⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Pokapoka124]

Florian Wirtz operation is really on! 

There are four teams said to be after him already according to BILD: Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Manchester City and Arsenal.

https://sportbild.bild.de/fussball/bayer-04-leverkusen/florian-wirtz-diese-klubs-haben-chancen-auf-einen-transfer-66fc03903fca14794a659a31

Bayern Munich and Arsenal are really covetous.    One of them has Musiala and the other one has Odegaard playing in Wirtz's position. If they sign another super talent like Wirtz it would be harder to make them satisfied at the same time. Oh, I was nearly forgetting about Real Madrid having Bellingham too. The same situation is available for them as well.

But I would understand if he goes to Manchester City. De Bruyne is old and injured now. We don't know when he will return and he is probable to leave next summer.

Florian Wirtz is one talented player every club will want to be on their team, the presence of these key players for each of these clubs doesn’t block the possibility of having an extra player in same position to give that extra edge and advantage incase of injuries or key players getting fatigued due to many matches they have to play this season. The extra player will be a backup even in situations where teams have too many fixtures it would help the manager’s job easier to rotate the squad.

Do y'all also envisaged a return back to Barcelona from Neymar Jr? Well, I do want to see him go back there truthfully. He was a great player for them but not wanting to be under the shadows of Lionel Messi finally saw him leaving Barcelona for Paris Saint Germany. Barcelona are reported to be linked with a return of their former star player when his current contract runs out at the end of the season.


Once isolated from the group but later got integrated back to train with the first team, he should do all he can to avoid another Injury so he can finally leave Chelsea for good at the end of the first half of the season. Agent Conor Gallagher should be working behind the scenes for Atletico Madrid already. Thoughts?!

Al Hilal can actually do without getting the involvement of the brazilian, they've the best competitive squad and leading ahead for top goals. Neymar Jr have completed football, he's entangled to be in elite club, a competitive one and he's been constantly injured. Does it matter if he returns back to Camp Nou or not? What matters is his happiness and comfort.

These football agents are doing a great job for their clients. Securing these bids for these players are not easy one but the best comes out. For the Chelsea back-line, Ben Chilwell. He was excluded but later called back, you know why? He's specifically a versatile player and very good with his footings on the ball. He just need more time to heal from his constant critical injuries. Let's see his contributions in the first team under the management of Enzo Maresca.

Regarding Neymar Jr's possible return to Barcelona, it's hard to predict. Like you mentioned, he left Barcelona mainly not to be under Lionel Messi's shadow. However, with Messi now at Paris Saint Germain, the dynamics would be different should he return. Also, a player's comfort and happiness are important and should be considered as well. He has indeed been plagued by injuries recently so that's another factor to take into account.
Chelsea situation involving Ben Chilwell, it's true that he's a valuable player. His versatility is indeed an asset, but consistent injuries can be a major hindrance. Under the guidance of Enzo Maresca, it would be interesting to see how he fits in once he fully recovers.

By the way Messi is now in MLS.
Personally I doubt that Neymar will return to Barcelona to help them after his contract ends with Al Hilal, because does Barcelona really want him back? I have not received any definite news about it, especially with the injury that is still a problem for him, it will definitely be a consideration for Barcelona, ​​because the risk will be very big.
Just imagine, now Barcelona still has problems with their finances, and when Neymar returns to them with the risk of injury then it will be another burden for them. Now Al Hilal with their stable finances complains because their players do not give them anything. Moreover, if Barcelona feels it, they will definitely be confused by it, so once again I doubt that Neymar will return to Barcelona.

Arsenal, Bayern Munich and Manchester City and Real Madrid are in a race for signing Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen next summer, the team wants 150€ mil for the sign, as they said few months ago.
Barcelona may go for Neymar again in summer as free agent.
Eddie Howe and Graham Potter are two favorite candidates for replacing Erik ten Hag if he leaves Manchester United.
Also a slim chance for Massimiliano Allegri sponsored by Sir Alex Ferguson.

About Florian Wirtz transfer i believe next season there will be a transfer saga for this player and compared to other teams who joining the race to gets him it says Real Madrid has high possibility to gets his signature this because Xabi Alonso has special connection with Real Madrid because he was rumoured as the replacement of Ancelotti so Xabi Alonso won't allowed Florian Wirtz moved to other teams and even Bayern Munich owner has been thinking this possibility because they says although Bayern Munich want to make Florian Wirtz as their priority for next summer but seems this transfer will be hard to be realized and they were very sure if Florian Wirtz is really moved from Leverkusen then Real Madrid will be the winner of this race

No, I don't. I don't want to see Neymar back at Barcelona. Even though he was Barca's legend, his football career is almost complete. There's no place for him there, and I don't want to see him rob Yamal's place.

