⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[eightdots]

The Saudi deal were likely huge, but Jorginho's a different guy. His Chelsea career earned him Champions League success. He topped the list. Arsenal now? They're rising, contending for the crown, and back in Champions League. That's his ideal stage. You must witness his midfield strategy with Declan Rice. They click. Yin and yang out there.  Staying at Arsenal strengthens that bond, which is crucial for the club as they face major challenges. Jorginho sees the big picture, not just himself

Jorginho seems happiness with current condition in Arsenal behind not get regular position after arriving Declan Rice but reached agreement deal with short term contract extend until 2025.
Mikel Arteta want to get experience players will be motivate for young player about need the winning mentality teams. In this season, Jorginho have played 23 games for Arsenal in Premier League but most of his appearance not as regular position.

However he looks happy after Arsenal management respect with him by giving one year contract extend, its not much problem behind his potential get regular position for next season too small but he will give the best perform for Arsenal and try to winning Premier League trophy in this season.

I am curious about the size of the offers to be received in this transfer period and the reactions of the players to these offers. Jorginho started in the starting 11 in 19 of the 35 matches he played this season. I don't think this is a good statistic. He started in the first 11 with better statistics in the 5 seasons he spent at Chelsea. This explains the short-term contract given to Jorginho.

Jorginho is a very quality football player and a player who is always sought after in the team. If he gets the chance to play more, he will contribute more to his team.

Arsenal are targeting the signing of a defender, midfielder and forward as they look to strengthen the squad available to Mikel Arteta for next season.

https://x.com/DeadlineDayLive/status/1788846436228214796

I guess this is all right because he is able to bring in good results with Arsenal in recent times. Now if he is able to win the English Premier League title I think he deserves a good amount of money. And even if he is unable to win the English Premier League title, investment is not going to be bad. Since the last few seasons, they have been performing well. Now I think if the club spends money like that again, they can expect better results. And I think if Arsenal actually increases the depth of the squad they are actually going to be successful in bringing in better results and maybe to far better in the Champions League as well.

We agree, if Arsenal finally claim the League trophy this season. Arteta deserves to receive funds to bring in several new arrivals. whether it's defenders, midfielders and what I agree most is a pure striker which they don't have. thus, the Gunners have more depth that is almost evenly distributed across all lines. at least, they can compete in the Champions League with a team that is more ideal and worthy of being taken into account.

Well, that's the problem. I'm interested in which players Arteta and Edu will target next summer. in particular, a pure striker who is what the team needs in my opinion. That doesn't mean Arsenal's front line players are not worthy, but Arsenal really need a replacement for Nketiah. But before we speculate too far, let's just follow along as Arteta and his team play their matches in the Premier League until this season's competition is over.

[bering]

according to the Gazzetta dello Sport we will be able to witness a Morata "hat trick".

Juventus seems intent on having him as a player again, who loves Turin and Juventuns, for the third time in his career.
If the loan will happen, I think it would be a record for a single player, three loans in his career to another team, always to the same team

This means that Vlahovic or Chiesa can leave the team since they also have the uprising of the young star Yildiz who will not benched anymore next year and so they have no spaces for them all.




edit, some errors

If i am not mistaken Juventus almost bought him last summer even i thought this transfer will be happend but Morata has decide to extended his contract with Atletico Madrid and this season Morata performance was very impressive because from 44 matches total in all competitions with Atletico Madrid Morata can scores 20 goals but at his new contract there is special clause because Morata can decide by himself to move to any team he wants including moved to Juventus

Juventus most likely will sell Arkadiusz Milik who have been disappointing this season and Juventus also possibly will lost Chiesa or Vlahovic because these players were targetting by other teams this summer so Morata could be a good replacement for those players and if this transfer happened i think it was a good decision for Juventus and Morata possibly can adapt quickly with Juventus because just like you said previously Morata was loaned to Juventus twice and he know the atmosphere of this team

[beerlover]

Darwin Núñez the player of Liverpool was recently linked to Barcelona but it seems the news about this player is not real and he won't join Barcelona.
Since Darwin Núñez doesn't have a good relationship with Liverpool there is the possibility for him to leave the team and play in the other team in the next season.
He even posted a picture of himself and Araújo, the player of Barcelona. The picture was taken in Barcelona but it seems he was just visiting his friend Araújo and he won't join Barcelona.

We will never know until it is done but I think that Barcelona wouldn't be too bad of an idea for him. Lewandowski is getting older and I do not think that he has one more season in him, there is a big possibility that we are going to end up with them not doing all that well in the end. Which is why I keep thinking that maybe we are going to end up with something not that great.

It means that we may end up with not a great way to make a replacement but still one that they can do. I think Nunez at Liverpool would be a decent change and he could probably do better there than he did at Liverpool. This is just a rumour of course, there is nothing you can make with just an image, of course he could be just visiting a friend and could leave for another team in the end.

