⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[JeffBrad12]

It seems like that kyle walker has become the hottest topic again. I saw some members in here were talking about him. Some think Walker will go to Bayern, but Pep's latest interview shows he is fighting to keep him. No matter what happened with the club and pep said if walker is the most important asset that owned by manchester city. Treble winner would not happen if he was not also helping the club to achieve it.

On the eve of the game in Japan, Guardiola said of Walker, "He is incredibly important for us. He has specific qualities that are so difficult to find out wide. I don’t know what’s going to happen. Both clubs are in touch. We will fight for him like I'm sure Bayern will too."

It's quite clear to me if the final decision will be on walker. I guess if walker is still confusing with his future. Pep is still including him on his plan for the upcoming season while walker has been also reaching a personal agreement with bayern.
This gonna be the most difficult situation for walker caused by he must pick the best choice for his future. I thought that if the chance for walker to stay is quite bigger compared to him to leave and join in bayern.

I hope walker will stay and he will not regret it.

That's right. It's true what I mean is that Erik ten Hag needs to add an attacker. First, because of the tight schedule of matches. Second, what Manchester United lacked last season was on the front lines. Relying on Weghorst didn't work for Erik ten Hag to increase Manchester United's goal productivity. Martial is injured and Sancho is inconsistent. After all, Sancho is not a player who plays as an attacker. Having looked good, Rashford eventually also decreased in performance.

This is why I really want Manchester United to get serious about getting Rasmus Hojlund.

But if I'm not mistaken, I read they wouldn't have paid Rasmus Hojlund more than 60 million euros. Reportedly Atalanta made an offer of 85 million euros. There are other alternatives for United, they are also looking at Eintracht Frankfurt player Randal Kolo Muani as an alternative target for Hojlund. Ten Hag is also eyeing Ajax forward Mohammed Kudus.

Manchester United's striker shortage is not a big problem right now, I think. Rashford can be considered for that area. If they can get Harry Kane it would be a nice extra deal but I can't imagine Tottenham selling him to a competitor. So I think this possibility is slim. But Hojlund will strengthen them, that's for sure.

Rashford isn't so good in the central attacking position, he is better on the left side of attack, and Erik ten hag would know that if he wants to harness the full potential of his best attacker, he'd have to play him in his favorite position.

Having said that, Harry Kane doesn't seem to be serious about leaving Spurs, if he is; he would have handed in a transfer request, other than that, it would be impossible for Manchester United to try and reach an agreement with Spurs/Daniel Levy for Harry Kane. I don't know much about Hojlund, but i think Atalanta are asking for too much for the Danish international, if they don't reduce their valuation of the striker, Manchester United might be forced to walk away from the deal.

Actually Rashford can operate as a center attack, however, Ten Hag cannot only rely on him. as we know in the last season, when Rashford has decreased, he has difficulty returning to his best form. therefore, Ten Hag wanted a pure striker they could rely on when it came to scoring goals. There are several names on Manchester United's target list in this window, namely Harry Kane, Kolo Muani and several other names. but unfortunately, Frankfurt prices strikernya high. Tottenham is no exception, Ten Hag wants this player. however, the Spurs will not let Kane go to their rival.

Speaking of Rasmus Hojlud, the last time I read news regarding this rumour. Man United will refuse to bid in excess of £60m for Rasmus Hojlund, with reports suggesting several alternatives are being explored including one that has been tested by Erik Ten Hag. but regardless, Man United have agreed personal terms with the Denmark international who is thought to be keen to join the Red Devils. also, Hojlund was United's main target. only, if Atlanta doesn't strike an unattainable deal, other targets will be explored. Ten Hag explores "creative" alternatives. So, let's wait and see how Ten Hag continues with what he wants to get the ideal striker for his team.

