⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Blitzboy]

Premier League 2737 million euros
French League 900.64 million euros
Saudi League 846.57 million euros
Serie A 845.66 million euros
Bundesliga 767 million euros
La Liga 432 million euros

These numbers are going viral over the internet but it quite a wrong statement.

For example, Seria Spend 845 million. not really since they got over 1 billion in revenue from sales so basically they kept 150 million in their pocket.

It's so suprising how the Laliga teams have spent very little in signing players but you'll see their two most outstanding team performing better than most EPL club that's spent alot to strengthen their teams, to me I feel it's not about buying the best of the best players if you don't have a good coach or good strategy or even know how to manage them well them it would be a waste of funds.
 Just like it happened to PSG last season when they got a lot of world class players to help them win the league they spent alot of money on them but still couldn't utilise their squad to win the league, okay let's also take a look at Chelsea in the EPL currently out of the amount the EPL teams spent  Chelsea spent close to half of the figure but are still finding it difficult to win against smaller teams in the EPL.

Sincerely, I've always thought Chelsea was an amazing team. Chelsea, on the other hand, does... well, Chelsea things while the LaLiga clubs maintain tight financial controls while still making waves! You'd think they'd be destroying everyone after spending so much. But alas, it appears that the smaller EPL clubs have their number. Tuchel's departure was noteworthy, didn't it? I believed that they might improve under a new coach. But when the new guy arrives and goes on a shopping binge, everything is back to normal. Really, though? Is it the coach, the team, or just some good karma from Chelsea? It's similar to when you get a fancy device but are unable to make it work despite having the documentation!

Ramos did not seem interested in the large salary offer from Al-Ittihad, he preferred Sevilla as a club at the start of his professional career. Ramos still has the opportunity to play in the top league even though he is 37 years old. Sevilla is also one of the clubs competing in the UCL this season.

Sergio Ramos is known for making records with his attitude and red cards. I could imagine being carded from Saudi Arabia altogether if he play there
As a free agent, he didn't receive an offer from Inter Miami, a Turkish team was looking for him too and offered €11m a year but he refused. He didn't care also about Al-Ittihad offer of €20m a year and preferred to join Sevilla which only can afford €1m which he accepted. Normally after medical visit he will be a Sevilla defender again after 18 years from his departure there.

What makes you so confident that Joao Felix is a good signing? He scored about 1 goal every for games for Atletico Madrid and the same ratio counts for Chelsea. I am not sure whether this is the player that will give Barcelona the final boost to get back to the European top group. In my opinion, this is not going to work for them as Joao Felix is still an average striker at best. It looks nice how he sometimes plays, but what does it help the team when he actually doesn't really score or assist. There are a few very overrated strikers, which is demonstrated by the transfer fees clubs paid for them, and Joao Felix has been one of those overrated players for a long time. He got hyped in one moment and that was it.

Barcelona made a costly mistake this summer when they signed Joao Felix from Atletico Madrid, perhapes he always records incredible performance in Portugal. I would suggest them to raise additional academy players because Felix is unlikely to make an impact on his debut. Diego Simeone has ruled him out of his plans for this season because he is not adaptable to Los Colchoneros' style of play. Joao Felix was one of Atletico Madrid's few young talents before being loaned to Chelsea to gain experience. A footballer who received a red card on his Stamford Bridge debut. Félix is a competent frontline player, but he struggles to score goals in league games.

I would assume that they would source more players from their academy if they could, but if there aren't any players who would be able to make it into the first squad and stand the test in La Liga, they have no choice but to buy players from elsewhere.

But yes the Joao Felix transfer is most likely going to fail the same way the transfers failed when he went to Atletico Madrid or Chelsea. How he is at top club number 3 and I am curious to see how he will play.

Kyle Walker has officially signed a contract extension with Manchester City until 2026. It was rumored to have joined Bayern Munich but that didn't continue and Kyle Walker changed his mind by staying at Manchester City. Even though there is an opportunity to try a new challenge outside England, Kyle Walker has made the right decision and at least he can still contribute to Manchester City. Currently Kyle Walker is 33 years old and with the duration of the contract he will stay at Manchester City until he is 35 and even if after that he wants to retire or leave, he will fully become a living legend for Manchester City.

