⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[LGD2Business]

Angel Di Maria is returning to Benfica. He will play in Portugal again after 13 years. There was a lot of news about him, I wanted him to come to Beşiktaş, but the work on this issue was weak. We know that Di Maria can still play high-level football. He can win the championship in Portugal. How successful they will be in Europe depends a bit on the luck of the draw. Benfica has always been one of the strong teams. The contract will be for 1 year, but can be extended depending on performance. I think Benfica made the right transfer move.

according to information from 'l'equipe' bayern münchen and psg are already in advanced negotiations to be able to complete the transfer of Lucas Hernandez. according to the french newspaper, a transfer fee between €35 and €40 million is under discussion

As far as i know Lucas Hernandez has already told the officials of Bayern Munich, that he wants to leave the Club and they made a gentlemens agreement that he can leave Bayern if Paris is paying around 50 Million € of transfer fee for him. If PSG is not willing to pay that amount, then Hernandez agreed to stay at Bayern without making any problems and then is even possible that he prolongs his contract in Munich. It is much more likely though in my opinion that PSG is paying the asked amount.

Lucas Hernandez transfer to Paris Saint Germaine is not yet finalised as the the final agreements hasn't been reached because of the financial price request from Bayern Munich before they can let him go.
However, I think the player already has plans to leave Allianz Arena this summer transfer window and his desired destination is rumored to be the French capital which an added to advantage to PSG. It is reported that personal conditions of the player has already been discussed and if the clubs finally comes to a terms, Hernandez will be a PSG player next summer

The new Bayern board will not budge on his contract demand, so a clear message has been sent to Hernandez and his lawyer that he must sign the proposed contract offer or leave the club; he is no longer untouchable with De ligt in his place, and with the KIM deal almost completed with Napoli, it is only a matter of time before PSG closes the deal because personal terms have already been agreed upon with the player. PSG are getting a very good player here.

Indeed, I also feel that way, what the Arab League clubs are doing is very crazy, they are able to spend very large amounts of money when they want the player. They have succeeded in bringing in several top names from Europe's top leagues and it is not enough that they are still targeting many players to this day.
I asked if this was a form of league marketing they would appeal to more people, or is there some other reason behind everything they do,

In general, of course, the Arab League has very structured goals and dares to compete with any club in Europe, not only that, the finances owned by each Saudi Arabian club can be said to be very large. Regarding the promotion of the Arab League which is increasing rapidly, this will show the world of football that Saudi Arabia can dominate not only in the Arab environment. Precisely with big businessmen there investing in European clubs and it has been proven until now the Manchester City club, Newcastle and if the new Manchester United deal is successful then I think the Premier League will be easy for them to control.

Benfica has always been one of the strong teams. The contract will be for 1 year, but can be extended depending on performance. I think Benfica made the right transfer move.

At the age of 35, Angel Di Maria is still quite productive in terms of collecting goals. I like how he shows that performance in every club he plays for. Di Maria deserves to be earned by Benfica as a top-flight club and can still provide something extraordinary when he enters the Champions League. For this reason, the opportunity for Di Maria is still very open and more confident to give strength to the Benfica squad next season.

Manchester City seems very serious want to looking for Gundogan replacement and Guardiola seems focusing to gets new midfielder and if i am not mistaken actually Manchester City have already gets Mateo Kovacic from Chelsea and before Manchester City joining the race to gets Declan Rice actually Arsenal almost be certain to gets his signs especially Arsenal are willing to pay according to his price tag but recently some people has been encourage Rice to choose Manchester City this because at this team his potention to gets the trophies for every seasons is wide open because we all know Manchester City always be the favourite for each years and since Guardiola train this team Manchester City always ended the season with the trophy

Manchester City do not want to lose form and will be looking to replace Gundogan when he leaves for Barcelona. Arsenal better move quickly and seal the deal to get Declan Rice before Manchester City manipulate the market with big money and take over the deal, we have seen what they can do. I think Arsenal need to act fast and close the deal as soon as possible because City just won the treble and they look more attractive than any other team in football today.

It is much more likely though in my opinion that PSG is paying the asked amount.

