⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions

[Victorybit1]

Your suggestion is a valid one I must admit but you and I know a player has no permanent place in any club. A club can get rid of players at any time and find replacement so far they have money. The case of Messi and Barcelona experience is a good example for everyone of us to see. The only uncertainty in this case is whether Harry Kane would win trophy at a new club but I am certain bayern munich would find the right or even more better replacement if they let go of Kane. Harry Kane is performing at his peak at the moment and Barcelona is dearly in need of a performing striker since Lewandowski is gradually giving up due to his age.

Messi case is different. Barcelona had no choice but to sell him because his financial situation was already shaky and we know Messi salary at the time. Bayern, on the other hand, are not in that situation right now and Kane is in top form. It would be foolish for Bayern to decide to sell Kane or for Kane to leave.

Where is even this thought coming from ? That Bayern Munich will get rid of Harry Kane? Well I don't know what led to the spread of this rumor but am certain that Bayern Munich won't think of that option atleast for now because Harry Kane is performing very well and Bayern Munich are in very good shape with almost all wings and players contributing to goals being scored but just as you all sighted there would be a time though that his service will no longer be needed probably due to age factor .

Many agree that Barcelona has got a player to fill the empty spot in the team, Lewandowski's quality in the match is very consistent.
Barcelona is a big team that will find team and individual success if Lewandowski is maintained by Barcelona, From so far Lewandowski's game on the old team and Barcelona has given clear evidence of victory is in him. I support Barca, a great team, it is difficult to find a replacement for Lewandowski, even if there is still a difference.

For now I don’t think Barcelona has got a new player to fill the empty spot in the team, and this is the right time for them to get young players on the team to keep the team performances consistent. The best thing for Barcelona now is that they should allow Kane to go since he is already old. I think that will give them the chance to sign the young players that they need to make the team stronger than before.

Kane? You must mean Lewandowski. I think Robert Lewandowski is still a dangerous and effective player at Barcelona. He can still perform at a high level in the Champions League. He's also playing very well in the Spanish league. So, it's no surprise that the Polish striker is playing for Barcelona this year. He's effective when he plays. That's what the manager and the team want.

[Adbitco]

I don't understand this tactic from Barcelona. To get a top young player for a low price or for free, like it happened between Kylian Mbappe and Real Madrid, is surely a big investment and saving.
To take an old player like Lewandowski for free where he proved very useful for a season or two then drop significantly in performance then I wonder know if this was a good investment at all? For the short term it looks good but in the long term, what did Barcelona won? They have to find a new option every two years and rely on old players for free? I respect players like Lewandowski but strategically talking it is not the best option for a team seeking the best trophies in the world.

Well this Real Madrid pattern only works for players that has one year left on their contract and are willing to join the club again it also takes the genius of Perez to convince these players to come play for Real Madrid and as a result of that, they even reject new contracts from their team. In the case of Lewandowski leaving Bayern Munich, It was not his intention but according to him, he said Bayern Munich betrayed him and in all sincerity, what Bayern did at that time wasn't good.

[Coyster]

I think Kane may return to finish his career with Spurs or something but whilst he’s still performing at such a high standard at Bayern I think he will stay there.

Bayern look really good this season, they could win the CL.

I also think he could return to the Premier League later on in his career. Remember he is just 47 goals short of breaking Alan Shearers long-standing record as the highest goal scorer in the history of the Premier League.

Shearer has 260 goals, while Harry Kane is on 213. If i were Kane i would prolly have remained in the Premier League and only consider leaving after breaking that outstanding record. And based on his scoring record, he would comfortably break that in two seasons.

I think Bayern Munich made a few mistakes in the past. One was dismissing Robert Lewandowski, and another was the surprising dismissal of Nagelsmann despite his good form. Bayern Munich has made these mistakes in the past, but today they've become a magnificent Bayern Munich. I'm certain that if Lewandowski had been in the squad, he would have been Kane's backup. Therefore, I think it was better for Lewandowski's career to go to Barcelona.

It was a good investment in the short term. An alternative to Lewandowski should have been considered. There's a significant difference between Mbappé and Lewandowski now. If you're a team chasing championships, I'm talking about Barcelona. They were supposed to let Lewandowski go this year, but they didn't, leaving the attacking side somewhat weak. They need to reinvest. Barcelona needs to add an attacking player like Mbappé as soon as possible.

