⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[arallmuus]

This looks interesting... I didn't know Barcelona still owe to these teams a really serious amount of money in total.    And they have to pay ~90% of this amount to stay safe.

After paying for this until the end of the season, I wonder how much money they will be able to allocate for signings. The revenues must have increased at least after big sponsorship deals but their finances still don't look very stable.

Pretty much achievable if they could get atleast top 2 in LaLiga, I doubt any other team would be able to knock them out of top 2 and also probably atleast quarterfinals in UCL. Aside from that, there are TV rights and some other sponsorship fund share as well so yeah they should be able to achieve that. As long as they stay in top 2 then all potential future sponsors would be lining up for them

Obviously not enough to get them out of their situation but they are definitely going to make it through

Barcelona still has a lot of debt. And perhaps that's why Joan Laporta confirmed they won't be signing any players in the upcoming January transfer window. This is also because Barcelona's squad so far has been very good and they don't need any additional players in the next transfer market season. So far, that's not in their plans.

I know is not a must for a team to sign while other clubs are making move to get new players to improve their squad but on this very case for Barcelona I feel they're not even suppose to think of signing any player come January but on second thought, is it that they don't want to go into the market because is not in their plans or they don't have the funds to do so? Which do we have to believe as the main reason?
Like you said they're in a lot of debt so why come out to say they won't be in the market because it's not part of their plan, they are looking for attention that's just it, they know their state concerning their funds and this is coming out of Deco, is really funny. They already have the materials to bully their way through to any finals and I know they can do it, they only have to work against injury that's all.

Barcelona's financial problems have been ongoing for years, and they need to end. They must pay the players' wages. I have no doubt Barcelona will pay them due to financial regulations, but they may try selling a few players later this year to generate revenue. We know that even selling Yamal alone would provide the club with significant financial relief, but it's safe to say that selling him at his current age would leave Barcelona far from the success they desire. Therefore, Yamal will remain with the team.

This are issues not necessarily associated with them selling players but rather reoccurring issues, the past players had wages that were owed or even bonuses and yearly or time after time this bonuses are been due this is the reason for this repeated cycle of money owed, this kind of debts you don’t get to pay them off immediately because you cannot since it’s reoccurring and you just simply wait for the players time to be up and then they stopped accumulating.

Ok regardless of this again I don’t even think  that this Barcelona team will sell Yamal just to make money for debt clearance it is with constant winning that they attract investors, get trophy bonuses and many more thing associated with winning and this will help them clear more debt, isn’t it with players like Yamal that things like this are possible with? So this is why I don’t even think they will ever consider selling him.

Selling Yamal would not automatically be enough to pay off all of Barcelona debts, but by achieving consistent success over time, Barcelona will eventually be able to overcome their financial crisis. In fact, many other big clubs also have debts, the difference is that they are not subject to spending restrictions, whether in signing players or paying their salaries.

Yamal is a star player who should be retained for the long term. By building a strong squad around him, Barcelona have the opportunity to continue achieving consistent success. With more success in the future, Barcelona will find it easier to attract sponsors, which will ultimately improve their financial situation.

I feel some players which Liverpool signed haven’t adapted to the team yet, I don’t really know what’s wrong with Isak, since he joined Liverpool, his performance has been poor, he doesn’t score or make any goal contribution for Liverpool, I just hope with time he will be back to form, because his performance is so terrible right now.

Indeed. Some new players in Liverpool still can't adapt well. Besides Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz also still can't contribute much for Liverpool attacking. In 8 EPL matches, he scored 0 goal and delivered 0 assist. He only could deliver 2 assist in UCL and 1 assist in community shield. It is quite unfortunate because he is expected to be one of mainstay players in attacking line.

Barcelona still has a lot of debt. And perhaps that's why Joan Laporta confirmed they won't be signing any players in the upcoming January transfer window. This is also because Barcelona's squad so far has been very good and they don't need any additional players in the next transfer market season. So far, that's not in their plans.

Besides the debt, Barcelona won't take the risks of too huge amount of money for players' salaries. More new players, it means the more burden of their financial. Yep, I agree that Barcelona has enough players to compete in all competitions for the whole season. So, it is not really an urgent situation for buying new players. It is a wise decision that Barcelona won't sign any player in the January transfer windows.

Manchester United are usually one time wonder teams, in a while they win games we least expect, their next match is against Brighton, the imaginable might happen, MU and Brighton are very close let's see how the match unfolds.

Without a doubt it is like that, let's wait and see what happens with that match, but they must have very high morale, if the MU takes advantage of that good moment then it would be ideal for them to be able to go up again because they are not in a very good position, I as a fan would be very worried about this team, they caught a Liverpool with their Pants down and beat them, good for the MU, I hope they continue like this so that they continue changing the face of the PL.