I must admit that he was a wrong investment for Bayern to acquired him with a transfer fee of $80m and be sold for a given price less than $50m but he already had a fantastic journey with Bayern Munich with many trophy since 2019, and even when Tuchel joined the club, he became his favorite. He should proceed to Laliga where they only win League1 trophy and let Bayern used the money to bring Kim Min-Jae from Napoli.

Kim Jae performance this season was better than Hernandez, as Kim appeared through out this season with 2 assist and 2 goals while Hernandez appeared less and also suffered with an injury after the World Cup.

Not only was Benfica the right one to make this transfer, but Di Maria also had the right decision to return to the team that made his name in European football. It's no wonder that in the end you chose Benfica and with 13 years of experience this can be a good lesson for the young squad at Benfica. One season with benfica was also very good and at least we can see Di Maria competing in the champions league next season. Regardless of all that Di Maria's football passion in Europe is still burning and maybe after this he will retire or even go in the footsteps of other European players if there is an offer to join the Saudi league team.

Benfica has always been one of the strong teams. The contract will be for 1 year, but can be extended depending on performance. I think Benfica made the right transfer move.

I also think so, this is the right step taken by Benfica, Angel Di Maria is still in good form but his age is no longer young making it difficult for him to compete with young players in top European teams and I think that's why he chose Play with Benfica in the next season.
for competition in the Champions League Benfica is always worth reckoning with, this is a team that has a high mentality and with the arrival of senior players who have won everything it is very possible to be able to contribute greatly to the team.

I hadn't heard anything about Di Maria coming to Benfica until I came across these here. However, it's a nice move taken by Benfica, and I also think Di Maria did a very good job for him to choose Banfica and play with them in the following season. However, I also think the reason why he chose Benfica is that maybe if he said he should choose top teams, he may not shine as much as he will in Benfica because of the fact that young players have occupied the top teams, even if he intends to play there, in my opinion.

Due to the recent moves, I also believe that Benfica has a good chance of performing well in the upcoming season because they have players with extensive experience and have added Angel Di Maria to the squad. Since Di Maria is not new to football at this point and has been doing well, I think he will work as hard as he can to succeed in the team, and we hope to see Benfica in the top spot the following year.

I can't even expect if manchester city is trying to secure gvardiol from leipzig. There is an legit update came from romano regarding him. It has been reportedly by romano if city tried so hard to secure gvardiol from leipzig.


I can't even believe if city will get him for one hundred millions. That's crazy. Manchester city is still linked to the declan rice which was also having the same price as gvardiol. Is that mean if city gonna try to buy both at the same rate?
It sounds crazy if it is gonna be real. I can't describe how crazy manchester city is in upcoming season.

City is seriously become los galacticos in premier league right now as so many great players targeted by this club.

[Coyster]

according to information from german sportmagazine 'kicker', croatian international Josko Gvardiol has reached an agreement with manchester city on a long-term cooperation and has informed rb leipzig of his intention to transfer. however, the german dfb cup winners have not yet received an official offer for the 21-yo center back from rbl. leipzig are prepared to let JG go, but only in return for a transfer fee in the region of €100 million.

City have got one Croatian already this summer, in Kovacic, and now they want to sign another Croatian, Josko Gvardiol. It is known that Pep has admired this player for sometime now, so it was easy for Gvardiol to agree personal terms with City, i think the problem is now going to be Leipzig, City would not want to spend €100m for this player, i know he is very young and also a good player, but he is not worth €100m.

City would try to bargain as best as possible and might be able convince Leipzig to cut down on the transfer fee. Having said that, City can't sign both Rice and Gvardiol, it can only be either of them because the two selling clubs value their players at/over €100m, and City can't spend that amount on two players in one summer transfer window.

Sunday's gossip:

Manchester City are considering a bid for Paris St-Germain right-back Achraf Hakimi, 24, and "will not hesitate" to pay a big fee for the Morocco international. Manchester City is getting stronger for the new season and another top footballer is leaving PSG.
Manchester City have agreed personal terms with RB Leipzig's Croatia centre-back Josko Gvardiol, 21. According to all available information, Guardiol will become the most expensive defensive footballer in history and join another Croatian in the team, Kovacic.
Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea will hold meetings with the agents of Napoli's Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen, 24, next week over a potential move to the Premier League. Everyone wants Osimhen, but what will he decide in the end? 
Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel has asked the club to bid for Barcelona's Netherlands midfielder Frenkie de Jong, 26, after pulling out of the race to sign England's Declan Rice, 24, from West Ham. Good job for Bayern, but will Barcelona agree?

