⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Docnaster]

Sancho and Antony are two names that I think Man United should be ready to cut losses on these two deals.

It is already certain that Jadon Sancho is going to leave Manchester United in January, either on loan or in a permanent deal, after the fall out with manager Erik Ten Hag, there is definitely no way back for Sancho into the Manchester United team, he has been completely separated from the team and has even been removed from the players' Whatsapp group chat, his agent must be looking for a new club for him already.

That being said, i don't think United would be ready to sell Anthony now, he has greatly underperformed, but they bought him for quite a lot of money and no team would even be willing to pay half of that money for Anthony, they would give him more time or send him out on loan next summer, it all depends on how he performs from now until the end of the season.

The current issue between Manchester United boss Erik Ten Hag and their winger Jadon Sancho escalated to this point because of the fact the player's arrogance and that I think is an attribute that should be found among a young footballer of Sancho's age.
After the alleged altercation between the player and the manager happened, the manager demanded an apology from the young star as the only solution to whichever problem they were having and the only thing that can make him recall Sancho back to the club but unfortunately, he proved too stubborn to apologise. He's surely gonna leave during the January transfer window

Yes, and that money is going to probably bring in players who will perform better. But to be honest that is something we have been saying for a long time. The reality is whichever player they bring in, suddenly starts to perform pretty badly. So I don't know what will happen with Manchester United even if they sell these two and bring in new players. Right now the future of Manchester United is quite uncertain. And the players who are coming into the Manchester United squad are differently going to have a thought about that.

Considering the current performance of Jadon Sancho and Anthony, I don't think they're gonna cost anything close to 80% of the amount Manchester United spent to sign them from their respective former clubs because since they joined the Old Trafford club, they've been a shadow of the players we all saw in Borussia Dortmund and Ajax.
It's been reported that they're gonna leave during the January transfer window but I don't expect Manchester United to make reasonable amount of money through their sales.

Luka Modric will probably leave Real Madrid after his contract expires at the end of this season and indeed he wants to stay longer with Real Madrid, but because he is getting old of course that will be a consideration for Real Madrid in giving him a new contract. His contribution to Real Madrid will be appreciated by fans and he is one of Real Madrid legends whose loyalty can surpass everything. As he is 38 years old and his physical condition seems to be declining and it is appropriate for him to look for an easier league to play in for the next 2 season.

I would be interested in seeing him play in the Saudi Arabian league with Ronaldo next season because he could be reunited with Ronaldo in one team. But we'll see what the decision is after this season ends, whether Modric will announce his retirement and join the board of the Real Madrid team or return to play with a new team in the coming season.

Luka is a legend at Real Madrid and his 12 years stay at the Spanish capital might finish when the season comes to an end. I think because of his age which is a declining factor Real Madrid might nit want to renew his contract.

 He should probably be the next big European star to grace the Saudi League if the right offer comes in for him but currently his aim and focus is to help Real get the La Liga title and have a good shot at the UCL because he has the experience on these competitions, It’ll be a sweet scene to watch when he reunites with either Karim Benzema or Ronaldo, as for joining the board I think that will be a thing of 1-2 years from now and not immediately because he’s still pretty cool with the ball and has a lot to offer.

Do you think the game is easy in the Saudi Pro League? It doesn't seem like it's that easy, the competition there is no less fierce and for Modric himself he has to be able to prove his quality, old age doesn't mean the game in Saudi Arabia is easy to control.

Yes. I agree with you, the Saudi Pro League has become a little bit better this season. The previous season there was only Ronaldo. But this season a lot of star players went there and improved the quality of the league a little bit. If Modric wants to play in a more comfortable league, he can go to MLS. Because MLS is an easier league than SPL. I think Modric had great years at Real Madrid and completed his mission at Real Madrid. He became one of the legendary midfielders in Real Madrid history. And if he leaves the team today, Real Madrid has young players who can take his place. He left a great mark in the history of football.

The current Arsenal squad is still playing well without Thomas Partey and therefore Arsenal no longer need his services despite his good performance last season. Now Mikel Arteta prefers to place young players in his squad and Thomas Partey is certainly not in his plans considering he is already 30 years old. On the other hand, in fact he can still continue his career in other top European leagues such as Serie A or La Liga even if an offer comes his way. But indeed, with the trend that has been building since the beginning of last year, the Saudi league is very difficult to resist, especially with the large number of European players coming, making this league even more popular in the future.