Everyone has been waiting for Manchester United to play such good, high-quality matches for a long time. They played really well against Liverpool and deserved the win. They need to be in European competitions next year, and I think they need to be in the Champions League. To do that, they need to finish in the top four, as far as I know. If they keep this up, they've already shown us they're capable of beating any team. Of course, they can finish in the top four. As long as they never let up and the players are at their best. Their squad is truly high-quality. Look at the players who left Manchester United, they shine at every club they join.

[M47AK16]

Considering the huge amount of money Liverpool spent in the previous transfer window, they haven't shown good results after a series of defeats. I don't see Liverpool's weakness in strikers, but rather their focus on finding players in that position. Liverpool has a weakness in wingers, so buying players in that position will only create competition. We've seen this recruitment in the previous transfer window, where the two players they brought in with fantastic value as strikers haven't been able to deliver good results.

Because that’s not how it works, you can’t just buy the most expensive striker, put him in the starting lineup, and expect him to score as much as he did in his previous team. For different players it works differently, some need more time to adapt, while others need the same kind of teammates who can provide them with good assists, like the ones they were used to before. He joins a new team, and everything is different new players, new tactics, a new strategy, and he just gets lost and can’t score. I think Liverpool made too many changes too quickly, and Slot’s lack of experience is now showing in Liverpool’s results.

Depends. City got Haaland because he was scoring a lot of goals, and when he came to City he continued to score and was great, so it's possible for that to happen. But when Isak was taken he started to not score as much, so we assumed that much, he wasn't worth the money they paid him.

When you consider this, you realize that you are going to have some players who will change teams but still keep their performance, and some players who will change teams and be a lot worse. Biggest example I can remember is Hazard, that dude almost won Ballon D'or over Messi and Ronaldo, some believed he actually deserved it, and when he moved to Madrid, that dude became a joke. So you never know how well a player will transition into their new team, it's always a coin toss.

[Africolo]

Liverpool spent so much amount of money during the transfer window, but as we can see, Liverpool performance isn’t so good this season, they lost 4 matches in a row, a club that spent that amount of money isn’t suppose to have that kind of result. Liverpool make some mistakes when they were signing players, they focused more on attackers, and didn’t pay much attention to the defenders, which is really affecting them right now, because Liverpool defense is just so weak right now, and I don’t know how they going to fix things.

They did signed a LB and RB and one CB who got injured and was very confidence in landing Ghehi to back up the CB position with Van D. I think they had plans for it but got played last minutes by Crystal Palace. That decision only messed up their season.  Van is getting old, Konata and Gomez ain't good enough. Should they have spent more on defenders? Maybe yes

I feel some players which Liverpool signed haven’t adapted to the team yet, I don’t really know what’s wrong with Isak, since he joined Liverpool, his performance has been poor, he doesn’t score or make any goal contribution for Liverpool, I just hope with time he will be back to form, because his performance is so terrible right now.

He also perform better on the wing, maybe Arne Slot should try a front 3 of Isak, Ekitike and Salah instead of the usual Gakpo, Ekitike/Isak and Salah. The manager needs to be flexible in his tactics to accommodate everyone that's what a good manager does.

Selling one important player to clear that financial crisis is
not the only way out because there other ways of generating money apart from that option.  Considering other source of fund I think selling shares could also help but the easiest and most reliable source is player selling the same way arsenal was doing during the time of Arsene wenger. If they could consider the option I think the saudi arebia team request to land yamal could be enough to clear up the full expenses and even settle some internal issues affecting the team.

Going to Saudi Arabia at 18 or 19? I think that's ridiculous, even for Yamal. Plus, I think the Saudis have already developed some immunity to silly deals, thanks to Neymar and a few others, and won't just throw away money. Barcelona is a profitable club when it comes to cash flow, but as I understand it, the accumulated debt is eating up everything. They simply need to moderate their ambitions and spend less. Yes, that's the path Juventus is taking (where they're recovering very slowly), but it's better than the shame of bankruptcy.

It's a gradual process they will clear their debts, no football clubs don't owe debts in players signings. Most of these players signings that clubs do you think they pay those money at a stretch? Some are spread over a number of years, some take like 5 to 7 years to complete the payment. The most important things is that the clubs involved in the deals have a concrete agreement on mode of payment and when they should pay certain percentage of the money. Hardly before you see a club that will buy a player around £30m and above and pay at once. We are talking about Barcelona own because it has been published, but somehow all clubs owe debts.

Barcelona squad at the moment is perfect, Rashford and the rest of the front liners are not doing too bad, however am not a fan of January transfer window, the reason is simple, what's the need to sign players that will not be part of your major team competition like the champions League, if a club should buy any player, it should be before the January transfer, so they can literally play all the competitions. Outside the financial imbalances Barcelona has, Deco still has a point, they really don't need a new player at moment, maybe after the season must have ended.

