⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Oluwa-btc]

There are reports that Bayern Munich have submitted an official offer of €70m+add ons  to Tottenham for Harry Kane as he is entering the final year of his Tottenham contract. Honestly I think Spurs shouldn't be selling Kane for more than €80M. They've extracted all the performances in the world from him, He's old, running out of contract & a youth product. I think its a win win for them, they'll have to replace Son & Kane later if they let things progress till next season.

As I read from The Athletic, Bayern Munich have made a written "formal" bid for Kane's contract, their bid being £70m plus odds-on for an unspecified sum. the base fee would equate to around £60 million, which seems low for a player of Kane's pedigree, but takes into account his age (he will turn 30 at the start of the new season) and contract status.
Well, Bayern have made the first concrete move for England's all-time leading goalscorer. their interest was boosted by former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel. I also read another report from Fabrizio Romano which said Bayern had made a formal bid for Harry Kane. fixed fee close to €70 million plus add-ons, not enough to convince Tottenham. formal proposal was rejected. Previously, I was sure that Spurs would not let their striker go for anything close to £100 million.
Despite the rumours, Kane is willing to leave in this summer's transfer window. To be honest, I don't know what Levy was thinking, and should be, Spurs let Kane go because Kane's contract will expire next season. so roughly, whether Bayern will make a follow-up bid.

Daniel Levey would love to accept bids from Bayern Munich over Manchester United, Though, Harry Kane as I read weeks back has said he'll choose a move to clubs in the Premier League over the once overseas. As this current bid from Bayern Munich, I hope he accepts it immediately, he'll not struggle to adapt, as it's the same tap in goals scored by Lewandoski he'll score. He's just a big shark in a small tank at or ad a Tottenham Hotspur player. There are bigger seas for him to go swim.

He'll be the perfect option for Bayern Munich to lead the attacking line. Currently Manchester United are not ready to get him for the price placed on him, he shouldn't hesitate to accept Bayern Munich.

Bayern Munich is exactly the kind of club Harry Kane fits in. He will score so many goals at Bayern. Not because the Bundesliga is weak, but because Kane is that good. Bayern Munich creates a lot of chances for their attackers and I trust Kane to finish those chances easily. Bayern Munich guarantees Kane trophies, and one of the only things Kane lacks right now are trophies.

Kane is good no doubt but the bundesliga is a weak league, there are a lot of good players too especially the attackers, they have quality attacking players in the league but the defenders are very very poor, even their best attackers find it difficult to adapt to the premier league, Timo Warner and Kai Havertz finds it hard to go past premier league defenders. they lack defensive skills in the bundesliga league and that’s why it is very difficult for the league to produce an outstanding defender. Harry kane would perfectly fit in to Bayern Munich and replace Robert Lewandoski who have been missed by team mates and fans. Harry kane would undoubtedly be their highest goal scorer in the league.
Both Bayern and Madrid are perfect team for Kane, he will fit in easily and trophies are guaranteed for him so he just needs to figure out his best choice among the two teams but if i was to advise I would rather he goes to Madrid than Bayern because Madrid is one of the teams that are favored in terms of Ballon D’or.

What? if this happens it will be very surprising I think because of course seeing Mbappe in the last few seasons of course we will definitely think with Madrid without anything else
In other conditions, if this really happened, then again Liverpool took an extreme and unexpected turn because they also overtook Manchester United for Gakpo last season. But with other clubs interested than Madrid for Mbappe it would be very interesting given the competition there will definitely be and I'm quite excited about what will happen if two clubs dare with over 200 million for a player.

If Mbappe's transfer to Liverpool takes place, Liverpool will suddenly become one of the big favorites as Manchester City. Actually, from the very beginning I believed that Real Madrid could make the transfer, I still believe in him, but if Liverpool convinces Mbappe, next year the Haaland and Mbappe race will be the scene of a tighter competition in the EPL, that's for sure.

Yep, if indeed Mbappe's transfer to Liverpool is successful and turns Madrid around then Liverpool will indirectly get a strong boost for their attack line and of course the hope for them is very big especially if in the end Mbappe goes to Liverpool then we will see a new rival created between Mbappe and Haaland of course
It's just that in this case it's still a little difficult because seeing from this condition there will still be competition because of course we know that even though Madrid doesn't really want Mbappe but I don't know what the media is behind because there could be a surprise with a big offer for Mbappe from Madrid.

Harry Kane has had private discussions and the results are positive as stated in the news on Twitter, Harry Kane's desire to leave is there but it's still difficult at the price tag that Tottenham are at, now only Bayern Munich can finish but I think this is going to be a tough negotiation.

