⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Fakhrulenclix]

It seems the negotiations between Olivier Giroud and AC Milan were not successful and they are about to lose their player because he is not going to accept the AC Milan offer to extend his contract for a longer, maybe because of financial issues.
Olivier Giroud is now about to leave AC Milan for another team and it seems this player is also linked to MLS teams.
Recently many players they joined Inter Maimi and now Olivier Giroud is about to join this league.

I think it's time because Olivier Giroud is 37 years old and of course his quality will decline.
In football, age is very influential and AC MIlan should look for a suitable replacement in midfield because it is impossible for them to continue to rely on an old player like Olivier Giroud.

MLS and the Saudi Arabian league are currently destinations for players who are no longer young and are no longer able to compete in competitive leagues in Europe, and with the quality of Olivier Giroud still remaining, I'm sure many teams from MLS or Saudi Arabia are still interested to bring it in.

Yes, maybe it's a financial problem, but there are other incentives, such as old age, maybe AC Milan won't want to give a bigger salary to a player who is quite old and maybe MLS will make a much higher offer than Milan and I think It's time for Giroud to think about retirement with a big salary like Messi and Ronaldo, even like Benzema, who left a European club to join another league to get a bigger salary to enjoy after retirement.
It seems that if this news comes true, Milan will feel sad about losing Giroud because he is one of the players they rely on and it is difficult to find a replacement for a player whose skills are equivalent to Giroud.

I think close problem with financial issues AC Milan won't extend Oliver Giroud contract one year later, actually not really expensive with Oliver Giroud salary around 3.5 million euro per season as playing with bigger team AC Milan. Current bad financial faced by Milan they want get top players with lower payment salary and sign as free transfers.

Regarding from Goal.com, Oliver Giroud linked with MLS League teams but its not problem for him because his opportunity keep play with France national team almost close after losing regular position in Milan.
Difficult keep playing with top european team want to pay him around 3.5 million per season although he will be free agent next season, likely interested if any Saudi Pro League teams want to sign him and looking his performance will be success there for stopping Cristiano Ronaldo top scorer dominance?

It could be because of Milan's finances and it could also be because there is Luka Jovic at Milan who has just shown his performance. although Giroud will still be an option for now.
Milan itself is still looking for a striker to replace Giroud, which is definitely a sign that he will not get a contract extension. or maybe there will be another agreement such as a salary reduction, but if Giroud's performance gets better with more goals until the end of the season. It doesn't seem appropriate for Milan to reduce his salary for a contract extension.

It's a big lose if Giroud joining Inter Miami because this team only for ex-Messi's teammates, while Giroud haven't joined a team where Messi was playing. He will get discriminated by many players if he join this team.

He has many choices, he can join Ligue 2 or Saudi Pro League, don't join MLS where the league is small and no one watch it.

I don't agree with you when you said that nobody watches the MLS. It might be that in your region nobody watch the MLS but others are watching it. Giroud will do well if he join Inter Miami and I don't think anyone will discriminate him. There are big names there and it will be a good move for him and playing along side Messi will be great.

Roberto Firmino is said to have an intention to leave Al-Ahli these days. Fulham are rumoured to be interested in him as well. Other than them I have heard of some Turkish teams having an interest in signing him too. I think his first choice would be to return to the English Premier League. Because he can make more money there than he can in Turkey and he is already very familiar with the league. 

I thought he shouldn't have left Liverpool in the first place but of course he must be earning much more money there. But I mean he was doing quite okay at Liverpool and performing even better than Nunez.

He has already won enough silverwares with Liverpool and it was time to see him leave, meanwhile he dropped a huge form and was out Injured fir months last season. It was a good decision for himself and the Brazilian.

He's made a public complain about life as a Saudi Arabian Player which I believe must be the main reason why he's wanting to return back to the Premier League. He was formerly linked with Nothing Forest, I know nothing about Fulham, besides they have Raul Jimenez the former Central Forward for Wolverampton.

Nunuz will score goals, all you have to do is give him time to showcase himself for the reds. I believe whenever Mo Salah leaves he'll have and take full responsibility.

The money that Al-Ahli offered him was quite unrejectable. I can see he is only 32 years old, and it is quite sure that he can perform for 3-4 more years. However, I think returning now to the Premier League will be tough.

I would say he had a bad season in the Saudi pro league considering he had 17 games played and scored only 3 goals. From these bad forms, returning to the Premier League and then performing will be quite difficult. Rather than this, I think he should join the Turkish League. As for the money, you know he would be getting almost the same amount in the Turkish league as he would get in the Premier League. The thing is he actually understood that money is not everything.

