⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[TelolettOm]

I think Atletico Madrid signing Alvarez will be their best signing this season though the price is quite huge but it's expected for players of his calibre though I hope he succeeds well at Atletico Madrid

Of course, there is no doubt that Alvarez is a very talented player, only his fame and playing time at Man City are less than Haaland. And he went to Atletico Madrid, a great sign.

And now, with Alvarez and Sorloth, it means that Antoine Griezmann will probably have a higher chance of leaving Atletico Madrid.

If the list like,bit should be endless, what I think ATM needs is change of coach. Even if Simeone has been good, but the team needs a new coach;
New idea;
New challenge;
New anxiety;
New trials;
New energy and
New competition.
The arrival of a new person has many things to change, if not same old vibe which looks so energetic will remain without results and gradually they will not even be at the top 4 of the Laliga.

Barcelona directors are currently discussing a deal to bring Dani Olmo to Barcelona, ​​a guaranteed €55 million package plus €7 million in add-ons, with a 6-year contract and Dani Olmo has agreed,

Barcelona are now showing their readiness to take La Liga seriously with new ammunition,

we'll see what game Dani Olmo will show in La Liga, if all agreements are met

Barcelona is a team without much direction, it seems like they don't sit down and think much before acting. Dani Olmo is a player who got a lot of attention in the Euro games. Before that he didn't get much attention, and Barcelona seems to have become a club that doesn't research players before signing them, they just need to see a player getting attention at that moment for them to be interested in that player. Note that Dani Olmo played 107 games in the Bundesliga but only scored 17 goals and made 24 assists. That's not a good performance for a midfielder, another point is the case of Nico Williams. Barcelona always saw Nico Williams playing, but they didn't try to sign Nico Williams because he didn't get attention, but with this Euro Nico Williams got attention. In other words, Barcelona is not looking for good players, they are looking for famous players.

There is some news about Sancho the player from Manchester United who had some problems with Ten Hag and he couldn't have a good time there since there was a bad relationship between Ten Hag and Sancho which was the main reason for this player to leave Manchester United for another team.
Now it seems PSG sent him an offer and they are ready to hire this player while according to some news, he was about to stay in Manchester United for another season.

I can't understand Manchester United, Jadon Sancho played very well when he was at Dortmund, it was clear that the problem wasn't on his side, but on the side of the Manchester United coach, and now that Jadon Sancho has returned to Manchester United, then they should keep him for at least a few more seasons to help the team instead of selling him and then signing another player for a higher price who will have a much lower performance than Jadon Sancho.

Julian Alvarez has completed his move to Atletico Madrid from Manchester City, the deal is City's record sale and i think it is great for all parties involved. Alvarez would become a starter in his new club, City get a lot of money from the deal and Atletico Madrid get themselves a brilliant number 9, it is a win-win for all.

That being said, City need a replacement, Haaland is sure to miss games due to injury, so there has to be a backup. Julian was also crucial when KDB injured last season, so with his exit, i think they are short at the moment and they need at least two new players, but i am not sure if they are working on any transfers right now.

Absolutely amazing transfer by Manchester City to sell him for a generous profit. I remember when City signed Álvarez from River Plate for £14 million in 2022. Now, they are selling him for £81.5 million. Álvarez has had an amazing journey at Manchester City. I know how vital he is to the team.
Álvarez's career at Manchester City has been be overshadowed by Haaland. This is because he was a backup to Haaland, and he covered for City in Haaland's absence. They got him at a very low price & are now selling him at a high price. Profit on all fronts.

Atleti is buying the hardest-working young players, such as Gallagher and Alvarez. And they have a couple of pressing monsters now.

Welcome to London, Rodriguez.

Rodriguez is an underrated player, although he only played for small teams like Real Betis, CF America, Tijuana etc, but he's included in Argentina senior team which mean he has a quality. His performance in Real Betis was good since he always entered in top 3 best players.

West Ham got him for free, they're really lucky.

[Polkeins]

It has been confirmed that Manchester City has accepted Atletico Madrid offer for the purchase of Julian Alvarez and this is fairly quick agreement because Atletico Madrid themselves immediately gave an amount that matches what Manchester City wanted.
Without much drama in this transfer, it has also shown that Atletico Madrid has directly approached the player and will immediately conduct medical test before officially signing the expected 5-year contract.

Really? it's crazy.

