⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[AakZaki]

Serie A club Inter Milan have reportedly not given up on getting Trevoh Chalobah's services.  The Nerrazurri are reportedly still trying to sign the Chelsea defender for the remainder of the transfer window this summer.

It is common knowledge that Inter Milan currently lacks a central defender.  Their central defender stock is very limited, even though this season they will play in the Champions League.

Arsenal player Pepe is about to secure a loan move to Nice, it's unfortunate Pepe couldn't established himself in the team and couldn't justify the huge sign on fee paid to secure his transfer from Lille, he is not in Arteta plan this season because of arrival of new players into the club and with emergence and in-form of Martinelli and Saka invariably will limit Pepe to enjoy regular time as a winger, the loan move will help to improve his career and bring back his confidence again having age on his side just like William Saliba loan move to Merseille has rejuvenated his career.

Last season he didn't go well at Arsenal, even though it was a fairly expensive purchase but indeed Pepe's performance at Arsenal was not very good so he really needs to improve.
On loan I think is the right thing because at Arsenal also he will not get a place except the bench so when he is at another club maybe he can learn little by little to improve his performance.

The purchase of Nicolas Pepe was a purchase that Arsenal failed to make, even though Pepe was bought at a high price from Lille. But it's been 3 seasons
Pepe played for Arsenal, but couldn't make a good contribution to Arsenal. So it's a good move to loan Pepe to Nice, who knows Pepe finds his best game
and his confidence can increase. Moreover, Pepe has indeed proven to be playing well in Ligue 1 with Lille, so Nice made the right move to bring in Pepe.

Maybe it's just a matter of time for Pepe's move to Nice, but there are other rumors that Leicester are also interested in signing Pepe. So there is
a possibility that Leicester could hijack Pepe, moreover Leicester have better financial strength than Nice. So Leicester can offer Pepe a more
promising contract, Leicester's interest in Pepe is dangerous for Nice. But until now there has been no official move from Leicester, so we will see
where Pepe will move. What is certain is that Pepe is aware that his chances of getting playing time are very small if he stays at Arsenal.
Because Nicolas Pepe was not included in Arteta's plans this season.

When money speaks then anything can happen.
Isak is one of the pretty good young players that Sociedad has now and indeed when the money comes and if he wants to experience a different sensation in La Liga then indeed Newcastle is a pretty good choice.
Currently Newcastle really want to be better than before and it is not impossible that their position will be even better.

Glad that Newcastle are thinking the right way but I still don't get one thing- They already have enough strikers. There is Wilson and they brought in Wood in last transfer window and now Isak? I really don't get what they are thinking buying off strikers on and on. Better to just buy the right one and get on with it.

They will probably make another competition there but it is very likely that Isak will also fill in the winger and Almiron will have to compete here.
Apart from that, Isak's arrival will also be very good if he can play well.
I think it's still a pretty good thing despite the number of strikers there are but it will be a good thing for them in the current season.

With the transfer market closing soon, Chelsea must move quickly to bring in a striker. Because seeing Chelsea's performance against Leeds,
where Chelsea had difficulty scoring goals, it proved Chelsea needed a striker. And the best candidate to fill the striker position is indeed Aubameyang,

We still have a quarter of the squad looking to transfer out just to get a game, and half of those remaining so far short of match practice they just cannot fire. Under those circumstances how do we possibly expect to have any where near the intensity we require. Of course it would help if we had just one forward who didn't keep getting injured, or could actually send the ball in the direction of the inside area of the goal mouth without hitting the goal keeper. Simply put, Boehly is learning the ropes without the support Mariana and Petr said they would give, but got pissed over their stuff up with Lukaka, who was destroying the squad atmosphere with his whining. 3 seasons ago we could not buy in, then Covid, then the "Sale", how we have survived as we have is a miracle in itself. It is going to take time to rebuild both a squad and the changing room atmosphere with the right unit going forward. Firstly, we need to get rid of all of the baggage from the past, not on loan, but gone, taking their half attitudes with them. Too long have we bought in players not up to standard and just loaned them out. Then let the ex academy loanees we are keeping progress into the 1st team. OK, not so good at the moment as we grow through the changes, but we must keep faith that the team we are building has a great future.

Chelsea have struggled through some tough times from surviving the struggles with Covid 19 pandemic to facing fair play ban from signing players to changing several coaches and now a change in ownership and now a quarter of the team switching clubs this summer and struggles to get suitable replacements as soon as possible, all these trials and unfavorable circumstances have really killed the moral and confidence of the team.

