⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

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.

It looks like Barcelona must bury its desire to bring Messi back to La Liga, Liputan6.com reports that Messi has reached an agreement with PSG for a contract extension, this agreement will make Messi stay at PSG until 2024.
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.

It was never realistic that Messi would come back to FC Barcelona in the first place. Everyone that thought that this would happen was either a small child or very naive. Messi is the reason why Barca is now almost bankrupt and has debts of more than 1 Billion €. They paid Messi more than 110 M€ per season and then when Covid happened the whole fragile financial construct of FC Barcelona completely fell apart and they simply could not afford to pay Messi anymore.
Barca had to sell a lot of club property in order to not go bankrupt but instead of using that money completely to pay back debts they used big parts of it to buy new players again. The officials of Barca never learn and the fans that are still asking for new and bigger transfers are totally stupid in my opinion. If Barca continues to operate like this, then they will be completely bankrupt very soon.

Selling Lionel Messi to Paris Saint Germain, one of which was their poor financial factor at the time, and even now they still have the same problems. Barcelona wanting Lionel Messi back was something to be forced into because it would give them new problems for their finances.

I also feel that he doesn't have to think about anything else now, he has won all the prestigious trophies. Now he just needs to enjoy the rest of his career and play comfortably at Paris Saint Germain. Maybe this is also what Lionel Messi thought when he extended his contract with Paris Saint Germain.

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.

David Fofana to Chelsea is a done deal and he seems to be moving to Blues after having good season at Molde. Good signing but still I wouldn't call him a smart signing yet. It's sad to see Broja out for the season though. I hope he recovers soon and makes some good performances after he recover. Fofana is a young striker with potential but there will be lot of pressure on him and it's important to handle it calmly and also for manager to guide him well to adjust quickly to his role and tactics.

Chelsea have started their Declan Rice chase again.

I can actually see this rumour having legs. Rice is a close friend of Mason Mount, this move would make sense for both Chelsea & West Ham. Rice is a top player & he would command a big transfer fee. West Ham would take a fee of over £70,000,000 I think. It’s that kind of figure that I think would be required to facilitate this move.

I’d love Rice at Liverpool but I think he’s a London boy & is probably now ready for the next level in his career. Chelsea can provide Rice with a platform to show how good he is.

Chelsea have started their Declan Rice chase again.

I do not think that it is possible in the winter window. He is currently the most important player in West Ham United team. He is also one of the best defensive midfielder in the world presently. No team will let their best players leave in January. This looks to me like a deal that will be successful in the summer.

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

Ronaldo is going for 38, Messi is going for 36.

We are talking about a possible new adventure for Messi in Barcelona after the end of his contract with PSG which has just been renewed for a further year.

So we're talking about a Messi 2 in Barcelona at the age of 37 who will turn 38 in the season.

Good thing they are having all their injury challenges now before the January transfers begin proper, It gives the Chelsea coach an idea of the major places in his team that he needs to strengthen. Chelsea have not been very good as before this season, if they are to be better this remaining half of the season both in the English Premier League and Champions League, and to be contenders for the league title next season they have to get their act together. Injury to Reece James posed challenges to them, the coach has to be prepared for a situation if he gets injured again.

Declan Rice is one of the keyplayer in West Ham and the coach can't afford to lose him, not when they're in the mid-season. It's mandatory for EPL clubs to keep hold of their keyplayers inother not to lose them to their opposition in the coming January transfer. Blues have been on on a long run for this player and with the looks of things, he's not coming to the team this summer. Graham Potter should focus on another players, after all there are many quality players in the market which will serve a very important role under the head coach.

I read some news about Rafael Leao where he seems to be leaving Ac milan in the transfer window this season because some news sources say that he is interested in arsenal playing, is that a signal that he will join arsenal even though from arsenal it seems they are not chasing leao in the window  transfers this season.
indeed he has performed quite well with ac milan this season, Leao often scores goals to help ac milan win where in 14 matches he has contributed 6 goals and scored 4 assists. Ac milan really needs Leao in the next few seasons i think maldini should keep him in ac milan.

