⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[JeffBrad12]

I have even heard such speculation like Liverpool were willing to swap Darwin Nunez with Joao Felix before the end of the transfer window. I don't believe this honestly. Because there is no reason for Liverpool to be okay for such deal. What can their reasoning be for this? Joao Felix didn't show a better performance than Nunez in the recent times.

Besides Nunez is doing much better than last season for now. He has 2 goals and 1 assist in 4 EPL matches so far. They didn't sign any other striker even though they didn't have a reliable backup striker. Maybe Felix could have been signed on loan to have more alternatives.

However I guess Felix would have still chosen Barcelona instead as it was his dream team. 

Darwin Nunez is not a bad player and he also had a good performance during the time when he was playing for Benfica but unfortunately, when he moved to Liverpool he couldn't have a good performance anymore and this player failed to score goals in the games the fans expected him to score. Darwin Nunez was even close to leaving the team because of that bad performance but now he shows a better performance in this season.
However, that's too soon to judge about him and his performance in this season.

Nunez still has the full trust and a lot of support from Jurgen Kloop. I think Nunez is like Jurgen Kloop golden child because Jurgen Kloop thinks Nunez needs time to show his best qualities. In the previous match, we saw two goals from Nunez to lead Liverpool to win the match when they beat Newcastle United and also Nunez played well when Liverpool beat Aston Villa. I think this season Nunez will be able to make a big contribution to Liverpool. This season Liverpool will play in the European league and they are stronger candidates to become champions if you look at the depth of their strength.

Nunez gained the trust from klopp after he had been showing excellent performance against newcastle. We can't deny the fact that if his performance becomes even more impressive after newcastle's game. That's why klopp was putting him as starting lineup after newcastle match.
The support from salah has been making him to discover his true performance again. We can not even imagine what is gonna happen with his performance once salah was not in liverpool again.
Glad to see salah has decided to stay in liverpool during summer. I think that nunez will be regained its best performance again soon. The doubts about his performance during the last season were felt by many people.
Klopp will give him more chance to develop himself. We may very often seeing him to be used as starting lineup by liverpool.

For Mohammed Salah to give the Saudi club that came for his services the order to talk to Liverpool, he's already shown interest in playing in the Saudi League but what stopped him from moving to the Saudi League was because of the fact that Liverpool rejected the 150 millions pounds offer that was tabled.
From the reports I've read so far, the club is still preparing another deal that could rise to 200 million pounds and I don't think Liverpool will be able to reject such amount of money for a player that's above 30 years.

Can't imagine what happen with Liverpool if loss Mohamad Salah and agree for accepting with Saudi Club offering, we have saw bad impact from Liverpool performance last season and failed to finish on UEFA Champion League spot standing after leaving by Sadio Mane. I think Liverpool not excited with how much transfer fees offering by Saudi Club reached almost 150 to 200 million euro but think impact without Salah actually difficult to find replacement on right winger position.

Seems summer window transfer have been closed how potential for Liverpool will leave by Mohammad Salah? although has possibility but Saudi Club are interested for signing Salah need waiting until next window transfer opening in January or several months later. Its not good ideas for Liverpool if want to sell Salah how ever fees transfer offering.

Salah would not leave by January in my opinion, next summer could be a completely different situation, but Liverpool would have been able to prepare ahead of that time, and looking at Salah's age, Liverpool wouldn't mind cashing in on Salah, he's left a footprint that cannot be erased from the club history so moving on henceforth will be no issue for a club that have let a number of club legend leave amicably this season, and not holding it against them.

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?

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.

there is a big chance that M Salah will be tempted by the offer from Saudi Arabia, but if you look at M Salah seriousness, it does not look like he will move to the Saudi Arabian team unless he is almost old, approaching retirement, maybe he will want to join the Saudi Arabian team for a lot of money. enjoying his retirement after being with one of the SPL teams.

for a while it seemed like M Salah preferred offers from other european teams.

Darwin Nunez is not a bad player and he also had a good performance during the time when he was playing for Benfica but unfortunately, when he moved to Liverpool he couldn't have a good performance anymore and this player failed to score goals in the games the fans expected him to score. Darwin Nunez was even close to leaving the team because of that bad performance but now he shows a better performance in this season.
However, that's too soon to judge about him and his performance in this season.

