⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[darewaller]

Actually the debate about Ronaldo's move will only waste time because he will not leave Manchester United this season because it is difficult for him to leave, regardless of what this will only end at MU until his contract is finished.
We must know that the rumors about Ronaldo are just a spice to get hotter so that many clubs that don't even qualify are being linked with this one Goat.

I am not sure that Ronaldo pulled a deal like that, he probably wanted to leave but couldn't find anyone.
I mean think about it this way, if he gets injured then it would be bad for the team that could end up with him, and they are asking for so much money for both Ronaldo himself AND then the team as well. So, nobody wants to buy a player at that age which has an injury chance and also costs so much.

This is why I believe that Ronaldo is not doing it on purpose or something like that, they are definitely wanting him out but just for the right amount and nobody believes that they are not finding a team to send to, not a fake but definitely overvalued.

And another one for Juventus? Leandro Paredes from Paris Saint Germain. The team from Paris would be weakened because they also play vs Juventus in the Champions League. Paredes has already played in Italy (AS Roma, Empoli, Chievo Verona) and with 28 year he gained a lot of experience in France. He also won the 2021 Copa America with Argentina.

It has been reported that Manchester City have received an offer like 70 million euros from PSG for Bernardo Silva. However they have rejected this offer as well. I wonder whether their mind would change in case they get a 100+ million euro offer from a team. But I don't think so because there is a little time period left for the transfer window to end. They would struggle about finding another solid player to replace him.

I don't think Man City is a club that lacks finances. it's clear why they turned down a huge offer from PSG. besides, it would be difficult to find a replacement in such a short time. it would be a loss for Man City.
but there are rumors that Bernardo Silva wants to play at Barcelona. although Pep himself has said he doesn't want to lose Bernardo Silva. so we still don't know what the fate of the rumor will be. Will Barcelona be willing to pay a higher dowry than PSG's offer?

Barcelona had better not pay this amount of money to sign him. Because they are already in a financially bad condition and they are trying to register all of their recent transfers on one hand. In these circumstances signing Bernardo Silva would make things even more difficult for them while there is not much time left for the transfer window to be closed.




By the way Chelsea have completed the Wesley Fofana deal finally. It is finished for 75 million pounds which is a really huge sum but I hope it would help Chelsea have a better defense line.

Chelsea and Leicester have finally reached an agreement on the signing of Wesley Fofana after making numerous offers. As they try to replace the void left by the departures of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen, the Blues are in dire need of a defender.

The 21-year-old, who grew up supporting the Blues, now has the price Chelsea and Leicester have agreed. The deal was met by Chelsea's offer of £70m with an additional £10m.

The unique thing is that today Chelsea and Leicester will both be competing in their fourth game of the season which will take place at home to Chelsea today.
Will the 21-year-old player also be used in today's match or will he serve as a substitute first? But it would be better if the player was immediately used in the match if Chelsea really needed a reliable defender.

I don't really know why fofana is very expensive,for me he is not outstanding to much for his market value to be so high like that, you can get better quality less than that price but I think is him or no one in Thomas Tuchel's eyes, I don't think Brendan Rodgers will include him in his game plan because the deal has already been agreed, even last week Brendan Rodgers didn't include him in their game because he feared that he might not be at the right state of mind to involve talk less of now the deal is done. I don't think he can fixture for Chelsea too because the deal has not materialize and not official yet.

Wesley Fofana will sign to Chelsea until 2028 and he's 21 years old now. It meant Fofana will be the backbone of Chelsea for a very long time. Chelsea considered Fofana as a long-time investment in both his skill right now and in the future too. I think you guys shouldn't look at a transfer as just how good a player's skill is at the moment but also his growth stat. Chelsea's investment in Fofana might be paid off later.

According to DI Marzio CR7 has been offered to Napoli in the hope he will play the following CL.

Not sure if they can afford his salary even with a big reduction.

Manchester also asked for Osimen with a bid around 100m €

Given that United will be paying 85% of his salary (according to the same sources), this is a very feasible deal for Napoli. I don’t know how the next Ronaldo transfer scheme will end, but in my opinion a transfer to Napoli is better than sitting on the bench at United and watching Ten Hag implement his crazy schemes.

