⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[kawetsriyanto]

Inter continue to be in search of a striker now. They aren't going for Lukaku anymore as you know. I have read that they are after Morata or Balogun signings. Morata is already willing to leave Atletico Madrid and join an Italian team again. He is 30 years old with way bigger experience than Balogun technically. But when it comes to scoring skills I don't side with Morata too much. Because he isn't the kind of a striker that scores so many goals in a season. He is doing better with a striker beside him as well.

In terms of this situation he can fit Inter's formation nicely. But Balogun has a really bright future on one hand. He was impressive in the Ligue 1 last season with 21 goals. I guess Arsenal would only loan him to them rather than a permanent deal for now. I wonder which side Inter will choose.

I don't know why Inter Milan prefer to choose Morata or Balogun. In my opinion, Lukaku is much better and more productive than Morata or Balogun. Lukaku already played in Inter Milan for a few years, he doesn't need to adapt with Inter squad anymore. Lukaku also proved that he is a good striker and can be a machine goal for Inter Milan, he already scored some goals since he played in Inter Milan. Actually, it is a bit confusing why Inter Milan doesn't want to sign Lukaku.

Anyway, I am not familiar with Balogun. Although he can score 21 goals in Ligue 1, I am not sure he will easily score many goals in Serie A. The level of Ligue 1 and Serie A is different, he also needs to adapt with Inter play of style.

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.

When it comes to being in a crisis situation I don't think Real Madrid are in crisis right now for example. As far as I know they don't have any issues with FFP rules either now unlike Barcelona. They must have enough funds to pay PSG's asking price for Mbappe and meet his contract demands both now. They just don't look like they intend to make this happen for now.

But for Barcelona the situation is really complicated. They have increased their revenue by signing big sponsorship deals though. But their finances are still not in a very impressive condition. Even if it was the FFP rules I mentioned are still an obstacle for them to spend high sum of money for any transfer this summer.

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.

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 don't think there's any football faithful anywhere in the world that'll doubt the great abilities of IIkay Gundogan. The German is simply a midfield genius and would surely flourish at Barcelona because of the fact that his current club plays almost the same style of football like his former.
That being said, I think where I have some doubt in your view is where you said he'll help Barcelona retain the Spanish La Liga title. Real Madrid with there recent signings is unarguably the strongest La Liga club at the moment and the fact that they didn't win either of the league or an European trophy last season should be a major concern for Barcelona because Madrid would surely want to make up for their last season shortcomings

I really applaud this move by Barcelona, because Alemán is a very, very good player in the midfield and when there is a good midfield in every team, things go well most of the time, for that reason I applaud Barcelona , but I also support what you say regarding Madrid, they are making a series of very good signings, they are connected to success, also with what they have gone through in all this time last season, they learned that they need to win no matter what, for For this reason I think they have done very well in this transfer window, of course the whole world is talking about Mbappé, but I think that still many have not been clear about how things are here in Madrid and what they are after.

Jude Bellingham is well and truly in Real Madrid. A month after confirming his move to the Santiago Bernabeu, the young midfielder is now part of Los Blancos camp that is looking to get the season started on the right note.

A week into training, Bellingham has already left many surprised in the Real Madrid camp with his attitude and mentality, reports AS.

Unlike any other player from the United Kingdom who has set foot in Madrid, Bellingham has shown a deep interest in learning the Spanish culture and the language. More importantly, he has gotten close with some of his new teammates.

Bellingham is particularly close with fellow new signings Arda Guler and Fran Garcia. He also shares a good rapport with some of the Spaniards, including Brahim Diaz. He referred to the former Man City starlet as his ‘little brother’ in one of his Instagram stories.

The Englishman is also close with Lucas Vazquez and Dani Ceballos. He has shown excellent rapport with these two Real Madrid stars and even admitted that the former is helping him learn Spanish.

Well, here it is shown how Madrid does things, there is no doubt about it , without a doubt this is the reason why Barcelona will never have peace of mind in a league or any type of Competition , because Madrid is there and they compete at all levels.

In fact, some teams know that the rivalry between Barcelona and Madrid is unique, that in La Lia when talking about fútbol these two teams appear as protagonists , for this reason I think that things can be as they are painted, but there are Still let us be surprised

If there's anything about crises between the two teams then it'll surely be Barcelona who's currently having financial crises. However Barcelona still remain as one of the best teams in the league despite their inability to sign as many players as they'll wish to.
Barcelona won the league last season even when it was visible that Real Madrid had better squad which will surely make Madrid to try make up for their shortcomings when the new season kickoff.

Gundogan has a lot of experience under his belt and aside the fact that he along with his former teammates at Manchester City won the English Premier League as well as the Champions league, he’s a player that any club would want to have in their squad.
I believe he could be really instrumental in helping Barcelona retain the La Liga title. Obviously, they’re going to face a lot of competition from other clubs. Real Madrid, who is their biggest threat in my opinion and a strong contender for the title, with their recent signings should really be a concern to Barcelona if they want to retain the title.

