⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Litzki1990]

Real Madrid have signed goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga from Chelsea on loan. He will join the club on loan with no option to buy. The deal was quickly completed when Chelsea found a replacement, goalkeeper Robert Sanchez from Brighton. Kepa turned down Bayern Munich to join Real Madrid. Real Madrid is still an attractive club, and many players want to join them, or England is Spaniard, so Kepa would rather accept Real's offer. Bayern Munich are busy these days when they just brought Kane from Tottenham. Perhaps they have overspent on this expensive deal and now do not want to spend any more.

Real Madrid have signed Kepa Arrizabalaga from Chelsea on a season-long loan amid fears that Thibaut Courtois will be sidelined for a year due to injury. This could be a great opportunity for Kepa Arrizabalaga to prove himself for a whole season. This former Chelsea goalkeeper will get a chance. If he can show his best performance for Madrid then this goalkeeper can create a possibility to stay at Real Madrid permanently. A new goalkeeper was definitely needed at Bayern Munich but with the signing of Harry Kane at a premium, Bayern Munich may not be able to sign a new goalkeeper this season. In that case, Kepa Arrizabalaga's contract with Bayern Munich may be suspended for the time being.

I predicted earlier that Neymar would stay amidst the speculation over Mbappe future that has not found clarity so far. But the news from Fabrizio Romano could be coming true soon, Neymar will continue his football career in the SPL. I think for now no club is willing to bet on recruiting the Basil player, apart from the high price and salary, the factor of frequent injuries makes Neymar less interested.

Al Hilal came with a fantastic offer, PSG was saved in this transfer saga. At least they can cover some of their expenses when recruiting Neymar from Barcelona.

If it can come true for Neymar, I think PSG will not be so strong this season because PSG relied on the front line a lot last season, but for this season all the players on the front line that they once relied on have gone elsewhere. and coupled with rumors about Neymar and Mbappe who are unlikely to stay at PSG anymore, although I still hope Neymar and Mbappe will want to stay at PSG this season so that PSG will not be so overwhelmed when competing in the UCL.

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. 

This will be a good move for both the player and Tottenham hotspur. Balogun has fallen out of picking order even after impressing at loan to Reims last season, but Aterta seems to prefer Nketiah and Jesus ahead of him, with Jesus injured one would have think the younger prospect would have a chance but even Harvetz is been used upfront, so I think this will be a great move for him to the London rivals.

As for Tottenham I think they do need new striker even though I heard that gent Gift Orban was close to joining them, maybe the deal has pull through. But nonetheless both of them will be a good acquisition since Richarlison is definitely having a poor outing in front of goal having scored just once in the the league since join them, although the game against Brentford was actually his second game starting as a center forward but I think a competition will do him just good.

We know Real Madrid was waiting to see if Mbappe is a free player and joins their team in this summer because they said they will just hire this player from PSG if he was out of PSG, otherwise, they will say congregation to Mbappe for staying in PSG and now after Mbappe decided to stay in PSG, we know Real Madrid should be unhappy but they didn't show any reaction to Mbappe and the recent news about his player training with the team.
It's the second-time Mbappe disappointed Real Madrid in the last minutes.

I think you got it wrong, Madrid are waiting for Mbappe to join next summer when he becomes a free agent and not this summer, that is why even with the pressure of teams chasing Mbappe’s signature Madrid didn’t make a move because it is believed that they already have a pre contract agreement of joint next season. Madrid signed Joselu for a season just to keep him till Mbappe comes. So Mbappe going PSG training doesn’t change a thing except if Mbappe sings a new contract which everyone sees as not happening

[Stepstowealth]

Regarding Moisés Caicedo and Chelsea, I think everything is done and this player is going to sign his contract with Chelsea soon they spent 115 for this player, and while Liverpool was trying to hire Moisés Caicedo from Brighton, Chelsea sent a better offer and since this player wanted to play for Chelsea he accepted the deal and going to join Chelsea after medical tests.

Caicedo is a good player, but he is overpriced, and I am not too concerned about this transfer. Many Chelsea fans and people who have been monitoring this transfer have over-hyped him a lot because of the price tag on him. The price of a player does not always reflect the value a player can provide to a club that wants him. Some cheaper players from smaller leagues have played better than their price tags, while some expensive players have become wasted money for clubs that signed them based on the performance they had in their last season. Caceido can just end up being just like other Chelsea players, with mid-performance and no good reflection of what was paid for him.

