⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Mr.right85]

Calafiori is not 100% to Arsenal yet.
Bologna wants 50mil €, according to rumors Arsenal offered 40€.

The deal is not done yet but if they really wants the player I can't see a big problem for them reaching 45m€, they are in premier they have a lot of money after all.

This deal is very complicated. I hate that third party nonsense. Bologna needs the cash and they want to boycott Basel, which is very very bad. You bought someone for €2m and you stand to gain over €20m on the deal as per the 50% sell on clause. There’s absolutely no negotiation to be done from Basel. If they’re unhappy with how much they’re getting for him, they should charge Arsenal more. They wouldn’t have agreed to such a high sell in clause if they believed the player was going to develop into a very good player that would be fetching them this much. They played themselves! I hope Basel doesn't agree to that nonsense. If the deal slags longer, maybe the best way to solve this is for Arsenal to increase the fee..like €50m-€55m.
I wonder if arsenal can do that. Arsenal also need to sell and they haven't.  I also think Arsenal are focusing on the wrong thing.

You all be sounding ridiculous as though it's a waste of funds by Ten Hag spending such amount of money on the  centre-back from Lillie if he wasn't that good and worth the fee as you all be saying then clubs like Liverpool and Real Madrid wouldn't have been in the race for Yoro as Manchester united. The player by his age is a potential for the club future signing a five year deal at a time Manchester united is in dire need of creative defenders for a long term competitive plan in the EPL. I probably think you all should hold your criticism until you see him play and not comparing him with Maguire just too quick.

Manchester United definitely needs to strengthen its defense, in my opinion, this was one of the most problematic lines in the team. Ten Hag receives funds for transfers, which means he is still trusted, considering that he was on the verge of being fired, this is very good. I don’t expect that Manchester United will be able to become a noticeably different team in the new season, I think that for this to happen very significant changes need to be made, but Ten Hag will try again.

He is a young defender and Real Madrid was after him. I think if he didn't deserve this money, other clubs wouldn't be after him. Since the area where Manchester United generally had problems was the defensive line, they had to strengthen it here.

Eric Tan Hag, although this player is young, is at a very good level. What I can say is that before Eric Tan Heg arrived two seasons ago, Manchester United's situation was much worse, he achieved at least a few successes and made the team better than then, maybe he can make the team better this season.

[arallmuus]

Atletico MArdid is trying for Alavarez but for me there is no chance that Manchester City will allow it.

Manchester City wont allow it unless Alvarez really push through this deak and this is my personal opinion but for a 24 years old player like Alvarez, its about time for him to get out of his safe zone unless really wants to spend his time playing as Haaland's shadow

Yeah Pep would most likely rotate him with Haaland or put him behind Haaland but he is way better than that, other club would have offered him full playing time on most games so its just way better scenario for him

[Stepstowealth]

Amadou Onana is very close to Aston Villa, and it will be done this weekend according to Sky Sports.

Onana is a very good and strong defensive midfielder and he would be a very good player to Aston villa as they try to maintain or possibly improve the performance they had this season and also make a clean to the champions League next season as they have qualified for it.

Klopp is not interested in taking England national team he just wants a break.

To be the coach of England is even more demanding than being the coach of Liverpool, and since klopp is not interested in taking the England job it is obvious that he needs rest or a job that would not be as demanding as the former job he just left.

For the new Manchester United central midfielder, I look to see how he will perform next season with the butcher.

You have spoken well @SUPERSAIAN and that's exactly how it is if we're to be sincere about how Manchester united was before Ten Hag arrival at the club to manage it. The club has been struggling with many issues about the Glazier's that raze fans to request for the sale of the club to capable new hands. Nevertheless,
 if the club owners didn't observed a significant improvement with the club under Ten Hag management am unsure he would have been offered another chance to manage Manchester united and also given free hands to make choices of players he would be needing for the incoming season.

