⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

Kai Havertz is one of Real Madrid's targets but there is no agreement yet https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1665376608448905219

Yeah it seems like Kai Havertz is Real Madrid's top target and I am very much surprised after reading this news. I wonder how Ancelotti is actually planning to use him. The only thing that comes up in mind is to use Havertz like the way Chelsea used i.e as false 9. The formation that Madrid usually uses has no space for attacking mid-position where Havertz himself very comfortable in. That really leaves me wondering on what are Ancelotti plans actually.

Chelsea is reported to be looking for a good amount, at least are looking to get the value they paid to get him which was around 80m Euro so its gonna be somewhat near 80-90m Euro mark for Madrid to actually get Havertz from Chelsea done.

I think Real Madrid is going to be a very desired destination for Havertz. After all, Chelsea is not his first priority right now. He would actually love to leave Chelsea right now. So that might actually help Real Madrid to get him for a little less than what Chelsea might ask for.

But I don't think it is going to be too much different from what Chelsea will be asking. I also agree that the price range is going to be €‎80/90 Million. I thought Real Madrid was going to look for a good striker. A little surprised to see this move from Real Madrid, to be honest. But not a very bad decision as well.

I don't think there are many options or avenues for him to get into a top team now, precisely because he has been on the bench for so long. He didn't get any playing time, so it's hard to assess his game now, what if he doesn't know how to play at all? I think the path to Chelsea is closed to him...

Form is temporary, Class is permanent. He is still the Hazard we know and loved, he still has those abilities, he may struggle with his pace due to his age, but I'm confident he will pick up after a few games, the skills are there, he just lacks a bit of confidence, but with enough game time he will recover.

I don't remember him scoring often for Real Madrid, I haven't seen him show any class in this team, I think he sat on the bench most of the time... Yes, he can recover, but he'll either do it quickly or he won't do it at all. He's 32 years old, he doesn't have a lot of time to waste on a long recovery

[Die_empty]

I thought that the additional year in Madrid was optional anyway, but I don't know exactly.

He is most certainly another highly paid and aged player who goes to Saudi Arabia.

Thinking about this trend that is quite new, it must be feeling bad for all those amazing players from the past who didn't have the opportunity to make a lot of money one more time just for going abroad for one or two years. Right now it is almost as if these players who have achieved something can count on this final huge payment at the end of their career. Will Ramos be the next I think as he is a free agent as well and wouldn't even cost anything besides the salary.

I don't think any players at Karim Benzema's level will refuse to take advantage of the opportunity to end their football career by earning about €200m-a-year contract in Al-Ittihad. Before now players retire and go to lesser clubs or lower division but the American Major League and now the Saudi Arabian League is changing the dimension. Karim will not have many social or religious challenges because of his Islamic faith and constant pilgrimage to the Holy Land of  Mecca.

It is even clear now that the Saudi league is gradually reducing the flow of these experienced players to the US soccer league. Ronaldo has debunked the news that he will be leaving Al-Nassr this season. It was rumored that Ronaldo and his partner are desperate to return to Spain. It will be exciting to see Messi, Ronaldo, Benzema, Ramos, and other players in the same league next season.

[Polkeins]

This is really surprising how Benzema is officially announced he will leave Real Madrid, I believe Ancelotti isn't stupid, he must already found the player who's can replace Benzema's position. I think we will see a surprising announcement from Real Madrid before the next season started, maybe Mbappe or Osimhen will join Real Madrid?

Benzema was offered 200 million for 2 seasons in the Saudi League, so no wonder he accepted. As good as you are, age takes its toll and how much more could he play at this level for another year? Two years?

By accepting the Saudis offer Benzema can be said to have secured a decent pension and his children will probably also be able to support him for life if he doesn't make financial mistakes. From the point of view of a father, husband and just a player, this is the right move.

After Benzema's earlier statement that the news on the Internet was not true it is now the fact that he has left Real Madrid which has made his football shine.
I also think that Benzema will accept an offer from an Arab club for €200 and that is a high salary at such an old age because Benzema has to enjoy his results now to make more money.
Now that the Arab league is more advanced than the American league or other leagues, Arab clubs dare to pay high fees and players who are already popular will definitely be interested in the offer.

