⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Slow death]

on 7 september it is over. then the transfer period (Saudi Pro League) ends in Saudi Arabia. that was announced today by the league there. i think that is good. now i am curious which player will transfer to the Saudi Pro League until thursday.

This was probably one of the seasons in which more foreign players were signed to play in the Arab League and that was because Cristiano Ronaldo went to play in the Arab League, and with this news that the market would close on the 7th of this month, the news channels didn't say anything anymore. there is some rumor about players going to the Arab league, I confess that I will miss that and looking at the next opening of the market, I highly doubt that the signings that are made in the next opening of the market and even in future market openings we will see many signings of players for the league Arabic as happened this year.

𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆: Sevilla are prepared to announce Sergio Ramos as new top signing

Sergio Ramos preferred to return to Sevilla where he started playing than to have gone to play in Saudi Arabia where he could be receiving a lot of money, perhaps he must have analyzed the cultural issues and laws and the family's adaptation to Arab customs and realized that it was very risky going to Saudi Arabia, I don't know if that's what dictated him rejecting Saudi Arabia and choosing to return to Spain, but my assumption is that that's it. Now the question is that Sevilla is worse this season, in the table they are in last place with 3 consecutive defeats in 3 games, in other words Sevilla still haven't won any game, maybe they will fight to not be relegated, something really bad.

This means that Sergio Ramos' task in defense will not be an easy task and especially with a team that has conceded a lot of goals in 3 games, I'm wondering how Sergio Ramos will feel when Sevilla plays against Real Madrid, which was a team in He played for many years and was a very important player and his relationship with Real Madrid did not end well. It will be interesting to see how he behaves when he plays against Real Madrid

Pretty busy day in transfer season. Major leagues close out soon and a lot of movement happened.
Tanguy Ndombele and Davinson Sánchez to Galatasaray. Mason Greenwood to Getafe on loan. Kasper Schmeichel to Anderlecht. Yannick Carrasco to Al-Shabab. These are highlights for me. I think there will be more big transfers before the deadline.
Conference League team lists have to be given tonight so I'm not sure how they'll do it on time but Nicolas Pepe to Beşiktaş is on the desk. Arsenal don't want him, Beşiktaş is keen to sign him but the time is narrow now. Arsenal paid 80 million Euro for him in 2019 but he never meet expectations and he has a huge contract so they want to get rid of him. Let's see if it finishes before midnight.

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.

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.

Even as he get older, Kyle Walker is one of the most important players for Man City, with more game time agitations he was linked to Bayern Munich but that didn't go through as well.
He has a very good pace and good at defending and attacking, that has made Pep think twice when deciding to sell or keep the player. Another tough season this will be they have both the champions league and premier league to defend.
Hojlund has a good mentality in the next game they will be back better, some loses are good no matter what. Arsenal deserves the match winning.

Yes you are accurate; the Tottenham new boss has done well to chase off the unwanted players in his squad; quietly too unlike a coach in Manchester. Ndombele gets a chance to rejuvenate his career in turkey; while Greenwood gets a chance with Getafe.. With Pepe banished; i believe its better he finds a club in turkey to showcase his talents.

With the kind of performance Martial put out yesterday it would be hard for him to see start any premier league.

One player whose inclusion in the next few games that Manchester United will play is still very well doubted is Sancho because of the recent issue he has had with Erik Ten Hag disagreeing publicly with the reports of him not playing against arsenal because he did not train hard enough. We know that the coach has strict rules and do not mind benching any player no matter your status like he did to Ronaldo, so Sancho may spend some games watching from the bench and will likely want to leave the club in the next opportunity to leave.

It is definitely going to be closed on September 7th and it is already official.

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.

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.

Well, they had to bring someone in who is not world-renowned. And I am pretty sure that there are attacking players whom we don’t know the names of or actually good. But it will definitely be addressed to let Mohamed Salah go and bring someone like that. And we also know that if someone is showing potential, he is going to be more than a hundred million by default.

And no, there is no way they will be able to bring Victor Osimhen. I definitely do agree that the market is very unreliable right now. But Liverpool could definitely make other arrangements by selling Mohamed Salah. Life wouldn’t have come to a standstill without him for sure. It would have been a little hard to adjust at the start though. Probably they didn’t want to take a risk like they did when they sold Sadio Mané.

What about the MLS is there any rumors from the league wanting to sign Sergio Ramos, his asking fee is too high for any club in Europe to sign him and he can't perform anymore at the level he used to perform when he was younger, he should lower his demands or leave Europe.

