⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[abhiseshakana]

Christiano Ronaldo has played in 38 United games for the 2021–2022 season and has officially stated his wish to work with the club for the 2022–2023 season. Manchester United experienced their lowest Premier League season last year with just 58 points and a laboriously sixth position in the league. Erik ten Hag, the new United manager, has stated his delight in coaching Ronaldo, so it seems that there is reciprocal admiration. The Dutchman has even mentioned giving Ronaldo the captain's armband in place of Harry Maguire.

Of the total matches that have been played by Cristiano Ronaldo in the 2021-2022 season, he is listed as Manchester United's top scorer. Ronaldo's statement to stay at Manchester United next season was conveyed when the Premier League competition ended.
Ronaldo really deserves to be captain and many fans want ten Hag's wish to make CR7 team captain come true.

In my opinion, Ronaldo deserves to be captain of Man United. Well, he still has 1 season but he grew up at Man United and the Red Devils fans really love him. Apart from that Ronaldo also has experience as captain of the Portugal national team and I think it will be a plus point if he becomes captain at Man United. If the Ten Hag really choose Ronaldo as the new captain, then it will solidify Ronaldo to fully be with Man United.

There may be people who are not happy if Ronaldo becomes captain (for example Mason Greenwood), but than Maguire, I think Ronaldo is still much better.

It is interesting to hear that Barcelona still have a chance to sign Raphinha. Because I have heard that Chelsea have almost completed the deal. Barcelona must be going for him until the end. I don't know if they can change his mind suddenly but I think that it is really difficult at this point. Chelsea have a better finance than Barcelona also and I don't think that they would lose him easily. I just consider the deal done for Chelsea. Barcelona might be in a big trouble with Chelsea this summer too as they both are going for the same players recently.

Raphinha is of interest to Barcelona, but Leeds will not accept the offer. Raphinha's proposal from Barcelona is official and written, but Leeds wants to respect the Chelsea agreement. It does not seem like Barca has a chance, they should give up on Raphinha and pursue others. Leeds accepted Chelsea's proposal, but they have not yet reached an agreement since the player appears to want Barca.

Agreed, Ronaldo obviously has a soft spot for Manchester United. He was brought into the spotlight by Manchester United. But I highly doubt that Manchester United has any serious plans for him. I am going to be quite certain that Manchester United doesn’t have anything planned for up Cristiano Ronaldo if Harry Maguire is the captain.

This is actually funny because after what has transpired Harry Maguire should never be the captain of Manchester United. And Cristiano Ronaldo should be given the chance of being the captain because his game sense is of a very higher caliber compared to Harry Maguire.

Leeds are only after the fund's and not the player's desires.
Anyway they have to do what they have to do for the best bid.
Raphina's deal must have gone through if he really wants to play for Chelsea.

Continue the news from Serie A, Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus reported received an offer from AC Milan. But the news seems to be refuted because AC Milan has agreed to the signing of Divock Origi from Liverpool. Contract details and transfer value will be announce soon with the introduction of Divock Origi as a new AC Milan player for the 2023 season. Regarding Gabriel Jesus, according to reports from several British media, Arsenal have reached an agreement with Gabriel Jesus.

I was a bit surprised to have see the first line of your comment on AC Milan showing interest in the player as prior knowledge tells me his already up at Arsenal and would be give the number nine(9) shirt to play under Mikel Arteta. Arteta who have worked with Manchester City right under Pep Guardiola and have had Gabriel Jesus train under him is sure to favour Gabriel Jesus in some way when he joins the team. His an important player and has got what Arsenal wants in a striker hence, playing time would be out of the question and possibly, we might be seeing Arsrnal in the top 4 of the Premier league come next season.

I think it was absolutely fake news about Gabriel Jesus and AC Milan having any link between themselves. Because Gabriel Jesus is already of Arsenal and there is no way AC Milan can get this player right now. He will be playing for Arsenal and I think Arsenal is going to keep him in the team for quite a long time. He has to be the next main striker of Arsenal. And I think he is going to play very good as well because he has a good amount of EPL experience. So should not get too late for him to get into form.

ARTURO VIDAL ----------------- BOCA JUNIORS
LUIS SUAREZ ------------------- RIVER PLATE (sign the monday).
Mega transfers to the south american.

Wow and both went to big rivals in Argentina. This is gonna be a good derby in the future as well. Didnt expect Luis Suarez to leave Atletico Madrid and Europe so early i expected from him that he stays at least for 2-3 years more

Luis Suárez is 35 years old and in over 10 years he has played at the best level in soccer. In England he was not as successful as in Spain and he became top scorer several times, 1 Champions League winner, 5x Spanish champion and much more. He has achieved everything and now he can have a little more fun playing soccer. The same thing happened with him Arturo Vidal. He has celebrated his greatest successes in Germany and Italy. 3x German champion and 5x Italian champion + many other titles. Now soccer is played for fun. I am sure of it.

