⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[abhiseshakana]

Massive decision from Manchester United
And Youri Tielemans will be a great addition it will be a good idea if they can also further the contract
He is already out of contract June the deal with bloster the performance and productivity and of the midfielder's

He is one of the midfielders who is quite good and it has been proven before when many clubs wanted the services of this player.
and this is also supported because it is true that now Manchester United need a midfielder also considering that Eriksen is currently injured and is likely to be quite a long time now considering that the ankle injury clearly needs time to recover.
If indeed this works then Youri Tielemans will be pretty good ammunition for Manchester United.

I think Youri Tielemans is a potential midfielder. Moreover, he is still 25 years old, so he still has time to improve. Joining a big team like Man United would be a great step for Youri Tielemans, at least he will be motivated to push himself to be even better because obviously, it is not easy to get a place in the first team, and Tielemans should put effort into it.

Arsenal is also reportedly interested in signing Tielemans and for that, Man United must move quickly if they don't want their targets to be taken over by other teams.

Lukaku has reach to his top performance in Inter when Conte train this team so probably he feel with reunited with Conte he will be able to performing well again but Tottenham has Kane and Son which is where their performance is much better than Lukaku in Premier League so in my opinion moved to Tottenham is risky for his career because possibly he will spend his time on the bench because being an substitution player for those players

On the other hand although with Inter Lukaku has spending more time with injuries but apparently Inter still trust him and they hopes Lukaku can find his shape again that's why Inter thinking possibilities to extended his loan duration but they want cut off the price because Lukaku's performance is not as expected

Exactly, Lukaku is not going to even probably get good enough chances to prove himself in Tottenham. Because there are obviously better players for the job. Players who have actually proved themselves in the English Premier League.

So, I don't think that among all these players, Lukaku is going to be the best choice. And it is also true that his performance has certainly dropped. He is someone who had a lot of potentials, but moving to the English Premier League, has proven to be detrimental to his career.

[Minecache]

It is very shameful for Chelsea to have all this players and still no better performance and they continue to sign in more players.  Can all this players participate in every game, not possible.  Some players most times will be on the bench and it can affect skills of players always sitting on bench.

I don't think is a shame to say, Chelsea is one of the best clubs in England but what they're going through now will be a thing of the past because when you're desperate to get results you might get nothing but failure and disappointment, they want quick result which is coming from the owner but that's not how to get positive result in football. They're struggling with injuries and they're still getting in more players, is good to get in more players but the question is can you manage them when the time comes?
 The manager knows best on how to control the team, is best to sell some players that ain't productive instead of keeping good players on the bench the best thing is to make a change by removing those ones that are more than 30yrs plus (the ones that are not doing well). By bringing fresh legs into squad they might make it to top 6.

I think in this case no one will think of Chelsea as a small team because regardless of anything they are still a big team in the EPL but what is highlighted here is not the small or big team but about their current performance.
They are a big team but until now they haven't made themselves big in terms of their current form.
Especially now that they will try to hijack the players Arsenal want again and at high prices. Obviously this is another rush for them especially they already have so many midfield players now.
Their actions this season have been very sloppy but they don't seem to care much about that.

Chelsea is just buying players right now. And I hardly think that they actually care about future performance. They just want to bring players into the squad. But they are not getting the performance that they should get or that the fans are expecting.

Are you honestly feel like they are just trying to look at what the other successful clubs are trying to do? Just like Arsenal has been very successful this season. That's why they are trying to hijack the players that Arsenal is getting into the team. And they are also being successful in doing that. I hope they come up with an idea of their own instead of just running the club and the team with borrowed ideas.

[Gosgosking]

Tottenham are working very hard to put their team in other and to complete the deal of Pedro porro.  This is a good developments for Tottenham,  let's expect to see Tottenham in a stronger form in a short time. Spur fans would love to see Pedro as part of the squad.

[redsun114]

Chelsea is having a very big problem and they can only be better after this season. I have not lost hope in Potter. I know Chelsea will have a better team with the kind of transfers they are signing now. It only takes patience and trust to believe the system and have trust till things are better. Meanwhile Chelsea should be very patient with their coach

No manager worth his salt would lose this much with a team like this. It doesn't matter about chemistry, it doesn't matter about tactics or system or anything like that. He was given a team that is much much better than Tuchel had and still getting terrible results. It was always a terrible decision to fire Tuchel, but we are seeing they weren't ready with another manager neither.

I hope that he gets fired by the end of the season or maybe even earlier and they use an interim one, so they could end up with doing something much better later on with a much better manager. Mourinho is said to be considered but not sure if that will work better for them or not.

