⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[cryptofrka]

More and more rumors starting to spread that are linking Arsenal with Coutinho. I rejected it at first because it didn't really make any sense for me but it looks there is substance to the story after all.

I really don't know where do they plan to play him and how much are they willing to pay for him, it looks like exactly the type of transfer that cost them a lot in the past and that they stopped making in the last 2 years.
Barcelona is obviously looking to get rid of him, he isn't even playing with all their injuries and problems because if he plays a few more games they will have to pay another installment of the transfer to Liverpool. Good thing for Arsenal is that they cannot ask for any kind of significant money.

The truth is that if Haaland and Mbappé enter Real Madrid, a very strong team would be built, if Real Madrid leaves some strong players like Hazard and others they would be opening a great market for teams that could be in trouble, for example Barcelona. You need some high profile players, as well as many missing that can contribute to the style of play that Xavi may need to implement.

This is only speculating what can happen at any time, if we take into account the entire market that will come for January, many teams will be disarmed and others will really have a very good team of champions.

People are talking about the probability that Real Madrid can sign Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe both in the transfer window in January. To be honest, their making a contract offer to Mbappe wouldn't surprise me. Mbappe is already too eager to join Real Madrid and he wouldn't turn down their offer even in this transfer window. But for Haaland, I'm not so sure. If none of the other teams interested in him make an offer, then Real Madrid would also wait for the end of the season I think.

Yes, with Mbappé it is an almost certain step for him to go to Real Madrid, although it is a surprise that Haaland can go to Real Madrid would be a great advantage for him and for his career, also recently I saw that he admires CR7 a lot and said that it is footballer because he wants to be like CR7 and if so, it is very likely that he will follow in his footsteps, also to say No to Real Madrid is something very difficult, at least if I were a footballer it is like saying No to fame, to money, to everything The good things in life, obviously with a contract he has to ensure his life and that of his family, and it is logical, I have never seen Real Madrid have financial problems.

Considering the source, Tottenham are one of the most serious teams that are interested in signing Milan's young midfielder Franck Kessie in the transfer window next summer. And they have really serious opponents in this race like Arsenal and Manchester United. Franck Kessie's current contract runs out in next June. So, the interested teams won't need to pay any transfer fee for him. Milan must be feeling sad to lose a player like him for free. He is an important part of the team now in the end.

Milan seems to fail in this regard.  He could not get a testimonial from important players such as Hakan Çalhanoğlu and Donnarumma.  It looks like they won't be getting a testimonial for Franck Kessie, the 25-year-old Ivory Coast football player, either.  Kessie is playing good games in the midfield this year.  Milan should strive to retain the player.  If they don't, I'm sure Kessie's next league will be the Premier League.  He is a talented player who can make important contributions to teams like Manchester United and Tottenham.

I agree with what you said about Milan and Franck Kessie coming to a conclusion concern the renewal of his contract but in a situation when money is involved this is what will happen if Milan chooses not to pay him the amount requested I believe Kessie is moving the club that will give him what he wanted. However, that doesn't make Tottenham his next move despite they are leading other clubs.

This is a good deal for me ... especially since Anthony Martialle has not played a single full match in the last 20 weeks (he was on the field for only 200 minutes).

I am more interested in the situation around Pogba, since if he leaves the Devils, they are unlikely to be able to qualify for a slot in the Champions League.

[KTChampions]

If they wanted to sell him and the contract ends in the summer, then it turns out that there were plans to get rid of him in the next transfer window. Interestingly, Isco is not very good this season, but still there is work for him. If we consider that Modric may leave the team, then most likely this indicates that Real is inevitably preparing for major transfer moves in the summer (I hope it will be Mbappe + Haaland).

Carlo Ancelotti joined Real Madrid before the transfer windows closed, but he was not much active in the transfer windows at that time. If we look at the character of Carlo Ancelotti, it is very unlikely that Real Madrid will sign Mbappe and Haaland at the same time. I think Ancelotti is a typical coach who likes to see things first and tries to build a team with the existing composition, and he will only buy players when he really needs them.

However, it would be a different story if the one who wanted a duo between Mbappe and Haaland was the boss of Real Madrid  .

This is the key point. As you know, if Perez wants something, he will get it, and then even such an eminent coach like Ancelotti will have to put up with it. However, I am not sure that there will be any coach who, being in adequate condition, will refuse to receive Mbappe plus Haaland at the same time

Good thing for Arsenal is that they cannot ask for any kind of significant money.

This is a rumor about a transfer that would really make sense for all the parties that are involved to me. Barcelona has debts of more than 1.35 Billion € and they desperately need to save money in order to get at least close to a somewhere stable financial situation again and Coutinho is one of the players with the highest salary as far as i know. Coutinho himself has a pretty unlucky time at Barcelona and would probably pretty happy if he could play in the english premier league again where he basically had his best and most successful time. And arsenal could sign a player that has still the potential to be one of the top players world wide if he feels supported and welcome for a relatively low transfer fee.

