⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[EdenHazard]

Juventus will fly to the US during this week, they will play there 3-4 games before the start of the season.

According to rumors, the players who will not leave Italy are DeLigt and Arthur, these 2 players are probably close to be sold.

De ligt are indeed wanted to leave juventus and bayern welcome him through an intense contact with oliver khan to close the deal as soon as possible,  just a matter of time...  It's jut sad for me to see de ligt choose bayern over chelsea.

But hey we have got koulibaly tho,  a great wall as well as him.

Manchester United still haven't completed the Frenkie de Jong transfer. They are said to have reached an agreement for him actually but it is not official yet. The deal is said to be around 85 million euros in total. This is really huge for them and it can help Barcelona's budget become in a better condition after two big signings. Manchester United also need a midfielder like him after Pogba has left.

Agreement between both club's but the player has refused to admit he wants to move to Manchester United. Most Manchester United fan will be exhausted with the current decisions of the player. They now rather see am alternative player come in than waiting till the window market ends. Manchester United completed the transfer for the third time this season a player from Ajax who knows how to play the vision of Erik Ten Hag. Manchester United now needs a sticker and another right back.

Currently, it seems that it is just a matter of waiting for De Jong's willingness to move because there has been an agreement between Barcelona and MU, apparently after MU raised the price for the release clause.
In the end, it's back to De Jong whether he will still insist on Barcelona or a reunion with Ten Hag. IMO if I were De Jong I would try something new by making the decision to move on from Barcelona.

The price is quite big indeed but ManU needs de Jong for their midfield and Barcelona needs the money to cover the expenses of the recently signed players and for their pay check too. Barca is the one profiting the most from this transfer window and ManU is having many issues to bring players to reinforce their squad.

Bayern could cover that after Lewandowski deal. These money will be used to fill the gap in Juve after the departure of De ligt and Chiellini..

Did they really sell their TV rights? I mean that is literally a huge chunk of income they had, if they gave away the income, and spent that money, then how do they plan on keep going? At the end of the day they are going to end up with basically nothing right? No income, pure spending, that money will run out, and they will be back to where they are AND not have income as well. Now, at least they had income but debt, in the future they will have no income and still have debt. I do not know whats going to happen, but if they keep this up then they are going to be a team that will like get relegated to another lower league for financial issues.

I'm not sure if they did sell their TV rights but as things look it seems they did cause I don't seem to be able to trace the source of their financial strength in the transfer market this summer. They have been able to complete four or five new signings this summer which wouldn't be possible with the financial crisis they are facing at the club so it looks very likely that they sold their TV rights, it's not even as if they sold some high value players to raise funds.

I agree with you, Oliver Kahn has on several occasions denied that Bayern Munich are not interested in the 37-year-old, who scored 24 goals in 38 games in all competitions for United last season.
So far Kahn has always talked about age but not the qualities a forward has in terms of scoring goals, I think Ronaldo is still capable of competing for the top scorer title.

Well i generally agree that primarily we should not talk about the age of the players but only about the quality of the players and i think in terms of quality there is no doubt that Cristiano Ronaldo is still a high class player and an effective striker. The big problem is that Cristiano Ronaldo is earning around 30 M € per year at Manchester United and i would guess that he also wants to earn that kind of money if he is going to a new club. Bayern would also need to pay a transfer fee for him as he still has a contract at ManU until the end of next season. So Bayern would have to pay at least around 50 M€ or so to sign Cristiano Ronaldo for 1 season. That is just way to much for a player that is already 37 years old.

I agree, it's all about the money, but also a bit about the team. There were talks about MLS or Arabic teams that offered Ronaldo a ton of money for example and yet they still disagreed on that as well. This means Ronaldo not only wants teams that would be in UCL but also pay nearly 30 million to him, or maybe a bit less. If another team offers a lot less, or offers from non-UCL teams then it wouldn't matter, he is already in Europa anyway.

This is their problem and that won't go away. Bayern paid a lot less to players like Mane, who are younger and could provide more, why offer Ronaldo more? Maybe financially they could recoup it, but it is a risk that they weren't willing to take.

