⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Polkeins]

Looks like PSG will get 70-80m without bonuses and 120m euros for Neimer including bonuses and it will be the biggest sale for PSG.

Also Neymar himself should get 160 million for two years at Al-Hilal. https://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Actualites/Transferts-neymar-d-accord-avec-al-hilal/1413412
I guess this is the best option for Neymar right now. He is no longer in PSG's core, the owners are clearly not happy with him and besides Neymar himself is plagued by injuries, so it would probably be a great deal for everyone.  

I was quite surprised that in the end Neymar will go to Al-Hilal. I just read a news in the local newspaper in my country, and it seems that it is now confirmed, it is just a matter of a few hours to be announced.
And I had read just yesterday that it was almost all right for a return to Barcelona

I think it's a very good choice financially, but a very bad one to continue playing soccer at the highest level and competing in the best championships in the world.

The doors to Barcelona were closed to him a long time ago, I think Xavi himself said that the club was not ready to take Neymar, insinuating that he has long led a very strange lifestyle that prevents him from playing soccer. Neymar has been injured, traveling or playing video games more often lately than he has been on the soccer field. It is strange that someone is not afraid to take such a player, and PSG must be celebrating that they managed to earn something on him.

Neimer if not for his lifestyle could have played at the highest level for a couple more years, but now in the transition to the Saudi League, you can say that finished his soccer career.

The price for the two midfielders is almost equivalent to an existing squad of any other team. I wouldn't say football nearly died, for fear of offending people. I once said that whoever has a lot of money, he will succeed in getting players who are considered great even though the results may not necessarily match the purchase price.

True but so many things were affecting the price of players these days, just because some clubs were buying some players with crazy price and it doesn't mean if the league will be dead. I can't agree with this. The fact that if chelsea was still buying some players with cheap price as well.
The club is still using players from its own acedemic. That proves that if chelsea was signing the player to fill the important spots. Calling football nearly die is a non sense thing.
Some players need to be priced so high but this depends on the club who own the contract. Chelsea and arsenal will not buy caicedo and rice with expensive price if brighton and westham were not putting high price for those players.

Congratulations to Caicedo for choosing to accept Chelsea offer over Liverpool who have confirmed they are ready to welcome him at Anfield.

Caicedo was doing U turn at the last minutes. Chelsea already linked to the several players to complete the transfer season. Lavia and olise may come to the SB soon.

The club is still looking for a new striker at this moment. I wonder who will be going to be a candidate for temporary striker to replace nkuku which was injured.

Maybe Mbappe and his entourage are somewhat offended by Real Madrid that the club did not make any gestures at all about the player's transfer in this particular transfer window? I think that all this compromise will come down to the fact that Mbappe will extend his contract with clearly stipulated amounts of compensation so that the player does not leave for free next summer, but this does not mean at all that the player will remain at the club next season. By the way, the departure of Messi and Neymar makes Mbappe the main star of the club, despite the arrival of Usman Dembele with all due respect to him, and this can flatter Mbappe's ego and help to get in touch with the club.

Mbappe returned to training with the PSG first team after classifying his situation directly with Nasser Al Khelaifi, quoted from Romano's report. that means, there seems to have been an agreement from both sides. referring to the report by Romano earlier, the PSG president and Mbappe will discuss various options including inserting a clause for 2024. and it seems, both parties have found a win-win solution for the new deal. Unfortunately, so far there is no clear report in detail about the contents of these negotiations. but what is certain, Mbappe has returned to Luis Enrique's squad. but if I take a report from the Talk page, Kylian Mbappe told PSG that they must sign the Man City star after sensational changes to reject Liverpool, Arsenal and even Real Madrid.

Well, referring to what you said, I'm not sure, but there is a lot we can conclude in this discussion. it could be, Mbappe is offended because Real Madrid did not give any hint regarding the Mbappe transfer saga as you said. it could also, if Mbappe is under immense pressure both within his camp and outside theirs. especially considering that France has a Euro 2024 schedule, in which Mbappe must have fitness if he wants to appear and defend the national team. We can speculate according to what we think, but for now we don't have a concrete answer to the changes that have occurred in Mbappe.
For Madrid fans, take it easy because if I refer to the rumors that I read. if Madrid are willing to sign Mbappe with enough money in the summer, Mbappe has a contract to leave PSG according to a new agreement. but certainly, with its current status. that means, Madrid cannot get Mbappe for free at the end of the season.

I think the drama between Tottenham and Bayern is the best drama in the current transfer market. Because the negotiation process can arrive at the stage that is actually expected by both parties. For the Tottenham fans, of course they will be sad. But I'm sure the majority of football fans today will be happy with Kane's decision to go to Bayern.

