⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[nara1892]

Manchester City manager Pep explained that they really want to keep him, but they have no choice since they need finance due to some problems they are having, and also said that more will come before the end of the transfer window.

Maybe we already know that Riyad Mahrez is one of the quite important players who helped progress and before that he was one of the key players in Manchester City's front line. Guardiola has tried to keep hold of him but recently it became official that Manchester City had agreed to the bid made by the Arab club, and it was reported that the deal was worth 30 million. Previously Manchester City had rejected the offer, but maybe now the management has returned to seek the results of their considerations, namely agreeing to let him go with a value of 30 million for the club from Saudi Arabia. The lack of playing time was one of the reasons for his departure, and naturally Guardiola is not too ambitious to keep him because on the other hand he is already 32 years old, and we probably know how players perform when they are old. This is most likely the reason why Guardiola didn't give him full time so now he is willing to let him go for a price below his previous purchase.

He admitted that it will be difficult to find a good replacement for Maharez because he is a talented player who is very important to their team, and the players they are willing to sign are not yet confirmed.

Well, maybe it's quite difficult when someone has to find potential replacements for players who have made a big contribution to their club. But on the other hand Guardiola is a great coach who can take every opportunity in every condition, I believe in him that he will be able to find a suitable replacement for Riyad Mahrez, and I think before Guardiola finally agrees a deal in this regard, it is very likely that he has already found a candidate. the right one to be his replacement, but other than that we'll see.

Manchester City have lost a very important player this summer to Saudi Arabian league. Riyad Mahrez is one key player for Guardiola’s side. Al-Ahli paid 30million for the player, which I think is a fair price for Riyad Mahrez at age 32. Manchester City can count this deal as a good deal for the club. This move is the perfect move for Mahrez because joining any other team in the EPL or other leagues will not be as profitable as how much he will be earning at Saudi Arabia.

Considering his age, Riyad Mahrez may have decided to change his club because he knows that age will have some effect on his performance, which will see him not being kept in the starting XI for most of a season. Better to perform from XI. Riyad Mahrez played an important role in winning the Champions League for Manchester City last season. I think 30 million is a fair price for him considering his performance and age. First İlkay Gündoğan, then Riyad Mahrez left Manchester City and went to another club, then maybe Kyle Walker will change the club, so if the players from Manchester City continue to leave, then these things are a lot of concern for the team.

Trust Guordiola a perfect replacement is available to replace Riyad Mahrez and no player is above the club there is always an alternative if the club is managed by an experience manager, honestly £30million paid by Al-Ahly is a very good deal for Man City for a player who already in his peak, Riyad Mahrez had already won all the major trophies with his former club and it's time to go earn some extra wages in Saudi league a new destination for aging European based players who made a switch to facilitate their retirement, I think players  above 32 years like Riyad Mahrez should utilize the new opportunity offered by Saudi Arabian clubs.

Even if you look at some of the current news after a few weeks ago it was busy about Dusan's news with Chelsea at this time it just seemed to disappear.
The victim now is Lukaku because we know that when Dusan became Chelsea's target, the exchange option with Lukaku + additional money was very busy being reported and Lukaku was also ready to go to Juventus which made Inter disappointed with what Lukaku did, but now there is no news anymore and Lukaku's fate is also unclear now.
Currently Chelsea is still eyeing Elye Wahi as one of the options and his 24 million offer was rejected because Montpellier still wants 30 million for this young striker.

I am having a hard time calling any of these guys a victim. The reason why Lukaku left Inter Milan for Chelsea was money and then he couldn't perform there. Maybe he was too bad or maybe he didn't get a real chance, it doesn't matter. But what certainly worked out just fine is the monthly paycheck. He was never forced to leave Inter Milan and he could have stayed if he wanted to, but the money was too good and he decided to risk the place he had in the Inter team and failed to prevail in the Chelsea team. Victimizing him is wrong and he is not the only player who makes a mistake and later blames others for his own situation.

Actually if a few weeks earlier Lukaku was still hoping to be at Inter and wasn't too keen on Juventus I think Inter would still be trying to make some sort of deal with Chelsea because we know that back then they were only 05 million adrift because Inter wanted 25 million for Lukaku but Chelsea were still hoping with their 35 million and it was actually possible to bring in 30 million but when Lukaku tried to join Juventus then it seemed like a waste and now he will still be adrift in obscurity.
If in the end he still returns to Chelsea and no one wants the possibility for the Arab club to re-enter for Lukaku I think is wide open even though some time ago Lukaku had refused.

