⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Welsh]

Levy is likely to out price most clubs, and I think I would even include Real Madrid in that. The only club I see that would be willing to outbid most other clubs, and actually need a striker is Man City. Aguero recently signed a contract again didn't he? I'm sure I read that, but even if he did hes an injury prone player, and age is only going to make that worse if anything. So, Man City ideally need a top striker, and I'm not convinced that Gabriel is that man.

I do think the best fitting club would likely be Man Utd, I can't really put my finger on why since Man Utd have a rather quick attack right now with the likes of Martial, and Rashford, but I can imagine Kane in a Man Utd shirt. If it was down to Kane, I think he would choose Man Utd over anyone in the Premier League.

I don't think Real Madrid suits Kane, and if I was Kane I would look at the recent movements from England to Spain, and consider whether or not he would be a vital part of that success. It seems players like Gareth Bale, Coutinho who were doing fantastic in the Premier League at the time, moved to Spain, and also become a part of the background. Hazard is another example, but that is mainly through injury.

Aguero done and now Messi will probably stay there too since they are friends.

Yeah very likely be would stay. Lot has changed since Messi announce him being unsettled at Barca. Well good that they thought about it and did it "Messi way" I suppose. That's a good experience striker which would solve problem of Barca to some degree in next season. Glad for Aguero as well leaving from one big club to another.

^ ^  Messi will never leave unless he’s really wanted by Pep and if City had the money to pay for his wages.  But Pep already expressed his desire for Messi to stay at Barca and finish his career with his boyhood club like he did.

And it’s funny if City loses the CL final and Aguero wins it the next season with Barca.  

[coinlocket$]

We don't know why from Spain since they have no role in it but a rumor is rising and echoing.
Cristiano Ronaldo to Manchester United if Juventus will not go in Champions League.

I also agree that only Manchester City or PSG will be able to buy Kane from Tottenham. Moreover, Manchester City do need an attacker
to replace Aguero. But the possibility of Kane not moving is also there. Moreover, based on the news I read, Daniel Levy actually wanted Kane to stay
at Tottenham for one more season. Actually there are many possibilities that could happen, but I think Harry Kane should move at the end of this season.
Because I see no chance for Kane to get a trophy if he stays at Tottenham.

City already has Gabriel Jesus and have played for quite a while filling Aguero shoes when he was injured and made into the the first team picture. I don't think they are in that dire need of a striker but yes every team would love to have Harry Kane and yeah there is a bit possibility but given he is a world class striker I don't think it would happen.

I admit that Manchester City without buying new players is enough to be able to compete in the next season. I agree that the chances of Harry Kane
joining Man City are very unlikely. Because Kane's price is too expensive, although Man City has good finances. But spending such a large amount of
money on just one player, it seemed unlikely. We'll see what the future holds for Harry Kane, whether to move or stay at Tottenham. The more interesting
it is to wait for the development of the transfer news circulating.

Aguero done and now Messi will probably stay there too since they are friends.

It is already predictable if Aguero will leave Man City and go to Barcelona. But I am not sure if Messi will stay because they are friends, it is a weak reason. I am not trying to argue that Messi may go, he possibly stays in Barcelona because he is the icon of Barcelona itself. We know that Messi is like the soul of Barcelona, it is a big loss if he leaves. We are not talking about his role in the field only, he has a big role in the popularity of Barcelona and regular income got by the club through Marchendise or sponsorship.

There are other contenders for Kane in the Premier League. For example, according to an ESPN source, Chelsea are interested in buying Kane and are willing to include several of their players in the proposed deal, including Tammy Abraham and Kepa Arrisbalaga. Another question is that Chelsea are not sure about the favorable prospects of the deal and that Tottenham may not want to strengthen their Premier League rivals, which Chelsea is just like Manchester City, as well as Manchester United. Therefore, because of this, Real Madrid may have a better chance of transferring a player. However, Kane himself officially seems to deny leaving the club, but if the clubs are happy with the terms of the deal, as well as the player himself, then everything will be settled quickly.

It's a good transfer for Barcelona but I'm not sure whether he will be productive really much. Of course there is an example like Suarez. He is just like he was reborn again at Atletico Madrid. If we see a similar thing for Aguero also, Barcelona will be much stronger surely.
When it comes to Messi, I'm still not so sure that he will decide to say just because Aguero is coming to the team.

Your thinking is quite reasonable, there is a chance that Daniel Levy may not want to let Kane go to his team rivals in the Premier League.
I agree if Kane can move to Real Madrid, considering that Madrid rely too much on Benzema and need another attacker of the same level.
Because as I have said, Harry Kane, who is 27 years old, must move immediately to get the trophy. Real Madrid is the perfect team for Kane,
but we'll see if Madrid agrees with Tottenham's asking high transfer price.

