⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Razmirraz]

The problem is that wages are not Cristiano Ronaldo's only goal, he still has the ambition to play in a popular and competitive league. If Cristiano Ronaldo's main goal is money, then he will accept the offer that Al Nassr put forward a long time ago. Until now he has not responded to the offer made by Al Nassr to him, meaning that there is hope that he will likely join the Arab League team, but he is still waiting for teams that are competing in Europe and will soon make his choice.

Ronaldo heart is for the Europa League but if he officially plays at Al Nassr I'm not sure he will play with all his heart. Although there is still no final chance from Ronaldo, it is possible that there is no choice if there is no confirmation from European clubs in early January. It's hard to force it at an age that is no longer young and the desire to play on the European stage makes Ronaldo's situation a dilemma. It's quite surprising that his ambition still can't be fulfilled or it's true that ambition has no end. Ronaldo just needs to make peace with his current condition and let newcomers continue his heyday.

Ronaldo will put his ambitions first rather than becoming the highest-paid player in the Arab League. Ronaldo still really wants to continue his career on the European continent, he has ambitions to continue playing in the Champions League and win trophies at the end of his career. Ronaldo needs a club that gives him confidence to keep up his form, he still wants to defend Portugal at Euro 2024 before ending his career at international level.

Several players who shone in the 2022 world cup received a significant increase in their market value and these players have become targets for several strong European teams. The most highlighted transfer targets lately are Enzo Fernandez and Cody Gakpo, who do you think are the other players who will leave their club in the next season's transfer market?

[Masplanc]

I am hearing that Cristiano Ronaldo is thinking about accepting the offer from Al Nassr.

https://www.sport.es/en/news/futbol-internacional/cristiano-ronaldo-in-saudi-arabia-to-sign-bumper-deal-with-al-nassr-80291229
This is the news from two days ago. I have not heard anything else about this matter. I have also not seen Fabrizio Romano tweet anything about this.
So, I am certainly not sure about if this is actually true or not. I am going to wait for any official confirmation or at least I need to eat from Fabrizio Romano.

Actually, this news was not very convincing to me... Cristiano Ronaldo definitely wants to play in the champions league and in a team that aims for the league title. We know that's why he left Manchester United. I think he will not be transferred to the Arab Leagues, but if the offers he wants from Europe do not come to him, he may have to go there. In fact, that's why the World Cup was so important to him. If Portugal had won the World Cup under his leadership, we would not see any of these debates now. Ronaldo is a great football player and I think he is still the best in the world but he has failed in his career planning.

I have also noticed that everywhere he was saying he has enough money. So he wants to go to a team with which he will be able to fulfill his expectations. And we also know that he has enough money. It is the legacy that he is after right now. But I don’t know how can he get what he wants unless he can get a team that will get him back in the competitive top-level scene again. And I think he is expecting to wait for six months and probably he’s also expecting that after that. Probably some teams will be interested in him. But I don’t know if that is going to be the case. If he doesn’t play for such a long period of time, it is only going to reduce his value.

No reliable sport has said anything about Ronaldo and his Saudi Arabia deal. I think news that are flying all over are not true , it is just a rumour. It is not just about the money, Ronaldo going to Saudi Arabia will reduce is value.  Someone like Ronaldo is supposed to play and retire in a club that will add more value to his career.

Saturday's transfer gossip:

Manchester City are determined to win the fight for Borussia Dortmund's Jude Bellingham and believe the England midfielder, 19, will turn down a £100m transfer to Real Madrid or Liverpool to work with City coach Pep Guardiola. So it looks like another win for Manchester over Liverpool and Dortmund sends a great footballer to Manchester again.
Manchester United have opened talks with PSV Eindhoven about signing the Netherlands winger Cody Gakpo. Gakpo was excellent at the World Cup in Qatar and would be a great reinforcement to Manchester United.
Al-Nassr are hopeful they will complete the signing of Portugal forward and free agent Cristiano Ronaldo, 37, before the January transfer window opens. Are we looking at the most expensive football pension in history?
Manchester United believe they have a chance of finally signing Frenkie de Jong in the summer, but feel Barcelona are trying to increase his value by saying the Netherlands midfielder, 25, is not for sale. Will the clubs come to an agreement in the end? This de Jong saga is going on too long?

It does not look like a win, but like flooding the entire clearing with money. Financial Fairplay has never really worked and with recent changes, it can be said to have stopped working altogether. Sooner or later, this will lead to a deep crisis when even some of the top clubs (which do honest business and do not use the oil money of the sheikhs) will not be able to make ends meet.

Ronaldo will put his ambitions first rather than becoming the highest-paid player in the Arab League. Ronaldo still really wants to continue his career on the European continent, he has ambitions to continue playing in the Champions League and win trophies at the end of his career. Ronaldo needs a club that gives him confidence to keep up his form, he still wants to defend Portugal at Euro 2024 before ending his career at international level.

