⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[davis196]

Manchester United signed Jonny Evans. Now that's a weird transfer. Evans is a former United player(not one of the good ones) and he's 35 years old. I guess that Ten Hag will use him as a substitute player in defense.
The Killian Mbappe transfer from PSG to Real Madrid is the biggest drama on the transfer market. It seems that Real doesn't want to pay 250 million euro for Mbappe, because they want to sign him after his contract with PSG ends. PSG, on the other hand, wants to prolong Mbappe's contract, in order to sell him for a big price, and they are ready to kick him out of the squad and/or leave him as a substitute player.
Let's wait and see how Mbappe will get out of this weird situation.

It's really crazy how Manchester City already successfully sign Gvardiol, they already have so many world class defenders e.g. Akanji, Stones, Walker, Cancelo, Ake, and Dias. Is there any striker can destroy these defenders? I really doubt it. There's no loophole in Manchester City's squad, their current squad remind me with Barcelona squad in 2008/2009 where it's one of the best squad in football history.

They are building for themselves a formidable squad that even when their first eleven are reserved, the second can be unbeatable as well. I like the pattern at which Guardiola is training the boys, instilling such confidence that even on less than better days, they still manage to perform well.
But on a different note, can Raphinha be a worthy replacement to Riyad Mahrez? The Algerian forward has been instrumental since joining the club in 2018, playing 294 games and having 77 goals to his name. Although Raphinha is also a good player and having joined Barca in the summer of last season, he has scored 10 goals. But is he still a better replacement?

[len01]

Realistic for Barcelona right now signing player with free agent, they don't have to pay payment fees transfer and Barcelona just negotiation with contract duration then how much salary will pay.

Barca are always interested in quality players even when they know it will be impossible for them to get. They want to try every possible to uplift them team back to the way it used to be but to do that you need finance to add high quality players to the team. They should rest for now and focus on building their current players and their academy players instead of trying to acquire players they can’t afford and in the end it may result to salary cut of some players in order to pay the wages of these players.

I agree more with the mindset as you said because at the moment Barcelona finances are really bad and maybe the best way is to improve by recruiting academy players and educating these young players so they can have strong new talents and if that works Barcelona can sell those player and recover their finances for the next few seasons. so Barcelona should be more patient without star players for the next few seasons and try to use this strategy to improve their finances.
maybe this method will not guarantee it, but at least with this mindset it can help restore Barcelona finances a little.

and right now it looks like some of the new players recruited by Barcelona are getting for free from the transfer market, well at least they can strengthen some of the line-up even though they are not as strong as the star players.

Lionel Messi would never have left Barcelona if Barcelona had not let go of Lionel Messi due to financial problems. Barcelona was a name of passion for Messi because the Argentinian star played for Barcelona from that small time to long time. Lionel Messi's performance was not that good at the time when Barcelona released Messi due to financial problems. After releasing Lionel Messi, Barcelona made several big transfers to their team. Barcelona signed stars like Raphinha Lewandowski after Messi left. After the end of Messi's contract with PSC this season, the Barcelona president wanted to return Messi to Barcelona again, but in the end, their efforts were not successful. Messi joined Inter Miami. Having failed to lure Messi back to Barcelona, Barcelona have signed former Champions League-winning captain İlkay Gündoğan.

After his exit from PSG things were clear he is not going to join Barcelona with most chances his next destination could be MLS or Saudi League because in presence of Xavi and due to financial issues it's never been option for both parties this was just rumours in news for the media intention which is not already ended because if Barcelona have him again then surely this was going to be big disaster for their preparations which are happening in presence of many youngsters which are doing impressive.

Barcelona current squad is surely capable of having better results then in presence of Messi and Xavi is also dealing impressively with this all right now with their current strength and performance they can defend their title easily.

Chelsea fans across the world are just feeling too bad that they sold two players to their rivals, talking about Arsenal (got Havartz) while Manchester United (got Mason Mount), as if that's not enough, they the Chelsea fans are just happy that the both players would be a flop at their new destination, they can't play well and it would be a regret for both Arsenal and Manchester United. Very funny though, to me I don't see it that way especially with the man Kia Havartz, I see him as the next Ozil at Arsenal or even a better player than Ozil was at Arsenal.

Havartz is going to be a key players for the Gunners, and we shouldn't judge with the pre-season performance and all that but the player would do much better come next season even better than the UTD player Mason Mount.
Kia is having a bad time in the pre-season matches he played but he scored last night and same with Mount but no goal yet, we shouldn't d write them off yet, both players are good but if you ask me to choose between both players I'd go for Kia Havartz, he's better than Mount. Who is better if you're to be a manger to pick from?

