⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

Joao Felix's future is somewhat uncertain at the moment, it is pretty obvious that he isn't going to play for Athletico Madrid again, so he has to leave if he wants to continue playing football. I don't think Barcelona can afford to get him before this transfer window closes, Barcelona are in a financial crisis, thus there is no way they can get Joao Felix registered with them, except there are outgoings. Having said that, i think Joao Felix is going to end up in Saudi Arabia, their transfer window doesn't close at the same time with that of Europe, so they still have some time to work on the deal if Joao Felix's move to Barca falls through.

From the reports I've seen so far in the news, Barcelona president Joan Laporta wants to bring the Portuguese international to the Camp Nou and the player is keen to join the Catalan club this summer as well.
There's been offers from some Saudi Arabian clubs who are very much interested in signing Joao Felix but he wants to remain in Europe but more importantly to him, he wants to play for Barcelona and the club is reportedly on it to make it happen

Speculation about Joao Felix's future has become one of the things that has attracted quite a lot of attention at the end of this summer's transfer market. as is known, after his loan period ended with Chelsea, he returned to his original club Atletico Madrid. unfortunately, this player from Portugal was not included in Diego Simeone's game plan, even Joao Felix also had time to train with Atleti's junior squad in pre-season. and this season, never got the chance to play at all.
This situation certainly made Felix start to be linked with the idea of ​​leaving Wanda Metropolitano, especially since he also expressed his desire to join Barcelona. Rumor has it, Fabrizio Romano reports that Barca will start their bid to sign the player in the next 48 hours, Barcelona are currently looking for a way to sign the player without violating the rules regarding Financial Fair Play, and hope to reach a solution that will allow them to sign the Portuguese star. with loan player status.
So, let's just wait and see whether Joao Felix will join Camp Nou. or, he will leave for the Saudi Pro League.

Another rumor, quoted from 90MIN UK, is that Chelsea is also interested in recruiting Joao Felix again, this was done after the London club failed to recruit Emile Smith Rowe from Arsenal and Michael Olise from Palace. Whether this rumor is true or not, we'll just have to wait because this summer's transfer window will end soon.

Seeing West Ham's movements in the transfer market this summer was surprising, they managed to sell Declan Rice to Arsenal for around 100 million euros and then they invested by bringing in 3 new players to strengthen their midfield. Of the three players there are Mohammed Kudus, James Ward-Prowse, and Edson Alvarez. So far James Ward-Prowse has contributed goals and assists for West Ham in the last few matches, but soon we will see Mohammed Kudus' debut in this week's match considering he was just brought in a few days ago from Ajax. I think David Moyes knows very well the players the club really needs to be more competitive this season and it's not wrong for them to bring in talented players at a fairly reasonable cost. Maybe West Ham is the only team in the EPL that has made the best player transfers so far.

Regarding Mohammed Kudus i have watching him while he playing with Ghana national team at world cup last year and he was very impressive and skillful so i have no doubt this summer he will linked to several big clubs but i bit surprised because he choose West Ham than Manchester United or Liverpool but recently Mohammed Kudus has heen spoke to the public when he choose West Ham instead of those teams because he likes West Ham long term project which is focused to the development of young players and besides that at West Ham his chances to playing regularly is wide open and West Ham have to spend 45 millions to gets him and he will gets 5 years contract with West Ham

I believe that Eden Hazard has been approached by MLS and Ligue 1. But Hazard has decided to retire. I can’t say if the decision was good or bad. But I definitely think that all the injuries that he had been going through had an effect on his decision for sure.

It would not have been a personal decision to take, his family would have had a minority opinion on his career because when he is injured as much as he was while in Real Madrid, his family where constantly going through the ordeal with him, so he has likely decided not to put them through anymore. He also must have gotten advice from medical practitioners regarding his health and fitness. It is a good for him to consider retirement now, football training can be rigorous.

He was definitely a great player when he was in Chelsea. That is why Real Madrid approached to get him in the first place. He did win a lot of trophies with Real Madrid, even though he did not play in the finals many time. 

He will always be remembered for his best performance while in Stamford bridge.