Manchester City do not want to lose form and will be looking to replace Gundogan when he leaves for Barcelona. Arsenal better move quickly and seal the deal to get Declan Rice before Manchester City manipulate the market with big money and take over the deal, we have seen what they can do. I think Arsenal need to act fast and close the deal as soon as possible because City just won the treble and they look more attractive than any other team in football today.

On the other hand, Manchester City still needs Gundogan's presence because it is clear that Guardiola still needs his services, and reportedly The Citizens have tried to keep him for at least the next year and have been offered a contract extension, but in the end these negotiations failed because reportedly Barcelona promised a bigger salary from Manchester City and on the other hand it also seems like Gundogan wants to find new experiences and achievements with other clubs because we all know he has managed to get everything with Manchester City. Other than that, I don't think Guardiola should worry about finding a candidate, and I don't think Manchester City will be too busy chasing Declan Rice. Because they have managed to find a replacement for Gundogan, namely Kovacic who is considered suitable to fill the void in the midfield for next season's competition, Kovacic has above average abilities and looks flexible on the field.

[Jackl87]

Romano has also reported the same. Manchester City and Josko Gvardiol has reached an agreement in personal terms after a week or so but as expected RB Leipzig wants 100m Euro for it. I think there is no surprise given how hot Gvardiol is going right now. I would say City will try to negotiate in coming days and I think with a fixed fee + add ons nearing to 100m Euro I think RB Leipzig are gonna allow Gvardiol transfer to City. It would really make City's defense line strong for next season and he is young as well so can serve City for long term and can win lot of trophies with City. I am sure Gvardiol gonna sign at least for 5-6 years at least for City when he signs as a new player in this transfer window.

Josko Gvardiol played a great Bundesliga season and in addition to that he also was one of the best young players of the World cup this year. So it is not really a surprise that he also got the attention of the biggest clubs recently. His market value was at 60 million € a few months ago already so he definitely is one of the most promising young players right now.
Also, i am not surprised that RB Leipzig wants to have 100 M € for him. They have just lost Nkunku and Laimer. To lose 3 of their best players at once would be a pretty heavy blow for them.

If Achraf Hakimi succeeds to Manchester City, then in the hands of Pep Guardiola he will become a reliable player. Since becoming the main Moroccan squad, Achraf Hakimi name has continued to be in the spotlight and will have a fairly high selling value. Considering that PSG is currently rocked by various problems by leaving several players and if Achraf Hakimi is finally brought in by Manchester City, PSG will automatically not have a solid back line defense. I agree with Achraf Hakimi playing in the Premier League because there he can do more.

I don't think for de Jong he would not be interested in going to Bayern Munich at the moment, as several other clubs have offered, the answer remains the same which is that he really wants to stay at Barcelona and be part of the priority squad and is even willing to accept a reduction in salary. That means de Jong really loves Barcelona as his dream club.

Their invasion has indeed been felt and I think this will also continue to happen in the future because regardless of anything given their current condition it is quite clear that they want something more from a business perspective and indeed to penetrate into Europe now they are not no doubt about the quality of the money but of course this will not make them satisfied and what they want to highlight is football in the Asian region especially their league.
This will be a bit of a threat from the European leagues because surely with the arrival of some big players now it will definitely make the prestige of the pro Arab league even more known especially at this time the main goal is probably not only for Al Nassr but Al Ahyah and Al Hilal will be enough waiting for the broadcast because there are several European class players who are still good enough to watch.

I agree with Achraf Hakimi playing in the Premier League because there he can do more.

This might be an initial reaction because we know that one of Manchester City's mainstay defenders Walker has been linked with several rumors to leave Manchester City and of course this will be a reference for them so they are eager to bring Hakimi from PSG.
He has good enough potential to replace Walker, on the other hand he also has the vision to play and sometimes he is also always able to defend and attack in a match.
Apart from that, even though Walker didn't leave in the end, his contract and age are no longer young, so it is possible for Manchester City to seek regeneration earlier and Hakimi can do that.