Thomas Partey has now linked up with the rest of Arsenal's pre-season squad in the United States, 90min understands, with the Gunners not seeking a summer transfer for the midfielder.

Partey was granted permission to explore a move away from the club earlier this summer and was not included in Arsenal's initial pre-season squad.

Clubs from Saudi Arabia registered interest in Partey and were prepared to make offers, but the Ghana international made it clear his preference was to remain in Europe.

So, partey will not be going to the saudi club. It sounds good caused by arsenal really needs him right now. Partey already clariffied if he wants stay for another season in arsenal. Arsenal fans are so happy with his decision.
He has been also playing in the pre season match against MLS all star. Partey is here to stay. He was not interesting to leave from arsenal in sumer. It surprises me caused by so many people have been also talking about his destination once he was going to leave from the club.

Finally, it will not happen. Arteta knew that if partey is still holding one of important role in the club. He is actually needed by the club. It makes everything clear now about him.
Glad partey was not only silent by seeing so many rumors about his movement to leave from arsenal.

After going through rumors for several weeks, Liverpool and Al-Ettifaq finally reached an agreement to sign Jordan Henderson. In these negotiations Jordan Henderson agreed to a contract for 3 years and the cost is around 12 million euros plus add ons. It looks like Steven Gerrard is very adamant about signing Jordan Henderson and with this we will see the two former Liverpool captains join the same team in the Saudi league starting next season. I didn't think that Jordan Henderson would agree to this transfer and maybe again the salary offer that was given was very tempting for any European player at this time.

Source: https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1681705250091147265

Henderson is certain now and it remains to see if Fabinho will do the same because we know that Fabinho is also rumored to be walking to the Liverpool exit door and moving to Al Ittihad.
Currently it is reported that they are ready to provide 40 million as a finalized price for Liverpool and that means Liverpool are really overhauling their midfielders and regenerating younger players.

Now with Fabinho leaving, it is likely that Liverpool will make a bigger move for Manchester City's Kalvin Phillips to provide regeneration especially if Fabinho really leaves then they will get an opening for a defensive midfielder.

Indeed, the door for Liverpool's midfielder next season is increasingly open for any player to be able to fill it in and after Henderson and Fabinho leave, there will be a place left. We know that Henderson and Fabinho are no longer young and Liverpool are currently in need of regeneration, but the fees offered from Al-Ettifaq and Al-Ittihad are also very tempting for Liverpool. Surely Liverpool will be very happy to accept the offer and now it remains to be seen what the next step will be for Fabinho whether he wants to join Al-Ittihad or not.

Liverpool have actually brought in two new midfielders, namely MacAllister and Szoboszlai, thus leaving one place in the defensive midfield and must be filled immediately after Fabinho leaves. I think the Kalvin Philips rumors will come true considering that he also rarely gets minutes to play at Manchester City and Jurgen Kloop doesn't need to be confused if he really wants to come to Anfield.

I can't possibly think of any positive in letting Xhaka and Partey leave in the same season. If depleting a midfield that almost won the league is not stupidity, I don't know what is. I have said it before, Arsenal should delay that Partey deal till January. You can't be making one step forward two steps backward. Arsenal will be involve in a lot of competition next season, they need every player to be available, Partey Jorginhno and Rice are good players to help them stay ahead in the coming season.

Well FC Chelsea was buying players like crazy during the winter transfer period of the last season. After that crazy shopping trip they had way to much players in their squad and it was obvious that they had to sell a few of their players in order to get the head count of their players back to a reasonable amount. I think it really is sad for the fans of FC Chelsea that they are not selling players that did not play that big of a role anyway but instead they are selling very crucial players like Havertz and Mason Mount. So looking at the huge transfer activity of FC Chelsea in the last 8 months or so i have to say that i don't really see the squad stronger now than before.

[Hyphen(-)]

Manchester United signed Jonny Evans. Now that's a weird transfer. Evans is a former United player(not one of the good ones) and he's 35 years old. I guess that Ten Hag will use him as a substitute player in defense.

The respect Jonny Evans have for his old team earn him this opportunity because it takes only a player with a kind heart to come back to where he left; moreover he is a very good defender that will be beneficial to Manchester United following their defensive problems towards the end of last season.

Ten Hag explains that the player have a place in the team, even as we know the he will not start in the first eleven, I am sure he will be a good substitute, and his contract is a short one but can be extended if his performance is worthwhile.

