⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

Galatasaray have made their final offer for Wendel. According to previous reports, the Wendel transfer file was closed, but it seems that Galatasaray is insisting on this transfer. Zenit want 25 million Euro but Galatasaray are offering 20 million Euro and a share of the next sale. Honestly I don't understand why they are so insistent on Wendel, he's not that good a player. There are many alternatives for that kind of money. His goal and assist stats are quite ordinary. The truth is that if Galatasaray pays that much money and the player doesn't play well, it will be very bad for them, so I want this transfer to happen.

Harry Maguire's future at MU is in big question. Especially after MU recruited 18-year-old center-back Leny Yoro for $68 million from Lille. MU is still planning to recruit other central defenders. Bayern Munich's De Ligt and Jarrad Branthwaite are being actively sought after by MU. Should Harry Maguire stay as Erik ten Hag no longer values ​​him?

If MU can't sell him, Harry Maguire could be out for the final year of his contract and must know that he will only get the chance to play if a player is injured.

His contract expires next season and I actually question Ten Hag not releasing Maguire last season when there were several clubs including West Ham who were interested in his services but the price was such that they had to stop negotiations.

Now with the presence of Yoro in the Manchester United squad it is clear that this will bring a situation where Maguire is increasingly forgotten, just like Van De Beek who is slowly disappearing from the squad that ends up leaving for now.

Maguire will also definitely be the same even though this can still be used as an option for player rotation but with his contract almost up, it would be better if there are still those who want his services for next season he is released even though it is certain that Manchester United must be willing to lose their money because they see Maguire's value now it is getting lower when compared to his arrival to Manchester United before because if I'm not mistaken at that time Maguire was brought in with the status of one of the most expensive defenders.

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.

Like you rightly said, Real Madrid is reported to have received tempting offers from a Saudi club on behalf of the club's defender Antonio Rudiger but even before reading about the club's response, i was never expecting Real Madrid to accept such offer considering how important the German defender is to the club at the moment. Maybe in the nearest future, Antonio Rudiger will be joining a Saudi club but for now, he's focused in his role at Real Madrid and is working towards bettering his impressive performances of last season with the club.

Surely, if we talk about the next few seasons, maybe it will be an alternative for the German defender, especially when it is an option before retirement. However, at the age of 31, it is still quite convincing that his performance can still be that good and compete at Real Madrid. And of course he and Real Madrid rejected the offers already exist. Moreover, currently Real Madrid is indeed focusing on improving its back line, so they actually want to add more defenders to further strengthen the team.

Harry Maguire is a player that has been known for being persistent in terms of penury. When this guy was at his very low, he was ripped of his captain band and he was also been offered to West ham for transfer, but he insisted that he will remain in Manchester United to fight for his position.

Maguire's contract at Man United is still until June 30, 2025, and it might be quite difficult for him to find a new club that wants to pay him a fairly high fee and also a high salary. While we all know that Maguire's performance, ahhhhhh , no need to ask anymore.   

However, if you look at some news, it is clear that Maguire will still be at Man United, in his interviews and when talking about his presence at Man United, he said that he is still part of Man United and will remain at the club to win big trophies in the future.

Tottenham Liverpool and Arsenal are in in the race to sign Federico Chiesa from juventus.

Tottenham have the upper hand in this transfer for him because of the underground relationship between both parties. Any of the club that manages to bring him would have landed themselves a very quality fine player who showed us a bit of what he can do in the just concluded Euro 2024 competition.

However, if you look at some news, it is clear that Maguire will still be at Man United, in his interviews and when talking about his presence at Man United, he said that he is still part of Man United and will remain at the club to win big trophies in the future.

Maguire remaning in Manchester United increases their defensive options. Maguire has improved, not a bad choice of player to still keep.

Harry Maguire is a player that has been known for being persistent in terms of penury. When this guy was at his very low, he was ripped of his captain band and he was also been offered to West ham for transfer, but he insisted that he will remain in Manchester United to fight for his position. Even against everyone's believe, went through the criticism, the media war and came out victorious. He became one of the formidable forces of Manchester United defense last season. Idea for belief that they arrival of the 18 year old boy in Manchester United is not in any way going to hinder his performance. As long as I know, Maguire has a lot of experience more than the 18 year old boy. So it is expected that should be a kind of synergy between him and the young boy to enable the young boy learn from his huge experience and that little competition that is going to be created will benefit Manchester United defense.

What I saw last season was constrained to the issue of transfer fees because Manchester United set a large enough price for Maguire, who indeed in the previous 2 seasons he made a lot of mistakes which actually resulted in his declining performance and it was not uncommon for him to be ridiculed on social media.

