⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Lordhermes]

I think Carrick will be better than Ralf Rangnick maybe in this week's game with Arsenal we will know what strategy he brings but we don't know fully whether Ralf Rangnick will shine with Man United players.

We can't say for sure if he is fit to coach Manchester United until the end of the season as he has only officiated a few games so far. I agree if you say that Carrick should be given a chance, but it looks like Manchester United haven't decided yet. I heard that Manchester United also have an interest in Pochettino (PSG coach), it looks like it will be interesting to hear how this rumor goes.

As it stands now,Manchester United are confused about who to choose to be their coach.Given Carrick a chance wouldn't have been a bad idea,but they are scared he might not have enough experience to coach them,but one thing in football is,once the players believe in you and your ability,they will work for you and give you good results in almost every game.
The players wanted Ole to go,thats why they were losing matches,so if they love Carrick or the new coach,they will do well.
Its the players that I see to be in control of how things will look like here.

So Barcelona might lose out to Arsenal, if Arsenal offer
a higher purchase and also Arsenal can provide a higher salary than Barcelona. We'll see which team Sterling will choose, if Sterling wants to win
many trophies, Sterling will definitely reject Arsenal's offer.

If he wants to play much time, Arsenal is the best option, he is not going too much away from England, I also heard Barcelona want Ferran Torres than Sterling. and as we know Arsenal is a club with not many trophies to get so his career will be stagnant but his name will be aligned with the Arsenal legend such as Tiery Hendry if he can play like him. For now, the decision is on Sterling, if he wants to big salary, Newcastle also wants him.

How true is the news of Ballon d'or been given today ?
I ain't seeing the thread for that.
Who's your pick anyways ?
Lewandoski ?
Messi ?
Jorginho ?
Kante ?

Ballon d'or winner will be announced today, in 5 hours tho?
I am not aware of a topic about it but I suppose there is bets about the winner somewhere and Messi seems to be the most favourite. If he win it this time It will be upsetting since winning with Argentina while struggling in Barca and worse in PSG isn't a good sign for the other players that deserves to share that honor with him... Lewandowski is the best one last season. I find Benzema better than Messi since last season...

Ballon d'or are simply awarded,by voting from coaches, captains, journalist.
Messi is favorite,but its almost boring handing him the award tonight.
Lewandoski should take this time around he deserves it,jorghino also won the champions league and Euro's,what else does he needs before he wins the award ??

Honestly this particular FIFA Balon d’or 2021 award was given by some Bunch of French journalists because it was hosted in Paris. I am beginning to think Messi went to Paris Saint German rather than Manchester city solely for this reason. PSG is the biggest team in France and Messi is the biggest name there. I don’t think it would’ve been possible ignoring him and giving it to a Polish playing in Germany. Hands down he’s the best striker around the world at the moment. he's been an absolute machine and robbed of this because he doesn't play for a Spanish or French team, absolute joke of a trophy these days and it was given to a name not a quality.

I have heard that Arsenal are also in the race to sign Manchester City winger Raheem Sterling. As far as I know, the other team after him are Barcelona now. And it is also claimed that Raheem Sterling has already said to his team that he wants to leave the team to join a new one which he could have more chances in the starting eleven. Maybe he played in 11 Premier League games but he didn't play for 90 minutes or so in most of them. In case he leaves, I wonder which club he will choose to go. If there are only these alternatives, then Barcelona would be a better choice.

This was moving around for sometime that Raheem Sterling is looking for transfer and Barcelona is looking for him but about Arsenal it's good because now they are also having few changes in coming transfer window and if they were able to bring him to Emirates Stadium this could be great for both parties as Lacazette is also linked with Barcelona, and they are having some issues with some other players also like Xhaka is also going to leave in January for German club.

Arsenal already in talk with Romanian starlet Ianis Stoica, and they have eye on Dembélé which is also leaving Barcelona hopefully they will have some good replacement and Raheem Sterling will prefer staying here in Premier League instead of going to Barcelona.

