⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[arimamib]

I don't see the possibility of mbappe going to Manchester United. Ronaldo being his childhood Idol does not mean he could easily go to Manchester United.
Mbappe is a young player and he is very much interested about the money which Manchester United might not afford to give because they already have a big player like Ronaldo who they are paying large. however if Manchester United manages to qualify for Champions League next year there is a very big possibility that any big player would want to come to Manchester United

No, Mbappe will not go to Manchester United even though Ronaldo was a childhood idol for Mbappe doesn't mean he can easily leave PSG to go to MU. Mbappe has had the luxury of being with PSG, it is very difficult for other teams to give what Mbappe has now. Real Madrid are the only team that can hijack Mbappe from PSG, but Madrid should think twice about signing Mbappe because of his super high salary.

Snip.

I won't say it was a mistake letting Lewandowski go in the summer because at the time the situation was out of their hands, Lewandowski wanted a move and for the long time been with the club it is only normal and an act of respect and gratitude to grant his wish. Mane coming in was a good move and I expected he would fit in immediately and cover up for Lewandowski.

Bayern Munich could not hold Lewandowski any longer, because his contract was almost up, Bayern Munich decision to sell Lewandowski was very appropriate because if they let Lewandowski continue with them, Lewandowski could leave on a free transfer because his contract with Munich was up. Munich had done everything to keep Lewandowski with them, but the player's desire to leave was irresistible.
From a business perspective, Munich is very profitable because it can sell players who are old at high prices. But in terms of the lack of players in their squad, Munich feel at a loss because they have not been able to find an ideal replacement to replace the position left by Lewandowski.

Someone wrote here that he would return to Juventus if Allegri was fired. But in my opinion this is complete nonsense, as he is doing a great job at Tottenham.
As for Guardiola, it is obvious to me that his future depends only on the Champions League - if he does not win it this season, he will be fired (the contract will not be renewed with him). I wonder where he will go next - to PSG?

I think he will stay at Tottenham Hotspur given the work he has done in the Premier League and Champions League so well it would be bullshit for him to leave.
I even saw from a media that Tottenham would make a plan to extend the contract with him.

Is that true? It's only at stake in the Champions League but for the Premier League I don't doubt it, but indeed the Champions League is a very difficult job even though Mancity have a great squad of all but Pep Still trying to win this title there is a possibility they can finish in the final again but for the title is still very difficult.

I also do not think that Guardiola woukd be fired because of inability to win CL, everything is not about the Champions League. Guardiola has dominated the English Premier League for so many seasons, he is a legend and he is still doing well in the Champions League. No club in their right senses will sack such a good coach because of Champions League trophy.

This is my guess and it is based on the subtle wording that Guardiola gives in interviews when asked about the future.
As for dominance in the Premier League, for us ordinary fans it looks like a cool achievement, but the sheikhs are ambitious guys. They created literally the most expensive club in the world but have not been able to get the main trophy for so many years. Do you really think that their patience is endless?
It seems to me that they do not care about statuses, reputation, etc. the most important thing is the result, at the moment it is not there and if it is not after the purchase of Haaland, then Guardiola will be fired.

Bayern Munich made a big mistake by allowing Robert Lewandowski to leave the club. He was one of the most prolific goal scorers that they have ever had. There is no doubt that he is someone who can score at any time of the match, no matter what the circumstances are. However, he was sold to Barcelona and Sadio Mane was brought in to play the center-forward position which is not his natural position, which was not the right choice for him. Yes, we understand that they have the ability to get any player that they want. The thing is that they should have brought in an actual striker first and then sold Robert Lewandowski. But right now they are in jeopardy of losing the Bundesliga title.

I won't say it was a mistake letting Lewandowski go in the summer because at the time the situation was out of their hands, Lewandowski wanted a move and for the long time been with the club it is only normal and an act of respect and gratitude to grant his wish. Mane coming in was a good move and I expected he would fit in immediately and cover up for Lewandowski.

