⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[TelolettOm]

Kepa is not a bad choice so far he's Kept Realmadrid going and I think Ancelotti did an all round check before he decided to loan him as a temporary option, though i thought he was going to pick David Degea since he was cheaper and they could get him on a free transfer but he decided to go for Kepa,I feel Degea's age might be the reason and maybe they signed Kepa to  test his ability and probably sign him permanently if he's good enough.

We can see whether Kepa is a good or bad choice in the El Clasico today. Real Madrid will play against Barcelona today, Kepa must prove that he deserves to sign permanently in Real Madrid. If he can perform well today, I'm sure Real Madrid management will consider to sign him permanently. But if he plays badly, I'm not sure Real Madrid will sign him permanently.

If we compare Kepa and De Gea, I personally think Kepa is much better. Kepa is younger (29) and he looks to have a better fitness. Meanwhile De Gea is already 32 years old and looks more vulnerable for a potential injury. But if we consider the ability, I think both De Gea and Kepa have the same level of ability.

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.

Barcelona are looking for a way to boost their squad by bringing in good talents that would help the current ones strengthen the team just like their rival Realmadrid has done this summer however letting on of their talented youngsters leave is not an option for them currently cause he's like the future of Barcelona, therefore they put a very huge amount of money in his release clause to scare away other clubs that might want to demand for him making it almost impossible for him to leave.

 Well it would come as a shock if Gavi would want to leave one of the biggest club in the world with a good history and many trophies to Chelsea that are not in the Champions league and might not even qualify for the Champions League, even though Barcelona are not very strong financially I doubt if they'll want to let Gavi leave the team.

Meanwhile De Gea is already 32 years old and looks more vulnerable for a potential injury. But if we consider the ability, I think both De Gea and Kepa have the same level of ability.

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.
Kepa seemed extremely happy. He affirmed that this is his long-standing dream and wants to continue playing for the Bernabeu team for a long time. However, the final decision on signing a long-term contract will be made by Los Blancos based on the 29-year-old goalkeeper's performance from now until the end of the season.

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.

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.

If he left Manchester United because he didn't want to be second choice then why would he want to come back just to be second choice? I think David deGea and Ten Hag will stick to their guns and Ten Hag will not recruit him, we see he is a coach who is quite consistent with his choices, and I agree that David deGea and Onana are good goalkeepers who of course also have weaknesses, what happened to Onana at Manchester United was not only his fault but because of the condition of the team who is not very consistent and when United finds his best form again, quite sure that Onana will be admired as a reliable goalkeeper. The club's choice of him is not a wrong thing, and it is only a matter of time.

Well De Gea didn't purposely leave Manchester United at his own will, left for him he would had stayed and accepted to be receiving a pay cut but the coach didn't include him in his plans this season and needed a keeper that suit his pattern and could play well from the build up, that's why he got Onana however since Eric Ten Hag has already made his decision the board refused to sign a new contract with De gea then he had to leave when his contract expired.

 Well I think it's the love of the club that could make De Gea want to return to Manchester United, however United really need a good keeper that would replace Onana while he's away for international duty and De Gea is the right man for that role cause he's very good at shot stopping and would really help Manchester United to get to the top like he did last summer.

Really? Lol, Love Yeah! How did it go down for Cristiano Ronaldo with his return to Manchester United? David De Gea should learn from the mistakes of Cristiano Ronaldo, he shouldn't consider it even in the slightest way of returning to Manchester United.
Onana doing a good job for United so far, they just need the right partnership  of defenders at the heart of the defense. Manchester United and Erik Ten Hag shouldn't have snoozed when the chance of signing Benjamin Pavard came up.

I'd even love to see David De Gea moving to Saudi Arabia Premier League. That won't be happening, for of he wanted that, negotiations for that would have started already. A top big man like De Gea deserves respect. Manchester United and Erik Ten Hag deprived him that! Disrespectful!

Honestly, I don't think he's going to come back to Manchester United. After all, it was pretty disrespectful what happened to him.  He was really not that bad, but Manchester United did not give a damn about that. Manchester United knew that the defense was a problem.  However  they decided to get rid of the goalkeeper just because they were conceding a lot of goals.  It will be a very dumb decision taken by De Gea to come back to Manchester United because I believe he is not going to get a good welcome in this club anymore. But at the same time, he will also have to think about not being pursued by other big clubs as well. So maybe, to save his career, he probably should join Manchester United.

