⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Marvell1]

Honestly I’m not happy that Arsenal is really going to pay what Westham are asking for on Declan Rice that hasn’t played anything worthy of that heavy sum. Honestly Arsenal really need good scouting network. Because this is why good scouting network is so important especially when you aren't on Premier league level of spending. All other big clubs have no problem forking out millions for what ever they want. Brighton for example, the have. Avery good scouting network, that’s because they don’t have the financial capacity.  Arsenal really need to find a great scouting team instead of spending all their budget on 2 players.

Arsenal did make an offer of £75 million for Declan Rice and they also offered £15 million as an add-on. But even that offer was rejected by West Ham. I think Arsenal is actually going to spend £100 million on these players. I really do not think it is going to be a very good idea to do that. I mean, Arsenal could find another player with this amount of money. I

 understand that they feel like they absolutely need him in the squad. But for £100 million I don’t think it is going to be a good transfer. Regardless to say if Declan Rice does not perform well enough, they are not going to be able to sell him for a decent price. I just don’t know if this is a risk worth taking.

I already know that Arsenal is ready to spend a lot of money in this transfer market. They are spending £100 million on one player. And they are still going to bring in other players as well.

Arteta has turned his attention to Romeo Lavia since the club considers Moises Caiceido’s price value as too expensive. In my opinion I think both players are so much similar and it will be easier to get Lavia this summer than it will be to get Caicedo, I support the idea of trying to get Lavia instead.

Arteta wants to go for possible options since he is sure of Granit Xhaka’s exit, and therefore he wants to be sure he have a new Defensive Midfielder signed during this transfer window, that is why he is considering going any possible option since Caicedo is a bit expensive for Arsenal.

Declan Rice, Lavia and Havertz partnership will cause much problems for opponents next season if Arsenal successfully get these players on their side.

I know that Arsenal will try everything possible to make sure they strengthen their Midfield because they know that’s where the problem come last season, because we all know that Arsenal lack squad depth last season which is what caused them the Premier League title even though we know that Manchester City have experienced players more than Arsenal.

Seeing from this condition it seems that they do not want to be too busy and only see the players who have been with them before because seeing from his words apart from Jude who "Welcome" for these 3 players are all "Welcome Back" because they have previously been in Madrid.
Whether in this case they really only see players who are already in their uniform or do not want to be too bothered with it.
But I do think it's good to focus on the players who have been at Madrid before, but I still don't think it will have much of an impact, especially since the most risky position is striker and I'm not too sure whether Joselu will do a good job or not because he has a lot on his plate considering he's the replacement for Benzema if there's no other striker.

Many people say this and doubt Florentino Perez's decision to bring Joselu as a striker. But I hope it's the same as what you think, that in fact Joselu will only be a temporary striker until 2024 and of course Madrid behind the scenes have made an agreement with Mbappe plus a free transfer bonus which has kept Madrid from spending a lot. I think this is a tactic that many people have missed, Madrid decided not to spend a lot of money buying Harry Kane, Osimhen, Vlahovic or Rasmus Hojlund, these players are the targets of many big clubs. In essence, Madrid sacrificed one season after the next to welcome Mbappe. Once again, Joselu presence will not become a core striker later, as for the match he will face like it or not Joselu must be able to defend himself.

That's just one possibility of many because even though this season Mbappe said that he would not extend his contract at PSG for the next season but of course this is also not a guarantee for Madrid he can be there.
The situation may be the same with Kane and Manchester City and even with Mbappe who was with PSG a few seasons ago.
The possibility can still happen indeed the great hope must be there but by sacrificing this season with something uncertain I think it is not too worth it for Madrid.
For this season then who will be the starting striker in the absence of Joselu? Brahim is not a pure striker because he is often played at Second striker or wing.
As for Rodrygo being forced it can still be just that this is also not a good choice for one season.

[LUCKMCFLY]

I very much agree with you, it is also said that anyone who says no to Real Madrid does not get second chances, just because no player is above the club, this is something that has to be seen, maybe the other teams will appeal players like this when they are rejected once, but Madrid does not have that style, Madrid is very proud, and what a pity for Mbappé, I know that he must be very sorry for having said no to Madrid, anyone does not If not, you have to ask Totti who also said no to Madrid, these are decisions that mark a lifetime.

Madrid can offer prestige and also a lot of money, but they can never keep up with the clubs that are backed by the sheikhs. One thing that some people perhaps don't understand is that once a club like PSG decides to get a player, they will get the player. PSG would match any offer times two, when Real Madrid raises their offer and they will tell the players. Real Madrid also knows that so they figure out what their maximum is and then say to Mbappe that they pay him 30 million net. Ok, says PSG, we pay you 60 million net plus a 100 million bonus per every year you stay longer. It doesn't even make sense for Real Madrid to raise their offer because PSG would do the same. I don't like that, but this is the sports world we live in.

