⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[makishart]

Romelu Lukaku doesn't think of coming back to Chelsea after his loan contract with Chelsea ends. I find it normal as he hasn't been happy for a long time after signing for Chelsea. It was one of the worst deals for Chelsea in their history by the way. They sold him to Inter for 74 million euros and bought him back for 113 million. But now Lukaku doesn't even want to play for Chelsea in the future anymore.

Inter might even continue to extend his loan until the end of his contract to sign him without a transfer fee. We haven't watched properly at Inter yet as he has been injured for some time. But I bet he is very happy to return here. He would surely show that to us by his effort.

That must be a good decision by lukaku as chelsea didn't need him and he needs to find another club to use his service. I hope that he will be getting the right club. it seems like that he didn't like how chelsea was treating him like he has no value. Chelsea has been making so many bad decision. This team was selling their players for cheap price and then they are buying back again with the higher price which is non sense in my opinion.
Chelsea must have stopped that trend caused by that will be so bad for the financial club.

Nagels position is in the spotlight after some disappointing results for Bayern Munich, when the team performance started to become unbalanced it was the coach who was in the spotlight the most. Returning Bayern Munich to its original form of performance is the task of Nagels to gain the trust of all team officials and also the fans.
It has become a club tradition that if the team's performance begins to decline, the coach will become a victim and immediately be replaced with a new boss. The match against Leverkusen is a challenge for Nagels to get an additional three points, on paper Bayern Munich can easily beat Leverkusen, but when on the field surprises can happen as experienced by Munich against Augsburg.

Why wouldn't be the coach that is getting the first sack, after all the team is a good team isn't it? Can you look at that roster and tell me they do not deserve to be at the top? They definitely deserve to be the best team and they are not so far and if this keeps up then Nagelsmann would be the first one to go, it's obvious choice.

A manager’s job is not just to put out a tactic, it's also to put fire under players, do whatever you need to do and get those points. If you keep failing that then you are going to be sacked because that was literally your only job. At the end of the day with him or without him, they are going to win the title again with such a robust roster.

...according to this ranking the forward from psg Kylian Mbappe is in first place and close behind is the new man city forward Erling Haaland

Sometimes i can't imagine how much City bought Haaland for; when i look at Erling Haaland's market value in this ranking, and compare it with what City paid Dortmund (€60m) to acquire his services, then i think from City's perspective it was an absolute bargain, and a wonderful piece of transfer business from the Etihad club, i know they aren't selling Haaland anytime soon, absolutely not; but i can imagine if they are to put Haaland up for sale right now, he'll be on for above €100m. City are definitely going to have Haaland for a very long time, and he's going to score a plethora of goals and win numerous titles with City.

Can Mbappe to Madrid happen sometime in the future? After the saga of a few months ago.

Maybe indeed he is better at Inter because Chelsea seems to still be applying the same scheme as before but if circumstances force him to have to be at Chelsea maybe he should also try with Potter now. Regardless, it is very difficult for Inter at this time to buy Lukaku because the price is still very expensive for Inter to buy. the chance of extra time on loan is still possible but do Chelsea want to do that?

Money is becoming a joke these days. I would like to imagine how much cost a player like Ronaldo9, Roberto Carlos, Ronaldinho, Zidane and the other old gold folks if we compare them to the one listed in the table? €300m? more maybe?
I don't have an objection about the ranking but seeing the amount of money posted there, I feel it is very overrated..

[Alanaz]

Using Ronaldo? Even their higher-ups didn't want him to be at Bayern in the recent transfer window lol.
They can't do anything now because indeed the best way is to change their scheme in the match because regretting not bringing a Striker on the market a while ago is now in vain.

FC Bayern officials took a clear stance against a Cristiano Ronaldo transfer early on. That makes a transfer in the winter transfer window very unlikely. In addition to that, CR7 is not a good fit for Bayern - his attitude doesn't fit to the Bayern MiaSanMia style in which all is about the team and not single players.

And not only that, of course CR7's salary would be a huge issue. He's getting older and his performances get weaker. How do you want to explain it to the rest of the team that he would be the one and only star of the team? Not only when it comes to publicity, but also the salary? Highly unlikely, if you ask me.

