⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[ajiz138]

as reported by the 'guardian', both pl clubs manchester united and fc chelsea are making efforts to sign the 27-yo keeper André Onana (inter). according to the report, 'the blues' would already be willing to listen to offers for their goalkeepers Kepa Arrizabalaga and Edouard Mendy - the resulting problem would be solved by the cameroonian. 'the devils', on the other hand, he could succeed David De Gea, whose contract expires this summer and with whom no agreement has been reached so far...

It seems that there is still no certainty from Manchester United because they have not even made an offer to Inter Milan, on the other hand Erik Ten Hag looks at his budget and depends on David De Gea's decision, if he does not extend the contract then it is likely that the main thing to do is Erik Ten Hag is chasing the Inter Milan keeper because he is skilled enough to play with Inter Milan.

I read other reports about Chelsea there is also interest in Andre Onana, but they only want to exchange a few players but that is not a definite agreement and at the moment I don't know what price Inter Milan wants for Andre Onana, or what it will be. keep it as the main goalkeeper.

There are reports that West ham United rejected the first bid made for Declan Rice and that they were unimpressed by both the size & the structure of Arsenal’s first offer. As Arsenal have made him as their primary target this season I expect Arsenal to make another bid, even though Manchester City will also come in for Rice. IMO I think West ham are just playing to get Arsenal to pay up on time. Manchester City don’t need him and Manchester city isn’t like Todd Boehly that would sign player because rivals want to sign him.

I think that Arsenal's offer is still below West Ham's expectations and with Declan Rice's contribution in bringing West Ham to win the conference league this season, of course the transfer fee will also increase. Arsenal also don't seem to want to give up on Declan Rice because he really needs a defensive midfielder who is young and has a high stature, maybe that's the reason Arsenal really need his services. We will wait for further developments later and indeed it seems that Declan Rice will still choose Arsenal over other teams and for Manchester City they understand very well what is happening in the transfer market and of course they will not be too hasty in taking action.

Declan Rice is an asset for West Ham so if another club wants him there will definitely be a high price, while Arsenal themselves already have players who are significant enough to bring them a championship.
We can see that for the Premier League, Arsenal had a great chance of becoming champions but because they felt they had succeeded and were too confident they were complacent so that Manchester City could take over that position.
Manchester City only need a few players in defense so it is very necessary to transfer players in the defender position.

I think West ham want the fee structured in two installments. That’s all they have been saying. But right from the beginning, I’ve always seen that West Ham wanted the fee over 2 seasons. If Arsenal knew they couldn’t do it then, why didn’t they just tell them their stand and move on if need be. With Manchester city indicating interest, i feel West Ham will be interested in what Manchester City may be able to offer for Rice, which will further delaying Arsenal’s plans to make a swift move for their him.

Ready with popcorn?

Oh yes, there is lot of tension between the club and Mbappe but Mbappe has been very clear about his stance but PSG are the ones dragging it the wrong way. Now that this has started, I am wondering how this is gonna end. As of now, Mbappe will leave if a proper bid acceptable to PSG arrives.

Arsenal can add more money for the next bid. The problem is some big clubs are also interesting to sign him as well. Arsenal must try to agree with price tag that being given by westham.

Talks between Arsenal and Rice is good and which is why despite other clubs being interested, we are leading the race. I would say a bit over 100m Euro mark should be OK for West Ham to accept. Rice can give us really a good edge in midfield

Even manchester city and chelsea have been rumored interested to sign him. I hope that city will try to buy him from westham. He is a valuable player for the future.

Last time I checked, City were advanced in Kovacic to City while Chelsea have been busy selling players and negotiating about their price tags. City might go for him but Chelsea in current situation, I don't think so.

He will able to become a replacement for gundogan once he leaves from manchester city. City will able to give what westham wanted easily.

*If he leaves*. There are lot of clubs interested in Gundogan right now but let's not forget that City has put a one year contract extension also before him. So its Gundogan's choice right now where he goes.

It seems that there is still no certainty from Manchester United because they have not even made an offer to Inter Milan, on the other hand Erik Ten Hag looks at his budget and depends on David De Gea's decision, if he does not extend the contract then it is likely that the main thing to do is Erik Ten Hag is chasing the Inter Milan keeper because he is skilled enough to play with Inter Milan.