Nevertheless, I see this as an opportunity for him to showcase his talent and help his football career growing after his contract expires with the relegated side Leicester City at the end of last season.

The Killian Mbappe transfer from PSG to Real Madrid is the biggest drama on the transfer market. It seems that Real doesn't want to pay 250 million euro for Mbappe, because they want to sign him after his contract with PSG ends. PSG, on the other hand, wants to prolong Mbappe's contract, in order to sell him for a big price, and they are ready to kick him out of the squad and/or leave him as a substitute player.
Let's wait and see how Mbappe will get out of this weird situation.

PSG are just making everything difficult by demanding a very high price even though they know that his contract is just two seasons ahead, they wanted to get good value from his departure because if they keep him it will be of no too much benefit because he might end going on a free transfer that is why they are very keen to let him go.

Real Madrid on the other hand are maintaining their price valuation because they know that the player is interested in leaving and they might get him with a cheaper price that is why they are not pushing that hard.

And another reason is that, so many teams might be interested in signing him, but cannot afford the money to be paying him as he play in the team.

[KTChampions]

I do not think that the question of the next season is relevant at the moment - everything should be decided now. If Kane leaves for free, then Tottenham will be in a big loss, so if Kane's departure is a definite thing, and the club knows it, then they are obliged to sell him now. The situation is similar with Mbappe, so I hope to see these two transfers now and not in a year.

Tottenham have not mandated him to sign a new contract for now. Maybe they aim to keep him for one more season because he will be useful for them to compete for the league trophy or secure a champion league slot. But if the club wants to consider the business part of the deal, the best option will be to make him extend his contract or sell him this season. Besides these two options, Tottenham will lose close to €100m if they let him leave for free next season.

Yes, it's simple math: having Kane doesn't guarantee anything (8th place lol with Kane scoring 30 goals) and his departure means that the rest of the year will cost Tottenham 100 million (which they can now get for him) plus his salary. If Tottenham had the financial capacity of the City, then maybe it would be normal to use his services for another year at this price, but for Tottenham this is a very minus option.

Well that's your assumption, if we speak from the data, currently has the best result in friendly match where they won 5-0 against Wrexham today. Havertz and Mason Mount might aren't good players, although they are still young and they have a chance to increase their quality.

It's either Pochettino is smart to find a problem in Chelsea or he's stupid for did this fast regeneration by selling their important players when they won champions league trophy.

Every coach has different tactics as well as the selection of players, of course the coach knows better which players are suitable to be able to apply tactics properly, so far Pochettino has built Chelsea according to his wishes, but from the current list of Chelsea players, many people doubt that Pochettino is able to meet expectations Chelsea fans are returning to their best performance like a few seasons ago, of course for me it is difficult and even in my opinion impossible, everything needs a process and now Pochettino is in the process of being able to bring Chelsea back to where it deserves.

They are building for themselves a formidable squad that even when their first eleven are reserved, the second can be unbeatable as well. I like the pattern at which Guardiola is training the boys, instilling such confidence that even on less than better days, they still manage to perform well.

The back line built by Pep Guardiola this season will be very difficult for opponents to penetrate. With so many choices of players and their respective abilities, it's clear that this is balanced. So it won't be difficult if one of the players is absent. Pep Guardiola is looking to leave a legacy before he leaves, though Man City will not allow that to happen. The target for next season is to maintain the treble winner, adequate finances will not make Man City difficult in any case. Defensive gaps that seem difficult for opponents to find.

Barca are always interested in quality players even when they know it will be impossible for them to get. They want to try every possible to uplift them team back to the way it used to be but to do that you need finance to add high quality players to the team. They should rest for now and focus on building their current players and their academy players instead of trying to acquire players they can’t afford and in the end it may result to salary cut of some players in order to pay the wages of these players.

Even though in the midst of Barcelona's poor finances, they can still get high-quality players and that proves how serious Barcelona is in preparing a better future. However, the question is are the players brought in ready to survive in the midst of Barcelona's finances like this? they also need to be paid and compensated accordingly.

[Coyster]

I can't possibly think of any positive in letting Xhaka and Partey leave in the same season. If depleting a midfield that almost won the league is not stupidity, I don't know what is.

Arsenal will be involve in a lot of competition next season, they need every player to be available, Partey Jorginhno and Rice are good players to help them stay ahead in the coming season.

They cannot keep all of them, even if they want to, they have to sell some of their players to make money from them and to get them off their payroll. Arsenal signed Rice for a lot of money so they have to make money from selling players in order to balance their books. Having said that, with the arrival of Rice, playing time for Partey will also be reduced, thus the player himself would wish to go. Overall Arsenal are doing good business in the transfer window this summer and it will help them to be in contention for the EPL next season.

