⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Plaguedeath]

The Premier League is considered the mecca of football because it is the best league in the world, it is not surprising that top players really want to play there.

Incorrect, the best football league is Saudi Professional League since they have Ronaldo, as we know Ronaldo is a GOAT in football.

Financial dynamics in the Premier League seriously hurt clubs. Due of the league's affluence, everyone expects them to spend big. This puts United and City under pressure to pay inflated costs, such as 70 million euros for a Serie A player who would cost considerably less. A double-edged sword. They have the money, but one mistake, say an 80-90 million euro mistake, might be disastrous. Clubs cant ignore losses. It's about smart, sustainable investments, not just large dollars.

I think they're not getting hurt since many teams are afford to spend a big amount of money to star players, there's always an investor want to buy their shares. Maybe all the teams would be owned by Arabian billionaires lol.

Previously I discussed the move of Sau Paulo's talented young player, Lucas Beraldo, who joined PSG. Now there is another name of a talented young player from Brazil who will join PSG and he is Gabriel Moscardo. A verbal agreement has been reached with Corinthians and we are just waiting for an official announcement from PSG. He is still very young at 18 years and he is a central midfielder who is expected to help the team's performance in this season's competition and the seasons to come. The cost is quite cheap, 20 million euros, which also includes add-ons for Corinthians.

It seems that PSG has started to look at young talent as a long-term investment and if his performance continues to improve over several seasons, PSG will definitely be open to any team that wants to bid for this player. But what is clear at the moment is that the task of these young players is to strengthen the depth of the squad and their role will also be very much needed when the team is having difficulties.

Yes and some contracts are written specifically for the Premier League when there are release clauses implemented for players. It could say that the player can leave the club for 50m if the buyer comes from Spain or Italy, and the player can leave for 60m if the buyer comes from the Premier League. And yes everyone takes notice of these gigantic broadcasting contracts they negotiate and then it's just comprehensible that the selling clubs use this to their advantage during negotiations and it turns out to be successful because how likely is it that a club will refrain from buying a player when it is a bout 10m more or less for a great talent.

It's only in EPL a certain elite club will spend £100million on a player that's yet to make senior appearance in the club or in a major competition and how come the worth increases rapidly? Buy them now, you will noticed how wasteful players you sign. EPL clubs ensure they stamp gigantic price tag on their players because most of the mediocre clubs, how do the earn? Definitely from their valuable players. For instance checking Brighton & Hove Albion, can they remember when last they won any major title? So they will use what they have to get what they want.

English club management is very good at utilizing young players so that clubs like Brighton one of which has succeeded in investing in a good and profitable way. Indeed since the beginning of Brighton existence in the Premier League it has been to improve its business not only by competing but also by having an owner who understands how business works taking advantage of the situation well and has made large profits from the sale of quality players. In line with what  Brighton has done when recruiting young players outside the radar of other English clubs. Even Brighton has its own method of looking for talent  across the country.

It reminds me with arsenal once it was not become a spender club like this time. Im really missing that golden time when arsen wnger was still there. Brighton is a club that was focusing to develop the players instead of buying the players with high price.
The club is just playing like dortmund, brighton bought the cheap player then club develop it to be sold for the high price like when caicedo joined chelsea. Brighton was a club that focuses on the business instead of getting the trophy.
You will never see brighton to be one of top spender club in the premier league caused by this is not the main target owned by brighton. the club is willing to be profitable club.

Premier league financial situation is not an easy one at all to manage. First of all, the whole world knows that they are making a ton of money, so they ask more money from them, like lets say you are a team that is midtable at serie A and you have a player, you ask 70 million euro from United, whereas you ask for 30 million at most from Juventus, why? Because you know United or City can pay that, premier league is a rich league. This looks like a good thing for premier league teams, they do have a lot of money, and a big budget but the reality is that if you make a mistake then how can you recover? I mean making 80-90 million euro worth mistakes are not easy to get rid of, and that's what causes them to get worse and worse over time.

