⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

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

I believe this are just rumors, we know the media will always be looking for an agenda to push because Enzo Fernandez hasn't showed any signs that he's tired of Chelsea and wants a move out of the club. I understand the club isn't doing great for now but everyone knows we just went through a complete transformation of the club last season and this season we have let go of almost all our squad that we knew were playing in the first team. Right now I don't know who's starting or not expect for Enzo Fernandez so how then would he be considering to quit when he's getting game time and all the respect that he deserve in the club. Enzo Fernandez is having a great time at the club and soon everything will be sorted out because that's what Chelsea always does. Enzo Fernandez is probably the best player we have at the club and the club will do everything to keep the youngster happy at the club so we can disregard any news of him wanting to leave Chelsea.

Would be def difficult to see a club that would match his release clause. Really, Chelsea had a very poor shape last season and there seems to be no rapid improvement. Best bite would be to leave on loan.

He isn't leaving on a loan because he's an important figure in the squad, his presence is needed and we just need Pochettino to get his formation right for we to get the ball rolling. We have given him all that he would have probably asked for so he doesn't have an excuse why the team isn't delivery results as they should be doing week in and out. We don't have any European football for the season so I don't see any reason why he isn't playing all the cards he has and reserving some players on the batch. Players like mudrky needs to be given starting role and not playing a defender like chilwell in his position thereby reducing his confidence because the coach doesn't trust him to deliver in his role. Pochettino need to start playing the right players in their rightful positions.

FIFA is a world formation and as long as you want to play professional football you must adopt to thirr rules and regulations.

Sure but why?
This is the same thing with the European Superleague versus UEFA and the court cases that are still ongoing.

Fifa and Uefa are not the football.

As reported by Fabrizio Romano, it seems that Robert Lewandowski and Kevin De Bruyne this summer also received big offers to the Saudi league. But both players have rejected the offer and it is clear now that both of them are staying with their respective teams. For Robert Lewandowski, who is Barcelona's mainstay striker, he certainly doesn't want to leave just because of big money, especially since he also really enjoyed his career in Spain. Meanwhile, Kevin De Bruyne definitely wants to continue contributing to Manchester City as his goal and if he sees that his contract with Manchester City ends in 2025, at least he wants to finish the contract period before leaving and becoming a Manchester City legend.

Robert Lewandowski won the Spanish Laliga last season with Barcelona. Kevin De Bruyne won the Premier League and Champions League last season with Manchester City. Both of these players are still at the top of their respective leagues in Europe. There is no reason for them to go to Arabia right now. If Barcelona fail to win the Laliga next season and Robert Lewandowski's performance becomes a matter of debate, then the Arab teams may look for an opportunity. Now is not the right time for them to sign Robert Lewandowski. It's very difficult to turn down offers from Arab teams because they pay very high salaries, but career planning is more important for footballers at the top of the football.

It's hard to say about Lewandowski. Judging by his goals and assists, we can say that he has become worse, even though visually his game has hardly changed. I mean, in Germany he used to consistently score over 30 goals every season. But in Spain the opponents are much more serious, and his team is such that he is not the only one who can score, so for Spain 23 goals per season is quite a good result, so yes, he won't have to go to SPL anytime soon

Now is not the right time for them to sign Robert Lewandowski. It's very difficult to turn down offers from Arab teams because they pay very high salaries, but career planning is more important for footballers at the top of the football.

On several occasions, Lewandowski has stated his intention to end his career at Barcelona. Even though there was an offer from the Sausi club as he claimed, it seems he was not interested and wanted to stay with Barcelona. but in fact, we don't know what will happen in the future. after all, maybe Lewandowski can change. But, for now it is very likely that he will stick to his commitment even though it could change at any time. I think Lewandowski's focus at the moment is just to bring Barcelona to its best peak and be supported by his teammates.

