⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[shogun47]

Mbappe isn't not showinggood faith or anything, he is trying everything he can to squeeze every penny out of his situation right now and both Real Madrid and PSG know that and are now figuring out in how far they should play that game with him or not . He will win either way, but winning is not enough for him. He wants to win big time even though he is the best paid soccer player in Europe already. If everything works out according to his plan he can actually compete with the guys playing in Saudi Arabia.

Mbappé may be taking advantage of the situation so that PSG can give him more money, Real Madrid is a team that if they had wanted the player they would have already bought him, that's for sure, I wouldn't have much hope that Mbappé would be in the ranks of Madrid , he will stay at PSG and next season Liverpool will grab him, that's a sure thing or maybe Arsenal, maybe either of the two teams, there it's a matter of his decision , however I don't see Mbappé in Madrid, and if they buy him, it would be very disappointing if they hired him , it is something that I would not like because it would go Against their own principles.

I agree most of the time, but do you think that Real Madrid doesn't have any limits? Frankly, I don't know how far they can go with their finances, but maybe Real Madrid would also have more trouble crushing financial limits than PSG. Not only because they do not have the money at hand, but maybe also because they fear trouble in Spain with authorities? This is speculation on my part, but I am seeing parallels with Barcelona and certain deals that were obviously overpaid. I would have no doubt about Real Madrid to snap buy Mbappe for 150 million, but 250 million is a different story and keep in mind, PSG might not be the best partner to negotiate with in this special situation as they have no intention to make it easy for any club to finance Mbappe. If Real Madrid offers them a payment in a few tranches, I think PSG could be inclined to reject it. I am sure that Real Madrid would still like to sign him, but this transfer fee is again a new level in the soccer world.

Yes, and the truth is something that is not understood, I think you say it for the Treasury, right? that they are quite scrupulous when it comes to it , but in the white club things are on another level, I don't think the Treasury messes with these things since at one point things can get complicated because Madrid manages the best lawyers, In fact, what I think is that they don't want to have Mbappé in their ranks, that's all, there is no other explanation, otherwise he would already be at the club and training , now they are concentrating on promising and young players, they will not lose their north, I think the only way they can take Mbappé is to leave him cheap.

If by treasury you mean either tax or state authorities or also responsible authorities from the La Liga association or the UEFA, then yes. This is why I brought up the payment plan in tranches. I don't know whether they could pay 250 or 300 million at once even if they had the money since the rules are related mostly to the revenue a club generates?  I don't know for sure and this is more speculation, but you are right that they have always sorted out issues related to costly transfers when they needed to or were forced to. So far we haven't really seen a club get punished and Manchester City will also get away with whatever they have been accused of in the past. It is probably because no league can afford to kick out their own flag ship clubs from competitions.

Bayern Munich knows the kind of quality and mentality that Harry Kane will bring to the Allianz Arena if they finally get the signature of the England national team captain and that is why they're doing everything possible to make sure that that deal sails through.
Tottenham Hotspur management knows the kind of value that'll depart the club with kane if he finally leaves and that's why they want to make a reasonable amount of money from his sales. I think Bayern Munich might finally get their target with the third offer

If the two teams both know what Kane has in store, of course the deal must also be balanced because if Bayern Munich has to make a third bid for a Kane, the transfer fee must also be very close to that made by Tottenham Hotspur. That's because both of them already know what qualities Kane has until now and I also agree more if Bayern Munich wants to make a third bid for a player like Kane. Because Bayern Munich will probably get a lot more different things by signing a Kane.

In fact, Bayern Munich can also use Mane as a trump card in the trade. If Kane gives Mane and some money in return, I think the problem will be solved. Of course, I say this because it is known that Mane wants to leave the team. He could have made a fresh start in the Premier League.

[klidex]

Many have suggested Kane to move from Tottenham in order to win several trophies in his career, not only with the ambition to score the most goals in the EPL. The number of goals will not be enough to prove that Kane is a star player, because without a trophy nothing will be memorable. I think the end of August is the right time for Man United or Bayern Munchen to take Kane out of Tottenham, as the transfer market closes it will put Tottenham management in a more pressured position. if not the risk of losing Kane with a free transfer status will be even greater.

