⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Velvet78]

Do you believe it? After they went with TAA, Davies, and now Kimmich?

I personally don't even beelieve any rumor linked to the Real Madrid. It's an old story when journalist keep writing shitty fake rumor, then spread it. It's enough to see i get fooled by TAA and Davies rumors.

No way i believe Kimmich will go there. At very least, not until he accepts Real Madrid's low wage offer.

I absolutely believe this rumor is fake even when it's reported by Romano.

Maybe you are right and Real Madrid isn't really interested. On the internet, there are always rumours going around for transfers.    But can you imagine them signing all of the trio? They would have an insane defense line! 




Rashford's future is still ambiguous... I'm curious about how he will end up like this. He can't find himself a place in the lineup because of being indisciplined and lazy work in training according to Amorim. 

If he doesn't get signed by any team in January then who knows maybe he will even finish the season without an appearance in the remaining part of the season. This would have a serious impact on his career in my opinion.

He's lost important people in his live last season, I never looked at it his own way until I had a close taste of what that does to your mental health, your everyday life. But he is a professional, he should know more about balancing,  I hope he harness the chance has since he is back into the squad. He should change his day to day life on and off the training pitch to earn his place back to the first team. I believe Ruben Amorim must have gotten feedbacks from past managers and ex players. He needs to show that he wants to fight and play for the badge more than showcase his selfish charade. I will take Nkuku on loan, he is a specail player, can he just stop being injured?

Rashford is finding it difficult to understand how to manage himself, if not who will want to relent on improving himself to win his place back in his team. January is coming to an end, and if no club shows up, Rashford can be given out for loan. At least, that will help him be in the game and improve his performance. Maybe, he will be better somewhere else than in United. Sancho is a good example.

World football journalist, Fabrizio Romano reported that Neymar agreed to return to his childhood club (Santos). A verbal agreement has been reached between all parties involved in the transfer, talks set to continue next week for a more formal opportunity. He has already said yes to moving to the club that made his name, if this transfer happens, maybe Neymar will end his career there.

That's some news I would actually appreciate because Neymar's best times have long been over and if he is now willing to give some support to the club that raised him, I think it is a great idea. Money is not an issue anymore for him as PSG and Saudi Arabia made him rich. This is why I like the idea to go back to the roots and play there. I don't think the league is weak and there is no competition going on, which means it remains to be seen what impact Neymar can eventually have for Santos.

But since there are still a couple of months to go until the summer transfer period, who knows what European club suddenly shows up and reaches out to his management and asks for a 1 year contract or something. I wouldn't rule that out just yet, but I think all the clubs in Europe by now know that it is a risk to sign him unless he would go there for a low salary.

To some degree I think he wasted his career. He shouldn't have left Barcelona as he had some great years there I think with Messi and Suarez back then. Great players all with great technique and the ability to bring attacks to an end either with dribblings, shots from anywhere or smart passing. It was a pleasure to watch them play.

Today, Anderson Talisca transfer news started to come fast. Talisca is expected to arrive in İstanbul tonight. He will sign a 1.5 year contract. Accordingly, Fenerbahçe will pay 6 million Euro this season and 12 million Euro next season. There are many different figures and special requests on the internet and social media, but we can't know what's in and what's out until the official contract is reported to KAP. We also know that some players have been given additional support under the table, independent of the official contract. Talisca is likely to cost a lot of money, but if his performance wins the championship, no one will question it.

[TelolettOm]

It was certainly a great expense for Al Hilal, however, I don't think they have penalized the managers of this club on an economic level, we always talk about billionaire people, personally I don't say that the choice of many players to go to those places to play, they will earn it is wrong. So much but then their international weight falls and nobody will want them anymore it is so for everyone and also for Neymar

Source: Neymar only made 3 appearances for Al Hilal

I was carried away by this tweet from someone, and it's true when you think about it, Neymar only played 3 matches in the Saudi Pro League with Al Hilal, and he got paid that much. At 32, not young anymore, with his physical condition not like before, prone to injury, he could have easily returned to another club. But well, finally the contract has been terminated and he will go to Santos.

