⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[makishart]

Pep Guardiola has stated that he has dismissed all player news on the table related to Man City in this season's transfer market. It seems that the steps taken by Manchester City are correct with the depth of the squad they have, Man City is still able to navigate regular competition or the Champions League this season. For Enzo Fernandez at such an expensive price it seems that it will make him sell a bit slow because negotiations from several clubs are ongoing and there have been no recent updates until now.

The price tag that already given by benfica for enzo didn't even make sense for me. City was a rich club but wasting hundred million thousands for him will not even worthy caused by city has a very good squad right now. It was also able to win against liverpool from the last match. the squad that owned by pep was good enough to win EPL but the problem must be whether arsenal will be losing some points or not. I meant newcastle was slowly climbing up and it was in the same level as manchester city now.
Newcastle is doing very good in EPL this season. Thanks for the new owner of newcastle.

Youngsters are essential for the improvement of a team and when one is present in a club, the board takes drastic measures to ensure that the player signed long-term time contract with the team. Barça will push in for one of their intermediary tender defender, Alejandro Balde, the board considering a long contract extension for the teenager, after a called up for his first world cup game under Luis Enrique in Qater. He's 19 and already playing at top level for the catalans. New deal on the verge on complete agreement from both parties with validation for five years with additional release clause.

Argentinian young talent, Enzo Fernandez in Chelsea's sights, according to rumors, currently Chelsea are ready to offer Fernandez for € 127m ^(source) to Benfica. A very fantastic price for this player. Because previously not many paid attention to him, the World Cup skyrocketed his name by becoming the best young player at the World Cup 2022. Even though he is being linked with Chelsea, Fernandez admits that he doesn't know anything ^(source).

My opinion is that this is a terrific deal for Enzo Fernandez as he has shown for the past few years that he has tremendous potential on the pitch. There's no doubt that he had a stellar World Cup season with champions Argentina, and he deserves all the attention that he is getting at the moment. It is true that he might be a worthwhile addition to the Chelsea squad. This is because Chelsea may want a central midfielder as they attempt to build a bit of squad depth in that position. However, I personally feel that €127 million is a bit excessive.

Fernandes played a great World Cup - but I agree he seems a bit overrated at this point.

The valuations that have been tossed around are the same as Bellingham's - who has already got 3 full senior seasons behind him as one of the key players in a more competitive league.

I really hope Liverpool goes for him - even for 120 million. He's English and looks like a complete box to box midfielder already - and he's only 19 years old.

We can't say he is overrated rather the fee is too expensive but what do expect, many clubs have been acquiring young talents for such huge fee. This same Enzo Fernandez was less than 20 million as at last summer, this current valuation of him is the buyout clause and any club that needs him badly will have to trigger it. But I agree with you that Bellingham is more experienced than him and a better suited player for the Premier league but with Madrid interested in him it will be hard for him to choose another club because no player decide against joining the Spanish giants

@cryptofrka I doubt that Liverpool can buy him, because if they fail to secure champions league football then he won’t come and play for them. Furthermore Real Madrid, Manchester City also want him thus I sincerely believe that Liverpool have absolutely no chance of signing him unless suddenly all other clubs back out from this transfer.

[Soonandwaite]

what happened to Cristiano Ronaldo ? is he moving to Saudi Arabia ? he is supposed to have his medical check-up soon .
and then sign a contract and become an ambassador for the club ? the date for the medical check-up is supposedly already fixed.
ok. 200 million dollars is a lot of money. but it is much too warm there.   but his silver Rolls-Royce must have a good air-conditioning system on board.

There's no way that kid can afford that much money. It would be a waste of his talent to sit on the bench with all their other big signings.
Enzo Fernandez, it is reported, is wanted by Chelsea, but Benfica will not sell for less than 105 million euros. His World Cup season with Argentina was stellar, so this is not surprising. Despite having money, Chelsea invests in players that aren't helping them.

I think Liverpool doesn't have the financial capability to compete with the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea due to their current financial constraint.
Enzo Fernandez is one of the most talented midfielders of his generation. He recently won the world cup with Argentina and his price tag has gone up.
The alternative for Liverpool is Jude Bellingham of Borussia Dortmund.

Since it's a transfer speculation thread, I'm posting my query here instead of creating a new thread.
There's always rumour on different players all the time when transfer window is near/open. For example, the most hot rumour now I guess is- Both Real Madrid & Liverpool is trying to get Bellinghum/Enzo (any of them). While the rumour for Enzo to Madrid is pretty weak I guess, Bellinghum will be signed by Madrid I guess.
So, is it possible to place bets on such transfer news/rumour? Does any bookie offer this? I haven't checked a lot but have never noticed this anywhere.

