⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[alpamar99]

If Chelsea gets Ronaldo in the team at just for 15m, it will be a best deal for them. Ronaldo is still one of the best players in the world. And if Chelsea's goal is to win the Champions League, they will take Ronaldo to the team. But Thomas Tuchel is a very experienced coach. He knows very well which player is necessary for his team. He will choose the right player for the team at low cost.

It's actually quite hard to see if this happens for me because I really like Manchester United whatever is happening with them at the moment but it's clear that his move to Chelsea if it happens it will indeed make me quite disappointed as a fan even though this kind of thing is quite common to happen.
But indeed if Ronaldo wants to be there and doesn't want to see United again then we can't really do anything because the season will still continue.

But indeed it is a fairly cheap price even though the salary is still very high.

After Cristiano Ronaldo was permitted to leave Manchester United this summer, one of Chelsea's owners regarded the potential to sign one of the biggest names in sports as being too good to pass up, and Chelsea had an offer ready for Ronaldo.

What are the chances of Chelsea getting Cristiano Ronaldo in the transfer window this summer?

Is signing Ronaldo the best thing Chelsea can do right now? Looking at how he ended up in Manchester United and how many people expected a lot from him, it appears as if he is not in the team, he will not be able to take them to the Champions League as many people expected, signing for Chelsea may give the same, though anything can happen, but Chelsea could have looked for a young aged player to buy instead of Ronaldo.

Actually Ronaldo could have brought Manchester United to the Champions League if his teammates did the same. Manchester United's failure to penetrate the Champions League was purely the fault of the whole team who could not improve their game to a better performance. In fact, I see a setback in this club.
Regarding Ronaldo's chances of playing for Chelsea, it seems quite large, if Manchester United has allowed it, it means that the decision is in Ronaldo's hands.

Chelsea's management will spend a relatively modest fee to get Cristiano Ronaldo's signature at just £15m, but Chelsea will have to shell out more than £400,000-a-week despite Mendes having told interested parties he is willing to take a pay cut if an agreement is reached.

The transfer fee wouldn't be a big deal at all for Chelsea now. Because they have so much money to spend in their transfer budget at the moment. The salary topic could be a little problem to think over for Chelsea. They wouldn't struggle to pay of course but they would assess the situation whether it's worth to pay that much money per week to Ronaldo. This claimed amount is much lower than his current salary too actually. He is earning 510,000 pounds per week now.

If Chelsea gets Ronaldo in the team at just for 15m, it will be a best deal for them. Ronaldo is still one of the best players in the world. And if Chelsea's goal is to win the Champions League, they will take Ronaldo to the team. But Thomas Tuchel is a very experienced coach. He knows very well which player is necessary for his team. He will choose the right player for the team at low cost.

I don’t know about you’ll but I strongly feel that this is an arm twisting method by Ronaldo to force Manchester United to pay him his full salary, because currently all player’s are hit with a 25% deduction in their salary due to the failure of not reaching the champions league. Furthermore Manutd will not sell to a direct rival, hence his only option is PSG but I sincerely doubt that they need him.

Manchester united offers €60 million midfielder de Jong and barcelona takes advantage of man United's interest to push higher value for his midfielder. ~

I read a funny thing on the news: Barcelona are already ready to sell De Jong, but they cannot do it right now because they have a debt to the player (16 million in salary and 4 in bonuses)  Is it just me or is every news from this club getting more and more clownish? Now I understand how Barcelona got into such a difficult financial situation 

[gabbie2010]

Arsenal are thinking about parting ways with many players. It seems like Nicolas Pepe and Bernd Leno are among the candidates too. Pepe has been brought to the team with big hopes. However he couldn't have given the expected performance from him to Arsenal. I still believe Leno is a good goalkeeper but Ramsdale has taken his place in the starting eleven by a shining performance.

Arsenal new signings means the duo of Nicolas Pepe and Leno will be surplus to the club, the brilliant and oustanding performance of Ramsdale last season had completely confined Leno to the bench, of course he was  the former first choice goalkeeper but due to his inconsistent and always conceding cheap goals that was reason for sitting on the bench, Arsenal had already signed Matt Turner from MLS in case Leno leaves, Pepe has no option than to seek for club elsewhere because he won't guarantee a regular playing time with calibre of quality attacking and offensive players Arsenal just signed, however his high sign-on fee may wade off potential buyers.

