⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

After playing superbly at the start of this season, Arsenal are reportedly still looking to strengthen their squad in the January transfer window. Currently Ferran Torres is on their radar. The winger was only acquired by Barcelona in January from Manchester City as one of the most talented young players.

With his inconsistent playing time, and Barcelona's financial problems and their need to sell players, it seems Arsenal's plan to sign him is right.

Aubameyang is 33 of age but still plays like a player's who is early 20's , Aubameyang can still be in a good firm in the next 3 years  for Chelsea,  just as Ronaldo who is in 36 but still doing better in his performance. Chelsea still need to have strong players to strengthen their squad.

Aubameyang and Ronaldo have very different characteristics and when compared, Aubameyang wins for good qualities because he can work well with the team, while for Ronaldo, even though he is a professional player and has a lot of experience in football championships, his character is what has been seen when he was at Manchester United, it is clear that his true nature is not friendly and cannot work as a team well.

But when the whole Chelsea's club doing bad without no outstanding players, no matter how good Aubameyang 'work well with the team' as you said means little for Chelsea. They need someone reliable, and willing to go as far as telling teammates: 'you suck' to motivate them out of their comfort zone. Ronaldo had that kind of character and overall better personal skill than Aubameyang.
My guess, Chelsea will have to rebuild their club again with new faces since this lineup is going nowhere. Better get Ronaldo as a temporary standing to keep Chelsea in the top 4 and rebuild later. After the Abramovich fiasco, the new owners don't know how to invest and operate a football club, changing hands too fast leading to Chelsea's confusion phare we see right now.

After playing superbly at the start of this season, Arsenal are reportedly still looking to strengthen their squad in the January transfer window. Currently Ferran Torres is on their radar. The winger was only acquired by Barcelona in January from Manchester City as one of the most talented young players.

With his inconsistent playing time, and Barcelona's financial problems and their need to sell players, it seems Arsenal's plan to sign him is right.

Since the arrivals of Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha in this summer's transfer window, then Ousmane Dembele who performed superbly
and Ansu Fati who has recovered from injury. This made Ferran Torres start to lose playing time, Ferran Torres has been on the bench more
this season. Very different when it was first brought in in the middle of the previous season, Ferran Torres became one of Barcelona's key players
with Aubameyang. But Aubameyang has been sold to Chelsea, now turn to Ferran Torres who is rumored to be joining Arsenal.

Reportedly Arteta is still not satisfied with the current squad, it is estimated that Arsenal will bring in new players again in the January 2023
transfer window and Ferran Torres is on Arsenal's radar. I as an Arsenal supporter are very happy if it turns out that Arsenal can bring in Ferran Torres,
at least Ferran Torres will make Arsenal's squad stronger. Especially if Arsenal want to compete to win the Premier League trophy this season,
Arsenal must have the courage to spend more money to strengthen their squad by buying Ferran Torres. If Ferran Torres is successfully brought in
by Arsenal, he can play alternately with Martinelli, because Martinelli needs competitors, to be even more motivated to always show his best performance.

It's official. Diego Costa go to Wolverhampton Wanderers. He has passed the trial training and now got a contract for one year. He is planned as a replacement for Kalajdzic. He got injured for a longer time, so Diego had to come so fast. For all a good deal. Diego Costa had no club and now he is happy to play again in the Premier League against. He will meet old friends.

The loss of the Champions League wasn't the only reason Thomas Tuchel was sacked, he was also against Chelsea's desire to sign Cristiano Ronaldo, as he said Ronaldo would break the team's spirit, or something along those lines.
Anyway, since that time it had already become clear to me that Cristiano's future was indeed Chelsea.
I believe this is Ronaldo's last team before retirement.
And I also believe that this purchase is pure marketing.

I agree with you about this statement that only Champions League lost is not reason for Thomas Tuchel's exit there were differences between new management and Tuchel about few players and specially new management looking for entry of Ronaldo in this season and this was not for his performance this was just because of marketing purpose which was not suitable for Tuchel, so he has to lost his job.