It is reported that the president of Bayern Munchen has made a statement that the Bundesliga especially Munich, is already lacking in star players. Kane is a star player who is suitable to raise the image of the Bundesliga in Europe, maybe this is a sign that they are serious about bringing in Kane in this transfer window.

Kane is a player that many clubs after, such as Real Madrid, PSG and Manchester United. But Manchester United are unlikely to sign Harry Kane as Spurs are unlikely to agree a sale to a fellow Premier League club. The strongest candidate at the moment is indeed Bayern Munich, because Kane is a very interesting player and his arrival to Bayern Munich will certainly help Bayern improve their main players.
Bayern twice failed to bring Kane to the Allianz Arena because Tottenham Hotspur set a price of 100 million pounds. and according to recent reports Bayern Munich will hand Harry Kane a four-year contract and make him one of the highest-paid players if they can reach an agreement with Tottenham for the England captain.

Of course almost all popular clubs are after a star player like Harry Kane because he has a very high quality talent and I'm not surprised that Bayern Munich wants him so much because the real strength of the Munich club is when they get a star player.
Actually, Bayern Munich are also not only after Kane but also Kylian Mbappe, it's just that the price is very unreasonable so they choose to chase Kane and always press on how to get Spurs to release Kane for a contract in several seasons.
Even though it is a little difficult to negotiate with Sprus officials, Bayern Munich will not give up easily and will continue to chase until they really get the player they are targeting.
About releasing Kane to Manchatr United it's obviously not possible because this is a rival club which is very influential in the long term and for me if releasing a mainstay player to a rival club it is a very bad decision like killing the club itself

Yeah not a surprise here. Saudi league doesn't have restrictions like FFP so naturally they will try to sign players when they have the deep pockets. Al-Hilal would have been topping the charts by a big margin if Mbappe move would have been sealed. BTW I am surprised that other Saudi clubs haven't made it into the list.

With the flow of players leaving for the Saudi League and the inflationary pressure the Saudis are putting on European clubs, UEFA may be interested in bringing Saudi Arabia into their organization (in order to force the FFP on them). It would be a 'strange' event, but I don't see how else UEFA can defend against Saudi financial expansion - the financial situation of many clubs in Europe is very bad, but because of the Saudis they are getting worse.

[beerlover]

TBH, Im a Bayern Munich fan but I'm a little doubtful about this transfer. I mean, even though rumors say that Munich has had a meeting with Tottenham officials to talk about Harry Kane, all of that will be in vain because I know Tottenham don't have a reliable player anymore to be able to let Kane go. on the one hand in the summer there will be tough competition in the EPL so Spurs themselves need a player like Harry Kane so it is very difficult to let go of this star player unless they have a replacement first after selling Kane.
because it's a little visible that Tottenham belief in extending Harry Kane is much greater if you look at these rumors Tottenham still have the option of extending the contract with Kane.

I am not a Bayern fan, I mean I like them, but I am not german and live there, not that type of fan, just from far away, find them entertaining. However, even I do not see this deal as a good one. He is not young anymore and it will certainly result with people losing a ton of money if they are not careful.

I have to point out that this is going to probably end up with a situation where it is not going to be that easy, we need to make sure that we see this as something totally different. Kane getting that much money plus Spurs getting that much money means Bayern will not have too much money left. And that could result with them not financially in great situation if they don't win the title and also do well in UCL as well.

In case this happens we are most likely to see Saudi Arabian teams making any kind of transfers they would like coming to an end. This can keep the balance for the competition as well. Otherwise I can't imagine how strong those teams can be. Despite FFP I wouldn't expect Saudi Arabia to feel worried about this. Because the quality level of their league can increase quite much thanks to this. Saudi teams can still continue to build a strong team by not violating FFP rules on one hand.

However European teams can start to be more competitive against them about salary offers to players at least thanks to this.

