⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[rahmad2nd]

Talking about Neymar's future career I think that even Neymar himself does not want to think more about this especially with the crazy salary conditions in Arabia during his contract then indeed in the end there is one more Brazilian player who disappeared from the radar after Hulk, Oscar, Pato and Willian who previously took a path almost similar to Neymar.

Going back to reviewing Neymar, if you see Neymar interview regarding his reasons for playing at Al Hilal, will make us think again that it's not just about the big salary, but the attractiveness of Ronaldo and several other players like Benzema and Firmino also made him want to play in Saudi Arabia. So it's quite clear in this case that Neymar indirectly said that he was motivated to be able to fight against the star players who had already moved there. You can look for it yourself regarding the interview that Neymar delivered.

But if you're interested, I'll watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQn_Xrs9spE

IMO, a very classic excuse made by Neymar. that in truth, Neymar doesn't have many options because not many top clubs really want his services. there are several factors behind it, apart from Neymar being prone to injury, a high salary, it seems that PSG are reluctant to let him go for an easy price. then, Al Hilal also offered a proposal with a very high salary.

Previously, this club really wanted Messi and some very famous star players. however, their attempts always fail. seeing the situation that was happening within the PSG camp, Al Hilal tried to offer a proposal for Mbape but the player was not interested in the offer. finally, they tried to get Neymar and promised a much higher salary. Not many choices, in the end Neymar accepted the proposal. regarding the questions from the interview session, which you share in this link.

To be honest, I didn't take it seriously. because, Neymar actually still deserves to play in the highest commission. it's just that, he has a problem that is prone to injury. Al Hilal, offers a fantastic salary. then, in the end he did not refuse the offer. the point is, it was the salary that attracted Neymar. plus, not many European clubs are seriously interested in using his services.

I can't agree with it. It's not an excuse made by him. The fact that if neymar is still having 2 years remaining contract in PSG. The problem is also if neymar was also injury prone. PSG can let him go out with cheap price and there will be so many offers come to him but PSG valued him as high as possible to decrease its salary cap too. PSG has made him become the most expensive player in the world. There was no even a big player that has broken his record. It sounds non sense if PSG was rejecting a lucrative offer from PSG.
PSG can reject it too.

Previously, this club really wanted Messi and some very famous star players. however, their attempts always fail. seeing the situation that was happening within the PSG camp, Al Hilal tried to offer a proposal for Mbape but the player was not interested in the offer. finally, they tried to get Neymar and promised a much higher salary.

Focusing into the 1 player will not solve the problem. Al hilal needs someone who can also push the popularity of the club. Messi is not interesting to compete with ronaldo in SPL. Al hilal had no choice other than recruiting neymar. This is far better rather than wasting money to buy someone like osimhen.

To be honest, I didn't take it seriously. because, Neymar actually still deserves to play in the highest commission. it's just that, he has a problem that is prone to injury.

Al hilal was not offering a fantastic salary. The club was also offering various facilities for neymar. It's very hard to refuse such an offer if the club was money oriented.

So which statement should I refer to while what comes out of Neymar's mouth is clear, regardless of classic reasons or not why not go to Inter Miami? whatever the reason, I think it's more ridiculous if it's not supported by evidence, right?

I don't care if Messi or Neymar really want it, but we're just talking about facts because when the facts are in front of our eyes it's impossible to dream of another side that doesn't happen. That's how we objectively evaluate whether we like it or not, the fact remains the fact that now the Arab League is becoming more and more attractive. Money factor? of course money plays an important role in smoothing the Arab League in increasing its competition.

If Neymar refuses a proposal from an Arab club then there will be no more coming of the same proposal, European clubs are also not much interest except for other leagues besides Europe, in essence Neymar will get big money during a two-year contract, PSG is benefited.

Neymar has already officially moved to Al-Hilal. I won’t be surprised if PSG’s Arab friends are behind this transfer - firstly, PSG got rid of a too expensive football player, and secondly, they not only got rid of him, but even received money for the transfer and thus improved their business in terms of FFP. As for Neymar, it is certainly hard to see the career of the once most promising player decline at the age of 31. I wouldn't be surprised if he completely finished at 33.

