⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[un_rank]

The latest news circulating says that Harry Maguire will not be chosen as the captain of the Red Devils starting next season and that further strengthens his reason for leaving Old Trafford.

This is no longer a rumor the player himself has confirmed it through a Twitter post in the late hours of yesterday;

After discussions with the manager today he has informed me he is changing captain. He outlined his reasons to me and whilst I’m personally extremely disappointed, I will continue to give my all every time I wear the shirt.

So I wanted to say a massive thank you to the Manchester United fans for all their brilliant support whilst I’ve been wearing the armband.

Since the day I took on the role, three and half years ago, it’s been a huge privilege to lead Manchester United and one of the proudest moments of my career to date. It’s one of the greatest honours in club football. I’ve done everything I possibly could to help United be successful - on and off the field.

I will always be grateful to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for first giving me the responsibility and I wish whoever now takes it on every success and they will have my full support.

Harry

There has always been doubt about his place in the United lineup next season and I foresee a transfer out of the club over the next few weeks. Hopefully it does not become a protracted transfer liek the David DeGea saga.
The Kylian Mbappe and bernado SIlva situation are the two most interesting ones today. Both players seem interested in life away from their current clubs and the rumors have stated in previous transfer windows. It will be key to see if both end up being rivals in Laliga, joining Real Madrid and Barcelona respectively.

Two of the latest rumors have come from England, namely Harry Maguire and Scott McTominay, who are West Ham's targets in the summer. Actually, rumors regarding these two players who will be sold by Manchester United have been around for a few weeks ago, but now we can see the rumors are getting louder. The latest news circulating says that Harry Maguire will not be chosen as the captain of the Red Devils starting next season and that further strengthens his reason for leaving Old Trafford. Whereas McTominay maybe because he often experiences inconsistencies in every game, maybe that's the reason Erik ten hag doesn't really like the way he works and Manchester United has him on the list of players to be sold in this transfer market. With the sales of these two players, it is certain that Manchester United will have more funds to be able to target their next striker.

Another ridiculous rumor from transfermarkt.com, there's no way Manchester United want to let McTominay to leave especially just for €25 Million. He was played very good for Scotland, I think his market value will increase to €40 Million if he can play for Manchester United as good as when he play for Scotland.

Maguire is deserved to leave, but Manchester United keep demand big amount of money, this make Maguire will stay in Manchester United until his contract expire or his market value decline a lot.

The deal is for 50m euros transfer fee and 4m euros bonuses to be paid later on. The thing I wonder now is how he will perform at Manchester United from now on. Because his performance so far at Inter has been really impressive. If I'm not wrong he was the goalkeeper with most number of saves in the Champions League last season. This must be making the fans excited as well.

You will not able to see how good or bad onana's performance till he will be starting his debut as united's keeper. As so many people predicted before if intermilan gonna let him onana goes to the manchester united as long as MU paid even closer to the €55 millions.

Finally, ten hag has gotten what he wanted by buying onana from intermilan. There is another job for manchester united to sell megurie and used the money raised by him to buy hojlund.
MU is running out of money to buy the new player right now while ten hag has not found the best solution for the forward's position. MU doesn't have striker on its line up.

It's time for ten hag raising money through selling some useless players like meguire. It's gonna be the right decision to exchange meguire for hojlund. MU really needs a striker now.

The point is Ten Hag has got the players he wants, in order to smooth out the changes he wants with his squad.
Onana, will be part of the Ten Hag project in the next season. his job, not just to save Manchester United's goal. but like today's modern goalkeepers, participating in the build-up builds an attack starting from him. a system like this, which was what the Ten Hag wanted. that's why, United are determined to bring in this goalkeeper from Inter Milan. Unfortunately, the bandrol is quite expensive. and Ten Hag is well aware, the current spending budget for players has run out. however, there are several players who are still his target in this summer's transfer market window.

I'm not sure, by the way, if United can sign Hojlund from Atalanta. even if so, it means United will have to dig into the pockets by selling a few other players in this window. the question is whether the player's selling price will meet the price tag to bring in Hojlund. plus, other rumors report that Ten Hag also wants Sofyan Amrabat from Fiorentina.
This player is also one of Ten Hag's targets, because United didn't have to spend a lot of money to bring him in. well, the problem is whether United will get big funds from the sale of its players. it's interesting, so let's wait.

Barcelona might offer Frenkie de Jong in a swap deal with Bernardo Silva. Technically they have nearly the same amount of market values so this must be the reason why Barcelona want to try their luck in this. However these players don't even play exactly in the same position. Frenkie de Jong is more like a central midfielder and he helps defense mostly as well.

