⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[X-ray]

Thomas Tuchel is now pressuring Chelsea owner Todd Boehly into making a good offer and fight to sign Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, having lost Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner this summer.

is a 33 year old Aubameyang really the answer to Chelsea's striker woes? This certainly looks like a short term fix for Chelsea. Probably just for a season until they can get a good striker in. They could go for Ronaldo, since Ronaldo wants to play in Champions league for another season.

They need aubameyang but didn't need de jong as chelsea has jorginho in the club. I can't deny the the quality between jorginho and de jong were different but chelsea needs a good striker. Aubameyang can also become a good option. As far as i know all of rumour about ronaldo already rejected by clubs. Im sure that aubameyang has become the main target for chelsea right now rather than de jong. We will see what's gonna happen before transfer window will be closed very soon.

No one knows exactly what happened with Tottenham Hotspur and Ndombele & Lo Celso, regarding their potential transfer exits this summer, when both players were Hotspur's most prominent main players. Has their departure this summer been linked to their hefty weekly salary?

Ndombele was one of the players who performed quite well last season and it would be a shame if he was allowed to leave. But indeed with Conte's massive player spending, it is clear that the competition for Ndombele's position is getting more and more difficult, so like it or not, several players have to be sacrificed and maybe Ndombele is one of them.

Tottenham Hotspur's desire to release Ndombele is actually not so surprising. Moreover Conte has prepared another strategy.
In this case, there are several clubs interested in asking for Ndombele as well as Napoli. Napoli as well as Villarreal. They are currently discussing the most suitable offer for the French midfielder. On the other hand, Newcastle also seems to want. As long as the transfer market is still active, there are still many possibilities for Ndombele to choose the best club with the best offer and his possible position in the squad. He certainly wants to be in the main squad, right?

Earlier this summer, Guardiola wanted to recruit Marc Cucurella but refused to pay the £55 million asking price, allowing him to sign with Chelsea instead, leaving them without a reputable left-back after Oleksandr Zinchenko left for Arsenal.

Kieran Tierney of Arsenal is one of the names on Manchester City's short list for a new left-back this summer, though they are aware that a move for Tierney will be exceedingly challenging and expensive to complete.

News sources are still claiming that the Bernardo Silva transfer will happen for Barcelona. There are even rumours like both sides are going to agree on a transfer fee worth above £40m. However I think that it will be no more than rumours still. Because Manchester City clearly stated that they had no intention of selling him in the near future.

What sources do you mean, mate? There will be always rumors related to new players of Barcelona, the media won't stop it since they get an advantage of it. But it seems there will be no more new players for Barcelona, they have a new problem with the players' registration in La Liga. They will waste the money only if they can't register new players. Even worse, some new players can move to another club for free if the registration fails. Regarding this situation, there is no way that Bernardo Silva will move to Barcelona. So, besides Man City has stated that he isn't for sale, Barcelona is also in a bad situation that makes them impossible to sign any new players.

Yes, it's a bad situation for Barcelona but it would happen if De Jong and Aubameyang were able to move to Chelsea. What Barcelona problem was said above, financial and La Liga rule is they will be faced if the if forced to transfer. We have to wait for both, Chelsea is very interesting to recruit them because Tuchel wants to try a new scheme duet De Jong and Aubameyang which looks successful in the past.

Kieran Tierney of Arsenal is one of the names on Manchester City's short list for a new left-back this summer, though they are aware that a move for Tierney will be exceedingly challenging and expensive to complete.

They were after Cucurella but they withdrew from the deal which made things easier for Chelsea to sign him. And now Manchester City have almost completed the signing of Sergio Gomez from Anderlecht for the position. He is another great choice for them by the way. His performance last season was impressive. He just needs to adapt well to Guardiola's strategies and that's it. He can do as good as Cucurella then.

Stupid move if they continue to hold this player. Currently Chelsea are reportedly ready to spend 72 million pounds just for De Jong and this means the same as MU's previous offer.
On the other hand for Auba right now his chances are a bit difficult but actually there is still hope even if it is small, But if he really wants to get more time then Chelsea now can be a good place.

The problem now depends on De Jong, whether he wants to join the Chelsea team or not because De Jong also rejected Manchester United for the same thing. So I'm also confused as to why he turned it down and just wants to stay at Barcelona with a pay cut and less playing time. So I think it would be a stupid move if De Jong still turned down Chelsea with that amount of offer.

He insisted he wanted to stay but Barcelona's threat was definitely more cruel I think.
Some time ago I read that indeed if he insists he does not want to be sold then there are indeed some consequences that he must accept, one of which is that his transfer case will be brought to court because Barcelona considers there is something wrong with the transfer related to De Jong before.
I think with things like this, there really is no reason for De Jong to leave because even if he insists on staying this will only alienate him.

