⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Docnaster]

With the lack of depth in this Arsenal team, next chapter of the season will be a tough one for them because of the World Cup and injuries and fatigue will definitely set in. Considering the position they’re in, I believe Arteta have seen why he needs to reinforce in January. Imo he needs to bring in more of midfielders and deputies for both the wingers; Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka. The other departments are okay for now but these positions are my concerns and I hope he uses his head this time around because they have to maintain that first position till the end of the season.

Arsenal team depth us not as bad as you think. When I watched their Europa league group matches before Arteta in his quest to finish first started using his first team players, I saw good boys who can come into the attack of Arsenal either by shifting positions when there is possible injuries. Nketieh was very fantastic last season and I think he is still available. With just one forward signing, Arsenal is good at the front. The critical position I'm concerned about is Thoms Partey position

Since Cristiano Ronaldo still has a contract with Manchester United for several more seasons, his desire to leave in the upcoming transfer market will receive great consideration from the clubs interested in him, because taking over the contract from Manchester United will require a lot of funds. I think some European clubs who want Cristiano will reconsider their decision considering that Cristiano Ronaldo is currently 37 years old.

Actually, seeing from the current condition, Ronaldo can be said to be much cheaper in my opinion. Manchester United brought Ronaldo from Juventus for only 15 million and it is likely that now it will be even cheaper but the problem is in terms of salary that is more of a consideration because this player's salary is still quite expensive so it really takes some more thought to bring him over. but if you are now interested in Ronaldo and Manchester United, I think it will be much easier now than before.

Transfer fee isnt a problem for clubs because that would probobly be a really low amount. The only problem everyone knows is that the salary is too huge for him. Only teams from asia or america can afford him really easily and that would benefit their marketing for sure

Apart from the salary, I mean the club that wants him to be required to pay a fee to take over the contract, because according to the agreement Ronaldo still has to last a few more seasons but because of his desire to leave, is that included in the transfer fee?
And with the previous agreement isn't Manchester United free to open a price that might make any club think again
Because so far I haven't seen any signs that Manchester United will just let Ronaldo go

You must have forgotten how Partey gets injured with a slight touch in that knee, you should also check out when he's been absent how Arsenal coped in that game. They need him a replacement the left back role has one already as both the right back but don't know if Ben white is at the world Cup also. Saka at most he has done alot from that part of the wing. I will even prefer Gabriel Jesus not to be injured even if he does not score he offers support back to the other players to score so selfless from Jesus'

Arsenal will have a difficult season immediately after the world cup and the premier league reopened. Most of the gunners will represent their country and key players at that, looking at the facts about critical injuries and fatigues will deal with Arteta men. The gunners frontlines,  Saka, Martinelli, Jesus will have trouble been in their best form after the world cup. So the coach needs to make more signings in the transfer window in January and hopes he gets good players other than his present squad.

What you say is not necessarily the case, so far Arsenal have performed brilliantly while playing match after match. after the world cup, it doesn't necessarily stop Arteta's troops from appearing with positive trends from carrying out their matches until the end of the season.
maybe what happened was the opposite of what you said, after the world cup ended, the young squad of The Gunners had more self-confidence with an increasingly honed mentality.

but yes, to realize the mission of winning a trophy this season, Arsenal need new pieces that are on par with their main players.  So far, several rumors have reported that Arteta has targeted several names to be brought in in the upcoming January transfer window. and if Arteta targets two titles this season, he automatically has to bring in newcomers.

so far rumors have developed, Arteta has targeted several names such as Mykhaylo Mudryk, Facundo Torres, Youri Tielemans, Danilo, Evan Ndicka, Robert Renan.
I agree, if Arteta is targeting trophies this season. he had to bring in several players so he wouldn't run out of ammunition ahead of the new season starting again.

