⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[lizarder]

I think Newcastle can be a serious competitor for Man United in the hunt for Kim Min-Jae because there are rumours that Newcastle has a big enough budget for next season. This can be a tough transfer because when there are 2 teams that are interested in the same player, it is likely that there will be a bidding war, and it can cause transfer values to be soaring.

In addition, there is also news that Sheikh Jassim made a fifth offer to the Glazers and there are indications that it is a final offer. So if the Glazer still counteracts the offer or remains silent, most likely that Sheikh Jassim will step down in acquiring Man United.

Newcastle really needs a few additional players for next season, so they can compete with other teams in the Champions League. Rumors circulating in some media say Kim Min-Jae is also in demand by the Newcastle coach and they are also making as far a approach as possible to woo players to move to St. JamesPark. However I see a much bigger chance for Man United because so far an oral agreement has been reached between the player and the negotiating party appointed by the club.

Likewise regarding the acquisition of Man United by Sheikh Jassim and now the final offer has been made, only waiting for a decision from the Glazers who have not decided anything. If Sheikh Jassim manages to acquire Man United then for next season I think their strength will be far more terrible due to the availability of a large budget to buy several players needed by Erik Ten Hak.

It’s now confirmed that Lionel Messi will play in MLS next season. No more chances for Barcelona despite trying to make it happen. Also looking at this Barcelona side, I think Messi not signing for them is the better option. I mean I'm happy as to the progress they have showed, after the challenges of last season (the after-effect of Messi leaving Barcelona and the financial issues).

So resigning Messi will certainly take the team backwards. He might destroy the  rebuild Xavi has begun because they will want to start building the team around him again, building the team on someone who won't stay for long doesn’t  make no sense.
It’s good for both parties, good luck to him.

Fabrizio Romano has said here we go!!! about this then I quite believe in the validity of this news of course this makes conditions where Barcelona and clubs from the middle east who are ready to bring Messi must bite the fingers now.
Honestly though I still don't really like the pro arab league in this case but I still expect Messi and Ronaldo to be rivals again in their old age but Inter Miami is now getting this player.
Still haven't found out about the contract given but according to some current rumors, but it is rumored that he has some advantages when playing in MLS next season because apart from the lifestyle there is rumored to be a deal with a big brand that goes beyond football but indeed this is still unconfirmed.

It was very surprising, I thought that if Messi didn't go to Barcelona, he would choose to go to the Arab league. But he not choose Al-Hilla offer and prefers to join MLS. In fact, if Messi goes to the Arab League, we will get an inte coresting matches, because we can see the rivalry between Messi and Ronaldo again at their no longer young age once again, and I'm sure it will be a exciting duel. Inter Miami is very lucky to be able to bring Messi.

After going through many rumors for half a year, Jude Bellingham finally answered that he chose Real Madrid as his new home. An extraordinary transfer fee of around 100 million euros plus add-ons of 30 million euros makes him one of the most expensive young players this season. It seems that Florentino Perez did not hesitate to spend that much for Bellingham from Dortmund and the era of Los Galacticos volume 2 seems to be starting soon since Bellingham's arrival at the Santiago Bernabeu. I think Real Madrid will not sit idly by for all competitions next season and they are also ready to compete with other top European teams.

That 103 Million € as transfer fee seem like a pretty weird number to me, but i guess that Real did not want to pay more than 100 M€ now and that 3 M€ on top are probably a nice bonus that Borussia Dortmund was able to achieve. If Real also needs to pay all add-ons then this would make it a deal that would cost them more than 130 M€ plus the salary of course.
I would guess that a big part of the money that is available for transfers this summer is gone for Real Madrid now. I doubt that they can do another deal of this magnitude (to get Harry Kane for example) if they are not selling one of their own players before. We will see what happens in the next weeks.

[BitcoinHunt3r]

OMG, that's fucking big!!!

Real madrid has spend 120 millions only for him and there was also a rumor if real madrid will be also spending another 100 million for kane. I never trust the rumor about kane will be going to the real madrid. Is madrid to become another chelsea?
I can imagine if real madrid will have spent 220 millions only for two players. There are so many positions that need to be regenerated again.

Kross and modric are old now. Madrid needs not only bellingham on its mid even though madrid has some good players in mid.
I will be fucking believe if madrid gonna be another chelsea if madrid will agree to buy kane from totenham with 100million as fee.

Sometimes we don't understand how Madrid sign new players they must have made the calculations I mean Madrid understand the situation
when compared with age, $100 million is too expensive for old players but maybe they saw something in Harry Kane considered capable of replacing Benzema
remember that Harry Kane is 2nd in premier league top scorers 6 goals behind Haaland which means the ability is still feasible for at least the next 2 seasons.

This is correct but I couldn't find any information on the salary they are going to pay him. Not that it is particularly important, but I would like to know because the offer he turned down for the time being in Saudi Arabia is insanely high and Inter Miami must have offered something that at least made him delay his stay in the Saudi Professional League for some time. Apple and Adidas are also involved somehow and it sounds like an interesting deal overall.

