⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Awaklara]

Why did Messi pick Inter Maimi over Barcelona. Why? American clubs is a place where players go to retire to end their career and be either a coach or a football pundit like Thierry Henry. The only player I know who moved there and moved out successfully to the Italian league is Ibrahimovic who just retired from football. America is not suitable for Messi , he is going to fad into oblivion. What more can I say than wish him the best in the future.

Messi knows how he will end his professional football career. and returning to Barcelona was not the right choice for him. Messi doesn't think about money, but there are rumors that there are problems with people at the club. so he refused to return to Barcelona.
whether this will be a controversy for Barcelona fans or not. but Messi is already a part of Barcelona's football history. however the world recognizes it.

It seems like that he was avoiding to face ronaldo. Benzema, Kante, Ronaldo have been going to the SPL. It seems like that messi was trying the different choice. It's a bit surprise for so many people if messi was willing to play in the miami.
I can't even expect it to happen. So many messi fans are feeling disappointed with his decision to go to the miami. To be honest if SPL becomes a better place to retire rather than miami.

Messi's career will be facing huge decrease once he will be going there. I hope that messi will able to change his decision to go to the miami but i dunno whether there was still time to change it or not.
I thought that if it was a joke from him but that's the truth.

WTF was wrong with messi.
It doesn't even make sense if he was picking miami due to be away from the competition against ronaldo.

I think Messi is trying to be realistic now and he didn't want to make a blunder that would put him in the same situation a second time. We all know that he left Barcelona because Barcelona's financial situation was in turmoil and Barcelona has no option other than having to sell Messi. So if Messi has worries about returning to Barcelona, I think it is a reasonable thought because even though 2 years have passed, Barcelona still has problems with their finances and Messi knows the problem perfectly.

When it comes to contracts and his standing in clubs, Leo Messi is extremely sensitive. Barcelona have yet to provide a solution to their financial problems, which is the main reason Leo Messi left Camp Nou in the first place. Making a U-turn back to Barcelona in the last few days has a higher probability, but his father, Jorge Messi met with barcà president, Joan Laporta, and the deal collapsed for complicated reasons. I'm guessing Leo Messi doesn't want to be tied down by the club's financial problems, which are forcing players to accept pay cuts; he's worth more than that. For Herons vice city fans, moving to Inter Miami is a dream come true.

I think Messi want to protect his reputation because many people don't like their players join Saudi Arabian teams, they think the players are playing football to make money, nothing more. Messi join Inter Miami and get paid with low amount money, so it will make people think Messi is playing football for dedication.

Messi might want to increase his popularity by moving into the new league where there's no big player on there, since we all know what make Saudi Professional League big because of Ronaldo.

It's done!
Leo Messi has made a decision to join Inter Miami. When I first read about it, I was under the impression that he would be joining Inter Milan, but it turns out he's headed to Miami instead! Honestly, I've never even heard of the team before, so this is definitely a surprise. I just wonder if this is going to be the last time we heard about him! Inter Miami has been struggling this season and are currently at the bottom of the standings in MLS.

I think Messi still has at least two more years of playing at top-level football. It's just unacceptable, heartbreaking seeing him leave European football at this stage. You might argue that it would have been better for him to join a Saudi Arabian club, but maybe he has a different perspective and reason in moving the USA. Hopefully, it's about being happy and doing what you love.

from this problem, Messi seems to be thinking about going to the Saudi Arabian team, which has a higher offer and there are no problems whatsoever with the team or players. there is a lot of news that Messi will return to Barcelona but realistically Messi has a great career and must match his salary. I don't blame Messi for wanting a big salary because it is equivalent to the performance he has at the moment.
on the one hand, it seems that there will still be a lot of news about which team Messi will go to, but I am more positive if Messi stays in Saudi Arabia.

Did you read some of the posts above you about Messi's certainty to Inter Miami? so he has made a deal, no more debates or having to wait for which club will be his next career place. It doesn't look like the ideal club for Messi, in fact, he didn't get any bigger than what Al Hilal offered but there must have been other factors that made him decide like that.
Barca needs a lot of things to do before they can re-sign Messi and may have to sacrifice a lot of players just for Messi and that doesn't look good for the development of the team.

And maybe Messi will play with other players from Argentina because the rumored Angel Di Maria will also be there as a free agent but Benfica will probably be Di Maria's first choice https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1666636821734801408

[shogun47]

As Mbappe mentioned, if he has a dream to play in Real Madrid, any money will not be enough. If his ideal is to become a Real Madrid legend, Mbappe will definitely go to Real. However, rumors began to be heard that Real Madrid were interested in Harry Kane. If they sign Harry Kane, I think we can say that Mbappe will stay in Paris this year.

I totally disagree and he delivered the example himself. If Real Madrid knocks on your door with a great contract and they tell you they want to turn you into the next global superstar and build the squad around you, and you know that all the fans will lie at your feet and you can play in the Bernabeu stadium in front of over 80,000 Spanish hardcore fans, why would you not accept the offer? The answer is simple, because Mbappe got a cash bonus of 200 million or so for staying in PSG and this is not included in his salary. The salary comes on top.