Man UTD and Ronaldo can't possibly be together again. And Ronaldo needs to find a team that can afford to pay him enormous salaries. I believe Ronaldo had a strategy in place before agreeing to the interview. Aside from the fact that Ronaldo is coveted by every team, football is a lucrative industry. Every club considers a player's market value. And as of right now, Ronaldo has the greatest market worth. As a result, you can be certain that whatever investment you make in him will return double as much. Ronaldo continues to dominate the field. Any club that wants him to play for them will still see him perform well.

Chelsea should be able to finish the extension of Mount's contract one way or another. They tried to offer a very long-term contract to him like seven years but he didn't lean towards it. I assume he doesn't want to hand over his future to Chelsea for that long. But he still likes to be here so he is open for a reasonable offer.

Chelsea should definitely keep him at all costs. He is one of the key players for the team. They are already not doing very well in scoring these days. If they lose Mount as well then things would get even worse.

If Chelsea can increase his salary, it is very likely that Mount will stay there, at the moment he is a core player but his salary is quite low compared to others https://www.spotrac.com/epl/chelsea-fc/payroll/
If Chelsea feel that Mount is a player who can benefit them, then the players must also feel benefited by the contract and the salary they are getting.
There will be big clubs who will pay attention to the development of the contract if there is no agreement then the clubs are ready for him.

and according 'the guardian' there are already two interested clubs with fc liverpool and juventus turin, following the growing uncertainty surrounding Mason Mount's future after fc chelsea talks with the england midfielder over a new contract were put on hold until after the world cup.

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.

It is a huge blow to the french team losing a player like Christopher Nkunku to injuries and I'm not quite sure if he will be able to feature in the world cup this year. Chelsea have been linked with the player for quite some time now with the aim of strengthening their attack this season. £52 million seems fair to me for the player who has been in top form before picking up injury. This will be a good deal for Chelsea.

@cygan if Chelsea end up losing him then the fan’s won’t forgive the new owner’s, because he’s a real talent and Chelsea can’t afford to let him go. Furthermore I personally believe that he’ll sign a new contract because publicly he’s been calm about his situation, but it’ll be really disastrous if he ends up leaving like Rudiger did and replacing him won’t be easy too.

A few more details on a possible new FC Bayern - Choupo-Moting contract. Bayern is offering a ~7m salary and a one year contract. However, Choupo wants to sign a longer contract.

Choupo-Moting could at least double his wages if he extends his contract at FC Bayern (currently on €3.5m/year + bonuses). The sticking point is the contract duration - Bayern would offer a 1yr deal while Choupo wants a longer contract [Bayern-Insider]

Source: https://twitter.com/iMiaSanMia/status/1593521905889382403

Hm, exactly what I expected. I was pretty sure that FC Bayern would offer Choupo a significantly improved contract after the offer from Manchester United. But now you have to weigh up whether a two-year contract with €7m per year is financially a good idea. Choupo would be 36 years old at the end of his contract. What do you guys think?

I've been a huge fan of Christopher Nkuku since last season but watching him play for Chelsea has never been something I envisaged, although, good luck to him on that. It breaks my heart seeing one of my favorites players crying as a result of loosing out from the French squad, the dream of every player is to represent one day for his/ her country but all of that fell short with the injury.
 
He'll make a good addition to Graham Potter's army, possibly next season, with Hudson Odoi loaned out and American Captain America in a bit poor form this season Christian Pulisic. Raheem Sterling should be good starters with him next season, one on the left and the other on the right.

It'll take Per Emerick Aubameyang five game's before he scores a single goal for Chelsea and another five game, such a players contract should be terminated as the player offers nothing but lower efforts back to the team. A striker in that matter  ?! He should kindly leave. Please!

[nara1892]

One of the people who understand Cristiano Ronaldo is Alex Ferguson, I think he will fully support Ronaldo, in fact I think he will be the first person for Ronaldo's departure in the transfer market later.
Yes, of course the existing problems will make the chances of his departure even greater. I don't see Manchester United keeping him, nor do I see him wanting to stay at Old Trafford much longer.