It is even clear now that the Saudi league is gradually reducing the flow of these experienced players to the US soccer league. Ronaldo has debunked the news that he will be leaving Al-Nassr this season. It was rumored that Ronaldo and his partner are desperate to return to Spain. It will be exciting to see Messi, Ronaldo, Benzema, Ramos, and other players in the same league next season.

I already know about Ronaldo who denied leaving Al Nassr now they have to enjoy playing there and there will be more players coming to this league after Ronaldo did it the first time.
Now we will wait for official news from the three players Benzema, Messi, Ramos the three have been confirmed to leave the club now it remains only to see how many Arab clubs are interested in them, and that is what we know that the Arab League will be increasingly popular since arrival they.

Well actually this is very unfortunate especially with the actual contract conditions that still exist until next summer but it seems that both parties from both Benzema and Madrid have agreed to end their collaboration which has been running for 14 years.
I actually still hope he is still in Madrid but it seems he has other goals and indeed a club from the middle east with a lot of money can't be let go.
But on the other hand, with this current condition, of course, we can see how the rating from the Arab League will increase again if Benzema really goes there.

It seems that now it has been decided because indeed the reason for Benzema leaving Madrid was Al Ittihad for his future and that has actually been confirmed by Fabrizio Romano if I'm not mistaken.
Now the decision is made and it remains only to see the movement from Madrid because it is certain that losing Benzema will have a very big effect on Madrid.

EDEN HAZARD says goodbye to Santiago

Once a big name, once a heavyweight and once a talented player who conquered English Premier League left Chelsea FC to Real Madrid with the dream to win the Balon D'or. Someone who was projected to replace Ronaldo and maintain his legacy in Madrid is leaving the club today having spent most if not all of his time in Real Madrid bench.
Anytime I remember Eden's story, it saddens my heart. He is leaving the club after a mutual agreement between him and the management of the club.

This was definitely not what he had expected when he made the choice to move from Chelsea. At the time of his departure he was at his peak and many believed him to be the next big thing but not everything we expect come through, he’s had series of injuries which obviously put a hold on his supposed-to-be upgrade in his career. Tbh I’m happy he is finally leaving the club for a new challenge, I hope for his sake this time would be different.

When this rumour came in and I heard that benzema was going to stay back at Real Madrid I was really shocked because I knew that the choice to stay back at Real Madrid can only be attributed to love the house for the club but considering his age it is better that he accept this move to Saudi Arabia that will give him a good amount since he's close to retirement. Benzema as a player is very successful with many trophies and titles does the name including a Ballon d or. Moving to Saudi Arabia to end his career and make good money while at it is the best decision he has made.

Three players left and Real Madrid are replacing those players immediately
Kane, Harvertz from Chelsea have been on the list for potential signings they need for the future
Hazard had injuries during the Champions League from pavard since then he has not been consistently going

after Ronaldo's arrival, if Benzema and possibly other European stars joined the Saudi Professional League, that would of course increase his rating. not to mention the business from this industry that will develop there. from the broadcasting rights of the worldwide media which will probably focus on some of the stars there.
maybe the club will spend big money, but it will be a good business for Saudi Arabian football. they really know how to make money.

This was definitely the right move. We all know that he was not going to be able to perform at the standard which is expected from Real Madrid for a long period of time. And I also believe that he has had the best career of his life the last season. He is not going to be able to replicate that type of success.

So it is of course just decision to accept the offer he was getting. It was going to be a stupid decision if he did not accept the offer just to stay in Real Madrid. I believe Real Madrid was going to replace him in the next season anyway. Considering all the things that he could have done, this was the right decision for him.

There are more and more rumors of European star players coming to the Saudi Professional League, I believe that with the termination of Benzema's contract, especially with one more season remaining, it is because an offer from this fantastic Arab team allows Benzema's chances of going there to be even greater.

Then there are more rumors that Messi will go there, I just saw a statement from Fabrizio that if Barcelona wants to bring in Messi, they must complete a number of requirements first and there it is said that there must be an agreement with LaLiga, maybe considering that Barcelona's finances are unstable, so there will be very little chance of back to his old team for Messi.

Business? Well this is promising for the Saudi Professional League since Ronaldo's arrival broadcasting rights have increased this league is getting to know the possibility their business will be big if some more European star players come.

