⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[AndySt]

Benzema is 33 years old. I don't think Benzema will be in the Real Madrid squad for very long. So I don't think I can see the chemistry of Benzema and Mbappe at Real Madrid. On the other hand, rumors are circulating that both Real Madrid Mbappe and Haaland are interested in fielding young players together. If they take these two players on the team, they will decide to sell Benzema.

I believe that 33 is not really that old, he could play at least another 3-4 seasons and he would be good as well so I doubt he will be gone anytime soon. I believe that as long as they have other places to worry about (like defense) they should not be considering getting a striker just yet. However one thing is for sure, if they can get their hands on Mbappe, that is not something you can just let it be, you have to get him if you can because it is Mbappe, doesn't matter who you have in that spot, if you can get him then you do.
I guess Mbappe will be either in PSG or Madrid and I do not see any other option right now. However what will happen if Newcastle ends up offering like 100 million a year to him is really beyond me and I would love to see that chaos. I know they probably won't, that is just unnecessarily too much, but they CAN and that is the great part .

at some point, they too will have to operate in accordance with the FFP. they will only be able to spend what the club earns, I don't think the Premier League will allow them to be manipulated as PSG does.
So, probably they can sign Mbappe and many top players, offering them abnormally high salaries. to cover this they must have a much stronger infrastructure which will give the club at least some potential to earn that money.

According to The Telegraph, Newcastle can spend 223 million euros in winter without violating the rules of financial fair play, so there may be enough funds for Mbappe, Haaland or Kane. Another question is, apart from one or two super-players, the club now has to think more about building a competitive team as a whole and you can't raise the level of the team on one player now. If only purely for marketing and attracting attention to the project. By the way, Antonio Conte seems to have refused the offer to lead Newcastle and I seem to understand his motives, because Conte dreams of titles, and here you need to start from the bottom of the standings and build a team and there is a chance to build a team for another coach, like Tuchel and Chelsea.

According to this report Link: https://newspremises.com.ng/newcastle-united-plotting-a-transfer-raid-for-four-manchester-united-players-following-305m-saudi-takeover/ Newcastle will try to sign  the quartet of Man Utd players this January, Donny van de Beek, Jesse Lingard, Anthony Martial and Eric Bailly are on the radar as some of the new signings to be embark by the Saudi billionaire owners, ironically those players are  not regular starter in Man Utd thus a big opportunity for them to move where a regular playing is guaranteed, especially Donny van de Beek whose potentials has not been well utilized by Man Utd.

Maybe not all of them, but some for sure. Newcastle will be a saving rope for some of the big clubs that are trying to get rid of players with inflated wages that don't really contribute much to the team.

I'm fairly confident that some of the players like Bale, Cavani, De Gea, Sterling, Werner, Kepa, Lacazette and similar ones with high wages will be offered to Newcastle during the winter, it will be interesting to track how will they handle big money spending.

It's really easy to throw 200 mil into the wind so it will also be really important to who will they give that money to.

That wasn't surprised me, Conte works for champions because that he leave Inter due to a lack of money to buy the player. But what makes me surprised is they do not want Zidane, even though Zidane's achievement is better than Conte's, maybe Zidane wants a big salary or something. the strongest rumor at the moment is Steven Gerrard and Lampard.

[Avirunes]

Donny van de Beek,

According to journals here in Italy he can be also a target for Juventus but is he good?

He never plays, the last good match he did is 2 years ago in the Champions League...

Well actually that depends. He hasn't played for United that much and others players in that position have made things hard for him as they are playing well enough to keep their place in starting. Juventus on other could use his services and also I think Van de Beek will be open to other teams as well as he also wants some chances to play.

I think Juventus should buy him if United lets him leave for a bid that Juventus think is his value as of now.

Steven Gerrard or Frank Lampard leading a multi-million football club in the English Premier League?
Sounds like a joke to me.Lampard was a failure as a Chelsea manager.Gerrard is a manager of Rangers F.C.
but I am mot impressed by their performance in the European tournaments.Of course they are still dominating the Scottish football league,which is pretty easy for them.
I've always liked Newcastle United and I wish that they could achieve something big in the Premier League.
I think that Zidane would never lead English football teams.He might become a coach of some Spanish,French or Italian team.