Onana to Man UTD is something the united fans are happy about but with last night performance can they ever say they're happy to see him let go 2 goals into his post? Sometimes we feel what we have is the problem sometimes it isn't, Onana is one good goalie every team would love to get but can he surpass David de Gea? They let the skipper go thinking they can get a replacement, as it is the problem is not the goalie I feel is the defense line, they can't protect the goalkeeper and the keeper can't rely on those back 4.
 So I think David de Gea is a defender on his own and he doesn't have that assurance that he have defenders to protect him, as for Onana he better think of a better way to follow those defenders if not he'll be a disappointment to himself and the fans.

It's too early to judge Onana let alone to compare him with David De Gea who has been at Manchester United for a very long time, every new player definitely needs adaptation in his new team and it's true that Onana's first appearance was a little disappointing with the Manchester United team but I still don't doubt it, he is a quality goalkeeper and I'm sure he will definitely show it later when the season is underway or in the next few matches with Manchester United.

IMO, it's not a matter of being able to surpass De Gea or not, but how Onana makes the saves properly and that is his job. after all, this was a friendly match. after all, it doesn't have a very significant impact on the team as a whole. both teams, did not play to their full strength. because it was feared, they would be injured.

Talking about Onana, even though in the match against Madrid he conceded 2 goals, he also made 3 saves, 51 touches, 39 accurate passes and several other statistical records, referring to several sources that became my references, Onana's statistical value is quite good. not even bad despite conceding 2 goals. Onana has done a good job, Madrid's first goal, Onana lost one step out to keep out a flick from Bellingham. but at least, referring to the available statistical data. Onana plays as it should.
IMO, United fans don't need to worry too much, that this goalkeeper has a capacity that doesn't need to be doubted. defeat against Madrid, did not make him despair. it can actually encourage him, so that he is even better. after all, Onana also needs chemistry with her teammates. So, I think all of this is normal.

It is too early for Mbappe to go Saudi Arabia in this time of his career,  honestly going to Saudi Arabia won't be any important to his career and I know him Mbappe won't even make that mistake of going to Saudi Arabia because it is not the best for now. Mbappe still needs to build his career in the European league. Real Madrid are still very much interested in Mbappe and Real Madrid will be his destination . I think Real Madrid will be the best place for Mbappe to be .

It seems Mbappe has made up his mind not to join Saudi club this summer. It’s unreasonable that a young talented player like Mbappe will want to go to a league that’s just starting to gain recognition. Ehat Mbappe needs at this time is trophies and recognition as the world best. All Saudi Arabia can offer Mbappe is money (a lot of money btw) at the cost of his future. Mbappe knows this and at this point I also feel Real Madrid will be the final destination for Kylian Mbappe.

I think Chelsea should just call their bluff and walk away… but knowing who Boehly is, his pride won’t let him. Honestly it’s clear to see how much Brighton want for him. Chelsea need to stop wasting time with these pointless bids. They have spent too much time on this to be doing this. Because to me, it looks like Brighton doesn't want to sell him or they are just playing some stupid game with the bids to see if they can get more.

So, I think all of this is normal.

I don't like judging new players with just a pre-season match Onana is a very good goalkeeper and he proved it to everyone in the last Champions League finals with his good performance and i think that's Manchester united got him, I don't see why people should be comparing Onana with Degea with they're both good in several aspects of their position David Degea might be a very good shot stopper but have made several errors and does not know how to handle the ball with his feet, while Onana might not be too good in shot stopping but he had some saves in the match against Realmadrid and is very composed when it comes to playing with his feet, the accuracy and ability in making good passes with both feet make him very outstanding, he's also able to make passes that could lead to a counter and at making passes from the build up, which is why Ten Hag got him because they've been together in Ajax and he would easily understand his style of play.
 The Manchester united teams look strong and ready for next season but they're still some areas that they need to look into if they want to have a good performance next season, fans should worry more about getting a top 9 instead of worry about Onana over a match from the pre-season which is not even his debut.

Cut the Crap!

Andrea Onana is a great Shot Stopper for Manchester United last night and will also be more better when the new season does kicks off.
I'm convinced you didn't watch the game last night, all you did was read comments and negative feedbacks from twitter and wherever you get you information.
It was a good time for David De Gea to leave, though I never liked the way he was kept in the dark over a new deal with Manchester United.

