⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Shasha80]

This source claims that Sevilla's 22-year-old centre-back Jules Kounde is really angry at Sevilla for not letting him go to join Chelsea in the latest transfer window. Sevilla demanded his release clause fee which must be around £68m. But it is also claimed that his release clause fee is now £77m. Maybe Chelse found it too much and decided to pull out of the deal.

It was unprofessional of the Sevilla director because they had reached an agreement with Chelsea for €55 million a few weeks earlier, and the deal was supposed to be finalised after Zouma's move to Wetham. Following the Zouma transaction, Chelsea returned to Sevilla only to learn that the first offer had been increased to €70 million, which was a significant increase for such a player.

@BlackViruse it’s clear that Sevilla got greedy and they thought since Chelsea spent so much on Lukaku maybe they’ll pay good price for Kounde, however Chelsea didn’t fall for the trap. Furthermore I’m confident that they’ll get him in January or Summer Transfer window for a lower price, because no one will want to keep an unhappy player on their payroll.

Jules Kounde was very upset with Sevilla for blocking his move to Chelsea, even Kounde was not included in Sevilla's squad against Elche.
A number of Spanish media reported that Kounde ignored phone calls from the club and his coach. As it seems, Kounde is quite frustrated
by failing to join Chelsea. With such conditions it is possible in the next transfer window, Sevilla had to let Kunde leave at a price according
to the previous agreement with Chelsea. This is a lesson for Sevilla to be more professional next time.

It is said that Barcelona are still after Leipzig's 23-year-old midfielder Dani Olmo. They failed on signing him in the last transfer window. But they are planning to make an offer to him again. But as long as Barcelona are still in the same financial condition in January, I have some doubts about them to be able to sign him. Dani Olmo is a quite talented player and he would be really useful for Barcelona in my opinion.

It would really be great if he ends up at Barcelona. For people who do not know his life story - he was in Barca academy as a youngster, felt there's too much competition there to get a real chance in first-team surrounding, packed his bags and went to Dinamo and Croatian first division. Not many players would do that, he was brave enough for such a huge risk and it is great to see it is paying off.

The only regret I have with Olmo is that he chose to represent Spain instead of Croatia. We really could have used a player of his quality.

It will be interesting to see if Barca has any money though.

He was really impressive in the Euros, I have to admit I hadn’t seen him play before. Leipzig are essentially a selling club so they probably can’t keep him for long. Barca are broke though so I’m not sure if they could afford him.

I am not a very knowledgeable soccer/football fan but I have started to get more interested in it of late.  Well by late I mean the last couple years.  It was pretty crazy to me to see both Ronaldo and Messi changing teams.  It is weird to me how these players leave and the whole buyout thing.  Do you guys think this is a good thing, being able to buyout players contracts?  This is very different from sports like US football, baseball and basketball.

In the transfers last summer, barcelona had made an offer of around 58 million euros but leipzig rejected the offer and would only let dani olmo go for 65 million euros, but of course barcelona failed to get dani olmo because indeed Barcelona financial condition is currently deteriorating, I think With Olmo interest too in Barcelona uniform, of course, Barcelona will most likely try to recruit Olmo again in the transfer market next season.
Apart from his impressive performances last Euros, Olmo form at Leipzig so far has been fairly consistent and he has played 61 games and managed to contribute 12 goals and 13 assists in all competitions.

Messi has just left Barcelona, this is not the departure that both Messi and Barcelona want. Both reached an agreement to extend the contract. but they were hindered by La-Liga regulations. As for Ronaldo, just left Juventus, this is because he is not in Allegri's squad plans, in some games Ronaldo was not played and the news of Ronaldo's departure was also long ago. In the transfer process in Football, it is a natural thing to happen like this, and of course the contract is the same as giving the player the freedom to leave his club if the contract expires or following the club's request to extend it. there is nothing wrong with this contract process IMO, and it is also good to make it easier for the player to make decisions about his future with the club, as well as with his current club.

Considering Marca's claim, Real Madrid may go for Dortmund striker Haaland and PSG striker Mbappe at the same time next summer. If they really buy both of them somehow, I assume that Mbappe will play as a winger and Haaland as a CF. Or they may prefer a different tactic with two forwards and we can watch this duo. However, I don't see it very likely. I think that Real Madrid will be able to buy only one of them by paying incredible amount of money. Because if they try to sign them both, it might be against La Liga structures.

We have a different competition this time around, both Ronaldo and Messi in different clubs around the world winning titles. Messi has been with Barcelona for several years, a club that has a lot of world-class players from Spain. Messi growing up with the ball here. The situation has changed dramatically. It's time for a new home and a new vision. Leaving isn't easy, but sometimes you must take a stand following the difficulties. I wondered how things turned out.

Kounde liked Chelsea and he wanted to play in the Premier League. But, it seems Sevilla got greedy, and probably wanted to make a huge amount from signing him out. Unfortunately, Chelsea wasn't ready to offer €77 million for the player, and that lead to them pulling out of the deal. But, I guess Chelsea will come back for the defender in January. Because after signing out Kurt Zouma to West Ham, they needs replacement.

I'm not sure the club have the financial capacity to have sanctioned that deal, regardless of how desperate they might, and forcing a deal might only set then back a few transfer windows back from what they're trying to achieve.

