⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Coyster]

I dont think Guardiola can decide a lot in the current situation.
Besides the fact that Manchester city is still under investigation for the Financial fair play violation, he is expected to leave the club at the end of the year as he said.

Guardiola never said he was going to leave City at the end of the year, he already corrected the media on that misconception, at the end of last season, he said he is closer to leaving than staying. So he said a few weeks ago that what he meant was that he has already stayed over 7 years at the club, so definitely he cannot stay another for another 7 or more, so his exit is drawing closer.

Having said that, the 115 charges and investigations does not impact on Pep's future at City. The EPL is just chasing smokes, if they really had any concrete evidence against City, this case would have been over a long time ago, just like the case of Everton and Nottingham Forest respectively.

Guardiola contract will end next season but he said that he is not leaving the club since the management have decided to extend his contract. This is why he will stay because he still loves to coach in City.

The club needs him just like he needs them too and since he is not retiring from coaching, he will definitely enjoy coaching his team which he has built. I don't know how he will face the charge on him for financial fair play violation.

Chelsea has been actively scouting for players in an ever increasing pace in preparation for the coming season and they've agreed  on a deal to sign Pedro Neto on €63m deal from Wolves

Chelsea have more planning to make because we're witnessing the grassroots of young generational players. These players will become more substantial and productive for the promising future. Chelsea is definitely very active in the transfer window. It's been really a hectic one for the Blues but I'm not sure if they will able to guarantee the balance and stability of the club. The scouting sector have promising sights for young players.

Actually, what Chelsea has done gives them hope for the years to come. But the problem would be if all the plans were Enzo Maresca's idea, meanwhile if in the process Chelsea didn't get good results and Enzo Maresca would be kicked out of Chelsea, then it would just be a futile project and cost a lot of money. Now the question is whether Enzo Maresca will still be given the opportunity if Chelsea don't get good results this season.

As we know Chelsea has more players registered 40+ - the crazy purchases of the summer transfer market now may indeed be for the coming years so that young players can grow better in performance so is this excessive by Chelsea?
If indeed this is the idea of Maresca who wants to buy more players if during his career it does not have any impact then Maresca's goal has failed to handle Chelsea and this failure can make Chelsea lose because the players do not show their performance.

Guardiola contract will end next season but he said that he is not leaving the club since the management have decided to extend his contract. This is why he will stay because he still loves to coach in City.

From now to next season and the end of his contract is still a very long time for him to have a change of opinion about staying in Manchester City. Me I do not see any reason for him to remain in the club because he has already achieved everything he needs to achieve with Manchester City and he needs to leave the club before the record he has set and the standard begins to depreciate.

There will be bigger challenges for Pep Guardiola, and I am sure he will be willing to embrace them.

If indeed this is the idea of Maresca who wants to buy more players if during his career it does not have any impact then Maresca's goal has failed to handle Chelsea and this failure can make Chelsea lose because the players do not show their performance.

It may become confusing for this coach to manage all these players and keep them all satisfied with playing time. The coach has quality players in the team, and enough squad depth, it will be a shame for him not to achieve anything still next season.

I didn't even know Fiorentina was interested in De Gea.    I only heard about Genoa but they gave up on the transfer after so-called high salary demand. I wonder how much he wanted from them.

Anyways, this is going to be the first time in his career to play in the Serie A. He started his career at Atletico Madrid but his whole career continued at Manchester United. Having some change might be nice maybe. He is 33 years old. I don't believe it is too much considering he is a goalkeeper. The only thing I'm curious about is how good he will perform. He hasn't been playing football for more than a year. I hope he adapts quickly again.  

Now David de Gea officially plays for Fiorentina I have checked it on transfermarkt, David de Gea seems confident that he still has the ability that's why he asked for a high salary and without a club for a season doesn't mean not playing at all of course he remains active in personal training sessions unless he decides to retire he probably won't do much. Previously after Genoa there was another club from La Liga that was interested in him but for some reason he prefers Fiorentina yeah maybe because the salary is 3 million per season.

De Gea is a very high quality goalkeeper, there is no doubt about that, but he has been away from football for 1 year. This is a disadvantage for him. I think his salary is also high accordingly. Fiorentina must have great confidence in his abilities. I hope they will not regret this choice. I am sure that he will make important contributions when he fixes his deficiencies in Fiorentina after a while.

Daniel Olmo was transferred from Leipzig to Barcelona for 55 million Euros and I was not surprised at all by this transfer.
Olmo showed an excellent performance in the European championship and with that performance I did not think he would stay in Leipzig and it happened.
I think Barça has become stronger with Olmo. This year, the title race in La Liga seems to be between Real and Barcelona and will be competitive.

Chelsea is just buying up all kinds of young players nowadays, and they are really spending way too much on these players but they are planning on building a team that is so young that they could play 10+ years together.

