⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[CryptoBuds]

If City fail on signing Harry Kane, it seems like they can try to sign Lewandowski. But I don't think that he would like to leave Bayern Munich now.

As long as the transfer window isn't over yet, the chance for Lewandowski to leave Bayern is possible. How the chance of Lewandowski to leave? Depends on the offers made by Man City. But it only happens when Man City has no longer the opportunity to sign Kane. If they are still possible to sign Kane, I am sure City will focus on Kane only. Well, Lewandowski is one of the best CF nowadays, but he is not a young player anymore. He is 32 years old, while Kane is 28 years old, of course Kane is a better option if we consider the ages.

Lewandowski is hardly ready to leave Bayern right now in this transfer window. I don't think Bayern is ready for this either. According to the constantly circulating rumors, Lewandowski is ready to leave Bayern in the next few years, but the club is not ready to let the player go for less than 117 million euros. Also, it seems that there are no statements in the press from the player himself about the desire to change the team in the very near future, so even if Kane does not move to Manchester City in this transfer window, I do not think that Lewandowski will immediately move to City. Nevertheless, Bayern in its current state can afford not to think about the immediate benefits of the proposed urgent transfer.

In the current reality, Bayern wants too much money for Lewandowski. He is a strong striker, but he is 32 years old. So 117 million euros is too much even for such a strong player as Lewandowski. If the price is reduced to 50, then there may be buyers. But not I think Bayern will be selling it this season.

Although Lewandowski is 32 years old, his fitness is good. He can perform regularly. And he was less injured. Yet now all the clubs are in financial crisis because 117m is really too much. I think 70/80m is suitable for Lewandowski. He is a talented player.

Lewandowsky is one of the best strikers in the world today, so besides Harry Kane, of course Lewandowsky is a suitable player to replace Sergio Aguero's role in the Manchester City attack line, but just like Harry Kane who is not sold by Tottenham, of course Bayern Munich will not let go Lewandowsky easily this season, moreover Lewandowsky is a player who has an important role for Bayern Munich in attack, in my opinion, if Munich let Lewandowsky out of course it will be to their own disadvantage, because right now the transfer market is only a few days away and it will be very difficult to find substitute for lewandowsky.

Some sources claim that Manchester City aren't going to stand in Aymeric Laporte's way if he gets at least a £60m offer. He has been an important part of the team so far. I've heard that some La Liga teams are interested in signing him this summer. There is still time for the end of the transfer window. Maybe we can see Laporte leaving the club. It can be better for him if he goes to a big La Liga club.

Harry Kane and Lewandowski have very important roles at their respective clubs, so it won't be easy to make the two move. With the transfer
market closing in a few days, it will be increasingly difficult to find a replacement for either Kane or Lewandowski if they move. So my prediction is
that both of them will stay in their respective clubs, Moreover, the price that Bayern want is too expensive for Lewandowski who are 32 years old.
Man City should look for other options, which is easier to get, and after all Man City do need a replacement for Aguero.

The earlier he finds another club the better, Aymeric Laporte was confined to the bench in most of Man City matches last season due to efficient partnership between John Stones and Rúben Dias, with the inclusion of Ake in their defense now this season, I don't he stand any chance of making the first eleven. There are speculations that both Barcelona and Real Madrid are interested in him, good to hear City's giving him the greenlight to move on however a €60m might be too much for his transfer fee, that fee should be reduced to ease his movement to any interested swiftly.

After the medical examinations and the signatures on the contract yesterday, Alessandro Florenzi has been made official as a new Milan player. The former Roma full-back arrives on a €1 million loan with a buy-back right set at €4.5 million. Pioli will have at his disposal a versatile and important player for the team, able to play both as a right side in place of Calabria but also as a higher external midfield or attack, in place of Saelemaekers.

In my opinion, Bayern Munich set a high price for Lewandowsky as a warning to Manchester City if indeed Lewandowsky is not for sale at all, it certainly looks ridiculous if Manchester City bought Lewandowsky for £100 million.
Even though Lewandowsky is the best striker in the world he certainly doesn't deserve such a high price for his age and of course Manchester City will not invest 117 million pounds in a player who may only play a few seasons.
Moreover, Bayern Munich currently does not have other players to replace Lewandowsky's position in the front lines, although Bayern Munich still has Mueller, but we know that Mueller is also old and his performances are not very consistent, while Genabry is relatively young and has no experience as a lone striker.
I think with only 11 days left, it looks like Manchester City will be very difficult to get a striker this season, like it or not, Pep Guardianola should be able to make good use of their current players.

