⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Polkeins]

Is it just me, or the current market value of so many players is just ridiculously too high due to clubs like PSG that have over diluted the market with money. I am not saying that Victor Osimhen is not a high quality player, but when we get to a situation where just one club is able to afford Victor Osimhen or Mbappe and the rest are just watching on, then we are in for the rough times.

No doubt one of the cause is inflation, that's why the price tend to increase and it show how the big teams are making huge amount of money. If Haaland, Mbappe, and Osimhen can be worth that much, I can't imagine how much the market value of Messi and Ronaldo where in their young ages, they are already get so many achievements. The trend will continue, maybe now we're think €100M is ridiculously high, but in the next 10 years, that amount might be normal.

Well, unfortunately, regular people's salaries don't always grow as fast as soccer players'. And unfortunately the quality of players who cost 70 million euros 10-15 years ago and now is also very different, you can remember Zidane, Kaka, Beckham and other players with high value in those years and now.

I think here not only inflation is to blame, but also a huge number of agents and other intermediaries who are interested in buying/selling players. Very often clubs seem to act illogically, when instead of increasing the salary of existing players, they prefer to buy for 40-70 million a player of the same class, and with the risk that he will not play.

If Mabbpe doesn't want to play in this team they should get him out of the team and take benefits from this player by selling Mbappe with a high price to other teams because none can force a player to stay in PSG.
Even by paying him more money still keeping Mbappe is PSG a wrong move because other players are going to be happy for paying too much attention to one player and this can make the team unbalanced.

Selling Mbappe at too high a price will also not make other teams more interested in bidding for him this summer. But if the price is in a very reasonable category, I think there will definitely be many other teams interested in offering Mbappe in the current transfer market. Moreover, he (Mbappe) is a very good forward line player to break his opponent's defense and even if Mbappe wants to move to another team instead of having to stay at PSG, he also cannot choose a random team if he still wants his career to get better.

Mbappe and PSG drama has been lingering and it may continue this way and by next season we might still see Mbappe in the PSG team. Mbappe is truly no longer interested in staying in PSG and also PSG is no longer comfortable with PSG presence.

What the two parties need is a landing conclusion and resolution but if PSG does not force it, that agreement will be delayed. Mbappe is so much self centred about his career and ambition than anyone's else.

West Ham are getting frustrated due to the delay in Declan Rice's transfer to Arsenal. Despite reaching an agreement eight days ago, the necessary documents have not been signed yet. This has left West Ham feeling impatient and wondering what could be causing this delay in completing the documents. Is there any possibilities of Arsenal walking away from the deal, somehow they might have realized they are overpaying for a player who only has one year left on his contract.
In situations like these, it would be good to stay patient and keep an eye on any updates regarding the transfer, while I am also growing frustrated everyday.

Why worry, he has already passed the medical examination, and the delay from the fact that Arsenal's lawyers are checking documents (so they say) is the usual procedure for this case. Arsenal are also interested in Rice and I think that if something changed, Arsenal would notify about it. West Ham are waiting for the money to come in because they need to pay for their transfers, in particular Zakaria from Juventus.

I also think there is no need to worry. Sometimes teams can be late for handing the necessary documents for the transfer before the end of a transfer window and it turns into a nightmare suddenly. However now there is no such situation. There is still more than one and a half month left for the end of this transfer window.


Joao Felix wants to leave Atletico Madrid according to reports. Aston Villa had some interest in the player but he didn't want them due to not being a part of the Champions League.

The most recent speculation about Felix is Benfica according to Transfermarkt. He actually wants PSG but I don't know if PSG are keen on bringing him.

It is very possible, I think, that a large salary offer is very difficult to refuse, especially since Jordan Henderson is no longer young, of course it is increasingly difficult for him to be able to compete in top European teams to be able to play regularly in competitive ribs.
And @FabrizioRomano's tweet is very believable.

Personally I want Jordan Henderson to leave Liverpool, I think he is not so influential anymore on the team, he is not young anymore and his performance has also decreased, the Liverpool team needs to regenerate for the future of the team.

