⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[diderdrogba]

It feels good for me to see that Barcelona are interested in signing Robert Lewandowski in this summer. If this transfer happens, then the team will reach a much higher level in terms of attacking. We never know how he can play at Barcelona already now of course. He hasn't played in a different league in the end. But he has played at two different teams at least, Dortmund and Bayern Munich. And he has been just perfect at both teams too. I believe that he is a world-class striker and he can play like now at nearly every big team now.

Indeed this would be very good for Barcelona but the question is does Lewandowski want to reduce his salary there?
Besides that, do Barcelona have enough money now by signing him? I think this needs to be reviewed first because when they succeed in signing Lewa they will dig the same grave again for the second time financially.

I assume that Lewandowski wouldn't cost them very much. They have signed some sponsorship deals already and it might help them raise funds more. But if they sign him this summer, then they might not be able to go for another big transfer also. They are still not in a very solid shape in terms of finance. But the best thing to do for them to spend their money on a top striker now. This would be enough for them to reach a much higher level in next season.

Manchester United have reportedly made a bid of £67million for Benfica star Darwin Nunez. The Red Devils will need a new centre-forward this summer amid uncertainty over the futures of Cristiano Ronaldo, Marcus Rashford, Mason Greenwood, Edinson Cavani and Anthony Martial. But whether they’re successful in landing one of Europe’s hottest prospects remains to be seen.

Looking at how big the Manchester squad is, spells out huge wage bill which hasn't yielded good results! It's time Utd offloaded the extra players to give room for new replacements.

i just can't understand, cristiano ronaldo is not young anymore and as i remember he went to manchester united because he wants to be his last club to retire, he already knew manchester united is a bad team, he could have gone elsewhere better clubs so i don't understand why he would want to leave manchester united now? it doesn't make sense to me. cristiano ronaldo hja won everything any player wants, he doesn't need trophies anymore, he needs to play to have fun and contribute to the team. I share that he leaves Manchester United. but there are players in manchester united who are leaving because they are not bringing results that benefit the club

I so much agree with your view. C.Ronaldo has won everything a player need to win and age is no longer his friend. I don't think he needs to leave the club again. What he needs do is to stay and build the club together. He is a great player and a motivator, he should stay and make the sacrifices for his club.
Even if it means that he should take a pay cut to accommodate more people, he should do so and the club and the fans will be very happy with him. He honestly doesn't need to eave Manchester United at this time.

Manchester City believe manager Pep Guardiola will sign a new deal in the summer, with talks having taken place about extending the Spaniard's stay until 2025. Great news for the club and all Manchester City fans. What follows is the continuation of a magnificent duel between Klopp and Pep  

I also have the feeling that Pep will extend his contract with City, and not just cause Klopp extended with Liverpool, but because of the amazing work he is doing at the Etihad, with the amount of trophies he has won at City and the kind of football they are playing, he will know there is prolly no better place to be right now than with City, and i do hope he wins the CL this season to silence all the doubters.

Manchester United and Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo could return to Real Madrid. The Spanish giants are keen on signing the 37-year-old, who played for Real from 2009 to 2018.

Is this even possible, AFAIK and can remember, i think he left Real under some pretty bad circumstances and i don't think either party has been in eachothers good books since then, Ronaldo will leave United, but i don't think it is to Real.

[Turbolinea]

I'm not so sure about Pep Guardiola to sign a new deal with Manchester City this summer. Because I remember that he said that he would be likely to leave the team in the near future. But maybe he has changed his mind and will decide to stay for a longer time. And his decision might depend on how successful they will be in the Champions League this season. If they manage to win the title, then he would achieve his biggest goal with this team and the probability of leaving the team would be bigger I think.

Pep migh have said of leaving Manchester City in the near future but I can assure you that it will not happen next season and neither will it happen the upper one. Infact he must have changed his mind towards leaving the club.
Also Jurgen Klopp will not leave Liverpool easily. It is not easy to be a coach of a club and the club is doing well and relationship with the players perfect. Any coach that has the match will not dream of leaving the club.
If you observe well many coaches that leave a club is because of poor performance of the coach or the club. Manchester City is doing well and Guadiola will bit be leaving any soon.

He's not going to stay any longer than his contract allows. I believe this was supposed to be his final season (I could be wrong), and he stated unequivocally that he will not be renewing; he enjoys challenges and may seek one elsewhere.

~snip~

He was even booed in his final season at Real Madrid, and the fans would not want him back, as they are now building the team around Benzima. He could go to his boyhood club Sporting.