As we already check Ronaldo performance in Manchester United he can't help Chelsea like they have Aubameyang, but they were looking for other things which bring good funds for them as they are not like former Russian owner who was good professional job with this club right now new owners are doing with their own style which is not going to help them for long run, and they can't bring trophies at Chelsea has in the past.

Silva has long been on Barcelona's radar. Barcelona's movement for Silva was entirely driven by the wishes of the coach, but because Barcelona are still constrained by financial problems, Bernardo Silva cannot be brought to Camp Nou at the close of the transfer market last season.

Xavi is really interested in Bernaldo Silva and wants him to be part of Xavi's future project plans, despite Manchester City's refusal because Silva is still a core player in Pep Guardiola's squad.
In my personal view, if Barcelona manage to sign Silva in the next transfer window, I think De Jong will be completely out of Xavi's project plans.

Xavi is very interested in signing Bernardo Silva because Silva's style of play fits perfectly with the philosophy of the game he applies at Barcelona. Initially Silva was projected to replace De Jong position, but because De Jong did not want to part with Barcelona, Barcelona failed to bring Silva. Although Silva failed to be brought to Barcelona, Xavi is very satisfied with the quality of the midfield that he currently has, the compactness of the Barcelona midfield trio is able to control the rhythm of the game.
Barcelona who are in financial trouble will try to stabilize their financial spending in paying player salaries, De Jong may become a victim of Silva arrival in the upcoming transfer market because Barcelona feel burdened by his high salary.

Silva could be in their radar for some more time or until they have in their team because in last transfer window they have some issues just because of this they fail to do this but now in coming days as they are working on things hopefully things will be in their favor like they are still looking for better offer which offload De Jong and now Feran Torres is also in their off load list which mean these are going to be help them for having place for Silva which is surely a main player for Pep Guardiola and Manchester City, but Barcelona is not letting him play in this club until they bring him in their squad which is surely going to be strengthening their squad for long run in La Liga and Champions League.

After exit of Aubameyang now they have no good partnership for Feran Torres and Arteta is linked with him which mean most chances he is going to be Arsenal player in coming transfer window which is going to be still working on their squad which is not competitive just after first lost of this season.

Eh?  That's really not true.  The only reason why Ronaldo isn't seen in a good light by his team mates right now at Man United is he doesn't fit the system they want to play.  Whenever he's on the system must be built around him as he doesn't really offer much when the ball is with the opposing side.  He doesn't press much as he should...  And there's no comparison between Aubameyang and Ronaldo.  Are you guys fking serious?  Ronaldo is like a generational talent.  He's up there with Messi.

The performance of Bernardo Silva is far superior to that of Frenkie de Jong.
However, de Jong is still quite a young player when compared to Silva and therefore may have a slight advantage.

In my opinion, Barcelona has to make a choice between these two options. There is no doubt that bringing Silva to Barcelona will be a better choice for the club.
As far as I can tell, it seems as if they bring in Silva and sell de Jong at the same time, they would be able to get a decent amount of money.
There is a possibility that they may be able to give Silva a lower salary as well. It is also pertinent to note that Silva is an attacking player.
Barcelona will be able to benefit from that in the long run. Especially with the way they want to play in recent times.

Even Lewandowski, Haaland, and Mbappe are still can't be compare to both Messi and Ronaldo.

I mean what's the achievement of Aubameyang he have? he already 33 years old and still not win Ballon d'Or or champions league. He was good when he's still on Dortmund, but his performance continue decrease on Barcelona.

Chelsea even want to sign Ronaldo, but it was because Tuchel reject him.

I can bet you Ronaldo is more than what you think
Those written script's are only pushed by the media to make money
If you do a check amongst other players then you will see the difference
If you're not close to someone you will never know the personality of people

Actually in this case it would be a bit of an exaggeration to compare these two players just because of their characteristics in the current season.
Regardless of anything they have their own advantages and disadvantages, on the other hand, they are now quite old which makes it unnecessary to compare them. Ronaldo is a goat and regardless of his current performance, we also can't deny the greatness of him who can still be competitive at his current age.

N'Golo Kante wants a long-term commitment from the Blues if he is to sign a new contract and he has told Chelsea about it.

