⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Sexylizzy2813]

Barcelona is a big team so anyone playing for Barcelona should be ready to deliver all their best because there are clubs that are not ordinary so it is expected that you be at your  best because of the history of the club so any player coming to play for Barcelona should be ready to face the pressure and criticism

You are correct but Barcelona is a team with a lot of debts on their plates and sometimes I wonder why players who knows the financial status of the club will still find their way to play for the club, they are good no doubt but they need cash to make the club complete if not a day would come where good players will start moving out because they don't want any pay cut, they are one of the best but this style of reducing a high wage player for the next two come in is not going to help in any way.

Winning UCL doesn't make PSG to stop from hunting a new player. They're now targeting Illia Zabarnyi as a new CB. They have sent their second offer, which is worth £55m while Bournemouth wanted £70m for him. No doubt they're being one of top candidate to defend their UCL title next season.
They never feel satisfied with their current squad, though it's best in europe. They still want more. That's amazing to see they always have guts to spend more and more money.

I admit PSG's backs only need additional player to add the depth to the its defense. Still hope they will able to lock Illia's signature from Bournemouth. I guess they may able to sign him if they send like £65m to the Bourne, which closer to the Illia's asking price.

PSG obviously are not cooling down even after winning a treble last season, they are boosting their squad even further to maintain this level they have been able to achieve which is a good way and standard to hold on to as a top side. I really don’t know Zabarnyi so well but to be splashed such an outrageous price there must be something special about this player to attract PSG. We will see how things unfold, I will keeping an eye on this transfer going forward.

They've been after him for ages, this isn't the first transfer window they've wanted him and now he's finally going to move to PSG.  I'm not surprised at all about the price, it's small money for PSG, moreover they have bought worse players or players who couldn't play, so it's too early to say he'll be a success, we'll have to see how he plays

Same was said when big players joined Real Madrid, which we know as a rival to Barcelona, Real Madrid couldn't withstand Barcelona last season, now they initiated another big signing, also expectations are getting high. The first thought of signing for either clubs is how to be able to withstand pressure from own fans and rival fans, sometimes players fail at first season, exactly what happened after Mbappe signed for Madrid. This season will be tough for both Barcelona and Real Madrid, last season was an easy one for Barcelona, depending on how many El Clasico , Madrid will win some while Barcelona will also have wins.

Barcelona won all of their El Clasico matches last season, which is an impressive record, and the rivalry between the two teams looks unbalanced. We know that because Madrid lost most of their defenders to injuries, but next season things will be very different. Madrid have strengthened their strength, they brought in two new defenders in the transfer window. Barcelona should also look to polish the depth of their squad, Hansi Flick also seems to still need to fix his team defense.

With the demands of winning trophies, both players and managers in the two clubs always under great pressure throughout the season. Players who fail to maintain their form will be dropped from the first team, and if the team loses a lot then the manager will be sacked. We have seen it happen many times, and that's just how it works.

I understood that initially there was a problem with which of the clubs will pay Fati's salary, and he has a huge 12 million. It is strange that Barcelona at one time decided to pay 12 million euros to a player who scored only 20 goals.
Apparently someone saw in him a new Messi, but instead Barcelona got a new Bojan Krkic.
Barcelona should be grateful to Monaco if they take Fati because it will help with the financial rules of la liga.

That Kid had a lot of potential though, but he got so unlucky something wrong went along the way and the biggest problem was the injuries. Maybe he would have turned out to be what Lamine Yamal is today.
There was also a lot of pressure piled up of him with the departure of Messi. People expected him to immediate fill the void left behind by the Barcelona Legend.

Kid,

Messi set standards that can only be measured by his standards. It sounds stupid, but how could anyone argue against it. He scored over 90 goals in one year. If someone else does it, there you go.

Messi was a player once in a lifetime. He scored like far more than one goal per game. Ronaldo couldn't do it in La Liga, or I think he did, but in the race for most important goals, Ronaldo loses.

I hope there will be a player to fill his place.