I don't think for de Jong he would not be interested in going to Bayern Munich at the moment, as several other clubs have offered, the answer remains the same which is that he really wants to stay at Barcelona and be part of the priority squad and is even willing to accept a reduction in salary. That means de Jong really loves Barcelona as his dream club.

For Bayern this indicates that they have given up on targeting Rice and are looking for new options and when I saw De Jong's name I wasn't really surprised because last season the rumors were still the same.
I don't really know the condition of Barcelona's arrears to De Jong now because if you look at the previous mirror he didn't want to leave because Barcelona still has arrears on de Jong's wages that haven't been paid but now I don't see any news about this.
On the other hand, De Jong's best friend is still at Bayern, so this could also be of added value now if Barcelona's arrears end and Bayern want to leave.
But as you said, this is unlikely because it looks like De Jong is back to being comfortable with his position at Barcelona at the moment.

I am sure Gvardiol gonna sign at least for 5-6 years at least for City when he signs as a new player in this transfer window.

It's no wonder that RB Leipzig is charging a price for one of its defenders. although to be honest, the price they charged for Josko Gvardiol was too high. I also read this news from several newspapers, including from Romano and TEAMTALK. Manchester City have agreed personal terms with the player Jugen Klopp wants to sign for Liverpool, according to Romano. both City and Liverpool, are in the market to deepen their defense during the summer transfer window.

City could lose centre-half Aymeric Laporte as he hopes to join a new club where he will have more playing time. meanwhile for Liverpool, a defensive overhaul is in sight as Virgil van Dijk and Joel Matip have reached the age of 30+. that means, The Red needs a younger centre-back. Therefore, Klopp really wants to bring in Josko Gvardiol from RB Leipzig as the successor to Virgil van Dijk. sadly, City have come a long way closer to bringing him to the Etihad Sadium. I think City will try to negotiate with the Club to smoothen their plans. if this is the case, it is very likely that Josko Gvardiol will play in the Premier League next season. with status, as the most expensive defender to bring him to england.

Chelsea is happy in selling Lukaky for 40 mil.

If they will sell him they are going for Vlahovic, they have already spoken with the player.

Only Arab teams can give $ 40 million for the transfer of Lukaku. However, we know that Lukaku wants to stay in Europe. Chelsea had really bad transfer planning in the past. When I look at the players they are trying to send from the team, my mind stops. If they manage to turn the transfer frenzy of the Arab teams into an opportunity, they can make up for some of the mistakes they made in the past. Otherwise, it seems as if they will have to grapple with first the sporting failures and then the financial problems. It's sad to see the once great Chelsea in this state now.

I'll want to see a switch to Real Madrid over Manchester City for Hakimi, Real Madrid needs a young and experience player for the right fullback position. But, everyone wants to work with Pep Guardiola, this might still turn out interesting.
Josko Gvardiol has been linked with top European side's ever since the Fifa World Cup Competition kicked off, glad to see he took a great decision to work with Pep Guardiola, great player honestly.

I'll say it even a million times, the final destination for Victor Oshime would be Chelsea, the case of not being involved in any of them European Competition is just the flaw to his move this summer, once Chelsea returns, it'll be a done deal between Osimhen, Napoli and Chelsea.   Barcelona are financially unstable, it's either they take it or leave, bit since the player is loyal to Barcelona, I don't think it'll get finalized.

I think that leipzig will consider manchester city's offer. City is seriously wanna get gvardiol from leipzig as soon as possible. The decision will be on leipzig as personal agreements already reached. If leipzig will agree with manchester city's offer and the transfer can be done as soon as possible.

City, who also won the FA Cup and Champions League to complete a stunning Treble last season, are determined to secure the signature of RB Leipzig defender Gvardiol, who the German club value at around €100m (£85m/$109m). The European champions have reportedly tabled a new bid worth £77m plus add-ons after reaching a verbal agreement with the player according to Sky Sports journalist Philipp Hinze.

Goal has reported it

I think city's bid alreayd quite high and it's almost touching what is demanding by leipzig at this moment. I think that leipzig must consider such offer seriously.
Gvardio is only a few steps away before he will be city's player.
It's a big dream for him to join in the club that recently won treble winners.
