⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[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.

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.

I hope you are right about this and we don't have to watch superstars like Mbappe, Haaland and more in Saudi Arabia at early ages. I was really worried about the possibility of Mbappe's accepting Al-Hilal's offer for example. They offered a one-year contract though but still I would like to watch him in Europe until quite old ages just as we watched Messi and Ronaldo like that.

However if UEFA decide to accept Saudi teams also into their organizations then things might get more interesting. Then I would wonder if these players also think about signing for Saudi teams and play in the Champions League while making a lot of money at the same time.

Real Madrid still has David Alaba for the remainder of the 2023-2024 season. The Austrian national team player rejected an offer from Saudi Arabia ahead of the closing of the Pro League transfer, as reported by Spanish journalist Sergio Quirante.

For Real Madrid, David Alaba's influence is quite large. He can make Real Madrid's back line strong enough even if Sergio Ramos and Varane leave.

For Real Madrid, David Alaba's influence is quite large. He can make Real Madrid's back line strong enough even if Sergio Ramos and Varane leave.

Sergio Ramos and Rafael Varane have left the club two seasons ago leaving the defense line for Éder Militão and  David Alaba and since then the defence line have been very solid with this two players involved and even though Militão is currently out of the team due to injury they still have Chelsea former players Rudiger that's strong fast and capable of holding the backline together with Alaba.
 Realmadrid's defence is solid this season and they don't have a problem in that area and even have some versatile players that could fill in form injured players incase theirs no quality replacement, for instance ferland Mendy who plays at the left back position got injured and got comfortably replaced by Camavinga who's preferred role is the Midfield area and he was surprisingly good and played well in that role.

Although he have a problem with Manchester United, but he still able to reject offering from Al Ettifaq, Sancho is a matured player.

It is not only about his maturity, it is about his loyalty and realistic mind.
If he still prefers to stay with Man United, he showed his commitment with Man United. He won't move anywhere until his contract expires. Also, he may think realistically for his career. He must assume to keep playing in the top league if he still cares with his career. When he decides to approve an offering from a Saudi club, he means to prefer money than his career. He won't have a better career in Saudi because the league isn't as competitive as European leagues.

However Ten Hag benched him because Sancho's performance isn't good, he has no sense to score a goal, completely different when he was still in Dortmund. I don't think there's an European team interested with Sancho because Manchester United have spent quite big amount to sign him.

How he can perform good if he rarely gets a time to play?
When he still played regularly, he can perform quite well. Especially when he is in Dortmund, he got the full trust of the coach and he got a regular position to play. It is different when he is under Ten Hag's management, he is difficult to improve his performance because the lack trust of the coach and rarely played on the field.

So, we can't blame Sancho, dude!

However if UEFA decide to accept Saudi teams also into their organizations then things might get more interesting. Then I would wonder if these players also think about signing for Saudi teams and play in the Champions League while making a lot of money at the same time.

To be honest, I support the football breakthrough in Saudi Arabia but I don't think this league can develop more and I don't think young stars like Haaland or Mbappe can transfer to this league because this league is not competitive. I think Mbappe doesn't even want to play in the French League. I think Haaland will never return to the German league. Because even the German and French leagues are less competitive than England or Italy. Even if the Saudi league becomes a better league in the near or distant future, the players who will transfer there in the future will be almost at the same level as the players who transferred there in this transfer window.

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.

The Saudi Arabian League transfer market was officially closed and the steps taken by Al Ittihad to recruit Salah failed miserably because Salah preferred to stay with Liverpool. I admire the attitude that doesn't look at money because he prefers to make his career more perfect by playing in the best league in the world.

I myself don't want to see Salah leave Liverpool because if there is no Salah on the Liverpool front line then it's very boring watching the games they play. In addition, there were several recruitments completed by the Saudi Arabian team such as Luiz Felipe who was successfully recruited by Al Ittihad in the last hours of the transfer market. Besides that I also agree with your words where the media seek sensationalism to raise their topic to become trending by providing inaccurate information about the transfer market in order to be able to attract a lot of readers for their article.

