⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Majestic-milf]

 Tottenham Hotspur have drawn the carpet under Man UTD as they're close to signing a season long loan deal for RB Leipzig attacker, Timo Werner. The German will be looking to play his trade in England once again after his stint at Chelsea in 2021 and although many believe his coming is timely since Son Heung Min will be out for the Asian Cup competition and James Madison is out due to a ligament injury but personally, I doubt if he'd be able to settle down fully at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium seeing as he struggled to do so when he was at Chelsea.
 Ange Postecoglou's patten of play is fast paced and free flowing, full of attacks. Can Timo Werner blend to that pattern of play? He has had 18 goals in 53 games at RB Leipzig, I just wonder if he'd be able to do better when he comes to Tottenham Hotspur.

I think what Fabrizio has said about Mbappe is more than enough for us to say what state they are in right now. Mbappe won't be leaving PSG anytime soon or at least this January. Mbappe's camp has said that he has not decided yet and since it's already 1 week in January. If the move were to happen, we would have already heard something from Fabrizio or some other rumors. Although we have heard something about them, Fabrizio's statement makes it clear that nothing is going on between them.

So, are the rumors of a move to Real Madrid over this season?
I don't see Mbappe as Real Madrid's most wanted striker so far, even if Mbappe wants to go there. Real Madrid haven't tried to sign Mbappe so far and I don't see them making him an offer, but the rumors will persist until Mbappe is no longer in PSG uniform.

Apart from Real Madrid, I think Kylian Mbappe also has the potential to join one of the Premier League teams. Of course we don't know where we will play, but what is clear is that PSG will not let Mbappe go without profit. If possible, I would like to see Mbappe at Arsenal if he really wants to move to the Premier League.

Whether that will happen or not we just have to wait to see how this develops because when we look at the rumours and news that are happening now it is actually very confusing and we know that even though there are some reports about some clubs such as Madrid or Liverpool who are said to be in communication with Mbappe but I think this is where we have to be wise and not get carried away with the cheap traffic created by some media because whether Mbappe goes or not everything will be answered when the time comes, it's just that for now we still have to wait and be smart to find news whose sources can be trusted.
Until now I still hold Fabrizio's words because of his track record which can be trusted in reference to what he has reported and in his tweets until now Mbappe still does not discuss his future and I am quite confident in that.

Exactly most of the pages are filled with baseless and useless information. Finally I've come across some sensible words, and normally I'll reserve my judgment until Mbappe officially statement to any future deal. I believe most of stories are fake unless confirmed by reliable sources like Fabrizio. Mbappe hasn't made a decision about his future yet, and the highly anticipated transfer to Spain is still pending.........

I think he's still not saying anything seriously because he still wants to keep all his options open. Not only about which team he is going to go but also about whether he is actually going to leave or not.  And I think he might actually be instructed to not talk about that. But it doesn't that go on the opposite direction for him? Because talking about him much more should be able to make his market value more right? Do let me know if I'm wrong.

I think this is going to stay uncertain and in the end, he's going to stay in PSG for the money. And the coach will also be able to make him stay.

[Coyster]

PSG will lose big time if they allow Mbappe to leave for free in the summer. Of a truth this Mbappe transfer has been lingering for long and no one knows exactly what's happening. Real Madrid will be very good for him but I think PSG don't want to sell Mbappe to real Madrid. I heard Liverpool are interested in signing him but I don't think Liverpool willing to his transfer fees.

I don't know what the hierarchy at PSG is thinking about the Mbappe saga, they really should have sold him a long time ago, but it is fine if they made a mistake and kept him until this time, but they should know that this January is their last chance to sell him, they have spent so much money on Mbappe, both on salary/wages and also other numerous bonuses, it is foolish on their part not to get anything if the Frenchman leaves the club. If i were Real Madrid's owner i'd not make any move for Mbappe this January, i would basically wait and get him for free.

There is still no clear news at the moment about Conte and Napoli, but I read in the past that Conte rejected Napoli not because of salary but because he wanted to take a break with his family and he has no intention of returning in the near future, this was news a few months ago, of course it will change if the situation is now in the transfer window.

Indeed, the previous salary at Tottenham Conte got 15 million per season this is much bigger and Napoli bid smaller, but there is a link maybe from the session offered by Napoli it's just that Conte refused subtly and wanted to be with family.

If he returns to Serie A it might be better, I'm sure Conte is a genius coach.

