⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

I agree maybe Leeds isn't such a bad team, but they are not as good as one could hope for. It will be a big challenge for him to play in this team, because Leeds themselves are in a difficult condition, so his arrival may be expected to have a big impact on improvement for them. But for Mckennie it will not be that easy to do his best here, because the style of play and that of his team-mates will definitely be very different.

It will be difficult to adjust a bit at first but its just a bit of time and I think McKennie wouldn't face much difficulty once he settles in. He has experience and the quality so it shouldn't be an issue according to me. Leeds however need some good defensive players to face their opponent attacks. They have conceded a lot of goals so far this season and that is what I think is the major issue of Leeds right now.

Even if Leo wants to leave Psg, it shouldn't relate to Mbappe given too much powers of will or decisions. I don't think that those are the problems of Leo. If it were to be Neymar, I'll agree with you that he is wrestling power with Mbappe, but Leo does not seem to be interested.
At the age of Leo what is good for him is a league like the French league where there won't be too much pressure on him in the midfield. He needs not to be stressed again in matches.

Messi became in the public spotlight after news broke out that he did not want to extend his contract at PSG, a number of possibilities began to be linked as a reason for not wanting to extend the contract. According to the news I read on the Marca website written by Spanish journalist Gerard Romero, one of the reasons Messi was reluctant to extend his contract with PSG was because the club treated Mbappe very special.
Galtier decision to place Mbappe as vice captain of the team sparked Messi disappointment as the club did not take into account his existence and the contribution he had made to the club. Moreover, he is the captain of the Argentina national team, which has just won the World Cup trophy.

I don't doubt that journalists will write that. I know what journalists can do. Even if I don't know, with the recent event of Ronaldo and Manchester United, I have known what the journalists can do and undo.
They are ready to keep Messi on the top spot of the media till this year ends. They will know how to link him to a new club even if he just signed for another ub yesterday.
I don't want to believe that Messi is interested in wrestling power and position with small Mbappe

Chelsea has win the race with Manchester United to gets Lyon player Malo Gusto and it say Gusto had personal agreement with Chelsea and in the near future his agent will went to London to talking about the further steps for his transfer and Gusto position on Lyon is right back and after Reece James got injured and have to rested for more than two months Chelsea indeed required more players on this position and with the arrival of Gusto he probably can covered James position and with his current age 20 years old Gusto already playing regularly with Lyon and Manchester United and Chelsea seeing his potention but this time he is more likely to choose Chelsea as his next club

Gusto has been confirming his choice to pick chelsea over manchester united but the problem is chelsea and lyon have not yet agreed on an agreement in the transfer. Chelsea wants gusto to come to the stamford bridge as soon as possible after gusto was already bought by Chelsea but lyon wants to take him until the end of the season as a loan from Chelsea. Chelsea didn't agree with such agreement, that's why his transfer may take more time caused by Chelsea and lyon have not yet gotten agreement about his transfer.

Conor Gallagher has considering to leave Chelsea this winter because Potter didn't trust him to played regularly although he was transfered from Crystal Palace this summer but he hasn't feel comfortable stayed at Chelsea but it doesn't take long time for him to gets new clubs because reported Newcastle and his former club Crystal Palace also interested want to bought him even possibly Newcastle will win the race because this club is very serious want to gets him and this winter Chelsea was very active to buy players i think if Gallagher stayed at Chelsea he cannot gets more minutes to play and moved to other clubs could be wise decision for him

Conor Gallagher has always been a Chelsea player, he wasn't bought or transferred from crystal palace to Chelsea instead he returned from a loan which he was on. Conor Gallagher is an excellent player and I prefer him to mason mount since he has been over feeling himself lately, Gallagher on the other hand wants to work each time he's on the field. He going in for tackle and can take one for the team quite easily unlike Mount that now plays like he's some kind of superstar and from what I'm hearing, he's refusing to sign a contract extension at the club.

Instead of Chelsea letting go of Conor Gallagher then Mason Mount should be sold and Gallagher takes his roles fully, Mason mount can fetch us some good money as he's an overhype English player. Conor Gallagher has so much potential in him that if he gets half of the playing time that Mason Mount gets, he'll be phenomenal at the midfield also he has to be given full control of the attacking midfield role just as he was given at Crystal palace then he'll be outstanding in every game that he is features in.

