⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Helena Yu]

David De Gea and Kepa Arrizabalaga are among the top goalkeepers who make clubs spend the most money for each successful save in the Premier League. De Gea, once the highest-paid goalkeeper in the Premier League, is something other goalkeepers cannot touch. At that time, Kepa was not rated higher than De Gea. But last season, De Gea lost form with silly mistakes on the field, forcing MU to replace goalkeeper Onana. Compared to current achievements, of course, Kepa has surpassed De Gea. Real Madrid's choice of Kepa for today's El Clasico match is entirely reasonable. Kepa has kept 5 clean sheets in all competitions for Los Blancos.

Goalkeepers are underrated position, many people not notice how good are those goalkeepers. When they've save multiple shots, people will think the goalkeepers are just complete their jobs without doing extra thing. But when those expensive goalkeepers are replaced with the cheap ones, people are complain to bring back the old goalkeepers.

If this transfer actually happens, I believe Chelsea would be overspending. £87 million for Gavi seems pretty steep; I'd say a more reasonable figure would be around £50-60 million for him.

They're Chelsea, they don't mind to overspending just like they spent £85 Millions for a £1 Million quality player aka Mudryk.

Douglas Costa offered himself to Juventus to be back.

If Juventus wants him he will come back as a free agent.

If i am not mistaken Douglas Costa is part of Juventus squad when Juventus won the title for 9 consecutive times and he was playing from 2018-2020 with this team but after that Douglas Costa has decide moved to Bayern Munich as loan status and now he was LA Galaxy player and his dreaming return to Juventus because Costa was admitting he was Juventus fans and if Juventus are willing to used his service again then he will gladly moved to Juventus and currently Costa as LA Galaxy player and at LA Galaxy Costa has a contract until december this year and if LA Galaxy not decide to extended his contract probably on December Costa status as free agent

Chelsea have shown an interest in signing Barcelona midfielder Gavi for £87 million:
Chelsea, have expressed an interest in signing midfielder Gavi, whom Barcelona could sell for £87 million to ease their financial woes. Gavi is one of the youngest players at Barcelona, and he makes a playing space in one of the best clubs in modern football, which is Barcelona. In which it could be difficult for a young player to take a regular place for X11. By selling Gavi for £87 million, Barcelona wanted to ease their financial troubles.
I think it is not fair for Barcelona to sell him for financial troubles. Because he is a very talented and creative young midfielder. While it would be very good for Chelsea to sign him with a low transfer fee given his expected young age, It will not be a good step for Barcelona to sell him because he is educated in La Masia and purely set for the tactics of Barcelona. Any way, it will be good for Barcelona to sell him to financial critics or not. What did you think, guys? Give us your thoughts.

Barcelona has quite a lot of young players and one of them is Gavi he is a midfielder aged 19 years and Gavi is also a player from the Spanish national team.
If you look at his playing statistics it doesn't look very good even in 10 La Liga matches with Barcelona he was only able to provide one goal with one assist.
Maybe this is the reason Xavi doesn't need him and decides to sell in the next January transfer window.

I don't know what Pochettino was thinking that he wanted to bring in this player from Spain because with Barcelona which is big team with high quality they don't play well especially with Chelsea I not sure Gavi will develop there.

£87 million is quite large nominal amount and if Gavi is successfully brought in by Chelsea and does not develop, it will only result in big financial losses for the Chelsea squad.

Moreover, recently the Juventus Instagram account has often posted videos about Douglas Costa's appearance when wearing the La Vechia Signora uniform and this increasingly indicates his move to Juventus. I think it will be very good for Douglas Costa's career, at least he will still have good performance in European competitions.

Disregard news and informations like this, they should be seen as complete rumors and will never be actualized. Gavi Is a Barcelona bound player and will never leave Barcelona for Chelsea!
There are player's to be sold off for financial challenges and Gavinis not amongst one of em. Frankie De Jong would be the first name that comes to mind honestly. He is a vital player for catalians but he will fetch em.good money of he is to be sold.

