⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Nheer]

it's not a serious problem for chelsea. Armando broja is fully recovering from his injury. My guess if armando broja will be playing as starting line up soon as jackson will be suspended due to the fourth yellog card that already received by him. Chelsea may need to use the same scheme but different striker. I hope that broja will able to perform so well compared with jackson which was always facing difficulty in making proper finishing.
Broja has been also playing against brighton and everything is still fine for chelsea as long as pochettino will not do stupid thing again.

We can’t say what pochettino would end up doing to the tactics but i know for sure he can’t play an off position player to play the striking role so definitely Broja should be his best pick to play as a striker. Broja is just recovering from injury so we should not expect so much from him, he would definitely give his best but I think we should limit our expectations. From the beginning i knew Jackson was not a clinical striker, he is a decent striker but not as clinical as we chelsea fans want him to be so before the end of the transfer window I expected chelsea to finalize Vlahovic’s deal so we don’t face this kind of problems in future. It’s not late though we can always sign a. Better striker but in doing so I think one of Broja or Jackson would have to go.

If not much thing changes when Nkunku returns then Chelsea might need to sign another striker in January. But hopefully there won't be such need after Nkunku recovers. He is a really quality striker and I hope his end won't be like Werner at Chelsea.

We would need a new striker regardless, Nkunku is not a natural striker but a supporting striker that enjoys operating behind a striker so when he recovers and joins up with the squad we would still definitely need a new striker because it would be good to see two goal scorers in your squad instead of just one. Nkunku playing style differs from that of werner so he would be different but sincerely Werner had some impact for chelsea even though he missed a lot goal scoring opportunities he was still relevant and helped the team in a different way.

Seeing the polemic that exists between players and coaches, Barcelona wants to take advantage of the existing situation by being interested in bringing in Jadon Sancho from Manchester United. It seems that Xavi wants to continue updating his squad in this season's competition so that there are more player options, especially since Ansu Fati was loaned to Brighton, leaving Barcelona short of a right winger. I think this transfer will go quite smoothly considering that the problems that exist until now are still not resolved and maybe it's just a matter of how Barcelona can get a cheap price to be able to bring Jadon Sancho to Barcelona. Do you think this is the right transfer for Barcelona and what is the right price for Jadon Sancho?

This is just a rumor in South Korea, there is some news about their player Son Heung-min leaving Tottenham this season, Son Heung-min is a 31-year-old palyer and is under contract with Tottenham until 2025 which is reason to say Tottenham will never let this player to leave easily. But it seems Real Madrid wants to hire him in 2024 because they lost their hope about Mbappe and that's why Real Madrid wants to hire Son Heung-min as plan B.

Son Heung-min is a quite dangerous player when playing with the right team and this season in 7 appearances with Tottenham he managed to score 5 goals plus he is also a very agile attacking player who doesn't give up easily.
If Real Madrid uses Son Heung-min as a plan B for the failure to recruit Mbappe maybe this could be a good option but it looks like Tottenham will ask for quite a large amount of money to price Son Heung-min.

Now Tottenham themselves are performing quite well and if you look at the line-up they already have players who can be said to be perfect and when Son Heung-min leaves I worried that it will affect Tottenham performance next season if they don't immediately look for a replacement for Son Heung-min in their squad.

Marseille getting bought by a Saudi Arabian team should not really be a big deal, but Zidane is not going to be coaching it from what I read. It looks like we are going to end up with something that could end up with something much bigger, and that would be a general manager position.

I think he just wants to use that money to buy players and build a team, not really manage it. Coaching the team and building the team are different things, when you build the team, you could be anywhere, and you would fly all over the world to talk to the players and teams to do that, or you could just stay wherever you are and send someone else in your stead, but when you are coaching, you have to be with the team all the time.

Currently, if you see some news that occurs, the benchmark for Zidane wanting to be at Marseille is if investors from Arabia can buy Marseille so that he can consider coaching Marseille.
This is actually a clever way because after all Zidane does not want his career to decline even though he has not coached a club for a long time and with the presence of Arab investors with the abundance of wealth entering Marseille indirectly this will make it easier for Zidane to bring in some players who will be worthy and can be aligned with PSG in Ligue 1 because after all, at this time even though we often say that Marseille and PSG are rivals but in terms of players they are not comparable and with the presence of Arab investors I think this can turn things around from Marseille.

I have also heard about this. I am also pretty sure that Zidane is not going to be coaching them. Let's be honest he is not going to be interested in coaching these kind of teams. He will be interested to coach teams that has a legacy. Teams like Real Madrid, or probably other teams in the English Premier League. Probably would have given a thought about it if it was PSG.

I think they are going to take the similar kind of approach like Newcastle United. We can see how they had improved after they spent a lot of money to bring in good players. They will probably take the same approach, and after they have a quality squad, which is far better compared to what they have now, they will probably bring in a good coach.

