⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[CLS63]

Newcastle are aiming to sign the PSG goalkeeper Keylor Navas in this transfer window but PSG don't seem to be keen on selling him now. He has still two more years left on his current contract right now. I know that he is 35 years old but this is not a big problem for a goalkeeper as long as he performs great. And we see that Keylor Navas is still doing a great job at PSG and the team prefer him in the starting eleven more than Donnarumma. Newcastle don't seem to have much chance to sign him now.

Transfer rumours:
Real Madrid or Barcelona must spend 350 million euros (£292m) to sign Norway striker Erling Braut Haaland from Borussia Dortmund, a figure that includes the 21-year-old's transfer fee, wages across a six-year deal and commissions paid to agent Mino Raiola and his father. Does it just seem to me that this is a huge amount of money for a still relatively young player who has not learned to play under great pressure of expectations? Besides, it seems to me that this is an unattainable amount of money for Barcelona.

This is really interesting I think. If he is really going to cost that much to the teams interested in him despite having a favorable release clause, then there are not many teams which can afford him this summer. Because many teams have been having financial problems and only the rich ones have had the situation under control so far. Because of this, I think that Barcelona should already forget about him. But I can't say the same for the teams like PSG, Real Madrid and Manchester City. They would still be willing to pay that much money for him.

Actually, in my humble opinion, the option with Barcelona immediately looked less plausible than the options with other teams. If Barcelona did not manage to fit into the parameters of financial fair play in order to keep Messi in its squad, then what can we say about a full-fledged and expensive transfer of such a promising footballer as Haaland, not forgetting also that it will still have to spend money on payments to the footballer himself and his famous agent in the person of Mino Raiola. However, if the amount concerned only 75 million euros, then it seems that there would still be at least some chances that Barcelona would find financial reserves for this, but anything above 150 million euros would be clearly an unaffordable burden for the club.

I don't think that even Real Madrid will go for him at that price with that huge transfer fee you can't imagine the salary he will demand and Real Madrid still have soke players that earns a lot and with salary cap that LaLiga imposing it will be very difficult to see this happend not mention that the UEFA financial Fair Play will make them sell some players cause I Do not think that they are able to use more then 250-300M euros in a single transfer window.

I think it is much more important for Real to bring Mbappe to the club, and I think that after that transfer they really will not have enough finances to bring Haaland as well.
For Barcelona, that money is really too much in their current financial situation and therefore only PSG and Manchester City remains, as the only clubs that can spend so much money on Haaland.
I have to admit that Haaland and his manager are really asking for a lot of money and are not at all modest in their demands, despite the current financial crisis in football.
Such transactions are very risky, because the player may be seriously injured or not meet high expectations as happened with Bale, Hazard, Coutinho etc.

Haaland to Barcelona? are you kidding me and make joke, I think impossible Barcelona can get Haaland trough to register Ferran Torres last week they need to ask Umtiti accepted reduce salary, how come can get Haaland and need to pay more than £292m, where Barcelona can much money with this amount, looking with Ferran Torres Barcelona should pay 5x for Manchester City because not have enough money pay full £50m and Haaland price most expensive than Ferran Torres exactly Dortmund never have negotiation payment can be pay in installments up to 5 times.

Maybe we will not be surprised if a few seasons ago barcelona bought great players because of their healthy finances, but for this season, of course it would be very surprising if they intend to recruit haalaand because their finances are quite bad,  of course does not rule out the possibility if barcelona can recruits haalaand but it is certain that it will cost a lot of money and will make their finances worse, besides that the binding La Liga regulations of course require Barcelona to sell players if they have new players and even the income that Barcelona receives is only 25 percent which can be used to spend on players, and to circumvent regulations that is what caused Barcelona to have to pay off Ferran Torres in installments, even though their can could actually pay in cash.
The only way to get haalaand is to sell a lot of barcelona players right now, so that they can reduce the team salary burden and stabilize it with the arrival and salary that haalaand will receive later, considering the price and salary of haalaand are high today, of course to get haalaand, barcelona must sell at least 5 or 6 of their players first.

It won't happen this season nor next season rather strange when Barcelona let Messi go and then bought Haaland , wouldn't it be better to keep Messi than to buy Haaland? Messi's departure is related to club finances if buying Haaland means taking on the same problem so we can dismiss this rumor. I expect Barcelona to be inactive in the upcoming transfer market.

I found the picture on social media and it looks like the picture was taken after the match between Liverpool and Arsenal in the Carabao Cup last week, I think the picture should be a warning to Arsenal in protecting Bukayo Saka from Klopp seduction, so far Saka performance at Arsenal has been very good and many big teams are starting to approach Bukayo Saka in order to leave the arsenal, one of those teams is Liverpool, and Klopp has openly said that he really likes the style and speed of the game from Saka.

At this point, I'm sure Barcelona needs such a center forward. Honestly, this ain't going to work since the amount of money involved is so enormous.
Consequently, the Real Madrid Football Club are preparing a financial offer of £292m to convince Erling Haaland away from Dortmund this summer.

Saka would be a fantastic transfer for Liverpool. He is versatile, direct, English, has great mentality and he's really mature for his age. He'd give a lot of options to the Liverpool attack.

I don't think Arsenal would listen to anything south of 100 million pounds though, which Liverpool will not pay for sure. He is one of the most interesting young players and their whole new project will be based around players like him.

Bottom line - I would love it to happen but I see no chance of it actually happening.

