⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Razmirraz]

It seems like Chelsea are still continuing to make their transfer attempts for the attacking line.

This time the rumours are telling that they are trying to sign Atletico Madrid's youngster Joao Felix. He has been a target for some big teams these days already of course. But I'm hearing about Chelsea's interest for the first time and I must admit that I'm quite surprised. Because they have already made two signings like Fofana and Nkunku to the place as far as I know. It looks like they want to increase the alternatives and do everything they can to boost their scoring productivity. Felix hasn't been wanted by Simeone as it seems so Chelsea wouldn't have much trouble in agreeing with the team first.

Chelsea must compete with Manchester United for Joao Felix, it is reported that Manchester United are trying to bring Joao Felix to Old Trafford after failing to reach an agreement with Cody Gakpo. Manchester United, who are in need of a new sticker, will try to complete the transfer of Joao Felix, the disharmonious relationship between Felix and Simeone can be taken advantage of by Manchester United, especially since Felix also wants to continue his expedition in the Premier League.
Manchester United must move quickly to make a bid to secure Felix's services, if Manchester United can make the right offer, then Atletico Madrid will be happy to let the player go to Old Trafford.

Talking about Joao Felix, there are several clubs associated with him besides Chelsea, there are PSG, Arsenal and Manchester United. For a market value of 50 million euros, this price is actually quite good for the teams that are interested in him. But after Man United lost their main target Cody Gakpo, this time they have to get Joao Felix in the transfer market and this will be competition with Chelsea at the same time.

I feel that Manchester United has the edge of signing Joao Felix over every other team due to the connection of Portuguese to Manchester United. Also Jorge Mendes who is the agent of C. Ronaldo and Joao Felix who has a good relationship with Manchester United is trying to push him to the club to compensate for the horrible behaviour of C. Ronaldo. In addition, I think that one of his aims is to strengthen his relationship with Manchester United.

Joao Felix's compatriots are at Manchester United such as Bruno Fernandez and Diogo Dalot, so this will make it easier for Erik ten hag to strategize and mix players. Jorge Mendes' agent doesn't seem to want to bother after CR7's departure from Man United, so yes, to fix this problem, it seems that only Joao Felix can complete the Red Devils in the transfer market later. But other clubs do not seem to be sitting idly by this relationship and it seems they will continue to try to get a contract signature from Joao Felix.

If true, Gakpo is a really exciting signing for Liverpool - especially for such an attractive price.

He showed for Netherlands that he can lead a team offensively, and also has really good stats (not just goals and assists, but overall) in the league this season.
It is a weak league, but he's the type of player Liverpool needs - not a direct type of forward but a creative one.

With him, Liverpool's offensive line looks really complete.

It looks like Frenkie de Jong will be staying at Barcelona.

Because the source says that Barcelona are no longer interested in selling him. I was waiting for this to be honest. Because he started to be a regular member of the starting eleven again after Manchester United failed in their attempts to sign him last summer. The player himself wasn't even seeming eager to leave the team to join them either. I think he is happy now as well. Manchester United missed a really big opportunity. However Barcelona must have demanded 20 million euros more or something like that from them. It was a quite big difference to think over for Manchester United.

I also feel that way, the connection between Joao Felix is closer to Manchester United, so that will make it easier for Manchester United to persuade him to join them. Especially at Atletico Madrid, he didn't get a big chance, this could be an opportunity for Felix to show that he deserves to get enough minutes to play. Chelsea is a new competitor who will fight for Felix, by joining them there will be 3 big Premier League teams that will compete to get him.

Man united need striker not winger

At least this can complement Liverpool's attack line which is still inconsistent there.
Diaz's condition still cannot be said to be good even though there are indeed some reports that he is recovering and of course Gakpo is the right choice at least if Nunez or Diaz are not there they still have other alternatives.
His performance in the World Cup was quite good because he always brought the team even in bad conditions he could make good things, I think this can really be a complement to Liverpool's offensive.

Is this serious? I don't want to believe it but this was said directly by Fabrizio Romano which incidentally is quite valid in the news he gave. I didn't even hear Liverpool rumors with Gakpo before.
Liverpool poured out 37 million plus add-ons, up to £50 million for gakpo's Contract and reportedly this will be a long contract.
Fabrizio also added that in a few days medical tests would be carried out in England.
Sad for Manchester United now because in the beginning they were the most serious about this player.

