⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Palakka]

I believe the correct word for Barcelona to describe themselves right now is "broke". Of course, the club president is not going to say that out loud. We all know they are absolutely unable to offer any money that could be anywhere near the money that is needed to bring in Haaland. And I think it is a stupid idea to believe that they will actually be able to pull that off. It is absolutely unrealistic to think about this one when the club has problems registering players sometimes because of financials.

I second your opinion.

There's no team in the world don't want to sign high quality players if they have funds and the players are interested to join, if Barcelona didn't want to sign any players, why did they welcome the players that the contract ends? e.g. Gundongan and Martinez? why did they sign Oriol Romeu that didn't even perform in Girona?

They might able to sign new players, but it's either old players or from second tier leagues.

In recent seasons, of course, we cannot expect that Barcelona will buying players with quality and also high prices, the financial problems that befall them at this time certainly force Barcelona to only wait and look for old players and also free transfers to be able to their  recruit and of course fans cannot expect Barcelona performance to be extraordinary by relying on outcast players from other clubs,  Currently Barcelona finances are indeed slumped making Barcelona no longer as tough as the previous 5 seasons, but fortunately for Barcelona because they have Xavi who can still help Barcelona become better now even though he is unable to compete in the championship, but Xavi at least still makes Barcelona a top 4 team in La Liga this season.

Barcelona are currently aggressively looking for new players, and as you said of course they only target old players and also players who do not get a main place in other teams, besides that to get new players of course Barcelona must sell young players or also their current star players in order to get money and of course in order to maintain their financial stability including salaries so as not to get sanctions from the la liga authorities, In addition, it is reported that Barcelona has been difficult to register new players without releasing other players from the squad because Barcelona is still in trouble with Financial Fair Play.

Barcelona president, Joan Laporta, has insisted the club does not need “big signings” this summer.
Laporta was responding to questions during an interview with MD, where he was asked about Erling Haaland rumours.
He said: “We don’t need any big signing. There will be movements but I don’t anticipate big ones, just team players.
“Our priority is to trust the team we have right now, we don’t want to sign players who could distort our harmony.”

Barcelona has no money to do big signing. This is what laporta wanna tell the journalist. It was not true if they don't need the big signing.

I remember when barcelona has confirmed to cancel its interest to recruit bernardo silva from manchester city.

This

Barcelona could move away from a deal for Bernardo Silva as they eye a loan move for young winger Xavi Simons.

https://www.goal.com/en/lists/barcelona-bernardo-silva-xavi-simons-transfer-man-city/blt56af6920523d50cf

Hoping barcelona to buy haaland is something impossible to happen. barcelona has not been allowed to register the new players if club has not yet even reached the milestone set by la liga in order to lift the ban for the club to add new player.

How can barcelona buy a new player? that's something impossible to imagine. Even barcelona decide to take xavi simons as a loan. It proves that how poor the financial condition of barcelona.

The latest rumor comes from one of Leverkusen's retainers, namely Jeremie Frimpong, who reportedly wants to leave Leverkusen at the end of the season. Maybe you don't know the reason why he wants to move, but what is clear is that the young player seems to want to increase his experience in European football.

I think it's only natural that after experiencing a great season with Leverkusen in the end he chose to leave and of course he will be a target for several elite European teams. Leverkusen's fullback is very productive, not only helping from attack to defense but also often contributing through goals and assists. If Leverkusen loses him this summer, it will certainly be a loss that is quite difficult to overcome. His release clause is only around 40 million euros and that is slightly cheaper than his market value of 50 million euros. So this will be an exciting round as to who will get it later.

He has been linked with a move to Manchester United and I'm not surprised because he will fit in well for that fullback role same way he has been for Bayern Leverkusen this season. With Aaron Wan Bisakka leaving at the end of the season, they will be bringing in another young right fullback to battle down that position with Diego Dalot.

Even the new owners of Manchester United are interested in seeing him join, it is a good thing to see that Manchester United has started the recruitment of top quality players ahead of the Euro's, Pre-season and also the season.

As for Kylian Mbappe changing positions to the Central Forward position that I can't say, bit if he has been a good observer ofhow Ronaldo stopped dribbling only to start banging these goals the better for him and the bigger his chances of winning the Ballon d'or Award.
Scoring so many goals in La Liga will be great, he should just focus on that and he will win the Champions League Competition and the Ballon d'or award ahead in the future.