Naturally, when Tottenham fans were disappointed at Harry Kane's decision to move to Bayern Munich because he is one of the top scorers for the club. Losing the best star at the club made some fans disappointed and even Tottenham's first Premier League match had to end in a draw against Brentford, this shows that Harry Kane is one of the important players for Tottenham.

But Kane's debut at Bayern doesn't seem to go well enough. Bayern just lost to RB Leipzig with a score of 0-3. But take it easy because the Bundesliga has not started yet. So that there is about 1 week for Kane to adapt to Bayern's game before starting the first match in the Bundesliga.

Harry Kane's debut did not go smoothly and I don't think it was entirely his fault. He was brought on in the second half by the coach and what I saw was it was the Bayern Munich defense that was so problematic, that they had to concede three goals. Now is the time for him to focus on adapting to the team, one week is enough for him to undergo training so he can play well with his teammates.

For the fans to be happy for the change, they have to be part of the change. So since they're not part of Harry Kane's change and upgrade they'll all be disappointed. He's given enough back to the club. A passionate player who really has got the club at heart. As a top notch player, he really needs silverwares to beautify his profile.

Debut Lost? At times, a step backwards is a step forward, so they should focus on what's ahead ( The bigger price )

Neymar is set to undergo his medical examination in Paris within the next few hours, before finalizing a 2-season contract with Al-Hilal. This transfer is expected to bring in just under €100 million for PSG, including bonuses. Following his medical, Neymar is anticipated to make his way to Riyadh sometime this week. I'm not surprised by this transfer, since the rumors first emerged, I was already convinced that Neymar would move to the Arab league, as his high salary makes it impossible for European clubs to sign him.

[X-ray]

AS Roma are interested to bought PSG players Renato Sanches and Leandro Paredes this because Roma want to anticipate the losing of Nemanja Matic who possibly will moved to Rennes so they immediately look for other players as the replacement of him and both players officially will leave PSG this summer because Luis Enrique will not interested anymore to used their service

My main question related to this club is, does roma have money for that? This club can't even buy a new striker as per jose mourinho's advice. Im feeling so doubt if roma has money for that. This club is so poor.
No official bid has been coming from roma. PSG will not also sell its players with cheap price. That transfer was too good to be true. It's better roma to complete its first signing for the summer transfer season first.

Reported if this transfer happened then both players will came to Roma with different scheme which mean Renato Sanches will came as loan status for 1 season and Roma have to spend 1 millions as loan fee but Roma has an option will buy Sanches at the end of loan duration and for Leandro Paredes probably Roma will buying him permanent and the price also not high approximately 6 miilions but Roma have to hurry because Galatasaray also very serious want Paredes

Let's wait for official bid from roma. I have seen this club linked to the several players no progress so far. I hope this will be real as mourinho needs a new player in the club especially central forward or mourinho will be blaming roma again.

he was very disappointed last season caused by roma was not buying the new striker. It will be so bad if roma will repeat it again. Mou will be so mad toward roma.

Neymar update



Neymar was just approving if he will be moving to the al hilal. Finally, al hilal's dream was coming true. I hope that he will accept al hilal's proposal as soon as possible.
Neymar is not an important player for PSG. He is injury prone. There's no need to defend him any more. Just exchange him with almost 200 millions of money still worthy. The market value doesn't matter in the player transfer.

This means that Neymar is only one step away from joining Al-Hilal and reportedly Al-Hilal has also ordered his medical test. It seems that Neymar's career is over in Europe and even if he wants to leave PSG, there should already be a team interested in bidding for him, but with his injury-prone condition, some of Europe's top teams don't want to sign him and will only harm the squad instead. However joining Al-Hilal is the most realistic thing and there is no other option for him to stay at PSG or Europe. He doesn't need to work hard anymore because he has won all the competitions in Europe.

Football is a talent that can win you recognition from medals and also bring a lot of money. In a situation where you have won many medals in your career and looking forward you see that you may not be able to win that number of medals anymore, it is best to just settle for a good financial deal. For Neymar, it is really good for him because he will be offered a very good deal better than most European players that have already moved there. He has not yet won the world cup with Brazil, so he can prepare for it and focus on that while he plays in Saudi league where he will be without the pressure of playing in the champions league.

[Die_empty]

Mbappe chose to take a middle path after his move to Real Madrid failed, in my opinion the decision Mbappe made was to save his career after his name was not included in the PSG squad against Lorient in the first week of Ligue 1. In the new contract submitted by PSG there is a guarantee clause for Mbappe to leave PSG in the summer of 2024, this agreement will benefit PSG and Mbappe, he could still play for PSG this season and go to Real Madrid in 2024 if Real Madrid are willing to pay Mbappe release clause.
The new contract that Mbappe agreed with PSG will influence Real Madrid's decision to sign Mbappe in the summer of 2024 for free. Real Madrid, who are still expecting Mbappe presence in their squad, must discourage their intention of getting Mbappe for free because the strategy used by PSG to prevent Mbappe from leaving for free is going according to what they planned.

