⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

Even though Lautaro Martínez was linked with several popular clubs such as Real Madrid, Juventus etc., finally Inter Milan officially extended his contract for 5 years with a total salary of around 45 million.
It is not surprising that Inter retained this reliable player because while he was at Inter, the player made a very good contribution and the Inter president became more confident after Martinez helped Argentina win the Coppa America title at that time.

The rumors linking Real Madrid with Martínez are absurd so I wouldn't believe them either. Inter needs Lautaro Martínez more than other clubs because he is a figure who has an important role in the main squad. The 2023/24 season with Inter managed to contribute 24 goals, therefore if Inter does not renew his contract then next season Serie A will be taken over by AC Milan or Juventus.

And Lautaro Martínez realizes that if he plays at another club like Madrid, the competition for the main squad will not be easy, so it would be better at Inter, where his position is definitely a core player. Maybe Juventus is also not a good choice, considering that Inter don't want their former important player to turn into an enemy next season.

Martinez is an outstanding player full of passion to score goals when he is on the pitch. He is a key player in Inter and his contributed a lot to their success last season, this is why I am not surprised at his new contract. Instead it would have been a shock to me if Martinez left Inter because they didn't know his worth.

Going to Real Madrid is not a good option for him, let him stay at where he can improve his skills the more because he will always be on the field playing and creating new moves.

Arsenal wants to improve the team for the next season and that's why they are trying to hire more players to have better performance. Arsenal is about to hire Sane the player from Bayern Munich while Sane is an effective player in this team and since Bayern Munich had a bad season in the last year they don't want to lose more power and they prefer to keep Sane in the team. The contract with Sane will end in 2025.
But the first priority for Arsenal is still Williams the player of Bilbao.

Arsenal ambitions are increasing because of Arteta wishes and it all started with a strong push when Arteta managed to finish runner up twice. So this is a strong reason why Arsenal wants to bring in players who have quality talent to strengthen the team's performance and be able to compete with Man City to get to the top of the standings.
Leroy Sane or Nico Williams are the targets that Arteta must get this season and in my opinion Arsenal would be more suited to recruiting Nico Williams but if winning is very difficult to get, Arsenal will continue to pursue Sane.

Arsenal have to compete to get Nico William with La Liga clubs, because Barcelona themselves reportedly want to bring him in, some supporters even support them by raising funds to help them financially. However, Arsenal has the advantage here, because financially they are more convincing to bring in this player than Arsenal. However, Nico William himself reportedly also wants to join Barcelona.

This is still just a rumor that cannot yet be confirmed, because both clubs should be taking the same approach to this player. Bilbao themselves will certainly prefer a club that can give them a higher offer to take advantage of the sale of their players. Arteta is very serious about making them even better next season, their target will be higher than the previous season where they were unable to compete with Manchester City. Arsenal will definitely not let the same thing happen to them.

Manchester United is okay with selling Mason Mount as well. But they are going to make a huge loss considering how much they spent on him before.    They signed him for 64 million euros. It looks like Chelsea signed him in a perfect moment and made an insane profit in the sale.    He has grown from Chelsea youth you know.

Making a loss or not, the Red Devils should get rid of him. He had two injuries and missed 27 games last season. There is no reason to pay him £300k per week at this point right? They can absolutely find a better player to replace him.

Aston Villa and Tottenham are interested in Mount so let's see...

Im you with, and personally, i agree if Manchester United decides to sell Mason Mount. But i don't even think Manchester United can avoid the huge loss by selling Mason Mount to the another club. It's very obvious that Mason Mount's performance was terrible last season. He also rarely played for the main squad.
And again, we must also be concerning about which club is keen in acquiring him for a high price. It's very hard to find a club that will pay close to the price United paid for Mason Mount from Chelsea.

