⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Jackl87]

You may also wonder how serious Messi's grief is that he has to leave the club. Last year he had already made the decision to leave the club, and at the last minute it fell through. If you really love your club so much, why would he want to leave last year? I think it's a stage. with Crocodil tears.
Next day he was cheering in paris

I also think kinda the same. I believe messi that he is really sad that he could not prolong his contract at barcelona. As far as i know he does not speak french and not even english so i really believe him that he wanted to stay in Spain just for personal and comfort reasons and of course also why he really likes Fc barcelona.
If he really wanted to stay at barca at all costs then i am 100% sure that there would have been a way for him to stay there. Barca had to cust salary costs down drastically to meet the new regulations. So if Messi had been willing to give up a large part of his salary, then surely he could have stayed. I'm not saying that he would have had to do that, or that I would have done that, but there would certainly have been a possibility to stay.

According to Goal, Chelsea have accepted a 34 million pound offer from Roma for their striker Tammy Abraham. And it includes a buy-back clause also.

If Abraham develops a lot there and becomes a top striker, maybe we can watch him at Chelsea later again like Lukaku now.

I've heard a rumour quite opposite to this that Tammy Abraham is now resisting move to Italy and thus AS Roma are now targetting Alexandre Lacazette. Either way with the signing of Lukaku I am sure Abraham's chances to start in Chelsea line up would be very very slim. It would be good to move to some other club while he has the chance.

This word of yours has no meaning. Messi agreed to reduce his salary by 50%. No player will agree to reduce it more. We must remember that he is a professional player. Why would he play without money? Moreover, the entire fault lies with the Barcelona management. They knew the rules. Even then they have picked Aguero and Depay in the squad this season. They could have sold Dembele. They did not. I think the whole incident is arranged by Joan Laporta.

@Avirunes Abraham doesn’t want to leave the premier league, but Mourinho is trying his best to bring him over but so far it’s not working. Also don’t you’ll think that 34 million is a lot for him, instead Lacazette seems to be a better buy, but only time will tell who Roma gets.

Sold 34 million, and buy back with higher price?, sounds funny strategy from Chelsea if this happens again. I know maybe Abraham can get a place to be on starting XI, but if Chelsea believe in this player, I think it will be better if they are give a time to play even just a subtitutions or just let him go on loan status, maybe it will save their money than buyback with higher price if he success in other clubs.

Messi's gone now, will El classico be popular the same way ?
Will La liga still be interesting as of old, exception for the rise of a great talent?
Eden Hazard not even at he's Best, Gareth Bale as well far gone the he's best...... We'll miss great reports emmanating from that League.
What talent have you envisaged rising ? ?

El Classico will not be as popular as before. Even La Liga's popularity will continue to decline day by day. Messi has left not just for this. Real Madrid and Barcelona, the two main teams in La Liga, do not have big stars. The two teams have now become teams of average level. Griezmann is Barcelona's best and star player and Benzema is Real Madrid's star player.

Yup.  El Clasico is overrated most of the time anyway.  Those years with Pep, Messi at Barca and Mourinho, Ronaldo at Real Madrid was the nuts.  It went downhill after that for non La Liga fans but who are fans of other leagues like me.

Edit:  The most most signing of the year could be Varane.  Him played side by side with Maguire...  Omg.  City will need Kane!

[gabbie2010]

Pretty crazy to see Messi leave Barcelona.  I have quite a few buddies who are Barcelona fans, and they of course are none to pleased with what transpired with that whole thing.  I am also just referring to people whom are in the United States, I can't imagine being a lifelong Barcelona fan who lives in Spain..this must be absolutely heartbreaking.  I'm curious to ask for you Euros who follow the sport very closely, where do you guys put Messi in term of the all time greats?

Disappointed when Messi left Barcelona and play for PSG because I am Real Madrid fans need haters for my club and always debate both Barcelona or Real Madrid get bad result, but now the popularity or Barcelona fans have move and change their club to be PSG fans and not any interested yet to debate.

Messi has been creating problems for Barcelona so I am pretty sure the manager is happy with this decision. Getting rid of him was good for the team. If Messi will be happy in PSG, it is a win/win situation for the both parties.

Barcelona has to create or buy new stars, Messi is getting old anyway. How many years he left you think?

This is interesting too.
Mbappe tells PSG he wants to leave for Real Madrid after Messi joins club

Mbappe thinks the arrival of Messi might not make him to shine and cast out his star, being a potential ballon'dor candidate, in the last two seasons his performances outweigh that of Neymar Jr, the spotlight and attention will be more on Messi, I respect his decision to leave PSG to join Real Madrid unfortunately he still have a year in his contract, so it is either PSG sell him now or he leaves on a free transfer next season and he had not sign a contract extension with PSG, although I will like to watch the trio of Mbappe, Neymar and Messi playing together as it is now that might not be realistic.