This deal is the most reasonable move for both parties. Mbappe knew that PSG is willing to dump him for one year without considering the consequences. He would have sat on the bench and become redundant for one season. Now he has the opportunity of contributing to the team and winning trophies this season. The club has also achieved its aim by persuading the French striker to extend his contract to 2025 with a clause that guarantees that he can leave at the end of next season. At least the PSG will get some revenue from his contract next year. Real Madrid is the only party that lost in this battle for the future of Mbappe. The free transfer Real was believing to gain in the future is now off the table, they will have to pay to gain his services.

This means that Neymar is only one step away from joining Al-Hilal and reportedly Al-Hilal has also ordered his medical test. It seems that Neymar's career is over in Europe and even if he wants to leave PSG, there should already be a team interested in bidding for him, but with his injury-prone condition, some of Europe's top teams don't want to sign him and will only harm the squad instead. However joining Al-Hilal is the most realistic thing and there is no other option for him to stay at PSG or Europe.

Neymar has always enjoyed the benefit of earning the highest wages in Europe. We need to consider if Neymar is willing to cut down his earnings and if there is any club that is willing to pay for his service. In Al-Hilal Neymar will get the respect and money he always had in Europe. Based on his current form, the Saudi league will be the best for him.

He doesn't need to work hard anymore because he has won all the competitions in Europe.

The Saudi League is not an easy place to play football. The game there is physical and the players are strong and fit. Neymar needs to train hard to be able to make an impact in that league. Ronaldo is a hard worker which is why he has started making an impact.

[jakdanyel]

Let's just be clear about one thing. Players signing for Saudi Arabia teams aren't going for real competition. They are just going there for money. Players like Ronaldo, Benzema and so on have also gone there for money that's all. Because these teams are offering unbelievable amount of money to players.

They don't have anything such as FFP rules that restricts expenditures. Therefore they can sign whoever they would like by spending whatever amount of money they would like. Neymar is going to be another world star transfer for these teams and no wonder they will pay a lot of money (maybe double or triple the money he earns now) for his salary.

[Lida93]

The price for the two midfielders is almost equivalent to an existing squad of any other team. I wouldn't say football nearly died, for fear of offending people. I once said that whoever has a lot of money, he will succeed in getting players who are considered great even though the results may not necessarily match the purchase price.

Some players need to be priced so high but this depends on the club who own the contract. Chelsea and arsenal will not buy caicedo and rice with expensive price if brighton and westham were not putting high price for those players.

There are players that mere looking at their quality you can see they've what it takes to give your team the results you're in for, and with how advanced and business-looking football had become today every club wants to make the most out of their player when put on market, especially if he's the player of the moment with multiple clubs coming for him. So it doesn't mean anything like football has died or it's dieing. Let's just accept the how revolutionized football has become while expecting more of these changes in coming years.

Congratulations to Caicedo for choosing to accept Chelsea offer over Liverpool who have confirmed they are ready to welcome him at Anfield.

Caicedo was doing U turn at the last minutes. Chelsea already linked to the several players to complete the transfer season. Lavia and olise may come to the SB soon.

The club is still looking for a new striker at this moment. I wonder who will be going to be a candidate for temporary striker to replace nkuku which was injured.

Caceido, one thing I can is that he kept to his word of coming to Chelsea, while Chelsea on their part had to outsmart Liverpool with a non-contestable fee for the lad.
Now anyone can look at Chelsea defensive midfield and be confident of something of a defense, Enzo, Caceido and hopefully with Lavia on one side that would be awesome to see both trio play on the pitch.

Neymar is set to undergo his medical examination in Paris within the next few hours, before finalizing a 2-season contract with Al-Hilal. This transfer is expected to bring in just under €100 million for PSG, including bonuses. Following his medical, Neymar is anticipated to make his way to Riyadh sometime this week. I'm not surprised by this transfer, since the rumors first emerged, I was already convinced that Neymar would move to the Arab league, as his high salary makes it impossible for European clubs to sign him.

Even though Neymar moved to an Arab club, I'm not sure if it's only for the salary or if there are no offers from other clubs. Neymar condition is injury-prone and playing in Arab will not have a big impact. I know Arab clubs are always trying to target Europe's top players this year, and if you look at Al Hillal composition, they actually have a pretty good squad. Neymar's arrival is only a matter of salary, and for matters of appearance there, of course, you won't expect much.

[Polkeins]

It seems to have become clear why Mancini left the Italian national team so suddenly. He was offered to coach the Saudi Arabian national team for 40 million euros a year and a 3-year contract.
https://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/Nazionale/14-08-2023/mancini-c-t-dell-arabia-i-dettagli-dell-offerta.shtml
The amount of course fantastic 120 million for 3 years and the Saudi clubs and the national team just revolutionized the soccer market this year.

