⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Igebotz]

~snip~

Real Madrid follows FFF rules? When they're busy handing out huge salaries to every free agent? Have you looked into the wages they're offering Rudiger? More than double his current salary at Chelsea. Mpabbe wants to be a legend, and Real Madrid should respect that. Not all dreams come true; some are nightmares in the making.

And Mbappe has undoubtedly lost his reputation (if he had one) - how else to explain these streams of hatred towards him (which come not only from Spain) and the streams of apologies that he makes right and left?  

Only Real Madrid fans despises him at the moment; he gained the support of other European leagues because no one wanted to see him at Real Madrid, where they have been ruining the beautiful game with money. Real Madrid should accept that he is not interested in them and move on.

This is one of the technical points that will not necessarily be implemented. You look at the details and not the overall concept. Business will always manage things better than the bastard officials. European football is a never ending example of this.

Super league is not happening as long as Perez is the man behind it. Never!!!

It's not an easy thing to restore United's glory like the Fergie era, many great coaches have tried so far, moyes, van gaal, solkaejer and even mourinho has certainly failed to repeat what fergie had done so far, I think some of the coaches mentioned above are a coach who has a lot of experience and has won trophies during their coaching career compared to Ten Hag who I think is only a local coach, even though he managed to bring ajax to develop quite well in the eradivisie league, to be honest, managing United is not an easy thing to do, So United fans don't expect too much if they don't want to experience a bigger disappointment later.

The biggest issue will no doubt be that if as expected the new manager gives the squad a huge overhaul, and brings in a lot of big name players for big money, then the board and the fans will want to see an immediate improvement in results. But of course if you are completely overhauling a team, it takes time for the new players to bed in, it takes time for everyone to gel together and start playing as a team instead of a bunch of individuals... and results can suffer until this happens. The biggest failure in modern football, particularly at the top level, is that managers are not given enough time for their changes to take effect. Clubs never seem to learn.

Honestly, it is hard for any manager when he has a team full of superstars and still the team is not performing. A lot of questions are generally asked in certain situations and often there is not much answer to those questions. a Coach needs to be someone who will have authority over the players. And a coach is also someone who should be able to encourage the players to give their 100% on the field. A coach is a teacher and also a friend, I hope this coach will be given enough time by Manchester United and also will be able to show some improvement with Manchester United.

Erik Ten Hag first assignment is to overhaul and rebuild Man Utd of course there shouldn't be too much expectation from him next season, lot of players will leave and new signings will be made loaned players will return to the club and their begin the rebuilding process, the team had to blend together for some time thereafter the will become a force to reckon with in EPL, the board and management of Man Utd had reiterated their commitment towards ensuring the success of Erik Ten Hag, I hope the new manager replicate attacking football style of Ajax into Man Utd.

Erik Ten Hag is a good coach but we should not expect much from him just yet.. giving that he is coming from a Dutch league with less competition compared to that of the premier League..but I know he will lead a major rebuild in this United team.. I expect him to offload the players he doesn't need.. keep David De gea , man united defense is a total joke..there is need to start from the defense cos a team with man united history isn't be conceding the number of goals they conceded this season.. comparing Man city's 73 goal haul to man United's 0 goal difference is something of a laughter...the midfield needs major rebuild..bring in hungry midfielders and ofcos the attacking options too...CR7 retains his place...give Erik Ten Hag two or three seasons .. Liverpool did the same in 2015 and now they are a dominant team in Europe..

Being the coach of a big club is not easy for any coach, there are always big demands to be achieved. When they fail to present a trophy, the coach will be in the public spotlight and labeled as the culprit of the club's failure. Many coaches have been sacked due to failing to meet the expectations of the club, as was the case with Zidane at Real Madrid, despite having presented several prestigious trophies for Real Madrid, Zidane was still sacked from Real Madrid.

It will be so funny if PSG hijacks the Tchouameni deal from Real as well. Last week it was between Real and Liverpool and Tchouameni chose Madrid but PSG entered the race late on and now look like favorites due to Mbappe extending and them creating more of a 'french' project there.

Real were top dogs for so long, this must be quite a shock for them. Maybe now they'll understand how other clubs often felt.

It is actually going to be sad for Real Madrid because they had some very big plans with the players that they were going to get. But now I believe they could not get even one of them. It will be really interesting to see what happens to the Real Madrid squad in the next season because so far nothing has happened that we expected. And I also think that it doesn't look like these moves going to get their way as well.

[Pulsar77]

Like it happened to many people, I was also astonished to see Mbappe deciding to stay at PSG for three more years. I started to become very confident about him to decide to join Real Madrid this summer. But it looks like PSG offered incredible amount of money to him to change his mind. There are rumours like he is going to earn around 100 million euros per year which doesn't sound very realistic to me. Because there is no player who gets even the half of that amount as yearly salary. But we will find out in the coming days.

