⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

Players with 6 months left on their contracts can sign pre contractual agreements can’t they?
Other than that yeah, we will have to wait until the summer to see firm rumours. Agents will be having discrete meetings with prospective buyers now but we won’t hear about this.

Exactly, only they can sign for free with a new team.
The others cannot "officially" talk with other teams.

I mean officially cause just look what is happening with Pogba, I'm pretty sure Raiola is already moving his people for an exit strategy.

So Sterling was saying in some interview that he's open to a move to guess what...  Real Madrid.  I guess it's time to move on.  But I think he should've stayed at LFC (same with Coutinho).  They left when the club was struggling.

I would reeeaaally respect Aguero if he stayed at City throughout the ban.

Could make sense, or what do you guys think? In my opinion Thomas Tuchel would fit Bayern, but Hansi Flick is currently doing a pretty good job. I am sure, if he wins at least one trophy (preferably the league or the champions league) I don't think that Bayern will look out for another coach. Any people here, who can tell us something about Thomas Tuchels standing in Paris?

Bayern are still closely monitoring the situation of Thomas Tuchel. Bayern and Tuchel are in constant contact in the perspective of a potential cooperation next season with the German manager increasingly isolated and under pressure at PSG [@lequipe]

Barcelona recently made an emergency signing of Martin Braithwaite and even unveiled him. The transfer window has been long closed. Was the deal an exception or La Liga has different rules that can allow making signings outside transfer window?

It was a special circumstances exception granted to Barcelona. Should not have been allowed if you ask me.
Here is some more info and opinions in my post from the other day.

Board of Barcelona is a big joke. They have signed Martin Braithwaite from Leganes for €18 million. Ok, is something understandable, Barca urgently needed forward. But he signed contract for 4.5 years with €300 million release clause. Are they f**king serious? Especially when Barca had their own players like Carles Perez, Abel Ruiz or Rafinha, but sent them on loan. They are probably isn't worse than Braithwaite. I'm not even talking about other wasted academy talents like Adama Traore who didn't got chances in Barcelona.
And last time I thought that transfer of K.P. Boateng is something strange...
I'm only sad for Leganes in this situation. They last their main player and didn't got chance to sign someone in place of him.

I am casual Barca supporter and their behaviour in the last months makes me quite sad. That is not how one of biggest clubs in the world should behave. This is just last incident from club leadership that totally lost control.

They invoked some legal technicality and took one of the most important Leganes players while Leganes is struggling to fight for their place in La Liga next season. I am quite unsure how this was allowed in the first place. That sort of opportunity to grant clubs ability to sign players outside of transfer window should be granted only in dire circumstances like when that Brazilian club lost almost their whole team in plane crash. Certainly not when 2 attackers get injured in top club. That is just bad transfer policy. Dembele is almost always injured and Suarez has quite a few years under his belt, surly serious club can guess they will miss some matches.

As you already pointed out, Barca has some quality jung alternatives as well. What sort of message this sends to them. Go away and find some club which will believe in you, if you ask me.

I really wonder why Barcelona signed Braithwaite.
He is not a key player right now and there are a lot of young talents in the team that can help the team in a cheaper way.

Barcelona has not had any plan or strategy for a long time, everything is happening spontaneously and without a plan.
The sports director and the best player of the club are arguing in the media, and in the panic they bring players of dubious quality.
I'm afraid there will be complete chaos in the club if Messi leaves the club, what is not impossible.

Very strange transfer but great for the player, he would never have thought it was possible to ever play for Barca & now he has a dream move. I hope he makes the most of it, he could win a trophy or two.

I assume they are also trying to create some sort of bench culture as well with buying Martin Braithwaite, I mean I do not see him getting starters minutes but at the same time we are getting closer to champions league and that means La Liga will need to have some sort of bench dudes as well.