But it came to my mind that I think he has a plan for the next three to four years and probably signed preliminary agreements for future seasons in the SPL. Everything else would be surprising as I don't think he would entirely forego a potential salary of 500 million per season. I guess he has a contract that predefines a certain period of time he is going to spend in the MLS and then moves on to the SPL. If anybody has more information to share on that I would be happy to read it.

I am beginning to think they’re lot of benefits with the MLS move compared to the Saudi Arabia contract. It’s been reported, that the deal will also include commercial contracts with Apple and Adidas, both of whom are key MLS partners. So I’m also looking at the big picture. If he goes to Saudi, that’s it for the salary but with MLS, he’s going to have a share of profit from Adidas, from Apple+ and also a new team that he can start upon retirement and more so, he’s going to bring new excitement about football to America.

Messi's interest in returning to Barcelona has been expressed verbally by his father, and that is very important. However, I am just learning that he will move to America to play for Inter Maimi¹. I believe the Barcelona deal didn't work because there are still some obstacles before the deal is confirmed. Like the Barcelona presenting a viability plan. My thoughts on this is that it's clear: the law of supply and demand. If he wants to be paid more, so the American deal fits better. But will this not be the end of his football career now?

1. https://www.goal.com/en-ng/news/lionel-messi-heading-to-mls-argentina-star-confirms-deal-with-inter-miami-barcelona-fail-transfer/blt54557bb7ff50ad64

I am a Barcelona fan as well as a Messi admirer. however, it seems that the agreement between the two parties has ended with no meeting points after the meeting between Jorge Messi and Laporta. As quoted by Goal, Messi's father admitted earlier this week that his son would prefer a return to Barcelona, ​​but their precarious financial situation has ultimately made a final deal impossible.  which in essence, it was Barcelona's financial problems that became an obstacle for Messi to return to Camp Nou.

in the end, Messi has reportedly decided to join Inter Miami. naturally, because Barcelona is experiencing problems as quoted from Goal. after all, Inter Miami's offer made more sense.
by the way, before that many of us thought that Barcelona could not bring Messi home to Camp Nou. that means, Messi is going to Al Hilal. but unexpectedly, in the end Messi chose to go to MLS. well, referring to what you said. apparently, with his contract with Inter Miami, I think Messi will spend his career in MLS.

To be honest, I prefer Barcelona with new faces. I mean, even without Messi Barcelona can achieve a return to its former glory.

[Bananington]

I don't know how many offers Inter Miami made to Lionel Messi so he has decided to go there?
In the article there is no mention of Messi's salary or maybe after the official statement in the next few hours we will know all about what Messi earns.

While in the article Messi will get a share of Apple TV + and Adidas will also share the profits and that's what is written there, is it possible that it will be bigger than Al Hilal's offer?
In the end we will not see two Legends in the Arab League because Messi has decided to go to America.

I think it is a wise decision that Messi has made to avoid starting up a new rivalry that will make him uncomfortable in the Saudi Arabia league. Moving to a new region gives him an opportunity to be comfortable and have his own audience free from comparison with Ronaldo. With Messi's move to a new league, it will increase the number of people who watch the American League. For the club that has succeeded, it is good business for them, their fan base will increase.

Inter Miami is very lucky to be able to bring Messi.

Fabrizio said Barcelona had no guarantees that Messi would return there, maybe that was what made it more difficult for Messi to join Barcelona again, after the meeting between Jorge Messi and Laporta could not change anything and Messi chose another league, namely MLS.

I think it will be closer to Al Hilal because as many media reports say, I would also like to see them duel again but that hope will be dashed because Messi prefers MLS to the Arab League.
The charm of MLS will increase again after Messi's arrival, because there are many Messi fans around the world.

I will be fucking believe if madrid gonna be another chelsea if madrid will agree to buy kane from totenham with 100million as fee.

In my opinion, this fee is still quite reasonable considering Bellingham is still 19 years old, especially since he is a talented player during this season. For Kane I don't think Real Madrid will spend more than 100 million euros because I read earlier in the news that Real Madrid have already made an offer for a transfer fee of 80 million euros, now the decision lies with Spurs and also Harry Kane how they respond.

For the midfield it seems that it is quite complete because there will be Valverde, Bellingham and Camavinga, while Modric, Kroos and Tchouameni will be the back-up. Maybe Ancelotti will buy an additional winger to replace Asensio. Real Madrid is not another Chelsea, as we know Real Madrid has the Los Galacticos project which appeared decades ago by bringing in several star players and for Real Madrid this massive player spending activity is normal. What's more, they buy players for long-term projects, not just for one or two seasons.

Even though it's still decent, the price is still quite debatable, I think because regardless of his performance, at his current age, the price for Kane is too high.
But this is Madrid with their money power which is sometimes as you say difficult to understand as long as their wishes can be achieved without obstacles they are ready to spend more in financial matters.

