⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[punk.zink]

Trent's future at Liverpool is still ambiguous.    He has only one year left on his current contract. Real Madrid is still interested in him according to Mirror but he is said to have no intention to leave Liverpool: Mirror

Not only TAA for now because indeed some players like Salah and Van Dijk are also still quite worrying for Liverpool because they have not been able to make an agreement on a contract extension.

Madrid seems to want to try to do a good rotation especially with Carvajal's current age which is already quite old plus his coating Vazques who does have the same age, so indeed looking for other options such as TAA is very good.
It's just that there has been no further confirmation of this, but if indeed TAA plays in Madrid and for the other side is filled by Davies, which has been rumored since the transfer of players last season, it will make 2 full-backs Madrid become very crazy because indeed both have good attacking power and their speed is not in doubt.

The reports linking Alexander Arnold to Real Madrid is actually true. He has less than 1 year left on his contract. He’s been on their radar for a while now. Real Madrid have just Carvajal as their first choice RB. He’s 32 years old and I don’t think Real Madrid will give him a new deal considering his age. So it’s no surprise that Real Madrid are after his services. He’s the only name that they’ve been linked to so far. They need someone to take over from Dani Carvajal when he leaves.

But with the new manager in the club now, I am convinced that he will likely stay at Anfield. He’s the vice captain, so they’ll likely offer offer him a new long term deal at the club to push away potential clubs from signing him this summer.

Trent Alexander Arnold has very strong ties to Liverpool, and if he still really hopes to play for Liverpool, it looks like it won't be long before he gets a contract renewal. That is what Liverpool should do immediately because it's not just for the contribution that Trent Alexander-Arnold can make but at the same time it becomes a fortress for offers made by other clubs. If a player has questioned the contract extension, while the club still does not provide certainty, then it could make the player feel unhappy and the club could suffer losses because the player could leave as a free agent.

After losing Toni Kroos I don't want to see Carvajal leave Madrid. But regeneration must be done to maintain the team's performance which must always be maintained and maybe the plan to recruit Alexander Arnold is just a rumor that will not happen this summer. Carvajal is one of the most reliable players and he also made a big contribution to Madrid. So my prediction is that Carvajal still has 2 more seasons before leaving Madrid and from now on Madrid management is choosing young players who can replace Carvajal position properly.

Ancelotti currently has big plans and in the next two seasons he will probably not change the current line-up which is already very perfect.

Real Madrid liked the way they managed to convince Mbappe to join them as a free agent, so it is logical that they will want to do the same trick again with other players. They can count on the player wanting to play at Real, that is, they will use their authority, but not everyone will do as Mbappe did, not everyone wants to play at Real. And for Alexander-Arnold, this is a good opportunity to get better contract terms at Liverpool and Slot still has enough time to convince him to stay at Liverpool.

As a result of long negotiations and insistence, Fenerbahçe included En Nesyri in its team for 5 years.
He didn't have a great goalscoring identity in Sevilla, so when he came to Fenerbahçe, he could score a lot of goals.
It is good that he is young, but the Turkish League is not an easy league and I do not believe that he will contribute many goals. The money they give is a lot, and can En Nesyri give it back?
I'm not sure 🤨

En Nesyri himself is a very experienced player, he once spent his playing time in Spain so as a player he is very good at scoring goals with his headers, and I'm sure that's Morinho's will because he knows that Nesyri can still develop with him, last season was not so satisfying for him because he was injured but seeing him before the injury he was quite good, so it's not wrong if Morinho wants him.

The Turkish Super League is certainly not easy for Nesyri but Fenerbahçe brought him in to help Edin Džeko as their main striker, so I think Nesyri is a good player and he certainly won't disappoint Morinho he will definitely do it to make them happy, because basically Nesyri is a player who deserves to get a good place, so I will wait for his debut he will definitely make that contribution.

Many players came with high hopes before. Because after Alex, there was no player who directly contributed to the team.
Fenerbahçe fans miss those days.
If En Nesyri starts the league well, it will be good for him in terms of goals and assists because Fenerbahçe fans are not a very patient fan community.
If he has scoring problems for 4-5 weeks, he cannot wait 5 years.
I really want it to be successful. I expect him to contribute a lot of goals to the team, especially in league matches.

