⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[X-ray]

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.

There are too many rumors about Mbappe, it is not very surprising because he is a favorite striker. He is linked with some EPL clubs such as Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham, or even Man United. He is also linked with Barcelona as well. Regarding the rumor of Mbappe to join Liverpool, I don't think it will happen if Real Madrid still expects to sign him. Although Salah moves to Saudi league, it won't increase the chance to sign Mbappe. Mbappe knows his main target is to join Real Madrid.

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.

Yes, it is because Real Madrid president (Perez) already stated it first. They only want to sign Mbappe or another top striker after this season is over. However, it is not impossible if Real Madrid signs Mbappe faster because they have a big intention to win La Liga or UCL title this season.

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.

No, Joselu isn't good enough to be the number 9. He rarely got the chance to play as a starter, it means Ancelotti still can't rely on him to be the machine goal of Real Madrid. We can understand it because we saw Joselu wasted many chances of goal's opportunities in some matches. It proved that his ability isn't good enough to be Real Madrid main striker (number 9).

Barcelona ought to be spared from the pursuit of Mbappe's transfer. Why should Barcelona be spared from pursuing Mbappe's transfer when his transfer fee is exorbitant? Preventing the transfer of Mbappe to equal the current salary of 72 million euros per year at PSG would undoubtedly be a burden. Barcelona's current financial predicament is characterized by a plethora of debts. Consequently, many players are either sold or have their salaries reduced. If not, they will be sold.

This is a non sense thing to talk about how barcelona was trying to pursuit him. The club must always deal with the financial fair play caused by it was being overloed and how can we talk barcelona to sign mbappe? it's caused by barcelona needs to offload its financial fair play amounts to get new player registered into the league. It's impossible to bring mbappe coz he has also very high salary which impossible to be paid by barcelona. Even barcelona has projected to sell some of important players like araujo or even pedri. This means bad for the club caused by they will lose their key players but these players can help the club to raise a lot of money and this is the possible solution to be taken by barcelona soon. Im not seeong other alternative solution owner by barcelona then selling the players.
Buy mbappe? forget it coz it was just a dream for barcelona. Real madrid is still remain strongest team to get him after he will leave from PSG with free agent as his new status next season. Im not doubting it coz eral madrid has very high FFP to be loaded.
It's possible to pay mbappe with a very high salary like what he wanted.

Jordan Henderson will have the opportunity to return to playing in Europe because Ajax Amsterdam expressed interest in signing the English player if he gets the green light from his current club to leave the club but Henderson has not said yes because he is still waiting for other options. https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1744705766571811317
I think this is a good opportunity for Henderson to return to Europe because in the Saudi pro league he is not at a good enough club, Al Ettifaq has not managed to win in the last eight matches in the Saudi Pro league, but maybe Henderson hopes for a better club than Ajax but the question is whether Al Ettifaq will let him go.

Differences in culture, weather and atmosphere are the reasons why Jordan Henderson does not feel comfortable staying with Al Ettifaq until his contract expiry and without half season he want leaves Saudi Pro League competition. It too short journey for Liverpool former Jordan Henderson although he has large payment salary with Al Ittifaq than his previous club Liverpool. I don't think not all europe players not comfortable with atmosphere or weather in Saudi Arabia because Cristiano Ronaldo have been two season but keep comfortable and adapt well with culture there.
Return to the top european teams seems difficult for Jordan Henderson and I think Ajax Amsterdam is good choose for him but need agreement to reduce his salary payment before than receiving with Al Ittifaq.

Jordan Henderson's name is called with some Turkish teams as well. He is 33 years old and I think he can be useful for Turkish teams for a couple of years at least. We have seen many examples of solid players joining one of the teams in the Turkish Super League after the age of 30. Henderson could also be one of those players if he would like to.

Fenerbahce and Galatasaray are fighting hard for the league title there so maybe one of them would be interested in him seriously to make their midfield stronger. Especially Galatasaray would make use of him while Ndombele is likely to leave.