[Velvet78]

Neymar is officially joining Al-Hilal finally. I think he has taken the best path for himself now. Because he didn't have a good relationship with PSG lately and it was time to leave for Neymar. As he has been getting injured quite often he hasn't been a big use for PSG in the recent times either.

The Saudi Arabia league is like a show league so Neymar can just enjoy himself there. It is going to be a two-year deal as well and I don't think he would think of doing anything before his contract expires. Who knows maybe he would even retire after his contract ends.

News about David De Gea being eyed by Bayern Munich.

Munich's consideration for De Gea but it is windowed by the salary he wants, I don't know how much De Gea demands Munich for a salary that Munich clearly doesn't want a bigger salary for him.
Arab clubs also want him but Munich want a decision this week, is De Gea's chance at Munich greater or going to Arabia?

Sevilla goalkeeper Bounou is on Munich's list, as Sevilla want 20M Munich say that is expensive, so there may be more negotiations, between the two of them.

It's the second-time Mbappe disappointed Real Madrid in the last minutes.

Don't we know that Mbappe will finish his contract with PSG even though he was previously frozen in the main squad now he has started to return to the main squad to defend PSG in the second match of Ligue 1 after experiencing poor results before in the first match of Ligue 1 which made the front line dull and did not produce a goal because of the draw against Lorient, considering that mbappe is a good player playing on the front lines and scoring goals easily will make PSG's attack power sharper.

Some new players may just adapt and it takes time so it seems that PSG needs Mbappe for now at least it can last until the end of his contract, I also think this news should have sunk because I don't think Mbappe will move to Madrid at the start of this season, but I think it could have happened if he had finished his contract with PSG.

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. 

After Kane moved to Bayern Munich then there will be a vacant position for forward lines and Tottenham has starting to find the replacement of Kane and just like i said before Tottenham currently was linked to several players including Balogun but until now this is just still a remain rumour because Tottenham hasn't officially to bid for Balogun and indeed his impressive performance with Reims make some of clubs were interested to Balogun including Tottenham, Inter and AS Monaco

Balogun have no place anymore in Arsenal so he doesn't want to staying at this team and Balogun personally asking to the club that he want to sell to other clubs and recently Arsenal have already reject the offers from AS Monaco because they only want not less than 50 millions for him and maybe if Tottenham are willing to pay according to his price then Arsenal will release him so lets see whether this rumour is true or not

Even if Arsenal are to sell their players to any other club in Europe,they won't sell to Totthenham,have you forgotten that Totteham are their bitterest rival in London?There is this hatred they have towards each other and it is always a problem everytime they meet.Arsenal will definitely sell Balogun,but they won't sell him to Totthenham,it might either be any of the premier league club or any other team in Europe but not Totthenham.
Mikel doesn't like Balogun because he is arrogant,we have players like Nketiah and other good players who sits in the bench to wait for their time,just because he had a good season at  elsewhere,he think he can replicate that form here in premier league,but when he was given the opportunity to play in the team during Preseason friendlies,he was busy missing chances given to him.He thinks he is better than Nketia,but Nketiah is by far a better striker than him,and Mikel knows that,and it is the reason he has chosen to keep Nketiah instead of him.

Don't you agree that these rules are never set in stone and is only a question of money, always? If Tottenham were to offer 150 million pounds for a player that is less in market value, do you think that Arsenal would turn down the offer only because there is a rivalry between them? There have even been players who played for Real Madrid and Barcelona. Yes there is a lot of buzz around it and that would have to be expected for transfers between Arsenal and Tottenham as well, but to think that transfers would never happen because they stick to their principles is a bit naive to me. Everything has a price and possibly it would be higher for Tottenham, but not priceless.

Has this really happened that Neymar has officially joined Al Hilal?
It seems like only yesterday that I was discussing Al Hilal's offer for Neymar and now I read your feedback and saw it in the transfer market it is true that Al Hilal has managed to bring Neymar to the Saudi League.
It's shocking news but it's a shame I missed the train for this one transfer news.

PSG no longer rely on Neymar as their attack line player because he had experienced several injury cases and PSG also seemed not to trust Neymar so much.
Now Neymar has freedom and he can get what he deserves.
Congratulations to Neymar and I hope he can give his best for Al Hilal in the Saudi 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.