You are too demeaning to MLS by saying that no one watches the competition there, maybe the level of enthusiasm of football fans is not like in the top European leagues, but you need to know that every team always has fans who are always loyal to watch the matches played by their favorite team. Moving to MLM is not a bad choice for Giroud, especially since he is 37 years old.

They are professional players, there is no discrimination in the team, every player will always work together for the same goal. Giroud's position as a pure striker will make it easier to finish with experienced teammates, he can have fun at the end of his career with world class players.

There is an update regarding the most expensive players right now. Bellingham has been placing become the most expensive player in the world this time.

Here's the rank

1. Bellingham 268m
2. Haaland 251m
3. Vini 250m

Real madrid are having so many great players in the world. They were always making public got surprises with their perfect performance in the field. Haaland is a bit declining compared to the last season but he keeps compete to score as many goals as possible with salah.
I do agree if madrid players are the most expensive this time. Bellingham was able playing in the various role and he is the best attacking midfielder and striker at the same time right now.

I can imagine if mbappe will be agreed to join in the club. There will be amazing performance to be showed by them all. Im still awaiting mbappe to join in real madrid soon.
Ancellotti has been planning to create the best club in the world. Madrid can get mbappe easily once he will leave from PSG as free agent.

Comeone mbappe, you can go to the real madrid. It's the only best team for you.

Manchester City is not actually bad in terms of squad. I think his backups are also very good, at least for a backup. Even though they did not get exactly the results they wanted in the Premier League this year, I see their future bright. When they get in shape towards the end of the league, they win consecutive victories and continue to be championship favorites.

They are not bad but they still need more squad depth because for a team that won a treble last season they should be able to do more and have more quality players incase of any injury crisis like they have this season. They are experiencing hardship because some key players are missing out due to injuries, i just hope Guardiola will notice this and add more quality players to solve the issue of squad depth.

They are far from being the League favorites this season but you can’t just write them off just yet, Guardiola can not be underestimated as we have seen him multiple times turnover from such struggling situations so we should out for him this season though i know Liverpool will not give up on this race easily, they are a team that can challenge him and will make it even harder for Manchester City to defend their title.

He has many choices, he can join Ligue 2 or Saudi Pro League, don't join MLS where the league is small and no one watch it.

Giroud contract will ended at the end of this season but he doesn't rush to extended his contract with Milan because he will decide his future at this team on April this year so there is a chances for him to stayed at Milan but indeed with his current age Milan won't give him long duration contract and possibly Milan will only give 1 year contract extension to him and i think it's time for Milan to look for other striker which younger and more good than him and Giroud was refuse Saudi Arabian clubs last summer because he decide to stayed at Milan until this season over but indeed if he leave Milan Giroud personally will choose MLS instead of Saudi Pro League

There was a rumour Milan will not buy new striker this winter because recently Luka Jovic has been showing impressive performance and he was scores 5 goals in the last 7 matches in all competitions with Milan and after seeing these record Milan will thinking possibility to give this player contract extension however if i am not mistaken previously Milan was get Luka Jovic with free transfer from Fiorentina and Milan only give him 1 year contract which mean until at the end of this season and if this rumour is true then Luka Jovic will stayed much longer at Milan

[Coyster]

Comeone mbappe, you can go to the real madrid. It's the only best team for you.

Lol, i think Mbappe knows what's best for him, and with his latest statement on his future, i don't think he'd be leaving in January, prolly in the summer, there's no reason why any club would want to sign him now, when they can wait for 5-6 months and get him for free. It is PSG's loss if Mbappe leaves for free in the summer, they have had many chances to make money from the sale of the Frenchman, but they have delayed and kept on giving him new contracts that are worth so much, and now only to lose him for free.

Having said that, i can't think of any team that can get Mbappe, other than Real Madrid; i know there are rumors linking him to Liverpool, but i don't think Liverpool would be ready to take care of Mbappe's wages, it is either he joins Real Madrid in the summer or he signs a new contract with the French champions.

Actually, looking at the current conditions, it will actually be beneficial for Giroud when he leaves Milan at the age of 37 which we know is near the end of his age and going to MLS is actually the perfect end if it aims to get a big profit in terms of material at the end of his career.
Giroud could still continue with Milan but it seems that there are some clauses that are not agreed upon which makes this a floating situation and makes Milan seem to be willing to lose Giroud. On the other hand MLS is the destination of players approaching retirement age apart from the SPL because it is indeed an outpouring of resources in terms of salary and other benefits such as property and facilitated security that clearly makes an advantage for those who really want a prosperous end to their finances. Although at the end of the day his career is over right away because it must be difficult to move to another competition but with Giroud's age now I think moving to MLS is still very worth it.

