⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Polkeins]

Here's a good signing by Manchester United, they bought both De Ligt and Mazraoui from Bayern Munich only for 60 Million Euros. Their back line will be stronger, nice to see Manchester United paying attention with their back line instead of focusing to sign new striker over and over.

They will save Onana's name since they will minimize Manchester United of getting conceded.

This transfer is really good and for the price of 60 million MU bought two good defenders to the team, besides both seem to have played at Ajax and Ten Hag should know both players. The main thing is not to turn out like with Yoro, who was bought for 60 million and managed to get injured before the season and now probably will miss a couple of months.
Also weak position in the defense is the wings, because in fact one Dalot is left of those who can play a good edge defender.
Ajax by the way joked that after the purchase of Mazraoui and De Ligt, Manchester United should properly be called Ajax United.

Rumours have been circulating for a few hours now that Al-Ahli want to take Vinicius Jr. from Real, but Real Madrid are pointing to the transfer fee stipulated in the contract, which is 1 billion euros. I can't imagine that any club would pay that amount for any athlete, not even one from the Saudi league. Even for the clubs from Saudi Arabia, €1bn is a lot of money even if they had the money to pay.

It is excessive to pay a €1 billion clause for Vinicus even though Arab clubs are never short of money but it must be more reasonable to buy players, and the clause is so that no club can redeem him so Real Madrid still owns him.

I know that this will never happen. €1 billion is a lot of money. Maybe it's just a few rumors because it's not going to be valid and it's just going to increase the traffic of the media.

This news is purely speculative. 1 Billion Euros is a lot of money and I think the Arabs know what kind of money it is. Otherwise, it is impossible for a player to pay that much as a transfer fee. Even if the player has superpowers, this is a huge amount of money. With 1 billion euros you could build a team that would put an end to Real Madrid's dominance. That's why it's a lot of money for a player. I think Real Madrid knows this and that's why they have set a utopian value for Vini Jr. Even those who don't understand soccer know that Vini Jr is don’t worth 1 billion Euros. I think the media site that published this news has seen a serious drop in traffic lately.

a pretty good buy for man united, hopefully these two defenders can help the red devils defense in the premier league and other competitions, man united spent 60 million euros for two people, that's a good expense, and ten hag is trusted by management to choose his recruits in full, hopefully this season erik ten hag will not disappoint man united supporters, and can compete.

on the other hand manchester united will face fulham in their first match, de ligt can be played considering luke shaw is injured.

Manchester united last season suffered often from the fact that their defence was so bad while their key defenders where often injured and this season they are really doing well fixing that problem by getting more defenders, I expected them to sign more after their new signing Lenny Yoro was injured during pre season, good buy though all they hope is for them to turn out great once the season kicks off now especially with no unfortunate injuries set backs.

After the back line is now resolved because the purchase of a defender has been completed, now Man United is eyeing Ivan Toney along with Chelsea because this team also wants him.

Hojlund is injured for a few weeks.
Rashford is linked with Arab Club, this is not certain.
So anticipate when there is a Rashford agreement with another team then Ivan Toney will be the next target, so far they have not dared to pay 60M for Ivan Toney.

I have also heard that Todd Bohely is more interested in the profit that he earns instead of actually making the club better. Probably that is also a reason why we are watching such a downfall of Chelsea in recent times. But directly saying that also makes you think that they are spending money, so reasons could be a lot of other factors as well.

Todd Bohely is an investor that only cares about his profits and knows nothing about football. He's spending too much money right now so he can profits in the future. The numbers of first team players Chelsea has is increasing and he's not stopping soon as he is adding more players to the team. The only reason I can think about why he's doing this is to be able to sell the players in the future for profits. He might loan many of them out to have playing time to increase their value and when he sells them, he's make a fortune. Haven't you noticed the long contracts, he isn't only doing that just to avoid FFP rules but also to hold the players for long.

Obviously it will only be a rumor that will not happen and Real Madrid and Vinicius Jr said that they rejected the offer.
From this post I understand that the player is 24 years old and he still has a higher career with a big European club.
While in the SPL it will not be able to provide a big career like when with a European club and on the other hand Real Madrid is also unlikely to let go of Vinicius Jr who is currently a key player.
The rumor does not need to be taken seriously and just ignore it.

It is true that vini can earn a lot of money by playing in the Saudi league. But perhaps his career will not go forward. Vini is now at the most important moment of his career. Vini was one of the best performers in La Liga last season. And Vinicius has a great chance to win this year's Ballon d'Or. In such a situation, there is a big possibility that Vini's performance will deteriorate if he goes to a club in the Saudi League. Because the Saudi League is relatively less competitive. And it is not sure whether Vini will be able to join any big club later.

