⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Slow death]

It seems like Chelsea's search of a goalkeeper will never end. 

Because this time there are rumours like they are interested in the Brentford goalkeeper David Raya. He has played in 23 games in total so far and conceded 30 goals. 8 of these games were clean sheets for him. This is pretty good to me considering the team he plays for. However Chelsea still have contracts with Mendy and Kepa both for two more years now. I wonder what Potter is thinking about this situation. We don't even know if this is his idea. I don't think Chelsea's main problem is a goalkeeper now. They should focus on weak spots in the team first by creating some strategies for them.

the strangest thing is that it looks like they don't care about paying salaries to so many players who won't even be playing, another strange point is also that they are buying players for a very high price and then selling them for a low price, and with that they leave with a lot of losses, that's why I think it's strange that they aren't caring about it, isn't it normal that they don't care about wasting so much money, could it be that they found an infinite gold mine?

Salah is certainly a respectable player, but I don't think Real Madrid would want to sign him. I am 100% sure that they will want to sign young players with high potential such as Osimhen, Leao and Kudus (Kudus is my favourite). Salah will most likely be transferred to one of the underdog teams after playing for Liverpool for a few more years. I don't think he needs a new challenge. He is a football player who has completed his career to a large extent.

Real Madrid is focusing to sign a pure striker, Salah is a winger.
I am sure the priority of Real Madrid now is to find a new player that can replace Benzema's role/position. Benzema often gets injured, Real Madrid cannot rely on him anymore. Salah can be a striker (CF), but it is not his ideal position. So, I think Salah isn't the best option for Real Madrid. Real Madrid current target is a player like Harry Kane or Victor Osimhen. Real Madrid still has enough wingers, they have Vinicius, Rodrygo, Asensio, and Hazard. Signing Salah only wastes money.

in my opinion real madrid should not focus on replacing bezema, but should focus on signing good players who score goals and play alongside benzema, when benzema doesn't play real madrid's attack dies at the same time, that's something dangerous and it's been happening since last season, it's unbelievable that real madrid managed to win the european champions league and la liga even being in this situation

[harapan]

Seeing the condition of Madrid in the last few seasons, they prefer to look for young players who have potential compared to players who are already old.
Indeed, they have brought in several players such as Rudiger at the age of 29, but I don't think they will bring in old players for strikers, especially considering Salah's position, in fact Valverde, Asensio and even Rodrygo have filled it so even if Klopp is there there is a very small possibility to bring Salah.

If I were Madrid I'll get Salah, even if it for a short term. They need a left footed winger on the the right wing and Salah is also a goal scorer. What they should really be looking for is a striker that can replace Benzema and I wonder why they're not looking at Vlahovic. He's got the profile for that role. If they have Vinicius, Vlahovic and Salah up front that's a very big plus for them but I don't think his name is even on their table.
Salah to Madrid is possible because players of that quality are hard to find. You can find young players to fill that role but they have to be extremely good at a young age for a team like Madrid to trust them.

Real Madrid have habit sign young player and not priority with old player actually Mohamed Salah, I don't sure with Real Madrid want to spent much money for fees transfer and he has most expensive salary with Liverpool. Current players position in Real Madrid actually they have completed position on left or right forward after having Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo, Falverde and Marco Asensio. Little weakness for Real Madrid in center forward because Karim Benzema not having compete back up position.

Salah has played well with Liverpool last several season and Champion League, Primer League tittle seems enough for him, not bad for trying challenge play in Saudi Pro League maybe  

[Emitdama]

Klopp will not be sacked by Liverpool management, this is a trying times for Klopp and Liverpool, every team do have trying times. They have to be patience with him. Klopp is an experienced coach and if Madrid bid for him, is not a bad either he will deliver the club.

Klop hasn't had any successful results this season. I agree with that. Everyone agrees with this opinion. But if Klopp leaves, who will they entrust the team to? I think it would be a big mistake to send Klop off the team. Chelsea made the same mistake. They sent Thomas Tuchel and made a deal with Graham Potter to replace him, but now they are in a worse situation. I think if Liverpool send Klopp out of the team, they will suffer the same fate as Chelsea.

