⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[SatoPrincess]

Spending a whooping amount of Rasmus Hojlund who barely 20 years is a bad idea. He's a youngster and Atalanta valued him to be very expensive, that's just the terrible idea between these Seria A clubs. They ways offered players at hugh sum because these players are hyped. Manchester united is ready to pay €85million for the Denmark international, the deal slightly to be completed. Erik Ten Hag is ready to bring in the new striker, he's good and knows basically how to position in front of goal, signing such a long-term contract is beneficial for the red devils. 

Manchester United are very keen on sealing this deal after reaching an agreement with Atalanta for Rasmus Hojlund on a five year deal until 2028 with options to extend until 2029. Manchester will be happy to get their target signed and ready before the season kicksoff but I really feel the price tag for him is much, I expected something between 45 to 55 million but in terms of player quality and age I think it’s a good signing for Manchester United.

James Rodriguez transferred to Sao Paulo. I thought he was older, he was only 32. His career has been on the decline since he left Everton for Al Rayyan in 2021. He was transferred to the Premier League while playing for Real Madrid, he always played in bad clubs after Everton. He last played for Olympiakos in Greece. He stayed only one season there. I don't know why he changes teams every season and can't hold on to the clubs he goes to. He was once legendary, but now he doesn't seem to be performing as expected. In every transfer period, the possibility of him coming to the Turkish league was talked about, we didn't hear such news this season.

We hear the same names every season in the Turkish press. James Rodriguez was one of them. I think this is a game of managers. I think they cooperated with the press to market the football players who cannot play in the elite clubs of Europe to our clubs. On the other hand, I think James Rodriguez has always had an unstable performance. His goal against Uruguay in the 2014 World Cup was fantastic. Then he transferred to Real Madrid. But his performance there fell short of expectations. And finally, as expected, he transferred to many football teams like a traveller. I'm pretty sure James Rodriguez made a lot of money.

I've already said that the bid for Harry Maguire is more business-oriented and I'm not really interested in continuing to discuss why Manchester United don't want to let Maguire go because we're in the midst of welcoming our target which is a sticker and that will be between Manchester United and Rasmus Hojlund.

Hojlund himself personally really wanted to join and strengthen Manchester United but was held back due to the agreement with Atalanta who wanted a higher price than Manchester United offered and within 16 hours ago via Romano's twitter, we got the news that an agreement with Atalanta has been made so this is would be great news for us as Manchester United supporters for an additional €70m.

Last season he only played 16 times at Mamchester United, a very significant decrease in playing opportunities in Erik's coaching era, because the previous season he always got a lot of minutes to play with 30 appearances. I think I can already what will happen in the next season, that is, there will not be many more opportunities he will get, unless he can improve his performance so that the coach can give confidence.

He came when Manchester United was still being coached by Ole and there were not many choices of center defenders. Naturally, he gets enough playing minutes so that Gareth Southgate still puts his name into the England national team squad. Different trainers have different strategies. Erik ten Hag and Ole are two coaches who carry different strategies with the same goals. We know Erik with his firm decisions towards players, anchor Maguire, Cristiano Ronaldo is not forgiven when he violates.

Is there a desire to urge Mamchester UNited to sell him immediately? I think he should do it, because his position is very threatened.

If your question is directed at me, the answer is selling immediately to save his career. But the push for Manchester United and Erik tem Hag to sell him, I can't answer.

[Raflesia]

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.

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.

Yep, his salary is 9.8 million for a season and it should be 20 million offer can still be considered if Manchester United does not want him but maybe in this case they want to minimise losses because we know that the purchase of Maguire is very expensive and Manchester United does not want to release it very cheaply.
But if you look at his current performance, it is actually difficult to give a high price to Maguire whose performance in the last few seasons looks very ordinary and actually decreased greatly when he was at Manchester United.
This is like a dilemma indeed but if I can judge I think the offer price from Westham can still be considered if indeed Ten Hag does not include Maguire in his plans.

[fuguebtc]

Harry Maguire was recently stripped of the Manchester United captaincy by Erik ten Hag and must now decide whether to complete the move, with West Ham interested. I believe Manchester United will complete this transfer. They no longer use him. They want to replace him with another player immediately. They are looking to see if another club will offer a higher price.
Maguire is under tremendous pressure at MU. Whenever he came out to hold the ball, boos rang out, and the Manchester United fans no longer wanted him to stay. Maguire is young, only 30 years old. He should leave this transfer window, find a new club and get back in shape.