Well, one thing is for sure, he is going to get a lower salary from Ajax. Actually, he's going to get less salary from almost anything that he is going to go to except for the Saudi pro league. No club is going to actually waste money like that.

But one thing is, it will probably be a better competitive situation for him. And I believe he has also said that he is not liking it in the Saudi pro league. So probably this is the best decision for him even if he has to take a little less salary. Well, it is not going to be "little less". But it is what it is. He is also pretty old at this point. So he does not have much time to play as a very competitive player for a long period of time.

I've actually not read about the news of Jordan Henderson's return to Europe but if what I'm seeing here is true, I think it might not be a good return for the England international. Since he moved to Saudi Arabian club Al Ettifaq last summer, the England international have been not been too effective like he used to be and his club is currently not in a good form so leaving them and returning to Ajax who plays in a league that requires more energy than his current league might be a difficult one for him.

I'm not trying to say he won't perform well if he returns back to Europe but I'm trying to say that considering his current age and athletism, he might be effective again like the Henderson we all saw at Liverpool but if he can still come back to Europe and deliver impressive performances again, then a return wouldn't be a bad idea

Joselu has contract until next June and of course there will be loan extension or even purchase taking place to be able to actually acquire the player with Espanyol ownership.
So far he hasn't performed too badly and Joselu has provided several goals and assists for Real Madrid, this is quite a good achievement for his performance and contribution as striker.
Maybe Mbappe will be able to use serial number 9 but Joselu himself can still use another jersey number because if Joselu has to leave for Mbappe arrival it will also be quite detrimental for Real Madrid.
Ancelotti will have several ways to retain Joselu and continue to try to recruit Mbappe, one of France best players who will soon leave PSG.
I believe there will be the best solution regarding the number 9 jersey problem that Mbappe will use if he plays with Real Madrid.

Even though his contribution at Madrid wasn't too much, at least Joselu didn't disappoint us while playing on the field. Maybe Ancelotti plan from the start was to borrow him until he actually got a main striker to replace Benzema. Moreover, the news we heard this year is that Madrid is definitely looking for the right replacement. I wouldn't expect Mbappe because 2x giving false hope made Madrid learn a lot of things. A club as elite and rich as Madrid must continue to uphold its reputation. This is the first time a young, shining player has rejected Madrid in a quite surprising way after confirming that he would go to Madrid last season. Everyone already knows and is now disappointed with his decision. But back to Madrid future, what I see at the moment is that Joselu is only a temporary player who will be returned to Espanyol.

I absolutely agree about Joselu! I mean it was clear from the beginning that nobody could expect Joselu to play on the world's best strikers level as he was already 33 years old and didn't play for one of the best clubs for the most part of his career. It would be unfair to compare him to Ronaldo or to the best year Benzema ever had. But when we look at the performances he delivered, I think he really did a great job. In 25 games he scored 9 goals and gave 2 assists and keep in mind (!), he only played one half on average per game. The number of his participations in all the goals scored is almost 50% when he only plays 50% of a game. That's very solid in my opinion.

He is often played as an option and sometimes it is not uncommon for him to play as a substitute for a spare actually with a score of 5 goals and 2 assists at his age which is not too young anymore I think it is still quite appropriate for Joselu because after all he must know that his priority during his loan at Madrid this time is only to be a coating and contribute his best when he is trusted to play by Ancelotti.

This season Madrid made a breakthrough by not putting a pure striker in their squad and until now it is still going according to plan as for the problem of finding a main striker who really fits Madrid and in accordance with the criteria for Benzema's replacement this is definitely not something easy so Madrid's current steps are quite right by not rushing to find players who have the type as pure strikers because if it is rushed it could also be the result is not very good.

Joselu did not perform as well as Real Madrid expected from Joselu, and it cannot be said that Real Madrid performed too poorly considering the position,the star performed averagely after the departure of one of the main strikers. Karim Benzema was one of Real Madrid's best strikers and most of the goals came from him but after his departure Real Madrid failed to find a new best striker to replace him. I say failed because they considered Mbappe to replace Karim Benzema but they couldn't complete the deal with Mbappe. Mbappe is fully responsible for the contract not being completed because he prioritizes money every season.

