⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[GiftedMAN]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

If you look at the trophy, Manchester City will be the best choice among other Premier League teams. But the competition there will also get him in trouble. Yes, we know that now Manchester City have a lot of good players, but they are still trying to bring in players who also have quality. This requires that every player on this team must compete in a healthy manner within the internal team to get a place where they will get a lot of minutes to play.

Zakaria was decent in his last outing and if given more chance, I'm sure he'll impress both the coach and fans.

Our medical team has been shit for the past two years, they have failed to manage our best players over the years, Kante was the 50 game a season player until last season, now James is facing the same injury concern, do you think it has anything to do with our medical and physical coaches? We've been terrible at managing our players, which is why Tobb Boehly is getting rid of some of the physios and hiring some experts to do the job.

Yes, Zakaria is good, but is D. Rice overpriced? But he is still one of the best DMs in the league and he is English, the only way to get him cheap is if he runs out his current contract, which West Ham are making sure doesn't happen, but he would have been the perfect match in our team because the futures of Jorginho and Kante are not guaranteed, so getting Rice for 80-90 million would be a good business. Yes, Zakaria has time to develop, but we need a world-class DM and an experienced player like Rice in our squad if we are to compete with Manchester City and Liverpool.

Cristiano Ronaldo not ready to move to Saudi Arabia as his agent, Jorge Mendes is searching for bids from European clubs. He's one of the best player in football history but his getting old and not fully active as before, so getting a club to signed and agree his personal condition would be a big deal to comply with. Ronaldo is financially balance, he's not moved by the massive gigantic contract placed for him by Saudi Arabia club.

newcastle united is reportedly interested in signing chelsea midfielder Jorginho in January. the italian international's contract at stamford bridge expires at the end of the current season.

newcastle united is reportedly interested in signing chelsea midfielder Jorginho in January. the italian international's contract at stamford bridge expires at the end of the current season.

Jorginho is 31 years old, should Newcastle need to prioritize younger players for his long term project. Newcastle do need experienced players, but it doesn't look like they have to offer a contract of more than 3 years if he is 31 years old like Jorginho. If Newcastle are interested in Jorginho I think that would be great for the strength and stability of their current midfield. Newcastle also needs quality players at a relatively younger age, that will increase the strength of the team.

I don't know how likely this transfer will be between Newcastle and Chelsea. Marcus Thuram also seems to be getting closer to Newcastle, and again Enzo Fernandez is rumored with Newcastle which then makes Benfica feel bad.

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.

Now I respect De Jong even more because he stayed in Barcelona on his own terms. As I understand it, he did not agree to any reduction in wages and forgiveness of debts? This guy has balls! And by the way, now it turns out that he is the highest paid player in Barcelona, or am I mistaken? In any case, his salary is such that the bench does not threaten him.

I do believe that Ronaldo will prefer moving to Chelsea than to the Saudi Arabian club, And currently Chelsea is the only best option for him to choose if come January transfer window open if Chelsea is seriously interested on signing him. With his age what will be suitable for him is spend the rest of his football career retiring in England where he already know the system of play, and don't need to adapt with their system of play if in case he moves to the Saudis club.

PSG situation is getting more difficult after Mbappe put forward three demands so that he stays with PSG. Real Madrid interest in him has made Mbappe selfish attitude uncontrollable, he put forward three special conditions to the club so that he continues to stay with PSG.

Mbappe first demands were very heavy on PSG, he asked the Club to sell Neymar. The relationship between the two players is not harmonious, Mbappe demands that Neymar be immediately sold to another club, if Neymar does not leave, Mbappe will leave.
Mbappe second demand is that PSG bring in Zidane as a replacement for Galtier, Zidan's experience while training Real Madrid is considered to be able to improve PSG quality in local and European competitions. Mbappe also asked PSG to sign Harry Kane, he felt Kane could be the ideal partner for him.

source : Sell Neymar, Zidane as manager and more: Kylian Mbappe sets 3 conditions to remain at PSG

This is what happens if a player is given full discretion over a club because it is certain that his selfish actions will become more and more and that is evident now.
PSG's interest in Mbappe is so great that indeed when he asks for something like this I think like it or not they will definitely do it. Especially for Neymar this is also like making something else because if I'm not mistaken the owner of the club doesn't really like him too much so this is the right excuse for the club.

It has been restless for months about Frenkie de Jong. He has had quite a few words with the management of the club, dirty games have been played. But de Jong has said that you should not believe everything that is said in the media. Somehow understandable. He still owes a lot of money from Barcelona, and therefore did not want to leave (logically, it is millions). What surprises me, however, is that a rich club was unable to buy de Jong and then take over these debts from Barcelona. For clubs such as PSB or Man City, that should not be a problem at all, they don't feel those few million anyway. It seems that De Jong would like to continue playing football in Barcelona and does not want to leave at all.

I've checked the current salaries in Barcelona on the website above.

Frenkie de Jong is currently the biggest earner in the team indeed. He must be really comfortable at Barcelona now. It is true that he wouldn't even be very unhappy even if he doesn't become a regular in the starting eleven. However Xavi seems eager to have him there as he is happy with his performance. Barcelona were thinking of selling him to make their finances better before. But now it looks like they don't want such thing anymore.

This news is still confusing because I saw on other Twitter saying that Newcastle is not interested in a Chelsea player, namely Jorginho, while in other media this is still on Eddie Howe's radar for a transfer in January, but there are four players who are his target, maybe this is still in progress monitoring which coach Eddie Howe will recruit.

Mbappe is a key player for PSG and as important as Messi then comes Neymar who used to be their best player before. I really doubt a player could impose such conditions on a club, to interfere with the administration to kick someone or bring someone or even ask for a specific coach?
Mbappe will not remain in PSG, that's a fact. Messi might leave by the end of the season or the season after. PSG losses in this case will be very big considering the wish of Mbappe to play in La Liga with Real Madrid..

I know it's still rumours, but I tend to agree more if Eddie Howe gets a younger player than Jorginho. Of course there are a lot of players who have been monitored throughout the World Cup, and I don't think Newcastle prioritize Jorginho as much as others. We'll see, something has to grow for them.

This season it looks like Newcastle will spend out a lot of funds to invest in players, especially after they were runners up in the Premier League for a while. Their impressive performance must be supported by great quality players, so it's time to try to bring in some of the top players.

Manchester United currently needs a figure who will replace Cristiano Ronaldo. But not only recruiting new players, but Erik Ten Hag will also promote him from the current squad. Yes, it has to be done, because sometimes the team itself has valuable players that may not have been seen before. Like for example Garnarcho who plays very promising for his future. Players who didn't get much game time for some reason, are now starting to be given game time and even making the difference for the team.

I haven't heard of any striker on their agenda these days. They were trying to finish the Gakpo transfer but I'm afraid they lost him to Liverpool newly. I think they will observe what the team will do for a few matches to decide upon a transfer for the attacking area of the team. Their performance against Nottingham was really impressive. Rashford and Martial were able to show just the performance the team needed. If these two continue to play productive maybe Manchester United would postpone their transfers for this area.

Maybe they are planning a big transfer for next summer already but I don't know. They might go for a midfielder in January as well.