Ronaldo and Neymar have been linked to Chelsea, but there is nothing concrete about the transfer. Chelsea is still trying to sign De Ligt from Juventus, and negotiations are ongoing. De Ligt is interested in the Chelsea project, but there are some complications because Bayern Munich is also interested. Juventus is seeking at least €85 million.

Chelsea are currently eyeing De Light but personally he is more interested in coming to Bayern Munich and he has spoken to Nagelsman and De Light impres about Nagelsman's squad project so he prefers to go to Munich even though it was Chelsea who went after him first, but which is a bit so The problem here is that Munich they don't want to pay De Light the price that the Juve team has offered, they are asking for €50-60 million, so let's see how Juve will negotiate again with Munich and if negotiations don't work out maybe De Ligt will stay at Juve because his contract still has three years remaining.

This De ligt's transfer saga is similar with that of Raphinha. Player wants a particular club who cannot pay the asking price but player is not interested in going to the other club that can meet the asking price. And Juventus want to offload him at the right price to facilitate more incoming players. Although Chelsea were considered to be in pole position to sign him last month, a twist in the tale has been introduced in the last few days and now there are reports that Bayern Munich have offered €75 million plus add-ons for De Ligt, but Juventus are holding out for a minimum base fee of €80m.

Most times it is difficult getting a player during the transfer window for some reasons. We assume the club is not doing their best to get these players, there may be some factors stalling the process, one of this factor is the player's choice of destination. A club can have the money to pay and get the player but the player sometimes has other club he wants move to and that's the situation with Raphina, Chelsea are ready to pay for his services but he prefers to play for Barcelona or Arsenal and both teams are not willing to pay the full price Leeds are asking.

Barcelona needs to take a huge loan to pay all of their debts,this is really getting insane for one of the best clubs in football history. They need to pay all debts with their spotify deal and get a loan from a bank. They need to sell most of the players and i think they wont be able to get out of this debt anytime soon

Manchester united offers €60 million midfielder de Jong and barcelona takes advantage of man United's interest to push higher value for his midfielder. Tottenham offer €12m for centre-back Clement Lenglet plus €20m from Coutinho
€90m would be in Barcelona's hands if they agreed to offers from these clubs, so what is the selling price of Lewandowski?
Talking about his career with munich, munich is not trying to sell him but Lewandowski who wants to try new adventures outside bayern munich

The hunt for Frenkie de Jong by Manchester United has become a much discussed topic, but there has been no agreement between Barcelona and Manchester United because it is difficult to reach a price issue. Manchester United will keep pushing and trying until the next few days for Frenkie De Jong.  They will definitely continue to look for a deal with Barcelona until they get the signature of the player they are looking for.

While negotiations between Barcelona and Tottenham Hotspur for Clement Lenglet have been carried out but are not yet closed, they are finalizing the details. Tottenham Hotspur will pay 80% of his salary, Barcelona want to include a purchase option of around 20 million Euros.

Barcelona is not thinking about Lewandowski anymore, after his latest offer was rejected by Bayern Munich, Barcelona prioritized the signing of Raphinha. Leeds United charge 60 million Euros for Raphinha, Barcelona can use the proceeds from the sale of de Jong to bring Raphinha to Camp Nou.

[Pokapoka124]

According to sources Raheem Sterling has confirmed a move to Chelsea as an agreement has been reached for a transfer fee of £45m and this has been agreed by both parties.
However, at this time Chelsea are still prioritizing the transfer of Rapinha, which it is reported that Chelsea are also interested but this is still waiting for an offer from Barcelona whether there is a match or not with the Leeds side but Chelsea will still wait for the next news, which means with other rumors Ronaldo and Neymar who will go to Chelsea is still not a priority. Tuchel seems to focus on other players compared to the two stars.

