⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[TelolettOm]

What I wonder is why PSG are making it so obvious that they don't want Donnaruma anymore? It makes sure that the transfer fee decreases and interested teams would pay less and they have a better negotiating position now.

Somehow not so cleverly done by PSG but yes I also believe that City will get one of the best goalkeepers at a favorable price.

Donnarumma even bid farewell to PSG fans at their home match, where he was also not included in the lineup. And here, indeed, PSG has indirectly not wanted Donnarumma to become their goalkeeper. There have been many rumors, but who knows the exact reasons. Donnarumma's asking price is in the region of €50 million, and Manchester City is also still in talks.

Meanwhile, Manchester City is still rumored to be in talks with Rodrygo. Interestingly, Rodrygo's agent flew to the UK to meet with Liverpool representatives. They also said they would meet with Manchester City to hold talks.

If Donnarumma is not going to play there is no way he is going to stay one year on the bench in Paris. Somehow he is going to leave the club, he is in his prime, he was in Milan's line up when he was 16 years old and now he should stay on the bench because Chevalier is playing? No way.

Honestly, I don't know the exact reason why Enrique no longer needs Donnarumma in the starting lineup. Although the reason currently circulating is that it doesn't fit with Enrique desired scheme, I don't think that's reasonable considering how good Donnarumma previous performance was and brought PSG many titles. PSG doesn't seem to care much about Donnarumma at the moment, just look at when Gigio was no longer a starter in the first match of the League 1 competition. This proves that Gigio must immediately find a new club before the transfer window closes because what the point of staying if he just a bench warmer.

From I understood, Luis Enrique prefers a player more comfortable playing with his feet, so the goalkeeper would be almost like the first playmaker of team. I understand that football keeps evolving and changing but I disagree with this idea: a goalkeeper must save goals, Donnarumma is clearly better than Chevalier and yet he lost his spot because the other player is better passing the ball. Maybe I'm old, I don't know, but I would keep Donnarumma over Chevalier, no doubt about that. If PSG won the Champions League a huge part of the merit goes to Donnarumma and his incredible saves.

Donnarumma is PSG's best goalkeeper right now. He contributed significantly last season, helping PSG win the treble. I don't think Enrique has a problem with Donnarumma. If you say he's an old goalkeeper, I don't think so, because he's only 26 years old. As far as I know, 26 isn't considered old, in fact, players mature more at that age.

According to the news I've read, Donnarumma's problem is actually a request for a salary increase, and PSG isn't ready for it. That's why Donnarumma's contract hasn't been extended. PSG has also recruited a new goalkeeper, Chevalier. This is an option for Enrique at the moment, as long as Donnarumma's problem with PSG is still unresolved, Enrique has prepared a new goalkeeper to replace Donnarumma.

Donnarumma is currently being sought by many top European teams, but PSG's asking price is too high. We'll just have to see how Donnarumma develops with PSG in the future.

Donnarumma is no longer PSG's goalkeeper: yesterday he wasn't even on the bench and after the match he went on the pitch and said goodbye to the fans so it's pretty clear that he won't be playing anymore for them.
And considering City's loss and the bad performance from their goalkeeper I'm pretty sure Donnarumma will join City before the end of the transfer window.

Wasn't it just two weeks ago that the media was saying that after talking to Pep, he would definitely be moving to Manchester City? It seemed to me that this transfer story, with all the rumors and speculation, had ended before it even began. Well, there isn't much time left before the transfer window closes, and I hope he doesn't end up without a team. He'll definitely be useful at City.

Nico Jackson is not a terrible player, but he is not a great one neither. Villa may end up using his skills better maybe, like Unai Emery is a good person and could make this work, but I honestly believe that he doesn't even worth a shot at that level. I would say he is the type of player who should be at a team who either relegates, or barely saved from relegation.

You spoke my mind here. Nico Jackson actually not the right striker for Chelsea United, but he is going to do better than Delap in Chelsea. You know why? Delap is a player that doesn't get involved with the playmaking. The teammate creates the opportunity and he scores, this is the kind of striker he is. But Jackson, in most cases joins in creating the goal opportunity, he has the skill and strength but he lacks the finishes. Delap on the other hand is very clinical. So I still think Jackson will do better at Aston Villa

What a striker needs is to be clinical at goal and not play making, a striker isn't a false nine or midfielder. The assists isn't what make him worth being bought but the goals. Jackson need to start taking all his chances and scoring or making the most of the chances that he's getting. That's something he isn't doing but Delap is a better striker than him or aren't you all seeing his contribution to the attack of the Chelsea team so far. The last game he played, he made there to be a threat and gave other players the opportunity to become more technical at goal and that what's giving J. Pedro all the chances that he's getting.

It would be very sad if Donnarumma fails to find a new team before the transfer window closes. A move to Serie A, MLS, or the Saudi Pro League might be worth considering rather than being sidelined for a season without a club. Manchester City is reportedly prioritizing keeping their main goalkeeper, Ederson, but it's not impossible that they will sign Donnarumma, especially if they receive a good offer for Ederson.