[NotATether]

if Sadio Mane really joins Bayern Munich after the arrival of Darwin Nunez from Benfica this season it will certainly be an advantage for Bayern Munich and a distinct loss for Liverpool, considering that Sadio Mane's contribution in recent years has been so significant where he has proven to be successful in bringing Liverpool being a Premier League champion and also a European Champions League champion, while Darwin Nunez himself has not proven his quality

I have to disagree with you here. Primera Liga is not a league where you can expect players to play with top skill, because all of the good stars are bought up by other clubs. So it's quite unreasonable to dismiss Nunez simply because he hasn't won much silverware - especially since we are talking about someone coming from the Europa League diggers Benficia.

[bering]

It is interesting to hear that Barcelona still have a chance to sign Raphinha. Because I have heard that Chelsea have almost completed the deal. Barcelona must be going for him until the end. I don't know if they can change his mind suddenly but I think that it is really difficult at this point. Chelsea have a better finance than Barcelona also and I don't think that they would lose him easily. I just consider the deal done for Chelsea. Barcelona might be in a big trouble with Chelsea this summer too as they both are going for the same players recently.

Sooner than later, raphinha will be announced as Chelsea players that's my believe. Recently, Barcelona can't compete with Chelsea in terms of funds, so with the look of things now its clear that Chelsea has the upper hand of bringing raphinha to the team.

After help Leeds to avoid relegated zone Raphinha became an target for several big clubs and Arsenal and Barcelona reported want him but seems they were withdraw to get this player because Leeds offering high price to them but lately Chelsea in the front line to get him because seems Raphinha agent already met Chelsea even Leeds accepted 55 millions poundsterling bid from Chelsea and now personal agreement has under discussion and will be finish within 48 hours seems if all of process went smoothly Raphinha will be the first player which Chelsea get this summer

[Igebotz]

I think it's very scary because a big club like Barcelona FC if it has a very big debt then it's been confirmed that the financial management is not good, they should be the management at the club can hold several events that can sell tickets and get some more money, because when they the players know this information it will make the player's performance go down and I think I finally know why many barcelona players don't have good performances and don't dare to take new players.

They were actually paying those players, the financial situation was not as bad as the media made us believe, no doubt they accumulated a lot of debts from the previous administration, but saying it was their cause of failing to compete for the league last season is just an excuse. One of their major issues last season was that they hired Koeman and didn't fire him in time, and he messed up the squad, and it took Xavi some time to get things back on track.


Barcelona just sold their 10% tv right against next season to raise €200 million to be alone to register the free players they got and also make some transfer moves as they are still trying to get Lewandoski and Raphinha.

[Coyster]

In my opinion, Ronaldo deserves to be captain of Man United.

Ronaldo is unarguably one of the best players of all time, and only a few footballers are worthy to tie his laces, but i'm afraid i do not consider Ronaldo to be a captain "material", let us be honest, Ronaldo somewhat plays for his individual accolades, he is less of a team player than what a captain should be, there are numerous times that the team have won, but Ronaldo was unhappy just cause he did not get on the scoresheet, now can we also talk about his discouraging body movements when the team is losing or when the game isn't going his way, that is not how you want your captain to behave, and if i were to be manager of Manchester United, i would definitely not be happy if Ronaldo is my skipper.

[terrorJR]

After the words of this morning, I think DeLigt has a chance of 90% of leaving during the next transfer market.


If he ends to Chelsea, Juventus will want around 100m € value, and not so many players can fit for Juventus.

There are several parties who support and demand that Chelsea move quickly in bringing De Ligt to the Stampord Bridge this time, especially the name Gustavo Poyet is currently at the forefront of demanding Chelsea to complete the transfer of De Ligt before the pre-season tour in the United States.
De Ligt can indeed be one of the good things for Chelsea especially they have lost Christensen and Antonio Rudiger this summer so there is a gap in their defense.

So it's quite unreasonable to dismiss Nunez simply because he hasn't won much silverware - especially since we are talking about someone coming from the Europa League diggers Benficia.

Individual skills if they are not helped to develop by teammates will also not function, the game of football is collective, each other is enough to help the skills of the player and the club to develop, Nunez has the right to try to do something for a new club, because his career still has a long way to go. in the future, if he is able to adapt, then the opportunity to develop is very open

[herurist]

ARTURO VIDAL ----------------- BOCA JUNIORS

LUIS SUAREZ ------------------- RIVER PLATE (sign the monday).

Mega transfers to the south american.

This is big news for the argentine Primera because even though they are now at European level they are almost finished in their prime but still this is something good for the League there especially the two of them are always juxtaposed as rivals so it is clear this will be very hot for them.
Suarez and Vidal have experienced the golden era and now they will be on a pretty good track actually because they also know when in Europe they are difficult so it is not wrong to return to their home continent.

