⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

I thought that Barcelona looks pretty strong without Lewandowski, but I made a mistake here. They have several young players that are very good with the ball, technically on a very high level, but they all lack the deadly efficiency that Lewandowski had when he was in perfect condition. Without him it seems that some experience is missing and also someone who can score the easy goals because he knows where the ball will go next. Lewandowski had this intuition and was always at the right place in the right time. This isn't the same since he has joined Barcelona. His numbers dropped and now injuries are increasing.

It's obviously wrong. I don't even see barcelona looks like a strong club without lewandowski. You shall better see the result in the previous games. Barcelona has been facing difficulties in beating its opponent. Having no striker played in the club makes the club was not able in doing one tap to scoring against its opponent. Does it make sense to think the club will be much better to play without pure striker rather than a striker that has good positioning and one tap?
I think that's pretty naive. Look at the result from the previous season. Lewandowski has been also the top scorer of la liga. It sounds like that you were underestimating lewandowski's contribution to the club.

Barcelona was just facing the weak team and it has not yet faced the strong team. How can you said that if the club is strong enough at this moment? I don't even think like that.
Barcelona will struggling in scoring against strong opponent when it will be playing without striker.

You tend to interpret too many things into other peoples' posts. And some of the confusion may be my fault for not being more precise with my wording, but the situation is what it is and starting from where Barcelona stands, I thought that they could bridge the gap of a missing striker due to injury with their creative attacking line and midfielders, but they can't. With the striker Lewandowski, they also have big problems. Which is why I said that I made a mistake thinking that on paper they don't look all too bad, but the results are not reflecting my first impression. That's why they definitely have to come up with a plan for the future to restructure the whole team and sign world class players where needed. But since they are still on a downtrend somehow, it is hard to convince players to go to Barcelona as it is not the club anymore that everybody wants to play for.

Real Madrid hasn't officially said anything, but several sources suggest it. Kylian will turn 26 in 2024, so the club wants to sign younger players. Because Kylian asks for a big salary and signing bonus, Real Madrid might decide not to sign him next summer. He chose politics and money over his dream, so be it. Also with Jude Bellingham around, everything has changed. Instead of focusing on him, Real Madrid should concentrate on strengthening their attacking force.

In my opinion, Madrid will remain focused on looking for a striker, regardless of whether it is Mbappe or Osimhen. Even though Madrid stated that there are no plans to recruit next season, last season was at the forefront and has always been the main focus in bringing Mbappe to Madrid. Regarding Jude Bellingham, his position remains in midfield and relying on him continuously is not a good solution. Do you think Bellingham presence will make Madrid good every season? That was so careless

Madrid needs more options than none, this is for long-term stability. Do you think one season is enough? Then afterwards, if you are hit by an injury storm and don't have any other options, can you still say you're fine?

But I feel Barcelona might not endure his injury crisis for too long before they start seeking for a replacement, except he gets back very fit and start helping them score immediately he recovers, cause his absence is really affecting the performance of  the club,

Barcelona signed Felix, I think it is one of the way to prevent the crisis of striker. Unfortunately, it seems Felix is still not in the level of Lewandowski, he is not enough to replace the role of Lewandowski. So, I also guess that Barcelona will try to sign a new striker again. They need a striker with the same level as Lewandowski.

Barcelona's only hope is Lewandowski because Barcelona cannot afford to buy a new striker with its current financial condition. Currently, Lewandowski cannot perform optimally  after the injury he experienced, but I am sure that slowly Lewandowski will return with his best performance and hopefully Lewandowski will not be injured again because that will make it even more difficult for him at Barcelona.

Considering that he is no longer young, it forces him to stay fit to face tough matches in the Spanish La Liga and other European matches, even though he is 35 years old, in my opinion, Lewandowski's performance is still quite capable as long as Lewandowski can maintain his fitness like Cristiano Ronaldo currently still looks amazing in Saudi Arabia at the age of 38 years.

Through its official statement, Real Madrid has announced a contract extension for Federico Valverde until 2029. As an important asset for Real Madrid, they want to continue to retain the services of their key players for a longer time and Federico Valverde didn't need to think long to agree to the signing. There is no doubt about Federico Valverde's love and he is the midfielder most interested in by several English teams such as Liverpool and Manchester United. Real Madrid protected this player by releasing a clause of 1 billion euros so that no team could touch him in the slightest. Apart from that, as a potential future captain for Real Madrid, Federico Valverde is of course the right player to carry out this task.