[rahmad2nd]

Currently it is reported that the two parties are close to completing the agreement  and in the near time of course the transfer is likely to be realised, Al Hillal and Neymar have a contract agreement until the end of the season, so it can be said that he will lose a lot of money if he moves to Santos later and even with the decision to break his contract at Al Hilal, Neymar is expected to lose about $65 million in revenue, currently Al Hillal has officially no longer included him in the main squad for the rest of the season, so indeed his decision to return to Santos is certainly the right decision for him to be able to restore his performance in playing, if the transfer is realised, I think Santos will be the team where he starts and retirement from football later.

Well, it seems like this is the real news related to Neymar and Al Hilal. I had read in several newspapers a few weeks ago, that Al Hilal coach Jorge Jesus said it was difficult for Neymar to return to his performance after a long injury. and it is proven, now Fabrio Romano reports that Neymar to Santos is now on the verge of a verbal agreement being reached, just waiting for formal steps to formulate the final agreement with Al Hilal. maybe this is a good step for both parties, whether for Al Hilal or Neymar. but I'm not sure joining Santos will revive his performance to its original form, but at least Neymar's experience and skills can still help the team he will strengthen, namely Santos. by the way, of course Neymar will lose his income from Al Hilal, but the decision to separate for both parties is a fair step for both of them. Al Hilal without Neymar is still a strong team, while Neymar can still work in the world of football with Santos in the rest of his professional career in football.

It was expected (ending his career in this way) since in recent years Neymar has not lived up to the cost in terms of results. It would be interesting to know what his salary will be in Santos because after Saudi Arabia any local salary will seem like a trifle, but I think it’s not about money but about image.

In fact, none is even expecting City to be relegated. So many parties are now talking about what kind of sanction received by City other than to be relegated. Majority of media are now only expecting City to be fined and no more.

You can't really compare Everton and Leicester City to the Manchester City in this case. PL would treat City better than Everton or Leicester City. This is obvious.

If indeed the English league authorities can act fairly, of course it is not difficult to punish them with all the violations that exist, but it turns out that we do not see it happening and tend to see what happened to Everton as one of the injustices that the poor teams get right now, even if they continue to reason if they do not find strong evidence to punish Manchester City, but while we can see how coaches like Arteta, Mourinho and Klopp have insinuated what Manchester City have done so far, hoping they are relegated obviously very difficult to see the power of money as their main shield so far in deflecting every punishment that exists, and as you said, as long as Manchester City has a big financial power of course they will be safe even if they continue to make mistakes.

To be fair, City deserves a relegation sanction. However, PL may be thinking about disadvantage and advantages from this decision. We know how they is one of big club in PL, and have so many fans. This may become their consideration to lighten up their sanction.

Logically, if City will be relegated, Haaland would not agree with 9.5 years contract extension deal. He's agreed, which can be considered as a clue what kind of sanction to be received by City.

It should indeed be like that but in reality now we see the opposite happening, where Manchester City looks very safe and even this winter is not reluctant to spend a lot of money because their know that if they are indeed untouched by the financial regulations that have been in the English league so far, let's imagine if it is done by a weak team in terms of finances like Everton,  Nottingham Forest and also Aston Villa of course we will see them start to worry about any consequences that they receive later, the salary problem and the duration that Haaland receives clearly shows Haaland confidence in the current situation of Manchester City, but despite all that, I find it strange to see them suddenly offer Haaland a long-term contract and it is a record contract extension at Manchester City in my opinion.

Rashford is ok having a pay cut if it will unlock the situation of joining Barcelona.
For this reason Andreas Christensen will be free to leave the club.
Manchester United is interested in Nkuku future.
Napoli confirmed officially that the are interested in Garnanho and Adeyemi, he also confirmed that they are "short" in money,
United offered 30m€ for Dorgu to Lecce but they want 40.

Source BBC

Leece paid £200k for Dorgu just two years ago, and now they're turning down a €30m offer? This is foolish and greedy; that's a lot of money for someone who has done little for them. This is simply an extortion; they are aware that United typically pays exorbitant sums for their targets, and this is precisely what Leece is attempting to exploit. United should pull out and let Leece go fxk themselves.

