⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[CLS63]

Milan are trying their best to extend Leao's contract now. There have been some speculations like they are having difficulties in doing this but let's see.

It won't be easy for Milan to convince him to extend already now. Because Milan are having a really bad season comparing to the previous one. Their defending is horrible and they have started to lose many points. This can push them out of top four at the end of the season. This means that Leao might be eager to leave to play in the Champions League. Even if Milan qualify for it Leao might still make up his mind to leave for a bigger team. Maybe he is already waiting for an official offer from such team.

Leao has a contract until the summer of 2024, so even if Milan falls out of the top 4, he will play in Milan for another year even without the Champions League (and of course, if some club does not pay compensation for him). Now Milan is trying to convince him to sign a contract until 2026, but the reality is that since they are interested in the player, they will either have to raise his salary or even add a signing bonus.

Damn, Chelsea finished the transfer window with 570 million euros net spend.
Enzo Fernandez is a good player but 120 million seems way over the line.

8 new players in this transfer window alone - somebody's been playing too much Football Manager.
I wonder where will all these players get playing minutes if Chelsea misses out on European spots.

For one reason or another, they are just paying way too much for every single player that they got, and they are just spending like there is no tomorrow. I do not think that they could get any success at all this year, looking at how they are right now, it's obvious that they are not really that good at all and they will probably not end up with anything good in the long run.

However, one thing is for sure, we are talking about something that is getting a bit more attention in the long run if they could find a better manager and a better system with the same roster. That part is good, this year is basically just a bad year, and they will stay like this, but their future is bright.

When it comes to Rafael Leao I believe Milan have a very tough task to do. Because according to speculations Manchester City are already interested in signing him in the summer. Even hearing about this would be a reason for Leao to hold Milan's offer for a contract extension. Leao is still very young of course but he is very skilled now. I would understand if he becomes impatient about playing for a top team that are a title contender in the Champions League especially.

Manchester City are trying everything they can to win that title so they would like to add a player like Leao also to the team.

Milan will not risk keeping him this summer if he refuses to sign a new deal. Getting two numbers between € and m is always better than 0.
I agree that Milan this season is not that interesting as the previous one and this tendency is seen in every Italian club from years. After Juve dominance, no team was able to maintain the first position more than a single year.

like the rumors circulating it looks like Leao will accept a new contract offer from Ac milan, but the situation could change if ac milan continues to worsen their performance in serie A and fails to qualify for the champions league next season, of course this will make it difficult for ac milan to seduce leao  agree to a new contract.

Ac milan in the winter transfer window did not move to buy new players, ac milan only brought in Devis Vasguez in this transfer market. I think Ac milan is in a financial crisis so ac milan is relatively not buying new players in this winter window.

You only opportunities like this once in a while, I believe Rafael leao will be  tempted to join Manchester city if the chance presents itself unless Ac Milan will tie him down with a lucrative deal better than what Manchester city is offering,  when Manchester city comes for you it becomes very difficult to resist and in the point Rafeal has won the Italian seria A maybe he will want to try a new League and have a new challenge or maybe he will have the dream of playing in the premier League or a team like Manchester city so AC Milan really have a work to do if they are to keep on of their best players in the person of Rafeal.

Thomas partey has been  part of the team, and there's no way jorginho Will replace him immediately, I think Arteta has a lot of decision to make in the team starting up.

Jorginho's arrival does not pose a threat to Thomas Partey's position; rather, the duo will form a strong midfield. Arsenal is indeed building a title-winning team, and I believe they will do so this season. Jorginho is extremely fortunate to have joined Arsenal, who are currently in first place, from a team that is currently in tenth place. I believe Arsenal now has the best team to win the league this season without much difficulty.

The arrival means nothing but rather it's a good addition to Arsenal even if Jorginho has some. Weakness when it comes to age and strength to run around the midfied like partey does.
With the both of them around, they will both help each other as they aim for the premier league for the first time after eighteen good year's.
They should be in the Champions League next season and Europa league this season, so it means to enough games for him to play.

