⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Bananington]

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.

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.

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

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.

Felix is going to stay as Chelsea player until only the end of the season. Therefore this isn't a big deal for Atletico Madrid considering the long term. But for the rest of the season they had better fill his place in the team. The season is already going on like a nightmare for them. They can't afford some level of drop in their squad quality also. Maybe Felix could have played much better for Atletico Madrid but he was still one of the decent players. He was a regular in the starting lineup also.

Atletico Madrid seem to have long-term plans for him as they want to extend his contract to even 2027. This might mean that we won't see Simeone as of next season. Because these two haven't been getting along with each other well.

[asriloni]

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.

Chelsea has been buying so many attackers while it was forget to get defenders. All of parts in chelsea have its own problems. Potter was feeling so difficult to fix it. That's why panic buy happened. Even the new players that being bought by chelsea can do nothing. Potter has fofana, cucurela and many more but these players are so dumb. They have no experience in playing for the big club. The performance from chelsea has been degrading a lot. Potter may got sacked by todd.
I think that chelsea will always be in the worst performance like this until the end of season.

[herurist]

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.

I even felt that he would not have another chance here.
It's just that Depay is currently unemployed when Lewandowski is around and being in Barcelona with their current condition I think it's impossible.
Xavi is not going to spend money for nothing, especially since their condition is still a little difficult at the moment so I don't think they will accept a striker for now.

[Ryu_Ar1]

Some rumors about Depay now seem to be starting to interest several clubs.
Since there have been rumors that several Barcelona players will be sold in order to save on current salary expenses, Depay has started to be looked at by several clubs.
Previously, there was the name Rome, now Depay was lyrics by Atletico.
This is a little fair in my opinion. Joao's position is still vacant now and inevitably Atletico must find an alternative.
Depay's condition is also a bit favorable because at least at Atletico if this is indeed an agreement then he will get several opportunities to play bigger.

[gabbie2010]

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.

I believe it's not Harry Kane fault to remain in Tottenham while staying in trophy less club, recall his purported move to Man City in the season before the last was thwarted by his club chairman Daniel Levy he was in the verge to sign for City in that summer transfer window unfortunately Tottenham weren't ready to let him go, I think that was very unfair on the part of the club and it's absolutely incredible that such a striker with plenty numbers of goals to his credit at both club level and country is without a medal and trophy couple with the fact that age is no longer on sid,  while no big team is ready to sign him

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.

This Deal has come to full conclusion earlier today, as we saw Wout Weghorst taking his medicals and signing the documents complete.
It has nothing to do with a buy back option just for the short months.

And immediately after the game against Brentford the need for a defensive midfielder came up and Manchester United gained help from Casemiro who has been a great support to Manchester United defense and midfied, he's attacking and defending skills are very consistent as it game inngame out, Man United deserves good and great players like him. All of the signatures has brought development to the club.

At least there are several players, one of which is Depay, who is expected to be included in the sales list.
This could be a good thing because Atletico need a striker now that Joao has left but on the other hand there are still a few possibilities.
Lewandowski's replacement if he can't play is only Depay now so I still feel this can be reconsidered by Xavi.

I wonder, what problem actually happened between these two people, so that it is detrimental to his own team. If it's true Simeone has a bad relationship with Joao Felix but I think while he can play a good game he has to give him a chance to play and stop being selfish over trivial things.
Joao Felix is a good young player overall, so I think he deserves more minutes to get the most out of him.

Maybe Simeone has other ideas with attack for this season and Felix had meagre role in it and Felix didn't liked it leading to bad relationship. <--It happens and honestly, I think Atletico did well to deal with it. It also affects morale and relationship inside the dressing room. At Chelsea, he will get decent minutes but he will learn a lot from this loan spell at Chelsea.

BTW he already got red card in his first game for Chelsea but he really did well.

