⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[tiCeR]

This might be considered more by Robert Lewandowski when his contract with Barcelona is over even though there are many other things that are still very open to happen to him in the future. Because as you said that at this time Robert Lewandowski is still very much needed by the Barcelona team because he can still help more young players to develop in the Barcelona team. And the choice to go to the Saudi Arabian League is actually very good for him before he really hangs up his boots from the world of football.

Robert Lewandowski can give his best for Barcelona before his contract ends and now his job is to focus on finishing the season with some much better achievements. Barcelona will not let go of Robert Lewandowski before his contract ends because his contribution is still needed enough to help the team achieve something that is expected and his presence can also provide a better front line. Regarding the future after his contract ends, it can be considered later, whether he plays in the Saudi Arabian League or not before entering retirement in football.

Lewandowski's contract ends in the 2026 season and I think before that Barcelona can sell him to a Saudi Arabian club so that Barcelona can make a profit because if he waits for his contract to end he will become a free agent and Saudi Arabian clubs will compete for this player, yes even though Lewandowski is an important player for Barcelona but at the age of 37 Barcelona certainly needs new regeneration and the sale of Lewandowski can be used by Barcelona to recruit younger players.

You are making some interesting plans for Lewandowski, but it's strange that you know so much about Lewandowski's plans and preferences for his last path in his career. Lewandowski going to Saudi Arabia doesn't sound convincing as he is not the same person as Ronaldo. He would not be willing to get sold against his own plans for his future only because Barcelona can make some profit then. He is extremely fit physically and I think he might return to the Bundesliga or give it another year or two in a European top club accepting a role as a substitution player, a joker for the later game or maybe sometimes as a starter because he is still easily able to compete with the best strikers in the world.

He is not prone to injuries, he is leading the La Liga top scorer list ahead of Mbappe and Raphinha, he is scoring around one goal per 91 minutes. This is not the time for him to contemplate a 180° change in his career or even going to Saudi Arabia.

Newcastle will decrease Isaak's fees as long as they can't qualify for the UCL. I personally hope them not to qualify, then they can sell Isaak far below their asking price now. They're valuing him 150 million, but can decrease it to the 100 million or less as long as they get no spot to the UCL next season.

A lot of major clubs have been lining up to sign him. It also surprises me there is Barcelona who also patiently waiting for him, though i doubted them due their financial instability.

The value Newcastle are mentioning for Alexander Isak is just outrageous and insane but I am not so worried about the figures because I believe at the right time they will drop the numbers to a number within 75 to 95 million. If Newcastle don’t qualify for the Champions League at the end of the season so Isak will have no other option but to seek Champions League football elsewhere and have the figures for his signature reduced.

This is just a price tag and doesn't necessarily mean they will end up selling Alexander Isak at the price they kept him, the price can be reduced or not but depending on his worth and form, but what clubs really do consider before they make any player purchase is what that player can contribute to the progress of their football club, and if they think it's necessary and the player really worth the price ,then they would have no option than consider paying the price if the club insists.

That is possible situation. We know Lewandowski contract with Barcelona will end in 2026 so club might think about selling him to Saudi Arabian team before that. If they wait until his contract is over he will be free to join any team he wants and Saudi Arabian teams will probably try to outbid each other to sign him. This could mean Barcelona won't get as much money for him. Since Lewandowski is 37 years old it makes sense for Barcelona to focus on getting younger players. Selling Lewandowski could give Barcelona money they need to bring in new players and build stronger team for future.

If Newcastle don’t qualify for the Champions League at the end of the season so Isak will have no other option but to seek Champions League football elsewhere and have the figures for his signature reduced.

This has been pointed out by others before that Isak has a contract and once it becomes publicly known that top clubs are after him, the market value instantly increases due to clubs competing to sign him. They won't let Isak go for 75 million and you bring up a range that makes no sense in regards to your first sentence. You call 100 million outrageous and then you say that you think it will drop to a range of 75 to 95 million. That upper bound is essentially the number you call outrageous.

Given what the prices are that paid for players these days, is 100 million outrageous? There have been transfers that were so crazy that I think people got used to three figure transfer fees by now.

We can't really compared Isaak to the crazy transfer of Mbappe or someone else. Newcastle gives non sense fees just to ensure he was staying, and i see no other motive than it. So many clubs are keen in signing him, and that's the best way for Newcastle to keep him.

If things may not go so well for them, Isaak will leave. The only chance to buy out him is that when Newcastle did shit, and not qualify for the UCL. I hope he leaves from there cuz it's disappointing me to see a huge talent like him wasted on Newcastle.

I just went to look at the Premier League table to analyze and assess Newcastle's chances of qualifying for the Champions League and I think that the top three spots in the Premier League table currently is settled, and the fight will be for the 4th place which would be between Newcastle, Chelsea, Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth. Newcastle still has a chance, if they are able to manage not losing in their remaining fixtures starting against Nottingham Forest next and then the league leaders Liverpool.
A huge determinant of Newcastle qualifying is also based on the fitness of their Striker and his ability to keep scoring when the chances are created.

