⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Distraction]

The next transfer window is very near to open. And I'm curious about two things especially:

- Will Real Madrid make a contract offer to Kylian Mbappe and reach an agreement for the next summer?
- What players will Newcastle be able to sign in January and how much will they be able to increase their strength?

There are some rumours like Real Madrid won't be rushing anything already now. Mbappe is already ready to leave the team to join Real Madrid in the end. And I hope that Newcastle can improve their squad quality a lot until the transfer window closes. In this way, they will have a very big chance to maintain their presence in the EPL.

The idea of Alexis Sanchez coming back to Barcelona in exchange for Luke de Jong’s exit to Inter seems likely and close, according to Sport.If it happens, it will be one of the many incomprehensible deals in Barca.
What do you want and what do you expect from him at this age and after this Recent experiences?
It's true that Luke de Jong is far from being a Barca player, yes. But i don't see Alexis is going to be the the solution.

Alexis has failed at barcelona and now they want alexis back, I think things like this can only make things worse for barcelona.
Luke is still not able to contribute much, but Alexis is also not the right answer and maybe even if something like this happens alexis will just repeat the same impression and will only fail again

I don't think if sanchez will agree to return to barcelona, ​​sanchez who had been a barcelona player in the 2011 to 2014 season has been wasted by barcelona, ​​so at that time he preferred to join arsenal in 2014/18, the current sanchez with Intermilan also not doing well and the plan is that they will release Sanchez on loan in January to another club, but I doubt if Sanchez will want to return to Barcelona.

There is something important at this point before discussing this topic. Luuk De Jong is not Barcelona's player completely. He is just on loan at Barcelona.    He is going to be coming back to Sevilla next June. And it was the first call for Barcelona to sign him. He played in so many games at Barcelona so far and his performance was just terrible.

Two more FC Bayern transfer updates:

The German newspaper TZ reports that Serge Gnabry and FC Bayern are currently in contract negotiations. A quick agreement is not to be expected, as there is still potential for conflict, especially regarding Gnabry's salary, however, the player has already indicated that he would like to extend his contract with FC Bayern.

Talks between Serge Gnabry, Hasan Salihamidžić and Oliver Kahn over a new contract have been ongoing for weeks. A quick agreement is not expected to be reached yet. However, Gnabry is positively leaning towards staying in Munich [@kessler_philipp, @tzmuenchen]

According to transfermarkt.com Real Madrid, FC Liverpool and Juventus Turin are also interested in signing Serge Gnabry. IMHO, Gnabry and FC Bayern will reach an agreement at the beginning of 2022 and that he will extend his contract by four to five years. I doubt that he will move to another league.


FC Bayern signed the 18 year-old Chinese goalkeeper Liu Shaoziyang on a 3 1/2 year contract until 06.2025. Shaoziyang is expected to gain match practice in FC Bayern's youth teams.

Bayern have signed Chinese goalkeeper Liu Shaoziyang (18) on a 3 and a half year contract until June 2025. The deal is part of the cooperation with partner club FC Wuhan Three Towns. Shaoziyang is planned for FCB's youth teams [fcb]

The source is claiming that Barcelona are looking for a chance to sign the Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland. And PSG also could enter the race to sign him. There are other big teams chasing him also like Real Madrid and Manchester United. In this situation, Barcelona can be the team that have the smallest chance to sign him. Not only their current place in the La Liga but also their financial condition would be affective in this.

[KTChampions]

Barcelona's only advantage over Real is the absence of Benzema, Mbappe and Vinicius there - if Haaland moves to Barcelona, he will be the top-1 attacker there with minimal competition. But this is a rather risky option, because without other acquisitions Barcelona will not be able to return to its previous level and obviously Haaland leaves Borussia not with goal to get into Spanish Borussia  

Oh yes, the current Barcelona is not the best option and what is most important in this case is not the most profitable option for a player like Haaland. When I constantly read information that Barcelona wants to sign a player, but at the same time wants to ask him to reduce wages, then information about Barcelona's interest in Haaland is perceived with great bewilderment. Reading the previous statements of Mino Raiola, it is hard to believe that Barcelona will be able to simultaneously satisfy the financial appetites of Borussia Dortmund, the player himself and his agent. Therefore, all this looks like just an attempt on the part of the Barcelona management to remind once again about themselves and show their importance. They say we are still a super club and therefore we can participate in such high-profile transfers.

Barcelona's only chance to get a lot of money at once and come back to the fight for the top players in the transfer market is the start of the Super League, but I haven't heard any good news about it lately. By the way, I do not think that Barcelona under Xavi's leadership is suitable for Haaland, the classic tiki-taka is not something that suits such a determined and aggressive player.

At the moment Barcelona need a skilled striker very much. I don't see any good striker in the team. No striker is fit, can't play well. However, they do not seem to be able to take Haaland to the team. Real Madrid have long been interested in signing Haaland. My guess is that Madrid will do their best to get Haaland to the team. Mbappe is in the PSG team. Are they interested in taking Haaland to the team now?