Conte and Zidane would have been perfect to form the Newcastle team properly. Since the team has to be formed from a single zero, it is definitely very challenging. It is not possible without experience. Although Zidane wants a higher salary, Newcastle should give Zidane the responsibility. Newcastle will not get an experienced and skilled coach than him at the moment. Gerrard and Lampard are not bad. But not as experienced as Zidane or Conte.

Transfer rumours:

Chelsea have held informal talks with Real Madrid over re-signing 30-year-old Belgium playmaker Eden Hazard - but the Spanish club would want England right-back Reece James, 21, in return. A very interesting combination, do you think there is a chance that these will happen? The question is also in what condition Hazard is now?
Liverpool are closely monitoring Ousmane Dembele's situation at Barcelona. The 24-year-old France winger, who has not played since Euro 2020 because of a knee injury, is out of contract at the end of the season. This would be a great deal for Liverpool, if it really happens. What do you think?
Wales midfielder Aaron Ramsey, 30, still believes he can be a success at Juventus with a season-and-a-half remaining on his current contract. It seems to me that the more realistic scenario is that he will leave the club.

Looks like the plan to bring Eden Hazard back to Chelsea is going well, because according to news Roman Abramovich wants Hazard to return to Chelsea.
We know several times Abramovich wants players he likes but Chelsea management will bow down to Abramovich's orders. So I'm very optimistic
that Hazard will return to play for Chelsea. Moreover, Real Madrid is planning to include Hazard in Madrid's sales list. Because Hazard is considered to
have failed to replace Ronaldo at Madrid, even Hazard is injured more often, and Hazard's salary is quite large. So Real Madrid are happy to let Hazard
go back to Chelsea, maybe it's just a discussion of the price agreement.

I have heard that Arsenal are thinking of making a move for Liverpool midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. He played for Arsenal for 6 years. Now, maybe it is time for him to go back there. I think that Oxlade-Chamberlain has never been one of the top midfielders. There were very few times I saw him playing great. He is 28 years old now. And I don't know whether he can improve his game much bigger than now at Arsenal.

He had fell behind some young players favoured by Kloop in Liverpool so the best bet  for him is to leave for Arsenal where his wealth of experience will be needed in moulding  Arsenal youngsters especially in their midfield with a report that Thomas Partey and mohamed Elneny would leave for African Nation cup in January,. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was a good player when he was in Arsenal which also earned him call up in English team then,   I also read a report that Wilshere is currently training with the gunners probably he might be offered a temporary place in the team

According to some news sources, Tottenham are thinking of replacing Harry Kane with Alvaro Morata in case Harry Kane leaves the team next summer. As we know, Morata is playing at Juventus but he is on loan there. He is normally an Atletico Madrid player. If Juventus don't want to transfer him too, then Tottenham will have a big chance of signing him. But I have doubts about him. Because normally, he is not as capable as Kane as a forward. But we don't know how good he can play at Tottenham. He has a Premier League experience before at Chelsea.

The prospects for Morata's return to Atlético are extremely dubious given the fact that Suarez + Greenzmann are playing there. And I do not think that Morata can replace Kane - he is too unstable, he often has a streak of matches when he misses simple chances and the whole team suffers because of this.

In fact, Benzema is no less a Real Madrid legend than Ronaldo now. He may have scored fewer goals, but he played a lot more matches for Real Madrid and almost always played at a consistently high level. I am sure that he will play for at least 3 years here, so he will have time to play 2 full seasons together with Mbappe.

Age is not a problem for a football player. We can learn from many players with old age and young age where the ones who show better performance are those who are older. Benzema is one of the players over the age of 30 who is still on fire. he is a substitute for Totti (AS Roma), Gerrard (Liverpool) and old players but still fit to remain a starter. 2 seasons is still very decent for Benzema, even if he wants to play until the end of his career at Real maybe Benzema will play more than 3 seasons.

