⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[arallmuus]

Cuadrado is now officially an Inter player.
Something that seemed impossible given his previous 8 years spent with Juventus.

Nowadays we rarely see a player continue to play for the same club at an older age then retired on that particular club unless he is considered as a top star on the club though. I totally understand that Juventus might not really want him anymore considering that he is a 35 years old player that is easily replacable but kinda shocking that Inter Milan decided to sign him

[snipie]

I think Barcelona won't be interested in him based on their financial problems. And in general, based on the financial problems of the Catalans we can say that for another 10 years they will have little interest in expensive players and stars. So there are two options left, either France or Saudi Arabia. Depends what he wants, money or continuation of a good career

Since Bernardo Silva contract ends in 2025, then Manchester City will definitely ask for money to sell him and this automatically turn down any hope for him to join broken Barcelona squad unless there was an exchange of players.
In the other hand Manchester City seemed not interested in selling the player. PSG for example, offered them an exchange of 3 players for him! These players are Marco Verratti, Presnel Kimpembe and Gianluigi Donnarumma!  I could understand the first two wants to quit PSG but Donnarumma?
Manchester City have also rejected €70m offer for Bernardo Silva from PSG. Guardiola isn't ok for these deals apparently to avoid affecting much the team or Manchester City are expecting more money in order to let him go..

[Captain Corporate]

I would guess that it depends on the deal, sure he may reject money, but if he thinks he can make it work with another player that is younger then he may end up accepting that as well. Silva may not be "fast" but he is quick, and he plays with the ball very well without losing it all that frequently, which helps them establish an offense very easily, put most of their players on the opponent side while Silva waits for everyone to get into position. De Jong for example was offered as far as I know, and that would not be the same thing. But someone offers like some money and a younger version of Silva, then maybe he may consider it because every team needs to constantly rebuild.

There is no longer any loyalty in football these days; there have been so many player transfers between Juventus, Inter Milan, and AC Milan in the last three seasons now, which were not common when these clubs were dead end rivals, but now I don't see the rivalry. Lukaku is about to join Juventus from Inter Milan, this things are insane right now.

Its all about money now. No body even cares about the feelings of the fans they just care about the money. This is what is wrong with modern football. No body has the respect for the clubs and fans anymore. In my country if you go to a biggest rival that is like one of the biggest betrayles.

That's a decision Cuadrado might have a hard time making. But one strong reason because he was on a free transfer after Cuadrado ended his contract with Juventus. Other than that we've seen the experience he has in Serie A so inter milan did a more precise signing that they did. I think he is 35 years old, for sure Cuadrado will reap all kinds of obstacles in the rest of his career, will quickly run out of energy or everything that will make Inter Milan give a 1 season contract for Cuadrado.

Yes, apart from that there is a side of loyalty that Cuadrado has with Juventus, but Juventus did not give him a new contract which made him unable to do much other than leave and join another team. His arrival at inter milan will also provide additional power to their right midfielder for next season.

I can say that I was surprised too. We are used to seeing Saudi Arabian teams signing older players, but it may come as a big surprise that one of the major teams in Serie A signed Cuadrado at the age of 35. I think it's a more attractive option for Cuadrado to still be in competitive Serie A instead of going to the Saudi Arabian league.

In as much as we blame some players for leaving their respective clubs for their local rivals, we should also try and know the reason behind some of this moves. Some clubs does treat some of their players badly by not showing concern or respect to this players and probably not giving them enough playing time and by so doing, these players in question will move to their local rivals and give their best so that their former club can see how good of player they missed.
I don't think Cuadrado's move to Inter Milan is a big deal nor a sin against his former club. Despite his current age he still has the ability to deliver quality performances on the pitch and there's nothing bad to continue doing so in Italian League

It's a regular practise now because no one bothers. In the EPL, the top six clubs exchange players every season, and the players simply move on without regard for the fans of their previous clubs. Kai Havertz and Mount began trolling Chelsea fans when they left with stupid interviews and posts... So filthy that the bitter portion of the game has vanished. Football loyalty vanished a long time ago.

