⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[KTChampions]

I think PSG is playing a very risky game here.
They risk Mbappe leaving without compensation next year, for free, and they bet that their "dream team" will finally win the Champions League this season.
However, there are no guarantees in football, anything is possible, including the fact that PSG fails to win the Champions League trophy again and that Mbappe eventually goes to Real for free.
There is also a real possibility that UEFA will punish them for violating financial fair play due to too much money spent on football transfers.
So, they take a lot of risks because of something that is not certain.
Barcelona had Messi and a lot of other quality players, but they still haven't managed to win the Champions League for a very long time.
It is not enough to buy a lot of good and quality players, but you need to create a good and quality team, well-balanced and ready for big games.

In my opinion, PSG's main difficulty is the weakness of the French championship. They simply do not have the opportunity to build a team playing all year with strong opponents. Football players can be professionals and be as motivated as possible, but weak opponents in any case do not allow them to show their maximum capabilities, for example, the English championship is ideal in this regard - almost every match there takes place in a tournament mode and the teams fight until the last minutes.

City needs some money to make another push for Kane but selling Laporte might prove to be a big risk. Their first CB pairing is Dias - Stones, with Ake as the only alternative replacement.

Walker can fill in in case of emergency, so can Fernandinho, but these aren't good enough solutions if something happens to one of their first two centrebacks.

I think they have a lot more depth elsewhere on the pitch and I also feel Laporte is their best CB. If they do sell him, well - potentially good for Liverpool. Somehow I doubt it though.

I don't know what their financial situation is, however I am guessing that if selling Laporte actually provides them with enough money to get Kane? Then in that case I do not care who their defensive players are at this point, they can cover that up with any player, could be walker, could be Fernandinho, could be a youth team player that is trying to showcase his talents at that point.

Giving Laporte and getting Kane is worth the risk we are talking about. Kane is by far one of the best strikers in all of premier league, which is a very big praise and definitely not one that many players can say in history, so if you can get him then we are definitely fine with whoever player leaves, that is good for City, they can get Jesus out of the way to make room for Kane all I care and that comes right after Jesus had one of the best games ever under his belt.

I also think that this is by far not a done deal. Real Madrid isn't what it used to be and neither is Barcelona. He can now play with the best of the best. On paper PSG has a strong team and now it remains to be seen what they are able to make out of it. If you were Mbappe, would you go Real or Barcelona? Maybe Manchester City, yes, I would consider that, but the Primera Division won't by far be not as attractive anymore.

For a young player like Mbappe, performing consistently in a top, competitive league should be his target and the La liga isn't one of the most competitive leagues now that top players like Ronaldo and Messi have exited the league. My guess right now is that, Mbappe might still sign with Madrid but that won't be happening anytime soon. Maybe when his new contract (which he is yet to sign) expires. Until then, I reckon, he would want to stick with PSG and go on to win the champions league now that he's this close.

Even if the Ligue1 is basically already over Lyon got one new player.

It is official Shaqiri will join them.

Man City are still trying to sign Harry Kane, so I can understand why Laporte would be sold. Because to increase the cost of buying Kane,
which is very expensive, but is it risky for Man City to sell Laporte?, i think with the depth of the squad that Man City has. Letting go of Laporte
won't be a big deal, although compared to other defenders, Laporte is among the best. I believe Laporte's role could be temporarily replaced
by Ake or the Stones. Because Man City really needed a striker position after Aguero left, so if losing Laporte could be a way to bring Kane,
I think it's a pretty good decision. Because I believe Kane will make a big contribution to Man City.

Some news sources are insisting on making the news that Tottenham will be targeting Fiorentina's young striker Dusan Vlahovic if Kane leaves the team. There have been still rumours about Kane to join City in this transfer window. And City are likely to make an offer worth a really great deal of money to Kane. But Tottenham chairman is still resisting City not to sell Kane now.

It is really annoying that the new seasons already start while the transfer window is still open. When you watch the game or check the details afterwards, the only thing you see is that Kane didn't play. They should really change that. As a fan of a club or soccer fan in general you want to know who is going to be part of the team.

Yeah but there is nothing to do about it. It looks like we will continue to see Kane news until the end of the transfer window or until City sign him before the end of the transfer window. By the way, Kane played this time against Wolves today. But he played for only 20 minutes. He wasn't chosen into the starting eleven. And I guess Kane wanted so. Because he is still angry at Daniel Levy as he is congesting the ways going to City for him.

David Beckham has held talks with Lionel Messi about his joining Inter Miami when his contract expires with PSG. It hasn't been much time since he was transferred by PSG. I don't think that it is time to talk about these things for Messi now. Actually, I want Messi to end his career at a European team.

Like end his serious career, even when he ends it here he is still good enough to cash in big time once more and be the best in the MLS. One problem I see though with the MLS are the strict salary cap rules. If I recall correctly they are very strict over there. I don't think it is possible to have players asking for 25 million, but I am not 100% sure . I think there were already some problems with other players from Europe. Didn't he once say he once to play one more time for his first club in Argentina?

Its still much better than staying in Ligue 1 for sure so even if he decided to leave PSG at the end of his contract and join Real Madrid as a free agent then Im not that surprised.

Until then, I reckon, he would want to stick with PSG and go on to win the champions league now that he's this close.

