⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

~snip~

I don't think these rumors will continue since a week ago, but it seems that the new offer made by Arsenal will change the outcome of the negotiations. Mykhaylo Mudryk is a young talent that Mikel Arteta really wants to fill the midfield position, it's no wonder Arsenal are so adamant about getting the Shakhtar Donetsk player's contract signature.

Arsenal have made a new bid for Mudryk worth £62 million plus add-ons, Thesuncouk has reported. direct talks with Shakhtar Donetsk have taken place this week, according to Fabrizio Romano, he said the two sides were close to reaching an agreement. As for other rumours, the Gunners are also said to be considering a surprise move for former Chelsea frontman Eden Hazard.

On the other hand, Mikel Arteta wants the deal to be finalized as soon as possible, so that the winger can be integrated into his squad.  it seems, an agreement will soon be agreed upon by both parties to determine the future of Mudryk. Mudryk will quickly adapt, if in the end he joins the Gunners' youth squad.  As a Gunners fan, I hope that an agreement to sign Mudryk will materialize soon. As for Hazard rumors, it looks like Arteta has to really consider it, because Hazard's performance is very underperforming.

Emiliano Martinez has turned 30 years old. for a goalkeeper, at least he can still exist for the next 7 seasons. if Martinez is not the goalkeeper in charge, how can he be the main goalkeeper for Argentina. he is also believed to be the main goalkeeper at his club Aston Villa.
IMO, Martinez has a style that is as little controversial as it is, nothing more. linked with Bayern Munich. Bayern CEO Oliver Kahn was interested in the Aston Villa keeper, but there were no talks regarding bringing him to Bavaria this January. In fact, there have been many names being linked with becoming Bayern Munich's goalkeeper for the second half of the season. but so far, no official statement has been issued regarding the arrival of any of the goalkeepers to Bavaria.
The only name that comes close to becoming a Munich goalkeeper is Yann Sommer, although there have been various controversies over bringing Sommer to Bavaria this January. for sure, Bayern still has Sven Ulreich and they have to give him a chance to prove his worth.

For a goalkeeper it is normal to have longer career period, as a goal keeper 30 years is almost an average age and some goal keepers even reach their prime in their 30's. Some goalkeepers even play until age 40 so imagine Emiliano Martinez having up to 10 years more to play.  It looks like the trending rumour about Martinez joining Bayern Munich have died down after weeks with no official statement made about this by Bayern Munich.

There is no doubt that Emi Martinez is in great form right now. Keeping this form for the next 5 years will not be surprising if he is able to continue to play like this for the next few seasons. As a result of the fact that their bodies do not have to do too much when it comes to playing a match, they are often able to play for longer periods of time. But as Emi Martinez grows older, he will obviously lose some agility. There will also be a slowing down of his reflexes. Even so, I think he will still be able to perform well for at least the next three years, at the very least.

It is actually quite surprising that after a performance like this in the world cup, no prestigious club has expressed any sort of interest in acquiring him.

Harry Kane is just unlucky player, he tried so hard to get a trophy for Tottenham Hotspur but he couldn't deliver alone. He needs to leave Tottenham Hotspur but are any club ready to sign him? Last season Manchester city tried to sign him, but he refused to sign for Manchester city. Bayern Munich would be a good club for him, but they have not submitted any bid for him. If he still wants to play in English premier league, I think he will choose Manchester United. If Manchester United bid for him, I'm sure for that.

Harry Kane is already 29 years old, he is almost past his golden age as a professional player. It's time for Harry Kane to make a decision for the rest of his career to win some trophies, with Tottenham he will never be able to lift a trophy because Tottenham quality is still below Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal.
Kane will not forever be a major player at the club he defends due to age, there are still a few more years for Kane to win a trophy with another club. He must immediately end his tenure with Tottenham to pursue a trophy that has never been won in his career.

Today football's rumor transfers:

Goncalo Ramos to Manchester United
Jorginho to Napoli
Marcus Thuram to Chelsea
Matteo Guendouzi to Aston Villa
Formose Mendy to West Ham
Vincent Aboubakar to Besiktas

Only Aboubakar rumor is seems high likely will come true while the other the probability is still unknown which mean they might be interested with the other clubs.

The most current rumour going round is the Vincent Aboubakar to Besiktas rumours. It is so disappointing to see his contract with Al Nassr terminated after the signing of Ronaldo to the club. At this point the former Al Nassr striker will be looking for a possible destination in this January window so if Besiktas are really interested in the player I think it is likely that the deal can happen for the right wages and contract conditions.

