⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[asriloni]

true, i don't think Man city want to let go of Bernardo Silva, it seemed to me, but i read on Forbes that Man City is ready to sell Bernardo to Barca if could pay the price that Man city set, i think it's just about Barca's financial decision, to see if they can afford to get him or not.

I think that it's too early to talk about him while at the same time bernardo silva was not evne thinking about what's gonna be his new club soon. In my opinion if he will determine his choice once we will be even closer to the 2025.
He will always happy to play with manchester city as this club was making his name to be even bigger. Barcelona has debt that must be paid. You shall not talk about it.
Barcelona has no ability to buy the new players.

Bernardo Silva at Manchester City got an ideal place and became one of Pep Guardiola's mainstay players. Even though Barcelona is interested in signing I'm not sure it will work out. For Bernardo Silva, Manchester City is the right place to improve his career. After all, Pep Guardiola will not let this player go, I even think that Bernardo Silva will get a contract extension.

Bernardo Silva has been at Manchester City since the 2017, it will be hard for Bernardo Silva to leave Manchester City. At the age of 28, I prefer to stay at Manchester City because his career is already good and there is no need to repeat a career from zero again at other clubs. Bernardo Silva has no problems at Manchester City, and his achievements are good enough so that with that provision, it is unlikely that Bernardo Silva will be released easily.

Bernardo Silva remains a key player for Manchester city side, but he is believed to be keen to depart in the upcoming market for personal reasons. He’s been linked with both Barcelona and PSG for a while  now. Bernardo Silva wasn’t going to agitate for a move and go against the desires of his Pep and the club more generally, but he was reportedly open to writing a new chapter in his career. We should also know that Guardiola is fabled for his ruthlessness in offloading players that want to leave his leave. So anything is possible in the summer.

Sunday's transfer gossip:

Barcelona still want to sign Portugal midfielder Bernardo Silva and Manchester City would be prepared to let the 28-year-old, whose contract expires in June 2025, leave for 65m euros (£57.5m). Is Bernardo Silva the right solution for Barcelona and is this price realistic? Can Barcelona, given their financial difficulties, afford Bernardo Silva?
Man City will look to bring in Croatia defender Josko Gvardiol, 21, from RB Leipzig if they sell 28-year-old Spain defender Aymeric Laporte, who is attracting interest from Paris St-Germain. Allegedly, Josko Gvardiol will become the most expensive defender in the history of football, with a price of more than 100 million euros. Can any other club pay such a price for a defender?
Tottenham want at least £100m if they are to sell 29-year-old England striker Harry Kane, who has 15 months left on his Spurs contract, this summer. This saga around Kana has really been going on for a long time, several years. Will he eventually leave or not? Kane clearly wants to go to a club where he will start winning trophies, but the question is who can pay that price for him.
Netherlands midfielder Frenkie de Jong is wanted by Manchester United but the 25-year-old is not looking to leave Barcelona. Barcelona already wanted to get rid of Jong, but he really showed great determination and will to stay. Will he finally earn the trust of the club and stay?

If they didn't sign him because Frankie De Jong decided to stay then it is likely not to happen in the summer too because Frankie De Jong is still staying except Barcelona will decide to offload some players at the end of the season to raise funds and create space in the team for additions. IMO £57 million is not too big for a player who is performing so well and will definitely improve Barcelona's squad.

The latest rumor is that Chelsea want to bring back Tammy Abraham from AS Roma this summer. Previously Tammy Abraham was bought by AS Roma from Chelsea in the summer market of 2021 and now Chelsea are actually interested in bringing him back to England. Meanwhile, the duration of Tammy Abraham's contract at AS Roma is still long enough until June 2026. I think a rich club like Chelsea will have no trouble signing players, but I think it will be a career downturn if Tammy Abraham returns to Chelsea later.

That's a very bad habits that are still owned by cheslea. Tammy was not a special player and his skill was average. I don't underestimate him but does chelsea need to buy him back again? i don't even think so. Why doesn't this club learn from what happened with lukaku? chelsea bought him back and then yeah lukaku become worthless. He was going back again to the intermilan. Chelsea shall stry to stop the bad habits like that. It will only make the club destroy itself. Wasting so much money to sign him is the worst thing. It sounds like that chelsea could not even able to get a guy to do the right job for analyzing which player the potential for the team's future?
WTF was wrong with this club? The team's management was so stupid.

