⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[jostorres]

Alaba could get his salary if he wants to, like 15-20 million range is not really that high and even Bayern who let him go could have paid that, it is not really a big deal. However that agent thing which is really interesting and I find it troubling for a player as well because player changes his whole career for trying to get his agent more money which player shouldn't do, but at the end of the day it is his decision and teams can't change it.

However what could change here is the fact that he could get paid 20 even 25 million from a new club, and pay his agent 15-20 million as well, and it would still be cheap compared to buying him, normally teams would have to pay 50+ million just in transfer fee to get him plus 15-20 million to him, here you are paying 15-20 million to agent which could be considered a transfer fee that is very cheap.

Transfer rumours:

Barcelona are ready to sell five players in January, including Manchester United target Ousmane Dembele. It seems that Barcelona is currently in a very bad financial situation and has no other choice.

Well, if other clubs know that Barca is forced to sell, they won't offer top money. And certainly not in the current Corona crisis. But it seems like Barca has no other choice. It looks like the team could fall apart completely next year when Messi leaves the club. Even former players like Dani Alves are critisizing the club now harshly, saying that Barca has lost its identity. Sad to see everything that's going on in Barca.

About Alaba we have and we got rumors from Italy.

Juventus and Inter are interested in him for sure, remember in Italy if the player will stay for 2 or more years they can use the low tax law, they "only" need to pay salary+25% for the players instead of salary+100%ish in taxes.

This means...

11m+11ishm= 22m/y for the world

11+11/4=13.5m/y in Italy.

This is a huge thing to consider.

More transfer rumours:

West Ham United are set to make a £30m offer for Lyon's France forward Moussa Dembele. Good deal for West Ham?
David Beckham wants to sign his former Real Madrid team-mate Sergio Ramos for Inter Miami. Is this really possible?
Argentine goalkeeper Sergio Romero, 33, is training alone at Manchester United and hoping to be allowed to leave on a free transfer in January. Another failure of this club.
Tottenham Hotspur and England striker Harry Kane, 27, believes Spurs have a good chance of winning a wide-open title race this season. Too optimistic?
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has no regrets about allowing Argentine goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, 28, to stay in the Premier League with Aston Villa. He will probably regret it later.

@cryptofrka Manchester United have yet to officially begin any communication with Pochettino, and some media outlets are saying that they may miss out on appointing him if they don’t act fast. Also in a not so surprising news Manchester United are ready to sell Pogba, for $60 million to Real Madrid in the next summer transfer window, and I’m sincerely hoping that this deal actually takes place.

Well, they better hurry then Poch is a coach I really admire so I'd hate to see him at United. I hope there's other clubs interested.

Regarding the Pogba deal - I also think that transfer sounds likely to happen. Pogba is still a star ona paper and Real likes to bring that type of players.

It looks like there is still a small chance that David Alaba will stay at FC Bayern. I would like him to extend his contract with FC Bayern, but only if his salary is adequate. If he is really asking for €20m+ it's time for him to go. These demands (especially during the Covid-19 crisis) are just outrages.

- If Moussa Dembele manages to join West Ham United for £ 30m, of course, a good deal for West Ham. Especially before Manchester United
  almost succeeded in bringing in Moussa Dembele for £ 61m for the 2020/2021 season, but with COVID19 the price of £ 61m was deemed
  too high.

- I believe that with Beckham's closeness to Ramos when he played together at Real Madrid, bringing him to Inter Miami is possible. Now that
  he is 34 years old, Sergio Ramos has to consider an offer from David Beckham.

-I hope Sergio Romero can leave Manchester United soon, after losing to Dean Henderson. Not even the name Ronero entered as the third
  goalkeeper in the Champions League, because Manchester United prefer Lee Grant as the third goalkeeper.

-If you see Tottenham's appearance in the premier league so far, it is very possible to compete for the premier league title this season.

- Emiliano Martinez in my opinion should be retained as the second goalkeeper at Arsenal, because by letting him join Aston Villa not the right
  decision. I also agree that Arteta will probably regret his decision later.