Kyle Walker reportedly wants a guarantee of sufficient playing time in the main squad, and Man City has agreed to this. Of course this keeps Walker for two more seasons until his contract expires in June 2026, I think Pep needs a leadership figure to keep up with young players.

When Kevin De Bruyne was injured, Pep automatically appointed Walker to lead Halaand and his friends on the field. In my opinion, this is one of the factors why Walker was retained and given a new contract.

Back to home, back to Sevilla, and back to La Liga!
Sergio Ramos is making a return to Sevilla, after a long 18 years he left the club. It's definitely a great decision. He truly epitomizes a successful career because he arrived, he achieved, he conquered, and now he wants to give back to where it all started. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in Sevilla colors again and winning the love and support of the fans.

I'm really looking forward to seeing him in Sevilla colors again and winning the love and support of the fans.

I am really wondering what the reason is why he goes back to Sevilla. I don't really care because I also don't think that he will make much of a difference, although I get the point that he can now play the Champions League again, which must be a pretty cool side effect when he goes home to the club where everything began.

What I could hardly believe is that he couldn't find an agreement with a club from Saudi Arabia, but how is that even possible as a free agent? Usually they would just put up a ton of cash and the player signs the contract, period. But it is said that he wanted a three years contract and he was only offered a two years contract. That is quite weird because they would definitely sign him for whatever terms he wanted given that they literally sign everyone who has ever had a big name in a big league.

But maybe he didn't really want to go there, that's also an option. Will be fun to watch them play against Real Madrid in La Liga. Let's see if he tackles his old buddies the same way and receives a red card.

It is very rare for a player to refuse a large salary offer. It is possible that Ramos chose Sevilla because of encouragement from his family who did not want to move outside Europe. Yes, we all know that Ramos was formed at Sevilla, and became a legend for Real Madrid. It could be that his return is a form of appreciation and gratitude for his old club, that makes sense too.

Sevilla is currently slumped at the bottom of the standings, they have not been able to get a single point so far. Ramos is expected to be able to bring Sevilla to winning ways, wishing Ramos the best for the rest of his career.

I think the big names that were being pursued by Saudi league which had the chance to join, have already joined. Right now, the Saudi league is currently in pursuit of some big names. But I don't think they are going to join the Saudi league.

The latest news I heard was about Mohamed Salah. I definitely do not think that he is going to join the Saudi league. There will probably be a few transfers happening before September 7th, but I don’t think those are going to be really big. But if you guys have any news, please let me know though.

I thought it was definitely going to be better for him if he actually chose to go to the Saudi league because they were offering him a lot of money. But I also respect his decision, he decided to go to his childhood club. Of course, this was definitely an emotional decision taken by Sergio Ramos. I always say that a player should choose money at the end of his career. But at the same time, I don't think we can actually criticize the decision of any player who chose to go to his childhood club towards the end of his career and decided to end his career in that club.

Perhaps they're not adapted enough yet, so the game isn't as good as I'd like it to be. But I agree, spending a billion and barely achieving anything is not the best thing to do. You can spend a lot less money and get results twice as good at least. I think they just bought the wrong players that can help them.....

Exactly, if you spend alot of money on the right players that would adapt fast into the coaches system of play them they'll make a difference but when you even if you spend 2 billion on the wrong players with little experience then you'll end up wasting funds because they'll continue to yield poor results and I think Chelsea over spent this season on the wrong players that's not meant for the club.
 Well they've got a good coach and it's left for him to act fast and make fast changes to save his managerial career at Chelsea if ot he'll end up being sacked like others before him, if i were him I'll select the players I trust to adapt fast to my tactics and make up my starting 11 and bench the remaining and even give them more serious training sessions until they adapt,because lastly everyone would blame the manager for their poor form if he keeps featuring the flops in the team.

I think the coach won't be too upset if he gets sacked, he can find a job in case of anything, but the Chelsea players will be left to play without a coach, given that they are below 10th place it's not the best option for them. I think if the coach put out those he trusted nothing would change, moreover it sounds strange as if only one core should play and nothing should change

He has taken up an important role for Manchester City and is more involved in games for this season from the few games I have watched Manchester City play. He is a very important player for the club and the new responsibility will even bring out more of the best in him. The other player I noticed will grow to be a good player is Rasmus Højlund for Manchester United. I like the way he played in the few minutes of his debut. He is powerful, very fast and looks eager to want to start scoring goals already for Manchester United. Those are good traits for a striker to have like Manchester City's striker.