Indeed, from a mental point of view, Maguire is actually strong and it cannot be denied from him who remains standing even though he gets a lot of criticism not only from football lovers but even from Manchester United fans themselves but he remains firm in his stance. It's just that with Yoro in the current squad he is also not an option for Ten Hag at this time so it would be better for him to find a new club because after all he is now like not really needed especially with the arrival of several players in defense who make him even more eliminated.

On the other hand, Manchester United are also not much of a choice. Maguire's contract will end in 1 season rather than him leaving on a free transfer, it is better to sell so that at least there is a little profit to be made to increase their finances.

From last season, Madrid has having some defensive problem, but their strong defensive midfielders made the defensive errors not visible by many people. David Alaba is not consistent due to injury, and Nacho left the team for Al-Qadsiah FC in the beginning of the transfer window, which is why Madrid went for William Saliba in order to strengthen their defensive strength, but unfortunately, Arsenal is not ready to let him go.

I will be expecting Madrid to sign some defenders or promote any from their academy because they really need defensive reinforcement. Without all the key players they have in their squad, they can lose matches anyhow, which will affect the team.

Is this weak point a big gap in last season? I don't think so because statistically last season, Real Madrid conceded very few goals, which means they have a pretty strong defense. But it is true as you say because Real Madrid has improved quite a bit on the front line with the arrival of Mbappe and Endrick who are ready to play this season, the midfield is also quite strong. So Real Madrid will of course focus on strengthening the defense sector in this transfer market.

Alaba has not yet recovered 100% so he is highly doubtful at the start of this season. I think Ancelotti has a way to solve it because he is a pretty good tactician in building a strong team. Apart from that, several well-known defenders are starting to be linked with Real Madrid and I don't think Real Madrid will be careless in doing so now.

The latest news is that Madrid plans to join the competition with Man United in the hunt for the signature of Matthijs De Ligt, Bayern Munchen center back. Matthijs De Ligt is most likely more willing to move to Santiago Bernabeu, and Bayern Munchen management has also reportedly rejected an offer from Man United because it is considered too low. Ancelotti certainly knows his team weak points well, and we can see that last season Madrid experienced a center back crisis. In addition, until now they have not prepared a replacement for Carvajal, it seems that Ancelotti is more focused on recruiting a center back first.

On the other hand, Madrid midfield and front line are indeed beyond doubt, Ancelotti has a number of top players in the main squad, and also has rotation options that are no less good. Matthijs De Ligt could be the right replacement for Nacho, and overall there is no excessive concern about Madrid's strength next season. I assume that with the squad that is currently available, Madrid will be able to defend the trophy, especially the La Liga trophy which they will probably win more easily than last season.

There's every possibility that few academy players with great potentials might be promoted to the senior team especially in the defensive positions but what I don't think the club is going to sign another defender again this summer. The current set of defenders in the club are all world class players and if not for the case of  injury that might happen to any of them, I don't think Real Madrid currently needs a defender. Eder Militao, David Alaba, Antonio Rudiger and three world class center-backs at the club and if they remain fit, Real Madrid would not be needing any defender in the center back position

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.

Barcelona's proposal is like offering Leipzig for the use of Olmo up front, then pay him later. If Leipzig has rejected Barcelona's offer, it makes sense. Finally, Manchester United can step in to take Olmo from Leipzig. The ridiculous proposal by Barcelona has proven how Blaugrana has no money to buy the new player.
Leipzig wants 60 millions cash up front for any team that is keen in acquiring Olmo from this germany club. I wonder why Laporta never cared about his club's finances. He keeps forcing it to buy expensive players.

I'm sure Barcelona may go bankrupt if it keeps using this transfer strategy. Also, Barcelona still owe lots of money from the previous transfer.

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.

But, accepting donations from deculs must be shameful, you know. It is caused by the current management's failure to fix its financial problems.

You know why I have always rated Real Madrid to be the very best team, they stand out above others because they're able to accept failure, pressure and reciprocate without having any doubt check problem. You're right though, Real Madrid will be put pause momentum toward signing potential players because the scouting team have done a great thing by bringing in the best ones to Santiago Bernabéu. The president and the coach will stick to the current ones.

If MU can't sell him, Harry Maguire could be out for the final year of his contract and must know that he will only get the chance to play if a player is injured.

Maguire stayed last season, and things turned out well for him, albeit because of the huge number of injuries the club recorded last season, i remember West Ham were very close to signing Maguire last summer, but the deal fell through, i cannot remember if it was West Ham that pulled out of the deal or if it was Maguire that rejected them at the last moment.

That being said, if United has a fully fit squad next season, Maguire would struggle to play, he might not be a lucky as he was last season. I often advise that players stay and fight for their position, but only for a few years, now Maguire has to leave and move to a team were he is first choise CB, it might be the revival that his career needs.