As reported by Transfermarkt, Atletico Madrid are interested in signing Memphis Depay from Barcelona. Of course this is not without reason after Joao Felix was loaned to Chelsea, of course Diego Simione is looking for new players to replace Joao Felix in their attack line. While Memphis Depay rarely gets minutes to play at Barcelona, this will be a serious consideration between players and teams.

[izsara]

As long as Benzema is healthy and the injuries that always haunt him don't recur, this is still good enough for them.
Kane can still be a good replacement at centre-forward for Madrid but on the other hand now Kane's condition is a little complicated.
Apart from Tottenham, who will certainly force to hold this player, there are several other big clubs such as Bayern and Manchester United who are ready to compete with Madrid's money at this time.

As I know, Harry Kane has become a target of Madrid for a long time ago, but the deal is not complete because Kane still felt at home play in England. Kane has realized Madrid competition is so tight when there was still Ronaldo on Madird squad. Now, after no longer dominant attacker maybe Kane will thinking it again to play on La liga, but of corse with his age, he will face the younger attacker in the squad, and most likely if it can not replace the role of benzema, his position would be the same as the others.

I saw Fabrizio Romano's conversation in this regard and he said that Madrid have not had any contact with either Kane or Tottenham so maybe this will be a little difficult or maybe this is also exaggerated by the media as they always do.
The current condition is that news is circulating that Benzema will not extend his contract and will look for a new club for him to continue his career but this is still a rumor.

[hyudien]

Maybe this evidence is enough to confirm that Joao Felix is really only bringing Chelsea worse. Got a red card in his first match? In my opinion, this is a shame, far from what was expected, instead of improving the situation, it worsened the situation for Chelsea, who had to submit to Fulham. Was it surprising he played or wanted to spoil Chelsea's formation?

He looks so stupied in that match. I meant as a new player and how the hell he was getting a red card. The speculation by so many people about he was a panic buy by chelsea has been proven by himself. Chelsea lose again and again.
There's no doubt if this club already going down to the ground. Chelsea looks the worst now. Todd has been spending so much money for nothing. Potter will be sacked very soon.
I guess that potter shall get a new team before it's too late. It needs a harsh hand to be a coach for chelsea. Potter was feeling so frustated with the result that achieved by chelsea.

What Joao Felix has done in his first match has clearly made Chelsea condition even worse. Many doubted him before he played, and now those doubts are proven on the pitch. He brought his rough playing style at Atletico Madrid to the Premier League, which is clearly not a place to make fatal mistakes at the start of the match. Apart from starting his career as a loan player, Joao Felix can be considered inappropriate in the Premier League. His hard game training at Atletico Madrid is not very suitable to be applied at Chelsea. If this is the case, who knows what next steps will be taken by Chelsea. Because it has clearly made Chelsea's position increasingly sneered at by the fans.

There are reports that Arsenal have submitted a new proposal for Mykhaylo Mudryk and this time it is close to €70m fee plus add-ons. It seems negotiations are ongoing with Shakhtar Donetsk to discuss on the add-ons package. Honestly I feel they will definitely accept the offer, because I don't see any reasonable reason in keeping an unhappy player in your club, his mind is no longer with them, it’s time to let him go.

I don't think these rumors will continue since a week ago, but it seems that the new offer made by Arsenal will change the outcome of the negotiations. Mykhaylo Mudryk is a young talent that Mikel Arteta really wants to fill the midfield position, it's no wonder Arsenal are so adamant about getting the Shakhtar Donetsk player's contract signature.

Arsenal have not given up on signing the player, as evidenced by their new bid for the deal that current owner Mudryk wants. The new offer they submitted may be considered for his current team to let him go at the proposed price. The reason is that the offer was then rejected because Shakhtar Donetsk did not want to let go of the player at the price previously proposed. Young players are prioritized by Arsenal for their future.

Benzema is still the main striker and i dont think even if they were intrested that Kane would just leave like that and move to Real Madrid to be a second striker and be a lot of the times on the bench. He is closer to Bayern Munich ,but i think in this transfer window nothing will happen regarding him.

Sure. When Real Madrid makes a serious offer to a top striker like Harry Kane, they must plan him to be the main striker. Real Madrid must know that Harry Kane won't accept the offer if he will be a substituted striker in Real Madrid. Harry Kane is a top and experienced striker, he needs to play regularly and be the main striker in his club. Regarding his rumor to move to Bayern Munich, I rarely heard the rumor lately. I guess Bayern Munich isn't interested with his expensive price.

As reported by Transfermarkt, Atletico Madrid are interested in signing Memphis Depay from Barcelona. Of course this is not without reason after Joao Felix was loaned to Chelsea, of course Diego Simione is looking for new players to replace Joao Felix in their attack line. While Memphis Depay rarely gets minutes to play at Barcelona, this will be a serious consideration between players and teams.