FC Bayern has never been a club that spends exorbitant sums on individual players. And fortunately, that will not change in near future.

Therefore, bringing Ronaldo to the Allianz Arena is clearly impossible for now because Bayern's philosophy is very different from Ronaldo's playing style.
We know that some of the officials there didn't want to bring him in transfers last season and now it will be the same because they realize that bringing in Ronaldo could be a blunder for themselves.

[KTChampions]

Even if Lewandowski stayed at Bayern, it would not change the problem that the club would be forced to deal with the problem of his departure. Well, if he left a year or two later (due to age) - I don’t see any fundamental differences. Top clubs solve the problem of leaving their stars in advance, for example, Real got rid of Ronaldo long before he passed his peak (or at least an acceptable level of play to be in Real) and nothing tragic happened to Real.
But of course it's funny that everything is shaping up so that in the end Ronaldo can be the savior of Bayern in the winter.

Don't say even if lawendowski had stayed at Bayern Munich they will still be struggling,this is a player that have been playing for Bayern Munich for up to five years now and each of those years he has scored more than twenty five goals, he is world class, and the best number in Europe for the past eight years, such players must surely be missed if they leave any club, funny you said everything is shaping up for Christiano Ronaldo to fill his boot, but those are the kind of players you replace the Poland ice with.

I didn't understand your point of view. In your opinion, when did Bayern have to change Lewandowski? In a year, in two? Or then when it would already become obvious (for example, due to the failure of the season) that he is no longer as good as before? Serious clubs do not wait for problems, they solve them in advance.
As for Ronaldo, as funny as it may be, he will be the only option for top clubs that want to get themselves a qualified centre-forward this winter.

I would like to know the method of calculating this rating. Is Neymar worse than Vlahovic or Kane and not worthy of being in this ranking? Neymar is close (only a few goals left) to surpass Pele's record for goals for the national team, and he is far from old. Another confirmation that all these ratings are subjective.
It would also be interesting to look at this ranking in terms of salaries paid to the player - it is obvious that Mbappe, with his astronomical salary, would be far from the first place. Because the ratio of cost per player to the result that the player generates would be very weak.

I think it would be beneficial for both if Ronaldo joins Bayern Munich. Ronaldo is still one of the best strikers in the world. Bayern Munich now needs a regular scorer. And I think Ronaldo will be able to score a lot of goals with Bayern Munich's strong squad. But Bayern's contract with Ronaldo will not be profitable for more than 1 or 2 years. And in the meantime, Bayern Munich will have to find a replacement for Ronaldo.

Honestly Man City paid a reasonable sign-on fee for the signing Haaland from Borussia Dortmund compared to Man Utd sign-on fee of Brazil winger Anthony £86m from Ajax whose market value is not in the top 10 mentioned above, though he has not been given enough chances to prove himself, nevertheless I don't think his market value will worth that of Haaland at the end of the season, another similar new signing was Isak from Real Sociedad worth 60 million pounds by Newcastle whose market value no where in top 10, I believe some of these clubs embarked on panic signings thus paid outrageous fees for those players.

[BitcoinAccepted]

I don't really see any reason why Mbappe would want to go to Real Madrid. Even though Real Madrid have won the CL a few times recently, PSG are a better team. And Mbappe's salary can also easily be paid by PSG. Now he plays at the forefront along with Messi and Neymar, isn't that what everyone wants? Benzema will not be happy with the arrival of Mbappe, because he is the number 1 striker there, and Mbappe wants that too. Mbappe is seen as the best striker in the world right now, but as long as PSG don't win the CL it has little value. And what should Mbappe cost? We're talking about 200 million or maybe more.

Man United often buy players too expensive, so I'm not surprised if Man United buy Antony for too high a price. Maybe because Man United made
a mistake by buying Antony close to the transfer market closing, so Ajax raised the price of Antony. In fact, if Man United bought Antony at
the beginning of the summer transfer window, I'm sure Ajax would sell Antony at a price that wasn't too high. Man United wasted a lot of time with
the negotiation process to get Frenkie de Jong, which ultimately Man United failed to get De Jong. Hopefully Antony can make a big contribution to
Man United, so Man United does not regret spending a high transfer fee.

