⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Josefjix]

In addition to Al-Ahli, Manchester United and Bayern Munich are also speculated to be interested in signing Verratti. If this is true then I wonder what he is thinking about his future. I'm pretty sure that none of those European teams can offer the same contract conditions to him with Al-Ahli.

While there is a situation to make much more money Verratti might take that path I think. I mean that he just needs to be very competitive for European football to reject a much bigger offer. Especially Bayern Munich's offer might be more attracting to him than Manchester United but I feel like he will choose money just as many more players have done so far.

Important players require good bids on their market value, there's higher chances for the player to exits Parc des Princes stadium this summer. Verratti is a crucial player and gather enough experience as a player. PSG allowing him to exits the club will be hugh loss for the parisians specifically in the midfield. Saudi clubs and EPL also interested in the race to win him over, but they have to come in agreement with the player in question. Al Ahli interested in European players this summer, they got their hands in the race to signed some of these players.

Verrati is a big enough attraction for a number of big European teams such as Manchester United and Bayern Munich. Even teams from the Saudi Arabian League are also interested in recruiting Verratti in this transfer window such as Al Hilal and Al Ahli. So, for this reason, PSG as the owner of Verratti will release Verratti to a team that offers a higher bid for Verratti's transfer.

Al Hilal had submitted their offer to recruit Verrtti, but their offer was rejected by PSG because the price was considered quite cheap. Apart from that the decision of both parties will also be a point to reach an agreement in this transfer because if Al Hilal makes a higher offer but Verratti refuses to join them of course it will not complete his transfer this season.

In addition to Al-Ahli, Manchester United and Bayern Munich are also speculated to be interested in signing Verratti. If this is true then I wonder what he is thinking about his future. I'm pretty sure that none of those European teams can offer the same contract conditions to him with Al-Ahli.

If he receives these two great offers from these two big teams, he should stay in Europe rather than go to the Saudi league. He simply needs to consider his choices and choose where he can gain more playing time in order to contribute more to the team.  Not all players his age will still be getting offers from big teams; he's lucky to still be getting one.

While there is a situation to make much more money Verratti might take that path I think. I mean that he just needs to be very competitive for European football to reject a much bigger offer. Especially Bayern Munich's offer might be more attracting to him than Manchester United but I feel like he will choose money just as many more players have done so far.

How fast we conclude that every player in Saudi Arabia is wanting the money, which is why they travel there to play for them. Another reason we don't seem to talk about is the fan admiration, praises, and love they receive. Money may be the primary reason they join, but I believe there are other motivations for joining as well, and we should respect their choice of career club. Most of them don't have much to offer playing in Europe, therefore they opt to travel where their services are most needed.

After Arsenal's narrow win against Crystal Palace tonight,I saw that Arsenal still need to reinforce in their squad,and sign atleast two or three more signings.They have signed four already,but Jurien Timber have suffered a set back that will rule him out for rest of the season,and this is the main reason why Arteta must look towards the direction of signing a left back to fill in that void left by him.Karl Harvetz is a wasteful buy for me,and he is not really meeting up the Arsenal standard of play. Arsenal seem solid at the back with Timber at left back and Ben White at right back,but it seems Arteta is favouring playing Saliba and Ben white together and leaving Gabriel in the bench,which I think is not right,he has done that in two matches now,and it might simply be what he wants to do through out the season.

Dani Olmo has been linked with Manchester City after De Bruyne's long-running injury according to Bild. However it is reported that Olmo is happy at Leipzig now. De Bruyne is expected to be out for 4 months which means that he won't take part in the first half of this season. But after that he would surely take his place in the starting eleven.

I mean it can be a long-running injury but I wouldn't expect De Bruyne to have big problems about his return anyway. He is one of the world star players who can have his usual performance back in a short time.

Besides I think Olmo is doing the right thing for himself. Because in the second half of the season he will most probably be a rotation player for Manchester City.

𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆: Mason Greenwood will leave Manchester United with immediate effect 🔴⛔️

Few minutes ago,  Fabriso posted that Manchester United have decided not re accept Greenwood into the squad.  We are all aware of thr difficult time the young Manchester United player have been facing. Despite that all charges against him was dropped, Manchester United was able to welcome him. Though they said it is a mutual understanding but I feel that Greenwood deserved a better treatment. But then I know that Greenwood will give his best to any club that hires him in this trying time. What he needs is to be signed and be provided with some psychological help and he will deliver.

