⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

Honestly, I wasn't expecting the Vlahovic transfer to happen so soon. I knew that there were some rumours like some big clubs were after him but I didn't know that Juventus were so close to signing him. They finished the transfer quickly and it cost them 70 million euros as far as I know. I think that this is definitely not a big amount of money for him. Vlahovic has been one of the most talented and young strikers recently. People are talking about him really much. I'm already excited about what he will do at Juventus.

In fact, such an outcome was obvious, because despite the "trade" all parties wanted such a result. Vlašević wanted to go to a stronger club, Juventus wanted to get a strong and promising striker, and Fiorentina wanted to get the most money. If this transfer were delayed, then in the end Fiorentina risked either getting less money or not getting it at all, while having a player who wants to leave the club.

Tottenham is currently unlucky in the transfer market. After Adama Traoré decided in favor of FC Barcelona instead of Tottenham yesterday, the next preferred candidate Luis Diaz from Woverhampton Wanderers will probably not go to London either, but to Liverpool FC. A delegation from Liverpool is on its way to South America as the player is currently with the Colombian national team.

I feel this is a good choice because even though at the moment Barcelona are not very good in their form but of course their chances are bigger than Tottenham and I feel Traore is very wise in this regard.
misfortune happened again for tottenham and now a big team ready to tackle them back.
this will be very bad i think and indeed tottenham have to think about other options to sign at least one striker in this transfer window

Manchester United have experienced defenders like Eric Bailly and Raphael Varane. United have world-class star midfielders like Pogba and Bruno. Yet you say their defense and midfield are weak? I don't think so. Manchester United have enough talented players everywhere in defense, midfield and forward. But due to weak tactics, the players are not able to perform well in their place.

You have a good point there but here is the thing. Paul Pogba is speculated like that he is most likely to leave the team this summer at the very latest. His contract is already ending this summer unless he signs a new one. And for now, it seems like this won't be happening. Manchester United really don't seem like they are very eager to keep him at the team. If I were in their place, I would definitely give my best to do this. If Pogba leaves for real, then they will have to bring a new midfielder who can replace him in the best way possible.

I think paul pogba will leave Manchester United when his contract expires, he has been wanting to leave long before now and I guess he just decided to endure until his contract ends so there will be no stopping him. And I think his agent is as well considering a move away from the club. As a Manchester United player I really like paul pogba and I enjoy seeing him play when he is in his best of forms he is a joy to watch. But as it is now I think he is ready to leave and Manchester United are not really scouting for a replacement yet.

Frank Lampard and Wayne Rooney were the best options.  However, because Wayne Rooney did not want to come, the option was singled out.  Lampard has a great football background.  Moreover, he also served at Chelsea for a while.  He will be a great coach for mid-range Everton to pass on his experience.  I'm already curious about Frank Lampard's Everton performance.  Maybe if he achieves a more successful technical career, he can return to Chelsea, where he is a legend, as a Coach.

I still can't believe that these two are the names that comes to mind when there are other managers. First of all, when did we stop taking managers out of clubs? That used to be a thing, managers would be managing a team, and much better team would just come up with a 2x better offer and also would pay for the compensation to other club and then get it. Look at what happened with Xavi, dude was managing another team and he was taken from there.

So to say that it would be just Lampard or Rooney because other managers are already managing a team doesn't make sense to me. Get Mourinho while you are at it, Roma is not a bad Qatar team of course but Everton could still both pay more than Roma could AND also pay Roma to let him leave at the same time, not like Roma is doing marvellous neither. I just don't get it, it should be easy to pick anyone from other leagues aside from few top name coaches, why limit to lampard and rooney?

England winger Raheem Sterling is set to resume contract talks with Manchester City. The 27-year-old's current deal runs out in the summer of 2023 and Barcelona, Paris St-Germain and Real Madrid remain interested in the player. The real question is what would be better for Sterling right now, stay or go to another club? It seems to me that PSG or Barcelona would be better options for him right now.