Tottenham Liverpool and Arsenal are in in the race to sign Federico Chiesa from juventus.
Newcastle United watns Anthony Gordon staying despite interest from Liverpool.
Manchester United is intereted in  Bayern Munich player Noussair Mazraoui.

With Thiago Motta not actually looking to use the player next season, i think the best place for Chiesa is the premier league, a move to any of the clubs mentioned doesn’t mean he will start straight away but if he does what does best he can break into any of ten team. Tottenham with Son now more central and a team relying on counters will be more perfect for him.

Gordon is an asset that Newcastle wouldn’t want to lose but With the recent financial fair play restrictions and their lack of European competitions they will be obliged to sale selling some of their star players like him and also Isak

Mazraoui is on United rather because of their quest to find a replacement for Wan Bissaka who is looking to leave but with no concrete reports of his departure I don’t think this move will also materializes

Rumors about an offer from Juventus to Atalanta for koopmeiners.
Offer was of 45mil, Atalanta wants 60mil.

On the player we got Liverpool also few weeks ago but the player wanted only Juventus.
But at that price Juventus can't buy him.

Keep an eye from Premier League teams.

Koopmeiners has attracted interest from several clubs this summer thanks to his performances for Atalanta in Serie A.

Liverpool have long been interested in Teun Koopmeiners and expressed their desire to bring him to Anfield to strengthen their midfield. The Kop will likely fail in this deal because personally Koopmeiners only wants to join Juventus this summer and I believe that Juventus will also be willing to spend a large amount of money to get him. Liverpool are having a relatively quiet transfer window. Atalanta still has a midfielder who promises to help the Anfield team forget about Koopmeiners. That's Ederson. Ederson is the more practical signing for The Kop. In theory, Gomes and Koopmeiners are two completely different types of players, while Gomes acts like a midfielder, Koopmeiners is more offensive. The Anfield team should consider "breaking the bank" to recruit the Brazilian star. I believe Gomes is a much better investment than Koopmeiners for both the present and future of Liverpool's midfield.

Real Madrid borrowed €130m from the bank to pay Kylian Mbappé's salaries and bonuses.

On June 30, 2024, just before the first payment of salaries for the new first team, Madrid's cash flow stood at €82m.

This was the club's lowest cash flow level in 20 years.

Source: https://x.com/DeadlineDayLive/status/1817181006677356613

Nothing but nonsense, they could pay over the duration of Mbappé's contract, why hurry!!

You know Real Madrid has always been a club which is able to keep go amount of money as backup for a rainy day. Real Madrid was probably the only club which was not in "Net negative" during the Covid time. so far a club to actually be in a situation like this is probably not a good sign. But this is a time when almost every club is facing financial difficulties. We all know what has happened with Barcelona. Similar kinds of things are happening with Manchester United as well. Real Madrid needed to get some certain players. So even though the money does not look very good right now, Real Madrid will be able to overcome this situation very quickly. Florentino Pérez will obviously look at their rival Barcelona and learn a few things from them.

Why are you feeling panic?

Madrid announced this a few days ago.



Source: firstpost

As long as the club has the strength to pay it, then why must we be worrying about it? Also, Real Madrid is not Barcelona, or even Manchester United. Madrid is Madrid. Madrid escaped big debts in the past. If this news is true, let's be positive. The Bank trusts Real Madrid's management. That's why they gave them 130 million to pay Mbappé. I see debt as a power as long as the club is well maintained; then i have nothing to worry about Real Madrid. With more revenue, I'm sure their expenses are rising due to inflation. But, Madrid still has the power to pay their debt.

Also, take a look at Real Madrid's latest financial report below.

Real Madrid and Rüdiger have both rejected a transfer, although there have been very good offers and especially from Saudi Arabia. If both cancel the offers from Saudi Arabia, they will not agree with other lower offers, so I am sure that Rüdiger will stay in Madrid.

It seems that this transfer will not happen because Real Madrid is not interested in selling Rudiger, he is also not interested in leaving Real Madrid because he feels comfortable playing there. Rudiger has been a key player for Real Madrid since joining the Spanish giants two seasons ago, winning six trophies with the club, including La Liga and the Champions League in 2023-24.
Rudiger gained Ancelotti trust after the injuries suffered by Eder Militao and David Alaba, his impressive performance in guarding Real Madrid defense made Ancelotti include his name in his plans for next season. He will remain at Real Madrid despite a big offer from Saudi Arabia, Ancelotti is very satisfied with his contribution to the defense and will keep him to keep the defense solid.