I read other reports about Chelsea there is also interest in Andre Onana, but they only want to exchange a few players but that is not a definite agreement and at the moment I don't know what price Inter Milan wants for Andre Onana, or what it will be. keep it as the main goalkeeper.

if Andre Onana agrees to join MU, then Ten Hag may not consider De Gea again. and as rumor has it De Gea can also find another club willing to sign him. now there will be more rumors regarding Saudi clubs interested in signing big name players. but the deal hasn't happened yet. De Gea may still be at MU and Ten Hag can prepare a replacement from now on if he still makes mistakes.

I know that for now Manchester United still needs De Gea services, but based on De Gea track record it is not surprising that De Gea decided not to renew his contract. After all, during his career at Manchester United, with the many journeys he has gone through, in my opinion, it is very worth it when in the end he gets bored, bored and wants new challenges as he gets older. The plus point is that De Gea gives the space that has been entrusted to him for many years. So Erik Ten Hag must be able to take advantage of the new goalkeeper's regeneration. Precisely when Manchester United was resting from the match, this moment was very appropriate in providing adaptation space for new goalkeepers.

Andre Onana has become the target of several big clubs after impressing with Inter Milan this season. Manchester United are also interested in the 27-year-old goalkeeper from Cameroon.
We think it's only natural that Manchester United are interested in Onana in anticipation of the decision that David De Gea will make.

The issue of Andre Onana which is reportedly being eyed by Manchester United is less serious in our opinion than the rumors about attempts to sign Min-Jae Kim from Napoli after having struggled to get Mount from Chelsea and Kane from Tottenham as reported by mirror.co.uk.
The positions of centre-back and center-forward must be prioritized by Manchester United in this transfer window if you look at their performance in the 2022/2023 season that has just ended.

City won't bid for Rice, West Ham are being outrageous with their demands and City do not pay more than what they think a player is worth, they'd rather back down from the bid, they did it with Kane, Cucurella (who eventually joined Chelsea) and many other players as well. City also have Rodri who is the best defensive midfielder in the world, and it is expected that Kalvin Phillips would also improve next season, so there is no need to buy Rice for an outrageous amount.

Goodluck to Arsenal, they might get their man if they manage to bring out the money West Ham are requesting, if they cannot, another team is going to buy him, it happened with Mudryk, they lost the player to Chelsea, we'd see if they'll get Rice or lose him to another rival as well.

Arsenal are considering an opening bid of £80 million as a way of concrete negotiations with West Ham, but the offer has not been enough to convince West Ham, as they are hoping for more than £100 to sell Rice, as cited by Fabrizio Romano. Ornstien stated that the first offer for Rice came after talks between Arsenal executives and Lewis's team and West Ham chiefs Karren Brady, Edu and Richard Garlick who are leading the hunt for Arsenal. other news, they may now face some big competition from City for Rice. Ornstein added City were actively exploring approaches for the England international. this could soon result in City taking on Arsenal on a bid of their own, and given City's immense financial strength.

However we agree that the price offered by West Ham is not ideal.
On the other hand, Arteta is also reportedly still interested in Gundohan, because he can be relied on as a player who has experience requirements. other rumors, previously it was rumored that Arteta wanted to bring Moises Caicedo to the Emirates Stadium, but recently Manchester United has emerged as a serious competitor for Caicedo.

[Jackl87]

Now Kai Havertz has given the green light to offer a contract with Arsenal after positive indications. I suspect that by recruiting Kai Havertz, Arteta is targeting players who can play in various positions. Hence Caicedo, Cancelo, Timothy Castagne and now Havertz. Chelsea can't even take 70-80% of his potential! If Arsenal manage to pick him up, I'm pretty sure Arteta can put him on par with Kai Havertz. Because Most of the Chelsea players are looking bad right now because they don't have the right manager. But believe me, they have a lot of great players.

I don't really understand why a player like Kai Havertz would like to leave a club like FC Chelsea for Arsenal London. I mean i understand that this season Arsenal played exceptionally well and for the biggest part of the season it even looked like that Arsenal could even become the Premier League champion this year before they got overtaken by ManCity.
If we look at the last 10 or 15 years, then it is pretty obvious though that Arsenal is usually a club that is behind FC Chelsea. So i would still see them as a smaller club then Chelsea even after this season. I also think that next season Arsenal will have a hard time to even reach a rank that qualifies for the Champions League.