There was some news about Bernardo Silva joining PSG in the next season and since PSG lost some players and they need to fill the spots, they were thinking about Bernardo Silva.
But Bernardo Silva didn't accept the good offer from PSG and he didn't accept the offer from Macnshter City to extend his contract too.
He even got an offer from Al Hilal but it seems Bernardo Silva wants to join Barcelona and Xavi in the next season.

Real Madrid lacks a solid attacker, that could replace Benzema and score goals. In the previous season, Real Madrid suffered a lot from Benzema injuries for exemple and they struggled to score in many occasions. Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo did a good job but they couldn't hide that missing spot.
I would add that Real Madrid don't have enough attackers, they don't have right now any substitutes for their wingers after the departure of Asencio and Hazard. The worst part is not seeing enough rumours at least about recruiting new players in these positions apart from Mbappe. Even Harry Kane want to join Bayern Munich..

He is still waiting for barcelona. It's quite clear to see that caused by he was not even saying yes to the other club's offer for him. The problem is now barcelona has no money to get him. Barcelona needs to sell the players first. The club has gotten gundogan but barcelona is facing financial problem. De jong will be sacrificed by barcelona to get silva from manchester city. Barcelona are unable to sell the players like ferran torres or even ansu fati caused by they don't wanna be sold by barcelona.

He was interesting to join in barcelona and play together with gundogan under xavi. Any rumors that linked him to the other club than barcelona totally fake rumors. Let barcelona to sell some of its players first before the club tries to buy silva from manchester city.
Pep can easily find his replacement. That's why im thinking if losing silva or gundogan was nothing. Manchester city is having ability to make it even better than before.

The club can do some regenerations.

It would not be a bad thing if he accepted PSG's offer and joined them, but Ligue 1 is no longer regarded as one of the top leagues in the world among European countries. Barcelona might be his next destination after declining an offer from PSG and failing to prolong his contract with Manchester City. I'm not sure how Pep will utilise him next season; if he doesn't use him as much as he did last season, he might lose a lot of form on the bench and won't be regarded much by the next season when he wants to join them once his contract with Manchester City expires.

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.

No definitive news on selling Tominay from Manchester United. He had success with Scotland, but not much with Manchester United last season. I think that all of rumors that said MU gonna sell him in summer was just fake news. No team who was interesting in signing him at this moment.
I remember tominay being linked to the EPL club but there's no further development already happened with him. It's likely manchester united tries to defend him from being moved to the another club.
Tominay's performance was not so good like when he was playing in 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.

Maguire lost his captain's band. That's a signal if MU doesn't need a captain like him. Meguire must be leaving from manchester united as soon as possible. Westham is interesting in signing him but the club wants only to sign him once united will able to decrease his value.
Meguire's market value was always decreasing since we have known him as a player who made so many blunders in manchester united. He is such a clown in the club. Meguire deserves no place in the main squad. He shall leave from the club if he wanna gets regular time to play a main player in the club.
Manchester united shall sell him.

[Leviathan.007]

Ko Itakura was the next target for Al Hilal and they wanted to hire this player for a huge amount of money but he didn't accept this offer, Also Napoli wanted to hire Ko Itakura to replace Kim Min-Jae in this team and he didn't accept this offer too.
This 26y old defender joined Mönchengladbach in the last season from Manchester City for 5m and he played 25 games for his team in this season.
Rejecting the offer from Al Hilal shows us he didn't pay attention to more money he can get.

Olympique Marseille and Pierre Emerick Aubameyang have reached agreement on three year contract — until 2026 🔵

Aubameyang, open to join OM — that’s why Marseille are optimistic, confident to get it done.

Negotiations with Chelsea, not expected to be complicated.

Aubameyang has been one of the unlucky professional footballer i have seen played in recent times, he was doing very well at Barcelona when he left Arsenal and I don't understand his move coming back to the premier league. He was a shadow of himself and has had many badluck since coming back to the premier league to join Chelsea. He was removed from the champions league squad after been initially included and that goes to show how unlucky he has been. I wish him to leave the club as the club has given him a go ahead to find his next club. I always thought he'll be heading to Saudi Arabia but seems he still wants to play in Europe.

I hope he signs with Olympique Marseille and  get playing again as he was at  Borussia Dortmund and Arsenal. Players need to be mindful the type of moves they make so it doesn't destroy their career. If only he was in good terms with Arteta, he won't have been moving round clubs. He might had established himself as an Arsenal and premier league legend. I wish him luck anywhere he goes to continue playing his football and hoping he pick up form because he hasn't been getting lucky lately. If Europe doesn't work for him, I'll suggest he join others in joining the Saudis Professional League and go make some money for his retirement from football.