[Jody.Drummer]

Yes it's a problem they've had for years, I'm not trying to compare but in Alex Ferguson's time he could see and sign players they could then rely on. Not only that, they were also successful in recruiting young players or even promoting young players to the first squad and it was a success.
Now what they show is not like their glory days. There are some young players who stand out, like Garnarcho for example, but it still can't make up for their shortcomings in many ways.
They have a lot of work to do in this squad, and it can't be done in a short period of time.

How to bring Manchester United back to their glory:
1. The Glazer's family need to sell Manchester United to the rich person e.g. Sheikh Jassim.
2. Sack Ten Hag, hire top manager.
3. Sell useless players, sign top players.

In the next 3-5 years, we will see Manchester United can be as strong as Manchester City or Arsenal.

Yes the 3 ways you said is something that I have in mind too. In the first point I wouldn't say who they should sell to, but they should sell to someone who is serious about managing the club.
The second point, I think there are many people who would think like that.
In the third point, besides they have to bring in top players, they also have to start regenerating, because that will be their foundation for the future. And now many top clubs are doing that, we can see the changes made by Arsenal, Real Madrid's regeneration in La Liga and many more.

In fact, Federico Valverde has not been seen making big contribution this season, but last season he was a player who could be relied on because of his contribution as midfield player.
However, Federico Valverde is indeed an asset for Real Madrid because he is still young and is very likely to develop into a better player in the future.
Contract extension is one of the strategies carried out by Real Madrid to be able to make more profitable amount of money, if another team really wants him because Real Madrid will not get anything if he moves as free agent.

Not only in the third method, but all of these methods have big opportunity to change Manchester United for the better.
Firstly, Sheikh Jassim wealth means Manchester United has large budget to find players and coaches they can really rely on.
Second, Ten Hag is not worthy to coach Manchester United and now it is time for him to be replaced with another coach who is more qualified and capable of bringing about change.
Thirdly, there are too many Manchester United players who are not very useful, especially the young players they have who cannot change the quality of this squad's game.
I agree with what @Despairo said

Vinicius, Rodrygo, Camavinga and Valverde are four players who have received long-term contracts with Los Blancos. Maybe in the future there will be more players whose contracts will be renewed, Madrid management goal is very clear in maintaining transition within the squad.

However, whether Kroos and Modric will get contract extensions too, I hope that these two players will be given new contracts, even in the short term, in this case Kroos is more likely to get it because he is younger than Modric.

On the other hand, I am very curious about Madrid, especially Ancelotti, why sign Arda Guler if he has never been given playing minutes, since his arrival last summer, he has still not played to make his debut.

Curiosity doesn't always help in this scenario because there are other players weigh better than these new pointed out boys. Real Madrid signed young players for the future, these players will compete for important roles under Carlo Ancelotti games, for Arda Guler who's yet to make his debut in Madrid jersey. You mentioned quite couple of these important players in the team, Madrid looks forward to extend their contracts. Vinicius Júnior, Rodrygo, Eduardo Camavinga and Fede Valverde succeeded in extending their contracts with Real Madrid and it portrays good news for the club.

[Coyster]

Arsenal looking at one signing currently this window as it stands, likely a Striker or Winger 🤝They also want to be smart with the deal they strike, for example something similar to the Raya deal 💵.

I would not say that the David Raya deal is a smart signing, i don't know what Arteta was thinking there, David Raya is not such a good goalkeeper, neither is he better than Ramsdale, they are both on the same level (average); i know he was trying to bring competition in that position, but it has not worked out that way, Raya has been shaky since he joined Arsenal and he has been culpable for quite a few goals. I'm pretty sure Arteta knows he's made a mistake, but he is not yet humble enough to accept that he made a mistake and restore Ramsdale to him number 1 position, he is sticking to his guns, but that might be Arsenal's undoing this season.

[Mr.right85]

Arsenal looking at one signing currently this window as it stands, likely a Striker or Winger 🤝They also want to be smart with the deal they strike, for example something similar to the Raya deal 💵. Arsenal is expecting  to spend big again in the summer window 👀. Lest see who their target is. Am guessing it might be Ivan Toney Or Boni face. Also we are expecting to see Timber's twin brother to join Arsenal as a RB am not sure but that is the Rumohr everywhere.

