⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

Actually this is good news for Felix, the article if he is still a player from Atletico Madrid it makes his movement a little unfree, because Atletico Madrid seems to hang his status, so it is better if he becomes part of Barcelona. But it will take time because the agreement process will run tough, especially if it concerns money. Surely Atletico Madrid themselves do not want to lose money on this, because if they release this player then they will definitely think about benefiting from the sale of Felix, and the problem is with the limitations that Barcelona have, will they be able to make the agreement happen? we'll see.

It seems implied by Xavi's words, which were reported by Fabrizio Romano, that the club must negotiate. We can interpret that negotiations can proceed smoothly according to Xavi's wishes or that there will be quite complicated obstacles regarding the price that Altetico Madrid will ask for. As far as we know, Barcelona is not in a healthy financial condition. If they want to make this player from Portugal permanent, that means they have to let go of a player instead.

Apart from that, Xavi also wants to patent Cancelo from Manchester City. It's possible if City releases him at a price that is relatively friendly or affordable to Barcelona. but for Felix, it seems it won't be as easy and smooth as we talked about. Moreover, it's not just Barcelona who are interested in Joao Felix. Last summer, Felix was targeted by several big Premier League clubs apart from Chelsea, including Arsenal and United. However, there was no agreement or even meeting between these clubs. It could be just gossip, or the transfer price requested by Atletico is too expensive. But, we'll see how it goes. What is certain is that Felix stated his intention to have it patented by Barcelona.

There is some news about Hugo Lloris the experienced goalkeeper of Tottenham and it seems this player is going to leave the team to Newcastle. Since Newcastle wasn't to improve the team and they needed a goalkeeper Hugo Lloris is linked to this team.
However, Hugo Lloris is a 36-year-old player and he can't be a long-term investment for this team.

To be honest, it's been a long time since I saw Hugo Lloris' performance and even though he is still at Spurs, his position has been replaced by a fairly young goalkeeper, namely Guglielmo Vicario. Currently, it seems like he no longer has coach Ange's trust and is just spending time on the bench. If Newcastle are interested in bringing him in as a replacement for Nick Pope this season, that's not a problem considering he is a good goalkeeper who is very experienced. Newcastle don't need to provide long-term contracts, at least they can take out a season-long loan, which is good enough and won't cost a lot.

According to the Sun Kalvin Phillips, is maybe going to Manchester United next year.

But Juventus also according to hem is also interested in him from this winter.

I don't know why the lad has been snubbed and  overlooked by Pep Guardiola. He was amongst the best players in midfield that year Marcelo Bielsa to Leeds United. Pep Guardiola hasn't really given a good talk on why he hasn't picked up the lad for couple minutes in the game. Against Aston Villa, I was expecting the lad to be used but Pep Guardiola was far from bringing him Into the game.

To Manchester United? They should get to scout for good players, one to replace Donny Van Dee Beek? He has been linked to Juventus alongside Jadon Sancho from Manchester United.

Manchester United are looking for their striker options in the market. Openda and Guirassy are the most popular names being called with the Red Devils these days. Each one of them would cost them quite a high amount of money for sure. Because both of them are valuable players already due to their impressive performances.

Their teams wouldn't like to let any of them go that easy. Their demand for a transfer fee would be solid. Manchester United are still a rich team of course. If they really feel like they need to sign a striker then they would be ready to spend whatever amount is needed.

I don't think Lloris at Newcastle would be an improvement when they have Pope who is at the same level. ManU needs someone like Lloris a lot more, because what Onana has delivered in the last few months has been nothing short of horror. It actually surprises me that Onana hasn't been replaced by the second goalie and after Ten Hag, Onana is the second one who would be on my list to be thrown out.

I'm not really familiar with these players, but I know they are playing in Bundesliga and they are quite productive this season (score many goals). Loïs Openda is playing in Leipzig, meanwhile Serhou Guirassy is playing in Stuttgart. Because they played impressively, it is surely not easy to sign them. Moreover, they seem playing as the main player in their current teams.

Well, I don't know if Man United has the money or not. Being a rich club doesn't always mean to sign any player. But if Man United really want these players, I guess they must spend more than €50m for each player. Their current market values are more than €40m now, their club must expect more than that amount of money.

