⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Jackl87]

Xavi is about to lose his young player Gavi and there is the chance for another player to have the same situation or they even have to decrease their salaries because of the situation they have in Barcelona they cannot pay the salaries to some players, and their Messi can be a life saver however Messi will surely ask for high salary depending in his quality which can be challenging for Barcelona to hire this player.

I don't understand how anyone can still think, that there is even a minimal chance, that Lionel will come back to FC Barcelona. The only reason why he left Barca 2 years ago was the fact that Barca already was in big financial trouble back then and they simply could not afford to play the extremely high salary for him. He probably could have stayed at Barca back then if he would have been happy with a lower salary but he did not want to do that.
Now the financial situation of Barca is not better, maybe even worse than two years ago and i doubt that Messi will play for a salary that FC Barcelona could afford to pay. I think it should have the highest priority for Barca now to get rid of their huge debts even if it means that they have to sell a few good players.

obviously,  Victor Osimhen really needs to join a suitable club that will help him maintain and continue being among the top ranking strikers we have in the European football, and basically where he would find such opportunity is definitely finding himself in the English premier league and in a team such as Arsenal or Manchester united team,where he would have more percentage chances of becoming the number one striker in the club.

I think PSG is interested in him a lot more than any other team. They are offering Icardi and Parades and some good amount of money for him. This would allow Napoli to not only have money which they would be happy to have but also they would have good enough players to replace Osimhen a bit as well.

Maybe Icardi is not as good as Osimhen but he is not a bad player neither and definitely deserves a look. If Napoli decides to sell, that is the type of offer they can't pass up. Real can't offer the same thing, if it is about the money, PSG can match whatever Real can afford considering how rich PSG is, and considering how they are also offering Icardi, unless Real offers Benzema, they have no better offer.

Despite showing some shocking performance in the Euros qualifiers match for Scotland, I think McTominay is still and will still be a second option for Manchester United, Casemiro will still be picked first ahead of McTominay for his consistency and reliability in games for Manchester United expected in times like this when he is facing a ban or out injured then McTominay could step in as a replacement

Scott McTominay scored a couple of times during the international break for Scotland, he is a very important player for the Scottish national team, but definitely not for Manchester United, Casemiro has made the defensive midfield role his own since joining Manchester United and thus far no one has the quality of displacing him in the team, definitely not Scott McTominay. Manchester United have been a completely different team since they signed Casemiro, he brough his elite, winning mentality from Real Madrid, and it has also influenced the other players, i think he is their most important signing this season.

The speculations of Messi's return to Barcelona are now hitting up and it seems likely that a move can happen in the summer as Barcelona President has mentioned that the club is talking to Messi's camp and discussions taking place already. I think Barcelona is also putting in place measures to satisfy every financial fair play rules if Messi is to join eventually.

The Barcelona camp actually believe they can pull this off. It will be a good deal for them if they get Messi back but its going to be a very difficult one. The good news is, Messi actually wants to go back and he's ready to make all the sacrifices for that to happen. I read at article that said Messi is ready to adjust to the financial constraints of the club.
Signing Messi would be good for Barca but only in the short run. Right now they've made quality progress in trying to rebuild their team without Messi and learn to play without relying on a single player, if Mess comes back I think they'll be taking a step backward after taking two steps forward. Don't get me wrong, Messi is an exceptional player and nobody can do what he does on the pitch even at his age but bring him back will halt their progress because the team will now be dependent on him ones again. And since he'll always deliver, it won't be felt in the short run but in the long run they'll feel it.
To avoid that, Barca need to also pay attention on other part of their squad that need strengthen.

Barcelona fans really feel quite sad about losing Messi and even Messi has tried to extend his contract but in the last seconds Barcelona actually let Messi go due to financial problems, I think Barcelona fans understand why Messi left and they don't blame Messi at all because there really is a problem with barcelona, ​​even if later messi returns to barcelona as another team player (against barcelona) but I am pretty sure that barcelona fans will still welcome him well, even though now messi is no longer playing for barcelona but because messi is still a legend who is able to give glory to barcelona previously.