Actually this is not for now, but to prepare so that they do not suddenly have to look for a player who can fill Dani Carvajal's position. Because if they bring him in now then they will be more comfortable for the next 2 seasons because they have prepared it starting from now. Alexander Arnold is still on Real Madrid's radar, but I heard Liverpool is not interested in selling this player, so Real Madrid must look for other alternatives.
They don't have to rush to be able to quickly bring in the player, they can be more relaxed to find the right player that they can bring in, or they can also promote other young players, I think that can be done. Real Madrid is a big team, so they will not have difficulty convincing young players to join them, there are many young players who want to wear the Real Madrid uniform, they just have to be able to show that they are worthy.

Barcelona was recently close to hiring Dani Olmo from Leipzig and they contracted him to ask about their player but it seems the first offer was rejected and Leipzig didn't accept to let Dani Olmo leave the team.
It seems the offer was not good enough and Leipzig wanted to earn more money for their player Dani Olmo.
However, since Barcelona needs this player I think they will try again with a better offer for Olmo.

 

RB Leipzig have rare gem in the club and letting him go will be huge loss from their end. They don't have to sell their key players because that's where their winnings originates, these key men will always bring up the require top expectations. Dani Olmo is top player, he's very skillful with the ball and have gathered enough experience to put his team infront. The day I found out the extra ordinary qualities of Dani Olmo was when he single-handedly thrashed Bayern Munich in the final. He scored an hat-trick to put his team ahead of Bayern Munich.

Barcelona is trying to get some quality players with their low budget that is why they went t RB Leipzig since they have tried so many players and failed along the way.

On the other; RB Leipzig is not a team that do worry when their key players leave them, they are like Dortmund that deliberately sell their main key players judt to get money instead of them leaving the players with them to win them trophies, they have done such things with players like Aubameyang, Jordan Sancho, Erling Haaland, and lots more which is why they don usually win trophies that much.

This is a proactive move by Barcelona, I think they are really making efforts to improve their squad from what it looked like last season. Of course that's what it's usually like for clubs to turn down the first offers coming for their players especially when they considers the offer to be below the valuation of the player in question. As expected Barcelona will go back with an improved offer hopefully this time they will go closer to the valuation of the player. But they have to be fast about it, as Dani Olmo is a good player and other clubs will also be making moves to hijack the deal. With Dani Olmo, Nico Willams and Yamal, Barcelona will squad will be very competitive next season. I just hope they will be able to get these players especially Dani Olmo and Williams.

His arrival had shocked the media and Barcelona fans but it turned out that the competition to get into the main squad was not easy. Vitor Roque was too excessive when he was welcomed in Barcelona and now he has swallowed a bitter pill that his career cannot shine in Europe. Al Hilal is targeting Roque and that also gives Barcelona the opportunity to profit from the sale. Isn't the club in need of a cash injection? Of course this option is an additional opportunity for Barcelona to set a price. Don't get me wrong, the financial condition is very bad so there is no need to be ashamed to admit that they need money. It's time to reduce the players on the bench to be used as money.

Don't get me wrong, the financial condition is very bad so there is no need to be ashamed to admit that they need money. It's time to reduce the players on the bench to be used as money.

I don't think they're trying to hide their financial situation though. As far as I can remember, their presscon and other reports shows that they admit their financial struggles openly. In fact, this can be a detriment to their transfer activity since a club who want to buy a player from Barca might try to bid as low as possible since Barca needs money to begin with, unless there is competition for the player's signature. Who knows, maybe they will try to orbit more youngsters instead of relying on new signing[1]. CMIIW.

The sale of Vitor Roque could be a solution for Barcelona at this time to get some money that can be used to realize their desire to recruit Nico Williams from bilbao, since his arrival in the 2022 season, Vitor Roque has had difficulty developing at Barcelona, ​​his arrival from the Brazilian club at that time It was a hope for Barcelona fans that Vitor could become Messi successor in the Barcelona squad, so at that time they welcomed him very enthusiastically, but after successfully scoring many goals in the Brazilian league, in fact he failed to develop at Barcelona because he had minimal playing opportunities, so I think that's  appropriate for him leave to other club which can give him the opportunity to play more in the future, currently he is still 19 years old and his career journey  is still long, so he should think again about accepting the offer to play in the Arab League even though it is possible that Barcelona will be inclined to sell him to Al Hillal who dare to pay a high price to get it now.

I think it would be more logical to wait until next year. Manchester City may send him off next year. Al Ittihad can transfer him for free. The contract fee they will give him alone will put a strain on them financially, but if they want to transfer him, they will also have to pay a transfer fee to Manchester City.