Real Sociedad has announced that they have loaned Rafinha from Paris SG. Rafinha went to Paris SG last year and made a total of 39 games. Returning to Spain, do you think Rafinha can be successful in Real Sociedad? I think Real Sociedad made a very good loan transfer. He hasn't had much of a chance to play this season. In the 2021-2022 season, he was able to play only 5 matches with Paris SG.

Rafinha has officially become a Real Sociedad player this season with a permanent purchase option at the end of the season, with his experience so far playing in Barcelona and PSG can certainly help Real Sociedad in trying to penetrate the champions league next season, actually Rafinha was a good midfielder, but the tight competition in PSG midfield has forced Rafinha to be on the bench all this time, besides that Rafinha can get more playing time now at Real Sociedad, especially this season Real Sociedad have lost Merino, David Silva and Oyarzabal due to injury.

[Pulsar77]

... So they need to get rid of other expensive players that have a huge salary first like for example Gareth Bale.

They will get rid of Gareth Bale indeed. Him and Isco are the players to be sent from the club as soon as possible. Gareth Bale is not even playing for Real Madrid anymore. And he was performing much better at Tottenham last season. Taking this into account, I think that he should go back there. Or maybe he would like to go to Manchester United. He would be a great addition to the team I think. Bale is still performing really good in the Premier League as we saw it at Tottenham.

Well it seems that he still wants to play for Manchester United but at this rate he is not going to get a spot in the starting lineup. He could be going to Newcastle though Source Thesun

according to transfermarkt.co.uk Lorenzo Insigne (napoli) will move to the american mls next summer and sign a 5-year contract with toronto fc

The rumors have been mounting for some time, and it now appears that Toronto FC have landed a major attraction for Major League Soccer. Multiple reports on Tuesday suggested that TFC have reached an agreement to sign Italian national team player Lorenzo Insigne from Napoli on a free transfer. On Tuesday, Fabrizio Romano reported that Insigne is seriously considering an offer by the MLS club. MLSSoccer.com and Waking The Read writer Michael Singh has suggested that a deal is done and will go through in June.

I'm happy for Barcelona to finish this deal. Maybe they paid a great sum to Manchester City to be able to sign Ferran Torres. But he was one of Xavi's primary targets to sign in the end. Considering the fact, it wouldn't be big deal for them I guess. Ferran Torres is still a very young player. And I believe that he is a promising player too. I still am surprised how Manchester City let him go. I hope that he contributes to Barcelona superbly for many years.

But there have been so many rumours like he is on the radar of some big clubs already now. For example, Barcelona are said to be one of the most serious teams about reaching an agreement with him. And Martial should definitely leave the team in January I believe. There is no future for him at Manchester United.

Barcelona spends about 700 million a year on salaries - a gigantic amount compared to the cost of servicing this seemingly huge debt. Payments on this debt are stretched over time, so its impact on the financial policy of Barcelona is not catastrophic, although of course it is of great importance.

I both understand the need to send him and get some money in return, but with covid being such a huge problem right now, is it really smart to sell players? I do not know the number of players allowed to registered by a team, but losing one would definitely hurt, specially a good one like Martial. He may not be playing now (no idea why, he is good) but if some players get covid, we could end up seeing Martial getting more minutes.

NBA literally called up some very old and already retired players along with a lot of g-league players just because they had so many covid cases. The other day Minnesota had zero players from their starting five, that should scare United or any soccer team in the world.

Mbappè was predictable and I also think he will not leave if they will offer 30m/year.
Insigne was searched by Inter and it is astonishing to say no to Inter and go to Toronto only for the money.

Well, he has 4-5 more years of play and it will be 50 million... not so stupid.

It's a good decision if Anthony Martial decides to move to another club, because Martial doesn't get much playing time at Man United. When Man United
faced Newcastle, Martial was not in the Man United squad, even Ralf Rangnick would have let Martial go if another club was willing to pay the transfer fee
Man United wanted. Because Martial is still under contract with Man United until 2024, so with the remaining contract still quite long, if there are other
clubs that want to get Martial of course they can't buy Martial cheaply. The rumors I hear are not only Barcelona interested in signing Martial.
However, Sevilla are quite serious about signing Martial on loan. But unfortunately Sevilla were only able to pay half of Martial's salary, so Man United
were reject Sevilla's offer.

It's not all about money, although Mbappè has nothing to complain about. But he's at home, that counts for a lot.
In any case, I think he's right to stay at Paris Saint-Germain, and strive to help him win the Champions League, the championship and the cup. And with him in Paris, Real Madrid will have a lot of difficulty, it's no wonder they wanted to buy him.

It depends for Mbappe. If PSG managed to win CL title then he will most likely stay with the club. If PSG will lose or be humiliated in a CL game or less likely lose Ligue 1 title then he will probably walk away and find his way to get some trophies with Real Madrid.
For Insigne, I didn't thought he will make that step early if we could say so!
