⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[ingiltere]

Atalanta is chasing Juventus' Turkish central defender Merih Demiral. They will loan him for one season and future fee will be 30 million Euro. It's a good deal for both sides. Juventus bought him for 19 million Euro from Sassuolo with big expectation but he couldn't fully meet those expectations. Juve will make profit by selling him for higher price. At this stage of his career he better go on loan and play 90 minutes for all league games rather than waiting in Juve bench.
Atalanta is selling Cristian Romero to Tottenham Hotspur for around 50 million Euro so they replace him with a similar player but they also get 20 million Euro profit. Very good deal for Atalanta as well.

the german magazine kicker.de reports, among other things, on two other interesting signings...

Jens Petter Hauge moves from italy to germany

Eintracht Frankfurt is close to signing Jens Petter Hauge. The 21-year-old, who is under contract with AC Milan, is to be loaned out with an option to buy. However, final details are still to be clarified. The Norwegian had only moved to Serie A in October 2020.

Well, if this interest becomes a transfer, then IMHO both Hauge and Eintracht Frankfurt will benefit. Hauge is a very young, very talented player, a great prospect. Eintracht is a club that gives space for talented players to show their skills.

2. Lukaku gets a big wage cap and another opportunity to show the word he is too 10 strikers in the world

Why, is there someone that have doubts that Lukaku is one of the top10 strikers?
From my point of view, there is nothing to prove to no one. The only thing for sure it's that if he signs for Chelsea (I can't see Inter refusing such a bid) he will make his wallet a lot thicker than already is...

If Inter loses Lukaku it is going to be bad because of several reasons: they will lose appeal internationally, they will have no time to find a decent substitute for Rom, the team will lose confidence and the fans are going to get very angry at the presidency. Chelsea's offer is hug (considering the Italian Football market average) but Inter will not going to spend that money wisely enough in a short amount of time.

It wasn't just a big loss when Lukaku left Inter, because currently Inter are under the leadership of a new coach who needs a player like Lukaku. Simone Inzaghi may find it difficult to improve Inter's position when Serie A returns to Allegri and Mourinho. Then, now many have doubted Simone's capacity as Inter coach, although with lazio, he is not so bad.

No doubt,Chelsea needs another striker,a high profile striker that can score more than 20 goals a season,and Romelu Lukaku can do that perfectly well because he has played in the EPL before,and knows how the game goes,he is a very good striker that fits Chelsea's style of play.Would love to see him in EPL.

Inter still needs to pay Lukaku... If Inter was in another country it would be penalized with a default.
They won a title with players never paid like Hakimi and Lukaku.

It is true that Simone Inzaghi may like to retain Lukaku however Inter are in a deep financial crisis thus needed funds thus if Chelsea brings a better offer they would have no option than to accept it once personal terms agreement has been reached between the player and Chelsea, its a pity that Inter the winner of last season scudetto might struggle this season to defend their league title after the departure of Conte and if Lukaku is eventually sold whereas other Seria A clubs are boosting their clubs with new players

Funny how Chelsea had Lukaku, sold Lukaku and then wants to buy him back again.  I don’t think I’ve seen something like this happen before.    But really now, wouldn’t it just be better to go for a cheaper but decent player and let Werner be first choice striker?  Give him another year to adjust ffs.  Some players don’t adapt in their first year with a new club.

The problem with Werner isn't that he didn't adapt, his problem is that he can play as a striker in some teams (mostly counterattacking ones) but can't in a team that is trying to create chances through possession as well. Most of what he played for Chelsea was as a winger/left sided option, Lukaku (or another striker) will be brought not to replace Werner but to play as that focal point alongside him.

They really do need a striker, a good one would bring them a level higher and they are smart to use their CL win to get the best one they currently can.

Like Manchester did with Pogba.

Anyway, this seems to be a real deal. They are already preparing the following deals if the deal will be done.

Jack Grealish is doing the medical check - if this is passed successfully, JG will move from aston villa to man city for €100 mio

The record transfer of Aston Villa's attacking midfielder Jack Grealish to Manchester City is almost done. After reports surfaced last week that the Citizens were close to signing the midfielder for around €100 million, media reports now suggest that a deal for the 25-year-old is all but done. Dominic King from the Daily Mail tweeted that Grealish is expected to complete his medical in Manchester on Thursday. Sky Sport and The Telegraph also reported that a deal was complete.

Right now it has come to my head that Haaland can go to Real Madrid, apart from Real Madrid has a very good relationship with Borusia Dortmund and apparently the Club needs some money, many are speculating that the Club if it leaves Haaland it will not have the same performance and that they are saving Haaland for the highest bidder, and the highest bidder despite all the economic problems worldwide is Real Madrid, since it is a very solvent Club and I think they want to make many changes at the level of players, I think they want to ensure the League, for now Barcelona has Messi who is a winning guarantee, Real Madrid does not want to be left behind.
 Does anyone think like me?

Do you know how much money Real Madrid has offered for Haaland? Chelsea had already offered Abraham and the 100m, but Dortmund turned it down. Is Real Madrid ready to spend more than 100m? Although they really need a young player like Haaland, because the condition of their team is not very good now. Such a player is very much needed to stabilize the team.

