⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[panjul07]

Of the options available, is Asensio more suitable for the Premier League with Manchester United or Serie A with AC Milan?

I'd say that Asensio will be more suitable and maybe will be able to adapt faster in Manchester United because there are Varane and Casemiro who are his ex teammate.
However, maybe it will be harder for him to get into the main squad because there are many other current United players who are in the same position as him.
If he wants better competition, Premier League is better than Serie A IMO but if he wants something like guarantee position in the team, I think AC Milan will be a better option.

[Avirunes]

Every different coach then it will affect the players let alone give a lot of minutes to play so chances are he won't fail especially since Tammy Abraham has already played there, I think Ten Hag has a better plan if he really wants Tammy Abraham from AS Roma.

I am sure I have read somewhere that Tammy Abraham has Chelsea buy-back clause of around 60m so it would be tough for United to get him. United are one of the major competitors and Chelsea wouldn't want to allow this move happen. It seems pretty hard to me.

There are also rumors that Victor Osimhen is a summer target for Manchester United but yeah the price is high but looking at his current performances with Napoli it is certainly worth the quality, only now Erik Ten Hag can determine other alternatives after the main target is not found.

Even with these rumors, it would be different then.

I think with De Jong signing they filled in the depth they needed in striker department in the squad and bought time to get a proper target for the next transfer window. I think they will think about this very carefully and would only go for a player if they really think that he can be crucial to the team. I am sure the list will have more names than just Osmihen and Abrahams.

It seems that Asensio has not yet been given certainty by his current club Real Madrid, who have not yet discussed whether he will receive a contract extension offer or be left alone by Real Madrid. Asensio's contract at Real Madrid will expire next summer. Reportedly the Premier League giants and Serie A are also interested in bringing in this player, they are Manchester United and AC Milan who have started rumors of wanting to make him a player into their squad. Of the options available, is Asensio more suitable for the Premier League with Manchester United or Serie A with AC Milan?

As part of the team's improvement over the past few years, Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez always kept the top players in his club. The club has absolutely no plans to extend Marco Asensio Willemsen's contract, despite the fact that the crucial member of Carlo Ancelotti's team has put in outstanding performances. While Real Madrid is every player's dream club owing to their past success in finals and unforgettable trophies won, the Los Blancos attacker is waiting for a contract extension proposal from the organization and isn't making any moves to depart. If Madrid is unable to reach an agreement to extend the 27-year-old deal, English and Italian clubs will make the opening bids.

As Messi's current contract expires soon, the Parisians took strong action to agree to a new contract extension, but it appears that none of their efforts were successful. If Leo Messi's demands and offers are not fulfilled, he won't join Barcelona again. Messi's father and agent, Jorge, made it plain that there is no agreement with Joan Laporta, president of Barça, and that his son is under contract with PSG. The Argentina international has every opportunity to accept the offers that are waiting for him at Inter Miami, a team that is also clamoring to sign one of the great GOAT.

Quite an expected move - last year there was information that Chelsea would buy either Ronaldo or Neymar purely for marketing reasons. Ronaldo chose another money option, so only Neymar remained. But in fact, I very much doubt that the Neymar brand is strong now. The start of the season seemed to show him returning to normal, but the World Cup broke him.

In terms of "showbiz" He can still benefit Chelsea and on pitch too if he turns up well. The Media usually like chasing after a specific type of players and Neymar of them. The biggest problem is he seems to be so injury prone lately. I am not sure if he will manage the hard tackles in the EPL.

One of the reasons Ronaldo always kept at the top was it was so hard to find him injured or being laid off for a couple of months.

Show boating and doing all of those Samba moves on the pitch when they are playing attracts just the media ams if not does at the right moment it'll help he club lose the game and from experience Neymar has done trhis too much.
Also with the high rate of injures, I can't imagine Chelsea signing a player that won't play complete three months for Chelsea and will take hugely salaries.

Ronaldo's a big name and a big deal, he's fought his ways from unnecessary injures by training hard. Ronaldo would have been such a great player for Chelsea.

[kawetsriyanto]

In the case of Jude Bellingham, I can not see him going to Chelsea anytime soon. He’s presently being sought after by big European clubs like Manchester City, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Liverpool and now Chelsea. I think he’s likely to go to Liverpool than to go to Chelsea. If he comes over to Chelsea, I bet he would seek some playing time and with so many midfielders players in Chelsea (though injured at the moment)it won’t be easy.  More also, the little influence the father would have in his decision making. He’s young and needs a lot of playing time and needs a club that would give him just that.

I agree, he is unlikely to move to Chelsea. I assume he only to move to a big club like Real Madrid or Man City. He must expect to play at UCL competition, he won't to move to a club that will play at no international competition. So, he also won't move to Liverpool, too. Liverpool seems to have no chance to play at UCL next season. There are many top clubs that often play at UCL interested in him, he must prefer to choose them.

[Distraction]

It looks like Chelsea have no plans to stop making new transfers and spending a huge deal of money at the same time.