Thomas Tuchel should rather go fully for Sterling rather than Ronaldo or Neymar. The former is old and seeking for individual glory while the later is more concerned about his happiness and wellbeing. Though the later is a raw talent but he plays football for fun. Both the former and the later will rip the club off with huge wages. All these cannot be said of Sterling who works very hard in the pitch and whose wages won't be that high.
I sincerely advice that Sterling is a better option among them.

I do not believe Ronaldo is only plays for individual glory. I however agree Raheem Sterling would be a better choice for Chelsea. Not because he plays better than Ronaldo or Neymar but because it would cost the club lesser to get Sterling and he will be open to a move to the north london club. It is almost certain that Ronaldo might not like to join Chelsea and would rather seek for a club outside England same as Neymar and in addition Sterling would fit right into Tuchel's style of play.

It seems that Frenkie de Jong will be a target that Manchester United failed to achieve after releasing Ronaldo. This is not a good solution if Frenkie de Jong cannot be taken. The president of Barcelona is still trying to keep this one player, because he still needs his contribution to encourage Barcelona's performance next season. The agreement that could not be completed, made Manchester United increasingly desperate to find other players.

What are the chances of Chelsea getting Cristiano Ronaldo in the transfer window this summer?

It seems like that the new owners of Chelsea are just as willing to spend money for transfers as Abramovich was, good for them, bad for financial fair play, but no one really cares about financial fair play anyway it appears. I think that Cristiano Ronaldo is still good enough to help every club in the world. Ronaldo was smart enough to change his play style a few years back. When he was young he was extremely spectacular to watch as he was dribbling a lot. Now he is basically a pure striker since a few years and a very good and effective one.
The problem for me is that Ronaldo probably wants a salary of around 30 M€ or even more, for me that is just to much for a player that is 37 years old, even if he was the best player in the world a few years ago.

[CryptoPanda]

This transfer window is looking like the most active and busy one I've witnessed, lots of big money signings, clubs have being very active especially in the EPL, Chelsea's move for De Ligt has been taking a longer time than expected, it looks like Bayern Munich are moving quickly and ahead of Chelsea to get De ligt, i expect chelsea to prioritize signing defenders but so far they have been going after attackers, probably they have plans on ground for that who knows. Good deal for pogba and Ibrahimovic. I hope Paul Pogba can find his form again at Juventus.

Now I understand how Barcelona got into such a difficult financial situation 

De Jong's salary at Barcelona has actually been cut very much. The salary of around 12 million pounds per season was cut to 4.3 million pounds per season and said he would be paid in the 2022/2023 season.
what makes this funny is that the parties from Barcelona are trying that the salary debt that has been promised must be borne by MU in the transfer but at a hefty price tag on Barcelona and must pay a salary that actually has nothing to do with MU is this a joke?

I'm hearing about some news like Mauricio Pochettino would like to return to the Premier League. He has got sacked by PSG as you know and he is free agent now. If Tottenham didn't have a manager now maybe they would think of bringing him back. However they have a great manager like Conte now. As a result I wonder if there is any team that could be interested in signing him now. I don't see any big team that are in need of a manager currently.

I'm sure Mauricio Pochettino won't be out of work for too long after being sacked by PSG, because Pochettino is actually a good coach, it's just not suitable
to coach a team with many star players like PSG. There are many rumors that say Pochettino wants to return to coaching a team from the Premier League.
Unfortunately, currently none of the clubs in the Premier League are planning to change their coach. Even though Pochettino is very suitable if he returns
again as Tottenham coach, unfortunately Daniel Levy prefers to appoint Antonio Conte as a replacement for Nuno Espirito Santos. And Conte has also shown
his quality as a coach, Conte managed to get Tottenham back into the Champions League competition. Then there are rumors that Pochettino is ready
to join Arsenal if Mikel Arteta fails to make Arsenal perform better. We'll see which team will end up being Pochettino's next choice, for now it looks
like Pochettino really has to be patient and wait for an offer to come.

Pochettino has had it rough these past years having been sacked by Tottenham and now PSG. I think he performed even better when he was at Tottenham than his campaign at PSG and it looks like it is difficult for him managing too many star players like he did in PSG. It will be unfortunate to see him away from the pitch for some time as there is no news of any team in the premier league seeking for a new manager at the moment or he could seek outside England like Nuno Santos.

