⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[shogun47]

Felix is really happy and from his performance and his facial expressions you will know that he is happy.

What Joao Felix has done so far has also made Barcelona happy and Barcelona's decision to respond well to his desire to play at this club has at least paid off, with the very little money they have spent in the transfer market and with what is currently being shown it is quite profitable for Barcelona, and the next thing is how they patented Joao Felix as a full Barcelona player.

Felix definitely living his dream, that was something he wanted for a very long time. I hope that he does well enough, feel like he could definitely do something that would make a lot of sense for him on the long run. I believe that we could see Barcelona growing a lot higher this way.

I mean the yare not spending the worlds on transfers, and getting players that actually want to play there. They are a big club with a great name and there are a lot of players that loves them, so they just pay the salary, and just a bit of transfer fee every year. They could just make it work in a way where they will end up with much and much less expense, and with their growing income from the success they get, they may repay the debt.

But this may not be the end of the story for Joao Felix as this is only a loan contract right? The problem I see is if Joao Felix is doing really really well, Atletico Madrid will either want him back in their team or they will ask a prohibitively high transfer fee that Barcelona might not be able to stem. Or maybe they are making good progress until then with their consolidation procedure, but it is still unknown whether Joao Felix can leave Atletico Madrid once and for all and join Barcelona. We should not forget how much Atletico paid for him. If he plays an excellent season they will ask for an excellent price from their perspective.

According to Bild Jadon Sancho is still not a target for Dortmund despite the speculations. I'm not surprised to tell the truth because what were they going to say right after the end of the transfer window?

Maybe in January things might change about this situation. Because it doesn't look like Sancho will stay at Manchester United for a long time. The relationship between him and Erik ten Hag has gone worse. I don't think a middle way will be found from now on because Sancho clearly said that he wouldn't apologize. What do you think on his next team?

Joao brothers aka Felix and Cancelo looks really different when they were playing in their old teams and when they play for Barcelona, I expect Barcelona will sign both of them permanently. Barcelona need to prepare at least 200 Million Euros because Atletico Madrid tend to ask ridiculous amount.

I couldn't believe my eyes that guy once played for Chelsea, his ball control in the last match he played in the Champions League was above what I expected for a starter that has bad days in his previous club but he picked interest in Barcelona with pride or probably it was because he had it in his mind to be at Barcelona one day. Felix having two goal in his first appearance and Man of the match is incredible, it's like having Bellingham in Real Madrid but he has less appearance for now, time will tel if he is going to continue to shine like this in the coming weeks and months as the leagues continue.

I don't think Barcelona is going to buy Felix, the reason is that in his current contract, there was not option for buy clause which means that Barcelona cannot buy him untill this contract expire and they wish to buy him, they have to come to agreement on a new terms to finalize how much they wish to buy him and that is if Atletico Madrid agree to sell, if they don't want to sell, Barcelona will not have him unless they want to use money to convince the parent team.

Barcelona will definitely want to keep the both of them, but i don't think they can because of their current financial situation, Manchester City and Athletico Madrid will ask for quite a lot of money for a permanent transfer for each of the players, coupled with their salary/wages. I expect both Joao Cancelo and Joao Felix to return to their respective clubs after their loan spell is over, and from there they'll prolly be sold to another club that has the money to buy them.

[baeva]

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?

I've never heard any rumours that Neymar might return to Barcelona. Messi as far as we know rejected the idea himself because he found cutting other players' wages for his presence unacceptable and it was indeed a wise decision. In the end Barcelona could theoretically afford it anyway by cutting other players' wages and their budget wouldn't suffer much, and the worst part is that they were prepared to do it despite the fact that they are already very much in debt

With Barcelona current financial condition, this is a big challenge, their worrying finances will be a big obstacle in fulfilling the wishes of many people, including me also hoping that Joao Felix and Joao Cancelo will be made permanent. The contribution that both of them have made to Barcelona is very convincing in terms of continuous goal contributions and will have a significant impact if Barcelona tries in any way to generate such a large redemption amount.

If Joao Cancelo plays well and consistently with Barcelona, ​​there is a big possibility that Barcelona can make him permanent as part of their team. even though he has only played a few matches, Cancelo has played quite well and has even contributed one goal for his new team. Maybe City will let him go for a price that Barcelona can afford. especially, if Barcelona wins various trophies. thus, Barcelona will receive an injection of funds. plus, from several other sources. But we'll see if Barcelona intends to make Cancelo an official La Blaugrana player.
referring to the transfer mark, Cancelo has a market value of €50 million.

