⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Bilgent]

It's pretty much official that real madrid wants to sign mbappe for the next season.
During dortmunds game yesterday it was said that Real is also interested in signing Haaland. Both of them together in one team would really be incredible.
But i can hardly imagine that Real can manage both of those 100+ million transfers. I mean everyone knows that Real Madrid is not afraid of making heavy debts in order to sign prominent players, which is already questionable in my opinion, but haaland + mbappe seems unrealistic even for Real standards.

I find it also extraordinary that Real Madrid will take the financial risk to sign Mbappe and Haaland both. But even signing one of them will increase their attacking power a great deal for sure. Signing Mbappe seem harder than Haaland to me. Because Mbappe may not think of leaving PSG that easy and his demands also will be much higher compared to Haaland. On the other hand, there are many big clubs on the line for Haaland also. They will need to work hard for bringing one of them at least.

@Bilgent to be honest I wouldn’t be surprised if they were able to sign both, because both of them would not be able turn down Real Madrid. Also to fund this move Madrid can sell Bale, Varane and by off loading these two player’s they will be able to generate good revenues which can then be reinvested in buying Haaland and Mbappe.

I thought even remember seeing Liverpool wanting Mbappe at some point. But yeah, Haaland is for sure on the most wanted, but I have the feeling he will remain at Dortmund for one more season if not a bit longer than that.

Real cannot afford one transfer let alone two, unless they sell some of their own stars,,, I doubt haaland+mbappe would do well together too either!

I think Haaland will head to Chelsea or Man City, they are both owned by sugar daddies who aren’t really negatively impacted by corona. Real are in deep trouble financially as are Barcelona, their domination of European football is over for now.

My personal wish would be that Haaland stays 1 or 2 more years in Dortmund and then joins bayern munich, but i guess this will remain a wish because bayern is none of those clubs that is doing crazy 100M+ deals usually.
Also i'm not 100% sure yet if Haaland will really be the dominating world class striker for the next 10 years. At the moment he has a run where everything works out for him almost automatically. Let's see what happens when he stops scoring for a few matches in a row and starts questioning himself. Injuries can also happen.

the Pandemic have hit Dortmund pretty bad they rely a lot on revenue from matchday selling tickets etc while the revenue from TV is not lucrative as the ones from the EPL so EPL teams have not been affected as much of other teams in Europe. And that's why Dortmund will be looking to sell while they can and have another Sancho bow up I think United offered 120M€ and they refused last summer i don't think that they are going to offer anymore then 70M€ this year after his form seen big drop in the first half of the season. I m  mot sure where he will end up at the end but it will be a hot summer transfer window.

Dortmund will have a really hard job to do for keeping Haaland at the team next season. He is showing a marvelous performance and he is literally a goal machine now. So many clubs will be ready for splurge on Haaland. And Dortmund are in a really bad condition in the table. They are too far away from the championship so it may also affect Haaland's decision about whether leaving or not. If they qualify for the CL final or even win the cup, it could also be a plus for Dortmund for not losing him.

I think if they can get a combined 200 million for Haaland and Sancho, that would be quite good. Chelsea already have a plan for 100 million for Haaland and I still think he worths more, and Sancho could still go as much as 100 million, or maybe a bit less, combined they could go for 200 million (or sell one or two more smaller level guys to get there).

I get that Dortmund makes money from matchday tickets and merchandise and so forth but we are talking about 200 million here, who needs that kind of money? I mean I get that running a team is a lot of money but 200 million? Plus, they will have to spend some money on getting replacements as well, hence I do not think that it would be really smart to sell both of them just for covering costs. However, they could sell them to get the money and instead spend it on getting more and better players spread around, instead of 2 amazing players, have 5 great players? That makes sense.

Jadon Sancho (€100m) and Erling Haaland's (€110m) market values are already over €200m in total. I don't expect Dortmund to sell them at their market values. Haaland may go even for at least €150m and I expect Sancho to go for at least €110m also. After selling them like this, Dortmund will be in a too much better financial condition surely.

Sergio Aguero is getting close to join Barcelona on free transfer this summer the 32yo striker could help making Messi stay in for more seasons at Barcelona.
Laporta also targeting Halaand and couple more free transfer targets hoping that's going to change Messi mind over leaving.
On the other hand Juventus have no intention to keep Ronaldo for next season there is no contract talks for extention and it's more likely to be sold so that Juventus may make some money back.