I won't like Mbape to come to my team because of his arrogance.There are teams Mbape will suit to play,while there are teams that will not need him to be in their squad.No doubt,he is a good player,and when he is on the ball,there is high hope of him delivering,but the problem with big players is that they are always difficult to control because they are big names and the amount of money they earn always has a way of making them arrogant and want to be above the coach.
I head rumours that Mbape prefers a move to Arsenal or Chelsea,but I think where he really wants to play is Arsenal because they are playing a better football at the moment,and they are all young players who are eager to win trophies. I know the Arsenal board and the Arsenal coach will not want to sign him because of his status.Martinelli and Saka are doing a good job at Arsenal,so they need no Mbape in the team.

I share your opinion about the arrogance problems and it is something I dislike a lot, but as long as these players score goals and are the best on the pitch, there isn't much someone could argue against. Arrogance is dumb, but they make everyone shut their mouth when they are the players who win the games.

Ronaldo is the same kind of guy and it is love him or hate him, but one thing was always certain: he scored loads of goals no matter what. So would a team really dismiss a player because that player can be arrogant? I doubt it when the players is one of the best in the world most teams would gladly accept some of the arrogance.

These two players are productive strikers so far in the Bundesliga and it is not surprising that Manchester United is starting to take an interest. I think it will be a difficult decision for Manchester United to choose one of them and maybe I think Lois Openda is still better in terms of age. Moreover, he has been the foundation of Leverkusen so far and that is why he also played a role in bringing Leverkusen to the top of the Bundesliga standings.

But indeed the costs will be very expensive and mutual bargaining negotiations will occur. Leverkusen will certainly ask for a very large fee, especially since they know that those interested are big clubs like Manchester United and perhaps what is a little worrying is that his performance will decline if he joins Manchester United.

Joao Felix is definitely a great player and we saw that in the games we saw from this player but the fact about Joao Felix is he should leave the team unless Barcelona hires this player permanently, I think the player Xavi chose during the time he was working at Barcelona was mostly effective and to be honest Xavi didn't spend money on useless players so far.

I don't think he is a really great player because he sometimes still plays underperformance. He ever played in Chelsea, I think he didn't succeed when he was loaned in Chelsea. But since he is still young (24 years old) and he has good skills, we can expect that he has a potential to be a great player in the future. His problem is about consistency in playing. I assume he will be more consistent to play in good form as he gets more experience in the future. So, actually he deserves to sign by Barcelona. Moreover, if his play style fits with Xavi's tactics/strategies.

I really hope that Barcelona and Xavi will try to sign him from Atletico Madrid. But I guess Barcelona must pay to Atletico Madrid more than his current market price (€50m). I heard the rumor that Atletico Madrid expects to get €80m by selling Felix.

Felix performance in Barcelona cannot be say good because from 12 matches which he played Felix only able to scores 2 goals and indeed Xavi personally want to permanent his status at the end of this season because Felix looks very suitable to Xavi strategy but Laliga still has 23 matches remaining and Felix should be showing more effort to be performing well for each matches because if he unable to do that probably Xavi will change his decision and will not permanent his status and Atletico Madrid fans wouldn't accept him anymore so after this season ended the options is only two for Felix that stayed in Barcelona with permanent status or moved to other teams instead of Atletico Madrid and Barcelona have to spend a lot of money to bought him and with the current their financial status it's really hard to realized this transfer

I think Real Madrid should make a move on him pretty quickly. Because I don't think there is any point to keep waiting for Mbappé, which eventually might not even happen. I am pretty sure that if an English Premier League club gives him more money than Real Madrid, he is going to go to that English Premier League club.  So Real Madrid should be smart and not make history repeat itself. it is very much possible that what I said will exactly happen and Mbappé will also probably again get more money in the name of Real Madrid from other clubs.  And of course, Osimhen will be great for Real Madrid.

It depends I believe. If I understand correctly, Real Madrid is one of his dream clubs and he always envisioned to play for them. In terms of finances, I think there are only a few clubs that have deep pockets such that they can make a bid for Mbappe. Maybe Liverpool has a chance when they sell Salah for a lot of money, but then there is perhaps Manchester City. I am not sure if any other club would be attractive enough for Mbappe to go there apart from the money. Arsenal London is a good club of course, but it isn't quite as attractive as Real Madrid or Manchester City.

~snip~Ronaldo is the same kind of guy and it is love him or hate him, but one thing was always certain: he scored loads of goals no matter what. So would a team really dismiss a player because that player can be arrogant? I doubt it when the players is one of the best in the world most teams would gladly accept some of the arrogance.

