⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[rendravolt]

Though I don't really know how legit the rumour is, but if there is any trace of truth in it, I will say it is quite a poor Idea for Chelsea Legend like John terry to have recommended or even have a positive say in the discussion that entails bringing in an average coach like Graham potter to manage a team like chelsea. And it is more delusional that the owner ignorantly offered him a long term contract which is now a problem of sacking him now that he can't keep to a quarter of the expected outcome. Chelsea needs to sign a new coach if they wants the club to maintain its past legacy.

Even though John Terry is a Chelsea legend, when it comes to the coach who will handle Chelsea this should not be taken lightly, especially recommending the name Graham Potter to handle Chelsea is a bad decision. I think when this season is over, Chelsea must immediately find a replacement for a coach who is better and experienced in various European competitions. This is very important for Chelsea after what they have got so far must be destroyed because they chose the wrong coach.

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.

I'll have to start from the head of the squad, that's actually GP ( Graham Potter ), He is not just the right coach for Chelsea, just to be fair here, he should have been sacked earlier enough, Abrahimovich would have done same. GP's first seasons with Brighton hasn't uped ten position a s the expect him to give a top tier job ? This people are joking.

Talking about players leaving, I want to see Callagher, Loftus Cheek, Koullibaly should be loaned out Romelu Lukaku Mason Mount is having a hard time taking decisions on pay with the club. Stated players should kindly leave.

The best options when it comes to coaching has got to be player's who aren't from England, they jave got to be other European options.

This news surprised me today about Messi: https://www.goal.com/en/news/lionel-messi-barcelona-return-back-on-joan-laporta-confirms-meeting-with-psg-star-father/blt562136eff1991425
Since Messi is not interested to stay in PSG and his destination is still unknown most people thought he will join a team to just receive a goal salary there but now according to some news If Barcelona sends him a good offer to get Messi back to Barcelona he won't say no to his previous team.

Is that for real? I just see that romano has reported the opposite thing with that news.



TBH, i believe with what already reported by romano as it was coming from laporta itself as a president of barcelona. Laporta will not bring back messi in barcelona soon. FFP is the main reason. He was thinking about how to make its club become even better without messi. Messi was just old stroty for barcelona.

Because that's why they forced it. The condition of Messi and Barcelona can no longer be together now.
There are a number of things that cannot be forced here, such as when looking at the financial condition which is still not fully recovered and Messi's condition also, in terms of price, it is definitely expensive in terms of salary.
On the other hand, even though Messi is still good, his contract obviously won't be long considering his salary, so there's no need to force things that shouldn't happen.

I think Joan Laporta's words are not that important, I think he has to let Messi go and doesn't need to bring up old things like memories of his time in Barcelona's uniform. Let Messi be happy elsewhere and he will surely be happy with his future now or then. What I'm afraid of is that if Messi returns to Barcelona there will surely be uproar one day and that's not for the club and not for the players either.

Another day and another news.

It seems like manchester united and chelsea have been preparing biggest bid for osimhen. It seems like that that already made by osimhen if he was saying EPL was his big dream has been triggering some big clubs in EPL to sign him.

In another case, as the chance to get caicedo becomes even smaller and it seems like that chelsea and arsenal will try to compete to get declan rice from west ham. I may feel good for arsenal but chelsea has so many players now.
https://www.football.london/arsenal-fc/transfer-news/arsenal-chelsea-agree-caicedo-alternative-26413417

These are still rumors but potentially be true story. I just wanna see osimhen to catch his dream to play in EPL

[bullrun2024bro]

There is no big news in a recent report from the German Sport Bild about the transfer saga surrounding Benjamin Pavard from FC Bayern. It is still not clear whether the Frenchman wants to extend his contract at FC Bayern or wants to leave to a new club.

Bayern are currently waiting on whether Benjamin Pavard would show willingness to extend his contract beyond 2024. If not, the club would sell him in the summer to generate income.

I can well imagine that FC Bayern is willing to wait a little longer. There is still some time until the summer transfer window, and if they can keep Benjamin Pavard at the club on reasonable terms, that would certainly be a success Hasan Salihamidžić and the rest of the management.

