⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[dezoel]

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.

Media main business is spreading rumours and then doing work for proving them right until end of this all so same happening in Messi case as we have about Ronaldo in last transfer window even most chances he will stay here in PSG until end of this season and right now he is not talking about anything as his main focus is World Cup with his contract is surely going to end in 2023, and we have very long time about this all few days back there was rumour about Mbappé he wants to leave PSG and suddenly now we have things about Messi which mean something fishy happening just by media not in reality.

Few days back we have comments from Xavi who is feeling currently Barcelona is not looking for Messi as we are working on players which are young and have quality and skills so right now he is 34 and at this season's end he could be 35 which mean older so hopefully nothing going to happen in this case.

First of all, I don't think Robert Lewandowski is willing to choose the English Premier League as his new challenge. The reason for this is that he is not very young.
And playing for Barcelona was his wish as well. But Barcelona is not doing well at all. Yes, they are in their proper place on the table. However, I wouldn't say that they have improved their play to get there. Barcelona is still in a lot of debt. And I really don't think they are doing anything to get themselves out of that debt. I don't know if the club will have to be sold or not. But I reckon it is going to be a big problem for them going forward if they do not do something about this quickly.

Agreed about this all as playing into Barcelona was his wish, and he never talks about his challenge into Premier League because he was also doing good in Bundesliga but due to bore results he announces about his wish and now having his future at Barcelona with most chances now he will stay here for few years and or even until end of his career because he is already 34 and until end of this season he could be 35 which mean now time is over for him to be part of any good club in near future.

Barcelona debit issue is surely currently their biggest concern and most chances they are going to face this for long time which is surely going to hurt them because right now they have no suitable solution for this even they are selling their shares in relative company as well which can create more problems instead of having better solution for this right now just big Arab investor can give them relief but for this they have to make few changes in their polices.

Robert Lewandowski is playing well; he has 13 goals in 12 matches. This is a very solid performance but I think a better performance was expected from him.

My opinion is that as long as he can score 1.2 or 1.3 goals per match overall this season, it will be good enough for him. I actually wouldn't mind if he scored one goal per match. But those will have to be impactful goals.

Barcelona is not in a healthy financial situation. And I am not sure what they are planning to do to overcome this situation. Purchasing expensive players does not seem to be doing the financial situation any good.

Frenkie de Jong is another player at the centre of rumours lately. He is still speculated to be leaving Barcelona in January and signing for an English Premier League club. Manchester United are the most speculated club for this transfer these days. We all know how much they were interested in signing him in the last transfer window. But they couldn't reach an agreement with Barcelona and they went for signing Casemiro. But it would still be useful for them to strengthen the midfield more.

On the other hand de Jong has refuted the rumours such as joining a different team in January. He is a regular in the starting eleven now. In this situation he must be happy with his playing time. He might prefer to wait for the end of the season to evaluate his options. His decision would be affected by Barcelona's success level this season also I assume.

The contribution of Gakpo is very important for PSV. So, I don't think they are going to let him go very easily. But obviously, the money is very good from Manchester United also. They do need that kind of money. This is actually a weird situation because if the player stays in his current team he is not going to improve much and if they sell this player he is going to become a far better player in a bigger club. So I think it will be best for everyone if they sell him.

Gakpo need support from a bigger team to be able to continue climbing a good career ladder, PSV may not be a small team in the Dutch league but they are a small team on the European continent

MU has good money and fame, if Gakpo helps United return to their peak of success then it's possible that teams as big as Madrid will look to Gakpo in the future. I think this is Gakpo's decision, moving to MU is a wise choice

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.

What a good gesture would it be if he goes back to Spanish side Barcelona yo help the team and club go out of finance problems by helping them to win La Liga again he has won it all accomplished everything what's up in his mind will be the world Cup. But heading back that way will cost Barcelona will Messi want a reduced salary no I think, so it is best he stays at PSG or considers the move to the Inter Miami

I heard that Lionel Messi has no interest in making the move to Barcelona. There might be an argument for him to go back, but honestly, I don't see any reason for him to do so.
As the world's best footballer, he was not treated with the kind of respect he deserved by Barcelona.

I have heard that Manchester City has been very interested in Lionel Messi for some time now. However, I do not believe that Lionel Messi is actually interested in signing for Manchester City at the moment. Additionally, I do not think Lionel Messi wishes to remain at PSG for a long time. It is not clear to me what is going to happen with Lionel Messi's future in terms of his football career. As of right now, it seems very uncertain at this point in time.

Why would Lionel Messi go back to Barcelona? He has won everything with the team and has reached legend status and PSG is currently a better team both financially and in performance. If PSG wins the champions league, Messi would remain in the club for another season but he might consider leaving the team if they fall short of the champion league trophy.

Manchester City does not need the services of Messi because they have one of the best midfielders in the world, except they have other off the pitch reason to sign him.

Imagine if that was some other managers that was in his shoe, all the Spanish media would had made this discussion their priority. I bet Luwadusaksi would be regretting moving to Barcelona by now. He had a chance to come to Chelsea just like other players that Barcelona spend thousands of dollars (that they don't have) on. Some bad investment choices from Xavier there and still don't get it why he's still managing Barcelona.