Defense was one of Manchester united trouble and he has been able to get such a young talented centre-back to pair with in that position, what I think he should do next is to go for another quality midfielder cause it's one area they need to build as well.

The rumors are that he is  eyeing the Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot who is currently standing as a free agent and to me that sounds great for a good contract to be fast tracked for Manchester united. I trust that Ten hag is going to have a wonderful season  and Manchester united fans are going to appreciate what his choices of players later on.

[Alpha Marine]

Manchester United have a long way to go next season, it’s been really a tough one for the Red Devils in the past decades but they’re gradually improving. Erik Ten Hag have to put down the necessary evidence that makes him a competitive competent coach in Old Trafford. He’s gathering the required players for next season, we believed him to be mapping out the solid sector of the big winning.

Manchester United are already doing some nice business already in this transfer window. I saw an update just now that they've agreed a personal agreement with Manuel Ugarte. It this is true then that's a positive news for United. They need a midfielder like that. Casemiro and Amrabat were underperforming last season and it would be a good thing to get a credible DM for next season.
They still have a long way to go because they need to reinforce a lot of the positions in their team, but I think they're doing a great job.
I don't have so much in Ten Hag, but with the right players he can be able to fight for the top 4. I don't think they can compete for the league, I don't think they have what it takes.

[Ndabagi01]

I pity for Ten Hag with his decisions and the heavy amount that Manchester united are spending on buying average players if he does not achieve a better result next season because this is why United management are supporting him with all they can so that he does not give excuses by the end of next season when he fails. 63M is quite big for Yoro and I hope that he shows this value on the field for united.

Well that’s what is required of him and if he can fulfill that and make Manchester United come back to their winning ways, he’ll have a long time contract with them that will make his stay in the club wonderful. Manchester United hasn’t bring in a lot of players this transfer season but there’s still more time since the transfer window hasn’t been opened for quite a long time now. With the players on ground and a good strategy used on them in the field of play, I’m sure they can produce excellent result for the team and make them outshine their other opponents when the league begins. For a person who more is given, more is expected from him, I don’t think Ten Hag will joke on this opportunity given to him again.

[Amphenomenon]

Amadou Onana is very close to Aston Villa, and it will be done this weekend according to Sky Sports.

I think we can say Amadou Onana move to Aston villa is a done deal, Aston Villa are seriously recruiting stars I'm curious to see how well they go this coming season, I guessed this was among the reason a top coach like Unai choose Aston Villa.

Klopp is not interested in taking England national team he just wants a break.
Atletico MArdid is trying for Alavarez but for me there is no chance that Manchester City will allow it.

Szczesny will not go to Al-Nassr's, where he will go?

I think Klopp will stick to his break since if it would have been easy for England to convince him then Liverpool would have been having higher tendency of doing same since its obvious they never wanted him to leave not yet.

Atletico MArdid is trying for Alavarez but for me there is no chance that Manchester City will allow it.

Szczesny will not go to Al-Nassr's, where he will go?

I think if Alavarez force his way Man City might just end up letting him go to Atletico Madrid after all its not a rivals club and to be frank Alavarez deserves more playing time but I don't know how well Atletico Madrid style of play may fit him.

I don't really know if there are better options for Szczesny outside Al-Nassr's

About Julian Alvarez currently he have to compete with Haaland for one place on Manchester City front lines but i think he would be lost because most likely Guardiola will choose Haaland as striker position so that's why last season Julian Alvarez performance is not too good and this makes him thinking to leave Manchester City this summer because Julian Alvarez want to gets more opportunities to playing regularly which he won't get that as long as there is Haaland at Manchester City

Manchester City has give their respond about this rumour that they probably will release Alvarez this summer but only if Guardiola has decide will not use him anymore but Guardiola said Alvarez is still important for Manchester City and probably he will not allowing him to moved from Manchester City but this is complicated because although Guardiola want to hold him but recently Julian Alvarez has refuse contract extension which given by Manchester City