Where this Messi argument comes, not everyone will be matured enough to scroll pass. Messi was not alone in his generation. You can't mention Messi as if he only dominated and classified Ronaldo as failed.
If I may ask, does football end only in Laliga?
Apart from Laliga and Barcelona, does Messi have any astonishing records with any other clubs?
Why talk down on Ronaldo who conquered EPL, went to Laliga, met Messi and fought him squarely, left him there and went to Italy and set records. Please be considerate in your analysis.

It is true that Barcelona winning all their El Clasico matches last season made rivalry seem bit one sided especially since Real Madrid had many defenders out with injuries. But things should change next season because Real Madrid has signed two new defenders making their defense much stronger. Also Hansi Flick at Barcelona will need to improve his team's defense and make sure they have enough good players for all positions to keep winning. Both teams are always under pressure to win trophies players have to perform well or they will be benched and managers risk getting fired if team loses mostly. This constant pressure is what makes El Clasico and race for La Liga title so exciting to watch every season.

Darwin Nunez has given the green light to join Napoli as Conte wants a striker like him, will this happen?

Nunez is a good player but Liverpool want a lot of money for him. If Napoli is going to spend Osimhen's money in this way, it doesn't make much sense. Last season Nunez fell far short of expectations. He should have scored more goals and did more assists. Otherwise nobody will pay this kind of astronomical transfer fees. I think Napoli should move to a better striker candidate. If they want to go higher in the European cups, they should do that. If you spend so much money and you end up with a player who only scores 5-10 goals in 40 games, then he is not living up to expectations.

I think Napoli only tested the waters to see if it was possible to get Darwin Nunez. But it wouldn't be a senseless purchase for Napoli! Antonio Conte prefers to play with a double striker, as he did with Inter when he had Lautaro Martinez and Lukaku! He will want to replicate his strategy again and he will have seen Nunez as the ideal purchase

Yes, Conte wants him and he fits into his system. The signing of Nunez could be really good for Napoli. But as I said Liverpool want a very high transfer fee and Nunez's stats last season were not good enough. If he is bought and he doesn't score much, he will be crushed by the high transfer fee. History is full of examples of this. Is it worth the risk? I think that is the question that should be asked. Otherwise, I don't think anyone would say no to Nunez if he comes at a good price.

Cristiano Ronaldo is already 40 years old, he is not young anymore and I think he has many reasons for his decision and the most reasonable one is that he maintains his fitness to stay fit and maintained for his target of playing in the 2026 World Cup in a fit condition.

Well, I see that many people say that he's old, that he's finished , but did you see how he Retired Imaine Yamal? What's the point of being so young if you don't have Experience? CR7 is perhaps in better physical shape than him; he got injured and still scores goals I will always assume that age is just a number, and it's a given that he'll be in the World Cup leading Portugal.

Age is very influential, physically Cristiano Ronaldo is not like before, the proof is now Cristiano Ronaldo's playing minutes at the club and also in the Portuguese national team have decreased so indeed Cristiano Ronaldo's physicality has declined, only the experience that Cristiano Ronaldo has is very much needed by his teammates and that can change everything and have a big impact.
Cristiano Ronaldo will lead Portugal in the 2026 World Cup but I don't think CR7 will always get full playing minutes in every match.

MU seems not yet give up in signing Mbeumo. After their first offer rejected by brentford. They're coming back with bigger offer, which is worth more than £60m for Mbeumo. Their first offer was £45m + £10m adds on, which far less than their second big.
However, i'm still doubting them to secure Mbeumo's sign as their second offer is still below what Brentford wanted.

I only feel so weird they sign more players while they have not yet offload some of their players.

If Brentford says no for their second offer, they must go away. They can also use Semenyo (Bournemouth) as alternative choice over Mbeumo.

Cristiano Ronaldo is the best in the world that guy is a complete player am surprised you are writing him off at his age he still keep doing magic, Messi had all his career in Spain playing for Barcelona where he has xavi and Iniesta who assisted him to achieve all that you mentioned, meanwhile Cristiano Ronaldo has been in different league around the world break records and also set his own records, so it think we should stop comparing this two great players on who is better than the other they are great players.