Yep, we are surprised with Mbappe's decision to stay, and prefer earning a lot of money to trying to get a better career in Real Madrid. I am starting to doubt if Mbappe really cares about his future, he seems not interested to win the UCL trophy and other international trophies, and what he wants is all about money. I know PSG offers a fantastic salary and bonus, but money shouldn't be everything for a superstar like him. Mbappe should prioritize his career over money, and Real Madrid isn't a poor club that he must avoid joining, he will get a lot of money as well in Real Madrid. However, it is his decision, he is the right to stay or move!

Mbappe chose the money instead of having a better career. I don't mean that his career is bad now of course. Maybe PSG haven't been amazing in the Champions League so far but Mbappe has still been showing a wonderful performance. He is the most important player for his team now undoubtedly. So it isn't too difficult to understand the reason why PSG were ready to pour an incredibly high amount of money to extend his contract. But I believe he can have a better career if he joins Real Madrid later. Real Madrid are a winner team while PSG aren't. I don't mean the domestic leagues of course.  

[Avirunes]

some new deals were officially announced today for the new season in the premier league...
aston villa have confirmed the signing of fc sevilla central defender Diego Carlos and leeds united have completed the signing of red bull salzburg and american midfielder Brenden Aaronson

Diego Carlos to Aston Villa is a very good transfer as Aston Villa have been a good team last season but it was poor defending at times which has costed them the match. Take the last game of the season for example where they had good control over City but poor marking and blocking they gave it away in just 5 mins. Carlos should be a good addition and I think will likely take Konsa's position.

Still not sure about Aaronson to Leeds but sure strengthens the squad but I think they need some good additions into their defence. Meslier is a great goalkeeper but he can't keep his nets safe until he gets some help from defenders which is most of the times missing.

Nobody knows Mbappe fate, but usually when a footballer is after money over quality, the story doesn't go far. What's so special about Mbappe in the eyes of PSG? Or is it just PSG's ambition that wants their club to be filled with stars? They failed to even reach the Champions League final. Even when Messi was at Barcelona, we never heard that a player's position could exceed the club itself. Ronaldo when he was at Real Madrid could not exceed the position of the club. Now we see Mbappe who is still young, the quality and achievements he gets are still below Messi and Ronaldo, even as if he is the world's number one player in the eyes of PSG. it's ridiculous

[BitcoinAccepted]

I can't imagine Messi being happy at PSG right now. Still tending to think it was just a matter of money. His real love is Barcelona, then it must be possible through a construction to go back there one day. I think he is welcome at all clubs except Real Madrid. Surely that would be war if he went there, we saw that in the past with Figo, among others. Mbappe would like to continue playing with Messi and vice versa.

Yes, I also believe that people who understand football are not going to expect too much from Manchester United in the next season but I am not sure about the Manchester United fans. They are surely going to want a better result. I think their first target should be finishing the season in the top 4 at least.

Actually, it might be very hard considering the fact that a lot of changes will be made in the squad and the manager will also need some time to settle with the new players that will be coming. I don't have too much expectation but I think they should be able to finish in the top four and do well in the Europa League.

It seems like Arsenal are after two strikers to sign now. These are Victor Osimhen and Gabriel Jesus. They seem to be very determined about signing one of these youngsters. And I believe that both of them can be very beneficial for the team. Osimhen has already had a great season at Napoli and impressed many people. Gabriel Jesus also benefited from his chances at Manchester City very well in general. He has already proven his quality I think and he would be one of the most useful players for Arsenal too. I hope that they can sign one of them successfully and get well-prepared for next season.

https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/arsenal-eye-osimhen-transfer-continue-gabriel-jesus-talks/bltf6c599819c55c8d9

Although arsenal need a good striker but I doubt if they want to spend a lot of money to bring in gabriel jesus or osimhen, so far we know that arsenal is a club that is known to be stingy in buying players and they even tend to think more about money than team achievements, gabriel jesus and osimhen have a pretty fantastic value according to transfermark and even napoli wouldn't sell the osimhen if it was under 70 million euros and manchester city would only consider an incoming offer of 55 million pounds for the club that wants to buy gabriel jesus.

Arsenal are not big spenders on signing players and the best they would go for is about £55 million which will not be enough to land a deal for neither Gabriel Jesus nor Victor Osimhen. Victor Osimhen will be costing a lot of money, Osimhen is a good player but he doesn't have a massive output of goals or assists.

Manchester United are believed to be progressing on a few deals but none have been made public yet. There may be a complete overhaul of the team, we can’t be certain since the market has been quiet. Hopefully, with many players leaving this summer, Erik Ten Hag will be bringing in fresh faces to give the team a new lift next season.

[CryptoPanda]

According to reports,Arsenal are very close to completing a deal for Youri Tielemans of Leicester who is to be free by next season.The player has a 25 million release clause,and it is seen that Arsenal have identified him as the ideal player suitable for their project at the club,because of his versatility in the midfield. Leicester will be looking forward to life without the Belgian player who wears number 8 Jessy at the club.If he comes to Arsenal,it is possible to still retain that same number in the squad.He is really going to be a good addition.

