⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[CLS63]

Lying French striker Moussa Dembele is looking to join Atletico Madrid after refusing West Ham offer.
The French striker is going to be moving on loan first but Atletico have the buy option that will bring them down to £30M it will be interesting to see how much Diego Simeone will be relaying on him especially when Suarez is doing great by keeping the Atleti at top.

It will be very hard for Dembele to play much while Suarez is playing so good (9 goals and 2 assists in 12 league games). He may compete with Joao Felix for playing as second striker but he has a quite nice performance too (5 goals and 4 assists in 14 league games). So, Dembele needs to make use of his opportunities when he has the chance.

some new transfer rumors...

Sébastien Haller join ajax amsterdam

It would be the most expensive transfer of the winter so far: West Ham striker Sébastien Haller is set to join Ajax according to French sports newspaper L’Équipe.

https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/west-ham-forward-haller-to-join-ajax-most-expensive-signing-in-dutch-club-rsquo-s-history/view/news/377280

Ajax coach Ten Hag worked before with Haller at FC Utrecht.

He will be good enough to replace Huntelaar which retires after this season at an age of 37. Huntelaar came back to Ajax few years ago to wind down for a few years but he didn't do that att all. He still scored a lot of goals and was very eager when he had to play.

Transfer news journalist seems to have verified Hallers move to Ajax from West Ham. I think the deal is good for both parties because HALLER has struggled in the English premier league; also it is a big win for both clubs. Ajax get a prefered cf; West ham gets back their funds.

Sébastien Haller played in the second half this weekend against PSV. Too bad his goal didn't count because he was a few inches off side but he left a good impression.

He is the kind of striker Ajax prefer.

Fikayo Tomori

Mohamed Simakan of RC Strasbourg Alsace is AC Milan’s top target to strengthen their squad at the back. However, the 20-year-old centre-back is being courted by a number of other clubs, including at least two Bundesliga sides. According to Sky Italia, the Rossoneri are looking for an alternative as a precaution. As a result, Chelsea defender Fikayo Tomori is understood to be on their radar as well now.

What has Haller done at West Ham to justify a move to giants Ajax? That guy was average at best for West Ham, weird that he managed to attract the interest of Ajax.

Very strange transfer this one.

Just because one team is getting a new player, doesn't mean that the team will give him the reigns neither. I am sure dembele will play well with Suarez, dude could be a bit old but he is still awesome and athletico madrid looks like they are going to win the league for sure, which is the whole deal right now, to win the league.

Dembele will be a great addition for that, if nothing else he could be a great bench player for when Suarez can't play, but obviously you do not pay 30 million dollars for a bench player, I just assume it would be more like striker, and player behind type of situation, Suarez has more technique while dembele has more fierce power, and when you combine that together it creates a great situation for you. What I think could potentially happen right now would be playing like one and two punch combo together.

Juventus are in talks with Sassuolo to make a move for their centre-forward Gianluca Scamacca (22). He is on loan at Genoa now. He has played in 15 games so far. He have 6 goals and 1 assists. He played better in especially Coppa Italia (4 goals).

Luka Jovic returned back to the bundesliga and his old club eintracht trankfurt

Will Luka Jović return from Real Madrid to Eintracht Frankfurt? According to a report from Serbia, the deal is already done. The striker is expected to arrive in Frankfurt shortly. German media are a bit more careful, however. The deal is not done yet but Jović is hopeful that his wish to return to the Eintracht will be soon fulfilled.

Since trio midfielders Casemiro-Kroos-Modric are irreplaceable, Pogba must have difficulties to play regularly. Instead, I am sure he will get more time to play regularly in Juventus.

But if he goes to Madrid, I will be happy. I remember Modric was old, if Pogba came he could be his replacement. In addition, Zidane is already thinking about long-term plans considering Pogba's age is not old. Although not for the near future maybe in a year or two year he will be a major player. Not only Modric, I think he can be a substitute for other Real Madrid midfielders. Because I saw when one of them was absent Madrid's performance was not good.

Atletico always have bringed out a great strikers and I think they are looking for a future replacement for suarez and they are maybe going to integrate him slowly in the squad and give suarez a break from time to time as he is contributing with more then 30% of their goals in the league also since Diego Costa left i don't think that they have the proper replacement for Suarez so Dembele will ensure that they have got a solid player to relay on.

