⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[HajiBagi]

🇭🇷 Luka Modrić has signed a 1-year contract extension with Real Madrid, keeping him at the club till 2025 ✍️

Another good news for all Madrid fan and I'm particularly happy that he's still an active legend in the game and is definitely retiring as a Madrid player maybe after the completion of next season and banging the 16th UCL title with Madrid 👏👏

Luka Modric did the right thing by signing one more year contract to stay at the club, if Modric leaves the team no old player will be able to control the team very well but staying in the team will make the team stronger, although some players can control the team like Cavajal, and Lucas Vasquez but Modric is the older player in the squad and it will make the squad better and United before leaving the club, it will not sound well if Kroos and Modric leave the team at the same time, two legends can not leave the team at the same time and I believe Modric will make Real Madrid a better team as a new captain of the team.

Although, surely, modric will not have much time to play for Real Madrid because Real Madrid has many young players that they want to use so that they can improve their performances if Modric leaves the team, Modric also knows that he will not have much time to play for next season and he will always stand as a coach for the team when they are playing to improve them and believe that Real Madrid will win 16 champion league trophy before Modric leaves the team.

Guardiola is good at everything. He would be an excellent fit for England. But, the chances of getting him are astronomically low. I hope he can help England face world cup.

Pep Guardiola had a successful career in Spain, a good career in Germany and is having a wonderful time in England. If he can successfully guide Manchester city the fifth consecutive premier League title then it will mean that he has successfully dominated the premier League and needs a new type of challenge. England has not won a major trophy in many years and if pep guardiola becomes the coach to break that curse, he would have made himself a bigger Legend in England.
Winning with England will be a bigger record than winning with Spain who just won the Euros. This is if he accepts the Job.

There is no need to debate Pep Guardiola quality, he is one of the greatest coaches in football history. He has won several prestigious trophies at club level, including presenting the first UCL trophy for Manchester City. Guardiola has also managed to conquer the EPL by winning four trophies in a row, he has achieved success with Manchester City and has become a club legend.

A new challenge for him may be at international level, I prefer him to manage the Brazilian national team because they both have almost the same style. The chemistry between the Brazilian players and Guardiola will connect well because the strategies used by Guardiola are very easy for the players to understand. I think Guardiola would think twice about accepting an offer from England, but if it came from Spain or Brazil, maybe he would consider it.

Napoli signing Lukaku is solely dependent on the sale of Osimhen. Yes, Conte has let the club understand his preferred Candidate in the attack. I believe that the club willl begin talk with Chelsea when they can finalize Osimhen deal.
Right now, there are speculations that PSG has started discussing with Osimhen entourage. I think PSG x Osimhen is one to watch for the window.
Although they plan to sell to be able to make concrete move for him.  But he’s on their radar.

If mang is like this, then inevitably for now Napoli must decide quickly about Osimhen's problem, because seeing the situation that is happening now, actually we must be aware that the Osimhen problem is too floating as if Napoli do not want to lose Osimhen but on the other hand they themselves do not appreciate Osimhen to date and indeed this season is proof that not only once Napoli's treatment of Osimhen seems cornered and makes Osimhen uneasy.

If in the end they want to replace Lukaku then I think they have to decide from now on. Because after all, time continues to pass and they could have complicated problems if in the end they don't decide on a decision that could be important because for Napoli next season they not only have problems with attack but they have to improve the defense so it takes time for this adjustment and they shouldn't spend time just for the Osimhen problem.

National team is not like league teams because league teams plays matches more frequently than the National team and are more accustomed to each other's pattern of play than players of the national team so even though Pep Guardiola has recorded huge success in the European teams he coached, it doesn't mean if he chooses to coach a countryside like England that he's gonna succeed and regardless of the fact that England has a very quality squad, i feel the players are not coordinated enough because if we check their individual performance in the just ended UEFA EURO tournament, none of the players really worked extra hard for the team. It was only Phil Foden, Saka and Harry Kane that did little for the team but it wasn't enough to make them win the tournament.

I feel if Pep Guardiola decides to coach the England national team, things make not actually work the way we think, so he's better stay within the league teams. Already Pep Guardiola has dominated the premier league since he started managing Manchester City so whether he wins a fifth consecutive title or not he has made an outstanding record of four consecutive premier league trophies for Manchester City so his achievement in the England premier league will surely stand the test of time.

