⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Leviathan.007]

~~

That is how England people promotes their own even when it is clear that there is a better option.
I am not saying that Kane is not a good striker, he has been a consistent striker since more than 5 seasons now and he is among the world renowned strikers.
But considering his age and the work rate of Victor Osimhen, I think for a long term plan the Nigerian Napoli striker is a better investment to Manchester United than Harry Kane

I believe the same way, I think Ferdinand said that just because he is a retired player from England and normal for him to say hiring players like Kane from England is a better option than hiring a talented player like Osimhen.
Otherwise there not any other reason to say Kane is a better option than Osimhen.

[D-law]

I just hope Neymar's story doesn't end like that of Coutinho falling from Grace to Grass. Neymar is still a vibrant player, if not for injuries his PSG spell would be better than it has been but nevertheless, I still believe Neymar would be a good signing for United and will improve their game immensely if he joins this summer.

The news of him moving to Man United is what I want to see
He is a big player he needs to represent a big club like Man United with a discipline coach
Injury aside if he is fit he gives his best to the club
PSG year after year just fight for the league nothing else they are not ambitious enough to win the champions league

[Docnaster]

Some news we see is really funny and I just laugh. We all know Victor Osimhen is the gem in the market and many teams are seeming to find a way and hire this player for the next season because of his good performance in Napoli and because of his age, he can be also a good investment for any team and comparing to Kane who is older, Osimhen got a much better situation. But Ferdinand said hiring Kane can be better than hiring Osimhen for the next season.

When it comes to sports media I don't there's any where in the world that competes with the English media. They know how to hype players who should be playing somewhere in the third division and make you think they have great potentials to become future football great.
Harry Kane without doubt is a very prolific striker who's been hitting double figures for Tottenham over the past 6 seasons but considering his age difference with Victor Osimhen and how good of a striker Osimhen is, it sounds funny to say he'll make a better signing than Victor Osimhen.

Late this season, Lionel Messi has been rumored to leave PSG before the end of the season. When the news of Lionel Messi's absence from the club came out, various clubs are showing interest in taking Messi for a huge amount of money, including some Saudi clubs who want to get Messi to their club even if they exchange a lot of money. But so far no decision has been made as to what will be Messi's next club.  Meanwhile, Barcelona is showing a lot of interest in taking Messi. As their club is facing financial problems, they are unable to give any guarantee regarding Messi's salary but they believe that Messi will return to their club again. And if Messi returns to their club again, then Messi will be given the captaincy again, the Barcelona authorities said. Now it remains to be seen which club Lionel Messi will end up signing with.

I understand that Lionel Messi is a living legend for Barcelona, but should he really come back? I don't think now is the time to talk about whether he is a legend or not which is the reason why they want Messi back. But there is something more important than that, their journey is still very long, with a large nominal to bring back Messi, it would be better for them to build a stronger foundation with the money they will use to bring Messi. If they sign Messi he won't be around for long and maybe it will be two or three seasons. But when they bring in younger players, it can be an investment for them in the long term.

If you think Messi is going to Barccelona because he want to reshape their ways of playing and increase their chance then I will say that you don't understand how football work. Messi is a name and if Barcelona confirms it now that they have aggreed on Messi's terms, more than half of players who left Barcelona for PSG because of Messi influencel they will all return back to Laliga and there gate fees will going to be increase as more people will be expecting to turn up for matches just to see Messi and there is likeyhood of a new limited Jersey printing that will generate money for the club; Al-Nasir comes to my mind on how their social media followers move from thousands to millions under a week, that is the power of influence.

To an extent he has a point, though Osimhen is younger but he is yet to prove himself in the EPL or any other major league or even at international level but Harry Kane has proven himself in EPL and at international level. Kane has already established himself in one of the toughest leagues in Europe which means he has high tendency of been successful elsewhere.

Im not getting surprised to see that but i will not even take it. Osimhen has long term prospect and this is not owned by kane. Since kane is aging and he has become even older. Buying him will be so stupid. I don't even know why people were putting him (kane) as favorite player while at the same time. he never won any prestigious trophy. Not even a single EPL trophy has been winning by totenham. People were calling him as best striker lose their sense. There are so many better striker than him.
Osimhen will be much preferable caused by he can still being developed by the team unlike kane. It takes a few years for kane to retire from football from now. Buyin kane is wasting of money. It must not be done by any club.
Just let kane achieve its dream to take a trophy with totenham but that will never happen for sure.