[fuguebtc]

I'm starting to think that the rhythm of the game in the Premier League doesn't suit Lukaku, so I doubt he'll be at his best if he returns to the Premier League. In his previous team, he failed to make a good contribution even with a large transfer fee. I understand one of the reasons was the injury he had, but after he was able to return to playing he didn't return to the form he had when he played for a team outside the Premier League.

The style of play that is fast and high tension doesn't really suit Lukaku and that has been proven when he had difficulty adapting to the previous 2 big clubs (Chelsea and Manchester United). For Everton maybe it's a little different because even though he's still in the EPL he's not being demanded much more especially with his not too many schedules but for big clubs it's definitely different.
At the moment Tottenham might still be able to with Conte's presence there but things like this won't go well either because Tottenham can also be said to be one of the big clubs and has always been a dark horse in the EPL so it seems difficult for Lukaku here.

Lukaku is not known for his pace. He is much more popular because he has great physicality and he is someone who has great finishing, including the header. We know that the English Premier League is very fast-paced. And I believe that is why Lukaku is not being able to perform well in the English Premier League. I mean he wasn't able to. He came in with these expectations for the English Premier League. But he wasn't able to deliver. I think he's going to be able to play better in the Italian league or any other League where the pace is not as important as the English Premier League.

[AverageGlabella]

I hope Youri Tielemans picks the red devils just imagine the midfield we would have. It would be the best in the league even better then Manchester City and I think we will see a signing up front too. Ten Hag should have no doubters he removed the toxicity of Ronaldo without any thought and he turned the team around in a matter of months and turned us into a team that is feared again. He bought one of the best defensive midfielders in the world and now he is going to get Tielemans who will just take us to the next level.

So, I don't think that among all these players, Lukaku is going to be the best choice. And it is also true that his performance has certainly dropped. He is someone who had a lot of potentials, but moving to the English Premier League, has proven to be detrimental to his career.

Lukaku is still a player that is highly coveted by several big European teams, even though this season, in my opinion, Lukaku has not found his best form at Inter Milan after he missed many matches at Inter Milan due to an injury that happened to him. But he became a trending topic in the summer window because apart from Tottenham interest in him, the names Newcastle United, Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich and Juventus were rumored to be interested in signing Lukaku.

But all of that is up to Chelsea to release Lukaku to which team because Chelsea is still the owner of this player from Belgium. Maybe Chelsea will not want to lose in this case for sure a high price will be their choice to let Lukaku go.

Chelsea are more interested in signing Enzo Fernandez from Benfica than Caicedo, unless they suddenly choose to hijack Arsenal's deal again if Enzo is not released to them. Arsenal are more Interested in Caicedo to add to our Midfield, and Arteta seems to want him before the transfer window closes since Elneny is out due to injury, Arsenal will make a third bid for him at a record fee to see if it will be sufficient to force Brighton to sell him to us.

I read the news that Chelsea is negotiating the transfer fees of Enzo and they already bid £105.6m. Unfortunately, Chelsea seems to pay at least €120m for Enzo's transfer fees. TBH, €120m is too expensive for a midfielder like him who has a market value of around €55m. But if Chelsea is really interested in him, Chelsea may pay €120m. However, I think Chelsea is better to look for another midfielder if they must spend €120m. With that huge money, they can get 2 top midfielders.

Manchester United are on the move to get Youri Tielemans since Eriksen is out due to injury too, but I do not think they will be able to secure him as a replacement without other clubs battling them for it. Arsenal may look his way too if Caicedo deal hits a brick wall.

Youri Tielemans is a good option, he is a strong and skillful player. But he is the main player of Leicester City, I assume it will be difficult to negotiate with Leicester management to release him. Unless Man United wants to spend big money, it seems difficult to sign Youri Tielemans at the end of this January transfer window.

[Distraction]

I'm very surprised with the news that Cancelo is joining Bayern Munich on loan. Because there is no meaning in Manchester City to let one of their crucial players go so easily. I know that they have Sergio Gomez as an alternative left-back but it is still not a sensible move. Cancelo has been one of the key players in defense. He has been more like a offensive back actually and he has scored lovely goals in addition to his contribution with his passes. This is going to be a very favourable deal for Bayern Munich and they have an option to buy him also.

This is one of the really wrong moves for Manchester City while they are trying to achieve the Champions League title. But hopefully they will make up for this.

Regardless of who bought it, their price still doesn't make sense for Chelsea, who have spent a lot of money on transfers this season.
I think they even wanted a performance boost but it was too hasty. Even though the price of 100 million seems to be something that is quite common now, it is still a lot of money to buy 1 player who is still not sure that his performance will be good at Chelsea.

[kawetsriyanto]

True, Moises Caicedo made this statement as his gratitude to the Brigton club and its fans. But when he was still young and there were big teams interested in signing him, of course it was an opportunity for him to make his career better in the future. Until now there has been no official release from Arsenal or Chelsea regarding who has managed to sign Moises Caicedo's contract in the current transfer market.