Lewandowski has now fulfilled his desire to leave Munich but unfortunately now it seems that he is starting to be disappointed at Barcelona performance which is getting worse every week, I think the Munich fans are now starting to smile after Mane is able to adapt well in Munich and at least Mane is able to replace the position he left by Lewandoski, an agreement to end the partnership is a common thing for a footballer as well as Lewandowski who has spent 8 years at the allianz arena and of course boredom and looking for new challenges can be the reason for Lewandowaki to leave.

Yeah it gonna end at one point but they also have to get a better one that Guardiola.  Guardiola might not be helping them win CL but he is atleast getting them fair chances in other competitions and winning most of them. I think the board feels like they have gotten a great manager and he is gonna win them CL at one point and I think so too.  They might be unlucky right now but with the way they are signing players and making their team strong, I think they are gonna get CL at some point if things goes like this.

West Ham are trying to keep Declan Rice at the club but it seems like he has no intention to stay from now on. It is reported that he has been offered £200k per week but he rejected it. This is no surprise honestly because we already knew how much he was eager to leave before. Manchester United were interested in him some time ago and they reached agreement with the player also. But West Ham made things difficult for him by demanding more money and the deal was off.

Recently Chelsea are the most seriously interested team as it seems. I'd like to add an extra info about this topic also. Declan Rice has grown from Chelsea Youth actually. Therefore this might be some advantage for Chelsea maybe. West Ham can't keep him so they'd like to get as much money as possible from Chelsea.

[Crypto_I.N]

I am very happy with the move of Robert Lewandowski to Barcelona and in my prediction Robert Lewandowski will not take much time to make Barcelona one of the sharpest in Europe with him, I am one of the supporters of FC Barcelona from the time of Ronaldinho and Lionel Messi, although not like both of them in terms of the game do not move much I like from the game Robert Lewandowski can take advantage of opportunities to score goals.

Not mistake made by Bayern let her go Lewandowski to Barcelona because left one year contract only and keep extended until his contract over, Bayern can't earn almost 50 million euro from Barcelona. I think Bayern smart here because got service from Lewandowski success bring many trophies from Champion League until several time Bayern dominance get Bundesliga trophy, but Lewandowski have final decision won't extended contract with Bayern left 1 years later. Actually become opportunity for Bayern trough have offering from Barcelona with most expensive values.

Totally Bayern earn much money because Lewandowski get free from Dortmund after not extended his contract.

Newcastle are preparing a contract offer worth £200,000 a week for Bruno Guimaraes.

As there has been some interest by Real Madrid recently Newcastle don't want to lose him. This would be a pretty solid contract for him to be honest and he is already playing in the starting eleven regularly as well. Real Madrid are one of the biggest teams in the world of course. It's like many players dream of playing for Real Madrid some day. However he should take another fact into account that he might not find this many chances in the starting eleven there. If he is still eager to sign for Real Madrid then it is difficult for Newcastle to convince him to stay.

His only 2 options at the moment are to take advantage of the sale of Lewandowski or force him to hold Lewandowski on the condition that he will leave as a free agent.
Bayern know when this is forced it won't go well because Lewandowski has often said he doesn't want to be at Bayern anymore and of course that kind of money is definitely an advantage in my opinion for Bayern.

Bayern's performance was not too bad so far, especially in the Champions League.

I didn't watch Gaucho Ronaldinho during those playing days at Barcelona though, but did with Lionel Messi and also Samuel Eto ( Cameroon International ). Some big reasons for Lewandoski's big move to Barcelona was to see if he could clinch the Ballon d'or more easily at the Spanish League. But things aren't going as they are suppose to see going.

I had a good thought of Lionel Messi returning to Barcelona and taking the number ten role and position until they get a perfect player that suits them. All they need do is to prepare and negotiate for a deal that won't put the club and player ( Lionel Messi ) in a worrying state, especially one that affects the club's financial status negatively.

First of all, Barcelona would have to be interested in selling De Jong in the first place. As far as I am concerned, Barcelona really did not want to sell this player. In addition, De Jong did not want to leave the club either.