I think this is more about respecting Liverpool especially with the new contract that Salah renewed earlier especially if in the end Al Ittihad made an offer earlier then I think it is still possible for Salah to leave especially with such a large offer but because the time is tight for Liverpool then naturally they keep Salah.
Well now this drama should end because even forced it is difficult for Salah to leave when Liverpool are in need of him as a driving force in attack to get Liverpool back to where they should be.

It was the right decision from Alaba to reject the offer from the Saudi league and it seems he is still very comfortable with the Real Madrid squad this season. Every time a win comes, Alaba is one of the players who always cheers the loudest and is sometimes very mischievous with his friends. So we can see there seems to be no doubt in his mind to stay longer at Real Madrid. Moreover, Alaba is a starter option for Real Madrid and it is very unlikely for Real Madrid to want to let him go.

Surely it will be a bigger attraction if UEFA approves the proposal put forward by the top brass in the ranks of the Saudi Arabian football league for their participation in the Champions League. But so far we will see the results, whether their efforts will succeed in targeting 1 or 2 slots for SPL teams to take part in the Champions League in the coming season.

Yes, it's true what you said that a player can leave the European stage to join a Saudi Arabian league team because the players are after money compared to their career. However, Mbappe is not that type of player because he immediately rejected an offer from Al Hilal in this summer's transfer window because he still really wants to stay in Europe. The transfer saga is over and we will see the performance of the signings made by the team this season. I think many fans hope that new players in the team can show their best quality to be able to help the team achieve their targets this season.

It is not yet time for Mbappe to move to the Arab league, he is still quite young and must continue to set records in Europe so he can become a legend. In the end Mbappe will make his way to the Arab league for an incredible fee, following in the footsteps of other current legends. Saying this just because of money, of course and that can not be denied. Who appreciates them and gives more then they will move. If Arab League clubs can participate in the Champions League it will be an extraordinary combination, the euphoria of the stars will appear in full, attracting the interest of many people and their fanatical fans.

If UEFA accepts the offer of Saudi teams to also feature in the Champions League, then young players attention will also be attracted there since they can also play in the biggest competition in Europe and at the same time receiving big salary while playing there. If this happen, it will just take a short time before we see young players joining that league too as the older players did now.

This was the best thing for Real Madrid to do, keeping Alaba to strengthen their defence is just what is suppose to be done when that offer came from Saudi Arabia. David Alaba had been a great defender from Bayern Munich and his work for the Real Madrid defence since he joined has been exceptional. Letting him go now will really affect the defence line of Real Madrid.

If I'm not mistaken, apart from David Alaba who rejected an offer by the Saudi Arabian Pro League, Luka Modrić also turned down a Saudi offer last summer. Luka Modric is still very happy and satisfied being at Real Madrid, he is not even thinking about leaving Real Madrid. Even though the offer was also big, he said he just wanted to enjoy every moment at Real Madrid.

For Real Madrid, David Alaba's influence is quite large. He can make Real Madrid's back line strong enough even if Sergio Ramos and Varane leave.

True, since the departure of Sergio Ramos, fortunately Real Madrid have immediately brought in David Alaba. And it is true that the arrival of David Alaba in Real Madrid's defense has been proven enough to make Real Madrid's defense more solid and stronger. Of course Real Madrid are very lucky to have him, because he is an all-rounder, a CB can do it, a wing-back can do it, a defensive midfielder can too. This player is very special.

Youri Tielemans is said to be really worried about his playing time now. Aston Villa have signed him on free transfer but interestingly they don't give him much playing time. I don't think he deserves this considering his skillset. He should be given more time to play to show his skills. He is still a quite young midfielder.

It would be good for him to play longer to find himself once again after leaving Leicester. He isn't a bad player in the end. If things continue like this for a long time I don't think his time of being a part of Aston Villa team will be that much long. His contract is until 2027 for now.

The thing about the Saudi teams is they spend too much money while mostly in Europe they can't spend this huge amount of money because of some rules and I think there should be a rule from FIFA regarding this to make Saudi teams stop otherwise they can have a negative effect on the market.
The other thing is about younger players joining Arabian teams for more money, We know some palyer who are near to end of their careers come to Saudi Arabia to make some money but if the situation continues there will be even some younger players joining this league.

