⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Despairo]

Chelsea in this season is really crazy, they spend a lot money to bought many players! it's started from Raheem Sterling, Kalidou Koulibaly, Marc Cucurella, Wesley Fofana and Aubameyang, now it seems they will sign a potential center forward from Molde e.g. David Datro Fofana and Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund. Chelsea only need to sign 4 players more to make a complete change on their club lol.

I actually think that Ronaldo CR7 being in Real Madrid training ground today will mean something in coming future. At this point , I'm sure that Ronaldo will accept being on the bench for Real Madrid as if I were Ancelotti and I had to chose between Hazaard and Cr7 , I would go with Cr7 to be my prime substitute. Nevertheless , Florentino Perez seems very open to let Ronaldo training as long as he needs so that's maybe another hint that he will be officially with Real until summer.

Real Madrid isn't a club who want to waste their money, as you can see Real Madrid always bought a young potential players in able to achieve the best result during their prime. This is why Real Madrid sold Ronaldo, they didn't extend his contract since Ronaldo isn't in prime condition again.

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%.

I think Jude Bellingham will be able to adapt to the English Premier League quite well. It will probably take a few matches, and after that, he should be able to play his natural game in the English Premier League.

Able to adapt quickly depending on which club he (Jude Bellingham) will join. If he joins a club that has players he played with in the England national team while in Qatar, then he only needs a few games to settle on other terms it doesn't take much time.

I agree that the way Jude is right now, he would be good enough for premier league already next season, but also he will keep growing there as well. Lets not forget that this kid is just 19 years old. This also means he will have a chance to play 10+ years in premier league if he is good and that is going to give him some benefits as well, dude will grow and train and gain experience there and overall become a better player.

You think Ilkay was this good when he was 20? Or Silva? Not even De Bruyne was this much of a big deal at 20 if you ask me. So Jude could play with City and gain experience and become a great player for them if City actually buys him.

Apart from the support of other players in the team, the role of the coach is also quite large in making a player able to adapt quickly because it all depends on Jude Bellingham to work hard which includes the coach's own trust.
Bellingham doesn't have to join Manchester City, but Liverpool can too as long as support and trust are given.

We still remember these words how he said that and Ronaldo still has the ambition to play in the Champions League even though he is old and not fit anymore, but what we see seems to be that it will be difficult for European teams to accept him back, starting from high salaries and failing in the World Cup with his poor performance and now he is not aggressive anymore a little weak to be on the field so I think it is difficult to determine he will play in the UCL.

If European clubs are unable to sign him, then another option is Al-Nassr, who is ready with a high salary in one season and sponsors are ready to wait for Ronaldo.

Yup, 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 think Ronaldo actually should have taken that Saudi Arabia deals that would have given him a huge amount of money. Because currently he is not needed in any Champions League playing team.

And I agree with @masulum that he is lucky to be able to train in his former club's training round. If he had a good performance in the World Cup, probably he could have attracted some attention because after all his work ethic is still very good. But his performance was not very good in the World Cup. I don’t see him getting into the Champions League playing team right now. He really should be thinking about accepting Saudi Arabia deals if it is still available.

Agree with this because indeed the attack line at Manchester City has actually been filled at the moment. Not only Haaland but there is also Alvarez who, although now he is only a rotational player but I think this player is also very good and promising so why do they add more positions in this case but it is indeed a possibility for the defense maybe they will start looking for someone new although for now it is not really necessary.

But in reality Manchester City only depends on Erling Haaland who has the nickname Walking Robot because indeed Erling Haalang's expertise when on the field is able to control the ball and control the ball quickly and if there is no full supervision then Erling Haaland will score many goals, the defense of each team is indeed there will always be the potential to be penetrated by opponents, all that needs to be done is good teamwork to strengthen the defense.

Only relying on Erling Haaland would be a big mistake for Manchester City, the success of a team is not measured by one or two individuals. Teamwork is needed and supported by the strategy implemented by the coach. Since the arrival of Erling Haaland to the Etihad stadium, Manchester City goal productivity has increased. Pep Guardiola certainly relies heavily on Erling Haaland as a killer in front of the opponent's goal, but Guardiola must have a plan B if Haaland is locked in by opposing players.
Haaland was the most successful transfer made by Manchester City before the season started, the money spent by Manchester City was not comparable to Haaland contribution while he was part of the Manchester City squad.