Barcelona's fine with their current squad. They have great young and potential wingers. They won't bring in an old winger with very, very expensive wages to join the club again. It will only be a burden for them.

They were lucky to escape defeat in this match thanks to a goal scored by Harry Maguire in the 90th minute. Initially I was quite sure they would lose again after the last 10 minutes they were still behind and it was made worse by their players also having to receive red cards so they played with only 10 men, but the goal that the supporters were eagerly awaiting happened in the added minutes.
Right now they are not a team with a winning mentality like before, they are a team that is struggling to get out of difficult times. What is even stranger is that they still trust Erik Ten Hag, even though he has not been able to show anything that could be a hope.

Bruno Fernandez showed a bad leadership in the match and he was unable to be a counterweight to the existing problems. Initially I thought the match would be won by Manchester United but entering the second half I was more pessimistic because of many mistakes and opportunities missed. Luckily Harry Maguire equalized in additional time so that Manchester United were saved from defeat.

Manchester United players seemed to have no mentality, even though Porto was not a tough opponent at this time. Erik Ten Hak has not shown a big change this season for Manchester United and this will be very dangerous for his career and future if not able to evaluate.

Barcelona are interested in Neymar because they have financial problems. If they didn't have financial problems, they wouldn't be interested in a player with constant injury problems. Neymar is a good alternative for Barcelona. On the other hand, Barcelona are a good alternative for Neymar. He's 32 years old. And he is not in his prime. He is unlikely to get an offer from a better team than Barcelona. But if he transfers to Barcelona, I don't think he'll be able to create good memories. Maybe he will be an anchor player who comes in later in the game. I don't think he can do much more.

I marveled at the question "Do y'all envisage a return to Barcelona from Neymar?" Maybe he'll return to Barcelona to work with the club's management but definitely not as a player because at the moment, Neymar Jr's fitness level can't compete in the Spanish La Liga coupled with the fact that he's very prone to injuries so, I don't see that happening if he's to as a footballer.

Currently there are several rumors that do associate Barcelona with Neymar, reportedly Laporta wants to bring back Neymar who may be free to transfer next season and this step was taken of course with a lot of considerations that they think, from a commercial point of view, it is clear that the arrival of Neymar will increase their income in terms of sponsorship and jersey sales, but in terms of performance and game of course Barcelona cannot expect much from Neymar later,  Barcelona has a lot of problems right now and they really need the right solution to overcome these problems, but I think bringing in Neymar is not a good solution and alternative even though they may not need to buy him at a high price but Barcelona will have another burden in bearing his big salary, while Neymar, If he comes back to Barcelona of course he will be very respected there but with his age and current condition then his role may be different from before, I am quite sure if he will no longer be the main player who always appears from the beginning of the game, but he may be more of an experienced player who can make an impact from the bench later.

I agree with you cause I wonder what an injury  proned Neymar that's gained lots of weight and not in his prime would offer Barcelona, are they going to bench the current young players that are developing well for a player that's close to his retirement days I don't think so and I think Oluwa-btc could be right to say that he'll be back in the management team and not as a player. Imagine keeping a player like Rafinha on the bench for Neymar I don't think that's something Hansi Flick would even consider and I feel Barcelona would be adding more problems to their team due to Neymar's injury proned state, a player that's only featured for Al-Hilal only 5 times since he got to the Saudi League, he not currently the player he was when he played for Barcelona so bringing him back is a big risk and it's not something Barcelona's transfer team should consider, except he's coming back to the club as a part of the managers team.

With the recent streak of poor results, it looks like the news of Erik Ten Hag’s sack will be announced anytime. Last night’s result just adds up to list of poor results this season. I can’t believe Manchester United threw away a two goal lead in the first half against a tough opponent like Porto and it didn’t even take up to the second half for Porto to equalize but just before half time whistle, this is disappointing even for Manchester United. Van Nistelrooy has been rumored to be a potential replacement for Erik Ten Hag. Manchester United has gone through a series of managerial changes, can Van Nistelrooy be the change the club needs?

I think that Nistelrooy should be given a chance and let's see if he can bring changes to the club and improve the team's performance because to me, I think that we have seen the best of Ten Hag and there is nothing more that he can offer to improve the club's performance, otherwise, he would have done so especially this time that there is a lot of criticize on him. Some clubs were able to change their coaches and they are doing fine, so why don't Manchester United do the same.

If Wirtz wanted to go where would he choose the team? Or will he stay with Leverkusen?

Wirtz's future scenario:
Suppose he chooses Arsenal and this will be a priority as you said then when he is at Arsenal he will find it difficult to get trophies with the Gunners, even though this team is in top form they are still difficult to reach the top.

