⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[bering]

AC Milan is about to make a wise decision and sell an effective and important player for money.
We know earning money from putting the players for sale is the part of the plan for every team and they try to earn some money from the players they don't actually need. But this time it seems AC Milan wants to sell Mike Maignan the goalkeeper of the team.
It seems he got good offers from some teams to make AC Milan earn some money.
AC Milan did the same thing with Sandro Tonali in the last summer and transferred this player to Newcastle.

Mike Maignan is part of Milan squad when they gets the Scudetto on season 2021/2022 and since that year Mike Maignan performance is quite consistent so that's why Pioli is fully trust him to guarded Milan defensive lines although he has a contract until 2026 but Milan was offering contract extension early to this player because basically Milan doesn't want to lost Mike Maignan but the negotiations for new contract have not to reach an agreement because Mike Maignan demanding high salary into his new contract and if until end of this season negotiations deadlocked so Milan began to think about the possibility of selling Maignan this summer

Actually just like i said above Maignan is important player for Milan but if they unable to gets his signs then Milan don't want to lost him with free status just like what happend to Gianluigi Donnarumma few years ago so most likely Milan will putting him into selling lists and it's not difficult for Maignan to gets new clubs because Manchester United, PSG, and Chelsea are showing their interest to Maignan and i am sure those teams are willing to pay with expensive price for transfer fee and apparently Milan has realized this situations so that's why this summer they will look for new goalkeeper and it says Monza goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio into their radar

"You're happy at Real Madrid and then now there is also Mbappé coming...", Sky Sport asked.

Carlo Ancelotti: "Remember that the most important thing is Real Madrid. It’s a huge club. I’m proud of being their coach".

The reporter was digging to find something. But I don't think they are going to find anything.
As much as I hate to admit it, but I think he is leaving Real Madrid after the contract ends.
He has a contract with Real Madrid till 2026.

Well, on second thought, it is still a long way away. Maybe a lot of things might change by the time.
Maybe he will change his decision in the future.
But right now it doesn't seem like he has any plans to stay after his contract expires.

Toney? it must be joking from the author's right? Im not even thinking that if toney is worth to buy especially when brentford valued him 100 millions. What in the hell is this? It will be so damn stupid if arteta will be buying toney from brentford. I would rather get osimhen if arsenal is willing to spend 100m for a striker.

I have heard that if there have been some names linked to the arsenal. It will be benjamin sesko and gyokeres but it's not yet clear whether arsenal is really targeting these names. Arteta made no comment regarding this and it seems he is still putting all of his focus on to the title race against city and liverpool.

I haven't heard of their interest in Sesko but there are rumours linking them with Gyökeres. However Gyökeres has a release clause like 100 million euros. I don't think Sporting would like to let him go below this price. 

If Brentford want 100 million euros for Ivan Toney then Arsenal will make a choice between them (if we consider these players are prioritizied). Both of them are really capable strikers but Toney's illegal betting scandal wouldn't be forgotten easily. Arteta shouldn't be in a hurry while making a striker transfer and I assume he won't. The squad is already very productive about scoring goals. Making the right striker choice would make their attacking line even more deadly. 

You're obviously missing it. This rumor has been in circulation since last year and im also mentioning this article as my evident https://onefootball.com/es/noticias/major-update-emerges-on-benjamin-sesko-joining-arsenal-38511794

Arsenal has expressed interest in getting him, but Sesko was still willing to play for Leipzig. What's the difference with Toney, then? Brentford was also pricing Toney like Sporting did to the Gyokeres. If I were Arsenal, I would patiently search for a good striker. It's all about how we will manage our budget efficiently.

Arteta has spent so much money to build the current squad, but it seems insufficient for the gunner because the two strikers are performing inconsistently this season. Another option is probably Vlahovic from Juventus, but I don't think that he will be fit for arsenal's gameplay.

Sesko is still possible to get and he has cheaper price compared to the gyokeres and toney. Toney's comeback was not so good. The only possible thing for arsenal to sell nketiah first then used the money raised from selling him to buy toney.

I call this as a bull

If a club offered a youngster 200m, there is no reason to not even take it. Any club would say yes and thats a fact that no other could would deny. Why would a club even reject this offer though, this is going to be a huge transfer record and everyone knows that Barcelona need all the money that they could get their hands on so this is pretty much bullshit for sure

Of course that's bullshit. Who is Lamine Yamal? To be honest, he's certainly not a bad footballer, but I've seen so little of him so far and someone is supposed to pay 200 million for him? That's a 100% lie, because Barca would sell him without thinking twice for 200 million. Even a Messi today wouldn't be worth that much as a newcomer at that age (assuming Messi is an unknown 16-year-old player).

