⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Roidz]

Paulo Dybala's agent is reportedly in London to listen to offers from clubs such as Manchester United and Arsenal.

The 28-year-old will leave Turin this summer when his contract with Juventus expires, and both Premier League giants have been linked with his signature along with Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur. Dybala is represented by Jorge Antun, who will hold talks with multiple clubs over the course of the next few weeks as his client searches for a new club. The news comes just a day after new United manager Erik ten Hag held a meeting in Amsterdam to discuss the club's transfer strategy.

If there is a manager at United that will be spoiled for choice, it has to be Erik ten Hag (ETH) because United are desperate to score some silverware at any given chance, and with several players becoming free agents it will come down to putting Utds negotiating skills to the test to get the good guys and seeing Arsenal and Newcastle to be the competition to these signins...I don't think Dybala will be a difficult target. Let's go ETH, bring happiness and love for the club back at United .

Dybala is currently rumored to be leaving Juventus, but in my opinion maybe Intermilan has a greater chance of getting him next season, especially if Intermilan and Dybala have met personally for the possibility of Dybala moving to Inter, indeed Dybala has also been linked with Manchester and Arsenal, but it looks like Arsenal are closer to getting Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City, while Manchester United are currently targeting to recruit Sebastien Haller by using Ten Hag connections as Manchester new coach.

There are many teams after Paulo Dybala now really. Arsenal have been speculated with him too much lately actually but there are some other candidates in the same league as you indicated too. Newcastle are the team that don't have any problem with money now. But Dybala might not want to choose them as they don't seem to have a promising squad for now. Arsenal and Manchester United would compete for him mostly I think.

Not sure if this info was posted itt before.  But just dropping by for a little tidbit.  And I didn't know this until a friend told me about it...  So Erling Haaland's dad is Alfie Haaland who used to be a Man City player himself and he was also the captain.  Besides the money, it could be one of the reasons why he chose to sign with City over the bigger clubs like Real Madrid.  So yeah, with that deal finished, next deal to be made is extending Pep's contract by at least a couple of years.

Real Madrid are "more confident than ever" they can set out a deal to secure France and Paris St-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe, but the 23-year-old has yet to decide where his future lies. Real have been saying for a long time that Mbappe is coming to Madrid, but for now there is no final confirmation. Can a big change and surprise happen here?
Barcelona are not interested in Antoine Griezmann, 31, returning to the club if Atletico Madrid decide not to keep the France forward who is on loan from Barca. Meanwhile, Barca's number one target is Bayern Munich and Poland striker Robert Lewandowski, 33. Interesting news. Does Barcelona have a plan B if they fail to bring in Lewandowski?
However, Bayern Munich president Herbert Hainer says Lewandowski has a contract with the Bundesliga champions until June 2023 - and the 33-year-old "will fulfil it".  So what will happen here in the end? 
Chelsea have reached an initial agreement to sign Croatia winger Ivan Perisic, 33, on a free transfer from Inter Milan. If this is true news, it seems to me that Inter gave up on Perišić too easily.
Barcelona and Netherlands midfielder Frenkie de Jong, 25, looks set to reject a move to Manchester United, while incoming boss Erik ten Hag intends to get tough on those players who want to leave Old Trafford this summer. Which Frenkie de Jong will ultimately decide?
Chelsea and Belgium striker Romelu Lukaku, 29, says he will "never let someone speak for me" after his agent Federico Pastorello made comments to an Italian newspaper about a possible move back to Italy. So Lukaku is angry and will change the agent. Will he change the club as well?

Mbappe Is still probably not sure where he is going to play in the future because this rumor has gone on for a long time and this really needs to come to an end. 
I think the best move will be to move to Real Madrid for the player.

Barcelona surely seems to be interested in Robert Lewandowski and Robert Lewandowski also seems to agree to move to Barcelona. I do believe that he is going to be really good for  Barcelona. and this should give the Barcelona squad a lot more stability, especially in the attack.

De jong is being targeted by the Manchester United manager but I don't think this will be a great option for the player because that team is not doing really good right now and there are better options for the player.

Yes definitely.. I still recall him from that dirty derby tackle from Keane on Alfie Haaland. Definitely could be a factor given the fact that his dad played from that club once. There were lot rumours of Haaland going to United which I knew that weren't true right away. I would say he needed a big club to groom himself and he thinks City is the best for him.

Pep would like to stay but seems like he is not that pumped up as he was once at the beginning. Kinda feels like giving up on the fight but still he did indicate that he would love to be in the club for more but will think later.

Pogba is closer to Juventus than ever.

^^ It's funny how his career has been swinging at United and Juventus so far. Kinda feels similar to career of Lukaku till now. Well anyway wherever he goes , I hope he finds his form again and try to play best football in whatever left is of his career. Also I think I have hear rumours about PSG also interested in Pogba. What do you think? @coinlocket$

I don't think that Kylian Mbappe will change his mind suddenly. He has wanted this to happen for so many years as he has already stated that it has been a dream for him to play for Real Madrid. It doesn't make sense if he decides to stay at PSG at this point. This is his biggest opportunity in the end. And I also believe that it would be better for his career to join Real Madrid now. I believe he will be more successful there.

Robert Lewandowski is set to leave Bayern Munich this summer, with reports claiming that the superstar striker has agreed a three-year deal to join Barcelona.

His current contract with the Bundesliga champions runs until 2023, but he has made it clear that he has no plans to pen an extension and wants to walk away.
Sources in Germany, according to The Times, have said that Lewandowski's representatives have reached a verbal agreement for him to move to the Nou Camp.Playing in Spain is said to 'appeal' to the veteran, and Barcelona, in their hunt for a new elite frontman this summer, are understood to have made him a prime target.

