⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[StonedWolf]

Players likely to leave :

Mesut ozil : having a contract ending in June of this year, all the coaches of the world dream to have this player in their squad, but the most serious are FC Barcelona and Man united, and I think that once he has arrived at each of them he will change a lot of things.
Javier pastore : yesterday the player did the goodbye to the spectators and he played his last match for PSG. Also, his agent confirmed this. Most likely the player will go to Inter Milan but Man united is interested too.

I believe that Manchester United are the ones in pole position to sign Mesut Ozil, he will be a very perfect fit for the Red Devils especially since Mkhitryan hasn't been able to replicate his last season performance and has been struggling a lot.

One thing I never understood was the drop in the Henrik Mkhitaryan's level after an exceptional start to the season, and in my opinion the negative results of Man united are following his return to the back. By the way there are rumors that proves the departure of this player during this current transfer window. Many clubs are interested in him like Juventus and his previous club Borussia Dortmund.

Lukaku, maybe he is bad transfer for United.

Yup.  In hindsight Mourinho could have been better off with Morata.  Lukaku isn't the 'new Drogba'.  The latter was always full of confidence, and with the ability to make goals from nothing.

Lukaku seems to lack the kind of arrogance or cockiness or that certain boldness that strikers need.

As soon as Lukaku was interested in Mourinho, I said that it would be the most disastrous transfer. Yes, he scores goals, but scores only weak teams. In big matches, Lukaku is simply lost on the field.

And do not forget other than just scoring goals into weak teams, he also just scored easy goals. Goals that all players can certainly do it easily too. He's a star at clubs like WBA, Everton, but in big teams like Manchester United he's just an ordinary striker, it's natural why Chelsea do not like Lukaku.

It is indeed true, his drop in performance is one of the reason why Manchester United are struggling recently, there hasn't been any good replacement for his position when he was dropped by Jose Mourinho for the last few games.

About Barcelona, the club who needs many players to enrich his bench of substitutes :

Van dijk : the Southampton defender is one of the club's main goals to make up for Mascherano's departure in January.
Nabil Fekir : the Lyon striker is obsessed by playing with Lionel Messi in Barcelona, the French striker may leave for Barcelona in January.
Felippe Coutinho : Barça is no longer interested on him, as it was in the summer. The club is not willing to pay as much as it did last summer.

Van Dijk could have helped solve the whole conundrum with the Liverpool defense but because of their inability to get him this summer transfer window, I doubt they will have the opportunity to sign him since there are currently a lot of teams who are interested in buying him and am sure their offer will be more than the price Liverpool were previously going to pay.

Liverpool are likely to sell Felippe Coutinho and so they will have something in their coffers to buy Van Dijk if they so wish, i think he's a brilliant chap at the defense and it a real rock and should they secure him  and with M. Salah's stunning performances i think Liverpool will be tough again.

I think Felippe Coutinho could still be a good buy for barcelona if they decide to get him because his style is quite like that of the catalan club. Maybe Barcelona is playing for them to lower the price  by feigning a lack of interest but in the end we will all see what might happen

Manchester City interested in for Brazilian holding Midfielder Fred whom currently plays under Shakhtar Donetsk it's expected from Citizens to make move for him in summer after Yaya Toure contract ends  .
Manchester United Midfielder Marouane Fellaini wants to move from old Trafford because he is not starting in a lot of games only four this season and he wants to secure a spot in Russia Wirld Cup currently two teams from China is interested and Beşiktaş from Europe.
PSG back on hunting in winter with rumors suggest that they will try to get the experienced Spanish Goalkeeper Pepe Reina . They wanted to get him last summer but now after Trapp getting out they wants him to be his replacement.

Van djik would be a quality sign for Barcelona, but he'll be a sub, will he be ok with that? there are many clubs interested in him like Liverpool or Man City, and the chances that he's in the starting XI in those clubs are higher than in Barcelona.

I don't think Fekir will go to Barcelona, at least not in January, right when Dembele is coming back from the injury. Fakir is having a really good season with Lyon, and I don't think he'd want to be a sub player right before the World Cup next year.

And Coutinho will go to Barcelona next summer. I'm 100% sure. If he goes to spain in january, he won't be able to play in the Champions League, and having a quality player like him not playing in the CL isn't exactly the best of decisions.

I am not your typical soccer/football fan (a you can tell I am based in north amercia where we don't watch as much soccer) although back in the day I did see Lukaku play when he was only 16 and he wasn't yet in the major pros or whatever.

[tokeweed]

^ Yeah he was dubbed the 'next Drogba' and Chelsea acquired him when he was a teenager years ago when Andre Villas Boas was managing the club.  But he didn't perform as expected during training making him being overlooked and unable to join the first team.

A lot of people criticized Villas Boas for it.  But seeing Lukaku play over the years...  Now we know why he wasn't selected.  He's overrated.

An analysis of Van dijk's transfer to Juventus :

The defender contacted the Juventus managers and showed the player to Juventus. But, expressed their admiration for the idea in principle, but there are some major obstacles to the deal:
-First, its market value is too high about 60 million euros. knowing that liverpool is prepared to pay this amount.
-Second, Juventus are preparing for Caldera's arrival next summer. While, the coach Allegri is very impressed with him and even the club management.
-Third, Van Dyck will lead to one exit from Rogani, Caldera or Hovidis in the case of Juventus. Juventus does not want to give up Rugjani for Van even if there were great offers for the young Italian.

To conclude, Van Dyck's deal for Juve is very difficult, especially since he will leave Southampton in January and Juve is not willing to pay 60 million for only one player in the winter transfers.

Heh.  Sevilla is a huge downgrade for Luis Enrique after managing Barca.  It would be better for him to move else where, like the EPL or the Bundesliga.  He could be a good fit with Arsenal, tho I think the club is preparing for Tuchel's appointment this summer.

Another good club for him in the EPL would be Chelsea.  Conte could be facing the sack after this season.

Liverpool bought from Southampton Van dijk for € 85M!
this is really an exaggerated evaluation!
with current prices as it would have cost Roberto Carlos? 300M?

It was just yesterday I was reading about the inflated price's in football transfer and then this happens, I really can't believe it, and have to agree with Jose statement, defender's are being brought at striker's price's. Meanwhile there're news circulating that. Manchester United have pulled out of Griezmann race. Mikitayan looks all set to leave. Jose wants Kane, Ali, Bale at Manchester United I don't think he really knows transfer now.

I am very happy with this purchase. Honestly I hate to see the Liverpool defense who often make blunders. Van Dijk price may be too high, but I like this purchase because at least Klopp did the movement to improve the Liverpool defense. Finally Klopp aware of what is actually needed by the team.

Wait...  WHAT?!  It's a done deal?

Let me check...

Wow.  It's true.  I'm both happy and sad with this transfer.  Happy because it will strengthen Liverpool but sad because Man City didn't acquire him.

Everton have reached an agreement with Beşiktaş over their Striker Cenk Tosun for a £25 million fee Sam Allardyce wanted him back when he was with Crystal Palace now he bagged 13 goals from 23 apps this season ihe could be the replacement they needed for Lukaku after failing to get Giroud in the summer.
Swensea City have signed Carlos Carvalhal after they sacked Paul Clement two weeks ago while Carvalhalhave just left Sheffield Wednesday on a mutual agreement.
After Sacking Eduardo Berizzo last week Sevilla have Signed Montella whom Milan fired last month.

I’m very happy
Hopefully he can tighten up the defence because that’s Liverpool’s only problem at the moment. Scoring goals is not a problem, conceding too many is though.

I think we need to replace Mignolet in the summer too though.
