⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

i don't think PSG will give up on lamine yamal, they've got deep pockets and are always on the lookout for young talent. it's gonna be interesting to see how hansi flick's regime continues to shape barca's future. 16 assists in 33 matches is impressive for a young player, and that's what makes him so valuable

[Alpha Marine]

Barcelona and Yamal have a very emotional relationship that makes it very difficult for them to separate. PSG had offered Yamal a high price and was willing to give him a big salary, but Barcelona and Yamal firmly rejected it. Hansi Flick cool hand has given Barcelona a big advantage, not only Yamal who is increasingly improving his ability, several other players are also starting to get a regular place in the main team such as Cubarsi and Fermin Lopez. Barcelona future is getting brighter with quality young players and it reminds me of the past when La Masia players like Punyol, Xavi, Iniesta and Messi managed to win the Sixtuple.

None of those young boys in Barcelona will leave any time soon. They are the next chapter of that team and they know it. The club lets them know that they're important to the team and have long-term plans for them which is why you can see they all have release clauses of a billion euros
The reason Yamal has not signed a new deal is because he's not 18 yet. You can see that immediately after  Cubarsi turned 18, he was given a new contract. The law states that you can't give a player below 18 more than a 3-year contract.

The academy system of Barcelona is difference between them and other clubs that have gone through similar challenges. There are a few clubs like Ajax and Benfica that produce talent too but the difference is, that these clubs are not as big as Barcelona so when they produce world-class talents, the players would like to go to bigger clubs, while in the case of Barca, they're already in a top club so where else would they want to go?

If this news is true, that's gonna be big for City.

Pep is planning to get rid almost all of its players in the main squad. He has already kicked out Walker, and more to come. I only wonder why he doesn't include Ortega on the list. The fuck is wrong with him?

There will be overhaul to the Manchester City's squad. They have able to sell them all before the end of their contract, However, De Bruyne will leave for free.

Pep Guardiola already spent some huge amount amount of his budget in the winter window. Approximately $223 million dollars has been spend to sign Omar Marmoush, Abdukodir Khusanov, Nico Gonzalez and Vitor Reis. All of these players has been added to the team, but nothing happened. Like Pep's team is the same as the old one, they are showing a bad display. Real Madrid kicked them out of the UEFA Champions League and they are performing worse in the league title. Even if the team cannot maintain his bad performance until the last match, then maybe we could see Manchester City saying goodbye to UCL. Like Manchester City will be demoted in the Europa League. The rest is true that the signing of new players can be effective for Pep. But moreover, how many players will he sign?

I think 223 million euro spending by Pep Guardiola at January window transfer are big amount of fees transfer comparison how Manchester City still difficult keep quit well performance. Eliminated from Champion League playoff round after back to back losses at the first and second leg match become bad result for Mamchester City and its first bad achievement for Pep Guardiola failed bring his team to knock out round.
Manchester City bad performance not only in Champion League but also in domestic league, however new signing Omar Marmoush and Abdukodir Khusanov have performed well but still can't help Man City back to the top performance or reach higher standing in Premier League.

Guys, let's not get too harsh on Pep and Man City. They've made some decent signings but it's gonna take time for them to gel. Omar Marmoush and Abdukodir Khusanov are still building chemistry with the rest of the team. And let's not forget they just got knocked out of the Champions League, it's not like they're in a great place right now. What do you guys think about the rumored Griezmann to United move? Do you think it'll happen?

They would just continue with the same mistakes. What is the point of signing a striker who soon has his 34th birthday when in reality Manchester United needs to build a new team on many positions. I think this is not what the people want to see. Griezmann is at 8 goals in 25 games and I think that does not really qualify as a great achievement that would and should convince Manchester United. They need top players, but they are now stuck since they won't qualify for any big competition and that makes it incredibly hard to convince great players to sign a contract with Manchester United.

But beyond doubt Manchester United has to do something. They took too long to correct their path. They have tried with the same players again and again and they had some bad transfers like Anthony who I think cost around 100 million and he never justified that transfer amount.

