⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[rendravolt]

After watching Cucurella's performance against Wimbledon yesterday, Manchester United are cooling their interest in the player, despite having submitted a loan proposal. They are now turning their attention to Sergio Reguilon, especially as Marcos Alonso is unwilling to leave Spain.

Have Manchester United just realized that if they bring in Cucurella this season it will only increase weaknesses in the defense line? We all know he is a left-back who has had poor quality since last season and even now he hasn't changed at all. I think Manchester United must find a replacement for Luke Shaw who really has quality and not just look for a replacement for this season. Sergio Reguilon is the only candidate who will fill the position left by Luke Shaw due to injury and now it is just a matter of negotiating the process with Spurs to carry out this transfer.

Does Manchester United need to watch the performance of Cucurella before they will know his capabilities and deficiencies?
We have been together in this England and every true football lover will attest that the best of Cucurella was in Brighton.
Cucurella has been a shadow of himself in Chelsea since he arrived under Graham Potter.
I sincerely believe that Manchester United scout needs to be questioned.
Their business for the past 4 seasons in the transfer window has been totally unprofitable.

After watching Cucurella's performance against Wimbledon yesterday, Manchester United are cooling their interest in the player, despite having submitted a loan proposal. They are now turning their attention to Sergio Reguilon, especially as Marcos Alonso is unwilling to leave Spain.

Do Manchester United have any choice? Chelsea already sealed the deal of getting him in the squad, I don't think Pochettino will entertain any loan deal to give out what they fought to have from Brighton, Manchester United want a contract that could be terminate January but Chelsea don't want that, Cucurella performance in Chelsea against Wimbledon was more than average, he is worth more than what Manchester United is bringing to the table. It's better Manchester go for Sergio Regulion, the defender loan deal in Tottenham has expired, if the club is not willing to put him back to the team, pushing the loan deal will be accepted without rejection considering the name of the club and the merit he is going to have it accepted.

I don't know why Manchester united is yet to process Maguire deal, West ham was piss off with their non cooperation and process Rice money to other players. The more I look into Hary Maguire in Old Trafford, the more I think it's turning to political force because why keep a man that is not generating nothing but attention from people, it's better they loan him out instead benching and doing nothing.

At the moment João Félix is only dreaming of playing for Barcelona, which he ones said that they've been his drean club and he'll really want to play for the club, but the problem with Barcelona is the financial crisis and currently holding the club if not xavi would really love to have him in the club he'll make a good addiction to the squad depth and easily get into the starting 11 making a good replacement for Dembelé.
 But i believe if they don't end up getting him today, then he'll likely move to the Epl before the window ends tonight, probably return back to Chelsea where he was loaned last season, he performed well in the team despite their poor form and now they have a better coach in think it would be lovely to watch him play under Pochettino who's a better coach with more experience than the previous ones after Tuchel.

This is like what you want doesn't want you at the moment, Barcelona is having issues with finances but deep down, if they want to signed Joao Felix, it's will take them few days to that, the club is not interested in the player and even if they are, Atletico Madrid might not be ready to let go of the loan deal cash flow they are having from the player and the fact that his Chelsea transfer wasn't a successful one will reduce his value in the market transfer.

I guess so, but maybe Ten Haag sees some talent in him that others don't.

But isn't the defense line of Manchester United more or less complete or why are they still watching out for a potential substitute?

I think most of the transfers that take place either today or tomorrow have been cooking for a long time already or they are a shot from the hip, which in most cases I think does not go as planned. But if they fear to be out of defenders because of injuries or suspensions during the season, it is of course better to have a player who might not be the best, but who can still get it sorted out.

I have always been a fan of Marc Cucurella. He is a player who use to support counterattacks and give some accurate crosses from the flanks. After his transfer to Chelsea, everything changed. The quality of the coach sometimes affects the performance of players, Graham Potter contributed to his low performance.  He is still a young player with potential if he is given the right training and support. Mauricio Pochettino will enjoy the Spanish defender if he supports him. Maybe Erik Ten Hag wants to get the player because he knows how to make him improve.

This is like what you want doesn't want you at the moment, Barcelona is having issues with finances but deep down, if they want to signed Joao Felix, it's will take them few days to that, The club is not interested in the player and even if they are, Atletico Madrid might not be ready to let go of the loan deal cash flow they are having from the player and the fact that his Chelsea transfer wasn't a successful one will reduce his value in the market transfer.