With Mo Elneny out injured, it does look like Arsenal are looking to strengthen in the midfield. They have done with fixing the defense and the attack but the midfield is the concern now considering the position they’re in.  Arteta and Edu both have a big plan in the summer and they don’t want to complicate things. Imo they want to bring Declan Rice in the summer but they can’t risk not signing anyone this January because they’re short in the midfield. So they’re contemplating on getting someone on loan for now or signing someone outrightly. It’s a risky decision to make but I trust them to be wise.

[hyudien]

I know some people here are afraid of how much Chelsea is spending on new players, however I bring good news, at least from one player.
We have already commented here about Andrey Santos who was signed for 18 million pounds, and even I thought the price was high.
But check out how he is playing with the under-20 team of Brazil.

For now, Chelsea is in the stage of repairing the club, including the composition of the players. With this season's extravagant purchases at least the results are in. Maybe for some games it still doesn't look efficient, Chelsea needs fresh air and the solution is to speed up the change of coaches so that this can feel more promising. Everyone now doubts the quality of Graham Potter and since he was at Chelsea how many games has he won?

That is Chelsea biggest problem, if only buying players is focused but the coach is still unable to make changes, it means that the fault lies with the manager himself.

[Distraction]

Joao Cancelo is on the radar of some teams apparently and one of these teams is said to be Milan now.

However I'm not seeing any reason for Cancelo to leave Manchester City now. He is enjoying his game and he is one of the mainstays in their defense line. Manchester City are in a much better condition than Milan also therefore I don't think this news is real. Cancelo's current contract ends in 2027 and I think he will stay at least until that date as long as Manchester City don't want to replace him with another player. Cancelo is a very special back by the way as he is making a huge contribution in the attacking line also. There is no reason for Manchester City to give up on him as a result.

No, I think Messi can still return to Barcelona to play for his childhood club before retiring there as the club legend.

Players returning to their so called childhood clubs is a bad idea because all those beautiful memories he left could be erased and we saw what happened with Cristiano. Maybe that Saudi Arabia deal is in the pipeline after all because his playing days are almost over and what better way of ending it by getting a fat pay check.

Well as far as i know, Messi did not really had to leave Barcelona at all. It was just the case, that Barcelona could not afford to pay Messi his extremely high salary. They have paid him around 550 M€ for a 5 year contract, that are 110 M€ per year, which is probably 5 times more than other world class players are earning. That was the reason why Barcelona has such extremely high debts now and is still in danger of going bankrupt.
Messi could have stayed back then but of course for a salary that would have only been a fraction of the old one. So it was not like he was forced to leave or something. He just wanted to continue to earn ridiculously high amounts of money and he could do that PSG.

I have already said it, the major concern of players is to continue to earn highly ridiculous amount of money. I first asked this question that if Messi loved Barcelona that much, why not take some pay cut.
The same thing happened to Ronaldo. When the bid from Saudi came, I told people that Ronaldo will go for the money but they said that Ronaldo will like to play only in Europe and possibly in the Champions league. But today we have seen where Ronaldo is.

There are speculations suggesting Kylian Mbappe may be moving to Manchester City but I don’t believe that will be realistic in this transfer window. There’s been no statement from the coach or club regarding this so until an official statement is made by either parties, I will not get excited. I feel these are all rumours going round the media to pull attention. Imagine having Mbappe and Haaland in the same thing just like having Ronaldo and Messi on the same team lol I won't like to see that happening for the sake of competition.

Come on, Are you saying that Messi is still a Barcelona player...

Kylian mbappe is going nowhere as it stands, PSG already offered him one lifetime contract which he agreed, he's the highest earner in the club and Ligue 1. He's tough winger with good footing on the ball, Galtier key player in his project for the Parisians. Rumors circulating but it's totally untrue about the move, Pep Guardiola have no plans to bring the France international over to city. He's satisfied with erling Haaland in the frontlines with good aides like Phil Foden and Riyad Mahrez. Manchester city is strong team and they're aiming to bring more youngsters to the team.