If you check the table these days, Manchester United has 30 points after 26 games. Everyone doing the maths, this is so poor that they have an average of a little more than just 1 point per game. That is an awful statistic for a club that was once considered one of the biggest clubs in the world.

But I don't think they will find their way out of this situation anytime soon.

“No one can doubt how big of a Barça fan I am and how much I want to stay at this club… so YES, this renewal will happen” These was the exact system of Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal when he was responding to question from the media about his future.
This I think puts to bed any speculation suggesting that the Spain international was probably not going to sign a new contract at Barcelona. Barcelona fans will be very happy with this statement from the youngster as he's already made up his mind to commit his future to the club but on the contrary, defenders in the Spanish La Liga would not be happy that one of the major tormentor in the league will be extending his stay in the league. This is what loyalty is all about if you ask me

If I were Yamal, I would move to other team.

Barcelona is a team with financial difficulty now and they will have a problem in the future, there are many top teams that need striker, he might not move to Real Madrid since he might be put on the bench. But, teams in Premier League and Bundesliga needs Yamal.

Moving to Liverpool is the best decision since Salah will likely leave Liverpools soon.

Many of these players like Yamal still playing for Barcelona have natural love for the club, to some it is a life dream to play for Barcelona sl it makes it easy for them to make these decision to stay and continue not thinking of a bigger and better picture outside Barcelona. However I think it will also profit him if he considers a move elsewhere, a better pay and bigger dreams.

We all know that Barcelona wants its new superstar Yamal in Paris Saint-Germain. I think the 17-year-old superstar will play for Barcelona for a long time. He can be an important Barcelona name like Lionel Messi. Although he is 17 years old now, he is fighting very well and when he completes his development, I think he will be unstoppable. That is why it is very normal for Paris Saint-Germain to want him at a young age. However, Barcelona will not be willing to sell him.

Barcelona's thinking might change if PSG is able to pay a high price for the young star player because seeing Barcelona's financial condition which is still not resolved, sometimes they have to let go of one of their valuable players in order to help their finances a little, yes I know it might be very painful if Barcelona has to lose a potential player like Lamine Yamal but anyway I believe Hansi Flick has the ability to build young stars from La Masia, and PSG will certainly not give up on always making tempting offers to Barcelona.

No matter how "great" Antony may play, which I honestly believe he won't continue to do so for a long time. I still believe that we are not going to see him play "that" well. Plus, we could also realize that United doesn't want him, everyone knows that, he is on sale, and when a player is unwanted like that, he drops in value a lot.

A player, who would actually be worth 50 million, like that's what he is actually worth all agreed by the whole world, would suddenly be like 20-25 million at most if the team wants to get rid of him, at most 30 million. Antony doesn't look like a 50 million euro player right now, and even if he did, 35-40 for him would be too much when you consider United just wants to get rid of him.

I think Antony still has something in there, it is not just an assumption anymore. We have seen his performance with Real Betis, I’m confident that Anthony still has something good to offer despite struggling with United over the years. Every player have experienced decline in their career once or twice, what matters is how you manage the situation and work your way back and I think Anthony is doing just that.

Yes and he can be Barcelona legend in the future when he is able to survive and go through everything to the peak of his career, look at the many Barcelona legends who are still remembered until now and they are also truly appreciated players, Yamal can get all that when prioritizing his career over money and moreover Barcelona is also one of the strongest team in European football even though they have not been able to beat Real Madrid record in winning the UCL title.
Sooner or later we will definitely see new agreement in the contract extension between Yamal and Barcelona, ​​this is something that fans are really looking forward.

Barcelona and Yamal have a very emotional relationship that makes it very difficult for them to separate. PSG had offered Yamal a high price and was willing to give him a big salary, but Barcelona and Yamal firmly rejected it. Hansi Flick cool hand has given Barcelona a big advantage, not only Yamal who is increasingly improving his ability, several other players are also starting to get a regular place in the main team such as Cubarsi and Fermin Lopez. Barcelona future is getting brighter with quality young players and it reminds me of the past when La Masia players like Punyol, Xavi, Iniesta and Messi managed to win the Sixtuple.

