⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Pokapoka124]

The next transfer window will be very interesting, many teams will be active in the market to replace injured players and some players will be departing for new clubs so I'm expecting some surprise moves to be done in January. The issue with Ronaldo have been talked about since August and it will be a relief to finally see what is in store for the legend so we can move on from this speculations.

[Furious 7]

Agree with what you said, even though Ronaldo is currently still a very good option, especially in productivity scoring goals but of course they can still look for potential young players rather than expecting someone who is quite phenomenal like Ronaldo but his career will definitely end in a few more years.
They are also not ambitious in bringing in Ronaldo so there is no reason for those with the financial condition to do this.

If we refer to the last four matches of Bayern Munich, it is clear that Bayern need a main striker to break their deadlock. and in last night's match, Bayern put Muller as the main striker. although they won by a landslide score, but placing Muller as the main striker was an emergency option. which means, Bayern need a main striker as a replacement for Lewandowski.

As for Sadio Mane, no one doubts him but he is not a pure striker. and it looks like Nagelsmann will be targeting several players in the upcoming transfer window. however, the choice is not on Ronaldo.
as you said, Bayern are more interested in young players with more potential than expecting someone quite phenomenal like Ronaldo.

Indeed, in this case I agree with Bayern to add a striker there but do not have to force Ronaldo, which is clearly rejected by the higher-ups.
Even though in the match the day before they won a landslide victory by changing some schemes that gave Mane wings and Muller as a striker but obviously this is still not the best form in my opinion because Muller is good but his best position is not there so they need a pure striker.

It's been reported since the last transfer window though that nkunku willing to move to premier league side like chelsea and manchester united but the club stated that going to reject any proposal coming to them but this time the rumor seems a bit different.

Chelsea might have an insider agent that could make this transfer happened despite the long term contract.

There is some information circulating right now but it looks like this will continue to provide a sensation until the transfer window opens.
At the moment he still hasn't spoken much in these rumours and some of Nkunku's closest people have said that at the moment there is still no agreement whatsoever about him and Chelsea or any club.
Nkunku himself has a release clause of 60 million depending on who dares now because at the moment there are several clubs and of course Manchester United and Chelsea are the frontrunners.

A 2-year contract has been offered to Argentine star Leo Messi by Paris Saint-Germain. There is an option to extend the contract for an additional year, with a salary of €30 million net per year. For now, he needs to take it as he has somehow adapted to Paris. Despite my dislike of Messi being at PSG and the disrespect shown to him by Barcelona, I still don't want him to return to the club. Despite Barcelona's faults, Messi has to go back to the team that made him who he is today and now they need him.

Messi is such a wonderful and a lucky player. He is so lucky to have such amount of money in his contract even at his age not even a year contract but two years contract with an option for extension. Messi has completely adapted to PSG team so there is no need to have a double mind accepting the juicy offer. What I don't understand is when you said that Messi not going back to the club that made him even when they need him most. Does Barcelona actually need Messi that badly ? I think Barcelona is good without Messi

Barcelona doesn't really need Messi anymore, they just miss him considering Messi already become a legend on Barcelona. When someone remember Barcelona, they will remember Messi is playing for Barcelona. Messi is just want to get huge pay check, that's the reason why he joined PSG. I think Messi wouldn't get kicked from PSG since Messi is the way how PSG can generate more money from the player popularity and fame.

Actually in this case I still feel better if they don't push too hard to bring Messi back.
Even though he is a legend and of course Iconic, they still have to be able to get rid of this desire.
I still think that Messi's arrival will be another problem in the future considering that currently in Messi's position there are already Dembele and Raphinha and they are playing very well at the moment.

The speculation about Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't seem to be over yet
Sources from several media report that the Portuguese star's desire to leave Manchester United was still a hot topic, although in the end Ronaldo play his first match in the Europa League with the Red Devils which became the answer that Ronaldo would stay in Manchester. United at least until his contract expires next summer.
To date Cristiano Ronaldo has played 8 match with Manchester United since the season start, yes although the minutes are still far from what we expect

Just because Ronaldo has played in the Europa League doesn't mean he can't play in the Champions League this season. If between the Champions League and the Europa League there was a transition of clubs towards the Champions League, and not only towards the Europa League (3rd place in the Champions League group stage goes to the Europa League), then the transition would not be possible. So if everything goes right, he will leave United in the winter and have time to play in the Champions League.

James Maddison and Youri Tielemans both are under their radar at the moment. As Leicester are having a terrible season and under the threat of relegation, Newcastle must be thinking that it would be easier for them to convince them. However I'm pretty confident that there would be some bigger teams to try to sign them as well.

Those are two very talented players, and with the current situation in their club it would make sense to believe that sooner rather than later they might prolly leave for another club, if true then it is smart for Newcastle to be monitoring their situation, like you said there would prolly be other clubs doing the same thing, but Newcastle can prolly give them a big contract to further convince them to make the switch to the St James' park, we'd see how things pan out.

Having said that, another thing is that even if these players would leave, i doubt it'd be in January, it would prolly be by the next summer transfer window, but despite that, it still makes sense to start putting plans in place, that's how club's with a vision operate, they look at the long term and start making purposeful plans.