After sacking of Thomas Tuchal how things gone in Chelsea all are aware and with having good record at club in past just one season is going into wrong way most chances Liverpool management will not do anything like this because they are also having feeling things like these can happen so giving him more time is enough instead of having worst like Chelsea which is surely now going deepen because they are still not able to have positive results even against weaker sides.

As they are having bad time, but things can go better it's matter of just sometime or having some change in strategy now after win against Everton surely they are feeling positive and can do better against Newcastle United and Real Madrid which will bring good changes, and they will be on right way for the better end of this season.

[Velvet78]

Liverpool are also a part of the rumours related to Osimhen now. They are also said to be after him to sign. This makes me think about whether they have some other plans about Nunez. Because he hasn't been able to meet the expectations as you know. He can't make the needed goal contribution to the team as he has been expected to do since the beginning.

There is Firmino as well maybe but Liverpool might even be planning to part ways with Nunez and sign Osimhen instead. But the Osimhen part is only a rumour for now of course.

[Coyster]

This is not the best time real madrid is supposed to have a player like Salah because he is advanced already and it will definitely affect performance. Younger player like Osimhen that is performance is very active. Salah is not very strong in his performance like used to be some years ago.

Why would anyone even think that Real Madrid are going to make a move for Mo Salah, not only because of the age of the Egyptian, but because Real Madrid would be solely interested in an orthodox striker in the summer, and Salah isn't that, as his strongest position is playing from any of the two wings. I don't even think Liverpool would want to sell a senior player like Salah in the summer, they are still suffering from the decline caused by their sale of Sadio Mane last summer, thus they wouldn't want to make the same mistake twice.

Having said that, Real might be more interested in Victor Osimhen, the Nigerian striker is currently one of the best strikers in the world, and he is definitely going to allure interests from clubs like Manchester United and Real Madrid in the summer, the thing is just that he is going to cost quite a lot of money, and if he would be willing to move because he has found a home in Napoli.

Victor osimhen much more sexier than have to sign salah.

He's been really hot with napoli this season and might won't reject real madrid move ... we just haven't heard that rumor but real madrid never not interested in such hot commodity in transfer market , we'll see what real madrid will do to fix the squad problem next season.

Yes, I agree with your prediction. It seems that Salah is only 30 years old and still has some of his best years (or close to the peak) ahead, but for some reason it seems to me that his best period is already behind or ending now. And in any case, Real Madrid is not interested in him, which is updating its squad and is clearly not interested in buying players who will have to be updated again in just a few years.

that's true, Real Madrid are focusing more on young players and new talents, i can't see them signing Salah at all, even though they need a player like him to play from that side, i'm sure they will try and find a younger player, most likely Brazilian

[makishart]

...

Salah currently was 30 years old and his performance also decline so i was wondering why Real Madrid want him because if Madrid want looking for the replacement of Benzema i think Salah isn't the right player for them because in my opinion Madrid should be buy younger player than him

Real madrid has some good wingers. Real didn't even need salah. Just a match against everton has not proven if salah has been going back to his best performance again. Real madrid needs a striker like osimhen. I didn't prefer to see real madrid to take leao. Leao's performance is not as good as osimhen. Osimhen has all of things that will be needed by real madrid. He gonna be a very good substitution for benzema in the future but the problem is as napoli stated won't sell him and so real must be trying so hard with it. Klopp will be trying to buy some new players to rebuild the club again.

We know Real Madrid is not a team that likes to spend money like PSG
They will not make offer beyond the limits of the club's reasonable, while Napoli maybe release Osimhen  if a club makes an offer with a fantastic value
Napoli's ambition to win the domestic league title will become more real this season, getting the trophy plus money (in large amounts) from the sale of his contributor Victor Osimhen will bring Napoli into a new era

[CryptopreneurBrainboss]

The fact that they spent 500+ million pounds on transfer and still saying that they are lacking a position is beyond funny to me. If you gave me 500 million pounds today, and gave me a team with zero players in it, I would have built you a team that had at least as much points as Chelsea, who knows maybe even better.