You are right about that, money can buy anything, but despite the fact that a prestige like the one Madrid gives and its history cannot be compared with all the money in the world, sometimes the teams can have many resources to appear to be the best. They are better and they can do it, PSG is there at the time they did not get Mesi, Mbappé and Neymar, but what did they achieve? Nothing , just Ligue 1, which was obvious because it's a local league, but did they get a UCL? No, so money does not give all the victory, for them to compete against a Madrid they have to win many UCL, and apart from that of building the reputation of being the bes t, this is something that will always happen and is unattainable for any sheikh, well, it's been demostrated.


and with Arteta:

Arteta wants to use 21-year-old Arsenal youngster in pre-season – journalist

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta will give Folarin Balogun a chance to impress in their pre-season tour of Germany and the United States this summer.

The 21-year-old was sent out on loan to Stade Reims in France last season, and he was one of the best forwards in the country. He scored 22 goals and provided three assists, and his stock is now higher than ever before.

But whom? Declan Rice has the perfect age and he has a long experience to look back on when he now were to join Arsenal. He is also playing a special position and he is in the Premier League. All of these teams like West Ham who lose their key players know that they can charge a lot of money because there is a lot of money circulating in the Premier League anyway. From that point of view they are doing it right and since we will see more transfers approaching those amounts they thought they can also try to get as much for Rice. West Ham also knows that other teams are after him as well.

[CryptopreneurBrainboss]

But of course, it is true that no team is going to actually give him that much money because he has not been performing like Benzema. So, his expectations were not met. And that’s why he can also see that the ball is in his court right now. So he can dictate the terms. Chelsea has the biggest problem here.

Chelsea aren't in a problem, they can punish Lukaku and make him worthless if he tries to form stubbornness. His wages are too much for the type of play he brings to the team. He isn't a superstar as he thought he was anymore. He hasn't showed any reason to be worth what he's asking for. Hope you know how shameful it is for the Saudis that are throwing money at anybody just to get them to come to the Saudi Arabia league but when it gets to Lukaka they said he wasn't worth that much which means even the Saudis don't value Lukaka.

He better takes the deal and go get the bags because inter Milan don't have the finances to take care of Lukaka wages so unless he's ready to take a pay cut, he has to return to Chelsea while Chelsea doesn't want him near their stadium not after all he did last two seasons (disrespecting the club). He can't play for the new manager as well and Chelsea will just have to terminate his contract leaving him without any club so he better take the offer form the Saudis and go over there to finish his career. He'll still be in the spotlight as Ronaldo is constantly making the media pay attention to what's going on in the league.

[Slow death]

It is not completely true that a club saves on transfer fees when a player has no contract anymore. Especially when a player has no contract there are more clubs giving it a try to go for it, but the player himself can ask for a fee then. It just doesn't go into the pockets of the former club anymore.

Joselu is definitely a temporary striker but he could still be the backup for someone else. Nothing is over yet.

But the fact is nowadays don't spend a lot of money right? unlike what Chelsea did last season (for example) in terms of wasting money. Basically, Madrid is good at taking advantage of the momentum and Florentino Perez doesn't put too much pressure on Ancelotti so next season Real Madrid will try to experiment with making Joselu a temporary striker. The reason is another option, namely Brahim Diaz, both of them will share playing time. From this, it is clear that Florentino Perez's big target is the 2024 transfer season with Mbappe.

They could have also chosen another player that is not the calibre of Kane, Osimhen and Mbappe, but they decided to go the safe way and get one player who is not too weak to start the season with. He is also not too expensive overall. My opinion is that they are still negotiating with Kane, Osimhen and Mbappe and that they can fall back on Joselu if nothing works out, but the plan still stands that they want to sign a high quality striker rather this season than next season. The transfer period is running until September 1st and a to of different things can happen until then.

looking at the style of real madrid, we can see that Kane and Osimhen would not be able to make real madrid score many goals, this is something that should have already been clear to the management of real madrid, which is why they prefer having a temporary solution while they wait for a possible signing of mbappe who, without a doubt, would be the best option for real madrid, but the problem currently is that mbappe, despite being a great player and having said that he will only stay one season in the PSG could still go to another team at the end of next season if a team like city keep an eye on mbappe

I think that mbappe will accept going to a team like city if he still has guariola as coach, because it seems to me that mbappe is looking for a stable team that has big goals, and real madrid even now is not one team with big goals like in the past, from time to time real madrid has been very cautious in hiring players, they have spent very little compared to other teams, so mbappe has already noticed that, even if mbappe arrives in real this season madrid, it would be hard to see a big change in terms of great achievements on the side of real madrid

Declan Rice really stole the attention of many teams from the EPL, especially Arsenal. With the exorbitant offer submitted by Arsenal for West ham for Declan Rice, in fact, West ham did not accept an offer from Arsenal because West ham wanted more than what Arsenal had proposed.