With or without the trophy, Arteta deserve anything he ask for to tweak the team and improve the over all performance of the team. The board can't say know at this point because been in a better place in the Premier League alone is a quest in which many managers can't do. Last season they almost win the league and they gave him funds to get players and Rice seeks to be good investment, they should give him more until they see no outcome in their investment. That Premier League is must for Arsenal to bring home.

Well, that's the problem. I'm interested in which players Arteta and Edu will target next summer. in particular, a pure striker who is what the team needs in my opinion. That doesn't mean Arsenal's front line players are not worthy, but Arsenal really need a replacement for Nketiah. But before we speculate too far, let's just follow along as Arteta and his team play their matches in the Premier League until this season's competition is over.

I didn't see good use of Gabriel Santos this season, he should let go and bring more good defenders to protect that right back and left back, he should do more scrutiny check on some of those players that give them more errors that lead to their loses, I promise with Arsenal will be in better place than ever. So far, I see nothing bad in their forward.

This means that Vlahovic or Chiesa can leave the team since they also have the uprising of the young star Yildiz who will not benched anymore next year and so they have no spaces for them all.

I don't think Moratta will return to Juventus. He becomes the key player on Atletico Madrid attacking line. Since he gets a regular position in Atletico and he still has a contract until 2026, it is impossible to move to Juventus for the next season. On the other hand, Juventus also doesn't need a new striker because they have Vlahović and Moise Kean. Kenan Yıldız is only a youngster in Juventus squad, he still can't get a regular position there. If he doesn't want to sit on the bench, he can ask Juventus management to play on another team as a loan player.

I don't really know about the rumor of Vlahovic and Chiesa to leave Juvetus. But I believe these players will stay in Juventus if they have a new coach for the next season. I think Juventus will extend the contract of Chiesa very soon, he is still a great player for Juventus.

The problem is that it is a little difficult to happen now especially with his excellent performance at Atletico this season and with Atletico's vacant position because even if Joao returns in the end he will not be able to be Simeone's choice because he still has internal problems with the coach so borrowing Morata for now would be very difficult in my opinion.

Morata's statistics at Atletico continue to increase from season to season where for now he has scored 14 goals in La Liga and 5 goals in the Champions League.



And this situation is quite different from what he did at Juventus when he was there.



So in this case I still feel that Morata will be more ready to stay at Atletico than having to force himself at Juventus.

Makes indeed some sense, but only because of your differentiation. Having a single super star that demands the ball even without asking for it or not expecting it, but everyone feels the pressure to pass it to him, can make a team worse overall. I think 26 goals in Ligue isn't that impressive, both parties could be suffering from each other. PSG needs more team players, whereas Mbappe should go to a team where is not the only one of his calibre.

And honestly he can't grow as a player himself in a league that is not his level. But I don't really know what his ego is. I only remember that there were some rumors about him not getting along so well with Messi because Messi took a lot of the attention away from him. No clue if it is true. Maybe he would be a diva when he plays for Madrid, but Ronaldo was a diva as well and delivered damn hard!

Considering the how good Kylian Mbappe have been and how he's helped Paris Saint Germaine in big games since he signed for the French champions, I think it'll be very difficult for the club to better without his presence at the club. Of a truth, Kylian Mbappe might not just be the best player in the world but he has been Paris Saint Germaine's player for most of the seasons he's played at the club so saying that Paris Saint Germaine might be better off without him is a way of undermining all his great contributions to the club of you ask me.
There's every possiblity that Paris Saint Germaine might go on to achieve whatever they failed to achieve when Kylian Mbappe was still at the club but I think it'll take Paris Saint Germaine few more seasons after the departure of Kylian Mbappe to be able to achieve all of that. Mbappe is not just the regular kind of player rather, the France national team captain have been very clubs reckoning force for a long time now so they'll surely miss his services when he finally leaves the club.

You didn't get the point. If you were playing on the same team as Mbappe and he is in a 5/10 position on the field during an attack and you got the ball and are in a 10/10 position to take that shot yourself, what do you think could happen? Let's further assume that you are a pretty good player, but you do not draw as much attention to yourself as Mbappe does. You might not enfold your full potential. And this is not something uncommon. You could apply that to other sports, to something outside of sports.

But now that the answer is out and Mbappe will leave the club for sure, maybe we can get an answer to this question / discussion next season.

[Woodie]

I think PSG might actually be better off without Mbappe, hear me out……

He’s such a huge personality, everything centres around him, all play goes through him. I think other players are intimidated and pass him the ball quickly, even if they’re in a better position.