Chelsea already have brought in good names in midfied who can do the job for Chelsea, they don't need Gavi. His job for Barcelona is not completely done.

You are right, Gavi will not be let go by Barcelona because he is one of the club's long-term future assets. This season he has always been Xavi mainstay in every match and I'm sure Xavi will not sell his favorite player. Apart from that, it is also reported that Frankie De Jong will renew his contract in January, which will close the door for other teams wanting to recruit him. Chelsea really needs a more productive striker to be able to score more goals and help the team win in every match.

For this reason, this news is still just a rumor and I'm sure Gavi also doesn't want to leave Barcelona too quickly because he is so comfortable with Barcelona. Chelsea can look for another sticker if they need it but we'll see because Barcelona haven't recovered financially so anything could happen in the January transfer window.

I also have the same thoughts on this, Gavi is a talented young player that Barcelona have at the moment and he is a future asset for them, I don't think they will let go of this one player. Regarding Frenki de Jong, actually from last season he was a player rumored to be sold by Barcelona, but in fact they kept him, and it also cannot be denied that he made a big contribution to Barcelona, and if they sold him there was no guarantee they would get a worthy replacement. This is just a rumor and from what Barcelona have shown so far, it is likely that the players we are talking about will remain in the Barcelona squad.

Only if barcelona will not let him go for 50 - 60 millions. In fact that if we don't even know what exact amount that has become his price tag. I remember that if gavi has a very big clause release after barcelona has extended his contract.

Look at this https://www.forbes.com/sites/tomsanderson/2023/01/31/fc-barcelona-failure-to-register-gavi-contract-today-will-reduce-release-clause-to-zero/?sh=771b16d96905

Barcelona has been putting 1 billions release clause for him. It can be activated but i doubt that if chelsea will be willing to pay such amount for him. It's impossible and i think the chance for him to go out from the club is pretty small though.
It's caused by barcelona would be putting very big clause release for him. I can imagine that if barcelona may also ask at least 200 millions for him.

I think that this is impossible to happen with gavi. Gavi may stay much longer but barcelona in the need of fresh money as well.

It seems like it would be a good thing for Juventus if Douglas Costa is interested in returning to the Juventus club when his contract expires and can be a free transfer so that Juventus doesn't spend a lot of money to bring back their old player.

I thinks if Douglas Costa joins it will make the Juventus club stronger to be able to win the title again with Douglas Costa and what is clear is that Douglas Costa has enough experience and he has previously joined Juventus for a long time. I think Douglas still has a close relationship between the players until now Douglas Costa is up to the point where he wants to return, but currently Juventus has a strong squad and seeing that Douglas Costa is already 33 years old, I think if he returns to Juventus, I am a little doubtful that he will be able to play full time at the Juventus club, but there is nothing wrong with if that Juventus need his services again considering that he has contribution to the club before.

Is this a sign that Juventus will return to its glory days? that could happen.
I know Douglas Costa has made a very good contribution to Juventus in the past and with the return of this player it could make Juventus more confident because there are players who already have good experience at Juventus and this rumor I will agree if Allegri immediately brings this player in next January because Juventus performance is almost perfect and bringing in Douglas Costa will make Juventus performance much more perfect to compete in Serie A.

Douglas Costa is a pacy, quick and intelligent ... he was part of the squad that won back to back league competition for Juventus few years back. I appreciate he is a great lad and knows the systems of the Juventus also having close relationship with Allergri but moving back to Juventus? No!

Juventus should take a good look at his age,he won't be able to play for the next ten to fifteen years, so why offer such a player contract when you can build around younger talented player's.

Juventus are having a good season and they are in third place in the standings at the moment, the presence or absence of Douglas Costa will not affect Juventus' performance because currently they have several great players in that position. Douglas Costa does have quality in sending the ball, his speed and crossing ability are not in doubt and Douglas Costa has also made several big contributions while playing with Juventus so that they managed to win consecutive Scudetto titles at that time.