Liverpool have seen a £103m bid for Rodrygo knocked back by Real Madrid, who are not interested in even contemplating selling the forward. (El Chiringuito - Spain)

Liverpool will face another challenge in finding a suitable replacement for Salah because it's hard to find the one who has almost similar ability like him. The Reds saw their offer for Rodrygo rejected by Real Madrid after rumors circulated that the Reds had prepared 103 million euros for him and madrid doesn't even need money at this money. We know that how rich madrid is. That's a fair price because Rodrygo was on the same level as Mbappe and real madrid is having so many big players in the club.
It saddens me that Real Madrid isn't even interested in selling its forward. Liverpool may be struggling to find someone like Salah and club needs to find that as a part of regeneration plan owned by liverpool. I believe the club will have sent Salah a new offer to extend his contract with the club. His contribution is critical for the club at this time.

Already I knew that Real Madrid cannot afford to lose important players like Rodrigo, Jude Bellingham or Vinicius Jnr for now because these players are good asset to the club as only their influence in matches can even boost Real Madrid confidence in winning thereby they can't think of letting go of those valuable players for now however, Rodrigo's champions league semi finals brace that he scored for Real Madrid which made them advance to the finals is even enough reason to retain the player to the team so definitely for Liverpool to find Salah's replacement might be impossible. Mohammed Salah's move to the Saudi Arabia side was a personal decision of the player so there was nothing Liverpool would have done to renew his contract however the club at this time needs to learn how to cope without Salah after all the managed their self when Sadio Mane left the club though Sadio Mane and Mohammed Salah were two important forwards that Liverpool had but it's unfortunate that both players have left the team now.

It is extremely difficult to find someone who can play as well as he does. Salah was on the same level as Mbappe, Rodrygo, or even Vinicius. This is why it will take a long time for Liverpool to find someone who can match Salah's contribution.
Real Madrid has so many world-class players, but the club isn't even interested in selling its attackers. It is a difficult time for Liverpool to find a suitable candidate to replace Salah.

Mohammed Salah made a lot of positive contributions to Liverpool during his time at the club no doubt but making comparison to Rodrigo, Mbappe and Vinicius Jnr may not really be accurate as you think because this Real Madrid boys made very great impact and achievement for Real Madrid when compared to Real Madrid even Mbappe did better for PSG when compared with Mohammed Salah's impact to Liverpool but all the same he is a good player.

Real Madrid have the finance and they still want the players to continue in this awesome achievements for the team that is why the club ain't interested in selling any of their notable players yet except on personal decision.

We know that how rich madrid is. That's a fair price because Rodrygo was on the same level as Mbappe and real madrid is having so many big players in the club.

It is funny that Liverpool is trying to sign Rodrygo with 103 million euros. 
We all know Real Madrid has no plan to sell Rodrygo, he is a part of Real Madrid future. So, it is clear that Rodrygo isn't for sale. Moreover, Liverpool only offers 103 million euros, meanwhile the current market value of Rodrygo is about 100 million euros. I think Real Madrid only considers to sell him if any club wants to pay for 150 million euros at least.

It saddens me that Real Madrid isn't even interested in selling its forward. Liverpool may be struggling to find someone like Salah and club needs to find that as a part of regeneration plan owned by liverpool. I believe the club will have sent Salah a new offer to extend his contract with the club. His contribution is critical for the club at this time.

You feel sad because you're a Liverpool fan. 
I think it is normal that Real Madrid rejected the offer because it is not worthy for them. Liverpool doesn't make an interesting offer, Liverpool must make a more serious offer if they really wants to sign him. Anyway, Real Madrid isn't in a bad financial, they don't really need fresh money. I think they prefer to keep their key players for the next season.

Salah role will be irreplaceable in Liverpool. Liverpool should extend his contract before Salah considers to move to a new club. They will never easily find out a right-winger who has the same quality as Salah.

His release clause is only around 40 million euros and that is slightly cheaper than his market value of 50 million euros. So this will be an exciting round as to who will get it later.

Jeremie Frimpong has long term contract with Leverkusen because last year he has signing contract extension until 2028 and Frimpong has through an fantastic season with Leverkusen and potentially he will gets another trophies from Europa League and DFB Pokal with Leverkusen so in my opinion Frimpong should be stayed at Leverkusen because in this team Xabi Alonso always be playing him regularly and about his future in Leverkusen actually Frimpong has refuse several rumours about him because Frimpong said he want to stay longer in this team to gets more trophies but everything is still possible to happend

Frimpong has release clause into his contract 40 millions and it will be activated for next month so those who interested to him should be buy according to his release clause price and indeed Frimpong performance is really impressive this season so this makes some of big clubs were putting him into their radar and it says Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Manchester United is really serious want him especially Real Madrid and why they were interested want to buy Frimpong because they want to regeneration their defensive lines especially for right back position so Real Madrid want to used Frimpong as the replacement of Dani Carvajal and Lucas Vazquez where the age of these players is more than 30 years old now

[Leviathan.007]

We already knew that he is leaving PSG. I think it is not a secret that he wants to go to Real Madrid and almost everything is set up for him to arrive at Real Madrid after this season ends. I think PSG is actually not trying to do anything more at this point. Because they know that by keeping him they are not going to make much of a difference. As long as they are not making a balanced club, it is not going to matter how expensive one player is in the squad. But I believe Real Madrid is definitely going to be on a different level in the next season.