Yes there is still hope for Conte in Serie A because Napoli needs a coach with a clever way of thinking and if Conte takes up the offer he might be able to produce his trademark Premier League game. The last thing I remember is that Conte frustrated Jurgen Klopp so that Liverpool had to lose to Spurs. So with Napoli now having a squad not far from Spurs, it certainly won't be difficult to improve the team. Having Osimhen as an ambitious striker should be put to good use. Napoli really needs a suitable coach to fix the setback in Serie A.

[masulum]

Can i call that as a karma? I can't really blame whole of people in the club for this but napoli's president shall be blamed caused by this. This is why he was apologizing for the wrong -snip-
It proves that spalletti was the true power of napoli. No spalleti and no win. I didn't realize that spalletti was the key to destroy napoli.

We can't claim that, maybe when Spalletti was coach of Napoli, it was his best season in Serie A. It's possible that if he stay in Napoli, this season will experience something similar (struggling). Sometimes we can see coaches who fail in their second season, this cannot be attributed to karma or anything. This is a mystery in the world of sports. Allegri also felt the same thing at AC Milan, when he succeeded give Milan Serie A championship trophy, the following season AC Milan struggled, after trying to keep him, Allegri was fired because he was deemed to have failed. This could happen to Spalletti if he stay. Resigning after presenting the trophy allowed Spalletti to end his sweet story with Napoli, and that was the right decision.

Today there are rumors that are still hard to believe because Kylian Mbappe is willing to join Real Madrid in the summer. Maybe there are still many of us who don't believe that this rumor is true, but considering that the person who reported it was one of the credible journalists from France, namely Santi Aouna, then this is true. Some people also think that Santi Aouna's report was quite influential regarding Kylian Mbappe's survival last season at PSG so that people started to worry that the news reported by Santi Aouna would really happen in the summer.

Now it's still not clear to see and everyone is still waiting for "Here we go" from Fabrizio Romano and I think that also makes perfect sense considering that only he can be used as a benchmark for a successful transfer. But let's just see, if Santi Aouna's report is corroborated by Fabrizio Romano, we will definitely see the results this summer.

I also read this news published by one of the local media which was taken from Foot Mercato, the transfer drama which has been very difficult to process has finally come to light, Mbappe has finally reached an agreement to join Real Madrid in the summer of 2024. In the last few transfer market periods, Mbappe has always been Real Madrid main target, because PSG does not want to part with Mbappe, making it difficult for Real Madrid to secure his signature.

Mbappe attitude of not being willing to sign a new contract to extend his tenure with PSG, finally the club gave in and opened up for Mbappe departure and also gave hope to Real Madrid. PSG has also allowed Mbappe to meet with other teams to discuss a transfer agreement, we'll just have to wait and see how the process goes and when this transfer will be made official.

I sometimes feel confused about Mbappe's transfer, where there is still no certainty and the media reports are sometimes only exaggerated and what makes me worry is drama like last season which made everyone disappointed.
If we think logically it makes sense for Mbappe to join Real Madrid because he is a player who has high quality talent and Mbappe's name is already a star player and that is the reason it makes sense if he can join the right club to be able to achieve higher titles of course. his future career will be better.
I also think that even though PSG is one of the clubs with very stable finances, this club should not want to lose money and sell Mbappe in the January transfer market, whereas if they had to wait for June they would definitely leave freely.
From all this, I might hope that Mbappe joins Real Madrid but don't expect too much because I'm worried about being disappointed again.

A latest news from ESPN has also added Liverpool in the race with Real Madrid for the star boy K. Mbappe but from all indications it miht probably end as another media drama with PSG still retaining Mbappe till next transfer window by june. In any case he fails to leave PSG to madrid this time I'll suggest Madrid should gladly move on for they have the best talents in the likes of Vini Jnr, Belligham, Rodrygo and camavinga put together capable to compete and win major trophies in Europe with or without Mbappe. If truly Mbappe is aiming for major trophies in his career then Real Madrid is the right destination for him not Liverpool.

It's a good example. Mbappe should come to Real Madrid if he wants to win an international cup. Liverpool is a big team, of course they can achieve success there too, but the probability of achieving this with Real Madrid is higher. Of course, he will decide this himself. I'm sure he will make a great contribution to whichever team he goes to.

Conte refused again Napoli.

They offered 8m year salary, he just said no for the 3rd time in 3 months.

Remembers me to my girlfriend. She had refused me three dates and then said yes the fourth time. Today we're in a relationship I still have hope for Conte and Napoli.

But seriously: Conte currently has much better options abroad and I think that's where he'll go again. If things don't go so well in his career one time, he can always return to Italy and join Napoli.