This condition is actually awaited by PSG from last season, it's just that no club dares to give the clause as desired, but with the Arab club with their madness in spending money this is a good thing for PSG.

Well and indirectly this is the best solution that PSG got by selling Neymar to an Arab club, with the difficulty of getting interest from several other top European clubs for Neymar the arrival of an Arab club has become a big helper for PSG because as you said and as we know that only Arab clubs dare to offer this high for Neymar. Some European clubs were very thoughtful when they signed him for a sum that would have been fantastic but they could not get the appropriate contribution from the player because of his injury prone habits. But for the Arab clubs themselves it seems that they are not considering this, but for myself it seems that I will put a little doubt.
As for his future career, I don't think I'd expect much from him and perhaps his main priority now is a big salary, and this may be enough to justify his decision to accept Al Hilal's offer.

After Liverpool failed to get Caicedo from Brighton because he preferred to join Chelsea. Now Liverpool have got a new defensive midfielder to replace Fabinho and he is Wataru Endo from Stuttgart. He is already 30 years old and as a midfielder this will consume a lot of stamina, let alone playing in the most competitive league, of course he will often experience fatigue. The transfer fee is not expensive, only around 19 million euros and is 5x cheaper than Caicedo's price. Wataru Endo will undergo a medical test today and after that he will be officially announced as a new Liverpool player. In your opinion, for Liverpool's midfield depth, is this Japanese player very good for Liverpool?

[Docnaster]

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain finally left premier league teams and in the next season he is going to play for Beşiktaş in Turkey I'm not sure why Chamberlain choose Beşiktaş, because this player is still young he is 29 years old player which means he can play for the top teams in Europe for years but choosing Beşiktaş doesn't make sense for him.
Chamberlain joined Liverpool from Arsenal in 2017 for 42m and he played 146 games for this team, but after 2019 he but injured and he couldn't play in many games for his team.  

Turkish league is far from the worst, even Icardi was able to restart his career there, so maybe Chamberlain can do it too. Chamberlain is a good player,  talented, but it did not work out at Liverpool to get a grip on the main squad, after all, Klopp is a tough coach and if something does not work out, you immediately fall out of the squad. The example of Firmino and Fabinho is even more vivid than Chamberlain.

Chamberlain still has a chance to prove himself, in 29 sometimes everything is just beginning.

If Chamberlain does not have an injury problem and really wants to go back to his old days and play football, he is a football player with a high potential to reverse Besiktas's bad course. He is someone who will make a difference with his unexpected shots, agility, offensive playing style and experience. I watched his interviews. He has a sincere nature and i don't think he will have a hard time adapting to the team. These are important factors. Physics and technical quality is already above the Turkish league. If he does not experience consecutive injuries it will be very beneficial for Besiktas. The transfers of big teams this season are exciting for the league and a high league in terms of competition awaits us in the future.

That's right and right now Chamberlain needs a lot of playing minutes for him to return to his best performance, I think his choice to play for the Beşiktaş team is very correct and with only 29 years of age it is possible for him to be able to build an even brighter career.
Meanwhile, for the Beşiktaş team, of course, Chamberlain's arrival is an advantage for them, he is a very extraordinary player.

Good move by Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain who was once regarded as one of the future stars of English football.
Since he suffered that injury that kept him sidelined for over 6 months as a Liverpool player, he has struggled to get playing time again and I think it'll be an opportunity for him now to resurrect his dying career.
Besiktas might not be club in any of the European big five leagues but are certainly one of best club aside the top five European leagues. If Chamberlain should find his feet once again, I'm sure many too European clubs would be calling for his services once again

Who the heck player didn't wanna get these things from joining in saudi club?

Al-Hilal will offer Neymar the following gifts for coming to Saudi Arabia:

• Bentley Continental GT
• Aston Martin DBX
• Lamborghini Huracán

The Brazilian has also ordered 4 Mercedes G Wagon's and a van of the same brand. 🇸🇦💰

He will have a driver and a 25 room mansion

https://twitter.com/DeadlineDayLive/status/1691783248567775387

The saudi club just treats him like a king. It will be so stupid if neymar was rejecting such offers. Even though neymar is one of the richest football player in the world, but i can't deny that if saudi club was giving so many facilities to him.
~

On the part of Neymar, this is of course the right decision, he never gave himself completely to football (by the way, as the current coach of Al-Hilal spoke about), and now he has completely sold his talent and money.
The only question is whether he can honestly work out this money? Or again, everything will turn into violations of the sports regime, unscheduled weekends to celebrate the sister's birthday, the Brazilian carnival, etc.

