⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Daniel91]

Sunday's transfer gossip:

Mauricio Pochettino, who has agreed to take over as Chelsea manager, wants Mason Mount to stay at Stamford Bridge, although the 24-year-old England midfielder only has one year left on his contract and has not been offered an extension. I think Pochettino will have a very difficult job at Chelsea, much more difficult than at any other club he has coached so far.
England midfielder Jude Bellingham reportedly rejected a move from Borussia Dortmund to Manchester City as he did not want to join a 'plastic club'. Very interesting opinion of this player about Manchester City. Do you agree with his opinion?  
Real Madrid are looking to sell French full-back Ferland Mendy, 27, with Arsenal on alert. Real is creating a very strong team for next season.
The president of Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal, Fahad Bin Saad Bin Nafel, has refused to comment on speculation surrounding a move for Paris St-Germain and Argentina forward Lionel Messi, 35. Does this mean that the football transfer of the century is being negotiated?

@Daniel91 one advantage for Poch is that he can fully focus on winning the Premier League as Chelsea won’t be playing in the champions league, and I believe that he’ll swiftly move on to trim this bloated squad which will allow him to give them a new sense of direction which they have lacked so far this season. Also Messi knows he won’t get this big contract again and Barcelona can’t afford him even on basic wages hence he’ll definitely be tempted to go to Saudi but where he’ll end we will only come to know once this season ends not before it.

Having said that, mind you that Chelsea have already signed a younger striker in Christopher Nkunku (who is 25 years old), i am pretty sure he would be a success at Stamford Bridge, and if they can pair him with a 29 year old born goalscorer, they will create an unstoppable team. But the thing is, Kane wouldn't even want to move to Chelsea, and he also wouldn't want to leave the EPL because he is chasing an esteemed record of highest goalscorer of all time, thus the only option left might be Manchester United.

Christopher Nkuku is not a Natural Striker he is a complete winger, you can go do your findings. For a player that scores twenty plus goals every season then scoring fifty more goals to equal Alan Shearer's record is possible. ( Harry Kane can do the job )

Before saying Chelsea need to find a younger striker, it's better for you to check the current Chelsea's squad. Chelsea currently have David Datro Fofana (20 years old), Noni Madueke (21 years old), Armando Broja (21 years old), Mykhaylo Mudryk (22 years old), Joao Felix (23 years old), and Kai Havertz (23 years old). There are 6 young strikers, all of them have poor performance except Havertz.

Chelsea don't really need to find a new striker, but if they want, they should looking for matured player, but I believe Kane will not leave Tottenham because we're know Tottenham management will do anything when their key players want to leave.

David Fofana and Armando Broja are both natural strikers for that role, how well have they been used, it's quite obvious they do not fit into the squad. Kai Havertz is not a striker, go take a second look, he plays behind the striker at Bayern Leverkusen and that has been his best role. Harry Kane should leave Tottenham Hotspur if he isn't dump, he can remain for two seasons and they'll win nothing.

Reportedly his contract is being prepared by Chelsea management and he will officially become Chelsea coach next season

what a good decision for chelsea owners to choose pochettino as the next chelsea coach, he once made tottenham almost win the champions league, with the current chelsea squad the strategy he made will definitely work effectively and well

Previously, we heard rumors that several media outlets had reported that Real Madrid would bring in Kylian Mbappe along with Jude Bellingham for the Los Galacticos project this summer. However, this news has been denied by Real Madrid (as reported by Marca) and they say that Vinicious is better than Mbappe. Maybe it's not surprising what Real Madrid has said considering that Vinicious has proven his performance and contribution over the past few seasons for Real Madrid, so they don't need Mbappe anymore, even Real Madrid don't want to spend a penny to get Mbappe. This may be like fate that Mbappe has to accept because Real Madrid really wanted to sign him, but the player prefers to stay at PSG with a lot of money.

Sunday's transfer gossip:
England midfielder Jude Bellingham reportedly rejected a move from Borussia Dortmund to Manchester City as he did not want to join a 'plastic club'. Very interesting opinion of this player about Manchester City. Do you agree with his opinion?  

Bellingham might have snubbed Manchester City for Real Madrid but I don't think he actually said Man City is a "plastic club". It will be very unprofessional of him to say so and if he did, he is very wrong. Manchester City is the most successful club in England for the last 10 years and they have a bright future ahead. People keep seeing Man City as this small club that have no history, but they fail to forget that they're writing their history right in front of our eyes.
It is only rational that he picked Real Madrid over Manchester City. Who doesn't want to play for Madrid?

Real Madrid are looking to sell French full-back Ferland Mendy, 27, with Arsenal on alert. Real is creating a very strong team for next season.