[Furious 7]

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.

Now there are several reports spreading about this, such as when Mbappe was not going to activate the automatic contract extension for PSG, which was indeed there and it was possible to leave, it was also heard at this time.
There is more news about where there is a rumor that PSG asked Madrid for 100 million plus Rodrygo in it which made this look like a joke.
It seems that for now the drama from PSG and Mbappe must be forgotten a little because regardless of anything they will still be together for at least one more season.

as reported by the 'guardian', both pl clubs manchester united and fc chelsea are making efforts to sign the 27-yo keeper André Onana (inter). according to the report, 'the blues' would already be willing to listen to offers for their goalkeepers Kepa Arrizabalaga and Edouard Mendy - the resulting problem would be solved by the cameroonian. 'the devils', on the other hand, he could succeed David De Gea, whose contract expires this summer and with whom no agreement has been reached so far...

On the other hand, now it seems that Yassine Bounou is also one of the rivals again because even though Manchester United has news about Onana, they are trying with Bounou now.
It's going to be interesting how this goes but when you look at the current state of things that's for sure regardless of Onana or Bounou I think De Gea will be a bit sidelined in the end with his age and some of the conditions that sometimes didn't work in his favour last season.

I dont understand why Chelsea would give up so on Havertz the guy won them the champions league and they are now giving him away easily. For Arsenal this would be good getting some players that have experience in winning titles. Arsenal will look really good next season for sure if they get Havertz

[slapper]

Ancelotti has a bigger job in this transfer window this season. I think one of the things that has to be done is to bring in a lot of players to fill the gaps where they have been left behind by their players who have gone to other clubs in the transfer window. The midfield will probably be very tough after bellingham comes in and diaz can also help the midfield be strong. For the position of the attacker, it is possible as you said where ancelotti needs several players to be able to support their strengths in the next season.

I see that there are several quality stickers that are targeted by Ancelotti, such as Mbappe and Harry Kane, even Osimhen is also associated with Real Madrid. I think one of them will most likely be brought in by ancelotti in this season's transfer window.

Carlo Ancelotti have well done with first job signing Jude Bellingham and returning back Brahim Diaz from AC Milan for midfielder position, right now his focus how to make possibility for signing new center forward after leaving by Karim Benzema. Actually best forward linked with Real Madrid from Harry Kane, Mbappe until Osimhen but right now Madrid not give offering for third players.

Last announced from Mbappe he seems happy with PSG and will stay one year there until his contract over on 2024, I don't sure with Mbappe because he has difference statement every time about his future or his interested for joining with Real Madrid next season. I think better for signing Harry Kane and best option for Real Madrid with his experience as Primer League top scorer.

I must assert that Ancelotti's strategic moves in signing Jude Bellingham and returning Brahim Diaz are commendable. These decisions are likely to enhance the strength of Madrid's midfield. However, the departure of Karim Benzema has left a significant gap in the forward line that needs immediate attention. Despite the numerous speculations around Harry Kane, Mbappe, and Osimhen, no concrete moves have been made. Mbappe's future seems uncertain, given his vacillating comments about his plans. Therefore, I strongly believe that Harry Kane, with his formidable track record as a Premier League top scorer, is the best fit for Real Madrid

[Bananington]

I dont understand why Chelsea would give up so on Havertz the guy won them the champions league and they are now giving him away easily. For Arsenal this would be good getting some players that have experience in winning titles. Arsenal will look really good next season for sure if they get Havertz

Havertz can do the job for Arsenal, he is a great striker that can add quality to Arsenal side. He has experience in the premier league and Champions league, so getting used to Arsenal just like Trossard will not be hard.

Arsenal's first bid for Declan Rice which is a huge (a record for the club) but it has also been rejected, because West ham need more money. There are talks of Manchester City monitoring Declan Rice and with West Ham knowing that, they have the upper hand against Arsenal. Arsenal is expected to make a second bid, they have always shown interest in Declan Rice since the start of the year.

Top performance from United goalkeeper this season, stretching his bones for brilliant saves. Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea is the team's finest goalkeeper. Being awarded the golden gloves this season boded well for the Spaniard.  Although he has a substitute, he is aging and I am concerned that he will not perform to expectations next season. Erik Ten Hag understands what to do; he will add a new talented goalkeeper to his squad, and it is past time for him to utilize a backup goalkeeper for games because if David de Gea gives the players and coach pause, replacing him will be simple and easy.