If he's really only out for money, he will probably end up in Italy. As someone here already mentioned: The taxes there are pretty low for foreigners. If he still wants to win titles, he should stay at Bayern. For me they are the favourites on this years Champions League title again and right now they are the best team in the world for me.

But maybe he just wants a change in his life and see something different than Munich (played there since 2008 when he was 16). In this case he should've just told the officials at Bayern that. Right now he and his advisor really look greedy as hell.

It depends if he wants or not to have a new challenge.
In my opinion, Juve in the next summer transfer window will try to sell Alex Sandro and if they will sell him they need to take a back defender and Alaba is one of the best.

So my guess is if they will sell Alex Sandro they will go all in on him.

[leea-1334]

I wonder who the other targets are besides Rice..  And it's pretty surprising how Lampard is getting this much support from Chelski's board.  This could mean Abramovich is going at it one last time and try to win the CL and EPL next season then sell the club.  I think...  Dunno.

I think I remember reading somewhere that Abramovich anyway is unable to move out some of his investments, so even if he sells Chelsea now, he would not be able to recoup a lot of money,,, and it is seen as a legit investment so I think guys like him need to have "good karma" on their oil money;)

[acquafredda]

What about this one? Juventus ready to cash in on Cristiano Ronaldo next summer amid PSG interest
Ronaldo, 35, will have just a year to run on his contract come the end of the season but Juventus are not planning on extending that further and are looking to recoup some of their initial investment.
Let's prepare popcorn if the rumours turn true.

If it's going to be Italy, Juve is my guess, too.  But right now there are rumours that connect him with all the top clubs from Italy, Spain and England. Hard to guess where he'll be playing next season:


Source: https://www.transfermarkt.de/david-alaba/profil/spieler/59016

And these are probably only the biggest clubs that are mentioned there. He can decide wherever he wants to go and there will be a bidding war between the clubs to make him the best offer. If he really doesn't extend his contract in Munich (still hope he does), I hope he makes his move to the Premier League. Maybe go back to Pep, again?

This seemed like an obvious choice to me for a few years already. City had problems both at CB and LB, they worked together and on paper it really looked like a match again.
Never knew why there was no interest (at least known) for him from City.

I don't see it as a viable option anymore, City just went for Ruben Dias and Laporte is certain to play. Alaba would not go there to sit on the bench, and he does not really want to be a permanent LB anymore.

The news appeared on the Croatian portal Index that the Croatian striker Mandjukic will become a new Celta player.
Is there any more confirmation of this news?
Does this seem like a realistic option to you?
Spanish Marca also seems to have published this news but I can’t find it.

This news has also been uploaded on the transfermarkt site. With a free transfer because he has not had a club since July. Mandzukic has an amazing experience, even though he is old I think he is still useful for 1-2 years. If celta will properly use him I think that's an advantage.

Do you think Krzysztof Piatek could  go from Hertha to Fiorentina?
He upload a photo where he is with Cesare Prandeli - current Fiorentina Coach.
He costed Hertha about 30 mio Euro.

i hope that he will change the club and maybe go back to italy, where he had his best time so far.
since the european championship will take place next year, he needs a lot of playing time to recommend himself for the national team and to get back into his old goal-kit

Actually, and that's probably something most forget, does Alaba want to play as a defensive midfielder, not as a CB and not as a LB. That's where he plays in the Austrian national team. But Flick sees him as a CB and maybe that's also a reason why he haven't signed a new contract at Bayern yet. Now that Kimmich will miss the rest of the year, it could be the perfect opportunity to test him out as a midfielder.

His performance in last Hertha league match  against Augsburg was quite good.
He is announced for starting 11 today against Ukraine, so we should see 
if the he regains good form.

A small rumor here in Italy about a possible destination for Marcelo...

Ofcourse the rumors involve Inter and Juventus, I have the feeling that when they have no info they create news with a duel for a player between Juve and Inter.
