⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Joca97]

Manchester United are rumoured to be making an effort to sign Gonçalo Ramos these days. There is still not clear statement from Manchester United side about bringing a striker in January though. But maybe they might be thinking of Ramos for next season. Besides Benfica might not be close to a deal in the middle of the season while he has been very useful for the team until now.

Especially his hat-trick in the World Cup was enough to get the attention of some big teams. Manchester United might want to act faster than the others. He is valued at only 24 million euros for now. Who knows maybe the Red Devils can have a deal with them at around 40-50 million euros the most. But this World Cup performance will surely make an addition to his value.

He is not good enough for United he may be hyped around all because of that three goals he scored

Man United need a better player than that, Martial is good United should pray and hope he shines with the new week and second round of the Premier League.

Goncalo Ramos is hyped he will not leave up to the amount and score as many goals, Ten Hag is a good Coach what I know is he will make the right introduction for sure.

I think Ramos has the quality for Man Utd and it would be a perfect time for him to leave Benfica and join Man utd. Or he could wait until the end of the season and then join them. Man Utd is in a really big need of a striker and with Ramos they would get a really good striker for years to come.

There was a rumor that Ten Hag was disappointed with De Gea's performance this season. So, Man United is trying to sign a new goalkeeper. I heard they already have some candidates to sign in for the next transfer window. If they extended De Gea's contract, it seems they revoke their intention to have a new goalkeeper.

Ten Haag is really someone who is very difficult to predict, based on statistics De Gea has performed quite well this season, but Ten Haag doesn't like De Gea's performance, I wonder which side Ten Haag sees De Gea as a goalkeeper, LOL.

Last month I saw in the news that Manchester United are interested in signing Unai Simon from Athletic Bilbao, the main reason is not because of great performance but because the goalkeeper is very cheap. Don't know if they currently still have a target to get Unai Simon.

Neuer is 36 years old and although this is a serious age, he is a goalkeeper and can easily play up to 38-39 years old without losing his form and this will not surprise anyone. Will Livakovic agree to move to Bayern but to the position of a substitute goalkeeper? He is 27 years old and I think he can be more ambitious, because if you lose 2-3 years now, then later it is not a fact that he will be able to become a main goalkeeper.

If you assume that way, of course Livakovic will not want to go to Bayern Munich. While he is still young and in good form, it is likely that if he only became a substitute in the reserves, the offer from Bayern Munich would be rejected. But maybe staying or going to another club is a better choice than going to Bayern Munich if Manuel Neuer is still the main goalkeeper.

In general, I don’t know what Livakovic himself thinks about this, I just showed that Dynamo is not in the situation to sell him at an inflated price. For Bavaria specifically, there is no point in rushing with him at all, and again, we all know Bavaria's stinginess and the habit of making acquisitions at the expense of its own name.

Indeed this is just speculation, but the possibility of happening or not we do not yet know. Even so, of course Livakovic really wants to play at a bigger club and that is a natural passion for every player. Let's wait and see if this will really happen or is it just a rumor that makes everyone curious.

After the World Cup was over, the League started again, Arsenal were threatened without Gabriel Jesus being strengthened for up to three months after he suffered a knee injury while defending Brazil at the World Cup. Facing this situation, Arteta will try to find players who can replace Gabriel Jesus. Arsenal will resume their EPL match on December 26 against West Ham, Arteta can find a temporary solution to install the center forward they currently have, but Arsenal must move quickly in the transfer market to look for new players, Joao Felix could be a solution.

This is also a good opportunity for Joao Felix to leave Atletico Madrid in search of a new sensation at Arsenal. The Premier League will also improve its playing experience. Arsenal really need to be able to quickly find players who can be relied upon after Gabriel Jesus suffered an injury that required him to heal his injury first. Yes, of course this is a loss for Arsenal because they have to lose their players.

I don't know if Arsenal will be able to get a replacement who can ever be like Gabriel Jesus.They need to get a replacement for him because that frontline won't be as active as when he is infront.Joao Felix is a very good player,but he cannot replace him,all Arsenal need to do now is to pray he recovers as quickly as possible,so that he can continue to lead the line and make Arsenal achieve.I hope Arsenal adds more three signings to their squad to to keep depth in the squad.

Ferran Torres to Barcelona was a shocking transfer to me, I didn't see it coming and until now I still wonder why Manchester city opted to sell Ferran Torres to Barcelona knowing how good he was playing for Manchester City. Too bad he is struggling for games at Barcelona, I bet he will be wishing he had stayed back and remained at Manchester city where he was getting enough game time. Good news for him, Arteta seems to be interested in Ferran Torres as a prospective replacement for Gabriel Jesus.

