⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[crunck]

Selling Lewandowski is a thing of the past - there is no point in talking about how good it would be if he stayed or something like that. Now Nagelsmann has to work with what he has - either change the game plan, taking into account the fact that Bavaria does not have a center forward, or endure until the winter transfer window and buy Ronaldo (this will be the only option in winter). I don't see any other options given the state of the market and the frugality of Bavaria.

Every player has their own personal opinion; once they intend and make their decisions, they will live only to suit their desires, regardless of how good or important they are to the team.
It will be advantageous for Bayern to keep Lewandowski this season as they sign Mane and other players; however, they are still good, and I hope they sign a suitable replacement for him by January.

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.

You have made out a good point. I think buying Cristiano Ronaldo can be a very good option for Bayern Munich. Obviously, Nagelsmann has to change the game plan because otherwise, they are going to keep losing. They are really feeling the need for a prolific striker in the team. I think even though Cristiano Ronaldo is not playing very well in Manchester United, he will be able to perform better in Bayern Munich because they will have a lot more trust in him. Never thought I would be saying this but I think till then they will have to play defensively.

AFAIK Bayern said clearly and more than once that they have no intention to bring CR7. This is mainly due to his salary and his age. BTW that was said before he drops much in performance.. so why would they took him now while they can pick another young talented player? In World Cup we might discover some of them.

It is definitely true that Bayern said multiple times now that they are not interested in signing Cristiano Ronaldo. Of course they respect him as a player and there is no doubt that he is still a very good striker that can help every team, but it just makes no sense for Bayern to pay a lot of money (transfer fee + a very high salary) for a player that is already 37 years old. It also seems like the rumors about Bayern Munich being interested to sign Harry Kane after this season could really be true. This will probably be a very expensive transfer for Bayern so it would just not make any sense to pay 30 or 40 Milion € now for CR7 for only half a season.

Few weeks back Bayern Munich officially announced about this they are not interested in Cristiano Ronaldo, and they have no intention to sign him in near future but few media persons creating this hype just because of Bayern Munich current form which could be settled in coming days because they are trying on few strategies which is surely going to be set with all will be ok for them until end of this season.

Harry Kane is surely currently their target no one with his quality and skilled, but he is currently committed to Tottenham and Conte just because of this no one can give any prediction about this future if this season Tottenham going to have good result then surely he will try to stay here with Conte in any other case he can leave this without any trouble.

I see no good reason why Lukaku would want to return to Chelsea after a very disappointing performance at the club. I think Lukaku prefers to remain at Inter Milan where he feels at home and feel loved. His performance in the Seria A cannot be compared to that of the premier league. I strongly doubt Lukaku would want to play for Chelsea anymore judging from his fall out with the previous Thomas Tuchel.

Agree. Inter Milan is a very suitable club for Lukaku.
And I don't think Lukaku is the player Graham Potter wants either
Potter prefers young players, and the age of the players is something Potter is concerned about
Returning Bayer Leverkusen's Callum Hudson-Odoi and Brighton's Levi Colwill was a more logical choice for Potter.

Lukakus play style does fit in very well with Inter Milan but sooner when management feel his slow for the game they certainly will dispose him as soon as possible! But overall he still has a lot to offer for the team and I see him leaving a good name for himself there.

I see that too. Lukaku can't play so well like he was in inter for lasts seasons, After moving to the chelsea and i guess the pressure is too big for him. he was not able to resist from it. It was affecting his performance until he was moving to the intermilan. I would not be surprised to see him having  a hard time wtih intermilan like when he was also in chelsea. he must solve it as soon as possible.

You're right about that. Picking young talented player is far better rather than bringing an old player to the munich. Sadio mane needs more time to adapt with bayern. It seems like bayern must use its available resource for now to compete with another team in the bundesliga.
I know how hard bayern without pure striker that can act like lewandoski but the season is always still running no matter what happened with club

Yes that's right, it's too late for Bayern Munich to glance at CR7. like it or not, Nagelsmann must maximize the performance of his squad with existing resources. especially placing Sadio Mane in a position he likes to maximize his performance.

this situation is clearly not favorable for Bayern, they are experiencing a downward trend in the Bundesliga and will likely have an impact on matches in the champions league.
As for the pure strikers they need going forward, in my opinion, there are a lot of young players who should be given a chance instead of bringing Ronaldo to the Allianz Arena.