We're in a search of a goal keeper doesn't mean we're urgently in need of one. Don't forget we have about three goal keepers already. Mendy our previous number one has been injuried for quite sometime now and the talks on the renewal of his contract isn't progressing on a positive note which means he's likely to depart in the summer so we're now in search of a replacement for him so we don't fall into the same situation of panic buying like we did in January which clubs take advantage of and increase the value of their players knowing we're desperate and will pay the fee.

Chelsea is undergoing a rebuild with a new owner that wants his own players and not those inherited from the previous owners. Chelsea is a big club in Europe and known to be big spenders so you don't expect them to get their players cheap. The 500+ millions we spent got us about 8+ players and not all are available for the season so when you look at it we didn't over spend. The quality of players that were bought are brilliant so it isn't a wasted investments. We just need a quality coach to get this boys playing well again, Graham Potter isn't giving the vibe the squad needs.

Fresh News
According to AS Journal, Neymar may leave PSG in the mid-year transfer window.

After a discussion with soccer manager Luis Campos during the match against Monaco, it seems that the mood is not good in France.
Marquinhos also participated in this discussion, after the director demanded more aggressiveness from the team in the defeat against Monaco.

Although the player is in a good phase, I believe that it will be a little difficult to make a good sale, since he is very difficult to work in a group, simulates a lot on the field and can easily create fights within a team.

Do you have any guesses about Neymar's next team?

Source: https://as.com/futbol/internacional/el-psg-se-plantea-vender-a-neymar-en-verano-n/

I'm not sure if Neymar will leave PSG in the mid-year transfer market because PSG currently still need his role in attack. Maybe there really is a problem with the club regarding the recent decline in performance for PSG. Even if Neymar leaves PSG, of course there will be many top European clubs who will try to negotiate with him, is it possible that he will come to an EPL club? we know there is very competitive and can be a new challenge for Neymar.

Neymar is a very competitive football player, I think the same thing in this regard.  The only problem is that he has a quick injury problem.  Everyone knows that he is a top player.  If he is to leave Psg, there may be dozens of top teams willing to sign him.  Of course he can go to EPL too.  Maybe Manchester United can try their luck in this matter or Chelsea can add it to the high money they spend.

It is possible that if his choice is to go to the EPL I think he will come to Manchester United rather than Chelsea. We know that at Manchester United there are other Brazilian players such as Casemiro, Fred and Antony. I think he will adapt more quickly if he is with other Brazilian players. On the other hand, even though Neymar has a right winger position it can be a good option for Erik ten hag and of course Rashford will be shifted to become the main striker, we know that so far Weghorst has made little contribution to the red devils.

Real Madrid has several terrific wingers, but I think they'd benefit from acquiring Napoli striker Osimhen, who has 17 goals. From what you've indicated, Napoli will be reluctant to sell Osimhen to defend their league title. Real Madrid doesn't spend like Paris Saint-Germain, therefore they might not make a bid that exceeds the club's financial cap.

I think Napoli's opinion of Osimhen and Real Madrid's offer will determine his future. If Real Madrid makes an excellent offer, Napoli may release him. Drive and goals also matter. As you predicted, Klopp would likely investigate other rebuilding options.

[Woodie]

If Klopp goes to Real Madrid, I'm almost sure he'll bring Salah.  Real Madrid is not a team to be rejected.  They are one of the most valuable and respected teams in the history of world football.  We may see Salah if Klopp leaves, but I don't think he will mind Nunez because Nunez fell short of expectations.  Instead, they can make attempts to get Haaland.  Of course, we are only talking about possibilities, in reality there is no such situation at the moment.

Reportedly, ancelotti will train the Brazilian national team and Klopp is the strongest candidate to become the next Madrid coach

Klopp to Madrid... No ways mate! His real test has come and he needs to show the world that he can help rebuild Liverpool back to its former glory, and if he fails I honestly don't see how he will secure a top job as the Madrid one.

btw, nunez is a mistake made by liverpool and he is the cause of the decline in liverpool's performance not klopp

No its not, Liverpool failed to give Mane a good contract and when he left they thought they would easily find his replacement and fast forward to this day their performance is awful!