Now this is turning out to be too speculative to believe, Lewandowski going to Barca this ain't happening  after all those missed opportunities of the Ballon Dor at the hands of ex barca player,no no no this ain't happening!

Lewandowski moving out of Bayern was speculated and rumoured months ago and I think that this should happen at some point. Bayern needs to get another good striker whether this year or the year after, so better to do it as soon as possible.. For Lewandowski, he is old and fit enough to play a year or two in another league and try to show if he is able to continue shining and why not get the Ballon d'Or.

For Mbappe himself, his career at PSG is not growing so fast. I agree if he goes to Madrid and makes his ending much better. PSG is too narrow for him at the moment. But there has been no official offer that makes Mbappe go to Madrid. If next season he is at PSG, I think he will have a lot of big obstacles to stand out. It is a pity that his potential and his young age, flight hours and experience must be prioritized.

Its true.
Both of them are on the player.

Next week there will be a meeting between Pogba and Juventus.

There we will know if he will be back in Italy or he will go in France.

Pogba is still a great footballer, I'm sure there are many football clubs that would still like to add him to their roster as a player. Zidane always wanted Pogba, but that fell through at the last minute. That already shows how good he is. He is currently not playing at United. Well, it's a shame, at Ten Hag he would be able to render optimally at Ten Hag if Frenkie de Jong would play next to him. Pogba has always been incredibly talented.

If truly Barcelona wanted to sign Lewandoski then it's absolutely unnecessary at this point in time when they are rebuilding, I also agreed that their defence needed some new signings they have some old defenders that needed replacement, Pique, Umititi and Davi Alves had reached their prime or peak thus should be replaced, while their midfield and forward is okay Abumeyang, Torres, Traore, Depay e.t.c has experience on their side, Xavi should channel his efforts toward building a formidable Barcelona that will challenge Real Madrid for Laliga and European competitions.

Lewandowski is an old player already, I do not think it will be wise for Barcelona to buy him but to get him for free is good enough. It will be better if Barcelona try to find younger striker who can play for longer time than Lewandowski. We have no doubt about how great Lewandowski is, but age does a matter in soccer or in any sport. I'm not following Barcelona much so I dont really understand what is needed to be improved in their squad but I believe Xavi know how to rebuild his team effectively.

I think Barcelona should just forget about these signing Leowandowski, he’s a great player but he has passed their peak. Barcelona should focus on building with younger players if they are to catch up with Real Madrid anytime soon. I know that it would take at least three years for them to be competitive as they once were with Lionel Messi, Iniesta and Xavi.

[Avirunes]

The meeting for Pogba with Juventus will be Monday.

Feels like should be much more comfortable at Juventus given how he played there so won't take time adjusting in and also Juventus doesn't have dense squad like PSG has so he will find good amount of playing minutes which is essential to finding his form back again. PSG is also a good option given its a French club but still Pogba has switched to so many leagues and adjusted well out there so going back to Italy should come after getting into real picture or playing minutes.

[SatoPrincess]

Still on Gabriel Jesus transfer to Arsenal,reports says that Gabriel Jesus have agreed personal terms with Arsenal,with a proposal of a five year deal from Arsenal on the table.It is aso reported that Mancity are demanding atleast 50 million to 60 million pounds for the Brazilian,but Arsenal have initially submitted 40 million.It is yet to be seen whether Mancity will accept it or not,but I guess it will be dependant on Arsenal qualifying for champions league or not.

I have to say, that the price range of 40 to 50 Million pounds seems surprisingly appropriate and reasonable to me. Especially for transfers between two clubs of the English premier League. I mean i am used to clubs paying 50 or 60 Million for absolutely average players that are actually not worth more than 20 Million because the Premier League clubs just have the money to pay that because of their extremely high income from the TV stations. For example Grealish is never worth 100 Million pounds but ManCity paid it anyway. Gabriel Jesus showed some very good performances in the last few game and also in the Champions League and i think that around 50 Million pounds would be a fair price for him for the standards of today.

40 - 50 million pounds seems to be the bench price for pretty good players in the league but I have heard people saying £42million is a lot for a player in the final year of his contract. However, I think players like Gabriel Jesus are worth more than £50 million to be honest.

[Velvet78]

For the Gabriel Jesus transfer, Arsenal really seem to be the closest candidate team to sign him. I wonder whether they will sign only one striker this summer. Because they have been after Paulo Dybala for some time too and maybe they will go for both of them. But I think that their priority should be to strengthen another position after signing one striker. Arsenal are technically the closest team to the Champions League as they are still ahead of Tottenham. They should build a solid squad if they go there.

Lewandowski can be a huge help to the team. What difference does it make when to take a new player? I think it is very important for them to get back on the high side next season, not to coach rookies to be second in the Spanish league for another season. The newcomers will be ready for action in a couple of seasons, they are better to develop in the teams they play in now and then buy them.

[Unknown01]

There are some rumors and speculations, but Haaland is already set to move to City. Whether he can show the desired striker quality? I fear that Haaland will go down at City and it was a mistake to get him.

And somehow I can't understand how Barcelona want to get Lewandowski, they should better focus on reducing the debt instead of buying or getting expensive players

But a new league , a new club like PSG might be more challenging for him.

playing in a team that no competition at his position are not good though , pogba at juventus might seems the right one , bbut in my opinion he should looking for something new like psg or even manchester city who have an ambbitious mission to bring champions league trophy to etihad. pogbba should accept that challenge especially with a skyhigh wage, he won't resist.