[Lida93]

The reason for Barcelona's sudden interest in victor Osimhen is for a possible replacement of Robert Lewandowski whom might be on his way out of the club at the end of this season according to reports so it's a move in the right direction for both the club and the Galatasaray striker if the deal finally goes through, I think Victor Osimhen would fit in perfectly into the Barcelona squad due to his numerous abilities and also his ability to survive anywhere he goes to.

And he'll make a perfect replacement for Lewandowski and probably do better than what Lewandowski has done at the club, Osimhen is one of the finest top 9 in Europe his stats are outstanding and they won't regret signing him if they could, anyways they messed up cause they would've signed him for a fair offer in the last summer window but would currently need to overpay to sign Osimhen out of Galatasaray especially as he recently joined the club permanently.

Absolutely, the best replacement for Robert Lewandowski, he is good on the air, he can shoot with both foot, he is a team player with so much individual brilliance to go with, what else can a club as for, Robert has it all, probably one of the best in Europe, though he hasn't been able to showcase his best with a more reputable outfit and am so excited to hear that Barcelona are interested in him, it's been quite a long time I saw a Nigeria play for Barcelona and happy Victor Osimhen might be the first in a very long time to wear the Barcelona jersey after the like of Emmanuel Amunike and Haruna Babangida who is the brother of former Super Eagles winger, Tijani Babangida who featured for Nigeria and Ajax Amsterdam.

Mbappe even turned down Macron to play for Real Madrid... Real Madrid was able to make such a transfer because Mbappe was ready to do anything to play for Real Madrid. I think the player's desire is more important than anything else at this point and -in my opinion- because Real Madrid has achieved greater global fame with its successes in recent years, the young stars of this era seem to show more interest in Real Madrid...

Real Madrid has a very young squad. Their new signings, Huijsen, are 20 and Carreras are 22. Considering Arda Güler is 20, they have a truly young squad. Furthermore, I don't see any players who are particularly old. Of course, we're in a period where Real Madrid is quite popular, just like in previous periods. When you mention Real Madrid, few players in the world would reject him. That's why the club president is leveraging the team's reputation so effectively. This was also a significant factor in the Mbappé signing.

If they can replace Lewandowski with a proper striker like Osimhen then they are going to be doing a lot better, it's guaranteed. I am sure that they will definitely be a lot better and shouldn't be a problem at all.

However, if they end up replacing him with Ferran Torres or Fermin Lopez or whatever else they have laying around and just use it because they have nobody else, then the yare going to suck like this. They knew what they were getting into for the past few seasons, Lewandowski may had a good year, but he also had bad years too, and they are reaching to a point where they are not doing that great anymore with him due to his age. We should expect him to retire soon or go to Saudi league type of team.

[slapper]

Kane is 32 years old and has a contract with Bayern until the summer of 2027, when he will turn 35. I think by then Bayern will either offer him a one-year contract (as they did with Lewandowski) or simply let him go for free. At that point, Barcelona would definitely have a chance to land him, as they are unlikely to be able to make any serious signings even by then, and continuing their strategy of free transfers and cheap loans would be profitable. But while Kane is in prime time or nearby, Barcelona won't see him.

Is not about Barcelona getting him, did he want to join them? Or will he like to play in Laliga?

Well it will depend on his performance even at the age of 35 because a striker like him that is scoring goals for fun will definitely be retained by his present club, and I think Bayern Munich will keep offering him yearly contract or on two year basis until he can’t play anymore.

Furthermore, I heard that he have a plan to need some goals number in the Premier League which means he will like to go back to the EPL to set more records by scoring more goals, if he is working towards that, he will likely join any of the big clubs like Manchester United to complete his goals, but he can’t join Arsenal I am sure.