Real Madrid might not have spent so much time chasing any other player, but on the contrary, Mbappe is the star, so this club is still waiting for him. But next season, something positive is definitely going to come with Real Madrid and Mbappe's deal.

[Furious 7]

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.

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.

The problem in this case is in the contract. It does not matter that he continues to wait until whenever about the future he will go but on the other hand it will not make PSG a favorable position because in any case seeing from what is happening now for the Mbappe problem we know that previously there was a drama where PSG tried to ultimatum when he refused to extend the contract.
This will also continue to happen as long as he is at PSG because until now when we see his contract at PSG it is only a few months left because his contract will expire in June this year.


https://www.transfermarkt.com/kylian-mbappe/profil/spieler/342229

Seeing from this situation then indeed even if Mbappe does not matter but PSG clearly will not expect too much because they realize that they definitely do not want to lose big money to sell this player.

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.

It also became a hot rumor but there was another statement from Klopp when they said that they would never sell Salah for now it seems that it could also be an answer even if there is a good offer like last season from the SPL club but it seems that Liverpool will still keep Salah and it could be that with the survival of Salah the thought of Mbappe will fade because after all they must have to spend a lot again if they really expect Mbappe to be in the Liverpool squad.
What I know is that Ancelotti will not sign any more defenders even though they have a lot of problems because Rudiger and Alaba are injury prone, not to mention Militao who still needs time to heal but for other players in midfield and attack I don't really know about that update.

The problem is that finding a replacement for Benzema is not easy because we know that strikers who are suitable for a club like Madrid are a bit difficult to find so in addition to taking time, they still need to consider the compatibility between players later.

I was the person who supported Joselu when he returned to Real Madrid, he looked very serious and wanted to show that Madrid was not wrong to borrow him. Joselu is aware that his stay at Madrid is only temporary, however Joselu does not give up on giving his best to this club. Discussing how the team worked together when Joselu kept trying to score a goal and at that time Bellingham became the main support until finally Joselu was able to score a goal. The emotion was felt until the stadium  was amazed by Joselu struggle.

In my opinion, it doesn't matter to Joselu whether he will be returned to Espanyol or if he gets a valuable offer in his life to make it permanent with the option of being a back-up, Joselu will accept that. Because at Madrid he understood the meaning of a big club and the struggle with all the players.

So far Joselu and all the Madrid players seem to support each other, showing chemistry even though  they realize they still feel lacking. That's Madrid with different quality players but the level of solidity should be appreciated.

As I discussed a few days ago, Timo Werner is finally officially wearing the Spurs jersey and I am very happy to see him return to the EPL. Spurs really need a good striker to cover the remainder of this season and are also targeting the Champions League zone for next season. As we know, since being left by Harry Kane, Spurs' focus has only been focused on Son Heung Min and I think that alone is not enough if you want to get consistent results. Therefore, the signing of Timo Werner could be the answer to this problem. Richarlison is also not that good and I think he is still lacking as Spurs' main striker.

As for the purchase option, I think the cost is quite cheap for Timo Werner and it is only natural that the cost is not that expensive considering that during this season he has rarely been played by Leipzig. But if at Spurs his performance improves then that will be additional value for Timo Werner, especially since he is at a mature age for a striker.

Timo Werner has officially been loaned to Tottenham until the end of this season from RB Leipzig. If he is able to give his best for the club, of course Tottenham will make him permanent and he will be Tottenham Hotspur's main squad to be used as a striker to replace Harry Kane. But I'm not sure whether he can be used the right choice for Tottenham, if you look at the statistical data, this player actually had a good performance when playing with his original club Lepzig but played so-so when he was with Chelsea but he is very good at providing passes and I think if the coach can provide a suitable strategy I think this player can return to its best performance.

Yes, the purchase is not too expensive considering his potential is decreasing from year to year, but if he returns to his best performance, I think Leipzig will increase the price for this player so that Leipzig can reap bigger profits considering that Premier League clubs have bigger finances but we'll see what Timo Werner is like at Tottenham, whether he deserves to play in the Premier League, where the competition is tougher than the Bundesliga.

