⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Luzin]

Any comment on this?

I heard this rumor. He, along with Idzes, has become an option for Milan. I can't believe Milan would prefer him. He's an old man and is at the stage to retire. I think choosing him would only be for a short period. But indeed, Milan seems to have a habit of buying experienced older players. If I were them, of course I would choose Idzes. He's younger and has clear progress with Sassuolo. Although in terms of experience he is better, that would probably only make Milan good in the short term.

United could sell Zirzkee if they want to, it is just about how much they want for him, and for the time being they want to get as little cost as possible by selling him near what they paid for him but it's clear that nobody will do that.

Most of the time, the players they get are terrible and the result is not that good which is why I understand their fear of selling players for cheap, if they start doing that then it is not going to be good. But Cunha, Sesko, even the new ones do not look good that much. This is why I honestly think that they are not going to get the results they want by keeping the players and only loaning them up. I think they should seriously consider start selling these players for cheap one way or another.

I think it will be a good move for Joshua Zirkzee, because he really needs to have game time now, because when you look at what he is doing at Manchester United he doesn’t have much playing time, and it’s a World Cup year next year which means he will need more game time, but I think right now that Mbeumo have gone to the African Cup of Nations it will give him a different opportunity for more game time, but moving to AS Roma is going to be more good and beneficial for his career than staying at Manchester United on the bench, I think a permanent move will be more better for him because staying at Manchester United without game time wouldn’t be very good at all for his career.

Absolutely agreed. Zirkzee still young and he has talent. He got a chance to leave in the last summer, but reject it with the hope to defend his position, but this time, i'm feeling the better he leaves. He can dig more experience back at serie a, then coming back again to the EPL with better version.
Someone must tell him Salah's story about how he was a flop at Chelsea, then went to the Roma, and back again to the Liverpool.

It's the only sense way to improve his career, otherwise, he will stuck in the same place.

You can't tell if he will cope with EPL if he comes back. He better stay in Seria A if he is opportune to get a good deal over there. Zirkzee didn't meet up to my expectations because I thought he will perform better but he's finding it difficult to cope with the club game tactics. However, United wasn't helpful on improving players performance.

[arallmuus]

However, i've heard AC Milan wants him back. So i don't think it's bad call considering how good Silva is even after he turned 41 years old.

Honestly, this guy alone is far better compared to the all of AC Milan fullback in term of work rate on and off the ball. So i hope he goes back again to the rossoneri. I'd rather sign an old experience defender with cheap wages rather than betting on young, inexperienced, and high wage player.

Any comment on this?

Right.... why am I not surprised to read this. Its always either AC Milan or Inter Milan that always takes in all those young veteran or should I say grandpa.

In case if you guys are wondering, AC milan has Modric (40), Pietro (35) and Rabiot (30). All three of them was signed this season so yeah it just feels weird if they are gonna sign another old player to fill in the squad. Yeah I understand he is a decent player but seriously they could afford younger players though

I think that is just about right. I like it when players believe in themselves and fight for their position, but like i also say, there is only so much you can do to show the manager your worth. If he consistently fails to see it, then you have to move elsewhere. Football career is a short one and you don't want to spend most of yours in the fringes.

Mainoo is also another player that has to leave United. Though in his own case it is the club that is denying him an exit. Amorim clearly does not have him as part of his plans, but United are worried about losing such a talented star.

[LGD2Business]

Can you guys guess what club that's gonna be Silva's next destination? Yeah, he's more than 40 years old, which make sense to think there will be only some clubs interesting in using his service. However, i've heard AC Milan wants him back. So i don't think it's bad call considering how good Silva is even after he turned 41 years old.

Has Thiago Silva retired from football yet? How old does he plan to play until? He might want to return to Europe, but is there a team that would really sign him? I don't think he can play at the top level anymore. After his son Isago Silva signed with Chelsea, he also wants to move to London. Which Premier League team would sign him? At his age, he can't put in that kind of effort as a center back. He can't play for teams that build their defense from the front. He can't run back. Maybe he could play for very defensive teams, but I still don't think he'd be a good choice for any PL team.

Real Madrid are not making this relationship easy for the player to start with, I wasn't expecting this to get to this stage of them putting the Brazilian in a situation where it will look like he choose to abandon the club when they needed him the most and if you check, anything he asked for he deserves it 100%, what's there not to give it to him? After all he has been a better player and has also done so much for the club, should Madrid let him go I think it will be a big loss for them.

