⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Joca97]

Frank Lampard should have even been sacked a long time ago, you look at how they Everton play and you know that they are not just going anywhere but down the league if he continues with the club..

I blame Chelsea for what Frank lampard is suffering now, he wasn't ready for this kind of pressure when Chelsea went to hire him from derby county. Lampard isn't ready to be coaching premier league clubs. He still has a lot to learn when it comes to football management especially player management, I don't think he has that yet. He should take a look at Ten Hag and Mikel Arteta, this guys spent years learning how to coach under top managers but Lampard didn't give himself that time instead he jumped into wanting to manage a top club the moment he saw the opportunity.

He should have rejected Chelsea offer and work on himself before taking that Job, can't he see how John Terry is busy perfecting his coaching skills, he should have been doing the same before exposing himself to the English media. He has his luck that he's loved by them if not they would had ended his career a long time ago. Steven G and F Lampard needs to take themselves off the spotlight and go learn properly how to be a top manager before returning to coaching top clubs.

I wouldn't blame Chelsea though because they wouldn't give him the job is he didn't make himself  available for selection. In my opinion I think Frank Lampard does not have enough experience for the English Premier league and I will suggest he takes a little more time, probably work under a serving manager to gain more experience before getting back to being his own boss.

Frank Lampard didnt prove himself over the last few years in the premier league. He should go down a few leagues and prove himself again. He just took pretty big bites and didnt do anything for those clubs especially for Everton that is in a terrible spot currently

Tottenham seem determined to finish the signing of Pedro Porro from Sporting in the coming days. He has a release clause worth 45 million euros and Sporting want them to pay the sum to be able to sign him.

He is a young and skilled right-back but he has been playing as a right midfielder for Sporting. It hasn't been even a year since he joined the team from Manchester City by the way. He has been a productive player as well by 3 goals and 11 assists in 25 games in total. There are quite many players for the right-back position at Tottenham now. So I wonder if Tottenham are planning to part ways with anyone there depending on the result of this transfer attempt.

It seems Sporting are standing strong on their decision for Tottenham to pay the actual amount of his release clause, it is only left for Tottenham to pay the requested amount or sort for an alternative but I feel the player is worth the hype and Tottenham should go ahead to make this signing because he is a young and talented player and will do well for Spurs.

It's been reported that Keylor Navas will join Nottingham Forest and they both have agreed to the deal, it's just that this is on loan as I know from other sources while Nottingham Forest is in discussions with PSG as terms and other costs may also be Keylor Navas will try out the Premier League this super tight one, but don't know how long it might last until the end of the season.
Still in the Negotiation stage with the club.

Was almost done for McKennie from Juventus to Leeds but Juventus wants the real money.
Leeds wants a loan plus obligation under circumstances, and Juventus wants to sell the player definitely, especially because they don't have a target if they sell him.

So I'm not sure anymore that he will leave in January.

There is another piece of news that brighton already rejected offers from arsenal. That means brighten has been rejecting offers for caicedo two times. Manchester united has been starting to take advantage of the brighton that already rejected two offers. Caicedo feel so desperate to see that its club was rejecting arsenal's offer. poor caicedo.lol Chelsea is now focusing to get a player that played on the benfica. It seems chelsea continues to talk with his agent. Manchester united may give more offer for brighton for caicedo. Caicedo itself really wants to join with arsenal.

[CryptoPanda]

According to Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal have submitted a bid worth €6o million for Brighton's Moises Caicedo but I also read later today that Brighton have rejected Arsenal's bid and insisting on keeping the player until the end of the season, hopefully Arsenal will return with am improved bid and see if Brighton will change their minds and agree to sell their star player before the end of the window.

Antony has been criticized because of his form now. He is a huge signing as his transfer fee was like 95 million euros. However people think that his performance is not good enough now. He has scored 7 goals and made 2 assists so far. I also hope to see him doing better than this in the remaining matches. Because Manchester United have brought him here by believing in his high productiveness. He was really impressive at Ajax in the previous season.

He started his journey with Manchester United decently but he isn't consistent these days. He needs to make more contribution especially in the Premier League while the team have an important chance to qualify for the Champions League.

Moisés Caicedo is a defensive midfielder and of course Brighton will appear quite brilliant because his role is so important in helping the defense. The price of 60 million euros seems quite expensive but considering he is one of the key players Brighton has, it seems that this price is not a problem for Arsenal. Apart from Arsenal, there is also their transfer market rival Chelsea who are interested in this player, but there has been no further news about the development of the information.

Yeah Moises Caicedo is another player of Brighton next to leave the club and I am glad Arsenal are interested in the player. Arteta last indicated that they need to work around a bit in midfield area as Elneny is injured and they need an option to fill that up and I feel they are making the right investment. Still 60 million is a bit over decent price tag but as long as he contributes well to the team it will not bother much. Let's see how this develops in coming days but I hope Arsenal bring a good defensive mid player.