[un_rank]

Sevilla might not be the last club that Sergio Ramos plays for (maybe the last in Europe) and he will still have an opportunity to get a bank breaking salary before he finally hangs his boot.
Sevilla need a leader with the winning mentality that Ramos has to turn their season around and he gets the opportunity to return to where it all started almost 2 decades after.

To Liverpool fans the Saudi Pro league transfer window cannot end any sooner, cause they will want to put the rumors of Salah considering an offer behind them and focus on the season. It might just be paper talk but it affects the concentration of the players and distracts the team.

I thought their transfer window was going to be closed by September 20. Because it was written on Transfermarkt just like that. But I see that they changed it also interestingly.

Salah was already not going to be able to sign for them as Liverpool are determined about not selling him now. As far as I know Al-Ittihad's last offer was around £200m but Liverpool don't even think about it. Because the window is already close for English teams. Even if Liverpool had an intention to sell him for that much they wouldn't have been brought anyone to replace him now.

He is powerful, very fast and looks eager to want to start scoring goals already for Manchester United. Those are good traits for a striker to have like Manchester City's striker.

Rasmus Højlund is a young player who has good potential. it all depends on Ten Hag in cultivating Rasmus Højlund's potential. although his debut did not end well because United lost. but he showed his quality. maybe in the next match, he will play in United's main squad.
Ten Hag must see the position and role that Rasmus Højlund is indeed suitable for. Ten Hag forced Rashford several times to become United's attacking leader. but it didn't work out too much as Rashford also seems more often and likes to play out wide with the pace he has. maybe Ten Hag should think about the right position to make room for Rashford and Rasmus Højlund. when the two match, it might be a weapon for Ten Hag to make United stronger.

Erik Ten Hag knows the quality of players he's hiring for games, we would experience more tougher games this season from Manchester United. The new striker, Rasmus Højlund returning from injury and making good impacts on the pitch. His presence was felt and a big threat to his opponents, he's agile and always ready to compete full strength with the defenders. On his debut against Gunners, it definitely means they can be a prominent and permanent striker for the Red Devils. It's his first game and there's more games he will definitely feature in, but currently the he will be pairing with Anthony Martial.

Liverpool will still have to start considering a replacement for him because they will loose him when the African Cup Of Nations start, and it is possible that even if the Saudi's cannot sign him now, that they will be back for him in the next transfer window with an even better offer more difficult to refuse.

Liverpool needs to start planning for that because he will not remain in the club forever and his time with them is already coming to a close.

Salah could definitely have been the reason why Liverpool might have got a lot of money. I am also sure that with so much money Liverpool could easily bring a replacement for him. I definitely think this was a golden chance for Liverpool to get a huge amount of money that was going to give them financial stability for quite a long time. but they have decided that Salah is currently more important to them instead of money. Actually, I personally don't think that was a wise decision, but at the same time, I do respect the decision.

With the kind of performance Martial put out yesterday it would be hard for him to see start any premier league. Hojlund came on and had a better impact than the Frenchman. His hold up play was top notch that I would say since the departure of Cavani and Ronaldo united have found a proper striker, this time around a younger one that could win games on his own for the club. Two things Hojlund needs now is quality deliveries by the players most especially his wingers and then the support of the fans because he will need it as the season progresses. Premier is physical and he needs to start winning those battles against the defenders and as such he could go games without goals. And as we all know once a striker is signed for a big money like him and does two matches with its goals fans start calling them out I hope United fans don’t turn against the boy like that and give him time. As for martial I think his game might just be reduce to subs and starting of cup games for now

Ok so let us assume that you are right and Liverpool could bring in a good replacement for Salah. Which player would you go for if you were Klopp? Which player is available in the market and ready to leave his club? Osimhen? Not even a chance with the money, which is weird, I agree, but this is the world we now live in when it comes to the transfer market. You would think that with so much money it must be easy to just replace Salah, but as we have seen in this transfer period it is a horror scenario to lack a striker and to try and get one from another club.