Regretting is the nature of human. I'm sure when Bayern Munich was performing poorly sadio Mane regretted because people were pointing hands that he was the cause of the weak performance.  Barcelona is performing not in their best  but in time coming they may change and turn to best. Barcelona will improve and Lewandowski will be happy to be in Barcelona.

How many more years can Lewandowski give Barcelona a top performance? This year is very good yes but he is 34 years old. Ages 30 and over when performance drops in football. Lewandowski is older than that. We don't know, maybe his age is effective in sending him to Bayern Munich. Bayern is always trying to find the best and I think Mane was one of the best players to get.

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.

No doubt about Gabriel Jesus quality and skills so this can happen because right now Real Madrid is also looking for suitable replacement which can happen in next summer transfer window even Arsenal will not oblige this because they are also improving things for their chances to be in Champions League for the next season Carlos Ancelotti is genius person, and he understands things around soccer world which make many players good value same happening in this case as well.

Even few were claiming about Mbappé is again in connection with Real Madrid but most chances now they will not go ahead with this all because Real Madrid fans already fed-up with this deal, and they will be also happy with the player like Gabriel Jesus who is potentially good for going into this majestic club.

another big rumours drom the top 5 leagues...
and arsenal london are in pole position to sign Youri Tielemans when the leicester midfielder’s contract expires at the end of the season. the gunners have been strongly linked with the belgian in the past and could strike a bargain deal next summer.

https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1689361/Arsenal-transfer-news-Mikel-Arteta-Edu-Premier-League

Additionally, I am hearing that Arsenal is very close to signing Youri Tielemans during the upcoming transfer window. This player is being sought by the team in order to provide them with a replacement in the midfield in order to help improve the team's performance. Considering his playstyle and his attitude, I am very confident that he will thrive in his new home at Arsenal.

As far as I am concerned, Arsenal are ahead of the rest of the teams in terms of signing him and I additionally don't think that any other team is so much interested in getting him to join their team as Arsenal is.

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.

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.

Right now many peoples are spreading rumours about Messi and his comeback into Barcelona but sadly mostly are not understanding reality which is happening around Barcelona as they are financially not good, and they can't afford him back in their team even they are trying to sell few players for this deal but still this is not going to help them with their current debit situation which is going the worst day by day.

And moreover they are also already eliminated from Champions League with now having just one point gape from Real Madrid in La Liga which is their main focus and Messi is surely not in their target list as well because they can't afford this salary package as well which can create more problems instead of having any positive change.

[Sirait]

Barcelona needs to sell lots of its player to bring back messi or it may face financial fair play again.

messi is almost similar to cristiano, old age makes their attractiveness decline. If barca wants to stay afloat then barca must follow the steps of madrid which prioritizes young players over old players. Rumors about Barca going to send Messi back will never happen. there are also rumors that I heard that inter miami are interested in messi and will buy him next year,, we'll see what will happen next year, if messi doesn't renew his contract at PSG then it's very likely to move very big.

[Minor Miner]

If I remember correctly at the start of the season Tottenham promised that they will bring in good players and they also promised Harry Kane that they are going to do anything needed to win the English Premier League title. That I really don't think that they are actually doing all they can. Some really good midfield players needed to be brought into the team. I think if these two players played for any other big team for this long they could have actually got a few trophies already.

They actually brought some good players. Its not like they haven't invested well enough. With CL qualification they needed players and so they got players in attack like Perisic (Conte however puts up as left wing back tho), Richarlison, Bissouma, Lenglet, Spence(young player with potential). Well Spence might lack the experience but rest of those players are really good ones in my opinion. They have good players in mid as well like Hojberg and Bentancaur who does as a great job in ball retention and moving around ball nicely in attack. Son and Kane are bit ineffective this season so far but if they start performing then I believe that Spurs will grab up pace in the table.

However, the problem that they have is that they have brought in good players, but they did not build a team around the best players that they have (Kane, Son). And that has resulted in the team making adjustments to those players.

It is now even more necessary for Son to help them out in the midfield as well. In my opinion, that is not the way you bring in good players for your team.

It is my opinion that if they had made a team based on these two players, they would have been able to achieve much more successful results. Furthermore, they would have been able to unlock the maximum potential of Harry Kane and Son. Spurs have played well this season, but a little more consistency is expected from them in the future.

Arsenal were already interested in Tielemans in the previous transfer window actually. There were many rumours about a deal for him but it didn't happen. But now Tielemans must be really willing to leave Leicester due to the position of his team in the league now. I assume he wouldn't like to play for a team under the danger of relegating anymore.

In addition to Arsenal, I have heard before that Manchester United were also interested in him. If both of them make an offer for him then I wonder which one would be his choice. I think that it would be better for him to sign for Arsenal while they are even one of the title contenders now. Manchester United are still not in a strong condition now.