That price didn't make brighten feel satisfied to let him leave the club. I meant that we must also aware that brighton already rejected such an offer. Brighton was thinking caicedo is worthy even more than 65 millions. It must be close to the 70. That's why arsenal's offer got rejected by brighton. I hope that MU will be offering like 70 millions. that will make brighton to let him leave from the club. that's very good to say that brighton was seeking for more money from the big club.
Caicedo was an important asset for brighton. The club will not let him leave with cheap price like that.

I think it's too fast for a goat.
35 years is indeed enough to retire but for Messi I don't think he will go that fast regardless of anything even if he wants to spend his old age I think he will still continue to play at least for the next few seasons.
Now with his current age he is still very fit and still able to continue to compete even though his skills are still above average so retirement is definitely not a hope for him now.

I think that Messi is a player who should not retire so soon, with the potential that he has a good age for him to retire at 40-41 years old, I don't see anything wrong with giving us 4 more years of demonstration of great football, in addition, the Argentina team needs him a lot, I also highlight that he is a fundamental piece for any team, I know that there are players who are relatively young like Haaland, Mbappé, but I think they still have not reached his level, he The closest is Mbappé, however he still needs to have a lot of maturity and be a little more humble, although he is a very, very good player.

Al Hilal ready to lure Messi to Saudi Arabia with a record contract

Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo could be set to add more chapters to their historic rivalry in Saudi Arabia with Al Hilal reportedly interested in signing the Argentine to a world-record contract.

Messi, who reportedly verbally agreed on a contract extension with PSG, is said to be considering his options elsewhere as well, with Saudi Arabia a likely destination.

In my very personal opinion, I would love for Messi not to stay at PSG or Barcelona, but in Arab fútbol.

This is what will definitely happen, regardless of anything I still feel it is one of the impossibility if Messi leaves so quickly especially as you said Al Hilal is even ready to make him the player with the highest salary again as well as revive the rivalry of the two goats in one competition.
Even if this doesn't happen, I think there are still many teams who want his services, even though he is now approaching 36 years old.

It is funny that Brighton rejected Arsenal offer, €60 million actually is a good offer for Moises Caicedo. This player only has a market value of around €38 million, Arsenal offer (€60 million) is almost double the market value. Although Moises Caicedo is a young midfielder, I think Arsenal no needs to improve his offer. If Brighton refused it, Arsenal is better to look for other midfielders. I believe Arsenal can get a better midfielder with €60 million.

[Swordsoffreedom]

Manchester United are still one of the interested teams in Osimhen. They are said to be preparing an offer worth 105 million euros for him. This deal might happen in the summer but I still have doubts about it. Because Manchester United might not be the only team interested in him then. He has already drawn the attention of other big teams also by his amazing performance at Napoli. He is already the most scorer in the league with 13 goals. He is a really good athlete at the same time.

I think a player like Osimhen wouldn't have much problem on adapting to the English Premier League also.

Manchester United are the club heavily wanting the service of the Napoli player, the way it goes it's as if Manchester United are also making him a top priority for the next transfer since he has pace and open up space for other players to score, he is a team player and the  coach will love that personality about him.

Good with his feet, good with ariel duel's, scores with the head and also helps close down plays for his opponents, been physically strong is also a plus for him for the Premier League, he will settle quickly.

And to Gordon, he's literally asked for a plea to leave Everton last season with a move to Chelsea but they turned down the move since he's was amongst them best player's.

@Distraction, I am hearing that Victor Osimhen is not a big priority for Manchester United right now. Actually, he is still a priority but probably not the top priority for Manchester United right now.

I think Manchester United has understood that Napoli is not likely to sell Victor Osimhen right now. I do not believe that the player would have faced too many problems to get settled in the English Premier League. But Napoli is certainly going to take a risk if they consider selling him right now. The way he is performing, it is in the best interest, if Napoli keeps him.

Malo Gusto to Chelsea is probably one of the good deals for the club with immediate backup player for Reece James who's having difficulty in games  due to severe injuries which made him to missed out the call up for the Qater 2022 world cup. Malo Gusto is joining Chelsea in June along side Christopher Nkunku who's a potential striker for the club. Olympique lyon will hold the player till June  according to the point agreement and Gusto already agreed personal terms with full agreement within the both parties. I'm looking forward to see him perform good with Chelsea.

So far, chelsea has been securing 7 players. Malo gusto bought from lyon with reasonable price which was around 30 millions include additional bonus. Meanwhile, chelsea is still targeting some players especially enzo fernandes.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal have submitted a bid worth €6o million for Brighton's Moises Caicedo but I also read later today that Brighton have rejected Arsenal's bid and insisting on keeping the player until the end of the season, hopefully Arsenal will return with am improved bid and see if Brighton will change their minds and agree to sell their star player before the end of the window.

I believe Arsenal can get a better midfielder with €60 million.