Leipzig will not be able to increase his price at the end of the season because the agreement is clear with the purchase option mentioned above cannot be changed and Spurs only need to pay around 15 - 20 million euros to make him permanent at the end of the season. But it is better to see his development first and it can also be a consideration at the end of the season whether Spurs will be interested in making him permanent or not.

At Chelsea previously he couldn't really shine, but this time Timo Werner doesn't want to experience failure like before when he was in the Blues squad and he will try to convince coach Ange that this can be considered by management to make him permanent. Of course it's not easy and Timo Werner must provide decent expectations, especially as a prolific striker until the end of the season. Returning to Leipzig will not provide hope and he will only be a bench warmer and that is bad enough for his career.

Finally, manchester united has been reaching an agreement with dortmund over sancho's transfer. I was feeling that if sancho would be back to dortmund again and finally it's happening right now.

Manchester United have finalised an agreement to send Jadon Sancho to Borussia Dortmund on loan, according to widespread reports.

https://www.90min.com/posts/man-utd-borussia-dortmund-reach-agreement-jadon-sancho

Dortmund is still trying to believe if sancho will able to perform good again in the team. Im also happy to see that if dortmund is still trusting him right now. Im doubting him caused by sancho was performing so badly in united but it seems like that sancho is opening his eyes again if the best place will be going back to the his old team. Sancho has learned a lot from this cause to never try to join in the club that is not making him feel happy. Ten hag never try to trust him and sancho was lucky enough caused by he can still join in the big club.

This is the main problem owned by sancho but dortmund has solved it and sancho needs to thankful to the his former club to accept him back again in the club. Well done, sancho. You are picking the right choice to join in the dortmund again soon.

The number of his participations in all the goals scored is almost 50% when he only plays 50% of a game. That's very solid in my opinion.

Joselu has ever played for real madrid in the past and this was not unexpected thing to happen. I meant that if he was doing his best to make sure the club can perform better by having him. Joselu's stat was not that bad but it's far from benzema.
To be honest, from what i have been watching that it seems his team mates lack of trust in him. As you can see that how many times madrid's players were not passing him and yeah i can understand that since they were not fully trusting joselu.
He can back again to the espanyol very soon after his contarct with real madrid will be running out. I knew that real madrid has no other choice but the club can try to get a new number 9 right now. Im thinking about the possibility for ancellotti to get a new player soon.
It will be so good for real madrid to have a new striker to come and i would like to see that someone like haaland to join in the real madrid as a striker. At least someone like napoli's striker will be quite well to play for madrid.

Jordan Henderson will have the opportunity to return to playing in Europe because Ajax Amsterdam expressed interest in signing the English player if he gets the green light from his current club to leave the club but Henderson has not said yes because he is still waiting for other options. https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1744705766571811317
I think this is a good opportunity for Henderson to return to Europe because in the Saudi pro league he is not at a good enough club, Al Ettifaq has not managed to win in the last eight matches in the Saudi Pro league, but maybe Henderson hopes for a better club than Ajax but the question is whether Al Ettifaq will let him go.

I've actually not read about the news of Jordan Henderson's return to Europe but if what I'm seeing here is true, I think it might not be a good return for the England international. Since he moved to Saudi Arabian club Al Ettifaq last summer, the England international have been not been too effective like he used to be and his club is currently not in a good form so leaving them and returning to Ajax who plays in a league that requires more energy than his current league might be a difficult one for him.

I'm not trying to say he won't perform well if he returns back to Europe but I'm trying to say that considering his current age and athletism, he might be effective again like the Henderson we all saw at Liverpool but if he can still come back to Europe and deliver impressive performances again, then a return wouldn't be a bad idea

Henderson is not having a good time in the Saudi and it's obvious that the moves was not as expected. At this point he can't continue to stay where he is not happy. He still has lot of years ahead of him to play active football. He has lots of experience in playing in Europe so he will be a great addition to the Ajax team.

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.