It is a too early statement, as far as I know no official statement about his move. So, Moises Caicedo actually should keep calm and never make any statement before his current club and his next club make an official statement about his transfer. It is very unfortunate that Caicedo alreday made the statement.  

I think Arsenal is more serious to sign Caicedo, Chelsea focuses on negotiating for Enzo Fernández. So, I assume Arsenal is the favorite team to sign Caicedo, especially they really need him because of the lack option on midfield players.

Did anyone hear that Arsenal are also considering getting Chelsea midfielder Jorginho incase this their plan to get the player from Brighton does not work. Many people argue that Jorginho style of play does not fit the club and maybe they are about to make a mistake. I like to have people's opinion here, do you think that he can play well in Arsenal if he is signed?

Yeah , reported by fabrizio romano as well ...  that chelsea open talks to sell jorginho as chelsea confident will get the enzo fernandez deal done in the next hours. This is a very win win situation for chelsea , getting some fee from jorginho transfer rather than waiting for his contract ended in 6 months.

Arteta is jorginho big fan , so that's gonna be a very subjective transfer .

I heard that arsenal is very close to signing him as a new player from Chelsea. Arsenal used jorginho as a new option for caicedo once birhgton was still reluctant to let caicedo leave from the club. Arsenal has a very short time to think about that. i meant the deadline to sign jorginho is very short and he has 6 months contract remaining with Chelsea. Chelsea will not let him go with small fees too. I hope that jorginho will be moving to the arsenal. I prefer to see new midfielder in the club rather than him. Kante is also coming back soon from his injury

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.

This news was not convincing to me. Messi is still very good. He is the star of Paris Saint-Germain FC. I think this news is like the viral of Al-Hilal football team. Of course they have the money to transfer Messi. But Messi will not go to the Saudi Arabian Pro League. We all know this very well. Because he still has credits in the European leagues. He is not like Ronaldo. Maybe two years later he will go to the Saudi Arabian Pro League to earn money. But there is no reason for him to go there today.

I think Messi will return to Barcelona at the end of the season and leave football there. He will not go to Asia or America.

These two star players have different conditions, in which Ronaldo left Europe to go to the Arab League (Al-Nassr) because so far no one has signed him in Europe, but star players like Lionel Messi are still very much in demand among Europe, Lionel Messi is one of PSG team candidate who has a high performance game, after winning the world cup match yesterday we are not sure that Messi will move to the Arab League.

Maybe the media crew made the news that Messi would go to Al-Hilal, and I think this is just news Rumors made up by the media crew.

Well yes, they are just rumors, but if this happens, the contract would be a super millionaire, it is something that can be seen above CR7's salary and that would be a bombshell because if they have Messi and CR7 again in the same league, I think that most of the world will go to follow them, and it is true with so many fans that Messi has, they will not hesitate to catch up on this Saudi league, and I think that if they achieve something like that, football will take a great turn. Can you imagine all of us watching the matches of that league? It would be something exceptional, it would be a very fall in love development of football, and I like this, because good football technique expands and we saw something like this in the World Cup with Saudi Arabia.

Exclusive: Fabrizio Romano confirms Lionel Messi’s ‘verbal pact’ amid Al Hilal links

Lionel Messi’s future is set to remain intertwined with PSG’s, as has been revealed in an exclusive update from Fabrizio Romano.

The Argentine had been linked with a switch to Al Hilal – potentially joining rival Cristiano Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia – with the Daily Mail going as far to report that the club is prepared to offer the midfielder a deal amounting to $350m per year.

“I’ve been saying the same since December: PSG and Lionel Messi have a verbal pact to continue together,” the reporter said.

“Both parties are just waiting to meet (it could take weeks or months) to discuss the length of any potential new contract, salary and more details but they want to continue together.

“So I expect Messi to stay at PSG; I’m not aware of any other negotiations taking place.”

I don't see messi being as greedy as cristiando ronaldo, moreover messi is not very old yet anyone can see that messi's moves are still the same, also messi's dribbling quality is still far superior in relation to many players , while in the case of cristiano ronaldo he started by not participating in manchester united friendly matches in the pre season games, and this meant that the manchester united coach did not put ronaldo to play and with that ronaldo's skills declined a lot to the point of having a bad performance in the world cup, and again he went to complain about the coach which made him stay on the bench, while messi thinking about having some cases reported that he also complained about the barcelona coach, the one who destroyed the barcelona he was before xavi, messi still has 100% of his active skills, he doesn't need to go play in arabia where they have low quality soccer

Well I think that in this case I don't know who else would have an audience, although the Argentine is already a world champion, I think he could achieve what he wants, it doesn't matter, he can do it but I instead of Messi who has already achieved many things and what every player dreams of achieving, I would do and take the step of leaving for this football that is quite eloquent, also with that it would give them more fame and make them grow much more, because the demonstration they gave in the World Cup was a warning that they are going Very good path, in part CR7 managed to accept for that same reason because he wants to make that football grow, most of his fans support him wherever he goes, now if Messi goes for that football it would be crazy .

