⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[bullrun2024bro]

The German Bild is also reporting about the Benjamin Pavard - FC Bayern Drama now.

Benjamin Pavard's latest statements on his future did not go down well at Bayern. While the club appreciates Pavard's performances, they are in no rush to extend his contract following the signing of Mazraoui and de Ligt. A departure in the summer is conceivable [@BILD]

IMHO, a transfer next summer is becoming more and more likely after Benjamin Pavard's recent statements. It also seems a bit as if the player had already finished mentally with the club.

I really hope that the club and the player agree on a suitable transfer fee. We don't need another mudslinging session. If a player is unhappy, he should leave.

We know Mount is a Chelsea prodigy and loves playing for Chelsea but greed this days has cause many young footballers to move from clubs they love to those that can afford them.

These rich and spoiled kids nowadays have no sense of belonging. It's one of the reasons why I am disgusted by today's football and why I am happy I grew up in better times when it was all about representing and being available for the club you love. Players will always move between clubs and it's a normal thing. But in the past, the priority was winning trophies and playing for your national team. Now it's all about getting the best possible contract, no matter if it's in England, Qatar, China, or Spain. Just show me the money and I am yours. Full-scale prostitution.   

Ohh my day's, perplexed you brought the words outta my mouth. When you also talk about it they will never listen and not ready to learn.
At the end of the season look at the stat and what he offers back to Chelsea in return, completely less and that sucks for a youngin asking for big bucks but returns back for the club, all they do is post on Instagram and drive flashy car's.

Take a good look at Kylian Mbappe of France raising those shoulders, at the same age Lionel Messi was so humble scoring hat trick upon hat trick for Barcelona and winning trophies for Barcelona.

Bout Benjamin Pavard, He won't continue with Bayern Munich, it's difficult to keep a player who no longer has his heart settled at the club again, he'll leave and that's for sure.

Other rumors, Chelsea have now signed a pre-contract with Christopher Nkunku (Leipzig). Be prepared to face the risk that Aubameyang can no longer be said to be productive to continue to provide encouragement on the front lines. Moreover, Aubameyang was unable to play for 90 minutes. The Leipzig striker was paid around £52 million up front. However, rumored to be absent from the 2022 World Cup due to injury, it's a shame that France has lost a player who has been in top form this season.

I don't think Mbappe will want to move to Manchester United even if they offer him a huge contract. If we even consider Manchester United's financial strength there is no way possible for United to carry Mbappe's wage load, it is unlikely to happen. They have nothing special to offer, even Ronaldo at the club couldn't get any special treatment talk more of Mbappe.

Mbappe is treated like a king in Paris because of the influence PSG has given him over other players, but Manchester United wouldn't able to make him such an offer. Aside from the fact that Manchester United will not be given top ratings because they are not participating in the UEFA Champions League this season, their chances of qualifying for the Champions League the following season are also uncertain given the way the Premier League is shaping up, and Ten Hag has not yet fully assembled his team.

I agree with you that I don't think Mbappe will want to join Manchester United. And also I don't think that Manchester United would be seriously interested in bringing him to Old Trafford. The first thing that Mbappe will probably consider is Manchester United's form this season which has not been too strong, even tends to be erratic so that it will make him think again to be part of Mbappe. Mbappe's main goal is to earn achievements, and at the moment it is difficult to achieve that at Manchester United.

Some rumors about Ronaldo leaving Manchester are increasing day after day.
I think the most probable destination is Sporting.

And I also think he wanted them before the start of this season but Manchester didn't let him go.

Nobody would expect Ronaldo to still play for Manchester United. He spoke like a loose cannon during the interview which would affect the club's reputation and goodwill. People now see United as a club that considers nothing but profit-making. Moving to Sporting might be a good move because the club might be able to manage some of his excesses since it is in his home country. But the club through one of its top officials debunk the news and stated that they have no intention of signing Ronaldo. He should consider moving to the US or Asia to make more money.

It's fine if Ronaldo wants to criticize Manchester United, but the way he does it is unacceptable to Manchester United. In the interview, Ronaldo attacked Manchester United head on, he expressed his frustration at a number of names in control at Manchester United including Ten Hag.