Mendy is a very good player and I also don't believe Real Madrid want to sell him. He's one of the best defenders they have so I don't see a reason for them to put him up for sale. Mendy and Alaba are the best defenders Real Madrid have at the moment. I don't believe these rumors.

Mauricio Pochettino, who has agreed to take over as Chelsea manager, wants Mason Mount to stay at Stamford Bridge, although the 24-year-old England midfielder only has one year left on his contract and has not been offered an extension. I think Pochettino will have a very difficult job at Chelsea, much more difficult than at any other club he has coached so far.

To be honest if it will be a difficult thing to be done. Chelsea needs to agree with what already wanted by mason mount to make him stay even longer in the stamford bridge. As far as i know if chelsea has not yet agreed with the salary that being wanted by mount.
It seems to be a difficult job for chelsea caused by the team will not reach an agreement for the contract extension if the club didn't wanna try to increase his salary like what he wanted.

that's the only reason why mason mount is not willing to put his signature in the new contract with chelsea. I think that pochettino tried to reconsider him again as an important player.

I wonder what kind of transfers that have been preparing by pochettino in summer. Chelsea is one step closer to sign him as a new coach for next season.
Im feeling curious about what big movements that will be made him.

I wouldn't be very optimistic about Arsenal renewing his contract - maybe they do it to sell him for a higher price in a year or two? Arsenal have been committed to this scheme for many years and they were only interested in profits and not titles, so it's too early to assume that anything has changed. Although I would be happy with such changes (and if they happened in Dortmund too).

Yes, if Arsenal see this as a business opportunity it is indeed very profitable, but now there are rumors that the business has disbanded because there is the latest news regarding Bukayo's future, so far Arteta said Bukayo had succeeded in pressing his new contract with Arsenal. After 18 months of conducting a series of negotiations, the two parties have now reached an agreement with the result that Bukayo will not leave Arsenal and has now officially pressed his new contract until 2028. Apart from that, Bukayo is a key player for Arsenal, so perhaps Arteta prefers his own interests. the team's long-term financial attractiveness.

Arteta is just the head coach in the team, when business issues are decided, he is unlikely to even be asked. If in a year PSG/Real/City, etc. offer 150 million for the player (which is quite realistic, isn't it with the current rise in prices?) and the player himself will want such a transfer, then he will be sold without problems. Even with Haaland, who has a fresh contract with City, not everything is clear - there are rumors that there are options in the contract that will allow him to leave, so City want a new contract. Therefore, no contract will guarantee that the player will really play it to the end and will not leave for another club.

This is most likely correct because transfers of that magnitude are only decided by the club's bosses, Arteta's word won't have any weight at all. It would be the same if Terzic said to his bosses in Dortmund that Bellingham won't be sold because he has a contract for one more year. That won't ever happen.

As soon as transfers become substantially relevant, the coach is out of the loop. When it is about signing younger players, talents or to fill up a particular position for like 40 or 50 million, then the coach's opinion is probably taken into account.

Bukayo Saka is one of those players where Arteta's voice won't count because it doesn't make sense anyway. The coach needs the best squad on the pitch, what should he answer when the club were to ask him whether to sell or keep Saka?

Liverpool are still after the 24-year-old Brighton midfielder Alexis Mac Allister now. They hope to finish the deal for £70m according to the source below. This would be one of the most sensible deals for Liverpool that's for sure. Because they really need to strengthen the midfield more to build a solid bridge between their defense and offense lines.

Mac Allister has been able to impress people a lot with a high level of effort. His being a World Cup winner has also added extra value in him too. He is just the player Liverpool would make a great use of in the midfield. These days Liverpool seem to be the only team interested in him but let's see.

This is likely to be held back a bit by Brighton because regardless, at the moment they only want to offload Mac Alister for 80 million euros.
Now it's just how Liverpool react to this because indeed on the other hand, for now Liverpool also still really need a midfielder considering that some of their current midfielders are old enough in terms of age so they need regeneration for Milner or Hendersen at this time and indeed if they can If you manage to get Mac Alister then of course it will be very profitable for Liverpool, it's just that negotiations on this price issue will seem a little longer.

There are many other players who are under contract with other teams but in the end, they can still get offers from other teams however, the club should make a decision for that player and for a team like Dortmund that's important to make money by using their young players I don't think if Dortmund rejects the offer.

I wouldn't be surprised if Alexis Mac Allister would be in demand by many big clubs, including Liverpool. not only that, rumors of Mac Allister are also in the interest of Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea. some of the news I've read and one of them from Teamtalk reports, Chelsea are reportedly set to anger Liverpool with a cash-plus-players deal, which risks convincing De Zerbi. a cash plus player deal could see a player De Zerbi admires have been launched, and if successful, it could be Chelsea bringing Mac Allister to Stamford Bridge instead of Liverpool bringing Mac Allister to Anfield.