I don't understand what they want to do with Mbappe for only one year for such a huge amount of money. The amount they offered would have been fine if they had signed Mbappe to their club on a long-term deal but for such a huge amount of money they only expressed interest in signing Mbappe on a one-year deal is nothing short of madness. They may want to take the big European players into their league just for money. Mbappé must think about the kind of offer Mbappé has been offered because such an opportunity may not come his way again in his life. I think Mbappe won't give up such a huge offer for just one year because he will leave PSG after just one year anyway, so if Mbappe leaves PSG at this moment PSG will get a huge amount of money and Mbappe's huge money will create an income opportunity.

I am assuming that they have shown that old retiring players could get a lot of money with Ronaldo, and that opened the path for some of the other older players who were close to retirement end up getting there and getting paid. With this they could aim at getting other active players, like the ones on their 20's as well, and very good, to have a reason to go as well. Think of Mbappe as an example, they have a lot of money so offering 700 million is nothing for them, they are rich enough that it's like spending 70 bucks for us, it's nothing.

They literally own a whole nation, and a nation that's filled with oil as well, imagine if you had your own country that you owned, would 700 million look a lot? Of course not. Hence this is just a marketing tool and I bet it would work too.

[Mame89]

The amount that's been offered by the Saudi Arabian club is tempting to not just PSG but also Mbappe but I strongly believe that the the young superstar wouldn't leave Europe now for the Saudi League. Kylian Mbappe is likely to leave PSG this summer but surely not for a Saudi club

I feel that all possibilities can happen, moreover Al Hilal is said to only have a one-year contract so why not, of course it's not all about money but even if he takes it it is of course his right as a free ball player where he chooses., at such a young age, you can still go anywhere, apart from the players themselves, of course there are still agents who know about business opportunities. whatever the choice, we need to wait for Mbappe's final decision.

If Mbappe chooses the Arab league, it doesn't matter because his goal is to go to Real Madrid and Real Madrid will buy him next season because of a free agent, after all, it's only a one-year contract, in fact, next year, if he returns to the European league, this will be news. big again. I'm also sure that he went to Al Hilal. Because according to him, opportunities don't come twice with that kind of money at a young age he got, and Kylian Mbappe is not a fool, surely he only played one season thereafter and he will return to Europe. Because of his talent, he has European blood.

Every elite clubs becoming serious for the upcoming season. Manchester United is preparing for next season, with head coach Erik Ten Hag planning everything solid for the club; it will be interesting to see how they contribute to the league. The Red Devils should strike the form of gold by recruiting a top striker who is versatile in the vicinity of goal. The frontlines will undoubtedly be competitive starting next season, with each player regaining shape and preparing to exploit his strengths. On the other hand, Rasmus Hojlund will improved better when he comes to an elite club like Manchester united.

Because of his talent, he has European blood.

what do you mean about Mbappe going to the saudi arabia team after that moving to the european team again? I'm not really sure if this is the best option because the contract is only one year and after that going back to Europe it will make things complicated.
on the one hand I don't see Mbappe having any interest in going to Saudi Arabia because it's not only about money but also a better future career in Europe. I know that Mbappe is not a fool but he will think about his career and money so choosing to go to Arabia on a one year contract was not his choice and more to stay in the European team.

No matter what happened with the club and pep said if walker is the most important asset that owned by manchester city. Treble winner would not happen if he was not also helping the club to achieve it.

Manchester City just needs to clarify Walker position and if he is set to be a key player again then it is possible that Walker will reconsider his decision. Pep Guardiola still believes that Walker's services are needed by Manchester City even though there are other options Pep is still trying so he can survive. Winning the Treble winner, Walker services cannot be forgotten, therefore Pep will fight in any way, for example by increasing his salary a little more than before.

But if I'm not mistaken, I read they wouldn't have paid Rasmus Hojlund more than 60 million euros. Reportedly Atalanta made an offer of 85 million euros. There are other alternatives for United, they are also looking at Eintracht Frankfurt player Randal Kolo Muani as an alternative target for Hojlund.