On the other hand, De Brunye, is one of Pep Guardiola's mainstay players in his squad. He still has a contract with City until 30 August 2025. Even if KDB can still maintain his performance, I'm sure City will not hesitate to extend his contract. even though in time, he will not always be a regular player.
IMO, for the next season these two players will continue to play in the top European leagues. in fact, it is very likely that they will end their careers at the club they are currently playing for.

At the moment I think Odegaard is still very worthy of being retained and it is certain that Arsenal will do that.
Currently the vacant captain position has been completely replaced with Odegaard even though he is still very young but he is very capable of carrying the players on the field and being a good captain figure so I think sooner or later Odegaard will definitely be extended his contract.
Currently Odegaard's contract is still not urgent but in the end it is possible that at the latest the end of this season there will definitely be an extension for this young player because his potential is still very good for Arsenal.

Of course, Martin Ødegaard is still one of the players that Arteta and Arsenal continue to prioritize because in Arsenal core squad he is still a trusted captain whose leadership is difficult to replace. Martin Ødegaard can be said to be Arsenal's long-term investment and as long as Arteta is coach, I am sure Martin Ødegaard will continue to be a favorite. Apart from that, the important capital that the Gunner currently has are ideal players and it takes quite a long time to form such a great team, so if you look at the current composition it is likely that no one will dare to let him go.

He is still very young but even with his age he is stable enough to lead his teammates as captain which is certainly not the case for all young players and is very rare for something like this.
Looking at the situation, it would be a pity if in the end Odegaard was left alone. But in this case I still feel Arsenal will still wait until at least the end of this season to extend Odegaard's contract. The current condition I think is not too urgent for Arsenal because there are still 2 seasons left with this season so they will prioritise other things first before extending Odegaard's contract.

[Zaguru12]

In my opinion, it will be very good for Martin Odegaard to join Manchester City. Odegaard is a very creative player, and he needs a club like Manchester City to raise the standard of his career. He possesses the ability to understand effectively with other players. Under Pep Guardiola, he can win many trophies because Manchester City is now dominant in the UCL as well as the EPL.

Definitely Odegaard is a great player and would be an asset to any club that has him but currently I don’t think he would flourish in this Manchester City team. Kelvin De Bruyne is still there and I don’t see any player in the world to take him out of that starting line up so soon. Pep’s pattern seen like a formation that would need an attacker to also be a good ball recovery person. The perfect place for Odegaard is this Arsenal and would be good if he remains there since he has even won the manager and the fans till the place where he is captained. The Trophies will definitely come to Arsenal by the type of improvement we are seeing from them since the arrival of Arteta. It is just a matter of time before they start winning those trophies.

I think Fifa will investigate the financial situation in Arab teams until next year. There may not be another season where they will spend as much money as this year. If Lewandowski gets a big contract, he might consider retiring after a season or two there because they promise really high salaries. Like Benzema, he can go there too.

Why Fifa needs to investigate the Arab clubs' financial situation? It is clear that they have the owner with amazing wealth. So, it make sense if they can spend huge money to sign any player. As long as there is no limitation of maximum transfer fees or player's salary, Arab clubs don't make a mistake to spend a lot of money on the new players. It's their money, they have the right to use the money for signing any player.

Arab can also leave FIFA if they want and create their own association btw.

Arab will never think about this. They know well that Fifa has an important role for football leagues in the world. If Arab leaves Fifa, I assume many players will doubt with the future of Arab football league. If it happens, no top players will join Arab Saudi.

Manchester united has made a statement concerning Antony's situation and they said they acknowledge the allegations made against the play, therefore his return to the club would be delayed until further notice until the situation is addressed and they also said, they condemn the act of voilence and abuse as a club.
 Antony all said that he agree with the decision taken by united and would absence himself from the team and his decision was made to avoid distraction to his teammates and also avoid unnecessarily controversies.
 This would be a very big setback to Manchester united due to the fact that they might end up losing another talented player in that position if he's found guilty, but i think if he's able to prove he's innocent the women that accused him should be punished for tarnishing his image, anyways this could be an opportunity to give Sancho another chance to prove himself or start either Pellistri or Mason Mount.

