⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

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.

Ansu Fati no doubt is a very good player, he has once shown the world what he is capable of but his performance drop alot when he sustained an injury and right now his performance has not been encouraging since his return from the injury but maybe this loan deal could help revive his career since he will be playing under one of the best managers in England but the only problem i have with this move is wether he is capable of challenging Mitoma on the left wing, I think it will be difficult to have a decent playing time while Mitoma is physically fit.

Xavi Hernandez have his reasons, he sent Ansu Fati on loan to another club which is outside La Liga. During his time in Barcelona, Ansu Fati is performing at a mediocre level. The blaugrana encouraging him to gather more experience in an extra competitive league like the English Premier League appears to be an excellent decision for the spaniard. I have complete faith in Roberto De Zerbi, who is currently the manager of Brighton. He's more interested in talented young players, consequently Ansu Fati will be more beneficial for him. We're looking out for a fierce structure of the seagulls this season.

Let’s see if Fati is up to the task of surviving in the English Premier League, it’s a good move to play in the Premier League because if his performance improves the whole world will see how he has improved and it will help revive his career but if he fails that will be the end.

Joao Felix firmly believes that his playing style aligns with Xavi's tactics and will help revive his career. He's confident that Xavi will utilize him effectively. Barcelona could really benefit from wingers with his passing abilities. Let's hope he can demonstrate his skills and rediscover his previous potential. Here's hoping it all works out well.

I do not think Joao Felix loan deal with yield desired results; not only is the player washed up form wise; he has also lost his grits and early promise since moving to Atletico Madrid. The bigger question will be that, can he rediscover his sef? Can Xavi bring out the shining star Joao Felix?

That question can be answered after we will able to see his debut with barcelona. It's still remains an unanswered question until we will able to see that with our eyes about how good the performance from felix on his debut with barcelona.
It has become the main job owned by xavi to dig his potential. Felix was still young and i think that he will be using all of his experience to play with his teammates in barcelona. I never saw this guy performed so well in the previous club.
It's time for felix to prove himself as a worthy striker. He may be able to be permanently by barcelona once he will be consistently showing good progress. He has already reached his main target to be a part of barcelona.
It's the time for him to show how good he was to the xavi. We can rate his debut on barcelona.

Every player does have a price, and Mo Salah's price right now is in this $200 million range that the Saudi Pro league outfit Al Ittihad is expected to bid for.
I think Liverpool will have no choice that to let Salah leave if this amount is hooked in. After all, the player has got a limited time on his contract and age.
The issue is if Liverpool will be able to recover and be on top performance in every match this season till it ends.

This was very certainly an incredibly hard decision for everyone involved, but if it is true what is said in this report, Salah will not leave Liverpool this season and a future move is very likely, which I thought would be possible anyway.

But age and contract duration are important to consider here and while the contract duration is one thing, age is another and being offered  £150 million and the statement that they are willing to further raise the offer, I don't know if the decision against selling him is still the right one. But I have to add that I didn't read much about what Salah's opinion was, did he want to leave Liverpool for Saudi Arabia? I am sure that he would have also made some sky high salary.

I think what makes this decision difficult for Liverpool especially Klopp because Al Ittihad continues to increase their offer for M.Salah, this could be one of the biggest factors, because as we know it is very difficult for some top European players to reject the fanstastic offer from one of the Arab Pro clubs. Previously M.Salah had managed to extend his contract there and also besides that I heard that Klopp had made a statement that he would not release his flagship player, they had rejected the first offer from Al Ittihad but I don't know their answer after this offer was renewed by Al Ittihad with a fantastic amount.

Honestly I have to say that if in the end M.Salah leaves and Klopp lets him go it will have a bad impact on Liverpool, because as we know M.Salah is an important player there by always making a significant contribution, so in my opinion Klopp is unlikely to be rash in making this rumor decision, and from M.Salah himself I heard he was not too interested in leaving. I think for other players maybe Klopp could have let it go but for M.Salah it doesn't seem like it will.

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.

Xavi Hernandez have his reasons, he sent Ansu Fati on loan to another club which is outside La Liga. During his time in Barcelona, Ansu Fati is performing at a mediocre level. The blaugrana encouraging him to gather more experience in an extra competitive league like the English Premier League appears to be an excellent decision for the spaniard. I have complete faith in Roberto De Zerbi, who is currently the manager of Brighton. He's more interested in talented young players, consequently Ansu Fati will be more beneficial for him. We're looking out for a fierce structure of the seagulls this season.

Ansu Fati is unarguably going to be of great benefit to Britton because he is very young and talented,and a side the player choses to play for is one of the best sides in England.I thought Arsenal were going to sign him to be a cover for Saka at that left wing since they were following him and even made a bid for him,but they later chose to give out of favour Pepe a chance to prove himself,and besides,there is even Nelson in the team to  also be a cover for Saka if he gets injured.

