⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Josefjix]

You can see it either way. I stand by my argument that Mbappe will go to Real Madrid. Everything else would be a surprise and going by that standard, discussions don't lead to anything.

Should we be bother about the current status of the team? I don't think so because only the absence of Kylian Mbappe will affects the performance of the team. Luis Enrique will ensure he fixed his team before the time given elapsed and having to deal with unnecessary pressures. Kylian Mbappe is going to Real Madrid and have become one of the top targets for most of these elite teams but Real Madrid is not comparable to them because they sits close to winning another UEFA Champions League title this season. We know the Frenchman have outstanding qualities.

We know the Frenchman have outstanding qualities.

There's nothing to worry about. In fact, I'll be happy if Kylian Mbappe finally leaves PSG, which means he's thinking about his future at a club that is more secure in the hunt for prestigious trophies. If he continues at PSG, Mbappe won't get to experience this prestigious trophy because PSG's performance is far below average. Compared to the favorite clubs in the Champions League, perhaps Mbappe's departure will slightly affect PSG's performance in the future, but Luis Enrique will immediately improve his front line so that PSG does not experience a significant decline so that PSG can continue to dominate League 1, PSG still has sufficient finances to buy players who especially needed to replace the empty place left by Mbappe.

Kylian Mbappe going to Real Madrid will be Real Madrid's big successor this season because Real Madrid doesn't need to dig deep into their pockets to have the best striker, the club and players feel that they will benefit equally. Hopefully Real Madrid will be stronger next season in the competition in the domestic league and also the Champions League, I really want to see Real Madrid get the treble winner title like Manchester City because Real Madrid already has strong players on the front lines and will contribute to each other in making Real Madrid successful in the future.

Do you guys believe once Mbappe comes, real Madrid will decide to sell Vini? I personally say it's a no sense for madrid to sell vini. He is such amazing talent and vini has been fully developed in real madrid. Selling him to another club is a big blunder. PSG is keen on buying him as a replacement for Mbappe, but I'm not really sure since Madrid has not made any confirmation regarding this. I know how valuable vini for the club and he is also becoming the main part of club.

With Vinicius Jr. in their sights, Chelsea, Liverpool, and PSG are willing to shell out serious amounts of cash to sign him this summer as per El Debate. The aforementioned teams are willing to take advantage of Mbappe's arrival by making a move for the Brazilian superstar since they think it may cause an ego clash in the locker room. Therefore, PSG and the two Premier League heavyweights would be willing to give Vinicius a way out with a whopping €200 million (£171m/$217m) bid.

Madrid can rotate its players, and Mbappe is probably able to play as a right winger, too. I prefer to combine Mbappe and Vini to be in the same squad as they are so useful for the club. Things are going very well for madrid by having vini and rodrygo in the club. I think that it will be a bad decision to push one of them to leave the club.
I think it will be the biggest mistake for madrid to sacrifice vini for mbappe. These players have same quality. Just put vini at the right side and mbappe at left. This is probably the best decision for the club.

Ancelotti is experimenting with his squad. Ancelotti is trying to find a consistent match strategy for Madrid. Madrid played in a 4-2-2-2 formation in the last match against Atheletic Club. In the previous match against Osasuna, Madrid played in a 4-3-3 formation. Madrid played in a 4-3-1-2 formation against Celta Vigo. And in the Champions League match against Leipzig, Madrid played in a 4-3-3 formation. However, this season Madrid have played most of their matches in a 4-3-1-2 formation. And if Ancelotti wants to keep this formation unchanged, maybe Madrid management will decide to sell Rodrygo.



Personally I think Madrid will not keep Rodrygo in the squad next season. Although Rodrygo is a talented player, Madrid are not getting enough support from Rodrygo. Rodrygo's performance is quite erratic. Moreover, several Premier League clubs are interested in adding Rodrygo to the squad.

The greatest example would be 220 million for Neymar by PSG, that release clause was put in motion not because he would be sold at that price but because Barcelona simply meant it as a "he is not for sale" type of thing, what kind of mad person would ever pay that much money for a player right?