Al Ittihad will have to move quickly if they want to sign him, a personal agreement needs to be reached to prevent the player from leaving for another club. The issue that has been circulating so far is that he will be released when his contract expires, but that is not a guarantee, Manchester City could extend his contract if he is able to contribute to the team's success. Age is just a number, what is most important is his ability to maintain the rhythm of the team's game. Al Ittihad will have to convince De Bruyne if they are interested in signing him, a higher salary offer than he has been getting so far might make him agree to move there.

Yes, Al Ittihad must move quickly to get De Bruyne, but the problem is not that easy because for now it is clear that Pep has confirmed that Manchester City will not release De Bruyne this summer and that means Al Ittihad chance to have De Bruyne must wait until his contract expires.
So far he still plays an important role for the Manchester City squad and we don't know what his future will be like, if there is another agreement with Manchester City in extending the contract then Al Ittihad chances could also disappear just like that.
I agree that Al Ittihad must be able to really approach De Bruyne and convince him to be able to have personal agreement so that in the future it can make it easier for Al Ittihad to recruit him without much drama that has to happen.

All of this is just plan and also maybe our thoughts as football fans, to be able to see the continuation more clearly then we need to wait for the time to come because everything is still just rumor.

[rendravolt]

There is interest from the Saudi pro league where Al-Hilal wants Vitor Roque from Barcelona and many reports say that Barcelona is open to selling him if there is an offer of more than 30 million euros. No one expected that what was initially thought to be Barcelona's wonderkid is now nothing more than just a source of fresh funds for their next target and as we know, Barcelona currently needs additional funds to realize Nico Williams.

Maybe Vitor Roque's fate is not so lucky because since his arrival at Barcelona, ​​he has not received Xavi's trust at all and finally now he has started to be sidelined and cannot even compete for a starting position. His journey to find a bright path at Barcelona will be increasingly difficult in front of the new coach Hansi Flick who we know is very disciplined and will always choose players according to his plans well. Now the decision depends on Vitor Roque and also on Al-Hilal whether they can pay more than Barcelona wants to smooth this transfer.

[Xcode7]

There is still 1 more season of De Bruyne's contract at Manchester City, his contract will end in 2025 but I doubt Al Ittihad can get him because of course Man City management will not remain silent for their mainstay player, in terms of quality De Bruyne is still quite good and also his market price is still high so at least if De Bruyne leaves then there will be benefits obtained by the Manchester City team.

Personally I believe that Al Ittihad will not get Kevin De Bruyne next season or with free transfer status, De Bruyne still has very good quality and there are still many top European teams who still want him so that will be a difficulty for Al Ittihad.

[asriloni]

So Diaby choose to joins Al Ittihad, he's a failed player from Aston Villa, he can't perform like when he was in Bayer Leverkusen. Moving to Al Ittihad is obviously ruining his career, he probably will change his nationally to African country since France is full of star players, he has no chance.

Aston Villa has re-signed Philogene back to the club. I expect Villa will use Philogene as Diaby's replacement. And i think you're too harsh by called Diaby has ruined his career. It's hard for Villa to reject £70m from the Saudi Pro League. They'd surely sell, get an equally good player, and have £20m left. Also Villa need a big transfer profit in 2024/25 to avoid failing Premier League and UEFA rules. Diaby is Villa's costliest player per season. Selling him would help us avoid the sanction.

And again, european club can also resign him back again from SPL. Joining the Saudi Pro League has no downsides. But, it lacks exposure compared to if he moves European club.

Will Benzema leave Al Ittihad? his relationship with Al Ittihad isn't that good and Diaby is actually a striker.

Benzema will not leave Al Ittihad. Benzema can play as a winger as well. There's nothing to lose from Diaby's transfer to Al Ittihad.

There is still 1 more season of De Bruyne's contract at Manchester City, his contract will end in 2025 but I doubt Al Ittihad can get him because of course Man City management will not remain silent for their mainstay player, in terms of quality De Bruyne is still quite good and also his market price is still high so at least if De Bruyne leaves then there will be benefits obtained by the Manchester City team.

I also think so because as long as De Bruyne can still be relied on well by Manchester City in the Premier League, of course it will not be easy for Manchester City to release a player like De Bruyne. Because De Bruyne is a player who can supply the ball well to the players on the front line so that he can still help the Manchester City team to be strong next season even though at this time there are other teams who really want him and can also bring in more money for Manchester City if they want to release him now.