Injury had definitely taken a big toll on his career, and he must be feeling his body. That is why he has taken the decision of retiring from football. Actually I have seen in recent times players are getting injured whenever they are entering Real Madrid. Is the Real Madrid training camp so hard?

Anyway Eden Hazard has taken a decision that is not very popular for sure.  But maybe he has taken the right decision because it is not going to be ideal for him to get his body to go through some more pain and suffering. He could definitely be playing for at least two more years. He could have also had more money. Especially if he had gone to MLS or the Saudi pro league. People are definitely going to miss him.

Westham united manager, David Moyes made good decisions in signing these new players. Selling Declan Rice was a profitable investment for the hammers, they got enough revenue to catered for their estimated budgets and also from European Conference League title. I'm impressed with the new signings, they will do a good job in the club. Mohammed Kudus, Ward-Prowse and Edson Alvarez will contribute positively to the team this current season, mere looking at their games, winning Chelsea and also thrashing Brighton, two competitive clubs in a row means they're ready to take on more challenging clubs.

It's better to leave when you're still valuable then when u lost it. Eden Hazard lost form, sometimes I ask myself if it was a wrong move for him to leave Chelsea to Real Madrid. Because from his day one in the Real Madrid he flopped.And his career hasn't been same. Injury also affected his performance too. If he's not fit again then he should leave the stage. He has won Several awards and trophies,he had a successful career no doubt.

Eden Hazard lost regular playing time plus his injury left Real Madrid with no other choice to make him a starter. Eden Hazard ended his career with bad luck, Hazard was an extraordinary player, Chelsea made his name soar high on the European stage. Here he looks so desperate that he chooses to end his career. But what if a Saudi Arabian club comes and offers a better place, like Benzema who had said he wanted to retire at Madrid but changed his mind and made the Saudi Arabian Club his last choice. In football if you can still make money then for Eden Hazard himself it has to happen and he will reconsider his decision.

He was once one of Europe's most after, but now Eden Hazard is just a shadow of himself. He will be remembered as one of Chelsea's greatest players. In Real's shirt, Hazard is the most disappointing contract in history. He spent most of his time in the hospital room due to injury or on the bench due to poor performance. Hazard could retire at 32 after turning down all offers in the summer of 2023. It was the right decision for him when injuries always haunted him.

I do not think that Hazard made a right choice for himself. He would have gone to Saudi and witness a new phase of his career. In Saudi Arabia, the media won't be on his next and the criticism will reduce. The pressure will calm and he will still be making money. He will also have a good playing time and lots more, most especially he may be lucky to revive his career for good. But if actually he decided to retire, it is his choice. His good old days in Chelsea will not be forgotten

Well I understand on the other hand Hazard is a great former player at Chelsea, but with his habit now of always getting injured it makes a big problem for him and with that I think it will close the interest of some European clubs to sign him. So as you said it's very appropriate to put the option that he will go to Arabia soon. As we know, most players who can't contribute well to their clubs in Europe and also with the pressure of being 32 years old then they will choose the option to go to Arabia. And that's the right choice, as you said he will also get a lot of benefits there. Spending the rest of his career there is a pretty good option, but on the other hand he must also be able to minimize his injury habit so that there is no disappointment from his new manager if he really goes to Arabia.
But it all comes back to him, whether he retires or goes to Arabia is his choice and only he knows what's best for him.

We all know Eden Hazard is a talented footballer who has contributed a lot to Chelsea and the Belgian national team. but unfortunately when he moved to Real Madrid he was often hit by injuries and lack of regular playing minutes at Real Madrid which had a negative impact on his career.

However, I believe the new option in his career is early retirement. Of course this may not be Eden Hazard's personal wish, but it has been taken into consideration, including family, financial, competitive, and other factors.

But the possibility of a Saudi Arabian club offering a better place, could be an option, and I agree with you, money can change Eden Hazard's decision to retire and return to play in the Saudi Arabian League.

He's pretty much like Sadio Mane who's solo carrying his national team, yeah he might not able to be included in starting line up if he join Manchester United and Liverpool. Since he's still young, he obviously want to learn many thing and develop his skill, this can be a stepping stone for him to join big team and they will consider to put him in starting line up. I hope he will join Arsenal if his performance is good in this season.

Maybe West Ham is the only team in the EPL that has made the best player transfers so far.