With the quality that is currently owned by Madrid players, I doubt that if he goes to Madrid, he will bring Moh Salah too

LOL you sounding like a Salah fan right about now, players like this lad need to start thinking of going to other leagues were they will retire and get a fat paycheck as he has passed his prime... maybe going to Saudi Arabia wouldn't be a bad idea

[Despairo]

Klopp to Madrid... No ways mate! His real test has come and he needs to show the world that he can help rebuild Liverpool back to its former glory, and if he fails I honestly don't see how he will secure a top job as the Madrid one.

Time will tell, the problem why Liverpool's performance was very declining is because their key players are injured. Now, some of them already been fully recovered and we only need to wait for next one month until Luis Diaz will come back.

No its not, Liverpool failed to give Mane a good contract and when he left they thought they would easily find his replacement and fast forward to this day their performance is awful!

Klopp is prefer with a pure striker, Mane is a left winger where it's a place for young player with a fast running. He's get forced to play at center forward, since he's already matured for 30 years old, it doesn't good to place him at left winger position. I think that's why Klopp doesn't want to extend his contract.

[drwoo]

As you are mentioning Thomas Tuchel here, it just came to my mind what could be going on next season when one of the coaches like Klopp or Simeone gets sacked. Liverpool would be looking for a coach, Madrid might be looking for a coach and even Atletico might be looking for a coach. We may see a lot of back and forth between the clubs and the available coaches. Unless Ancelotti wins the Champions League, I don't think he will remain the coach of Real Madrid for another season. Zidane is also available as far as I know.

[shinratensei_]

It is possible that if his choice is to go to the EPL I think he will come to Manchester United rather than Chelsea. We know that at Manchester United there are other Brazilian players such as Casemiro, Fred and Antony. I think he will adapt more quickly if he is with other Brazilian players. On the other hand, even though Neymar has a right winger position it can be a good option for Erik ten hag and of course Rashford will be shifted to become the main striker, we know that so far Weghorst has made little contribution to the red devils.

That actually depends on various things. There are many players who have been rejecting united. Going to the chelsea was not also the best answer for neymar caused what chelsea needs is not a pure striker. There would be some surprise offers from various clubs. I think that you shall not forget if we have also newcastle in EPL that can buy neymar anytime. MU already had good wingers. The problems that faced by chelsea and MU were the same and it's related to the pure striker. Chelsea and MU have been competing for some names.
Ten hag has been rumored interested with harry kane as a new striker for MU but it's not yet clear whether kane willing try to move from totenham or stay even longer with it.

Even we just heard this rumor. I'm not sure, before there is an official statement from PSG management. so far only wild speculation, but in fact Neymar will continue to play for PSG at least until the end of this season. I know, there is a bit of a rift going on in the PSG locker room. in particular, after the loss to Monaco. Neymar fell out with his team-mates, he criticized the performances of Vitinha and Ekitike.

Speaking of Neymar's departure, this gossip has always been blowing since the feud with Mbappe. Even if Neymar leaves, I don't think Ten Hag will be interested in him. Neymar is not a good choice, besides his age, he also will not fit into the typical system that Ten Hag employs. the proof, Antony, has not been able to develop far so far with United. Man United doesn't look at the skills possessed by star players, but how a player can play with the system that Ten Hag has implemented.

The problem with Chelsea is currently Graham Potter he deserves the sack letter. Player's like Cucurella should b dropped for a while.

Mendy wishes to leave indirectly, I was thinking like he must have forcefully claimed to be Injured not to play because he wants an improvement in what he receives as salary

I don't really get how you are talking about Graham Potter. Nobody says that he is a great coach with a long history of outstanding achievements, but if Chelsea comes by and asks you to become their coach, would you decline the offer?

In my opinion it is just the new owners who are to blame. They sacked Thomas Tuchel, got Graham Potter and now people blame Potter. I would blame the new club owners. Almost no coach would decline the offer and say "hey this is too difficult for me and I don't want the money as well".
