⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[shogun47]

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.

Well if the sheikhs build two or three PSG's in Ligue 1 the situation would be different because they would be competing against each other and pushing each other. The performance level would need to be higher and more competitive for a whole season instead of just a few games in the Champions League. But to be honest PSG was very close one time when they lost the final against Bayern 0-1. Manchester City is also a club owned by a sheikh but plays in a highly competitive league, which is their advantage. Maybe Newcastle will be the next that would be turned into another PSG but in the Premier League.

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.

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.

Declan Rice is top of their priority so I expect Arsenal to make a third offer having seen their original bid worth £80million turned down. Despite this minor differences in valuation, there is still confidence that the Rice move will get over the line with West Ham's demands clear. Arsenal are paying English tax so I understand what comes with signing English players and moreover, he’s the team captain and that that inclusiveness makes this deal complex. Arsenal will get him and I’m very confident about it.

When did Mbappe play in the centre-forward position? I had a look at like 7 or 8 games just right now and he either plays left wing or half-center forward together with Messi. I can't even remember when he played a centre-forward game, he usually prefers to attack from the left-wing anyway.

Mbappe played as a left winger only in 4 matches with PSG mate. In 39 matches in total we have watched him as a centre-forward. You can check this source which is Transfermarkt to make sure of it. He is mainly playing as a left winger when it comes to his national matches but it isn't the same with PSG shirt. But it is the truth that it doesn't matter for Mbappe to play as a winger or centre-forward. He is still doing great anyway. 




Tottenham are trying to sign Brentford goalkeeper David Raya who has only one year left at his team. The asking price is around 46 million euros which Tottenham find quite high. Because his market value is 30 million so they are expecting Brentford to go down more in the price.

You know Lloris is very likely to go back to Nice after so many years so Tottenham are in search of a solid goalkeeper to fill his place.

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

I agree with most of what you have said here, but couldn't a player like Osimhen also influence Real Madrid's style to a certain degree and lead to more goals being scored again? The same applies to Kane. If they have a reliable striker who is fit and available 99% of the season, I think that helps big time to implement a more offensive game again.

Mbappe also is not like Ronaldo and he wouldn't score more than 40 goals in La Liga alone. He scores countless of important goals in a game though. That makes him so valuable as he often scores the decisive goal that is needed to win a game. Haaland in contract is the player who scores like a machine in every phase of a game.

[Jackl87]

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.

Mbappe is currently the football player i  europe with the highest salary by far and i am sure that if he would be willing to stay at PSG then he would get even more money if he would sign a new contract. But he has no interest in doing so, which teils me, that money is not his number one priority now. He wants to join a club where he has very good chances to win the Champions League and i don't think that he will have those at Chelsea or Manchester United.
So he would need to join ManCity, Real Madrid or Bayern Munich.

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.

While I understand your perspective, ponder on this: Declan Rice isnt your average footballer. Young, seasoned in the Premier League, and playing a key role, hes quite the asset. Its no secret that key players command exorbitant fees, and West Ham won't be an exception.

The Premier League is flush with cash, so West Ham's steep price demand isn't irrational. Plus, Arsenal isn't the sole contender for Rice. Is he worth £100 million, though? Thats the crux of the matter.

You know that Leicester have been relegated from the Premier League. As of this incident's happening I have started wondering what will happen to the best players in the team as well. Tielemans has joined Aston Villa on a free transfer already though. The other player I'm curious about the most is James Maddison.

He still has a contract which runs until June 30, 2024. But I assume he isn't happy with being in the Championship from now on. It looks like there are already two Premier League teams after him - Newcastle and Tottenham. His current market value is 60m euros. The amount Leicester demand from these teams is at least 50m pounds (~58m euros).

I think this is a favourable amount for a talented player like Maddison. What do you think?

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?

Not too surprised by this actually because indeed with rumors for a player like Ziyech not being accepted at Chelsea it was actually the right decision.
Now more and more European players are in the Arab league and of course this will create conditions where the Arab league will be even more eyed because indeed players like Kante, Ziyech and Benzema will increase their popularity after Ronaldo's last season.
Now there are still some rumors and one of them is Zaha.
But indeed this is also mutually beneficial where the players get paid but the Arab league is clear with the exposure they receive of course it is worth it.

Just like what I was saying in the Saudi Arabia pro league thread that it seems that Chelsea will have to empty their players to Saudi Arabia this time around. I mentioned some few players which include Koulibally, Aubameyang, Hakimi Z and Kante who already left not knowing that Mendy is in the list.
What I don't know is why the special interest in Chelsea squad. Maybe Chelsea player have seen it that if they remain they will not play in the European competition, it is better they leave at once.

If Arsenal third and the final bid is rejected by West Ham I think the best bet for the club is to switch over to Brighton and bid for Moises Caicedo with a lesser fee whom I believe is an alternative to Declan Rice, the first bid of 75M with payment in four instalment was rejected because West Ham wanted more than 100m with instant payment, Arsenal increased their bid to 90m which I believe is a very reasonable price yet West Ham turned down the offer, I think Man City is closely monitoring the situation probably the club will table a better offer to lure him to their team, it obvious sign on fees of English players tends to be very high I don't know why it has become a norm in EPL.

[CryptocurencyKing]

Personally I feel I'm going to be extremely disappointed in Arteta if Havertz didn't perform for them. The red flags are there and the biggest of all flags is if the selling fans are genuinely happy you're buying their player.
The most frustrating thing is that it's a deal that is costly. I am just praying I should be wrong on this deal, because thiis deal might be the beginning of the end of Arteta. It's just a matter of waiting and watching now.