Anyone with good streaming site for pre-season games?

I wonder where some of you get your news from.  
How can you say Barcelona will have little interest in an expensive player.  Just a season after their new manager took over they spent €55m on Lewandoski,  but in 10 years they wouldn't be able to afford a €100m signing?
It seems a lot of people don't even understand the situation in Barcelona.  

Silva is interested in signing for Barcelona and he has told them his interest and is willing to wait for them. Man City value the player for around €90m.  Now where thing get interesting is that Manchester City are interested in Raphina.  So there could be a real deal but it seems there will be cash involved.
Negotiate are ongoing and we'll see if anything can come out of it.

Barcelona have money now actually. It isn't the problem standing in front of them about signing expensive players now. It is all about financial fair-play in the La Liga. Its rules are creating a big obstacle for Barcelona to make signings whatever they would like. This must be quite annoying for the team as well.

Otherwise for example we were going to watch Messi at Barcelona instead of Inter Miami. Because he was prioritizing returning to Barcelona. But the current problems prevented Barcelona from satisfying his demands.

Gvardiol transfer is about to get official for Manchester City!

There is an agreement on transfer fee finally and Manchester City have already agreed personal terms with the player. This is going to be another wonderful transfer for them surely. Besides it is a great investment thinking of the future also. Because Gvardiol is one of the special defenders who is this much good at this age already.

He fascinated people with his performance in the World Cup as well which drew the attention of top teams more. There is a quite number of centre-backs in the squad maybe but it might not take Gvardiol much time to consolidate his place in the starting eleven as long as he plays his usual game.

Exciting talent,  he was solid for Croatia during the Fifa World Cup but flopped when he met Lionel Messi on the pitch.
Pep Guardiola keeps on attracting the best players to Manchester City. Its still seem like he wants to defend the Premier league once again.  Chelsea was leading the race to sign the player but Pochettino has definitely better plans for his squad and the new season.

But Gvardiol would add a lot to the defense of Pep Guardiola.  Marhez has also accepted terms with the Saudi Arabians,  he achieved a big time ever since he moved from Leicester City to Manchester City.

There’s always a space or void a new player will always fix any club they join. It might be squad depth or even to complete the substitutes on bench. Juan Cuadrado has really come a long way to this point. His football journey has not been much exciting to him but he really tried is best and he should be applaud for that. Joining Inter Milan might be a new start for him, but with his experience I’m sure he’ll help Inter Milan to be a stronger team even from the bench.

Marhez has also accepted terms with the Saudi Arabians,  he achieved a big time ever since he moved from Leicester City to Manchester City.

He has already achieved a lot with Manchester City even though he’s mostly coming in as substitute. His impact he add to the game after substitution into the game is very impressive and I wish him all the best in his new career at the Saudi club. He was not just the best to Pep but definitely a great player at Manchester City.

Barcelona spent too much in the past and that's why they have many financial issues in their teams which is the reason for them to sell some players. But recently they tried to spend less money and don't hire expensive players, that's why they could hire Messi for the next season.
But I think they will try even harder to buy Bernardo Silva from Manchester City if they really want to make it happen.

[Huppercase]

In the end Lukaku was one of the players who made Chelsea lose 2 times in terms of transfers so they also didn't want to let him go that quickly which made them take the option of a loan to get his form back but this did not go well.
Lukaku and Juventus are still linked now and this is what makes Inter look for other alternatives (now Morata) to be their next target.
The problem in this case is that if Lukaku decides to go to a rival this will obviously spark new drama for Inter and Juventus and I expect this to happen because with transfers like this it will increase the intensity and tension in the end.

Lukaku was a bad investment for Chelsea but he is not responsible for Chelsea failure throughout last season, we know what Chelsea did and what affected them in the last concluded season because I can say that loaning Lukaku to Inter was a very good decisions for them with only $8M even when they couldn't win the Champions League, they made it far after a while of zigzag journey and not only that, they finished last season among the top teams in Seria A while Chelsea suffer in Premier League with all the goody players they had on the pipeline.

