⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[jaberwock]

It would be good if it could go down again because this indicates that Real really wants to sell Rodrygo immediately and also provides a big opportunity for the player to get more playing minutes at his new club later, I estimate if the price is lowered again maybe around 80/85 million euros and Real can still get a profit from the sale, but I haven't heard the latest news about Liverpool in this deal, is it possible that they are still considering Rodrygo salary which is quite expensive, I think Rodrygo will not mind if his salary is lowered a little for the success of the contract.

I know this will sound crazy, but I heard that they are getting ready for a 200 million deal for Vini, to play at left wing. They heard what we all heard, Vini and Real isn't looking great, and Mbappe wants to move to left wing too, so there are some issues there.

Rodrygo was considered as someone who may leave because of these troubles, but more importantly, Vini may as well. They do not have the 200 million in FFP right now, so they are taking their time, but it may really happen. This is why they are selling a few players, I see that they are looking to sell two more, and after that's done, they will offer a 200 million deal to Real Madrid. Should Real sell Vini for 200? I do not think so, not in normal cases, but if there is some damage done there, maybe it's best they let it go quickly before it gets worse.

I don't see Donnarumma doing very well in an English league and in a club that has lost a lot of its appeal over the years, Manchester United is not what it once was and this is well known, I don't understand why such a strong player and goalkeeper has to go there

Because many top teams already have their own goalkeepers and they not willing to pay high salary. I'm surprised Bayern Munich didn't make a move, they're rich and Neuer is already 39 years old, they need a replacement. Since Neuer get paid higher than Donnarumma, obviously they can afford him.

Liverpool already spent so much money in this transfer window, are they allowed to spend more again? for such fees, I don't think any European teams want spend that much. It's either PSG or Saudi Arabian teams willing to do that.

In 2009, Pep made a statement regarding spending on players, he said "modern football sometimes makes me sad. Nowadays, there can be more focus on big name signings rather than promote youths and that makes me sad". It's been 16 years since after this statement and currently, Pep is the only active coach in history that has spent more money than every other coaches. Over €2 billion has been spent by him on players signings so far. Although, in these years, his been successful as well.

While it may contradict what he said, I think it's not a problem when it's the team's needs and the team's ability to handle it. He's certainly keeping up with developments, although it's understandable if some people think he's inconsistent with what he says.

Besides that, he's also achieved success, so he didn't do it in vain. We also have to be fair in seeing him give young players opportunities. Anything can change, especially if it's just a statement. There are certainly other factors at play, including management's requests.

Honestly sunderland have been impressive so far in this window, already getting Marc Guiu from Chelsea on loan and no option to buy, few  days back they got the signature of Xhaka, they already have the likes of Simon Adingra in the squad already. When Nottingham forest promoted a few season back this is how they make some good signings just to remain in the premier league and I think sunderland is also doing the same thing this season.

I think they might remain in the top flight with this signings, and another big thing is miss the Derby between them and Newcastle, it really good to have them back in the premier league and I would be better if they can remain in the premier league. Howay the Lads!!

[JeffBrad12]

It's interesting to see the rumor about Donnarumma potentially joi MU. The talk is ongoing between his agent, and MU's representative. This most is most likely to happen considering PSG already signed Lucas Chevalier, and i expect this guy as Donnarumma's replacement. It will be great to see Donnarumma joins MU and displace Onana.
Nevertheless, his wage and asking price is the main problem for MU.

If Manchester United acquires Gigi Donnarumma, they'll be making a huge move. We all know the goalkeeper's immense potential. He is still young and has already won many important trophies. I don't know if the deal will go through, because his agent is quite demanding for his clients. Another problem will be selling Onana, Manchester United had invested a lot in him

Are you willing to see them to still stick with Onana as their main goal keeper? The better they terminate his contract or sell him, then recoup some money to sign Donnarumma instead of keeping him. Keeping a darksystem in the squad is one of their biggest mistake.
They can't rely to the Onana again next season or they will finish at the bottom again. They really need a capable goalie to compete next season.

