⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[naira]

It is claimed that Benzema has turned down an offer by a Saudi Arabia team and he wants to stay at Real Madrid for one more season.

This can really be true because he is really enjoying his game right now. This season is also going on really good for him. He made two hat-tricks recently as well. Maybe his performance this season isn't the same as the previous one but it must still be enough for Real Madrid. They will need his productivity in the Champions League as well while we are very close to the quarter final games.

One more season at Real Madrid is not bad for Benzema. He was still quite competent and had returned in quite a good mood. Enjoying his time at Real Madrid has made Benzema confident that in the next season, his performance will remain optimal. However, Madrid also needs to have the option of additional players in the transfer market next summer in order to ensure that if at any time instability occurs, Madrid is ready with an alternative.

PSG supporters were booing Messi when I last saw him in a game. It must due to his not extending his contract with the team still I guess.

But this is a big disrespect to Messi in my opinion. Because since he adapted to PSG's system he has been performing really great. He has done his best for the team so far in every tournament. He has made a much bigger impact than Neymar also honestly. The fans have a really unfair attitude against him. Messi's priority is always going to be Barcelona in the end. He was even hoping for a return there before signing for PSG. The financial issues blocked the way. He will hope for reuniting with the team this summer again for sure.

It is indeed very dishonorable to see PSG supporters booing Messi, especially when PSG failed to extend their win in the Champions League. Right after PSG failed several times to qualify for the Champions League, PSG supporters started making words that made Messi uncomfortable.

It's a shame that Messi has taken on such a heavy duty at PSG, despite the fact that da Mbappe and Neymar are not enough to distract the fans. If Messi leaves and returns to Barcelona then the decision he has made is the right one. The reason is, if the contract is extended, I'm not sure that if PSG finally fails again next season, the risk will be much worse.

Benzema could give a push for Real Madrid for another season in my opinion. He achieved a lot in his career and could end it in a rich league once he doesn't fit in Europe eventually.
He will not be as welcomed as CR7 and his salary will be lower but I assume higher than Real Madrid one.

Benzema will be staying at real madrid for another season again. You shall not feel worry about that. madrid has been extending his contract for another season. He will not be leaving from madrid soon. Benzema is the best striker for madrid even though he has become even older but his spirit makes him look like always become on fire striker on real madrid. that's why benzema is still able scoring so many goals to compete with lewandowski. Benzema is still want to compete in europe and he will not think move from real madrid soon.
Real madrid is still trying to find a successor for him as well. EU player will always use the arabian league as the best place to retire from the professional football.
Benzema has not even thought about that. He is still trying to enjoy his life in madrid,.

Its not about Messi decision want to stay few more season with PSG or not but depending how personal agreement reach both side have complicated offering. Lionel Messi want to get the same salary received by Mbappe and PSG seems not agree for accepting Messi offering, Messi have bring positive impact for PSG this season although still failed in Champion League but his consistency performance helped PSG keep dominance in Ligue 1 standing awhile. Two months left Messi's contract with PSG and not still reach agreement yet until right now he will extended or not, maybe Messi can try Primer League competition for one or two season later before playing with Saudi Pro League or move to MLS competition.

It seems that it's not about the problem of salary, Messi is still considering the offer of a contract extension from PSG. I think it's more because he is not comfortable at PSG. As football stars, we know how hard it is to receive criticism because the team they are defending has lost and Messi has also been treated like that by PSG fans. Therefore, until now Messi is so worried about his future, but if he has to leave PSG, it is better for him to return to Barcelona because there the door is wide open to welcome Messi and the rumors about Barcelona have been so strong lately.

The only thing Tood Boehly should do is to persuade the key players to signed a lengthy Contract for the club. Chelsea in a poor condition this season, I triggered doubts when my colleague told me that blues will be struggling to be in the top 10th spot this season. He was right, Chelsea owner is the main cause of the whole problem. He release money to sign players but the team already sack a good scout, so finding potential players that will fit in the pattern of the game was difficult, they kept signing average players who have no single experience. How do you expect these players to perform under pressure?

[rahmad2nd]

Osimhen is a great player. My opinion is he is actually going to be better compared to Harry Kane right now. He is younger, more agile, and also playing really well.

So, I don’t see any reason for the clubs to go for an older player who will cost around the same amount of money that Victor Osimhen will cost. But of course, I also don’t expect Napoli to sell him. Selling him is going to mean either Napoli is getting a huge amount of money for him or Victor Osimhen does not want to stay in Napoli anymore.

