⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

The story isn't clear as it is and by now I saw this kind of move like Rodrygo would look for a way to leave Madrid because the Mbappe move made things to turn around for the player Rodrygo. A good player that wants enough playing time doesn't need to be in the bench and it would have been better to join the Citizens because he would get more game time but I can't tell if he's even sure of leaving the 15x champions league winners, if he stays I don't see him having that energy of last season, without any doubt I think this player might force his way out from Madrid at time soon.

Perhaps the move by Man City to sell Julian Alvarez to Atletico Madrid has something to do with Rodrygo, currently Manchester City still really needs a replacement for Alvarez and Guardiola sees what is needed in his squad in Rodrygo. Leaving Real Madrid is not an easy thing to do because he has everything there, but if Guardiola can give him more playing time, maybe this transfer will happen soon. He is a good player, he needs more playing time to develop his full potential, if Ancelotti cannot guarantee him a place in the first team due to Mbappe arrival, he will look for another club that can improve his quality. Manchester City is also a big club, moving there is not a bad choice for him because he can win titles with Manchester City.

After going through a fairly complicated round, it is now certain that Manchester United will bring in De Ligt from Bayern Munich.

The details are as seen in the picture where Manchester United will pay 45m euros plus 5m euros add ons and this makes it one of the most expensive recruits this summer. Manchester United are required to bring in a new center back considering that Leny Yoro is certain to be absent for a very long time and this could be a solution to overcome the defense line.

In addition, this will also be a reunion for Erik ten Hag and his former player who also used to defend Ajax and it is hoped that after this Manchester United can advance without experiencing other obstacles.

For real though, after getting the deals for Joshua Zirkzee and Leny Yoro done, Manchester United had been quiet in the transfer window, reading this update brought peace to my heart because I have been worried about the season ahead.
No, the initial plan has always been to bring in two solid defenders, not because of the Injured Leny Yoro. All I'm praying/ hoping, is for de Ligt to give Manchester United solid defending duties for three months consistently before Leny Yoro jumps back in fully fit with the squad.

de Ligt knows the manager well, the project and having Lisandro Martinez andAntony will definitely help de Ligt settle in and prepare for the great season ahead. Mazraoui also has been added. I see the plans of Erik Ten Hag to make use of both Mazraoui and Dalot as fullbacks.
One more addition I'm keen to see happening would be that of a new defensive midfielder. I don't trust Casemiro like I did during his first season. Getting Top Four should be the long goal for United this season.

To me leaving Madrid that is easy when you have achieved everything and as a player you some how see if you are being needed like before, because you also need to shine like the other players and the only way to do that is playing as regular as possible. If Rodrygo can picture how his playing time and his importance is going to be at Madrid he would not think twice if making a move out from Madrid since he's the only one fit to be left out between the 3 of them (Bellingham,  Vinicius Jr and him self Rodrygo) for Mbappe.
Pep Guardiola has everything planned out and is moving to Man City has a positive turn out then he can have that playing time even more than what Alvarez had when he was at Man City. Winning titles with the Citizens is something that he had to put at the back of his mind because it must surely come through, so I'd also wish to see him at the Etihad besides he's the kind they need.

The Transfer Market is still currently shaking. Teams are getting to where they're having to make decisions so they can activate their own plans as well. Let me give 2 big examples.

João Neves was quoted for €120m or nothing. PSG accepted exactly half of that in €60m + €10m in add-ons.

Victor Osimhen was quoted for €113m.  Now everyone knows that if a team is serious, they can get him for €70-80 so Conte's Lukaku Dream can come through.

Omorodion was a NO GO AREA for Chelsea as said by Athletico Madrid at the beginning of window. He's a Chelsea player today for €40m because Alvarez became available.

Im expecting a lot of movements before the end of the summer transfer window. Arsenal, Manchester United, Manchester city and Liverpool are still in the market and a lot can still happen before the deadline day.

I don't understand what Chelsea's current way of thinking is towards the player purchases they make, because they are like fomo and like feeling something is missing when they don't bring in players.
Currently, there are rumors that Chelsea have agreed to bring Mike Penders, who is a goalkeeper with a price tag of 17 million.


https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/cn5rz5kvqk7o
If this deal is successful, they will indirectly be like cultivating goalkeepers because this is the 8th goalkeeper they have brought in after Kepa returned after a loan from Madrid and Filip Jorgensen who was brought in from Villarreal last month.
They don't seem to realize the situation so they don't seem to care about the money that is burned just for the ambition of bringing in players.

