⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[S A KHAIR]

There are some new speculations about Manchester United's possible replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo. It is claimed that they might go for Joao Felix in the same month if Ronaldo leaves the team in January.

Felix hasn't scored a goal in this season yet. He made three assists in five games as a centre-forward so far. But he is still a very young player as he is 22 now. He has a bright future ahead of him but I don't know if he can reach his potential at Atletico Madrid. We should see him playing in the best European league also which is the Premier League. This is an opportunity for him also as a result. However I wonder if this is Erik ten Hag's thinking. Otherwise he can also have problems with him just as Ronaldo is having now.

I'm not sure how I feel about this rumor of Felix joining United. What United need is a lethal striker. Yes, Felix is an interesting prospect as a player, as he is young and has potential, but his recent form with Atletico says otherwise. United should opt for good goalscorers like Lautaro Martinez or players of his caliber who are consistent goal-scorers.

Moreover, Felix mostly plays as the second striker and I don't think that is what united need right now.

Now there are again new rumours linking Barcelona with Lionel Messi.

It says that Barcelona president Laporta wants to see him in the team even in January. I don't see this news as realistic at all truthfully. Because there is no reason for Messi to leave in the middle of the season above all else. He must be happy at PSG for now as we can understand this from his high effort in this season until now. They have a target like winning the Champions League as well. I don't think that it would be sensible for Messi to leave PSG to join a team that aren't competing in the Champions League. I think the same even if a player has great memories with the team being linked. These rumours would drop some time later as a result.

I think that the media now quite well how to frame and phrase certain sentences that people give in an interview for example. Maybe Laporta said that he would love to have Messi even in January, but that doesn't mean he realistically expects Messi to transfer from PSG to Barcelona. Also there is one major counter argument: Messi would never leave PSG now that they qualified for the final round in the Champions League in order to join Barcelona who were just kicked out. Messi's cock is ticking as well and if he wants to add another CL title to his total collection, then now is his best chance to go for it with PSG. There is no way he would consider leaving the club now. He'll do everything he can this season to make it a successful one. That counts for his club as well as for the national team. A transfer would make zero sense.

English players always like to play in England clubs than going outside England. That is why it is obvious that Kane will likely choose to play for Manchester United instead of Bayern Munich, only if Manchester United offers him a contract. But it is as if Conte will convince him to stay longer in Tottenham since they are playing well and are good contenders of both English Premier  League title and Champions League

Basically, this seems to be the case regarding Kane, there has already been information that he does not want to move to Germany, but everything will depend on the specific financial proposal - if it is significant from Bavaria, then why not. In the end, he already has a solid age and practically does not have any titles. Bayern can guarantee the German championship every year  + have a good chance of winning the Champions League every year.

I am also partially agreed with this statement that mostly English players don't like to leave their country but with his desire for winning trophies and having good financial package surely can change his mind with few seasons back before arrival of Haaland in Manchester City they were looking for him, but Tottenham Hotspur rejected their 100 Million USD offer as they were adding around 20 to 30 Million USD more which were not under their system to they bring two other quality players but right now situation in Tottenham is looking not good because they are not good enough for having any chance into title race so most chances he will leave for Germany and have his best time with few trophies are also possible.

About rumours related to Messi, I can say that he is going to make his decision upon his future at PSG after the World Cup ends. For now he is just avoiding to answer the questions about it.

I also don't expect him to leave in January even if he doesn't extend his contract with PSG. Maybe his future will be dependent on how successful they will be in this season. If they win the Champions League title then it might be very effective in his decision. He would prefer to stay then maybe. But if one of the amazing trio leaves the team anyway then Messi might prefer to leave as well. Especially if that player becomes Neymar I mean. Messi has a much better relationship with Neymar than Mbappe in the end.

[alpamar99]

Harry Kane is already 29, that age is no longer young for a football player. He must choose the best path to continue his career, he is unlikely to be able to lift the trophy if he continues to stay at Tottenham. Harry Kane is a talented sticker, so many clubs want to use his services. Bayern Munich had publicly expressed their interest in signing Kane in the transfer market last summer as a replacement for Roberto Lewandowski, but Tottenham are unwilling to part with Kane and are trying to apply for a new contract for him.

Speculation surrounding his next career move began to heat up again after Harry Kane postponed contract talks with Tottenham until after the World Cup. Kane must choose between loyalty to Tottenham who have made his name or moving to a club that can guarantee him to lift the trophy, Kane must choose the one that is best for him.

The decision is only in Kane's hands now, when indeed he is satisfied with the current condition then Tottenham is still quite good but if not and want to get a trophy for his achievements then Bayern is the right place at least even though it is difficult for the Champions League but for the Bundesliga this could be wrong one guarantee.
His contract is almost over and when he doesn't renew now things will be different for Tottenham who are still adamant about not selling this player.

Too early, he will tell his decision way later he still has the whole season with the champions league after the world cup.
The only way to go back to Barca is to announce a big cut in his salary or have a big part of his salary paid by the sponsor.

Also are you so sure is a good thing to have back a 35 years old player with his salary?

Yep. It seems only a rumor and has no chance to happen.
Messi focuses on his contribution to PSG and he never stated that he is unhappy there. Moreover, his performance looks very well this season and he has already adapted successfully in PSG. What is the reason to leave PSG now? As you said above, no reason to leave now. 

On the other hand, if he comes back to Barcelona, there is no guarantee of success as previously. Instead, it may be a bad dream, Ronaldo experiences it now. I am sure, Messi doesn't want to experience the same thing as Ronaldo does.