Osimhen is a talented young player, I'd love it if he could play in the Premier League, whatever the club. because, for now the Serie A League is not very competitive in terms of competition, especially this season. Osimhen's career will go uphill, especially if he plays for United. yes, under Ten Hag's tutelage, Osimhen could become an outstanding goalscorer. even so, we are not sure which club Osimhen will go to in the transfer window next summer. because, so far there are only 3 clubs that are serious and interested in him. Even then, it's still just a rumour. and the most likely club to sign Osimhen is PSG, they have the funds to sign him. moreover, if Messi really leaves PSG. so, if United and Chelsea are interested in his services. currently they have strong competitors. meaning, both United and Chelsea must be prepared to put up a fantastic price to sign him. as you say, and I agree with that. it is better to bring in a young, agile and very talented Osimhen, rather than bring in an older player.

Sunday's transfer gossip:

Liverpool are preparing for a summer rebuild, with Real Madrid's France midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni, 23, high on their agenda. How realistic is it for Tchouameni to come to Liverpool?
Manchester United's hopes of signing Harry Kane this summer have been boosted by Bayern Munich's reluctance to get involved in a bidding war, with Tottenham set to demand at least £100m for the England striker, 29. So the saga surrounding Kane continues. He obviously wants to go to a club that will guarantee him winning trophies towards the end of his career. Which club will he choose?
Paris St-Germain are still hopeful of agreeing a new deal with Argentina striker Lionel Messi, 35, despite interest from his former club Barcelona. What will Messi decide in the end? Stay in Paris or return to Barcelona with an  lower salary or a rich football pension in Saudi Arabia? 
Ex-Chelsea and Brighton boss Graham Potter wants to become the next Southampton manager, if they remain in the Premier League. It seems he will have to look for another club after all 
Barcelona's talks with Ousmane Dembele over a new contract have stopped as they are unable to offer the France winger, 25, a pay rise. Does this mean that Dembele is leaving Barcelona?

I don't see this transfer happening in the summer because Real Madrid are building for the future and also bent on keeping the young player for further years at the club with hopes of replacing Luka Modric and Toni Kroos who are likely to depart soon.
Manchester United seem to be very interested in Kane, I will really like to see Kane move from Tottenham but not to Manchester United. Messi’s future with PSG is not certain, Barcelona is calling and I think Messi will want to end his career in Barcelona.

It's not Messi's fault that the PSG team is not working correctly even with having so many great players on the team. It's not his fault that they are trying to make a team around a kid who they have given authority over the other players. And now that kid has developed an ego which is sky-high.

The decision of Lionel Messi to leave the club is certainly the right one. And if Lionel Messi does decide to go to the Saudi League and decide to accept the 400 million, it is going to be a far better decision. No reason to look for competition when you have already conquered all of them.

I have no doubt that he is better than Neymar and contributes more to the team because statistics show it. However, I don't think there's anything that will make Messi stay at PSG. If he wants to make more money, he may value the interest of Arab teams in him. If he wants to choose loyalty, he can make a few small sacrifices to get back to Barcelona. However, there is nothing that would require him to stay at PSG in this environment. PSG supporters hurt themselves by putting the wrong person on the target.

I know what you mean by that player is Mbappe as many have said he was given authority after his new contract was extended last season and this they are experiencing a lack of intimacy but that is not certain of course Mbappe will be very professional and about selfish we cannot judge by the whole.

But Messi still wants to play in Europe as much has been reported but the offer has indeed been officially submitted by the Arab club, now it is still uncertain whether Messi will go to this league with Ronaldo or he will stay in Europe for a few more seasons and of course we hope he survives.

I think he may well finish his career at the Royal Club, if I'm not mistaken, he even expressed a desire to do so, so maybe the leadership takes this factor into account. Besides, why not extend his contract if he plays well. However, I think things may change when they get Mbappe and Haaland

Todd Boehly has given Lampard some tough tasks, and he says these tasks are mandatory for Chelsea. Currently Chelsea are in the relegation zone, ranked 11th in the standings. I don't really expect more from Lampard to bring Chelsea to the top five of the standings, at least being able to get to eighth is not too bad.
Chelsea cannot expect too much from Lampard, the Blues must immediately solve this problem and make changes. Signing Nagelsmann or Luis Enrique is a great option, both coaches are perfect for Chelsea with their young players.

Still too quickly judging Lampard's ability even though in his inaugural match suffered a defeat of Wolverhampton. Rank 11 did not enter the relegation zone and I was also not too sure Lampard could bring fast changes to Chelsea, the following week they would face Real Madrid in the Champions League, this will be a big bet for Lampard because in the inaugural match they suffered defeat.
I agree that Luis Enrique and Nagelsmann are coaches that are suitable for Chelsea, but the problem is there is no further news about the future of the two coaches and we also hope there is an opportunity from one of the coaches to handle Chelsea next season.