Ronaldo is not a good solution to close the space in the Bayern Munich squad, it is better for Munich to give young players the opportunity to get higher flying hours than having to spend money on players who are 37 years old. Bayern Munich has not found an ideal replacement to replace the position left by Lewandowski, thus making their goal tally decline and resulting in several points dropping in the Bundesliga.
Nagelsmann should not panic with the current condition of the Bayern Munich squad, there are still many options that can be done than having to sign Ronaldo from Manchester United.

Are you the latest news about Bayern's interest in Ronaldo because as far as I know this has been dismissed by the higher-ups from Bayern in the market some time ago before it closed and what I know at this time Bayern has been working with Kane instead of Ronaldo.
But seriously I agree Bayern with Kane more than Ronaldo.

Lukaku doesn't want to return to Chelsea no matter what. I don't think that Potter's arrival will change anything because Lukaku's problem wasn't with Tuchel actually. He just loves to play for Inter and he likes to live in Italy. In the circumstances it is too difficult for Chelsea to convince him.

I know that he is a temporary player at Inter for now but he would do his best to convince them to sign him permanently. As he is coming back from an injury soon we will see how passionate he is to stay.

His situation at Chelsea does not appear to be improving, he admitted. His goal is to return to Inter as soon as possible as a permanent role. It would even be acceptable for him to lower his salary in order to make a return to Italy a reality. Inter Milan, however, refused to meet the Blues asking price due to their spending restrictions. Since it's impossible to let players leave, Lakuku won't leave.

Lukaku's problem was majorly with Tuchel, Tuchel made Lukaku to struggle, play him off position and benched him when is was inform. Tuchel has a problem in his coaching style, he defend alot and makes defenders to get goals even more than attackers. His style of play is not healthy for any striker.
If Potter can convince Lukaku, he will return to London to play for Chelsea. But the chances are very slim.

Well Tuchel got along quite well with a number of strikers, but I would agree that he is too special at times and players don't get along with him very well.

It is also always a question about success: if you win trophies, nobody is complaining. If you don't but you play nice soccer, everybody still complains. Since Tuchel won the Champions League against Manchester City (not to forget!), he was kind of on the right side of things.

Tuchel's behavior is similar to that of Mourinho. They decide a lot based on their emotions as it seems. If they think someone sucks, they just put him on the bench even if the player is fit and in shape. Despite being such a complicated guy, Tuchel coached some of the biggest clubs in the world by now. I am quite sure though that he will never manage to stay with a single club for more than three or four years. He is a diva and as soon as there is no big success, he will get sacked.

[zuzie]

I see that too. Lukaku can't play so well like he was in inter for lasts seasons, After moving to the chelsea and i guess the pressure is too big for him. he was not able to resist from it. It was affecting his performance until he was moving to the intermilan. I would not be surprised to see him having  a hard time wtih intermilan like when he was also in chelsea. he must solve it as soon as possible.

What need to know is that Inter's situation is not the same as it was before Lukaku left for Chelsea. The decline in Lukaku's performance at Chelsea is one thing that needs to be considered where the pressure given by Inter will make it difficult for Lukaku to return to adapting to his old club.
I would say that Lukaku's performance will not be the same as it was before he left to Chelsea, there are several factors and one of them is Inter's current situation.

But seriously I agree Bayern with Kane more than Ronaldo.

Rumors of Bayern's interest in Ronaldo have emerged since the June transfer window. But, in fact Ronaldo still wants to be with Manchester United to give a chance till this season end. If Manchester United can't improve their performance this season and can't play in the UCL next season, then maybe Bayern will go back to trying to sign Ronaldo again.

[Lordhermes]

Let's talk about Erickson Christian free transfer to Manchesterd united, i can't believe manchested united got him for free. Such a player. Ever since his arriver in to the team, he has brought stability and has improved the attack compare what manchested united had last season. Pairing with Bruno is paying off, from a prayer some British pundits called bench warmer to manchester  player of the month of September.

I have never doubted his ability, from the very first day he signed as Manchesterer united player i knew his ready for a new challenge. after he survived the heart attack, I congratulate him for winning the manchester united player of the month. Am quite sure he will achieve beyond this in the season if he continues in this form.

If Manchester United can't improve their performance this season and can't play in the UCL next season, then maybe Bayern will go back to trying to sign Ronaldo again.