I thought that if manchester city was trying to get sergio gomez as a replacement for cucurella. I think that if it's already stated by some press if sergio gomez was also including in the shortlist by manchester city. I never heard if city was also aiming for kieran from arsenal as well.

Hmmm that's pretty interesting which player that will be taken by city as a replacement for the club.

[Nasuhalugu]

John Murtough, the director of football at United, was in Turin today, but no personal agreement was made. The terms of Adrien Rabiot's current contract offer from Manchester United fall short of his expectations.

Rabiot wants a base salary of €7 million per season at Old Trafford, but United's offer is lower than the player's request, and negotiations are still ongoing. Juventus and United have agreed on a fee for the Frenchman's transfer, but there are no personal terms as of yet.

True, Gomez is rumored to be a replacement for Cucurella who previously failed to reach an agreement with Manchester City. I was surprised by Manchester City's interest in Gomez, but he has great talent as a left-back who can also play as a left winger. Guardiola seems to like the character of players like this who can play more forward even though his main position is defender. €10m doesn't seem like a big hurdle for Manchester City so the possibility of signing him is much more likely in my opinion.

Juventus really need a striker position to replace Morata and Dybala who have left Juventus. In addition, Dusan Vlahovic needs a duet on
the front lines, so that the productivity of goals from Juventus can increase. Initially Juventus made an offer to Roberto Firmino, which Juventus
offer was immediately rejected by Liverpool. Finally, Juventus chose Memphis Depay as their new target, moreover Barcelona really wanted
to get rid of Depay to be able to register new players. But there is bad news for Juventus, as Tottenham are now on the hunt for Depay.
Moreover, Tottenham have better finances, could offer Depay a higher salary. Even though Juventus are indeed rumored to be the leading team
that will soon be able to get Depay, but now Juventus have to be patient because Depay wants to hear the offer that will soon be made by Tottenham.
Therefore in the next few days we will soon hear from Depay's decision whether to choose to move to Juventus or Tottenham. But I think Depay
should have chosen Juventus, because the competition at Juventus is not as difficult as at Tottenham.

Depay needs to be well advised, if he goes to tottenham he won't play often, at tottenham there are already guaranteed places for kane and son and now there's Dejan Kulusevski, I doubt that depay will be able to get a guaranteed place in tottenham, while if he goes to juventus he will have more chances to play a lot, i don't know if he could constantly play 90 minutes in every game at juventus, but at least at juventus he would have a chance

That's why I think Depay should choose Juventus, that's because at Juventus Depay is likely to get guaranteed to play in every match.
Because Juventus currently have lost two of their front players, so Depay's playing time will be more, it was very important for Depay who
really wanted to be called up to the Dutch national team. Like you said it seems difficult for Depay to compete with Kane or Son Heung-min.
So it's possible that if Depay play at Tottenham, Depay will only be a substitute. But if Depay wants to get a bigger salary, he definitely chose
Tottenham. But I'm sure Depay will prioritize playing time more. Hopefully Depay prefers Juventus, because I want to see Vlahovic and Depay
playing in the same team. I believe the duo of Depay and Vlahovic will be a threat to the opposing team.

now Manchester City are just one step away from being able to get this Spanish defender. 10 Million Euros is quite comparable to his ability to do defense at the back. in addition to securing the defense Gomez is also able to assist the attack. This 21-year-old defender can play in various positions such as at right back, central midfielder to right winger. Gomez can also act as a central midfielder and attacking midfielder. A very potential easy player who will put more pressure on the opponent. Let's just wait for Sergio Gomez to play in Manchester City, currently Pep Guardiola is still preparing a medical test for him.

I think without De Jong, Chelsea's midfield is already very solid under Jorginho and Kante's control. But if they manage to buy Frenkie De Jong it will make Chelsea stronger. Their chances are bigger than other clubs.
Chelsea must focus on attackers, because that is the position that is now in the spotlight. The centre-forward should be the main target for not relying enough on Sterling and Havertz considering there is some competition played by Chelsea.

You seem to be very in control of the Chelsea line-up. And if Chelsea needs attacking players, it's better for Chelsea not to spend money to buy Frenkie De Jong anymore because there are already other players who are in the same position as Frenkie De Jong. Because Chelsea should be more focused on seeing players in attacking positions so that Chelsea can still save more money on players that are needed, not for players on the same line.

Arsenal are looking set to get a deal done for Youri Tielemans as the player has confirmed that he is not extending his contract at the club this season,and I believe Leicester will not wait untill next season to let him go for free,therefore,they are poised to accept any bid that Arsenal table for the player.And according to reports,Arsenal have made him their top most priority and have identified him as the only player who can stand in for Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey in their absence.Bringing in Tielemas will add more depth to the young squad that Mikel is building.

