⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[alegotardo]

Harry Maguire is set to be sold by Man United in the summer. As long as Maguire goes and new center backs are brought in, Man United are on the right track. A number of clubs are interested, including West Ham. There is a report that West Ham is interested in loaning the €87m Man United defender. Can both parties benefit from this deal? However, I wish him the best of luck in his next chapter.

Yes, I think this is the right decision for everyone involved.

Defender Maguire lost a lot of space with Erik ten Hag's performance and now needs to look for a new club to play frequently and have more chances on the pitch to show his ability.

It is also good for United, as the loan is a chance for Maguire to recover his good football in "other airs", mainly so as not to lose the investment of 87.1 million euros paid in 2019. An improvement in Maguire's performances could make the defender valued, so they also gain from it.

As for West Ham, they simply need a good centre-back, a need Maguire can fill if he plays hard enough.

Everyone wins!

The rumors about Yann Sommer moving to Bayern Munich aren't rumors anymore as the journalist Manuel Bonke has captured and posted the arrival of Sommer to perform the medical check in order to sign the contract, according to which the player will play for Bayern until June 2025 for €8m in addition to €1.5€ in add-ons. I think this player is strongly needed now in Bayern as the major goalkeeper Neuer won't be available in the rest of the season.

A transfer from Depay to Atletico Madrid seems imminent. Those teams have already sold many players to each other, with Atletico the big winner if you look at how much money they have made with all those transfers. But they don't seem to have had many reinforcements? Plus they have now lost Felix to Chelsea, look elsewhere to get a midfielder of that caliber today. There are not many who want to move to Atletico halfway through the season. Maybe there are some players in Serie A. From the EPL I don't expect players to go to Spain, you hardly see any English players playing in the Spanish league.

[Distraction]

There is still no news about Liverpool's intention to buy a solid midfielder. We are already halfway through the transfer window and there is still no serious move by Liverpool side. I guess that they have postponed their intention to make such signing to this summer. They are already in a terrible condition in the English Premier League at the moment. It is going to be quite difficult for them to save themselves from this situation. Even if they make it still it will be too difficult for them to finish the season in top four.

Actually, they shouldn't postpone signing new players to improve their performance. If they don't sign new players, maybe no change until the season ends. Liverpool will finish this season in the middle of EPL standings if no change in their performance. It is a shame that a big club like Liverpool can't finish in the top 5. I agree that Liverpool needs new top midfielders, they can't rely on Fabinho and Thiago only, these players sometimes get injured and can't play at their best. Liverpool needs young talented midfielders, Bellingham or Bruno Guimarães will be suitable for Liverpool. But unfortunately, no news about Liverpool interest on these players.

Bellingham and Matheus Nunes seem to be the current midfielder targets for Liverpool.

However they might not get lucky about Bellingham as he is more of a Real Madrid fan at the moment. His father seems to be thinking the opposite and he might try to convince him for Liverpool also. But I doubt he will be successful on that duty. Especially while Liverpool are in a situation like this I understand Bellingham's decision more. But maybe his decision would have still been the same even if Liverpool were very impressive now. Maybe Real Madrid is the dream club for him.

If Tuchel really goes to Spurs, I can see them getting their first cup ever in a few years. He is one of the elite managers in the world and the way Chelsea just fired him was totally team politics and nothing more. Look at them right now, are they better? They are even worse and they should have given him more time, if he was still in charge I guarantee you that they would have been way better than they are right now.

In any case, him at Spurs will not give results right away, but when the times comes you will see that he is going to be amazing at that team and he is going to build them into a cup winning team, maybe not the premier league, but either FA or maybe europa if they are lucky?

[kawetsriyanto]

Tottenham are getting worse, now Conte is under pressure who will be sacked if every match he loses continuously, right now in the EPL they cannot maintain the top 4 because they were previously there due to being inconsistent so they can lose to other teams, tomorrow will face Manchester City while the team under him Fulham and Brighton are getting closer to the points Tottenham I think if Conte loses again there is a possibility for the summer he can be replaced with another.
Regarding the competition that is still active as you mentioned it is still difficult for Conte to reach because it will be very tough for them to compete there.

It is rumored from sources transfermarkts that Thomas Thucel will replace Conte in the coming months, if Tottenham cannot maintain being in the top 4 of the standings.