With that idea, two things could happen, either they are going to be good and win something eventually when they grow up together and become better, but it will take growing pains when they are not that great at the moment, not enough to win a premier league title, but they could keep the players and grow together and be better each season. Or they could just play these players, make them valued even more, and sell them to even richer opponents and make some money from it.

I don't know which one will happen but I think Chelsea wants some titles or results, not money because they already have the money. Whoever is the person in charge of these transfers, that person isn't someone who is looking to get results today, it's someone who looks to be good,, even great in the future. That is why this isn't really a bad idea, it's good for their future and I believe that they are going to get a good result one way or another, should be a good thing eventually for sure.

Actually, if you look at the statements given by Pep there are some indications that he could have left but it cannot be concluded that he will leave Manchester City.

It's just that when there are signals and some words Pep might leave then we also can't associate it with the contract Pep currently has.
Pep's contract at Manchester City is only until 2025 and that means the end of next season he could definitely leave if there is no agreement for a contract extension so in this case Manchester City can still try to seduce Pep in the coming season but when it doesn't work then it is certain that Pep will leave which could make a complicated situation for Manchester City because Pep is one of the most meritorious coaches at the moment and losing him next season could be a source of problems for Manchester City in the future.

Tottenham is about to complete Dominic Solanke deal. But for a huge amount like £65m. 

https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1821937036237935008

I mean he had a great season the last time. 19 goals in the PL. Pretty good work! But do you think he is really worth that much? It looks like Bournemouth officials will be very satisfied with this deal considering they bought him for an amount like £18m.    I don't know if Solanke can make an impact like Kane. But he doesn't have to play at that level. Even if he maintains the last season productivity, it would be great for Tottenham.

Manchester City do want a contract extension and there are actually several reports saying that Manchester City has presented a new offer for Pep but until now Pep still doesn't want to discuss it because he thinks that the press to navigate the competition next season must go well and he wants to focus there first.

Until now there is still no clarity about the future of Pep actually even though Manchester City's desire to extend the contract is very big especially they still need Pep's services now but in this case as long as the decision is still not agreed upon, all possibilities can still occur. Especially for now there are also several offers for Pep to train the national team so we cannot be sure whether he stays or leaves now.

It wasn't Maresca idea to keep on buying as much players, the decision is coming from Chelsea's management. We don't fully know their reasons as to why they keep on purchasing this numbers of young players but from what we see and have to say, it's all attached to a business motive, nothing seems far from this. Maresca should understand that now he has a lot of burden, with the number of players in the team, having a bad season should not be an option because he have good numbers of players who plays in same position. Even the newly bought player Neto has about 4 players who are applicable to same position, seems like who is best on the field will actually merit the being part of the starting eleven.

As expected, I know that Tottenham will be the best to Dominic Solanke because the player will be well valued there and will surely get enough playing time than if he joins Arsenal because Arsenal will play Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz ahead of him; while he will have time to play in Tottenham because since Harry Kane left, they are struggling for a reliable top 9 to replace Kane because Richarlson is not playing well as expected since he is not competitive enough to score above 15 goals a season in the Premier League.

Spurs have not signed a quality striker since Harry Kane moved to Bayern Munich last summer. They put their faith in Richarlison and Son Heung-min but these two are not enough. That's why coach Postecoglou wants a number 9 player that suits his playing style. And Solanke's profile fits the team's needs. Solanke is very familiar with the Premier League, Solanke could prove to be a game-changing addition for Spurs as they aim to return to the top four this season. Solanke will be Tottenham's fourth new signing this summer after Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall and Yang Min-hyuk.

And I think Tottenham should sell Richarlison this summer to raise funds for this expensive signing.

I am sure that he will make important contributions when he fixes his deficiencies in Fiorentina after a while.

I admit De Gea has high productivity, but that was in the past. And now, he has not had it all since leaving Man United. From here we can see that if De Gea still has a good appearance, Man United will definitely not let him go and I was also a little surprised at that time De Gea was still enthusiastic and said that if a European team recruited him, he was willing to get a small salary as long as he did not leave the European team. But after another team made an offer, he demanded a very high salary.

Well, hopefully Fiorentina already knows why De Gea left the EPL team and De Gea should not disappoint his current team and give maximum contribution.