But on the other hand Bernardo Silva is more like an attacking midfielder and he can play as right winger at the same time. I wouldn't expect Manchester City to be okay about losing one of their best attacking players in this way. They would rather expect an only money deal for Silva to think about it. But Barcelona's can't make such signing right now due to financial situations in the La Liga as far as I know.

I do agree that it would be better for them, I mean De Jong to City, not Silva to Barcelona. That would not really help Barcelona all that much for some reason they are willing to do that, maybe getting another City midfield to help with Ilkay so that they could do better would be a good idea for them.

I do not know the latest situation with their finances but the reality is that we are going to see them not be that great. On the other hand, if we see De Jong at City, he would be a younger version and he would play a lot better, he doesn't have to play at Silva position because City could put Kovacic where Silva played and De Jong where Ilkay played, that way they would have a younger squad that keeps it's talent level similar while getting younger.

Unfortunately, the bandrol is quite expensive. and Ten Hag is well aware, the current spending budget for players has run out. however, there are several players who are still his target in this summer's transfer market window.

If you look at Man United's current budget, it's clear they don't have the opportunity to buy additional players except for selling players. Since Erik Ten Hag plans to sell Hary Maguire, maybe at least there will be additional funds that can be used as support. There are currently rumors that Tottenham are interested in signing Maguire. Especially when the status of Man United's captain's armband was revoked by Erik Ten Hag. I quite appreciate the firmness that he did where usually many English clubs always prioritize England national team players even though their performance is poor. This firmness is only Erik Ten Hag who dares to do that because if you look at the previous Man United coach Hary Maguire it was hard to touch.

Ilkay Gundogan signed an official contract with Barcelona at the ceremony attended by Joan Laporta today. He built a good career at Manchester City. I am sure he will always be remembered with good memories there. He said that he is now in Barcelona to fulfill his childhood dream. I hope he builds a successful career in Barcelona and continues to be well remembered years later. He is preparing for a new challenge in a new league at the age of 32. I think he needs some luck too. I hope everything goes well for him.

I wonder if this is true about the "childhood dream"? If so, then Barcelona are making very cool money on their brand - both Gundogan and Lewandowski moved to Barcelona from top clubs, and at a time when Barcelona is in an obvious crisis. I wonder how long this "reserve" of the image will last. In any case, Barcelona should try not to fall into the Europa League for the third year in a row

Actually I believe Bernardo Silva wouldn't have adaptation problems at Barcelona. Because the La Liga is also one of the biggest leagues and especially Barcelona's game plan has similarities to Manchester City's. This can make things easier for him to show his usual performance. But the biggest problem at this point is related to Manchester City. I don't think Manchester City are keen on letting him go this summer. PSG are also reported to be one of the teams interested in him.

PSG can make a way better offer than Barcelona now that's for certain. But it must be such a lucrative offer that it should be convincing for Manchester City.

I wonder if money is going to be more important for Manchester City right now instead of a good player. If Manchester City thinks that they do not need money instead of a player that is already used to playing in the squad, they are obviously not going to let Bernardo Silva go. At the same time, they might also think that De Jong for Bernardo Silva is actually going to be a good idea, and in that case, they will ask for money, and De Jong from Barcelona.

But I don’t think Barcelona can actually afford it. At the same time, PSG will be able to give the player a far better deal compared to Barcelona as you said. So I don’t see this deal working out in favor of Barcelona, to be honest.

Dead sure of IIkay Gundogan doing a great job for Barcelona, There's no much difference from what they both play, the difference is that Manchester City does the same thing at a much higher level. With is high level of technicality and swiftness, he's in the perfect league.

Gundogan will also help Barcelona defend the Spanish League once again. I'm rooting for Barcelona to successfully win the league.
Same goes for Bernado Silva, I would also love to see him leave Manchester City for Barcelona but, I'm not certain he wants to leave Manchester City.

I think that the Saudi Professional League could sustain their model, which is purely based on financials, for longer than the MLS. But the MLS has other advantages as I would assume that a lot of European players feel more comfortable playing there. But money is the ultimate means here. We could see that when some players went to China and they certainly didn't do that because they wanted to develop as players.

Money talks. Money is the ultimate motivator. And after all, football players are “professional” players. So they will follow the money. Of course, every footballer is not going to do that but I am talking about the general footballers. When we talk about certain things we have to talk about it on generalization. So of course, I believe the future is a lot brighter for the Saudi league compared to MLS.

The big question is for how long will Saudi Arabia keep pumping the money into the league? Until they had the World Cup in 2030? Or even longer?