Manchester United and Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo could return to Real Madrid. The Spanish giants are keen on signing the 37-year-old, who played for Real from 2009 to 2018. Is it really realistic for Ronaldo to return to Real and do they really need him given Benzema’s fantastic games lately?
Erik ten Hag, who will leave Ajax to take over as Manchester United manager at the end of the season, wants to sign Feyenoord and Netherlands left-back Tyrell Malacia, 22, for the Old Trafford club. Erik ten Hague started very ambitious and is already working on a big change in the club. Will he finally manage to bring this club back to the top?
Chelsea are concerned England midfielder Mason Mount will leave the club. Under current government sanctions, the Blues cannot offer the 23-year-old a new contract, with Manchester City and Liverpool thought to be interested in him. It seems that these current government sanctions will destroy this club and weaken it for next season.
Borussia Dortmund chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke says the club beat Manchester United to the signing of Erling Haaland in December 2019 because they were prepared to put a release clause into the 21-year-old Norway international's contract. When will all this saga around Haaland finally end?

I think whether the Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is going to sign a new deal or not will depend a lot on Manchester City winning the Champions League. I know it might sound not relatable too much but I just have a feeling that this might happen.

I don't know if Cristiano Ronaldo should move to Real Madrid again but I am sure that he really needs to move away from manchester united because that is not going to get him anywhere in his career.  and to be honest it will be really legendary to watch  Real Madrid get him back.

I am sure that the new manager of Manchester United is surely going to make big changes in the squad otherwise things really don't look so good for Manchester United.

It doesn't matter if a particular player gave a result or not. If you buy star players in packs, then both outcomes are inevitable. Barcelona were doing just that and it hit their budget. All clubs have been affected by the covid, but the ones that have been spending more recklessly have been hit the hardest (and that turned out to be Barcelona). This is a common occurrence in crises - it has a stronger effect on those who are initially weak.

Yes reckless spending...^^ Players which were bought and not used. There were many clubs who made some hell of big transfer but at least there was cash flow or some kind of support I guess. And once again it goes to the poor management back then. Anyway it's a gone case now, Barcelona are slowly trying to build up which is important. I am sure  no one would have loved to see downfall of one of the Spanish giant clubs.

I would be happy if the Super League started - it would get Barcelona fully back into business (and possibly allow Barcelona to make some more crazy spending  ) but unfortunately there are no breakthroughs in this direction yet.
As for the restoration of Barcelona, I am sure that with Xavi it will not happen, he is pulling the team back. Times have changed and new strategies are needed.

I think Ronaldo will go to PSG or MLS no way he will go back to Real for his salary especially if they take Mbappè too...

Skysport already reported that there is an agreement in principle for Pep Guardiola to extend his deal with Manchester City, and i do not have doubts. Why? After sanctioning the purchase of talisman Haaland; it would be shocking to see Pep leaving after planning for next season. With the search for a left back and Fernandiho in the books. Manchester city is better off extending Peps contract

The uncertainty of Ronaldo future at Manchester United has indeed sparked a lot of current speculation, besides that the a number of current players may not be included in the plans for next season ten hag and forced Manchester United to look for some players in the transfer market later, but to be honest I Never thought that Manchester United would target Darwin Nunez for them to buy, because so far it is reported for the striker position next season Manchester United prioritizes Sebastian Haller for them to buy from Ajax.

Manchester United faithfuls will hope Ronaldo stays at the club. The fear is the possibility that he would get over used and burn out. His  experience and quality for another year will be great for Manchester United. But I think Christiano Ronaldo will likely leave because he doesn't want to play Conference League football. Manchester United have nothing to offer Ronaldo, it will be unwise for him to spend his last years of his career in a club with no hope of winning titles.

I assume that Lewandowski wouldn't cost them very much. They have signed some sponsorship deals already and it might help them raise funds more. But if they sign him this summer, then they might not be able to go for another big transfer also. They are still not in a very solid shape in terms of finance. But the best thing to do for them to spend their money on a top striker now. This would be enough for them to reach a much higher level in next season.

The news about Lewandowski will move to Barca as has been denied, because the Barca director himself said "they have never personally met a player who is under contract with another club". Barca must be able to find another great striker because Bayern will not let Lewandowski off so easily.