Do you still think that Mbappe did decide against Real Madrid because because his dream at that time was to play for PSG instead of Real Madrid?

We all know that Mbappe has messed up Real Madrid once and I don't think this behavior is easy for Real Madrid fans to forgive. I guess that Real Madrid boards are also furious with Mbappe's attitude and it can be concluded that Mbappe is a fickle player who is more concerned with how much income he can get, so it's not without reason if many people think that he is a typical player who does not have high loyalty.

Mbappe is probably one of the better strikers at the moment but what Real Madrid needs is not a striker with that attitude. So I think Harry Kane and Osimhen would be more promising signings than Mbappe.

Just as an assumption, do you think that the fans would still reject Mbappe when he joins Real Madrid and scores two goals in his first game? These shitstorms and the hating is temporary. There have been transfers that were much more delicate, for example when players switched between Barcelona and Real Madrid. It is all a question of success and when Mbappe would score, the fans would forget in no time what happened. The board from Real Madrid is now no publicly communicating about Mbappe because they know that they can't compete financially with PSG. But I hope that Mbappe soon realizes that he needs to go elsewhere instead of wasting his superstar qualities in Paris.

Going back to Barcelona is not a solution for Lionel Messi so I would prefer him to go to another team, and he did go to Miami for his new season. Paris Saint Germain no longer provides comfort so he really has to leave. Barcelona still really want him, but it seems that both parties have not found an agreement that benefits both parties.

[CryptocurencyKing]

I don’t think there can be a perfect window but I believe there can be a smart window for Arsenal. Edu and Arteta really needs to look  at the options and invest accordingly.

Available targets for cheaper than and work on those.

In my opinion:
Sell:
Xhaka
Partey if good offer comes
Nketiah
Balogun
Holding
Tierney
Tavares if any offer comes
Pepe
Cedric or terminate
Lokonga


- Caicedo.
- Xavi/ Madders (if we can get both) or one of and Gundogan for free.
- A ball player CB to fill the space holding left in squad
- A LB(I don’t have names)
- A striker with Alvarez kind of profile


Some transactions and acquisitions will depend on the outgoings. But they should focus on the important ones first before looking at other positions.

[MinoRaiola]

There are rumors that Messi will join Al Hilal, but his father wants to delay it for a year so that Messi can play for Barcelona for one more season. Will Messi go straight to Saudi Arabia? Or will he make a stopover in Barcelona first?

Messi tried to tell al hilal's delegation for that decision, but al hilal doesn't agree with it. The delegation from al hilal was telling him back now or never. Al hilal will be only offering very big amounts of contract for him this season. Not for the upcoming season.

He is not going to Al Hilal, he choosing America and Inter Miami, and also not Barcelona. Barca is not a good choice now to play there again. I see a chance in management, but not yet. So David Beckham has the next superstar in this Team. The club been around for 5 years and the chances of winning titles with Messi better now. The Football in Amerika been developing well in the last years, there are now many very good player also in womens football, some of them the best in the world.

Messi is aware that he is old and his quality has decreased and he is no longer able to compete with young players even though Barcelona still really want him but I think Messi's decision to join the Miami team was very correct.
many top players who want to end their career in MLS, they play football for the rest of their career while enjoying life in America.
now Miami is sinking to the bottom of the standings and they brought in Lionel Messi in the hope of improving the team's performance, if you look at the competition in MLS I'm sure Lionel Messi can still show good performance with the rest of his quality which is still a little good even though he is old.

Well, he must have picked Inter Miami to move to over Barcelona for a reason. And it's purely his business. Perhaps he did go over there to retire or he may be weary of competitive football which he would surely engage in if he moves over to either Barcelona or Saudi Arabia and he may just want to continue to enjoy playing football without all the craze and completion attached to it and he he feels he can get that at Inter Maimi.

Even if he would obviously get paid much more elsewhere, he decided to go where he truly wants to go. I wish him all the best and even though he may not be in the spotlight like he used to, I doubt he would fade into oblivion.

No one will suspect this transfer because previously it was reported that the GOAT would return "home" or even go to receive an offer from the Saudi league. However, it has now been confirmed that Leo Messi will go to MLS and join the Inter Miami squad. Until now there is still no clarity regarding the salary per season or the duration of his contract with Inter Miami, but it seems that this will be discussed after there is an update later. But what was a real blow was that Leo Messi failed to return to Barcelona and of course the supporters of the Catalan team were very sad when they heard the news of Leo Messi's transfer to the American soccer team.

Messi's statement regarding this transfer is that he doesn't want to be in the same situation when he was at Barcelona two years ago and now he wants to prioritize himself and his family, therefore he has discouraged his intention to return to Barcelona or even go to the Saudi league.