It can be observed that the primary source of funding for EPL teams is the personal budget of their respective owners. It is not realistic to expect that the money will always come solely from the income raised by the club. With the EPL boasting the highest level of traffic, does it surprise you to observe the significant financial investments that the EPL receives in contrast to other leagues? this is not even sometring wrong. There are plenty of reason to explain. People are seeing that EPL as the most popular league in the world and it's something common to see that EPL got very big amounts of money.

Furthermore, the English Premier League (EPL) has received substantial sums of money from the personal funds of club owners. People are always concerning how big received or spent by the league without remember that if there was no owner who backed the club.

Real Madrid is a club that has a habit of re-engaging with coaches who have already been their coach. Don Carlo is also a coach who has coached them before and in recent seasons Ancelotti returned to the arms of Real Madrid before finally being confirmed to separate. So with habits like those of Real Madrid, Zidane's chances of becoming head coach are likely. It's just that until now I still haven't heard news about Zidane whether he will soon return to his activities as a coach or not.
Talking about the players Zidane needs, it seems only he knows it, because if you look at the current Real Madrid players there are also many good players and even young players. and if he wants new players I think Real Madrid will provide what the coach needs.

I would say it's "likely" for him to return of course, but doesn't mean that he will. Remember, he was the one that left them twice, he left them once when they were winning, came back when results weren't that great, and then he left again after winning. That dude didn't look like he really cared about anything that much, it looks like it's going to be something that should not be all that confusing for him to reject.

I hope that we could get to a point where it would be sensible thing to do in the end, I guess they do want their old managers back frequently, but that is not really a must for Zidane, he didn't enjoy the work all that much and aside from the few years he was there, he didn't coached ever again as well, that is a big indicator why he may reject.

I hope you're joking when you say that, because saying a league is best because it has a player in it is not wise in my opinion. Moreover, the SPL has only been popular recently and to say it's the best league is a long way off, so in this case I disagree and agree that the Premier League is the best league at the moment.
Maybe this is just a difference of opinion, but I think there will be many people who agree with me on this, the English League has been the mecca of world football for many years, every season this league always has an attraction for everyone. We also can't judge a league from just one point of view, like players for example. We must be fair in this case to see all aspects that make a league said to be the best league.

The era when clubs focused on developing players rather than splurging on high-priced transfers does evoke a sense of nostalgia for many football fans. The approach of developing and nurturing talent often involves scouting and acquiring players at a reasonable cost that refines their skills within the club, and then potentially selling them at a higher value. The example of Caicedo joining Chelsea is indicative of this business-oriented model.

In an era where many top clubs prioritize immediate success through big-money transfers, Brighton's focus on long-term sustainability and profitability is a strategy that has its merits, fostering financial stability and allowing the club to operate within its means. Brighton's approach has its own set of goals, perhaps focusing on building a strong foundation and securing financial stability. In the ever-evolving landscape of football, where spending has become a norm, clubs like Brighton offer a refreshing alternative that emphasizes a balanced and sustainable business model over immediate success on the pitch.

Everyone has different opinion on this and I can understand all because there are different parameters on which they assess which league is the best for them. I myself for example like to watch PL games dues to their competitiveness but I don't follow other leagues much so to me PL is the best but that's not just right as I haven't seen much of others as well. So for someone to judge properly they should at least watch other leagues as well in order to properly say which league is the best and which is not in my opinion.

The Premier League is considered the mecca of football because it is the best league in the world, it is not surprising that top players really want to play there. Big Premier League clubs always compete to bring in top players every time the transfer market opens, club activity is very busy because they are competing to bring in new players. Now that Manchester City has Haaland, he managed to conquer the Premier League last season with achievements with the club and also individually.

The Premier League is now a Super League, but only for one country. The income of Premier League clubs is higher (on average) than the income of clubs in other leagues and this gap continues to widen. Last year, the last club in the Premier League received more money for television rights than the first club in Serie A. Inconceivable. The dominance of the Premier League in business is undeniable, but unfortunately it was achieved in very controversial ways (even taking into account the fact that all European football is a murky business).