Atletico Madrid so far the most serious team who really want to buy Julian Alvarez even if Julian Alvarez is willing to moved to Atletico Madrid then they will guarantee one place on Atletico Madrid starting lineup which mean his chances to playing regularly in Atletico Madrid is very wide open compared to when he will be stayed at Manchester City and indeed after lost Morata Atletico Madrid is look for the replacement of this player and i can see Julian Alvarez is one of their candidate

[EL MOHA]

These folks have passed their prime. Varane, I love the guy, but he's not the defensive beast he used to be. Pepe Reina has experience out of the wazoo; however, is he still agile enough for Serie A? Man seems to be gambling here

You really have to consider long term. This is Serie A, not a trip for nostalgia. You need youthful blood, guys hungry, guys who can sprint for days. Yes, you might live for a little with the old guard, but without some fresh talent you will get torn up and expelled

You must so start investing in the future and get your head out of your ass. You will return in Serie B otherwise

Como is a very small club in the terms of even the financial strength they have compared to the other Serie A clubs, they miraculously managed to get promoted to the top flight and needed players but do they have the funds to sign the so called talented players No they don’t, so rather they took the route of adding experience players with which they would spend less. The young players that you said they need were the players they currently have in abundance; young talents were what the had I. This older players are needed to add experience: the like of Pepe reina is not going to be the number goalkeeper with the club but rather a backup to the incoming Diego Lopez

The current Manchester United board are definitely very good in their approach. People thought the club actually approves anything or rather every signing but no just that he was consulted as the head coach ti veto some of this signings. This is the same thing that this current board is doing but the scouting of the players now is quite different and a better approach to the past but it has nothing to do with Ten Hag rather the new board of directors are the ones. This will definitely put on more effort in

[Leviathan.007]

Yeah, but he is not English, and a Spanish manager at England feels odd to me for some reason. I do not know why, we have seen different nationality managers at national team all around, it is not a first and won't be a first, but at the same time we are still talking about potential of issues.

I rather keep it English if you ask me, I am not English so I do not have any say in this, not even as a fan because I am not, but in my country if we were looking for a manager, I would have picked someone from the nation itself, there are some good English managers out there anyway, so it wouldn't be impossible to handle that.

The Guardian talks about six candidates to fill the space:

- Eddie Howe (Newcastle looks confident to keep him though)
- Graham Potter (He was good with Brighton but I don't know what he can do with English national team  )
- Mauricio Pochettino (He might be a good candidate maybe)
- Thomas Tuchel (He is said to have given a career break)
- Lee Carsley (I don't have much knowledge about him)
- Jürgen Klopp (Same with Tuchel's situation)

The trouble here is that Southgate seems to be staying ...

No he isn't, as you can see below.    He is no longer England manager officially.

There are many coaches in the world who can work in England and they are not working in any team. Maye Klopp could start working there but he said he is tired and he need some rest which means he is out. Tuchel has not had a good performance recently and some other coaches like Pochettino and Potter can have more chances to start working in England as the next coach.
I think Pochettino can be the best option they can have because he had a good performance at Chelsea.

After bringing in Varane, the Como club has now brought in Pepe Reina to be the goalkeeper. Their seriousness in entering Italy's top division deserves to be appreciated because to truly survive for more than one season requires maximum breakthrough. Bringing competition to Serie A must be even more serious. Maybe after Varane and Pepe Reina there will be additional new players for Como midfield.

Damn, this is a crazy decision from Fabregas. I never expected COMO to sign Pepe Reina, who is 41 years old, to be a goalkeeper. This is pure gambling. I know that even if Pepe Reina was an experienced keeper, using 41 years to compete in Serie A is so risky. But i think Como might have a plan for this.
They did very well by moving up from Serie C to Serie A in a short time. Pepe Reina wasn't playing a lot last season. This sounds very bad. Pepe Reina is too old, and his response is getting worse. But, there might be a special plan for him.