[Pulsar77]

Of course. I wanted to mean that Nkunku would be the main striker of the team when Chelsea have him and Fofana in the team at the same time.

Fofana seems to have a good potential but we don't know how effective he would be able to play in the biggest and most challenging league in Europe. Haaland was ready for bigger fights already but we don't know much about Fofana yet. He will need to prove himself but we will see how much time Potter will give chance to him. Actually I think Potter could give him enough chances to prove himself to the team because he has done the same for Broja so far. Broja couldn't score much unfortunately.

How can Christopher Nkuku become a Central Attacking Player ? Especially for Chelsea ? No he is a complete winger go check of his videos at RB Leipzig you'll see he is more of a winger than a Central Attacking Player.

They also need to hasten up with the signature of Declan Rice from West Ham he is the replacement for Ngolo Kante since they're not offering him a contract extension. As per the potentials of Fofana I haven't really checked if I have i must have forgotten, bit the premier league ain't no easy league, I hope he gets the message.

Are you sure of it mate? Because he rarely played on the left or right wing. But yeah, we can't actually say that he is a centre-forward mainly. He is more like a second striker. He has mostly played as a second striker and central attacking midfielder so far. He has 10 goals in 12 matches as a second striker and 5 goals in 7 matches as an attacking midfielder in this season so far. He might switch positions in matches from time to time of course. We can see him everywhere in the attacking side.

But his main positions in this season have been the ones I indicated. I don't know what kind of a strategy Potter is thinking of after having him. Maybe he would try him as a centre-forward first to see his scoring ability there.

He's not yet officially in Saudi Arabia, so there's still a chance we'll see Cristiano Ronaldo in Europe, but which club to sign him is still a big question mark. As long as there is no official news about his move, then Saudi Arabia is just a rumour.
It's true that the Saudi Arabian League won't be that strict, but if he is really there, there might be a lot of new fans about the League. We know that Cristiano Ronaldo always attracts attention wherever he is, one of the reasons why the Saudi Arabian League club wanted to sign him, in my opinion, is also because maybe they want to increase the value of the league so that it is more heard.

transfermarkt reports that premiere league clubs fc chelsea and newcastle united are reportedly ready to trigger the €120 million release clause on argentine international Enzo Fernández.
the 21-yo benfica midfielder was recently voted the best young player at the 2022 world cup in qatar.

Fantastic, really made several EPL clubs interested in him. Newcastle, who we know are on fire this season, also don't want to miss the competition to bring in Enzo Fernandez, Chelsea and Liverpool also don't seem to want to lose in recruiting this player. It looks like it will become increasingly difficult to sign the 21-year-old as he is one of the best young midfielders this season.

Chelsea linked with all these yougins makes me laugh really, still haven't cleared my head over the loss of Cody Gakpo to Liverpool now it's Chelsea and Newcastle hunting a player Manchester United wants Lol. He'll be a good replacement for weak Jorginho mmhh ?
Still linked with Athletico Madrid Portuguese star boy Jaoa Felix who's agent is currently trying to lift his agent of Athletico Madrid.
Enzo Fenandez is a good lad, but it'll be best if he ends up with a better and tactical coach like Erik Ten Hag or Pep Guardiola to bring out the potential in the player. Hopefully he takes the right direction at the end of the look out for a club for him.

When talking about a good coach for Enzo Fernandez, of course Pep Guardiola is the answer. But it looks like Man City won't be spending players this season, Pep Guardiola is still comfortable with his current squad. But if there are other options maybe Manchester United is good enough because they still lack a creative midfielder.

I think that Enzo Fernandez is a really promising young player. He showed this during his performances at the World Cup as he was named the best young player at the 2022 World Cup as a result of his performances. As far as I am concerned, I believe Chelsea would be his best bet, as I believe Chelsea's style of play might be a perfect fit for him.

Additionally, I would also like to point out that Newcastle United have also played some really good football over the past few months and I thought it was worth mentioning. However, if I had to pick a side between the two, I would personally choose Chelsea over Newcastle United.

Maybe Ronaldo has an alternative plan to where he will be going to after now that is why he's still mute about what he has with Saudi Arabia. 200 million dollars is a lot of money,  but I think about christiano Ronaldo is that  the club is not really the kind of club he want to be  at this level of his career. Let's forget about the 200 million dollars offered to Ronaldo and be realistic,  Ronaldo is bigger than playing for a team that won't have any benefit to his career.