Barcelona's financial condition does not allow Messi to be sent home. Actually Messi wants to return to Barcelona but on the other hand he doesn't want Barcelona players to lower salaries and sell young players so he chooses not to return to Barcelona. I think this has chosen the right one for Messi, because even if he returns to Barcelona he will not be like before especially with the condition that Barcelona is still in a transition period.

Failure more than five times in a row in the Champions League before moving to Paris proves that Barcelona must have regeneration. Lionel Messi was the good old days for us but Barcelona live for today and tomorrow let talented young players like Gavi and Pedri, Frankie de Jong become the backbone of Barcelona.

A 3-year contract in MLS, I think it's quite surprising that Messi finally owns MLS. Indeed, from the start he wanted to return to Barcelona, but he said there were parties who did not expect Messi to return, so the whole process became complicated and unresolved. Especially the financial problems which Messi immediately denied, for him it was not a financial problem but because Barcelona was the house where he grew up. Then his wife wants to live there or the choice of living in America. As for Saudi Arabia, this wasn't an option at all because his wife didn't like living there.

The contract has started, the gossip that has been circulating has been answered and now he is in MLS, his era is over on the European scene and there is nothing left. Ronaldo in AL Nassr, Benzema in Al Hilal, Messi in MLS where Europe will make new history with the seeds of young players.

Messi was already supposed to sign a contract with Inter Miami, but at the last moment, Al-Hilal offered him a contract for 1.5 billion for 3 years, at 500 million a year, I don’t know if he can resist such an offer. Benzema also moved to Al-Ittihad with a payment of 200 million a year until 2026, it seems that money can solve everything. Ronaldo is happy about this fact, he said that now after him and Benzema, many will go to their league, and in a few years it will become top.

Before Cristiano Ronaldo joined Saudi club we didn't know much about Saudi club but since Cristiano Ronaldo joined Saudi club we started keeping Saudi league news. Similarly, before Lionel Messi joined Inter Miami, we didn't know much about this US club, but since Messi recently confirmed that he will play for the club, from now on, we will probably have enough news about the club and their games. I will see  Whether we call it Saudi League or USA League, the reason players like Messi-Ronaldo are signed is to expose their clubs to world football.

[Furious 7]

Big money again for a European player.
Well now it looks like the price of 100 million/season is becoming more and more commonplace for the star players who will compete in this middle east league.

Yeah, since PSG was making it first and then some transfers by big clubs were triggering any clubs to put 100 millions as common price for their players. Even small clubs were also trying to do the same thing like the big club as well. The small club will put high price when there was a player being targeted by the big club.
Middle easy clubs were actually offering non sense amounts of contract. It's even bigger compared with the release clause in EU team.

It looks like when there was a condition where a player like Rice was wanted by many clubs and West ham set a pretty crazy price for a Rice, Jude is now bought by Madrid even crazier with 100 + 30 million there. On the other hand, there are also several players who sometimes the initial offer can immediately be more than 60 million, which indeed makes me feel a little big, but this is a rotation where things like that will definitely continue to happen and there could be things far more than this is for the next few seasons.

Last season, in terms of transfers, I was a little surprised by the nominal value of 100 million, which seemed normal because I saw several big clubs in Europe not hesitate to issue and even bid on players at that price, and now the trend from the Middle East has become even crazier because 100 million per season is really - really really crazy.
This is clear that over time it will damage the transfer system algorithm if things like this continue to happen but indeed this is the Middle East where money is easy there. It is not impossible that if conditions like this continue to occur, more players with big names will move there with the strength of the money they have.

So many teams in middle east were putting it as standard to buy the star players from EU. More big players to come very soon but not for messi.

It's all owned by the owner of PSG. I can imagine how rich the PSG owner is.

This season, several players from Europe's major domestic leagues have headed to the Arab League Pro because after seeing the current conditions Kante and Benzema have confirmed they will go to Al Ittihad and now there is news that Wilfried Zaha will go to Al Nassr to be Ronaldo's tandem there.

With money anything can happen because it will be easier to buy players.

The Arab League is building its league to be more famous in Europe and Asia they will continue to look for names that are more popular with fantastic offers no wonder it started with Ronaldo until now Benzema has followed him by being confirmed and now waiting for an agreement between Kante and Messi maybe an opportunity they will get closer to it.

For the Arab League, maybe a transfer of under 100M/season is a small thing because their money power is so big, so you can't deny that later there will be more interest because money isn't football anymore.
Also hearing the news that several big Arab league clubs are owned by a company of the Arab crown prince.

From last season it seems they really want to try to change the algorithm, which from what we know until now, the prestige of the big leagues in Europe, such as the EPL, La Liga, Bundesliga, Ligue 1 and even Serie A, is a league that really deserves to be given high prestige, but not for the Asian region because indeed they are still underestimated and now they want to try to change that.
The arrival of Ronaldo last season made them rise rapidly and now there are names of several other European players like Benzema and several players who have entered this time and of course this will make them even more popular in terms of popularity. It's just that Messi didn't go there after being discussed a lot because if this really works then this will indeed make their prestige increase dramatically again.
