⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[AakZaki]

You describe that they have been investing modest amounts over a relatively long period of time and that they are doing well in the Premier League. You conclude that they must be having a lot of luck. But isn't it also an option that they are doing great work in scouting and developing players? If a club has substantial success relative to their overall spendings, I would say that they are doing a great job instead of being lucky. It is indeed undermining the hypothetical concept that money leads to success definitely. They are proving that you can do more with less and while I would say luck could play a role if they have an outlier result, I think Brighton primarily really did a good job.

They are lucky and make good use of technology. Reportedly they have an application to collect data related to players. They named the app Starlizard. So they buy players based on data. The previous 2 seasons they were not worried about losing players, so now they have pretty good players like Ferguson, Mitoma, Dahoud, Baleba, and Verbruggen. They divide three categories in player purchases. Player purchases for the present, future purchases and purchases for the future are more long-term.

Philippe Coutinho was a very talented footballer but injuries ended his career. When he joined Barcelona for a significant transfer fee, it looked like Barcelona might have signed a top striker, but due to injuries, the deal was a complete mistake for Barcelona as they bought the star for too much money and sold him later for too little money. After being out of the team due to injury for a long time, when he brought himself back to the game and when he came on the field for a short while, the star again got injured and left the field. The Brazilian striker may not be in Europe due to additional injury problems. Philippe Coutinho is very positive about a move to Qatar Stars League club Al-Duhail. If Al-Duhail is the star's next destination, hopefully he can play well for the club injury-free.

His fate is almost the same as Eden Hazard, Coutinho is slightly better because he returned to the EPL with Aston Villa. Steven Gerrard rescued him from Barcelona, and brought him back to England hoping Coutinho can rediscover his magic. Until now Coutinho was included in the list of players with fantastic prices in the world when he was recruited, but failed to live up to expectations.

He is the same age as Neymar and both defend Brazil, coincidentally both of them are also often injured. Maybe by joining Al Duhail a club from Qatar, he can find his best game again. The end of a moving career for the former Liverpool retainer, i hope the best for him.

Salah is still a target for Al-Ittihad? I thought that they would have given up on this transfer already after Liverpool's turning their first offer down. Because clearly Liverpool want to keep him this season no matter how much Al-Ittihad offer. Normally their latest offer is just insane which is around 200 million pounds. Salah's market value is way below this amount.

But I think Salah could be likely to join a Saudi team after the end of this season. He will have one year to go on his contract with Liverpool in the end. What do you think about this?

BREAKING NEWS!!

Al-Ittihad has again made an offer for Mohamed Salah and this time the amount is so fantastic 251 million euros. Could it be that this time it will be quite difficult for Liverpool to refuse the offer from the Saudi league team? and I think maybe that kind of money could be put to good use to buy new players next winter according to the club's needs. Mohamed Salah is already 31 years old and Liverpool should start thinking about who will be his successor. But the problem is that if Mohamed Salah leaves at the start of this season it will clearly be a loss for Liverpool because they have not prepared a suitable replacement. Now Liverpool will definitely be very confused by this big offer and let's see what steps Liverpool take. Will they let go of their star player or will they keep him?

The amount of funds Saudi clubs are tossing around in the transfer market makes me wonder if there are any regulatory body ensuring fair play in the Saudi league. There seems to be no limit to transfer spendings, 200million plus is a huge sum for Liverpool to turn a blind eye to, even if Klopp is reluctant to sell Mo Salah, I am sure the club owners will be tempted to consider the offer.

It hasn't been heard for a long time that Philippe Coutinho will now join the Qatari team Al-Duhail on loan from Aston Villa. An agreement has been reached and all of Coutinho's salaries during the loan period will be fully borne by Al-Duhail. Had received offers from Besiktas and Real Betis but Coutinho has rejected both and prefers to go to team qatar. I think there is nothing wrong with Coutinho accepting this offer, after all this is only on loan and later he will still be able to return to Aston Villa and continue competing in the EPL. Maybe at this stage of his career he wants to make more money and that is a fact that probably everyone already knows.

Shame what happened to his career after he left Liverpool. It kind of fizzled out, he was a real star but for whatever reason it went downhill once he left Liverpool.

I have fond memories of him, he was a really good player. I totally do not blame him if he feels like going there to earn really good money.

That's right, I still remember very well how he performed when he was at Liverpool and every time he dribbled the ball past his opponent, that's where Coutinho would take a hard, curved kick towards the opponent's corner post. That's when I was so excited waiting for his kick repeatedly when he was dribbling. Then, with such ability, Barcelona is very interested in signing him at a cost of 135 million euros and making him one of the most expensive players. But unfortunately after being with Barcelona, his performance declined so much that Barcelona had to loan him to other clubs from Bayern Munich to Aston Villa. Since then there have been no more significant developments, forcing Barcelona to sell him and finally Aston Villa made him permanent. Apart from all that, we certainly know that Coutinho's level is no longer equal to the current competitive competition, so we have to understand his decision.

