⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[SatoPrincess]

Fabio Vieira had a pretty good performance last season, I think he's a pretty good player for his price.
He is still young and I am sure he will be a very useful name for Arsenal. It's so good.
We will see how long he can play at Arsenal and how much he can contribute to the team, I think he is a football player who can make a name for himself in the coming years

I agree Vieira perform was really good as a central attacking midfielder, but sometime FC Porto place him on left midfielder, his perform was bad and not a good position for him. It's kind of gambling to buy Vieira while Arsenal already have good central attacking midfielder e.g. Martin Odegaard, honestly he was good to deliver an assist, but he just unlucky and make his stats not really good enough.

Arsenal is more needed to get a new center forward and left winger, not central attacking midfielder.

How many attacking midfielders do Manchester city have in their team? They have Kevin Debruyne, Bernardo Silva, Phil Foden and Jack Grealish. They’re like for like players and Pep still induce them into this squad. When their main creator (Debruyne) got injured in the early part of the season, we couldn’t notice because they had the depth to create and score more goals. What happens when Martin Odegaard get injured in the crucial stage of the season or the European championship, who can play his role with ease? Fabio Vieira had a great season in Porto, in 27 appearances, 15 starts, hitting 6 goals and providing 14 assists and you think it’s not a good addition for Arsenal? There were games that Arsenal couldn’t penetrate last season and he’s needed to help the team. I’m happy Arsenal got him.

Manchester City have lots of options in the midfield, they have enough arsenal to cover up for injuries. Pep Guardiola depends so much on his midfield so he always want sufficient options in his midfield and I see Mikel Arteta following that foot step in his course of rebuilding and strengthening his Arsenal side, adding Fabio Viera, Partey, Lokonga, e.t.c creating more options in the Arsenal midfield.

There is only one plausible reason for Barcelona's failure to sign Lewandowski and that is if they don't comply with Bayern Munich's request for a transfer fee. 50 million is a fairly high price for Barcelona's current financial condition, but it is still possible for this transfer to occur if Barcelona manage to sell other players.

Barcelona's highest bid for Lewandowski so far is 40 million based on information circulating, but if Barcelona really want to increase the bid according to Bayern Munich's request then this transfer will happen in the near future.

Logically, you are paying 50 millions for a 34 years old player which seems like a bad deal because you cant really sell him afterward because he is either going to move out for free or retire after playing for several years max. Not to mention about their financial situation and if they really wants to sign Lewandowski then they will be forced to sell some of their players which most likely will be De Jong to Manchester United

actually Lukaku wasn't that bad at Chelsea but his very high price made a lot of people disappointed because what happened didn't live up to many people's expectations because the price was so expensive.
If you compare his performance like he was in Inter Milan's uniform, of course what he did at Chelsea was really disappointing.
and the matter of the Premier League being different from Serie A is certainly the reason, Lukaku's style of play is not very suitable in the Premier League, in fact he is more developed with the Serie A style of play.

Romelo Lukaku is even included in the list of the 10 worst Chelsea signings in history. How not, 97.5 Million Pounds Sterling is a very expensive price and less than 10 months the Belgian striker returned to the Nerazzurri.

At the start of the season, my Lukaku performance was good by scoring 4 goals, but his performance dropped when my injury was serious. Chelsea are ready to lose and agreed that my injury should return to the cage to Intermilan.

Romelo Lukaku is a fine player he had a rough season at Chelsea although he started fine at the start of the league but fell below with a poor performance. He would be happy returning to Inter Milan though on loan but he will feel relieved and home again. I wish Lukaku good luck with his new journey and hope he finds happiness again.

A busy day for Liverpool - Mane has completed his transfer to Bayern and it seems Minamino will soon follow him out of the club - he is leaving for Monaco.

I kinda hoped Mane wouldn't leave - he was great for us. After that I hoped we would get more money - which was hard considering he was in the last year of his contract and wanted a fresh challenge.
All in all - he'll be really hard to replace and is already a legend for the club in my book. Bayern is getting a great player in his prime.

