⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Slow death]

I obviously supporting Real Madrid's plan to send their young lads to play in the premier league. I believe that will be a very good decision for those players. They can get new exp by playing at one of competitive league other than La Liga, also helped them so much to develop themselves.

They send two players as loan, and they got Dean Huijsen in return. It's a win win solution considering those players are playing at Bourne for several years only.

I hope madrid does it.

I highly doubt that the Real Madrid coach will accept this type of agreement. He has made it very clear several times that he would not loan these two players out. This is part of his work philosophy. He likes to do this to show new players that they should respect the players who came first in the positions where the new players play. Now, if the Real Madrid coach were to loan these two players out, then there would be no way he would follow his work philosophy.

[Africolo]

that's right, it's understandable that Arda Guler should request to be loaned to another club, so that his talent can develop better. There's almost no room for Arda Guler to become a key player in Real Madrid main squad, and Ancelotti can't offer many playing opportunities because there are still better rotation options. Serie A could be a suitable choice for Arda Guler, but if he wants a more difficult challenge, then the Premier League is the right choice. I hope he takes that opportunity next season.

Arda Güler is not given enough playing time in Real Madrid because of the heavy presence of potential players. Don't get it twisted, Arda Güler is rare gem but he's suppose to be sitting on the bench because there's absolutely everything to worry about when the presence of these players are trigger. Carlo Ancelotti often use the turkey international because he has other options, so Arda Güler is more like alternative for back up plan for the club. However Carlo Ancelotti used him in tonight's game where we see Real Madrid having a 3-2 comeback against Leganes.

Arda Güler thinking of a loan move? Well that's not necessary because from time to time, he will be representing Real Madrid on the pitch and we know how sensitive and equipped is Arda Güler with the ball, always sorting out his role effectively and either banging goals or giving assists.

Galatasaray are seriously interested in Granit Xhaka from Bayer Leverkusen. He still has 3.5 years contract but Galatasaray have huge budget for this transfer. They also want Maxim De Cuyper from Club Brugge for left back position.
It looks like they will get good money from sales of players this Summer. They want 35 million Euro for Barış Alper. Yunus Akgün also has 11 million Euro minimum fee release clause, so any team can activate this clause in the Summer. They may upgrade their transfer budget this way.

I really admire and like Galatasaray’s businesses in the transfer window. They have eyes for good players just how they were able to secure Victor Osimhen even though it was a loan deal but they identified him and made a move and actually made a deal possible. Granit Xhaka is a good choice if they can get him, however with his contract with Leverkusen still lengthy I doubt it will be an easy catch for Galatasaray.

[TelolettOm]

We know that Arda Güler complains that he doesn't get enough minutes. Especially in the Turkish press, there is a lot of news about this issue. I think he will leave Real Madrid at the end of the season.

Arda Guler is a talented player and he has high potential, but in Real Madrid, his competition is quite tough, Vini JR, Rodrygo, Bellingham, so he only becomes a reserve player. This is certainly a challenge and also pros and cons in his heart too. On the one hand he does need more minutes, but Ancelotti will not throw him as a starting if in a full team condition complete for a certain match. So, indeed if there will be a loan, it makes sense, only if Real Madrid really agrees.

Anyway Barcelona have verbally agreed to a new contract with their mainstay goalkeeper, Wojciech Szczęsny, now just waiting for the contract to be completed and done to be signed.

It's hard to be a starter when your competition is still in their prime. I think Trent or even Robertson needs time to replace Clyne and Moreno. Both of them have injury issues that affect their game time too iirc. Unless the same thing happens to Madrid, Guler won't get regular minutes.

A youngster like Yamal is an exception. I guess Arda Guler can try to do the same. Waiting patiently and when given the chance, makes a big impact that will encourage the fans to make noise in a match. It does feel terrible when you don't know when that time is coming though.

[JeffBrad12]

I also think Manchester United should not sign players with discipline problems. They spent a lot of money in the last three seasons and did not achieve success. That's why they changed the manager and they are still in a bad situation. Their only chance to improve next year is to build the ideal squad. Discipline is also necessary for the ideal squad. That's why I think players with no discipline should not be transferred to Manchester United.

If Manchester United has some sense, they won't sign him. However, you can't really predict what is in Manchester United's mind. Their talent recruiter sucks. They bought so many flops even when knew very well if those serie a strikers would not be doing well at their club.

[Accardo]

He could also join in a better club than MU, but it seems he feels so desperate playing at turkish league, and wanna leave asap. If i were him, i'd patiently waiting for more offers to come.  