3 Barcelona players will indeed be on the list of players for sale including Raphinha who is rumored to be eyed by Arsenal for next summer, there is a possibility that if Arteta wants him the article is in my striker which is pretty good in my opinion it's just that at Barcelona Raphinha is not as expected but this is not what was expected for Xavi.
Not only Arsenal there are also several other teams interested in Raphinha I think in the summer there will be many clubs who want him maybe they will be more stringent in their bids.

For now, Arsenal seems to be more focused on the Shakhtar Donetsk player, he is a midfielder but is in the negotiation stage.

João Félix did made an excellent debut in his first game for Chelsea, although the red card issued to him was totally devastating for the new player and the team. However, there's more chances for the Portuguese international to explore in blues games, definitely he will missed three games but he will come back stronger.

[Zackgeno96]

Barcelona apparently does not want to let Depay leave for Atletico Madrid. Just wondering why not? Atletico is certainly no longer a title contender. So there will be no rivalry in that regard. Depay is always on the bench at Barcelona with something like 4 or 5 strikers in front of him who are preferred. Why would they want to keep him on the bench any longer? And I think that Depay himself also wants to play football sometime. He was very bad at the last World Cup, because he managed to make few playing minutes at Barcelona. The transfer around Weghorst seems to be complete with United. Just a medical checkup.

Al Hilal team are thinking of a move for Lionel Messi to counter their rival Al-Nassr after they signed Ronaldo on a record deal. However I don't think Messi would think of leaving Europe now.

Because the situation is not the same for Messi. He is already a PSG player and his performance level is very high. He is fighting for the Champions League title with his team for now. He is expected to extend his contract with PSG one more season also. Al Hilal are also ready to spend insane amount of money on Messi transfer. They are speculated to offer $300m a year to Messi. This is definitely huge but just as I said I don't think this is the time Messi is leaving PSG.

That could be quite possible but also impossible at the same time. This means that if Barcelona sees that they could get someone better, like dembele and? and who? If they could see a chance, then they would love to sell rapinha because it would mean a lot of money for them, considering they are battling with debt and salary cap, it would be a great fresh breath for them to sell him and use that money to get more players, and they could literally get 2 players for that kind of money.

However, they are also considering selling De Jong as well, in which case if they end up selling De Jong then they won't need money too much and keep everyone else.

[nara1892]

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.

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.

There were rumors a few months ago that Depay's clause was 5-15 million, even though this could be said to be quite cheap, but I think Barcelona will still be profitable because Depay was brought in for free.
In addition, they can reduce their current salary.
As for Depay, this condition is clearly better than having to be on the bench forever. I think it's better for him to go to Atletico, at least the competition at Atletico is more open in terms of attackers than at Barcelona, who won't get a chance.

This is definitely huge but just as I said I don't think this is the time Messi is leaving PSG.

I really hope Messi stays at PSG for 1 or 2 years before retirement of move to another country to gain money.
I was suspecting that, after Cristiano Ronaldo, the next would be Messi for sure.

I don't know about the ambitions of Messi, he already won everything, maybe he wants to gain UCL with PSG, but $300m a year is A LOT OF MONEY, it's a life changer money even for Messi, can you imagine 2 years, $ 600m  

This looks like a competition to see who has more money than actually promoting soccer in the country.
This kind of hiring is generally not healthy and will be like soccer in China, UAE among others where they spent a lot of money on exorbitant hirings, but did not invest in the base that would be more important in the long run.

Here's a source to see about Al Hilal and Messi: https://www.marca.com/en/football/2023/01/12/63c06329268e3e724f8b45e8.html

Felix is a good player and a plus for Chelsea for signing him to play for them. The team is lacking in the attacking and he’s there to feel that void now. His debut might have been bad for him but I still see great potential in him and I believe he’ll comeback stronger to help Chelsea take on their role and relief them of their worst moments now.

[cryptofrka]

If Messi signs for a club in the same league as Ronaldo for 50% more money, I think Ronaldo's head will explode

I never thought we'd see players of such quality ending their careers there, but that kind of money on the table would tempt anyone.
I still think Messi won't end up there - but with these numbers flying around it's only a matter of time before some top EU players in their prime start going there.
