⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

* MU targets Jadon Sancho, Jack Grealish, and Joao Felix.

Jack Grealish was having a great season with Aston Villa on an individual point of view, he was praised quite a lot of times by pep Guardiola(pep may even be interested in him). He'll improve Manchester United, but I don't think their problems lie in the midfield, United have very good midfielders and with the look of things, Paul Pogba may be staying at the Old Trafford, so I'll think united improve their attack, they need a world class striker and fast wingers, they look comfortable to me in the center of the field.

I don't know how it could be done without breaking the fair play rules all that well. Look at what happened to City, I know we are having a pandemic lockdown right now but before all of this they gotten a punishment of not going to European cups because they lied about their financial situation, so they will basically be making less money and eventually if a person finances a club, that is hundreds of millions of dollars, eventually that money will dry up, look at Chelsea for the example.

So, that means Prince will want to invest and make it better within legal laws and while doing that will want Newcastle to get good and make enough money itself without having to keep spending too much money, you can't just make Newcastle a team that will win champions league without spending a lot of money, there needs to be a middle ground where he spends his money for a while and team gets results and eventually he will not have to spend too much anymore since team is making profits itself without needing the Prince.

I agree that MU are in dire need of a good winger to build their attacking plays, they have good centre forwards and with recent addition of Bruno Fernandes their midfield is doing well, just a winger will make it good to go. Jack Grealish would be a much better and go off with much lesser price tag compared to Jadon Sancho who is grabbing big team's attention with his impressive plays.

MU were also interested in Raul Jimenez, wonder what happened to that..

Does Pjanic coming to Barcelona this summer and what he brings to the Club?
Who will he replace, Rakitic or Vidal?
As said in this article in Marca: https://www.marca.com/en/football/barcelona/2020/05/02/5eab48c4e2704e9f2b8b459a.html
he ''is precise in his distribution and has a wider passing range'' and he will be a great reinforcement for Barcelona.

Pjanic would be a perfect fit for Barcelona's style of play. However I doubt Juventis would be willing to let him go, except they include a swap deal to replace that position. I also don't think Barcelona can afford such a deal when they have a packed midfield at the moment.
Rakitic or Vidal are expected to be part time players by next season, so would Pjanic be a first team player or a part time player?

Those would be such great names on paper, but for some reason I do not think they will all fit in at Manchester United. Joao Felix maybe,,, because he will have Andreas there and maybe also Sancho, but Grealish will not be the same player at United as he was at Villa, he will be like a Maguire. Wonderful player but not suited to the club's style at all.

@Avirunes

Grealish looks a good player but Sancho would be a real match winner, he’s played & performed well in the CL too.

Barca ready to sell nine stars to the Premier League

I think Newcastle can make some really decent signings from desperate to sell Barcelona club, and they might not even be over paying for the players.

The look likely to make a move for Coutinho, provided they are able to land Pochettino has their manager according to Mirror ¹

They didn’t spend any significant money last summer so I can’t see this being true. Didn’t they just get a new record breaking Nike kit deal too?

Back to back CL Finals & a PL title = probably big money transfers.

You are absolutely right on this. I really doubt, that Liverpool won't sign any new players during the upcoming transfer period. Especially with all the Timo Werner news around. Liverpool seems to be the hottest candidate for a signing of Werner at the moment. Especially the transfer fee of about €50m sounds pretty reasonable.

Anyway, Werner could make a good addition to Liverpools squad and I heard Juergen Klopp is a big fan of him. Let's see what happens, but with all the news around, I am pretty sure that Werner won't stay at RB Leipzig much longer.

[ShowOff]

Liverpool is predicted to lose a lot of revenue during the cessation of competition, in one match, they can usually get funding of three million pounds if the rest of the 2019/20 season continues without watching, the amount of loss is predicted to reach 100 million pounds.

Its not just Liverpool who has to surrender their income is reduced if the season is canceled. All EPL teams, I think, will also suffer the same fate even though the amount of revenue for each team is different.

According to the Daily Mail report, Liverpool reportedly had taken the decision not to shop for new players in the 2020 summer transfer market.

I dont know if Liverpool still need to buy other players for the summer of 2020, but without it they have great players on the bench and that can be considered. The decision not to buy players I think is a good decision considering they also had to balance the clubs economy during the pandemic.

[AakZaki]

Coming from DailyMail? For a Football fan who knows his sources very well you can cross out DailyMail as one of the reliable sources out there, DailyMail is some kind of fan page where they only talk about fuzz to create some noise so that they can generate views. If you want a more reliable news source for your team I think the best way to get news is from their subreddit pages and they do provide tier rankings on how reliable the news source is. For DailyMail for any team I think they can be ranked in Tier 3 which is the rank for unreliable news sources.