Rafael Leao personally has impress and likes with Arsenal performance this season but don't mean Arsenal will bought him this summer and from season to season Rapael Leao has showed good progress with Milan even if we compared his performance was quite better than last season and Milan also has give him one place to starting lineup for almost each matches i think this showed he is important player for Milan and a good news appears today that Rapael Leao will respect for his contract with Milan and will focus for this team for at least until his contract ended and Leao could be good commodity for Milan so they should be give him contract extention immediately because not impossible he will be aiming big clubs who want him this summer

You are right, Leao will be an asset for AC Milan for the foreseeable future, so it's no wonder that the rumors that have recently been circulating Ac Milan have prepared a new contract for Leao.
if this new contract reaches a word of agreement between Leao and Ac milan then Leao will be the highest paid player in Ac milan. with a young age, many achievements can be achieved by Leao if he has high loyalty with ac milan. he has secured a good place and all the fans hope he will agree to a new contract from AC milan. Ac milan may have difficulty in reaching this agreement because if a club from the EPL persuades Leao with a fantastic salary then this will be one of the factors for rejection from Leoa camp.

Philippe Coutinho was signed by Aston Villa with really nice hopes. However his time is running out here as it seems now. Because Aston Villa look like ready to sell him in January transfer window.

It has been only one season since he joined the team. But his performance in this season is even worse now. He has 0 goals and assists. He doesn't look like he is even close to his much better times anymore. I still remember his times with Liverpool. He was really productive and Barcelona signed him by paying a tremendous transfer fee. Aston Villa signed him for 20 million euros and he hasn't lost much from his market value yet. It would be the best for them to sell him quickly.

Philippe Coutinho

Coutinho is probably among the greatest mysteries of the last 10 years of football history.
The fact that out of nowhere it came to be valued at 150 million euros if I am not mistaken, only to return to being valued at less than 20 million a few years later, is unanswerable.

he was a bubble.

Unai Emery has just served as Aston Villa coach and the name Coutinho is immediately on the list of players that Aston Villa will sell in January

apart from that Coutinho has just suffered a hamstring injury, and it is not clear when he will recover, Coutinho's hopes of being at Aston villa for a long time seem to be small

Injury to Reece James posed challenges to them, the coach has to be prepared for a situation if he gets injured again.

David Fofana has already been done by Chelsea already as it was confirmed by Famous Italian Journalist Fabrizio Romano. Armando Injured is far better than Aubameyang currently who has been the worst player for Chelsea if I should suggest.
Jamie Vardy who hasn't scored a single Premier League is far better than the so called Per Emerick Aubameyang who has scored once or twice for Chelsea this season.

I do not see them jumping into the top four spot they need improve with the players they currently have, I'll like to see Chelsea complete the signature of Declan Rice no issues with that as he will be a better suitor for that Ngolo Kante's position which haven't been well used since he got Injured. Chelsea needs a good defensive midfielder and Rice can fill that role up very well.

[MoonOfLife]

I'm just not sure about Fofana's performance at Chelsea but I wouldn't like to be prejudiced either. Most probably Chelsea are thinking of him as their backup striker while there is Nkunku. But of course the performance levels can make a change in balances in the team. Fofana is a player who has performed amazingly for Molde in this season so far. He has scored quite many goals. Can he be like Jr Haaland maybe?    One of Haaland's old teams was also Molde that's why I made that joke. 

Hope you do understand that Nkunku won't be available for Chelsea until the summer which the season will be over by then. If we can't get our scoring problem settled now, of what difference does it make to the season that has started badly. Fofana is no backup to Nkunku instead a backup to Aubameyang and if he impressed the coach, he might even be a starter and then combine with Nkunku when next season begins.

If Fofana can give us 50% of what Haaland is giving Manchester city, I think we have gotten our season back on track. Chelsea lack goal scorers and all our forward are worst at converting chances or crating one themselves. Sterling that was bought to create chances has been poor this season and so has Mount and the others.

