⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

Now Messi want to leave Barcelona Manchester City is favourite to have him https://twitter.com/Betfair/status/1295107457275105280?s=20

Messi bought 2 houses in Milan this year.
Messi was rejected by Inter when he was 17 yo if I remember correctly.
Messi was close to Inter when Moratti was president.

Inter is probably cheating as Manchester City did with the FFP-

If Messi will leave my bet is to Inter.

Inter would be a good option is Ronaldo will stay in Juventus..
Then, we are going to see those two big players playing in the same league again and the competition is going to be strong again.
The new El Classico is going to be Juve-Inter.

the next weeks will be very interesting

Manchester City and Inter Milan interested in Messi?

The 18 year-old Scottish left-back Aaron Hickey will play for FC Bayern next season. According to the sports journalist Nicolò Schira, Hickey is about to sign a 5-year contract in a few days. The current market value of Hickey is about ~€1m and he had 30 appearances for Heart of Midlothian FC in the past season.

There are clubs in China that can buy him as they are cooperated with Barcelona.
Just remember the Iniesta move to Asia.
It would be better if he joins there as he will continue playing football and gaining decent money without really getting the fatigue that La Liga or EPL provides.

He is way too good and still not old enough to have to go there. He can get good money in Europe and most of the players that went to China on big contracts had problems with receiving the money that was promised.

I think there's 0% chance he goes there. I'm reading more and more about the links with Inter, but they don't seem big enough for him in my opinion.

Yes, they finished 2nd and will potentially win the EL but they cannot compete with Juventus for the title and are not good enough to go far in the CL.

But if they won Uefa Europa Cup then surely this could be good for them as they will feel confident for next season and have courage to beat Juventus in next season for double or Serie A as Ronaldo is also not good in Juventus and Inter is doing very good job recently so Messi's next stop in Inter can help him enough instead of going to China or any other way.

The latest transfer market news

If these are the alternatives, Koeman sounds like Jesus Christ on steroids.
I seriously do not understand Barcelona's board, they can bring whoever they want and their shortlist looks like this? How?
2 assistant managers and Henry who was kicked out from Monaco after 6 months after being 19th at the time. Brilliant.

After losing out on David Silva, Lazio are now turning their attention to James Rodriguez.

Interesting transfer rumour. Rodriguez is now 29 and so I wonder what is the price tag that Real Madrid have in mind. Still it's a good love to off load players struggling. His current contract is till next year June. He also has some interest from United and Arsenal.

Ronald Koemann is now officially confirmed as Barcas new head coach.

It's such a shame that Koemann now leaves the Elftal, right before the Euro 20201 and the world cup 2022. He did a great job there and managed to build a strong team. I am sure they would've played an important role in the next tournaments (unlike the last ones). But after he said in an interview back in march that he hopes to become Barca coach one day, it's just logical for him to take the offer.

[Wawa2013]

Finally, Barcelona officially appointed Ronald Koeman as the new coach, the duration of Koeman's contract for two years at Barcelona.
Koeman replaces Setien who was sacked after a few days ago Barcelona suffered a 2-8 defeat to Bayern Munich. What was surprising
was that after Koeman was chosen to be the new coach of Barcelona, there were many rumors circulating that Koeman would be selling
many players in Barcelona, among others, Busquets, Alba, Rakitic, Luis Suarez and Umtiti. We'll just monitor it for a few days forward
whether it is true or not.

^  Ooof..  It feels like Barca could go on continuing it's spiral downwards.  Koeman?  It's hard to get excited about his appointment.  Remember Everton? 

They should've just broke tradition and hired Poch imho.  But would've Poch break his loyalty with Espanyol?

everything is possible if Messi's desire to leave Barcelona is confirmed, Messi's father bought a house near the Inter headquarters, coincidences? During the block for covid, on the Duomo of Milan to bring up the image of Messi, coincidences? Honestly, I don't know if he will eventually move to Milano, but I think Inter is the right team for Messi to end his glorious career and find himself confronting C. Ronaldo. I will focus on Inter as Messi's new team

Hmm,,, strange if all those players go to United. Pogba, Fernandez and plus those guys, how would they fit into the system? Old guys too slow for La Liga want to go to Premier League??

Koeman for Barca? What happened to Poch, thought he was the guy earmarked for it already.

I don’t think it matters who Barca hire as a head coach, it’s always just a puppet with no power. Messi has too much power, I’ve seen him disrespecting his coaches before, it might not be a bad idea for them to sell him now.

Interesting transfer rumour. Rodriguez is now 29 and so I wonder what is the price tag that Real Madrid have in mind. Still it's a good love to off load players struggling. His current contract is till next year June. He also has some interest from United and Arsenal.

James Rodriguez needs to leave Real Madrid once and for all, no more loans if he wants to discover himself once again, I doubt that James would cost much, no doubt he is talented, but he's been a flop for quite a long time now, Lazio is a good alternative, they had a good season in seria A last season and Rodriguez will bolster their squad to maybe challenge Juve next season.

But if United or Arsenal are interested as well, the attention/hype the Epl gets can also help James' career, moving to one of those clubs will put him in the spotlight, and he has been far from that for a long time. I'll be disappointed if James remains in Madrid or goes out on loan, but it's possible, look at Gareth Bale for example.

such a gamble, but it can't be worse than Setien...unless Koeman gets rid of the old guard (pique, alba, busquets, suarez, etc), this will be another Valverde, Tata, Setien scenario where the coach won' be able to control the dressing room

talking about FC Barcelona, this just in:


https://twitter.com/sport_en/status/1296094011980238851  Fulham 😂🤣

[DeathAngel]

Fulham in for Pique, noooooo. I can’t take that rumour seriously, must be total rubbish. If he is to leave Barca surely he would have much better suitors than Fulham?

[coinlocket$]

Some rumors not confirmed:

ManU is interested in Tek they can spend up to 70m €.
Dybala may ask for 15m€ to renew his contract.
Juventus offered 12+bonus.

Pirlo may want to play with the 3 4 2 1.
Arthur will be in Turin on the 23rd of August.

Ah as always I remember to you guys, the market will open officialy on 1st September here in Italy.

Not going to happen.
It is possibly rumors for Fulham in order to hype the fans in the transfer period.
Players such as Pique have good managers that can help them get good transfers with decent money also in the end of their career.