[Captain Corporate]

Mbappe is nearly the highest paid player anywhere. I am sure Ronaldo is above him already, and maybe there must be a few players here and there. But in no competitive team in the world is there a player that is paid as much as Mbappe. Which means that there is no team in the world that can beat PSG and still manage to pay one player more than Mbappe. Because if you want to build a good team, you share that wealth around normally, you don't pay a single player that much, and even though there are teams that pay more than Mbappe's salary to their players, none of them do it to a single player if they want to be good. PSG manages to not only pay Mbappe that much, but still field a very competitive team at the same time. Unless the team starts to be terrible in the future, he will stay until he retires depending on if the contracts keep being this big.

This is Misleading because you can’t blame Messi for leaving Barca. People accusing him of not signing a new contract because he doesn’t wants to take a pay cut are just falsely accusing him. According to many reputable media reports, Messi had agreed to take a 50% pay cut off his salary and when it was time to sign the contract Laporta; the club president opted against it because even that won’t save them. Barca were suffering from the pandemic crisis and also the large spending on new transfers then. The club was left in shambles by Bartomeu. Even when Messi left Barca still had same issues and players like De Jong are still suffering. There are many things that are considered when we a say a club is in a financial crisis not just lowering wages of the players. Messi did nothing and even Barca had to give him a befitting farewell. Had it been he had issues will they do that?

[CLS63]

After parting ways with Depay Barcelona are planning to sell Ferran Torres as well.

It is like Barcelona are eager to sell every player who can play in the centre-forward role too.    This isn't a good sign for Barcelona at all because Lewandowski's alternatives are leaving the team one by one. Of course I don't mean that they can play like Lewandowski. But in his absence Barcelona will need a proper striker to fill his place. Otherwise they have serious problems on finishing their dangerous attacks with goals. The Getafe match can be given as an example.

This is a false News, and if Mbappe would like to leave PSG, Manchester City isn't he's favorite club to move to, rather he would prefer moving to he's dream club Real Madrid. For now base on the current news there's no indication of such Mbape link to City.

Imagine having Mbappe and Haaland in the same thing just like having Ronaldo and Messi on the same team lol I won't like to see that happening for the sake of competition.

No miracle will happen more than what has happened having Mbappe currently playing along side Lionel Messi and Neymar in Paris St German,  Assuming if the rumuor is real and Mbappe moved to Manchester City to pare with Harland in the club.

In fact, he was forced to leave (by the way, I think you are mistaken about the size of his salary - it seems Barcelona paid him less than 100 million a year), because of the laws (either trade union or Spanish labor laws) that do not allow to reduce wages employee by more than 50% per year. Barcelona didn't have the money to pay even half of his previous salary - leaving was the only option.

It is just a rumor circulating around,  no statement from a reliable source about this news. Mbappe won't be bad for Manchester City,  I'm am very sure he is a dream player Pep Guardiola would like be part of is squad. If Manchester City eventually have an experience player like Mbappe add to Haaland who is doing great for Manchester City it will be hard for Manchester City not to win the EPL I just hope the rumor becomes real for Manchester City.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Everton are interested in Arnautovic for their attacking line. On the other hand he is quite old now - 33. I don't know how much they can get efficiency from him about scoring goals.

After selling Richarlison to Tottenham, Everton have made a quite good amount of money like €58m from his fee in fact. I think they could have used this money also to find a solid striker. Of course I know that it isn't easy to convince a very big striker to come here while they are having problems. But they could have still found a better striker than Maupay. He couldn't score even a few goals so far. Calvert-Lewin is also very unproductive. He made a good duo with Richarlison in the past but he isn't good now.

It's very unrealistic to happen in the current transfer window Kylian Mbappe will definitely stay at PSG because he has been paid handsomely for his current club, however the media always want to attract attention from players who are currently popular, I also believe Manchester City will be able to paid a heavy price for Kylian Mbappe but for now this rumor is only limited to unclear media reports.
On the other hand, I also see disputes between Kylian Mbappe, Messi and Neymar. To be honest, this news is familiar because it is the media that always raises this rumor.
