⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Slow death]

Saturday's gossip:

France striker Kylian Mbappe thinks he might have to leave Paris St-Germain this summer as he is still not planning to extend his contract beyond 2024 and the 24-year-old's preferred option is to join Real Madrid.
PSG believe Mbappe has already agreed to join Real Madrid on a free transfer next summer and, if he does not sign a new deal with the French champions, they will sell him to the highest bidder this summer regardless of who it is.
Mbappe's first preference if he were to move to the Premier League would be Arsenal but he is beyond the budget of the Gunners and no contact has been made between the two parties.
It seems to me that Mbappe is ready to extract the maximum amount of money that he can from PSG and from Real and that he is actually quite an arrogant and greedy footballer. The owners of PSG obviously don't want to put up with it anymore, such ingratitude and arrogance, and are ready to get rid of him as soon as possible. I think that the story with Arsenal is not realistic and that Mbappe can only go to 1 club, to Real.
Portugal forward Joao Felix is keen on a move to PSG but he could end up staying at Atletico Madrid, who want 100m euros for the 23-year-old. Obviously all the clubs know that PSG has money and they always want to get more for their players. Will PSG agree to this request?  
United boss Erik ten Hag is intent on offloading Sancho as well as England defender Harry Maguire, 30, Brazil midfielder Fred, 30, and Scotland midfielder Scott McTominay, 26. It seems that ten Hag is making big changes to Manchester United and rebuilding the squad. Will this help the club to return to its ''old ways of glory''?

well, about mbappe, his situation at PSG is getting worse every day and I'm also not seeing real madrid showing any intention of signing him, maybe it's because they're still waiting to see what price PSG will want to sell him, but I think that mbappe doesn't have many options, and in my opinion I see mbappe extending his contract for many years, he doesn't have many options at the moment. about Joao Felix, he was a disaster after he left atlético madrid, so it makes sense that he didn't get much attention from the new manager of chelsea and other big teams, and I very much doubt that if he returns to atlético madrid he will get a guaranteed place in the starting 11.

about Harry Maguire i think manchester united should have done this a long time ago, there are many other players that manchester united released this season, and it makes perfect sense, manchester united attack has been weak, the coach must do changes in these attacking players if you want to see good results next season, because in my opinion in the last 4 years manchester united has not been fighting for the title, so it's time for manchester united to fight for the title and go far in the european champions league and I think that's what the manager of manchester united wants this season

Dusan Vlahovic can be a substitute for Lukaku in my opinion.. Rumors suggest that Chelsea is eyeing Vlahovic for a potential transfer to Stamford Bridge. I think that the possibility for swap process gonna happen between chelsea and juventus.

There are rumours floating around concerning this swap agreement. Although Fabrizio has not provided an official update on this matter, it is not a rumour that Chelsea showed interest in Vlahovic. Vlahovic was one of Pochettino's target strikers. Chelsea are still looking for a striker, and Pochettino has identified a few players he would like to work with. His target was to sign one of these players—Osimhen, Vlahovic, or Kolomuani—but Osimhen is no longer on the list because the price tag on him was too high when Chelsea contacted Napoli about him. Vlahovic is now the next target and since juventus have shown interest in Lukaku this could only mean they are willing to sell Vlahovic and if so then this is the perfect opportunity for chelsea to sign him.

Despite receiving many blames for frequently making errors during the game, Lukaku should be conscious of the fact that numerous Serie A clubs want him.

Lukaku still got qualities and his style of play suits the italian league better thats why serie A teams still want to sign him. He just had a bad game in the champions league final and since he struggled throughout the season everyone just criticized him forgetting what he has done for the club in the past. He led them to the italian league trophy back when conte was in charge so i feel they should be more grateful to him.

I doubt Inter Milan will let Juventus take Lukaku from them. Chelsea will let the player go once they receive a good offer. Inter want to get him with low fees and maybe they will be obliged to increase their proposition since Juve entered the game too.