Something seems to be happening with Tolisso from Bayern Munich. He scored his first goal at the weekend and showed a great game. His contract expires on 30 June 2022. Bayern paid 41.5 million euros in 2017 and now it's only worth 15 million euros. Inter Milan and Tottenham Hotspur are interested. Will Bayern extend the contract? That could happen if Tolisso shows a strong performance in the coming weeks or months. At the age of 27 and as a french national player, he will find a good club in the champinos league.

[ingiltere]

Latest rumors about Haaland to Barcelona is ridiculous, especially for that price tag. Barcelona got rid of their big players due to financial problems, they can't afford that kind of transfer in the next decade. I don't think Real Madrid would pay that amount of money for just one player as well. This is just a magazine, current financial conditions of the world won't allow any team to spend 350 million to only one player. Forget about these astronomical fees, I'd be surprised if we see 200+ million transfer fee for any player in next five years.

In determining E. Haaland’s future, Barcelona isn’t an option for him right now and I am sure he knows this and even the Barcelona boards knows as well. Barcelona are in a very bad financial state  right now and spending that much amount of money on just 1 player isn’t wise and they know. The whole team looks lost and I am sure they are not getting any medal this season. Their best game played this season was against Real Madrid which they lost, I think they should try and get the most out of the manager and players before making any more signing.

If Newcastle United wants to be able to compete with the big teams and get some medals, they should go scouting for young players who are skillful, good and willing to play other than buying wood from burnley for such huge amount, as for me wood isn’t worth it. We all know Newcastle United have enough cash to throw around based on the clubs new owners but getting players this old and expensive isn’t going to pay off good for them.

Yes, Barcelona's financial condition didn't allow for Haaland's signing and I don't think Barcelona will be able to sell several players at once just for the sake of getting Haaland. Barcelona let off Messi and Griezmann because of financial problems. If they insisted on getting Haaland then their situation could get even worse, because in order to sign Haaland then there will be some that will have to be sacrificed.

We have seen some really big players who didn’t meet up to expectations after moving to some certain clubs for big big money transfers, and as long as E. Haaland and k. Mbape are humans anything is possible with them, they are still very young and they should take their time in deciding their future and where to move to, yeah we know almost every player  wants to play for the big clubs. And I think either haaland or mbape can play very well in Madrid, man city or Bayern
It is really up to them to decide and if whosoever wants them can meet up with  their current club asking price, they are willing to sell.

I have seen some news regarding Donny van de Beek's probable transfer. And it was claimed that Newcastle wanted to sign him on a loan deal but he didn't want to go to them because of their position in the standings. This is another proof for Newcastle that they are going to have a really hard time signing good players like him as long as they stay in the relegation area. They need to do something from now on to start recovering. Otherwise, they are under the threat of relegating. And in that case, it might be a dream for them to sign big names.

I think Newcastle are aiming for a short term priority of escaping relegation first that is why they are trying to set  up a formidable team atleast to escape relegation, signing of Keypas Navas from PSG, Trippier is already in the team with addition of three more signings, they will fight relegation tooth and nail, till they escape thereafter I believe will start signing of young players at the end of season luckily the owner of the club is rich, they will be to afford any player who wish to join the club.

The Telegraph reports that Manchester United are considering signing Aston Villa midfielder John McGinn.

According to the source, the experienced Scot has long been interested in the Red Devils. True, the club is going to make a transfer not in January. The team is ready to get a midfielder in the summer.

As part of the current season, the footballer took part in 17 Premier League matches, chalked up three goals and two assists.

Fabrizio Romano says that Chelsea are after signing the PSG left-back Layvin Kurzawa this month. But the talks haven't been opened yet. They were planning to sign Lucas Digne but Aston Villa were quicker than them and finished the deal. Now, Chelsea wouldn't like to be slow about this transfer I assume. They should make their offer as soon as possible. And I think that Kurzawa is a decent left-back. He is 29 now and he played for only nine minutes in this season until today. PSG wouldn't make difficulties for Chelsea because of this.

This guy is literally just above average while playing in Aston Villa and there isnt anything special with him. Aston Villa even slapped 30 million euro on this guy and I dont see why United would want him on the team when there are alot more capable midfielder. Even with Pogba most likely not going to be on the team, spending this much for a player that most likely will not make it to the regular starting lineup

The issue was never their midfield though

[judas]

I see in the source that Juventus are preparing to make an offer for Manchester United striker Anthony Martial. It doesn't look like that he has a bright future at this team. So it would be the best choice for him to leave the team with the aim of joining a decent club that he can be in the starting eleven regularly. And Juventus are one of the teams that have some problems on their attacking line now. If Martial adapts to the team and the Serie A, I think that he can contribute to them incredibly much.

I don’t even think this McGuin transfer saga is real. Besides I don’t think Steven Gerrard would be reluctant to let the midfielder go. He’s an integral part of Aston Villa and he’s part of leadership players in the team. But looking at this Manchester United squad, they have depth in the midfield. Maybe they’re all average players or underperforming midfielders. Why not go for a more experienced midfielder. Why McGuin, he’s just like Mctominay and Fred. They have little prove. Right now, I don’t think getting anyhow players is the right plan for Manchester United. But as they only care about bringing in players, they can sign who ever they want, nothing will change. The whole club is flawed from the management, to the coaches and then the players. They have no style of play, they need a coach who will bring he’s style of play and create an identity.