I was also surprised to check social media today, even trending on Twitter about Cody Gakpo's move to Liverpool. It seems this is thanks to the guidance of Virgil Van Dijk who advised Gakpo to join Liverpool this season and Jurgen Kloop would be more than happy to welcome the Netherland star to Anfield. I can't stop thinking, again Manchester United can be caught up in the hunt for players, we know the rumors first appeared that Erik ten Hag was very interested in bringing Cody Gakpo to Old Trafford and it seems that Liverpool managed to secure the player first, soon they will sign a contract in a few days.

This has been confirmed now and Manchester United must lose their start now even though there are still several other options such as Dumfries or Joao Felix who have been widely rumored before.
But indeed in this case it is also an advantage for Liverpool. They have some great attackers but until now there are still some who haven't been able to strengthen Liverpool like Jota who has a problem in his leg and Diaz who still hasn't fully recovered so Gakpo will be very useful to fill the void.

Frenkie de Jong is a player Barcelona really needs right now, so I don't think Barcelona will be willing to sell him. In the last transfer market, it was also rumored that he would leave Barcelona and Manchester United were teams he was very close to, but Barcelona were not interested in letting him go. Especially if Barcelona sell him now, they don't have players who will be ready to replace him. So I think Frenkie de Jong will still be part of Barcelona for the next few seasons.

Some news sources are saying that Rafael Leao is eager to play in the English Premier League in the future. If this is true then it is eliminating the other big team options from different leagues directly. For example Real Madrid have been among the teams having some interest in signing him. Actually Real Madrid still have Mbappe as number one target in their list for the attacking line. If they don't manage to make this transfer next summer then they would look for other alternatives.

Leao can actually adapt to the Premier League football. His playing style is pretty nice for that. But I don't know if there are any Premier League teams interested in him yet. But Leao is a player who shouldn't be missed for sure. He wants to focus on his game at Milan for now.

[kamvreto]

The latest news from Manchester United. This time, the issue of the newest striker is being discussed. Manchester United reportedly got their new striker named Bertinho, a former U-20 Portugal national team player. In the 2021/22 season, Betinho only played once in the Taca de Portugal competition. He did not make a single goal or assist in that match.

In the list of new Manchester United players, there is the name of a new striker, Bertinho, who wears the number 11 jersey, even though this jersey number still belongs to Mason Greenwood, even though Greenwood is currently suspended due to legal issues.


But Bertinho's name has not yet received official confirmation from Manchester United, for more details we only need to wait for confirmation from Official Manchester United.

There are currently several reports suggesting that Manchester United and Chelsea are on the same radar for signing this player.
Leao's own contract will end soon and when this statement was issued this obviously invited quite a big reaction but the problem is that it will probably still be the same as before namely in the price because of course if Milan releases this player they will try to continue to be at the highest price in the clause release.

Mikel Arteta is eventually remoulding the team to a perfect shape. Having gotten a wonderful team already, He is still on a move toward securing a dependable second option. currently Tielemans has agreed on a transfer terms with arsenal and may join them on a free transfer at the end of the season, and Myhayo mudryk is Arteta's next chase. If Arteta succeeds in bringing in these two individuals, I think Arsenal may be the next EPL champions.

I don't know who thr Fvck is Myhayo mudryk but man, the name Tielemans says it all for Arsenal if they get him and Thomas Partey gets Injured by chance, Granit Xhaka can be brought deep to play the defensive midfielders duties while Tielemans plays ahead of him.
He'll make a good addition for Arsenal as he'll support em chase the Premier League tittle, I hope the news of him signing despite being a Free player is no excuse and speculations ? I really want to see Arsenal winning the Premier League this season.

I feel bad though hearing that both PSV and Liverpool reach a complete agreement for Cody Gakpo the Netharland, this feels like betrayal after that read he still hasn't changed his mind about Manchester United. I won't lament too much bout it no more, it's good luck and congratulations nto him in the future ahead. ( Welcome to the Premier League )

[Pokapoka124]

It’s official that Cody Gakpo has joined Liverpool. Honestly I didn’t see this coming. We all expected Manchester United to get him as they were the one certain about Gakpo's deal. But talks between Liverpool and PSV were at an advanced stage on Monday night as Liverpool moved to head off competition from Manchester United. Manchester United had instigated talks but were still to finalise a financial offer and Liverpool have taken advantage. I don’t know if Ten Hag really wanted him because he would have gotten the boy before Liverpool. It’s a good player and a good addition to the Liverpool team.

I think Manchester have missed out yet on another star player just as they missed out on Carmavinger before Real Madrid snapped up the deal and got him to sign. Manchester United have repeated same slack again this time and Liverpool have got the jackpot. Gakpo is a very good player and will add more strength to Liverpool's attack.