I think Ronaldo will try to stay in Europe and play another Champions League, like you said, until 2024 to play Euro, after that I believe he can play in another league, like Arab or even MLS in USA.
After that is only to make money and to sell merchandise to club.
I don't think he's ready to play outside Europe yet, because it's the same as say goodbye to high level football and competitions.

In my opinion he have all conditions to play in high level, not in Real / Barcelona / City / Man. U anymore because these teams already have their prefered players and there's no space for him.
Portugal in my opinion could be a good choice, a reasonable national championship, a good chance to play another Champions League.

Edit: people are talking about Bayer. I don't know if this is true, but Bayer is a great chance to not only play another champions league, but a real chance to be champion again.

if Barca can't afford to pay Messi as well as PSG, I think it's a good decision for Messi to stay at PSG. after all, it would be enough to drain Barca's finances to return Messi to Barca. who might be more considered to get young players or buy defenders who are now Barca's weakness. after all, Barca already has Lewandowski up front.

[Minecache]

Basking from the euphoria of winning the World Cup Messi had agreed a contract extension with PSG, this news had put to an end the speculation that Laporta wanted to lure him back to Barcelona after his present contract expires in 2023, Messi is expected to sign a one year contract extension with his present club, I think PSG will never let him go now as the club is desperately and battling to win the coveted UCL this season and from every indication Messi had settled down in Paris and hopefully with the arrival of Neymar and Mbappe back the team all is now set for UCL matches coming up next February.

If Lionel Messi has any self-respect, he’s not going to go back to Barcelona. I remember he even agreed to play for half of the salary that he was getting at that time just to stay in Barcelona. But even that was not possible. And why Lionel Messi is going to go back to Barcelona for some extra competition when he is finding it easy to stay in PSG and winning the Ligue 1 title?

At first, we were talking about Cristiano Ronaldo versus Lionel Messi. After that now we are talking about Mbappé versus Lionel Messi. This guy is still playing like he is in his prime even when he is 35 years old

The management of Manchester United and Erik Ten Hag are more focused on extending the contracts of other players, while David De Gea has not been discussed in this regard, but there is a possibility that Erik Ten Hag does not want to extend the contract again and is more looking for other players as a replacement indeed, David De Gea's performance has always been going up and down and sometimes making more mistakes from his blunders doesn't make him the one who will last a long time with Manchester United, and it's true that this is still an evaluation material going forward by spending the rest of the season now maybe Ten Hag will see De Gea's performance again going forward his.

Manchester United have made a one-year automatic contract extension with four other players, including Marcus Rashford, Luke Shaw, Diogo Dalot and Fred, while David De Gea has not yet made a decision on whether to extend or be released in this season's transfer market. Some of the media that I tried to explore, David Dea Gea has the potential to be extended for another year as contained in the previous contract. However, this decision is still being considered by Erik Ten Hak.

Manchester United's management fully trusts the coach in making decisions on David De Gea's contract, but it seems that the goalkeeper is still needed by the coach, considering that there has not been a suitable replacement for Manchester United in the second half of the season.

Right now Erik ten Hag is doing good decisions which will be helpful for Manchester United in long run because right now they are increasing quality and performance and for having better results surely they need to adopt few bold decisions with this most chances Manchester United management will not give any new contract to David De Gea, and he will be going to end his good career after end of this 2023.

Too many options available right now with few quality goalkeepers are performing good and many will be feeling proud if they will join this legit English club in near future after decision of Cristiano Ronaldo now look like management is having good faith in Erik ten Hag for having good results in near future.

Until now there has been no sign that Manchester United have managed to reach an agreement with Diogo Costa, Jordan Pickford, and most recently Croatian goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic who performed well at the World Cup. So that anticipatory steps must be taken to extend a one-year contract with David de Gea, this is the most likely step taken by Manchester United management.

Other good news Erik Ten Hak has the possibility of keeping David De Gea for one more season, because at the end of the first half of the season the goalkeeper's performance has improved and shown his best quality in making saves.

he will be too old, look at Ronaldo situation with Manchester United.
He can't come back and pretend to be a 1st choiche player.

Ronaldo was 37 years old while messi was 35 years old and so a few years in PSG will be good enough rather than going out. Ronaldo got terminated from MU caused by his problem while messi has no problem with PSG and that might be the different from both of players. I think that you can't compare the situation that happened with messi to the ronaldo. Both have been facing different reality

There is no way this will happen. As a result of the club's debt, the president of Barcelona is not sure he has the funds to sign him back. That's something we should get used to. It is certain that he will stay with PSG for one more year. A contract extension was just signed at PSG, wasn't it? It's a simple YES!
It might be true, but Messi's agreement is another matter. Yes, I'd like to see him return.