If you see Erik Ten Hag ambition in hunting players, he always tends to target players from Ajax, so Mohammed Kudus will be more easily withdrawn than Rasmus Hojlund. Currently in his position Ras mus Hojlund has an offer above the one that Manchester United can afford. Atalanta really needs a sharp striker so they dare to give a fantastic price for Rasmus Hojlund.

[legendbtc]

It may have been effective that Haaland changed his perspective on northern countries. Manchester United may want to find the new Haaland, and they found hope in Hojlund in this regard. Another important factor is the fact that Tottenham will not be willing to give Kane. They don't want to sell Harry Kane to their rivals. I don't think money is the problem.

Hojlund is a young player and is indeed very suitable for Manchester United because a young player like Hojlund is very good if he can play in the Premier League next season. But is Hojlund really a very good hope for Manchester United? Because he is of course still very different from Haaland who has proven his performance at Manchester City in the Premier League and also the Champions League last season.

Hojlund is not the only target for the Manchester United striker position because coach Erik Ten Hag has many other options. Even Harry Kane, although still a problematic deal, is not out of their interest. Up to now, Manchester United has remained silent about the striker position. We cannot confirm which striker Erik Ten Hag needs. If MU wants to find a new Haaland, now the players who can match him, I think, can only be Mbappe and Neymar. That is only vague because the price of these two players is too high.

Erik Ten Hag has proven his achievement by bringing Manchester United back to playing in the Champions League for the 2023/24 season and of course in the future Erik Ten Hag has a great opportunity to lead Manchester United to win the Premier League and compete for the Champions League.
Now Erik Ten Hag has included several players such as Mason Mount, Andre Onana and Jonny Evans so that Manchester United can have better players.
Maybe with the transfer of players again in the position of striker can sharpen the power of attack for Manchester United.

[zuzie]

Manchester United has decide to raises Scott McTominay price tag this because if there is a team who want him they should be pay not less than 40 millions and actually West Ham has showing their interest to McTominay this because they still look for the replacement of Declan Rice and their manager David Moyes feel McTominay is suitable to be the replacement of Rice besides that Moyes also confirmed he really likes the style of play of McTominay but til now West Ham haven't bid yet for this player
Actually Ten Hag really likes McTominay so this option is still not certain because possibly Manchester United still needed McTominay service for next season but probably if there is a club who dare to pay with high price then Manchester United will considering to release McTominay and besides this rumour Manchester United also linked to Fiorentina player Sofyan Amrabat

Precisely the Erik Ten Hag itself did not include Scott McTominay in its long-term plans. Quoted from the media goal coach ten Hag wants to immediately release McTominay along with Jadon Sancho, and Harry Maguire. I've said about this some time ago
With the €116 million that West Ham acquire from the sale of Declan Rice, they could have bought McTominay without a hitch but was it worth it? because basically McTominay has not shown positive progress in the last two seasons with Manchester United and 40 million as you say is not a small value.

[Stepstowealth]

They don't want to sell Harry Kane to their rivals. I don't think money is the problem.

I understand why Tottenham are reluctant to sell Harry Kane to another English club.They know very well that he is a good player and selling to another english club will only mean that they are empowering their rivals. Chelsea do not think this way, that is why they have made the mistake of selling Kovacic to Manchester City. Kovacic will be brought back to his best by Pep, and he will become a very good player for Manchester City that can pair with Rodri in their midfield. Chelsea made a mistake.

Manchester United must know that players like Scott McTominay's value has really dropped from what it used to be because of his performance in the last two seasons and bring down their asking price for the Scottish player if they really want to get rid of him from their squad.
McTominay is a good defensive midfielder but I don't think his current price tag should be above 20 million pounds unless it's one of the Saudi Arabian clubs that wants to sign him

Erik Ten Hag is back trying to organize the Man United squad on the path to glory after spending a year coaching Harry Maguire and friends. If Ten Hag had received enough funding from a club owner like Pep Guardiola, maybe change would have happened more quickly and ambitions would have been more easily realized. But instead Ten Hag had to start gradually, such as changing the club captain, releasing De Gea and being replaced by Onana and recruiting Mason Mount from his rival and giving number seven to the new player. Those are the series of progress that Ten Hag has made so far, if expectations don't match reality then surely the fans and all supporters will be disappointed with this move.

