⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

Interestingly Manchester United also have started to be interested in Emiliano Martinez recently.

I wonder whether this is related to the De Gea situation in the team now. Because his future at the team is still ambiguous now. He is about to have only six months left on his contract and there is still no agreement between two sides yet. I think De Gea would like to stay now. Many years ago, he was ready to sign for Real Madrid but that time is long gone. They have Courtois now and they are contented with his performance also. I don't see De Gea joining a bigger team these days.

I wonder if Manchester United are really thinking of replacing him with Martinez depending on the credibility of this news. Because Martinez is not a goalkeeper who should be among the substitutes.

Honestly, Tottenham and Atletico Madrid and other clubs might be interested in the acquiring the services of Alexis Mac Allister but I’m not sure of Arsenal. Arsenal are looking to strengthen the Defensive part of the midfield and find a solution to Gabriel Jesus injury by bringing in a new striker in January. That has been their priority considering the position they’re in. Mac Allister is a Box-to-Box midfielder and they have that in Xhaka and I don’t think Arteta will splash any cash in bringing in another midfielder in January if not a defensive midfielder to second Thomas Partey.

When I read about this deal I mean Arsenal going for Mac Allister I thought to myself asking if this could be true and IMHO I think it will be a good deal if Arsenal can secure this one because at this point we really need to strengthen some positions at the back and in midfield which Mac Allister, Gabriel jesus also picking up an injury in the world also means Arteta needs to get a striker.

According to several rumors that came out today Real Madrid is interested in Locatelli if they cannot sign Bellingham.

Not a bad choice given the thing that they do need a defensive midfielder after Casemiro's departure. They need new generation midfield and I think Locatelli is a decent choice a midfielder. Well Bellingham obviously should be the real target though. He is too good to let go but the question is there are lot of clubs in the race and that might lead to clubs going big for him right from the start. Will Madrid go that big and also beat Liverpool who are looking for a strong midfield and are very much interested in Bellingham? I have slight doubt
 about that.

In the local media almost all reported that Madrid would bring in Bellingham the reason is because Bellingham is not yet interested in playing in the Premier League so it is likely he will choose Real Madrid, about the price rumors will be more than 100 million   fantastic price for a young player.

Now the situation has reversed after a few days before Liverpool, which was the favorite to bring Bellingham, now it's back, this has turned to Madrid.
Madrid's current condition is actually still possible but 100 million even though they can afford it, but surely they will think more about this, especially since they have brought Endrick at a high price before.
However, if Perez wants to, I think it will be easy for Madrid.

Al Nassr have Cristiano Ronaldo on their rader and they're aiming to pull up a big move for the Portugal international. Al Nassr targets €200m/yearly. Ronaldo have not made any decision on the club he wants to play for, but his agent hoping to get an european club but with the look of things, he have many things going through his mind but sooner or later, he will make his decision on the club he want.As things stands now,he is no longer in good terms with Manchester United and wants to leave the club despite the fact that the club is his boyhood club.He may find it ok to secure a move elsewhere.

CR7 aren't in good terms with ManU? In fact they are separated and CR7 is free to join any team he wants. The contract between them is over.
Back to Al Nassr deal. Saudis want to sign him not only for a contract of 2 seasons and a half but also to be their ambassador to help them organising World Cup in the future and this up to 2030! A good reward for him and an opportunity for them to push things to try to beat Qatar for their extraordinary World Cup 2022

After it continues to look like Benjamin Pavard will leave FC Bayern in the summer, FC Bayern is still looking for a new right-back. Here, 19-year-old Malo Gusto from Olympic Lyon could be a promising player who has attracted the interest of FC Bayern. The 19-year-old has a market value of €15m and would therefore fit in well with FC Bayern's target list.

IMHO a good player who could certainly help FC Bayern in the coming years. I hope that the Pavard issue can be resolved quickly so that a replacement for his position can be found quickly. If they will sign Gusto in the end, I would be fine with that. Let's see...

Surprised, Al-Nassr sign deal with CR7 for 7 years as their Ambassador, and deal as their players. As we know, he is linked with Al-Nassr last few week, we are thinking he wouldn't accept this offer, since he wants UCL trophy again. But, in the end, Ronaldo move from europe, since no club able to sign him, the contract till 2030 as ambassador and he have a special task from Al-Nassr to help Saudi Arabia to host World Cup 2030.

It is not surprising if Ronaldo finally agrees to sign a contract with Al-Nassr. There is no serious offer from a top club in the popular leagues in Europe, while Al-Nassr made a very interesting offer to Ronaldo. Ronaldo can't wait a long time, he will be 38 years old next year. If he fails to get a club in the next season, he may end up with early retirement. So, it is a smart decision to accept the offer from Al-Nassr, he can play as a player and as an ambassador too. Well, not a bad idea, it is much better than he won't play at any club next season.