It feels impossible for Manchester United to find a buyer. It will also take a very long time for them to sell Mason Mount. But, I'd prefer United to sell him at a loss, then replace him with a young talent. It's also to reduce the burden owned by United, which could potentially violated PSR rules.
Mason Mount was also one of the overpaid players in United. Ten Hag needs to get rid of him as soon as possible. Tottenham and Villa want to recruit Mount. But, I don't think they will offer him much. And last, Ten Hag also seems keen to sell him to a club from a different league as well.

Leroy Sane or Nico Williams are the targets that Arteta must get this season and in my opinion Arsenal would be more suited to recruiting Nico Williams but if winning is very difficult to get, Arsenal will continue to pursue Sane.

Both are good players, but munich is willing to release Sane if Arsenal dare to pay more than £40 million. This condition is an effort to reduce Munich's spending in buying players who have spent €145 million. With 2 times Arsenal only as the top guard of the EPL, this season Arteta does not seem to want to get the same mistake. Arsenal has been active to add strength next season.

It is not surprising that Inter retained this reliable player because while he was at Inter, the player made a very good contribution and the Inter president became more confident after Martinez helped Argentina win the Coppa America title at that time.

Over 5 seasons he will earn more than 50 million EUR because there is salary plus add-ons.
Imagine that Matinez contributed more to Inter Milan and even became the top scorer of Serie A last season and it is certain that Inter will defend with his clause, so with the extension of the contract, Inter Milan's attack line will remain strong.

Although many clubs are interested while Martinez is still happy to be at Inter Milan then he is not interested at all with other clubs even though it is Inter Milan,, with his desire to survive he will not reduce his performance.

Maybe Juventus is also not a good choice, considering that Inter don't want their former important player to turn into an enemy next season.

Now we don't need to discuss it because after all for now with Lautaro officially agreeing to extend the contract with Inter indirectly it closes any club to work with Lautaro later and indeed this is a very good thing because after all with Lautaro extending his current contract with Inter indirectly it makes their cooperation conditions favorable for both parties.
Inter clearly benefited because after all Lautaro to date is one of the strikers who did contribute the most to them especially with the top score last season of course securing Lautaro was the right decision.

On the other hand, for Lautaro this is also a great opportunity to further sharpen himself at Inter because in recent seasons Lautaro has always been one of the strikers who is quite dominant because Inter's role in changing Lautaro is really very pronounced for the popularity of his current career.

Lautaro Martínez is a striker who has performed quite well in Serie A, but I doubt that Real Madrid wants to bring him from Inter Milan. Moreover, Inter has extended his contract for quite a long duration. I'm sure the news regarding Martinez and Real Madrid is just an issue, because it's clear that Martinez is very happy playing for Inter Milan. Apart from that, Inter doesn't need to bother looking for other striker options, especially now that the transfer value for striker players is not cheap. Martínez has really contributed to his current club, apart from being young he is quite consistent in scoring goals. Martínez was also the one who led his national team to win the final match at that time, his contribution was enormous for Argentina. It's only natural that Inter would extend his contract. But considering the duration is quite long, I'm not sure if Martinez will continue to feel at home defending Inter Milan.

On the Madrid side, they already have Mbappe and other talented young players. So, for now Real Madrid does not need the services of Lautaro Martínez. After all, Martinez knows very well that currently Inter is his choice and he continues to play as a core player in Simone Inzaghi's squad.

To be honest, I salute the loyalty that Lautaro martinez currently has towards InterMilan, even though last season he was the top scorer in Serie A and also he was able to be the top scorer in the Copa America but it doesn't make him interested in moving to another team at the moment, Lautaro Martinez has been the target of many teams after what he did last season with Intermilan and Argentina, although currently it is actually a bigger opportunity to play in a team outside Italy which may be better than InterMilan, but the offer of a bigger salary from another team does not make him want to move away from InterMilan and chose to extend his current contract, InterMilan became the first big club in Lautaro Martinez career but it seems that he is well aware that moving now is not the right thing when he can still be  a hero in the Intermilan.