Oh, how cruel! Don't you really think that Maguire deserves a second chance and that it's worth giving this chance anyway. In my opinion, it's quite enough that the player has already been stripped of the captain's armband and I don't think it's worth finishing him off and throwing him out of the club now. This can destroy a player's self-confidence and completely destroy his playing career. Still, Maguire played quite well in the England national team and maybe the whole problem is in the Ten Hag game model and where he sees the player.

Chelsea must agree with Olympique Marseille as long as they want to pay the transfer fees at a decent price. Aubameyang only spends most time on the bench, Chelsea must expect him to leave because he is not a main player. If Aubameyang leaves, Chelsea can reduce the burden of the player's salary a little. Anyway, Aubameyang's market value is about €4m, Chelsea only expect €6m for the transfer fees. I think Marseille has no problem with that price, it is rather cheap for a good striker like Aubameyang.

https://www.goal.com/en/news/chelsea-demanding-paltry-fee-pierre-emerick-aubameyang-marseille/blt8f340ba889e35a26

Let's hope he will have a better luck if he moves to Marseille. Ligue 1 can offer him a better career, it is not as competitive as EPL. Aubameyang possibly can shine again if he gets enough chance to play. Since Marseille has no strong striker, I believe Aubameyang will be the main CF and play regularly again.

I'm impressed with the red devils, they're on the right track to correcting fixed problems. Harry Maguire was given more than a second chance, but he continued to screw things up for the team, committing blunders that led to goals. Manchester United are attempting to enhance their performance next season, particularly in the UEFA Champions League, consequently there is no place for skeptical performance from their players, so Harry Maguire's inferiority from the position of Captaincy is understandable. Erik Ten Hag is aware of the qualities he demands in a leader, and regrettably, Harry Maguire lacks these qualities.

Harry Maguire went from confident defender for club to a very undependable defender for Manchester United. He was very terrible that he made the former goalkeeper for Manchester United that has just left, look bad in some games. The new season demands a stronger team from every team and that is what every coach is trying to do. Harry Maguire is a weak link for Manchester United and just has to leave the club or get used to becoming a regular substitute in almost every game. Lucky for Harry Maguire that his bad Manchester United record has not affected his international career.

[Strongkored]

There was some news about Bernardo Silva joining PSG in the next season and since PSG lost some players and they need to fill the spots, they were thinking about Bernardo Silva.
But Bernardo Silva didn't accept the good offer from PSG and he didn't accept the offer from Macnshter City to extend his contract too.
He even got an offer from Al Hilal but it seems Bernardo Silva wants to join Barcelona and Xavi in the next season.

Bernardo Silva's contract at Manchester City will expire in 2025 so there are still about two seasons for him to wait so he can get an offer from Barcelona so there is no need for him to accept offers from PSG or from Arab clubs that promise big fees, of course not without reason for he hopes to play at Barcelona more because the club is one of the target clubs for players who want to get a lot of achievements, but from the news circulating, Manchester City doesn't like the player's decision not to extend his contract at the club, but hopefully, he really rejects the offer from Al Hilal because his international career will be very much at stake in the league, staying at Manchester City while waiting for an offer from Barcelona or accepting an offer from PSG would be better than going to the Saudi Pro League because playing in the European league will still be the best choice for a player like him whose age is still possible to play full time in every match.

Harry Maguire performance is good when he play for England, if his performance is bad, Gareth Southgate can easily replace him with another player because England never lack of good players. There's no reason for Southgate to kick Maguire from England's squad.

However what we have seen before, Maguire was making so many mistakes when the goalkeeper is De Gea. Since De Gea already leave Manchester United and high likely Onana will replace him, we need to see if Maguire will still bad play or not.

[CryptocurencyKing]

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.

Manchester United have been looking for a new No.1 since deciding not to extend David de Gea’s career. De Gea left as a free agent at the end of June after Eric ten Hag insisted he wanted a goalkeeper who is better with the ball at his feet. I think that is one of the strongest areas in Onana’s game having played under Ten Hag at Ajax before joining Inter last summer. So I expect a change in the team when the season starts, Manchester United will be better now on with his arrival and with more signings to come.

If there's anything about crises between the two teams then it'll surely be Barcelona who's currently having financial crises. However Barcelona still remain as one of the best teams in the league despite their inability to sign as many players as they'll wish to.
Barcelona won the league last season even when it was visible that Real Madrid had better squad which will surely make Madrid to try make up for their shortcomings when the new season kickoff.

Well Real Madrid also has a lot of debts as almost every Club in the spanish league but i guess for most clubs it is already a normal thing now to have huge debts, which is a very bad thing of course and i hope this changes again in the future but i doubt it.
Even among those spanish clubs FC Barcelona still stands out though because they have far more than 1 billion € of debts and really need to be careful to keep the club running and to not go bankrupt. I hope they have learnt from their mistake and begin to reduce their debts.