It looks like the drama between Manchester United and Rasmus Højlund is coming to an end. Looking this news the possibility of him going to Manchester United seems to be a reality.
Is the 60 million expected by Atalanta really what Manchester United can afford in the end?

[rendravolt]

I think this situation is quite confusing and in my opinion, even if Harry Maguire stays at Manchester United, of course it will only have a bad impact on the squad, but on the other hand, even if he has to leave, Manchester United has set a fairly high price for Harry Maguire. Of course, any team will consider the offer if the £20 million fee is still rejected by Manchester United.

The £20M bid by Westham United was too small and Manchester United had to turn it down. This is a player that cost the reds devils over £80 millon to bring to Old Trafford, so they would be hoping to a fee in the region of £35M - £40M based on the decline in Harry Maguire's performance. So far it's only Westham that has shown interest in bringing the England international to Upton Park but it's rumoured that Chelsea and Tottenham are also interested in his signature. Maguire has been striped off the captaincy which is an indication that he has no future at the club and an exit from Old Trafford looks very likely.

The price range you mentioned is quite reasonable for Harry Maguire, but for West Ham spending that kind of money is not worth it for Harry Maguire. I think if we look at the current market value it is at 20 million euros and the maximum possible fee that West Ham will offer is around 25 million euros and not more than 30 million euros. Actually I also don't understand why West Ham is interested in bidding for Harry Maguire, while other teams like Chelsea and Spurs are unlikely to make an offer for him.

The reason for the removal of the Manchester United captain clearly illustrates the future of Harry Maguire at Old Trafford and although we often hear Erik ten Hag say that "Harry Maguire is an important part of the club", in reality his name is starting to be dropped from the main squad after the poor performance he has show a few seasons ago.

Manchester City are constantly rejuvenating their squad and they are very consistent about it. That's why they didn't sign a new contract with Ilkay Gundogan. When they had the opportunity to sell Riyad Mahrez, they did it immediately. I think the club managers have the right strategy in this regard. Instead of acting emotionally, they are acting professionally and putting the interests of Manchester City above everything else. Maybe it is this kind of professionalism that has allowed them to dominate the Premier League for years. I think they are doing the right thing.

Maguire's performance when his donning the shirt of England national team jersey has been better than when he's playing for Manchester United and that's why I think he needs the right management and environment to actually give his best

Maguire has been trying to show sign of improvement in his game from the games Manchester United have played so far, but I think the fans of Manchester United have lost faith in him, and even from the game where he played last, he was "booed" by the fans whenever he had the ball. If he is going to improve, Manchester United is no longer the place and right environment for him to do so. He needs to be involved in many games to improve, and next season, that is not something he is promised in Manchester United.

Everybody lost confidence in Maguire even himself. I honestly dont know who would sign him because he has been terrible in last couple of years. Man Utd wants to get rid of him but not for a small price they still want some money back from once they bought him.

Chelsea are yet to decide whether Lesley Ugochukwu will be part of Mauricio Pochettino's first-team squad or leave on loan; 19-year-old midfielder could join Strasbourg, the Ligue 1 side in which Chelsea invested this summer; Ugochukwu arrival continues revamp of Blues' midfield

https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12930000/chelsea-transfer-news-blues-agree-23-1m-deal-to-sign-lesley-ugochukwu-from-rennes

Chelsea has signed him from rennes. He was a good midfielder and he can also a back up plan once chelsea will unable to sign caicedo from brighton. Chelsea is now focusing in hiring young talented player.
I think that he shall not be loaned. He has been signed league 1. It will be dumb if chelsea will send him as a loan to the strasbourg. I hope chelsea will consider putting him in the main squad or at least he can become a back up.

I saw that if he has so many potential to be a superstar in the future. He is a valuable player with underrated rating.

The price of 20 million will not be considered by Manchester United even if Maguire does not show signs of success at Manchester United.
Currently it is rumored that Manchester United set a price of 50 million for a Maguire which actually seems unlikely there is also a club that wants
I think the possibility of selling 30-35 is still possible but for 50 million it is very difficult for a Maguire.