I believe so, moh salah will most likely play for al ittihad next season because there is a possibility that al ittihad will increase their bid and make Liverpool unable to refuse the price offer that al ittihad submitted.

moh salah is a great striker, at his age who is getting older, actually he should play football for money, besides that reportedly the saudi prince has a few percent of shares in al ittihad and will try hard to get his target player, moh salah would be very suitable to play at al ittihad with benzema and several other good players bought by al ittihad this season.

But even if Barcelona got these two Portuguese players at the same time, there would still be problems waiting for them. As reported by Fabrizio Romano a few hours ago, Joao Felix and Joao Cancelo will reduce their salaries when they join Barcelona. This is done so that Barcelona is not affected by Financial Fair Play problems so that the salary reduction must be carried out. I think this kind of thing is not surprising and after all, despite the bad finances experienced by Barcelona, there are still players who want to play at this club and maybe that is an added value for Barcelona so far.

Finally news from barcelona and new players. Joao Felix and Joao Cancelo together are worth 100 million euros, they could not paid that, you got that right. In 2019  Atletico Madrid paid 127 million euros for Joao Felix and so really good it was not for Atletico. Then loaned to Chelsea and now to Barcelona. But Barcelona has with him a very strong offensive, there players like Lewandowski, Yamal, Torres, Raphinha and he, they will score many goals.

The performance of Darwin Núñez has been pretty good so far. If I remember correctly, he did not start well in the last season. This season he is starting well and if he is able to be consistent in his performance, I think he will be able to score a lot of goals for Liverpool. Even though they were not able to win the first match, they have certainly done better in the next three matches. They have been able to win three matches back to back. So right now, they are in good form. If they continue like this, I am sure that they are not going to regret the decision that they were going to take about Darwin Núñez.

When Darwin Nunez was signed in the 2022 summer, he was expected to the main rival of Erling Haaland who was also signed in the same transfer window but unfortunately for the Uruguayan international, he didn't have a good season unlike his Manchester City counterpart and that's why many fans of the ckub were calling for his sale in the summer and to find a better replacement.
However, after coming from the bench to score two late goals that helped Liverpool best Newcastle, Nunez is now one of the hottest players of the club. But he has to continue scoring many more goals if he wants to remain as the first choice striker of the club

Darwin Núñez is someone who has yet to unlock his full potential. And if he can actually do that, I think he will be one of the most dangerous strikers in the game. Probably he will not be as ruthless as Erling Haaland. But he can definitely be one of the best in the world. But of course, for that to happen, he will have to be very consistent.

If Nunez stays on, I see Suarez light on him. It has quality fabric like Suarez. He is also a citizen of the same country, of course, he is Uruguayan. While Nunez isn't as good as Haaland if he gets some more form, he still has enough potential to be the second best striker.

Darwin Núñez started the season quite well. We have seen that the first season of Erling Haaland with Manchester City did not start very well. He was missing the chances. But once he was able to get in a good rhythm, he was scoring one after another. But here we can see that Darwin Núñez already has a Headstart.

Despite being the same age, I think Neymar is much more talented and better overall. However, Coutinho just didn't get the club right when he moved to Barcelona, couldn't fulfil himself there and then his game went downhill. Anything could have happened to him at Barcelona, but he was going there as a big club that many people dream of... It happens and there are plenty of examples of it.

Coutinho is talented and will do well in the Saudi league. If players like Mahrez are earning good money in the Saudi league that is tax free, he is eligible to earn an amount good enough for him like other players who have moved to the league, he is as a good a player even better than some of the players who have moved there. It is a good deal for him, there is nothing to play for again, his name is quickly being replaced by the many new players coming up already, moving to the Saudi league is a new opportunity for him and challenge.

Philippe Countinho have been able to catch the concentration from the supporters but I don't see him doing that anymore, lacking regular game time under the management of Unai Emery. Countinho is an outstanding player that made a single wrong decision that have ruined his football career till present day. Moving to Barcelona was a big mistakes, and I know he regrets his actions. He's currently an Aston Villa player with lacking consistency in league games. Countinho has turned out to be a total flop in Villa Park. He's totally out of plans from Unai Emery key projects for the current EPL season, more reason he has to exits and move to SPL side that's looking forward to have him.

September 7 have been said to be the date for the final and deadline transfer for the Saudi League

Liverpool are still considering it, letting Salah leave is like shooting themselves in the foot - feet.

Sancho also has been linked with an exit from Man United, it is either he leaves before the deadline closes or sits fof the remaining months to leave Manchester United permanently.

The problem is that they let Salah Leave they can't replace his spot with a new player, they can only get a free agent or one from yougers Liverpool's teams.

Ansu Fati, a striker once considered a prodigy and expected to replace Messi at Barcelona. Miramontes once praised him and said that Fati would be a worthy successor to Messi's number 10 shirt. But injury brought his career at Camp Nou to a dead end. He gradually lost confidence when he got another slight damage, and coach Xavi dropped him from the main squad. In particular, the appearance of Lamine Yamal forced Fati to sit on the bench. Brighton borrowed Ansu Fati until next summer's transfer window. This is an opportunity for him to once again prove his achievements.