It's the same with Newcastle which in my opinion is too expensive to spend a transfer fee to bring in Isak, indeed some Premier League clubs
who have very strong financial strength often buy players at unreasonable prices. In contrast to Man City which I think is smarter in issuing
transfer fees, like you said they brought in Haaland and a few other players for a more reasonable price. Even Man City rejected Brighton's request
for Marc Cucurella's exorbitant transfer fee. A team should not be too obsessed with players and pay too high a fee, later if the performance of
the player purchased is not as expected, they will feel regret.

Manchester city definitely have a rare gem on their hands, it is so shocking when you think of how much Haaland was bought for and how much quality he brings to this Manchester city side. It is a really good bargain Manchester City have with Haaland, he is such a terrific player, scoring goals for fun and keeping City at the top of the league. With Haaland city now looks formidable and difficult to complete against.

Mbappe will want to move to Real Madrid to fulfill his childhood dream of playing for Real Madrid, tbh Real Madrid have the capability to sign Mbappe, this transfer is very likely to happen in the future. I will love to see Mbappe in Madrid and linking up with the likes of Rodrygo, Vinicius and the rest of the young and talented Madrid team and I have a feeling these players will blend in very fine and will form a more formidable partnership at all positions for Real Madrid.

Did someone say that Psg is a better Clun that Real Madrid and also said that Benzema won't be happy for Mbappe to go Real Madrid? I can say that you are not sensitive to what is happening in football. Benzema happens to be the most angry person as Mbappe deal failed. Benzema is old and can't lose his kingship to anyone. Do you watch Benzema and Mbappe in France to know that both can play with each other without problems?
Can you tell me why you said that PSG is a better team than Real Madrid?

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.

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.

I would say Nagelsmann should change his formation. But it seems he won't do it. Because after the formation change, the team also needs some time to stabilize. So maybe Nagelsmann will decide to change the position of Sadio Mane in the next match. I think he will probably use Muller as the main striker. Sadio Mane is more likely to be on the left wing. Probably will keep the same position as Bayern Munich played against Barcelona.

The Leverkusen team is not strong this season I know it too. But this team's performance is erratic. I don't think Bayern Munich can win if they don't play well. Bayern Munich must perform very carefully in this match.

Both are better but it's better if he will be still staying at PSG rather than going to the real madrid. This caused by he may not have the same amounts of time to play in the main squad. I meant the competition in real madrid between any players is very strict at this moment. He may also become substitution for another player like benzema. PSG gives him what he wants and he was always playing in the main squad. he was also getting paid with big salary by owner of PSG.
that must be enough for him to stay in PSG rather than going to the real madrid

[RealMalatesta]

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.

"In the future" is something that is quite tough when we are talking about Ronaldo. I mean he is already old enough, getting him next season for example would be even older player, and yes he is still decent enough but I would prefer if they got someone younger. I get that they lost their chances for Haaland, but there are other strikes in the world that they could get and take advantage of their young age.

With Ronaldo that is maybe 1-2 season covering the issue, maybe not even that much and he would be straight up bad for them because even if it's Ronaldo we are talking about, even he can't beat father time and he will eventually get worse.

Mbappe must venture in a league that is more elite than Ligue 1 for more challenges in his career. He is still young, he is also a very talented player, if Mbappe moves to Real Madrid it will not be difficult for him to get a place in the first squad because of his above average quality and skill. Benzema presence in the Real Madrid squad is not an obstacle for Mbappe to penetrate the main squad, when measured in terms of quality and age, Mbappe is superior to Benzema. But if Mbappe is more concerned with money than his career, he will stay with PSG because he can get luxuries there.

Mbappe is a player with talent and potential. But he is selfish. He wants to be the most important player in the squad. So I'd say Mbappe needs to pick a club that has fewer star strikers. If Mbappe is considered as Benjema's replacement, Mbappe may move to Real Madrid. However, if Mbappe plays in the Real Madrid squad with Benzema, I think Real Madrid's performance will deteriorate further. Because Mbappe can't adapt himself to Messi and Neymar at PSG.