If we are talking about midfielders, then yes, often the team can afford to have an elderly playmaker who is still effective due to the vision of the field and the quality of the passes, but in the case of the striker, age affects more. And if the attacker does not have outstanding height and ability to execute set kicks well, he quickly loses his value.

According to Marca, AS Monaco midfielder Aurelien Chuameni could become a Real Madrid footballer. The footballer's contract with the "red and white" is estimated until 2024, and the midfielder is estimated at 35 million euros.

In the current season, Chuameni played 9 matches for AS Monaco and became the author of two goals scored.

The leadership of Monaco is ready to release their ward, but for at least 60 million euros.

Not really, old players will have their own way of staying productive in scoring goals even if they are not very active in attack. We've seen how Inzaghi at an age that was no longer young at that time, he could still be a player who contributed to AC Milan. There's something else beyond just goals that old players can deliver on the pitch. Even though Benzema has lost his goal-scoring instinct, it doesn't mean that Benzema is over. However, there will be things he will give for the team during the game.

The 21 years old young French Midfielder have impressed with France National team that made his value goes up since Monaco spent only 18 million euros on him back in 2019.
Real Madrid want him to be a replacement for Casemiro.
So with many other teams are interested in hin that could drive his price up and Monaco is well known of getting the better part of a deal when it comes to transfer policy.
They say the other teams are looking for him are Juventus and Chelsea.
I'm surprised not to see Man United among them as tgey surely need someone better then Fred on their midfield.

We all know Real Madrid has always been an admirer of young talented promising players. Aurelien Chuameni also seems like a good expectancy. This season he scored 1 goal in 9 matches but 60 million seems like a higher price for him. Something around 40 to 45 million fits him. Let's see if the rumors are true and Real Madrid opts for him or not.

Really? Well good for them and for him. Arsenal are my enemies but only on the pitch. I really liked Alex and hoped he would also play for us one day but I guess a Gunner never becomes a Spurs player.

He improved in Liverpool and will go on to become great, but yes, only if he gets more playing time,,, I guess he never made the quality cut at Liverpool.

chamberlain is a good player and has speed in dribbling the ball, but even so chamberlain decision to leave arsenal in 2017 and then certainly left a deep wound for arsenal fans, as an arsenal fan to be honest I don't want the club to buy chamberlain again and it's better for the club to look for Another midfielder in January, besides that Chamberlain has a history of severe injuries during his time at Arsenal and Liverpool.

What do you mean by has lost his goal-scoring instinct? He is in the best season of his career so far. This season in La Liga he played 8 games and scored 9 goals and assisted 7. But senior players have a command over the game. They have the experience which helps both the team and the younger players on the field. Just look at Busquets. The guy is 33 but still a vital player for both Barcelona and Spain. So senior players are needed on the field, not always for scoring and assisting, but sometimes for leading the squad in general and dictating the play.

He may still be useful for Arsenal and therefore maybe the team has an interest in the player. Liverpool still have a contract with the player until October 2023 and may be sold if another team is interested. Currently Chamberlain's market value has dropped to 18 million euros or has undergone two changes throughout 2021 even though he is still young enough (27 years) to be an active player. By the way, are there any rumors that Arsenal are still interested in bringing this player back from Liverpool?

If this news is true, it will be very good for both parties.
because when he was at Liverpool Chamberlain, I think there were so many rivals and it was not easy to place yourself in the main lineup and if this news is true, of course he will get more flying hours in the arsenal, I think because remembering that Chamberlain was always a starter in the arsenal squad.
on the other hand this will also have a good impact for arsenal, although indeed their current performance is starting to improve but with Chamberlain's arrival there will more or less affect and increase their breaking power.

According to Onefootball rumors Pogba wants a salary of 12m € (+taxes) for an eventual move in this January.

According to other sources Ramsey (salary around 11m € with taxes can leave this January)

In Italy, it will be only 15m € with taxes.

Can Pogba finally come back to Turin?