I'm pretty sure Raheem Sterling was seriously considering an exit from City few months back cause he was used sparingly and he hardly ever got playing time, but I think the situation has changed in the last couple of weeks, he was finally able to fight his way back into the team, and he has been in excellent form of late, he even picked up the EPL player of the month award for last month, I believe all this could influence Sterlings decision, and he could go on to renew his contract. I know Pep does not give any guarantees to his players that they'll start games, and Sterling will likewise have that at the back of his mind too, what if he falls out of favor again, it's a tight decision, and Raheem Sterling has to make one which is best for his career, and in my opinion it's best he stays in City and competes for a place in the team.

Manchester city is a club that every player would want to play for, this is  because it is one of the biggest  clubs right now and considering the fact that they have a wealthy owner  and together with one of the best footballing  managers, I don't really see any problems in Raheem Sterling renewing his contract with city. It is actually up to him since his present contract is ending soon. Maybe he might decide to test challenges elsewhere. But I think he will remain at Manchester City.

An agreement has been reached with FC Barcelona regarding the loan of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The transfer can only take place if Ousmane Dembélé leaves the club. Chelsea should sign him, he is an excellent winger. Anyway, Manchester United is monitoring all the wingers in the world. If not, his career is at risk of being further ruined. Aubameyang is a much better player than Dembele. Do they have a chance to succeed?

I read their odds and it seems that this has been agreed as long as Barcelona are willing to pay Auba's salary of £350,000 per week and when he said that Gerard Romero claimed that Barcelona had agreed to those terms.
I think it's going to be more difficult for Dembele now, and it looks like he's already very slim to have a chance at Barcelona.
If he wasn't injury prone I actually regret what has happened to his current form and maybe someone will accept him now.

Transfer rumours:
Barcelona and Juventus have made official approaches to sign 32-year-old Gabon striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on loan from Arsenal for the rest of the season. Which club will eventually go to?

Juventus already signed Dusan Vlahovic, I think Juventus doesn't need another central forward. Juventus also still have other central forwards for the substitutions, so what for to sign Aubameyang? If Aubameyang wants to leave, Barcelona is a more appropriate place since they have no strong strikers now. Depay is the most consistent central forward there, but sometimes he also cannot show his best. So, no doubt that Barcelona seems to have a higher chance to sign Aubameyang if they are really interested in him.

Okay, Juventus paid dearly for Vlahovic and I think it's unlikely they'll also sign Aubameyang for the same position.
Barca manager Xavi wants to add a striker to his squad before the transfer window closes on Monday, but any arrival will depend on whether winger Ousmane Dembele signs a contract extension or moves elsewhere. In addition, Vlahovic has already been offered to Barça before, but the club prioritized other players, will he now.

Can Barcelona just start buying new players? It was all over the news that they have huge debts. But, in Spain a lot is possible. Madrid also had a huge debt I think and kept buying. Special regulations. I would like to see Barcelona come back to the top. They could use some good attackers right now. They no longer have a real goal-getter. And that is the one who would make the difference here.

[diyetisman]

Barcelona would make use of a solid striker right now. There is not much time left for the end of the transfer window and Barcelona must act quicker than this. They shouldn't leave the striker transfer to the summer. They are experiencing big problems on scoring multiple goals in a game and this is why they are struggling in each one of their games in their league. If they solve the striker problem, then they can play stronger than ever. But they don't seem like they will go for a striker now. The Aubameyang speculations are still existing but we will see if they will finish this transfer.

It is reasonable if Juventus want to sign Aubameyang because there is a rumor that Morata is getting closed to leave as he seems to be not comfortable enough with the coming of Vlahovic. If it is happen then it can be a win-win solution for both Arsenal and Juventus because I heard that Arsenal is willing to sign Morata and the transfer might be easier for both teams.

I believe Arsenal not thinking where he went. The important thing is this sale must give them cash because they want to hunt the new players. but the time is running out, the deadline until Monday, Juventus or Barcelona must thinking fast. I don't know what strategy Barcelona for use when Aubameyang has a deal because they have Ansu Pati, Ferran Torres, Adama Traore, Ousmane Dembele, and academy graduates also. will he fill up the bench also?.