[baeva]

with Chelsea spending so much, and when they haven't had a great run of results this season. Of course, it's not just an evaluation, maybe the Chelsea owners have to act quickly to save their club.
it's not just about achievements and good team play. this is also part of the business. and without achievement, the business they run could be bad.

It looks like they have too much money. Hakim Ziyech don't join Paris Saint-German because Chelsea sent the wrong documents...three times. SG failed to register Ziyech at the French league association LFP. The correct documents were sent after the official transfer deadline and Ziyech was rejected as a new PSG player. So when there is so much money involved, they don't make mistakes like that.

The owner of Chelsea seems to be building the team for next season. He is accumulating good players for next season because I am sure that it will be difficult for these players  to blend with each other and with the team this same season.
I don't know whether to say that Ziyech transfer mistakes were deliberate or what. It could be what you said that they have big money.

Most likely, Chelsea did not want to let the player go and did so. I'm sure that at this level, when you're constantly working with documents and doing this kind of thing for more than one year, it's impossible to make a mistake. Even if you consider the human factor, it is possible to make one mistake, but not three, it's absurd, and the player was clearly dissatisfied, because he even offered to help with money so that this issue was solved as soon as possible

Yep. Arteta made a good decision to sign Jorginho. He is an experienced midfielder and he will bring a good impact on the midfield line of Arsenal. His quality is as well as Thomas Partey, Arteta can have many options in the midfield line. If Jorginho can play better, he may be the main player for Arsenal squad. Sure, he is lucky to join Arsenal, he has a chance to win EPL trophy with Arsenal now.

This is one of the best signings so far in this window. He is still young, has a wealth of experience in the League, European, and Continental Cups, and is extremely excellent with the ball and has a tremendous passing range. While every player has a weakness, Mikel will undoubtedly work on this one. I give it a 6 out of 10, not the greatest Arsenal could have done but still a respectable player. With Jorginho at least Arsenal can say they have cover for partey who is lot better than what they have. I am proud of the bench now, it looks a whole lot better.

James Maddison seems to be a target for Manchester City according to rumours. But not for the winter of course. They are reported to be planning a move in the summer.

Leicester are already likely to lose many of their significant players in the near future. This horrible season must have made those players really disappointed. They can't waste their career there in the end while there are better options. Maddison would more likely be a substitute player at Manchester City though. But it all depends on how he will perform when he has the chance. Maybe he can be a permanent member of the starting eleven later.

He deserves better than Leicester City, the move to City is a good move, everyone wants to work under the best manager in the world Pep Guardiola. Leicester have no drive for top four not even top ten position will be achieved this campaign.
James Madison would be a good replacement for Gundogan leaving next season or Kelvin DeBruune whenever he drops in form.
Manchester United won tonight at home they seal the chance to play in the final once again, I hope that they finally get to win the finals.

Well, to win the EPL a team needs a big squad, the depth in the squad goes a long way to help a team become EPL champions, Arteta knows this, he was a multiple time EPL winner with Manchester City (as their assistant manager). Jorginho's signing is along the lines of bolstering the Arsenal squad, so that there is enough replacements should injuries happen.

Having said that, Arsenal have a very stable squad atm, thus i don't expect Jorginho to break into it immediately and become a main player for them, but his time will definitely come, and i'm pretty sure that notwithstanding the number of minutes he gets under his belt this season for Arsenal, he is going to give his absolute best. Overall Arsenal have done great business this winter and they are set to go all the way to the title.

Did you say Jorginho is still young? Any footballer who is above 30yrs shouldn't be called young anymore. I used to respect Jorginho as one of the world class midfielders but with the collapse of Chelsea midfield when Jorginho and Covasic were there made me begin to think twice.
Anyways, I have no doubt that Jorginho will do well in Arsenal because there is a difference between playing in a good team and playing in a bad team.

The difference maybe in this case in terms of speed because Jorginho is not a runner type but often provides good passes for the attack line as a supplier in contrast to Partey who does rely more on speed but on the other hand this is a good option when they are actually fit because this can be played when strategy them so their tempo doesn't get too far later when Jorginho or Partey is on the pitch.