I'd like to think their scouts are competent but I'm actually starting to doubt myself now lol.

Chelsea has a bloated squad right now. It's actually quite incredible that they managed to get themselves into this situation, considering that even Abramovich knew the limit. They should not be buying any more players until they sell some deadwood (and not stars who actually play well), or they are never going to get anywhere near the top 4 again.

E.g. instead of wasting money sacking managers routinely like Watford and selling academy players (because club management is only interested in cheap money), get rid of some of the fringe foreign players, especially the ones on loan.

100% accurate. It's like the old adage that says "money makes the universe go round" Moreover, I think we can all agree that money is the driving force behind the sports industry. These clubs are prepared to pay exorbitant sums of money to secure the services of these players because of their immense value to the organization.

However, it is essential to keep in mind that these individuals are, in fact, human. Feelings and sentiments are present in them, just as they are in every other human being. Furthermore, they are motivated by more than just money. Perhaps Bernardo Silva has an unbreakable bond with his teammates, or he has an unfathomable affinity for the metropolis. Nobody knows for sure. Still, I have faith that he will do what's best for himself in the end.

Newcastle have two midfielders on their radar now as it seems. These players are Maddison and McTominay.

If they are planning on signing one of these players then I think they should concentrate on reaching an agreement with Leicester for Maddison. Because Maddison would be a big addition for improving their productivity of scoring goals. McTominay isn't a bad midfielder of course but I don't think he can be compared to Maddison right now. Maddison definitely deserves to play for a big team. He is very qualified for a team like Leicester.

It's a shame that a player like Maddison is still at Leicester, who have been in such a slump this season, and if he wants to leave, maybe there's a chance next summer. I think Maddison is the attacking midfielder that Newcastle needs and that will definitely help a lot with goals and assists. Whereas McTominay is more of a central midfielder or defensive midfielder and I think for now Newcastle still doesn't need McTominay's services.

Both players needed for newcastle especially they are going to play in european competition next season , squad depth pretty much required to get through a long and tight journey , next transfer window would become a great time for them to shop big as they have got a big achievement as well .

Arab money ready to spend this time.

[Westinhome]

Maddison was the impressive player and had huge skill,if he was signed with the agreement.Surely he will do some practice and make his condition to play for big team.He had a capacity to play for big team.Actually when compared to the game of McTominary,Maddison game was far better with my knowledge.McTominary was the player suitable for the midfielder.But this two players will be suitable for the midfielder.The current game of McTominary was not upto my satisfaction level.So he should improve his style of game is my opinion.

Control yourself mate,Maddison also had good game compared to other players in the Leicester.It’s very hard to accept your point fully.Maybe he is good for next summer,but it’s hard to accept he is unfit for this summer.He had unique strategy in all the game.He had good skill of attacking midfielder in the Leicester,most of the midfielder will not aggressive one like him.His aggressive was the unique as compared to other player in the Leicester.Even the McTominary was the defensive midfielder as compared to the Maddison.We still need of this two players for the game.

That's true Maddison's performance was very well in Leicester City and he could even join a better team than Leicester, but there is still the chance to say he likes to stay in Leicester until his contract ends in 2024 otherwise and according to the news he can stay in the premier league but in another team. Currently, Teams like Manchester United and Liverpool have an interest and maybe he will join one of these teams at the end of this season.

I don't see any reason for Maddison keep staying in Leicester City because currently Leicester is one of a bad club and his salary is small among the other player in a big club. Maddison was a right winger player, but he mostly play at central attacking midfielder. I think he's better to join Liverpool because there's no play maker on there, unlike Manchester United who already have Bruno Fernandez and it's seems his position will not get replaced.

Signing from the big club like barcelona will need a very hard efford. We do know that even though newcastle acquired by new investors but its name is not as big as another team. That makes eddie feel difficult to recruit the new player.

If they could sign Alexander Isak for £59m from Real Sociedad, then I believe they could afford to sign most of the players from the Real Madrid, Barcelona benches. I mean players with expiring contracts like Asensio, Dani Ceballos etc

They don't get regular playing time, but I think they could be very useful if given a chance.

True but asensio has been linked to the newcastle since last year but as you can see that nothing happened in january. I never heard if newcastle interested in ceballos. I think that ceballos will not go there although newcastle gave signal interested in him. newcastle always linked with so many players but it never came true. Recently newcastle linked to the Dušan Vlahović. The problem is even though newcastle already acquired by Qatar consortium but newcastle was just newcastle. It won't be the same like another club like city, arsenal or MU. The name of club and how popular the club are also overseeing decision for new player to move.