Barca is unable even to breathe at the moment. They are literally playing accounting games so that they can save out a few million here and there. Kane's on €25M a year. Where do you get that money? It's pure fantasy. This had been closed down by Kane himself in October. He claimed that he is fully committed to Bayern and that his urge to come back to the Premier League has diminished slightly. No longer a guy with a daydream about Spain or England



You are correct Bayern will sign the annual contracts, however, they are cruel about it. They have simply kicked Muller out this summer after forcing him to sign one-year deals. Kane saw that to his own teammate. He knows what's coming

The Premier League record? Sure, he needs 47 more goals. But when he returns at 34, he is grinding until he is almost 40. And for what? At 25 years old Haaland has already scored 98 goals. Whatever Kane does, he will smash it

Man United is broke, Chelsea is just after kids and Tottenham has just bought Solanke. There is no realistic ending to the romantic story. He remains, he wins the Champions League, turns into a Bayern legend. Sometimes that's just the way it is

[joniboini]

Honestly, I think that sounds cool too. A perfect ending is a rarity. If anything, you could argue that some players got bad treatment relatively often compared to good endings. At the end of the day, winning something is the most important for a player like him. That's why he moved to another club in the first place.

Who else saw the reaction of Liverpool fans when Trent Alexander-Arnold came into the game. He could barely kick the ball without them booing him. This made him make lots of mistake passes in the game. Only few accurate passes after being subbed in.

My question, does he deserve this kind of treatment from his former side? Are players not allowed to leave for their dream club anymore if they had the chance?

Liverpool fans has no right whatsoever to treat Alexander-Arnold the way they did today that was a very wrong thing they did, imagine Liverpool playing against Newcastle and Newcastle fans start booing Isak are they going to find it funny? They succeeded in making him make a lot of mistakes but they shouldn't forget that what goes around will surely come around.

Alexander-Arnold wasn't supposed to be humiliated the way they did him I mean the is the same player that spent years serving Liverpool now his decision to further his career is the offense he committed against his former them I think the management of Liverpool should better call the fars to order cause they aren't doing the best thing.

Lewandowski performance has started to decline due to age, and I think that’s completely natural. Barcelona certainly need to recruit a worthy replacement or someone close to Lewandowski quality, and I think relying on Ferran Torres or Fermin Lopez won’t be good enough. Osimhen is a quality number 9 and one of the strikers worth considering for recruitment when the transfer window reopens.

However, signing him from Galatasaray would be quite challenging, especially due to his high price, which could make things difficult for Barcelona. Still, if Barcelona want to remain a title contending team in every competition, they must find a way to bring in a long term replacement for Lewandowski. Meanwhile, the Saudi Pro League or MLS could be good options for Lewandowski next destination.

Finally, Stefano Pioli has been officially sacked by Fiorentina. His performance as the new coach this season has been very poor since the start of the season. They have been too slow and too long to trust Fiorentina to Pioli, whose performance has become increasingly worse. They are currently in the relegation zone, without a single win throughout Pioli's career at Fiorentina.

Some of the candidates being discussed are D'Aversa, Vanoli, or A. Palladino. The goal is for Fiorentina to bounce back and avoid relegation to Serie B, based on the club's performance so far, which has been top-tier, but under Pioli, everything is shaky.

I'm sorry, are you actually putting on the same level Isak and AAT? Trent was born and raised in Liverpool, he came from the academy, he spent all his career playing for Liverpool so he was considered a club legend. Isak is a Swedish player who simply played a few years for Newcastle, he has no ties with England nor Newcastle, so it's a totally different situation. I totally understand Liverpool's fans.

Liverpool fans shouldn't have done this because in football, things like this are normal and happen often. Alexander-Arnold actually performed well in that match, as I saw him play quite well, even though the pressure was real. Sometimes fans overreact when a player leaves, and this kind of thing happens all the time in football, although we saw fans reacting because they were disappointed with Alexander-Arnold's decision to leave for Real Madrid. This is a good win for Liverpool after experiencing some undesirable circumstances, and they are starting to show signs of change and are getting back on track.

AC Milan's head coach former Stefano Pioli finally sacked from his position as Fiorentina's head coach after quite disappointed performance in Serie A matches, appointed as new manager at the early season Stefano Pioli failed bring Fiorentina reach the higher standings position and only got 4 points 10 matches with Fiorentina dropped to bottom standings position.

I think right decision did by Fiorentina's management by sacking Stefano Pioli after playing 10 matches still not winning one single match yet, its really achievement for Fiorentina in this season after playing 10 games still not winning one match yet and have losses 6 matches at Serie A. If keep defend Stefano Pioli for few matches later not sure yet get the first victory, now Fiorentina must find the right head coach for replacing Stefano Pioli if won't relegated to Serie B next season during have many matches left in Serie A.
