⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[CryptopreneurBrainboss]

Nkuku's arrival at Chelsea is a fantastic move for the club, but hoping for too much from him may be disastrous. I don't believe he's ever played in the Premier League, and as we all know, the Premier League is very different from the Bundesliga, from whence he comes. It may take some time for him to learn and bond with the style of football played here. He's a fantastic player, and his move to Chelsea will be fantastic if the coach can put him to good use.

TBH, I'm surprised that Christopher Nkunku really wants to join Chelsea.
We know that Chelsea finished this season with a very bad result, they were out of the top 10 in EPL. In this situation, I assume not many top players want to join Chelsea because they won't play in UCL or Europa League. Top players mostly want to stay playing in the highest competition of football. But Christopher Nkunku thinks differently, he seems interested to join Chelsea because he wants to help Chelsea to be a strong team again. Sure, it won't be easy for him, he must take time to adapt to Chelsea game style and EPL atmosphere.

What choice does he have, he signed for the club before Chelsea got into all the problem started facing before the season ended. Christopher Nkunku didn't sign in this summer transfer window, he was already a Chelsea player bought during the January transfer window (that's if I'm not mistaking) and was only wanting for the season to end before he makes the transfer to Stamford bridge. No matter how bad Chelsea was playing, nobody believe we'll end out of all European competition but sadly that's where we find ourselves at the moment. Christopher Nkunku is going to be on a good salary and that should be enough motivation to play for he club.

He's a good player and with the new coach (Pochettino) coming and possiblity of signing new players, they'll definitely enjoy their time playing for Chelsea. We mightn't be in any big competition but that gives the players a higher chance of winning a cup trophy in England and giving the fight for the title a higher possiblity of winning it. Chelsea has nothing to lose next season so they should be giving their 100% for the title challenge. Chelsea won't be playing under any pressure and it'll give the new signings enough time to adopt to the league so he's still making a good choice coming to Chelsea.

Guardiola according to English journals will stay in Manchester for atleast 2 more years.

I don't agree with it, you need to leave at the peak of what you have done.

I have also seen the rumors, and i don't believe it to be true, Pep has had his longest spell as a manager in City and i think he'd stay for many more years, well beyond 2025, he has a very good relationship with the hierarchy at the club and he now feels more at home in Manchester, i don't know where else can be better. Having said that, football is somewhat unpredicatble and quite a lot can change before that time for Pep to leave, especially now that he has officially won everything with City, we'd see if it happens.

[X-ray]

Mbappe's game is understandable, but it seems that this time he himself is only participating in someone else's game. Most likely Real Madrid's intention to buy Kane was a bluff to get Mbappe to get active and it worked. With the Haaland treble, Mbappe has no other options but to move to a more serious club than PSG, otherwise he risks falling behind the Norwegian in a clash of giants of this generation.

Mbappe shall have learned a lot from what happened with the former of PSG player. Thiago silva, Silva was leaving from PSG and move to the chelsea and he got three trophies with chelsea include club world cup even UCL. Mbappe's career will always stuck in the same place if he will not able to leave from the comfort zone. He needs to leave from there. Kyle walker was also proving it how his leave from totenham was also bringing him to the win of treble winners. The only stupid players who keep staying in the club that runs in the same place.
I hope that mbappe will try to consider a move to the another club as soon as possible. I heard that if it's not only real madrid. Manchester united was trying to approaching him as soon as he leaves from the club.

I think that MU was also very interesting to sign mbappe as a new player in summer. I do under why MU has a very big ambition to sign him caused by MU didn't have good attackers.
Mbappe can give alternative solution for that. His contribution was a lot tot he PSG. It's possible for mbappe moving to the MU

Many clubs are lining up for the services of Harry Kane, at the moment not particularly club has taken the front role in the race for his signature but as rumours have it, Manchester United are seriously interested in bringing him to Old Trafford next season as Loan striker Weghorst will not be retained for the coming season. The way I see things the race for Harry Kane's signature will end in a bidding war if Tottenham are willing to sell.

I only see two teams who are rumored to be linked to harry kane, Manchester United are one of the the club who needs the services of the striker, they are desperate because their loaned striker flopped and couldn’t live to standards. Harry kane is lucky to still have offers lined up for him at his age he could have ended up like jamie vardy but he is lucky there are no many strikers available currently. When he was younger he had offers but rejected them, he thought he could win trophies for tottenham.

My concern is that PSG will do the same to Mbappé as they did to Rabiot....

Rabiot was a PSG star at the end of the last decade when he decided not to renew his contract. In response, the French club ordered the coach of the time Thomas Tuchel... not to use Rabiot anymore. So Rabiot spent between December and June without playing for the club, in addition to training separately from his teammates and wearing different uniforms.

