⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Leviathan.007]

According to some news there are three big English Premier League teams monitoring Mason Mount's situation at Chelsea now. These are Manchester City, Liverpool and Manchester United.

I don't know why these teams are after Mount anyway. Because he doesn't have any impressive performance in this season. Chelsea as a team don't play very convincing though. Maybe these clubs are still believing in Mount to play much better for themselves. He is still a youngster and open to developing his game much more in fact. Mount still seems willing to stay at his current team by the way. He just wants a fair contract extension that's all. Chelsea had better give what he wants if they really don't want to lose him.

According to transfermarkt Manson Mount is worth 75M which is a high price but for teams like Chelsea where they spend lots of money on the players they bought that's possible to pay however I think Liverpool got a higher chance compared to other teams according to ESPN https://www.transfermarkt.com/mason-mount-to-liverpool-fc-/thread/forum/180/thread_id/16090/page/1#anchor_28235 I guess Chelsea won't lose the player like that easily any time soon to other competitors like Liverpool.

I guess Lionel Messi and his father already know the future club that Messi would want to consider moving to and definitely wouldn't like to disclose such as he still have some time left before his contract expires.

His a professional, he needs not to alarm the situation as it already is, besides too many locker room drama has been brewing at PSG and I think renewing of his contract is off the table... I suppose the new MLS is Saudi Arabia and the boys are ready to spend on this germ of a player.

However, I would love to see Lionel Messi leave PSG at the expiration of his contract and to consider a move to England. He needs not waisting much of his time playing at PSG as the trios MNM isn't working out fine for the entire club.

England requires too much hardwork and I don't think he will be able to compete at that level... Before we get ahead of ourselves, who will be willing to put in the big money for this Lad.. Newcastle

Indeed, Newcastle has the financial ability to be able to bring in high-value players, but until now I have not heard whether Newcastle is interested in signing this player or not. In fact, I almost forgot the last time Lionel Messi was rumored to be joining a Premier League team. There is still time for Messi to think about it all, because he must first complete his contract at Paris Saint Germain.

The latest news regarding the summer transfer rumors that Atletico Madrid are interested in signing Roberto Firminho from Liverpool on a free agent status. I think this is a pretty good opportunity for Firminho considering he has rarely been in Liverpool's starting line-up since the arrival of Gakpo and Nunez and has mostly been on the bench this season.

Atletico madrid is not the only team who wants to secure his service. As far as i know that if intermilan and barcelona are also aiming to sign him. Firmino's free transfer status will give so many advantages to the club who will be able to sign him. Real madrid is also interesting to sign him as a new striker for the club. This gonna be a very strict competition to get him for atletico madrid. I guess that firmino may be interested to join the big club. I see low chance for atletico madrid able to secure him.

If these rumors are true, there will be competition between clubs to sign Firmino in the transfer market later. Now it's just a matter of waiting for Firminho's decision where he will continue his future career. Despite that I think he should be at another big club, his form is actually still quite good but he might not be able to compete with other young players at Liverpool.

Declan Rice has been an another player at the centre of transfer targets for big teams for a long time.

Manchester United wanted them back in the day and got very close to finishing the deal. But it failed due to West Ham's greediness which made Rice very frustrated. Later on Chelsea started to have a significant deal of interest in him but still haven't made an official offer. And now I see Manchester City starting to be thinking about a deal to sign him. If they really enter the race to sign him then Chelsea might be in trouble. Yeah maybe Chelsea are also very rich now thanks to Boehly. But Manchester City seem a much more reliable team obviously so I think Rice could prioritize them in that case.

Marco Sportiello will be a first recruitment for AC Milan this summer because reported his agent and AC Milan have reached an agreement and he will joined to Milan as free transfer status but it doesn't mentioned contract duration for him and Milan really required new goalkeeper because Mike Maignan very often get injured but i don't really sure about Sportiello quality because during this season he has played only 7 times

On the other hand Liverpool want to regenerate their defensive lines because we all know some of Liverpool defenders are getting old and Sporting player Goncalo Ignacio has into their watchlist but they are not alone because he also into Manchester United radar

AC Milan finally finding their target with agreements reached is good news and will bring improvement to the squad especially with the available choice of goalkeeper been sidelined to injuries often, Marco Sportiello will give options between the sticks for Milan. Goncalo Ignacio is a fine player with high prospects of making it in the EPL and I am hoping to see him signing for an EPL team in the summer.

Although you guys say that there are several clubs wanting Neymar, I don't believe this, he is too problematic, too much drama.
I will write down the team that I believe he could go to if he leaves PSG: Chelsea.

I'll put a note here to remember in a few months.

Hehehe, I'm getting good at this.
February 14th I said this above, and knowing absolutely nothing, no news, and just yesterday I saw the news.
Chelsea really wants to get Neymar, and it has everything to work out, but first they have to agree about the value.

If PSG disqualifies from the UCL, you can be sure that the exit will be certain.
PSG paid €222million, and Chelsea is offering around €60 million, if Chelsea offers €100million I think PSG will accept.
His future seems to be England, since there are 2 more clubs interested in him, but I don't know exactly which ones yet.
If I have to guess, I think it might be Manchester City and Newcastle.

