⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[doomloop]

This is something that every team should be expecting, relying on just one player is not the best thing because one way or the other the player will want to leave when they have a better offer or want to try another league or even in the sooner future the player will reach retirement age. After all the good fortune Messi brought to Barcelona, he left when the time came, same happened to Ronaldo in Real Madrid, so the case of Mbappe shouldn’t be something surprising to Paris-Saint German. Mbappe really played his part well when he was with the team, he has moved on, so should the club also do and look for replacement as soon as possible. His void won’t affect them that much because of the nature of league they’re participating in, not as competitive as other leagues.

They do not rely on him as far as i know. There has not been an excellent result from in a while now who would choose to rely on someone like that. Mbape needs to get out of the club because he is not getting any younger. There are a lot of milestones to achieve and still playing at PSG he wont get other trophies and make big name for himself.

I will agree with you that Mbape literally played his part so well. His team mates were not qualified to work with him because they do not have the same ratings just like him.

While we are having in soccer we have never been able to rely on one player because this is never been going to work and things can go deeply down if someone having mindset like this even we have to blame PSG management to do things which were never been helpful for them to have best results because they never try to have strong team depth they mostly work for star players which give them good brand, but results were never been ideal for them due to no having good chemistry between players which give them better results and trophies as well.

Mbappé was doing his work and this give him and his team good reward as well but at the end when he feels things are not going as they needed then we have change of mind, and they were not able to secure him with now they need changes and improved quality which give them better results even this all is not easy but still we will have some good names here at this club in the future.

Report have it that Matthijs de Ligt have accepted a contract offer from Manchester United, while the Old Trafford club and Bayern Munich are currently discussing on the fee. Considering the report, it's obvious that the Netherlands international will be heading to the Manchester club this summer which I personally think will be a good move for Manchester United after their former defender Raphael Varane left the club.

He meant to ignore not playing in the Champions League when it was a personal decision to accept the offer to join Manchester United. My estimate regarding de Ligt's decision is that if he joins Manchester United, Matthijs de Ligt will have the opportunity to get a lot of playing minutes because Manchester United no longer has Varane so Matthijs de Ligt will get the opportunity to strengthen the Netherlands national team.

I think it is a good offer for De Ligt because he will be the leader in the back line. De Ligt will also definitely get regular playing minutes because Erik Ten Haag also really wants him. It is true that all players really want to participate in the Champions League, but if you are patient and choose Manchester United and then are able to make the team rise then the honor will be more beautiful to enjoy.

[AYOBA]

Finally, my expectation is coming true now, and yamal is closer in joining Barcelona. I think joining Barcelona was Nico William's best decision. The way Nico performed in Euro 2024 really impressed many parties (included Laporta). And barcelona has more benefit by having yamal on its side.

This is news good news to hear, I think by now Barcelona can have able to improve their performance back with this one yamal since although that the guy is great players in Europe, let see how him can make turn the team to standard, because their some players that if they where perform better in their clubs once they signed them into another clubs their performance can definitely change badly.

We know that Yamal was Nico William's bestie. This helps barcelona to pursue him. It seems barcelona now has a project to bring Spanish attackers to the club. Nico can get many benefits from joining in Barcelona. He can advance his career at one of the best clubs in the world and play with his best friends. This will give him much more confidence to pick barcelona instead of another club. Im sure this news is also disappointing many clubs who tried to pursue him such as Arsenal or Chelsea.

Yeah the fact that the news has going around which will actually disappointing some of the clubs, but do include arsenal because arsenal is not a team that can disappoint against any clubs and even in terms of permanence they cannot compare Barcelona to arsenal, we can compare them to Chelsea .

My prediction is barcelona is gonna be success or equal to the real madrid, at least. As long as they can have nico and yamal on their side. Nico is getting closer, and this is a very good news. And last, Barcelona needs to recruit Olmo from leipzig to complete its squad.  

Barcelona performance will more improve since they have great squad now, but with that I don't this only two squads can lead to achieve their success they need to recruit more players again for them to be the gonna of next season.

[Marvell1]

Goal says Barcelona has already reached agreement in principle for Nico Williams. This is wonderful news for Barcelona fans undoubtedly.  

Barcelona only needs to pay for his release clause after agreeing terms verbally with the player. The clause is worth 58 million euros though. Does Barcelona have enough money to pay that sum?

I hope they do because Nico Williams would absolutely be a game changer for them. If they don't they had better sell some players which is worth for Nico. This is the only way Barcelona can compete harder against Real Madrid, by signing solid names.  