Oh yes you are right, it is an optional extra year. i forgot to mention it, and i just checked it. As you said, Benzema is now 35 years old. the question is whether he will just wait for Madrid to find a replacement and then let him sit on the bench. it seems, that scenario has been carefully thought out by Benzema. that's why, he has to accept the offer from Al Ittihad. after all, the salary on offer is very fantastic at his current age. in fact, he could be much better playing there with the level of the existing players. I don't mean to belittle the Saudi League, but because Bemzema is a star. he should still be able to quickly adapt to his new club.

Now, the Saudi Pro League is becoming a new trend for star players who can be said to be approaching retirement. if someone is offered a fantastic salary, it seems difficult to refuse.
On the other hand, let alone Ramos, who has been rumored to be leaving for the Saudi League. in fact, it is possible that Busquets, Jordi Alba, will also be willing to play there if offered a fantastic salary. what is their goal, none other than so that all the eyes of the world are on Saudi. by the way, this is just my personal opinion.

With such a huge financial outlay, it's a trend that will definitely change the outlook on the league.
It started with Ronaldo last season and now it's likely that a few more players will follow suit because in addition to Benzema who is now certain, the rumors of Messi and Sergio are also heard now and of course this will make the interest in this league even greater.

[nurilham]

Not really sure if the news is true but most importantly if it is true that Benzema left Real Madrid I am sure he has decisions and policies that are very valuable to him.
Or maybe it was his goal to get more expensive offers from other clubs and I think Benzema has quite a lot of experience at Madrid and it's time for Benzema to continue his career at another club.

It is officially announced by Real Madrid, Benzema will leave the club. I think it is not very surprising since he is already 35 years old and spent a long time in Real Madrid. It is time for Real Madrid to get a younger striker and it is time for Benzema to have a new challenge in his career. Nothing wrong with the decision to not extend Benzema's contract in Real Madrid, I am sure it is the best decision both for Benzema and Real Madrid management. Now, Benzema has a chance to move to any club he wants for his next career.

Anyway, Benzema must follow CR7 if he wants expensive offers. I'm sure some top clubs from Saudi will give him big offers. But he may choose another option that he wants to return to his country and enjoy playing football there until he retires.

I think we will see a surprising announcement from Real Madrid before the next season started, maybe Mbappe or Osimhen will join Real Madrid?

This is really surprising because just yesterday it was as if he won’t leave the club and will stay back at Real Madrid which I also supported that idea. And waking up today to see the breaking news of him finally leaving Real Madrid after 14 years was very shocking. Looking at the contract he signed with the club, it’s a very great and convincing one that will tempt any player to join them.

This move is not in anyway related to the financial benefit he’ll get there solely, but to also have another chance to play in another competitive league after he has achieved almost everything in his career. This is time to relax, enjoy and have fun with his family. I don’t think the league will be as demanding as the La Liga, so he’ll feel more relaxed and not pressured like in Real Madrid.

[Queentoshi]

Kane, Harvertz from Chelsea have been on the list for potential signings they need for the future

Real Madrid making a move for Harry Kane will make it difficult for Tottenham to keep him with any enticing offer. Harry kane for Real Madrid will be a chance for him to win the Champions league next season and the La Liga, and possibly other medals which is something he needs.

 
Hazard had injuries during the Champions League from pavard since then he has not been consistently going

Hazard still leaves the club with his many medals he won being a member of the team sitting on a bench. Makes his move to Real Madrid not so bad after all.

Tbh I’m happy he is finally leaving the club for a new challenge, I hope for his sake this time would be different.

Maybe it's because the injury that Hazard suffered while at Real Madrid made it even more difficult to find his best performance and I wondered whether a player could return to normal after suffering such a serious injury.

But it seems that what is often experienced by other players also ends up happening to Hazard and he has to accept the harsh reality of not being the Real Madrid coach's first choice. I think that rather than seeing Hazard looking for a new challenge, it looks like he would prefer to retire after leaving Real Madrid.

[BitcoinAccepted]

Hazard seems unable to recover or reach the high level he has always had at Chelsea. Or might he have been overestimated with his transfers to Real Madrid? He has a lot of insight, but you can't compare him to players like de Bruijne from Manchester City. Arsenal are interested in Xavi Simons, but in principle PSG can buy him back first due to a clause in Simons' contract. What will he do do you think? Could it be time for a move to a top European league? Staying with PSV is of little use I think.