Well clearly this also seems obvious to me, a good goalkeeper makes a great team like Buffon was for example, in Italy there have been many great goalkeepers because there is a great tradition carried forward over the years and these are the results and I believe that Donnarumma is the perfect example that demonstrates how a well-developed young man demonstrates his talent

Goalkeepers who already have talent are often noticed by many people, especially if they are still very young. But a goalkeeper whose talent is not as bright as Buffon's can still be used by certain teams in big matches as long as he can still guard the goal and not make more mistakes. And currently in the transfer market I see more happening in front lines such as strikers than in other lines including goalkeepers, but every team will always look at what they need, not who they can get at times like now.

yes but my point was about the fact that in Italy there are many strong young and Italian goalkeepers like Donnarumma who manage to do the same things he does but then they are devalued because they don't have a foreign name, in Italy it works like this and especially in the series where if you come from outside you are stronger than the others, but this is the problem that has arisen with the arrival of the agents who pump players who are absolutely not up to par but do this to earn money!

I feel like both Daniel Olmo and Nico Williams will finally end up as Barcelona players, so what happens to Atsu Fati and Pedri if they move in? They need depth anyways.

https://x.com/DeadlineDayLive/status/1816549588351779069

Not seems like that for Olmo.    I agree with Leipzig though, this offer is really ridiculous. But of course Barcelona has no other way of affording both of Olmo and Williams. If Leipzig accepted this offer, the highest amount of money they get would probably be 40 million euros in instalments.    Because I don't feel like Barcelona can win even a La Liga title unless they improve squad quality.

But for Williams, they should do whatever they can. Even the fans are trying to finance them over Barcelona TikTok account you know. The same comment exists in all those donations: For Nico Williams.

In fact, Barcelona is ready with a transfer fee to bring in Nico Williams. But the problem is that currently the club is still waiting for a decision from the player himself.  And if Nico Williams agrees to join, the clause payment process will be carried out quickly. Because a few days ago it was said that Nico Williams still had not made a response regarding the offer, while Barcelona and Nico Williams' agent seem to have reached an agreement. And well, the answer now lies with the player himself. But regarding Dani Olmo, it feels like it will be quite difficult for Barcelona. Because it is reported that Manchester City will even join in the hunt for players to get Dani Olmo. And yes, competing with Manchester City in the hunt for players will indeed be quite tough.

Barcelona was recently close to hiring Dani Olmo from Leipzig and they contracted him to ask about their player but it seems the first offer was rejected and Leipzig didn't accept to let Dani Olmo leave the team.
It seems the offer was not good enough and Leipzig wanted to earn more money for their player Dani Olmo.
However, since Barcelona needs this player I think they will try again with a better offer for Olmo.

 

Do you know that his performance during the European Championship uped his valuation and price? There's no way RB Leipzig would settle a lesser fee. All I see is the young man wanting to make a move same way Barcelona wants him. That can only be possible if Barcelona improves the offer from the first bid for Daniel Olmo.

This lad is a magician off and on the ball, I love how he finds himself in space and also create chances. When I look at the Barcelona squad, there's a whole lot he will bring into that side. I still believe he will definitely sign up for Barcelona at the end of the it all.
Barcelona need to sell out the youngin Victor Roque so they can make moves for both Daniel Olmo and Nico Williams.

One more position I believe Barcelona need to solve is the defensive midfied role. Since Sergio Busquet left the club, I haven't seen a good replacement for him truthfully. I don't know if I'm the only one observing this though. They will need that to maintain balance. Lack of finance has been a great limitation towards achieving this too.

At the same time, AC Milan was very lucky because they were able to get Alvaro Morata easily, there was no drama because Atletico Madrid was immediately willing to let go of the player who brought Spain to become champions at this year's Euro. AC Milan needed an experienced forward and they got Morata a short time after he finished with Spain. Experience should help Morata adapt, especially since he was also part of Serie A when he was in the Juventus uniform. So in terms of play, he is also not blind to the style of play in Serie A.

However, in my opinion, Ac Milan still has to bring in other younger players, because Morata himself will not be able to be used for a very long time because of his age. So AC Milan should at the same time look at younger players for them to prepare for a very long time.

The negotiations went quite smoothly and the club where Morata played before also did not give anything complicated so that AC Milan was a little easier and smoothly getting him. He understood the style of the soccer play in Italy so that it would be much easier to adapt and of course AC Milan was not a strange club because he had been a part of his opponent when playing at Juventus. For a few seasons Morata is still able to play with the best quality but is much better when AC Milan is able to recruit young players as a coating so that both can play alternately according to the needs of the coach's strategy.

Expecting Morata is entirely risky especially if he gets an injury so that it can affect the AC Milan front line. Next season the match will be much more because they play in several competitions so that the team must also be comparable so as not to get fatigue from the core players. If this is problematic it will be very difficult for AC Milan to compete for the title, especially for the Scudetto itself.