Xhaka was previously rumored to be with Milan, but he ultimately agreed to choose Sunderland for this season. If they want to stay competitive in the tight Premier League, they certainly cannot do it with the same squad. It is common for promoted teams to make changes to the squad to compete, at least to survive and avoid relegation in the following season. They definitely do not want to be a one-season team in the Premier League and then get relegated.

[KTChampions]

It appears that Donnarumma will move out from PSG because his contract will expire next year, his salary will not increase, his position as the main goalkeeper will be threatened by Lucas Chevalier who seems to be very close from moving from Lille to Paris Saint-Germain.
Donnarumma cannot tolerate sitting in the benches and watching a rival taking his place. Meanwhile, Manchester United is not the best option to move to, he can be the main goalkeeper there, Onana is weaker than him and he will probably leave the club by the next season.

The news says that the negotiations on the extension of the contract with PSG have reached a dead end. PSG cannot let him go for free, so they will sell him this summer, if not, then next year he will leave for free. I wonder what Donnaruma is unhappy with and what he wanted from PSG when extending the contract? I think he initially had excellent conditions there. By replacing Donnaruma with Chevalier, PSG probably won't lose anything, they'll even get a slightly younger goalkeeper, but it's still strange that the parties couldn't reach an agreement.

Yap this is the time every team look into their teams and restructure it to the level they think it is okay for them. And I also bely no team would make a sell allow their best players to another team and any player a team allow to go out is not a good player for them. I saw the transfer (sold) of Luis Diaz from Liverpool with the some of €75 millions.
Well it is their choice though Liverpool is the defending champion of Premier League and these were the players brought the victory and other tournaments. Next season might be a different story for them if they do mistake. That is my speculation on it.

[Sexylizzy2813]

I don't know how true this is but if it happens what then would be of Onana at the club? I haven't heard of Onana saying he wants to leave like some players since the opening of the transfer window, all I know for sure is him staying put at the club and fight for his position. Should Donnarumma join Manchester United, it will be the end of Onana's stay at the club I'll tell you for free but can this happen in as much as we ain't certain??

I don't see Donnarumma doing very well in an English league and in a club that has lost a lot of its appeal over the years, Manchester United is not what it once was and this is well known, I don't understand why such a strong player and goalkeeper has to go there

Nothing is bad for the goalkeeper Donnarumma to switch club after all he has already done that some of the best players couldn't do with PSG, winning the UCL title that they have been longing to get hold of, I can't talk about their regular domestic titles and if you ask me I'd say he is the best goalkeeper of last season so moving to Manchester United won't change his status. The problem the goalkeeper will encounter is poor defending from Man UTD players and you'd agree with me that is the same thing the current UTD goalkeeper Onana has been suffering for sometime now and that's where Amorim need to to step in to wake some of these sleeping defenders to do their job because if they concede too much goals it shows that the goalkeeper doesn't have a chance of keeping a clean sheet and it will reduce his worth, talking about Donnarumm. For now let's see how this very deal goes, if the goalkeeper will find himself at Old Trafford.

[Obari]

Are you willing to see them to still stick with Onana as their main goal keeper? The better they terminate his contract or sell him, then recoup some money to sign Donnarumma instead of keeping him. Keeping a darksystem in the squad is one of their biggest mistake.
They can't rely to the Onana again next season or they will finish at the bottom again. They really need a capable goalie to compete next season.

Who's the best will always have a period where they will not be able to perform and end up been in collapse momentum. Even the Donnarumma everyone is craving for the Red Devils to sign, they should not forget in a hurry how they also crave to get Andre Onana from Inter Milan. Let's understand the odds and possibilities of this goalies, because it's not easy on their own side.

Andre Onana is not that poor goalkeeper if we keep close watch on him. He also perform brilliantly at top phase but with mere couple of errors that cost his team. Manchester United is an elite team in Europe that expects more than enough from a player and when that particular player doesn't perform up to standard, they trolled him. I believe one day that Onana will exonerate himself in Old Trafford but he's been given more chances to prove himself but the fans hang him out to dry, Amorim will do something about this whole transfer saga of getting to sign a new goalie for the club. If he does, Donnarumma is a good choice for the club.