I am patiently waiting for Ronaldo to have a club so that all these rumours and speculations would be a thing of the past.
The rate in which I heard Ronaldo linkage to Saudi, I thought by now Ronaldo has bought a house to live with his family in Saudi.
Anywhere Ronaldo choses to go I don't think he has anything to lose. If there's anything he never wanted to lose, it should be the world cup and he has already lost it.
He should simply go for the money and retire in peace. There is much stress in these days football.

Enzo Fernandez is a very outstanding but expensive midfielder. Benfica will not be willing to let this World Cup winner cheaply. Any club that wants his service would have to pay €120million release clause. Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United also has interest in this player. But it seems Liverpool is settling for Jude Bellingham because it might be cheaper to get his signature.

Maybe Ronaldo has an alternative plan to where he will be going to after now that is why he's still mute about what he has with Saudi Arabia. 200 million dollars is a lot of money,  but I think about christiano Ronaldo is that  the club is not really the kind of club he want to be  at this level of his career. Let's forget about the 200 million dollars offered to Ronaldo and be realistic,  Ronaldo is bigger than playing for a team that won't have any benefit to his career.

Ronaldo's move to Al-Nassr is currently shredded in mysteries. We have had different headline from some newspaers that have reported that he is moving to Saudi Arabia. But Al-Nassr's president Musli Al-Muammar have called the news mostly from Spain about Ronaldo's move to the club lies. I think Ronaldo is still weighing the option of remaining in Europe if he has an offer from any top club. The money is good but Ronaldo is an over ambitious personality. You might be surprise to know that he might still have the goal of winning Ballon d'Or.

Fernandes played a great World Cup - but I agree he seems a bit overrated at this point.

The valuations that have been tossed around are the same as Bellingham's - who has already got 3 full senior seasons behind him as one of the key players in a more competitive league.

I really hope Liverpool goes for him - even for 120 million. He's English and looks like a complete box to box midfielder already - and he's only 19 years old.

Yes Fernandez had a great world cup but he is over rated with that release clause placed on him Chelsea has offered a sum rounded close to the amount I still think it will be regected which calls for a renegotiated deal again. He will finally end playing in the premier league with Man United, Man City, Chelsea, Newcastle and Liverpool chasing the young Argentina player. As for Bellingham Pep Guardiola is already interested in him and is really ready to spend the big money he seem like ending with Man City finally he will be far from Liverpool if Guardiola makes the chase serious.

[CryptopreneurBrainboss]

They also need to hasten up with the signature of Declan Rice from West Ham he is the replacement for Ngolo Kante since they're not offering him a contract extension. As per the potentials of Fofana I haven't really checked if I have i must have forgotten, bit the premier league ain't no easy league, I hope he gets the message.

What about Zakaria, he's a defensive midfielders and not over priced as Declan Rice beside, majority of English players are overated. We already have them plenty at the club and that's enough (we don't need more). It sad to me that injury has spoiled Kante career as he's now a shadow of himself. He isn't the Kante that we knew few years back and thankfully he has won almost all there's possible to win. If I were him I'll just retire instead of going to stress myself more and probably cause a long term life injury to my body.

Chelsea is doing the right thing not extending his contract as he's more of a liability to the team then assets. I think Graham Potter should give Zakaria a chance instead of going to get more midfielder when we have more than enough at the club that aren't even getting enough playing time. Zakaria was decent in his last outing and if given more chance, I'm sure he'll impress both the coach and fans.

Cristiano Ronaldo should be considering alternative offers until that offer. The money Saudi Arabia is offering is seriously incredible. With the size of 200 million dollars, he can sign such an agreement in recent years. Of course, if it comes as no surprise, this could probably be the deal. Apart from that, if he signs a contract with Real Madrid, I'm sure he will put the money on the back burner.  Money is not in the first place for Ronaldo.

Enzo Fernandez is one of the most talented midfielders of his generation. He recently won the world cup with Argentina and his price tag has gone up.
The alternative for Liverpool is Jude Bellingham of Borussia Dortmund.

Enzo Fernandez will choose a club that can give him the opportunity to play in the Champions League. In this condition, it is clear that Manchester City is the foremost in securing the services of Enzo Fernandez.
Liverpool is not a priority, besides not having sufficient finances, Liverpool is also outside the Champions League zone in the EPL standings. Chelsea can also be considered, but Manchester City is easier to give him a trophy than Liverpool and Chelsea.
