⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[LittleBitFunny]

La Liga should also consider how many followers they will lose. It'll be hard to accept this conclusion for all Barca and Messi fans, it'll take life long time to accept this. However, things happened that allowed Barcelona and ElClasico management to execute all their plans. But they had a chance if they accepted the financing proposal from La Liga and not taken part in the Super Cup. Which might be helpful.

We all have to accept that there is no competition or rivalry in La Liga as before. The excitement between the matches is decreasing day by day. El Clasico has not been as vibrant since Ronaldo left Real Madrid. If Messi leaves, I will lose interest in watching La Liga matches. The EPL is much more exciting than La Liga's.

Messi has left FC Barcelona already and now as a free agent, we will likely see him in PSG with Neymar very soon, but let us see how it goes. I am a big fan of Messi, we know where FC Barcelona was when there was no Messi, hope they will not be back to square 1. I too like watching EPL than any other league, but let us see the move that will happen as the next season is starting already.

It's a nice thing he left Barcelona fc he is highly skilled Supporting striker / Attacking Midfielder / Striker getting along with his new teammates will not be much of a problem since he is also a brilliant team player who in most of his matches assist is his preferred option just to get everyone along. I can't wait to see him in PSG playing alongside Neymar

It's been rumoured that Manchester City or PSG will sign Lionel Messi soon. But I've seen this news today:

https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/58114039

Guardiola says that Messi is not in their thoughts now. He thought that Messi would stay at Barcelona. They signed Jack Grealish and gave the number 10 to him. So, it looks like we may not see Messi at City. PSG seem to be closer to sign him very soon. As they have Neymar and Mbappe also, they will be the deadliest trio surely.

Guardiola signed Jack Grealish a few days ago. Now they don't seem to be thinking of taking Messi to the team. Manchester City will have to spend a lot of money to get Messi in the team, Manchester City may not spend that much extra money at the moment. Messi's next destination is most likely to be PSG. Because there is no shortage of money of PSG. But as far as it seems, Messi will decide to stay in Barcelona at the last moment.

Staying at Barcelona? There is no way for it. Haven't you seen that Barcelona are not able to sign Messi because of having a bad financial condition. And the offer they were preparing to make was against La Liga's structures. So this means there is no way that Barcelona can sign Messi now.

So, we should focus on which team he will go to. City or PSG?

That's right, Messi is definitely leaving Barcelona and nothing can change that anymore 
 Barcelona is in huge financial trouble and can't keep Messi because otherwise they would have violated the financial "fair play ' rule  of the Spanish league.
Many years of bad club politics have come to fruition and now the club is in serious trouble,  without Messi and with a lot of key injured players at the start of the new football season.

the centre back Cristian Romero joins tottenham spurs from atalanta bergamo

According to information acquired by Sky Sports, the fee is set between €50 million and €55 million. Fabrizio Romano reported that the fee will be €55 million. Enough for Romero to become the tenth centre-back to cost €50 million or more. Last season, he was named Serie A’s best defender by the league.

The rivalry between the two greatly influences the atmosphere of the two clubs' rivalry in the league, maybe it will continue if Messi moves to Serie A, but so far only PSG and Man City are mentioned as Messi's next club, and many predict Messi will go to PSG. I don't really follow Laliga because of the difference in time zones so it's difficult to watch matches in that league, and the EPL is my favourite.

By now, everything is done and everything is defined. Lionel Messi at Psg is now a matter of a few days. At least according to the words of Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, brother of the Emir of Qatar owner of the Parisian club who wrote unequivocally on social media a post: "The negotiations are over, then will come the announcement".
Just like CR7 in 2018, for Messi there'll be a two-year deal with an option for a third, with a salary of around 30 million per season. Shortly we wait for the official steps and maybe even the announcement.

Lionel Messi looks close with PSG but why he not tries play on primer league have more competitive than ligue 1, I think Ligue 1 is farmer league where only PSG domination and have much money than other club like Lille or AS Monaco have less budget to get bigger player, not fair if Lionel Messi claimed he was best player in the world if not brave playing with competitive league.