For a long time, England accepted “investments” from such criminal guys as Abramovich, and in those days when he raised Chelsea to the top there was not even a smell of any FFP. By the way, even later, “elite” clubs obviously violated the FFP but did not suffer any punishment. City have been accused of 115 offenses over several years, but only Everton have been punished for one single offence 
I would like to see how strong the Premier League would be if it weren’t for all this criminal background, and the clubs that violated the rules would be punished as strictly as Juventus (which was sent to Serie B once).

By the way, now clubs (not only from the Premier League, but also from the Premier League) are experiencing additional pressure from the Saudis (who have inflated players’ salaries in just a couple of seasons), let’s see what financial consequences this will lead to. Anyone who ends up outside the Champions League loses a lot of money, but there are only 4 places... This race can become deadly

what is certain is that Mbappe is currently still a mystery and what is going on in his mind is difficult to guess, but if it is just my thoughts, Mbappe is thinking about two things, namely money and titles.
so when PSG was given an offer to stay for 1 season, on the one hand, Real Madrid made an offer because this team could take him to the UCL, making Mbappe hesitate to decide and logically if he was thinking about money, he would definitely confirm to the media that he accepted the offer. from PSG but if he thinks about his career he will give information that he will go to Real Madrid but in fact he is just silent and thinking a little confused about where he will go.
and I am sure that if Real Madrid is able to make a big offer, Mbappe will quickly accept the offer because he gets both money and a future career.

I still think that he will leave, I get that some people have some hopes (mainly psg fans) that he may stay, but I still think that he will leave.

However, I do not think that Real Madrid will get him, they may think that he could be too risky, the headache that he brings with all his drama doesn't worth the talent that he brings in. He could leave for some other team and that would be really big deal. Imagine him leaving for like Manchester United next season, if he goes there this summer, he could be the first fire that ignites the return of United, he could make that team so much better, and slowly they could just build a team around him. Doesn't mean they may win, they could still lose, but they will be up for a case at least, and that matters.

It makes sense, regarding certain points of view we cannot influence personal parameters and opinions in relation to the best league, but I would like to invite you to look at the ranking below:

The Premier League is still the best "League", regarding players, coaches and so on, perhaps other top leagues have it. I hope that little helps with the additional information.

EPL is a league where competition is at a higher level than other leagues. That's why it is said to be of better quality than other leagues. It is a league where even the teams at the bottom of the league can surprise and show us the difference with their average squad quality being higher than other teams in Europe. That's why I think they are better quality than the French or Italian league.

PSG is chasing a dream. That dream, of course, as we all know, is the UCL cup. They are transferring young players to achieve this success within 5 years, not this season or next season. The money invested in this player is actually made for his future success. That's why they hope that the players who complete their development in 4-5 years will bring them the cup.

Liverpool and Arsenal are trying to compete to put pressure on Manchester City after dominating the Premier League for so long. The competition will be more exciting if there are players who are Haaland's rivals. I think Mbappe is the player who has the most potential to make the Premier League even more challenging. The rivalry between Ronaldo and Messi is over, now it's time to revive the new rivalry between Mbappe and Haaland. I hope Arsenal and Liverpool can compete to get Mbappe to make the Premier League even more exciting.

Yep, dude you said it right that both Liverpool and Arensel are competing with each other for the battle of the Premier League. But what difference will it make to Manchester City? They are in 4th position. I think Manchester City can't even smell the smell of a trophy from far away because there are two monsters Liverpool and Arensal are battling for each. That means Arensal is still dominating the league table, Manchester city has been weak in the league this time. And dear mate, this point makes some sense that Earling Haaland's rival and competitor is Killyan Mbappe; he has the ability to tassel Haaland; if he goes to Liverpool or Arensal, the competition can be a little bit vibrant. I think Liverpool will be good for Killian Mbappe, if Real Madrid doesn't sign Mbappe, then it is possible that Liverpool is the only one for him in the Premier League, creating an appropriate balance as a good club for Haaland's Mbappe rivery like Messi Ronaldo era.