Chelsea’s asking price remains the same and inter milan are not willing to pay that much for lukaku even though they need his services. With the look of things now i think inter milan will lose Lukaku because the best deal for chelsea would be to trade Lukaku and Vlahovic since both team have what they need. Chelsea desperately needs a striker and Vlahovic is on the list so I don’t think chelsea would consider inter milan offer.

It has been confirmed that David De Gea will be leaving Manchester United during this summer. He has served as an excellent player for Man United over the years. To be honest, the treatment he received from the club and their handling of the contract extension offer were quite shocking. This is definitely the end of an era, as De Gea is the final player who had the opportunity to play under Sir Alex Ferguson to leave both Old Trafford. It's disheartening to see his departure happening like this. Anyway I wish him good luck and hope will be happy wherever he heading.

To some extent, it resembles the separation of Real and Casillas - not very beautiful. But what to do, apparently regarding the salary, his game raises questions (well, as always, considerations about the prospects are also significant, although he is not yet at such a serious age). I wonder where he will continue his career, I think as a free agent he will have a good options in any case.

[coinlocket$]

The rumor about the interest of Juventus in Lukaku should be just a clickbait bs.

It has been confirmed to be a bs from different sources.

De Gea out, Onana in?



@FabrizioRomano
Next steps for André Onana deal 🔴🇨🇲

◉ New direct contacts between Inter and Man United over the weekend;

◉ Official final bid next week to be accepted;

◉ Clubs hope to have documents ready around Weds/Thurs;

◉ Onana already agreed terms with Man Utd.

Matter of days 🏁
https://twitter.com/fabrizioromano/status/1677687168465002497

It was reported that Manchester United are willing to have Onana in the team and that Inter aren't against his departure. The only difference is the money to be paid, €50m proposed by Manchester United and €60m by Inter. I assume they will agreed for something in between, maybe €55m plus or less €1m or €2m.
He will be useful for the squad and for Manchester United ambition for the title next season

[Leviathan.007]

De Gea said goodbye to Manchester United and now he is ready to leave this team, since they are going to start working with Onana soon, Manchester United didn't extend the contract with this Spanish goalkeeper.
There is some news about De Gea leaving the European teams for Saudi Arabia but still, I think he has the excellent performance to receive better offers.

More rumors about a potential for Joao Felix in France to PSG.
In the past few days, other people have spoken about it and the deal will be a thing ONLY IF Neymar will leave PSG.


To link the above in the past months we got rumors of Neymar joining the premier league or going to Arabia.

The club's financial situation makes it difficult for Barcelona to sign players who have a high market value and they prefer players who have a low bid value but have proven quality. Guler is also one of the long-term prospects for Real Madrid and they can invest in young players for potential for the next few seasons because Real Madrid has the stable finances to make long-term prospects, as did 16-year-old Endrick.

Barcelona need the right players in an unstable financial condition like now and they have to look for players who have a value that is not too high and vice versa with a salary. Even though Guler was rumored to have moved to Barcelona, in the end Real Madrid was much better prepared to accommodate the player.

Barcelona finances have not improved enough after the club experienced a financial crisis last season. Not strong finances have indeed become a difficult thing for Barcelona in targeting players who have high release clauses in this transfer window. I have seen that there are two players that Barcelona failed to get in the transfer window this season where the first was Brozovic who they wanted from Inter Milan but in the end Brozovic chose Al Nassr as the next team and the second was Arda Guler who joined to Real Madrid compared to Barcelona.

So basically a salary offer will also trigger players be reluctant to join them if another team is able to provide a bigger salary. But on the one hand Barcelona have got good quality players in this transfer window without having to spend money because Gundogan is a free transfer player that Barcelona got in this transfer window.

There are always many rumors about Neymar. We already heard a long time that he wants to leave PSG because he has many problems there. One of the problem is related to his relationship with Mbappe. So, I'm sure Neymar will leave PSG as soon as possible if Mbappe stays in PSG for a more season. But Neymar may chnage his mind if Mbappe moves to Real Madrid.