The Gunner's are doing well without Thomas Partey because, they invested in a much younger player who has room for improvements, consistency and upgrades. ( Declan Rice )
Declan Rice had chemistry with the plans of of Mikel Arteta immediately and he has been excellent.
Thomas Partey needs to leave, He shouldn't leave for Juventus. With his recent development ( Prone to Injury ) Juventus wouldn't be a good destination for the player amd not for the club.

He was about making the switch to a Saudi Arabian side when Mikel Arteta had a talk with him. He wouldn't want to miss out this time.

Once again there is a new about Modric and the Saudi teams.

I doubt he will leave during the winter season.
Real Madrid has a lot of problems with long injuries now, he will probably stay until june.

Lucz Modric loves Real Madrid a lot but he knows he can't stay there forever. Real Madrid respect you as a player until you turn 35 then you risk being off each year once your performance drops. No names or trophies count on Real Madrid decision. That's why I assume Modric will not keep staying in the benches the whole season or play once there is injuries. Until now Saudi Arabia count on his presence and I assume Al-Ittihad has reached Benzema to talk with Modric about Saudi Arabia.

Modric's position at Real Madrid has been on my mind. Its a real sign of the times, isnt it? Real Madrid is entitled to look ahead at 38 years old, even though he's been a great player. I heard that the Saudi Pro League wants to sign him, which doesnt surprise me at all. He still has great skills, and he could be very helpful in a league thats growing and getting tougher. Im interested to see if he'll go over there with his friend Cristiano Ronaldo. Being in a new place and facing a new task could be a nice change for him. I can see why he might want to stay in Spain, though. He cares a lot about Real Madrid, and he might not be ready to let go of that just yet.

[Jody.Drummer]

I think now it's different because Modric no longer has a main place in the Real Madrid team so it's possible for him to accept the offer and play while waiting for his retirement.
Now that Luka Modrić is 38 years old, of course he can no longer regularly compete with the young players in the Real Madrid first team.

With a fantastic salary offer I think it is very possible for Luka Modrić to accept the offer, and even if he leaves it will not have any impact on Real Madrid's midfield, it is time for Luka Modrić to enjoy football in a non-competitive league before he decides on a possible retirement there are only a few seasons left.

 Well though Modric has an undying love for the club and would still love to continue playing for Realmadrid but he should understand that he's not as young as he used to be and most coaches in the European league would mostly prefer giving chances for youngsters to thrive, making him to be at the bench in most matches, 38 years is an age that's due to retirement and I doubt if he modric would be able to play full 90mins and compete with younger midfielders in other teams in terms or physical strength and agility.

 The best thing is for him to seize the opportunity of moving to the Saudi league where we'll be earning a more better salary and given enough match time compared to if he remains at Realmadrid and also the money he receives would really serve as a retirement fund when he finally leaves football.

Yes now many coaches are giving confidence to young players to be able to get more playing time, it goes hand in hand with the regeneration program that most clubs implement. It is true that Modric must be able to realize that, if he still wants more playing minutes than being on the bench, unless he has planned for it and in the near future will decide to retire. Especially now at Real Madrid, young players who are given the trust can answer that trust by performing well. Although some times they are not satisfactory, they are slowly getting better over time.

I also read the news about this senior Madrid player, and what he said for his club Real Madrid and as I previously predicted. Therefore, of all the existing Madrid players, I have full respect and appreciation for this player from Croatia. although in truth, I am not a Real Madrid supporter.
We don't need to talk about his ethos, he has proven it both for his club and his national team. Modric, is another person with the most totality and loyalty to the club where he plays. I think Modric really understands the club's current situation, after all he is 38 years old.

Nevertheless, as he said in several newspapers and to which I refer. "Real Madrid is everything to him" it's part of my life, my family, it's my way of life. That's why I like this player apart from his skill in handling the ball, his stability and his experience. although now the situation has changed, and young players have changed, even more actively taking over their current position and duties. and I'm sure Modric is very aware of this. but because of his loyalty, he remains loyal to Real Madrid.
There are several rumors circulating that Modric has agreed to leave Real Madrid for the Saudi Pro League. However, this rumor was denied by Real Madrid general director Jose Angel. In short, we have no intention of selling it. which means, Modric will be with Madrid. and ending his status as a free agent player after his contract expires. So far there is no certainty regarding Modric joining the Saudi pro league, everything is still just rumors. and I suspect, Modric will end his career with Real Madrid and become a legend. After all, Modric can still stay with Madrid even though he is no longer playing on the pitch. may happen, even if the task and status change.

