⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[nurilham]

I think the deal between Chelsea and RB Leipzig for Timo Werner have been struck already, It's just a matter of time for the official announcement, I don't know what amount fee was agreed on, but I strongly doubt RB Leipzig would be paying anything near the fortune which Chelsea paid to sign a couple of years ago, and Chelsea doesn't have any future plan for Werner, so it's only right that they get the best amount and between 20m-30m would be a great deal for them imo, instead of just having him on the bench and keeping his wages on the clubs obligation list.

Here is an update from Fabrizio about the deal; https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1556371414898311183?s=20

Yep, it seems both Chelsea and RB Leipzig have reached a deal about Timo Werner transfer. Sure, the transfer fees are probably around €20m - €30m, RB Leipzig may be interested to pay more. Once again, Chelsea has a bad habit, they sell a player at a cheaper price. After they waste Lukaku, now they let Werner leaves at a cheap price. Now, if Werner leaves, Chelsea only has 2 CF (Batshuayi and Broja), I don't think it is enough to have 2 weak CF only. If Chelsea can't sign a new top CF, I doubt Chelsea will lose a big power on their attacking line.

Barcelona have told Frenkie de Jong they want to annul his existing contract and return to the deal he was on before, alleging the terms given to him by the club’s previous board involved criminality and provide grounds for legal action against those involved.

After Chelsea returned Lukaku to Inter, it is now Werner's turn to be returned to Leipzig soon. Even though Chelsea bought Lukaku and Werner
at a high price, but now Chelsea loaned Lukaku to Inter and sold Werner cheaply to Leipzig. Of course this is very detrimental to Chelsea,
but by selling Werner, it is likely that Tuchel will temporarily make Sterling or Havertz a centre-forward. Because Armando Broja or Michy Batshuayi
can't be relied on as the main choice. Indeed, Chelsea should before the transfer window closes to bring in at least one experienced and quality striker.
If Chelsea only expect the current strikers it will be difficult for Chelsea to compete in the Premier League and also the Champions League.

Werner is just preparing to get what he wants finally. His being transferred by Chelsea was a big mistake from the beginning. His performance dropped so much that we have watched just a weak version of him so far. Returning to Leipzig would be helpful for him to start performing very well again. He is just one of the great strikers for the Bundesliga rather than the English Premier League.

He seems unhappy with tuchel plan and the way he treat him , i mean i remember when timo wanted to have an extra training session to get him better at finishinh & scoring goals , but tuchel says ... 'let it be , that kind ability will just come to you as time goes by ...' and i think timo has a lot of different opinions with tuchel coaching style.

I wish him the best at leipzig and we need a deadly striker right now!

Marcos Senesi, a highly regarded center back, was acquired by AFC Bournemouth from Feyenoord, bolstering their defense. Bournemouth has a four-year contract with him.

The Cherries have been busy bolstering their roster over the past week, securing deals for Barcelona goalkeeper Neto and Middlesbrough winger Marcus Tavernier. Early in July, Ryan Fredericks and Joe Rothwell both signed on free transfers.

Marcos Senesi, who recently earned his senior Argentine debut in June, has a fantastic chance to participate in the Qatar 2022 World Cup. He is already quite acquainted with European competition.

I think it is normal if Timo Werner is unhappy with Tuchel. Timo Werner has a big hope to improve his ability, but Tuchel underestimates him. If I were him, I also will be angry and suddenly ask for leaving Chelsea as soon as possible. It is very unfortunate how Tuchel treats Chelsea striker, it is totally a big mistake. 

I wish him the best at leipzig and we need a deadly striker right now!

I believe Werner will be shining again with Leipzig. A player can optimize his ability once he feels happy in a club, it can motivate him to do harder work. Let's see Warner plays better in Leipzig.

[X-ray]

Timo Werner is on the brink of signing for Leipzig indeed. He must be really about the recent news about that because Leipzig were a team that he was the most productive at in the past. It might be time for him to start playing like that again there. This transfer would add a significant amount of power to Leipzig at the same time. Their chance of fighting for the upper positions would increase by this move. I know that they already have quite many strikers but Werner is just different for them.