Now that he is no longer young and many other players have developed at Juventus, the presence of Douglas Costa might provide some change. But I don't think he will give a big chance like the glory days when he played for Juventus because the performances of other teams are also very convincing now, such as Inter Milan and AC Milan.

I doubt with Juventus decision return to contract Douglas Costa because he was not on the top competition level before when playing with LA Galaxy as Major League Soccer teams. Actually, his performance in MLS League not really impressive well with 19 games played he only scored 3 goals and I have big question with Juventus decision want to sign him. Although he will not get first place with Juventus but its not good choose looking on Douglas Costa performance and his competition not more competitive such as with European teams.
I think Major League Soccer is competition for players who retired and looks Douglas Costa want to proof his level still on the top perform by rejoining with Juventus, waiting with his contribution for Juventus and his possibility will available register soon or waiting on second half season.

I see no reason why Juventus would be going back to their former players, they did same thing with Paul Pogba and it didn't yield any good results rather they ended up spending more money for his treatments until he landed himself in a mess and got banned for a long while, now they want to repeat Same thing with Douglas Costa that's a shadow of what he used to be while he was at the club.

 They should be going after younger and talented players that would last them for long term and not some player that's would only last a year or so, Douglas Costa is 33 years and cannot create more impact on Juventus success like he uses to while he was much younger, I think they're making a mistake and they need to call odd the deal before it gets too late, cause I don't see what Costa could offer Juventus.

Douglas Costa right from his Shakhtar Donetsk days was regarded as one of the best young wingers who would definitely grow to become legends of the beautiful round leather game. But that actually didn't happen as his spell with Juventus and Bayern Munich didn't produce the kind of results football fans had wanted from the Brazilian.
I've not been hearing about him since he moved to MLS side LA Galaxy but I hope his return to European football ends well for him. Juventus who has lost some of their important players to injury and ban will be a nice place for Costa to rekindle his football career again.

I think as long as the players still have the passion to return to European competition and are able to prove it, it's not a problem. We can take the example of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, he left Manchester United in 2018 to join LA Galaxy and during those 2 years in MLS, he finally decided to return to European competition and his choice fell on one of his former clubs, namely Milan in 2020 Then. Until finally Zlatan Ibrahimovic decided to retire at the end of last season at Milan.

This was quite unexpected and it is possible that Douglas Costa will follow in Zlatan Ibrahimovic's footsteps and retire at Juventus. Being a back-up player is certainly not a big problem for Douglas Costa because he just wants to play football and also help his former team recover. So yes, Juventus' decision to sign him was the right one and they didn't need to spend any money in signing him later considering his free agent status.

Barcleona will never ever let gavi goes to the chelsea and gavi was also unwilling to degrade his career. chelsea was not as good as what it used to be. The golden era of chelsea has been passed and this club is a mediocre team this time.
It's also placing at the bottom stable which makes gavi feel so bad to leave from barcelona and join in the chelsea as a new player. It will not happen. Gavi will never try to degrade his career. Playing for chelsea is just another disaster for his career and im sure that he will not even have small interest in going there. Chelsea requires a superior coach to enhance the club. Pochettino's approach differs from the previous coach who brought Chelsea success.

Pochettino didn't even know so well about how to handle this club. There's no playmaker in the club. Chelsea played so garbage against brentford. Chelsea may lose in this game. A horrible performance from chelsea is more than enough to said no for chelsea.
Gavi is now in a better team than chelsea and why shall he go there? Gavi was just destroying his career if he will accept an offer from chelsea.

Gavi loves barcelona and he will not leave from there till the club will be kicking him from the club. Chelsea better finds another target.