Point of correction, Barcelona were ready to let go of De Jong to the extent of agreeing terms and what not with United but complications came in when his club had unsettled arrears which left the player with no option but to remain & decline the deal. And Btw their was also an issue of him not being consulted in this transfer which forced the deal to fail and turned out to be a full package of drama.
I want to believe the embarrassment he put the club in is among the reasons he isn't getting any game time too unless otherwise ...

I really think that if Barcelona was actually ready to sell him they could have lowered the price a little, but they did not. I understand that they need money but there is no point in keeping a player on the team who you are not going to use. I think Manchester United could have used De Jong better. But now I don't think Manchester United is going to be interested.

Yes, I agree that recently Barcelona has been doing a lot of drama. They got players who cost a lot of money and could not sell any players. And now they lost the most important match this season against Real Madrid. I think the club should be embarrassed by their performance not the players

Having just signed Casemiro in the team, it is unlikely that Manchester United will be interested in signing this player.

De Jong was priority one, Casemiro was just the rebound guy to save face and ETH wanted a replacement for that position.. 

Yes, I know De Jong what's the top priority for Manchester United. But they could not get him. So now Casimiro is on the team. Now I don't think Manchester United will be interested in De Jong. But who knows maybe they will still be interested and offer Barcelona a good amount of money as well.

This comment you made did it come before Barcelona and Real Madrid match or it came after the match ? I am confused because you are referring to the Lewandowski as a player who will play the same role like Ronaldinho, Samuel Eto'o and Messi played in Barcelona .

Lewandowski will not achieve close to what those guys did in Barcelona because he came in at the late age of his career.
He didn't perform the magic in Champions league and he didn't save Barcelona to in El Clasico, when will he start performing the magic?

[baeva]

especially for a club that has had problems from the start of the season with its squad.
I'm sure clubs like Liverpool, Juventus, and even Manchester United will be very active in buying players in the winter.

They should have taken advantage of that. But right now the world economy is threatened with the problem of recession. Do they have good finances later this year? I hope the club is able to survive and can afford players. Especially Juventus they were so bad earlier this season. They can't perform constantly with their best game. After Dybala's departure, Vlahovic has not been able to court a striker who has performed consistently.

Maybe they will try to buy someone in the winter transfer window, but then you have to plan and negotiate now with the agent of the player they want to try to buy. I therefore have my doubts that they will be able to buy anyone before the summer.... I have my doubts they will have money problems, and it might not be that big a deal.

[coinlocket$]

Sorry to say that but in the end I don't think Conte will still be at Juventus because we know Juventus' current condition is very difficult after 5 seasons in a row continuing to lose financially.
Removing Allegri from Juventus is the same as worsening his financial condition not to mention having to bring Conte with a large enough additional money so that there is nothing that can be done for Juventus other than holding Allegri there.

The financial condition will be even next year probably if the Covid situation will be stable.

Keep also in mind Juventus is a rich club but the problem is that they don't wanna spend too much in the club since the owner has a lot more in their hands.

After today's match between Manchester City VS Liverpool, I think Guardiola will seriously ponder his tactics. I agree that this was not his fault. João Cancelo made a big mistake and Mohammed Salah took advantage of that. But I really thought this match should have been a City win.

Now I think there might be a serious discussion about the job of Guardiola as Manchester City coach. I really do not think Manchester City is actually bringing the type of result that they should be bringing. I know a lot of people are tempted to say that Manchester City actually scored in this match. But that was ruled out by VAR. Yes, I know but that is a legit foul. Anyway, I think Manchester City needs to perform better.

[Sirait]

haven't heard which player Juventus really wants, it looks like they are still satisfied with the squad they have now. I still think that the best thing for Juve to do in the January transfer window is to look to other top coaches, there is no reason to keep Allegri, he will not be able to bring success to Juventus.

