⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

In your opinion, they have to completely change teams to insert such a player, in my opinion not necessarily, then we say that PSG would have no problem to change all the players of the squad even at the cost of paying them by weight of gold so I do not think there is necessarily a problem for Paris San German.

People behave as though PSG's world is coming to an end with Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe gone. This is recalibration not a rebuild. PSG can find substitutes; they still have funds to burn. Examine the Osimhen transaction. They are not flinging money at Napoli, panicked. They are knowledgeable and in negotiation. That is the PSG of today. Less flair, more deliberate approach. This is not about demolition of everything. It relates to creating anything environmentally friendly. The days of shopping every celebrity are long gone. It's about identifying the correct players, fit, and price range. PSG is nowhere. They are changing and becoming flexible. And it is exactly what outstanding teams do

The recruitment of Nico Williams is increasingly difficult to find a common ground, so Barcelona seems to have turned their attention to one of Bayern Munich players. Kingsley Coman could be an equally good alternative, plus Hansi Flick also likes the French player. Coman has lost his playing time so it would be better to choose to leave even though his status is uncertain as a long-term option if Barcelona really gets him.

Two months ago, Flick said he wanted to recruit Coman for Barcelona. It's good if his wish is coming true now. It's Bayern who have offered Coman to Barcelona. But we must be concerned about his price and agreement. I meant Bayern Munich was offering Coman on loan. If it's a loan without obligation, I'd give him a chance. He's a class player when fit. But if it's a loan with an obligation to buy him, then i said no for him. It's not that bad to give Coman a try in Barcelona. I believe Flick knows so well about him. Also, Coman was injury-prone. That's why a loan without obligation to buy him is preferred.

Actually I'm quite please with their approach, I believe this might be the influence of Luis Enrique, negotiation makes transfer better because they started all these smashing fee with  Neymar and I know their past transfer deals as been the reason Napoli would wants €100m+ from them, though getting Osimhen for that would have been good if only his injuries record last season was good and except Napoli will maybe try to keep him this season and hope no or few injuries setbacks then getting this fee would be easier but I doubt since it seems like he is not in Conte plans after all.

I agree getting Coman on loan with no obligation to buy is the right choice which would give them time to get funds to sign their main target Nico Williams because after Euro  it's obvious now that, Nico and Yamal dual will be a key factor for them competing against Real Madrid again and possibly just like old times with time

But today I saw a lot of news circulating regarding Nico Williams who apparently agreed to join Barcelona after this player had been in doubt for quite a long time. (Sourch)
 But I'm not sure about the source I read this from. It's just that if this is true then Barcelona will have to sell several players because they have to think about strict financial fair play rules. And I think bringing in Coman is also quite good. But maybe that is only a temporary option and not long term. Because in the long term getting Nico is the best. Because he could be a suitable partner with Yamal.

It looks like this will be good news for Chelsea fans as Joao Felix looks set to rejoin Chelsea who are currently in talks and considering Atletico Madrid no longer need the player, I am very confident that this transfer will go smoothly.
Joao Felix still has great talent as long as he joins the right club like Barca when he was on loan, he gave a very good contribution and if he rejoins Chelsea, he will definitely be ready to give a strong contribution to a club that appreciates his talent.
Do you agree with this statement?

I've always said talent doesnt win games. A clear vision, system, and fit are needed. Joao's skilled. Barcelona showed greatness. Dont forget his first Chelsea try. Good but not outstanding. Chelsea has a lot going. Every other week: new owners, players, strategies. Especially for Joao, who needs consistency and a purpose, thats not a winning formula.

Though its not a bad idea, approach with caution. If Joao fits Chelsea's long-term plan, wonderful. However, another short-term remedy wont help. As in business, soccer isnt only about the famous names. Making a winning team. It requires more than signing a few stars. It requires vision, strategy, and hard effort.

How Benfica let Rafa Silva go when he was at the peak of his career is still beyond anyone's comprehension. This is probably the best signing in the history of the league, his impact is so great that it has already shown itself in two games. If he continues like this, Rafa Silva will be a game changer. Beşiktaş definitely need to buy 2-3 more players of similar caliber to Rafa and Immobile. In this way, both the league title and progress in Europe can be achieved.