Only a stupid club will carry out this dismissal because after the dismissal many clubs will come to bring in Ronaldo. about being arrogant or something like that is already a character, but of course there is a reason for that attitude. The best players are also humans and they have traits that may be unpredictable. Now the important thing is how the player performs on the field.

[X-ray]

Xavi wants to make Joao Felix deal permanent and the player is already very willing to do so. Because he is already playing for his dream team at the moment. He is giving his best in games to make a good level of contribution to the team as well. Only thing left is to convince Atletico Madrid to make the signing.

But first Barcelona's offer will need to be convincing as well. Because his current market value is 50 million euros and Atletico Madrid wouldn't like to let him go for a cheap price. They already want to part ways with Felix normally.

Xavi have made the right decision and is for the good of the team and for his own job too. Joao Felix have been great since he joined Barcelona on loan this season after his club Atletico Madrid didn’t want to add him to their squad this season. He has improved under a new team and a new coach which he claimed to have been his dream team all along. His love for the team will be amongst the factor that made him improved his game in order to get the chance to make it as a permanent player in the team. I am very happy for him, I just hope the deal will go smoothly because Atletico Madrid will want to get a lot of money from his sale since he has improved and will add more value to Barcelona now when they make him their permanent player.

Joao Felix is definitely a great player and we saw that in the games we saw from this player but the fact about Joao Felix is he should leave the team unless Barcelona hires this player permanently, I think the player Xavi chose during the time he was working at Barcelona was mostly effective and to be honest Xavi didn't spend money on useless players so far.

He will out next year but i have heard a plan from barcelona to make him as a permanent transfer. The only main problem if barcelona doesn't have 100 millions to make it happen. Atletico madrid must be patient enough in waiting for barcelona to raise the money to be used for felix.
Barcelona was also targeting cancelo as well but it seems like that will give barcelona another burden. Atletico madrid was not willing to lowering its price tag for felix. Some players will be putting for sale by barcelona.

felix needs to go back to the atletico madrid if barcelona will not try to make him to be permanent transfer. I would like to see him stay in barcelona coz his gameplay is not even fit to the atletico madrid.
The better thing for felix to stay in barcelona. Barcelona shall sell some players to buy him. I hope barcelona will make it happen soon. Some players are ready to be exchanged with felix.
barcelona is not a strong club right now. It needs to build the club again by buying some important players.

There is some news about Hugo Lloris the experienced goalkeeper of Tottenham and it seems this player is going to leave the team to Newcastle. Since Newcastle wasn't to improve the team and they needed a goalkeeper Hugo Lloris is linked to this team.
However, Hugo Lloris is a 36-year-old player and he can't be a long-term investment for this team.

There are three names, namely De Gea, Keylor Navas and Hugo Lloris, of these three names the most dominant are being rumored to be joining Newcastle to strengthen their squad due to the injury to main goalkeeper Nick Pope.
The three of them are quite good goalkeepers and can be relied on to be substitute goalkeepers who might be able to play well for Newcastle in the Premier League, but everything is still just rumors.
In addition, the official statement given by Eddie Howe emphasized that neither he nor Newcastle confirmed that there was any consideration in recruiting one of these goalkeepers.
Everything was done because Newcastle was in an unstable financial condition and they didn't want that if they took replacement goalkeeper, Nick Pope, it would affect the team finances.
Previously I agreed with De Gea option but because Eddie Howe as coach denied this statement, it was certain that it would not happen.

exactly, and arrogance like that is a common thing that is often done by star players, even Messi also has the same arrogant character as Ronaldo and things like this cannot be used as a reason to fire a player even though the player has made a good contribution by scoring a lot of goals. and if firing Ronaldo can make everything okay, it seems like it will never happen or even get worse.

a star player has an arrogant nature which is appropriate because his arrogance is commensurate with the contribution and talent he has and usually has strong reasons for carrying out such arrogance and I am quite sure that if Ronaldo is sacked any team will lose its best player like Man United who is currently still in bad situation.

Im wary of Joao Felix's performance and fit with Barcelona. His inconsistency worries me, although hes had brilliance moments. Have you forgotten his Chelsea days? No big news. I doubt its worth it because Barcelona may have to spend at least €80 million to seal the transaction.

Felix suits Xavi's style, thus he likes him tactically. Felix's performance at Barcelona has been poor - hes scored two goals in twelve appearances. That doesnt justify spending so much, especially considering Barcelona is struggling financially. Because they're in trouble, every investment must pay off large, and Felix may not be a safe bet. He may prove himself with time and experience, but its risky today.