Real Madrid don't chase twice, it gladdens mam to.see that he made the right choice choosing Real Madrid over, Manchester City, Liverpool and Manchester United.
Also, I'm happy to see that he'll work with players like Luka Modric and also Toni Kroos who are serial winners when it comes to the game. This has got to be the best decision he's taken for his career. Oke thing is sure for him, winning either of the La Liga and Champions League in the next five seasons ahead.

I wasn't expecting the switch to Saudi Arabia for Ngolo Kante, but it seems like Mauricio Pochetino already communicated with him already. Bunch of lucks to him as he moves over that league.

[rdluffy]

I want to give my 2 cents too  
I just saw the news that Messi has signed with Inter Miami (Beckham's team).
As a fan and a supporter, I am sad for having practically ended the chances of seeing Messi play another Champions League with Barcelona, and with a strong team, to have a chance of winning the title, since Barcelona is already good, and will get reinforcements for next season.

In my opinion it doesn't make any sense to go to Saudi Arabia, Messi has already seen what happened with Cristiano Ronaldo and doesn't want to have the same experience.
The USA is a country that Messi already knows well, he has a house there in Miami, he has a lifestyle similar to the one he has in France and had in Spain. Besides the fact that the USA is closer to Argentina.

Besides this, we must also consider the fact that the next World Cup will be in the United States in only 3 years, and the Copa America will also be there in 2024.
Soccer in the country is developing, there is a lot of money to be made, the audience should increase with the arrival of Messi, and the player can still earn a lot with partnerships and sponsorships.
Even more with real chances of Messi playing the Copa America for Argentina, and who knows, maybe even one more cup.

A few days ago I made a post betting that he would go to Barcelona for a season and then go to the USA.
It was supposed to happen, but unfortunately Barcelona didn't get the necessary elements to close the contract with him.

They don't want to be caught off guard, so they dare to set a high enough price in the clause.
The move was actually quite good and also quite brave considering they also realized that prolonging the negotiations could actually make things complicated so that they immediately hit a fantastic price.
Actually I'm also not too surprised by this because of course seeing from some of the previous discussions about Jude it is indeed possible for him to be in Madrid next season.

[Distraction]

Real Madrid need to fill in the spots left vacant since they will be transferring out their star player who has been a staple of their La Liga squad in Karim Benzema.

There are always rumors about Harry Kane transfers but they never seem to be valid enough in which team him and his agent decides to go. I have always thought him to be loyal to the English Premier league since he is British. And would never leave outside the EPL.

Manchester United are another interested team in Harry Kane these days. As we both said that his priority would be to stay in the English Premier League his first choice would be the Red Devils I guess. The only and important problem here is whether Manchester United are ready to pay a big sum of money to sign a 29-year-old striker now.

Of course it is still Kane we are talking about so I think he is worth it anyway. Because his age shouldn't mislead anyone. He has the capacity to play at his top performance for many more years. He can be like Benzema for Real Madrid for example. Football is an industry from now on so technically a sum around 100 million euros isn't that much enormous for rich teams.

Real Madrid thought that Harry Kane is someone that actually will perform really well as the main striker. After all, he has proved himself in the English Premier League. That it is not going to be a big problem for him to actually performed in the La Liga as well. It is actually a little surprising to see Real Madrid prioritizing experience over youth. Especially in this era where fast paced football is much more trending.

The decision to buy Jude Bellinghan was a big step taken by Real Madrid. I think the value of the investment made by Madrid will not be in vain and I think that figure is very normal. For the midfield, Madrid already has a great midfielder and of course he can be relied on for the long term. But right now Los Blancos also have to add several players up front to fill the void. At the moment, only Rodrygo and Vinicius are the only reliable front line for El Real, while for the position left by Benzema, he must immediately find a suitable replacement because it will be very risky if the single striker position is not filled with players with enough flying hours.

[Captain Corporate]

Definitely shocked to learn about Messi to Miami. Thats actually a pretty decent thing when all things said and done. First of all Miami is one of the most crowded Spanish speaking nations there is, and as we all know Messi speaks Spanish as well, which benefits him on his regular life, not like he goes to grocery store to buy a carton of milk, but it must come in handy. Secondly he is said to be paid based on revenue, he didn't leave for "a lot of money" that arabic teams offered, not because money didn't matter to him, it does, but he rather earn a share of the revenue he himself generates, Arabic teams offered him fix money, if they made more thanks to him, that's their profit, instead now Messi will earn his own revenue back. And lastly, MLS is just a bit more respected, lets face it, SPL is getting more famous due to ronaldo benzema etc etc, but MLS has been the "retirement home" for many, as old as Beckham getting record fee even all the way back. So I guess it should be fine, I don't think it would really change all that much.

[Leviathan.007]

Jude Bellingham officially Real Madrid and again Dortmund is another young talent,
I feel like Dortmund is making wrong decisions over and over. They lost Haalnd last time while he could be a great player to help Dortmund and now again they lost Bellingham while he could be a key for them to earn more achievements in the next season.