Yes and some contracts are written specifically for the Premier League when there are release clauses implemented for players. It could say that the player can leave the club for 50m if the buyer comes from Spain or Italy, and the player can leave for 60m if the buyer comes from the Premier League. And yes everyone takes notice of these gigantic broadcasting contracts they negotiate and then it's just comprehensible that the selling clubs use this to their advantage during negotiations and it turns out to be successful because how likely is it that a club will refrain from buying a player when it is a bout 10m more or less for a great talent.

It's only in EPL a certain elite club will spend £100million on a player that's yet to make senior appearance in the club or in a major competition and how come the worth increases rapidly?

I can't confirm from the top of my head that Premier League clubs are paying £100million on a player that's yet to make senior appearance. Is that really the case and can you give an example for a player of that type? I know that Premier League clubs are paying a lot for young players even when they lack major experience, but then it would be wrong to say that only Premier League clubs do this because as far as I know, the record breaking transfer for the youngest player ever, isn't it this Brazilian boy that Real Madrid bought recently? There are some sources stating who was the most expensive player at which age, but I don't know whether those sources are correct. But I know that Real Madrid and Barcelona have also been spending a lot for young players.

Football is now an industry. Therefore, the strategies of teams such as Brighton, Ajax and Dortmund are acceptable. We can also add a few Portuguese teams here. I think Brighton are acting sensibly at the moment. It might be the best thing for them to think about the future of the club and act with a focus on increasing profitability. They are competing very well in the Premier League.

The Premier League is considered the mecca of football because it is the best league in the world, it is not surprising that top players really want to play there.

Incorrect, the best football league is Saudi Professional League since they have Ronaldo, as we know Ronaldo is a GOAT in football.

All leagues in the world are good and each have their separate fan so condemning a certain league is wrong. To some premier league is the best league due to a certain reason probably because of it’s competitive nature and also there are those who believe La liga is the best league probably because they play more possession game than other leagues and there is you who believe Saudi league is the best because Ronaldo plays there and he has influenced other top players to play there as well but if you think Saudi league is the best league because Ronaldo plays there then does that mean you have had 4 different best leagues in the verge of 6 years because Ronaldo have played in 4 different countries Spain, Italy, England and Saudi.

The premier league is the most competitive league and i love it for that reason so IMO i will choose the Premier league over any other league but that doesn’t mean I should start criticizing other leagues.

and I am sure that if Real Madrid is able to make a big offer, Mbappe will quickly accept the offer because he gets both money and a future career.

It is not something new that players keep silent for as long as they can as that is an integral part of their negotiation strategy. Which is ok and I would do it the same way, but Mbappe has to make a major decision in his life whether he wants to be talked about as this talent of the century who wasted his career in France with French titles and a lot of money or whether he wants to be mentioned in the same breath with Messi and Ronaldo. I think this would be his last chance because Messi and Ronaldo played on an incredible level for a while now. He is getting older and older while still playing in France.

He is trying to find the compromise of not leaving Europe while still earning money like a sheikh, which makes PSG his best option. But given that he is a role model, I find it disappointing because all these young kids are looking up to him and would like to see him in one of these globally renowned jersey and I assume first and foremost the Real Madrid one.

De Zerbi will go to Manchester City, next year or in the next 2 years.

Guardiola already "announced" him.

Lol, Pep is still around and he doesn't look set to leave City anytime soon, though anything can happen and Pep could leave earlier than he planned to, but we'll have to wait and see how things pan out. Roberto De Zerbi is doing a great job with Brighton and his pattern of playing is somewhat similar to what City play under Pep's management, so it is possible that he might one day succeed Pep, but quite a lot of things can happen from now until then, so don't be sure things will pan out in the way you predict it.

I think if Pep doesn't want to go, Manchester City management won't send him. If the city of Manchester is remembered with the blue team today, it is thanks to Pep. His reading of the game is at a high level. Even though they fell behind with some questionable referee decisions, they can become a candidate for the championship again with a winning streak like last year.