No matter the offer, if a player doesn't want to joined, he's definitely going to make the decision. Al Etttifaq is capable of luring one of Anfield's finest midfielders this summer; they signed Steven Gerrard and are currently looking to add additional experienced players. Jordan Henderson is a Liverpool advantageous, but he is out of contract and looking to start a fresh career elsewhere. The Saudi Arabian league is ideal for the Englishman, but he must be consistent in dealing with bids. Perhaps Jordan Hernandez has yet to give sight of greenlight for the offer.

The thing is this, PSG have declared that Mbappe must either leave or renew his deal, while Mbappe maintains that he wants to see out the last year of his contract, before potentially leaving on a free. But it seems Real Madrid are awaiting the green light to agree a price, but will only do so if it suits them. Both Real Madrid and Mbappe would prefer for him to see out the remainder of his contract before heading to the Spain next summer. However, PSG’s stance is firm, and it means that he could be forced out of the door in the next few weeks.

Mbappe and PSG's problems are still the pros and cons between Mbappe who is a little tough and PSG's management are the same and both of them don't provide good solutions. on the other hand there are other problems that put pressure on Mbappe to leave PSG but if you look at it honestly PSG still need Mbappe even though it's only a few seasons.
It cannot be denied that Mbappe really wants to be able to compete in the Champions League final and get a trophy to improve his career in football and this is what makes Mbappe even more expensive. I'm not sure if it's really good news if Real Madrid are going to sign Mbappe but given the slightly hefty price tag I think it's worth it for Mbappe's talent.

Watching PSG and Mbappe play with such high stakes is fascinating. Mbappe, as you correctly pointed out, has his sights set on the pinnacle of the Champions League. But what I really want to know is if PSG is making serious preparations to give up its king. The club has spent a total of 155.50 million euros on new players in the past few months, suggesting that they are preparing for a period of transition. Does the team's recent move to add players like Ugarte, and Kang-in Lee signal an imminent exit for Mbappe? Then there's Neymar, whose price tag is falling.

Mbappe is a football star with plenty of pace and is always a terror for opponents. The French star can change the situation of a match at any time due to his pace and excellent finishing. It is natural that a striker like him will have a higher transfer price than other players. If he does switch teams this summer, it wouldn't be a surprise if a top transfer fee buys him. But what remains to be seen is his decision to switch clubs. Real Madrid are the frontrunners to sign Mbappe but what is Mbappe thinking about his club switch? He may join another club after his contract with PSG expires, but PSG may not release him as a free agent member. As I don't see any other possibility for him other than as a free agent member, he should move to a better club this season.

How successful will Kang in-Lee be? There are not many players in the world who can capture Mbappe's achievements. That's why Mbappe's absence is felt so much. In my opinion, instead of trying to keep him in the team, it would be the right move to let him play for one more year and accept that he will leave next year and get the maximum efficiency from him.

I think that regarding the transfer of Henderson to Al-Ettifaq will be close to an agreement soon, because I read the details of his wages at Al-Ettifaq per week will be up 4x from his current salary at Liverpool. Of course that is a very fantastic salary for a Henderson and he must immediately decide on his next career whether to stay at Liverpool or follow Steven Gerrard to Al-Ettifaq. Offers like this are still very intense for Saudi league teams to lure European star players and if not now, when else can they make so much money, especially since one of his colleagues, Roberto Firmino, has already joined Al-Ahli.

It's quite strange to compare kang lee in with mbappe. Kang played as midfielder while mbappe fully focusing in winger or central forward. It will be far better to make comparion between mbappe and osimhen rather than kang lee in. Kang's stat was not so impressive last season with mallorca. I don't even know whether this gonna be a good recruitment or not but kang's average midfielder. Nothing special from him.

PSG has been heavily linked to the osimhen as a replacement for mbappe. The fact that if osimhen has become the strongest candidate to replace mbappe. I don't see it if mbappe's exit gonna have correlation with kang le in.
It sounds non sense to use him as as someone to be blamed if mbappe gonna leave from PSG soon.

Mbappe tries to stay even longer in the club. He is trying to defend himself from being forced by PSG to leave from the club.