Joselu is only a loan player from Espanyol. at the end of the season he will return to Espanyol. so it's not a permanent contract. if mbappe wants the no 9 it will definitely be given to mbappe. maybe if joselu is productive in scoring goals he can be made permanent by madrid if he wants.

Joselu and Mbappe's status at Real Madrid intrigues me. Joselu, on loan from Espanyol, has scored and assisted. Real Madrid should prolong his loan or buy him considering his productivity. Given his star status, Mbappe will presumably get the no. 9 jersey if he joins.

I think Madrid shouldnt rush to decide based on Mbappe's preferences. Joselu's jersey number flexibility is helpful. I think Mbappe plays better as a winger than a striker, allowing Rodrygo to play up front and Vini and Bellingham to support. This could balance the team and keep the offensive powerful without relying on one guy.

According to reports,Arsenal are on the verge agreeing a loan and obligation to buy deal with Everton for the services of their star midfielder Amadou Onana.Arsenal really want to boaster their midfield option by bringing in a long term replacement for Partey and Jorginho.According to reports,Everton are in financial crisis,and would want to cash in on the player for a fee in the region of 50 million.
This would be a very nice deal for both parties of the deal materialises,with report saying that Onana loves a move to Emirate stadium,where he can play alongside Declan Rice,and Martin Odegard in midfield.

Jorginho was a flop but partey could play a bit better than jorginho but these guys were performing worst this season. Arteta wants a new midfielder but no guarantee if having onana will make arsenal goes to the top again. I remind you when arsenal bought jorginho from chelsea last season.
The same publication being made to increase the capability of club in winning the trophy but it was trophyless last season. I will not even trust this caused by onana can also have chance to be another flop like jorginho.

I would like to see him stay much longer in everton but since arsenal has offered sense fees to get him and it seems like that the club was just agree to sell him. Arsenal once again does another gambling at the middle of season.
It will be so hard for onana to adapt with the game play of arsenal. His performance was quite impressive on everton but im really doubt about him. The supporters will be ready to booing him if he will play as bad as jorginho.

I absolutely agree about Joselu! I mean it was clear from the beginning that nobody could expect Joselu to play on the world's best strikers level as he was already 33 years old and didn't play for one of the best clubs for the most part of his career. It would be unfair to compare him to Ronaldo or to the best year Benzema ever had. But when we look at the performances he delivered, I think he really did a great job. In 25 games he scored 9 goals and gave 2 assists and keep in mind (!), he only played one half on average per game. The number of his participations in all the goals scored is almost 50% when he only plays 50% of a game. That's very solid in my opinion.

Regardless of what happens, it must be admitted that Joselu is not qualified to play as a striker in a team as big as Real Madrid and he is not worthy of being included in the squad to replace a striker like Karim Benzema.
I think the Real Madrid team has to look for other options to find a player in the striker position because Joselu cannot be considered too much while Real Madrid's current form or front line performance is very inconsistent so there are some unsatisfactory results they get because there is no striker who is capable of bringing change to the team to achieve victory.

From the start, no one expected much from Joselu, he was trusted only to fill the existing void, not to be a player who was truly reliable like the previous Real Madrid striker. However, it must be admitted that he didn't play badly, but he also didn't play extraordinary, he played just normal. Actually, I really appreciate his hard work, because it turns out he is mentally strong enough despite the pressure because many people doubt him.
The striker position is now the main focus for Real Madrid, they have to bring in new players who can fill the void well. Because it would also be very dangerous if they faced a club whose defense was very strong while they didn't have a striker who could disrupt the opponent's defense. They also now need a defender, that's what Ancelotti said, there are still gaps in their defense.

Amadou Onana is interested to join Arsenal, and negotiations might progress rapidly. While Arsenal considers signing additional midfielders this summer, the absence of a focus on acquiring a striker could hinder their competitiveness in the league. Arteta might be overlooking the need for a striker, and not addressing this in the summer would be a critical oversight. Having reliable strikers in the January transfer market is expected to be challenging. If the opportunity arises to sign Onana, it would be a great move for squad depth. Hopefully, Onana will find success at the Emirates and serve as an excellent replacement for Partey.