Interesting to see Kane news today and it seems Bayern are indeed going after him. Like you said, Bayern and Kane happens to have now reached an agreement with his family members leading the negotiations as reported by Christian Falk today ^[1]. Now in order to start things, it seems they now need to come in agreement over the the fee for which this move is gonna happen. Bayern put 70m Euro on the table and was rejected by Spurs immediately as expected ^[2]. Spurs expect 100m Euro at least for Kane (again as expected).

To me it's bit surprising to see Kane actually accepting to an offer outside England but I guess when it comes to a top player it's obvious that he is gonna choose a top club and Bayern is first to make a move right now. I would say even if they are able to make it like 100m Euro meet with most of it fixed and some add-ons then I think Kane to Bayern can happen. Remember it's still in early stages so lot of negotiations and discussions will go on. For every party involved I think it's a good opportunity here.

It would be good to see Kane in a club that actually wins trophies. His illustrious career has been shadowed by Tottenham for years now. I hope the deal goes through and he signs for Bayern. For one, he gets to play UCL football next year and secondly, Bayern might win their Bundesliga as they always do. $100M is too much given his age right now - but I feel Bayern can close the negotiations and land Kane. This also means that the door is still open of Real Madrid to get Harry Kane if Mbappe ends up going for a club other than Madrid.

Yep, if indeed Mbappe's transfer to Liverpool is successful and turns Madrid around then Liverpool will indirectly get a strong boost for their attack line and of course the hope for them is very big especially if in the end Mbappe goes to Liverpool then we will see a new rival created between Mbappe and Haaland of course

I'm a Liverpool fan but this seems far-fetched for Liverpool, at least not right now - Funny thing is, we currently have nice attacking options but it would be super nice to land Mbappe (I'm a fan), even more, it would put Liverpool on track to win a major trophy in the coming season(s) but like I said, it's far-fetch. I don't see a deal like this happening right now but who knows....

This is the truth haha. Daniel Levy is man who has repeatedly said he will not sell Harry Kane to a premier league clubside; and this was exactly what pushed Manchester city to go for the Haaland project last summer. Both Manchester United and Bayern Munich need a point man, a target man and a goalscorer in their respective squads.

Dealing with Daniel Levy over a player is one thing, Harry Kane choice is another. With barely 60 goals to break the premier league all time goal scoring record; will Harry Kane choose Bayern over Manchester United?

Despite the rumours, Kane is willing to leave in this summer's transfer window. To be honest, I don't know what Levy was thinking, and should be, Spurs let Kane go because Kane's contract will expire next season. so roughly, whether Bayern will make a follow-up bid.

Levy is one kind of director that hardly lets go of his player except they are surplus to requirements. He did same thing last two seasons and forced Kane into signing a new contract. This time he is bent on not losing him for less than 100 million.  Although Bayern need a striker but his age is a serious barrier and with this rejected bid i think we would see a tug of bid between them and Manchester United soon. If you ask me Kane is the perfect player for both teams but that amount is way too high, the last player that was sold that amount at that age (~30) was Ronaldo to Juve from Real Madrid and we all know that Ronaldo has a better marketing brand than Kane.

if indeed Mbappe's transfer to Liverpool is successful and turns Madrid around then Liverpool will indirectly get a strong boost for their attack line and of course the hope for them is very big especially if in the end Mbappe goes to Liverpool then we will see a new rival created between Mbappe and Haaland of course

Liverpool will be a good team for Mbappe but I doubt they have the fund for that. Liverpool do not spend much money on a single player. I think Madrid are interested in Mbappe but one thing is Perez sure knows business, any unnecessary spending now could have FFP on his back. Moreover Mbappe himself is keen to join Madrid, s Perez wouldn’t want to rush into the negotiations because he knows that if PSG doesn’t sell this season he will have his man for free next season and if the transfer delays PSG might lower there price.

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

I think Hakimi to Manchester city is a dicey one. I want to believe that Real Madrid has a first refusal on Hakimi just in case PSG wants to sell. Would Hakimi choose the Real Madrid project or the MCFC english premier league project?

I think time will tell and i believe Hakimi will remain in France for an additional year

Achraf Hakimi has more chances to go to Real Madrid than Manchester City because after all he has played for Real Madrid, it's just that at that time he didn't get a place in the main squad because he couldn't compete with Dani Carvajal as the coach's choice. Manchester City are not seeking a right-back as the need for a player in that position is still there and I think he is more likely to go to Real Madrid, but so far nothing has been confirmed about his future.