Because this time there is even a rumour related to Bellingham. Chelsea are reported to be preparing to join this race to sign him. Boehly seems like he doesn't care about spending an insane amount of money at this point. He just wants to see a strong team. But I don't feel like Bellingham's choice would be Chelsea. If he decides to come to the English Premier League then I think his first choice would be Liverpool. His father would influence him about that for sure.

If Bellingham goes to Liverpool, I think he will have the opportunity to play directly in the starting 11 in his first game. If he transfers to other teams, I think he will still have the opportunity to play directly in the starting 11, but Liverpool will be an easier team for him because Liverpool have serious problems in terms of midfielders. On the other hand, if Chelsea sign Bellingham, it will be the first time that they have made a transfer that no one can object to. So I don't think it matters how much Chelsea will spend on him. However, the pressure will increase on Graham Potter if Bellingham signs for Chelsea...

I really don't have good expectations about Potter honestly.

Because he isn't like Erik ten Hag obviously now. Erik ten Hag has started to create a solid bond with the team and Manchester United are doing a great job at the moment. But there is no such thing when it comes to the relationship between Potter and Chelsea. They are still struggling to keep up a good performance and form. There is still an issue with scoring goals comfortably and this affects them deeply. If Chelsea don't improve anything this season then Boehly might decide to part ways with Potter also.

[snipie]

Real Madrid will not take Neymar even if he is the last attacker on earth tho. First he is an annoyance for the team and has kiddish behaviour.

You don't say! Really?

Third, he played with the eternal enemy, Barcelona.

Are you trying to say Real Madrid has never signed players that previously played for Barcelona? Can I mention a few? Some are even legends, mind you 

The only reasons they could not sign him is because they don't need him. I mean, Vinicius plays on the Left Wing and is doing pretty well.

Maybe it isn't that clear but Real Madrid won't recruit Neymar for all these reasons together and not because of every single one alone.
Of course there was players that moved from a side to another and were called traitors and ugly stuff were trashed on them by their ex fans..
The only possibility to sign him is when Perez open a Real Theater and need a comedian to fall on the pitch and act as dead once touched = That's called hyping, just like using last attacker on earth

Graham Potter hasn't good experienced as manager in Primer League and his achievement with Brighton Albion is not really impressive and I don't think why Chelsea trust him and sacked Thomas Tuchel with good reputation.

Chelsea in the crisis right now after losing on first leg of UEFA Champion League and still not back to the top performance in Prime League after many new signing I think should give warning until how long Chelsea in the poor performance. Still not late for Chelsea replace their manager position and I don't sure with Graham Potter will bring back Chelsea to the top fourth standing position in Primer League.

I would not say that he is prone to various injuries, nevertheless he shows his high level, but I personally do not see him in the English Premier League. He is fast, agile, but as if he does not fit in any club, PSG in this respect is ideal, but the management probably does not want to extend his contract

[Franctoshi]

It seems that the amount of the transfer could be 60 million, not so much, but this is not official data yet, but just a rumor from journalists. PSG have been unhappy with Neymar's discipline for a long time, so they would not mind selling him, but I'm not sure if Chelsea need him. All these Chelsea transfers so far look ineffectual, they spend a lot of money, but Chelsea can't even score goals, they have only scored one goal in the last four matches.

Chelsea has so many wingers. Neymar is not even needed by the club. What actually needed by chelsea is a new coach since potter was bring chelsea to the worst situation. Potter has a very low win rate as well with all of its former clubs. It's all pure speculation. Yeah i do agree with your concern about how bad attacking line of chelsea without even more than 1 goal from a few games that already passed.

Obviously Neymar is not going to help matter at all at Chelsea , What significant impact has Neymar done at PSG since he's arrival at the club, that he's going to suddenly become the Chelsea's Messiah they've been waiting for if they signed him to help turn things around for them. Looks like Chelsea are yet to find the major cause of their problem and to find a lasting solution to it. It has become obvious that Potter has nothing to offer the club, have made a lot of signings, yet no improvement as regards to their performance.

[dezoel]

Right now, United has 2 players that can play in the striker position, Rashford and Martial, which means that if they end up getting Abraham or Osimhen, they are going to make that player the main striker and Rashford could still find some playing time considering he could play on wing as well, which means whenever someone is injured in the wing or at striker, he will be the one playing and whenever someone needs to be subbed in, he could be the one.

However Martial would be gone and I am not sure how much Rashford would be alright about being a bench player again. I get that they are looking for someone better but if the want it so much, at least make it much better, not a little bit better and Abraham is only a little bit better.

But in fact, I very much doubt that the Neymar brand is strong now. The start of the season seemed to show him returning to normal, but the World Cup broke him.

Neymar's condition seems to be the same as before. Actually, when I saw some time ago, he was actually ready to go anywhere, if you look at his statement, it's just that he wants the same salary, if possible, higher than PSG, which clearly makes it difficult for other clubs, especially with clauses that are definitely still quite high.
It's his condition that forces fans to think about his salary and actually I think even bringing in Neymar would be good but this will only add to the burden for Chelsea because of course they are required to be in a better position.

