⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[rendravolt]

According to reports,Arsenal have competed the signing of Karl Harvetz from Chelsea in a deal worth about 60 million pounds.As an Arsenal fan,I am happy that Arsenal have made a signing in this transfer window,but I'm not happy it's Karl Harvetz,I was watching his pattern of play in YouTube,and I must confess,he might just be another Fabio Vierra in the Arsenal team.He is bought to play in thesame position with Odegard,but I don't see him starting for Arsenal,because at the moment,I don't think he can bench anyone in that starting line up.We have people like Smith Rowe who is fighting to  be a regular starter in the squad,and it hasn't been possible following the exceptional form of Martinelli on that wing.Nevertheless,it is not bad because he would add depth to the young squad.

I am not happy with the signing. He’s not my ideal signing and I don’t understand his position in the team. But I think Arteta likes him. He is in the age bracket Arteta likes. I think he is 24. Thierry Henry describes him as having similar traits to RVP. Let's hope he fulfils his potentials in Arsenal just like Odegaard is currently is. I am glad he is used to the EPL speed. That matters to me. At the end of the day his performance will give the final verdict and justify the teams decision to recruit him.

I think Arsenal have done a great job of signing Kai Havertz and for a fee of £65m it doesn't seem like such a big deal for a talent who failed to thrive at his previous club. We know that with Chelsea, Havertz seemed confused about adapting to his coach's style of play and he was often used as a striker, even though his original position was AMF.

Maybe Arteta does have other views on maximizing the talents possessed by Havertz, that's why Arsenal really want to get him. Now a new challenge with a new team will start in the EPL next season for Kai Havertz, of course he doesn't want to experience the same season as last season.

Seriously, it's quite crazy, here's the list of all Chelsea players who have won the Champions League sold or are going to be sold:

- Kai Havertz (just now)
- Kovacic (city)
- Kante (saudi league) <- soon to be followed by Zeyich and Mendy
- RLC
- Mount
- Pulisic
- Kepa ?

And when you consider how even more of Chelsea players left last season, it goes on to show that Chelsea squad really does have a short turnaround.

It's really don't make sense if Chelsea want to sell Kepa too, I heard Mendy will leave Chelsea too, this mean if both Kepa and Mendy leave Chelsea, Chelsea will don't have any good goalkeepers. The other 3 goalkeepers very rarely play, it's better to sell those 3 players rather than let Mendy and Kepa to join other teams.

I just hope Chelsea at least can survive in the next season, if they enter degradation zone, this will be a huge mistake by Pochettino.

It looks like Manchester United have also joined the race for Declan Rice. Their deal is likely to be like money + Maguire or McTominay. Maybe not Maguire but McTominay might be favourable by West Ham side. Because Rice is also a defensive midfielder like McTominay so they might find it okay to think about it.

But of course the money part must be convincing for West Ham. Because Arsenal look ready to pay even 100 million euros for Rice now. As far as I have heard West Ham have been demanding around this amount. His market value is already 90 million euros and he is a young and solid player. I'm not surprised with this demand as a result.

After the news said that WHU rejected an offer from Arsenal, Manchester United immediately had the intention to hijack Declane Rice, you're right about the rumors saying that Manchester United also offered 2 players (Maguire and McTominay) apart from money. Of course, this situation is very profitable for WHU, they get money + players.

It's really don't make sense if Chelsea want to sell Kepa too, I heard Mendy will leave Chelsea too, this mean if both Kepa and Mendy leave Chelsea, Chelsea will don't have any good goalkeepers.

I just hope Chelsea at least can survive in the next season, if they enter degradation zone, this will be a huge mistake by Pochettino.

Pochettino will definitely hold back players he feels can strengthen his team. and letting go of a few that are not in Pochettino's plans won't be a problem.
Chelsea shouldn't be too bad next season. it will indeed be hard work for Pochettino, because indeed there are several players who want to leave the team and some who survive must be optimistic about Pochettino's coaching.
hopefully it will be good, even before the pre-season games they have to be prepared.

It is easy to remember that those players won the champions league seasons ago but it is not easy to remember that those players are also the people that wanted to send Chelsea to relegation this ended season.
I support Pochettino and I believe he has his plans and targets. It is not all about having good players but the big question is of they play together as a team or they play destructively.
Average players playing as a team is better than star players playing solo and greedy football.

Joselu is not enough to replace Benzema's role? I'm not sure if Perez is really satisfied with the current squad. I've been a Real Madrid fan for a long time, as far as I know the current squad isn't the ideal squad that Real Madrid often builds for the new season. Moreover, there is still 1 striker only, if Joselu gets injured Real Madrid has no substituted striker. IMHO, Joselu is only signed for another option for the striker position. So, Real Madrid should sign 1 more striker at least, Perez still doesn't get the main striker. How can it be enough for Real Madrid?  