I predicted earlier that Neymar would stay amidst the speculation over Mbappe future that has not found clarity so far. But the news from Fabrizio Romano could be coming true soon, Neymar will continue his football career in the SPL. I think for now no club is willing to bet on recruiting the Basil player, apart from the high price and salary, the factor of frequent injuries makes Neymar less interested.

Al Hilal came with a fantastic offer, PSG was saved in this transfer saga. At least they can cover some of their expenses when recruiting Neymar from Barcelona.

I think the same as you because I still feel that he will stay but indeed the Al Hilal offer really offers something fantastic for Neymar and PSG.
Reportedly a salary of 100 million and a release clause of 80 million is a deal that is difficult to refuse in this case.
In the end money really does trump everything and right now there are some negatives and positives that PSG will have.
The positive is that with the departure of Neymar indirectly the desire of the club leader who did not really get along with Neymar was the end of their feud and PSG could start all over after the absence of Messi and Neymar (only Mbappe had to be expelled ) but the negative impact is with the current squad and by looking at the first match yesterday this is a dilemma too because with the departure of some of their core players in attack this is still a scourge for PSG.

[Leviathan.007]

Tchouaméni, the French defender in Real Madrid linked to many teams like Manchester United and Liverpool in this transfer window and they were close to hiring this player from Real Madrid, one of these teams was Liverpool because Klopp tried to hire Tchouaméni and have this player in the next season but Tchouaméni is under contract with Real Madrid until 2028 and he is the player the need him for the next season, that's why Real Madrid clearly said Tchouaméni is not for sell and they will not accept offers for this French player.

Previously many had suspected that Neymar would move this season because we know he has a problem with PSG fans and also some other reasons, Neymar's father has denied the rumors of his move but the fact is that it really happened. From the PSG side, they actually still need Neymar but injury reasons and high wages forced them to let him go and Al Hilal ready to wait for him, today or tomorrow we should hear an official announcement from Al Hilal as both sides have agreed.

80 million had to be paid by Al Hilal to bring in Neymar and so far Neymar holds the record for the most expensive transfer in the Saudi league but his salary per season is lower than Ronaldo.

Caicedo is a good player, but he is overpriced, and I am not too concerned about this transfer. Many Chelsea fans and people who have been monitoring this transfer have over-hyped him a lot because of the price tag on him. The price of a player does not always reflect the value a player can provide to a club that wants him. Some cheaper players from smaller leagues have played better than their price tags, while some expensive players have become wasted money for clubs that signed them based on the performance they had in their last season. Caceido can just end up being just like other Chelsea players, with mid-performance and no good reflection of what was paid for him.

I usually don’t get myself concerned with people that say he is not worth that much, all i tell them is to go back and watch his clips and also wait until he plays so they can decide if is worth the price. If Declan Rice is worth 100m then I don’t see a reason why he should not worth even more because Rice doesn’t have his work rate, for a DM you are expected to be rugged and be able to win balls and that’s one of his special abilities and for Chelsea fans they see him as Kante’s replacement so he is worth the hype for them. I have believe in Caicedo that he would be the perfect replacement for Ngolo Kante and also a good partner for Enzo Fernandez.

I don’t know man. I still think that it was a lot of money. Probably not too much money because almost everyone with a little bit of potential is 100 million right now. So in that sense, it is probably not that bad. But I think all that money is going to be worth spending if he does perform well with the team. I don’t think any club regrets their decision on spending money when the player that they bring in actually performs.

Moreover, it is imperative to note that equating this individual with Kante, from the perspective of Chelsea fans, does not imply that exorbitant sums must similarly be disbursed for each subsequent player. I am not trying to disrespect any player or the decision of any club. I am just saying that probably they could have brought him in for less money.

High wages certainly was not the main reason for PSG to let Neymar go. If PSG is lacking anything, money is not one of those things as can be seen with Mbappe. But the problem is his long history of injuries and this time it was an injury that is hard to predict regarding the recovery time and whether he can go into the games with full effort again. I believe that Enrique prefers to have a team that he can rely on for longer than two weeks. I understand if that is the case because as a coach you don't want to anticipate every single game that Neymar could get injured and the plan B has to be ready all the time. One game you have him on the pitch and the next he can't and that isn't good for the team cohesion.

