⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Litzki1990]

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.

You're right. Most the players who joined Saudi clubs are the old players or the players who can't get regular position on their clubs. So, they decide to move to SPL because they can be paid with big money and can play as main players in Saudi clubs. Actually, there is nothing wrong with the players who decided moving to SPL. But European teams mustn't feel so afraid, the players who are in the ideal ages to play aren't interested to move to Saudi clubs. They must prefer to stay in Europe because the European leagues are the most competitive leagues. Players who still care about the future of their career, they must play in the top leagues. So, it is true that Saudi clubs will have no power to sign Mbappe, Haaland, Bellingham, or other top young players.

So far, all the stars who have moved from Europe to Saudi Arabia have decided to finish their careers in Europe and then move to Saudi Arabia. So far, no young footballer has gone to Saudi Arabia. It's not that young footballers are not offered from Saudi league, young footballers from Saudi league have also got big offers but young footballers have refrained from going to Saudi Arabia only thinking about their career. Mbappe, Haaland, Bellingham are young and talented players and they still have a lot to achieve from Europe so I think they will never go to Saudi Arabia no matter how much money they are offered. Every season there may be big offers from Saudi Arabia for young footballers, young footballers may be offered until they go to Saudi Arabia, now it remains to be seen which player can finally control the greed of his own money.

I don't really know why Totthenham are letting Lioris go when he has been their long time goalie who have saved a lot of games for them.If he leaves the club,then I think the coach wants to change alot of things in the team.The front line has changed,he has changed the goal keeper too,Maybe in the January transfer window,he will still have some set of players he wouldnt want in his team anymore.But the most surprising thing to me is that,ever since they sold Kane out, Totthenham have been in great form,their front line is still as sharp as anything,the players who hadnt stepped up, are now playing beautiful football, someone like Richarlison.We all know how good he was while at Everton,but he came to Totthenham and wasnt able to do anything in his first season,but now,he is playing good football.

This is the same question for De Gea, right? so the same answer for Hugo Lloris they are already 36 years old so looking for a replacement is the right step and in my opinion they are doing it too late, regeneration should be done when the player is 30+ years old. This is the Premier League, the competition is very tight there are many great players playing here of course talented and young players are needed here so don't be surprised if the old players will move or retire.

when players get older and their performance declines. they must realize that they will no longer be the first choice in the squad. can only wait for their contract to finish or move to a club with less tight competition.
Hugo Lloris has been linked with Roma and Lazio. but it looks like neither of them will bring in the 36-year-old goalkeeper. Lazio has already secured an agreement with other players. and Roma really wasn't interested in him.
Tottenham seems really late to regenerate their players. maybe too comfortable with his squad.

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 am very happy that finally Mohamed Salah has made his choice to stay for this season and of course Liverpool don't need to worry because their mainstay player from Egypt will be ready to lead Liverpool back to the champions league zone for next season. Mohamed Salah has proven that his heart is still completely in Liverpool and it is very difficult to be replaced by a large salary from a Saudi league team. Indeed, Mohamed Salah is a terrible terror for every team's defense in the EPL and I am one of the people who admires his dribbling, speed and finishing.

Ittihad was running out of time to get salah. I think that if there would be enough time and ittihad may send another bid for him.

As per reported by romano if saudi transfer season already closed https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1699891070921044430

That has made ittihad failed to get salah from liverpool. The club should have approached him since the summer transfer season was beginning, but ittihad had so many tasks need to be done first.

If the club plays without him, Liverpool's performance may drop significantly. Salah stay for another season but i think that ittihad will be preparing another huge bid for him on winter transfer season.

The media is often trying to make news where there is nothing to say. Mohamed Salah has made it clear that he is not going to the Saudi league, at least not right now. And even though the transfer market has also closed as far as I know. But the media is still trying to make news about this. In this season he is not going to go there for sure. Maybe he will think about it after this season. Even then I believe he will be able to give Liverpool a lot of money if he decides to go to the Saudi League.

It is not too strange if the media always makes some nonsense news because it is their job to always want profit in every existing news but in this case we must be able to filter information.
Especially when the news about Salah at this time, I still see some news about rumours that he will leave even though there is confirmation that Salah will not leave at least this season from Liverpool and that should have been the answer but there are still a lot of news that fry this because they know that transfer rumours will always be sought after by football observers and fans who want clarity and actually make this chaotic (that's the goal) so that they get information again and again to increase profits for the media.