They really need a decent striker indeed. They have Depay, Braihtwaite and L. de Jong as attackers right now. Depay is not a complete forward actually. Braithwaite was doing good though but he has got injured. And L. de Jong is the worst now and he is on loan btw. Signing a young world star like Erling Haaland is the dream for Barcelona. But they have a very little chance for this while there are better teams in line. Real Madrid are one of them and they want to sign Haaland and Mbappe both if I'm not mistaken.

Real Madrid want both Haaland and Mbappe. But Mbappe may not be ready to come to Real Madrid yet. Moreover, Mbappe's chemistry with Messi is better now. Their bond with each other is good enough now. If their friendship is good then maybe Mbappe will stay PSG for a few more seasons. Real Madrid will benefit if Haaland can be included in the team. Haaland's style of play is similar to the way Real Madrid likes to play offensively. Haaland can easily adapt to Real Madrid's strategy.

My answer to the survey question in the title was "Real Madrid".  I think Haaland will go to Real Madrid.  The Spanish league is a league where he could be better in his playing style.  Of course, the English league is also an option, but I think Haaland will go to Real Madrid.

Haaland going to Real Madrid has a great chance of winning the competition and being in a strong team and now in contrast to Barcelona who are in bad times I think Barcelona will be ignored by Haaland although some say Laporta can convince.
If you go to the English league, Haaland must be prepared with an EPL game mentality because it is very different from other leagues, it can be said that the EPL game is very tight and also more aggressive.

You're right.  That's why I think La Liga is more suitable for Haaland.  If he goes to Real Madrid, he can play a double striker with Benzema.  Maybe Real Madrid can send Benzema off the team after Haaland.  After all, Sergio Ramos left Real Madrid.  I think the probability of Haaland choosing Barcelona is less.

Will it be possible haalaand to madrid ? because as far as i know madrid is more targeting kylian mbappe and they have been doing it since the transfer market last summer, i think haalaand is only an alternative for madrid at this time if indeed they fail to get the main priority i.e. kylian mbappe, besides that madrid maybe will lose to compete with clubs that have more money at the moment are like manchester city.

After all, Bayern in the Bundesliga is indeed too domineering, maybe because of that there are rumors that Robert Lewandowski will move to Man City or Real Madrid. I think Lewandowski can try a challenge in the Premier League, which is indeed the best football league in Europa right now, even a lot of strong teams in the Premier League. Problems Bayern want to release Lewandowski at a very high price, it seems very difficult to find
a club that is willing to buy a player who is 33 years old at an expensive price. Because it's a bad investment if a club buys a 33-year-old player at an expensive price, so my prediction is that Lewandowski will stay with Bayern until his contract runs out.

I would say that if he waits until his contract is up then he won't be able to get into any other team at that age. He needs to leave now if he wants to leave but I feel like he is currently quite happy. Why would you leave a team that you got used to so much, winning all the time and earning so much?

I get that "looking for a new challenge" is a case for most players but those players usually do not get the happiness Lewa is getting at Bayern, if nothing else they will win the league every single year and that seems like a good enough reason to stay. They also did the famous sextuple by winning 6 titles in a single season as well, which is incredible feat.

Actually, for mbappe, they don't really need to spend money because he is now ready to become a free transfer next season. speaking of haaland there is indeed some news that they are starting to approach this player.
but the problem is i feel they will have a surplus of capable strikers and it would be very difficult to think about if haaland and mbappe were to become a team.

Journalist Christian Falk reports that Chelsea player Antonio Rudiger has decided to move to Real Madrid. The footballer rejected other offers and intends to continue his career in the Royal Club camp.

It is worth noting that the German was interesting to a number of European top clubs, among which were PSG, Bayern Munich and Manchester United.

The only one who could compete with Real Madrid in terms of salary for Rudiger is PSG, but the French are doing well in defense.

If I recall correctly (since I follow Christian Falk also) , Real Madrid are not the only one interested. There are lot of teams according to Christian Falk interested in Rudiger like Manchester United, PSG , Bayern and Madrid. But out of all Real Madrid is on the pole position only if he leaves Chelsea. Right now it is still ongoing but here is what Falk posted about Rudiger salary expectations : https://twitter.com/cfbayern/status/1471050672284045312

Christian Falk

He is one of the most reliable ones especially for german players of players who play in Germany.
He is also not the only one who talks about this interest and the potential deal done.

Rumor.

Lorenzo Insigne will leave Napoli and he will talk about new clubs in January, he will be a free agent.
Inter was interested in him last year but now they also have Sanchez in the same position and yes they want to sell Sanchez so Insigne to Inter could be a thing the next year.

In my opinion, Haalaand is not a good option for Madrid, especially if Kylian Mbappe arrival has made Madrid's front line quite strong with Benzema, Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo Goes and Assensio, with so many strikers, it will certainly create stiff competition between players so that in the end it actually caused disharmony in the team, in my opinion, rather than bringing in haaland it was better for madrid to strengthen their defense and their middle position which currently still looks quite fragile.

[jakdanyel]

According to this news source, Manchester City are really interested in Dortmund's great striker Erling Haaland. However, they are not willing to spend too much to sign him. Maybe the reason why they made a statement like this (if it's not a rumour) could be that they are thinking of signing Harry Kane at the first occasion. Harry Kane is unhappy at Tottenham now and he wants to leave the team as soon as possible. And he would cost less than Haaland to City I guess.