Man United has experienced a period of transition and is trying to revolutionize the club to achieve glory like under Alex Ferguson. The ambition to win the EPL trophy amid the dominance of Man City is not an easy thing, let alone winning the Champions League, but the stages of change that have been made will take them one step further.

I don’t think Mbappe would go over to the Arab league even if it’s for a season. At least not for now anyways. I think Mbappe still has passion for the game and while the money to be earned at the Saudi league would be a lot more than he currently earns, I don’t think that would motivate him to make the move just yet.
He already makes a lot of money as it is and I don’t think the prospect of playing in the Saudi league looks appealing to him at the moment.
I don’t get what you mean by having European blood and having talent.

I almost feel like I should take a bet on Mbappe going to the Saudi Professional League. I can't verify whether this offer really exists and if it exists, whether it is the numbers that are talked about in the media. But if that offer exists and Mbappe is making 700 million in salary plus any other income sources he has that are also fueled by this deal, I would say the odds that he is going to the SPL for a season are like 80:20 or even higher. The deal is too massive because he gains more from it than just the money. A player can thrive for winning the Champions League or the Ballon d’Or, but being this one player who got this gigantic offer and then contract that will make him the best paid player probably for a decade or two decades will also entail other opportunities for him. This player is full of marketing value already and it would explode even more afterwards. Numbers are catchy and his name will benefit from it. This is a tough decision when we assume that Mbappe suffers from not winning important titles in club soccer. But in every other regard I doubt that Mbappe is suffering or having a headache right now.

[Sexylizzy2813]

Chelsea sold some good players especially from the midfield and they're still trying to find the best replacement for those positions. With the departure of Kovacic, Mount and other players from the midfield they have let go, I just don't know if Chelsea would be missing both players (Mount and Kovacic) at ones, lemme not mention Kanté.
Between Kovacic and Mount which player played out his best in the Chelsea side? One of Chelsea's legend, talking about  Michael Ballack, came out to say Chelsea will miss Mount like is he for real? Instead of me (that's if I'm a Chelsea fan) to miss Mount, is Kovacic I should be missing. The player (Kovacic) is one of the player Chelsea can never replace IMO, no matter what. So I don't even see Mount putting much effort as Kovacic on the Chelsea side.

thing that will happen to mbappe if he goes to the arab league in my opinion is,

- his career as a football player will end in the arab league because the competition there is not so tight.
- its selling value will drop.
- he will be difficult to enter the core squad of the French national team.
- he will never get the UCL Fifa trophy.

what mbappe has to think about is getting into a club that can give him the UCL title because that's the only ambition that mbappe has not yet achieved, real madrid and man utd (the issue is man utd is also interested in mbappe) is a good choice but I doubt mbappe is interested in moving to man utd.

The fact that United has the highest net spend in the last 10 years and they have shown zero success towards that makes me question why they are overspending on players. They are United, they should be able to have a pull on players, like be easier to convince anyone to play for them, even during their dry spell, they are still a great team and should be considered a lovely place to go to. In any case, I am sensing the situation to be a bit different and I bet that it is going to matter a lot eventually.

What I need to see them do right now is to win a title, at least just one, if they can't do that then where did all that money go to? Why and who they spent that money on and why are they looking so terrible after spending it.

Manchester United have spent a huge amout of money so far indeed. They did it for even average level players I mean. But they are newly able to pull themselves together thanks to Erik ten Hag. There was some good progress in the previous season. However the expectation will be bigger this season. A title challenge will be expected. Mount and Onana are the only transfers so far. In addition to that they will most probably sign a striker as well. For now it is likely to be Hojlund.

After all these transfers they need to be able to fight for a bigger cause in the EPL. It isn't impossible to bring back their old days even if it is tough on one hand.