I think that Barcelona is also thinking the same thing and that is the reason for the delay of this transfer. I really think that Barcelona should hold on to their money right now and buy a really better striker in the next transfer market. Someone who can be the backbone of Barcelona's attack. But the problem is Barcelona players in all the positions almost. So it is a hard job for them to hold onto their money.

The problem with Barcelona looking for a better striker is that they will need to pay a lot of money for the striker which is not something that Barcelona wouldn't like to do under the situation they are in.

Maybe they are thinking that they would save up and bring a really good striker in their team but the problem is maybe a striker who is really costly to get might not want to play for Barcelona has. So it's a dilemma which Barcelona needs to solve.

Can Barcelona just start buying new players? It was all over the news that they have huge debts. But, in Spain a lot is possible. Madrid also had a huge debt I think and kept buying. Special regulations. I would like to see Barcelona come back to the top. They could use some good attackers right now. They no longer have a real goal-getter. And that is the one who would make the difference here.

Certainly can, Big debt makes Barcelona has to make a policy to bring in new players in the transfer window. Selling some players might be a solution for Barcelona to get some money or make a player loan with a permanent purchase option at the end of the season. A number of names began to be associated with Barcelona, they just managed to bring in Adama Traore on loan. Aubameyang is also on the barcelona radar. Cesar Azpilicueta has also agreed to join Barcelona next summer on a free transfer.

Not a bad move , as we might get used to see barcelona signed an everage player every season now lol. Not really bad to have adama replacing dembele who will leave very soon. Complicated situation when it comes to calculating transfer budget and the debt that they are currently facing in.

Despite the principal agreement might have been reached between azpilicueta and barcelona, the transfer could still be fail. Let's skip this one first.
Aubameyang might be more reasonable for the deadline day!

Barcelona's financial condition is indeed a barrier for Barcelona to buy top players, Barcelona finally had to take another step by focusing
on targeting players who could be brought in for free or on loan. That's a step that must be done until Barcelona's finances can return to normal,
the problem is there are not many choices of good players that can be brought in for free or on loan. Hopefully Xavi can take advantage of
a player like Adama Traore, whose level of play cannot be said to be special. Regarding Azpilicueta, it is not certain that Barcelona will be able
to get him, because Chelsea will not stay silent when Azpilicueta is  approached by Barcelona. Chelsea are reportedly still negotiating with
Azpilicueta's agent, and there is a possibility Chelsea reach an agreement to extend Azpilicueta's contract.

I agree with you, Barcelona have a better chance of signing Aubameyang by borrowing him from Arsenal. Because Arteta doesn't want
Aubameyang again, but Barcelona have to compete with Everton who are also interested in borrowing Aubameyang from Arsenal.
We'll see if Barcelona can bring in Aubameyang, if successful this will strengthen Barcelona's front line, because Aubameyang is a very good
player actually.

Barcelona had completed the signing of Adama Traore on loan from Wolves, till the end of this season with the possibility of signing him permanently, though he has 7 months before his contract expires in Wolves, Adama Traore is strong and pacy and his inclusion into Barca team will strengthen the team, I like his bullying style of play in EPL, he hardly fall down when held by any opponent and he is also a good dribbler, his wealth of experience will help his new club young players and Xavi will surely integrate him quickly into the team.

Another good sign for Juventus in this session and this time it was cheap

Personally, I've never liked Adama Traore as a footballer, I think he lacks technical ability and he is really unproductive having scored a very little number of goals and provided only a handful of assists in his career, sometimes I even feel he is overrated, but then I wish him all the best in Barcelona, though I feel if Barca were still the club we knew them as, they definitely wouldn't be signing Adama Traore, they are in a crisis (both financially, on and off the pitch as well), and they will take anyone their hands can grasp for an affordable sum. I'd love to see how Xavi integrates Traore into the team, I hope he does improve under Xavi to become a very good player.