I agree that Bayern are asking a high price for Lewandowski, this is Bayern's way of keeping Lewandowski. Bayern also know that no club will want
to buy the 32-year-old player for 117 million pounds. It looks like Man City must take advantage of the current players, and buy strikers in
the next transfer window. But if we look at Man City the previous season, which often played without strikers, could run successfully, it seems
that Guardiola is not so disappointed if it turns out that Man City failed to get strikers. Guardiola will probably use a false nine instead of strikers,
usually the ones who often become false nines are Kevin De Bruyne or Phil Foden. Or using Ferran Torres can also be tried again as a false nine
when dealing with Norwich.

Despite their (City's) bad luck in Champions League, they are still favourite in winning CL. They have good squad and giving them a striker like Lewandowski will make the team quite complete. No wonder they are setting up a good price tag for Lewandowski.

Also Mueller getting old is right but I don't see his age affecting his performance though? he is doing a great job at Bayern as second striker IMO. As for Gnabry, he is a winger so yeah it would take time if Nagelsmann chose to play him as striker. Problem with Bayern right now stands with density in the attacking line. Players are getting old and plus they also don't have density. I think they are trying to get in some good chunk of money from Lewandowski sale and use it to buy some players in attack.

£60m is a big money, I don't think it would be such a high offer. He is a good player, but clubs may experience financial difficulties. I don't know if Barcelona has such a big budget to spare.
There is still time for the transfer window to close, we will see which team he will go to. It would be good if he didn't stay in a team where he would sit on the bench

[Pulsar77]

I've heard that Tottenham midfielder Tanguy Ndombele has told Tottenham that he is prepared to leave the club as soon as possible. The 24-year-old player had a decent season. He scored 6 goals and made 4 assists in the last season. His market value is €50m now. I wonder whether there will be a club which would be willing to sign him before the end of the transfer window.

[Zilon]

I've heard that Tottenham midfielder Tanguy Ndombele has told Tottenham that he is prepared to leave the club as soon as possible.

Bayern is willing to engage in a swap deal for Tanguy with spurs but the refused to take the deal. If he decides to leave they should allow him go players should be allowed to feature in the club the find satisfaction with all we are interested in is their performance not the club in question.

I think that Lewandowski himself is not interested in such a transition first of all - in Bavaria he has a permanent place in the main squad, the team played allows him to set new records for goals scored and Bayern every year claims to win in all tournaments in which it participates. Why would he change something and move to a completely different championship and start all over again? I don't think he has the same ambition as Ronaldo to do that.

For Mbappe it is only a matter of time, the most important thing is to stay healthy and avoid injury. It's actually good if he is really motivated to collect all these trophies because he fell into a kind of trap - at the beginning of his career he won almost everything he could. I do not rate the remaining trophies as serious.
Bookmakers really evaluate PSG's chances much higher than Real Madrid's chances this season (almost 3 times), but as I said for Real, winning the Champions League is an ordinary event and even having failed in a particular season, they can make big transfers and become a favorite in the next season.

The self-fulfillment trap? In principle, you could call it that because there are many players who have taken most of the trophies, but never managed to take the Champions League trophy or the golden ball, for example Buffon. Now of course he's playing for his own pleasure rather than chasing trophies, but we all remember 2017, when many people thought that the goalkeeper could take the Ballon d'Or. And in fact, he really only had to take the Champions League to do it. Killian could be in the same situation, you're right. All in all, it will be interesting to watch the Champions League this season, and PSG, whether they are up to the task or not

It would be interesting to see this, yes. I understand where you're coming from but then again - the Premier League is a crown competition that every player wants to win, Lewa has like 10 Bundesligas already and doesn't really care about another one. He has a better chance to win another CL with City than with Bayern, he'd play with better players, under a better coach, earning more money.