Rashford is likely to go on loan; no one is willing to pay United's asking price, and the manager does not want him in the squad.

In about three games or more Rashford has not been selected to be amongst the starting 11, it's becoming disturbing as there were rumours of him probably moving from Manchester United by the January transfer window but so far he's yet to show any obvious deal or signing with another teams and he's been fewer appearances in the recent Manchester United game which as stated by the coach results from his inconsistency at training and some levels of negligence,  if he stays back and gets no play time, he's career may be at danger as he will be loosing form and potential.

If Kimmich goes to Madrid, it means that the rumors about Trent will be finished because indeed the most inclined position for Kimmich is currently a right-back so that when he joins Madrid, speculation about Trent for next season may not be well realized by Madrid.

But it cannot be denied that Kimmich is also still quite good but when it is said that now he is approaching Madrid does it also mean that Arsenal are starting to give up on bringing this player because if I am not mistaken there have been rumors before that Kimmich will go to Arsenal.

The situation is always confusing when rumors sometimes always arrive but in the end for now the winter transfer is finally almost over and no surprises have occurred until now even though if we look at the deadline now the transfer will actually end in approximately one week.

I think any rumors about linking any RB players to the Real Madrid is totally fake. I'd rather believe Kimmich to go to the club other than Real Madrid. Some clubs have interest in sign him as a new player. This makes sense instead of always talkin' about Madrid without concrete talk.

City and Liverpool are sense choices.

But everything will be sustainable especially when saying rumors that Liverpool also expects Kimmich then indirectly the domino effect will also be felt where Madrid will again be discussed because it can also be a sign that in the end for the position of right-back at Liverpool is definitely TAA leaving so they are looking for alternatives in the end.

Everything will come back to Madrid again regardless of whether in the end this rumor will be true or not because indeed looking at the time now the situation is actually almost over where the player transfer is only a few days away so indeed this will remain a complicated condition in the end.
Madrid are still looking for alternatives to Carvajal although there are still several players who can be played but for the position that suits only Vazquez for the position so it is quite natural when they need players in the same position when there are several players who will indeed end their contracts for the defense, they will continue to be one of the biggest places or rumors.

[Slow death]

Fenerbahce made an excellent signing, they signed Anderson Talisca, since Ronaldo came to Al Nassr, he started to take Anderson Talisca's space, the focus of the whole team became Ronaldo, I think Anderson Talisca made a good decision to leave the team, maybe by playing in Turkey and having good results he could be called to play in the Brazilian national team.



the contract will be until 2026, source: https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1883760600028766345

Agreement reached between Neymar and Santos. He's gonna back to his country. After he successfully robbed Saudi club, then moves back to his country.

Some said Saudi kicked him out, but i though he has no use to his club. His injury is the main problem he decides to go back to the Santos.

I only wonder how much Saudi paid to terminate his contract. If they paid him 63 million, they're so dumb as F.

No more chance to do reunion with Messi.

How did he robbed Sauidi? There is no way a club will sign a player without going through medical report and seeing the kind of person he is, they obviously know his conditions before he got there. Al Hilal was interested in not just him alone, Neymar is a star and internationally recognized super star and that was the fame they were looking for and he gave them the publicity they wanted beside he has always been the money guy that's why he left Barcelona.

This same Santos he is going back to isn't other than the fame they are looking for because no serious club will want to have anything to do with a guy that literally break his leg after one or two matches, it's a burden financially and medically to the club because the responsibility of his expensive care will be on the club and not him. I never even know about Santos until I saw the news of his move, going back to his early club and this is what they want, publicity.

I don't know how authentic this report is but is truly what's contained in it is as genuine as it's reported, I think the Brazilian is just going back from where he started to show his appreciation for all the love and support he received from the club management and fans during his stay there as well as when he left the club to go pursue his football career abroad. Neymar Jr return to Santos I don't think will have any significant effect on the team and my reason of saying that is simply because he's not that fit to perform at the top of his game anymore. It's more of a ceremonial return to his club boyhood club than a return to come help the club win trophies again.

