⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Rengga Jati]

Actually, I prefer Joao Felix to stay at Barcelona rather than move to Chelsea and then move to Milan. Joao Felix had a good season with Barcelona, ​​but Barcelona was unable to make him permanent due to poor financial conditions. Now Joao Felix has joined Milan and is continuing his professional career, but now he is like an outcast.

His performance in Barcelona wasn't very satisfying. It was the main reason that Barcelona didn't try to sign him permanently. So, there was no chance to stay in Barcelona at that time. Unfortunately, Atletico Madrid didn't include him in the main lineup. In this situation, Chelsea offered him to join, so Felix has no other choice. However, it is a good decision to join AC Milan because AC Milan needs more potential attackers.

I don't know what is stopping many clubs from making him permanent and giving him lots of opportunities. Basically he is a good player with a good game, but he is difficult to find a club that really needs him. At Barcelona Felix made 41 appearances and recorded 10 goals and 4 assists, but the lack of opportunities at Chelsea may mean he has to leave.

The reason is only about the performance. As I said, his performance didn't satisfy the clubs, so they never signed him permanently. Anyway, 41 appearances with 10 goals and 4 assists aren't impressive stats. It is very clear that the clubs didn't see a big potential in Felix. But Felix is quite lucky that AC Milan wants to take him as a loan player.

At least Joao Felix has made some contributions to Barcelona and he is one of the players who is quite popular there, now he plays for AC Milan and that is his own desire, even there is desire to be able to really have permanent contract.
Atletico Madrid and Chelsea are not the main purpose for Joao Felix, and Barcelona financial problems that made him have to leave have also been well accepted, now the most important thing is that Joao Felix can help AC Milan to compete until the end of the season in an effort to improve the standings.

Nope, maybe it can happen if they want. Like if Barcelona sells some of their players, they can easily meet up the release clause of Jamal Musiala. Barcelona has so many players who have big market value, and their sell-off could be an option for Jamal Musiala, but I think it is not so important to sign Jamal Musiala in the current situation of Barcelona because they have so many good midfielders like Pedri, Gavi Fermin Lopez etc. These are the players who are making Barcelona super dominant this season and that's why Hansi Flick did not emphasize new signings at the club. So if Barcelona wanted, they would have sold Frenkie De Jong and F. Lopez and signed Jamal Musiala instead, but the Barcelona team is okay with the current squad. They are playing so well in the UEFA Champions League and also doing a super dominant performance in the league and are one point behind the league leaders.

The question is whether Barcelona can release some of the players they currently have to fulfill Jamal Musiala's release clause? On the other hand, the players they currently have are quite ideal and have been able to work well together for the team so releasing some of these players will make Barcelona's squad a little problematic. Barcelona does not need players in that position because they currently have a number of good players who play in that position and the need to recruit Jamal Musiala is not the only one that is so important to do. Barcelona only needs to strengthen the defense line because so far their performance is still quite good in the competition even though they experienced some setbacks in several previous matches and are now getting better.

For Nunez I don't find it strange if he does leave because for now Slot doesn't seem to prioritize this player especially after being given several opportunities in the end his performance is not different where he cannot lift his performance well as expected so it is possible he will leave.

But if indeed the end of the season in the end several players like Diaz and Nunez leave then indirectly Liverpool also still have to think about overhauling because for several other core players such as Salah, Van Dijk and TAA there is still no clarity about their future whose contracts will expire at the end of this season.

Several important players are slowly starting to plan to leave and not only Diaz and Nunez considering Mo Salah, TAA and Van Dijk will also definitely follow soon. If this is the pattern, Liverpool could experience a decline next season, Arne Slot is required not to lose stability. Well for this season Liverpool has a great chance of winning trophies in several competitions, but for next season it is quite worrying if all the players above really leave.

It is good to hear that Felix has found himself a team. A good one like Milan as well by the way. I think he will find much more time there unlike Chelsea.  

He has already started to be used in the starting lineup actually. Sérgio Conceição wanted him to be loaned himself in the end so you would expect that.

He is playing in his natural position from now on which is extra good. Because he is normally a SS but he has been used in so many different positions and expected to be useful.

Joäo Felix back in action really had a bad spell in Chelsea. However AC Milan may just be his turning point because he has earned the trust of manger Sergio Conceicao and has been given opportunity to be a starter. If he maintains his form and consistency he could play a crucial role in a Milan push for success in Italian Serie A and the Champions League…..proving why he was once considered as one of the brightest young talent in European football.

