⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[tulusikhlas]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I don't understand why Barcelona does this to their players so often. Raphinha is a terrific winger without a doubt. Arsenal is among the top European clubs interested in signing the Brazilian. In the summer transfer market, Barcelona may sell Raphinha. He is not meeting expectations and they are not satisfied with his performance. While Raphina doesn't have much to offer when it comes to scoring goals, he is extremely good at creating chances. It is a good thing that Barcelona has the option of selling him and raising money in the process.

I don't want to see Kane playing for Tottenham anymore. It is just wasting his time and nothing more. Just think about it. Tottenham have no success for many years. What would you do if you were in Kane's place? You are being seen as one of the greatest strikers but you are still wasting your skills with an unsuccessful team. I think Kane definitely deserves to win titles before it's too late for everything. He is getting old and this is just the time he needs to leave the team for his sake.
I don't say that he should go in winter but he should leave by the summer. Tottenham can't hold him by force anymore I guess. Levy did it before when Manchester City wanted him. But Kane would be very decisive this time if they finish the season without any success.

I wouldn't blame you if you are fed up with seeing Harry Kane trajectory at Tottenham. Harry Kane has been one of the longest serving players at Tottenham and the club has not been winning trophies. As a player, the main objective is to win trophies and when you don't see the Club performing in that direction for years making a move is the next option, everyone wants to be successful and Kane has given such for the club and deserves to be winning trophies.

It is high time that Harry Kane should move away from Tottenham now. There is no reason for him to stay there anymore. This club is not winning trophies for a long time. No one can say that this is the fault of Harry Kane. He has done a lot for this club. If it was anyone else they would have moved away from the club by now. And Tottenham also said that this season they are going to win the English Premier League title. But so far the indication has been different. I also agree that Harry deserves to win some trophies. And I don't think it is going to happen with Tottenham.

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.

Arsenal have made offers several times to buy Mudryk but Shaktar continues to reject the offer, it seems Shaktar understands enough if they can get more money from selling Mudryk, so they continue to survive at high prices, Arsenal urgent need for players in attacking positions after Jesus was injured and Of course Shaktar is more confident if they can get more money by taking advantage of the condition of the arsenal, now arsenal has made their third offer of 70 million euros and I think this will be the last offer from arsenal for mudryk and if Shaktar still rejects the offer I am sure if arsenal will go out from that the transfers.

Erik ten Hag has not stopped trying to fix the shortcomings of the Manchester United squad. Having managed to convince Eriksen, Antony, Martinez and Casemiro and they are now players who have a big role behind the Red Devils' positive results, Manchester United are rumoured to be bringing one more player to Old Trafford.

According to The Sun, Erik ten Hag is closing in on 30-year-old Dutch striker Wout Weghorst from Besiktas after Manchester United failed to secure Gakpo and Felix.

I generally agree with your views on this. Also, Tottenham have a great squad, but they haven't had the success they wanted for years. Son, Kane and Richarlison are talented players who can play for all the elite teams in Europe. However, Conte cannot get enough efficiency from them. I think if these strikers were in another manager, we would definitely see great things. Conte has a serious failure in this regard. He is not criticized much as Tottenham have a chance to finish in the top 4 of the Premier League. If Tottenham start to deviate from their targets, I think he will receive some very harsh criticism.

[Bananington]

I do not doubt this because it is has always been surprising to me how a team with that much quality players not winning games with ease. A coach who is more tactical for Tottenham Hotspur will give a boost to the club. The team will face another real test against Arsenal, and if it the same approach that they had in the first leg, then they should be assured that they will loose again. They had some injury challenges then, the conditions are different now and it will a fair ground for Conte to show how tactical he can be.

I don't even think barcelona will let him go to the arsenal. Barcelona has bought him last transfer season and it seems like that barcelona has no intention to sell him. I think that its' too early to say that if raphinha will be going to the arsenal. Barcelona has not yet given any confirmation regarding such rumour. I hope that he can consider what will be the best for his future. I meant he must also aware if he has not yet gotten any place in barcelona. He shall leave from there as soon as possible.