I'm not sure if Arsenal needs a right back when we have Ben White and Timber at that position,we also have Tomiyasou,but if Arteta is to convert Zinchenko into a midfielder,which he is already doing,then I think they might go for a left back instead of right back.And concerning Ivan Toney's rumour,I think Arsenal might really want that deal to happen because the two strikers they have currently, aren't performing the way they were supposed to perform.Gabriel Jesus is not reliable,he is mostly disturbed by injury and even when he is on the field,he hardly gets goals like a top striker.Arsenal needs a reliable striker that can score Atleast 20-25 goals every season,and I think Toney maybe able to get them like 20 goals every season because he has that pace and strength.

Arsenal wants to bring in a striker but despite the talks about Ivan Toney to Arsenal, I’m not sure Arteta would want to bring him to the Emirates. Also, can Arsenal pay 100M that Brentford has put on  Toney comes January? That is a very big question.

Signing Toney in January is going to be a big task not like Brentford even replaced him in the summer, his absence has been telling on them. Honestly I think Arsenal should be mindful of the Striker that they want to invest heavily on such that the present & future are assured. Toney is a booby trap, considerable number of his return are penalties, and he’s not as technically sound and He'll be 28 by march. He's not someone that I see elevating this Arsenal side as much. Left for me, I don't need Toney, he’s almost the same profile with Gabriel Jesus. I need a poacher that can score half chance, a deadly finisher. I don't care about the league he comes from, but a good finisher.

Even though Mbappe is important at PSG and many want him to leave, Real Madrid is no longer interested in signing him. Considering Mbappe has been their main target over the previous few seasons and his current contract issues with PSG proved they intended to bring him to Madrid, this is shocking. Madrid's decision appears to have been based on Mbappe's wage demands, a change from their policy of focusing on younger players, and the possibility of a club war. All eyes are on the Premier League because Mbappe may seek new challenges in England

Remember that Mbappe's position is changeable. Football has seen many last-minute public case modifications. Madrid's attitude may appear set, but Mbappe's brilliance can change it. With Chelsea and Liverpool apparently interested, this is especially true given their money and goals. Mbappe's decision will affect football across Europe, making the next part of the story the most intriguing of the season

Mbappe is really at a very big point of his career. Here any decision will be the turning point around his career with Real Madrid slowly losing interest in the French forward, I think he’s gonna be so quick to chose another destination so that he can continue to flourish, but sincerely I think Real Madrid might still come for him owing to the fact that the lack of a striker is what’s the missing piece in their formidable team.

 With Chelsea and Liverpool watching from the sides, I think Mbappe’s priority will be UCL football and with Chelsea’s current form, I think that might not be a good destination for this star man, Real Madrid has everything he needs but does he have what Real Madrid needs? Surprises are bound to spring up in the last minutes owing to the fact that Mbappe’s transfer will be the big news of the summer and his new club will be on the spotlight next season,Let’s see how things unfold.

It's like Mbappe is trapped at PSG, he doesn't get the opportunity to play for another club, because PSG always prevents him from playing in other leagues by setting a price that is too high to be accepted by other clubs who want to sign him. Madrid is currently still hoping for Mbappe, but if PSG is reluctant to reduce Mbappe's price, I'm sure Madrid will start forgetting about Mbappe until PSG can't get a contract extension signed. Or it could be that Madrid has lost interest in him. EPL club? I don't know, the price can be a challenge for EPL club to sign him.

Mbappe is almost 25 years old (in a month) and given the fact that new stars like Haaland, Bellingham and some others are emerging, he really needs to hurry to occupy his niche both in the media space and in the “golden annals of football”. Despite the fact that he already has many achievements with the national team, at the club level he cannot yet boast of anything special since the Ligue 1 titles do not interest anyone. If the transfer to Real takes place, we will see the first news in the winter as official negotiations will already be resolved between the parties.

There was a time that Kylian Mbappe almost signed for Real Madrid but decided to extend his contract with Paris Saint Germaine because of how lucrative the offer from PSG president was and that's why I wouldn't say he is trapped. Though he was denied the chance to leave PSG last summer to Real Madrid by the club but I think he should've left the club when he had the chance but never used it.
That being said, reports has it that the Frenchman has already reached an agreement with Real Madrid to join the Spanish club next summer which I think is definitely gonna happen baring last minute changes from any of the two parties

And this will indirectly reduce Mbappe achievements on the European stage. It is true that PSG continues to block his departure to other clubs, especially Madrid, so the alibi of setting a price is a reasonable option for them and considers the French player to be the most expensive player so far. Actually, there is nothing to lose for Madrid because for next season they are still focused on finding a pure striker who can be brought in. Any star player would want to play for Las Blancos and that would be a big dream. As the biggest club, Madrid must maintain its pride and not beg PSG. In this way, PSG will feel the impact themselves because they continue to be an obstacle for Mbappe in developing his career in Europe.