If this transfer process continues PSG will have lost many of its best players and even more so if Kylian Mbappe also leaves. It seems that something has happened and many PSG players feel uncomfortable staying there, somehow the condition of PSG next season and even though they could bring in another player as a replacement for those who have left.

[cryptofrka]

I don't feel that there's anything in the Kane to Bayern rumors. If he's to go anywhere, I feel it will be to United.

Considering what United needs, I'm really surprised that this didn't happen 3+ years ago. I respect Kane for staying, but he's really close to finishing his career without a single trophy.
Shame for such a great player, maybe that will ultimately be the deciding factor to finally leave Spurs.

[Bananington]

Rabiot extended his contract for 1 more year with Juventus.

The player was rumored to move to Manchester United.

There are plenty rumours in the transfer Market, an example of one right now is Liverpool's interest in Mbappe. Liverpool have backed out of bidding for some players this season because of their price tag. Liverpool will not buy Mbappe. The club that everyone knows will find a way to get him and where he has his interest is Real Madrid, not any English team.

If Real Madrid fail to buy Mbappe, he will remain in PSG.

[AakZaki]

Real Madrid extending their contracts is a very good one as they will both be important mentor figures  for Real's exciting young midfielders such as new signing Jude Bellingham. Even with all of the midfield competition around them now, few are able to interpret the game or spaces as well as Kroos and Modric. There is a good chance that their roles will be reduced further this season, but Real Madrid still needs them and are still giving the ball to them when they need to solve their problems next season.

A year's time is not long, but it is beneficial to provide learning to new players. It looks like Kroos and Modric agreed to extend their contracts by one year. Modric will not go to Saudi Arabia yet, they will until June 2024 in Madrid. Maybe this condition will make Anceloti calm down a little. He can still play two of the best midfielders, I think they are intelligent despite getting older. Real Madrid also have time to continue trying to find a replacement before they leave.

[Pokapoka124]

Koulibaly’s Chelsea spell is ended quickly, it is a shame his departure from Napoli was suppose to be a successful one especially having established himself as a key figure at Napoli but failed to meet expectations. He’s now forced to make a move to Saudi Arabia this summer. It seems Saudi league is now the new deal as we are seeing many top players accepting move to Saudi Arabia for the money.

[Adams0001]

I think Madrid are interested in Mbappe but one thing is Perez sure knows business, any unnecessary spending now could have FFP on his back.

If mbappe wants to enjoy his career and win many trophies, he must join Real Madrid, and Madrid has already begun negotiations with PSG. I believe mbappe will join Madrid this summer, and he prefers to play there. mbappe cannot enjoy playing at Liverpool because their football philosophy differs from that of PSG and Madrid. When you look at Mbappe's entire career, a few aspects of his game stick out: pace, dribbling, ability to beat a marking, and decision making. This last characteristic is crucial because it has distinguished him from others throughout his career

[emrecemsan]

I was wondering if Mane would leave Bayern Munich this summer. Because not a long time ago, Mane gave some signals to his possible departure. He was feeling like he didn't belong there and he missed some religious activities as well. However as far as I can see now he isn't likely to leave yet anyway. His manager stated that Mane still had 2 more years on his contract and there was no offer from a Saudi Arabia team either. In this case I also don't see any reason for him to leave now.

But if he gets an offer from Saudi Arabia then I think he would consider it seriously. The summer transfer window has just started so there is a long time to see if this happens.

I think it is only right if Mane leaves Bayern Munich to Saudi Arabia'; the relationship in Germany went sour when he fought with Sane and the German media reportedly backed Sane in the incidence, Mane even got fined too. It is unsure if Tuchel can convince Mane to remain but time will tell.

A strike force of Mane, Kane and Sane would be lit in Europe, if Bayern can make it happen

[Captain Corporate]

Tuchel definitely would want Mane to stay, that is why this news is not really a news and I do not think that it should matter at all. I feel like the only thing that matters in this case would be Mane actually ending up deciding to stay himself, otherwise what other people are suggesting doesn't matter at all. I believe he will not stay, if you have bigoted people who are preventing people from religious activities, then I am sorry but you deserve to lose your players. Mane wanted simple things, and he got punished for it, its his personal right to ask for those religious activities. In any case, I think its normal for him to not want to stay, but if he does, I bet that there will be some things that will change.

If this is for real nobody would have seen it coming!

