⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[SirLancelot]

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.

With the signing of Traore, who comes from Barcelona youth and knows the tiki taka system they are so famous for, Xavi got one more player he could use for his tactics. I believe that players who were from las masia and then went to other teams would be a lot better for them instead of players who are just good, Ajax could work too if they are good and cheap enough.

This loan deal is basically them trying to postpone the debt, this way they can pay whatever they have to this year, and then buy the players during off-season which would allow them to show some revenue before they can create new debt. It is not easy to get out of debt once you are in it and if you are a football club that has to keep paying hundreds of millions of euros per year.

As far as we know, Haaland will be a free player in the next transfer window as his contract with Borussia Dortmund is ending. Unofficially, it is said that Real Madrid, Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain are interested in him. However, have any of you wondered that it is possible to move him to Bayern Munich?

Haaland is a very talented player. And the idea is that they will be the first line players of the future and the most expensive players in the world. So everyone will be interested to take such young talent in the team. Not only Bayern Munich, Barcelona will also want to take Haaland to their team.
Because Barcelona needs a regular scorer. At the same time Bayern Munich will be interested in Haaland, as their main striker Lewandowski is still playing well, but he is old enough. Bayern Munich will have to find a replacement for Lewandowski.

In the long term, getting Haaland to Bayern Munich would be a very good strategic move. However, Lewandowski is still playing at the highest level, so I wonder if the Bayern managers will want to spend such a huge amount of money now or whether it will wait two or three years for a new football star to appear on the market.
It is certain that if Haaland had moved to Bayern Munich, his dominance in the Bundesliga would have become even greater.

If Haaland doesn't renew his contract at Dortmund, there are indications that Haaland will also turn down offers from Man City, PSG, and Man United, because it seems Haaland prefers to move to Spain.

Real Madrid and Barcelona are both interested in signing Haaland, but it is likely that Real Madrid will get Haaland, because Barcelona is going through a financial crisis, so it will be difficult for them to be able to sign Haaland.

Transfer rumours:
Borussia Dortmund and Norway striker Erling Braut Haaland, 21, wants to wait to make a decision on his future to see if Barcelona will be able to afford to sign him. It is not clear to me where Barcelona got the money for such an expensive transfer. Their financial problems are well known so this transfer doesn't seem like a realistic option to me.

I do not understand another thing - for what purpose Haaland is allegedly considering the possibility of moving to Barcelona (which has lost the status of a top club), in my opinion it is better to stay in Borussia. It seems to me that these are just inventions of journalists, nothing more, or a "leak" from the player's agents who are trying to catch up with more excitement and get better terms for him with those clubs with which he is in real negotiations.

I'm not sure in my heart Haaland wants to go to Barcelona because indeed the top-flight reputation for him has begun to fade for Barcelona, therefore he is more worthy of another club that is a candidate for UCL champions this season, but will Real Madrid offer such an expensive price do Barcelona?
The truth is Haaland is still silent and this is only the agent who talks about Haaland's transfer this season and also I read in local articles Haaland is full of pressure from Dortmund to stay.

I personally think that Haaland's talent is gonna wasted if he chooses to go to Barcelona rather than teams like RMA or City. Barcelona right now are in a rebuilding phase and he should not join them otherwise he will be wasted just like Antoine Griezmann or Philippe Coutinho. Even if he joined them, he alone can only do so much. SO if he wants to leave Dortmund, I think Manchester City or Real Madrid is the best place for him.

The source says that Manchester City are unwilling to sell Raheem Sterling now but they are open for talks about a probable transfer too. Because they still haven't been able to extend his contract. And his current contract ends in the summer of 2023. Sterling is 27 years old now and he can be very helpful for his team for many more years. But maybe Sterling is not thinking of staying here because of some problems. Otherwise, he is already a member of one of the most powerful teams currently. Barcelona were interested in him for some time but it looks like they have changed their mind after signing Ferran Torres.

real madrid or man city imo not a good choice for haaland's future, MU is the right one

if Manchester United want to spend big money on the transfer of Haaland then they have got what their current team lacks. a person like haaland is needed by MU to boost the pattern of the MU front line, maybe he will fit in a team with cristiano

I think the best solution for Haaland would be simply to extend his Borussia Dortmund contract. However, if the rumors that its price will be the highest in history are confirmed, it could be a problem not only for Borussia, but for most clubs. Who can afford his price will be known when the clubs sell the cheaper players first and raise the money.

There will be no more significant changes at FC Bayern during this year''s winter transfer window. The only transfer will be Mickaël Cuisance's move to Venezia.

Bayern are relaxed ahead of Monday's deadline day. There will be no incomings and no outgoings either as far as the first team is concerned. Mickaël Cuisance's transfer to Venezia will remain the only deal completed in January [@SkySportNews]

I think FC Bayern's current squad is pretty balanced and new players are not necessary at this point. However, if Niklas Süle and Corentin Tolisso leave the club in the summer, the board must react and sign new players. The defense in particular will then be in need of reinforcement.

there's nothing significant there and I think it's very reasonable because for now they don't really need it because their squad is very balanced on all fronts.
but on the other hand they must also be able to prepare at least one striker for them in the next few seasons because it is possible for now even though his performance is quite good but he is not young anymore and Bayern must prepare candidates for regeneration I think

juventus should bet more on signing more players who score many goals, that would be more productive for them, than to be spending money and then not term players who score many goals. I wonder what they're thinking? will that be that this is a good move?

They already got Vlahovic for scoring many goals.
The problem from the departure of Pogba has always been the midfield and now after the big striker they are improving it before next summer.

