⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

Chelsea is still not giving up on Jamie Gittens. Another player they couldn't see his future... He was in Chelsea Youth more than 10 years ago.

Dortmund signed him for free later on and now his market value is 50 million. Who knows how much they want for him from Chelsea now.

Jamie Gittens is one young talent I admire and would have loved my club to sign but Chelsea are in best position to sign him at the moment. His price happen to be around £55 million and Chelsea are said to be willing to meet the valuation but still face competition with clubs like Bayern Munich for his signature.

Ruud van Nistelrooy has been sacked as Leicester city head coach. Though the news claims this sack was based on mutual agreement. I on the other hand strongly believe that Ruud van Nistelrooy sack is coming as a result of his incapable ability of the former Manchester United legend from saving the club from relegating to the championship division. As for now a new head coach has not been appointed yet.

Rescuing Leicester City when it was left in the doldrums cannot be entirely attributed to Nistelrooy's incompetence because he came in and was given a huge burden.
It's rare that a coach is able to save a team in such conditions. As I recall, only AS Roma was able to do so by Ranieri who was left behind by Juric.

Nistelrooy came to Leicester from Manchester United and was previously with PSV. Leicester City are a great team and Nistelrooy has tried to do his best.

He knew what's at stake and what was required of him to deliver before taking up the job. As a manager of Leicester city he had 27 matches managed under him as head coach, that was enough to take the club out of relegation zone because he got in when the club was already having 10 points with just about 12 games played. No excuse for Ruud incompetency.

Galatasaray want to recruit Morata because Icardi was injured, although Icardi is still injured, he's expected will be available for upcoming season. Morata will not get chance to play because he's the third striker. Moving to Como is a good decision, he can still play in Serie A and Como might enter to international league in the next season.

Despite having strong interest from Galatasaray and his loan contract with them is also till January 2026 Álvaro Morata is all set for joining Fàbregas at Como before start of new season because his family is also happy for staying into Italy they are not comfortable at Istanbul. Como is doing amazing work for next season as they are having few top players those can turn tables for them, and they are surely had good chance of having UEFA competitions chance in near future.

Manchester United is always awful in spending money once again after their first offers rejected by Brentford now they are heading for Mbeumo to bring at Old Trafford on demanded price of Brentford €70 Million even player personally want to join Tottenham but now it doesn't matter to his club while they are having huge amount coming.

Morata is a good footballer, but he has had so few chances to play that it is normal that he wants to leave the team. I also understand that he would like the idea of living in Italy with his family more, there is no need to get old in a team where you can't play.
He still has the ability to play for many European clubs but he has only played 16 games this season. Despite that he has a very good statistic with 7 goals, I wish he had more playing time

If not for him to take Leicester City out of the mess of relegation zone what else was Ruud van Nistelrooy employed as a manager to do? I mean the Leicester City team was already going through difficulties before his arrival he was expected to change things in the team and give them a better motivation that will see them get out of the relegation but he couldn't do anything rather Leicester City couldn't win up to 10 matches in the 27 games he handled as a manager.

Ruud van Nistelrooy should not be defended he couldn't live up to expectation in the team and I expected him to have taken a bow even before the end up the season because he was not feet for the job.

[SatoPrincess]

I have to say i am far from impressed with Arsenal's transfer business thus far, first they lose such an important player like Thomas Partey on a free transfer, and then they go on to replace him with Christian Nordgaard, and then they signed Kepa, i cannot quite understand what their goal is for next season.

The only impressive signing from them thus far is that of Zubimendi, and i know he will improve this Arsenal side, but they have to go out there and get more quality players if they want to compete with Liverrpool and City for the EPL title next season.

Most of the times we as fans fail to view these transfer dealings from the point of view of the club. Understand that before a club decides to let a player go, there must be crucial factors considered before arriving at such decisions. Thomas Partey has been a crucial player for the club and I think he understands that and should have considered that when negotiating with the club, rumors say he wanted a wage raise at age 32 and with just a year or two to extend.

[Agbamoni]

The only thing fans should care about right now is how the Monaco team will improve after signing some new players they should stop complaining about the age of Paul Pogba since they have watched him for years before he had the issues that kept him away from active football. Ronaldo is 42 years and still very active while Paul Pogba is 32 years old he still has up to 4- 5 years to play before retiring from football and being at home doing his training for some time now I believe having this opportunity to play again he will be motivated to give his best and make his fans and the new club happy.

