⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[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.

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.

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]

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.

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.

[Franctoshi]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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]

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.

It wouldn't be surprising to see Ronaldo leaving Manchester United in the middle of the season.

Because things are still not going well for him. He is still not giving good signals with his performance either. His effort against Spain was quite poor for example. He wasted so many goal chances which might have blocked the way for him to join some big teams. Of course they wouldn't take only one match into account but he hasn't been impressive in the matches he found chances to play. Bayern Munich refuted the speculations about Ronaldo to join them before.

However if they don't find another alternative then they might really sign him. But his contract might not be for long as they would look for younger players in the summer. They just need a decent striker immediately to improve their form.

But in this case I also read that he denies this and is still only a rumor even though there are indeed some tempting offers from MLS clubs but until now he still has not shown signs of going there.
On the other hand, I also read several articles that rumored that he was interested in Newcastle to add strength to their midfield.

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.

I still believe that the Mbappe could boost a lot his career in La Liga with Real Madrid but he already took his decision to stay in PSG.
Honestly I don't see PSG more powerful than this season, they have everything to win Champions League, I can't imagine what will happen to them if they don't.. Messi will eventually try to get back to Barcelona if possible. Otherwise Neymar won't find a better salary so I think he will stay with PSG. Mbappe will be forced to stay in PSG, he doesn't have much choices..

[Alanaz]

Not. When the officials at Bayern Munich are not interested then it is definitely not really worth it for them to do. I know he can still be competitive. but it's a teamwork and Bayern still hold on to that philosophy so when something like this happens there's no reason for them to bring in Ronadlo.
Talks about him to Bayern had actually ended when club officials said they were not interested and there was really nothing else to link Ronaldo with Bayern.

Since they can't get Harry Kane Ronaldo will be the next option
Bayern will do poorly if they don't get a striker to replace Lewandoski
They can still get other options even if it's not Ronaldo.

You put aside the fact that Bayern don't want Ronaldo at Bayern.
And with this it will actually become clear that they can't bring in Kane as you say there are still many options and it's not just Ronaldo. Bayern still adhere to their philosophy and Ronaldo is not included in theirs.
Bayern still have to find a striker but definitely not Ronaldo.

Sergio Busquets loyalty and contribution to Barcelona is unquestionable, Busquets in his professional football career started from 2008 until now
only playing for Barcelona. It would be a shame if Sergio Busquets had to end his career in another team. It would be even more memorable if
Sergio Busquets could end his career at Barcelona, so I hope he doesn't move to MLS. Hopefully Barcelona management can convince Sergio Busquets
to change his decision at the end of this season to leave Barcelona. At least I think Sergio Busquets can still play at Barcelona for two more seasons
and eventually retire at Barcelona. But we really have to respect Sergio Busquets decision if in the end Sergio Busquets decides to move to another team.
Because only Sergio Busquets knows what is best for him.

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.

Actually, Ronaldo stays in Man United because he failed to move to another team. If Bayern is really serious to sign him, I am sure Ronaldo will consider it, and probably agree to move to Bayern Munich because he needs a new challenge in a different league. Bayern is a perfect place for him to play before he retires from football. I think Ronaldo won't consider staying at Man United although Man United can improve its performance. Moreover, he spend more time on the bench lately, Ronaldo must feel very disappointed with that situation.

[Coyster]

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.

Mbappe is committed to PSG, and i expect him to see out his contract with them. Real Madrid really wanted him and at one point it looked like they were going to get their desired man, but after quite a lot of pressure from some prominent people in France, Mbappe accepted to stay, and according to rumors he was rewarded with a big role in the club, asides his role/job on the pitch. Florentino Perez openly criticized PSG as a club as well as Mbappe, i don't know if he will still be interested in him in the future, after all that furore.

Having said that, as for Messi and Neymar leaving PSG if they don't win the Champions League this season, i don't think so, the both of them are former CL winners, and if they are to leave PSG, it will be for other reasons and not a failure to win the CL, they also have a huge wage/salary, and are both above 30, definitely it would prolly be impossible to get a club that will maintain that salary structure, except they willingly take paycuts.

[AndySt]

If Bayern is really serious to sign him, I am sure Ronaldo will consider it, and probably agree to move to Bayern Munich because he needs a new challenge in a different league.

Moreover, he spend more time on the bench lately, Ronaldo must feel very disappointed with that situation.

There is information that Ronaldo has not changed his mind and his request to leave the team is still valid, so I think that in the winter transfer window we will expect a continuation of the soap opera called "Cristiano Ronaldo wants to leave Manchester United for a club that participates in the Champions League." Another question is that the group stage will already be over and the number of clubs of potential candidates for the transition will be halved. And if Ronaldo does not immediately take up a sharp improvement in his game and statistics at Manchester United, then Cristiano expects an even more grandiose failure in his attempts to change the club. And I can't imagine yet which stars in the sky should develop in a special way for Bayern to want to sign Ronaldo. Too many rather specific words on this matter were expressed by the bosses of Bayern Munich.

Yep, Bayern decided not to sign Ronaldo, Bayern pursued other transfer targets. Case close
And it looks like Julian Nagelsmann is not worried about Sadio Mane's slump in form,
he still believes Mane and instead labeled him one of the best players in the world.

Since World Cup is to take place in November, all eyes will be there to find new talents.
But there will be very few quality player options that can significantly improve a team's performance.
