⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[jakdanyel]

Some sources claim that Roma are really close to signing 23-year-old Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham. As Inter are interested in signing Dzeko, Roma are searching for a good striker. And it seems like the best candidate is Abraham now. Abraham is a promising striker and he would be useful for the team for a long time.

PSG are so lucky, with a lot of money but they managed to bring in important players for free in the transfer market this season. Now they have a squad that should be very convincing to finish as UCL champions and league 1. Of course having Messi will makes formation of PSG players more stronger to make this happen, also with the goalkeeper position that managed to players who make Italy achieve a perfect victory at EURO, Donnarumma. I think now people will make PSG the favorite.

Werner and Lukaku competing for the same position or will they play together? Chelsea have many great players and I can see Lukaku if a deal is reached will replace Werner. Werner is caught offside to many times to be their main man but he has potential he just is not reaching it at Chelsea.

They will rotate at some point depending on what the coach wants but Werner play most of the game as a winger last season, he is more dangerous on the wing, his pace and movement off the ball help the team a lot last season, Lukaku is a natural-born CF player while Wener is more of ST player, two different players, two different roles.

My favorite tandem are Werner. Lukaku. Ziyech as trio for Chelsea but look less possibility because Thomas Tuchel dislike like Hakim Ziyech and he will prefer choose Kai Harvard. But any possibility for Ziyech if keep stay with good performance and created many assits for Lukaku I think that trio keep become periority for Chelsea in this season.

Messi is almost in and it is funny to see him playing with Ramos indeed

It is definitely and right now lot of supporters are waiting outside Paris airport. Reports are that there he will arrive in 30-40 minutes but yeah things are now all confirmed. Just matter of official confirmations and that's it. But wow, never thought out of all Messi would be playing alongside Ramos lol. Right now I am waiting for pic or video of Ramos and Messi shaking hands more than Messi arriving at Paris. 

Tick Tock time is passing. There is no way to wait any longer for this huge meeting. This is gonna be so beautiful, from rivals to team mates. Ramos is going to shake hands with Messi. Is this meeting going to be more attractive than signing the contract? Let's wait and see how everything turns out.

I think that the formation that is carried out by Thomas Tuchel is the same as last season with a 3-4-3 formation and I am very sure that Thomas Tuchel will prefer Timo Werner, Romelu Lukaku, Mason Mount in the attack line of the London squad, because we know that Tuchel often play their three strikers like last season. and if judge ziyech is still staying for Chelsea next season I'm very sure he will remain a second tier player if he intends to stay at the west London club

I'm not sure what to make of these transfers from PSG. It's quite clear that Ramos and Messi are absolute world class players who have dominated football for the last 15 years. But now they are both well over 30 (Ramos 35 and Messi 34) and have passed their peak. This is also the reason why the English clubs, who could afford the salaries because of the high TV revenues, have never really considered signing Ramos and Messi. It seems that PSG is not interested in having the strongest and most homogeneous team possible, but in getting into the media with big, prestigious names, even if these big names only come to earn a lot of money.

[KTChampions]

If I'm not mistaken, 5 years ago, the compensation for Messi was in the region of $ 200 million, plus the obligation to pay a larger salary. Now they got it for free as the contract between Messi and Barcelona has expired. It's a bargain even if Messi doesn't play well - in essence they are buying a name for their club, which is struggling to become legendary.

Messi's PSG shirt anyone?
Assuming PSG will convince Messi to sign the deal in the next hours, then they are not only lucky to get him for free but also will get incomes from other sources.
I am pretty sure Messi will not take a long time to adapt to Ligue 1 but he has to cooperate with his teammate at a high level to win CL this season. There is no excuse for them.

  It might sound offensive, but I see the French league as "light training" if you play for a top club (which is what PSG is). Accordingly, it is difficult to talk about adaptation and any problems in such conditions. As for the Champions League, PSG doesn't really need Messi to win it (in fact, he's an average player now, but not a star) just a little bit of luck.

Finally, the whole drama has eventually come to an anticipated end... I wish Messi all the very best in his newest adventure. It's really going to be weird seeing him play alongside Sergio Ramos but, I guess the long lasting enmity between the duo is nothing personal and just limited to the pitch ?

It will be very interesting to see how this plays with PSG's financial situation, especially with the fact that they're planning to renew mbappe's contract, I'm curious to see how they'll be able to keep all three players and remain with the FFP rules.

You Right bro, the arrival of messi will certainly make PSG's front line quite dangerous next season, and it is reported that messi will wear number 30 at PSG later, although PSG have not officially announced messi as a new player but reportedly Lionel Messi will be introduced as a PSG player on Wednesday, August 11, 2021 at the Stade Parc des Prince, Do you think with the arrival of Messi, PSG will release Mbappe to Madrid?