[AirtelBuzz]

I don't quite understand why Luis Enrique dropped Donnarumma as their first-choice goalkeeper, considering he's made an incredible contribution to PSG so far, especially considering his performances in the Champions League, where he was even named one of the best goalkeepers in Europe that season. I'm not sure what the club's reason for selling him is, perhaps due to PSG's defeat in the Club World Cup.

And regarding the rumored replacement for their first-choice goalkeeper, Lucas Chevalier, he's a talented young goalkeeper, and his performances for LOSC Lille in Ligue 1 have made him one of the goalkeepers with the fewest goals conceded. At just 22 years old, he has the potential to continue developing and become one of the best goalkeepers, but when it comes to experience, it's clear that Donnarumma is superior.

The Paris Saint Germain manager has not ruled out the Italian as their first choice goalkeeper but at the moment we realized that they have reached an agreement to sign a player from Lille, so it is safe to say that this player's place there may be almost uncertain. The French club was able to win the recently concluded Champions League and we all know that the contribution of this goalkeeper there was immense but the goalkeeper is in no hurry yet as he is ready to fight for this club despite the extended competition.

At the moment it seems to me that speculation has now begun over the place of the Cameroonian player who joined Manchester United because they want to give priority to the goalkeeper of the French club there. So it can be said that they might choose this player as a strong addition to their back line.

As far as a team will make good profits from selling players  I don't think selling one of their best players is something any team would not do. They believe that if they sell a player at a good rate, they can still get a replacement for them at an amount that doesn’t quite match what they sold the player for. The truth is that each team is there for business, and it’s what will pay the team they will always do what’s necessary.so, if Luis Díaz leave Liverpool, they will definitely have a good replacement for him. Most teams don’t just decide to sell a player if they don’t already have a replacement or plan to get a good one.

As for me, I don’t think Liverpool will miss Luis Díaz that much but they will still miss him. In fact, Liverpool
has strengthening their team, and I think without Luis Díaz they can still do well next season. And if the replacement they have for him doesn’t perform well when the season starts, they can always get another player in the January transfer window. But Luis Díaz will not be Liverpool's problem, as some people are thinking but let’s see what happens As season start.

Over €2 billion has been spent by him on players signings so far. Although, in these years, his been successful as well.

Because ultimately, he has the most realistic approach to surviving in football, especially as a renowned coach today.

While it is certainly commendable to give young players opportunities, we must acknowledge that the pressure to achieve good results or trophies each season is a constant demand for big clubs, and Pep cannot afford to remain idealistic with his statements, especially when he is at a big club with significant resources, making this situation somewhat challenging.
Currently, there are still many coaches who always target young players, but not everyone shares the same understanding of player development. While one or two players may succeed through this approach, not everyone can be developed through the academy. Therefore, rather than risk losing his status as one of the most phenomenal coaches of this generation, he will clearly adopt a more realistic approach to this matter.

I thought I was the only one that is seeing this as a mistake for Liverpool, because Luis Diaz is a very important player in Liverpool squad, but since they have signed Hugo Eketike, I think they think their attack is fully justified and they can score more goals than they did last season, but the forget to strengthen their defense, I don’t think they can depend on Van Djik and Konate as their two central defenders.

Do you guys think that Liverpool will win the EPL next season?
I don’t think so in my opinion; I am not looking down on them, but u believe that lack of injury helped them last season since Arsenal, Manchester City, and Chelsea all have injuries along the line, and that has been the advantage Liverpool used to win the Premier League title last season.

However, it will not work this season because all the teams have their full squad, and they are well prepared against injuries since they all have squad depth now especially Arsenal, Manchester City, and Chelsea.

Paris Saint-Germain is getting Ilya Zabarnyi deal done.
Moorhouse is going fro Manchester United to Leyton Orient on loan.
Pierre-Emerik Aubameyang is back to Olympique Marseille.
Jesse Derry leaving Crystal Palace for Chelsea (I mean do they need even more players?)

Some news of the day from Fabrizio.