I thought that Alvarez will replace De Bruyne as he's getting old, but if they want to sell Alvarez, this mean it's either new player or Foden will play in attacking midfield position. 75 Million Euros for Alvarez is cheap since it's below his market value.

Atletico Madrid have sign Le Normand, Sorloth and the next one is Alvarez, Atletico Madrid might can give a fight in Champions League.

Alvarez started arguing with Guardiola in absentia and after the Copa America he said he wanted more time in the main squad and Guardiola doesn't like to be under pressure, in fact even Haaland can sit on the bench if Guardiola so chooses. So Alvarez had no choice but to leave, because Guardiola would have benched him anyway for his attitude towards the club and the rest of the players.

Besides, it's a great deal for City, because they bought Alvarez for 14 million and are selling him for 70+25 and his price has gone up several times in a couple of years.

That's the problem; I read the news a few days ago that Alvarez and Pep Guardiola have a bit of tension and maybe this is the demand from Julian Alvarez to play full-time so there is no other way but to leave Manchester City.
This is a clear benefit for Manchester City because they got a lot of money from the sale of Alvarez.
He may be happy to move to Atletico Madrid because he will play full time.
Actually Manchester City will not be short of players after Alvarez leaves there are still replacement players.

With the Alvarez transfer, Guardiola is showing the rest of us that he is in charge at Manchester City, not the players. There are no more than 5 coaches like Guardiola in the world I guess . Even Klopp had to negotiate with Salah, Mane and the rest, and his influence in Liverpool was huge. Apparently after Barcelona, where Messi and other stars played, Guardiola realized that you can not build a team like that, even if you have the best player in the world, discipline and team play is much more important than talent and the ability to score one player.
Now Guardiola has sold a capricious player and still got more than 60 million profit and can buy any other player with this money, and maybe try to keep De Bruyne from moving to the Saudi league.

The Hammers has sealed it, a four year contract deal with the German striker Fullkrug from Borussia Dortmund. This would be the fifth signing West Ham have made and I think it's all in a bid to replace a few of their key players that have left the club. It is interesting how these small clubs in the EPL get to make most of the best signings in this transfer window.  Fullkrug is one striker that's good on the ball and with strength. Having him in the Hammers' squad pairing with Paqueta, Bowen  and Kudus  is a such a good choice.

I want to see Fulkrug succeed in the Premier League. I think he will perform best with West Ham. He had a good season with Borussia Dortmund, but Dortmund had already put Guirassy on the back burner. By selling him, they not only made a good profit, but also prevented the problems he would have caused when he was on the bench.

I think he's one of the articulated strikers I know to have joined the premier league, he is calm but dangerous, discipline and confident with the ball in the box as I have seen him play. I strongly believe he going to smash a lot of goals in for West Ham. There are a lot of quality players in West Ham and with their assistance synergizing with that of Fullkrug am optimistic he is going to succeed with the Hammers.

No good player like him would be comfortable seated in the bench so it was necessary he left Dortmund and this was just a perfect timing for him.

Barcelona directors are currently discussing a deal to bring Dani Olmo to Barcelona, ​​a guaranteed €55 million package plus €7 million in add-ons, with a 6-year contract and Dani Olmo has agreed,

Finally Barcelona wants to pay the minimum price demanded by Leipzig. As we know Barcelona already made an offer in the past but it is still below the minimum price set by Leipzig, Leipzig only considers to sell Dani Olmo if Barcelona wants to pay €60 million. Now, Barcelona agrees to pay  €55 million + €7 million, it is above €60 million (total €62 million). However, Dani Olmo deserves to have a value €60 million+ but I'm just curious about his physical. As far as I know, Dani Olmo often got injury for a long time. Can Barcelona to give him a special treatment to maintain his physical strength?

Barcelona's unstable financial condition currently makes Dani Olmo the second choice after Nico William failed to be recruited and did not reach an agreement. We all know the reason why Barcelona's previous offer to Leipzig was rejected. With the new agreement being discussed by the two clubs, it has reached a bright spot and is running smoothly, and as we know, Dani Olmo has long wanted to return to Camp Nou considering he is a graduate of the La Masia academy. We cannot deny that Dani Olmo's physical condition is currently declining and has resulted in him often getting injured, it is impossible for Barcelona not to realize this. and it seems that Barcelona has prepared other things that will be able to fix this, there must be other options that Barcelona has planned for this.