Liverpool seems now to be the hottest candidate to sign Mbappe, but what the heck is going on? Klopp has been asked often times and he said that it would never ever be possible for Liverpool to bid for Mbappe. Never, he emphasized! Now there are many sources that say Liverpool is about to pull the ultimate trigger. I can't believe it, but I would like it. Mbappe as the leader of a whole new project at Anfield Road. This would be amazing. it would be something different than Manchester City and Real Madrid. Even though Liverpool is huge, still nobody would have expected it. That makes it so interesting.

Interesting information, however, I can not appreciate its closeness to reality. It remains only to wait. In fact, I would also be interested in seeing Liverpool with Mbappe vs. City with Haaland head-to-head several times a season.
But in general, if this transfer takes place, it will be mega funny, since Mbappe talked too much about his love for PSG and Real Madrid-dream-childhood team. Choosing the third option would be absurd.

I was thinking exactly about that. He flirted with Real Madrid for over half a decade now and Perez will be furious if now Liverpool is the one to snatch Mbappe out of nothing As often as Klopp said that a transfer will never be possible for Liverpool and they won't even try to make an offer, as funny it would be now if he is wearing the Reds jersey next season. But yes I would also like to see him head-to-head not only with Haaland, but with the strongest teams from the Premier League in general. it would be an even more amazing league with him playing for Liverpool.

Well the first offer from Bayern Munich was rejected by Tottenham. I think the second option might be that Bayern Munich will increase their offer if they really want to sign Harry Kane in this transfer window. I'm not surprised if Harry Kane will accept offers from outside the EPL because it's a principle that Tottenham don't want to release their stars to EPL teams.  so in this case I think Tottenham really want to dissuade Kane from leaving in this transfer window, the figure of 70 million I think is very suitable especially since he will be 30 years old in the next month. But all of that is in the hands of the Tottenham management if they want to hold it at 100 million, of course the team interested in Kane must spend as much money as they want. Apart from that I think if Harry Kane goes to the Bundesliga with Bayern Munich of course he will be able to get a lot of trophies because Bayern Munich is a big team that is very strong in the Bundesliga. Bayern Munich have yet to find a suitable replacement for their front line after Lewandowski left so there is a good chance they will again make a higher bid for Tottenham in this transfer window.

The laws of the market and bargaining have not been canceled yet, and I would be very surprised if Bayern Munich would immediately offer the maximum that they agree to pay for a player, and Tottenham, on the contrary, would agree to the first offer. This is just the beginning, and apparently Bayern Munich is really the only real candidate to buy a player, because the other real candidates can only be from England, and I am absolutely sure that Tottenham probably won't want to strengthen their competitors, unless they offer exorbitant amounts, for example, in the region of 200 million euros. Bayern really need such a scoring player, and even if they managed to leave Sadio Mane, it would be possible to see the reincarnation of a super bond similar to Salah's link with Mane in Liverpool.

Mbappe will left PSG a day to join Real Madrid until he became old or useless. That's the only reality I believe it will happen.
If we continue to talk theoretically, then except Real Madrid, only few teams could afford him and his transfer money. Saudi Arabia teams but he will not move there since he is too young and he will ruin his career. Manchester City but they already picked Haaland and don't seem interested to pick him. There is Manchester United and Chelsea but we didn't hear anything from them. Bayern Munich? but Bundesliga isn't that competitive comparing to La Liga and EPL.

[CryptopreneurBrainboss]

I think Ten Hag knows better what the team needs, Masom Mount is a very good player, it's just that last season the performance of the Chelsea team was bad so many people were disappointed with masom mount, but I think it's not masom mount's fault because of the performance of a team depends on all the players in the squad not just a few players.
And regarding Chelsea who set a very high price, I think it's also very reasonable because Masom Mount is a young player and has good quality so it's possible for this player to develop and be in top performance for a long time.

Mason Mount only played badly last season because he had injury and when he returns there were contract negotiations and Chelsea wasn't making him happy so how then do people expect Mason Mount to continue playing brilliantly in those conditions. Mason Mount only wanted similar contract to that of Reece James that he was better than because for the past few seasons Mason Mount has always been one of our best players and he won the award twice in a roll. Reece James wasn't playing regularly due to injury yet he still got a new contract negotiations and Mason Mount wasn't been given a fair contract.

Mason Mount knows if he leaves Chelsea he'll be getting exactly the salary he wanted or get paid more. As it stands Chelsea aren't in the best position to retain players because they have no European trophy to challenge for next season and players are leaving the club. If I was in the shoes of Mason Mount I'll do the same. The club was a joke last season and things could have been different if Todd Boehly left the affairs of the club to those who were employed just for that. Chelsea will sell Mason Mount but they're just delaying to see if they can get more money from his sell.