It seems like that Barcelona are desirous for especially Manchester City players.    They have already been interested in Raheem Sterling. And now, they started monitoring Ferran Torres also. He played in only 4 PL games so far and has 2 goals and 1 assist. He is only 21 years old and his market value is €50m now. He is a young talent and I think Manchester City wouldn't be very eager to sell him. Maybe they could think of loaning him to a club as they don't give him so much chance in their starting eleven.

Manchester United believe Ralf Rangnick's expected arrival at Old Trafford will give them the advantage in the race to sign Norway striker Erling Braut Haaland, 21, from Borussia Dortmund next summer. Personally, I think for Haaland these 3 things will be much more important: money, money and money

I do not think Manchester United has any chance of signing Haaland, and it's not really even about the money, it's cause Manchester United is a club that's performing poorly at the moment, and could prolly miss out on champions league football, and to be honest, a player who's firing on all cylinders like Haaland, and looking to take his career to the next level should not move to Manchester United, there are other big clubs that want to sign him as well, City is a better option if you ask me, and pep may be very Influential in taking Haalands career to the next level.

I agree with you.
For top players like Mbappe, Messi, Ronsaldo or Haaland, a sporting motive is probably just as important as money.
Somehow it seems to me that Haaland could go to either Real or Manchester City and it will all depend a lot on which club Mbappe will eventually go to.
Both players are looking for new sporting challenges and only the Spanish or English football leagues can currently give them that.
I think Ronaldo could change the club again soon. I believe he now regrets not choosing Manchester City after all.

I have been hearing some news about Paul Pogba's future at Manchester United. It is claimed today again that PSG still want to sign Paul Pogba very much. And his current contract expires at the end of next June. If he doesn't renew his contract, PSG or maybe even his old team Juventus might make a contract offer for him. So, Manchester United should make their decision as soon as possible as there is not much time left for January.

It will indeed be an interesting summer. Paul Pogba's contract at Manchester United runs until 30.06.2022. In recent months, there have been repeated rumors that he would only extend his contract if he were the highest-paid player at the club. Currently, he earns around £290,000 per week as one of the top earners, but since CR7 was signed and earns more than £480,000 per week, Pogba seems to be quite unhappy with his salary.

Personally, I doubt very much that Manchester United will pay him almost £500,000 a week if his contract is extended. This circumstance, in turn, makes a transfer in the summer very likely. Accordingly, Paris Saint-Germain has a good chance of signing him if they present Pogba with a good offer. And we all know that money is no factor in Paris. I'm curious to see how the Pogba saga turns out.

Dembele's contract matters more and more complicated. his financial demands are beyond Barcelona's ability.
The Catalan press is talking about 3 clubs that offered him better offers than Barca.
It is very important to deal calmly even in the event of his departure for free, and he must be used as much as possible for his last day in the club.

It was kind of expected, I remember when we discussed Barcelona's contract situation a few months ago. I kinda felt that Dembele will be the one to leave, Fati and Pedri are more important and Barcelona switched their priorities there.

Dembele is a big disappointment anyway, he was so good in Dortmund and accomplished literally nothing at Barcelona. It's really amazing that he's still demanding a big contract, even more amazing that he will get it somewhere. He's technically a great player but not worth the risk for most clubs.

Barcelona can be really active in the coming transfer window seemingly. They are already after some players like Ferran Torres and Raheem Sterling. It is doubtful whether they would sign any of them but they would try their best undoubtedly. And they were after Mohamed Salah too but it didn't seem realistic to me. As I know, Salah is close to renew his contract with Liverpool. And he is quite happy there.

With Barcelona current financial condition, of course it will be very difficult for Barcelona to be able to get Muhammad Salah from Liverpool, besides there doesn't seem to be a strong reason for Salah to leave Liverpool at this time in my opinion, besides if Salah really wants to leave Liverpool, of course Liverpool will sell Salah at a high price or maybe Liverpool have applied Salah with a fairly large release clause because he is still under contract with Liverpool until 2023 later.