Far from it, the Turkish leagues are thirsty on every side of owning Osimhen, by playing for Galatasaray he's brought more football trends to the division. However, the 26 year old striker appear curious on moving to Man U, for ignoring the red devil's failure to reach UCL. Should he perform better in the English league, his value will be all time high like stocks.

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

The transfer market feels lack of something if there's no Osimhen's rumor. He's now strongly linked to the Manchester United. He has been rumored agree to go there even when Manchester United has no UCL spot. This obviously a good news, and i hope he can join there asap.

He could also join in a better club than MU, but it seems he feels so desperate playing at turkish league, and wanna leave asap. If i were him, i'd patiently waiting for more offers to come. 

Manchester United have been monitoring Osimhen since the previous window but they failed to reach an agreement. If they can get him in the next window, it will be much better for Manchester United's front line because the strikers they have now do not show good quality at all so there is not much that can be done.

For Manchester United, a striker like Osimhen is quite needed and this would be a good transfer if they succeed. Rather than waiting and no club is willing to pay a lot, the decision to choose Manchester United is much better than staying in the Turkish League.

[X-ray]

Real Madrid has too many good players played in Arda's position, and makes him unable to compete. It's why i think let him leave as a loan is best decision. He gets a lot of advantage, and his club is also able in signing a new back to strengthen their squad.

I don't see negativity in this case. It's all good for his future, and he clearly must get more minutes in order to develop himself better. It's better rather than see him warmed bench, and has no use to the club.

Arda need to wait until the senior player gone and this might not happen in near future.

Unless there's a team want to buy out Rodrygo with an insane fees, there's no way for Real Madrid to sell Vinicius or Mbappe.

Premier League is the most competitive team too, if he play for Bournemouth, he will know the struggle to play in mediocre team, which could force him to improve. This also make him able to appreciate Real Madrid, since in Real Madrid all of the players are high quality.

The main question is how long? There's no guarantee if Madrid won't sign new player at his position in the future. That's why i think loaning him must be the best decision.

They have to go to the premier league, or their career will stuck. This is dilemma considering they leave from high tier club to play in the mid tier club, but as long as it's still remain at the competitive league. That's fine.

[coinlocket$]

What a story for Szczęsny.
I think I never seen a retired player coming back months after the retirement and extending his contract the following year.

He is still a great player, was a wrong move not extending the contract in his previous club?

Hard to say when he wanted to quit the game.

The best decision arda guler can make for himself and his development is for him to go out on loan to a team that is going to be playing him regularly for like two seasons,  and just as you have rightfully pointed out, he needs to come to a competitive league like the English premier league where the competition will be fierce, because it's going to aid his development faster, than going to a lower team in the Spanish laliga or a more inferior league.

So if he can stay out on loan for two seasons, and the club he went to plays him regularly, he is going to improve massively, and when he is back to this real Madrid team, he will be able to dislodge one of this top stars in this real Madrid team if only he is in a better form than them, so staying put at real Madrid and be hoping to get a chance is what he wouldn't be given for free, he must earn it, and the only way he will earn his place in this real Madrid team is by going out on loan for two years, when he is back after then, I believe that he will be mature enough to compete for a place with this too guys benching him right now.

So, indeed if there will be a loan, it makes sense, only if Real Madrid really agrees.

Since the beginning, there was indeed a way for Arda Guler to shine at his young age by choosing another club as a loan player. Because in my opinion it is not a bad choice to find and hone his abilities if in the end Ancelotti will not play him as a core player. Whether he realizes it or not, recently the rumor about Arda Guler was responded to by Ancelotti and the result was that Arda immediately entered Madrid starting line-up when hosting Leganes. We see healthy competition between Arda and Endrick and both are aware that even though they don't get enough playing time, Madrid big name makes these 2 young players worried because they are afraid of losing a lot of momentum.