Am really not surprised that Joao Felix is doing very well at Ac Milan because he is just an exceptional talent that needs to be worked on, at atletico madrid he wasn't that fancies for a starting spot because he usually hold unto the ball more than necessary, and the type of football atletico madrid plays which is counter attacking, it's very unwise to hold unto a ball too much and that is the major reason he was left in the cold which eventually led to his departure.
As for his brief stay at Chelsea, what I heard was that his transfer was instigated by Todd boehly and co. not the choice of the manager, so it was as if he was imposed on Enzo mascara, that is why he wasn't that utilized till he has eventually leaves for Ac Milan.

Honestly, I believe that this will be his new home if ac Milan can make the deal permanent because he hasn't just add quality to this Ac Milan side but he has added flair in the attacking play of this Ac Milan team, so it definitely going to be a very good acquisition if Ac Milan can make this deal permanent.

Frenkie De Jong was a good player before, but he did not contribute much to Barcelona because he was often injured but strangely

Yeah.
It was considered a good players 5 years ago.
For that reason he got a huge salary an now is hard to sell.

Many players of that Ajax has failed and now they are average players.
I can think at least of them

DeJong, De Ligt and Onana.

Casemiro have competed in the biggest competitions in Europe and have won so many many of them and if you ask me, I think he's achieved everything he can achieve as a professional football already. It's time he understands that he can't continue playing for Manchester United and my reason of saying so is that I don't think his current fitness level and age will give him the opportunity of playing a vital role in the football pattern of Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim. If he gets a good offer from either of Galatasaray or Beşiktas, I think moving to the Turkish Super Lig wouldn't be a bad idea for the 32-year-old Brazilian midfielder.

He has experience in big European clubs and certainly has won many awards especially when he was at Real Madrid, it's just that at Man United he was unlucky because he came to this club when the club was in a slump so he couldn't meet his target to win the EPL title with the club, moreover he didn't have much playing time and even this season he sat on the bench a lot which shows that the Man United club no longer needs him so it's better to go to a club that still wants to use his services and of course he will get more playing minutes than at Man United.

[Litzki1990]

Asides from Rashford, Malacia, and Antony that's left Manchester on a loan Casemiro could be on his way out since clubs like Galatasaray and Besiktas who are still open for transfer are considering signing him, however news have it that a club from his country side, Flamengo are more serious about signing him and have already had an agreement with Manchester United but the deal was kept on hold because of the huge wage Casemiro earns at Manchester United, about £350k and Flamengo couldn't keep up with paying a huge part of the fee, however Manchester United have taken it upon themselves to pay the huge part of the wages so as to make a move to Flamingo a reality, this would be a good move for Casemiro since he'll be getting playing over there instead warming the bench at United till summer when his fate would be decided. Anyways, according to the news, Flamengo boss, Filipe Luis is really interested in Casemiro and can't wait for It to be finalised.

Casemiro have competed in the biggest competitions in Europe and have won so many many of them and if you ask me, I think he's achieved everything he can achieve as a professional football already.

If he gets a good offer from either of Galatasaray or Beşiktas, I think moving to the Turkish Super Lig wouldn't be a bad idea for the 32-year-old Brazilian midfielder.

Overall he's not that old and if possible he needs to go to the Saudi league if he can no longer sustain his current level of play and intensity, at least there he can make money. There are few people who fit into the MU game at all, not like Casemiro whose game doesn't look evenly matched, so I think leaving MU shouldn't be a problem at all

When Casemiro was at Real Madrid, I didn't see much of an injury problem for this player, but after the midfielder moved to Manchester United, he didn't play many games for Manchester United. A few matches into the season, he suffered a long-term injury that kept him sidelined for a long time. Recently, there are rumors that the midfielder may leave Manchester United and go to the Saudi League. Considering his age and performance, European clubs are still fine for him but if he goes to the Saudi league, maybe he can live a relaxed life there and he can earn a lot of money there. As the midfielder has made good fortunes in Europe, perhaps he will focus on earning money towards the end of his career. When the transfer window opens, there may be news that the Brazilian midfielder has left Manchester United and moved to one of the clubs in the Saudi League.