Right now have bigger expected for Barcelona fans after rumor Lionel Messi will return back and not reach agreement extended contract with PSG, last several season Lionel Messi leave Barcelona as free agent player after not reach agreement extended contract due salary payment but seems next window transfer if still not extended with PSG I think has fewest chance will back to Barcelona.

Financial crisis and huge salary from Lionel Messi will difficult for Barcelona how to signing back Lionel Messi, many team will give fantastic offering and salary for Lionel Messi if not agree for extended contract with PSG, however become free agent player in the next window transfer have easy for any team want to sign Messi.

Ronaldo in the last era of his career thought about going back to Manchester United where he feels is his home, but it actually didn't work for him so he decided to change direction. This days, players decide to end their career in a well paying club. They desire making a lot of money in the last season of their career than going for achievement. Lionel Messi return to Barca would have been an exciting thing, but I'm trying to  fathome what will be the brain behind his return. But I'm sure it will not be to win more trophy or end more personal honour, it will only be  as a way of paying last honour to FCB, and such will not amount to paying him much like u said.

I think Barcelona is also putting in place measures to satisfy every financial fair play rules if Messi is to join eventually.

Well, it's no longer surprising because with Messi return, will Barcelona fans accept it? Considering that he left at that time when Barcelona was in a bad condition but now that everything is starting to get better Messi has come again. In the end, he will return to the house where his name was made big. Staying at PSG will not make Messi comfortable forever, because the demands made cannot be fulfilled, especially getting PSG to reach the top of the Champions League.

I'm sure Barcelona fans will accept it. because after all, he is a Barcelona legend. it's just that, so far the rumors regarding Messi are still very confusing. several other rumors reported that PSG's management had made a second offer regarding his contract which had been canceled previously.
On the other hand, the Arab club, Al Hilal, reportedly offered a salary that exceeded that received by Ronaldo with Al Nassr. So, there are many rumors about Messi which are linked by many clubs, and not to mention the clubs from the American League. but the issue that is currently developing is related to his return to Barcelona.

Even rumors, Barcelona are reported to have held talks with the party from Messi. Despite all that, I'd be happy if Messi left PSG.  but I doubt that rumors of Messi's return to Camp Nou can materialize. because, several colleagues from the Argentine national team said that Messi would stay with PSG before he left for David Backham's club. however, because currently Messi is still under contract with PSG. at least we just enjoy the moments when he plays his matches with his team until he reaches the Ligue 1 Trophy.

I have heard that Bayern Munich are interested in Kai Havertz as a summer transfer target. Tuchel must be wishing to reunite with him and maybe Havertz would also lean towards a potential deal. Because Chelsea's condition this season is very bad. They are even likely to lose some of their good players because of this bad season in my opinion. Because they aren't going to be a part of the Champions League most probably.

However I don't know if Havertz is the right striker transfer for Bayern Munich unless they are planning to part ways with Choupo-Moting. I would expect them to sign a top striker instead first.

As reported by Transfermarkt, Karim Benzema is now starting to be eyed by one of the Saudi Arabian league teams Al-Ittihad. As we know, the Middle East League is incessantly hunting for European players who are now about to retire and if Karim Benzema accepts an offer from Al-Ittihad, of course he will receive a fantastic salary like Cristiano Ronaldo, who has now joined Al -Nassr. Karim Benzema's contract with Real Madrid will also expire in June this summer and if Real Madrid does not immediately offer a contract extension then the opportunity for Benzema to join the Middle Eastern club will be very wide open. Do you think Real Madrid will let Karim Benzema go this summer?

This is the first time I've seen it although I'm not too surprised by the offers for Benzema.
But on the other hand I still feel that Madrid will still retain this player at least for next season even though the offer is still quite large for a player of Benzema's age. Although in this case it would be quite interesting if Benzema went to Al-Ittihad because of course he would be a rival for his best friend Ronaldo who plays at Al-Nassr.