Ronaldo conflict with Manchester United is no longer peaceful, Manchester United does not want Ronaldo to be at Old Trafford any longer. Manchester United have removed the giant Ronaldo poster that was installed at Old Trafford Stadium. The poster's removal sparked speculation that Ronaldo career at Manchester United was over.
The existence of Ronaldo in the Manchester United Squad also did not really help the club, he sat more on the bench than playing in the main squad, Ronaldo's departure can also save the club's expenses.

Percentage of wins for Manchester United with Ronaldo and without Ronaldo.

The Leipzig striker was paid around £52 million up front. However, rumored to be absent from the 2022 World Cup due to injury, it's a shame that France has lost a player who has been in top form this season.

I first heard rumors that FC Chelsea is pretty close to sign Nkunku from RB Leipzig already a few weeks ago. In the meantime it became also public that the technical director Christopher Vivell was released by Leipzig and that he is already in talks with FC Chelsea about a job there. So this could mean that Vivell already talked to Chelsea about the transfer of Nkunku to them and thathe had to leave Leipzig because of that. Now it is very likely that he will join FC Chelsea together with Nkunku. This smells pretty fishy if you ask me.
That being said, Nkunku is a great player and it is only a matter of time until he plays for one of the absolute top clubs.

Nkunku is a great player. in 15 games, he's played this season. He scored 12 goals in the Bundesliga and 3 in the Champions League.
if Chelsea is serious about signing him, it is an advantage for Chelsea. Unfortunately, Nkunku had to miss defending France at the World Cup due to a severe injury in a training session. loss for France and also for the young striker.

[gabbie2010]

I also believe that Ronaldo is ready to take that risk because now he has been dropped from the Manchester United squad. He had calculated this long ago and the risks he had foreseen. So he can focus more on the national team squad and let's see because there is no longer a burden on him at Manchester United at least he has the opportunity to show his performance in the World Cup with Portugal and his first match will be against Ghana.

If I'm not mistaken, then Ronaldo missed the last Manchester United matches due to illness, I don't know how he is doing now, he has already recovered or is still ill. Regardless of how he plays in the World Cup, he would still need to change teams in order to have a permanent place in the starting lineup. He is no longer young and has only a few seasons left in the pro shirt, unless he decides to go to Asia later, but he is already rich enough to do it becouse of money.

Ronaldo will miss today's friendly match between Portugal vs Nigeria due to illness known as gastroenteritis a stomach bug, however he will likely play their first match against Ghana on November 24, I don't how his recent outburst against his club manager and the club management will affect his performance at the World Cup, will he be in right frame of mind to play at the top level? I think his present predicament will affect his performance negatively at the competition knowing that he is not coming back to old trafford and the issue of getting a new club all these will occupy his mind and may remain unfocused.

[Velvet78]

It is definitely sad to see that Ronaldo will be remembered like this after his departure at the first opportunity. His mural has been torn from Old Trafford walls and this is another disrespect to him for certain. Ronaldo is normally a legend for the Red Devils. He had his best times with Manchester United and Real Madrid in his career. But from now on it looks like Manchester United will do their best to forget about him. But I never expect Alex Ferguson to think in the same way with the club.

Ronaldo's probability of being transferred in January is increasing day by day indeed.

[Bobrox]

I really hope FC Bayern and Chuopo come to an agreement over a new contract. Chuopo is performing extremely well this season and deserves a decent salary. However, the club must of course also take his age into consideration. Maybe a 2 year contract with a €5m salary? What do you guys think?

Have contribution with 11 goals from 16 matches I don't think €5m with two years contract most expensive salary received by Choupo-Moting, he has consistency performance after including in starting eleven actually make hattrick in Bundesliga. I think with consistency scoring goals, Bayern Munich fans little forget with Lewandowski, however Bayern have many goal machine not only coming from Choupo-Moting but also have Jamal Musiala, Sadio Mane and Serge Gnabry.

Have special credit performance with Choupo-Moting because usually he was coating player under Lewandowski and this season he has contributed with 11 goals from 16 matches.