Joao Felix has great potentials in him and he is still very young which is an advantage for him to put his talent into work in Milan. I watched him play against Empoli and he did pretty good, he almost wanted to net the post on that day. Since the new coach so much believe in him, I hope Joao felix will be able to make him proud by adding positive impact to improve the team performance.

I saw a report hours ago that Barcelona are dreaming of signing Jamal Musiala in the summer. The Spanish giants who finished last season without a trophy have been struggling financially in recent years but claimed they're now financially strong again according to the club president but for a player like Jamal Musiala, I think his release clause will be too big for Barcelona to pay. Again, I don't think Musiala will want to leave a club like Bayern Munich who I think currently offers more chances of winning the UCL trophy than Barcelona to move to the Spanish club. Do you think this will be possible? Let read your thoughts

Barcelona are always dreaming and getting involved in every transfer window despite the restricting financial crises they are facing yet they still want to sign every player. The last incident with Dani Olmo is still not fixed and they are already being mentioned and linked with every player in the market. I really don’t understand what Barcelona are doing anymore.

Joao Felix entered very strongly in Milan, and I must say that he did it very well, I see him very determined and that he can make an excellent contribution to the team it is true that he is on loan until June but I heard in a recent interview that He would like to continue playing Milan even after the loan, which is a positive thing because it shows the player's trust towards Milan

It's not even surprising me to see Zlatan's explanation about Felix's deal. Chelsea knew they should have found a new club for him, then Milan come, which was a good news. They didn't waste opportunity to let Felix leave to get more minutes as he's rarely playing in the main squad.

From what i have seen on Felix's first two games, he feels so confident with his Conceição's football style. He can also fit to the his plan too.

It seems Felix is gonna be the next Kaka. I think the may have a plan make him permanent if keeps perform perfectly like that.

[SatoPrincess]

Finally! If the rumours turn out to be true though... Nunez doesn't deserve to be a part of Liverpool. He isn't useful for the team most of the time so what's the reason to keep him longer right?

I understand Arne Slot about Luis Diaz and Jota. Especially Luis Diaz has been horrible for a long time. He has 0 goal contribution since the beginning of this year... 

I don't know what's going on with him but I hope he recovers soon. He is normally one of the best players in the squad. He must just be having a bad time these days.

Before the end of 2024, Luiz Diaz was the player under the spotlight for Liverpool, scoring goals and assisting many to keep Liverpool top of the league table but Salah together with Cody Gakpo seem to have taken that position. In my opinion I think it is good to see other team members stepping up in this kind of situations when one key player is injured or not performing at best. The manager should be happy he has others stepping up for the time until Luiz gets back his spark.

[bitgolden]

Barcelona shouldn't aim at ANY player if you ask me, not even free agents at the moment, literally players with over 3+ million euro salary is too expensive for them at the moment. I understand that they want to keep fighting, and as we can see they are still close to the top even in this situation because they are trying their best, but they need to focus on rebuilding and paying their debts back first.

So if I was at the top of Barcelona, I would come out and tell the fans that we are going to have only a few years doing badly, will try to do our best, but won't make any transfers at all. Keep the players you have, and then if you lose any players, replace them with someone from the youth team, and keep doing that for a few years. That way, they could pay all their debts back, or at least most of their debts back. You can have under 21 year old players all from La Masia and Barcelona would still be top five at least, probably be top four and go to UCL, so it is not like they are missing much in that case.

In my opinion I think it is good to see other team members stepping up in this kind of situations when one key player is injured or not performing at best. The manager should be happy he has others stepping up for the time until Luiz gets back his spark.

Liverpool's main goalscorer remains Salah, who is having another great season, and Diaz is not really that consistent in scoring goals, but he is a very useful player for Liverpool's attack. Slot should worry not about attacking players, but about defenders, because if I understand correctly Van Dijk and Alexander-Arnold are still in doubt about extending their contract with Liverpool or not, and this could be a huge loss for the team if they decide to leave.

He is playing in his natural position from now on which is extra good. Because he is normally a SS but he has been used in so many different positions and expected to be useful.

