⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Falconer]

Juventus is looking really sharp for next season. I think they are now with all of these signings the main favorites by far for winning the serie a title. With Pogba they will complete the midfield and will have a really good player for the upcoming season

Yes, I would also say they are a favourite. But of course other teams like Milan, Inter and Napoli have the same chance to win the title. I don't think Milan will be too bad to be favorites this season even though Juventus look better about the quality of their team.

Milan, Inter and Napoli will not be too disappointed to be called title contenders. This team has done very well to be in the top 4, Milan remains my favourite but will not underestimate the power of Juventus. Regarding transfers, I hope that some of the players who come can contribute well this season. Origi and Messias are expected to help this team until the end of the season.

I doubt that Chelsea is even interested in signing Cristiano Ronaldo. I mean it definitely makes sense to discuss the transfer of such extremely skilled and effective striker but just because you are thinking about something does not mean that you are really wanting to sign him in the end. It is the same with Bayern Munich. It is also pretty much confirmed now that Ronaldo also was a topic that was discussed at Bayern Munich but in the end they decided to not try to sign him, which was a good decision in my opinion. Yes Ronaldo is a still a great player but not the best in the world anymore and he still wants to be paid like he is the best.

Another rumor Chelsea success reach personal agreement with Raheem Sterling from Manchester City and looks Ronaldo transfer will close. If Chelsea success get Sterling I don't think keep need Cristiano Ronaldo on forward position. After losing Lukaku, Chelsea still not find with new central forward bit Sterling ability to play on Lukaku position or have option with right and left side of winger. Not close opportunity before finding new central forward Chelsea will make alternative option with Cristiano Ronaldo transfer, but all it depending with Thomas Tuchel need to get Ronaldo or not.

This is a good move for both parties for Chelsea and Raheem Sterling.
Chelsea are also making plans for Nathan Ake of Man City.
They Chelsea needs to replace Rudiger as fast as possible. Ronaldo to Chelsea is a no no don't think about it happening.

Sterling is good, and has the attributes to succeed at Chelsea but the problem at the club is something Sterling alone coming in would solve, he could be very good but he will not cover up in the defense. The team is lacking dept at the backline. We fans get so excited with news of our club making big name signings and sometimes we exaggerate things and make it seem like we signed the saviour of the world. Sterling, Ronaldo are not what the club needs right now they need to sign defenders

[Alisha-k]

It's unlikely that Chelsea are much interested in Ronaldo as they are in frenkie de jong. Truth be told, Ronaldo is good and has a lot to offer any club but I think his input will be much appreciated at a less competitive club like Chelsea. Another factor tuchel is probably considering is his age and the fact that he is nearing the end of his career. He is too valuable a player to be prized at £15m! It's quite embarrassing that with his calibre, clubs are not falling over themselves to get his signature.

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.

Complete deal for Paul Pogba would be completely done on Saturday. He's still got all of everything we do know about Paul Pogba. Exactly the one that won the league with Antonio Conte and with France.
Getting a proper Defensive Midfielder behind him to recover those balls and free Paul Pogba upfront to make good, great and decent ball delivery.

De Ligt currently pressured by Bayern Munich, higher chances of getting him are from the Bundesliga Champions.
To Manchester United? Lol I'm still patient on how Erik Ten Hag deals with Harry Maguire situation at Manchester United coz he's Subpar and not just good enough for Manchester United.

I'm really happy for Paul Pogba getting a move to Juventus, seeing his performances drop so low really touched me, I like his style of play and I like to see him perform and be talked about every week. It's obvious it was time to move from united and I'm glad the move will be completed soon. I'm also curious about how Erik Ten Hag plans to deal with the situation of Maguire and finding replacement for Pogba, Mata and Matic. Hopefully before the end of the window he would do something..