No one should be able to stop Modric if he decides to leave, gradually Modric will have to let the current era of Madrid players have more freedom without him. I mean the phase has to change and throughout this season alone Modric has taught many valuable lessons as a club leader. Real Madrid must be ready for regeneration which will all be filled with young players like Barcelona when they were last left behind by Barcelona senior Sergio Busquets.

Manchester United are said to have plans to sign Antoine Griezmann in January by offering a really profitable deal for him. They are said to be planning to offer 435k euros per week which would be nearly double his weekly salary now. Marca says like it is triple the amount he earns now but as far as I can see he earns 240k euros per week.

Anyway even if this attracts Griezmann's attention I don't feel like Atletico Madrid would let him go in the first place. Because he is at home now and showing a really valuable performance to the team. I don't even expect Griezmann to leave in January while Atletico Madrid are in a much better condition than the Red Devils.

Antonio Griezmann has been Atletico Madrid best player this season amongst Alvaro Morata who have both seen themselves scoring a joint Fifteen good goals in the Spanish League.
Diego Simeone already expressed how much of a core player he has been to the club this season nad how he was meant to play for Atletico Madrid. He should have their DNA intact!

Why not offer same contract to a much younger, talented and skillful Kylian Mbappe? Kylian Mbappe would be a better player for Manchester United to consider than Antonio Griezmann who has aged and doesn't have that energy for Manchester United. Manchester needs to also build around the youngest and best players around the world.

Griezmann could have been making history by now if he didn't leave Atletico Madrid for Barcelona in 2019 for two years. He had great statistics when he played for Atletico for the first five years. But sometimes it is easy to say he shouldn't have left because we would have probably done the same when Barcelona is asking. But in retrospect I think it wasn't a smart move. I liked how brutal he was when he was 1 on 1 with the goalkeeper. It was a goal 99% of the time and he hardly missed big chances.

This rumor has spread widely on social media, whether it's true or not, it seems like Mikel Arteta doesn't really need Thomas Partey anymore and if I'm not mistaken, Thomas Partey doesn't have the opportunity to play for Arsenal this season so selling to Saudi Arabia is not a problem because Arsenal already strong enough without him and this is also an opportunity for Mikel Arteta to use the proceeds from the sale of Thomas Partey to recruit new players so he can strengthen the depth of the Arsenal squad and I am sure the two clubs from Saudi Arabia are willing to pay quite a large amount to recruit this player.
Thomas Partey can continue the rest of his career in football to play in Saudi Arabia, at least playing there provides enough playing time so that Thomas Partey's talent is not wasted.

Partey is one of the good players and one of the players who contributed enough to Arsenal before but indeed the injury problem made Partey's situation not going well especially there are several players in midfield now who can replace his position making his situation even more complicated.
There are some rumors that he is in communication with a club in the SPL, it's just that now there is a new offer from Juventus who want his services and to be a replacement for Pogba too, which they have already spent, it's just that we know the situation of Juventus in terms of their financial strength is currently quite weak so Juventus' offer is now only a loan and maybe this also depends on Partey whether he still wants competition at the European level or even the money from the SPL club.

Leroy Sané is the next player Barcelona and Real Madrid are both racing to hire this paltyer from Bayern Munich.
The contract of Leroy Sané is going to end in the summer and since there is not any news about Leroy Sané extending his contract with Bayern Munich there is the chance for him to leave Bayern Munich at the end of this season.
But since he probably will ask for a huge amount of salary, this can't be easy for Barcelona to hire this player and Real Madrid will have a higher chance of hiring Leroy Sané.

I hope this deal will be coming true but im doubting griezmann will able to perform as good as when he was playing for atletico madrid. Griezmann was playing so badly in barcelona and it sounds like he will be gonna repeat it again. I have no confidence with his performance.
Griezmann will be only repeating the old story about him in barcelona. This makes me feel MU needs to find another candidate rather than him. That salary was very big and im doubt he will reject it but who knows since he was feeling happy in atletico madrid.