Manchester City is about to give their player Claudio Echeverri to Girona.
This a good news for Girona since they are racing the top of the La Liga table and they need to have another player in their team to have more potential if they are racing with teams like Real Madrid in the table. Claudio Echeverri is a young player and he needs to get more experienced and that's why maybe moving to another team where he can have more chances to play in the games for that team is a good choice for this player.
Barcelona was also interested in Claudio Echeverri but that's now going to be the destination for Claudio Echeverri as they are giving this player on loan to Girona for six months.

 

A wise decision from Manchester City and it will also help in strengthening the mentality of a young player. If I'm not mistaken, Manchester City and Girona have the same ownership and maybe this is what makes the transfer to Girona easier. Even though this is only a loan move, it really helps Girona who are trying to win the La Liga title this season and together with Real Madrid they will fight each other for that title.

Claudio Echeverri under Coach Michel will become an even brighter player and when he returns to Manchester City next season he will become a star player under Pep Guardiola. An advantage of getting more playing minutes elsewhere and will be key at Manchester City in the future. Can't wait to see the debut of this young man from Argentina.

Yes, the majority shareholders of Girona are City Football Group and Manchester City's shareholders are also City Football Group. If this news is true, then it is going to be a very good move I believe. Girona are fighting for the championship in La Liga, recently beating Atletico Madrid. He will get used to the fight mentality and high intensity play of Europe. I believe within 6 months or a year, he will get ready for Europe.

But what I don't know is if he has a place in the Manchester City Squad. They have adequate midfielders right now. Look at Kalvin Phillips, sitting at Manchester City and doing nothing. On the other hand, they also have shown interest in buying Joshua Kimminch. So I don't know if there is a place for him in that squad. I know Claudio Echeverri is an attacking midfielder and Phillips and Kimminch are defensive mid, but when you have this much player, I don't think there is a place for him.

It's unlikely Giroud will move to the Arab League, he never seemed to like that. Giroud is a player who has played with many big teams such as Arsenal and Chelsea, so it's no wonder why he is still being targeted by many big clubs outside Europe. Talking about Inter Miami, the news has been that since 202, Inter Miami has persuaded Giroud to join the team but the deal never happened because Giroud still prefers to play in Europe, it is very likely that if Giroud doesn't extend his contract then he will go to Inter Miami

It could be said that there are quite a lot of spectators for the MLS League, it's just that the level of enthusiasm for this league is different from other top European leagues. For me, the question is not a loss or not, but whether there is an opportunity for Giroud other than joining the team there, because without an opportunity there may not be a more interesting discussion other than accepting the offer. It was said that Cristiano Ronaldo was quite crazy when he decided to join the Saudi Arabian League, but now we can see the effect of his arrival in the league. Although perhaps Giroud does not have the ability to influence the world of football like Cristiano Ronaldo.

Giroud is no longer young and maybe if he has the opportunity he should join the Saudi Arabian League. It cannot be denied that discrimination still exists in football, but because the league rules are strict, the players are quite protected. Giroud is just waiting for the rest of his career at this age and I think the choice to play in the MLM league is not too bad.

Im gonna mention and old news https://onefootball.com/en/news/corsera-giroud-rejected-advances-of-saudi-sides-to-stay-at-milan-37919386

You can read that if giroud has ever rejected the first offer from saudi pro league. He may be agreed to join in SPL once acmilan will not need him anymore but it seems like milan is still need him right now.
The chance of hi to join in SPL is pretty small. Acmilan needs to kick him out to make giroud realize that if SPL can also become the final place to end his career. I do support milan if the club will be trying to kick him but it's not for this time.

Acmilan is only having him as the best striker owned by the club. The secondary striker was far worse than him and it has become the main reason from milan to let him stay much longer in the club.
The management can change their decision anytime and this is the possible reason to push him join in the saudi pro league club. Giroud will never play at milan forever.

The worst thing to see him announce his retirement as a footballer. We need to wait for the further update regarding the development of him in the serie a.

Recently many players they joined Inter Maimi and now Olivier Giroud is about to join this league.

I think it's time because Olivier Giroud is 37 years old and of course his quality will decline.
In football, age is very influential and AC MIlan should look for a suitable replacement in midfield because it is impossible for them to continue to rely on an old player like Olivier Giroud.

MLS and the Saudi Arabian league are currently destinations for players who are no longer young and are no longer able to compete in competitive leagues in Europe, and with the quality of Olivier Giroud still remaining, I'm sure many teams from MLS or Saudi Arabia are still interested to bring it in.