I just read that Liverpool is showing interest in signing Joao Felix on from Atletico Madrid. He is seen as a replacement for Mo Salah who has shown interest in moving to Saudi Arabia. The Portuguese player has no future in Atletico Madrid and he will be pleased to return to the English premier league. I just hope Joao regains his form because he has not lived up to his worth.

[baeva]

Yeah, it's weird, especially as surely some of the clubs that wanted him in their squad were European, so they're not the worst offers. The option with Saudi Arabia is like the very last option, or an option to finish his career, to earn money for the last time. Nevertheless, it's his decision, even though it's a strange one

The decision made by Hazard must have been carefully thought through because he has often been injured and most likely he doesn't want to harm his new team by the injuries that often come to him. Of course he is still quite young because Messi and Ronaldo are older than him but they is still able to play, of course this is factored in by his strong physique.

He has given a good game with chelsea in his golden era and he found a problem with real madrid due to frequent injuries. Maybe that's the best story and memory he will always remember. I also wish him success if Hazard changes profession after announcing his retirement as a football player.

Well comparing him to messi or ronaldo is not quite right, but about the injuries I agree with you, apparently he is tired of them already. But still it seems to me that to try himself at least in the Saudi League would be good, at least to think about it, and not to go into denial and end his career at 32

Marcos Alonso should be the least player to play for Man United is he different from the Alex Telles they sold to Sevilla on loan and then Al Nassr. He will not make it to the team that deal should be blocked easily by the fans he does not meet up with the qualities needed.
Cucurella shouldn't have featured for Chelsea if they don't want him to leave it is a strategy to play around with another club when you do not wish to see your player leaving. Regulon has not been pary of the Tottenham side for long so he will not make it. To man United is all he can do now for his good. Can they get this player immediately.

The Portuguese player has no future in Atletico Madrid and he will be pleased to return to the English premier league. I just hope Joao regains his form because he has not lived up to his worth.

Joao Felix looks close opportunity will join Barcelona, its happening after Barcelona releases Ansu Fati to Brighton Albion on loan for the next season, there are have on space left for Joao Felix joining Barcelona with loan option. I think depend who will give interested offering and make Atletico Madrid will priority which one more beneficial offer from interested teams want to get Joao Felix's sign. Window summer transfer will close few days later, its not have much time for negotiation and teams brave with excited offering bid will get bigger chance for signing Joao Felix, current rumor with Liverpool will loss Mohamad Salah are linked with Saudi club they have prepare another option for replacing Moh Salah position.

[lizarder]

Ansu Fati can now realize his dream of playing in the Premier League, Brighton moved quickly in the hunt for Ansu Fati, Brighton movement was successful in overtaking Tottenham who were also interested in Ansu Fati. Brighton has given Barcelona and Ansu Fati more certainty than Tottenham, Fati loan deal has been approved by both teams until June 2024. The agreement that occurred did not include a permanent purchase option clause and most of the salary was covered by Brighton. Barcelona still believes in Ansu Fati abilities so they don't let him go permanently, Barcelona really hope that after Ansu Fati finishes his loan period with Brighton he can increase his ability to become Barcelona future project.

Previously, Barcelona had also released Lenglet to Aston Villa, Barcelona's strategy of releasing players worked perfectly, after this Barcelona might bring in Joao Felix to strengthen the front line.

This is a good option and Barcelona know how to take advantage of the situation because Ansu Fati is not included in Xavi's plans this season and giving Brighton a loan opportunity can keep his form. The absence of a release clause will also benefit Barcelona because when Ansu Fati gets his best form he can return to Barcelona or it could be if Barcelona wants to let go in the following seasons for Ansu Fati's market price it will definitely continue to rise and they can benefit from the La Masia academy player. Tottenham want a full buyout if I'm not mistaken and are they also offering a loan option?

No one knows for sure whether Ansu Fati's loan to Brighton will affect their plans to recruit Joao Felix because Atletico Madrid set a fairly high price for the player, making it difficult for Barcelona to reach a verbal agreement regarding his release price. It will be interesting for us to follow developments and it could be that the closing of the transfer market will provide several surprises for Barcelona in the future.

Folarin Balogun transfer has officially been completed by Monaco. The transfer fee is said to be 30 million euros but as far as I know it goes up to a higher level with add-ons. But still this is a really favorable deal for a skilled centre-forward like him in my opinion. He has been very impressive in the recent times.

He scored 20+ goals in the Ligue 1 last season and attracted the attention of many teams. His name was called with teams like Chelsea and Tottenham also but he is going to stay in France from now on.

I think he might have done the right thing for himself. Because he has already adapted to the league well. He can shine more in time to be a target for bigger teams again.