I dont think that he had any choice though. He clearly wants to go to another club because he has shown no intention on extending his contract but PSG doesnt show any sign that they will let Real Madrid sign him. I doubt that they will let him go for free, he has a high value and PSG could milk Real Madrid out of their pocket

If I recall correctly they are very strict over there. I don't think it is possible to have players asking for 25 million, but I am not 100% sure.

He probably just wants to live in Miami after he retired, thats one way to put it.

Didn't he once say he once to play one more time for his first club in Argentina?

It doesnt mean he will sign a contract with his first club, he simply can play in some charity match or some sort.

I don't think that it is time to talk about these things for Messi now. Actually, I want Messi to end his career at a European team.

In fact, it seems that Messi was going to end his career in Argentina, and Inter Miami seems to have already been mentioned before in the context of negotiations with Barcelona. In any case, it is unlikely that Messi will finish his career in a European team, unless it is Barcelona, or rather even if it was Barcelona, at least it did not work out for the last time. The piquancy of the situation is added by the fact that the finances of the club from Miami are not all right and the club was fined 2 million targeted funds for 2 seasons plus a fine of $ 5.6 million due to problems with the salary ceiling, and the co-owners of the club because of this began negotiations on the sale of their shares.

If they can't get Kane then they lost Laporte, I won't do that. I don't know why they really want Kane even though a lot of forwards out there with skills the same or even more above, I wonder why the city doesn't care when Messi goes because usually, they are always advanced. Manchester City has a new playmaker either, Jack Grealish, which could more take advantage of the front and Laporte focusing on behind.

I cannot disagree more. Football is a game of balance, you cannot have a great offensive line and have kids from the academy or fringe defensive midfielders playing at centerback positions. Kane is great, yes, but even without him City is strong enough up front. Without Laporte they are risking too much in case if something happens to either Stones or Diaz.

City has a lot of players to sell - especially in the offensive positions. I'm not saying they should just give up on Kane, I'm saying they should try and sell other players instead of Laporte.

the latest talks over Mbappe mouve according to the Spanish network, "Defenza Central", Real Madrid still hoping that Paris will open the door to negotiations on Mbappe's departure before August 31.
The Spanish network indicated that Saint-Germain wants a lot for him for the conditions to agree to Mbappe's departure this summer.
It explained that Paris would request 150 million euros, in addition to two players from Real Madrid, one of whom would be Ferland Mendy or Casemiro.
Devenza Central said that at the present time, Real Madrid would not agree to the departure of Mendy or Casemiro.

[cryptofrka]

PSG can play hardball here, and probably will. They are a club that does not need any more money and as crazy as it sounds, I think they would not sell Mbappe for anything less than 150 mil euros even if they know that next season he can leave for free.

Nobody else can do that, not even City or Chelsea. PSG wants the CL and I think that 150 mil means nothing to them when Mbappe staying increases their chance of winning it.

Shaqiri, who was also sought by Napoli in this market window, eventually settled with the French club.Shaqiri didn't perform bad with Liverpool: he collected 45 appearances topped with 7 goals overall.
He is one of those players that needs to find the right environment to give his best but Lyon could be the right place for him today.

^  I think real Madrid is lining up and getting ready to get him either on January or for free.  Real has not really been active in the transfer market, no huge acquisitions that I’m aware of at least.  And if City can’t close in on the Kane deal and Mbappe does leave on a free transfer next summer then maybe expect a plot twist.  Pep is desperate for an elite striker.

The City hasn't given up on Kane yet, I read just now that they are preparing a "final move" to convince Tottenham to sell him.

I'm predicting that Pep Guardiola's team will make a heavy counter-proposal to City, but still possible to be accepted of City... They know Kane's departure is inevitable they may not have another chance to make a big profit in a deal for this player.

Let's see how many "zeros" this negotiation will be.

Harry Kane wants to leave, Tottenham Hotspur can make a huge profit if they sell him in this transfer window. I don't think they refuse another big offer from Manchester City. It's only a matter of time we see Harry Kane in Manchester City jersey. We know that Manchester City need a great striker and Harry Kane is the best option they can get with a big chunk of money. Tottenham Hotspur should decide fast because if they sell him they have only a little time to find a replacement.

Speculation about Kane's move is still a good topic to talk about, but I don't think Tottenham will let Kane go this transfer season, because it will be very difficult for them to find a replacement for Kane at this time, especially  the transfer window is only a few days away. But as you say, if current Manchester City haven't given up on Kane and it's been reported that Manchester City have upped their bid by £150m to bring Harry Kane to the Etihad Stadium, would that amount of money make Daniel levy change his mind?
Of course all will be answered after the transfer market officially closed.

Tottenham will receive Manchester City's final offer for Harry Kane this week, according to sources. If the deal goes through, Tottenham Hotspur will be able to make a decent amount of money. The question is whether they will sell or keep the England captain. Apparently, Harry Kane is more in love with Manchester City than they are with him. It would be great to sell him and make good profits if his heart is not at Tottenham.

[Avirunes]

Spurs are in talks with Wolves for Adama Traore. I think it would be a great transfer given the attribute Traore possesses- his physique, his pace so it would be a strong man in wing which Spurs need right now. So I can see what Nuno is thinking there by adding another pacy winger in the team. Bergwijn, Lucas Moura, Son all have tremendous pace and adding Adama Traore in there would make their team extremely strong on counters. Now they just need to keep a hold on Kane and that's it- a perfect team.