Did Monaco signed more payers?
If yes that is good, they managed to finish 3rd in the French League, If they want to win the league then they need someone like him too. PSG is the winner of the league for many seasons now, its not their birth right, Monaco and other clubs needs to step up.

[Lida93]

As far as I know, Morata has signed with Como. Morata needs to resolve his contract with Galatasaray.
My personal opinion is that Morata is not a player who can be useful to Galatasaray anyway.
After Icardi and Osimhen, what Morata would do would not satisfy Galatasaray fans.
Maybe Morata saw this situation and left. Because this year Galatasaray wants to be successful especially in the Champions League and this is not possible with Morata.
I think it is good that he left.

Galatasaray want to recruit Morata because Icardi was injured, although Icardi is still injured, he's expected will be available for upcoming season. Morata will not get chance to play because he's the third striker. Moving to Como is a good decision, he can still play in Serie A and Como might enter to international league in the next season.

I think the reason for the delay of Mbeumo's move to Manchester United is the player's indecisiveness and unwillingness to push for a deal with Manchester United because if the player had shown any sign of willingness to move to Manchester United then Brentford would have been on the negotiating table discussing terms with Manchester United but it seems the Cameroonian player isn't eager to make that big move just yet .

Paul Pogba to AS Monaco deal sealed.
After the appeal to the court the four years ban was shifted to 18 months and now its over. His agent must be a professional one for quickly pushing a move to Monaco for the talented player.

A big welcome Pogback!

Here is a worm welcome to Pogba by signing the contract with Monaco. He nearly ended up his career by taking up the dope ban, but thank God he finally came back to the field. I think Pogba will learn a lesson from his mistakes and will never do such kinds of mistakes again because his regret is clearly seen in his eyes. Now he has officially become the player of Monaco, and I think he will be enjoying the rest of his career on the ground, not in jail 😁.

Moreover, now now Pogba has been released from the restrictions, but now the question is whether Pogba will be able to perform like before or not. Will he become a great Pogba again or not? I think Pogba will not be able to become that great now but he will definitely become an average Pogba. What do you guys think...

Looking at the rumors right now, it seems to me that a player from the Saudi Pro League is very open to joining the Turkish Super League. In fact the player is about to join Fenerbahce Football Club and has even already held talks with the manager of that club in the Turkish League. If Jhon Duran has indeed discussed this matter with Jose Mourinho and Devin ozek, then we can say that perhaps this agreement between them will be completed and this player will be transferred to Turkey. Jhon Duran was associated with Cristiano Ronaldo's club in the Saudi Pro League and performed very well there, even performing well with the Portuguese player.

He has only been in Al-Nassr for one season, even if the calculations are not wrong, he has only been in Al-Nassr for half a season, but it seems that he does not want to stay in this club for long, so this could be an opportunity for several clubs including Fenerbahce if they really want to bring in this player.
But looking at the rumors that I have also read that Chelsea are ready to compete to bring in this player and this could be a bit difficult for Fenerbahce to make an offer if Chelsea joins in, especially since we know that for now, Jhon Duran's clause and his salary are clearly not cheap.

He has been able to adapt quite well in Al-Nassr so far, especially since his statistics are quite good in terms of the goals he has scored, so it is clear that this is not easy if you want to bring in this player even though Duran wants to leave because his release clause will clearly not be cheap considering that Al-Nassr previously spent more than 60 million for this player.

Jhon Duran was associated with Cristiano Ronaldo's club in the Saudi Pro League and performed very well there, even performing well with the Portuguese player.

If Jhon Duran goes to another club and leaves Al-Nassr after an extraordinary season last season then this will be Al-Nassr's second loss for their striker.

Talisca is one of Al-Nassr's very good players. But he also went to the Turkish Super league, namely to the Fenerbahce club. And if Jhon Duran also takes the same step, namely going to Fenerbahce, then it will be the second time for the Fenerbahce club to bring in a striker from Al-nassr. In the past, losing Talisca also made it difficult for Al-Nassr in the attack line. And now Al-Nassr seems to have to prepare to lose one of their strikers again and what an extraordinary coincidence because it is possible that Jhon Duran will indeed go to Fenerbahce, which is the same club that also recruited Talisca.