This is a good step by the club to manage the situation before it gets out of hand. The club made it clear that they do not support any form of abuse and assault as shown with Mason Greenwood’s case. We can only hope all allegations are proven to be false and see Anthony rerurn to club football. Good thing he is complying with the police to ease investigation.

I've never seen any FIFA official statement concerning the very expensive transfer deals from the Saudi Arabian clubs, any move to investigate them and possibly sanction them.
The Saudi clubs I believe knew the FIFA rules before the huge transfer deals that the got involved in and would not want to get in the black books of FIFA hence the reason to not fault FIFA's financial rules. Though the transfers were very lucrative, I still don't think they breached FIFA rules until the football body says otherwise.

FIFA never touch it nor released any statement regarding it. Saudi club has maximum limits for the non local players that can be bought by the team but it has no FFP which was limiting the ability for the club to spend its money. Saudi will not get sanction as it's not breaking any rules.
Spending a lot of money were not something prohibited in the country. This is why many teams were spending crazy amounts of money to buy european players. FIFA already given SPL to determine their own rules.

I remind you that if saudi pro league was in asian continent and it was following AFC. I never seen AFC has put strict rules for asian related competition. It's quite different compared with UEFA which was applied to european clubs only.
Don't expect FIFA to see that as a sanction caused by it will never happen. Money is also talking much here.

Even now when there is a long time remaining for the next season, Real Madrid is trying to improve the teams and that's why they want to hire Alphonso Davies. Since Mendy is getting injured more often, Real Madrid is trying to hire another left-back palyer. He has two years left on his contract with Bayern Munich and he doesn't want to extend his contract with the team, Also he is young enough to become a long-term option for Real Madrid.

Spurs managed to secure the services of a talented young player from Croatia, namely Luka Vusković and he is a player born in 2007. We can calculate how old he is now and I am quite surprised that he chose Spurs among the 5 top European teams who were interested in signing him. He plays as a central defender and of course the future of Spurs' defense will be very secure for quite a long time. This player from Croatia seems impatient to defend Spurs and he is likely to join Spurs in January. His market value is 6 million euros and currently there is no further information regarding how much it will cost Spurs to recruit him from Hajduk U19.

if the upcoming transfer Madrid can really get Alphonso Davies that is good news because this player can be a very good defender but not sure whether Bayern Munich will let go of this player because Alphonso Davies also made a very strong contribution at Bayern Munich so a little It will be difficult for Real Madrid to get this player in the future but at least Madrid must have a good offer so that Bayern Munich management can think again about releasing him again.

and one hand, if transfers open again, it looks like Real Madrid will have a little difficulty deciding whether to spend a lot of money to get Mbappe or Haaland or even get Alphonso Davies.

The left back area is one position Realmadrid would definitely look into in the next transfer window and i think Alphonso Davies would make a very fine player for Realmadrid but getting him won't be easy because Tuchel wouldn't want to loose one of their most valuable player easily and Realmadrid might end up paying heavily to get him well, hopefully if he joins Madrid the competition in that position would be tough cause Mendy would really have to work hard to get fit and fight for his position.
 Getting Haaland to Realmadrid is almost impossible and it's like putting a knife on Guardiola's throat therefore i don't think he'll let him go for any price, since he's a very important player for the team, however Mbappe's mind is set on moving to Realmadrid and might likely move there if Realmadrid bid for him cause it his dream club.

You are right and they only limit the maximum number of local players in the team and there are no restrictions regarding the purchase of foreign players so that makes them very free to buy whoever they want. The rules that they can set themselves will benefit them greatly, especially when talking about abundant finances and they can make the Saudi Pro Legue a paradise for European players who want to move there.

I remind you that if saudi pro league was in asian continent and it was following AFC. I never seen AFC has put strict rules for asian related competition. It's quite different compared with UEFA which was applied to european clubs only.

I don't really understand the rules of football and if that applies then FIFA certainly can't give them any sanctions. The AFC is not very strict regarding player purchasing regulations because perhaps they never predicted this would happen before, but if Saudi Arabia starts to dominate, it is not impossible that the regulations will be revised again in the future.