As long as Barcelona doesn't sign a new striker, I doubt they want to let Depay move to Atletico Madrid.
Barcelona only has 2 strikers (Lewandowski and Depay). If Depay leaves Barcelona, they will be in a crisis of strikers. Xavi won't let a crisis happen in Barcelona attacking line.

According to AS, Aubameyang wants to return to Barcelona now.

It must be because of the horrible condition of the team first of all. Besides he hasn't been able to play like he was doing at Barcelona. And now there are new alternatives in the attacking line as well. There are Felix and Fofana as well with the hope of increasing the productivity in scoring goals. Nkunku is another player who is expected to join by this summer. Aubameyang will need to work much harder to earn his place in the starting eleven. But I don't think he can be as productive as his Barcelona performance.

The source: https://as.com/futbol/primera/aubameyang-podria-volver-a-espana-n/

Auba arrived at Tuchel's time and indeed at that time he could still get a chance, but when it comes to eras it seems Potter will block that especially since there is also Joao there. On the other hand, Chelsea also rarely uses 3 strikers as a foundation, so this makes space difficult for Auba.
But even when he was at Barcelona, he actually had no chance there, moreover, Lewandowski was still the main focus.

Competition will be tougher at Barcelona, even though he can return to Barcelona will he have many opportunities to play there? I think it will be difficult, firstly Barcelona are now in a different state than they were when Aubameyang was there. Secondly, players who are now part of the team play quite well between players. And also I don't hear that Barcelona want this player back any time soon. In fact, they are more focused on finding other players they need more in the squad.

Aubameyang might be an alternative choice if this issue is true. Because Barcelona's striker line has been playing quite well recently, bringing back Aubameyang will make the coach reshuffle his position. It can disrupt the team situation
But on the other hand, what Barcelona needs to consider is that they cannot continue to rely entirely on Robert Lewandowski
But I think it will be a much better opportunity to bring in new players who haven't played at Barcelona.

@zuzie I’m not sure if he should return back to Barcelona, because why would Xavi change the lineup when it’s already working without Auba therefore he should target another club that that will allow him to play more often. Further he could probably consider moving to MLS or the Saudi league to join Ronaldo, because I don’t see any top team that’ll now be keen to purchase him hence these two leagues are the best option for him in my personal opinion.

While Memphis Depay rarely gets minutes to play at Barcelona, this will be a serious consideration between players and teams.

I would actually be pretty surprised, if Memphis Depay would really be the number 1 choice of Athletico Madrid as a replacement for Joao Felix. The last news that i read about Depay at Barcelona was, that the officials of the club were pretty angry about him because he faked an injury or something like that, so that he did not need to play anymore for Barca shortly before the start of the World Cup in Qatar because he did not want to risk a serious injury and therefore miss the world cup. Also i always have the feeling that Depay is just a prime example of someone that comes out of poverty and gets rich to quickly, the way he behaves. I could be wrong though.

Rumors of Aubameyang return to Barcelona have intensified. After he went through a difficult period with Chelsea, his position was increasingly threatened by the arrival of Felix on loan from Atletico. Aubameyang intention to return to playing with Barcelona is unlikely to be realized at least for the 2022/2023 season. The rules of the RFEF do not allow a player to register three times in the same season even with the same club.
It's different if Aubameyang is loaned to Chelsea, he can still return to Barcelona this season.

Atletico does need a replacement for Felix. and maybe the current selection is enough to fill the position Felix left.
but rumors also exist about the EPL club, Newcastle, who are reportedly also interested in Depay. However, it has been reported that Atletico has contacted the player. it's one step more serious than what other clubs show. Depay doesn't seem to fit in at Barca anymore, leaving in the transfer market this winter seems pretty good.

[rendravolt]

Barcelona only has 2 strikers (Lewandowski and Depay). If Depay leaves Barcelona, they will be in a crisis of strikers. Xavi won't let a crisis happen in Barcelona attacking line.

It seems that Barcelona really wants to keep Memphis Depay. But the player seems less than happy if he is not given a chance and it is rare for Memphis Depay to feature in the starting line-up unless Lewandowski is suspended or injured. However, that is the risk that must be faced by the reserve players and does not rule out the possibility that Memphis Depay will leave Barcelona.

Well, I haven't heard about the Memphis depay issue and Barcelona officials, but if it's true, the chances of leaving Barcelona will be made easier by the current rumours. I honestly doubt that Memphis Depay will leave Barcelona, but if the player is deemed to be in trouble of course that will lead to his future elsewhere.

