⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[QueenVera]

The lad is definitely enjoying is time at Barcelona and this is the player we all knew from his benfica days. If you ask me I would put it out that I am not that surprised with his form because he had it. It was just a the club he went to that doesn’t fit his profile. Atletico Madrid is a club that plays defensively and flourishes on counter attack, the pattern of play by Simeone’s men require players that have such energy in them to track back and move forward when needed but we all know that Felix isn’t at that level physically had that is why he had a fell out with Simeone.

I see Barcelona signing him permanently if he continues with his recent form. Although Barcelona are having trouble with financial Fair play they would pull something out. For the past three seasons now Barcelona have been in this situation and have miraculously been buying players which I think is fishy

Before he moved to Barcelona on loan he made a statement that Barcelona was the team he loves and it was his dreams to play  for them, so I believe he's living the dreams and his giving his best to help them succeed, one thing about recruiting players is that when you scout and recruit a player that loves a club and is happy to make a move, those set of players end up being among the best in the team cause they're playing  with love and passion for the club and will help the team succeed especially when they're a top class, i think Barcelona won't regret getting him on loan and Xavi needs to do everything possible to make sure he secures enough funds from the board to sign Joao Felix on a complete transfer.
 
 He's made me enjoy creating viewing Barcelona matches since his arrival and has scored both in the league and champions league for Barcelona within this shot period of his arrival,so tell me which manager in his right sense won't love to bring him into their squad, Chelsea made a big mistake to allow him leave without pushing to sign him completely but i believe Xavi won't make same mistake and would do everything possible to keep Félix in his team.

Years ago Eden Hazard joined Real Madrid for a huge amount of money and that transfer was very expensive in Real Madrid, but in he couldn't have a good performance when he was playing there and that's why we can say Eden Hazard was also the worst transfer for them.
Currently, he is still searching for the next team and it seems Royale Union Saint‑Gilloise is the destination for this player.

Eden Hazard have failed to impressed his fans after making the move to Santiago Bernabeu, he declined in his performance and started losing the good reputation he already set while in Chelsea. Eden Hazard was a lover of football and knows how to deal with his opponents on the ball. There's basically no time for the retired Belgium player to bounce back to the game, he exhausted his cards and I know fully well he will make plans to retire afterall he's close to retirement this season, after rejecting bids with no reason, he's a free player and would take his own decisions.

I don't think so, because in this case I still feel that if Barcelona had solid finances and didn't have financial problems like they have in the last few seasons they would definitely try to bring Messi back but because they are aware that something like that is impossible so Like it or not, they have to be reluctant, especially with the conditions of Messi's salary and price, it is clear that it will be very difficult for Barcelona if they continue to impose their will. Currently they have gone their own way and I don't think we need to discuss things like this anymore because in the end they have become the past and now Barcelona only has to focus on returning to performance and improving financial management so that it doesn't get destroyed like the previous 2 seasons.

I think it's time for Barcelona fans to forget about Messi's return to the club as a player, only if only to work in the structure of the club after the end of an active career. Xavi Hernandez has already successfully built a new model of Barcelona's game without the need for Messi's presence, he has already achieved quite successful results and therefore it is not necessary to break it all for the nostalgic return of his former idol. And I think the ratio of price (salary) and quality of the current Messi is no longer optimal for Barcelona, but on the contrary will be an unaffordable burden.

Ole Solskjaer's latest interview with The Athletic media provides some information regarding the transfer of players who were targeted by Manchester United. The former Red Devils coach said there were several players who were targets, such as Erling Haaland, Declan Rice and Moise Caicedo. These are all the target players targeted by Ole Solskjaer when he was still coach of Manchester United. Meanwhile, he also added that he was interested in bringing in Harry Kane at that time but it all failed due to budget constraints that Manchester United did not have due to Covid.

I think even if this transfer is realized it will certainly be a muddy hole for the player's career considering the current condition of Manchester United. Even with all the necessary players available in the summer, Manchester United is still in a continuing slump.

