⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Naida_BR]

It looks like Corentin Tolisso is about to leave FC Bayern München. The market value of the french midfielder is currently about €32m. In my opinion a transfer would make sense, since Bayern might sign Havertz on his position. And to be honest, Tolisso never delivered what most the Bayern fans expected. He always played decent but never extraordinary. What do you guys think? Would he fit to to Inter?

Inter Milan are interested in signing Corentin Tolisso in the summer. Antonio Conte likes Tolisso very much and Inter have already tried to sign him from Lyon in 2017. The Frenchman would be available for around €35m [@Gazzetta_it]

I wonder why his value is on 32m due to the fact - as you already said - he didn't deliver the expected performance to Bayern.
I think that this price is just a starting price. He is not going to get any transfer bigger than the 20m. And most importantly if he joins Inter he is going to be on a good competition with other midfielders.

Is it just me or it just feels like this year's summer transfer window would see most players sold at a bargain?  I don't think most clubs would be keen in buying after the outbreak and all...

It is not just you, I do think the same as I believe most teams are also affected by the crisis as they lose some income. As a effect, most team wont spend high amount to buy players especially high price players like what we see in the last decade. Dropped price is reasonable with this current situation.

Then again I think some clubs could take advantage on some bargains.  Been reading that Man United wants to acquire Aubameyang from Arsenal and Thomas Lemar from Atletico.  I guess those two could go for a much less than the usual bloated market price.

I think Areta should acquire Ings as Auba's replacement.

I do agree that the transfer market have changed once they have cancelled most of the European football leagues. If you think about it cancelling/postponing a league season would simply mean lost of income entirely except for the fixed sponsorship revenue they have other modes of revenue such as gate receipts, tv revenue, prize money in competitions, as well as various clauses all of which won't be going into any club because of the suspension. So I'm really expecting that the ones being rumored to be transfer listed now will be out of the list and instead try to raise their stocks when they are playing the next season.

^  I think it's gonna depend on the player and his situation.  Take Pogba...  Pretty sure he wants to leave right away once the season has officially ended.  No need to 'raise his stock'.  He's could've really been downing tools imo.  Lol.

Well you can always add disgruntled and unwanted players to the exception but expecting this next transfer window to become a buying spree I wouldn't imagine it from happening especially if teams didn't have earned enough money during this season. The ones selling star players would sell their players below their real market value just to cover up some losses, this will be something big clubs would be waiting to happen since they are the ones who still have money left after this will end.

^  I guess...  But we'll see.  It really feels like United and other clubs (Everton?) are gonna take advantage.  If this whole virus outbreak thing gets under control that is.

Looks like the red devils are satisfied with Ighalo: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8144257/Man-United-sign-Odion-Ighalo-15m-summer-strikers-loan-deal-set-expire-May.html

15M for an average 30yo bench warmer striker sounds a bit pricey, should save that money and go for Timo Werner or Raul Jimenez.

Auba should definitely go to a bigger club, he's wasting the last years of his career in Arsenal. IMO Lemar is overrated, i've seen him countless times in Atletico and his performances have been nothing but underwhelming :/

it's a pity, but we still haven't seen the real picture of Ighalo performance. They have solid statistics, but with very few minutes played.
For me, Ighalo is much cheaper solutions than Lukakku and they have about the same quality. Plus, he expressed a great desire to play only to Man. United regardless of salary or how many minutes it will play. Playing for Manchester United is privilege for them, and such a player approach is ideal for the club.

It looks like that Philippe Coutinho might move to an English club. At least Bayern won't active his release clause, also FC Barcelona isn't interested in taking him back. What do you think, which Premier League clubs might be interested? Manchester United? Chelsea? Nevertheless, I doubt that any club will pay the astronomical price that Barcelona is calling.

The likelihood that Bayern will activate Philippe Coutinho's option to buy is almost zero. Even less likely with the current corona crisis. Barcelona doesn't want Coutinho back either and informed his agent to look for another club. English clubs are interested in a loan [Sky]

If any team gives a lot of money for Pogba then it will be fooled at the most.
The problem with Pogba is that he wants to leave but he wants to get transferred to a top club not a medium one. And his performance is not for being transferred to a top club as he has a downturn in his performance.

It's actually a shame when you look at how well his former club Liverpool have been doing since his exit, they have won the Uefa champions league and are also going to win the English premier league when the league resumes, he on the other hand has had a very difficult time since he left, failed at Barcelona and didn't do too well at Bayern, for now it was a wrong move for him.

Coutinho could be a good inclusion in the Chelsea team, he could play their style in my opinion, as they play a very direct type of football, the problem now is how much money do they have to bring out to buy him, would they want to do that?

Coutinho left Liverpool too early, his career has nose dived since he left. Such a shame because he is a fantastic footballer, extremely gifted.

You might be right on that. It's pretty disappointing to see how he ruined his career with his poor transfer choices. With this huge price tag it will be pretty difficult for him to get a foot back on the ground. Everyone will rate him by his price tag and if thats still something between €60-80m, he is clearly not delivering what people are expecting. He still has his brilliant moments, but honestly if you compare him to other midfielders at Bayern currently, most of them are doing a better job than he does.

If i were you, i would never say Coutinho has ruined his career. He made a huge choice about winning trophies, and he got them at barcelona.
He left Liverpool because he was joining the best team in europe on paper, only for him to dwell in messi shadows, just like neymar.

If i were coutinho, i would find a team that wants me for my role and playmaking way, not just to add to numbers.
At Bayern, Coutinho is just another number of attacking midfielders.

Move over United.  Real just showed interest on we could be the hottest prospect in Europe right now...  Haaland.  When Real calls, everybody listens to what they got to say.

~snip~ Haaland.  When Real calls, everybody listens to what they got to say.

It's no secret when a soccer player is interested in the best clubs of all time.
Many footballers have claimed that they want to be part of the Real Madrid club.

When Real Madrid has an interest in one of the players, the possibility of failure to be brought to the Bernabeu is very small, if it is because they do not want to join Real Madrid, it must be because of Real Madrid's strong financial strength.

Ya'll ready to see how my club destroys Haaland's promising football career? 

We all know that Zidane will keep grandpa Benz in the starting XI and Haaland will be our typical sub in the last 10 to waste time, just like Mariano and Jovic

Many players are tempted to want to go to the monster club but if Real Madrid wants one of the players then it can be easily whatever the price is as long as it matches according to the agreement.
Well indeed Real Madrid is very strong in terms of its finances so it's more stable that many popular players are anchored there because they offer fantastic salaries.

Maybe Haaland has also been interested in Real Madrid since long time ago.

Erling Haaland As the Main Target of Real Madrid in the Summer of 2020.
Adding strength to the attack line seems to have become Zidane's main agenda in the summer of 2020, in addition to Karim Benzema, who will turn 33, Luka Jovic, who was bought from Eintracht Frankfurt last season, has also not displayed maximum performance.

According to Marca^[1] report, Real Madrid have planned to bring on the Borussia Dortmund striker who has collected 11 goals from 12 matches this season since joining in January.