There is still no news about Mohamed Salah leaving for me he will stay with Liverpool for a long time even though their contract is still long but Salah's career skyrocketed is at Liverpool of course he will definitely keep with the team now.
Changes can occur when the transfer window is opened. I don't know which player Barcelona are after but Xavi will choose a player according to his criteria with him and good discipline so Xavi will sign a player like that.
Maybe Rahem Sterling could be a possibility to be loaned but if Sterling plays well with Man City then it can be kept and not sold.

Juventus are rumored to be trying to sign Donnarumma from PSG. According to Calciomercato, Donnarumma's arrival to PSG is a transfer that the coach does not want. I think, this is the real reason, why Donnarumma cannot be the first choice Goalkeeper. Donnarumma is also not expected to be a player in the starting XI, at least until the end of the season. Yashin title received by Donnarumma, seems to be meaningless if it is not played by the PSG coach. Returning to Italy to defend Juventus, which is in need of a goalkeeper, will provide a better chance to play for him.

According to Diario Sport, Barcelona's management has chosen the following transfer target. According to the source, the "blue garnet" intend to get the midfielder of "Manchester City" Ferran Torres.

For the sake of the townspeople midfielder, Barcelona even postponed the meeting with transfer agent Dani Olmo from RB Leipzig.

Recall that during the current season, 21-year-old Ferran Torres took part in only 4 confrontations, chalked up 2 goals and 1 assist.

I think Juventus want to sign Donnarumma is not because they need goalkeeper urgently.
Juventus seems to be want to take an advantage of the situation of Donarumma who get less time to play in PSG.
Of course it will be a good deal if Juventus will be able to sign him for long term project since Donarumma is still young.

Kylian Mbappé continues to reject Paris Saint-Germain's offer to extend his contract as they have done before. He is no longer likely to commit to the club. It has been made clear to the world that he wants to play at Real Madrid. Madrid's offer was rejected by PSG, and that's one of the stupidest decisions ever made. They'll regret it later. He remains a firm expectation to be signed for free by Madrid in the summer.

Juventus present and former Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny is trying his best I don't see any reason for his replacement now after all he is also an experience goalkeeper, I think Pochetino rotates the two goalkeepers Keylor Navas and Donarumma in both UCL and ligue one matches, though it's good to pick one of the goalkeepers as a regular starter for all the crucial matches, however the latter has age on his side, staying at PSG will later guarantee him a regular playing time while Navas is 30+ though has experience on his side will get a good offer from other clubs.

Hertha Berlin, who had bad results in the Bundesliga, experienced a manager change. Hertha management, which parted ways with Pal Dardai, agreed with Turkish coach Tayfun Korkut. Let's see if Hertha, who is currently 14th in the league, will be able to debut with this change.

[ILuckyGuyI]

It is reported that Barcelona are interested in signing Manchester United centre-forward Anthony Martial. And they are not the only team which are interested in him as far as I've heard. Some other big Premier League clubs are also speculated in this way. Anyway, I strongly believe that Martial should leave Manchester United and join a team that he can play much more than now. In this way, he can show his talent better and even rise in that team.

I can't imagine both of them at the same team but the gossip around the block is that is exactly what Real is trying to do. They can afford to pay Mbappe just the salary without buying him, we all knew that but they offered 180+ million for him this summer as well which shows that they actually have the money for it as well.

So, what if they get Mbappe for just salary, and then they pay 200 million or so for Haaland as well and get him too? They still need to find better players in defense and midfield, they are not all around amazing and need some help and with spending all that money on just 2 players that would leave them with some gaps in the middle, but that would still be insane to think about. Both of them at the same team could reck havoc all around the world, put someone like Zidane again at manager role and you have yourself a possible UCL once again.
