⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Coyster]

Spurs' ultimate goal next season will be at least to finish in the top three and reach the semifinals of the Champions League.

I'm afraid neither of that will be possible in my opinion, Spurs can't make it to the CL Semi Final, i know they got to the Final couple of seasons ago, but they definitely can't get lucky twice, as for finishing in the top three in the EPL, that as well is very unlikely. Spurs will be contenders for fourth position yet again, and they will be competing with the likes of Arsenal and United again i am sure, remember Arsenal have strengthened their team too, United have a new manager and they will buy new players soon; so Spurs aren't going to have it easy, they could miss out of a top four spot altogether next season, that is very possible.

'the guardian' and 'telegraph', among others, report that in addition to Serge Gnabry (bayern munich), who has not yet extended his contract in munich, which expires in summer 2023, fc chelsea also have Raphael Leao from italian serie a champions ac milan on their books. the portuguese international's contract is still valid until summer 2024

I would like Arsenal to re-sign Serge Gnabry because Arsenal are the only team that will come to mind when it comes to a move to England. Although Chelsea and Manchester United are interested in signing him, which I am sure will not be a sure deal for the guy, the main issue that may arise in the case of Arsenal is a lack of funds to afford him.

It doesn't look like this will happen, De Jong's purchase will be difficult at a price of 85 million, this is a fairly high price for a player who doesn't have a big name yet, not because Manchester United can't afford it and don't have the money to buy it, but rather the value of a player who has not been proven individually.
This speculation could change, if Barcelona really want to release De Jong, because as far as I know, Barcelona still wants to keep the player next season, the sale clause is only offered if Barcelona is profitable, there is a barter of other players as a substitute and the club's financial benefits

Yesterday i read a statement of De Jong that he definitely wants to stay at FC Barcelona, so if this statement is true then i think that there is almost zero chance that he will go to Manchester United this summer. I also have to say it is pretty weird to see that Manchester United has such a hard time to get the players that they want. I mean ten years ago or so ManU was definitely one of the top 3 clubs world wide while they were still under Alex Ferguson and now it seems they are hardly in the top 10 anymore, which is very weird to me. I think it needs a lot of hard work and also a little bit of luck and also time to get ManU back where they once were.

Spurs' ultimate goal next season will be at least to finish in the top three and reach the semifinals of the Champions League. They are making some big changes in the team and I don’t expect that will be very challenging. I think the coach is obviously going to appreciate the amount of money that he was given to make these changes. After spending all this money the expectations are also going to be high from Tottenham. I think this team is on track to perform very well. Obviously not at the level of Manchester City in my opinion but they will not have too many problems competing against teams like Arsenal or Chelsea.

It was too big and too tall if they had a target like this.
For the top 3 positions in the EPL, they still have a chance, especially with their performance this season which is quite good.
But to reach the semi-final position in UCL is not an easy target, especially in this case the Champions is not a friendly place.
to qualify for the Play off Phase is still possible, but for the semi-finals this is too high for them.

Obviously you read all this in some virtual place or from the discussion of the most unrealistic Barca fans.
the facts are not on Barcelona's side at all, there is very little chance that De Jong will stay. Barcelona is on the verge of bankruptcy and they don't have money to pay expensive players. They already have a huge debt towards the player ^FdJ and all this delay is just an attempt to include that debt in the transfer.

Bayern doesn't want to sell the player to them on deferred payment, because they don't believe that Barcelona ^{on this way} can survive for another two years...

in some normal times, Barcelona wouldn't think about selling currently their best player. now they are selling him because he is the only one in which someone is interested and who can bring them a slightly more serious amount of money.

Chelsea is consider signing Serge Gnabry from Bayern Munich after their purported bid to sign Raphinha won't scale through, Raphinha had shown interest in joining Barcelona, meanwhile Hakim Ziyech is a forcing a move to AC Milan where he will be guaranteed a regular playing time thus leaving Chelsea with few options upfront.
Chelsea had made some enquiries with Bayern in a bid to table an offer worth £45m for Gnabry they needed more attacking options in their attack with Raheem Sterling already in the club a player like Serge Gnabry is equally a very a attacking option.

Manchester United are doing all they can to finalize the Frenkie de Jong deal for themselves. They agreed upon the transfer fee as far as I know and they were discussing the add-ons after that. They might really be close to happy ending now. Laporta said before that Frenkie de Jong was still happy to be part of the team. However he doesn't seem like he is opposing to this transfer too. Barcelona are going to have much work to do in case they sell him. On the other hand this transfer is going to help them raise funds significantly too of course.

This Frankie de Jong deal has dragged on for sooo longggg and I don't this transfer will be happening,  whatever happened at Manchester that such deals take this long... its either the scouts aren't doing a good job or it's the fans that keep speculating on such transfers which aren't anywhere from being signed.