Well, as for Joao Felix, I doubt Altetico will let him go with a relatively cheap price tag. Even though Diego Simeone did not include him in his squad list, what is certain is that they will not let this player from Portugal go cheaply. apparently, after spending one season with Barcelona. Joao Felix will return to Atletico Madrid, even if he is able to contribute to Barcelona. because, most likely Atletico will not let him go at a cheap price.

These players fit with Xavi's tactics, they also have good supports from all Barcelona players. That's why both Felix and Cancelo can adapt quickly, they can show their best forms very early. Meanwhile, in the previous clubs, Felix and Cancelo didn't get full supports from their team mates and they also didn't fit with the tactics made by the coaches. Now, they are happy to play with Barcelona, they are in the right place to improve their performances.

I agree Barcelona should sign Felix and Cancelo permanently. But I'm not sure if Barcelona has enough money to sign both players. I think 200 Million Euros isn't a small amount of money, Barcelona probably get difficulty to find the money. Unless Barcelona can sell a few players, I am a bit doubt Barcelona can have enough money to sign Felix and Cancelo.

I assume Barcelona will ask for loaning those players back. But Man City and Atletico Madrid probably will try to sell those players with higher prices if they can play well for Barcelona during this season.

Joao Felix has always been a player with huge potentials; when on loan at Chelsea and playing at Atletico Madrid, he was not able to demonstrate his true expertise as a footballer. Now that he has an opportunity to do so, he is regaining the fan’s attention and love. I've always believed that if given the chance elsewhere, he can accomplish big things, and he's already proven at Barcelona that he's worth relying on.

Barcelona's decision to make him a permanent player is now dependent on their financial situation. I doubt they can afford the fee that Atletico Madrid will demand for this guy. He is worth it, but Barcelona has been having financial problems for some time now, which is not ideal for them because it limits their options.

 Félix and Cancelo are one of the best signings so far this season, Barcelona have  become stronger since they came into the team and Xavi would be very happy he brought then in this summer, because they've been outstanding especially João Félix who's been consistent in goal scoring since he came into the club and has also given assists as well, they deserve more support by then fans to motivate them to do better in every matchday.

 This financial issue they're undergoing currently in their team is really a problem in them getting players for a  huge fee and the  only option left is to sign them, on loan again or the player forcing a transfer out of the club, left for Félix he'll be do eager to leave Atletico Madrid for Barcelona and I think Pep doesn't got much need of Cancelo, anyways I'm really impressed with Barcelona's performance this season

Xavi Hernandez would relaxed when watching his team performs on the pitch specifically against mediocre teams, the blaugrana will thrashed their opponents easily. Barcelona signing prominent players from the transfer market this season will definitely help the club bounced back to winning ways as usual. João Félix and João Cancelo are both outstanding and remarkable in the game, always ready to display their best form, the club board would have no doubt to extend their contracts when it's time. Giving them regular playtime gave sorted good results for the club.

[red4slash]

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.

True, if they are good fans then they will be wise enough to address the conditions that are happening for Barcelona now and not always hope that Messi and Barcelona can reunite.
They must be aware about Barcelona's finances will not be able to handle the problem if Messi returns to Barcelona at this time because we know with Messi's huge salary then it is clearly impossible. Although there will definitely be a return of lost sponsorship, it is still pointless if in the end with Messi at Barcelona, they have to let go of some players who are currently very good in terms of cooperation as a relief for their Financial.
Although Messi is no longer at Barcelona, he will still be considered a Barcelona legend and nothing has changed from that.

[legendbtc]

During this transfer window, many rumors speculated that Barcelona would welcome Messi or Neymar back. But in reality, nothing unexpected happened. Their economy needs to be more vital to do that. Focusing on young players remains Xavi's top priority.
On the other hand, Xavi expects the squad to remain the same as last season when they successfully won the La Liga championship. Lewandowski will undoubtedly be an indispensable part of Barcelona. Still, if he loses form this season, this is a sign that Barcelona needs to spend a lot of money to find a striker to replace him.

Both Messi and Neymar are always looking for money, they don't care about their previous teams that make them to reach to their current position, only Ronaldo is still want to play in his old team.

Xavi is nothing to worry, they have Joao Felix that can replace Lewandowski and sooner or later the young star e.g. Vitor Roque will become a striker in Barcelona.