I can see why Mamchester United didn't accept him back into the squad, I'll put the problem aside by saying that maybe the coach wasn't interested in including him in the scheme of things or he wasn't a player that Ten Hag liked.
It's been a tough time for him in recent times and that's because of his own doing. Although the charges were eventually dropped, what happened to him took a long time to resolve.
Now let's see where he will end up after Mamchester United are no longer interested. I can only hope he quickly finds a new club and no longer stumbles over problems.

I think his problem is not much related to Erik Ten Hag. He is a young player that also can fit into Erik pressing pattern. Ten Hag hasn't much involved in Manson Greenwood case. Ten Hag is sensible in handling delicate issues, just as he did when Ronaldo wasn't joining his presence because of family issues.
I think Greenwood's hard luck is coming from the staff of Manchester United and maybe also the fans and not the problem of the coach. If management wanted Greenwood, Tag will not oppose that decision.

This is why I say Pochettino is an another version of Potter, he keep sign many players and he try to built a new squad.

Lol, this has to be just banter right? Mauricio Pochettino isn't a world class manager like Pep or Mou, but he is definitely better than Graham Potter. I think it is actually too early to give appraisal of Pochettino's performances in Chelsea, he is just two games into the job, and even though Chelsea haven't started the way they would have wanted, there is still quite a lot of time for Pochettino and Chelsea to put things right and start getting the results the fans want.

Romeo Lavia has officially signed for Chelsea. They had to pay a quite big sum for the 19-year-old defensive midfielder.

Chelsea have actually signed Caicedo already for the position. But they still went for Lavia at the same time and didn't let Liverpool get him instead. There are quite many alternatives in the same position for Chelsea now. I just hope it doesn't cause any unhappiness situation break out among those players. Because those are all young and talented midfielders who deserve many chances in the starting eleven.

Chelsea signing Romeo Lavia was to complete the rebranding of the midfield making it a midfield of three person which are Enzo Fernandez, Caicedo and Lavia. The signing was necessary as he's going to add strength to the midfield and even when he's not a regular starter (which I doubt he won't be one), he can always come in as a perfect substitution to change the game. With Lavia and Caicedo in the midfield, Enzo Fernandez will be given freedom to join the attack and adds more men to the attacking force of Chelsea. Enzo Fernandez isn't a defensive midfielder as he was been used at Chelsea, he's an attacking midfielder, using him as DM deny him his talent. Romeo's fees wasn't too high but just average for a player of his quality.

Somehow mundane news that Ziyesh signed a contract with Galatasaray and judging by the terms Chelsea very much wanted to get rid of Ziyesh, because a year on loan and then a free buyout is great conditions for Galatasaray, but a few years ago Ziyesh was one of the promising players and was valued at 50 million euros, and now he is not ready to take even Saudi clubs.

Hakim Ziyech was one of my favorite signing because of his quality at the wing and his crosses but they had no end product at Chelsea because we didn't have a striker that was good in the air to finish up all his crosses and that's how he fell of the first team as coaches that have handled Chelsea during his time at the club didn't see any value for his involvements in the squad. Also Hakim Ziyech had some injury problem that also affected his transfer as he has failed medicals for multiple clubs. Hakim Ziyech would had loved Saudi Arabia but his medical wasn't a success and now he has to settle for a loan at Galatasaray and it seems he isn't getting a fair deal because from what I saw, if they sign him next season his salary will be reduced, I just hope he impress this season and get interest from a better club that'll pay him well.

Potter just got into a bad time, which Chelsea was experiencing and apparently continues to experience. He also lacked the authority as the head coach of the players in such a top team as Chelsea. Mauricio Pochettino undoubtedly has much more credibility and chances to succeed with the team, but he needs time to build a team and he is also dominated by the factor that Chelsea continues to sign expensive players and Todd Boehly wants to see the result in the form of high places in the standings.

I wonder what a special thing from this guy. May i miss something or what? PSG had horrible performance during the first matches of domestic league. PSG allows him to exit, which means if he is not important anymore for the club. I do feel curious about what motivation is by some clubs try to sign him as new player. Verratti was ont PSG for almost 8 years. It's now the time for him to leave, but it surprises me how bayern was interesting to sign him as a new player as well. His stat does not look impressive to me.
Consider his price was also very cheap compared with another popular midfielder in another club and im still calling him worthy with his price.
PSG gonna sell him with cheap price as the club doesn't need him to be in the club. PSG had found his replacement. His career as a player from the best club in the farmer league is going to end now.