Well, PSG went mad after they lost at UCL against Barcelona, and they didn't really want to give them the freedom to keep doing that, so they spent 220 million to get Neymar. That plan worked very well for PSG because Neymar was great there until the end, he got a lot of injuries that's true but when he played he was great, plus even though Barcelona got 220 million, they spent so much money trying to replace Neymar that they are now in big debt.

The performance of smaller teams this season will continually shock everyone because one wouldn't have believed if told before now that Newcastle would be in the Champions league this season, and say more and more of the recent performances of Fulham and others. These teams have taken advantage of the situation the wild teams have found themselves, in terms of competitions being played which causes less resting times, plus the team's defaults in their physical structure and player's efforts in converting goal chances to victories.

 A whole lot has changed in football. The EPL which was tough has become even tougher, La Liga just started getting competitive. It's amazing that the smaller teams are making wave and causing football to be more fun than it used to be. Gone are the days that football in these leagues were one team focused, now all teams have to be watched closely because no one knows where his defeat would lie.

 Newcastle in weeks have been doing good, they've been surprisingly excellent in a couple of games that they've been underrated in.  They're one team that didn't let the injury situation affect their performance, they were able to keep up with the games and ending them with victories. Even against PSG in both legs of the UCL group stage faceoff, they played in their highness and held PSG to ransom twice. It's just an amazing remark of their performance in football in the past weeks.

 Weeks back they lost to Everton which wasn't entirely their fault. They even went on to face City, a team who's also had huge impact on the league table, they did their best to put in extra effort. Any side had the chance to win even though City are doing exceedingly well, Newcastle were the host and they were also able to hold down City's pressure.

And indeed last season was their best performance over the last few seasons, but after that Newcastle lost the confidence and stability of performance that they should have maintained.
From what has gone through this season I would say that Newcastle will return to the way it was before, the only big league that can possibly be participated in is the European League and all of this is also happening because Newcastle cannot keep up with the development of other teams which are getting better.

I think there is only one way to make Newcastle perform optimally with big changes, they have to have the courage to spend large amounts of money on developments that improve the quality of playing performance.
Changing coaches, selling several players who are not so important and bringing in several players with good quality are steps that must be taken by Newcastle because all team have experienced significant improvements in performance.
If Newcastle does not keep up with developments and changes then they will definitely continue to be left behind, almost all leagues have team that have shown quite significant improvements in performance this season.
And next season maybe the competition for Newcastle will be even tougher in the English League and European League if they qualify.

It's a big move by Real Madrid, even though Rodrygo wasn't good enough, but it's really too quick if they sell Rodrygo because they don't have many players. Valverde and Diaz could replace his positions, but if Valverde is injured, it means Diaz will be forced to play without break.

Real Madrid need to sign a new right winger if they want to sell Rodrygo.

How bad are things with Newcastle? After 32 rounds in the Premier League, they are ranked 8th with 44 points. That might not be so bad, given their past. Last season's success is weighing heavily on themselves.

Last season, I was pretty impressed with Newcastle's performance. But this year, everything is different. Newcastle is going through a difficult period when their performance is at rock bottom, and the pressure on Eddie Howe is huge. I think the storm of injuries to many key players and the decline in performance are two big reasons why they played poorly this season. Their thin force will have problems when the competition schedule becomes dense. The fault does not entirely belong to Howe because he did everything within his ability. His team simply seemed exhausted.

In the current situation, Newcastle needs new recruits to solve the injury crisis. At the same time, they need to increase the quality of their squad if they want to compete with other Premier League giants. Newcastle's failure in the Champions League and decline in the Premier League show that this club needs more big players, not just simple contracts like before.

Real Madrid need to sign a new right winger if they want to sell Rodrygo.

It's not impossible. however, I doubt any deal like that would go through. Why would a Premier League club pay €100m or more for a player who hasn't scored 15 goals a season since 2017? It's clear that Rodrygo's performance at Real Madrid isn't impressive, and because he's been inconsistent, his club wants to offload him. Spending such a large amount on Rodrygo would be a risky move. He hasn't shown his full potential yet. So, the question is, who really needs Rodrygo?