Age sometimes affects a players performance but that doesn't mean that any player who is getting old should move to the MLS or Saudi league unless if it's the players choice to move to those leagues. Okay, does moving to those leagues improves their performance? Maybe yes because we see those leagues as mediocre leagues but however an old player can perform at anywhere just that there's gonna be a decline in their performance compared to when they were much younger so for Olivier Giroud, he can move to any club he wishes to go to.

I started watching Olivier Giroud from his days at Arsenal before he went to Chelsea and now playing for AC Milan and all I can say about the France international is that he's won every trophy a player is expected to win and if he decides to leave Europe at this moment, then I don't think it'll be bad move. I don't expect AC Milan to continue to pay huge wages to a player of Olivier Giroud's age and I believe the reason behind the two parties failure to reach an agreement will definitely have to do with the financial offers from the club.

Moving to Saudi Arabia at this time of his career wouldn't be a bad idea for the France national team record scorer. We're in the second half of the season and that means that he'll be free to move out from San Siro in the next five months. I'll be looking forward to see where he'll be heading next.

He has many choices, he can join Ligue 2 or Saudi Pro League, don't join MLS where the league is small and no one watch it.

It will be a big boost for Inter Milan especially as they are challenging for Italian Seria A title. Inter Milan will want any player that will increase their scoring ability in which Olivier Giroud is one of them; he is a lucky striker that have good goal scoring ratio even though he is not starting for most of his teams. If Inter sign him, he will be a winning goal scorer for them and will help the team in their title race against Juventus.

[Jessie2121]

Manchester United are having that assurance of getting new players in this January transfer window but getting players isn't going to solve the problem even with Chelsea. To me they shouldn't go for any player but try to organize themselves, Manchester United have Greenwood that can change the outcome of the team but they intend to go for ex-Chelsea player Timo Werner, to me Manchester United have players who have same ability as this player Werner so is of no need. For Chelsea they too don't need to start struggling with Arsenal to get Ivan Tony because is not really going to change anything. To me if they eventually get Tony, he's going to struggle with the team and some players would still be on the bench, is best to sell some players before getting new ones.

To me if they eventually get Tony, he's going to struggle with the team and some players would still be on the bench, is best to sell some players before getting new ones.

The transfer window will soon get very hot,as different teams will be struggling to get thesame player at their respective clubs,just as Arsenal and Chelsea are fighting it hard to get Ivan Toney,so are other clubs fighting over different players too.For Manchester United,they already have a good team to me,and I will still say it that what is lacking in that team is how the coach manages them,he has not been able to bring out the best in most of those players,he brought in Sancho and Antony to be top wingers that would be terrific to defenders,but so far,they haven't been able to produce the best of themselves,and why they bought them.For Chelsea,I think they are building something incredible with the young players,and with time,they would blend and start getting good results.

[temple]

But when did Sancho articulate that he is bigger than the club or when did he behave and through his behavior imply that he is bigger than the club? He hasn't had any problems when he played at Borussia Dortmund. Fining him for not being punctual, well there are many players who have been dealing with these minor issues. It wasn't that bad I guess or otherwise Dortmund wouldn't take him back now.

As for Ronaldo we can't verify it anyway. Anything he said about the club and what happened allegedly, who knows which version is true. But obviously ten Hag has more problems with players than other coaches. Mourinho can be an asshole as well, but ten Hag is the guy who thinks he is bigger than the club.

I like your sentence, Mourinho presents himself as an arrogant man but he can present a European trophy for the club. Meanwhile, Ten Hag seemed annoying to fans, being strict with players and looking for scapegoats for every problem. There are many reasons he has put forward regarding United current inconsistency in performance, but I think The Red Devils fans no longer believe after being disappointed too often. I think replacing Ten Hag is a solution that must be done immediately, because keeping him for a long time has the potential to increase friction in the dressing room.

If management still trusts Ten Hag, then United will need several seasons to win the EPL trophy under his leadership. While Ronaldo and Sancho are the only two players who have clashed with Ten Hag publicly, we don't know exactly how many other players are unhappy with him at the moment. It seems that Ten Hag has lost his luck at Old Trafford, all his efforts have led to the decline of the team, even recruiting new players cannot immediately improve their performance to be consistent in their next matches.

Publicly like a big clash yes, that was Ronaldo and Sancho, but there have been lots of rumors that he isn't getting along very well with players in general. At least you can see that some players have a declining performance and I think he is part of the problem. They are all super professionals and it shouldn't impact them too much if their coach is a bit of an idiot, but it is definitely not helpful in working towards their goals if they have a shitty coach. And ten Hag is not someone who is part of the top level league in coaching. He is quite average I think and he has this inner drive to solve lots of problems publicly to demonstrate his power.
