⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Harkorede]

Juventus will be highly competitive next season, they've made impressive signings and they're looking pretty solid, Inter Milan too have made impressive signings while AC Milan have not been super active yet.

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.

Yeah, I understand they lost some players too, but Chiellini was way too old already, and Dybala is a great talent and along with Bernardeschi and Chiesa whilc I would rather they keep, but none of these players were able to secure a fulltime starting spot, so It's as though they were sold since most of them left on a free transfer, there is no need have players that doesn't suit the manager's plan, so it's a move in right direction.

Chelsea is also said to be closing on signing Nathan Akè, as per Fabrizio Romano on Twitter, personal terms have been agree but Chelsea haven't made an official offer yet.

A fee of £43m is too much

I wouldn't say so with the way transfer fee are these days, and given the amount of experience Ake have acquired while playing so multiple teams in the, He's cheaper than what Arsenal were willing to pay for Ben Mee and what Man Utd paid for Maguire so I think it's only a fair price.

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.

That would be a great deal if newcastle manage to secure that deal asensio was not playing much with real madrid and that affected his performance but if he sign with newcastle i think he will play often which will benefit him into getting back in shape.

It's not a hindrance if he can contribute to chelsea, but what happened chelsea was not like a striker shortage just because Lukaku left to inter, and chelsea has just launched young player Armando Broja from the u-23 so it's not the right time to think about ronaldo. I also slightly doubt he will agree to join a team from the same league or current rival club

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.

I agree with you. Firstly his high opinion of himself won't allow him to find a team that will pay him enough in the end, and there are few rumours of him moving now, he will either stay at Manchester United or move somewhere with a lower wage. Heard a few times of interest from Barcelona and Roma, but no active discussion about it. Barcelona automatically drop out of the "race" because they can't pay much, and besides, they have a deal with Lewandowski on the line

The Raphinha deal is still not done for any team between Chelsea and Barcelona. According to news I have read, Barcelona have made their last offer for him which is worth around 47 million pounds. They are making their attempts and they seem closer than Chelsea to sign him these days. It has been recorded that Raphinha wants to play for Barcelona rather than Chelsea too. Taking all these things into account this deal should be completed successfully soon for Barcelona.

According to report, Rodrygo have confirmed that he's signing new contract with the Real Madrid after winning his first Champions League trophy with the team. It's been a good season for the 21years old. While the Brazilian will explore more next season and also took heavy duty upon himself in the Champions League.

No doubt that Real Madrid will extend Rodrygo's contract. Rodrygo has shown an impressive performance in the last season, his value increased significantly. Of course, Real Madrid will keep him on the squad because he is a promising player. Rodrygo will have a long time in Real Madrid since he is still 21 years old. I am sure Rodrygo can do his heavy-duty in the next season, he has the capability to play well in every season. Anyway, UCL isn't the only hard target, La Liga title may be more difficult to win in the next season.

The certainty of Raphinha's future is still unknown, after previously quite a lot of clubs wanted Raphinha. Now all that's left is Barcelona and Chelsea
who are still fighting for Raphinha. But it is reported that Raphinha is more interested in playing for Barcelona, it seems that the chances of Raphinha
joining Barcelona are much bigger. Diario Sport reports that Barcelona have submitted a new offer to Leeds United, after several offers from
the Barcelons were rejected, hopefully this new offer will be accepted by Leeds. Because so far Raphinha has agreed to the contract offered
by Barcelona, now just waiting for a transfer fee agreement between Barcelona and Leeds. I think in the near future Raphinha's move to Barcelona
will most likely happen.

Anthonio Conte is the only manager in the English premier league that have made more signing than any manager this summer. We will be expecting more high performance from the team. Conte always know the perfect player to bring to the team and he's trying to restrategize the team in his own making and tactics. One good thing with Tottenham is that they believe Conte can make their team come back fully and set them on the right track because they have experience lot of bad season in the recent years and they need to belt up in other to challenge other teams in the Premier League for the EPL title.