In football, crazy things always happen when buying players. In recent years, we have seen Saudi Arabian clubs spend huge amounts of money just to sign outdated stars. And Neymar is still a name among them. As long as a club has strong financial resources, they will spend any price to get the players they need, which PSG offered 220 million to Neymar not only to buy his talent but also his reputation. At the time, he was considered a prodigy; his talent could be compared to Messi and Ronaldo's.

Neymar is a very talented player, but injuries ruined his career. In this transfer deal, I believe PSG did not lose money, they probably made a lot of money from recruiting him and selling him to Saudi Arabia. The only losers are probably Barcelona and even Neymar himself. If he had remained at Barcelona, perhaps his career would not have been inferior to that of his seniors.

even if Rodrygo during his time at Real Madrid has not had the achievement of scoring big numbers, his contribution to providing the right pass or getting an assist has been the best part that Rodrygo has and that is the reason why Madrid has retained Rodrygo because the player's chemistry is very integrated with other players and it will be easier to face any obstacles.
I'm not sure whether that will come true but what is certain is that EPL teams usually prefer to spend large amounts of money to bring in young players.
IMO, if Ancelotti decides to release Rodrygo without having an equivalent replacement player, it will be a big loss for Real Madrid in the coming season.

Not always the number of goals is a benchmark for a player for him to be valued handsomely or not by a team, so far Rodrygo's great contribution to Madrid's performance and play has attracted many clubs to try to sign Rodrygo next season, and at the moment I think with his very young age but has made a big contribution to a team as big as Madrid of course it is not surprising that 100 million euros is a price worth offering By Premier League clubs who want to sign him, because so far Rodrygo have a market value that is even quite high for a young player of 95 million euros.

I think the high price will certainly not discourage many Premier League teams from getting him, because I think with his ability to play as a striker, left wing and right wing certainly gives a club the advantage of a buy one get three package where the coach can put Rodrygo in different positions if needed, I think his ability to open up the opponent's defense will certainly make it easier for other players to score goals like the one So far, he has often done in Madrid, although he contributed greatly to Madrid, but indeed Rodrygo's fate is currently in doubt to stay in Madrid, after reportedly Madrid will recruit Mbappe next season who does have the same position and ability as Rodrygo.

Atlético River Plate is a team they are known for the good performance they usually have with discovering the new players and this team introduced some new younger players to the world.
Now it seems now Real Madrid wants to hire a player from this team. They target Franco Mastantuono for the end of this season and send him an offer, but Franco Mastantuono won't be easy for Real Madrid.
Atlético River Plate said they won't let Mastantuono leave the team and they won't have negotiations about this player unless Real Madrid pays the 50 million euros for this player.
Other than Real amdrid, PSG also intrestd in hiering Mastantuono.

Ruben Amorim has also started to be rumoured for the Liverpool job after Klopp leaves by the end of this season. He has a really good career in Portugal so far. His whole life has been there as well. He has achieved really nice things with Sporting at the same time. His current contract with Sporting expires in 2026.

Do you believe he could be a candidate for Liverpool? I'm not sure honestly.    There must be better options than him as well. It isn't easy to find a manager who can be at least as successful as Klopp. If they find a manager who knows the team and league well it would be faster in terms of adaptation.

[rendravolt]

During the last summer, we saw a lot of news about Bernardo Silva and Barcelona. Since Robert Lewandowski was the only target forward in Barcelona he is getting old and out of his good form, Barcelona needs to hire another player to take his place in the team and that's why they wanted to buy Bernardo Silva from Manchester City but they don't have a good financial power and Manchester City is not a team to give any player for free easily.
That's why they couldn't hire Bernardo Silva, however, still Bernardo Silva can still join Barcelona if they pay 50 million euros for him and this situation is his contract is only available for Barcelona.



https://barcauniversal.com/barcelona-can-sign-long-term-target-from-manchester-city-for-50-million-this-summer/

To be honest, I will no longer believe the rumors of players being linked to Barcelona and as we know it is financial problems that make it difficult for Barcelona to get good players. Even if Barcelona could, they would only transfer on loan and return, it would depend on the policy of the club where the original player is located whether they want to agree to the loan or not.

