⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[tottong]

Pep Guardiola said there is about an 85, 90, 95% chance that Manchester City will still feature the same squad. He also acknowledged that until the transfer window ends, anything is possible. The chances might be small, but Kevin De Bruyne might still leave Etihad. He had been the leading force behind the success of City and his departure will leave a vacuum that cannot be filled easily. For other Premiership clubs to have hope of dethroning City, de Bruyne would have to leave. I just hope Al Ittihad will give him an offer that will be difficult to resist. We don't want the EPL to be like the French League, we want a new champion this season.

If Kevin De Bruyne leaves then Manchester City's midfield will definitely be a bit problematic because they will lose a midfielder who is able to regulate the rhythm of the game.
Manchester City have some good midfielders but their strength is not much better than Kevin De Bruyne.
But I believe Pep Guardiola always has a way to overcome this and we could see that when Kevin De Bruyne was injured last season.
The big offer made by Al Ittihad is not a measure because the Manchester City owner has unlimited money and wealth.
Kevin De Bruyne's departure will be decided by him and I am sure Manchester City will still need his services next season.

Pep and City have already fully addressed this rumor. It's clear that De Bruyne won't leave City this summer. Pep also emphasizes that City does not want to sell De Bruyne to the Saudi Pro League. It also says that the rumor about De Bruyne going to the Saudi Pro League is a hoax.

Guardiola still needs De Bruyne. But, there's no news on whether City will extend his contract. But, what I can say now is that De Bruyne stays. What A, B, or even C said about De Bruyne doesn't matter. He still has a contract with Manchester City till next year.

Pep has not found his replacement yet. I remember Pep projected Olmo from Leipzig, but that transfer failed. And last, De Bruyne is still here for another EPL.

Kevin De Bruyne is indeed a player who has contributed greatly to Manchester City, but if the team loses Kevin De Bruyne, I don't think it will have too much of an impact on the team's performance because we saw last season when Kevin De Bruyne was injured for a long time, but the Manchester City team's performance remained good. just.

Kevin De Bruyne's performance is still quite good so I doubt that he will go to an uncompetitive league just because of money, maybe in the next 3 or 5 seasons that will happen, for now I don't think so.
Kevin De Bruyne is still playing quite well and there are still quite a lot of top European titles that Kevin De Bruyne can achieve again, so Kevin De Bruyne's career is still quite good, so that can't be replaced with money.

While there are rumors that Guardiola wants to sign Donnaruma and if he succeeds, it will be a great move, because from the confident game of the goalkeeper many depends, and Donnaruma essentially took the Italian national team out of the group, his confident game at Euro 2024.

Yes this will be so good for Manchester City to bring the Italian spider Gianluigi Donnarumma to the club. Because currently he is too young his performance is just absolutely superb. Gianluigi Donnarumma is 25 years old and their current contract will be expire in 2026. So it would be a nice move if they had done it successfully. Earlier, Manchester City had an opportunity to sign Gianluigi Donnarumma, but the club rejected it. In the previous deal, PSG wanted to do a swap deal in which they offered Gianluigi Donnarumma and Marco Verratti to sign Bernardo Silva in 2023. But Manchester City rejected it. So now it is the best opportunity to sign Gianluigi Donnarumma because the current goalkeeper of Manchester City has more chances to move to Saudi Arabia because many clubs are interested in the Saudi Arabia leagues.

If I were Donnarumma you would immediately go to City, a team made to win and tailor-made for him too in my opinion with an excellent defensive department that can help a goalkeeper who in my opinion is incredible, as we know in Italy it is an excellent school for goalkeepers but this boy he is a real phenomenon just look at his performances with Italy he was clearly the best of the team who saved the games save after save so he would be an excellent signing for them

If Ederson leaves the team, it is necessary to choose one of the best goalkeepers instead. One of them is Donnarumma. However, I do not know if Paris Saint-Germain will allow this. It will not be easy for them to replace Donnarumma. If Manchester City can bring Donnarumma, they will not have any problems in the goal for many years. Since he is only 25 years old, he can play goalkeeper for many years. A player whose talents can never be doubted.

