⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Harlot]

Yes it seems Hamsik is actually leaving. Reports yesterday suggested that he would be flying for Madrid to carry out medical examinations. After that it is expected that he will sign a 3 year contract with Dalian Yifang.

How will this move happen now if the season is not yet over and the January transfer window is closed? Is there a special exception for non-european teams buying players outside the transfer window? By the way calciomercato is not the most reliable news for Football in Italy, most of them are even recycled from other news sources that are also unreliable.

Transfer window is still open in China.

The transfer window is closed for new arrivals to Serie A teams but they can still sell their players to leagues were the transfer window is not yet closed, like in China.

I read rumours that a Chinese club offered Mario Mandzukic a $10 Million a year contract which he turned down and he is expected to extend his contract with Juve until 2022/2023.

The transfer of Hamsik has been suspended due to payment differences, and he even skipped training which I feel is a bad decision on his part as he’ll be fined for that. I believe many players are now looking to play in the Chinese league due to higher salaries, but they’ll be forgotten by fans as it’s not a popular league. Also it seems Hazard may not leave Chelsea as Madrid want Neymar, thoughts on this?.

TBH that was a shocker for me when I saw the news but its his future to decide. There have been many who got transferred to Chinese leagues but I would say the most foolish players are the ones who at young age are moving to China just because of some higher salary and thereby fail to see the difference of play quality b/w Chinese and European leagues. A best case: Oscar perhaps?

Decision of players who are in the brink of retirement (have just 2-3 years left to play) are understandable but if someone who is young takes it and has a good potential takes such then I would only think of it as a foolish idea.

Well I haven't seen that kind of move, maybe I haven't notice is since mostly the transfer window moves I only see are from European countries as well as South American Countries besides that other regions are silent when it comes to big moves, but all of that can change especially when China is going big for their Football League, the advantage for this is European teams can sell their unwanted players even if the transfer window is closed, but I think there would be a change in regulation once they see an abuse with the system.

Interesting. So Napoli loses the chance of selling a 31yo player for a huge amount of money, they'll probably won't get another offer for him again (unless they can sort out the payment issues with the chinese club). Well, at least they get to keep him for the rest of the season.

As a RM fan, I'd take Hazard rather than an undisciplined and injury prone player like Neymar.

According to The Independent, Chelsea wants Coutinho to replace Hazard ¹. It seems like the belgian will leave the english club at the end of the season.

Coutinho hasn’t set the world alight at Barca so I could actually see that move to Chelsea as Hazard’s replacement happening. He would be a good fit for Chelsea.

To be fair, he wasn't exactly ever going to have a proper chance at Barcelona. He simply is not a good fit, even though earlier days even the media did their best to make it seem like he was fitting in with the others especially with Luis Suarez.

I agree he will make a really good move to Chelsea, Sarri ball is what Coutinho can do better than now. Hazard's replacement I'm not sure though.

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but these are the top 10 salaries in Europe right now :
1   Messi 8,3 M gross / Month
2   Ronaldo 4,7 M
3   Griezmann 3,3 M
4   Neymar 3,06 M
5   Suarez 2,9 M
6   Bale 2,5 M
7   Coutinho 2,3 M
8   Sanchez 2,28 M
9   Mbappe 1,73 M
10 Ozil 1,6 M

[tokeweed]

^  Wow Ozil's way over paid imo.  And so is Sanchez (Mou's fault).  Lol.

Anyway, what's the latest news on Coutinho leaving Barca?  Last time I checked, Man United is interested.  Lololol.

The transfer window in China is active until the end of February so there is still time to sort it out. Now when the club has agreed terms with the player and he has said his goodbyes I think they will come to some sort of agreement soon.

Dorset Police declared yesterday that the body recovered from the plane wreckage earlier this was that of the Argentinian Striker, the body of the pilot on the other hand is yet to be found. According to news from Goal.com



If life after death is not a fable, I really do hope you're in a better place.
RIP...

It is said that Nantes will retire his number 9 jersey.

I think that's a great gesture from the club, even though the loss is irreplaceable.
My heart goes out to his family and loved ones.

RIP Sala... 
It's nice gesture from club that they retire number 9. But at the same time Nantes demand for transfer fee from Cardiff in such sad sad situation. Football is business, but it's not right time to talk about money...

I think Coutinho has a different playstyle from the whole of Barcelona's squad. He fits more in the Premier League where defenses are tighter and you have to do some long shots in order to score. And Coutinho has an incredible shoot with amazing technique.

He will definitely fill more Chelsea and PL if he gets a transfer and leaves Camp Nou.

IMO opinion HAZARD should always be @ top 3 spot "he will get there soon"

sanchez very over rated player doesn't earn to earn that much, I could live with the most except ozil he shouldn't be there as well (sanchez and ozil maybe if they would play for chinese money)

but with numbers and statistics bale and coutinho shouldn't be there as well @this time, I like coutinho very much awesome player, but just not every game sometimes he's just not there , pity cause I like he's handling/touching the ball and he's far distance goal kicks

[El duderino_]

I do think leicester will be having a good time with TIELEMANS as well, saw many games of him in belgium and he's a good player MARK THESE WORDS

Yup.  No wonder Hazard is thinking of leaving Chelsea.  If he chose City 7(?) years ago he wouldn't be having this kind of problem imo.  And he'd be playing under one of the best managers in Europe too. 

I mean what's he gonna have at Real?