The German will be looking to play his trade in England once again after his stint at Chelsea in 2021 and although many believe his coming is timely since Son Heung Min will be out for the Asian Cup competition and James Madison is out due to a ligament injury but personally, I doubt if he'd be able to settle down fully at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium seeing as he struggled to do so when he was at Chelsea.

Timo  Wener is a very good player and a good signing for Totthenham if he happens to finally makes that move.He was at Chelsea and didn't actually do anything much at Standford bridge,but every coach has a way of bringing out the best in a player.Maybe Totthenham's coach have already known that he will be a good addition to his squad,and will also be a better addition to his fast method of playing.Upfront,I see Totthenham as a better team,if I were their coach,I will rather improve in the midfield,atleast two midfielder plus Timo Wener will be okay to say they can remain competitive in the premier league.

Statistically there is always luck and it is free to try.😅

Napoli lost a lot of momentum after Spaletti. Conte could be the right name for them. But we know that Conte has rejected their offers every time. I think Igor Tudor could be a good name for them. There were reports that Napoli were interested in him for a while. He did great things in France last year with Marseille. He proved himself there. He showed everyone that he has the ability to work with teams at the next level.

At the same time, don’t you think that PSG are not so foolish to have spent such an huge amount of money on him and at the end they won’t stand to get anything from the Frenchman? The same thing happened last season and Mbappe was forced to extend his contract because they wouldn’t want to lose him for free after spending so much on him. I also feel that Mbappe will not want to betray PSG by leaving as a free player if his contract expires. I’m just waiting to see how this season will end and what they’ll decide to do with Mbappe if he stays till the end of the season which with all indications looks so.

Conte refused again Napoli.

They offered 8m year salary, he just said no for the 3rd time in 3 months.

So the real problem with Conte rejecting Napoli is whether it has to do with the salary not being suitable or whether he is simply not comfortable being Napoli's coach. I think this is still confusing and there is still no real clarity as to why Conte rejected Napoli. In fact, with the current squad, Conte feels he is able to revive Spalletti's legacy, especially as Conte is also Italian, so it will be easier to manage this club because he has the same habits from his country of origin.

However, if that is true about the salary offered by Napoli, I think they would be better off looking for another experienced coach because 8 million euros per season for a coach is quite large. So no one knows if they will continue to pursue Conte and Napoli must immediately move on from him.

There is still no clear news at the moment about Conte and Napoli, but I read in the past that Conte rejected Napoli not because of salary but because he wanted to take a break with his family and he has no intention of returning in the near future, this was news a few months ago, of course it will change if the situation is now in the transfer window.

If he returns to Serie A it might be better, I'm sure Conte is a genius coach.

Well thank you man, finally I have a clear view of why Conte rejected the offer from Napoli and yes it all comes back to money which can make someone happy wherever they are. I think Conte is also smart in what he does and uses his family as a shield for this subtle rejection. This is a powerful move to overcome feelings of discomfort or embarrassment towards the team that hopes for him.

I don't think they will be able to increase their salary offer here and considering that Napoli's finances are not that good compared to Spurs, that's the maximum they can offer Conte. I think Conte will also continue to look for bidders from rich teams to be able to give him the salary he wants and while waiting for that he will just relax with his family.

Conte refused again Napoli.

They offered 8m year salary, he just said no for the 3rd time in 3 months.

The compensation provided is irrelevant; what matters is the club's viewpoint; can they stand strong enough to confront their fears? Napoli is a quality club, but they are finding it difficult to handle top-tier encounters up front. Aurelio De Laurentiis, the president of Napoli, has ensured that his squad becomes a competitive and strong team in the Seria A. Chelsea was fortunate to have Antonio Conte as head coach, and his presence was felt in all matches for the Blues. Antonio Conte is one of football's finest coaches and he preferred to stay mute on his decision of choosing a club.

This is no surprise at all as few other players like Firmino have expressed disappointment in their move to the Saudi league saying it has not been favorable since they joined. A move back to the EPL could really benefit him knowing how much experience of the league he already has and a side like Newcastle, Fulham or Crystal Palace could really favor him, he would get playing time and the respect he deserves.

This is gonna be hurting the reputation of saudi pro league. If those guys will be coming back to the EPL then the european players must be thinking for twice before try to join in the club. I meant that if in fact, ronaldo has been building this thing slowly but i think that those players will be giving bad perspective about saudi pro league. This will be hurting the league caused by they will be feeling even more difficult to get the new player from european competition. I think that this news is a negative news for saudi pro league.