I don't think Manchester United will let Maguire go for 20 million and complete the deal with West Ham. The price clause offered by West Ham is far below Manchester United's expectations, even though as we know Maguire is getting worse and no one wants him there anymore including Manchester United fans. Seeing these conditions I am quite concerned to see Maguire who is constantly under pressure, but there is nothing he can do other than leave because there is no place for him anymore at Manchester United. Manchester United want 35-40 million for any club interested in Maguire. If another club bids more than West Ham then Manchester United will not hesitate to sign a deal. He is 30 years old, old enough for him to be in the EPL and I think he will most likely go to the Arab League if one of the Arab clubs makes an offer, for his age most of them would choose to go there with the aim of increasing their finances. I'll still be waiting for an update on Maguire.

Letting Harry Maguire go for only 20 million is certainly a big loss for the club. But I also do not believe that there are any other better options to be honest. Because even if they get another offer for him, I don’t think any club is going to offer more than 24/25 million for him. And by not selling him, or stalling, they are probably going to run out of options. I think it will be better for Manchester United to let him go. At this 20 million and not paying him the salary that they are paying already is a win situation for Manchester United in my opinion.

It is probably true that if they get an offer from the Saudi league, they are certainly going to get more money. But is there going to be an offer from the Saudi league? At the moment they are trying to get popular players in the league. And I don’t think Harry Maguire fits the description to be honest.

[rendravolt]

Defense is one of the things that Chelsea must improve next season and they have reached an agreement with Axel Disasi from AS Monaco. It is reported that the contract duration is 5 years with a total cost of 45 million euros and this will be a new strength for Chelsea to be able to correct last season's mistakes which often lost the ball in the defensive area which made them often lose. Axel Disasi will also replace Wesley Fofana who was injured some time ago. We'll see how Chelsea will be under Pochettino's leadership later and hope they can do their best.

[arallmuus]

Letting Harry Maguire go for only 20 million is certainly a big loss for the club. But I also do not believe that there are any other better options to be honest. Because even if they get another offer for him, I don’t think any club is going to offer more than 24/25 million for him.

It is actually not a bad decision to actually let him go for that amount or even to loan him out. First of all, he has high weekly wage and it looks like he is going to stay on the bench for most of the time next season so I dont see why should we keep him in the team only for him to be a bench warmer. Aside from that, everyone knows how bad he is therefore there is no reason to actually keep him in the team

Actually for me 20m is indeed a price that make a loss but with poor performance Harry Maguire deserves that price because indeed Maguire no longer worth keeping because he doesn have a good contribution to the club and making the decision to use him as a backup just wasting money to pay him.
Slightly baffled by the goal of United management but I have a feeling this is something they are up to but the terrified Harry Maguire fans are throwing tantrums again like never before.
Or maybe the United coach just trying to provide an opportunity to fix all of Maguire bad things last season but it seems like it will only be in vain.
If we look at it from my point of view, it seems that Harry Maguire himself actually want to move to another club to try his luck at another club

Harry Maguire did not have good games on the field last season, his mistakes were always in the highlight, and he had a suicide goal that was quite burdensome for the team, the price was fairly expensive with unstable performance. If in bandrol at a low price is a natural thing at this time, or lent it may be better than being maintained with such conditions, even though you have to swallow losses.

On the other hand financially is difficult, but the team needs to take action that should provide benefits to the team from its performance, I think this decision is the right decision rather than providing blind salary to him.

The issue is not allowing Maguire to leave Man Utd for West Ham, but would he agree a pay-cut before agreeing a personal term with West Ham? Even if West Ham make an improve offer more than 20 million, because the club won't be able to pay as much as he earn in Man Utd with regards to his weekly wages, though a regular playing time will be guaranteed at West Ham which will help his career in England National team, though I agreed that 20 million is too small for a player of his calibre, however if West Ham increases their offer Man Utd should consider it because staying at Man Utd will limit his playing time, Varane, Martinez, Lindelof and Evans are favorites of Erik ten Hag in the central defence.

.

I think Harry Maguire did not deserve a position in Manchester United’s defense following his poor performances and all the losses he has caused the team. Although he tried his best when he arrived at the club, he became a flop in the back four of Manchester United. Therefore, any amount they sold him for is better for them than keeping him to keep causing lapses in the team.

I am very sure that Manchester United will never regret letting him go for such an amount because they know that there are not too many teams bidding for him, so a move to West Ham United for 20 million is not a bad move.

It is probably true that if they get an offer from the Saudi league, they are certainly going to get more money. But is there going to be an offer from the Saudi league? At the moment they are trying to get popular players in the league. And I don’t think Harry Maguire fits the description to be honest.