The difference in the toughness of the competition could be the reason why Darwin Nunez experienced problems adapting to Liverpool, and needed time to reach his best performance. There are those who succeed in adapting, but there are also those who fail because the club feels disadvantaged by purchasing the player and chooses to immediately let him go.

Can't imagine what happen with Liverpool if loss Mohamad Salah and agree for accepting with Saudi Club offering, we have saw bad impact from Liverpool performance last season and failed to finish on UEFA Champion League spot standing after leaving by Sadio Mane. I think Liverpool not excited with how much transfer fees offering by Saudi Club reached almost 150 to 200 million euro but think impact without Salah actually difficult to find replacement on right winger position.

I don't know why Sadio Mane is so important for Liverpool and is one of the reasons they failed to get a place in the UCL? because if he is an important player of course Bayern Munich will not let him go to play in the Saudi pro league, and in my opinion last season was the beginning of Mane's decline, he became frustrated in Munich and got into fights with his teammates.
In my opinion, Liverpool's failure to play in the UCL this season is due to their lack of anticipation of developments from other clubs in the English Premier League. Of course, no one would have thought that Arsenal, Newcastle and Manchester United performed very well last season so that the competition was very tight for the top four, and it should be remembered that last season Liverpool managed to record two of the biggest winning records in the English Premier League, beating Bournemount 9-0 and scoring 7 goals against Manchester United.
Sadio Mane was an important player for Liverpool before his move but was not a factor in Liverpool's failure.

[topbitcoin]

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.

Saudi clubs are always interested in Muslim players, no doubt about this. So, we can understand if they are interested in Salah. Moreover, Salah has a brilliant career, he is still shining in Liverpool, too. When Salah moves to Saudi, it must bring an advantage for SPL. Many football players will watch his career in SPL, especially his fans. However, Saudi clubs won't be easy to sign him because he is machine goal of Liverpool. They must try to keep Salah although they must refuse huge money.

I don't think it's about religion because regardless of religion it doesn't really matter, the arrival of some Muslim players like Mahrez, Kante and Benzema can't be used as a reference that the interest in Muslim players is the main factor because looking at other conditions for this season in transfers there are still many players of different religions there.
Milinkovic-Savic, Neymar or perhaps Liverpool duo Hendo and Fabinho can be an example that religion is not one of the references in this case.

It's purely about how they look for players who are struggling in the main squad of big clubs and players who have an age that is already difficult to compete but have big names.
Although on the other hand there are also some who are indeed looking and money-oriented.

Glazers playing hardball with rumors of the club been taken off the market for reasons unknown, and market's responding with a 18.%+ drop which translates to a 600million plus drop and if these guys are trying to be selfish and protect their interests...this club will lose value more.. and should the sell happen without the right guy taking over, expect another crash of Utds value!! Honestly, what I dont understand is why are the glazers still holding onto United when its debt written all over the club with no progress to show for which they have failed to zero down..are these guys going to leave or not for the club to get better players in the future...

Losing someone who has contributed more than 30% of total goals made by liverpool since 2015 is a disaster for the club. I can't even imagine what's gonna happen with liverpool if salah will be leaving from there. Liverpool will be less strong without him.
Look at how salah was always helping the club a lot. I remember when he was scoring through an impossible angle. It's amazing to see him play in EPL. His assists, goals and advises helped liverpool so much.
It's unlikely the transfer will happen soon. Salah may still stand on his choice to stay in liverpool even longer.

Seems summer window transfer have been closed how potential for Liverpool will leave by Mohammad Salah?

This is the last day for saudi pro league transfer window. The final decision will be coming soon from liverpool regarding ittihad's offer.

although has possibility but Saudi Club are interested for signing Salah need waiting until next window transfer opening in January or several months later. Its not good ideas for Liverpool if want to sell Salah how ever fees transfer offering.

True. It's quite impossible to complete his transfer even if liverpool agreed to sell him for al ittihad.