With him, Liverpool's offensive line looks really complete.

The presence of Cody Gakpo is like water in the desert for Liverpool. This is because Liverpool lack topnotch forward players after Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino suffered long injuries. Darwin Nunez, who was brought in in the summer of 2022 to replace Sadio Mane, played far below expectations. I think Gakpo is really needed at Liverpool to catch up in the English league as well as prepare for the Champions League match

[RealMalatesta]

Man United is slowly improving its squad. Ten Hag improved MU's midfield and back, and the results have already been seen. but on the front lines, as you said, MU lacks players with the potential consistently to score goals. therefore it is rumored that Man United is being very aggressive in hunting for strikers in the winter transfer market.

Man United is hunting for a player who plays as a midfielder and winger/striker. De Jong is still Man United main target to strengthen the midfield, but Ten Hag's desire to continue working with his former subordinates at Ajax Amsterdam has again reached an impasse. De Jong still wants to play at Barcelona and Xavi will soon put him in the position Bosquets often occupies. Meanwhile, in the Winger/Striker position, there is already the name Cody Gakpo, but no agreement has yet been made.

De Jong situation is a lot more about money and not about just Barcelona, because if United offered a lot of money that would mean that Barcelona would have a lot of money room to wiggle on their financial burden as well. This is why I am pretty sure that if United offered 100+ million to De Jong, they could get him without a doubt.

But, as we all know there is really nothing about the current situation that could be considered 100+ million worthy, why would they pay him that much anyway? So all in all, it is at an impasse because United doesn't want to overpay again, and of course Barcelona wouldn't sell unless it is too good to turn down type of offer since they are using him happily.

Barcelona will be more than happy to get ride of De Jong and his salary, especially the money they promised to give him back during covid-19 cut and they are trying to intimidate him to not ask for them.
ManU could buy 2 players or even more with such number, +€100m? why? They are buying Mbappe? A game changer guy? He is a good player but this number is overpriced.

Darwin Nunez, who was brought in in the summer of 2022 to replace Sadio Mane, played far below expectations. I think Gakpo is really needed at Liverpool to catch up in the English league as well as prepare for the Champions League match

Darwin Nunez hasn't really been as bad as people think, i know he hasn't scored as many goals as people expected him to when he arrived at Liverpool, part of the problem/pressure on him is that City signed Erling Haaland around the same time Liverpool signed Nunez, and whilst Haaland is firing on all cylinders, Nunez isn't doing quite the same thing and people are making all sorts of comparison all over social media.

Having said that, i think Nunez would eventually be a hit for Liverpool, and ironically the signing of Gakpo could help his career because sometimes competition helps a player improve, i think the competition in Liverpool's attack would help all of them to improve in order to play, and it would be a win-win for the players individually and the club too.

[izsara]

Before you people talk about Manchester city, don't you know that Manchester city, you have to know that Manchester city doesn't have a  good players right now, even their golden player who is Ronald has old and it can not perform well again, i think what they have to do, is that they are supposed to at least watch from this world cup and buy more performing players, Haaland is a good players but some people doesn't like the methods of it's ball.

Manchester City doesn't have good players? what nonsense are you talking now?
Some people don't like Haaland's game? Where is this person from? I think in this case you talk too much unreasonable. Or maybe the petition a while ago about Haaland being too strong at Manchester City so that you take this petition to get Haaland out of the EPL seriously? this is really ridiculous lol

Yeah i saw that too he was saying a non sense thing about manchester city. It seems like he didn't even aware about city's player lol. City has kevin de bruyne and so many good players in the club that were making it sitting at the second position right now. It seems like that he didn't even aware if those great players like haaland who has been making city was placed at the second place. It must be ashame for him to call city didn't have good players at this moment. 

Seeing the current condition Manchester City is actually filled with strong players on almost all fronts and even during the world cup some time ago they actually sent the most players who participated for their country as many as 16 players how could this not be called a great player.
Actually in terms of assessment maybe this depends on everyone's perspective but to say Manchester City doesn't have great players in it is a little too much for me.

.

I didn't know why people have been busy flying the negative news of Nunez. They have refused to measure the young guy in his own abilities. It is either they are measuring him with Haaland or they are measuring him with Mane.
Being signed after Mane was sold doesn't mean he is standing in place of Mane and must therefore play like Mane.
It is very difficult to see a player that can play like Mane because the guy is very dedicated and selfless.
