⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[jaberwock]

From what I get La Liga is basically saying keep the salary cap at 200 million euro at the max. Which means if Messi gets 50 million euro which quite frankly he doesn't deserve today because he got old, he is still entitled to ask whatever he wants, and Barcelona will give it to him just for his historic contribution. However that leaves Barcelona with a total of 150 million euro in salary that they can give, plus they will need to sell a lot of their players as well if they want to drop the salary total.

The latest talks have been around the names of Umtiti, Pjanic, Coutinho, Alena, Neto, Wague, Lenglet, Sergi Roberto, and there are even talks about selling Dembele, and even maybe Griezmann. If they can get rid of some of these players and get a good money, they could both save on the salary cap, and also get their financials back in place after so many years of being in financial trouble. Of course it will be at the cost of success most probably.

The football of people right? Oil prices are good, everything is good
Well PSG is knocking all doors (trying all the ways) in order to get Champions League and to claim back Ligue 1 titles. So yeah, since money isn't a problem they will do whatever they could to create "ALL STARS" team.

I know it is not a problem for them but according to Financial Fair play, they should not be allowed to do what they want with the money.

For example (I'm a Juventus fan but) if Exor(owner of Ferrari, Stellantis(FIAT, Peugeot, FCA, Opel, Citroën, Lancia, Dodge Source: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exor), The economics and a lot more the holding of Juventus decides to spend money it could buy everyone in the world since they have a revenue of 120 billion yearly.

This is not the point, for the financial fair play they can't do whatever they want with the money.

In 2020 they did a passive of over 200m €, and until now they increased salaries by 100m (with taxes) and paid 70+ for Hakimi.

I really do not know why Mikel Arteta will allow Gueudouzi leave.He is a very fantastic player,that is very combative and composed on the ball.Despite is temper which makes him a little difficult to handle or control,the player is a very good defensive midfielder.Nice move for the guy who did not find himself in Arteta's plan for next season.I think he will do well at Marsseille.

That's why I as an Arsenal supporter don't understand Arteta's thoughts, he doesn't give Gueudouzi time to play. Even though when Arsenal was
still coached by Unai Emery Gueudouzi was the first choice, and showed a very good performance. Gueudouzi is a modern midfielder, with good
technique and quality passing. Moreover, he is still very young, so Gueudouzi can develop into a world-class player. Very lucky that Marseille managed
to get Gueudouzi, I believe Gueudouzi will contribute to Marseille.

According to Lequipe Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid, Chelsea and FC Bayern are interested in signing Eduardo Camavinga this summer. The transfer fee will be at least €40m.

In addition to Manchester United, PSG, Real Madrid and Chelsea, Bayern have also inquired about Eduardo Camavinga, who will certainly not extend his contract at Rennes. No offers have been made as of now. Camavinga will cost around €40m depending on the competition [@lequipe]

According to various rumors, a transfer to Manchester United is most likely. However, after the transfer of Jadon Sancho a few weeks ago, the question is whether Manchester United still have enough money left to pay for Camavinga's transfer. I am really curious to see which club Camavinga will play for next season.

Until this moment, Barcelona is suffering from both problems.
No new summer deals have been registered with the first team, and of course everyone knows that Messi's contract is currently suspended.the reason is financial only.the salary scale must be reduced, which is something that Laporta has not succeeded in so far.
But how will he succeed with all the disasters of  Bartomeu?
There is a lot of news about the departure of Coutinho, Griezmann and Dembele, but it is just news, and even if the news turns into reality, it may not be enough. Players who did not benefit from Barca. Their salaries are higher than the team pillars
Umtiti: 12 million euros annually
Sergio Roberto: 10 million Euros annually
Coutinho: 9 million euros annually
Pjanic: 8.5 million euros annually
Ter Stegen: 8.5 million euros
Jordi Alba: 8.5 million euros .
Of course, there is no need to talk about the salaries of Pique Busquets and the rest. The current team to renew Messi’s contract and prove the contracts of the new players, and this is certainly at the expense of many centers of quality and the depth of the squad..