Messi made a big mistake by joining PSG. He could have agreed to play for free for at least one year or less for 10 lamas, and then he would have become a hero of Barcelona. And so he chose money and put his interests above the club that gave him a lot.

According to ESPN, PSG are ready to make a new offer for Lionel Messi. And as we all know, Mbappe has been wishing to leave the team as soon as possible to join Real Madrid. Now, if Messi joins PSG officially, maybe Mbappe would like to think of not leaving again. Because I assume that he would like to play alongside Messi and Neymar both rather than playing at Real Madrid.

The Messi news caught me by surprise.  I def didn’t see that one coming.  And I think no other club anticipated this cos if they were, they’d be all over it to try and get him for free, esp City.

In other news Aguero wants out of Barca.  Lololol.

Now, if Messi joins PSG officially, maybe Mbappe would like to think of not leaving again. Because I assume that he would like to play alongside Messi and Neymar both rather than playing at Real Madrid.

As Cygan mentioned above, Messi's deal is almost done for 3 years with an optional third year. For now, I see La Liga less attractive and less competitive than EPL. Ligue 1 isn't better for sure but talking about a possible CL title for PSG this season should convince Mbappe to stay there this season imo.
Just about number 10, it appears that Messi is fine with having his old 19 in his shirt.

Paris Saint-Germain is the only club that can afford Messi salary this summer and It is expected that Paris Saint-Germain will announce the signing of Messi within the next few days. The offer will be a 3years contract so with them currently the only team capable of doing that it means according to the Italian newspaper "Toto Sport",
Ronaldo's staying at Juventus is almost certain, after Argentine Lionel Messi approached Paris Saint-Germain.
After the controversy that arose over Ronaldo's future between his departure and his move to Paris Saint-Germain, or the completion of his contract with Juventus until the summer of 2022.

I think Manchester City can afford Messi salary but we don't know why Messi prefer choose PSG than Manchester City and meet again with Pep Guardiola. Maybe PSG give more offer with two years contract for Messi and extended one year later, how ever with good offer giving by PSG make Messi will play on ligue 1 and looks get more popularity with label farmer league, I want to see Sergio Ramos, Donnaruma and Lionel Messi for PSG.

Source from him always true and accurate about player transfer because Fabrizio Romano was an Italian journalist, almost his tweet always true and 100% is happening, when Manchester United success got Jordan Sacho and Lionel Messi left Barcelona. Just waiting with Chelsea official announcement about Lukaku and waiting with how much value transfer for this player.

messi must be fuming at laporta who talk nicely in front of media but act evil behind the scene, no wonder. messi being abused there, not only becausr of the barcelona financial crisis for sure.
i wont be surprised if they would sign a middle class player to replace messi position lol, typical barcrlona thesedays.

https://as.com/futbol/2021/08/06/internacional/1628246887_264412.html

According to AS, Roman Abramovich has requested an urgent meeting with Lionel Messi's representatives to talk about a possible move for Messi to Chelsea. I have never thought about the possibility that he would go to Chelsea actually. Because for now, Manchester City and PSG seem as more likely clubs.

thats what i mean! a hijacking mossion started!
let everyone talk about messi at psg now, he might sign a contract with Chelsea at paris :p such a wonderdul savage from abramovich if this scenario happened.

LOL  .

There will be lot of players who will be frustrated with how things turn around at last point. Most of the players salaries were reduced to 40-50% in order for the new contract about to be signed but it all went to vain. Barca should have sold some players like Griezmann or Coutinho or Dembele or others who are on high salaries. I wonder what were the Spanish Liga regulations due to which they weren't able to extend the contract.

This source says that Chelsea are insisting on a player + cash deal for Romelu Lukaku. But Inter want a cash only deal. Chelsea have actually enough money to meet Inter's demands but they don't want to spend that much I think. Maybe it's because they want to sign some other players in this transfer window also.