For me, it is very clear that Real Madrid won't sign Neymar.
Real Madrid won't get any advantage to sign Neymar since Neymar is no longer in a good form. Neymar is also a former Barcelona player, Real Madrid seems not interested to sign an ex-Barcelona player, especially since he is an old player. If it is for improving Real Madrid wingers, they have already many good wingers. So, they don't need any new winger. Another reason is that Neymar often gets injured. Real Madrid won't be happy to have a player who often gets injured.

Madrid is currently different from the Madrid of the Galacticos era, which always brought in great players who could instantly become strong.
In the last few years they have always been looking for brilliant young talent so they can increase their performance in the long term.
Neymar's age can still be, but at 31 years old I think Madrid will not be too interested in that and indeed it will be very difficult for Neymar to join Madrid, especially since he has already been part of Madrid's rivals.

[Furious 7]

That's right, I've also heard about Bellingham being linked with Chelsea and it looks like Todd Boehly does want to build an amazing squad for next season. But I don't think Bellingham will ever go to Chelsea, of course if he wants to join an EPL club he definitely wants to be at a better club like Manchester City or Manchester United. Although later on if he is influenced by his father and suggests him to Liverpool it looks like it will be the same as going to Chelsea, considering both teams are not doing well this season.

In the case of Jude Bellingham, I can not see him going to Chelsea anytime soon. He’s presently being sought after by big European clubs like Manchester City, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Liverpool and now Chelsea. I think he’s likely to go to Liverpool than to go to Chelsea. If he comes over to Chelsea, I bet he would seek some playing time and with so many midfielders players in Chelsea (though injured at the moment)it won’t be easy.  More also, the little influence the father would have in his decision making. He’s young and needs a lot of playing time and needs a club that would give him just that.

The condition is a little difficult because apart from Chelsea there are actually many better clubs than those who want Jude, but this can still happen if Chelsea has a good offer in terms of price and salary.
Dortmund still won't be able to keep their players and will be in the same condition as Haaland sooner or later so indeed they are currently looking for suitable offers as it is the only way for them to benefit from Jude Bellingham's departure.

Wait for the next transfer season to be opened. You may see some surprises that happened with PSG. Debating whether neymar will be going to the real madrid or not is useless now caused by the transfer season already closed. Real madrid has ever interested with neymar once he was still in santos but it's almost a decade ago. Everything changes now and it seems like what you were saying above was actually true. It's not real madrid who interested in him but a club from EPL who has been linked with him.

Talking about possibility about chelsea to sign him makes more sense rather than real madrid. I won't be surprised if there are many times linked to him but i thought that real madrid never had interest to sign him back since last rumor when neymar was still playing on santos.

There will be so many changes next season not only for neymar but messi too. Two superstars of PSG have been rumored will be moving to the new club next season.

Neymar has a high market value he has also enter the age of over 30 years. Real Madrid won't pay for it because it's only a short term investment, Madrid want players who are much younger than that maybe players like Kylian Mbappe, Victor Osimhen

Real Madrid's player transfer activity this season has been quite minimal, much different from their rivals in Laliga, not as usual.
Is it possible that Carlo Ancelotti is preparing for a big transfer?

[alegotardo]

Is it possible that Carlo Ancelotti is preparing for a big transfer?

I think so, there are strong indications that this should happen and I don't see anything against it... quite the contrary, as Real Madrid agrees to release Ancelotti after June and the Brazilian team also accepts waiting until then.
For now, the Brazilian team has already appointed Ramon Menezes as interim coach.
Staff's trip to Brazil is also a great indication that this should come to fruition.
Ancelotti also has a very good resume that the Brazilian team is looking for.
Still, in the last press interviews, what was most asked about Ancelotti's interest in Brazil, and he never vehemently denied it, always in a joking tone. Also, he has a strong connection with former Brazilian players, such as Kaká and Ronaldo Fenômeno.
The Spanish language is also a "facilitator" for Ancelotti to play his role in Brazil without major communication problems with Brazilian players and officials.

It may possible for mbappe but not for osimhen. I reminds you that napoli has been declared for not to sell osimhen. Napoli's president itself who has been saying about that. I see no chance for madrid to get osimhen from napoli but i kinda feel that mbappe may be possible to go to the madrid once PSG will be losing against bayern.

Mbappe may request to leave PSG if they fail to beat Bayern and progress to the Champions League quarter-finals this season.

The report adds that another Champions League failure could ultimately force the forward to push for an exit in the summer transfer window.

The possible thing to get mbappe from PSG rather than osimhen from napoli

It's not even related with big transfer. It's caused by ancellotti thought if real didn't need massive transfers.

I guess you shall read what ancellotti said before

"We didn’t dip into the winter market because we didn’t need to. If you plan your squad well in summer then you don’t need to use the winter market. When you sign in January it means something has happened, which could be an injury, but we’re fine."