[klidex]

How funny this guy was, i remember when fati got so many offers from EPL club but he rejected it caused by he was still wanna staying in barcelona but he does U turn now. It's very weird to see that he chooses brighton instead of some big clubs in EPL which has interest to buy him.
Now that Fati has joined a new club, his father no longer poses a threat to Barcelona. Fati's father was always threatening barcelona if the club was trying to sell him.  

Previously, Barcelona had also released Lenglet to Aston Villa, Barcelona's strategy of releasing players worked perfectly, after this Barcelona might bring in Joao Felix to strengthen the front line.

Barcelona needs to rebalance its financial first before trying to buy felix from atletico madrid. Barcelona has a responsibility to raise money to fix the financial first. The club will not rush to buy him with no sense price.
I remind you that barcelona is trying to sell eric garcia now.

At the moment João Félix is only dreaming of playing for Barcelona, which he ones said that they've been his drean club and he'll really want to play for the club, but the problem with Barcelona is the financial crisis and currently holding the club if not xavi would really love to have him in the club he'll make a good addiction to the squad depth and easily get into the starting 11 making a good replacement for Dembelé.

I think it seems like Joao Felix was thinking about money but I don't know if this is true or not because his desire to go to the Barca club at that time surprisingly changed when some other clubs tried to make higher offers and for me if Joao Felix only thought about money he could have gone to Arabia Saudi received an offer from one of the clubs there to get a bigger salary than having to be confused about where he will go, while now the transfer market is closing soon and whether he will only stay at the holding club, namely Atletico Madrid.

Liverpool in contact with Bayern Munich over Ryan Gravenberch. Player wants the move. Discussions ongoing
https://x.com/_pauljoyce/status/1696931476321804573

On the last day now the agreement. Ryan Gravenberch to Liverpool has been ends today, the medical check they also took today. Last season he came for 18.5 million euros from Ajax Amsterdam and now he be sold for a transfer fee of 40 million euros. And now Joao Palhinha going to Bayern Munich? The money for the trasnfer they have it now. They have sold 5 players and brought 3 new ones, with this they habe earning 25 million euros.

[Jody.Drummer]

If Liverpool releases Mo Salah to Al Ittihad, it will clearly be a big loss and will also make Liverpool's attack line dull. Without Mo Salah it is not the right decision, Mo Salah still has a role that cannot be replaced. Liverpool is currently honing Nunez abilities. However, Nunez was still able to move freely because Mo Salah opened up wide space in the opponent's defense. Releasing Mo Salah would be the same as bringing Liverpool's performance down. Again asking Mo Salah himself, is he really after money rather than his career, which is currently clearly better in Europe? Apart from that, not only Mo Salah's career, his reputation is also still more productive than other strikers.

Liverpool has showing their reaction to this rumour that he will refuse the offers from Al Ittihad because Moh Salah is important player and moreover summer transfer is near to ended so there is no more time for them to look for the replacement of Salah if they release him and the rumour said Salah actually are willing moved to Al Ittihad but he decide to moved for next season but Al Ittihad want him this summer so that's why they attempts to raises their bid to 150 millions

Other Liverpool player Ibrahima Konate also tempted by the same team Al Ittihad but he has decide to refuse Al Ittihad offers because Konate feel happy at Liverpool and he decide to stayed and help Liverpool to gets the trophies

Well it's true that what Klopp has chosen is quite reasonable. I see Al Ittihad as really wanting him to come, they have prepared a fantastic amount of money there but Liverpool have stated they are not at all interested in releasing Mohammad Salah. As you said, Mohammad Salah is an important player for Liverpool and if he leaves then maybe something bad will happen to Klopp's squad, plus the transfer market will end soon. So maybe Klopp will not take the risk for this, although they will be able to get a big profit if they accept an offer from the Arab club, but the club's performance is more important and it's true that you say with that amount of money maybe Klopp can get players who even have above-average quality but with a tight time like now it is very unlikely to find a replacement. That's right, I've also heard that Al Ittihad have increased their offer to 100 million + 50 million, which is fantastic but they can't afford to be careless. I think a deal will be possible when Mohammad Salah approaches the end of his contract there, because of course Liverpool don't want him to leave as a free agent.

It will be interesting for us to follow developments and it could be that the closing of the transfer market will provide several surprises for Barcelona in the future.

