⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

Now Lionel Messi has denied the rumors circulating involving him with Barcelona. As we know, there are rumors that Barcelona wants Lionel Messi to return to the Blaugrana on loan from Inter Miami. But Lionel Messi feels he is having a good season with Inter Miami and he is very happy to be there. Lionel Messi also added that he wants to continue having a competitive season next season and wants to experience other extraordinary moments with Inter Miami.

I think with a statement like that it's quite clear that he won't be going anywhere even until February next year and he will stay at Inter Miami. I think Barcelona should give up and let Lionel Messi be happy with his new family at Inter Miami. Besides, what are they still looking for, will Barcelona, by being able to get a loan from Lionel Messi, be able to make money again and is that really their initial goal? What do you think?

Messi has no motives of retuning back to Barcelona they both have made history now it is time to face a new path.

Fati to Saudi Arabia should be seen as rumours it is not possible,  one of Europe finest players leaving at a young stage, its same thing too, a young player can leave from Saudi to Europe don't stop him from making decisions he thinks wise for himself.
He use to be the second most creative player after Messi, having injured a while he can not go back to old form immediately

If Bayern Munich really sells Choupo-Moting to the other teams and this player leaves Bayern Munich I think this can be a good option for any teams that need a good striker and they definitely will send an offer for Choupo-Moting.
We can't forget that in the last season, Byaern MUbich won many games just because of this player.

What is special with Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting? He is already 34 years old and he only made 1 goal from 7 appearances in the early of this season. I know he is just a substituted player in Bayern Munich, he rarely gets a chance to play. That probably makes him difficult to maintain good performance. However, there is no something really special with him so far, not sure top teams will be interested in him. The only special thing is that he has a cheap price (€5m), it is just a small money for a team that has big finance.

By the way, although Choupo-Moting contributed well in the last season, it can't guarantee that he will perform well again in this season. With his current perfromance, I doubt he will repeat his good performance in the last season.

Last season Bayern Munich had a striker crisis so Choupo moting became an option for bayern munich last season and he managed to show quite good performance last season. But this season choupo moting has to compete hard to get the main place after Bayern munich bought Harry kane. So the decline in choupo moting performance this season is none other than because he doesn't get many playing minutes.

I think that at 34 years old he will certainly be an attraction for other teams if he chooses to leave in the winter transfer window. Even with a cheap release clause, it will of course be easy for teams who are not financially strong to reach. This season, of course, he is not Tuchel's main choice, so we often see him sitting on the bench.

Fati to Saudi Arabia should be seen as rumours it is not possible,  one of Europe finest players leaving at a young stage, its same thing too, a young player can leave from Saudi to Europe don't stop him from making decisions he thinks wise for himself.
He use to be the second most creative player after Messi, having injured a while he can not go back to old form immediately

No comment has been coming from fati for sure. I don't know why people keep spread fake rumor about messi and barcelona. Can't people just let messi to play in MLS and never linked him to the barcelona?
It seems like that this rumor was coming from some fake news. I remember correctly when people called fati as a new messi but it's a very stupid thing to call fati as next messi. People were just realizing if fati is far from being another messi.
There will be no another messi to come. Messi is messi and no fake messi to appear based on what people called on.

Messi is staying at MLS till his contract end and that's it. That's the way messi was enjoying the end of his career and that's not a problem. Barcelona can have its sport for the young talents.
The club really needs to develop the young talented players as well without always relying upoin the senior player like messi.

that's whay im thinking about messi this time. No more fake rumor linked him to the a club.

It's worth mentioning that Ronaldo also said that his son has poor discipline, that it could prevent him from becoming a professional footballer. Maybe it's just because he's still a kid and then as he gets older he'll take it more seriously, so it's too early to tell if he'll have a career or not

Ronaldo stated it to his son because he has a big expectation for the future of his son. He reminds his son that it is not easy to be a success professional footballer, his son must be discipline if he wants to succeed. I think Ronaldo already gave a big lesson to his son, it will be something that his son must always remember in the future.