At the moment, actually I think Manchester United can still release this player but of course the price is reduced because if it is maintained it will only waste a lot of money with this kind of performance.

Well this is very reasonable and indeed I also don't think that Manchester United will release him for 20 million, this is clearly too low for them because considering the amount they have spent to bring him four times higher than that nominal which is around 80 million. As we know that Maguire's performance is now getting worse and there is no sign of progress from his performance, this greatly impacts Manchester United in every match. This is quite confusing for Manchester United but indeed the only option they have to choose is to sell him as soon as possible and not for 20 million as West Ham offered. Selling him for 35-40 million might still make sense for Ten Hag because at least they won't lose too much. At that price I think there are still a lot of clubs who will bid more than West Ham, and now Manchester United are just waiting for him but not for a long time because as you mentioned if Maguire is there longer it will just be a waste of money for Manchester United.

I don't expect Manchester United to release football's most expensive player for just 20 million pounds just because of he's considered to have significantly declined from the kind of defender he was as the the he was signed to the club.
Maguire's performance when his donning the shirt of England national team jersey has been better than when he's playing for Manchester United and that's why I think he needs the right management and environment to actually give his best

It's exactly what I said before, that it's a big loss to let him go for 20 million. Just like you, I also feel that Maguire needs the right environment and he didn't get it at Mamchester United, not because Manchester United didn't welcome him well, but indeed some players are more sensitive about the environment, whether it's high pressure, not having a duet partner like what he expected, or something else.
In England, he played so well that we can tell the difference between him wearing the Mamchester United jersey and the England national team, which means there is something wrong.

With the way things are going on in the club, I think Manchester United are listening to offers for Maguire this summer but are not actively trying to sell him. Because I understands that he also wants to stay and fight for his place, despite being replaced as Club captain this week by Bruno Fernandes. Because I have no idea what this guy is worth. If fair value is £20 million, they should take the money and be done with it.

I think the 20 million euro offer for Harry Maguire is good. Because there are not many clubs that want to transfer Harry Maguire and Harry Maguire's annual salary is very high. If I remember correctly, his annual salary was around 10 million euros. Furthermore, Manchester United took the team captaincy from him. Also, Erik Ten Hag didn't give Maguire many chances to play last season. I think he won't give Maguire a lot of chances in the new season either. All things considered together, I think it would be a good choice for Manchester United to sell Harry Maguire for 20 million euros.

United got Harry Maguire too for a high price. and West Ham's offer I think was clearly rejected at that price. although he won't get enough playing opportunities next season. but I still believe Harry Maguire can be Ten Hag's choice in United's defense even though he is not in the main squad. meaning Ten Hag can still use Harry Maguire as a substitute.
but maybe if West Ham or some other club made a better offer to United, it would definitely be another consideration for the club.

After all, as rumored in the German newspapers, that Kane's side had a meeting with Bayern's side. even this rumor has been confirmed by Romano in his tweet, if Kane is rumored to be willing to play with Bayern Munich. As for Manchester United, ideally he still plays in the English league competition. it's just that, Spurs don't want to let go of their star players to their rivals. after all, Man United's spending financial condition is unlikely to be sufficient to bring Kane to Old Trafford.

I think it is almost certain that Sadio Mané is going to leave Bayern Munich. I think that’s why Bayern Munich wants to improve the attacking line of the squad. So it makes much more sense for them to go after Harry Kane now. but the problem is Nottingham is going to realise that and increase the money for Harry Kane. Even if they do not increase the amount of money that they want for Harry Kane, they are certainly not going to let him leave for anything less than what they wanted, which is probably 180 million.

Theoretically, we will not doubt that with Bayern Munich Kane can win various trophies. because, he is a great player who is also very experienced even though he almost only plays for Spurs. however, it looks like he will quickly adapt to his new team. now, what matters is what the Spurs want.
We all know that Levy is adamant that he will not let his players go if they don't match the price they want. In essence, Bayern must carry out negotiations that can benefit both teams. and as Romano reports, the meeting schedule has been readjusted for this week. so, let's wait will this negotiation be final. very interesting..

