⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Minecache]

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.

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.

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.

It's a shame that he did not get the playtime that he wanted. I think he could have done much better if he was given some proper chances. He was not given enough chances to prove what he was worth.

In 2020, he signed a contract with Chelsea, but since then, he hasn't received enough playing time at the club. It feels like a waste of talent. Chelsea would have done much better with him regularly playing. But it is also true that Chelsea has a lot of star players in the team. So basically they find it really difficult to rotate the players. So, obviously there is no point for him to staying in Chelsea anymore. And he will also be able to perform well in other teams where he is given enough playtime. At this point, if Manchester United wants him in the team, he should actually be there because he will at least be able to play regularly.

I know that Ronaldo is a rich person, and he probably has a lot of money so he doesn't "need" more money but to refuse that kind of money never made any sense to me. First of all he is no longer the type of guy that can lead a UCL level team, I mean Sherrif was in UCL last year, I do not mean that, I mean a team that is looking to win the whole thing, he won't be there.

So, if there is really an offer for 220 million to him, he should take it and then he could maybe have a chance to buy a whole team in the future. This dude could potentially have 400-500 million in the bank from what we understood on that interview, get another 220 on there and we are talking about at least 700 million, he could make some more deals and get another 300 from ads and sponsorships and promotions, and for 1 billion dollars you may not get City or Liverpool, but you could definitely buy some club.

Really the money is big even he has money and a rich player in this generation he would have accepted the money because we have seen rich players like him became poor because probably after retired from football they have nothing in doing so they spend from the football savings and after when everything has been exhausted they became poor. Now my question bis that, after when has left Manchester United where will he go ?

It's the end for Uruguay in this game. VAR decided on a late penalty and now it's extra time and Bruno has done well.
Portugal is the third team confirmed to qualify now for the next round of the world cup.
Bruno brace in this game of course it's very good for him and I'm happy with the result now.

[Distraction]

Money just doesn't seem to be Ronaldo's priority at least for now. Because he is still passionate about playing for teams that is a participant in the Champions League. He has achieved so many titles and awards in his career so far. He doesn't need to prove anything to himself or anyone actually. It is just about his nature that he is an ambitious person in every condition. Maybe he is this much eager to do this but we don't know how many of this kind of teams will be interested in him in January transfer window.

We have seen rumours about Chelsea maybe but they are focused on finishing the Nkunku deal for now. If they do this then they might not be eager to make another striker signing. I don't believe the rumours about PSG and Bayern Munich also.

Of course, money isn't the priority, Ronaldo is a rich person. He doesn't get money from his salary only, there are many sources where he can earn money. So, money isn't the focus of his career now, he focuses on choosing the proper team for his next destination before he thinks to retire. Since he always wants to play at the highest level of football competition, he has a big intention to join the club which participates in UCL. Unfortunately, most teams that participate in UCL seem not interested to sign Ronaldo, only Chelsea and Bayern Munchen are rumored to try signing Ronaldo. The last rumor I heard, Real Madrid may sign him but I guess Ancelotti prefers a younger striker if there is another option.

The man already has hundreds of millions of dollars, he wouldn't be able to spend it even if he lived for 1000 years. For such people, there are more important things than money. It's perfectly normal for him to want more success as his career ends. Winning another big cup, scoring more goals, winning more matches is definitely more important to him than making more money. Otherwise, he would have signed the crazy money given by the Arabs. I still don't know where he is going, the big teams don't seem very willing to deal with him. When I say big, I mean teams that have the potential to win the Champions League. Otherwise, most smaller teams want Ronaldo. The big teams don't want to spoil the team chemistry because Ronaldo is a huge ego to deal with.

Cristiano Ronaldo is a successful businessman. And I think this thought must have crossed his mind. That type of money that he has, he can obviously do a lot of things with it. Right now, I absolutely believe that he does not need his salary to live. Because he gets enough money generated through his sponsorships and other activities. Will Cristiano Ronaldo buy a club in the future? I guess we will see when the time comes.

I know that Lionel Messi is already 35. But is his career over?

He is still a very influential player for PSG. And he is also performing really well at PSG. It's not like he is not being able to perform well and sitting on the bench most of the time. He is a very active player on the field. Of course, his work rate has decreased with his age. But he is still a highly talented player and there is no reason why he should move to somewhere like MLS. And let's just be honest, no one is going to care how he performs if he actually joins on a team, a lot of people around the world probably have not even heard the name.

No, Messi's career isn't over. He still can play with good form. Everyone can see how well Messi's contribution to PSG lately. I think Messi will stay in PSG for 1-2 years more. Moreover, if PSG will lose Mbappe, Messi's role in PSG quite crucial for PSG attacking line. I think it is possible for PSG to lose Mbappe since Real Madrid is very interested to sign him. Especially when Benzema more often got injured nowadays.

He may consider moving to MLS, but it seems not in the near future.

German Sky Sport News is reporting that FC Bayern is still interested in signing Harry Kane next summer. Bayern is still looking for a new striker after Lewandowski moved to FC Barcelona. The possible transfer fee is estimated at €80-100m. Harry Kane does not seem to be unwilling to transfer to FC Bayern. Even though there is currently no first-hand information confirming his interest.

Harry Kane remains Bayern's desired signing for the summer. The club is neither confirming nor denying the interest in public, the bosses are trying to lay the ground for the transfer in the background.