Son is a sense choice by real madrid. He is also as good as kane but he was also able playing as attacking midfielder as well. Mbappe is too expensive and he is not even worthy of his price. Son has everything real madrid need at this moment. He was also good enough as a striker this time.
Son is fast and he has also good one touch combined with proper finishing. He is not a selfish guy. He is very suitable to be used as a striker by real madrid. His contract is almost end and he may also join in real madrid to get new experience.
What a good target from real madrid and i hope that ancellotti will make it happen. Son deserves a spot to play in the real madrid this season.
I do really support him to leave from totenham and join in the real madrid in winter. He is the most suitable striker to fill striker position. Totenham may also put the same price tag as kane.

Recently there were reports that Tottenham wanted to extend the contract of Heung-min Son. Harry Kane has left the team. Richarlison is not performing as expected. Heung-min Son is Tottenham's best player right now. I see him as a good team player who can play for any team. If he transfers to Real Madrid I'm sure he can be part of the team like a good soldier. But he has a contract with Tottenham. I'm sure Tottenham won't give him to Real Madrid for free. Real Madrid even wanted to sign Mbappe for free. If they want to transfer Heung-min Son, they will have to convince the president of Tottenham. But we know from Harry Kane's transfer to Bayern Munich that the Tottenham president is stubborn in these matters.

[KTChampions]

Do you really believe this nonsense? Mbappe will sign/extend his contract so that PSG can sell him, instead of just pocketing the signing bonus  I don’t know in what universe this could happen - as we have already seen, Mbappe is cunning and greedy enough not to miss the opportunity to earn money, but in this case it will turn out that he will simply give money to PSG.

Mbappe took advantage of the opportunity very well, but what is certain is that PSG will not lose money with his behavior. However, as a club, PSG will be full of calculations in financing each of its players, both in terms of bonuses and paying player salaries. As you mentioned he did not miss the golden opportunity to get a big bonus from PSG, and on the other hand PSG also took advantage in the same form from Mbappe for staying at the club. At first glance, Mbappe transfer process is very long-winded and full of speculation, in the end Mbappe is as a player who looks very selfish.

On the other hand, I think PSG movements in the transfer market last summer were an attempt to convince Mbappe that the club would be able to win the UCL in the near future. This would certainly be in line with Mbappe hopes of moving to Madrid, because he saw that his chances of winning the UCL were one step better than PSG.

Any person is selfish, Mbappe looks like a mentally healthy person, so it is natural that he acts in his own interests and not in the interests of the sheikhs for whom PSG is a toy on which they spend their endless money.
The fact that PSG got rid of their star anchors and began to recruit “hard workers” was of course a positive sign, but it was already too late - Mbappe was ready to escape this summer. In any case, even PSG's victory in the Champions League does not change the fact that Ligue 1 is only the fifth league in Europe, with a large lag behind the first four.

Frenkie de Jong stays! Barcelona set to offer a new contract for Dutch midfielder:[1]
Frenkie de Jong, who was targeted by Manchester United in several transfer windows, is now close to renewing his contract with Barcelona.

I personally think that Frenkie de Jong is a very important player for Barcelona. And he needs to stay in Barcelona if Barcelona actually wants to perform well. Right now the squad of Barcelona is not the best. And Barcelona cannot afford to let these kind of players go. he is definitely one of the players who are actually holding the midfield of Barcelona in place. Raphinha just got injured. Even though I am not sure how serious the injury is, it was certainly something that Barcelona didn’t wish for. So right now, Barcelona will need the other players to step up.

Anyway, I think Barcelona should actually think about giving the players a little less money. That is definitely going to be helpful for them when it comes to the finances.

[FanEagle]

Son to Real Madrid doesn't really fix their players. Son is not a striker, they need someone like Mbappe to help them with scoring, but even if that's not the case, someone like Kane, Haaland, basically a superstar striker whose pure goal is to score goals basically, that's what they need. Son is still a wing man and maybe he scores a lot but Vini Jr. does the same thing as well, they are not going to succeed if they end up getting three good wingers and make one of them play the striker position.

Obviously he is a great player, but I bet that Spurs will want a lot for him, and they do not need him enough to pay that huge amount. They should look elsewhere to make sure they can get someone who can score a lot of goals for them.

If I'm not wrong, in the last season Barcelona wanted to sell Frenkie de Jong to Manchester United because they wanted to decrease the money they spent. Currently, De Jong gets the highest salary in Barcelona which was the main problem for Barcelona. But since De Jong is very interested in staying in Barcelona, he made this team change their mind with his hood performance. Now Barcelona wants to extend his contract until 2029. However, he agreed to decrease his salary.

But it seems Real Madrid wants to hire him in 2024 because they lost their hope about Mbappe and that's why Real Madrid wants to hire Son Heung-min as plan B.

I think for now Mbappe's hopes still remain but indeed seeing some rumors that are starting to be crowded Son is also being monitored to fill the void for Madrid's attack line but seeing from his condition Son is still not suitable if he is functioned as a pure striker because his position is more as a runner type on the side of the field but if Madrid really wants this player I think it's still very good because even though he is currently over 30 years old but Son's speed is still unquestionable.