[Minecache]

In fact Allegri will still be maintained by the Juventus board until an undetermined time they still believe in Allegri even in a bad situation but this still affects their game do they want to take a long process with Allegri?
I'm not sure it will get better, in the domestic league not placing Juventus in a good standing in the Champions League will still be eliminated because only PSG and Benfica qualify, the points are very far away so this is all because Allegri is lacking in providing good strategy or tactics, but I don't know because Juventus will stay with him.

Well, at least Juventus won against Torino. Even though I cannot say this was a dominating performance from Juventus, I think at this point they will take any type of win, no matter how they come. This has brought Juventus to the seventh position on the table. But a win here and there is not going to be enough for Juventus. They will have to be much more consistent. But I highly doubt that they will actually be able to perform consistently. They still have a three point difference with Roma, the team that is right ahead of them.
I highly doubt that Juventus will be able to finish in the top four this season. And if that happens I also doubt that Allegri is going to have his job as the coach of Juventus.

Now it seems that with Juventus' condition which is very difficult from a financial point of view, like it or not, they will definitely keep Allegri.
It is difficult for them to compensate Allegri if he is sacked because they have to spend quite a lot of money.
And their possible risk is to keep and wait for some of their injured players to return because indeed this is one way regardless of how they are performing at the moment.

I am of the same opinion as you. There is a lack of money on their part. And that is a reason why I think they are not going to be able to sack Allegri. I don't know if it is worth waiting to get things better before letting the manager go or somehow managing some money to let the manager depart so that the situation will improve.

As of right now, Juventus does not have much of a choice in this regard. In my opinion, this is going to be a season that will end up being remembered as one of Juventus' most miserable seasons, unless they start performing well. And if this type of performance is being continued by Juventus I don't think Vlahovic is willing to stay at the club for much longer. And if that happens Juventus will have some serious problems on their hands.

[SatoPrincess]

First of all, Barcelona would have to be interested in selling De Jong in the first place. As far as I am concerned, Barcelona really did not want to sell this player. In addition, De Jong did not want to leave the club either. Having just signed Casemiro in the team, it is unlikely that Manchester United will be interested in signing this player.

In spite of that, it does not mean that other teams are not going to be interested in this player as well. If Barcelona were to actually transfer this player, then I believe that there will be a lot of teams that are very interested in his services.

My opinion is that he should actually think about moving out of Barcelona. The reason for this is that he is having difficulty adapting to Barcelona at the moment. In addition, there is no point being in a team which is not willing to give you the chance and instead they will give a better chance to a very old player. However, I do not believe that this is the main problem. It is pertinent to note that the main problem is the lack of confidence that the team has in De Jong.

Barcelona have been open to selling even in the summer just the issue with the wages that was a stumbling block and stalled the talks and player sale but if this depts have been fully paid I think they will be open to cashing in on the  player in the January window. Liverpool is a good destination if you ask me and I will also love to watch him play and compete against big teams in the league. Imagine how interesting it will be watching a Liverpool team with De Jong playing against against Manchester city team with it's experienced midfield.

[TopT3ns]

The rumour indeed Liverpool will buy at least one midfielder player this January so some of names appears including De Jong but the chances is very slim considering De Jong transfer fee is very high approximately 60 millions Euro and probably Liverpool will buy another players who had lowet price because Liverpool main target is Dortmund player Jude Bellingham and even Liverpool are willing to pay Bellingham transfer with fantastic price on summer 2023 and for this January Liverpool has some options to buy besides De Jong Liverpool also linked to Betis player Guido Rodriguez and to get him Liverpool only have to pay 30 millions Euro

Liverpool if they want to buy a new midfielder, they have to consider the position of the player and consider the costs they have to pay because if they only buy players without looking at those two factors, they will lose, the transfer market still looks very far at the beginning of the year so maybe Livepool can get even better players for a fairly cheap price.

I agree with you, if you buy a new midfielder, you automatically have to sell one midfielder or one player so that Liverpool's finances don't swell because in terms of the players I see the quality is the same, but what I saw earlier was the Liverpool match with Manchester City.
