⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Avirunes]

As many clubs has tried signing players of their choice, I can't see any news that Arsenal FC signed any player, I just see the transfer news of their former captain Aubameyang Goin to Barcelona on a loan deal, so I am confused, is it me that didn't see the news or Arsenal did not sign any player.
I show concern because before January, I was hearing that Arsenal are eying so many players but no one show face. I am just an Arsenal fan 🙊 that's why I asked.

As far as I know, they did sign only one player on deadline and most Arsenal fans were furious about how their club released a number of players and signed only one less known player worth only $2 USD. The signed player is from Colorado rapids which is also owned by the boss, so I guess the signed him just for the sake.

Players In:
Date                 Player        Position Age         Club               Transfer/Loan Fee
Jan. 31   Auston Trusty   CB     23   Colorado Rapids    $2 million
                    
                    
Players Out:
Date   Player                 Position   Age   Club                Transfer/Loan Fee
Jan. 8   Ainsley Maitland-Niles   MF   24   AS Roma    Loan through June 2022

Jan. 18   Sead Kolasinac   LB           28   Olympique Marseille   - Free transfer (contract cancelled)
Jan. 20   Pablo Mari           CB           28   Udinese   - Loan through June 2022
Jan. 27   Calum Chambers CB            27   Aston Villa   - Free transfer
Jan. 31   Aubameyang    CF            32   Barcelona   - Free transfer (contract cancelled)

I think they also signed USA National team goalkeeper Matt Turner. Although this will be completed in next window but this is a done deal and great addition to squad as a backup option for goalkeeper position. Rest this window , they majorly focused on offloading players whom they don't need anymore. Possible in next window they might offload some more players like Leno.

Manchester United are lost in a maze right now, and are taking so many turns to get out of the maze. Manchester United is struggling to win matches, since this new coach came in there has never been a comfortable win it is from one struggle to the other. I think the owners are gambling with the club that is why they don’t want to get a better coach. A club as big as Manchester United been struggling for years now and it seem they are comfortable with it. Will Pochettino be the one to rescue them out of the maze

We might be thinking Pochettino is the answer to Man Utd's problems but he might still end up like Ole and Rangnick. The problem might not be with the coaching staff but with the overall team and changing the coaching staff might have little to no effect as we've seen. Pochettino did well at Tottenham despite losing that UCL final to Liverpool but his managerial performance at PSG hasn't been one of the brightest - might be the same case with Man Utd (PSG is a better team than Man Utd btw).

With fewer matches to go in EPL and Arsenal not participating in any European competitions including FA cup might have prompted the club not sign new players in this just concluded transfer window, with the departure of Abumeyang the club is left with Lacazette and Nketia as their only main strikers till the end of this season, some of their players sold are not performing very well the likes of Calum Chamber and Kolasinac, I hope they qualify for European league which would attract quality players to  the club and Iam very sure the club will be busy in the next transfer window with new signings.

Calciomercato says that Manchester United also have joined the race to sign the 22-year-old Juventus defender de Ligt now. Bayern Munich and Barcelona are interested in signing him too. His current value is €65m and he has a contract running until June 2024. In this case, I think that Juventus wouldn't like to sell him easily. Their demand would be a lot of money for sure. And at this point, Barcelona seem to be the most disadvantageous team in this race as their financial condition isn't that bright.

Forget the dreams of Zidane at Manchester United already! By the way, I am not at all sure that even Zidane and Zidane will cope with the current state of affairs. It is precisely Pochettino's style of team management that suits Manchester United, because in this Manchester United is like Tottenham, not Paris Saint-Germain. If Zidane for me is a master who knows how to turn a disparate group of stars with their mutually exclusive ambitions into a single team that will make the result itself, then Pochettino was famous for his ability to put a team game from the available players. Also, unfortunately, Pochettino is not an indisputable authority for the stars of Paris Saint-Germain, which Zidane could become.

Not all successful coaches can achieve good results in a short time, and I think the problem with Manchester United is not giving the coaches enough time. Look at how patient Liverpool was with Klopp. I am afraid with the current trend at United, even the likes of Zidane or Pochettino may just end up getting sacked.

I think this is very inappropriate for the situation. when you say Manchester United didn't give the coach enough time then what happened to Ole? he coached Manchester United for more than 3 seasons and although in the early seasons it was quite good then this season he is even quite hated.
I don't think it's a matter of time, maybe on the one hand time is quite influential but on the other hand when it's been given a long time but still can't show good performance what is it for

Chelsea have offered defender Antonio Rudiger a new contract. According to the source, the "aristocrats" are willing to pay the German defender 200 thousand pounds a week.
Recall that now the athlete is paid 100 thousand. Despite such a generous offer, Rudiger decided to leave the team at the end of this season, when his contract ends.