[Lordhermes]

After adapting these young players to the squad, playing in the top 11 gives them great self-confidence.  We'll see if he plays in this game.  I think he has to play, one of the most important things for a defender is match experience.  His team needs to bring it to him.

If the team needs to bring him into today's match, then in general Chelsea will benefit greatly if Wesley Fofana can immediately adapt to the players in his new team because if Chelsea's defense can be better with the presence of Wesley Fofana. Chelsea could have improved in form and returned to the title challengers group this season.

The price paid on Fofona is too high,I dont know why Leicester players are always that high,the amount of money they played on him is too much and I don't think he will be able to deliver with the expectation that has been placed on him.
This signing will really add depth to the Chelsea's squad because Fofona is a really reasonable addition to them.I don't think he will be able to play today's game.

Saturday's gossip:

Chelsea have reached an agreement to sign Leicester City's 21-year-old French centre-back Wesley Fofana, with the fee believed to be £70m. A lot of money for Fofan, does he deserve it?
Cristiano Ronaldo's representative Jorge Mendes has approached Napoli over a potential move for the Manchester United and Portugal forward. This is already becoming painful to watch, as Ronaldo desperately tries to escape from Manchester but no one wants him. What happened to the once best football player in the world?
Liverpool could offer Brazil forward Roberto Firmino, 30, in exchange for Paris St-Germain and Argentina midfielder Leandro Paredes, 28. Firmino for Paredes, is this a good idea and deal for Liverpool, what do you think?
Chelsea's pursuit of Barcelona and Gabon striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has stalled over personal terms with the player wanting a two-year deal while the Blues are only prepared to offer a one-year contract. Will they come to an agreement in the end?
But Manchester United have made another approach for 33-year-old Aubameyang  Is a new football soap opera being prepared?

The 21-year-old, who grew up supporting the Blues, now has the price Chelsea and Leicester have agreed. The deal was met by Chelsea's offer of £70m with an additional £10m.

That's almost double from the market value of Wesley Fofana, the last time I see the 21-year-old's market value was around €40 million. But if the information on the €70 million deal is correct, then Wesley Fofana certainly become the player with the third highest transfer fee in the EPL this season after Darwin Nunez and Casemiro.

I'm curious how tough this young defender is? Leicester didn't even use it very actively last season.

Good luck with Wesley Fofana and his move to Chelsea, but do you recall what happened the last time a big club bought a player from Leicester City for an over priced fee ? Lol
Napoli stated that Manchester United should pay over eighty percent of Cristiano Ronaldo's salary even as a Napoli player. Football is no longer all about Messi and Ronaldo anymore, ain't that obvious too see ?
Parades for me is an average player he will remain in the level of chamberlain when he was an Arsenal player, he is no match to replace Thiago Alcantara, Firmino? Yes! Liverpool need let go of him!
I'm opened to a stricker coming in that has pace ans eye for goal with Cristiano Ronaldo not giving his all, I can sure see he wants an exit without anyone telling Man!

Antony to Manchester United seems like a Russia Ukraine situation, let me go and they Ajax said no, is that difficult, I want Manchester United and they want to keep me down. Lol 🤣🥴😂

Usually all Primer League player when have rumor with bigger or top fourth standing position team will have expensive values, but I don't agree with Wesley Fofana could said higher price paid by Chelsea. Based on Skyport news, Chelsea have agreement with Leicester City to pay £70m plus add on bonuses £5m for Wesley Fofana, I think good price depending with this player still young and become long term investment for Chelsea at the future. But I am little disagree with Chelsea because they have many player option on defender and pay expensive values for Wesley Fofana looks not really urgent did. Chelsea still need find new central forward than looking for defender player and spent more than £70m.

Wesley Fofana is a young player, he is only 21 years old, in terms of quality he is still very good but we will have to wait in the next few seasons to see the real performance of this French player. I think this is a very good transfer for Chelsea, now they have a future defender who has very good prospects.
but regarding the price I think it's quite wort it for a potential player who is still very young.