Lamine Yamal is a good football player. Even if he does half of what Messi does, it would be great for him and for Barcelona. But we can't judge him definitively because of a few games of good performances. He has to show us a few seasons of good performances. However, I see Laporte's statements as natural. Every club president always praises his players and says positive things about them. It's a marketing strategy.

Young players such as Yamal, Gavi and Pedri are a great advantage for Barcelona, ​​which has a bad financial situation. If they sell them at the right prices, the club can become economically stronger. In addition, quality football players are constantly emerging from the infrastructure and by selling them, the club can earn additional income. Yamal is a good player, but I think it would be better for Barça if he brings a big transfer to the team.

Newcastle have been monitoring Feyenoord defender Quilindschy Hartman ahead of the summer transfer window, FootballTransfers can reveal, with the left-back position being a key area that Eddie Howe wishes to strengthen.
Hartman has enjoyed a fruitful season so far with Eredivisie side Feyenoord and the 22-year-old is expected to feature in Ronald Koeman’s plans for the Dutch national team at this summer’s European Championship.

Source: https://www.footballtransfers.com/en/transfer-news/uk-premier-league/2024/03/newcastle-transfer-news-feyenoord-quilindschy-hartman-steve-kay

Well, I think Quilindschy Hartman is a really great young player, he has really good potential. Now you can ask me is he ready for the English Premier League? I don't know and the only way to find out is by him joining the English Premier League. I actually think he is going to be good enough for mid-table teams in the English Premier League. But if we talk about the top clubs in the English Premier League, maybe he is not ready.

My opinion is, the situation that Newcastle United is in right now, I think he is going to be good enough for them and with him, Newcastle United will be able to strengthen the defensive line.

Barcelona can plan to sell the players but I'm not really sure about this. The prices of these coins can raise, he must be interested to hold more to get a bigger amount of money. I'm not sure if Barcelona can have a stronger financial status if they succeed to sell Yamal, Gavi and Pedri. Barcelona management gets some money, but it won't be enough money to build again Barcelona.

Yamal is one of the most potential players of Barcelona. He is getting often to score goals now. I think Barcelona management will regret it if they sell Yamal and they only get some money that never fixed the financial problem of Barcelona. IMO, Barcelona management should change their mind to sell the young players.

DEAL DONE: Koke has extended his contract at Atletico Madrid until 2025. 💪

Source: https://x.com/DeadlineDayLive/status/1772262328966295687

This guy has been so loyal to Atletico Madrid which is really hard to see nowadays.
At current times every player goes to another club if he finds a good deal.
You know, he has been with Atletico Madrid since he was a little kid. He played in the Atletico Madrid B team when he was in his youth. And after he got promoted to the Atletico Madrid squad, he never looked back. And he stayed at Atletico Madrid no matter what the situation was. I think he is going to retire as a “one-club player"

I am of the opinion that a special thread be dedicated to Xavi Alonso 
As funny as this might sound, it is important to note and acknowledge that Xavi Alonso has actually done extraordinary well this season. If many expected this to happen I am not among those many. I am among the few that thought that the German Bundesliga season will end as usual. But Xavi Alonso took many people by surprise and even up to the European competitions, this guy is still doing great. I am not surprised that many clubs are interested in his services because he has proven himself to be a special and an extraordinary new talent in the coaching industry. In as much as both Liverpool and Bayern Munich and even the Real Madrid had once have him as their players, I would definitely want Xavi Alonso to come to England to compete with Guardiola and as such I will have Etche opportunity to watch him every weekend.

Lol, this is funny, but frankly, if Xabi Alonso deserves a thrown of his own, I think Mbappe should have had one by now for a very long time! If Mbappe had his own thread here, we would probably soon be looking at at least 200 pages of posts...

LOL. At a time I personally renamed the Ligue 1 thread as Mbappe thread. Anytime you visit there, it is either Mbappe this or Mbappe that. Even when there's no more rumour to discuss, a random person will come up with a random rumour about his transfer and a new topic is renewed As we talk, Mbappe already has a jersey and shirt number in Real Madrid  

But yes jokes aside, he is an interesting personality without a doubt, but there should be caution that we don't exaggerate. I mean it is not impossible that he goes to another club and gets fired within the six months. If he goes to Liverpool or Bayern and the teams don't perform, which is a possibility, the big adventure could be over faster than anyone thought it would.

You are totally not out of point. Xavi Alonso only have proved that he can take an average club to become a big club within one season but he has not proved that he can sustain a big club to remain at their position for more than one season. A move to Bayern Munich or Liverpool will prove everything.