Minamino has been confirmed to leave this season and Liverpool have reportedly agreed to release Minamino for 12 million euros + 3 million euros as a bonus in the agreement.
As for the Legend, it is certain that he will stay in that regard for Liverpool at least for some circles and indeed he is good enough to be categorized as a legend there.
His achievements at Liverpool are not small so it is quite natural that he entered the ranks of legends there even though he did not spend his career at Anfield.

[Harkorede]

Manè is now officially a new player for Bayern.

Still don't know how much they paid him, the first offer was around 24m € if I can remember correctly

I really can't help but feel a bit sad about his move, despite not being a fan, but it's just gotta happen someday sooner or later, and but, I think he left on good terms and when he returns for a game at some time in the future, I'm sure the fans are going to welcome him with open arms. He's got to write chapter of his career and I'm sure it's still going to be a good one with Bayern Munich.

So far judging by statistics from last season, Viera had a good season getting 14 assists and scoring 6goals, there is a good chance of Viera joining this Arsenal side and a good move at that. I personally think he will do great as a substitute and backup for Martin Odegaard. Though the main priority now seems to strengthening thier attack and full backs but adding a player or two to the midfield isn't a bad idea too.

It seems that Erik Ten Hag of Manchester United has even more plans to attract more players this summer. Actually United management should go along with that too, I assume Ten hag talked about that when he went to sign his contract. Predecessors also had capital to build a team, then it seems to me that ten Hag can also buy what he wants. The question is what exactly will happen to Pogba and to Frenkie De Jong.

[Magicalking]

Of course he was deserving his place in Liverpool before leaving. But Liverpool were ready to accept a favourable offer from Bayern Munich in the summer and they accepted the offer amounting to 41 million euros with bonuses. It is still good for Liverpool to sign a great player like Darwin Nunez. Now they have an amazing trio like Diaz-Nunez-Salah. If Nunez manages to adapt to the team in a short time I think this trio will destroy so many teams next season.

I think that in the end this is a transfer where all parties involved are happy now in the end and that's how it should be in my opinion. Mane did not really feel that he got the amount of appreciation that he deserved at Liverpool anymore. He was just as important as Mohamed Salah for their game but still there was no doubt that it was always Salah that was treated as the biggest start of the Liverpool team.
Bayern was looking for a transfer of a big player who could immediately help them to attack again for the Champions League title in the next season and Mane is probably one of the best candidates to do that.
I also think that Liverpool is happy now because they don't have to pay Mane's salary anymore and they already have signed Nunez for his replacement.

I think its a win win for both parties sealing Sadio Mane's transfer to Bayern Munich. Liverpool will be relieved of the cost of keeping both Mane and Salah high salaries and Bayern Munich on the other end finding a good replacement for departing Lewandoski who is on the verge of moving to FC Barcelona this summer with talks already progressing. Mane will be happy now where he will be paid better wages for the kind of effort he puts in the team something he was being deprived of at Liverpool

[Pulsar77]

It is very good news for Bayern Munich to have completed the Sadio Mane deal without a problem finally. Liverpool have already taken their precaution considering the possibility of this transfer. They signed Darwin Nunez but he isn't a winger naturally. Looking at the current squad of Liverpool, I see that there is Minamino who is a returnee from Southampton now. He can be Luis Diaz's substitute but I don't know how much Liverpool can rely on him when Diaz isn't able to play. Due to that, I'm wondering if Liverpool will go for a winger transfer.

[MinoRaiola]

Lukaku and Dybala to Inter Milan would be great. Lukaku's Comeback will be max motivation, I remember the emotional transfer in the Premier League and all the money that was paid from Chelsea. The fact that the Championship wasn't won hasn't been forgotten yet. The game against Bologna in April start the drama. Inter Mailand maybe adds someone in the defensiv. I mean a goalkeeper, captain Hadanovic is getting too old.

Even Kahn said that Lewandowski is under contract and he has still 1 year to play with Bayern.
The problem with Lewa is his ambition to play with Barcelona and only Barca. He refused to talk with Chelsea and PSG which could offer more money to attract Bayern.
Now Barcelona offering a good price isn't that obvious until they reduce their players / salaries..