Chelsea had included a buyback clause because they believe in the potential of the young lad.They don't want to make any mistake loosing him finally.Tammy Abraham proved his worth while Lampard was in charge of the team,so unfortunate for him that this new coach does not believe in him.But I believe he will be a success at AS Roma.

Yeah it is a bit but I really think Abraham should go down in between 20-25m given the form he was in last to last season. It was the new signings that made it hard for him to keep his name in the first team squad but otherwise he is a good and young talented striker.

Also Chelsea including buyback is smart too. I think he would become a good striker just needs a team that gives fair enough chances to prove himself and right now obviously Chelsea is not that team.

I've heard that Tottenham and Aston Villa both are trying to sign Southampton's 26-year-old midfielder James Ward-Prowse. He is valued €30m now. But I don't know how much he would cost to one of these teams if this transfer happens. He is a valuable player for Southampton now. He had 8 goals and 8 assists in the league the last season. I wonder if any of these teams will succeed in signing him.

[DIA7]

Arsenal's hopes were dealt a major blow in the summer transfer window, when he failed to secure the signing of one of his goals, according to English press reports. Arsenal was aiming to sign a new goalkeeper, in anticipation of the possibility of German Bernd Leno in the future, but his desire hit a difficult barrier.

The Sun newspaper reported that Arsenal had halted its bid to sign England international goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale, due to Sheffield United's exaggerated financial demands. And the newspaper added, that a meeting took place between the two clubs on Wednesday evening, during which no agreement was reached, with Sheffield United insisting on 35 million pounds in return for completing the deal.

Mbappe thinks the arrival of Messi might not make him to shine and cast out his star, being a potential ballon'dor candidate, in the last two seasons his performances outweigh that of Neymar Jr, the spotlight and attention will be more on Messi, I respect his decision to leave PSG to join Real Madrid unfortunately he still have a year in his contract, so it is either PSG sell him now or he leaves on a free transfer next season and he had not sign a contract extension with PSG, although I will like to watch the trio of Mbappe, Neymar and Messi playing together as it is now that might not be realistic.

I also would love to see them playing together , and what they are doing and playing when Mbappe, Neymar and Messi have good days.
Have seen also some reports from sky that Mbappe is not happy about that Messi is now in PSG.
There are also rumors if Mbappe will leave that they then try to get Ronaldo , but i guess Mbappe will fulfill his contract this season,
As it is possible with this Team now that they can win all.

Ramos has no problem befriending Messi, but it's seem Mbappe is not interested in building a friendly relationship. This is good news for Madrid if Mbappe goes to Real Madrid. Barcelona is not very strong now, Real Madrid may be able to win the title.

In my opinion, before Messi came to PSG, Mbappe had refused a contract extension given by PSG. This means that Mbappe is no longer happy
at PSG, I am confused about the real reason Mbappe doesn't want to extend the contract. Now indeed, I find a lot of news that says Messi's
arrival makes Mbappe unhappy, I don't know if the news is real or fake. But if the news is real, it's Real Madrid's chance to try to convince PSG
to let MBappe go this year.

Ramos offered a house for Messi to stay on it if he doesn't want to stay at the hotel, nice and unexpected move
For Mbappe, he is trying to prove him and shine, be named the "savior" and the hero of the club. I am not criticising him and I am exaggerating a bit of course but he has the right to looked at as Dortmund's fans looks to Haaland. In PSG he is kind of stuck with the level of Ligue 1 gameplay but with Real Madrid, everyone will count on him, maybe more than Benzema and of course we all know how Real Madrid is rated and what's mean being their best player. I still prefer to see him playing with PSG this season.

You're right, if Mbappe goes to Real Madrid, the team will probably become much more dependent on him. But has Mbappe been experienced enough at the moment? That he will be able to take charge of the entire club? Big clubs like Real Madrid definitely need experienced players. Mbappe is a very talented and extraordinary player. But he still lacks experience. We have seen how he has performed for France in the Euros. Benjama has played much better than him.

I understand what you said but I was expecting the Real Madrid fans to be happy about the exit of Messi since he posed the major threat to Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, etc and I am a lot of Real Madrid fans won't support what you said about not being happy of Messi leaving Barcelona.
The best thing Barcelona can do now is to find a player that will perform well in the postion left by Messi.

Well regarding Haaland I think he is an exceptional player, but come on Mbape, Messi, Neymar Jr these players are only in 1 team and playing together is something else! I am also anxious to see the first game that I will support Messi, since I did not support him in Barcelona, because I love Real Madrid, but now that he is at PSG everything changes, and having those players there is another level, the The only thing missing is CR7 who would like to see him play with Messi's teammate one day.

However, things are going well for Messi, because PSG will give him a few tokens, this is very good, he is not only accompanied by a large number of fans who were for Barcelona just for Messi, the money is also giving him another incentive to Messi.