Anyway, I think it is no problem to tell about discipline very early. His son is already a teenager, it is important to discipline since he was a kid. Discipline will be hard to do if we never make it as our habit.

Messi has no motives of retuning back to Barcelona they both have made history now it is time to face a new path.

How do you know he has no motivation/intention to return to Barcelona?
He may have the intention to return to Barcelona but it is impossible because Barcelona is in the bad financial situation. Barcelona also probably focus on building their squad with young players, so they don't need Messi anymore.

Fati to Saudi Arabia should be seen as rumours it is not possible,  one of Europe finest players leaving at a young stage, its same thing too, a young player can leave from Saudi to Europe don't stop him from making decisions he thinks wise for himself.

Why Fati should go to Saudi league? I think he still has a long career, he must play in competitive leagues if he wants to develop his quality. I agree that it is unlikely that he will go to Saudi league. There are many European teams that want to sign him. He doesn't need to leave Europe.

Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting has had good scores last season and when he was brought on, he often used his chance and scored a goal. But the fundamental difference was that Bayern Munich didn't have a real striker last season and they were desperately trying to find a solution that consisted of some variations of their pool of offensive players. But now that they have Harry Kane this problem has been solved once and for all and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting only chance to get more minutes on the pitch would be when Harry Kane gets an injury. For as long as that doesn't happen, I don't think Tuchel considers Choupo-Moting except for games when Kane is given a break.

Chopo Mouting is one of the players who can be used as an attacking option if there is no striker at Bayern but his ideal position remains at the winger which will eventually be the same as Mane who will slowly leave because he will find it difficult to get a regular place when Tuchel and several previous coaches very rarely do a 4-3-3 scheme for Bayern because they prefer 1 striker and flanked by 5 midfielders who are characteristic of the Bayern club.

Now with the formation of 1 striker and Kane already there then surely he is the choice that makes Chopo Mouting aside.
This is also actually good because if he imposes on Bayern this actually becomes one of the obstacles especially last season his performance was very good.

[QueenVera]

Last season Bayern Munich had a striker crisis so Choupo moting became an option for bayern munich last season and he managed to show quite good performance last season. But this season choupo moting has to compete hard to get the main place after Bayern munich bought Harry kane. So the decline in choupo moting performance this season is none other than because he doesn't get many playing minutes.

I think that at 34 years old he will certainly be an attraction for other teams if he chooses to leave in the winter transfer window. Even with a cheap release clause, it will of course be easy for teams who are not financially strong to reach. This season, of course, he is not Tuchel's main choice, so we often see him sitting on the bench.

Bayern Munich couldn't cope with Choupo Moting, he's a brilliant player no doubt but he wasn't enough and Bayern really needed a very good finisher that could score every week and that's why the decided to go for Harry Kane and since they signed him he's been very impressive and has scored about 9 goals in 8 matches with 4 assists, that's a very brilliant performance so far for a player who only joined this summer, Harry Kane was quick to adapt to his new environment he's really impressed the board.

 Well there's no way Tuchel would be playing Choupo moting over Harry Kane who's now Bayern's star player, kane is a better finisher than Choupo moting and he's marked his spot therefore it might take a while  for any of his teammates take his position especially Choupo moting who could only gets playing time only when kane has injury.

I won’t be surprised if Barcelona may be behind these rumors if any. I bet they probably miss him and would just love for him to come back to play for them while he’s still actively playing football.
But I doubt we’ll be seeing Messi play in a Barcelona jersey again. He has had an amazing time at Barcelona and should now be left to continue his career wherever he chooses.

He seems happy playing at Inter Miami and has indicated he intend to remain playing there. Barcelona should look elsewhere as I don’t think he would even consider returning to play for the club.

That is true and very natural if Brighton extends the contract until 2027.
And now Manchester United, Manchester City and Barcelona have to accept the fact that there has been failure in the intentions of these three teams who wanted to bring Kaoru Mitoma into their squad.
But this extension could also be way for Brighton to set higher price for Kaoru Mitoma if someone wants it.