Xavi has so many options in his team so it was looking so likely that Ansu Fati was no longer in his plans for this season,and wasn't going to see playing time at the club,so it is the best decision of the coach to loan him out to a premier league side to get more game time.

[emrecemsan]

European teams must be really relieved after end of the transfer window in Saudi Arabia today. Because Saudi teams have been making really big difficulties for European teams for a long time. This summer they have been the most talked teams with the transfers they have made.

They were leaving European teams in a difficult situation in multiple ways. They weren't only going for the same targets with European teams. They were trying to steal their most valuable players at the same time. For example Al-Ittihad tried their best to get Salah but Liverpool resisted their every offer.     As long as Saudi teams don't have a requirement of abiding by FFP rules European teams have a really bad future about transfers.

[shogun47]

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.

That's interesting and will look into it for sure, thanks for sharing.

Starlizard, is it something like was used in the movie when Brad Pitt hired this dude who picked players for the baseball team based on data only? Was quite entertaining and if there is enough data, it usually also doesn't lie as you could add any variable you deem important.

Maybe this data based scouting is the future. Of course it is considered already, but maybe not on a sophisticated level.

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.

Even I agree with you about this all but Liverpool is still having problems since last season due to Sadio Mané departure and in this season they already lost few top players which are surely going to have problems for them, but now they don't want to lose another star which make things better for them and without him surely they can face serious trouble specially while they have no choice right now so most chances if they are able to have top four spots in this season then in next season Mohammad Salah will be also in as Al Ittihad player because Saudis having long term planning, and they will try to catch him in next season.

Currently, they are in top ranks with most chances this performance and quality can keep them for better end of this season and then surely they can acquire any other quality player for the suitable replacement and things could be not serious like this season.

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...

The Glazers want to get a price that suits them and I can understand them - in modern conditions money depreciates very quickly and if you don’t know where to invest it, then it’s better to keep it in assets. No matter how things go at the club, United is still a huge brand and will be worth a lot even after many years. As for market quotes of shares, this means nothing for large holders - large transactions in any case are carried out not on the basis of quotes but on the basis of an audit/personal interest of the buyer.

There is no doubt about anything in soccer right now with Al Ittihad offer for Liverpool and salary package for Mohammad Salah both were sky-high and many peoples near to Liverpool expecting this is going to be ended for this star player in this club but at the end Jürgen Klopp and Mohammad Salah having meeting which end these rumors, and he agreed for another season with most chances Liverpool will again have huge fund and salary package could be also good for the Mohammad Salah in this season leaving this club surely going to create problems for the English club, so he decides against his wish and now staying here for another season which is surely good for the all parties as in next season Liverpool will be able to have good new player which will cover them from this space.

[lizarder]

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?

For the time being Jurgen Klopp is saved because the transfer window in the Premier League has closed so Mo Salah will stay, but there are no guarantees When the transfer market reopens in the winter and I think the club owner will consider the offer. In several versions that I have read, the Arab League transfer market will close on September 20 2023, but I don't know for sure whether they can still exchange players with the League which has already ended the transfer market. If that can still be done, then Jurgen Klopp is still not safe because of the possibility that in the last minutes Mo Salah was released to Arabs by management.

So it is still quite speculative regarding Mo Salah's future and I think it is difficult for management to refuse the big figure offered by Al-Ittihad. But if that is done it will have an impact on Jurgen Klopp's squad because the Premier League transfer market has closed and they cannot find a replacement for Mo Salah in the near future.

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.

I don't think there is yet a special supervisory agency regarding the fair play of transfer spending set by football securities in the Saudi league. That can be proven by several clubs there who have spent a lot of money on European players this season. It looks like the Saudi League's scrutiny is not as tight as Europe's as they can still try to woo some players with sizable numbers despite having spent big before on other players. 200 million is a pretty big number and Liverpool can build a much better squad than they are now and I think that consideration will be a management rationale for next.

Even in this state, they should not be eager to let him go when he can still contribute to the team. Does it matter if they can't fight for the league title with Manchester City this season? What matters most is that he can help the team finish in the top four of the Premier League tournament, earning them automatic qualification for the Champions League against next season. They can't beat Manchester City for the league title, but it doesn't mean they shouldn't try, and they'll also need Salah to do so. His transfer to Al-Ittihad fell through for reasons unknown to us but known to the club, but I believe they are significant reasons.

[harapan]

As Xavi said, Ansu Fati was loaned by Barcelona to Brighton for a season. the reason is, for the good of the player. Ansu Fati joined the transfer market this summer, with the option of no permanent purchase and only one season. Xavi emphasized that he needed a lot of minutes to play and it would be difficult to get with the Blaugrana because of the competition. Xavi hopes, he has great hopes, if Fati can shine at Brigthon, then he hopes Fati can return to Barcelona next season. in short, the purpose of his loan is so he can be successful again at Barcelona, ​​reported by Tribuana.