The problem about Covid is global and it's not only Chelsea who feel this way and indeed when the sanctions regarding the ban on buying these players because they violated that there must be sanctions.
Apart from that their current performance doesn't actually refer to that, because if that's the reason then it's illogical because they can win the Champions League in the midst of the crisis they feel.
I think right now they still haven't found the right rhythm due to some of the changes they've made.

Chelsea need a striker, and Aubameyang is one

Well he is pretty much the leftover options that is left for Chelsea. He has played in Premier League so he is the best candidate that Chelsea can get for now because they need a striker that would do well for the team but its been a while since he last played in EPL though ever since he was benched on Arsenal. Aside from that, he might not even fit in Tuchel's strategy but its definitely going to be interesting if he returns though

It will be quite shocking and surprising if Chelsea should sign Aubameyang.He was a good player at the first time he came to Arsenal winning the golden boot,but when EPL defenders started knowing his scoring skills,it became difficult for him to see the back of the net.But things can still change if he should make a move to Chelsea because he will strive very hard to win the heart of the fans,and prove his doubters wrong.It will also be a big move in his career.

[snipie]

Barcelona is a big name in football, playing rarely there and wait for a chance to substitute an injured player to play more is better than playing as a main player for some people..
The wage story is true and the best example is de Jong. He owes Barcelona a lot of money that was cut from his salary during Covid-19 and that the club will not pay it back if he leaves Barca. That's why he insisted to stay, among other reasons obviously.

I don't think De Jong decided to stay at Barcelona just because of the money owed. He is in Barcelona because he loves the team and he has adapted very well with the players. Manchester United wanted to sign De Jong by paying all his outstanding wages. However, De Jong did not accept the offer. He could have fetched higher wages from Manchester United if he wanted.

Generally there is several reasons for any decisions taken. Financial ones are important but achievements, boosting carriers, having the honor to play in top team and under the management of a good coach are crucial too.
BTW I am aware by the offer of ManU except accepting to pay what Barca owes him.

There has been no official announcement, meaning there is no agreement between the two. If Aubameyang really becomes part of Chelsea it will strengthen them even more. But I have a little doubt that he will perform optimally in the Premier League. I hope that my worries don't really come to pass, and that Aubameyang can prove that he deserves to be part of the squad.

As long as there is no official announcement, we only can speculate that the negotiation is in process. The agreement isn't achieved yet, so that doesn't mean it totally won't happen. The latest rumor stated that Chelsea is very close to signing Aubameyang, which indicates Chelsea is still in negotiation with Barcelona. I have no doubt that Aubameyang will be successfully signed by Chelsea since his price isn't so expensive for Chelsea.

Nothing official, but I think this hiring is very likely.
If we remember that Aubameyang was Barcelona's biggest signing in January of last year, it seems to be hard to believe that, but since then Barcelona has hired several reinforcements for the current season, and the arrival of Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha left Aubameyang again no space in Barcelona.
In addition, Barcelona continues to have great financial difficulties. so the sale is practically certain.
As far as I know, in addition to Aubameyang, Chelsea are also looking to sign Rafael Leão (from Milan) for next season.

The contract has been stalled due to financial agreement. Chelsea is offering £22m but Barceloni is insisting on £26m. I think Barcelona might accept the deal if Chelsea adds few millions.This is because Barcelona desperately needs funds to register Jules Kounde in the Spanish league. Although Aubameyang just regained his form, 26 million pounds would be too expensive for his service considering his age. It would even be better for Chelsea to bring in Ivan Toney from Brentford for 40 million pounds. The English international might improve to become a great asset to Chelsea.

Barca not just need the funds, they also need to offload players to make space for Kounde. They are trying to play hard ball with Chelsea while they cant afford to do so. I'd be surprised if Chelsea upgrade on their offer here. Its Barca, that are in danger of keeping a player unregistered.

The pandemic is still nothing for chelsea but the russian war has been giving a big change to the this club since so many sanctions were giving huge impact to the club and its players. Im aware about since the war happened and there would be so many changes happened with chelsea especially on its players and ownership. We can't deny that will give a huge impact to the club. You can see how performance of club changes a lot after change of ownership.

At least when he manages to sell some of his great players then it can improve their financial condition which is sure at the end of every month it won't incur high costs anymore because too many players are owned with high salaries, but the Barcelona coach does have to sell with very high considerations so as not to regret in the future for selling a player who has an important influence on the defense and attack power of Barcelona.