Initial negotiations over an extension have been carried out with Kante and he wants a three-year extension commitment from Chelsea, whose previous regime was notoriously worried about awarding an aging player long contracts.

As the best midfielder Kante is still highly regarded by opponents even though the Frenchman is now 31 years old and has entered the final year of his contract at Stamford Bridge.

I do not think Chelsea will budge, they usually do not give players above thirty anything more than a year or two contract extension, and i don't think Kante's case will be different, but then there is a new management in charge like you said and we would see how they handle this situation, Kante has served the club very well since his move from Leicester, and a three-year extension might be no more than what he deserves. Having said that, i am pretty sure various other clubs will be monitoring this situation right now, and if there is a breakdown in negotiations, some of them will not fail to offer Kante a contract he might not be able to say no to.

This is a good signing for Wolverhampton Wanderers who have not been in their best form since the beginning of the new season. Wolve was one of the most difficult team's to be won by top teams in EPL but since the departure of Adama Traore to Barcelona, they have not been in good form again.Bringing  Diego Costa to the team now will be a good moral booster to the team because of his good striking force and his experience in the league is one added advantage to them because he will no longer need plenty time to adapt to the team since he was a former player of Chelsea. It's good to see him play in England again I believe he will also make history with them.

I believe that it is a simple thing that people should be able to understand in my opinion. As a result of becoming a Manchester United player, Cristiano Ronaldo is now in a bind. As a result, he tried his utmost to get out because he understood the fact that staying at Manchester United would not be good for his career if he stayed there. Unfortunately, he was unable to escape from the situation because he was trapped.

For the sole purpose of playing in the Champions League, he was willing to move to another club in order to be able to do so. Nonetheless, he was not able to join any other team that is playing in the Champions League because none of the teams that are playing in the Champions League wanted to take him on. It appears he is still capable of playing but he is in the wrong team at the wrong time.

Probably back to making trouble as usual and getting sent off. He will have to be careful VAR will be on his back. The Premier league didn’t have VAR when Diego Costa was playing for Chelsea not sure they did have it. Anyway, Welcome back the goal beast. We missed you. Conte not being able to handle you resulted in his sacking at Chelsea. Welcome back.

The source is claiming that Barcelona are still going to pursue Bernardo Silva transfer in January. Because their salary cap has been increased by £490m.

https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/barcelona-transfers-mancity-bernardo-silva-27956287

Manchester City have stated before that they aren't intending to sell Bernardo Silva. I don't think that their decision would change easily unless they find a better alternative than him. These days I only see Neymar for the position. However his cost to Manchester City would be incredibly high. I don't think that they would think of taking a risk by signing an older player for a much higher value. If Barcelona are ready to spend very much money then they can try to bring Neymar back to the team for example. However I don't know what Xavi would think about that. Because this might mean a change in his system which he might not like to do.

I think Manchester City's decision on Bernardo Silva still stands, Bernardo Silva is still an important player for city and Guadiola is so much insisting on keeping the player at the club. If Barcelona really want him they will have to be willing to spend a whopping sum of money which will be difficult to resist cause that is the only way Manchester City will be left with no choice but to let him go.

Despite pep might will always forever being barcelona roots to help by letting bernardo silva to move to barcelona ... i think this time it's a bit hard to let him go , pep already giving barcelona a huge talent ferran torres and if they ask for more , it's going won't be easy for sure .

He almost leaving though , but barcelona situation were too complicated.

Agree with what you said, he is one of the players who has an important role at Chelsea at the moment although indeed this season his role is still not visible but indeed he can be one of the players to be reckoned with when the team recovers.
Regardless of his age, he is actually quite reasonable when his contract duration is three years if this can be realized.

Kante has been injured for a month. Chelsea will be curious about how strong he will be able to play from now on. If this injury affects his performance badly then Chelsea might not think of extending his contract. Kante has always been an important part of this team so far. However they can find a solid alternative to him too in the end. Kante will need to convince them not to do so by his effort. Normally I don't doubt him but this injury period has been quite long. Let's see what he can do after his return on September 15.