Kylian Mbappe will wear the number 9 back with Real Madrid next season, maybe he wants to follow in the footsteps of his idol when he first joined Real Madrid who at that time also wore the number 9 back, Critiano Ronaldo. He looked happy after being officially introduced to the public because this was the club he had dreamed of since childhood. Now everything is certain that Mbappe will play for Real Madrid.

I can't wait to see how this young player will perform with Real Madrid next season, and whether in his first season he will achieve as many achievements as his predecessor, Jude Bellingham, who successfully won the La Liga title and also the Champions League in his first season. It's worth waiting for this player's appearance after years of rumors of joining Real Madrid and also with several dramas that occurred.

[Velvet78]

It was nice to see Zidane and Mbappe together at the stadium during the ceremony.    One is Real Madrid's past while the other is the future of it.

Mbappe seems like he is filled with joy to join Real Madrid. It is like he is much more relieved now. Because you know, he has given his years to PSG but still no success higher than just Ligue 1 titles.    He was even treated badly at the beginning of the previous season. He was threatened with not selecting him for the main lineup. But they couldn't do such thing later though.

Anyways, Mbappe signing is the best thing Real Madrid could do in this transfer window. Now they would focus on finishing touches for other positions and they would be good to go for many more trophies.

This SAGA transfer is over because now we have seen how Real Madrid introduced Mbappe to their fans, especially getting Mbappe for free if last season Real Madrid recruited him it would have had to spend 200 million but for now it's not, genius.

In a month LaLiga will start we will know how Mbappe looks there this is certainly very much awaited by his fans even I myself can't wait to see him play for Real Madrid.
Real Madrid has never lacked players for the current season in addition to Mbappe being his new squad this adds to Real Madrid's performance for the better, and surely many people say Real Madrid will win LaLiga and UCL again.

Anyone who watched how Kylian Mbappe was unveiled yesterday as a Real Madrid player and his actions will easily agree with you about his desire to follow the footsteps of his football idol Cristiano Ronaldo who happens to be a Real Madrid legend. He greeted the club fans in a similar fashion like Cristiano Ronaldo did  in that same ground 15 years ago with that same jersey number. I wasn't surprised that Kylian Mbappe was extremely happy to be unveiled as a Real Madrid fan because he's been a fan of the club from his childhood days.
Now, that he's made many fans of the club to know he idolizes Cristiano Ronaldo, he should also know that the club fans will be expecting him to do the things Cristiano Ronaldo achieved with the club and even beyond. I believe in the football abilities of Kylian Mbappe to succeed at Real Madrid and can't wait to see him play for the club next season.

So far no one is really serious about bringing in Osimhen, but it seems that after the Euro and Copa America championships several clubs have been linked with Osimhen again. The latest news is that PSG seems to be targeting Osimhen as their target in this transfer window. Initially, Osimhen was reluctant to be rumored to play in Lique 1, but it seems that the most realistic person to fulfill his desire to play in the Champions League is Paris Saint-Germain. In particular, PSG always subscribes to competing in UCL competitions.

Unlike Chelsea, the Blues do not participate in the UCL competition. Maybe that's why Osimhen is reportedly excited to join the French League giants. yes, quoted from Fabrizio Romano. Apart from that, Chelsea's news regarding Osimhen is still confusing. Even if Chelsea want Osimhen, they will have to let go of several of their players. I'm not sure about PSG, but it seems PSG is the ideal club right now for Osimhen. As for Napoli, as reported by many newspapers, Nopoli will bring in Lukaku if it is confirmed that Osimhen will leave the Stadio Diego Armado Maradona.

[Mr.suevie]

Lukaku has been moving on loan for a couple of years now, i hope he can finally be sold now and move away from Chelsea for good, all these different loan moves hasn't helped his career, though i know it is due to his transfer fee and salary/wages. If Napoli sell Osimhen, they will receive a lot of money from the transfer, so they should be able to use that and fund a transfer for Lukaku.

I feel Napoli are hesitant to sell Osimhen out because it might be hard to get his replacement but from what I've seen of Lukaku, he fits the bill. Granted, he may not be able to leap in the air like the Nigerian, but he can still be able to use his size to his benefit. Truely, the Belgian needs to be bought permanently by a club because continuous loaning of a player can affect his performance; he won't be able have roots.
As for Osimhen, he should leave the club now he's still a hot cake because the way I see it, if he continues to remain at Napoli and doesn't give good results, his value will be dropping gradually especially now that Antonio Conte has taken over the job from Walter as coach. I doubt he'd be seeing much playing time like enjoyed under Walter and the coaches before him.