Rashford still hasn't extended his contract with Manchester United and it must be getting more worrying for the team on one hand. Because Rashford has made a huge progress recently. Under Erik ten Hag's management he has improved his performance a lot. He has made a huge level of contribution to the team with goals and assists throughout the season.

But his contract is still ending by the end of next season. This can even encourage some top teams to make an offer for him this summer. I wouldn't expect Manchester United to sell him of course but I wonder if Rashford would think of it.

Under Erik ten Hag's management he has improved his performance a lot. He has made a huge level of contribution to the team with goals and assists throughout the season.

Erik ten Hag says Marcus Rashford intends to renew his Manchester United contract amid ongoing talks between the club and the forward.

https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/manchester-united-news-rashford-contract-27007324
Don't worry, ten hag aware of it. I believe the talks is still happening between rashford and manchester united at this moment. The only problem if rashford is willing to see his salary to be increase. I don't even know whether ten hag has been agreed with it or not but we will see soon what decision that will be taken by rashford. Rashford is still wanna stay in MU even longer. I hope he will not be going to the another club.

He has become a very crucial part from manchester united at this moment.

But his contract is still ending by the end of next season. This can even encourage some top teams to make an offer for him this summer. I wouldn't expect Manchester United to sell him of course but I wonder if Rashford would think of it.

Rashford is still prioritizing manchester united at this moment compared with another club. He will stay in here even longer.

Im sure about that.

Under Erik ten Hag's management he has improved his performance a lot. He has made a huge level of contribution to the team with goals and assists throughout the season.

Although Rashford has made several contribution for Manchester United, but he's just an average above player, he's good but not that good. Rashford is a left winger player, Manchester United don't need to worry because they still have Sancho and Garnacho which play are left winger players too.

Manchester United need to find a good striker, they're still lack a player in this position.

If Rashford wants to leave and reports this to Manchester United, the team will have no choice but to sell him. Considering the possibility of him leaving the team for free at the end of next year, it would be better for Rashford to leave the team with a transfer fee. Of course Erik Ten Hag would be very happy if he stays at Manchester United because he is a player who has strengthened his hand in many offensive areas.

Barcelona seems to be pushing too hard, it's obvious that it's impossible to happen and even if Messi returns to Barcelona it will only be a "tool" for management to make a profit through it. If we look at Real Madrid's competitors, they have completely forgotten about Ronaldo and do not have the slightest hope that he will return to the Los Blancos squad.

With so many things they can do, such as regenerating some of their young players or even making long-term investments by bringing in some talented young players. It looks like Barcelona should emulate what Real Madrid has done in the last few seasons instead of having to rely on legends like Messi who are so comfortable closing their careers at an aging age.

Barcelona and Lionel Messi have a bond which lasted way beyond whatever Ronaldo and Real Madrid had. The way both parties parted ways wasn't as they would have wanted and so Barcelona are considering bringing Messi back to mend old bonds and create better acquaintance which I don't see happening with Ronaldo.

Manchester United need to find a good striker, they're still lack a player in this position.

Rashford has become a player who could fill in the void for Manchester United up front, especially in terms of scoring goals. He has managed to transform into a player who can contribute amid Manchester United's difficulty finding players who can do that within the squad they have. Actually I see the chances of him staying and leaving 50/50, in a sense the chances of him leaving and staying are just as great.

After one of the worst season things could be okay for the Chelsea and new management, and they will no rush for new signings because right now situation is not clear with they are now having just Premier League in next season which they can manage under new coach, but first they will check how many players will be off loaded and which players needed to be in for the long run because too much interference from management they have gone down and now paying for this as well.