yes, in fact, they have to think about replacing a great goalkeeper like Donnarumma, but it certainly won't be easy given that he is young and can still play for a long, long time and let's face it so he won't be around and he is also young, so I don't think that PSG will care will deprive so easily will surely put some goalkeeper of the nursery

Manchester City may go for Eberechi Eze having a release clause of 70m€.
Al-Ittihad wants Kevin de Bruyne, Guardiola said he will not leave.
Manchester City maybe do a move for Gianluigi Donnarumma.
Ederson will may end to Al-Ittihad for 50m€.
Paris St-Germain want Jadon Sancho.

Source: BBC

There are some news here that Fabrizio has debunked as not concrete at the moment, although his comments aren’t ultimatum but he does gets facts compare to the other journalists.

Manchester city going for Eberechi Eze is not that too shocking because the player in question has developed over the years as one of the deadliest wingers in the premier league, so city interest is genuine but I will say it is coming at wrong timing, city have just signed Savio who plays on the left also, they also have Jack Grealish and Jeremy Doku playing through that Wing so I trust that any signing on that wing will require one of the current players leaving.

Al-Ittihad interest in De Bruyne might be because of the his desire to one day play in league but I don’t think this is the right time for the player to depart.

Manchester city move for Gianluigi Donnarumma isn’t concrete at the moment even if Ederson leaves Manchester city are rumored to promote their second goalkeeper Ortega as first choice for the moment, also the Ederson departure is also not yet confirmed because of the price tag city hangs on his head.

Jadon Sancho is someone that looks like the kind of player that suits PSG pattern, with Manchester United looking to sign PSG Urgate and they offered Sancho to the club in the process

There have been speculations linking Eberechi Eze to top clubs in the EPL like Manchester United, Manchester city and Arsenal. He has a release clause of about £60m. It’s a lot of money considering that these clubs have players of similar profile in that position. There’s no way he’ll come into these teams and expect to bench the wingers that play in that wing. Arsenal have Martinelli and Trossard that occupies that position, Manchester United have Ganarcho and Marcus Rashford, Doku and Grealish, Foden for Manchester City. He’s a very good player but I don’t know if there are just rumors or they’ll be getting him this summer. Also I think there are trying to link him to clubs because Olise has departed.

Maybe they might come for him in another season towards the expiration of his contract so they can get him cheaply.

So far, De Bruyne has been one of the players who has had a positive impact and also made a big contribution to Manchester City match, so indeed his departure might make Manchester City game a little unstable, especially in their midfield and attack, but I also think that losing De Bruyne would actually Manchester City won't have any problems because Manchester City currently has several players who are able to fill the gap left by De Bruyne, apart from that, wouldn't a team as rich and big as Manchester City not have difficulty recruiting another attacking midfielder?
Currently, De Bruyne has been linked. with a move but this has been denied by guardiola so it is very likely that we will not see de bruyne leaving in near time.

[fullhdpixel]

It's good if De Bruyne ends his career at Man City and going to a small club in his country is still very possible, it's just that after his contract expires next season the offer from Arab will still be there considering his performance is still quite good, but happy he is still at Man City for one more season we will see how De Bruyne's cross is.

Big transfer? Mbappe has already finished to Real Madrid, I don't know who the most expensive transfer is whether it is more than 150 million or even 200 million there is still no news.

We were expecting after end of the Euro and Copa América we will have some hot updates regarding few top transfers, but things are still not set because Kevin De Bruyne is surely going to complete his contract at the Manchester City and Ederson is also set for having another season here at the Manchester City which is good news for the Citizens fans.

But few transfers still are looking for buyers with confusion is also around about these transfers because no one can predict about them hopefully we will have all clear in next few days because now we have just three weeks left into Premier League start. Mbappé is already launched by Real Madrid in front of 80,000 fans and now PSG is waiting for end of deadlock for the Victor Osimhen which is going to be exciting because currently nothing is sure about this transfer.