But Manchester City seem a much more reliable team obviously so I think Rice could prioritize them in that case.

Declan Rice is a boyhood Chelsea fan and went through their academy that could be key for Chelsea getting his signature. But looking at Chelsea currently and with the money spent already I doubt they could go ahead for this mega deal now. As for Manchester City Rice will be a good signing for them because of the situation surrounding players in the midfield. Bernardo Silva is looking to leave and we have seen him been deploy to the position of a left back which shows he is already outta of favour from the manager.
Rodri is been scouted by Barcelona and might leave, Gundogan is already ageing and looks set to leave also.

However, I would love to see Lionel Messi leave PSG at the expiration of his contract and to consider a move to England. He needs not waisting much of his time playing at PSG as the trios MNM isn't working out fine for the entire club.

in my opinion the best team that messi should have gone to after leaving barcelona was manchester city, in city messi would be playing and would win the champions league and premier league, i don't know to what extent city and its coach they would be interested in messi, but if city could have messi, they would already have good conditions to win the champions league, PSG is a broken team, they need a great coach to organize the team, I don't see PSG with any chance of win the champions league

Chelsea went for £2.5bn but Newcastle was picked up for £300m - and PSG cost the relatively small amount of £60m in 2011, less than some players are signed for these days!

Would Qatar Sports Investments' ownership of PSG be an issue?


There is a UEFA rule that two clubs with the same owner cannot play in the same European competition. So if Man United and PSG were both owned by Qatari Sports Investments, then they cannot play against each other in the Champions League.

But QSI will not be buying Manchester United, it will be another set of investors linked to the Qatari royal family who are interested in buying the Premier League club.

There are also ways around that UEFA rule - we have seen RB Salzburg and RB Leipzig play in the Champions League regularly and they are both owned by Red Bull. The way around that is you have to prove that the club is not owned by the same people and management structure.

It also helps that the president of PSG is on the UEFA Executive Committee. He will have taken soundings on what is and is not possible.

Furthermore, Sir Jim Ratcliffe is in a similar situation to PSG in the fact his INEOS group own Nice, so there may be a conflict of interest if the Ligue 1 club and Manchester United were to be in the same European competition, if he were to own both clubs.

in my opinion manchester united has to choose a guy who doesn't own or is involved with another club and who is willing to make the club stronger, but let the coach deal with players and not be influencing the hiring of players, why are we watching chelsea

The chance for neymar to join with chelsea becomes even bigger now since todd faces neymar's agent directly. It's now not just a rumor but let's see what deals that will be meet by both of parties. Im sure that neymar was planning to get a new club.

The French press was betting that the Brazilian Neymar would go to a "second tier" team, but I believe that most here are surprised to learn that Chelsea are willing to pay very well to have this player in their squad. Not bad for the most expensive player in football history to date. But is Neymar still worth so much?

I consider his age is too old. There may be a several years remaining for him to continue his career in the professional football. It must be less than €50m. The problem is his salary is high when neymar was playing on PSG. I don't even think todd will be trying to give the same salary for him(neymar)

Speaking of numbers... Chelsea will pay (at least they are willing to do so, nothing is certain yet) 60 million euros for Neymar who is now 31 years old ("old" player). It's still 4 times less than the €222m PSG paid in 2017, but it looks like the Parisian club is quite happy with that amount.
Arsenal were paying "only" €50m, so they ended up having their offer waived.

It's better rather than neymar going out from the club with free transfer even though his contract will expire 2025. A bit surprised to hear that manchester city is willing to offer neymar too.

[Pokapoka124]

Problem for Chelsea right now seems not from the players but most realistic with manager experience, have many star players and can't managed well for consistency performance I think should be improvement for Graham Potter on the next match.

The problem with Chelsea is more about management than team depth. I do not think they really need Neymar when they already have Mykhailo Mudryk who we know is sometimes addressed as the "Ukrainian Neymar" because of his similar playing style with Neymar. Even if they go ahead to get Neymar, it will not magically solve all the problem the team has presently. They need a new and more experienced coach that can manage these talents they have and wish to add, or be prepared to risk more games losing and disappointing the fans even with the many quality players they have on the field by giving Graham Potter more time to catch up. They do not need Neymar, they need to give this players that they just signed time to mature into the new team every one expects of them.

It is also important to bring in additions that will improve the team especially in areas where the team is slacking. This current Chelsea team is equipped with good and talented players and needs a good manager to groom and utilitize these players to reach their full potentials for the club. I won't argue bringing Neymar isn't good but there must be a good plan and it should be for the betterment of the team not just reckless spending because the money is there.