This season he only has 3 goals and 3 assists in 9 matches so if there is no progress until the transfer window opens perhaps Brighton will have the opportunity to sell him at the highest possible price.
Even though Kaoru Mitoma is very important for Brighton when he is but given off big offer Brighton will definitely consider him.

He is performing pretty well. And we have to remember that he is only 26 years old. That means he is going to have a lot to offer to the team. He has also contributed to goals. I can see he has played nine matches so far and his performance was really good in those matches. I absolutely understand and support the contract extension from Brighton. Brighton had been performing pretty well in this season. Even though the recent performance has not been the best I think they will need him to be in the club for being able to perform well consistently.

Maybe because Brighton is also not in good condition as can be seen they still have to think about finances to find quality young players.
From what Brighton has done by extending the contract it will also save more money because they don't need to spend money on transfer fees but again as I said it could be that when the transfer window opens they will sell Mitoma and look for replacement using the money from the sale.

Brighton interest in retaining Mitoma is because they don't have any other players in the squad they can rely on.
And try to examine all the players that Brighton has none of them really seem to shine with great skills like the top players that every other team has.

Moreover if he continues to stay with Brighton, I not sure Mitoma will be able to get any titles or awards.

Messi has no motives of retuning back to Barcelona they both have made history now it is time to face a new path.

Fati to Saudi Arabia should be seen as rumours it is not possible,  one of Europe finest players leaving at a young stage, its same thing too, a young player can leave from Saudi to Europe don't stop him from making decisions he thinks wise for himself.
He use to be the second most creative player after Messi, having injured a while he can not go back to old form immediately

In fact, it is no longer the reason that he is comfortable with Inter Miami, etc. But because he owns several percent of Inter Miami shares. So it makes more sense to stay with that club. Moreover, returning to Barcelona will not be the same as before, it will only increase the burden. I agree more with Messi's decision, at his current age he is suitable to prioritize retirement and being with Inter Miami is the right end to his journey. It is important to remember that the current Barcelona clearly cannot be considered Messi's home and whatever the reason, the Barcelona era will not be able to happen again with Messi.

For Ansu Fati, there is still a long way to go, he must play a bigger role in Europe. In my opinion, the decision to go to Saudi Arabia is too early and there he will not be able to get a place like other European seniors. Europe is an opportunity that Ansu Fati will not be able to get again in the future. Productive age will be a benchmark for interest from big clubs and his ability is still very reliable.

I'm not sure how much a team should spend for a palyer like Jesse Lingard but it seems this palyer is expensive even for the Saudi teams and they don't want to spend too much money for this palyer.
Jesse Lingard was recently playing for Manchester United, Nottingham Forest, and West Ham but he had poor performance after 2021 and he scored only two goals in the 20 games.



https://talksport.com/football/1609868/jesse-lingard-al-ettifaq-transfer-man-utd/

It's a shame that Jesse Lingard used to be a promising player and since he had a bad season at several EPL clubs, every year his quality has started to decline. I heard news that the deal with Al-Ettifaq failed because Jesse Lingard wanted a big salary and he rejected the offer made by Al-Ettifaq. I think anyone would want a big salary in the Saudi league, especially now that it has become a trend for European players, but Jesse Lingard also has to realize that if he wants a big salary, it must be commensurate with the quality he provides.

Saudi league teams are not only chasing famous players but they are also competing and I think Al-Ettifaq's decision is very reasonable to offer according to the qualities that Jesse Lingard has. If he doesn't go to the Saudi league then he will be back home without a job and that would be a shame for his career.

[Strongkored]

Moreover if he continues to stay with Brighton, I not sure Mitoma will be able to get any titles or awards.

A good player needs a good club to be able to win titles, and I quite agree with you that if he stays at Brighton he will have difficulty getting titles and my prediction is that the best title that Brighton can get is only a domestic title like the FA Cup, because it seems that currently in the European League Brighton is not showing anything impressive enough.
But he has decided to extend his contract at Brighton of course with good considerations and he still has the opportunity to move if there is a club that is willing to buy him at the price set by Brighton because it seems that Brighton is also a club that funds its club by selling potential players, it is proven that they sell several players targeted by other clubs at high prices.
I think he might still play for another club and one of them is Manchester United because United is one of the clubs that is willing to buy players at high prices, maybe the appropriate price for Mitoma is above 50 million euros.