They have done really good business for a team, selling one player and getting three. The exit of their major player from last season opened up competition in the midfield position and these new players will want to put in their best efforts to be the choice of the coach. If these players also perform very well this season and attract interest from bigger clubs, I am sure that they will also gladly let them go to source for more younger talents to fill the void. I like how these teams keep going, with or without any player, no one is indispensable.

Teams like West Ham have started to get into the business of selling talent this season and it is certain that they will continue to produce new stars to profit handsomely at this ridiculous market rate. I think a player like Mohammed Kudus came to West Ham knowing he needed a team to add minutes to and after that he can go to a top European team that needs his services. Because after all, Mohammed Kudus certainly doesn't want the talent he already has and his good form to spend on the bench if he joins Europe's top team this season. It is highly anticipated what his market value will be for next season and now West Ham managed to sign him from Ajax for around 43 million euros.

Officially‼️ Eden Hazard is set to retire from professional football.
According to the media, the Belgian captain has plans to announce his retirement from professional football at the age of 32. Many clubs have been interested in the signing of Eden Hazard this summer at 32. But he decided to call it a day on his career. It seems that Real Madrid will be his last team in his career.
Eden Hazard has spent four seasons wearing the white shirt, and until now he has been without a team. He has had several offers to continue his career with another team, but it seems that none of them have convinced the striker. At this point in the summer, Hazard would have decided not to listen to any more proposals and hang up his boots.

Am wondering why most strikers at the age of 32 would be hanging their boots when they still have alot to offer in terms of experience that the younger players can get a thing or two...

And for a skillful player like him, Saudi Arabia wouldn't be a bad idea just to make bank $$$ then call it a day...whatever is going on could be a decision made out of duress and don't believe he wanted this! If this is true, enjoy your retirement sir.

David Moyes have done a wonderful business  with all these names introduced. The signing of Ward Prowse and Kudus excited me because I know  they would  adapt very well to the Premier League and the Westham team in general.
Kudus has been been linked with clubs like Chelsea and also Man United  due to the influence of Ten Hag but he finally choose to end with the hammers. They have made good midfield signatures how well can Bowen and Antonio  score goals.  They have to be set for the double stressful season as they have been ungraded to play Europa League.

This was definitely a good move from West Ham. They were able to make the team a lot more stronger by just selling one player. Of course the money that they got was good for Declan Rice. But I definitely did not think that they would actually be able to make the whole midfield area so much stronger with that hundred million.

So far James Ward-Prowse has contributed goals and assists for West Ham in the last few matches, but soon we will see Mohammed Kudus' debut in this week's match considering he was just brought in a few days ago from Ajax.

I think if given enough time, the players are definitely going to perform well and also better as the season progresses. And I actually think that in this season so far, they have made the best transfers for themselves. At a time when everyone is throwing money around, they managed their expenses very well.

This was quite surprising because previously Man United and Liverpool were interested in Kudus, but in the end, he chose West Ham. He is a young player with potential, therefore West Ham also dares to sign him in the long term.
West Ham's performance at the start of the season was also not bad. especially with several new names in the squad, This might make West Ham's game improve. last season they were pretty bad, and this season they made some transfers to get better.

A surprise moves by chelsea. I remember that if todd has been giving some clubs if the club is willing to buy someone who had everything. Chelsea has been choosing cole palmer to join in the club. I dunno whether the negotiation can be finished or not as there was only one day remaining.
Chelsea is now in talk with manchester city regarding possibility to buy him from the citizen. I hope chelsea will be able to get him. It's far better rather than getting balogun from arsenal.
It surprises me to see that how chelsea was picking palmer instead of consider another guy from the different league. There was also a rumor if chelsea will be completing this transfer in january.
Palmer opens the possibility to join in chelsea soon.

But are there any interests from Saudi Arabia clubs? It is hard to pin down what's going on in players mind also. Some players just don't like to move to Saudi Arabia and rather just choose to stay in European leagues so if there isn't any offers then player might choose to retire. It must be a really tough decision but he made it in the end. Wished could see him back at form like he used to in Chelsea days but guess we won't be seeing that now.