Vinicius is certainly not stupid and greedy. Vinicius has no chance of accepting the Saudi League's offer. No one wants to leave a big club like Real Madrid for a small club just for the money. Moreover, Vini's career will be better in the future. He is going to be one of the best strikers in the world in the future, unless his performance is hampered by injuries.

A few years ago we saw Neymar leave La Liga for the less competitive league Ligue 1. PSG were the stronger team. But we don't see the expected good performance from Neymar. So Vini should never take such a decision which may harm her career.

There is close to zero chance Vini Jr leaves Real Madrid to go to Saudi Arabia any time soon.

He is not even at his peak yet, he earns more than enough at Real and has a chance to take over from Messi and CR7 as the next world super star.

No way he goes to Saudi which is essentially a well paid retirement home for older players.

Vinicius' $382.5 million annual salary if he goes to Saudi Arabia, I don't think he'll be tempted by the big money to stay longer at Real Madrid.
Provided that the clause is successfully redeemed for $1 billion, Vini's move will be even closer.

I feel that he will not leave, he is still at a young age and he has not achieved much so he will stay at Real Madrid and after the age of 30 if there is an offer from Arabia again never refuse.

Why did Nketiah’s move to Marseille collapsed? What is the reason why Marseille didn’t pay that money for Nketiah ?
However, we won't know why Marseille made that  decision. Could be economic or football reasons. Either way, I can't even blame Nketiah.

Some articles that I've read (most of them pointed to the same source) basically claims that Marseille feels that 30 million euro is just too much for him, which is why they will sign another player roughly at the same price. I guess their budget is just limited since they move quickly to find another target. I don't think we'll know much further than this. I wonder if other clubs will try to sign him on the next transfer windows, probably hoping for a cheaper transfer fee or even free transfer deal.

An agreement between the clubs was not reached. And yes, it seems like this is indeed a matter of costs that are too expensive. And Marseille have found the player they are targeting. And with this, the transfer was agreed to be canceled and Marseille have found a player they can reach more for, for example Elye Wahi from Lens.  And it seems that Nketiah is really disappointed with Marseille's failure to redeem him from Arsenal. But he still has the opportunity to leave Arsenal because it looks like there are other Premier League clubs that will be targeting him in the transfer market, for example Bournemouth, which currently needs a striker.

I think Saudi Arabia have a way to convince players to come over and it's from the tempting bids. This is crucially not suitable for the balance budget of the European football as it disrupts it. However, this huge offer is very tempting and Vinicius Junior is the next era of Ronaldo and Messi. He's also one of the best players over the past years, merely coming into limelight in Real Madrid jersey, under the appropriate management of Florentino Pérez and Carlo Ancelotti.

Ajax is interested in Aaron Ramsdale from Arsenal.
Arsenal for this reason is interest in a move for Joan Garcia0
Real Madrid will not allow to leave for the Saudi Pro League for AS, but imho this is a BS, the player as a release clause if anyone will pay it the play can leave the minute after the payment.
Al-Ittihad will keep Kante.

In the meantime, some journalists have confirmed the offer from the Saudis to Vini Jr. and that he will receive a total salary of 1 billion euros over the entire contract period. Sounds crazy and I too would have thought that there was nothing to the rumours, but apparently they are true. Despite the sum, Vini is not convinced and is having second thoughts. If the player agrees, I am sure that Real can also be convinced with an amount below the transfer fee agreed in the contract.

Yep. With the value of media content growing, Vinnie could easily make a billion as a top player in a top league (in Europe, that is) without having to go to Saudi Arabia. The offer from the Saudis is on one hand incredible in terms of the amount of money on offer, but also what Vinnie has to sacrifice, and obviously Vinnie will not go astray from the path he is following his idol (Ronaldo). First a bunch of titles and the Ballon d'Ors, and only at the end of his career, Saudi Arabia (if it is relevant by that time).

€60 million for two defenders? That's a hefty price tag; better not be for show.  These new men have to step up since Manchester United's defense has been more flimsy than a Jenga tower in a storm. Ten Hag currently has complete control, both positive and negative. It's his vision, but should things go south, it is all on him. Including fresh players (especially in defense) is like trying to replace tires on a moving car. Though dangerous, it can be done

The Fulham match? That is the first actual test. We glimpsed versus City, but consistency is essential. On paper, this squad seems good, but paper doesn't award medals. Can they gel? Are they still fit? Can they really live up to the excitement?

-Edited-

Todd is the main problem at Chelsea currently, he sees every players as a form of investment which is disappointing to me, the new management gives little to no concern to our Cobham players even after all the funds invested by the previous management. His management is discouraging the Cobham youngsters, maybe this was why he had issue with Poch.

The amount Chelsea did pay for some players as been alarming which somehow as been the reason so much pressure are on them to do well also.

While I so much hate Todd management and his questionable management system from really long  contract is often surprising how much these players do receive weekly which is a lot different from the past where a player receive, though this matter also on the stars they are going for and I guessed this would be the main problem getting Osimhen though Lukaku and Sterling currently earns more than him at Chelsea.