They should have the money because I don't that their financial situation will be that bad to the extent of not affording this amount to bring Nico Williams for the betterment of the team; even though they can't be able to sign more players, with their current young players in their squad, they can manage to be more competitive than expected because going to net season with their current squad without any reinforcement will not be favorable for the team, and the new manager will also find it difficult to get a good result for the team. Therefore, I will be expecting Barcelona to pay for the release clause even by selling players to raise the amount which I think will not be since they would have the money before agreeing to pay for the release clause.

www.barcablaugranes.com

Yes, I agree. Nico Williams is going to be very important for Barcelona if they can actually get him. I believe there are players in the Barcelona squad right now which Barcelona can actually get rid of to make sure that they will be able to get Nico Williams in the squad. Blaugrana better make sure that they finalize the deal. Because of the way he has performed on the international stage recently, a lot of clubs are actually very interested in him. Hansi Flick wouldn’t want to lose him to some other club.

I actually don’t think only signing Nico Williams will be enough for Hansi Flick to actually compete well enough against Real Madrid. They will have to sign more players who are actually very good. Looking at the financial situation of Barcelona, I do not see that happening.

[irhact]

If you sell players without replacement, the club will make money but the quality will decline. One of the foremost coaches in La Liga who has successfully balanced increasing profit and balancing team quality is Diego Simeone. He is one of the best coaches when it comes to making a profit from big players and grooming replacements.

He has profited from selling players but I don't think he did a very good job at managing the team as a strong competitor to Barcelona and Real Madrid. He has managed Atletico Madrid for 13 years and only won La Liga twice. He has other trophies but grading a manager in a league as successful with only two titles is very poor. Outside the league, he might have done other things that he should be praised for but in the league he only has two trophies. If other top managers had only two trophies in 13th years we'll be saying they didn't perform very well. He is a good coach but won't be mentioned as some of the best coaches in La liga history. He should change his style of play and attack more and he might win the league. Defending is no longer the way teams should be playing in modern day football. He should also stop selling his best players and use them to win the league.

[DaNNy001]

I would say that Barcelona need money but they already have a great striker who has a long career ahead of him and can do really well but anyway if they need money they can sell him for crazy prices given his young age and his enormous talent, I think half of Europe is ready to sign him to play with their team

Barcelona has everything they need to show a good game, and they definitely shouldn’t sell anyone right now, because
Flick’s position now is that they can do without new transfers, so it’s not worth selling anyone. I believe that a coach should always maintain a high spirit in the team, even if you know that there are weaknesses in the team, you need to work to strengthen them by developing existing players, only if this is not possible, think about new players. Apparently Flick wants to play with those who are in the team and this is a good choice to start with.

Well that's his choice but I think a lot of other coaches would choose to add some players that would actually make their style of game more effective although I know if he choose to go with the squad due to the fact that they are actually broke and the want to add new players would actually cause more debt to the club or the offloading of old players.

Talking about Diego Simeone with Atletico Madrid, he did manage to get a number of benefits and he was also able to maintain his playing form with the players he brought in. However, their game only stopped there, in other words there was no significant improvement. As a team they should develop increasing progress every season, and I don't see that at Atletico Madrid.
This is a note that must be used as evaluation material. They can run their business while continuing to make a profit, but on the other hand they also have to show improvement. Yes they can compete and maintain their position in the top 4, but are they satisfied with just being able to do that? it shouldn't be. Moreover, in the Champions League they are also a team that is also having difficulties. Even when they managed to reach the final they always failed to win and win the Champions League title. They must always carry out evaluations to improve team performance.

Folks, I know you're all excited about this De Ligt to Manchester United deal. He's gifted, no doubt. But this kid is leaving Champions League football for... Manchester United? Perhaps he sees something we dont. Ten Hag may have comforted him about leadership and playing time. Manchester United isnt as strong as before. They're building. Not even in Champions League.

De Ligt's a winner. He's a leader. Having that fire in his gut. Will he enjoy Europa League play? Will his couch-watching of the Champions League satisfy him? Not sure. The whole thing makes me think. Are players now more concerned with personal glory than trophies? Do they prioritise playing time over top-level play? No idea.

I hope Im mistaken. I hope De Ligt saves United. I hope he returns them to Champions League. This could be a great move for him, or it could be a huge mistake.

Apparently Flick wants to play with those who are in the team and this is a good choice to start with.

For me no, currently Barcelona could potentially not be able to borrow the Portuguese duo back. Joao Felix is ​​more reliable than Ferran Tores, Cancelo has also contributed quite a bit to Barca. If these two players are not successful in negotiations, Hansi Flick will have to offer another player instead. if Gavi recovers, he could be rotated as a shadow winger. Even so, well, it is very important that Pedri recovers quickly, including De Jong's injury. and, Gundohan remains reliable because of its stability. However, in defense, some of their performance declined last season. Moreover, Araujo could be absent at the start of the competition. on the front line, there are Lewandowski and Yamal. at least, they can be relied on.

