⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[AndySt]

Lionel Messi is on the closing on renewing his contract with Barcelona this summer. After his contract with Barcelona expired last June.
According to the Spanish newspaper "Sport", Barcelona reached in the last hours a final agreement with Messi regarding the renewal until 2026.
Sources close to Barcelona indicated that there were some marginal matters that were pending in the club's agreement with Messi, but they were resolved in the last hours.
The sources confirmed that Messi had already agreed to reduce his salary in the new contract by 50%.
The Spanish newspaper said that the official announcement of the renewal does not lack only an agreement on reducing salaries in Barcelona. And "Sport" added that Messi's contract renewal will become official in the next few days.

Are you sure that this endless soap series can be considered complete? In any case, Messi must agree to a salary reduction, because these are the new post-pandemic realities and requirements of La Liga. How this will be formalized is a completely different question, over which the lawyers of the Barcelona club have been fighting for several months. As far as I understand, all payments worthy of the level of such a big player and a club legend are spread over the years and taking into account the subsequent move of Messi to the United States of America, so I would advise to treat with great caution the rumors that say that Messi will earn as much as before the academy times. The market has narrowed and I am not sure that Barcelona will finish finishing its club budget even for such a player.

Real Madrid may sell midfielder Martin Edegaard.

Are you referring to Martin Ødegaard?
Why don't just loan him to another club? It should be better than selling him now.
He is one of the most promising attacking midfield in Real Madrid. He showed a quite good performance in Arsenal in the last season. His value is also always increasing, he is a Real Madrid asset. There is no reason to sell him right now, just consider loaning him if Ancelotti doesn't want him on the squad.

Granit Xhaka's Arsenal U-turn seem to be a shock to Arsenal fans.It was reported that Xhaka is very close to joining Jose Morinho's  side,Roma.According to reports,Morinho Identified Granit as a priority to boaster his squad next season,and a deal was reported to be very close after agreeing personal terms,but the deal is said to have collapsed after Roma failed to meet Arsenal's valuation of the player.

Chiellini has signed a new contract with Juventus for 2 years, until 2023. I think Chiellini is one Juventus of Legendary, he creates many achievements among 9 scudetto, 16 years is a very long time, I'm also happy Juventus make him new contract despite his age is not young again. at the moment, Juventus has got for replacement Ronaldo, Kaio Jorge the young boy from Santos, but he still need have a lot to learn from Ronaldo which finished the contract in June 2022.

I was a bit disappointed when I heard Xhaxa rumoured transfer move to Roma however I am now pleased that the move wasn't sealed, Xhaha has been a very good midfielder in Arsenal and occasionally deployed as a left back he is an asset that shouldn't be allow to let go at this point in time when Arteta is trying to strengthen the squad, we all know him with accurate shots on goals and final passes which can change games recall his clever pass that resulted to his country equalizer in the just concluded Euro2020, I he has more to offer this season  athough he more aggressive and prone to bookings I believe he will change that attitude.

Chiellini is a living legend to me. He is an awesome player. His outstanding performance at Euro has fascinated me. He is also outstanding as a captain. Stays mentally cheerful and helps players to be mentally tough.
Is it at all possible to get a replacement for Ronaldo? Kaio Jorge is talented, it looks like his future is very good. If Ronaldo guides this young boy properly then maybe Kaio Jorge will become experienced.

according to transfermarkt.co.uk liverpool is interested in canadian forward Jonathan David who is currently under contract with losc lille

Furthermore, there are obstacles for Liverpool to sign David. The Reds have to free up their overseas Brexit quota to bring on the CanMNT striker. Xherdan Shaqiri and Divock Origi are for sale. Lille would want to at least recuperate the fee paid to Gent last summer (€27m). Despite Lille's financial problems, the Ligue 1 champions would want at least his market value (€35m) to agree to a transfer.

Then Firmino for sale? It is a good idea to bring in some young player for future but they already have two players Jota and Firmino playing upfront. I don't see any transfer news regarding Firmino and Jota just came in and has impressed so far at Liverpool ever since he arrived so I don't think in any way he would. Oh maybe selling Origi will free things up.

Xhaka is a really great player but it is kinda weird to see him play at arsenal and then compare that to his performances in the national team. During the EURO 2020 he was one of the best players of the tournament for me and he was one of the main factors why switzerland managed to beat france in the round of the last 16. When he plays for arsenal though he seems like a completely different player most of the time to me. It seems that even he appears to be such a tough players that he is also very sensitive and needs to feel appreciated and valued and that seems to be the case in the swiss national squad but not at arsenal. I hope that he and arteta find a way around that so he can show some great performances at arsenal too.