Cole Palmer is a young talent at Manchester City and I really know he has a good game every time Pep Guardiola gives him a chance. Cole Palmer failed to compete with his teammates which then made him often on the bench, but I believe he still wants to stay at Manchester City.

Cole Palmer may eventually have to give up and accept the proposal of Chelsea who are interested in him. Chelsea needed Palmer's services because I think Pochettino really knows the quality of this English player. Palmer has good pace and accuracy, but it's a shame that Pep Guardiola couldn't give him more minutes due to the stiff competition from the other midfielders in the squad.

Chelsea in the race to bring the englishman to Stamford Bridge this season, the negotiation is still on. Cole Palmer is an important project for Manchester City this season. He's young and perfectly suits in the game strategy of Pep Guardiola at Etihad Stadium. There are many pending discoveries about Palmer which would be uncovered this season, Pep started using him and given him regular play time which will sealed the development of the midfielder. I won't even be shocked if Pep Guardiola finally converts him to a winger, Palmer is good and I sensed him to be a versatile player.

Hazard took a big step forward when he signed for Real Madrid back then. But that chain of injuries he got there already brought the end of his career I'm afraid. Otherwise we could have been mentioning his name much more differently now. He could have been one of the critical members of the team.

Maybe he wasn't going to get injured that often if he stayed at Chelsea I don't know. It was like a turning point in his career. Now he has become one of the ordinary players in the industry. Maybe he wouldn't be like that for Saudi teams but it looks like he just wants to retire no matter what.

He was once one of Europe's most after, but now Eden Hazard is just a shadow of himself. He will be remembered as one of Chelsea's greatest players. In Real's shirt, Hazard is the most disappointing contract in history. He spent most of his time in the hospital room due to injury or on the bench due to poor performance. Hazard could retire at 32 after turning down all offers in the summer of 2023. It was the right decision for him when injuries always haunted him.

Honestly the hastily move of Eden Hazard to Real Madrid put an end to his once flourishing career at Chelsea, infact in 2018 he was among one of the best player in the world while at his best in Chelsea, he is a very skillful dribbler and a very pacy player, unfortunately injury dealt a big blow to his footballing career at Real Madrid, I think he  decided to retire early just to prevent his reoccurring injury problems definitely he isn't going to enjoy a regular playing time if he had decided to continue playing active football, I wish the best as he embark on another phase of his life, if possible he might consider managerial job offer after completing simet coaching courses just like Lampard, Gerrard, Arteta etc.

Hazard went to Real Madrid. Not the best choice. I mean, we're talking about a guy who was the heart and soul of Chelsea and likely one of the best dribblers in the EPL. Remember the season of 2016/17? Magic from Hazard's past! Real Madrid, though? Geez. We thought he would fill Ronaldo's shoes, but what did we get instead? A string of bad things that happened. Now, I'm very worried about how all these injuries will affect his future, both in sports and in his personal life. Sometimes you have to wonder if Madrid's charm was worth it. I guess that only Hazard knows for sure. Maybe he put his health first, which is a good thing. I'm sure I'd do the same thing!

I won't even be shocked if Pep Guardiola finally converts him to a winger, Palmer is good and I sensed him to be a versatile player.

It was against Sevilla that I know how brilliant he was,  he was the most outstanding player in the match and I wasn't suprised to see him score an equalizer in the match, Manchester City really need to equalize and win and Sevilla's defence was a tough nut to crack but thanks to Palmer's goal that saved City from losing the Super cup trophy, left for me I don't think Pep Guardiola would let such a brilliant player leave the club because he would be very useful to the club in future.
 And due to the injury of Debruyne he could be utilised in that position till he recovers or could come from the bench as a sub, you're right as  well cause he could be converted into another position without much options so as to get playing time for the team and also help him develop into a very good player, i think Palmer would have a better career in Mancity than considering a move to Chelsea all he just needs is patience and  well as fighting for a spot by impressing the coach when given an opportunity.

Arab clubs are also not insisting on Eden Hazard despite being a free transfer player but the way he doesn't like moving to Arabia so he decides to hang up his shoes.
Eden Hazard's youth has passed and he was the brightest when he was at Chelsea but his decision to move to Real Madrid made a complete change in addition to his long injury, maybe he was frustrated all this time? This is just my thought.