The latest news about a contract extension has come from the English Premier League. Luke Shaw, who is a full back from Manchester United, has agreed to a 4-year contract extension. Surely this is good news for Red Devils supporters, because Luke Shaw's role is so important for Manchester United this season and sometimes he can also fill the position as a center back if Martinez or Varane are absent. Erik ten hag is also pleased with the presence of Luke Shaw in his main squad this season and for Luke Shaw the contract extension proves that his love for the Old Trafford public is extraordinary.

Luke Shaw is one of the Manchester United players who has developed under Erik Ten Hak, if you pay attention to the quality of his playing this season it is very different from the previous season, where in almost every game he has always been a starter and continues to be Erik Ten Hak's mainstay. There are several other players who also automatically get contract extensions apart from Luke Shaw who has been announced by Manchester United.

Luke Shaw has also proven his loyalty to Manchester United with the performances he has given this season, so there is no reason for Management not to give him a new contract, this was a great start for his career and future for the next four years.

I won't be surprised if Benzema chooses to leave Real Madrid in the summer. I know that he made a statement like he would like to finish his career at Real Madrid but we still never know what the future can bring us.

I don't know how long Real Madrid are planning to continue with him above all else. Maybe they don't have plans to sell him yet. But Benzema doesn't need to stay until the end of his career in fact. Because he must have already achieved all of his goals with this team. He had an unforgettable season last year as you know. He has collected the most reputable prize for himself also. Maybe it might be the time for him to make some changes in his life. This can really happen especially if Real Madrid find a good alternative to him meanwhile.

I think Barcelona is also putting in place measures to satisfy every financial fair play rules if Messi is to join eventually.

As much as they still all want Lionel Messi return when it's not really as smart as it seems even if he returns, he shouldn't be used for attacking options but rather for the attacking midfielder position.
My honest opinion is that Lionel Messi is a gone player, they can go ahead supporting him but Lionel Messi back to Barcelona is not just right thing to do.

President's at times talks and make comments only when it does benefit's. Messi can rather join the Saudi Arabian League instead of waiting.

Because Chelsea's condition this season is very bad. They are even likely to lose some of their good players because of this bad season in my opinion. Because they aren't going to be a part of the Champions League most probably.

It would be better for thim to get new clubs. The situation in chelsea is very bad right now. Potter is a stupid coach. They will be losing their career if they keep staying even longer in the club. Chelsea was losing against aston villa today. Even when aston villa played away.
That proves that how stupid chelsea is right now under potter. Kai havertz is always having outstanding performance under tuchel. Kai is not feeling good anymore to stay in chelsea even longer.
Chelsea will not be participating in the UCL next season and it must have faced real madrid in the worst situation like that. I doubt if chelsea will able to beat madrid.

However I don't know if Havertz is the right striker transfer for Bayern Munich unless they are planning to part ways with Choupo-Moting. I would expect them to sign a top striker instead first.

Tuchel has been targeting kai and it's not mason mount. Bayern has been linked to the harry kane, but the problem is kane is not even interesting to move out from spurs. Kai haverz has been under tuchel when tuchel was in chelsea and he has been winning UCL and some trophies. he is not as bad as you think as long as he will be handled by a good coach.

Lionel Messi returns to Barcelona is of nothing, what will he be coming  back to do ? . Instead of Barcelona he should just follow Ronaldo's step look for a club that can offer to pay him very well .
Barcelona needs young players to strengthen the team more, not people like Messi that is losing strength in performance as time counts.

Maybe it's just an April Fool's joke, I have not seen anything like that in the media, but I think there is no point in keeping Benzema when Real Madrid will try to sign other top players. For example Mbappe they want for free (that was just recently announced) or Haalande in a year or two

Saturday's transfer gossip:

Chelsea have emerged as major contenders to sign Napoli's Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen, 24, this summer.
Chelsea are also set to make a bid for Barcelona and Spain left-back Alejandro Balde, 19, to replace England defender Ben Chilwell, 26.
Bayern Munich are interested in signing Chelsea's Kai Havertz, 23, with the Germany forward previously expressing interest in being reunited with his former manager Thomas Tuchel. Chelsea will obviously have a very turbulent transfer season in the coming days and months as a lot of players leave and a lot of new players arrive. What kind of team will Chelsea have next season and will they be competitive and fight for trophies next season?