That is actually a good question. Of course the longer they are going to pump money in the Saudi league, the better the league is going to become and the revenue is also going to be better. Better money equals better outcomes in general. But they will have to be careful because if they do not bring in younger players, it is not going to be interesting after a while. I mean nobody wants to see a bunch of 40-year-old has-beens playing football.

[Polkeins]

Lukaku seems to be moving to Juventus almost definitively. He turned down Milan because of their poor performance in the Champions League when he was left out of the Manchester City game. In general, he is a strange guy, after all, given the fact that his career is not in the best condition could go to the Saudi league and continue his career in peace, because while scoring Lukaku has not yet learned and just in the Saudi league could show his potential.

Lukaku keeps stand on his decision for not to join in the arabian club. Lukaku needs to train even harder to make sure he will be able to solve all of his problems. Lukaku can't evne shot the ball with 1 touch. He needs to hold the ball for a few seconds before he will able to make a single shoot. Im thinking about that's gonna be the best decision of lukaku goes to the juventus. Juventus needs of new striker right now.
Lukaku gonna be very good choice for juventus. He will become an opponent from intermilan next season. Football is really dynamic.

On the one hand Lukaku is good for trying to stay at top clubs, but he has already changed a lot of clubs and it is unclear how he will be received at Juventus and whether his transfer will take place at all. It is reported that Juventus will only be able to buy Lukaku if they sell Vlahovic otherwise the deal is impossible. So Lukaku is now at great risk if he rejects offers from Saudi clubs, because now Chelsea do not need him, and the management of Inter and Inzaghi may take offense because of his position on the transition to Juventus.

Since Arteta started his job at Arsenal in 2019 this is how much money Arsenal have spent until now. They are even in the lead in Europe with the highest amount. These transfers have made them have the most expensive squad in the English Premier League also now. They are even ahead of Manchester City even though Manchester City have very rich owners.

But having the highest valued squad isn't enough to achieve big successes of course. Arsenal are still trailing far behind Manchester City about that. At this point I think Arsenal need to make some experienced player signings on one hand also. Because there is likely to be a leadership problem in the team soon.

If Tuchel feel Sadio Mane is not his plan for next season he should let him go afterall his brief stint at Bayern Munich had not been productive and had a mediocre performance last season probably might be due to the injury he sustained before the World Cup,Sadio Mane had already played his best football while at Liverpool and won UCL trophy, EPL trophy etc with the club , now that Al-Nasri is offering a lucrative offer he should accept it and move on, Saudi Arabian league has now signed a good numbers of aging European players at least their league would also be competitive apart from the juicy weekly wages paid which had been attracting European players to the league.

Mane failed to live up to expectations
Tuchel admitted he was disappointed
The striker is on the club's sale list

i keep reading rumors about Tuchel's dissatisfaction with Sadio Mane and if these rumors continue to blow then Sadio Mane will be released to another team, the news also states that Al-Ettifaq is very interested in buying Mane at a fairly high price, in my opinion if Mane moves to the arab league is only for money then his career in football will be dim and there will be no team from the european league who will be interested in him, so far the teams in the arab league only attract old star players who only chase money and mane is still young enough to playing in the European league.

In fact, this is indeed very far from Tuchel's dream when Sadio Mane has not had a good performance since joining Bayern Munich.
But if I were Sadio Mane, it would be better to accept an offer from a Saudi Arabian league club because a very big offer could make a better future with his family, considering that he is already 31 years old and is almost approaching retirement.
If you only expect another club from the European league to sign him I think it will be difficult or maybe just for a low price.

Well, I actually had no idea about this. I did know that Arsenal does spend money. But I didn't know that Arsenal spent money like this, to be honest. I also believe that if this was any other club Arsenal was going to have a big problem with the management. Because spending so much money and not having the results is always a big problem for any club in my opinion.

But I have to say hats off to the fans of Arsenal for being so patient with the manager. We have seen a lot of clubs changing the authority because they did not think that the manager was bringing in good results for them. We have seen Manchester United and Chelsea change their manager a lot in recent times.

Anyway, I do believe that Arsenal will have to bring in results quickly. Because otherwise this certainly is going to be a problem for the coach sooner or later.

I hope he builds a successful career in Barcelona and continues to be well remembered years later. He is preparing for a new challenge in a new league at the age of 32. I think he needs some luck too. I hope everything goes well for him.

At the age of 32, he is still looking to accomplish a childhood dream by joining a new club. The revelation came as a surprise, but for an athlete of his age still wanting to accomplish his childhood dream is admirable, and he's working hard to make it happen with Barcelona, one of Europe's greatest clubs. Ilkay Gundogan had a good career with Manchester City, where he left after winning the treble and serving as captain at the time.