I think Xavi sounds selfish, if he really wanted Ansu Fati back, why did he still get so little playing time in the end? in other words Ansu Fati is playing at Brighton just to hone his skills and then Xavi will take it back. Isn't that selfish enough, I know it is their right because Ansu Fati contract at Barcelona is still long. I never stop thinking that Ansu Fati potential will not develop even if he returns, because he has to queue for a long time to get playing time. Waiting for the main squad to be injured and Ansu Fati remaining unchanged whether he goes to Brighton or not, he will remain a reserve player.

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.

He made a wise choice deciding to work with De Zebri who is mainly interested in younger talented player's. Not just the Premier League, Fati will have the opportunity to showcase his skills since Brighton qualified for the first time in the Europa league competition.
He has a good dribbling skills thru causes of his lack of game was due to injuries.
He will develop into a player that would be undropabble when he gets to leave the Brighton and returns to Barcelona. Next season, he will be back, he should be part of the players training with the club to face Man United when the league resumes from international duties.

Offering hugh bids for Mohammed Salah is a definitely tempting move for the player. Saudi side keep the pressure on as they're keen on making Mohammed Salah their priority this summer. Liverpool on the other hand would definitely hold down the deal because Salah is there key player and his presence in Anfield is very important. Jurgen Klopp is a good coach and knows what's best for his players, there's absolutely no way he's letting Mohammed Salah exits the club this summer or next. The Egyptian is a longterm key project for the club, he contributed alot and records stellar performance.

Thats pretty much the same as watching an intense TV show with the Glazers. There's a possible sale one minute, and then BOOM. The club is taken off the market. I've been watching this club for years, and to be honest, it makes no sense to me that they are so focused on Manchester United, especially since they have so many debts. I remember when in Spain, club leaders who werent even owners put clubs in debt. The Glazers, on the other hand, can draw on a whole history. They might be waiting for the right time or price. What the heck! I really hope that we get some better players soon and that people play smarter for once.

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.

I think Aston Villa will be thrilled if Philippe Coutinho gets to leave for Saudi Arabia because I see no reason why they will want to keep him when he is only a liability to them, not getting game time and not making much impact when given the chance to. Aston Villa will even be looking out for a permanent move for Coutinho rather than a loan deal but whichever way is fine as long as he will be leaving the club.

[MinoRaiola]

The transfers to Saudi Arabia do not stop, there is a news every day and most of them are because of a lot of money. In the last days again 5 players signed. The most valuable is Luiz Felipe from Betis Sevilla to A-Ittihad for 25 million euros transfer fee. From Belgium, England, Italy and Portugal also one player changed to the Saudi Pro League. However, the players are less than 5 million euros.

[beerlover]

I think the fact that Greenwood issue happened when he was at United and then Anthony thing happened right afterwards is the real reason why there is a drop. I mean Anthony is not the only one being charged now, the girl is saying that United doctors helped her the second time it happened, first was in brazil, but the second incident happened at Manchester and she got help from United doctors.

That sounds like she is just after money and it's a total lie, nobody beats their girlfriend and then takes them to the club doctors, that's not going to be true at all. But, even assuming that it would be true ended up resulting with a big drop. Being in a lawsuit drops the value of your company and will keep so until it's fixed.

European teams must be really relieved after end of the transfer window in Saudi Arabia today. Because Saudi teams have been making really big difficulties for European teams for a long time. This summer they have been the most talked teams with the transfers they have made.

I don't think European teams should be too worried about the amount of money that these Saudi clubs are willing to spend, it is not as if the European clubs are losing the best players to Saudi, most of the players moving there are either above 30 or their time in Europe was already up, players like Haaland, Mbappe, Rodri, Saka, Bellingham, etc, can never think about Saudi Arabia. Quality/high level football will remain in Europe and nothing is about to change that.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

At least we can put the Salah to Saudi Arabia rumours to bed now. Media were desperate for it to happen but it was always a non starter. No way would Liverpool sanction a sale so late in the window. His goals and assists numbers are irreplaceable for a team that needs to get back in the CL.

Sorry PL defences but Salah is sticking around and he will be terrorising you at a stadium near you very soon.

I wonder why anyone would believe such rumors,how on earth do they think Jurgen Klopp would want to release one of his most docorated player i don't think that would've been possible because they had a very poor performance last season and are trying to recover from it, of which Mo Salah would play a very important role of them performing very well this season.
 As a very important player for the club they have to do everything possible to keep clubs away from him despite the huge offer involved, and moreover i Mo Salah would want to break the loyalty to his club and good relationship he has with his coach jurgen club, he's been very brilliant for Liverpool so far and sooner or later he'll start scoring more goals to compete with Haaland for the golden boot this season.