Yes, Ferguson might still show some support but he also knows what Ronaldo did was wrong. It was going for war against the club by going out public. Besides Ronaldo also knows that his chances of ever playing for United is close to none. About Ferguson I think he will be bit inclined towards the club because these things aren't meant to go out public. Yes maybe their infrastructure is not good or someone is plotting against him to make him out of favour from the regular squad but these things can be discussed behind the doors of a player has issue with that.

At the moment it seems that the response from Sir Alex is the most awaited one, but in this case it seems that he still doesn't really care about this because the last time the media said that he was busy shopping.
Actually this is something that is quite natural because if he gives a response, of course this will become a deep mess because indeed this can go awry if it is in favor of one party.

Ronaldo unhappy with his former team manchester United, where he thought he would make history and legend. But the new management is not favourable for the GOAT as he looks to exits the club during the January transfer window. Ronaldo worst mistake was choosing united over city, he was very close to joining city until Sir Alex Ferguson had a little chichat with him and made him change his mind and go for united. Ronaldo needs to look for new opportunity elsewhere.

It was the strong emotional bond between Cristiano Ronaldo, Alex Ferguson and Manchester United that changed his mind, even though he was only one step away from joining their city rivals. But that turned out to be the wrong decision for Cristiano Ronaldo. Many say if only Cristiano Ronaldo had joined Manchester City then his fate would not be what it is now. This has already happened and it's impossible to repeat it, so the thing that can be done is to live with it until the problem is completely resolved.

But indeed in this case we also cannot predict everything from the start and when he was at Manchester City of course the problems he experienced were not only from the club but from the supporters and maybe Sir Alex himself would turn against Ronaldo if he did decide to go to City.

As a result, you can be certain that whatever investment you make in him will return double as much. Ronaldo continues to dominate the field. Any club that wants him to play for them will still see him perform well.

Now it's all going to be messed up for Cristiano Ronaldo because after world cup his position in Manchester United is surely not good, and no other club is having better financial position to take him with his salary demand with this all we can expect he hast two options first cut his salary demand and settle for any club which is going to be play Champions League in next season like Napoli, Roma and Atlético Madrid all can go ahead just in case of cut in salary but not with current demand.

Second option is just left his love for UEFA and go to MLS or China where he can take good salary, but his soccer could be at his lowest level, or even he can end in a bad way because his career is going to end, and he has no positive options for himself here in Europe.

Next year besides targetting new players Chelsea will very be busy to extended players contract this because some of players contract will be expired on 2023 and about Mount recently Chelsea has offering long duration contract until 2029 to Mount but apparently he has refuse it but there was no spesific demand why Mount didn't want to sign new proporsal but Chelsea hasn't give up yet that the rumour is after world cup ended they will offering new proporsal to Mount and hoping he will accept it and probably higher salary than now and this should be done immediately because Liverpool are watching for him and if the negotiation went to deadlock it's not impossible to see Mount left this January

[darewaller]

There is no special player in the Chelsea team that deserves to be begged to extend his contract with the club,  every other person in that club is replaceable from the goalkeeper's to the Strikers.
So there is no big deal anyone that doesn't want to renew should be let go and better players will come to replace them. I don't know why Mount should be begged to sign a 7 years contract , why he is demanding for salary increase and more so he is indirectly opting to leave because since the ownership of Chelsea changed some of the players has lost confidence in the club while some does not believe the ability of Graham Potter to lead the club

I agree with this because Chelsea is not really doing specially well, not because the players are bad. Even if we are talking about good players, the end result is not too well right now which means it is not working well for them and anyone could be expendable at this moment until they are better.

The players on a greatly successful team would have the upper hand to request for more salary, because they brought a cup to the team or something, but when they are nowhere near where they should be, then it doesn't matter how good or bad they are, the players won't get the salary  demands they are asking for, since the team doesn't want to keep them.

[Tony116]

As for Ronaldo's possible next club there are some alternatives in Europe now according to speculations. These clubs are said to be like Chelsea and Sporting these days.