However, Hugo Lloris is a 36-year-old player and he can't be a long-term investment for this team.

Maybe Newcastle just needs a new goalkeeper for a while so they choose one who is quite experienced, especially experienced with the English Premier League competition, so that they can immediately improve the situation which is currently quite unpleasant for them because they experienced two consecutive defeats where their goal conceded 7 goals and only can score 1 goal, what's more, next they will face Fulham, who in the last two matches have scored 10 goals without conceding, but Hugo Lloris will certainly play for Newcastle in the middle of the season if there is an agreement, but if it is a long-term investment, Newcastle needs a goalkeeper younger ones who can play on this team for a long time.

Barcelona is now seriously targeting celso as gavi's replacement but the financial problem is still become the primary concern by the club. barcelona can at least pay the transfer amounts that is still owe by the club.
I will support barcelona to get celso as long as the club will able to pay the money owe from other clubs. At least it was showing that if barcelona was capable enough to buy the new players with the available funds owned by the club.

Barcelona want to sign Tottenham and Argentina star Giovani Lo Celso in January but they have to big obstacles in their way.

https://www.goal.com/en/lists/gavi-replacement-barcelona-tottenham-giovani-lo-celso-xavi/

Celso is a very good winger and his performance is quite satisfied in the totenham. No doubt that if barcelona was targeting him to be a replacement for gavi. The problem is, will celso interest to become a backup for gavi?
I hope that celso will use his sense and try to reject barcelona's offer. He will become a secondary player if he will be joining in the barcelona.

Staying in the totenham seems a better choice for his career at this moment.

Joao Felix is happy to be at Barcelona because he plays with his favorite club but if he wants to be permanent it doesn't seem like a good idea, Joao Felix is good but, Barcelona needs a sharper striker like Lewandowski, Mbappe, Harry Kane while Joao Felix is not as sharp as the striker I mentioned above but he loves Barcelona is quite appreciated and he has done his best while joining Barcelona.
On the one hand, Barcelona's financial condition seems to make it impossible to recruit a striker who has good potential. Apart from the high price, of course the player is also thinking long term because at Barcelona his salary is not necessarily paid in full and there will definitely be salary cuts.
But if Barcelona only option is to make Joao Felix permanent with the remaining money Barcelona has, I hope Joao Felix can be a successful signing if Xavi can hone him better in the future.

Newcastle wants to get a goalkeeper quickly. especially to balance out half of the season which will be quite important for Newcastle. they won't mind age, but it will only be a short-lived signing for Newcastle. and they must immediately think of other alternatives for goalkeepers who are good in the long term.
Newcastle will also face a difficult match when they meet Milan. two painful consecutive defeats of course they don't want to continue in the Champions League. even though getting Hugo Lloris is not something they will be able to get immediately, but at least they have to secure the goalkeeper because they need him.

That doesnt justify spending so much, especially considering Barcelona is struggling financially. Because they're in trouble, every investment must pay off large, and Felix may not be a safe bet. He may prove himself with time and experience, but its risky today.

So, why did Felix play differently when he was at Chelsea and Barcelona? IMO, a player will become even better when handled by a good and competent coach. although personally, as a Barcelona fan, I haven't seen Xavi lead his squad to perform optimally this season. That doesn't mean Felix played badly at Chelsea, as you said he tended to be inconsistent. What is clear is that we both know that there are various factors and problems occurring in the Chelsea camp.
Talking about this player from Portugal, as far as I have seen when he played at the national team level, Felix is ​​quite talented. Likewise, when he played with Barcelona, ​​Felix showed his sincerity and tenacity. he is a hard worker, but unfortunately his playing has not yet reached an established level. but one thing that makes Xavi like him, is because he makes a difference. therefore also, some new rumors report that Xavi wants to keep Jaoa Felix at Camp Nou in the long term. even Xavi said that it was still too early, and the club had to negotiate first.

Regarding what the status will be in the future, let's just wait, there are various options that might happen. Talking about performance, we have a different point of view, because Felix's job at Barcelona is not as a goal getter. That's why Felix hasn't scored many goals so far, but Xavi still trusts him to be a starter in his starting eleven instead of Ferran Torres. In the Champions League, Felix has contributed 3 goals and that is enough for him who is more of a supporting player for Lewandowski. Because of that, I think Xavi has to change the system he applies to his squad so that his other players are also productive in terms of scoring goals.
