⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

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.

[Oluwa-btc]

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.

Sounds like a big day for Juventus for Fabrizio Romano and DiMarzio.

Soulè out to Roma almost done for 30 mil

I believe that KDB contract is still going strong, it will end in 2025, so that would be the most important part. Next year, when his contract ends, will he renew his contract at City, or will he prefer Saudi Arabia? I mean City could still offer him a decent contract, but this dude is making 20 million right now already, so expecting him to play for less would be naive, he will be offered maybe 100 million from Saudi Arabia, whereas I am sure that City will want to offer something less because he is getting older.

Plus he will probably not get like a 5 year deal like he did last time, so that means he is not going to end up with anything that is getting any worse at all. I am guessing like maybe a 3 year 10 million a year type of deal. He might reject that and accept like 50 million 5 year deal from SA, which could be possible offer for him as well.

This is why I honestly expect him to leave after his contract ends, we shouldn't really be surprised of that. That doesn't mean that he will go, it just means that the possibility is still there and if City is not selling him then we are going to end up with him leaving himself, he just needs to not renew his contract and they will get him for free.

Xavi Simons the player from Leipzig got an offer from Bayern Munich and since he had a good performance Bayern Munich tried to hire this player but he is not going to leave Leipzig to Bayern Munich yet.  
He is under contract with Leipzig until 2027 and he wants to stay there for a longer time. Maybe he wants to stay in Leipzig because the situation in Bayern Munich is not good at all.

What kind of offer is this by being paid in installments several times is Barcelona shameless where Dani Olmo is an important player but this impression is really a joke, so it is true that Barcelona is experiencing a prolonged financial crisis but still wants to try to recruit new players.

Their efforts will certainly be difficult and other teams do not want to accept this.
The new news is that David De Gea has become a target for Genoa, maybe he will soon move to Serie A after not playing for a long time because he wants to play in Europe, now he may have the opportunity to do so, see how this will happen? I hope he doesn't waste the opportunity again.

Maybe I will put it like this, that De Bruyne is the backbone of City and no club will love to gamble with a player like that whose impact is always felt by the players on the pitch due to his outstanding skills. He is a good midfielder.

However no one can tell how long De Bruyne is stay on City because SPL don't always let go of players that they have shown interest on. City have the funds and all it takes to keep De Bruyne with them for many more years but will his performance be consistent without declining.

Dani Olmo is currently being targeted by several big teams after his impressive performance with Leipzig and the Spanish national team in the Euros, so it is not surprising that Leipzig has set a price of almost 60 million euros for those who want to sign him, apart from Barcelona, ​​Manchester City and Arsenal are reportedly also very interested to recruit Dani Olmo , what Barcelona is doing now will only increase the club burden in the future by paying Dani Olmo in installments, Barcelona is repeating what they did when recruiting Ferran Torres from Manchester City who also used the installment payment 4 seasons, however In fact, currently Ferran Torres is not able to develop well at Barcelona and makes Barcelona burdened with debts that must be paid to Manchester City, what happened to Ferran Torres should be a lesson for Barcelona to no longer do the same thing now by buying Dani Olmo if their money is not enough.

De Gea was previously Manchester United's main goalkeeper, but currently he is in very bad condition after no club wanted to recruit him after terminating his contract with Manchester United, Reportedly, Manchester United asked De Gea to return to the Red Devils squad to become Onana reserve, but he will back again if Ten Hag is fired, currently Genoa is the team that De Gea can aim for to continue his career and I think in Serie A of course he will perform quite well there in the future, currently De Gea is projected to replace Josep Martinez who has left for Inter Milan.

It is reasonable for Leipzig to feel that the offer made by Barcelona is ridiculous because as we know, Dani Olmo has found his stage at Euro 2024 and he looks shining there, and because of that, Dani Olmo has received attention from many clubs. So with what he has been through, that will at least make him prefer a high market value, but, the offer submitted by Barcelona seems to give the impression that Dani Olmo is not a player who deserves to be their priority.

Based on transfermarket values, Dani Olmo have around 60 million euro as market values and seems big joke made by Barcelona after offering 40 million euro and paid instalments every years aroudn 10 million euro until four years later. How crazy offering from Barcelona and there are can't an acceptable for RB Leipzig behind consistent performance of Dani Olmo for Spain national team in Euro 2024. I don't know how possibility with bad ideas of Barcelona for Dani Olmo offering and payment with installments until 2029 regarding many teams will give higher offer and payment cash without installments until four year later.