Sasa absence in training and the Stuttgart match certainly indicates that an agreement has been reached between the two teams, it looks like Wolves are starting to try to recruit several other players to strengthen their attack line, especially since Neto is currently on the verge of exiting from Wolves, so far Sasa has been targeted by several English Premier League teams such as Manchester and Everton but both that the teams prefer to withdraw after Stuttgart set a high price on Sasa, the withdrawal of several other teams made Wolves more free to get Sasa for a price  of 15 million pounds.

The news has reached me that Wesley Fofana has agreed to a verbal deal with Chelsea. However, I believe there is no guarantee that there will be any sort of verbal term in football these days. So, I am still very skeptical about this.

I think Roberto Firmino has served Liverpool well enough. And both should part ways from here on. From this point, things cannot go well between both of these.

There are a lot of things Cristiano Ronaldo is fed up with. It is quite obvious at this point that this is the case. There is no question that, whether you believe it or not, that is certainly reflected in his performance. There is no doubt that he wants to leave Manchester United. In spite of that, he is helpless as he cannot do anything about it since bigger teams do not want him at this time.

Ronaldo is a professional footballer,  I think sitting on the bench and watching is not a good one for some like is level.  Instead of just always being on the bench I'd prefer if he is being signed into another club where he can be a key player to the team. I won't blame ten Hag for putting Ronaldo on the bench maybe he feels that Ronaldo is playing for himself and not for the club.

Chelsea have reached an agreement to sign Leicester City's 21-year-old French centre-back Wesley Fofana, with the fee believed to be £70m. A lot of money for Fofan, does he deserve it?

That is quite a lot of money for Fofana, and tbh i don't think he is at all worth anything close to that valuation, but i understand Chelsea, they desperately needed a center back, and whilst the transfer market was drawing to a close, the desperation increased, and this played quite well into Leicester City's hands, as they then capitalized on Chelsea's interest to slap an outrageous fee on their defender, smart move from Leicester City, but then the transfer market is really becoming something else, but i guess it is what it is.

Having said that, that is twice now that Leicester City have received a really huge sum of money for a defender, first it was Maguire, and now it is Fofana, i just hope Fofana's time at Chelsea is nothing like what Maguire is going through at Old Trafford. We'd see how well he does at Stamford Bridge, he seems like a decent player though, but definitely not worth that much.

[CryptoPanda]

Chelsea are still insistent on signing another centre-back before the end of the transfer window. Fofana is their main target but Leicester's demand is really high. Chelsea have Koulibaly and Thiago Silva in their starting eleven now. These two are already very good actually so I'm not sure if they really need to splurge on another defender. Chelsea's main concern should be an attacker rather than a defender now. Because they have Broja and Batshuayi only. Havertz is playing there now but he isn't a real striker. Chelsea are having problems there as a result.

I read on the net today that a deal for Fofana has already been agreed between both clubs, i thinks the fee should be around £75m. If this is true then it is expected that the deal should be finalized in the coming week. Fofana will add more strength to the squad and solidify the defense.  Chelsea's main concern now should be adding one or two attacking options before the end of the window.

I heard about that transfer rumours from weeks now and they only reached an agreement today!
The price is abusive as we discussed previously but Chelsea needs him and they don't seem to have a lot of choices.
For the Maguire example, I hope Fofana and any other players to not do like him. Dunno how a very expensive player ends up as a joke. I sometimes wonder if there isn't something wrong with his concentration / brain.

Two games on the bench is certainly not something that ronaldo can accept at the moment, I think it's better for ronaldo to go to another club than he is just a spectator at the moment, two wins that Ten Hag got in two games without ronaldo it seems  indicates that if Ten Hag doesn't need Ronaldo anymore, actually releasing Ronaldo is a big loss because after all we all know the quality that Ronaldo has had all this time, but if Ten Hag relationship with Ronaldo starts to bad, of course releasing Ronaldo is the right solution for Ten Hag so as not to cause polemics in the Manchester squad later.

I also confirmed the news on Fabrizio's page this evening that a deal between both clubs (Chelsea & Leicester City) has already been agreed, a deal worth around £70m  which is a lot of money  for a young player with little number of caps under his belt but Chelsea know what they want and if they think he is worth the price then who am I to disapprove. I see Ronaldo remaining at Manchester united this season and Firmino also staying beyond this summer.