By the way, we still have a long time for the transfer window. So, there is enough time for Real Madrid to sign other players. Moreover, Real Madrid only signs 1 top player (Bellingham). They should buy some top players in the transfer window.

I've seen that Real Madrid doesn't hurry into signing players, and when they do, they always get the best among the rest of the players currently playing in that position for the top European teams. Joselu is clearly Real Madrid's backup striker and not the exact man they'll desire in that position. He won't be able to replace the void left by Benzema in the club with his current playing style; he'll have to improve over time to do so. He has the potential to be better, but he will be replaced by a better striker soon.

Rushing is never good. If any work has to be done in haste, there will be mistakes in the work. In that case, Real Madrid should not make such a big mistake in signing any player, they keep an eye on every player. Apart from keeping an eye on each player, they offer a player based on how well they did in the league or how much advantage the team would gain by taking them. Every player wants to play for Real Madrid but many players are unable to join Real Madrid despite their desire due to not being able to show enough of their skills. I think Real Madrid will never sign a player unless they get a suitable player.

Im happy with this news. Chelsea will able to maximizing the new striker. Havertz was helping chelsea so much in winning so many trophies but he is not fit to the chelsea right now as a striker. I know that if ST has not become his best position. He must be playing behind the attacker.
So many arsenal fans are feeling skeptical for this transfer but arteta may have different opinion regarding this transfer. 60 millions are good amounts of money for him consider he has experienced in so many competitions.
That's pretty much the same like jorginho transfer from chelsea. Let's see how good performance from havertz in arsenal. i don't put big expectation for havertz.
In my opinion that if the gunners fans shall not underestimate hvertz before he will be playing for chelsea.


Gallagher already linked to the brighton. This club seems interesting to sign him as a new player next season.

[kawetsriyanto]

Yes Joselu is not enough to fill the Voids left by Benzema and i am sure the Real Madrid coach is aware. Like it is reported, i also agree that its better to wait an extra 9 months and sign Mbappe from PSG. And you never can tell, Madrid could sign Mbappe this summer too.

Ancelotti is aware of it, that's why he asked for a more striker to sign before the new season begins. But a rumor said that Perez thinks Real Madrid doesn't need more new players. I'm worried that Ancelotti may leave Real Madrid if he isn't allowed to sign a new striker. This situation is almost similar to Zidane's case, it triggered Zidane leaving Real Madrid at that time.

With Bellingham signed and modric renewed as well as kroos. I am sure Real Madrid are okay in the middle of the pack.

Real Madrid has no problem with the midfield line, they have many options there. There are many good midfielders, both old and young players. The problem of Real Madrid is in their defense and attacking lines.

joselu is a goal scorer, too, and not a bad player. He scored a few goals last season, but he is quite inexperienced in European competitions. Obviously, he is not up to the standard, and what Madrid needs is not just one average striker, but a highly rated, experienced striker who can play and promise an average of 20 to 30 goals per season, someone who can partner Vinicius properly. The two most significant strikers now on the market, Harry Kane and Victor Osimhen, will both blend in wonderfully.

Indeed. Joselu is actually a good striker, he can score many goals last season. But Real Madrid needs a striker who has a great experience in UCL, not only in the local league. Mbappe, Osimhen, Harry Kane, and Vlahovic are the strikers that will fit with the standard of Real Madrid main striker. Unfortunately, the prices of these strikers are expensive and their club managements are difficult to negotiate. They are expected to stay in their current clubs, so the chance to sign them looks a bit small.

I think Real Madrid will never sign a player unless they get a suitable player.

Real madrid has been making very good decision by signing a very cheap striker like joselu. So many madrid fans are skeptical but i do know that if this is a part of a strategy that owned by ancelotti and perez. If madrid can save up to 100 millions for mbappe for next year and why not? that's why real madrid was only taking joselu from espanyol as loan. Joselu was also very happy to play with madrid.
I think that if this gonna be one of the important thing. Madrid can use 100 millions of money for something better than giving it to the PSG. Mbappe's contract will end next year.
that will not gonna be a difficult task for madrid to attract mbappe to join in the club. Im supporting the decision by madrid to take joselu rather than rushing to get mbappe.

This is not related to saving the budget but indeed Madrid has no way to bring mbappe if they have a chance I believe Madrid is willing to pay more than 100 million
I know at this time the situation, Mbappe hasn't extended the contract and could have left next season but I don't think PSG will let him go just like that. They will do everything they can, including selling it at a cheaper price, assuming the extension of the contract is canceled, what is clear is that Madrid is not the main goal.