Caicedo has been making a statement if he wanna leave from brighton and take opportunity to play in the bigger club like chelsea and arsenal. Brighton must understand if caicedo wants to determine his own future. It's clear that if he was feeling so desperate after his club rejecting some big offers for him. 60 millions was a lot of money for brighton.

[rozak]

whatever the conditions at PSG, if Messi doesn't want to extend his contract with PSG, I think of course there is strong consideration from him.
problems with teammates or if indeed he wants to return to Barca, of course, that must be considered properly. especially with Barca's finances, of course, there would be better talks to reach a deal.

Lionel Messi has started to enter an old age at the age of 35 and it is only natural that if he retires, there must be someone who has the same expertise as Lionel Messi to replace his position. Lionel Messi has to consider his future well and doesn't have to spend all his time on football. At an old age, he should be able to spend time with his family.

but I'm sure retirement is not something that Messi will achieve shortly. after the news he didn't want to extend his contract with PSG, it seems that there are many rumors about Messi with other clubs. it was even rumored that Arab clubs were also interested in bringing Messi. and if it does, it will be good business for the Saudi league.

It's clear that if he was feeling so desperate after his club rejecting some big offers for him. 60 millions was a lot of money for brighton.

Moises Caicedo dropped a statement about his decisions to leave and also having the fans in his heart. He loved been in the club and he's time is up and he want to search for new opportunities elsewhere. He had dreams to pursue as he visioned to be one of the decorated player in Ecuador and have triggered record for the transfer fee in Brighton Albion. He's still young and got the strength to played in any club that meet up the bids for the player. Arsenal leading in the race to sign him but Chelsea also in the race, means a tough competition for gunners because the blues always end up with the players they desired.

Brighton know if Arsenal really need a midfielder and Arsenal is one of big club in Premier League, so Brighton want to force Arsenal to spend more money to bought Caicedo. But I don't understand why Arsenal is more prefer to Caicedo rather than Mac Allister, Mac Allister is also a midfielder and he's better than Caicedo. The difference is Caicedo is 3 olds younger than Mac Allister.

but I'm sure retirement is not something that Messi will achieve shortly. after the news he didn't want to extend his contract with PSG, it seems that there are many rumors about Messi with other clubs. it was even rumored that Arab clubs were also interested in bringing Messi. and if it does, it will be good business for the Saudi league.

It will depends on how much PSG and other champions league's club are willing to pay Messi salary, Messi will consider to join a champions league club with high salary rather than looking for high salary only. Except he has no option like Ronaldo where there's no good clubs are willing to spend a lot money to pay his salary.

I heard that from the latest news if al hilal would be offering messi two times more salary of CR7 if messi wanna move from EU to the Arabian league. I hope that's gonna be real. The competition between ronaldo and messi will continue for sure.
Messi will not be retiring from football very soon. Messi has lots of options available at this moment. The future of messi is not yet clear at this moment. there will be many things that can happen anytime just like some EU teams that rumored in talks with Messi about his future. that may give us surprise about what will be the new club of messi.

Even United that approached Napoli are certainly aware that this kind of deals aren’t proper to be done in this winter transfer window because of the impact of Osimhen. The deal can be agreed with the player moving in the summer but united can’t have him this January. To me I think Osimhen is best center forward that united should be going for because he suits the Ten Hag’s style. He has the physics to bully defenders, can hold up play, His aerial skills are good and more so he is pacey. Although the EPL is different to other leagues but I think he can perfectly fit into the team

The Hilal deal to Messi was rumored to around 300 million yearly and this is bad. The major question is whether Messi will like to leave Europe but another problem that may suffices should he decides to stay is; is there many European clubs that could afford his wages. To me No probably clubs like only PSG and Man city have that capability now to make this deal. A move to Barca doesn’t seems realistic to me since they are yet to be out of there financial Woes. Another destination probably possible for Messi is the MSL, with Beckham heavily interested in him and inter Miami having that cash to spend we might see him heading there.

But as it stands now I think Messi will renew his contract with PSG should he wants to remain in Europe

I have waited for a long time to see Chelsea getting a suitable replacement for Reece James in right back position so seeing  Chelsea working hard to successfully get this deal done makes me believe in Boehly's plans and project for the club. Malo Gusto will be a good addition for Chelsea, they only have to agree on fees with OL to get him sealed and signed.

Now when talking about Messi, actually it's not only European clubs, because at this time, Al Hilal is the most likely to offer another crazy offer for the goat, like what Al Nassr did.
Messi's condition was actually still there and gave the green light for an automatic contract extension for one season at PSG but it looks like this is changing after Galtier decided to move Mbappe up at the club as he is currently the vice-captain for PSG and of course this could be one of the things that matters. not easy to accept for goat.

Finally a breakthrough in the deal for Newcastle agreeing on a fee with Everton for Anthony Gordon for £40 million, all necessary papers ready yo be signed and sealed and medical also scheduled to take place withing 24hours, this is good news for Newcastle, Anthony Gordon will add more fire power to Newcastle's attack going forward and give them more options in the midfield.