Chelsea is trying to make sure that even if some of the players are injured they do not have any problems going forward. They are already performing quite badly. And I agree that they are actually trying to do whatever they can so that they can overcome the situation that they are currently in right now. But I am not so sure that by doing all these, the problem that they have of scoring goals is going to be fixed. and I actually think the biggest factor which is holding them back right now is their own coach.

Ronaldo is old enough now. No Premier League club will be interested in signing Ronaldo now. Bayern Munich is likely to sign Ronaldo for 1/2 season. Because Munich needs an experienced finisher. I think Ronaldo is waiting for an offer from Munich. But I think Ronaldo should join Al Nassr now. Al Nassr management is ready to provide good enough wages.

So far, Ronaldo has been linked with many big clubs to clubs from the Arab League. however, there will be no definite statement coming out of Ronaldo or Mendes as his agent. Even though Chelsea originally wanted Ronaldo's services, until now they have not said they will bring him in the upcoming January transfer window.

especially with Bayern Munich, I really doubt that Munich needs Ronaldo's services. after all, Bayern already have Choupo-Moting who can be relied on, although not as sharp as Lewandowski. on the other hand, on several occasions Oliver Kanh has said that Ronaldo is not in line with Bayern Munich's philosophy. So, I really doubt what you said about Ronaldo and Bayern Munich. So, where will Ronaldo land in the upcoming January transfer window, we will find out as soon as that day comes.

Ronaldo will definitely not go to Bayern, nor to Chelsea for that matter. It is true that many Arabic teams are interested but Al-Nassr offered him an amount of money (reportedly) that nobody could ever offer. I am still not 100% sure if that offer is real or not, it looks a bit more like marketing, like they said they offered it but not really offer him with some contractual problems.

But if it is real, I still don't know why Ronaldo is thinking, this is the type of money that could not be found anywhere, even Mbappe can't get it, no player in the world can get it, this is an amount that is unreal and he should accept it right away. He should stop looking at big clubs, and start to look where the money is.

Chelsea have started their Declan Rice chase again.

Declan Rise would cost Chelsea so much money, but i think it would be very much worth it for them, we are talking of a figure that could rise to about £100m. Declan Rise is very good, though i don't think he is worth that much, but i guess it is what it is, the crazy transfer market, the English hype and every club looking to make the most out of their star player, thus if Chelsea want him, they definitely have to pay well to get him.

Having said that, Kante is very well leaving in the summer as a free agent after all these good years with the club, of which i am sure they would be thankful to him for, now to replace the French superstar with Declan Rice is a great move for Chelsea, and they wouldn't have to worry about the defensive midfield position for a very long time.

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.

Why would Barcelona still have interest in bringing messi at this time of his age. Their are young players that are capable of helping Barcelona to be the way it used to be during the days of Messi.  Their are players like Haaland, Bukayo Saka , Camavinga and many other Barcelona needs to have in mind to sign.

Liverpool are thinking of giving up on Bellingham transfer due to some complicated details of a probable agreement.

This means that one of the biggest competitors to sign him will be out of the race. I wonder what the complicated part is there. Because Real Madrid and Manchester City are also after him in the end. I guess that it isn't related to money. Because I don't think Liverpool are financially bad now. Yeah, they spent a lot of money for Nunez like €80m. However they sold many players for a good amount of money also. Therefore they must be still strong when it comes to their transfer budget.

Surely now this is end of long time Klopp dream to bring him to Liverpool because Real Madrid is already stealing this deal, and they could be completed this at the end of this season even many are feeling Manchester City is also involved in this race but most chances Real Madrid is in pool position, and they can bring him in La Liga which also could be good for this wonder kid because he can do much better and having better future for his amazing skills.

Liverpool is surely still have better financial situation, and they can do few other buying's as well which can strength their squad and bring better results but for the better results now they have to wait for the end of this season instead of having any positive change in this winter transfer window where they can't bring their desired players.