Real Madrid are considering a move for Manchester City striker Julian Alvarez:
Real Madrid are considering a move for Manchester City striker Carlo Ancelotti to their La Liga side, according to reports in the player's home country.
Real Madrid have started with eight in nine league games as they look to reclaim the trophy that was recently abandoned by Barcelona.
New claims suggest Ancelotti and his backroom staff are considering moves for key players who could shake up Pep Guardiola's Premier League run.
Julian Alvarez has shown his best performance in Manchester. He scored 3 goals and provided 4 assists.
By making his best performance, Real Madrid has also snapped a World Cup-winning attacking midfielder from Transfermarkt for £80m (£70m).
Alvarez is under contract at Manchester City until June 2028, and without a release clause in his contract, Julian Alvarez could move to Spain for Real Madrid.
Source

Never would Pep Guardiola let him leave Manchester City. If i got this right he has a contract until 2026 and he signed a 6-year contract probably with the intention to stay there for a long time. He either scores or assists almost every game and not it became crystal clear how lucky Pep Guardiola was that Alvarez is developing so well during the absence of De Bruyne. I don't know what would have to happen in order for Manchester City to agree to a deal with Real Madrid and transfer him to Spain. Manchester City doesn't need money and the contract is running for so many years, how does Real Madrid intend to convince Manchester City?

Julian Alvarez has been getting so many playing time this season at Manchester City more than he managed to get at this stage last season. His increased number of games is as a result of the fact that Kelvin De Bruyne has been out injured.
Though Julian Alvarez looks very happy with his current club Manchester City but there are chances that he might consider a switch to the Santiago Bernabeu if the right offer comes from the European giants.

The chance and offers from Real Madrid do not always come more than once. Even though he has been the player to open up spaces for Erling Haaland he has scored good number of goals regardless for Manchester City.
He should be happy off course, I would be too, working with the best manager in the world and winning the treble in his very first season with Manchester City.

If I was Julian Alvarez or his guardian, he has won everything in the Premier and Real Madrid offers to buy me? Man! I'm leaving for the biggest club in the world. No way possible am I not considering that offer. Hehe.

There's nothing wrong with it. Lindegard is only willing to continue his career in the right club that was still valuing him as a professional footballer. Lingard has its best performance in united but this time it's kinda different.
Lindegard really needs to have a new job that can give him good salary and that's why he was agreeing to join in ettifaq. This club is still being managed by gerrard and im not feeling doubt ettifaq was doing this caused by the club is always struggling in the saudi pro league. Im not even surprised to see that lindegard to accept it without even thinking for twice. he will be also playing with so many great players in saudi pro league.

There's nothing wrong to see him to chase his target. Lindard has also ever become a great player in EPL. It's time for lindegard to open a new journey in saudi pro league. Best of luck for him.
Im willing to see lindegard to play again with ettifaq. The main problem is now if ettifaq shall try to sign a new coach to handle the club

I don't see any reason for Nottingham Forrest need to keep Lingard, they should accept any amount that other club has interest want to sign him. His contract is near to end and they might get nothing since Lingard will become a free agent.

I think Al Ettifaq only want Lingard popularity, that's why they interested with him.

[Smack That Ace]

It is clear that having such a father will be easier for him to move up the career ladder, but only up to a certain point, forever he will not be able to promote him, especially if he does not realise himself as a footballer, so you can end up without starting a career

The question whether the son wants to be a football doesn't really arise I think. Not that he would be forced to by his father, but from what I can see and what Ronaldo talks about him, It is quite obvious that his plan is to pursue a career as a professional football. It also makes sense, doesn't it? If your whole life is about football due to the career of your father and you are also talented and deep in love with football, it is almost inevitable that you give it a try and see how far you can get. But it is true that having a father like Ronaldo is not enough to become and also remain a professional footballer for a long time. I assume he would probably want to be a striker as well and then it's quite simple to see whether he stands the test or not. He either scores a lot of goals or he doesn't.