In my own terms I would prefer osimien to actually come to the English premier league where the competition and struggles is very fierce atleast it would help me stay in check in terms of scoring goals because I believe as a striker the goals by other players and fight for the golden boot actually helps and boost the confidence to wanting to do it every week knowing fully well others are behind your back.

This is a dream come true for the Frenchman because he has always wanted to move to Real Madrid. The number nine Jersey is iconic, which means the club expects much from the striker. The attacking squad of Madrid will be very competitive since the club has an array of quality players. He is an exceptional player who has the ability and talent to contribute positively to the club.

My only reservation about Kylian Mbappe is his selfish playing style. Sometimes he prefers to go for goal from a tight position when he has a better chance of passing to a well-positioned player. His greatest undoing might be his inability to be a team player. He should know that he is not the only superstar now in Madrid unlike how he was pampered in PSG. He should learn not to expect to get all the attention from players and management.

After Zirkzee's arrival to accompany Hojlound, Man United continued to add new players. Maigure's instability problems in many matches last season made Ten Hag eyeing his replacement. One of the new players in the Defender position is Leny Yoro. He is 18 years old, playing for Lille, reportedly Man United has to spend €70 million. Reportedly De Light is also a target for Ten Hag, but the condition of Yoro's arrival could delay De Lihgt arrival.

In the news media, if Mbappe joined Real Madrid when he was introduced, the figures of Zidane and Ronaldo were used as benchmarks. Zidane and Cristiano Ronaldo are Real Madrid's past. Mbappe is Real Madrid's future hope. What Mbappe was most compared to during his introduction was Ronaldo, starting from entering the field, his jersey number and Mbappe's appearance when he said Hala Madrid.

Anyways, Mbappe signing is the best thing Real Madrid could do in this transfer window. Now they would focus on finishing touches for other positions and they would be good to go for many more trophies. 

At the moment it can be considered that he is the best purchase, but it could be the worst signing if Mbappe cannot perform optimally because previously there were already well-known and well-known players who did not develop at the Santiago Bernabeu. For me, at the moment Real Madrid's best purchase and recruitment is Jude Bellingham.

[KTChampions]

It's a great trend, I think. Players are ordinary workers/asset owners and not slaves, so it is fair that they manage their labor, and not some “third parties”. It is clear that in the future we will still see cases where one club receives huge amounts of money simply for the fact that it breaks a contract with a player early, but in most cases, the beneficiaries will be the players themselves.

I don't see anything wrong with a club taking huge money for the sale of a player. They have a contract with that player and if the player wants to leave the club that wants him has to pay the asking price. If the player stays and sees out his contract then that's a win-win for both the player, and the clubs.
I also like the idea of a "release clause". This helps the player gain some money from the sale too. Why I like it because since the player has a contract with a club if another club wants him, you have to trigger his release clause.
Also, if the transfer of the player was not up to the club but to the player alone, the player can just negotiate with another club and agree to sign for them thereby disrupting the plans of his current club.

I never said that any party (player or club) can terminate a contract without paying compensation. I compare the current situation with the past, when clubs “traded” their rights to players but paying a signing bonus was not accepted (at least in modern amounts). Now the situation has changed and in fact there is no difference whether you buy a player with a valid contract (pay compensation to another club) or a free agent (pay a signing bonus).

Mbappe is Real Madrid's future hope.

I see what Real Madrid is doing eye service. Mbape is might be the highest goal scorer in PSG all his life but I don't think the league is that tough to make goals like he is going to do in Real Madrid, Messi spent justb2 years and he made many goals but here is Spain and there is nothing like El classico there. There is much competition here for him than what he is doing but I see that Perez are trying to impress him that he is welcome when there is much work to do.

At the moment it can be considered that he is the best purchase, but it could be the worst signing if Mbappe cannot perform optimally because previously there were already well-known and well-known players who did not develop at the Santiago Bernabeu. For me, at the moment Real Madrid's best purchase and recruitment is Jude Bellingham.

He is lucky that Real Madrid players don't put work load on a particular player, there team work is best to known, he will do well in the short time but people are praising him like he is going to do something new in Real Madrid. Even if they should give him 5 years to stay in Real Madrid, he dare not beat what Ronaldo has done for that club, not in this era.