I hope so. His performance was decreasing a lot since he was playing on chelsea. I hope that played on his old club can bring timo another spirit to be the top scorer again. In my opinion if timo didn't suit with chelsea. There are so many players competing to get the line up starter.
Remember that lukaku was also playing so good in another club but he was playing bad once chelsea was buying back him again.
I have no doubt if the bad player in the chelsea can play so good in another club caused by the atmosphere much more suitable in the old club/ other chan chelsea.

Except there is something extra or exceptional that the technical team of RB Leipzig would do to him to make him extraordinary. His performance in Chelsea was not commendable. It was because of his underperformance that Chelsea had to buy Rumelu Lukaku to add vigor to the attack. Timo is a quality striker, he is still young and fast but he needs to improve on his positioning and finishing skills. He might be profitable as a winger but not as a top striker. Maybe RB Leipzig might bring back his lost glory

Timo Werner didn't just work out for Chelsea after they spent over £47m on him, and now he looks set to be heading back to his former club, Werner hasn't been at his best since moving to Chelsea, the both parties will definitely regret the initial transfer, but they will definitely be happy to part ways now, Werner might regain his lost form with this move, so i wish him all the best.

Having said that, i hope the exit of Werner opens the door for Chelsea to bring in a marksman before the transfer deadline, with Lukaku and Werner out of the club, they do not have any recognized striker, and if they are to challenge Liverpool and City for the title, they need a striker.

Werner's time at Chelsea has been largely disappointing, netting just 10 league goals in his two full seasons at the club. I think his relationship with Thomas Tuchel was an issue and also he wants to get regular game time to secure a starting spot in Germany team at the World Cup in November. Going back to Leipzig is a good one for him. I’m hopeful that Werner will rediscover his best form at Leipzig, a club that he flourished at the first time around.

Not a day goes by without new rumors on the transfer market. Timo Werner is said to be about to return to his old club Red Bull Leipzig. He wasn't very successful after moving from RBL, will he find his way back to his old form with his old club?

It seems like Timo Werner is one of those players that needs to feel comfortable and also needs to fell the total support of everyone in the club in order to be able to deliver his best performances and at the moment and also during the whole last season that was just not the case. I think he has a lot of potential as he is extremely fast. A transfer to Red Bull Leipzig could make sense in multiple ways i think. First of all Bayern is trying hard to get Konrad Laimer from Red Bull Leipzig and they will probably have to pay around 20 to 30 Million € for him and them Leipzig could use that money to buy Timo Werner. I don't know if they really need him because they already have Nkunku who is a very similar player but two good strikers are normally never to much.

I don't think they would pay 20 to 30 million for Werner, unfortunately he's not worth that much anymore due to his poor performance. If he comes back to RB Leipzig, I can very well imagine that he will find his way back to his old (good) performance.

Werner is definitely worth 20 million I would argue. I mean look at how the markets work these days and what a player a costs. If they can make him an 18-20 goals per season player again he is definitely worth the money. The even more interesting question is whether he is finding back to his old shape because that is what he needs to do given that there are already strong offenders in Leipzig!

After Chelsea signed Sterling, it seems that there is no place for Timo Werner anymore. After all, Werner's performance was not satisfactory during
his two seasons with Chelsea, so it would be a good move if Chelsea sold Werner to Leipzig. Werner has actually been in contact with Leipzig since
a month ago and according to rumors Werner has agreed to the contract offered by Leipzig. But only now have Chelsea and Leipzig reached
an agreement, even though Leipzig initially planned to borrow Werner from Chelsea. But suddenly the deal changed, Leipzig ended up buying
Werner permanently from Chelsea. Even Fabrizio Romano reported that next week Timo Werner will officially return to the Bundesliga by rejoining
Leipzig. I'm sure Werner will find his best game with Leipzig, because Werner before joining Chelsea played amazingly with Leipzig. But it will not
be easy for Werner to become a starter, because Werner must compete with Nkunku and Andre Silva who are always the first choice.

Yes it is a done deal by now. I think Chelsea really asked themselves why they should keep Werner on the salary list mid-term should he decide to return to Chelsea. Or maybe they would even have to give him away for free because his contract might expire. As far as I know Werner had a pretty impressive salary at Chelsea so their maths really seemed to be to cross him off that list AND also get some transfer fee. The fee has probably been much lower than what they bought him for, but still it is a "win" for them given they have signed Sterling.