That is something that Xavi has definitely done because seeing the current condition of Barcelona De Jong is one of the midfielders who can set the rhythm well and he is an attacking midfielder who is quite flexible because he can be placed on the right or left so it is quite natural that De Jong will become a new priority for Barcelona.
It looks like they realized their previous mistake by trying to get De Jong out, fortunately this drama is over and De Jong really proved that he deserves to be in Barcelona's midfield at this time.

No doubt with Frenkie de Jong loyal for Barcelona, last several years have rumored link with Manchester United but fail although he will get higher payment salary than Barcelona. Nice decision from Barcelona management for extending Frenkie de Jong contract and he will be longer there. Last several days, Barcelona announced they have success make profitable 300 million in this year and seems why management brave for extending Frenkie de Jong contract. Could make all players more motivate if Barcelona financial will be better in the future and there are not any new issues about payment salary cut off, depend with negotiation have reduce payment salary or not for Frenkie de Jong contract extending.

United where very unserious in getting De Jong,they weren't even able to come up with a better negotiation with Barcelona as they were short on their  asking price, if Manchester United had submitted a suitable offer maybe Barcelona would had considered giving them their player, however the  deal took very long and didn't bring up any positive results and at a point De Jong decided to reject any negotiation with Barcelona and decided to remain at Barcelona.

 However De Jong has become a very important player for the team, he's very loyal to the club and has impressed Xavi with his good performance, hence the plans to extend his contract for a very long period in the team, and to also put off Clubs that would come for his demand during the next summer transfer.

Heung-min Son is a very talented player that can play across the three positions in the attacking line perfectly and his known for his relentless efforts to even track back to help his teammates not like the regular attacking players that we have this days. Son has been used by Tottenham as a center forward this season and it has so far been working, with Tottenham in second position with just a point behind Manchester City, this is Due to the help by Son’s 6 goal contribution so far.

With Mbappe looking like someone settling in PSG already which will make it hard for Madrid to just sign him, so a back up plan is the best thing. But I don’t go with the idea of Son, he isn’t a natural striker like Madrid wanted, his pattern of attacking or striking is what Madrid have in other players. With the crises in Napoli I would say victor Osimhen is the perfect person my reason Madrid already have very good wingers then a striker that sticks more to the box and also offers them aerial advantage will be the best option and Osihmen fits the role perfectly than Son who I think would be easily bullied when it comes to aerial battles

De Jong was initially not included in Xavi Hernandez's squad project last season. It seems that Xavi trusts Sergio Buesquet and his two La Masia players more. but after they slipped in the Champions League, Xavi tried to implement a new system by pairing double pivots. In the end, Sergio Busque's weakness due to age could be overcome by De Jong's agility, which was still fresh and prime. Since then, Xavi has always made De Jong the main starter in his squad.

If we talk about clubs eyeing De Jong, there are several clubs interested in his services. apart from United who want him, because Ten Hag really knows his former students. Several other clubs have been linked, including Bayern Munich, who want to borrow him, as well as PSG and Liverpool. However, this Dutch player remains loyal to the club he loves even though his salary has been cut quite deeply. So, Barcelona should renew De Jong's contract, even though in his current contact De Jong will still be with Barcelona until 2026. As a La Braugrana supporter, I am very happy if this Dutch player is still willing to play with the Catalan team.

This is true and back up plans are good to have, but what is the probability that Mbappe does not go to Real Madrid? I can't believe that is a possibility. For the other attacking players Real Madrid has great players, but when you say that Son has a style or way of playing that Real Madrid has in other players, wouldn't say you say that Mbappe also prefers to play on the wing over playing as a center forward? I still agree that Mbappe is also better than Son and the better fit for the center forward position, but I like him the most when he plays the Vinicius Junior position.

Interesting news. First Son was rumoured with Bayern Munich right after they signed Kane. Maybe the reason was the solid relationship between Son and Kane at Tottenham. However this was just a rumour of course and it was refuted quickly. But maybe this rumour related to Real Madrid might be true.

Son might really be the alternative choice for Real Madrid depending on the result of their interest in Mbappe. First they will wait for Mbappe to make his final decision on his future. Real Madrid can even sign a contract with Mbappe in January as long as he wants but let's see.

If i am not mistaken last season De Jong didn't have much opportunity to gets minutes to play because he was lose to compete with Sergio Busquets for one place on midfield position and Manchester United want to utilized this situation by attempts to persuade him to leave Barcelona last summer especially Teh Hag know his skill because both of them has been cooperate together in Ajax but at that time Barcelona doesn't want to release him and seems Barcelona has been make good decision because De Jong performance was gradually better this season he even Xavi key player for midfield position now and with his impressive performance i think De Jong is deserved to gets contract extension

Son Heung-Min is a very fantastic forward players in the English Premier League and currently the best in the Tottenham Hotspur team after their former captain Harry Kane left the club to join Bayern Munich in the summer. He's been very influential to Tottenham's impressive run since the start of the season but I don't think he's a good candidate to join Real Madrid as a replacement for the club's for striker Karim Benzema.
At his age, Son I don't think Son will make a good signing for Real Madrid. They need a young striker that'll match the energy of the current members of Real Madrid squad.