[jakdanyel]

Yeah actually Chelsea also were targeting Richarlison to sign for some time but they didn't even try to intervene the deal. Lukaku has left the club to join Inter on loan so they need a striker to fill his place in the team in the end. I really wonder what the reason could be for Chelsea about not going for Richarlison. I think their hand would be stronger than Tottenham too. Anyway, I hope Chelsea can find a good centre-forward for themselves before the new season starts.

Chelsea will catch a striker before the start of the new season. It will be a star… i don't think so. Look at Timo Werner, Christian Pulisic, Batshuayi and Hudson-Odoi they are young and strong players. I think it's going to be a very young player who also plays in the second team. Like Armando Broja, he comes from the U23 to the first team.

Even if it doesn't become a star transfer I think they should still sign a solid one. Because Batshuayi isn't a reliable striker and they are just loaning him to different teams when they have the opportunity. Timo Werner started to be more effective last season but his performance is still not good enough for Chelsea. Because they need a consistent striker too to be able to become successful in the Premier League and the Champions League both. However they can go for the formula you mentioned if they somehow fail in finding the one I described.

De Ligt can indeed be one of the good things for Chelsea especially they have lost Christensen and Antonio Rudiger this summer so there is a gap in their defense.

I think chelsea will consider it more because at this time at this club there is a fairly complicated problem and of course when a problem occurs like this it will make football clubs like chelsea prefer to save their money and try to make efficiency or if they have to they will buy some players who are cheaper than De ligt.

Chelsea currently want to be very strong to hunt for a central defender and their main target is De Ligt, I think Chelsea will be able to get him because the players themselves want to leave and don't like playing Juventus anymore with so much possibility that De Ligt will be obtained by Chelsea, regarding I don't think the Chelsea team or management at the moment have a problem.

Right, Who can guarantee Sadio Mane can perform well with Bayern Munich and Nunez actually failed at Liverpool.? These two players both performed well with their old clubs, for that reason they became an attraction for Liverpool and Bayern Munich.

When Hazard moved to Real Madrid it was hoped that he would be the ideal replacement for Ronaldo, and many people thought Hazard could easily adapt to Real Madrid. In fact Hazard even became a bench warmer after officially wearing the Real Madrid jersey, even though when he was still at Chelsea Hazard became one of the club's icons.

In his first season with a new club, many players had difficulty adapted. The language factor and different playing styles will be an obstacle for Nunez and Mane. They must have full support from the coach to increase the players' confidence so they do not feel awkward when they are on the field.

Well it's a two way road  here. Chelsea  are ready. It is just that he has his sights on Barcelona since before Chelsea started bidding for him. But unfortunately Barcelona we’re not financially buoyant then to bid for him. There’s  something called a "gentleman's agreement". Especially when you've served a particular club, giving your all. They'd respect that and allow you to go to a club of your dreams, which is Barcelona in this case. Raphinha has dreamt of playing for Barcelona all his life..and he just can't give up at this point. That's why his agent is doing all he can to strike a deal with them. Leeds United need to respect his choice. He's given his all to the club..its about time they return the favour, or else Chelsea will be getting a disgruntled player.

[Minor Miner]

Another reason Manchester United are looking for a top midfielder is because they are in crisis in midfield, Manchester United have lost four players who have been in and out of the first team. Lingard, Juan Mata, Nemanja Matic and Paul Pogba will certainly not appear with Manchester United again because their contracts have expired. So, Manchester United really have to prioritize strengthening the midfield in the transfer market by bringing in some new players.

This means Manchester United must look for four other talented players to replace Lingard, Juan Mata, Nemanja Matic and Paul Pogba who will not strengthen the Manchester United team again next season, because if only De Jong to replace the four players whose contracts have expired will also not enough for Manchester United. And it looks like Manchester United should focus more on finding some new players to strengthen their midfield in the current transfer market.

Why it changed to be Chelsea that are leading the race for Rafinha is what I don't know because it was Arsenal that was pushing forward for his signature,and have had about two bids refected by Leeds United,but the moment Chelsea came in and offered more money,they were in pole position to land the Brazilian.Rafinha is a nice dribbler and a good player that has that ability to score goals. Arsenal would have been the best club for him.

Money talks. In my opinion, Rafinha was also going to be a better player for Arsenal. But Chelsea put more money on the table and that's why they will be getting this player. I think he is also going to play quite decent with Chelsea as well. I don't see him being absolutely out of place in Chelsea at all. I just hope that he will be able to put a good performance on for Chelsea. He is a good midfielder and a good chance creator. He got quite a decent pace as well. Should be a good transfer for Chelsea and should not need too much time to get set as well.