I don't see Newcastle having a chance to secure a UCL ticket like last season. Now the top 4 position looks tough because Manchester City will continue to maintain their position, while Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth will make more sense to fight for the 1 remaining ticket. Both of these teams deserve to enter the UCL more than Newcastle, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest struggles during the early season have given a lot of attention to the top teams.

Alexander Isak has been instrumental in Newcastle  performance this season, showcasing his clinical finishing and  overall attacking prowess. Many top clubs will be eager to sign him if he becomes available. Although Barcelona are reportedly monitoring Isak but I think a move to Barcelona seems unlikely due to financial constraints given his high transfer fee and wage demand.

Hey Guys I just found something exciting....  
Neymar wants to come again to Barcelona. He already expressed his opinion that he is willing to sign a pre-contract with the Blugrana. I mean he is ready to sign a pre contract with Barcelona But here is the  problem that Laporta has imposed some conditions on Neymar, if he fulfills these conditions, he definitely agrees to sign Neymar. Laporta's first condition is that Neymar will become a free agent. The second is that if he can show the world that Neymar is one of the greatest players and no more injuries. These are the terms that could get a deal done between Laporta and Neymar because these both have good secret relationship.

Apart from this, Barcelona boss Hansi Flick is not in favor of bringing Neymar, which means he does not want Neymar to be part of the current squad because Neymar cannot perform consistently due to his injuries. I think that's why Hansi Flick doesn't want Neymar to be part of his team.

What did you  think guyz that Neymar's ego will be beneficial for Barcelona or it will be a waste of time? Express your opinion

I also think that it is very important to consider Neymar’s work rate and injury problems before making a decision to resign him. The Neymar of today is obviously not the Neymar of old days Barcelona, so much has changed and if you ask me I would clearly suggest that they forget this Neymar saga and move on for good because bringing Neymar back will only bring more issues than solutions.

I don't know if this deal will pull through, Paul Pogba to Manchester United and they need fresh legs but this player haven't been in action or a long time

There is no chance in hell that Paul Pogba will join Manchester United for his third spell in the club, United are in a lot of trouble as a club and they need fresh legs, young players, not Paul Pogba. Don't get me wrong, i am not saying Pogba isn't talented, but he is past his best, he was unable to live up to his full potential and talent and i cannot see him joining a top club anymore, when Pogba returns to the field, it will prolly be in a less competitive league and a small club, maybe in Saudi Arabia.

It can happen that he'll join Manchester United because if you see a desperate club you'd know and Manchester United are one so they need anything or any body to add up to the team to give them life and they don't care if you're old or not all they want is helping them smile even if is for a month. I can't remember the last time in a month when Manchester United only had 2 lost games the rest are winning, so you won't blame them if they choose to offer Pogba a contract, for me it would be too bad for him to go back to his vomit, I mean his club that made a mess of him.

I don't blame you atall, to even think of Paul Pogba coming to Manchester United is an insult to Manchester united fans. We're looking for a player that can fit in to the club and revive the team from relegation zone. And you feel because Manchester United is desperate to get better is Paul of all players you think of. No doubt Paul Pogba is a talented midfielder but he second spell in Manchester United was not impressive that's why Manchester United sold him to Juventus. Manchester United is not looking for good midfielder we have classic midfielders. What's lacking in the team now is a striker and a good winger, the keeper is also a problem, so buying Paul pogba is just waste of money. Because he won't really make any change to the team.

A player like Paul pogba that has not been playing games for almost a year is someone that you think Manchester United should get to improve the team like how? How is that even reasonable, we have so many talented players to buy to get the team back to it glory not Paul pogba. Even Paul Pogba won't even think of signing for Manchester United, the pressure will be too much on him.

[SatoPrincess]

Lewandowski is leading the league in scoring, and leading UCL in scoring too if I remember right. That is a big reason to sign him back again and for more as well. I am not saying we are going to end up with bad results with Lewandowski when he gets older, there isn't really a situation that looks like he is getting worse with age so far.

If a player does this well, you sign him back, you only do not sign someone back if they start to do worse. One year deal is a good idea actually, allows them to see how he does next season, and if he keeps doing great then sign him again for one more year, and keep doing that until he is playing badly. Not many people actually does that, and this is the problem with agents, they want further deals for their players. But, Lewa is getting older, Barcelona can't offer him a 5+ year deal, that is not going to happen and we could probably see him play a few more season at this level, after that his age will be a problem.

Very impressive goal numbers for a 36 years old striker in a top league like the La Liga. Looking at Lewandowski and his career so far, he has proven against all odds that Barcelona didn’t make a mistake to sign him as their main striker. Lewandowski has 19 goals in the La Liga and 9 goals in the Champions League. Left to me I would offer him a further two years extension to continue at the club.

I guess it depends on the deal itself. If they can get him for a 6-month contract with low wages, that's probably better than signing another Antony. But yeah, I do agree that if improving the team is the goal signing Pogba as a priority makes no sense from a football perspective. Even if the board believes the club is just a money maker it's a terrible idea if they ignore fans' voices just to save some money. As always though, we don't know what's going on behind the scene so that's that.