But for the Arab clubs themselves it seems that they are not considering this, but for myself it seems that I will put a little doubt.

Arab clubs signed these big players mostly because of their fan base and the huge attention that they can draw. They do not mind if these players are old and almost retiring, if they will get injured and stay all season on the bench, they are just interested in bringing them, and they make their deals so enticing that other big players who are not yet in the league will begin to consider accepting a deal from them if it ever comes.

He was not their first choice, but he can turn out to be good at the end, the player is not so young, so it means he has good experience already in the position that he bought to occupy. Liverpool have saved a lot of money from this deal.

Sometimes it is good to let go of some players that prove to be every one's choice in the transfer Market because one thing might just happen to him and the story will change,either injury or he might just come to a big team and start flopping.Look at the case of Mykylo Mudryk that Arsenal was following for some while in last January transfer market,the player already set his mind on joining Arsenal,but at the end of the day,Chelsea hijacked the deal,which made Arsenal went to buy Trosard from Britton.If you should compare the two deals,you will see that Arsenal made the right choice to sign Trosard,which is far better than Mudryk because he has got many goals and assists in his first season than the Ukrainian international.Therefore,Wataru might just end up being a very good signing at Liverpool.While the reverse might be the case with Caicedo.

Chamberlain joined Liverpool from Arsenal in 2017 for 42m and he played 146 games for this team, but after 2019 he but injured and he couldn't play in many games for his team.  

Chamberlain was one of the best players at Arsenal back them that he was still an Arsenal player,he was so skillful and quick that I thought he would be a world class player some day,but after he was sold out,things started being  different for him,he went to Liverpool where he wasn't seeing regular game time again,he was kept on the bench to be a bench warmer there till injury started hitting him.I can actually say that Liverpool did not really favour him because he is 29 going to 30 now meaning that he is no longer at the age where we would say he still has much to produce,he is getting to the climax of his football career and therefore he has very little to offer in a team now.Nevertheless,let's wish him the best of luck at his new club.

I think a player who has been playing at the top level of competition, does generally have good things to provide for the club, even at 29/30 years of age. But in this case, I think Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was too worried that if he continue playing in the top level of competition, he will actually get injured more and more. I think that the injuries actually affected him psychologically as well as physically. That’s why he is choosing to play in a competition, that is probably not that hard. But he could have also gone to the Saudi league as well.

Anyway, I think we have to respect players decisions. After all, we have seen really good players retire at the age of 28 before (Marco Van Basten).

@rendravolt Liverpool are desperate and I don’t blame them for a reason that I’m yet failing to understand every player they wanted decided to reject them despite their bid being the winning bid. Also I like Poch a lot but how could any player turn down the chance to work under Klopp and agreed they had a bad season but he’s a top class coach and I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets the best out of Endo too which will justify why Liverpool bought him.

Liverpool's player transfers are always beyond the expectations of many analysts. Sometimes the players bought by them are considered a failure because the players who are recruited do not have a good history when strengthening their home club.
Andrew Robertson and Luis Diaz including Jota were not included in observers' estimates that they could be like they are now with Liverpool. Firmino, who is now playing in the Saudi Pro League with Al Ahli, also experienced the same thing when he was recruited from Hoffenheim.

So, for a while I think Wataru Endo's recruitment is good. I hope Endo can help Mac Allister in balancing Liverpool's midfield.

There have been many complaints regarding the decision from liverpool to sign him. People keep compare him to the lavia or caicedo. I meant he was 30 years old, and he never played in a great club. It's a very big gambling for liverpool by buying him out from stuttgart.
So many liverpool fans were feeling disappointed with this panic buy. I can even understand why so many fans didn't feel satisfied to see him to be recruited by liverpoo.
It sounds like that liverpool was silently recruiting him from stuttgart. My prediction if liverpool has prepared him as an alternative once its transfer for caicedo and lavia would be failed to the intervention by chelsea.
WTF was wrong with kloop?