This is also a unique fact that playing in the SPL does not mean that a football player's career will fade. because good players will still be the target of European clubs. Even if the player leaves Europe. It seems that the SPL has become on par in terms of popularity with leagues in Europe. So players there are also starting to get attention from European clubs.

What do we expect? Duran has gone and achieve what he had in mind, the money the Saudi side are splashing just to get the best players in Europe to play in their league is gradually killing football, the money is getting into the heads of some players who choose to play for money and not for the love of the game. For the player going to Fenerbahce after 1 season in the Saudi league shows that he has nothing more to prove in that league, he has seen it all and I believe he saw the boredom in that league before planning on leaving. Some players who went there are not getting that joy like when they play in European competition so this news of Duran leaving shouldn't shock us at all.

Pogba is lucky to have a second chance in his career, and I think Pogba is also very lucky to have reached an agreement with AS Monaco. Ligue 1 is not as competitive as Serie A and the Premier League, so there is a good chance that Pogba can still have a positive impact on AS Monaco. It is unrealistic to expect his performance to return to the same level as before, because he is now 32 years old.

Some people think that AS Monaco has taken a big risk by signing Pogba, not only because he has not played for more than 18 months, but his injury history is also quite worrying. However, if Pogba avoids injury problems, I am quite sure that he can go through the adaptation process smoothly, and eventually can find his best level of play again, even if it is not the same as before.

[armanda90]

Wow, really good work by the agent! It turns out that next season he will participate in the Champions League and fight for silver in Ligue 1. He is 32 years old and this ban was supposed to end his football career, but he was able to return to the highest level (that was available to him). It will be interesting to see how he performs, theoretically he has a few more years, and if he follows Modric's path, even more  

Welcome back for Paul Pogba after joining AS Monaca and exactly will play at Champion League next season, its not really by joining AS Monaco and smart agent make him can play with top higher level club. I don't easily how to join with top or bigger team and participants at Champion League after Paul Pogba absent for playing football higher level more than one year, if can perform well during Pogba's age over 32 years old have chance for him joining another top European club.

Interested waiting Pogba contribution for AS Monaco and I am waiting for his beautiful assists, how much influence for first season with Monaco after longer time not playing football since mutual contract with Juventus.

[Agbamoni]

This guy is a dusted footballer, absolutely finished as an elite, high level performer. I’m not sure where it went wrong because his first stint at Juventus he was world class.

Maybe the move to Man Utd made him lazy, so much money without the motivation and desire to fulfil his obvious, early career potential.

Shame but he’s just an average option now, hence why he’s going to Monaco. I wish him well but what a waste of a career.

The brilliance of Paul Pogba that I cannot say is dusted. If you know Paul Pogba you will understand why France won the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

 He still remains an elite player to me. Paul Pogba seems to be more vibrant that before. I watched a video of him when signing his contract for Monaco, he was so emotional about it, knowing full well he his career was taunted.

As it stands now, it's reported that Real Madrid has failed to secure the services of the three players at which the coach had wanted before he signed the deal to be their manager. Jonathan Tah was one of the three players mentioned, the second was Florian Wirtz and these two players were all form Bayern Leverkusen. As for Wirtz, his services now belongs to another club who's already signed him. The next player was Zubimendi, Alonso was so very keen on this particular when I saw the news at that time.

I don't know why the usage of the words "failed to secure" when it is clearly that Real Madrid have no intention to recruit these players in a direct way or another.
It is true that Xabi Alonso has his own agenda and plans but the last word is for Perez, Real Madrid president who is linked to every transfer. Whenever Real Madrid want to recruit a player, they will do regardless of his price.
Liverpool for example isn't financially more stable than Real Madrid and Wirtz will surely follow his old boss whenever he asks him or made some pressure on him.

So far, what is certain is Pogba and Ansu Fati to AS Monaco. While some other rumors are the recruitment of goalkeepers, between André Onana or Vanja Milinković-Savić. They are also rumored with Central Midfield, Neil El Aynaoui and also Right Winger, Darío Osorio. But, because of limited funds, of course, they can only be limited to signing players with lower fees when compared to other top clubs.

Oh yeah, update news from COMO. They are increasingly eager to pursue players who fit their club and team, but with quite good competence. This time they have reached an agreement with a young winger, Jayden Addai.