Arsenal and Tottenham are also competing for Raphinha. Reported from transfermarkt arsenal and barcelona are more likely to get Rapinha, I believe Rapinha is more likely to be with Arsenal because Barcelona still prioritize Munich striker, Lewandowski

On the other hand, Leeds United have made an agreement to bring Sinisterra from Feyenoord, this further strengthens the possibility that Raphinha will leave Leeds United this season because both of them play for the Winger position.

Raphinha has openly rejected an offer from Chelsea, in fact Chelsea had led the hunt for Raphinha because they were willing to pay the price for Raphinha release set by Leeds United of 50 million Euros. However, Raphinha did not respond to Chelsea offer because he wanted to realize his dream of playing for Barcelona.
Barcelona are trying to win the hunt for Raphinha, because it will be Xavi top priority. Currently, Barcelona have only reached a verbal agreement with Raphinha and Deco (Raphinha agent), but there is no written agreement with Leeds to formalize the release of Raphinha.

Arsenal and Tottenham are also competing for Raphinha. Reported from transfermarkt arsenal and barcelona are more likely to get Rapinha, I believe Rapinha is more likely to be with Arsenal because Barcelona still prioritize Munich striker, Lewandowski

I also agree more with Raphinha to choose Arsenal over Barcelona. although this season Arsenal's performance could not make the club compete in the Champions League, this season Arsenal played quite well. Raphinha is a necessity from Arsenal. This will complete the formation in the field.
but if Raphinha is going to choose Barcelona, it's not a bad choice either. it all depends on the agreement of the two clubs as well as the players.

I saw on television that the complexity of De Jong's transfer to Man United was due to the payment of salary deductions. Barcelona have a salary debt of around 17 million euros to De Jong because of their promise to pay in the 2022/2023 season. This is a pay cut clause during barcelona's financial difficulties. In the clause, Barcelona made an offer that the debt must be paid by Man United plus De Jong Price. I think this is why Man United disagreed with Barcelona's terms. Maybe Eriksen's arrival will be an alternative for De Jong, although I'm not sure he can perform optimally.

Don't forget besides Barcelona and Arsenal who want Raphinha, there is still Chelsea who are reportedly leading the way in getting Raphinha,
even the offer of 55 million pounds given by Chelsea has been approved by Leeds. But unfortunately Raphinha is more interested in joining
Barcelona, so now just have to wait for Barcelona and Leeds to find a transfer fee deal. For Arsenal the chances are very small to be able to
get Raphinha, because compared to Barcelona and Chelsea maybe Arsenal's popularity is still below Chelsea and Barcelona. After all Arsenal
don't play in the Champions League, so Raphinha will likely make Arsenal the last option.

I think this way will only burden Man United and you can say it is an internal problem from Barcelona which should be resolved by themselves before they sell him to Man United because if there is a dispute like that it will cause all transfers to be delayed until the transfer of the player is cancelled. Eriksen is still recovering from the injury he suffered last season so I think it was a big gamble when he took Eriksen to Man United.

Arsenal are on the look out for a left back as back up option for Tierney.The player is always prone to injury,and as such,Arsenal really need someone that can deputise for him when he is injured and create a positive impact on the team as well.Several names have been mentioned,but a name that continuously  been linked to the emirate is Matinez of Ajax.The left back is very versatile and will be a very good cover to Tierney.But It seems the player will be making a move to old Trafford where he will reunute with his old boss.

It's unlikely he will go to Man United, because recently Man United have reached agreement with Tyrell Malacia, so I think united are not so focus on defenders. Arsenal have hope of reaching agreement with Lisandro Martinez, good plan choose Martinez
By the way, how is the news of Alvaro Morata going? Previously Arteta had intend to take him to Arsenal, but what happened was not Morata, but Gabriel Jesus, who was officially in Arsenal's uniform.