Nevertheless, I think that a transfer to another club is a little bit more likely, since Pavard has already expressed several times in the past that he would like to leave the club. What do you guys think?

I expect Didier Drogba to be doing his agent work by now in trying to convince Victor Osimhen to come to Chelsea. He's our African ambassador and has been talking with players to choose the club over others, Victor Osimhen is the next Didier Drogba and even the special one Jose Mourinho has said it himself. Osimhen will be a big name in Chelsea especially as we have everything sorted out right now but don't have a typical number nine and obviously a coach that I think we might get next season. African players has a history of doing very well in Chelsea especially the blacks one and we have a very huge fan base especially in. Nigeria the hike country of Victor Osimhen.

It's a dream of every Nigerian international player to play in the Premier league, that's like winning the grammar in football over here so it's just a matter of time before this becomes a reality. As for the cash, will Manchester united be willing to spend? Because I know Chelsea aren't afraid to do such. We could easily sell some players to fetch money for his big money move as anything that has to do with Victor Osimhen at the moment has to involves lots of euros since he's currently at the top of his games and in the news with his constant goal scoring runs that's on, at Napoli.

We don't know whether Chelsea will retain Graham Potter next season or not, because even though Chelsea's performance is far from satisfactory, it seems that Chelsea's management has not responded anything about Graham Potter. I'm sure they still want to see how far Chelsea's performance has gone under Graham Potter and will evaluate whether they will continue to entrust it to Graham Potter or vice versa. Indeed, as a whole we can argue that Chelsea needs a new coach, but that could be very different from what Chelsea management sees.

I also have nothing new on Pavard. All I am hearing about him is Barcelona and Manchester United were interested in him. However, that's old news.

I personally do not see any big progress in this story. So even though he did say in the past that he wants to leave, he might actually end up staying.
That is of course if any other big club does not show interest in him. Which is not happening right now.

[Swordsoffreedom]

Of course, I think the same as you, and as I have said before, Messi should consider going to Saudi football, in particular I would like to see CR7 and Messi facing each other in that league, I am sure that worldwide all the attention would go to that side of the world, because with Messi there, wow, it's another level. There are very good players, there is Mappé, Haaland, among others, but they still do not have that shine that CR7 and Messi have given us over the years, that is something that I still see from afar, that is why these players, no matter how old they look For me they will continue to be the best.

You know that the contract of Lionel Messi's with PSG is going to end at the end of this season. So it is very possible for Barcelona to get Lionel Messi for basically free. But will Barcelona be able to afford the salary of Lionel Messi?

Lionel Messi is still playing very well. So it is very understandable if he demands a good amount of salary. But I will not be surprised if Lionel Messi does take a pay cut just to play for Barcelona. After all, it was supposed to be the club which was going to make him a one club player.

So far we don't know for sure, the club Messi will go to next for his future. although many rumors link Messi with several clubs, including a club from the Saudi pro league who dare to pay the same fantastic salary as Ronaldo. but in fact, there has not been any official statement from the star. Even now, PSG is still waiting for confirmation regarding his contract extension. however, rumors of Messi leaving PSG were already very intense even before the 2022 world cup started.

But if Messi returns to Barcelona, ​​this is great news for Barca fans. at least, Messi can end his career with the club that raised him.however, I agree with what you said.the question is, can Barcelona pay Lionel Messi's salary. except, if Messi doesn't mind if his salary is adjusted to Barcelona standards.
other rumors, after the PSG vs Baryern Munich match was held in the second leg. reportedly, Messi will determine his future. well, let's wait.

Regardless of what he is the owner of the strongest decisions in Barcelona, but indeed if you want to bring Messi, this is clearly one of the things that I think is a little wrong for him.
Although indeed in this case he is one of the legends of Barcelona but with the current conditions with those who still have a job looking for more than 100 million to balance the books, I think it is indeed too pushy.

[KTChampions]

Bayern are known for being conservative and for signing players at the expense of their big name, but they need to accept reality and the sooner they do it the better. 100 million is not a big amount, but just an ordinary (or even small) if we are talking about top clubs and top players. No matter how hard Bayern try, they will accept a new reality in a season or two at the most. There are too many competitors with money on the market and getting top players cheap is simply unrealistic, even free players claim a huge signing bonus (and they do it right).