Since those players signed by tuchel and potter has no clue about what he should do with the players that already bought by tuchel. What can potter do to use the available resources and yeah the worst result happened with him after chelsea lose three times in a row without even making a single goal. That's a very crazy result by spent bunch of money but the performance from the club was going decrease even further compared with before. it seems like that potter already planned to bought new player again.
The thing that i can't even understand is potter wants to sign more striker for chelsea. that will make chelsea has become a big club with so many failed transfer that happened in this season.
Spending bunch of money for nothing.

How do we explain with the quite sensational signing of Endrick from Palmeiras, this player even had to wait two years to defend Real Madrid, that means they are investing in young players who are not sure what will happen in the future.

Although many say that Endrick has the abilities that Romario and Ronaldo have, the problem is that this young player has not been tested at all, even Real Madrid is willing to pay dearly for the player even though they have to wait two years to join them. Cristian Ronaldo was sold due to a decline in form, but the fact is that he was still able to adapt at Juventus at that time and gave satisfactory results for two seasons before moving to Manchester United.

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.

Gonçalo Ramos attracted the attention of many after this year's World Cup. His performance was really good and it's normal for big teams to be interested. But the Premier League is a difficult league and it is not easy to show the same performance here.
I have some doubts that he is a player who can really do well at Manchester United, Manchester may need a better striker

But it's true that it's still Manchester United's target, it's just that there hasn't been an official statement yet, the article is that Goncalo Ramos can replace Ronaldo's position, just as he played in Portugal in the world cup, so maybe it would be very suitable if Ten Haga could put him well there. it might happen but unfortunately Manchester United still has other options besides Goncalo Ramos who is in his sights.
Well, this is the same as Nunez when he was still at Benfica, his performance was very good but when he was in the Premier League it was difficult to find good performance again, I think Goncalo Ramos will have to be able to adjust again to his new league later.

Goncalo Ramos is a young player who has great potential. It seems that he is putting on a decent performance at the moment.
The problem with him is that despite his talent, I doubt he will be able to match that performance with Manchester United since he will be facing much bigger and better opponents.
It doesn't seem like there is any reality where he will be able to successfully replace Cristiano Ronaldo.

And, there is no indication that Manchester United are that concerned about bringing him in. In my opinion, he is not capable of filling the void left by Cristiano Ronaldo. Manchester United will have to bring in a better player who will be a reliable goal-scorer. As a first step, Manchester United will need to solve the problems between the authorities and the players in order to move forward.

Manchester United will attempts to gets Barcelona player Alejandro Balde this because they impress to his performance during this season especially after Xavi playing him regularly on right back position even he can replace Jordy Alba on that position and why Manchester United want him because Ten Hag feel Balde will be perfect replacement for Luke Shaw who possibly will left Manchester United after end of this season and Balde contract actually will ended on 2024 and Barcelona apparently want to extended his contract but negotiation still stuck until now so Manchester United want to utilized this situation and attempts to gets him

Alejandro Balde is projected by Erik Ten Hak as a replacement for Luke Shaw next season, because the player is almost out of contract and intends to move to another club, this situation has made Manchester United even more interested in bringing Alejandro Balde to Old Trafford.
Meanwhile, Alejandro Balde still wants to stay longer at Camp Nou, because the player wants to continue his career at Barcelona. Negotiations between the two parties are still not going smoothly and it is likely that Manchester United will find it difficult to reach an agreement with the players and Barcelona management, because Xavi has a long-term project with the young players they currently have, and it seems that Manchester United's chances of signing Alejandro Balde are very small.

But I am not sure that Barcelona will agree to let him go. Because if Barcelona do end up letting him go, they will have to find another player who will be able to replace Jordi Alba. And right now, Barcelona does not have the money needed for that. I don’t think it will be in the best interest of Barcelona to sell Alejandro Balde.

Because a good defender is going to cost quite a lot of money, especially because of the current inflation going on. Barcelona should concentrate on selling those players and only those players who are not being played. Barcelona has quite a lot of them. Barcelona should realize that and give Balde a contract extension in my opinion. But if the player wants to leave Barcelona, that’s another story.