[bering]

Finally Pepe has been give up that at 41 years old he finally decided to retire from football apparently Euro Cup was became an his last appearance for big tournament and this is so special for Pepe because at his age Pepe can playing well with Portugal and can guarded Portugal defensive lines with very well too

Pepe is Real Madrid legend because he spend over than 11 years with this team from 2007 to 2018 and his duet with Sergio Ramos has been help Real Madrid to gets plenty of trophies and one of them is Champion League trophy and with Real Madrid Pepe was playing 252 matches

Last season in the English Premier League, Dominic Solanke had his best campaign in the league so I was expecting one of the top  clubs in the league to come for his services but looking at your report regarding his the amount Tottenham are about to pay Bournemouth to secure the services of Solanke, I personally feel that the price is outrageous. I know Solanke right from his days as a Chelsea player and even when he was at Liverpool till last season that he had his breakthrough season and never has he shown enough result to be considered a striker that should cost past £50m. However, Tottenham Hotspur management knows how important he is to their plans for next season and I hope Solanke delivers for them.

[Slow death]

I don't know which one will happen but I think Chelsea wants some titles or results, not money because they already have the money. Whoever is the person in charge of these transfers, that person isn't someone who is looking to get results today, it's someone who looks to be good,, even great in the future. That is why this isn't really a bad idea, it's good for their future and I believe that they are going to get a good result one way or another, should be a good thing eventually for sure.

The problem with this type of strategy is that all these young players they are buying are not players who can give a 100% guarantee that they will play well in the Premier League and for Chelsea in the future. When you think too much about the future like this, you end up making serious mistakes, such as having a young and weak team. We saw this with Barcelona, ​​who wanted to rejuvenate the team and removed the old players by putting in young players, but this destroyed the team. All teams need to focus more on the present. If Chelsea really wanted to win titles, then they would focus on signing good players with the clear objective of winning titles now, and as time goes by, they buy younger players each season, something like buying 1 young player each season.

see for example this case:

Gabriel Slonina has signed in as new Barsnley player on loan from Chelsea.

No buy option clause included in the deal.

source: https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1821984349173977219

He is 20 years old, if Chelsea's intention is to have a very young squad, then why are they putting Gabriel Slonina out on loan? It seems to me that Chelsea's management doesn't have a big plan, they make decisions randomly. And once again Chelsea made another signing, they signed Pedro Neto, who is 24 years old and is a striker. In this transfer window, Chelsea surpassed all teams in terms of the number of players they signed, but the question I ask myself:

Have all these signings that Chelsea made in this transfer window turned Chelsea into a team capable of winning the Premier League?

I dont think Guardiola can decide a lot in the current situation.
Besides the fact that Manchester city is still under investigation for the Financial fair play violation, he is expected to leave the club at the end of the year as he said.

Guardiola contract will end next season but he said that he is not leaving the club since the management have decided to extend his contract. This is why he will stay because he still loves to coach in City.

The club needs him just like he needs them too and since he is not retiring from coaching, he will definitely enjoy coaching his team which he has built. I don't know how he will face the charge on him for financial fair play violation.

The FA Federation is also waiting for Pep Guirdiola until next season to get him so that he can train the England national team that is expected, this is a rumor after Southgate resigned from his coaching, of course this is not certain which one he will keep whether at the Man City club or take a job with the England national team.

Financial fair play violations then the club will be punished, while Pep Guardiola can think of another job because it is clear that the charges according to news sources are many demands faced by Man City at this time.

The PFF case will be long unfinished, whether it will be proven or not.

However, Tottenham Hotspur management knows how important he is to their plans for next season and I hope Solanke delivers for them.

Dominic Solanke has developed into a very good striker over the years and last season we saw how he was a excellent and scored a whopping 19 league goals. He is going to be the most expensive player that’ the Bounrnemoth club has aver sold and also the most expensive player they the Tottenham club had bought. It the amount with the way players price are easily been inflated Solanke for $60m isn’t just off it. Moreover I trust the director for Tottenham Levy on how he signs players I know that was the best deal he could ever get for the player.

Chelsea has been actively scouting for players in an ever increasing pace in preparation for the coming season and they've agreed  on a deal to sign Pedro Neto on €63m deal from Wolves

According to Fabrizio Romano,Official bid has been accepted… as final package will be worth €60m fixed fee plus €3m add-ons,

Pedro Neto already agreed on personal terms as his agent J. Mendes got deal done with Chelsea today.

👀 Wolves want Carlos Forbes from Ajax to replace Pedro Neto… who’s set to travel to London today.
Medical tests for Pedro have been already booked.
source: Fabrizio Romano.

I can't believe it, how many players have been recruited by Chelsea so far? Are they planning to have two or more teams in the same club? Pedro Neto is an injury-prone player, and it is also a giant red flag for him. I don't know why Chelsea was recruiting him from Wolves. This recruitment is not that bad, but it's not that good as well.
The only problem is that if Chelsea recruits him with an expensive fee, which is around 60m. It's too expensive for a player with injury concerns. He hasn't done much to warrant it, and we have a surplus of players at his position.

It's weird how this team recruits anyone. There were no PSR rules to limit them. Chelsea is buying like it’s Black Friday! And selling no one!! I'm sure FA's eyes are on Chelsea now.
