⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[eightdots]

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.

Barcelona cannot compete with Real Madrid with its current squad. Real Madrid has both maintained the quality of its players and brought Mbappe to the team. Barcelona needs to make similar transfers but may not have the financial resources to do so. Barcelona should act very logically when planning its squad because Real Madrid's quality is at a very high level.

Dani Olmo showed a great performance in the championship and increased his value. RB Leipzig will not sell Olmo for a small price.

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.

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.

Kevin De Bryune has been very impactful to Manchester City since he was signed in the summer of 2015 and he has remained consistent and in good form for the club and next year will make him 10 good years he has spent in the Manchester City squad so it will be a memorable moments for the player if he decides to move to other clubs. Even though Kevin De Bryune is a great player and still have the opportunity to play in other top European clubs but with the fact he has spent a lot of time at Manchester City, if he decides to move to the Saudi league I would not see it as a wrong decision so far as the Saudi side Al Ittihad can afford the cost to sign him after all some important European players are already playing in the Saudi league so it's no big deal if he decides to join Al Ittihad.

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.

 

According to what I have read and seen, he has no such plans to remain in Paris Saint Germany, not even to be signed by Bayern Munich. He simply wants to play for RB Leipzig then, at the start of a new season he moves to one of the top premier league clubs which has always been his favorite destination.
He is no Leipzig player, he is currently on a loan move again to RB Leipzig. Move to Bayern Munich? That I can not completely make a comment on.

I have said this months ago that Manchester City should cash out big from the sale of Kevin De Bruyne. But, it seems like they have other plans. I have always thought they should get Jamal Musiala as a long term replacement for him. He is the perfect youngin for that club honestly.
Speculations I read today details how Manchester City are making moves to finally sign him up as a potential replacement for Kevin De Bruyne. It'll finally be a great move in my own opinion.

Manchester United fans wants change but they're still hoping and praying Aaron Wan Bisakka stays with the club because of his 1vs1 defending skills?! These fans are not really ready for change. Lmao!

[Blitzboy]

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.

Kevin is not just a player, he's the engine that makes Manchester City run. Look at what happened last season when he was out - Haaland couldnt buy a goal, the whole team looked lost. Thats how important De Bruyne is.

Now, some people think Guardiola is a genius, that he can build a winning team with anyone. Thats true, to a point. But De Bruyne, he's special. He's the kind of guy who makes everyone around him better. You cant just replace that.

Sure, maybe De Bruyne wants more money. Maybe someone offers him a big contract. But if I were running City, I wouldnt let him go for anything. He's worth every penny, believe me. You want to win titles? You keep De Bruyne. Its as simple as that.

I have been monitoring this news for the past few weeks but it seems there is no chance for Kevin De Bruyne to move to the Saudi Pro League because based on the possibility of moving on transfermarkt it continues to decrease last week the probability was 46% but this week it dropped drastically to 26% meaning we can assume that there is no agreement with Al-ittihad. However, on the other hand, Manchester City is not in a safe position to hold De Bruyne because this player has not extended his contract meaning he could leave for free next season, financially of course Manchester City does not want to lose 50 million based on its current market value. We are still waiting for the continuation of this rumor until the transfer window closes.

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.

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.

A player of Dani Olmo's caliber who shone at the EURO for helping Spain win but accepted this ridiculous offer is clearly what we know that Leipzig do not take Barcelona seriously.
But somehow when Barcelona is in crisis there are still many players who want to go there, is it because this team is so big that many players dream of going there? Nico Williams seems to be getting closer to Barcelona.
Barcelona's offer to Dani Olmo was clearly going to be rejected.

I agree with you and with how the Madrid squad are at the moment, even if the decide not to add any player to the squad they are still good to compete in any tournament but talking about the Barcelona side I don't feel they can even survive this coming season because they don't look too strong to withstand the likes of ATM and Girona not to talk of Madrid, to me they (Barcelona) seem weak but I won't be too quick to judge their ability to perform better next season.
If Barcelona are planning on getting Olmo I don't see that happening base on how the player performed in the just concluded Euros, Barcelona are not financially fit and that is what has been preventing them from going for players they want. How can the great Barcelona come back to that good old days without good players? With time Lamine Yamal can decide to leave and look for a better club that can give him trophies he desire, so I don't know how long Barca can keep these guys without strengthen the team.

[Furious 7]

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.

Actually for TAA's position when looking at his current condition he is actually like Camavinga where he can play in 2 positions with the right-back he always plays at Liverpool or even he can also be used as a midfielder later.
Because after all in these 2 positions TAA is still very bik in playing especially by seeing what he did at Liverpool in the last few seasons and with what he showed in England during the Euro some time ago we can definitely feel his performance is still very good.

On the other hand, with the 2 positions he has and the same good role, of course this will make Ancelotti more comfortable doing some schemes with several players who can be stored anywhere he wants because if in the end TAA is in Madrid then maybe when there are defenders who are difficult to line up because of some problems he can be used as a midfielder and make Tchouameni play behind as a center back or maybe he is used as a right back while Carvajal is positioned a little deeper for the center back.
It's definitely a lot of variety and that would be a good thing for Madrid.

It's hard to predict it. Consider Barcelona's decision to bring Nico Williams. It is a good thing for improving their attack. I knew most La Liga fans favor Madrid to win the upcoming season. But, we shall at least see how Flick performance in Barcelona.

The thing that is hard for Barcelona to compete with Real madrid is in the stability.

Dani Olmo showed a great performance in the championship and increased his value. RB Leipzig will not sell Olmo for a small price.

Leipzig confirmed that they will consider any offer for Olmo. But the problem is that Barcelona has no money to do this. The latest news has reported that Leipzig rejected Barcelona's ridiculous offer. The offer was to pay Olmo in a few installments, which sounds crazy. Leipzig is keen to sell Olmo for 60 millions cash only. This is a sum that Barcelona can't afford now.

