⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

De Paul going to Atletico for only 35 euros! It is a coup and a terrifying gift for Simeone, who loves this type of fighting player.

I just saw De Paul, how he make Argentina to be champions for this year. I don't know why The other clubs like Manchester City, PSG and real Madrid didn't move fast to get his service. I congratulate Atletico they going to get big profit, who knows until next year the price could be 3x.

I have to admit here I have never heard about this guy,,, and that is the problem with a lot of us I guess to not really know the talents from South America (or even all of Americas) to really understand them until they get scouted and seen by Europe. Well done to Atletico for strengthening:)

Sancho is doing medical for Manchester, it will be official probably in 24-48 hours max.

Great player but right now I doubt if there is any English fans who is interested in this news right now after what happened at the Euros, I'm not too confident about his Manutd move, I doubt if he would perform the same way he played at Dortmund. Mauutd may as well switch to 433 formation with Sancho and Rashford on the wing but that's left with whatever the manager tends to play .

according to the polish football portal gol24, Robert Lewandowski is said to be very interested in playing for real madrid in the new season... 
allegedly bayern munich has also already found a successor for RL

"Lewandowski is waiting for Madrid". - reports "AS". A few days ago, the Spanish daily reported that the captain of the Polish national team is within the reach of Real. "He still dreams of putting on the jersey of the Kings, even in the last years of his career. He is 32 years old, but he is perfectly physically fit and has an impeccable diet. He is playing better than ever. Last season he was the top scorer on the continent with 48 goals in 40 games. The year before, he scored 55 goals in 47 games" - Journalists complimented the striker.

PSG will not sign Lionel Messi, who became a free agent on June 30.

Parisians will no longer try to negotiate a contract with Messi, writes El Español, citing Le Parisien.

The Argentine is likely to sign a new agreement with Barcelona. So far, this has not been possible, since the Catalan is experiencing serious financial problems and does not fit into the salary ceiling. La Liga does not allow Barça to register new players.

There have been talks on a possible exchange deal between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid during the current summer Mercato.
According to the Spanish newspaper, Mundo Deportivo, this summer may witness a swap deal between the two clubs, between Antoine Griezmann and Saul Niguez.
Its pointed out that this deal is still in the early stages, but it will provide many benefits for the two clubs .
Saul the 26 yo desperately wants to leave Atletico and take on a new challenge, but he is faced with the crisis of the lack of a convincing offer for Atletico while Barcelona, on the other hand, is looking for a midfielder after failing to sign Georginio Wijnaldum, who moved to Paris Saint-Germain. Griezmann is one of the big wages in Barcelona, so the latter does not mind his departure to facilitate the renewal of Lionel Messi's contract.

What I do not understand about this news is the fact that if ATM is not willing to pay a lot for Saul and that is the problem, then why are they considering Griezzman who has an insane amount of high salary? If they are capable of paying for Griezzman then they could pay for Saul as well, if they can't pay for Saul then they can't pay for Griezzman as well. This is why I am not sure if this is really a good situation to be in, I mean it doesn't make sense to have this transfer.

What I assume could maaaaybe happen, which I still doubt, would be Barcelona getting Saul and paying him fully, while ATM pays some percentage of Griezzmans salary while Barcelona still pays like maybe 20-30% of it? That would maybe make sense, both Barcelona gets rid of a huge salary and then ATM is getting a better player in return, that way both sides would actually win.

Mauutd may as well switch to 433 formation with Sancho and Rashford on the wing but that's left with whatever the manager tends to play .

I hope with this 433 Man Utd formation any hope for Anthony Martial in their starting line up? I believe he is also a good with the signing of Sancho he will surely have limited playing time, I think the manager will prefers the much experienced Edinson Cavani to spearhead their attack as the main striker while Sancho and Rashford plays at the wing, teenager Greenwood is another option although Martial might be used as a regular substitute which could prompt a request for a transfer to another club to enjoy a regular playing time well let hope that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer do the needful in this upcoming season.

Now this is interesting, do you have a valid source for this or does anyone else can provide a valid source ?

The Argentine is likely to sign a new agreement with Barcelona. So far, this has not been possible, since the Catalan is experiencing serious financial problems and does not fit into the salary ceiling. La Liga does not allow Barça to register new players.

Im not sure if anyone else look at the bigger picture of this but if PSG will not try to sign Messi and Barcelona cant afford to sign a new agreement with Messi then this means Messi will be left with no club at all for the new season. Thats basically like forcing him to retire because I doubt that there wont be that many clubs that could offer him a decent wage out there

Good news for Real Madrid fans.
Robert Lewandowski will be perfect with Real Madrid's play of style. He is one of the best Central Forwards in the world, a great striker with the big instinct to score. He is 32 years old, Real Madrid can sign him for 3 years. In my opinion, it is an ideal contract for him. However, it is still a rumor, let's see if Real Madrid will be serious to sign him. But, it is a good sign if Lewandowski really said that he is interested to join Real Madrid.

A lot depends on whether Griezmann himself wants to return to Atletico Madrid and whether Atletico Madrid itself will be able to pay the player's huge salary. All these stuffing of information about transfers from Barcelona sometimes contradict each other, because at the same time there was another information recently that Barcelona does not want to sell Griezmann and Griezmann himself does not want to leave the club. I would also rather believe more of this information than information about the sale of a player, but the protracted negotiations on the extension of the contract with Messi can really evoke thoughts about the reality of such a scenario. By the way, it seems that Manchester City has abandoned the idea of buying Griezmann, focusing on other candidates.