Source: Como have reached an agreement in principle with AZ for Dutch 19 year old winger Jayden Addai!

Real Madrid should just get rid of him quickly. No need to wait for the end of his contract. Just sell him if there is any team interested.

After 10 years he got a serious injury and it just doesn't end. Now he has picked up another one. A big disappointment considering how skilled he is actually...

I am sorry, but I have to agree with you on this. Alaba was once a very promising left back, and that's why he caught Real Madrid's interest while he was still playing at Bayern Munich. There was hope that he would partially fill in the void left by Marcelo but a few years down the road, he has just been bedridden most of the time. It all feels like an Eden Hazard situation all over again. Real Madrid should just count their losses and let him go.

It should be so but no team is interested in bringing him in, especially now that David Alaba is injured again so there is no other way for Real Madrid but to wait for his contract to end and it won't be long before David Alaba's contract ends in 2026.

This is something that cannot be predicted but unfortunately Real Madrid seems to be unlucky because they have experienced the same fate twice in a short time, Eden Hazard and now David Alaba, especially since David Alaba is 33 years old so there is indeed no possibility for his future to develop further after recovering from injury, precisely at an age that is no longer young, a football player will be more susceptible to recurring injuries.

It's really another tragedy for Real Madrid, well I wouldn't really compare his injury to that of Eden Hazard, Alaba so far hasn't cost Real Madrid a quarter of what Hazard cost the club. Hazard was signed for an outrageous fee although he was worth it because he was one of the very best players in the world at that time. It was the contract Real Madrid signed for his release that was a big problem and I still fail to understand why they signed that type of contract on Hazard. Real Madrid so far, won about 7 trophies with Hazard in the team and the worse part was that his name was just their but no contribution from him. Always in the hospital.

I think Real Madrid really needs to sell him because he spends so much time on injuries. So instead of him, they need to bring up a new defender. Like recently, I saw some news on social media where they are arguing about that Real Madrid needs a solid replacement for David Alaba, and intentionally they pick up the name of
Ibrahima Konaté. Honestly, this guy is good his defense skill is absolutely outstanding, and also he has a low efficiency of injuries.

Besides that, if we talked about his original price tag, then probably he is worth €60, which I think is quite easy for Real Madrid to pay....

What did you think, guys? Is this guy's will good or not.

[X-ray]

I don't know why the usage of the words "failed to secure" when it is clearly that Real Madrid have no intention to recruit these players in a direct way or another.
It is true that Xabi Alonso has his own agenda and plans but the last word is for Perez, Real Madrid president who is linked to every transfer. Whenever Real Madrid want to recruit a player, they will do regardless of his price.
Liverpool for example isn't financially more stable than Real Madrid and Wirtz will surely follow his old boss whenever he asks him or made some pressure on him.

Agreed. The usage of failed is obviously out of context.

Real Madrid never ever open the negotiation over Tah, Wirtz and Zubimendi. However, many reported them failed to sign those players, while the fact they never intent to sign them.

How can we call them failed to sign those when they were not even making official bid? Weird? yeah, but this is how journalism work these days.

[SatoPrincess]

I couldn't find any mention of Tottenham also being interested in Mbeumo, I see that only Manchester United are negotiating for him and it looks like they will come to an agreement for €70 million. Manchester United have already paid €73 million for Cunha, they want to strengthen their attack. But what about the defense, they need a stronger goalkeeper and a couple of reliable defenders wouldn't hurt either.

Tottenham have not been active in the market so far maybe later in the window they will make some signings now that they have settled their search for a manager. For the time only Manchester United are legit contenders for the signing of Mbeumo this summer and only United have submitted formal bids for the player. I think Mbeumo is going to be a hard sell because the price tag Brentford put on him is very high. So far Brentford have rejected two offers from Manchester United.

His price happen to be around £55 million and Chelsea are said to be willing to meet the valuation but still face competition with clubs like Bayern Munich for his signature.

The 20-year-old English player was transferred to Dortmund from Manchester City’s youth academy. It was a transfer that once again showed the importance Dortmund gives to young players. He has been playing for Borussia Dortmund for three years and has become an important player in the German team he joined at the age of 17 at the age of 20. I don’t know if Chelsea will sign him, but if they do, they should get the most out of him.