Oh hehe sugar daddies,,, made my day and it is probably not so true actually I am sure they are suffering a lot in the market. Oil is down and business is down,,, even Chelsea owner cannot get his visa to UK renewed since 2019 so he cannot even watch is OWN team play.

Haaland is a cool boy but you are right. He has yet to prove himself and we will see in a few years where he goes and more importantly, how he deals with his own fame.

Sergio Aguero could be a reason for Messi to stay but it won't be enough I think. Because Barcelona need to strengthen the starting lineup much more to be able to be more competitive for the CL and to convince Messi for not leaving and continuing to fight for the team.

Aguero is always injured & he’s 32. He’s a great player & has been elite over his career but Barca are looking to the next generation. I don’t think a move for a 32 year old who doesn’t stay fit for long periods is a good idea.

new rumors and speculations about Christian Pulisic (fc chelsea) and Achraf Hakimi (inter milan)

Christian Pulisic appears to be unhappy with his current situation at Chelsea. According to a Daily Mail report, Bayern Munich, Manchester United, and Liverpool are monitoring the situation as Pulisic is toying with leaving the Blues. The US men's national team captain has played just 134 of 810 possible minutes since Thomas Tuchel became the head coach in January.

After collecting experience in LaLiga, the Bundesliga, and now Italy's Serie A, Achraf Hakimi could soon add the Premier League to his collection. The English paper Telegraph reported on Tuesday that Arsenal and Chelsea are scouting the 22-year-old wing-back.

The current rumours about Roman Bürki and FC Bayern München seem to be false. Bayern is not interested in signing the him as a second goalkeeper.

A very good decision. It's way better to focus on Manuel Neuer and Alexander Nübel. Even if Nübel is possibly loaned out, Bürki doesn't sound like a good replacement. He should stay in Dortmund IMHO.

Aguero is a done player, he was great but now he is not a player anymore?
He is always broken and this season he played less than 10 games probably.

He can bet a good 4th striker for if he wants a low salary or an MLS player nothing more.

I totally agree with you. He is 32 now and also so far away from his old times. There are older players like Suarez who are still like a scoring machine but I can't say the same for Aguero anymore. It wouldn't be very sensible for Barcelona to make him as their main striker. But he could be a nice reserve player.

I think Haaland will head to Chelsea or Man City, they are both owned by sugar daddies who aren’t really negatively impacted by corona.

It is not always to be the big reason of a player to choose that club. Sometimes the big name of the football club is more necessary than money. Chelsea and Man City have no great history in the Champions League, while Real Madrid or Barcelona or Munchen have it. So, I am not sure if Haaland will go to  Chelsea or Man City if he considers his career in the future. It is much better to go to Real Madrid, Barcelona, or Munchen. 

Real are in deep trouble financially as are Barcelona, their domination of European football is over for now.

Even if Real Madrid or Barcelona is in financial trouble, it doesn't mean they have no chance to sign Haaland.
By the way, is Real or Barcelona domination really over? I don't think so.

I was surprised at the rumors that Roman Bürki would be bought by Bayern, because Bayern just signed a young goalkeeper Alexander Nübel.
So I don't think signing Roman Bürki is necessary as the second goalkeeper at Bayern. It turns out that the rumors are false and this is a good thing
for Bayern and Roman Bürki. Because Roman Bürki is more suitable in Dortmund by getting the chance to play more, rather than moving to Bayern
just as a substitute for Manuel Neuer.

I also think that it wouldn't be a good choice for Bayern. Bürki will most probably be in the subs if he comes to Bayern and I don't think he deserves to be a reserve GK for now. He is not the best GK though but I think he is still a decent player.

according to mail Chelsea is looking at Bayern Munich's 24yo France winger Coman to be their potential replacement for Pulisic after the 22yo United States international hinted that he is unhappy with the minutes he gets at Chelsea and he wants to leave.
Chelsea alongside Manchester United are in talks with Mino Raiola for AC Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma' the 22yo Italy international have his contract at the San Siro runs out in the summer.

Agree, he is a great finisher, fantastic player over the years but if you are looking to build a team again, which is what Barcelona need then he is not the man to rely on.

I never heard of that rumor that bürki may go to bayern before and i'm glad that it is not turning out to be true.
Nübel is unhappy at the moment that is pretty much official and will maybe be loaned out to as monaco.
Today i read that bayern wants to replace nübel with ron robert zieler in that case. He was part of the team who won the world cup back in 2014 but it was pretty quiet around hin in the last years.
He is second goalkeeper of FC Cologne at the moment.