[lizarder]

Yeah, I guess it's a panic transfer. Chelsea brought in Felix with a loan scheme which actually cost them, there is no mandatory purchase clause at the end of the loan period, so Felix will return to Atletico Madrid.

The purpose of recruiting Felix was to renew the Blues' attack line which was considered not sharp. But I doubt Felix will be able to solve the problems Chelsea are currently facing especially in such a short amount of time. Felix is indeed one of the talented young players, but he is not experienced enough and the Premier League is a league that is quite tight and tough.

Felix's first debut with Chelsea in the Premier League was quite disappointing, getting a red card and at the same time his team lost 2-1 away to Fulham, this proves what I said that Felix was unable to contribute to Chelsea in that match. Currently, Chelsea's condition is getting worse in the standings because they are ranked 10th and have collected 25 points. Obviously this is a big worry, because next season they will have difficulty securing Europa League tickets.

Felix's loan from Atletico is still too soon to judge, but the Premier League is different from the Spanish league, so it needs adaptation to playing with the team, its first debut was very disappointing and it is true that this was a frantic loan by Chelsea.

I can accept that this transfer is a panic transfer. But has anyone seen Aubameyang, Christian Pulisic and Raheem Sterling benefit the team? Felix will be more useful than these 3 names I have counted. You say that one of these 3 players will not be able to enter the top 11, I think this number is low, and 3 should not be able to enter. Despite the panic transfer, I think he will contribute to the team. We are not talking about any football player, we are talking about Felix.

If you watched the Fulham vs Chelsea match last night, that is an illustration of Chelsea's strength going forward and there was almost no big impact when Felix played before getting a red card. Christian Pulisic and Raheem Sterling are currently out injured, while Aubameyang has been a victim of Felix's arrival and will find it difficult to compete for a place.

[bering]

Arsenal looking for the possibilities to bought Raphinha from Barcelona this summer and Arteta feel Arsenal still required new winger and Raphinha might be suitable for his strategy moreover during in Barcelona Raphinha didn't get a place in the starting eleven because Xavi more trust other players than Raphinha so probably Barcelona will allowed him to moved if Arsenal offering good deal for them and apparently this summer Barcelona decide will sell some of their players and besides Raphinha i saw other players such as Ferran Torres and Ansu Fati will included into Barcelona sell lists for this summer

[Docnaster]

So frustrating for Porter. He needed defenders, he has gotten, and he needed attackers he has gotten, and now the club is not doing well. Many are saying that midfield is the major challenge. Even if Chelsea's significant midfielders are on injury it doesn't mean that the second Choices aren't good enough to cover the pace at least till the rest players return. They are not the cause of the poor results the club is Facing. Zacharia and Kovacic made a good duo in the EPL match against man city, but they underperformed ag against Fulham. Midfield is not the cause, the moment is just bad, I believe it will be fine in subsequent times.

[Oneandpure]

However, that is the risk that must be faced by the reserve players and does not rule out the possibility that Memphis Depay will leave Barcelona.

Memphis Depay seems unhappy current situation with Barcelona after having impressive performance at World Cup 2022 and back to the team without get regular position. Last match at Spanish Super Cup he don't get minutes playing as starting eleven or substitutes player and I don't think with Xavi will give him starting position at final match.

Possibility for Memphis Depay leaving Barcelona before January window transfer close but still not hot rumor about next destination team, Atletico Madrid could be one possibility after leaving by João Félix and he has the same position will be good choose become replacing for space left in Atletico Madrid. He know culture with La Liga and not difficult adopt games scheme from Atletico Madrid.

Alexander Nübel just had a Monaco press conference and gave some insights on the rumors of him transferring back to Bayern:

Alex Nübel: "It's normal there are rumours (of a return) because I'm on loan from Bayern. I have a contract until 2025. But at the moment I'm a Monaco player and that's the most important thing. We have a difficult second half of the season ahead. I'm fully focused on Monaco."

We know that your dream is to be Bayern's #1. Can you say you're 100% staying in Monaco until the end of the season, or there's a possibility of a return?

Nübel: "The transfer window is open until the end of January, anything can happen in football. The decision lies with Monaco".

Nübel: "They (Monaco) told me they don't want to give me up in winter. I didn't have any conversations with Bayern. I'm happy here and that's why I'm still here".

Source: https://twitter.com/iMiaSanMia/status/1613897253810475010

So what he basically says is that it's normal for rumors to be flying around since he's on loan from Bayern but right now, he's all in on playing for Monaco. He also mentioned that the final decision is in Monaco's hands and they've made it clear they don't want to let him go in the winter transfer window (but its football so you never know haha).

But let's be real, it's hard to say if he'll end up back at Bayern. With the transfer window open till the end of January, anything can happen IMHO.
