⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

Ajax just played a match. Huntelaar came into the game in the 89th minute and scored in the 90th and the 91th minute

That's great. This would make Schalke 04 have him even more. 

It's just my thought - Eredivisie and Bundesliga levels are different. And 37 year old is moving to a better league so it sounds like Schalke are playing a bit of gamble to me. There have been many players who have struggled adjusting into better leagues plus Bundesliga is not similar as it was when he was at Schalke. Lot of things have changed.

Although I think it still will be a good deal considering he wouldn't cost much considering his age and contract he has left but still even if they do sign him it would be better if they find another attacking option in this transfer window to play  alongside Huntelaar.

Well he have to decide to play with Ajax for the Championship and Europa Leagua or play with Schalke against degradation.

He came back to Ajax to fight for the championship so I am wondering what he decides. Yesterday after the match he didn't know yet what to do.

Sure it's a gamble but Schalke simply has no real other options here without money and in the current corona crisis. Something that shows even more how desperate they are is a rumor that Schneider, their sporting director, asked Ibisevic to come back. Yes, that Ibisevic, who got in a fight with the assisstant coach Naldo and then left the club right again right after he joined Schalke last summer. With this in mind Huntelaar doesn't sound so bad anymore ...

If AC Milan gets Mario Mandzukic at a low price, it doesn't matter because he is not a match for the club's long-term progress.

Milan will get him for free

Mandjukic is an experienced player and has already played in Italy but he has not played serious football for a long time and it's questionable how much he can help Milan.
However, I have heard rumors that Brazilian striker Pato is close to returning back to Milan, in which case Mandjukic is likely to drop out.

Exactly, I know maybe they are have a financial problem, but it doesn't mean they are bringing old players with around 6  months without clubs. WTH, Another unclubbed players , btw the other rumors is not for Milan, but some club want to bring him, Genoa, Spezia and Monza. Let's see

[Lewan]

The names of İrfan Can Kahveci and Edin Visca from Başakşehir are now mentioned for Galatasaray. In my opinion, Galatasaray has no money for this transfer. It looks like a somewhat difficult prospect.

While they are looking into bringing Spurs Attacking midfielder delle Alli who is not getting many minutes u Derby Jose Mourinho and a loan move to Pochettinho side could benefit his chances to get more playing time and maybe get a call up to play in the Euros in the summer but Spurs chairman is against letting the England International to leave for the second half of the season.

Tottenham don't seem like they will extend Gareth Bale's loan deal from Real Madrid for the next season. He is one of the players that Real Madrid want to sell this summer and I think we can see him in Premier League at a different team than Tottenham.

Olympique de Marseille made an important offer for Milik.

7m + 2m bonuses.

The contract of the player will ends on 30/06/2021 so from 1st February (2 weeks) he could sing for free to anyone.

However, I have heard rumors that Brazilian striker Pato is close to returning back to Milan, in which case Mandjukic is likely to drop out.

Why Milan targets old players? All the strikers rumored to go Milan are old players, Mandžukić, Diego Costa, and Pato. Is the reason because of the cheap funds to sign them? I think Milan should choose a young striker if they want to plan the striker for the long term. Now Milan has Ibra who is also already old, so the new striker ideally is a younger player.

First, Mandjukic was on the radar of AC Milan long ago though the club was after Luka Jovic but decide to choose Mandzukic after Luka Jovic agreed to move back to his former club (Eintracht Frankfurt) and we both don't know the reason why the club sees Mandzukic as the right player for the job. However, you consider him to be an outdated player but he played beautifully last year.
Speaking of Diago costa, I don't see him coming to Italy cause he seems to focus on the premier league.

In my opinion Mandzukic is the right player for AC Milan, even though he is 35 years old as long as he can still contribute, there is nothing wrong
with recruiting Mandzukic. Regarding Diego Costa, this player should be avoided, because in addition to his expensive salary, Diego Costa has
bad emotions too. Moreover, if you see his declining performance when he played for Atletico Madrid, very unworthy of signing Diego Costa.

I dont know the reason why AC Milan sees Mandzukic as their man but he must worth playing for the club for him to be on their radar for long period before they later pay for his transfer.
About Diego Costa, you are right and I could remember when he play under Mourinho when he Manages Chelsea Costa wasnt happy with the coach decision when he chose Kenedy and the next Costa did is to show his frustration habit by throwing his bib but I couldn't remember the club they play against.

Well, I would be right to say things have definitely not gone as planned for Gareth Bale after his return to London with Tottenham, he has had little or no playing time, struggled with injuries in the early period of his return, limited to only a few cup games etc, I don't think this is what Gareth Bale hoped for, and Spurs must be looking at him right now as being surplus to requirement, and I'm sure they'll not push to make the deal permanent.

Having said that, the dilemma is where Bale goes from here, I don't think he can play for Madrid again, except he's content in seeing out his contract whilst staying at home (cause he doesn't make matchday squads) for the entire time, Bale could very well end up in China/somewhere less competitive, or maybe a small club and see out his career, it looks over for him at a top level.

Fenerbahçe signed two young players, Bright Osayi-Samuel from Queens Park Rangers and Attila Szalai from Apollon Limassol.

Attila Szalai is a promising central defender, he also plays for Hungary national team. This might be a good addition for the rotation.
Osayi-Samuel will come to Fenerbahçe at the end of the season. I don't know why QPR couln't renew his contract. I guess Fenerbahçe offered a better wage. We'll see details later, right now we only know it's a four-year contract.

Transfer rumours:

Marseille are in talks with Napoli over a deal for 26-year-old Poland striker Arkadiusz Milik, who is also wanted by Juventus and Atletico Madrid. Where he will go finally? There is great interest in this player.
Bayern Munich have approached Real Madrid about signing Brazil defender Eder Militao, 22, as a potential replacement for Austria left-back David Alaba, 30, who seems to be on the verge of joining the Spanish side. Is a big deal in sight? This could be a very important player for Bayern.
Jose Mourinho wants to bring Denmark midfielder Christian Eriksen back to Tottenham with Inter Milan looking to offload the 28-year-old playmaker. Will Eriksen accept this invitation?

Arsenal and Mesut Özil announced that they mutually terminated the agreement. This news brought Mesut one step closer to Fenerbahçe. Good luck to Fenerbahce.

[Darkoth89]

Not sure if it was mentioned here already but it really fits in here, even though it's not a top club signing one of the big stars. DUX Internacional de Madrid, a club from the third Spanish League just signed David Barral. What makes this deal special, you might ask? Well, apparently it's been the first deal in professional soccer that was completely paid with crypto currencies.

Probably best for both Arsenal & the player. It can’t be fun for Ozil being cast aside with no games & for the club, he was being paid very well to effectively do nothing.

According to rumours, Jose Mourinho wants to bring Inter midfielder Christian Eriksen (28) back to his former team Tottenham. He hasn't played at Inter much and he was way better at Tottenham before.

From the rumor I mentioned before, one of them come true, AC Milan officially brought Soualiho Meite on Loan for 6 months and buy options end of season. Now rumors about Mandzukic look like gone, and the hottest rumors is Milan give an offer to Chelsea for Fikayo Tomori with 18 months loan and buy options. If this happen again, Milan have two new young players in squad.

Very good move from AC Milan. I love the way they are planning things. They have good squad and they are trying to fill the squad with some young talents. They in previous transfer window got JP Hauge who is a great young player though he isn't getting much time as he did in Bodo/Glimt but still I  think he will be a regular in starting lineup soon.
