⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[1kodumtek7]

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.

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

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.

There are now multiple sources confirming Raphinha to Barcelona is done deal. However last Romano reported was that Leeds are still waiting for them to make official bid as they verbally have met the expected tag that Leeds are hoping for in order to allow Raphinha to leave. It will be a very great signing for Barcelona as they will get a good winger who can really become a problem for opponents.

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.

I believe one of the reasons De Jong chose to stay was because Barcelona are still a team that plays in the Champions League. Manchester United didn't, and that led to Ronaldo asking him to be sold.

In addition, De Jong also strongly feels that Xavi is a coach who will allow him to develop to the maximum at Barcelona and because of that I think he is starting to think about staying at Barcelona. De Jong is an important player in Xavi's scheme of play, so he will probably be guaranteed to play all season unless his form drops.

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?

Speculation about De Jong departure from Barcelona to Manchester United continues to circulate. The Red Devils fans' biggest hope is that De Jong cooperation with Erik ten Hag, which was once established at Ajax, can happen again at Old Trafford. De Jong has reportedly informed the family of his desire to remain in Catalonia.

If De Jong leaves Barcelona and joins Manchester United, then he will not play in the European Champions League. This means that De Jong has already buried the dream of playing in Europe biggest competition next season.
A professional football player who has dreams of achieving achievements, he must have the courage to make decisions regarding the future and Barcelona can make it happen.

De Jong is currently in a difficult position, all this time De Jong has continued to insist that he really wants to stay at Barcelona, ​​but Barcelona's deteriorating financial condition forced him to move to Manchester United, even though his transfer later may not make him happy because he has to play in the european league, but in my opinion that it is still much better than staying at a club that is experiencing financial problems, indeed manchester united will play in the european league next season but in my opinion the european league is not a league that is too bad.

Raphinha is going to Barcelona according to Fabrizio Romano, big price.

[Tony116]

Ajax have told Manchester United to improve their offer of 43m euros if they want to sign Argentina centre-back Lisandro Martinez. Martinez is a very good footballer, but is he really worth that much?

United have been approached to sign Paulo Dybala as a potential replacement for Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo, 37, who wants to leave Old Trafford this summer. The 28-year-old Argentina attacker is a free agent after leaving Juventus at the end of last season. Dybala as a replacement for Ronaldo? Is it a good exchange for Manchester?

Manchester United can spend 43 million on Lisandro Martinez as they need defensive players in the team but I really don't think he is worth that much money. I really hope Manchester United keeps the offer of around €35 million maximum.

I actually feel that Dybala could be a viable substitution for Cristiano Ronaldo at Manchester United. I think this player will be able to adapt to the style of Manchester United if Cristiano Ronaldo does leave the club.

[BITCOIN4X]

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.

Manchester United's hopes with Pogba have not completely failed, it's not Pogba's fault but it is clear that management must be responsible for the team's poor performance so far. The change of a number of coaches makes the players feel uncomfortable because each coach has a different way of giving the training portion to his players. This makes the players feel unable to give their best and that is why Manchester United's performance has never been as good as expected.

Now Ten Hag has a chance and he can also be fired if he can't change the team better than before. This is what makes it difficult for Manchester United to return to peak performance because their trust in the coach does not last long.

[MinoRaiola]

An example of how financially strong small clubs in England. The 21 year young Nathan Collins has moved from FC Burnley to Wolverhampton Wanderes for 24.30 million euros, but he only has a market value of 10 million euros. In 2020 the Wanderers surprised with a 40 million euro transfer, that was the 17 year young Fabio Silva. Another nie player Hee-chan Hwang from RB Leipzig came for 16.7 million euros and I think the Wanderers will have some more money to spend. Joao Moutinho, for example, is 35 years old and there play in the midfield.

We can see it, even though Barcelona is in a financial crisis but seeing the potential for success is also not too doubtful. Barcelona still has strengths that can arise at any time, competent young players, a level of intelligence in managing the game, and now can be a turning point for Barcelona to recover. De Jong does have to consider his decision very well. I still have high hopes that next season Barcelona can show significant recovery. This is just a twist to get off to a more profitable start.

So far good things continue to be done by Barcelona to improve the situation of his team. They managed to get some new players during the transfer window and that's a good thing about how the team is struggling to get out of this crisis. They still care about the team's performance even though they are experiencing a bad financial crisis, I really appreciate the hard work of this team so far.

There are good hopes with Xavi at Barcelona and for his first season he has proven his quality and coaching ability. I hope Barcelona can be relied on this season because I believe they can do it even with the current squad.

Due to the financial situation of Barcelona, we would assume with all the transfers that Real Madrid is in a financial crisis, not Barcelona...

Yesterday Barcelona had reached an agreement to make De Jong stay and he also agreed to a pay cut, but today there is news to the contrary about Barcelona reaching an agreement to sell De Jong, this must be very confusing. This makes me have to ignore more rumors because actually not many of them are credible enough so far.

[kro55]

snip
Barcelona have matched the £60m offer, including add-ons, put forward by Chelsea for Leeds United and Brazil attacker Raphinha. Will this offer be enough for Raphinha to choose Barcelona?
Dutch midfielder Frenkie de Jong, 25, has his heart set on remaining at Barcelona and will reject Manchester United. So, after all the talk of leaving, Jong is still staying at the club?
Juventus are aware of negotiations between the agents of Matthijs de Ligt and Bayern Munich but the Serie A giants have yet to receive an opening bid for the 22-year-old Netherlands defender, who has also been linked to Chelsea. Lots of interested clubs. What will Matthijs de Ligt decide in the end?

I really don't understand how Barcelona is able to offer 60 million for a player right now considering that they are not in a healthy financial situation. I really hope that the statement of Bayern Munich, and Barcelona not being a club at all in three or four years, does not come true.

De Jong needs to take a pay cut, as far as I know, to stay in Barcelona but I don't think he has agreed to that term at all. So, I am still doubtful that he is willing to stay in Barcelona after all.

The de Ligt situation is still quite open and anything can happen. I am hesitant to wait and see how this thing transpires.

[Sterbens]

Now Ten Hag has a chance and he can also be fired if he can't change the team better than before. This is what makes it difficult for Manchester United to return to peak performance because their trust in the coach does not last long.

Always doing the same after Sir Alex departure, the coach who replaced him did not last long. I wonder more and more, is the mismatch problem with the coach or the players themselves not being relied on to perfect strategy? because that also applies to Erik Ten Hag who threatened him when he failed one season ago and had to leave with the same fate.

[Harkorede]

There are now multiple sources confirming Raphinha to Barcelona is done deal. However last Romano reported was that Leeds are still waiting for them to make official bid as they verbally have met the expected tag that Leeds are hoping for in order to allow Raphinha to leave. It will be a very great signing for Barcelona as they will get a good winger who can really become a problem for opponents.

It's pretty much a done deal already Goal.com and Farbrizio Romano confirmed it a few hours ago that the an agreement have been reached, the deal is said to be worth €58 Million fixed, with some other add ons that could make the total be as much as €67 Million. I like the the signing of Raphinha, I'd say I was at first not so into it due the amount of options Barcelona have in attack, but Adama Traore have already returned Wolves and Luuk De Jong also left for PSV, there's pretty much some available position he might have to fight for especially since Dembele also renewed his contract with Barça for two additional 2 years. After spending this much already, I guess we can all forget about Lewandowski to Barça this season, except there will be some more other players to leave.