Achievements are the honors needed to be won and lifted by players, that's the evidence that shows that a player have been really incredible regarding his game style. Kylian  Mbappe is the one  player that can win more than 3 Ballon d'Or consecutively but he has compromised his chances of winning it after failing to move to La Liga giant, Real Madrid. Mbappe still thinks he's young but he doesn't know his time is counting faster than he could imagine. Kylian Mbappe should take the bold step and move to Real Madrid, that's the only club that will increase his chances of winning Ballon d'Or.

I think for Modric that is enough considering that he will be 39 next year and it is unlikely that Real Madrid will want to continue to extend him. But if it's Kroos I think it's still okay considering he's currently 34 years old, at least one last season for Kroos is still worth it.

Arda Guler often gets injured when his turn to make his debut looms and that is not what he has wanted since joining Real Madrid. Currently, he still trains frequently and is currently recovering and it looks like it won't be long before we see his debut with Real Madrid. There was concern that the injury he suffered would have a serious impact, but considering that he is still young, this should be handled well.

Both Luka Modric and Toni Kroos should leave, being aged 34 means nothing, they've already signed a year contract with the club and has prepared suitable replacements for all of the departing. They'll be remembered as legend most definitely. There's no excuses for Kroos, he will leave, if you've noticed they've had reduced game time for the club.

Arda Guler has just returned from Injury. Luka Modric gave good comments about him that should make Real Madrid fans excited. A senior player having great thoughts about the young midfielder makes sense.
He should be given time, he'll bounce in well into the Real Madrid squad. He's only eighteen, Carlo Ancellotti has said it'll take the perfect timing to play him so he doesn't rush back injured.

[QueenVera]

well, this is why we always speculate that Real Madrid must immediately look for a reliable striker, but that does not mean Mbappe could be Haaland or Osimhen, etc. the most important thing is a striker who has high quality talent recruiting this striker player, Real Madrid can strengthen their attack line even though they already have Bellingham and Vinicius, but Madrid needs a striker because Bellingham is a midfielder who will definitely have a little difficulty playing an important role as a striker and on the one hand, Bellingham is currently injured and Vinicius is also new. just recovering from his injury and looking for a talented striker will be the best alternative for me to maintain the performance of the attacking line.

from now on I dont really hope for Mbappe arrival again, but if Madrid can bring in Mbappe, this will be happy news, but if not, I hope that Madrid is targeting a striker player who is almost the same as Mbappe.

How good Real Madrid is without a solid striker, then imagine how better and even best they'd be if they have a striker with them, Madrid is filled with skilful players who are even versatile and can deliver at whatever position they're placed, that's good team coordination but not withstanding they need a key striker, to make their squad more complete and their final third stronger.

 Rumors of Mbappe's move are around but with it being successful or not, they should look deep as there are many options of players that resonates with Mbappe's qualities that they can select from, It'll likely take them a short time to find though because Madrid is one club that most players would love to be a part of it, Extending their network further will do them a whole good in catching the perfect big fish for the squad.

It is appropriate for these four players to receive long-term contract extensions because currently these four players are Ancelotti's strength in playing matches in any competition. Vinicius, Rodrygo, Camavinga and Valverde are the core squad that he always plays with and the contribution of these four players has been very big this season. Maintaining the transition with the strength of the young players we have will be much more careful because perhaps the talk of maturity is not yet completely strong.

So we need a Kross or Modric figure for the next season as a mentor in maintaining the rhythm of the game and I'm sure of the two names you mentioned, maybe one of them will get a contract extension for another season.

On the other hand, I am very curious about Madrid, especially Ancelotti, why sign Arda Guler if he has never been given playing minutes, since his arrival last summer, he has still not played to make his debut.

Arda Guler suffered an injury and is currently recovering and has been training with other colleagues. Ancelotti will definitely play Arda Guler when needed and maybe at the moment he is not included in his strategic plan. So we'll just have to wait and see when Ancelotti gives him the opportunity to debut and whether he can make good use of this opportunity.