It was a controversial time, as Rabiot was even punished with a week's suspension after liking a post about PSG's elimination to Manchester United in the Champions League , but in the end he ended up signing a contract with Juventus for free and could still have chosen other "European giants". The problem is that he lost a lot of technical performance with the months he was stopped.

I don't doubt it, but I think PSG could repeat the same strategy with Mbappé even though he is one of the best in the world. Or so I'm mistaken, mistaken and could be that one of the best players in the world? Or will the situation change in a surprising way, as it did at the start of last season, when he signed a renewal after almost moving to Real Madrid?

In any case, to have complete information on the situation with Mbappe, you need to be inside the club and the player's environment. Everything else is just idle speculation, which at times have only little to do with reality. But apparently Mbappe and the Real Madrid management decided to speed up the situation and, without waiting for the next season, arrange Mbappe's transfer already in this transfer window. Nothing else is seen after Mbappe's letter to the PSG leadership leaked to the press.

How times flies, who would have thought that tender Haaland will hits a goal milestone in a top competitive league like the premier league. There are too many stars to watch this season, but former Borussia Dortmund striker Haaland consistently impresses me during Cityzens games. Erling Haaland will almost certainly be nominated for the Ballon d'Or. The 22-year-old Norwegian international won the Premier League triple in his debut season at Manchester City. Pep Guardiola will develop the goal machine so that he can grip the ball confidently and with solid footing on the ball, which will aid in his scoring ability.

Haaland will keep shining and I think it might be boring to see Haaland keep scoring. There aren't many good defenders in Premier League clubs except Liverpool e.g. Van Djik, Alexander Arnold. Currently the clubs with the most solid defenders are Manchester City, Bayern Munich, and Real Madrid.

But in the next season we might see many clubs will have better defenders e.g. Arsenal want to sign Declan Rice, Manchester United want to sign Min Jae etc.

The reason why Haaland can score a lot goals because of De Bruyne, if De Bruyne performance drop, I expect it will greatly influenced to Haaland too.

This is the first major change that PSG is now confronted with ever since the Sheikhs took over the club. Building it up and buying a lot of players is one thing, but one you had some of the best on your team and they all leave within one year that is hard to deal with.

It would then be Messi, Neymar, Ramos, perhaps Mbappe and that may not be all yet. Without all those names a good chunk of the publicity will also be gone, which was one of the goals that PSG wanted to achieve with these players.

Things like this shouldn't need to happen and the management should be better prepared for all possibilities that will happen, at this time PSG's condition is really chaotic after several of their players left for other clubs. The effect is quite dangerous for the club in the next season and even though they have a lot of money to buy new players, but if this is the case then I'm sure other star players will find it difficult to accept offers to play for PSG.

I want to see how Mbappe's speculation will end in the current transfer market, whether he will really leave or will he still stay for one more season at PSG. But according to my belief he will stay this season and even if he leaves it is very likely that the transfer market will come. IMO

But when Mbappe leaves that also sends some bad signals to the rest of the market. PSG won't like any of this.

Obviously that will have a bad impact and will also affect the club's next season because they have to find a replacement that is commensurate with the players who will leave and it will likely be difficult for other players to accept offers from them.

The way I see things the race for Harry Kane's signature will end in a bidding war if Tottenham are willing to sell.

Basically Tottenham don't want to sell Kane that's why they want high price for Kane and before Mbappe rumours appears Kane very possible to Real Madrid but maybe everything will be change because Real Madrid will not giving Kane high priority again and for Manchester United they really want Kane but they don't dare to buy with the current price tag but Kane has a contract until 2024 which mean 1 more season and maybe if Kane insist to left and he doesn't want to extended his contract probably Tottenham will considering to lowering his price because i am sure Tottenham doesn't want to let Kane leave with free transfer so if Kane refuse contract extension which offered by Tottenham then nothing they can do unless to sell him this summer

Mbappe was linked with a switch from PSG to Real Madrid last summer before eventually opting to sign a new contract with PSG. PSG can always find a way around it and keep him till they find a replacement for him. But I think Real Madrid are at advantage because they might not pay the outrageous amount PSG is asking because he has a year left on his contract and might get him for free next summer.

The management of PSG is very smart they can't just let their best players go and that's why there will always be offers of extensions for the players long in advance before the contracts expire.
If Real Madrid wants Mbappe, maybe PSG will ask for quite a large amount with the aim that Madrid will withdraw from being able to take Mbappe.
Next summer I'm also not sure that Mbappe can go with Madrid because surely PSG will keep him.

-snip-

I have read about these rumours but it looks like PSG can't let Mbappe go because he is one of the main players in the attacking position for the PSG team.
If Mbappe really leaves PSG then it will be difficult for PSG to find a replacement for Mbappe.
Maybe later there will be more negotiations being carried out by PSG management to Mbappe so he can stay there a little longer.

