⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Pandu Geddon]

I don't think Manchester United would be able to sign Osimhen or Vlahovic. I think the same for not only this January but also for next summer. Because before anything else they would surely have opponents in a probable race to sign these players. For example Real Madrid would be in line to sign Osimhen and then the Red Devils would be in a really disadvantageous condition.

I don't think Vlahovic would leave Juventus so soon as well. As long as Juventus have a good run in the rest of the season I don't see any reason for Vlahovic to even think about leaving.

I don't really think Manchester United needs players like maphis Depay and Gakpo because they are wingers and Manchester United has those style of wingers already in their squad, players like rashford,martial and Sancho these players are similar to maphis Depay and if United sign another winger they might stop the progress of their young Argentine (Ganacho) so they should focus on their hunt for strikers because that's the position they are lacking seriously on.

yes, what United need right now is a pure striker, which they can indeed make as a target up front to become a goal machine for United.
United had enough savings when they terminated Ronaldo's contract, I think they can use that to get enough good players to complete the current squad.
if they don't make good purchases this season, I'm sure they won't end this season well.

You have just said it all. Manchester United don’t need Memphis Deepay, and they don't even need Gakpo, no matter how successful he will be in the world cup. You don't buy what you already have. In Manchester United they already have Martial, Rashford, Sancho, Antony, Elanga and Garnacho. What other need do they have for a winger. They need a striker, not anyhow striker but a young striker like Victor Osimhen.

After this outstanding performance by Hakim ziyech at the world cup today, it just got me wondering if the player will still insist on his move away from Chelsea or will Graham Potter give him more game time. Hakim Ziyech is a great player and would had been very deadly for Chelsea at the left wing but I still don't understand why Coaches aren't giving the player some playing time. You can't just ignore a player as Ziyech just because of few bad games. You have to give the player time to have some relationship with the squad to fully developed into the team.

I was thinking with the introduction of Graham Potter at Chelsea that things will be different with Hakim ziyech but it seems he's ignoring the player just as Thomas Tuchel was ignoring him during his time at Chelsea. I don't know the vibes Ziyech gives at training that's making coaches not start him at the wings when he's a brilliant winger but I hope things get resolved so that won't result to him leaving Chelsea. He's a brilliant player that we can't afford to lose.

I think Hakim Ziyech will still be considering a move away for better opportunities and playing time because it looks like he has fallen out of favour with the new manager talking about Erik Ten Hag. At this point I doubt if he will be granted an extension for further years. I still wonder why a player like Ziyech is not getting playing times at Chelsea. He needs a chance to show how much he can help the team.

Age matters for Ziyech and is he  wasn't brought in by the coach
Hoe do you expect him to have enough playing time with the club
Pulisic the American is another good player not having enough game time

The fact that Man UTD is looking for a striker doesn't prevent them from signing Gakpo if he wants to play for them. Having a strong striker and an attacking winger like Gakpo Cody is not a terrible thing. The person is superior to Sancho and Rashford.

To further bolster the team, Ten Tag should make a superior striker acquisition during the January transfer window.

In case you missed it, Ronaldo got an offer for January, 3 years in Saudi Arabia for 220m€.

I don't think he will accept, he wants to stay in Europe but if no top clubs will call for him he may end there.

Ronaldo won't accept it despite the money is huge,  Ronaldo has seen money, at this point of his career I don't think if he is considering money first as his first priority.  Ronaldo is looking for a club that will be a benefit to his career.

mls club inter miami is confident of signing Lionel Messi, according to a report in the british 'times'. according to the report, those responsible have high hopes that the argentine will sign a contract with the mlsS team from florida as early as after the world cup in qatar. in addition to LM, the club also wants to lure his former barca teammates Cesc Fabregas and Luis Suarez to miami...

It is a nice offer for Messi. If Inter Miami offers him a good salary and a long contract duration, I think Messi wants to consider moving there. Messi must be aware that he is getting old and he no longer has too much time to play at his good level. He is probably interested to play in MLS before he decides to retire. However, I doubt if Messi will move to Inter Miami before the season is over.