It is very difficult for Barcelona because they cannot do anything without big money and they can only hope to bring in players as free agents. I think Bernardo Silva has a desire to play for Barcelona, but if the initial obstacles are not resolved then Bernardo Silva will never join Barcelona. The Blaugrana must find effective ways to make a lot of money from investments and they can follow the example of Real Madrid if they want to revive their glorious era again.

Selling Rodrygo? damn I haven't found anything to say if that happens. However, I doubt Madrid's decision to sell Rodrygo for any reason, so far he will still be a player to keep. Rodrygo is a set regardless of whether he is unstable or not, because Rodrygo is a figure who has made a big contribution to Madrid this season, he is still young and for Madrid it is very rare to release young players whose role is still useful on the front lines.

Or is it because you want to bring in Mbappe, the issue of selling Rodrygo is used as an excuse? Moreover, Ancelotti is not the type of coach who likes making difficult decisions. Rodrygo and Madrid are parts that are still considered important today.

Rodrygo with EASY decision to make over €100m Premier League move

Several big teams like Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool are interested in adding Rodrygo to the squad. And they are ready to pay big amount for Rodrygo.

Actually,  Real Madrid has good financial condition and won't to sell their favorite player Rodrygo have contributed well for Madrid in this season. Rodrygo as multi talent players for Real Madrid and he can plays well when Carlo Ancelotti putting him as false nine, left or right winger position. Sell Rodrygo with 100 million euro is very small amount of fees transfer for Real Madrid comparison how consistency contribution every season, Rodrygo can fill false nine position when Real Madrid get problem with central forward and I believe Carlo Ancelotti never interested with any Premier League teams want to sign him.
Real Madrid not confirming yet they will sell Rodrygo on the next season, he still in Carlo Ancelotti tactician and difficult for any premier league want to get his sign, its not matter how much fees transfer offer Madrid will denied for selling Rodrygo next season.

The rumors has been circulating that Mbappe may likely move to Spain to play for Real Madrid next season but Mbappe is yet to make it public for far concerning his future so it is open for any good team to seek for his signature even Manchester City because they have a great team and Mbappe will fit in the team even though Haaland is currently playing with Manchester City but his presence may not affect the performance of the French player Mbappe. Personally I don't think Mbappe will let his pay issues with his other team mates affect his choice of club but he is likely keen on joining Real Madrid which has been one of the strongest bidders for his signature and the number of players and the position he's to occupy in the Real Madrid team is one of the reasons why he's likely going to choose the Spanish giants over other teams.

Quite Correct.

The fact is that, Kylian Mbappe is under contract terms with Paris Saint Germany and the lad is only trying to be very professional. Why would such a promising Ballon d'or potential winner say no to Real Madrid? That must be madness, completely madness.

Manchester City? He won't be swinging that way, reasons because they've signed a winger from Girona, they have Jack Grealish, Phil Foden and Jeremy Doku, who's he gone replace? It'll also be boring having both Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe together in the same team.

He already had his parents take decisions for him, he is a man now and can take the best decisions for himself. The switch to Real Madrid is the best decision he will even make in his football career.
Money won't be issues, Real Madrid will want to bend him, it's either he obliges or leave. I'm sure Los Blancos is the best destination for him.

AC Milan has started transfer efforts for Joshua Zirkzee. Milan offered 50 million Euro for the player for whom Bologna wanted 75 million Euro. They could also send Saelemaekers along with the money. Zirkzee, who was sent from Bayern, had a good rise in his second season in Bologna and became the favorite of big clubs. However, Bologna's asking price is very high, I think they will soon agree on a price close to the price offered by Milan.

It isn't easy to find a manager who can be at least as successful as Klopp. If they find a manager who knows the team and league well it would be faster in terms of adaptation.

It is difficult for a coach who has never had experience coaching a team in the Premier League to adapt quickly.
Ruben Amorim is a good coach but I don't think he is yet at top European level to be able to match Klopp for what he has shown with Liverpool so I doubt Ruben Amorim can continue Liverpool's current form.

It's quite difficult for Liverpool to find a replacement for Klopp and enable this team to continue to be at the top in the title race, maybe in my opinion the only coach with a big name who has good experience is suitable, not Ruben Amorim.
