⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Renampun]

I completely disagree. Mbappé is a way better player than Vinicius, and you say that Vinicius has been longer at the club I would say that Real Madrid had a lot patience with him because for the first several years he was a very average player. He had a couple of very good seasons but he's no Mbappé, he's no Messi, and he's no Cristiano Ronaldo. If you want to be paid like the best you have to be the best, and Vinicius is not the best. He gets a lot of credit because he plays for Real Madrid.

It's simply unreasonable to see Vinicius's side demanding such a high salary, even exceeding Kylian Mbappé's. From any perspective, there's no reason to make Vinicius' salary equal to Mbappé's, even though Vinicius' achievements haven't matched Mbappé's, and his contribution to Real Madrid hasn't been that significant. So Real Madrid's decision not to meet this demand, citing a desire not to disrupt the existing salary structure, is correct, as Vinicius isn't yet suited to a higher salary than Mbappé.

João Félix is about to sign for Al-Nassr soon.

Chelsea has already been searching for a team to sell him. Benfica's name has been called in Europe but the Saudi side has decided to intervene to hijack him.

He is still 25 years old though. I thought maybe he would return to where everything started for him but it looks like he chose the money instead. Good luck to him then!

Going to Saudi pro league is the best decision for João Felix, since João Felix left Benfica he has not be the same João Felix people use to know again and every season he changed team and that affects his career at the age of 25, João Felix has played in many teams in the Europe and no any team has been good to him and keep him for more than two seasons which makes me feel that the player is not love in Europe since he has not been able to perform well.

Al Nassr need a young player that can play along Ronaldo and Mane, and with the performance of Al Nassr the team need another left wing because Sadio Mane has not been able to help the team is expecting from him, Signing João Felix will help Al Nassr to be able to compete Al Hilal, Al Nassr still need more players from Europe that can able to compete with Al Hilal players.

PSG are making it a habit of discarding good players and I don't know the reason for letting this player Kolo Muani go on loan in the first place but one thing I believe is, he would have made an impact with the PSG side last campaign but Juventus had that opportunity to strengthen their attacking department which Kolo Muani showed every bit of himself. As it stands, Juventus need to grab this opportunity with both arms because in no time I expect other clubs who are desperately looking for an attacker to step up and get him after all he did last season and also in the just concluded FIFA Club World Cup. This player is not the type that needs to spend much of his time on loan, they need to take him serious come next season.

I don’t blame PSG to be honest, Kolo Muani was definitely not in the club’s first or starting eleven and even not the second option for the center Forward Role, he was behind Goncalco Ramos who himself wasn’t getting much time because of the arrival of Kavashkelia and with manager prioritizing Ousmane Dembele on the center forward role than the other two due to the player’s ability to press. So with Kolo Muani been their option it was simply logical from both sides to actually have him go out on loan for more game time and to reduce the wage load on the club.

Personally I think the decision to sell and loan out players like Kolo Muani, Mbappe and others seriously paid for them as they were able to actually win virtually everything they competed in last season with only the Club World Cup loss been their only downfall, so since they could achieve all this then their is nothing more to complain about for players they are letting go. It will be useless having players you don’t use and paying huge wages to them

[Adbitco]

I understand what Chelsea is trying to do here with all these signings. Chelsea is aiming at becoming the dominant team in England, because if they got like 2nd-3rd even squad, it will definitely boost the performance of the team going forward, and considering the number of players who will go on an injury, red cards, or any kind of suspension, secondly it will enable the players to rest and also enable the manager to share the player evenly to which competition they're going to get involved, since they have  the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, and Carabou Cup, in which they're currently involved.

Well it might work and at the same time it might not work, it's all under probability, having so many players in your ranks isn't gonna guarantee that they will do better in the long run. I believe a team should be reinforced with quality players every two seasons at least. I don't know if you could remember, there was this particular season that Manchester City was dominant in the league that even their second eleven could win the league, Mourinho at that time even said this. It wasn't long ago, now even the first team of Manchester City will find it difficult to win the league because fierce battle and resistance is going to come from Liverpool and Chelsea.

And here we go! 

Bayern Munich really wanted Luis Díaz so much as it seems... 75 million euros is quite a high amount though for the 28-year-old winger.

Now this means that Liverpool is free to go all in for Alexander Isak. The sale of Díaz was what they needed for it. I expect Isak to choose them over other teams too. He already stated his intention to sign for them.

He is still 25 years old though. I thought maybe he would return to where everything started for him but it looks like he chose the money instead. Good luck to him then!

Maybe after playing in La Liga and the English Premier League, he doesn’t really want to return to the Portuguese league. And if you compare the Portuguese league with Saudi Arabia, the financial side in Saudi Arabia would significantly exceed what Benfica can offer, so why not. I agree that he’s still a very young player, but maybe after his debut, more young guys will be more willing to go to Saudi Arabia. Before Ronaldo started playing there, there weren’t that many players who wanted to do it. But after he moved to Saudi Arabia, many players followed his example.