What's irks me right now is the fact that you just judged Onana from the very first game he's ever for Manchester United. You're indeed poor at analysis.
Did you get to watch the last game of the season for Manchester United? As they faced Manchester City and lost, David De should have at least made better effort to get the ball shot by IIkay Gundogan.

Not every player would play for a club because of the hugh sum of salaries at stake. Massive salaries are never an issue for the Frenchman; of course, he wants to win the UEFA Champions League with PSG, but it appears unattainable, and he would be required to search for another way out and move an increased-profile team capable of winning significant trophies. Kylian Mbappe is a great name at PSG and a football talent. He earned his viewpoints in football, therefore transferring to Saudi clubs was not in the cards; instead, he would want to be very careful while playing for European clubs.

However European teams can start to be more competitive against them about salary offers to players at least thanks to this.

Even if Saudi clubs don't come close to the European average in terms of football strength, they are already hurting European clubs financially. It would be wise for UEFA to propose such an exchange: Saudi clubs get tickets to the Champions League, but for this they begin to comply with the FFP (although it will be very specific in any case, because some Saudi Arabian TV channel can buy the rights to show the championship for more than for showing the Premier League).

Some of the latest reports say that he rejected a super crazy offer from an Arab club even though PSG had agreed but it seems Mbappe still doesn't want to leave the Europa and even if there is a sanction where he will be added to the problem by PSG by not being played at PSG and left alone he will definitely choose it seems.

The feud between PSG and Mbappe is getting bigger now and it seems that sooner or later Mbappe will definitely leave now with the current conditions, especially with the contract that is almost up and with the condition that PSG has failed to persuade this player.
On the other hand, this is also an opportunity for clubs who want Mbappe's services. Madrid couldn't be far and will still be dragged into this drama. some time ago Liverpool also joined it's just that Liverpool's chances are very small to hunt for this player.

Do you think Mbappe prefers to get the huge money from Saudi than realizing his dream to play with Real Madrid?
If you're following the news, you must know that Mbappe only wants to move to Real Madrid only, he rejected the offer from the Saudi club. I believe Mbappe still focuses on his career, money isn't everything for him. In the last season, he already decided to choose money from PSG, he ever rejected Real Madrid offer. I assume he will be no longer to choose money, he even reject the contract extension offered by PSG. I heard the rumor that Real Madrid already got a personal agreement with Mbappe. It means, the problem is only about the transfer fees, it is between Real Madrid and PSG management. I am sure, finally PSG will accept the offer from Real Madrid.

By the way, when he played in SPL, I'm sure his career will be decreasing. SPL is not as competitive as Europe competitions, it can reduce the interest of European clubs. So, his market value is probably decreasing a lot during playing in SPL. I think Mbappe is aware about this, he will stay in Europe with any reason.

🚨 Chelsea’s 4th Moises Caicedo proposal to be turned down by Brighton was £75m + £5m add-ons. #BHAFC do not want to sell despite midfielder’s wish to go. #CFC also considering alternative options, including #LFC target Romeo Lavia @TheAthleticFC #SaintsFC

The transfer market is now absolutely ridiculous, every club now overvalues their players just to make more money from the team that wants to sign them. Caicedo is a brilliant player, but i don't know why Brighton are still holding on to him when the player has made his intentions to leave known to them, they ought to take the money Chelsea is offering and use it to buy a couple of players that won't cost them too much money. I think Brighton are being greedy here (considering how much they signed Caicedo), and i think it is wise if Chelsea pull out of the deal and look for other alternatives.

People compare too soon. Onana and De Gea are apples and oranges. Both goalkeepers have different techniques, training, and team relationships. We're comparing a Manchester United veteran to a rookie. Fair? Not likely. Onana showed promise in Madrid. He plays from the back, catches high balls, and leads his teammates. The kid's guts are rare. Goalkeeping isn't about competing. Do your job, make those plays, and rally the squad when needed.