Bayern Munich is looking for their future player that can cover that position for a long period of time. Bayern always get projects like this and just implements them into their squad. But still a wierd move from Bayern to sell Pavard that is a really good player

I wonder if Manchester United are really thinking of replacing him with Martinez depending on the credibility of this news. Because Martinez is not a goalkeeper who should be among the substitutes.

Exactly the point, with Martinez' heroics in the WC, he would definitely be sought after by quite a lot of clubs, thus he would choose the team that is big and will give him the most playing time. If Manchester United are interested in him, they have to make some assurances to him in order to convince the Argentine to move to Old Trafford, either a promise that they aren't extending De Gea's contract and Martinez would be the main keeper afterwards, or that they are buying him now and outrightly replacing the Spanish goalkeeper for him. I don't think Martinez would go to a team that he will rarely play, he'd rather wait for interest from another good team.

[Velvet78]

It is good for the Red Devils to think of securing their goal for long years with a younger and skillful goalkeeper. However I'm not sure if this should be their priority these days. I think they should focus on improving their performance in offense. This could be done by signing an attacking player or a striker directly. But I don't know if they can do this in January.

Or they just need to keep Rashford and Martial productive regularly somehow. Rashford has a bigger potential than Martial for that as we witnessed it at the beginning of the season. He lacks consistency but he is still young. He can make up for that in time.

Martinez already said after the world cup ended that he want to move to one of the elite teams of the world. But with how good he played i think the fee for him will be to large and i dont know what team would spend 80+ mil for a goalkeeper . Where ever he moves it will be a record goalkeeper transfer.

He is right!!!
Emiliano Martínez had a phenomenal cup, so there is a very high price to pay for anyone who wants to have the best goalkeeper in the world cup in their squad.

We must remember that in the grand final of the tournament, against France, in addition to Emiliano being the highlight in the penalty shootout, he also made a miraculous save in the last bid of extra time, which could have eliminated Argentina's chances of lifting the cup.

What Emiliano did is as important as a goal in the last minutes of a decisive match. So I ask you? Why does a goalkeeper need to earn less than a striker?
What's the difference between scoring a decisive goal and preventing it?

My three favorite players right now are Ronaldo, Messi and Mbappe.
For Ronaldo, his transfer to the Arab side Riyadh where Al Nassr club is located, came after his fall out with Manchester United and everyone knows it is a money move into retirement. Whether he will stay can only be confirmed later as we wait.
Messi right now is contented at PSG. After all, he is playing in the champions league and they still have the chance of clenching the title. His move back to Barcelona or inter Milan is but a mere speculation until confirmed from true sources.
The only person I see that might leave if the price is right is Mbappe. He is the youngest of the trio and with a lot of potential to display. Although I feel he would stay to battle it out with his team mates at PSG this season, I can't say if he would love to stay in coming season. He has to win awards and titles, otherwise, in two or three years, he might have a competition who is more hungry than him and with a lot of potentials too.

I really do not know in which way the career of Cristiano Ronaldo is headed. He is not being able to find any team. At least not in a team that is playing in the Champions League, which he wants. He is being offered a lot of money but he does not want money. He wants respect and finishes his career with a bang. He is obviously not able to do that.

Lionel Messi is still performing well. He has just won the World Cup for his national team. Obviously, this is the biggest achievement of his life. At least especially at this stage of his career. he is going to stay in PSG.

Mbappe is one who has a long future ahead of him. Already a lot of people are saying that he is staying in PSG just because of Money. And that is actually true. If he actually was that much interested in his career, he would have already moved to Real Madrid or any other club that has good competition in the league.

He was fantastic at the world cup and was the sole reason Argentina won. Every club wants a top goalkeeper in their team, but no one will pay £80 for one. His last-minute save was classic. I hope the goalkeeper finds a top  club that will sign him during the upcoming transfer window, regardless of how excellent he is. To demonstrate his class, he must keep in a competitive club

[RealMalatesta]

Alexis Mac Allister is targeted by Arsenal and Atletico Madrid now. His World Cup performance at Argentina was really impressive and it is a big help for him to find bigger teams for himself. He was one of the attention getting players of the team during the World Cup. His performance at Brighton is already fascinating so far in the Premier League.