It's worth mentioning that Ronaldo also said that his son has poor discipline, that it could prevent him from becoming a professional footballer. Maybe it's just because he's still a kid and then as he gets older he'll take it more seriously, so it's too early to tell if he'll have a career or not

Well at this point, I think everyone knows that Cristiano Junior is going to be a footballer. Just like his father. There is no doubt about that at this point. Cristiano Ronaldo also make sure that he (Cristiano Junior) does not put anything in his body that is not good. Like Coca-Cola, Pepsi, etc. It looks like he is trying to make his son as disciplined as him. And I have seen some clips where he is running through the defense of the opponent. So I also believe he is going to be a striker. But at the same time I believe this kid is going to be under pressure because after all he is the kid of a player who is the best in the world. So the expectation is going to be a lot.

Saudi Arabia teams are collecting famous players regardless of their ages but also talented players and those who could still help them achieve their goals on winning domestic and international titles.
El-Ettifaq don't have many good and shining names like the other top teams in Saudi Pro League. Their defeat vs Al-Riyadh prove that they need to consolidate more their squad. Jesse Lingard would be a good choice if they could help them being more stable.

SPL clubs that are funded directly by the Public Investment Fund (PIF) will not have to worry about the budget that must be spent to recruit Jesse Lingard. They have abundant funds to make transfers which sometimes seem unreasonable. They want to build the SPL instantly, and whether the players are good or not is not a big issue, what is important at the moment is the players big names.

Regarding Al Ettifaq, they have fewer former European players than other SPL clubs, Jordan Henderson is not enough to help Steven Gerrard squad navigate the increasingly competitive competition at the moment. In the next transfer market, I think they will return to hunt for more players, of course from the top five European leagues.

There are speculations such as Lionel Messi can sign a loan contract with Barcelona in January. But it looks like Messi has refuted those news about him. I wouldn't have expected him to leave MLS right now either because it doesn't make sense at all. It hasn't been much time since he joined Inter Miami and he is making a lot of money there.

I can only give some probability to Messi's playing for Barcelona a little more before his retirement. But it is hard to predict when he would like to do that. He is 36 years old for now and maybe he would like to play for a few more years.

[slapper]

Now Lionel Messi has denied the rumors circulating involving him with Barcelona. As we know, there are rumors that Barcelona wants Lionel Messi to return to the Blaugrana on loan from Inter Miami. But Lionel Messi feels he is having a good season with Inter Miami and he is very happy to be there. Lionel Messi also added that he wants to continue having a competitive season next season and wants to experience other extraordinary moments with Inter Miami.

I think with a statement like that it's quite clear that he won't be going anywhere even until February next year and he will stay at Inter Miami. I think Barcelona should give up and let Lionel Messi be happy with his new family at Inter Miami. Besides, what are they still looking for, will Barcelona, by being able to get a loan from Lionel Messi, be able to make money again and is that really their initial goal? What do you think?

Source: https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1716151482054001011

Honestly, I feel Barcelona's current stance seems more like a desperate attempt to reclaim some of their past glory. Remember, Messi left during turbulent times for the club. They still owe him money, roughly 50M euro, from back when the club faced financial troubles. Why would Messi want to go back?

I've watched Inter Miami flourish with Messi's presence. The man has brought in more than just his football skills; he's escalated the club's brand value, ticket sales, and jersey demand. Imagine being Inter Miami and hearing these rumors? After everything they've invested and achieved with Messi, Barcelona expects a loan? I firmly believe Messi has found his new home in Inter Miami. I respect Messi's decision and believe he's made the right choice for himself. Barcelona needs to move forward, not cling to their past

[Luzin]

Saudi Arabia teams are collecting famous players regardless of their ages but also talented players and those who could still help them achieve their goals on winning domestic and international titles.

Is it purely for the sake of it? clubs that buy star players are teams in one PIF industry. I think they have a mission beyond that. They are on a mission to turn around the oil business that may soon run out. In addition, it seems that they are trying to host the 2034 world cup. They are trying to attract football fans to divert the football center that has been focused on Europe