I think by now it is pretty obvious to anyone, that Mbappe does not want to play for Paris Saint Germain anymore. Therefore i would hope that the official of PSG are already planning for the time after Mbappe. When he is gone i think it is safe to say that the time of the huge names at PSG is over. Only Neymar is left then and it is not even sure yet if he will maybe also leave the club.
I also think that in retrospective the whole PSG strategy so far was a pretty big fail. They have spent ridiculously high amounts of money to buy the biggest names in the sports, no matter if it is good for the chemistry in the team or not. The most recent transfers make more sense in my opinion. Good players without huge names.

I think PSG are too selfish and possible because their selfishness means they will lose Mbappe next season without getting anything, even though if PSG want to let Mbappe go this season they can get fresh funds to be able to bring in other players.
Sooner or later, Mbappe will definitely leave PSG and start his career with his new team, and I'm sure Mbappe really wants to join the Real Madrid team because it is possible for Mbappe to achieve everything in his football career with the Real Madrid team.

I don't understand what you mean by selfish here because looking at the conditions now it can actually be said that it is also natural if PSG tries to do what they are doing now with the ultimatum they gave Mbappe because they also want something that can be taken because the choice if you don't want to be at PSG then selling is a possible option for profit.
There is nothing wrong with that and I don't think it's selfishness because they are also businessmen who want profit. It would be great if they can still keep Mbappe but when they can't then there is no choice but to sell at a high price.

Saudi Arabian clubs are in serious business to put their league on the map and also make it as competitive as the European leagues and with their financial strength it'll be possible to achieve their aim.
The arrival of global football superstars in the league will not just boost the quality of the but also help advertise the league to the rest of the world thereby making many countries of the world to always get involved with the happenings of the league. Fabinho is a great midfielder and will bring more qualities to the league of he's signed

• Talks between Chelsea and Brighton are progressing over move of Moises Caicedo to Chelsea ^[1]. Brighton wants more than 70m Euro now - Will Chelsea go to that length in order to sign Caicedo?
  

I think this transfer will be successful because Chelsea has no choice in this moment. They currently have 6 midfielders, consist of 2 active players and 4 substituted players. Usually Chelsea is using 4-3-3 strategy, so definitely they need to sign one more active midfielder.

Well they do need players at the moment and that too a strong player in midfield to get good hold on the possession and better link up. Caicedo is a very strong player and seems like an important signing that Chelsea desperately needs going into the next season. So I really agree with what you said there but price seems to be a bit high if you ask me.

Caicedo was good in Brighton for one season, his market value is €57 Million right now. But I feel skeptic for Chelsea when they want to sign a player from Brighton, previously Cucurella was played good in Brighton, but his performance suddenly drop when he joined Chelsea.

I don't think Cucurella signing could be judged as "flop" one. He did well in my opinion but Chelsea paid a lot in order to buy him. Same is now with Caicedo. 70m Euro is a lot but if Caicedo shows some exceptional form then they have made a really good signing but right now Chelsea are at that point where they have to take every step right one otherwise it will become a deep mess later on.

The aggressiveness of the Saudi Arabia Club cannot be stopped, now they are doing it blindly. The reason is, the moment they have and the financial support that supports it makes the Saudi Arabian club like a competitor to other top European clubs. Where when entering the automatic transfer market no one doubts the costs incurred. To elevate Saudi Arabian football to the world I think everything has been achieved in terms of getting the attention of many people. For example, more than 30 countries around the world have broadcast the Saudi Arabian League. In terms of broadcasting licenses, the benefits are quite large, especially now that corporate sponsors are flocking to Arab clubs. It all shows how fast their growth is, even if it's not even 1 decade.

The country's seriousness in building their SPL Domestic League is a genius step, we all definitely agree that investment in football provides enormous benefits and has a very good impact on the country's image on the international stage. In addition to benefits for the Club, the State can also receive benefits in other forms such as campaigning for Culture, building good relations with other countries and of course income through visitor visas.

Fifa's problem has banned Al Nassr from registering players next season due to their mistake in not paying bonuses to EPL club Liecester City. I don't think this is a serious problem for Al Nassr considering that their finances are quite stable and they will definitely be able to pay for it. I agree with you that one day the SPL will compete with other top leagues, nothing is impossible in football.