Anyway why signing Felix will depend on Neymar departure?
Felix and Neymar have a different position, so having Felix won't harm Neymar's position on the squad.

When that transfer of Joao Felix from Benfica to Atletico Madrid happened back in 2019 it was really a transfer that raised a lot of attention because the transfer fee of 127 Million € that Atletico has paid for him is still one of the biggest that was ever paid. I think it is safe to say now, that sadly Joao Felix could not life up to those huge expectations at all. Not in Atletico Madrid and also not now in FC Chelsea. His market value at the moment is "only" 50 Million € so i am afraid that Felix could go down the road of many wonderkids before and slowly but surely lose relevance and market value. I doubt that he is a player that can replace Neymar to be honest.

[BitcoinHunt3r]

I like this gossip haha. This is the perfect opportunity for Joao Felix to revive his career and doing so under Luis Enrique is any perfect gift any young stalwart would desire. After having his progress limited at Atletico Madrid, Joao Felix can start over again in the French league, little media outrage, lesser pressure and face of the rebuild in the French capital. Hopefully he makes the right career choice this time.

If the player is willing, then the clubside will be willing; PSG can negotiate a cheaper fee for Joao Felix if he agrees personal terms with them.

So PSG has prepared steps to anticipate if Mbappe really leaves in the middle of this season because so far there is no clarity regarding the new contract agreement, yeah it's the right move instead of waiting for something uncertain, Joao Felix is a young player who still has great potential he just needs the right place to reach his goal. His recent performance in the Premier League has not been impressive only scored 4 goals in 16 matches however we know the conditions may not be suitable so €100 million is a fair price.

I read the news that Griezmann has taken over his jersey meaning that Joao Felix is really not needed in the squad, besides that the club president said they were ready to let Joao Felix go if there was a suitable offer. Reportedly Newcastle are also interested in signing him but it seems that PSG's chances are bigger.

De Gea was a very good goalkeeper for Manchester United, and it is just sad to know that the club forced him out and not him leaving on his own. With all hopes on Onana, I hope he does not become another problem for Manchester United. De Gea should go retire in peace and enjoy all the money that will be offered to him in the Saudi Professional league if that is where he will move to. He deserves it after a very successful career as Manchester United goalKeeper for many seasons.

I don't know what changed but Atletico Madrid have started to see Felix as a more crucial player than before now. And the asking price is quite high for any team to think twice before making the offer anyway - 100 million euros. Maybe Chelsea could have thought of turning this deal into a permanent one if the asking price didn't change this much.

PSG seem interested indeed but I don't know if they would rather spending this sum of money on Felix transfer. They were linked with Kane before but they don't make any offer for him while Bayern Munich do. I think it would be better for them to sign a striker like Kane rather than Felix.

Felix deal carries more risks than Kane I think because he doesn't have much thing to reassure PSG compared to Kane's being one of the best scorers now.

Joao Felix came to Chelsea as a one season loan player but unfortunately didn't perform as expected and thus  Chelsea didn't bother signing him on a permanent basis.
Felix has a lot to achieve as a  footballer and he must go back to Atletico Madrid and work on his  football development

Jao Felix has officially returned to Atletico Madrid after Chelsea did not want to buy him in this transfer window. I think he is one of the players who was kicked out after Pochettino was appointed as Chelsea coach. Now he will be part of the Atletico madrid team next season. So there has been speculation regarding his future should he have an offer coming to Atletico Madrid in this transfer window.

Now, looking at the statistics for last season with Chelsea, of course he failed to show the quality he has so there is no chance for him to be bought by Chelsea in this transfer window. I think Atletico madrid if they want to sell Felix for €100 million, it will definitely be difficult for the offers to come for him. Because other teams will think twice about submitting the bids that Atlético madrid want.