I love what I'm seeing and to be honest I never expected more from the Red Devils, the thing is they want the best players to strengthen the squad which is true but they forget that they need to spend more to get the best since they have no Europe competition next season and the only way of getting these players is by using money to convince them but it seems they have thought of that, although the situation with the Red Devils in the transfer market these days is laughable because in as much as they act like they want the players they go for which we know they do, it will always have one outcome and that's to pause and turn their attention elsewhere.
It is best they go all out for him after all Mbeumo has all they want and he'll deliver, if you check the squad since the Red Devils wants to offload some players and should in case they don't get any new players who would be the ones to play with their mind that's if they couldn't get these players off the team? That's why it will be best for them to take the risk and get the Brentford man before Spurs slash every penny on the Cameroonian Mbeumo.

Ronaldo is a player that I don't expect to retire no matter how old he is. He still has a much higher performance than 30-year-olds, he will probably be able to play for another 2-3 years. Just being on the team will be very valuable as he will share his experiences.
Even if he only plays for 30 minutes, he will definitely score and make assists, if he doesn't want to quit football, I think we can watch him for a few more years. Like LeBron James, he is one of the most athletic sports people in the world

Last time I heard, Liverpool is asking around 50 million Pounds for him. I don't think it's that expensive considering the market situation right now. I think Nunez can contribute quite a lot, too, if we look at how he performed last season. He scored some critical goals for Liverpool, although he did miss a lot of chances. Who knows, maybe he can improve his game and confidence if he moves to another club. He already has experience in handling high pressure after his move from Benfica, although the result isn't that good for him. At the end of the day, he definitely needs a move that improves his confidence; this is probably one of them. CMIIW.

Mbeumo market value is 54.5 Million Euros, that's already a fair amount for Manchester United to spend for 55 Million Euros. He's not special, he has no trophy and he not playing in top national teams.

Manchester United are not wise with their expenditure, the way they spent 74 Million Euros for Cunha was ridiculous and now they want to repeat the same mistake.

His current market value is like 5 million euros. Monaco is taking another step after signing Pogba. 

Who next? Onana?

I think their purpose in this year to increase their popularity and followers, so they sign popular players who're not expensive.

[Velvet78]

Gyökeres is serious about leaving. He has burned his bridges. What do you think his next team will be? I'm still curious about what Arsenal is planning now.

I understood that initially there was a problem with which of the clubs will pay Fati's salary, and he has a huge 12 million. It is strange that Barcelona at one time decided to pay 12 million euros to a player who scored only 20 goals.
Apparently someone saw in him a new Messi, but instead Barcelona got a new Bojan Krkic.
Barcelona should be grateful to Monaco if they take Fati because it will help with the financial rules of la liga.

I have just done a check. Fati is even making more than that, 13.95 million euros a year.    This is insane! I didn't know his salary was this high. He is currently the 5th most earner in the squad.

Who next? Onana?

I think their purpose in this year to increase their popularity and followers, so they sign popular players who're not expensive.

Haha maybe Onana is next who knows.    Monaco really doesn't spend much money on a single player. We saw it on their signings of last season as well.

[Luzin]

Manchester United are not wise with their expenditure, the way they spent 74 Million Euros for Cunha was ridiculous and now they want to repeat the same mistake.

Hopefully they won't make the wrong transfer decision. Because I saw how their transfers starting with Ten Hag were pretty bad. I think Amorim has the task of building the team fundamentally. Collectivity, mentality, emotion, and willingness to fight for the team are missing. Buying new players seems good, but it will be useless if they don't have all the fundamental traits in football. Let's see how Man United are this season, they should be better.

To be honest. I rate those names are average or mid. There's nothing impressed from Mbeumo/Cunha stats after all.

But still applause them about how they seem more focus onto fix their poor performance at PL. They signing PL proven, and stop to gamble with player, which is non PL proven that comes from the nowhere. This pretty obvious how they're unwilling to take the risk again, and have to offload some in order to comply with PSR rules.
I know buying some mid names such as Cunha, and now Mbeumo seem not good, but they're doing it right. However, they're terrible in the football business by buying those mid names with very expensive price.