I think it makes more sense if James Maddison and Youri Tielemans leave the club. The reason being that at this point it feels like Leicester City are not being able to take advantage of the potential of both of these players. Both of these players are very much capable of playing quite well when they are given the chance. I think the club is going to try to keep them in the squad because they know how big of a potential these two players have. But at the same time, I don't believe the players are going to stay even though they are offered a good amount of money.

Messi is a player who plays with so much passion and enthusiasm the reason PSG saw it fit to renew their contract with him. I think he was able to adapt faster with PSG because he dropped all he had achieved in Barcelona aside ( he didn't allow all he had achieved spring up any form of pride in him) to play as a normal player taking orders from the likes on Mbappe which shows a high level of maturity and passion. He don't need to return to Barcelona because he is doing just fine at PSG

With Leicester's current condition, it is very likely that something like this still exists, especially with the interest of several big clubs who offer quite a fantastic price for this player but indeed this will also be a risk for Leicester because they will indirectly have more gaps to penetrate and they must prepare for the worst.

There was lot of interest in both the players. With Tielemans, player actually wants a new challenge but the club denied the offers as manager really wants the player as he is crucial in midfield. It's same with Maddison when a PL club showed interest in him if I recall things correctly. Now as long as Rodgers is there, I think it will be hard to bring players unless an irresistible bid arrives but with Foxes not performing its possible that he might be sacked and maybe bringing these players might become easier perhaps.

But at the same time, I don't believe the players are going to stay even though they are offered a good amount of money.

Honestly, its hard to say as you don't know what a player wants. But I also don't think these are kind of players who will choose money over growth.

If man utd are in a bad position i think he will definetly think about this options and change for a champions league club. His playing time is reduced by a large amount and i think he isnt satisfied with it. He needs more goal chances and he aint getting that in the epl or europe league

Now Ronaldo role as a complement to the Manchester United squad, he spends more time on the bench than being given playing time. Ronaldo is having a difficult time at Manchester United. He has to accept the fact that the team he is playing for is currently absent in the Champions League and this season he has not been included in Ten Hag main squad. Ronaldo must make wise decisions for himself after his contract with Manchester United expires, Ronaldo must choose a club that can help to achieve his desire to play in the Champions League.

It is true that I do not want him to return to Barcelona, but at the same time I am not sure if staying at PSG will be a good idea for him as well. Despite this, PSG is currently playing well at the moment. Thus, I think that staying could be a good idea in the long run. In the last season, I would have said he should move on and find another team if it was the last season. However, this season PSG is playing well and the players also seem to be finding some form as they seem to be in good form. But I still don't think they will be able to achieve the ultimate goal which is winning the Champions League title.

Messi have been impressive in recent games and I must admit that I miss watching Messi at his best. It's a nice gesture from PSG finally rewarding the star player with an extended contract offer which he will be earning €30 million net per year. It is really nice to see Messi finally blend in with team and now making important and vital contributions to the team.

I am someone who always wants to see players choose growth over money. I would really not appreciate it if they do the opposite. Every time chooses money over his growth and legacy I absolutely despise that decision but at the same time, I also understand that there are certain situations in a player's life when he might need to make these types of decisions. Tielemans is a great player and if he concentrates on improving I am quite sure that he is going to be one of the best players in the world. And the same goes for Maddison. But the players are going to need to decide which path they choose to walk.

I don't think that Messi will be in a hurry to extend his contract with PSG now.

Because he must be still hopeful about an offer from Barcelona side at the end of the season. As you can remember, he was very willing to continue there before coming to PSG but Barcelona couldn't afford him even though he was ready to take a huge pay cut in his wage. But who knows maybe this summer we can see Barcelona making an offer for him. Laporta already said that their door was always open for Messi to come back home. Messi would just wait for a probable offer otherwise his one-year extension option would be triggered.

Todd Boehly is bent on improving the Chelsea squad, there have been big names joining the club since the takeover and they are still working on bringing in more signings. I was reading about a possible move for Nkunku shows how determined the club is to make reinforcements to strengthen the squad and Nkunku will be a very good signing for Chelsea.

Ronaldo is not a player to rely on now, he is not very active in performance like before because of age. Bayern Munich needs a kind of player that is young and talented. Let's take a look at Ronaldo in Manchester United,  he is not the main strength of Manchester United. The only advantage of Bayern Munich signing Ronaldo is that they will generate more money from the sale of jerseys. Signing Ronaldo will also require lots of money for Bayern Munich.

Oh my god, you all talk about his age, did you even watch the Manchester United games? Or do you really think that in the three months of the break he got so old that he stopped playing well. After all, last season he was playing fine. Most likely he just lacks playing practice. And besides, his mother recently said he would play until he was 40.

Most of the folks here making commentary about Ronaldo don't even watch any match. All they do is check results from livescores and stats. They forget so quickly that Ronaldo was Manchester United's top scorer last season. He was the 3rd top scorer in the EPL with 18 goals. He out scored younger Harry Kane and the likes

He saved Manchester United from many embarrassing situations, but now that he is not getting enough play time this season, people are so quick to judge negatively.

That's why I'm saying that over the summer break he couldn't, purely physically, get older and suddenly start playing worse. I'm sure that if he had been given more games in the main roster he would have continued to score goals and aspire to the "top scorer of the season. That's what the coach decided - to change his tactics and strategy. And the coach in this situation can't be condemned, he understands that Ronaldo will soon finish his career and he needs to think up something new.
