⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

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.

Mbappe has already taken part in all tournaments that can be imagined and he has many achievements and titles (by the way, he is the world champion if you didn't know). He is ready to move to Real Madrid, and tell me, can Mbappe, being in PSG and the weak French championship, really progress and gain some new experience? I'm sure not.

Romelu Lukaku's return to fc chelsea is now perfect - yesterday's supercup winners pay €115 million to inter milan

The second €100 million transfer of the summer is completed. Star striker Romelu Lukaku is leaving Italian champions Inter Milan to join Champions League winners Chelsea. According to media reports, €115 million will be due for the 28-year-old Belgian – only Jack Grealish, who had joined Manchester City for €117.5 million, was even more expensive in the current transfer window.

I also saw a lot of news about this. Mbappe is not happy for Messi to come to PSG. But I do not understand why he is not happy. We all knew Ramos was Messi's enemy. 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.

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.

I believe Mbappe's long-term prospects are superior to Benjama's. However, what exactly is going through the mind of PSG? Do they really want Mbappe to leave their club? Definitely not. Still, it would be great if it happened. I just pray that it happens. PSG is interested in signing Cristiano Ronaldo, but the deal is contingent on the departure of Kylian Mbappe.

Romelu Lukaku's return to fc chelsea is now perfect - yesterday's supercup winners pay €115 million to inter milan

Well, Inter still needs to pay 55€ to Manchester so not so a good deal for Inter.

They sold him and they will probably replace him with Dzeko who is currently 35 years old.

two more transfer speculations, in which this time 2 bundesliga clubs are involved...
Alexander Sørloth is most likely to leave rb leipzig for france and equadorian international Piero Hincapié is close to signing with bayer 04 leverkusen.

A transfer thus far has been difficult as the player wanted to stay in Leipzig. Another problem has been the reluctance of interested clubs to meet RB's transfer demands. That appears to have changed. Olympique Marseille have now emerged as a candidate to sign Sørloth. The Norwegian outlet Nettavisen wrote that the Ligue 1 club is interested in the striker and has already contacted the Sørloth camp.

Hincapié was one of the big winners of Copa América market value update. The 19-year-old Ecuadorian national team player saw his market value grow from €5 million to €8 million. Not surprisingly, the defender has caught the attention of several European clubs and Transfermarkt can now confirm a report by César Luis Merlo that Hincapié is on the verge of joining Die Werkself.

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.

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.

There are no and will be no players like Messi. At best, a few decades. I don't think RM fans are so happy with the player's departure from Barcelona, because mostly over the past few seasons he has been characterised by goals against weak teams (hatafi, betis...). In El classico, Ronaldo and Messi weren't very productive, but it was always interesting to follow the game..

Well, Inter still needs to pay 55€ to Manchester so not so a good deal for Inter.

They sold him and they will probably replace him with Dzeko who is currently 35 years old.

That is absolutely crazy, replacing Lukaku with Dzeko, tbh, I don't see Inter making the top in the Italian Seria A this season, even if they are in any financial crisis of any sort, I think the club still needs to put in a little effort and do more, they can't lose everyone, including their manager and replace them with low quality players, that is not fair to the fans, they would go from being champions to have a terrible season the following campaign, and then, I still expect more good players to leave, they would have to go, so they'll enjoy their football elsewhere.

[FlamingFingers]

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

its not a crocodile tears, you don't know how it feels to have a standing ovation by the people you loved knowing fully well that you will depart from them soon, are you expecting him to cry at Paris?, I think Messi is not ready to leave, but since they can't meet up with his demands he has to move on

Romelu Lukaku is officially a Chelsea player from now on. As far as I know, they signed him for €115m. Chelsea sold him to Everton for €35m seven years ago. Now they have bought him for this amount. They must be not only happy but also sad because of this.    If they didn't sell him for a very little amount, maybe Lukaku would still develop this much and be a top striker like now. Then, the other teams would line up to sign him.

I'd still say it was a great deal because they shouldn't have included a sell-on bonus, if that's what it was when the purchase his services from Man Utd, perhaps they didn't foresee selling for that much later on, and however, I'd think Man Utd would have gotten a share of sale's fee regardless of the amount he's going for.


I have until tomorrow to decide my FPL team, and I want to be very sure if he'll be available for the opening game, I don't wanna mess with my squad this early 🤥

Actually dzeko still has 1 year left on his contract with As roma, but it seems that the age factor and also the lack of consistency of dzeko last season were the reasons for roma selling dzeko to Intermilan, but interestingly Dzeko move to Inter Milan did involve funds of 1.8 million euro, but the money Inter Milan will only pay Roma, if Inter Milan manages to qualify for the Champions League next season, so we can be sure that if Inter Milan fails to qualify for the Champions League, of course Roma not get anything from the transfer agreement .

