⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[coinlocket$]

If Real Madrid sell a couple of Midfielders like James Rodríguez or even Bale to raise atleast 100M, I think they have the ability to buy
both of them.
What I don't understand is why Real Madrid would want Neymar yet they have already secured Hazard. Neymar seems to love the Left wing just like Hazard.

If any of them had the ability to switch to the right wing more often just like Ronaldo used to do, then the signing would be s little sensible.

Neymar is around 130M€ Pogba Around 150M €

Now if they sell

JR
Bale
Isco

They probably raise 170m€ for a -310m€.

I think is not possible for them to take both.

Neymar is around 130M€

What ? No !
PSG won't let him go for less than 300M.
130 is if Barca includes other players like Coutinho, Dembele...
As for Real, they don't want Neymar... for now.

127M is the price to be even for the Fair Play Agreement.

(like Higuain 32M for Juventus)

Yeah man, Neymar would go for a lot more than 130 million. Some kid who has literally done nothing in his career just went to Atleti for 120 million. You’re talking about 250+ million for Neymar.

You can't gauge how good a player is just on goals, there are many things that don't show up on the stat sheet.


Anyone here interested in Major League Soccer (USA league) at all?  Never see anyone discuss the MLS in this thread, its all euro leagues.

Sorry, I’m not. It’s crap imo!

Now if they sell

JR

From what I have read Napoli is interested in a loan deal with an option to buy James at the end of next season while Real Madrid wants to sell him right away. That difference is the reason why the deal has not been finalized yet.

[Breaking news ] Griezmann's lawyers just arrived at La Liga HQ to pay for his release clause (120M). Barcelona might confirm the signing later today, the player will be oficially presented next sunday at the Camp Nou.

Sky sport: Real Madrid on Neymar with Barcelona  



https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11827/11760893/neymar-real-madrid-and-barcelona-in-battle-for-psg-forward

The minimum price for Neymar is 132M € for FFP

I don't think so.  Real already got Hazard and Barca is going for Griezmann.  It would make more sense for Real (or maybe both) to go for Pogba...?  I mean for that kind of money and all.

Apparently he has asked to be given number 7... which is Coutinho's number. Another hint at the Brazilian's departure ?

EDIT : and it's a done deal. Griezmann is now a Barcelona player.

Misplaced priority by Barcelona , IMHO. They're probably just doing it for the sake of signing a big name

[logfiles]

^^
I think so too... That signing wasn't really necessary as the Squad stands right now unless they are going to sell someone off soon.
or maybe they wanted to respond to Real Madrid's signing of Hazard 😊

[tomahawk9]

Griezmann to Barcelona done deal. https://twitter.com/FCBarcelona_es/status/1149667372917092352

Also, De Light to Juventus almost done deal. Official announcement coming very soon. https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1149692409674158085

I'm starting to believe Coutinho will stay, mainly because I haven't seen that many rumours about him lately from the spanish media, but who knows...

Absolutely. Main priority should've been the defence, Pique is 32yo and way past his prime (Todibo is too young and Umtiti is injury prone), and Alba doesn't have a proper replacement to help him rest throughout the season.

At least Barcelona are guaranteed +100 goals next season with Messi, Suarez, Griezmann, Dembele...question is, how many goals will they concede?

Finally, an interesting signing.
It is the hit that Barcelona did on the contrary of those that real did with Hazard.
Time for Griezmann to show his real talent!

Atletico refused the payment.
Since Barca traded Griezmann illegally when the clause was 200 m €, they now want 200m.

I read it on the news too. I just keep wondering how such scandals keep happening yet professional agents and accountants are involved.
I also think Atletico Madrid have no choice but to let go. Imagine if Barcelona decided to change their minds and stop the deal. Who else would pay 200M for Griezmann?? 
They would also be harboring a player who no longer has the heart for the Club so best thing to do right now is to just let go.

Noone will pay 200m €, the clause is now 120 m € and I think many teams would pay that.

The 200m € is only a Barca thing since they traded in a moment when they couldn't trade and the clause was 200m €.







According to Telegraaf.nl Juventus has a del done with DeLigt for 70m €.

The player will not start the preseason tour with Ajax.

If they decided that they want 200m and they won't let it go, then only Griezmann will be harmed.
120m are still good (not so good as 200m but that ok) and they should move on. 120m is a good amount to sign another good player that would substitute Griezmann.

Looks like the big moves have started to happen in European football now. Usually this is what happens, we see a type of domino effect, I expect some big transfers to happen over the next couple of weeks.

Media in Italy are now talking about a tax reform that will come into affect starting from 2020. It is believed that this could be the beginning of better days for Italian football. Thanks to the new law clubs could now receive tax breaks.

If a player earns €10M the clubs have to pay a total of €17.5M with taxes but with the new change a player would now cost the club only €12.7M. This means that Italian clubs could give higher salaries and attract bigger stars.

It is explained a bit here:

Very good news for Serie A supporters. This could bring the league to the places it was quite some time ago. Don't know how this taxation is fair when you consider other businesses that have to pay full tax but it is only way to even try to stay in competition with Premier League and La liga.

It's a nice move, but I think it's not enough. Italian football league have a deeper problem than a high tax on salaries. There are no attractive games, usually, they play too much defensive and it's not attractive for the audience. very few matches played where used is more than 60% of stadium capacity. I think English second league have more visitors than Serie A. Also corruption tendency and scandal like Calciopoli was not helping.
Why will someone watch the game, where is already known the result.