I think he'd definitely be interested in the switch but I am also fairly confident he won't push for the deal if Bayern doesn't want to sell him.

Transfer news and rumours:

According to Paco Gonzalez, Real Madrid believe they will not be able to sign either Kylian Mbappe or Erling Haaland this summer. The hefty commission that Haaland's agent, Mino Raiola, is deemed to be too much. And with Mbappe, they believe that Paris Saint-Germain would rather lose him for free than sell this summer. So many stories and rumors that it's very hard to figure out what's really going on here. What do you think?
Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri has confirmed that Cristiano Ronaldo does not want to leave the club. At one point, the possibility of Ronaldo going to PSG was mentioned, but it seems that after the arrival of Messi, that possibility is eliminated and other clubs can't afford Ronaldo.
Chelsea are waiting to offload some players before they make moves for Atletico Madrid midfielder Saul Niguez and Sevilla centre-back Jules Kounde, according to Fabrizio Romano. Three players nearing the exit door at Chelsea are Davide Zappacosta, Malang Sarr and Tiemoue Bakayoko, all of whom are likely to depart on loan. Chelsea have done a great job with new players this summer.

Haaland is so crazy, his scoring statistics are out of this world. I remember some people here saying that he first needs to repeat it before he can be deemed world class, but that is not true. The dude is scoring like a machine, neutralized the 60 year old record of German player from the 60s, where the guy scored 42 goals in 44 games. I have no idea where this guy is ending up. Without checking it, but if I am not mistaken he even has a better overall scoring statistic than Mbappe and I would argue the Bundeseliga is stronger than Ligue 1. I am really curious where he is going to end up. It's going to be City against PSG and they will throw a lot of money after him. Taking into account that salaries have risen so spectaculary, he is going home with 30 million net next season.

The Mbappe part is definitely understandable, for PSG it is still a chance to keep him, if they sell him for 100 million or whatever that is going to be basically accepting the fact that he is not going to stay with the team next season. However if they keep him happy this season, win the league, win the cup, win UCL all trio and all, then they could technically make him super happy and keep him.

This is not a guarantee, they may end up winning them all and still lose him, or not win them and still lose him, but it is understandable that they may want to give it a go and see if they can convince him, plus they can pay Mbappe insane amount of money, like seriously 50 million a year, and nobody can beat that if they do it, so I am assuming that could be another go at it as well. So, it is totally understandable for PSG to decline selling him this summer.

AC Milan close to Pellegri signing

AC Milan are on the verge of signing Pietro Pellegri from Monaco, says Calciomercato.

The Serie A side will pay €1 million to get him on loan and will have an option to buy him for around €7m (£6m/$8m).

He will undergo a medical in Milan on Sunday before completing the move.

Blancos to move for World Cup winner

Real Madrid will, according to AS, launch a late raid for Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe before the summer window closes.

The Blancos have long been linked with the World Cup winner and will move for him again 48 hours before the deadline passes if PSG are unable to agree a new contract with a prized asset.

Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri has confirmed that Cristiano Ronaldo does not want to leave the club. At one point, the possibility of Ronaldo going to PSG was mentioned, but it seems that after the arrival of Messi, that possibility is eliminated and other clubs can't afford Ronaldo.

I was hoping that Ronaldo move to PSG as well. lets be real though, everyone wants to watch both Messi and Ronaldo to play in the same team. That would be the one of the most iconic moment in football history.

The Mbappe part is definitely understandable, for PSG it is still a chance to keep him, if they sell him for 100 million or whatever that is going to be basically accepting the fact that he is not going to stay with the team next season. However if they keep him happy this season, win the league, win the cup, win UCL all trio and all, then they could technically make him super happy and keep him.

There is no reason for PSG to keep him if he doesnt want to sign a new contract. Mbappe always wants to be the superstar in the team and with Messi in the team, most of the fans shift their attention to Messi. Aside from this, he had the talent to reach the top and he is still 22 years old. He cant be one of the best player if he stays in PSG

Both Messi and Ronaldo probably play for atleast 2 more years before they decide to retire and the next superstar will be Mbappe so yeah he had to leave the club to be one of the best player

This could be another world breaking transfer record if Real Madrid manage to reach the agreement