For sure PSG has offered better for Messi to stay and an extension of the year option has reached an agreement according to rumors, Barcelona's finances will be difficult if they bring Messi there but I saw the statement of Joan Laporta wanting him back but that's how it is if you have to let Messi go back because of problems finances that will be faced later.
PSG already have big ambitions for the Champions League so he will try to keep Messi at his club.

That was already announced by Erik Ten Hag. I saw from Fabrizio's confirmation of their contract extension, so it's confirmed that Manchester United still have players who will last for the next few seasons, it's just that De Gea is another reason why they weren't accompanied by that player, but it's clear Erik Ten Hag has another reason behind it all.

Maybe there will be other changes after this season ends and Ten Hag can talk to De Gea about his future, but there is also the possibility of using the 1 year option to be extended because that is also the best hope for Dea Gea to stay at Manchester United.

The news that Messi wants to stay at PSG has disappointed Messi fans in Barcelona. They really want to see Messi return to playing for Barcelona after successfully bringing Argentina to win the World Cup.

Actually from the start I was pretty sure that Lionel Messi would prefer to stay and play for Paris Saint Germain rather than return to Barcelona. It seems we already know the reason, yes one of the reasons is that barcelona's finances have not been stable so far, so I doubt Barcelona will be able to bring their star back. Even if they could, it would be a huge drain on their finances. What's more, don't get your hopes up on just one player, moreover, soon Messi will also stop because of his age.

Chelsea have started their Declan Rice chase again.

They are said to be the closest team to sign him now. However I don't expect him to join Chelsea in January on one hand. West Ham wouldn't like to lose one of their most valuable players in the middle of the season. For Rice, I don't think so.    Because he must be quite frustrated about the place of his team in the standings currently. He must be wishing to leave for playing a bigger team at the earliest opportunity. Manchester United could have signed him in the previous transfer window but they failed in the last moment. It would be a big hit to them now if Chelsea finish this deal.

Another advantage for Benfica is that this player is now in demand by more than 1 big club, so with conditions like this, they will definitely insist on holding that price no matter what, especially fans of Enzo now are not an ordinary team because rumors are now not only Liverpool but Manchester City. , Madrid and Even PSG reportedly want to bring in this young player which makes this a blessing in itself for them.

That way, some of these clubs don't hesitate to spend up to 120 million euros on just one player, indeed this seems like a waste of money, but Enzo Fernandez is one of the players who has succeeded in bringing Argentina to win the 2022 WC. Apart from that, his role at Benfica is quite enough good and together with his colleagues at Benfica are able to be in 1st place in the Primeira league for now.

This is the main point because indeed in any case when there is more demand then the price will also be very high and of course they will not lower 120 million as long as the demand for Enzo is still very large but if indeed there will be several clubs withdrawing this possibility will be slightly reduced because I don't think for Benfica it is impossible to keep this player there for too long and I still feel that he will go on a transfer this time around.

The services of an Enzo Fernandez are urgently needed to strengthen the midfield of a strong European team, so it's only natural that Benfica charges such an expensive price. The two parties who benefit are of course Benfica and Enzo Fernandez, Benfina earns a profit on sales while Enzo can play for great European clubs and has more chances to win prestigious titles, including winning the Champions League.

I was thinking Chelsea will fight back to gain a position in the top by the second half of the season, but it saddens my heart that their second hope for a central attack; Armando Brodja will be out of the remaining half of the 2022/2023 season due to an ACL injury. Aubameyang is not as productive as expected and this has become a very big challenge for Graham potter's side. I Just pray he succeeds in bringing in David Fofana.

If I were Messi I will not try it for any reason. I don't actually know the real or actual circumstances that surrounded Messi's Barcelona exit but him returning to Barcelona at this time is too risky.
He should learn from Ronaldo mistake.
Meanwhile Messi has won all he needed to win in football, he should not be under pressure to impress anyone. He should remain in PSG and enjoy football and also enjoy his money and also enjoy his old age.

And why Lionel Messi is going to go back to Barcelona for some extra competition when he is finding it easy to stay in PSG and winning the Ligue 1 title?

If Messi returns to the Spanish League, he will have to compete with Real Madrid. He has no such problem in France. I totally agree with this thought. He should stay in France and continue to win trophies more easily. If he comes back to Spain, he can make Barcelona top of the league again. I have no doubt about it. But now he is 35 years old. It would be a better choice for his career to compete in more comfortable areas. I don't find it right that he left Paris Saint-Germain FC. I do not consider such a transfer possible. Also, we haven't read any news that Messi is unhappy at Paris Saint-Germain FC. In my opinion, this is the most important indicator.