That's all correct but if you ask me, I think that Rodrygo would be the first to sit on the bench if Real Madrid is able to sign more top strikers. If we assume that Mbappe will go to Real Madrid, it would be Vinicius Junior, Mbappe and still Rodrygo for now. But I think they wouldn't step there and instead try to sign one more player of the category Mbappe/Vinicius Junioar. It is true that Rodrygo took a great development there and he became a very reliable player for the team, scoring goals and working a lot for their offensive game, but I think that most people would agree that there are better strikers than him. I think he would be the first to have a hard time to defend his spot in the first eleven.

Why Rodrygo must be on the bench? It will be a serious mistake to put him on the bench, he is an important player for Real Madrid. I only see 2 wingers that can be put as the main attackers, they are Vinicious and Rodrygo. If Real Madrid succeeds to sign Mbappe, it will be complete with Mbappe as the Center Forward. In the formation of 4-3-3, we will have Vinicius-Mbappe-Rodrygo. I think this will be a great combination of Real Madrid attackers.

Dude, Rodrygo isn't functioned as a striker (center forward). His main position is a right winger. If Mbappe joins Real Madrid, Ancelotti will use the main formation of Real Madrid with 2 wingers and 1 striker in the attacking line. Vinicius will be the left winger, Rodrygo is in the right winger, and Mbappe is in the striker position (CF).

Who said that he must be on the bench? You better read my posts with more precision and if it is not possible, use a translator and translate it into your native language. I never said that Rodrygo must be on the bench. Do me a favor, find that line of mine and quote it here.

I said that in some special case when we were to see Real Madrid sign two players like Mbappe and Haaland, I am quite sure that Mbappe could play an impressive role as a winger. In this case he would play a right winger or they could switch to something like 4-4-2 where Rodrygo and Vinicius Junior would still have their places and interpret their positions more offensively than the midfield would.

It was just some thought experiment and I thought it was clear to everyone. I shared an opinion and I never said that Rodrygo must be on the bench. He has rightfully established himself as part of the core team.

In my opinion, it makes no sense to sell players for a Barcelona that wants success. It might be foolish to sell these three players, especially those who can play at the top level for 10 years. Instead of the departed players, they can bring in young and potential players like Real Madrid did. At the beginning of the year, we were reading the news that they were about to sign an agreement with Arda Güler. If Arda had come to Barcelona instead of Real Madrid, he could probably have been one of Barcelona's best with these young players. He is having difficulty getting playing time in Real Madrid, and perhaps he will be sent out on loan next year.

Yamal is a good player, but I think it would be better for Barça if he brings a big transfer to the team.

But the problem is whether they are willing to do that as one of the solutions to improve their current performance.We certainly know for the past few seasons, especially in the Xavi era, that he was very reluctant to let go of their star players even though there was a big offer and it could cover their financial margins which were still unstable.

In the previous 2 seasons we clearly know how the De Jong drama has always been created in every transfer, be it summer or winter, even Manchester United have also prepared with a crazy offer to De Jong but with the drama and Xavi's reluctance to sell this player, the conditions have not changed because they always want to keep players but insist on adding new players even though their financial condition is getting worse.

It's not impossible for Gavi, Pedri and Lamine Yamal to be like that either because even though we don't know what Barcelona's plans will be next season and which coach will be appointed but if in the end there is the same attitude where Barcelona doesnt release its star players and still worsens its financial balance I still feel that Barcelona will not change and even seem to be getting worse financially.

[baeva]

some news in this boring break for the national teams.

Mbappe will not announce anything regarding his future as long as there is a possibility that Real Madrid and PSG could meet during the cup.
Juventus is interested in Mason Greenwood, who is currently on loan. the price should be low as the player only has one year left on his contract with Manchester.

Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid, let's wait till the deal is been finally triggered. There are shocking news in football, we just have keep listening ears on ground because what's coming would seem surprising to our eyes and most of us will find it hard to believe. For me, I'm already open up and will accept the legit news which will be flowing in anytime soon. Besides I can't be easily deceived or following rumors, just patiently wait for the top football journalist, Fabrizio Romano to make posts on his page, that's probably where I get my information and stay updated with football trends.

I think what happened two years ago with Mbappe's move to Real Madrid will not happen again, it has been rumoured many times that there are conditional agreements, already agreed salary and other aspects, as if there is no point in Mbappe looking for another team, because it is obvious that he will not stay in PSG

When other clubs don't have any good youngsters, La Masia graduates never end
And I think Barca doesn't want to lose Yamal, Pedri, Gavi, Balde, and Cubarsí.
They are part of the next generation. Barca cannot give up or let them go, they know the Consequences.
They are a good player with big prospects and currently mostly on low wages, there is no sensible reason to sell them, both sporting and economic. They are the future.