Saudi Arabian League will be opened to accepting him, clubs there should summit a proposal to him and he can't say no. He should be moving to the league outside if Europe and start preparing for his retirement so that younger generation if football will have space to play.

Sergio Ramos had a wonderful time playing in Europe, he has motivated many young players into becoming defender as he's one of the most popular  defender in the world. He has many champion league and has won many other trophies, he has done well in Europe.

Ramos already had a verbal agreement with Sevilla, he is going back there at the moment. I think it is quite good and important to make sure that we are going to end up with something different, it should be important to realize that Ramos will not accept to go towards teams like that just yet, he wants to play a bit more at teams that matter.

Sevilla is a good one at that, they are both at La Liga and they are also in the UCL as well, which gives him chance to play at the top flight a bit more. Doesn't mean they will do well, but it is better than Saudi or MLS situation for him, it still gives him chance to go against the best in the world and try his luck. It could definitely be a good thing for him to do that for a year more.

Waking up to discover Eric Bailly's transfer to Besiktas finalised on Fabrizio Romano's Twitter account. Manchester United has released another player this season, this time a defender who has been unreliable and prone to injuries. Erik Ten Hag did not include him in his season initiatives, therefore the Red Devils provided him the green light to leave this summer. It's obviously awesome news for the Ivorian footballer who is leaving Old Trafford for a new team. As a result of the new boss's indifference, he will now get typical regular game time.

I think he made the right decision in moving to his former club than moving over to the MLS or Saudi league, well he's had a good time playing European football and has many trophies to show for it, he's a great player and would forever be in the heart of Realmadrid fans, that's the club he was most successful in a had quite a lot of experience with the team, anyways moving to Sevilla would be of benefit cause he'll have the chance to play champions league football again.
 But his current team are underperforming this season and are currently at the bottom of the table, so they'll definitely need an experienced player like Ramos to  help restore a balance to their defence line, and since he's a defender that moves forward and is capable of scoring goals he'll definitely be of help for them during corners and set pieces to get the ball into the net.

Old super star players have a high ego, no one will admit if their performance are declining due to get older and keep demanding high salary. There's no league willing to pay high salary for a popular player without good performance except Saudi Professional League.

So their options are either retire or joining Saudi Arabia, this can't be denied.

That is much more realistic than hoping to get a big salary in Europe and the impact of declining performance due to being no longer young is not the right choice because any club will definitely take many things into consideration. Sergio Ramos has had big offers from Saudi Pro Legue and MLS clubs, but so far there have been no further talks regarding his future. Sergio Ramos can still play for the next two seasons and choosing to retire may not be a good idea, it's better to accept an offer from Sevilla because reportedly they have reached an oral agreement.

If you look at Fabrizio Romano tweet it seems that a true verbal agreement has been reached, which means it could be that Ramos has agreed on the amount of salary he will receive. However, on the other hand, I don't know for sure why Ramos is reluctant to join the Saudi Pro Legue. In my estimation, Al Ittihad does not want to give the amount of salary that Ramos wants, in the sense that he is not unable to.

Or another possibility is that Ramos will go to the SPL in the following season, after defending Sevilla for one season first. It is difficult to predict because Ramos has free transfer status, he can go to any club without transfer restrictions.

In some of the media that I have read there has been an oral agreement between the two, but the issue of discussing salaries has not been discussed further because, as Besiktas said before, they have difficulty meeting Sergio Ramos's too high salary. I also see Sevilla being far less likely to agree a huge salary for him unless as you say Sergio Ramos is willing to be given a salary below what he wants.

Speculation regarding the future of Sergio Ramos seems to be getting brighter and he will have a high chance of returning to his home club when he starts his career because he has reached an oral agreement. I think the transfer free factor is keeping Sergio Ramos from deciding so quickly about his future and maybe he is considering playing with his home club before retiring or going to Saudi Pro Legue.

It is true that Eric Bailly has officially moved to Besiktas a team from Turkey which is also one of the top teams in the Turkish Super League.
It seems that the decision to move to the Turkish Super League with Eric Bailly to Besiktas was the right choice because when he played for Manchester United he felt very uncomfortable and also felt like he was being treated as a stepchild who was not really expected, even though he was at the start of the season joining Manchester United he performed very well as a central defender and was able to help Manchester United win several championship trophies.

With this move hopefully Eric Bailly can get what he wants of course eligibility as a main player but unfortunately it looks like he only has a one year contract if there is no extension with Besiktas.