Yes, this statement was confirmed directly by the Khan at the conference. I think the khan and the Bayern Munich management really hope their star Lewandowski doesn't leave Bayern Munich this summer. Even in his statement, Khan gave a signal that Lewandowski would stay until the end of his contract. We will see Lewandowski reaction in the coming weeks can he accept gracefully if his intention to go to Barcelona is stopped by the Bayern Munich management.

All in all - he'll be really hard to replace and is already a legend for the club in my book. Bayern is getting a great player in his prime.

I am also feeling bad for this transfer as he was doing an amazing job here, but this is his decision, and it's all about money which is surely had an impact on every player so if he is now receiving his desired amount it's good for him and his plans now Liverpool is going to have some changes in next season with the departure of Mane and arrival of Nunez.

Mohammad Salah is still their main striker but with the arrival of Nunez surely it's going to have some strength which was missing in last season and just because of this they fail to achieve their best results in Premier League and Champions League final.

There is no doubt with this transfer now Bayern Munich is going to more strong and having hopes for better results in Champions League in next season.

[SatoPrincess]

When he says he is comfortable with the squad he has now logically he would not bother to bid on De Jong and want Vitinha from Porto.
I think the reason is quite clear that he doesn't really believe in the current squad so he can't help but have to look for some players as patchers at this time even though in this case none of them have actually been officially announced because they are still stuck with the price.

Erik Ten Hag needed to access the current players in the squad before entering transfer market, Man Utd has some handful players like Van de beek, Fred, Mctominay, Fernandes etc in their midfield probably make one or two more signings in that area, there are also players in defence and attack that needed to be thoroughly accessed during pre-season matches thereafter Erik Ten Hag make a take decision to acquire quality players in the areas, the team will undergo a gradual rebuilding process , it's not about signing a new complete team.

Van De Beek is now in the process of returning home after mid-season he was loaned out to Everton. He's a very good player but it's a shame his talent wasn't put to good use by Ole and Rangnick. As for Fred I still haven't seen the quality of this player and I still feel that he and Maguire are the same as a player labeled expensive but not clear in terms of contribution.
It's quite interesting what Ten Hag is going to do now because he's currently eyeing a lot of midfield players even though there's still nothing official there.

It will be nice seeing Van de Beek returning and fighting for a place in the team. He has struggled so much from the time of Ole  and Ragnick and hope the case be different with the formal Ajax boss Ten Hag. Nothing has been decided yet, we just hear rumors of intending deals but no official signings for Manchester United. Ten Hag believes in young players and is known for grooming and bringing up young players so this is a good opportunity for Van De Beek under the new Manchester United manager

Mane probably might have stayed in Liverpool if they could win the Champions League. I have to say he was a great player for Liverpool and I also thought he probably would not leave. But now he has officially joined Munich and I hope he will be able to play as well as he did in Liverpool.

I wonder how Liverpool is going to change their tactics depending on the player not being on the team anymore. First of all, I cannot think of any player who will be able to replace him successfully. And even if they get a good player I don't think he will have the same chemistry with the team as he did.

The problem with Lewa is his ambition to play with Barcelona and only Barca. He refused to talk with Chelsea and PSG which could offer more money to attract Bayern.

I think Lewandoski agent is merely trying to use Barcelona and Real Madrid name to get a new contract offer that allows him remain at the Alllianz arena for atleast 2 more seasons retaining his huge pay too hehe. I have these assumption because Barcelona cannot afford Lewandoski, while Lewandoski will not go to Real Madrid to be second fiddle to Benzema

That sounds very possible, some players and even clubs can use this as a tactic to get improved deals and judging from the fact that Barcelona have not being able to afford big deals at the moment due to the current financial situation, I won't be shocked to see Lewandoski signing a new deal at Bayern Munich after much speculations in the media about him joining Barcelona or Real madrid this summer.

[Slow death]

I still wonder why he had to leave Inter Milan to begin with.