I am surprised to know Tottenham wants to replace Conte with Thomas Tuchel?  
I don't see that Tuchel is better than Conte. He failed in Chelsea this season, that's the reason he is fired from Chelsea. So, why hire him as Tottenham coach?    I think it is better to keep Conte as the coach and let him to buy some new players to improve the squad quality.

I know that Tottenham performance looks bad lately. Conte must evaluate the tactics and improve the mentality of the players. But it is actually quite good that Tottenham still can stay in 5th place. They still have a chance to return to the top 4, there are still many remaining matches, right?

However, I wish him the best of luck in his next chapter.

Yes, I would also like Maguire to find himself in a new place, to be able to overcome the black streak in his career and reach a good level. Problems and negativity snowballed around him, and if the negativity around hardened players like Ronaldo means little to them, then Maguire was clearly under endless stress.

[baeva]

I am interested in football since at least 20 years or so and during all that time Tottenham was never really an absolute top club, both in the English Premier League and of course also in the European competition. So i don't think we should be surprised, if Tottenham will not be able to reach the 4th place and therefore a spot for the Champions League in the next season. I mean there are also Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal in the same league so there will always be a pretty big club that will not qualify for the Champions League.
If Tottenham really fails to qualify for the CL though then i think the chances that Kane will not prolong his contract will definitely increase and a transfer to Bayern Munich for example could really become a realistic scenario.

It will be in Harry Kane's best Interest to try playing in another big club, maybe Bayern Munich, Real Madrid or even PSG that are all very big clubs. He has stuck with Tottenham for a long time and it is obvious that although he is a key player in the team and he is idolized there by the supporters of the club, he will not be able to win some major competitions with them that every player in his standard will like to win like the Champions League and even win the local league.

Memphis Depay to Atletico Madrid is now a sealed deal from Barcelona, what do you all think?
read news here

Well first of all, the reason why Kane is not moving to another club I think lies on the surface. Maybe he thinks that in another team something will not work out and he will quickly fade as a good player and so he stays where his level is stable. Regarding Depay's move to a new team - sad... Sad that he was never allowed to stay at Barcelona

[SatoPrincess]

I don't think it's strange because this season they just throw money away in a hurry and this is not the first for Chelsea because previously Mudryk wasn't the same as they were spending money fast. Don't know what the obvious reasons are at this point but indeed they are always in a rush to spend money especially when Todd is in the Chelsea squad.
On the other hand I think as long as they are always like that for now with too much rush then indeed this will get worse for them.

Everything with Chelsea was working well until the section, So the major problem to Chelsea now really started from the sanctions on Russia due war which the sanctions later affected the Russian Oligarchs and former Chelsea owner Roman Ibramovic.

That sanction led him to sell Chelsea to the current owner Todd, which Todd later started making some changes with the Board members and later don't have good relationship and confidence in Thomas Tuchel with his then style of management that led to his sack. Since then Chelsea team hasn't gotten their form back.

Yeah Chelsea were much more better before the sanction. They won the champions league the previous season with Thomas Tuchel and the sanction changed so much in the club, ownership, manager and even head of transfers in the club. Since then the club has struggled to get through restructuring phase. Now the club is making many changes and in no time they will be getting back to good form again.

Agree, Sommer's transfer is confirmed by the club!

Pretty interesting development in the past 24 hours tbh - Alexander Nübel announcing that he's staying in Monaco and Sommer signs his news contract at Bayern. Concerning the €1.5m addon the German newspaper Bild added following information:

The €1.5m add-ons to Yann Sommer's transfer fee are distributed as follows: €1m for the Bundesliga title win, €250k for the DFB Pokal title and €250k for the Champions League title [@BILD]

Source: https://twitter.com/iMiaSanMia/status/1615825803920510976

As it looks, Sommer's medical check should take place tomorrow morning. Provided there are no problems here, Sommer should probably already be in the starting line-up against RB Leipzig on Friday. Wow, I wouldn't have thought that at the beginning of the week.

Overall I guess it's a smart move for both sides: FC Bayern gets a solid goalkeeper who has already played in the Champions League and will certainly give everything this season, and Yann Sommer gets the chance to win multiple titles with an absolute top club. Friday's game against RB Leipzig promises to be an interesting one, can't wait to see Sommer in action.