[Ayers]

Not half if the season and Kepa has been a very good goalkeeper for Real Madrid,  I still think over who would not want him to extend his contract for Real Madrid.
Most of his teammates that won the Champions league together with Chelsea have all left the club. The management of Chelsea should do same with kepa.
With Madrid you feel at home even when pressured,  the pressure from the Premier League is wildfires. You need a strong mental health to be able to cope with that. Real Madrid  should make haste he has been good in goal for them.

Actually, Kepa Arrizabalaga was prepared to replace Thibaut Courtois who was injured until the end of the season, but Kepa's good performance means he has the opportunity to become the main choice for Real Madrid next season by signing him permanently. Although in clause contract there are not option for permanent contract but depend with Real Madrid have big offer or not for releasing transfer fees from Kepa Arrizabalaga. Its looks excited with Real Madrid main goal keeper position if there are have option between Kepa Arrizabalaga and Thibaut Courtois are both players with impressive performance.

I think if Chelsea as huge transfer fees and Thibaut Courtois good recovery process better keep him and not give permanent contract for Kepa due Madrid have good goal keeper with Courtois.

Madrid needs also prepared a backup for curtois. curtois is also going even older and madrid may also think to search for his alternative once curtois will not be good anymore as a goal keeper. There's nothing wrong from real madrid's intention to buy kepa as a permanent transfer. Madrid was really trusting chelsea in getting a good goal keeper. Chelsea was always developing good goal keeper. Curtois was also coming from chelsea too. He has been brilliantly playing for madrid since a few years ago.
Madrid can consider kepa as a secondary option. Madrid has had a secondary goal keeper right now but kepa's quality was far better than it. No doubt if madrid was looking for a goal keeper like kepa.

Kepa has been also showing how he was able adapting to the club easily without even getting burden. Madrid needs someone like him, but the main problem will be on the price tag.
Chelsea may not let him go out with cheap price but madrid is always having good business with chelsea since a few years ago. I remind you rudiger transfer too. It's also going so well.

I think Real Madrid should actually look to buy him. He is performing well for Real Madrid. And I am pretty sure that he is not going to be able to perform well in Chelsea as he is doing it in Real Madrid. and I also do not think Chelsea will be a good destination for him. Of course, Chelsea might think otherwise. Chelsea will not want to let him go looking at his performance. But Chelsea might let him go if the offer is good enough from Real Madrid. Real Madrid should understand that it is not going to hurt them at all to have two goalkeepers at the same time. Because I don't think they will have any problem rotating them properly.

[Litzki1990]

Why don't you think Kepa is worth making a permanent move, doesn't he have good form?
Kepa only conceded 7 goals in 10 appearances in La Liga and 3 goals in the Champions League from 3 appearances. But that's not all because Kepa is weak, but also because Real Madrid's defensive performance is not very strong.

It's not bad for Kepa to get a few seasons in as Real Madrid's goalkeeper, but I'm not at all sure Real Madrid will if Courtois recovers. Real Madrid doesn't have a better goalkeeper than Courtois at the moment, so Kepa should be very reliable.

Real Madrid have shaky form this season, specifically pointing to the defendlines, the key defenders are injures and unavailable for league games. This point mentioned just made me remember Eder Militao who's injured and he's yet to feature for the important games for Real Madrid, though they have superb goalkeepers, Thibaut Courtois who's currently injured but he's very important goalkeeper for Los Blancos. Real Madrid signing Arrizabalaga Kepa from Chelsea for temporary replacement for Courtois was a good signing, he has delivered and made important saves for his new club.

Real Madrid have had some bad news at the start of the season. They lost some of their key players to injuries early in the season. The biggest blow for Real Madrid was Thibaut Courtois out for the season as well as a long-term injury to one of their most important defenders, Eder Militao. 
After these two, however, some key players were injured again but all those players recovered quickly but Eder Militao and Thibaut Courtois are yet to recover themselves so other players are performing in their positions. Real Madrid had a bit of a problem early on with these two players getting injured but maybe they don't have that problem now as they are performing very well now. There is not much difference between the players who perform on the field of Real Madrid and the players who are on the site bench that is why Real Madrid can perform well with side bench players even if they lose important players due to injury.

Douglas Costa offered himself to Juventus to be back.

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

Costa's current performance isn't up to par, so the chances of Juventus re-signing him don't look too good. It's unfortunate for him, especially when big clubs like Man United, Chelsea, and Tottenham were interested in him.

Chelsea have shown an interest in signing Barcelona midfielder Gavi for £87 million:

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