It's not surprising that in the end Ziyech agreed to this deal because his salary per season is extraordinary, moreover he will team up with Cristiano Ronaldo, of course that will also make him more excited. On the other hand, the saudi league is increasingly attracting the attention of European footballers with its endless amount of money madness and soon we will see the announcement of another deal of several chelsea players who will also join the saudi league team. Koulibaly and Mendy are also in the final stages of finalizing the deal and we will have to wait for further news.

Actually since the 2022/2023 season this player wants to leave Chelsea but canceled due to several obstacles so it's not too surprised if he finally leaves
I have not found information related to the salary and value of the contract but it is estimated that it is more than $30 million because last season Inter made an offer of around $25 million so in this agreement  it must be more than that.

Brozovic will be the next target to be recruited by al nassr soon. it's caused by the competition to get him is still ongoing right now. I hpe that he will be following ziyech to go to the al nassr. It will be so good to see more great players to join in intermilan as soon as possible. Im very happy to see that if intermilan gonna, let him go to the al nassr. This gonna be another great recruitment from al anssr. As yuo can see that how good brozovic's eprformance last season.
Beating barcelona is not a difficult task since al nassr was even richer compared with barcelona. Barcelona is a poor club right now. It can't even pay asalary from its players. I hope that personal agreeement will be meet by him and al nassr as soon as possible.

In the midst of the summer hunt for European clubs to prepare for next season, it turns out that the Saudi Arabian club is far more aggressive in terms of hunting, especially because of the large financial support anyone can buy quickly. Ziyech certainly has no other choice with what Al Nasr wants to take him there and be able to become Ronaldo's partner. Considering that Al Ittihad has already brought in 2 big players, Benzema and Kante, of course Al Nasrr needs more and this hunt will continue.

Arteta won't feel it. Arsenal is officially sending second offer for chelsea. Chelsea has been decreasing havertz's price to 60 millions. Arsenal is now sending 55 millions + add ons to the chelsea worth 5 millions.
That means arsenal seems agree to get havertz from chelsea which is a very good transfer for arsenal.   Chelsea is now able maximizing the new striker in the club.

Havertz has been giving green light moving from chelsea to the arsenal. I support arteta's decision caused by it will be also helping chelsea to get additional funds to buy some important players this season.

Arsenal is still having another mission to get declan rice before the transfer season gonna end.

So many deals have been done with the Saudi's, in the new season more challenge and more exposure will still be made. Happy Ziyech is linking up with Cristiano Ronaldo, at least I'm sure of a player that can give an accurate pass to Cristiano Ronaldo.
I'm.nkt a Chelsea fan but I'll miss Mendy and Ziyech. I can remember how they all contributed to winning the Champions League not to forget Ngolo Kante.

Kovacic to Manchester City is already a done deal. As confirmed by Fabrizio Romano.

You know that Leicester have been relegated from the Premier League. As of this incident's happening I have started wondering what will happen to the best players in the team as well. Tielemans has joined Aston Villa on a free transfer already though. The other player I'm curious about the most is James Maddison.

I think this is a favourable amount for a talented player like Maddison. What do you think?

When a team gets relegated to the championship, sometimes some of the players don't want to play in the second division and would rather move to a premier league club and that's what is happening now. Tielemans has moved to Aston Villa and James Maddison deal is still been worked on. I think Leicester's asking price for Maddison is fare for a player of his capabilities. He's 26 years old, made 163 appearances in all competitions for Leicester and registered 43 goals. For me the £50M asking price is good and whoever that's ready to meet it, will have him. I don't know if Tottenham would be ready to pay such an amount but Newcastle needs all the help they can get especially now that they are in the champions league, Maddison will be a great signing for them.

Havertz has been giving green light moving from chelsea to the arsenal. I support arteta's decision caused by it will be also helping chelsea to get additional funds to buy some important players this season.

Arsenal is still having another mission to get declan rice before the transfer season gonna end.

Havertz deal will be successful for Arsenal easily because Chelsea already have a replacement in the french striker that they just signed, the deal that may not work out is Declan Rice, and they should not dwell too much on him if West Ham become difficult with the deal. Declan Rice is not the only player on the earth that can carry out whatever plans that the Arsenal coach has.

Brozovic will be the next target to be recruited by al nassr soon.

It will not end with this player, I await news about more players that will move to Saudia Arabia, the Saudi league is now more attractive than even the Major league soccer competition where Messi moved to play.

[Strongkored]

I think this is a favourable amount for a talented player like Maddison. What do you think?

If I'm not mistaken there were three clubs interested in this player Arsenal, Newcastle and also Tottenham Hotspurs, and in fact it was rumored that he would leave Leicester for quite some time when the club was still with his old manager and there seemed to be some disagreement between the two of them, but the rumors stopped when Rodgers left the club.
Of course he hopes to leave Leicester not because of disloyalty but rather because his football career requires a club that is in the English premier league, not the championship.
Clubs that need players with good assist makers certainly won't mind with such numbers for transfer fee because Maddison for the 2022-2023 season at Leicester specifically for EPL matches made 10 goals and 9 assists this is good enough for a club like Leicester, which did not perform well in the 2022-2023 season, but it could be that the clubs that want him feel that it is too high for players from relegated clubs