It feels good for me to see that Barcelona are interested in signing Robert Lewandowski in this summer. If this transfer happens, then the team will reach a much higher level in terms of attacking. We never know how he can play at Barcelona already now of course. He hasn't played in a different league in the end. But he has played at two different teams at least, Dortmund and Bayern Munich.

I am sure Barcelona have enough money for this striker, the only question is robert's decision, if he does not want to have a lower salary, he plays great in Germany, he scores many goals, and they pay more, the conditions in Bavaria are much better on the one hand. I do not understand why exactly Barcelona and why the team itself would be interested in the player...

I'm too...
And Robert Lewandowski seems to have been quite annoyed by the conversation between Bayern Munich's board of directors and Erling Haaland's staff, which is why he wants to leave the club of his own volition. to close a contract with Barcelona at the end of the 2021 season for 2022.

But Barcelona understand that they still have a lot of time to negotiate a signing with the player, so I don't believe that this transfer will happen anytime soon, I believe.
Although coach Xavi is very interested in this signing, as he is in dire need of a top scorer so that the team can compete with the big teams in Europe.

Anyway, I don't think it's time yet.

With all his extraordinary talent and skill, Cristiano Ronaldo has an equally extraordinary thirst for new titles and conquering new heights. It is thanks to this that he has achieved all that he has become famous for and how he differs from other football players. That's why I wouldn't be surprised if Ronaldo decides to change clubs at the end of this season and leaves Manchester United. For example, according to the latest rumors, Real Madrid is not averse to returning a football player to its squad, however, there are many nuances that can interfere with this transfer and the epic with Mbappe is not the last place here. Also, interest in any football player does not imply mandatory real steps.

[Velvet78]

Maybe Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't need any trophies in our opinions. But I don't think that he is sharing the same opinion now. Ronaldo is always a tenacious player and he would like to continue to play for a team that are competing in the Champions League. If Manchester United can't qualify for it, then he might be likely to leave in the summer for example. Unless he decides to chill at a completely different team, he would continue to play for that kind of teams.

I don't understand why there would be a departure from Manchester City for Pep. If he has no other dreams, he is currently working in a team that is ahead in the championship race in the best league in the world, allocating the transfer budgets he wants to himself. Exactly what team would he want to coach if he left Manchester City? In Spain, Xavi would rally Barcelona very well. I don't think they want to change coaches.

To me I don't think there is any need of him leaving the team, he is a good coach, and he is coaching one of the best team in Europe. A determine team like Manchester city gives you joy as a manager, and also his impact on the team is spectacular, since his arrival the team they have been performing greatly. Looking at their performance this season, there performance this season is really outstanding, they are a determined team, when it comes to game play, and also they are topping their league table, and also contesting for champions league. So I think pep Guadiola really needs to stay, Manchester city is one of the best club he has ever coach in his entire history, and with their level of consistency this season I think they might achieve their goal.

Even though he went nowhere, he should enjoy his stay at Manchester United. Redeem himself by staying and fixing his mistakes. I am certain he will never be accepted back by Real Madrid or Juventus. Real Madrid is already crowded with great players. A healthy negotiation may be able to resolve the problem, but it is possible that Man United will sell him. Perhaps he will move to sports or retire. He is neither a young face nor a young talent anymore. Seeing as how he has already made history, I think if he truly wants to leave, he should go back to SPORTING since that is where it all began.

How did you analyse this without mentioning the most important problem of Manchester United?
You said their most problem is defense and striker. Hmmm!
If I were to be Manchester United coach today, my first signing will be a defensive midfielder. This has been the major problem of Manchester United after Micheal Carrick retired. Defence is week because midfield doesn't exist.
Just imagine that you have midfielders like Ndidi and Kante in Manchester United squad, the defenders will perform brilliantly well. Manchester United major problem is defensiveness midfielder.

It is not too difficult to analyse it. I have watched Manchester United's many matches this season. And I have observed that they were giving a big space in their defense line to most of their opponents in the league. They won't only need to replace Maguire with a better defender. They will need to focus on improving their defending style also. It mustn't be too hard to see where they are making a mistake defensively. When it comes to your opinion, it would be better to add a solid defensive midfielder into the team also. Fred is playing there now but he hasn't been the best either.

Actually whenever I see Manchester United play and every single time when their opponent is even close to Harry Maguire I instantly know that I am in for a show. 

To be honest I almost forget what is happening in that match because I know what is going to happen next will be really legendary. you can even go back and watch some old clips of Manchester United this season and you will know what I am talking about. Manchester United really need to make some changes in the defense and also I agree that they really need to change their defensive style.