This is the easiest question ever to answer,
Money, he left because Cheaslea increased his salary by 70-80%

Things didn't work well for Lukaku in Chelsea, Tuchel deployed all sorts of formations to suit his style of play and to ensure he scores goals consistently, unfortunately all his efforts had proved abortive, the best alternative for Lukaku is to return to Inter Milan where he will easily adapt into the team and guaranteed a first team shirt, World Cup is in November he needed a regular playing time to be fit and get a call up into the Belgium National team, though the huge sign on fee paid by Chelsea to sign him is too outrageous, he shouldn't be more than €50 million.

Lukaku is a very talented player. But he has failed to adapt to the Chelsea team. I don't think he is suitable for the Premier League. Since the strategy of playing in Serie A and the Premier League is completely different, he has not been able to adapt to Chelsea. And I agree with you that Lukaku should go back to Inter Milan. He is suitable for Inter Milan and can adapt easily

Serie A is clearly very different from the Premier League and if we mention Romelo Lukaku is not a suitable player in the Premier League it is really impossible because he was an important player at Everton. He just failed at Chelsea and at Manchester United. Is it possible that he is experiencing some problems so that he fails to continue the positive trend he once did at Everton?

lukaku is an excellent player, the problem was not with lulaku, the problem was with the entire chelsea team, chelsea's style of play had changed to a style of play in which they made more shots from medium and long distances to score goals, and lukaku was not able to adapt to that, but notice that in the last games of chelsea when they started to play normally, lukaku was already scoring goals and started to stand out

Liverpool managed to have good results without mane. luis diaz will be able to replace mane without any problems. there was a time when mane stayed in some games where he couldn't score goals and liverpool won games without problems

Regardless of winning or not now is not important I think. he has decided to seek new experiences and Bayern is the place he is going now, his adaptation at Liverpool even when he was initially recruited was quite good so I have no doubts for Mane can adapt quickly in the Bundesliga and can give his best performance.

For Liverpool I don't think Klopp will change his tactics much and will still do the same by attacking sporadically on both flanks.
Salah and Diaz are still able to do that task as for Targetman there are several players like Jota and Nunez there.

[laurenB7742]

Manè is now officially a new player for Bayern.
Still don't know how much they paid him, the first offer was around 24m € if I can remember correctly

I have read several times now on different newspapers and websites that Bayern had to pay 32 Million € fixed transfer fee and with all possible bonuses that number can go up to 41 Million €, so i would guess that the final amount will stay below 40 Million € which seems like a good deal for Bayern Munich in my opinion. Liverpool can also be happy with that sum i think as they already have Darwin Nunez as a replacement for Mane and now they also don't need to pay the salary of Mane anymore.
If Bayern would accept the 50 Million € offer from Barcelona for Lewandowski now then i would be completely happy with the transfer period of Bayern Munich. I just hope they don't force Lewandowski to stay if he does not want at all.

I think that Bayern Munich got a really good deal with Mane. You know he is worth more than 40 million even though he is already 30.

Actually, it is just like what they think about Robert Lewandowski. I really think Liverpool should have wanted a lot more money for Mane, they easily could have gotten more money for this player.

Now Bayern Munich can easily let Robert Lewandowski go for 40 million.

[coinlocket$]

According to Pedullà, PSG and Juventus are working on an exchange between with Kean and Parades.

[TelolettOm]

Mane probably might have stayed in Liverpool if they could win the Champions League. I have to say he was a great player for Liverpool and I also thought he probably would not leave. But now he has officially joined Munich and I hope he will be able to play as well as he did in Liverpool.

Although Liverpool won the UCL title, Mane seems still to leave Liverpool. Mane and Liverpool have a complicated problem, Mane thinks Liverpool doesn't respect his contribution. We know that Liverpool is always hard to deal with the player salary increase, and Mane also feels that he is not getting the same attention as Salah. This is a personal problem but Mane really feels uncomfortable, so it's very natural that he decided to move to Bayern Munich. I assume Mane will be more appreciated by Bayern management. He will be one of the main players on Bayern Munich front line.