Ramos decision to return to Sevilla surprised many parties. Sevilla is not a foreign club for Ramos because he wore the Sevilla jersey at the start of his career, but this decision made him miss the opportunity to earn a large salary in order to continue his career with Sevilla.
Before the deal with Sevilla took place, there were two other offers coming for Ramos from a Turkish club and a Saudi Arabian club. Galatasaray is willing to pay Ramos 11 million euros, while Al Ittihad dares to offer a salary of 20 million euros.

Ramos passed up the opportunity for a big salary for the club that has made his name as a professional footballer, he is estimated to earn around 2 million euros per year, the amount is 10x less than the offers he got in Saudi Arabia. However, Ramos can still play in the top flight with Sevilla, he can enjoy more challenging competition for the rest of his career. Perhaps he prefers the honor of being able to retire with his boyhood club over money.

At least now Eric Bailly is much freer and his decision is very correct to join Besiktas. Actually, since the beginning of joining Manchester United he was a good defender, but over time he lost his performance due to injury and his name began to fade. Erik ten hag is a perfectionist coach and when a player doesn't meet his criteria of course he leaves that player out of the squad list. So it is not surprising that Erik ten Hag's firm leadership also had a direct impact on Eric Bailly's career. It looks like Eric Bailly will be very comfortable playing in the Turkish league and we will see him smiling again this time.

Eric Bailly was once a great player which led to Manchester United signing him, but due to injury and age, his performances declined and he gradually became an irregular player for Manchester United. Erik ten Hag kept him out of the regular team due to his poor performances. A footballer is only worth as long as he can perform well. Such is the case with Eric Bailly, as long as he is performing well for Manchester United, the team keeps him in the XI and remembers his contribution, and when his performance starts to deteriorate, the team keeps him out of the XI. Eric Bailly has no relationship with Manchester United at the moment so Eric Bailly can now choose any club of his choice. Eric Bailly will definitely choose a club that sees him as an important player.

Eric Bailly has officially signed for Besiktas after reaching an agreement with Man Utd for the remainder of the transfer market. Man Utd itself already has several centre-backs such as Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez, Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire, Jonny Evans.
Bailly himself had helped Man Utd win the Community Shield, Carabao Cup and Europa League in his first season, but he had to be eliminated due to injury and a drop in form.

Sergio Ramos seems to have started a new challenge. Let's see how he will perform in La Liga at this age? I am sure that a great preparation will be made for him in Santiago Barnebau for the matches against Real Madrid, of which he is a legend. It seems that he wants to end his great career that started with Sevilla in the same team. Sergio Ramos is a legend and it will be fun to watch him again in La Liga.

It's good for him to leave from manchester united. An official statement has been also coming from manchester united as well. He was winning EFL cup as his last cup with manchester united.
I forgot that if he was still manchester united's player. I remember when he was still playing together with ibrahimovic in manchester united. Even ibra has announced his retirement from the football a few months ago.

He will be playing regularly on besiktas which is good for his career rather than become a non beneficial player for manchester united. It is such a good move at the same time MU will get some benefits like the salary cap would be decreased too.

His future was uncertain in manchester united. That's why it's an excellent decision for him.

[asriloni]

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.

That's sad to see that how hojlund rarely got the ball during the match against arsenal. Manchester united was still focusing in building its attack through left or right side. Im not seeing this as a bad transfer by united. I would prefer to call that as a good transfer since hojlund has been showing its potential once nacho's goal annulled by the referee. Hojlund is good but he is actually needs more time to perform better in the EPL.
EPL is far tougher than serie a. He deserves more regulartime in the main squad. I hope he will able to play full time. in upcoming match. Hojlund's transfer is not a flop at least not for now.

Both of Rashford and Bruno are have a high ego, that's why Hojlund were rarely got the ball, Ten Hag must taking a solid movement to bench Rashford and Bruno if they're still selfish. I'd want to see Mount replacing Bruno and Garnacho replacing Rashford, we will see how good is Hojlund because Mount, Garnacho and Antony aren't selfish.

I see Manchester United isn't good in this season, Sancho is high likely will leave too.

I don't think new manchester united striker Rasmus Højlund will best the best signed for United because he can't get ball or assists from Manchester United winger and attacking midfielder. Marcus Rashford and Bruna Fernandez are most ego players and priority for individual playing than build up as team working. Its disappointed choose by Rasmus Højlund join with Manchester United because their player most ego and Erik ten Hag keep priority with Rashford and Bruno as regular players.

Not only with Rasmus Højlund but also Sancho become victim players ego, Erik ten Hag have withdrew Sancho from main squad after issues difficult back to the top level. I don't agree with Sancho can't push to the top level but he doesn't get more minutes playing and many Manchester United player show their ego and play most individual than teammates.
