⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[DIA7]

An Italian press report stated, today, Tuesday, that Barcelona intends to enter the race with Tottenham, to sign Argentine Christian Romero Atalanta defender, this summer.
Romero is considered one of Spurs' most important priorities in the current summer Mercato, especially after the transfer of Belgian Toby to the ranks of Al Duhail.
According to the “Football Italia” website, Tottenham made an offer to Atalanta worth 40 million euros, in addition to 10 million in bonuses, in order to win the services of Romero. However, this offer is still far from the asking price (60 million euros) for the player who recently won the Copa America with the national team of Argentina.

According to today's news, it looks like Lukaku doesn't intend to leave Inter this summer as he is quite happy at Inter now. As we know, Chelsea have been interested in him. They have been thinking of making an offer for him if they don't succeed in signing Erling Haaland.

Imo, that's the best decision for Lukaku atm, he is having an unforgettable time at Inter Milan, I don't think he should change teams just yet, he struggled in his last spell in the EPL, thus going back now may not be the best option, he should continue to develop in Inter and he is having all the playing time in the world, inter Milan treat him quite well, so staying put isn't bad at all for now.

According to Goal.br (DAZN)

Juventus and Kaio Jorge are really close to getting a deal, they already have a deal with the player they need to find a deal with Santos.

Well, Dortmund is always working that way. Picking new fresh players for few cents, making them good players and champions then sell them for +300% their initial price if not more. The only thing that I didn't fully understand is why they are keeping Haaland although they have a very good offer for him from Chelsea around €150k! I mean if they are planning to compete for CL or Bundesliga title they would kept Sancho also with the team

they are not so much under pressure from good results. they can give more space to young talented and unproven players, big clubs don’t have that luxury. Any season without trophies and serious results are bad, and they are looking for players who will surely bring improvement. Of course, they cost much more.

Also, if Manchester United is interested in some player, his price going to be much higher in relation to what the price would be according to Dortmund interest.

their biggest profit comes from selling players as well until the big clubs sell the best players. For example, how much Barca could get for the Messi a few years ago, but they did not sell it. Borussia will sell it immediately for a generous offer.

If I had such an opportunity, I would have taken Ronaldinho to the team. The way he played, his play-style, his dribbling I still miss. I really love this player. I would have been fascinated by the pairing of Ronaldinho and Messi in Barcelona. Together these two had the ability to knock down any team's defense. Who would you choose?

Def Beckham but the young and brash Man United Beckham.  But I don’t mind seeing the mature Real Madrid Beckham too.  We need these type of characters on the pitch esp in these tough times.

Ronaldinho a close second for the reasons you mentioned.

[cryptofrka]

Kounde could be a really good deal for Chelsea. I don't really rate him high yet but he's got a lot of potential and Chelsea's really thin in central defence. They have a lot of players there (Zouma, Rudiger, Silva, Christensen) and plenty of fullback options that played as one of the 3 CB-s (James, Azpilicueta) but Rudiger is the only one of their centerbacks that performed on a high enough level.

Barcelona and midfielder Ilaysh Moriba still cannot agree on a contract extension. Blaugrana is leaving for Germany today to continue pre-season training, but the 18-year-old will not be recruited, according to Marca. Moriba is dissatisfied with the terms of the contract offered by Barcelona. He thinks he deserves more given his performances last season.

in the current pandemic conditions, of course, barcelona must be able to manage their finances well, especially now that barcelona is in serious financial problems, forcing barcelona to cut some of their player salaries and that is what currently makes barcelona and Ilaix Moriba not yet agreed on a contract extension, Moreover, Ilaix Moriba asked for a fairly high salary from the Barcelona team and this made Barcelona want to release Ilaix Moriba to another club, now many clubs are interested in Ilaix Moriba including Real Madrid, Manchester City and Chelsea and due to the high salary demand, Currently Ilaix Moriba Ilaix is ​​not included in the Barcelona pre-season either the first team or Barcelona B.

@examplens one key reason is they won’t sell now is because irrespective of how Halland performs they’re bound to get €75 million next year for him, so why not use him to compete in the league and make most of his talents. Furthermore by selling Sancho they have balanced their books, hence there’s no financial pressure on them right now.

Borussia Dortmund are interested in Merih Demiral, who is leaving Juventus, and their director Sebastian Kehl spoke about it in an interview with Bild. BD are looking at the market for defenders but want to wait to see how the situation related to their own players evolves: Zagadou and Koulibaly should return in autumn, Emre Can is already back and it remains to be understood what happens to Hummels. What is certain is that given the crisis due to the Covid-19 they have had big losses and must be careful with the budget.
This greatly reduces the potential of Borussia in the coming season.