I think that news sources like the Daily Mail have a point, we know on the other side, like the current covid-19 pandemic where all clubs, including Liverpool, have no income from broadcast rights, stadium tickets, etc. even they have to keep paying their players despite salary deductions. isn't that still a minus for club finances? but here we are talking about rumors, opportunities, or predictions in the future, who knows about that if not the person concerned? but here the media predicts that before it actually happens.

so I think whatever media, is predicting and seeks the truth of the news they convey.

On the other hand Timo Werner finally announced that he won't move to Bayern. Yeeess.. finally! He also said that, if he is moving to another club, another league would be appealing to him.

Look like Bayern is not enough bid to put in the club. also, Liverpool who has very enthusiastic, after Timo said that, Liverpool have the opportunity to put in a bid and compete with another EPL club, Chelsea and MU. Simple I think who's call Timo first, will get his contract sign.

Much as I rather like the guy, and I think he'll be a typical Mane, Bobby or Salah at Liverpool (work rate up, assist up, goals up, cause he'll be surrounded by similarly pro-active go-getters), but this guy's a bit of a higher profile than either of our current three were before they joined us.

I know for sure Klopp only wants players who WANT to be at Liverpool, as opposed to a guy who wants to be at any club who wants him in a different league. But to be fair, courting Liverpool alone and not getting them would hurt his chances elsewhere.

I completely agree with this conclusion. MU needs a top-class striker, Rashford and Sancho can be on the wing. Martial is a good player, but he is not a thoroughbred striker. MU missed Haaland, probably their biggest mistake. I think Pogba will stay in Manchester, he is so expensive, he won't want to give up his high salary.

If this true, I really can't understand what's going on here. Pjanic is a good player (maybe he is not the top world-class) but he is 30yr old, Barca already has a problem with "too old" team.

IMO this is how the Man Utd attack + midfield should look like next season if they want to fight for the league title:

                Werner

Rashford    Maddison    Sancho

       Pogba            Bruno


Those three new players should be what, 250M in total? totally worth it.

[coinlocket$]

Juventus market manager has spoken today this is in a short them what he said

Chiellini and Buffon are very close to extending 1 year.
Dybala was very close to extending but the COVID has stopped for now the negotiation.
Pogba, not so many teams can now pay his salary in this condition.

He confirmed that he is talking with Barca (probably for Arthur).

Nothing relevant but he was talking about a new way to exchange players with loans, we don't know what he meant yet.

[Avirunes]

@Avirunes

Grealish looks a good player but Sancho would be a real match winner, he’s played & performed well in the CL too.

Well yeah. Sancho has a lot of potential and I was only comparing them on the basis of the price tag. Sancho is a very young player and to achieve such play style shows a lot of potential to become one of the greatest player in future. Also United is not a team who would worry about their budget and with them in hunt for a good winger them might gonna get in once for all with the best option available- Sancho.

[Coyster]

Dybala was very close to extending but the COVID has stopped for now the negotiation.
Pogba, not so many teams can now pay his salary in this condition.

With Chielline and Buffon both 35 and 42 years respectively, this could be their last contract extension at juventus, except they will be fine with a yearly extension after every season, till they can no longer perform, because I doubt with their age they'll get more than that.

Dybala was in talks with juve for a lifetime contract I believe? I read that news somewhere in this gambling section, I'm sure he will stay at juventus and I pray he gets well soon(any information on the state of his health?).

Is this to confirm that Pogba could still remain in Manchester United as I thought?

[buwaytress]

@coinlocket and Coyster: looks like Juventus simply refuses to get any younger, but I don't know, I always like seeing teams age and Juventus take it to quite a special level, wouldn't you say?

Now about Pogba, I HOPE he stays. Every annoying expensive superstar that stays at United for another season makes me happy to see their coffers get smaller and smaller. Not that I dislike the guy but he deserves United =p Or they deserve him =p Won't forget how he plundered points against Citeh!

[bullrun2024bro]

FC Bayern President Herbert Hainer recently gave an interview to the German Kicker. He said that its likely that Manuel Neuer, David Alaba and Thiago will stay Bayern. IMHO this statement makes contract extensions much more likely. Why would he say something like that, if the players are about to leave to another club?

Hainer on Alaba, Neuer, Thiago: "We assume they will stay. Why should they leave? They play for one of the best teams in the world, at one of - if not the best - run clubs in the world. They live in an attractive city and we pay them top wages"

Concerning the transfer of Leroy Sané, Hainer announced that Bayern will only a price that is economically acceptable.

Bayern has never put too much money on any of their players and I don't think they will make an exception for Sane, no matter how great player he is. Signing him for free like they do with RL9? Yes, sir but I don't see a scenario in which they will break bank for him.