One problem Real Madrid might face is that Mbappé wants to play on the left. And they already have Vini on the left. I think they are going to do something with Mbappé that they did with Cristiano Ronaldo. They might force him to play on the striker position and I think this plan is not going to work out badly at all.

Yeah I believe he is Versatile enough to cope in that position so Real Madrid adjusting him isn't actually the issue, my problem is that if he gets there, will he turn out to injury prone like the likes of Eden harzard who went with so much promises but at the long run of everything played fewer than lesser games and really disappointed almost all his fan and well wishers. Mbappe is quite different compared to harzard though because the little man actually enjoys being kicked and mark out where as mbappe runs away from anything tackle.

Now after comparing Mbappe with some other players like Cavani, you can understand it clearly that Mbappe was the best player of PSG since the start of PSG and losing Mbappe is going cost a lot for them because they cannot find an alternative player to take his place in the team. They were hoping to get an achievement with their superstar player in the Champions League but now after he left PSG they won't have this hope anymore.
On the other hand, Real Madrid is going to be much stronger than they are right now with Mbappe in their team.

[QueenVera]

Currently, Wirtz is definitely a worthy target for the midfield because with the performance that Wirtz did with Leverkusen this season, there will definitely be a lot of clubs interested in this player.
Apart from he can be used as an attacking midfielder at Leverkusen he can also be used as a striker and targetman so that indeed his role at the club will definitely be very vital which makes interested clubs will definitely compete to bring in this player because of the flexibility he shows.

In addition, Madrid's reason also seems quite reasonable by looking for a midfielder because it is likely that Modric who leaves will definitely need a suitable replacement as an initiator but if in the end I think it could be an option because the most important thing at this time Madrid must strengthen the defense and Davies is still uncertain so Madrid must prioritize Davies and Mbappe first and then switch to the search for a midfielder.

Real Madrid has even been performing at their best with a stable defense and midfield in the team, then we think of how much more they'd perform if they eventually get an extra charge to both their defense and midfield line. Left for me, they're doing just fine with the current defense. They've in the team a lot of youngsters that are doing excellent in their general balling ability and most definitely Alphonso Davies would have been a beautiful addition.
 
 Although, Davies has been a prospect and I believe that Ancelloti who said during the January transfer window that he won't be making changes to the team, the summer break would give him the chance to effect his additions to the team. I believe they have what it takes to get the species of defense they want in the team and the team's commitment and bond would really boost their results.
 
The same scenerio applies for Mbappe who's the greatest prospect of the two for the Spanish side. His joining the team would cause good impact considering his already evident feats attained with PSG.

[Leviathan.007]

Luis Díaz the effective player of Liverpool linked to Barcelona. Luis Díaz had a good performance during this season so far while playing for Liverpool and I am sure Liverpool wants to keep this player in the team but since Klopp is leaving there is the possibility for Luis Díaz to leave the team and join Barcelona.
However, this player won't be cheap at all for a team like Barcelona, and I'm not sure if Barcelona can even supply the money for hiring Luis Díaz for their team. They can improve the team but I don't think if they have the enough money for it.

[EL MOHA]

Varane's loss is bad. He's a World Cup winner and a great leader. What, though? United is Manchester. We're the world's most successful club. We construct for the future, not the past. It would be great to sign Adarabioyo and Braitwaith. These eager young players have great potential. Their defensive combo might make Old Trafford a fortress again, like Vidic and Ferdinand. Naturally, it will take time. They require time to evolve, learn the system, and build chemistry. But with coaching and support, they may be world-class. All Manchester United activities are about winning. Young players are essential to establishing a squad that will dominate for years.

Exactly, even I wanted Varane to leave, i don’t have problem with is playing pattern but one thing about me is I find players who are injury prone to be not too ok for the club. Varane was already having a reoccurring knee injury in almost every three to four games he plays. Not that I want to support Ten Hag bad season but this defensive problems really caused him points. You cannot tell me that Martinez wouldn’t be making a good decision or better one than what Casemiro makes at the moment. So the likes of Varane sadly need to pave way for new and young lads

Frimpong has release clause into his contract 40 millions and it will be activated for next month so those who interested to him should be buy according to his release clause price and indeed Frimpong performance is really impressive this season so this makes some of big clubs were putting him into their radar and it says Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Manchester United is really serious want him especially Real Madrid and why they were interested want to buy Frimpong because they want to regeneration their defensive lines especially for right back position so Real Madrid want to used Frimpong as the replacement of Dani Carvajal and Lucas Vazquez where the age of these players is more than 30 years old now

Frimpong has the right to want to leave and go look for new challenges. The two perfect team are Manchester United and Real Madrid. At Madrid he will step in for Dani Carvajal. While at Manchester United he will battle it out with Dalot as Wan Bissaka is set to leave

But don't these players know that there are lots of talent in Barcelona and other people that could play their positions hence they would not have enough playing time, why do they still see Barcelona as a place of interest?  Luiz Diaz has a future with Liverpool, I do not think he should leave to Barcelona, If he must leave, he should think another club. Most of these players that move to Barcelona only move there because of the big name of the club and others because it has always been their dream to play for in Barcelona. Some of them end up with little time to play, or no time at all because of the plenty options.

