⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[sayaya17]

I didn't know that Marcus Rashford had a 12-month extension option on his contract to be triggered. Manchester United have started to negotiate with some of their important players for extending their contracts. He is one of these players currently. If they don't convince him to extend then they will guarantee one more year by triggering the option at least. Maybe Rashford might not rush things about extending his contract with the team. Because he heard about some interest by PSG before and he would like to wait to see if he will get any offer.

Manchester United are in talks with De Gea at the same time because his contract is ending next summer normally just as Rashford. De Gea is the most important part of the team now actually so they should do their best to convince him. If it wasn't for his great saves so far the team would have been in a much worse condition.

He has never had interest with the move to Paris Saint Germans, that was really initiated by his brother so Manchester United could raise his salary they had initially with him.
Erik Ten Hag has also cleared those talks about him saying they have long term plans with him ( Marcus Rashford ) he was indeed Manchester Uniteds pivot during the second season with Ole Gunner Solskjear but all didn't go as planned for that season as he got injured.

Good they want to keep David De Gea at Manchester United, he has been a good shot stopper not until the Introduction of Harry Maguire and some lazy defending. Chris Smalling loaned or sold was far better than H-M!

Harry Maguire is the worst ever defender transfer for Manchester United. 

They paid 87 million euros to Leicester for signing him. Leicester must be very contented with that deal. Manchester United's problem is this actually. They are pouring a lot of money for almost every player in the recent years. They should do a proper research before splurging on a player. I hope that Antony's end won't be similar to Maguire here. He is a quite talented player though and Erik ten Hag must be knowing what he is doing now. They have spent €100m for him in the end and Antony will be under pressure.

Man United often buy players at too high a price, it doesn't matter if the player plays well, the problem is that some of the players bought by Man United
are underperforming. For example, Harry Maguire, as you said, is the worst defender buy by Man United. Of course Man United are very regret to spend
so much money to buy Harry Maguire. Moreover, it is impossible for Man United to sell Maguire again, it is certain that even if there is a club that wants
to buy Maguire, the price will fall. So instead of selling Maguire cheaply, it's better for Man United to make Maguire a substitute.

But it looks like Man United never learned with some of Man United's overpriced purchases, they repeated the same thing by buying Antony from Ajax at
too high a price in my opinion. Hopefully Antony can make a big contribution to Man United, and I hope the management of Man United can be wiser
in spending money to buy players. Jadon Sancho is also one of the players bought by Man United at a price too expensive, fortunately Sancho's
performance this season is very good, because the previous season Sancho's performance was very bad.

I think they will draw a good graph at UCL. Looking at the points they lost in the league, everyone can easily say that they did not play badly. Let's not see if things don't seem to be going well. In my opinion, Bayern's squad is very strong. They also achieve certain success in the champions league.

Munich will be aggressive from now on to find a central striker. they already have a strong team. but indeed they are in trouble with their squad in the league.
but it won't take long, I'm sure Munich will soon emerge from this situation. the winter transfer window will be an opportunity for Munich to get a new striker. Mane's arrival may be felt less. and Munich must get to make the Munich front line scary again.

In the last four games in the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich has scored 4 goals, and they have conceded 5 goals. Bayern Munich has trouble scoring against defensive teams. And most teams in the Bundesliga will play a defensive strategy against Bayern. And so Bayern needs an experienced striker now, or they will have to come up with a change in match strategy. I look forward to seeing Nagelsmann's strategy against Leverkusen. Now that Bayern Munich can't add new players to the squad, Nagelsmann is likely to change tactics in his next match.

I haven't been following the Bundesliga because my decoder doesn't  air the Bundesliga games but with these stats I can say Bayern Munich are truly lacking a good finisher in the team, someone who can convert most of the chances created in every game, someone who can step into Lewandowski's boots and lead the team's attack, adding strength and good conversion.

A 2-3 month absence is expected for Ronald Araújo following surgery on his right thigh. He will miss the World Cup due to this surgery. Unfortunately, this is bad news for the Uruguay National Team and FC Barcelona as well. There are almost all of Xavi's first eleven injured, which is too much for him. El Clásico or the World Cup don't matter as much as our health! I wish him the best of luck and hope he comes back stronger than ever.