I completely disagree. Vinicius is certainly a great player but there is no way he is worth the same salary as Mbappé's. The amount of money he is asking for is huge, and I think that Real Madrid are also getting tired of some of his behaviors and they are open to actually sell him, they are not desperate to keep him because next year Nico Paz will go back to Madrid and he could perfectly replace the Brazilian for a fraction on the cost.

Vini jr is a great player and Madrid can’t do without him because is the player that is creating must chances for Madrid and Making them win games in most competition this season. Since Ancelotti leave real Madrid have seen is behavior as change because is not getting what he need in the clubs sometimes because Xabi Alonso is a good coach and if you are not doing well in the games he will definitely substitute you and that is the main reason why Vini jr don’t like Xabi Alonso because he always sub vini jr in the pitch when is see is performance is not going well.

I think one day Paz will probably sell Vini jr in the club to get a perfect player that is more perfect then Vinicius in the club. But currently am sure they won’t like him to move to any club for now since they have not get a replacement for the player and they will do anything possible to make him renew is contract with the club.

A player that is more perfect than Vinicius Jr is not there at the moment, so selling him might be a bit difficult for Madrid. Xabi Alonso should rather do more of accommodating Vinicius Jr, he is a coach and should act as a father figure to the players, whatever it is that is looking like an issue between him and a player shouldn't be brought to the field of play.

 If vinicius is asking for higher wage, then Madrid should look inwards and ask themselves if they can pay, or come up with a percentage increase in addition with what is on ground, but if both parties cannot harmonize and come with a concrete agreement, then they should allow him go, he is at his prime and he is looking at himself as somebody who is supposed to earn high.

I agree that Bruno being at Manchester United helps them a ton. However I also think that it doesn't help Bruno that much, United isn't doing that great, it is not some UCL team or even in Europe this season, and I think Bruno is getting older so he should be considering his own self. If he wants to stay at United or another big club then it's fine, it's his decision and he is such a great player that I could see him in any team he wants. But he is running out of time, and those 100 million offers do not come every day.

Bruno has provided a great contribution to Real Madrid, becoming one of the key players in their starting eleven. So far, Bruno's performances have been excellent. However, is it true that Manchester United will let Bruno go? It's still quite profitable at this point, even with a high transfer fee. Haha, Bruno deserves much better.

So after Manchester United told Bruno Fernandes that he should leave I think this might be a good destination for Bruno if he does decide to leave. But of course he is yet to take a decision on this and I have seen that he said he does not want to leave because of family reasons. But I believe it will be better for him to go to other clubs. Especially since Manchester United have already said that they do not want him to stay. I suggest going to Munich. Just leave United at any cost as soon as possible and find a good club.

[jostorres]

I've also talked about obligation to buy is not giving MU strong position to cash out Zirkzee. Don't you forget their case with Sancho and Chelsea? They have put obligation to buy in the Sancho's loan contract. Yet, Chelsea returned Sancho + penalty caused by blues were not interesting in permanent him.
So in this case, selling him is the best when they need money. However, i know priced Zirkzee 35m pound makes no sense considering they also bought him at almost the same rate. So, if they can lower it a bit, they may able to seal a trade for Zirkzee with Roma.

This is what they are doing recently, they are getting rid of the player salary this way, and they are also making the player look better on paper as well by making him play better somewhere else. Like Antony situation at Betis, they basically used Betis to keep him look better because if he stayed at United he wouldn't get playing time and he would be worthless but this way he at least has some value, still of course nowhere near what they paid for him but at least some value instead of none.

Atletico Madrid want to sign Marcus Rashford. With injured players returning in Barca, Rashford's playing time has decreased. Manchester United has set a purchase option of 30 million Euros and Barcelona is undecided about paying this amount. The high salary burden is also a concern. Rashford is in his prime and he doesn't want to be a substitute. He's not part of Amorim's plans. So, even if it's not Barcelona, he will be sold to another team at the end of the season. Simeone plans to play him in the starting 11. If Atletico reaches an agreement with Manchester United and signs Rashford, no one should be surprised.

This news is a big joke because Atletico Madrid are yet to clear out the complete payment for Antony. Why would you think they'd want to step in for Marcus Rashford?!
The current news buzzing has to be Endrick the Real Madrid and Brazilian youngster moving to Lyon soon. He demands game time so he can at least make it to the world cup. Asides that, Manchester united and Manchester City are locked in for Semenyo this January transfer window, it is up to him to choose which side he'll play for. I have read Ruben Amorim is a huge fan of the Ghanian.