It seems that Borussia Dortmund will not be selling Haaland this season, last week Chelsea's official offer of 130 million euros was rejected and the club believes that he deserves 150 million and still needs it even if he had to sell it next summer for 75 million euros.
Dortmund will lose a lot of money next season, not selling Halland this season means more betting on what he will offer next season and perhaps a decline in the player's financial shares.
Ivery much understand the position of Dortmund management by rejecting the offers made, everyone knows the difference between watching and not watching Dortmund in The Champions League with Halland and his goals.
They can make up for money through big sales since his arrival, tickets and sponsorship and even high viewership, especially from Scandinavian lands.
Today or tomorrow Halland will leave, Dortmund does not stop producing and in my opinion will remain a nourishing club for influential clubs financial. But it will remain that team that does not stop at one player, regardless of his weight.
They abandoned the Japanese Kagawa after winning the league, and abandoned Gotze and Lewandowski when they reached the Champions League final. Dortmund has a new coach with a new way of playing and clear ideas. All of this can theoretically win the league title or even compete for it for the last rounds.

[coinlocket$]

According to Di Marzio Lukako chosen to leave Inter for Chelsea and now we know why Conte Left.

As told you months ago Inter needs to find 200m before December or they need to sell the asset.

The transfer was inevitable if you ask me, It's been coming all along, and Aston Villa would have been the losing side if they had rejected such an enormous bid. Now they're can go ahead to make 2-4 decent signings that if it all goes well would make more impact in the club than Jack Grealish would single handedly have done.

Lukaku to Chelsea could really be the next big signing in the EPL too.

I second that, and I have said it before, there was no chance that Aston Villa would have rejected the money City put on the table, I know Grealish is the best player in their team, but for a team of their level, they were pretty sure they couldn't hold Jack for too long again, having said that, it's a very decent sum, and if the Villa board can use that money to very good use, then they can replace Grealish very comfortably and do well this season. As for City, I don't know if spending that much to get Grealish was really worth it, but it is what it is, and since they have money to spend, they can get the best players, if City manage to complete Kane's signing as well, then they'll be absolutely unstoppable and I'm pretty sure they'll be EPL champions again and they could prolly win the CL as well.

According to Marca, Liverpool and some unnamed clubs are trying to sign Bournemouth's young left winger Arnaut Danjuma who is 24 years old now. And it is said that Villarreal have already made an offer around £21.5m. In the last season, he got 17 goals and 8 assists in 37 games. This is really good statistics for a young winger. And I know him from Football Manager game too. He was developing really fast and being very productive.

In the end, Chelsea are working to convince Inter Milan to sell Romelu Lukaku and a deal could be closed this weekend. The Blues want Lukaku back (he landed at the Blues in 2011 from Anderlecht) and tried to convince the Nerazzurri with a €105 million offer plus Marcos Alonso.
Sky Sport reports that Inter expect to receive a new offer in the coming days, with the Londoners preparing a new bid worth 120-130 million euros for the 28-year-old.
Final word to make the deal is that of the player: will he accept?

I honestly do not remember his early Chelsea days to be fair, I am sure it was a great period for him and he was good but dude basically just went to loan constantly during that period and then went to United in the end. I remember his United period, he was a good player, he wasn't as great as he is right now but he was a great player for sure, then we all saw his Inter period as well and he is a great player that became one of the most wanted players in the world now.

However even with everything like that I have to say Haaland at 150-170 million is a lot better than 100+player for Lukaku. Lukaku is 28 years old and that's why I honestly think that Chelsea should have paid Dortmund whatever they want and get Haaland. The age difference is 6, and that 6 years difference makes a huge difference between the price as well and that is why Haaland is a better option.

Lukaku long story will come to an end finally? Inter and him denied leaving the club several times but at the end such amount of money will attract everyone. Now I believe Inter will be in trouble finding suitable substitutes.. Of course no need to mention how much spending will be add in EPL with the signing of Lukaku and Grelish

Rumors here in Italy at the moment are about Lukaku already sold when/if the new offer from Chelsea will come.
About substitutes, the name in the air are Vlahovic from Fiorentina or Zapata from Atalanta.

The target price for both of them is over 50m.

[jakdanyel]

Some news sources say that Jack Grealish's imminent arrival at Manchester City could cause Bernardo Silva to leave the team. I've heard that Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are very interested in signing him. As we know, Bernardo Silva is a really talented midfielder and winger. He is still young also (26). Both of these two teams would do really good with a decent player like him.

Funny how Chelsea had Lukaku, sold Lukaku and then wants to buy him back again.  I don’t think I’ve seen something like this happen before.

I think it is not so different with Man United buy again Paul Pogba from Juventus. Do you remember it?
This situation won't happen to Chelsea or Man United if they only loan those players to another club. Actually, both Chelsea and Man United already know the great skills of Lukaku or Pogba, but they are not patient to see the improvement of those players. They only focus on the senior players at that moment, while the players like Lukaku and Pogba are still junior players with have less chance to play. Then, they sold them because still have no big contribution to the clubs. Unfortunately, after got many chances to play in the other clubs, they can grow well and be big players. Chelsea just realizes Lukaku is one of the strongest strikers when Lukaku played in Inter Milan. If Chelsea can buy again Lukaku, it will be 100% the same as what Man United ever did before on Pogba.