Another one the PSG, clap clap Ceferin.

Ramos only a few months ago said, "I will even play for free for Real Madrid".

Sure. They are talking about 12m/y €

[acquafredda]

Napoli new coach for the next season is Luciano Spalletti. IMHO, he is a completely overrated coach and I had this confirmation when he was in Rome a few years back when he mismanaged Francesco Totti's last football years.
Given his temper and behavior he might not be a good fit for the difficult Napoli environment.

[Avirunes]

Well this transfer window, PSG are playing the money card very well. They got Wijnaldum, Donnarumma, now Ramos. I wouldn't be much surprised if they get Messi but doesn't feels like he will move to PSG just for money. Barca are having wage problems and PSG are pulling on their money card their as well to get their key player. Smart move , PSG

[tokeweed]

^  For all that money spent, why are they spending it on those players?  Lol.  They could recruit younger prospects for those wages.  And it doesn’t seem to be Poch’s style.  I wonder what he feels about PSG’s transfer policy.

Messi or Ronaldo could still be worth it tho.  But it’s only those two.

[leea-1334]

It was not even just Mancini,,, if I recall correctly Brendan Rodgers at Liverpool even tried to take him. It was weird to see naughty boys end up at Liverpool at one point like Luis Suarez as well,,, but I guess it did not work for him even if it worked for Suarez.

And now he has another second chance, after many second chances. I still feel he was a good guy deep inside, let us hope for a late revival?

So far, i remember, AC Milan is considered quite successful in changing Balotelli's attitude, while with Milan, Balotelli rarely causes problems, although there are some, but not as often as at other clubs. Luckily, there are still clubs that are interested in Balotelli, even Demirspor is also lucky because it is rumored that all of Balotelli's salary will be paid by the Sponsor. Maybe this will be good for him, if he can maintain his attitude and can bring his club to stay in the league next season.

Maybe by now he is too old to be his regular crazy antics guy and if he changes his own attitude he can still enjoy many more years of good football, maybe even return to Italy or another big league if his talents and age are still for a good price. Such a shame for him and who knows, if he is on good form with his new team he gets another call up?

Giroud very close to join Milan but not for free as Milan hoped.

Only 2 m, but still. Money.

Assuming Messi decided to leave Barca, could PSG get it without attracting the attention of everyone? and as coinlocket mentioned what about financial fair play?
Honestly if I am in Messi position, I will think twice before staying in Barca since he wants to lift a trophy with them, which won't be CL ones when you see what PSG is doing right now! without counting City, Chelsea..

I think Messi's deal is not just a normal deal,it is like an obligation for him to play for Barca.It like it was included in the deal not to ever leave Barca.Looking at how things are at the club now,and how long he has stayed at the club,I think he(Messi) had thought of leaving Barca,but his long term contract,and the agreement he has had with the club,had made him stig to the club.

It has never existed for them, they were investigating on them.
Now their president is president of the European Club Association and Ceferin sold to him the copyright for something, can't remember for what.

Do you even think they touch them?

UEFA is nothing less than a Mafia.

@coinlocket$ no club can buy Messi without breaking financial fair play rules, and not even PSG or City can get him even if they badly want him so he’s going to remain with Barcelona only at a reduced pay. Also anyone feels for Deepay, because he just joined Barcelona and already has to take a pay cut to make his signing official.

[DIA7]

There are some reports talking about Liverpool's interest in signing Saul for 40 million euros. A player who will give Klopp a lot of options, and ideas that create balance.
He may not have been total agreement with Simeone in the last season. But he is a player with the flexibility of big positions and a strong personality who deserves to go to sign him. Some say that Renato Sanchez is closer to Liverpool's style and to compensate for the late Wijnaldum, the smoothness of taking out the ball and maintaining it, this is what Eredes needs. His numbers gone up after impressing in the Euros so who knows.