But in fact, Barcelona needs several established newcomers. at least, players who are second liners but with almost the same abilities as the main squad. Let's assume that Barcelon will not sell any players in this window, but in fact they need quite competent reserve players in Hansi Flick's squad. If in the end Barcelona doesn't bring in any players in this window, there will be no choice but to look for young talent from the La Masia academy. Next season, will be a challenging season for Hansi Flick. Even though he has a flashy record, that alone is not enough to make Barcelona recover quickly. In the worst case scenario, if Barca doesn't buy players, Hansi Flick's task will increase as he must be able to awaken the potential of every Barcelona player.

[naira]

A very striking request from Dani Carvajal to Rodri and indeed if that really happens then Madrid puzzle piece will be complete with the presence of Rodri, a midfielder who is undoubted from a defensive perspective. However, Rodri is still under a long contract with Manchester City until June 30 2027. Madrid is his hometown so it is possible that one day we will see him in a Real Madrid uniform.

[Ahli38]

Well that's his choice but I think a lot of other coaches would choose to add some players that would actually make their style of game more effective although I know if he choose to go with the squad due to the fact that they are actually broke and the want to add new players would actually cause more debt to the club or the offloading of old players.

Well, that is a fact that cannot be denied at all. That every coach who comes to a club will definitely want to add several new players to his plans for his new club. And Hansi Flick actually also has players he wants to bring to Barcelona. And one of the players that Hansi Flick really wants to bring in is Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen. But considering Barelona's current condition, perhaps Hansi Flick will understand if his wish does not come true.

But even though Barcelona has not yet recovered from their financial problems, in fact the club seems to be trying to make its new coach's wishes come true. It's just that the release clause for Frimpong, which is quite high, namely €40 million, was still an obstacle for Barcelona last month. I didn't find any recent updates on this. But I'm sure the club is still trying to get this player for the sake of the new coach.

One of the foremost coaches in La Liga who has successfully balanced increasing profit and balancing team quality is Diego Simeone. He is one of the best coaches when it comes to making a profit from big players and grooming replacements.

But indeed this happens due to the ingenuity that always sells players at high prices but can always maximize existing players and prices that are not as expensive as when they sell and if you look at purchases and sales it seems that Barcelona has always been a barn for Atletico's finances because they always profit when doing business with Barcelona when they bring in players or sell players.

Some players like Arda Turan or even Griezmann were brought by Barcelona from Atletico at a very expensive price but when some players returned and were brought in from Barcelona, Atletico could always redeem at low prices even free agents, for example like Suarez and Depay, even the purchase of Griezmann was less than half the price they sold before.
It's just that when talking about Simeone at Atletico, to be honest, I don't really like this coach because I think his style is too monotonous especially since he has been at Atletico for a long time but management seems to continue to let him be at the Civitas Metropolitano.

[coinlocket$]

Calafiori is basically a deal done from Bologna to Arsenal and we are talking over 50m €.
Zirkzee is almost done from Manchester United for almost 55m€.

After the incredible season they did, Bologna is now selling all the most valuable players but the next year they still be in Champions.

So considering all I think they are doomed and will be out of the top 4 of next serie a without any doubt.

I hope Im mistaken. I hope De Ligt saves United. I hope he returns them to Champions League. This could be a great move for him, or it could be a huge mistake.

I believe he is thinking about the premier league and not Manchester United, yes, his strategy is that by playing in the premier league and if he performs well then the other big teams in the premier league will be interested in him, but the problem is that Manchester United has a great history in recent years of destroying the careers of players who went to play for Manchester United, so I see De Ligt's case ending badly like other Manchester United players. he should have stayed where he is and could only move to teams like manchester city or liverpool or arsenal if he wanted to play in the premier league

Well that's his choice but I think a lot of other coaches would choose to add some players that would actually make their style of game more effective although I know if he choose to go with the squad due to the fact that they are actually broke and the want to add new players would actually cause more debt to the club or the offloading of old players.

But I'm sure the club is still trying to get this player for the sake of the new coach.

Barcelona's problem is the management that has made poor decisions. In my opinion, Barcelona should focus on getting talented players from their academy and other clubs for a very low price and making them play for some time in the team and then selling them for a high price while at the same time the team tries to maintain - If they are in second place in La Liga when they are unable to win La Liga and should strive to get far in the European Champions League, that way Barcelona would be earning money to recover financially. but management has no ideas. They keep spending money on loaning players instead of signing good players with talent and then selling them for high prices

I hope Im mistaken. I hope De Ligt saves United. I hope he returns them to Champions League. This could be a great move for him, or it could be a huge mistake.