The argentinian outlet claims offers totaling at least £70m are needed before Brighton accept them. TyC Sport claims Liverpool are in the best position to sign the midfielder, there have even been reports of an oral agreement on personal terms already in place. however, according to a new report from the Daily Express, it could be Chelsea who emerge victorious for Mac Allister. to beat Liverpool, Express said the action plan that Chelsea can do. based on the rumours, centre-back Levi Colwill could hold the key to unlocking Mac Allister's transfer. well, we'll see which club Mac Allister goes to later. because as Fabrizio Romano said, it is very likely that Mac Allister will leave AMEX this summer.

Alexis Mac Allister has shown that he is a great team player in the games he played this season. Even if world stars play next to it, it will still make you feel the difference. It could be a very logical transfer. Liverpool need a transfer like this after a bad season. Other big teams will follow Alexis Mac Allister. I wonder how much it will cost.

As we know, Liverpool is a team that has a very limited spending budget for players and it's been proven that they were only able to bring in Cody Gakpo in the transfer market last winter. Even Liverpool also withdrew from competition for Bellingham in the summer, although in the end Bellingham preferred Real Madrid in the end. I think the transfer fee of 80 million euros is too much for Liverpool and I don't think they will be able to afford it. It seems that if Liverpool fail to get Mac Allister, they will have to look for other talented players and for the current midfield position, Liverpool really need regeneration.

Mac Allister can certainly be a very good player for the midfield of Liverpool right now. Liverpool is certainly very interested in him still. I also believe that they are very serious about him. And as you said, being the world cup winner certainly has its parks. That has certainly increased the value of him a lot. 

I am a little doubtful about the 70 million pounds. I think they will need a little more than that if they want to finalize the deal. I don't think Liverpool should be a miser about this. They should spend and look forward to starting the next season as well as they can.

Harry Kane - Chelsea desperately need a new striker after Erling Haaland, Kane is the best in the business in the Premier League.

Chelsea is rumored to be interested in Osimhne, for sure they have the money for the expense.

We are talking about 150€ millions.

Chelsea spent about 600 million pounds on transfers this season, but they did not get the expected performance from the transfers. Now, if they spend 150 million Euros on Osimhen, at least they will have done the right thing. Osimhen alone can solve most of the problems Chelsea have. I think it's worth the money to spend on his transfer. Also, according to some news I read, there were rumors that Pulisic could be used as a trade in this transfer. Chelsea need to send some players from the team while transferring some players. They were a little out of control in the previous transfer season.

[Docnaster]

Sunday's transfer gossip:

Mauricio Pochettino, who has agreed to take over as Chelsea manager, wants Mason Mount to stay at Stamford Bridge, although the 24-year-old England midfielder only has one year left on his contract and has not been offered an extension. I think Pochettino will have a very difficult job at Chelsea, much more difficult than at any other club he has coached so far.

Reportedly his contract is being prepared by Chelsea management and he will officially become Chelsea coach next season

what a good decision for chelsea owners to choose pochettino as the next chelsea coach, he once made tottenham almost win the champions league, with the current chelsea squad the strategy he made will definitely work effectively and well

The problem is not getting a new manager, but for the management of Chelsea Football Club to be willing to do what is obtainable to move the club to their good old level.
Poch is a good coach and he will need time to adapt in the Chelsea Club, so Todd should not pressure him as he does to other people. If you want to get results, you follow the due process and not the shortcuts.
I still wish many of the Chelsea good players will remain for Poch to use to make his team a stable one.

This should just be rumour, because bringing in Osimehn to chelsea that's struggling to escape regelation is not what a young star like osimehn want now, its better he stay in Napoli instead of him playing for chelsea, chelsea is not playing any Europe competition next season, So Osimehn has not business to sign for such club, he deserved a good club that's competitive not chelsea. but is left for him to decide. if he leaves Napoli.

I don't think with Osimehn agree for joining with Chelsea next season without participants in Champion League, indeed has chance depend on transfer offering from Chelsea and Napoli will priority about which one serious teams and has higher offering will get chance for signing Osimehn. But, Chelsea not participants yet in Europe League and Champion League next season become ambition for all player want to show their performance on Champion League. Seems rumor only only about Osimehn move to Chelsea next season however they have new center forward Christopher Nkunku have reach agreement deal last year and will be Chelsea players next season.

It's true that now it's just rumours, but with the seriousness of Chelsea and if they dare to bid higher than other teams, then Napoli will choose him for the benefit.
When talking about his career if he joins Chelsea then I don't think it's a good thing for Osimhen, however he also definitely wants to compete on the European stage for next season, while Chelsea will definitely not be there for next season.