Manchester City are said to have transferring Bellingham and Saka in their plans. However especially Bellingham rumour doesn't seem sensible to me. Because Manchester City don't need such player in their midfield now. Their midfield is already very strong. There is no need to splurge on another youngster. This transfer would just cause some unease among the attacking midfielders especially. The number of alternatives will be so many and Guardiola can have difficulty in making all the talented players satisfied.

Saka transfer can be good actually because they have only one player on each wing as natural wingers now - Mahrez and Grealish. But Arsenal would demand a lot of money for Saka as he is one of the crucial players for them.

If Saka is transferred to Manchester City, Arsenal will also be weakened. Manchester City will throw one stone and hit two birds if they make this transfer. Bayern Munich were using the same transfer methods to weaken Borussia Dortmund. This method is a good tactic in terms of squad planning, but it will be a bad transfer for us as it will end the competition in the league. On the other hand, I think Jude Bellingham is a better football player than Saka. If Manchester City sign Jude Bellingham, they will expand their squad and intensify the competition. Jude Bellingham is a young and talented football player. He had a great assist in that Senegal match. I think this transfer will be positive for Manchester City if it happens.

Saka is one of the young players in the English league with future prospects. Saka is an important player and an important asset to the club therefore losing him at this point in his career will be a huge lose and will be avoided at all cost. If Dortmund want to sell out Bellingham it is up to them, after all it has been in their nature to sell their talented players for profit it's no longer new.

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.

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.

David Fofana is a decent player. And the coolest thing is that he is only 19 years old. So he has a lot of time to work with Chelsea and improve himself for the future. Chelsea are obviously trying to do whatever they can to improve their position on the table in the English Premier League. They are not playing well right now and I believe that they are hoping to bring in players and also hoping that they will be able to perform well. At least better than what they did before the World Cup break.

And rest assured, if the coach cannot bring in successful results, even after bringing in talented players, I don’t think he’s going to stay for a long period of time as the coach of Chelsea.

As reported by Fabrizio Romano, that Chelsea and Christopher Nkunku have reached an agreement to sign a contract, it is also reported that a clause worth 60 million euros for this player and has undergone a medical test. He is only 25 years old and it seems that Chelsea's future will be a little bright, but Nkunku can only join Chelsea in July 2023. It seems that Graham Potter is lucky enough to get one of the good attacking midfielders, but he can also fill in as a second striker, a player from France who while defending RB Leipzig, this is so complete to strengthen Chelsea's attack line.

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.

Right now, whatever we are hearing about Cristiano Ronaldo, are just rumors. There is no actual link between any club and him. One thing is that Cristiano Ronaldo has stated that he is not going to join Al Nassr. I think because he understands very well that it is going to basically be the end of his career. But I don’t know if waiting for the Champions League team is going to be the wisest decision right now. Because that could also mean the literal end of his career.

Leao is probably not going to stay. He is getting really good offers from other big clubs. I am not going to say anything negative about him if he wants to chase his dream. But Milan has resurrected a €70 million offer for him. I have no idea how much they are going to actually sell him.

Actually this will also happen to players who have experience, I mean even though players who already have minutes to play in the first team, it is not a guarantee that they will play well. Likewise with what Real Madrid is currently doing, they are trying to invest in players who are seen to have great potential in the future. That's why they tried to sign him early to monitor the progress of this player.

Chelsea is very lucky, because Manchester United actually wants my nkunku. because this news is already official, Manchester United must focus on bringing in Gakpo to MU because there are no other options

Gakpo himself is still 23 years old, so if MU manages to get him, it will be a long-term investment for MU

The gamble made by Real Madrid on untested young players can be profitable or vice versa. Real Madrid is trying to invest in young players who are still playing in the local league. So far, Real Madrid's scouts have been monitoring Endrick's development, they assess that Endrick has extraordinary talent. Endrick can be used as an investment for the future of Real Madrid, usually players from Brazil have good individual skills, it is impossible for Real Madrid to dare to spend money if there is nothing special about Endrick.