What does the Barcelona player who has just suffered an injury have to do with this Thread, I don't think Barcelona will make any transfers with the current situation. The FIFA virus has brought disaster to Barcelona because several of its players were injured while defending their national team, but Barcelona still has a stock of players ready to play whenever needed.

Note: what you wrote above should be in La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 because this thread is for
Football Transfer Speculation, not discuss certain teams that did not make any transfers.

David De Gea have been a very important player for Manchester United for many years, he will forever be remembered for his incredible saves and top class performances and numerous clean sheets. De gea is indeed a savior for Manchester United I still remember many games Manchester United were to lose if not for the incredible performances from David De Gea but and he won't be there to save the club forever, if he leaves he will be leaving as a legend for the club.

de gea has become a manchester united legend and has been there for 11 years, the news about MU looking for a replacement for de gea actually sounds a long time ago but de gea's contract still exists until 2023

I agree with what you said that de gea saved Manchester United several times but management thinks United need a new goalkeeper for their long term project. De Gea's replacement candidates are reportedly Aston Villa goalkeeper (Martinez) and ATM goalkeeper (Jan Oblak)

[herurist]

Man United is lucky to have a formidable goalkeeper like De Gea. Even though in the last few seasons Man United's performances have not been satisfactory but De Gea is one of the players whose performance is quite consistent. There are rumors that Man United will not extend De Gea's contract and would let De Gea leave on a free transfer, because Man United seems unwilling to spend a lot of money on his salary, and looks like Man United is also looking for a new goalkeeper to replace De Gea.

Rashford has been in good form this season, and he fits with Ten Hag's football, so it should be that Man United has to keep him (moreover, Man United don't have a lot of options in their attack line).

De gea is indeed a savior for Manchester United I still remember many games Manchester United were to lose if not for the incredible performances from David De Gea but and he won't be there to save the club forever, if he leaves he will be leaving as a legend for the club.

In the midst of the problems that have plagued De Gea such as his congenital eye disease, he is indeed a very good goalkeeper in terms of appearance, especially last season because he always made good saves considering that De Gea's enemies last season were not only opponents but friends. himself who always made blunders even almost some of them including the captain often made suicide goals at that time.
At the moment his condition seems to have decreased a bit compared to previous seasons but for a 31-year-old goalkeeper it is still quite good in my opinion.

I read the news about Harry Kane rumors, but Bayern Munich has been in contact with Harry Kane's camp but not with Tottenham Hotspur, does this mean that Bayern Munich is serious about signing Harry Kane? about how much the price is still not explained but it seems Bayern Munich is trying to convince the Spurs player, even in the article there is a statement from Bayern Munich to Harry Kane not to renew his contract with Spurs.
But I don't think this will happen in the winter window because Harry Kane said he didn't want to rush things.

Bayern Munich are desperately trying to make their striker signing at the earliest opportunity but it's quite late for this season I'm afraid. Because they should have done this pre-season to be fully ready. They were just too stubborn about not going for any player and denied all the rumours linking them with Harry Kane.

There is no way they are signing Kane in January. They'd better forget about it and make their plans according to that. Whatever amount they offer I don't think Tottenham would be okay about selling him in the middle of the season. It'd be a huge problem for them while they are doing this much wonderful in the EPL.

Bayern Munich were very ignorant of signing a striker in the summer, they lost the opportunity to sign a player like Eirling Haaland when he was at Dortmund by then they already knows lawendowski is leaving to Barcelona,then they was the chance to bring in Nunes from Benfica who seems to me at then as a perfect replacement for lawendowski but they were too busy chasing a winger( sadio mane) to replace a striker.now they are trying to be serious to get Harry Kane who Tottenham will do everything to keep even if it means for him to run his remaining two years contract down just like they did to eriksen.

[Gosgosking]

Signing Mane wasn't a bad idea, but I agree that they needed a more typical replacement for Lewandowski, and Serge Gnabry is not that guy, with Kane renewal at Tottenham, Bayern Munich would need to break more than just the bank in order to sign him, there's no chance that Tottenham would let him go.

Sadio Mane is still good for Bayern Munich,  what Bayern Munich needs to help the performance of the team is to have a good striker.  If Bayern Munich can work on this it will make the team to come back to their normal way of performing.