Barcelona are now showing their readiness to take La Liga seriously with new ammunition,

I don't understand why you claim this. If Barcelona is serious, they must prepare their squad with more new players. So far, Barcelona only signed 1 player from other teams (Pau Víctor). I know we can argue about the quality of this player, but 1-2 players are unlikely to bring very significant impact the the performance of the whole teams, especially if it is average players only. Please check again Barcelona transfer history!

I repeat again the current financial condition does not allow Barcelona to buy many new players, and with the current condition of Barcelona, ​​the best choice is to rely on its young players, and like other clubs that are preparing for the new season, they will definitely prepare their club seriously to start a new competition in the real competition, including Barcelona, ​​​​if you look at the pre-season matches that they are currently playing with positive results, Barcelona is quite serious about facing La Liga later with its young players.

Wow, am still in a shock in the kind of quality transfer westham united are making, this is an attacker that should be going to a bigger clubs, no disrespect to westham united but the kind of players they are signing this days shows that as a smaller club that they are, they really want to replace team like Chelsea in the big six, because what I have seen from them so far, they have proven beyond reasonable doubt that they mean business.

So when I compare this kind of players to the kind of players/kids Chelsea are signing, it shows that Todd boehly is busy restructuring the club to a mid table team, instead of a team fighting for trophies.

Lastly, I believe that if this players westham are signing can blend very fast, they are definitely going to cause a whole lot of troubles to most teams in the English premier league, and if they are consistent enough this coming season, they will definitely qualify for the uefa champions league next season.

Fullkrug is indeed a good player in the Bundesliga, he is also very dangerous for the opponent's goal and of course his instinct in scoring goals is also good, but talking about the place will greatly affect this player, especially this EPL certainly will not be easy for him to score goals, his presence at West Ham I think will not be long because this player does not have a good journey in European competition so I doubt he will be great there, and Fullkrug is also very slow if you look at his game I remember Man United loan player Weghorst is not much different in appearance.

And I also doubt he will be a starter at West Ham because West Ham has several names in front of him Antonio Kudus Bowen and Ings of course he has to work hard to convince their coach to give him playing minutes, and I think this will be a long season for Fullkrug on the West Ham bench, overall this player is good in a less competitive league but I doubt in the EPL he will be a failed purchase for West Ham.

Rodriguez is an underrated player, although he only played for small teams like Real Betis, CF America, Tijuana etc, but he's included in Argentina senior team which mean he has a quality. His performance in Real Betis was good since he always entered in top 3 best players.

West Ham got him for free, they're really lucky.

Guido Rodriguez is actually a reliable midfielder but unfortunately he just hasn't found the right team to support his talent to be better. Now he can join West Ham like a brighter future because in the EPL he will get a better career and experience because the competition is more competitive and can get the support of an experienced coach. West Ham is like getting a big gift for free if this team can develop Guido Rodriguez skills, I'm sure he will be a player who has a fairly high selling value in the future and can provide benefits to West Ham.

[Pulsar77]

Füllkrug is a smart transfer for West Ham. He is a wonderful scorer. His talent for finishing was seen more clearly with Dortmund last season. By the way it is also a great deal for Dortmund. 

Because you know how good Dortmund is with making good profits in transfers. They made a pretty nice profit from a 31-year-old striker after only 1 season. They filled his place already too. Guirassy deal was also a very cheap one at the same time considering he had a release clause. Probably they will be very happy to make this change. Because Guirassy has a big goal potential as we have all seen recently. 

[joniboini]

Probably they will be very happy to make this change. Because Guirassy has a big goal potential as we have all seen recently. 

He's on the older side isn't he? I checked on Google and his age is listed as 28 years old. Other Dortmund transfer also seems like they're buying players on the older side, while their young players come back or goes to loan. I don't recall if this is how they operate their transfer historically or if this is a recent change, but it feels like they won't look for player like Halland in this window[1]?

Many believe that when Alvarez leaves Man City this player will have his own stage at his new club. Because everyone knows how good this player is. Last season, Alvarez proved to be very reliable. At that time Haaland was injured and Alvarez took his place for a while and that's when Alvarez proved that he was a really great striker. And there is no doubt that he will be able to shine at Atletico Madrid. It's time for this youngster to get more people to see him on the pitch full-time and not as a substitute. Because he deserves it. Atletico Madrid even knew that so they didn't hesitate to spend a lot of money to get him.