But if this really happens so that Mbappe is taken by Real Madrid then this is a golden opportunity for Madrid to be able to have a good attack line for the summer.

As long as his contract is still at PSG, everything can still be discussed, but indeed in this condition I actually believe that if Mbappe is smart and does not want to waste his potential then he will leave sooner or later regardless of whether there is a remaining contract or not.
Even if PSG desperately defended when his contract expired and Mbappe still insisted on leaving there was nothing they could do.
It's just that this also returns to the decision of Mbappe himself because if in the end he still chooses money then in this case the certainty will be the same potential and performance he will lose because PSG and Ligue 1 are not good places, especially in competitive conditions.

You are right, as long as there is still a contract, everything can be discussed and PSG has more power to be able to keep Mbappe.
If the contract runs out and Mbappe decides to leave, maybe PSG will increase the value of the contract or even let him go, but it looks like PSG will keep him.
Mbappe is an asset for the PSG team and Mbappe has managed to provide many goals and wins for PSG.

Looking at this Mbappe saga, I think it's because of Halaand, football fate can be very cruel and cunning. Halaand added a clause in his Manchester city  deal and I think it's because at the time he clearly motioned his dream to play for Real Madrid. Mbappe knows that if Halaand goes there before him and he doesn't move when it is ripe, he will have to join Chelsea or Newcastle because even Barca might not be interested.
Either way, I am sure Real Madrid will make the right choice.

I think Real Madrid will not want to buy him. This is because Real Madrid have their eyes on Kane. Real Madrid tried to sign Mbappe many times before but it didn't happen. Bellingham seems to be signed by Real Madrid. I think Real Madrid will not want to buy Mpabe. But I agree with you that Real Madrid will be a great team if Mpabe buys and it will be good for Mpabe to play in Real. Kane will be better with Mpabe in Real. But Vinicius has already been given the number 7 jersey. In my opinion, Real Madrid are more interested in buying Kane than Mbappe.

Either way, I am sure Real Madrid will make the right choice.

I don't see Halaand joining Real Madrid anytime soon; he's happy at Manchester City and performing well with the squad; he's already won three titles in his debut season; and there's no clause in his contract that allows him to join Madrid; it was just a rumour. And Mbappe, if he wants to take his career seriously, needs to go as soon as possible, but the money PSG is demanding are unreasonable; nobody is willing to pay that for someone whose contract expires next year and who will be a free agent.

If PSG wants to make some money they would have to lower his fees or risk getting nothing next year.

[shogun47]

Mbappe is following a very obvious strategy. He has made a statement saying that he wants to fulfill his contract until 2024, but he will under no circumstances activate the option for another year. He is now playing the ball to PSG management and they have to decide what to do. Let him go for nothing next season? Or sell him and take the money. But this way Mbappe makes sure that PSG will be the ones who want to sell him, not other clubs pressing who want to buy him. That way he can lower his price tag. Real Madrid is definitely ready to join the bidding round.

Seems like the two options for PSG are now to either try to prolong the current contract to a few more years or the second and probably more likely option is that PSG will sell Mbappe in 2023. It is not a secret that Mbappe already wanted to leave Paris before the start of this season to go to Real Madrid but somehow this did not work out. Now it seems that he is definitely sure now that he wants to leave PSG no matter what. The question is, if a transfer is doable at the moment for Real Madrid. They have just bought Bellingham for over 100 M€ from Borussia Dortmund so i doubt they can do another huge transfer in this summer.
Also Mbappe is earning 72 M€ per season at PSG which is by far the biggest salary for a footballer in europe.

When they do these large transfers they also apply some accounting tricks. They divide the sum into several chunks that then go down as an obligation into the books divided over several years. I don't know exactly, but in the case of Bellingham when they agree for a five year payment plan, it is a burden of 20 million per year. That is similar to what what Chelsea has done and this allows them to sign several large contracts with players. They would do the same thing with Mbappe if PSG does of course let him go, but PSG has to decide whether they want to let him go for nothing next year or get some money for him this year. He didn't leave before this season because there was too much money to be earned for him for just staying another season. But he loves Paris you know?

[RaltcoinsB]

I don't doubt it, but I think PSG could repeat the same strategy with Mbappé even though he is one of the best in the world. Or so I'm mistaken, mistaken and could be that one of the best players in the world? Or will the situation change in a surprising way, as it did at the start of last season, when he signed a renewal after almost moving to Real Madrid?

In any case, to have complete information on the situation with Mbappe, you need to be inside the club and the player's environment. Everything else is just idle speculation, which at times have only little to do with reality. But apparently Mbappe and the Real Madrid management decided to speed up the situation and, without waiting for the next season, arrange Mbappe's transfer already in this transfer window. Nothing else is seen after Mbappe's letter to the PSG leadership leaked to the press.