Sometimes I wonder what has really went wrong with this guy career. Could it be that he has character issues that no team in Europe that he has played for ever wants to keep him. He started very well early in his career, but right now I don't know what to say about him. If he disappoint in Saudi Arabia, he should just retire and rest of possibly go for rehab and start his career all over again.

Not really sure if his character is the reason behind what is happening to João Félix right now because no coach has come out publicly to condem his character rather I think it could be something we can't picture correctly that is behind his not being signed by a club in Europe. João Félix is still a good player and at his age moving to Saudi Arabia to play along side his brother and country man Ronaldo I see no problems there rather he is going to pack money then return back to continue his career in Europe.

I thought he was signed from Benfica initially, I'm not too sure but I still remember that it was Atletico Madrid that signed him from a Portuguese league for a hefty fee at that time but he didn't play up to expectations in ATM and they had to sell or loan him to Barcelona I can't actually recall which is it but he played for both Barcelona and Chelsea, still didn't play up to expectations. This dude was talented and did very well for his first club, I really wonder what happened to him that he couldn't reciprocate that brilliance in either Barcelona or Chelsea.

Yes, your right he was very good and attracted Atletico Madrid to since him, but on getting there he didn't really perform as expected and since then he's been on several loan deals from Barcelona to Chelsea before he got signed completely from Atletico Madrid by Chelsea and was loaned to Milan, I believe if he had performed well at Milan maybe they would've thought of signing him completely or renew his loan deal but he only scored few goals there. Well Benefica has interest in bringing the player back to the club but currently I can see that Al Nassr wants to hijack the deal and could lure him over there with huge wage offer. It's so sad that upon how skilled he was, he couldn't have a better career at Barcelona.

A good decision for Chelsea because since he was given the trust last August Joao Felix has performed inconsistently in the team, with the initial purchase price Chelsea can release him with the possibility of no loss at all because Arab teams are known to easily spend large sums of money but on the other hand this will affect Joao Felix career considering that if he plays in the SPL, a league that is not very competitive, in the future he could have difficulty returning to playing in the top leagues, it's a shame that at the age of 25 Joao is having trouble performing well.

I expected that Joao Felix will have improved when he came to Chelsea but nothing changed, and he couldn't make any remarkable impact on the club, there is no need keeping him at this Summer, So this will be a very good opportunity for Chelsea to offload him somewhere else and if Al Nassr aggreed to complete his deal then that would be of benefit to both the player and Chelsea football management team.

Since he João Felix couldn't play to the level of expectations it was only best that Chelsea let him leave in order that they can make profit for the club on selling him to use such money to buy a player with a good show. I love the project that is going on in Chelsea, they make available many options in every position and flog out any player they think isn't meeting up to the level of their project. Next will be Jackson which I believe it's going to happen before the transfer window closes.

And obviously slot is planning something, which is dominating the Premier League for the next few years. Same way Bayern Munich is planning on dominating the Bundesliga. They are both Champions of their domestic league, the conclusion of this deal is a big boost for both club.

Sometimes it marvels me how they always manage to sale their players for a huge amount but then when I went to check who their supporting director was, I discovered he's someone that's very good at his job, Richard Hughes, he's helped them to make good sales from different transfer windows that's why they have lots of funds to spend on buying quality player.

 I won't be suprised if Liverpool use this offer to go after Isak, they'll just add to it and give Newcastle some good amount. Sure Isak would definitely accept if Liverpool goes for him, it's a huge upgrade from Newcastle and that's exactly what he wants, he'll be a good signing for Liverpool, he's skillful, sharp and versatile and can also be played as a left winger as well as a striker.

Liverpool could certainly use this deal to pursue Alexander Isak and the Brazilian player as everyone can see that Liverpool Football Club has an extreme interest in these two players. Initially this player may have tried to link up with Barcelona but we are now realising that he has been linked with the German club. Liverpool Football Club recently lost a friendly match to AC Milan Football Club but the Colombian player was involved in the training session before the match started but he didn't participate in that match, at that time I think that this player might be moving to another club. In this context it can be said that Liverpool may have reluctantly sold a popular player in their forward line and the German club may have been considering signing him long ago.

Joao Felix is going to Saudi Arabia. After a successful career at Al-Nassr, he might return to Europe. His move to Saudi Arabia is now almost certain. Cristiano Ronaldo is likely one of the reasons he's joining Al-Nassr. It's easy to imagine that Cristiano will motivate him and get him playing in the best possible way. I hope he takes advantage of this opportunity and sees his team finally achieve their championship goal. Who knows what the future holds, but perhaps he too can one day achieve even greater heights than he did in his past years. Of course, he needs to work hard for this, and he can learn some tips from Cristiano Ronaldo.

If Joao felix negotiations move smoothly and he move to the club Al nasser, that is the ends of is career because I don't think he will perform in the club when Ronaldo is still in the team. You are right,  am sure is because of Ronaldo that is why he will approve the offer and play with the legend. All the young start that are moving to Saudi league most are because of Ronaldo, he can easily convince players because of is rank in football and history he keep. and many young start we like to play with the legend in the pitch.