On the other hand, I think Manchester United should also consider signing Donnarumma, they should be looking for a better goalkeeper than Onana and Altay Bayindir. I think both of these teams would not have mind with the transfer fee if they were serious about recruiting Donnarumma. The last option would be a loan deal if PSG finds it difficult to release Donnarumma permanently.

Well, by himself Donnaruma didn't even want to continue to at PSG because he already expressed his opinion last time when Saudi Arabian clubs offered him huge wages like simple is that he is just asking for a wage increase. Despite PSG not wanting to increase his wages, that's why his agent made a deal with Manchester City with the term of a maximum wage contract...

PSG sign another goalkeeper with I think he wouldn't be able to fill the lacking of Donnaruma but still, he is a better goalkeeper. Last early Donnaruma is the only player who is strongly responsible for winning a UEFA champions league titles as well as league titles because all the time he gets to stop the threat from the opponent side...

I don't have many details about him, but isn't he approaching retirement age?

I am still wondering why City need him? They have two not so bad goalkeepers in Ederson and Stefan Ortega. Maybe I am missing something. I think PSG are right to let him go. They can always sign someone better instead of wasting most of the money in huge wages

[Barikui1]

I don't have many details about him, but isn't he approaching retirement age?

No, he is just 26, and for a goalkeeper, he is not yet at his prime because he still has a lot of years ahead of him in the game.

I am still wondering why City need him? They have two not so bad goalkeepers in Ederson and Stefan Ortega. Maybe I am missing something. I think PSG are right to let him go. They can always sign someone better instead of wasting most of the money in huge wages

Honestly speaking he is going to be an upgrade to those two keepers at Manchester city because Ederson who is experience and the number one goalkeeper of Manchester city will be leaving since his heart is no longer at the club, and as for Stefan Ortega, he is not that reliable for a top team like Manchester city. While donnarumma is being shown the exit door at psg is not because of him not wanting to extend his stay at the club, but it's because he has fell out with the coach Luis Enrique, he said that he no longer needs him in his team, so the hierarchy chooses to obey the wishes of the manager over the player, so that is the reason he will be leaving Paris saint Germain, but if Manchester city can sign this player, it's going to be a very good acquisition in my own opinion.

[Ale88]

Donnarumma will obviously go to the City. He has personal agreement with City and accepted his new salary on City. The only problem is just between City and PSG for the transfer fees. I expect City to pay him a bit less from what PSG wanted (50m). 40m - 45m range look good enough.
Still enough time to complete his transfer. He's 90% ready to become City's new goalie.

Gianluigi Donnarumma is the best goalie for Paris Saint-Germain and they're willing to let him go this summer? What's it cause to let go one of the best goalkeeper for the club? Then we put this point clear, Paris Saint-Germain are capable of letting go of any players they feel is no longer important for them. They don't need to make things complicated, check previous records and we can simply merge it with the current happenings. PSG have let go of Neymar Jr, Leo Messi and Kylian Mbappe, what player can be more important than this current ones mentioned? Donnarumma should take a bow and exits Parc des Princes and open a new chapter elsewhere and featuring in the EPL is his target.

Manchester City are favorite and bringing in Donnarumma, what will happen to the current Manchester City goalie, Ederson? Well we lived it for the Citizens headcoach to decides, because a whole lot can now happen. Competition is what Pep Guardiola needs to ensure he's on safe track. Crucial statistical checks, Ederson have made quite errors at backlines but got saved by his defenders although some goals can not be prevented. In my opinion, Manchester City in the race to sign Gianluigi Donnarumma, I think is a good call for them.

Wait, there is a huge difference between what happened with Donnarumma and the other players you mentioned: people like Mbappé, Neymar and Messi wanted to leave the club, they didn't like PSG, it was their choice to leave. With Donnarumma is the opposite: he wanted to stay, he likes the team and the city, he didn't want to leave, it's the team that chose to exclude him from the project and they are forcing him to leave since he doesn't even go on the bench, he's literally the 3rd goalkeeper now. Will see what happens, I have a feeling that PSG will regret this move.

I'm sure there's a problem. The Italian goalkeeper was a player who played as the first goalkeeper for a long time. His quality didn't suddenly drop enough to become the team's third goalkeeper. They probably had a problem within the team, and as a result, they considered dropping him. I don't know if that's true or not, but Paris Saint-Germain is a very big club. If they made such a decision, there must have been a reason.

[Oluwa-btc]

To many talks about Nicholas Jackson being a striker, but he's no striker. I wonder why the so much pressure on him. He is more of a left winger to a center forward. He is more of a player that creates for his side during his Villareal days. I'm no fan of comparison but this is the reason why you shouldn't compare them. They're both different players. I hope he gets a club who plays his to his strengths finally.

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

But he had a great first season for Manchester United under Erik ten Hag, yes?! I love the fact that the board and management can now see that he's no fit for our long term goals and are deciding to part ways with him. The Scudetto league competition is a league he has a good knowledge and also scoring goals. He will surely succeed with them and also play in the Champions League Competition.