Mbappe's main goal is to earn achievements, and at the moment it is difficult to achieve that at Manchester United.

The only thing I know for sure is that Mbappe is unhappy with PSG at present, and there are rumors suggesting that he is seeking pastures new this summer. Real Madrid and Liverpool  has been touted as possible destinations and at the same time Manchester United had initially planned to prioritize the signing of a new striker next summer, but I don’t think they’re targeting Mbappe. They’re many considerations; Mbappe committed himself to a lucrative new 3-years deal earlier this year, and now PSG are preparing to compete in the knockout rounds of the Champions League. So I don’t see him abandoning this competition to play in a Manchester United side that doesn’t know their destination.

Kante is most likely to leave Chelsea at the end of his contract seemingly. He is still suffering a hamstring injury and it has been three months since he got injured. He has been able to play in only 2 matches so far. When he comes back we don't even know how strong he will be able to play. Because it is quite a big injury period for a 31-year-old player. Maybe Chelsea don't want to take any risk by extending his contract and I respect their decision. I like Kante but he might be likely to underperform after his returnal.

By the way we don't even know when he will return. This might be a hindrance for Chelsea if they want to let him go in January already.

the iatlian 'republica' also reports that the two serie a clubs juventus turin and inter milan are said to be interested in the french defensive midfielder N'Golo Kante. the player will definitely leave chelsea...

Have special credit performance with Choupo-Moting because usually he was coating player under Lewandowski and this season he has contributed with 11 goals from 16 matches.

Now is the time for him to show a slick performance. Choupo-Moting was always in the shadows when Lewandowski was around and earlier in the season he was also in the shadows of Mane but now it's a little different.
Mane is more prioritized in his position so there is no reason Choupo-Moting is now not performing well.
He is a young player and there is still a lot of time to develop himself, especially now that Bayern also need a lone striker, so this is an opportunity that Choupo-Moting should not waste.

[lizarder]

This will actually be a good deal and I think both clubs will benefit from this, Ronaldo really needs to leave Manchester united with immediate effect as that club is destroying the legacy that Ronaldo has built while Manchester united needs a young striker to build on the strategy their current coach has been working on which is counter football. This is the reason he doesn't use Ronaldo much because he's no longer faster as he was and can dull the game when the coach wants a fast football.

Napoli on the other hand can benefit both from on field contributions and off field contributions like ticket and t-shirt sells etc. Ronaldo also has some goals in him that he can contribute to the team. Manchester united wasn't just a fit for Ronaldo because of so many reason but Napoli won't hold same fate as Manchester united.

Ronaldo lost the instinct to score goals, Erik Ten Hak's game scheme did not match Ronaldo's game philosophy, so this season Ronaldo scored very few goals. Italian league games don't rely too much on running speed, so Ronaldo is easy to adapt.

Napoli will benefit if they are serious about buying Ronaldo, not only selling tickets and shirts, Ronaldo's popularity and mentality are also quite influential for Napoli who play in the Champions League. But unfortunately Victor Osimhen will miss the opportunity to prove his worth in the biggest league, because Manchester United only plays in the Europa League. Even though the agreement between the two clubs has not yet found common ground, it seems that Ronaldo will still leave Manchester United.

There is no doubt about this all and this is main cause which is not allowing PSG to win Champions League they need to treat player like a player not like a king or prince because this brings problems in squad and other players feel not good with this treatment which is having for Mbappé in PSG just because of this all his behaviour is also not good, and many players don't like him, but now one thing is sure this is crucial year for them if they are not able to win this Champions League then surely we are going to have few changes in team and other things as well.

As many feeling there is chance for Mbappé to be leave this club PSG for Manchester United most chances this will never happen because right now they have no enough space and things are also not favourable for Mbappé in Manchester United currently just one club can take interest into him but most chances they will also not take any chance because of last year's humiliation Real Madrid.