A move will be more complicated than Mané's transfer, for example. Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is considered a tough negotiator and the player would cost €80-100m. It's very difficult, but Bayern are working on it.

Harry Kane is open for a move. He can well imagine it.

IMHO, a transfer of Kane to FC Bayern would of course be one of the biggest transfers in the club's history. If you can really sign him for €80m, then I am sure that FC Bayern will do everything in their power to complete the transfer. However, we have to wait and see. The matter will certainly drag on for a few more months. At least I don't expect a quick decision. What do you guys think on this rumor?

[Velvet78]

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.

Manchester United were really close to finalizing the Gakpo deal but they couldn't last summer. I think he has increased his value even more since the beginning of the season. This might mean that Manchester United would need to pay much more money to sign him from now on.

Besides the Red Devils might not be the only team interested in signing him as well. Gakpo is one of the promising players and there are some big teams which love to transfer this kind of players to invest into their future. If a team that is in a better condition than the Red Devils makes an offer then the Red Devils might have bigger difficulties.

The deal will be finished in the next transfer season probably in january. It seems like that PSV will be agreed with his transfer to the united in january, united failed to make deal with him caused by PSV didn't agreed with the deal but PSV has changed its mind and it was trying to agree with the deal that will be offered  by united in january.

Besides the Red Devils might not be the only team interested in signing him as well. Gakpo is one of the promising players and there are some big teams which love to transfer this kind of players to invest into their future.

No problem at all as code already given signal to pick united as his new team. There's no need to feel worry about him caused by he has decided his choice is manchester united. Gakpo will come to the united in january. The chance is big for manchester united to get him.

I doubt Bayern will spend that much money on a player this season. They already spent enough although they didn't get what they were waiting for.
Now for Spurs, they will not let him go that easily and will try to grab as much money as possible, they already didn't let him go for City for a higher price if I am not mistaken. I think Bayern could get a younger and talented player for the same price.

Considering the age of harry kane that is not young anymore but he is on peak level which could bring bayern a high expectation in the next 3 years or so as he is 29 years old now ... the price tag of 80 million is a bit overpriced for a team like bayern who put efficiency above all .

Just like sadio mane with his 41 million transfer fee , similar fee agreed by bayern and spurs might be a great deal to miss by bayern but yeah spurs surely win't let him easily.

Yes, one word that is right for Cristiano Ronaldo is ambitious, at an age that is no longer young he still wants to compete in the highest football caste, for him age is just a number, but he doesn't realize that his performance has dropped. Seeing the rumors circulating, only the names of the teams were mentioned by the media. Still curious at the beginning of the year where he will be anchored this time.

[Despairo]

I don't understand why Bayern Munich is interested to sign a new striker again? they already have Lewandowski before, one of the best striker in the world, but they're let him leave. If they're really need striker, why should they need to let Lewandowski go and need to find a replacement that doesn't have 100% guarantee the performance will be same or better than Lewandowski?

We have seen rumours about Chelsea maybe but they are focused on finishing the Nkunku deal for now. If they do this then they might not be eager to make another striker signing. I don't believe the rumours about PSG and Bayern Munich also.

It's almost completed, the fees would be more than 60 Million Euro and the contract will start from June 2023 [1] So this season Chelsea will only rely with their current striker e.g. Havertz, Aubameyang, and Sterling.

He may consider moving to MLS, but it seems not in the near future.

Messi future is starting to be discussed because his contract will expire at the end of the 2022/2023 season. Even though Messi is already 35 years old, he is proving capable of playing at the top level. Barcelona could be the best choice for Messi if he don't extend his contract with PSG, moreover Barcelona are still very ambitious to bring Messi back to Camp Nou. PSG are not too worried about Mbappe for at least the next two years because the club has tied Mbappe with a lavish contract. PSG's focus is only on Messi, when his contract expires he could return to Barcelona and retire there.

Barcelona doesn't need Messi; Xavi should keep constructing his young team instead of bringing Messi back. PSG will extend Messi's contract by another year. Messi should take a lesson from what happened to Ronaldo because moving to Barcelona will put him under a lot of pressure. Mbappa will also be leaving PSG when his contract expires. When Mbappe departs, PSG will capitalize on Messi.

Wow i just see that if liverpool current owner (FSG)already in touch with arabian consortium, it seems like that liverpool's ownership will be changed and it will be owned by arabian-qatar consortium.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-11473447/Liverpool-enter-talks-Saudi-Arabian-Qatari-consortiums-potential-3BILLION-takeover.html

I guess if that will be affecting the club so much as we do know that how crazy arabian-qatar consortium with its unlimited money.


I hope that the new owner will not give impact to the decision of club during the transfer season. It seems like that diego jota will be coming to the liverpool in january as liverpool is talking to bring him to the anfield.


There's also another news if owner of PSG wants to release around 15% from his stake to build a new stadium or purchasing stadium from parc de princes from city of paris

It's also comfirmed by fabrizio romano if kylian mbappe will not leave from PSG in january. that means all of rumours about him were not true.

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.

Endrick has been attracting a number of top clubs this season for his brilliant performances so far, his service is in great demand and has attracted even Barcelona to come knocking. I read that Arsenal are also interested in signing the young star and I think with the right price they are likely to get a deal done in the winter. Endrick will be a good addition in this Arsenal squad competing for the league this season.