[Smack That Ace]

Considering the fact that Thomas Tuchel has quite a bit of experience and has also done a decent job with bigger teams like Chelsea, I think that he is going to be the right fit for Bayern Munich. The problem for Bayern Munich, I believe, is not the coach of the team, but rather the fact that they have lost one of their best strikers, Lewandowski, to Barcelona during this past transfer window. As opposed to changing the coach, I believe that the team should try to find a new striker to join them instead of changing the coach.

I also think that Lewandowski's departure from Bayern Munich has had an impact on their performance this season. Lewandowski is indeed a good player and he was also a key player at Bayern Munich, so when he decides to go to Barcelona, it was like Bayern Munich lost their fangs. Moreover, there is another big problem that Bayern is facing, which their defensive line is underperforming. Changing the coach may be a solution, at least for Tuchel who has managed a big team like Chelsea could give a change and hope for Bayern Munich.

It is true that with the departure of Robert Lewandowski, their attack has lost a lot of its power, and in addition, they have been conceding quite a bit more goals than they used to in the past few seasons as well. Despite the fact that they have been able to buy Dayot Upamecano, I believe they still need to purchase an additional and stronger defender. Furthermore, another big blow to the defense of this team came from the departure of Nicolas Sule to Dortmund in the last season. It might be the only solution at this point to change the coach, but they will also need to spend big bucks in the next transfer window in order to make this happen.

You are right, actually the problem that Bayer faces is the finisher part. Mane has not been able to answer the needs that Bayern need in the previous four matches. there may be several reasons that Mane always struggles to score goals, some rumors say it doesn't match the strategy pattern that Nagels often uses, some say Mane is better if he plays as a winger.

but for sure, in the match against Leverkusen. Nagels must be able to restore the confidence of his squad and win the game. not easy, but Nagels must answer any doubts that currently tend to corner his position as boss of Bayern Munich.
I believe, Bayern will win the match against Leverkusen.

With Liverpool, we saw the gameplay of Sadio Mane. He couldn't score regularly. We see the same thing at Bayern Munich. So Nagelsmann should not be overly dependent on Sadio Mane to score. Bayern Munich should change their 4-2-3-1 formation. If not, Sadio Mane should change his position. Otherwise, Bayern Munich will not get the expected results.

I believe Bayern Munich will make no mistake against Leverkusen. Because Leverkusen's performance is very poor this season. They are now close to the relegation zone. However, teams close to the relegation zone often surprise everyone with terrible performances. So Bayern Munich will have to perform very cautiously and keep the defence strong.

Memphis-Firmino swap is being worked on by Barcelona for the January transfer window. The source of the report doesn't seem reliable, but Firmino and Memphis Depay may swap places. It's just a rumor! It is not possible for Liverpool to swap Firmino for Memphis. Although Memphis might be a better player than Firmino, but Firmino is a more versatile player. Therefore, I would like to ask what Barcelona is trying to accomplish?

[X-ray]

Signing Mane wasn't a bad idea, but I agree that they needed a more typical replacement for Lewandowski, and Serge Gnabry is not that guy, with Kane renewal at Tottenham, Bayern Munich would need to break more than just the bank in order to sign him, there's no chance that Tottenham would let him go.

Agreed, after lewandowski gone to the barcelona and bayern faces a very difficult situation when it comes to get the right striker as a replacement for him. It seems like there bayern have been rumoured with various strikers but i think that the hardest thing is to get the suitable striker for the club.
The current performance has been showing if bayern was still struggling with the striker. I hope that bayern can get a replacement for lewandoski. It's very difficult to find pure striker like him.
That's pretty much the same like what happened with chelsea but it was getting aubameyang. It would be good if bayern can the a new striker that is in the same class like aubameyang

[Despairo]

There's a big news from Arsenal if they're want to sign Dusan Vlahovic aka center forward who currently on Juventus, I think Arsenal know Jesus wasn't a pure striker, but he's more rounded unlike Vlahovic he's a good executor, he's top 2 scorers on Serie A. But it seems the deal might happen on 2023, so this season they will depends on Jesus.

But I wonder who's the main striker for Juventus, because few years before they were great with Cristiano Ronaldo, currently they have Vlahovic. If they can't find a good striker, Juventus will become a weak club.