I won't compared Leicester city Maguire to Manchester City Ake that doesn't even start games. Maguire was another beast while he was at Leicester city but Manchester united cause brought out the worst in him. Even as he's experiencing his worst form, the difference is still clear when he plays for the england national team and him playing for Manchester united, he doesn't make those silly mistakes.

I think Chelsea going for Ake is just because other defensive players transfer aren't looking like it'll be successful. Assuming he was a priority, would have negotiated a deal as we were also negotiating that of sterling. He isn't worth that much I don't understand why Manchester City is placing that much fee on him when they aren't broke like Barcelona.

Yeah, I quite agree with you, but Ake wasn't a regular starter for Man City more due to Guardiola's heavy rotation policy, but he still played as many as 14 games in the Premier League and 6 games in the Champions, I think those are greater numbers if you look the number of CB Guardiola had in his possession, Ake was regular starter for Bournemouth for 3-4 years, and he played whole 38 matches in two consecutive seasons for Bournemouth before moving the City, that should indicated how good he his and the experience his gather for those years would have also made a more complete payer.

[Pandu Geddon]

even the offer of 55 million pounds given by Chelsea has been approved by Leeds. But unfortunately Raphinha is more interested in joining

Raphinha's interest in Barcelona is also quite high. that means when Barcelona and Leeds will make a transfer deal. then Barcelona will get the player. but we know Barcelona have not recovered with their finances. at least Barcelona can match the offer given by Chelsea. or maybe they could negotiate some other advantage Leeds could get.

Ake isn't a really good Back players, that's why Guardiola didn't list him as the regular starter. He just a substitute player or only placed if Manchester City face a weak club, so they didn't need their best players to play. Oleksandr Zinchenko, Aymeric Laporte, Ruben Dias, and Joao Cancelo are Back players who often listed as regular starter, it's hard to replace them since they were so good.

Assuming he was a priority, would have negotiated a deal as we were also negotiating that of sterling. He isn't worth that much I don't understand why Manchester City is placing that much fee on him when they aren't broke like Barcelona.

Chelsea is lack of Back players, so Manchester City force Chelsea to pay them with higher amount since Chelsea doesn't have any choice. Not really sure how many Back players they want, but they seems will sign Kounde soon, if they need 2 players, we can expect Ake or De Ligt.

the transfer of Steven Bergwijn from tottenham hotspur to ajax amsterdam is now official and thus the successor to the new dortmund player sebastien haller is found. the dutch international striker signed with current champions ajax until the summer of 2027 and costs a base transfer fee of €31.25 million. S. Bergwijn already played in the youth for ajax amsterdam, then for psv eindhoven

This is also meant to be really helpful for the player as well because he will get more playtime at Ajax. I think it was a smart transfer for the player as well as for his former team Tottenham. Tottenham is making a lot of big changes in the main team heading into the next season. I am glad to see that they are also thinking about balancing the money that they have. Bergwijn should be able to play really well for Ajax. As he has already experienced playing in the youth team for Ajax. But I do feel like the fee was a little bit high.

If we talk about Cristiano Ronaldo not being able to take Manchester United to the Champions League, of course we have to see how Manchester United works as a whole. We cannot say that Ronaldo is not on par with a club with such team performance. It's very difficult for any player to do something extraordinary at Manchester United like last season.

I agree that Ronaldo is not the problem and can't be blame for what happened to Manchester United, for a player who played for #6 team he is on the top 3 scorers so I believe he did his best. But I also think that signing Ronaldo is not a wise choice for Chelsea, he is aged and too expensive for Chelsea, Ronaldo should be their last option.

Actually, in this case, Ronaldo's price can be said to be quite cheap at the moment, but his current salary is quite large, which makes the club that wants to sign him think again about it.
Ronaldo's current salary at Manchester United is 385,000 pounds and this is a sizeable salary that is even on the list of players who receive the biggest salaries in football.
But there are indeed some reports that say that as long as Ronaldo plays for the Champions League then he is indeed willing to take a pay cut.