I can't really imagine if Reina becomes the first-choice goalkeeper. That's kinda crazy for sure. This was because Como is now competing in Serie A, which is the best league in Italy. I can't really say this was representing Como's seriousness for Serie a.
They will have recruited a better goalkeeper than Pepe Reina. Como has the richest owner in the Serie A now. I hope that Reina is gonna be the second choice.

Ten Hag efforts will determine the direction of Manchester United next season, he must learn from his failure last season which made it difficult for Manchester United to compete in the EPL. Manchester United statistics last season were far from perfect, their defense line was very chaotic which made it very easy for the opposing team to break into their goal. Ten Hag also needs to bring in quality strikers so that the illnesses experienced by his team last season can be cured.

Manchester United's front line was very blunt, they had difficulty scoring goals even though they were facing a weak team. Ten Hag must choose the right players to fill any gaps in his squad, defense is a priority, he also needs to bring in a new striker to add sharpness to Manchester United's front line.

Southgate failed to bring England to be the champion for the second time and it was very painful because they reached the final with a lot of struggle. From what I saw England did not have a dangerous striker and Harry Kane did not show the class as one of the deadly strikers. After the competition ended, Southgate resigned as coach and I don't know the exact reason but what I saw was because he always failed to give his best for England.

Of the three names you mentioned, I am more interested in Jurgen Klopp than Tuchel or Pochettino. But for Jurgen Klopp, it might take time to convince himself after leaving Liverpool. Preparation after preparation must be done so that England can prepare some new strengths for the future.

Its not pure gambling after the promotion team Como signed Pepe Reina have much experienced playing with many top team will helpful for Como as heir first experience playing on Serie A. Indeed last season have 9 appearance all competition with 2 in La Liga and 7 appearance in UEFA Europe League seems Pepe Reina has potential as back up goal keeper position or his ability will secure the first goal keeper for next season.

Como become most serious of Serie A promotion team for next season after linking with many top players rumor sign, although still not announced yet but some players such as Raphael Varane linked in near future will be Como player. Recently they have signed Andre Belotti and will be not the last sign during many player rumor will sign by Como have target reach the higher standing place next season and won't get relegated one season only.

Southgate should have done that because he has failed and in my opinion there is nothing missing from the England squad, they have everything but Southgate has not succeeded in making this team even better.
And overall, I think England's failure to win the Euro title is appropriate, their performance has been very bad since the start of the Euro tournament, they were just a little lucky to reach the final.

Now it's not just these 3 names but there are also several other names that are being rumored, but in my opinion, finding a coach who excels when coaching a team and has never coached a national team will be quite difficult to recruit.

I read news about Manchester United buying 18-year old Leny Yoro from Lille for 62 million euro and Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna for 42 million euro. I haven't heard anything about these two players. All I see is that they are both young and overpriced. Yoro is a defender and United desperately better defenders, but an 18 year old defender probably won't do the job at stabilizing the defense. Maybe Ten Hag knows what he's doing, but I'm kinda skeptical.
Manchester City bought a 20 year old Brazilian player from Girona for 35 million. The transfer market is crazy. Paying tens of millions for young players is a madness.

Zirkzee is an excellent signing, I would say a great signing, I saw his performances live on the pitch with my own eyes and to say that he is strong is an understatement considering his young age and his move to a big league he can really make a great championship while for the I won't comment on the other two because I've seen very little in the championships where they played but they certainly won't be bad

The INEOS are using the right strategy to recruit new players to join the squad. They’re looking at longevity and I think it’s a good one for the club as a whole. One thing to note is that INEOS have done their due diligence on targets already before no.Up to sales, Everything is mapped out. They’ve gotten a defender and a striker now, the defensive midfielder, Ugarte news will move quickly because they know what to do. Same goes for De Ligt if they want him. We hope that the new signings blend quickly with the old squad so they can perform better on the pitch.