Fifa has there limit, yes you heard me well. This transfer thing isn't just the club initiation but the Saudi Arabia government incentives to encourage players around the world to come to Saudi Arabia and displayed talent. The government set aside about $20B for this as investment to boost her football sector which right now, the summer transfer expenditure was $1B has so far spent on buying players from European clubs  which means they still have $19B more to sign new players from other clubs. If we are are to estimate the year left to finish this money on transfer deal, it will take them another 10 years before that investment will be fully spent on buying players; that's  if they spend $1B in every transfer period.

Arab can also leave FIFA if they want and create their own association btw.

Arab will never think about this. They know well that Fifa has an important role for football leagues in the world. If Arab leaves Fifa, I assume many players will doubt with the future of Arab football league. If it happens, no top players will join Arab Saudi.

There is no need for Saudi Arabia to form an independent body, it they wouldn't try it because they will play the world cup and they have more to lose if they try such. They know how the football world revolve around FIFA, all the techniques and improvement we have had are ideaa of Fifa, if they want to live the Fifa then they have to dissolve the things of fifa and probably even dissolve the players they have brought so far.

I don't think such will ever happen, Saudi Arabia enjoy this mutual partnership they have with Europeans, having Ronaldo is one of their greatest achievement, they wouldn't allow dirty sand to collapse the empire they have in mind to build in the nearest future.

After defeated with huge scores 4-1 from Japan finally Germany football federation have decide to sack Hansi Flick from manager position this because they feel dissapoint to Germany performance under Hansi Flick and even in the last 5 matches Germany have to conceded 16 goals and only scores 7 goals so this is poor statistics considering Germany is strong candidate for every football competitions and as a host for Euro 2024 i think Germany have to bounce back immediatelly and find new manager

Rumour is some of famous coaches such as Jurgen Klopp, Julian Nagelsmann, and Louis van Gaal has into the candidate for next manager but Klopp has been confirmed he want to staying at Liverpool and he don't interested to train Germany national team for now and Louis van Gaal have showing his interest to being an the next manager and both representative was under negotiation to talking about this

Brazil dropped Anthony from the squad, the exact same thing the Red Devils executed. Assault allegations have occurred in the past, affecting Mason Greenwood's football career. However, there is an ongoing assault instance, and we can only hope that Anthony is innocent of all the allegations leveled against him. Manchester United are in terrific form, but with the latest terrible episodes pointing towards Anthony Matheus dos Santos, it's all but certain for the Brazilian.  However, the player has stated that he is willing to collaborate with the police in carrying out their investigation.

This will be really bad for Anthony if he is convicted by the court. Brazil football federation deciding to also drop Anthony from the squad just shows how the gravity of the allegations he is facing and how much the club and Brazilian football federation do not support violence and crimes against women. I hope he is innocent and is able to come back to football.

It will depend on how Real Madrid performs this season because if this season's journey can be impressive by winning trophy at the end of the season then Real Madrid will only need to improve a little in the transfer window. Real Madrid may only need to bring in 2 defenders and 1 striker for the next transfer window. Currently, the Real Madrid squad is quite strong with the existing players because several of their players show increasingly good quality in each match.

Yes, maybe Mbappe will be Real Madrid target rather than Haaland in the next transfer window because Mbappe will be a free transfer player next season. Meanwhile, for Haaland, Real Madrid will have difficulty recruiting him because Haaland is very comfortable with Manchester City and Manchester City will not sell him.

Meanwhile, for Haaland, Real Madrid will have difficulty recruiting him because Haaland is very comfortable with Manchester City and Manchester City will not sell him.

Even they can't get Mbappe, they still have an another option which is Osimhen.

Osimhen is cheaper and easier to recruit than Mbappe, both of them have a good sense to score a goal and fast. But Mbappe is more overrated since he from France and he have won a world cup, unlike Osimhen which lack of trophy.