Meanwhile, Barcelona not only has bad finances but also lacks young players because almost all of Barcelona players are over 20 years old, except for Lamine Yamal, who just as young as Gavi and young players like this are a very good future investment for Barca so makes sense that Xavi will definitely hold back Gavi departure so that he not signed by another club before making a very big contribution and Xavi wants to train his talent to be of higher quality so that the price will be very expensive and in this way can help restore Barcelona finances.

It all depends on the term of the contract and what the release clause is, what seems expensive now may be very cheap in a couple of years. Gavi is very young and he will improve so it might even be cheap right now. If you are talking about compliance with ffp, then Chelsea has a whole crowd of players and they will sell someone to maintain the balance in the required indicators, and we all know that top clubs always avoid punishment for such violations.

It's fair enough. Barcelona got what they wanted and chelsea too. Chelsea paid a lot of money for him to to the barcelona and then barcelona got huge sum amounts of money as the return. It's a win win solution. Barcelona shall not expect to get good amounts of money if the club was not willing to sell its stars. There's no club that was willing to buy some garbage players like fati or ferran. The blaufrana can't force its buyers to buy the available players to be sold. Chelsea was aiming for the specific players to be recruited which is good.

I would like to see what's going to be barcelona's response regarding this rumor. I think that barcelona may also change its mind regarding it. Barcelona is in a very difficult situation this time. The club really needs money caused by it must have paid its responsibilities caused by barcelona still owe a lot of money from other clubs. Barcelona is very close to the date to pay its debts to other clubs. Barcelona still owe some money from buying its players like lewandowski.

That's why barcelona needs to sell some players to cover it. I see no reason for barcelona to keep gavi even longer. The club in the needs of money.

First of all, I do not think Barcelona should be interested in selling him. Because he is an important player for Barcelona. He can provide a lot of value to Barcelona. And that value is definitely going to be more than 87 million euros. If Barcelona is actually interested in selling him, I will say that they should sell him for a lot more than what Chelsea is offering them. They have to at least get more than €110 million. Otherwise Barcelona should keep him because he's going to give them a lot of value going forward. if they sell him, they will have to eventually buy another player. That is not going to be a good financial decision.

[Pokapoka124]

Real Madrid is considering making Kepa permanent from Chelsea and Real Madrid will make its final decision when the season ends. As we know, Kepa was brought in from Chelsea on loan for 1 season and that made Kepa very happy because he no longer felt like he was at Chelsea with a performance that was far from what was expected. At Real Madrid, Kepa always starts and as a substitute for Courtois who is absent due to injury, his performance is always impressive in guarding Real Madrid's goal. Maybe with all the considerations and also good statistics, in the end Real Madrid is very interested in making him permanent and that will certainly make Kepa very happy because he really loves Real Madrid and doesn't want to go back to Chelsea.

What do you think? Does Kepa deserve a place at Real Madrid with his performances so far?

I think this is a good decision for the club to make since that Courtois is out injured and Kepa has been impressive in his absence it wouldn’t be a bad idea to have both goal keepers in the team. One substituting the other and sharing game time. This should lessen the workload and the pressure on Courtois who had to play almost every game for Real Madrid.

This is just the fact and Chelsea will be in for taking a very big risk if they decide to sign Gavi for this big amount despite his stats with Barcelona which has not being that compelling as a midfielder. If Barcelona is sending him away, you should understand that he’s not that useful to them and have better options than him to replace him. He is still an average player to me and Chelsea needs a player that is above average level and can always change the game when they most needed him in every match.

Just like Gavi, Joao Felix has not been productive when he was playing at Chelsea, and Atletico Madrid’s Coach; Diego Simeone was not having him in his plans for the season and he was loaned out to Barcelona. Today, if you look at the stats and how Joao Felix have been performing, you won’t want to have him leave your team by all means. Gavi could be the same when he joins a new team. Some players play better when they join a new team and Gavi could do better when he leaves Barcelona to join another team. I am not looking down at this player and I have hopes in him that he’ll improve with time.