Pogba will still do better than most of the guys in Manchester United currently. It all depends on what the manager wants and if the club will still want someone with such history with doping to be in their team. Apart from this, I don't think pogba is past the age of playing in top League and clubs. How old is he that he can't perform at top club again? Even older players like Mo. Salah, Virgil Van Dike and whole lots of them players in their 30s are still playing in the premier league. When he was playing for Manchester United they were not as bad as this. It was just some disagreement with the then manager of Manchester United that made him leave the club. For me the guy can still play in top clubs and league. Paul Pogba is not a finished player.

Erik Ten Hag possibly will return to train again because there was a rumour that he was linked to Eredivisie club Feyenoord as we all know recently Feyenoord has just sack their previous manager Brian Priscke so they immediatelly will find new manager as the replacement and behind his failure to coach Manchester United Erik Ten Hag has good reputation to train Eredivisie club and with Ajax Ten Hag can successfully can gets several trophies so probably if this rumour happend Ten Hag could being an the right manager of Feyenoord remains his experience in Eredivisie

Whether or not Erik Ten Hag will take over as Feyenoord coach is not yet certain but the Dutch club Feyenoord has appointed former player Pascal Bosschaart as interim coach on the eve of a Champions League playoff against AC Milan. However it will be really nice to see ETH return to managerial duty. We will see in coming weeks how this rumor will unfold.

One can mention great players that played in Europe without mentioning the Brazilian talent, Neymar da Silva Santos Jnr. He was brilliant and amazing, he was magnificent on the pitch, banging goals and humiliating oppositions with his high technical profile skills, at such he was the best. Neymar Jr was a prince in Barcelona who never became a King, he exited Camp Nou for Parc des Princes stadium and that was beginning of his trauma. He couldn't play a season without been sidelined for injuries, him and his styles was spectacular but made him unsafe in the eyes of oppositions. Today he is back playing for his boy club. While for Barcelona, they re not making any run to bring back Neymar Jr back to the team.

[bitgolden]

Nico would of course "prefer" to go to Barcelona, but at this point Barcelona is in a such dire situation that even if he was completely free, it is doubtful that they would be able to get him. Because he is not going to be free player, he would require signing bonus and salary, and we have seen what happened with Olmo. Dudes paid so much for him, and still ended up not playing him, which is proof that Barcelona is in a terrible financial situation. Same could very well happen for Nico Williams as well.

So at this point, Barcelona's situation is getting to a point where not only they can't chase players, but also even if players desire to go to Barcelona, they can't even afford getting them. If this deal is going to happen, we first need to see Barcelona sell some players, and get rid of some salaries, plus they need to register some of their sales and so forth as well, show some income, in order to be able to make this work overall.

Nico Williams has not hidden his intentions to move to Barcelona. Maybe his close relationship with Lamine Yamal is what is propelling him to move to Barca or the club is his dream club. Barca have not been able to fixed their financial problems and adding Nico Williams might make the matter more complicated. Selling some players will be a good means of balancing their books but seeking a new sponsor or owner could also be beneficial. If the current owners don't have the financial strength to keep the club in a good shape to bring needed players, they should consider selling it. Hansi Flick have been able to manage available players to get good results, but in a strong league like La Liga, top clubs always need new players to remain in good shape.

Rumors like this are highly unlikely to be true, I've heard many rumors in the past claiming that Neymar or Messi will return to Barcelona but so far none of those rumors have come true. Neymar's great performance for Barcelona is now the golden past for Neymar because he was injury free and we all know how terrible Neymar is when he is injury free. But now Neymar is an older player and his body has enough injury problems that Barcelona may not want to face financial losses by bringing him into the team this time. 

For the amount of money that Barcelona are willing to pay for Neymar at the moment, they will be able to sign a quality young footballer to their club. If Barcelona can bring a talented young player to their club then the deal will be a success as the young player can then be tailored to suit the needs of their team and sold for a high price. 
So at the moment, maybe Barcelona is not thinking about bringing Neymar

The talk about ETH to coach another club was not even relevant since he decided to extend his contract with Manchester United. He was not as active coach as Amorim took his place, but he's still under contract with Manchester United. Literally, he's still remain a part of Manchester United.

Having Pascal as interim is good enough, and they're potentially qualifying for the R16 of UCL. I think they will still keep him as interim as long as they can get draw or beat Milan in San Siro.

Nico Williams is a great player. But Athletic Bilbao is not able to use Nico Williams properly. Nico Williams has only scored 1 goal and made 4 assists in 20 matches. I would say Nico Williams has the ability to perform better.

I have seen the performance of Nico Wiliams-Yamal in the Spain squad. This pair is capable of playing great. And the chemistry between Nico Williams-Yamal is very good. So if Barcelona can add Nico Williams to the squad, then they will definitely benefit.

Barcelona is in financial crisis. Even then I would say barcelona has the ability to add Nico williams to the squad. Moreover, since Nico Williams also wants to play for Barca, it might be a little easier for barcelona to add Williams to the squad.