Sporting still continue to deny the speculations linking Ronaldo with them. Maybe they would like to sign him in normal conditions but it must be related to their financial status now. Ronaldo's current salary is quite big. He is said to be ready for some pay cut but I don't think the rate would be too much. Messi was okay for 50% to be able to come back to Barcelona for example. But this isn't the same for Ronaldo as Sporting aren't one of the iconic clubs for him.

Chelsea are in need of a striker actually because of having scoring issues in their domestic league. They shouldn't have much problem with money now so they would be able to afford Ronaldo's demands. I just wonder if they still have an interest in him now. Maybe their first choice might not be him depending on if they find a more logical option.

I think Cristiano Ronaldo should personally reach out to Chelsea. Because that team looks like they are in serious need of a striker, but they are obviously going to look to invest in a player who will be able to give them service for a longer period of time and Cristiano Ronaldo is not someone like that. After Cristiano Ronaldo exposed Manchester United like this, it is obviously certain that he is not going to stay at all Manchester United. But one thing is certain which is if he does want to go to Chelsea, he will have to take a massive pay cut. Because I don’t think Chelsea is that much interested in Cristiano Ronaldo as well.

I could be wrong, but it seems to me that Bayern will not agree to the terms of the player (even with Lewandowski they did not agree to the terms of the player) and this will be fair. The doubling of the salary is sufficient compensation for the fact that the player remains in Bavaria. If he wants to get a contract for a longer period, he must reduce the salary requirements and significantly, because of his age, the risks of the club are great.

You're absolutely right, but Chuopo is playing one of his strongest seasons ever. His goal-minute-rate is higher than Lewandowski's last season. There were plenty of rumors that he got a very good offer from Manchester United, but still wants to stay at Bayern.

I really hope they will do something like this: 2 year-contract & €6m per year. That would be +75% salary and 2 year-contract.


And some more news on a FC Bayern player: Lucas Hernández and the club will start negotiating over a new contract after the World Cup and it looks like everyone involved wants to extent the contract.

Bayern remain in good talks with Lucas Hernández's agent. Both parties will sit down together again after the World Cup. Bayern want to extend Lucas' contract this season. Everyone involved wants to continue together in the future.

Source: https://twitter.com/iMiaSanMia/status/1593577586881445889

That's fantastic news, of course. Hernández is playing an extremely strong season and is a key player for FC Bayern. IMHO, the contract absolutely has to be extended - even if things get expensive for the club.

Christiano Ronaldo attitude concerning can make other clubs to have fear of bringing him in. No club is having interest in bringing Ronaldo  in because of age factor , Ronaldo still a good player but can't be compared how he was in performance in the last 3 years. The next transfer season might be so difficult Ronaldo again if no club shows no interest on him.

Even they are at the top of Premier League and having impressive end in Europa Cup but still peoples are feeling they are not good enough to have performed good at coming weeks which is surely not good because mostly they are miss calculating them and feeling this is not as they were supposed to be before start of this season they have few very impressive players

Now we have to wait for the end of this world cup because any injury surely can hurt them and this could be vital for the end of this season as well because if they have not negative news then surely they can go like they were in start of this season which could be amazing with this all we have few rumours they are going to have few buying's in coming transfer window which could be also good for their strength.

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.

Good to see that it seems like that chelsea has been given up to sign osimhen as it must compete with real madrid. Nkuku must move from leipzig caused by he may have a good career once he will be joining with chelsea. It can be said that if chelsea have very big chance to get him. Leipzig will get lots of money from there. France has substitution for him and i think that loosing him in the world cup doesn't mean a lot. Chelsea think that competing with real madrid to get osimhen from napoli will be so hard and it must also pay lots of money.
Signing him may become a good thing for the next year. Aubameyang didn't perform so well in chelsea and it seems like that graham was looking for his alternative.

Salary a major factor for the consideration of the players at the club, as long as they get welfare and an increase in salary, there are no thoughts of moving to another club and of course the contribution will increase and those who get an additional salary will feel they are very valued and become the main player who is eagerly awaited to score goals and bring victory.