Tiago Pinto is in London to give the heir of Edin Dzeko to José Mourinho. Roma's Portuguese manager is working on bringing to Rome Tammy Abraham, the Blues' striker and the Special One's first choice.
The two clubs, AS Roma and Chelsea, have an agreement in principle on the basis of a loan of 5 million euros plus a redemption set at 35 million. The agreement with the player is missing (work is underway with the entourage) because he would like to stay in the Premier League, with Arsenal the preferred destination.
Will update this in the next days.

There has been a new meeting but the situation remains stuck. The second day in London of Tiago Pinto was spent with only one mission: trying to convince Tammy Abraham. He is the profile chosen by the Giallorossi to replace Edin Dzeko. According to some sources, the parties are cautiously optimistic, but there is still work to be done to convince the player. The player continues to have also Arsenal's offer on his plate, an important magnet that attracts towards staying in the Premier League.

I seriously think that he doesn't care for the club "right now", of course he spent 20 years there, he came in as a very little boy and now he is a grown adult getting ready to retire in a few years I suppose (max 5 years but I doubt it) so it is normal that he has a huge sentimental feeling towards the club and that is what everyone would have expected from him, however that doesn't change the fact that he doesn't feel it for the club of right now.

The current Barcelona is not the Barcelona Messi fell in love with and poured blood and sweat, this is just the shell of what old Barcelona was. I honestly believe that it all started with Suarez leaving and subsequently Messi never felt home again there. Plus, if he was THAT much in love with his club, then he would take 1$ salary and stayed, they could sell some other players to cover the difference.

Talking about El Clasico, I think this year will be a little different and will not be the same as in previous years.
last season there was actually something less than the elclasico apart from the departure of ronaldo and Pepe from real madrid and the absence of Suarez in the Barca camp and this season I think his enthusiasm will decrease because at barca there is no messi and at RM there is no Ramos.
believe it or not for the previous few seasons elcalsico became exciting because of some of these players

If they didn't sell him for a very little amount, maybe Lukaku would still develop this much and be a top striker like now. Then, the other teams would line up to sign him.

This is not quite right. If Lukaku stay in Chelsea then there is no way to tell how his future will turn into. Back then Lukaku was not getting that much chance in Chelsea so he had to move. He was pretty good in Everton then he was sold to Manchester United then Inter Milan took him. The reason why he is worth 115 milion today is because he moved to Inter Milan

Its pretty similar to case Pogba, United sold Pogba and resigned him with a higher price. There is nothing wrong with that because some club is not really into nurturing potential players though


Im not sure if anyone shared this already but Messi will be getting PSG Fan Token as well as part of his wage

Well in the 3 years of his contract he will be the higher holder of the token .
I don't think the supply is big enough to be able to pay a consistent amount to Messi.

Yeah, I've seen the news. Honestly, I wasn't expecting such thing to happen. I didn't know that Messi was also into cryptocurrencies.    It's a fan token in the end but its price can go to a really high level. When it was clear that Messi was coming, the price increased at a great rate.

And this is a great way to promote cryptocurrencies and their fan token also.

Manchester City are preparing their new bid for Harry Kane around €150m and would also include add-ons if necessary to convince Spurs. ⚪️🚨 #THFC

Tottenham still hope to keep Kane but Man City are not giving up - bid will be ready.

Source Fabrizio Romano https://www.facebook.com/100057525006204/posts/289883796272452/

Its either Kane really wants to leave Spurs or City are in dire need of a striker.

Come on, it would probably have been the same grief if he left last year. He had been in the club for over 20 years. Why would you call that Crocodile tears?

The reasons he wanted to leave last year may have been personal. I am sure you know what the atmosphere was like, but that does not take away the love he had for the club in the past 2 decades.

After losing Lukaku and Hakimi Inter Milan is preparing to get Dutch deal within the next few hours, after reaching a final agreement with PSV Eindhoven to include one of the team's defender Dumfries.
According to the "Sport Italia" and "Sky Sport" network, Inter are on the cusp of officially signing Denzel Dumfries, the right winger for PSV Eindhoven, to join the team starting from the new season.
She indicated that the Dutch full-back will join Inter, in order to compensate for the departure of Moroccan Ashraf Hakimi, who joined Paris Saint-Germain during the current summer transfer period.
They added that Dumfries is expected to arrive in Milan this evening, Thursday, to conduct medical examinations on Friday morning, and then sign contracts.  
Added on that the value of the Dumfries deal would cost the Nerazzurri 12 million euros, in addition to additional bonuses of 2.5 million euros.