As we know that, his contract with Barcelona ended some days ago, and he's now a free agent. What happened next?
Is there a possibility of him staying at Barca? Or after his contract expired, there's no going back like what happened to Ramos?

Only Lionel Messi can accurately answer questions regarding his future, but in my opinion, the reason why there have not been so much talks about Lionel and where he's moving to is as a result of the just concluded Copa America tournament, I think Messi put every other thing aside to concentrate on the Copa America, he needed no distractions based on contract talks and other whatnots, and now that the tournament is over and he has actually won the trophy he has been craving for, he can now focus on club football and make a decision to either leave Barcelona or sign a contract extension, tbh, I feel Messi will remain in Barcelona.

but the american cup ended and messi is going to take a 3-week vacation with his family and he didn't talk about his future in barcelona, it's very strange all this. Is as if he had some disagreement about staying in barcelona, because i believe that if not had any problem and if messi remained in barcelona then both messi and barcelona would have already come to the press to say that messi will remain in barcelona. All this suspense is not good, in an interview I read yesterday the president of Barcelona, Joan Laporta said that he has made great progress in the negotiations for the messi contract... in the coming weeks we will know the future of messi

Messi was born to play for Barca,no matter the rumour surrounding him concerning his future,at the end of the day,he will still agree to sign a new contract at his club.We should know that suspence is part of the game,atimes you have so many things running through your mind as an individual,and therefore decides to keep your next move to yourself.But I believe Messi  will sign new contract at Barcelona.

Bouncing more and more rumors from Twitter:
Mbappè wants to leave PSG and he wants to join only real Madrid.

Will it be the saga of this summer?

PSG don't need money and even if Real Madrid will offer big (impossible) 500m they will refuse.

No way they would refuse huge money. Mbappe can sign for whoever he wants on a free contract next season and PSG is smarter than that.
If the offer that comes is really low, they will keep him because he's worth more for them in that season that he will play than the fee itself but I'm sure that PSG will listen to 100m+ offers in case they come. I would not be surprised if he was sold for around 150 mil euro.

PSG will not sign Lionel Messi, who became a free agent on June 30.

Messi does not see himself playing elsewhere, the headline is misleading because the PSG I know would do anything thing to get Messi if he was to make any move this summer, Barcelona needs to cut down €200,000 from player salary to be able to sign in players or renew any contract that's the reason Messi deal is still pending because no player wants to take a pay cut. Barcelona is set to release Countiho and Dembele to reduce wages.

between tottenham hotspurs and fc sevilla there will be a player swap
spurs will get Jules Koundé and in return fc sevilla will get the player Davinson Sanchez and additionally 30 mio € transfer fee

Sevilla’s sporting director Monchi is reportedly willing to sell Koundé to London for a total package of €30 million plus Davinson Sánchez. In October 2020, Monchi said on the club’s TV channel: “55 million euros, that’s a lot of money in the current situation. But we saw that Jules Koundé has room for development and we thought it was inappropriate to sell him. It helped that he also understood that and wanted to stay here.”

Unless PSG can "buy" Champions League title, it will not let Mbappe get out for any number this season.

Benzema + Lewandowski playing together? This will require a new tactic but might be a good combination

[youdacapt]

There is this logic that Real Madrid has to sell before they can take in new players; that aside, it is also reality that PSG would not sell Mbappe this summer atleast. The team is being rebranded to challenge again for the champions league, with the signing of Ramos, Donnarauma, Gini and prospect of getting Pogba or Carmavinga.

I think Mbappe would delay contract by an extra year and then get sold for a reduced fee next summer. Will Bayern let go of Lewandoski when it is almost sure no one is buying Haaland this summer? No

Most transfer news are rumours to get clicks and interactions

I don't understand the pay cut, it's like La Liga doesn't appreciate what this player has contributed to the league. Rumors that Lionel Messi is expected to extend his Barcelona contract until 2026. He should leave Barcelona, find a new challenge and move out of his comfort zone.

Football is not about appreciation lol. Messi is not playing for free; and more importantly rules are rules and they have to be followed by the 20 teams in la liga. I will tell you some realities as it is.

Is there any club that can afford Messi - yes, only MCFC AND PSG
Are they willing to break the bank and move for Messi - NO
Can Barcelona afford Messi wages - Yes
Are they allowed to do so - NO; Why, Barcelona pay astrological amount of money as fees and have exceeded their wage cap (which must be reduced by 200m before Messi can pen a new deal).

My question in this debate is that, Does Messi love Barcelona enough to play for them for free ?
If No, Why does Barcelona have to release 4-5 players to sign him up or why does he refuse a paycut?

Lionel Messi contract expired on June 30 and it can be said that currently Lionel Messi does not have a club at all, Lionel Messi has a salary of 2.4 million pounds when he was a Barcelona player and makes Lionel Messi the highest paid footballer in the world, today several clubs are trying to approach messi including barcelona who reportedly want to re-extend messi contract but the problem is now barcelona is in troubled financial condition due to large debts, inevitably if messi still wants to be a barcelona player, he must cut his salary by 80% automatically the salary will only be around 480 thousand pounds later, I think it's time for messi to have to look for another club and it's not because of a pay cut but because messi has to show everyone that he can perform well when defending other clubs both in England and in France as like as ronaldo who once played for several leagues.

I think Messi mentally wants to stay in Barcelona. Barcelona's new president Laporta does not want to leave Messi. They need more sponsors now. With the money needed to keep Messi in the squad, Barcelona will be able to add a few young players to the squad. But I hope that, Messi will play at least two more seasons in Barcelona.