Well, this is absolutely crazy and stupid at the same time, because the hierarchy of Chelsea football club don't even know what they are doing, they are just busy assembling bunch of average players into the team and by doing so, they are practically turning the team into an average team, ok let's look at how Chelsea have been since Todd boehly and co took over the club, with the kind of players he is signing into the club, I don't see Chelsea winning anything tangible in the next ten years, unless this clown of a club own keeps off from the day to day running of the club, because from what I have seen so far, and with the kind of stupid decisions being taken daily,  I think they are gradually establishing themselves as a mid table team, because they can't be assembling bunch of kids and be expecting to achieve anything tangible with them, so in essence of what am trying to say is that until Todd boehly and co remove their filthy hands from the day to day running of Chelsea football club, Chelsea football club will keeps on struggling under his reign.

Fábio Carvalho is one of the young players who has potential at first because indeed seeing his performance in the midfield he actually has a performance above average compared to other players at his age, it's just that the intense competition in Liverpool's midfield especially with the presence of several other players who were brought in made him left out because he could not compete and get more time for playing hours.

Being loaned out to several small clubs was also a little late in the end because he was too long on the bench so that his potential faded a little but by being at Brentford now then this could be a turning point because at least by being at Brentford next season there is a situation where he can play more than when imposing being at Liverpool.

I think Fabio Carvalho's performance was enough for him to play in the team, but the club didn't think so and allowed his transfer. The club may have chosen this path to find resources for the transfer. When they sent the player on loan, Fabio Carvalho showed good performance and proved himself. Despite this, such a decision was not a good situation for the player, but he will continue to improve his performance no matter which team he goes to.

Playing in Brentford is a good team choice for Carvalho's development. It could be questioned whether the situation would be good if he went to another team, but I think he will do well in Brentford.

The presence of Szoboszlai and his position which always alternates with Elliott makes it difficult for Fabio Carvalho to penetrate the main squad because he lost the competition, although previously he was loaned out to several clubs so that his performance improved because he got more time to play but when competition for the main line up is very difficult at Liverpool then indeed he has no other choice but to leave Liverpool.

This is a fitting decision and Liverpool are also not too disadvantaged because keeping Carvalho for a long time on the bench is also actually difficult at this time so they have to take the middle way by selling this player.

By going to Brentford at least there is a new hope for Carvalho to regain momentum at a fairly young age at this time because this is what he should have done from the start in order to get a club that can accept him and for self-development to have more performance later.

Manchester City is also a big club, moving there is not a bad choice for him because he can win titles with Manchester City.

But I remember when Ancelotti said that there would be no more players coming in and out of their current squad, that means it is unlikely to expect Real Madrid to release Rodrygo to Manchester City. But all that could still change when the player continues to pressure the team to immediately sell him to another team. Personally, I believe more that what Ancelotti said will happen, which is that they already have a squad that will not change again at least at the beginning of this season.
Honestly, I don't know in depth about Pep Guardiola's interest in Rodrygo, even if it is true then it is a very natural thing because in terms of ability Rodrygo is indeed a player who has very good abilities. However, it will be difficult for Manchester City to realize his move from Real Madrid, because Real Madrid itself has closed itself off from the transfer market.

[Farma]

We recently saw some news about Rodrygo the player of Real Madrid moving to Manchester City. Rodrygo is instead to Manchester City and he would like to start playing there maybe that's because of Pep Guardiola working there.
Even a few months ago, Rodrygo started talking about Manchester City and he said Manchester City is the best team in the world. This made us think Rodrygo is interested in playing for Manchester City soon. But he recently said he won't leave Real Madrid and he prefers to stay in Real Madrid for a longer time even if Guadiola calls him.

The story isn't clear as it is and by now I saw this kind of move like Rodrygo would look for a way to leave Madrid because the Mbappe move made things to turn around for the player Rodrygo. A good player that wants enough playing time doesn't need to be in the bench and it would have been better to join the Citizens because he would get more game time but I can't tell if he's even sure of leaving the 15x champions league winners, if he stays I don't see him having that energy of last season, without any doubt I think this player might force his way out from Madrid at time soon.