As the article says and it's a fact from now on, Brexit brings changes that affect all the teams including the Reds. So, if they want to sign David, they must first sell someone from their transfer list. I really don't know though if it's a good idea to loan some out, since they will be legit to their FFP regulations as well...

According to Goal.com, Newcastle have asked for Juventus player Aaron Ramsey for a possible move there. Aaron Ramsey is "persona non grata" at Juventus right now. He is just a financial burden for the team. So I assume that Juventus would say OK to this deal as long as they get a good offer.

I remember Aaron Ramsey from back in the day at Arsenal-fc, played some really nice football but am even surprised to hear that his still playing. How old is Aaron by the way?

Like you said his "just a financial burden for the team" then most likely i see this move a done deal and his leaving at a giveaway price,  hope Newcastle find some value in him too!

What does the last line say here..someone interpret, is this Cristian Romero move to Tottenham Fc fake news or it's happening?

Good signing, they needed one to patch their defence up after Toby left for Qatar club. I am not sure if he is good but yeah surely overpaid. 25-30m mark would have been a good one.

What does the last line say here..someone interpret, is this Cristian Romero move to Tottenham Fc fake news or it's happening?

No, Romero to Spurs is almost done and that, Romano is speaking about other player which was heavily linked in rumours to move to Spurs. Croatian player Duje Caleta-Car: https://www.transfermarkt.co.in/duje-caleta-car/profil/spieler/238266. Never heard of any rumours linking this name to SPurs though.

Did anybody watch that Romero guy? I caught a few Atalanta games in the last few years, guy never really stood out in any of them. From what I've seen - he's not really fast, not really strong, not really smart and not really good at passing - so to me really looks like an average player.

This is really a huge amount of money for a defender in this market, more than what United paid for Varane. If anybody did watch him for a prolonged period of time, care to write a few sentences about his playstyle?

I also never heard of Cristian Romero before which does not mean that much because i am not a Serie A expert but usually i know at least the popular and best performing players of the big european leagues. There are many reasons for the high transfer fee though if that number turns out to be true. He is still pretty young for a central back as he is only 23 years old, which means he already has some experience but still has potential to improve and if he does not experience any big injuries he can still play for 10 years at top level. The second reason is, that Tottenham is a english club of course and everyone knows how much money they get every year from that astronomical TV-contract. So english club always have to pay a bonus like in this case 55M€ for a player that has a market value of 35M€.

[gabbie2010]

A bid to sign Lukaku for €85M by Chelsea with Marcos Alonso included in the deal was rejected by inter  although some   soccer Tabloid reported that Inter could agree a deal worth €120M to  sell him. might cost high for Chelsea afterall efforts by them to sign Haaland proved abortive, Chelsea are desperately searching for a quality striker to Kickstart a new season although Lukaku has reaffirm his commitment to stay in Inter despite the fact that the club has some financial crisis I think Inter will sell him so as to settle some debts and lessen the club financial burden the sign on fee is huge although selling him will make it difficult to defend their title and with the departure of Conte will no doubt render Inter to become weak team this season.

[Kusman]

Leicester City, Leeds United and Everton are competing to sign Real Madrid's young right winger Marco Asensio (25). Asensio was actually a really promising player when he first came to Real Madrid. Real Madrid signed him for €3.9m. He has been playing there for 5 seasons. But he still couldn't prove himself. This may be a sign for him to leave and get a chance to prove himself and develop also.

[DIA7]

Recently Mun United have been linked with  every midfielder out there.
It is clear that the club wants to sign a midfielder,
Goretzka deal is 100% impossible. The player uses the name United to raise his salary with Bayern Munich.
Declan Rice's deal is 80% excluded because West Ham are very exaggerating in the price... and the only hope to complete the deal is to bring in Jesse Lingard to lower the price and this seems unlikely.
Campinga deal is the closest in my opinion, and I think the club wants to contract with the player in any way, but the player prefers to wait and study all the offers The offer to him means at the end of the market. If the United offer is the best offer for Camvinga, the player will be Manchester 100% and will not continue with his club.
For the duo Saul and Neves, these deals depend on Pogba's situation. If Pogba stays, these deals will be ruled out. With one of them and I see that Neves is closer than Saul

Yeah, definitely overpaid but Romero would really bring something to the Tottenham squad, he was really inspiring in the Copa America, even playing in the final (probably with injury) after missing a couple of games. Could this actually be Tottenham spending from "Harry Kane" potential sale already ?
