⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Sterbens]

Not only Manchester united, Boely is also determined to sign Kane at any cost, but every player has the right to make their own choices as long as there is no contractual obligation tying them to a particular club. Regarding Kane's loyalty to Tottenham, he has spent his entire career with the club and has never been sold as he is a valuable asset to them. While he has been loaned out to other clubs in the past, since the termination of his loan with Leicester City, he has not been loaned out again. This has allowed him to focus on his performance and contribute significantly to Tottenham's success, leading him to become their highest goal scorer, I doubt if the guy is going to leave anytime soon for another club.

Kane is one of the best strikers. Kane has long been linked with the Tottenham exit, there are several big clubs such as Manchester United and Manchester City who are reportedly interested in him. So far Tottenham are in the top five of the standings which can be said to be a good achievement for Tottenham. I don't think Kane will be leaving Tottenham in the near future, most likely Tottenham will not sell him because this is a valuable asset for the progress of his club. Coupled with the position of Tottenham who are in the top five standings.

So far, I do not quite understand this decision by Real Madrid. if it was possible to split the players into parts, then I would think that this is a 60% replacement for Modric and 40% for Benzema  But since this cannot be done, it may turn out that it will be neither one nor the other, and there will be no result either. In addition, he is 31 years old so this is not a long-term project.

Maybe they are looking for a  reliable backup option for Benzema. Firmino has the experience and I think it's a decent move if they are targeting that. Benzema is getting old also so he also might pickup a knock and go out for a long term so in that case they need to rely on someone experienced. Getting a new player with potential is not a worthwhile as the new player will seek regular opportunities and Madrid knows they can't ditch Benzema so getting a new player isn't an option.

I feel like Firmino will go back in Brazilian league and play there. Maybe can give a year or two in the middle and then move but I feel eventually he is gonna end up there.

The only reasonable (albeit dubious) option is that Firmino is a temporary option until Real Madrid poach a new top striker like Mbappe/Haaland. Benzema will be at Real Madrid for another year but if this year is like this one when he missed a lot of games, then Real without a second striker will suffer a lot - that's what Firmino will be hired for (if will). And by the way, yes, Latino players retire early on average, so he doesn't have much time ahead of him.

Valuable asset for what? Kane becomes even older and he has never achieved a great trophy in his career. To be honest. There's nothing special about him. He was just an ordinary striker that was making a record in totenham but not in EPL.
I think that any club shall try to avoid buying him from totenham. Just letting him retire in totenham will be so good. It will be far better rather than trying to waste huge amounts of money for a garbage striker like him.
What great achievement was ever achieved by him? Nothing. Even he never won EPL. Priced him 100m? it's a big joke from totenham. It will be no brainer if there was a club that wanna buy him with big amounts of money.

If Real Madrid actually wants to sign Firmino, it is a tactical move to have a strong backup for Big Benz as you guys have already said. No young and hot striker would like to go play for Madrid when Benzema is still active in the club. Honestly they cannot contest with Benzema.
The best thing to do is to get Firmino who will deliver incase of Benzema injuries and who also will not complain when he is being played from Bench.
However, it is becoming more obvious that Real Madrid will like to go with Benzema for more seasons, maybe 2 more seasons, that is why they want Firmino option

Actually, Firmino is not very suitable for Madrid and the task he gets to cover Benzema is clearly not optimal. Even though at the moment Madrid is trying to glance at Firmino, if there are other options then it is possible that Firmino can be forgotten. This year his contract will expire even though Jurgen Klopp still wants him to stay at Liverpool. Madrid chasing Mbappe or Haaland? nothing will materialize even if Man City can raise a bigger salary for Haaland there, no one can take Haaland so far from Man City and Mbappe who arguably has disappointed Madrid many times because it gives false hope he will be tied to PSG even though Mbappe felt uncomfortable there.

It is rather complicated to choose the right player for the benzema coating at Real Madrid. Even so, it has been a long time since Real Madrid have not spent on star players and have maximized the young players in their academy. Actually, Firminho is still quite a good cover for one season, but if Real Madrid are not satisfied then they have to find a striker that is commensurate with Benzema. On the other hand, Haaland and Mbappe are both just rumors that will never come true for Real Madrid.

Saturday's transfer gossip:

Chelsea are prepared to make Barcelona and Spain midfielder Gavi one of the top earners in the Premier League in order to sign the 18-year-old.
The Blues are also confident they can win the race for Napoli and Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen, 24, even without Champions League football next season. Will that happen? Chelsea wants to bring in a lot of players, but which of all their player wishes will be fulfilled in the end?
England striker Harry Kane, 29, will wait to reassess a new contract at Tottenham once the club has appointed a new manager, amid interest from Manchester United and Bayern Munich. Does this mean that there is a chance that Kane will stay at Tottenham after all the talk that he is going to a new club?
In addition to Colwill, Liverpool are also interested in Chelsea's England midfielders Conor Gallagher, 23, and Mason Mount, 24. What in the end of all these plans Liverpool will come true?