From the EPL I don't expect players to go to Spain, you hardly see any English players playing in the Spanish league.

They want an exchange of players and that would be between Yannick Carascco and Memphis Depay of Barcelona, Depay wants the move immediately as personal terms won't be a big deal to finally agree on. Carascco also seem confident with the switch to Barcelona also.
 
Barcelona can not hold him for just too long,Felix has nothing to do with this. For Barcelona player's like Ferran Torres, Raphina aren't playing just the way fans expected but no plans to sell off.

[coinlocket$]

There are reports that Atlético Madrid are close to signing Memphis Depay from Barcelona in a deal worth around £3m. A mixture of injuries and form concerns have ruined his 2022-23 season so far. So instead of sitting on the bench, I think it’s a good move for him because he has struggled this season, making just four appearances and scoring one goal across 206 total minutes.

Yeah, he is close but not done yet, someone has not agreed yet according to Fabrizio Romano.

I learned that Harry Maguire may move to West Ham obviously he is not worth Manchester United bought him. Despite this, he has the chances of still being a fit as good defender in some other teams. Since he moving to West Ham on loan, I think there may be like an option to buy him. However, I feel that until Manchester United gets a replacement for him, he is not going anywhere just yet.

I always have the feeling that English players are always overly hyped whether in term of performance or price. The asked price in the market for them is at least twice their real value. Grealish and even Kane last year had a large amount that was asked for.
Back to Maguire, he is a normal player that might play good in one game and fail in 5 making his team at risk... He isn't fit to play with big teams imo.

[Velvet78]

ten Hag seems quite eager to keep Harry Maguire in the team now. West Ham's recent loan offer has been rejected by Manchester United side.

I think they did the right thing by not sending him in this transfer window. Because in that case they will need to fill his place with another defender. It is quite difficult to sign a solid defender in the middle of the season. Maybe they were going to rush things in the last days of the transfer window and make a bad move. I'm not a fan of Maguire though. I still expect him to leave at some point but it shouldn't be right now.

that's a very small amount of money. Barcelona was selling him in a big loss again after he bought from MU during the van gaal era. It seems depay was very tired of waiting for regular time to play caused by xavi didn't wanna try to waste an opportunity by not letting Lewandowski play. he has made a good decision if depay was really moving to the Atletico Madrid. Barcelona may be interested in such offer considering Barcelona was always selling its players in big loses like that. I hope that depay will be happy to play in the new team with new teammates too. He shall not waste more time in Barcelona.

Bayern Munich even left it late to acquire a new goalkeeper. Manuel Neuer was already too old. They need to adapt a younger goalkeeper to the team and raise him to be like Neuer for many years. However, Emiliano Martinez is not a suitable candidate for this. He is both old and irresponsible. It is difficult for him to adapt to the discipline of Munich.

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.

It would be great to do a lot of things with Dibu, if he goes to Bayern it would be a great experience for the team, if Dibu Martinez joins a Bayern where they quickly need a great goalkeeper, it's something I could contribute a lot, especially for the moments where they go to penalties, because he is a master saver, if Bayern hire him it would be great, they should give him the opportunity, I think he would get along very well with Muller, they are players who, when it comes to having games with a lot of Accuracy they do their good part, in view is how they covered a few penalties for France, and that means that they have a great level.

Chelsea are cornering Arsenal in the race for Ukrainian starlet Mykhailo Mudryk has joined Chelsea for a fee of 100 million on a 7-year contract.
Mykhailo Mudryk, a 22 year old player, is Shaktar Donestk's mentor and he is a star and has always been the best player at his club Shaktar, Mykhailo Mudryk has played 44 matches with 12 goals and 17 assists and has given 1 Ukrainian Cup trophy to Shaktar Donestk in 2018/ 2019.
in terms of the quality of the players who are positioned as midfielders, this is quite good, but for the price that is too expensive, I think Chelsea will have high hopes for his performance, this is a little burdensome.
he could possibly make his debut this weekend when Chelsea will face Liverpool.

I cannot deny that Mykhailo Mudryk is one of the best players who have a lot of quality, I am surprised that Chelsea now that they have great players and that they have enough line-ups that could scare any team cannot have good results, but now that they have Joao Félix and Mykhailo Mudryk it's time they could win, I can't deny that against Liverpool or any other team that touched them it will be a game that will entertain many, in particular I want Chelsea to win, I don't want it to drop any further, the points are here they are decisive and they need to finally achieve good results, this is gloq eu motivates anyone, Chelsea fans must be very anxious.

