⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[KTChampions]

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.

Why the statement or rumour that Manchester United is out of the market?
If you give a good meaning to the statement it therefore means it has been in the market looking for a buyer, but there has been many offers to the glazers, but they refuse to sell Manchester United. I did not think that there is any other person that will bid more than what is already on ground for Manchester United. What left is Glazers decision whether to sell or not to sell Manchester United and there is nothing more and there is no need keeping Manchester United longer in the market when you are not open for business.

I think that selling a football club like United is very different from selling a million tons of barrels of oil or something else, the price of which you can accurately calculate or even replace with another product with similar consumer properties. This is a single sale, a unique item, a unique brand and an entry into a market with limited supply. Just because the Glazers can't get the price they want doesn't mean their price is above the market because there is no market in this case. You can look at this situation like this: now it’s up to the buyers whether they can find the required amount of money or not.

I don't think bad Jadon Sancho have bad performance with Manchester United but get less minutes playing actually under Erik ten Hag and most put him in the bench, last match Jadon Sancho withdrew from main squad and he hasn't in the list name against Arsenal. Its crucial and complicated problem between Jadon Sancho and Erik ten Hag.  I don't blame with Jadon Sancho on wrong position because he still professional and keep in training center team although he not use yet for recalling to main squad next match.

After Saudi Pro League transfer window closed, Jadon Sancho keep become Manchester United player for this season and depend on Erik ten Hag will call him to main squad or withdrew to junior level teams.

I feel that something actually happened between Sancho and ten Haag. Well to be honest in current scenario, Garnacho is a better option than Sancho. It all comes down to when one is playing for a big club he has to maintain his performance or fight for a position. I feel Sancho can still help coming off from the bench but I think ten Haag has totally different ideas. Best solution in my opinion is to let him go on loan to find some good playing time and find his form again rather than just keeping him off the games.

Is this a dispute between Sancho and Erik Ten Hag?  According to Fabrizio's statement, they will discuss the situation with the rest of the staff.

Players who are bought high enough then he will be required to maintain his performance, if not then there are other players who can replace him, the choice of Erik Ten Hag is Garnacho it's not a bad thing but Sancho's situation is increasingly depressed because of the situation plus there are not many minutes in his possession.

[coinlocket$]

Jadon Sancho won't be leaving Manchester United this summer, and i wonder why Ten Hag and Manchester United are pushing a character assassination's agenda against Sancho as well as trying to force him away. The scenes at old trafford since Ten Hag arrived has been awful, i hope it changes

Yep, the session is now over and he can leave no more for Saudi Arabia, so it will be in winter or next year.

Long before, Jadon Sancho was exiled to the Netherlands to undergo training alone at the end of last season, Sancho did this to restore his mentality and confidence. however, it seems that Sancho's performance is not showing the progress that the coach wants.
Then, rumors emerged that reported that Erik Ten Hag was in conflict with one of his players. A polemic is currently taking place within The Red Devil between Sancho and manager Erik Ten Hag. It started with Ten Hag's decision not to include him in the match against Arsenal. Sancho was deemed not in a combat-ready condition so he was given rest. then via social media, Jadon Sancho later denied the words of his manager, he even admitted that he was often scapegoated.

To be honest, we don't know what polemic is actually going on in the Manchester United camp. but IMO, Sancho's performance is indeed unstable. in fact he tends to underperform.  It would be very natural if the coach preferred other player options. referring to several sources, as reported by Sky Sports. It is certain that Jardon Sancho will not move to Saudi Arabia with the eastern country's transfer market window officially ending on Thursday. well, Erik Ten Hag should have tried to give him a chance. especially, when the main squad players are performing poorly.

Sancho leaving makes no sense. Rather, Sancho should fight for his place in the first team, I still haven't seen what Antony offers to that right wing, he dances and when done sends the ball back to the midfielder's. He should go watch some clips of Mahrez on how to make great cut in chances. The better fit for that position would be Jadon Sancho and Facundo Pellistri.