Indeed, Declan Rice has had quite a brilliant season this season, so it's no doubt that many big clubs are eyeing him. I think West ham will make quite a fortune on the sale of Declan Rice.  We'll see if the other stronger teams in the EPL make a higher bid to get Declan rice.

Westham knew how big potential owner by rice. That's the reason why westham demanding very big amounts of money. Arsenal already sent second offer + add ons but westham is still rejecting such offer. Westham already rejected the second offer that was already made by arsenal.
Westham is only willing to let rice go to another club that can afford to pay westham at least 100m cash. I think that manchester city is the only club that has the ability to make it happen.
Arteta feels so confuse with westham's decision to keep rice even longer. Arsenal has no choice other than increasing its offer again.

He was winning conference league. He has been getting great season with westham. That's why westham is not preventing him from going out from the club caused by rice has been successfully making westham to win the trophy.
I think that manchester city will become the best club for him. Westham wants a very big amount of fee.

During a press conference, coach Pep Guardiola himself ended up ruling out the possibility of Mbappé wearing the Manchester City shirt and in fact I think that among the many teams that could be Mbappé's destiny, City is not one of them.

I'm also in doubt about Real Madrid, as much as it is the greatest winner in the history of the Champions League, it is also Mbappé's favorite destination, but I think that this is not something reciprocal because the friction caused between them in 2022 ends up causing this is the last option Parisians would want to do business with, in my opinion.

My bets are between Chelsea, which has already shown itself willing to pay the 150 million euros demanded by PSG, or Manchester United, which may soon be managed by a billionaire from Qatar, the country whose government owns the French club... making trading much easier.

Latest Updates!
Sources have revealed that it is thought West Ham will turn down the £90m bid and it looks like this will be the second time West Ham have turned down an offer. I think West Ham is too much for one player whose contribution to winning a major trophy is unclear and this rejection makes it clear that West Ham will never be satisfied with such an offer. On the other hand, West Ham is still expecting an offer from Manchester City and of course the offer must be higher than what Arsenal made. I think as a mediocre club, West Ham will actually be seen as not good if the problem of player transfers is still dissatisfied with this large nominal.

West Ham may consider his market value, it is around £90m now. I'm sure West Ham wants more than his market value, they may accept it if Arsenal offers £100m at least. Honestly, I'm also a bit surprised that Declan Rice's price can be £90m. As far as I know, he never won EPL title or UCL title, he also never becomes the best player in EPL. It is true that £90m seems too expensive, nothing so special with Declan Rice's career. But he is still young and a part of England national team, this can be the reason why his price is expensive. However, if I were Arteta, I prefer to buy Kroos than buy Decline Rice. Declan Rice isn't proven to give a significant role in a big team.

If West Ham expects Man City offer, I think it won't happen. Guardiola has enough midfielders, there are Rodri and Kalvin Phillips for defensive midfielders. I doubt if Guardiola looks for a new defensive midfielder.

[asriloni]

Don't be surprised, if players from England will always be priced at very fantastic prices. we remember very well, when City signed Grealish. fortunately, the player is doing a good job under Pep Guardiola. To be honest, as an Arsenal fan I want the best for the team. but what is certain, bringing in Rise at a very fantastic price seems to be a gamble for the Gunners if in the end it doesn't live up to expectations. In fact, I'm pretty sure that Manchester City won't necessarily buy him at a very expensive price. at the very least, they'll be considering other options like they did with some of the other players coming in at a relatively low price. I prefer it if the Gunners keep Xhaka and Partey for the next season rather than just focusing on Rice, who may not necessarily answer the team's needs. or, Edu looks for a cheaper target than Declan Rice. I'm pretty sure there's still a lot more talented talent for them to bring to the Emirates Stadium.

I can't agree with it. You just pay attention to the english players while there have been many players who are non english players priced even more than him. I can mention some like lukaku.
Arsenal has been sending a second offer to the westham but rice's club was rejecting the second offer from arsenal. Arsenal has no choice now other than pay westham 100m pounds.
If xhaka and partey already agreed to depart from arsenal and there's nothing arteta can do. Arsenal can try to create a transfer record for its club. It has become a club that never make big transfer in EPL.
I think that arsenal can break it. It seems like arteta is still putting rice as the main target compared with edu. Edu can become alternative but arteta has different opinion.
Arsenal must have paid a lot to get him

Declan Rice's only achievement so far is helping West Ham win the conference league and in my opinion it is too much if the transfer fee is so expensive just because he managed to win the number 3 competition trophy in Europe. For the rest, maybe the hunt for Declan Rice will become hype for teams like Arsenal or Manchester City in the summer.