Players with experience will be much easier to adapt because that is why clubs need players like that and especially for the attack experience is needed because it can make them have the best ability to score goals. The more experienced a player is the more mature the way he makes decisions in crucial games especially and Morata has played for several clubs so his experience will be needed.

A player like Morata is a player who is always more wary of his opponents and a team that has a player like Morata will certainly be quite profitable as long as there are several colleagues who are able to provide the best passes for him in every match. Because when a player's adaptation can be handled well, of course the thing that needs to be looked at is his skill in holding the ball and also his skill in scoring goals against the opponent's goal because that is the final target that the players on the front lines must be able to achieve.

Alvaro Morata is no average player but an experience player that's capable of handling his responsibilities infront, score good number of goals for the clubs he has played for over these past years. More to be pointed out, he have completely been important in all football levels, talking about both country and club leve. Either way, he's now considered a new player for AC Milan and will observe the necessary medical and we know the great opportunity for the Spaniard to take the lead in Italian league.

[Silence Scream]

A good one but I was expecting something different for the Argentina striker at least he has given his all to the club, winning the league twice with the side and still has so much to offer, signing a contract for that long is not too cool with me, since promising clubs like you said Real Madrid not Juventus, I think he should have taken his chances and not to have a similar career spell like Immobile who stayed for so long at Lazio.

Signing a five years contract is actually too much but staying back at Inter Milan is actually a nice decision in my opinion. Let take a look at these top two teams that are linked to him, Juventus has not been in a good shape now for quite some few seasons and no player would prefer to leave a club as bright as Inter is now to Juventus who are struggling to get themselves back to competition. Real madrid on the other hand might probably be the worst decision he could have taken because I don't see who he can bench in Madrid squad. The decision to remain in Milan is a good move to keep himself in the light as he continues to make name and await prominent offers in the coming seasons.

For Martinez to move to Juventus would have been a disaster because they couldn't even finish 2nd, like they were very poor last season especially towards the end of the season, they lost hope and almost finished outside the top 4 on the log so they can't have a better place for Martinez. He can do well for Madrid and you know Madrid don't have a standard 9 even with the Mbappe move it still can't work because we know Mbappe plays better when he is on the wing so playing Martinez as the number 9 man can work , then someone like Rodrygo can stay on the bench. I don't know if players do sign a long term deal just to have a bigger offer in the next transfer window or I just can't tell, 5yrs is way too long for him and I think he might end his career at Inter Milan.

He was previously linked with Manchester United, but now better teams are following Lautaro Martinez. I don't think Real Madrid will buy him, but if they do, I'm sure Martinez will contribute a lot. I think he can easily play for Inter for another 4-5 years and become one of the legendary players for the club. Martinez was one of the players who had the most productive last year. A very high transfer fee must be paid to transfer him.

I really did not see this move coming.  Saudi clubs are still following through with their plans to buy famous players from around the world to their lesgue. Though KDB has won all the trophies in club football, I didn’t think he would be leaving the EPL so soon. Like many I assumed his future at Manchester City was solidified even though he’s 33years. Kevin De Bruyne is one of Manchester City’s most important players on and off the pitch. He’s the playmaker in the team and the engine of Pep’s goal scoring machine, Erling Haaland. Arsenal fans will be delighted at this news, they probably think they stand a chance this season to win the premier league lol.

[Velvet78]

Congrats to Lautaro Martinez on his contract extension firstly.    He stated it many times before. He just doesn't want to leave Inter as he is very happy at the team. He said this even while his name was called with Real Madrid in the past. Those times Real Madrid was really looking for a striker and this was when Kane didn't sign for Bayern Munich yet.

Anyways, he might not end his career at Inter maybe but who knows how many more of his years he will spend there.  

I think he would retire in Argentina where everything started for him.

The extension of the contract really don't say everything about the contract.
For example take Osimhen he renewed the past season just to be sold better and it can be the same situation with Lautaro.