I am not saying he will be playing in the league 90 minutes all the time but in case some player gets injured, for that kind of money they can afford to throw at buying some bench player as well. Even the third string players are very crucial at this stage of the season, when regular players are resting at home and the sub plays instead there needs to be a sub player for the sub player, which I assume Martin is for Barcelona and frankly that type of money is definitely third string for them.

The deal was reported to be in place for all clubs, who has faced a trouble or more in any part of their playing teams
Which means if it were Barcelona midfield options that were depleted due to injuriea, they will be able to get just a midfielder as an exception.

It looks like this rule only happens in the Spanish la Liga, because in Barclay's Premier League for example, you only get a weaver when your top 3 keepers are off the fitness and out injured

He si a key for forward player when Ousmane Dembele has long injured.
Found his stat on last game
- 65 touches
- 2 Assists
- 3 shots (2 on target)
- 5 dribbles completed
- 7 chances created
- 2 clear cut chances created
- 6 duels won
- 39 accurate passes (91% accuracy)

Bundesliga has a diamond playing there and I wonder if any top club is interesting in him.
Timo Werner with 20 goals and 6 assists in 22 games has an outstanding performance right now in German league. I think that during the summer transfer window we are going to see a lot of team trying to sign him.

[bullrun2024bro]

Looks like the Bayern Bosses aren't sure anymore, if Leroy Sané really fits to the club. These might be just rumors, which are spread to lower the price, but in my opinion they got a point there. Leroy Sané with his extravagant lifestyle is surely different from players like Schweinsteiger, Lahm or Mueller. But is this really a reason not to sign him? Hm, I am not sure, what do you guys think?

Bayern bosses are having doubts on whether Leroy Sané has the necessary character that big players in the past like Lahm, Schweinsteiger, Kahn, Effenberg (etc) had and would identify with the club [Kicker]

[Chikito]

Timo Werner with 20 goals and 6 assists in 22 games has an outstanding performance right now in German league. I think that during the summer transfer window we are going to see a lot of team trying to sign him.

I found his stat more than your data 33 games, 26 goals and 10 assists.
and was read the rumors Liverpool have interesting, Let's see how they make auction market for Timo the next summer windows transfer.

^^ Liverpool is a good team already and full in the attacking part.
I wonder who is going to replace if he signs for Liverpool.
Maybe Real and Barcelona are going to be interested when the summer transfer window starts.

I think maybe Werner will not replace anybody if he joins LFC, it’s always good to have good quality in the squad. Maybe Firmino will drop deeper & Werner can play in the number 9 position.

Liverpool is definitely one of the best teams in Europe currently and if he dare moves there. That could mean an end to his glittering stats. He will be reduced to being bench material and playing with Liverpool B team in the EFL and FA.

Building a strong strike force like that of Mane, Salah and Firminho takes time and i don't think Klopp is about to destabilize it soon and start bringing in new faces yet the likes of Origi are also still hoping they get to chance to play regular games too.

Some of football speculators believe next season there will be big exodus from Manchester City because of the punishment effects from uefa and one from those players will possibly to leave City is Kevin de Bruyne and the latest rumour from this player linked to Barcelona and Real Madrid but the price for this player won't be cheap and it's worth to 120 million euro

I wouldn't be calling any player who leaves a "traitor", the champions league is every players dream to play in, and if possible win. That's why big payers play in big teams that are always present in the Champions League so they get an opportunity to win the title at least once or if possible more during their career.

City haven't won the UCL before, but they've been present for some years now, and most of those players know their playing time is almost up. Now with city out two years in a row, they(the players)may never have the chance to play with a big team in the UCL(this might force some of them to leave). Many of them have pledged their allegiance to city, not to leave, we'll have to see about that; it's easier said than done.

I think there's gonna be some rotation between Firmino and Werner.  But first choice would be Werner depending on how he adjusts and performs in the EPL.

LFC could be setting out to do what City set out to do under Pep.  Win 4 major cups.