Have financial problem and Barcelona can't recovery well by selling their players with higher transfer fees, I think have forget with Barcelona ambition for signing not only Dani Olmo but want to sign Innaki Williams from Atheltic Bilbao. Need to recovery their financial better and Barcelona have only one option promote their young players to senior team for next season.

Manchester City Needs KDB in the team and wouldn't want to allow him go out of the team as they would still want to win the EPL this coming season. De bryune is still at his peak and hasn't slowed down a bit to think of going to the soudi pro league which has become a ground where players that are approaching the age of retirement always goes to. He had an incredible outing at the Euros And together with doku, they where the best Manchester City players that fully represented the club at the national level and surely pep would have already made a solid plan on how to give doku more playing time and KDB would be a perfect combination that will work well for him. Maybe after completing this season,  it would be left for him to decide if it's good remain at the club, go to soudi pro league or retire completely from active football and take up an administrative duty since it's obvious that he's also good at that.

Honestly Kevin De Bruyne has a pivotal role to play for Man City in defending their title this season, we all saw what happened when he was out injured last season, during his absence Man City found it difficult to score goals particularly Halaand who wasn't getting those through passes to  score goals,  personally I think Pep Guardiola hasn't signed a perfect replacement for De Bruyne thus releasing him to a more lucrative contract offer to Al Ittihad can affect Man City chances next season, of course some soccer analyst believed that Pep Guardiola can do without Kevin De Bruyne by building a formidable squad this I disagreed with that assertion

[LUCKMCFLY]

--cut--
It's so sad that even a big team like Barcelona can't even afford to sign Nico Williams, how about Mbappe? it's impossible for them to sign Mbappe, they might only able to buy Mbappe's hair lol.

Yes, this is very sad, I must say, I also think that something is broken.
The problem is also the investments made with Xavi which have not returned and consequently the team is in a greater crisis.
Certainly the salaries and costs of the players influence the crisis of modern teams.
Poor management does further damage. In my opinion..

That’s something I think should be looked into by Uefa at some point, the salary and cost of a player although, this has been some worth regulated in the amount a team can spend in the transfers but, over again, you find teams seeking loopholes and cutting corners to archive their goal of getting what player and under certain conditions.
Not like situations in the society have helped much but, the cost of a player could be capped as, every transfer season, it often seems like teams are in the rush to hype the cost of a player who only turns out to deliver on few occasions.

In my opinion, player costs do not reflect reality. A player from the English league is sold for over 100 million Euros just because he plays slightly above average, and it is a great nonsense to pay such astronomical prices. Such high amounts should not be paid. Some teams can rise above other teams by paying this, but the spirit of football is now left behind. Unfortunately, it is a time when money is power in football.

And here there are no operations like in the Saudi League, because if the prices here are astronomical, in that league they are a thousand times more astronomical, so in view of these things, I think that each of the players quote them according to how the teams want to give them their value, it is not that they do it just like that, the best experts in sports specialty only in football are the ones who launch their valuations and according to that the teams establish their prices, that is how it works, that is why it is so legal and acceptable.

Personally, I wouldn't let Olmo go for anything in the world, because he's a very good player, just by looking at how he played with his national team, that's enough. To get rid of him, they would have to offer a reasonable amount, something like what they offer in Saudi football, but I would think about it.

Barcelona's first offer for Man City target Dani Olmo rejected - report

RB Leipzig have rejected a bid from Barcelona that falls short of their €60m (£51m) valuation of Euro 2024 winner Dani Olmo, reports in Germany state.

Despite only becoming a starter in the latter stages of the competitions - thanks to the injury suffered by Pedri in the quarter-finals - Olmo proved to be a key man for Spain in their Euro 2024 triumph earlier in the summer. The attacking midfielder bagged three goals and two assists for his nation, including the winner in the semi-final clash with favourites France in Munich.

[yudi09]

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.

You are right on this point. RB Leipzig are aware that their player has increased in value after the European Championship. RB Leipzig will not make the process easy if the interested club is not willing to meet all the desired conditions. That is if RB Leipzig really intends to let Dani Olmo go.
I also think that RB Leipzig's demands are too much for Barcelona who we know have a few weaknesses in the financial sector even though we don't know for sure.