That is how Mane leave Liverpool and join Ronaldo because am sure is Ronaldo that encourage him to come to the clubs to play for the team. Chelsea have already having tough key players already and they won't feel any problems from leaving Joao felix to Al nasser, they don't need him anymore,  and you will notice that they don't like to put him in many games. that as show that the coach don't have interest on him anymore. I don't really sure that if Joao felix move to al nasser he will get the opportunity to come back to Europe. since am watching football have not seen any better player that move to Saudi league and come back to Europe to perform again. They won't value you anymore and any big club won't have interest on sighing you.

I can't really advise young players to go to Saudi league because they won't do well as they are doing in the Europe, is only old players that is good for them to move to Saudi league and play and enjoy there money. since they have achieved many trophies with Europe already, and that is other point that make Ronaldo move to the saudi league. since he as achieved anything in Europe competition so is trying Saudi league to win more goals and trophy and personal awards.

[X-ray]

The deal agreed between Chelsea and Nassr for Felix. Chelsea will get 30m from selling Felix to al nassr, but already included heave sell on clause to meet Chelsea's 50m release clause. It means they will still get 20m from Felix's sale in the future by Al Nassr.

It's a bit low from what i have expected, but still better than keeping him far longer in the club.

I know how it's such a shame from seeing his career panned out this early. He's still 25 years old, but his performance is stalled, and club not need him anymore.  So, release him is one of best decision.

These negotiations no longer surprise me! We've now understood that the Saudi Arabian league will have all the stars it wants at its disposal. There won't be any European teams that can match their financial strength. Joao Felix isn't in top form, but he's still an excellent player who could still give a lot in Europe.

Saudi will only get superstars who put monetary reason as their main intention to play football. Felix is one of these superstars. If he's not putting monetary reason as his main reason to join Saudi, he would be joining Benfica instead.

First, the main attraction remains money, second, regular first team playing time, and third, and third, I think is Ronaldo. I agree that top European clubs may no longer be interested in signing Joao Felix in the future because the Saudi Pro League is not yet competitive, which could lead to a decline in his individual quality. Joao Felix will also likely lose his place in the Portuguese national team, which is part of the consequences of choosing to move to Al Nassr. I think joining Al Nassr is a good move for Joao Felix now, as he won't necessarily get all three of those things if he stays in Europe next season.

Personally, I prefer him playing in Al Nassr than Benfica, because he will be honored there than in his homeland. Ronaldo is in Al Nassr and there is a lot of things that J. Felix can learn from Ronaldo since they are both from the same country. Who knows if it was Ronaldo that made the connection and inspired him to come over to Al Nassr. Jao Felix have really played in different leagues and couldn't win the heart of any of the coaches in order for him to be amongst the first eleven. Trying something different with good pay might be a game changer. for him.

And obviously slot is planning something, which is dominating the Premier League for the next few years. Same way Bayern Munich is planning on dominating the Bundesliga. They are both Champions of their domestic league, the conclusion of this deal is a big boost for both club.

Diaz to Bayern is definitely a big win for the germans, after Sane's departure they desperately needed a strong winger and Diaz with his experience from the PL will have a much easier time in the Bundesliga. I'm sure he'll be one of the best in his position in the Bundesliga.

As for Liverpool, Rodrygo would definitely be the better choice as they don't need Isak that badly but a good winger for a good price, they should not wait!

I think it's too late to see Joao Felix at the Benfica
Benfica should match the salary that All NASSR is offering him and I don't think we'll ever see a salary like that in Europe. Unfortunately we cannot compete with them in any way. But I believe these transfers won't last forever; sooner or later they'll have to deal with costs and revenues. A bit like what happened some time ago with the Chinese league.

[Mehmet69]

What could be Rodrigo's next plan?


So will Rodrygo not play for Real Madrid anymore? Is Liverpool his best destination? Rodrygo says he has loved Liverpool since he was a child.

Rodrygo wants to prove himself again because of the change of coach at Real. So while everyone is busy on vacation, he is warming up. But is Xabi Alonso planning something like that with him? I don't think he can use Rodrygo. Since Rodrygo is a talented player, it might be good for him to go to a new destination, Liverpool, right now. He has achieved most of what Rodrygo can achieve playing for the club. At a time like this, going to a new club is a bit of a success, but if Alonso doesn't put him in the right mood, then Rodrygo should leave that place.

Real Madrid is a good team, no doubt about it. But if a professional footballer is not taken to that team with the right plan, it is better not to waste time sitting in that place. We will see a lot of changes in Xabi's plans as a new coach. Because his season hasn't even started yet. But it's hard to accept that Rodrigo won't be in that plan. It's just not acceptable.

We'll just have to wait and see what Rodrigo does next.

[coinlocket$]

So will Rodrygo not play for Real Madrid anymore? Is Liverpool his best destination? Rodrygo says he has loved Liverpool since he was a child.

I bet that today young players make photos with all the big teams jersey.
So when they are older they can say "I always loved this team".
About the player, with a new coach some players has been cut out from the team.
The new coach can use a different module or can't see the player fit in his way of making football.

This is a normal thing.
