⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

BTW, there is a plan from the Portugal coach not to play Ronaldo against Switzerland. It looks like the coach will make a mistake if he doesn't play Ronaldo in this match.

Santos is one of the most underrated coaches of our time (or the last decade). And yesterday his plan worked great. I think it was not to change Ronaldo at the end, but to do the opposite, release him after the first half, and start the game at a high pace with high pressure. Who knew that the pressure would be so successful and that Switzerland would not be ready for high speeds. As a result, Ronaldo was released into the phase of the game when it was actually completed and Portugal played to keep the score. I think in the game with Morocco he will be in the first team.

Barcelona are still targeting to be active in next transfer window according to news. But I don't how they are planning to do this while they are facing a probable obstacle by La Liga financial rules in January.

As far as I have heard Laporta also mentioned their current condition and talked negatively about this transfer window. On the other hand, there are some new rumours that have surfaced like one of their targets in January is Martinelli. However even if they become available to make some transfers somehow, I don't think Arsenal would be eager to sell Martinelli in the middle of the season. Because he is one of the most important players for the team now. He has increased his value by €20m in only a few months also. Arsenal wouldn't think of parting ways with any of their crucial players in this part of the season.

CR7 has a bad attitude towards the others which leads him to be sanctioned in a way or another. There was some tensions between him and the staff but it was resolved tho. I am not sure if he will be picked to play vs Morocco since the beginning but I am pretty sure that he will not play full-time.

Reported from  Fabrizio Romano Cristiano Ronaldo rumor about joined with Saudi Arabian team Al Nassr done deal is not true, I don't think why many newspaper have official announcement about agreement deal between Cristiano Ronaldo with Al Nassr because he wants existing with playing in European team. I think all player transfer rumor never true except announced by Fabrizio Romano.

Fabrizio romano was just a human like us. He was also getting the news from his reliable source but sometime his news didn't have good accuracy. that's normal for me to think if he may sometime wrong about his prediction and speculation. Ronaldo itself will be announcing it if he will be interested to join with al nassr but we may not see his decision to be announced shortly.

Actually, if you look at Fabrizio's vocabulary, he doesn't say clearly about the agreement between the two, which in this case only says about Alnassr, but not Ronaldo.
He said this was only an update from the previous update so whether or not this was true still couldn't be decided especially with the words in his tweet hanging this could be interpreted that it still couldn't be said that everything was in order but most likely there had been talk about this because of Fabrizio always cross-check before making something as far as I know.

After belgium came back from the world cup he announced this,, I know his contribution in madrid is not that big but he is actually still so young, it's a shame he retired so quickly.

He isn't that young, he's 31 years of age and has definitely go pass his peaks. I feel so sad for him, since his departure from Chelsea, he has just been meant with one disaster or another. I guess he (Eden Hazard) voluntary retiring is because he doesn't think he'll be call up again and his footballing career is over after his contract at Real Madrid ends. I think he should return to Chelsea and he'll get everything back on track. Him leaving a club that was built around him to a club that he'll just be an ordinary players was the worst career decision of his playing time.

But when talking about returning to Chelsea, will it return to its best form, in my opinion it will not happen, we can take the example that was already there at that time, KAKA's figure at AC Milan was very bright and when he changed the Real Madrid costume, Precisely KAKA's performance lost and even lost the competitiveness of several Real Madrid star players at that time, and in the end KAKA decided to return to AC Milan, but unfortunately his performance actually disappeared because there were too many on the bench which made his performance decrease, just like (Eden Hazard) lack the opportunity to play in order to restore his performance at Real Madrid, but instead (Eden Hazard) has always been a back-up player for Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti.

I read the article I got, Martinelli is already on Barcelona's radar for the winter, of course Barcelona wants this left-wing striker to strengthen his team. On the other hand, Arsenal are currently preparing a new contract with Martinelli, considering that his contract will expire next season, maybe Arsenal moved fast and didn't want him to leave so he offered a contract early even though there was no agreement from the two of them, the main reason was because he was still appearing in the world cup.
Not only that, Arsenal will definitely keep Martinelli because Arteta already knows very well about the Brazilian player's onfire. On the other hand, Martinelli is happy to be offered a contract by Barcelona. Maybe there is a different trend, we will see how it goes.