As one of the world's team known for their excellence with so many fans, if they continue to playwell to finish top 4 it will mean so much for their fans seeing history trying to repeat, the dominance of Manchester united (man u) in the past.

The January transfer window is essential to most clubs, especially those that are playing more than one competition. Some players might have suffered major injuries and the club would have to seek for quick replacement. Not all new players would do well because some of them might struggle to get used to the league. Coaches will use this short period to buy new players.

The financial situation of Barcelona might be a good reason to avoid the January transfer, but if they have a need for players,  it is important to seek funds and get them.

It is a wise decision that Barcelona won't sign any player in the January transfer windows.

Barcelona still needs several additional players to face the season well. It would be very problematic if several key players were injured, which could impact their performance in La Liga and the Champions League. However, the only problem Barcelona currently faces is their unstable finances, and buying players with high salaries could cause financial instability for the club, as they now have players who must be paid high salaries every season.

If we look at the urgent aspect, it may be true because so far Barcelona has succeeded in maximizing their strengths with the quality of the players they have from the academy. However, if they are serious about competing in the Champions League, perhaps several additional players are needed to make Barcelona much stronger than they are now.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Barcelona are broke, they can’t afford to buy a load of players. They have one of the highest debt levels out of any club in Europe. They need to box smart and they do it well. Look at the likes of Pedri and Yamal, top players coached through the youth systems.

They need to do more of that, La Masia is famed for a reason. Barca are not like Real, Man City, Chelsea, Liverpool who can go out and drop €100m on a player without it affecting their finances.

True, Barcelona is one top teams have highest debt and several players signing last two season still not pay fully for fees transfer, its difficult for every window transfer for Barcelona recruiting top players and Hansi Flick only promoting the academy or La Masia players to senior teams. Its not really effective if Barcelona want keep in the race for defending La Liga tittle and still want win UEFA Champion League after waiting over 12 years ago.

Barcelona's financial problem have running for longer time and its not good condition if management can't find solution, almost every new season Barcelona get problem for registering new players have to cut off their players salary firstly. Most important how to promote the youth players and make efficient with financial condition but Barcelona need progress if want get their academy player playing at the top performance.

This poor club has no money to pay all of the funds owed by them unless they sell their key players to the other club. I'm wondering why this crap La Liga still allowed them to do that. Just like Raphinha who has stayed there for years, and no sanction come to Barcelona.
It's only matter of time until their time bom is gonna be exploded. What a shameful club.

[dezoel]

A big early-season shopping spree hasn't stopped Liverpool. Reportedly, this coming winter Liverpool is ready to buy Bournemouth and Ghana striker Antoine Semenyo, 25 years old, again. Liverpool is ready to bid 75 million euros. Another news is that Barcelona's transfers for some players are not yet complete. They still owe quite a lot to several clubs. The transfer fees amount to £138 million, including £36.5 million to Leeds United for Brazilian winger Raphinha, 28, and £12 million to Manchester City for Spanish striker Ferran Torres.

Wtf?   Do Liverpool really want another striker? But it seems they still can't properly deploy all of their current squad. The only way I can believe this is that they're planning to offload Isak. But no one will buy Isak now, even for 100 million.
As for Barcelona, ​​there is nothing surprising - they still can't solve their financial problems, the only thing that surprises me is that they constantly avoid fines and serious punishments... it smacks of some privileges and corruption  

There is no way they will offload Isak this quickly, that is not going to happen. I think they are considering Semenyo for left winger and not for striker, I know Semenyo played as striker, but he isn't a terrible left winger neither.

Gakpo is a great player but they want to have a strong team with some depth, so if they have Gakpo and Semenyo at left, and Frimpong with salah on right, and Isak with Ekitike on striker, that is a team with 2 starting level players at each position. Useless way to spend their money if you ask me but if they have the money for it then they will continue to do it. Still can't understand how they are flying under FFP with all these transfers, but they must be doing something right since they are not getting any bans.

With the financial crisis at Barcelona, I am not surprised they wouldn't sign players when the January transfer window opens, because it seems Barcelona want to start paying part of their debts in January. Yes, this season Barcelona's squad is okay, and the way they have performed so far is quite impressive, and even if Barcelona doesn't sign any player in January, Barcelona can challenge Real Madrid for the title.

I am not aware of what debt they have in terms of outstanding transfer fees, but I assume you know that it is quite normal to structure these transfer fee payments in a several years lasting schedule. This is not necessarily debt in the sense that Barcelona didn't pay what was already due. It might still be a financial burden that limits them for future transfers though. If Barcelona is successful as a team and has players like Yamal, the next superstars so to say, they will always be able to leverage those tangible and intangible assets against their total debt.