Another issue is from the fact that he continues to sign various teenagers and then loan them while we can see that those he signed like 2022/2023, is now open for sale while some worth more others definitely lost value these is another thing that is drawing FFP and in order not to face this problem they would have to sell some of the promising youngsters either from this or from the academy which will folk out some good fee.

I just hope if things will turn out worst it should happen now even if it's bankruptcy or relegation or FFP then maybe Todd would be kick out or at least become sensible to act in the right way of managing club.

Although I don't know much about  Noussair Mazraoui since he is not a first-team player in Bayern Munich I will assume that he is a good defender for him to be identified by Manchester United scouts. Getting the Moroccan and Matthijs de Ligt at such a price is very cheap. And both of them signed a long-term deal (four and five years). The ages of both players (Noussair Mazraoui, twenty-six, and Matthijs de Ligt, twenty-five) also depict that both players are at the peak of their football careers. I watched the community shield game between United and Manchester City and the former's defense was not that bad, but the introduction of these two players will make it more solid. The days when the Red Devils will depend on average defenders like Harry Maguire is finally over.

The problem comes back to injuries in the end. Yoro, who was brought expensive, had to accept that he had to be in the treatment room for about 3 months due to the injury he suffered during the pre-season match, which of course was a bit unfortunate even though he was one of the defenders who had been projected for the start of the season so that Manchester United could be stronger but he had to be absent for a long duration of time.

Fortunately, Manchester United moved quickly by bringing in the Bayern duo where De Ligt and Mazraoui they had managed to get from Bayern which at least it could patch up the gaps in the current Manchester United squad.
It is undeniable that there are still some reliable players like Lisandro Martinez for Manchester United but with the arrival of 3 new defenders then of course this is even better for them because some players like Shaw who are prone to injury and Maguire who sometimes makes me a little heartbeat because of his performance (although last season was not as extreme as before) I think it is a good thing that Ten Hag did because he realized that their defense was weak.

Yeah we all know how Rumours sometimes translate to been true but you see this particular one it is not materializing to any truth, Vinicius setting his eyes at the Balon D’OR something that he could win this year or maybe next so he wouldn’t want to leave just yet. Aside that Madrid have set a ridiculous amount of $1B as his release clause so that clubs cannot easily match it to take the player away from them.

After the back line is now resolved because the purchase of a defender has been completed, now Man United is eyeing Ivan Toney along with Chelsea because this team also wants him.

Hojlund is injured for a few weeks.
Rashford is linked with Arab Club, this is not certain.
So anticipate when there is a Rashford agreement with another team then Ivan Toney will be the next target, so far they have not dared to pay 60M for Ivan Toney.

Not that Manchester United do not need another striker to add to Zirkzee and Hojlund but their major responsibility or area of interest and emergency has to be the central midfield role which I think should be their next signing, they have highlighted many options with Urgate been their top priority but it seems that PSG just want way too much and if they Persist Manchester United should look else where like Sander Berge or even De Jong who Barcelona desperately want off their wage list

I can say this is one of the best signing of Man United in the current transfer window. Man United really needs better defenders, they sign the right players to strengthen their defense line. If Man United can keep the fitness of De Ligt and Mazraoui well in the whole season, I am very sure they will perform optimally. I just feel a bit worried with De Light because he often gets injury. However, I am optimistic Man United will perform better with the existence of these players in their lineup for the new season. Anyway, are you sure Man United only spend 60 million Euros for De Ligt and Mazraoui? Honestly, 60 million Euros is very cheap for 2 good defenders. De Ligt market value 65 million Euros and Mazraoui market value 30 million Euros. The price of these players ideally is around 95 million Euros. 

[asriloni]

It's official now; Juventus has terminated Wojciech Szczęsny's contract. He has one year left on his contract. But Juventus has decided not to keep him due to his name being excluded from Motta's list. It really saddens me to see that Wojciech Szczęsny is leaving Juventus, and it feels like we did him dirty.

Wojciech Szczęsny is such a gentleman. He agreed to end the contract for the club's good. It was his right to stay and earn a salary like others. Thank you for everything Tek!.

If Man United can keep the fitness of De Ligt and Mazraoui well in the whole season, I am very sure they will perform optimally. I just feel a bit worried with De Light because he often gets injury.

If the coach does not rotation the players and play them fully in every match then it is feared that it will be prone to injury.
Last season we saw Martinez who always had problems which affected their defense line because he was stuck with injuries.
That is why it is important to have good squad depth so that the manager can rotate players if needed.
Both names are good players that Manchester United bought, they have really overhauled the team now to compete.

The game in the Premier League is much tougher and maybe different from the competition in the Bundesliga or others so the coach must try to be careful when playing De Light to avoid injury.