I agree with you. I think they are certainly going to win trophies with Harry Kane in the team. I don’t think him trying to adapt to the new club is going to be a problem. He has a lot of experience as you said. The only problem that he might face he will probably be a little inconsistent towards the start of his career with Bayern Munich. But once he actually is gets settled within the club, and the environment, I don’t think he will have anything to worry about.

Manchester City have lost a very important player this summer to Saudi Arabian league. Riyad Mahrez is one key player for Guardiola’s side. Al-Ahli paid 30million for the player, which I think is a fair price for Riyad Mahrez at age 32. Manchester City can count this deal as a good deal for the club. This move is the perfect move for Mahrez because joining any other team in the EPL or other leagues will not be as profitable as how much he will be earning at Saudi Arabia.

At first I thought that Riyad Mahrez would go to an Arab club just a rumour. But I was quite surprised that it turned out that one of the Arab clubs, namely Al-Ahli, was really serious about getting Riyad Mahrez. According to rumors, the transfer price is indeed 30 million. but I think the numbers are much more than that. Because Riyad Mahrez is one of the important players in the Man City squad. So I was quite surprised that Man City let Riyad Mahrez easily. The first offer was immediately rejected by Man City but Al-Ahli did not take long and immediately made a second offer which immediately received a positive response from Man City.

But it is widely rumored that Riyad Mahrez will leave Man City this season. But I didn't expect that it was to the Arab club. He has achieved a lot of success with Man City. The 5 years he spent with Man City I think were amazing for his career. Looks like I should also start looking at the Arab league. which already has a lot of European players at this time.

~~

Mahrez is an important player for Manchester City, because after all he really contributed to City winning various trophies. it would be very natural for Mahrez to choose to leave, considering that Pep often rotates players which in the end reduces playing minutes for him. Even though Riyad Mahrez actually has a contract until 2025, the choice to leave is the right time for him. also, Mahrez will be 33 years old. because, sooner or later his role will be replaced by a younger player. as a result, the winger accepted an offer from Al Ahli.

IMO, a decent price at its current age. after all, he will get paid a pretty high salary with his new club. even though he no longer plays in the highest league competitions, he gets a decent fee and at the same time ends his career. with his new club Al Ahli, he will meet another star, namely Firmino, who will become his partner on the front lines. maybe, Al Ahli will be a formidable team by bringing in some of Europe's top players.
As for Manchester City, they got a decent fee in exchange for the winger joining the Saudi club. it's just that, if Kyle Walker and Bernardo Silva also leave. Pep Guariola will have a tough job to find a replacement, it will even be a tough task maintaining the Manchester City dynasty.

MU rejects it caused by the offer was still far from what MU wanted. Meguire has no place anymore in manchester united but his deal totally depends on the agreement between united and the new club that is willing to buy him.
It's not a fair value for him. I remind you that how many times meguire played last season? He was playing caused by some main defenders were injured. ETH had no choice other than let him join in the main squad but so many times he was making the club lose.
It's even worst caused by he was also making so many blunders that lead the team to the loose. It's such an unacceptable thing from him.
I would like to call this guy as king of blunder. It reminds me with de gea as well. Meguire is a flop.

For a right price some clubs might find some use. I think 25-30m is good enough for Harry Maguire but I think United expects a bit more than that given how much they invested in him couple of years ago from Leicester City. ten Haag can still find a use of him as a backup defender if situation arises.

but maybe if West Ham or some other club made a better offer to United, it would definitely be another consideration for the club.

Actually not because West Ham's offer was low, but because United did not want to release their players to opposing clubs in the same league and if this happened it would be very dangerous for United because of course Harry Maguire knew United's weaknesses which could be leaked to West Ham.
But I think Erik's decision was very wise to keep this player but only consider him a reserve player.

Just think about how out of left field it was when Riyad Mahrez decided to join Al-Ahli. It's shocking that he's decided to play in Saudi Arabia, considering how good he is. I'm not one to start debates or anything, but this seems a little off to me

That £30 million sum you mentioned seems plausible. It just feels like a bit of an understatement for a player of Mahrez's caliber. Manchester City, however, has recently been cutting costs, therefore this deal must not have been refused

Nonetheless, Mahrez's transfer has the potential to significantly alter the playing field. The Saudi Arabian league is well-known for its practice of "poaching" European players. There is a chance that more people may start paying attention to the Arab leagues now that Mahrez is a part of it. Maybe it's time for everyone to start paying attention