Media is like that. He always wants to make interesting headlines and since Liverpool fans know that Salah does not want to leave, they want to publish the news accordingly. Every headline about Salah directly concerns Liverpool fans and they feel the need to go and look at the news content. This also benefits reporters.

Tottenham seems really late to regenerate their players. maybe too comfortable with his squad.

Actually, Hugo Lloris performance was not too bad his experience of 11 years playing in the Premier League can still be relied on just not as the main goalkeeper but as the second goalkeeper at least that's what Lazio expected when they wanted to sign him but Hugo Lloris rejected the deal he thought why move to Lazio if only as a second goalkeeper meanwhile he got the same opportunity with Tottenham. I think Hugo Lloris will move if he gets an offer as main goalkeeper if not then he will stay even on the bench.

It's sad to say that if ange doesn't need an aged player to play for its squad. Ange wants to give young players a chance to develop themselves by getting regular time to play in the main squad.
Lloris has no place anymore in totenham's squad. He must lave from there as soon as possible. Ange knew that if the young talented player can also become long-term assets for totenham. Eric dier and Lloris have no future in totenham.

They have no choice other than leave from the club as fast as they can. It's caused by they can still have enough time to continue his career in the different club.

It's unnecessary for all of them to stay in the totenham. They need to find the new place as soon as possible. Eric dier has been even more frustrated compared with Lloris. He held an urgent meeting with levy to tell levy about his frustration.

The announcement regarding the closure of the transfer market in Asia is quite a relief for many clubs in Europe whose players are currently in demand by clubs from that league, including Liverpool.
At least until mid-season, we can still see him staying at Liverpool, in the middle of the season when the transfer season opens again in Europe, don't really know about Asia, then rumors will reappear which can make Liverpool a little worried that this winger will move especially if in the middle of the season Liverpool did not display good performances so that Salah was no longer comfortable at the club.
I read that Liverpool players also asked their colleagues directly about rumors of a move and Mohammed Salah stated his commitment to this club.

Villarreal is in discussions with Raul Gonzalez about the possibility of him becoming coach at the club, to replace Quique Setien who was sacked a few days ago due to Villarreal's poor form earlier this season https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1700030455284969790

I think Hugo Lloris is one of the good goalkeepers. I have no clue why he is like this. I think Lloris could do his job as the second goalkeeper in Tottenham, but now I see that he is being sent to the Tottenham second team. I think this is an injustice to him. He will leave the team in January and hopefully he will play for a better team.

At 36 years old, Lloris is in the final stages of his career. For now, Lloris' next destination still needs to be clarified. Last season, Lloris often made mistakes, forcing Tottenham to recruit Guglielmo Vicario. Tottenham agreed to release his contract with 1 year remaining for him to leave. Lloris understands that he is no longer at the peak of his career, so if he stays, he must accept the bench. Lloris's career in the Premier League seems to have ended, and he should retire to keep a good image for fans.

Another talk without fact, I don't believe that my friend, reason why most of those players make a move to Saudi Pro League was due to some reasons they can't control. We all have seen how Chelsea were losing throughout last season and market values comes with what you have offered from your previous club and many of them had none, if I was the Chelsea fans that made a move to Chelsea with old age, I will also do the same and retire football quietly.

Take another look at the condition of Messi and Neymar maltreatment by fans when they were in PSG, even though Messi went to US to continue his jurney to ignore Saudi Arabia, Neymar doesn't have the same power like Messi, he joined the Saudi with great contract of 2 years which is not bad, better than PSG where he had to impress and go to several injuries, he just need to focus and put small energy and make it in Saudi Arabia and AL-Hilal thus far had good players before his arrival.

In addition to how Ronaldo was threated in Manchester United when he lost his child, when he was suspended and bench by Eric, when everyone were critizing him of been stubbon but look at where he is now, where there is peace for anyone, there is going to be great achievement.

With Pochetino he was wonderful and a beauty to watch still some minor blunders during big games but he did his very best to see the club progressing.
He also won the World Cup with France before that world cup he was among the list if finest players and goalkeepers from the Premier League.
With Jose Mourinho he was still in the right direction but everything turned sides when he was handled by Conte. Conte was not the fault but he make too much errors for Tottenham.