Yes, Ronaldo may only last until the end of this season at Manchester United if at the end of the season they don't finish in the top 4. Ronaldo's ambition is still about the Champions League although I don't think Manchester United will be able to compete tightly in the competition.

Actually, Ronaldo's chances of playing in the Champions League with a team like Bayern Munich are much higher than Manchester United's, which is trying to improve its performance. If possible, next season we will see in Germany. Even with Bayern Munich, Ronaldo will probably be closer to the final than his current team. Bayern Munich are the favorites in Europe's top competition.

[Harkorede]

Nagelsmann should not panic with the current condition of the Bayern Munich squad, there are still many options that can be done than having to sign Ronaldo from Manchester United.

Any team that chooses to sign Ronaldo right is actually being shortsighted and isn't looking to solve a long term problem, there were already discussions about the post-Lewandowski era, and the last way or the most ridiculous way to solve that problem is by going for Ronaldo, simply because Ronaldo doesn't another 3-4 for years of top performance in him, if we are trying to face the factual reality, they should be looking for prospective replacement that are rather relatively young, and still have some 8years to a decade of future ahead of them, not someone bound to probably quit after a couple of years more, there are very young centre forwards out there that'd give everything up to play for Bayern Munich.

[FanEagle]

So inevitably Nagelsmann must target several main strikers in the next transfer window to improve Bayern's performance going forward. however, currently bayern munich have to play with existing players.
I'm not saying that their overall performance has decreased greatly. it's just that they don't have a finisher striker as the main Target Man like when there was Lewandowski.
so let's see, what strategy will Nagelsmann apply in that match. but I assume, Mane will still be the main striker.

As for Leverkusen, many people assume that Bayern will have a hard time in this match, but in fact it is Leverkusen who really need a win to rise so they can not fall to the bottom of the Bundesliga. I predict Bayern will win the game with a score of 2-1.

Finding a good striker is not that easy, especially when you are a team as good as Bayern. The reality is that other lower level teams could find a striker and it would be easy for them because there are thousands of strikers in the world that could be good for them.

But, when you are a team at Bayerns level then it means you need to find a superstar if you can, get the best striker in the world if you could, but of course they cannot get those ones right now, so they are going to go a bit lower but can't go lower too much. This is the team Lewandowski broke the whole bundesliga one season goal record, so they cannot just get anyone they want, it’s going to be very tough.

And I don't think that Bayern Munich will be very much interested once again in signing Christiano Ronaldo come next season's window transfer as they were this ended window transfer , even if that rumour was to be truth. As it stands so for club side , Ronaldo isn't a good business for the Bayern Munich in my opinion, both in terms of age, performance, and the transfer fee except in terms of signing to sell more of their jersey next season or as a celebrity player.

Maybe there will be two Bayern Munich options for next season's transfer between Ronaldo and Harry Kane who is rumored to be signing for Bayern Munich as well.

Ronaldo's ambition is in the Champions League, and right next season he will be at the age of 38 it's not ideal anymore, but he wants to have a good chance at a UCL place at any club, but can Bayern Munich will sign Ronaldo for a short duration because of course at that age his performance has decreased although some still expect him to still appear, but in other rumors Harry Kane is the main priority maybe he will fit in with Bayern Munich maybe with a long contract duration.

I would not be surprised to see him having  a hard time wtih intermilan like when he was also in chelsea. he must solve it as soon as possible.

Lukaku is no longer needed by Chelsea because of his strained relationship with the supporters. While still at Chelsea last year, he wrote numerous negative things about the team on social media, participated in interviews, and made absurd comments about them. He wasn't at all content, and I am aware that he would prefer to join another team for a different challenge than Chelsea where he is not welcomed, he cannot play. His unexpected underperformance in inter is surprising, and his career is inevitably nearing to an end. To help Chelsea sell him for a good price, he must stay in shape and put in a lot of effort.

To be honest i don't think that the situation at Bayern Munich is that bad at all. Of course it is very unusual for them to be unsuccessful in Bundesliga matches four times in a row and they have even lost the last one. I think this has not happened in the last 20 years or so. If you have watched those games though then it was also pretty obvious that Bayern Munich was not playing that badly in at least 3 of those games. So there was also a lot of bad luck for Bayern involved and of course it is also their own fault because they were so inefficient with the goal scoring.
I still think they should not buy a new striker in the winter.

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.