Well, the rejection made when PSG made an offer for Yamal can also be an answer that Barcelona and Yamal will not be separated in the near future because if I not mistaken, when PSG made the offer it also coincided with Barcelona desire to bring in Nico Williams and also at the beginning it was seen that Barcelona was experiencing financial problems.
There is possibility that we will see new era like in the past when Barcelona was filled with some of the great players you mentioned, Hansi Flick knows better what is good for Barcelona development and he will not just let go of players who are considered to have great potential in the future.

Turkish fans are not happy concerning the limited time Arda Guler feature in Real Madrid games. The player is highly regarded in the Turkish national teams and deserve to play consistently. But the quality of players in Real Madrid had made the young star have limited slot in Spain. Real Madrid see Arda as one of the future stars of the club and will not be willing to let him leave even on loan. Carlo Ancelotti will continue to use him as substitute until he becomes mature to play consistently.

It’s sad to see such a young and vibrant talent waring off on the bench while he should be playing and showcasing his brilliance to the world. Too bad his parent club is yet to consider offers outside for a possible loan move to get playing time and develop his career, hopefully in the summer something will change.

There is nothing he can do before deciding to leave and moving to another club also does not determine his career can be better. I think what he needs to do is stay at Real Madrid and improve his individual skills to be better so that when given the opportunity he will develop further. Moreover Ancelotti also gave him the opportunity to play even though it was done during rotation but slowly he will get the opportunity because I am sure there are many players at Real Madrid who will get the opportunity when the time comes.

It's great to see that Feyenoord has faith in him and has entrusted him with the responsibility. Robin Van Persie had an illustrious playing career starting from Feyenoord, before making his mark at Arsenal and later Manchester United, RVP was one of the world's most lethal strikers in his day.

I hope he can bring the same level of excellence and leadership to Feyenoord. His deep understanding of the game and experience at the highest level could be the key to his success. It will be interesting to watch how he develops in his new role from player to manager.

While it's always fun to see a new manager rise up, and hopefully does well too, it's also quite important to remember that we are talking about someone who hasn't achieved anything anywhere yet, so it is likely that he may not do that great.

We have seen Kompany got the job at Bayern, without ever having success anywhere, and he did alright because it's Bayern, even we could do great at Bayern, how hard could it be with such squad, but when it comes to Feyenoord, it would be quit enough for RVP to get a great result, not going to win a title most probably, so it's going to be quite tough, at the end of the day we are going to see this have a lot better result, and we just need to make sure we can check his system out first, because what system he will play, will decide not just his career here, but probably his long term career too.

Approximately $223 million dollars has been spend to sign Omar Marmoush, Abdukodir Khusanov, Nico Gonzalez and Vitor Reis. All of these players has been added to the team, but nothing happened.

Even if the team cannot maintain his bad performance until the last match, then maybe we could see Manchester City saying goodbye to UCL. Like Manchester City will be demoted in the Europa League. The rest is true that the signing of new players can be effective for Pep. But moreover, how many players will he sign?

The actual fact is that you don't expect all these players that was just signed by Manchester city to hit the ground running, no, things doesn't works like that, some may hit the ground running, while some may not, and some might need a whole full season or a whole full preseason to acclimatize with their surroundings, so it's not all about signing the player, it is how long they can blend with the rest of other players that are already at the club, but I believe that for Manchester city to get back working, they must replace all the aging stars with fresh blood, and they the players need a full preseason together, so as to blend with each other and knows what is required from them during games, and I believe that this process will take time for Manchester city to get back to the level they are known for, it might be one or possibly two seasons, it all depends on how fast they're able to understand and blend with each others, but on the longer run, as long as pep guardiola is still the manager of the club, Manchester city will still rise again, that's what am quite confident on.