I have not received any definite news about Rodrygo wanting to leave Madrid because there is Mbappe in my opinion he is still a key player for Real Madrid maybe he will lose a little playing time but it seems he will not leave the club and I think Madrid is also not interested in selling him, I think Rodrygo is a good kid and he is disciplined and he knows what is better in Madrid until now he has won 2 Champions with them and it can be said that his contribution in recent seasons has also been extraordinary so I think Madrid fans will not let this happen.

But I believe with Ancelotti he will find tiki taka or a good strategy for the players so that they get playing minutes especially someone like Rodrygo of course he will get his performance and the arrival of Mbappe does not make things worse I think they will work together better and I think Rodrygo is not a loser this is a challenge for him in Madrid by continuing to try to get a place there to compete and he deserves to be in Madrid.

Chelsea ambition to improve their squad is not wrong but what is happening now seems to have gone too far, they have brought in a lot of players and also burned a lot of money at the moment but it doesn't seem like that's enough to stop Chelsea transfer activity, Chelsea is again trying to make transfers which in my opinion is not important and actually just wastes money when they bring in a goalkeeper who they don't even know where else to position them in the squad,  their squad is very crowded with young players who they bought very expensively but so far they haven't able to show quite good performance in pre-season matches, in my opinion if Todd Boehly continues to show his unlimited ambition by bringing in players now, that is will not make Chelsea better in the future but it does not rule out the possibility that they could be subject to fair financial sanctions in the future.

This is a very good development, Manchester United has made the right decision by bringing in De Ligt, and I hope this signing will will bring a permanent solution to their defensive problem. Last season Manchester United conceeded lots of goal and it was a major problem that made them struggled and lost some unnecessary matches. I just hope that De Ligt will not also join their injury list, because I can't explain why players who move to Manchester United are always picking injuries.  De Ligt is a very good player and if he remain fit Manchester United will be very solid defensively this season. One thing I like about United this season is that they are being very active in the transfer market, and it seems like their struggling days are coming to an end.

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.

It's clear that Tottenham desperately need a striker since Richarlison performance wasn't good enough, played 66 matches and only scored 15 goals. Postecoglou has tried to rotate some of the players to fill striker position, it starts from Son, Kulusevski, and Johnson, but the result is nothing different.

Although Dominic Solanke didn't qualified for England senior team, but he can compete with other England teams.

[JeffBrad12]

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.

Strange words "I'm not sure that I'll leave, I'd like to stay" and other vague nonsense without specifics. Apparently reporters continue to pester him with questions about the future, but he can't say outright "it will depend on the outcome of the League v City case," so he answers vaguely and in fact leaves himself the option of both leaving and staying.
I wish he stayed and showed his abilities without the infinite money cheat 

If it was the infinite money cheat only, then something's utterly wrong with Chelsea. Correct me if I am wrong, but there is a number of teams in the Premier League that has spent far more than Manchester City in the last five years or so. But I am not sure though and sources differ, I am only certain that if the money hack were to be true automatically, Chelsea should be in front of Manchester City almost every single season for several years now. Manchester United also had record spending in one of the last few seasons.

It was not cheating. But, like Chelsea, the club abused a loophole in the PSR rules. I remind you that if when you buy a player, then the cost  of transfer is spread over the length of the contract. Also, when you are able to sell a player, then it's counted as immediate profit for that year's accounts. So, when Chelsea buys Jorgensen for 20 million with a 7-year contract, then it must be like 20/7. But when they sold Maatsen for 35m, and it's immediate profit for Chelsea.

Fabrizio Romano

After loaning Fábio Carvalho to Leipzig and Hull City, now Liverpool releases Fábio Carvalho to Brenford on a permanent basis. I think Liverpool will recall this player from the loan period because at the club where he played he played quite well, but Liverpool has another decision with this young player. He is actually still young, he still has a long and bright future with his position as an attacking midfielder and can also play as a winger. He was released for £ 20 million by Liverpool along with additional costs. He will soon undergo a medical test with Brentford.

I don't know for sure whether this will be the right decision taken by Liverpool or not, because he played quite well. And by selling one of their players, it seems like there will be a player who will enter the Liverpool squad in the remaining time in the transfer market.