Juventus has always being favourites to win the Serie A league trophy every year but fall off along the way but this time with the kind of signings they are getting to their squad I think it will be different this year as they look stronger and determined to finish as champions. With Pogba and Di Maria joining their midfield is stronger and if Pogba can get passes across to Vlahovic they will get goals and win games easily.

For De Ligt, Bayern seems to be the closer one to sign him. Chelsea almost abandoned that idea and are turning towards De Jong which will cost them a lot unless they agree to a swap deal to reduce the cost. Of course, Chelsea still have to fix their defence line. There is Kimpembe that might be available since PSG agreed on his departure if they find a good deal ~€60m..

Yes, it looks like FC Bayern is going to get there 2 center defenders some support. Lucas Hernandez and Upamecano are young and good players, on the outside right / left Bayern is well positioned, there I think they need no new player. I think the deal makes sense and Bayern gets him now for the defense.  One Goalgetter, one in midfield and one as a right defender is already there. And now one for the center defense.

They actually need a center back. They parted ways with Sule after the expiration of his contract last month. They only have Upamecano as a center back and Lucas Hernandez to pair up sometimes. It is for sure that they will be eager to sign a defender to replace Sule. I think they can pull this deal regardless of Juventus asking fee. If they could pay €80M for Lucas Hernandez back in 2019, then meeting Juventus fee for De Ligt's deal won’t be an issue. If Bayern do pull off this signing, it would be another excellent coup in a window that has already brought them Sadio Mane and Ryan Gravenberch.

The defensive line of Bayern Munich is in shambles. They seriously need a defender very quickly. Otherwise, it is going to be a big problem for them in the next season. I don’t think money is going to be too much of a problem for Bayern Munich because they are winning the league title almost every time And I think they have enough money to get a defender that they want. And right now with Chelsea eying another player, it is going to be better for Bayern Munich to get the player. I think de Ligt is going to be insane in Bayern Munich. And honestly, I think it is just a matter of time before Bayern Munich finalizes the transfer.

But they let Dybala go and replaced him with Di Maria. Dan sell Mandragora to Fiorentina and plans to replace it with pogba.
I just saw Di Maria officially join Juventus on a free transfer, Juventus gave the former PSG player a one-season contract. At first I thought Pogba would come first but I was wrong
So there are already two names that have officially joined Juventus, Chiesa and Di Maria.

They are favorites already for Italian Seria A in the coming season.
Imagine the combo of Paul Pogba Did Maria and Chiesa all together.
Also that player they signed from Sassuolo last season.
Vlahovic likely to be the highest goal scoring player next season at Italy.

It's really very expensive getting a center back, every club wants to get the best offer for their center backs and as it stands it is difficult to get a good centre back for an amount below £40m. De ligt is a good player, young, strong and physical but for that price i think he is over hyped. Not many clubs will be able to spend that amount on de ligt but Juventus still insisting on that price means anyone who wants him will have to pay that amount. I don't think Bayern will be willing to pay that amount so it's left now to Chelsea if they can break the bank for de ligt.

Ronaldo is still not attending trainings for Manchester United at the moment. He has just made up his mind already about leaving at the earliest opportunity now. The most serious interests are from Chelsea and Napoli curently seemingly. Chelsea seem to be more interested lately however his salary might cause both of Chelsea and Napoli to think twice about this deal too. Because his current weekly salary is 510k pounds already. I don't think he would accept a huge pay cut also.

[Pokapoka124]

I think Di Maria has always been in the shadow of other players in his team. In the Argentine national team you always have Messi, of course, no name can compete with that. Aguero had you there too. He didn't do badly at Real Madrid, but you'll never be a striker if Ronaldo is in your team too. He wasn't bad at United, but I don't think he was able to show his best there. He only got really good later on. Now at PSG, he also has the problem of playing in a team with Messi, Neymar and Mbappe again. Then you are basically 4th choice.