Yeah David De Gea has been a very important player for Manchester United over the years. De Gea has been a loyal servant to Manchester United for 11 years now and has made the PFA Team of the Year five times since his €21 million transfer from Atletico Madrid in 2011. But with the recent trend in modern football, Erik ten Hag is understood to be looking for a new goalkeeper with the modern game having evolved past De Gea's talents in recent seasons. There are few keepers that falls in that category but I trust Ten Hag to get one to replace De Gea.

It is not possible for Liverpool to swap Firmino for Memphis. Although Memphis might be a better player than Firmino, but Firmino is a more versatile player. Therefore, I would like to ask what Barcelona is trying to accomplish?

Both are good players I must say, but as a coach, when my team is complete, I'll prefer Firmino to Memphis but when my team isn't complete and having some issues like what is happening to Liverpool, I'll prefer Memphis to Firmino.
Memphis Depay has the type of strength Mane has and he could help cover the vacance left by Mane if found in the Liverpool squad. But it is just a rumour because Liverpool will not pay Memphis what he earns in Barcelona.

I'm not sure Nagelsmann will change his usual 4-2-3-1 formation.
it looks like the formation will stay like that, but it's also possible that some players will be rotated including Sadio Mane.
but I assume, the most likely Nagelsmann will still install Sadio Mane as the spearhead. he will still be expected to play optimally and score goals in the match against leverkusen, I hope Nagels can improve his squad and restore Die Bayern's confidence.

speaking of leverkusen, considering their very poor form this season, we have no doubts bayern will win the match against leverkusen.
however, what we pay attention to is in the next matches. especially Bayern will undergo matches in the Champions League and the match against Dortmund.

according to the spanish newspaper 'marca', real madrid has made the signing of english international and midfielder Jude Bellingham (borussia dortmund) their top priority for next summer's transfer window

Which is not that surprising though. Belingham is the next one who is going to sign a gigantic contract I guess. I don't think he will be oversold like Dembele was when Dortmund sold him to Barcelona, but Dortmund is still looking forward to an amazing deal. They are now talking about a 90 million dollar deal, but I think that given the fact he is still under contract till 2025, the deal might also be a bit higher than that.

It seems as if it comes down to a competition between Manchester City and Real Madrid, but media claims Bellingham said he prefers Real Madrid over any other club. Well, I guess in the end the money decides Even though the players always claim otherwise.

[borovichok]

In  all have seen from Tottenham Hotspur and Antonio Conte this season so far is that Tottenham needs a playmaker midfielder in January, both holberg and Bentaccur are doing there best there but they are more of defensive kind of player than offensive, Tottenham needs someone that has an eye for a final pass from deal, a holding midfielder that can still spot through ball on a regular, a player like Christian Eriksen, Ike Gundogan, thiago alcantara, they have good players up front that goes isolated in games just because they don't get good pass in a match.

Considered one of the greatest players of all time C.Ronaldo has a contract at Old Trafford until 2023. I'm looking forward to Ronaldo's address after ManU. Of course, they are trying to be cute in the teams that want to buy him in the meantime. Although Udinese did not make an official offer for Ronaldo he made his intentions clear on Instagram. Udinese goalkeeper Marco Silvestri has called Ronaldo back to Italy. The Udinese team responded to this call on Instagram with an eye emoji. I don't think Ronaldo will return to Serie A again.

It is unlikely that Cristiano Ronaldo will return to Italy in the near future. there is a possibility that Bayern Munich might be interested in approaching him in the future, and this would be the best thing for him. my opinion is that his going to Bayern Munich is obviously a good move for both parties in the long run. Bayern Munich is prepared to pay him a reasonable wage, but the question is how much are they prepared to pay him?

Honestly, i think he will have to take a pay cut as a result of this. to let him go, Manchester United will also be looking for a good amount of money in order to do so. however, on the other hand, Manchester United also does not want him on the team at the moment, so it is likely that they will be ready to let him go for a lower price as soon as they are ready to let him go.

the premier league club newcastle united is the club that is seriously interested in signing ukrainian winger Mykhaylo Mudryk from shakhtar donetsk. a signing would only be possible in the winter at the earliest.