I am excited to see whether or not he can get back to his level he was at when he left Germany. That decision was very puzzling back at the time because he left at a point in time when Red Bull was well underway in the Champions League. He waived the chance to play in some pretty big games, which is crazy at his point in the career back then.

Anyway, let's see how things enfold for him over the coming weeks.

Werner will return to Germany to undergo a medical and sign a contract to rejoin RB Leipzig, Werner return to RB Leipzig is a potential destination, Leipzig agreed to take Werner back on a permanent basis after two years of his move to Chelsea. Warner is considered to have failed to make a good contribution to Chelsea after a disappointing performance by scoring 23 goals and 21 assists in 89 appearances in all competitions.
Werner has agreed to a substantial pay cut in order to get playing time for another team, he must develop his potential by guaranteeing regular appearances with a new club in preparation for the World Cup later this year.

Barcelona have told Frenkie de Jong they want to annul his existing contract and return to the deal he was on before, alleging the terms given to him by the club’s previous board involved criminality and provide grounds for legal action against those involved.

I think it's quite complicated and dramatic at the same time. When De Jong just joined Barcelona 3 years ago he is hailed like a hero, but now, he is considered a burden who must be kicked out no matter what. One thing that bothers me, even though Barcelona no longer consider De Jong to be part of their squad but what is the reason that makes De Jong insist on staying at Barcelona? I don't think it's a wage debt that has not been paid by Barcelona because both Man United and Chelsea have offered that settlement.

Rumour is Juventus already get Eintracht Frankfurt player Filip Kostic and reported both of teams has been deal and will finished the final detail about this transfer and Juventus have to spend 15 millions euro as a fee but i don't know Kostic is good recruitment or not because as forward player his goals records is not too impressive even last season he only score 4 goals from 31 matches in Bundesliga and i fear this could be panic buying from Juventus because Allegri want this player arrived to Juventus before Serie A matches started

[1kodumtek7]

Filip Kostic deal is almost done for Juventus indeed. Juventus would make use of a decent left winger now and Kostic is a really good candidate for that. He has performed really impressively at Frankfurt so far. He can contribute strongly to Juventus with his goals and assists both. He shouldn't be considered as old as well because he is 29 years old. I don't know if they would find a better left winger now but this is still a good move right before the season starts.

Indeed a panic buying because many Juventus's good players are injured and most of them expected return on the next month, since Serie A will started next week, so he need a good players to substitute them. Filip Kostic can be a good choice, but he's performance is just not stable and he's a midfielder, not forward player. I'm not expect a midfielder will become the top scorers since his main job is to create many chance for his teammates to score a goal.

He's a top assist, that's make sense why Juventus really want him.

I'm really sorry and wondering about Flip Kostic's transfer to Juventus, even though they still have a lot of choices at left-back, Alex sandro, Luca and Cuadrado can still be used,
I'd prefer if Juventus bought a creative midfielder or bought a winger, it seems that Juventus suffered successive defeats, with Inter, Real madrid, Atletico madrid and only a draw against barcelona,
or maybe Juventus should buy another defender who is really tough, because Bonuci and Rugani are very weak to accompany Bremer

[cryptofrka]

After having a lot of issues in trying to complete the De Jong transfer from Barcelona, it seems that United are turning to Lazio's Milinković-Savić.

He has been a topic of an outgoing transfer for years already but somehow never left - mostly because Lazio had a huge valuation placed on him.
The price that is quoted now is a more realistic 50 mil euros - and Lazio have started negotiations with him regarding a new contract. If he rejects it - they might be even more inclined to a sale.

[marcous]

Frenkie de Jong now has two options open to him, a move to Manchester United or a decision to cut wages and stay at Barcelona. My guess is Frenkie de Jong will stay at Barcelona with wages cut. He would not want to join a team as unstable as Manchester United at the moment. I think we will see Frenkie de Jong in a Barcelona jersey this season.

Not sure he will want to do that I mean de jong would object to taking a 50% pay cut for next season. Manchester United seems to have backed off to get De Jong. Chelsea has reportedly sent a proposal to Barcelona. Chelsea are also prepared to pay de jong salary arrears if De Jong agrees to move to chelsea. We will see this response from Barcelona regarding the offer submitted by Chelsea.

[coinlocket$]

Kostic will be in Italy this afternoon.