There is no reason for Barcelona to exclude Messi when his contract runs out at PSG, Barcelona will try to bring in Messi to add strength to their squad. -snip-

I don't think Messi is the solution to strengthen Barcelona squad. Messi's position is a right-winger or a striker. Barcelona has 2 right-wingers now (Dembélé, Raphinha) and they have a strong striker (Lewandowski). I don't think Barcelona needs a new right-winger or a striker, it only wastes their money. Barcelona may sign Messi for free, but Messi's salary will be a problem. Messi has a big salary, it is not a wise decision to add a new player with a big salary when Barcelona is still in a financial problem. On the other hand, The performance of Lewandowski, Dembélé, and Raphinha look good. There is no need to replace them as the main players. The problem in Barcelona squad is on the midfield and defense lines. If Xavi really wants to strengthen Barcelona squad, he should sign new top/strong players on those lines.

[baeva]

Barcelona don't need only Messi to make the squad tough. If Messi comes to Barcelona and other players are not strong in performance the team will still not be productive.  Barcelona still have good players but they still not know how to be productive.  Football is about team work and not just for only one man.

Let's see what will be doing by laporta. As far as i know there are some clubs were also interesting to sign messi if he will be leaving from PSG with free transfer. These clubs are intermiami and manchester city. I don't know if the list of club that shown interest will be increasing with the goes of time. Messi has been under radar by barcelona but xavi will decide that whether barcelona will try to bring back him or not.
There are so many rumours but these can be proven only during the next transfer season. I would like to see messi goes to the city rather than back to the barcelona.

There is no reason for Barcelona to exclude Messi when his contract runs out at PSG, Barcelona will try to bring in Messi to add strength to their squad. Other clubs also don't want to miss out on wooing Messi to join them, Manchester City will be Barcelona toughest rival because Guardiola is there.
Xavi became an important figure who attracted Messi back to Barcelona, Xavi and Massi's relationship was very close, Laporta had also begun to take steps to welcome Messi arrival at Barcelona.

Except that according to media reports, Lionel himself wants to move to a club in David Beckham, so maybe the transfer to Barcelona will not happen. In principle, such a transfer has been rumoured for a very long time, but what is meant here is that he will move to his club when he finishes his career, and he, as we can see, has no intention of doing so

Rumors circulated that Xavi and the management from Barcelona wanted to buy Messi with full confidence and enthusiasm, there is no club like this because considering Messi is a player who already has an old age so he should lose to young players who still have high enthusiasm and stamina, But this all depends on Messi agreeing to join Barcelona or not, but considering his old age and there are still clubs interested in Messi, it must be agreed if Messi still wants to continue his career as a professional football player.

[Velvet78]

Rumours can circulate all the way but I don't expect Messi to leave PSG in the middle of the season.

I just don't see any reason for him to make such decision about his future now. Things are going on well for him at PSG. His performance is quite satisfying now and it shows how contented with playing for PSG I think. Barcelona aren't even in the Champions League anymore so Messi wouldn't like to join them in a situation like this. PSG have a goal ahead of them to win the Champions League title and they need Messi also to achieve this. But maybe at the end of the season things might change.

Back again the choice to Messi? This is so ridiculous
At least they need to be realistic even though Messi is an icon and a Barcelona legend but at his current age and the price is still very expensive and of course his salary is clear Barcelona must be aware of their financial condition.
At this time they even have to be demanded to reduce the salary of players what is expected by bringing Messi back because even if his performance can become more colorful again, their financial condition will be disastrous.

Yeah it's based on some rumors that already spread by some press. Laporta interested to sign him back to the club but this guy seems not even care with the financial condition of club. So many parties have been reminding barcelona not to over to buy so many players and abandon its responsibility to pay the debt to the creditors or its players and coach. Reducing salary is not even enough for messi. Some players have not paid for this season and they are working for free like pique without any money.
Will you make them work for free in the next season again? I guess management must use their sense yet free transfer player will be in demand by barcelona.

it doesn't true at all. Messi is always thinking money is his main target to play in the PSG. The new rumour said that messi might be join with MLS but this is not yet confirmed. Im not believing in mostly of news before the transfer season will begin.
Many media was making noise by spreading fake news.

It is the media journalists that sit one place and make up rumours to help them remain in business. It was Mbappe they first said that he was no longer comfortable in PsG but Mbappe didn't say so. They are now saying about Messi. After Messi rumour, expect to hear that of Neymar and the cycle continues that way. That is their job and their business.

It's just that in the next transfer window Barcelona has the right to spend 1 euro to 1 saved, but next summer the La Liga rule will apply to Barcelona, when a club that has exceeded its salary limit has the right to spend only 1 euro for 4 saved. In these conditions, it will be very difficult to sign Messi next summer. That's why there were rumors that Barcelona would make every effort to sign Messi in the winter. However, I also see no reason for Messi's return right now, when Paris Saint-Germain has a chance of winning the Champions League, that all this should be exchanged for a chance to win the Europa League. Therefore, if the situation remains at this level, then everything goes to the fact that Messi will remain at Paris Saint-Germain for the next season.