I really don't understand how Chelsea plans to fulfill the FFP rules. These rules are a joke, yes, but still something like this should not be possible.
If they actually do buy Fernandez, they will be near 600 million euros in net spend since Boehly took over, and they almost certainly won't have CL profits next season.

I wonder what's going to happen to Potter - this team is too expensive for such poor results.

Chelsea have been the most active club in recruiting players since being taken over by Boehly with spending more or less as you mentioned if Fernadez really arrived at Stamford Bridge. Can we see next season how Chelsea's development under Graham Potter.

At the moment Potter has not really seen success in providing good results for Chelsea. I want to say Potter's success or failure is not this season, but next season with the amount of spending that Boehly has spent.

The transfer that will be very successful in my opinion is the transfer made by Eddie Howe against Anthony Gordon from Everton.
Newcastle in terms of player transfers are not too incessant, but quite satisfying results.

In that you are absolutely right, for your part I think that these things are more convenient when things are analyzed from a more practical sense, because Chelsea acquired world-class players, youngsters, such is the case of Joao Félix, one of the best , that is something that they have to write down to Poter to do things differently, on the other hand they are waiting to do something better with one last contract, I don't know if I'm wrong, but I think it will be like that, with Everton and Newcastle It is another case, in my personal opinion I think that Newcastle will have a great impact if they have good players, and I hope that is the case, as long as they are relevant and help the team is the best.

Newcastle United confirm outgoing loan deal ahead of Tuesday’s transfer deadline

Newcastle United youngster Niall Brookwell has secured the first loan move of his career after joining National League North promotion contenders Darlington for the remainder of the season.

The former Liverpool academy - who is out of contract at the end of the season - moved to Tyneside in the summer of 2020 and has been a regular feature at Under-21s level over the last two and a half years. However, he will now get an opportunity to test himself at a senior level as he joins Darlington’s bid for promotion into the National League.

Mikel Arteta getting the deal done for Jorginho will be one of the good news for gunners as they will reinforce their midfield with one of the keyplayer in Italy and Chelsea. Chelsea demanifor good bids from the gunners if they're really serious in bringing him over to emirate, they will rushed and meet up demands for the player they want. N'golo Kanye returning to the team after a long term injury would really affect his performance on the pitch negatively. He's been out of the game for so long, trying to cope better will take more time than expected.

Newcastle in terms of player transfers are not too incessant, but quite satisfying results.

Chelsea wants to keep bringing in Enzo Fernández with an expensive transfer even though some say it will be in installments but for me Chelsea is too insistent on this Benfica player and Boehly seems to play a role in this stage of negotiations, maybe we will see in the next few days this announcement from Chelsea?

Not only that, Chelsea will also release several players such as Hakim Ziyech and Jorginho but there is no definite agreement yet, but for Hakim Ziyech it seems he will go to PSG with an offer of 17 million EUR if I'm not mistaken.

By bringing in a number of Graham Potter players, you have to be able to change from now on, because they are currently not bad, so with that many players there must be an increase after the budget efforts spent by Boehly have been a lot.

[Josefjix]

Moises Caicedo would suit in good for the gunners but brighton Albion reluctancy on the bids are slowing everything down for the Ecuadorian who's keen on leaving the team. Good player required more efforts for them to get signed, there's every reason for the seagulls to keep him for next season because they have more of their keyplayers this season to clubs in the premier league. First it was Marc Cucurella to Chelsea, Second was Trossard to arsenal, and the same club is still fighting to bring Moises Caicedo from the team, which would be a hard time for the gunners.

[Despairo]

Not only that, Chelsea will also release several players such as Hakim Ziyech and Jorginho but there is no definite agreement yet, but for Hakim Ziyech it seems he will go to PSG with an offer of 17 million EUR if I'm not mistaken.

If Chelsea agree to accept 17 Millions Euro to let Ziyech join to PSG, Potter is really stupid since he doesn't know about business. Ziyech's market value currently is 22 Millions Euro, so it mean Chelsea will not earn anything if they sold Ziyech.

Jorginho is really important for Chelsea, even he's play for central midfielder or central defensive midfielder, but he has a sense to score a goal. He's quite unique although he can't compete with Ngolo Kante which is Kante is really a pure midfielder who's have clean tackle and fast to create counter attack strategy.

Still, with the current Chelsea's midfielder, there's no one have same level like Jorginho. It's a huge lose if Chelsea sold him to Arsenal.