They have declared to sign xavi simons as a loan rather than take luis diaz with a very high price. Barcelona has even cancelled its plan to recruit bernardo silva from manchester city. How can they recruit diaz now? Barcelona has no money even to recruit bernardo silva.
Barcelona is a poor club now. It has no money to buy a good player. Improving the team needs a lot of money and barcelona is running out of it due to the terrible financial management owned by the blaugrana. It's not even surprise me to see that barcelona has said they will not be doing a big signing in summer.
That's why people are also getting upset with barcelona at this moment. Laporta try to save barcelona's money in order to lift the ban from registering the new player.

Per The Guardian, Saudi Pro League clubs are again targeting a major spell of investment, having spent over £750 million ($950m) last summer. Salah was targeted last time out and Al-Ittihad tabled a bid worth £150m ($190m), although it was rejected by the Reds.

Saudi pro league has been putting alison as priority target after it was also including salah on the list of priorit transfer this season. It surprises me considering that there are so many great goal keepers in european competitions. It's also questioning why must alison?
His performance is not that good. Why don't saudi pro league try to get ortega or someone else from manchester city or another club?

Frankly, the transfer developments with Barcelona seem a little less realistic to me. Barça, which is going through very difficult times economically, will work on more economical methods instead of paying large transfer money. They will focus on quality players who do not have a transfer fee. Just like they bought Ilkay Gündoğan last year, such players will definitely be on their radar this year too.

Yes, they are no longer investing heavily. They are wiping out the paper and focusing only on quality. So fans need patience unfortunately. But I bet they will return to their prime again.

Diaz actually finds success in Liverpool, but Barcelona is an important team and the names of teams such as Real Madrid and Barcelona are always enough to attract football players. I don't know what decision Diaz will make, but if Barcelona transfers him, I'm sure they won't have any problems with the deadline. He can often be in the game, as in Liverpool. The Colombian player is a very quality football player and I have thoughts that he can be more successful in La Liga.

[bitgolden]

I mean it would have been weird if the manager says "mbappe leaving will make us much weaker", of course he is going to say they are going to be stronger, it is his job to make sure that players are happy and the morale is high, he should make it sound like since he is gone, we are going to share the ball a lot more so that we do not have to pamper to his needs and give him the ball all the time, we are going to play selfless football and make it better etc etc.

It is his duty to make sure that the team keeps getting better, saying they will miss mbappe and will be terrible because he is not there, would be idiotic and would not make sense at all. I personally believe that what Enrique said is quite normal in these circumstances.

His performance is not that good. Why don't saudi pro league try to get ortega or someone else from manchester city or another club?

What is important now for the Saudi Pro League is to increase its brand value and Alison Becker is a career goalkeeper who can affect the brand value. That's why getting Alison sounds better to them than getting Ortega. I think they are right in their way of thinking. Maybe in a few years they can use the brand quality of the league to transfer the players they want, but the important thing now is to increase the brand of the SPL.

Several players have been linked with Barcelona, but is it possible for a club like Barcelona, which is not yet out of financial difficulties, to be very active in the transfer market, especially by buying players whose status is still under contract and are priced high by their home club, as you mentioned Luiz Dias is not a player who have a price that matches Barca's financial status, they will be more aggressive in looking for players who are considered suitable for their typical game but who are free of contract or who are clubs as long as they are willing to make a loan, and of course Luiz Dias will not be loaned to any club by Liverpool, the club that wants him must buy.

[Helena Yu]

But don't these players know that there are lots of talent in Barcelona and other people that could play their positions hence they would not have enough playing time, why do they still see Barcelona as a place of interest?  Luiz Diaz has a future with Liverpool, I do not think he should leave to Barcelona, If he must leave, he should think another club.

Who are the quality wingers in Barcelona?

Raphinha? he's inconsistent.
Felix? he's gone.
Torres? a bad player, Barcelona might put him on transfer window.
Only Yamal is quite good.

Luis Diaz will be included in starting line up since he's a good player, it just that we don't know how sure the rumor is considering Barcelona can't afford to pay high signing fees and Diaz need to accept salary cut too.