I think Barcelona always have very careful consideration when selling their players to other teams and for sure Barcelona will not throw away a great player who can still provide a big advantage for himself. Because the Barcelona coach himself is also trying to improve the performance of the Barcelona team this season so that they can compete with stronger teams and also fight for the champion that Barcelona wants.

Arsenal have identified Wolves winger Neto as their mystery winger that they were searching for,and according to reports,the player is an Arsenal fan,and he won't hesitate at a chance to join Arsenal especially now that they are no longer doing with any player that is above 25 years,and the set of players in the Arsenal squad now are all young boys who are ready to do anything thing to win their opponent.
If Arsenal could be able to make this deal materialised,and then sign either Savic or Tielemans of Leicester to stand at that midfield should incase Xhaka or Partey should sustain any injury,he would be able to deputise for them.
Then I would say Arsenal will be able to contend fiercely for the tittle.

Surely after having amazing start of this season now they are trying to cover their all weak points which can give them problems in coming days a good work and thinking by Arsenal coach and management if they are able to bring this player which is possible then surely going to be good transfer for them with mostly youths are doing good in this team and after many seasons we have good start from Arsenal with management is also doing good investment with this look like they are seriously going to be strong contender for title even its just start of season long way to go but their start and performance both are on track specially after we are watching mostly top class teams are suffering badly and lost crucial points which can count at the end of season for every one.

I’m so invested in Pedro Neto, he’s definitely that guy to balance up the team. He has the league experience and that’s very important. He is very young, has Pace, Power, Aggressive, Works Hard off the ball, Skill-full, Left Footed (can use both feet) and can play on both wings. That absolute versatility. Arsenal only have him and Tielemans on their radar and these deals needs to be done in the next 5 days. The need that depth in the squad to compete effectively.

Xavi is probably not interested in selling Aubameyang. Aubameyang also had a great performance against Manchester City yesterday. He scored the first goal for Barcelona. It is very difficult to decide to sell such a talented player.
I think the Barcelona management will try their best to keep Aubameyang in the team if they can overcome their financial crisis. With two experienced forwards like Lewandowski and Aubameyang in the Barcelona squad, Barcelona will be able to continue to perform consistently well throughout the season.

I think Barcelona must be owing some money to the players. Otherwise, why would the players be so interested to stay in Barcelona?

Of course it's true and the club president admits that Barcelona owes (wages arrears) to their players. Problems Coming when the Covid19 disaster almost several big clubs experienced a financial crisis. But in terms of payment of salaries that are in arrears, Barcelona applies several conditions, especially they promise to pay them off in the long term. In terms of loyalty, I think it's in the player. they are comfortable why have to go isn't it like that.

I don't understand. When for Barcelona all it comes down to is money,  why for some players it is about emotion?

The players did see Lionel Messi leaving Barcelona right? still the players want to play in Barcelona because of loyalty? or do the players still think that Barcelona will pay a really high amount of salary like they have been doing for quite a while now? 

I really don't understand the reason. and for Aubameyang I don't think he has already created some emotional attachment to Barcelona for which he cannot leave, he hasn't been in Barcelona for even a year.

All the great teams have suffered a lot, also for this reason they had thought of a SuperLeague to replace the Champions League. A super league who gave more money to the teams because they really needed it.
Unfortunately the players cost a lot both to buy them and the salary.

All the clubs have suffered a lot in terms of financial standpoint because of the coronavirus situation. But why does it feel like Barcelona is the worst one to take a hit like that?

That's because they have been paying the players way too much salary which they probably don't even deserve. Just look at the salary difference between Real Madrid and Barcelona. you will understand what I am talking about. The club had to give away a huge amount of money when they did not have too much earnings.

Newcastle offer of €70 million was fantastic, Real Sociedad was very difficult to turn down an offer from Newcastle for Alexander Isak because this transfer would greatly benefit Real Sociedad from a financial point of view even though Alexander Isak has become a key player in the Sociedad squad.
Newcastle who are backed with a lot of money, have no difficulty in hijacking talented players from other teams. If this transfer materializes, Newcastle front line will be very dangerous.

Newcastle only have Callum Wilson for forward position although this player is sharp striker but he has a history of serious injuries so it is risky to Newcastle if only rely on him and before get Isak actually Newcastle has linked to other famous players such as Jesse Lingard but unfortunately he weren't willing to moved to Newcastle and regarding Alexander Isak he is important player for Sociedad but last season he had decline performance and in my opinion 70 millions pounds for the player who only scoring 6 goals last season is overpriced but this offers cannot be denied by Sociedad so sell him is good choice for them