De Jong transfer process is very complicated, Manchester United as the party who wants to bring De Jong has not been able to reach an agreement with Barcelona. Manchester United reasoned that Barcelona's asking price was too high, in my opinion it was reasonable, because De Jong's contribution to Barcelona was very good. Another reason is because Barcelona still wants to continue his togetherness with De Jong, he also doesn't want to leave Barcelona in the near future. Manchester United must immediately look for other players as an alternative to De Jong, because their efforts with Barcelona have been deadlocked.

But some rumors are swirling around that United has talked to the Barca brass and has agreed terms.  There was even a write up somewhere that De Jong was disgusted with the move.  Not sure if true or if football journos just want more engagement by sensationalizing the whole thing.  Lol.

Anyway some early signs that it could be another season of pain for United under their new manager...  Ten Hag made Maguire the captain to the fans' dismay.  The dressing room wasn't happy too as they've been pushing for De Gea to be their captain.

I also predict Tottenham will not want to let Kane go in the transfer market this summer. because the contribution of kane and Son last season was extraordinary where Tottenham was able to pass arsenal at the end of the season and tottenham was able to occupy the 4th position when the competition ended. So the tottenham board members will definitely not sell their star and they will keep kane no matter what. Moreover, Conte and Kane have a pretty good harmony of course the coach will ask him to stay with Tottenham next season.

Tottenham Hotspur play on Champion League next season and they never try to sell Harry Kane as most important player under Antonio Conte era, I think he will become regular central forward for Tottenham Hotspur. I think sell Harry Kane to Bayern Munich have bad reputation and for Spurs after last season Manchester City have make fantastic values. Keep on Antonio Conte scheme why Harry Kane is not for selling until his contract over with Spurs. I think usually England player dislike have to leave primer league because all of them not reach good career when playing on other league.

It is very likely that Raphinha will soon join Barcelona, ​​even though Leeds has actually agreed to an offer from Chelsea. The problem is
that Raphinha is more interested in joining Barcelona, ​​and it is also reported that Raphinha has reached a personal agreement with Barcelona.
Now Raphinha is urging Leeds to immediately complete the negotiation process with Barcelona over the transfer fee issue. This means that
Chelsea's chances are actually very small to get Raphinha, so Chelsea are looking for other players, and according to rumors emerged the names
Serge Gnabry and Rafael Leao.

In which the two players do have a game that is almost similar to Raphinha. But it seems to get Leao is very difficult, because Leao is a key player
for AC Milan and AC Milan also has no intention of selling Leao. The most reasonable by bringing in Serge Gnabry, because his contract only has one
season left. And Bayern have also allowed Serge Gnabry to look for a new club, Bayern are reportedly asking for a price of 45 million pounds if Chelsea
are serious about signing Serge Gnabry. Which price should not be a problem for Chelsea, I think Serge Gnabry is also very suitable for Chelsea's game.
So hopefully Serge Gnabry's move to Chelsea will be realized in the near future.

United have already agreed to this amount (and I can't say that it is any particularly large - if you pay attention, a lot of promising players now worth about 100 million) it's all up to De Jong now, but leaks say he's changed his mind about leaving. An extremely strange decision, Barcelona cannot even pay him the salary that he has already worked ... why stay in a crisis club?

Although Chelsea and Manchester United are interested in signing him, which I am sure will not be a sure deal for the guy, the main issue that may arise in the case of Arsenal is a lack of funds to afford him.

As far as I know arsenal this season has a big enough budget to buy players and even reportedly the arsenal owner has allocated around 215 million pounds for buy player, the problem with arsenal getting gnabry doesn't seem to be money, but from some media what I read, Arteta is not at all interested in bringing Gnabry returned to the Emirates Stadium at this time, currently Arsenal are still looking for a winger to sharpen their attack line but I don't think Gnabry will be reuniting with Arsenal next season.

De Jong no longer wants Manchester United move as reported. But Manchester United fans are eager to see him with the club. Xavi on the other side has plans for De Jong as he will be part of the Barcelona squad as he chooses to play Champions League football over Europa league. Ajax player Larturo Martinez has he's move for the premier league. Manchester United and Arsenal are the both sides moving for the young talent.

[Nasuhalugu]

after the departures of A. Rüdiger (real madrid) and A. Christensen (fc barcelona), fc chelsea is reportedly interested in napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly and offers the italian club a transfer fee of €40 million

Chelsea contacted Koulibaly's representatives early in the summer when he expressed a desire to go to west London, and now speculation over a transfer for the 31-year-old is picking up speed.
Kalidou Koulibaly, a center-back, is a target for Chelsea after Napoli stated they did not want their player to move to Serie A rivals Juventus.