Improvement of Manchester United is not going to happen soon In my opinion. The moment we think Manchester United is improving or going to improve, they start performing really badly. They are definitely spending a lot of money. But they are not getting the results that they probably should. And that is eventually making a lot of players not be interested in going to Manchester United. However still Manchester United is spending more money to bring in players. Sometimes they are giving more money than the player deserves to bring him in the team. But even that is not helping them too much to be honest.

It's just too funny lol.

Barcelona already have a lot great and young players, no need to expect Messi return to Barcelona.

In midfielder they have Pedri, Gavi, De Jong and Gundongan. If Messi back to Barcelona, he will not have a place to play, but these young players obviously don't mind to let Messi take his place due to seniorism.

Anyone who expects Messi to return to Barcelona, I'm sure he doesn't understand about football, it's likely that he is only a child who idolizes Messi as you said what was expected from Messi when Barcelona already had many talented young players this means they don't need old players anymore. Messi might come back but not as a player but in another position, for example as a coach in the future or even the club owner, who knows right? we don't know how long he is active as a player remembering his old age.

[len01]

Although it is not impossible, re-signing Neymar or Messi is not a wise policy. In line with you, an expensive salary will not be commensurate with the contribution he can make to the club because he is no longer young. It's better to take advantage of potential young players from the academy, give them playing minutes and orbit them like Lamine Yamal. Like Ronaldo, there is actually no drama in his move, Ronaldo demands more playing minutes and doesn't like to be left on the bench. Ten Hag does not want to take a big risk by always including him in the XI if there is minimal contribution, considering the age factor and the competitiveness of the EPL.

Regarding Joao Felix and Cancelo, if they can be consistent with their performance, it is very likely that Xavi will try to make them permanent at the end of the season. It could be that by releasing several other players, it will cover the costs of recruiting both or one of them.

what I thought a few days ago when Felix was at Barcelona on loan. one hand, this player has very good talent, in fact, in short, he adapts very quickly to combine chemistry with other players who always succeed in providing the reliability he has and I admit that Felix is indeed a player who deserves to be permanent because seeing Felix appearance, he is very comfortable competing with his teammates. this team and always contribute very well.
I also agree and believe that there will be surprise in the coming season if Xavi will make a suggestion to keep this player.

Hazard was on his prime in chelsea once madrid bought him worth 100 millions but his performance had decreased significantly after he was coming to the madrid. Hazard was a failed transfer for madrid he was in the best form when he had still played for chelsea.
I don't even know what happened to him. His performance was very different compared when he was still on chelsea. I thought that many restriction from real madrid's coach gave him very big pressure in the past.
That's also affecting his performance again.

Currently, he is still searching for the next team and it seems Royale Union Saint‑Gilloise is the destination for this player.

Is this true? I have heard him said if he was willing to retire from playing football. Hazard has been also announcing it before if he has retired from playing football.
he will compete with his brother if he will be back to the belgium club.

I hope he will come back again. It's very disappointed to see him announced his retired so fast.

Indeed, I also thought like that when Manchester United was quite convincing since last season and I thought they would repeat it this season, but it seems that never happened. In fact, even though the fans often protest for the Glazzers to leave quickly, they have always prepared what Erik Ten Hag needs and in fact this summer's transfer does not seem to have had any impact on the performance of the Red Devils.

I think this is quite natural considering that when a big team like Manchester United is interested in a player, the club owner does not hesitate to increase the price of the player and like it or not, Manchester United has to accept the deal if their target is to be realized. I think that is the dilemma for big teams when there is a player who is quite promising in a mediocre club and the big team has to be willing to dig deeper into their pockets even though we know his quality is still questionable.

In my opinion, Duo Joao has no other choice at their respective clubs, therefore, when Barcelona needs their services, they are hungry to maximize this opportunity. If you look at how happy Joao Felix is at Barcelona and not only Xavi is helped by his presence, several other players also feel the same way and can both maximize each other's goals. At Atletico Madrid Joao Felix's role was very underrated and at Chelsea his role was not that prominent so when the offer came to play at Barcelona he was very enthusiastic. Any club facing Barcelona will definitely be reluctant to see the composition that Xavi currently has.