So looking at the huge transfer activity of FC Chelsea in the last 8 months or so i have to say that i don't really see the squad stronger now than before.

Chelsea massive spending during the transfer period last winter resulted in huge losses, the players that were brought in at that time including Aubameyang who was brought in from Barcelona did not have a positive effect on Chelsea. Chelsea management have not given up even though they failed to finish in the best position last season, they continue to bring in new players to improve Chelsea quality this season. The arrival of several new players forced Chelsea to sell or release several old players for free in order to make room for new players.
Chelsea decided to release Aubameyang for free to Marseille even though he is still under contract until 2024, Chelsea chose the option of terminating Aubameyang contract as their clearing mission.

Besides these two options, Tottenham will lose close to €100m if they let him leave for free next season.

It seems that now the Harry Kane rumors are dragging on, we can see that it has been three seasons that Manchester United have not received the green light from Tottenham. If indeed Tottenham's goal is to maintain it to win a trophy then there is no reason for Postecoglou to fail again next season, at least being able to finish in the top five of the standings is very good. He has one year left on his contract, and if management feel they cannot maximize their form for next season's competition then I think it would be better to take the option to sell him. Because we know some other clubs really want him and maybe they will agree to the £100 million price clause that has been set. It seems that Tottenham will have to consider this soon before they lose Kane to a free agent when his contract expires.

Weird? No, I don't find it weird. I have only seen a 35 Years old still better than the Harry Maguire everyone protects after he's caused drama for Manchester United at the heart of the defense. He has only signed to keep fit with Manchester United but I'm not so sure for how long it's gonna take.

If it's for the full season, that would be solid, cause, I watched him closely yesterday during the game against Lyon and he did nothing but proper defending, composed player's and will be a great inspiration to the youngins of Manchester United player's. He has lots of experience to share all rounders in the dressing room. Not just as a substitute, Jonny Evans was excellent for Leicester City even if they couldn't go above the red zones of the Premier League. He'll be a great addition because there so many games to play.

If Manchester United had such a player like Johnny Evans when they lost Lisandro Martinez to Injury, They wouldn't have gas so much issues with defending games.
And Real Madrid! They've literally learnt the lessons from the caes of Eden Hazard, it'll be considered dump and stupid to see them splash such on a player again and he returns to flopfor Real Madrid. Good business for them.to wait till the right timing.

[TheGreatPython]

Almost impossible with Joan Laporta ambition for signing Bernando Silva from Manchester City, release from transfer market, Silva has values above 70 million euro and I don't think Barcelona have much money to pay transfer fees. Actually Barcelona still has debt for Manchester City last season after signing Ferran Torres with 50 million euro and right now they have paid 10 million euro only. Barcelona still facing with financial problem and how come have much fund for signing Bernando Silva, Manchester City won't to release fees transfer without paying full and they have realize how delay payment after signing Ferran Torres.

Realistic for Barcelona right now signing player with free agent, they don't have to pay payment fees transfer and Barcelona just negotiation with contract duration then how much salary will pay.

Barcelona's opportunity to get Bernando Silva is by exchanging players. it is rumored that Man City also wants Raphinha, and this could be another negotiation if Man City and Barca get an agreement. however, Raphinha is also a player that Xavi always chooses. of course, Xavi must really consider Man City's wishes. Barca are still having problems with their finances. I don't know how long they will get better.

Barcelona currently situation not allowing them to have any high price player because their debit is almost €1300 million which is more than worst and Bernardo Silva is almost €70 million which is not affordable for them even Manchester City board is trying their best for keeping this player, but he wants change with PSG is also trying their best but right now his future is uncertain at Manchester City.

As of now, Barcelona squad is strong enough and can do better which is surely good news for them, and they can go through without any big spending but still with this all they have no time frame about their problem's settlement because it's never been easy to reduce this debit hopefully something better will be happened for them.

Let's wait and see how Mbappe will get out of this weird situation.

Jonny Evans was signed by Erik ten Hag as a backup for Varane and Martinez and with his wealth of experience he would help the young players in Man Utd and if any of those two central defenders is out injured he will definitely be an alternative substitute, meanwhile Maguire who could have been the alternative substitute would likely leave Man Utd for another club having been stripped of the captain band thus he will likely be on bench this will definitely prompt his departure, Jonny Evans had been with club before he knows the in and out of the club and Instead of moving to Saudi Arabia he prefers to stay with Man Utd and contribute to their success.