He must be joking about that. Jorginho was 31 years old and he is not even young anymore. I don't know why people called him still young. It seems like he didn't even aware of how old jorginho is now. Enzo is still young at this moment. The fact that even when jorginho was joining in arsenal  he still says that if chelsea would always become his favorite team to come back some day. Jorginho was accepting arsenal's offer caused by he has not got new offer by Chelsea to extend his contract.

[Velvet78]

I still can't believe how Manchester City let Joao Cancelo go that easy. He was obviously one of the most critical players in the team.

But now we see him as a Bayern Munich player. Maybe it is a loan deal but there is an option to buy him as well. I don't think Bayern Munich would let him return to Manchester City as long as he performs at the same level. I don't expect him to have big difficulties there as well. Bayern Munich are one of the best places for this kind of skilled players. Cancelo is definitely one of them now.

It probably means that in the current realities, Jorginho can be called a relatively young footballer In any case, if everything goes well, then a football player can bring huge benefits to the club over the next few years. And unlike really young players, Jorginho can benefit the club here and now. Arsenal got a high-quality football player in the case of which it is not necessary to expect and hope that the young player may grow in his level and meet all the expectations placed on him. Arsenal are fighting for the long-awaited Premier League title right now and this transfer is absolutely justified.

[asriloni]

I still can't believe how Manchester City let Joao Cancelo go that easy. He was obviously one of the most critical players in the team.

Cancelo was going out as a loan. i think there's no problem with it as he can back to manchester city anytime. cancelo was not going to the bayern with permanent transfer status. cancelo has been denied so many rumors about he has a problem with pep.

But now we see him as a Bayern Munich player. Maybe it is a loan deal but there is an option to buy him as well. I don't think Bayern Munich would let him return to Manchester City as long as he performs at the same level. I don't expect him to have big difficulties there as well. Bayern Munich are one of the best places for this kind of skilled players. Cancelo is definitely one of them now.

The option to buy him needs an agreement with city. city can also let him go leave the club or not. You shall not feel worried about that. M city is still considering him as a good player as well. that's why city was loaning him to the bayern rather than sell him in the permanent transfer status.

[Smack That Ace]

Damn, Chelsea finished the transfer window with 570 million euros net spend.
Enzo Fernandez is a good player but 120 million seems way over the line.

Don't you remember if newcastle bought 9 players last season? The different thing is almost all of the players bought eddie howe have very cheap price compared with Chelsea. There are chance for Chelsea to come back later. Chelsea won't miss European spot.

Chelsea aren't Newcastle united, they both can't be buying players at the same price so sure, Chelsea will definitely be buying players much higher. I bet those players been bought for that cheap price by Newcastle, if it was Chelsea coming after them then they'll be priced higher than what Newcastle paid for them. Lets not forget, Chelsea tried negotiating for Enzo Fernandez fee but the club didn't want anything less than the release clause and also don't forget that Chelsea aren't playing all the fees upfront. They only paid about €40 or so, there's that's also good business.
Chelsea tried delaying the negotiations until the last days to see if any chances will be made but it seems Benfica weren't going any lower and Chelsea were now desperate for a replacement since jorginho has gone to arsenal and there was a void to be filled which the coach wanted Enzo Fernandez to be the player to filled that void. I think the Coach will find a way to make all the players happy especially the new players and lets not forget, many players will be leaving at the end of the season.

Honestly, I don't mind Chelsea buying players and spending a lot of money in the transfer market. But of course, as long as the players perform, and also as long as the team is performing well. However, that is not happening. So, I cannot but think that the amount of money they are spending is just getting wasted. This change is going to take more time to work back to if they just changed the coach in my opinion.

I think a lot of players leaving Chelsea is going to be a good thing. Because the coach will be able to actually make an overhaul of the team. And I think the process is going to be a little easier. But Chelsea is obviously making a very controversial transfer. And I do not think it will be okay if the coach just makes the new players happy because the players being happy is not going to mean anything if they do not perform.