IMO, Kingsley Coman is a pretty good winger and he is a hard worker. Although he often plays as a substitute, his role is also quite important for Bayern Munich. Unfortunately, he lost the competition to become a main starter at Bayern Munich. I also read a report from Romano, maybe Coman can be a good alternative in the Barcelona squad. In addition, the loan option is an ideal choice. Considering Coman's salary is quite high, the question is whether Barcelona will not mind it. That is, if you have an agreement between Bayern Munich and Barcelona. But in fact Barcelona does need newcomers in several lines. Kingsley Coman can be a winger at Barcelona. I am quite sure, under Hansi Flick's guidance he can be trusted and play well. If Coman is finally loaned from Munich, it means Barcelona stops pursuing Nico Williams. Moreover, Barcelona does need a winger in Kingsley Coman's position. Because, some of the players in Barcelona do not perform so well.

For me the departure of Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe from PSG would be much better as a learning experience. PSG can gradually start building an even squad. Although the process takes a long time, that way PSG can better understand how real competition is. PSG finances are indeed unquestionable, but the problem now is the management of player transfers which is not so promising. The reason is, the selection of players is still focused on the criteria that star players want to meet. PSG seems to want to imitate what Real Madrid did, only in terms of management that makes PSG seem to have difficulty maintaining its dominance, especially its existence in the Champions League. When there were still Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe, PSG still couldn't win the UCL trophy. This means that the problem is no longer with the players, but with the management who are not yet good at understanding how to build a solid squad with a winning mentality.

[LGD2Business]

Beşiktaş manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst called PSG manager Luis Enrique to get information about the player. We can now say that the transfer of Cher Ndour is complete. There was a space in the midfield as Amir Hadziahmetovic went on loan to Çaykur Rizespor. Ndour will be a good alternative there. I don't think he will start at first but he can get the jersey in the future. He is a young player and it's said that he is on loan for one year, the option to buy is a must. We can't let such a player shine and then leave the team. Everyone still remembers what happened with Talisca. The same thing must not be allowed to happen again.

Yeah we know Joao Felix has the ability but not all coaches can handle it as you said it takes the right approach to bring out the best performance and yeah there's no harm in trying it.  Apart from that, Joao Felix can be placed in several positions meaning this player can be relied on to replace other injured players well I'm just not so sure if Joao Felix will be the starter. I can see Joao Felix's market value continuing to decrease with each passing season even though he is a young player so the Premier League is the right place for him to get back what he has lost, how much do you think Chelsea will have to spend to bring in this player? 30 million or lower?

Personally I think the presence of the players you mentioned here would have given PSG the trophy they needed so badly which is the champions league competition since they were already dominant in the domestic league but the blame goes to the management for failing to utilize the opportunity of bringing numerous stars to the club to win the champions league. The management of PSG made the players to dislike themselves and they couldn't bring back the team love and unity among the players that affected the performance of the players because they choose to play individual football leaving the team work which would have helped them to achieve the goal of the team faster before letting the stars leave the team.

Now they have no player they the team is built around his shoulders and the team will start building more stars again I think the management needs to correct the mistakes they made in the past by focusing on the goal of the team instead of choosing one special player among the players to give all the praises when the team starts winning trophies again. They have the financial capacity to bring in more quality players but they need to put in good work next season if they want to stand strong to compete in the champions league competition next season.

No, these are just rumors, Williams is staying at Atletico Bilbao, he even changed his number, they say he took the number nine, so he is definitely staying in the team, and everything that was written this morning about a possible transfer to Barcelona and his consent turned out to be rumors again. Journalists need to write about something, I just wonder if they come up with these headlines themselves, or if they have some unverified insiders who give them such low-quality information.

Beşiktaş didn't impress their fans in the previous years and they fail when you expect them to go beyond the point they stopped at..
Signing good players could guarantee at least to play some final games I guess and make the Turkish league more interesting to follow. Beşiktaş recruited other players from Liga Portugal, Braga exactly, and La Liga, ATM, in addition to some local players.

[ginsan]

Rumor has it Liverpool will consider selling Luis Diaz for €60M, is this the way Liverpool will save their finances, by selling Luis Diaz and buying a new striker in their target?
In my opinion Diaz can still be relied on at Liverpool even though he often suffers from long injuries but his performance has not decreased it's just that last season he didn't have a large collection of goals, so far there has been no interest but if there is an offer like Liverpool will be very open to it.