Moving to MLS will be the last solution for players who are old enough to continue their career before retiring. An offer from Inter Miami can be considered by Messi after his contract with PSG ends, the only way Inter Miami can take to bring in Messi is by offering a high salary and providing him with luxurious facilities.
Messi prestige is still attracting the interest of big European clubs, Barcelona is also trying to recruit Messi to rebuild his squad. Competition for Messi services is not easy for Inter Miami, without a tempting offer it will be difficult to bring Messi to MLS.

If he show a good result during training or match, of course Graham Potter will let him to play. Ziyech has been played for 3 times when Tuchel still become Chelsea's manager, it's a match between Southampton, Leeds and Dinamo Zagreb, but as you can see Ziyech doesn't score any goal, moreover his shoots is really bad. I'd say Ziyech is only lucky during world cup match, we don't know how stable his performance.

Since Ziyech was arrived in Chelsea this team has changed manager twice Tuchel and Potter but none of them can giving him trust to playing for regular and Ziyech was more likely to starting the match on the bench even Ziyech is not included for Potter long term plan that's why Ziyech only playing 9 times during this season and only once time as starting lineup so this is not good for his career and the option looking for new clubs has been appears since last season but i don't know why Chelsea hold him and this winter reported Chelsea has agree to release him and AC Milan will attempts to gets him however he was playing well at world cup with Marocco so this might be considering why AC Milan want him again

You’re right. Money is not the motivating factor for Ronaldo at this point as I’m sure he would have a whole lot of money already. He’s now actively looking for a club that would utilize his potential and I think Ronaldo still has a lot of potential left in him. He has worked so hard through his football career.

He obviously still wants to play competitive football and win leagues and titles and is looking for a club that would help him achieve that. No doubt Ronaldo is a great player and can still be relied upon to score goals, he should remember that time isn’t on his side anymore and there are lots of young agile players coming up eager to fill his shoes. I hope with his exit from Manchester United, he gets what he’s looking for.

Well i can't say i haven't seen this news elsewhere, it is very possible that Fabregas and Suarez are heading there, but i still find it pretty difficult to believe that Messi could prolly be heading to the MLS, if he was having a bad second season with PSG then it would have been believable, but he is having a magnificent season with PSG, a completely different one from what he had in his first season in Paris, i was expecting him to thus stay in PSG (Europe) for another couple of years. Messi still has quite a lot in his tank, and tbh i'd be really surprised if he moved to MLS in the next summer transfer window.

I believe Ziyech is trying to prove his worth with the ongoing World Cup in Qatar especially with his assist for the second goal scored by Aboukhlal for Morocco, it's a pity he had not been given enough playing time in star-studded Chelsea by the duo of Tuchel and Graham Potter and with January transfer window coming up it's very obvious he will sign for another club in Europe were a regular playing time is guaranteed, there was a speculation that AC Milan wanted to sign before the beginning of this summer, Ziyech is good player and had been having an positive impact for Morocco.

Ziyech will be moving on januarty. AC milan might become the new club for him rather than MU. His contribution in chelsea was not a lot compared with another player. AC milan may finish his transfer from chelsea on january and let's see what will be the result.
He better moves from chelsea rather than always sitting in the bench. Chelsea can't give him more chance and he must think about ac milan may become a good club for his career.

That kind of money should be a consideration for Ronaldo because his career in Europe has not been as good as he hoped so it is a very good offer and must be received well for his old age who are still making offers at such high prices. So far, not everyone gets that expensive price.

I believe CR7 is willing to get as much records as possible before resigning. He wants to be remembered as the most scorer in this league and the one that played much in that and so on.
Once he fails to get a team that could guarantee this for him, he will pass to the next important thing, which is money, so yeah we cannot rule out anything for now.

Cristiano doesn't really chase money, so I'm sure he will reject the Saudi Arabian club because his career will surely fade there. I still firmly believe that Cristiano will return to the Italian league, and like the rumors, Napoli is one of the teams that have great interest in him. but we'll see what will happen in the transfer market next year.

Premier League is the big fish here while Serie A is the small fish (like all the others leagues).

If they come with 120-150m € and test they can, any player from Seria A, Liga, or Bundesliga will leave for England.

Any.

The Big fish eats the small fish.

If we take top clubs like Real Madrid, Bayern, PSG, then any club from England except City will be a small fish. If we are talking about United, which cannot guarantee the player participation in the Champions League, then this fish becomes very small.
By the way, the situation in the Premier League is quite funny - there are too many contenders for the top 4 and no club other than City can be sure that they will play in the Champions League.