Julian was also crucial when KDB injured last season, so with his exit, i think they are short at the moment and they need at least two new players, but i am not sure if they are working on any transfers right now.

When Atletico Madrid sealed this Alvarez deal, I asked myself who can Manchester City buy to replace Alvarez right now? If Haaland gets an ACL and he's out till March, what would happen?

Then, I felt like If Manchester city doesn’t find a quality back up striker this summer, they will go with what they have. They are already stacked on the attack and on the wings.

Pep can toy with playing without a striker if Haaland is not available. He has so many attackers to play with in the team. He has done it before when he moved Gabriel Jesus to the wing.

[Sg4j1n3ll0]

Juventus is pushing for Nico Gonzalez who is a great player and it seems to me that he is right for us this year he has done very well and the Juventus club likes him. The first name of Juventus is Karim Adeyemi but he doesn't want to leave Dortmund and so they want to do it again with nico gonzalez who is always an excellent purchase!

Honestly, Nico is good, but I'd prefer Adeyemi over Nico. The only problem is Borussia priced Adeyemi too high, and also i think Juventus is not having a lot of money to spend. And it sounds crazy if the money raised from selling Soulé and Hujsen combined just to buy Adeyemi. This is why Juventus goes for an alternative choice like Nico.
But, I think it's risky to take Nico. He has a history of injuries, and he isn't worth the price tag. Juventus must be concerned about Nico's injury record before trying to make a deal to get him. Also, there are some pluses from Nico. He has Serie A experience; also, he is an Argentina NT regular.

Hopefully, Nico's injury record won't hurt his career at Juventus if they take him.

But instead I think it is not something that can damage this type of player, Juventus currently has a solid project to carry on which will then remain over the years and will lead him to grow together, for the other players I do not pronounce myself we say that Juventus It is a great ambitious club and the money is there, surely they will not be the same ones there are in the City or other teams that the sheikhs have but surely Agnelli is no different so we will see!

Well, this question is also quite interesting to follow. But with the profit they got from the sale of Alvarez I don't think it will be difficult for Manchester City to find a suitable replacement for Alvarez's place. The only problem is that it will be difficult to find a player who is truly equal in quality to Alvarez. Although many potential players have been mentioned who could replace Alvarez in this transfer market. For example, even Joao Felix from Atletico Madrid himself. But yes, in terms of quality, I think Alvarez is difficult to replace. But actually currently there is a player who is quite striking and he performed extraordinary last season. It's just that this player hasn't played at a big club yet. He is Viktor Gyokeres. I feel this player has the potential to become a great player when he is given the opportunity to come to a big club like Manchester City.

This is a very classic example of the unpredictability of transfer window. Some opportunities just come up out of nowhere and clubs that have bar or crucial need gets to pounce. Athletico Madrid have gotten themselves a clinical forward, a born striker, in the mode of strikers in the club’s history. He is still very young and has a good CV.
I think his experience in the Premier League and the tutorage under Pep Guardiola will help him to cruise through La liga.

With the recent difference in quality within Spanish teams, I think  Atletico Madrid needs all the help that they can get in renewing their squad & bridging the chasm between them, Real Madrid & Barcelona.

So far, he has always lost out to Haaland in competing for a place in the main team so that he spends more time on the bench than getting a chance to play. Guardiola prefers to put Haaland in the front line, who he thinks is better than Alvarez, so he has to look for a new club to get a stage to play. Moving to Atletico is the best option for him because he will get more playing time than when he was still playing for Manchester City.

Moving to Atletico is the best option for him because he will get more playing time than when he was still playing for Manchester City. Now he has a new mission with Atletico, he can also get the coach's trust to fill a position in the main squad. Now it's time for him to show his ability, he will try to contribute to Atletico who gave him the trust to play regularly.

In fact, I think this player transfer can be said to be beneficial for all parties. Manchester City will get a big profit from the sale of Alvarez, while Alvarez will get a profit because he will be able to play in Atletico Madrid's main squad. and for Atletico Madrid they have finally found a potential young striker. And I think Atletico Madrid even looks much better prepared for the tough competition in Laliga this season than Barcelona. I don't underestimate Barcelona. but I see Atletico Madrid this time making more thorough preparations. And I think Atletico Madrid even made a bold move in signing this player. Because however, this transfer is also a new record for Manchester City, namely the sale of Alvarez is the record for the most expensive sale that Manchester City has received at the moment.