It is not up to Barcelona alone whether these players are going to stay or not. Barcelona has been smart though when it comes to most of the contracts of their youngsters. By giving them a chance to play for the first team in La Liga, one of the conditions is a long contract duration. But these durations of any of those contracts aren't without limits. Some of the players have release clauses and if they sign a 5-years contract at the age of 18, by the time they turn 23 Barcelona is getting into trouble as the players get into a more powerful position for negotiations. None of these players would tie themselves longer to the club without any need for that to be done. Barcelona has been this club that all the players dreamed of, but times have changed over the past few years. If they want to make sure that their best young talents don't leave, the best way to do this is to become the best club in Europe again and that is probably not achievable in a short amount of time.

But that's something Barcelona wouldn't do if they didn't really feel compelled to sell their players. I think if that was their thinking then they would have done it a long time ago because in the previous few seasons also some of their star players like De Jong and Gavi were looked at by a lot of clubs and even the offers were quite large but with Xavi's characteristics where he only focused on incoming players and did not let any players leave it backfired on themselves.

Now if you look at the conditions next season if it is possible that there is a new coach then surely it will also follow the existing ones where they will not try to release their players unless it does not fit their attacking scheme.
Now there is another option where Lewa can also be sold to the SPL because it will benefit Barcelona if indeed they are ready to make a reshuffle but the current situation is uncertain for Barcelona because in the end we don't know who the new coach is and what steps he wants to take later.

The Barca president and management are not stupid, if they received an offer of 200 million and didn't sell it, it means they think they can make more money from the player or achieve more success from that team. Frankly, it would be difficult to sell a 16-year-old wonderkid, perhaps the greatest talent after Messi, for 200 million and watch him 20 years playing for another team. Perhaps Yamal will gain much more than this, both financially and in terms of success, during his time playing for Barca.

Gone at the days that clubs sell their young stars for peanut money and in the future they will regret. In the present football the amount of money invested in players is very much and the one they want to buy or sell such players they said them outrageously also. If you also check Manchester United, their youngster Maino has been approached but they won't sell.

I am also of the opinion that Barcelona is no longer in financial crisis because if they are 200M will go a long way to solve problems for then. But if things are fair, Yamal is not supposed to be sold by the club.

There are important players that will be having good connection with the team's president and coach, such players will have lengthy years in the team and also selected in the best XI. Barcelona have quite vast numbers of talented players. Barcelona president, Joan Laporta will always show his concern for his team. He's not expressing moves to sell his promising young players, rather he will choose to stay calm and execute good budgets for Barcelona.

Barcelona players will be very tactical when they have Xavi Hernandez as headcoach, he's this type of coach that will not welcome the poor results because he's experienced and prominent for the team. Yamal Lamine, Pedri and Gavi have been the main players that have been strengthening the team's performance, always pushing forward for the good results, this is precisely the time for Barcelona to hold tightly on their players.

His career has been in a bit of a decline in recent years, but I don't think it's understandable that Jose Mourinho is still unemployed. He is still a good manager and he can be one of the best again. I think he should be the manager of Chelsea after Pochettino. Porto in Portugal and Chelsea in England are his home. He is the only one who can bring Chelsea back to the old days. I know he wasn't very successful in his second Chelsea term and his last Roma adventure but I think he deserves another chance with Chelsea because of what he has achieved in the past.

There's a new owner at ChelseaFC so things mightn't work as fans are wishing for it to work. Jose Mourinho coming back to Chelsea mightn't go as planned and he'll be spoiling his legacy at ChelseaFC. Jose Mourinho needs to go to Saudi Arabia where he'll be enjoying his coaching and not over competing in Europe. Football has new tactics and Jose mourinho packing the bus mightn't work again for him. Football is about the game play like when Manchester city, Arsenal and other clubs playing very well are dominating the ball and possession and also winning the game. No club is interested in a manager that'll only be defending and not playing football that'll have alot of ball possession. Jose Mourinho should take the job offer from Saudi Arabia and go to manage one of the top clubs there and use them to win trophies.

The deal that may be very hot in the near future is the race to sign Everton's Jarrad Branthwaite. In addition to Real Madrid paying attention to him, Premier League giants are also jumping into the race including Mancity, Man Utd, and Tottenham. It can be said that this deal is making the Premier League fight. Everton only accepts to sell people if they receive at least 60 million pounds. Jarrad Branthwaite is a product of Everton's own training facility, very young, only 21 years old and of British nationality. He has had a pretty good season despite Everton fighting a relegation battle.
I believe Branthwaite's career would have improved a lot if he had been transferred to a bigger club like Mancity. In the past, Mancity also took John Stones - a player also produced from the Everton training facility. Thanks to working with Pep, Stones has been raised. This is also something that Branthwaite should consider.