He must be quite certain that he can sign another and better contract elsewhere, otherwise I assume he wouldn't have turned down the offer, or?

That is 240,000 Euro per week, which is 12.5 million Euros per year. Could be possible that he goes to another English club? Or is Bayern Munich even involved?

There are lot of big teams which are in need of a good solid central defender and I think lot of those teams are keeping an eye on this situation. Reports were that Real Madrid are interested in Rudiger and they can give him a good offer as he seeks. Another English club? Possible but don't think so. Players usually respect the club so no chance of going into big-6. So either it's extension at Chelsea or move to New league in Spain, Germany..

I'm not surprised by his decision truthfully. He has already been on the radar of some big clubs like Real Madrid. As Real Madrid seem to be performing bigger than Chelsea lately, this would be a big factor for Antonio Rudiger to make his decision clearly. Maybe we could see him in his home country too if he gets an offer from Bayern Munich for example. But rather than there, I'd like to see him staying or joining Real Madrid. Because Real Madrid are aiming to build a very solid lineup for the coming season and they are thinking the far future also.

Transfer rumours:

Liverpool will hold new talks with Fulham this month over a deal for 19-year-old winger Fabio Carvalho as they look to strike an agreement well before the summer.
However, AC Milan are hoping to hijack Liverpool's bid to sign Carvalho with the Italian club making contact with Carvalho's representatives. What will Carvalho decide in the end? Italian or English league?
Manchester United are "watching developments closely" as Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger has reportedly rejected the club's latest contract offer, a deal worth around £200K a week. Will Rudiger choose Manchester United in the end?
Real Madrid have pulled out of the race to sign Borussia Dortmund forward Erling Haaland. Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool are still all interested in the 21-year-old Norwegian international. If this news is correct, it is a surprise because Real seemed to want to bring both him and Mbappe together. Does that mean that Haaland is going to England after all?
Manchester United and Liverpool are both keeping tabs on Bayern Munich winger Serge Gnabry amid a contract stand-off between the German club and the 26-year-old, with Barcelona and Real Madrid also interested. Does that mean Gnabry will leave Bayern after all?
Manchester City players believe manager Pep Guardiola will sign a new contract to stay at the club beyond next year. Will they offer him a new contract if he fails to win the Champions League this and next season?

Chelsea need pay him how much he want because looking with Rudiger quality as the best defender on primer league right now, he has success give Primer League and Champion League trophies for The Blues and should extended his contract have over this season. I think Chelsea have not any option with defender after Thiago Siva have over 35 years and Aplicueta have been 32 years old, need to get extended Rudiger contract excatly four or five years later.

Rudiger is a defender who can successfully fight for Chelsea for many years. I like him style.. One of the important generations of the German defense. And if they sign young, promising players like Çağlar Söyüncü or Demiral, Chelsea will not have a defense problem for many years. One of the best options for number 2 is Rudiger.

a growing issue he is willing to be extended if his new contract 250 thousand pounds a week, I think he deserves to be paid that much, I think people also agree with me, he's a pretty complete defender with defensive skills, possession of the ball and being able to score goals which I think is incredible. Chelsea should immediately complete his new contract rather than having to lose it on a free transfer or cut from behind by other club.

Klopp still upset because he unable to get Fulham player Fabio Carvalho in the January and this summer he will make this player as the priority although Liverpool have to compete with other big teams such as Madrid or Chelsea to get him and price tag for Carvalho approximately 11 million euro

Seeing how much interest Liverpool have generated for this player, i can safely say that other clubs will put in their bids which will make it difficult for the lad to join the Reds... But should they remain the only team on the negotiating table then its possible that Klopps wish will come true.

The negotiation was almost deal in this January but some documents can't be completed before deadline which makes Liverpool running out the time this why Klopp was so upset and the question why Klopp really want him because Carvalho deserve as the replacement of Firminho in the future so this player probably will be Liverpool main target for the next transfer window

Not all successful coaches can achieve good results in a short time, and I think the problem with Manchester United is not giving the coaches enough time. Look at how patient Liverpool was with Klopp. I am afraid with the current trend at United, even the likes of Zidane or Pochettino may just end up getting sacked.