He knows Erik Ten Hag, he obviously knows how Erik Ten Hag builds from behind, they've won trophies together, he'll be obviously begin another solid partnership with Lisandro Martinez and Andrea Onana behind. You know how happy I feel about this move? A whole lotta people don't see what I see. But you'll see soon! Lool!
He's not just leaving Champions League, but also taking a paycut so he could swing to Manchester United. Manchester United fans should be happy a player wants them same way they do.

Erik Ten Hag is building a mass weapon, I don't know if you see anything, but I do, I can't also wait for either of Branthwaite or Yoro to join Manchester United defense also. Don't forget Ruud Van Nistelrooy also joined Erik Ten Hag who finished top of the Dutch league, yes?

The glazers handled the club wrongly, let's see what happens with the INEOS. Backing Erik Ten Hag was step one to success, getting the players who suits the club for long term is also second. The name Zirkzee to Manchester United is also a done deal. Manchester United will definitely win the Premier League Competition with Erik Ten Hag next two seasons, let's hope these players stay consistent and without Injury.

Players are overhyped and their value in the market skyrocket to the moon, it's usually understandable and it brings up outstanding outcome for such club. Diego Simeone is one of the top coaches in La Liga. He earned his respects following the numerous incredible stats and trophies won for Atletico Madrid. He's one of the oldest coach to manage an elite club in Spain so he has the experience to push for magnificent seasons with Atletico Madrid.

Considering the report, it's obvious that the Netherlands international will be heading to the Manchester club this summer which I personally think will be a good move for Manchester United after their former defender Raphael Varane left the club.

Ten Hag is currently still looking for new players who are considered capable of bringing a lot of changes to their squad next season, after losing several current players and potentially losing several more players, Ten Hag definitely has a tougher job to balance their squad in the next season, the arrival of Matthijs de Ligt is an effort to strengthen their defense next season which is very fragile this season, to be honest, what I'm a little surprised about by Manchester United current transfer movements is that they are continuing to target Dutch players to buy , because previously they have also agreed a personal contract with one of the young players previously played with at Bologna, namely Joshua Zirkzee.

The arrival of Matthijs de Ligt seems to be projected to replace Varane next season, but will the arrival of Matthijs de Ligt be the right solution for Manchester United?
Manchester United had to spend almost 50 million Euros to bring in the central defender, whose position will be replaced by Jonathan Tah at Bayern Munich next season, Manchester United reportedly only need to finalize a few details in the transfer agreement before Matthijs de Ligt joins Old Trafford for a pre-season match.

Erik Ten Hag's biggest problem with transfers is that he is obsessed with Dutch players or players that he worked with formerly. We have seen in the first few seasons he brought players from Ajax, e.g. Antony. Right now he is trying to get De Ligt, who doesn't start for either Bayern or the Netherlands.

De Ligt in his core is a good player, but it can’t be told if he will be a good signing or not. He has the right profile for a Premier League CB, but it is hard to tell if he will be a good addition for Manchester United.

Erik Ten Hag needs to find a better scout in the club so that they can get their hands on younger players from different regions. Their scouting and transfer business so far isn’t that good.

Atletico Madrid have hold on to a prominent experience coach, Diego Simeone. He delivered them during the crucial challenges faced, he didn't face down but continue to upgrade their standards in all rounds and they're basically among the top clubs in Spain football. Atletico Madrid doesn't push for more signings but make good use of the ones at their disposal.

Manchester City wont let Rodri leave , he's an important player to Pep squad. Real Madrid has good midfielders thats better than Rodri. And they won't accept Dabi request to bring his friend to Madrid,  I know at times players force some transfers but this one wont work now. May in the future because in football one can't predict transfer market.

Considering the report, it's obvious that the Netherlands international will be heading to the Manchester club this summer which I personally think will be a good move for Manchester United after their former defender Raphael Varane left the club.

Matthijs de Ligt is one player I thought would stay at a club for a very long time after leaving Ajax, he hasn't been steady at a club since that move from Ajax to the Italian giant Juventus. He would have been a better replacement for Chiellini but could not meet up base on performance. But a move to Manchester United is one of the best I have seen since I started hearing that they're looking for players in the transfer market.
At least Matthijs de Ligt can help out with the injury problem UTD have till things start running properly for them, I think they still need another defender who can play as a CB and a RB because it will help especially the right back since the player in that position isn't up to the task, talking about Aaron Wan-Bissaka. He hasn't been consistent and he needs someone to put him to test like to compete for his position, I believe he will step up if that happens.