I have heard that if liverpool has been also preparing belgian wonderkid as an alternative plan for salah. Some news talked that if salah may go to the ittihad as well.

Arsenal are exploring the possibility of signing another versatile defender after their key man, Jurrien Timber suffered injury in the game against Northingham Forest.The players has already gotten his way into the hearts of Arsenal fans with his  solids performance and versatility in the Arsenal team.The player who was bought from Ajax for a fee in the region of 45 million Euros was brought in to be a cover for Zinchenko,and since his arrival at Arsenal,his defensive capabilities has made Arteta  chose him over Tierney,but his injury will force Arsenal to look at the transfer window again in other to strengthen that department.It is yet to be seen how long the payer will be on the sideline,but Arteta has discussed bringing in another player,and who that could be has not yet been disclosed.

In my opinion,I think Arsenal coach Arteta should not look at signing any other left back again since they have Zinchenko and Tierney already in that wing,he should give Tierney a chance to prove himself because ever since they bought Zinchenko,Tierney chances has been limited,and it has made the player to always commit blunders anytime his is given a chance.I know Tierney is a very good player,a solid left back that was very good  and is still very good,but Arteta prefers a player that is versatile and good at ball passing.Zinchenko has that quality,while the former is lagging behind in that aspect.
Therefore,since they have two left backs already,sticking to them is what Arteta would have done,unless he is intending to sell Tierney out,because from all indications,it looks like he doesn't have the player in his plans.Nevertheless,it is yet to be known whether he will let Tierney go,or he will still keep him at the club to fight for his place in the Arsenal team.

Do you mean about Caicedo turning down Liverpool? If yes, then actually Caicedo chose Chelsea because it was Chelsea who actually approached Caicedo first. They already had an agreement with the player done before getting things done with Brighton. Liverpool were late in approaching for Caicedo otherwise he would have gone to Liverpool. Had Chelsea not improved the bid, then again Liverpool would have gotten Caicedo.

It's simple as he (Caicedo) gave a word to Chelsea and kept it until the end.

[Spack17]

About Neymar's being signed by Al-Hilal I think that he has done the right thing for himself. Because it was clear that he had no future at PSG from now on. He has been struggling with injury problems for a long time. He missed so many matches last season for example. PSG also wanted this transfer to happen.

Neymar is going to earn 300 million dollars for 2 years and it can go up to 400 million as well. He can just earn lots of money there.

Felix is having a hard time at Atletico Madrid, I don't know if the   coach and the player are having issues because I don't see that connections between the coach and the player for him to start and he's not happy. Ever since he got back from the EPL on loan to Chelsea, he hasn't been the same player he was when he left on loan.
Now he wants the club to terminate his contract and the club don't want that but they increased his market prize to £80m, to me I feel he's not up to that amount and even if that amount is divided is a No to me, maybe he should be around £30-40m.
Is he up to that amount, £80m?

Nope, £80M is too much, that's higher than Haaland where his performance didn't even close to Haaland.

Atletico Madrid has been known as a business team, they're trying to make money selling and loan their players, Griezmann was an example where Atletico Madrid sign him for £30M from Real Sociedad, then Barcelona spent £120M to sign him and Atletico sign him for £20M from Barcelona.

The 23 years old Portuguese players is a very skillful and talented one, and have had quite a tough time at Athletico madrid and is not even in good terms with Simeone since last seaaon making him to get less playing and they even had to loan him to Chelsea, his performance at Chelsea was not quite bad, even while they had a tough season as a club he was one of the outstanding players and i expected Chelsea to sign him on a permanent transfer but the new coach Pochettino rather allowed him to go back to Athletico after loan ended
 However during the early stages of the transfer window, Félix took to social media to declare his feelings open to Barcelona and claiming he doesn't see himself playing for any club than the club he fanned during his childhood which is Barcelona, they picked Interest in him and talks where ongoing not until simeoné decided to increase their demand for him and forced Barcelona to consider steping out of the deal due to financial issues barca has, now we've currently seen players sold at a very expensive price and lef for me i think he's worth around £50m at most  but if Mason mount that didn't really performed well at Chelsea last season be worth up to £65m then how much more would João Félix who performed better and had more playing than him at  Chelsea last season be worth?