It will definitely be difficult being in spot light when you are playing with these players of this pedigree, these players are like gods they have the ability to keep you on the bench for as long as they stay in the club. I think it will be much better for Di Maria at Juventus, there he would play with players on same level and will have opportunity to shine and stay relevant in the team again.

AC Milan, Inter Milan and Napoli should brace up because of the return of a formidable Juventus who had previously dominated Serial A however faded off now they back into reckoning the calibre of quality signings in the team, Pogba will always hold their midfield having been a force to reckon with during his previous stinct in the club, I hope he replicate that form again, I also admire DiMaria skills, Juventus will be a team to beat in the league, however it might some time before they new players blended with the old ones once they click it going to be a strong squad.

A defender is cheaper than a goalgetter, the cost of a transfer is maybe twice. And if they are under 23 years young and have 1-2-3 years of Champions League experience, then it becomes expensive for many. I think Bayern will buy him when they sold Lewandowski for + 40 million euros. Then there is money to get him.

Another rumor Chelsea success reach personal agreement with Raheem Sterling from Manchester City and looks Ronaldo transfer will close. If Chelsea success get Sterling I don't think keep need Cristiano Ronaldo on forward position.

Not close opportunity before finding new central forward Chelsea will make alternative option with Cristiano Ronaldo transfer, but all it depending with Thomas Tuchel need to get Ronaldo or not.

After having Haaland there was no need of Raheem Sterling, so this was expected and if I am not wrong all things already settled and this transfer is completed with now Chelsea management is strongly working on another deal which is related to Barcelona hopefully they will also complete this, and we will have one of best squad in Premier League which is going to challenge Manchester City and Liverpool for title of 2023.

With change of management in Chelsea it's going good for them because new owners are having some good investment which is increasing strength, and it's going to be good new for fans as well if Cristiano Ronaldo is also agreed then surely we are going to have one of big deals for them, and surely it's going to be strong case for them for having any trophy in next season.

What was also very striking is that Xavi Simons went to PSV Eindhoven in the Netherlands. From a PSG point of view, not really an improvement from a sporting point of view. The boy has enormous talent and was seen as the potential successor to Messi when he still played at Barcelona. Did the rest of Europe sleep or did I miss something when Simons went to PSV? PSG may not have needed him, but surely there were plenty of other top clubs who could use Simons for the longer term? I am sure he will become world top. A diesel engine. But a very fast one. Its market value should be much higher anyway.

Newcastle are increasing the number of players they are interested in day by day. They need to renovate the team to be more successful of course and they don't have any problem on affording any player now. Now another candidate that might join them is Marco Asensio. He has one year to go for being a free agent but Newcastle want to pay whatever transfer fee is needed to sign him now. Real Madrid don't have big plans for him as it seems so Newcastle can turn this situation into an advantage.

A big advantage for a club as rich as Newcastle to pay more to get the players they want. However, with the stages still far enough, at least Newcastle's target of only being in the top 10 of the standings next season has become a top priority. Quality is the main thing, therefore Newcastle have enough time to adapt.

Juventus also lost some good players; losing Giorgio Chelili, Dybala, Federico Bernardeschi, and Federico Chiesa in a single season will be difficult, and they will soon lose De Ligt. Pogba and Di Maria were both signed as free agents.

Having both Di Maria and Pogba is just great for Juventus so now they need a striker that could be able to turn all that passes into goal. At this rate, I dont see why Ronaldo wont be joining them anytime soon  . This is pretty much speculation but Im sure that Ronaldo would fit in a club that has Di Maria in it though and the fact that Ronaldo hasnt been joining the pratice pretty much tells everything

On what turf would Ronaldo return to Juventus, a club with even lower ambitions than Manchester United? He was forced to leave Juventus last year when they needed him the most, so linking him back to Juventus is very funny; he wants to join a competitive team that is also active in the Champions League; if there is a serious contact, he would prefer to join either Chelsea or Bayern.

I don't believe Juventus need another striker after signing Dusan Vlahovic last season.