This is the problem. Keep in mind this is the second season of Arab clubs invading European players and the results are now visible even for this season there are already a lot of players who go there and with large salaries. It is possible that the next seasons will also be more dangerous than this especially as I said earlier where FFP regulations do not apply for now which will make this an advantage for Arab clubs as long as they have money then they can bring in quality players at high prices.

I know what you are talking about and I think that is what many officials from the UEFA are also concerned about. The Arab clubs have access to essentially unlimited resources and I am not sure if I got this right from what I found out, but I think everything these clubs do is also backed by the government. This is a new and powerful approach that the European football hasn't been confronted with before ever.

The strategy of the Arab clubs also has some tremendous side effects besides players leaving the European continent. They set new price levels and new expectations for higher wages for all players. Not only those who decide to go to an Arab club, but also those who stay in Europe but threaten to leave Europe in case their requirements are not met so to say. It is concerning, but as you said FFP won't do much because it doesn't apply to them.

The bond of PSG became weaken when they let go of Messi, and clearly, they are the cause of the collapsed. No way they will want to describe it, PSG is a club any players will be careful or even avoid in the near future especially the skilled players. They are manipulative with ways of playing the players using the phrase no player is bigger than the club but we all understand that they are doing that for public domain. Look at it, Messi, Neymar and Mbape are the main forward of that team squad and they frustrate the living out of them, two has left but very soon Mbape will face the same fate.

PSG has not seen any struggle, they just started and this season will make the beginning of it because when they had inclusion of Messi and Neymar, the team was conceding more goals in Champions League than there domestic leagues, now that they are not around, it will get even worse. They may have Ousmane Dembele but I think the dude is just doing what a dreamer is doing for his club country, will also leave sooner than later.

Neymar is officially joining Al-Hilal finally. I think he has taken the best path for himself now. Because he didn't have a good relationship with PSG lately and it was time to leave for Neymar. As he has been getting injured quite often he hasn't been a big use for PSG in the recent times either.

The Saudi Arabia league is like a show league so Neymar can just enjoy himself there. It is going to be a two-year deal as well and I don't think he would think of doing anything before his contract expires. Who knows maybe he would even retire after his contract ends.

We already heard too much issues between Neymar and PSG, they have no good relationship. Since there is an interesting offer from Al Hilal, PSG can sell Neymar with a good price. Both PSG and Neymar can end their bad relationship if Neymar goes to SPL. Neymar finally agreed with Al Hilal, too. Neymar is probably interested with a big salary offered by Al Hilal. Neymar also can have a chance to be popular again if he succeed with Al Hilal in SPL. So, I'm not surprised if Neymar decided to join Al Hilal.

Neymar is already 31 years old and he is getting often injured. Because of this matter, not many clubs want him and eager to offer big price. Many clubs don't want to spend money but Neymar mostly spends time on the bench. Al Hilal doesn't care about Neymar's injury, they may think Neymar can bring big impact whether he plays or sits on the bench only.  

[Slow death]

these arabs never cease to amaze me, in this transfer window they made history, there were many signings that saudi arabia teams managed to make in this transfer window, now they have already managed to bring neymar, already have ronaldo, already have salio mane and many other good players who could still play in europe, that means they managed to bring players who would still have more years to retire, I believe that with many very popular players and with great talent, the saudi arabia league will have a lot of attention from the channels of tv and social networks, I see that the Arabs are being smart, they know that those players have millions of followers each player, so these players when they play in Saudi Arabia

they post their team and that brings popularity to the saudi arabia league and of course it also makes small teams that don't have money to make big signings will be left with no chance of winning anything and also won't gain attention, so the players those born in saudi arabia will be the ones who will suffer the most in the first years, but they will have to get used to it and make an effort to improve their performance, because they will be seeing how the best players in the world play.

Today I saw that Roma made two signings

Leandro Paredes will join AS Roma on €4m deal from PSG, it’s done

source: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cv7flWLIZ-D/

and this:

Renato Sanches joins AS Roma on loan deal agreed with PSG today

source: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cv7rywGIqox/

Roma don't have a strong squad capable of winning Serie A so I believe that this season they will be fighting to get a place in the European Champions League, they need to make the team more profitable so that they have more money to make big signings, every season they have made few signings that involve a significant amount of money and that doesn't make the team strong. if they were selling players for very high prices then they might be able to buy other good players, but rome hasn't been that lucky