There are no reasons to think about a transfer for De Bruyne, he is without a doubt one of the main players in the team and City definitely don’t want to let him go. I've been reading the same thing about Silva for the second summer in a row, that he is thinking about moving to other teams, but Guardiola is persuading him to stay in the team because he is a very important player for City, and his departure could create certain difficulties. Guardiola often repeats that there are no irreplaceable players, but at the same time he tries to keep important players in the team, so I very much doubt that De Bruyne will leave.

[mamesso]

~Snip~

PSG will not just let Donnarumma go if they have not found a replacement who has equal abilities to him, this transfer will be very difficult to happen because PSG is not a club that needs money, especially as they are currently building new strength after Mbappe left. Manchester City will find a replacement to fill Ederson's position if they actually leave the Etihad stadium. Even though it is a bit difficult, several goalkeepers are still available and can be negotiated with to pay the buyout clause. A backup goalkeeper might be an alternative while looking for a permanent goalkeeper who is younger and has abilities like Ederson. It is quite difficult to find a great goalkeeper because the stock is very limited and the club that owns the goalkeeper is not necessarily willing to let him go because it will be difficult to find a replacement.

Kevin De Bruyne deserves to decide his own future.
After nearly a decade of dedication to Manchester City, Kevin de Bruyne has had many titles and successes. It can be affirmed that De Bruyne is one of the greatest players of The Citizens and the Premier League. There will certainly be some regret if De Bruyne chooses the Saudi Pro League as his next stop. Because of his talent, he still can play football at the highest level in Europe for many more years. If De Bruyne waits and leaves for free next summer, that will be the perfect ending. But if De Bruyne wants to leave before then, Man City should not make it difficult. We must admit that the large amount of money offered by Al-Ittihad was enough to convince him to agree to join this club when he was in the final stages of his career.

[HajiBagi]

One of the odd things this season for me is Liverpool's links with Kubo. ECHO says that this talk is premature instead of fake news[1], so either the plan exists but they don't do anything concrete about it or they just scrapped it and looked for other players if this were to be believed. I'm unsurprised if an agent pushes this rumor to increase Kubo's values. Anyway, they are very quiet in this transfer window with so many rumours suggesting more players want to exit the club instead. Who knows what they will do next season?

[1] https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/liverpool-transfer-news-live-kubo-29582434

Why do they even want Kubo? They still have players like Cody Gakpo and even Luiz Diaz wanting to stay and not to forget Diogo Jota. I'm beginning to think about it the say way with you right now.
I don't think they need that lad and even if they do, don't they need to sell a player before h can successfully come into the squad?

Liverpool should focus on getting a younger defender, maybe with Matip leaving they'll have to replace him or for the Injury prone frenchman Konate.
Both Virgil Van Dijk and Alexander Arnold have been reported to be interested in extending the contract they have with the club ahead.

I felt like this was a good time to finally cash out big from the sale of Kevin De Bruyne, but then, Manchester City and the board do not have such plans for him already. Another months with Injury will definitely affect his form likewise valuation.

I’m also surprised to hear that Liverpool wants to sign Kubo, what will Liverpool do with Kubo, we all know that Kubo is a good player but if we look at Liverpool the squad is okay, even if Liverpool didn’t sign any player this season they will still be among the best team in the premier league, Liverpool still have Gakpo, Luiz Diaz, salah and Diogo jota that can play well more than Kubo, so the only player Liverpool need to sign now is a striker and the reason why I said that is because Nunez is not good enough to help Liverpool alone and using Gakpo to play as a striker will not help the team, I think the new coach needs to make some change by allowing Gakpo to play and a wing player because if we look at Gakpo performance in Euro his performance is very good.