The Ronaldo topic is simple to me actually. If he is still ambitious to play in the Champions League then he should ask Al-Nassr for waiting for his final decision for some time. He should wait and see if he gets any offer from a decent European team which competes in the Champions League.

If he doesn't get such offer then his decision should definitely be to accept this extraordinary contract offer. He can secure his future after his retirement by a contract like this in the end. He might not get the same amount in future offers maybe if he doesn't accept it now.

I don't know if Ronaldo has problems with the management, the staff or the coach. What I know is that the coach of Portugal knew too well that what will win the match for him is high pressing football. And Ronaldo cannot play the high pressing football, that is why he was dropped and brought in second half. That is the same strategy with Erik ten Hag but may people criticised him for not playing Ronaldo always. I think he has been vindicated.

The German newspaper SportBILD is reporting that FC Bayern really wants to keep Jamal Musiala at the club. Despite his long contract until 2026, Bayern bosses are interested in extending his contract.

Bayern want to keep Jamal Musiala in the long term and make him the identification figure of the club. Despite a contract until 2026, the bosses don't want to take any risks and are already planning talks for a further extension with a pay rise.

Hasan Salihamidžić to @SPORTBILD: "Of course, we told Jamal's mother Carolin and his management before the World Cup that we're very happy with Jamal and we let them know that we want to sit down with them after the tournament to talk about Jamal's further future at FC Bayern"

I can imagine half the football world wanting to sign Musiala after this World Cup. By far the best German player, IMHO. His market value has already reached €100m, making him the most valuable German player. It's pretty crazy that he's only 19.

Apart from that, it looks like Ronaldo will be resting if see the level of difficulty of opponents Portugal will face in the coming days. But I'm sure Ronaldo's contribution will be need in the semifinals if Portugal manages to win over Morocco.
By the way, how will Ronaldo's career at the club continue? The last time I saw a team from Portugal was also interested in Cristiano Ronaldo.

I haven't heard what you're saying, can you include a valid source for what you're saying?
Cristiano Ronaldo has his own charm, even talking about himself not being included in the starting line-up is still a hot topic of conversation. And also this gave rise to a lot of wild speculation against him. Even if we see other players who are the main players and not included in the starting line-up, that is natural and not too exaggerated.
The most important fact is that Portugal won a landslide victory in that match even without Ronaldo's presence. And this is also a topic of conversation, because Portugal's landslide victory could have happened because Ronaldo did not play from the early minutes. Really really wild.  

[coinlocket$]

Ronaldo denied the rumors linked to Al-Nassr, he said he has not signed with them.
Was a rumor, more than a rumor form for the deal done with the Saudi Arabia club for 200m/year.


I still think he will end with Sporting.

[Zaguru12]

Ronaldo parted ways with Manchester United in a disharmonious way, even though Ronaldo separation from Manchester United was based on a mutual agreement. But for a player of Ronaldo class it is a setback in his career because previously he had never parted ways with any club that made him a free transfer player while his contract was still active.
One way to make Manchester United regret his decision, Ronaldo must stay in the Premier League or Europe's elite league. Even though he is 37 years old but still able to play at the highest level, Ronaldo needs to prove that he is still very worthy of trust.

Seriously I find it ridiculous that people still blame Manchester United for agreeing to end Ronaldo's contract. Were you expecting him to be welcomed back after that interview. No matter how dirty ones dealings are you don't wash them outside. The moment Ronaldo voiced out that about disrespecting the manager, he was surely heading out. Right now Ronaldo doesn't need to prove anything to Manchester United because he will forever be loved there but no player is bigger than the club. So he should focus on redeeming his lost touch and retire this illustrious career in high.

I think all player transfer rumor never true except announced by Fabrizio Romano.

Still questionable with the future team for Cristiano Ronaldo, waiting few weeks later after World Cup over and we know what the next team for Ronaldo retired his career.

Seeing Lionel Messi competitive and still competing at a top level for Paris Saint Germans should be the stuff fuelling himself to want to give it a further trail at a top level. Though, I know he has a young mind but man offers less currently to any side he is playing with.
I'd support him where ever he goes next but man needs to play as a team and not for himself and the personal record's he is chasing, he has won all it takes and need not prove himself again.