Mbappe's letter must have shocked PSG deeply because I'm sure PSG is not in their plans to remove all three key offensive players from the team this season. After Messi decided to leave the team, I thought Mbappe would play more comfortably, but he doesn't want to stay with the team, apparently PSG have to sell him in this transfer window otherwise he will leave the team for free next year.

[tiCeR]

I'm not sure if this news has been confirmed but what I know is that PSG also defended Mbappe to stay at PSG. because it will be very bad if Mbappe leaves PSG like there will be no strength anymore after several top players leave PSG.
I can't imagine PSG will be able to do well in the summer if Mbappe does leave PSG but I hope not. because PSG really needs the best players like Mbappe.

I doubt the news, Maybe he likes to leave, but as usual, he will not. Mbappe has been one of the major players in that PSG team. In important games where he does not play, we always see how PSG struggle because that his ability to make quick runs and score with just a touch will be missing in the game. With Messi now out of PSG and Neymar set to leave too, Mbappe knows there will be more responsibility for him. PSG will get new players in the transfer market, that can majorly play with him to win the champions league in PSG, he is not leaving.

I wouldn't be too sure about this because Mbappe realizes that he has to change something about his career if he wants to have a career that people will remember in many years from now. Mbappe is a great player right now winning Ligue 1 and being the top scorer in one of the weaker European leagues. He did win the World Cup and performed well, but everyone still thinks that his career is still incomplete and I agree with that. He took the money twice and turned down offers from highly prestigious clubs and now he knows it's time to go somewhere else where his career gets the recognition it deserves. I can imagine that he will leave PSG.

Messi's departure and rumors of Neymar leaving PSG have made Mbappe very influential.
and it is very true that if Mbappe wants his career to be even better then he has to move from PSG and go to a team that can compete on the European stage.
I absolutely agree that if he went to Real Madrid, Mbappe would be much better there but I'm a bit pessimistic at the moment because the player and the Real Madrid team clashed last season.

In professional football I believe these clashes and disappointments are temporary. Look how often a player todays says he loves the club and tomorrow he sits in a private jet going to take the medicine check with a different club. That is how the business works and who knows better than Real Madrid. Also Mbappe is only 24 years old and Real Madrid can't close the doors for him when they ever want to see him play for their club and I am sure they want that as the whole world wants that. He would be a winning transfer in many aspects and Real Madrid will now do what is necessary to convince him to go there. But everyone talks about Real Madrid I noticed. Couldn't it also be possible that Manchester City is negotiating with him and Mbappe would like to play for them and be managed by Guardiola?

Pep Guardiola will develop the goal machine so that he can grip the ball confidently and with solid footing on the ball, which will aid in his scoring ability.

Haaland's dortmund was definitely different with haaland manchester city. Pep was able maximizing his potential once haaland was coming to the manchester city. The different result if haaland was going to the another club. He might not able winning UCL.
Haaland city was able showing the perfect performance as a striker. He was become the top scorer once haaland was playing in EPL in his first season.

The key was on the coach. His performance was not as good as this time. Im putting a lot of applause for guardiola caused by he was able digging haaland's potential. I remember when haaland was even younger than this time and he has been showing his potential. It seems like that haaland will become the next world class striker with so many goals.

He will not stop to make more and more goal. In my opinion if haaland will always become the top scorer.

[alastantiger]

You are right, as long as there is still a contract, everything can be discussed and PSG has more power to be able to keep Mbappe.
If the contract runs out and Mbappe decides to leave, maybe PSG will increase the value of the contract or even let him go, but it looks like PSG will keep him.
Mbappe is an asset for the PSG team and Mbappe has managed to provide many goals and wins for PSG.

It can be recall that Mbappé recently signed a two-year contract extension with PSG but had the option to extend it for another season. However, he has confirmed that he will not exercise that clause, meaning his contract will expire in a year. PSG, facing financial pressure due to Financial Fair Play regulations, has decided to potentially sell Mbappé for €150 million. One reason that is making Mbappe leave is the departures of both Sergio Ramos and Lionel Messi. Both of them had the option to extend their contract but decided mutually to leave Paris Saint-Germain in search of new adventures. This has made Mbappé realize that if these two players, who have won everything and are strong personalities in the world of football, want to leave PSG, then something is not clear.

[davis196]

Harry Kane is getting older so I don't think that Real Madrid is going to accept the ridiculously high price, that was set by Tottenham.
I think that Kane finally wants to win a big trophy, that's why he wants to leave the team from London, but the owners of Tottenham won't let him go for a lower price.
I also don't think that PSG will sell Mbape. Selling their biggest star(Neymar isn't their biggest star) would mean that PSG is giving up on chasing their big goal-the UEFA Champions League Trophy. Mbape is irreplaceable for PSG at the moment.