I won't mind watching Chelsea play only the premier league next season but they have to do we (the fans) a favor and win it. That's the only way they can compensate the fans

That statement of yours that Chelsea should be able to win the English Premier League for the fans that it is the only way to compensate for their miserable season this year is laughable.  If you are told that Chelsea will be able to win the English Premier League even in the next three to four seasons will you agree. How possible would they do it on earth when there is Guardiola and Manchester City? How would they do it when there is Klopp and Liverpool in the contest? Even in the next season Chelsea team will not be better than Manchester United team. So how will you think that Chelsea will be able to win the English Premier League next season from the 12th or 13th position of this season.

okay, let's say I really don't understand the concept of football by not taking things like that into account, but are you aware that apart from that impact, there are other negative impacts from Messi's arrival to Barcelona if that happens.
Hopefully you don't forget about Barcelona's current financial condition where they have to at least empty around 200 million to balance their books with the players' salaries. now they want Messi on a salary that will still be huge in this case. How many players should they be trying to get out now? don't expect that with the name Barcelona all players will be fooled by salary cuts for years.

agree with your statement that if messi returns to Barcelona there will be a negative impact on Barcelona's finances to spend more money just to pay messi and on the other hand the negative impact will occur to other Barcelona players who must be spent to pay for messi. so this problem is not about knowing how football works or not but it's just that everyone has different knowledge and to be honest I would not actually agree that Messi returns to Barcelona.
because for me without Messi Barcelona is already strong with other players and doesn't need to spend a lot of money just for 1 player who wants to come back.

There's no latest news that said if rashford is wiling to leave from the club. The new report said that if ten hag wants him to stay even longer in the club. Rashford's requirement is not so hard to be filled by manchester united.
Rashford is still very young and he has been targeted by so many clubs right now. I hope that we will see the deal between rashford and manchester united in coming days.
It will be so hard for mu to lose him as rashford was a player that was giving a very big contribution to the club.

He was even better compared with MU's striker.

I am very much aware of the financial level and difficulties of Barcelona but the fact still remain unexplain and transparent about why Joan Laporta wanted him return to Barcelona at all means, in every press when asked about the future of Messia and Barcelona, the responses he gives is always a certainty about Messi coming back to Laliga to come and continue his future and that is all I can say about that, perhaps they have other ways to sort that out already because seeing Ronaldo weekly paycheck, I don't think Messi at this point will want to receive a stippend from his next club, beside Al-Hilal is presented a nice offer on the table for Messi to consider.

That's true ... his time is almost over ... his producticity far more than it used to be , can't help much the current barcelona but weighting the salary budget which it's irrational financially , barcelona should never let messi go at the first place but yeah things really complicated back in the tough times post-covid.

Xavi might look for someone else despite messi is his teammates back in the day , someone worth the money for the long term.

At this moment, there are all kinds of offers for Messi at the end of his career. At this moment, if Messi wants to sign a contract with a club outside of Europe for a lot of money, or if Messi wants to join Barcelona without paying attention to money, Messi has many other opportunities. Maybe Messi has been able to come to a decision on the matter now it is only a matter of time before his decision is announced. Maybe after the end of this season, the matter of his joining the new club will be clear. Even if Messi goes to Saudi Arabia, he will find his worthy opponent there as Cristiano Ronaldo is already playing for the Saudi club. If Lionel Messi can take Saudi League after Cristiano Ronaldo then the popularity of Saudi League will increase a lot.

Real Madrid are getting close to finalizing the deal of Bellingham this summer. The total amount of this deal is said to be around 125 million euros according to some news sources. Dortmund couldn't get much money from Haaland's transfer due to some conditions on his contract. But it isn't the case for Bellingham thankfully for them. They will make a lot of money in his transfer as it seems.

Real Madrid wouldn't refrain from spending a high amount of money for a player that they really like. Besides this much amount has started to be called normal in the transfer market from now on. Because in time players' values get higher and we start to see the current level normal after some time passes.

because for me without Messi Barcelona is already strong with other players and doesn't need to spend a lot of money just for 1 player who wants to come back.

That's the point, they can play better without the presence of Messi. Don't let them lose touch again due to Messi joining Barcelona. I don't mean to say that Messi will have a bad influence on Barcelona, but they really have to consider everything in this matter, lest they have no reason when they intend to return Messi. Once again I say I understand that he is a legend, but does it really have to be that way to honor a legend? I think there are many other ways.

Especially if they don't have reasons that can't be explained transparently what is their goal by bringing back Messi. I think here you are aware of things like that, so I say you are wrong in saying I don't understand football and it seems that here you are the one who doesn't understand football. Football is not just talking about one player, there are many things to consider here. Nothing can shift the interests of the team with the interests of individual players.