For the summer we already got small rumors like an exchange between DeLigt and DeJong and a potential deal with Bremer.

IF DeLigt will not renew his contract the next summer should/must be sold since he will only have 2 more years in his contract.

I wonder how Vlahovic will play in Juventus. He was playing very successful matches in Fiorentina. Dusan Vlahovic can make up for the lack of players to score a goal after Cristiano Ronaldo. Being 22 years old is also an advantage for Juventus. 75 M€ is a big amount of money, of course, but I think it's worth it for Vlahovic.

Vlahovic is a great investment, he is very young and very talented. I hope he can adapt with the other Juventus player's and the strategy so he can help Juventus to fix their goal scoring difficulty after since Ronaldo left them and he may be a popular and be the most wanted central forward in the next few years that make his value increased a lot.

Zakaria is now in Italy.

A perfect investment of a total of 8 m € and a "small" salary.

I think Rodrigo Bentancur is a good buy for the Spurs as they needed some reinforcement in the middle of the park in order to feed Harry Kane and Son who are the main players (IMO) for Spurs.

I didn't expect Spur to make such a brilliant buy; they needed someone to replace Ndoubele, who is likely to be loaned to Lyon for the rest of the season; he was never in Conte's plans; the agreement will benefit all parties.

I'm happy that Donny van de Beek has been sent on a loan as he was hardly played by UNited and his talent was going on waste, so will be great to see him play regularly and another great signing from Liverpool as they buy Luis Díaz to increase their squad depth.

Lampard is a big fan of Donny Beek, so this is a fantastic opportunity for him. He needed game time, and he'll get it at Everton under Lampard. He wasn't treated well at Manchester United. I hope he makes the most of his time at Everton; he is a fantastic player who deserves to succeed.

The situation is strange at Juventus with Aaron Ramsey. Juventus doesn't anticipate him in their first squad, but Ramsey isn't interested in leaving at all. Rumors say that was interested Newcastle United and Crystal Palace, but it looks like he is enjoying the money at Juventus more. The problem is that if he doesn't change club, he probably won't be on the pitch at all for six months.

He has 18 months left and zero dignity at this point.
He refused like 4-5 Premier League clubs like a parasite he wants only the money without any effort.

Somone today said however he can leave before tomorrow, lets's see.

[nurilham]

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.

Juventus signed Vlahovic because Morata is no longer in their plan for the next season. Fundamentally, there is no problem even if Morata leaves Juventus. Moreover, Juventus already signed the other two central forwards (Moise Kean and Kaio Jorge), they simply don't need another central forward. But if Arsenal wants to release Aubameyang with a cheap transfer fee, Juventus probably consider it. So, it depends on Arsenal but I think they don't want to release Aubameyang with a cheap price.

Juventus does need players like Vlahovic, moreover Vlahovic has proven to be productive in Serie A with Fiorentina. So Vlahovic will not take long
to adapt at Juventus, especially when Juventus weaknesses are on the front lines. Since Ronaldo left, Juventus has had a hard time scoring goals,
and the purchase of Vlahovic is the best solution. So buying Vlahovic at an expensive price, Juventus had to do it to make Juventus able to compete
with other big Serie A teams. The problem is how Vlahovic handles the pressure at Juventus, Juventus supporters will have high expectations of Vlahovic.
Hopefully Vlahovic can immediately show his best performance, because Juventus does need a lot of wins to get into the top 4.

Let's hope that Vlahovic will justify the hopes of the Juventus management and fans in scoring a striker, because the club has almost lost Morata and continues the ugly situation with the extension of the contract of Dibala, which may have a bad effect on the attacking potential of the club from Turin. With all the problems that Morata has with the successful completion of attacks, there is still no denying his high level of play and it is not for nothing that Barcelona President Laporta personally went to Madrid to discuss a possible transfer with Atletico. I would also like to say something similar about the Dybala, who is a high-level player capable of deciding the outcomes of matches.

Actually I'm not that surprised Calum Chambers left Arsenal, because Arteta is rarely given the opportunity to play Calum Chambers. Moreover,
Calum Chambers has been at Arsenal since 2014, and until now still can not get a lot of playing time. So Calum Chambers made the right decision
to move to Aston Villa, then this is also a good move for Arsenal by releasing some players who did not make a good contribution.

Yep. It is not surprising if Chambers decided to leave because he has no future in Arsenal. I don't know why Arsenal rarely gives him the chance to play but I think this man isn't a so bad defender. He surely cannot give any contribution if he only sits on the bench, so we cannot blame him. In my opinion, he has already stayed too long in Arsenal, no players feel comfortable with that situation, except if he doesn't care about his career future. Anyway, joining Aston Villa is the right decision, this team looks serious to build their squad. And Chambers has a chance to play regularly there since Aston Villa still has a lack of strong defenders.

I haven't seen him play that much, but by the time 3 different coaches don't consider you as first choice, then either there is a problem with the player or he is bang average.

Sometimes those coaches see more than we do, especially with how the player performs during training or the physical aspects.

Sky Sport News reports FC Bayern wants to give its young defender Bright Arrey-Mbi more playing practice and is loaning him to 1. FC Köln for a year and a half. Before his loan, FC Bayern would like to extend the contract with Bright Arrey-Mbi for several years. According to reports from Sky, 1. FC Köln will not receive an option to buy the 18-year-old defender.

In my opinion a great option for Arrey-Mbi to develop further and show his full potential. If he succeeds at 1. FC Köln, he can become one of the stars of the Bundesliga in a few years. Have him on the note!