I think they should seriously consider start selling these players for cheap one way or another.

I thought Zirkee is their back up striker to support Benjamin Sesko so if they sell him do they intend to get another striker better than him?or they will just rely on Sesko alone and convert Cunha to striker when Sesko is unavailable. I doubt if they are going to get the amount they want from his sale because he is not getting enough playing time.

Not that the players are terrible they are just average players which are not up to the standards of Manchester United that's the reason why the team as been having an average performance for a long time now. And also they are fond of over pricing players. That's the main reason why they think most players don't perform to expectations and they feel he is supposed to because they bought him with high amount.

I feel with the current players bought they will eventually get better. We are already seeing some changes so with time it will get better.

I consider Bruno to be a problematic player and not as good a player as he could be to play in a starting position at Real Madrid.

He will probably leave Manchester United, but I doubt he will go to Madrid. It will more likely be a smaller club where he can play the star.

Can you guys guess what club that's gonna be Silva's next destination? Yeah, he's more than 40 years old, which make sense to think there will be only some clubs interesting in using his service. However, i've heard AC Milan wants him back. So i don't think it's bad call considering how good Silva is even after he turned 41 years old.

If it's only temporary, it's not a big problem for AC Milan to recruit him back, because he has played for AC Milan and it only takes a little getting used to for him to be able to adapt to the current team dynamics, especially now that AC Milan needs additional players with more quality, for the time being Thiago Silva can fill that position and provide additional strength for AC Milan to be able to perform more consistently, while AC Milan looks for a replacement for him because he is old, and he is also not in a position to play that strongly, so the potential for injury may be high, but for a temporary solution it is still okay in my opinion.

For a 40-year-old player to play for such a top-level team again would be a risky transfer in my opinion. Of course, Luka Modrić made a transfer at the beginning of the season, but a transfer for another 40-year-old player to Milan doesn't make any sense to me. I think there's a problem with Milan's transfer strategy because they've started bringing in older players. If it were the old Milan, they would have focused on young and quality players.

Honestly, this guy alone is far better compared to the all of AC Milan fullback in term of work rate on and off the ball. So i hope he goes back again to the rossoneri. I'd rather sign an old experience defender with cheap wages rather than betting on young, inexperienced, and high wage player.

Yeah I understand he is a decent player but seriously they could afford younger players though

I don't really know the kind of experiment that AC Milan is doing that makes them to sign old players in their squad when they know that these players will be less productive and they won't stay in the team for a long time. Apart from Luka Modric who i think he still have good tactics regardless of his age, i think the other old players cannot do much for AC Milan but i still wonder why the club decided to keep them. They should try and sign more young talented players so that they can help rebuild the team for them to become very competitive in the Serie A games.

Yes, I completely agree with you. It's important for Milan to have young and fast players, but they've become a team with a high average age. Of course, experience is crucial in football, but you can't get much out of a 40-year-old player physically. Therefore, perhaps Milan should reconsider their transfer policy. In my opinion, they should focus on players between 20 and 25 years old, like other teams.

Am I the only one that thinks Zirkzee is a better player than Sesko? It's just so delightful to watch him play but I guess the expectations are just too much that it out shadows his performance on the pitch. Zirkzee plays with the players as a team, holding the ball and do not lose control of the ball so easily, always looking for a way out of every tight situation and giving a successful pass but he's not just that traditional striker that Manchester United need at the moment.

He is giving more of an attacking midfielder kind of vibes, coming back to the midfield to play with his team mates and progressing with the attack giving the wingers more opportunity to drive to the front line and creating more opportunities as well. Sesko on the other hand has not had the best of performance since he joined Manchester and it's being really tough for him trying to adapt to the new system and we still look forward to seeing potential changes in the future.

He will probably leave Manchester United, but I doubt he will go to Madrid. It will more likely be a smaller club where he can play the star.

You are right, Bruno Fernandes is a very good player however going to Real Madrid will not be a good one for him and I really don't think he will do that because he loves getting all the attention as a major player in a club, I don't even think he will leave Manchester United after his contract expires if Manchester United wants to keep him I believe he will accept because his a start player in Manchester United but since Manchester united is ready to let him go he may just go to one club in England if they come for him, I believe a club in England may come for him and it may not be a big club so I really don't think he will accept to play for a smaller club in England.
Is real Madrid even ready to sign Bruno Fernandes, i have not seen that news I don't think it's even possible for Real Madrid to sign him however if that happens and he decides to go then is fine at the end it's his decision to make.