I don't understand why you say Messi is greedy for money. He agreed to take a pay cut to stay in Barcelona and returned there. Barcelona pushed him away and did not agree to let him return to Camp Nou. Messi chose to join Inter Miami instead of receiving a more significant amount of money from Saudi Arabia. He wants to find a new home at the end of his career.
Meanwhile, Ronaldo was the one who needed money when he agreed to go to Saudi Arabia.

Do you think football is really that simple? The way you want to change a central striker is straightforward.

Guys have already said on this thread that Joao Felix was a world-class player and had so much creativity with his own skills. Some stupid people say that Joao Felix will floop here in Barcelona like he did in Atlético Madrid and more over Chelsea, but I tried to convince him, but they didn't believe. Now everyone has witnessed his world-class performance in Barcelona.
Anyway, it is a very good decision for Barcelona to bring Joao Felix on lone. Moreover, it is the right decision for Jao Felix to come here to Barcelona. I hope that Xavi gives him much more time to prove himself right. And at the end of the season, Barcelona will try to complete his signing from Atlético Madrid and give him a chance at an honorable club league.

Don't rush it. They are still only playing a few games. Barcelona will be testing their worthiness for the club till the end of the season. Im quite impressed with felix's performance being combined with lewandowski and ferran torres. Even some people were also calling them trio FLF but it's still early for them to be called worthy enough for barcelona as permanent transfer. Felix needs to prove more caused by he has the highest fees compared with cancelo.
Atletico asks for too much money for Felix, but they don't know how to make him reach his full potential for the club..

Felix and Cancelo were the last quite impressive signings made by Xavi because these two players immediately made many changes to the progress of Barcelona game. Seeing that Felix continues to develop well with Barcelona, ​​of course he gets great support from his teammates. Even when he was at Chelsea last season he seemed to have failed to make a big contribution because he failed to adapt well to the Chelsea squad at that time.

It must be admitted that Cancelo and Felix found the right team for the further advancement of their careers, so it is not surprising that Felix said that Barcelona was his dream team and now he is proving it with the contribution he makes in every match. Barcelona this season may be more unified in their strength and I think Xavi is starting a better era to rebuild Barcelona to become the strongest in Europe.

[LUCKMCFLY]

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.

Well, there is something that I like here, Brazilian players always tend to look for teams of this style, because they dream of winning a UCL, something that anyone can be excited about, winning or participating in a UCL is something sensational, what I know It should be noted, however something must be highlighted, when a young talent comes, he can go to any of these two teams because they are young, they can adapt them quickly to their style of play, to get the level they want and then take advantage of it as much as possible. that they can, that is the style, now, between Barcelona and Madrid, I think that Madrid could also be interested in this player due to the characteristics that I mentioned before, however everything depends on the player if he only receives offers from Barcelona, but at the same time judging that Madrid needs players now and with those characteristics, in terms of money Madrid can beat Barcelona, that becomes a race, only where the money and taste of the player can win, it would be interesting for a team from Arabia I also tried to contact him, to see what he can do.

According to some news it is a fact that they have signed him:

When will Vitor Roque arrive at Barcelona? Deco gives update on Brazilian wonderkid's transfer

Barcelona have set a January arrival date for teenage striker Vitor Roque, but financial fair play could alter their plans.

    Signed Brazilian teenager in July
    Financial regulations could prevent January arrival
    Brought in Joao Cancelo, Joao Felix to round out transfer window

WHAT HAPPENED? Barcelona agreed a €35 million (£30m/$38.4m) deal for the Athletico Paranaense striker in July, negotiating a January 2024 arrival for the highly-rated prospect. However, financial fair play regulations might see them settle for a later date.

Well, Barcelona is aiming for very good things, they want to put their team at full strength, they want to win everything, and they know that with young players they can achieve it faster, they may achieve it, in any case this bothers me because it's been football should take a good and emeoines tone to be able to perform better, the thing is that Xavi was very criticized last season even though he won La Liga, which is very good, but they still need to gain a higher level in it, now They have a very good opportunity, because they have a lot to do now, the players are aiming to win everything, and they are in a team that can be the strongest of all, of course in competitions like the UCL because they have very strong contenders, for me Bayern is one of those who are best made up and City is also one of the best, Pep Guardiola is one of the best who do things excellently, for me this UCL will be very cool and Exciting.

Well, in my opinion this is a relatively expensive fee but also quite reasonable and in any case the role of these two players is very important for Barcelona's development. We know that there is no doubt about the quality of Joao Felix and Joao Cancelo, it has been proven that in several previous matches both of them contributed goals to Barcelona's victory. But again, where can Barcelona get that much money with the current financial situation and it seems very impossible for Barcelona to make him permanent. I think that if the loan contract ends, Barcelona must be willing to be prepared to part with both of them.