Definitely a better team and we'll structured one for that matter, that's the team Chelsea will be having next season, we have the likes of Nkunku coming and if we succeed to add Victor Osimhen then the last piece of the puzzle has been found. With all the squad at Chelsea at the moment with an addition of this players and their quality, we'll definitely be competing for the title next season although that can't be achieved if we're still sticking with Graham Potter but I believe Todd Boehly won't be that stupidity to keep him even though miraculously he wins us the champions league.

Still on Chelsea gossip, I heard Mason Mount has finally come to an agreement with Chelsea that means he's staying at the club. I can't confirm this rumour to be true but I doubt it to be true because from the way Mason Mount was applauding the Chelsea supporters even after the lost to Aston villa without him playing any minute of the game, I feel that's goodbye right there. The chance of Mason Mount leaving Chelsea keep increasing daily and at this point I think there's no turning back for him.

But looking at the reports it seems that this rumor has spread quite widely and indeed even in some local media I read some say that the possibility of Benzema has been 80-90 percent to Al Ittihad. But I still don't believe in this, especially as Madrid still don't have any real certainty about Haaland, even though there has been some news about them preparing more than 200 million for his transfer.

[Pokapoka124]

I read some news about De Gea who was indeed stalling for time with this contract. On several occasions Ten Hag is actually trying to reduce the gap in player salaries by wanting to spend 200k-300k but De Gea's current salary is 375k which is indeed one of the highest paid players at Manchester United.
There is other news that says that currently Manchester United are also approaching Gregor Kobel from Borussia Dortmund. But until now De Gea still says Manchester United is his top priority.

De Gea seem to be bent on continuing and possibly ending his career at Manchester United, David De Gea has been outstanding for Manchester United in years past and still continuing his legacy at the club and has made his feelings known to the club that he wishes to continue in United jerseys, I think it is not a bad idea because even at his age he is still saving United, making vital saves to secure wins and keeping them in games, I think he deserves to be rewarded with an extension.

[Velvet78]

Real Madrid and Manchester City seem like the most interested teams in signing Gvardiol in the summer. His cost to these teams might be around 75 million pounds as well according to some sources.

Gvardiol is a really skilled young defender now. Despite his very young age for a defender he has been doing a great job. He isn't good at only sweeping the dangerous attacks. He can support the attacks of his team with nice runs as well. It isn't easy to find a versatile defender like him at this age honestly. I wonder which team would be his first choice between these options.

[trendcoin]

...
Arsenal are keen on Real Madrid's Aurelien Tchouameni, with Liverpool also said to be interested in the 23-year-old France midfielder. Is Real ready to let him go? The player who should replace Modric?
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says the club have been busy during the international break lining up summer targets and are ready to spend big in the transfer market. The real question is whether Klopp will continue to lead Liverpool after a very disappointing season and especially if they do not qualify for the Champions League next season?
...

Aurelien Tchouameni would be the right choice for Liverpool. It would be even better if they sign Jude Bellingham alongside Tchouameni. They need to spend some money on the transfer from now on. Despite the problems they experienced in the midfield this season, they persisted in not making transfers. Sometimes I thought they wanted to put Klopp in a difficult situation because I couldn't understand what they were doing.

I think Barcelona is also putting in place measures to satisfy every financial fair play rules if Messi is to join eventually.

I'm getting bored with this because every player transfer update is sure to include him in the news which is always busy. But actually the conditions remain the same as before, with Barcelona still having difficulties in balancing their cash book conditions and with those who are still having financial difficulties, it is certain that Messi will not be there.