Chelsea continue to struggle, they're waiting patiently to record their first winning this season. Mauricio Pochettino is nothing like Graham Potter or Frank Lampard when it comes to the management of Chelsea. Besides it's too early to start laying complaints for the sack of Pochettino, we know how far they go in the preseason games, but we should look into the equation, Chelsea attacker is injured and there's a force nine who's trying to suit in the game. Chelsea dominated the two games which they've lost, their problem is clear, they lack the potential to net a goal, that's where Christopher Nkunku comes in.

The allegations were heavy against him and although I think that often times women feel suppressed and can be at a disadvantage because it is hard to prove things, it can also be hard the other way around. The career definitely takes damage when such allegations are raised against a player. It is impossible for outsiders to have an idea what's true, what's wrong and what has been exaggerated. But in his case a comeback won't be easy because no club wants to freely sign a new player who has just been in prison facing charges because of alleged rape...

The police has been dropping his case as the victim refuses to continue the investigation. It has been informed by romano's tweet and greenwood was also making official statement too. It depends on the perspective of anyone regarding him. Greenwood needs to take care himself by leaving from manchester united to join another club. No place for him in MU as almost all of staff has been refusing his comeback to the club. There's no a better choice than him to leave from the club as soon as he can.
he can still continue his career in another club. He shall not stop in manchester united.

It's hard for him to leave from MU but he must do that.

Verratti isn't wanted by PSG in the squad anymore. There is a small time period left for European teams to sign him though. However PSG should still be comfortable that they can find a team for him from Saudi Arabia. You know that Saudi Arabian teams are signing everyone these days. Why wouldn't Verratti be one of them?

I don't think the player will turn them down either while he can't find a European team for himself and he can earn much more money in Saudi Arabia. I think he will also join the players going there soon.

The problem is not that no one is interested in Verratti, but that the club from which they came has offered a pretty fantastic price, forcing European clubs to think twice about signing him. Al-Ahli could make a big bid for PSG and it would be easy for them to beat European clubs in terms of competition in the transfer market. As reported by several online media that Manchester United and Bayern Munich are also interested in Verratti, but they have spent a lot of money in the current transfer market, so it is no longer possible to bring Verratti for a pretty fantastic price.

Al-Ahli is the most likely to sign Verratti and although Manchester United and Bayern Munich are also interested in him. I think he is still quite young and still has a long career playing in Europe if he wants to. The decision will rest entirely with PSG and they can decide where Verratti will play going forward and it is for this reason that the transfer market is no longer attractive as money plays a bigger role in the club's decision to offload the player.

Lucas Paqueta was poised to join Manchester City in an £85 million ($108m) move before an investigation into alleged betting breaches began. City had seemingly identified the Brazilian as a replacement for Kevin De Bruyne, who is set to miss a sizeable chunk of the season due to a hamstring injury. According to the Daily Mail, the Hammers agreed a big-money deal to sell Paqueta to the treble winners - only for the move to collapse after the FA were alerted to apparent breaches of their betting rules by Paqueta.

https://www.goal.com/en/news/lucas-paqueta-man-city-85m-before-betting-investigation/blt67d21d11705745cf

I think that price of paqueta is very high. I don't even think if it's the best choice to get him from the westham. Im aware his performance with chelsea is not that good. I prefer city to get doku rather than him. Doku has better potential in the future compared with him.
I hope city will try to reconsider doku anymore caused by he is far better to be a new winger to replace mahrez which was going to the saudi club. City must try to compare both of players.
Even though paqueta has experience played in EPL but i prefers doku to perform even better than him in EPL. I hope city will able to change its mind to get doku rather than paqueta.

Potter just got into a bad time, which Chelsea was experiencing and apparently continues to experience. He also lacked the authority as the head coach of the players in such a top team as Chelsea. Mauricio Pochettino undoubtedly has much more credibility and chances to succeed with the team, but he needs time to build a team and he is also dominated by the factor that Chelsea continues to sign expensive players and Todd Boehly wants to see the result in the form of high places in the standings.

Pochettino when compared to Potter is clearly much different, Pochettino has better experience than Potter in coaching big teams with top players in them.
From when Chelsea was coached by Pochettino to when he was coached by Potter, we can assess his progress which was quite good while he was with Pochettino, even not yet though with Chelsea for a long time but all his hard work was very clear.