Yes, they are financially ^{Borussia Dortmund} safe now. They have enough money for next season but because of the big ^Sancho sale.
On another side, Manchester United don't need urgently to sell any player because of the low budget. they only sell players who are not competent enough or those who want to go. For example, only main sponsors (Adidas and Teamviewer) pay them £120+ mill per year.

to this whole deal and the whole development of the players or the leagues, there is a very nice caricature
the english clubs are already waiting for JB to be formed in dortmund...

That's hilarious.
I wonder they will sell Jude Bellingham for how much and which Premier League team next. They already paid 23 million Euro so I believe their expectation is big for this investment.
This year they signed Donyell Malen from PSV for 30 million Euro and it's 5 year deal. We can expect same future transfer for Malen too. Dortmund need more money machines at club building.
They don't want to sell Haaland but I see it's too hard to keep him this year after all these crazy offers. We may hear official deal anytime.

Dortmund is known to be smart in investing in players, several times Dortmund bought players and managed to sell them at very high prices.
After successfully selling Jadon Sancho, there is a possibility that Dortmund will sell Jude Bellingham to a Premier League team for a fantastic price.
Dortmund recently managed to buy Donyell Malen, in the next few years it is possible that Donyell Malen will also be sold by Dortmund.
If Dortmund can do this consistently, there is a possibility that Dortmund will become one of the richest teams in a decade. I'm curious about
Dortmund's strategy in selling Haaland, because many offers have come in for Haaland but Dortmund are still rejected. But I believe in the next
few weeks it is likely that Chelsea will buy Haaland for a very high price.

Yeb they should be good for the next and coming Season on the financially side.
I guess if the Sancho deal and transfer was not done they would have already said yes to the Haaland transfer.

The problem they would get if they selling him is that they dont have any very good striker in there Team.
I think that they not sell him this year and he will be playing in Dortmund one more season.

In fact, this post of yours shows how football today has become just business.

Of course, money is important for a football club, but some of them prefer to buy/sell players and make a profit with it instead of building a solid team able to win big championships.
I'm not saying that Dortmund is one of them, but his account exemplifies exactly how this can be profitable and prevail over other technical aspects that often end up discouraging coaches.

According to the news, Manchester City are ready to offer £75m plus add-ons for Aston Villa's talented midfielder Jack Grealish. But it looks like it is valued as £100m at Aston Villa now. So, I don't think that Aston Villa would accept this offer. They wouldn't like to lose their best player for a price less than they expected.

According to Transfermarkt, Jack Grealish value is estimated at €65m (£58.5m) which is logic imo. I could understand trying to sell him for £75m but £100m is a little bit abusive I would say. Some EPL teams are overestimating their English players.

I think it's just because they have an offer from a big team like Manchester City, so it's a good opportunity to sell a player with a high price. If the player is not released, they may have to sell him at a much lower price for the next few season. Actually, I hope that Manchester City will not only be able to buy a player with a high price, but must be comparable to the talent that the player has. If the players are not talented enough, then I think Manchester City is just gambling to sign players.

...

and bvb has been using this strategy for years...
in 2010 no transfer fee was paid for Shinji Kagawa and in the season 12/13 he moved for almost €15m to manschester united or another example Ousmane Dembélé moved for €31.50m from stade rennais to bvb and a year later he left dortmund to bracelona for €121.50m

After Varane left, Real really needs another centreback. They lost both 1st choice options from the previous season, they brought in Alaba though but so far they can pair him only with Eder Militao. They have Nacho as well, but no other senior centrebacks.

If they do not bring a top-class, first 11 CB by the end of the transfer market, they are really playing with fire. And from what I've seen so far, the media isn't really connecting them with any.

They have both alaba and militao, do they really need one more? I understand that Ramos and Varane left together and that is why many people keep saying that Real needs another but I just think that they do not really "need" one more, if they end up getting one then it is going to be good of course, when have we seen another good player not being needed, hell they can get a good player in any place and as long as that player is better than what they have it will be great.

Benzema is a great player but if you get haaland it is going to be obviously good right? That is the kind of thing I am talking about. Which is why I think it is quite obvious that we should not be focusing on a center back news from them, we should be looking to hear just a big news, in any position because if you ask me they could definitely handle the whole season with alaba and militao, that is not too bad.