About Kelvin De Bruyne leaving Manchester City, I don’t think he is leaving the club this summer and it is very good that Manchester City did not let him leave, kelvin De Bruyne is one of the most important players for Manchester City and when he leaves we will all know that he is very important for Manchester City, pep Guardiola knows that if kelvin de Bruyne leaves the team before him he will not be able to win any trophies in Manchester City again, according to my observation Pep Guardiola and Kelvin De Bruyne are going to leave Manchester City at the same time.

[rahmad2nd]

Pep has not found his replacement yet. I remember Pep projected Olmo from Leipzig, but that transfer failed. And last, De Bruyne is still here for another EPL.

Honestly, I'm not sure if Pep Guardiola really wants Olmo.  After all, maybe this is just an issue. The problem is, City has not had any contact with RB Leipzig or Olmo's agent. Like the rumors about KDB, there are many who report that he will leave the Etihad Stadium for the Saudi League. There are reports that previously De Byurne said he did not rule out the possibility of ending his tenure with City. However, Pep Guardiola has dismissed this via Fabrizio Romano's tweet. Apart from that, as we often discuss, Kevin De Byurne's role at Manchester City is still very necessary. minimum, one season until the contract ends. Yes, because we haven't heard yet if City are interested in extending his contract. but what is certain is that he is still with City for now. The same thing was implied in Romano's report, previously he reported that KDB would not leave, said Pep Guardiola. I tried to interpret that City still needed Kevin De Bruyne. yeah, before he actually gets the ideal replacement player. Although, City has player options that can be used in the KDB position.

Since being brought in by Barcelona as a free agent last season, there has certainly been external temptation for Gundogan to want to leave Barcelona. Even though there was an offer from the Qatari club, Gundogan did not want to accept the offer and chose to stay. This may also be what underlies his thoughts in completing his mission while at Barcelona to win the title considering that last season they failed to become a team.

On the other hand, Gundogan is also not tempted by large sums of money considering that he is the third player at Barcelona who earns the highest salary. Barcelona is also aware that in their midfield they do not have a midfielder as experienced as Gundogan and if he leaves before his contract expires then Barcelona will be in trouble. Not to mention that Pedri and De Jong are still injured, which will mean Barcelona lacks a midfielder for next season.

The goalkeeper must also be considered important in a squad because it is also part of the final defense for any team, but for PSG's current condition, it is better for them to focus on several other lines of players rather than focusing on a goalkeeper because that is still can be replaced by another goalkeeper as long as PSG still has the option to do so. Because when the team's defense is strong enough in several important lines, the goalkeeper can still be trained well enough without having to buy another one in conditions like now.

They are three important places always or must be in football team and the number is the goalkeeper, and one good defender then the last one is the the striker. If any team has these three good players then that team has gotten a good squad to face any opposition team. And if the goalkeeper is not good then the team will receive enough goals.

Kevin De Bruyne's performance is still quite good so I doubt that he will go to an uncompetitive league just because of money, maybe in the next 3 or 5 seasons that will happen, for now I don't think so.

After what Pep Guardiola confirmed, all the rumors died down. Kevin De Bruyne will remain with Manchester City, but that doesn't mean that Kevin De Bruyne is satisfied because what is bothering him is the issue of salary. As an important player, it is very natural that he wants a salary increase. Manchester City must be able to fulfill their wishes if they want to see Kevin De Bruyne play with all his heart. It's not all about loyalty, but any player still has to prioritize his salary to provide peace of mind. Whether competitive or not, comes back to the question of quality. So there is no definite benchmark regarding competition if you look at the number of existing star players. Remember, Kevin De Bruyne desire to go to Saudi Arabia also means he finds the competition there interesting and the salary commensurate.

Gundogan has a contract with Barcelona until 2025, so he will finish this season in Barcelona, ​​and what happens next can be decided based on the team’s results. He will soon be 34 years old, which will be the right age to think about ending his career in Qatar, where he received an offer. Now Flick cannot afford to lose such players, he is expected to have a successful season, and he will need a strong team, for this he needs to keep all the important players. Letting Gundogan go means weakening the middle he also often joins the attack.