It's over 10 years that majority of Manchester United fans has been seriously calling for a new ownership as they ain't any more comfortable with how the Glazers are running the affairs of the club. But from what we've been seeing since the fans fallout, the Glazers would still make strong moves to sell the club but wouldn't at the end of everything. I don't think there's a genuine motive to see the club now and the earlier the fans of the club comes to terms with that the better for the for them.
Though their presence as the main decision takers in the club is costing them so many things but as it stands, there's nothing anyone can do about it

What will happen at the of the end day would be the Glazers being the losers, I don't even understand for taking the club off the market, if the reports are true, but I could get it if it is in relation to anything that concern the figure they've put into transfers and other expenses for the this season, could it them be expecting a bigger valuation for the clubs worth and trying get more significant amount from the initial estimations they could have determined to be their asking price to sanction the sale.


Owners can be very selfish, if you look at just clubs presidents like they use in the Spanish Leagues for instance who are not the owners, nor major stake holder of the clubs, but they still manage a well up and running club into a debt and barely able to have its own self sustainability after these presidents tenures, you'd see that Glazers aren't far off.

Joao Felix is going to play for Barcelona by earning only 400k euros for one year. This is a really shocking amount to me honestly but he doesn't seem to be uncomfortable with this. Because he has captured an opportunity to play for his dream team and he won't be a part of a team in which he isn't wanted for a year least.

After that I don't know what will happen to Felix. Maybe he might be a permanent member of Barcelona depending on his performance. But I don't think Simeone will ever change his mind about him.

Honestly, it is too low. But there is one thing that Joao Felix loves about Barcelona, and he has had his dream club since childhood, so he grabbed the opportunity to play and didn't emphasize salary. This would be the turning point of his career if he could perform in Barcelona.
Joao Felix is a player who needs a good environment around him to perform well. Atletico Madrid is a defensive team, and for some tactical reasons, Joao's adaptation to this context did not go so well.This problem also arose in Chelsea's. Joao Felix is a very creative player; to manage this type of player, you have to be able to release all that creativity, which Barcelona already have, as well as Barcelona boss Xavi's praised for Felix's versatility after bringing him in.
Hopefully Felix can shine at Barca this season and live up to his undeniable potential.

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.

It is a difficult option if Salah really goes to a Saudi league team. To be honest, it's a bit unfortunate if Salah leaves Liverpool, but on the other hand, it's a lot of money for Liverpool. Is it possible that Liverpool are ready for the problems that will arise later on the field? I don't think they are ready without Salah so it will be a difficult week to decide.

Honestly Liverpool decision on the purported transfer of Salah to Al-Ittihad is very dicey, the club is in a serious dilemma now, the Saudi Arabian club offered a massive transfer fee for Salah which is huge and a big opportunity for the club in terms of income and based on his age that is reasonable amount of money for the club, in other hand Salah had been an important player for Liverpool his exit might affect the club in term of performance, he had been pivotal to Liverpool successful start of the league this season having 10 points in their four matches  invariably the club wouldn't be formidable enough to challenge Man City for the league title.

The last time Paulinha was seen in the Bayern Munich office for a photo session as a new Bayern Munich player this summer but soon he returned to England and the reason the transfer failed at the last minute was because Fulham failed to find McTominay as a replacement. There was no word of an agreement between Fulham and McTominay which made Paulinha have to cancel his agreement with Bayern Munich. This is a complicated transfer and it seems bad luck to get Paulinha. However, the latest news is that Bayern Munich will make Paulinha their main target in January next year and it is very clear that Bayern Munich's interest will not stop because of previous failures.

I wonder how Manchester United fans rate the team's sale. If there is to be a sale, it should help Manchester United develop in a good way because Manchester United have been a successful team in the past. Now the fans naturally want to see the same success. Therefore, if there is to be a sale, I think they should get a consortium that can turn him into a successful team like City.

The Portuguese player is a magnificent midfielder with a height of 1.90 meters. He has the potential to be an important player for Bayern because he is very effective in the air balls. It is effective both in positions from the goalkeeper and in free kicks. If Bayern Munich chose him, he must have researched it deeply. Hopefully we'll see him in the Bundesliga in January.

Although the news have not been confirmed by the Glazers or the club representatives it is rumored that Sheikh Jassim of Qatar and Sir Jim Ratcliffe have not come close to the £10bn price tag placed on the club by Joel and Avram Glazer. They intend to take the club off the market and put it on sale again next year hoping to attract more higher bidders. But this could be risky. If the club fails to win any trophy this season, the worth of the club will further drop.

