will make his decision at the end of the season and I think Saudi Arabian teams will come for him and Galatasary as well; if he wants to stay away from the Europe, then Saudi Pro League should be his best option or MLS.