I really don’t understand how the board at Leicester City FC run their operations though because it's quite unreasonable to why they would want to sell Youri Tielemans to Arsenal if they have ambition of being around the European spots at the end of next season. They better think twice about selling players to rival clubs.

No matter which club gets Mane, they will not only get a top player, also a good person. He donates a lot of money to Africa and tries to give many people there a better life. I would like he win the Champions League, but i think Real Madrid will do it. After the final he wants to decide and a new club would also make sense for him. The FC Bayern should be it, but i do not think he comes to Germany. The salary is not as good as in England and Bayern will not pay 80 million euros for him, never.

Sadio Mane is one of the most important player in the Liverpool squad, I also think he is the most underrated. If anyone will pull the strings against Real Madrid at the final it has to be him. It's not a surprise that Sadio Mane is Bayern Munich's top priority this transfer window because he is really good.

with this new coach manchester united can go very far, I think they can even reach third place, just see that even being in this deplorable state they managed to finish in a better position, so imagine if they are strong? for manchester united to be able to finish in third position or fight to be champion they just need to have more and attackers who score a lot of goals, have better players in midfield and in defence, the new coach needs to play friendly games with some strong teams to determine to what extent will manchester united be strong or not after having new players and speaking of manchester united, I've seen comments from Jamie Carragher talking about the new coach to let go of ronaldo, honestly it seems to me that Jamie Carragher is crazy

Mane is a top-notch player in Liverpool and in his national team, I am also sure that he will be a good player wherever or whichever club he choses to play in after Liverpool.
But I do not agree with you when you said he is underrated. Sadio Mane is not underrated in Liverpool and it grossly depends on your definition of underration.
What actually happened in Liverpool is that the club cannot be built around more than one player, and Salah is the player and the face of the club. Mane understands this, and at some point everyone has to work for Salah.
Can you also say that Van Dijk is underrated? No. Everyone cannot be number one at same time. Mane's time will come.
What I know that was done against Mane is the politics of not including him in the England league player of the year.

[Pokapoka124]

There are already lots of speculations since Mbappe didn't sign for Real Madrid. I have read where Ronaldo was linked to Real Madrid return due to Real Madrid being unable to sign Mbappe. So, it is not surprising to see people linking Sterling to Real Madrid.

It is not speculation anymore, it is clear that Mbappe won't move to Real Madrid this season. He already announced that he decided to stay at PSG because of personal's reasons and probably money played a big role to ensure him to stay. Regarding other speculations like Ronaldo or Sterling to move to Real Madrid, I think the chance is not really big. But I really hope Real Madrid still focuses on looking for CF, not prioritizing wingers.

It is so obvious that Real Madrid needs a center forward because Benzema is old and prone to injuries.

Yep. Real Madrid needs more top central-forward (CF), not a CF like Mariano or Jovic. These CFs can't play as expected, there is nothing special with these central forwards (CFs). I think Real Madrid needs to put these players on to transfer list, so there are some spaces for new players. It is urgent to sign new CFs, Benzema can be injured or can play at his best anymore in the next season. So, there should be another CF to substitute him with the same skill and experience level. Well, Lewandowski is a good option although he isn't young anymore.

I think Real Madrid is okay as a team, although Benzema is getting old they are doing quite well for themselves and I believe they can still replicate this level of success next year.
Football club as big as Real Madrid don't really need a superstar to fill up a position always. They can always go for players who are ballers even Mariano and make them Superstars. Real Madrid have been able to do that with Vinicius Jnr too.

I agree that Real Madrid is playing a great season this year but i am not so sure if they can really replicate that level of success in the next season too, especially in the Champions League where they are playing in the final this saturday, which is a great success and also a surprise. Real Madrid showed some iconic performances and comebacks in order to reach this final but if we are 100% true and open then it is also obvious that they were pretty lucky in order to get this far because they were not the better team in all 3 matchups in the knock out stage against Paris, against Chelsea and especially against ManCity.
So yes Real is playing a great season but there is also a good amount of luck involved that they will not have every year.

But in this case they must also be aware because indeed Regeneration is also one of the important things there.
Nowadays old age is one of the natural enemies for athletes and it's not only Benzema there who is already over 30 there but there is also their attack manager, Modric as well and even though they are good now it doesn't mean they have to relax because the seasons are changing so the older they are too and this will affect the quality of the game

[arallmuus]

with this new coach manchester united can go very far, I think they can even reach third place,

People was saying literally the same thing every single time we get a new coach but honestly getting to top 3 is not the main target, probably atleast top 2 or even winning the Premier League. Given the circumstances, I'll even be glad if Ten Hag can get us back to top 4 or atleast show that the team no longer play like a 2nd tier team ( Im actually spesifically speaking about Maguire and the rest of the back line defender )