Mikel Arteta is very optimistic about being able to bring him to the Emirates Stadium as a replacement for Granit Xhaxa, who previously left since the end of the EPL this season. Maybe like it or not, Arsenal have to cover the transfer fee of £100 million as a final bid and if West Ham still doesn't want to, Arsenal will have to forget about the figure of Declan Rice.

[tusandii]

I know that Arsenal will try everything possible to make sure they strengthen their Midfield because they know that’s where the problem come last season, because we all know that Arsenal lack squad depth last season which is what caused them the Premier League title even though we know that Manchester City have experienced players more than Arsenal.

It's been 19 waiting for Arsenal to not get the Premier League title and in these 19 years they have had several chances but only reached runners-up.
Maybe you are right that Arsenal need several player transfers for the middle because Arsenal's midfield is still not good.
When compared to Manchester City, the difference is clear from the players, and Manchester City has many players who are reliable and truly brilliant.

In the last 13 years Manchester City have won 7 Premier League titles and this proves that they deserve to be the strongest clup for the Premier League.

If this transfer happend Declan Rice will broke the record as the most expensive player in Arsenal history but unfortunately West Ham has reject this offers because West Ham only want not less than 100 millions and i think i have to agree with you that 90 millions could be the highest limit for Arsenal because from those money they can gets more than one good quality players and according to the football market Declan Rice only have approximately 70-80 millions market value so i fear if Arsenal insist to buy him then it could be overpriced

However Arsenal still working on for transfer Ajax player Jurrien Timber and their first bid has been rejected by Ajax because Arsenal offering 30 millions but Ajax want not less than 50 millions but Arsenal is very confident they will gets Jurrien Timber soon and possibly they will offering second bid in the near future which is the price will be higher than their current bid

I don't know why West Ham are valuing Declan Rice this high, the transfer fee is absolutely outrageous and i don't even think Rice is worth half of the money West Ham are requesting. It has become the norm with English players, the likes of Jack Grealish, Jude Bellingham and others who were sold for an outrageous amount of money.

Declan Rice wants to move to Arsenal, and for now they are the only team that have sent a bid (2 bids actually) to West Ham, though the bids were rejected, i think Arsenal are going to make one last bid for Declan Rice and i expect West Ham to accept it, or else another team might join in the race to sign him.

David Moyes is willing to allow Declan Rice leave this season and is looking for a replacement. Clubs are competing to sign him, but Arsenal is the frontrunner with their proposals. English players are highly prized in the market, and despite their erratic peak, they are constantly overhyped in the transfer window. Last summer, Westham unexpectedly outbid everyone else for Declan Rice.  The possibility is owing to the new club's achievement, winning the European Conference League title, which alone initiates the bid for the club's most important player.

@Coyster it’s a neat trick as they know many club’s want him and they’re trying to drive up his prices by taking a hard stand despite agreeing publicly that he’s available for a transfer. Furthermore he’s definitely worth $80 million but anything above $100 million is way too much and I wonder if Arsenal will yet chase him because I feel that they should just walk away and hope that West Ham lower their asking price so a transfer can be sealed.

[Bobrox]

Here We Go

Reported from Fabrizio Romano instagram account last few minutes, Al Nassr have reached personal verbal agreement with Hakim Ziyech and as soon possible will move there, its seems warning for Chelsea team because their several players interested by Saudi Pro League after success signing Hakim Ziyech still have several players in the transfer waiting list from Kalidou Koulibaly and Édouard Mendy. Can't stopping excited bid and offering from Saudi Pro League teams want to pay more than 100 million euro for payment salary. Looks good signing by Al Nassr signing Hakim Ziyech and Cristiano Ronaldo has great partner on right forward.

Have been several top European player move to Saudi Pro League teams from Karim Benzema, Nkante, Rúben Neves and Hakim Ziyech, who will be the next players move there?

Declan Rice is not worth more than 60 million. If he was not an English player playing in England he wouldn't have been worth more than 50 million. Rice is good, but its over hyping like this that ruins players. There will be so much expectations on him when he signs for a new club. The same way there is so much expectations for Bellingham now.
It would be very stupid of Arsenal if they spend 90 million and above on a single player when there are other parts of their squad that needs to be strengthened. Players like Madison and Teliemans are very good midfielders that will fit in to Arsenal and would come cheap because their clubs have been relegated.
Manchester City might not even sumbit an official bid for Rice. They are still studying the whole situation and they know that their are a lot of areas of their squad that needs reinforcements.