In fact, I was a bit surprised when I saw that Frank Lampard will be taking over as the new coach of the Chelsea football team. This is especially true considering that we already know that he did not have a very good experience as the head coach of Chelsea the last time he was there. I hope that this time it will be different from the last time. In terms of making transfers, he is going to have a little more freedom about it, of course. It is my hope that that is going to work in his favor in the end. He will be sort after by a lot of clubs if he can bring good results with Chelsea and if he can improve their results.

i know that for many people money is the most important thing in the world, but there are still people who don't think that way, playing in saudi arabia means giving up a lot and sometimes it means selling your own freedom, it's not easy to live in saudi arabia, it's a country where the laws are based on religion, and a country that doesn't have democracy, it's not the kind of place where you can go and be 100% free. many people keep saying that messi going to saudi arabia will be a very good thing, but the only thing that will benefit messi in saudi arabia would be just the money, because in terms of freedom and finishing his career well with a good reputation, that he does not there will be, the moment a player arrives in saudi arabia, he is no longer useful, and it is a matter of a few years for the player himself to realize that

some will talk about ronaldo, because he is fine, he has been playing well in the national team, but that is due to certain factors such as: the portugal national team played against very weak opponents, ronaldo is still in the beginning, it will be a matter of a few years to fall into oblivion, because the Arab league has no quality of play, the national players have no talent, even if a player is earning a lot of money, but when he enters the field and finds people who have no talent he gets frustrated for competing with these weak players, I've seen ronaldo's passes for example, most of the time ronaldo's teammates can't keep up with ronaldo's passes, and it's obvious that going to play in arabia has nothing good besides money

actually, if we can look more broadly then we will find young attackers who also have big potential like osimhen, that is valencia (fenerbahce striker) and goncalo ramos (benfica striker)

What MU currently lacks is attackers who actively score goals, so if they are lucky to get an osimhen or harry kane, MU's front line will be very strong and they will be able to compete closely with Manchester City next season

Yep. There is no rumor about Benzema leaving Real Madrid. Although his contract will expire in June, it should be extended by Real Madrid management. Benzema is still a very important player and he is a captain. He has a big role in Real Madrid, he is the only Real Madrid machine goal. Moreover, Real Madrid still can't find his successor, Real Madrid has no other choice in the attacking lane (they rely on Benzema).

Benzema already contributed very big to Real Madrid, Real Madrid must be happy to keep him on the squad. Even if they already get Benzema's successor, I believe Real Madrid will try to make sure him stays. Benzema can play in varied positions and Benzema needs to share experiences with his successor. I assume Benzema will stay in Real Madrid for the next 2-3 years.

Folarin Balogun is a target for Milan now. He looks like a really good talent by the way. He didn't have much chance in the Premier League while he was playing for Arsenal. He played for the youth team most of the time and Reims loaned him until the end of this season later on. However he has been shining really bright in the Ligue 1 for a long time. He scored 18 goals in 29 league matches so far. He is actually a quite consistent striker now too.

I even thought if Arsenal would think of keeping him as a good alternative for Jesus in the team after his loan ends. But they already have Nketiah for this duty. Nketiah isn't better than Balogun though. But on one hand Balogun needs to continue to have many chances like this to improve his game more. He is still quite young so I think it would be better for him to sign for Milan after this season.

Of course, he is still a great player. But he certainly does not have the pace or stamina that he had when he was younger.  We can already see that he is walking around in a match and trying to play with his head. He is scanning the field to find the weak point of the opponent. I feel like if he goes to Barcelona right now, Barcelona win, depending on him too much. And that could be a little too much for Lionel Messi to can do.

Honestly, I wish I could see Ronaldo and Messi on the same team. But that is certainly not going to happen. So let’s hope that we can see the biggest rivalry in football history once again.

Yes, maybe Benzema will be given a short-term contract by Real Madrid. You should know that at Real Madrid there is no system of favoring their players, no matter how great their contribution to the team is, if the time is up, the management will still let him leave. We can see the example of several legendary Madrid players like Raul and Casillas, they were not given space until they retired at Madrid.

I think Madrid will probably keep Benzema but it's no longer a top priority. Madrid's management is also looking for another striker to replace Benzema. But if you look at the current situation, it is not easy for Madrid to get a suitable replacement because El Real's wanted strikers like Mbappe and Haaland are unlikely to leave their current club.

There are several clauses coming from the MLS and the Arab league for this player but indeed he flatly refused and chose to stay in Madrid. I think this can also be a good decision even though in the end it is most likely for a one-season short-term contract but of course he can still contribute in the next season, especially since Madrid still really need this player.

It is rumoured that Messi's father has met Barcelona already but there isn't any agreement for Messi to return for now. However I'm quite confident that Messi is looking forward to returning home.

He has been doing a really good job at PSG so far. He has impressed people with his performance for his new team as well. However it still looks like he doesn't feel himself belonging here. He doesn't look willing to extend his contract either. In this case I would also like to see him back at Barcelona. Maybe Xavi is building a different team now but Messi would be welcomed happily there anyway.