Currently it is reported that the two parties are close to completing the agreement  and in the near time of course the transfer is likely to be realised, Al Hillal and Neymar have a contract agreement until the end of the season, so it can be said that he will lose a lot of money if he moves to Santos later and even with the decision to break his contract at Al Hilal, Neymar is expected to lose about $65 million in revenue, currently Al Hillal has officially no longer included him in the main squad for the rest of the season, so indeed his decision to return to Santos is certainly the right decision for him to be able to restore his performance in playing, if the transfer is realised, I think Santos will be the team where he starts and retirement from football later.

If he can recover that would be great, but so far it seems that he doesn't want to play football anymore and it's nothing more than a money making endeavour for him. And with this approach, as we know, nothing good usually happens, that's all. It will probably be his last club in his career and he will not play there for more than two seasons.

Minutes ago, I read a report from a very reliable source that Al Nassr have opened talks to sign Nigeria striker Victor Boniface from his German club Bayern Munich it was reported that the Saudi club is trying to sign a perfect replacement for their former striker Anderson Talisca.
Though the financial offer wasn't disclosed but since it's coming from a Saudi club for a player of Victor Boniface quality and age, I believe it'll definitely be a tempting and offer and I don't expect the Nigerian to turn it down. I think it'll be a dream come true for Boniface to play alongside Cristiano Ronaldo as his teammate. What do you make of this report? Let me read your thoughts

[Velvet78]

L'Équipe claims that Juventus is thinking of replacing Motta with Xavi. Do you believe the rumour? 

Honestly I don't. At least I don't want to. Because it is too early to make such change. I don't think this is the same situation with the sacking of Nuri Şahin by Dortmund. The reason is that Dortmund had a really decent squad to do much more than being a middle-placed team in the standings.

However Juventus lack the strength for being a title contender with this squad. I have said many times. A great defense but poor offense. A better AM and CF would make serious difference. Motta should be given budget and then see what he will do later on.

[SatoPrincess]

But he is changing the main topic though.    Manchester City is dealing with a big case of 130+ breaches or so as far as I can remember. While they are in such situation normally they shouldn't take bigger risks like this.

Why don't they care about that you think? Because overspending in such situations could be even more dangerous for their fate after this case. Maybe there is something they believe in and feel confident about...

This makes me think that nothing heavier will happen to them than being punished to pay some money. We have discussed even their relegation probability but I don't think so honestly.

So many medias have been talking bout this since City decided extending Haaland's contract for almost 1 decade. I guess City won't get a serious sanction from breaching financial rules more than a hundred of times.

That's why Guardiola feels so confidence in rebuilding his club. The result can be guessed so easily from seeing any of City's decision.

They may be fined only, and i'm sure nothing happen with them.

From the position I see Manchester City they seem to have to stepped in as the new Manchester United of Sir Ferguson’s era with finances and influence. Being able to influence the game to their favor just as United flexed during Sir Ferguson’s time. In my opinion I think City will find a way around this petitions and in the end will just have to pay a fine and that will close the case.

Yeah, finally Juventus has some sense to kick Motta out of the club. He's dumb as a coach. Replacing him with Xavi is excellent decision.

If they successfully sign Xavi as a new coach, they complete their first task to fix their club. The second task must be selling a lot of their dumb players such as Vlahovic and Douglas. Those guys are disaster and worthy to cash in.

And with this approach, as we know, nothing good usually happens, that's all. It will probably be his last club in his career and he will not play there for more than two seasons.

It would certainly be great if Neymar could fully recover, considering that many people still hope he can play in the upcoming 2026 World Cup. In my opinion, there could be many reasons behind Neymar return to Santos, perhaps because Neymar wants to be closer to his family, in addition to the injury that has prevented him from playing for Al Hilal until now. So far, there has been no official news stating that the two clubs have reached an agreement, what is clear is that Neymar must be willing to take a pay cut if he does leave Al Hilal. With his physically injury prone condition, there is a possibility that Santos will be the last club in his football career.