Another thing to consider is if (and we don't know) they applied a release clause under some circumstances.

So for sure is better for Inter if they extended it but it doesn't means that he will stay in Italy for another 5 years.

The Saudi Professional League is paying players the amount they have not earned even when they were in top form. Kevin De Bruyne's move to the Gulf League didn't come as a surprise because he had already hinted that he is open to offers from the SPL. The Belgian has spent almost a decade in Manchester United and his performance has been kept reducing due to injuries and age. It will not be a bad idea for him to acquire a good amount that will help him enjoy a prosperous retirement. The financial implications of the transfer to Al-Ittihad have not been made public but it will be a good sum. He would now join superstars like Karim Benzema and N'Golo Kante in the league.

Surprisingly, Mohamed Salah has returned to Liverpool pre-season. His failure to extend his contract raised some speculations that he might be considering moving to the Saudi Arabia  League. Al-Ittihad once tabled £215 million for the Egyptian talisman but it was rejected by Liverpool. Maybe Salah has decided to enjoy one more year in a top-flight league before he moves to make more money.

[fullhdpixel]

Al-Ittihad does not want to sell Kante because he is an important player in his team's plans going forward, maybe we already know how Kante's performance at the EURO was very impressive so some European teams will be very interested again, but who knows West Ham can recruit with a higher offer.
I want to see Kante return to the Premier League even if it's just joining West Ham, we never know how West Ham's efforts to get Kante, but clearly what I read this new news is that Al-Ittihad will not sell him.

Kante is still young and his abilities are still worthy of taking part in the European arena. So I hope that one day Kante can return to playing for a European team. It seems that bringing in Kante from Al-Ittihad will be difficult, and for me so far the Saudi Arabian club does not need money, meaning they already have everything to bring in anyone from Europe and when there are European clubs who plan to bring in players then they will complicate the process. Automatically the club must be able to negotiate quite intensely. Unless Kante himself decides to return to Europe, these opportunities will be easier to obtain. On the other hand, if Kante feels comfortable at Al-Ittihad then any offer will be even more difficult.

Kante is now 33 years old with his performance in Saudi League and Euro 2024 was impressive which bring him back into limelight for the Premier League even things are looking not easy for his comeback here in this league and club because Al Ittihad is also trying to rebuild their squad for the next season.
Kante is important for them in coming season and having their glory days back because they lost all things in last season and now wants to fight back for top honour hopefully things will be sorted out on fair basis for his comeback into West Ham.

Premier League is having the toughest schedule which can bring injuries or other problems back for this player which is already having trouble in last few years but how things will be gone for him in this negotiation it's surely going to be coming out soon with all updates.

Manchester United should have gotten the signature of this man Martinez but they choose to go for someone cheaper and for Madrid they have Mbappe which is like the end of seeking for a striker. For Martinez to stay at Inter Milan I feel he'd continue his goal scoring record with the side and it would be another season to battle for the title and Champions League because if you check, Inter Milan don't have any other sharp striker that is as good as Martinez so staying would boost the morale of the team but I'm still not sure of them retaining the title.

Kevin De Bruyne probably talked to Pep and made that decision. If Pep doesn't have plans to keep him in the team, I think his best move would be to go to Arabia and earn money. He is 33 years old, but I think he can play at the top level for 2 more years. Since he is a dynamic and quality player like Modric, he has many years ahead of him if he wants to play. I think it is more attractive now to earn good money and retire in Arabia.

That is one of the club's good business approaches towards its star players. Lautaro has signed a new contract that lasts for the next 5 seasons, but of course he can still be sold before the contract is finished. PSG tried to take a similar approach with Mbappe, but PSG failed until Mbappe went to Real Madrid on a free transfer.

Napoli and Osimhen are of course in the same situation, but Napoli will clearly benefit if Osimhen goes to another team that is able to activate his release clause. Osimhen is getting closer to PSG, who reportedly will have a deal in the next week, this is clearly interesting.