Anyway Barcelona have verbally agreed to a new contract with their mainstay goalkeeper, Wojciech Szczęsny, now just waiting for the contract to be completed and done to be signed.

source: Barcelona WA channel

From a football retiree to becoming Barcelona's first choice goalkeeper. Wojciech Szczęsny's spell as a Barcelona goalkeeper have been nothing short of outstanding and I'm very happy that the club have decided to reward his hard work with a contract extension. Barcelona's first choice goalkeeper before Wojciech Szczęsny's arrival Ter Stegen is likely to return to full fitness before the start of next season but considering the brilliance of the Polish goalkeeper, Stegen will have to face a strong competition next season should Wojciech Szczęsny extend his contract beyond the current season

That is if Barcelona first choice injured goalkeeper start giving in a below pair performance upon arrival from his long term injury, because I am certain that no matter the form of szcezny, he will be dropped for stergen once he is fit. We all know that the goal keeping department is one position in the team that is punished right away once their is any mistake, and once the first choice is available, he will always be more preferable to start than the second choice, regardless of the form of the second choice goal keeper, so what am trying to say is that if stergen can be able to give even an average performance, szczesny will be relegated to the bench because the club recognize number one is available.

Anyway Barcelona have verbally agreed to a new contract with their mainstay goalkeeper, Wojciech Szczęsny, now just waiting for the contract to be completed and done to be signed.

Well this is not too surprising because for now keeping Szczęsny with all his experience and performance coupled with Ter Stegen who is still uncertain of his recovery, it is clearly a thing that must and is very good to do by Barcelona.

Although until now Szczęsny has sometimes still been a shadow for Inaki Pena who has always been given more trust but it cannot be denied that for now Szczęsny's presence in the squad will add strength that makes Barcelona a little more comfortable.

They have one of the goalkeepers with good reflexes and his experience in big clubs is also quite good plus a cheap salary so indeed Szczęsny should be a blessing for Barcelona at this time.
Now Barcelona just need to focus on other targets because I read some rumors that Barcelona are now starting to aggressively look for a winger.

[coinlocket$]

Bruno Fernandes is a for Real Madrid transfer target
Arsenal is near to Martin Zubimendi.
Manchester City wants Pedri but Barcelona will not sell him
Manchester City is also aiming for Hugo Larsson, they are asking at least £50m

Some small news from BBC

[hyudien]

What a story for Szczęsny.
I think I never seen a retired player coming back months after the retirement and extending his contract the following year.

He is still a great player, was a wrong move not extending the contract in his previous club?

Hard to say when he wanted to quit the game.

This story began when Barcelona lost Stregen and Szczęsny opened a new page, his performance with Barcelona was extraordinary, I did not expect that he was still very worthy of being the main goalkeeper with his current abilities even though he is no longer young, I remember when Szczęsny played against Benfica in the first leg of UCL he really amazed me.
I don't know why he didn't want to extend his contract at his old club, but what is clear is that now with Barcelona his chances of leading Barcelona to lift one or two trophies are very big.

[SatoPrincess]

Bukayo Saka's contract will end in the next two years and I hope the club will be wise enough to offer him a new deal before it enters the final twelve months. The importance of the English star became visible since he became injured.

There have been rumours of Arsenal signing new players when the transfer window opens but emphasis should also be placed on making quality old players to remain in the club. Keeping old players will be important for the team to be prepared for next season.

Bukayo Saka is one of the club’s most priced assets and this also means that he will attract interest from other top clubs but Saka is still at Arsenal because of the level of commitment he has with the club. Now that his contract is set to end in two years, Arsenal have to take smart measures to secure his signature for further years and fend off competitors whilst risk losing such a talent either to a rival club or another big club. Chelsea have been giving players very long contracts in this year, maybe Arsenal will do the same with Saka.

I hope Manchester United wouldn't make any mistakes that will cost them a lot when signing new players after the end of this season. Ten Hag was the coach that signed those average players into United qhen United isn't an average club. This is what has led to their poor performance and the position they are currently. World class young vibrant players should be the target

How long will he Keep waiting for the time to come. Or is he the patient dog that's hoping to eat the the fattest bones? Unless Madrid are going to have another coach who might favour him, only then can he have more playing time. Ancelotti don't trust him and he won't have much time to play as far as Ancelotti remains the coach of Real Madrid. Nobody would be hearing of Lamin Yamal if he's being kept on the bench. I pity young stars who are always going to Madrid at the early stage of their career. Madrid is a team that don't nurture young players. They are always going for the already made players. If Arda Guller had gone to Barcelona he wouldn't be in this condition right now. His management should discuss with Madrid and find a possible solution. That young Man needs more playing time, to continue his development.

Osimhen would ideally return to Europe as it is still very important to revive his reputation as a competent striker. If he does come from Man United and there is no other choice, then there is no harm in trying because the coach is no longer Erik Ten Hag. The treatment of the striker will be much clearer, Amorim must have done the same to Osihmen as he did to Gyokeres by placing him in his original position.