Ferran Torres is a precocious player, but the truth is that he was not getting enough playing time in Manchester City, back then Pep even opted to play without a striker, sending Ferran Torres way down the pecking order at City, he saw an opportunity to move to a club like Barcelona and he took it, City saw the money Barcelona were offering and they had to take it, both parties were happy. Mind you that when Ferran arrived at Barcelona, the club didn't have many of the players they have now, and he was playing regularly then, but last summer Barcelona bought quite a lot of players, including striker Lewandowski, and Ferran now has to manage a place on the bench as he mostly comes on as a substitute.

Having said that, if Arsenal are interested in him, then he could grab the opportunity and come back to the EPL, quite a lot of attackers have been linked with Arsenal this January, including Athletico Madrid's Joao Felix, i'd prefer the Portuguese sign for Arsenal rather than Ferran Torres, he is a better player imo, but the window will open soon and we'd see the new faces that would arrive at the Emirates.

It is quite disappointing to see that Ferran Torres is not playing regularly for Barcelona. And obviously, it is likely to be in his long-term interest to move away from Barcelona, knowing that he’s not expecting to get a substantial amount of playtime.

It might be a worthwhile idea for him to switch to Arsenal if they are actually serious about him. Because Arsenal are currently playing very well. And if he does manage to win the English Premier League with Arsenal, that would be a big achievement in his career. Because Arsenal are taking him as a substitute for a very significant player. So he will get a really substantial amount of playtime at Arsenal which he is obviously not getting at Barcelona. And I think it is also in the long-term interest of Barcelona to let him move on. As a result, they will be able to improve their defense.

It has been confirmed by posting the official Instagram account of Fabrizio Romano, that the Brazilian wonderkid who also defends the Palmeiras club will soon be anchored to the Santiago Bernabeu in 2024 and his contract will have options until 2030. This is the result of quite tough negotiations with Palmeiras considering that this player is still 16 years old and provisions from La Liga, new players can join the competition when they are 18 years old, so we are still waiting for another 2 years to see the action of this talented young player Endrick with Real Madrid.

I have never heard of that player to be honest because i don't follow the Brazilian League. I think that a signing of a player at this very young age is always a complete gamble for the club that is signing him. In this case Real Madrid obviously. There were so many wonderkids already in football and only a few of them really made it to a really big star in the end. Just remember what was happening with Martin Odegaard a few years ago. Everyone said he was the biggest talent ever and basically every big club like Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and many others wanted to sign him and in the end he decided to go to Madrid but he never really managed to make it there. Now with 23 he is a good player for Arsenal but nothing more.

Before that I didn't really know about this Brazilian wonderkid but when Real Madrid signed him then it was definitely the right choice, I hope Endrick doesn't suffer the same fate as other players and is able to make a real contribution to the club. Most young players at Real Madrid if they don't get minutes they will be on the bench or loaned to other clubs. Like Martin Odeegard he had no place in Real Madrid's starting line-up which made him now better at Arsenal and captain of the team nicknamed the Gunners.

Why are you quite surprised to see De Gea's contract extension? He is one of the main pillars that is difficult to replace at Manchester United, he plays regularly at any level of competition there. I was just surprised to see the contract extensions of Fred and also Diogo Dalot, they haven't had an impressive performance this season, I even heard before that Manchester United wants to swap Diogo Dalot with Denzel Dumfries who is currently playing at Inter Milan.

There was a rumor that Ten Hag was disappointed with De Gea's performance this season. So, Man United is trying to sign a new goalkeeper. I heard they already have some candidates to sign in for the next transfer window. If they extended De Gea's contract, it seems they revoke their intention to have a new goalkeeper.

I don't think so. Ten haag already stated that if MU wants to extend the contract from some players and one of these players was de gea. that means ten haag is still feeling satisfied with the performance of de gea. I don't even think MU wants to buy a new goal keeper again. De gea itself was a good keeper since the era from sir alex ferguson. He was always doing very well in any season with MU.

Yep, both Fred and Dalot also played underperformance. But Man United wants to extend their contract for substitution. I'm not surprised if these players have a contract extension due to that reason.

In addition rash ford and luke shaw will got and extend for their contracts but MU was only offering 1 year extend for all of them. 5 payers got 1 year more in united.

Indeed, they will extend De Gea's contract at Manchester United, according to the news link shared by @kawetsriyanto, but haven't you seen the news about them wanting to get Unai Simon? it was widespread in many news media (Footballtransfertavern, Besoccer, Soccernews & Thehardtackel). Maybe, De Gea's contract extension at Manchester United is aimed at anticipating if they can't get Unai Simon from Athletic Bilbao.