Totally agree, it was actually even worse when the 3 superstars of Messi, Neymar and Mbappe played up front..and with him leaving means a new approach of the game and frankly players will develop and express themselves more on the pitch unlike when it's hardwired to always give Mbappe the ball.

Otherwise the real test of his football skills start now, not what was experienced in the farmers league.

I think Mbappe is the best player in the world but PSG might become a better team without him. I think it’s stupid PSG will let him go on a free as his contract will expire this summer. They should have sold him last summer for big money. They could become a better team now though, a team is about more than one player.

Pride of the owners  I think , and Mbappe played his cards right because the price tag set for a player of his calibre was and is still high and only one market could afford to splash that kind of money at the time ... but whatever happened seemed like a bluff when the Saudi offer came in...safe to say their loss his gain!!

[TelolettOm]

It's quite strange that Man United wants Joselu, who in fact is no longer young. What I know is that Man United really wants to make big changes, but Joselu shouldn't be part of that plan because he is not the right signing for long term plans. I think Man United just took advantage of the opportunity because they could get Joselu at a fairly cheap price as a backup for Rasmus Hojlund. Obviously, it's a gamble, even though it's cheap, but if in the end, he can't make a contribution then it will still be considered a wasted signing.

You're right. Joselu is no longer a young player, he is almost 35 years old. In this age, a football player is no longer in his prime age. So Man United can expect much on Joselu to improve the attacking line of Man United. If Man United management wants to have a big change for their attacking, they must sign a better player. Victor Osimhen, Lautaro Martinez, Artem Dovbyk, and Serhou Guirassy are better options.

Rasmus Hojlund can't be the main striker of Man United. He failed to show his best form this season, Man United has the right to sign a better stiker. I think it is no problem to have 2 strong strikers for Man United, they can be more competitive with more good strikers. But I'm not really optimistic that Man United can sign a better striker because they must have expensive price. They also may be not interested to join Man United because Man United is not a part of top teams in EPL anymore.

Of course, the mood is not right at Manchester United. Because the coach has not done anything to actually increase the chemistry between the players. And I do not think it is going to get fixed as long as the coach is not getting changed. And I also understand why the players think that he is going to be fired. I am convinced that if he does not get fired a lot of players are going to leave Manchester United pretty soon. And that is not going to be good for the club in the long run.
So they will have to decide what they are going to do. Keep a coach who has not been bringing in good results for them or bring in a better coach who will be able to bring in better results With some changes to the squad. Let’s be honest if the coach remains, most of the squad is going to get changed.

The next three remaining matches will determine Ten Hag future at Old Trafford, which I don't think the manager will retain to coach Manchester United next season. Relations within Manchester United seem to be in disharmony, there is no longer any mutual trust between coaches and players, as well as between club officials and managers. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that Ten Hag will most likely be fired, and rumors currently circulating say that Tuchel will be the next successor. It is difficult to make Manchester United develop for the better when there are so many problems within the team, since the start of the season Ten Hag has been arguing with his own players, this is just one example of the many problems within the team. The best option is to release Ten Hag, and rebuild with better squad depth, this might enable Manchester United to compete again in the top four of the standings next season.

[Leviathan.007]

Since Marco Reus said he wanted to leave Dortmund after years of playing there, people were not expecting to see this from this superstar player. Marco Reus was playing for Drtound for several years and he had perforce performance in this team. Also, he is very popular in the fans of Dortmund.
Marco Reus obviously is going to have offers from Saudi countries to end his career there and there is the possibility for him to join the Saudi Arabia.
But there are some rumors currently about Marco Reus playing in MLS and Louis City.
He jonied Dortomund from Borussia Mönchengladbach back in 2012.

[EL MOHA]

If you ask me sacking only Ten Hag isn’t the solution to the crisis currently at Manchester United. The players have their own fair share of the blame Infact they are the main problem of the club currently. The club has actually sacked world class managers in the past and the players with them are still around. First thing this board needs to do is to make changes to the hierarchy like they are currently doing. Put people that understand football they, then offload the old players seeing off their contract and get some few signings and then trust the youth in the club and they will be ready to give their all. If after all this Erik Ten Hag didn’t deliver then it would now be right to sack him totally

But there are some rumors currently about Marco Reus playing in MLS and Louis City.

I think Marco Reus's new destination after leaving Dortmund could be a team in MLS. Because Louis City is leading the race to sign Borussia Dortmund's captain.
Having spent 12 seasons with Dortmund, the German midfielder has become a symbol of the black and yellow team over time. Reus played 426 matches in all competitions, scoring 169 goals. He has 2 German National Cup titles, and 2 German Super Cups, and is runner-up in the UEFA Champions League. Reus, who will turn 35 later this month, has announced that the current season will be his last with Dortmund as his contract expires in the summer. A talented but often unlucky player with titles, Marco Reus is the driving force behind Dortmund's determination to win the Champions League. There would be nothing sweeter if Marco Reus left Dortmund with the UEFA Champions League title.