Obviously it is a cost that is quite expensive for the Barcelona family to make these two players permanent, well it is true that these two players are no doubt, they have a very good contribution there and obviously this will be very good ammunition for the development of Barcelona itself, the point is that both Joao Felix and Joao Cancelo can provide something that Barcelona needs even though their status is still a loan player there. And yes that is always the question, where Barcelona will be able to get the fantastic money to make these two players permanent, as we know now Xavi's squad is not doing well in financial matters, and of course this is always their obstacle.

Oh well recently I heard a statement from Barcelona that if these two players can give their best performances for the umpteenth time before the loan period ends then I hear they will open up opportunities to retain these two players, but I don't know for sure whether it's in the sense of extending the loan period or buying permanently. What is clear is that if Barcelona wants to make these two players Joao Felix and Joao Cancelo permanent then clearly Barcelona must prepare approximately 200 million, and that is very difficult to realize in the midst of financial problems that continue to be an obstacle to this squad.

According to a report from Fabrizio Romano, when Joao Cancelo was asked about his loan period ending in June next year, the player answered that it was up to the club, which means that Barcelona wants to maintain his contract by extending the loan period or making it permanent later.

As a player, Joao Cancelo only wants to give the best for his dream team and to be able to perform well and then be able to win the title is the result he has always wanted. So, whatever Barcelona's decision, these two players will be ready to accept it and what is important for them is to make a good contribution while at Barcelona.

Pochettino, who has experience in the EPL, should realise that when young players are released without any senior players, it will clearly make them chaotic.
The individual quality of some of the players at Chelsea even though they are young but I think some of them are very good it's just that when no one can be used as a leader on the field then it becomes difficult.

You're making some valid points here because when I look at the team, all I see are inexperienced players, I still don't understand the reason behind giving Reece James the captain band, we have Tiago silver in the team yet Reece James that's not even active in most of the games for the season is been given the captaincy. The worst is making chilwell the assistant and that means he'll always be the captain because Reece James isn't always present. What leadership experience does Chilwell has or has anyone seen him demonstrate on the pitch. I'm sure Pochettino wasn't the brain behind this decisions and it was Todd Boehly idea to reward academy boys that give loyalty to the club. We lack experience totally in the squad and that's why we have been losing games that we should take all 3 points and look forward to the big games to draw.

Joao Felix has always been a player with huge potentials; when on loan at Chelsea and playing at Atletico Madrid, he was not able to demonstrate his true expertise as a footballer. Now that he has an opportunity to do so, he is regaining the fan’s attention and love. I've always believed that if given the chance elsewhere, he can accomplish big things, and he's already proven at Barcelona that he's worth relying on.

I seriously don't understand why he was asked to leave the club by Pochettino because he feels he won't fit into his system. Didn't he know Nkunku isn't a very active player and always on injuries leave. Joao Felix was one of our best players last season even when everyone was playing rubbish, he stood out of the crowd because of his talent yet he didn't get a permanent move to the club. If he was around we could have been using him in place of Nkunku by now and even when Nkunku is fine the coach could have played him in another position. We didn't do our thinking right because that was the beginning of Pochettino mistakes in the squad. I hear Chelsea were looking to bring him back in January, I just hope he decide to forgive the club and come back because Chelsea is seriously in need of players like him or we'll be in a position that'll be worst than last season.

yep, you are right and it makes sense that when he was at Chelsea, Felix looked like he was useless and was said to have failed in terms of career, but that was not his fault, it was just that Felix was a talented player who needed a great coach who could improve his talent. So after being successfully recruited by Barcelona, Felix became more fierce and managed to get a very good contribution after Xavi was able to develop the player talent and was pretty sure that if Felix always performed extraordinary, Xavi would try to make him permanent in the next season.

[Mustang Shelby]

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

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?

I've never heard any rumours that Neymar might return to Barcelona. Messi as far as we know rejected the idea himself because he found cutting other players' wages for his presence unacceptable and it was indeed a wise decision. In the end Barcelona could theoretically afford it anyway by cutting other players' wages and their budget wouldn't suffer much, and the worst part is that they were prepared to do it despite the fact that they are already very much in debt

I think Messi should not have considered his commitment to the club economically. They could have agreed on a symbolic figure, since Messi can still earn big money through advertisements. Barcelona might not be able to give him the salary he wanted, but I would expect him to be more loyal to Barcelona.