I think Kante is one of the best defensive midfielders in the world, but he has been getting injured a lot lately. Chelsea club managers are worried about this. I think they are somewhat right... For a while, there were news in the press that PSG and Juventus were interested in him. I think the French league would be one of the best options for him because Ligue 1 is an easier league than the Premier league. Also, if he goes to France, he can have opportunities to achieve significant success in the Champions League with PSG.

Apart from PSG and Juventus, Barcelona are very interested in bringing in Kante. Barcelona will move in the transfer market to look for a new midfielder in anticipation of Sergio Busquets leaving Barcelona after his contract expires. There are several options available for Kante, PSG can give him everything. Money and trophies can be obtained there, while at Barcelona he had to accept a salary cut due to the unstable finances of Barcelona.
I'm not sure Kante chose Juventus because currently the Italian club is dealing with the law due to allegations of falsifying books and transfers.

poor performance during World Cup will make it even more difficult for Ronaldo to get a club in Europe. So far, there are no more rumors reporting European club interest in Ronaldo.

Because he doesn't have a club, Ronaldo is currently reported to have chosen to train in Madrid. He is very lucky that even though he is no longer a Madrid player, he can still train at his former club.

Maybe, if AC Milan were still held by the duo Berlusconi and Galliani, Ronaldo would be the player they brought in. Somehow, this duo very often able to bring in old star players (Ronaldo (brazil), Ronaldinho, Robinho, Ibra, Torres) and what's unique is that they manage to bring in these players for a lower salary. 

I guess getting Ronaldo wouldn't really work well for them, they already have a very old and highly paid Ibrahimovic already missing a good chunk of the season anyway so it doesn't feel like it would be smart to get another old player for a lot of money and then not get any positive help from him in the end.
--

There is a lot of media coverage about him. There is no such thing as a private life for the man. CR7 will remain at his Madrid home until the future of his life is clarified. As a result, he will likely continue his training at Real Madrid City. This is how Real Madrid treats a man who has once been of great service to you.

There is no doubt that the man is going through a difficult time. Whatever the case, as a man, you should expect all kinds of difficulties, so I hope he finds a perfect place to settle. It would be nice to remember the good times he had in their various clubs, even though he might not be in good shape as expected.

you're correct, Ronaldo might not be in good form now because of the challenges surrounding him at the moment. But he's still very important player in any squad if given the opportunity, Madrid has shown what man utd couldn't do to Ronaldo. Man utd think no player is bigger than the club, but changing training facilities is a problem to them.
Ronaldo in his interview made mention about how classic Madrid training was compared to man united. After the world cup defeat,he runs down to Madrid to train. It's shows that Ronaldo is never satisfied with his previous achievements. Other players are on holiday, the old man is busy training to keep fit. I pray he found a good club that will value him like Madrid.

Why is it that Giroud is still playing at AC Milan? Of course AC Milan is a big club with status, but it cannot be compared with top teams in Europe. I actually expected that another big club would try to bring in Girou. He has been doing well lately and he has already proven his worth at the World Cup. And also top scorer of the French national team of all time. Then you would rather think of a different name. Maybe Real Madrid is a good club for him?

Giroud is 36 years it's will be quite difficult for any big European club to sign him no doubt he is a prolific goal scorer with his strength in aerial balls, his goal scoring abilities was evident in the ongoing World Cup in Qatar in the absence of injured Benzema with four goals to his credit, I think what matter most in his career is regular playing and starting eleven which he is enjoying at AC Milan, he played six seasons for Arsenal and a brief stint in Chelsea before signing for A Milan is quite an illustrious career and whether a big offers comes or not he should continue with his fine form in AC Milan.

So far no club has seriously targeted Olivier Giroud, the impressive performance and productivity of scoring goals from aerial balls that he showed with the French national team at the Qatar World Cup making players much talked about at this time. However, after seeing several sources in the media, the player was not rumored with any club, because maybe age was one of the reasons Oliver Giroud could not play long-term, the impressive performance he showed at the World Cup, also because of the effect that Karim Benzema was not included in Didier Deschamps' squad due to injury.

The most appropriate step is to stay at AC Milan and continue to show consistency in helping AC Milan win the top three positions in the standings and be on the Scudetto hunting list.

I read the news at Local Media about Belingham being interested in Chelsea, Madrid, Liverpool and Man City. We know he is currently playing with Dortmund. He performed well with Dortmund and England in the world cup. We know Dortmund have always been a Team with a Great player product. Last but not least is Haaland,Haaland's sale provides huge funds for Dortmund.
At the moment Belingham is in contention, but it seems that it is difficult to realize because Dortmund still do not want to let go. They want him to stay at Dortmund and get to his best game. Because he has only played in his third year this season. Previously he also played for Brimingham for two years.