[arallmuus]

Aston Villa have signed him on free transfer but interestingly they don't give him much playing time.

This part totally tells you on why he is not given that much playing time. You know what, he is a 26 years old player and if a 26 years old player actually goes out of contract then had to sign on a free transfer with another club totally means that he is not good enough. Its as simple as that, Leicester didnt consider him to be good enough to extend his contract and nor that he had any other decent opportunity therefore he had to sign with Aston Villa on a free transfer

Mbappe is still having a long term jorney to play in the top league. He never touched la liga or EPL leagues which means if mbappe is career is still continuing but that's his choice if he was willing to leave from PSG to join in saudi club. The PSG already putted incredible fees for european player to get him.
Arab will never ever able participated in UCL caused by it was on the different continent. Approving arab to play in EPL has the same meant if the UEFA was violating its own rules. Mbappe is still having a long time to go to be one of legend int he club like real madrid or something else.
He shall go to the premier league or la liga to face strong competition with a different atmosphere. Mbappe will not go anywhere other than la liga or premier league.

Mbappe is quite a quality player at the moment and he has a big influence on big teams like what happened in this transfer market. Mbappe seems to want to try a bigger challenge after his contract with PSG ends next season. I think the Premier League will be his goal if he wants to choose a competition that is quite competitive compared to other leagues. But Real Madrid is a dream team, it is likely that he will come to the Bernabeu stadium next season.

At his young age, Mbappe can certainly make a lot of history in his future career, whether it's becoming a big legend or breaking many records in the coming seasons. So for now, Mbappe focus is only on PSG and hopes he can bring PSG to the UCL trophy this season.

Manchester United fans are looking forward to the Glazers' departure. The American boss has long been unpopular at Old Trafford, with their last Premier League title coming a decade ago. They bore the fans. I don't believe the Glazers don't sell or do nothing. They have run out of money, and their financial situation is desperate.
In my opinion, the Glazer family wants to sell the club at a higher price. Two investors, Sheikh Jassim from Qatar and wealthy Jim Ratcliffe from the UK, have emerged as leading candidates to buy Manchester United. But the prices of these two giants are different from the requirements of the Glazer family.

I don’t understand the plans of the Glazers for this club, they have refused to sell the ownership rights yet also refused to invest money and time in the affairs of the club. The indecisive actions of the Glazers have become a problem as it is hindering the growth and development of the squad. I think the fans should begin a protest in this regard to try and force them go make a decision because if this continues, Manchester United may not be able to compete with other London clubs.

The fans have been launching protests since early of this year but glazer saw it like nothing for them. The decision was on their hands. If the valuation of club will keep to drop even deeper and this may able to change their mind to sell manchester united as soon as possible.
Im so tired of glazers drama. This family liked create sensation by intentionally selling manchester united but they never interested in doing it. Glazers drama must end soon.

Manchester united had been also getting various problems started with its players who have been accused of doing physical abusive to the some girls.
MU has faced numerous problems. Glazer was not making it even better. MUs performance may be plunged even further than before.

He should leave PSG for the big league, La Liga, or the Premier League. PSG club and Mbappé cannot get the UCL trophy with the current team situation, and he will be wrong if he continues to extend his contract with PSG. If he wants to become a legend, join Real Madrid, where there is enough quality to help him.

Regarding whether the Arab League can participate in the Champions League or not, they must first comply with financial fair play laws. Arab League won't be able to compete with European leagues. I take the example of Chinese football, with a professional tournament called the Chinese Super League (CSL). It caused a similar fever when it brought in many big names with attractive salaries. And Chinese football did not develop or participate in the World Cup after that.

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.

Source: https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1699787126974668875?s=20

Jadon Sancho unfortunately makes the list of players who have flopped for Manchester United in recent years. Since his big money move from Dortmund Sancho has failed to live up to expectations for Manchester United and has been tipped to be sold. This summer’s window is closed now expectations will hold till January when the transfer window opens again to see how things will unfold regarding Sancho.