I doubt if such an offer will come for Harry Maguire, whose performance was very poor last season.
Saudi League teams are looking for popularity, which is why they are signing players they think have already made names in Europe so that it will make their fans concentrate on their league.

Is Marcelo Vieira a good signing for Saudi Arabia's Al-Nassr?

The Saudi Arabian giants Al-Nassr have again taken an interest in former Real Madrid left back Marcelo Vieira to bring them their former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo. to make their duos again with their best understanding of each other. 
Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcelo Vieira formed a massive partnership with each other at Real Madrid. Marcelo Vieira and Cristiano Ronaldo made 332 appearances with a combined 33 goals. So is it possible for them to reunite again? Give us your thoughts.

At the moment they are trying to get popular players in the league. And I don’t think Harry Maguire fits the description to be honest.

As a club that has been in this business for many years and multiple decades, I believe they are in a good position to know that having a player among them has some stretch of risk, it is unavoidable and that is what Maguire's fate has shown them, they can't deny that Maguire is no longer useful to them because even Erik has to remove the captain band from him to another player as that signifies a good leadership and we have not seen anything significant from Maguire, they better let him go while the offer is still reasonable, Maguire is a public figure that every club knows his poor performance, they wouldn't bid more than this price.

Saudi Arabia pro leagues know what they are doing, some people think the Arabians like Al-Hilal and others are just throwing money to buy worthless European players but they know why they are bringing some to their clubs. There are players that have spent their entire life in Laliga and Premier League with good fame, going to Saudi Arabia may be another means to remain relevant but to the clubs, their presence here is for recognition and an increase in sales of shirts and tickets. Maguire is a player that is known for scoring own goals, I bet even the underdeveloped clubs wouldn't break the bank to have him among them.

[rahmad2nd]

News from the Mirror and Twitter that Liverpool and PSG opened talks about Kylian Mbappe, it's about his loan status for 1 season after an offer from Al-Hilal rejected by Mbappe.

Is this a solution for PSG to earn money? There is no mention of how the total price will be installed if it is true that the loan status to Liverpool occurs, this seems to be still in the discussion stage and can happen or not.
It is already certain that Mbappe next season will be at Real Madrid on a free transfer.

I wonder who the initiator of these negotiations (if they really take place)? PSG's interest is understandable - they are trying to minimize the losses from the fact that Mbappe remains on their balance sheet. I don’t understand what Mbappe’s interest in this deal could be and I don’t understand what interesting things Liverpool can offer to interest Mbappe.

This loan deal for one year serves two purposes, It will bring in cash for psg, also allowing the 24-year-old player to complete his dream move to Real Madrid next year.
It's simple that Mbappe has no interest in this deal and will firmly reject it. His sole focus is on moving to Real Madrid once his time at psg comes to an end.
So, these types of news articles regarding Mbappe may be designed solely click bait and not trust-worthy, in this case not to take this seriously.

I thought this was just gossip, moreover I didn't find it in some of the media that I used to refer to. there is a theory that makes more sense to me, actually PSG have to let Mabppe go if they want to be safe in the following seasons. because after all, PSG have to sell some of their players because they have poured a lot of money. if not, it is very likely that PSG will be subject to FFP sanctions. Mbappe's transfer saga drama is not only about money, star players and keeping Mbappe with new contacts, in fact it is more complicated than I thought.

We know very well, PSG failed in their mega star project, they did not get the Champions League trophy even though they had many star players and spent a lot of money. if Mbappe leaves as a free agent in 2024, it won't just be a financial loss for them. however, they are more likely to be subject to FFP sanctions. like it or not, with this scenario PSG have to sell it. that's why, I said that the Mbappe transfer saga drama will be very tough.

I think in this case it's not a matter of whether it's good or not but whether it's still feasible or not and for the size of the Arab League and with the exposure of Marcelo of course it's still quite feasible.
He's still 35 years old and I think he's still very useful in lower competitions than Europe so in that sense I think he's still capable enough to compete.
On the other hand, he will also reunite with Ronaldo and of course that's still expected for me who really liked Marcelo's style of play when he was in Madrid.
Although in this case there must be a lot of decline in performance but to be in the Arab competition I think Marcelo is still capable.

But I still haven't found much news about Marcelo going to Al Nassr until now.