Xavi is one of the best coaches in the world not just because of the quality of Barcelona but his relationship with players.  He is an emotional coach who understands the travails of players. We might say that he went for João Cancelo and João Fellx because they are cheap and suits the financial strength of his club.  But he just gave these maltreated players a lifeline. Both Joãos were facing several challenges in their club that could lead to the end of their career but Xavi selflessly came to rescue them.

Xavi has started reaping a bountiful harvest for believing in two players who were highly maltreated and underrated. Felix scored in Barca's game against Real Betis and provided the needed assistance for Robert Lewandowski's goal. Concelo was solid in the defense helping Barca to get a clean sheet. Just hoping that these players will keep improving and contributing to Barca.

[Hirose UK]

Vitor Roque is a young player from Brazil who is starting to show excellent playing abilities and skills as a striker and while playing with Club Athletico Paranaense he became one of the young players who produced quite a lot of goals and wins.
It is not surprising that Barcelona is trying hard to really be able to recruit Vitor Roque and prepare all the aspects needed one of which is the budget for transfers and salaries.
Yes maybe winning all the matches in the Champions League could help Barcelona collect some money and immediately bring in Vitor Roque because this recruitment takes up quite a large budget or there is another way by selling several players that they don't contribute to the team but by Selling players to bring in Vitor Roque looks like Xavi will definitely not do that.

Selling players aren't a good way to make profit, it's just temporary and you need to gamble to find other good potential players. If those players are keep playing for Barcelona and get many trophies, they will get bonus, engagement, promotion, investment and any other possible income from other people.

Big teams like Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Manchester City, etc are always been every players' dreams and their peak career will be in this these teams.

Yes, because selling players will only make it difficult for a team which will only make player changes and it may not necessarily be as expected but most teams do this so they can more quickly pursue or recruit the players they are targeting and for Vitor Roque he is a young player with talent good enough that he could even have a bright and glorious future when he joins Barcelona.
Taking advantage of existing players by winning every match to generate a number of profits is not an easy and quick thing to do.

Obviously what you mentioned is the greatest big team that every league has so it is natural that many players want to join them but if they are only offered a small salary it seems difficult to get great players.
Just as European players who already have big names prefer to play for Saudi League teams because they offer large salaries so in a football player career money is an important factor that takes priority.

Chelsea apparently have to dissapoint with Aaron Ramsdale decision this because he still comfortable to playing at Arsenal although Aaron Ramsdale have to compete with David Raya for first goalkeeper position but Ramsdale said he won't give up to get that position especially Ramsdale is still happy to playing with Arsenal but apparently Chelsea won't give up and this winter they will attempts to buy Ramsdale however Chelsea is lack of good goalkeeper because before summer transfer window closed Chelsea has decide to loaned Kepa Arrizabalaga to Real Madrid and this causes Chelsea only has Robert Sanchez as experience goalkeeper and Pochettino doesn't want to rely on to Sanchez only so that's why this winter Pochettino want to find new goalkeeper

After the end of the relationship with PSG, there were rumors that Messi would return to Barcelona and many active media outlets confirmed that Messi was interested in returning to Barcelona, but all the rumors proved false and Messi finally left for an American club. Messi spent a long time in Barcelona, Messi's career started in Barcelona so it is not unusual that he would want to return to Barcelona again. Messi has enough love for Barcelona that he may have wanted to return to the club again and again but he did not return to the club due to various considerations.  

Now if we think that Messi will return to Barcelona but as a manager, then it is a far-fetched thought because at the moment Messi does not choose the profession of manager. Messi may prefer to play for a longer period of time and may retire from football when his body does not cope with him.

What a stupid club. Chelsea has kepa, but the club loaned him to the real madrid and sign david raya. Chelsea is now targeting ramsdale as a new goal keeper for the club. I just wanna know who the fak is, the scouting team of chelsea?
It seems like that the scouting team of chelsea becomes even more stupid. They must be sacked by the club. Ther's no need to use them anymore. The main problem from this club was on even on its goal keeper.
I can't even describe how stupid this club is. Im so sorry for the blues fan but this is the fact. Chelsea was focusing on recruiting goal keeper instead of getting someone who will have proper positioning in helping the club to score goals.
The decision to approach ramsdale was so terrible. This club is really a mediocre club but with lots of money.