In this case, if Pochettino continues to change Chelsea well, Chelsea still has the chance to become one of the strongest teams in the Premier League and can return to appear in the Champions League.

The decision to replace Potter with Pochettino was a very good choice.
Now Todd Boehly's task is only to provide what Pochettino needs to strengthen Chelsea.

Manchester City has successfully to gets Rennes player Jeremy Doku it say they have to spend approximately 64 millions to gets this player and why Guardiola want to bought more players at forward position because after Riyad Mahrez leave then there was a vacant position so he want to buy at least 1 new player on that position and in the near future Doku will do medical check at Manchester and Jeremy Doku is a De Bruyne recommendation because both teams has been playing at Belgian national team but besides that Guardiola looks very impress to his performance during playing at Rennes so Guardiola feel Doku will be suitable for team needs

[Strongkored]

It seems that Chelsea have not been satisfied with all the changes made by selling enough players and buying enough players including by replacing their main goalkeeper with the new goalkeeper they bought from Brighton Robert Sánchez, and now they already have at least 3 goalkeepers after Kepa Arrizabalaga was loaned to Real Madrid, but now it is reported they will still buy additional goalkeeper Djordje Petrović with a long enough contract duration of 7 years as a Chelsea player. Source
The cost of Chelsea to sign the Serbian goalkeeper is not so big less than 20 million euros, it's just that seeing Chelsea is still so aggressive in the transfer market raises questions, how is the shape of a team that is undergoing this transformation, and how detrimental it will be when the results are not comparable to what has been issued.

I also read this news, the 21-year-old from Rennes looks like Doku is a good enough option to replace the injured De Bruyne. In addition to the departure of Mahrez, Bernardo Silva who was injured. Actually Pep Guardiola had Cole Palmer come in at the beginning of the season, he performed quite well against Sevilla. Doku's position is almost the same as Palmer's, but it looks like Pep Guardiola has another strategy or formation. He can always make players play to the maximum.

Saudi teams continue to bring star players and they are getting more dangerous in time. If you have heard UEFA is thinking of starting to accept Saudi teams for the Champions League as of the 2024/2025 season as well.

If this really happens Saudi teams can suddenly start to be one of the most competitive teams of the tournament with these transfers. Of course this action will bring about financial fair-play rules for those teams at the same time. As of that date they won't be able to bring whoever they want for the Champions League. Otherwise there would be sanctions to be imposed.

But until then I can't imagine who the future transfers will be for those teams. European teams are starting to be desperate against them in race to sign players.

Dangerous? Have you realized that Al-Nassr, the winner of their champions league, ended up losing 2 games in their own league? I mean it's obvious that they got players with "name" and they are getting more attention, but there aren't that many good players in all of Saudi league, let alone just one team.

There are some players that were sent away by UCL teams instead. United didn't want ronaldo, bayern didn't want mane, chelsea didn't want kante, maybe the only exception would be Benzema, which Real wanted to keep, but there aren't all that many like him in that league. If Saudi teams go to UCL, they will be destroyed very very quickly, it's going to be game over for them within the group stages right away.

[Litzki1990]

I think with the current conditions De Paul will not accept Al-Ahli's offer. In addition, Atletico will not let him go. Atletico still desperately needs strength to continue to compete as La Liga champions. With Atletico's good financial condition, of course they will not let go of their main players. In addition, even if De Paul is offered a big salary, he must stay in Europe. The conditions of the European league are more favorable at this time to create records and champions. I don't think De Paul is a person who likes money.

De Paul isn't the first players that Saudis want to recruit from Atlético Madrid and he will not be the last. They tried to sign Antoine Griezmann, Alvaro Morata and Stefan Savic but all these players didn't move and they played in ATM last game in La Liga.
De Paul contract ends in 2026 so it is unlikely to see him leave ATM soon.

The main target of the Saudi leagues now is to buy players from various European teams. Antoine Griezmann, De Paul may have already been watched by Saudi leagues. Although De Paul is not going to Saudi Arabia at the moment, Antoine Griezmann is likely to go to Saudi Arabia. Antoine Griezmann is a 32-year-old star at the moment and we don't see the attacking game he used to play today, which may be why clubs in Saudi Arabia want to take advantage of that opportunity. At the moment, if Antoine Griezmann is offered to Atletico Madrid by Saudi Arabia and if the offer is worth more, then Antoine Griezmann will definitely have the possibility to join Atletico Madrid.