I think it is very much possible for them to reunite again with each other. I think we should remember that the Saudi club actually wanted Cristiano Ronaldo really bad. I heard the news that when Cristiano Ronaldo decided to go to Al nassr the player who actually had the number seven jersey really did not want to give up the number for Cristiano Ronaldo. The club actually terminated his contract and gave Cristiano Ronaldo number seven jersey. So I think we can say that Cristiano Ronaldo does have some influence over the decisions that are generally taken by the club.

So there is always a chance that if Cristiano Ronaldo wants he might actually influence the club in bringing in the player that he actually wants. Naturally, this is only speculation on my part; however, I firmly believe that this possibility holds merit.

I'll still be waiting for an update on Maguire.

The situation with Harry Maguire at Manchester United brings up important questions about the risks that come with player success. Maguire's performance has gotten worse, and it looks like Manchester United will decide to part ways with him soon. West Ham's offer of $20 million may not match the club's valuation, but given Maguire's present form, is any other team likely to offer much more? Maybe the best thing for them to do is to let Maguire go while the deal is still good. Possible deals from the Arab League could be more lucrative, but they depend on Maguire's popularity, which seems doubtful right now. Its a scary situation, and we're looking forward to hearing more

[ILuckyGuyI]

PSG are trying to make a move for Ousmane Dembele and complete the transfer as soon as possible according to the source below.

The source: https://www.espn.co.uk/football/story/_/id/38087818/ousmane-dembele-set-seal-psg-transfer-barcelona-sources

Dembele has a release clause which is worth around €50m now. However it is said that this opportunity is closing on Monday. PSG had better act faster if they want to seal this deal. Barcelona's hands are tied in this situation and they will hope for Dembele to choose to stay. However his contract is already ending in one year. Xavi really likes to have him at his team so maybe he might affect his decision positively somehow.

I heard about a swap deal between Dembele and Neymar but I don't see it in the news. I didn't find what Dembele wants but it appears that a move to PSG is close and serious so Barcelona captain start talking about it and say that Dembele should remain in the team since it has the best squad.
Such move will facilitate the departure of Mbappe a bit since the situation in PSG doesn't seem to be perfect with a loss even though it is a friendly one vs Osaka.

Such swap deal would be amazing for Barcelona on paper. Because Neymar is a way more skilled player than Dembele that's for sure. But even if it is a possible deal it is still risky for them on one hand. Because Neymar is an injury-prone player as everyone knows. He missed so many games last season also.

Besides is such swap deal even possible between Barcelona and PSG now? Because there is a huge difference between the amount of salaries these players have. While Dembele's salary is €12m yearly it is €56m for Neymar. Maybe this might cause some problems with FFP rules even if Barcelona manage to meet Neymar's demands.

Or maybe the United coach just trying to provide an opportunity to fix all of Maguire bad things last season but it seems like it will only be in vain.

Pretty sure Ten Haag is not doing that, otherwise he wont be giving short term contract to Johny Evans. He tried to get rid of Maguire by giving that short term contract so any decent offer for Maguire will most likely be accepted. The fact that until now that there isnt any team reported to be giving official bids for Maguire totally shows how bad he currently is

[Asiska02]

Letting Harry Maguire go for only 20 million is certainly a big loss for the club. But I also do not believe that there are any other better options to be honest. Because even if they get another offer for him, I don’t think any club is going to offer more than 24/25 million for him. And by not selling him, or stalling, they are probably going to run out of options. I think it will be better for Manchester United to let him go. At this 20 million and not paying him the salary that they are paying already is a win situation for Manchester United in my opinion.

The best option is to sell Maguire at the 20 million price they’re offering. We all know that Harry Maguire has lost form in the pitch completely, this is among the factors that Manchester United are willing to let him go and also had him gave the captain position to Bruno Fernandes. If I was in Manchester United shoes, I’ll gladly accept the money to further not to incur more loss at a later time when his value will have been reduced more than now.

Defense is one of the things that Chelsea must improve next season and they have reached an agreement with Axel Disasi from AS Monaco. It is reported that the contract duration is 5 years with a total cost of 45 million euros and this will be a new strength for Chelsea to be able to correct last season's mistakes which often lost the ball in the defensive area which made them often lose. Axel Disasi will also replace Wesley Fofana who was injured some time ago. We'll see how Chelsea will be under Pochettino's leadership later and hope they can do their best.

Pochettino keeps strengthening Chelsea ahead of next season premier league. We have seen how he has been doing well in the preseason games and this has raised the hopes of many Chelsea supporters that the team will do better next season. By adding new players to the defensive line is a great idea to make the team stronger and unbreakable to penetrate in during attacking games on them. Many people already have high expectations for them, I hope they don’t disappoint later.
