⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[arimamib]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The essence of the word cup to players is that it gives them the playground to showcase their  talent  it gives them the enablement to prove to the world that they can do it that is why every player struggles to be in the World Cup and especially the ones that you are under performing or playing in their local leagues.
So let us stop being sceptical when what cup has given us a couple of good players and Amarabat is among them, it is good and he cannot drop form unless a very bad coach handles him differently

Have reach agreement deal with Christopher Nkunku for joining with Chelsea, but he will move and play for Chelsea at next season or in July 2023. Great transfer made by Graham Potter because Christopher Nkunku best forward and have impressive performance in Leipzig last two season. Chelsea have to pay about 60 million euros for signing Christopher Nkunku and I don't think with expensive values after having good statistic in this season, last 15 matches in Bundesliga, Christopher Nkunku scored 12 goals and seems most productive as center forward.

I am little disappointed with Christopher Nkunku transfer because his ability for Chelsea player in next season, actually Chelsea have inconsistency performance in this season and drop from top fourth standing position, they need new center forward can help them reach UCL position zone.

United is again planning to buy new players. Frenkie de Jong would also still be high on the list of the Manchester team. However, Messi wants de Jong to be brought to PSG. What is the weight of the best player in the world? When Messi wants something, it is often met by the team leadership and management. United is aiming for Gakpo, but it now seems that the clubs have a choice. Gakpo really needs to think carefully about whether he wants to go on an adventure in England.

I haven't heard that Messi wants Paris Saint Germain's management to bring in Frenkie de Jong. I also don't feel that Messi has that much influence for the management always doing what he wants. Also I don't think that barcelona will let go of Frenkie de Jong because this player is the one that makes them play well. In the transfer market last summer, Frenkie de Jong became a player who was in great demand, but Barcelona firmly did not want to release Frenkie de Jong to any team.

I think it's lot more complicated than that. Nkunku is a crucial player for Leipzig and they need him this season. Also lot of clubs have him on the list so lot of clubs would have been in race for Nkunku in next transfer window so Chelsea just booked him for next season. Nothing to disappoint there. I think they can still work out well with what they have got this season.

Yes Balde contract extension is close with Barca and is gonna be a long term one with a release clause: https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1603745991307702273 . Club has option to extend his contract to one more year so not 100% sure if he is gonna leave. He is a crucial player for United and I think they will exercise this option. I think couple of weeks ago I read about him and Rashford's contract abotu to expire situation and in both the cases United have the option so not much of a worrying sign for the club as long as player wants to continue.

Thus Manchester United's desire to bring Alejandro Balde to Old Trafford is no longer possible, because the clause offered by Barcelona is in the form of a five-year contract extension, this is in line with the long-term project being developed by Xavi.

From my monitoring in various online media, Luke Shaw has also been offered by Manchester United for a new contract, but until now Manchester United has not discussed further about the contract extension for how many years. Luke Shaw's performances have been increasingly impressive in recent years and have become one of the best players in defense, making Manchester United take steps not to let go of the player.

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.

Barcelona has offered Alejandro Balde a five-year contract extension, as we have seen from Fabrizio Romano's reports on his Twitter account https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1603745991307702273. So that Manchester United's chances of getting the player have been closed.

Alejandro Balde has the same vision as the coach on a long-term project, so staying at Barcelona is the right step for the player, considering he is still young and has the opportunity to become a great player in the future. After all, Barcelona is also a place that has a vision to play and can help Alejandro Balde further develop into one of the mainstay defenders of his club and country in the future.

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.

Yes, I also agree with @Raflesia, that Manchester City have a really talented and well-rounded squad right now. In the attic, they have the lethal Erling Haaland as well as Julian Alvarez as his backup.

In recent times, we have seen that Álvarez has been playing really well with Argentina in the World Cup. Moreover, I think they have a really solid midfield composition consisting of Kevin De Bruyne, Rodri, Phil Foden, and Bernardo Silva. I think their backline also seems ok.

Overall I do not think they need to invest in a player right now. I think what they can do is they can buy younger talent so they can nourish them for the future.

Luke Shaw's performances have been increasingly impressive in recent years and have become one of the best players in defense, making Manchester United take steps not to let go of the player.

Yeah he is not gonna move away from United. He knows he is playing for a great club and with a good history too. United and ten Haag also need him right now so I think sooner or later before the contract expiry of course he will sign the contract extension. I don't know when Luke Shaw last signed the contract but right now United need a strong player in that Left-back position and he is the best option United has currently and United wouldn't want to lose him before the next season.

[coin.princess]

Many see MCGuire as a bad player for United, but he is in the starting line-up of the England national team. He receives a lot of criticism, but no offer is ever made for him. He is one of the most expensive defenders in the world. I think with a transfer fee of around 90 million euros. Even more than Virgil van Dijk. Nowhere in the world is more money involved than in the EPL. In Germany you also have a lot of television money, but the wealthy owners of the clubs are in England and I expect several transfers at Newcastle.

[darxiaomi]

I bring to your the most important transfer in this or the next window, if Argentina becomes World Champion Messi returns to Newells Old Boys , in the Argentinian league.

This its pure info not speculation. Aguero filter it and most of the press here know this can happen. It can be a little b it complicated but this its the Messi desire.



His first and only team what he is fan.

Balance in a club will be very important, they cannot rely on just one player, if that's the case then be prepared for the decline they will experience. Manchester City is now in a condition where the players are playing optimally and the chemistry between them has also been formed, they just need to maintain and further improve what they have shown at this time. Currently, Erling Haaland has undoubtedly become a goal machine for Manchester City, but he did not get it on his own, in the sense that other players also played a big role in his success so far.
They have an extraordinary coach, so we can see that Manchester City is very solid, the players they have are also very promising. Something that is continuous with one another.

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 a really important player for Arsenal indeed. His contribution level to the team is increasing by every season. He is a player who has grown from Arsenal youth as well so this would be enough for indicating how crucial player he is for the team. His current market value has already reached 90 million euros. It is a quite high number for a 21-year-old player.

Arsenal will need to start negotiations with him for a contract extension after hearing about these rumours. Maybe Manchester City wouldn't rush anything in January but in next summer things might get interesting. Saka's current contract ends in the summer of 2024 by the way. It is a quite near date for a star like him.

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.

Sooner or later something like this will happen regardless of anything. Nkunku has indeed been rumored with Chelsea for a while now and now it looks like they got the right deal.
This is a good hope because Nkunku is actually playing quite well at Leipzig. I hope he can give a good performance as expected.

[beerlover]

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.

I feel like buying a player just after a world cup because of a few good games is not a good idea. Look at James Rodriguez, dude got to Real Madrid with just one superb world cup tournament but we have not seen him do well at all after that.

It could be said that Goncalo played a great world cup as well but we have seen him play in 5 games, and that is not enough to just buy a player. United needs someone who has been consistently great, plus if they are going to pay that much money then it would be smarter to get someone who has proven themselves in premier league before. I think it would be smart to look for someone who is 28 or older and just get a free agent instead.