If they want to do it for the long term maybe Ronaldo can't fulfill that but for the term 1 or 2 seasons it still can and Ronaldo is a good choice.
But even though it's actually like that, I'm still not too sure whether they can bring Ronaldo or not in this case, even though Todd Boehly has prepared a lot of money, I'm not too sure that Ronaldo will go there.

Chelsea should focus and serious finding new defender preparing for next season, they have loss two defender with free tranafer from Antoni Rudiger until Andreas Christensen. Both player move to Real Madrid and Barcelona with free transfer, I think very bad choose if Chelsea have loss chance with De Ligt. I think Juventus's defender still young and potential for giving contract until five years later, but sadly Chelsea looks serious with attacking player right now. De Ligt have consistent performance as defender and good replace for position leaving by Rudiger and Andreas Christensen.

The competition for football next season will be even more fierce, and Chelsea cannot expect more from an aging player. I certainly tend to expect Chelsea to take on young and talented players. Although Ronaldo is still productive, it cannot be guaranteed to last long. If Chelsea looks to the Monster Club the changes to determine young players have already been made. Manchester City and Liverpool, for example, target players who have long-term prospects. That's the most appropriate thing Chelsea needs to take as well.

Barcelona is the biggest football club that has ever existed and got the many titles of course  proof their greatness so far, so I think we here certainly didn't believe it when we first heard that Barcelona had a large enough debt and could even bankrupt them at that time, but that's what it is the fact is that if the club financial management is not done well, but strangely enough they continue to be aggressive in trying to recruit players without thinking about the financial problems that must be resolved first.
Speaking about of the transfer of De Jong, it's been reported that Barcelona and Manchester United have agreed on a transfer value of approx. 55 million pounds plus bonuses but the deal was delayed due to Barcelona still in debt or de Jong's salary in arrears of more than 17 million pounds, it's really a pity for Barcelona at this time because as a big team it would be quite embarrassing if they couldn't pay off the salaries of their players .

This evening Juventus had a lot of meeting and this is the situation.

Di Maria will come to Italy tomorrow.
Pogba will come Saturday.

Today Juventus pushed for Koulibaly from Napoli and Zaniolo from Milan and Arnautovic (back up player)

Pogba is a very good signing but only for Juventus, where the club already knows how to use him and what he's really capable of.  And it's a free transfer too and he's just 29 years old.    Juve bought him for cheap from United then sold him back with a high price tag and now they're getting him back again for free.  Lolol.

Anyway, what's the news on De Ligt?  A week ago I heard he's going to Chelsea, now it's Bayern Munich.  I think he could be a good signing for United.  Maguire sucks.

[SatoPrincess]

bad news emerged after Chelsea's great desire to sign De Ligt because they had just lost two centre-backs Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen who chose to leave Stamford Bridge after their contracts expired.

Chelsea still seems unsatisfied with the search for players to form the best squad this season. Chelsea knows how their strong rivals Liverpool and Man City are performing. Chelsea has several target names that are still in the negotiation process. After the difficulty of getting De Ligt, I think Chelsea can work out other alternatives. such as a defender from Man City, Nathan Ake who is trying to be brought in.
Raheem Sterling has also reached an agreement with Chelsea management regarding salary. there are also several midfielders that the club management is trying to finish soon.

Chelsea needs to bring in new signings and replacements. Quite a few important players have moved from the club and some underperforming players which the manager will be looking to replace. It's always being difficult when a team is in bad shape to attract players to join but it isn't so bad for chelsea as they have Champions league title to offer any player to join which is a massive boost to them and with the money available to spend, they can get their choice of players like De ligt and De Jong.

All transfer windows are always busy. Your the one who hasn't been paying closer attention to transfer.
Bayern Munich and Chelsea making advances for de Ligt, who finally gets him is what I'm yet to see
Chelsea needs to pay more attention to that transfer after getting Raheem Sterling completely into Chelsea.
They need to replace defending player's that left already.