You mean Brighton, not Aston Villa. Ansu Fati looks like a great fit for Brighton, he can pair up well with Mitoma and other very good players from the team like Danny Welbeck, Kaoru Mitoma and Solly March to improve their attacking strength. There is no option of a buy in the loan deal, so he will return to Barcelona after the loan spell, or maybe his performance will impress other premier league team and that they will then try to tempt Barcelona to sell him. The biggest fear I have for Fati on this his loan move is that he does not get injured, because that is something that he is prone to.

I see no wrong with Chelsea's signing of Cole Palmer with such an amount of money, Despite him being young so far he's equal to the task or lived up to expectations. The player is young, skilled, and has a promising future, Several times I watched him being featured in some Manchester City games his performances were exciting, and right now based on Chelsea's current situation and the urge to further boost its squad and coupled with the number of injuries that the team has experienced just in the starting this season, no club will hesitate to bring in a player of his caliber.

Caring much on the amount clubs spend on signing new good players doesn't really sound well to me because if you look deeply you will see that those players bring more to the table for those clubs even that will exceed the signing fees and the Saudi Arabian club sides are making good use of those chances of buying good players with huge amount since their are convinced that the player will bring more for their clubs and we can see the result of those signing from the results that are coming out from there.

Chelsea have been on the verge of breaking down in the last few seasons back and that is big a problem for the club,  and If signing the player could change the faith of the club in this season then it is a welcome development and from Chelsea's recent performance it shows that the club is really on the cause of making new history if the efforts and skills of the players are fairly utilized.

Would you agree or do you think Chelsea and PSG would have been all the same with Guardiola coaching them (all else equal)?

No they wouldn't be the same with their present form. Having money is another thing and how to spend and manage your money is another thing differently.
Gaurdiola is an expereience coach that knows what he needs,we have seen how he has converted Man city into a great club and the strongest presently because he has the skill and knowledge of doing that. PSG is a rich club also with Chelsea but the lack the quality of a good coach. Buying the right players at the right time is what matters alot. Chelsea will be doing better and might have even won EPL if it was Gaurdiola that was their coach,same with PSG. Behind every successful club there must be a great coach and not money. Though.money can turn things around but that is when there is a good manager to make it happen.

That is what I think, too. I don't think that the coaches PSG had were really bad, but Tuchel was good and couldn't do much, Pochettino is average, and Gaultier I don't know really what to think about him.

But I am sure that if Guardiola had ever coached the best PSG team they had in recent years, they would have had a much higher chance of being way more dominant in every single competition and they would have a different squad. He would have added some decisive players on some positions and he would have taken care of a well balanced team.

It's possible for any coach if a team is willing to give them a chance for a few seasons instead of just 1 or 2 seasons. Manchester City gave Pep Guardiola many opportunities and they also put a lot of faith in Pep by following his wishes and plans every season, as a result Pep Guardiola really succeeded in proving that.

Every trainer can experience the same thing if they get good support financially and stay longer. At PSG there is a lot of pressure especially because they have set high targets every season in the Champions League. Not a single coach has won that title for PSG yet, but Luis Enrique has a chance to do so if the two things I said are fulfilled by PSG.

[coinlocket$]

Bonucci is going to Berling.

What an end for this player, when you stay to long in a club and you became the villain from the hero you supposed to be.

It's one thing to give a manager an opportunity to try make up for his mistakes or prove himself worthy and it's another thing for the manager to live up to expectations, for instance Manchester gave Pep chances to prove himself and he did by winning the Premier league which made the to back him up with more funds to get more required players to help him strengthen his team based on the fact that he's lived up to their expectations and fulfilled what's demanded of him.
 But there are some managers that even with the right backings and opportunities given to them they won't really have good performance and might even end up making wrong decision that would cause a destruction in the dressing room, so what I'm trying to say is that it takes a good experienced coach with talent like Pep to come  into a club and make a difference.

reference from Revalo, at this point, Barca and Atletico were asked to reach an understanding and negotiations have begun, to close the transfer. Cules view the operation with reasonable optimism and the belief that it will close this Friday. Barca, with the departure of Dembele and Ansu Fati, needs to strengthen its attack line, Xavi's priority and Joao Cancelo's right-back position.

From the same page, Jorge Mendes and Joan Laporta, who show understanding in this market, and Ansu Fati's departure to Brigthon opens the door for Joao Felix to Barca, because the salary gap left by his departure is also relevant.
However, approaching the close of this summer's transfer market, there is no news regarding Joao Felix's report to Barcelona. other rumors, there is talk of other possibilities. it looks like he left for Saudi Arabia or returned to Benfica, or rejoined Chelsea, because towards the end of the closing the rumors intensified regarding Joao Felix. Well, to be sure, we'll see after this transfer window closes.