It is not correct to call 100 million Euros small money.  In the football market, 10 years ago, a good club could transfer Prime Ronaldo for 100 million Euros.  Looking at the current order, they give 100 million Euros to players who don't deserve it.  This shows that there is an unnecessary football market.  I don't think astronomical money should be spent on football.

Oliver Kahn is that you? Friend, we must live in reality and not in "10 years ago, prices were different."
Football is now a wild market and while there are those who are ready to pay space money for players, those who are not ready to pay them will be without these players. Everything is very simple. The situation is aggravated by corruption and oil money, but it is unlikely that Bavaria is able to defeat this state of affairs (at least alone), which means they must adjust.

I am almost 100% sure, that Messi will not return to FC Barcelona. First of all, no Barcelona can not afford to pay the salary for Lionel Messi. That was the reason why he left Barca in the first place. Barca has more than 1,3 Billion € worth of debts and there is no way they can afford to meet Messis salary demands.
I also don't think that Messi would be willing to take a significant pay cut, just to play for FC Barcelona again. If money is not important to him, then he could have stayed at Barca becaues he did not have to leave. He wanted to earn very big money though and that is why he went to Paris. I think he will stay at PSG or he will go for the huge money like CR7 did.

My prediction is that PSG is going to lose this match on aggregate. That will give Lionel Messi the final push to leave PSG. And there is a high chance for Lionel Messi to go to Barcelona if possible. Because his old teammate Xavi is the current coach of Barcelona.

But if that does not work out, I see Lionel Messi going to Saudi League. Personally, it is going to give me a lot more thrill to see Lionel Messi playing in the same team with Cristiano Ronaldo rather than watching Lionel Messi play against Ronaldo or in Barcelona right now.

Will MU try to buy him with 100millions price? That's very interesting news to be waited for.

It's possible, considering the huge contribution that Kane will make to Man United later, one of the things that makes Tottenham quite productive is Kane's presence and currently he has scored 18 goals, Kane should have left the club a long time ago because if he had stayed at Tottenham he would have only to will be possible to equal Alan Shaerer's record as the Premier League's top scorer but the trophy will need a miracle if he stays with his current club.

He is not too late to leave Tottenham, at the age of 29 he still has the opportunity to shine again in other teams. But is he willing to do it? because I am sure that if he is given an offer to extend the contract he will agree. If he wants a prestigious trophy in his career, leaving Tottenham might be the answer to the trophy itself, because at Tottenham it was very difficult to get it.

I don't think this is a free problem or not because even if Messi is brought in for free, can they still pay Messi's large salary.
currently Messi's salary at PSG is around 31.5 million euros per season and this is definitely a big number for a player even though his performance is still very good and can suck up some lost sponsors but I think it's still a little difficult for Barcelona with the management condition that is still random.

If he wants a prestigious trophy in his career, leaving Tottenham might be the answer to the trophy itself, because at Tottenham it was very difficult to get it.

Tottenham are currently being hit by difficulties because of some current news conditions. Seeing from previous statements, Kane has said that he will still focus on Tottenham until his contract is completely finished but on the other hand this is also not a real guarantee for Tottenham to be able to keep this player.
Kane himself said that until now there has been little talk between him and Tottenham about what his future conditions are like in the midst of a contract that will soon expire.
 

"There's not been much talk if I'm totally honest," said Kane in January.

This is a bit of a problem if Tottenham don't do much because he could leave really happen later.

I would guess that it shouldn't be a shock for Messi to go back to his old club, he wasn't really happy leaving neither anyway, so it should be fine for him to get back. However, lets realize the fact that Barcelona can't offer him some insane amount of money, he would be getting a huge huge pay cut if he gets there, and I think that would be a bit of a tough situation.

I am not saying he may leave for Saudi Arabia for higher pay but at the very least he should be getting what he deserves, not less. That is why him staying at PSG could be a better deal for him, he never really accepted Barcelona offers years beforehand when he was there too, so I think he may actually stay at PSG on the last minute as well, like Mbappe did.