In my opinion, there is no benefit for De Jong to accept an offer from United. he will only waste the opportunity to play in the UCL with Barcelona. After all, Xavi was quite successful with Barcelona in his first season as Barcelona coach, if he stays with Barcelona, he has a chance to make history for the Catalan legend by winning the La Liga title. With MU, what can be expected? just a chance to Play with Ronaldo. LOL
If he really wants to leave, I believe he will choose other club.

Barcelona might have met Leeds' asking price for Raphinha finally. There are rumours like they have reached an agreement for 65 million pounds. Moreover Barcelona can sell Frenkie de Jong from now on to raise funds also. Manchester United have already been highly interested in signing him so I expect this deal to be finalized soon. Barcelona will need a midfielder too then but I hope they have thought of some alternatives for him already. Because Frenkie de Jong is an important part of the team now.

[Jackl87]

I also heard about this rumor today and that whole Koulibaly case could be very important for other transfers too. I read that Koulibaly is also the favorite of Juventus Turin and they are really trying everything to get him. If Juve is able to sign Koulibaly, then this also means that they have a replacement for De Ligt who could then go to Bayern Munich. This would probably mean then, that Bayern is more willing to let Lewandowski go to FC Barcelona, because Juventus probably wants around 60-70 Million € for De Ligt and if Bayern would get 50 Million € + for Lewandowski then this would definitely be a big help for them.

I hope his second spell in Juventus wouldn't be anything like his time in United, even though his failure in Manchester United was partly his fault; i can understand why Juve fans are excited by this move, Paul was quite good when he played for them in his first spell, so they are expecting the same, the fan base i'm quite sure wouldn't admire Pogba even the slightest bit would be United fans, they expected so much from the French man, but he was nothing close to their expectations. Having said that, for the sake of Pogba's career, i do hope he rediscovers his form and commitment to football, he definitely has the talent, but that sometimes isn't enough, he needs to add hardwork, discipline, desire, etc to his game in order to take his career to the next level.

Juventus fans understand that Paul Pogba has many advantages so that the return of Paul Pogba to Juventus is like a longing that is fulfilled. Pogba will feel different when playing in Turin because under pressure at Manchester United he was the most expensive when recruited from Juventus.
In 2017, Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard once praised the extraordinary figure of Pogba who was able to develop well even under pressure as MU's most expensive player at that time. According to Gerrard, Pogba has a good pass. Pogba's strength can help United defend and threaten through free-kick techniques.
Along with his later journey at Juventus, he must change the habits that are often done at Manchester United, don't go forward too often because it will make it difficult for his teammates in midfield.

Pogba is going to be an invaluable asset for Juventus.

You're right. Paul Pogba will be a valuable Juventus asset who could add Bianconeri midfield creativity to help Massimiliano Allegri clinch the scudetto again.

Juventus played it really well because they did not spend too much money and they got some promising players. They acquired two excellent free transfer players, Paul Pogba and Angel Di Maria.

Pogba was sold to Manchester United for a heavy price and regained on a free transfer. If it is linked to business, returning to Juventus on a free transfer is a loss for Manchester United and a benefit for Juventus.

I am actually looking a lot more balanced than I did last season. And the fans being excited about the next season is very much justifiable. I am expecting a good performance from them in the next season. It's just a matter of hoping that all the players find their form quickly and that Juventus also starts the next season much better than last time.

Paul Pogba and Angel Di Maria don't seem to me to take long to find their best form of play at Juventus. As former Juventus player Andrea Barzagli put it "Pogba and Maria will make Juventus even greater".

Aston Villa are also active in the transfer market after they've complete the loan deal with Sevilla for Ludwig Augustinsson. The deal was a lucrative one and buy option was also triggered in the contract. Steven Gerrard will definitely take Villa to the next level if given the chances and space to get who ever he wants in the market. Aston Villa squad is good at the moment but they were battling to fill in the space of Jack Grealish which they sold to Manchester city. Although their Frontlines and defense is still very much in shape, with Watkins leading the Frontlines and their tough captain who's their defender, Tyrone Mings. With this present squad, they can still push for titles in next season.

To be honest, I don't have too many expectations from Aston Villa in the next season. I think they will be able to finish in the top 10 if they are playing really well but if they even make any type of mistake, they are not even close to being able to finish in the top 10 and they will be a mid-table team but their standing is not going to be very respectable. 

Aston Villa will have a really tough time in the English Premier League next season as things are getting harder and more competitive. They finished 14th in the last season and I don't expect any drastic improvement from them in the upcoming season.

Finally, it seems that the soap around Frenkie de Jong is coming to an end. We have read today that it is basically all settled between Man United and Barcelona. And that only de Jong himself can block the transition if he does not want to go to United. but United have a better team than Barcelona at the moment and moreover he can work together with Erik ten Hag, who made Frenkie play fantastic football at Ajax. Seems like a pretty easy choice when you look at it that way.