All of those offer's are nothing but complete rumors and speculations, no matter how hard a club does, Gavinis a Barcelona bound player he will never leave Barcelona.
Yes! Chelsea has done a good deal with Napoli before this season, I still think much can still be agreed with Napoli still with Victor Oshime, he is the right player for the club and also a new coach to lead the lads.

I'm sick and tired of the name Harry Kane, I still wonder how many more years he wants to play for a trophyless side, staying a season further will leave his career profile in jeopardy. He has no chance of winning any trophy no matter the high quality manager brought in.

I doubt that Real Madrid is really considering to sign Firmino as their replacement for Karim Benzema when he leaves the club after the next season. Don't get me wrong Roberto Firmino is a great player that showed great performances in every club that he has played for so far, but i don't really think that he is really an absolute world class striker. He also is already 31 years old, so he is definitely no young player anymore. If Real is considering to sign him, then i only think as a back-up for Benzema for the coming season and then for the striker that comes to replace Benzema, but not as the number 1 attacker.

Yeah that seems to be the plan for Madrid. I am actually curious and also excited to see what striker they are gonna get next. There are lot of strikers now with immense potential and with Mbappe's contract till 2025 maybe possible they are looking for someone else?. Remember there is hot talent like Osmihen also there. Whatever it is I really want to see what Madrid signs in 1 or 2 years.

Speaking of current strikers other than Firmino, rumors of other players such as Marcus Thuram and Dusan are currently coloring the current media coverage.
Some time ago I read about Dusan who was new to Juventus and had ups and downs in form there.
On the other hand, Marcus Thuram has also been mentioned several times, especially since his contract is running out at Mocnhengladbach.
This could also be an option for Ancelotti when thinking about who could be the successor to Benzema.

Of the 13 names that Erik ten Hag plans to sell with the club, I think Wan Bissaka and McTominay are still good enough for Manchester United. I don't know what Erik ten Hag was thinking until he released the names of his very many players, especially apart from the names of the two players I mentioned above, it is true that the others had no contribution to the club and only added to the burden on the club. For Raphinha I don't think that he will want to leave Barcelona to go to another club because he is still very comfortable with Barcelona so far.

Well, if that happens then next summer's Ten Hag era will begin soon. I mean, he will bring in players according to his wishes. that way, United will be much better than what they are currently showing. some of the names included in the sale list, did not really contribute and rarely even got minutes to play. for McTominay, I agree if United let him go. because, he did not have the capacity that Ten Hag wanted in his project with The Red Devil.

I'm quite optimistic, in the next season Ten Hag will change the system. yes, as far as my analysis goes, Ten Hag doesn't really like any of his players who are positioned as playmakers. next, it seems, Bruno will be shifted to become a winger. by the way, Ten Hag's target for the upcoming transfer market is a player who plays in midfield. plus, pure striker. and if Ten Hag is authorized by United's management regarding the purchase of players in the coming season, I am optimistic that Manchester United will become one of the strong challengers for the EPL and UCL titles.

I don't think they can do this transfer so easily. Victor Osimhen will be one of the most popular football players of the transfer period. There will be many giant clubs that will want to transfer him. Chelsea will be forced to compete with them. I don't think it would be easy under these circumstances. Also, Chelsea have made many important transfers, but these transfers will lose value as they will not be able to display them in the champions league next season. I think they are in a very bad way in all aspects. Lampard should give them a magic touch. I don't know how that will happen, but they need a tremendous change.

[Minor Miner]

According the rumor Jose Mourinho linked will be AL Nassr manager after sacking Rudi Garcia, but I did sure with The Special One want to leave Europe team and joining with not really competitive league although fantastic salary offering. Zidane seems not really interested back to be manager after retired several years ago, he still enjoyed moment without become manager on any team yet after linking become France national team manager but failed with Deschamp extended his contract.

Al nassr already offered him a very big salary. The problem is mounrinho is not interested in managing the arabian club right now. He is still enjoying to focus in the european club. The chance for him to join with al nassr is still low right now. According to the latest rumor if mourinho was prioritizing PSG rather than joining with non europa club. Mourinho has been clarrifying if he was not putting money as everything in his life, He is still wanna achieving more and more achievements before he will be retiring from managing the club. The special one is always act differently compared with another coach.

I want to see Jose Mourinho back to be Primer League team manager because there are many competitive team and looking war again how his reputation with Primer League team from Chelsea until Manchester United.