Of course, Félix needs to find a team that lets him do what he does best. He played false nine one game, wide the next, and then came off the bench in the 85th minute. Chelsea was a circus. Milan? Not at all alike. You can already tell the change since they gave him a proper part. The player scored on his debut after only 84 minutes and 53 touches against Empoli. This is already having a bigger effect than his whole time at Chelsea

This is what Conceição knew he was getting. He didn't just loan Félix out to sit him down. And the guy needed a solid place to live, he's been moved around like a side quest in the transfer market. You can expect him to cook now that he's playing as a second scorer. This could be the best Félix we've seen since Benfica if Milan can get their attack together with Leão, Pulisic, and Giménez

I honestly can't understand how teams like Chelsea and Manchester United work. In Chelsea's case, they made a lot of signings, but they already had João Felix and other players, why didn't they sell some players first and then buy others? To make matters worse, the Chelsea coach doesn't put players who have been on the bench for a long time, like João Felix, in less important games. That's why I've been saying that Chelsea and Manchester United destroy players.

[tygeade]

With Barcelona current financial condition, we may consider their desire to recruit Musiala as a dream, but in the end we also have to admit that the dream could come true without us expecting it if we reflect on the previous recruitment of Dani Olmo, Musiala is still under contract with Munich for about 17 months and so far they have not found an agreement for a contract extension, Musiala has indeed become an important player at Munich and it will most likely be difficult for them to let him go, but the release clause which reportedly reaches 175 euros still looks realistic for other teams including Barcelona, especially since the release clause will reportedly decrease to 100 million euros if Musiala is in his last year at Munich.

Well the initial news states "Barcelona dreams of signing musiala", so it could be true, they are just dreaming about it lol. All jokes aside, you are 100% correct about their financial situation and how impossible it would be for them to get Musiala. They are already paying way too much salaries right now, and they are trying to get rid of some of them.

Most known is Frankie De Jong, they are paying 20+ million a year to him if I know correctly, and the situation is that he wants the same to stay, and if they don't give him the same (which they won't) then he could leave for free, in which case another team will pay him less, but he would be gone for free and Barcelona needs money by selling him if they have to. Seems like Musiala wouldn't be possible even if they wanted him.

It's time he understands that he can't continue playing for Manchester United and my reason of saying so is that I don't think his current fitness level and age will give him the opportunity of playing a vital role in the football pattern of Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim. If he gets a good offer from either of Galatasaray or Beşiktas, I think moving to the Turkish Super Lig wouldn't be a bad idea for the 32-year-old Brazilian midfielder.

rather than returning to the Brazilian League, I think the Turkish League is still good enough for Casemiro. His performance may not be at its peak, but if he is on the right team, he can definitely still play well.
The Turkish League also has quite good competition. he will not sink there and can still play for a place in the squad.
he will not fit in with Amorim at MU, choosing to leave and find a new team would be better for him. but who knows Casemiro's plans for his future?

Casemiro is currently 32 years old his contract with Manchester United is till end of 2026, but he fails to have any impact after his arrival at Old Trafford is surely have huge setback for him while his salary is too high for many clubs which are currently big problem. But as things are going and Amorim doing few transfers aggressively it's going to be had good impact on them in future because now it's time to change of strategy and offload many big names who fail to keep things on level.

Hopefully this transfer will be happened, and they will be able to give his best for end of this contract while going to back to Brazil is surely good for him because this will give him better option for improving his performance and keep things for having chance to his participation in coming world cup.

Actually, I prefer Joao Felix to stay at Barcelona rather than move to Chelsea and then move to Milan. Joao Felix had a good season with Barcelona, ​​but Barcelona was unable to make him permanent due to poor financial conditions. Now Joao Felix has joined Milan and is continuing his professional career, but now he is like an outcast.

I don't know what is stopping many clubs from making him permanent and giving him lots of opportunities. Basically he is a good player with a good game, but he is difficult to find a club that really needs him. At Barcelona Felix made 41 appearances and recorded 10 goals and 4 assists, but the lack of opportunities at Chelsea may mean he has to leave.

I was thinking that Barcelona would be sign him permanently, but unfortunately, due to poor financial asct Barcelona couldn't find any success in signing him permanently. And if I tell you something more about it that if Joao Felix stays at Barcelona definitely it will definitely blow for his career because Barcelona is a big club and players like Felix can easily get the chance to show off their talent and make their permanent position for X11.

No club signed Joa Felix permanently, and I think the reason for this was the price tag. Atletico Madrid demanded high value despite the value of Joa Felix not being as much as it was demanded, and in fact, this is the reason behind Joao Felix and Barcelona deal failure. But anyway now he is in a Milan jersey, and it a turn of Milan if he can maintain his consistent work and keep his feet to the group. Maybe it can bring up some good to his professional career.