Mbappe ought to have move to Real Madrid in the last transfer market considering the contract  he was offered by Madrid, but PSG decided to extend his contract by three years while giving him a mouthwatering offer worth £4m monthly including other terms which is far better than Madrid, from my own point of view such an offer is irresistible and there is the tendency of contract extension if the present one expired and PSG major priority and ambition is to win the coveted UCL trophy this season having dominated the Ligue-1 for many seasons this was one of the reasons of keeping Mbappe at all cost.

PSG done more than they afford for keeping Mbappé and this all just because of their desire to win Champions League because this is surely having some positive impact but sadly recently all soccer world watching how childish behavior is Mbappé with his teammates which is creating mess up, and they are fail to have any positive result in Champions League even new coach doing good job but still they need to be better in Champions League because this year is going to be very important for the management if they fail to have their desired result then certainly it's going to be the worst case and most chances we will have some big changes in this club.

Even many expecting changes of management also can happen because this failure is surely going to be had some serious trouble for them in future and change of coach which happened in last transfer window was also just because of their desire for having Champions League title but managements treatment policy is also under fire because they need to be change this as well.

The problem is that Mbappe has got a taste of higher power. It will be really hard for him to let it go. I am quite sure that if he does go to Real Madrid he will have to take a pay cut. I am also not sure that he is going to agree to that as well. But right now I don't believe that going to Real Madrid is a necessity for him. Because PSG is doing quite well right now. The team is performing well together and under the authority of the new coach, they are performing well. But if this time they cannot win the Champions League title I think not only him but also other players like Neymar and Messi also will take moving into serious consideration.

[rugrats]

It looks like Sergio Busquets will stop playing football and will enjoy his old age to rest or maybe also do business again as a football coach even though he is still not too old to be a soccer coach, but if he until now still hasn't shown where he will go because Sergio Busquets is still too in love with Barcelona. But usually those who are not extended at Barcelona will be targeted by other clubs, so it depends on whether Sergio Busquets wants to continue his football career or not.

Busquets is likely to leave Barcelona in the summer and continue his career in MLS. He said that it was important for him to play in the main team and I think that the amount of the contract is take not the last place in this choice. Many star players continue their careers in the MLS. Busquets has had a great career at Barcelona, he's been with the team since 2008 and I think of players like that that they should finish their career at the club where they spent their best time.

Sergio Busquets is surely one of the legendary players at Barcelona and now like Messi he also decided to leave this club after 14 years of his amazing performance but good thing most chances he is still going to play for some more years because he feels he can do this and his body is also allowing him to do this for some more years than it's good with this now he is transferring into MLS which is surely heaven for old players from UEFA having good money and some good last seasons in soccer, so he is also doing with this as CDM position now World Cup and then MLS surely going to be good for him in next few years and good money making portunities in MLS which is also important for player like Sergio Busquets.

I saw articles in many places that he is going to be playing in the MLS  from next season. He has provided great service to Barcelona and the Barcelona family should be ever grateful to him as he has been one of the best defensive midfielders of all time. He might not have been one of the strongest defensive midfielders but he read the game as no one else did. I think that he can work as a coach after he retires from MLS and who knows maybe he will coach Barcelona one day like Xavi right now.

[RealMalatesta]

You're right about that. Picking young talented player is far better rather than bringing an old player to the munich. Sadio mane needs more time to adapt with bayern. It seems like bayern must use its available resource for now to compete with another team in the bundesliga.
I know how hard bayern without pure striker that can act like lewandoski but the season is always still running no matter what happened with club

Yes that's right, it's too late for Bayern Munich to glance at CR7. like it or not, Nagelsmann must maximize the performance of his squad with existing resources. especially placing Sadio Mane in a position he likes to maximize his performance.

this situation is clearly not favorable for Bayern, they are experiencing a downward trend in the Bundesliga and will likely have an impact on matches in the champions league.
As for the pure strikers they need going forward, in my opinion, there are a lot of young players who should be given a chance instead of bringing Ronaldo to the Allianz Arena.

I am not entirely sure if that would be impossible for them to do. I mean it looks like CR7 is still not that happy at United, and Bayern would be a team he would fit perfectly for and that could still happen. I understand that transfer window might be closed right now, but they could get him for the second part of the season maybe? I do not know if there are any work arounds or anything like that but it would definitely be something to look at.

It’s a smart idea for both teams and also the player at the same time and you do not see that type of "fits great for everyone" type of transfers that easily. Would be hard, but not impossible to achieve.