Reece James returns to full Chelsea training with Ben Chilwell and Mykhailo Mudryk

The defender has not played since lasting less than an hour of his comeback back against Bournemouth in December, which was his first game in 10 weeks after a knee injury.

It is very welcome news for Blues boss Graham Potter, who last week revealed James “was out on the grass, not training with the team but on his own”. On Wednesday, James further stepped up his rehabilitation.

I hope this report will become a reality, considering that actually I am very sorry to see Harry Maguire now because he is only sitting on the bench and that cannot be separated from his poor performance when he appeared in Manchester United's starting line-up. If West Ham United are interested in borrowing Harry Maguire, that's pretty good, at least he can get a main place in the West Ham squad later and can correct his mistakes at the start of the season.

I learned that Harry Maguire may move to West Ham obviously he is not worth Manchester United bought him. Despite this, he has the chances of still being a fit as good defender in some other teams. Since he moving to West Ham on loan, I think there may be like an option to buy him. However, I feel that until Manchester United gets a replacement for him, he is not going anywhere just yet.

Manchester United was bought him from Leicester City because they impress with his performance even he has help Leicester to gets Premier League trophy and his first season with Manchester United also quite good that he can adapt quickly with the manager strategy at that time but indeed i don't know what happend to Maguire because since last season he cannot return to his top performance again even Maguire did so many blunder which makes Manchester United lose and now there is no more place for him in Manchester United because Ten Hag will more likely to played Shaw and Varane or other duet Martinez and Varane on Manchester United defensive lines and they were very solid always performing well for every matches so left Manchester United will be the best option for him if Maguire want to save his career especially Manchester United has been allow him to looking for new clubs this January and maybe WestHam is the right club for him

I have the same thoughts about Harry Maguire. If he plays well in one game, he plays very badly in a few games.  I still think about the transfer fee that Manchester United paid him, why they paid so much. In my opinion, English football players are transferred with too much transfer fee. This is definitely not normal.

The Transfer Tavern; Chelsea: Blues could move for Moises Caicedo by the ‘end of the week
Source: https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/chelsea-fc-news/chelsea-blues-could-move-for-moises-caicedo-by-the-end-of-the-week/amp/

Chelsea could make a move for Brighton and Hove Albion star Moises Caicedo by the ‘end of the week’, according to transfer insider Dean Jones. The Premier League giants have reportedly made it their mission to sign a new central midfielder before the end of the window, and the 21-year-old has been identified as an ideal candidate.

CBS reporter Ben Jacobs recently revealed that Graham Potter’s side are exploring a deal for the Ecuadorian, who is valued at £75m, but could find a transfer difficult to negotiate as a result of his contract at The Amex not expiring until 2025.Caicedo has had an excellent 12 months, ranking in the top third of midfielders across Europe in four of the top five defensive metrics (FBRef), suggesting he could really add some steel and bite at the base of Potter’s midfield.

Chelsea football club are very serious in this transfer window, already they have spent about £400m and still looking to add more. Reports suggest they're now favorite to secure the signature of the Brighton midfielder ahead of 2 other premier league teams. I have watched Caicedo play and he's good at his role. So far he has started majority of Brighton matches this season and has been impressive.

Him coming to Chelsea will definitely be an additional strength to the team especially as it seems we have having difficulties at the midfield. Liverpool are also trying to get his signature bit it seems Brighton aren't in a hurry to let him go and will only do that at the right price which means if Chelsea were to secure this deal, we might be looking at another big money signing and at this rate I just hope the Financial Fair Play rules doesn't catch up on Chelsea because that'll obstruct other future plans in coming transfer window.

Barcelona may be interested in such offer considering Barcelona was always selling its players in big loses like that. I hope that depay will be happy to play in the new team with new teammates too. He shall not waste more time in Barcelona.

Depay can play better games in Atletico Madrid.  When we remember the times when he had problems in Barcelona from time to time and he was not played, we can say that he left behind a difficult period for him.  Depay is a player I like very much, but he couldn't hold on in Barcelona.  Atletico Madrid could be a team for him to be reborn.  I would love to see him showcase his individual talents.