They are not throwing millions of dollars away thoughtlessly like in previous years. They are price-performance oriented and are careful when transferring players. I like this management style of Paris Saint-Germain. Money spent thoughtlessly like in the past has not brought them success. They are aware of this. Therefore, they must have entered a good review process about the player they will buy after Mbappé. In addition, Mbappé leaving the team for a free has also made them very difficult financially.

After having explored various elite European leagues, now Alexis Sanchez has returned to his first club in Europe, where he previously played for during the 2006-2011 period. Alexis Sanchez rejoined Udinese after his contract expired with Inter Milan, signing a two-year deal until June 30, 2026. He is still able to compete at a high level even though he is already 35 years old, Udinese is also very lucky to be able to bring back their former player for free after strengthening a different club in a different League. Now he has returned home, maybe he will also retire there after his contract ends.

Alexis Sanchez's performance is definitely not as good as before due to his age, which can be said to be no longer young, but his playing ability is still worthy of being brought back by Udinese. Now he will play two seasons there and if you look at Serie A, I am sure he will adapt easily because he already understands the pattern of play in that league. But to increase competition, perhaps Udinese needs to look at other players as competitors for Alexis Sanchez so that they can play alternately when needed.

Two seasons were enough for him to make the decision to retire, but if there is another offer as a definite step I am sure he will accept it. Now going to the Saudi Arabian League is a dream for some players who have entered old age because there they can make enough money and the clubs there are also able to provide large salaries to any player they want.

Alexis played for Udinese between 2006 to 2011, again signed a 2-year contract.

I think it is possible that he will make an approach to go to the Saudi league.

Actually, It is going to depend on the performance that he is able to show in his new club. If this former Arsenal and Manchester United forward is able to perform well, and he feels like he is still able to compete against the big teams and has enough capability to provide good enough Performance for his club, he will probably play two seasons. But if Sanchez has a drop in performance I think he will go to the Saudi pro league. And it is not something bad to go for as much money as you can get when you are already 36/37 years old. I mean Alexis Sanchez is already 35 years old. He does not have much time left in his career. So he should already start thinking about money.

The recruitment of Nico Williams is increasingly difficult to find a common ground, so Barcelona seems to have turned their attention to one of Bayern Munich players. Kingsley Coman could be an equally good alternative, plus Hansi Flick also likes the French player. Coman has lost his playing time so it would be better to choose to leave even though his status is uncertain as a long-term option if Barcelona really gets him.

https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1822953090003222548

Kingsley Coman played only 17 games for Bayern Munich last season. The manager did not see him as part of the squad. The 28-year-old French player must no longer see his future in Bayern Munich. In my opinion, he could be a very good alternative for Barcelona instead of Williams. I think his ambition will be at the highest level with Barcelona in La Liga, and he will play better with this ambition. Let's see if Barcelona can complete this transfer.

Previously, Barcelona was the team that most wanted to recruit Luis Diaz from Liverpool, but after they succeeded in bringing in Dani Olmo, of course Barcelona will no longer be interested in bringing in Luis Diaz at this time.
I don't know whether this news is true or not, but I see that now Diaz continues to be Arne Slot mainstay to fill their in left wing line in pre-season matches, selling Diaz will of course be a loss for them even though they will get a lot of money from the sale, but in terms of quality, performance and also Diaz style of play currently it is difficult for us to see it in other players even though Liverpool still has Gakpo at squad.

So far Liverpool have not made any moves in the transfer market and I think it has nothing to do with their current finances, it is possible that Liverpool have not brought in new players just because they tend to have more confidence in the current squad or they haven't see a player worth buying at the moment.
Yesterday Liverpool played two friendly matches which were quite crazy in my opinion, how could it not be, they faced two different teams in friendly matches in just one day and only a few hours apart when facing Sevilla and also Palmas and what's more amazing is that they were unbeaten in these two matches.

They are interested too then, cool.    I would be happy for Barcelona if they sign Coman. They have been searching for a solid LW for a while. Indeed the transfer of Nico Williams isn't happening obviously.

Coman isn't old. He is still quick and deadly with his talent. I'm confident he would perform better than Raphinha. More consistent at least. That's what Barcelona needs there. A reliable winger. Maybe you will doubt Yamal also being reliable because of being very young. But he has a really special talent. I believe Yamal will be better every year. But the dream for me has been to watch Williams - Yamal together at Barcelona.    It isn't happening for now.