Saturday's transfer gossip:

David Beckham's Inter Miami are in pole position to sign Argentina forward Lionel Messi, 35, should he decide to leave Paris St-Germain. Messi in the league of American football? Somehow it seems to me that it would be too early for him, because unlike Ronaldo, he is still playing at the highest level of football and can still achieve a lot in Europe. It is still early for his football retirement.
Messi's father and agent, Jorge Messi, says it is unlikely the frontman will play for former club Barcelona again. What happened between Messi and his former club that he does not want to return and finish his career in Barcelona?
Atletico Madrid want £80m for Chelsea to make 23-year-old Portugal forward Joao Felix's loan move a permanent deal this summer. A lot was expected of Felix at Atletico, but he did not live up to the high expectations. Can he do more at Chelsea?

Don't join Barcelona, Firmino will following Depay and Aubameyang path.
Don't join Real Madrid, Vinicius and Benzema position wouldn't get replaced.
Inter Milan, make sense, but it's underrated club and Firmino can't earn a lot money.

I guess that if firmino will be putting his career as the most important thing. I don't even think that joining real madrid was bad thing. It's caused by benzema becoming even older. It won't possible for real madrid to keep using him when his age becomes even older. His performance will be also declining with his age. Madrid was aiming for a striker to replace him some day. As long as firmino can perform so well and he will get a chance in madrid.

If these rumors are true, there will be competition between clubs to sign Firmino in the transfer market later. Now it's just a matter of waiting for Firminho's decision where he will continue his future career. Despite that I think he should be at another big club, his form is actually still quite good but he might not be able to compete with other young players at Liverpool.

It's true. Firmino has been targeting by so many clubs caused by he will be leaving liverpool as free transfer. The club didn't need pay a lot of money to sign him. That's why so many teams have been aiming him.

I don't follow the french league and Paris Saint Germain that closely but during the match against Bayern Munich in the Champions League this tuesday the commentator mentioned, that Neymar is probably playing his best season so far for PSG. It was also mentioned, that PSG already tried to sell Neymar before the start of this season and that Neymar was really sad and upset about that fact. I would also guess that the salary of Neymar is extremely high and that he is probably among the top 5 earners in the world of football.
If he insists on his high salary, then he will have a very hard time to find a new club i think. He still has two years of contract left with PSG so i think he will just stay there.

However, I would love to see Lionel Messi leave PSG at the expiration of his contract and to consider a move to England. He needs not waisting much of his time playing at PSG as the trios MNM isn't working out fine for the entire club.

It seems that he will leave PSG after PSG several times did not find an agreement to extend Lionel Messi contract. in fact i think lionel messi could have strengthened a lower league or not so tight considering his old age. I don't think he will go to the Saudi league or to laliga because lionel messi is more interested in a league other than laliga because he is more interested in finding new challenges. I think the salary issue will be a consideration for every club that wants to send a proposal to him.

manchester city, barcelona these two big clubs have always been associated with lionel messi. let's see where he goes for sure the summer window will be full of lionel messi transfer news.

As far as I know, that is correct, and as far as I know, PSG has offered Messi an extension of his contract, however, he has not accepted the offer. Not sure what's the reason for this but maybe due to his age, PSG couldn't offer him enough money and that's why he rejected the agreement. Furthermore, he might decide to leave this team and join another team outside of Europe, such as the Asian and American teams, to earn some more money, just like Ronal did this year at the end of his career when he left this team.

As we know, that Pep Guardiola has a close relationship with one of his former players, namely Messi. Messi, always associated with one of these Premier League clubs. but I'm not really sure, that Messi can join The Citizens. because, there are many factors that make me not sure that City will be interested in signing Messi but suppose that's true, will Messi position Pep as a playmaker, or.

To be honest even without Messi, City are a very strong team. unfortunately, they have not been lucky to get the Champions League trophy. Meanwhile, I don't agree that PSG is a broken team. but to be honest, I don't really understand the system implemented by Galtier. not infrequently, he always tweaks his patterns and strategies in every PSG game. plus, the vulnerability of disputes between players which greatly affects the team's overall performance. actually the problem is simple, PSG doesn't have a very creative midfielder. apart from all that, I totally agree if Messi finally ends his contract with PSG until the end of this season.

In Paris, Neymar earns €3m per month, €700,000 per week, or €100,000 per day.

It's clear that if neymar's salary was very big. I can take that a player from chelsea like mason mount was getting only around 120k per week. It's very far compared with neymar's salary. This thing makes me feel doubt if chelsea wanna sign neymar. The new club was just giving him offer. The decision will be on neymar itself.

Messi moving to Premier League is not sure happening
Messi would consider retuning to Argentina division than the premier league
Yes it is true that he has a good relationship with Pep Guardiola, Messi should consider leaving PSG

Messi moving to Premier League is not sure happening

Yes it is true that he has a good relationship with Pep Guardiola, Messi should consider leaving PSG

I don't see any strong reason for Messi to play in the Premier League, at his current age Messi is still able to show pretty good performance at PSG because PSG rivals in the league are quite weak, it's different if Messi plays in the Premier League which is having competition is quite competitive so it feels like Messi will fail if he tries a new adventure in the Premiere League at his current age, I personally think if maybe Messi will end his career in France or maybe in the Arab or American leagues.
