⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[nelson4lov]

Liverpool and Barcelona have not given up hope of signing Bayern Munich and Austria defender David Alaba, despite Real Madrid being close to a deal. Everyone seems to want Alaba and the question is what does he want?

Madrid may be close to sealing off Alaba's deal but Liverpool and Barcelona were interested long before Madrid picked interest. I guess it's not always over until it's over. However, David Alaba prefers to be signed by Real Madrid. Says it's his "dream" to play for the Los Blancos side.

This guys career is in the garbage can. He had the chance to go to a team that nurtures young players & gives them a chance but instead he decided to join Real Madrid. How many youth players make it big at Real, the answer is very few. (...)

Every young player's dream is to play for a big team at some point in their career. That's why majority of young players don't hesitate to sign a contract whenever a big team comes knocking on their door. It's a similar case with Odegaard. It's hard to get first team football at Real Madrid especially when you have the likes of Modric and Kroos. Even Isco suffers from lack of first team football.

@nelson4lov this transfer will depend if Zidane is yet managing Real Madrid because currently he’s struggling, and if he gets the sack then this transfer may suddenly collapse. Also what do you’ll think should Manchester United do i.e. let Pogba slip away after his recent performances, or they should cash him in the summer transfer window.

Inter Milan and Belgium striker Romelu Lukaku, has no interest in joining Manchester City. Is that finally the end of this story? Lukaku doesn't seem to be going anywhere.

This guys career is in the garbage can. He had the chance to go to a team that nurtures young players & gives them a chance but instead he decided to join Real Madrid. How many youth players make it big at Real, the answer is very few. Now he’s paying the price for stagnating in the youth teams & reserves, not being able to develop & he’s stood still in his career. He needs to move & play regularly, he is wasting his career at Real.

Everyone's dream is to play for Real, the biggest club in the world.
Young players usually have talent but they are not yet emotionally mature enough and are not ready for all the pressures and temptations that await them in such a big club.
I'm sincerely sorry that Odegaard did not get along with Real, but I hope that he will use this second chance better and finally prove that he is a real player and not just a player with potential.
This has happened many times already and will happen again.

If Alaba wants a challenge, he will go to Barcelona. To be part of their new future. Or Liverpool to help them go for a historic treble which they never achieved yet. Real has done it, and City also, so he wants to taste new success like any young player who wants to make records. These days,,, money is not enough for most people.

AC Milan have parted ways with Andrea Conti. Although the deal with Parma is initially agreed on a loan basis, it is likely to lead to a permanent, long-term contract for the full-back with Milan’s Serie A rivals, who are currently threatened with relegation.

The most valuable player of the Belgian Jupiler Pro League is about to move on. As reported by Het Laatste Nieuws, Krépin Diatta of Club Brugge is in advanced negotiations with AS Monaco. The 21-year-old winger had already said goodbye to his teammates. The French Ligue 1 had been his favourite transfer destination from the beginning.

Atlético have all but completed their first signing for the upcoming season. According to a report by Goal, the LaLiga leaders have reached an agreement on a five-year deal with 19-year-old Marcos Paulo that will be valid from the summer.

It looks like Chelsea manager Frank Lampard is under the danger of getting sacked if the results don't improve in the next games. I really missed the old Chelsea. They were playing way better than this. They have really talented players in the squad but they are still having problems this season too.

I am not sure David Alaba will move to Barcelona and Liverpool, because according to the news I read, Real Madrid almost got a deal with Alaba.
Real Madrid is preparing Alaba to replace Sergio Ramos, but the problem is whether David Alaba can become leadership in Madrid, as has been done
by Sergio Ramos until now. I think Real Madrid's decision not to renew Ramos' contract was the wrong decision. Indeed Alaba may technically be
better than Sergio Ramos, but Sergio Ramos' leadership is difficult to replace by anyone.

Like never before this year we will have transfers only in the last week.

Nobody has money to spend so they are waiting the last week to get the best deal possible.
When the time is running out the seller will lower his price.

It looks like Chelsea manager Frank Lampard is under the danger of getting sacked if the results don't improve in the next games.

Lampard lack the ability to bring out the best in his players he was fully backed up during the window but the result is lesser than expected. He has been given enough time and respect as legend of the club I was expecting his sacking news earlier this week but it seemed he was given another life line. Avant G or Allegri are the next inline

Beşiktaş manager Sergen Yalçın today announced that they are interested in Hulk. Beşiktaş also had an interest for Mandzukic but he chose to go Milan.
Hulk is a legend. If we sign him that would be a great addition to the squad.

Porto and Trabzonspor rumored to have interest too but it's not official yet.

Hulk isn't at a club now and he is 34. But I think that he can still do nice things if he comes to a big club in the Turkish Super League. If Besiktas manage to sign him, he might retire at the club too. Before being without a club, he played at the Chinese club Shanghai for around 5 years.

His China performance was great, just like his Japan, Russia and Portugal performances. I'm pretty sure he can do well in Turkish league.
He's the type of player that can score many goals in the league. Beşiktaş wings and midfield would feed him assists all day. Oh I wish he come. It's pretty exciting move, even in the speculation phase.

I don't know why they need a player from Russia. The level of soccer in the Russian championship is much worse. Besides, soccer in Italy is very different from soccer in Russia. Everything there is different, a different speed of play, a different strategy

Italian football club Fiorentina is ready to buy Russian forward Alexander Kokorin from Spartak Moscow FC for 5 million euros (almost $6.1 million)

Fiorentina currently need another striker because Vlahovic is playing for most of the match . The other two strikers wasnt performing good enough so Fiorentina is probably going for any mediocre player available to sign at this moment . If this deal happened like 2-3 years earlier, I would say this is a good deal but right now I dont think even signing Kokorin would really help them

He hasnt been playing much last two seasons either which makes it worse

If Alaba wants a challenge, he will go to Barcelona.

Do you think he only gets a challenge if he goes to Barcelona? lol  
He will also have a challenge at any club he wants to join. You don't need to hide the truth. Even in Real Madrid, he should adapt faster because of a high expectation from the club president. But it should be the right choice if he chooses Real Madrid as his next destination. Real Madrid is a proper club for him to improve his career.

I believe people are underestimating the quality of Ozil and that is why he went to Fenerbahce. Do not get me wrong he is still getting 7.5 million euro so he didn't suddenly went to a lower level team to play for chump change, this is the team that fights for a title after so many years but second most championship in a decent level league that has a champions league route, so he is still fine.

However I believe he is still at that level where he could have played for a champions league or Europa level of team in one of the five major leagues, premier league was one obviously, or La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A or Ligue one because he was good enough to be in those major leagues and maybe yeah not the top team but he could be a decent starter for the top 10 teams of those leagues easily. No idea why nobody picked him up and he had to go somewhere else.

henry oyunekuru was coming to istanbul tonight. It seems like an important development for Galatasaray. He is a player who is currently lacking. If it comes, it will do good work.