One can only imagine what dreams he couldn't realise at Manchester City but hopes to realise at Barcelona. This is a new challenge for him, and I wasn't expecting much given his age, but I'm now more confident in him that he’s going to the great at Barcelona than he did at Manchester City.

[Coyster]

Gundogan will also help Barcelona defend the Spanish League once again. I'm rooting for Barcelona to successfully win the league.
Same goes for Bernado Silva, I would also love to see him leave Manchester City for Barcelona but, I'm not certain he wants to leave Manchester City.

Barcelona did a great job convincing Gundogan to join them. I mean, City just won the treble and Gundogan played a very important role in that, if he had stayed he would definitely be an important player in City for at least another 2 years or more, but he chose a new challenge in Spain and Barcelona and i wish him all the best in his new adventure.

Bernado Silva's future is uncertain for now, we are not sure if he is leaving or staying at the Etihad, Barcelona cannot sign him because of FFP regulation, PSG is also another team that seems interested but they have not sent any official bid to City.

At this point I think Arsenal need to make some experienced player signings on one hand also. Because there is likely to be a leadership problem in the team soon.

Arteta has been doing his job perfectly well since he took over at Arsenal and I don't think there is going to be any crisis issues because the entire board is behind him and with the way he has already taken the squad far,they believe what ever he is doing now is the best.Before when Arsene Wenger was managing Arsenal,People were complaining about how Arsenal were not always capable of competing with big teams in Spending money on quality players during transfer window, but now that Mikel Arteta is here and he has been doing exactly the wish of the fans,some persons are now complaining about the way the club spends money,sometimes I wonder what the problem of human being really is.
Nevertheless,we have seen Arteta as the man who can take us to the promise land,and we are following him.

Is there any La Liga club not in crisis right now? The media have just portrayed Barcelona's problem to look much worst because it gives them more view.
That aside, Barcelona have always been a big club with many football legends. It's hard to talk about football without mentioning something directly or indirectly related to Barcelona. They're a greta club.
It may not be a childhood dream of these guys to play for Barça, but along the line, they liked the club. Lewandoski and Gundugan did everything they could to play for Barcelona. It was not about the money obviously.
It's a good thing this new management took over Barcelona when they don't have money, because if Barcelona had money they would have been able to convince every top player to come pley for them.
Even if Barcelona goes to Eroupa for a third consecutive season, they would still be able to bring top players to their club.

The only club on this table that I don't really see that they are living upto expectations compared to the money spent on players so far is Chelsea,they have spent a lot on players recently but it actually seems something is wrong with the team,they have been moving from grace to grass every year,and despite all their buys,they still fall below Europa league.Well,they have a new coach who has coached in the premier league before,and he is currently recruiting young boys  just as Arteta did in his first two seasons at Arsenal,but I doubt if that kind of tactics is going to work at Chelsea because we all know that Chelsea board cannot be patient with him when they will start loosing,because definitely,their first three games,they might loose,so it would require patience from their board for his tactics and his process to work at a team like Chelsea.

Kalvin Phillips seems to be a target for Liverpool now. The reason why is of course Fabinho's departure for a Saudi team soon. Liverpool will need to find a replacement for him to the defensive midfield position. Kalvin Phillips is a player who can even play in multiple positions such as central midfield and centre-back as well. But he wouldn't effective as a centre-back as much as playing as midfielder of course.

His market value is 32 million euros now. It doesn't seem like Liverpool would have to spend too much money on this transfer. Manchester City didn't give him much playing time in the previous season either. Therefore they might be willing to have an agreement with Liverpool.

I think this is a pretty smart transfer for Liverpool to bring Kalvin Phillips to Anfield, because they are currently also in the stage of regenerating their midfield. With Fabinho moving ever closer to the Saudi league team, so too will captain Jordan Henderson who will also follow Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard, leaving an empty spot that must be filled soon.

Kalvin Phillips is now at a ripe age and this is a golden opportunity for him to continue his career in one of the best EPL teams. We know very well that Pep Guardiola rarely plays Kalvin Phillips and since being brought in from Leeds last year, his market value has also decreased. I think Liverpool will try to get a fee below market value and Manchester City might not mind that.

Here's what I think, and I'm not holding back. Sure, Kalvin Phillips could be a decent addition to Liverpool. He's in the prime of his career, and we all know he's not getting much field time under Pep Guardiola. But let's pause for a moment. If Guardiola, who is known for his knack for identifying and honing talent, isn't giving Phillips much of a chance, does it not raise some red flags?

Honestly, I wouldn't place my bets on Phillips just yet. I don't see him as a star player, but rather, an average one. Liverpool is still Liverpool, and they need more than an average player to keep up the pace