I think this is very inappropriate for the situation. when you say Manchester United didn't give the coach enough time then what happened to Ole? he coached Manchester United for more than 3 seasons and although in the early seasons it was quite good then this season he is even quite hated.
I don't think it's a matter of time, maybe on the one hand time is quite influential but on the other hand when it's been given a long time but still can't show good performance what is it for

Not giving enough time? Ole had like 5 years or something at United and with the amount of money he got, dude never became champions. Klopp had around the same level of money and dude managed to turn that club into a premier league winner and a UCL winner (plus a finals on top of that) in the same time period. I am sorry but United is the last team to say they do not give enough time, they had the greatest coach of all time for like 20+ years, dude became Sir after that.

So, I really doubt you could say United didn't give Ole enough time. If you are looking at their current one, that was just temporary anyway, it wasn't really to keep him, they are not giving him a chance from the start, they just wanted to handle the team until the season is over and that's it.

Aubameyang left on a free transfer to Barcelona and not on a loan deal. His contract was supposed to end in the summer of 2023. Barcelona came knocking so Arsenal agreed to mutually terminate his deal.
The problem I have now with this Arsenal side is that they think they can fight with this same squad till the end of the season. Even Manchester city and Liverpool with a bigger squad added some players. Lacazette is not reliable and he is now not delivering like before. Nketiah is not even a striker to me. The European qualification spot is now complicated as there are four teams fighting for that spot. It is obvious that Arsenal won't scale through. And this may affect their next signings, because everyone wants to play in the UCL.

It has been reported that Niklas Sule has chosen his next club. Since his contract is expiring in the summer, that means he won't be extending with Bayern.

Both Chelsea and Barcelona were rumored to be interested and Sule looks like a really good signing. He is a starter for Bayern and is entering his prime football years - a good option to bring to any club, especially if there is no transfer fee attached.

So far, what I see now is that there are many teams in the EPL who want the services of this 26-year-old player. Barcelona will certainly take a place because Xavi completely overhauled the current Barcelona squad but there are indeed a number of big clubs who also want to get Sule's services at this time in the EPL, it is recorded that Chelsea, MU, Tottenham and the current rich club, Newcastle, want him.
I feel that compared to Barcelona he will prefer the EPL at this time because apart from being financially competitive, the 4 EPL teams that are eyeing Sule are also better and I think Sule will definitely consider that.

It has been reported that Niklas Sule has chosen his next club. Since his contract is expiring in the summer, that means he won't be extending with Bayern.

Yep, Niklas Süles decision that he wants to leave Bayern in the summer is final. His agent announced the following today:

Süle's agent Volker Struth: "We never negotiated (with Bayern). There was only a verbal approach.  We met, spoke about it and I signaled at the time that the player was considering whether he wants to extend his contract. It wasn't about the money at all".

"A conversation was planned in January. Niklas spent Christmas with his family, called me between at the time and said: 'I don't want that anymore. I don't want this appointment to take place"

"It has nothing to do with money at all. I spoke to Hasan Salihamidžić about a possible renewal, that was in late autumn last year - six or seven months before the end of his contract. By then Süle had already decided & told me: 'I want to do something different'

Source: https://twitter.com/iMiaSanMia/status/1490286776367337479

Bayern offered Süle only about €10 million/year for a contract extension, but Süle demanded more.

Bayern offered Süle a fixed salary of under €10m/year, less than what they are offering for Christensen. Süle was very disappointed. In addition the people in charge took a lot of time to make the offer & it was just a 'verbal' offer. All factors that made Süle leave [@cfbayern]

Source: https://twitter.com/iMiaSanMia/status/1490275861056352257

Even if it is now said that the player did not feel valued by the club, the extension failed because of the player's salary. Still, I think it's right that Bayern offered a rather low salary in this case. Süle has disappointed time and again in recent years and has often been injured. I am glad that he is leaving the club and that new hungry players can be signed as replacements.

Sport reports that the management of Barcelona wants to extend the contract with their 17-year-old midfielder Gavi. True, the young player does not like the conditions offered by the club and he is considering the option of leaving the club. Gavi is willing to stay if the Blue Garnets offer a better contract, but Barcelona can't afford him yet due to financial difficulties. As part of the current season, the midfielder took part in 25 confrontations, scored 1 goal and made 3 assists.

You might be right. Not sure if he is the kind player Guardiola would be looking for? One thing is for sure, there are English clubs that are able to pay him more than the salary Chelsea offered him. In Germany there is probably only Bayern and Dortmund, so you might be right and Spain could be his next destination.