Barcelona is dying financially, and they can't even afford to buy a player priced at 60 millions cash.

I still feel Barcelona squad is not that bad that they can’t stand to fight with Real Madrid when it comes to how they perform next season. Football is very unpredictable despite Real Madrid showing a very more quality team than Barcelona for the next season. Bringing Mbappe to the club was a great boost for them and I think the next season will go well for them but that doesn’t mean they can’t be challenged and beaten by any other team. They will have their lapses too that when known by any team, they can use that as an advantage against them to beat them when they meet. To stand Real Madrid won’t be easy next season but with good approach in the game and strategy they can also face defeat by other teams.

The problems that Barcelona have faced in the last few seasons are still not 100% resolved. In the past when Barcelona wanted Lewandowski and Lewandowski only wanted to accept Barcelona's offer there were almost the same obstacles as their current situation.

A squad filled with players like Yamal, Pedri, Gavi, Fermin Lopez, Ansu Fati will only be at its best in the next two or three seasons if you compare it to the quality of Real Madrid players. With these young players, it will help Barcelona when their financial problems are resolved and they can bring in world-class players like Real Madrid did to maintain the balance of quality.

Leipzig, are you kidding me?! Olmo turned on the Euros like a fucking firework! His value rose with that performance, thus Barcelona's lowball offer is a joke.
Olmo is the soul of Leipzig, not only a performer. They're not letting their guy go for peanuts. Barcelona, I understand; many people dream of this city, but you really have some respect to show. This isn't a flea market bargain; this is a top-notional talent we are discussing. Olmo possesses the ability, the style, the drive. You desire him? Pay up!

Their lapses will be in the first few weeks to the start of season as they'll still be getting use to each other and as the team has many key players, they'll have a hard time having very good relationships. Things will become better as they play together every weekend and get to know eachother weakness and strength. Barcelona still has a chance of challenging for the league title but that shouldn't mean that they can be capable of winning as Real Madrid are just better this season. Barcelona don't have very good players like Real Madrid and as always Real Madrid are good at making use of their players very well and making them stars.

I think Barcelona already have a good coach but it's quite a shame that Barcelona cannot freely build their squad because they are constrained by their finances. Indeed, this is no longer as bad as before but if this is not really resolved completely, I think Barcelona will not really be able to develop optimally. Hopefully what Xavi felt will not happen again to Hansi Flick because I am quite sure if Hansi Flick is given full support and kept away from financial problems then he will be able to give a new color to Barcelona.

Barcelona have fallen off in terms of identity. The financial challenges facing the club has brought them below where they used be. Real Madrid have been decent over the years with their transfer policies and it’s prolly the reason they’re still very competitive and up there among the best. Barcelona summer transfer window in recent years have not been very good.
Right now, I doubt they even have the finances to reinforce their team in preparation for next season. They lack attacking options and also need to bring in midfielders before the summer transfer window closes.
Barcelona will not be a threat for  Real Madrid next season. I don’t even see anyone challenging Real Madrid next season. They’re stronger now, and I tip them to win the La Liga again.

Manchester City is trying for Dani Olmo from Leipzig.
Barcelona joined the race for Olmo with a 45m€ offer, so it will not be so easy fro manchester City.
The offer has been rejected, Leipzing wants more money for the player.

Arsenal talking with PSG for Fabian Ruiz but they need to sell someone 1st.

Juventus and Aston Villa are interested in Karim Adeyemi, 45-50m valued player.

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.
https://x.com/DeadlineDayLive/status/1816830936450842976

This is another thing that I can't believe. A goalkeeper like De Gea has been free agent at this age?    It is really sad considering how quality he is. I still liked his performance in his last times at Manchester United. The reason why he left wasn't performance-related in the first place. They couldn't agree terms on a new contract as far as I know.

Besides he is even said that he had big issues with Erik ten Hag. He was treating De Gea badly they say. Now we see him returning to football which is really good to hear. Apart from Genoa, Saudi Arabia and MLS are also said to be options for him: Goal.com

De Gea could have even retired because of Erik ten Hag's attitude against him according to rumours. It is really unbelievable...    I didn't know that at all.

Yes it is true that Barcelona don't have much more competency to compete with Real Madrid on their new squads. Because Real Madrid has all the players who are currently considered the top players of the European competition, including Vinice Junior, Rodrigo, and Jude Bellagham, and the greatest player like Killyan Mbappe has also become a part of the next season. Took So, Real Madrid has put a difficult challenge in front of everyone by uniting extremely strong players, which I hope, I believe that there are no top clubs compared to the way Real Madrid has made a squad, and the matter of a lay club like Barcelona is far away. 
 
Real Madrid was strong even before Killyan Mbappe and now I think no team will have the courage to stop Real Madrid's front three with their defense i.e., Vinice Jr, Killyan Mbappe and Rodrigo.

It's interesting that Manchester City are also interested in Dani Olmo because he had a brilliant performance during the Euro tournament yesterday, for Barcelona it seems like it will not pass anything about this transfer problem I read in the news Barcelona's priority on Nico Williams before Barcelona gets his signature then they will not bring in other players.

But how far will Manchester City go to sign Dani Olmo from Leipzig where the German club is more than the previous offer?
I think if push came to shove for Olmo with two options then Manchester City would be better off than Barcelona.

[Unknown01]

Real Madrid and also Rüdiger have received very high offers from Al Ittihad, but the club and the player are currently not interested in a change. I think Rüdiger's decision is important and right, he currently plays at one of the best clubs in the world and is a very important player there. In Saudi he would earn more money but his career would be almost over.