Apart from Liverpool, it is reported that Real Madrid also has a great interest in Maddison, but I agree with what you said, it would be better for Maddison if he chose Liverpool because Liverpool still lacks a right-wing, while Nunez and Moh Salah are not suitable for that position.


after ancelotti said emphatically he no longer cared about asensio's future at madrid then it was only fitting that asensio saw the opportunity to move to barcelona, actually asensio is a good player, it's just that ancelotti rarely chooses him as a starter.

German Sky Sport reporter Florian Plettenberg just announced that the extension of Choupo-Moting's contract (one more year until 2024) likely means that Bayern is not currently looking for a new striker. However a transfer of Harry Kane is not yet completely ruled out. The club is still watching the player and if there is an opportunity to sign him in the future, the club will do its best to make it happen (even though the price might be an issue).

Following the contract extension of Choupo-Moting, Bayern are currently not active in the search for a new #9. Nevertheless, things could change. Harry Kane remains a topic for Bayern. If there's a possibility, the club will do everything to sign the Englishman [@Plettigoal]

Pretty good decision if you ask me. Choupo-Moting is performing pretty well and his stats are amazing for a 33 year-old. Hopefully he can keep his good form. At least then Bayern will no longer have a striker problem for this and next season.

At this point, 100 million for a player like Harry Kane is not a very big amount. I believe he also deserves that kind of money. He is still a very good player even though he is already 29 years old. So he is not too old at the same point. Paying a hundred million is not going to be a bad deal if he performs well in my opinion.

Tottenham wants a reasonable amount for him I would say. I understand that he is no longer a young striker. But at the same time, he is not so old that he will only be able to perform well for one season. He is going to be performing for at least three seasons in my opinion.

For FC Bayern it is. Oliver Kahn Bayern's chairman just gave an interview a few days ago that they probably won't spend €100 million on a player. FC Bayern has always been known for being solid with its finances and not making reckless financial decisions for single players. And it will stay that way.

Accordingly, I cannot imagine that Bayern would pay such a sum. In the past, great Bayern players were only ever signed when the financial conditions were right or a player was available on a free transfer.

However, you are right. Another club might spend €100 million on Kane. Whether that's a good decision is another matter.

That's why Maddison didn't just leave Leicester, instead of just being a full support for a team that was sinking like this. After all, Leicester are not completely at a loss if they lose Maddison, of course they have set a very high price for a club that wants to bring in this player in the summer and it looks like Newcastle will be able to pay the transfer fee.

Striker Harry Kane recently continued to refuse to extend his contract with Tottenham. Harry Kane's contract expires next summer and the England striker is thinking of new destinations where he can have more well-deserved trophies. Harry Kane never received the honor he deserved at Tottenham. Bayern Munich has been missing a real goalscorer since Lewandoski's move to Barcelona, so they are looking for a top-class striker. Harry Kane is the option that the German team is very fond of, he has proven his scoring ability over the years.
In the situation that Bayern Munich's attack missed too many opportunities at the beginning of the season, now they will not regret 100 million to sign the main English striker.

Do you even bother to read previous posts? And I also bet you didn't watch a single Bayern match this season.

FC Bayern has just extended the contract with its striker Choupo-Moting until 2024 and the CEO Oliver Kahn spoke out against €100 million transfers in a major newspaper interview a few days ago.

How can you now say that FC Bayern urgently needs to sign Harry Kane, lol. If Harry Kane joins Bayern, it will be either for a much lower fee or as a free agent once his contract ends.

I'm not sure if Bayern are willing to sign Harry Kane for €100 million. at the very least, Bayern would prefer an easier talent. there is still Oshimen, at least it is better to bring in Oshimen at a fantastic price than to bring in Harry Kane. apart from age, Osimhen is also young.

On the other hand, other rumors report that Manchester United are reportedly optimistic that they can get Harry Kane in the transfer market next summer. and several British media reports claim that The Red Devils have met representatives of the Spurs star. the results were positive, the Man United camp considered they had a chance to bring Kane to Old Trafford.
well, so the problem now is the price set by the Totteham Hotspur camp. but considering the price set by Spurs with a tag of € 100 million, it seems that it will be difficult to bring in Harry Kane in the transfer market next summer.