Chelsea have many option with midfielder position and spent money for Frankie de Jong I think not really good decision, right now Chelsea really need with attacking player after leaving by Lukaku to Inter Milan and Timo Warner back to Leipzig. Left with Raheem Sterling but he not real central forward and he style most as false nine if try to use his as central forward position. I think before window transfer close better for Chelsea priority to get new replacement for position leaving by Lukaku and Timo Warner than keep try get negotiating with Barcelona for getting Frankie de Jong service as midfielder.

Youri Tielemans is also interested in joining Arsenal. but there were also some considerations from Arsenal because it was reported that the player's health condition was not so good.
Personal negotiations with Youri Tielemans have reportedly reached an agreement. but this depends on how the negotiations with the club if Arsenal are serious.

The signing of Frenkie De Jong is going to be a bad one for Chelsea because I do not think he will put any positive impact on the club. Chelsea is negotiating deals to sign players for both sides, including defenders and strikers. Wesley and Aubameyang should be the main focus. Wesley is vital to their current and future defensive lines because they have an aging central defensive line. Deals are good only if they can all be accomplished. It will be interesting to see if Chelsea is going to sign Aubameyang only if FC Barcelona decides to let him go.

Thomas Tuchel is now pressuring Chelsea owner Todd Boehly into making a good offer and fight to sign Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, having lost Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner this summer.

is a 33 year old Aubameyang really the answer to Chelsea's striker woes? This certainly looks like a short term fix for Chelsea. Probably just for a season until they can get a good striker in. They could go for Ronaldo, since Ronaldo wants to play in Champions league for another season.

Chelsea atm lack a formidable scorer and I’m confident that Aubameyang could be a good choice to fill that void. Ronaldo? I think Tuchel will prefer Aubameyang to Ronaldo considering the fact that he knows Aubameyang well from their time together at Borussia Dortmund. And Aubameyang knows the Premier League and the city of London well following his four-year stint in Arsenal and would bring a guarantee of goals to a side in need of them.

Will Aubameyang be the answer to all their problems? Of course not, but will it be better if they didn't get him at all? Absolutely not. If they could get someone decent then it would be fine, but they got nobody and they need someone and he would be a perfect fit, plus he knows the premier league as much as anyone, and he was just benched by Barcelona after just half a season because they got Lewandowski which is more than enough. So that is why I have to say that it would be a win-win situation for both of them. Don't get me wrong, they could have bought a lot better players but apparently the new owner only likes to rumor about getting players, and not actually getting them.

Frenkie De Jong has stated that he will remain at Barcelona and I think the rumors about his move to Chelsea are over and that will not happen.
Chelsea's midfield is of course very good for now, but other players are also needed to rotate to maintain the team's best game to maintain consistency throughout the season.
but we have to forget about Frenkie De Jong because I believe his transfer to Chelsea will not be realized because the player still really wants to play for Barcelona.

Yes, a player's statement can destroy any hope that a transfer can happen. That means he is ready for anything Barcelona will do, including the rumors of a pay cut.
Chelsea don't have a promising midfield player right now, they need to move quickly to solve this problem. Otherwise, they might not be able to compete.

looks like the news i saw on twitter Sky sports premier league which was tweeted about 4 hours ago where chelsea almost reached an agreement with barcelona in the transfer of de jong. Chelsea sent a pretty fantastic offer to Barcelona because it was reported that they would pay Barcelona debt for De Jong, this might be approved by the Barcelona management. we will wait for further news, hopefully the long-standing polemic of de jong can soon reach a meeting point.

Right. Chelsea are willing to pay £72 million and offer to play in the UEFA Champions League. Manchester United are willing to pay £ 72 million not willing to cover £17 million salary for De Jong. As reported by skysport.com.
Chelsea seemed enthusiastic to be able to get De Jong from Barcelona because Frenkie De Jong wanted to appear in the UCL and Manchester United did not meet his criteria if he left Camp Nou.

I think without De Jong, Chelsea's midfield is already very solid under Jorginho and Kante's control. But if they manage to buy Frenkie De Jong it will make Chelsea stronger. Their chances are bigger than other clubs.

You can't just let it go when the opportunity to get De Jong already exists because it's ready to compete with Manchester United's offer and Manchester United will definitely withdraw.
Chelsea can still take advantage of the player transfer window in the winter to sign players who play as center forwards when their finances are being balanced by the club owners.

De Jong must be more patient to wait a little longer, lest he actually move when Barcelona is now in a condition that can be said to be starting a new era. At least De Jong has returned to Barcelona and is trying to do his best like other players who don't really care about salary. I know as a player who has the ideal seeds for the future, De Jong should have a long experience with Barcelona. At least witnessing the recovery of Barcelona is not to be missed.