Me too but let's see how all the stories will be going on. I meant the chance for mourinho to go back to the chelsea is really big at this moment. At the same time, enrique may be a coach with the biggest potential to coaching chelsea started from the next season.
It will always be surprise to see which team that the coach will pick.

There is no probable future where I see Zinédine Zidane joining Al Nassr. It doesn’t matter how much the money is. He is certainly not going to join in my opinion.

Jose Mourinho might choose money. After all, he has already produced quite a bad impression of himself. But I wonder if he is going to go to a league that is basically not competitive from where he is right now. But if he is given a choice between the Saudi Ligue and English Premier League, I certainly think that he should go for the Premier League.

The players will reconsider joining Chelsea at this time, that's because their condition is in chaos. Gavi is a young player owned by Barcelona, I don't think Barcelona will let go of their potential players easily, yes, although in the end money will be the reason why they will let go of Gavi.
It's true that Victor Osimhen is in the target of a big team, Chelsea have to compete with a team that is better than them in terms of performance, it's not easy.

Many players shone in the world cup, but after that many began to fade at the club and that is also what James Rodriguez is experiencing. We cannot comment further because this returns to the player himself, he should be able to process better what is needed by the club so that he is still needed by the club. However, until now we have not seen James become a consistently brilliant figure and must see him in a league that is far from the reach of Europe's top league football connoisseurs. I think he has to accept the offer from one of the Turkish clubs if he still wants to continue playing football at such a young age.

It is shocking how James Rodriguez's career has dropped drastically, he used to be one of the top  players for Real Madrid but slowly declined until he made a move to Everton under Ancelloti which looked like a revival at that point but unfortunately things went back to its previous state, I feel sorry for him though, now I can barely mention him as a successful player.

I've heard that Chelsea are planning another move for Raphinha in the summer. You know how Barcelona joined the race for signing him and stole him from Chelsea's hands as well. Chelsea must be planning a retaliation but I don't know about this. Because it seems like a far possibility for me to see him leaving Barcelona for Chelsea now. It wouldn't be better for him to join a team that won't be a part of the Champions League next season.

Barcelona have been unsuccessful in the Champions League recently maybe but they can still improve this by next season. Besides they are about to declare their La Liga title soon. Raphinha has no problem with finding so many chances to play as well so he would prefer to stay I guess.

Raphinha is a good player, he's very good with the ball and has the ability to dribble past defenders with his skills, I agree he will be a good signing for Chelsea if they can get a deal for him done but for now I am also not sure if this news hold much stand.
Barcelona will also be recruiting to boost their squad depth, I am also aware they will be looking to sell some players to ease the wage burden but I'm not sure if Raphinha makes that list of possible outgoings.

There are reports that Barcelona have signed a contract with Ilkay Gundogan. I think Manchester City are making a big mistake not signing him for a few more years. Pep still gives him a jersey in some matches and he does not hesitate to take on important tasks in those critical matches. Also, things like waiting on the bench and entering the game later are never a problem for him. He plays like a full duty man. I think they should have signed a short 1+1 year contract with an experienced football player like him. On the other hand, if Barcelona really sign him, I don't think he will have a problem getting used to the pace of LaLiga.

[Spack17]

I don't see Osimhen's signing for Chelsea as realistic at the moment. Because Chelsea have literally nothing to offer to him. I mean the most important thing is a ticket for the Champions League but they can't even offer this. I don't expect Chelsea to eliminate Real Madrid of course and there is no chance for them to make this happen in the English Premier League by entering top 4 either.

Chelsea will need to be patient about signing this kind of players as long as their teams are more successful than Chelsea. Osimhen would be a target for some other big teams as well indeed. But I don't know if Osimhen would be eager to leave anyway. It might depend on which team wants him maybe. Because Napoli are about to become the champions in the Serie A and they have been doing good in the Champions League too.

He would prefer to stay unless a better team makes an offer I guess.

This rumor has been denied by Ilhan Gundogan who is an uncle and agent of Ilkay Gundogan which of course destroys previous rumors.
And indeed this argument is quite reasonable because of course at this time what Barcelona actually have to do is not add players but reduce their players so they don't continue to be in contact with the local financial authorities in the midst of their difficult conditions.

We all know, now that Victor Osimhen is in good form, it won't be easy for the Chelsea team to get him, they must first compete with a team that is also after him. Their competition is not easy because as you can tell, they will not be playing in the Champions League next season. Because players will definitely consider a better team than Chelsea to be their team.

Who do they really want from Man City some says it is Beenado Silva, some says it is Gundogan
Gundogan would be better he is a free player in months Ahead and he will make a good team for Xavi Hernandez
Oshime is the perfect signature for Chelsea but how will je go to a club that has no champions league