Haven't seen him play for sometime now but guess there are lot of players favoured before him in the team. Given his age wouldn't surprise me if he makes his move to Gremio permanent later on or maybe move to some other Brazilian team or MLS team like Higuain did. He wi find good playing minutes and spotlight there.

Transfer rumours:

Chelsea are ready to offer several players, including England forward Tammy Abraham, and Spain goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga, in a player-plus-cash offer for Tottenham's 27-year-old England striker Harry Kane. An interesting idea but what will Tottenham say to that?
Argentina striker Sergio Aguero, has agreed a two-year deal to join Barcelona when his Manchester City contract expires at the end of the season. It still seems to me that Manchester has given up on this player too easily.
Real Madrid have a deal in place to sign Paris-St Germain and 22-year-old France forward Kylian Mbappe. Is this the final confirmation or can there still be some surprises and last minute changes?
Tottenham's on-loan Waleswinger Gareth Bale, is considering retiring when his Real Madrid contract expires at the end of next season. The real question is what will happen to Bale next season and will Real have to pay him even though they probably won’t play?

Numerous sources, most notably Bein Sport, confirm that Messi will stay with Barcelona and renew his contract .
News may equal the joy of winning the LaLiga for Barcelona fans .
It remains to be seen how Barca will look with Messi next season after the revolution as if this was his decision, then it is preferable that President Juan Laporta convinced him of a sports project before the economic .
That is, Barcelona will enter the summer transfer window forcefully to meet the demands of the legend and get rid of some players who have become unable to help the team on young talents.

The transfer window it said to be open on June 9, 2021 which is a couple of days around the corner and closes August 31, 2021 so things may change before then but Chelsea seem to want Kane really bad and if the price added is fine by Tottenham they could let go of Kane.

Argentina striker Sergio Aguero, has agreed a two-year deal to join Barcelona when his Manchester City contract expires at the end of the season. It still seems to me that Manchester has given up on this player too easily.

Yes, City did give up on Aguero too easily cause he was named the club all-time leading goalscorer but remember they (City) once want to sell his to PSG early this year?
In the meantime, I believe Pep know what he's doing though.

It would be really really funny if City lose CL but not really funny if Aguero wins with Barca. They all parted on really nice terms and there is nothing "karma" about this (I hope he doesn't come to my club though I'm not a hater just he's not for us I feel).

Oh and funny was Coutinho coming to us to win, losing to Liverpool 0-4, and then winning it onloan with Bayern and us paying Liverpool 5 million bonus for that:)

I'm not so sure that Levy would like to sell him accepting a cash + player(s) deal. He was demanding 150m pounds for Kane some time ago. I don't know if he changed his mind and decreased the level. It wouldn't be bad to see Kane at Chelsea also. But I don't know whether Chelsea can play for titles in the next season. I know that they are in the CL final now but who knows what will happen in the future.

Fair point (+1)

Damn now I wonder why that^^ didn't boggled into my mind. That would be really funny. I think Pep has the mind and it's only the final last match. Given the experience and squad I am inclined towards City as favourites but yeah couldn't rule Tuch out as well and the way Chelsea squad have played after Lampard left. Tough contest...

I don't think they would value Kepa and Abraham that much to match for Harry Kane. Both players are not in first team picture due to performance. I think we have discussed it here earlier but Chelsea have been desperately trying to offload Kepa and recover the price they paid for him. His value has dropped and so is Abraham's. But yeah cash could be a good factor to trigger them and they need to include a good amount and I don't think they will include much.

[Emitdama]

City is in a very stable position at the moment. They are very good at the three levels of forwarding, midfield, and defense lineup. I don't think they need any new players. They can only work to strengthen the morale of the players now. However, if they add Harry Kane to the team, it will be good for them. But I don't think they need to be included in the team at a very high price.

They decided to not renew Aguero and that means they will need another player. Sure they are good right now, but when you do not have one more salary to pay, when that is off your books, you are willing to usually pay someone else and that is why they may get someone. Do they "need" another player? I am not sure, they could just try to play a whole season without Aguero and everyone else staying on the team and it could work out well, but if they do not pay salary for Aguero that means they have some left over money so why not get another player?

I was thinking since they are very rich maybe they would get Haaland, it is known that Haaland would be gone this offseason and why not City, but obviously it is not going to be that easy to get him, we are talking about 100-150 million and that is not a cheap amount to get a player which is why I believe they have a hard task.

Is this really happening? It will be one of the biggest transfers in the history for sure. Kylian Mbappe has been dreaming about going to Real Madrid for a very long time. It looks like his big dream is finally coming true.