Previously more than 100 million I think even coaches of European and world champions did not receive, and now you can earn hundreds of millions a year and support yourself for the rest of your life.

[GbitG]

Let's just be clear about one thing. Players signing for Saudi Arabia teams aren't going for real competition. They are just going there for money. Players like Ronaldo, Benzema and so on have also gone there for money that's all. Because these teams are offering unbelievable amount of money to players.

They don't have anything such as FFP rules that restricts expenditures. Therefore they can sign whoever they would like by spending whatever amount of money they would like. Neymar is going to be another world star transfer for these teams and no wonder they will pay a lot of money (maybe double or triple the money he earns now) for his salary.

Thus, it is right that Saudi Arabia (SPL) is not the competing league, and neither are the players going to the Saudi Pro League for competition. It is simple: how many players were moved, and now how many players are going to the SPL just because of money? including Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema, Kante, Mane, Henderson, Mahrez, Fabinho, Brozovic etc. In this group of players, no one has moved for legacy or competition; they just moved for money. Saudi Arabia's side tries to use big salaries to lure players from Europe's top five leagues (in England, Spain, Germany, Italy, and France). This greed for money attracted many players, and now Neymar is also taking an interest in the Saudi Pro League instead of playing in Europe. Neymar is not just taking an interest, despite the fact that he personally agrees with Saudi Club Al-Hilal. The Saudi League is offering players an unprecedented salary package to attract them. So everyone understands that money is just a key factor in these transfers.

Neymar must be cashed in by his owner's club to maintain business stability. When Neymar went to Al Hilal for an outstanding transfer fee of €100m including bonuses, from a business perspective PSG had made a profit since Neymar joined from Barcelona.
I am also not surprised by this sale of Neymar, because PSG may know that Neymar still has a current market price of around €60.00m even though Neymar's highest transfer was €180.00m (Jan 24, 2018).

If they don't accept the bid proposal from Al Hilal, it is likely that next season Neymar's market price will continue to decline considering he is already 31 years old and Neymar is also prone to injury.

This is a good news to he Saudi Arabic pro league, Neymar present will add more value to the league. Neymar will is one of the best players in the world, he has good influence in the game,  he made the right choice for choosing to play in the Saudi Arabic pro league. this league is the fastest growing league in the world right now, they have really done well in the market. Hopefully the competition between AlHilal and Alnassr will be tough, Al HIlal has the highest squad with top players, follow by Alnassr.

It's nice to see Neymar team up with the likes of  Ruben Neves, Kalidou Koulibaly and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic at Al-Hilal, It obvious that a mouthwatering offer worth €100 million paid to PSG is too massive to be rejected by the club considering lack of game time of Neymar Jr due to injury in PSG and lives a lavish lifestyle in Paris, though he is a very skillful and talented player if fit, it's now obvious that all the Saudi Arabian bound European based players are after money even players who are not close to retirement like Neymar couldn't resist the juicy contract offered by Al-Hilal which I believe will be more than what he earns in PSG.

[rendravolt]

However joining Al-Hilal is the most realistic thing and there is no other option for him to stay at PSG or Europe. He doesn't need to work hard anymore because he has won all the competitions in Europe.

Football is a talent that can win you recognition from medals and also bring a lot of money. In a situation where you have won many medals in your career and looking forward you see that you may not be able to win that number of medals anymore, it is best to just settle for a good financial deal. For Neymar, it is really good for him because he will be offered a very good deal better than most European players that have already moved there. He has not yet won the world cup with Brazil, so he can prepare for it and focus on that while he plays in Saudi league where he will be without the pressure of playing in the champions league.

The latest news from Fabrizio Romano says that Neymar will undergo a medical test today before later being inaugurated as an official Al-Hilal player and even PSG also received a fantastic fee with the sale of Neymar, around 100 million euros, at least PSG's capital was spent on recruiting Neymar from Barcelona in 2017 then still has 50%. Maybe there is a point in Neymar trying to avoid competitions like the champions league because the competitive level is so high that he is afraid of injury and if he joins Al-Hilal on a 2 year contract then it will coincide with what he wants to defend Brazil for the last time on the world cup in 2026. So I think your opinion is quite reasonable.

[Distraction]

After being linked with Inter this time Balogun is speculated with Tottenham now. Because as you know Tottenham have just lost Harry Kane to Bayern Munich so they are in need of a striker now. They have Son and Richarlison who can play in this position maybe but I don't know if any of them would perform the same as Kane.

Balogun doesn't guarantee anything either maybe but he can at least become a useful player there.

By the way he was quite a beneficial player for Reims last season by scoring 21 goals in 37 matches. This is pretty nice stats for a 22-year-old scorer.
