⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[marcous]

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.

It cannot be denied that Felix presence in the Barcelona squad adds variety to attacks on the front lines, and that is the main reason why Xavi is trying to make Felix status permanent from his parent club ATM. Even though it is not cheap, Barcelona management must try to make this transfer agreement happen, because we have seen that Felix has contributed quite a lot to the team, especially when we saw him score against ATM yesterday.

ATM will not release its assets at a cheap price, and we know Barcelona will not be able to afford it if it is too expensive. However, Felix clearly no longer wants to return to ATM, and Barcelona management must find a way out of the Portuguese player contract.

According to several reports circulating, Barcelona could apply for a loan for the second season to ATM, if permanent transfer negotiations reach an impasse. I think this method makes a lot of sense, and Felix has to prove himself better if he really wants to survive under Xavi.

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.

It's so unfortunate that Xavi has to face this dilemma in his managerial time at Barcelona. He cant fulfill his coaching capality for the club to prove his worth. The need for new players to strengthen the squad doesnt go well with the financial constraints that limit their ability to make significant investments. In the current market, where clubs are often cautious with spending, negotiations can indeed be prolonged and intricate.

Barcelona may need to adopt a strategic and patient approach to secure favorable deals, whether in acquiring new players or selling existing ones. Balancing the desire to bring in fresh talent with the financial realities requires careful planning and decision-making. As Barcelona works through these challenges, the resilience and adaptability of the team, both on and off the pitch, will be key. I hope Barcelona can soon find solution for their situation right now for them to maximalize their football philosophy.

Barcelona are currently in a financial situation where they'd have to be tactical in their decisions as any of it would have an effect on the team generally either positively or negatively. They've got players no doubt but there's need for an expansion of the players' circle, there's got to be additions and improvements on the state of the current squad. No doubt that they're giving a good result currently, but a team just has to keep being upgraded and advanced bit by bit in terms of players' in it.  

 Xabi has to make a quick run through of his squad, compared to the financial strength currently of the club.  He's at a point where he's got to decide either to sell a few of the players to give room for enough revenue to purchase more quality players, or he'd just find a way to rally through the players and make better use of the squad he has currently till the club is out of the crisis. His strategy just has to be improved.

I am delighted for Joao Felix since these loan deals aided his career because if he was still at Atletico Madrid, he would not be a valuable player by now because Diago Semione had issues with him and he would never be considered in the squad if he is still the team's manager. Nonetheless, Xavi and Barcelona were fortunate to have him because he is now one of the squad's main players, and I am confident that if Cavi has the opportunity to keep him on a permanent basis, he would do so because he is a world-class player that any team would be glad to have.

Xavi Hernandez already understood that Barcelona were going through some financial issues that's stopped them from signing to players the club and accepted to manage any team at his disposal. It's sad that a young manager like Xavi is currently going through a that to survive at the club but the truth is he doesn't have the financial strength to do otherwise. He would have to continue managing the quality of players at his disposal till when Barcelona can be able to sign world class players that are capable of delivering Xavi Hernandez's kind of football. Barcelona aren't doing bad this season as they've delivered good performances that's seen them top their group in the UEFA Champions League as well and currently occupy the third position if the Spanish La Liga table

Atletico Madrid spent more than 126 million euro for signing Joao Felix from Benfica on 2019 and extend contract until 2026, left two years later and I doubt Barcelona easily make permanent transfer regarding Atletico Madrid won't let Joao Felix under 100 million euro. Have quit well performance with Barcelona will make Joao Felix market values up again and not easy for signing him since Barcelona still have financial problem. Need much money for Barcelona if want make both players who have good performance between Joao Felix and Joao Cancelo to be permanently at least 150 million euro needed for both players.

There are not any valuable for Barcelona player for selling and can raise above 150 million euro, rumored with lewandowski sell to Saudi clubs seems not enough and I think his values right now under 30 million euro.

Yes, after leaving Bayern, Lewandowski’s value began to fall too quickly, if we take into account his “sports” value, then he may be worth even less than 30 million (primarily because he has a large salary and when you buy him you still have to bear serious costs later). For the Saudis, he may be interesting as a brand, but given the fact that they have already lured many star players and will soon lure more (for example, Salah), they will not overpay for Lewandowski.

PSG seems to be bored with winning the Champions League and prefers to play casually, but I'm sure PSG will win this season and provide lots of surprises for PSG fans, while for Mbappe, this depends on his wishes because if he joins Real Madrid, it's not certain. He got what he wanted, so it's better to continue his career at PSG as one of the best strikers.

Be bored winning UCL?
PSG never won UCL trophy, how can they be bored winning it?  

I think PSG isn't in a safe way to qualify for the next round. Newcastle and AC Milan still have the chance to overtake PSG in the second place of group F table. If PSG will play casually and be defeated by Dortmund in the final match, PSG will fail to go to the next round.

Regarding the rumor of Mbappe joining Real Madrid, I think it can happen in the next year (after his contract expires). I don't think Mbappe to plan leaving PSG in January transfer season, it is very unlikely. He still has a contract until Jun 30, 2024.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