Transfer rumours:

Bayern Munich sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic has again reiterated the German club's stance on Cristiano Ronaldo, 37, by ruling out a move for the Manchester United and Portugal forward. Can we trust him to tell the truth about Ronaldo?  
Manchester City have no intention of selling Portugal midfielder Bernardo Silva to Barcelona this summer, with manager Pep Guardiola still viewing the 27-year-old as an important part of his plans next season. So there will be no agreement between Barcelona and Manchester regarding Silva?
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has told the club's hierarchy to continue their attempts to sign 25-year-old Dutch midfielder Frenkie de Jong from Barcelona - even if he has not joined them by the start of their season on 7 August. Interesting situation. The clubs have already agreed on everything, but the player does not want to leave. How will this end in the end?
Barcelona have named De Jong in their squad for a pre-season tour in the United States. Does this mean that Barcelona gave up on his transfer to Manchester?
Juventus are in contact with Atletico Madrid about signing 29-year-old Spain striker Alvaro Morata, who returned to the Spanish club in the summer following the end of a two-year loan spell at the Serie A side. Juve have done a very good job this summer and have strengthened their squad for the new season.

Whether or not Bayern Munich are interested in Christiano Ronaldo, the new manager, Erik Ten Hag has made it clear that Ronaldo is not for sale and he is part of his plans for the coming season. Even if Manchester city are willing to let Bernardo Silva leave I don't see Barcelona being able to seal that deal with the limited funds at their disposal until maybe the sale of Frankie De jong which is still not clear whether or not he will leave the club this summer cause as things stand he is listed in the squad for pre season games.

Erik Ten Hag would like to keep Ronaldo. However, I do have my reservations about it. He hasn't shown up at a few meetings and training sessions. There are now a lot of clubs that would like to have him. But where are you going then? I think it's also an important aspect that he won't be able to play in the Champions League again this year, while Ronaldo is hungry for even more trophies. If united Champions League were playing it would have been very different. City also want him but Alex Ferguson didn't think that was a good idea last year

[Pokapoka124]

manchester united has brought in Lisandro Martinez, the desired reinforcement for the defense. the argentine follows his coach Erik ten Hag from ajax amsterdam to the reds. an agreement in principle on the transfer has been reached (€57 million and an additional €10 million in performance-based bonuses), but the obligatory medical check is still pending...

Erik Ten Hag as well as his his management team and the fans will finally exhale breathe of fresh after getting this deal across the line. Lisandro Martinez has been a target for quite a long time with number of bids turned down for the Argentine star player and they finally got to agree on transfer fees with Ajax, I can't vouch for him as some players coming to the league from abroad term to flop and some fit in immediately, it will be a 50:50 chance of success for Manchester United.

[Franctoshi]

As Chelsea FC continues to ensure that his squad gets leveled up with other top premier league Clubs competitors with their recent signings, Chelsea seem to be in a direct talks with the Paris Sant German side over the possible signing of PSG 26-year-old defender Presnel Kimpembe,
Chelsea is making all necessary efforts they could do to ensure that his team is fully ready for the next season premier league that is coming up soon. In case Chelsea succeed in buying this player, I do think that he would be like Rudiger and Chelsea's backline will get  stronger even more than before.
In the completion of this deal, Then I would have no choice than to give Chelsea FC a thumps up for they are indeed doing credibly well in this transfer market business.

More info about the sale of DeLigt from Juventus to Bayern.

He will have a salary of 12m € until 2027.

Juventus will earn 80-85m € with bonuses.

[Pokapoka124]

Dybala is a free agent meaning he's currently out of contract with Juventus and has no club. He will be open to opportunities at the time and whether he chooses to join Roma will depend on his priorities, if he wants Champions league football then Roma would be out of consideration because they won't be playing in the champions league next season but he might be assured of more playing time at Roma if he prioritize getting playing time so as i said it all goes down to his priorities in making a move.