It looks like Ten Hag after the departure of Ronaldo found a new victim who will blame all the failures in the club - this is Sancho.
He sent him to train on an individual program, as Sancho's physical form is allegedly very bad and he needs a reboot. Maybe I'm wrong, but Ten Hag continues to inflame the situation in the team and it will end in a global conflict.

Still not okay with the treatment as I consider it not fair, could be for the player's benefits, we'll see how this separate training works with Sancho, if he improves or definitely get worst, that might see him leaving the club or sitting more on the bench.
Erik Ten Hag wanting Cody Gakpo send another message to my head, guess y'all know what that means for Sancho already, he's got nowhere in the starting eleven.

But if this works fir the growth and increase of Manchester United in the Premier League and Champions League football, I'm down backing and supporting the management with the action.

Maybe I'm biased towards Ten Hag, but it seems to me that in other clubs such issues are resolved in a less scandalous manner. If a player is recovering from an injury or needs to get back in shape for other reasons, then it happens in a routine manner. In the case of Ten Hag, this looks like a claim against the player and a "punishment" in the form of excommunication from the team. I don't think his style really suits United, maybe at Ajax you can be a "super cool macho coach" among young players, but at United where everyone thinks/is a star it won't do you any good.

I don't think you're biased towards Erik Ten Hag in the slightest way, but as far as that brings the best outta the player and brings positivity off and on the pitch I'm pleased because results is all that matters for Erik Ten Hag now.
I can recall vividly how Pep Guardiola came in to Manchester City sending some quality players away then, good example was Yaya Toure, was he biased ? No, I don't swing that way honestly.

Refusing to work with Cristiano Ronaldo alone should send all of those player's a clear message that they have got nothing to say whenever the manger decides. Like i said before, Erik Ten Hag needs to win something at least, results is all we want to see as United fans.

If this rumor turns out to be true then i think that FC Chelesa definitely made a great deal here. I watched a few of RB Leizpigs games in the last few years and in most of them Nkunku was the best player on the pitch there. He is incredibly fast has a great technique and he is also pretty effective with his chances. As far as i know one of the former managers of RB Leipzig has also joined FC Chelsea recently. So i can imagine that this also played a role if they have really managed to sign Nkunku already. His market value is at 80M€ so if they have really got him for 60 M€ then this is really a great deal for Chelsea.

According to rumors here and there, the Premier League teams are pushing for Amrabat from Fiorentina after the great world cup he played.

This guy was spectacular though but playing in Premier League is a whole different story. He might be great in World Cup but he might be motivated to play better because he is playing for his own country so imagine if he flops in EPL as before the World Cup, there isnt anything outstanding about him at all and he is just a completely decent player

Over the years we have seen both sides of the coin as the best players of the World Cup were sometimes performing really well in the leagues and also on the other side they performed poorly.

So far Sofyan Amrabat from Morocco has been playing exceptionally well in the World Cup. Morocco has so far upset Spain and Germany in this world cup and he played a key role in that. I think he deserves a chance to play in the big leagues like the EPL and I think only time will tell how he does in the league as we have seen that he is a really good physical player and the English Premier League is known to be a physical league.

[rahmad2nd]

Chelsea is very lucky, because Manchester United actually wants my nkunku. because this news is already official, Manchester United must focus on bringing in Gakpo to MU because there are no other options

Gakpo himself is still 23 years old, so if MU manages to get him, it will be a long-term investment for MU

Reportedly, Gakpo is waiting for a proposal from Real Madrid. So far, Man United has no certainty regarding Cody Gakpo in the upcoming January transfer window. Even so, new rumors report that, Erik Ten Hag has asked Manchester United to prepare a budget of 200 million euros to spend in the January 2023 transfer window. One of their main targets is Cody Gakpo, Christian Pulisic and Goncalo Ramos who have a position as a center forward. Several other rumors also suggest that Ten Hag is interested in Youssoufa Maukoko amidst his contract woes with Borussia Dortmund, claims well-known journalist Florian Plettenberg.

Although there was no official confirmation, either from Ten Hag or Manchester United. even so, Manchester United insisted that they were serious enough to participate in competing at the top level of the Premier League. I'm quite sure of Ten Hag, at least he has a track record as a coach who is able to bring Manchester United much better.