After 12 years with Borussia Dortmund, Marco Reus will be leaving Borussia Dortmund at the end of the current season. The Germany international right from when he arrived the club showed great signs of a footballer with great potentials but couldn't live up his full potentials and the expectations of many people especially Borussia Dortmund fans because of the constant injuries he was sustaining on intervals. Despite his injury limitations at the club, Marco Reus is one player that's deeply loved among fans of the club.
Talking about his next destination, I think he'll not go to another European club because of the level of energy that's demanded by European football. Maybe a move to the Saudi league or probably joining the Major Soccer League.

Joselu may not be good for a long time signing for Manchester United but it’s obvious that he won’t still be a wasted signing for Manchester United when they have him on their squad. Many felt him to not be a great striker for Real Madrid but checking his stats for this current season, you won’t rate him so poor and he most times comes in as substitute in almost all of their matches. Even his recent performance that gave Real Madrid a qualification to the finals of the champions league is all thanks to him and deserves a big accolade for converting the very few chances that he was given. He won’t be a long time signing choice but his presence in the club will also be beneficial to the club too.

I know this is getting about the news we saw about Mbappe leaving PSG and now it seems all the sources are pointing the same way because now we know Mbappe is not going to stay in PSG in any situation.
He didn't say where he is going to play and he hasn't confirmed his next destination yet for the next season. But he clearly said he is not going to stay in Paris and he is going to leave PSG.
However, PSG tried too hard to keep him in the team but it seems they couldn't make Mbappe stay this time.

The coach obviously did nothing for united. He was only burdening the club with all of non sense thing like implement the bad strategy combined with very bad decision making during in game. No doubt that if players are also feeling very convinced if he will be sacked as soon as possible caused by united deserved to be coached by a better coach than him.
This is why manchester united has been linked to the several clubs regarding the new coach recruitment. Manchester united must have recruited new coaches as soon as possible before it's too late. The longer united recruit the new coach, the bad impact will receivedf by the club.
Ten hag is always showing how poor he was in managint the club and why does club need to defending like he was a great coach that brings a lot of trophies for the club? im still questioning it by myself why united took it so long just to sack him.
There are a lot of great coaches available at this moment. Im sure united can find the best one through replacing him. United has a lot of money. The better used a small portion of this money to replace him as soon as possible.

Mbappe never had intention to stay in PSG even longer. he is now willing to waste his life just to play for PSG. There will be a lot of challenges to come for him once he leaves from PSG. Finally, he has decided to leave from the club. That's why i was believing mbappe would be announcing it after he failed on the UCL.



Mbappe's farewell message for PSG has been trending on twitter now. It's time for him to leave from the club as soon as possible. He will move to the chelsea. LMAO

[Oluwa-btc]

I think PSG might actually be better off without Mbappe, hear me out……

He’s such a huge personality, everything centres around him, all play goes through him. I think other players are intimidated and pass him the ball quickly, even if they’re in a better position.

I think Mbappe is the best player in the world but PSG might become a better team without him. I think it’s stupid PSG will let him go on a free as his contract will expire this summer. They should have sold him last summer for big money. They could become a better team now though, a team is about more than one player.

As for Chelsea, yes they have had a poor season but with a lot of young players, they have been better in recent weeks. Cole Palmer looks world class, I think Poch will stay.

Give him his credit/ flowers Big Man. He has been instrumental whenever available and he wasn't just doing all these for Paris Saint Germans but akso during his time with As Monaco.
At least, it's some good thing to see whenever you look at him and the records alongside numbers he has in the League 1 Competition since he started.

They have such player's like him in all clubs, same way Manchester City created all of the chances they could in the world for Erling Haaland last season. This i believe has to be the squad instructions. I play football and I know how the the coach tells his winger's to create chances and pass the ball for that special player to score.
Years back if you can remember, Real Madrid did this with the likes her of Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema.. it wasn't like Karim Benzema was a bad player but even when he has clear cut chances to score, he would pass the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo.

Same thing happened for Karim Benzema when he won the Ballon d'or that same season. Vinicius Junior was always playing the ball to him as usual.
They Paris Saint Germans will definitely feel his absence for some time. But it's a good time to see him leave so they could go ahead and build around another player.

When he arrives as a Real Madrid player next season, he will definitely be given the same treatments and one day he will also win the Ballon d'or, I don't think the world is really ready for the kind of football Real Madrid will play next season.

Yeah, as much as I think Mauricio Pochetino is a failed manager, I will definitely want to see him stay, the noise seems to have cleared completely but they need to sign up Victor Oshime next season. Number 1 Priority.