Ziyech was offered by AC Milan at the start of the season on loan and buy option. But this offer failed. And this season, Ziyech at Chelsea can't get a chance from his coach until the world cup. He only played once this season so far, but in the world cup he emerged as a hero for Morocco. Although the Moroccan coach suggested Milan to sign Ziyech, it is not impossible after this world cup Chelsea began to believe in his quality and thwarted Milan to sign him once again.

Just see the latest news about him and it seems like there was a report about ac milan may try to give chelsea an offer for him again https://football-italia.net/milan-preparing-offer-for-chelsea-winger-ziyech/

I don't know whether that news can be trusted or not but im sure that makes sense to see that milan amazed with ziyech's performance during world cup. He deserves more time to play. He has potential for sure

Indeed, Hakim Ziyech must immediately find a club that can accept him by placing him in the main squad. Being constantly on the bench will only make his skills dull. Apart from AC Milan, maybe at this time there are still many other rumors that Hakim Ziyech has not disclosed yet. Chelsea will be dogged by uncertainty regarding Hakim Ziyech contact. He can make a good contribution if Chelsea gives him an ideal place. Now his appearance in the World Cup proves that Chelsea misjudged him. There will be a lot of interest from other clubs after this world cup is over and Hakim Ziyech is definitely off the radar.

But in England, what makes a 'big fish' big?  Surely Man United is one of the biggest fishes in the league as far as how they are as a company.  They got one of the widest global reaches of any club possible.  But in terms of current market value of their squad, sure not as big as City, Liverpool or Chelsea.

But that could only be because their players are losing value in the transfer market.  They could be on par or slightly higher than Chelsea if value was still at the prices they were acquired.

Xavi Hernandez is reportedly making an approach with Endrick and trying to bring him to Camp Nou from Palmeiras. This Wonderkid is in great demand by big teams even though he is still very young and has just turned 16 years old. Apart from Xavi Hernandez (Barcelona), he noted that several big teams were also interested in signing him, such as Chelsea and Manchester United.
At Palmeiras, Endrick has played 7 times and scored 3 goals. His slick performance has made many teams want to get his services. If we see now that there are lots of teams that are more interested in young players, this is a good step because that way they are investing in their future. Indeed, from what I see, a team that has succeeded in producing young players is more promising than a team that only collects old players.

[rahmad2nd]

I don't really think Manchester United needs players like maphis Depay and Gakpo because they are wingers and Manchester United has those style of wingers already in their squad, players like rashford,martial and Sancho these players are similar to maphis Depay and if United sign another winger they might stop the progress of their young Argentine (Ganacho) so they should focus on their hunt for strikers because that's the position they are lacking seriously on.

yes, what United need right now is a pure striker, which they can indeed make as a target up front to become a goal machine for United.
United had enough savings when they terminated Ronaldo's contract, I think they can use that to get enough good players to complete the current squad.
if they don't make good purchases this season, I'm sure they won't end this season well.

I'm quite optimistic, if Ten Hag gets the players he needs. Manchester United, will greatly develop under his tutelage. and as we know, that Manchester United really need a pure striker. Depay, however, is not the answer to Man United's needs.

Cody Gakpo plays as a winger, but he can also play as a center forward. if Man United manages to bring him to Old Trafford in January, I'm sure he can be Ronaldo's replacement at Man United. he is also still relatively young, his talent and potential can still be further developed if he plays in a more competitive league
So, I'm pretty sure Man United will be in on the hunt in this winter transfer window. if Ten Hag is wrong to bring in a newcomer who shouldn't be, I'm not sure MU will be able to finish in the top four until the end of the season.

Wingers like Rasford, Martial and Sancho are good enough names for United. Depay is not much different from these players. Actually, it's not the wing, United's problem is they need a good striker, if they were a good finisher the team would really come alive again. Look, the wingers are the top scorers in the team right now. Martial Anthony is a good striker but he has to be his alternative or better. If Lautaro Martínez transfers a striker like Osimhen or another name of this quality, then Manchester United will be an extremely dangerous team. I expect a flash transfer in the winter transfer season