He's having no agreements yet with the Saudi Arabian Club, he disregarded anything that has to relate to it.
They should be more focused against Morocco, I'm African, bit in this game, damn the Moroccans are going home, they just can't match that quality from Portugal.

I was actually waiting for something from Fabrizio Romano. And finally, it was really comforting to know what was going to happen. I always had my doubts about this Cristiano Ronaldo deal. Cristiano Ronaldo is a very competitive person and I really did not think he was planning to move to Saudi Arabia. Even though he was offered a lot of money. He is still waiting to see if he can gain entry to any top-end club. Clearly, he will not terminate his career at such an early stage by playing at some place and at some club that isn't even of interest to other people.

However, this does not mean Cristiano Ronaldo will never accept this offer if it becomes the only viable option in the future.

Besides Cody Gakpo there is one more Netherlands player who targetting by big clubs because of playing well at world cup and reported Inter Milan player Denzel Dumfries was targeted by 2 England clubs Chelsea and Manchester United and actually Inter don't mind if he moves to other clubs because basically Inter needed money and Inter have to sell several players to solved their financial problem but Dumfries agent hoping Inter wouldn't provide high price to them because he fear those clubs will withdraw to gets him because of Dumfries price is overpriced

There are lot of players being monitored now after strong performances them. It's not just two names but lot of names are there. Lot of rumours will come up also but I would say stick to strong sources only. Dumfries recently moved to Inter and Inter are not a bad club either. Besides he has contract until 2025 and to get Dumfries, clubs interested have to pay a lot. I think he is gonna stay at Inter. Clubs might contact the player or club but at some point I feel it will fall off.

This makes sense if the coach sees the quality of the opponents they will face. Not belittling the opponent, but indeed if the coach feels other players are more ready to play than Cristiano Ronaldo it will be very natural to do so.
Morocco is a country of surprises at the moment, Portugal must be more careful when facing them because it is possible they can do what they did to Spain, which is to send Portugal home in this quarter-final. However, there are different strategies shown by Spain and Portugal. Spain indeed they were more patient in looking for gaps to penetrate the opponent's defense, but this actually became a loss for them in the last 16 round. Portugal, on the other hand, was quicker in flowing the ball into the opponent's defense, but the problem was that they had to be more patient because in the first game they lost the ball too quickly. A different strategy will make Morocco think again in the face of Portugal, because the same strategy may not be effective against their opponents this time.

Enough rumours circulating Ronaldo and what his next club will be. He exits united the moment he procrastinate the conditions of the team. Ronaldo said his mind and Piers Morgan have even urged Ronaldo to have a second thought about joining arsenal which I think it's absolutely out of the box for the GOAT. Ronaldo focusing more on the world cup rather than staggering on rumours concerning his move to Al-Nessr as false. He's heavily link with move to Saudi club and it's one of the big deals in football history if he pull it.

You cannot just write off a team that were able to hold down Spain to a goalless draw in 90 minutes plus 15 minutes extra time and went ahead to knock Spain out in penalty shootouts. They have been incredible in their performance this World Cup. Morocco is determined and looking very ambitious so it wouldn't be as simple as you think even if Portugal will win at the end of the day. I am 100% in support of Morocco on the match day to give Portugal a tough fight.

This is pretty interesting. Because even Fabrizio Romano wrote about a formal offer by Al-Nassr to Ronaldo. He shared another tweet later on in which Ronaldo said no for any official agreement with them as well. Maybe they have really made the speculated amount of offer to him already. But Ronaldo might be thinking of evaluating the offer after the World Cup by stalling them until that time. He wants to be focused on only the World Cup now in the end.

To be honest, it would be lovely to continue to watch him in Europe. But it must be really not easy for Ronaldo to refuse Al-Nassr's enormous offer that easy even though he is already very rich.

I will say this again that Ronaldo has nothing else to prove, his career is already well decorated and his achievements speak for him already so I see nothing else to prove to anyone. It was unfortunate how both parties ended up their long time relationship but I think it was for the best and both parties are relaxed now after dropping a huge problem they have been facing for weeks. If I were to be Ronaldo I will just take the Arabian deal and enjoy the benefits that come along.