Fabio Carvalho was bought from Fulham on 2022 but he struggled to break into Liverpool first team and it makes Fabio Carvalho only spend his time on loan option and if i am not mistaken last season Fabio Carvalho was loaned to Hull City and playing at Championship division and scores 9 goals i think this is good records from him even on pre season tour Fabio Carvalho was performing well

I thought Arne Slot will including him into Liverpool squad for next season but apparently Liverpool have to sell him this summer to Brentford and probably this is good option for Fabio Carvalho because i have to says to playing regular in Liverpool it's quite hard for him because at Liverpool squad there are some of good players such as Mo Salah or Luis Diaz and i think it's hard for Fabio Carvalho to compete against these players for Liverpool starting lineup

[naira]

Chelsea ambition to improve their squad is not wrong but what is happening now seems to have gone too far, they have brought in a lot of players and also burned a lot of money at the moment but it doesn't seem like that's enough to stop Chelsea transfer activity, Chelsea is again trying to make transfers which in my opinion is not important and actually just wastes money when they bring in a goalkeeper who they don't even know where else to position them in the squad,  their squad is very crowded with young players who they bought very expensively but so far they haven't able to show quite good performance in pre-season matches, in my opinion if Todd Boehly continues to show his unlimited ambition by bringing in players now, that is will not make Chelsea better in the future but it does not rule out the possibility that they could be subject to fair financial sanctions in the future.

At a time when other clubs are not so active in the transfer market, now we are being entertained by Chelsea with their buying activities here and there without thinking twice. The total is now 44 players and only 19 will be registered to play in the EPL next season. There are even 3 players in 2 days that Chelsea brought in. This is the first time in my life to witness a player hunt carried out by an EPL team. Todd Boehly seems to want to launder money in a crazy way. I will enjoy it and will laugh at the end of the season if Chelsea does not manage to finish in 4th place in the standings. So as long as the transfer market is still open, it is possible that Chelsea will buy more than 20 more players.

[Velvet78]

Perhaps the move by Man City to sell Julian Alvarez to Atletico Madrid has something to do with Rodrygo,

Rodrygo could be a great replacement for Alvarez of course. But does Ancelotti think of letting him go? The last time we heard about this transfer rumour, he was looking confident that Rodrygo would stay.

He is still an important part of Real Madrid even after Mbappe has arrived. Ancelotti states that. Besides Rodrygo's cost would probably be way higher than Alvarez. His market value is 110 million euros and I'm quite sure Real Madrid would demand no less than that. Alvarez signed for Atletico Madrid for like 95 million euros right?    I don't know whether Manchester City is intending to spend that much on Rodrygo or another single player now.

[ajiz138]

Victor Osimhen was quoted for €113m.  Now everyone knows that if a team is serious, they can get him for €70-80 so Conte's Lukaku Dream can come through.

Still curious about Victor Osimhen where he's going? Chelsea still want him but don't want to make up for the high price, already know Victor Osimhen wants to leave but is constrained by the price tag by Napoli because they don't want to sell below 100M on the other hand Conte still insists on Lukaku.

I can't help but think that this will be an argument between club management and Conte, it could be that Victor Osimhen and Conte have no chemistry because that's not what Conte wants.

[joniboini]

His preseason gametime is really good IMO, some fans have a strong believe that the team should give him another chance this season. On the other hand, pre-season games don't translate well into Premier League or Champions League matches. I guess they have other considerations on why Slot would sell him, considering his track record with young players aren't that bad. Personally I'm a bit surprised by this decision too, especially if they're doing this to buy another midfielder that cost 60 million euro or more. Anyway, hindsight is not a reliable metric so let's see whether this is the right decision or not.

[Inwestour]

Rodrigo himself is categorically against such a transfer, and it seems to me that no player in his right mind would want to leave Real Madrid of his own free will. And Rodrigo says that he put in a lot of effort to get a place in the main Real Madrid team and now he is not ready to leave this team. In addition, if I understood correctly, Ancelotti decided to change the scheme only so that Rodrigo could continue playing after Mbappe joined the team, so this is further proof that Ancelotti will let Rodrigo go.

[JeffBrad12]

Rodrygo could be a great replacement for Alvarez of course. But does Ancelotti think of letting him go? The last time we heard about this transfer rumour, he was looking confident that Rodrygo would stay.

I'd be amazed if Real Madrid's going to accept Man City's offer. I'm also wondering how much the offer prepared by City. This is because Liverpool had sent a very big offer to Real Madrid for Rodrygo, but Madrid rejected it.

See this



Will City double Liverpool's offer last months?

Rodrygo is one of Real Madrid's superstars. He is also able to play in many positions too. It will never be possible if Real Madrid is gonna let him go for low  transfer fees. 110 million was only his "Market" value, but the actual price is determined by Real Madrid.