[makishart]

Well i think if a swap is gonna be made Chelsea needs to give Lukaku and give a fat fee because Lukaku aint that young anymore and aint that good. For Chelsea this would be a good transfer because they dont care much about Lukaku and will probobly send him away somewhere

That depends on lukaku itself caused by it needs also personal agreement from him. It's quite surprising for me to see that how lukaku was rejecting two offers instantly without even think about that.

It has been reported by sempre interm.

Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku has flatly rejected the possibility of moves to Al-Hilal or Spurs, and is only interested in going back to Inter Milan next season.

This according to Italian news outlet FCInterNews, who report that the Belgian’s will is entirely clear.

As of now, Lukaku remains a Chelsea player.

Blues boss Mauricio Pochettino even suggested that as things stand he expects the 30-year-old to be part of the Londoners’ preseason.

https://sempreinter.com/2023/07/08/romelu-lukaku-turns-down-al-hilal-tottenham-hotspur-only-wants-inter-milan/

Pochettino is not even happy with his attitude toward any offer that was coming for him. Even pochettino threatening lukaku about his attitude. He wants go back to the intermilan but he is having contract with chelsea.

So many clubs interesting in signing him as a new striker. Even al hilal and totenham have been trying to approach him too.

[Coyster]

Felix has a lot to achieve as a  footballer and he must go back to Atletico Madrid and work on his  football development

It would be really difficult for him to achieve that in Athletico Madrid and especially under the management of Diego Simeone. Joao Felix is a brilliant attacking footballer and i think most of his talent is lost in Athletico Madrid because of the way Diego Simeone plays his own style of football (which is somewhat defensive). If Joao Felix wants to develop, i'm afraid he might have to leave Athletico Madrid for another team. Felix still has quite a lot of time on his currenct contract with Athletico Madrid (which expires in 2027), thus the club is going to demand a hefty price in transfer fee, his only way out might be a season long loan deal.

[Velvet78]

I don't even know why Tottenham are interested in bringing Lukaku. There is no need for a striker in the team. There is a substitute player for Kane already like Richarlison. Lukaku wouldn't find much chance to play from Kane in the Premier League. He should join where he can have more time to play.

As I said before it would be for the benefit of Inter to look for other strikers and pay a little more money if necessary. But they are still decisive to bring him back from Chelsea. Then this is already what Lukaku wants so there shouldn't be big issues with completing this transfer for Inter.

Lukaku may have a chance to change totenham so much. Totenham has kane but this guy is not able giving trophy for the club. Totenham may think if it's time to sell kane and then move to the lukaku as a new striker.
It may become one of important step that gonna be taken by totenham but the problem is now lukaku was rejecting an offer from totenham.
Chelsea is very angry caused by lukaku has not been showing respect to the chelsea. Chelsea shall sell him as soon as possible.
Lukaku will not be useful for the club next season.

As I said before it would be for the benefit of Inter to look for other strikers and pay a little more money if necessary. But they are still decisive to bring him back from Chelsea. Then this is already what Lukaku wants so there shouldn't be big issues with completing this transfer for Inter.

Intermilan is not even making final decision to him yet the talk with chelsea is still ongoing at this moment. I hope that intermilan will take him out from the club as soon as possible.
It's a shame to see a professional football like him is putting his ego at the top of everything. Intermilan gonna be the only team that will able to buy him from chelsea.

[borovichok]

The inability of these recently signed players to measure up to desired outcomes is one of the most catastrophic events that might happen to them. Many players, including Timo Werner, Romelu Lukaku, Pierre Aubameyang, and Mykhailo Mudryk, have failed to match their bids. The Ukrainian failed to function up to expectations, and I believe he still needs time to establish himself in the team, according to Mauricio Pochettino, Chelsea's new manager. He needs more time to develop and become the greatest player he can be, and the new manager will meet with him before pre-season to discuss how to improve the Ukraine international's performance at Stamford Bridge next season.