[fuguebtc]

Barcelona is also experiencing a financial crisis so it is impossible to return Messi or Neymar to his old club, Barcelona will not be able to afford on the one hand their salaries are small there and they are old, what to expect in these two former Barcelona players who will soon retire.

Ronaldo had a conflict with Manchester United so he was dropped from the squad. But he seems happy now to be in the Arab League with a lot of money. LOL

Joao Felix is a loan player, if Atletico Madrid put a high price tag it seems Barcelona will not dare to take it, just rely on young players from the academy, but now they are not in a player crisis so stay relaxed for Xavi.

Barcelona have issues with La Liga FFP rules unfortunately so they aren't able to spend a lot of money for transfers for now. This was why they couldn't sign Joao Felix permanently.

However this is still not a problem for Barcelona currently. Because their current performance level is quite satisfying. They have just destroyed Antwerp in the Champions League by a big gap. I felt like we were in good old days of Barcelona.    Felix is really impressive since he joined them. He is playing for his dream team of course. I have never seen him this ambitious. 

Even though the opponent in this match was not the strongest, but the result is really very good, especially it can help to raise their competitive spirit. Despite the problems with finances, the transfer window was conducted decently, and most importantly - productively, because you can see that it went in their favour, they spent minimum money and got maximum return

@ajiz138

The career of Cristiano Ronaldo should have ended in a better way. Only if he decided to go to Manchester City instead of Manchester United. His career definitely would have ended in a better way. I don't know how you can decide to not play the very player that carried you on his back in the last season. But they did make that decision and I know a lot of people are going to say that this was the right decision made by them. And they will also say that Manchester United has definitely improved after that. But honestly, I do not see the improvement. They still have the same old problems that they had before. Cristiano Ronaldo is still saying that he wants to play in the next World Cup for Portugal. I do not think he will actually get a chance in the squad.

Anyone who thought Messi and Neymar were going to return to Barcelona is definitely stupid. Barcelona currently cannot even register players because they don't have enough money. How are they going to pay Messi and Neymar the salary?

Why need transfer dollars when you can play like Barcelona did against Antwerp? Barcelona's financial diet may be due to La Liga's FFP restrictions, but the game versus Antwerp was great and a return to greatness

Joo Felix? The kid is living his dream, and I'm jealous. I wish I felt that way about work. The same man who seemed stuck in Atletico Madrid's defense scheme now playing like he's on fire. I agree; he's working harder than ever to succeed. Barcelona would be foolish not to extend his contract, even against FFP, if he keeps performing like this

Barcelona are in good winning shapes, thrashing Royal Antwerp in the first leg of UCL, also sends a direct message to the fans, they're outstanding this season. Barcelona have what it takes to compete in tougher competition this season. Xavi Hernandez signing prominent players that are part of the upgrade level of performance for the club. For Joao Felix, he's having one of the brightest moments in his football career, scoring goals and making immense positive impact in the frontline for the blaugrana, this is just the beginning and there's alot he would offered as long has he's given regular playing time.

Felix is really happy and from his performance and his facial expressions you will know that he is happy. He said after that he is happy playing for his dream team and being happy always brings out the best in a player. Felix has always been a good player but Atletico is not a team that suit his style that’s why his performance has been excellent in Barcelona. I believe he will become a key player in the squad that will determine the wyas of the team.

I have always known his abilities since his time at Chelsea and i was surprised when chelsea decided to let him go because Pochettino said he was not part of his plans, he was easily the best player in chelsea last season but due to the poor team performance it had effect on him as well. Joining barca now is the best move for him and i hope they have the funds to permanent his deal with them and also i hope Atletico make the deal easy for barcelona because felix has already sacrificed  amount alot for barcelona.