I'd rather the club just play out this season with the the already available players and work towards to next season, panic-buying brought the club to this situation, and panic-buying wouldn't bring it out.

I first saw him in the Spanish match in the Euro Cup and I think Olmo is a pretty talented young player, moreover I saw in several Leipzig matches, Olmo has a very important role in building attacks, I think Olmo really deserves to be valued quite expensive because indeed his appearance is quite consistent with leipzig so far.

With Barcelona current financial condition, of course Barcelona must think about buying Olmo at an expensive price, especially now that the debt burden that is burdening Barcelona is quite large, so maybe they will not recruit Olmo in the transfer market next season.

Sevilla shouldn't have taken such action and shattered Kounde's dream of being transferred to Chelsea. I agree that they were too greedy and it caused them to make Kounde sad. From now on, Sevilla management should already know that they won't be able to keep Kounde at the team. Kounde might not even want to train with the team for some time after this incident. I guess that Chelsea will sign him in January and bring him to the team immediately.

New Barcelona president Joan Laporta have announce they have much debt right now left by previous Barcelona president with bad rule with financial from player transfer until how much pay for player salary. After leaving by Josep Maria Bartomeu last Barcelona president club faced with financial crisis and many player have to sell and loan to other club, they can't keep stay for Lionel Messi on Barcelona because they have raise with salary player based on La Liga rule.

Defender Serge Aurier will soon sign a contract with Arsenal, according to a source.

Recall that the player recently left Tottenham. Now the footballer is in the status of a free agent.

He is not a bad player at all, Aurier definitely deserves to be a good contender for what they have right now, not saying that Arsenal could ever decline any player because they suck so much that most players are a major improvement but this one is legit good and not just Arsenal saver good, I would love to see him on my club or any club because he deserves a starting spot at a good level. Dude worths 20+ million pounds right now and getting him for free is a marvel.

I also think that Fenerbahce from turkey is offering him what he wants, so at this point dude is only not signing with them just because he believes some other club could offer better and that team could be Arsenal, which is even at this stage still a better team. I would rather go to Arsenal for a bit less money instead of going to Fenerbahce but if the money difference is too much, I do not know what will happen.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Besiktas has officially received Pjanic on loan until June 2022, currently Miralem Pjanic is on his way to Istanbul to complete his contract  requirements as well as carry out medical tests before being officially introduced by Besiktas, it is reported that Besiktas will pay Pjanic salary of 2.7 million pounds for the 2021-2022 season, and in my opinion this is a good step taken by Barcelona to reduce the burden on their player salaries, besides Pjanic's inconsistent performances and his not young age are certainly a strong reason for Barcelona take him off now.

It's already happened when you wrote this post. He signed contract after medical tests and he is in Champions League squad registration 30 minutes before deadline. He went back to national team camp already. His wage won't be 2.7 million pound, it's 2.75 million Euro for Beşiktaş and Barcelona will pay rest. It's the biggest transfer of the season for Türkiye and one of the biggest in history. Nobody expected this transfer, Barcelona paid 60 million Euro for him and now we got him for free, no loan fee, no big wage, it's unbelievable. People are still in shock and can't believe this happened yesterday, we are waiting for his first game impatiently.

It will be interesting to see if Barca has any money though.

I didn't know that he was in the youth team of Barcelona. Dani Olmo is still a promising midfielder I think. I would really like to see him going back to his old team then. And yeah, he could have chosen Croatia instead of Spain as his national team. But I respect his choice of course.

He was really impressive in the Euros, I have to admit I hadn’t seen him play before. Leipzig are essentially a selling club so they probably can’t keep him for long. Barca are broke though so I’m not sure if they could afford him.

I also think that Leipzig won't be able to keep Olmo at the team in the next transfer window. However, Barcelona are still struggling financially as you indicated also. They even had to loan Griezmann, maybe their best player after Messi left, to Atletico Madrid. I don't think that Barcelona would be able to afford Olmo easily.

They will get Mbappe for free next year and $150m should be enough for Dortmund to let Haaland move to Real Madrid. To avoid fair play and La Liga restrictions, they have to reduce wages by letting some players out like Bale, Hazard...
Well it is possible in theory but I doubt Haaland will move to La Liga.

Yeah, getting Mbappe without a transfer fee can help them sign Erling Haaland much easier. But even if they manage to sign Mbappe and Haaland at the same without violating the La Liga financial rules, I wonder whether Haaland would adapt to the team easily. Like you said, maybe Haaland wouldn't like play in the La Liga and he would prefer to play in the English Premier League. Then, maybe Manchester United would sign him as they are already interested in him.

[coinlocket$]

It is official Mario Mandzukic announced his retirement. One less player on the free player.

This is the list of players without any team who they can join whenever they want outside the transfer market.

In fact, Real Madrid may try to sign Mbappe in the winter. However, this may not happen again, if the information is true that the Emir of Qatar personally blocked the sale of Mbappe this summer for 200 millons, because he wanted to see a bunch of Messi, Mbappe, Neymar in action. And about the departure of Haaland, Bayern CEO Karl Heinz Rummenige and Arsene Wenger have already spoken recently. Rummenige said that Haaland is a key figure in the Bundesliga and will not stay for long, having gone abroad. And Wenger put it more specifically that Haaland will move to the English Premier League, because the league dominates economically. By the way, I think that Haaland will also move to Manchester, but not to United, but to City