I think Barcelona has a bit of a trouble about Messi's past. I mean whoever is the new player that is coming out of the youth side that looks even just a bit of good, gets the name "new messi" and we all know that is not that possible, we are talking about one of the greatest to ever do it. This is why we shouldn't really consider any kid that good, it is unlikely and it will probably not happen.

I think it is important to make sure that we are talking about a decent level player, that's it. If you tell the kid that he is the next Messi, and even give him the jersey number, then you are going to be losing a lot of confidence when he doesn't play like that. At the very least, it looks like they got their new iniesta and xavi with pedri and gavi.

There seems to be no limit to transfer spendings, 200million plus is a huge sum for Liverpool to turn a blind eye to, even if Klopp is reluctant to sell Mo Salah, I am sure the club owners will be tempted to consider the offer.

Firstly I don’t think strict transfer regulations are actually implemented yet in the League like we have in UEFA. Also if this rules are to come buy with nature of owners they have and the club been debt free then the financial fair play wouldn’t affect them that much. Example is if you see how freely even European clubs with new owners who are very reach spend on transfers tells you that there certain rules on financial fair play that doesn’t affects teams with this kind of owners. Example is how PSG and Man city were spending when they had a take over and also the amount only Chelsea has spent since Bohely took ownership of the club last year.

Ad for Liverpool and Salah, I don’t see Liverpool accepting that amount now even though it is tempting. Liverpool would have accepted had they made an approach at the beginning of the transfer window this would have made Liverpool to look for replacements probably we might have seen Liverpool splash that on even Mbappe   But right now with the windows close Liverpool will certainly do everything not to let Salah leave because he is still an integral part of the club and would be needed to lead them back to the top of the league and to the champions league

[Coyster]

But I think Salah could be likely to join a Saudi team after the end of this season. He will have one year to go on his contract with Liverpool in the end. What do you think about this?

I think you are correct, Al Ittihad started their bid for Salah a little too late, i think if they had approached Liverpool with this ridiculous amount early on in the transfer window, they would have sold Salah and used the money to replace him with a younger attacker, but right now they cannot sell Salah because they would be unable to replace him.

Having said that, if Al Ittihad are still interested next summer with ridiculous amounts such as this, Liverpool will sell him, and it would be good for all parties, Salaha would have only a year left on his current contract, and he will be 32 years old by then, a good time for Liverpool to let him go and still smile to the bank.

Maybe at this stage of his career he wants to make more money and that is a fact that probably everyone already knows.

Good news, we don't want another Dele Alli situation in Beşiktaş. He's a finished player, if he accepted the offer that would be a waste of resources as money, time and foreign limit. We don't need star names with zero contribution to the team, we need team players. Good luck in Al-Duhail (first time I heard this club).

The amount of funds Saudi clubs are tossing around in the transfer market makes me wonder if there are any regulatory body ensuring fair play in the Saudi league.

I'm sure they will put some restrictions soon. Look what happened in China. They spent stupid amount of money and regulations came later. Saudi's have a lot of money but this is not sustainable. They made good advertisement for now. They should put some regulations for next seasons. They can't channel all petrol money to a football league. Paying 100-200 million Euro to stars is not a wise move in the long term.

I agree with what you said, if in the end they had approached when the summer transfer window opened with a 100 million bid for Salah it would have been enough to make him leave without the need to insist on bringing in a higher price and being rejected several times.
The reason is quite simple if Liverpool let Salah go at a big price then they can still look for new options even though it is risky but still possible to happen but for now it seems difficult, the EPL has closed the transfer of players and removing Salah is the same as leaving Liverpool's attack line empty and impacting on performance so it is quite natural if Liverpool think twice about this.

250 million euros? Mohammed Salah might be offered more than that if Al-Ittihad really needs him. However, I'm not sure whether Al-Ittihad can bring in Salah, because Liverpool still needs him to improve their performance, as last season Liverpool struggled to be in the big four of the standings. It would be a surprise if Liverpool agreed to this transfer. because the European transfer market has been closed, if Salah moves to a club at this time, then Liverpool will have to wait for the winter transfer window. For half the season, Liverpool's performance may be doubtful.

Jurgen kloop only said that Salah would not be touched by any team. This means that there is a big possibility that Liverpool will reject all offers that come to Salah and what's more, the transfer window will close in the next few hours because in my country it is already the 7th. I believe Salah will remain at Liverpool for this season because he is so comfortable after  he signed a new contract the previous season. I don't think Al ittihad can tempt Liverpool with this crazy offer.

Salah is a big enough attraction for the Saudi Arabian team, especially since he is from Egypt who is very familiar with Arabic nuances. However, Salah is still chasing big dreams in Europe rather than choosing to go to the Saudi Arabian league because he is still strong enough to compete at European level for now. Liverpool must reject this offer to maintain the balance of their strength this season.

But indeed in some rumors at this time Al Ittihad dared with 250 million although it must be difficult for Liverpool to give Salah in their current condition.
Klopp currently still really needs Salah to reverse the position when they were thrown into the Europa League last season. and 2 goals from 4 matches that Liverpool did actually I think Salah is still a vital player so Liverpool must think more whether Salah will be left alone or not.

Big money or performance, Liverpool must choose one of the two because indeed any choice taken will provide a risk.