Real Madrid has no problem with the midfield line, they have many options there. There are many good midfielders, both old and young players. The problem of Real Madrid is in their defense and attacking lines.

Real Madrid were lacking so much in their defensive line last season that some players had to switch roles from playing in midfield and move to the defence to help out since they were not so many options to play that position, they made playing their original role a second option and played in the defence to start games. Some players like Camavinga. With more players in the team, more solid defensive options, Camavinga can move back to were he can also play very well which is the midfield.

Real Madrid did not have a goal scoring problem last season, since Benzema has left there was a need to get a new striker. With long term goals, Mbappe is who they have always wanted, since he wants to move, waiting for him with Joselu is okay. In games where Joselu cannot score, players like Vini jr, Rodrygo and others can score.

It looks like Manchester United have also joined the race for Declan Rice. Their deal is likely to be like money + Maguire or McTominay. Maybe not Maguire but McTominay might be favourable by West Ham side. Because Rice is also a defensive midfielder like McTominay so they might find it okay to think about it.

As far as I have heard West Ham have been demanding around this amount. His market value is already 90 million euros and he is a young and solid player. I'm not surprised with this demand as a result.

Arsenal should understand that when you need a player's services, you simply have to be prepared to pay the team's asking price when they are keen on that price. Instead, they delayed concluding this Declan Rice's agreement, which produced all of this drama for themselves. Similar to how Arsenal lost Mudryk to Chelsea, when you hesitate to pay the asking price, another team may enter the fray in an attempt to sign the player. When they offer a better price and the offer is sufficiently persuasive, the team and player will quickly choose the better offer. They should have paid the 100m West ham was asking for when they were alone in the race but now that Manchester United have joined the race it may become difficult to secure this player. Arsenal needs to be more serious when buying a player.

According to some German news and SPORT1, İlkay Gündoğan is going to join Barcelona and everything is done.
He had offers from the Arabian team and he had offers from Manchester City to extend his contract but in the end, İlkay Gündoğan showed the green light to Barcelona.

Even before the season ended I knew he was going to leave Manchester City, tracked back to that game he missed the penalty and how Pep Josep Guardiola reacted, I knew they had Internal issues and would grace the chance to leave during the transfer window.
Man City made moves for Kovacic early even before the finals.

I'm no City fan, but I'll miss IIkay Gundogan honestly, he's so much of what is called creativity. But it does seem like Pep Guardiola won't miss him at all. He'll rather be a better help to Barcelona and bring balance and experience to the midfied. I'm sure of Barcelona still defending the La Liga next season.
Gundogan deserves everything that has to do with Barcelona, another player I expect to make the swith you City is Bernado Silva, fantastic player.

Exodus of the 2020-21 CL winners squad commences  

Seriously, it's quite crazy, here's the list of all Chelsea players who have won the Champions League sold or are going to be sold:

- Kai Havertz (just now)
- Kovacic (city)
- Kante (saudi league) <- soon to be followed by Zeyich and Mendy
- RLC
- Mount
- Pulisic
- Kepa ?

And when you consider how even more of Chelsea players left last season, it goes on to show that Chelsea squad really does have a short turnaround.

Its actually a good thing these Chelsea players are leaving Chelsea because most of them are either surplus to requirement or don't add much to the team. Players like Pulisic and Loftus-Cheek don't add much to the team. They're good players no doubt but they are not just as productive as they should be in Chelsea.
Kante is been plunged by injuries recently.
Another reason the squad overhaul is necessary is because the amount of players in Chelsea right now. There are so many players in Chelsea and they need to sell to stay on the positive side of the FFP rule. Hopefully Chelsea get things right this time around and so far they've been dong good business.

TBH, its not that surprising actually if you ask me. We all know about the Chelsea situation with FFP and with deadline coming near which is on June 30th, it was evident they will sell most of the players. I think I have written about the situation somewhere last week, yeah got it ^[1]. Using your list and editing it to see how much Chelsea has recovered from the sales.

• Kai Havertz >>> Arsenal : 70m Euro [fixed] + 6m Euro [add-ons] ✅
• Kovacic >>> City: 30m Euro ✅
• Kante >>> Al-Ittihad: Free ✅
• Ziyech >>> Al-Nassr: Still in negotiation ⏳
• Koulibaly >>> Al-Hilal: 25m Euro ⏳
• Mendy >>>Al-Ahli: Both combined with Koulibaly deal reported to be 40m Euro ⏳
• RLC >>> AC Milan interested (reports about 2-3 weeks ago) !?
  
• Mount >>> Manchester United: Chelsea wants 60-65m Euro⏳
• Pulisic [open to move]
• Kepa [not sure if he is open to move but I think Chelsea will keep him]

Recovered: 100m Euro almost
In negotiation: Around 120m Euro
Target: 200m Euro of Player sales

Yeah, its bit crazy that they are letting go most of the players that helped them in CL in 2019 but right now that's the only way to get out of this FFP situation.