Arsenal has reached an agreement with Bologna and in the near time Calafiori will soon undergo a medical test at Arsenal, the negotiations that took place between Bologna and Arsenal were very tough and the two parties almost did not find an agreement after not finding a suitable price from both teams, after reading several articles about the Calafiori transfer, I just understood why Bologna set the selling price for Calafiori too high because It turns out there is a lot of fees (40%) that they have to pay to Basel at this time, Not only that, the transfer got even more complicated when Roma also asked for a share of almost 9 million euros from Basel because Calafiori is a Roma academy player who was sold to Basel in 2022, but apart from that, of course Arsenal were very lucky to be able to get Calafiori and he will be able to form a strong and solid duo with Saliba or Timber in the next seasons, apart from being capable as a centre-back of course arteta has plenty of options to play him at left-back next season if the kiwior is sold or Zinchenko is injured or absent.

It looks like Arsenal setting themselves for another near success story next season. They have a striking problem. They need to sign a goal scoring center-forward as soon as possible if they want a chance to get the Premier League title at the expense of Manchester City. With Victor Osimhen out of the transfer discussion, Mikel Arteta needs to find another player to fill the position. They can’t just rely on Kai Havertz, Saka and Gabriel Jesus to make it work. Arsenal seem too relaxed for a team who is competing against arguably the best side in all of Europe.

If Kevin De Bruyne leaves then Manchester City's midfield will definitely be a bit problematic because they will lose a midfielder who is able to regulate the rhythm of the game.
Manchester City have some good midfielders but their strength is not much better than Kevin De Bruyne.
But I believe Pep Guardiola always has a way to overcome this and we could see that when Kevin De Bruyne was injured last season.
The big offer made by Al Ittihad is not a measure because the Manchester City owner has unlimited money and wealth.
Kevin De Bruyne's departure will be decided by him and I am sure Manchester City will still need his services next season.

As confirmed by Pe Guardiola himself regarding De Bruyne. This has also confirmed that De Bruyne will still be needed in Man City's main squad. Because it is very difficult to find players who can match De Bruyne's current level. Even last season, after De Bruyne recovered from injury, we immediately saw Man City rise again and become a team that scored a lot of goals again. And in fact, when De Bruyne was absent due to injury, we saw that Man City had quite a hard time winning with lots of goals. but with the presence of De Bruyne, Man City was able to win again with lots of goals. De Bruyne has always been the player who best understands how to move the ball to score a goal. He is always able to make quality passes and produce quality assists.

If that happens and Liverpool really wants Takefusa Kubo from Real Sociedad to bring him to Anfield, I will be very happy and looking forward to that happening, and the rumors I read are that Liverpool will have to spend a very high amount of money if that deal happens. Takefusa Kubo is a good player and he is still very young, with the talent he has Liverpool can maximize and use it well,

And if this really happens, Takefusa Kubo will adapt well considering that he has a compatriot at Liverpool, namely Wataru Endo, who he can take advantage of. What is clear is that this is Arne Slot's first recruitment after becoming Liverpool coach, if it is true the deal will happen and it is not just a rumor

That could actually be a good replacement for Salah without a doubt. He is not as good as Salah compared to their peaks, but he could be better than Salah right now, or at least in a year or so. They should definitely consider this deal, could be something that they can benefit without a doubt.

I think the most important part of this situation is that he is only 23 years old, which means that if they buy him now, they can play him for another decade, and when you find players like that, you should try to get them for whatever price you can. He isn't going to be cheap though, and if the offer comes from Liverpool, they will definitely would want some extra premium on it, and that is why I think something like 70-80 is possible, or at least that is what Sociedad would aim at, that would be their hope. If they get Kubo somehow, Slot would have a good first year, they will have a good rebuilding phase, and they should be capable of doing fine on the long run too.

Not saying they will win the title, but they won't get too far away from it neither, and that's what matters for a new manager. With City and Arsenal fighting for top spot, if they can finish third that would be good enough.