[Alanaz]

Even though Lewandowski left, in this case Bayern were not too interested in bringing Ronaldo and indeed the news about Ronaldo that surfaced again after Lewa left was immediately rejected by Hasan Salihamidzic who still insisted he didn't need Ronaldo.
This is a pretty good thing actually in my opinion because with this they are focused because they really want to make Mane better now

I think not any space place for Cristiano Ronaldo in Bayern Munich although have losing with Robert Lewandowski, Bayern Munich not really interestwd try to get Cristiano Ronaldo maybe Julian Nagelsmann as Bayern manager not interested with Ronaldo style games play. Bayern Munich will try looking other player replacing position left by Lewandowski than have to get Ronaldo. Maybe age of Ronaldo have been 37 years old become considerationwhy Bayern Munich not interested to het Ronaldo. Will have new space on forward position for Bayern Munich, who the next Lewandowski and become tol scorer for Bayern?

True, Hasan salihamidzic said that they respect Ronaldo but that is no reason to be interested in Ronaldo and be made Lewandowski's replacement there.
This might be something new that Bayern want to show next season whether it will make Mane more flexible in front line or maybe make a surprise by bringing in one of the attackers there who is still a secret.

Lisandro Martinez's performance with Ajax was quite good. He has been able to perform his duties very well in the Ajax squad as a defender. And I believe he will do well with Manchester United. Another important point is that Lisandro Martinez is 24 years old. And since teams don't often change defenders, signing Lisandro Martinez could have serve Manchester United for a long time.

I still can't believe that Dybala is still without a team, who is waiting?
Does really no one wants him on his team? His salary should be around 6m €.

Does he have some hidden physical problems?

Did they really sell their TV rights? I mean that is literally a huge chunk of income they had, if they gave away the income, and spent that money, then how do they plan on keep going?

Is it about Barcelona? If indeed they are talking about Barcelona then this can indeed be considered true because they earned an additional €267 million with investment group Sixth Street by selling 10-15 percent of their La Liga broadcasting rights to this US firm.
This is nothing new because if you look at it actually this news has been around for quite a while and I know this from 2 weeks ago.

Agreed. There have only been some rumours about him recently and that's all. The most recent one is related to Roma as @Pokapoka124 also indicated. Roma seem serious about him as it seems so I hope they can finish up this deal. A skilled striker like Dybala shouldn't be left as free agent for a long time. Manchester United had some interest in him too but I don't know if they still keep this. They might need a striker also because Ronaldo might leave the team if he finds a fitting team for himself.

Juventus will earn 80-85m € with bonuses.

agreement has been reached. De Ligt will soon be at Bayern Munich for next season. Initially it was widely reported that De Ligt would join Chelsea, but in the end it was Bayern Munich who officially got him. De ligt with a good physique and quite strong strength when dueling with opponents, I think De ligt is very suitable to buy for €80m because Bayern can use him in long-term projects. Bayern munich will soon officially announce if all the requirements are complete. The recruitment carried out by Bayern Munich in the transfer market this summer was quite good after bringing in Sadio Mane from Liverpool, now Bayern have got De Ligt from Juventus.

We have an increasing rumors about Gabriel from Arsenal now.

Arthur may end in the deal (was close to Gunners in January)

In case Chelsea succeed in buying this player, I do think that he would be like Rudiger and Chelsea's backline will get  stronger even more than before.

Chelsea didn't start their transfer business too early, and quite a lot of people started to grumble, i'm sure no one is grumbling right now, Chelsea have scored important points in this transfer market with two major signings in the past week or so (Sterling and Koulibali). Chelsea haven't just signed makeshift players, they have acquired players that will be very pivotal in their quest to win as many titles as possible. Kimpembe will solidify their backline should they get him, they would be able to boast of three brilliant center backs ( in persons of T.Silva, Koulibali and Kimpembe), i do not know if PSG are willing to sell, i think their new manager has Kimpembe in his plans, but we will see.

Thus far, between City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs, and Chelsea, who has done the better business for themselves in this summer transfer window? Obviously United are still well behind.