I think Messi is still very much in love with Barcelona for sure and it is possible that he still has a dream of returning to Barcelona because after all, Messi is a symbol of Barcelona's success, he started his career there and because of Barcelona, he can become one of the best players in the world. But if we look at the experience he has felt, that he had to walk away because Barcelona can't afford to pay him anymore due to the financial crisis. Then I think this will at least make Messi think further to go back there.

It seems like that media is never stop to create so many rumour like this. A day ago medie was also publishing some news about messi will not leave PSG until his contract will be end on june 2023. I think that this news was coming from barcelona itself especially from laporta, this guy is always create so many rumours but he doesn't even realize how bad the situation in the barcelona. He must paid salary for his player first rather than thinking to buy messi. Barcelona has nothing left to be sold again.
It has been loosing so many incomes from the various ways. it seems like the internal from this team is doing corrupt. The debt never got paid, the income become even smaller. Think about that.

Messi wouldn't return to Barcelona, in the past he was said he will stay in Barcelona until he retired, but what's the reality we're seeing now? He's leave Barcelona because he want to get better salary. IMO Messi doesn't really interested to get trophies and other achievement again, he already know his limit as an old player, he can't beat a young player anymore, but at least his skill still above average than most of football players.

I have heard that Manchester United is very close to signing Cody Gakpo, and that the move is very imminent. It has been reported that PSV have been offered £25 million for this player. Furthermore, I believe that none of the other competitions of Manchester United will actually be able to offer that much money for this player. In addition to this, PSV also values this player highly. Normally I think this is a good amount for him and PSV can decide whether they wish to keep him as a player or let him go.

Gakpo is one of PSV's mainstay players, in the last transfer market, MU had great interest in Gakpo but PSV did not agree to it and finally MU bought Anthony from ajax

If Gakpo is successfully bought by MU in the transfer market next year, then MU has a large stock of attackers and CR7 will get less playing time. Gakpo's contribution to PSV is very big, this is the reason why MU is interested in him

the future can't be predicted, that's why even if messi has a small chance move back to the barcelona doesn't mean if it would be impossible to happen. We must have learned from what you have mentioned above but we can use our logic to think whether it's possible or not for barcelona to bring back messi to the campnou with the current financial condition. barcelona is still owe lots of salary from its players.
Pique has not getting paid for this season, de jong is also waiting for his salary to be paid barcelona and many more. Some players have been deciding move from barcelona in the upcoming transfer season.
Barcelona needs to sell lots of its player to bring back messi or it may face financial fair play again.

I don't think Barcelona needs to do all that to bring Messi home. his arrival also does not necessarily make the squad better if they have to lose other important players.
It's not good I think to sell some players at the moment who are still helping Barca to fight. just to repatriate those one-stars who left.
I wouldn't say Messi has lost his form at the moment. but Barca should target young players who have more potential as their assets as well. rather than buying players who are quite old.

Thank you Awaklara for saying this. This is what I have been saying but Barcelona supporters refused to understand me. Barcelona fans are seeing it that if Messi returns everything will normalise. They don't mind sell De Jong and other young stars to bring back Messi. In as much as Messi is still playing well, his performance will reduce after the World Cup. All his efforts is geared at World Cup, if he crashes out whi h I know he will do, he might be demoralised.

In my opinion, given the team's financial situation, Messi joining Barcelona is unlikely. Xavi needs to pay more attention to the players at his disposal and bring in more talent in the January transfer. Messi has accomplished a lot in football, and he is no longer motivated to work toward a common goal or form a team.

Gabriel Jesus remains a player that boss Carlo Ancelotti admires. according to 'the sun', GJ is on a five-man shortlist compiled by the italian coach.
they claim that C. Ancelotti sees him as a perfect understudy, and potential successor, to ballon d'or winner Karim Benzema.

[cryptofrka]

David Ornstein from The Athletic (a really respected source) is linking Messi with Inter Miami - saying that there's even a chance of a transfer happening this winter.

That is something I really don't see due to the fact that Messi will want another shot at the CL (as well as getting the league title), but Inter Miami is probably just preparing for the summer - and I do think that USA will be Messi's next step.

I also don't expect him to leave in January even if he doesn't extend his contract with PSG. Maybe his future will be dependent on how successful they will be in this season. If they win the Champions League title then it might be very effective in his decision. He would prefer to stay then maybe. But if one of the amazing trio leaves the team anyway then Messi might prefer to leave as well. Especially if that player becomes Neymar I mean. Messi has a much better relationship with Neymar than Mbappe in the end.

So far, rumors of Messi's future have always been a hot issue after several occasions ago he stated he was reluctant to extend his contract with PSG. but for sure, he still has a contract with SPG until 30 June 2023. Nevertheless, I agree with your opinion.

currently Messi is more focused on the world cup and is targeting to win the champions league trophy as the club's dream.  however, if any of SPG's other stars leave at the end of this season, it is likely to push Messi's decision to leave SPG. especially his closest teammate, Neymar.
so so far, no official statement from him. and, let's wait for the decision after the world cup ends.

Yes, it's no wonder Real Madrid are interested in Gabriel Jesus. The game he is showing at Arsenal at the moment has made a very good impression on him. But whether Arsenal will let him go, because he has had a lot of positive impact on the team's game. And Gariel Jesus has just joined Arsenal this season which they brought from Manchester City. I honestly doubt Arsenal will let him go.

I do agree about regeneration but financial problem is also preventing barcelont to do that. I saw that how bad the financial condition from barcelona yet some players already declared if they would be leaving from barcelona in the upcoming transfer season.
All about messi is still speculation but as laporta explained in the past if he would want to bring him back again to the barcelona. The financial problem is a thing that prevents barcelona in the upcoming season.
That's why xavi even stated that if they will be only looking for free transfer players caused by barcelona have not enough financial to buy more new players.
I don't even like the fact that barcelona is still abandoning its player's salary.