I've been a Real Madrid fan for a long time, as far as I know the current squad isn't the ideal squad that Real Madrid often builds for the new season. Moreover, there is still 1 striker only, if Joselu gets injured Real Madrid has no substituted striker. IMHO, Joselu is only signed for another option for the striker position.

By the way, we still have a long time for the transfer window. So, there is enough time for Real Madrid to sign other players. Moreover, Real Madrid only signs 1 top player (Bellingham). They should buy some top players in the transfer window.

If you have been a long-time Madrid fan you should have understood for a long time what Peres wanted for the future of Madrid. Because so far Madrid is not in a hurry to buy, buy, and just buy. Keep in mind that compatibility is the main thing, it's useless to buy lots of players but in the end they don't match each other. Look at Chelsea who rush to buy here and there and when they find a mismatch in the end they can't solve the problem at hand. So I believe Perez is doing it very carefully and not recklessly just because the transfer window is still open.

Maybe you don't agree with Joselu recruitment, right? just because it doesn't mean Madrid is showing bad results? This is still the early stages of the transition, so you need to be very careful not to make a fatal decision. Florentino Perez has been monitoring Joselu for a long time and his progress will surely be monitored. Because of that Madrid dared to take it back. Even though Joselu's track record is not very good at Espanyol, because Joselu is a player from Madrid he will again show significant changes. Perez's hopes are indeed like that and hopefully, Joselu arrival will help the Madrid attack line a little, even though it is not 100% a suitable replacement for Benzema. Meanwhile, next year Mbappe is free without the need to incur large costs.

[Sterbens]

This is not related to saving the budget but indeed Madrid has no way to bring mbappe if they have a chance I believe Madrid is willing to pay more than 100 million
I know at this time the situation, Mbappe hasn't extended the contract and could have left next season but I don't think PSG will let him go just like that. They will do everything they can, including selling it at a cheaper price, assuming the extension of the contract is canceled, what is clear is that Madrid is not the main goal.

It's true, Mbappe's future is now being widely linked with Real Madrid and this connection started when Madrid was looking for a world-class striker, Ancelotti plans to prepare a coating as well as a substitute for Benzema's figure and I'm sure Real Madrid already know that they are not Mbappe's goal. , so it's useless if they still plan to get it, it's not going to happen. Mbappe has said that he will stay with PSG until his contract is finished, on the other hand I think PSG has no objection to releasing him to Real Madrid but that only applies for now before the contract expires, because after all if that happens next season when the contract runs out, it's the same as PSG will get nothing. But yes, it all comes back to Mbappe's decision where if he really chooses to stay with PSG until his contract expires, it is certain that PSG will gain nothing from his departure and Real Madrid also cannot expect too much from his arrival.

Randal Kolo Muani could be the best transfer Frankfurt have made in their history so far. Because they signed him on a free transfer and now his value has reached €80m. It was only €20m when he first came here. That is a really huge increase as a result. He is only 24 years old now also. He is such a great centre-forward right now.

Because he isn't only a centre-forward who scores goals and does nearly nothing other than that. His statistics this season were amazing - 46 games; 23 goals, 17 assists. He is the kind of a striker that many top teams would like to see in their squad. He is known by wasting that huge goal chance with France shirt in the World Cup maybe but he is a really skilled player in fact.

I don't think he won't get offers this summer. His value is really high but I think there would be still teams trying their luck. The most recent rumours are related to Newcastle.

The Frenchman news continues to circulate on football-related sites, and I believe it is an appropriate moment for Mbappe to decide whether to sign a long-term contract with PSG or accept the offer on the market. Kylian Mbappe's future is uncertain because he has yet to extend his contract with the Parisians and does not want to trigger an exit move from Parc des Princes this summer; the board cannot afford to lose him as a free agent, definitely it would be a hugh loss for PSG if he leaves as free agent next season; he's a big catch and also on Real Madrid's radar this season.

[JeffBrad12]

No more zidane for madrid as perez has found the most suitable replacement for ancelotti next year. Im very happy if xabi will be a new coach for real madrid next year. Xabi has been passing a sensational season with leverkusen last year. Xabi came at the middle of season and he was able to change everything in leverkusen. Im feeling if xabi gonna be another greatest coach in the future. I do like the way he coaches his club. I hope that xabi will become the next coach for real madrid.

Xabi Alonso has reportedly been lined up as the next Real Madrid manager, with Florentino Perez having found his "dream" Carlo Ancelotti replacement.

Im feeling so good to see how bayern was able pushing leverkusen from relegation zone to the middle of standing in bundesliga.