[bitgolden]

I mean Rudiger is not that bad, he is still good enough for Real Madrid. I think I agree that eventually Real will need to improve their defensive side as well, and will do fine, like they still have Carvajal for Christ sake, of course they will get younger there, but for the time being Rudiger is fine and I do not think that he needs to go. Knowing this, Rudiger doesn't want to leave, he will leave when Real doesn't want to play him, when that time comes I am sure that he will leave, and SPL clubs will still keep on trying to get him, but at the certain moment I think it is not really that important for him.

Making 10 million a year will be possible for him after a few more years, he has that name and he has that talent, it is not going to be impossible at all. What we need to look at here is that Rudiger isn't all that bad, and he can definitely continue to play at Madrid for a few more seasons.

The people who leave to go to SPL are usually people who are not finding time at the top clubs anymore, once a very crucial part of a top club, now just benched or not even resigned, so that means that we are looking for people more like Casemiro for example, which could work very well.

It's actually very crazy for anyone to think that Antonio rudiger will be leaving real madrid this summer, because right now, he is the most reliable central defender in the heart of real Madrid backline, so why would real madrid let him go? I know that we are already in the summer transfer window, so all kinds of rumour will be flying around, but their are some rumours that you will hear that will look obvious that it's a lie, and this particular rumour about Antonio rudiger moving out of real madrid is a blatant lie because real Madrid wouldn't sanction such move now, and even Antonio rudiger wouldn't even consider leaving real madrid, especially now that he has cement his place in the team with his solid defensive performance throughout last season, so I don't really think it can ever happen.

And lastly, due to the new found trust he has gain from the manager and the fan base, it would be very weird for him to even demand for a transfer out of the club, and so I don't ever see Antonio rudiger submitting any transfer request in the nearest future.

SPL so far only good to those who really want to earn a lot of money before they retired and for an example the players such as Neymar, Ronaldo and Benzema that these players have already to passed their prime and almost retired and they know with their condition it's almost be impossible to stayed at Europa and playing at high level of competitions so that's why they choose SPL because this league is not too competitive compared to European league such as Laliga or Serie A

About Real Madrid we all know the age some of their defender players have already above to 30 years and indeed they have to regeneration their squad by buying young players but i think they still needed senior players because with their experience these players still can makes Real Madrid defensive lines is still solid besides that senior players could being an the mentor for young player so that's why although Rudiger still not young anymore but Ancelotti still needed him

I think the rumour about Rudiger will went to SPL will not going to happend because Rudiger want to staying much longer in Real Madrid at least until his contract ended until 2026 and Real Madrid too have no plan to sell him this summer and Ancelotti might be will buy new defender players this summer but he said Rudiger will not going to anywhere because he is Real Madrid key player and next season Ancelotti is ensure Rudiger still gets one place on Real Madrid defensive lines

Yes, of course Rudiger will not leave and according to him will not be sold, because currently Madrid itself is short of defenders after Nacho officially left, well the issue about Rudiger will not be taken seriously this is just a rumor, Real Madrid is indeed very direct, seen last season he was very important and very good at connecting Madrid's defense line, and Rudiger's appearance is also very much needed when the opposing team tries to provoke the anger of Madrid players he always comes and defends his teammates so in my opinion this issue is just an issue.

Rudiger is a good figure for Madrid's future, in my opinion Ancelotti also included his name in the list of important projects in his strategy because Rudiger's tenacity can also be said that he is very worthy of a place in Madrid so there is nothing that can make him leave this season, especially Madrid's defense situation which is very lacking at this time, in fact what is happening right now Madrid is uniting young center backs not to be sold but as an exception.

When a player and team reject a lucrative offer from another team, it is certain that they will stay together. Usually this happens often and we see them staying together for the next season. It also makes no sense when they reject a big offer only to accept a smaller one. Real Madrid has prepared to defend their La Liga and Champions League titles, Rudiger is one of the players who will fit into Real Madrid's game plan, so he will stay here. I really appreciate Real Madrid's performance, because they are able to bring in many young players who are also very good. They are truly a dream team for players, where their success statistics as a team are a factor in players wanting to join them. I hardly see any failures when they want a player. Indeed, a team should be able to do something like this.

[Marvell1]

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.

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.

I hope Barcelona does not fall into another big debt trying to bring these two players. Barcelona is already not in a very good situation. I think it will be best for Barcelona to bring only one of them. At least best for the financial situation of Barcelona. But if Barcelona is really interested in bringing in both of them, they will have to let go of one player that they really need and also has high market value. I don’t know if that is going to be best decision by the way.

@Oluwa-btc, You know they are so much interested in Dani Olmo cause he is a product of La Masia academy. However, letting someone like Pedri go is going to be a mistake in my opinion. Barcelona should be very careful about the financial situation. I’m sure they would also not like to face the same circumstances that they were in a few years ago for which they had to let a player like Lionel Messi go.