Can Manchester United just start getting these players they're linked with? Kim-Min-Jae recently has been monitored by Bayern Munich recently and they are currently leading the race to sign the player. Manchester United are still yet to make conclusions about the sale of Manchester United. Onana to Manchester United I don't think will happen, what's more important is pushing the glazers outta the club.

Harry Kane to Manchester United links have drastically reduced since yesterday as Manchester United considered the valuation placed on him too much. Personal terms has been agreed with Mason Mount, Manchester United will have to bid for the second time.

[Minecache]

So i would still see them as a smaller club then Chelsea even after this season. I also think that next season Arsenal will have a hard time to even reach a rank that qualifies for the Champions League.

I would really want to see Arsenal fight for that title next season. This season Arsenal did not win the English Premier League title. And that is absolutely their fault. They did not perform consistently toward the end. That is one problem they have been facing consistently for few seasons. Now it is not certain how Arsenal is going to finish that English Premier League season as long as it’s not over. All of us thought this time Arsenal is not going to make the same mistake as the last time and they will perform at the end. We were in for a surprise.

I don’t think Arsenal is going to be behind Chelsea. After all, Chelsea's performance was dreadful. Expecting improvement from Chelsea is just hoping that they become lucky enough to perform consistently again.

Are you tent with what is happening in the club? they can't make any transfer till the sale of the club is done, this delay is really affecting the transfer market already, i just believe before weekend all documentation about the club sales are done . so allow the coach get the players  he wants for next season, i trust thee process, if the Qatar bidder finally takeover the club, then Manchester united will be very tough next season. they will bring top players and sale old ones.

Tbh if nobody else bids for Rice, they will drop the fee. It’s only the Manchester clubs that can actually afford that 120m but none of them actually need him if we are being honest. Rice only wants Arsenal and I know Westham respects his choice and I don’t think they’ll sell to anyone other than Arsenal. Manchester city will not pay 120m for a squad role player. Bayern can’t even afford that. He won’t go to Chelsea because he has broken relationship with the club plus he has always wanted UCL. It’s only Manchester United I can be worried about but those ones are still battling with takeover.

Looking at Rio Ferdinand's statement on his YouTube channel, it seems that now the club owner has made it possible for Sheikh Jassim to get in on this matter.
In fact, this is really good news to feel if the Qatar sheikh really buys it because, as you said, the possibility that Manchester United will be strong is clear, especially since we also know how the resources of the sheikhs in the Middle East are. .
But indeed this is also still not completely correct because there is no word of a deal and it seems we still have to continue to wait for how this development takes place, hopefully this will be good for Manchester United.

News about the acquisition of Manchester United by Jasim bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani has been widely circulated in various media. But I still see Joel Glazer and Avram Glazer as chairman today. Even though there is a lot of news about this acquisition, it seems that this is still just a rumor that is not certain yet. Eventually it will probably be clear and announced, but I haven't gotten it yet or may have missed it.

If this acquisition is true, it is hoped that Manchester United will get better in the coming season. Arab money is huge and they can spend a lot of money to build a better team like PSG, Manchester City and also Newcastle United. This news can also make all Manchester United fans happy, meaning they hope that their favorite team will return to the championship track.

I think if they can't find a replacement for Benzema (because it won't be easy to do), Vinicius will be able to close the hole there. They looked very good together, but he'll also be able to cover the position in a way that doesn't make it worse. But he definitely needs someone to pair him with

Vinicius and Rodrygo are two players who can be relied on in Real Madrid's attack line next season, but they also have to have backup players because neither of them can guarantee good performance throughout the season. Real Madrid need quite a lot of strikers next season, at least I think they need 2-3 strikers.

If Ancelotti doesn't have a good striker in stock next season then I think it will be difficult for us to dominate La Liga instead of Barcelona. Barcelona have several strikers, even if one is injured or plays badly they have good replacements. We have to have that too, so it will help Real Madrid compete in La Liga next season.

I think you are right. Vinicius may well get mentally tired and then there is nothing the coach can do about it, he will need a rest to recover anyway, and his place needs to be replaced. Overall, the Real that we saw a couple of years ago has finally disappeared (well there are still a few players), now it's a different team, a slightly different style, etc. So what we see now is an attempt to put the game on a new level.