There are five clubs in total who have been interested with him and these clubs are arsenal, totenham, MU, atletico madrid and Intermilan. These clubs were still monitoring him but some clubs were leading the way to get him from brighton. Brighton itself has not yet said anything about whether brighton wanna try to let him go with 32 million euros or brighton has another opinion to increase his value since there are so many clubs who interested with him.

This World Cup performance should surely increase his value from now on. His value is 32 million euros for now but I'm sure Brighton would demand much more than this. If Arsenal and Atletico Madrid both make an offer maybe his choice would be to stay in this league.

I hope that he will be leaving from brighton caused by he can get better experience one he will be deciding to join in a bigger club than stay in brighton.

I feel like 30+ million would be more than enough for brighton, that's a big enough amount that they could get at least 5 players from 6 million each. I am not saying that's what they will do, they could get 2 players for 15 million each all I care but brighton is not the type of team that spends a ton of money on players, so it would be a lot of money for them if they could sell him for another over 30.

Obviously it should be open field, like whoever bids highest should get him, no idea if he has release clause, but if he doesn't then it shouldn't be Brighton deciding how much he should go, but the open market of auction style bidding should dictate his value.

[Ayers]

I want to talk about Mbappe because after what he achieved in the World Cup he is improving again so the solution to develop his potential is to enter the Europa League area. As I see it, Wayne Rooney says he would not mind seeing Mbappe at Real Madrid or a Premier League club due to his young age he needs to increase his chances and experience. Mbappe shouldn't be too comfortable with all of PSG offers. His career is still quite bright in times like these.
what do you think?

There have been many former football players who have said that about Mbappe but it seems that he is already comfortable at PSG plus that with a pretty good offer at this time he is still easy enough to continue fighting with PSG to get the UCL trophy he wants to achieve but after a few seasons maybe he can consider moving to another league to try even better potential, it's just that right now Mbappe is still very comfortable at PSG with some of his best players namely Neymar and Messi in it.
Another PSG will also extend Messi's contract, but Messi is very happy with the offer.

The problem is Mbappe is not going to be able to build up his legacy if he stays in PSG. Now, if he wants to stay at PSG, it is absolutely fine. But the problem is, there is a reason why Ligue-1 is called the Farmers League he is just forming trophies and goals at this point in the club. He’s not doing anything else. If he was able to win the Champions League consistently with PSG, we could have said that the team is actually good and probably he is achieving something. But right now, the only thing he is going to be able to achieve is the Ligue-1 title. Which is obviously not any kind of big achievement for a team like PSG.

[rendravolt]

According to several rumors that came out today Real Madrid is interested in Locatelli if they cannot sign Bellingham.

In my opinion, bringing in Locatelli as an alternative if Real Madrid cannot get Beellingham is a wise decision, considering that there is currently no player who will replace the role of Luka Modric, who is 37 years old and Manuel Locatteli is still quite young at 25 years old, so the future his future will be bright if he can join the Los Blancos squad.

[X-ray]

Al Nassr have Cristiano Ronaldo on their rader and they're aiming to pull up a big move for the Portugal international. Al Nassr targets €200m/yearly. Ronaldo have not made any decision on the club he wants to play for, but his agent hoping to get an european club but with the look of things, he have many things going through his mind but sooner or later, he will make his decision on the club he want.As things stands now,he is no longer in good terms with Manchester United and wants to leave the club despite the fact that the club is his boyhood club.He may find it ok to secure a move elsewhere.

I thought that if he will be announcing his decision during the transfer season. I meant look at there was another possibility for ronaldo will be moving to the inter miami. Messi was also trying to help him by try to give him a club that might become a new club for him.
Inter miami has become another potential club for ronaldo other than al nassr but i think that al nassr has become the possible club for ronaldo right now caused by it has been offering him a very big salary for 7 years contract.
I hope that ronaldo will try to decide which club that will become his next club. That will be far better for him.

[blue Snow]

The speculation of Ronaldo moving to the Al-Nasr club makes me confusion because the club makes offers for 7 years contract which I thing like Impossible when we look the Ronaldo's age is 37 years old now. So when 7 years from now, Ronaldo will retire from football at 44 years old. So, is that not age not very vulnerable for a football player?, he is an attacker, where there will be a lot of movement to the opponent's area to get a ball. It will different when Ronaldo as goal keeper like Buffon, where just be quiet around the goalpost.

I hope Ronaldo just retired now, and He just doesn't move to any club as a player. He has a lot of money, If I were him, I will buy a football club like Beckham and be the boss or CEO.

Signing Ronaldo is not only about performance they know there are other potentials that can make a profit
We can be sure that if Ronaldo joins, they will get a lot of sponsors and sponsorship costs are of course more expensive
Besides that, of course there will be more benefits that have been calculated.