Maybe De Bruyne will stay one more season... Next summer there is a possibility of him leaving for Arabia.
Then Wirtz can get the position De Bruyne left behind.
Winning the Premier League trophy with Manchester City is still very possible for him.

I am sure that Wirtz with Arsenal could win some cups without a doubt. First of all, KDB is getting older, and there are some other players getting older at City too, and they won so much, eventually they will become better and better but first they need to get worse with the current squad and start to replace some players, maybe even Pep will leave, in that case things will change for Gunners and they will start to win some cups without a doubt, we are going to see them do very fine in the end. I know Arsenal hasn't won anything yet, but they may win now, this season, or if they don't and add Wirtz next season, then they may win next season.

Adding a superstar always makes teams better, and they are so close to city already, so having Wirtz may make it better. Plus, Wirtz would be making 20+ million a year for sure, Arsenal can afford that, and we are going to see him play for a team that is trying to with EPL, that is a good dream for any player.

Who has missed  Paul Pogba's absence from football action?

Well, Fabrizio has it that According to top journalist Tariq Panja, there are suggestions that “his four year doping ban has been drastically reduced on appeal”.

After already serving a year or so of his sanction, thier are speculation that he might be back in the next season. If this happens, it's going to be great having him back even though he's 31.

News monitoring when there is a possibility of Erik Ten Hag's dismissal then the radar list is Tuchel and Allegri this is according to some media sources, so Nistelrooy will have no chance for that maybe he will be an assistant.

It is rumored that the owner of Man United will be present at the match against Aston Villa if he loses there is still a possibility that the dismissal will be faster with the situation continuing to deteriorate and Erik Ten Hag cannot save the club anymore.

I think Tuchel will be the strongest candidate as his replacement.

It seems like it will just be a rumor that will not come true. Neymar used to be known as a star player with extraordinary talent. But unfortunately his current situation is not the same as before and everyone, even Barcelona fans, know how Neymar's current condition is that he can no longer be relied on. And if Neymar rejoins Barcelona, it will have a negative impact again because Barcelona has to pay the salary of a player who is often absent due to injury like Neymar.

Maybe in the match Juventus beat Leipzig dramatically with a score of 3-2. Center back Gleison Bremer suffered a serious injury. The match ended early for the Brazilian player in the 6th minute. I saw him fall to the ground in pain without colliding with anyone. The absence of Gleison Bremer until the end of the season will certainly greatly affect Juventus' strength. Other names that can play as central defenders at Juventus such as Pierre Kalulu, Federico Gatti, Danilo, or Juan Cabal cannot bring the same peace of mind as Gleison Bremer.

Sergio Ramos could be a lifesaver for Juventus right now. Although Ramos is on the other side of his career. But his experience and class are proven. These could be temporary solutions that Juventus can consider with the winter transfer window still nearly 3 months away. If Ramos joins Turin, Ramos will be playing in the third major European tournament of his career at the age of 38.

Anterior cruciate ligament injuries are said to heal in six to nine months, according to some medical reports. The Brazilian international will require surgery, and it is unclear when he will be back. Lucas Beraldo has already been called up by the Brazilian national team to take Gleison Bremer's place for the upcoming matches against Chile and Peru. Juventus will also need to find a replacement, and Juan Cabal, Federico Gatti, and Pierre Kalulu might be suitable choices.

In addition to Sergio Ramos, Juventus is also thinking about replacing the outstanding defender with Joel Matip, Simon Kjaer, and Konstantinos Manolas. Ramos may have experience, but he may be at a disadvantage due to his age and inaction. The legendary player from Real Madrid has declined offers from the US Major League and Saudi Arabia, stating his desire to go back to Europe.

Was going to post about Pobga but saw this post.

This is certainly good news for Paul Pogba who will be back on the pitch, starting to train early in the year with Juventus and his official match in March as Fabrizio said.

Previous news said Juventus would terminate the contract for not contributing anything including the drug scandal problem.

Pogba is still often injured.
Pogba will not play long at Juventus there is a possibility of being sold in the winter.
He is old, will not have great acrobatics anymore on the field, maybe he will go to a small team.

I also saw this today yeah. It really seems like pretty much official.

But the thing I don't get is, how?    Wasn't he punished for 4 years because of doping? Why has the verdict on him changed all of a sudden? I don't think this is fair if they are breaking the law.

But if this change is legal then no problem. Pogba is returning but I still doubt his future. He is already injury-prone, yeah. I don't think he can have a full season without injuries. Therefore I believe he won't be very beneficial for Juventus anyway.