I don't know why Lukaku transfer is causing many speculations as if it was one of the best expect, I saw Mendy move to Ligue 1 team today and doesn't make reactions that much, I was just happy he is back on track on another journey after a wasteful years but it has always been this Lukaku this and that that without anything to show for Chelsea, he should go wherever he wants in peace.

Finally, manchester city gets a young talented player to replace walker's position. Gvardiol gonna be the main starter soon. He has more potential compared with the available centre back in the club. That's why reason why pep was signing him from leipzig.
As long as his price is still make sense and gvardiol will able to be a great defender and investment for the future. It makes me feel if manchester city gonna be performing even better next season with fresh name to appear in EPL.

This guy has been targeting by so many club but he picks manchester city as a club that has won treble winners last season. Gvardiol has big hopes to help city in dominating the premier league again next season.
I can't wait to see his debut with manchester city. City is now building a beast squad from young talented players. It was very good to see that finally happened. Can you tell me how much fees being agreed between city and leipzig for him?

If Barcelona were able to hire Messi, then I assure you, they would definitely do it. There was simply no certainty this time and everything could have gone down at the very last moment, so Messi, already taught by bitter experience, did not wait out of harm's way this time until the very end without any guarantees for a positive outcome of the case and signed a contract with Inter Miami.

Speaking of Barcelona and Messi... I just saw that Inter Miami confirmed yesterday the signing of left-back Jordi Alba, Messi's former teammate at Barcelona.
Jordi Alba had announced his contract termination with Barcelona in May, after an incredible 11 seasons at the club, I thought he would retire there.

In the same way, midfielder Sergio Busquets, also left Catalonia to play for Messi's team in the United States... signings do not stop and it is expected (at least they are hoping) that Uruguayan striker Luis Suárez from Grêmio (Brazil) will also go to Inter Miami later this year.

I hope that Messi got it right at Inter Miami and that he has good seasons there before the next World Cup.

[asriloni]

I would say that's the best decision that can be taken by chelsea. The club has been dropping off meguire from its list. It's a good choice. Chelsea is now hunding manchester's academic player.

Chelsea are not interested in pursuing Manchester United's Harry Maguire, but are considering making an offer for academy graduate Marc Guehi. Maguire has been stripped of the captaincy at United and has been told he is free to leave by head coach Erik ten Hag. Chelsea, who have lost Wesley Fofana to an untimely ACL injury, are now in the market for a central defender having sold Kalidou Koulibaly earlier in the summer.

https://www.goal.com/en/news/harry-maguire-chelsea-manchester-united-crystal-palace-marc-guehi/blta0a0a2ec3f7c8c06
Chelsea needs to fund a good replacement for fofana caused by he has been facing serious injury. Marc guehi has become the most important target by chelsea. Im very happy if the rumor about chelsea to sign meguire was not true. It's a fake rumor. Meguire is not fit for chelsea. He is a lazy defender. I suggest meguire come back to the leicester city. The rumor had an impact on many Chelsea fans, and they expressed their disappointment in large numbers. Finally, chelsea has been making clarification regarding it.

[EgleHydee]

I see only two options for Lukaku now:

- Staying at Chelsea
- Signing for Juventus after Vlahovic's leaving for PSG

There is no third option as it seems after hearing about Lukaku's turning down a big offer from Saudi Arabia. Inter is also not an option anymore as they have heard about Juventus' interest as well and decided not to go for him anymore. He should go to Juventus in this situation. Because he doesn't have a good past with Chelsea and I don't think it will change if he stays either.

Lukaku rejected Chelsea and did an interview during mid season, twerking to go back to Inter. Now he’s open to joining a direct rival in the league. The bitter truth is, Lukaku and every footballer owes any club any form of loyalty. Chelsea doesn’t want him anymore, Inter pulled out because he was in contact with Juve.
So, he might end up in the Saudi league.