[acquafredda]

You should all remember how Messi got treated last year by his former team. I am very happy he left, it is good for him to close his career away from Spain. He still has, maybe, 2-5 years of great performances.
Now PSG boasts the best forwards in the world: Messi, Neymar, Mbappé. But I bet one between Icardi or Mbappé will leave the team.

[LUCKMCFLY]

The Lukaku to Chelsea is a done deal he will travel to London tomorrow for an official announcement and unveiling as new Chelsea striker, the Messi to Chelsea deal was never going to happen that's just fact. Neymar is the reason Messi is going to PSG

But there were reports that Abramowitch is at least in talks with Messi and his father. I agree that the chance is possibly close to zero, but would you say there is absolutely no chance he might go to Chelsea? It would be a surprise, but at the same time it would be a nice surprise in my eyes.

Those were media speculations there was no direct contact with his agent or his father, free agents come with a huge price and salary, Messi is a dream player for every team but then his salaries was something only PSG could afford without going bankrupt and for the latest update, Messi will fly to Paris to undergo medical as a PSG player tomorrow and will wear the No. 19 Jersey. Chelsea priority now is Kounde from Sevilla.

I am quite sure that all the big bosses knocked on Messi's door, including Abramowtich. Whether that ended up in serious talks or not is another story, but I can definitely imagine that Abramowitch considered signing Messi. Tuchel probably wouldn't be against it!

Rumors will persist until a real agreement is reached. However, everything can change in an instant. Negotiations are underway between PSG, Messi's father Jorge, and Messi's lawyers. Although no full agreement has been reached yet, optimism still prevails. It appears on some social media pages that he has already signed with PSG.

I think it's great that Messi can go to PSG, PSG is the springboard team for many players, in fact I already want to see Messi's name on the Eiffel Tower, I also think that the one who will be most happy will be Neymar Jr, although I really I would like to see Messi in the same team as Cristiano Ronaldo and that in the Champions League they can score a lot of goals against both Barcelona and Real Madrid, what I don't like about these two great clubs is that they throw their best players almost down the line. back door, these types of players need to go out the front door, in football when a player is over 30 years of age these types of clubs start to put them aside, as happened to Sergio Ramos, otherwise with teams like Dortmund, PSG, among others.

[Swordsoffreedom]

Messi is now in Paris, ending all speculation. Messi is signing a two-year contract with this French club. His salary is 35m euros per year. We've seen the Barcelona president's drama in the last few days. They were not interested in keeping Messi in the team. So they didn't sell Griezmann, and added two new strikers, Aguero and Depay. If they wanted to keep Messi in the team, Barca management would have increased the strength of the defense without increasing the strength of their forwards.

And kinda weird seeing him being coached by Poch too.  Lol.  Poch used to be the manager of Espanyol, Barca’s rival at Barcelona, Catalonia...  If only City had anticipated that there would be problems with Messi and Barca’s salary cap, they would’ve gotten him for free.  It would’ve been nice to see him play in the EPL and under Pep...

PSG got another legend in their squad. Looking forward to seeing what the trio of Neymar Mbappe and Messi will look like. PSG will undoubtedly win the Ligue 1 title. However, their main target is to win the Champions League title. Messi wants another Champions League title. Hopefully PSG will be able to bring home the title with the help of this squad.

i just cant understand how the fuck that financial fair play shit works lol.
this psg squad are monster.. while other clubs struggling to manage the messed up financial situation, this oil club splashing 35m a year as salary for a single player,  what a transfer... what a confusing UEFA.

Donnarumma, Sergio Ramos, Messi are really good transfers. They've added all three players to their roster for free, and all three are the best players in their field in the world. Paris SG was the team that made the best moves in transfer this year. My guess is he can win both Ligue 1 and UCL this year.

[snipie]

In French "ici c'est Paris" = "Here is Paris" which means I am in PSG boyz!
Now waiting to see the pic of Ramos and Messi shaking hands!

It might sound offensive, but I see the French league as "light training" if you play for a top club (which is what PSG is). Accordingly, it is difficult to talk about adaptation and any problems in such conditions. As for the Champions League, PSG doesn't really need Messi to win it (in fact, he's an average player now, but not a star) just a little bit of luck.

Yeah Ligue 1 is considered light comparing to EPL and La Liga for sure, that's why I said he won't have hard time to adapt

From the UAE, since Qatar assumed the presidency of the PSG, this team has never had to worry about financial issues.

Since 2011, PSG has gone from being a team with few titles to being among the greatest champions in Europe.
However... if they operate profitably or if it's just for the sport, then I can't tell you... it's hard to say if PSG can recover in titles and sponsorship the exorbitant amounts that's pays for its players.

Indeed, it is a big ambition for PSG to win the Champions League title so that talented players are also brought in from various big clubs, so it is a pity if the Champions League fails this season because I see players are already so full of talent and strong in defense, middle and front.

With Lionel Messi's new contract, of course this will bring more enthusiasm for PSG and their fans because they can't wait to see how their match will start with this star player, I think Messi will be the top scorer again.