Owners can be very selfish, if you look at just clubs presidents like they use in the Spanish Leagues for instance who are not the owners, nor major stake holder of the clubs, but they still manage a well up and running club into a debt and barely able to have its own self sustainability after these presidents tenures, you'd see that Glazers aren't far off.

A club that was bought in 2005 for $790m. And the Glazers have made so much money from share dividends over the years. I think they are overestimating the club thereby scaring away investors. The fans are frustrated because they want these brothers to give way for a more passionate owner to take over.

Mo Salah is not leaving. There you go, close up shop.

In more entertaining news today, Enzo Fernandez considers quitting as his time at Chelsea was not what he expected (har har).

Unfortunately he's got a huge ball-and-chain on him called "FFP loophole" because he's contracted for the next 8 years, so he's basically stuck there.

At this rate, he'll be staying out of Europe for a long time.

Former Chelsea record signing Enzo Fernandez already 'considers his departure,' according to Spanish media.

The midfielder arrived at Stamford Bridge off the back of outstanding performances with Benfica and the Argentine national team at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. The Blues shelled out a then-British record fee to the tune of €121 million to land the 22-year-old, a record that has already been broken twice since, including by Chelsea themselves when they signed Moises Caicedo from Brighton for a fee that could rise to as high as €134m.

Fernandez, however, could not improve the London club's fortunes last season. Todd Boehly and company splashed more than €600m on new recruits last term and sacked two permanent managers over the course of the season, which was a recipe for disaster. Chelsea finished in an embarrassing 12th place and missed out on European football.

Thus far this season, things haven't changed much. After four Premier League games, the Blues again sit in that 12th spot with just four points to their name, most recently losing 1-0 to Nottingham Forest at home. Since the start of the Boehly era, Chelsea have spent more than €1 billion on signings, yet they still look like a team lacking quality - and it's beginning to have repercussions.

Enzo wants out
That is at least according to Spanish outlet Fichajes, which claims that Enzo Fernandez already 'considers his departure from Chelsea.' Why? Because his time at the club has thus far not been what he expected when he arrived.

The lack of European football and the overall level of the football is beginning to leave the Argentine disillusioned, claims the outlet. While there may be a kernel of truth in that, it must said that the outlet in question is not particularly reliable.

Moreover, Fernandez is under contract until 2031, which makes a departure anytime soon highly unlikely given that it would take an absolutely astronomical amount of money to prise him away from Chelsea.

[Plaguedeath]

In more entertaining news today, Enzo Fernandez considers quitting as his time at Chelsea was not what he expected (har har).

There's no club want to sign as high as Chelsea does, if Chelsea is agree to let Enzo leaving for his current market value which is 55 Million Euros, it still possible. Liverpool was want to sign him, but unfortunately they already sign Ryan Gravenberch and Wataru Endo, so Chelsea will not able to sell Enzo in this season.

Enzo has no choice except play for Chelsea even though he has no motivation.

[naira]

All Ansu needs now is to just keep his head focused on maintaining a good fitness schedule and at the right moment am sure he would get to show us why he is likened to the next Messi with the kind of potential he has displayed already.

You shouldn't be surprised if Xavi asks for Ansu back, once he can begin to feature more in Brighton matches and find his confidence. After all, what's the point of a loan deal, if the player on loan don't return to the original club who did the loaning.

Equated with the next Messi? on what basis? Ansu Fati is always injured and still can't be made Messi successor? You should know how Messi struggles at Barcelona, who has always been a core player whose presence is very vital, but Barcelona without Ansu Fati is all right, even Ansu Fati's services are not put to good use. The reason for equating Ansu Fati with Messi is considered ridiculous, even though it came from Xavi's mouth, in the end Ansu Fati found it difficult to maintain his playing minutes at Barcelona and had to wait in long queues.

I would happily enjoy Man United loss of value in the market, and the fans would grow to dislike the Glazer family even more. If sold then the fate of Man United could be better. To be honest, whether you realize it or not, the Glazers have lost everything, even though they didn't sell Man United, because the debt still has interest. Plus the chaos after the chaos that Man United is currently facing in terms of players and coaches is the perfect complement. It's a shame because the name of a club as big as Man United failed to be saved by Sheikh Jassim.
