⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Igebotz]

Both Chelsea and Manchester Utd want to sign Leipzig centre-back Dayot Upamecano. He is only 22 now and I think he is a talented defender.

Manutd is the only english club ever linked with Dayot they wanted someone to pair with Magure, chelsea have many options in this department and was never interested. Dayot is no better than Tomori or zouma so his coming to Chelsea would be a waste. Chelsea priority now is a proper DM to unlock Havetz.

It seems the 4th striker for Juventus afterall will be a surprise.

They are now very close for... SCAMACCA, a young player who can easily be the 4th choice without pretending a spot for playing.

The final decision according to rumors will be this week, on Wednesday.

Dayot Upamecano has been the target of many teams in the Premier League since the start of the 2020/2021 season, such as Arsenal, Manchester
United,  Chelsea and Liverpool. But the most serious is Manchester United who have long been eyeing Dayot Upamecano. I think Chelsea is now down,
because the quality of the Chelsea defender is very poor. It could be that Chelsea will buy Dayot Upamecano, because Tomori and Zouma's game is
very bad, only Thiago Silva played quite well. So Manchester United do have to move fast if they want to get Dayot Upamecano, don't regret
overtaking Chelsea or other teams.

Currently, many clubs are monitoring Dayot Upamecano and interested in signing him in this January transfer window.

Apart from the 4 clubs from the premier league, it seems that big teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Bayern Munich are also interested in signing Dayot Upamecano. But there are indications if Dayot Upamecano will not be sold in the January transfer window, or it could be just a strategy to make the transfer price even higher.

I don’t think that Manchester United will be signing anyone in this transfer window, because they had hinted that they’re planning for the summer transfer window.

Furthermore Dayot is definitely a player I would like to see playing at Old Trafford, but then again it’ll also depend on what price is he available at, and if the price is too high then Manchester United will pass the opportunity to sign him.

Upamecano would be perfect for my team atm (Liverpool). We’re desperate for a CB due to all our injuries, according to reports though we’re not going to be signing anybody in January which is disappointing to be honest.

Folarin Balogun from arsenal to vfb stuttgart?

I hope it's just a loan instead of a permanent deal...
^{- Unfortunately, Arteta prefers "keeping Nketiah" and that's the deal-breaker for him.}

It's a done deal. Mesut Özil's brother Mutlu Özil shared an Instagram story as Fenerbahçe logo and  emoji.
We can see details of this transfer this week.

Finally, one less drama while going to the second half of the season.
Rumors:

• Looks like Sokratis might follow Ozil to Fenerbahçe <sup>[source]
  - It's going to be a 3-year deal.</sup>
• Phil Neville to Inter Miami (as a manager) ^[source]

[Pmalek]

Ozil is an incredible playmaker with great passing and assisting abilities. It's sad he ended up being benched at Arsenal. Benched is not even the correct term. He is not even on the bench, that's how far away from playing he is. He seems to have understood that there is no place for him in clubs playing in the TOP 5 leagues otherwise he would accept going back to Turkey. Maybe he choose an easier league to try and get ready for the EURO. It's going to be tough for him to get ready physically.

It looks like AC Milan, FC Bayern München, RB Leipzig and FC Sevilla are interested in Albert Sambi Lokonga, a 21 year-old midfielder, who is currently playing for RSC Anderlecht. Lokongas market value is about €10m according to Transfermarket.com.

Any Anderlecht fans here? Could he become one of Europe's next top players? I haven't found much about him.

juve and the spurs are interested in Nicolás González from vfb stuttgart

Nicolas González’s convincing season at newly-promoted Stuttgart has not gone unnoticed in Europe. As The Athletic reports, the 22-year-old forward has played himself into the focus of Tottenham and Juventus for a potential transfer next summer.

[Igebotz]

Upamecano would be perfect for my team atm (Liverpool). We’re desperate for a CB due to all our injuries,

Dayot Upamecano Is not the kind of player you buy in a panic market to replace an injured player, he is a big player for the Liepzig side who are not in any position to sell him in January window as they are fighting for the Bundesliga this season. Liverpool are adapting well without VD

[cryptofrka]

TBH, from what I've seen of Upamecano, I don't really rate him that highly. Physically he is good, he's got height, speed and strength and I've got no doubt he can be a beast.

From what I've seen on the ball though, I've got a lot of questions about his ability. He reminds me of Mamadou Sakho, looks incredibly clumsy with the ball and he's prone to possession losses and silly mistakes.

He is a player to keep an eye on for sure but I'd not feel comfortable paying a huge fee for him at this point in time.

It is no secret that the rossoneri need defensive and attacking reinforcements if they are to continue their journey in Serie A and Europe.
Matteo Lovato in defense would be a great add IMHO.

Lyon are on the brink of selling Moussa Dembele to Atletico Madrid


After the striker surprised sporting director Juninho by revealing his desire to leave. La Liga leaders Atletico need a replacement for Diego Costa and Juninho believes that the former Fulham and Celtic forward has already agreed terms with the club.

Juninho told Telefoot: 'Moussa came to see me. He thinks that this is the moment to change teams, that he has lost a bit of motivation.

Manchester Utd and PSG are in a competition to sign Brest midfielder Romain Faivre (22). He is having a quite good season. He played in 19 matches in the league so far. He got 4 goals and 3 assists.

Atletico is looking for Dembele as a replacement for Diego Costa, whose contract was terminated for personal reasons last December.

Atletico Madrid has been aiming for Dembele sometime after Diego Costa left.  although, at this time his old team (Lyon) said Dembele was losing motivation, but Dembele would be motivated again when at the ATM..

According to Goal, Atletico Madrid reached an agreement with Lyon to sign him on loan. There is going to be a €33m buying option too. Joao Felix and Luis Suarez are playing as forwards now and they have a good performance too. I think Dembele will be a good alternative for them.

Dembele is being seen as a replacement for Diego Costa. The abrupt leaving of Costa did created a small void specially when they are so near to being champions. Atletico is betting hard for a win this year. They have been close on the rankings every year for a decade but had just one championship.
Dembele is still in injury and Lyon is performing well even without him. How well and how fast would he be available could make a difference for Atletico Madrid.

Yes, on several occasions Upamecano has shown his skills to be unsatisfactory.  Even if you look deeper into the track record, he has made many fatal mistakes.  I also don't feel very fit to be rated so highly.  Although many clubs look forward to the opportunity to have him, it is not so.  He still needs further learning from his previous mistakes to get the high pay.