If I'm not mistaken, he scored five goals in the Champions League and 10 goals in the Premier League in his first season with Manchester United. It's fair to say his performances weren't particularly impressive for a player of his physique. Entering his second season, Rasmus Hojlund lost his best touch, which actually resulted in his goal-scoring abilities fading. The arrival of Amorim changed everything, as Rasmus Hojlund didn't live up to the manager's expectations, leading him to decide to move to Napoli, where he could slowly rebuild his career if given the opportunity to play.

In the last 2 season Ederson has lost his touch even last season he has poor records conceded 15 goals in a row from 5 games even in the crucial moment Ederson have made some blunder which caused Manchester City lost yesterday too Guardiola didn't put his trust to Ederson anymore it proven into Manchester City lineup that Ederson only watching the game at the bench without playing so i think Manchester City is really needed new goalkeeper

Donnaruma performance is very consistent in PSG he even the hero when PSG got champion league trophy last season and although i am not Manchester city fans but i feel like Donnaruma will be suitable to this team moreover Donnaruma has high salary and with the current financial conditions of Premier league clubs i think only Manchester City can afford to pay his salary

[Jostern]

Meanwhile, Manchester City is still rumored to be in talks with Rodrygo. Interestingly, Rodrygo's agent flew to the UK to meet with Liverpool representatives. They also said they would meet with Manchester City to hold talks.

It is obvious and a certainty right now that Donnarumma is going to leave Paris-Saint-German and after what I saw on Saturday game against Tottenham when the Goalkeeper made that mistake which caused a goal opportunity for Tottenham then I must say that Manchester City really need a new and experienced goalkeeper like Donnarumma considering that Ederson might leave the club, but I’m thinking the price tag that Paris-Saint-German placed on him is quite too much, for a player who have a one year contract, seeing him waving and clapping for the fans during the weekend was just disappointing for him, he loves them and would’ve loved to stay in the club, but falling out with the club management I must say it’s over for him at Paris-Saint-German.

I don’t think this Rodrygo news is quite true, if a team wants a player why don’t you make a bid and talk to the club, instead of his agent going to meet different clubs for discussions how do you even think this is possible, I know the interest of Manchester City is genuine and I don’t really know of Liverpool is interested in Rodrygo because their only interest seems to be on Isak right now, but the football transfer can be interesting and surprising especially now we’ve approached the final week and the deadline will soon be upon us. Let watch and see how this rumors develops and unfold.

This news is obviously false, I don't know who keeps spreading this BS transfer rumor.

Rodrygo is happy at Madrid currently, and Liverpool/Arsenal/Spurs (LOL) are not going to move for him this summer. The only interest is from City, and even that is tentative - he's only being considered if they sell somebody, and they're blocking players from leaving for now.

[Abbatty]

Chelsea continue to sell players as Carney chukwuemeka and Aaron Anselmino are on the verge on joining Dortmond. Anselmino deal is almost concluded as it is just a loan deal with no option to buy, but for the chukwuemeka deal is a permanent transfer. Both players will make an impact on the in the Dortmond squad, after watching yesterday match Dortmond really need to add numbers to the squad especially the defense.

Carney chukwuemeka will bring in creativity and create more chances so I think it a good deal for them, Chelsea insisted in a permanent transfer which is why it taking this long to get the deal done but According to Fabrizio we should expect Here we Go soon.

Exactly, the Donnarumma case is totally the opposite of other cases such as Mbappè or Messi
Here a choice has been made by both the management and the coach, who have declared that Donnarumma is no longer part of the project and will no longer be PSG's first goalkeeper.
Most likely there is more to the story that we don't know because it is unthinkable that a top player like Donnarumma would be treated like this

[Velvet78]

I think it depends on Savinho's potential sale before the deadline. Tottenham is interested in him recently. If the signing happens in time then Guardiola might want to make a move for Rodrygo. Otherwise I don't expect Rodrygo to leave yet either.




Tottenham wants to go over 70 million euros? Really? It is hell of a money for him man I don't know... This is going to be like the best sale ever for Manchester City recently.

He couldn't even play for 90 minutes regularly last season. I can't say he was incredible either. They bought him for 25 million and now they are likely to make a profit of more than 50 million. 

[Frankolala]

Exactly, being clinical is one of the qualities of a good striker and Jackson lacks this quality. There has been times without number that Jackson had the chance to find the back of the net but he failed. This is why he isn't better than Delap. What I love in a striker is to have a clinical finish. You will be rest assured that if he has a good chance with the ball, it becomes a goal.

Chelsea are doing good business as they're buying young players and building them up then selling them while they still have a decent team that's giving them results. Chelsea has being winning trophies too although they aren't big trophies but they're still silverware and that's good business for them because they're making money and still winning. Chelsea still has a lot of players to sell off and I think they should make their transactions faster and not slow before they're left having too many players on their payroll when they aren't featuring on the pitch. It's also good business that the players are being sold to teams outside the premier league.