I really do feel like Erik Ten Hag favors Antony too much, could be as a result of to much trust he has in him during the time they spent together at Ajax but with Manchester United, Erik Ten Hag has given him enough chance and should give that to someone else.

Garnacho is best fit on the left hand side of the wing. Leaving for Saudi is dumb. He has a lot of qualities to show European Football/ Competition.

So there is a result now due to the many transfers and the many money. The record of 2019 has been exceeded. Never before has so much money been spent on the world for new players. In 2019 it was 7.57 billion euros and in 2023 8.73 billion euros. The Premier League is the richest league in the world, which will remain so for a long time. The clubs in England have spent 2.8 billion euros, no country in the world has paid more transfer fees. For the Saudi Pro League, it was 950 billion euros.

Firstly I think you meant to say 950 Million. The premier league o certainly the highest spenders because of the revenue they generates. Top TVs spend a lot of money on sponsorship deal on the premier league and this gives them spending edge over the leagues. Last I read even a Europa league winner do not go home with a paycheck when compare to the FA cup played in the English league. This is one of the reasons why even players from other countries top teams switch to the middle clubs in England. The wages and the exposure to the world is there. And I don’t see this going away also so soon the only two teams that could actually compete with them is Barcelona and Madrid and seriously the former are in serious mess right now and the later are just too wary of the FFP rules.

Long before, Jadon Sancho was exiled to the Netherlands to undergo training alone at the end of last season, Sancho did this to restore his mentality and confidence. however, it seems that Sancho's performance is not showing the progress that the coach wants.

To be honest, we don't know what polemic is actually going on in the Manchester United camp. but IMO, Sancho's performance is indeed unstable. in fact he tends to underperform.  It would be very natural if the coach preferred other player options. referring to several sources, as reported by Sky Sports. It is certain that Jardon Sancho will not move to Saudi Arabia with the eastern country's transfer market window officially ending on Thursday. well, Erik Ten Hag should have tried to give him a chance. especially, when the main squad players are performing poorly.

To be honest Sancho has had a rough season in the Premier league since signing for Manchester United from Dortmund. Ten Hag actually gave him some time out for rehab but that doesn’t help. But I still would blame both parties for not handling the situation properly. Ten Hag shouldn’t have made those statements about him, he should have just ditch the question away when he was asked by the media by just saying he makes the decision.

Sancho on the other hand was childish for calling his manager out that way and shouldn’t be surprised not to see himself playing any time soon. But they need to settle things soon because United still needs him with the situation of Anthony taken seriously everyday

[baeva]

With the current developments at Manchester United, it is very clear that Jadon Sancho wouldn't be getting as many playing opportunities as he is supposed to get as a young player of his age but that doesn't make a move to the Saudi Arabian League a good choice for the England international.
Sancho before now should've known that he's not in Erik Ten Hag's first choice attackers at Manchester United and should've move to another big European club probably as a loan player. Since the transfer window is closed, he'll have to fight for a shirt in the Manchester United squad

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

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.

Whether Manchester United coach loves Jadon Sancho or not, there is one thing that is certain about his career in Manchester United. We can all attest that Sancho dropped in his performance and Manchester United somewhere last season gave him some months break and given a special trainer in order to have him back to the team but it seems that his confidence is dropping everyday in the Manchester United squad. There are not even strong wingers in Manchester United that are able to outsmart Sancho. Just that I don't know how he is approaching the matter. What he needs now is not Saudi Arabia. But if that is the only option to make him play regularly, he should go he needs to play regularly to regain his confidence.

Even if he gets his confidence back, if he goes there, the immediate question is, can he go back to Europe afterwards? Firstly, the salary he will be paid will surely be high, and secondly, will any European team want to buy him after that? Besides, why would he go to SPL, he's only 23, it's too early for that..

[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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

[Velvet78]

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.