[SFR10]

Donnarumma isn't going anywhere currently. Maybe there could be Saudi interest as well but I don't give it any chance for him to go there yet. He wants to stay in Europe.

Even staying at PSG until the end of his contract (June 2026) is an option for him currently. 

I'm a bit surprised by PSG going for another goalkeeper when they already have a world-class one in their team... At 26, he's still considered young for a goalkeeper, so considering that he had a large contribution to their recent success, PSG should do their best to renew his contract for at least a few more years.

Do you guys think that Liverpool will win the EPL next season?
I don’t think so in my opinion; I am not looking down on them, but u believe that lack of injury helped them last season since Arsenal, Manchester City, and Chelsea all have injuries along the line, and that has been the advantage Liverpool used to win the Premier League title last season.

You have a point, but it's worth noting that they still have time to sign more players and from what Sky reported a few days ago, they can still easily afford to spend over €200 more on players and one of them is going to be Isak. From what I've seen so far, I think four teams are going to compete for the title and Liverpool is definitely one of them.

Sunderland appears to be preparing their squad quite well, making good use of the current transfer window. Sunderland has officially brought in around seven new players. And yes, that's a major step, clearly demonstrating Sunderland's seriousness in maintaining their Premier League status. They certainly won't waste their promotion opportunity. And at the very least, they must survive the upcoming season. The important thing is to stay away from the bottom of the table. And if Sunderland can survive the upcoming season, then the following season will allow them to further strengthen their squad.
I don't doubt the depth of their current squad. However, competing for a top-10 finish will likely remain a challenge. However, if the manager can maximize their squad's strengths, it's not impossible for Sunderland to compete for a top-10 finish as well.

It's possible that something like this could happen due to Enrique's scheme in the end.
We know he bravely let Mbappe go last season but Enrique let him go and the club dared to support it and the possibility for Donaruma's case could also be the same.

The consideration is about how the performance and readiness actually is. We know that Donaruma is one of the great goalkeepers even tends to be expensive for now but sometimes his performance in some matches does not really show good things and even seems to be a blunder especially now with the existing uncertainty of course there may be some considerations that PSG thinks about the future.

They have prepared Lucas Chevalier at this time as a form of seriousness to let Donaruma leave and this could be a firm consideration that Donaruma may not be able to stay for PSG this time.

Onana as a keeper is good, there's no doubt about it.
He is also a confident goalkeeper and helps the defence.
But as long as Manchester United is concerned, he has lost his confidence.
So, keeping him further is just like further gambling the team performance.

The best thing for Manchester United is to sell him. I have read some months ago that people are interested in him but I can't remember the club. There's no doubt, he will do well in any other team but in Manchester United, his confidence is gone and will hardly be rebuilt.

[Tmoonz]

Finally the player Šeško has made it known to the club that he wants to join the Red Devils just like Viktor Gyökeres made it known to the public that he wants to join Arsenal and now this is the perfect opportunity Manchester United have been waiting for to get someone to fill in that empty space in their attack, they shouldn't waste time on this because we have clubs who are ready to splash in any amount for this very player, Newcastle are there waiting. Now is the moment to focus more on Benjamin Šeško to secure the deal...can UTD get this player before the beginning of August?

Seriously, it's now I'm getting this very news. Sesko is choosing to go to Manchester United over Newcastle. Could this be the reason why we haven't heard a positive news from either Leipzig or Newcastle concerning his personal talks with Newcastle few days ago. It's really a big decision for him and I admire it it because it's not easy picking a struggling team over a team that at least you are sure of playing European football with this season. If this news is really legit, then congratulations to Manchester United.

Benjamin sesko has always get his mind on Manchester United deal but on a low, and that's more reason he rejected Arsenal's offer and for Newcastle United he has already make it clear that he doesn't want that move his mind is on Manchester United, and I think Manchester United wants to sell a player before making an addiction, but my opinion is they should take advantage of this new update about he's interest of joining the team because they really need him to strengthen the attack force, and a delay might course them regret as there are many other teams that are willing to pay any amount to get him.