Ronaldo and other clubs have been starting to build the reputation from this league since last season and the bad review from all of players who comeback to the EPL will become a boomerang for saudi pro league.
The negative aspect lies in the management of the club, which plays a crucial role in maintaining the club's reputation and ensuring that its players feel confident and comfortable. There may be more players to leave from there.
Mitrovic potentially back to the european competition someday, he was still showing impressive performance despite his age which was more than 30 years.

I mean not really? I do not think that any player went there thinking that they would have an easy time, we all knew that the cultures for exactly the opposite, and that is why it wouldn't feel right.

We are talking about people who grew up on totally different culture, and Saudi Arabia, even though I may get some hatred for saying this, is not as "independent" as it may feel like, the rules are a bit more strict there, you have to at least agree that there are more things banned there that footballers were allowed in nations like UK, so it might take time to adjust but also if we would like to support the Saudi clubs, none of the players went there for a holiday, they were paid top dollar, more money than they could make rest of their career for a single season, they should also be professionals and give their all, for money that much the clubs deserve it.

So, are the rumors of a move to Real Madrid over this season?
I don't see Mbappe as Real Madrid's most wanted striker so far, even if Mbappe wants to go there. Real Madrid haven't tried to sign Mbappe so far and I don't see them making him an offer, but the rumors will persist until Mbappe is no longer in PSG uniform.

Apart from Real Madrid, I think Kylian Mbappe also has the potential to join one of the Premier League teams. Of course we don't know where we will play, but what is clear is that PSG will not let Mbappe go without profit. If possible, I would like to see Mbappe at Arsenal if he really wants to move to the Premier League.

Whether that will happen or not we just have to wait to see how this develops because when we look at the rumours and news that are happening now it is actually very confusing and we know that even though there are some reports about some clubs such as Madrid or Liverpool who are said to be in communication with Mbappe but I think this is where we have to be wise and not get carried away with the cheap traffic created by some media because whether Mbappe goes or not everything will be answered when the time comes, it's just that for now we still have to wait and be smart to find news whose sources can be trusted.
Until now I still hold Fabrizio's words because of his track record which can be trusted in reference to what he has reported and in his tweets until now Mbappe still does not discuss his future and I am quite confident in that.

There have also been rumors about Mbappe being linked with Liverpool. So I guess if he were to join the Premier League he would probably join Liverpool. And it seems logical as Salah is also rumored to be leaving after the end of the current season.

Now the thing is that Ancelotti has said that he won't be recruiting any new players this season. It is true that they need a world class number 9 and I don't see any world class number 9 right now except Haaland and Mbappe.

If Mbappe does not join then I don't think there is any reason for them to recruit another number 9 because they already got Joselu who is getting the job done as an average number 9.

So if Real Madrid were to recruit any new number 9, I think that would have to be Mbappe or someone who is closer to his skill. And to be honest, currently, I don't see anyone close to his skillset.

[un_rank]

Now the thing is that Ancelotti has said that he won't be recruiting any new players this season. It is true that they need a world class number 9 and I don't see any world class number 9 right now except Haaland and Mbappe.

Victor Osimehn is currently a world class number 9. I'll take him inbtha position over Mbappe whose preferred position is coming in from the left flank.

With all the rumours and speculations around Mbappe, clubs would be hesitant to throw themselves into the mix to sign him until maybe he becomes out of contract with PSG.

Timo Werner is going to Tottenham Hotspur. He leaves Germany and gets a chance until the end of the season. If he does well, Tottenham have an option to buy him for around 15 - 20 million euros. Timo Werner has already been in the Premier League, at Chelsea FC for two years 2020-2022. He hasnt play well in this years and returned to RB Leipzig. Now a new chance and I think he will do better.

Timo Werner is indeed a very good player, he was just too unlucky in the Chelsea squad. I think he is better than Nickolas Jackson who is the current striker for Chelsea. He was just unlucky in the Chelsea squad. He was the bait in the Chelsea squad thus he scored less goals than he should have. Many people judge him by the stats and not by what his roles were in the team. His role was to lure the defenders and make spaces for other forwards and midfielders and I think he has done an excellent job there.

He has already picked up his form in Leipzig and I think now that Son is gone for the AFC Asia Cup he will be able to fill the void created due to the absence of Son. And in the future when Son returns, I cannot wait to see what Son and Werner do together.

He is a decent replacement and thats it. He wont replace Son and obviously if you look at his statistic, he scored 9 goals on 27 apps and that is very decent for a 27 years old player which is considered as a prime age for most strikers. On 2019/2020 season, his last season with Leipzig before he moved to Chelsea he scored 34 goals in total so obviously its either he is not good enough for EPL standard or he was just unlucky with Chelsea