But if he goes to Madrid, I will be happy.

Me, too. I am a Real Madrid fan, bro. 
Of course, it should be an advantage to have Pogba on the team because he is a very talented player. But I think the chance to have Pogba on Real Madrid isn't as big as a chance for him to go Juventus.

I remember Modric was old, if Pogba came he could be his replacement.

Yup, but you should know how a new player often gets the opportunity to play in his first journey in Real Madrid. I doubt Pogba doesn't like it, and he realizes the chance to play regularly isn't as good as in Juventus.

I agree Atletico have always had good strikers, and now signing Dembele is a very good decision. Moreover, Atletico do need a replacement for Suarez
if Suarez is injured and cannot play after losing Diego Costa. Now Atletico are top of the table in La Liga, in order to make Atletico play consistently
and continue to score goals in every match, good strikers are needed. And I believe Moussa Dembele can do that

[Lewan]

A news came out that Henry Onyekuru is coming to Galatasaray. This is a welcome development for galatasaray. In addition, Mesut Özil tweeted clearly that he wanted Fenerbahçe, but I do not know if there is an economy Fenerbahçe to cover that much salary.

So another buy for cup ties then to keep everyone fit and rotated until the finals? Juventus have been getting really good cheap buys of late. And grinding out results (when they're not losing haha).

Still unsure how all of this will develop once corona lifts.

I thought Suarez was the Diego Costa replacement? That guy is generally fit all the time,,, I think he was just unlucky to get some injuries in his final Barcelona season, but I think he plays through pain a lot. Has he not been wearing that hand wrap for like forever?

Hard to find a striker suited for Atletico style, a Cavani type would work well.

Ex Germany International Sami Khedira now 33yo is looking to head back to Bundesliga as he is joining Dortmund to replace the long time injured Axel Witsel.
This deal will only cost BVB €2M.

Luka Jovic is getting back to E.Frankfurt on a loan deal. Since his big move from Frankfurt to Real Madrid he never seen his form picks up. His move back to Frankfurt will release the pressure on him that he had in real and maybe that will help him get back on scoring more goals.

Florian Neuhaus the scorer of the winning goal in the 3-2 victory of his borussia from mönchengladbach vs. bayern munich, has aroused the interest of various international clubs
inter, real madrid and bayern are interessted in FH

Florian Neuhaus is one of the big positive surprises of this Bundesliga season. It is no longer a secret that the 23-year-old Borussia Mönchengladbach midfielder has attracted the interest of larger clubs, including Bayern Munich, with his outstanding performances. Should the interested parties get serious, the Foals would have no control over a sale of the Germany international. After Sky already did on Tuesday, Sport Bild also reports that Neuhaus has an exit clause in his contract, which expires in 2024, and names the amount: €40 million.

Timothy Fosu-Mensah (man united) on the way to bayer leverkusen?

Ajax interested as well
Man United’s Fosu-Mensah set to join Leverkusen - Low fee because of expiring contract

Yep he is being medical tested at Leverkusen at this moment. I read that Ajax also wanted him back. He played at Ajax before he went to Manchester United.

I hope that is not the case. Don't get me wrong he is not a terrible player, but when you come from likes of Diego Costa and Suarez, Dembele is not remotely the same level of talent if you ask me. Dude is fine but he is not enough if you want to be at the top of the list.

Barcelona and Real Madrid end up with getting as great players as they can afford, football is a money game nowadays and that is why I believe they should get a player much better than him, they could do like a Suarez move and get an older but much better player for short term, or they could get a young player like him but a bit better if you ask me, I don't know how much money they have but you do not get success without spending a bit of money. If this is the best they can do, they have to get him to start every game very early on to give him a lot of experience early on while Suarez is still there.

Real Madrid plan to sell six players at the end of this season and raise funds to be able to sign PSG star Kylian Mbappe. The players to be sold are Gareth Bale, Marcelo, Luka Jovic, Isco, Dani Ceballos and Brahim Diaz.

We knew that PSG have been willing to reach agreement for Sergio Aguero. He is a target of Barcelona too now. Barcelona really need a decent centre-forward. Griezmann is good but he is more like a second striker. Braithwaite is not an appropriate player for a team like Barcelona. He is not that qualified and his performance is very bad too.