Ronaldo will leave I expect the contract he has with manchester United to be terminated at the end of the world cup since the coach and others are no longer happy with him. They are obeying the manager if he says ronaldo continues he will. But the interview seems like Ronaldo did intentionally so he will leave the club without stress, if he wins the world cup am sure he will retire entirely from playing football

[redsun114]

But if he actually can show a really good performance with Portugal in the World Cup, I think probably some teams are going to be interested in him. But I wonder if it is going to happen.

I also believe that Ronaldo is ready to take that risk because now he has been dropped from the Manchester United squad. He had calculated this long ago and the risks he had foreseen. So he can focus more on the national team squad and let's see because there is no longer a burden on him at Manchester United at least he has the opportunity to show his performance in the World Cup with Portugal and his first match will be against Ghana.

Now without any doubt World Cup performance is key for Cristiano Ronaldo career because if he is able to give his best then surely we can expect positive development for his career in any UEFA club otherwise this is going to be unwanted end of his career which is surely going to be sad for this legendary player after end of this world cup we are going to have winter transfer window so if he wants to be good then surely he needs to perform something extra in this event.

After arrival of Ten Hag his career was in turmoil in Manchester United specially Ten Hag was not doing things which help him to restore his performance and able to stay here for long time so this all creates mess up which is going to burst with these things surely going to change for him now just time for having good expectations from him in world cup.

[shogun47]

Mbappe wouldn't go to Manchester United. It makes zero sense from whatever perspective you look at it. Financially there is no way that Manchester United can compete with the really rich clubs, they have nothing special to offer right now.

On top of that consider the interview that Ronaldo just gave! He was complaining about the outdated infrastructure all over the place in Manchester. Mbappe is probably used to high end luxury and service everywhere at PSG. Would he leave that club to then go to Manchester and play Europa League? Even if they qualify for the Champions League, Mbappe would only go to one of the top 3 or maybe top 4 teams.

There's no way possible although at the end things can still change cause I don't know why on earth Kylian Mbappe would want to be held down at PSG for the rest of his career how can he even do such. Headed to Manchester United he will have to communicate with the Coach on how the project would be like, so he make the right call.

But for the moment, he is full focused on the Fifa World Cup for France, can they do it again this year ? Defending Champions of FIFA World Cup. Do you think they're going far ? No, the squad depth and quality players are no more, they'll need to do more this year to win.
This should be the last World Cup appearance for Deschamps though.

I would almost go so far as to say that it is a 100% certain that he is NOT going to finish his career at PSG. This is one step of his (financial) masterplan in my opinion. At his age probably everyone of us would have signed the contract that PSG offered to him. There is just no way around it, not even when it comes to moral discussions. He can easily play for PSG another two years and is still in his prime, possessing half a billion dollars and can then still watch out for other clubs he would like to play for. I believe we will see him wearing a different jersey at some point in his career. The odds are with him that he keeps playing at that level constantly and it is up to him when it comes to contract negotiations.

Ronaldo  career is currently uncertain at Manchester and it seems we are just waiting for the time for him to leave Manchester, the bad relationship with Ten Hag of course became a trigger for Ronaldo to leave immediately and yesterday interview I think is the content of the heart that has been disclosed by Ronaldo, considering Ronaldo current age, maybe this year world cup will be the last world cup for him, but for him to retire soon, I don't think that will happen in the near future.

[Coyster]

By the way we don't even know when he will return. This might be a hindrance for Chelsea if they want to let him go in January already.

I for one do not also know when N'golo Kante will return to the field for Chelsea, prolly after the WC, but i don't see that as being too big a problem for Chelsea, footballers are bound to injure, it is part of the game, and in the period in which they are on the treatment table, the club basically have to wait for them to get well, and that is what i expect Chelsea to do in N'golo's situation and not to sell him off, i know it is not concrete news yet that Chelsea are willing to sell him in January, and tbh i don't expect it to be true.

Having said that, i know of Chelsea's policy of restricting players above 30 years of age to just a year's contract extension, and i think N'golo is going to finish the season with Chelsea, and should get the offer of a year extension, of which he could then leave if he is not comfortable with that. He has served Chelsea well, and there is neither any serious drop in his form, so i expect the club to be patient with the player, except of course if the decision to leave will be coming from his own camp, of which the club would willingly accept.