Anyway even if this attracts Griezmann's attention I don't feel like Atletico Madrid would let him go in the first place. Because he is at home now and showing a really valuable performance to the team. I don't even expect Griezmann to leave in January while Atletico Madrid are in a much better condition than the Red Devils.

Atletico may let him go only if manchester united will be paying atletico madrid with a lot of money. Atletico madrid has valued him as one of important players that owned by the club. His performance is so good in atletico madrid.
Manchester united may also make another blunder. I can't really sure griezmann will be performing as good as them.

I can see why he might want to stay in Spain, though. He cares a lot about Real Madrid, and he might not be ready to let go of that just yet.

After 12 trophy-filled years at the Bernabeu, Modric seems ready to leave. From the beginning of the season, he often had to get used to sitting on the bench. The Croatian midfielder has only made 5 starts in all competitions. The appearance of Jude Bellingham affects the number 10 midfielder's position. While rookie Jude Bellingham became the focal point in midfield and attack. Is there still a significant position left for Modric?
I think the Saudi Pro League's multi-million-pound offer would be too good for him to agree. It is becoming increasingly possible for him to join a Saudi Arabian club. A move to the Saudi Pro League, if the offer is right, Modric will agree. For now, however, Modric will focus on helping Madrid regain their La Liga and Champions League crowns.

I've read Man United is ready to triple Antoine Griezmann's contract. The thing is, tripling wages is their way of trying to attract players, but it doesn't necessarily make them better. Honestly, the Premier League might be too fast-paced for him. Another point is Atletico Madrid seems to be in a better condition than Man United, so he might just turn down United's offer.

I would say he could "leave" if he wants to, but at his age, he is more likely to retire than leave if you ask me. I know that he would be offered a lot of money from teams at Saudi league, but he played almost all of his career at Madrid, and he is something like 38, if he wanted to retire at the end of this season, or play one more season at Madrid and then retire, that would not be a shocking thing, it is not going to be too weird for them.

I believe that we are going to probably see the situation progress like that. I believe that we are not going to be all that shocking at the moment, so we should not be all that weird to see them do anything that will change on the long term. I believe that we will do as fine as it gets for him.

It is Manchester United's way to always pay huge money for players who they believe can perform well,but they forget to know that the premier league as another league all together,it takes only someone  who really has football's sense to be able to come to the premier league and perform well immediately.The premier league is very tough to play in,so even if Griezman comes to Manchester United,they will still be the way they are.I prefer them to sign someone from the premier league,a player who is well proven in the EPL,who needs no adaptation to be able to know the pattern of premier leagu's method of operation.What Manchester United need now is a good coach,because with what I'm seeing now,Ten Hag cannot do his job well.

[red4slash]

The injury is now still unconfirmed as to what it is and how long he will rest for recovery but indeed this will clearly be a burden on Tottenham who have always made him a mainstay player and backbone.
Until now we also realise that the burden placed on Son from Tottenham is now very large especially after they lost Kane for the targetman position.
Son is one of the typical runners and prioritises dribling but when Tottenham are currently missing their mainstay striker then the burden is indirectly given to Son and it is not uncommon for him to occupy a position that is actually not too ideal for Son.
On the other hand, it would indeed be devastating for Tottenham if Son leaves but somehow I actually expect him to go to a club that is more suitable for him to continue to develop.

Son has been really instrumental for Tottenham Hotspur this season. He is the player that made kane's departure not really felt and the reason why they stood on the top of premier league table for this long.

Actually when saying that Tottenham are at the top and have survived until now it is thanks to teamwork and Son is just a complement there but his contribution is still quite worthy of praise because at least with some of the positions given by Postecoglou to Son actually it is clearly burdensome but he is still able and scoring 8 goals in 12 weeks that have taken place is still quite good it's just that my hope is that if in the end Son still wants something more then moving to a better club then it can be something more for the career of Son unless he is satisfied with his current achievements.

He did very well, was amongst the first five players the year Atletico Madrid won the Europa League Competition and France won the world Cup yet, he was nowhere near close to those that would be winners of the Ballon d'or award.
He moves to Barcelona and didn't play shit for Barcelona not even Coutinho..
Even Jose Mourinho wanted him at Manchester United but the club didn't put enough effort and pressure together towards sign-in most of the players Jose Mourinho. I watched him closey during the FIFA World they won. He had a good relationship with Paul Pogba on and off the pitch anyways.