Hugo Lloris is old and won't be able to catch-up the high competitive race and good shape expected of him from the coach, the players and finally the fans in league games. Lloris made a big mistake in staying in Tottenham Hotspur till this very moment, he would have made push for possible exits to a new team were his presence would have matter. He was once valued as the the top choice goalkeeper in the club, he worked under several managers before been snubbed by the current manager, Angelos Postecoglou who is keen on rebuilding the team and the players. He made quite new signings and with the recent statistics of the team, I would say Spurs have improved in their league games.

as long as his contract is still valid at Liverpool and as long as Salah is still loyal and has a good career at Liverpool I do not think he will leave this team because I see this player is very loyal to Liverpool after he feels that this team really appreciates him and can build a career and improve his talent so it is very difficult to leave a team that already has great services to him and maybe also if his contract expires but he is still able to appear consistently by scoring a lot of sure Liverpool will extend his contract.

regarding dismissal of Quique Setien from Villarreal, this is not the right step for me because it does not give this coach the opportunity to improve his skills to revive Villarreal performance to recover from its bad days and chose to fire him and replace him with Raul Gonzalez. I can understand that maybe Villarreal officials want maximum performance this season so they quickly made the decision to change the coach, but for me this will take more time to adapt to unite the chemistry between the coach and the players..

Liverpool fans should be happy they didn't lose Salah to the Saudi side cause it would had been a great loss for them this season and would had probably killed the moral of the team just like it happened when Mane left to Bayern Munich in 2022, Salah is  very important player for Liverpool as stated by their coach Jurgen Klopp and would probably stay for a season or two but I doubt if he'll be in Liverpool next summer because the money Al-ittihad had offer to pay him weekly is so tempting and would make him one of the highest paid players and he might be tempted to move over there especially if Liverpool failed to qualify for the Champions League again this season, well If moves by then it won't really be a very big lose cause they too would cash in on a huge amount of money from his sale, and the money they offered is very big to get a good replacement for Salah by then.

Jadon Sancho may leave Manchester united for Al-Ettifaq before the end of the transfer market.

I have seen this tweet by Fabrizio Romano on this speculated transfer.

It looks like he is staying at Manchester United as the transfer window in Saudi Arabia has been closed also. Honestly I think it would have been better for him if he left. Because he hasn't been able to meet the expectations much. He hasn't been a starting eleven player since this season started either. If he fights for his place in the lineup harder maybe he can regain his place but we will see.

There's nothing he can do to save his career on totenham. He leaves or stay with all of pain by not being used to play in the main squad. Lloris must not be stupid enough. He can still continue to play until the end of his career.
He was still worthy enough to be considered as the main goal keeper and get a new club as soon as possible. Lloris needs to determine his future as soon as possible.
Lloris shall not be wasting his time in totenham even though he has 1 year remaining contract with the club. Sitting at the bench will be only hurting his career as a goal keeper.

Xavi was never selfish and Xavi was what Barcelona needed truly in order to be able to start competing with other elites of Europe back, he was fine with unsettling the likes of all his old team mates like Jordi Alba, Gerard Pique and Sergio Busquets, so what matters or why should Ansu Fati get an easy let off, Ansu Fati has been projected to be face of the club, but he can't live up too the pressure with everyone not letting him breathe and him being out injured, so Xavi is gotta reintegrate Fati back into the squad but slowly without taking out the new players that have been working their asses all months long while Fati was struggling with injuries and match fitness, there is no automatic slot for any player and Ansu Fati shouldn't get any special treatment, but he's considered as the future face of the club, so he's also got to prove that he's willing to make certain uncomfortable sacrifices too.

Ansu Fati is still quite young for now and he has a much better future ahead when his performances get better. Loaning Ansu Fati to another club is much more relevant because he will get far more playing minutes there, compared to staying at Barcelona in conditions like these. I believe Xavi has good plans for Ansu Fati in the long term and they are in line with the project he is developing at Barcelona. Xavi also hopes for an ideal squad to compete with other clubs in Europe and especially in the Champions League where in the previous seasons they had difficulty keeping up with other clubs.

Let's see how Ansu Fati can show his skills at Brighton so that when the loan period ends he will be called up again in the Barcelona first team. Now Ansu Fati's future is in his own hands depending on how he can give his best on the pitch and even though many people doubt it. Ansu Fati was once projected as a replacement for Lionel messi but so far it has far exceeded expectations, perhaps also due to the huge burden placed on him because it is still quite easy to accept that responsibility.