[red4slash]

Actually, if Chelsea really wants Osimhen to be in their squad, I think it's still not a problem because for the current price problem it seems that Chelsea will not be responsible because seeing from the previous 2 seasons where they always spent very large sums of money it seems they have fallen and for what is minimizing finances at this time even though it is a little against FFP.

Chelsea really want Osimhen to be part of their squad and their very since on which they can definitely make that possible, although that after Chelsea are lack of financial after spent alot of money in previous yeas back, but for me i don't the financial is their main issues is just even when they're trying to sign a players, their not getting a better squad. That's why they performance is moving forward.

From the beginning I did not say that money was a problem for Chelsea because after what they showed from 2 seasons ago until now it does not seem suitable to say Chelsea hassles in money problems, it's just that what must be considered is their financial circulation where expenses and income of course must be controlled especially in 2 seasons they always overhaul which in the end only makes them confused because they always get losses in the end-of-season cash.
In addition, FFP must also be considered even though for now it seems that regulations in the EPL are always targeting small clubs in FFP but still Chelsea must also be careful with it.

In addition, Napoli's interest in bringing Lukaku can also still be used as a good means to smooth out the wishes of Chelsea if indeed they want to bring Osimhen to Stamford Bridge. It's just that with the current situation it seems that it is clearly still a gray condition because Chelsea also still does not have that much interest in Osimhen, especially since there are already 3 players who have actually been inaugurated by Chelsea to strengthen the club next season.

If that can actually happen has Napoli is having interesting in sign the lukaku is fine, but still the lukaku will not make the team better like how the Osimhen turned the team to a very standard. However, for now Napoli will not know what the Osimhen have done to them till after he left the team that will latter regret about the him.

We won't know until we try. Not to equate Lukaku with Osimhen in this case because after all, in terms of age and prime now it is different. But this is a good option where when Napoli need money and a replacement striker if Osimhen leaves then Lukaku could be a good option especially with the personal closeness of Lukaku and Conte clearly this could be a good thing if realized because in the end apart from the remaining money Napoli have they can also get Lukaku as a replacement. Although it cannot be denied that in the end there will be differences in terms of performance between Lukaku and Osimhen but I think it is still worth trying.

News from insiders.

Today will be the day of the official goodbye to Rabiot from Juventus.
We still don't know yet where he will go but we know that tomorrow ill we the BB day.

In the time Juvenuts according to l'equipe bought Cabal, medical for tomorrow.

[Lida93]

I don't really think so, I think Chelsea is also in the mix, just that it's the high cost of his transfer that has put them off for now, but if the transfer fee is reduced a little bit, I believe that they will definitely make their interest official, then talking of PSG, I think he is more likely to sign there because they need someone big to fill the void left by Mbappe, so what they are just doing now is just evaluating their options, and be looking if they can get a cheaper deal by delaying their approach till the closing stage of the transfer window.

Actually, if Chelsea really wants Osimhen to be in their squad, I think it's still not a problem because for the current price problem it seems that Chelsea will not be responsible because seeing from the previous 2 seasons where they always spent very large sums of money it seems they have fallen and for what is minimizing finances at this time even though it is a little against FFP.

Yea every club is careful not to encroach against FFP but that doesn't stop Chelsea from buying Osimhen it's just the transfer fee placed on him by Napoli that has been the barrier. What we need to understand is that if the fee was that fair enough PSG who are also in the race for Osimhen as a replacement for Mbappe won't waste much time in sealing a deal seeing that Chelsea are slacking behind in their bid.

 But like I had said earlier, if it be that Osimhen doesn't sign for any club yet close to the end of the transfer window and with how obvious Conte has made it known that Osimhen isn't in his plans for next season,  Napoli will be forced to reduce his fees and probably PSG or Chelsea will hijack it as soon as that happens.

[arallmuus]

For me, at the moment Real Madrid's best purchase and recruitment is Jude Bellingham.

In terms of performance and transfer fee, Vini is better. Vini was signed for €45mil and Bellingham was signed for €103mil. I could totally argue with you that both arguably played wonderful seasons with Real Madrid and won those trophies for Real Madrid. Both has significant impact on the club so yeah Vini is just way better in this case although both flop so bad in Euro and Copa America