Apart from Dortmund, who really want to keep Bellingham, at least Dortmund must make a promising offer, starting from the salary and position that cannot be replaced. For Bellingham, it is very natural how the atmosphere of the Premier League makes him eager to show the skills he has. But again, a contract is still a contract, and to let a Bellingham go, big clubs have to lobby in every way possible.

Switching Dortmund to an English team is something the player has to look at critically because England is not just a league where a player will feel he will Excell immediately he gets there.The English football is very rough and hard,and it takes people who have strong body building to be able to Excel there,defenders are very rough,and with the method of play there,you must be very rugged and tactical to be able to play and Excell in the league.

If Bellingham should sign for an English team,he might take time to adapt to the system of play there.

Precisely that's a risk that must be taken by a Bellingham. After all, with the potential that he has, it will be very suitable for him to develop in the Premier League. If you only rely on pampering and gentleness then he will not develop his potential. The Premier League is a big game and is a core that should be considered. Bellingham will surely have a well-deserved place in the Premier League.

Many players who are not big in stature play in England but they are successful as Foden is the main player in the Manchester City squad. Thiago Alcantara who strengthens Liverpool and Antony who will shine with Mancherter United.
It is not impossible that Bellingham will become a player who will be successful if he plays in the English Premier League.

The EPL is known to be tough and difficult for new players to join to adapt, but all of this has been proven by players who joined from clubs outside England several seasons ago that this is not 100%.

Also, if he goes to France, he can have opportunities to achieve significant success in the Champions League with PSG.

The main reason why chelsea didn't wanna try to keep kante is his injury. I meant kante was not even playing since the early of season. that's caused by kante has not yet recovered from his injury and chelsea didn't wanna try to take the risk by extending his contract for another years.
PSG and barcelona have been interesting with him but the problem is barcelona is one step ahead compared with PSG caused by barcelona already in talk with kante's agent for his status that will become free transfer.
I think that moving to the PSG may become a good idea compared with barcelona but since barcelona has been talking with kante's agent and i think that barcelona will get him.

I guess getting Ronaldo wouldn't really work well for them, they already have a very old and highly paid Ibrahimovic already missing a good chunk of the season anyway so it doesn't feel like it would be smart to get another old player for a lot of money and then not get any positive help from him in the end.

I think they are good the way they are and should keep going the way they are as well to make sure that everything goes right. Let Napoli be champions if they don't lose, and Milan should aim at being second or third, and they could be second that is a good amount of money and they can get rid of Ibrahimovic and his big salary, and get a younger player and try again next season.

I'm also not saying Milan will sign Ronaldo at this time. However, my point is, if Milan were still led by Berlusconi and Galliani, maybe they could sign Ronaldo. Even though Ronaldo is old, we remember how Van Bommel was brought in by Milan even though he was old. The duo Berlusconi & Galliani are lovers of old star players. I think the main goal is business not just trophies.

Because now they are gone, and Pioli is more focused on young players, of course this is a good era for Milan. I don't think at this time Milan will sign Ronaldo. Because, Milan under Financial problem, they can't pay Ronaldo.

BTW, Milan is currently trying to offer new contract for Leao, but contract offer that was given was rejected. Chelsea & Madrid are the clubs linked with Leao, Chelsea are reportedly bidding for 70 million Euros. But Milan rejected this offer. We know, Milan need him, they will try to do anything to make him stay.

Exclusive: Chelsea are on the verge of signing David Datro Fofana, here we go soon! There’s full agreement in place with Molde to sign Ivorian striker born in 2002. Personal terms are still being discussed with player — then deal will be signed for more than €10m fee.
Source: https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1603345923819851776

Don't you just love the new management at Chelsea, immediately Broja was reported injuried, the management didn't waste anytime and went looking for a striker immediately and now they're about signing one as reported by Fabrizio Romano. And with this news that means Chelsea won't be going after Ronaldo. This kind of make me sad as i I really wanted to watch the goat play at Chelsea but I support the decisions of the club.

David Datro Fofana isn't a bad player and definitely does have some goals to his name which he'll continue while wearing the Chelsea jersey. This will be an addition to the attack of Chelsea and goes to say alot about how the new owners wants the club to excel. All is left is the manager executing his work brilliantly to get the best out of his players or expect a sack letter anytime soon.

Due to a hamstring injury, Kante cannot play a role in the Chelsea squad. This season Kante has only appeared twice, against Everton and Tottenham in the premier league. Kante contract with Chelsea will expire in June 2023, according to one local media report that I have read, it is estimated that he will not renew his contract with Chelsea.
Rumors are circulating that Kante is closer to Barcelona than PSG. From the results of Barcelona talks with Kante agents, both parties have reached an agreement for Kante transfer.