I think Guardiola will make the best transfers in the summer transfer season and build a new team. Manchester City is really showing a mediocre performance. The latest example was their elimination in the Champions League. They also lost to Liverpool in the Premier League. They are in fourth place in England and there is a possibility that they will lose their ranking. There is also a possibility that we could see a Champions League without Manchester City and this surprises me a lot.

Guardiola really needs to make some changes to his team, or else they'll probably have the same problems next season. One thing that's noticeable is that his recent signings haven't been as great as they used to be. For example, players like Doku, Savinho, and Grealish were expected to do really well, but they haven't quite lived up to the hype. The team's attack is also not as strong as it used to be, except for Haaland, who's been doing really well by scoring goals. Compared to previous seasons, when they had Mahrez and Sterling and others the team attack was better. Another issue is that some of the midfielders, like De Bruyne and Gundogan, are getting older and aren't playing as well as they used to. This, combined with some defensive weaknesses, is really hurting the team's performance.

They are being eliminated in the champions league at just the knockout stage which is very bad but what do I expect when they were going to against Real Madrid. Their overall performance is very poor and they need to improve at least by next season else Manchester City management might be thinking of replacing Guardiola.

Yamal was in Barcelona academy before he was brought in to join the big boys, because of his outstanding performance over the rest players. This shows that whatever qualities he possess was with the help of Barcelona academy, and I feel that he's grateful to the club for bringing him to the lime light. This might make Yamal feel the he owes the club a lot.

Triggering the sell clause of these talents will fetch more huge profits for Barcelona but the president and board are more focused on rebuilding the team. Barcelona are more favored with recruiting players from the academy, these players mingled with the big boys on the pitch and they mean business, always ready to deliver the club when it comes to challenges. Barcelona academy did a great job for bringing Lamine Yamal into the limelight. Lamine Yamal story emulates that of Leo Messi. We can remember vividly how Leo Messi blends in so well with the Barcelona first team, the exact same thing happening to Lamine Yamal. The player is forever grateful to be playing in Barcelona jersey, representing the club in the big stage is all that matters. He's not giving excuses for anything, always watching him been the very best gem that he is.

The Academy indeed have great role in shaping Yamal, but I think he has still so much to offer on this sports given his age.

one advantage of grooming an academy player to the standard of lamine yamal is that apart from the fact that they are talented, they play with a natural love for the club which makes them perform maximally above the usual way they should naturally perform if they are sold to a team they are yet to have a natural connect with. yamal loves barca and with his talent, it is a good one for the team as they hope to have a modern version of mission right back in the team.

 I guess, even after 5 years from now, we will see how he will be one of the star players in the world of football. This early, some are already eyeing him for the top contender in the future for Ballon d'Or. Because he already placed 8th in the 2024 rankings but already got the 2024 Kopa trophy.

the only thing that can potentially hinder yamal from eventually winning the balon d'or is if he has a major injury that keeps him out for seasons and draws him back in his performance. but i the has an injury free career, the balon d'or is certainly getting to him.

Karim Benzema never got a chance of playing consistently in Real Madrid until Cristiano Ronaldo left th club. He was also used as a backup striker until he had the opportunity when the Portuguese international moved to Juventus. Arda Güler's time will also come if he is patient enough and he is also playing games sometimes. The young Turkish player is also blessed to be under one of the best coaches in the world. He would learn so much from Carlo Ancelotti's experience and tactics.

Comparing players of that level is crazy, sorry if I tell you but how to compare Arda Güler to Karim Benzema or Cristiano Ronaldo, the boy still has a long way to go is young and serves a team that gives a lot of continuity, the fact that Ancelotti chose it says it is long on the value of this player, so the only thing to do is wait

That is great point about Karim Benzema career. It is interesting to see how things changed for him after Cristiano Ronaldo left Real Madrid. Benzema waited patiently and worked hard and eventually became very important player for club. Same thing will happen to Arda Güler if he stays patient and keeps trying. Playing for Carlo Ancelotti is great chance for him to learn from one of the best coaches in world. Ancelotti has a lot of experience and knows a lot about soccer and he will definitely help Güler become better player. It is exciting to think about how good Güler can become.
